Notes
1: Chip & Kim and Kami & Karli initially arrived 1st and 2nd, respectively, but they had missed the clue to the Detour, having simply arrived by chance at one of the options. They had to go back and retrieve the clue before checking in, causing them to fall to 8th and 9th, respectively.
2: Marshall & Lance, exhausted and already in dead last, decided to quit the race during the Roadblock, marking the first time ever that host Phil Keoghan had to eliminate a team still on the race course.
3: Leg 8 had an unaired Roadblock that involved buying and delivering nuts. Only Chip and Linda have confirmed to participated in this Roadblock.
4: Leg 13 had an unaired Roadblock that involved pitching a teepee. All three teams have confirmed members performing the task.
