List of episodes

The Amazing Race 19 is the nineteenth season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race . Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the world in order to win US$1,000,000. ^[1] This season visited four continents and ten countries and traveled over 35,000 miles (56,000 km). Starting in Hacienda Heights, California, racers traveled through Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Malawi, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Panama before returning to the United States and finishing in Atlanta. New twists introduced in this season include the Hazard – an extra task for the last team to finish the first task – and a double elimination leg. The season premiered on CBS on September 25, 2011, ^[2] and the finale aired on December 11, 2011.

Engaged couple Ernie Halvorsen and Cindy Chiang were the winners of this season, while dating couple Jeremy Cline and Sandy Draghi finished in second place, and married couple Amani and Marcus Pollard finished in third place.

Production

Development and filming

Hacienda Heights's Hsi Lai Temple was the site of the starting line for The Amazing Race 19, where teams had to first search through several oil-paper umbrellas.

This season traveled a little over 35,000 miles (56,000 km) to 20 cities across four continents. ^[3] This season included first-time visits to Denmark, Indonesia, Malawi, and Belgium. ^[4] Filming started on June 18, 2011, with teams seen leaving Los Angeles International Airport and heading to Taiwan. ^[5] As with the previous season, racers had a task they had to perform before receiving tickets to their first destination. ^[3] American film crews were also spotted in Hillerød, Denmark on July 4. ^[6]

Two new game elements were introduced in this season. Leg 1 introduced the Hazard: a penalty that one team incurred for being the last team to finish the starting line task. According to Phil Keoghan, the Hazard was added to "test people's mental strength out of the gate", and claimed that it had a "rolling effect" throughout the rest of the season. ^[7] Leg 2 was the first time in which two teams were eliminated at the Pit Stop. ^[4]

During the first leg, Kaylani Paliotta lost her passport at a gas station while en route from Hsi Lai Temple to Los Angeles International Airport. Kaylani & Lisa returned to the gas station to search for the passport, but could not find it and opted to proceed to the airport, hoping that another racer had picked it up. The camera crew accompanying the team had seen the dropped passport, but could not act on it, and instead informed production of the situation. Production prepared to conduct an impromptu elimination and Phil Keoghan rushed to the airport. The passport was found by two bystanders who had previously helped another team at the gas station. After posting about the incident on Twitter, a fan of the show advised them to take the passport to the airport, and they were able to return it to Kaylani before her scheduled flight. ^[8]

Leg 5 was supposed to take place in Laos. However, a monsoon caused heavy flooding in the country and forced the production team to construct an additional leg in Thailand instead. Laos would eventually be visited later in The Amazing Race 31 . ^[9]

Release

Broadcast

On March 28, 2011, The Amazing Race was renewed for a nineteenth season set to air during the 2011–12 television schedule. ^[10] On August 31, 2011, CBS announced that the season would premiere on September 25. ^[11]

Marketing

Lastly, they finished by performing two victory doughnuts before receiving their next clue.
• After the Roadblock, teams had to drive to the Hoofdbrug in Ghent and find their next clue.
• This leg's Detour was a choice between Water or Waffle. In Water, teams had to use provided materials to build a raft and search the Leie River for the two halves of their next clue. In Waffle, teams had to build a waffle stand and then bake and decorate eighteen Belgian waffles to the chef's satisfaction before receiving their next clue.
• After the Detour, teams had to drive to the Muur van Geraardsbergen, where they released a flock of homing pigeons and were then given an address where the pigeons were flying. Once there, teams could retrieve their next clue from one of the pigeons – a picture of the Atomium – which teams had to identify in order to find the Pit Stop.

• At the start of this leg, teams had to dress up as the two detectives from the Belgian The Adventures of Tintin comic, and had to figure out one of the three names by which the characters are known in Belgium. Then, using a photo given to them with the clue, teams had to find a man dressed as Tintin standing in front of a Tintin mural and tell him any variation of the characters' names in order to receive their next clue. Teams were instructed to travel by train to Amsterdam, Netherlands, and then fly to Panama City, Panama. Once there, teams had to travel by boat to Parara Puru and sign up for one of four times the next morning to receive a temporary tattoo, which revealed their next location: the San Francisco Bay Towers in San Francisco.
• In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to cross a 65-foot (20 m) tightrope between the 35-story towers, pick up their clue from the other tower, and then cross back to the first tower.
• After the Roadblock, teams were given a riddle – "Success in Suez led him to Panama. His failure inspired others to succeed. Find him beneath a rooster and you'll find your next clue." – directing them to the statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps in the Plaza de Francia.
• This season's final Detour was a choice between Filet or Sole. In Filet, teams traveled to Panama's largest fish market, where they had to deliver fish to different stalls throughout the market. Each stall only accepted a certain kind of fish up to a certain weight. Once they were done with their deliveries, they received their next clue. In Sole, teams traveled to the Salsipuedes Market, where they had to find a sandal stall and use one piece of leather each to make the sole and strapping for a pair of sandals in order to receive their next clue.

Episode summary

• At the start of this leg, teams were instructed to fly to Atlanta, Georgia. Once there, teams had to travel to FlightSafety International and find their next clue. There, teams had to select a flight instructor, who taught them how to operate a Learjet flight simulator, and then successfully complete a simulated landing at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport from an altitude of 2,500 feet (760 m) in order to receive their next clue. Teams were then instructed to find their next clue at "the former residence known as The Dump", which they had to figure out was the former home of Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone with the Wind .
• In this season's final Roadblock, one team member had to type out their next clue using a vintage Remington 3 typewriter, duplicating an example message perfectly and with no mistakes. Additionally, as the typewriters did not have a key for the number 1, they had to figure out that they could use the lower-case letter l as a substitute.
• After the Roadblock, teams had to figure out that the three numbers on the clue were an homage to Hank Aaron: 44 (his uniform number), 715 (the number of home runs he hit to break the Major League Baseball home run record) and 74 (the year in which he broke the record). Teams had to figure out that they had to go to Turner Field, where one team member had to loop a rope through a series of carabiners, each representing a specific country on a large unlabeled vertical map, and map out the racecourse while their teammate gave help from the ground below. Once they had the correct course, teams received their final clue, which directed them to the finish line: Swan House.

Reception

Critical response

The Amazing Race 19 received mixed reviews. Andy Dehnart of reality blurred wrote that this season was "yet another example of the race dumbing itself down." ^[16] Scott Von Doviak of The A.V. Club wrote that he'd "have to rank this as one of the lesser seasons, probably in the bottom third. Too many lackluster teams and tasks, too many non-elimination legs, and the absence of any compelling heroes and villains all added to a rather disappointing trip around the globe." ^[17] Daniel Fienberg of HitFix wrote that the season "left me frustrated more often than it left me exhilarated" calling it lackluster due to "Too many Non-Elimination Legs too early. Too many bland, copacetic couples. Too many bland, copacetic couples who, predictably, got along too well." ^[18] Luke Dwyer of TV Fanatic graded this season with a B saying "the majority of the legs and destinations were good, but not great. The cast was likable, but beyond Andy and Tommy, nothing spectacular. The finale was a dud and that's always going to bring the feel of the season down." ^[19] Michael Hewitt of the Orange County Register wrote that "the Race had been losing a bit of its mojo for several seasons, hitting bottom with the spring's Second Chances edition. This fall's 19th Race was much improved, though, and it remains the most brilliantly shot and edited show on TV" and that this season had "a few more challenging challenges and the clues often required some solving on the parts of the contestants." ^{[20] [21]} In 2016, this season was ranked 17th out of the first 27 seasons by the Rob Has a Podcast Amazing Race correspondents. ^[22] Kareem Gantt of Screen Rant wrote that this season "had some legs that kind of underwhelmed, but overall, the drama and suspense of the race trumped the season's shortcomings, which were rather minute, to be honest." ^[23] In 2021, Jane Andrews of Gossip Cop ranked this season as the show's 8th best season. ^[24] Val Barone of TheThings ranked this season as the show's 8th best season. ^[25] In 2022, Jason Shomer of Collider ranked this season among the show's top seven seasons. ^[26] In 2022, Rhenn Taguiam of Game Rant ranked this season as the fourth-best season. ^[27] In 2024, Taguiam's ranking was updated with this season becoming the sixth-best season. ^[28]
