The Amazing Race 13 spanned 40,000 miles ( 64,000 km ) in 23 days, visiting eight different countries. This included the series ' first visits to Bolivia, Cambodia and Kazakhstan, and return visits to Brazil, New Zealand, India, and Russia, with the finish line in Portland, Oregon. CBS had originally planned to only air one installment of The Amazing Race ( season 12 ) in the 2007 -- 08 season, but due to the 2007 -- 2008 Writers Guild of America strike, CBS ordered a 13th installment as a replacement for programs affected by the strike. CBS greenlit the 13th installment on December 9, 2007. Race locations were scouted in January 2008 and filming took place between April and May 2008. This is the second season with a course that circumnavigated the world westward ( The Amazing Race 10 was the first, and followed by later seasons ). This was the first season in which an eliminated team was absent from the finish line, where teams normally cheer on the finalists, as Dallas Imbimbo ( of Toni & Dallas ) had misplaced his passport and the team 's money in Russia on the penultimate leg. This had been hinted at in promotional materials aired before the Race began, where CBS revealed that one team made `` an unprecedented mistake that ultimately prohibit ( ed ) them from joining their fellow Racers at the finish line. '' In a post-race interview, Dallas revealed that the loss of the passport and money was partly caused by the changing of a microphone battery by production. The passport was eventually turned in at the U.S. Embassy in Russia, but it was still too late for Dallas and his mother to join their fellow racers at the finish line. Emily `` Starr '' Spangler revealed in a post-race interview that Toni and Dallas joined the other racers in Portland, Oregon at a party the night following the end of the race. Post-race interviews revealed that Emily `` Starr '' Spangler and Dallas Imbimbo -- who competed on opposing teams -- had been long - distance dating for six months, since the show completed taping. Andrew Lappitt and Daniel `` Dan '' Honig ( of Andrew & Dan ) stated in a post-race interview that the second U-Turn was available on Leg 9 but it was not used by any teams, thus it was not aired in the show. This was the first season in which racers did not use an available U-Turn ( a race feature introduced in the previous season ). Cast See also : List of The Amazing Race ( U.S. TV series ) contestants Applications for The Amazing Race 13 were due on November 27, 2007.

Kelly & Christy checked - in during their penalty time, dropping Mark & Bill to last place and resulting in their elimination. ^ Terence & Sarah initially arrived 3rd, but were issued a 30 - minute penalty for speeding.

Subsequently eliminated teams telephoned to inform the teams at the villa of their elimination, but continued to run the race as decoys to throw off spoilers to the final outcome of the race. The sequestered teams met up with the decoy teams in the final destination city, to cheer the final three teams at the finish line. ( The exception was Toni & Dallas, who were stuck in Russia after their elimination due to the loss of Dallas ' passport. ) CBS posted short videos on its website after each episode aired in the Pacific Time Zone to show the eliminated teams interacting at the villa. After Leg 1, Anita & Arthur were the first team eliminated and sent to the villa. They expressed their disappointment for being eliminated so early but were also appreciative of their surroundings. After Leg 2, Anthony & Stephanie were the second team eliminated and sent to the villa. Anita and Arthur were surprised but excited that it was them, and Anthony and Stephanie felt welcomed and less depressed over their elimination. Over a meal, they predicted that Terence & Sarah would win the race. The two teams then enjoyed the sights and sounds of Acapulco. After Leg 3, Mark & Bill were the third team eliminated and sent to the villa. They were glad that the two teams there were shocked and saddened to hear that they were eliminated. As they retold how they were eliminated, they found Mexican wrestling masks in their room. The six were later brought, at night, to a luchadore exhibition where Anthony and Stephanie had a lack of interest and left to roam the streets instead. After Leg 4, Marisa & Brooke were the fourth team eliminated and sent to the villa. They were excited on how lavish the villa was. They then discussed what happened in New Zealand before they all went into town and Anthony, Stephanie, and Bill did a bungee jump. After Leg 5, Aja & Ty were the fifth team eliminated and sent to the villa. Before they arrived, the others went to the market and prepared a celebratory lunch. The teams were surprised that it was Aja & Ty, who brought news about the race. After the meal, Anthony did not offer to help clean, leaving Stephanie embarrassed. Meanwhile, Ty felt awkward and predicted that Andrew & Dan would be the next team eliminated. Leg 6 was a non-elimination leg. The five eliminated teams went to the beach where they encountered a weird individual who staged a `` performance '' for the teams in the ocean. There were mixed reactions from the teams with Anita being thrilled and filled with admiration while Ty was having difficulty understanding the different lifestyle of the people in Mexico. After Leg 7, Kelly & Christy were the sixth team eliminated. They called the villa during the early hours in Acapulco, and recalled their horrifying `` Holi Festival '' Roadblock experience and gave them an update on the race. After Leg 8, Terence & Sarah were the seventh team eliminated. Before their phone call, the eliminated teams went to La Quebrada to watch cliff divers. After that, they gave opinions on who would be eliminated next. Most of them thought it would be Andrew & Dan. They were all shocked when Terence & Sarah called, as several were rooting for them. Leg 9 was a non-elimination leg. While Aja and Ty had a minor tiff with each other, Marisa and Brooke struggled to make toast. Anthony started complaining about how slow time is passing in the villa. All in all, most of the sequestered teams reveal that they are missing home and are eager to return to their normal lives. Most of them wanted to see either Toni & Dallas or Ken & Tina win the race. After Leg 10, Toni & Dallas were the eighth and final team to be eliminated. The first five eliminated teams packed - up to head for the finish line location. As they packed to leave the villa, each team recalled their experience with each other at the villa and expressed their excitement for returning home. Leg 11 was the final leg of The Amazing Race 13. The five sequestered teams arrived in Portland, Oregon, where they checked into a hotel and were reunited with Terence and Sarah. Toni and Dallas then called the six teams at the hotel, breaking the news that they had been eliminated and would most likely not be joining them at the finish line due to their passport mishap. The teams then went to the finish line, where they reunited with Kelly and Christy, and some of the teams again expressed who they wanted to win. Nick & Starr express their joy and disbelief at winning the race, while Ken & Tina express their disappointment but vow to make their marriage work. Andrew & Dan express their elation at making it to third place.

Additional tasks The clue after the Detour instructed teams to travel to Bridge of the Gods at Cascade Locks. There, teams had to take a zipline from the bridge, along the Columbia River, to the nearby Thunder Island. On the island, teams then undertook a memory challenge involving the previous ten legs. Given an answer board with spaces numbered for the first ten legs, they removed covers one at a time, revealing a symbol of a Roadblock, Detour, Route Info, or Pit Stop. Teams will then have to search through 150 identical clue boxes to find a picture depicting that task or location from that leg. When they retrieved a picture and placed it on the board in the corresponding position, a green light would indicate it was correct and they could move on to the next ; otherwise they had to try again.

The clue after the Food Cart task instructed teams to travel to the place where `` the magic is in the hole '', and left them to deduce the reference to Voodoo Doughnut, where teams would find their final clue.
