It spanned a little over 25,000 miles ( 40,000 km ) of travel to three continents and nine countries including China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Turkey, and the Netherlands, which hosted a Switchback task. This season introduced the `` Double Your Money '' prize for the team who won the first leg, making them eligible to win a total of $2 million if they also won the final leg ; only six teams in the previous twenty seasons of the race have ever won both the first and final legs. Elise Doganieri, co-executive producer for the show, called the larger potential prize `` a real game - changer ''. While teams reacted with excitement at the larger prize, Doganieri hoped that if it was won, the additional prize money would be used for `` something wonderful '' such as supporting charitable medical research. Abbie Ginsberg and Ryan Danz, winners of the Double Your Money prize for its inaugural season, were eliminated from the competition at the conclusion of the Race 's ninth leg, after being U-Turned by Jaymes and James. In Leg 3, Caitlin and Brittany were seen taken in the wrong direction of the Pit Stop, but in a post-elimination interview they stated that they actually knew where the Pit Stop was and were coming back to the Pit Stop after `` backtracking '' to retrieve a missing clue. During that leg, the race featured the series ' first - ever Blind Double U-Turn, where two teams could U-Turn another team, and whichever team used the U-Turn could remain anonymous. It was a combination of components of the U-Turn of previous seasons : Double U-Turn combining with Blind U-Turn. Although contestants are typically forbidden contact with known family and friends during the filming ( except where such contact is part of a task ), James LoMenzo was shown video chatting with his wife during the fourth Pit Stop to receive an update on his father 's medical condition. On Leg 7 in Moscow, prior to a task, James and Mark had left their bags, including James ' passport, in a waiting gypsy cab, but the cab had driven off with their bags by the time they completed the task. They continued the leg, but before they could check in, they were told they had to try to find James ' passport to continue the race. Ultimately, they ended the leg in last place, learning it was a non-elimination leg, but if they were required to leave the country on the next leg, they would be automatically disqualified. The entirety of the next leg remained in Russia, but they ended up in last after spending time again searching for the passport, and were eliminated. As the production continued, the two had to secure an exit visa for James in lieu of a valid passport. According to James, the events of these legs occurred on the Friday and Saturday prior to a major Russian holiday, and it became difficult to work through the limited bureaucracy to do this. The two were fortunate enough that James ' prior fame was recognized by an employee at the U.S. Embassy, and they were able to secure the visa in time to fly back to the United States on the day prior to the race 's finale.

They were issued a 4 - hour penalty, which was assessed at the start of Leg 8. ^ Natalie & Nadiya used the Express Pass to bypass the Roadblock in Leg 8. The official website states that Natalie elected to perform the Roadblock ; this is reflected in the total Roadblock count. ^ As they spent much of the Leg trying to retrieve Abba 's passport or acquire a new one, James & Abba were only shown retrieving the Speed Bump clue and traveling to the task before arriving at the Pit Stop for elimination. On the official website, Abba disclosed that he was able to complete the Roadblock, but it is unknown whether they attempted or completed the Detour. ^ Trey & Lexi U-Turned Jaymes & James ; however, they had already passed the U-Turn point and were therefore unaffected by it.

In this leg 's Roadblock, one team member had to find a store display containing three different types of mushrooms ( grey oysters, wood blewits, and shiitake ). Using one of the baskets they picked up at the train station, they then had to enter an underground mushroom farm, find the same three types of mushrooms, and collect 10 of each variety. If they found the correct three mushroom types, the shopkeeper would give them their next clue. Additional tasks Upon arrival at the train station in Saint - Pierre - des - Corps at France 's Loire Valley, teams had to load 8 empty baskets from the nearby Brasserie de la Tour restaurant into their Ford Escapes, which they would use on the leg, using its hands - free liftgate opening / closing feature before heading off to the Château de Villandry. At Château de Villandry, teams had to search the Château 's gardens for a stone dog statue that had their next clue, telling them to find Leonardo da Vinci 's final resting place. This left teams on their own to figure out that it referred to the Chapel of Saint - Hubert at the Château d'Amboise where they searched for their next clue. After the Roadblock, teams had to go to the `` Castle of the Ladies '' and were left on their own to figure out that this meant the Château de Chenonceau, the Pit Stop for this leg. Leg 12 ( France → United states ) The final Roadblock of the Race took place inside the gates of United Nations Headquarters in New York City and had teams associating national flags with the different `` hellos '' and `` goodbyes '' they heard during the race. Airdate : December 9, 2012 Paris ( Charles de Gaulle Airport ) to New York City, New York, USA ( John F. Kennedy International Airport ) Brooklyn ( Coney Island -- Riegelmann Boardwalk ) Brooklyn ( Brooklyn Navy Yard ) Manhattan ( Lombardi 's Pizza ) Manhattan ( United Nations Headquarters ) Manhattan ( Gotham Hall ) In the first Roadblock of the final leg, one team member was put into a straitjacket and bungee harness, and hoisted upside down 15 stories above the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Then they had to escape the bonds of the straitjacket -- a feat made famous by Harry Houdini -- upon which they would be dropped in a surprise bungee drop. After being lowered to the ground, the team would be given their next clue. In the final Roadblock of the Race, the team member that did not perform the first Roadblock was required to attach the words for `` hello '' and `` goodbye '' -- as said to them by the Pit Stop greeter in their native language -- in the eight foreign countries visited during the Race and raise them up the flagpole flying that country 's flag. The correct answers were : Country ( language ) Hello Goodbye China ( Mandarin ) Nǐ Hǎo ( 您 好 ) Zài Jiàn ( 再见 ) Indonesia ( Indonesian ) Hai Selamat Tinggal Bangladesh ( Bengali ) Shagotom ( স্বাগতম ) Aabar Dekha Hobe ( আবার দেখা হবে ) Turkey ( Turkish ) Merhaba Hoşça Kal Russia ( Russian ) Zdrávstvujtye ( Здраствуйте ) Do Svidániya ( До Свидания ) Netherlands ( Dutch ) Hallo Tot Ziens Spain ( Spanish ) Hola Adios France ( French ) Bonjour Au Revoir Once all flag sets were correct, they could then hoist the flag of the United Nations, which would also lower their final clue, the finish line : Gotham Hall. Additional tasks At the start of the leg, teams were given a post card depicting their final destination city : New York City. The post card, in particular, depicted a certain view at Coney Island. Upon arriving at Coney Island, teams were left on their own to figure out that they had to find the exact location shown in the photo, and that their next clue was printed out on advertisements nearby. After the first Roadblock, the clue teams received instructed them to go to the first pizzeria in New York, leaving them to figure out it was Lombardi 's Pizza in Manhattan. At Lombardi 's, teams were told they had to deliver ten pizzas with various toppings to three different addresses in Little Italy, without being allowed to take any notes. Once they had successfully delivered all three orders, they were given a blue badge emblazoned with a logo as their next clue. Teams had to figure out it was the logo for the United Nations and their next destination was at the UN Headquarters.
