The second season of The Amazing Race traveled 52,000 miles in 28 days, spanning 5 continents and 8 different countries. Filming occurred between January and February 2002. The Race visited the countries of Brazil, Namibia, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the continents of South America and, for the first time, Oceania. It was the only season ( excluding The Amazing Race 8 that was run only in North America ) to non-stop in Europe. The edition marked the debut of several Race traditions. The color scheme for all route markers and flags was changed to yellow and red after the previous season 's yellow and white. In addition, host Phil Keoghan and a local greeter welcomed all teams arriving at the Pit Stops at the end of each leg ; previously, Keoghan appeared only to greet ( and usually eliminate ) the last - place team. Contestant Cyndi Kalenberg claimed that there was confusion about the vehicle replacement rules in Leg 2, in which the racers were informed that if their designated jeep broke down the racers themselves would have to pay for repairs and wait for it to be fixed. Blake and Paige, however, were provided with a new vehicle when their jeep broke down, helping them to beat Hope and Norm in a race for second - to - last place to the Pit Stop. This enabled Blake and Paige to stay in the race while Hope and Norm were eliminated. For the next season, Race policy was changed so that a team would receive a replacement if a production - provided vehicle broke down or became unsafe to drive through no fault of the team. Teams would not be given any time credit in the event of a break down. Towards the end of the final leg, Chris and Alex passed Tara ( and later Wil ) in a foot race to the finish line. This marks the closest finish in the U.S. version of The Amazing Race ; the second season of the Latin American version ended with the winning team beating the second - place team by just a few yards.

An underlined blue team placement indicates that the team was the last to arrive at a Pit Stop in a non-elimination leg of the race. A green ƒ indicates that the team won a Fast Forward clue. If placed next to a leg number, this indicates that the Fast Forward was available for that leg but not used. ^ There is ambiguity over the spelling of Deidre 's name. In the first two episodes, the opening and on - screen graphics show her name as `` Deidre ''. Beginning with the third episode, the opening shows her name as `` Diedre ''. ^ Blake & Paige and Hope & Norm both agreed to a 4th place tie after both teams stepped on the Pit Stop mat at the same time. ^ Blake & Paige and Shola & Doyin both agreed to a 5th place tie after both teams stepped on the Pit Stop mat at the same time. ^ Peggy & Claire left the Pit Start in Foz do Iguaçu 37 minutes late since they overslept and missed their departure time. This did not affect their overall placement in Leg 3. ^ In their respective elimination legs, Peggy & Claire, Shola & Doyin, and Mary & Peach all fell so far behind by the time where all the other teams had already checked in ( Peggy & Claire arrived at the Route Marker in Robben Island ; Shola & Doyin were unable to complete the Detour ; Mary & Peach arrived at Wishing Tea Detour location ). Instead of being allowed to complete all tasks left in the leg, they were each instructed to go directly to the Pit Stop for elimination. ^ Gary & Dave initially arrived 2nd, and Chris & Alex arrived 7th, but they were each issued a retroactive 42 - minute penalty for speeding during the leg ( 12 - minutes for the time gained plus the standard 30 - minute violation penalty ). Both teams served their penalties before beginning the next leg ; this dropped Gary & Dave to 3rd to depart, while Chris & Alex remained in 7th. ^ Tara & Wil attempted to do the Fast Forward with the climbing task but they did not want to wait with the hours of operation. As a result, no team claimed the Fast Forward. ^ Wil and Blake both incorrectly performed the Roadblock with their partners and had to completely re-do the Roadblock before getting their next clue. ^ Tara & Wil initially arrived 2nd, but were given a 1 - minute credit due to a minor production difficulty. This allowed them to tie for first with Blake & Paige, and were also given the prize for winning the leg as a result.
