The Amazing Race 2

## Season Chronology

***The Amazing Race 2***, subtitled the ***The Great American Journey***, is the second installment of *TARDIS Industries* and is based on the hit television series. It ran from January 8, 2020 to March 28, 2021.

## Development

The second season of *The Amazing Race* traveled 11,000 miles (17,702 km) within 18 days, through 1 continent, 4 countries, and 24 different cities.

Unlike *The Amazing Race 1*, this season was planned and ran as a partner season, staying true to the original *Amazing Race* format. The season was original previewed to have only 10 teams, however, upon the cast reveal, it turned out that there were 12 teams. Applications for the first season were held for two and a half weeks, starting on December 14, 2020 and ending on January 3, 2021. Casting received a total of 24 applications, each being compromised of a two person team.

Continuing with the tradition of Season 1, racers travelled ahead in the timeline to June of 2021. This season, the Doctor was joined by Season 1 racer Aidan D. As the main mode of transportation of The Doctor, Aidan, a local greeter, and the TARDIS was present at every Pit Stop, including the Finish Line, and served as the main residence for racers between legs.

## Twist/Changes

* **Pairs Instead of Individuals:** Unlike *The Amazing Race 1*, the format for Season 2 returned back to partners, with each team being comprised of two racers. As a result, the Roadblock completion limit was reinstated to no more than 6 Roadblocks per racer.
* **Travel Restriction:** For this season, the race course was adjusted due to international travel restrictions. Teams only traveled within North America, staying primarily in the United States.
* **Stars Board:** In honor of the theme this season, the Stars board was introduced where teams sent to the board are given rewards or punishments.
	+ Star #1: For winning the first of leg of the race Sebby & Paco were awarded the Salvage Pass which they could use to save the last place team, Eduardo & Joey P or have a departure time that is 30 minutes earlier in Leg 2. They chose the earlier departure time.
	+ Star #2: For having the highest score during the air balloon simulation, Gabe & Oscar were allowed to skip the hot air balloon ride and depart with the first group leaving the hot air balloon experience.
	+ Star #3: This star was intended to be a 20 minute penalty to the team that lost the Face Off, however since  Luke & Ryan quit the race, the star was not given out.
	+ Star #4: For coming in last place during the leg, Sebby & Paco were ordered to continue racing but given a penalty, which normally does not happen on a No Rest Pit Stop. That penalty was the Speed Bump.
	+ Star #5: For winning Leg 6, Sara & Michael were given an advantage which they could use on any task of their choosing the next leg.
	+ Star #6: The team that completed an optional puzzle the fastest would be given a Blind Yield. Sara & Michael won Star 6 and used the Blind Yield on Jake B & Joey F on Leg 8.
