Amazing Race 22 Trivia

1. How many teams took a penalty instead of completing the sandcastle Road Block in Leg 1?

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 22"

Answer: Three

The first leg of the race took teams from Los Angeles to Bora Bora. Upon arriving, teams found their first Road Block right at the airport-- a task requiring one team member to take a harrowing 10,000 feet parachute out of a helicopter (completed by John, Jamil, Connor, Winnie, Chuck, Caroline, Anthony, Matt, Max, Mona, and Meghan). The second Road Block in this first leg was less harrowing but, seemingly, more difficult as the other team members needed to search through four hundred sandcastles on a Bora Bora beach for their clue. If they broke a sandcastle, they needed to rebuild it before checking another. The heat and stress overwhelmed several racers leading to four hour time penalties for Katie, Jennifer, and Daniel.

Answer: Pacific Ocean

Teams' first Detour task was given to them at the chapel at the Hilton Bora Bora Nui in Bora Bora. There, teams could choose between 'Pick a Pearl' and 'Take a Trunk'. Both involved searching the Pacific and grabbing water shoes and snorkelling gear. In 'Pick a Pearl', teams had to dive into open water until they located lines of shells that they could pry open to harvest two red pearls. Dave and Connor, Jessica and John, Anthony and Bates, Joey and Meghan, Pam and Winnie, and Chuck and Wynona completed this task. Meanwhile, in 'Take a Trunk', teams dove deep to the ocean floor wearing diving helmets, located a trunk, and constructed an 'underwater dining experience' to get their next clue. Mona and Beth, Max and Katie, Caroline and Jennifer, and Idries and Jamil finished this one.

Answer: Belfast

In this penultimate leg of the race, the final four teams departed from their tenth Pit Stop on Niddry Street South (in Edinburgh, Scotland's Old Town), and were told to catch a ferry to their next country, Northern Ireland. To do this, teams needed to take a train from Edinburgh to Stranraer on the southwestern tip of the country and hop on a boat taking them across the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland's capital. Once there, they had to proceed on foot to All-Route Shipping Limited where they would find the Ford Fiestas that they would be using for this leg of the race.

Answer: Dresden

Heading out from the Alpine city of Grindelwald, Switzerland at the start of Leg 9, teams were told to head to the airport in Zurich and fly themselves to the city of Dresden, Germany. Upon their arrival they needed to get into taxis and travel to their Ford vehicles waiting outside the Ministry of Finance. Inside they would have to use a feature in the car to answer three trivia questions about their next destination before they would be given their next clue automatically. They would then have to leave Dresden.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [4]

Answer: Anthony and Bates

Departing from the Pit Stop at the Meno A Kwena Safari Camp in Makgadikgadi Pans National Park early in the morning, teams needed to proceed on foot to their four-wheel drive vehicles and navigate their way through the nearby town of Maun to the Makoro Poling Station in Boro Village. Two teams, surprisingly, were caught speeding and needed to pay their fines before proceeding. Others got hopelessly lost. Upon arriving at the village teams had the chance to complete the Fast Forward which required that they stay standing on water skis for an entire minute while jetting down the nearby Thamalakane River. Anthony and Bates finished this task before being taken to the Pit Stop.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [3]

Answer: Dave and Connor

Departing from their Pit Stop overlooking Uluwatu Surf Beach on the island of Bali, Indonesia, teams were instructed to head to Denpasar International Airport and fly themselves two thousand miles to the city of Hanoi in Northern Vietnam. Dave and Connor, who arrived at the previous two Pit Stops in first place despite Dave's foot injury (sustained in Leg 2), decided that when they reached Hanoi they would proceed directly to the Pit Stop and face elimination. This is precisely what happened. They became the fourth team eliminated from the race. This is particularly notable because with the elimination of John and Jessica in the previous leg, it was a relatively short game for those who started with Express Passes.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [2]

Answer: Christchurch

Heading out from Motu Tapu, Bora Bora in the morning, teams were told to head to the airport in Bora Bora to catch a flight back to Papeete, Tahiti. Once there, they would need to take another flight connecting in Auckland going to Christchurch, New Zealand, Phil Keoghan's hometown. Since teams could not receive flights to Christchurch until they reached Auckland, they had to wait until the following day to book tickets; only Pam and Winnie, the last team to leave the Pit Stop, got on the first flight out. Five teams took the second, two were on the third, and one ended up on the final flight.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [1]

Answer: Griffith Observatory

This season eleven teams hiked up to their starting line atop Griffith Observatory. Here, Phil warned the teams that there would be twists ahead and a first task which would take their breath away. In addition, there would be a second Express Pass won by the winner of the first leg which could be given to a team of their choice by Leg 4. When Phil gave the go-ahead, teams would be able to run down the stairs to their bags, collect their belonging, and hop into new Ford Fusion cars to head to LAX. The first ones there would get on the earlier flight to their first international destination.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 22"

Answer: Chuck and Wynona

After camping overnight and driving a jetboat through the Rakaia River Gorge on the South Island of New Zealand, teams had to take ATVs to one of two Detour tasks. In 'Rev It Up', both members had to drive a modified vintage car across a course marked set of cones in under a combined total of eighty-three seconds. Jessica and John, Joey and Meghan, Max and Katie, Pam and Winnie, Mona and Beth, Caroline and Jennifer, and Anthony and Bates went for this one. Chuck and Wynona completed 'Reel It In' in which they had to use a rod and reel and catch a single fish at least twelve inches long. Dave and Connor, unable to complete the former due to Dave's injury and unwilling to wait out the latter, used the Express Pass gifted to them by Jessica and John to skip both.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [6]

Answer: Jennifer

In Northern Ireland, teams were required to drive themselves to Peatlands Park in their Ford Fiesta vehicles. Upon arriving they found the Road Block task awaiting them. For this one, both team members had to take a ride on a small train and then the selected racer had to suit up in snorkel gear and go bog-snorkeling, literally jumping into the mud and swimming around. If the racers could complete the course in four minutes or less they would be able to get their next clue. Anthony, Katie, and Mona all finished on their first try while Jennifer took three attempts to finish.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [5]

Answer: Brandenburg Gate

Leaving Dresden, teams had to drive one hundred kilometers to the city of Berlin, Germany's capital, to find a route marker waiting at the Brandenburg Gate. Once there they had to make their way to the Park Inn Berlin, take the elevator to the rooftop, and perform a BASE jump 125m off the roof of the city's tallest building. Only when both members completed this face-first drop would they be able to continue racing through the city.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [2]

Answer: Dave and Connor

Heading to Papeete, Dave and Connor were instructed to go to a local hospital to get a sonogram for Dave's foot; heading to the Pit Stop in the previous leg of the race, he pulled and tore his Achilles Heel. He was told that the injury would worsen if he continued to race, but, after receiving a boot, they both decided to keep going. At the airport in Bora Bora, John and Jessica opted to hand over their second Express Pass as per their original alliance agreement. Landing in New Zealand, surprisingly, the injured father an son managed to keep up.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [1]

Answer: Bora Bora

Hopping into their new Ford vehicles, teams raced to LAX to catch a ride on the first possible flight to the island of Tahiti and, once there, they would connect on a flight to the tropical paradise of Bora Bora. The first five teams, arriving in the city of Papeete, vowed to work together and give the second Express Pass to the first runner-up out of fairness. Only time would tell if teams would keep their word. Upon touching down in Bora Bora, teams were able to locate their first cluebox on the beach next to the runway.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 22"

Answer: Bora Bora

In Leg 4, teams had to find a coastal surf shop on Uluwatu Beach and search through the shop's wares to locate one with a sticker featuring something seen by all of the teams at some point on the race (it was the image of the Tahitian priest that blessed the teams in Bora Bora). When found, they could proceed on food to the next Pit Stop along the cliffs next to Uluwatu Temple. If they got the wrong board, they would have to go back and try again. Winnie, Connor, Max, Caroline, Chuck, Joey, Mona, Bates, and John were all selected for this one.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [6]

Answer: Titanic & The Titanic

After completing the Road Block teams had to drive into Belfast to find the Beacon of Hope statue and it was there that they located their Detour task. For this one, the teams chose between 'Tray It' and 'Spray It'. In 'Tray It' they needed to go to the Titanic Dock and Pump House in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast and serve a five-course meal as would be served on the famous ocean liner. This proved difficult for many teams as they needed to identify dishes, locate their menus, serve the courses to the right people, and transport everything down several flights of stairs to a tent in the dry dock proper. Max and Katie, Bates and Anthony, and Mona and Beth completed this task.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [2]

Answer: Chuck and Wynona

Heading out of Christchurch, teams needed to drive themselves to the Rakaia River Gorge. Once there, they needed to take a number for a proceeding jet boat tour, but only after a night's stay, camping out next to the river. At 6:00am, teams could receive their Detour task, a choice between 'Rev It Up' and 'Reel It In'. For both, they needed to navigate ATVs to the Detour site. In 'Rev It Up', teams needed to drive modded, manual vintage cars around a series of cones. If both team members could combine their times and complete the course in under eighty-three seconds, they could continue. In 'Reel It In', teams needed to head to the lake and catch one fish each, twelve inches in length. Only Chuck and Wynona completed the latter task. To avoid taking too much time, Dave and Connor used their newly-acquired Express Pass to skip the Detour.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [1]

Answer: Skydiving

As soon as teams touched down and opened their first clues, they were confronted with a daring Road Block task. Signing up for rides on a helicopter (two people at a time), they would rise ten thousand feet over the island and perform a tandem skydive. Upon landing they would receive their next clue and their partner would be waiting for them on the island of Anau. The jumpers included Winnie, Jamil, John, Connor, Chuck, Anthony, Caroline, Mona, Max, Matt, and Meghan. In an odd twist, Mona, one of the participants from the second flight, ended up accidentally signing up on the last flight even though she was at the sign-up board earlier.

From Quiz Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 22"

Answer: Dave and Connor

In Leg 5, teams flew to Hanoi, Vietnam to find Gallery 42 of Rap Cong Nhan Theater. There, onw person from each team needed to watch a performance of a patriotic Vietnamese song. At the end, dancers would reveal a nine-word Vietnamese phrase translating to 'Glory to our young generation'. Then they needed to find a political poster featuring their quote in a nearby gallery, having only five minutes to do so before needing to watch the performance again. Jennifer, Meghan, Pam, Anthony, Beth, Katie, and Chuck were selected for this task. Neither Dave nor Connor attempted this one as they eliminated themselves at the start of the leg.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 22"

Answer: Meghan and Joey

During Leg 5, teams had to complete a Detour before heading to the B-52 Memorial in Hanoi, Vietnam. Upon arriving, they encountered the race's first U-Turn, specifically a Blind Double U-Turn. For this, Pam and Winnie U-Turned Joey and Meghan who, in turn, U-Turned Chuck and Wynona. Joey and Meghan originally completed a Chinese chess-related Detour at the Temple of Literature called 'Make Your Move'. The U-Turn forced them to complete 'Make Your Meal' as well in which they had to accumulate ingredients at a local market to make two bowls of pho ga. Chuck and Wynona did the reverse.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [6]

Answer: A skate park

Teams not opting to serve up some courses at the Titanic dry dock ended up traveling to the T13 Skatepark in Belfast where they had to obtain a photograph of half a piece of graffiti art. They then had to replicate it with spray paint, completing a local artist's work to receive their clue. Only when it was done to the approval of the artist would they be able to continue on. Only Caroline and Jennifer ended up completing this Detour option before heading to the Pit Stop.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [4]

Answer: Ten

At the Royal Tree Lodge Game Preserve, teams opened the Detour clue to find a choice between 'Brains' and 'Brawn'. In 'Brains', teams rode horseback on a lengthy course to locate ten different animal silhouettes on their marked route. At the end they needed to use ten tiles (of many) to record the correct order as seen. If they got the sequence wrong they would need to start the whole thing over. Only Chuck and Wynona finished this one. In 'Brawn', teams had to load a device up with firewood, then have it drawn through the forest to a clearing by a pair of stubborn donkeys. Mona and Beth, Caroline and Jennifer, Joey and Meghan, Max and Katie, and Pam and Winnie did this one despite struggles.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [3]

Answer: Mona and Beth

After the Detour task, teams proceeded by taxi to the site of a downed B-52 bomber in Hữu Tiệp Lake. Here, they encountered a Blind Double U-Turn, which would allow two teams force two other teams to complete the side of the Detour they did not attempt. Pam and Winnie used this mechanic to turn around Joey and Meghan (who had to complete 'Make Your Meal'). Next to arrive, Joey and Meghan, in an attempt to stay ahead of another team, opted to U-Turn Chuck and Wynona, forcing them to complete 'Make Your Move' even though they were already at the back of the pack.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [2]

Answer: Twelve

After the Detour, teams ended up driving themselves to the next route marker at Mt. Hutt Station. This was the Road Block. For this task, one member of each team had to jump into a 'Schmozzle Race', a pastime involving dressing up in gumboots, scubbies, and a burlap sack, then taking a shepherd and a farmdog through a confusing course of molasses, feathers, slip'n'slides, and smelly bogwater collecting chicken eggs along the way. When they delivered twelve eggs they could get their next clue. Connor, John, Winnie, Chuck, Jennifer, Meghan, Mona, Anthony, and Katie completed this task.

From Quiz Detours of "The Amazing Race 22"

Answer: Catch it

After a Road Block accompanied by Kalahari bushmen, the racers were told to continue on with the locals for one of two Detour choices. In 'Fire', teams had to walk to a nearby campsite and use two sticks, zebra manure, and grass to make a fire with which they could light a tribal pipe. In 'Fowl', teams went hunting by constructing and setting a trap normally used to catch guinea fowl. Once they sprung the trap properly they could get their next clue. Only Anthony and Bates completed 'Fire'; most teams switched to 'Fowl'. Following the Detour, teams proceeded on foot to the nearby Pit Stop at a safari camp.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [6]

Answer: Caroline and Jennifer

After the Detour task, teams were told to drive and then race into the final Pit Stop of the race, Ulster Hall in Belfast. Once inside they would be greeted by Phil and a group of Celtic dancers. Max and Katie narrowly outraced Bates and Anthony to another first place win (their third in a row) and ended up receiving a trip to the Dominican Republic courtesy of Travelocity. The two teams were followed by Mona and Beth who rounded out the finalists heading to the last city. Caroline and Jennifer were unable to regain their footing after the Road Block and became the final eliminated team.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [5]

Answer: Mona and Beth

After the Road Block, teams were told to drive to the next Pit Stop, Joachimstaler Platz at Kurfürstendamm. Max and Katie, who held onto a strong lead throughout the entire leg, ended up getting to the mat in first place for the first time this race (breaking Bates and Anthony's three-win streak). For their victory they both won Ford Fusion vehicles. In the end it was a footrace between Bates and Anthony and Mona and Beth. Despite the girls leading their opponents to the mat they were unable to reach it first. They were, however, spared in the race's final non-elimination leg.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [4]

Answer: Pam and Winnie

After the Detour teams proceeded on foot to the nearby Pit Stop in the Royal Tree Lodge Game Preserve. Anthony and Bates, who claimed the Fast Forward clue, ended up placing first and won $7,500 each in their third win of the race. As the other teams, marred by other issues in the leg, ended up checking in, typical front-runners Pam and Winnie (the only other team remaining to that point with a first place win) ended up failing the 'Brains' task several times (missing one silhouette en route) and were eliminated upon checking in.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [3]

Answer: Chuck and Wynona

After finishing up at Hữu Tiệp Lake, teams needed to go to their next Pit Stop at the National Museum of Vietnamese History. Pam and Winnie, who stayed up front the entire leg, ended up landing on the mat first and won their first leg of the race. For placing first, they won a trip for two to Whistler, B.C., Canada courtesy of Travelocity. The last team to arrive was Chuck and Wynona who ended up being forced to complete both Detour options. Luckily for them, since Dave and Connor opted to drop out of the race, they were spared and were considered to arrive in second-to-last place.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [2]

Answer: Dave and Connor

After the Road Block, teams were told to head to Pit Stop at Terrace Downs, a world-renowned adventure retreat in Windwhistle, New Zealand. After using the Express Pass, Dave and Connor stayed in the lead, despite injury, to meet Phil's dad (and dog) and receive a prize from Travelocity-- a trip for two to Bangkok (including, ironically, kickboxing lessons). They, and everyone else, were surprised to discover that their race had not ended; they all received their next clues and Leg 4 had begun. The last team to arrive, Chuck and Wynona, were not told that they would encounter a Speed Bump task in the proceeding leg of the race. They were not eliminated.

From Quiz "The Amazing Race 22" [1]

Answer: Matt and Daniel

After the second Road Block, teams needed to run down the beach and assemble outrigger canoes (known as va'as) to take them one mile to the Pit Stop at the Motu Cafe. The winners of this first leg were Jessica and John who ended up winning themselves the Express Passes, one of which would need to be given to another team of their choice before the end of Leg 4. After quitting the second Road Block, Max and Katie, Caroline and Jennifer, and Matt and Daniel raced to the Pit Stop to avoid last place. They arrived in that order and Matt and Daniel became the first team to be eliminated from the race.
