Production

After the anemic ratings for The Amazing Race 4, CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves doubted whether the series would be renewed for another season. <ref name="Series may end"> Paulsen, Wade 




.    "CBS says 'The Amazing Race' series may end due to low ratings" 
. Reality TV World

. Retrieved on 2007-12-29. </ref> After much deliberation, CBS officially ordered a fifth installment of the Race in September 2003. Some observers cited the series' recent Emmy win was responsible for its renewal. <ref name="OK"> Paulsen, Wade 




.    "CBS finally OKs fifth edition of 'The Amazing Race'" 
. Reality TV World

. Retrieved on 2007-12-29. </ref> While CBS flirted with the idea of a fall premiere, it ultimately gave Season 5 a summer broadcast to create momentum for The Amazing Race 6 on the fall schedule. <ref name="Keep"> Paulsen, Wade

This season introduced two major twists to the Race: the Yield and a non-elimination penalty. <ref name="Twist"> Dehnart, Andy

. Reality Blurred

. Retrieved on 2007-12-29. </ref> The Yield allowed one team to force another team to stop racing for a predetermined amount of time. The Yield was available on each leg, though it was not presented on each episode. The non-elimination penalty meant teams finishing last on non-elimination legs were penalized by being stripped of any money they had accumulated. In addition, they received no money at the start of the next leg. This was also the first season to see the number of Fast Forwards reduced; only two were available in the entire Race. <ref name="FF"> "Why did production reduce the number of Fast Forwards so drastically?"

Pre-Race

[modifier]

In-Race

  • Leg 1 is the first introduction of Yield.
  • Natalia Rodriguez Lassiy, Miss Uruguay who competed in Miss World 2003, welcomed the teams in the Pit Stop of Leg 1.
  • Nicole took 4 hours to complete the caviar challenge in Saint Petersburg in Leg 4.
  • Marshall and Lance were the first team in Amazing Race history to quit. Marshall was suffering from a knee injury in the Roadblock in Luxor, Egypt, on Leg 6 and the team arrived at the task site after all others had left. They decided to give up.
  • After Leg 6, Amazing Race 5 marks the most girls remaining on the show: nine.
  • The production moved the Dubai legs of the race from the originally planned location of Istanbul, Turkey. The reason for this decision has not been disclosed.
  • During the Detour of Leg 11, Colin in frustration of trying to steer an ox uttered "My ox is broken!" This saying has become a catchphrase for the Race, and inspired the title of the book "My Ox is Broken!: Detours, Roadblocks, Fast Forwards, and Other Great Moments from TV's 'The Amazing Race'" written by Adam-Troy Castro.
  • The woman that welcomed the teams in the Pit Stop of Leg 11 (Rotorua, New Zealand to Manila, Philippines) was Luli Arroyo, the daughter of the current Philippine president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
  • In Leg 12 where the teams are tasked to find the Philippine flag, the other two flags the teams chose were actually those of the Czech Republic and Equatorial Guinea, both similar in design to the Philippine flag.
  • The Road Block in Leg 12 caused problems for the only female, Karen. As a result, the last all female team got eliminated from the race. This was similar to Tian and Jaree's last Road Block from series 4 and as a result, future Road Blocks in seasons are to be divided evenly such that the male doesn't do most of the Road Blocks.
  • On the final leg (Leg 13), Colin ordered the limousine in Dallas by using a fake credit card number. Teams were only allowed to use their provided credit cards for purchasing airfare.
  • A tire blowout in Dallas on Colin and Christie's limousine was not shown in Leg 13. This mishap essentially prevented them from winning the race.
  • There were 36-hour pitstops in Leg 4; Leg 6; Leg 10 and Leg 12.
  • Season 5 holds the record for having visited all six continents The Amazing Race has visited, and is so far the only season to have accomplished this. It also has the longest distance travelled amongst all seasons so far.

The clam-hunting task in the Philippines, presented as a normal challenge, was originally one of two Detour choices.

  • Erika Shay is now a producer with the show and was on-hand during the Season 12 open casting call in Cabazon, CA.
  • Charla & Mirna were selected to race in The Amazing Race All-Stars. Lance & Marshall sent them a letter in the mail-sorting Roadblock on Leg 4, where they called Charla & Mirna annoying in every language they knew, and hoped they would be eliminated very soon. Mirna later said, "At least we're not fat-asses who quit!". The other letter Mirna didn't receive was from Linda and Karen.
