List of episodes

The Amazing Race 22 is the twenty-second season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured eleven teams of two competing in a race around the world in order to win US$1,000,000. This season visited five continents and eleven countries and traveled over 30,000 miles (48,000 km). Starting in Los Angeles, racers traveled through French Polynesia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Botswana, Switzerland, Germany, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England before finishing in the National Capital Region. A new twist introduced in this season includes awarding the winners of the first leg two Express Passes, one for them and one to give to another team. The season premiered on CBS on February 17, 2013, and the two-hour season finale aired on May 5, 2013.[1][2]

Professional hockey players and brothers Bates Battaglia and Anthony Battaglia were the winners of this season, while newlyweds Max Bichler and Katie Kaczor-Bichler finished in second place, and roller derby moms Mona Hinman-Egender and Beth Bandimere finished in third place.

Production

Development and filming

Los Angeles's Griffith Observatory was the starting line for the 22nd Amazing Race.

Filming for this season took place between November 13, 2012, and December 7, 2012.[3] The route spanned 30,000 miles (48,000 km) through five different continents, with first-time visits to French Polynesia and Northern Ireland.

This season was broadcast in the mid-season of the 2012–13 TV schedule. In an interview with TV Guide, host Phil Keoghan revealed that the Double Your Money prize introduced in the previous season would not be included in season 22.[4] Instead, the twist this season was that the winners of the first leg were awarded two Express Passes: one for themselves and another that had to be given to another team before the end of Leg 4.[5]

Dave O'Leary tore his Achilles tendon near the end of the second leg. Though he and his son, Connor, continued to race for another two legs with Dave being forced to use a medical boot, crutches, and a wheelchair while in airports, they chose to withdraw from the competition at the start of the fifth leg after Dave was advised by his physician to have surgery on his ankle within two weeks of the original injury. Though Dave and Connor traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam, with the remaining teams, they did not participate in any tasks in that leg; instead, they went directly to the Pit Stop to be formally eliminated.[6] Dave returned to the United States in time to have the surgery the day before filming of the season was completed and was able to be at the finish line.[7] He and Connor returned to compete in season 24.

The final episode was dedicated to David Gene Gibbs, a member of the camera crew, who died in a helicopter crash while filming a series for Discovery Channel.[8]

  • Roadblock: "Who wants to get bogged down?" In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to participate in bog snorkeling. After donning full snorkeling gear, they had to cannonball into a muddy pool, and then swim one 100-yard (91 m) lap in the bog within four minutes in order to receive their next clue.
  • After the Roadblock, teams had to find "The Thing With a Ring", which they had to figure out was the Beacon of Hope sculpture in Thanksgiving Square and where they found their next clue.
  • Detour: Tray It or Spray It This season's final Detour was a choice between Tray It or Spray It. In Tray It, teams had to go to the drydock where the Titanic was built and serve the ship's last five-course dinner to a group of first-class passengers. Using the provided menu and a seating chart, teams had to choose the proper dishes for each course from a table full of plates and serve them to the passengers in the dining room. When the waiter was satisfied that each passenger received the correct dish for each course, the team was allowed to move on to the next course. Once all five courses were served correctly, teams received their next clue from a Captain Edward Smith impersonator. In Spray It, teams had to go to a skate park in a warehouse, where they had to finish half of a graffiti painting using a photograph as reference in order to receive their next clue.
  • Teams had to check in at the Pit Stop: Ulster Hall.

Episode summary
  • At the start of this leg, teams were instructed to travel by ferry to Birkenhead, England and then by train to London. Once there, teams had to make their way to the Euston Tap, where they each had to order a pint of beer before they were given their next clue, which instructed them to fly to Washington, D.C.
  • After arriving in Washington, D.C., teams had to find the location where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech: the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Teams were directed to 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue, where they were escorted by "Secret Service agents" who told them that they were to have their photograph taken with President Barack Obama. In reality, they were taken to a souvenir photography studio where they posed for a photograph in which their face was superimposed meeting President Obama with their next clue printed on the back. Teams then traveled to the Tidal Basin, where they had to search for a marked car near the paddleboat docks. After knocking on the rear window, the car's occupant gave them a briefcase along with their next clue.
  • Roadblock: "Who's ready for some covert ops?" This season's final Roadblock was a Switchback from season 8. One team member had to take the briefcase and find one of fifty "spies" around the Tidal Basin who responded to their given code phrase with another supplied code phrase – Max: "Where can I get a good half-smoke with chili?" ("I've heard there's a great place on U Street."); Bates: "I did not dress warm enough for this weather." ("Perhaps you would like to borrow my gloves."); Beth: "The cherry blossoms are beautiful here in April." ("I'll have to bring my mother next spring."). They then swapped briefcases with the spy, who told them that the combination to open their new briefcase was their final placement in New Zealand (Leg 3), Indonesia (Leg 4), and Vietnam (Leg 5). After they unlocked their briefcase, they could retrieve their next clue inside.
  • After the Roadblock, teams were instructed to travel to "The Home of the Nats": Nationals Park. There, one team member had to ride a zip-line across the stadium and toss a baseball while their partner, dressed as a baseball, attempted to catch it. Once they successfully caught the ball, they could see that it had "Hains Point" written on it, which was their next destination. There, one team member had to enter a giant ball pit filled with globes and find ten globes marked with the countries that they visited on the race (excluding England). They had to pass the globes to their partner, who placed the globes in chronological order. Once they had all of their globes in the correct order, a giant globe opened, revealing the teams' final clue. Teams were instructed to travel to "The Home of the First President", which they had to figure out was the home of George Washington: Mount Vernon.

Additional notes
  • At Nationals Park, after the team member on the ground caught the ball, they had to toss the ball to a pitcher, who then pitched it to a batter, who hit it into the outfield. The team member on the ground had to then retrieve the ball before reuniting with their partner. This aspect of the task was unaired.[14]
  • Legs 11 and 12 aired back-to-back as a special two-hour episode.

Reception

Critical response

The Amazing Race 22 receive mixed-to-negative reviews. Daniel Fienberg of HitFix wrote that "this wasn't an awful 'Amazing Race' season, but it was a season without a grand, building narrative."[15] Scott Von Doviak of The A.V. Club wrote that "it really isn't [amazing] and hasn't been for a long time. It's just coasting along on inertia at this point, and apparently Bertram van Munster and company don't feel the need to shake it up much at all."[16] Michael Hewitt of the Orange County Register was positive during the early part of the season but negative towards the end saying that the disappointing finish was "spoiling what had been a competitive revival for the show."[17] In 2016, this season was ranked 20th out of the first 27 seasons by the Rob Has a Podcast Amazing Race correspondents.[18]

Controversy

The episode in Hanoi sparked ire among some conservative media analysts and viewers for the tasks involving a performance of a communist propaganda song and the brief visit to a B-52 bomber that was shot down by North Vietnamese forces during the Vietnam War and turned into a memorial for communist Vietnam's victory. Complaints came in from sources such as the national commanders of the American Legion[19] and VFW,[20] and Democratic strategist and Fox News pundit Bob Beckel also spoke of his disgust at the program's choices.[21] Yahoo! later reported on comments from viewers found on Twitter whose complaints ranged from threatening to no longer watch the series or statements that the episode was "strange" or "disrespectful to Americans killed [in Vietnam]".[22]

Prior to the start of the episode for leg 6, CBS aired an apology, noting that portions of the previous episode were insensitive to U.S. Armed Forces veterans. The message, read by host Phil Keoghan, stated:

"Parts of last Sunday's episode, filmed in Vietnam, were insensitive to a group that is very important to us – our nation's veterans. We want to apologize to veterans – particularly those who served in Vietnam – as well as to their families and any viewers who were offended by the broadcast. All of us here have the most profound respect for the men and women who fight for our country."[23][24]
