"The Amazing Race 9" [1] Trivia Quiz

Answer: Denver, Colorado

Eleven teams departed from the starting line at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, Colorado. When they opened their clues, they were instructed to fly to Sao Paolo, Brazil, where they would find their first clue on the rooftop of the Hotel Unique. To arrive in Sao Paolo, teams needed to race to the Denver Airport and book one of three flights. Three teams took the first flight, and four teams went onto the final two flights.

The first flight arrived second due to delays, while the second arrived five minutes earlier.

Answer: Wanda and Desiree

Teams arrived at the Hotel Unique to find their first clue. Teams were then instructed to travel by taxi for three miles to find a clue on the Viaduto Santa Efigenia. Wanda and Desiree were the first to arrive at the Hotel due to the delayed first flight, and Lisa and Joni arrived last. Once at their next destination, they would have to search the street for their clue.

Answer: Two

When teams reached their clue on the Viaduto Santa Efigenia, they received the Detour for this leg of the race. Teams could choose between 'Motorhead' and 'Rotorhead'. In 'Motorhead', teams needed to take a taxi half a mile to a local motorbike shop and assemble a motorcycle. Once they finish this, someone must be able to kickstart the bike. Teams choosing the 'Rotorhead' task had to go to a local hangar and locate a location that their helicopter could fly them to for a clue. Ray and Yolanda and Lake and Michelle were the only teams to complete the 'Motorhead' Detour task.

Answer: No

After receiving their Detour clue, teams had to travel to the neighbourhood of Santa Cecilia and find a certain warehouse. Once they performed in a ceremony and lit a white candle for good fortune, they could receive their next clue. Their next clue told the teams to travel by taxi for two and a half miles to the Pit Stop.

Answer: John and Scott

After their final clue, teams needed to travel by taxi to Pit Stop at Estadio de Pacaembu, a local soccer stadium. The first team to arrive was Eric and Jeremy. Since they were the first team to arrive in the first leg of the race, they won $10,000 each. The final team to arrive, John and Scott, were the first team to be eliminated from "The Amazing Race".

Answer: 8:00 am

Teams read their clue at Estadio de Pacaembu and found that they needed to head to Edificio Copan, only two and a half miles away to get their next clue. At Bloco F, teams found that they had to wait until 8:00 am before they could obtain their clues. By the time that the clue was available, all of the teams had arrived. The next clue gave teams the Road Block.

Answer: Three

In the Road Block, one team member from each team had to climb one of three large staircases to a station where they would need to rappel 400 feet. After this, teams would receive their clues. After this, teams needed to go to the bus station and find a time for a bus to Brotas, Brazil. There were three different buses to the location.

Answer: 1:15

After the Road Block, teams raced to the bus station to secure a ride to Brotas, Brazil, where they would receive their next clue. Once there, teams would have to get their clue off the hood of a Volkswagen Beetle and use it to drive to their Detour.
Three teams got onto the 10:15 bus and the 11:15 bus, and four took the final bus.

Answer: Three

In 'Press It', teams needed to travel to a nearby plantation and participate in a process to change raw sugar cane into Ethanol. They had to flatten it, then distill it to make 500mL of Ethanol and pour into their car. In 'Climb it' teams needed to climb a waterfall by completing a 90-foot rope climb using mechanical ascenders.
Only Dave and Lori, Wanda and Desiree, and Lisa and Joni completed the 'Press It' task.

Answer: Lisa and Joni

After the Detour, teams needed to travel twenty miles to the Pit Stop at a local plantation, Primavera de Serra. BJ and Tyler were the first to arrive, and because of this, they won a trip to Tahiti. Although Fran and Barry's car battery died on the way to the race, Lisa and Joni were unable to pull ahead and they were eliminated.
