"The Amazing Race 1" [1] Trivia Quiz

Answer: New York City

Eleven teams got off of a bus in Central park and began their race around the world. After Phil Keoghan instructed teams to run up some nearby stairs to obtain their luggage and first clue, the teams departed.

Answer: South Africa

The first clue instructed teams to board one of three flights at JFK International Airport and fly to Johannesburg, South Africa where they'd receive their clue in the airport. Teams could take a South African flight, a Swiss flight, or an Italian Flight. Once there, teams boarded a second unknown flight to Zambia where yet again, their clue was outside the terminal.

Answer: Rob and Brennan

After receiving their clues, teams drove to the Knife's Edge at Victoria Falls to find their next clue. At the falls, teams were given the choice to receive the Fast Forward, which allowed the team who claimed it to skip all remaining tasks in that leg of the race and head directly to the Pit Stop.

Although David and Margaretta attempted to reach the Fast Forward in the 'Boiling Pot', Rob and Brennan narrowly defeated them. Meanwhile the teams headed to Bakota Gorge.

Answer: Ten

Although there are eleven teams, one team obtained the Fast Forward and skipped the task. The 'Air' task required teams to take a zipline across Bakota Gorge, then bungee jump to the bottom. The other task, which no one chose to complete, was called 'Land', and by choosing this task, teams would've had to walk to the clue in the canyon.

Answer: Matt and Ana

Rob and Brennan arrived first after receiving their Fast Forward, and they checked into the Pit Stop at Songwe Village long before the other teams. Matt and Ana pulled into the Pit Stop later into the night and became the first team eliminated from "The Amazing Race".

Answer: Near

During the Detour, teams had the choice between 'Near' and 'Far'. In 'Near', teams had to drive twenty miles to Mosi-Oa-Tunia Reserve and photograph three rare animals. In 'Far', teams had to drive ninety miles to a reserve in Botswana to photograph one elephant. All of the teams chose the 'Near' task.
After taking the pictures, teams had to drive to Mukumi Village and give the pictures to the leader of the village to receive their next clue.

Answer: Pat and Brenda

To claim the Fast Forward, Pat and Brenda needed to find the Bundu Adventurers and raft down the Zambezi River to find their clue. Once they received it, they could skip all tasks and go directly to the Pit Stop.

Answer: Paris

After giving the pictures to the tribal chief, he handed them a miniature statuette of the Eiffel Tower. Teams then boarded planes to Paris and received their next clue at the base of the tower.

Answer: Margarita

Teams received their first Road Block at the base of the Eiffel Tower. To complete it, one team member had to climb the stairs of the Eiffel Tower, use a Franc on a telescope and find a monument in Paris with a flag on it. Teams then had to go back down the stairs and head to the Pit Stop; The Arc de Triomphe.

Answer: Kim and Leslie

After an argument with their cab driver, the teams behind Kim and Leslie were able to sneak ahead and claim the remaining positions before they could arrive at the Pit Stop. Kim and Leslie were last to arrive and were eliminated from the race.
