Talk:The Amazing Race 3

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have Season 3 on divx... I'll end up expanding the location list after I finish seasons 1 and 2. --Madchester 01:17, 2005 May 12 (UTC)


The Roadblock in Singapore had teams run around some fountain (maybe the one in Suntec City) three times. Probably the easiest RB ever, and probably why the editors were wise not to air it. --Madchester 02:58, August 11, 2005 (UTC)


I'm 68.164.92.105 who did the 3 edits of Leg 3 on 23 Aug 2005, but unfortunately I overlooked the "Edit Summary" box on the edit page (though I was looking for something to serve that purpose), so I'll just note quickly the reasons for the changes here (in the hopes that it is appropriate to do so!):

  • Though the narration more than once refers to Dunnotar Castle (and nearby field) being "in the Highlands", none of Aberdeen, Stonehaven, and Dunnotar Castle are in either the geographic or cultural Highlands -- they're all firmly in the Lowlands on both counts. (BTW, I wonder if this is suitable for a trivia item?)
  • The road block was in a field within sight of Dunnotar Castle, not in Aberdeen. At least as televised, all they did in Aberdeen was get off the charter bus (at the bus station) and catch a taxi (at the train station, across the parking lot from the bus station), which then drove them the 15+ miles to Dunnotar Castle (just south of Stonehaven).

[edit] Mileage totals

Including the mileage isn't practical, since teams often take different routes along the race. The show only lists arbritrary distances between different locations. Teams often A) get lost or B) take different routes. Things get especially complicated with Fast Forwards and Detours, since their distances from the main race course are never specifically indicated. --Madchester 05:31, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Vito and Jill: married or not?

People keep adding information about John Vito and Jill being married. However, many posts on fan sites claim that they broke up. I can't find reliable evidence either way. I know Michael and Kathy did get married, but can someone know (with proof) whether John Vito and Jill got married? 128.230.13.89 18:52, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Backpacking question

TeckWiz asked the question:

Why would the pitstop from his season still be there if it was after the race. Should this say season 7?

Aaron from Season 3 (not the one from Season 6) stumbled upon one of the pitstops from Season 6 when backpacking through Europe. I think the info in the article is correct. 128.230.13.89 03:30, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leg 7

Is it really true to list Leg 7 as "Morocco→Germany→Austria→Germany→Austria→Germany" when really no team actually went out of and back into Austria? Wouldn't it make more sense to have "Morocco→Germany→Austria/Germany→Germany" or simply "Morocco→Germany→Austria→Germany" while having a footnote explaining the unique situation?

[edit] Spoilers

When I finish watching a season and watch the info on the page I assume the spoiler warning is about the season I just watched. I hated finding out information about the all-star season without warning inside the page. I think it should be edited out. And also, this is the same case for other seasons and perhaps other shows such as survivor. spoiler warnings should be more specific or people will assume it only spoils the issues that are related to the specific season they are reading about. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.179.78.129 (talk) 12:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC).
