Team Up & Split Up Twist
Season 6 is the first season to feature the Team Up & Split Up Twist. Before the race began all 18 participants had to choose a partner for the race indicating for the 1st time in RJ's The Amazing Race history there would be teams of 2 running the race! This is true, however, it was only for 1 leg. Leg 1 results showed that it was not by team who was eliminated due to the number of inactive CROSS #2 people in the season. Instead if someone did not do Leg 1 they were eliminated and everyone began on an even playing field on Leg 2 but split up from their partners so they were in teams of 1.
