'''''The Amazing Race 6''''' was the sixth installment of the popular [[reality television|reality]] [[television program|television series]] ''[[The Amazing Race]]''. It premiered on [[November 16]], [[2004]], and concluded on [[February 8]], [[2005]].
==Production==
===Development and Filming===
Filming began on [[August 13]], [[2004]] and finished on [[September 12]], [[2004]].
In May, 2004, CBS offictially ordered the sixth installment of the show, despite the fact that ''[[The Amazing Race 5]]'' hadn't even aired yet. The early renewal was likely due to the success of the changes made in Season 5.<ref name="Season 6 Greenlit">{{cite web|url=http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/cbs-orders-sixth-the-amazing-race-edition-2568.php|title="CBS orders sixth 'The Amazing Race' edition"|author=Rogers, Steve|publisher=Reality TV World|publishdate=2004-05-18|accessdate=2008-06-21}}</ref> CBS also delayed the airing of Season 6 until late in the fall, to create a "cool down" period between races, in the hopes that this would help continue the newfound ratings success.<ref name="Season 6 airing delayed">{{cite web|url=http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/cbs-delays-the-amazing-race-6-until-late-october-or-november-2887.php|title="CBS delays 'The Amazing Race' until late October or November"|author=Rogers, Steve|publisher=Reality TV World|publishdate=2004-09-14|accessdate=2008-06-21}}</ref>
In this installment of the show, the rules were changed so that no individual may perform more than 6 Roadblocks throughout the race. This Roadblock limit rule has been used in all subsequent seasons but the [[The Amazing Race 8|Family Edition]]. Also, only 3 legs had the Yield option available.
===Cast===
This season's cast included married pro-wrestlers, dating actors, Jewish high school buddies, engaged models, and a team of married entrepreneurs. The model and actor dominated cast was largely disappointing to viewers, especially when the "eye candy" teams made it farther in the race than the other teams.<ref name="Freddy & Kendra win race 6">{{cite web|url=http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/engaged-models-freddy-holliday-and-kendra-bentley-win-the-amazing-race-6-3236.php|title="Engaged Models Freddy Holliday and Kendra Bentley win 'The Amazing Race 6'"|author=Rogers, Steve|publisher=Reality TV World|publishdate=2005-02-09|accessdate=2008-06-21}}</ref>

==Notable race events==
[[Image:Seljalandsummer04.jpg|right|thumb|[[Seljalandsfoss]] waterfall in [[Iceland]], the teams' first destination]]
===General===
*This season featured many [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] themed challenges such as [[water polo]], [[Athletics (track and field)|track and field]], [[swimming]], and [[archery]]. The race also visited past Olympic cities including [[Oslo]], [[Stockholm]], and [[Berlin]]. This was due to the fact that the race was filmed during the same time as the [[2004 Summer Olympics]] in [[Athens]], [[Greece]].
*Season 6 was the first season to award first-place prizes on every leg.
===Pre-Race===
*Models Freddy & Kendra knew other models from previous editions of the race: Derek and Drew from [[The Amazing Race 3|Season 3]] and Kelly & Jon from [[The Amazing Race 4|Season 4]]. Freddy and Kendra actually used the same backpacks that Kelly & Jon used in Season 4.
*Don & Mary Jean were chosen for the race after an open casting call in [[San Diego, California|San Diego]].
*Victoria had a cameo appearance on [[Whose Line is it Anyway?]]
*[[The Early Show|Early Show]] hosts [[Harry Smith (television)|Harry Smith]] and [[Dave Price]] ran the first leg of the race (USA-Iceland) with the actual teams. This was for a special segment on their morning show.[http://www.cbsnews.com/elements/2004/11/19/earlyshow/videoarchive656660_0_1_page.shtml]
===In-Race===
*7 new countries were visited [[Iceland]], [[Norway]], [[Sweden]], [[Hungary]], [[Sri Lanka]], [[Ethiopia]] and [[Senegal]]
*Lena & Kristy were the third team to be eliminated by way of not being able to complete a roadblock (but not giving up); Phil told Lena & Kristy that the last team had checked in over 2 hours previous, and Lena still had not found the clue after rolling out 100 [[hay]]bales over the course of 8 hours.
*Aaron Goldschmidt of [[The Amazing Race 3|Season 3]] accidentally stumbled upon one of the Pit Stops while backpacking in Europe.
*There were 36 hour pit stops in [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]] (after Lena & Kristy were eliminated at the farm on the night); [[Budapest]], [[Hungary]]; [[Ethiopia]] and [[Xi'an]], [[People's Republic of China|China]].
*'''Leg 2''' featured the first task ever on ''The Amazing Race'' that required interteam cooperation. The ten teams had to split themselves into two groups of five, each of which had to row a Viking boat across a fjord to a marked dock with a clue box. The next time teams had to work together didn't come until the [[The Amazing Race 10|tenth season]], when a task called an "Intersection" required two teams to work together.
*In '''Leg 5''', one of the show's most controversial moments occurred at the Pit Stop when Jonathan, angry at his wife Victoria for running too slow, shoved her. He was modestly rebuked by Phil Keoghan at the mat.
*'''Leg 6''' was originally planned as two separate legs with the first leg being a non-elimination point (with the losing team being stripped of their money), but combined into one after producers realized that [[begging]] was prohibited in Hungary.
*In '''Leg 8''', the check-in mat was a [[tan (color)|tan]] colored mat made of cloth with a map of the world shown in black, instead of green.
*In '''Leg 11''', Hayden & Aaron arrived third, in front of Adam & Rebecca, but were eliminated because they had taken a four hour time penalty for not completing the roadblock. Both Rebecca and Hayden almost had to quit the roadblock because the last gondola down the mountain was about to leave. The task was to search approximately 3,000 locks and find the one that opened with a key they were given. At the last moment, when Hayden & Aaron decided to quit, Rebecca opened her lock.
*At the Pit Stop of '''Leg 11''', Aaron proposed to Hayden. She accepted.
===Post-Race===
*Post-game interviews suggested that Kris & Jon were less than a minute behind winners Freddy and Kendra before a [[train]] held them up at a railway crossing. At [http://thefishbowl.com thefishbowl.com], Bolo suggested that Kris & Jon were only 30-40 seconds behind Freddy & Kendra to the finish. At RealityReel, Kristy said that "Right after Freddy & Kendra started running, literally within 30 seconds or a minute later the train came, and Kris & Jon arrived. Otherwise it would have come down to a neck to neck race." This would be the Race's second closest finish ever, after [[The Amazing Race 2|Season 2]]. [http://realityreel.com/unscripted_reality_television_episode_summaries_modload-News-article-1033.htm]
*The trains that carried the teams in [[Sri Lanka]] and the town of [[Galle]] were heavily damaged by the [[tsunami]] caused by the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake]].
*Kristy Jensen (of Lena & Kristy) appeared in Disney's made for TV movie "[[Read It And Weep]]" as soap star Cadyn Christopher.
*After the controversy sparked by the shoving episode, Jonathan and Victoria appeared on a [[Dr Phil]] special to try and improve their marriage. Later in a celebrity version of the show [[Fear Factor]], Victoria attacked contestant [[Jon Dalton|Jon "Jonny Fairplay" Dalton]] (of ''[[Survivor: Pearl Islands]]''), and Jonathan attacked the host [[Joe Rogan]]. This resulted in their premature departure from the show.
*The Amazing Race 6 was one of the three seasons not represented in [[The Amazing Race: All-Stars]], the other two were The Amazing Race 4 and The Amazing Race 8: Family Edition. It is not clear, however, if TAR8 members were even considered for All-Stars because of the four-team structure of the teams; it is possible that a new two-person combination was considered along the lines of the Eric-Danielle team, but whether this was an option is unknown.
*Hayden & Aaron got married on [[April 21]], [[2007]]. Kristy was a bridesmaid, and Kris and Jon were present among the guests.<ref>[http://www.spokesmanreview.com/features/story.asp?ID=185736 SR.com: People: Race to the altar ends right here<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.
*Freddy & Kendra got married, and now have a child named Jaxson.
