Phil is a Choo-Choo Charlie
Original Airdate: 12.28.2004
It's a combo of old and new as we get our first-ever Amazing Race clip show. Did you know Freddy & Kendra are habitual clue-losers? Or that Kris & Jon are even cooler then we thought? And guess whose faces are on IKEA's Most Wanted posters?

Meet the Teams
Original Airdate: 12.31.1969
Okay, so this really isn't an episode...it's just an excuse to get your pre-hate and pre-love going.
The Game's Afoot
Original Airdate: 11.16.2004
Go! Run! Fly! Drive! Drive! Wrestle! Drive! Drive some more! The teams race from Chicago to Iceland. First place goes to Hayden and Aaron. Joe and Avi are eliminated.
I'm Not His Wife — He Doesn't Need to Scream at Me.
Original Airdate: 11.23.2004
It's a race from Iceland to Norway. For some reason, racers have to team up to row boats. Nope, no forced bunching here. One of the weirdest penalties in race history can't save the remaining NY team.
Counting Bears is Not Rocket Science
Original Airdate: 11.30.2004
On the way from Norway to Sweden, two morning bunches are followed by five hours of bears and eight hours of hay — which turns out to be the last straw for Lena and Kristy.
What If It Isn't Sanitary?
Original Airdate: 12.07.2004
Smart teams race dumb and slow teams catch a break. It's a wacky ride from Sweden to Senegal. Kris and Jon manage to recover from huge mistakes while Don and Mary Jean come in last, but are saved by a surprise non-elimination.
Quit Following Us
Original Airdate: 12.14.2004
It's a wee bit of a history lesson tonight as we go from slavery in Dakar to the fall out of the Cold War in Berlin. Despite having to deal with "ghetto" conditions, Freddy and Kendra come in first. Don and Mary Jean? Diddled.
They Probably Should Have Some Counseling
Original Airdate: 12.21.2004
From Checkpoint Charlie to Budapest, Hungary, the racers sputter to a stop at an Internet Cafe. Who was eliminated? Well, no one. This leg ain't over with yet.
One of You, I'm Gonna Break in Half
Original Airdate: 01.04.2005
From Budapest to, well, Budapest, the Race finishes its first double leg. Lori & Bolo are so doomed, or are they? Freddy's gonna break someone in half, or is he? Jonathan yells at Victoria, or…oh yeah. He does. Good-bye Gus & Hera, we'll miss you.
Tell My Mom I Love Her
Original Airdate: 01.11.2005
And they're off — to Corsica. Adam suffers puffy humiliation, but he and Rebecca still manage to come in first thanks to the Fast Forward. Hayden flo's a cliff descent, but she and Aaron are saved by a non-elimination leg.
Are there Instructions on Donkey Handling?
Original Airdate: 01.18.2005
From Europe to Ethiopia, from constant annoyance to a righteous Philimination, the race picks up the pace. In between, we have begging (emotional and financial), mud-slinging (no, really), donkey wrangling and yielding.
It Always Comes Down to the Details
Original Airdate: 01.25.2005
After competing in an actual race, the Racers head to Sri Lanka and we are reminded of how much beauty and life the recent tsunami destroyed. It's a close finish, but in the end, the details out-wrestle Lori and Bolo.
You Deal With This Before I Hyperventilate
Original Airdate: 02.01.2005
The teams head to China. Kris & Jon are shanghaied by a series of cab drivers while Freddy & Kendra get yield revenge on Rebecca & Adam. In the end? It's all a set-up for the final leg as no one goes home yet.
4 Continents, 24 Cities, 40,000 Miles
Original Airdate: 02.08.2005
There was whining, crying, quitting and proposing. There was drama, tension, burping and an evil train. Halfway through, we lose Aaron & Hayden. The final outcome? Win: Freddy & Kendra. Place: Kris & Jon. Show: Adam & Rebecca.
