After the anemic ratings for The Amazing Race 4, CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves doubted whether the series would be renewed for another season.{{cite web|url=http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1450|title="CBS says 'The Amazing Race' series may end due to low ratings"|author=Paulsen, Wade|publisher=Reality TV World|date=2003-07-24|accessdate=2007-12-29}} After much deliberation, CBS officially ordered a fifth installment of the Race in September 2003. Some observers cited the series' recent Emmy win as the factor behind its renewal.{{cite web|url=http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/cbs-finally-oks-fifth-edition-of-the-amazing-race-1810.php|title="CBS finally OKs fifth edition of 'The Amazing Race'"|author=Paulsen, Wade|publisher=Reality TV World|date=2003-09-29|accessdate=2007-12-29}} While CBS flirted with the idea of a fall premiere, it ultimately gave Season 5 a summer broadcast to create momentum for The Amazing Race 6 on the fall schedule.{{cite web|url=http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/cbs-keeps-the-amazing-race-5-on-summer-schedule-changes-fall-airtime-of-race-6-2600.php|title="CBS keeps 'The Amazing Race 5' on summer schedule, changes fall airtime of 'Race 6'"|author=Paulsen, Wade|publisher=Reality TV World|date=2004-06-23|accessdate=2007-12-29}}
This season introduced two major twists to the Race: the Yield and a non-elimination penalty.{{cite web|url=http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/the_amazing_race_5/2004_Apr_06_new_twists_plus_alison|title="Amazing Race 5 adds new game twists and Big Brother 4 cast member."|author=Dehnart, Andy|publisher=Reality Blurred|date=2004-04-06|accessdate=2007-12-29}} The Yield allowed one team to force another team to stop racing for a predetermined amount of time. The Yield was available on each leg, though it was not presented on each episode. The non-elimination penalty meant teams finishing last on non-elimination legs were penalized by being stripped of any money they had accumulated. In addition, they received no money at the start of the next leg. This was also the first season to see the number of Fast Forwards reduced; only two were available in the entire Race.{{cite web|url=http://www.tarflies.com/article.php?_f=detail&id=29#trules7|title="Why did production reduce the number of Fast Forwards so drastically?"|publisher=TARFlies|accessdate=2007-12-29}}
The Amazing Race 5 lasted 31–32 days and traveled 72,000 miles. This season is making the longest race route ever with six visited continents, and is so far the only season to traveled amongst all seasons so far. The teams raced in twelve countries, two were previously visited. The new countries were Uruguay, Argentina, Russia, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates, Philippines and Canada. Also for the first time, the final leg had an intermediate destination in a foreign country.
During pre-show, production moved the Dubai legs of the race from the originally planned location of Istanbul, Turkey. The reason for this decision has not been disclosed. Istanbul was eventually visited by the Race two seasons later.
Marshall and Lance were the first team in Amazing Race history to quit. Marshall was suffering from a knee injury in the Roadblock in Luxor, Egypt, on Leg 6 and the team arrived at the task site after all others had left. They decided to give up. After their elimination, this season marked the most amount of females remaining in the race.
Two challenges were edited out of the program since they did not affect team placement. The first was a nut finding Roadblock in the markets of Dubai; the second, a tipi building challenge in Banff, Alberta http://hasbrouck.org/blog/archives/000376.html.
=Cast=
Applications were due on October 8, 2003. Filming began on January 30, 2004 and finished on February 27, 2004.{{cite web|url=http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1741|title=CBS begins accepting applications for 'The Amazing Race 5'|publisher=Reality TV World|last=Rogers|first=Steve|date=2003-9-15|accessdate=2010-4-25}}
This season was decreased to 11 teams since season 2. They featured a military man, dating widowed couple, female twins, former Big Brother 4 contestant, a team member with dwarfism and bunch of beauty pageant queens.
Chip portrayed a young Muhammad Ali in the 1977 film The Greatest (Ali portrayed the adult version of himself). Alison of CBS's Big Brother 4 was the first contestant on a previously aired reality show to take part in this race. Erika, Alison, Nicole and Christie competed against one another in various beauty pageants. Christie was a former Miss Teen USA champion, while Nicole was the winner of Miss Texas USA.
Charla & Mirna returned to participate in The Amazing Race All-Stars. Lance & Marshall sent them a letter in the mail-sorting Roadblock on Leg 4, where they called Charla & Mirna annoying in every language they knew, and hoped they would be eliminated very soon. Colin & Christie were proposed on The Early Show and they later expected to be on that season, they declined due to Christie's pregnancy. Erika became a producer with the show and was on-hand during the Season 12 open casting call in Cabazon, CA. Alison later appeared on Big Brother: All Stars and was the first person voted out.
The show also featured Natalia Rodriguez Lassiy, Miss Uruguay who competed in Miss World 2003, welcomed the teams at Uruguay pit stop and Luli Arroyo, the daughter of then-Philippine president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as the local greeter at Manila pit stop.
