Nurses who got engaged at their elimination. Throughout the race, Amber and Vinny were seen arguing and racing under pressure while remaining consistent and near the top of the pack. In the 2nd Dominican Republic leg, Amber and Vinny remained close with the other teams but arrived last at each destination. Their only chance to pass a team was when Ricky struggled with the Wind Surfing Roadblock, but Ricky and Cesar ended up beating the nurses to the Pit Stop by minutes which resulted in Amber and Vinny becoming the 10th and final team to be eliminated.

Danny tried to explain who Rihanna was, but couldn't name a single song of hers.

* TheGenerationGap / PopCulturalOsmosisFailure : As millennials who are only 26, Anthony and Bailey had no idea who Elizabeth Taylor was when they were tasked to find her home for the Pit Stop. This is probably due to Taylor being more associated and popular with older generations since her career was at its height in the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Best Friends/Firefighters. Throughout the race, Sunny and Bizzy have struggled poorly with navigation and directions which led them to finishing in the bottom of the pack. Even when they arrived at a challenge in last place, they were able to perform a comeback and find a way to survive. However, their luck ran out in Uruguay when they struggled to find a plaza in one part of Montevideo to the point where they misread the name of the plaza and ended up at a port. Their long time weakness of failing to navigate well resulted in them becoming the 7th team to be eliminated.

Girlfriends. Yvonne and Melissa spent the majority of the race in the middle of the pack and started on near-equal footing with the other teams in the Dominican Republic at the 1st Roadblock. However, Melissa struggled early on the Waterfall Carvings Roadblock and didn't completely follow Cesar's answers when he helped her. The girls were roughly ten minutes behind the other teams and caught up to them at the cacao farm, but by the time they were in the midst of the Cacao Grinding Route Info, the other teams were able to finish well ahead of them. Yvonne and Melissa then lost a close foot race to the Pit Stop to Amber and Vinny thus becoming the 9th team to be eliminated.
* BabiesEverAfter: After their elimination was shown, The Amazing Race showed off an after credits montage revealing that Yvonne and Melissa got married after filming was done and had a daughter.

Son. Danny and Angie were able to climb to the top of the pack with a 2nd place finish in Leg 7 in Uruguay and started ahead of most teams in Leg 8 in Barbados. While driving to a beach for the Detour, Danny and Angie's production crew got separated from them at a roundabout. Upon arriving at the beach, a producer told Danny and Angie that they could not enter the beach until the crew caught up thus putting them at the bottom of the pack. This controversial delay is what led to them becoming the 8th team to be eliminated.
