* TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: The distance between the three countries the characters travel in this episode is 5,000 kilometers. In real life, traveling this distance would take at least several days, and that's being generous. But, despite this, the journey seems to only take a few hours and the contestants stay neck-and-neck throughout the whole thing. Perhaps the most egregious case is when the contestants travel in boats from Tijuana beach to Hawaii in a minute (not a minute edited down for the audience, a minute ''in universe''), when that distance is a twenty hour plane ride in real life.
