* In Season 3, Zach and Flo escape elimination for the first time due to a non-elimination leg, and Flo lets loose some of the most heartfelt words about her teammate, about how he stayed positive no matter what despite her giving up. Even if she was seen as [[The Scrappy|one of the most useless and annoying people to have ever run the race]], these words were especially heart wrenching.
** [[Not So Different|Similarly]] to Flo, Ian was seen as somewhat of a blowhard during the Season 3. He constantly bickered with his wife Teri, but when they both won the penultimate leg, Ian recites some genuinely sweet words to Phil about her, saying that Teri was not only his [[Like an Old Married Couple|lover]], but his [[Vitriolic Best Buds|friend]].
Line 12:
** Even better: the episode where they won just happened to air on Mother's Day.
* In season 20, Bopper and Mark come in last, after Bopper had been talking about how he's on the Race to help his daughter, who has numerous health issues. It turns out to be a non-elimination leg, but before that's revealed, Art and JJ, who had just received $10,000 for finishing first, told him they'd share it with him.
* A few times over the course of the series, a team gets trapped in a Roadblock. In spite of best efforts, the challenging member just can't seem to clear it. Multiple times. [[Ten -Minute Retirement|There is talk of quitting (or at least taking the 4-hour skipping penalty).]] There are [[Rousing Speech|Rousing Speeches]] to not give up. And then, eventually, once he/she [[Determinator|finally clears it]], the nearby natives who had watched the whole thing ''cheer and give what looks a lot like a group hug''. That team, as expected, usually winds up coming in last, though if it turns out to be a non-elimination leg, it just makes it even more heartwarming.
* In season 2 of the Australian series, father and daughter team Ross and Tarryn won the first leg and with it, a salvage pass, which gave them the choice of an extra headstart on the next leg of 1 hour or saving the team who came last on that first leg from elimination. They chose to save the last team, sisters Lucy and Emilia. Cue tears, hugs and the sisters admitting they knew from the beginning that Ross and Tarryn were 'their kind of people' when they saw [[DaddysDaddy's Girl|Ross give his daughter a kiss right before the start of the race]].
