The Amazing Race's Phil Keoghan Details Production Protocol for Mid-Race Fender Benders
A lot of varying factors can come between The Amazing Race contestants and a million dollars. Fender benders on the road? Those are extremely high on that list.
In Thursday's Season 37 finale (read our recap here) Han and Holden suffered that exact fate while trying to navigate to Miami's Domino Park in the race's final leg. But we were curious! What is the exact protocol from a production standpoint when accidents happen on the road? And what about other vehicular laws that may vary from country to country?

According to host Phil Keoghan, teams are (obviously) supposed to abide by the local road rules and speed limits no matter where they are in the world. And they absolutely must stop and address any arising issue, no matter how much time it costs them.
'We make the teams accountable,' the host tells TVLine. 'If they get a speeding ticket, that's on them. We're not going to just pick up the bill and get them off the hook.'
The crew will also give teams verbal warnings if they see a driver speeding or if they feel unsafe with any particular driver.
'[It's] almost like you've got a policeman in the car saying, 'Hey, slow down,'' Keoghan adds. 'And then if they continue to do it, they'll get penalized. So they can have a double, meaning we can give them a penalty for exceeding the limit or if crew feels unsafe because of the driving practices. Then there's also police monitoring what's going on in the real world, and if in the real world, the police catch them speeding, then they're going to suffer the consequences.'
Luckily for the brother and sister duo, Holden's Spanish skills came in handy when they pulled over, as he was able to address the situation and appease the other driver. Despite getting back on the road within a reasonable amount of time, no amount of sly talk and begging could help them claim that first place spot (but you can read our Q&A with the Season 37 winners here).
Thoughts on Season 37, overall? We want to hear them, so light up that comments section!

Cameron Diaz's former assistant allowed a sneak peek into what it's like working for the actor. 'The Valley' cast member Janet Caperna, who previously worked for the star, talked briefly about her professional relationship with Diaz in an exclusive interview with Page Six. She recalled loving her job as part of the team that worked in various aspects of wine-related activities. Caperna worked for the actor's wine brand Avaline, which the 'Charlie's Angels' star co-founded with friend Katherine Power in 2020. Cameron Diaz's ex-assistant Janet Caperna had only good things to say about working with the actor on her wine brand, Avaline. In an exclusive interview with Page Six's 'Virtual Reali-Tea,' she recalled working for Diaz and Katherine Power's company and having a great experience. 'The Valley' star confessed that she 'loved' her role as part of the vino team. Given her work experience, Caperna revealed that she is still 'obsessed' with wine. The Bravolebrity further opened up about a 'small group' of fellow assistants in Los Angeles who frequently stay in touch. She noted that they help each other out, making their jobs relatively 'easier.' Cameron Diaz and her good friend, Katherine Power, co-founded the organic wine brand in 2020, launching it with two new products: Spanish white and French rosé wines. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar in 2022, the two pals recalled that they began the venture to bring an organic essence into wine, just like skincare and household products. Moreover, Diaz and Power took a trip to Europe to meet with winemakers and organic grape farmers to gain a deeper understanding of their vision. They reportedly started Avaline in 2020 amid the raging COVID-19 pandemic. Avaline continued to grow exponentially, with the brand making over $33.2 million in sales last year, according to a Forbes report. Over time, the company introduced several interesting products, including sparkling wines, red and white blends, and more. Originally reported by Varsha Narayanan on Reality Tea.

Outlander's Final Season: Everything We Know So Far
Warm up those bagpipes, because Outlander is about to start playing its swan song. Starz's time-travel drama will come to a conclusion with its upcoming eighth and final season, a 10-episode run that will bring the ballad of Jamie and Claire to its resting place. Which storylines from Diana Gabaldon's books will make the cut? Which characters (aside from Himself and Herself) will be back? And when the heck will we be able to watch it?! More from TVLine Power Book III: Raising Kanan to End With Season 5 - But Is This the Final Chapter for the Starz Franchise? Towards Zero Is Glamorous, Gorgeous and Sneakily Sexy - Here Are 5 Reasons to Check Out BritBox's New Agatha Christie Series Blood of My Blood: Summer Premiere Date Set for Outlander Prequel Series Outlander Cast Photos: Behind the Scenes View List Dinna fash, Sassenachs: We've filled the list below with all the available intel about Outlander Season 8. We'll update it the moment there's any news, so make sure to check back often. And once you've scrolled through, hit the comments with your thoughts/feelings/opinions/hopes for the show's last season! Outlander's final season does not yet have a premiere date, but we'll be sure to update this post as soon as Starz announces one. Some context: The bulk of Season 8 filming wrapped in September 2024, though several cast members filmed reshoots shortly after. And in March 2025, series star Sam Heughan announced via Instagram that he'd just finished 'the last ADR' (aka re-recording dialogue that wasn't captured clearly during filming) on the series finale. Yes, Season 8 will be the time-travel drama's final run of episodes. Starz announced the series' ending in January 2023. 'It's been an incredible journey,' Heughan said in a video released at the time of the announcement. 'Thank you so much for being with us since Day 1,' series star Caitríona Balfe added. Since its start, Outlander has covered roughly one book in Diana Gabaldon's novel series per season. So it reasons that Season 8 would follow the events of Book 8, Written in My Own Heart's Blood. However, given that Gabladon has published Book 9 (Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone) and is working on Book 10, there's a good chance Season 8 will include storylines from all of the above. Co-showrunner Matthew B. Roberts says the guidelines for Season 8 were 'Nothing that doesn't affect Jamie and Claire gets in. It's gotta affect Jamie and Claire. All the main characters do — they're a part of it — but that's the drive. There's so many aspects. I mean, they're all big books. There's things where you kind of go over here, and you go over here — that's what makes the books so readable and fun. But when you have 10 episodes, you have to stay literally on track.' One plot that is not in the novels but will be addressed at the top of the final season: The Season 7 finale cliffhanger of whether Claire and Jamie's daughter, Faith, somehow survived what we thought was her stillbirth in Season 2. Roberts promises that fans will have that point cleared up 'visually' in the upcoming season. On the MacKenzie side of things, might Brianna and Roger have another baby in Season 8, like they do in Go Tell the Bees? 'As you know, we sometimes stick to the books, and we sometimes don't,' Skelton told TVLine coyly in February. 'But I think it would be great if they had another child. And wearing the fake pregnancy bumps is super fun, so sign me up.' Though Starz has not yet released an official cast list, we have it on good authority that Heughan, Balfe, Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin, John Bell, Charles Vandervaart and David Berry will be back for the final season. Someone who won't return for the series' swan song is Kristen Atherton, who played Jamie's sister, Jenny, in Season 7. Though Jenny eventually joins her brother and his family in America in the novels, Roberts said time constraints meant making some tough cuts for Season 8. 'With 10 episodes,' he explained, 'there's a lot less you can do.' Along those lines, Tobias Menzies — who played Claire's husband, Frank, and his villainous forebear Jonathan 'Black Jack' Randall — also will not return, TVLine reported exclusively in March 2024. 'They're going to bring it home magnificently, I'm sure,' Menzies added. You'll be able to watch Outlander Season 8 on Starz and the Starz app. Starz has not yet released a trailer for Season 8. The moment that footage is available, we'll make sure to post it here. While you're waiting, entertain yourself with this behind-the-scenes video from our Season 7 TVLine x SheKnows cover shoot with Balfe, Heughan, Bell, Rankin and Skelton. You can find past seasons of Outlander on the Starz app and on-demand. Yes! The prequel Outlander: Blood of My Blood will premiere on Starz later this summer. For all the details on that series, which follows Jamie's and Claire's parents, make sure to check out our up-to-the-minute Everything We Know post. Outlander Season 8 will consist of 10 episodes.
