LAST EDITED ON 06-14-05 AT 10:10 AM (EST)For those who missed it, TV Guide Channel aired a show titled "25 Things You Didn't Know About Reality TV".
The little known TAR facts mentioned were:
There is a rule that states the racers must always stay within 20 feet of their camera crew.
The crew total for one race totaled 2,104 people worldwide.
The money given at the start of each leg is actually calculated by the staff to get the racers from point to point. Sometimes they don't need all the money, and racers have been known to be very thrifty (read that as cheap).
Phil does not always get automatic upgrades on the planes, and often has to fly coach.
TAR plays tricks on the racers by padding the clue box with envelopes (either adding or removing envelopes when the racers arrive) just to throw them off.
"Sequesterville" is a wonderful place. Lynn and Alex said that losing was not so bad. Patrick was thrilled that they gave them 25 board games to pass the time. 
Oh yeah, Phil always gives the racers arriving at the pitstop mat his best "stone faced" stare, just so they won't know their finish order before hand. 
Phil said nothing about the deadly "eyebrow lift", however.
