In, I believe, Amazing Race 1, one of the teams was 24 hours behind another.
And in another early season, a team of two grandmas thought it would be smart to fly to Johannesburg via New York City and ended up two days behind.
I've been watching some of the older seasons and they're super entertaining. In the one I just watched, Amazing Race 15, one of the teams was clearly given a bit of a boost. With three teams left, the first two checked in at 11 PM and midnight. When the third team checked in, the sun had already risen and it was in Prague so probably 6 AM at the earliest.
But the next day (final leg), team 1 departed at 11 AM, team 2 12 PM and team 3... 3 PM. The flight was at 6 PM so clearly they didn't want a final leg that was a two-horse race.
The funny part was that third team, while aided there, was screwed on the final challenge and were awarded $300K due to the judges' screw-up.
