ImANewUser Amazing Race 7 (also known as IANU AR All-Stars 1) is the 7th installment of the fictional series, ImANewUser Amazing Race. This season features sixteen teams, fifteen of which originally raced on the ImANewUser Amazing Race & one team consisting of two of the race's players, chosen to race again as "All-Stars".

Production

Development and Filming

The route spans approximately 55,000 miles. Previously unvisited countries include Cuba, Bolivia, Vatican City, France, Kenya, South Africa, Vietnam, Philippines & Australia. Italy, Russia, India, China and New Zealand were also visited. This is the second season to visit all 7 continents, making visits to the South Pole and Ross Dependency.

For the first time, the season featured pre-race legs. Three pre-race legs were planned, but only two were shown (a pre-race leg from Colorado to Alaska was canceled since a user quit).

For the first six legs, the sixteen teams were divided into vote-controlled and user-controlled teams.

In Leg 1, Mandy & Tiffany quit every task. They received enough penalties to put them in last. Ross & Paige did the same thing on Leg 3. The first three teams eliminated all came from Season 2.

Before starting Leg 8, teams tried to guess their next destination in order to get a time credit.

In a twist, no one was eliminated in Leg 13, making the final four teams race until the end for the first time in IANU AR history.

There was an extended Pit Stop on Leg 12.
