Production

Development and filming

Teams began the third season of HaMerotz LaMillion at the Port of Haifa.

The bulk of filming for this season took place in January 2013. On 24 January 2013, the show was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. By 31 January 2013, teams had traveled to Las Vegas in the United States. The racecourse for this season included four continents and seven countries. At the start of the competition, two legs were run in Israel with the possibility of one team being eliminated in each leg. This season also incorporated two new twists with the Salvage Pass and the Double U-Turn. The Salvage Pass, which was previously seen in The Amazing Race Australia 2 and The Amazing Race Philippines 1, was awarded to the team that came in first on the second leg and gave that team the opportunity to save the team that came in last or receive a time advantage at the beginning of the third leg.

Two U-Turns this season were designated as Double U-Turns, in which the team that received the most votes for a U-Turn were given the opportunity to U-Turn another team. Leg 11 marks the first time in the franchise two Detours and a U-Turn were placed at the same leg; however, the U-Turn only applied for the first Detour.

Casting

In August 2012, Reshet began casting for a third season of HaMerotz LaMillion, with final applications due on 31 December 2012.

Cast

The cast for this season included married grandparents from New York and South Africa, friends from the Ezra youth movement, Port of Ashdod dock workers, and cousins of Persian descent. Coral previously dated Tom Kashty from the second season.
