Hi guys!

Here is a sypnosis on what happened:
In this season, returning teams are racing the world AGAIN to race for one million dollars! I personally think that Jet & Cord should be winning, and I wish that Brook & Clarie would be running this season as they are enthu!
Anyway to see which teams are in this race, watch this video,

Here is the new twist of this season though, in this season, the last team to complete the starting task, will receive and AUTOMATIC U-TURN at the very first detour they encounter. ( this sucks!) Also, same like Season 17, the Express Pass would be awarded to the first team to check in the pit-stop.

Here is how the race went,

  1. Leg 1 (United States → Australia)  

    Starting point: Palm Springs California, USA (San Gerogina Wind Farm)

    Starting task: Find a airplane with the word" Qantas" on it

    First 8 teams on the first flight to Sydney, Australia, last 3 teams on the second flight to the Down Under, 90 minutes later ( that is so long!)

    All teams will fly to Australia from the USA

    At Australia,

    Travel: Take a subway to Circular Quay and a ferry to SeaWorld, Manly

    Roadblock: Go and dive into the aquarium filled with sharks & stingrays and find a compass, then they must decode the message written on it by looking at the flags, teams will have to decode a message which is: I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea

    Travel: Teams must sail a 16ft skiff and receive their next clue

    Pit Stop: Shelly Beach ( however this is a double-length leg and teams will continue racing, and Gary & Mallory is complaining!

    Here are the teams placing for this leg:
    1st-Gary & Mallory
    2nd-Amanda & Kris
    3rd-Kisha & Jen
    4th-Zev & Justin
    5th-Flight Time & Big Easy
    6th-Jamie & Cara
    7th-Margie & Luke
    8th-Ron & Christina
    9th-Mel & Mike
    10th-Kent & Vysin
    11th-?

    As for poor Jet & Cord, who is still struggling at the roadblock, nobody knows whether if they will be eliminated or not. So, stay tune to next week and find out!
