Notes: 1: Leg 1 contained an unaired Roadblock. Only Lily, Katherine, Kylie, and Sun Bin are known to have performed this task. 2: Sun Bin & Hao Fei'er were unable to complete the secret code task and elected to take a 2-hour penalty. 3: A Lai & Jackie were unable to complete the puzzle task or the secret code task and elected to take two 2-hour penalties. When they arrived at the Lying Dragon Valley after all the other teams had checked in, Allan came to the location (Lying Dragon Valley) and eliminated them. 4: Matt, Rhett, Simon and Mary were unable to complete the Roadblock and elected to take a 2-hour penalty. 5: Summer & Eachan used their U-Turn power on Sun Bin & Hao Fei'er, who were ahead of them, thus had no effect. 6: Summer & Eachan arrived at the Pit Stop in 3rd place but withdrew due to family reasons. 7: Leg 9 was double-length, with two Detours and two Roadblocks, shown over two episodes. The placements listed in the first column reflect the order teams arrived at the leg's halfway point.
