Story[]
Route Markers[]
The order of departure from Carcosa Seri Negara are as follows:
- Dustin & Kandice (12:28 am)
- Charla & Mirna (1:29 am)
- Eric & Danielle (1:50 am)
- Oswald & Danny (2:19 am)
Teams must fly to Hong Kong, China. Upon arrival, teams must take a taxi to Sun Wah Kiu Laundry at Hankow Road, where they would receive their next clue from the launder.
The Fast Forward instructions were given to them after receiving their clue at Sun Wah Kiu Laundry. Teams must travel 5 miles to a film set located at the former Kai Tak Airport, where a high-speed stunt was being filmed for an action movie. They must get into a car with a professional stunt driver and complete a stunt course, involving sharp turns and the car flipping over to skid up. After completing the stunt course, the team would win the Fast Forward. Oswald & Danny won the Fast Forward and had to bring the Travelocity roaming gnome found on the film set with them to the Pit Stop.
Choice A: Kung Fu Fighting
Teams must travel 5 miles to Tonkin Street and find the former Cheung Sha Wan Police Quarters. Once there, they must climb up an 11-story bamboo scaffold while avoiding an ongoing battle between stunt kung fu experts to reach the top and retrieve their next clue.
Charla & Mirna, Dustin & Kandice, and Eric & Danielle chose this task.
Choice B: Lost in Translation
Teams must make their way 4 miles to Kowloon City and find Nga Tsin Wai Road. Once there, they must search among hundreds of similar-looking store signs written in Chinese characters for the specific sign shown in a photo provided in their clue. When they have matched the photo with the correct store sign, the owner would hand them their next clue.
Teams must take the Star Ferry to Hong Kong Island and find the former Kennedy Town Police Headquarters, where they would find their next clue.
"Who's ready to break down the barriers?"
The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must kick down doors in the former Kennedy Town Police Headquarters, and search the rooms behind the doors for their clue.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams must find marked cars and drive themselves to Victoria Park, where they must find a model boat on a pond and a Travelocity roaming gnome. They must balance the gnome on the model boat and pull the boat from one end of the pond to the other without having the gnome fall into the water in order to retrieve their next clue at the bottom of the boat. If the gnome falls into the water, they would have to start over. Teams must then carry the gnome for the remainder of the leg.
Teams must drive themselves to Happy Valley Racecourse to check in.
For coming in first, Oswald & Danny won a trip to Hong Kong during Chinese New Year provided by Travelocity.
For coming in last place, Eric & Danielle are "marked for elimination". If they do not arrive first in the next leg, they would be assessed a 30-minute penalty.Leaderboard[]
