Eleven teams of two people travel from the Coliseum in Los Angeles, California to Salvador, Brazil.

The seven remaining teams travel from Te Puke, New Zealand to Siem Reap, Cambodia. One team find themselves in trouble with the law on the way to the airport. Another team's catty behavior grates on the nerves of some other teams.

The six teams remain in Delhi, India. A colourful Road Block proves to be no party for one person. While a Detour confounds teams who work on their own, two unlikely teams join forces to crack it.

The four teams remain in Moscow, Russia. One team makes an unprecedented mistake that could cost them the game.
