At the first destination, Hong Kong, teams encounter their first surprise twist of the season forcing them to choose which direction and route they want to take to the Pit Stop, creating two parallel races where two teams will be eliminated.

Teams depart for Osaka, Japan, where they encounter an Intersection at the Roadblock, forcing one partner to team up with a member of another team and complete a challenge performing the taiko drums.

Racers travel to Bali, Indonesia, where the first team to arrive at the "driver's seat" board must make a difficult decision that impacts the outcome of the Roadblock and the game.

The stakes are high at the Roadblock! Racers must play the ancient Japanese game of kemari and the first team with both members to successfully complete the game will win the express pass.

Host Phil Keoghan shocks the teams when he announces a surprise double U-Turn where teams must cast their vote live, and the two teams with the most votes are required to complete both detours.

Racers skydive over the city of Dubai, and one team will win the classic game piece the Fast Forward, allowing them to skip all remaining tasks and head straight to the Pit Stop.
