We’re back with the first episode of The Amazing Race 18: Unfinished Business!
11 teams are back to grab the second chance in winning the million dollars. So what happened on the first episode?
First Task
Before receiving their first clue, teams had to search through hundreds of paper airplanes for one airplane that matched the clue “Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services” (the full name of Qantas Airways), and return it to Phil to receive the clue and tickets. The first eight teams to would be on a flight that left LAX for SYD 90 minutes before the last 3 teams. The last team to find the correct airplane would also be penalized by having to perform a U-Turn sometime during the Leg.
Kris and Amanda finished the task last so they need to perform the two tasks on the next detour.
Roadblock
In the first Roadblock of the season, one team member had to scuba dive in the Oceanworld shark and ray tank and search the tank for a compass. The compass included a guide to read a series of nautical flags outside which told them to go to the Manly 16ft Skiff Sailing Club, find the Commodore, and tell him the passphrase “I am between the Devil and the deep blue sea” to receive their next clue.
At the sailing club, teams had to join a sailing crew and ride a 16ft Skiff through a race course to a series of buoys that had their next clue. Then the clue tells them to go to Shelly Beach for the first Pit Stop.
Gary & Mallory arrived first and they got the Express Pass, this pass is so relevant that it can be used to automatically finish any task in the future. Kind of an advantage huh!
However, the leg doesn’t end there as Phil gave them another clue to continue the race.
My favorites are Jen & Kisha, and Ron & Christina. Who are yours?
