New preview from CBS

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/hiZf8AIgpsI" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/hiZf8AIgpsI</a>

In exotic Sri Lanka teams will spin it, fish it, sew it, and one team may lose it!
Don't miss the closest leg yet. The Amazing Race airs Sunday at 8/7c. Only CBS


Detour: Fishing or Spinning Plate?
RB: Sewing a shirt? Exactly the same task (and location?) as  TARA 4 and TARAus 1 RB? :lol: :res:

and let's see how 'close' this leg will be :lol:
By close, I think they mean close connections, alluding to Brenchel, as obviously it's not close.
The Roadblock appears to be identical to the ones in TARA and TARAus. I hope that they'll make it harder than the other RBs, maybe they could have to sew shirts, pants, etc?
Colombo is by the sea, so I don't think that they'll have to travel by train to the Detour.
I can't believe that it's yet ANOTHER leg in which Cowboys and Dave & Connor and first and second.

Next week's tasks look  :groan:

Fishing again? :res:

Sewing like TARA again? :res:

Oh my god, the spinning plates should at least be entertaining, or else...

I'll only look forward to Brenchel's Speed Bump and nothing else. What a leg design indeed :res:

Shouldn't be too hard to make the connection.

MI 341 arrived at Gate E1 (according to the preview) ten minutes early, at 10.25pm. SQ 468 left Gate F54 at 10.59pm, a little ahead of schedule. It's about a 570m/620yd run across the central bit of the same terminal.

And just like that, they leapfrog to the front of the pack with a lead of one-and-a-half hours! Watch the editors make a big deal out of that.

But then they get bunched along with everyone else.

Do we see other teams with the train? If not, it might be a part of Speed Bump?

In TAR Asia 4, leg 4 all the teams had to get the train from Colombo to Galle and it was there that Richard and Richard won the FF by shaving their heads. How funny would it be if there was another FF like this and Brenchel would go for it?  :funny:

Agree with Lutpayy that they're reusing Trendy Connection... Check out the yellow beams and the angle of the roof.

What an all-star season, even the locations are three-peats! -_-

Does Sri Lanka I/II look like they extended at the last minute a leg that was supposed to fit in just one episode, the same way Guangzhou I/II looked like to me?

Don't think so...this one feels planned to me.

Even that we know that TARA and TARAus had visited those places, but I think this will be the first time TAR:US visit those places and this will be the first time it'll be showed in US television. So, it'll be the first time viewers who never watch TARA and TARAus before see those location, tasks, etc. :)

That is very true!
The Amazing Race Australia season 2 also showcased Istanbul, in a better way then the Us. versions (just my opion).

I just hope that they feature Independence Commemoration Hall, in this leg. It was not in season 6.
Love The Amazing Race, The Apprentice and Survivor.

i can't believe there is not double u-turn in this episode. it wouldn't happen in leg 6 also since it is a NEL ( we saw a speed-bump in leg 7, italy)

Press pictures. :P

Brenchel's Speed Bump task just nails it.

This is gonna be a very very boring leg.  :groan:

Hopefully the Plates spinning Detour is interesting.

Wow, in the first photo Luigi are showed at night (take notice of the flashlight on Margie's head), but they're then shown on a train headed to Galle AT DAYTIME! So perhaps they get bunched or something? By an HoO perhaps? :o
