So far we only know about the Dancing being a task on this leg , right ? Is their a chance that the coir task could be on this leg too ?

It could only be IF this is a double RB leg.  OR we don't see the other team member also doing coir.... (which seems unlikely)

But since the most likely place for doing that is another town, I am inclined to think next leg.

Can someone refresh my memory on double RB legs?? Is there also a Detour...or none?? I forget.  :-[

There has never been a Detour with a double roadblock leg. But we haven't seen any sign of a Detour yet in this leg either. If the press photos come out they will probably tell us the answer.

haha they are out already.

Detour A is cricket! It is done by Art and JJ. They must "hit one boundry"

Detour B is driving a auto rickshaw with passengers and is done by Dave and Rachel

The roadblock is done by JJ, both Rachels and Mark

This helps confirm that Ranessa makes until next time whether it is a NEL or not. If a team is eliminated it has to be Kentucky.

Since i'm originally from Kerala i was able to figure out the ground where they do the dance sequences from google maps
it's the   Sacred Heart College, Cochin , athletic field.

Detour B reminds me of a race that looks almost as fun as TAR: the Richshaw Run, which started coincidentally in Kochi and will finish in a few days in the hill country of Shillong.

Recall Amazing Race Asia 3 in Pune (Nehru Cricket Stadium) for a cricket-oriented ROADBLOCK. One individual had to hit the cricket ball to the boundary (but not over it) to complete the task and get their next clue. The official regulations call for cricket field boundaries to be not more than 90 yards (82.29 meters) from center of the field. The boundary can be a fence, a rope or some marker.

I did some research on the things on the wall of the Coir Factory, where you see them running in images 55,56,57 where Vanessa falls down. the guy's photo on the wall, is an election poster and there's also another poster below it which says "CPI". In kerala the last election was held back in April 2011 and i checked the candidates for that election in and around cochin and alleppey. I think that face matches with the candidate from "Cherthala"  , which is a  town  between Cochin and Alleppey.(his photo can be seen here - http://www.blogger.com/profile/01787861252586860404). He belongs to the "CPI" party which matches with the other poster. (Coir factory employees are big supporters of CPI, which is a communist political party).
So i think the coir factory they are showing is almost  half way between Cochin and Alleppey(Alapuzha) and puts that closer to Cochin and not in Alleppey.

I think y'll are right about Vanessa and Ralph being safe through this episode. In the press release photos Vanessa is wearing yellow, but when she's shown falling down she's wearing a gray tank top. But who knows.  :duno:

Hopefully both teams are safe thru this leg....since we do NOT yet know if this is some form of a NEL/TBC leg.

that's  a local city Bus they are on. It has tarp rolled up (usually rolled down during those heavy monsoon rains) on both sides.

We have a SPOILER DISCUSSION THREAD for a reason. If you would like to discuss any episodes other than India, including the Finale, that would be the place to go. Thanks!

2 legs in a 25-30 mile area indicates it could also be a TBC! :D

There is a new clip up on cbs.com. It shows Mark doing his first attempt on the roadblock but he already seems worn out by the practicing.

All other teams are shown there at this point except for Dave and Rachel. The other Rachel has apparently already made several attempts because she is over with Brendon crying about how she can't do it. Vanessa is saying "I don't have it in me" and you also get the impression that JJ has already tried more than once as well.

Since these teams have already been trying and Davechel may already be done by the time Mark makes his first try, it doesn't look good for Mopper. :(

The opening shot of the clip shows the blue, red, purple, and green teams standing in the field. These belong to JJ, Mark, Vanessa, and Rachel(O' Reilly) respectively. What color was the other Rachel using?

She seems to be with the yellow team which is not seen on the field at this time. They are either already done or have not arrived. It's probably the former because all the other teams have already been there for a while.

Orange I believe.

It's orange.  You can check that at 0:08 in promo 1.

Am I wrong or in caps 20,21,22, we can see another team going to do (or doing) the RB in the background?

That is the dancers in blue , which is Art/JJ team.
