One of our local theaters plays classic old movies each Wednesday at Noon. Not this week, but on Wednesday April 9th, they are showing ... you guessed it ... Roman Holiday!   

I go from time to time (I'm planning to go see The Magnificent Seven this Wednesday), but I'll have to be at work for Roman Holiday. My wife will likely be there though.

No the season 1 route marker was on Via Del Colosseo about 100 meters north of here.

The company that "produces" Gladiator School and reenacts many epic battles is Gruppo Historico Romano. They have a "training facility" on the Appian Way, that is nowhere near a subway stop. They stage battles all over Rome and have been to other provinces as well.

We were fortunate to go to this Gladiator School last October -- it was a blast! They teach you all sorts of combat with sticks and knives and you get to wear some wicked heavy armor. We had a gladiatrix (who moonlighted / moonlit? as an opera singer) as our instructor. Hoping to see her on the show. The most interesting tidbit that we learned was that in the fights in the Colosseum, many of them were fixed -- apparently, gladiators were the professional wrestlers of their time. Once a slave won enough battles and bought their freedom - they were basically "unbeatable." (Unless some powerful person took a dislike to them). Very cool experience.

I wonder which teams strike this deal, and if it has to do with a Double U-Turn!

100 meters -- 300 feet is a football pass away; you'd be hard pressed to distinguish the distance on a satellite photo.

Personally, I think this is where alliances come out, and the Brenchel/Country feud starts <3

So they must find the Vittorio Emmanuele Monument. I knew it was called a wedding cake by Italians but not about the typewriter resemblance!

[kiki]

 The Globetrotters are in front of the Channel Boutique in Via del Babuino and they are running towards Piazza di Spagna, they are only a few meters away.

Oh my!  Leo (?) is so bad, that he gets booted back to the training camp-this one should be great!!   

[RachelLeVega]

I'm hoping for the best in this Leg, but it's hard to do so after I saw a REMOTE CONTROL chariot task. Who are the cheapskates that designed this task?

I'm wondering if there is going to be a Fast Forward in this Leg. It's already Leg 7 and we haven't seen hints of a FF yet. Could it be another case of TAR18?

IIRC when we found the webcam of the Spanish Steps the day of, we saw everyone but Brenchel performing the task. That, plus the cap of Brenchel performing the horse Detour suggests that there's not a FF this leg (or they bail on it again *shrugs*).

Though this makes me wonder about something else - there's been exactly 0 caps of Jet and Cord at either Detour this leg (though we know Jet performs the RB) and, in general, not a whole lot of promotional material about them this leg, which is a stark contrast to most of the other legs this season. Maybe they use up the Express Pass?

In more factual news, Leo and Jamal are headed for Ponte Sant'Angelo (their clue reads blahblahblah Bridge so I'm making the logical leap here), which is their first destination in Rome.  :inocent:

i am worried that there are no u-turns this season
it is already leg 7 and we still have no signs for u-turns
hope it will not be a tar 15 or tar 20 again

[paradoxinee]

There is a new sneak peak video in which we see Cowboys, Dave & Connor, Globetrotters and Brenchel all do the Chariot Detour at the same time.

TAR15 had a used U-Turn in Leg 4 (Lance & Keri {Team Maroon} U-Turned Sam & Dan who were ahead of them at that point), but it was unaired since it didn't affect teams significantly.

What I'm mostly worried about is the tasks. Yes, the tasks. Rome is like the Mecca of Italian cuisine, Old World architecture, and Ancient Olympic sports (some are safe for viewer eyes and challenging too). After seeing toy chariots that are literally child's play, drastic costumes contradicting the actuality of the task, and Caroline & Jennifer doing a generic delivery task for their SB, I don't expect this Leg to bring a bundle of joy to me.
