Right, but they indicate roadblocks in (1) China, (2) Mongolia, and (3) Viet Nam.
It is starting to look like that is the order for the first three legs, and New Zealand is being passed by!!
Another thought on the ROADBLOCK in Beijing. Maybe one team member has to cook the meal on the wok, and the other poor soul has to eat it with chopsticks.

Cleveland buddies add to diversity in Amazing Race'
The competition has a long way and many twists to go, so it's not giving anything away to reveal that, speeding to the airport, Abdul-Mani and Rudolph start out in first place. Anyone who has watched previous editions of "The Amazing Race" knows this means nothing.
"I'm very aggressive," says Abdul-Mani, who takes the wheel as they race to the airport. "He's a somewhat passive guy, which is good, because we've got to have that blend."
So half of the field will get to Beijing with about an hour advantage. It would spoil the fun to reveal much more, but merely to whet your appetite for what's ahead, let me serve up the idea of a food challenge in China.
"I'm from Cleveland, Ohio," Abdul-Mani says with a laugh. "What do I know about chopsticks?"
There are two major destination points in Sunday's premiere. The second is the Great Wall of China.
And here's the first surprise Keoghan said would be waiting for them: At each destination, the last-place team is eliminated. That's right. When "The Amazing Race" settles into its new regular time period, 8-9 p.m. Sundays, on Sept. 24, it will be missing two teams.

I don't think this is right. Don't think there is enough time to include leg one (Beijing) and leg two (Mongolia) in the first ep. Therefore, doubt that there will be two eliminations in the first ep.

assumes the Gold House / food Roadblock is one destination .
Wall of China the second destination .
It sounds like the writer saw the premiere video ?
ETA: maybe thats the twist?
The race begins in Seattle, Wash. when Teams begin jockeying for available flights to the first destination, Beijing, China. Once there, Teams are faced with their first Roadblock, which requires them to feast on a Chinese delicacy. As the racers continue to navigate their way through the busy streets of Beijing, they are faced with the game's first twist. Meanwhile, the racer's physical prowess is put to the test when they must climb a portion of the Great Wall of China.
