The preview says.... "in two weeks" So that's how the two roadblocks makes sense
Strange, in Season 14, two previews were given, this season only one...

Doesn't that mean there won't be TAR next week, instead the next episode will be featured the week after that? *is a bit confused* ???

I think the two roadblock thing would occur over the next two episodes (4/25 & 5/2), similar to TAR14 where the penultimate leg was an uber leg. However, I'm with those assuming an error in terms of the previews. It's probably from the two final legs prior to the finale, which would most likely have 2 RBs. No show this Sunday due to the ACMs. There wouldn't be a TBC anyway since there are only 3 episodes left after 9 legs aired.

NO, it is NOT a TBC...it is a NEL.
I am not sure just how CBS will do the previews this week. Normally we would have had a new promo yeaterday, they may plan to wait till next Tuesday to give us that?? But they could decide to promote the heck out of it, in order to be sure we don't get "out of sight, out of mind"! So y'all help me watch, okay??

As Pete Seeger sings it, "The answer, my friends, is blown in the wind." in the form of plane flights. China is almost always either the west-to-east first leg (AR10) or the west-to-east penultimate leg into the U.S. (AR1, AR6, AR14, AR16 and almost AR11 which had Guam in between). It is not good logistics to have very tired teams coming off long Trans-Pacific flights and have to travel any reasonable distance. Similarly, it is not good logistics to have teams not jumping off for non-stop flights from Asia to the U.S. I haven't counted but there are a huge number of those from Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong/Macau and to a lesser extent Xian or Guilin. Here are come statistics on major cities (1 million population or more in the city, not the entire Metropolitan Area) in China:
6 above 6 MM (Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Chongqing, Wuhan, Tianjin)
3 between 3 and 6 MM (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shonyang)
32 others between 1 MM and 3MM
For comparison purposes, the U.S. has only 1 over 8 MM (New York City), 1 between 3 and 6 MM (Los Angeles) and 7 between 1 MM and 3 MM (Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Dallas, San Diego).
I think that Amazing Races should be visiting Tianjin, Wuhan, Chongqing, Guangzhou (CAN for prior name Canton) and Shenzhen. I have done a check on direct flights from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle to each of those 7 cities at any time on a specific weekday and out of that I found only one hit (LAX to CAN and return). So, it is logistical barriers which have motivated World Race Productions to take the easier route of using Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong/Macau as the primary international connecting points for all the other cities in the top 41 (including Xian and Guilin).

Oh my gosh apskip. Anything but Shenzhen. My sister lives there and I visit her three times a year and it's so frickin' boring there. It's a business/industrial city so there's not much sights or interesting cultures to see. I want them to visit Harbin, Hangzhou, and Huangshan, or Lhasa (it's Tibet). Those have awesome sights and cultures are real diverse there. Plus, more self-driving!!

Shenzhen is an excellent place and there still are a lot of places to visit. It would be one of my number 1 choices but still there are a lot of attractions there such as the Window of the World and other gardens.
BUT Remember that this is a thread on Leg 10 in Shanghai and this conversation is irrelevant.

Sorry, but I just recently visited Window of the World, and it's rather poorly maintained.
Anyway, I still wonder when the TBC will be, or a 2-hour special. Maybe it'll follow TAR 14's pattern and have Shanghai 2 as the TBC, or we'll have a 2-hour finale (which I am dying to see)
