TENSIONS MOUNT AND THE STRESS OF THE RACE TAKES ITS TOLL ON SEVERAL TEAMS WHO GET LOST WHILE TRYING TO FIND THEIR NEXT CLUE IN SICILY, ON "THE AMAZING RACE 9," TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT
"Sleep Deprivation Is Really Starting To Irritate Me" -- Tensions mount and the stress of the race takes its toll on several teams who get lost while trying to find their next clue in Sicily, on THE AMAZING RACE 9, Tuesday, April 4 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
While racing through the ancient streets of Sicily, teams choose between a detour where they must either sell four kilograms of small Italian fish in a busy open-air market, or carry a 32-pound swordfish one-third of a mile through a congested part of the city in order to receive their next clue. Teams are also faced with a roadblock that requires one team member to score a goal in the popular Italian sport of "Kayak Polo" while competing against a team of professional players
Boingo:
FWIW, there is a second and (third) Roman Amphitheatre in Catania, which are even closer to the Fish Market pointed out by Banzai. These are much more complete than the one in Piazza Stesicoro. I wonder if the teams get confused and go to the wrong theatres here when they arrive in Catania? Depends on how detailed the clues are. :dunno:
--- Quote ---Draped with ivy, and overlooked by a ring of 17th-century buildings and apartments, this charming theater at Via Vittorio Emanuele 260 is an ancient oasis concealed in the midst of an urban neighborhood. During classical times, it held as many as 17,000 spectators for plays and -- to a lesser extent -- water games, when boats would float on waters funneled in from then-nearby streams and aqueducts. It was also a site for gladiator contests. Ironically, part of the theater's graceful crescent-shaped seating structure is blocked by a black-lava bridge added during the early 17th century as the base for the since-demolished Via Grotte, once a densely populated street within this residential neighborhood.
A smaller theater, the Odeon, is accessible near the back side of the Roman theater. To reach it, follow signs from the theater and walk uphill through some tunnels and steep vaulted stairs.

I don't think this is recycled - last eppy Barry was wearing a brighter blue t-shirt. Just want to make sure. :waves:
If this is new, then Barry takes off this blue shirt at the fish market.
So can we assume they don't travel by bus at all and just drive?

Different pages give different hours, for ex. another says 9:00-1:30 and 2:00-7:00pm but generally it says it's open from 9:00.
Is the door just opened and E/J can finally enter?

This is different from CBS, it says one team and not several.
