Exclusive: Yehuda Levy reveals the first goal in "Race to a Million"

In the video for advertisers, Yehuda Levy is already waiting for couples at the opening of the new season, can you guess?

A video released to advertisers this evening and made it to ForReal provides a first and clear glimpse: Yehuda Levy is already at the first destination, minutes before the couples arrive.

On the starting line
In the video, which was filmed as part of internal marketing materials, Levy turns to the camera and makes it clear that the season is already in motion. The words are spoken in real time, against the backdrop of the landscape where the journey begins. "So we start the first destination, the couples will soon arrive all excited. Look at what a spectacular view we have arranged for you. You can show them the ridges, the layers, the beauty, the divinity that is here. We are ready."

Episode opens by saying the teams are in Kandy.

Teams are definitively NOT in Kandy and are already in Colombo.

They traveled by TRAIN to get to Kandy last leg. Do they just not think viewers will notice that there was no train travel to get "back" to Colombo?

Don't know how Mari & Joel manage to do it. It was a very activeTV coded leg with the fish market and the treasure chest. Tomas & Esko had a real roller coaster by starting in first, falling to last after losing the fanny pack, and finishing in the middle of the pack. On that note, not sure if it's changes by production or the cast or a mix of both, but a rise and fall like that was pretty much unheard of in the two previous seasons.

I wish this was last eating task in this season, but I know it is wishful thinking. But please, only one more ... Enough is enough. I'd rather watch the traditional dances or singing than eating. However, I guess this time it was understandable to have eating task, since they were in one of the world's leading spice and flavour filled countries.

I mean, it's not like the other celebrity version Australia that practically has an eating task every other leg. I get why they do it. Also wondering if the raban dance instructor incident will scare them with doing more dance tasks.

Episode 6

In-laws Esko&Tomas are my faves, sad to see Tomas forgot his bag, but I'm glad they did not fall too much behind while backtracking. My individual favourite is still Mari, and I am happy to see that they are still in the race.

Armi is starting to lose her cool as the race continues, which is fine I guess. Now it seems that Armi and Maria are handling pressure the worst. Armi&Sari and Maria&Vilma are my least favourites.

The twins are kinda underdogs and entertaining enough. The siblings Sara&Artturi are climbing in the race and also in my own rankings, they seem versatile and they have been doing good choices lately.

So this was more or less mid-season finale. The season has been entertaining enough and it has been a pleasure to watch. I do think they need to cast more "bigger" personalities for the next season. Sure, there are some tantrums from Maria and maybe Armi and Mari, Sara is scared of many things and Esko and Mari have comedic relief type characteristics. But I would still want to see something else or more. More dramatic/chaotic individuals, or some funny people, more absent-minded, devious and strategic players, very smart people etc ...

I think they should give option to U-Turn in a critical point. We might see Maria&Vilma, Millu&Karoliina or someone surprising U-Turn someone else. This would build tention amongst the teams, since some, like Tomas just want to help other teams and it seems sometimes like they are on a field trip.

Millu&Karoliina are mid tier. I wish they would've shown what foods people were eating, since there was a selection of foods. It was obvious that Artturi and Karoliina for example were eating different foods.

I wish this was last eating task in this season, but I know it is wishful thinking. But please, only one more ... Enough is enough. I'd rather watch the traditional dances or singing than eating. However, I guess this time it was understandable to have eating task, since they were in one of the world's leading spice and flavour filled countries.

The players who have been in other reality games shows, who are still in the race:

Tomas was in The Mole, season 4, and he was the winner. He was totally different than in The Amazing Race. He played his part brilliantly in The Mole. Shady, suspicious, but also collecting money for the grand prize. And of course, he knew best, who the actual mole was. He is actually pretty smart and he has many talents.

Sara was in The Celebrity Big Brother in the year 2013, blunt person in that show, since others were big personalities. She has also been "All-Star Lifeguards", where contestants do tasks related to life guarding. She was in a "I'm a celebrity! Get me out of here!" -type of Jungle Survivor Celebrity show, where her hate for critters was obvious. She was also in The Finnish Survivor, but can't remember much of her in it.

Before Amazing Race, she has not been that interesting in the reality shows she's been on.

Millu won The Finnish Survivor, but tbh I do not remember her or her season that much, even though it was only few years ago. She was not the best player of the season, but oh well ...

Karoliina on the other hand did not win her season of Finnish Survivor, but to me, she was an ideal Survivor player. Great strategic and tactical player, who was good in the games and on the social side too. She was scheming a lot in the Survivor, so when she went to The Traitors, she was voted out as a "Faithful" early on, since the others could not trust her.

The theme of this season is "Dominating the entire leg, but slipping up on the last task and allowing someone else to win the leg"

Very much so the best episode so far. It was the earliest that they had an equalizer in three seasons and felt more competitive. I do not want to know how all of the teams smelled by the end of the leg considering both Detour tasks involved manure. Sara & Artturi almost had it but struggled with the raban dance due to Sara having long nails. How to Mari & Joel keep getting away with this? This ending is up there with Rob & Amber in All Stars. Nina & Elsa elected to quit a task after struggling with dehydration and blisters and managed to survive the leg only to find out that Mari & Joel would have finished ahead of them if the teacher taught them the correct dance steps.

Rappelling down the Empire State Building was an impressive cinematic feat and definitely the highlight of the finale. (Did they actually rent out the whole building or did it just look that way from the edit?)

Seems like Joseph & Adam were slowed down most by transportation, but when you get over $500 in leg money for the finale, you should probably take that as a sign that you can afford to hold your taxi...

I was doing a crossword puzzle in another tab during the ad breaks while watching this episode :funny: It was the Los Angeles Times, not New York, but they're similar. It makes sense to do as a memory challenge. There must be some puzzle fans on the WRP staff. :P

What's not new is a visit to a baseball stadium during a finale, but what is new is that this was the first visit by TARUS to the Bronx. Staten Island is now the only non-visited borough.
