This season introduced `` Head - to - Head '' competitions, pitting two teams directly against one another, to the original Race. Such competitions already appeared in several international versions of the show ( Latin American, Israeli, Norwegian, Philippine, Chinese, and Canadian ). Additionally for the first time, teams swapped partners with another team and ran most of a leg with them instead. This season of the Race featured a first - time visit to Bahrain. Casting While the team of Big Brother houseguests Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson from the recently concluded Season 19 was announced earlier, the full cast of 11 teams of two was revealed on December 7, 2017. Among these include former NBA players Cedric Ceballos and Shawn Marion, IndyCar racers Conor Daly and Alexander Rossi, freestyle skiers Kristi Leskinen and Jen Hudak, and competitive eaters Joey Chestnut and Tim Janus.

Eric & Daniel checked in during their penalty time, dropping Cedric & Shawn to 9th. ^ April & Sarah and Dessie & Kayla arrived at the mat nearly simultaneously. Because Dessie was the last person to physically step on the mat, Dessie & Kayla were eliminated. ^ At the Leg 5 Pit Stop, Lucas proposed to Brittany, who accepted. ^ Teams had to swap partners for a duration of the leg. Cody paired with Jen, Jessica paired with Kristi, Lucas paired with Conor, Brittany paired with Alex, Henry paired with Eric, and Evan paired with Daniel.

Cody & Jen arrived 1st, Brittany & Alex arrived 2nd, Lucas & Conor arrived 3rd, Daniel & Evan arrived 4th, Eric & Henry arrived 5th, and Jessica & Kristi arrived last. Teams swapped back to their original partners once both partners checked in. ^ Lucas lost his passport while on a connecting flight from Harare to Dubai ; they did not arrive in Manama until many hours after all the other teams had checked in at the Pit Stop. When Lucas & Brittany arrived in Dhow Shipyard, Phil met with them to inform them of their elimination.

Without taking notes, the team member had to memorize 11 Icelandic letters placed along the riverbed, and was left to notice that each letter had a number denoting its order in the solution. They then had to arrange tiles with those letters in the correct order to spell out the location of their next destination : Ingólfstorg. Once they arranged all the letters in the proper order, they would receive their next clue. Additional Tasks When teams arrived at the Geitárgljùfur, one team member had to pull themselves along a zip - line high above Geitá river 's canyon until they could retrieve a flag of Iceland suspended from the line. After grabbing the flag, their partner would pull them back to the canyon 's edge. When they reunited, they could exchange the flag for their next clue. At Ingólfstorg, teams had to find a group of strongmen. When they did, CrossFit Games champion Katrín Davíðsdóttir would ask teams two questions about two national tonics : `` What do Icelanders call the drink known as ' Black Death ' ? '' ( Brennivín ) and `` What is Þorskalýsi ? '' ( cod liver oil ). When teams were able to provide the correct answers, they would be given a shot of each tonic. When one team member drank a shot of Brennivín and the other drank a shot of Þorskalýsi, they would receive their next clue. Note At the starting line, after Phil Keoghan said `` Go, '' teams had to find their first clue below the park 's fountain before making their way to John F.

Leg 2 ( Iceland → belgium ) Grote Markt in Antwerp hosted the very first Head - to - Head and the second Pit Stop of the Race.

There, one team member had to climb 100 feet ( 30 m ) to the top of a free hanging ladder while a crane raised teams upwards to retrieve the next clue before the ride ended. The first Detour of the race was a choice of Old Print or Diamond Glint. In Old Print, teams made their way to the Plantin - Moretus Museum. Once there, teams had to arrange type pieces following the example of a provided clue keeping in mind that the type pieces needed to be arranged in a mirror image of their clue. They then had to carry their template to be printed using a printing press. If the printed paper 's message matched the provided clue exactly, they would be given the message as their next clue. In Diamond Glint, teams must travel to the ADC Building within the Antwerp diamond district. Once there, teams had to evaluate three diamonds based on their carat, color, and clarity. After weighing and measuring the diamonds and establishing a base rate, teams had to find any imperfections and discolorations and deduct from their values accordingly based on a provided formula. When teams correctly calculated the total value of all three diamonds and added the value to the price of an unfinished necklace, they would receive their next clue. Additional tasks Due to limited availability of flights, teams were given a set of pre-arranged flights to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and from there they would need to take a train to Antwerp. After arriving in Antwerp, teams made their way to The Chocolate Line where a chocolatier named Stan would hand them their next clue. After the Detour, teams were given a clue, written in Dutch, that required teams to `` go to a large public place where you will find the city hall and Silvius Brabo ''. This clue directed them to the Grote Markt. At the Grote Markt, teams encountered the first Head - to - Head of the Race, in which two teams competed against each other in a `` Frietrace. '' After both members of both teams donned French fry costumes, each team had to nominate one member to run an obstacle course. While running the course, each participant had to push a dolly with eight bags of frites. Bags of frites that fell off had to be replaced before continuing. A team could immediately check in at the nearby Pit Stop after winning a heat, while the losing team had to wait until the next team arrived. Unlike Roadblocks, losing teams could alternate racers between heats. The team to lose the final heat was eliminated from the race.

After reiterating this phrase to the shopkeeper, he would hand them their next clue. They could only open their clue once they had reunited with their partner back in the Kisariate Jbala Souk. This leg 's Detour was a choice between Drop it Off and Shake it Off. In Drop it Off, teams had to travel to a food wholesalers ' truck within Grand Socco and pick up crates of squash, chickens, and oranges. Dragging their crates along the ground, they had to deliver specified items to three locations ( squash to Bab Kasbah, chickens to Marhaba Palace Restaurant, and oranges to Bab el - Assa ), where they would receive a receipt stamped with one of the three words in the name of the Pit Stop. Once they completed all three deliveries, teams could exchange the receipts for the clue directing them to the Pit Stop. In Shake it Off, teams had to travel to the Manounia Palace Restaurant and put on traditional belly dancing attire.
