Teams were given pre-arranged flights to Singapore, their next destination, but were offered the ability to find an alternative flights, though the a new rule introduced this season, teams could not rebook once they had bought an alternate set of tickets.

Upon arrival in Singapore, teams took a bumboat to the island of Pulau Ubin and upon arrival had to find a coconut stand and together drink all of the coconut’s water before they were given their next clue.

After the Roadblock, teams had to travel to Centre Square of Raffles Place, which were held by a man wearing a red-and-yellow placard on his back for “Onward Singapore”, he would give their next clue.

After the Detour, teams went to Fort Canning park and were instructed to find their next clue at one of five official Merlion monuments through the city (two at Merlion Park, Sentosa, Tourism Court, and Mount Faber, the latter being the correct site).

The Fast Forward which told the teams to go to Sentosa’s WaveHouse and surf for two minutes to keep their balance without falling on an artificially-generated wave. If they could both stay on their surfboards for two minutes, they could win. The Roadblock required one team member to tightrope walk between the 57^th floor of Marina Bay Sands hotel to the second tower of the hotel. Once they crossed to the other tower and picked up their clue, they had to return to their teammate at the original tower before they could continue racing.

The Detour was a choice of China Cups and Chilli Crabs. In China Cups, teams headed to the Hong San See temple where they had to undergo a session of cupping therapy. After a painful back massage, scraping the skin, and then fire cupping, all of which are said to increase blood flow and remove toxins, teams would receive their next clue from their masseuses. In Chilli Crabs, teams headed to the Red House seafood restaurant at The Quayside where they had to work on Singapore’s most popular dish of chilli crab. Teams had to crack open enough crab claws smothered in chilli sauce to collect the crabmeat. Once teams had 2 pounds (0.91 kg), the head chef would give them their next clue.

Upon arrival in the Maltese capital city of Valletta, teams had to head to the Bridge Bar and were given a drink order from the bartender consisting of a bottle of liquor and two glasses. They then had to carry the order on a tray up Saint Ursula street’s staircase to the Upper Barrakka Gardens where a group of the Knights of Malta waited for their order. If either teammate dropped anything from their tray along the way up the steps, they would have to go back down to the Bridge Bar and pick up a broom and dustpan to clean up before the bartender would replace their broken items. Once teams successfully delivered the order to the Knights, they would give them their next clue.

At Zurrieq Valley Sea Inlet, teams had to found a series of Maltese cross necklaces with times for the next morning marked on them, requiring teams to set up camp overnight.

They then rejoined their teammates in waiting boats and were taken ashore where they discovered they were to pick up their next clue at the Triq Antika near the Monastery of St. Scholastica in Birgu.

For arriving last in the previous leg, Tim and Te Jay had to travel to Saint Lawrence’s Church Oratory and find two shields that they had to paint the Maltese cross on. Once they were done, they could go back and perform the Detour. Teams faced with the first Blind Detour, with their choice between Flag or Shine, and would learn more about the task once they got there. In Flag, teams headed to a part of Birgu Harbour and found that they were to participate in the traditional Maltese game of gostra, running up a greased log over the harbor to grab flags. Once one team member managed to get a yellow flag and the other got a red flag, they were given their next clue. In Shine, teams went to the Gate of Provence where they had to polish a set of armor. After each getting a helmet and chestplate down from a wall, teams had to put on the armor pieces and polish each other’s armor while wearing it. Once the knights were pleased with their work, they would award them their next clue.
