Detours of "The Amazing Race (AUS) 1" Quiz

Answer: Food

In Leg 1, teams completed their Detour task in Lombok, Indonesia. This Detour, which occurred in a local marketplace, forced teams to choose either 'Cash' or 'Carry'. In 'Cash', teams needed to use a marked car to sell fifteen bowls of Bakso for 5,000 Rupiah apiece. Richard and Joey, Nathan and Tyler, Mo and Mos, Anne-Marie and Tracy, and Ryot and Liberty completed 'Cash'.

In 'Carry', teams needed to balance a container of greens on their head and walk through the marketplace to receive their clue. If any member of the team dropped their container, both would need to restart. Sam and Renae, Matt and Tom, Dave and Kelly, Jeff and Luke, Chris and Anastasia, and Mel and Alana did this task. All of the teams then made their way to Malimbu Beach to catch a boat ride.

Answer: Fowl

In Hue, Vietnam, teams chose between 'Carry Fowl' and 'Carabao'. In the former task, teams traveled to Bang Chicken Farm (cute name) and used carrying devices to transport a total of twenty chickens from the farm to a local marketplace. In the latter task, teams used a plow and a buffalo known as a carabao to search a large, muddy field for a race flag buried somewhere in the mud.

Many teams opted to avoid this task after futile attempts at finding a needle in a dirty haystack, but Jeff and Luke and Chris and Anastasia finished it. Everyone else carried the fowl before heading along to a Road Block at Khai Dinh Tomb.

Answer: Richard and Joey

In Leg 3, Richard and Joey finished the Fast Forward task in Hong Kong allowing them to skip all tasks and proceed to the Pit Stop. As such they never attempted the Detour, a choice between 'Lion Dance' and 'Kung Fu Stance'. In 'Lion Dance', teams donned a two-person lion costume, learned moves of a traditional dance, and performed it properly for a spectator to earn their clue.

In 'Kung Fu Stance', teams needed to learn an intricate kung fu routine, then break six clay tiles to receive their clue. Alana and Mel, Chris and Anastasia, Anne-Marie and Tracy, Mo and Mos finished 'Lion Dance' while Tyler and Nathan, Jeff and Luke, Dave and Kelly, Sam and Renae, Matt and Tom completed 'Kung Fu Stance'.

Answer: Nathan and Tyler

In Leg 4, teams completed a Detour at Kragga Kamma Game Park choosing either 'Smash' or 'Bash'. In 'Smash', teams threw a club known as a knobkierie to break four far-away jars. Breaking all four would result in a clue, and it did for Tyler and Nathan, David and Kelly, and Matt and Tom.

In 'Bash', Chris and Anastasia, Alana and Mel, Mo and Mos, Jeff and Luke, Sam and Renae, and Richard and Joey used tools to build giraffe feeders. After the Detour, teams had the option of using the U-Turn. Nathan and Tyler did this very thing, forcing Richard and Joey to return to the Detour to complete the 'Smash' task.

Answer: False

Although teams found themselves Intersected for a small portion of Leg 5 (in Cape Town), the Detour, a choice between 'Guns' and 'Rosé', was held after the Intersection had ended. In 'Guns', teams needed to go to a firing range and use a rifle to shoot down clay targets. Once the team members had hit a total of nine clay discs, they could receive their clue.

In 'Rosé', teams made their way to a local winery to transport a barrel and fill it with Rosé wine to receive their next clue. Matt and Tom, Jeff and Luke, Nathan and Tyler, and Mo and Mos completed 'Guns' while Chris and Anastasia, David and Kelly, Alana and Mel, and Sam and Renae completed 'Rosé'.

After this, teams continued to the Atlantis Dunes.

Answer: Delivery

In Leg 6, teams progressed from Cape Town to Amsterdam to Prague where they located a Detour clue on Charles Bridge. This required that teams either choose 'Chivalry' or 'Delivery'. In 'Chivalry' (completed by Dave and Kelly and Matt and Tom) teams dressed up as knights and searched Old Town Square for a man with a key and then delivered the key to a damsel on a hotel balcony.

In 'Delivery', teams needed to carry a princess several kilometers in a royal sedan chair to the Old Town Square. The remaining five teams completed this one before receiving the Road Block clue.

Answer: Two

In Leg 7, teams traveled through the Czech Republic (in the Prague regions) and had to complete a Detour consisting of 'Stack Up' and 'Stack In'. In 'Stack Up', teams needed to stack boxes of pilsner taken off an assembly line on two pallets. In 'Stack In', teams needed to eat a combined total of eighteen local Czech sausages. All of the teams finished 'Stack Up'. Both tasks were held at a Czech brewery. In the second half of the leg in Poland, teams chose either 'Herd' or 'Hoe Down'.

In 'Herd', teams needed to herd three particular sheep into a small, self-built pen.

In 'Hoe Down', teams needed to dress up and learn a local axe dance. All of the teams chose to complete the same task again: 'Herd'.

Answer: Israel

In Leg 8, teams completed the Detour on Jerusalem Beach in Tel Aviv. Sam and Renae completed 'Find Unseen', which involved searching the sands with a metal detector (for a key) to unlock a chest. The remaining four teams completed 'Make 13' which involved playing a game of matkot, a ball and paddle game, and volleying the ball back and forth thirteen times to receive their clue. In Leg 9, teams visited Jerusalem for their Detour. Sam and Renae completed 'Holy Grail' which involved an archaeological dig and delivery in the ruins of the City of David.

The remaining three teams completed 'Pilgrim's Trail' which forced them to carry a heavy wooden cross through the streets of Jerusalem to visit the Stations of the Cross.

Answer: A fish market

Arriving at St. John's Fish Market in Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka, teams got to choose between 'Count' and 'Carry'. None of the teams completed 'Count', a straightforward fish-counting task. Instead, Matt and Tom, Nathan and Tyler, Sam and Renae, and Jeff and Luke all opted to complete 'Carry' in which they each moved fifteen large blocks made of ice from a loading port to a marked stall somewhere in the market.

When they were all transported unbroken to the specific stall they could take their next clue and catch a train to the town of Galle.

Answer: 'Stair'

In Singapore, teams completed their final Detour task at the Arena Bay Sands Hotel. In 'Dare', teams tested their tolerance for heights by walking a tightrope between two towers 200m above the ground. Once both members made the walk there and back, they received their clue.

In 'Stair' teams climbed up and down 56 floors in tower 1 and then tower 2 to receive the same clue. Sam and Renae and Nathan and Tyler took the 'Dare' task while Jeff and Luke completed 'Stair'. Teams then continued through Singapore before returning to Australia.
