The Amazing Race Season 6 Episode 12 Synopsis

The four remaining teams take off from Lion's Rock in Sri Lanka and learn that they must fly to Shanghai, China. The teams catch the same flights via Hong Kong and then through to Shanghai which arrives later that night.

The teams face communication difficulties while trying to grab taxis to get to Yu Yuan Gardens.

The teams eventually arrive and discover that they must wait until the next morning for it to open.

The teams are then instructed to make their way by taxi to Huaneng Union Tower where one team decides to use the third and final Yield on another.

Next, a Roadblock has team members lowering down a building while making sure to locate a hidden message printed half way down and then teams must use this to reveal to a man at the bottom to get their next clue.

Next, the teams travel by taxis to the Monument of the People's Heroes on Shanghai's most popular mile, the Bund. There, teams must search through a group of Tai Chi performers for the one with their next clue.

Teams then make their way to the docks of Shanghai where they encounter a Detour. One involves "Bricks," a more physical task, while other as "Ice" which requires transporting ice and then breaking it into small parts. No one chose to do "Ice."

The teams then rush to get to the next Pit Stop, the Peace Hotel South.

In the end, one team is only just late by a few minutes and arrives last.

Although fearing the worst, they are not eliminated, as this is the last of three pre-determined non-elimination legs.

However, Phil tell us someone will fall victim to the final elimination on the next leg.

The Amazing Race Show Summary

The Amazing Race is an adventure reality show hosted by Phil Keoghan that pits 10, 11, or 12 teams of 2 or 4 people against each other in a race around the world for approximately 40 days. In a leg, they go to destinations where they will complete a roadblock, a task where 1 person completes (Season 1-7) or 2 people (Season 8), a detour, where you have to decide between two tasks that are usually opposite of each other, and a miscellaneous task.

After they complete all these tasks, they will be directed to go to a Pit stop where they will have a 24 hour rest period where they will be able to eat, drink, sleep, and mingle with other teams. The last team to check into the Pit Stop usually is eliminated, but sometimes there is a non-elimination leg in which no one is eliminated. After all teams are eliminated except for 3, these three race to the finish line where the winning team wins 1 million dollars.
