The Amazing Race: Visit to Romania - A Preview

Sunday’s episode of CBS’ The Amazing Race is sure to become a classic as teams travel to Romania and visit Transylvania, the home of Dracula’s castle. While there, teams will search for their next clue - which will be buried in a coffin outside of the castle. Teams will visit another landmark while in Romania: The National Sports Complex in Bucharest where Olympic gymnast Nadia Comaneci trained. While at the complex, teams will be faced with a Road Block where a member from each team will have to learn and correctly perform gymnastic maneuvers.

The third leg of the race will also be filled with drama as mishaps happen to a number of teams that could affect the outcome of the race. Tension continues to rise between Victor and Tammy as the siblings struggle to find a harmonious working relationship and the right path to get to their next clue. Brad and Victoria find themselves arriving at the airport after their flight to Romania has left. Kris and Amanda pull a Toni/ Dallas and lose their money and passports. Cara and Jamie lose patience when they learn their taxi driver isn’t as familiar with the area as he claimed.
