Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race Australia 6" Quiz

Answer: False

With the twenty competing teams split into two groups (one heading to Ouarzazate, Morocco in Leg 1 and the other to Marrakesh for Leg 2), all teams did have the opportunity to face a Road Block task, but one team, specifically Paul and Rachel, were unable to overcome the latter's panic attack in Ouarzazate to complete the challenge, instead incurring a time penalty that they served onsite at the challenge. They were eliminated in the same leg.

In Leg 1, team members had to complete a series of movie stunts at Atlas Studios while in Leg 2, team members ate preserved lemons in the markets of Marrakesh.

Answer: Chefchaouen

Eighteen teams(!) competed in the third leg of the race when they combined heats at the Spanish Mosque in Chefchaouen, the Blue City of Morocco. There, after an overnight stay, teams lined up to enter La Botica de la Abuela Aladdin, a soap store, in groups of three to search for a marked stack of soap they would need to replicate in size and colour in the streets outside using provided materials.

This task was completed by Claire, Angel, Kathy, Tiffany, Reem, Gabby, Lilli, Mori, Sam, Jamus, Kelly, Vincent, Tottie, Stu, Steph, Glennon, Toni, and Holly; that's nine teams-worth of people!

Answer: Kokoreç

Opted into by Mori, Angel, Lilli, Jamus, Tiffany, Flick, Fliss, Vincent, Steph, Georgia, Toni, Claire, and Crystal, this solo task had teams visiting a restaurant by the name of Kokoreççi Asim Usta in the city of Izmir, Türkiye to prepare a meaty meal. To do this, they had to head into the kitchen and clean sheep intestines before wrapping them evenly onto a metal skewer to be cooked. Once delivered to the storefront, the selected team member would get a plate of cooked kokoreç that they had to eat before getting their next clue.

Answer: Evil eye

Also known as a nazar, the evil eye of Nazarköy was the focus of Leg 8's Road Block which sent teams into the villages of rural Türkiye. Heading to a glass-blowing workshop, the participating racers had to learn the intricate process of taking molten glass, stacking it, and flattening it while hot to make an evil eye design to the liking of the professionals. Frankie, Chelsea, Pako, Morgan, Heath, Flick, Tammy, Tottie, Georgia, Cynthia, Steph, and Claire had their eyes on the prize for this tough challenge.

Answer: Medellín

Though teams visited Bogotá first (in Leg 10) and Cartagena after (in Leg 12), they reached Medellín in Leg 11, starting outside the city but returning around dinnertime for an eating challenge at their Road Block. For this, one member of each pair (Pako, Frankie, Glennon, Toni, Flick, and Jamus) had to dig into two plates of delicacies in Comuna 13, notably a salad with pig's eyes and tripa de cerda, or chitterlings, before heading to the Pit Stop.

Answer: False

Though the leg did feature two Road Blocks, there was no restriction on who could complete the second Road Block. The first task here involved searching the waters at Shark Ray Alley for marked conch shells on the seabed while the second involved timing a bike ride down a short street to be at least two and a half minutes (without touching the ground and while hauling coconuts). Though all other teams split their Road Blocks, Kelly and Jodie did both.

Answer: Teams gave each other the answers

By the time teams reached the Road Block in Leg 17 they'd already raced through the entirety of a leg in Campeche City, hit a Virtual Pit Stop, and kept on racing through an entire leg in Mérida. Unfortunately for them, the Road Block continued on to another Virtual Pit Stop from which teams headed deeper into the Yucatan to Izamal.

The papel picado Road Block, however, had teams counting the correct pink flags hanging over Calle 64 to get a total of seventy-nine (of three thousand!). Once one racer got the number (it was Toni), all the rest followed suit.

Answer: Embroidery

Leaving Izamal toward the end of Leg 18 (and their third leg of the race with no rest at a Pit Stop), team members had to take a seat and learn how to embroider, copying a traditional flower design given to them by local women. Frankie, Heath, Georgia, Cynthia, Pako, and Lauren were chosen to take on this meticulous task and could only head onward, ninety minutes east to the Pit Stop, if they got it right-- a tough task if only because of the exhaustion.

Answer: The cockpit of a plane

Returning to Australia in Leg 19, five teams raced to Perth and headed directly to the Royal Aero Club at Jandakot airport where they could take a seat in a small aircraft and fly into the sky, performing aerial maneuvers while taking notes for a pop quiz they would receive when they landed on the ground. If Toni, Pako, Cynthia, Angel, and Kelly could get five questions about Australian aviation correct, they wouldn't need to go back into the air for another spin (and none of them did).

Answer: Sandcastles

Racing through Broome in the final leg of the race, team members encountered two Road Block tasks, the first of which required that they collect and peg oysters looking for a pearl and the latter of which required a great deal of luck and endurance. Heading to a local hotel to collect a bucket and shovel, racers headed to Simpsons Beach to search amongst two hundred sand castles for one containing a red-and-yellow mother of pearl button. If they could locate it, they could proceed to the final task of the race.
