From the commercial and little info in the cbs site, looks like they are going to the pyramids. Some place near the beach maybe Cancun b/c they said something about swiming with the dolphins. But no clue about the next country ? take a guess

From the CBS site.

Next Week on THE AMAZING RACE:

A car collides with a bus full of Teams.

Two Teams wipe out on waverunners.

A magical swim with dolphins isn't so magical for a couple of Teammates.


I really feel bad for the bus with some of the Teams, because, They should have to stay there untill the police are done and everything etc.

When I was in a bus and some guy came up and said we had hit his car, we had to wait almost an hour and a half till we could leave again....

And in this game..time..is really important.

From this week's TV Guide article:

They drive to Teotihuacan....the PYRAMID of the Sun. (I've climbed this one...HUGE steps!! Great view!)

Then back to Mexico City to take a bus to Cancun. There is a bus wreck

They can choose Wave Runner or Kayak (this must be in Cancun).

Then to Coxumel to Chankanab National Park to swim with dolphins.

The pit stop is at the Diamante K Bungalows in Tulum (wherever that is!).

The TV guide "ghost" team left 30 minutes after the last real team and arrived second to last. "Team TV Guide is happy to call it quits (after one leg)." They were tired, hungry, and desperately in need of a shower!

I think that they must fly out in the third show OR take a bus deeper into Central America. Personally I would like to see them explore the ruins in Guatemala. I travelled to Guatemala several years ago, and that country would give us spectacular scenary AND the contestants lots of challenges. I'm also hoping for Germany, Austria, Switzerland or Italy. OR Scandandavia!

Can't wait for the next episodes!

Tulum is near Cancun (like 30 min.) There are pyramids there. where you can see the beach (beautiful beach). It has a great view.

Schoolmarm, I agree with you. I've climbed the Pyramid of the Sun and took some great pictures from the top. One of the best vacations I've been on.

I would so love to be on this show!I'd lose because I'd be too busy checking out the surroundings!

Oh!!! The pyramid of the Sun is absolutely amazing!

I do not travel much at all. Mexico is the only country I've traveled in, and I did it to study Spanish for a summer one year. It was very exciting for this small town southern girl to actually recognize landmarks of a country they visited! I guessed that the guy would be located in the "Zocalo" and my mom just stared at me amazed. I can't wait to see the next episode since they are gonna stay in Mexico a bit longer and I'll get to see the Pyramids again. :)

Dunno, but I DON'T want them to go to Alaska again. How about Iceland? Or Greenland? Or Siberia? Just my two cents.

I travel a great deal and it's always a kick to see the places I've been on TV. Last year, I was in New Zealand just a week after the contestants went through there, and when I went to do that incredible 135-meter bunjy jump that they also did, the attendants told me about the show having just come though there.

My folks just got back from Norway and Iceland and my Dad was just RAVING about Iceland. They could swim in the waterfalls or take a sauna. I hope that they go to different places than they went in the other seasons.

I love the scenery and getting a glimpse at various cultures and customs.

I haven't travelled much myself, outside of Canada that is (been from one coast to the other in my country)... However, I always get a kick whenever I watch Pretty Woman and they have a quick shot of a steel statue in a park before going to a meeting scene, and they're supposed to be in LA, however, the statue that they keep showing is from Chicago... Also, I know that a tonne of movies are shot in my hometown - Toronto, Canada, and I always get a kick out of the ones that are "supposed" to be in Chicago, LA, etc., and there's the CN tower in the background.. hee hee

In the opening credits, when the world map shows with cities, there's Vancouver, which is where I live. :) I wonder what they had to do while they were here. I'm guessing that it was the last pit stop since the race begins and ends in the US.

Lyra, it appears to be the same map they had for TAR2. Vancouver also appeared there, but they didn't do anything there. I think the map doesn't mean anything. It also had Bangladesh last time and they didn't go there either.

Awww, too bad! I didn't realize it was the same map.

Yeah, Lyra, there's a fleeting shot of Udaipur, India in the opening credits, too...but I think they've already gone there in a previous season. (Haven't they?)

Yes, ma'am, Tabby... I get around... every week I see something I've done! Like the ferry to Tangiers they took last night, like hanging out in Fes, like climbing up to Christ the Redeemer or the stairs to the Sydney Opera House. It's always really wild to see the places you've been... it all comes rushing back to you! It's one of the reasons I love this show.

every week i see dirty bathrooms that take me back to the week before. every evening i see a sinkful of dirty dishes that take me back to only the night before. i would love to see something i had done (short of another 93-hour labor!) and have it be something as exciting as the things you have experienced. way cool!
my only 'been there' was when they made that awful movie with sonja braga, and shortlived sitcom with whoopee goldberg called 'the bagdad cafe'. i turned 13 at the bagdad cafe, when i was traveling with a girlfriend and her brother and sister and OB/gyn mother. their dormobile (english camping van) broke down in the mojave desert, and the mom had to go with the camper to needles or barstow or some other place. she left us in the desert with our tent trailer for 5 days. she gave me 100 dollars (this was 1967, august) and told me to wave down a greyhound bus if she wasn't back in a week. we put pennies on the railroad tracks, ate buried, EXPIRED, c-rations, hung out at the cafe, were in a grasshopper 'storm'--thousands and thousands of grasshoppers traveling through for about 5 hours one evening-- and had a tornado on my birthday. bagdad had a population of '9, 10 on the weekdays when a highway patrolman stayed over'. who would leave 4 kids in the desert these days, with the oldest one being 12, going on 13?!
now, there is a new highway and you don't even go by bagdad unless you get off the new road!

Tabby, I thought that movie was really neat... I always wondered where that place was! But it's not like I'm rich or anything. I just don't spend my money on much besides travel, because I love it so much. And I live in NYC, which makes it much easier to get outta Dodge when I'm feeling the urge to learn something new. I gotta tell you, though, travel has gotten really really cheap these days... you can fly to London and get six nights of hotel room, all for $350 these days! I'm a cheap traveler, no luxury--that's for sure. Spend you money on fancy hotels and you wont see anything.

bast, i believe that. i mean, unless you are on your honeymoon, and looking up at the ceiling--well, one of you, anyway! lol-- why spend money on a hotel, when you should be out and about and seeing the sights!!
i think it's wonderful how you have gone out and done so many things!
i used to live in nyc, but always used my vacation and money to come back to california to see family...
