As this leg of The Amazing Race began, teams headed to Rome from Sri Lanka. They all boarded a direct flight to the city, and once there, they headed to Hadrian’s bridge for their next clue.

At the bridge, teams encountered a Detour. In ‘Gladiator,’ they had to master a series of maneuvers to defeat a seasoned gladiator and keep crowds happy. John and Jessica chose this Detour, and Leo and Jamal switched to it after initially trying the first one.

In ‘Charioteer,’ teams had to race remote control chariots 5 laps within 1 ½ minutes while one member controlled the speed and the other controlled the turns. Brendon and Rachel, Flight Time and Big Easy, Dave and Connor, Jet and Cord, Leo and Jamal and Caroline and Jennifer all chose this one.

Before doing the Detour, Caroline and Jennifer encountered a Speed Bump. They had to go to the Pantheon, pick up a typewriter, carry it to the building it resembled and place it on a pedestal before they could continue racing.

After the Detour teams headed to the Piazza di Spagna, where they encountered a Roadblock. Teams had to count the Spanish steps and add the total to the year a monument was erected. Once they get the correct number and write it in Roman Numerals they would receive their next clue.

Jessica and John, despite leaving detour first, arrived at the roadblock last due to taxi troubles.

Rachel and Brendon finished first and went by foot to Piazza del Popolo for the Pit Stop. Dave and Connor and Caroline and Jennifer finished next. Jet and Cord used their Express Pass and also ended the task quickly. The Globetrotters ran into trouble at the task because of misreading the clue. Leo and Jamal gave the answer to both the Globetrotters and John and Jessica to help them out on the condition that the teams wouldn’t U-Turn one another on the next leg, unaware that they were the last teams.

Rachel and Brendon won first place this leg, winning a trip for two to Australia's Great Barrier Reef. They were followed in order by Caroline and Jennifer, Dave and Connor, Jet and Cord, Leo and Jamal, The Globe trotters and John and Jessica.

In a foot race to the finish the Globe Trotters just beat John and Jessica to the mat, eliminating them.
