Rodney March 6 Share March 6 (edited) Fourteen teams compete. In Hong Kong, teams confront the inaugural Fork in the Road, forcing them to choose which direction and route they want to take to the Pit Stop, creating two parallel races where two teams will be eliminated. This is the live chat thread for the season premiere.
