Six
dating couples and five blind date couples start the race in Los
Angeles on a mud run obstacle course for a choice between two flights
to Tokyo, Japan. The detour makes the teams choose between executing
synchronized robotic choreography or fulfilling sake orders for
thirsty samurai. After a Blind U-Turn, teams race to a nondescript
parking space in Akihabara, where Phil waits at the pit stop with an
Express Pass for the first arriving team and a heartfelt “Sayonara”
to the last arriving team.
