The

six remaining teams traveled north from Rome, where the detour

presented the choice of riding or building a donkey. The Double

U-Turn played a prominent role in this leg, strengthening the bonds

between some teams and elevating the conflicts between others. The

roadblock required one team member to hand-copy a manuscript page,

pre-Gutenberg style. At the Piazza del Duomo, the Pit Stop for this

leg, the only thing missing was a formal declaration of war as the

field was reduced to five teams.
