Leg 7 (Morocco → Italy)

Airdate: November 7, 2014

• Marrakesh (Marrakesh Menara Airport) to Palermo, Sicily, Italy(Falcone–Borsellino Airport)
• Palermo (Teatro di Verdura (Italian)) (Overnight Rest)
• Palermo (Italian)
• Mondello, Palermo (Antico Stabilimento Balneare)

At the start of the leg, teams were told to fly to the Italian island of Sicily. Upon arrival in the regional capital of Palermo, they had to head to the Teatro di Verdura for their first clue. However, they found that they were to stay at the location overnight, taking a tambourine marked with a time for the next morning, and also instructing them to spend the night dancing thetarantella with a band of musicians. The next morning, teams left according to the time on their tambourine and were given their next clue which directed them to Villa Costanza where they encountered the Roadblock. One team member rode in a go-kart along the old route of the Targa Florio auto race around Mount Pellegrino. If they could complete the course within 4 minutes and 7 seconds, they would receive their next clue from racing legendNino Vaccarella. If not, they would have to follow the pace car back to the starting line and try again, around a 20 minute wait. Once the racers got their next clue, they would be driven back down the mountain to join their teammate at the Antico Stabilimento Balneare where they could open the clue, finding it for the Detour: Painters or Posers. Only four teams at a time could participate in the Painters Detour, forcing other teams to choose the Posers Detour instead. In Painters, teams traveled to the Tonnara Florio where they had to restore a fresco while lying on their backs on a high scaffolding, as Michelangelo (according to legend) did when painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Once the artist was pleased with their work, she would give them their next clue. In Posers, teams headed to the Teatro Politeama Garibaldi and watched a series of opera performers. They then had to head back stage and match the performers to their costumes, characters, and plays in the order the performers sang by writing down the answers in a playbook. Once the costumista judged their playbook correct, teams would receive their next clue. The clues they received directed them to the Pit Stop at the Villa Niscemi.
