amazing race season 1 episode 8

5 teams leave the taj khema hotel for the nearby taj mahal which reduces frank and margaritas lead to about 45 minutes (from 11 hours) and finding the clue is tricky. joe/bill have cab problems as does rob/brennan. the next clue sends them to the palace of the winds in jaipur by bus or taxi With the taxi being quicker and cheeper as joe/bill have money problems they take the bus. kevin/drew hide their clue from nancy/emily and then can’t find it not that smart. rob/brennan are 1st to the detour of either riding an elephant to the amber fort or a row boat to a water pallace they and nancy/emily choose elephant the others do the row boat. joe/bills hour lead over kevin/drew is gone by the row boat. the next clue sends them by train to bikaner and than by taxi to deshnoke to a rat temple. with only two trains per day joe/bill and nancy/emily fall 6 hours behind with the 9pm train (the others take the 3pm train) (joe/bill get there just 1 miunte too late and kevin/drew just get there two minutes before maybe). nancy/emily have problems getting tickets. the roadblock is looking for a clue in the temple not that hard despite the noise. the pitstop is bikaner which is a non-elim leg with nancy/emily just last by minutes.

  1. kevin and drew (3rd 1st place finish)
  2. frank and margarita
  3. rob and brennan
  4. joe and bill
  5. nancy and emily (non-elim leg)

next time a luck based fast forward some big mistakes by over half the teams will lead to a big gap.
