Welcome to the forum Abby
. I don't know I think its too early to assume that its credentials that are lost this episode, it could be cBS hype and much to do about nothing but we shall see?
Here's the EP8 preview (when ready) for Michael.

Thanks for the preview link. How funny is it that Starr seems to have a stronger stomach than Nick? And Terrence may be explaining why they chose to abandon the FF.

This may not be conclusive, but the red clue here make it look like the crane task is a Roadblock.
Also, cranes are parked at the gate where the teams are waiting to get in.

Can anyone read the name on the gate where everybody is rushing in (pix on on page 2)? Is that the gate to the chicken farm - it looks like the same building in the background. There's at least 3 chicken farms in Almaty :

press release:Roadblock with over 30,000 chickens awaits, and one Team makes a risky move that could prove to be either a game changer or the end of the road, on THE AMAZING RACE 13, Sunday, Nov. 16 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network
CBS tells us the Roadblock is the Golden egg *insert missing chicken emote here*
Green Bazaar ...maybe

I think it's the first one you mentioned. I heard Tina say "alel agro chicken factory," which spots it
here (for some reason, I can't connect with the expat street map I had been using). The company website is
here (no Eng version that I could find). Almaty Kus is the company, Alel is the brand.

Here is my guess at where the Pit Stop is. It's opposite the Old Government House that they drove the crane past.

Nope, I think the interviews are done at a different location, maybe where they spend the night.

I can see that happening Chateau
And maybe part of the Roadblock, like you mentioned, is taking the golden egg to point b to get your next clue to the Detour?
So maybe the Nomads and Falcon are window dressings, like the teams first task of the day?
Hit hours of operation
Roadblock/Golden Egg = we see Toni and Tina egging it
>> Cranes (maybe a part of the Roadblock?)= we see Toni and Dallas / Dandrew
Fast Forward/ sheep ass = Nick and Starr / Terence and Sarah
one Detour dress up like a cow in search of a milk stand
possible Detour, something to do with the cranes or something to do with the Nomads and Falcon
This may not be conclusive, but the red clue here make it look like the crane task is a Roadblock.
Also, cranes are parked at the gate where the teams are waiting to get in.

I would not be able to do a Fast-Forward like that one! Trust me! I'm very finicky with my food -- always have been.

If it helps with the searches, the rough address of the chicken farm is:
Первомайская Промзона (1st of May Street?)
Илийский район (Iliiskii district)
It's bringing up other businesses in the vicinity, but no location yet...

The front of the vehicle is no help: it's just a

Toni and Dallas seem to be doing both detours. Could there be another Yield this episode?

^^ you mean a U-Turn? I guess anything is possible? but I think the cranes are related to the egg somehow who knows?

I'm quite confused about which is the Roadblock. The website clue says the golden egg is. But Andrew and Dan seems to be holding on to a Roadblock clue on the truck.
Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever...
