Episode 8 recap.

Leg 8 starts in South African Republic.

1st clue: fly to Cape Town, you'll find the next clue as soon as you arrive.

All teams were on the same flight.

Next clue: get up to the mountain

then take a picture of Cape of good hope and trade it for a postcard (which must be sent to Kiev) and for the next clue.

However you may get up the mountain only using cableway. Each cabin could transfer only 2 teams at a time. + the cableway was available since 7am only:


1st cabin (7am): Ihor and Vasil,  Boobs
2nd cabin (7.20am): Alexey and Olena, Father and Son.
3rd cabin (7.40am): Doctors

Standings after sending the postcards:

1st Boobs
2nd Ihor and Vasil
3rd Alexey and Olena
4th Father and son
Last: Doctors

Roadblock: make a skydive


Boobs had some difficulties with finding an airport before the roadblock, and they asked a local to take a ride with them, however rules state that your team can not consist of 3 or more people, which meant Boobs broke the rules.


Standings after a roadblock:
1st Boobs (not knowing they'll have penalty)
2nd Father and son
3rd Ihor and Vasil
4th Olena and Alexey
Last: Doctors

Next clue:  Teams had to go to a local park and cook a meal for a little penguin. The meal consists of 20 ingredients.


Standings after feeding:
1st Boobs (still having no clue about being penalized later)
2nd Ihor and Vasil
3rd Father and son
4th Doctors
Last: Alexey and Olena

Next clue: find "omega" store in a particular district and receive the next clue.


Next clue: shave heads of 2 locals in order to receive the next clue.


Standings after shaving:
1st Boobs
2nd Father and son
3rd Ihor and Vasil
4th Doctors
Last: Alexey and Olena

Next clue:  go to local market and find dancers in red clothes


Standings after finding the dancers:

1st Boobs (still breaking the rule traveling with a local)
2nd Father and Son
3rd Ihor and Vasil
4th Alexey and Olena
Last: Doctors

Detour: glimmer or taste

Glimmer: find the 1st diamond ever discovered in south african republic among hundreds of other diamonds in the museum.
   

Taste: cook a traditional local food.

Standings after detour (all teams picked glimmer):
1st Boobs
2nd Father and Son
3rd Ihor and Vasil
4th  Alexey and Olena
Last: Doctors

Next clue: go to the finish line (Rhodes Memorial).

Final standings:

1st Boobs (unbelievable: they arrived 1st, received a 1 hour penalty due to known reasons, and still won the leg)


2nd Father and son


3rd Ihor and Vasil


4th Alexey and Olena


Last to arrive: Doctors.


But that was a NEL.
5 teams continue their race around the world.

lol, beauty queens getting first despite a penalty. EPIC. They must've really been hauling butt. Or the other teams were just sucking. Or a combination of both. I LOVE IT.

And eww at another NEL.

Why did Valeria & Bohdana shave three locals' heads? Did the young boy not count for some reason?

The young boy didn't count because teams had to shave only those locals who were "marked" with yellow/red armlet. I guess "marked" locals were part of production crew or something like that, I mean, they knew they would be shaved. However Boobs picked the young boy which had no armlet, therefore it did not count. When girls realized they misread the rules, they asked him to leave and it sounded a little bit rude. After the girls completed the task, they regretted their behavior and bought some candies for all the children there.

Is there a reason why teams don't always leave the pitstop in the same order they arrive in?

Maybe there is, but it's not explained to the viewers.

I'm hoping there will be sort of reunion where all mysteries will be uncovered.

However I've done some research (xD) and here is its result:



You can see that actually Father and Son stepped onto the mat before Alexey and Olena. Probably the rules don't allow one team to take place of another team even if both teams agree on that.

Leg 9 recap.

1st clue: fly to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, then go to main train station and search for your bike among hundreds of other bikes.


All teams were on the same flight.

1st to find their bike:
Ihor and Vasil
2nd: Boobs
3rd: Doctors
4th: Father and son
Last: Alexey and Olena

Next clue: go to Magere Brug (by bike) and there you'll find your next clue


Once again Ihor and Vasil allied with Boobs and decided to search for the bridge together.

1st to the bridge:
Ihor and Vasil
2nd: Boobs
3rd: father and son
4th: Doctors
Last: Alexey and Olena

Detour: hurdy-gurdy or cheese?

Cheese: transfer 400 kg of  cheese.


Hurdy-gurdy: after finding one of two street Dutch organs, one team member had to run the machine while the other asked for tips. Once they earned €30, the organ grinder would give them their next clue (we saw something similar in TAR 21):


Alliance of Boobs and Sportsmen broke when they realized that "cheese" detour can be performed by one team at a time. The 1st team which puts a piece of cheese onto huge scales becomes 1st and continues to do the task, while other teams will have to wait (as there were no more scales for other teams). Because of that, sportsmen and Boobs literally fought during the boat trip:

In the end sportsmen won this fight and arrived 1st, however it were Boobs who realized that 1st team is not the team who arrives before the others. In order to become 1st, you need to put a piece of cheese on the scales, so, while sportsmen were arguing with doctors who followed them, the girls reached the scales 1st and got the opportunity to complete the detour, while Doctors and Sportsmen had to wait. Then, having realized how much time it takes to transfer all 400kg of cheese, Sportsmen decided to change the detour.

Standings after detour:
1st Boobs (cheese)
2nd Doctors (hurdy-gurdy)
3rd Father and Son (cheese)
4th Sportsmen (hurdy-gurdy)
Last: Alexey and Olena (cheese)

Next clue: take a picture near "Brouwerij 't IJ" mill with two locals.
Then trade the picture for a postcard, send it to Kiev and receive the next clue

Note: the whole mill has to be in the picture. If one of its part is missing (like in the picture above), the post officer won't give neither the postcard nor the next clue.
Sportsmen misread that note and their picture was not accepted.

Standings after sending postcards:
1st: Boobs
2nd: Alexey and Olena
3rd: Father and Son
4th: Doctors
Last:  Sportsmen

Roadblock: teammember had to eat 5 fishes. Moreover, he/she was blind-folded and couldn't use his/her hands.


Standings after the roadblock:
1st: Boobs
2nd: Alexey and Olena
3rd: Doctors
4th: Father and Son
Last: Sportsmen

Next clue: take a bike and proceed to the finish



Standings at finish

1st Boobs


2nd Alexey and Olena


3rd Father and Son


4th Doctors (they arrived 1st,  but, as they were marked for the elimination, they received a 1 hour penalty)


Last: Ihor and Vasil - ELIMINATED

Man, that's bogus! The Marked for Elimination penalty only applies if they don't get first. Come on, producers. The doctors should have won the leg.

Detour: walk or ride.

Ride: take a ride on an old polish car. One team member must be on a driver's seat, the other must push the car helping his/her
teammate. + there must be a local inside the car.
   

Walk: count the stairs in two towers (there are 352 steps, however, in order to complete the task, teams might say 350-354).


Doctors asked for help when they tried to complete the "Ride", but it was forbidden and they didn't receive the clue. They were too tired for the 2nd attempt and decided to change the detour. But they failed there too and changed the task once again.

Father and son failed "walk" detour and changed it after 1st attempt.

Standings after detour:
1st Boobs (Walk)
2nd Father and son (ride)
3rd Alexey and Olena (ride)
Last: Doctors (ride)

Next clue: find your next clue near the "Pope's arc".

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! They were in the lead for most of the leg! They still would have been in the lead if they just rested a bit and tried the car again!  :( I guess I'm rooting for Alexey and Olena now. They've got to win at least one leg.

It looks like they're going to the Czech Republic, going off the mines. They can't have a MFE penalty for the final leg, can they?

I hope so, however it makes the next leg senseless. Until it's a double-length leg though.

First comment) It happened again, Constantine & Jacob left the pitstop 3rd despite arriving 2nd. Weird, I wonder why.

Second) What was Alexey & Olena's relationship before if he proposed just now? I was under the impression that they were already married.

Third) The preview for the finale showed something that probably counts as a spoiler for the finishing order.
Show content
In one shot of the finish line it's bright, but then it's dark when a certain blue-wearing team shows up. Not that anyone would be surprised at that bit of information.


Still rooting for Alexey & Olena to win! A Beauty Queen win would be so boring and predictable.

They were just life partners, for some reason they decided not to marry.

Yeah, Wikipedia said they were "common-law married", meaning they resided together in the same house and lived their lives as if they were married to each other, but were not legally married.
