Episode 8 title
Racing reportAmazing Race Season 27, Episode 8, "I'm gonna get you"Film date: 2015-07-05 - 2015-07-06The episode starts with a previously unseen scene from the last leg where Diana feels like she let Justin down because they ended up in the middle of the pack after the road block. "She was worried abut letting me down, the only way she could let me down is if she quits", Justin does not share that feelingThe last pit stop was at the Peace Palace in Hague, Netherlands. Teams are released from this place, after what seems like a 36h pit stop, in the following order:1.Justin & Diana 22:102.Kelsey & Joey 22:23+0:133.Tiffany & Krista 22:24+0:144.Tanner & Josh 23:34+1:245.Logan & Chris 00:11+2:016.Denise & James Earl 00:36+2:26Route info: "Fly to Kraków, Poland". Once they land teams must find Kraków beach and a converted barge at Plaza Kraków.The route info also reads: "To get there book your flights through the Travelocity mobile app". Teams are now given mobile phones to be able to book their flights. After booking flights all teams travel to Schiphol where they have to spend the night. The next day teams fly out on two different sets of flights. "I've been preparing for 13 years to be on this race", Justin thinks he is well prepared "It's more difficult that we ever could imagine. Whatever you think you know, I promise you don't have any idea what it really is to run this race", Josh about the race "But Justin does", TannerFlight #1 is probably: LH2311 AMS-MUC 2015-07-06 07:30 - 08:41 (scheduled 07:00 - 08:25) LH1622 MUC-KRK 2015-07-06 11:23 - 12:34 (scheduled 11:20 - 12:40)This carries: Justin & DianaFlight #2 is probably: KL1363 AMS-WAW 2015-07-06 10:07 - 11:47 (scheduled 09:45 - 11:40) LO3905 WAW-KRK 2015-07-06 13:16 - 14:14 (scheduled 13:00 - 13:55)[/tt]This carries: Tanner & Josh Denise & James Earl Logan & Chris Tiffany & Krista Kelsey & Joey "Everybody welcome to Taxi television. We're in Poland trying to find Kraków beach", Joey falls into his newscaster role "Pom poms and miniskirts are our weakness", Tanner & Josh when their taxi catches up with Tiffany & KristaKraków beach turns out to be a patch of sand up on land by the river. The converted barge floats in the river and contains a swimming pool. The next clue lies at the bottom of the pool. Justin puts on his bathing suit an dives in after it. The other teams arrive significantly later and do feel the pressure so none of them bothers with the swimwear, they just jump in.Teams retrieve the clue here in the following order: 1. Justin & Diana 2. Logan & Chris, long after #1 have left 3. Tanner & Josh 4. Tiffany & Krista 5. Kelsey & Joey 6. Denise & James Earl, within a minute after #2Detour: Mine or MusicIn Mine teams must make their way to Wieliczka salt mine (12km 16min). Here they must change into work clothes and ride an elevator 1000' underground. Down here they must first carry a big piece of timer a distance. Then load a mining cart with salt before finally pushing another full cart all the way back. This is a very physical detour and no finesse is needed. The actual task i the mine probably took around 20-30 minutes.In music teams must make their way to the old town square (2.3km 7min) where they will get a lesson from a violinist on how to accompany him on the piano. Once they have mastered this they must push their piano (which is on a small wheeled cart) to a performance area where they must earn 100 Zloty ($25 USD).One could think that the music task is about learning to play the piano, but that is actually very easy. The real challenge is to transport the piano over cobblestones and other obstacles and then finally to beg passersby for money.The first challenge turns out to be to get to the detour location. Some teams have a very hard time finding a taxi. Partly because the closest road is a major thoroughfare where cars drive quickly. Teams must venture further away to find taxis. "This is actually pretty cool, smells like a zoo", Diana in the salt mine "Now i know what they mean when they say backbreaking work", Justin when he starts shoveling salt "I played it for about 13 years", James Earl has taken piano lessons "What if something comes down?", Logan is worried in the salt mine "Then it crushes our legs and we're paralyzed for life and we keep asking ourselves why did we do it?", Chris has a morbid streak "Ouch, my finger, my finger", Krista's hand is caught when the lid of the piano falls downTanner & Josh have a bad day. First they are last to find a taxi after the pool and then the taxi drops them off at the wrong location. So when they finally arrive at the mine Logan & Chris are about to leave. "They are just arriving, tell them it was easy", Logan when she sees Tanner & JoshSurprisingly Tiffany & Krista have a hard time with the music detour. It seems as if they just can not convince people to give them money. "Everybody is running away, maybe I'm being too aggressive?", Krista "We need a group of guys", Tiffany "You have to play up your strengths so Tiffany took it to the next level", Krista about Tiffany starting to give out kisses to the cheekTeams complete the detour in the following order: 1(+0) Justin & Diana, mine 2(+3) Kelsey & Joey, music 3(+3) Denise & James Earl, music 4(-2) Logan & Chris, mine 5(-1) Tiffany & Krista, music 6(-3) Tanner & Josh, mineRoute info: "Make your way to the Oskar Schindler factory where Schindler was able to protect and save lives of over a thousand Jewish workers and their families."Teams arrive to the factory in the following order: 1(+0) Justin & Diana 2(+0) Kelsey & Joey 3(+0) Denise & James Earl 4(+1) Tiffany & Krista 5(-1) Logan & Chris 6(+0) Tanner & JoshAt the Schindler factory teams are given a tour of the museum and given a moment of reflection before continuing the race. "To be there, to physically see the conditions they lived in, it gives you a true perspective on life", JustinRoute info: "Make your way to Szeroka 22 in the Jewish district and look for your next clue"Teams arrive at the next clue box (1.8km 7min) in the following order: 1(+0) Justin & Diana 2(+0) Kelsey & Joey 3(+0) Denise & James Earl 4(+0) Tiffany & Krista, after #4 is done 5(+0) Logan & Chris 6(+0) Tanner & Josh, just as Tiffany leave for her second attemptRoad block: Who can handle a big order?In this road block teams must act as waiters. They are given a list of dishes they have to bring from the kitchen. The list is something like: 1 Gefilte Fish 1x 2 Gesi Pipek 2x 3 Czulent 1x 4 Kugel 4x 5 Hamantashe 3x 6 Latkes 2x 7 Charoset 2xThey must then deliver all the food, in one go, to a party at the Klezmer-Hois 160m away.The real challenge in this task is to identify the dishes. In the kitchen there is a big table filled with dishes, none of them labeled and teams must figure out which they should put on their tray. "Oh man, this is gonna be tough", Justin when he sees all the prepared dishesSome contestants know some of the dishes and decide to guess the rest. This strategy is not really working. Instead all teams eventually end up asking other people around to explain what the dishes look like, or to google images of the dishes.Their partners are told to go directly to the Klezmer-Hois and wait outside.Kelsey and James Earl decide to work together. Which seems like a very smart idea since they have a good idea that they re not first and both want to stay ahead of the teams behind them. "This is scary", Krista finds that she is the only one waiting outside the Klezmer-HoisLogan & Chris start a big argument about who should do this road block. Logan wants to do it because she has worked as a waiter. Chris wants to do it so they get an even roadblock count. From this conversation it seems as if nobody may do more than 5 road blocks before the last leg. "Oh my god my arms", Tiffany find the tray heavy "I used to wait tables, but this is a whole different ballgame", JoshTiffany and Josh decide to work together. They hope to beat Chris who is also doing the task. Unfortunately for them Chris gets it while they are doing their research. "I didn't want it to come down to us", Tanner to Krista when they realize they are the last two teams "I couldn't even look at him because I felt so sad, one of us was going to be going home", KristaJosh turns out to be a gentleman and he lets Tiffany go first. Even though she is tired and walk slowly he waits for her. "You go first and see. You were here first", Josh to TiffanyTeams complete the road block in the following order (* denotes team member doing the roadblock):1(+0)Justin* & Diana (4-4)On his 1st attempt2(+0)Kelsey* & Joey (5-3)On her 1st attempt3(+0)Denise & James Earl*(3-5)On his 1st attempt4(+1)Logan & Chris* (4-3)On his 2nd attempt5(-1)Tiffany* & Krista (4-4)On her 3rd attempt6(+0)Tanner & Josh* (3-5)On his 1st attempt Route info: "Search for Phil in the Klezmer-Hois". Finding Phil is rather easy since teams are standing right outside the Klezmer-Hois when they get the clue. Inside they hear music and make their way to a dining room where Phil, the mat, a Klezmer band and a bunch of party goers await.Teams reach Phil in the following order: 1(+0) Justin & Diana, win a trip to Shanghai, China 2(+0) Kelsey & Joey 3(+0) Denise & James Earl 4(+0) Logan & Chris 5(+0) Tiffany & Krista 6(+0) Tanner & Josh, are saved by a non eliminationOn the mat Phil warns teams that there is a U-turn in the next leg. "And guess what? There is a U-turn in the next leg of the race, and I have a feeling that you might be team that they want to U-turn", Phil to Justin & DianaJustin & Diana were lucky to be the only team to get tickets on the first flight, and that this flight went without any delay. That way they were so far ahead meant that they could run a relatively relaxed leg in Poland and still not see any other teams at any point on the course.Things get very emotional with the last two teams. Tanner & Josh arrive only seconds after Tiffany & Krista. Tears are flowing because these teams are very close and they know they are the last two teams. They are all very relieved when Phil tells them this is a non elimination leg.
Leg 8The Detour choice "Music" involved a lot less travelling than the Detour choice "Mine" - 10km/6mi instead of 25km/16mi!
Last night on Twitter, Phil called next week a "very emotional show", which makes me think the visit to Schindler's factory will be something to do with the Holocaust, a moment of remembrance (like season 11)
Could this scene from the intro finally appear this leg?Could it be a match with "Lovers Bridge" on the River Vistula? #JustSpeculating

I would had liked if they did that task, in Paris at Pont des Arts insted.
