Waiting for the bus led to their downfall, as Cindy & Rick were eliminated in The Amazing Race 27 Episode 7.
Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.
First: Justin & Diana – 10:10PM
Second: Kelsey & Joey – 10:23PM
Third: Tiffany & Krista – 10:24PM
Fourth: Tanner & Josh – 11:34PM
Fifth: Logan & Chris – 12:11AM
Sixth: Denise & James Earl – 12:36AM
Teams must now fly to Krakow, Poland. All teams are on the same flight, aside from Justin & Diana, whose 13 minute head start gives them a big flight advantage.
The detour is a choice between mine and music. In mine, teams must travel underground, deliver timber to a mining area, and then mine and deliver salt. In music, teams must learn a song and then move a piano to the square to earn money playing.
Mine: Justin & Diana, Logan & Chris, Tanner & Josh
Music: Denise & James Earl, Tiffany & Krista, Kelsey & Joey
In this case, the physical task seems to be the worse choice. Surprisingly, only the cheerleaders appear to struggle at charming money out of people, but not enough to prevent the Texas boys from ending up in last.
Following a visit to Schnidler’s office, the road block requires teams to deliver food to a restaurant.
Road block (in order of arrival): Justin, Kelsey, James Earl, Chris, Tiffany, Josh
The only chore here is figuring out what all the food is. They can just ask people who are walking by. For some reason, as they are fighting for last place, Tiffany asks Josh if he wants to work with her. And then Josh slows down and lets her go first, which guarantees him last place.
The pit stop for this leg of the race is Klezmer Hois, the restaurant where they just got done serving.
First: Justin & Diana (win a trip to China)
Second: Kelsey & Joey
Third: Denise & James Earl
Fourth: Logan & Chris
Fifth: Tiffany & Krista
Non-eliminated: Tanner & Josh
I was thinking how dumb it was that the detour choice by itself looked like it was going to cost them, but in the end, it was being nice guys and letting a pretty face get ahead. Despite that, Tanner & Josh have been saved by non-elimination.
