Tanner & Josh literally handed away second to last place to the cheerleaders in The Amazing Race 27 Episode 8 and should have gone home but were saved by non-elimination.
Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.
First: Justin & Diana – 10:04PM
Second: Kelsey & Joey – 12:58AM
Third: Denise & James Earl – 12:59AM
Fourth: Logan & Chris – 1:50AM
Fifth: Tiffany & Krista – 2:02AM
Sixth: Tanner & Josh – 2:03AM
Teams must now fly to New Delhi, India. Any time advantage the lead team has is being erased.
Logan & Chris are doing a lot of talking about the U-turn. Justin happily uses this excuse to stir the pot.
The road block requires teams to wash laundry in the river.
Road block (in order of arrival): Krista, Chris, Denise, Tanner & Josh, Joey, Diana
As their speed bump, Tanner & Josh must both do the road block. This is an interesting punishment, likely much longer than the typical speed bump.
The detour is a choice between cans or candy. In cans, teams must load gas cans on a cargo bike and deliver them. In candy, teams must make candy out of pumpkins.
Cans: Kelsey & Joey, Justin & Diana
Candy: Logan & Chris, Tiffany & Krista, Denise & James Earl, Tanner & Josh
Learning how to make candy seems to be simpler than trying to travel through the chaotic streets of India, but there doesn’t seem to be much advantage to one over the other, bad news for the Texas boys, but their last hope is the U-turn.
Justin & Diana are the first team to arrive and do not need to U-turn. Joey & Kelsey U-turn Tanner & Josh, whose cause is completely lost now. I don’t think there was any need for that, but they did just take out one of the more threatening teams, at least on paper.
The pit stop for this leg of the race is Moonlight Garden, across the way from the Taj Mahal.
First: Justin & Diana (win a trip to Hawaii)
Second: Kelsey & Joey
Third: Logan & Chris
Fourth: Tiffany & Krista
Fifth: Denise & James Earl
Eliminated: Tanner & Josh
Tanner & Josh never really had a chance. They played themselves out of this game last week, giving into what they acknowledge is their weakness, pom poms.
