Tanner & Josh basically volunteered to finish in last place the prior week, and unlike the normal speed bump that takes 10 minutes, both of them had to complete the road block in The Amazing Race 27 Episode 9, virtually assuring their elimination.
Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.
First: Justin & Diana – 5:10PM
Second: Kelsey & Joey – 5:18PM
Third: Logan & Chris- 5:23PM
Fourth: Tiffany & Krista – 6:00PM
Fifth: Denise & James Earl – 6:28PM
It’s India, part two.
The road block requires teams to blow up balloons and deliver them on a bike.
Road block (in order of arrival): Justin, Joey, Logan, Tiffany, James Earl
Before the road block, Chris asks Logan to see the clue. She refuses. It’s hers, and he doesn’t need to know what’s going on. Throughout the task, she keeps snapping at him. What a team.
This is the first time there has been a third U-turn on the race, and the arrival at the U-turn board is pretty much pre-determined by departure time. Kelsey & Joey are the more threatening team, but Justin got into some U-turn drama with Logan & Chris last week and wants to make sure they go home, although Denise & James Earl are so far behind that it’s going to be tough for them to catch up.
The detour is a choice between bring the groom or bring the fun. In bring the groom, teams must carry an electric candelabra and push a generator. In bring the fun, teams must deliver a carnival ride.
Bring the fun: Justin & Diana, Logan & Chris
Bring the groom: Kelsey & Joey, Tiffany & Krista, Denise & James Earl
Both physical and chaotic tasks of running through the streets. The generator seems to take more effort to push, but neither appears to offer a significant advantage.
The pit stop for this leg of the race is somewhere nearby.
First: Justin & Diana (win $5,000 each)
Second: Kelsey & Joey
Third: Tiffany & Krista
Fourth: Logan & Chris
Eliminated: Denise & James Earl
The U-turn made it more interesting than it would have been otherwise, but Denise & James Earl still never had much hope. Logan lives to yell another day.
