Justin & Diana made some critical mistakes but still managed to survive in The Amazing Race 27 Episode 11, as Tiffany & Krista were eliminated.
Teams must now fly to Long Island. All teams are on the same flight.
Justin is looking forward to this. He’s from New York. Then again, it’s Justin. He’s cocky about everything.
The road block requires teams to take on a New York fire department training exercise. Then they have to put the capital cities in the order in which they visited them.
Road block (in order of arrival): Justin, Chris, Joey
An interesting high adrenaline task but not one that should make much difference. The cab drama afterwards may, though.
Justin dismissed his cab earlier because he didn’t want to pay him to wait around. Then Logan & Chris’ cab goes missing, so they try to steal Kelsey & Joey’s cab but get caught. Logan is not happy and screams as usual. She doesn’t understand why Chris was unwilling to stay in the cab when confronted, and she wanted to cheat to win. Both of these teams will have to take a bus to find a cab.
Chris keeps his firefighter pants and boots on, and as he’s getting in the helicopter to the Hamptons, he removes them. Barefoot in New York is probably not a smart idea.
After heading out to a lobster boat, teams must replace the lobster pots. Then the second memory task, flags from the race.
Throughout these tasks, Kelsey & Joey retain their lead from the cab debacle. Logan & Chris had been in second place, but they fall apart on the flags, failing to realize for some time that there is no African flag, since Africa is not a country.
Their final task is to build some chairs, then arrange the pictures on them in chronological order. By the time Justin & Diana arrive, Kelsey & Joey have about 2/3 of the chairs completed.
The Amazing Race 27 winners are Kelsey & Joey. Justin & Diana place second, and Logan & Chris are third.
Kelsey & Joey ran a strong race, though they kept placing second, minutes behind someone else each time. Justin & Diana looked like they were going to win after placing first seven times, but they made some big mistakes when it counted. And Logan, she still doesn’t think Chris should have given the cab back.
Next year’s twist: more teams that the producers found on social media.
