Amazing Race, Ep. 23.8

Leg 8: Abu Dhabi

Leo & Jamal lead off the 8th leg.

The coins they picked up in Norway have symbols on them. They have to put them in the right order in order to get a code to put into their SUVs , by matching up the images on the coins to the sequence on the bag. Leo & Jamal had no problem figuring this out. Amy had figured this out a long time ago, and they didn't even need to get the coins out, because she had the code memorized. Wow!

Ally & Ashley didn't get what they were supposed to do, and leave after Nicky & Kim, but not by much.

The teams have to drive dune buggies on a course through the desert to find their next clue. Leo & Jamal stay ahead of Nicole & Travis, and Nicole & Travis get stuck in the sand for a bit. Ally & Ashley go almost head to head, but Ally & Ashley pull ahead after Nicky & Kim get REALLY stuck in the sand and have to dig themselves out by hand! Help was sent to them, and it turns out they burnt their clutch, so they had to get a new vehicle.

Detour: Wedding Guests or Beauty Contest
In Wedding Guests, they have to assemble and prepare ingredients and once approved, serve it to wedding guests. In Beauty Contest they have to select a camel that looks similar to a picture and then dress it; if it's a winner, they pass.

Nicole & Travis use their Express Pass to skip the Detour. This put them ahead of Leo & Jamal, so they decide to U-Turn them. They don't like the way they have been playing the game, and because they lied to them. Remember, this is not the first time Leo & Jamal have been U-Turned on this race. That's a bummer.

Tim & Marie think they have a winner, but something wasn't right, so Tim was kicked in the shin all for nothing with that first camel. Jason & Amy also fail on their first attempt.

While looking for the tower and their next clue, Tim & Marie run into Leo & Jamal who were doing the Wedding Guest task. Leo & Jamal freaked out and thought theirs was taking so long, so they decide to switch (little do they know, they have been U-Turned and will end up having to do both any way).

Meanwhile, Tim & Marie are still running around looking for the next clue. Finally they find it, and they choose to U-Turn Nicky & Kim because of something that happened at an airport a few legs ago.

Nicky & Kim start out doing the Beauty Contest but think it's going to be too hard, so they switch to the Wedding Guest task. They run into Leo & Jamal, who lie to them and say they have only been there for about 15 minutes.

After completing the Wedding Guest task, they see that they have been U-Turned. They are already in last place, so this doesn't look good for them...even though they seemed to sail right through the Beauty Contest task.

Road Block: Ride the Rapids
They have to ride the class 4 rapids and collect all 3 flags along the course.

Speed Bump
Nicky & Kim must complete an extra task since they came in last in the last non-elimination leg. They each have to jump into a wave pool that creates huge waves and swim across it, and then climb up a ladder.
