Amazing Race, Ep. 25.8

Leg 8: Sicily > Malta

Misti & Jim lead it off

Route Info
Teams have to each carry a heavy tray with drinks up stairs. If anything breaks, they have to clean it up and start over.

Most teams have to do it more than once.

Roadblock: Into the Blue
One team member will repel down a cliff, and then search the water below for their next clue.

Alli was first to get down and find the clue. Misti and Tim were next.

It is amazing to see how fast Bethany can swim with only one arm. She was the first to make it down the rope from the second group. She smoked Amy and Robbie.

Robbie was ahead of Amy, but she passed him swimming back to the boat. That was pretty impressive.

Detour: Flag or Shine
They got no description for either one, so they had nothing to go on when picking which one to do.

Flag: walk on a long pole, that was greased, over water and grab 2 flags off a long pole

Tim & Te Jay see the flag challenge, but realize they didn't get the clue. Once they find the clue, they also find their Speed Bump. For their Speed Bump, they have to paint shields with a design.

Misti & Jim also didn't find the clue before starting the flag challenge, so they stop and look for the clue. Since this challenge was hard, they now know they don't want to go back to that one.

Kym & Alli start the challenge, but decide to switch.

Adam and Bethany choose to use their Express Pass instead of completing the flag challenge. I'm not really sure why they didn't even attempt the challenge. They weren't in last place or anything. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I think this might be the last leg they can use it...that would make sense.

Tim & Te Jay can't get the 2nd flag. They have been at this for hours. They don't want to switch because they've wasted so much time on this challenge. Both are getting frustrated with each other. Eventually, they do switch.

Shine: polish armor, while wearing the armor. I thought this one looked easier than the other one, but it was really taking a long time to get the armor completely clean and shiny.

Brooke & Robbie appear to not have that much more to do, but they decide to switch to Flag. After a couple attempts, they give up and come back to the Shine task.

Misti & Jim are the first to complete the task, followed by Kym & Alli. Amy & Maya finish, leaving Brooke & Robbie. Brooke & Robbie were frustrated to be the last team...but then in walks Tim & Te Jay, and suddenly their chances got a whole lot better.

2. Misti & Jim
3. Kym & Alli
4. Amy & Maya
5. Brooke & Robbie
6. Tim & Te Jay - eliminated
