The Amazing Race – Season 32, Episode 8

By: Sammi Turano

This episode has our final five teams competing on CBS’s “The Amazing Race.” They will be heading to Siem Reap, Cambodia. As of right now all of the teams, minus Eswar and Aparna, have won at least one previous leg.

There will be a U-Turn in this episode, which Eswar and Aparna plan to use, as they say at this point it is every team for themselves. However, Riley and Maddison, Will and James and Hung and Chee are still in their alliance and plan to target Gary and DeAngelo.

Once the teams arrive they must find a Travelocity gnome to get their first clue. This leads to them fixing a tuk tuk for a driver and then getting their next clue, which has them board a boat and head to Chong Kneas Village.

James and Will and Hung and Chee are in the lead while Eswar and Aparna end up in last place. Riley and Maddision temporarily fall behind, but end up catching up. DeAngelo and Gary are also behind.

Hung and Chee steal first place from James and Will and deliver a basket in order to collect their next clue.

Detour! The choices are Fish (which requires teams to pull in over 3,000 feet of net and gather 15 kilograms of fish) or Farm (which requires teams to mix soils and plant local produce). Riley and Maddision, DeAngelo and Gary and Eswar and Aparna choose fish while Hung and Chee and Will and James choose Farm.

DeAngelo and Gary use the U-Turn against Eswar and Aparna. In order to prevent anyone else from getting U-Turned, Riley and Maddison use the other one on DeAngelo and Gary. Then, it is time to head to Khmer Floor Handicraft for their next clue.

Roadblock! The teams have to make fragile tiles and then complete a puzzle. DeAngelo puts him and Gary behind by not paying attention while James and Will get ahead by doing what they are supposed to in order to complete the task. However, despite initially messing up, Riley and Maddison finish first and head to the Pit Stop at Angkor Thom.

Riley and Maddison end up arriving first and winning a trip to Norway.

James and Will come in second place.

Chee and Hung come in third place.

DeAngelo and Gary come in fourth place. (despite hitting bad luck with traffic and struggling with the roadblock)

Eswar and Aparna come in last and are eliminated.
