The remaining ten teams took off from the Pit Stop at the Connemara Heritage Center in Ireland and were instructed to fly to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, nearly 600 miles away and then search the city's canals for a bridge. As the scramble for flights began, all teams secured an initial flight, but others did not make an early connecting flight. Once in the Netherlands, the teams were faced with Detour options involving either heavy lifting or careful searching. Some teams quickly completed their assigned tasks, while others became frustrated and either switched tasks or lost valuable time as they struggled to stick with the task they had chosen. The teams then traveled by bus to their next task, a Roadblock involving ditch vaulting. As the task required the racers to travel across a muddy pit, some found themselves getting very dirty. Afterwards, both team-members were required to ride in a Dutch cargo bike to the Durgerdam Yacht Club, the leg's Pit Stop. Some teams became last on the way, but ultimately one team was unable to overcome having lagged behind throughout the leg and was eliminated from the race.

The Amazing Race Show Summary

The Amazing Race is an adventure reality show hosted by Phil Keoghan that pits 10, 11, or 12 teams of 2 or 4 people against each other in a race around the world for approximately 40 days. In a leg, they go to destinations where they will complete a roadblock, a task where 1 person completes (Season 1-7) or 2 people (Season 8), a detour, where you have to decide between two tasks that are usually opposite of each other, and a miscellaneous task.

After they complete all these tasks, they will be directed to go to a Pit stop where they will have a 24 hour rest period where they will be able to eat, drink, sleep, and mingle with other teams. The last team to check into the Pit Stop usually is eliminated, but sometimes there is a non-elimination leg in which no one is eliminated. After all teams are eliminated except for 3, these three race to the finish line where the winning team wins 1 million dollars.
