The remaining teams continue in the eighth leg of the race, taking off from their Pit Stop at the Boboli Gardens in Florence, Italy. They receive a clue instructing them to fly 4,000 miles to Mumbai, India and then travel by rickshaw to a newspaper stand, where they must search the Times of India for an advertisement that shows their next destination. Though teams struggle valiantly for airport placement, all placements are neutralized by the newspaper stand's 6 A.M. opening time. After finding the advertisement, teams travel by auto-rickshaw to the Chauhan Tailors where they find themselves faced with a Detour that involves either posting a massive poster or creating a flowery garment. One team also faces an additional task for having come in last in the previous leg. The second of two U-Turns appears and teams find a Roadblock that requires one member of each team to do some heavy hauling. An intense race ensues to the Pit Stop at the Bandra Fort. Ultimately, one team is unable to overcome an earlier strategic blunder and is 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.
