The Amazing Race Season 25 Episode 8

Hi all! I would just want to continue the updates for this reality show. Anyway, last week, CBS did not release this episode, as the channel makes way for Hollywood Film Awards. So, here's the details.

Leg 8 (Italy → Malta)
Airdate: November 21, 2014

• Pozzallo (Port of Pozzallo) to Valletta, Malta(Grand Harbour)
• Valletta (Bridge Bar)
• Żurrieq (Zurrieq Valley Sea Inlet)
• Birgu (Church of St. Scholastica)
• Valletta (Fort Manoel)

At the start of the leg, teams were informed that they were to head to the island nation of Malta. Upon arrival in its capital city of Valletta, teams had to head to the Bridge Bar. At the bar, they were given a drink order from the bartender consisting of a bottle of liquor and two glasses. They then had to carry the order on a tray up Saint Ursula's staircase to the Upper Barrakka Gardens where a group of the Knights of Malta waited for their order. If either teammate dropped anything from their tray along the way up the steps, they would have to go back down to the Bridge Bar and pick up a broom and dustpan to clean up before the bartender would replace their broken items. Once teams successfully delivered the order to the Knights, they would give them their next clue, instructing them to head to a boathouse at theŻurrieq Valley Sea Inlet to pick up their next clue. What they found were a series of Maltese cross necklaces with times for the next morning marked on them, requiring teams to set up camp overnight.

The next morning, teams waited for their next clue, discovering that it was for the Roadblock, asking teams "Who's feeling blue?" One team member had to rappel down into the Blue Grotto, and once in the water swim into the cave to pick up their next clue. They then rejoined their teammates in waiting boats and were taken ashore where they discovered they were to pick up their next clue near the Church of St. Scholastica in Birgu.

Upon arrival, they found the Speed Bump and a Blind Detour, which only gave teams the names of their choices: Flag or Shine. For their Speed Bump, Tim and Te Jay had to find a shield that they had to paint a Maltese cross on. Once they were done, they could go back and perform the Detour. Teams that chose Flag found that they were to participate in the traditional Maltese game of ġostra, running down a greased log over the harbor to grab flags. Once one team member managed to get a yellow flag and the other got a red flag, they were given their next clue. The teams that chose Shine discovered that instead they were going to polish a set of armor. After each getting a helmet and chestplate down from a wall near the Gate of Provence, teams had to put on the armor pieces and polish each other's armor while wearing it. Once the knights were pleased with their work, they would award them their next clue. The clues teams received directed them to the Pit Stop at Fort Manoel.
