The race field is cut to five. Who's next?

Season 29, Episode 8

Venice/Greece – Quickly, quickly, a look back on an episode that found its way to Athens and the original Olympic stadium.

Tara and Joey, aka Mom and Pop, took first. That's good.

Tara

Team Fun started to refer to itself in the third person. That's bad.

Liz and Michael are finally gone (taking Team Showers out of the pool). They had finished last twice before in non-elmination rounds. Not so lucky this time. Life is hard.

Next to go? Scott and Brooke. He's patient. She's fragile. Stay tuned.

Here’s a summary, entirely in dialogue, of an episode which saw a double U-turn, a steep climb up 250 steps, goats around the neck, a Greek wedding, some ceremonial marching:

Scott (Brooke’s partner): Our relationship is unlike any other I

Scott

have in my non-race life.

Tara: Not too shabby for a bunch of old farts.

Mike: You can’t read that map, dude.

Becca: A great sense of relief just washed over Team Fun.

Brooke: I stepped in poop; that’s probably good luck.

London: How can you U-turn Team Fun?

Brooke

Brooke: I’m not a runner. I’m going to die.

Becca: We’re Team Fun. No one wants to U-turn Team Fun.

Michael: The stairs. The bastard stairs.

Brooke: I’m dying, and I still haven’t peed.

Michael: it’s a butchery challenge. That’s what I do every day. Intestines are my bread and butter.

Order of finish:

1)    Tara and Joey

2)    Matt and Redmond

3)    Brooke and Scott

4)    London and Logan

5)    Becca and Floyd

6)    Liz and Michael
