The teams are still going on this leg of The Amazing Race, and are headed to Poland from Norway. The playing field is even again, which is great for bunnies Nicky and Kim, and not so great for Brandon and Adam, who had a pretty sizable lead after the pit stop.
At Solidary Square in Gdasnk, Poland, teams grab their clue and find out a Double U-Turn awaits them. First up, though, is a Detour with the choices being Pose or Polka. In Pose, teams stand still like statues and try to get the locals to give them money and in Polka, teams learn and perform a traditional dance. Watching Tim and Danny, and Leo and Jamal, performing as a couple was a definite highlight of the leg.
Nicky and Kim finish up Pose in record time and head to a harbor where the U-Turn awaits. They choose to continue without sending anyone back to do the other side of the Detour, as many teams after them do as well. Tim and Marie use the Express Pass to avoid being U-Turned, but Leo and Jamal and Brandon and Adam aren't so lucky to escape the disadvantage.
At the Road Block, one team member searches a huge apartment complex and tries a series of pastries until they come across one with red filling. Now there's a challenge I could get down with! Travis, Marie, and Amy all work together to complete it and it pays off since they end up being the first three teams to arrive at the pit stop at Sopot Pier, the longest wooden pier in Europe.
Teams finish in the following order:
1. Tim and Marie (win a trip to Hawaii)
2. Jason and Amy
3. Nicole and Travis
4. Nicky and Kim
5. Tim and Danny
6. Leo and Jamal
7. Ally and Ashley
8. Brandon and Adam
It's a devastating loss for Brandon and Adam, who arrived at the previous pit stop in first place. Phil didn't deliver the news they wanted to hear and the bearded wonders are eliminated from the race.
The Amazing Race airs Sundays at 8/7c on CBS.
