"The Longer You're In There, The Colder You Get"

**"The Longer You're In There, The Colder You Get"** is the third episode of Sleepy's Amazing Race 8.

## Story

* This leg started by requiring teams to find a farm on the side of the highway where they'd need to zipline to receive their next clue.
* However, all of the teams were released before the farm opened, so they were all equalized while waiting for it to open.
* Once the farm opened, Leo and Tristan, Alexa and Daniel, and Auster and Ayla were the first teams to complete the zipline and receive their clue directing them to fly to Moscow, Russia.
* However, these three teams all got lost looking for the airport, allowing Milania and Rex, Olwen and Brooke, and Ingrid and Beau to score the only tickets on the first flight to Moscow.
* Deirdre's fear of heights once again showed itself, causing her and Morgan to fall to the back of the pack.
* All of the remaining teams were on the second flight to Moscow, arriving one hour later.
* Once in Moscow, the three teams on the first flight obviously took an early lead. From the Roadblock to the start of the Detour, Milania and Rex remained in first, Olwen and Brooke in second, and Ingrid and Beau in third.
* At the Detour, however, Milania and Rex and Ingrid and Beau both selected a solely luck-based task, where as Olwen and Brooke opted for the harder to find but more teamwork-task. Also, Auster and Ayla from the second flight had somehow caught up? And they chose the luck task too.
* Ingrid and Beau had amazing luck and found their clue *immediately*. They were able to maintain that lead and win their first leg! They also made sure to knock over all the dolls Milania and Rex had to search through just to gain the upper hand in their rivalry.
* Meanwhile, the second flight teams were doing their dang thing.
* Janelle and Sable and Alexa and Daniel ran a pretty good leg, finishing at the front of the middle of the pack (no that was not worded confusingly at all).
* Javin and Arcus and Leo and Tristan ran a much worse leg than the aforementioned teams.
* Javin and Arcus fell super far behind immediately as Javin struggled a *LOT* with the Roadblock. Apparently, they're not a very good diver.
* Leo and Tristan were fine at the Roadblock, but they got incredibly lost looking for the Detour.
* In the end, it came down to these two teams at the same side of the Detour at the same time. The team that cleaned their trolleybus the fastest and found the Pit Stop first was...
* Leo and Tristan! They narrowly survived yet another leg but maintained their positive attitude and love for each other! They also vowed to do better but let's face it, at this point the bar for them is pretty dang low.
* Javin and Arcus eventually made it to the Pit Stop, where host of The Race, Khil, told them that they were the last team to arrive... and they have been eliminated.
* Javin apologized profusely for letting their teammate down, but Arcus told them it wasn't their fault and that he still had a great time with them.
