"To Hell and Back"

**"To Hell and Back"** is the tenth episode of Sleepy's Amazing Race 8.

## Route Markers

**Pit Start:** The order of departure from the Fremantle Sailing Club are as follows:

1. Olwen and Brooke (11:47 pm)
2. Deirdre and Morgan (11:50 pm)
3. Ingrid and Beau (11:56 pm)
4. Clay and Eden (11:57 pm)
5. Leo and Tristan (11:58 pm)

**Route Info:** Teams must fly to Darwin. Upon arrival, teams must drive themselves to Crocodylus Park and wade through crocodile infested waters to retrieve their next clue.

**Speed Bump:** For arriving last on the previous leg, Leo and Tristan must complete a Speed Bump. This part wasn't in the actual episode but I imagine the Speed Bump to be some cool extra thing involving crocodiles.

**Yield:** Teams must drive themselves to Batchelor Airstrip to find their next clue. At Batchelor Airstrip, teams would have the option to Yield a team, forcing them to wait for an hourglass to run out before they can continue racing. Clay and Eden used the Yield on Olwen and Brooke.

**Roadblock:** *Who's willing to take the fall for their team?* The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must choose a plane and tandem skydive with an instructor at an altitude of 12,000 feet. Once they have landed, the instructor would give them their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

* Clay and Eden
* Deirdre and Morgan
* Ingrid and Beau
* Leo and Tristan
* Olwen and Brooke

   **Route Info:** Teams must drive themselves to Litchfield National Park and search among the Magnetic Termite Mounds to find their next clue.

**Detour:** Wet or Dry

For Wet, teams must drive six miles to a swimming hole called Buley Rockhole. Once there, teams must hike and swim one mile down a river infested with spiders and poisonous plants. At the end of the trek, they would find their next clue. This task was chosen by Leo and Tristan and Olwen and Brooke.

For Dry, teams must drive six miles on-road, then another six miles off-road to a rock formation known as The Lost City. Once there, teams must select a didgeridoo and follow the sound of music in the air to locate a nearby Aboriginal musician with a matching didgeridoo. The musician would then teach each team member to play a note on the didgeridoo. Once both team members have learned how to play the note, they would receive their next clue. This task was chosen by Clay and Eden, Deirdre and Morgan, and Ingrid and Beau.

**Pit Stop:** Teams must drive themselves to the Pit Stop at Lake Bennett Wilderness Resort. The winners of the leg won two one-year leases for Mercedes.

## Story

* Once again the teams get equalized, as is pretty common toward the end of The Race.
* All of the teams enter the crocodile park to retrieve their first clue from the crocodile-infested waters.
* Clay and Eden and Leo and Tristan retrieve their clues quickly, but Leo and Tristan also have a Speed Bump to complete before they can leave the crocodile park.
* While they're completing their Speed Bump, all the other teams pass them.
* Deirdre and Morgan and Clay and Eden are the first at the Roadblock, where they find a Yield. Obviously, both teams agree to Yield Olwen and Brooke, but Deirdre and Morgan don't want to get their hands dirty so Clay and Eden end up being the ones who officially do it.
* Eden finishes the Roadblock first, while Morgan has a lot of nerves and takes longer to complete it.
* Meanwhile, Olwen and Brooke reach the Roadblock to discover they've been Yielded. As they're forced to wait, Morgan and Beau each finish the Roadblock and Leo gets started on it.
* Clay and Eden reach the Detour and choose Dry, which requires more navigation to find but is faster to complete than its counterpart, Wet. Being good navigators, they finish the Detour quickly, find the Pit Stop, and then win the leg! Good job!
* Despite being Yielded, Olwen and Brooke are able to catch up to Ingrid and Beau and Deirdre and Morgan at the Detour.
* Olwen and Brooke and Ingrid and Beau finish the Detour, while Deirdre and Morgan get super lost looking for the Dry side of the Detour. This allows Leo and Tristan, who are still trailing from their Speed Bump, a chance to catch up.
* Eventually, it comes down to these two trailing teams.
* There's a super intense and exciting montage of the teams receiving their clues directing them to the Pit Stop and driving and stuff and then...
* Deirdre and Morgan reach the Pit Stop. Khil informs them that they are team number four and that they are still in The Race.
* Leo and Tristan get there later in last place for the second leg in a row. Unfortunately, these underdogs' nine lives (does that make them undercats?) have run out, and they are officially eliminated.
