"Can You Drink This Gasoline?"

"Can You Drink This Gasoline?" is the second episode of Sleepy's Amazing Race 8.

## Story

* Olwen and Brooke, Ingrid and Beau, and Janelle and Sable had enough of a lead from the previous leg that they were the only teams at the Roadblock for a while. As such, Brooke and Sable finished the task quickly for their teams and easily secured their spots on the first bus to Brotas.
* Beau struggled a bit with the heights and all the other teams except Leo and Tristan and Alexa and Daniel were able to catch up with them at the challenge.
* Arcus was able to finish the Roadblock the quickest and secured the final spot on the first bus for his team.
* Beau eventually jumped, but not before holding up Rex specifically, who got very mad at him.
* Deirdre, however, did wayyyy worse than Beau and eventually had to get out of line and let everyone pass her.
* In the end, the first bus carried Janelle and Sable, Olwen and Brooke, and Javin and Arcus. The second bus carried Drake and Relei, Ingrid and Beau, Milania and Rex, and Clay and Eden. The final bus carried Leo and Tristan, Auster and Ayla, Alexa and Daniel, and Deirdre and Morgan.
* While waiting for their buses, Rex confronted Beau about holding him up and started a big confrontation. Ingrid jumped in to defend Beau and make the confrontation much more hostile, while Milania just cringed and ignored the whole situation. Both teams vowed revenge on each other.
* Once the first bus arrived in Brotas, the three teams on it came across a Detour. Javin and Arcus finished super quickly and took the lead, but got lost looking for the Pit Stop, allowing Janelle and Sable to pass them and win the leg.
* Olwen and Brooke's leg took a turn for the worse, as they struggled with the Climb It side of the Detour and eventually had to switch, losing them a bunch of time.
* Once the second bus arrived, more teams ran into issues! Hooray! Drake and Relei got lost looking for the Climb It side of the Detour and then struggled to complete it once they got there. Ingrid and Beau also got lost looking for Press It, which was just a more lengthy task than Climb It.
* Uncontroversial faves Clay and Eden had no issues navigating or completing the Detour and landed a cushy third place finish.
* After that, the third bus arrived, and most of the teams were about even.
* Auster and Ayla crushed it at the Detour and took fourth place.
* Eventually, all of the middle-of-the-pack teams start finishing, leaving only the trailing teams in jeopardy of elimination.
* Drake and Relei are still trying to mechanically ascend, but Relei is struggling due to their heaviness and Drake's floor-length hair kept getting tangled up in the climbing equipment.
* Deirdre and Morgan were just having a rough day, having struggled with the first challenge, having struggled to navigate to the Detour, and having struggled to complete it.
* It's a close finish between these two teams, but one team is narrowly able to beat the other.
* Deirdre and Morgan make it to the mat, and Khil tells them that they're safe in tenth place.
* Drake and Relei get there last and threaten to stab Khil if it's not a non-elimination leg. It was not, but the producers were able to stop them from stabbing Khil.

**Route Info:** Teams had to make their way to a bus station to secure tickets on one of three buses to the town of Brotas, departing at 10:15 am, 11:15 am, and 12:15 am. Once in Brotas, teams had to navigate themselves using provided Volkswagen Beetles.

   **Detour:** Press It or Climb It

In Press It, teams had to drive to Camping Bela Vista to process raw sugar cane and distill its juice. Then, teams had to make 500 milliliters of ethanol to fuel their cars as an alternative fuel source. After completing the task, teams poured the newly created ethanol into their cars and the chemist handed them their next clue. This task was chosen by Clay and Eden, Deirdre and Morgan, Ingrid and Beau, Milania and Rex, and Olwen and Brooke.

In Climb It, teams traveled to Usina Jacaré and hiked to a nearby waterfall. Once there, they climbed 90 feet (27 m) up a waterfall using mechanical ascenders to the top to receive their next clue. This task was chosen by Alexa and Daniel, Auster and Ayla, Drake and Relei, Janelle and Sable, Javin and Arcus, and Leo and Tristan.

**Pit Stop:** The Pit Stop for this leg was located at Fazenda Primavera de Serra. For coming in first, Janelle and Sable won a trip to Tahiti.
