"It's A Harem!"

**"It's a Harem!"** is the sixth episode of Sleepy's Amazing Race 8.

## Route Markers

**Pit Start:** The order of departure from Tempio di Segesta are as follows:

1. Ingrid and Beau (2:29 am)
2. Olwen and Brooke (3:11 am)
3. Janelle and Sable (3:40 am)
4. Leo and Tristan (3:42 am)
5. Deirdre and Morgan (5:00 am)
6. Clay and Eden (5:04 am)
7. Milania and Rex (5:10 am)
8. Auster and Ayla (6:06 am)

**Route Info:** Teams must drive to Catania and find the Anfiteatro Romano at Piazza Stesicoro. Once there, teams must count the number of busts on the fence posts surrounding the grounds of the Anfiteatro Romano. Once teams have counted the busts on the fence posts, they must search for the groundskeeper and provide the correct number of busts (41), to receive their next clue.

**Detour:** Big Fish or Little Fish

In Big Fish, teams must make their way on foot to a street vendor at Via Alessi and each pick up a 32-pound swordfish, then carry it for a third of a mile to Il Mercato Storico la Pescheria. At the market, teams must deliver the swordfish to a fish vendor named Jagino to receive their next clue. This task was chosen by Clay and Eden, Janelle and Sable, Leo and Tristan, and Olwen and Brooke.

In Little Fish, teams must make their way on foot to Il Mercato Storico la Pescheria and sell 4 kilograms of a small fish locally known as *triglia*. After selling the fish, the vendor would give them their next clue. This task was chosen by Auster and Ayla, Deirdre and Morgan, Ingrid and Beau, and Milania and Rex.

**Route Info:** Teams must drive themselves to Siracusa and find Ponte Umbertino, where they would find their next clue.

**Roadblock:** *Who's well-balanced?* The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must participate in a popular Italian sport: kayak polo. They would join a professional team and participate in an ongoing match. Once the team member scored one goal, the coach would give them their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

* Auster and Ayla
* Clay and Eden
* Deirdre and Morgan
* Ingrid and Beau
* Janelle and Sable
* Leo and Tristan
* Milania and Rex
* Olwen and Brooke

**Pit Stop:** Teams must make their way on foot to Fonte Aretusa to check in. The winning team won a cruise for two to Mexico.

## Story

* This leg starts with a three hour self-drive from Palermo to Catania in the middle of the night, which provides plenty of room for teams to get lost.
* Guess what! Teams got lost!
* Ingrid and Beau and Leo and Tristan both get lost and decide to work together. In a confessional, Ingrid talks about how much she loves love and how willing she is to help any of the dating/married teams.
* Olwen and Brooke and Janelle and Sable, on the other hand, navigate perfectly and make it to Catania about thirty minutes before the Anfiteatro Romano opened, giving them to bond! Hell yeah to friendship!
* Once the anfiteatro opens, both Olwen and Brooke and Janelle and Sable count the posts quickly and move on to the Detour.
* Leo and Tristan and Ingrid and Beau get there and finish next, but every other team reaches the posts not long afterward and has a chance to catch up.
* Olwen and Brooke finish the Detour super quickly and take an early lead! Leo and Tristan finally get to use their skills as big buff boys and finish the Detour quickly as well! Janelle and Sable finish next because they're icons.
* Clay and Eden finish counting posts really quickly, but have a very tough time at the Detour. First, they try Small Fish, but Clay's scary vibes scare off enough customers that they decide to switch sides of the Detour. On the other side of the Detour, though, they struggle to carry the heavy swordfish and somehow get lost even though they were just at the place they were trying to find! Obviously, this causes them to lose a bunch of time. Not their best moment.
* Auster and Ayla are having trouble as well, as they keep missing one of the posts at the anfiteatro, and then struggle with the Detour as well.
* Milania and Rex and Deirdre and Morgan coincidentally end up near each other throughout the whole leg. The divorcees keep airing their dirty laundry and trying to get the married musicians to pick sides, which makes everyone around them very uncomfortable.
* Somehow, Olwen and Brooke, Janelle and Sable, Deirdre and Morgan, Milania and Rex, and Leo and Tristan all end up at the Roadblock at the same time!
* Leo and Tristan once again get to show off their big buff boy skills and finish the Roadblock first, but Janelle and Sable and Olwen and Brooke finish right after them and it becomes a footrace to the Pit Stop!
* In the end, Olwen and Brooke take first place, Leo and Tristan second, and Janelle and Sable third.
* Eventually, it comes down tot eh bottom two teams: Auster and Ayla and Clay and Eden.
* Though it does end up being close, Clay and Eden are able to maintain a lead over the twins for the entire leg, and finish in seventh place.
* Auster and Ayla eventually reach the Pit Stop, where Auster is absolutely certain it'll be a non-elimination leg because they're simply too perfect for the producers to allow them to leave the show.
* Unfortunately, Khil does inform them that they've been eliminated.
