This leg of the race the four remaining teams are flying to Hong Kong, where they will get a ride in a Rolls-Royce Phantom to their next clue. All teams are on the same flight, making teams pretty neck in neck, although it takes the green team and Chris & Logan extra time to find the correct cars. Tiffany & Krista reach the hotel with the clue box first, and face a detour. In Sam’s, teams have to go to a workshop and cut out six pieces of fabric for a suit jacket. Once the tailor approves that their cuts are…

Hanne loves the majority of shows on TV; from reality shows such as Big Brother, to comedies like The Big Bang Theory, to dramas like Pretty Little Liars. Growing up, she found books to be a great escape, and that quickly transformed into a love of television. She especially loves how reality shows allow you to form a bond with people - both the stars of the show and other fans - whom you most likely never would have met or interacted with otherwise. The Amazing Race recap videos are what introduced Hanne to Your Reality Recaps, and YRR in turn introduced her to an entire new world of reality shows.

Justin & Diana start this leg of the race at 5:10 pm when they open a clue telling them to take a Tuk-Tuk to Kachora Bazaar. The clue also reveals that there will be another u-turn this leg, which could be interesting since only 3 of the 5 remaining teams still have the ability to u-turn. Chris has an upset stomach, but he says that it won’t affect his performance on this leg. The green team reaches the roadblock for this leg, Full of Hot Air, in which racers have to blow up balloons and use them to fill a…
This leg of the race teams are flying to New Delhi, India, where they’ll face a u-turn at some point. After landing in New Delhi, racers have to take a train to Agra, where their next clue will be at the banks of the Yamuna River. Obviously every team wants to u-turn Justin & Diana, but I’d say only Kelsey & Joey have a real chance of beating the green team to the u-turn. All teams are flying out together, which gives Justin time to tell a few teams that he thinks Josh & Tanner will be eliminated this leg. Once the plain…
Justin & Diana started this leg of the race at 10:10 pm, when they opened a clue telling them to fly to Krakow, Poland. Once in Poland, teams must find the Plaza Krakow to get their next clue. For the first time ever, teams are given a phone to book tickets with (through Expedia). The green team is in the lead on a flight arriving at 7:00 pm, while all other teams are on the same flight. Justin & Diana arrive in Krakow and make their way to the Plaza Krakow, which features a large swimming pool right next to the beach. Justin…
This is the second consecutive leg that racers haven’t have a pit stop (there’s been a total of three episodes without a pit stop). Team Alabama is still struggling to rap while the green team is off to Rotterdam. All teams are booked on a 7:00 pm train, but Justin & Diana get standing room only tickets on a train that leaves at 4:19 pm. Finally, James & Denise complete the detour! Tanner & Josh decide to go sightseeing until the 7:00 pm train arrives, while other teams are buying new tickets and leaving France. Once Diana & Justin arrive in Rotterdam, they…
James & Denise started off this leg of The Amazing Race at 5:40 am, with the first clue being a roadblock. Phil starts talking about a sponsor of TAR, Fitbit, and how teams have to record their heart rate after each challenge throughout the leg (apparently they’ll need this info later in the race). The roadblock requires one team member to bungee jump 364 feet off the Victoria Falls Bridge. The roadblock doesn’t start until 7 am, so all of the teams have caught up when Denise bungee jumps. After finishing this roadblock, teams will fly to Paris, France. All…
This episode began by recounting last week’s cliffhanger ending; at the mat, Phil told Tanner & Josh that they needed to choose which team to give the Express Pass to right then. Josh & Tanner pick team mother/son, because they’re the weakest competition. Phil gives the guys their next clue, which directs them to Lookout Cafe. While Justin & Diana and Josh & Tanner are on their way to the cafe, other teams arrive at the Double U-turn. Denise & James are overjoyed when Phil reveals that Tanner & Josh chose to give them the express pass. At the Zambezi…
The fourth episode of The Amazing Race Season 27 began with footage of Tanner & Josh working out their Double U-turn/Express Pass plan. Josh & Tanner plan to get to the detour and use their Express Pass to skip it, then U-turn Justin & Diana. Then the next team that arrives at the double U-turn will choose to U-turn Tanner & Josh, wasting the second U-turn so Justin can’t use it to stay in the game. Tanner & Josh will then give the team that U-turns them the Express Pass.This is a smart strategy, probably copied from season 21 when the chippendales U-turned…
This leg of The Amazing Race started with Tanner recounting the ACL injury he got during the sprint to the pit stop on the last leg. Understandably, Tanner & Josh are worried about how this will affect their game on the race, because they can’t just rely on being the athletic team anymore. At 5:45 am, Justin & Diana leave the pit start to travel by bus to San Antonio de Areco. Once they arrive, teams will choose a pickup truck and catch a ride to their next clue. After getting a bus driver to take them to a local bus…
After an unexpected hiatus due to illness, I’m back recapping The Amazing Race! The second episode began on the beach in Rio, where Tanner & Josh are the first ones off to Buenos Aires. Once in Buenos Aires, teams must find the church where Pope Francis was baptized. All teams book a flight for 8:25 pm. While waiting at the airport, Alex & Adam borrow someone’s phone to look up the address of the church in Buenos Aires. The green team and team mother/son also look the location up, which Justin says they should keep a secret. Denise & James seem to…
