"The Amazing Race 8" [6] Trivia Quiz

Answer: Godlewski

When they realized that they were still racing, teams had to travel to Dubois, Wyoming about forty-nine miles away to find Turtle Ranch. Once they arrived, teams needed to wait overnight until the ranch opened, and this allowed all of the teams to catch up. In the morning, teams needed to sprint to a car where their driver would take them to their next destination; and Indian camp.

Answer: 1/4 mile

In 'Pioneer Spirit', teams needed to take a covered wagon and find four wheels for it. They then had to place the wheels on it, and gather some horses to pull them down a 1/4 mile trail. Once this was done, teams could receive their clue. The Linz and Bransen families completed this task.

Answer: Two

In the task, teams needed to build a traditional Indian tepee. Once they did this correctly, they would receive their clue from the tribal chief. The Godlewski and Weaver families completed this task.
After the Detour, teams drove to Cody, Wyoming in order to find the Irma Hotel (which was named after Buffalo Bill's daughter). Once there, teams needed to dress in costumes, and pose in a photo with Buffalo Bill. When teams showed their photo to Buffalo Bill, they would receive their clue.

Answer: Four

After receiving their clues from Buffalo Bill, teams drove seventy-three miles to Red Lodge, Montana. They then had to go to the tenth tee on the lodge's golf course to find their clue. Once they found the Road Block, two team members needed to pick a flag and find four golf balls of the same colour as the flag on the back nine holes. Once teams found these, they received a clue telling them to go to the Pit Stop.

Answer: Bransen

To reach the Pit Stop, teams needed to drive forty-three miles to Absarokee to find Green Meadow Ranch; a 10,000 acre cattle ranch in Montana. The Bransens and Linzes arrived within seconds of each other and placed in first and second. On the way to the Pit Stop, the Weavers were pulled over by the police, which allowed the Godlewskis to nearly catch up, but in the end, the Weavers still arrived in third and the Godlewskis were eliminated.

Answer: Minneapolis

In the beginning of leg 12, teams needed to fly to Montreal, Canada. Although they were given tickets, teams were under no obligation to use them, and the Bransens were able to get a direct flight to Montreal, while the other two teams arrived at 4:10; fifty minutes earlier. Once in Montreal, teams needed to find a subway station and navigate through what's known as 'The Underground City' to the basement of the CDP Capitol Building where they would find their next clues.

Answer: Curling

After navigating the maze of the Underground City, teams fund their Detour clue. During the Detour, teams needed to choose between 'Slide It' or 'Roll It'. In 'Slide It', teams needed to drive to McGill Arena and participate in curling. To do this, teams needed to slide the granite curling stone to the house. Once teams correctly completed the task, they would receive their next clue.

The Weaver and Linz families did this task.

Answer: Bransen

In the 'Roll It' Detour task, teams had to go to the Morgan Arboretum twenty-three miles away. Once there, teams had to roll four logs across a 100-foot long course. Once teams finished this task a lumberjack would give them their next clue.
After finishing the Detour, teams were given a clue telling them to go to the American Pavilion from Expo '67 they then had to climb to the fifth floor to receive their next clue.

Answer: Weaver

Once they reached their clue on the American Pavilion at Expo 67, teams needed to drive six miles to an industrial park at 2350 Dickson Street. They then needed to find La Porte J (French for 'Door J') to find their next clue. During the Road Block, teams needed to choose a member to perform the flying trapeze much like members of Cirque Du Soleil. Once they successfully performed the task, they would receive their clue.

Answer: 5:45

After the Road Block, teams traveled to Parc Olympique where they had to drive a golf cart into Stade Olympique. Teams then had to receive a clue from the clue box on center-field. Teams then had to find a time for a departure time somewhere in the stadium.

This time would be for a charter flight to a mystery destination. This took so long that teams needed to leave, pay for their taxis, and return to search.

Answer: Toronto

The Bransen family was first to depart, the Linzes were second, and the Weavers were last to arrive in Toronto. Once there, teams found their clues on their marked cars. Then teams needed to head to the CN Tower and take two elevators to the highest observation deck. There, teams needed to use binoculars to find their next location; Toronto Harbourfront.

Answer: Shoe

In 'Ship', teams needed to find a location at Queens Quay, take a boat, and sail it to the Kajama; a ship at the Toronto Harbourfront. Then, a team member needed to climb to the top of the mast to receive a nautical flag. Once they returned it to the captain, they could receive their next clue.

Answer: Two

While the Weavers and Linzes completed the 'Ship' Detour task, the Bransens completed the 'Shoe' Detour task. In this task, the Bransens had to go to the Bata Shoe Museum and choose one of four pairs of shoes. Once they did this, they had to find one woman out of one hundred who fit the selected pair.

After this, they received their clue. After the Detour, teams were instructed to drive to Queenston, Ontario on the Canadian side of the Niagara Gorge, then find a boating company in order to board a boat and drive it through the Niagara Whirlpools. Teams received their next clue from a buoy at the end of the whirlpool.

Answer: Lewiston

Once teams reached the buoy, they needed to tell their boat instructor to take them across the gorge to Lewiston, New York where they would receive their next clue. This clue, the Road Block, required that teams required that teams complete a puzzle of North America. Once they did this, teams had to run to the finish line.

Answer: Linz

After twenty-five days, fifty cities, and more than six hundred consecutive hours as a family, the Linz family crossed the finish line in Lewiston in first place and won the eighth "Amazing Race". The race to the finish line was neck-in-neck against the Bransens, and shortly after, the Weavers crossed the finish line in third place.
