What happened in The Amazing Race season 36 episode 8?
During the hunt for their first clue in the neighborhood of Fairfield, Angie & Danny were the first to depart.
Due to unexpected rainfall, the duo faced challenges following proper directions but eventually made it to Rihanna’s childhood house to find their third clue. Angie was confident to complete the Roadblock and became the first participant to do so.
After exiting Rihanna’s home, Angie was left behind along with Danny who suffered from a lack of time management but managed to reach Long Bay Beach quickly. At The Amazing Race Detour, they chose Fish Pot Building in which teams had to build a pot from scratch using sticks and wire mesh. Angie & Danny started this Detour in fifth place and they arrived last at the pit stop.
The final verdict was given by a fisherman who would give the sturdy pot owners their last clue.
