What "The Amazing Race" 8-th episode about
The teams receive a clue instructing them to fly to Muscat, Oman and search for a giant incense burner. Despite scrambles for buses and planes, all teams are equalized when they find that the park with the burner doesn't open until 6:00 A.M. The teams then travel 135 miles to Sur, facing flooded roads along the way. Once in Sur, a Detour titled Camel or Watchtower requires them to either secure a camel in a pickup truck and then deliver it a mile to a bedouin, or search watchtowers for a message box. After completing the task, the teams then travel 80 miles to Al Hawiyah, where they find a Roadblock waiting for them. One member of each team (and particularly B.J.) struggle with hot temperatures while digging through 117 sand mounds hoping to find one of six shuwas, a spicy dish that both team members must have for dinner. Confusion in regard to directions creates suspense on the way to the Pit Stop, but once there, one team receives some welcome news.
