"We&amp;#039;re on leg eight of The Amazing Race, and we&amp;#039;re picking up from last week&amp;#039;s cliffhanger - rockers James &amp;amp; Abba have arrived at the pit stop, but with the taxi driver in Moscow having taken off with their belongings (including the ever-important passports), it&amp;#039;s anyone&amp;#039;s guess as to what&amp;#039;s going to happen. They&amp;#039;re off to the police station to make some calls and hopefully stay in the race.  Meanwhile, the goat farmers and Abbie &amp;amp; Ryan - currently both in last place - are still at the pool trying to learn the synchronised swimming routine. The coach blows the whistle to tell them the bad news: the pool is about to close and they still haven&amp;#039;t done it. They end up getting the clue, but they end up with a four-hour penalty. The duos head over to the locks to get their final clue. Abbie &amp;amp; Ryan have a hard time with it and Abbie sits down, giving up. Since Josh &amp;amp; Brent get it quicker, they help her complete it and they stick together.    James &amp;amp; Abba have been talking to the US Embassy in hopes of getting new passports issued but they&amp;#039;ve done everything they can do at the moment. Are they giving up? I can&amp;#039;t tell. Yes, they are - they head back to the pit stop to say goodbye to Phil. Before they get there, however, Abbie &amp;amp; Ryan and Josh &amp;amp; Brent turn up to check in. Phil lets them know that another team is still out there struggling, so they&amp;#039;re safe this week, which is good news. However, that four hour penalty they earned will be assessed at the beginning of the next leg of the race.  When the rockers finally arrive, Phil tells them a bit of good news, as well: it&amp;#039;s a non-elimination leg, so they&amp;#039;re still in the race for now. The bad news is that they&amp;#039;ll need to find their passports at some point and they&amp;#039;ll also have to complete a speed bump during the next leg in addition to all the other tasks. They&amp;#039;re okay with that, it seems.  Speaking of the next leg, Trey &amp;amp; Lexi are the first to depart and they&amp;#039;re heading to study building six at the Agricultural Academy and then to the large chemistry auditorium, where they&amp;#039;ll find their next clue. They hop into a taxi to head over to the building, but incidentally, the driver just drops them off at the worst part of the town at a place that&amp;#039;s definitely not the academy. They then hop into another cab, hoping for a better result. James &amp;amp; Jaymes are close behind them, though, so they&amp;#039;ll need to get a move on.

They hop into a taxi to head over to the building, but incidentally, the driver just drops them off at the worst part of the town at a place that&amp;#039;s definitely not the academy. They then hop into another cab, hoping for a better result. James &amp;amp; Jaymes are close behind them, though, so they&amp;#039;ll need to get a move on.    Eventually, the Chippendales arrive first as Lexi &amp;amp; Trey lose their lead when the second cab driver has no idea where he&amp;#039;s going. They eventually stop at a hotel to get some translation, and finally manage to get there and meet up with the other pair, putting them neck in neck. The next clue reveals a roadblock, requiring teams to get &amp;quot;in the zone&amp;quot;. They&amp;#039;ll be shown Russia&amp;#039;s nine time zones and Moscow&amp;#039;s local time, and they&amp;#039;ll need to then calculate the local time in five Russian cities. I don&amp;#039;t really get this challenge, but okay! Lexi and Jaymes are the ones doing the work, and they&amp;#039;re not having an easy time of it, missing out on the five necessary correct answers throughout several rounds. They eventually decide to work together but their efforts don&amp;#039;t pay off. They get through twelve rounds before they realise they&amp;#039;ve been doing it wrong the whole time. Finally, they get it right. At the same time, twins Natalie &amp;amp; Nadiya are across town and are heading to the academy with the intention of using their express pass right away. It&amp;#039;s time for the next task, and it&amp;#039;s a detour. Movers requires teams to learn and perform a Russian soldier dance. They&amp;#039;ll choose an instructor and they&amp;#039;ll need to perform the moves in time with the music. Shakers requires teams to identify seven famous Russian leaders at a cocktail party from a list of names. They must find a specific number of lookalikes and once done correctly, they&amp;#039;ll get their next clue. Both Trey &amp;amp; Lexi and the Chippendales decide to do the dancing task, and they head over in cabs.  Once there, they dress in Russian military outfits and choose their instructors. James sprained his ankle in the last bit of the race, so he&amp;#039;s in considerable pain as he performs the demanding moves. It&amp;#039;s pretty difficult, but they decide to go ahead and perform it before fully learning the routine in order to save him some pain. After a few rounds of trying, they get their next clue. Across the city, the twins have used their express pass to avoid doing the time zone task and are moving on.   Following the roadblock, this week&amp;#039;s pit stop is at Sokolniki Park in the fairground, where there&amp;#039;s a public performance pavilion and a waiting Phil. The Chippendales are heading their first, but Trey &amp;amp; Lexi aren&amp;#039;t far behind them. As the twins arrive at the detour, they get started on learning the dance routine but are held up slightly with laughter as Nadiya rips her military pants. At the same time, Josh &amp;amp; Brent are waiting out their penalty, James &amp;amp; Abba are still on the hunt for a passport and Abbie &amp;amp; Ryan are the last to get started on this leg.  James &amp;amp; Jaymes check in first at the pit stop and as the winners of this leg, they&amp;#039;ve won a trip for two to Costa Rica for five nights. Lexi &amp;amp; Trey aren&amp;#039;t far behind them, and the twins are in third place. Way behind, Ryan is doing the time zone challenge and despite being extremely overconfident about how he &amp;quot;nailed it&amp;quot;, he continually gets it wrong, putting them even further behind, though luckily, Josh &amp;amp; Brent are dead last. Ryan has done more than 20 tests and still isn&amp;#039;t getting anywhere. It doesn&amp;#039;t click in until about test 25, when he finally gets it right. They&amp;#039;re off to dance, now.  Josh &amp;amp; Brent get the time zone task correct on the first try and decide to do the &amp;#039;Shakers&amp;#039; roadblock. James &amp;amp; Abba have also made a little bit more progress, having filed a police report and given an address for their passports to be returned to, in case they show up. They&amp;#039;re off to finish the rest of the race, as well.  Abbie &amp;amp; Ryan are making good progress, having finished their dance instruction, just as the goat farmers head to the cocktail party to identify their famous Russian figures. They&amp;#039;re incredibly smart as they get them correct nearly right away and receive their pit stop clue. They even stop to give everyone a toast before heading out as they figure they have a bit of time to spare. They check in just behind Abbie &amp;amp; Ryan. &amp;#039; James &amp;amp; Abba are just a bit too far behind and check in late. They&amp;#039;ve decided to accept their fates and are eliminated from the race. &amp;quot;We just had a great time, so The Amazing Race was just killer for us,&amp;quot; Abba says at the finish. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been an amazing experience.&amp;quot;  The Amazing Race airs Sundays at 8/7c on CBS.
