Amazing Race 2011: Who was eliminated in the Amazing Race Season 18 Episode 8?

The Ledger-Enquirer live blogged the Amazing Race Season 18 Episode 8. See a full recap below:

The teams will travel from India to Vienna, Austria, where it's 40 degrees colder. Once they arrive, they'll pick a Ford Focus and head out looking for their next clue. The Globetrotters leave first, followed by Zev and Justin.

The Globetrotters and Zev and Justin are at the same travel agent. The cowboys say that every flight in India they've been on has been delayed 25 to 35 minutes, and they're looking at a flight with two connections.

Everyone except the cowboys get on the same flight, because they want to play it safe with the fewest number of connections.

The flight with the rest of the teams arrive and begin racing toward the cars. The goth kids are first, and Phil gives them their clue through a video inside the car. By watching the rear view camera, they'll see their first clue.

The letters on the ground spell a word: Schloss Schallaburg -- a castle where they'll find the next clue.

The cowboys arrive about 30 minutes later while it appears Gary and Mallory are still trying to figure out how to find the clue. They get it on the second try. The cowboys are now in the car with the clue to the castle.

Zev and Justin stop for a map and get directions. The goth kids ask the same people for help, as do Kisha and Jen. Most of the teams stop at a gas station while the Globetrotters go to what appears to be a hotel.

Zev and Justin make it to the castle first. A woman opens a book for them. Inside, they see they must go to the National Library. Kisha and Jen are second, goth kids are third. The Globetrotters are fourth and dawn has broken. Gary and Mallory are right behind them. The cowboys are last place.

Zev and Justin remain in first as they find the library. They hand the massive book to a man, who gives them a clue and this leg's Detour: Long Hard Walk or Quick and Easy Meal.

Long Hard Walk: The teams must go to a museum that is the former office of Sigmund Freud. Working together, they must take an analyst's couch to the University of Vienna, where they'll get their next clue.

Quick and Easy Meal: The teams will travel to a huge Ferris Wheel, where they'll get two local meals. They must eat the meals in the time it takes for the Ferris Wheel to complete a full rotation -- 12 minutes -- in order to get their next clue.

Kisha and Jen go for Meal as do Zev and Justin. Both teams are having trouble finishing the meal.

The goth kids opt for Walk.

Kisha and Jen fail and head off to Walk. Zev and Justin fail the task as Gary and Mallory arrive. They don't tell them how difficult the task is.

The Globetrotters go for Walk. They pick up the couch and head down some stairs as the goth kids arrive at the museum. Kisha and Jen now have their couch and they're leaving the museum.

The cowboys have just arrived at the library and learned about the Detour. They go to Walk.

Gary and Mallory fail Meal.

Many teams are now carrying couches. Kent starts whining and Vyxsin drops her end of the couch and orders him to the other side of the couch.

The cowboys see the other teams for the first time. They grab their couch and start carrying.

The Globetrotters deliver their couch first, and learn they must go to Salzburg, where they'll find their next clue at a restaurant.

The goth kids are second. Kisha and Jen are third. The cowboys are fourth.

The Globetrotters reach the clue box first and learn this leg's Roadblock: Sweep Chimney. One team member must climb to a building's roof, clean a chimney and then go back to the ground, where they'll find their clue.

The Globetrotters finish the Roadblock quickly and get their clue. Zev and Justin have just arrived at the Roadblock.

The Globetrotters learn they must go to the Villa Trapp -- once the home of the real Von Trapp family -- and the Pit Stop for this leg.

Zev and Justin are second place.The cowboys just got the clue to the Roadblock.

Zev and Justin are first place. They each win a Ford Focus.

The Globetrotters are second place.

Gary and Mallory just reached the Roadblock clue box. They arrive at the Roadblock as the cowboys are leaving.

Kent and Vyxsin are third place.

The cowboys are immediately behind Kisha and Jen in their cars, though Kisha and Jen make it to the finish mat in fourth place while Jet and Cord are fifth place.

Gary and Mallory are last place. However, this is a non-elimination leg and they remain in the race.
