Amazing Race 2011: Who got eliminated in the Amazing Race Season 19 Episode 8?

The Ledger-Enquirer live blogged the Amazing Race Season 19 Episode 8. See a full recap below:

Ernie and Cindy are first place. Laurence and Zac are last place and are eliminated from the Amazing Race.

The team's begin this leg of the race in Malawi. They learn they must fly to Copenhagen, Denmark, where something smells bad. Once there, they must find a specific bell tower, where they'll find the next clue.

Andy and Tommy get the clue first. Ernie and Cindy are second. Bill and Cathi are third. Amani and Marcus -- of Pine Mountain, Ga., fame -- are fourth.

At the airport, the teams are trying to find the quickest flights to Denmark. There's an awkward moment between Laurance and Zac and Ernie and Cindy, who are talking about when they arrive. Laurence and Zac are on a separate flight from everyone else, trying to beat everyone.

Laurence and Zac arrive before everyone, around 8:30 p.m. Denmark time. They hop in a car and find the bell tower. It doesn't open until 7:30 a.m., so they decide to wait at the site until it opens.

Jeremy and Sandy arrive in second place. Amani and Marcus are sleeping in the airport, not caring about when they should leave.

Meanwhile, all the other teams are at the bell tower, in Denmark, while Amani and Marcus are still in an Amsterdam airport.

The teams must climb to the top of the bell tower. At the top, there's a flag with a word on it. There's another flag on the top of a building beneath them, with another word on it.

That tells the teams the next spot they must go to: Frederskburg Castle.

Jeremy and Sandy arrive at a restaurant and realize they made an error. Laurance and Zac and Jeremy and Sandy go to the right point. They drive up to a woman in period dress and get their clue: Learn a dance that's centuries old.

After a team member learns the period dance, they get their next clue.

Amani and Marcus have finally arrived in Denmark. They find the bell tower and begin the climb to the top. They find Jeremy and Sandy at the top, making Sandy remark that she's lost their buffer.

Bill and Cathi arrive at the castle in third place. Meanwhile, Ernie is learning the dance routine, as is Zac.

Andy and Tommy arrive at the castle in fourth place.

Ernie appears to be rocking through the dance routines. He easily gets through the first two stages and then completes the third and final stage. Everyone claps as he gets the next clue, taking them to a rural area of the country. They hop in their car and drive off.

Andy then arrives in period dress and starts the dance.

Cathi and Andy excel at the dance, while Zac is floundering. Cathi gets the clue and she and Bill are in second place.

Ernie and Cindy reach the next clue, which is hidden in a post box. They learn this leg's Detour: All Hopped Up or All Churned Out.

In Hopped, teams must build a steeplechase course for a rabbit, and then lead the rabbit through all the jumps without it knocking over any of the obstacles.

All Churned Out: Teams must use two butter churns and make quality butter.

When either task is done to the expert's satisfaction, the teams will get their next clue.

Meanwhile, Amani and Marcus are so lost they decide to stop the car on the road and hope to stop someone and ask for directions. They finally find someone who stops for them and gives them directions.

Back at the churn: Ernie and Cindy are building serious arm muscles as they make butter.

Bill and Cathi just reach the Detour clue. They're in second place. They also opt for Churn.

Zac just finished the dance routine. He and his father are in fourth place.

Ernie and Cindy just finished Churn, and they learn they must go to the Karlstrup Windmill. It's a double U-Turn, and they choose Bill and Cathi, because they're right behind them.

Ernie and Cindy also learn the location of the next Pit Stop: Havet Ship, the location of this leg's Pit Stop.

Bill and Cathi just learn they've been U-Turned. They then choose Laurence and Zac to U-Turn and make their way to Hop, the other side of this Detour.

It looks like Bill is doing a pretty good job at Hop, though the expert says it wasn't good.

Amani and Marcus just reached the dance task.

Bill gives the run another go, and this time he gets it. Cathi then takes a rabbit through the run and they get the clue leading them to the Pit Stop. They're still in second place as they head back to Copenhagen.

Jeremy and Sandy just finished the dance and they head out. Amani and Marcus are last. It seems like Amani finishes the task quickly, and they get their clue.

Laurence and Zac, in fourth place, reach the Detour. However, they don't yet know they've been U-Turned. They choose Churn.

Ernie and Cindy reach Havet Ship and they run to an awaiting Phil. Ernie and Cindy are in first place. They win a trip for two to Fiji.

Andy and Tommy, in third place, run to the windmill to get their clue to the Pit Stop. Jeremy and Sandy, meanwhile, are driving the wrong way.

That's good news for Amani and Marcus, who are also driving toward the Detour.

Amani and Marcus are in fifth place. They go for Hop. They start building the steeplechase while Jeremy and Sandy are still driving, somewhat lost.

Laurence and Zac finish Churn and then head off to the windmill, to discover that they've been U-Turned.

Amani and Marcus are doing well at Hop, though Jeremy and Sandy are still seriously lost. They stop at a random house and ask directions, then begin heading back to Copenhagen.

Laurence and Zac learn they've been U-Turned, which raises the ire of Laurence. They spot Amani and Marcus as they run over to Hop. Amani and Marcus get their clue and are in fourth place. They drive off to the Pit Stop.

Bill and Cathi and Andy and Tommy arrive at the shop at the same time. Both teams run to Phil.

Bill and Cathi are second place. Andy and Tommy are third place.

Jeremy and Sandy just arrived at the Detour and start hunting for the clue. They're in last place as they run to Churn.

Laurence and Zac get their clue and run off. They're in fifth place.

Meanwhile, Amani and Marcus arrive in fourth place.

Jeremy and Sandy complete Churn, learn where the Pit Stop is and head out. Laurence and Zac are violating traffic laws as they race to the Pit Stop.

It doesn't work for them, though, as Jeremy and Sandy arrive in fifth place.

That means Laurence and Zac are last place. They've been eliminated from the Amazing Race.
