Here are the highlights from The Amazing Race season 24, episode 8, “Donkeylicious”:

Brendon and Rachel are in first place at the start eighth leg of the race and find that they must first make their way to Civita Di Bagnoregio. The Country singers continue to work with Dave and Connor. The girls plan was to follow Dave and Connor but lose them along the way. Meanwhile, the Cowboys, Globetrotters, and Afghanimals work on their own.

Upon arrival at Civita Di Bagnoregio Brendon and Rachel get to the detour and have to choose between Donkey Run where they will race donkeys or Donkey Build where they will build wooden donkeys. Brendon and Rachel decide to go with the first choice and take part in the donkey races. After falling off the donkeys a few time they realize it’s not going to be so easy.

Dave and Connor arrive at the donkey race second and are annoyed when Brenchel ignore their questions. Before they can begin, Brenchel finishes the race on their second try. The next clue sends them off to Hostaria Del Ponte. As Dave and Connor try their hand at the donkey race the rest of the teams are still having trouble just getting there.

Brenchel arrive at Hostaria Del Ponte where a double U-Turn is awaiting them. They decide to use it on Dave and Connor (although Rachel feels bad about it) and then head to the next clue at La Badia Di Orvieto. Jet and Connor use their express pass to bypass the detour and go straight to the Hostaria Del Ponte. Dave and Connor finish the donkey race on their fourth attempt and follow the Cowboys.

The father and son team are devastated to find that Brenchel used the U-Turn on them. They then have to pick another team to use the next U-Turn on and decide to do it to the Afghanimals. They run into the cousins on the way to the donkey build and the two teams decide to work together instead of competing against one another.

The country singers arrive at the donkey build where Dave and Connor agree to help them to make up for accidentally losing them on the way there. They complete the donkey, then go back to help the girls, and tell the Afghanimals how to finish theirs.

The Globetrotters arrive just as the rest of the teams are leaving for the roadblock. At first they try the race but quickly realize it’s not going to happen for them. They switch to the donkey build and don’t have much luck there either. They end up giving up on the donkey build and try the race again. They finally manage to complete the race and head off in last place.

At the roadblock, Brenchel find they must copy a page from an ancient manuscript to get the next clue. Rachel is excited about the roadblock because not only is she an artist, but she studied calligraphy. The Cowboys arrive next and Jet tries his hand at copying the manuscript. Rachel gets annoyed when her first attempt is denied even though she thinks nothing is wrong with it.

Dave and Connor arrive with the Country singers at the roadblock. Rachel’s second attempt is accepted and they get the next clue that sends them to Piazza Del Duomo for the pit stop. The Afghanimals arrive at the roadblock and get nervous about the challenge. By the time the Globetrotters arrive at the roadblock the rest of the teams have already completed the challenge and left.

Brenchel get to the pit stop first and win $7,500 each. Jet and Cord arrive in second, the Afghanimals in third, Dave and Connor in fourth, the Country singers in fifth, and much later the Globetrotters arrive in sixth and are sent home.
