Contestants were seen scouring Halkidiki in Greece, looking for clues in what comes as the eighth leg of 'The Amazing Race' Season 33. The previous episode, titled 'Gently Down The Stream,' saw the five teams "racing through Corsica, France, where each team member must try a piece of casu martzu, also known as maggot cheese." This came right after Akbar and Sheridan were eliminated, after being the last ones to finish in Episode 6 of 'The Amazing Race' Season 33. 

Episode 8, named after the popular Greek dish 'Souvlaki' began with Kim and Penn, who have been holding the first place, starting the race by looking for clues in a grapevine. One by one, the other contestants followed the drill, finding their way to a local joint called Marianna's Products. The first task, which was making 60 Dolmades in a way Marianna approved, was finished by Kim first. The duo raced to the next spot, with Ryan-Dusty, Lulu-Lala, Arun-Natalia, and Raquel-Cayla following them in this specific order.

The next clue came in the form of a 'Souvlaki,' a delicious meat-filled wrap popular in Greece. Hidden in the wrapping paper was the destination where the next task awaited. Kim and Penn quickly found out that their next task is at the St George Church, and proceeded after devouring the souvlaki made at Mamo's Kantina Stand. Ryan-Dusty and Raquel-Cayla figured it out soon as well but Arun-Natalia and mainly Lulu-Lala took longer, losing out on precious time.

The task at the St George Church called for a sharp mind. Contestants had to listen to a sermon given by the priest and would be quizzed about it after that. The ones who get it right receive the address to the pitstop but should one get it wrong, he/she would have to listen to a longer sermon with more information. Penn crushed the task, hurtling towards their final destination, followed by Raquel-Cayla, Ryan-Dusty, Arun-Natalia, and Lulu-Lala. 

The final task seemed to be more challenging for Arun-Natalia and Lulu-Lala, with the former taking longer to find the hidden code at Mamo's and the latter facing the same issue as well taking a detour that cost them a lot. 

Kim-Penn ended up as Team 1 for the third time in a row and won $7,500 each at the pitstop in Nea Kallikrateia, Halkidiki. Sadly, the eighth leg of 'The Amazing Race' involved an elimination and it was Lulu-Lala who got the boot for finishing last. The twins took it sportively and celebrated their achievements by diving in the waters of the port, ending Episode 8 of 'The Amazing Race' with a splash. 

'The Amazing Race' airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on CBS.
