Production

Development

The Amazing Race 8 started and finished at L'isola di Porco Rosso, an island located in southwest Fort Yaxier.

The season was announced on the Wiki on October 29, 2017, where it was stated that it would occur between December 2017 and January 2018. Shortly thereafter, applications were opened. On December 2, 2017, the starting line was announced to occur on December 23, 2017. After the first session, on the same day, the second session's time was announced to occur on December 30, 2017. After the second session, on the same day, the finale's session time was announced to occur on January 6, 2018, before it was moved to January 20, 2018 and then to January 27, 2018 on January 1, 2018 due to scheduling conflicts.

As seen in previous seasons, members were allowed to make guesses for the starting city. Each member had a free guess and each guess after costed money. Members were allowed to guess in mid-December. On December 16, 2017, BernCow guessed the starting city correctly, and it was revealed that Fort Yaxier's L'isola di Porco Rosso would be the starting line.

This season was the first game show where the starting time of sessions occurred an hour earlier than previous game shows. The starting time was moved from 8:00 p.m. UTC to 7:00 p.m. UTC. This season marks the first time that Frumple has streamed a game show on the server.

This season spanned 37 towns over two worlds, with first-time visits to the New World towns of the Isle of Chez, Forgotten Isle, Heampstead, Vekta, Espil, Avalon, Spring Valley, Jeeka, Waterville, Orio, Ravenna, Geneva Bay, Bakersville, Woodsdale, and Wythern and the Old World city of High Hoopsville. For the first time in the show's history, teams crossed into Epsilon terrain, which only occurred at the starting line.

After the seventh leg, it was revealed that Armada was planned to be visited on the original Race course for the first time; however, it was undergoing renovations and had to be removed from the course. As a result, Lanark and Quiris were added to the route of this season. Additionally, a challenge involving furnishing the Main Street houses in Ravenna was discarded and a Roadblock in Konawa was made into a Detour.

Cast

Applications opened on November 5, 2017 and were closed on December 16, 2017. From there, nine teams and three singles were added to the list to participate in the Race. Out of those teams, seven full teams showed up, with a substitute needed for MindBender15, which was MC_Protocol, who later became Baseball02's teammate, as he ran the whole race with MC_Protocol. As per usual, walk-ins to join the Race on the day were permitted, which allowed TalonPlays to join. TalonPlays was originally supposed to have a partner, but was eliminated before that partner joined him.

At the Starting Line of The Amazing Race 8, which took place at L'isola di Porco Rosso in Fort Yaxier, teams were told that they would have to use a wooden boat to get to a buoy in the water and grab a clue to find out their next destination. The clue on the buoy told teams to continue to boat to Fort Yaxier and find Gemstone Park to find their next clue.

At Gemstone Park, teams were instructed to travel to the nearby town of Elecna Bay and find the Elecna Bay Commerce Tower near the MRT station to receive their next clue. There, teams were told to travel via boat from the Elecna Bay Seaport to the Isle of Chez.

At the Isle of Chez, teams had to find the jCraft Aquatics store. Once at the store, teams were instructed to travel by a single boat (one passenger and one steerer) north to Forgotten Isle to find Settlement Hall, where teams faced a Roadblock asking: "Who's ready to find sunken treasure?". One team member had to grab water breathing potions from inside the hall and use them to dive into the water behind the building to search in brown shulker boxes for a clue inside. The clue told teams to boat back to the Isle of Chez to take a boat to Whiteley.

At Whiteley, teams were instructed to travel south from the Whiteley Waterport and find the Terrance Henry Scouse Monument, where they faced the second Roadblock, asking "Who’s ready to shop?". The team member who did not do the first Roadblock had to do this one. One team member had to make their way to Harbour Lane and search the shops that lined the road for three different shops for chests that contained pieces of paper that would rearrange to tell them the first Pit Stop, Turing Square.

Leg 2 (Whiteley ➝ Birdhall ➝ Heampstead ➝ Vermilion)

In Vermilion, teams visited the South Beach Promenade, overlooked by Victory Square, for the Roadblock where they dealt with sheep in the nearby water.

The clue in Xandar directed teams to travel by MRT south to Espil - Eisli North to find Deltix Plaza to receive their next clue. At Deltix Plaza, teams faced the Detour: Bounce Up or Teleport Up. In Bounce Up, teams had to make their way west to SkyZone and complete a slime jumping course to receive their next clue. In Teleport Up, teams had to make their way east to the front of the Cormak Two Apartments and use ender pearls and golden apples to teleport to the top of the building to receive their next clue.

For Cookie46910 and AyyLion, they had to go to the nearby Kolpino City Marina and repair some windows by finding a yellow shulker box inside a building before continuing on with the Race. The Fast Forward required teams to travel to Avalon and find the Avalon Museum. There, teams would have to go inside the museum to find three marked pieces and recreate the three pieces on one of the side roads outside of the museum. When checked, if all three are deemed perfect, the first team to complete the challenge received their clue to the Pit Stop. Teams were then directed to make their way to the Lubov Theater, where they faced a Roadblock, asking "Who wants to hear some tunes?". One team member had to enter the theater and open a YouTube video link provided which contained a compilation of 15 songs. The selected team member had to memorize as many as they could, and then would be played three songs, one at a time, and if the team member could name at least two out of the three, they would receive their next clue; however, if the team member did not get two out of the three, they would have to run down the stairs and wait in for their turn, if there is a queue, to try again. If not done correctly after ten attempts, they would be automatically given their next clue and a 10-minute penalty. This challenge is an modified version of an infamous Roadblock from season four.

The next clue told teams to take a flight from Kolpino City Airport with a connection through Achowalogen Takachsin-Covina International Airport to the first Pit Stop in the test season or to the location of The Snapshot Episode 27, Amphitheatre.

At the start of the leg, teams were instructed to travel to the nearby docks and transfer through Hummingbird Boat Lines to get to Bakersville and find the Garden Towers. There, teams faced their first memory challenge. Teams would have to make their way up the tower to their marked rooms and correctly place heads and colored shirts corresponding to the order in which previous teams were eliminated.

Teams were then instructed to travel south to the closest MRT station and take the MRT to Woodsdale and find Haw Par Villa. There, teams would find a large screen that stated "FLY FROM CWB to ??? AND THEN GO TO ?????? AND FIND ONE MONUMENT SQUARE". In front of the board, teams found a clue box that had their next clue, which was the final Roadblock, asking "Who wants a flashback to Leg 1?". One team member had to complete the first Roadblock in the Race by searching shulker boxes in the water for a piece of paper.

The piece of paper completed the statement on the board, directing teams to travel from Woodsdale Municipal Airport to Marblelake Heathrow International Airport and travel to Wythern to find One Monument Square for their next clue. Teams then had to travel to the place similarly pictured on the wiki on The Amazing Race 7's page for Leg 7 in Wythern. The photo is that of a baseball field in Utopia. That directed teams to The Ballpark at Wythern. Once there, teams faced their second memory challenge. Teams entered their marked room and opened a link to a simplistic map of the worlds, with dots numbered on the map. Teams would have to place the corresponding numbers to the locations described on their room.

The next clue directed teams to find the Pearl Coast Armed Forces Omega Base for their final memory challenge. Teams had to complete a crossword pertaining to events, challenges, and sights on the Race. Once the crossword was complete, teams were instructed to travel to the Starting Line for the Finish Line, L'isola di Porco Rosso.

Notes

  1. ↑ KittyCat11231 had uCar-glitched down the MRT Circle Line and thus received a 10-minute time penalty, allowing teams to bypass his team, dropping KittyCat11231 & _Kastle from 2nd to 4th.
  2. ↑ autobus22 had closed an airplane door at MRT International Airport and delayed teams. Thus, his team received a 10-minute time penalty, which allowed teams to bypass them, dropping FredTheTimeLord & autobus22 from 3rd to 5th.
  3. ↑ hvt2011 & megascatterbomb initially arrived 1st but did not find the clue at the St. Anna Lighthouse, having arrived at the Pit Stop accidentally by chance.
