Brian. "She is my rock. I love her. I don't know where I'd be without
her."

Episode 308 Recap


The six remaining teams travelled across three continents to the second
most populous country in the world, India, arriving in Kolkata. As the
winners of the previous leg, Brent and Sean were upgraded to Air Canada
International Business Class. In a first for THE AMAZING RACE CANADA series, they were able to choose one other team to join them,
ultimately picking Dujean and Leilani.



Once in Kolkata, teams had to re-create traditional flower garlands in
the Mallick Ghat Flower Market. At the Road Block at Kumartuli, a
traditional potters' quarter of Kolkata, teams had to locate the
handcrafted idol with one specific feature distinguishing it from the
other idols, guided only by a photo found in their clue card. At the
Detour, teams chose between tuck or roll. In tuck, teams had to learn
six strenuous yoga poses and perform them correctly for a guru. In
roll, teams had to load a rickshaw with supplies to deliver to local
merchants, all while navigating through the maze of busy alleys and
narrow streets.



Exes Dujean and Leilani arrived first at the Pit Stop at the National
Library on the grounds of Belvedere Estate, winning the leg. Host Jon
Montgomery greeted them with their leg prize - round-trip tickets from
Air Canada to London, England, plus free gas for a year from
Petro-Canada.
