The Amazing Race Season 38 Episode 9: Tucker and Eric face elimination after arriving last at the Pit Stop

For the latest episode's Road Block, Jas and Jag were the leading team. Soon, they came across the clue, which mentioned a task. Contestants had to memorize specific letters from the Greek alphabet.

Jag took on the responsibility and got started with the task. However, soon, he learned that the alphabets on the wall was out of order. Hence, they had to memorize the correct order of symbols and letters. He and fellow participant Joseph teamed up and worked with each other.

After multiple tries, Jag successfully completed the task. The next clue on The Amazing Race was the Pit Stop. They had to push a boulder towards the hill. Jack-Chelsie were leading. Soon, Kyland and Taylor also joined. While the rest of the teams were moving their boulders, Chelsie was the first one to finish it.

It took seven attempts for Joseph, while five attempts for Paige. Kyland also tried it twice. But Tucker was still facing issues. He was on his eighth attempt and unable to get it done correctly. The Amazing Race star Taylor also got the task done, but Tucker was still unfinished. At last, Tucker got it right and then rushed to the Pit Stop.

Soon, Tucker and Eric learned that the two were the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop. It meant that they would be going home from the competition. Fans expressed disappointment after they learned about Eric and Tucker's elimination.
