The Amazing Race season 32 episode 8, titled "Are You a Rickshaw?", takes the remaining teams to Siem Reap, Cambodia. As they arrive, they are greeted by a clue directing them to a hotel where they must search for their next clue in a room full of bicycles.
The teams then head to a nearby temple where they must participate in a traditional Cambodian ritual, including a water blessing and an offering to the monks. The next clue takes them to a rice paddy where they must search for a hidden clue box before making their way to a local market.
At the market, the teams face a Detour: "Chop" or "Haul". In "Chop", teams must chop up and stack a large pile of firewood, while in "Haul", teams must transport a heavy load of goods through the busy market to a designated stall.
After completing the Detour, the teams continue on to their Roadblock: "Tuk-Tuk Coin Toss". One team member must toss three coins into three different rickshaws that are moving around a set course. Once they successfully land all three coins, they can receive their next clue.
The final challenge takes the teams to a monastery where they must climb a steep set of stairs to a rooftop terrace. Here, they must assemble a puzzle of a famous Cambodian landmark before racing to the finish line.
Throughout the episode, the teams face challenges with language barriers, cultural differences, and physical exertion. With each challenge, tensions rise as the teams fight to stay ahead of one another and avoid elimination. Ultimately, only a few teams will remain as they move one step closer to the grand prize.
