It’s episode eight of Rush Australia 2023 and this time the four remaining contestants – CK, Sofia, Adam and Hamish – were dropped in Kenya, East Africa.
When the competitors were alerted that they could remove their blackout goggles and noise-cancelling headphones, they discovered that were smack bang in the middle of a traditional Kenyan dance called the Adumu, otherwise known as the jumping dance.
After celebrating with the locals, the contestants followed the guidance of their first clue: to head towards a big “lone Acacia Tree”.
The Mission
Upon arrival at the Acacia Tree, they discovered host David Genat, who briefed them on their latest mission.
“Here in Kenya you must buy a gift for the Massai people, the gift will be a goat. Leaving your safari vehicle behind you will need to organise transport for yourself and your goat and take it to the village,” he explained.
“Once your gift is accepted, you will need to take part in a traditional Massai custom…I hope you have a strong stomach.
“Second Mission, find the village and assist the Maasai people with building their traditional hut, then you’ll have to make your way to the Escape Zone.”
CK and Sofia both managed to secure a goat relatively easily, but Team Scarlet – which consists of Adam and Hamish – fell behind
After the goat was gifted to the locals, it was revealed that the contestants had to drink the blood of a goat. Ugh.
Instead of being, well, disgusted about drinking goat’s blood, CK was more turned off by the thought of sharing utensils with the tribe.
“I don’t love that we’re sharing the bowl,” he said.
While Sofia was initially shocked about being asked to drink goat’s blood, she quickly gulped it down and said she “loved it”.
Adam and Hamish eventually managed to present their gift of a goat to the Maasai people and Hamish struggled with the task because he is a vegetarian. Regardless, he drank the goat’s blood and Adam did too.
At the second task, Sofia and CK managed to keep their lead and Team Scarlett continued to trail behind.
The Escape Zone
Unsurprisingly, Adam and Hamish were the last team to make it to the Escape Zone, which meant that one of them would be sent home. David informed them that the choice would be made through a game of Rush roulette which involved a red and green smoke flare; whoever picked the red would be eliminated.
Unfortunately for Adam, he picked the red flare and was eliminated from Rush.
Rush continues on July 30 at 7:00pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
