- [Phil] Previously on "The Amazing Race."
Seven teams raced from Novosibirsk, Siberia
to Jaipur, India.
Mel got off to a rough start.
- Oh.
- It's too painful to watch.
- [Phil] But his keen awareness.
- [Mel] What is that?
- All right, Dad. Go for it.
- [Phil] Pushed him ahead of the other teams.
- Oh, you can use that.
- Thank you.
- My dad just smoked the roadblock.
- [Phil] Tammy and Victor danced through the leg with ease.
- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you.
- Yay.
- Which led to another first place finish.
Tammy and Victor, you are team number one.
- Yeah!
- [Phil] Starting in last place.
- Everything definitely needs to go right for us today.
- [Phil] The flight attendants faced an uphill battle.
- [Jodi] What are we doing here then?
- Just to fuel for car.
- [Jodi] Now?
- [Phil] Jodi powered through the roadblock.
- She's doing great, she's made up some time.
- [Phil] While brothers Mark and Michael
labored at the detour.
- Son of a bitch.
- But in a tight race to the mat,
Christie and Jodi came up minutes short.
Christie and Jodi, you are the last team to arrive.
You have been eliminated from the race.
Coming up tonight, when temperatures rise in Thailand.
- [panting] I think Thailand is probably
the hottest place I've ever been.
- [Phil] The heat takes its toll on Margie.
- Mom, Mom! Right here, right here, Mom.
[intense music]

[intense music]
- This is the city of Jaipur,
the jewel of Northwestern India.
Founded almost years ago by a Maharaja,
it's known throughout India for its beauty.
And high up on a nearby hill, Jaigarh Fort.
Perched feet above the ground,
this sky high fortress was the sixth pit stop
in a race around the world.
Teams arrived here at the end of the last leg
for a mandatory rest period.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- [Phil] The six teams waiting here have no idea
what's in store for them.
Tammy and Victor, who were the first to arrive.
- Yeah!
- [Phil] Will depart at : AM.
- All right, let's see where we go.
Route info, ooh.
- Lots of money.
- Fly to Phuket, Thailand.
- [Phil] Teams must now fly almost miles
to Phuket, Thailand.
Using only this picture as a reference,
they must find this statue of a giant gorilla.
What they don't know is that the statue
is at the Phuket Zoo.
- Hello.
[elephant trumpeting]
- [Phil] It's there they'll find their next clue.
- You should purchase your own tickets
at Riya Travels or Jaipur Airport.
How far away is Riya Travels?
- Fifteen kilometers from here.
- Okay, let's do that. - Fifteen?
[gentle music]
I've been to Phuket, Thailand once before,
but I went with my parents.
Mommy and Daddy wouldn't even let me go to the beach.
All of my life, my entire family has thought of Victor
as the one who's always right.
He's older, everyone thought he's smarter,
he's faster, he's brighter.
I wasn't allowed to walk like more than feet away
from my parents or talk to anybody.
So this will be this will be.
- A better experience.
- [laughing] A better experience for me.
- [Mike] Fly to Phuket, Thailand.
- [Mel] Let's go.
- [Mike] Which is closer, this or this?
- Travel agency is closer.
- We're gonna go to Thailand, man.
- I know, Phuket, my favorite city.
- We want to go far, we're having a blast.
But you know, we don't want to be so competitive,
and so tunnel vision about the race
that we forget how much fun this is.
Do you speak any Thai dad?
- Yeah, um, mai tai.
[Mel chuckles]
That was a pun.
- I know.
- Mm.
[intense music]
- So we just need two tickets to Phuket.
- We wanna leave today.
- We wanna go as soon as we can.
- Whatever is quickest. - Whatever is the fastest.
- [Travel Agent] New Delhi to Bangkok and Phuket.
It will arrive : A.M. in Phuket.
- And that's the fastest way to get to Thailand?
- To go to Phuket?
So we'll book these, then.
- [Jen] Fly to Phuket, Thailand.
Can we go here and then the airport?
- We have a very competitive edge
and we wanna compete at the best of our abilities.
The travel agency is closer than the airport,
so we're just gonna go ahead and go to the travel agency.
- Excellent.
Kisha's my main focus.
And I'm hoping that I'm her main focus right now,
'cause I don't really care about any of the other teams.
- Give me five.
- Fly to Phuket, Thailand.
Thailand, woo, Thailand.
When you sign with somebody,
it's a lot of work and it's exhausting.
Sometimes I just feel like I need a break.
I just, you know, I just wanna rest my arms or.
No, no, you have to get tickets early, early.
It's better that way.
But if he wants to have a conversation, you know,
I really have to be present and there for him, it's tiring.
But I wouldn't change it for anything.
- Fly to Phuket, Thailand.
- Yes.
You have enough gas for the airport?
- [Cara] Yes?
- Cara, look at it's gas t*nk.
Let us in, let us in, let us in.
I feel like at least if we're at the airport we're there.
- Yeah, I think so too.
I think we should just go to the airport.
- Everyone has seen by now
that patience is not my virtue, but.
- Well, Jaime has a hard time with, like,
language barriers too, and.
- I don't like foreign language.
I get so tired of listening to people talk, sometimes.
I'm so tired of noise.
That's why I wanna get outta India.
I don't like the honking.
Very fast, we are in a race.
This little thing needs to go.
[horn honking]
- [Mel] What's the name of it?
- [Mike] Riya. .
- Rita?
- Riya.
- It's upstairs, Mark.
- We need to get what they're doing.
- We'll do what they're doing.
- [Mark] Fly to Phuket, Thailand.
- This morning we're starting in sixth place.
The end of the pack.
- We're last, but we're not last by much.
It's no big deal, we just gotta keep on with it
and go forward and little or no errors.
- [Michael] I have a feeling the agency
actually might be the better sh*t.
- Actually Phuket is very well known for it's diving.
We're swimmers, naturally, so it's not gonna be a big deal.
[kids speaking in foreign language]
- Wait, wait, wait.
- That's why you shouldn't do that.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
[kids speaking in foreign language]
- That's why you shouldn't do that.
- Being in India, seeing all the starving kids,
that's really sad.
I'm a middle school youth program coordinator.
I work with kids all the time, so to see kids on the side,
hungry just breaks my hear.
It just makes you really appreciate what you have.
[horn honking]
- Hey, hi.
We have to go to Phuket, we're going same.
Same, same, same, same.
- Hey, there.
- The same tickets.
- Same?
- Yeah.
- Damn, all these people b*at us here.
- We're pretty positive everybody has the same flight
because the travel agents are passing around
the information.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- There's only one team, Cara and Jaime are missing
so we just assume they went straight to the airport.
- And so what is the fastest flight?
The earliest flight we could get Phuket?
- [Worker] : arrival in Phuket.
- [Jaime] Do you wanna book that one?
- Let's book that one.
- [Jaime] Let's book that one.
[intense music]
- [Margie] It looks like all the teams
are on the same flight.
We're all gonna get to Phuket at the same time, so.
- Lice's and germs, welcome to my airline.
- Yeah, it's fine, it's fine.
It makes it kind of fun.
Big race [laughs].
- [Phil] All teams are now making their way
to Phuket, Thailand.
[inspirational music]
[inspirational music continues]
- Taxi!
- Oh my God.
Go, go, go, go, go.
- We need to find this statue. - We need to find this monkey.
- Do you know it? Very fast.
We are driving to find this monkey statue.
- Go, go, go.
- That statue, we have to go to.
- [Victor] Taxi.
- [Tammy] Taxi.
We're trying to b*at the people behind us.
- Whoa, safe now, safe, safe.
- Yeah, safe but fast.
- Safe but fast.
- Taxi.
- This is ridiculous.
- [Jaime] Sir, what's your name?
- [Sak] Sak.
- Sak.
Sak, do you know what a race is?
- She talks to them like she's talking
to a child, you know?
She's like. "Want to go to the park?
Park, park to the park."
- You know, race? Very important, very fast."
Uh huh.
- So, it doesn't sound very nice.
If I was on the other side, I would be like,
dude, you are a witch with a b.
- What's your name?
Bandit, that's a very cool name.
I'm Tammy.
- [Bandit] Bandit in Thailand means "teacher."
- Bandit, meaning teacher in Thai.
- Or awesome.
- Okay, packs off.
We're trying to find this
- Patong Beach.
- As long as we can find this gorilla, we're fine.
Hopefully it's in Patong beach.
- You take us here?
You know that? You know that?
- I don't know where it is.
- [Michael] You don't know this?
- [Mark] You know what, let's stop right here
and you go ask these guys.
- Ask him.
- [Man] Can I help you?
Where the King Kong.
- Yeah, do you know where it is?
- Let's ask him, ask him.
Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop.
- [Jen] All the teams are right here.
Do we wanna stop?
- [Kisha] Here, you want the picture?
You gotta have the picture out.
- Just say a big ass gorilla.
- Okay, so we'll run out, let's go.
You wait?
- This way, this way, this way, go.
- Monkeys? You guys know?
- You know monkey?
Gorilla?
- Gorilla?
Gorilla?
- Where, where's the monkey?
- This way. Gorilla, King Kong?
- They're all over there.
Just right across the street.
- Oh, I see.
- See 'em?
- Gorilla? No?
- Do you know this monkey?
- They all stopped.
- They're all lost.
- Where is he?
- In Phuket Zoo.
- That's at the zoo?
We go to the zoo.
- In the Phuket Zoo.
- Phuket Zoo?
- Yeah, Phuket Zoo.
- You think it's in Phuket Zoo?
- Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Are you guys gonna go to the zoo?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Oh, they're going this way now.
- [Mel] They are?
- [Mike] Yeah.
- [Mel] Well let's go this way.
- Okay, we gotta catch up now.
- Ah, Phuket Zoo.
- Let's go.
- Okay then.
- Do you know where it is now?
- At Phuket Zoo.
- We saw all the other cabs turned dead around.
Everyone was just kind of running around
like chickens with their heads cut off
looking for this crazy gorilla, man.
- Well, I feel like everybody seemed
like they were in, like, a herd and that herd
is going in a totally different way than we are.
But either we're gonna get behind or we're gonna get ahead.
We're going to Patong Beach, and we're hoping some
of the other teams don't know where they're going.
[intense music]
[tiger growling]
- Come on, Mike, let's go.
Stay here.
- Go inside there, that's jungle-like, let's go.
- Here, Jen, which way, which way?
- Go around, go around, go around,
go around, go around, go around.
- Here, up here, shh, quiet, quiet.
Take it, take it and leave, take it and leave.
- They got it, here's the girls.
- Follow them.
- Shh.
- Take a picture.
- With Esso the tiger.
- Teams must now get ready to take a walk on the wild side.
Or rather, let the wild side take a walk on them.
First teams will have their picture taken
with Esso the tiger.
Then they'll take part in a typical Thai performance
in which they must lie on the ground
while elephants step and squat over them.
After performing successfully,
they'll return to the tiger station
where the tiger keeper will hand them their photo,
which is also their next clue.
- Take a picture with Esso the tiger.
We have to find the tiger.
- Take your picture with Esso the tiger.
Tiger.
- [Michael] Tiger.
- [Mark] Tiger.
- Tiger. - Tiger.
- Take a picture with Esso the tiger.
Come on, come on.
Where is it?
- Is this Patong beach.
- Sir, should we ask?
Should we ask someone about this?
Should we ask somebody? I don't know.
- There goes Margie and Luke on a motorcycle.
- Tiger, tiger, where?
- Tiger [imitates Tiger growling].
- [Michael] Tiger.
- [Mark] Tiger.
- [Michael] Tiger.
Tiger. - Tiger.
Right here, here we go.
We take a picture with the tiger?
Oh my God, this is great.
- Here, right here?
- Here, here, here.
- [Handler] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay, Mark put your hand.
- Noticed that the, the handler only had one arm.
We're sitting behind the tiger, I'm going,
I wanted to keep up both my arms, thank you very much.
- Yeah.
- [Jen] Holy moly.
- [Michael] Shh, you guys, quiet, I don't wanna get eaten.
- [Jen] I figured they didn't eat Mark and Mickey,
then they wouldn't eat us.
- But they are bite sized.
- They're bite sized.
- Yeah, they are about the size of the trainers missing arm.
- [Michael] Rock and roll.
- [Mark] Elephant show?
- [Michael] Elephant show.
- [Mark] Elephant show.
- Oh my God. This is wild.
I'm touching a tiger.
I'm gonna cry.
I absolutely loved the zoo.
If I could just spend my life in the wild with animals
and never see people again,
I'd be completely okay with that.
I would never look back, Jane of the jungle.
[intense music]
- It's here, good job.
Tiger picture.
- Whoo!
- Tigers back here?
- Nice. - Let's go, let's go, go!
- You the first ones?
- Yeah.
[shutter clicking]
- [Photographer] One, two.
[shutter clicking]
- Is this Patong beach?
- [Taxi Driver] Yeah.
- Where? The whole thing?
- The whole city.
- It looks familiar.
- Can you phone somebody?
- That's it? No.
- At the beach.
- [Mel] That's all.
- Big gorilla.
Big, big, famous gorilla.
[uncertain music]
- Elephant show? Yes.
- Elephant show.
- I can't believe I just touched a tiger.
- Touched it.
- I touched it, I know.
[women laughing]
[Michael laughing]
- Oh, on the butt.
Ooh.
- Yeah, did you like that tap?
That's funny.
- Oh my God, he's gonna squat.
Oh, look at that sh*t.
- I'm loving that.
[men laughing]
[elephant trumpeting]
How cool is this?
- Thank you, sir.
Right to the right.
[Cara giggling]
[upbeat music]
[elephant trumpeting]
- [Michael] Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
- [Michael] Thank you.
- Make your way to the Old Phuket Town.
- [Phil] Teams must now make their way
to the oldest herb shop in Phuket,
Nguan Choon Tong Herb Shop.
Once there, they'll ask the shopkeeper
to open one of the herb drawers in search of a clue.
If they choose incorrectly, teams will have to keep guessing
until they find their next clue.
- Oh.
- Let's go, out.
- [Michael] Nice, nice.
- [Mark] Let's go. Speedy, speedy.
- Well, all the other teams, they're here.
Except for Mike and Mel, I didn't see Mike and Mel.
- [Mel] It's time to ask a local, man.
Have you seen that?
- Phuket Zoo?
- No, no, no, here.
- Oh my gosh, it's sitting on me.
Done? Thank you!
- Okay.
- Ow, oh, that's hard.
[elephant trumpeting]
- Oh, mm.
- Make your way to Old Phuket Town.
Okay, Sak.
Very fast, okay [clapping].
We got to touch it, the tiger.
- So beautiful.
- So cool.
- [Kisha] Make your way to Old Phuket Town.
- [Jen] Come on, Kisha.
- Took a picture with a tiger and I didn't pee on myself.
I'm so pleased.
[speaking in foreign language]
- That's not very satisfying.
- Make your way to Old Phuket Town.
- [Victor] Mr. Bandit.
- [Tammy] Mr. Bandit.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Nobody knows where the ape is.
He's probably the top of the empire state building
holding some girl in his arm.
Man, we could end up never finding this thing.
- [Mike] We're lost, we lost.
[intense music]
- Forget it.
Nobody's getting it.
[intense music]
- Phuket Zoo, Phuket Zoo.
- Are you sure?
- Sure. %.
- That statue. That one?
- Yes.
- That statue's there?
- Yes. In the Phuket Zoo.
- It appears that lady luck did not shine rightly
on Mel and Mike today.
- If it's not at the zoo, then we gotta go somewhere else.
- Let's stop for a Thai massage.
- [Mark] I feel a ball buster coming.
- Cara and Jamie just passed us.
- Right behind us are the Tweedles.
- [Cara] The Tweedles.
That's kind of like Tweedledee and Tweedledum
from "Alice in Wonderland."
- Let's call it what it is.
- The Tweedles.
- Ah, yeah.
I like having a little,
I like having a little bumper like this.
- It's just talking, and talking, and talking,
and talking, and talking.
- Here's where we catch up with our conditioning.
- Physical adaptness.
- And the fact that I love to run.
- They're like.
- Very animated.
- Yeah, they're like characters
from a cartoon movie, and so.
- Hence, the Tweedles were born.
- I can guarantee on a foot race for a K,
I could probably outrun 'em all.
[intense music]
- This is it.
- Let's go.
- You wait, you wait.
- Hello.
- Good morning.
- We have to pick one?
- Yes.
- Which one, pick?
- Doesn't make a difference.
- Top.
Yes, .
We're gonna do this as many as we can.
Okay, you guys just pick?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- No, no, go, go.
- Pick a number.
- , .
- Yes.
- , , . - Rotate, rotate.
- Okay, we are, that's fine!
- [Michael] Remember which one we picked, girls.
- Just pick! Yes!
The drawers at the herb shop really tested my patience.
The guy was most frustrating
because I don't really think he spoke a lick of English.
Just pick, yes, yes!
Yes, yes, yes!
- [Michael] We'll do the one above that.
- Ah, there it is.
- [Mike] Oh, there it is, oh my gosh.
- You got it?
Mikey, sit.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[intense music]
[tiger grumbling]
This is the picture over here, Mikey.
[shutter clicking]
- [Mike] I think we're last.
- Okay, , . - One up.
- , , . - Yes.
- Yes, yes, yes, no.
- [Jen] Come on Kisha.
- Over here, over here.
- Just pick it, pick the numbers,
but you have to go in, like, he'll make you go in a circle.
He's very slow.
- [Kisha] No, no, no, no, no, no.
, .
- , faster!
Yes, fast!
Very fast!
- [Cara] Okay.
- . - Yes, yes.
- Yes.
- They got one, okay.
Are you fricking kidding me?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Go out, go out, go out, go out, go out, go go.
- Here, detour.
- In this detour teams have to choose
between two forms of physical labor
that are well known to the residents of Phuket.
The choice, a hundred barrels, or two miles.
In barrels, teams make their way to this Harbor
and work to prepare a fishing ship for days at sea.
They'll have to fill barrels with enough drinking water
to last the trip and move of the empty fish barrels
from the bottom deck to the roof,
arranging them properly for the journey.
In two miles, teams make their way to this temple
and choose one of these rickshaws.
In the event of a flat tire,
pumps have been provided for the teams.
Then while one team member sits in back,
the other will pull the rickshaw
and make their way two miles through the streets of Phuket
to King Rama IX Park.
- Rickshaw.
- Rickshaw.
- We're '" and a hundred pounds soaking wet,
pulling each other for two miles.
So that was a no brainer.
- Ooh, ooh, hi, hi.
[Mel laughing]
- He's stepping on me.
- Oh, no, no, no, no [laughing]
- Look.
- That is amazing.
- , ! - Right there, left.
Right there. - !
- Yes.
- .
- . - Right there, down.
- Down. Down. - Yes.
- Just pick! Yes!
- Yes, yes, yes.
- Thank you.
- [Mel] Oh, thank you very much.
Thank you, thank you.
- Awesome, we look cool.
Do you know that? Okay.
- That elephant stepped on my butt.
- .
- Did Mike and Mark already leave?
- Yes, they did.
- Yeah, they already got one.
[intense music]
- It's over that way. - They got it already?
- They got it instantly?
- Third try.
, this sucks.
- .
- Nope, there's so many numbers.
- There was really nothing Victor and I could do skill wise,
other than keeping track of
which boxes had already been called out.
- .
- .
- Yes.
- Good job.
- Detour. barrels or two miles.
We've decided to go with a hundred barrels.
- .
- , please.
Nope.
- .
- .
- It's madness.
- .
- Hey.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
Which one you pick, you pick.
- [Margie And Luke] Yay.
- Thank you.
- [Jaime] .
We're the first ones to the herb shop.
So that was very frustrating.
- Detour.
Do you know this one? The hundred barrels?
- You guys let's just, let's just pick 'em, let's go.
- Okay, okay, which one? Hurry.
- .
- Yes, thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Okay, sir, sir, sir.
- [Tammy] Go.
- A hundred barrels or two miles.
I think the two miles.
- Sir!
Just go in a row, start from the top.
Just go, yes, go. - Yes.
- Go!
- Go.
- [Cara And Jaime] Yes!
- Okay, okay, down, down.
Yes.
Damn it, Cara.
- I actually like everybody on the race except Jamie.
She's kind of a mean girl.
[Mel laughing]
- No, the middle! - The middle one.
- Middle!
I could touch the box and he touched the one next to it.
This one, this one, this one over here?
Open! Just go.
Yes, thank you, thank you.
- Okay, let's go.
- Holy moly.
- Barrels or two miles.
We're barrels.
- We need to go Pae Yod.
Water, is it very far Sak?
- [Sak] Uh, uh huh.
[upbeat music]
- It's a rickshaw. - Rickshaws, rickshaws.
- There's the rickshaws.
A pump, the obvious.
- Oh, we gotta blow up the tires, gotta blow up the tires.
- Give this one, a big pump.
- We got to the rickshaws and one tire is low
and we had pumps to get our rickshaw rocking and rolling.
- Okay, we're good.
What are you doing?
- Well, slow people up.
You know how that is?
- He's confusing 'em is what he's doing.
- I thought, well, let's just put 'em all in here, you know?
And give the guys a little bit more work.
I'm letting 'em think there might be more going on
than meets the eye.
I was just trying to make it a little more taxing for them
to do what we had already done.
So that I put all the tools,
all the pumps back in the box.
- How are ya?
- Feel good?
- Oh, I feel very fine.
Ha-chi-ha-chi-ha-chi.
- Is this it?
- Herb shop.
- Hello.
- [Mel] Hello.
- We need a clue.
- [Mel] Choose a box, Mikey.
- This one there.
No.
All right, let's try the one above it.
Oh.
- [Mel] Next one.
- [Mike] We try next one.
- [Mel And Mike] No.
[Mel laughing]
- [Mike] Next one.
- [Mel] Next one, where would it be?
Where would you put it?
No.
Mikey, there's a lot of boxes here.
- Aye yi yi, no clue.
- Next one.
- Whoo.
- Fish.
- It stinks.
- Stinks.
- Yeah.
- Pae Yod.
- [Kisha] Can you wait for us?
- [Jen] Can you wait?
- [Margie] There's no boats here.
- You've got to be kidding me.
- [Margie] I don't think this is where we're supposed to be.
- [Jaime] It looks like they're right ahead.
- [Cara] Are they right there?
Is that Luke and Margie?
- Sak, you stay here, okay.
You wait.
They don't have a clue where they're going.
- No clue. Do you know where this is?
- Do you know this?
- Yes.
- Okay, let's switch.
Margie, you follow.
Drive behind us.
- Come on.
Just follow them.
- Come on.
We're changing.
We're just gonna do the other detour
because he says he knows exactly where it is.
- Follow them.
Stay with them, please.
- [Kisha] We are looking for the boat.
We're having a little trouble finding it.
- We don't know what they're doing, or where they went.
- This say's, "Can't hire someone to guide us."
Perfect, we'll ask em to draw the map.
- Just go along the side here, go along the left.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Oh man, our cab.
- Oh, he's right there.
Let's ask. King Rama IV?
- Follow me.
- Follow you, you know where it's at?
We were gonna have to pay that cab
whether he stayed in front of us, behind us or met us there.
we had the cab lead us to the end of the detour.
- Okay, let's go, rock and roll.
- We'll follow you, you go.
Straight, straight.
He's right in front of you.
- Feeling pretty.
- [Taxi Driver] This temple.
- This is the temple?
- Can you show us where King Rama IX Park.
Show us on the map. - [Taxi Driver] Follow me.
- [Victor And Tammy] No, we can't.
We can't, we can't, they won't let us.
Draw on the map.
- [Taxi Driver] Okay.
- [Victor] Just wait for us there.
- [Taxi Driver] I wait there.
- Okay, run.
- [Tammy] I'm hoping this is quicker than those, oh.
- [Victor] How the hell, you good?
You good, you good?
- Just tell me if you're okay.
- I'm good.
- I feel like I should have gone on a diet.
Whoa, whoa, Victor.
[upbeat music]
- No.
Then one over.
- No.
- Gosh, give us a break.
- One down.
- Ah, what's wrong with us?
Okay, next one over. - Gee.
- Yay!
We got it.
- This detour, a hundred barrels or two miles.
Let's do a hundred barrels.
- [Mel] Okay.
- I just feel like we can power this.
- [Mark] As soon as you get a little tired.
Just say when, don't overdo it, Mike,
if it's wasting you.
- Yeah, switch.
- Ready? Let's go.
- All right, the beast.
- I needed a good workout.
- He's an animal.
- You're doing great, Victor.
- You know exactly where we're going, right?
- We know exactly where we're going.
We've got it on the map.
- All we need to do is find the entrance
and there's a marked path.
- [Michael] There it is, it's the park right here.
- That's it, that's it.
- [Mark] There's the driveway.
- [Michael] Ah, I see a marker.
Yeah, baby.
- Thank you, sir.
- I'll pay that cab any amount of money,
he gave us a guided tour.
- Thank God.
- I get to sprint this one home.
- I'm sorry, Tammy, I'll just walk.
- It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Don't worry, you're doing great.
- I don't like saying this, but my sister is a little heavy.
[intense music]
- [Cara] Okay, Sak.
King Rama Park, meet us there.
- [Jaime] You go there. Wait for us, okay?
We need a rickshaw.
Now, where do I have to go?
- King Rama Five Park.
- [Jaime] Okay, hang on.
- Excuse me.
- Sir, come here, come here!
- [Cara] Can you help us?
- [Jaime] Quickly! Hurry, hurry!
Do you know this?
- Sorry, Madam.
- You don't know this?
- Oh my gosh.
- This way or this way?
- [Cara] He doesn't understand.
- [Jaime] Cara, I'm gonna use my mind.
- [Cara] Just keep going,
we'll find someone who will come with.
- [Jaime] Hang on, Cara.
- [Tammy] Where are the rickshaws?
- [Luke] See.
- [Tammy] Go, go, go, it's hot.
- Oh, there it is, right here.
- [Michael] Right here, baby.
- Walk, run, or hire to your next pit stop.
- Teams must now make their way through Phuket town.
To Wat Thep Nimit Temple.
This temple, best known for housing a piece
of the Buddhist remains is the pit stop
for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
- Let's go see if we can bargain with our taxi,
we have one already.
- Yes, thank God.
- [Mark] Dude.
Wat Thep Nimit.
- [Taxi Driver] Wat Thep Nimit?
- Yeah, you know?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
- [Michael] Good.
- All right, scooty booty yay-oh.
- Oh yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Good job.
[upbeat music]
- [Kisha] This right here?
- [Jen] This right here.
Can you wait?
Smells like fish.
Are these the marked boats?
- Yeah, I think this.
- This one.
Hey, let's stack up there.
You toss em up to me.
- All right.
- Toss 'em up.
One.
- [Kisha] I'm not counting, so.
- I am, four.
- Where is it?
- [Mel] Yeah, we gotta find it fast.
- [Taxi Driver] Huh?
[speaking in foreign language]
- Sir, we're in a rush.
Oh man.
- We're not too far from our pit stop
so we're feeling pretty good.
- I don't see anybody else doing this leg.
Everybody's gonna think that it's really hot
and really hard and I think we tore it up.
Right here.
This way.
- [Michael] It worked.
Whatever we did it worked.
There he is, right there.
[intense music]
- [Michael] Whew, yeah!
- [Mark] What a rickshaw ride that was.
[speaking in foreign language]
- Welcome to Phuket, Thailand.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, pretty girl.
- Very beautiful outfit.
- Mark and Michael.
- Yes.
- You're the first team to arrive.
- Yeah.
- Woo hoo, yeah.
- I told you, I told you.
Optimism, optimism, buddy.
- However.
- Uh oh.
- You have incurred two minute penalties.
- Incurred a penalty?
- First, for intentionally tampering with the pumps
and putting them away.
Secondly, for breaking the rules
and hiring help by having the taxi driver
lead you guys along the route.
I'll need you to wait out those two penalties
before I can check you in.
- Okay.
So why don't you guys just wait right over there
and I'll check you in once the time is up.
- [Mark] This is crazy.
- [Michael] That's a bummer.
- [Mark] My God, unbelievable.
- [Michael] This is k*lling us.
[intense music]
- We got a minute penalty
for messing with the pumps and whatnot.
And we also received a minute penalty
for our taxi driver leading us to the next clue.
- I was sweating b*ll*ts
'cause I didn't know how far up behind the other teams were.
- [Tammy] Do we switch runners?
- [Victor] We can, it's heavy though, Tammy.
- [Tammy] But you don't wanna switch
even just for a little bit?
- [Victor] No, I think I'm okay.
I tend to wanna take control in a chaotic situation.
My natural tendency is to take everything away from her
and want to do it.
I'm sorry I can't run anymore.
- [Tammy] If you want, you can walk
the whole rest of the way.
- [Cara] King Rama Park.
Do you know?
- [Jaime] Show us!
- Straight, which way?
- Left.
- To the left, to the left.
- Go left to the left, okay.
- We don't know where we're going.
We have to ask somebody.
Hey, excuse me, King Rama Park.
[speaking in foreign language]
- Straight, straight, go, go.
[water splashing]
- [Kisha] How many is this?
- [Jen] .
- Good job, keep it going.
Oh, crap. Oh, no.
I didn't see the hose going the whole time.
I could have been filling them while passing it.
- [Jen] Yeah.
- I smell fish.
There's a cab.
Oh, they're the girls.
- It's Mel and Mike.
- That makes me secretly happy.
- Hello.
Who's behind you?
- Nobody, I'm sure.
- Mike, arrange up here.
Fill down there.
- Can you do them both simultaneously?
- Yeah, doesn't say not to.
- I kind of wish I would've noticed
the hose was on a little earlier
'cause we could have k*lled two birds with one stone.
- [Mel] That a boy, I got it.
Just keep filling 'em.
- [Mike] Let's do it.
- [Kisha] I'm sorry, Jen.
[intense music]
- [Michael] Oh boy.
- Good job Victor, you're kicking ass.
- [Cara] You're doing awesome, Jaime?
Are you okay?
- [Jaime] Yep.
Got a stitch.
- [Cara] Okay, okay.
- [Jaime] I got a bad stitch.
- [Cara] Ready?
- [Jaime] Yep, I'm sorry I couldn't do it for a while.
- [Cara] Breathe deep, breathe deep.
Don't worry about it.
- This is the park, see it?
We're gonna turn right.
- [Tammy] There's Mr. Bandit.
- All the way straight.
- I have to switch, Jaime, I'm sorry.
- Okay, okay.
- Keep going, Jaime, we're almost to the top of the hill.
- Follow the path to receive your next clue.
Do you wanna just drop it now?
- [Victor] Yeah.
- [Tammy] Good job Victor.
- Here, here, path, path path.
- Okay. - Path.
Yay.
- Oh, I see the gate, what I think is the gate.
- [Jaime] Move, move, buddy,
You're running us off the road!
Right there, right there!
Do you need me to run it in?
- Yeah.
I'm like a mule.
- You're gonna dump me out of this thing.
Push it down or I'm not gonna fall out.
Because of the communication, this was a hard challenge.
Luke, Luke.
Luke, move over, I'll do it.
Sitting in the back I couldn't get his attention.
It was easier for me to be running.
- King Rama?
- Straight.
[intense music]
- I'll do that one next.
- Okay, why don't you carry two of them a time over here.
He was carrying one barrel at a time and I said carry two.
And it really sped things up.
- The water.
- [Kisha] How many more we got?
, ?
[intense music]
- Are you sure we didn't need to bring the rickshaws here?
- It said at the main gate, then follow the marked path.
It didn't say to the clue.
- [Tammy] Are you sure?
- [Victor] Yeah.
- [Tammy] Okay.
- Oh, it says drop the rickshaws here.
- We're gonna have to go get 'em.
- Victor and Tammy.
They didn't try to go for the fish.
That's good, we're not too far behind.
You got it, Jaime, one million dollars.
- It's right here.
- I see the box.
- Oh you see the box?
- Get the clue.
Warning, last team will be eliminated.
Okay, let's run back to our cab.
- Just lean back.
- Mr. Bandit.
Mr. Bandit, you get in your car and follow us.
Let's run seconds, walk seconds.
Ready? One, two.
- Oh my God.
- , , .
- Good.
Come on, it's for a million dollars.
- Nobody's behind us.
Walk, run, or hire a ride to your next pit stop.
- Wat Thep Nimit?
- [Tammy] We have to go very fast.
- Sak, Sak.
This is the last stop, very fast.
- [Sak] Wat Thep Nimit]
- I'm so proud of you.
Right now it's all in Mr. Bandit's hands.
- Oh, Sak get us there, get us there, get us there fast.
I'm so proud of you, that was awesome.
- How many more we got?
- [Jen] Six.
- I'll take all three one at a time.
We have up here.
- Go, Mom, go.
- You finish, I can't.
I can't.
Go, it's downhill, go.
Go, go, go, go, go.
The last team to check in may be eliminated.
You know where it is?
Okay, oh man I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
I think Thailand is probably
the hottest place I've ever been.
Running in this heat, I got the chills.
- We need this.
Please.
- We really made up a lot of time in our running.
- As fast as you can.
- I think it's here.
Go in, go in.
- Stop. - Stop.
- Yeah, yeah, Sak, you're awesome.
- Whoo.
Oh, here come's a team.
- [Tammy] Victor.
- [Jaime] Come on, burn it out, Cara.
Strong finish.
- Tammy and Victor, you're the second team to arrive.
- Thank God.
- However, Mark and Michael have incurred
two minute penalties,
which means that you guys are actually
the first team to arrive.
- Oh my God.
- Victor, you did such a good job today.
I'm so proud of you.
- And as the winners of this leg of the race,
you have won a trip or two from Travelocity to Oahu.
You'll spend five nights
at the beautiful Marriott Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa
where you'll take a helicopter tour of the island,
a sunset dinner cruise, and even a tour by submarine.
Congratulations guys.
- Thank you so much.
- All right, stay where you are, let these guys in.
- [Michael] We're screwed, ouch.
- Jaime and Cara.
- Please tell us something good.
- You are in fact team number two, congratulations.
- Yes, yes!
- That's such a drag.
We worked that hard, and just [spits].
- That was really hard, oh my fingers are numb,
my mouth is numb.
Wat Thep, right there.
- [Luke] Where?
- There it is, right there.
- Mark and Michael, I can check you in now.
- Oh, okay.
[intense music]
- Now that you waited at your penalties,
you are now team number three.
- All right.
- [Phil] Congratulations.
- We're still in it. - You knucklehead.
- We're still in it.
We did have a nice lead and a trip that was in our pockets
that we lost, but I still feel like a winner.
We're in third, we're still in the game,
and we have a a sh*t at a million dollars.
- All right, we need water.
[speaking in foreign language]
- Welcome come to Phuket, Thailand.
- Thank you.
- My fingers are frozen.
- Margie, Luke, you are team number
four.
- Yay! Yes, yes, yes,
yes, four, yes!
- Bionic woman has done it.
[intense music]
- I think I need some water. - Mom, mom.
- Okay, bring some water.
Mom, mom, right here, right here.
- Water!
Water!
- Mom, mom.
[intense music]
- Mom, mom, right here, right here.
- Water! Water!
[dramatic music]
- Water, guys, water.
- Mom, mom.
- [Medic] Just breathe, nice deep breaths.
Get some oxygen in the body.
- It's okay, you're good, you're good.
- Just breathe, just breathe.
[fan clicking]
- Oh, that feels so good.
[Margie panting]
- I've brought you an ambulance.
- No fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
How embarrassing.
[intense music]
- [Kisha] Yay, last one, Jen.
- How many?
Okay, I'll count 'em.
[intense music]
Only to go, Mike.
Only more, Mike, more.
Carry two at a time.
- All right, we're done.
Fisherman, are you the fisherman?
Can you check?
[clapping] Yeah.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Walk, run, or hire a ride to your next pit stop.
- Warning, last team to check in may be eliminated.
- [Mel] This is almost it, oh.
- I'm not gonna speak on anything
until we make it to the pit stop.
[Kisha sneezing]
- Bless you.
Bless you, shut up.
- I only need one more.
How many did you have?
- .
- Today's not over, but the fat lady hasn't sung yet.
- Which way?
Wat Thep Nimit, so which way you say we go?
- [Taxi Driver] Huh?
- Which way?
Wat Thep Nimit.
Where you going?
- This way.
- [Kisha] Where are the flags?
- [Jen] It's obviously not that if the gates are locked.
[speaking in foreign language]
Awesome, love it.
Our taxi driver dropped us off at the wrong place.
- Ah.
All right, let's come on, okay, .
Is that okay?
- Thank you captain.
- Warning, last team to check in may be eliminated.
Let's go.
- Oh man.
[Mike cheering]
- [Mel] Go fast.
- ÷{Mike] Come on!
- [Mel] Move, move, move.
Please, go ahead.
- Fast, fast, fast.
If you don't ask, let's ask someone.
- [Mel] You know?
- Yeah.
- [Mel] Okay, then let's go.
- Please, God find one place.
- Oh my God, that's that?
Where is this?
- Wat Thep Nimit, oh.
- Can you take us? - Can you take us?
- Are you positive you know where this is?
- Yes, yes, yes.
- Okay that is very critical
that we're going to the right place.
- Wat Thep Nimit is very far.
- Okay.
- Go, go, go, go, go, go, sir, please go.
Everything is on the line.
It's only a game but, boy,
does it get intense, this game, sometimes.
- I feel so sick.
- Oh my gosh.
[intense music]
[intense music continues]
- Oh, God please.
- I don't know.
[intense music]
- Kisha and Jen.
It's good news, you are team number five.
- Okay, we still in it, okay.
- Okay, Oh man.
[dramatic music]
[speaking in foreign language]
- Welcome to Phuket, Thailand.
- Thank you.
- Mel and Mike.
You are the last team to arrive.
I'm sorry to tell you,
you have been eliminated from the race.
- We're sorry, too.
- Very sorry to see you go.
- It's been a great run.
- What's special about your son?
- Keep it together, dad.
- What's special about Mike?
Just about everything I can think of.
He's smart, he's wise, he's mature.
This is my kid.
And I've left something in the world
that will make the world a better place.
I had aches, and pains, and groans, and groins,
but I was pretty good.
And I loved it when my son thought so, too.
- Oh, dad.
- Oh, son.
- We've been father and son my whole life,
but I don't think we've ever really been teammates.
And being a teammate brings a whole different
kind of camaraderie than you get in normal life.
And so that was a great gift that the race gave us.
[dramatic music]
- [Phil] Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
In two weeks on "The Amazing Race"
teams karaoke in Bangkok,
[singing in foreign language]
- [Phil] And after Mark and Michael make a critical mistake.
- We have to get our backpacks.
- [Phil] The gloves come off
- You'd rather be eliminated and take your clothes home.
That's the problem, you don't want the million dollars.
You just wanna play.
