- [Phil] Previously on "The Amazing Race",
[explosions rumble]
teams went to battle in World w*r I.
- I hate the smell of sulfur in the morning.
- [Jeff] Jordan.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Don't talk to me.
- [Jeff] Why are you moving so slow,
what's the problem?
- [Phil] "Big Brother" couple, Jordan and Jeff,
had their own private w*r.
- Use your elbows, lay on your stomach and hold the g*n.
Are you understand or no, you're just gonna do it your way?
- [Jordan Lloyd] I'm going.
- [Phil] But despite a speed bump-
- [Jeff] One more should do it.
- [Phil] Managed to survive.
- I'm wearing a mustache, come on.
- Blind U-turn.
- Joe and Heidi?
- [Phil] Louie and Micheal targeted Joe and Heidi
with the blind U-turn.
- He needs to be humbled, period.
- [Joe] Unbelievable.
- [Heidi] There's no way we're gonna get this, honey.
- [Phil] That forced them to surrender.
- [Joe] I can't believe it.
[quiet music]
- Joe and Heidi, I'm very sorry to tell you
you have been eliminated from the race.
- It's been a tough day.
- The Detectives' strategy sealed another victory.
Louie and Micheal.
- Team number one, yeah!
- [Phil] Seven teams remain.
Who will be eliminated next?
[exciting racing music]
[exciting racing music continues]
[exciting racing music continues]
[exciting racing music continues]
[exciting racing music continues]
- [Phil] These are the pastoral fields
of northeastern France.
During World w*r I,
they were a place of tremendous conflict.
Today, they are a virtual sea of tranquility
between tiny country towns such as this one: Wargemoulin.
This quaint town with a population at last count of
was the fifth pit stop in a race around the world.
Louie and Micheal, who were the first to arrive.
- [Louie] Yeah! [cheers]
- [Phil] Will depart at : AM.
- Drive yourselves to the city of Reims.
Teams must now drive themselves miles
to the city of Reims.
First established by the ancient Romans and later liberated
from the English by Joan of Arc,
its gothic cathedral was traditionally where the kings
of France came for their coronations.
Outside the cathedral, teams must find this statue
of Joan of Arc where a street musician playing a singing
saw holds their next clue.
- Let's go, baby.
France feels just like December in New England.
Hopefully, some of the other teams are feeling the effects,
but this is nothing.
I'd be wearing the boxers out
to get the newspaper this morning.
- First place two legs in a row.
It feels tremendous.
- [Micheal] Grab a map.
- We're watching everybody else like chickens
with their heads cut off and me and Mike are just enjoying
the amusement of these other teams.
- This is nothing for us as far as staying up late
and driving all hours of the day, so we're feeling good.
We're gonna own this continent.
- [Steve] Here we go.
- "Find the only outdoor statue of Joan of Arc,
"then listen to what you saw."
Let's go.
Brr!
Oh my gosh, it's so cold.
Where is that map you had?
I see where we're going.
I don't know where we are.
- [Steve] We gotta go back to that town, correct?
- You need to look at it because I don't-
- [Steve] I will, all right.
- "Drive yourselves to the city of Reims."
- Got it.
- [Jet] What do you seeing, Cordy, anything?
- Nothing really.
We get in this town, just stop at any place of business
because I don't have the faintest idea where this Reims is.
- [Cord] See if I can find us a -.
- Warm, somewhere warm.
- [Both] "Drive yourselves to the city of Reims."
- Let's go. [groans]
Warm Mercedes, warm Mercedes.
"Listen to what you saw."
So maybe this Joan of Arc speaks.
- [Dan] Yeah, I'm sure it does.
- She goes, "My name is Joan of Arc."
[paper tears]
- "Find the only outdoor statue of Joan of Arc."
- [Carol] Rocking, let's go.
- [Brandy] Check that out.
- [Carol] It's gorgeous.
- My house.
- Although, it would be a little quiet living here.
- [Brandy] That would be fine.
- I don't know that you can get your oils.
You'd have to go to Paris.
- Oh yeah, Paris' only two hours away.
- [Carol] Yeah.
- We can just have a little country house here,
a little flat in Paris.
- [Carol] Beautiful.
- We're in the city of Reims and I'm probably butchering it.
- We are looking for the only outdoor statue of Joan of Arc.
- Do you speak English?
- [Local] Little.
- [Steve] Joan of Arc?
Statue, Joan of Arc?
No no?
Thank you.
Something's wrong with the Joan of Arc.
- Maybe it's Arc de Joan.
Like Arc de Triomphe is arc of...
Triomphe.
- [Jet] Joan of Arc.
- Where? - [Jet] Where you at?
- [Cord] Oh.
- Looking for her.
- We gotta stop.
Excuse me.
Joan of Arc.
It's a statue. - Outdoor.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- Cathy?
- [Local] Drol.
- Cathy Drone, okay, Cathy Drone.
- [Local] The place.
- Okay. - [Local] Viola.
- Cathedral, cathedral!
It's in front of the cathedral?
- Oui. - Okay.
- Okay, that makes sense.
Thank you so much.
People really do not speak good English here.
- All right, open it up, babe.
- [Both] "Drive yourselves to the city of Reims."
- Let's go, babe.
The quicker we get in the car, the warmer it gets.
I will head back out here, baby, I think
and see what we can find to ask.
- [Micheal] Well, let's park, make our way on foot.
The Office of Tourism.
Let's go that way.
- Outdoor statue of Joan of Arc?
- [Steve] Show us, please.
[saw music]
- Oh, look there's the musician right there!
Who?
Merci beaucoup.
Do you know what this is?
- [Local] This is a name like a champagne, Leclerc Briant.
- [Steve] Where would it be?
- Epernay.
- [Allie] Let's go.
- [Steve] I would love a little bubbly.
- We're looking for the outdoor statue of Joan of Arc.
- On this square. - Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- [Cord] This is a square.
- [Jet] They usually put statues in squares.
- [Cord] They put statues in squares.
- [Jet] Watch out for the dog crap.
Holy cow, Cord, look at that!
- [Cord] Dang. - [Jet] That's rank.
- [Cord] Look, that's Joan of Arc there on that horse.
That's what we're listening for right there.
- [Louie] There's Cowboys.
- [Both] Thank you.
- [Cord] Champagne. - [Jet] Leclerc Briant?
I think we got Champagne on our map.
- [Cord] Do we?
- You know there's a town
about km down the road named Champagne?
Let's go, let's go.
Good to see you, man.
- Good to see you guys.
Go back to the information center.
[saw music]
- [Jet] I think it's Chalons and Champagne.
Follow your signs to Chalons.
- We're good.
- [Jordan] There she is.
She's on a horse.
- [Dan] Are you serious?
- Yes.
That's how she's most often depicted.
Thank you.
Leclerc Briant.
Thank you, Joan.
[saw music]
Okay.
- [Dan] What does that sign say right there?
- [Jordan] Office De Tourisme.
- Look on the map, it's here.
- Epernay.
- [Jordan] Oh, boys!
- Did you find it?
- [Jordan] Yeah, it's, we got this.
- Okay, good.
- And where is it?
- [Local] Coming here, and it's here.
- [Micheal] Thank you very much.
[doors shut]
- [Jordan] Champagne!
Oh my gosh, man, we're gonna have champagne.
How do you make champagne? - I don't know.
- Is it wine and then you just add club soda?
- [Carol] Hey, on the horse, isn't she?
Oh, there's singing.
This is it!
That's cool.
- Playing a saw.
- [Carol] Hey, Leclerc.
Oh yeah, let's go.
- [Brandy] We're in the Champagne region.
I want some champagne!
[paper tears]
- All right, let's dance.
We got some catching up to do.
- [Jordan Lloyd] We're leaving in last place.
- I'm fired up.
We got a second chance.
There's a reason why we're here, you know?
We have to take advantage of that reason,
try as hard as we can and we'll catch up.
- Joan of Arc, he carried the, and right?
- [Jeff] She.
- Yeah.
- [Jordan Lloyd] He carried all the animals.
- She.
That was Noah. [chuckles]
- Oh, Noah's arc.
- [Jeff] Yeah. I wonder why we're last!
[both laugh]
- [Steve] Trying to find Leclerc Briant.
We go past the turnaround.
- [Allie] Gosh, I cannot- - Oh, I need that turn.
- I can't do it, I don't know.
- [Jordan] We're following Mike and Louie.
- [Micheal] Here we go, Leclerc Briant.
It's not that easy to find.
- [Jordan] Leclerc Briant, this is us.
- [Dan] Entire.
Ooh, clue box full of clues.
- [Multiple] Road block.
- [Micheal] Who's ready to cave in? [laughs]
- Since the very night that it was invented,
champagne has been the centerpiece for countless
rituals of celebration.
And today, teams must learn to party like it's .
They'll first repel over ft down into the aging
caverns of the winery.
Once inside, they must search the caves filled
with champagne bottles for one that is specially marked.
Then, in a tradition established by the officers
in Napoleon's army, they'll celebrate their victory
by using a saber to slice the cork off the bottle.
[bottle pops]
When they do, the pressure will cause the champagne
to sh**t out along with their next clue.
- I'll do it.
- Let's go do it. - Yeah, do it.
- Kick some butt, baby, come on.
[suspenseful music]
- I'm gonna freaking pee myself.
I don't do this.
Daniel has three roadblocks to my one,
so the minute I opened it, I was ready to say,
"I'm gonna do it!"
I read foot repel and I'm like, "Oh god."
Make sure I'm good, sir.
- [Attendant] Yes.
- [Jordan] I mustn't fall.
- [Dan] Come on, Jordan. No fear.
- [Jordan] Oh, my gosh.
That is a long way.
Good. - No problem, no problem.
- [Jordan] Okay, thank you.
Wow.
Oh wow!
I am repelling down a freaking wine cellar right now.
What?!
Yes.
Oh my god.
- [Steve] Leclerc Briant, this is it.
- [Allie] Oh, it is.
Woo!
This place is hard to find.
- Sup y'all?
Steve, this is your kind of place.
- Looks like upper body.
You wanna do it?
- Yeah, let's do it.
I'll do it.
- There we go.
Well, that was really fun.
Less nerve wracking than I thought.
Search for a bottle of champagne.
Where is it gonna be colored?
Damn.
Okay, this is a little bit trickier than I thought.
[dramatic music]
- [Louie] This is crazy.
Hell yeah.
- I have never been to a champagne cellar before in my life.
Oh god, there's more.
[Jordan groans]
it's much harder when you get down here
than you would think.
- Chalons and Champagne center.
- [Jet] Look for a stinking winery.
- [Cord] We'll get some direction.
- [Jet] We're trying to get here.
- [Driver] It's to Epernay.
Here is Chalons Champagne.
- Dang, Jet.
We went to the wrong town.
- Yeah, we went to the wrong town.
Not just the wrong place, the wrong town.
That was a problem.
[Jet groans]
- [Cord] It wouldn't be hard for us to be last right now.
[dramatic music]
- The wrong way.
Navigation was not our thing today.
- No.
We just lost about another kms.
- I'm looking for one that's marked with our,
you know, marked.
Oh, wait a second.
Yes, I got one!
Marked!
Come on, baby.
Here are the stairs.
Oh man!
- That was awesome.
Now I gotta find a marked bottle.
[Jordan pants]
- Yeah baby, woohoo!
Searching for this marked bottle was hell.
- [Allie] Good job, you guys!
- [Jordan] Oh, we get to cut it!
- [Dan] Nice and hard.
[both cheer]
- [Jordan] Okay, here we go.
- [Both] Taittinger.
- [Phil] Teams must now figure out
that La Marquetterie Taittinger is a chateau and vineyard
in the nearby village of Pierry
where they'll find their next clue.
- [Dan] All right, let's go bro.
- All right.
There were millions of bottles down there.
[exciting music]
- [Dan] Here I go, oh my god.
Ooh, wow.
- Does that say Joan of Arc?
Let's read the statue, baby.
- [Caite] Oh, it has the animals.
- [Brent] That's what I said.
I think that's her on the left.
- Joan of Arc was a guy.
- Joan of Arc is a girl.
Why do you think her name's Joan?
- Okay, nevermind. Just kidding.
I'm thinking of something else.
[dramatic music]
I don't hear anything.
I don't think this is right.
[spacey music]
- Here we go.
Found it.
[dramatic music]
- [Steve] Thanks guys.
- [Attendant] Yep.
- [Steve] I don't care how small it is.
Here, here, here, here.
Back, back, back.
- [Louie] Here I come, Mikey!
- That a way, boy!
More cardio, Lou, more cardio!
You gonna open it with a saber.
You're gonna pa-poo!
He's a muscle man, he'll get it.
[both cheer]
How cool is that?
Oh, a clue.
Went flying.
- Oh, you're kidding me.
- [Micheal] Big sausage fingers aren't getting it, come on.
There you go.
- [Louie] Taittinger, La Marquetterie.
- Well, let's go check it out, baby, let's go!
Bring that clue.
- We're in the city.
Listen to what you saw and ask for a clue.
I'm curious to see what that means.
- Brent, I don't hear anything.
- All right, well, where do you wanna go, babe?
You wanna ask them?
- [Carol] No.
- Why? We got...
What are we gonna do?
Who else are we gonna ask?
Here, you seem to have one of those attitudes right now.
- I don't have an attitude.
- I'm just gonna listen to you.
No, I'm gonna listen to you. Where do you wanna ask?
- I don't have an attitude, you're the one-
- Figure it out, where do you wanna listen to?
Caite likes to push my buttons.
I think she enjoys it.
I think it's almost like a game with her.
- [Caite] You need to stop with your attitude.
- [Brent] What is this, a bank?
Let's ask the bank.
Joan of Arc?
- [Teller] The statue? - [Brent] Mm-hmm.
[speaking in a foreign language]
Aw. - [Caite] Oh.
Scoot your chair up.
Why did you scoot it back?
- [Brent] I did not.
I haven't even touched my chair.
- [Caite] It's further back.
- [Brent] No, it's not. - [Caite] Yeah, it is.
- Whatever, you just sit in the back seat.
- This is looking for a needle in a haystack.
It's not as fun as drinking it.
[tense music]
Just pop it.
[both cheer]
There's the clue!
- Very nice.
Good job!
- [Steve] We gotta go here now.
- [Allie] Merci beaucoup!
- All right, bye-bye.
Okay, we gotta find another place now.
- [Carol] I see a Mercedes up there.
Who is this? That's Steve.
Dammit!
- Carol and Brandy are just getting to the roadblock.
- Go ahead.
Repel feet down a shaft.
- Yeah, somehow I get all the height things.
- I've never repelled before.
- [Carol] You're gonna have a blast.
- [Brandy] Oh my god.
I'm so over this.
- It's a blast, honey.
- [Attendant] Slowly, slowly, slowly.
- [Brandy] God.
- [Attendant] Ahh, perfect.
- Good job, babe.
Well, hopefully she finds it quickly
and gets back up the stairs and hopefully,
she's not in a piss-ass mood
when she comes back up here.
- [Brandy] Wow!
That was fun.
Merci.
All right.
[suspenseful music]
It's a little hard to see in here, unfortunately.
Pretty cool down in here, though.
- That's the tourism right there.
Wanna check it out?
Do you know where this is?
- Taittinger.
- [Dan] If you can just get us there, thank you so much.
- [Jordan] Thank you.
- We gotta find where we're going, bro.
There's a hotel up here.
Bonjour, how are you?
We're trying to find this place here.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- Pierry, Pierry, Pierry.
- Taittinger is not in Epernay.
It's in Reims.
- It's in where? - Reims.
- [Dan] Oh, Reims. We're headed back to Reims.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- [Assistant] Would you like him to take you?
- You would be the best!
Thank you, sir!
- No way!
We just gotta follow him and we can do that.
We are police officers,
and we are professional car followers.
- [Micheal] All right, write that plate down.
- Thank you, thank you!
You're great! - [Dan] Bye!
- God, she's so cute!
Look, I think if you find a good-looking person
who can give you directions, it just doesn't hurt.
- [Brent] It's a gorgeous cathedral, holy moly.
- [Caite] I hear it.
[saw music]
We have to go wherever this is.
- [Brent] Baby, come on.
[suspenseful music]
- [Brandy] [sighs] Please, bring it to me.
- [Carol] You have to saber it off.
- Ooh!
Is it good to taste?
- [Carol] Taittinger.
- Merci, monsieur.
- We're gonna ask this painter.
- [Allie] Bonjour!
- [Steve] We need to find this place.
- Reims.
- [Allie] Wait, that's where we were.
Merci beaucoup.
Let's turn around.
- We think it's back right where we were.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- Okay.
- We're going to Pierry.
[dramatic music]
- Leclerc Briant.
I wonder if everybody's been here and gone.
There's still something in there.
Knock yourself out.
I haven't the faintest idea about repelling,
but fixing to find out I guess.
All right, all right.
Yeah!
Good stuff!
I hope I got long enough rope.
- We have not had a very good morning.
By the looks of the table,
there's been four teams ahead of us.
That's not good.
We started out in third.
- My ropes about wore out right there! [chuckles]
Yeah!
Bottles of wine.
[Cord whistles]
I wonder how big the race flag is.
[saw music]
- Is that Joan of Arc?
This is it!
Champagne.
Go here?
- [Jordan Lloyd] Yeah, let's go.
[suspenseful music]
- [Cord] Oh!
[Cord hoots]
We gotta go bust the bottle.
There's your, there's your clue.
Oh my gravy.
- Yeah, I can't even pass that.
Thank you.
- Merci.
- You're welcome.
- [Cord] Gonna ask this girl.
Do you know where this is?
- Reims.
- [Cord] I thought you said Reims?
Merci.
[fanciful music]
- What a load off our chest this guy's taking us here.
We're following a nice Frenchman
in a Porsche through France.
It doesn't get any better than this.
I love this guy.
There's the clue box!
- [Louie] Merci, merci, merci!
Thank you, my friend. - Thank you so much!
- All right, come on, come on, wasting time!
- [Micheal] Thank you! - Thank you, thank you!
- [Both] Detour.
- From cultivating the perfect grape
to cultivating the perfect presentation,
the work associated with champagne
is both exhausting and exacting.
Now, teams must decide what kind
of work suits them best, Tower or Terra.
In Tower, teams must use exactly glasses
to build a tower exactly levels high
with only one glass on top.
If they can solve that equation and build the tower
without breaking any glasses,
they can fill it with champagne and receive their next clue.
In Terra, teams must search an entire square kilometer
of the barren wintry land for a tiny cluster of grapes
marked with race colors.
Once they've picked their prize,
they must bring it to the harvest foreman
who will give them their next clue.
- I'm gonna say let's search.
levels, that's a lot of glasses.
- That's a lot of glasses, bro.
- I'm a bull in a China shop, he's a bull in a China shop.
I say why are we gonna mess with something like that.
All right, let's go up this way, come on.
Okay.
You gotta be kidding me.
[triumphant French music]
This is crazy.
- There are grapevines everywhere.
- [Micheal] Eagle eye it, eagle it.
Let's do a traditional grid search.
We gotta double time it, Louie.
- I know we need to speed this up, but I mean,
you don't wanna miss anything either.
[exciting music]
- I think I see Taittinger.
Yes, I see it, Taittinger at the end on the white building.
- [Dan] Hello. - [Jordan] Hi.
- It's not in Reims.
It's in Pierry.
Pierry is a little village close to Epernay.
- Oh my god.
- You are at Taittinger.
That's where we do the champagne.
- [Dan] Right. - But, La Marquetterie
is a castle, like a big mansion.
- Oh boy, how did we mess that up?
Well, that's how fast you can go from the front
of the pack to the back.
The lesson in this leg of the race was
don't always trust a pretty girl.
- It is right here.
I'll do it. - Cave in.
- Holy crap.
Can I fit? [chuckles]
Woo!
It's pretty fun, babe.
Holy moly.
That's fun!
That's pretty cool
I've never done, I've never repelled down anything.
- [Jeff] What are you looking for?
Leclerc Briant.
Dude, what's up with that?
- [Jordan Lloyd] What is that?
- I don't know. [laughs]
- Oh, here's one.
All right.
Gonna head back.
All right!
That's cool, I wanna get one of those.
Taittinger La Marquetterie. [chuckles]
[speaking in a foreign language]
- That's as good as it got.
- Unfortunately, we did not get to drink any champagne.
[triumphant French music]
- [Louie] Looks like a lot of clusters in here.
Read and yellow, red and yellow, come on.
You're kidding me.
Right here, there's red grapes.
- That's not marked with race colors.
- That's red and yellow.
- [Micheal] Those are not red and yellow, boy.
St. Anthony, help me.
- There it is.
What do you wanna do?
You have to go in a cave. - You do it.
- I'm gonna get claustrophobic.
Have a panic att*ck.
- It said cave and I was like,
"I don't wanna be stuck in a dark place."
- Hopefully, I get rabies in there.
I don't like heights but...
Oh, I have to go down there?
It's gonna be scary, I'll tell ya' that.
I'm not pretending like I'm cool about it or anything.
All right, watch out.
[speaking in a foreign language]
I'm gonna go a little slow.
You're the pro.
You kinda look like Santa Claus.
- We haven't seen anybody, but you never know.
Other teams could get lost or something.
- [Steve] There it is, it's right here!
Criminy! - [Allie] Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh!
- [Steve] Holy... [Allie gasps]
- [Allie] Oh my gosh!
- We're gonna have to fix that.
- [Allie] Come in here.
We're trying to find. - [Clerk] It's not here.
- [Steve] This is not it?
- [Clerk] No.
The village is called Pierry.
- [Steve] Wow. - [Allie] Oh my gosh.
- [Steve] We're going back.
- Oh man, you screwed the car up big time.
[car door shuts]
[car rumbles]
Oh my gosh, Dad, it's dragging.
It's that plastic rubbing on the wheel.
- I guess I'm gonna have to do something right here.
We're gonna have to get this out.
I want you to get in the car, I'm gonna pull this.
See if you can barely go.
- You want me to pull forward
while your hand is right there?
[tense music]
- All right.
[music continues]
Yay!
Is this good to drink?
I guess we gotta go here.
[sighs] Let's go.
[dramatic music]
- [Allie] That plastic part is dragging right on the wheel.
- [Steve] We need to cut this, honey.
- [Allie] We don't have scissors.
[dramatic music]
Oh my gosh.
- [Steve] Should we call for a new car or no?
- [Allie] I don't think this is gonna work.
We need a new car.
[dramatic music]
- [Allie] Dad, you're not gonna rip it!
Oh my gosh.
[dramatic music]
- [Steve] Allie, in my bag, there's some tape.
- [Allie] I'm looking for duct tape.
I don't know how much that'll help, but we gotta try.
- [Steve] Give me another one.
Just as much as you can on it.
Okay, let's go.
- [Allie] Hopefully it stays.
- Duct tape.
My wife before we left, threw it in there says,
"You can fix anything with duct tape."
Well honey, we'll see.
- We gotta stop and ask somebody.
Maybe this girl knows.
- [This Girl] Taittinger?
- No?
[speaking in a foreign language]
Okay.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Office of Tourism.
Do you know where this place is at?
- The city of Reims, here.
- [Brent] Oh, we gotta go back there.
Thank you so much.
- [Micheal] Let's go high ground and look down.
- Once we get to the end,
we're gonna probably continue our grid search.
- [Micheal] Well, I don't think we're gonna have
to continue for long, my brother.
- [Louie] No way! - [Micheal] Eagle eye Mike
found the grapes, baby!
Eagle eye.
I never miss anything.
Some beautiful grapes.
This is what I do.
If I can find cr*ck in someone's rear-end,
I can find grapes in a vineyard, I'm sorry.
- Deliver them to the harvest foreman.
- [Micheal] Merci beaucoup. - [Louie] Thank you, sir.
- "Drive yourselves to the next pit stop."
- Teams must now make their away across the city
to l'ORCCA, the culture administration
for Champagne, France.
Built more than years ago,
this historic mansion is the pit stop
for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here, may be eliminated.
- [Louie] Love you, I love you!
- Eagle eyes, baby, eagles eye they call me!
[Louie chuckles]
- Taittinger, Taittinger.
[speaking in a foreign language]
Oh man.
- [Cord] Obviously, we're in the wrong spot.
Holy moly!
You know what?
People pay thousands of dollars to get the tour
that we had today. - [Jet] Yeah.
- No, we get it for free and a Mercedes.
- And all day. - All day.
- Second time today we've went to the wrong town, so
getting used to it.
[dramatic music]
- [Jordan] Oh, there it is.
Tower or Terra?
- Tower. - We're gonna be doing Tower.
Okay, so Tower Tour.
[live violin music]
I personally believe that when you have a luck challenge
and a skill challenge, you always pick the skill.
I think we have seen a couple of champagne towers
in our day at Bar and Bat Mitzvahs that we've been to.
- This is it, right here.
Yes, oh, look how beautiful this place it.
- [Brandy] We choose Terra.
- [Carol] We just have to pick some grapes?
[dramatic music]
I mean, there's very few grapes.
I suppose that's the good news.
Is it specially marked?
- [Brandy] Yes.
- [Carol] This is insane.
- [Brandy] Bring me luck.
[dramatic music]
- Hold on, here we go, here we go.
Ah baby, right there.
- [Louie] No way!
- [Micheal] Yes!
Let's run, baby!
[both chuckle]
- [Louie] There's our best friend!
- Who loves ya', Phil!
- [Louie] Oui, oui!
[dallying music]
Merci, merci.
- [Phil] Louie and Micheal.
- Yes, sir?
Team number one, baby!
- As the winners of this leg of the race,
you have each won a five night trip for two
from Travelocity to La Blanc Spa and Resort
in Cancun, Mexico.
You'll enjoy daily spa visits,
an exciting deep-sea fishing trip,
and a private tour of the ancient Mayan ruins.
[both cheer]
The Detectives have done it again.
- The detecting got us here, Phil.
Europe has been fun.
I wish I had this attitude in South America.
Maybe we would've did better in the first couple legs.
But, we're feeling good now.
- [Caite] Do you know where this is?
- [Local] La Marquetterie.
- Where?
- [Local] I don't know.
- Where is this?
You don't know?
- No. - No?
[dramatic music]
[Carol tuts]
- [Carol] There's a few more grapes up here.
Honey!
Right here, right here, right here, right there!
- [Brandy] Where? - [Carol] Right there!
- [Brandy] Oh, I see it! - [Carol] Come on!
It's two rows over from where I am.
- [Brandy] You have the best eyes ever.
[Brandy cheers]
We gotta find the harvest foreman.
- [Carol] Bonjour.
Aw, thank you. - [Brandy] thank you.
Ciao!
[speaking in a foreign language]
I wonder if the children here are happier
because they grew up around people
drinking champagne. - [Carol] Drunk.
[live violin music]
- [Jordan] Let's go to the b*at of this music!
- [Dan] We do not need music.
It makes me nervous.
- [Jordan] Nice and slow.
It's getting a bit knocky.
Oh.
Somber.
So basically, what they're telling us is
when it looks bleak...
[live violin music]
- These are tough streets when you're kind
of looking for something.
Here, it says it right here.
We're going in.
There's another card here at least.
The lucky one, you think you have to find something?
Let's go for that right now.
- [Allie] Oh my gosh.
- Let's see how good your eyes are.
Hopefully, these grapes pop out at me like that curb did.
- [Carol] We've just gotta find l-'-O-R-C-C-A.
- [Brandy] I'm gonna ask this policeman.
- [Carol] Perfect.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- [Brent] Taittinger.
- [Caite] Oh, we can ask this cop.
- [Brandy] Oh, there's...
That's the, that's the lesbians.
- [Caite] Oh, that's the lesbians.
- [Brent] They're pointing back that way.
- [Caite] Ooh, let's follow them.
- Merci.
- [Caite] Yes, we caught up to the lesbians.
- [Brent] We're awesome.
- [Carol] This is it. - [Brandy] Yeah. Go.
- [Caite] Let's do it.
- [Brent] Game on, let's go.
[both huff]
[both chuckle]
- [Phil] Come on in, guys.
- [Brent] We didn't do the Detour.
- We didn't get a clue for the Detour.
- Taittinger. - That's it.
- [Brent] That's what we're looking for.
Damn.
- I was like, "How did they get here so fast?"
- [Brent] I was wondering why we got here so quick.
We did that twice now!
- [Caite] All right.
- All right, we gotta keep looking for Taittinger, baby.
- Damn, I wanna get the stupid lesbians out.
I hate them.
[slow music]
- Oh, of course.
He's a mime, he doesn't talk.
- Merci beaucoup. [giggles]
- And in the spirit of the mime, I will say
that you are team number...
[both cheer]
- [Carol] Oh my god. - I have welcomed
some very strong all-female teams to the mat in the past.
- Yeah.
- And I wanna know, are you gonna win this race?
- Let's not jinx it. - [Phil] Okay.
- We want to win.
We're gonna do our best.
We're gonna try our hardest
and I'm saying, yeah, we're gonna win.
[dramatic music]
- [Steve] Come on, baby, come on.
Pop out on me.
Red and yellow.
Right here, honey! We got it!
This is the reason we're gonna kick ass.
- [Allie] Good eyes, good eyes.
Bonjour.
- Are you a mechanic?
- Are you a mechanic.
- Okay, here we go.
[dramatic music]
- [Jeff] Oh, is that it right there?
- [Jordan Lloyd] Yeah, this is it.
Hi. - [Brent] Hi.
Is this this place?
- No, La Marquetterie is close to Epernay.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Oh my gosh, this is awful.
- Merci, thank you so much.
[Jeff groans]
- [Jordan Lloyd] Jeff, what are the chances? Geez.
- [Jeff] What are the chances, right on.
- Well, at least we, it has the same name.
[dramatic music]
- La Marquetterie.
Baby, good eyes.
One car's in front of us.
We can pass them.
"Search the vineyard for one cluster of grapes."
Dude, we should definitely probably do this.
What do you think?
- [Caite] Um...
- [Brent] Because, the glasses could break and fall.
- Okay. - Glasses?
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- All right, let's look for Terra.
So you start here and I'll go down, you know, just a few.
- I did not wanna do the grape one,
but I'm just gonna go with Brent's decision
because he always seems to think that he knows
which one he think is the easiest.
Because, I think looking for something in about two acres
is absolutely stupid.
- This is . - That's .
- Yes, it just has to be levels high.
- I don't see how this makes any sense.
- There's not a way to build it up like a true pyramid.
- We're missing the way.
The bottom line is we didn't know how to do it
and we tried our damnedest to do it.
- We can go like this with just three.
- Oh, here we go.
The moment of truth.
- [Both] Taittinger.
- I think that we have- - There's the box right there.
There's two cars here.
We're gonna do the Terra.
We'd rather be looking for the grapes
than stacking the glasses.
I got a shaky hand.
[Jet laughs]
Holy moly.
- [Brent] Is that? Who's that, the cowboys?
- [Cord] Okay, there's Brent and Caite.
The quicker we can get out of here, the better.
[dramatic music]
- Steve and Allie, you are team number three.
- Oh my gosh, we went to the wrong town!
- I have a car out there that I hope you guys insured.
- We're looking for a cluster of grapes that's marked.
Our strategy was to search as many rows
in as little amount of time as possible.
[Jet whistles]
- [Cord] You got it?
- Do you wanna build or you wanna keep looking?
- He found one.
- It's right there.
- [Brent] Yeah, he did find one.
- Do you wanna build or do you wanna look?
Answer my question!
- Good eyes, bro.
- [Brent] Damn, baby.
- [Caite] I think we should build.
I just think we would've already been done building.
- Bonjour!
Drive yourselves to the next pit stop.
Freaking nice eyes, bros, nice eyes.
- [Jordan] Drop a glass, I think I'll scream.
- We decided really with no other choice
to stack three more individual glasses on top
of the existing individual glass
to make , , and then .
Pour it.
Pour it.
- A lot of good grapes up here.
- [Caite] Whatever Brent.
I'm just gonna follow you.
- [Brent] No, I'm gonna follow you.
Where do you wanna go, babe?
- [Caite] Yeah, just go.
- [Brent] No. Every time I was make a decision, you hate it.
- [Caite] Just go.
- [Brent] You make the damn decision.
- [Caite] I'm not making any decision.
- [Brent] Of course not. You're not.
- It's just because all your decisions are usually wrong.
- You would rather just not do nothing
and then tell everybody when they're wrong.
- I'm just following you.
- [Brent] You just push the blame on everybody.
- Brent's to blame.
[cork pops]
- [Dan] We are handed not the bottle of champagne.
- [Jordan] No.
- But the gigantic, humongous,
pound- - [Jordan] Bucket of a bottle.
- Bucket bottle.
God, why couldn't I be '?
We had to successfully pour the champagne
without the tower coming down.
However, this was very unsturdy. [exhales]
- [Jordan] Nice and easy.
My heart is pounding.
[dramatic music]
- [Caite] I think we should build.
- [Brent] All right, let's go.
I'm gonna listen to you.
The tower, right here.
[violin music]
- [Caite] There's the boys.
- Doing a great job.
- [Caite] You get the glasses.
I'll make it even.
What are you doing? Just hand 'em to me.
One, two, three, four, five, six-
- I might as well let you build this by yourself.
- [Caite] . - [Brent] You're Ms. Perfect.
Ms. Perfect- - I know,
that's why you date me.
- [Brent] Ms. Perfect, here you go.
[both cheer]
- [Cord] Champagne, again.
- Jet and Cord, you guys are number four.
- Aww, that'll work! - Yeah!
- It'll work for me! - Golly!
Still the middle of the pack at least.
It's a scary day.
- My goodness.
[dramatic music]
- [Jordan] You're doing a great job.
Wow.
It looks cool.
[tense music]
[light music]
I have a feeling that Daniel and I are gonna get
some calls from Bar or Bat Mitzvahs across the world,
asking for us to build a champagne tower for them
and we want people to know that we're available for that.
- But, we're very expensive.
- Very, very expensive.
- Nice job. - [Jordan] I love you.
- I love you too.
This is actually really good.
- [Jordan] It's delicious. [sighs]
Oh my god, we survived.
- [Brent] If would've found that stupid grape...
- It was a very, very, very difficult task.
- From now on, I'm just gonna listen to every single
word Caite says.
I think we probably would've found a set of grapes by now,
but I would've had my ear chewed off also
for the last hour and minutes.
[dramatic music]
- Well, this is the town.
Next clue is somewhere around here, so we'll find
out our fate once we get that clue.
- [Brent] You gotta get , baby.
- [Caite] And then stick it up there.
- There's no way it's gonna hold there.
That has to be so...
I told you!
You have to have patience today, Caite.
She'll wear you thin sometimes.
Are you ready to check it?
- [Caite] Yeah.
[speaking in a foreign language]
- Is that good?
- Yeah, it's perfect.
Look at how pretty it is.
You can go a little slower, baby.
- Yeah, I'm trying not to pour too much.
God, it's a never ending bottle of champagne.
- [Caite] A little slower, a little slower.
[dramatic music]
A little higher above the glass, higher.
[Caite gasps] [glass shatters]
- [Brent] This sucks.
[dramatic music]
[tense music]
[glass shatters]
- When the glasses fell,
it was like my heart hitting the floor.
This sucks.
Let's go look for grapes.
Come on. [groans]
this is so frustrating.
- [Caite] Baby, just calm down. It's okay.
We did our best.
- [Jeff] Maybe this is La Marquette?
- [Jordan Lloyd] Yeah.
- [Jeff] There's another car, we caught up.
Somebody might still be in there.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Oh my gosh.
- [Jeff] It's a race to the finish.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Wanna look? - [Jeff] I guess.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Oh my gosh.
- Is that people searching up there?
Maybe we should do the thing because they can't find it.
You know what I mean?
We still got a chance.
- Oh my god, come on.
- [Jeff] All right, I'll, I pick the glass.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Okay. - [Jeff] Come on.
We could still get this, Jordan.
Hello.
Did you ever see one of these before?
- [Jordan Lloyd] Uh-uh.
- You never when someone pour?
It's gotta be like a pyramid.
- [Jordan] Come on, bro.
Come on, beech.
- Dan and Jordan,
you're team number five!
[slow music]
- Things are meant to happen for a reason.
We came in here without a million dollars
and we're doing perfectly fine.
We can leave without a million dollars.
- You walk a little bit faster.
- [Caite] You don't have to be mean.
- [Brent] Well, just walk.
I mean, come on.
[tense music]
- [Jeff] I definitely have no doubt
in my mind that we could do this.
I'm gonna catch up and b*at 'em.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Yeah.
[tense music]
- [Caite] Hey Brent, I see one!
- [Brent] Oh god!
We should've stayed with this.
- [Caite] I'm sorry.
- It doesn't have to be perfect.
You see what I'm saying?
We just have to get up high.
- Look at this.
- [Caite] I'm sorry.
[tense music]
[glass shatters]
[music rises]
- Here are your grapes, bro.
Thank you. - [Caite] Thanks.
- [Brent] Let's get rocking.
- [Caite] Baby, I just wanna say how sorry I am.
- I'm not gonna take blame on this one.
- I love you very much. - [Brent] I love you.
- [Jeff] Jordan, let's just try to get this done
with the least aggravation.
- Here it is right here.
- Unfortunately, it's deja vu.
- [Brent] Go! [pants]
Crikey, come on.
- Brent and Caite, pick a number.
- Lucky number six, maybe.
All right.
- Five. Six? Okay.
[both chuckle] I'm what?
Excuse me.
- Add up all the fingers.
We started this race really strong and in the front.
- It's really frustrating to be in the back
because I want to win this thing and it's really annoying
me and I do not want to be last anymore.
Damn it!
[tense music]
- [Jeff] Please, let us find it.
Please find it.
I feel like a yo-yo, don't you?
- [Jordan Lloyd] My hands are freezing.
I haven't seen anything.
- [Jeff] What are we doing this for?
To teach kids to stay in school?
It's out there somewhere.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Oh my god.
- [Jeff] This is crazy.
- [Jordan Lloyd] Here it is. - [Jeff] Shut up.
- We found it!
[Jeff laughs]
I thought we were gonna be out here all night.
- [Jeff] How pissed do you think Phil is?
- We're headed to the pit stop to talk to Phil.
[slow music]
- Thank you.
- Jordan and Jeff, you are the last team to arrive.
- What?
- And I am sorry to tell you that you have been
eliminated from the race.
- All right. - Yeah.
- But, maybe now you guys will get some time alone.
- To be together / in any relationship is a struggle.
We've been through the worst, I feel like.
I got one million reasons to complain, but I can't.
Doing this is priceless, you know?
So I definitely got paid in a way that most people don't.
- I got to do fun stuff.
I've never traveled before.
It really was just the best.
- That was beautiful, Jordan.
[Jordan chuckles]
[both chuckle]
[exciting racing music]
[exciting racing music continues]
- [Phil] Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
Next week on "The Amazing Race", teams fly to...
- Seychelles?
- Seychelles.
- Seychelles.
- Whoa.
- [Phil] The island nation of Seychelles.
- Game over.
- Brent, stop, I'm trying-
- [Phil] And when Brent and Caite get bull-headed-
- Freaking idiot.
- You're a freaking idiot.
- [Phil] Brent threatens to quit the race.
- Oh, I quit then.
