30x05 - The Claws Are Out

Post by bunniefuu »

PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on "The Amazing Race."

With eight teams competing, a sailing

challenge in the French Riviera had

Evan fighting tooth and nail.

[clink] - Oh!

You?

OK

PHIL KEOGHAN: And Cedric was forced to sink or swim.

No!

PHIL KEOGHAN: But no one was safe

when teams faced the second Head-to-Head of the season.

Dun, dun, dun!

PHIL KEOGHAN: Team Ocean Rescue lost match after match--

Ugh!

PHIL KEOGHAN: --before showing better ball

control than Team Slam Dunk.

Cedric and Shawn, you have been eliminated.

We win as a team, and we lose as a team.

PHIL KEOGHAN: When the race continued in Provence,

Team Chomp bit off more than they could chew

and couldn't recover.

You have been eliminated from the race.

Lucas and Brittany raced with a renewed energy,

winning the leg--

one-- and each other's hearts.

[cheering]

Would you marry me?

Of course!

I am ecstatic.

I'm almost in shock.

I'm so happy.

LUCAS: After the race, we're going to have to work

together to get through life.

And this shows that we can work together.

I want to have a beach wedding.

Yes.

Sunset.

Can I be your flower girl?

[laughter]

It sounds like we all want to go.

[laughter]

That's what you call bling.

Flight to Prague.

Prague.

PHIL KEOGHAN: Now, teams will book their flights

to the Czech Republic and the capital city of Prague,

using the fast and easy to use Travelocity mobile app.

Here's the app.

All right, let's look at flights.

We used the Travelocity app to book our flight.

It was really convenient.

And lucky for us, it landed us on--

Yay!

--the first flight to Prague.

Slide to purchase.

OK, we found our flight.

Made easy by the use of Travelocity.

Boom.

All right, we're going to book this flight.

We arrive at : AM.

Slide to purchase.

Just that easy.

Caution, double U-Turn ahead.

Double U-Turn ahead. Ooh.

PHIL KEOGHAN: Teams are now heading

to the landlocked country of the Czech Republic.

Their first clue and the double U-Turn

are here, in front of this neo-Renaissance masterpiece,

the Rudolfinum.

LUCAS: Taxi? BRITTANY: Hello.

Marseilles airport, please.

Pretty much a month or two into our relationship,

nine years ago, I knew he was my one.

LUCAS: And I have the same feelings of--

the first year that I was with Brittany,

I knew I was going to marry that girl.

We are riding a high, but we want

to be careful because you don't want to get too confident.

I actually would be happy if we don't get first place

the next couple of legs, because if not, you've

got a target on your back, and everybody wants to U-Turn

you when they get a chance.

Maybe we shouldn't have won that last leg.

[gasps] Caution, Double U-Turn.

And another top three finish.

Yes, that's five for five.

Long may it continue.

And you never know what's coming.

Yeah, you don't know what's coming.

We've had Head-to-Heads.

Now, there's a U-Turn.

There's less and less room for error.

So far, people don't seem to be wanting a U-Turn, but--

You add a little pressure in any situation, things

change real quick.

I think at the beginning, people did

count us out because we kept coming

in, like, always at the end.

Yeah, we would have counted each other out, you know.

We would have been like, hey, don't worry about them guys.

We're k*lling ourselves.

We'd rather people count us out instead of

see us as a thr*at running around with a bull's eye

on our back.

EVAN: The possibility of a U-Turn

does make me a little bit more insecure

about my relationships with the other teams.

ALEX: I don't think anyone else would have plans of U-Turning

at this point.

CONOR: But you never know what's going on behind closed doors

and behind their little heads.

You never know.

Some people could have dark thoughts

about U-Turning people.

HENRY: Does everybody have the same flight?

We're getting in at .

: AM? HENRY: Yeah.

What about you guys?

JESSICA: We get in at I think :.

EVAN: OK.

JESSICA: Once we land, we've got to make up some time.

I was trying to be extra smiley so when

they get to the U-Turns--

CODY: Oh, yeah, very smart.

We really lucked out and are on the first flight

with Team Extreme, the twins--

HENRY: Ocean Rescue.

--and Ocean Rescue.

And then the second flight, that's Big Brother,

violinists, and IndyCar.

HENRY: And IndyCar.

What are you guys thinking about this Double U-Turn?

It's not ideal for the people on the later flight.

Right.

Not loving last place, you know.

Double U-Turn ahead.

I know, yeah.

Claws come out.

I know.

So we're off, leaving in last place.

We're super excited about it.

I want to be excited to go to Prague.

More than that, I just don't want to be out of the race.

We're headed to Prague.

I'm a little nervous because there's a Double U-Turn ahead.

EVAN: I think absolutely whoever from the second flight

gets to the U-Turn first will probably U-Turn somebody.

Drama, I know.

It's heating up.

Yeah, it's really getting a lot more contentious now.

[music playing]

Taxi!

We need to go to the Rudolfinum.

Hopefully we keep our lead on the second flight.

There's not really that much difference in between flights.

An hour maybe.

We need to really take advantage of every second

and race like we're last.

It is gorgeous.

JEN: It's so pretty here right now, though.

Yay!

And we got the world's fastest--

- Cab driver. - --cab driver.

We're so thrilled.

Milos is rocking it out for us.

The Rudolfinum, which we're just about to get to.

It's so gorgeous.

Love it.

EVAN: Oh, it's so beautiful!

Come on.

Can you wait?

Just look for a clue box.

Oh, everyone's here.

This way, this way!

Look.

There it is.

We choose not to U-Turn anyone.

We choose not to U-Turn anyone.

We choose not to U-Turn anybody.

We choose not to U-Turn.

We didn't have a necessity to U-Turn anybody,

and we didn't want to make any enemies.

Eric and I choose not to U-Turn anybody.

ERIC: People coming in behind us, they

probably have to fight it out because, hey,

it's do-or-die for them.

Henry and I are not going to no U-Turn anybody.

No U-Turn.

EVAN: Had we been in the back of the pack

and the risk calculus was such that it made more sense,

we absolutely would have done it.

Detour, this or that.

In this Detour, teams must choose between this or that.

That's all it says, "this or that."

Let's just go to that one.

OK, we're going to do that.

This?

We're going to do this!

We choose--

That.

We choose that, whatever that may be.

Milos knows where he's going.

Milos knows.

Very happy that we held on to our taxi

right now because I'm seeing the twins

and Yale trying to figure out where they're going.

There is a taxi coming over there.

Do you want to try to hail it? - No.

Why? - OK.

Because it might be faster.

That would be the reason why.

I thought that what we had discussed

is we're generally going to try to stay away from taxis.

OK, cool.

If that has changed--

OK.

I feel like time pressure is not a reason to change that.

Evan wins a good amount of arguments.

I would say I'm tactful but pointed.

HENRY: Sometimes, you do need someone who's willing to just

say, yeah, you're wrong.

I feel like you got a little--

OK, I feel like you did too, but--

Well, I just got freaked out when you start changing your--

Oh, OK. Cool.

But I'm actually glad the U-Turn was there.

Yeah.

So we're past that stretch.

Yeah.

It's up to the last three teams on that second flight.

Oh, gosh.

I don't envy them.

It's here?

- This is it? - Oh, yeah.

That's it, that's it. - OK.

You wait, we pay you.

OK, OK.

Detour.

To say that the Czechs love beer

would be a colossal understatement.

They drink more beer per capita than any other country

on Earth.

Na zdraví.

Teams must restock these empty kegs and search among dozens

for a full keg of beer.

They must then tap their keg and pour a perfect mug.

After they're approved by the brew master,

they'll have to navigate the maze of streets in Prague

to reach an address that will lead them to this riverbank

to find the party boat Fidelio, and deliver

their keg to the captain to keep the party going.

[band playing]

I worked at a brewery to supplement

my ski career, so, uh, I do know how to pour a perfect beer.

OK, we're restacking next to the original stack.

Two layers high.

I'm going to hand them down to you.

-by- on the bottom layer.

Just set them down!

We can reach them.

Once we got there, we figured, OK,

let's just power through this.

I can lift some kegs. I'd like to--

- We're rolling around kegs. - --certainly--

I totally do that in my spare time.

--pretty physically demanding.

I have the bruises to tell that story.

Yeah, she got more bruises. Here.

Kristi, Kristi, Kristi, take these!

Kristi! - I got this now!

Oh, my god.

Kristi, we had a plan and we were doing it well!

That.

Attend an university lecture and pass an oral exam.

Nicolaus Copernicus ignited the golden age of astronomy

here in Prague.

Teams must now listen to two astronomical lectures, one

stating that the Earth is flat, and the other stating the Earth

is round.

The Earth is not round.

It is flat.

The world is round.

PHIL KEOGHAN: They'll need to pay attention

to the facts, figures, numbers, and details

in order to pass an oral exam and receive their next clue.

Congratulations.

Copernican theory is absolute nonsense.

Flat-earthers, throughout the ages,

have used sextants and plain trigonometry

and found the sun and moon less than a few thousand miles

from Earth.

BRITTANY: As soon as we walked in there, I said to myself, oh,

no.

We're solid C students, so we were

worried that might be an issue.

Copernicus calculated that the sun's distance from Earth

was ,, miles.

In the next century, Johannes Kepler decided it was actually

over million miles away.

And Christian Mayer thought it was more than million.

We almost have our second layer done.

Then, we need to pour beer.

Good job.

This is it.

I don't drink much beer.

My husband-- - I like beer.

--drinks a lot of beer.

I like beer and football.

Here's a full one right here!

Yes.

Awesome.

Good job, Kristi.

OK.

I think we slide it on.

- Get it on and turn it. - Yes.

OK.

Oh, we have beer!

We have beer!

So, Hen, I'm going to hand you kegs,

and you're going to put them down, OK?

- OK. - You can--

This is about the foam.

You can brush off the foam.

This is about the foam.

Perfect pour is probably to the top with no foam.

You think?

I don't know.

I think you want just the right amount of foam.

We almost are there.

Uh oh.

The Earth is not round.

It is flat.

And it is as easily observable today

as it was , years ago.

Oh, my god.

Thank you Professor Van Horn.

Professor Beckworth, the floor is yours.

In , Nicholas Copernicus published his astronomical

model, which placed the sun near the center of the universe,

with the Earth and the other planets revolving

around it in a circular motion.

There's no way in god's name that I

was going to retain any of that information

to pass an oral exam.

LUCAS: That was ridiculous. BRITTANY: That was ridiculous.

- All right? - Yeah.

Let's go.

I wanted to skip school.

I was like, no!

I want to get out of class.

Take me to the beach.

That's what we always did.

We skipped school to go to the beach.

The Copernican system has several main features

that show that the Earth is in fact round.

EVAN: Good job, Hen.

We see Team Extreme right over there.

EVAN: They look like they're pouring their beer.

Brew master.

OK.

Where is the brew master?

This way, this way.

- Hello. - Hello!

Did we do OK?

No?

Not enough foam?

We need more foam?

OK.

OK. Two fingers!

Ugh, I was right the first time.

Taxi! Trevor!

Right there, right there.

That guy.

JESSICA: We're going to Rudolfinum.

Let's go.

I'm worried about the other two

teams on our flight U-Turning us, Big Brother and IndyCar.

They definitely would U-Turn in a pinch

if they needed to to win this game.

Oh, sure.

It's the only thing to do to save yourself.

Henry, this is what you missed by not being in a fraternity.

I got a full one.

Yeah?

OK, just put it to the side.

Better?

Woo!

Thank you so much.

So it just says to tap it, right?

Yeah.

Like that?

Yeah, perfect.

JEN: Uh, this way?

KRISTI: No, this is the exit.

JEN: We have to drop off a keg, then we need to run back

and then we need to get out of here.

Let's hope it's this way.

Is it something with that little nozzle?

Yeah, potentially.

Oh, that looks better, right?

Beautiful!

No. Wait, why did you--

Stop. Henry, stop.

Why are you doing that?

OK.

I feel like you-- why did you--

To get this to go faster.

I mean--

OK, OK, OK.

In the future, just like check or something before--

OK.

In , Nicolaus Copernicus published

his astronomical model.

squared.

The axis of the Earth is not perpendicular to the plane--

inches.

The Earth is constantly spinning eastward at a rate

of , miles per hour.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars.

,, miles.

Thank you very much for your time.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Come on. - There it is.

There.

Come in, come in.

Let's begin.

What is the distance in miles that Copernicus calculated

between the Earth and the sun?

No?

Oh, my gosh.

,, miles.

million?

Sorry.

It's wrong.

I think we need to keep going, man.

Because we can get that, go answer the question,

and then keep going back and forth.

Yeah.

Let's do it.

I'm going to hand them to you. You stack them.

Look what they did. OK?

There you go.

Let me check it.

OK.

OK, all right.

OK.

It's this street or it's the last one.

We'll find it.

We cannot find this building.

I don't know what to do, Jen.

Sometimes, the game sucks.

Copernicus calculated that the sun's distance from Earth

was ,, miles.

In the next century, Johannes Kepler--

What is the distance Copernicus calculated

between the Earth and the sun?

,,.

What is the name of the second lecturer?

Professor Beckworth.

Which planet did Copernicus say was

second farthest from the sun?

Pluto.

[buzzer]

That's all right. - You failed.

- That's all right. - That's all right.

We'll be back. - Progress is being made.

EVAN: How's this one?

Two fingers?

To your standards?

[laughter] Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's go. - Found it, found it!

It's this one.

OK, all right, all right.

This gives me unpleasant flashbacks--

Of the frites race.

--to the frites race.

EVAN: You got it, Henry!

Yes!

Oh!

I feel like I have too much foam.

So do the next one with a little less foam.

Your lovers around the world would be disappointed.

What is the law that causes objects to disappear

as they move away from us?

Law of perspective?

Up to how many miles away can a lighthouse be seen?

?

They could be seen by up to miles away.

?

That's wrong.

You failed.

The thing that's motivating us to the race is our families.

Show our kids, you know, don't give up.

Don't give up.

You just got to keep trying with things.

Henry, what are you doing?

OK, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Come on.

How long is this street?

"Naplavich"?

How long is it?

Naplavka is no street.

It's not a street. It's a river.

The river.

It's the river.

So we need to figure out what Fidelio is.

I do not like being an hour behind on the flight,

to tell you what.

We're here.

Perfect.

I'm a little nervous about the U-Turn.

The Rudolfinum is a musical venue,

so we're hoping that this is a musical challenge.

Dvorak's right there!

We played one of his quartets in our concert,

so that was cool.

Where is it?

Conor, you see something?

I think it's, like, behind there.

Let's go over here.

Keep going.

This way.

This way, Jess!

Jess, Jess!

Ouch.

U-Turn.

U-Turn.

We choose not to U-Turn anyone.

Maybe out here.

Should we do it?

I think we should.

When it came to the U-Turn board,

it was clear as day what needed to happen

to give us an advantage.

We're going to U-Turn the violinists.

The U-Turn's a w*apon, and we really

didn't have an issue of pulling the trigger

if it meant surviving.

Damn it!

- That sucks. - Oh, my god.

They're just getting to the board now.

I can't even look at them right now.

Wow, that was a power move by them.

Holy crap.

So we've been U-Turned by Cody and Jessica.

We have to do both sides of this Detour.

It didn't spin us into a frenzy, thankfully.

We just knew that we had to buckle down

and work really hard no matter what

the end result was going to be.

We got U-Turned right under Dvorak statue.

It's a little ironic.

We might have just lit a fire under their asses.

Look at that.

Ah, beautiful.

It's perfect.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Oh, beer.

Yes.

Beer is good, as they say.

I have a good relationship with water, orange juice, very

healthy hydrating beverages.

So that's my drink of choice.

This guy's the biggest liar I've ever heard.

Let's go back to that main street over here to the right.

That's where we came in.

So it's that way. Come on.

Ugh.

This is the wrong way.

We came from that way, babe.

Do we get to try the beer afterwards?

I hope.

Big Brother U-Turned the musicians,

so we hope we have a little bit of a gap.

In what year did Copernicus publish his astronomical model?

.

Is the Earth round or flat?

Round.

Round.

Congratulations.

Oh, thank you.

You have passed the exam.

That's about the same as our normal college.

It kind of took a while.

PHIL KEOGHAN: To get their next clue,

teams must head to this unique spot

where patrons experience a classic Czech treatment,

bathing in beer.

Oh, Big Brother just getting here from the second plane.

Let's get us a taxi.

This is not English.

This isn't English.

I am pretty positive you don't speak Czech,

and I know that I don't speak Czech.

So if this was what the challenge was,

we were going to pass the school and try the other Detour.

OK.

There's going to be stairs there.

[band playing]

Fidelio!

Hi!

Woo!

Thank you so much!

We got to get better directions.

This is not working here.

Not working at all.

Just keep moving, keep moving.

This is very frustrating when you

can't find where you're going.

Today's lesson, we will be discussing

opposing theories concerning celestial bodies

in our universe.

At the end, you will be administered a test.

So it is in your best interests to pay close attention.

That's probably it, right?

Yeah.

Hey!

[band playing]

Hi!

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

So tired.

We got horribly lost.

Is this it right here?

Wait.

You stay?

We have to ask one of the spa patrons.

Hello?

Hello.

Do you have our next clue?

Oh, my god.

Can you believe this? [LAUGHING] Oh, my god.

KRISTI: Yay!

Oh, this man has our clue.

JEN: Oh, thank you so much! - Thank you, thank you.

Thank you so much.

I'm jealous of these guys right now.

Oh, my gosh, route info.

Make your way to the Stara Cistirna Odpadnich Vod

and search outside for your next clue.

All right, let's go back to our cab.

Loading the old kegs up on the kegerator.

All right.

We've got to hook up the beer keg now.

That bad boy is tapped.

Oh, there's the perfect pour.

Right at the handle needs to be foam.

OK.

It's a little bit far from the perfect pour, I'd say.

Oh, whoa.

Hey!

- Oh. - It's not ladies.

That's for sure.

Hey!

What's going on?

Oh!

Hey, buddy.

Thank you, caveman.

I don't know if the jets are making the bubble or them guys.

Fidelio.

Where the hell is Fidelio?

Maybe somewhere on the water.

Where's the rest of the clue?

Please stop telling me that I've grabbed it.

You've had-- - I didn't tell you.

I-- - --everything in your hand.

I don't have a map.

Babe, look at me, look at me, look at me.

You're doing it again. You're getting frustrated.

I know, because you're blaming me for the clue.

- We left it. - I don't have anything.

He got frustrated.

I had to snap you out a little bit.

- Really? - Listen, after nine years--

- I don't remember that. - --not much is going to change.

We know each other very well.

We're very happy, but at the same time, it's real life.

It's going to have its good moments and its bad moments,

even if you are engaged.

All right, let's go that way.

There was no way we could pass that test.

Nope.

We like beer better, so we're going to go with the beer.

Yeah, that's good. That's got to be fun.

Yeah.

We definitely U-Turned the violinists.

But they were the only ones behind us,

so we had to make a strategic move.

Hello.

Hello.

Oh!

Oh, thank you!

Thank you!

Enjoy your bath.

Can we start?

OK, let's start.

OK.

What is the distance in miles that Copernicus calculated

between the Earth and the sun?

,,.

What is the name of the second lecturer?

Lecturer.

Beckworth, I think.

Professor Beckworth.

Which planet did Copernicus say was the second farthest

from the sun?

Jupiter.

You want the perspective?

Blue.

.

In what year did Copernicus publish his astronomical model?

-something

--

In --

.

[buzzer]

It's wrong.

You failed. - OK.

Roadblock.

Roadblock.

If this Kafkaesque room looks familiar to you,

that's because it led to a historic elimination--

Oh!

We're going to take the penalty for not doing the Roadblock.

--that left knee waiting at the pit stop overnight.

Prague native Franz Kafka was renowned

for his bizarre and surreal writing.

[telephones ringing]

The term "Kafkaesque" soon became the perfect word

to describe this nightmare scene.

Teams must figure out which phones have someone else

on the end of the line, and then decipher

what they have to say--

[telephones ringing] in the cacophony of this room.

They must figure out a famous Kafka quote, then fill it

in on this form and hand it in to the mysterious men

at the end of the room.

All right, I'm going in.

[telephones ringing]

Oh, my god.

[telephones ringing]

I'm just going to be thorough.

Out of hundreds of phones, only eight

had a recording of a word.

And I had to find these words to put together

this Franz Kafka quote.

Stops.

We couldn't write anything down.

We just had to rely entirely on our memory.

So my approach was just be extremely methodical,

go through row by row, make sure you don't miss a single phone.

This could take forever.

IndyCar is trying to pour the perfect beer.

I can't tell if they've been able to accomplish it or not.

- Two fingers? - Yeah.

Yeah, all right.

Just be careful.

Let's go.

Back to the ivory tower.

The year Copernicus published--

hit my knee whenever you hear an answer.

OK.

In , Nicholas Copernicus published his work.

In what year did Copernicus publish his astronomical model?

.

Is the Earth round or flat?

Hmm.

Is this a trick question?

Will we have to debate?

I'm going to go for, um--

BOTH: Round.

Congratulations.

Yes!

You have passed the exam.

Thank you.

Big Brother U-Turned us, so we had to do both Detours.

We were doing really well.

We have made up a lot of the lost time.

Ready to go do some kegs?

That's two, that's two.

I would drink that beer.

- Yeah? - OK.

OK, thank you.

OK.

Hope no one's drinking this.

There's nothing like a perfect beer

without like a woman's touch.

Be careful with it.

We need a nestle this baby.

The exit.

Over the road.

Here, let me lift it up.

Oh, dude!

What did I just tell you?

It's OK.

No, it's not.

Just listen, once.

Oh, you're one to talk.

I hope this is it.

Go get 'em.

[telephones ringing]

Oh, my god.

This is crazy, dude.

I don't know what's going on there,

but it sounds like somewhere I'm really

glad I'm not there right now.

Yeah.

JEN: It was a Kafkaesque scene.

The ringing was maddening.

[telephones ringing]

I got faith in our partner.

Oh, yeah.

We all got here, you know.

Hopefully they're working together in there.

-

I'm never answering another phone again in my life.

Good?

That's a good smile.

Yeah? - Yeah.

- Woo hoo! - Nice.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

BRITTANY: I want to say I enjoyed Prague much more

the first time I came.

LUCAS: Come on.

We're still doing this, babe. Let's go.

Move up. - I know.

It's just so frustrating.

Everybody is going to be lost.

Nobody knew where it was.

We've still got a long game. Come on.

We would have been done with the other one by now.

Careful.

Just be careful.

Dude!

Conor.

I know, but it's true.

But it's easy to see-- but it's easy to see

when it's coming off.

That's nice for you to be able to see it.

That's cool.

Naplavka.

Which way did we come from?

Do you think it might be across the bridge, babe?

I don't know.

I like the confidence, but your confidence

is a little bit much sometimes.

And your pessimism is a little bit much sometimes.

Do you think it's on this, like on the water?

- I have no idea. - I have no idea.

I'm so lost.

[band playing]

I hear music.

Is it the name of the barge, maybe?

The name of a boat?

OK, waiting full of beer among the empties piled high.

OK.

And then we have to restack them on these pallets.

OK.

We're trying.

Not giving up until we get there, you know.

You got this.

OK.

[telephones ringing]

What was that?

This is taking forever.

[band playing]

I think it's that boat.

That's him.

I heard the music too, and I told you, but I'm like, no.

Come on.

It's over here. Oh, my god.

Where?

Right there, the boat.

Thanks.

Good job, baby.

Oh, that's the lifeguards.

Is it?

Yeah.

Thank you.

What about here?

We definitely argue, but in the end,

we always get back together and be like,

whatever, let's keep going.

We just got to keep pushing.

Oh, here's a full one.

Tap, tap the keg.

[inaudible].

How do you feel about that?

Maybe they have a picture.

Right there, right there.

And that's what this looks like.

Man, look what you did. You're so good.

[telephones ringing]

Ugh!

I feel like we have a super competitive team.

Jen and I, we certainly don't give up.

This is crazy.

How about the words?

I just need to figure out where they go.

Thank you.

So I have to fill out this form in a very precise manner.

Do you want to possibly work together?

Yeah, I was about to say--

Do you want to split up the room?

Where have you already done?

All right, look, I went all the way through here.

Wife? OK.

If you want to start in that back corner.

Back corner? High-five.

We got it. - Let's do it.

EVAN: I'm very used to working in a partnership as a debater,

so I was really, really happy to have Daniel to work with.

Once we had all the words, we had

to figure out how to arrange them to make the correct quote.

Rejected.

I have all the words.

I just need to figure out where they go.

Brew master?

We have this for you.

Thank you.

Hi.

- What? - [laughs]

Oh, my god.

[laughs] Woo!

Gross.

Smells like butts in there.

Oh, my god. What is happening?

He's got one.

Thank you!

[non-english]

These guys are drunk in a spa.

Thank you.

Oh, that's disgusting.

Let's ask these guys.

Excuse me.

Naplavka?

On the river?

There's still a chance that the Roadblock is music.

[telephones ringing]

What did it say?

I haven't heard a single thing so far.

Have you gotten anything?

That?

This feels like it might be right.

Oh, my gosh.

Approved.

Oh, my gosh.

Thank you so much.

"The meaning of life is that it stops."

The quote is beautiful.

And life has meaning and purpose because it's finite,

and our experience on this race is finite as well.

Whether or not we win or we go home next leg--

We want to every moment.

Yeah.

Holy crap.

Where are we going?

PHIL KEOGHAN: This postcard picture view of Prague can be

seen from Letenské Park, overlooking the Vltava River,

which gently weaves its way through the city.

The last team to check in here may be eliminated.

Milos!

We got it.

This has got to be it.

[band playing]

Thank you!

That, if, wife, meaning.

That, it, wife, meaning.

RECORDING: Stops.

Stops!

Let's go.

- Life is the-- - We got all of them.

Stop.

We have stop.

Wife.

I wonder if "wife" is "life."

I know because "meaning of life," right?

The meaning of life is the stop?

The meaning of life is that it stops?

I mean, that makes sense.

Yeah.

We're going to give it a sh*t.

Be good, be good.

Come on.

Great.

Boom.

Thank you. - Whoa.

Woo!

All right.

Thank you.

Milos, thank you so much.

We love you.

Where are you, Phil?

This is beautiful.

Look at the city.

Stunning.

Woo!

Welcome in Prague, Czech Republic.

Kristi and Jen, I am pleased to tell you,

once again, you are team number one.

Woo!

And I have some great news for you.

As the winners of this leg of the race,

you have won a trip for two from Travelocity,

and you will be going to Perth, Western Australia.

- Cool! - I can't wait!

PHIL KEOGHAN: You're going to stay

five nights at COMO The Treasury,

overlooking Cathedral Square.

You're going to take a helicopter

trip to wine country, and enjoy biking

and snorkeling at Rottnest Island.

Such a great day!

Six legs in, all six, we finished in the top three.

And that's what we want.

We want to be there at the end.

We want to be in the top three the whole way through the race.

So far, we had the Head-to-Head,

which was a big surprise.

And there are going to be more surprises.

We've got six more legs.

And expect the unexpected.

Just be ready for anything.

Woo!

- OK, I'm doing it. - All right, perfect.

[telephones ringing]

Oh, my god.

What did you say? - I'll do it.

Why do I always get the hard ones?

Come on, babe.

You can do this.

The only problem, Alex is so bad at accents

or any sort of other language.

He's good at everything--

No, I'm telling you--

What did it say?

[laughter]

You have a clue for us?

[laughter]

Ah!

Where did that come from?

Where did this clue come from?

[telephones ringing]

I feel like I'm in high school again.

This is so frustrating.

How many words do you have?

I have five, but I'm missing three.

Back in Morocco, I paired up with Jessica

and we kind of worked together, but then she said, oh,

here, let me take your gnome. Jessica!

She has my gnome.

I don't know if it was intentional,

but I definitely have that in the back of my mind.

"This is it," and then stops.

And then I'm missing three.

Let me know if you find another word.

- Oh! - Hello!

Hey, Phil!

Good to see you.

Dude, how awesome is this?

Yeah, how awesome is this, huh?

Man!

You guys have been the underdogs.

I mean, you've completely shifted

your position in the race from where you started.

We still can't even believe we're here.

- Hey, guys! - Hey.

Wow. Look at that.

Fancy meeting you guys here.

- Good job, good job! - Come on in.

You worked with Daniel today.

Yes, we did.

We worked together at the Roadblock,

and it worked pretty well.

Well, I said it at the beginning of the race,

be ready for anything.

You've already had a few surprises

with the Head-to-Head competition.

- Oh, yeah. - Oh, yeah.

Didn't see that coming, right?

No, did not think it was here.

There are still six legs of the race left.

Oh, man.

This is the meaning of--

what's the rest?

Meaning of this.

Is that it stops.

Record.

Did you do that?

"The meaning of this is that it stops?"

No, I'm trying something.

But hold on.

It's completely different than this.

Back.

So what is the quote?

The quote is "the meaning of life is that it stops,"

not this.

Thank you.

The last thing I wanted was to give everyone

all of my hard work and then see them leave the Roadblock

before me, so I didn't feel comfortable

sharing the actual answer until I was heading out that door

with the clue in my hand.

Off the course, everybody's very friendly.

But I think there's always one point in the race

where you're not going to be able to trust that person

because they're going to do whatever

they can to continue racing.

Do I hate her?

No.

Do I trust her?

Hell no.

Yeah.

It's getting intense.

It's getting really competitive.

Big Brother screwed us.

She just literally lied to Brittany and I.

And she was giving us false words.

She what?

She fed us the wrong words so she would

make sure she got it first.

We know who to use next.

There it is.

There's the other team.

Who's that?

The violinists.

You can do it, you can do it.

Trevor has a great memory.

He is good at coming up with different combinations of--

like, with fingers to remember words.

We do that a lot in music to memorize the things you do,

so I think he'll be able to knock this out.

Hello, sir.

We really, really need a taxi.

Can you call another taxi?

Yes!

That's our boy!

Dude, thank you so much.

It's real hard to get a taxi in the suburbs of Prague.

Yeah, of anywhere.

Imagine we were in the first flight,

and we're still almost last.

CODY: That taxi is coming, though?

JESSICA: They're not here yet.

This is not good.

It would really suck to go up against the violinists

after we U-Turned them.

[telephones ringing]

Is, is, is.

I think I did those.

It stops at "meaning."

Oh, there's a taxi. Grab it.

- Come on, come on, come on! - No.

No stop.

If it comes down to whether or not a cab wants to pick us up,

it's cool.

Ugh.

We have to find a way to survive right now.

[telephones ringing]

I actually only got a couple of the words,

and then I just guessed "life," because Kafka's pretty dark

and that's a pretty dark sentiment.

Boom.

Thank you very much, gentlemen.

Woo!

We are going-- do you know this?

We're going here.

I think it would be much faster

if you go by the underground.

We're going to use mass transit.

We're New Yorkers, so hopefully we can figure it out.

Here we are.

We were U-Turned.

And now, we're on a subway, hopefully

in the right direction.

We really, really need a taxi.

Actually-- - Can you take us?

Can you take--

OK.

Best cab.

You're saving our lives.

That took way too long to find a cab.

It's really close.

Hey, look, there's a cab.

Taxi?

OK, let's go.

I'm glad we came here.

Letna Park.

Uh, we're going to the mat, the pit stop.

We'll make it there.

Thank you.

Who is that?

That is Indy.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me!

Where are they going?

They look exhausted.

- You think so? - Oh, yeah.

- You got the clue? - I do.

- What does it say, babe? - It's in a park.

Hanavsky Pavilion. Come on!

Is that what it says right there?

Yeah.

You are team number four, which means you

did a little bit of overtaking.

We're still in it.

That's all that matters.

That's what I keep saying. - Here we are.

- Hey, Phil! - Come on, guys.

Come on in.

Look at this!

Your first day of engagement, what has it been like?

We made it here and we ran around,

and we're still together.

And it couldn't be anything better.

You have yet to tell us what place we're in, Phil.

And I will tell you right now.

Newly engaged couple, you are team number five.

Oh, much better than I thought.

I did say at the beginning of this race

that there will be lots of surprises.

Anything and everything could happen.

I just want to get there.

Is that it?

Looking for a viewpoint.

A viewpoint seems to be overlooking something.

This isn't it.

Thank you.

Let's run together, yeah?

I'm going to ask.

OK.

Have you seen any viewpoints?

No?

I think those kids said we were going the wrong way,

and that's why they were laughing.

"At a viewpoint," says the clue.

- Nothing yet? - No.

That sucks.

We completely overshot it in the cab.

Oh, we got to go up a hill?

Come on.

Let's go this way.

Here's the mat.

Cody and Jessica, you are team number six.

Still in the race.

You've made it now halfway through the Amazing Race.

And for the next leg, be ready for anything.

And perhaps you made a good choice today.

I think everyone was afraid to throw their first

punch today with the U-Turn, and we

kind of set the tone on that.

Having come from "Big Brother,"

you know when the stakes are high,

you've got to do what you got to do.

Absolutely.

We're just trying to claw our way back to the top

and make sure we're not in this position anymore.

I don't know if it's a bad thing, though.

Maybe the other teams won't see us as being that strong,

and when the next U-Turn comes, they may not use it against us.

One can hope.

Hey!

Take in the view.

Trevor and Chris, I am sorry to tell you

that you are the last team to arrive,

and you have been eliminated from the race.

Thank you.

Where you were U-Turned today, a little irony, I understand.

We were under the watchful gaze

of a statue of Antonin Dvorak, who was a very famous

romantic classical composer.

We play the American quartet, actually,

in our concert repertoire.

Every time we play that now, I think

we'll have a little memory of Prague and getting U-Turned.

If we have to go out, I'd rather it

be because of a U-Turn instead of something

that we did terribly wrong.

We gave it our best efforts despite what was thrown at us.

And I'm just so glad that we had this opportunity

to do this together.

Like, how often do you get to run around the world

with your friend and--

I hate this man.

I hate him so much, and I'm going to continue

to hate him for so long.
