- [Phil] Previously on "The Amazing Race".
[elephant trumpeting] [envelope tearing]
Five teams set out from the Khwai River Lodge in Botswana,
and raced more than , miles to Lucknow India.
Rob and Amber teamed up with Ron and Kelly.
- We need to have four tickets.
Can we do it now though,
before the other teams come back?
- I understand, no problem.
- Thank you.
- [Phil] While the other three teams.
- [Lynn] What's Rob doing in there behind the computer?
- [Phil] Formed an alliance of their own.
- Why are you doing this for us?
- Because we want you guys in the finals with us,
and that's really the bottom line.
- [Phil] Once in Lucknow, tensions escalated
between Ron and Kelly.
- Ron come and stay with me.
Honey. - Let's get on
the cycle rickshaw and get moving.
[car horn honking] - I disagree with that, Ron,
but I'll go and do it,
but I'll make it known, I disagree with it.
- Who's Asharfi?
- [Phil] And Rob got feisty with the locals.
- Are you Asharfi or are you?
Don't try to pull a fast one like that again.
- I don't know what to do.
- [Phil] Gretchen grappled with a tough Roadblock.
- Come on, Gretchen.
- Just exasperated.
I could be in here for a week.
- [Phil] Then the retired couple
were mobbed by adoring locals. [crows cheering]
- [Meredith] Blow some kisses.
- [Local] Please give me your autograph, please, sir.
Thank you, so much, sir.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Front runners, Rob and Amber,
checked into what they thought was a pit stop.
You guys probably think this is the end of the leg.
- What?
- [Phil] But instead they received a twist.
This leg is not over.
Five teams remain, who will be eliminated next?
[upbeat music]
♪ Oh
♪ Oh
[upbeat music continues]
[upbeat music continues]
[dramatic music]
[Rob and Amber laughing]
- Rob and Amber, welcome to Lucknow,
you guys probably think this is the end of the leg.
I don't wanna hold you up,
I have your other clue.
- Aw. - You're still racing.
- Aw, Phil. - Here's your new clue.
- Thank you, come on. [envelope tearing]
"Road info, make your way
to the train station across the street."
- [Phil] Teams must now make their way across the street
to the Lucknow train station
and find Platform ,
where they'll have to board a train
and wait to receive their next clue.
[dramatic music]
- Across the street, we have to go to the train station.
At the end of Platform .
- How much farther?
Ron and I received the clue,
and it tells us to find the flats
and that Phil's gonna be there,
so we're thinking, "Pit stop, pit stop."
- Come on, come on, we gotta go.
This is unreal. [Kelly grunting]
[Ron exhaling] - Ron and Kelly,
this leg is not over yet.
- Whoa. [laughing]
- I have your next clue.
You guys are still racing.
[envelope tearing]
- Come on, baby.
- [Kelly] "Make your way to the train station
at the end of Platform ."
- Whoo. - Oh.
- Uchenna and Joyce,
I'm sorry to tell you that this leg is not over yet
and I have your next clue.
[Joyce screaming] - Whoa.
- What a trick. [envelope tearing]
Come on, it's right there. - Okay, we crossing the street
to the train station. - This is not.
And Phil said, "This isn't it,
you gotta keep going, here's another clue."
We were like, "What?"
- [Uchenna] The railway car
at the end of the Platform . - Look for the mark.
[Lynn exhaling] - Lynn and Alex.
- Yes?
- This leg of the race is not over yet.
- Oh no. - I have your next clue.
- Oh no. - Oh God, hurry, hurry,
hurry, hurry. [envelope tearing]
- Okay, okay.
- [Lynn] Alex and I are freaking out
that this leg is not over,
because it's been going on for days and days.
This just sucks.
[dramatic music]
- Pour it up. - Let's get the last one.
Great, Gretchen, we only need one.
- [Gretchen] Aw, hallelujah.
- All right, we give him two cups of tea.
- Thank y'all.
- Take it back this way, watch yourself.
That's right. - This is for you, sir.
- Thank you very much. - Yeah.
[envelope tearing]
- "Make your way to Phil and the mat."
Let's try to get a taxi.
- Yeah.
- Come on, sweetie.
- [Lynn] Let's just go in this way.
- [Alex] Okay.
[upbeat music]
- Call for a. - Sharbov Flat.
- Taxi. - He says come with them.
- [Gretchen] The people of India
have been so inspirational,
and these people, no matter what they have,
have been willing to help us.
- I think these are gay guys up in front of us.
- Oh yeah.
Hey, he was pretty cute, the one that was helping us.
[dramatic music]
- [Rob] Gotta be here.
- Upstairs?
Number , left.
- Take the stairs over? - Yes,
yes, yes, yes. - Okay.
- Platform ?
- Yeah, that is back there.
- There we go.
We've been bringing up the rear ever since we got here.
We're praying that we're still in the race.
[dramatic music]
Let's go to the roof.
[suspenseful music] [Meredith sighing]
- Meredith and Gretchen, your race is not over yet,
this is your next clue.
- That's great. - Are you a little shocked?
- Oh my God.
- "Make your way across to the train station."
[Gretchen laughing] "And board marked car,
the end of Platform ."
- All right, give it everything you got.
- All right, come on, keep going.
And when we got to the mat and were given a clue
rather than an announcement that we had been eliminated,
we were so joyful [laughing] that we could continue on.
[suspenseful music]
- "Boarding at :," what time is it now?
- [Amber] It's like one.
- [Rob] Train's not boarding until nine o'clock at night,
so pretty much guaranteed
every team's gonna be tied up again.
[dramatic music]
- [Ron] What's the deal?
- You'll figure it out.
- [Ron] The train board's at nine o'clock.
- : p.m.?
- "Boarding at : hours." - A, A.
- We just gotta wait.
- "Notice, Platform ."
Okay, well, where are we going?
- We don't know.
- Look, sweetheart, boards at :,
we got all the time in the world.
[upbeat music]
Okay, everybody's right there, hun.
- I love Joyce's headscarf.
Work that [laughing] scarf. [laughing]
- [Lynn] Alex and I have a loose alliance
with Joyce and Uchenna,
and Gretchen and Meredith.
- [Joyce] Ron and Kelly, Rob and Amber
are sticking together.
I'm sure it's a short alliance,
'cause, believe me, Rob will do whatever he can
to get to that mat first.
[train horn blowing]
[upbeat music]
We're ready for this train,
and we still have no clue as to where we're going,
how long it's gonna be.
- [Alex] Mystery train.
- It said wait patiently for our next clue.
[train horn blowing]
[suspenseful music]
- [Messenger] Evening, sir.
[Meredith grunting]
- [Meredith] Time to go?
- Thank you.
[dramatic music] [envelopes tearing]
- Road info.
- "Search for your next clue at."
- "Jodhpur train station."
- Well. - Jodhpur.
- [Passenger] Approximately, we will be there
around or .
- [Alex] Oh.
The clue said, "Search for your next clue
at the Jodhpur train station."
We're actually going to be on that train for hours.
[train horn blowing] [upbeat music]
- I'm tired.
This whole race has been extremely difficult for me
not having all my basic little comforts that I like,
eye cream, skin cream, any cream.
I mean, at this point,
I would drink my skincare if I had it with me.
[Alex laughing] Toner sounds pretty delicious
right now, but I think it's interesting
to see how long I can do it without them.
[suspenseful music]
- This is what I deal with. [Joyce laughing]
This is what I deal with.
- [Joyce] You look like chic.
- Rob won't see a scary movie
with me, he refuses. [Ron laughing]
- Oh, I love 'em.
This was the first time we were able to sit down
with Rob and Amber and actually talk to 'em
and have fun.
Rob's really humorous,
and Amber's just very sweet.
- [Rob] This train ride really gave us a chance
to see what kinda people Ron and Kelly were,
and we actually started a real friendship.
- [Amber] We do have a lot of respect for them,
and I think we have fun racing against each other.
- But in the end, we wanna win,
that's why we're here, that's why we're trying so hard.
[locals faintly speaking in foreign language]
[upbeat music]
[train horn blowing]
- Get your eyes open.
- [Meredith] Just stay with me.
- Come on, babe.
- [Uchenna] "In the train station," it says.
- [Alex] Okay, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
- Here, babe.
[envelope tearing]
- "Make your way to Sudar market."
- [Phil] Teams must now make their way one mile
to the Sardar Market and find this clock tower.
Once there, they must go to the first-floor balcony,
where they'll find their next clue.
- Do you know where this place is?
- Sardar Market.
- [Rob] Can you tell the taxi driver?
- Oh.
[envelope tearing] - Sardar Market.
- We need a. - This way, taxi.
[dramatic music]
- Sardar Market.
- Sardar Market.
- "Go to the clock tower to find your next clue."
- Oh. - He wants us to wait.
- Think this is taking to much time?
- Okay, we gotta get through here.
- Exit.
Come on. - Okay, take the one
on the left. - Taxi.
- [Driver] Sardar Market.
- Sardar Market. - Sardar.
- [Alex] Go, we gotta go super fast.
[dramatic music]
- [Rob] Is it faster to go in one of these?
Amber, come on.
- [Driver] We'll go to Sardar Market.
- [Rob] Hey, buddy, go fast as you can.
- Where's the clock, right here?
- [Ron] Yeah, yeah.
- It's gotta be marked.
It's closed.
it's not open until : a.m. - ": a.m. to : p.m.
- Ah, right here. - Right here, okay.
- Let's go.
- Pay the man, Alex.
- I'm paid him.
- Come on, babe, come on, come on, come on.
- Oh no. - Oh.
- There's the hotel and restaurant right there.
- Hotel and restaurant right there.
- Yeah, let's go. - Y'all wanna go?
[suspenseful music]
- [Rob] All the other teams found a hotel for the night,
so Amber and I, and Ron and Kelly
ended up at this magnificent hotel.
I like it.
- We're sold.
We could maybe share
and use the air conditioning. - No, let's just get
our own room.
- Whoa.
- And what's your name? - Thank you.
- Sanjay. - Sanjay.
Do you know the city very well?
- Yeah, very well, absolutely. [fingers snapping]
- How much would it cost
for you to take me around and show me?
- Free of charge.
- Free of charge.
I need a guide tomorrow. - I'm the guide for you.
- To help me all day.
Okay, at nine in the morning,
can you come with me for the day?
- Definitely. [fingers snapping]
[Amber laughing] - All right, are you sure?
- Sure, promise. - All right,
thanks, buddy.
- Yeah. - Sounds good.
All right.
[fireworks cracking]
- [clapping] Oh, this is wonderful.
- Hey, that's cool. [laughing]
[firework banging] - Whoo,
whoo. - Whoo.
[upbeat music]
- [Lynn] Alex and I came across this huge wedding,
and the next thing we know,
we're getting pulled into the middle,
dancing with these men,
and it was absolutely amazing.
- [Gretchen] Look at them.
- [Meredith] Look at 'em dance.
- [Gretchen] Look at them.
[Meredith and Gretchen laughing]
- Whoo. - Whoo.
[suspenseful music]
- This is incredible.
- Wow, this looks cool.
- [Lynn] Good karma, come our way.
- Just wanna make sure that
Ron and Kelly don't steal Sanjay.
We don't want them to win.
When it comes down to it,
if we have to leave something first or whatever,
you're with us.
- I know. - Okay.
- [Ron] Rob actually coerced Sanjay,
who's the manager of the hotel,
into following us on the rest of the leg.
[upbeat music]
[bell ringing]
- Come on, hun.
- [Meredith] I'm with ya.
[bell ringing]
- [Lynn] Dusty, dusty.
Ooh, it's like Cinderella's castle.
- Here, Fast Forward.
- Let's do a Fast Forward, let's do it,
let's do a Fast Forward. - Okay.
[upbeat music]
- This is the second of only two Fast Forwards
hidden on the entire race.
The first team that finds it and completes it
can skip all tasks and go directly to the pit stop.
In this Fast Forward,
teams must make their way / miles to this temple
and engage in a traditional Hindu good fortune ritual,
having their head shaved. [razor buzzing]
Something that is done by Hindu men and women
at least one time during their life.
Teams will not know the ritual is a head shaving
until they arrive.
Once both team members are completely bald,
they may claim the Fast Forward.
- Let's go. - Scratch it off.
let's go, Fast Forward. - We're going after
the Fast Forward.
- Detour.
- A Detour is a choice between two tasks,
each with its own pros and cons.
In this Detour, teams have to choose between Trunk and Dunk.
In Trunk, teams make their way to Jodhpur's Old City
and choose one of these teak elephants,
weighing pounds.
Then they must transport the elephant / a mile
to this temple.
This priest will hand them their next clue.
It's a physically demanding task,
but if teams enlist the help from locals,
they could finish fast.
[upbeat music]
In Dunk, teams make their way
to this neighborhood in Jodhpur,
famous for handmade tie-dyed fabrics.
Once there, teams will dye these white sheets.
After the colored dye is applied,
the clue can be clearly read
when the sheets are untied.
The sheets are light,
so the task won't be physically demanding,
but the clue only appears on one sheet,
so getting through a basket of
could take a long time.
[upbeat music]
- Better do the elephant. - All right, yes.
We didn't take the Fast Forward
because we knew we would be out of it
if we didn't make it to the Fast Forward first.
[envelope tearing] - What do you wanna do?
- Fast Forward. - Fast Forward.
We're gonna go with Fast Forward,
Fast Forward. - Okay.
- I say let's take the Detour. - Okay, we're not taking
the Fast Forward.
Kelly and I felt like if we went after that
and we didn't get the Fast Forward,
that we would be eliminated from the race.
[envelope tearing] - It's a Fast Forward.
- Last time we went for the Fast Forward
and we ended up there second,
we weren't gonna let that happen again.
- Trunk or Dunk?
- [Rob] Do you wanna do the elephants?
- Or the dying?
- The dying might take a while.
[upbeat music]
- Where are the elephants?
Panna Nivas.
- Panna Nivas.
- Here. - Yeah, this way, this way,
here, come.
- Let's go, let's just keep walking outta here.
Hold on, hold on,
they're still right there.
- Alex, let's just walk up here and get a taxi.
- Sanjay, just walk with us, walk with us.
- Hey, you know Panna Nivas?
- Not yet, not yet.
- Why? - Let's get outside.
- We're going to Kaylana Lake.
- About / miles away.
- [Uchenna] You know this place?
- Yeah.
- Taxi.
- Let's go.
- There's Uchenna and Joyce.
- [Alex] They're probably going for the Fast Forward.
- Yeah. - We gotta go,
we just gotta go. - Hurry, hurry,
we gotta move fast.
- [Uchenna] Let's go, let's go.
- Kaylana Lake, do you know where it is?
- Sure.
- [Alex] Yes, yes, yes. [speaking in foreign language]
- Hurry, hurry.
- Okay, let's hurry now,
we can't just be strolling around.
- This road here.
- Come on, come on.
- Do we need a taxi? - Taxi?
- Taxi or walk? Run. - Run.
[dramatic music]
- Where is it?
Down here, you sure? [dog barking]
Right here?
Come on, Meredith,
come on. - I'm with you,
just keep going.
[dramatic music]
[upbeat music]
Hey, let me get it over the hump first.
- Come on. - Get in front of it, Kelly.
- Do we get on? - Amber,
come on, honey.
- [Meredith] Gretchen, this one.
- [Gretchen] Oh, right here.
- Which way is it going?
- Hey, Sanjay, do you know where it is?
- Yeah. - So how do we go?
Will you show us?
- [Guide] Up, up.
- Me, up in the?
- Yes. - Okay, here.
- Ready?
- Honey, do you have to ride in it?
- No. - Why is Gretchen in it?
- [Amber] It doesn't say we have to ride in it.
- [Kelly] Come on, babe.
- [Ron] Push.
- [Amber] How do you steer it?
[dramatic music]
- Now, you know Joyce and Uchenna
are gonna go for that Fast Forward.
They only have to arrive there one minute before us
to totally screw us up.
Don't you think so, honey?
- [Alex] Yes, yes.
- Driver. - Yeah?
- [Lynn] We wanna change.
We're gonna do the elephants.
- [Alex] Go to Panna Nivas.
- Hurry, hurry, hurry.
- We're on our way.
Took a Fast Forward.
- This is a real gamble right here.
[upbeat music]
- Where do we go?
- Help, help.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Help us, please, help.
- How do we turn? - Sanjay, Sanjay.
- Come on, push, push, push, push.
- Push, push, fast.
- Come on.
Come on, get out the way.
- Have you got a steering wheel in this thing?
- No.
Good, push, push, push.

[upbeat music]
- [Lynn] Amber and Rob are here.
- [Rob] Come on, help, help.
- [Ron] Push, push.
- Back it up.
- Thank you.
- Sanjay, tell these people to help us.
This way. [grunting]
- [Ron] Push, push.

- Get out the way.
- Let's go, boys, push.
- Push. [Lynn laughing]
- Oh, Gretchen, you look fabulous. [laughing]
Ready? Can you guys help us?
Help us.
Oh my God, this is hilarious.
I wanna ride on top, Alex.
- No, you don't have to.
- I think I can get out,
I thought we had to get in.
Meredith, oh.
- Keep going, come on,
we can get this thing. - Meredith,
push. - Push.
[dramatic music]
- Get out the way, get out the way.
- Hold it, hold it.
- Oh, oh. - Come on.

- [Gretchen] Oh, Meredith.
- Woohoo. - Push, push, push.
We have a bad elephant.
We have a bad elephant.
- [Meredith] How far are we going, how far?
- Oh, way up there.
- It's there. - Unbelievable.
- This is a bad elephant.
Help us push.
Okay. - Okay.
- Push, you push. - Help us, push.
Good, honey, keep going.
[upbeat music] - Help.
- Stop, which way, Kelly? - Straight.
- That way? - Come on.
Come on, help, help, help, come on.
Watch the wheel, watch the wheel.
Come on now, let's go.
- I'm holding the elephant's tail. [laughing]
- No coffee break here.
- Whoo.
- Whoo. - Big elephants go this way?
Thank you.
- I'm really exhausted.
Huh? - We need some big people.
- Push, boys, push. - Go, go.
- [Meredith] Gretchen, where are we going?
- We're going to the temple.
[upbeat music]
- We gotta get to the Fast Forward.
And you know Kaylana Lake?
- Yes. - Okay.
We have to get there very fast,
very fast, okay? - Very fast, I pay more.
[dramatic music]
- [Kelly] Keep going.
- [Rob] Come on, push, push.
- Come on. - Come on,
come on, you wanna push?
Push, get up here, let's go.
Come on, come on.
Full steam ahead. - Come on, come on.
You see them?
It's tough organizing Indian labor.
[upbeat music]
- [Alex] [speaking in foreign language] All right, come on.
- Push, how far is this place?
- Push, boys, push.
- Push, push, come on.
- "Engage in a traditional Indian good fortune ritual."
Oh, I hope it's not a head shaving.
That freaks me out.
- I don't think it's a shaving-your-head thing.
[upbeat music]
- Thank you. - Okay, turn left,
Elephant park.
Okay, now stop, stop, stop.
- Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
[Kelly exhaling] - Hurry, hurry, hurry.
- How are you feeling today?
- [Kelly] Thank you.
- [Ron] Come on, Kelly.
- Whoa, straighten it up, straighten it up.
[envelope tearing] - "Go to Deora Krishi Farm."
- [Phil] Teams must now travel by auto rickshaw
approximately eight miles towards Deora Krishi Farm,
a site used for a local festival.
Once there, teams must look for their next clue.
[dramatic music]
- Sanjay.
- Where's the clue?
- Go, go up there, it's there.
- Amber, come on.

Are they all behind us?
- [Ron] Yeah, looks like it.

Run that elephant over.
Oh, please, please, please.
Hey, hey. - Hey, hey.

"Deora Krishi Farm."
- Come on. - Oh, thank you.
I should have never gotten up in that elephant,
I don't think.

- [Gretchen] I could've helped push.
[upbeat music]
[elephant trumpeting]
[dramatic music]
- Come on, come on, come on. - Okay, jump out, jump out.
- All right, we're hopping out.

- [Kelly] Straight ahead.
- Pull it, all right. - Okay.
- It's gonna be a Roadblock. - Roadblock.
- "Who's ready to steer their team
in the right direction?"
- A Roadblock is a task that only one person may perform.
In this roadblock,
one team member has to choose a camel cart
and race two times around this marked course.
When they cross the finish line,
the camel master will give them their next clue.
- [Amber] It's definitely gonna be riding a camel.
Do you want me to do it?
- Okay, okay. - I'll do it.
- I'll do it. - Go, baby, go.
[upbeat music]
- Sit here.
- Come on, Amber.
- Come on, baby.
- This ought to be interesting.

Why's he going backwards?
- Baby. - Damn. [laughing]
- Yeah?
- Let's go.
- Go, go, go.
- Yah.
[upbeat music]
- They're right behind us.
- [Lynn] Meredith and Gretchen are right behind us?
- Uh-oh. - We're catching
that other cab.
Whoo.
Good, driver, good, driver.
[upbeat music]
- Fast, fast, fast.
Woohoo.
- Aw, dude, she's hauling butt on a camel.
Amber's probably way back there.
[camel groaning]
- Ooh, I don't see my girl, this is not good.
- Okay, go, go, go, go, go.
- Here it is, there she is, there she is.
- Good, camel, good, camel.
- [screaming] [laughing] Oh my God.
- Stopped running. - Go, go, go,
go. - To the left.
- Go, go.
- Aw, it's enough to make you sick.
- Go. [grunting]
Faster, faster, faster, faster.
[Ron groaning]
- This is it, this is it.
[dramatic music]
What, ?
No, no, no,
that's too expensive. - Come on.
- [Meredith] Come on, hun.
- Aw, man, everybody's here now.
- Come on, Meredith.

I love you, baby. [Joyce crying]
This is rough, this is very rough.
Watching Joyce have her hair cut off,
my heart was breaking,
because I never wanted her to make a sacrifice.

- Yeah, you got a big [laughing] forehead like me now.
You are beautiful.
[Joyce crying]
It seemed like there was this blossoming
happening with Joyce.
The more the hair came off,
that she just got brave,
and I was overwhelmed with pride.
I love you, baby.
It's good luck.
That's what we need is good luck.
- Yeah.
Express gratitude for good fortune.
Thank you for the good fortune.
[Joyce crying]
It's gone now, nothing I can do, aw.

you've won the Fast Forward,
make your way to the next pit stop,

- Having won the Fast Forward,
Uchenna and Joyce can now skip all tasks
and go directly to the pit stop,
Jaswant Thada, a royal tomb in the city of Jodhpur.
The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
- Okay, let's go.
- Okay, let's go. - Thank you.
[Joyce whimpering]
[Joyce laughing] - You look absolutely
beautiful.
- There's been a lot of black women
that have shaved their heads
and they still look beautiful.
How do I look? [gasping]
My God, look at my head.
My inner beauty will have to come out
[laughing] and shine.
Oh my God.
[Uchenna laughing] Okay, let's go.

You were good, babe. - Dag blame it.
Crap like this happens to us all the time.
End up in a taxi that has to go to the gas station.

to this one, baby. - I know.
That feels great. - You wanna show 'em?

your teams number two and three.
- Whoo. [clapping] - Congratulations.
[everybody clapping] - Thank you.
- The competition is really starting
to sort itself out here.
You're fighting like crazy
coming in here even. [everybody laughing]
yards out.
- It's just the competitive nature of all of us,
so we're willing to put our hands out
and shake hands when we're not racing,
but when we're racing,
whoever's on top is competition
and we're all very, very, very competitive.
[dramatic music]
- We just wanna get to this pit stop as soon as possible.
- Yeah. - It's been the longest leg,
I'm exhausted.
- I'm worried about being last.
Gretchen and I wanna continue on.
All I can think of right now
is getting to that mat before one other team.
Cheer up, Gretchen.
[Lynn grunting]
[Lynn speaking in foreign language]
- We are still b*ating Meredith and Gretchen, I think.
Yes, fast, fast.
- [Meredith] That's where it is.
[rickshaw engine whirring]
[upbeat music]
- Meredith and Gretchen,
you're team number four.
[upbeat music]
- Oh my God.
- [Phil] You're still in "The Amazing Race".
- Oh.
- You are the team that will never quit.
- And we just were running behind everybody's dust again.
- Well, we weren't,
we weren't running behind one team's dust. [laughing]
- Now, I have something very special to tell you.
- Oh. - Yes?
- You are officially the oldest team
to ever have made it this far in "The Amazing Race".
- Aw. - And that,
you should be very proud of.
- We are.
Oh, baby.
[forlorn music]
- Phil, we've seen two palaces,
that one way the hell over there,
and this one.
- Welcome to Jodhpur, India.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you. - Beautiful city.
- Beautiful. - Beautiful.
- Lynn and Alex.
[Alex sighing]
You're the last team to arrive.
I'm sorry to tell you
you've both been eliminated from the race.
- Okay.
- You know what? We had a terrific time and.
- Yes, and we did so good,
Lynn and I were doing so good.
- We loved it.
The people we've met, the places we've seen,
the things we've done,
it's just been absolutely amazing.
I can't imagine anything
that would compare to the joy that we have received
from the people on this race.
- Mm-hmm. - And the people that
we've met throughout this world.
It is the most amazing experience
that we have ever had.
- I couldn't imagine doing this with anybody else.
I love you, babe.
[lips smacking]
Lynn reminds me every day how much we accomplish together,
how much we have, and how much we have to look forward to.
- [Phil] Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
On the next episode of "The Amazing Race",
Rob sizes up his competition.
Uchenna and Joyce don't know who to turn to.
[laughing] I mean, they're asking Meredith and Gretchen
for advice now.
It's like the blind to leading the blind.
- [Phil] And Kelly confronts Ron.
- How? - Your patterns in life
show that you don't make commitments. [laughing]
I don't think it's just that. - You're right, I was only
committed to the m*llitary.
- And you got out of that one.
- How did I get outta that one?
- By being a POW.
