34x07 - It's Simply Medieval

[bunniefuu]

PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on

The Amazing Race

Eight teams continued racing

through the Kingdom of Jordan.

The leg began

with a shocking elimination.

We have received

a positive COVID test from you.

You are officially eliminated.

It's definitely heartbreaking.

KEOGHAN: And the stakes remain

high for the rest of the teams.

In the leg after this one,

the last team will

be leaving all on their own,

45 minutes

behind the first team.

At the Detour,

Derek was at a loss for words.

[enunciating]

KEOGHAN: While Glenda

and Lumumba were out of step.

Oh. We missed the beat.

Let's do it again.

KEOGHAN:

Luis and Michelle fell apart

LUIS:

The cart came-came apart.

KEOGHAN: but recovered

for their second win in a row.

-Back-to-back, baby. Back-to-back.

-Back-to-back

KEOGHAN: Meanwhile, Glenda

struggled at the Roadblock,

and now the newlyweds

will face the consequences.

You have arrived last.

GLENDA:

I don't expect to go home

the next leg. We're still here.

♪

KEOGHAN: All teams

are now flying 1,600 miles

from the Kingdom of Jordan

to the South of France.

This is the Dordogne

region of France.

Known as the land of

1,001 castles for good reason.

There are 1,001 castles.

Here at Château de Beynac,

teams will leave in four groups

as they start

the next leg of the race.

[blowing]

Let's go, guys.

We got the lead.

We're leaving

in the first group.

Let's go for

the back-to-back-to-back win.

-Whoa.

-Whoa! This is so cool.

DAVID:

You got it, babe?

-LUIS: Look at that.

-Come on.

DAVID: Here we go.

"Welcome to France.

Drive yourself to

Château de Commarque to find"

"to find your next clue."

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

-Okay.

-LUIS: Let me have the map.

-MICHELLE: All right, here.

All right, we're gonna mark it

on the map first.

-We're gonna see where we're at.

-DAVID: Ready?

-AUBREY: Let's go.

DAVID:

There was a side street there.

AUBREY: I need you to

slow down at those signs.

-DAVID: Are you oriented on the map?

-No.

-Do you have any sense of direction?

-No.

Okay, let's be more effective

with communication.

-If you need me to stop, let me know.

-Okay.

-Then I need you to stop.

-Okay.

AUBREY: We've been together

for the last two and a half

years, but being on the race,

I think we're learning,

just, so much about each other.

-So we're in Beynac, right?

-Yes.

So go ahead and

show me where that is, David.

And how similar

we think, and how

very different we think.

-Let's-let's just start driving.

-So we're heading north.

-We need to go this way.

-That's south.

Baby, so look along the river,

'cause we saw water.

This is gonna be

an interesting day. [laughs]

-That's what I'm trying to find.

-LUIS: Hey, any luck, guys?

-No, man. We're still trying to find it on the map.

-No luck.

-All right, um

-MICHELLE: Do you guys want to try and work together?

LUIS: I think, guys, we should

start heading this way, for sure.

DAVID: Yeah, let's just

And then we'll follow the road.

[horn blowing]

-DEREK: Whew.

-CLAIRE: Yeah.

DEREK: We're leaving

in the second group today

with Quinton and Mattie.

This is awesome.

15 minutes behind the first one,

but a great 30 minutes

in front of the last team.

-Hello, sir.

-Hello.

"Welcome to France.

Drive yourselves

to Château de Commarque"

"to find your next clue."

-Let's go.

-All right.

Hurry.

QUINTON:

Is it this one?

Our goal today is if we cannot

maintain third, get higher.

MATTIE: We're self-driving,

so we also want to stay

-on top of our navigation.

-QUINTON: Stay cool,

calm, stay cute

and stay collected.

[both chuckle]

There's a lot of châteaus here.

CLAIRE:

Here it is. Okay.

We both lost

Big Brother,and we are

hungry for a win.

We really want

to get that million dollars,

figure out

the rest of our lives together.

Derek's a little

unemployed at the moment.

-Um [chuckles]

-I'm fun-employed.

The F is silent.

CLAIRE:

Let's go.

So money would be great.

There's no point in rushing

at this point.

We're all in the same boat.

When you rush and freak out,

that's when

all the big mistakes happen.

And no mistakes today.

-That's excellent.

-Okay. Let's go.

♪

We're trying

to go to Château de Commarque.

AUBREY: Can you show

us where we are on the map?

You're gonna go up there.

Oh, so we got to go up straight?

Yeah, you got

to go away from the river.

CLAIRE:

Oh, it's Luis and Michelle.

DEREK:

Yo, guys, guys.

-We know it, if you want to follow us.

-AUBREY: Okay, let's go.

Let's go. Get to Derek.

David, follow Derek.

Derek. Derek.

DEREK:

What?

-Babe, do you have the key?

-DAVID: Follow us. Follow us. -AUBREY: Follow us.

Follow them? I don't think so.

I don't want to, like, be like,

"Oh, follow us, follow us."

No, this way, if we get lost,

we bring them with us.

I don't know.

-It's win-win in my mind.

-[sighs] Okay.

We got good GPS, uh

info from the gentleman.

I think if we just go north

we're gonna be all right.

Okay.

LUIS:

North we go.

I want to be the first car

to get to the next place.

It's the best feeling

in the world.

Yeah!

-[whoops] First place!

-Yeah! [laughs]

This guy, there's one over here.

MARCUS:

Is there an index on that map?

-EMILY: Wait, here we go. Right here.

-MOLLY: Found it.

-All right.

-MICHAEL: Oh, here we go.

MARCUS:

So right now, we're leaving

in the third group with

-Molly and Emily.

-Molly and Emily.

Our goal

is to obviously close the gap

to those teams in front of us.

We're not here just to win.

We're here also to have fun.

EMILY: We're learning

a lot about one another.

In fifth grade, I got in trouble

for kissing my boyfriend

on the playground.

I also got in trouble

in fifth grade

for kissing my boyfriend.

We were also both

in band in middle school.

We both played wind instruments,

-and

-We were both second chair.

We both like to eat

hard boiled eggs in the morning.

Two of them.

We eat one yolk,

and we each feed our dog

-the second yolk.

-Yes.

-So weird.

-[laughing]

Like, I think we headed down

and we should have headed up,

like, away from the river.

DEREK:

Oh. Okay, okay.

Yeah, we're definitely

going the opposite direction.

Can you

just get up to Derek?

-DAVID: They're pulling over.

-AUBREY: They're going back.

-We needed to go not towards the river.

-AUBREY: Back up.

-We need to go back up.

-My bad, my bad.

-DAVID: It's all good, Derek.

-Okay.

A little detour.

[horn blowing]

Whew.

GLENDA: Leaving in last place.

-How you feel, baby?

-I'm feeling great.

-I'm feeling great, too.

-I'm feeling great.

LUMUMBA:

We're ready for this, because

it's never been about

a place to begin with.

-Yeah.

-It's always been about our strengths.

-Yeah. Yeah.

-It's always been about us running our race.

Let's go to the first vehicle,

toss our stuff in the back

and get it going.

GLENDA: I'm just grateful that

I get to share this experience

-with my husband, the love of my life, my best friend.

-Yeah.

-And we're grateful.

-Plus, we're made. We're great.

-And we're grateful, and

-We're just great.

-[laughing] -Yeah, exactly.

I mean, like, literally.

Château. Oh, parking.

Arrow. Right arrow, baby.

This way.

We're all about winning first.

The million-dollar prize.

I would love

to do something special

for my mom and dad

and for her mom.

They sacrificed so much for us.

My parents

met in a shoe factory.

My dad worked in the farms,

making very little money.

MICHELLE: And we would

love to give back to them.

[laughs]

I think we're first.

-Let's go.

-LUIS: Look at this place.

-Oh, my God.

-It's like a fairy tale.

Oh, my God.

This Oh, how cool.

Oh, clue box.

-This is beautiful.

-Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Wow.

"Roadblock. Who Wants

to Climb the Family Tree?"

That's me.

KEOGHAN:

Teams will perform the Roadblock

at Château de Commarque,

steeped

in centuries-old history.

This enormous family tree

shows 22 generations

of the Comarque men

and the unique

family crest of their wives.

Teams need to study

this elaborate lineage

and then take a memory test.

But they'll

be doing it the hard way.

After rappelling 131 feet

and relying only

on their powers of observation,

they need

to match these five names

with their corresponding

family crests.

Let's hope teams

are not scared of heights,

because this Roadblock will

have a lot of ups and downs.

-It's a memory challenge, so you got this.

-Okay.

Slow down. Focus. You got this.

MICHELLE:

Wow.

We're first place so far.

LUIS:

Yeehaw!

MICHELLE:

[panting] Oh, my God.

LUIS:

Yes. Let's go.

-Wait in the designated area.

-Okay.

-This way.

-Hi.

MICHELLE: Sweet.

Hello. Oh, I made it.

All I've been waiting for

is something crazy like this,

and I finally got it.

Oh, my God. This feels amazing.

[chuckles]

This way. Let's go.

♪

Oh, this is not gonna be fun.

[chuckles]

Oh, I thought this

was gonna be a lot easier.

Oh, my God.

QUINTON:

Oh, wow. "Roadblock."

-Mattie's doing it.

-I'll climb the family tree.

MICHELLE:

The family tree,

there was probably,

like, a hundred names.

I started to learn the top.

All right.

And then I was like,

"What am I doing?

I'm the first one here."

I'm gonna rappel down,

see what type of questions

they ask,

and then go back up

and do it again.

Hey, baby.

What's up, baby?

Let's go, baby!

MICHELLE:

You got to be kidding me.

[whoops]

Let's go, baby!

-That's dope. See her?

-MATTIE: Go, Michelle!

I feel like a queen!

Rappelling down a castle.

There's, like, a hundred names.

[chuckles]

I know nothing.

Take your time.

Okay. [whoops]

Bonjour.

Merci.

Okay.

[panting]

Hi. Oh, there's names.

I noticed that there

was five different flags

and five different names.

I'm gonna look at the flags

and look at the names here.

Um, I'm gonna try

and associate all of them.

I started to learn the flags

and names individually,

because I had no idea which

one went with the other one.

"Jeanne d'Aumar la Brousse."

So Jeanne loves

her brows.

[chuckles]

Jeanne also loves ChapStick.

"Chapelle."

EMILY:

My leg is not in good shape.

I tore some

muscle fibers in my quad

a few legs back.

I've got something

going on with my thigh.

-Oh, no.

-This is not good.

I've been able

to heal up at the Pit Stops,

but it was not

100% this morning.

MARCUS:

Where'd the girls go?

They're behind us.

On the last leg, we finished

five out of seven.

All right,

we got two vehicles here.

We need to change

something around today

and move from

the back of the pack

to the front of the pack.

MARCUS:

Come on, Mike.

EMILY:

Wait up for the gimp! [laughs]

My leg is feeling pretty crummy,

but not

gonna let that stop me.

MARCUS and MICHAEL:

"Climb the Family Tree."

I'll do it.

I guess I'll do it.

MOLLY:

I am four Roadblocks in

and Emily's at two.

We lucked out that this

is actually rappelling

and not climbing.

-There's climbing. I'll do it.

-Okay.

I'll climb the family tree.

Okay.

"Francoise de la Fayette."

I won't fail France.

I will not fail you.

Okay.

As a professional dancer,

I can learn

a lot of stuff at the moment.

Okay, I'm ready. [exhales]

LUMUMBA: Oh, my goodness.

These roads are really tight.

[Glenda laughs]

I don't want to go into a ditch.

Hi.

[gasps] Oh, my God.

Hey. Okay.

Right on my tail was Mattie.

I think the best way

is to go down fast,

-come up and do it.

-Do it again?

MICHELLE: We've worked

with Mattie and Quinton before,

so I didn't mind helping.

Plus, I knew that I had this

challenge, and I was confident.

Let's see.

MATTIE:

My strategy was rappel down once

and figure out

what you're being tested on.

Got it. Okay.

-She's up here.

-Yup.

Oh. Bruh.

Come on, girl.

-[whoops]

-QUINTON: Let's go, Blue!

MICHAEL:

All right.

I know I'm gonna

have to do it again.

So, right now,

I'm just trying to take in this,

take in as many names

as possible

and be able to find out

where they go.

So we got the

[exhales sharply]

Then we got the tree.

Then we got four, we got three,

we got that. Okay.

Okay.

Merci! [chuckles]

You got this, amor.

This is all I wanted! [chuckles]

This is so cool!

Ah! Merci! [chuckles]

Family Oh, wow.

Really?

There's no way.

-There's a lot of crests.

-Hello.

-Holy moly.

-Yeah. It's a lot of crests.

I think I have

to see what it is first.

Holy

This just comes down

to, like, memory,

which I'm not that good at.

One of us

is gonna go home today,

and it's not a great feeling.

Let's see what it is.

All right.

MARCUS: You could

go faster if you want to.

I don't see any names.

I have my brows done.

I feel at peace. Like in a tree.

Chapelle, ChapStick.

"Detour. Walnut cr*cker

or Medieval Gamer?"

The Dordogne Valley is

France's capital of the walnut.

What you might not know

is that walnut oil

is used for varnishing

and lighting lamps like this.

Teams need to crack,

grind and press

enough of

this versatile walnut oil

to fill this container

up to the black line.

When they do,

they'll get a clue.

Life in medieval times

wasn't easy,

so numerous games

were invented to pass the time

and were also used

by knights in training.

When soldiers

weren't out on the b*ttlefield

fighting for their lives,

it was in their best interest

to hone their skills,

practicing their aim,

eye-hand coordination

and balance.

Teams must complete

three medieval games

to keep their hopes alive

in this leg of the race.

-I'm thinking we go crack nuts.

-Yeah.

Walnut cr*cker.

"Follow the marked path

to Detour choice."

I'd assume

it's over here, Marcus.

Or back where we came.

LUIS: We're back on track.

I'm gonna say we're gonna

keep our first place today.

-Another car?

-Somebody beat us. Yeah, somebody beat us.

MICHELLE: I'm telling

you, there was a shorter way.

Let's keep going down this way.

I think it's straight.

"Walnut cr*cker

or Medieval Gamer?"

-All right.

-MICHELLE: Which one you want to do?

-Sorry, guys.

-Later.

-Let's go ahead and do Medieval Gamer.

-Okay.

Go, go, go, go. Go, bro.

Keep going.

All right, what does it say?

It says, "Choose a station."

-Right here?

-Yeah, right here.

All right.

What does a walnut grove

look like?

MICHAEL: Do we need

to go down the road?

Is it down the road

or down this way?

I don't see anything else.

I don't know

what a walnut grove is.

Oh, Marcus,

it's on the ground.

-Just pick 'em up.

-Oh.

Classic.

They're just on the ground.

And they're all over the place.

MICHELLE:

Oh! How cute.

-[whoops]

-Hey, everybody!

Yes!

MICHELLE:

This is so beautiful.

You play them

in the order you wish.

-Okay.

-I see one, two

-Let's start over here.

-Okay.

MICHAEL:

All right.

He's just breaking 'em, walnuts.

He puts 'em in there.

Hand crank. Got it.

All right, Marcus, we just

break 'em and put 'em in here.

-You break and I stuff?

-Okay.

-We got to get to that black line.

-Okay.

LUIS: "Move the ball

to the top of the board

and into the designated hole."

Okay, we'll try. If not,

then we'll do something else.

-Okay.

-Go to your, uh, left.

Don't pull it yet.

Just keep going.

Can you Oh.

This is my left rope.

MICHELLE:

Now pull the right. There.

Okay, now pull together.

Stop. Ooh!

Oh, my God. This is hard.

Keep going. Pull with both.

Ugh. No.

LUMUMBA: The second time, I knew

exactly who I was looking for.

I was over there doing

everything I could to remember.

Chapelle was like a lion.

It was like, "Chapelle!"

If I had

done that one more time,

you'd probably see

me doing the Funky Chicken

or the Electric Slide

to get those names.

-Correct.

-[whoops]

GLENDA: Yes!

Yay! Come on, let's go!

You still never know.

Like, we fell into a ditch.

-We didn't expect that.

-[laughs]

You never know

what somebody's gonna run into.

-Okay. Okay.

-Okay.

"Walnut cr*cker

or Medieval Gamer?"

We're gonna do Walnut cr*cker.

MARCUS: So, we're trying

to knock this out.

And maybe we can

get another first,

'cause I'm tired

of finishing in the back.

-Same.

-And yes, the second place is the back. [laughs]

MOLLY: Oh, man, Marcus

and Michael are here.

Good job, guys.

-I mean, how many will we need?

-I don't know.

♪

Go ahead and, uh, pull left.

-Oh, no.

-[groans]

-All right. Let's try it again.

-Okay.

LUIS: Damn. We started

with the hardest one, huh?

All right.

-Pull the right.

-My right?

MICHELLE: The third time,

I thought I actually had it.

Pull both.

Oh, wait, stop.

Like Oh, no!

No. [laughs]

How far up did I go, baby?

Right here.

LUIS:

We went, like, six inches up.

-Nothing.

-The board is, like, six feet tall.

MICHELLE:

Want to switch Detours?

The other Detour's right there.

We can see it.

-We're gonna switch.

-We're gonna switch Detours.

-Let's do the walnut.

-Okay, walnut.

-You want to do walnut?

-Let's do walnut. Yeah, Walnut cr*cker.

That's plug and chug.

We just keep doing it.

CLAIRE: Let's go.

DEREK:

So who's ahead of us?

-Derek.

-AUBREY: I need to go see what he's doing again.

DEREK: I know.

CLAIRE: This is just

going to take every team

basically

the same amount of time.

So why not take a risk

and do the other Detour and

maybe we can pass some teams.

-I kind of want to do the games.

-DEREK: Okay.

-I think we're gonna do the games.

-Okay, good luck, guys.

♪

DEREK:

Lancer de Sac.

-"You must take turns. Land two consecutively."

-CLAIRE: Oh, these sacks?

DEREK:

Yeah.

Land two consecutively?

-Yeah.

-Oh, damn.

We have to go every other,

Derek.

I know,

but I haven't gotten one on.

All right,

you should throw first.

-Nuts.

-Nuts.

We are cracking nuts.

-We're cracking nuts.

-Come on.

-It's going down now.

-That's good.

AUBREY:

Good job, babe.

QUINTON:

Oh, I see 'em.

Ready? Come on.

Okay. Actually, you have

a good strategy. Like that.

And just shot put it.

Oh, nice.

I threw shot put,

so I'm used to throwing.

-DEREK: Your strategy. I was doing it underhand at first.

-Yeah, going overhand?

And I saw you doing overhand.

I was like, "Oh, that's genius."

CLAIRE:

Here we go.

Yeah, that's how we pass teams.

Okay, let's go.

DEREK: Okay. "Balance all of

your rocks on suspended table.

"You must place rocks

on the outside of the square.

-You may not touch it with any part of body."

-Okay.

Can we place two at a time?

-Yeah, it just says place them.

-Okay.

On the second challenge,

you basically have to balance

a bunch of rocks

onto this uneven disc.

-DEREK: Suspended platform.

-Yeah.

And all the rocks

weigh different amounts.

So the key

to this challenge is really

communicate with

your partner and figuring out

-which rocks weigh the same amount.

-Yeah.

Can I put this one down?

You put two down.

-This one's heavy. Put this one

-Which one's heavy?

-This one.

-Okay. So I'm gonna put

CLAIRE: Put that one

and put a light one, too.

Okay. We got it?

Yes.

Thank you.

Okay, come on.

Let's get this.

DEREK: All right. "One of you

will stand in front of the board

"and give directions while the

other one will stand behind it.

-CLAIRE: What do you want to do?

-You pull the ropes.

-Okay. Derek, I like this path.

-Okay.

You want to move it, basically,

horizontally to the left.

Yeah, that's perfect.

That's perfect. Keep doing that.

Okay, now go up.

Yep, that's perfect.

Okay, stop, stop.

MICHAEL: I'm gonna get it till,

like, it's all

MARCUS: Yeah, all the way above.

Yeah, above it.

LUIS:

I'd say we're about in third.

Emily and Molly are ahead of us.

EMILY: You're k*lling it, Moll.

It's not too bad

operating the crank.

It's more difficult to push in.

-EMILY: Do you want to switch?

-Nope.

-DAVID: We're a little over halfway.

-AUBREY: Yeah.

-Use those muscles, babe.

-Keep 'em coming, keep 'em coming.

QUINTON:

Mattie, put some in there.

-I'll just keep cranking faster.

-Okay.

Just crack it. Just crack it.

-All right. Money.

-Is that hot?

No.

-Finishing?

-Yeah, they're about to finish.

Can you check, please?

-Good.

Oh, I see, I see it lit.

"Race to the next Pit Stop."

Just like a painting.

No guesses

for why they call this panorama,

which offers unrivaled views

of Dordogne River Valley,

something teams can savor when

they check in to the Pit Stop.

Except for the last team,

who will remember

this majestic spot as

the place they were eliminated.

"Warning: the last team

to check in will be eliminated."

-Let's go.

-MOLLY: Good job, boys.

LUIS: Good job, y'all.

Hope you get lost.

Which, that will never happen.

-MARCUS: Can't get lost.

-MICHAEL: Nope.

MARCUS: Maybe we

can get ourselves a win.

Now, we have

to bring it up somehow.

-Yank it?

-Just up straight.

Three centimeters.

All right.

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

I was like,

"I need you to move this ball

exactly three centimeters

to the left."

Okay. The hole is just up

and to the right.

A little bit more to your right.

And then Claire would just

boop. And it would work.

And I was like, "Oh, my God."

Okay. Okay. A little bit. Okay.

-And now just up.

-Got it.

-Let's go.

-What do we do?

-Put it down.

-Thank you.

Wow. You k*lled that.

-Who do we bring 'em to?

-Juggling man.

He juggles and gives us a clue.

-Okay.

It's hard because you hear

things and you want to look,

Almost done. We're doing good.

-No.

Okay. Come on, walnut juice.

Yeah.

I'm just happy

that the navigation

was-was our strong point today.

Like, it caught us back up.

We're gonna take a right

and go west along the river.

follow them for a little bit,

but I'm putting all my trust

in Molly's navigation.

straight. Keep going straight.

Oh, there's a team right there.

I know we're going

the right way,

but I wonder if, like,

they got specific directions.

DAVID: Quinton and

Mattie are behind us.

AUBREY: Hold on, slow

down. Let me read the sign.

-It's the other way. We need to turn around.

-Up there?

I just

QUINTON: They don't

know where they're going.

AUBREY:

Domme is the other way.

So, reverse.

Pull into here. Reverse.

-So, we have to go back there?

-Yeah.

QUINTON: So what do

you think we should do?

Are we on the D50 right now?

DAVID: But they went there.

AUBREY:

Yeah, well, they're wrong.

Okay, so, babe,

when you get back

to that inner pass,

you need to make a left.

-So go that way?

-No, go straight.

-Oh, go up here.

-Go straight.

Domme is in front of you.

Go straight.

DAVID: I feel like the

lack of communication

and the increasing frustration

became a bit overwhelming.

AUBREY:

I second-guessed myself so much,

and we just

could not get on, like,

a clear communication path.

DAVID:

The D50 is back there, Aubrey.

-I just don't like that it says

-Can you find Cénac

-on the map?

-David, I am trying!

What do you think I'm doing?

-I'm asking you. I'm asking you.

-Literally, what do you

think I'm doing?

-You're not.

-I don't know what you're doing on the map.

I'm just trying to give input,

'cause we clearly

just went back and forth.

AUBREY: The faster you go, the harder

it is for me to read those signs.

I'm trying

to go as slow as I can.

Okay, well, go slower.

-Really?

-Yeah, really.

Well, then

give better directions.

DAVID: There was a sign

up there that said Vence.

Do you see Vence anywhere?

-Look at Look for

Stop telling me what to do!

DAVID: We know we're

either second to last

or we're possibly in last place,

and the more

I feel that, it just

overwhelms me.

I was trying to give you a sign

before you shut me up.

I'm gonna give you the map

and you can

figure it out yourself.

Fine.

-[chuckles]

-LeBron.

Kobe!

Okay.

There you go. There you go.

-Yeah!

-Hey!

I want you to just lightly pull

the left just a little bit.

Yep. Now pull both slowly.

Keep coming, keep coming.
