The 12 teams are
peter and sarah, newly dating triathletes
from southern california.
Peter and i have been
friends for the past seven years.
We trained for the Hawaii Iron Man.
We're training partners and
we're both triathletes.
I was born with one leg shorter than the other.
I have been wearing an artificial leg all of my life.
I have had a long-time crush on peter.
He builds artificial limbs for a living.
And so as a woman, it's
incredibly attractive that he
can take care of me in a way
that most men can't take care of me.
Sarah is the first woman i
trust with my heart.
Bilal and sa'eed, best
friends from cleveland, ohio.
We're muslim.
We're american.
We're fathers.
We're friends.
Our religion comes first in reference to the race.
There is no question we will
pull over and take five minutes
and pray.
Rob and kimberly, dating,
from los angeles.
Kimberly and i's relationship is at that point
where we either move forward
and get married or we don't.
I would like to see how he works under
pressure and making decisions for both of us.
Kimberly wants everything her own way.
She can't control me.
I'm a human being, and she
needs to learn that.
Dustin and kandice,
beauty queens from new york city.
Dustin and i met at miss america.
miss new york state 2005.
And this is miss california.
kandice is one of the most
competitive people i've met.
and that is the glue of our friendship.
Dave and Mary, a married coal miner
and wife from Kentucky.
Being a coal miner, I feel like
we are tougher than most people.
It's dangerous
I'm under stress.
I'm fearing for my life.
David and i have been married for nine years.
I didn't think he would want
anything to do with me because he's so cute.
I'm just normal.
Finally, i had to go out and
just about beg her to come talk to me.
Yeah. He liked me, and it was real cool.
Erwin and godwin,
brothers from the san francisco
bay area.
I think when people look at
my brother and i, and
especially me, they say there
is a meathead.
The difference is i studied at
NYU for my master's.
I graduated from u.c.
Berkeley and graduate school harvard.
I don't think there will be a
problem the two of us can't solve.
Duke and lauren, father and
daughter from rhode island.
It's been a while since
lauren and i spent real quality time together.
When i look at lauren, i love her to death.
There is just a teeny bit of
disappointment as a father looking at lauren.
I'm gay.
I came out of the closet
shortly after college, and we
went through several months not
even speaking to each other.
Right now, we're really trying
to work on our relationship.
Vipul and arti, husband
and wife from orlando, florida.
We have been married 21/2
years and we're looking forward
to building a beautiful family.
Coming from the indian
culture, we follow a lot of the
traditions as well as trying to
live the american life.
Being on "the amazing race,"
that would definitely enable us
to have all that adventure out
of our system before we have
kids.
Kellie and jamie, best
friends and cheerleaders from
south carolina.
Jamie and i entertain each
other more than anything else.
It's so funny.
You could put us in a cardboard
box and we would find a way to
have fun.
We both that the personality that
we could have a conversation with a doorknob.
Tyler and james,
recovering drug addicts and
models from hollywood,
california.
Tyler and i met through
heavy drug use.
We were both addicts.
And then we met in recovery,
and that's when our friendship
really blossomed.
We started modeling together.
What a turnaround.
What a 180 in our life.
It's like... amazing.
James and i have learned
through addiction that we have
a fight inside of us that won't
give up.
Lyn and karlyn, lifelong
friends and single mothers from
birmingham, alabama.
Lyn and i are both very
independent and it's just
easier to be a single mom when
you don't need other people so much.
Sometimes you're like, "ok, i
wish somebody would come and
k*ll this spider."
Tom and terry, boyfriends
from new york city.
We're not looking to make
new friends.
We will be friendly, but at the
end of the day this is a game.
This is a competition.
And we all want to win.
So it's not like i'm going to
be sending christmas cards to
these people.
We want to win.
There will be more,
"bye-bye, see you later."
Yeah.
Can these teams stand up
to the stress of traveling
together across nearly 40,000 miles?
And who will muster the right
combination of brains, brawn
and teamwork to win the $1 million?
These are the questions waiting
to be answered as we get ready
to begin "the amazing race."
In just a few minutes,
you will be leaving on a race
around the world.
The race is divided into many legs.
At the end of each leg of the
race, there is a pit stop.
Eight of these pit stops are
elimination points, so you need
to get to them as fast as you can.
Because if you're last
YOU will be eliminated.
Now, you may think that you
know this race, and how to play
the game, but i'm here to tell
you that in this race, there
will be surprises you never expected.
When i give you the word, you
can run over to your bags
read the clue on top of your luggage
and jump into one of the cars
in the parking lot.
What happens after that is completely up to you.
The first team to cross the
finish line will win $1 million.
Is everybody ready?
Yeah.
All right.
The world is waiting for you.
Good luck.
Travel safe.
Go.
Sa'eed.
I got you, i got you.
Right here, right here.
"Fly to beijing, china."
You may only travel one of
these two flights.
United airlines 175???
"Or korean air flight 126
departing at 2:00 p.m.
"first come, first serve."
You have $86 for this leg of the race.
Beijing, china.
Come on, kellie.
Over there.
Let's go, let's go.
Sa'eed, let's go.
Right here, babe.
In, in.
We're living leaving in
front of everybody.
Come on, sarah.
You got it?
Yeah. Let's go.
Allah is the greatest.
That's right, that's what
i'm talking about.
Follow them.
Otherwise, get to the l-5.
Come on, kellie.
Put it in drive.
Turn it on.
It's on.
We are going to china.
There we go.
We're going to beijing, china.
Oh, my gosh.
This is what i like.
First ones out.
Right.
Let's go.
Like the way we jumped on that?
we've got to roll.
Right now, we've just got to
get to the freeway and get on
this flight to the homeland...
although we're not chinese.
We're not chinese.
What's the matter with you?
It's not starting.
This is not happening.
Go.
I don't know how to get it in gear.
put your foot on the brake
and put it in "d."
ok, let's go.
Good girl, ok.
make it go.
We're the last two people here.
go.
Jeez.
We're the last ones to leave.
Have no fear, we'll be there.
Ask someone.
I'm going to go to a gas station.
Going in here.
Everybody's just going past us.
I'm letting them go, man.
Excuse me.
Can you tell us how to get to the airport?
Allah akbar, let's go.
I'm somewhat aggressive.
He's a passive guy.
Which is good.
You have to have the blend.
It's got to be here somewhere.
I'm hoping it's on top of this hill.
we're doing ok.
What does the sign say?
Five.
OK
Yea, kellie.
that can't be right, though.
It said "next right."
Oh, sh**t.
They're turning off.
Did we pass it?
It said five was up here.
Are you sure?
This is a nice car.
we didn't get over.
Please look for the signs,
honey, please.
I have never been to china.
I am excited.
Remember what i told you
about people from alabama in china.
They like us because of
the movie "forrest gump".
Those teams are looking at
you and saying "there is no way."
A lot of times, people with
disabilities are looked upon differently.
I know in my heart that i can
be tougher than the right.
There we go.
The five, next right south.
Cubelieve we're doing this, arti?
No???
Arti is loving, caring,
friendly.
Look at her.
She's beautiful.
She really is my best friend.
This is l-5.
Jump on.
Look for the space needle.
Mary, better check on some
directions to the airport.
Everybody's...
i don't have a map.
How do you expect me to do it?
Is that someone in front of us?
Yeah, that was kentucky.
How do we get to sea-tac?
Go to 99 south.
OK 99
I'm hungry.
I want some chinese food.
A lot of traffic.
Traffic.
Holy crap.
Accident ahead.
I think there must be, like,
a wreck up here or something.
Who is that behind us?
That's the indian guys behind us.
I don't know.
Want to gamble?
I'm going to take a side road.
Yeah.
That's exactly what i'm doing
the accident is just up ahead.
I have total faith in you, peter.
South five.
Accident averted.
Look at that.
See, you went around it.
We want to go for the united.
Another way, right?
Maybe this is faster than five
- even though i don't think so.
Be quiet.
Where we come from, the man
makes all the decisions and the
wife just sits over and takes
care of the kids and that's it.
He just needs to see that, on
this race we're going to be
You need to start listening to
me if you want to win this race.
Try to do a little weaving here.
We need to, like, stay on top of it.
That saved us a little time.
Yeah.
My mom would love me for this.
There it is.
Thrifty airport parking.
There you go.
We've got to roll.

hour later.

Awesome.
There is thrifty airport parking.
There, there is thrifty's.
Thrifty airport parking is
where we're trying to be.
Are you sure it's in the garage?
I hope this is right.
We should ask someone.
We're literally driving in a
circle trying to find a car rental return.
Ask these guys.
Do you know where thrifty is?
Thank you.
How do i get to thrifty?
Thank you.
It's not even in here.
We made a big mistake.
We've just got to find the
thrifty rental car return.
Let's go to the rental car return.
Rental car return.
What are you talking about,
rental car return?
Thrifty is a rental car company, sweetheart.
I don't know that.

Yeah.
I don't rent cars.
There it is on the left.
So whoa, we're going to china.
We're going to china.

Another team behind us.
Want to take the risk and follow them?
Sure. Ok.
This airport's k*lling me, dude.

No.Don't go in there.
Where do you want me to go?
You can't go in there.
And if you yell at me like that again...
i don't know where to go.
Thrifty airport parking.
I told you, off site.
Let's go.
Korean.
Look at the line for this thing.
Are we going to even make this flight?
Oh, boy.
It can't get worse.
Are we going to even make this flight?
Oh, boy.

I'm lauren.
Jamie.

This is my dad.
I have been trying to ask her out for years.
We'll see you.
All right.
Thank you.
We need tickets to beijing.
The flight is full.
It is full?
Korean, this way.
Hi.
We need tickets to beijing.
What's up, guys?
What's going on, man.
I'm bilal, man.
Kellie.
I would shake your hand...

No.
In our religion...

Do muslims believe in...
i don't know.
Hi.
We need tickets to beijing.
How are you doing?
We need the same flight.
It's good.
There she is.
Look at you.
You're so rude.
Are you kidding me?
These are not allowed.
Thank you.
Look.
He's getting jacked for his squirt g*n.
You can't have these?
Totally not.
Nothing like this.Ok?
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Arrest them.
We would now like to announce preboarding
for passengers requiring special assistance.
If we can look at your passports, then.
she's preboarding because of the leg.
That's no excuse.
We're going to be able to
play that card for a lot of places.
The united flight carries
peter and sarah, dustin and
kandice, david and mary, tyler
and james, duke and lauren and
lyn and karlyn.
The korean air flight
scheduled to arrive nearly an
hour later carries tom and terry.
Bilal and sa'eed, erwin and
godwin and rob and kimberly.
Let's go up.
We can outrun these guys.
Yeah.
She can run the irne man
but she can't stand in line?
Get a taxi.
We're first up.
The place we have to go?
???
Ok.
Here we go.
We're in china.
Look at china.
We are in china.
Teams must now travel by
taxi to the area known as kwanman.
They need to find the gold
house restaurant where they
will find their next clue.
Find gold house.
race, race.
Hurry.
Hurry.
Beijing is gorgeous.
It's huge.
Being in china is very overwhelming.
I've never been anywhere
outside kentucky and tennessee.
It's like dropping a
and telling them just go.
How far away away?
Not so far.
we look like such tourists right now.
Everyone is checking us out.
We were supposed to get in at 8:00.
We're a little behind.
Find gold house.
Get it on.
to the break of dawn.
I think the race is really
you know.
Hopefully, this taxicab
drive won't be too long.
He's k*lling us.
Everybody is passing us.
That's the couple from alabama.
The two gals from alabama
don't like us because we've outrun them.
I am so sick of peter and sarah.
One minute, she's got a disability.
The next minute, she's fine and
she can do this and she can do that.
If i get there before they do,
it's on.
Yea, we're going to the gold house.
Are you fast taxi driver?
Ok.
Ok, yea.
Taxi.
The second we got off that
plane it was, like, my adrenalin, i am not tired.
You can't be tired.
I am not tired.
We go to gold house.
Yes?
Ok, good.
we're in china, dude.
It's a lot like korea, just
more chinese characters.
kwanmin, ok.
right here. Come on.
Roadblock.
A roadblock is a task
that only one person may perform.
In this roadblock, that person
has to muster the intestinal
fortitude to indulge in a
chinese del cas.
Fish eyes.
While alien to many americans,
this food is actually quite
common in china.
Team members are required to
eat all the eyeballs out of a
bowl of fish heads to receive
their next clue.
"Who is hungry to stay in the race?"
I'm hungry.
"fish eyes are your next clue."
At least you eat chinese food.
Yeah, do it like that.
Oh, delicious.
I love you.
Welcome to china.
This is it.
Come on.
Roadblock.
You're a better eater than i am.
I'm going to have to do this.
Peter and sarah...
oh, my god, these things are gnarly.
There it is.
Ok.
Just swallow.
Don't chew.
We're first, we're first.
We can do this.
Good job, peter.
Here it is.
Got it.
Waiter, waiter.
Thank you.
Take a taxi to the business
city and find the meridian gate.
Teams must travel by taxi
to the porbidden city,
once the seat of china's imperial government.
Teams need to find the meridian
gate entrance and this kiosk
where they will find three
departure times for the morning.
It's here they will find one of
the big surprises of this race.
Alabama just passed us.
Taxi.Taxi.
Stop, stop, stop.
Forbidden city?
Yes.
Good. Thank you.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Come on.
Time you grab will determine
how early you will be released
in the morning.
And maybe the last one will
be eliminated.
Think this is an elimination
round so soon?
No.
Can we have someone check him?
Oh.
Good.
HERE WE GO
find the meridian gate.
I'm hungry.
Are you really?
???
Gold house.
Let's go get a clue.
Is this the golden house?
This is not gold house.
Crap.
Thank you.
Hurry.
I can just take the eyes
out, i think.
Oh, i dropped it.
]]???
Golden house?
This is teahouse.
Where is golden house?
I don't know.
Ok.
The driver took us to the
wrong stinking place.
we've got our team here.
I know.
I'm trying to get these
chopstick things.
How are you doing, man?
She's got four or five of them down.
James, get in there.
I got your bag, come on.
Hi, girls.
You got my backpack?
Do you know where the forbidden city is?
No?
Can we do it?
Are you hungry?
Yeah.
THAT'S IT
you will be released in the morning.
Let's go. We've got to get there now.
Hey, guys.
Look who it is.
They're yummy.
Their flight was not that
much ahead of ours and we're
all caught up.
Forbidden city.
I know it.
Taxi.
Woo, beat the kentuckians.
gold house?
I'm hungry.
One swallow.
Oh, my god.
???
Hi, ladies.
Hey, guys.
Tasty.
Go, go, go.
It should be here.
It may be upstairs.
Gold house?
This is not it.
Good job, good job, i'm so proud of you.
Does anyone speak english?
Yes.
Gold house?
Where?
Take us.
I never heard this.
Thank you.
I thought it was a sure thing.
we're so far behind right now.
You don't know the golden house?
i didn't see this one coming.
Does anyone speak english?
We're so far behind right now.
Golden highways.
Will you walk with us?
Come on, come on.
Let's go.
Minutes running?
Yeah.
Can you go faster, sir?
I'll tip you.
Please, go faster.
We need to find gold house.
Running for our lives here, man.
You know, i'm kind of just
jittery right now.
He doesn't have a need for speed.
All the cars are passing us.
This driver isn't the speediest.
We just want to go.
This is it?
Yes.
Thank you.
Let's go.
We caught up with the blonds
Who were on the first flight.
Come here.
Who is hungry?
I'll do it.
This sucks.
They really gain some time on us.
Go.
Let's go, let's go.
This doesn't look like the gate.
Do you guys see it?
I think we're here.
We're here.
Here, here.
Is there a marker?
Yes.
Let's grab one.
Good job, kid.
We lapped the entire field.
Pull a time.
This way, honey.
That was the earliest time.
Hey, honey.
Are we still walking?
Here, here, here, here.
This is the forbidden city.
It's like a castle.
Ninja land.
Here, here.
Boo.
Yes.
Who is hungry to stay in the race?
I am.
There is a team right there.
Just eat them.
Can you just eat them?
There is an example.
They're actually really not bad.
You're ok, baby.
This is disgusting.
I'm glad you're doing this.
Are you sure this is it?
Ok.
Here's a taxi coming by us.
Go, go, go, go, yeah, shea, shea.
There is another.
The girls.
Good driver, good driver.
Thank you.
Wow.
Woo.
Come on, come on.
That's it, 7:30, 7:15, pull it,
pull it.
Good.
I beat two people on the first flight.
It seemed awesome.
This is it?
Let me ask this guy real quick.
No, this can't be it.
All done?
You earned it, yes, hon, i'm so proud.
The blonds are beating us.
Does anyone speak english?
Ah.
Come on, babe.
The muslims are here.
We're coming, get rolling.
Hurry up.
The beards are here.
Dang.
The markers.
Guildhall special dish.
The other side?
Right there, right there,
right there.
Oh, yeah.
We're done.
Ok.
Let's go.
This can't be it, man.
What?
There is no one in there.
Around, around.
Need some water?
There we go, there we go.
We definitely know we have
to step it up to make sure we're not last.
Is it good?
"Find the meridian gate."
Good luck, guys.
Thank you.
Eat.
What are you looking at them
for?
Two teams that were on the
second plane ride passed us,
and that's disheartening
because we worked so long and
so hard to be in the first plane ride.
I'm from cleveland, ohio.
What do i know about chopsticks?
Rock 'n' roll.
We're the last team.
Just swallow it.
Pull a time.
An early one.
Earliest time.
We've got to pull 7:30.
It says "last team."
I don't know what that means.
Forbidden city, meridian
gate.
He doesn't know in english.
Oh, boy.
Are you going to turn?
See what i'm saying?
He don't know where the hell he's going.
We might as well get out and walk.
Thank you, man, thank you.
Last one.
Ok.
"Find the meridian gate."
Taxi.
Hopefully, we will get a
break.
We haven't caught many.
Can you pull over?
Stop.
Does somebody speak english?
We need to go to forbidden city.
The meridian gate.
Thank you s
city.
The meridian gate.
Thank you so much.
Thanks.
Wow.
Yes.
I can't keep driving in
circles with this guy.
Right here.
Stop, stop, stop.
There it is, there it is.
It's another team.
It's called the what?
The meridian gate.
It says it's in there.
Some people here.
Come on, please.
Here we go.
Dang it, we're not the last,
Hey guys.
"Last team."
You know, i think we're still
probably got to check in.
Let's move it.
There they are, there they
are c13
let's move it.
There they are, there they
are.
Bilal and sa'eed,
you're the last team to arrive at this
point in the race.
I said there would be surprises.
Yeah.
Even though this is not a
pit stop, i'm sorry to tell you
you have both been
eliminated from the race.
Wow.
Wow.
We didn't expect this.
Because it doesn't say that
this was a pit stop.
Remember?
I said there were twists and
turns and some surprises.
This just goes to show that
you have no, really, control
over anything.
The creator does.
It's hard not to feel
emotional for them.
They seem like really good guys.
Take nothing for granted.
Expect the unexpected.
We didn't expect it.
From this point on we take
nothing for granted.
Juse move to take it challenge by challenge.
And take day by day.
I would be heartbroken if it
had to end here.
The amazing news to continued
and moved.
I feel bad for them but it's
a game.
I'll miss them.
They seemed like cool guys.
We're thankful we get to
race another guy, because it is
crazy.
The 11 teams will be
departing the forbidden city in
three groups, each spaced 15
minutes apart and based on the
order they checked in.
"Travel by motorbike to the
junction of 14 how high north
bank road."
Teams must get in the
side cars of these world w*r ii
motor bikes and go to this
junction where this manager
will give them their next clue.
This morning i put on my
prosthetic leg and i noticed
the knee was leaking hydraulic
fluid.
It's not painful, it's just
harder.
It's like going on a bike
ride and realizing your back
tire has a slow leak.
This is one of the things i
can't fix, unfortunately.
I'm just going to have to be
tougher.
There are the motor bikes.
Let's go.
We are in a groove.
We have been consistent.
I'm amazed how well we are
communicating.
Choose the marked
motorcycle.
I think we're surprising
some of the other teams put out
by how well we did the first
round.
Addiction is one of the
toughest things for somebody to
go through, and we fought
through that and came out on
the other side, so inside of
each of us there is a fighter.
We aren't willing to give up.
Are you ready?
Woo.
Put your helmet on.
Here we go.
Woo-woo.
We have to navigate.
This is crazy, dude.
"travel by motorbike to the
junction of 14 huhi north park
find the petit-cab manager.
We've got to find this guy.
Go, go, go.
Here we go, sir.
"Detour.
"Labor or leisure."
In this detour teams have
to choose between things seen
all over beijing.
The choice, labor or leisure.
In labor, teams choose a
petitcab and travel one mile to this market.
Once here they use traditional
methods to pave a section of
sidewalk in a specific pattern.
The task is physical but teams
with another strength could
finish fast.
In leisure, teams choose a
petitcab and travel two miles
to the park where they will
take park in a new exercise
called tai chi bilong.
Teams without the right skill
and coordination could find
themselves stuck here for a long time.
Let's do the labor.
Labor.
Go, go, go, go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Follow them, follow them.
"Travel by motorbike to the
junction of 14 huhi north bank road.
Last night was a bit of a
wake-up call for us.
Not knowing what to expect
is very scary.
Yesterday was the fear of
we feel god for me.
We're going to light it up
today and try to catch some teams.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go, team karma.
Here we go.
Let's go, baby.
Yeah.
All right.
Daili market.
Here, come on, let's go, here.
Let's do this.
I think it's got to match
exactly what we see here.
In this detour, what
teams have to figure out is
that they must place larger
gray bricks around the borleder
before placing the smaller red
bricks.
Start handing me the bricks.
Peter is more hyper than me.
Just let me do this here.
He can get very nervous and
excited about things.
I'm not that competitive with
peter because i just sort of
know my own boundaries and limits.
You just bring bricks, sarah.
We need a demonstration.
You need to tighten yours up.
It's not here.
Can you tell me what the
pattern is like what they're doing?
Look.
I had this part, i was
trying to...
karlyn is quick-tempered.
She has to be in control.
And when she's not in control
she will blow her stack.
Right here.
Start right there.
Weaver done that part.
That part is right.
Surfer dudes.
Right here, right here.
Next to the model.
Small on the corner then long.
Up, small, up.
Can't be.
No, no, no,.
What?
Let's figure out the pattern
here.
Look at the far left.
Put these all around.
Yeah, dude, that's it.
You've got
keep going.
Keep going.
No, no, no.
Just let me do this here.
Peter.
It ends.
I've got to go with the
pattern here.
No, but look, see...
no, no, no.
These.
We forgot the black ones on
the outside.
Keep bringing the little
ones.
Let's go, right here.
We're going to be the first
ones out.
Two more.
Once we get the pattern,
we're going to be fine.
Karlyn, you've got to get
those gray ones.
Come on.
Put some over here.
Thank you, lord.
We need to catch up.
Are these petitcabs?
Petitcab manager?
Thank you.
"Labor or leisure?"
Labor.
Let's do leisure.
Hyde park.
Can we go around?
We're going to balance.
We're cheerleaders.
We're going to balance this
thing.
Tom and terry.
What's with the traffic?
We would do better on a
bicycle.
Labor or leisure?
We'll do this.
We're going to do labor.
Are we going in circles?
I don't know.
Everything looks different, and
the same, if that makes sense.
Do you speak english?
Hello.
English? American english?
It's like the blind leading
the blind.
Labor or leisure?
What do you want to do?
Let's do...
just pick.
Labor.
We can do this.
We have endurance.
That must be it.
I think i see it.
There it is.
Detour.
Labor?
We'll do labor.
Woo.
I don't know.
America, u.s.a.?
You speak english?
No?
This is crazy.
This is nuts.
Oh.
I guess this is when the map
would come in handy.
This is bad.
This is crazy.
This is nuts.
Oh, god, this light is
taking forever.
Do you speak english?
Ho hide north bank?
Go straight.
Thank you very much.
These are petitcabs.
Thank you.
We're going to do labor.
I need a small one.
I need your help on this.
Sorry.
I need your help.
Give me bricks, sarah.
I'm having a hard time.
I'm sorry.
Lauren, you need to move.
Please.
Thank you.
Doing good.
This is horrible.
Just keep going.
There it is, right there.
Good job.
Yes.
"Take a taxi to the pit stop."
Teams travel to
juyongguan, one of the gateways
to the great wall of china."
This ancient fortification is
the pit stop to this leg of the
race.
To gain access teams must use a
rope to scale up and over the
wall, and the last team to
check in here may be
eliminated.
Find a taxi.
Someone who speaks english.
We've got to find a taxi,
man.
We're good.
Hi.
Here we go.
Come on, sarah.
Good?
Ok, sarah.
"Take a taxi to the pit stop.
Scale the wall."
Cool.
We've got to go grab a taxi.
They just threw theirs
together.
He tries to micromanage so
much, they can kiss my behind.
James and tyler.
There they are.
Go, go, go.
Taxi.
Here comes the other teams.
Here we go.
Hey, guys.
Hi, ladies, have fun.
They're ahead of us.
I think the model boys... yeah,
they're attractive.
They're dangerous.
Right here.
Right over there.
Let's do it together.
I'll go get the bricks.
We go here and we go here.
Thank you.
Take a taxi to the pit stop.
This is horrible.
Come on, lyn.
We are looking for a cab.
Sarah.
Get over here.
I've got a taxi.
Please.
Thank you, thank you.
My leg is good, and it was
good to have this running foot
on to run a little bit.
We can preserve whatever
hydraulic fluid is still in
there, we can slow down the
leak, that's what we're doing.
That's it?
Yeah?
He's saying to take this bus.
This is a big waste of time.
He helped us out big time.
Yes?
Yes.
Where is he at?
Back here?
No, no, no.
He doesn't want to do it.
I don't know.
We have to do one like this.
Ok.
Like a wall thing.
Hi, girls.
Girl, this stuff is crazy.

Dude, we had this, man.
We still have it.
So do i.

Almost there.
Right here?

Thank you, lord.
Thank you, thank you, thank u.
"Take a taxi to the pit stop."
They're going straight.
All the way down.
Hang in there, y'all.
Don't give up.

That's it.
Done.
There you go.
I think we set a record.
Going to the pit stop, girl.
Thank you.
Great wall.
That brick laying was horrible.
Babe, i need you to listen
to me for five seconds.
Is ours bigger than theirs?
If they can figure it out,
babe, we can figure it out.
Baby, you need to just...
the

All the other teams are gone.
love with this relationship.
The one percentage that i'm not
is when we take tones with each
you want to bail or do you wantto stay?
No, i want to stay.
Just keep doing it, don't talk.
What is he doing with those?
Babe, that's what it is.
We've got to put those around the edges.
Start over.
Hey, don't throw them.
I'm sorry.
That's no good.
Did i break them?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Go, go.
Let's go.
We're cheerleaders.
This is it, girls, this is it.
Right here.
In this detour, teams
must perform a series of
specific tai gi bilong moves.
One, two,
how many times do we have to do that?
Four.
One, two.
One, two
Look at the hands.
Your left hand.
Three, four.
Looks like we are at the market.
What's up, guys?
I'm leveling, dude. Get stones.

It's going up.
It's just small steps.
And you are strong.
Your upper body is stronger
than anybody's out there.
You can do this.
Peter could be the great
love of my life.
If we don't risk our hearts a
little bit, we're never going
to know if perhaps there is a
greater love here.
Peter and sarah are neck and neck.
Go, go, go, yes.
It's the team up on your right.
Faster, faster, faster.
Go, go, go
they just went ripping by us.
That's what i'm talking now
we're talking.
I'm learning a lot more
about lauren.
She is very athletic.
She very determined.
She's one hell of a teammate.

Right here, is the road

I am coming
sarah, you are my girl.
You are an all-american

This is not it, sarah.
How do we get through?
We've got to go all the way back down.
There is no other team.
We're going the wrong way.
That's right
We missed something big time.
I think they're climbing.
We're the first team?
Yeah.
Yes.
Let's get tied in.
Who will get it first?
You will.
One of the greatest things
is knowing i can rely on tyler.
We're both physically fit, but
i have so much confidence in him
that it makes me more
confident in our team overall.
I'm not using the loops.
You've got to wait until you're done.
I know
i know you do.
Maybe i should, actually.
Come on, sweetie, this way.
Pick a rope.
That's going to be tricky.
You can do this, dad.
You know how to do this, sarah.
You know how to do this.
You have to use your sound-side foot.
It's much harder than it looks.
That's ok.
That's ok.
Take a breather.
Is it hard?
A little bit.
Should i use the loops?
You might want to use the foot.
Good job.
You got it.
You can do this, dad.
Oh, my god.
Sarah.

I can't do it, babe.
I have to find a foothold.

I ain't disagreeing nothing.
Move everything else out of the way.
Good.
Thank you.
Open it.
Take a taxi to the pit stop.
We need a taxi to the great wall of china.

Shut up.
I'm more than serious, dave.
I'm trying to help you.
Then step back and shut up.

My heart's beating fast.
You're up.
Straighten with the other leg.
All the way.
Welcome to china.
Thank you.
Vipul and Arti,
you're the last team to arrive.
Kind of figured.
I'm sorry to tell you,
you have been eliminated from the race.
It was a great ride.
This has been an amazing
experience.
It was short, but it was just
amazing.
We fell in love, we respect
each other, we love each other,
we support each other.
We complete each other, and
i think that's what's important
in a relationship is just
having that confidence in each other.
I think this race has showed us
that that's definitely possible.
My true love.
