35x01 - The Amazing Race Is Back!

[bunniefuu]

The Amazing Race is back!

So, one thing I know

about this race

is that anything can happen

at any given time.

And we're pulling out

all the stops.

Come on. You got it.

Circling the globe

the old-school way.

We need to book a flight.

First time in the tuktuk.

This is how you travel in style.

Taking it to extremes

Aah!

Oh, yeah.

That was hard.

I don't think I got it.

I'm not looking down.

with all the feels.

It's so hard not to cry.

Once again, the Express Pass

is up for grabs.

And the U-Turn is mandatory.

Are you serious?

And for the first time,

we're kicking off

this race with 13 teams.

Couples

friends and family.

- Namaste.

- Namaste.

In the end, only one

team will win $1 million

and The Amazing Race.

The Hollywood Sign

is celebrating

its 100th anniversary.

Originally built as a billboard,

it is now the most famous sign

in the world

and a perfect spot

for the starting line

in this monumental

35th season of.

The Amazing Race.

# #

Let's go!

I want to have fun

running this race.

So, what constitutes fun?

Winning. So I want

to be a team that wins.

Let's go!

We are both competitive.

- Yes.

- Even with my son.

I don't take it easy

on an eight-year-old.

We will 1,000% be fighting.

Now, will we be able

to curb the fighting?

Will we be able

to respect each other,

love on each other,

support each other?

That's the real question.

Welcome to Hollywood.

Behind me,

Los Angeles, California.

This is the land

of fame and fortune,

but you are gonna

leave this land behind

and you will be going

on a race around the world.

In the end, there will be only

one winner on this Amazing Race.

You have no idea what

or who you're up against.

So, to get things started,

why don't you tell everybody

a little bit about yourself.

My name is Corey.

Uh, this is my dad, Rob.

Uh, my dad's deaf.

Both my parents are deaf.

What's the number one thing

you're looking forward to, Rob?

On my first wedding anniversary,

I got deployed with him.

I left my wife to be with him.

Now on my 20th anniversary

I once again left my wife

to be with him.

I think your wives

will be okay with it

- if you come home with a million dollars, too.

- Yes.

We have our challenges

when it comes to communication,

especially when

one of us is stressed

that's normally me. So

And the other's

not communicating,

which is normally me.

We're really hoping to really

strengthen

our communication skills.

Well, strengthen one

of our communication skills.

You will be testing

your relationship.

I can promise you that.

Yeah, he always tests it.

We work at least 12 hours,

if not more a day.

That's all we do,

almost seven days a week.

- Yes.

- So, yeah, this is our break

to hang out with each other and

figure out who he actually is.

Your name's Victor, right?

- Yes.

- Okay. All right, just checking.

We're both

very sassy, very spicy,

- but we're like best friends.

- She's stubborn.

She doesn't

listen to her mother.

Oh, and you're not stubborn?

- No, not at all.

- Yeah, no, not at all.

-Not at all.

-I'm always right. I'm always right.

I cannot believe we are here,

frankly.

I'm a Navy vet,

a recent Navy vet,

and my brother here

is a Marine vet.

And I'm hoping

that this is gonna be

a good opportunity

for us to get some traveling in.

All right.

You remember last season

that we had

no non-elimination legs?

Yes.

Well, guess what?

We're doing it again.

- Aw.

- Ooh.

Getting eliminated

first would hurt a lot,

especially

with 13 teams this season.

To look at

12 other teams and go,

"Dang, we couldn't

take on one of them?"

Along the way, you will

come across the Express Pass.

It won't be easy to win

but if you win it,

it will allow to skip

any challenge

that you don't want to complete

and hopefully leap

ahead of the other teams.

There's nothing

I wouldn't do to win this.

Robbin is really

bold and outrageous.

You never know what

you're gonna get out of her

and I think that spontaneity

is one of the reasons that she's

such a close friend of mine.

The other thing

you will encounter is a U-Turn.

What makes this U-Turn different

is it will be a mandatory vote

for you to slow down

another team

- No way.

- forcing them to perform both sides of the Detour.

- Wow.

- Okay.

Everybody will be making a vote.

Mandatory U-Turn

and it required

- a vote?

- A vote.

We were like, "Oh, crap."

- It changes - The whole ballgame.

- It does.

It's, uh, it's definitely

gonna bring the drama.

You have a plane to catch.

And you should know

that airports are back in play.

No more charters.

You're gonna

have to fight it out

to get on the best flights.

Everything else you need to know

is inside a clue

which is inside

a car down the hill.

You guys ready to do this race?

Yeah!

All right.

The world is waiting for you.

Good luck.

Travel safe.

Go!

Let's go!

- Got it?

- Let's go.

Let's go!

Come on, come on.

Keep going. Keep going.

Up here, up here.

Go up to a front one.

Right there.

Oh, sh**t. Can you

grab the clue? It's on the

- Got it.

- Come on. Let's go.

All right.

-Let's go.

- Okay, - we need to figure out

how to get

to the Biltmore Hotel.

Is anybody in front of us?

People are behind us.

We're off, baby. Amazing Race!

Let's go!

This is the most exciting

moment of my adult life.

Downtown L.A.

is to the left of us.

Yeah, it's southeast.

You can't say left.

You have to give me,

like, real directions.

Southeast. Okay, fine.

Joe and I

have been dating for

- Do you want to answer this?

- Nope.

Okay, good.

We've been dating

for a little over five years.

And now we're engaged.

We are opposites

in every sense of the word.

And, yeah,

it has been kind of a blessing

in this relationship,

because we do complement

each other

in a lot of key areas.

I-I couldn't be

more excited about all of this.

How do we get.. We got to

- We got to get directions.

- All right.

Should we ask that guy?

Sheridan, should we

ask that guy?

Oh, oh, oh.

Sir.

Um, can you help us find

the historic Biltmore Hotel?

101 South.

- Yeah, 101.

- South.

Exit Wilshire. Okay. Come on.

Left on Hollywood?

Left on Hollywood,

and then right on 101.

Okay, let's go.

- Can I see the top one more time? I'm so sorry.

- Yeah.

Thank you.

Okay. Can I just

see the map really fast?

# #

Whenever

we'd go on family trips,

I would always

sit in the back seat,

mom up front,

little brother next to me.

So I'm pretty used

to getting his attention.

Tapping on the shoulder,

and he looks up

in the mirror,

and we can talk up here.

I am a CODA, which stands

for child of deaf adult.

So, my dad Rob is deaf.

I think we have a really

unique dynamic, my dad and I,

because it's

a pretty atypical role

that you'll

see a deaf person in today,

where I feel like a lot of times

we see the deaf person

as being reliant on someone else

or having sort of

a provider for them.

Whereas in our situation,

my dad raised me.

Finally. Yeah.

We've been waiting for this

for years and years.

Have dreamt of this

and made it here.

I'm so upset.

I've been

to the Hollywood Sign,

and I don't have

a phone to capture the moment.

You have your memories.

No, my memory is shocked.

Malaina and I have been

best friends for 27 years.

We first met

at Kutztown University.

You know, our bond just grew

stronger and stronger

as friends, and, I mean,

really like sisters.

Yeah. Malaina,

what you see is what you get.

As soon as you see her, she's

she's in there full-full force.

I'm a little reserved,

but then once you get

to know me, then I'm like,

- you'll get to see the - goofy side and the bubbly side.

- Yeah. Yeah.

Whatever way

the wind blow, I go.

Yeah.

We on 110, right?

No, we're on 101 South.

So we're going down. So we

That is why

Andrea's the navigator.

I said 110, and we're on 101.

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

- I'll drive and you navigate, okay?

- All right.

Doesn't feel good

to be last, but that's okay.

- People are rushing.

- Yeah.

We have a lot of similarities.

We share an apartment

in Chicago.

We both work

at the same consulting firm.

- We both kind of like routine.

- I have the same

I have the same thing

for breakfast every day.

- It's oatmeal.

- Me too.

The race will definitely

push us far outside

of our comfort zones,

but we're excited for that

to really just shake things up

and kind of

embrace something very new.

Traffic, very giving me anxiety.

Just get off here.

Iliana's my daughter.

It's special because

it's a relationship

I never thought

I was going to have.

She's my very first born

after the doctor says

I couldn't have children.

We're very similar.

She's a mini me.

- We're identical in a lot of ways.

- -Which means, which means

we're very close, but we

also butt heads.

But we get along.

I know. It's, like,

you love someone

and you want

to strangle them so much

- at the same time.

- Yeah, at the same time.

It's a special time, special

moment for us to have together.

I never thought

in a million years

this would come full circle

on The Amazing Race.

Biltmore. Right here.

Let's go, baby!

Oh, my God, I cannot believe

- we're the first team.

- Let's go, babe.

Oh, there's a team behind us.

It's the brothers.

- So this is good?

- Yeah.

- Let's get it, baby.

- It's all good.

Come on.

- Use the crosswalk, use the crosswalk.

- There's the crosswalk.

Parking, Parking. Right here,

right here, right here.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

- Ooh, there's two cars in front of us.

- All right, let's go, let's go.

All right, let's do it.

Okay, now, yeah.

- Got the clue. Here.

- Oh, you got it.

There it is.

All right, Roadblock, baby.

This Roadblock will immediately

put teams to the test

as they precariously balance

high above the city

on a thin tightrope.

Once they've made

a successful crossing,

they must unscramble these

letters into three words

the name

of their next destination.

When they do,

they'll receive a clue

from last season's winners,

Derek and Claire.

That's correct.

There are two flights available.

Tickets are first come,

first serve.

The first six teams

to arrive at the airport

will get

a 90-minute head start.

I'll do it.

- Greg is gonna do it.

- I'll do it.

- You. For sure, you.

- I'll do it.

- Come on, Andrea!

- I'm right behind you.

Oh, pick a number. Three.

Okay.

Yeah.

- Roadblock.

- Roadblock. Oh.

- That sound high. You do it.

- I can I'll do it.

- I'll do it.

- Okay.

My foot right there?

Oh, I'm fine with heights.

It's just the unscrambling part

that I'm a little shaky about.

I'm a little nervous,

but also so excited.

Let's do it.

I decided

to do the first Roadblock,

just 'cause I was feeling amped.

I was feeling ready.

We've tested this thing?

- Oh, yes.

- Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

All right, baby.

I am not looking down.

Your boy is not looking down.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Just get across, baby.

Okay. This is crazy.

Mm-hmm. This is cake.

I would never have signed up

to do something like that

in my wildest dreams.

Stay the course.

I liked having

someone in my head

telling me, like,

"It's gonna be over soon."

So I just talked

to myself the entire time.

Focus.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

We are up here.

Yep.

All the way to you.

Go, Andrea!

Better Andrea than me.

You did good.

Yes.

Where do I go

for the scrambled word?

I don't see any other teams.

I feel like we're not going in

the right direction right now.

Like, can I

get a sign for downtown?

Feel like

we should have gone that way.

I just don't want

to get on the highway.

Oh, God. Are we getting

back on the highway?

Come on.

I really hope other people

don't know how to get there.

Right here.

Roadblock.

"Who Wants to be Above It All?"

- You? - Yeah.

- Me.

Oh, I rip it.

- I'll do it.

- I do.

Okay. I'll do it.

Get in the right lane. Oh, wait.

Just kidding.

Left is a one-way.

Iliana, if we're the last ones,

I'm gonna have a heart attack.

Hi. Can you do me a favor?

Can you look up Biltmore Hotel

in your phone, please?

B-I-L-T.

What's it say?

How far are we?

- 1.2 miles.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Oh, my God.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

"Of."

Um, okay.

So, I'm going "of," uh

I was the first one

to arrive at the billboard.

And I got there,

I looked up at it,

and the adrenaline

and the excitement

it was so much

to take in at the same time.

"Lost."

Your mind goes blank.

And I was just trying to focus

on what the phrase was.

Uh

Um F F

"Face."

"Face."

No.

"On."

Come on, come on, come on.

Roadblock.

Rock, paper, scissors, sh**t.

- Get it.

- It's gonna be me. Let's do it.

Green. Smithe, run.

- "Who Wants to be Above It All?"

- You or me?

- I will.

- Anna Leigh.

- Let's go.

- All right.

"Who Wants to be Above It All?"

I do.

I want to be above.

I'm gonna be above it all.

Let's go. I am ready.

Let's go, babe!

Aah!

Yeah!

You look good!

One foot.

Focus.

Yeah.

Don't stop!

Slow and steady. We'll take it.

There you go, babe! Keep going!

Let's do the dang thing.

Okay, that's just

a little awkward, huh?

Can I go?

Go, go!

She's cruising.

- Uh-huh.

- She's a spider monkey.

Oh, my

Yeah.

She's k*lling it.

Come on, Chels.

Anna Leigh, let's go, girl!

Come on, Chels.

She's been climbing stuff

her whole life.

I do a good amount

of word searches,

and so first thing I always do

is look to see

the number of letters.

I saw four, two, six.

And it was the "of."

I knew it was gonna be

something "of" something.

Got it.

Yeah, yeah.

I love the movie La La Land.

And so I was like,

"Oh, maybe it's gonna be like,

'City of Stars.'"

I was pretty confident on it.

And then

when I did a second check,

there was some letter

in "stars" that wasn't there.

- All right.

- So I was like, "Okay, well,"

"it couldn't be 'stars, '

but I'm sure

it's 'city of' something,

'cause that's just too perfect."

- Hey!

- Hey!

I was just thinking about it.

It would be so sick

to meet you guys.

You guys are

so much taller than I thought.

-Okay

-Okay, okay, okay. All right. "City of Angels."

Unfortunately, man

- here's your clue!

- Let's go!

Let's go!

So go down these stairs

to your partner.

You can open it.

- Good luck, man.

- All right.

Good luck.

Ah. Let's get it, baby.

All day.

Thanks. Thanks.

"Race to LAX and fly

to the other City of Angels,

- "Bangkok, Thailand."

- Bangkok, Thailand.

- There's the clue box.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Open it. Just open it.

Roadblock.

"Who Wants to be Above It All?"

- Do you want to do it, or

- Do you want me to do it?

- I-I can do it. Or Just pick.

- It's up to you.

- You pick.

- I don't care.

Think it's maybe

I don't know.

- Do you want me to do it?

- It's up to you.

I don't care.

Um

Do you think it's upper body?

- I'll do it.

- Okay.

- There's Morgan.

- You're doing great, Morgan!

You got this.

You got this.

Little stressed.

I'm not gonna lie,

I'm kind of scared of heights.

So I did good?

All right.

There you go. 50%.

Come on, man. Come on, man.

You got this, Liam!

Come on, Liam.

Let's go, Strasser!

Almost there, big dog.

And we're here.

Yes, sir!

"Frosty"? F-R-O-S-T-Y?

There's no "R."

There's no "R." There's no "R."

There's no "R." Okay. All right.

- Okay. So let's help each other.

- Yes.

- All right. Yeah.

- Yeah, let's do it.

'Cause, listen,

if we get this right,

we're all on the first flight.

- Yeah, exactly.

- Yeah, we're all on together.

- Yeah.

- Yes.

Something "is"

Or maybe "no."

Thinking "cold."

- I don't know.

- There's no "D."

It could be "on," "is."

Or "on" or, uh

Good job.

Is it "city of angels"?

That is correct.

Good job.

Come on.

Come on, Mom.

Son of a

"Who Wants to be Above It All?"

I'll do it.

It's like, a nice breeze,

at least.

Make sure I'm hooked up.

I'm with my mother,

so she'll k*ll you.

Amazing job, Sheridan!

That's not my daughter, is it?

Oh, that's pretty far.

You still waiting

for your person?

Yeah, to come down.

Must be a tough puzzle.

Where is Joe?

What in the world

is taking so long?

Starting to go delirious

a little bit.

I know, I know.

I was keeping my cool,

but then I started

losing my patience when

it was all of us.

It was 11 teams up there

trying to solve this,

and no one had a clue.

I need to figure this out.

It's imperative

to get on that first flight.

"Goes in safely"?

That's not it.

Is it, uh, "fling to safety"?

Not correct.

"Cast on flying"?

- Uh

- No.

- We are completely

- No, this is hard.

This is hard.

This is really hard.

Think we'll be here forever.

Literally.

I was just about to say that.

Go, go, go.

- What'd she get?

- I don't know.

What's so what's left

after "city of"?

Is that it? "City of"?

What are you thinking?

- Okay.

- All right.

"City of Angels."

- Wait, hold on.

- I think you're right.

Yes!

- Here you go, man.

- Thank you. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Something in me said, "Go look

at those letters one more time."

Does 'angels' even work?"

"City of Angels."

- What do you got for us?

- "City of Angels," baby.

- That's correct. Good job.

- Yes! Yes.

- "G." What?

- I think I got it. I got it.

If I can get front,

I'll-I'll tell you.

- Yeah.

- All right.

Can I get front? Is that a deal?

- Yeah.

- All right.

Everyone lined up to answer,

and I'm sitting there,

six people deep in that line,

knowing the answer.

But if I make a deal

with everybody, right?

I could jump the line.

"City of Angels."

- -Yes. Yes.

- We are in the "City of Angels."

- "City of Angels."

- Yes. There you go, man.

All right, thank you.

Thank you, guys.

"City of Angels."

That's correct.

"City of Angels."

- Just give it to him.

- Guess you can have this.

- Yeah.

- Thank you, guys. Thank you.

- Yeah. Head on down the stairs.

- You're gonna head this way.

- I will go that way.

- For sure.

"Check in at the marked ticket

counter for China Airlines."

- Hey. What's up, baby?

- Let's go.

Oh, man, I'm psyched.

He's been taking, uh,

sign language at Google.

Yeah, but I have

not practiced at all.

Only Internet. That's it.

- Pretty good.

- Yeah?

I'm a software engineer

at an AI company.

And I'm a product manager.

- I'm the younger brother.

- I'm the older.

Spent 18 years

living in the same room,

- same bunk bed.

- Sleeping in the same bunk bed.

- Even when we go back home, we sleep in the same bunk beds.

- Yeah.

So, Johnny,

kind of all growing up,

he was the person

that I always looked up to.

I always wanted to do

what Johnny was doing.

But over the time

of our relationship,

I've just seen

him grow more from, like,

a younger brother

to really just, like, a peer.

And I think that is just gonna

be escalated on the race.

Every time we see someone

with the race, we're like,

"Oh, thank God we did it right.

We didn't mess up yet."

We're debating whether

to go east or west on 10.

I don't even know

if we should be getting on 10.

What do you think, babe?

Joe, you are the navigator.

I know, but I actually

don't know the answer,

so now it's collaborative.

Right?

Right there. China Airlines,

down at the end. Go, go, go.

Hey!

Yeah!

- Good job. Hopefully we're on the first flight.

- I know.

Come on. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Let's go. Run, run, run.

- Whew.

- Good job, guys. Good job.

There it is. Go, go, go, go.

Hey! Top five!

We are so far away, Joe.

- I know.

- Fatal error.

If we can't figure it out here,

I have not a ton of confidence

that we're gonna

be able to, like,

get it together in Thailand.

Hey, y'all.

- Hi guys.

- Number six.

Oh, so we don't know

how many they have.

- Right.

- No.

Okay, but we're number six.

We could be in.

Look, flag. Smithe, flag.

Hey!

- Is this it?

- Yeah, you're in the right line.

- You're not the last.

- You're not last.

- See it?

- Yes.

Hey!

- Nice job.

- Ah

Parking spot.

- We went the right way.

- Huge. Huge.

Oh, there it.

Hey, hey!

Oh, we're probably last.

Hey!

Well, at least

we lessened our U-Turn chances.

You guys are like,

"Joe and Ian, no.

They literally couldn't

even find LAX in the U.S."

"Joe and Ian are actually.

U-turning right now

on the freeway. So"

About nine times.

- Hi, there.

- Hi.

Two tickets

to Bangkok, Thailand.

We're currently in fourth place.

It says, um, there's limited

number of, uh, -Seats.

Seats for this flight.

- So we're hoping that

- We're hoping top four, top five gets it.

- Enjoy your flight.

- Thank you, thank you. We will.

- First flight. Yeah.

- Yeah!

It's huge for us.

- We're not the tallest, the strongest, fastest.

- Definitely not the fastest.

So we're-we're

just doing our best to,

you know,

stay as far ahead as we can.

- Thank you, Nicole.

- Thank you.

Have a safe trip.

Thank you so much.

Did we make it?

Yes!

Lena.

Here it comes.

Here it comes.

There it is. There it is.

Yep. That's what I thought.

Onward.

Sold out. There we go.

We were team seven in line,

and we just had this feeling

We're heading over

to the other one now.

- Hello.

- Hello. We're headed to Bangkok.

- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

There's seven teams

on our flight, so

Seven teams

on the second flight.

We feel like

we can make up some lost ground.

Yeah. And that's

what we plan on doing

- the second we get to Thailand.

- Yeah.

First flight.

- Here we go, baby.

- Here we go. Let's do it.

Let's go. We're on our way.

We're on our way.

All teams are now

leaving the City of Angels.

After a 14-hour flight

connecting through Taipei,

they will land

in another City of Angels:

Bangkok, Thailand.

If you scan the skyline of

Bangkok, it's almost impossible

to miss this 230-foot-tall

gold statue of Buddha.

This is where teams

will pick up their first clue

here in Thailand's capital city.

Hi, how are you?

Cross, cross, babe, cross.

Uh, here.

- Name of the address

- This is the address.

Buddha statue?

- Let's go.

- Very fast.

-All right, get in the car. Let's go.

-Okay. Okay.

We got to go.

Let's go. Let's go.

He says about

an hour and a half.

Can understand

a little bit of Thai.

I speak Laotian,

which is similar to Thai.

Over the last 20 years,

we've kind of

developed this work marriage.

One of us has to be the boss.

A lot of the time,

it's more me than him,

'cause I'm always right.

I think it is hard,

because the-the lines

of husband and wife, coworker,

boss they blur.

When you come home, you don't

have a spouse to complain to.

"Can you believe

that idiot coworker I have?

- Oh, oh, no.

- It's-it's you. Sorry."

Being on the race

is going to help us rediscover

what caused us to fall in love

in the first place.

We're off to conquer the world.

Yes, girls,

we're gonna conquer the world.

Are we close?

We've seen

most of the teams pass us.

Yeah.

But it's okay,

'cause we're still top six.

I will say, Ashlie,

you are an amazing race partner.

I love you. You're my wife.

Um, the one thing

Oh, I knew it.

I knew that was coming.

- The

- I'm like, "Wait a minute. This is just too good to be true."

The one thing that

we both need to work on is

not freaking out

on things we can't control.

- Right? So

- I know. I know. You're right.

We are high school sweethearts.

We've been married for 15 years.

But I will say that there

was a period in our life

where we hit a really

rough patch in our marriage.

- And

- We almost didn't make it.

- It was pretty close.

- Yeah.

We stuck together,

got through the dark times,

and we came out

on the other side better for it.

Our marriage is not perfect

but we have just decided

that we are going to

stick together and work through,

because love is an action,

not so much a feeling.

We got to get going,

if you can, please.

- All right, let's go.

- Let's go, Lena.

Oh, my God.

That is so beautiful.

Wow.

"Travel by long-tail boat

"and then by tuktuk

to Wat Suthat.

"When you arrive,

search the temple grounds

to find your next clue."

Okay. So we got to read this.

"Here's your chance

to win the Express Pass."

The Express Pass

could be the difference

between winning and losing

The Amazing Race.

The team that wins it

can skip any task

that they don't want

to complete.

But it does come at a price

eating a plateful

of exotic fried insects.

- Let's go, let's go.

- Okay.

- Express Pass.

- On a marked vendor.

Oh, here we go.

Hi.

It's Express Pass. Oh.

Oh, fried insects.

Oh!

- Eat all of it?

- Yes.

Handed the plates over.

I was like, "Oh, yeah.

So one for both of us."

- They're like, "No, one for each of you."

- "Each of you."

Are we really eating this?

Oh, my God. This is kind of

Let's go.

Are we gonna do it, Lena?

Are we gonna do it?

Okay, ready?

- Oh, God.

- I'm scared to touch the big ones.

Oh, my God.

I see it. I see it.

Come on. Come on, Andrea.

I see it.

Yes. Yes.

- All right, it says "Route Info.

- Okay, Route and,"

- and Express Pass."

- Express Pass! We got a

Come on.

We're gonna do the Express Pass.

I just can't look at it.

I hope this tarantula is tasty.

- "Each of the must eat"

- Okay. Here's the marked vender.

- Oh.

- Oh. Uh

- Welcome to hell.

- Um

No. No.

We're not

doing the Express Pass.

- Not eating no bugs.

- Yeah, we're not eating those.

Come on.

Goodbye. See you somewhere else.

- Come on, dude.

- Morgan, I'm going.

"Here's your chance

to win the Express Pass.

"To win the Express Pass,

find the marked vender

in the garden

behind the Buddha."

Try to win the Express Pass.

Lena.

You promise these are okay?

Lena, eat it. Let's go, Lena.

You're not supportive.

Uh, Lena and I have

a very interesting relationship.

It's kind of a, uh

- Oil and water.

- Oil and water.

So, my sister is rather bossy.

She is the oldest sibling.

Old habits die hard.

Part of our growth

and part of our evolution

is how do I start

to look at Lena as

as, like, another

one of my girlfriends,

not as my little sister.

I'm a fun person.

Morgan is a fun person.

So together, we should

continue to be fun people.

- Lena, eat it.

- I know. I'm going.

I don't think

we went the right way.

"The garden behind."

Garden. Garden.

- Let's rip it open.

- Okay.

Route Info.

There's an Express Pass

in here, too.

- So we need to go find

- Let's go.

Lena, eat, please.

How bad was the tarantula?

Lena, it's fine, just

take it down. Let's go.

I know, I know, I know,

I know. Okay.

Did you eat the spider

in one bite or two bites?

- Morgan, I'm almost done!

- Lena, just eat it.

Just put it in your mouth

and chew it. Let's go.

- Lena, just eat it!

- Okay, I'm going!

- It's the same thing as what you just ate.

- I know.

- Now!

- Morgan, just shut up.

- Let's go.

- Why are you yelling?

'Cause you're taking forever.

Okay. I know.

Lena, don't look at it.

-Morgan, shut up.

-Don't look at it. Just put it in your mouth.

# #

Why are you looking

at the tarantula, Lena?

- Just eat it.

- Morgan, I'm going.

Three, two, one, go.

Kumbaya. ♪

Come on, Lena. We're about

- to do the Express Pass.

- Morgan, shut up.

- Oh, there's another team right there.

- Okay.

Let's go.

Ah

- They just did it.

- Oh, they just did it?

Let's go this way.

- Ah.

- Okay.

Amazing.

Thank you.

- Thank you, thank you, thank you

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Come on, Lena.

Did you guys

find the marked vender?

It's already taken.

The girls got it.

"Here's your chance

to win the Express Pass."

What do you want to do?

I say we bypass it.

- Beautiful.

- Wow.

Express Pass.

What?

Do you want to go for it?

Yeah. Real quick. Real quick.

So, there's

Pak Nam Alley right here.

We're right here.

Did the other team

already win the Express Pass?

You guys got it?

Hey, go crazy.

There it is.

Get a life jacket.

We're the first ones

to the boat, I guess.

- Find the marked boat.

- This is the marked boat.

Well, we didn't

get the Express Pass, but

hopefully

we're the first team in.

This is cool. I've never

been on a-a riverboat

in Bangkok before.

This is awesome.

This is one

of the sickest days of my life.

This is amazing.

Here's the life jackets.

Get it on.

Grab one, grab one, grab one.

Okay, let's go, Lena. Lena, go.

We're ready.

Enjoy your cruise, ladies.

Wow.

We did good.

- Wow. Look at that.

- That thing is huge.

This is what

makes the race amazing.

- All right, we got some other teams here.

- Yeah.

See you on the other side.

Philly Jawns is in Thailand!

- I miss being in first place.

- Me, too. What a luxury.

What a luxury.

We need to go very fast.

Thank you so much.

- Okay. You got the clue?

- Yeah.

We need to get

to Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen.

This is the big Buddha?

-Let's go, let's go

-Come on, come on. Get in the car.

We're going fast.

We're in a race.

Let's go. We're in a race.

- All right. Let's get it going.

- Let's get it going.

All right, here we go.

Let's go, let's go!

It stinks.

I did not plan

on being on the second flight.

I'm really bummed but,

at this point,

we have to just run our own race

and keep our heads down.

I have been married

for a little over two years,

almost three years.

And before that, no one

could hold a candle to my dad.

Anna Leigh was the boy

I never had.

Pull.

Everything you think

you could teach a boy.

Anna Leigh's learned out there.

We always have deer leases where

you lease land to go hunt on.

Learn to build a fire,

change a flat tire.

I think teams are gonna think

that I'm just Little Miss Texas,

but little do they know,

I come with a punch.

Dynamite comes

in small packages.

That's right.

Next stop, Buddha.

- U.S.A.

- Idaho.

I've never even been to Asia,

unless you count

Iraq or Kuwait.

We met in the Army

about 22 years ago.

We've been friends ever since.

We were both getting deployed

for an 18-month

deployment to Iraq,

- and he got hurt, ditched me.

- Yeah.

- I'm super excited to be here.

- Yeah.

There was one thing

that got me through, however,

on the Armed Forces Network

The Amazing Race was always on.

And that's where

I fell in love with it

and said,

"Someday, we're gonna do this.

We can do this together."

We've kind of had this itch

to get out there

and have an adventure.

So this is gonna be it.

Realistically,

- we're now in a race against the other six teams.

- Yeah.

That-that were

on the flight with us.

This is the first leg.

At the end of this leg,

there's gonna be an elimination.

There are 13 teams

right now, um,

and we-we don't

think it's gonna be us.

We were forced to

to grow up very young.

Our parents divorced, and

it was a pretty nasty divorce.

That event in our lives,

it caused some-some

deep scars in our family.

Mine and Liam's

relationship, specifically,

took a toll

for a really long time.

But as we spend more time

around each other,

we've developed a lot more

trust this past year.

Yeremi is just

He's really the only thing

that's just holding me together.

And keeping-keeping

my life together.

We hold each other up.

You know what I mean?

We pull strength

- and we pull support from each other every single day.

- Yep.

I'm so excited.

I'm sweating through everything.

Tuktuk?

Yes?

We're in a race,

so we need to go fast.

Oh, my gosh.

All right, Lena,

now we got actual work to do.

Thank you.

Out-of-towners. Out-of-towners.

Where are you trying to go?

You want to go down this way

and just go away from them?

I just don't want

to have to fight for tuktuks.

Well, why don't you stay

on one side of the street?

Andrea,

we got across the street.

Yeah, but we don't know

what direction we going.

- Oh, yeah, one here.

- Yeah, yeah, let's get him.

Is he a tuktuk or a taxi?

All right. We're in a race,

so we're trying to go fast.

Damn. How did they get

- get here that fast?

- They got there fast.

Fast as What was that?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- This is - The temple entrance, right?

- Yes. Yes.

There's a clue box

right over here.

- Okay.

- Okay.

This is Wat Suthat?

Thank you so much.

- Detour.

- Detour.

This traditional discipline

of Thai martial arts

uses a daab, a sword.

Originating on

the b*ttlefield centuries ago,

it has evolved

into a performance

of deadly combat maneuvers.

Teams need to learn

30 seconds of a routine.

They say that a good massage

is equivalent

to eight hours of sleep.

It's good for your mood,

your digestion,

helps you live longer.

And here in Thailand,

it's even part of Thai medicine.

Teams are gonna experience

a massage

from a professional masseuse.

Let's hope that the experience

isn't too painful,

because they have to get through

the entire routine

before they get a clue.

So, we choose to do Spa Day.

All right.

I think we're choosing Spa Day.

Keep going.

It's gonna be on the right side.

- 130.

- Okay.

-Uh, Thai massage. Thai massage.

-Okay, there it is.

"There are five pairs

of therapists.

"If no therapists are available,

you may wait

for a pair of therapists."

- We have to take off our shoes.

- Okay.

"If you stop it at any time,

"your treatment

has ended for both of you.

"You must go to end

of the line that is formed

- "when you finish."

- Okay.

Right here?

Oh, God, please, no.

That really hurt.

That really hurt.

You got it, babe.

Babe, babe, babe.

- You got it.

- Okay.

Oh, my God.

Please just don't break my back.

God.

Hey, Jocelyn, this

is easier than giving birth

to your child

on the bathroom floor, right?

Okay.

Our second child,

we actually

delivered her at home.

"I-I called 911.

They were saying, "Whoa.

Tell her not to push. Don't

let the baby come out too fast."

But I remember

telling the 911 operator,

"I can't push her back in."

Oh, my God.

I think

she's breaking my kidney.

- We are gonna do Spa Day.

- We're going to the spa.

- Hands down, Spa Day.

- Spa Day.

"Sword Play or Spa Day?"

We'll try Spa Day.

Um, let's do a Spa Day.

You want a deep tissue bod?

That hurt.

- You think so?

- And we in pain.

Let's do Sword Play

because we already sore today.

Sound like a plan?

All right, so let's do.

- Sword Play.

- Let's do Sword Play!

Oh, let's go.

All right. Oh, my God.

Hi.

Who's gonna be nice, but good?

- Ah, thank you.

- Hi. Thank you.

May we come in?

Thank you. Shoes off? All right.

- I'm Todd.

- Okay.

- Yes.

- Nice to meet you.

All right.

Yeah, all right.

Oh, that hurt. Oh, my gosh.

That really hurt.

Oh, my goodness.

Ooh. This feels nice.

Oh, that didn't.

Oh, God, please stop.

Relax, relax.

Oh. My quads don't

normally bend that way.

Oh, ho-ho-ho.

Hello.

Welcome, welcome, g*ng.

We're just

serving up pretzels. Oh.

They're gonna fit

you in a box after this, right?

Oh, ho-ho-ho. Ho-ho.

I said I wasn't a sweater,

but apparently I am.

Jocelyn, where's your smile?

You got this.

Oh, yeah. I'm not very flexible.

Oh, this feels amazing.

Let's do it.

My back doesn't bend this way.

Oh, my goodness gracious.

If you need to tap out,

tell me before.

- Definitely. Yeah.

- We could talk it through.

On the right.

-Here's the entrance right here. Proper entrance.

-Okay.

With a huge gate. Saranrom Park.

Saranrom Park.

Oh, yes.

Feels good.

Feel like I'm graduating.

You had to get these sticks

to practice with.

I thought that was fun.

Need to see in front.

Yeah, I have to see in front.

I can't see.

All right. Yeah.

Let me do, like, this side.

I'm a visual learner, so I had

to make up a word

to help me remember.

Shoulder, turn.

She looked like

she's about to sneak somebody.

So I'm like,

"Okay, here come the sneak."

And then when she,

like, scooted up,

I'm like, "Okay, scoot."

Step, sneaky, scoot up.

Nobody's here.

Nobody want

to memorize anything.

Thank you.

Let's go, guys.

This boat is long.

Do you think that's why

- they made it a long boat?

- If not, it's a good nickname.

- Ready.

- Fast, fast, fast.

They're right behind us.

Literally right behind us.

- God. How'd they catch up so darn quick?

- We are gonna have to sprint.

That the teams

right ahead of us?

- Keep them in sight.

- I know. I know.

- This is so cool.

- Trying to enjoy it!

I'm, like, so stressed.

It feels incredible.

Like, there's no one I'd rather

- do it with right now.

- It's just one of those things.

Like, we've had such

a rich friendship for so long,

but life circumstances

haven't allowed us to have

any epic

opportunities like this.

I was married for 12 years.

One day,

he wasn't feeling good,

and I talked him into going

to the doctor the next day.

And he was immediately

admitted into the hospital

and diagnosed with leukemia.

And two months to the day later,

he passed away.

Nine months after,

I found out I had a brain tumor.

Thank God

the tumor came back clean.

They were able

to get the whole thing,

but I was completely depressed.

Until one morning,

I made a resolution to myself

that I was gonna get

my health in order

so I could be there for my kids.

Part of the reason why we wanted

to come on to The Amazing Race

was hopefully

it gives someone else hope,

that just because your life

seems in such despair

doesn't mean it's over.

Get in.

- Oh, my goodness.

- Oh, yeah.

-First time in the first time in the tuktuk.

-What?

- Wat Suthat?

- Yeah.

Dad, get in. Go fast, fast.

- There they are.

- There-there's tuktuks.

Oh, duh.

This way?

-The boys' life jackets - Are still there.

- All right, perfect.

- Let's haul ass.

- Go.

- There's our life jackets, Liam.

- All right.

This is

a great opportunity for us.

We're not gonna

focus on the negatives.

- We're just happy to be here.

- We are, yeah.

Can't ever count ourselves out.

Oh, my thumb.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

I don't think elbows go there.

Not cool. Not cool.

This feels so bad.

That might

make the bugs come up.

They were just

grappling you in ways

that truly hurt your body

at some points.

It was like wrestling,

and there was no tap out.

Whatever

they wanted to do to you,

you were just, you were just

in it for the ride.

If I didn't know better,

I'd swear she's my enemy.

We got it, babe. We got it.

Bye, guys.

Bye. Good luck.

Bye.

Oh.

Thank you.

Let's go. We got massages.

Congrats, guys.

We'll see y'all there.

Enjoy the rest of your massage.

Hopefully

that tarantula stays down.

Yeah.

Here we go.

Here's the Route Info.

Please, let's go find Phil.

Route Info. Okay.

"Race to the Pit Stop."

This temple,

Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat,

on the banks

of the Chao Phraya River,

is a popular place to pray

before and after a trip

something teams can do

when they check

in here at the Pit Stop.

With no non-elimination legs,

the race will

come to an end for one team

here in Bangkok.

Got to find a taxi.

Route Info.

Over here. Over here.

Oh, over there.

Over there, yeah.

Last team to check in

will be eliminated.

Taxi. Taxi.

Oh, yeah, that hurts.

Oh.

No, sorry.

In the rules,

it said you cannot

let the masseuse,

um, stop at any point.

Once he did that, she stopped,

and now we had to reset

the entire Detour again.

Yeah, foot in my mouth.

- I will no longer talk.

- It's fine.

That's it. That's it. That's it.

Dad, get over here.

- All right. Detour.

- Detour.

- "Receive a Thai massage."

- I want a massage.

"If both of you can endure

a complete massage from"

Okay, it's gonna hurt.

Let's go over here.

Detour.

Right here.

We're doing Spa Day.

-be faster, don't you?

-Sword Play. Sword Play. We're doing

Wait, let's talk about it.

Massage. Spa Day.

Okay.

We'll-we'll

bang that out easily.

Okay. Sword Play.

We're doing Sword Play.

Okay, let's go.

Where is it?

- Thai massage.

- Yep.

- We'll try Sword Play.

- Sword Play.

I've had, like,

one massage ever,

and I

it was a gentle massage,

and I recall just telling her

to lighten it a little bit.

Uh, just the way it was worded,

I wasn't sure if we could

actually tolerate the massage.

We're gonna do

some sword fighting.

Right here, right here. Phil.

- Phil!

- We see you, Phil.

On the mat. Beautiful.

- Yes.

- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Welcome to Bangkok, Thailand.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

I see you have

tears in your eyes

and I hope

those are tears of joy,

because you are,

in fact, team number one.

Yes!

As the winners of this leg

of the race, you have won.

OneKeyCash from Expedia,

which you can use

for a trip for two

to Patagonia in Chile.

Travel experts at Expedia have

organized unique experiences

for you, including a bike tour

of the historic Punta Arenas,

a sail around

the penguin colony

and a visit to Torres del Paine,

one of the Seven Wonders

of the World.

This is so awesome.

It feels great.

Congratulations for making it

through the first leg.

- Thank you.

- Oh, my God.

Very good.

Rob and Corey,

I am pleased to tell you

you are team number two.

Let's go.

- Thank you.

- Is it?

I feel like we're gonna

run double speed after this.

Yeah, I know, right?

- You're nice and loose.

- Uh-huh.

I feel great.

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

- That was incredible.

- See you, boys.

- See y'all soon.

- Later, boys.

Enjoy.

- We shouldn't be too far, babe.

- I know.

I'm just

disappointed in myself.

Trying to be all theatrical.

Next time,

I'm just gonna shut up.

Oh, these are real swords.

- Come this way.

- Okay.

Hand together.

Out goes the wooden sticks,

- in comes the swords.

- In comes the swords.

And it was like,

"Well, wait a minute.

We didn't practice

with the sword."

This is, like,

at least ten, 15, 20 pounds

- heavier than the wooden stick.

- Right.

I'm like, "Oh, my God.

I don't want to cut myself."

So make sure when you do it,

you get your blade out, okay?

-The blade all the way out.

-Out on your shoulder. Rest it on your shoulder.

Yes, on your shoulder.

The blade out.

- Blade out.

- Blade out.

- Okay, blade out.

- Okay.

Go.

No, you not pass.

We were off just all around.

We were not

getting the movement

with the wrist,

with the sword together.

We need more practice

with the sword.

But we're not

practicing with the sword.

That's the problem. We're

practicing with the wooden.

We can't get

the feel of what direction

the blade's supposed to be,

'cause we didn't practice

- with a blade, - so we didn't know

- Right.

How it's supposed to be looking.

It's the same,

but it's different.

Let's go again.

Please hand back the sword.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- I don't know how long we should be doing this.

Huh? You want

to go do the massage?

- I think we should.

- As you see, nobody's here.

It would have took us

too long of a time

to get it with the sword,

because if he would've sent us

- back to practice - with the stick again

- Right.

It made perfectly

good sense to leave.

- We're gonna switch, um

- Because

because this

is a little too intricate.

So I didn't hesitate.

I'm like, "Okay, let's go."

That was a total waste.

"Spa Day.

Receive a Thai massage.

"If both of you

can endure a complete massage

from the therapists"

- That's painful. You know that.

- I bet you I can.

That's painful.

What are we doing, bro?

Dude, obviously Spa Day.

Bro, get me there yesterday.

All right.

Greg and John,

I am pleased to tell you

that you are team number three.

- Okay.

- Oh, wow.

Crazy.

Morgan and Lena,

you are team number four.

Amazing.

You've had a good day,

haven't you?

We got the Express Pass.

We made a promise to ourselves

when we decided

to do this race together

that we're gonna be fearless,

and we were gonna

put our money

where our mouth was.

We're really gonna give

people a run for their money.

- This has got to be it.

- Yeah. Thai massage.

-Come on, come on, come on. Come on. Dad.

-I'm here.

- Remove your shoes.

- I got it.

Hi.

Smithe, there's

already four people here.

Oh, slide.

Hello.

I knew you needed it.

Thank you.

- Oh, very good.

- Thank you.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Hello, Steve.

- Hello, Anna Leigh.

- Hi.

Well, hello.

- Here it is. Right here.

- Right there.

Everybody in here.

I'll pick you.

All right, let's go.

Oh, my gosh. You're strong.

- This gonna be brutal.

- We got to suck it up.

There we go. There you go.

Yes.

Oh, we should have

did this first.

Oh, my God.

I feel like we're going so far.

We're far.

Let's go ask somebody in here.

Does that say "sauna"?

"Thai massage"?

- That one, across the street?

- Where, where, where, where?

- Is it that?

- No. Oh, my God.

Uh, "Choose your available

pair of therapists."

- Hmm? Sure. Yeah.

- Okay.

Okay. There's

a lot of teams here, Yeremi.

- Come on, Liam. Let's go.

- Come on. Take them shoes off.

All right.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Do you know where this one is?

- Uh, the left.

- Uh-huh.

But walk or drive?

At the, at the sign.

Okay. Thank you.

Oh, look at this.

Okay, I'm looking good

in this nice traditional outfit.

- There's the sword teacher.

- Let's go.

I hope we can do this.

I'm sure we can.

- Yeah.

- No doubt. We got this.

- Like, I've never done, like, a sword activity.

- It was nice.

Get your training sword.

Okay.

Okay.

Something

Let's pick something light.

Okay. Just pick one, Sheridan.

- All right.

- We're coming in, baby.

- Yeah, I see them.

- Keep going around.

Oh, it's those boys.

Sheridan, watch. Please.

Let's do it, baby.

Come on.

Upon arriving

at the sword challenge,

we saw that another team

was there practicing,

and we quickly joined them

on the practice.

Okay.

Let's go next to them.

Yeah.

Got it.

Let's just

break it into sections.

Remember this, first position.

One.

Half and back.

And then get that done.

And then we'll

move on to the next part.

One, two, land at the ear.

And that was key.

We got this.

We're gonna beat them.

Oh, right here,

right here, right here,

right here,

right here, right here.

- God.

- Oh, my God.

Everyone's shoes are here.

- Hi.

- Hi, we're here for a massage.

Yes, currently all our masseuses

are in appointment,

but you could

wait if you would like.

There was only

five massages available at once.

We have to wait

for them all to be done.

So if we're dead last here,

-we wait for every we're gonna be last.

-We're gonna be last, period.

All I could think of,

like, we're really gonna wait

for these people

to get their massages.

See them walk out the door,

and we're in last place.

- Yeah.

- So in my mind, I'm thinking maybe we should go

do the other Detour.

This is our worst

nightmare happening right now.

- Wow.

- It's fine. It's fine.

- Hey, buddies.

- YEREMI: Hey, guys.

Oh, looks like

y'all are having fun.

Oh, God. Yep.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

I'm gonna have

a nervous breakdown right now.

I was angry. I was upset.

I was ready

to go try something else.

We still have to get there,

change, learn a sword thing.

I mean, the only hope we have

is hoping one of them gets lost.

I don't know what to do.

I feel like if we

don't do nothing, it's just

I felt like I was sitting there

- for my last place, and it was a horrible feeling.

- Yeah.

We have to decide, babe.

This sucks.

# #

# #

We have to decide, babe.

- You tell me.

- You make the decision.

You know,

we're not ones to give up,

and it wasn't

ever a thought on giving up.

I think we should wait.

We're waiting for very last.

Well, it's gonna be a waste

of time to go all the way

over there when everyone's

gonna be done here anyways.

Mom, decide.

Either come in and

we're waiting or we're going.

- We're staying.

- Okay.

Wonder if

we should have done the massage.

Are you guys leaving?

We're gonna give it a whirl.

Oh. All right.

- Go, baby.

- Let's go. Baby.

- Are you ready?

- No.

This is fine.

We'll get this.

Do they have

any snacks out here?

I'm so hungry.

Todd and Ashlie,

you're team number five.

-Yeah. Hey, it's not six. I love it.

-I'll take it, I'll take it.

My goodness.

- That was amazing.

- Done with it now.

Thank you.

Oh, my goodness.

Thank you. We got it.

- There's people leaving here.

- They're leaving?

How was it?

It was amazing and painful.

Thank you.

All right, Andrea, come on.

Oh

This is cute.

- Oh, thank you so much.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Ah, ow! God!

It was like nirvana mixed with,

like, just so much pain.

Excruciating.

All at once.

- Ooh. Thank you.

- Thank you.

Steve and Anna Leigh,

you are team number six.

Yes!

Joel and Garrett,

team number seven.

Yes.

# #

- Very good.

- Yes!

Let's go!

There you go.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Thank you, my friend.

Mm, no.

Let's try it again.

Oh, my God.

Ow!

I had two babies.

I can deal with this.

Sorry.

No.

Okay, I think

I goofed that one up.

- I did, too. I definitely

- Okay, let's do it again.

Mom, just

close your eyes and breathe.

Okay.

Ow.

No. Not yet. No.

- Hand like this almost the whole time.

- Okay. Okay.

-Except for when we do that. Then we go back to this.

-Okay. Okay.

Even if I wanted to stop,

there's no way

I'm doing this over, so

I am not stopping.

Ow.

Ow.

Not yet, but you're

better than the last time.

Let's try again.

Let's just keep trying.

Okay.

Are we done?

Yes!

Mom.

Okay, you passed.

Thank you so much.

Route Info.

on the temple grounds.

The last team to check in

will be eliminated."

Liam and Yeremi,

you are team number eight.

- Yes!

- Yes! Yes!

- Here it is.

- Oh, my God.

What are you looking behind for?

Wow.

Look at this.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Yes.

Yes. Good job.

Joe and Ian,

So we have

- Taxi!

- Mom, this one?

Put it in the phone.

All right, come on,

let's go, let's go.

I think there's

one team out there.

I think we're close.

Oh, there's a temple.

Right there, with a white top.

No.

Come on.

Don't do this to us.

Phil, don't give me that look.

Don't do this to us.

Stop. It's okay.

You're not

the last team to arrive.

- Oh, my goodness.

- You're lying.

I'm not.

You are team number 12.

You are still in this race.

I'm being totally serious

right now.

You have the best

poker face ever.

There is one more team

that has not arrived here,

- that has had a worse day.

- This is very, very humbling.

- The most humbling thing I've ever experienced in my life.

- Yes.

So proud of you. You just

got to be a little faster!

Come on.

We got to be a little faster.

Oh, there he is.

- Alexandra and Sheridan.

- Oh

I am really sorry to tell you

that you are

the last team to arrive.

And there are

- no non-elimination legs on the race.

- Yeah.

And unfortunately, you have

been eliminated from the race.

Yeah, we thought so.

- Yeah.

- Kind of knew it.

I know it was short,

but are you glad you did it?

Yes. For sure.

-Oh, absolutely. We gave it a go.

- We gave it a go. No.

- I-I have no regrets about coming here,

- giving it a try, meeting you and being part of this.

- Yeah.

I'm very disappointed,

but I'm also

really happy to have

this incredible opportunity

to go on a race that we've

watched since we were little.

And to have done it

with my sister.

And just, like,

a really special opportunity.

I think that

I feel exactly the same.

Stay tuned for scenes

from our next episode.

Next time on

The Amazing Race

teams dive deeper into Thailand,

where they look for peace

Where's the fanny pack?

We need to turn around

and go back.

and tranquility.

If I start to, like, freak out,

that's not good for anybody.

- Which way is back? Okay.

- Backwards. That way.

It's so hard not to cry.
