35x08 - A Planes, Trains and Automobiles Day

[bunniefuu]

Previously on

The Amazing Race

Eight teams raced

to Cologne, Germany.

The first self-drive

brought out strong emotions.

- Morgan, I made a wrong turn!

- Stop screaming.

I made a wrong turn.

You're gonna sit

your ass back here in a minute

and ride a little bit.

- See how it feels.

- No, 'cause then we're really gonna get lost.

Robbin and

Chelsea followed the leaders.

- We're going back the other way?

- Yeah.

We caught up to Greg

and John, which is kind of a relief.

I guess, for now,

we're just gonna follow them.

Brothers Greg

and John had a taste for victory

This was such a good move.

This is fun.

and won

their second leg in a row.

Give us the news.

You are team number one!

- Yes.

- Let's go, baby!

Best friends Joel

and Garrett had a bad day

I thought that self-driving,

we would be lost less.

Many people would have

gone insane by now.

I still got a little bit in me

before I go nuts.

but Andrea

and Malaina's was worse.

You have been eliminated

from the race.

This was amazing.

Yep, it was.

Route Info.

"Race to Ljubljana, Slovenia."

All teams will now

leave Cologne, Germany

and travel more

than 600 miles southeast

to the capital city of Sloveni,

Ljubljana

Recognized as

the greenest capital in Europe

and the tree city of the world.

This is the first time

thatThe Amazing Race

has visited

this 32-year-old country.

Throughout the race, teams will

win OneKeyCash from Expedia,

which they can use for unique,

expert-designed adventures.

Today, teams will go on

an Expedia-inspired adventure

here in Slovenia,

taking part in local

and authentic experiences

just like those found

on the Expedia app.

Slovenia.

Yo. Slovenia.

- All right, so you want to start asking someone for Teddy Travel?

- Yeah.

We're feeling pretty excited,

as long as there's not,

like, an equalizer

and we still have our lead,

we'll be amped.

We need to find out how to get

to Teddy Travel International.

Up to now, I think

we're communicating really well

and we're making

game-time decisions

in a really educated way.

We're gonna go pick up our plane

tickets and our train tickets.

Sounds like it.

There it is.

Good morning.

We're trying to get to Slovenia.

So, our flight leaves at 7:30.

Yes, it's at 7:30.

Is there anything earlier?

The only will be

you can catch is 4:00.

Now, you see here,

we have two seats left.

Yes, we'll get that.

We'll take that right now.

Yeah, we'll take that right now.

That's perfect.

Great, yeah, we'll take two.

Thank you.

"To pick up

your plane and train tickets,

travel on foot

to the following travel agency."

Teddy Travel

is what we're looking for.

This is written correctly?

- Your names?

- That is correct.

So we just

found out that there's

an earlier flight

that leaves at 4:00 p.IN.,

instead of the 7:30 flight that

everyone else is gonna take.

So we are in

a really good spot right now,

where we're on the only flight

that leaves

before everybody else.

- There it is.

- Teddy Travel.

Hey.

- Hi, guys.

- Hey.

- One receipt for you.

- Thank you.

- Off to Vienna.

- See you soon.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Yeah, the earliest flight

is this one at 7:30.

- We'll take that.

- Perfect.

Okay, last name,

then first name?

Is there any

earlier flights or no?

There are two

earlier flights you can catch,

but they are fully booked.

I'm wondering, though,

if it's the same airline,

if we can ask for standby.

- Yeah, we can.

- Okay. Thank you.

Everything is fully booked.

Yeah.

So the only thing

you can do was standby.

- Let's get to it.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

All earlier flights

are really fully, fully booked.

Just like happened last time.

The earliest flight

you can catch at 5:20

is completely fully booked.

Okay.

So we're gonna get the same

tickets as five other teams?

- Four other teams?

- Four other teams?

Yeah.

That's great news,

because we're in last place.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

All right, you want to drive?

Um, yeah, why not?

- Team number one, baby.

- Team number one.

All right. Off to Slovenia.

- Slovenia.

- Slovenia.

♪

Yesterday, we thought

things were going really poorly,

and we ended up in second place.

We're ready

for another first place finish.

Ultimately, though,

we just need to beat one team.

It just goes to show,

you never know

until you're on the map,

where you're gonna end up.

Part of me thinks that's, like,

where Dracula is Slovenia.

I'm pretty positive.

Ivan the Impaler. Yes.

What is that?

I think he's, like, the guy

that they got Dracula from.

Right?

I have no idea.

Today is a planes,

trains and automobiles day.

But we have to somehow

slow these boys down,

'cause they're just

trucking along in first

and I'm getting

kind of sick of it.

We're gonna be the first racers

to go to Slovenia

in The Amazing Race.

So we are psyched.

Being a part of the race

is fueling our competitive fire

and it's been an absolute blast.

My dad and I are trying to race

to, Frankfurt Airport

so we can try and get on standby

for the earlier flight.

The directions in Germany

have gotten me so, like,

turned around.

So last leg,

both of us had moments

where we knew where to go

or what the answer was

- but we didn't trust our gut.

- Yeah, we just

need to trust the information

we gather a little bit more.

When we get down to the top,

you know, seven teams,

there's no room for errors

like that. There's just not.

We're trying to get

to the Frankfurt Airport.

This is actually

a really beautiful drive.

What a blessing.

In my head,

I was thinking of our cousin.

Yeah, let's talk

about positive things.

Last year, Morgan and I had

the hardest year of our lives.

We had a cousin that

had a double brain aneurysm,

and she's now not as able-bodid

as she was before.

But what she

has been able to do is

she can watch TV.

It makes us so happy

to know that she's gonna see us

working on our relationship.

Even though she's not here

she's gonna

be able to experience the joy

of this whole adventure with us.

A3 goes towards Frankfurt.

On our way out of Cologne,

back to Frankfurt.

After the last leg,

when we finished

thinking that we were done,

the fact that we're still here,

we're super excited.

So we're gonna do our best

to come from behind

and move up in the race.

Most teams are gonna

be on the later flight

that we're also gonna be on.

So, knowing that,

that definitely

is much more motivation.

Gregory, this might be it.

- "Parking. Business." Yes.

- Nice. Okay.

- So this is it, up here.

- Yeah.

- Let's move.

- Here we go. Let's move.

- Sorry.

- Hey. Hi.

- Austrian Air?

- Yeah, Austrian Air.

Looking for some red.

How in the

world did they beat us here?

Were y'all

going the speed limit?

It's the Autobahn, baby.

We got to run.

Out of here.

- Okay.

- All right.

So our original flight

was leaving at 7:30.

So we are trying

to get on standby

at the 4:00 p.IN. Flight.

Looks like all four people

are on the flight. Um

No promises, 'cause things

can change quickly,

but we're keeping our fingers

crossed that we can hop on.

- Here we go.

- Okay, I'm ready to rip.

So we are going

to Vienna right now.

We have Todd and Ashlie, which

were able to get on standby,

and Rob and Corey,

who were able to get on standby.

We got on the earliest flight

possible with Greg and John.

We jumped

from fourth to top three,

and that was a great feeling

to start the leg.

♪

Let's go, boys.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

We need to get to

Ljubljana as fast as possible.

We already have

booked train tickets, reserved seats.

We are trying to find a way,

if there's a quicker route

to get there faster.

This is what we have.

This is what we have.

So both of these

are the same thing.

They both go to Wien Hbf.

- I feel like

- But this one stops at Graz,

this one stops at Salzburg.

This is the only thing that

gets us there before 8:00 a.IN.

- Right. Okay.

- Should we just see if we can just do this?

We're trying to get

into Slovenia at 1:00 a.IN.

We're gonna go to platform two.

Finally, we got something.

So the game plan

is we're stopping at Wien,

um, and then from there,

our next destination is Graz.

Graz. Five-minute layover.

And then from Graz,

we take the train to Slovenia.

And we'll get in at 12:58 a.IN.

Eight hours

ahead of the other teams,

assuming we do this correct.

It is at platform 5A.

It's-it's late.

So it was originally at 6:58.

Now it's at 7:10.

We got even more time.

So we're

going from here to Graz.

Our train is 14 minutes behind,

um, but we only have

a five-minute transfer, um,

from Graz to Ljubljana train,

and that train's on time.

So we're just

banking on the Ljubljana train

being behind as well.

This is our train.

- All right.

- If we can just make this last train.

Yep. Yep.

Then we'll see what happens.

Either we get there

- with eight hours to spare

- Either we hit a home run or we strike out.

or we did a ton of stress,

run around

and take four extra trains

for nothing.

This is literally a gamble.

- Yeah.

- Cool.

We're playing train roulette.

Come on, Chels.

Here we go.

I can't wait to see what

kind of snacks are on this plane.

Let's do it. Let's do it.

So the bottom dwellers were the blue girls

Lena and Morgan,

Robbin and Chelsea,

- us and then the mustachios.

- Mustachios.

We all know how the game runs,

but I am the one that's, like,

it's doomsday every day.

It says

we're getting in at 21:40.

No way.

So, we're now supposed

to arrive at Graz at 21:40.

And our transfer

at Graz Hauptbahnhof

is at, 21:39.

So we have a negative

one minute transfer time.

- 21:44.

- My gosh.

We're putting ourselves

at risk by doing this,

when we know that this is

very unlikely to catch back up.

The easiest route

is to just get off,

go back and just

wait till 10:00 and do that.

I'm thinking

of playing the safe route.

- I'm thinking playing the safe route, too.

- I am, too.

That's so brutal

that the one train

that's delayed is ours.

We had a huge

advantage and now it's gone.

We are just on the wrong end

of the stick today.

- So we're going

back here. -08. This is us.

Our initial train

was delayed tremendously.

There was no chance

we were gonna

be able to make

that connecting train.

So we are abandoning that idea

and we are now headed

back to our original station

in Vienna

and just going back to what

the original reservations were.

There's some

hungry teams out there.

They're gonna

be excited to see us.

♪

There's the

exit. There's a train. Look.

- It's this way. Come on, guys.

- Let's go.

This one's going

straight to Salzburg.

Let's follow them.

Okay.

We're

going straight to Salzburg.

We should be there

just after midnight.

- Salzburg? Yeah?

- Yeah.

Hey, look, it's all

the teams. Guys, every team.

Dude, we got on

an earlier train, and,

that train was, like,

15 minutes late,

and so we couldn't

catch the other train

- So we made the right decision, then.

- For real?

After squeaking by

on the last leg

- Yeah.

- now we're right back in the pack.

So we're feeling great.

Band's all together again.

Everybody got their

stuff? Got your fanny pack?

Got your two backpacks?

Got your partner?

Let's go.

Chilly.

What time is it?

This might be it.

We'll all be at the clue box

together, it looks like,

and we all are tied

for first place right now,

so I'm good.

We go across like this.

- Look at that. Look at that.

- There we go. There we go.

- Now we're talking.

- Baby.

We're on a train,

and we're heading to

heading to Slovenia.

So that's all that matters.

♪

What?

- Let's go.

- Goodness gracious.

- That was a surprise.

- That was so fast.

I don't even know

if we're going the right way.

Teams must make their

way on foot to Congress Square

to pick up their car and

drive to Lesce Sports Airfield.

Yeah, this is it. This is it.

Second floor.

- This way?

- Yep.

- Are you driving?

- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- This is it?

- Yeah.

There it is.

- We're gonna have to ask somebody.

- Yeah.

Let's ask this girl right here.

Ma'am, can you please

help us find some navigation?

We are currently,

I believe, in first place.

We Steve and Anna Leigh and us

got to the parking garage

at the same time.

- Um

- Yeah, but where do we get out of here?

This way or that way?

- This way you just go out of the garage.

- Okay.

Okay, okay.

Time to rock.

Here we go. Here we go.

- You found it?

- Yep.

Okay. Pop the trunk.

Lena.

Okay, hold on.

I got it, Morgan. Don't

I haven't, I haven't

drove in a month.

So just hold on.

This is a new experience

for us.

I don't think this is right.

This does not

look like a highway.

It doesn't?

We should not be lost right now.

We're just aimlessly

driving yet again

- because we don't read maps.

- So just 'cause you're not there yet,

I don't know

why you're freaking out.

Dad, it's not about

- I'm not trying to fight with you.

- I'm not.

- I'm just trying to get the right information.

- I understand that,

but you go one street

and you start freaking out.

- Baby, we're trying. It's hard.

- Here we go.

Communicate.

I didn't know

what to expect in Slovenia

and, so far, it's amazing.

Slovenia is beautiful, so far.

Gorgeous. Man.

- Yeah, these mountains are insane.

- It's epic.

The mountains

are just incredible.

Incredible.

"ALC Lesce" straight ahead.

♪

I see a plane.

I think we're there.

- I see a clue box, too, by the way.

- Okay.

Follow the Yes.

Those are marked.

- Is that what that is?

- It's a number.

I want to go now.

Well, we might

be able to, 'cause we're first.

- All right, let's find out.

- All right.

Okay.

- Roadblock.

- Roadblock.

"It's time

for an Expedia experience."

- "Who Wants a Bird's-Eye View?"

- Boy.

Slovenia's

diverse landscape provides

the perfect conditions

for gliding.

Combined with

the favorable weather conditions

and abundance of thermal lift,

the best pilots

can soar these skies

without a motor

for hundreds of miles.

But the best part

of gliding here,

apart from the silence,

is the view

Something teams will

experience in this Roadblock

when they soar more than

70 miles an hour over Lake Ble,

looking for a clue

made up of four numbers.

After touching down,

they must arrange them

to represent the year that

Slovenia gained independence.

When they get it right, they can

open this pilot's clipboard

to reveal their next clue.

- I want a bird's-eye view.

- All right, take it.

- Let's go.

- All right. Let's go.

"Who Wants a Bird's-Eye View?"

I'll do it.

- Have fun.

- I will.

Hello.

I'm gonna

step over on that side.

Yes, sir.

Do you wish this was you?

'Cause I wish this was me.

Yeah, I do,

but I'm stoked for my dad.

Got to find four yellow boats

and the Expedia logo.

Look at him bouncing around.

Gonna go up 2,000 feet

above Lake Bled,

and I'm looking

for some identifiers.

I don't always love planes,

I don't always love heights,

but the experiences that

I'm able to experience here,

when being forced

to experience them

have been great.

- Welcome.

- Hello.

I ran over to the glider

and I got inside of it.

And they have

a prop plane up ahead of it

that it latches on to,

and then it

just pulls it up into the sky.

So I get in and then they

sealed it up

and we were on our way.

We're leaving in first place.

About to take off.

♪

Boy. Here we go.

They're pulling up,

they're pulling up.

They're in the air.

This is amazing.

Just the scenery

was just beautiful.

We're climbing higher and

higher, and the higher we got,

the more you could

see this beautiful country.

"Due to" Aw!

"Due to height

and weight restrictions,

Ashlie must

perform this Roadblock."

- All right. John's gonna do it.

- So I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna do it.

See you, Dad.

- My gosh. That looks so cool.

- Let's go.

I am so jealous right now.

So when I got to the lake,

all of a sudden,

you hear a snap,

and that pole cable

just goes flying away,

and the plane takes off,

and pretty soon,

you're just sitting

here in the air,

all by yourself.

And there was

four boats at some spot

in the lake

that had yellow roofs

and then a number on 'em.

Come on, man, clear up.

And once

I got the binoculars focused,

I was still pretty high up,

and it was

hard to read the numbers,

but I could kind of

get two ones and two nines.

It's too shaky.

I can't hold it still.

We're fifth.

"Who Wants a Bird's-Eye View?"

- I'll do it.

- Okay.

Um, yeah, I'll do it.

Okay. Great.

Lena's gonna do it. Let's go.

So Steve

and Anna Leigh are last.

This is not

it. This is not a highway.

We're going back

into the freaking city.

- I know. I see that.

- Okay, well, pull over again.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Can you please help us?

We need to get to the highway.

We're just so behind right now.

This road right here.

Straight, straight,

straight for long.

Thank you so much.

I know we're dead last,

so we just

have to have fun with it.

- That is a tiny

- That is so cool.

- It's so small.

- That is so cool.

- You just land in the grass?

- You just land.

That was amazing.

I'm so confident that Smithe

got this in the first try.

Hello.

Boy.

"What year did

Slovenia gain its independence?"

That's gonna be rough.

Come on, Smithe.

Show me an envelope, Smithe.

Well,

I saw two ones and two nines.

Because

it's such an old country

I'll just do that.

No.

All right, let's try this again.

I guessed 1199, and I was wron.

So then I have

to go wait in line again,

because everyone

was at the Roadblock

except for Steve and Anna Leigh.

How was it?

Do you have to go again?

- Yeah.

- sh**t.

At that point,

we definitely felt the pressur.

All right, Ashlie's getting in.

She's getting in.

My gosh.

Um, the parachute

is making me nervous,

but other than that,

this seems exciting.

Oy vey.

All right, there goes Ashlie.

This is crazy.

My God.

Here we go.

We're in the air.

One coming in right now.

Think that's my dad

hitting the ground.

Rob just got

back. He's about to get tested.

See if he knows the date.

Great job.

Yes. Yeah?

Did you get it?

He must have gotten it. sh**t.

My dad's a history nerd,

and I'm very happy about it.

"Drive to

See if that works.

Yes.

This is the lake.

Yeah. There we go.

Seeing one, one, nine, nine.

All right. Good luck, boys.

Good luck, ladies. Good luck.

She got it right, it looks like.

- We got the fanny pack?

- Yep.

I was gonna have to go again.

This is so nerve-wracking.

Different kind of stress.

Who is that?

All right, Johnny.

- Yep.

I see the car. Let's go.

I know what

I'm doing this time. Yeah.

Smithe's going up

for a second time right now.

He's got it this time.

As soon as

I really got the binoculars

to be clear enough

to see the numbers,

I'm not sure

whether they're nines or sixes.

And there was one more one,

and I thought that was a seven,

so it was frustrating.

This time, I

noticed the Expedia logo.

The arrow of it

was pointing to the left.

If you read those numbers

from the left, it was 1991.

I hate saying it, but I don't

want to see Steve and Anna Leigh

pull up anytime soon.

Look, those are 100%

people flying around,

looking for something.

Go us.

We're just not getting along.

We stalling out everywhere.

It was stressful.

Be positive. It's

not over till you get to that mat.

Gliding.

Where's the air conditioner?

Gonna see if she got it.

Hi.

"What year did Slovenia

gain its independence?"

Yes.

Yes!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

Let's go, Lena!

Hey, Anna Leigh.

Way to go, Lena.

"Drive to the Planica Nordic

Centre to find your next clue!"

- Let's go. All right.

- Okay.

Bye, my love. Be positive.

Anna Leigh,

It's beautiful.

Express Pass?

The Express Pass

was far more important

than racing

for a first place finish.

The Express Pass, if you

use it correctly, can save you

and pretty much guarantee you

a spot into a next leg.

We're thinking about

doing the Express Pass,

'cause we don't

see Todd and Ashlie.

Do you have it in you

to do 1,000 steps?

Then we come down,

and then we have to

catch back up with everything.

I think if I don't see them,

I think it's worth it.

Okay.

Let's do it. I think we're gonna

go for the Express Pass.

The largest ski jump.

Do you know where that's at?

They're over there.

She says she thinks

it's the other one.

Okay, but we checked that one.

- Rob and Corey are there.

- I know.

We're going for it.

We're going for the Express Pass.

- We ran right past it.

- I know.

My gosh!

Do you think

you could beat them?

Do you want

to try it yes or no?

Do you think

you could beat them? Yes or no?

My God, Todd. Yes or no?

- Can you beat him?

- I don't know!

Then that's a no. Let's go.

If you're not sure,

- we can't beat 'em.

- Let's just do it.

You got to give

it everything you got.

You want to go in front of me?

Yeah, kind of. Yeah, let's go.

We're gonna get it.

Man, this climb is

it's no joke.

Such a beautiful place.

It sucks to feel last like this.

Back on the ground.

"What year did Slovenia

gain its independence?"

- That's correct.

- Got it?

Thank you.

Good job, Dad. Good job.

All right, let's go.

Here we go.

There's a clue box up there.

- Where?

- Up there.

See it up there?

Okay, I'll lock the car.

Did you get the fanny pack?

- Yup.

- Let's go.

- Want to read it?

- Sure.

"Route Info and Express Pass."

This is hard.

Want to just turn around?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Todd, we're the one

who missed the freaking thing.

- What's that?

- We missed it. Like

- I missed it?

- We! You and me!

They may be

Yeah, they're bailing,

they're bailing. No.

- They're bailing.

- Dude, we could do it. Rob.

Rob? I think we can beat Rob.

We would have been done.

Don't get mad.

I am mad.

- You're mad at yourself.

- Why?

'Cause you missed it.

- It was the biggest letdown of this race.

- It was

That was probably

the most crushing moment

so far in this in this race.

Where do we go now?

You need to watch the attitude,

please. They're already up.

- They're already up there?

- They're halfway.

Yeah, they're,

like, halfway there.

- Yeah.

- They got a long way to go.

You guys could beat 'em.

Yeah. Come on, come on, come on.

What does it say?

What are we doing?

"Enter Planica Nordic Centre,

circular building."

This is

the Planica Nordic Centre.

Every summer, after

the snow melts, Olympic athletes

turn this impressive-looking

parking structure

into a giant freezer

filled with snow so that Nordic

skiers can get their laps in.

After kitting up

in cross-country gear,

teams must ski to the top

before choosing a Detour.

We're not gonna beat them.

No. Okay, so let's do this.

"It's snow time."

Go, go.

Yeah, we can do this.

We can run faster.

I panic 'cause Greg

and John are fast, they're athletic.

They can pass us.

We're gonna make it. No?

- Let's bail. Let's go.

- Sorry.

It's okay. Let's go.

I don't want to waste time here.

Greg and John probably

get a quarter of the way up, bt

from the bottom,

you don't see that

there's another set

of stairs beyond it.

So if Greg and John

had kept going,

they would have passed us.

- They were too far ahead.

- Yup.

Right here.

Glad I brought a coat.

It's nice

and cold in here, baby.

"Ashlie," "Todd."

This is awesome.

We have gear

with our names on 'em.

You guys didn't go for it?

No. We probably should have.

- "Watch the demonstration on the proper way"

- A demonstration.

Watch him.

"Follow the marked path"

"Follow the marked path." Okay.

Feels good,

Robbin. Looking good, babe.

Keep your skis straight.

Learning curve on the hills.

Good job, Robbin.

Todd, how about you wait for me?

Come on, let's go! Push.

Yup.

Come on, babe.

Todd, I can't.

Waiting on you.

Woman down.

- Got it.

- Chels, you got this?

Yup.

Sorry, Gregory.

There you go. Easy.

Sorry.

Come on, Chelsea.

Come on, Chels.

- To the finish line.

- Good job.

- There you go. There you go.

- Coming into you.

-Hold my hand, hold my hand. Stop, stop, stop.

-I got it.

- All right.

- Okay.

Almost there, Chels, come on.

Detour.

You'd be hard-pressed

to scan the skyline

of Slovenia's countryside

without seeing one of these.

A hay rack. Or, as the locals

call them, kozolec.

This ingenious design

allows farmers to make hay

while the wind blows

and the sun shines.

This Detour requires teams

to collect, fluff and place

freshly-plowed hay on it.

When the farmer says

they've racked up enough hay,

they'll be handed a clue.

Approximately one in every thre

spoonfuls of food we consume

depends on pollination,

a fact that's not lost

on Slovenians,

who boast the highest number

of beekeepers per capita

in the world.

Farmers take great pride

in building colorful apiaries,

adorned with paintings

that tell a story.

This Detour requires teams

to assemble a home

for a family of bees.

Once the bees are safe and soud

in their new home,

the beekeeper

will hand them a clue.

- Okay.

- All right, we're gonna assemble a beehive.

House Work.

Take the stairs back down.

Stand up. You need to relax.

- It's not that big, it's not that hard.

- You need to relax.

- Hang Hay?

- Hang Hay.

- We're going to hang hay.

- Okay.

Here. Get one ski like this,

sideways. Turn it.

And get this other ski

like this.

- Just drive away.

- I just really

- don't want them following us.

- I know.

Where are they? Do you see 'em?

I do not. Why don't

we ask someone for directions?

Well, I'm pretty sure.

Ashlie and Todd

are gonna do Hay as well.

- I'd rather just, like, compete against them.

- Same.

So we're switching to

Field Work.

Man, what a freaking view.

This place is gorgeous.

That was a long climb.

That was tough.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- You won the Express Pass.

And that Express Pass is ours.

And I am stoked

out of my mind.

"Valid through

the end of leg ten."

- Let's do some ziplining.

- Yeah.

All right, let's go.

Good job, babe!

- Hay? The hay?

- Hay? Let's do the hay.

Okay, sit down.

Ready?

- Yup.

- Three, two, one.

My dad's having one heck

of a day. Went up in a glider,

and now he gets to do this.

Yeah.

My gosh!

It is the coolest thing

I've ever experienced.

This has been

my favorite moment of the race.

Express Pass, baby.

-That was so worth it. Let's go.

-Okay.

Dude, Let's work like

we've never worked before.

Girls are behind us.

Hey there.

- Hello.

- So this is the demonstration?

- Okay, let's watch them.

- Okay.

So they're packing it in.

Scoop, stack,

push.

Let's head over.

"Choose any available haystack."

There's one right here.

Let's get to work, Gregory.

- Let's go right here.

- Yup.

Robbin and Chelsea declared

this Detour before we did

so there is such a thing

as independent thought.

Do you want to scoop it

- and I'll shove it in?

- Sure.

Yes.

Probably not quite so much.

And then,

kind of fold it, right?

Yup, and I put it in here.

Bless you. Bless you.

Bless you. Sneezes are coming.

I've never

really been around hay.

You know, we're city people.

We're not used to this, so

But I learned pretty quickly

that hay and I don't

get along too well

because I was just sneezing

the whole time, becoming

Just thinking about

it makes me sneeze, honestly.

Yeah, right. Psychosomatic.

I have bad allergies.

There's too many teams

ahead of us.

Dude, they have

fake snow for us.

Let's go. We'll figure it out.

All right. I think

we're gonna do Field Work.

- We made it.

- Right. We're ready.

- Let's do House Working.

- House Work.

Sorry.

What are you doing?

Lena, what are you doing?

You've skied your whole life.

Lena, just give it

- I haven't skied in, like, 15 years.

- Geez.

Lena, just

put your skis together.

Yeah, there's a clue box

right there.

You got it. You got it.

"It's snow time. Cross-country

ski your way to your next clue."

Let's go.

Sorry. What are you doing?

- We're gonna do Field Work.

- We're gonna do Field Work.

Lena, come on. We only got

five minutes on them.

Let's go, Dad.

- Beekeeper, right?

- Okay. Let's do it.

Bee, yeah, okay, let's go.

Dad, we can Express Pass this.

We're gonna have to.

You're gonna

have to be patient with me.

Okay, you've

got this, Dad. You've got this.

Those are the steps.

People are climbing it.

- Okay.

- This way, Dad.

We can do this. Hey, this is our

last chance to stay in the game.

That's good. There's

a nice big bundle, Robbin.

- Moving our bodies feels good.

- It does.

We're just really hoping to see

Todd and Ashlie come

at some point.

- Yee-haw!

- Yee-haw, baby!

- Let's get it.

- All right, what's the trick?

- Labor.

- Yeah, it's just time.

Todd and Ashlie just showed up.

I have a feeling Todd and Ashlie

are gonna switch challenges.

This is hard work.

I'm not sure she has it in her.

Hey, this

is it, Dad. You got this.

Come on. Just keep going.

How much further?

Come on. I don't want

to go home, Dad. Let's go.

Dad, yes, you can.

Don't say that.

Just don't stop.

You've got this. Come on.

Rob and Corey just arrived

so, it's go time.

Do we have to fill this thing

all the way to the top?

Read your clue.

Read your clue.

Greg just gives me,

"Read your clue."

And I was like, "Yeah.

They're definitely not happy

that we have the Express Pass."

Our goal is just finish the leg

and not have

to use the Express Pass

so we can hold onto it and carry

it forward into future legs.

I'm,

I'm ready to meet the bees.

Right here, right here.

It's marked right here.

- We're supposed to park there?

- Yup.

All right, this is us.

We have a little work area

and supplies.

Okay, we got paint,

we got all the supplies.

We just need

to see the finished example.

- Is this it?

- I bet that's it.

- Okay.

- All right.

So you see what we got?

We got to paint it.

We got to put all these pictures

on it. That's fine.

- So we got to start at the bottom.

- Yeah, we got to build

- the house first.

- Yeah.

This is the bottom.

Part of the bottom.

Maybe there's two parts to it.

It's two levels.

- So this is one of the bottom levels right here.

- This

You know what?

This might just go together

without nails.

Okay, it's just a puzzle now

to put together.

- All right.

- It's like Ikea.

- It's an Ikea beehive.

- Okay, next.

You're gonna

need to go up higher

'cause you need to do it

all the way to the top.

I think that you're

better-suited for this part.

- Hey, Farmer Todd.

- Yeah. Yee-haw!

When we pulled up, we saw.

Rob and Corey, Todd and Ashlie,

Greg and John

and Chelsea and Robbin.

- You're gonna pack?

- Yup, I'm gonna pack. Let's go.

I chose for us to

go by Rob and Corey because

they were flying.

We knew we were racing them

to finish this

as quickly as possible.

It's got to be bigger.

Our goal is to see grass.

- Dang. We're doing good.

- Doing really good.

I think we're making

some really good progress.

Can we get a check?

- That went pretty quick.

- Yeah.

Looks like John and Greg

are getting checked right now.

And we're pretty close, I think.

Good job, boys.

Yeah. Okay, all right.

Rake, rake, rake.

We unfortunately

had Todd and Ashlie's

beautiful example

right next to ours.

And we, for sure,

had hay in front,

so, when we got our check,

she clearly recognized

that there was still hay

on the floor.

Check?

Yes! All right.

Looks like Todd and Ashlie just

got checked and they're done.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

All right, let's go.

"Drive to

the Neboticnik Skyscraper."

Teams will pick up

their next clue on top

of what was once the tallest

building in Yugoslavia

The Neboticnik Skyscraper.

But first, they have

to climb up this dizzying

spiral staircase,

230 feet to the top.

All right, let's go.

So we show up third, and

we are out of there first.

And so, we thought,

"Hey, let's keep this lead."

Let's bounce.

Can we get a check?

sh**t.

Pretty sturdy.

- They got it. Okay. They got it.

- All right, let's go.

-Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.

-Thank you.

Thank you.

- Good job, guys. Okay.

- See you guys there.

We passed Greg

and John in this Detour,

even after

getting the Express Pass.

So we made up incredible time.

Can we get a check?

- As soon as we get it, let's get in the car and move.

- Yup.

- Great. Thank you.

- Hey! Cool.

- Cool. Thank you.

- Thank you.

All right. Bless you.

- Robbin and Chelsea still working on it?

- Yup.

Okay, come on.

We're basically here. Come on.

Don't quit, Dad. You got it.

Do you

have the Express Pass?

Express Pass is closed.

I'm sorry.

Okay. Dad, come on.

We get to the top, for the guy

to look at us and say,

"Sorry, it's taken."

And in my mind I said, "Well,

where's the sign I didn't see?"

We just walked right past it.

We didn't see it.

All right, can we just go

as fast as we can,

I guess, to try and get down?

- -Come on, Dad.

- We should have known better.

At this point,

we're freakin' dead last.

This sucks so bad.

Come on, Dad.

Let's just enjoy this.

We're going home.

Dad, we should have known that.

- We should have known.

- Any water up here?

That was a long,

-grueling climb. That was a big mistake.

-Yeah.

- Look at that.

- This is so cool.

- Okay, ready to go?

- Yup.

Three, two, one. Fly.

I knew we were done.

My God. Beautiful.

And so, I just tried

to enjoy it and I was crying

the whole way down,

looking around, saying like,

"This is the most beautiful

country. This is unbelievable."

What an opportunity.

That was cool.

We're going home.

But at least

we're going home with a bang.

Come on, Dad!

Let's go, Dad!

Wasn't that pretty?

It was a cool moment for me.

I was sad,

but just thinking about it,

at least we got to zip-line

in Slovenia. How cool.

I don't know why we thought

there was another Express Pass.

At this point,

We just got to get to Phil.

Let's do this pile.

Our goal is to

not get eliminated today.

You got this, Chels.

Check, please?

Please, tell us we're right.

Thank you. Thank you.

Let's go.

Come on, Dad.

Our bees are gonna love

these bee houses.

Tell me

another team's here, please.

Welcome!

- Hey, guys.

- Hey, guys.

All right, finish

that up and give me it.

Y'all, we did the Express Pass.

- No!

- Did you You didn't get it, though?

Obviously not.

- Can I do this one?

- Here. How about,

will you give me these

and I'll start painting

and you can start building?

- Okay.

- Just get these out of the way

so I can grab these

and start painting.

At that point, the

reality of being dead last

- and that far behind was pretty real.

- Yeah.

But I think

we had a really good system.

Yeah, she started painting,

and I started assembling

the shed

- they put the beehives on.

- The beehive. Yeah.

I didn't realize we had to

build this house they go into.

- That's gonna be kind of tough.

- Yeah.

That's solid, girl.

Just trying

to sort the pieces out,

start looking at who goes where.

Golly, yeah.

Do you think it's

smart to start helping me or no?

- Not yet.

- Okay.

Can we get a check?

Come on. Let us pass, please.

Okay. Yeah. All right.

- Danke schoen.

- Okay. Let's get our stuff and roll, baby.

Holy moly.

Any luck?

Slow go. Slow go, girl.

- Is it going? Good.

- Yeah.

We just got

to get the decorations on.

Chicken,

which is here.

Deer is two over.

Face it towards us. Remember.

- Check.

- We need a check.

Face it: You've never seen

a better bee house than this.

I wish I had this

in my house right now.

Yes, I think

you're going to be a

Yeah!

- Good luck, guys.

- This is the last time. Goodbye.

- No! No!

- It's not. Don't even say it.

-We will see you. We will see you.

-Do not even say it.

See you soon.

You worked fast, babe. Good job.

Same. Same to you.

The boys shouldn't be

far behind Rob and Corey,

so right now, I think

we're in first.

The first exit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I'm so itchy. This sucks.

Yeah, we're just gonna

pull over real quick

so I can grab a Benadryl.

Getting Benadryl and some wipes.

I don't think

I've ever had allergies

just hit me

like a brick wall like that.

So I don't think I'm cut out

for the, the hay lifestyle.

- Smithe?

- Yes, sir.

I left our notebook

on the ground

with everything in it. You want to go get it?

- Is it worth it?

- Yeah.

We're planning on

making it to the end

and if we're gonna

make it to the end,

we need that notebook.

How's it going?

It's going

a little bit better now.

I'm getting some pieces started

where I got some support.

Hello, little bee.

All I got to do

is keep these bees dry now.

We just can't get enough.

Hello again.

We like leaving stuff places

and then having

to come back for it later.

- Well, see you later.

- See you guys.

First floor, row two.

Go straight where

the marked parking is,

straight ahead.

All right, looks like

we're the first ones here.

All right, come on.

We need to go

to the "Norte" Skyscraper.

-All right. I think I see one right there.

-Yeah.

- Park right here?

- Yeah, row two. Yup. First floor.

Ready ready to

run? Run up some stairs.

Neboticnik Skyscraper?

- This is good.

- Have stairs to climb.

Okay, here's our pictures.

You're doing it

in the same order?

Yeah, I get it. Okay.

- Okay.

- Check?

You did it. Congratulations.

Thank you so much.

Good job, Dad.

Okay.

Getting out of there.

On one check

- One check.

- Knowing that

the mustachios had

to come back and pick up

their clue they left

It gave me a little hope that

maybe we could catch up.

- Let's go.

- Come on, Dad.

I'm coming.

He said we have to go in

- from where?

- Behind the building.

Right here?

Yeah, somewhere in here. Yo!

- Hey!

- You guys find it?

Dang it.

You guys, you're not supposed to be ahead of us.

Excuse me.

The Neboticnik Skyscraper?

Five minutes?

Thank you so much.

Sir, can you help me

look up this exact address?

This has got to be

the parking underground.

- That's right.

- Okay. Thank you, sir.

We take a left here.

- A left?

- Center.

It said "center," like center

of the city to the left.

Didn't it say that to the right?

It says "Ljubljana"

over there, too.

You know, we're just

- It's a big city.

- Exactly.

Get on a A2, Lena.

To the right.

I think the directions have been

easier since this morning.

I feel like

we're on some people's heels.

I'm on a different

highway now, so I need to

Turn around

and get back on the other way,

Lena, we could do that.

I don't see any big buildings or anything.

Do? Yeah, go to the right.

You need to go back down

the other street, Lena!

You just told

me to take a right!

Yes, so you could turn around.

You didn't say that!

You just said, "The other way."

Lena, stop. Stop.

Excuse me, could you help us?

- "Parking."

- Okay.

It'll be on the right.

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you so much.

So freaking overwhelmed.

- Want me to drive?

- No.

Come on.

Is this this parking garage?

Could you show us on the map?

- Thank you so much.

- All right.

Let's just get out of here.

We just can't be last.

I think

it's up in here somewhere.

We can't be far from it.

Come on, Todd.

Good job.

There you go.

Route Info.

There's a parking spot.

Okay, we're good here.

Let's go.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Okay, let's go.

- All right.

We need to go to the skyscraper.

We have

to climb up a spiral staircase.

Ma'am, can you tell me

where this skyscraper is?

It's, um, just go straight

to the stairs

- And we'll see it?

- Yes.

- Okay. Thank you, ma'am.

- All right, thank you.

Come on. Come on, Lena.

- Here's the next clue.

- Yes.

"Find Phil on the mat.

The last team

to check will be eliminated."

- Okay, we got this.

- Cool.

Are you a sight for sore eyes.

-You're team number four. Congratulations.

-Okay. Okay.

- I accept team number four.

- We'll take that.

Yes. We'll take it.

We're excited for the next legs.

We're gonna keep moving up.

- Dad, it's right here.

- Okay. Take the elevators.

Says "spiral staircase."

Slow and steady. We're good.

It's ten floors.

Man.

- All right, let's go.

- Is this the entrance?

- It is. It is.

- Okay.

Come on,

you're here, you're here.

I'm sorry.

Dad, Dad, they're here.

Get your ass up here.

Come on, Dad.

The clue is right here.

"Find Phil on the mat."

Let's go.

It doesn't say not to.

There it is. Let's go.

We're the last one.

"Find Phil on the mat.

The last team

to check in will be eliminated."

Let's go. Go down the stairs,

and we pass them.

Right here.

Robbin and Chelsea,

you finally made it here,

and I am pleased to tell you

that you are team number five.

- Team number five.

- Okay.

- Okay. Yeah.

- All right.

- Dragon Bridge.

- Come on.

Let's do it right now,

Anna Leigh.

- Let's nail it down.

- We will. Just

Anybody know where

the Dragon Bridge is? Please?

Dragon Bridge. Quickly.

We have a team

right in front of us. Please.

- This way.

- All right, let's go.

Do you know where

Dragon Bridge is? Where?

Just straight? Just run?

Mango. Left.

Mango.

Is the Dragon Bridge this way?

Yes? Okay, come on, Lena.

- Where is Mango?

- I don't know where Mango is.

Come on, Lena.

- There it is.

- Excuse us.

Dad, let's go. Go. This is it.

All right, come

on. We have a chance.

- There he is. Come on.

- All right.

Right here. Come on.

Bleeding from your efforts.

I don't know where we are.

- Yeah. We're here.

- But

we made it to the mat, so

For that,

you should be really proud.

It was a bad day, but

it's been so fun. I mean

The good news is

you are not the last team

and you are still racing.

You are a team number six.

Congratulations.

- God.

- I don't know how that happened.

I've experienced more

in the last 30 days,

emotionally, with her

than we probably had

in the last 28 years.

You finish a leg and realize

that you got through it,

and then,

just want to

I can't control it.

No, I can't. Every time you do

that, I just can't stop crying.

- Gosh, I'm emotional.

- I am, too.

Hi, guys.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Morgan and Lena,

it was literally a footrace

to get here to the mat

and I'm very sorry to tell you

you are the last to arrive

and unfortunately, you have

been eliminated from the race.

- Thanks, Phil. Yeah.

- Thank you so much.

We wanted to spend time

with each other as sisters

and work through our differences

and work together,

and that's what we got

to do here on The Amazing Race.

So even though we didn't win,

we got something a lot better

than winning.

We got a new relationship

with each other.

And I think we did that.

After this race, Morgan and I have a lot less

excuses of, like,

why we fight with each other,

because, clearly,

we can accomplish a lot

and not fight with each other.

We've had

the most amazing experience

and not just our cousin Lauren,

but everyone will get to share

that experience with us.

It's been amazing.

Next time on

The Amazing Race

Greg and John go next-level.

I've never

been in a cave like this.

Look up, and you're like,

"I'm onThe Amazing Race."

Todd and

Ashlie take the scenic tour.

I just want you to know

what the cities look like.

Nope, you're-you're navigating.

And Rob and Corey take a dive.

This is the worst.

If you think

you have what it takes

to win
