24x01 - Back in the Saddle

[bunniefuu]

The solid gold sound of
the UCLA Bruin Marching Band

has been heard here
in California

for more than 90 years.

Today, this is the start
of an epic adventure

for 11 of the most
memorable teams

who are looking to rewrite
their "Amazing Race" history.

Jet and Cord,
brothers from Oklahoma.

Yeah!

Cord, don't hit the yak.

Oh, my gravy. Oh, my gravy.

Oh, my gravy, I can't tell ya.

The last time we did
"The Amazing Race",

I got married the day
before we took off

to go around the world.

Jet had a little girl
that was two at the time.

So, it was pretty tough
to leave home.

But coming to this race,

it's gonna be just
a little bit easier.

We're definitely back
in the saddle.

Caroline and Jennifer,

country singers from
Nashville, Tennessee.

On the last race, we were
kind of a little boy crazy.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Jim.

Do you want some thongs?
Some women's underwear?

Come in handy on
those lonely nights.

We have no boyfriends

on this race to distract us.

- Eyes on the prize.
- Eyes on the prize.

♪ We're gonna
win "The Amazing Race" ♪

Wee!

Natalie and Nadiya,

twinnies born in New York

and raised in Sri Lanka.

Nadiya and I, we're--
you know, we're really loud.

We can be obnoxious.

Natalie, concentrate!

Natalie, you're just hitting it!
Shut up!

Nadiya, watch it! Gotta watch
what the hell you're doing.

Shut up!

We were completely
a hot mess last time.

This time we're more focused
on productivity.

Yeah, shut up.
This is "Amazing Race".

Like, if you're not a hot mess,
you're not racing right.

Brendon and Rachel,

recently married from
Los Angeles, California.

"Amazing Race" is supposed
to be fun and good.

Damn you, I hate you! Take it!

I wanted to go on
a trip around the world

with my best friend.

On the last race,
Brendon and I made it

all the way to final leg,
but we really lost track

of what it is to work together.

Now, we're married,
so, obviously,

we're gonna
be fighting way less.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Jessica and John,

recently engaged from
Huntington Beach, California.

Jessica and John, I think you
might be the first team

ever in "Amazing Race" history
who has been eliminated

with an Express Pass on the mat.

I don't need a million dollars.

Oy vey.

Um, that was dumb.

This time around, there will
not be an "oy vey" moment.

Flight Time and Big Easy,

teammates on the Harlem
Globetrotters.

Uh-huh!

He hasn't
lost a game in 15 years,

I haven't lost a game
in nine years.

The only thing we have lost
is "The Amazing Race" twice.

No excuses this time.

We're older, we're wiser,
we still look good.

Dave and Connor,

father and son from
Salt Lake City, Utah.

Oh. I just ruptured my Achilles.

It's an amazing experience,

but unfortunately for us,
it's come to an end.

It was a little bittersweet
because we were winning legs

on one leg.

We're gonna show 'em what an
old man and a young kid can do.

Joey and Meghan,

YouTube sensations from
Los Angeles, California.

Hallelujah, raise the roof!
Raise the roof!

Raise it, raise it, raise it!

Oh, no!

When we did the race
the first time,

combined we had half
a million subscribers.

Now, it's like, three million.

It was really exciting
seeing all of our fans

just so excited for us
every single leg of the race

that we were on, that we wanna
definitely make them proud

and make it to the very end.

Leo and Jamal,

cousins from Southern
California.

In our last season, Jamal and I,

we were being
sneaky and conniving.

But you guys, you turned
the beards though, right?

No.

We didn't even see them.

- You wanna lie to them?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We've been here for two hours,

so, I don't know,
maybe you guys are gonna lose.

The last season Jamal and I
were targeted quite a bit.

But I think this time around,
it's gonna take a lot more.

The creativity is
gonna up a notch.

We are the Afghanimals
and we haven't been fed yet.

We haven't been fed

with our million dollars.

Margie and Luke,

mother and son from Colorado.

Don't give up!

I don't know, I don't know.

I'm really nervous
about running the race.

Um, I've five years older
than I was the first time.

Bopper and Mark,

lifelong friends from
Clay County, Kentucky.

Oh!

Whoo, baby!

Hey, baby!

Never give up on Kentucky, baby.

This is the second opportunity
for life-changing money

for us to help our families.

We're gonna ride together,
we're gonna die together.

Nice to see familiar faces.

Now, before we get started,

I do have an
important announcement.

Last night, one of our racers
had to make an emergency visit

with our race doctor.

- A little tender here?
- Yeah, tender.

- All up in here?
- Yeah, right there.

I took a pancreas attack
the day before

I come to-- to be on the race.

I'm waiting for him
to say, "Brother",

you fixing to hit
the race again."

Bopper,
I've just been consulting

with the race doctor,
Dr. Horowitz.

And he has informed me
that he does not think

you are healthy enough
to race around the world.

Whew.

Now, this is devastating.

I mean, this is definitely
devastating to me and my family.

You know, this is...

You have an inflamed pancreas

which can be a major, major
problem if it goes bad.

I mean, it could k*ll you.

I know this news is
devastating to you guys.

Oh, I mean, devastating
is an understatement.

I mean, I love this guy.

There is some good news.

There can't be no good news.
We can win this thing.

Mark, there is some good news.

If you wanna race,
we can find another partner

for you to race with.

You would be doing it
for Bopper.

And we will team
you up with somebody

so you'd get the opportunity to
go around the world and race.

And you still have the chance to
go and win that million dollars.

Oh, God.

You have my blessings, man.
I would not ask you

to-- to take something
from your family, man.

You can not not do it.

I'll do it, but I mean, well,
this is the hardest decision

that I've ever had to make in
my life, I'm telling you, man.

Mark on the other hand,
is fit to race.

And so, he will be taking
part with another teammate--

somebody who has
Bopper's blessing,

and somebody who will also
be representing Kentucky.

Here she is.

Welcome back, Mallory.

Howdy. Oh, my God!

I'm just so happy to be here.

I ain't never seen
nobody love the race

more than Bopper and my dad.

But um, you know, I couldn't
leave Mark at the starting line.

We're gonna make
our state proud.

In Kentucky,
you got each other's back.

I think we're gonna
be triumphant.

I will.

Mallory's a tiger,
she gonna make him young.

I couldn't have put him
in better hands.

I think they're gonna do great.

Okay, let's race.

You are about to travel

to the most populated
country on Earth--

China.

Now, if you win this leg,
you will win an Express Pass...

and a second Express Pass
that you must hand over

to another team before
the end of the fifth leg.

But I can promise you that

most of you will be
eliminated... again.

And only one team will win that
elusive one million dollars.

Now, your first destination
is Guangzhou,

which is represented by
one of the Chinese symbols

that is on those hats
over there.

See those two guys standing
on the podiums over there?

You will find that symbol hidden
on some of the band members.

If you wanna get on
that first flight to China,

find it fast and bring it to me,

band member included.

Then you can get into one of
the Ford Fusion Energies

and drive to LAX.

These hybrids can be
charged by plugging in,

so please plug in your car
before you catch your flight.

Is everybody ready?

All right, the world
is waiting for you...

again.

Good luck.

Travel safe.

Go!

Line, line,
dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.

Come on, Leo! Come on, Leo!

- Come on, come on, come on!
- Whoo!

Yeehaw!

Let's go, right here.

- Nadiya, wait, wait, wait.
- Right here, right here.

Flight, Flight, Flight,
Flight, Flight, Flight!

Is it on their cape?
I don't see it.

- Come on, Mark.
- Hey, Mallory, Mallory.

Go straight up this line
right here, right up this line.

Rach, Rach!

U-C-L-A!

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

I got one, Leo. Come on, Leo!

Come on, Leo!

Hey, Cord, is that him?
You got him?

Woo-hoo-hoo!

- Congratulations, you're on the first flight.
- Let's go, baby!

Yes!

- Let's go!
- Yes! Yes!

- Congratulations, you are on the first flight.
- Whoo!

- Thanks, Phil.
- Let's go.

That's it, come on.

Whoo!

Get in the car,
let's go, Leo! Come on!

The Afghanimals, baby!

Don't let them get the hang
of being ahead of us.

Hurry up, Leo.

Good job, man!

Everybody's always excited
to see us, I don't know why.

Congratulations,
you are on the first flight.

Whoo!

Right here, right here! Natalie!

Let's go, come with us.

Congratulations.

You are on the first flight.

- Let's go!
- Thanks, bye!

Over here!

That is correct, but you
are now on the second flight.

We're on the second flight,
John.

That sucks.

Let's go.

Let's do it, girl!

- Let's go.
- All right.

Woo-ee!

Ah, this is so exciting.

We're on our way to China!

We gotta win this.

Oh, we are, we're gonna
stay in it to win it.

Third time's a charm.

I mean, these
are all the teams, like,

that I was a fan of.

And I'm super
starstruck right now,

like, super "Amazing Race"
starstruck.

Meghan, we're on the race again!

This is so crazy to be back.

- My blood is pumping!
- Let's go, let's go!

It's good to have
this feeling again.

Is this the way we wanna go?

I think so, yeah.

I thought we had to go
towards Los Angeles.

I'm so bad with navigation.

It's really tough
traveling anywhere

with somebody that you
don't know as well,

much less like around the world.

We gotta get to really
knowing each other,

weaknesses and strengths.

Now, will you eat
nasty stuff, Mallory?

I've never tried a
food I don't like--

except for coleslaw-- I don't
really like it but I'll eat it.

You-- you said you'll
try a dress on?

Hold it, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Look for the charging stations.

Is that it? That's it.
Yeah, that's them.

- Oh, right here, right?
- Right here.

Plug the charging cord in.

Okay.

- Plug it in, Nadiya.
- I am!

Stop worrying about stupid!

No other girls are coming.
Shut up.

The Afghanimals have arrived.

And if it's possible to
upgrade us to first class...

Thank you so much. I love China.

sh**t, I left the passports.
Just kidding.

We're-- we're already leaving.

To have switched partners,

I didn't even know
his last name.

- Yeah.
- I was like, "Mark, what's your last name?"

We got communications
issues to work out,

We're glad we have
a whole flight to China.

- Exactly.
- Mm-hmm.

That's what we're both
gonna do-- whatever we gotta do

for Bopper is what
we're gonna do.

Yeah, man. Sorry, dude.

We couldn't believe Bopper.
Yeah, that was crazy.

We were-- I mean,
we were heartbroken.

This one was over there crying.

- Yeah, I was crying.
- See, I was like,

she's already
started the waterworks.

I just still-- I don't--
it just don't feel right.

It's hard to see him leave,

because he really, absolutely
loved to do this race.

It still bothers me,
and I'm on the race.

But it's just-- oh,
it's gonna k*ll me, man.

Every time we go, like--
when I get to China

and he ain't there?

That's like telling me,
somebody I can't race

with Nadiya,
I would be like, "What?"

And I'd be at home,
like, "Bitch",

you better not go nowhere."

China, here we come.

Being on the
first flight's huge,

I mean, you virtually have to
be on that first flight

if you want a chance
at winning the leg

and getting the
two Express Passes.

We're gonna have at least an
hour lead on the second flight.

We're on the second flight on
our way to Guangzhou, China.

We're with Team YouTube,
the country singers

the Globetrotters,
Luke and Margie,

Mark and Mallory
and Team Rachel.

All teams are now making

their way to Guangzhou, China.

When they land, they must
travel by taxi or metro

to Guangzhou's street
of wedding dresses,

which boasts the largest
collection of bridal gowns

in South China.

Searching among
hundreds of dress shops,

they must find one of
these three stores,

each containing a
limited number of clues.

Hey, come on, come on,
come on, come on.

- Go, go, go.
- Run!

- Taxis?
- Right here, right here, right here.

- Go to the metro.
- Follow the signs to the metro.

Every other team
went to the cabs.

You know? Okay.

Just fashion? Fashion?

- Uh...
- Which one is closer? Which one is closer?

- Saddle up, partner.
- All right.

Hey, this thing is
either gonna work out

really good or really bad.

Back to Lone Rangers again, huh?

Oh, Lone Ranger, here we go.

We definitely hope
this is the express train

to the Express Pass.
Yeah, no doubt.

I'll take two, please.

This is our stop.
Better be in the right place.

Holy cow.

Look at all the freaking
wedding dresses.

How many freaking
dress shops are in this place?

You got those three names?

Precious, Gorgeous and Silver.

English?

This way, and...?

Straight across.
Okay, thank you.

Look at the names,
Natalie, get the names.

Wedding dress...

Natalie, it's all Asian,
I can't read it.

- Yeah, this is all wedding dresses.
- I know!

Since the last
race, I got married

to a beautiful wife, Tammy.

So, I wish I could have
brought my wife.

He-- yeah, they would--
it would've been really helpful.

All right, let's get somebody
who speaks English.

Let's get out, man.

English, you speak English?

- English, anybody?
- Yes?

You know where this is?

It seemed like, okay,
there's four of us,

we're on the early flight,
how hard can this be?

- Yeah.
- Let's just work together

and find one of these
three wedding shops here.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Oh, this guy's
showing 'em one.

I love China!

- Wanna go left?
- Yeah.

We knew where we were going
and kinda had it figured out.

So, we just stuck with that.

She pointed straight across.
English?

Oh, there's the cowboys,
there's the cowboys.

Let's just get out.
Okay, we're okay.

Okay, let's go, let's roll.

Dude, let's go to
this hotel and ask.

Their "Amazing Race" flags
are right here.

Those are not
"Amazing Race" flags.

That's just Chinese flags.

Yeah, you lunatic. Shut up.

The stupid Afghanimals,
I think they're a hot mess.

- They're just worse than us.
- Yeah.

It doesn't look like
any of us will be getting

the Express Pass any time soon.

Is this arrow for us?

Stop, guys, this is not funny.

We need to hurry up.

- Cord, Cord, let's try down here.
- All right.

We were right there
where she was pointing.

But then there's little alleys.

Ask this guy.

Here?

Thank you.
This is it, this is it.

Cord, right here. Howdy.

- Hello.
- We're here.

Good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't know what that thing is.

It says "Travel by metro
to find the building"

in Guangzhou
with bubbles on top."

Measuring 1,968 feet,

Canton Tower is the tallest
tower in China

and home to the world's
highest Ferris wheel.

Teams will find their next clue

in one of the bubbles.

Let's roll. Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

Okay. Is the metro this way?

The metro, is this
the right way to go?

Is it this way?
I don't even know.

We are looking for
the metro, let's go, girl.

- Come on!
- Come on, train!

- Whoo!
- Lucky train, lucky train!

Train close, train close,
train close.

Flight Time and Big Easy made
it, Margie and Luke made it.

Mark and Mallory made it.

Here it is, John. Whoo!

Let's go, let's go!

Shut the door! Shut the door!

First train of the second plane.

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

Looks like the other
teams took off though, huh?

We're the final three, you guys.

We're on the metro
and we're the last three teams.

We're with John and Jessica
ands Joey and Meghan.

So, it's about to get crazy.
Yep.

I feel bad for
turning my back.

Don't.

This is one of 'em?

Hello, are you
Rich Forest and Beauty?

- Yes.
- You are!

- Thank you.
- Oh, thank you!

So, we're looking for bubbles.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Ooh, bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

Too close.

We're looking for the building
that has this on top of it.

Bubbles on top of it?

Okay.

If you're gonna go off
on the race by yourself,

you gotta have a little
bit of confidence.

We can just run our
own race and not worry

what everybody else is doing.

Was that group of four,
was they all running together?

Surely, they didn't run
right past the wedding shop?

- Two.
- 4-1 is in here.


That's not the name though.

It's a different street, guys.

We're on the wrong street, guys.

Go back to the main street.

- We're here?
- All right, here we go.

Bye, everybody.

- Ready, Mark?
- All day, come on, come on.

- Beautiful.
- Country boy right in the middle of China.

Keep leading us, come on!
He's got his GPS.

Ohh, pretty dresses!

So beautiful.

Go!

I'm 56 and I'm not the
fastest runner out there.

But he's holding my hand,
pulling me along.

But now, we have an agreement.

Yeah, yeah.

If I squeeze his hand,
he has to let go,

because he's going too fast.

He doesn't wanna
hurt his old mom.

Oh, my gosh!

- Keep going!
- Let's go this way.

Here it is! Here it is!

Which store? This one?

Clue, do you have a clue for us?

Okay, we got the clue!

"Travel by metro to
find the building

in Guangzhou
with bubbles on top."

Thank you, thank you!

We gotta go back to the subway.

All right, the subway
was this way, right?

- Yeah.
- Let's go.

- Will you show us the way?
- Yes.

Okay, we're rolling.

Whoo! Let's go.

You know where you're going?

- Yes.
- Okay, we'll follow you.

Since the last
time we were on the race,

John and I are now engaged.

I've never seen John,
like, so involved

in wedding stuff, so...

Here? It's closed.

- Oh, my God!
- Oh, my God, no.

Yes, come on!

No?

This is somebody's house.

Guys, we are so pathetic
right now.

Oh, my God, this is horrible.

That's where we're going?

Hopefully, we're in
the right place.

- Bubbles on the top!
- This has gotta be it right here.

Holy cow.

- Ay-yi-yi.
- Holy cow, look at that.

If you fall from this far,
that bubble ain't gonna save ya.

All right, where's the
clue gonna be?

It's gotta be
in the bubble somewhere.

Oh, man, check that out!

If you never felt like you was
on top of the world before.

What number do we get in?

How 'bout 15? Wow!

My goodness, gorgeous.

In ever direction
it's nothing by city.

I've never seen anything
like that.

Whoa, I tell you what!
Oh, your gravy.

Okay, now... a-ha-ha!

- What do you got?
- Oh-ho-ho!

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

- Oh, you son of a...
- Come on.

It said "Try again",

so we knew we had to
get in a different car.

Well, we might as well
just freaking get comfy

for a minute. Might as
well enjoy the ride, man!

The bad thing is how slow
we're going around.

This is nerve wracking.

Where in the world
is everybody else?

- Is it far?
- No.

Here, Jen, this way.

This?

This? Come on, guys.

Oh, right there.

There's the other teams.

Hey, are you all
just getting here?

- Yes!
- What the heck?

Oh, my gosh.

So, we saw the second flight.

It just, like, hit us
like a ton of bricks.

Like, how long have you been
running around in the streets

and made no progress
with these fools?

Like, are we supposed
to look inside of 'em?

- Jen?
- Yeah?

Do you know
what you're looking for?

Not a clue.

I feel like I'm a
bridesmaid or something.

I don't think this is the store.

Oh, my gosh.

I can't find my size.
Like, what is this?

White is not my color.

- Is this the right place?
- I don't think so.

This is a train wreck.
Should we just leave 'em?

We hear Caroline and Jen

take the twins away from us.

Fine with us.

This one?

- Right here, right here.
- Go, shh, shh, shh.

Here it is, Jamal.

Shh, shh, shh.
Hide it, hide it, hide it.

Go on the street,
go on the street.

Come with us,
come with us, come with us.

Just roll out?

We might wanna just get on
the next available one.

- We gotta get the clue!
- We just turn around and get on 16.

Let's just turn around
and get on the other one.

We're still first in line.
Awesome!

Let's open it.

I'm so nervous.

"Search for your next clue at
the stadium on the river below."

Right there.

- Hi!
- Hey, who we got?

- It look like Marge and Luke.
- Holy cow!

They were on the second flight.

You talk about a flip.

- Dave and Connor.
- Rachel.

They're seeing us
gain right now.

Oh, my God. This is insane.

- Look at the door.
- They'll find it.

- Look at the door.
- They still haven't found it.

Just keep your eye out for
some yellow and red stuff.

Look at the door.

Seriously? No way.

No way!

Into the bubble.

There it is. There it is.

Let's see which one
finds it first.

Look, right there! Ha-ha-ha!

Are you kidding me?

Rach, we've been in here
for, like, five minutes

and we didn't see that?

"Try again"?

We gotta go around again? sh**t!

"Search for your
next clue at the stadium

on the river below you."

"Try again", sh**t.

Oh, we have to get in
another bubble car.

- Wah wah!
- Our bubble just burst.

- We gotta find the clue.
- Mark, turn around.

Where?

- Oh, my gosh.
- "Try again".

We got on the wrong one.

- Jet, come on.
- Oh, yeah, we gotta get off this thing.

The cowboys got it.

Cowboys just got off.
Right there, what's that?

I mean, that-- that
looks like a stadium.

- That's a stadium.
- Right?

So, I guess we'll get off
and get on another one.

This is a pretty slow ride.

Oh, my God.

So frustrating.

Get it, girl!

- Guys, we've been doing this all morning.
- We've been here.

We've been down this block.
What the heck, I know!

Let's leave them, come on.

This way? He's saying this way.

Hello!

Here comes another team.
sh**t, the Afghanimals!

The Afghanimals just arrived.

"Search for your next clue
at the stadium

on the river below you."

Both sides of us are
shaking their heads,

like they have no idea.

The cowboys were in
an even number bubble.

We have to go again.
Try again.

We don't want the same one.

"Search for your next clue
at the stadium

on the river below you."

- Thank you.
- Xiexie.

- Heck yeah!
- Let's go!

We can totally win
this Express Pass!

What's in here?

No, no, no. Oh, my God.

I'm gonna take one of these
dresses and strangle myself.

We need a better plan.

- Let's just look this way.
- I think it is back here. They were blocking it.

This is it? This is...

Can we have one too?

"Find the building in
Guangzhou with bubbles on top."

Okay, so we need to go
back to the train station.

Have a good day!

Okay, you guys, I don't
feel like we have a plan.

We need help.

But this doesn't look right.

Oh, my gosh,
we're the only ones now?

Everybody else got clues?

We don't get our act together,
we're gonna get eliminated.

It's over now.
I feel like I'm in a nightmare.

We're off to a great start.

We're looking for
these three stores.

- Will you show us?
- Go, go, go, go.

I found this guy who
knew every shop.

Where was this guy hours ago?
Yeah, I know.

I'm gonna k*ll myself.

We were at that store,
Nadiya, we didn't look.

- No more, no more.
- No more?

He took us to the first shop,
all the clues were gone.

Here, this one? No more here?

The second shop,
all the clues were gone.

Here, here, here,
here, here, here, here.

- Here?
- This one!

Which one?

Do you have more for us?

- Oh, my God.
- Great job, girls, great job.

Oh, God, we love you twinnies.

The cowboys
were in which number?



Okay, 16's our bubble.
We're back!

What are y'all doing?
What's going on?

We know 16 has it.

The moment of truth.

- Okay.
- We got it. The stadium.

The Afghanistans
is right here.

Yeah, I think
they got it right.

"The stadium at
the river below you."

The river below us.
This stadium right here.

You sure?

Come on.

Here comes another team.

This view is crazy.
This is unreal.

Oh, my goodness.
John and Jessica.

- Whoa!
- Check it out!

The YouTubers.
Everybody's showing up.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Crazy.

"Search for your next
clue at the stadium..."

"on the river below you."

Okay, so we've got
the river below us.

"Try again".

Oh, my God.
We gotta ride it again.

I mean, look at all these
rivers around here.

That's it!

I just wanna
make sure to be sure.

I mean, once you get it,
you get it.

But, like, look how many
times we've been around.

You're gonna convince us both
that we ain't gonna know

whether it's right or wrong.

I think we gotta
second guess it though.

I mean, look at--
No, we don't.

I see it as plain as day.

It was right down below us,
but she don't know me that well

to believe in my decisions.

That's not gonna come
right off the bat.

We're just making sure.
I'm sorry, I'm scared

with all those
other teams behind us.

- Come on, hurry up.
- We're getting on the bubbles.

Let's go, come on. Excuse us.

Inside, please.

- How do we know?
- I think it's in every one.

"Search for your next clue at the
stadium on the river below you."

Are you sure
that's the right one?

There's no right and wrong one.

Once it closes, we can read it.

Okay, "Try again".

I told you!

Those are the ones
that are left, Natalie!

- So, why didn't you tell me?
- I told you!

I said are you sure
this is the one?

Now, we have to go
all the way around.

Natalie, you're such a fool.

Whatever, how are you supposed
to know which one it is?

You said, "Nadiya, every
single one is a right one."

Idiot.

- Road Block!
- What do you got?

It says "Who's feeling wired?"

This orange spiring stadium

hosted the opening and
closing ceremonies

of the 2010 Asian Games.

In this Road Block,
teams are required to perform

five high-wire flips
as they travel


of a stadium tower.

When the wire master has flipped
out over their performance,

he'll hand them their next clue.

Oh, that is all you.

Ay-yi-yi, you're talking about
close your eyes and flip!

Oh, no way.

You know, it's
an Express Pass leg,

so getting the Express Passes
would be huge.

Road Block. Do you want to?

Yeah, why not? Let's do it fast.

- Whoo!
- Atta boy!

- How you like me now?
- I like it!

- That was your colors.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- It matched my hair.

The yellow and the red
with the flames.

Oh, yeah?

You the demonstrator?

Flip over five times.

One, two...

You can do it, baby.
I'm proud of you!

We got company,
you better hustle!

Let's ride.


something about heights

in this town, huh?

At least you get time to say
a long prayer on the way down.

I don't like walking around
the top of towers

or anything like that.

But Jet and I have both been
put out of our comfort zones

in the race, and we
almost expect that.

Thank you.

So, even though you're


with two little bitty wires
and a sweet suit I got...

- Please.
- You just gotta do it.

You know what I mean?
There's not an option "B".

That's it?

Oh, easy!

Oh, my gravy!

Holy cow.

Get it on, little brother!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Whoo!

And action.

Ow! Ow, ow, ow!

Whoo!

- Ow, ow, ow!
- Woo-hoo-hoo!

Hey, brother, man!

I think this town likes heights.

Oh, man, I'm ready to get down!

Whoo! Hot dog, man!

Ay-yi-ya!

Not for me, man. I ride bulls.

Woo-hoo! Go, Brendon!

Hey, I do good up there.

- Good luck!
- Good job, baby.

- Get your stuff, let's go.
- Yeah, come on.

Whoo, look at this.
I even got flames.

"Make your way on foot
to the first pit stop."

Teams must now make their way

on foot to Guangzhou's
Opera House.

This futuristic building
has become a favorite

of architecture enthusiasts
around the world.

The first team to check in here
will win an Express Pass

and a second they must
hand to another team.

The last team to check in here
will be eliminated.

We're number one
if we can find this.

Oh, yeah, the world's
biggest wedgie!

Whoo!

Brachel's on fire, baby!

Wow. It's beautiful.

Bookie, Bookie! Whoo!

Bookie, you totally got this!

Whoo, that's my husband!

Ow! My husband!

I'm king of the world!

- Woo-hoo!
- Yay-yeah!

- Welcome to Guangzhou, China.
- Thank you very much, sir.

Cowboys, you're back
for a third time.

Yeah, better stop messing up.

And it's starting well,
'cause you are team number one.

- How you like that?
- Yeah!

You have an Express Pass
for you guys.

- Sweet, we need it!
- And a second Express Pass

that you must hand over...
We might not need it!

To another team before
the end of the fifth leg.

I'll take this one,
you get that one.

Thank you much, appreciate that.
Thanks, Phil.

We're running our own race,
and you win two Express Passes

for doing your own thing.

It's a good thing that
we got the Express Pass,

but I really just soon not have
to give the other one away.

I think anybody would ask me,
I'm just gonna tell 'em

I've left it up to Cord.

Don't do that.

This is taking forever.

If we had got on
the right one, Natalie, then--

Well, you wouldn't have...

- Stop blaming me for you jumping in here.
- Yeah, you can blame me

for everything, so why didn't
you tell me not to get in here?

I told you, I said are you sure?

You said yes, there's no wrong--

- I saw-- I saw that.
- You said there's no wrong one.

Looks like the twinnies
got a no.

Twinnies for sure
got in the wrong one.

They do not look happy.

They don't have a clue.

Things are getting
crazy in these bubbles.

They was on the
first plane, right?

Yeah!

This is like, the worst day.

Worst day ever.

Whoo!

- Brendon and Rachel?
- Yeah?

You're team number two.

- Yes.
- Whoo, we'll take it!

We gotta go up there?

Oh, my God.

I'm still willing to get
in there and give it 100%.

I have something to prove to all
those old women out there.

Whoo!

Whoo! We got it, Dad!

- Whoo!
- Way to go, my boy.

Oh! Oh!

Come on!

Whoo!

Two.

Oh, my God.

Five.

That's it, I'm done!
Take me down!

Whoo!

That was so cool! But I think...

That was so cool.

Whoo!

Come on, Leo.

Whoo! That's five, right?

One more!

No, that's five!

Just for fun!

Okay!

Whoo!

Let's go seven!

Whoo! Let's go eight!

Whoo! Okay, that's enough.

Dave and Connor,
you are team number three.

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

Good job, Dad.

Margie and Luke,

you are team number four.

Leo and Jamal, you are
team number five.

And we're very sexy, yeah!

- Thanks. Taxis now?
- Yes, yes.

- Those are right too.
- And 12.

All the even numbers. 12, 14.

Joey's going back again.
We're screwed.

Yeah, the YouTubers
screwed like us.

Okay, thank you.

We wanna go into theirs,
the blonds.



- Try, try again.
- Okay.

So, are we gonna take a chance
and go into, or wait for 12?

I don't know.

- That looks like a stadium.
- Yeah.

Are we gonna try to or no?

I didn't see anybody
coming off of this.

We should've been paying attention
when the teams were coming off.

We might as well wait
for a guaranteed in.

So, what, just wait


It takes so--
It's right there.

- Nadiya!
- It is right there!

They're gonna be out!

You gotta hang with
the last team.

Boy, they're freaking out.

Definitely feeling the pressure.

Make a decision.
We have this window to decide.

I don't know, Natalie!

I'm not gonna miss it.
Hurry up! Decide!

- Fine.
- Come on.

What if it's wrong, Natalie?

- Yes or no?!
- Natalie, no.

- Nadi, you aren't making a decision--
- What if it's wrong?

- Okay, then no.
- You already made the wrong decision.

You're an idiot.

Now, we're in
absolute last place.

You decide what you wanna do.

They're already halfway through.

Nadi, we should've
gotten in that one.

You're an idiot.

Now, we're just giving up
spaces for no reason.

And what if we went in there

and there was
nothing there, Natalie?

It's even numbers, Nadi!

You wanna take the risk,
take the risk.

I'm getting in four.

Come on, I'm going.

All right, flip it over
and see, please.

- Yes.
- Okay, we should have gone

on two from the first place.
Shut up.

I thought we had, like,
at least a couple teams

behind us, but now,
there's only one.

Let's go!

- They just got off.
- Yeah, and they're out.

Now, we're in absolute last.

Ready.

Whoo! What's going on?

Oh, you look terrible.

Whew, he's looking fine,
isn't he?

No, you don't have to lie now.

No, no, I know you got
your strategy going,

but don't lie.
He looks terrible.

Better me than Big Easy.
That would be a sight to see.

Ooh, I don't feel very safe.

They don't call me Flight Time for
nothing. I'm about to show you why.

Whoa!

One! Two!

Three!

Four!

Five, whoo!

Five.

Whoo!

That was a good time.

Flight Time coming down, baby.

You look like a flying turkey!

Whoo! I look great!

- Okay, come on.
- If we get eliminated...

We're not getting
eliminated today.

Come on, we gotta hustle.
Maybe we can catch 'em.

Ahh! Hi!

They're here behind us.

Mark and Mallory,
team number six.

Team number-- we'll take that.

Flight Time and Big Easy,
that would make you team number?

- Lucky seven, we'll take it.
- Better than 11.

Mark, I gotta ask you
how you're feeling.

Because everybody was feeling
for you and Bopper at the start.

We're trying
our best for Bopper.

I was feeling miserable today

because I miss the old fella,
I wish he was here with me.

But God had other plans for him.

Even though this is hard
and we feel like we have

other teammates that
we can't let down,

it's still about two people
trying to make it

around the world, and...

- We'll figure it out.
- It's gonna be great.

Jessica and John,

you are team number eight.

I'm kinda happy
that we don't have

the two Express Passes
again this race,

'cause we don't have to
worry about not using it,

or using it, or not have to
worry about it at all.

Caroline and Jennifer,
you are team number nine.

High five, sister.

- Oh, my God, Road Block.
- Road Block, you do it.

- Okay.
- We're second to last.

Twinnies are behind us.

- Decide.
- I don't care.

Decide! I'm sick of
making the decisions

and you yelling at me!
Okay, you do it.

Meghan, look, I'm a dragon!

You look like a
beautiful dragon!

I'm flying!

Come on, twinnie! Let's go!

Aah! Oh, my gosh!

Holy freaking crap,
I feel terrified.

Oh, my God!

Come on, twinnie, you gotta go!

Oh!

Whoa!

Whoo, get it!

Whoo! I did it!

Good job!

Serious wedgie.

"Warning: The last team to
check in may be eliminated."

- Okay, hurry up.
- Holy crap, okay.

Come on, twinnie.

Joey and Meghan,
you are team number ten.

- Oh, good, whew!
- We're still in it.

Ah! Oh, my God! Wedgie.

We just sucked today,
we just did terrible.

We made all the mistakes
that we said we wouldn't.

So, it feels really, really bad.

Come on, twinnie!

But Natalie and I have been
living together for 27 years.

I'm still thankful to have--
be a twin

and have Natalie
be my twin sister.

- Five!
- Whoo!

Natalie and Nadiya,

I'm sorry to tell you
that you are last.

And you have been
eliminated from the race.

I can't-- I can't even.

I can't even look at you, Phil.

The worst day to have
a bad day for us.

- Yeah.
- And it was one of our worst days ever.

We're twins, for God sakes.
We can work together so well.

And today we just tore
each other apart

- instead of, you know...
- Yeah.

Um, working together
like we should have.

But it's like,
you know, why can't we just--

- Get it together?
- Yeah, exactly.
