36x10 - The Longest Minute of Your Life

[bunniefuu]

PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on
The Amazing Race...


a race around the world...

-Go!
-Let's go, baby!

KEOGHAN:
...by land, air

and sea.

Teams faced conflict...

I don't even know what...
Ugh. I don't know even know.

KEOGHAN:
...and confusion.

This one hurts my head.

KEOGHAN: They worked
through their fears...

Oh, hell, no.

-MICHELLE: Babe!
-N-No!

KEOGHAN:
...and their tears.

KISHORI:
Karishma, you keep pushing!

KEOGHAN:
They dug deep...

Breathe. You're gonna do it.

KEOGHAN:
...and gave it their all.

[groaning]

Damn, this is high.

KEOGHAN:
But nine teams came up short.

Unfortunately,
I do have to eliminate you.

And now only four teams remain.

Superfan Cesar wanted
to live out his dream

with boyfriend Ricky.

It's happening! It's happening,

and it's The Amazing Race.

KEOGHAN: And it was everything
they hoped for.

[singing]

Winning six legs and never
placing lower than second,

the boyfriends have dominated
the competition.

Can they continue to dominate

all the way
to the $1 million prize?

We're ready to race!

KEOGHAN:
Married couple Rod and Leticia

had plenty of success early.

You are team number one!

Oh, that's what
I'm talking about.

KEOGHAN:
And along the way,

former NFL player
Rod's competitive spirit

always shined bright.

Commitment! Hard work!

KEOGHAN:
But even with some failures...

I can track where we at,
but where... right now?

Okay, so let's find out
where we are.

KEOGHAN:
...their love and confidence
never wavered.

Look at my baby running...
looking so good.

KEOGHAN:
Can their love lead them
to a win?

You are team number two.

KEOGHAN:
Juan and Shane got off
to a slow start...

-sh**t.
-We have to find
a parking spot, man.

KEOGHAN:
...and knew
they could do better.

I firmly believe that we are

a first-place team consistently

coming in the middle
of the pack.

KEOGHAN:
The m*llitary pilots

soared through the Mega Leg...

You are team number one.

-Yes!
-Let's go! Yeah.

KEOGHAN:
...and staged an epic comeback
in Barbados...

-All right, all right.
-They'll lighten up.

Everybody else is still here,
Shane. We got a chance.

SHANE:
Let's go, baby.

KEOGHAN:
...and the pilots fly across

the finish line first.

Dating couple Amber and Vinny

knew the race would put
their relationship to the test.

AMBER:
We're very stubborn, both of us,

and this is really testing us.

KEOGHAN:
But when the pressure took
its toll...

You're making this so hard.

I'm starting to get frustrated.

Stop talking to me like that.

KEOGHAN:
...the couple always

found a way to unite.

She's a badass chick.

KEOGHAN:
Will the dream team

knock out the competition

to win it all?

You have done it. You are
the fourth team to arrive.

-You'll be racing
in the next leg.
-Yes!

-KEOGHAN: Tonight...
-[whoops]

We are making a coco loco.

KEOGHAN:
...it's the final two legs,

spanning 1,400 miles
across two countries.

One of these teams
will win $1 million

andThe Amazing Race.

-Come on, Rod.
-Aah! Aah!

The most stress I've had
the entire race.

The dragon can be slayed.

Oh.

May the best team win.

KEOGHAN:
The final four teams
are now boarding a boat

penultimate leg of the race.

ROD:
Final four, baby.

Congrats on everybody
making it this far.

-LETICIA: Yes.
-Y'all are doing great.

This is what
we've been dreaming for--

to get to this final four,
hopefully down to them three

and racing for that last day
for that million dollars.

LETICIA:
We're the only
married couple left,

-so we're rooting
for marriages everywhere
-Yes.

to see if you guys can
work together, win together,

and we just want
to make our kids proud at home.

CESAR:
Being in the race--

it's been a dream of mine,
like, for so long.

Um, now it's a shared dream,

and, like, we're so close.

-RICKY: So close.
-CESAR: So close.

CESAR:
We just want to make it there,
and we want to have

a chance
to win a million dollars.

That would help us a lot.

RICKY:
Yeah, and we can start a family

and maybe invest in a house,
and we've worked

really hard for it,
and I think we deserve it.

"Dive Trip or Rum Sip?"

This is Sosúa Beach.

The shipwrecks and shallow reefs
just offshore here

make it the primary
diving destination

on the north side of the island.

In this Detour,
teams must properly assemble

four dive rigs
and then load them onto a boat.

Once the captain
gives them a thumbs up,

they'll help launch
the boat to get their next clue.

When it comes to cocktail names,

KEOGHAN: This Detour requires
teams to remember all of them.

Here at the Diversity Bar,
where everyone is welcome,

teams must take drink orders
from six of these nine

spirited pirates and then
mix things up as bartenders.

If the pirates get
exactly what they've ordered,

it's bottoms up
when teams get a clue.

-Yeah.
-Okay, we're doing Rum Sip.

-Yes.

I'm gonna
start with piña colada.

Here. Piña colada is
the last one. One pineapple.

-ROD: Did you do the club soda?
-LETICIA: Yes.

ROD: Mojito.

Yes.

Thank you.

JUAN: It's a different race now
with four as opposed to 13.

This leg, more than ever, every
single spot is gonna count.

Competition's a lot more fierce.

Can't count anybody out
at this point,

so we really got
to bring our best today.

AMBER: I feel like
it's getting really serious.

You know, we have a 25% chance
of winning a million dollars.

And it definitely adds
a lot more pressure,

and all the teams here
are very good.

We have one goal now, and
it's to win the million dollars

and-and bring it home
and give it all that we got.

Like... it's really emotional

because we've put
so much energy into it

and we've done really well,

and I don't want to see us...

I don't want to see us falter.

Let's go get another.
We need another one.

-Okay.
-Real quick.

-What are you drinking?
-Ron golpe.
-Ron golpe. Okay.

-And what-what would you like?
-Hey, Shane, I think two.

I think two to start.
Let's see how it goes.

Dude, two at a time.
Listen to me. Hey.

Just like you got an opinion,
I got mine, too, all right?

Yeah, but your opinion
isn't our choice.

Your opinion isn't our decision.

There's always
the inherent pressure

of there being four teams.

The four teams that are here
are here for a reason.

Their mistakes
are gonna be minimal.

So we have to do
the same thing on our end.

Uh, no to little mistakes,

and definitely don't let
the mistakes fester.

-See if he'll approve it now.
-Can you?

-This is piña colada.
-Yeah, it's good.

Huracán. Huracán?

-No. Make it again.

Okay. Bartender?

Yep. Good.

All right.

-50 MLs of passion fruit. Wait.
-Passion fruit.

I already put
the passion fruit in that.

See, you're not
following the directions.

Do we approve?

-Uh, Huracán.
-Huracán.

No. Remake, please.

VINNY:
I think we ended up
making that drink...

-AMBER: It was a lot.
-...three times.

it's in the wrong glass.

ROD:
So the last leg,
I did both Roadblocks

to catch us up,
and we ended up in second place.

But the only thing
that it did hurt was,

I can't do any more Roadblocks.

LETICIA:
I'm definitely a little scared

because he's the player
that comes in in the clutch.

So the fact that
it's all on me right now

is definitely
some weight to carry.

¿Dónde?
Yeah, the clue is right there.

LETICIA:
I see it, I see it, I see it.
Let us out, let us out.

CESAR:
Gracias. Holy moly.

-CESAR: Come on,
come on, come on...

Come on.

Here, here.

-Okay, Roadblock.
-Roadblock.

"Who Wants to Take a Stand?"

KEOGHAN: Windsurfing
dates back to the 1950s,

combining sailing and surfing.

The best
make it look like a breeze.

However, coordinating
the position of the sail

while balancing on a board
could put teams in deep water.

-But if they can windsurf
for just 60 seconds,
-Good job.

they'll get a clue.

No.
"Leticia must perform this."

-Okay, let's go.
-[laughs]

-Yeah, I guess me. Yeah.
-Okay. Ricky's doing it.

ROD:
Oh, man,
it's beautiful out here.

LETICIA:
Lessons?

-Yeah? Who's gonna teach me?
-[indistinct chatter]

Ven.Yeah. Come on.

RICKY:
Instructors, you ready?

-Yes.
-Okay, let's go.

Hopefully, she do a great job

and she can get us
out of this Roadblock quick,

and we can jump
in front of Cesar and Ricky.

CESAR:
I don't know about that.
We'll see what happens.

Oh, don't tell me he know
how to do this, too, man.

-Come on.
-Hey, I'm not saying anything.

Y'all can't do everything right.

I've never windsurfed.
I've never been on a surfboard.

-Think you can do it?
-Yeah.

-You want to go?
-Yeah.

It's better trying on the water

than it is
wasting time in practice.

Never in my life
have I windsurfed before.

I've never surfed.
I've only boogie-board.

So we're gonna see how this go.

I was so nervous

going into it when I realized

what we have to do,

and I have to lift this thing
out the water and hold it.

I didn't know what to expect.

-Okay.
-Yeah.

-Ready?
-Let's go. I'm ready.

It's gonna be tricky.

Uh, the other two teams
were really close behind.

They have a big chance
of catching up

if we struggle a lot in here.

-Okay?
-Okay.

ROD: Ooh!

[Leticia groaning]

-I got knocked in the head.
-ROD: The sail.

-The sail fell on her
and hit her in the head.
-Ah.

ROD:
So I thought she had a...
maybe a concussion.

So I was like, "Oh, Lord.
We starting out bad right now."

-ROD: Ooh!
-Oh. Oh.

LETICIA:
I was on that board
and I got knocked down

the first time,
it hit me in my head.

I was like, "Oh, my God."

Are you okay?

Ow.

It took me a second,
but I jumped back on.

Good job, baby.

-That's what I'm talking about.
-Great job.

I was like, "Let's go."

ROD: Let's go, baby! [whoops]

knocked in the head.

and I do exactly

and I'm like,
"Oh, we're moving."

And then, like,
this tiny gust of wind comes in,

and just completely
knocks me over.

Gonna have fun today.

Got to enjoy it, not be upset.

I think this is something
that I've learned,

actually, recently
with this whole race is,

if he's not in a good place,

then we're not gonna
be in a good place.

So I need to be that for him.

the hang of it, a little bit.

-CESAR: Taxi, Ricky.
-RICKY: Okay.

CESAR:
Come on, come on.

Go, babe, you got this!

I feel like he's been on
the board for at least a minute.

So, I don't know.

Good job, man. Awesome.

[Amber whoops]

Yes! Come on, babe!

-AMBER: Good job, babe.
-Good job!

Good job, babe. You k*lled it.

Hola, hola.

Olympus Beach. Vámonos, vámonos.

You did such a great job.

RICKY: That was...

...the most stress
I've had the entire race.

Holy cow.

They do have weaknesses.

The dragon can be slain.

Hell yeah!

ROD:
Go to this beach.

LETICIA:
Lot of dune buggies
right there.

Come on, Rod.

All right. "Make your way
to the next Pit Stop."

KEOGHAN:
Wilson's Bar
is a local secret retreat

that is only accessible
by crossing this river.

To get there,
teams will race in dune buggies

before jumping into
a tandem kayak and paddling

with everything they've got
to avoid elimination.

It is now the last Pit Stop

before teams race
to the finish line.

The final four teams
have one last sh*t

at making it
into the final three,

winning The Amazing Race

and $1 million.

"Last team will be eliminated."

[engine revving]

-We finna go see Phil, baby!
-See Phil, hello!

Go.

ROD:
Phil, we on our way, baby!

Oh, Lord. Here we go.

-Oh, I am, too.
I don't give a damn. Let's go.
-Let's go, baby.

LETICIA:
Kayak pickup, right there.

ROD:
Let's go, baby.

-Let's go. Oh.
-Oh.

We on our way to see Phil, baby!

LETICIA:
I was pretty excited
because I know we can kayak.

-Come on, Rod.
-Let's go. We got this.

So I was like,
"It's a race to the Pit Stop."

Where that little bridge is.

There's a little... Aah!

-We completely fell over.
-Flipped the kayak.

-But this strong-armed man--
-Yes.

he took one arm and
pulled that thing back around,

-and we jumped back in.
-ROD: And laid on it so she can
jump back in it to balance it.

We were supposed
to go the same side.

So we were going opposite.

We were just off.

Okay, I'm...

Okay, just go smooth.

Last team to check in
will be eliminated."

-That's gonna be sweet.
-Let's go, dude!

We're super excited
for the dune buggy.

-[whoops]
-Do it!

JUAN:
Shane let it rip,

and from that point,
it was essentially go find Phil.

Oh!

Forget about it.

[groans] I love you.

ROD:
Let's go, baby. Let's go.

Ah.

Good job.

To be back in that
number one spot today.

Told y'all we was
coming back for that spot.

LETICIA:
It felt so good.

ROD:

Ricky and Cesar's been

Roadblock.

"Who's got team spirit?"

Every city likes to think

that they have
the biggest sports fans,

but the fans here in Philly--

they think
they're a cut above the rest.

And the number one fans
for all teams are their mascots.

Nobody is more likable, sassy,

supportive or entertaining.

This Roadblock requires
one team member

to become
anAmazing Race mascot

and then run a mascot
training drill where

they must maneuver through
an obstacle course

and hit a target
with a T-shirt cannon.

If they can successfully
complete this gauntlet

with the aid of Gritty,
Phanatic or Swoop,

they'll get a clue.

RICKY:
When I saw the mascots,
I was kind of excited.

I had been the mascot

for my high school

it was Pat's Steakhouse, bro.

Pizza, pasta. Okay, all right.

Let me...
Let's go around just to be sure.

Did you click "pizza" or
did you click the steakhouse?

-I clicked "pizza."

let's go get directions.

It's Pat's Steakhouse.

JUAN:
We screwed up.

We are way further
from where we need to be.

It hit me pretty hard
because I feel like,

as the driver,
I really should have caught

that we were crossing
state lines.

It's not looking good,
but such is the race.

JUAN:
We were just rushing
and we made a mistake.

Oh...

RICKY: Okay. "One of you will
recite the lines in red,

and the other will recite
the ones in black."

-Can I do the red?
-Yeah.

Wow, this is really long.

"We hold these truths
to be self-evident,

The first line

everybody knows, you know, but

the rest of it, I was like, "Oh,
God, I don't know any of it."

"...deriving their just powers

from the consent
of the governed..."

This is gonna be really hard.

Okay.

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

-LETICIA: Right here. Okay.
-"Recite the Decl..."

LETICIA:
"One of you may recite
the lines in red.

The other one recite
the lines in black."

We see Rod and Leticia arriving,

and now,
it's just more pressure.

And I'm like, "Oh, my God.

-Like, let me just
try to get this."
-Yeah.

Okay, just put it on the floor
and let's...

-You read your part,
I'll read mine.
-Okay. Okay.

-Which one you want to do--
black or red?
-Red.

LETICIA:
Ricky and Cesar
were still there,

and they were just starting,
so we thought,

"Well, hey,
we're still neck-to-neck.

We're in the fight."

CESAR:
I'm just struggling.

English is my second language.

Like, it's been super helpful

through all the other countries,

but now, I have to,
like, switch,

and it was just, like,
so much stress,

'cause we know
we're on the final leg.

-I... I'm having trouble...
-Okay, talk it out loud.

-Get it in your body
and act it out.
-Okay.

-LETICIA: You want to try?
-Hold on.

LETICIA:
Okay.

"...laying its foundation
on the principles..."

LETICIA:
"On such principles."

ROD: "...laying its foundation
on such principles."

Come on. You got this. You got
this. Just keep reading it.

-God dang it,
this part is crazy.
-Just keep reading it.

-[Rod groans]
-Memorizing words seems to be

harder than we thought. [laughs]

I kind of got my part down,

but Rod is struggling right now
to get his part.

He's not a words guy,
but I can see

Ricky and Cesar are still here,

so they may be struggling
just as well, so...

That's a good thing
for us right now.

I don't know
where the pilot boys are,

but I hope they're lost.

Teams are about
to get a history lesson

from three
of America's historic figures.

After listening to a lecture
from each of them,

they must figure out how
to piece together

America's first official flag.

The first 13 states
must be placed top-to-bottom

in the order
they were ratified,

alongside 13 five-point stars.

Once it's ready to be run up
the flagpole...

That is correct.

KEOGHAN:
...they'll get a clue.

I'll do it.
"Properly assemble

the first flag of
the United States of America."

So should I just go in first?

This is the marked entrance.

The colonies are listed
from top to bottom

in the order in which
they became states.

The first colony to be ratified
is Delaware, of course.

Virginia is the tenth
to be ratified,

right after New Hampshire.

CESAR:
This one was a memory
challenge. It was like a puzzle.

I have to go inside the house

and start listening for clues.

On a map, North Carolina
is above South Carolina,

but on the flag, it sits four
stripes below South Carolina.

I grew up in Mexico,
so I didn't get,

like, really American story,

because I'm pretty sure, like,

-Just read it to yourself

-20 times.
-Let me walk it off.

"And to institute

laying its foundation
on such principles..."

Just take your time.

-Just take your time.
-Why's this so hard?

'cause I can't just...

-'Cause of these little
silly words.

Just take your time.
Just take your time.

Okay, I'm ready.

Let's get out of here.
We got to catch them boys.

Million dollars on the line,
anything can happen.

-SHANE: Oh.
-Oh, look it's right on Leticia.

SHANE:
Go get them!

-LETICIA: You guys got it.
-Go get 'em.

-JUAN: All right, see you guys.
-This way, this way, this way.

Hopefully, it takes them
just as long, but I don't know.

-Oh.
-You want red or black?

-I'll take red.
-Okay.

SHANE:
Oh, dude, this is gonna be tough
for me, bro.

In addition,
there are 13 stripes

on the flag
that alternate red and white.

Each stripe represents
a different colony

in the order
they are ratified into states.

CESAR:
It was a lot of information,

but, like, halfway information

'cause it wasn't
the whole order at once.

The fourth stripe on the flag
represents Georgia in the south,

followed by Connecticut
up north,

referred to
as the Constitution State.

It's-it's a lot,
and some things were just, like,

clues or hints.

North Carolina, South Carolina.

Okay. I'll be back.

I'm missing two states.

-Okay, let's try it.
-All right, let's go.

"Whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive

"to these ends,
it is the Right of the People

to alter or abolish it."

Bro, really?

Wow. Okay. Um...

[sighs]

Think I'm gonna
need another one.

Okay, that's fine. Well, sir,

-we're gonna try it again.
-Nay.

[laughs]
Thank you.

Okay, now I have six and seven.

Hopefully, I heard right.

Now I can start focusing
on the stars.

George Washington visited me

and asked for


but we ultimately settled
on my suggestion of five points.

The stars formed a circle
on the blue portion of the flag.

Thank you.

There's five, six,
and seven-pointed stars.

I need the five-point stars.

Ten, 11, 12, 13.

Five-pointed stars,


Oh, my God.

Looks like
he's finished the flag.

CESAR:
Can you check, please?

That is correct.

-RICKY: Yes!
-Yes! Yes!

-Here's your clue.
-Thank you very much!
-Route Info.

CESAR:
"Run to the Arch Street"

BOTH: "...Meeting House
to find your next clue."

Okay, let's go.

Damn, they've done it already.
Come on.

-RICKY: Excuse me.
-CESAR: Hi. Can you help us?

RICKY:
Would you mind helping us?

-We're trying
to find directions.
-You have a phone?

-We just need directions.
-Sure.

-ROD: Roadblock.
-LETICIA: I got this.

CESAR:
We're one block away.
I think we're close by.

On a map, North Carolina
is above South Carolina...

...is above South Carolina.

This first colony to be ratified
is Delaware, of course.

Delaware, of course.

The state you are standing
in now is second

and is where our Constitution
was written and signed.

[echoing]:
...and signed. And signed.

What state am I in right now?

"...form, as to them
shall seem most likely

to effect
their Safety and Happiness."

-All right.
-It is a yea.

-Oh, yes!
-And a proper hip, hip huzzah
to both of you.

Thank you so much.

SHANE: "Drive yourselves
to the Betsy Ross House

-to find your next clue."
-JUAN: All right, let's do it.

-CESAR: Marked entrance.
-There's a flag. Yes.

-On your left.
-CESAR: Come on, come on!

Clue box. Come on,
come on, come on.

"Solve a three-dimensional
Liberty Bell puzzle

-to receive your final clue."
-Oh, my God.

KEOGHAN:
In 1776,

the Liberty Bell was heard
across the city of Philadelphia,

proclaiming America's
independence from Great Britain.

Today, the bell
is a giant puzzle.

If teams can figure out
how to piece together

this treasured icon,
they'll be rewarded with a clue.

-Okay.
-Okay. "Choose a workstation."

RICKY:
It's in the big, giant boxes.

CESAR:
Go, go, go.

We have to build this 3D puzzle
of the Liberty Bell.

-RICKY: Yeah.
-Okay, here?

-Oh, my God.
-Whoa.

CESAR:
But opening up the box
was a little intimidating...

RICKY:
What?!

CESAR:
...'cause we had so many pieces.

-This is an edge.
-This is the bottom, I think.

That matches with that,
Ricky, maybe.

George Washington visited me
and asked for 13

six-pointed stars to represent
each of the original colonies.

But we ultimately settled
on my suggestion of five points.

ROD:
I'm hoping and praying that, uh,

she got this right, right now.

Uh, I don't. Don't...

It's not happening yet,
trust me.

-Roadblock.
-Okay.

JUAN:
Riddles and, like, memory stuff
is, like, that's my thing.

We still... we still
in second place right now.

Oh, here it is.

Maryland is the seventh,
just after Massachusetts.

JUAN:
You know,
we're behind right now.

We're in last place, but this
is really, really exciting.

It's honestly a privilege
to be able

to put the original
American flag together.

This is where we catch up.

Like, I was determined.

There was something
ahead of me,

and it's that seemed
to be somewhat puzzlesque.

And I said,
"If I can figure this out

with my head,
then we're golden."

ROD:
Let's get it going, baby.
You're looking good.

LETICIA:
Ugh!

RICKY:
Here's the cr*ck. Okay.

-The base is done.
-CESAR: Okay, wait.

-So now we have
to fill those spots?
-Any more three rings?

We have to fill
that spot as well.

-Oh, inside?
-Yes.

Look, we have all those,
like, little chunks,

-so maybe let's move this aside.
-Okay.

Oh, my God.
Why am I struggling so much?

General George Washington
visited me

and asked
for 13 six-pointed stars,

but I suggested five-pointed
stars for efficiency.

Ugh.

Trying to go back
to the five stars.

I thought
I had everything right, too.

Okay.

-Check?
-No.

LETICIA: I knew all the states
were correct in the order.

It's, like,
what in the world could it be?

God dog it, what is it?

JAUN:
Check. Please.

Yes. That is correct.

-I got it, Shane!
-SHANE: That's it, Juan.

-I freaking got it, dude.
Thank you so much.
-SHANE: That's it, baby.

-Here's your clue.
-Thank you.

[Shane whoops]

JUAN:
Uh, Route Info.

"Run to the Arch Street
Meeting House

-to find your next clue."
We're on Arch Street.
-Run.

We're, like,
on top of Arch Street, bro.

ROD:
Come on, baby. We got to go.

LETICIA:
It definitely was frustrating

that Juan and Shane
came in there,

and I feel like
he knocked that out so fast.

And I was like,
"How did you do that?"

ROD:
Come on, man. Come on!

If you think
you have what it takes

to win The Amazing Race,

go to cbs.com/casting
and apply now.

BETSY ROSS:
General George Washington

visited me and asked
for 13 six-pointed stars,

but we ultimately settled
on my suggestion of five points.

LETICIA:
She kept saying,
"I chose a five-point star."

And finally it dinged on me,
like, "Oh, my gosh.

"Count the points of the star,

because they're clearly
not the same."

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven.

ROD:
Come on, baby.
You got this, beautiful.

LETICIA:
Check.

LETICIA:
Come on.

-That is correct.
-ROD: Good job, babe.

-Good job, good job.
-Your clue.

Come on, come on.

-Ah.
-Oh, man.

RICKY:
We need a smaller one.

CESAR: Oh. You might
have it in your hand.

RICKY: Oh, you...

[giggles, grunts]

CESAR: Sorting everything
at the beginning

and taking the little extra time

to actually put them aside

was really helpful.

And also, we were
communicating pretty well.

Here. And then I have this one.

-And then what do we have to do?
-We have to hang it.

CESAR:
Ready to move it?

Wait, so we
have to line it up first,

-then push it through.
-Oh, got it. Okay, okay.

-One, two, three.
-You got it, then?

Careful, careful.

-RICKY: Right there.
-CESAR: Good?

-Check, please.
Check, check, check.
-Check.

How's it look?

[Cesar sighs]

Everything is in place.

Let's just see.

RICKY:
Okay. Okay.

Good job!

-Yes!
-Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And I have something for you.

-Your next clue.
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you very much.

-Good job.
-Thank you so much.

BOTH:
"Race to the finish line."

KEOGHAN:
The most famous person
to cross the Delaware River

was George Washington.

And here on the banks
of this 330-mile river

is Glen Foerd estate.

This historic home will
now serve as the finish line.

The first team
to arrive at this grand mansion

will win $1 million
andThe Amazing Race.

-Oh, my God! Ricky!
-Come on.

CESAR:
Let's go, go, go!

JUAN:
Let's go.

"Solve a Liberty Bell puzzle
to receive your final clue."

JUAN: Oh. Okay.

SHANE: Once I read
"Liberty Bell puzzle,"

I was like, "Oh, here we go.
Juan, you're up again, buddy."

-Okay. Okay.
-Look for
all these bottom pieces.

SHANE:
And then
we laid all the pieces out,

and Juan started going to work,
and-and we were rolling.

ROD:
Let's go, baby. Go in there.

SHANE: We are recreating
the Liberty Bell

out of this puzzle,

and just so happens
that Juan is good at puzzles.

As you can see,
exhibit last route marker.

Rod and Leticia are here.

JUAN:
We're good.

I think that goes there. Yeah.

So the middle isn't...
is not hollowed out.

All the pieces need to be used,

and, uh,
there's definitely inner pieces.

So I hope that trips up
Rod and Leticia a little bit.

LETICIA:
"Use all provided
parts and pieces.

"When you think you completed
it, hang it on the yoke

and ask the community leader
to check your work."

So it's kind of like Tetris.

RICKY:
We're trying
to get to Glen Foerd estate.

CESAR:
Going that way?

RICKY:
Yeah, we're going up past...

CESAR:
Ready? Ready, Ricky?
You got it? You got it, Ricky?

-We're good?
-Thank you so much.
-Good luck.

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

Let's go, Ricky.
Come on, come on.

Oh, my God.

Yeah. We need to go.
Let's do this.

The final Pit Stop says,

"Go! Go! Go!"

JUAN:
Ooh, I like that. I like that.

SHANE:
We're close.

So we need... we need
writing on the outside.

Yeah, here. It's right here.

-SHANE: Is that good?
-Sweet.

-SHANE: Here's-here's, uh...
-I feel like we're really close.

-LETICIA: Oh, man.
-Come on, come on, come on,
come on.

Dang it.
I can't figure this out neither.

There it goes.
Go ahead. Go ahead.

-This guy?
-Yeah.

JUAN:
All right, we're done. We have
to hang it on that stand.

SHANE:
All right.
Make it look pretty, Juan.

Oh, here we go.
Yeah, "land of the free."

Lift it.

Let me...

Sweet. Can we get a check?

-Good job!
-Thank you.
-Yes!

Oh, and I've got your clue.

-SHANE: Awesome.
Thank you so much.
-Hell yeah.

-Glen Foerd estate. Let's go.
-Let's go, baby.

ROD: We got to catch up.
We got to b*at 'em. Come on.

Come from the top.

[groans]

I don't know that there's
an entrance to 95 up here.

-CESAR: 95?
-Yeah.

Oh, my God. I don't know where
I put all the directions. Here.

RICKY:
I don't know
how to get on to 95.

CESAR:
I feel really nervous

-and I feel like
you're getting the pressure.
-I am.

It's really frustrating
because I know the area.

CESAR:
That's when
we can make mistakes.

Here. There's
a hotel right straight.

Let's get them
printing a direction.

RICKY:
I just... [groans]

So, we're on our way to
the last Pit Stop of the race.

So we're feeling pretty good.

Don't, uh, don't necessarily
know where Ricky and Cesar are.

We're gonna do whatever
we can to run our race,

'cause that's what
we tried to do from day one.

-SHANE: There's still
money on the line here, so...
-Yeah.

-CESAR: Hi.
-RICKY: Excuse me.

Hi. We're looking
for the entrance to 95 North.

-95 North?
-RICKY: 95 North. Yeah.

-This way two blocks? Left?
-So once you're at the light,
make a left. Two blocks.

RICKY:
Okay, great. Thank you, Steven,

-so much.
-Thank you very much.

Let's go. Come on,
come on, come on, come on.

JUAN: Glen Foerd. Glen Foerd.
I just saw the, uh, a sign.

To go this way?
It said Glen Foerd this way?

-Yeah, to go this way. Yep.
-Okay.

Okay. We should be close.

Really? Checking your hair?

[chuckles]

You were just
checking your hair?

RICKY:
Yeah, I was.

-Straight ahead.
-Go, go, go.

-JUAN: Glen Foerd. You see it?
-Yeah.

JUAN:
Yeah, that's it. That's it.

[all cheering]

-RICKY: Come on.
-Let's go.

[excited chatter]

BOTH:
One, two, three!

Aah!

Ricky and Cesar,

eight countries...

...14 cities,



I am pleased to tell you
that you are

the official winners
of Amazing Race.

You have won
the $1 million prize.

I love you so much.

[cheering continuing]

KEOGHAN:
This finish right here

is their seventh
first-place finish.

I'm in disbelief.
Just the fact that

this sets up the foundation

of what our life is gonna be.

You are truly my best friend,

and I love you so much,

and I'm so happy
that we shared this together.

So what is the future
with the two of you?

Building a family
and going through the process

of adoption is really hard,
and it's really expensive.

So thankfully, with this,
we can start building that.

RICKY:
I feel extremely proud of us.

Winning seven legs
of The Amazing Race

is just an incredible feat.
[chuckles]

CESAR:
It was truly a gift,
every single leg.

And just being able
to perform this well

-is just...
-Just the cherry on top.

-[exclaims]
-[cheering, applause]

Yeah, let's go!

Juan and Shane,
I am pleased to tell you

that you are the second team
to arrive. Congratulations.

[cheering]

A very competitive season.

It's a blessing.

It's a blessing
straight from God.

This has been
an incredible experience.

SHANE:
Phil, I wouldn't change
a single thing about this race.

-Going up against these guys,
and everybody, for that matter.
-Dude, just studs.

-Every day.
-[laughs]

It was just such a blast.

JUAN:
Like, this is not
an easy thing to do.

What you're not
realizing is, if you want

to go to another state,
nobody's gonna stop you.

Like, you can get in the car
and you go.

KEOGHAN:
Congratulations.
You are the only team

in Amazing Racehistory,

I believe,
who's come to the finish line

and seen two states.

-[cheering]
-Don't-don't clap at that.

SHANE:
We came on the race together,

and were able to compete
at the level that we did.

JUAN:
We left it all on the field
every time.

I think that's exactly
what we came here to do,

and I think that's
exactly what we did do.

-Everybody will remember this.
-[chuckles] Yeah, exactly.

Juan and Shane,
first-place losers.

[both laughing]

Check.

-Good job!
-Oh, thank you, Lord.

-Get us out of here, man.
-Here is your clue.

Oh, man, I'm sorry,
I kept y'all out here so long.

Hey, man, we here, baby!

[all cheering]

Congratulations. You are
the third team to arrive.

You guys have smiled
through this race.

-You've laughed
through this race.
-We have.

You've been competitive
through this race.

What's the key? Give advice
to everybody who wants this kind

-of relationship.
-To me, I would say
the biggest key

to a relationship
and to marriage is forgive.

-Yes.
-Always. Quickly.

ROD:
Apologize.

You're a team, no matter what.

I always tell my daughter
to conquer her fears,

and I believe
in leading by example,

so I conquered mine.

And I know they're gonna
be proud watching that.

ROD:
Man, let me tell you something.

With Amazing Race,
we can say that it has taught us

-not to give up, not to give up
on each other. Don't quit.
-Mm-hmm.

ROD:
So I think that's been
the greatest thing for us.

Even though today
probably was our roughest leg,

-I had the most fun with him.
-[cheering]

-We've definitely come
a long way since the first leg.
-ROD: Yes.

I had to put
that pride and ego aside

and just keep fighting
every leg, so,

I think we did a great job.

SHANE:
We do live on opposite sides
of the country.

And we are as inseparable
as you can possibly get.

Being able to go on here
and share, you know,

every waking moment
is probably not ideal,

but honestly,
I thought it was really fun.

So I think this is exactly
what we set out to do

and we accomplished it.

RICKY:
It just means so much to have

experienced this and to learn
so much about our relationship

and be able to take
what we've learned here

and apply it to real life.

I just look forward
to sharing my life with you

and getting to do
more crazy adventures like this.

[cheering]
