35x09 - In the Belly of the Earth

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on The Amazing Race,

for the first time ever,

teams raced to Slovenia.

A battle for the Express Pass..

- Do you think you can b*at them, yes or no?

- My God!

Dude, we could do it. Rob? Rob?

I think we can b*at Rob.

Ended with a thrill for

father and son Rob and Corey.

Express Pass, baby.

Steve and Anna Leigh's

massive mistakes

Do you have the Express Pass?

Express Pass is closed.

I'm sorry.

Caused anger

We're stupid. We're stupid.

Sadness

Such a beautiful place.

It sucks to feel last like this.

And acceptance.

We're going home.

But at least

we're going home with a bang.

Brothers Greg and John b*at

married couple Todd and Ashlie

in a footrace

and won their third leg

in a row.

You are team number one.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Meanwhile, Steve and Anna Leigh

made an epic comeback

You are not the last team,

and you are still racing.

- Congratulations.

- God.

As sisters Morgan and Lena

were eliminated from the race.

Even though we didn't win,

we got something a lot better.

We got a new relationship

with each other.

I think we did that.

Greg and John will be

the first to start the next leg

of the race at the city's

crown jewel, Dragon Bridge.

All right.

Route Info.

"Travel on foot

"to Congress Square

for your next clue.

You have zero euro

for this leg of the race."

- Okay. Okay.

- All right.

We've won three legs

in a row now.

There's always pressure

when you have a streak.

Even if I'm doing, like, New

York Times crossword every day,

the higher it gets, the more

stressed I get the next morning

to try to finish it.

And anything can happen.

Other teams

can have a really good day.

The Express Pass can be used, o

- staying in the game is the most important thing.

- Yeah.

"Travel on foot to Congress

Square for your next clue.

You have zero euros

for this leg of the race."

- Congress Square. Let's go.

- All right.

- Back to Congress Square.

- Let's get it. Okay, let's go.

- Do you remember how to get there?

- Nope.

We are leaving

just seconds behind first.

We are definitely due for a win,

but this is the process.

Sometimes you don't

get there right away.

We're getting along great.

The key to our marriage

is just forgiving.

You're gonna mess up,

you're gonna have

expl*sive conversations,

but as long as you can

forgive and move on,

- then we just start new.

- Right.

Hopefully we keep

the running to a minimum today.

- Yeah.

- Which I doubt it.

I see it.

- You impressed by my navigation?

- Yeah.

Yeah, it was great.

- Right off the bat.

- Right off the bat.

- Roadblock.

- Roadblock.

"Who Can Deliver the Goods?"

Before the invention

of fantastic plastic,

kitchenware was made from wood.

Woodenware, or as it's known

here in Slovenia, suha roba,

is this country's

biggest and oldest woodcraft

an environmentally sustainable

choice that's still done today.

Sellers intricately

attach them to a backpack

something teams must do

before making a delivery.

After picking up

a carrier called akrosnja,

teams must make their way

to this shop,

attach a dozen wooden items

to their board

then carefully carry the

precariously-hanging utensils

to the one of these judges.

- It's gonna be you.

- Me?

- Me? Okay.

- Yeah.

- You're faster and you're better at directions.

- Okay.

Hi.

All right.

So I wear this like this?

Interesting.

All right.

So this is a krosnja.Okay.

So let's find

some friendly people

to give directions, shall we?

Can I ask you a question?

I just need directions

to this location.

- I see it. Go.

- There it is.

We'll try this out.

I might have to ask again,

- but thank you so much.

- Yeah, you Yeah.

"Who Can Deliver the Goods?"

It's gonna be you,

it's for directions.

Here we go.

Todd and Ashlie just showed up.

- Thank you.

- You got it, babe.

When I saw "deliver,"

I automatically knew this

was gonna be a Todd challenge.

He's way better with directions.

Battling for first with

Greg and John.

Ahead of me is John,

and I want to get out of here

before I see Corey or Rob

coming up on us.

Route Info.

"Travel on foot to Congress

Square for your next clue.

You have zero euro

for this leg of the race."

We got the Express Pass

in the last leg,

and it's valid through leg ten.

So our goal today is just

survive the leg,

not use the Express Pass,

so we can try to use it

next leg.

Hello.

I got to choose a workstation.

Finished example.

I've just got to assemble.

It looks like

it's a bunch of wooden pieces

that hang

and squeeze into slots.

Something I'd see at, like,

IKEA, I think.

But not with instructions, so

All right, first I'm gonna

look at what pieces I have.

The order

might be important here.

So slide one drum in here,

another drum in there.

That seems

to be a fair assumption.

- Hey.

- Yeah.

I got to put this together.

Yeah. Nice.

You starting from

the bottom-bottom up, John?

I'm starting from top down,

but back to front.

Since day one, we've been

worried about Rob and Corey.

They find a way to come back,

even if they're

in the bottom of the pack.

Just when you think,

like, they are gone,

they just appear

out of nowhere, like

And you're just like,

"Where did you come from?"

We got Rob and Corey.

Hey-o.

"Who Can Deliver the Goods?"

I can.

I'm gonna deliver the goods.

Today, we have time,

'cause

Steve and Anna Leigh

"Howdy, Texas"

are way behind.

This feels like a medieval

t*rture device right now.

It's, like, hitting my head

every step along.

I'm gonna need to keep that.

The details seem to be some

order of these wooden things.

- I'm sorry.

- You're good.

How'd you get this thing open?

Did you untie it?

Yeah, I untied it,

just a little bit.

There it is.

Hello.

This goes on top somehow.

And these tie on somehow.

"Choose

an available workstation."

I like that.

About what I think is done.

Gonna check my work next to

the to the prize itself.

All right.

Gonna go for it.

Gonna put this thing on.

It's a lot heavier

than when I came.

Make sure nothing falls.

This does not

feel great on the back.

All right,

let's find the square.

I see. That hangs on those.

It's very tedious. You know,

if you don't tighten it

down right, you know

it's gonna come undone.

So got to be very careful.

I feel so inclined to run.

Might try for a second.

Nah.

It's not that heavy,

but it feels pretty delicate.

Kind of rickety.

And if something falls off,

I might not remember exactly

where it goes, so I'm just

gonna kind of keep with this.

Hey.

Actually, this isn't it. Nope.

Hi, excuse me.

Do you know where this is?

It's in Alamannia. In Wuürzburg.

Is that walking?

No, it's in Germany.

- Really?

- Really.

- You sure?

- I'm pretty sure.

Okay. I'll think about that.

A lot of detail that goes

into this, it looks like.

Hardest thing is making sure

it doesn't fall apart on you.

This one's definitely

gonna be slow and steady.

Careful, careful, careful.

I just got to find this.

So I left behind Corey,

but he has an Express Pass.

He could use

that anytime he wants.

I just got to grind it out.

The amazing walk.

That's what we're at.

Not yet.

This might be it up here.

All right.

I'll just put it

Okay. How does this look?

- Very well.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Well done.

All good.

Here you go.

Back to Gregory.

I think I know where to go.

Route Info.

"Travel on foot

to Congress Square

"for your next clue.

You have zero euro

- "for this leg of the race."

- Congress Square. We know where that is.

We know where

Congress Square is.

You might look at us and say,

"Couple of dad bods.

They're not gonna do

very good in this race."

It's the best

of the best that are left.

And I don't know if we fit in

with the best of the best,

but we're doing our best

to-to move up in that.

We're doing our best

to be the best of the best

- with the best.

- Yeah.

- I don't know if this is it.

- I thought this was it.

My boy!

My boy.

That's what you do.

That's what you do.

- Good job, boys.

- That's what you do.

All right, let's do it.

This is where

the-the jitters start coming.

Once you see a team come.

Route Info.

"Drive to Pivka Jama."

Hidden beneath

the landscape of Slovenia

is an elaborate network

of more than 8,000 caves.

Or, as the locals

call them, jama.

Legend has it

this is where the dragons live.

These subterranean marvels

are also thought

to be the birthplace

of cave exploration

and continue

to entice spelunkers

from all over the world.

Teams must descend

deep into the Pivka Cave

and make their way about the

length of eight football fields

to find their next clue.

Cool!

- It's an outdoor activity?

- Cave time.

- We can ask them real quick.

- See you guys.

Hey. Could you just

google this real quick for us?

Beards.

- This is it.

- There it is.

Right here.

What's up, mustachios?

- To the right and at end the of park.

- Yeah.

- So, like, right there.

- Yeah. And then we'll recognize it. Great.

"Who Can Deliver the Goods?"

- I can deliver goods.

- All right.

Okay. Let's move.

All right, let's go.

So we just saw

the brothers leave.

I'm hoping Todd could

kick it up and hurry it up. No.

It goes against every fiber of

my being not to run right now.

I totally want to run.

You get so used to having

a pack on you that's secure.

This is not secure.

In fact, this feels like

it's about to fall apart.

Come on. Come on.

Okey dokey.

I'm terrified.

I don't want to drop something

and have to come

all the way back and redo it.

You know, forward progress

is better than no progress.

You know?

Um, can you help me?

I just need to find the address.

"jeva Cesta 13."

That should be it.

All right. So we are

- We are here.

- Yeah.

- I think I need to go up this way, one road.

- Yeah.

I did not want

to acknowledge them.

We're at the point

in the race where

I've loved

helping teams in the past,

it's been great

working together,

but I don't think there's

room to spare anymore.

We're down to six teams.

Everyone's really competitive.

Everyone's really good.

Until that. Okay.

I think I got it.

- Have fun. - Bye.

- Thank you, guys.

I've seen some other teams

at the Roadblock, waiting,

but I haven't seen

any teams along the way yet.

I'm sure when I get there

there will be some.

My God.

That's wild.

"Travel on foot to Congress

Square for your next clue.

You have zero euro

for this leg of the race."

- Wonderful.

- All right.

- Congress Square.

- Okay. Congress Square.

It feels really surreal

to have made it this far.

Yeah, it feels really cool

to have made it this far.

We have a one in six chance

of winning a million dollars,

and that would

be life-changing money

and mean that I could

send my kids to college.

I don't think we have

any high hopes for the day,

other than not being so

ornery to each other

and just have fun with it.

We're very close

to seeing our kids,

so I think that's motivation

to just keep going.

Is this Congress Square?

Let's go down this way.

This is down to parking, right?

- Right here.

- Let's just go this way.

- No. Garage, garage.

- Here, here, here.

It's right there.

Four. This is us.

- All of our hay.

- All the hay.

Fingers crossed.

These should be some

pretty straightforward

directions.

- It looked like it.

- Yeah.

These, buildings are

looking a lot like the photo.

Good thing is

I don't see any other teams.

Hello.

Okay.

Top is a barrel.

Two washtubs on the side.

I got this.

"Travel on foot to Congress

Square for your next clue.

You have zero euro

for this leg."

- Let's boogie.

- Congress Square. Let's go.

- We are in dead last starting today.

- Yep.

Moral of the last leg is that

it's not over until it's over.

We've never been closer

to a million dollars before.

And for me,

it's so cool to get to see him

check off things that

he would not have ever done,

like gliding and going skiing.

She's my grown-up girl,

my grown-up little baby,

and she's off and married now.

And to be able

to spend this time with her

is just priceless to me.

Why do you do that?

This way. This way.

"Who Can Deliver the Goods?"

It's you.

Okay.

This is very tough competition.

The whole race,

we've been neck and neck.

Coming into the race, I thought

we'd be top of the pack,

and turns out

that was false hope.

I'm terrified

of dropping something.

I do not want to drop anything,

so I'm going-I'm going

pretty slow here.

Hello. How are you guys?

Hi.

Up here?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

All right, back to,

back to where I need to go.

That way.

This is a dad-friendly task,

but usually when I do

dad-friendly tasks,

I'm not feeling

this kind of pressure

to get 'em done right.

Um, I'm looking for.

"Truba.

Trubarjeva."

Baby!

"Drive to Pivka Jama

and find your next clue."

"Deep within

the cavernous cave!"

All right, let's go.

- There's the clue box, Dad.

- Come on.

- Texas!

- Hey, guys.

- You want to do it?

- I'll do it.

Let's go, man.

However you can

navigate this traffic.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, Steve and Anna Leigh

Yeah, we want

Steve and Anna Leigh out,

'cause they

are a very strong team.

Here we go.

Okay. Just look at this guy?

- Yep. He's your guy.

- Thanks.

Hello, hello.

How are you?

I think I have

some things for you.

Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you.

I think that this one goes here.

I did okay?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Man. That was exactly what

I wanted. Just do it right once.

Two medium, a little

Excuse me.

Do you know where this is?

When I arrived, Chelsea was

the only other person there.

So I knew that we were last.

- I've never even heard of this thing.

- Yeah, right?

But I did absolutely

everything I could to get ahea.

I got Chelsea here with me,

trying to figure it out as well.

We're doing

the best we can over here.

I hope that

we can get out of here

before one

of the other two teams.

Just make up

a little ground on somebody.

I'm going to

try to maintain a relaxed state

instead of

an anxious state today.

Route Info.

"Drive to Pivka Jama

and find your clue

deep within the cavernous cave."

Okay.

This should be us right here.

We are going to a cavern.

All I know is that they're dark

and they're cold

and often wet.

All I know is stalactites

are on the ceiling

and stalagmites

are on the ground.

I think she got to go.

I got in my head a little bit

when Anna Leigh left.

I just couldn't wrap my head

around her doing it that quicky

'cause I had gotten there firs.

Make sure I'm not missing it.

No, no, no, no, no.

I need a mirror.

Anna Leigh

snuck out in front of me.

I'm only a couple minutes

behind her, maybe.

This is definitely

a slow and steady situation.

It's making me crazy

that I can't run right now.

I'm here again. Great.

This isn't where I want to be.

Strasser,

use the power of the beard!

Yeah!

He started flapping it.

Come on, beard.

I'm not gonna follow my nose,

I'm gonna follow my beard,

and it says,

"This is the right way."

My thing fell.

Hard to get that on.

No.

Right as I saw

Anna Leigh's fall apart,

I was like,

"Okay, I've got a little"

And then, of course,

mine fell apart.

Okay.

I'm feeling

Chelsea's following me.

Okay.

Trying to go slow and steady.

That's all I can do

at this point.

There it is.

I see the fountain now.

Finally made it.

Got an emu over here.

That's cool.

I don't know why there's an emu

there, but I'm all about it.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

No. All good.

Here is your packet of goods.

My packet for you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I got to go back. All right.

Take the clue back to Smithe,

and we'll be on our way.

There it is. I see it.

Hello.

- Heavy?

- Yeah.

Yeah? Okay.

- Thank you, sir.

- Thank you.

Nice job, Strasser.

- That was silly.

- Nice job.

- That was silly, silly, silly.

- Nice job, nice job.

All right.

Good job, you guys.

- There's Anna Leigh.

- There she is.

- Nope, that's Anna Leigh.

- Come on, Leelee!

Run it out, girl!

Come on, Chelsea.

I'm just waiting for Chelsea,

hoping she's

right around the corner.

My God.

This person has a pet ostrich.

Sorry. Excuse me.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Let me check it.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay?

I feel bad for Chelsea

more than anything right now,

'cause I'm sure

she's just in knots over this.

Unfortunately,

something is missing.

- Try again.

- Okay.

Great.

I'm still hopeful.

And I'm guessing she's gonna be

rounding that corner soon.

Here we go again.

Apparently,

I'm missing something

from my krosnja

or whatever it's called.

Seems like maybe I'm the only

person who had to go back,

which just goes to show

how stiff the competition is,

'cause this is not an easy task.

We're the only all-girl team.

We're the second oldest team.

It's not the end of the road

yet. The day's just begun.

There's a lot of leg

left to race, so I'm hopeful.

I don't think this

is a nail in the coffin for us,

but it'll be

a little hurdle to get over.

Hi.

I think I have

everything I need attached,

but just double-checking.

A big set right there.

A mallet.

The rolling pin is right

Where did the rolling pin go?

Yeah. Okay.

I think the rolling pin may have

fallen off of something,

'cause I swore it was there.

That's maybe what it was.

All right,

let's give it a try again.

All right, "Jama/Cave."

- Yeah! That's it.

- Thank goodness.

- To the right?

- Yeah, to the right. Yeah, yeah.

We love it

when the signage lines up.

- Love it when the signage lines up.

- We've got a few

twists and curves.

It's not just

gonna be right off here.

Yeah, I see it. There it is.

Straight. Yeah, straight.

So, looking for signs towards.

Postojna or Pivka Jama.

- Pivka Jama! Yes. Okay, we're good.

- I found it.

All right.

Basically, I navigate and drive,

and she kind of

course-corrects me, um, as we

Whether he likes it or not.

"Jama/grotte/cave."

Is that where we should go?

What do you think, babe?

Well, we just passed it,

if that was it.

I missed the exit.

Our family has a name for this.

I do this a lot.

We call 'em "dad detours."

- For sure. These are a thing.

- Um, so when I Yeah.

Even my kids were like,

"Dad, whatever you do

on the race,

don't do any dad detours."

- And here we are.

- Well, here we are.

Go to Postojna.

Go back? Okay. Okay.

How do we get back to

Okay.

Yeah, we missed our exit.

So, um, she's not happy.

It's all right.

The plan now is to

flip a u-ey and go back

in the direction that we came.

Whatever lead we had,

we've kind of

probably squashed it now.

So it's not a comfortable spot

to be in right now.

Just waiting.

I know she's working hard,

so she'll get here

when she gets here.

Hey.

Hopeful she'll be turning

the corner soon, though.

Okay.

- Thanks.

- There you go.

Good job, Chels!

- I'm sorry.

- Nothing to be sorry about.

- You did awesome.

- I did not

"Drive to Pivka Jama

and find your clue deep

- "within the cavernous cave."

- Cool. Awesome.

Okay.

Thanks for not being mad at me.

- Why would I be mad at you?

- You did better than I could do.

This is definitely Pivka Jama.

- Okay, cool. I don't see anyone.

- All right.

- Made it.

- Let's go, baby.

Let's go, baby!

That's hype, dude.

- Let's go.

- I'll take the keys.

All right. Down here.

And there should be

provided headlamps.

- Wait. There

- Nice.

- Okay, we're on the move.

- First team here!

There is nothing

no better feeling

than being the first team.

What do we have in store?

What do we have in store?

Dude, this is deep.

The cave was cavernous,

and emphasis on "cavernous."

Dude, there's, like,

a river down here.

Look at the mist.

It was magical-looking

the way the light

hit the fog

coming out of the cave,

seeing the water

rushing through,

seeing the stalactites

dripping from the ceiling.

Man, I've never

been in a cave like this.

- I love the river.

- River's my favorite part.

It also says search

for the clue, so it might not be

- as obvious as, like, at the end. Yeah.

- It said search?

Well, Steve and Anna Leigh

are still right on our tail.

She's laughing and waving.

- She's gonna pass us now.

- Boy.

She's using the exit lane

to pass everybody.

I'm getting over to the left.

She just passed us.

- Don't stall.

- Are you serious, Joel?

My God. What are you doing?

I don't know!

There's only

one other car here.

- Okay.

- Okay.

This is amazing.

Yeah, it's getting

real chilly down here.

Low part coming up here.

- We're good.

- Yeah, we're good.

Thankfully, the headlamp

took the damage.

- Carry on.

- Stay vigilant, stay vigilant.

Stay vigilant.

- What have we got here? Nice.

- Nice, nice.

- Sweet.

- Ready?

"Descend deep into Pivka Jama

and assemble a dragon."

Teams must continue

further into the cave

to find the pieces of a dragon.

Once they've brought the dragon

to life, they'll get a clue.

- All right.

- Let's roll.

- This cave is huge.

- Yeah.

- We're here.

- All right.

Okay, let's do it.

- Okay. What's gonna be the best workstation?

- Right here, right?

- With the best view.

- It turns around. Yeah.

A lot of pieces.

- This is a lot.

- A lot of pieces.

- So we'll start with the front legs, which are long.

- Yeah.

- Yep, that's the joint.

- Just put it on there?

All right.

You know what to do right now?

- Yeah.

- Front legs? Okay. Go four of those.

Yeah.

We knew it was

gonna be pretty complicated.

- Thank you.

- So Johnny and I decided that we would build

from the ground up, just in

case we didn't miss anything.

'Cause if you missed something

at the beginning,

and then

you found out at the end,

it would be so hard

to go back and try to fix it.

All right, so here's the thing.

There are layers on top of

these big legs, but the wings

look pretty complex.

- We'll keep building from the body.

- Yeah, yeah.

- We'll just do

- Yeah. We'll just keep building. The tail, though.

- Look at this tail.

- I know, I know

All right,

we'll start with the body.

Need to make sure

we are taking our time.

No sign of any other teams,

but at any moment

- But at any

- Any moment, someone can join us.

Man, this is a big cave.

Had to have been so scary to be

the first person

to discover this place.

Clue.

"Assemble a dragon to receive

a clue from the dragon keeper"?

How cool is this place?

Holy cow.

- What up, guys? Okay.

- Yo, how's it going? - Hey!

You're in charge.

So I told my dad

he's in charge of the building.

He builds all my IKEA furniture,

no instructions.

So this is perfect.

There's no instructions here.

Right up his alley.

We just took the exit to

Postojna. We're back on track.

Hopefully no other teams

have leapfrogged us,

but it always sucks losing time

when this race is this tight.

"Look for marked parking."

- There's marked parking.

- There's marked parking.

- Pull on in.

- All right.

- We get to go in a cave.

- Ready?

- Go, go, go.

- Come on, let's go cave spelunking, girl.

Go, go, go.

Light on.

- Look!

- How cool is this?

- This is freaking cool.

- Who found this?

More cave signs, please.

"Camping. Pivka Jama."

Pivka Jama.

- It says Pivka Jama. I mean

- It says Pivka Jama.

"Pivka Jama. Cave."

I bet it's a beautiful cave

filled with "stalag-tilites."

"Sta-Stalag-lites"?

- What's

- What's that?

"Stalag stalag-lites"?

Coming into today,

Chelsea and I had

both agreed that we were

just gonna enjoy the ride.

We each know that we're

doing the best that we can do,

so you can't really

be upset with each other.

Whatever's gonna happen's

gonna happen regardless

if I'm pissed off

or if I'm happy.

So I might as well

be happy about it.

"Stalag-delights."

- Hi, guys. - Hey.

- Hi.

- Good to see you.

- Yeah, congrats. That was a big jump. Big jump.

These ones are particular,

'cause you have to

slide 'em in and down.

Keep this pace.

Keep this hungry pace.

Back.

I'm gonna lay the pieces out.

- Get 'em where you can see 'em.

- My God, we're building

a dragon

in a freaking cave in Slovenia.

- Ready to go?

- Yeah.

So we're searching

for a clue in the cave?

Deep within the cave.

Deep within the cave.

This is crazy.

- Dude, we're so last.

- Sorry, babe.

- It's gonna cost us the whole race.

- Okay.

Well, I'm sorry

that's the way you feel

that my driving

cost us the whole race.

So freaking stupid.

This is a lot trickier

than it looks.

There's a lot of pieces here

and they're

all pretty different.

I see.

I just had the wrong piece

a second ago.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. And then

we put one of these on, right?

Okay. We're getting in a rhythm.

Watch your fingers, girl.

My fingers are fine.

Here, you work on his body.

I'm gonna start

working on his head.

- That goes out like this?

- Yeah.

Nice, man.

All right.

I got the other wing here.

This is beautiful.

- We're there. There's the dragon.

- There's the dragon.

Joel and Garrett just rolled up,

so pressure's on, baby.

Here's our pieces.

Let's do it, right here.

- So I start with the feet?

- Yeah.

We love doing puzzles

as a family.

That kind of thing

is just fun to me.

And so right away,

we just got in there

and started from the bottom up.

So we're gonna go up like this,

towards the

It slides

into where the other slot is.

Yeah, put the leg in the middle.

Okay. Where's the leg?

- You're-you're right there.

- Okay.

This is a good task for us.

We like building stuff.

We did good on the bee house.

Think we'll do okay

on this one, too.

All right. Together.

- Together.

- Together.

All right. Yes.

All right. Dragon Master.

Looks pretty good, right?

This dragon will never fly.

- Not good.

- Okay. Okay. - Never fly.

That's one way to say it.

Okay.

- Pivka Jama Cave.

- We're getting closer?

Okay, yeah,

we're getting closer.

- I see it right there.

- That's camping.

We're not going

to Pivka Jama camping.

We're supposed to go

to Pivka Jama so turn here?

I don't think that's the case.

"When you get to Pivka Jama,

park in the marked

parking area."

We'll go a little bit further

up here

and look for the marked

parking area, I guess.

All right, aren't you all

a sight for sore eyes.

Don't you love it

when you miss one exit

and it takes you 30 kilometers

down the road?

- All right, where's the other

- There's a station over there.

We're the second to last team.

Let's bust this out.

Okay. Then we need

the big one. Let's get this.

The true test of marriage is

if you can

assemble furniture together

- without getting divorced.

- Insert. Yeah, yeah.

So, we shall see.

- Take a right.

- Take a right? This is

This is saying to the castle.

You want me to go right still?

The caves are over here.

I promise you

- the caves are over here.

- Okay, okay.

You tell me where to go.

I don't see any marked parking.

Maybe go in this lot

on the left?

No, I haven't seen

anything over there.

I don't see a single damn thing.

What the hell?

This is incredibly frustrating.

Are we at the wrong cave,

Robbin?

This is "Postojna Jama."

We're looking for Pivka Jama.

Lo and behold,

we're at the wrong cave.

Should I go down here?

We already went down there.

We've done everything already.

So, what should I do now?

Wish Phil would just take us

out of our misery at this point.

Let's keep our eyes peeled

for signs for the cave.

I don't really know

where we're supposed to go.

Definitely not clear,

wherever it is.

No, it's not.

Damn cave is gonna be closed

by the time we get there.

Every team is here

except for Chelsea and Robbin.

So does his head just

slide into this back slot here?

While we were

working on the dragon,

we were so deep in that cave.

It was neat.

We had ran, it felt like a mil,

into the earth,

and we're building this dragon

in the belly of the earth,

it felt like.

It was such a cool place

to put it together.

On the count of three,

a dragon sound. One, two, three.

- Roar!

- Roar!

- Yeah. That worked.

- Hey, the roar worked.

- Roar!

- That was what it was all about. That was

- All we had to do was roar.

- That just locked it into place.

- We should have thought of that sooner.

- Let's roar on this one.

- Yeah. You ready?

- One, two, three.

- Roar!

- Roar!

That's

Man, this is tough.

Caught my dad

doing something upside down.

- There we go. We're good.

- Okay.

Let me put these two toes on.

- Be careful.

- Okay, ready?

Now all I got to do

is just get it started.

There. Just takes a minute

to settle.

- Good to go? Good to go?

- Okay, yeah.

- Something seems amiss.

- Yeah.

- Gregory.

- These are not in. This is

That looked like this?

- Yeah.

- My gosh. Okay.

We look at the hind legs,

and they're kind of hanging out

from the butt.

- Can you lift the whole dragon?

- Yeah.

- We need to push this in a little bit more.

- Come on.

It's in. It's in.

- Yeah.

- Can we get a check?

We think this is a nice,

healthy dragon for you.

Let it fly! Let it fly!

Your job down here is done.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Appreciate it.

- Okay. Thank you.

- All right, thank you.

"Drive to Fonda Fish Farm

to find your next clue."

The Fonda family

have been living

in this region of Slovenia

for centuries.

Today, they run

the Fonda Fish Farm,

which claims to have the best

farmed fish in the world.

It's here at this

prized business

that teams will choose a Detour.

- That's enough.

- All right.

Rob and Corey weren't

all that close.

- They were still on the tail.

- Yeah.

We're leaving

in a cool first place.

We just keep up this rate,

we'll be good.

Once again, beautiful Slovenia.

- It hasn't had an ugly side.

- That's the thing.

City: Charming.

Mountains: Mountainous.

Caves: Cavernous.

We're trying

to make this dragon fly,

but it does not want

to cooperate.

Got it.

- Looks better.

- Sweet.

Dragon keeper,

may we have a check, please?

Your job down here

- is done.

- Yes!

Aah!

"Drive to Fonda Fish Farm

to find your nice clue."

So these go into

those side pieces right there.

- Do you see those two sides?

- I see. Yup.

And then flip it. Flip it. Yes.

- Where are the rest of the circles?

- The circles.

It's Is it not sitting here?

I don't see 'em.

I put

I put it right here.

They made

this campground a maze.

I'm just gonna

go slow and we're gonna

look for marked parking.

I don't understand

how this isn't the right spot.

Hello.

We're very turned around.

We are trying

to find Pivka Jama Cave.

Yes?

It's in the camping place?

Thank you.

All right. Well, let's hustle.

We were at the proper place

before, and we just needed

to go a bit further.

Yes, babe.

If both of us try to take

charge, it will be expl*sive.

So, I'm okay with sitting

in the back seat.

- And, critiquing.

- All right. Where's the hammer?

Like

Much like I do in the car.

That piece doesn't seem right.

- It's right. It's just.

- Okay. This is where

where it goes. Just a tap.

You just elbowed me in the head.

- Okay. Check?

- Check.

Well, that's as cool

as the beehive.

I love our dragon.

Can we take him home?

Thank you very much.

We're in the home stretch.

We're figuring this out.

We'll be done in a sec.

Man, this tail is a puzzle.

- Okay, think we're good.

- Check?

Check, please.

What do you say, dragon master?

It's good to me.

- Yes!

- Yeah!

We'll get that someday.

- Thank you, dragon master.

- Thank you very much. Thank you.

- Roar!

- Roar!

They just left. They're done.

I have a little confession

to make.

That dragon noise

was actually my lion noise

that I always make to my kids,

and my bear noise.

It works for all kinds

of beasts, it turns out.

Beard brothers did

that dragon quick, didn't they?

I didn't even ever see

Chelsea and Robbin.

As much as I love

Todd and Ashlie,

I would almost rather

see them eliminated today

over Chelsea and Robbin

because I'm scared-er

of Todd and Ashlie

than I am of Chelsea

and Robbin..

But anything can happen.

So we're not counting

anybody out yet.

- Fonda Fish Farm.

- And then which one? This one?

- We're boating today.

- We're boating today.

We're boating today, baby. Yes!

Detour.

"Scrape Off or Swap Out?"

The fish here

at the Fonda Farm are fed

in these floating

mesh containers.

Part of maintaining

these structures

is removing the barnacles

that grow on the underside

of these floating rings.

The best way to clean them off

is using a chain,

then forcefully pulling

it back and forth

to remove these hanger-on-ers.

There's no escaping hard work

on this Detour.

Once teams have cleaned

two rings, they'll get a clue.

The deep, clean waters

of the Adriatic Sea

provide the perfect amount

of particles

to grow these

filter-feeding mussels.

Mussels attach to lines

that farmers dangle from buoys.

One ten-foot line

can grow about 15,000 mussels

over the course of a year.

This Detour requires teams

to use a kayak

to locate two marked buoys.

After pulling a line

to the surface, they must

swap out the old buoy

with a new one.

When they've delivered

two lines

of mussels to the shore,

they'll get a clue.

We're gonna do Swap Out.

I don't want to clean.

- Seems kind of gross.

- Yeah. Yeah, man, it's easy.

We could either

scrape some barnacles, or

swap out some buoys.

The one we chose

is more needle-in-the-haystack.

Okay.

And when you're in first place

for a needle-in-the-haystack,

there are more needles

to choose from.

- Hello. - Maybe we board?

- All right.

Beautiful.

The boat ride was amazing.

Just to be on the water,

just sitting back,

letting someone else drive for

us and just kind of taking in

the Adriatic Sea

was really nice.

It's a nice day, it's sunny,

we're on the water.

- We're boating. Yeah.

- We're boating.

Sun's out,

g*ns out a little bit.

Sun's out, g*ns out.

My gosh.

Yeah, it's a good day.

It's a good day.

- This way? Parking.

- Right here.

Here we go.

Come on, Chels.

This is it, baby.

Okay, let's go.

- How beautiful is this?

- Incredible.

Check this out, Robbin.

How freaking cool.

I got to get out of here.

Worst part about this is

just trying to figure it out,

and we got two cooks

in the kitchen.

That doesn't look right.

That's not.

- And this is

- No, no, no, no.

Can you just go check them?

Why don't you go check,

since you're hammering it?

'Cause I'm doing it.

Well, if you're doing it,

you should check and make sure.

- 'Cause I'm gonna come back

- So what are you So, what?

Okay, I'll go check and then

not know what I'm looking at.

I feel like this isn't right.

We're getting further and

further away from everyone else.

Can you just come here

so we could both see this?

- This connects here.

- Yeah, that's what I've been doing.

That's what I wanted to see.

See if, like,

hey, am I doing it right?

Okay.

Aha. Can we get a check, please?

I think I'm gonna

get a dragon tattoo now.

Your job down here is done.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, my friend! Yes. Thank you.

Better late than never, right?

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you, sir. Thank you.

"Drive to Fonda Fish Farm

to find your next clue."

- All right, let's go.

- All right.

Man, what a day.

That was terrible.

Well, there was one more left,

which I'm assuming

is Robbin and Chelsea.

Here we go.

Watch. There's five other ones

in here.

- There she is.

- One lonely clue.

That's the finished example.

Okay, here's our workstation.

- It's the last one.

- All right.

Let's just get 'em all situated

and keep 'em in the stacks

they're in.

Fun. Very Game of Thrones.

Very.

This is incredible.

We were just in the mountains

and now we're by the sea.

We're at some seaside villages.

You can smell the fresh sea air.

Detour.

"Scrape Off or Swap Out?"

We're gonna choose Swap Out.

Swap Out.

Does this go any faster?

- No.

- Okay.

- That's a lot of

- Lot of buoys.

That's a lot of buoys.

They're just like big lemons.

A lot larger in person

than they are from a distance,

- so, we got to drag 'em out.

- Yeah.

- Hi.

- We have to bring a buoy with us

in order to swap it out

with one of the marked ones.

Johnny and I have

definitely kayaked before.

We're from Chicago, and

our family has a home

in Michigan. We're lake people.

And so, we've had a lot

of those lake activity exposures

throughout the years.

- All right, we're off.

- We're off.

- Feels sturdy!

- Feels sturdy, yeah.

Want to look at the left side,

- I'll look at the right side?

- Okay.

It's a little discouraging to

see how many buoys there were.

You start going down the rows

and realize how far the rows g.

It's gonna take forever.

- Oof.

- All right.

Detour.

"Scrape Off or Swap Out?"

All right,

we're doing Scrape Off.

You need a wet suit

and water shoes.

It's got to be inside.

Here, take the key.

- I see boats waiting for us.

- All right.

- Detour.

- Detour.

Yeah, let's do Swap Out.

- Okay, we'll do Swap Out.

- We'll do Swap Out.

- See that one up there?

- Right there with the

That's marked.

That's marked.

- Do you see that?

- Yeah.

Right here. Look at the handle.

Look at the handle.

Ho-ho.

- All right, now we know.

- Ho, ho, ho! Ho, ho, ho!

All right, so, yeah,

there's a bag of mussels here.

- We found a marked one, which is huge.

- We found a marked one!

With a bunch of mussels.

Mussels, mussels. Okay.

Boy.

Now we need

to swap out the marked buoy

with the one that we brought up.

And we're not good

with knots, but

we just need something

strong enough that it stays.

Go! Okay.

I feel like a seal.

Let's do it!

Let's do it! Go, Dad.

- I feel like we're in third.

- Saw mustachios. Yeah.

I feel like we're somewhere

around third right now.

But any second,

anything can change.

Ton of buoys just

everywhere.

Okay, go ahead.

There's six teams left

now, so it's steep competition.

At some point, we kind of

have to balance out, like,

how much you help people,

how much you not help people.

Swap this out with it.

- Let's go.

- Let's find one more and let's get out of here.

All right, let's do it!

Yeah. This is so pretty.

So, how's

our kayak-paddling abilities

without dumping our kayak?

Either way, we're doing a kayak,

so it doesn't matter.

Anytime you're kicking

IKEA furniture,

you're probably doing

something wrong.

- Let's just get this all done on this side.

- Okay.

- And then we'll get it standing upright, okay?

- Okay.

We're on our way

to the Fonda Fish Farm.

We're still in it, with Robbin

and Chelsea far behind.

We're just gonna play like

we're in dead last and

just grind out

whatever is in front of us.

Let's find one more

and let's get out of here.

Once we start going

for our second batch,

we see Rob and Corey

coming alongside with us.

In the challenge that you're

looking for the same thing,

it gets a bit competitive

because you're looking

at the same objects, and

if you see it at the same time,

it's the first to grab it.

That Right there, Greg,

right there.

To-to the right. Go right,

go right, go right, go right.

Yeah. It's gonna slow us down

a little bit, and okay.

Found the second marked buoy,

which is excellent.

Now it's just about execution.

We've got two, which is

exactly how many we need.

Looks like Rob and Corey

just found their first,

so we just need to pedal

as fast as we can.

No, no, no. I see it.

Let's go. Good.

- All right, ready to pedal like we're in last.

- Yep.

Like, really

put your back into it.

- Doing the most I can right now.

- All right.

This is an entire ring.

Here's, two chains.

Okay.

Off we go.

- To the right.

- Don't spill us.

Okay, I see

how this is gonna work.

I bet the chain goes under it.

It was a huge floating pen,

and it had

double rings all the way

around the outside of it,

and the barnacles were all on

the bottom and the sides of 'e.

This is a lot of barnacles.

We are scraping barnacles!

I think I'm doing it right.

Is all kind of stuff coming off?

Yeah.

So our rope and chain we had

to scrape 'em off

of each section

inside and outside.

- Those barnacles are sucky.

- Yeah, they stick on

pretty good.

You can go backwards

and straddle it.

- You hear me?

- Yeah.

Same place

we dropped off before.

Who is this?

- Rob and Corey.

- Let's go.

I see a lot of buoys.

- This is bag number two.

- Good job, guys.

- Thank you. Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

- Route Info.

- Route Info. Sick.

"Drive to the next Pit Stop."

On average, there is a castle

every 15 miles in Slovenia.

This one, Socerb, was built

as a strategic stronghold

more than a thousand years ago.

Today, teams will get

an excellent view of the border

between Italy and Slovenia,

right next to the Adriatic Sea.

The last team to check in here

will be eliminated.

Great job, boy!

Yeah. Rob and Corey

are on our tail.

I don't think they

Did they do the right thing?

Do we need to tie the buoy down

or just get it on?

No, this is not right.

Okay.

Here.

I don't think

they grabbed the mussels.

I don't think they grabbed

the mussels.

You guys already got one, or

No, we did it wrong.

We did not grab

the bag of mussels

that was attached

to the marked buoy,

and we did not bring

an unmarked buoy to replace it.

Shucks.

We just made a mistake.

Did not read the clue

very thoroughly.

Okay, we got to go.

We just got to go to there.

Look for any flag

- in any row that's nearby.

- Yes.

Okay.

- Once we get that foot on, it'll stay.

- Yeah.

Now what?

- My gosh.

- Wings, I guess.

They go with the

- Goes up.

- Up one more. Okay.

There you go.

Yeah, if you just straddle it

and pull backwards,

it gets 'em good.

Yeah. I've had

some difficult barnacles.

Did you do this whole inside,

too, Anna Leigh,

- by the kayak, or not?

- No.

This is just hard.

- Don't drop your chain.

- I'm not.

Man, this is tough.

When we brought the marked

buoy to the floating dock,

we did not grab the mussels,

and we did not

bring an unmarked buoy

to replace the marked buoy.

We tried to go back

and find the mussels

and replace the buoy.

Had no idea where we pulled

this original buoy from.

We're trying

to find where the buoy was

and then see

if we can get the rope.

There's something on it.

That's it.

Grab the rope

from underneath it.

Okay, here's

where you replace 'em.

Try to center 'em

the best you can

so it doesn't capsize us.

The mussels are heavy.

Here.

This is replaced. All right,

let's get out of here.

- All right, yeah.

- Left. Right.

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

All right.

Gregory, this way.

- One, two. Only two sets.

- Yeah.

Steve and Anna Leigh

they could be right behind us.

They could be right behind us.

We're racing to the mat,

making sure we're in first plae

to see Phil,

to see our boy Phil.

- Okay.

- I just need to get these guys in there.

All right, can we get a check?

Come on.

Your job down here is done.

Yay!

- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

- Okay, let's go to the next one.

- Thank you. Bye.

We're gonna look for signage

to Secovlje.

- Tell me where to go.

- I just want you to know

- what the cities Look like.

- No, you're navigating.

I already messed up today.

All right?

I don't want to mess up twice.

- All right. We got one.

- Did you get it?

- Got it.

- All right.

- Going to the right?

- Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

He's trying to look and see

if we can find the rope

and mussels.

It's tough to see

from the surface

so he's getting in the water

and see if he can see it.

Gonna take a little time.

A little sweat.

This is the worst.

It's getting real tough

to remember where

we pulled this buoy from.

Thinking about switching Detours

right about now.

We're giving up.

We're switching Detours.

We lost a ton of time

out there and figured,

"All right, we aren't gonna

be able to recover on this side

"because we can't retrieve

the original mussels

"that we were supposed to grab.

Forget this.

Let's just switch Detours."

We're taking big risks.

This damn barnacle.

Hey, come on, Barnacle Bill.

- I got 'em.

- That right?

I get under here. I got 'em.

- Big old glob back here.

- You got it?

Get off of there.

There it went. Yeah.

Got it.

Can we have a check?

My back, dude.

Got it.

Go, Dad, go, Dad.

Let's boogie.

- Thank you!

- You better get on this kayak, girl.

Come on, Dad.

You want to get sideways

- and let me out? I can pull you in.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Hey.

- How easy was fish, then?

- It was so hard.

- Really?

Hang on till we get the chains.

We don't want to lose 'em now.

- Are y'all going over there?

- Yeah, we're switching.

- Hey, just get it Look.

- Chains. Here's some chains.

- Get an angle, lean back, Corey.

- Get an angle, lean back.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

- But yeah, use all the rope.

- Lean back.

- Lean. - Go way back.

- Thanks.

- Ready. Get on, Dad.

- See y'all. Thank you.

- Come on.

- All right.

We're still alive.

There's still two teams

we haven't seen.

We have the Express Pass.

If we can crush this

and get out of here,

we're in a really good position

for leg ten.

So it makes me feel good that

- they were switching Detours.

- They were switching Detours,

- so that

- They were just getting started.

I still don't see

Todd and Ashlie

and I still don't see

Chelsea and Robbin.

At any given point,

you have no idea

where any team can be.

The hope of this race

is that when you suck,

someone sucks

a little bit more than you.

Geez, what a day.

So we're definitely

in last place.

Is there ever a leg

of a race without a Detour?

- But that wasn't a Detour.

- That wasn't a Detour.

We still have

a sh*t in hell here.

Express Pass

crossed the mind, but since we

didn't see Robbin and Chelsea,

I figured, let's try

to avoid using it if we can.

It's gross-feeling, slimy.

And try to not fall.

I'll just go back and forth,

just to make sure

I didn't miss anything.

- Any sign of Corey and Rob?

- No.

- Think they went to the other side?

- Boy.

All right.

All right, put the buoy up.

That's how dad bods get out

of kayaks.

- Yes.

- Yeah! We got it.

"Drive to the next Pit Stop

Boy.

"'Scoreb Grad'

and find Phil on the mat.

The last team to check in

will be eliminated."

- All right, let's get there.

- "Scoreb Grad."

One, two, three, four wins.

- Let's get there, let's get there.

- Let's get there.

Let's get there.

You're right, you're right.

I'm out of here.

I'm good, yeah.

Okay. Come on, Dad.

Feel like a sea captain.

- You look like a sea captain.

- Yar!

Fast, Dad. Come on.

Hurry. Every second counts.

- Their lead is small.

- Yes.

"Drive to the next Pit Stop."

S-Socerb.

My goodness.

Steve and Anna Leigh

are in second place.

Didn't they finish

the fish already?

I didn't see their clothes

in there anywhere.

We're probably

in third place right now.

Okay, I think I got it.

- Dad.

- Look at the picture.

It's a castle.

Hey, Dad, here comes a team.

Here comes a team.

There's Steve and Anna Leigh

asking for directions.

- Let's just go.

- One hard left, hard left.

A sign, Crni Kal.

- Okay. Let's go.

- Okay. Go to Crni Kal. - Yes.

Okay, let's go

because they're already done.

- Saline di Sicciole. Right here.

- Yeah.

I see the mustachios.

There's a car coming this way.

- Look who it is!

- Darn it.

Hey, where's Robbin and Chelsea?

- I haven't seen 'em.

- We haven't seen 'em.

- We're getting creamed.

- Yeah, we are. Everyone's done.

The good news is is they

haven't seen Robbin and Chelsea.

Just making sure I get

every single thing off there

so we don't have to do it again.

Check?

I think we're finished.

Can we have a check?

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Detour.

"Scrape Off or Swap Out?"

- I say Scrape Off.

- Okay, let's do Scrape Off.

We are in the very back

of the pack,

which is a new feeling for us.

We are so far behind

it's not even funny.

Hopefully, we can just

get this done

and make up some time.

- "Marked parking. Must"

- Yeah, up there

to the right.

- Here we come!

- How are we feeling?

- We're feeling good.

- Hey! We're feeling.

- You feeling good?

- With this kind of view, how can you not?

- They are here. - Hey!

- Hey!

- Hey.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you for saying, yeah.

- Thank you.

Gorgeous country.

Johan and Greg,

what are you feeling?

Feeling one, but you never know.

I do have $5,000

- for each of you.

- Aah!

And it's not going

to the second place team.

It's going to team number one,

and that is you.

- Thank you. That's huge.

- Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

"You must be feeling like,"

"this final three is completely

in our grasp right now."

It feels like it's in our grasp,

but we just got to keep playing

the game that we're playing,

not make too many mistakes,

and hopefully, luck's

on our side a little bit, too.

Wondering if that's

another team.

- Which one did you guys do?

- They're both awful.

- We switched.

- Which one did you finish?

We started getting the buoys,

messed it up

and went to the other.

- They're hard.

- Yeah. All right.

We didn't use the Express Pass,

and we're still in it.

There's a team behind us,

so we're feeling good.

Time to rock.

Childbirth is harder

than all of this, I think.

- Nah.

- It's right up there.

I think The Amazing Race

is harder

than a natural childbirth.

I did it four times,

three without an epidural.

- You in the front or back?

- I'll be in the back.

Got it?

Baby.

Go, go, go, go. Go, go, go.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.

This is good work

for my kids, man.

I need to get my kids out here.

Where do we get the chains?

There's chains over here?

Wait. No?

You see any chains over here?

- Are those chains, babe?

- You mean hanging here?

We're like,

"Great. Where are the chains?"

So then I read the clue,

and I'm like, "Okay, well",

it says a platform."

So, on the other side,

there's this giant cement

platform in the middle of the..

"That's got to be it."

Thinking that's the platform

to get our chains?

We know where we're going.

Marina Portoroz.

So go follow that, right?

- Yeah.

- We are exactly where we're supposed to be.

Do you want to just hop out

and get 'em if they're there?

Geez Louise.

- Testing my patience.

- Come on.

Look on the floor.

- Right there.

- Those are holding, like, big tires.

Then this is not

the platform, Todd.

We need to switch

'cause we're not gonna find

- these stupid chains.

- So frustrating.

Todd, we are wasting time.

Just

I know,

but this could be something.

It's nothing, I'm telling you.

Todd, we are wasting time.

It's nothing, I'm telling you.

Apparently, there's chains.

We don't know where they are.

I don't know at this point,

but I'm getting,

like, super irritated.

Or do you think

it's where we got the kayak?

Ashlie had this,

like, great idea.

She's like, "Hey, maybe

the chains are on the platform

where we got the kayak."

They're right freaking there.

- Holy.

- All right, want me to grab out and get 'em?

- I found the chain!

- Todd, can we please

just hurry up? This isn't

the time to be, like

I found the chains!

- Two chains, baby.

- Todd, get in the boat!

- What are you doing?

- Having fun.

You're, like, celebrating

like we won the race.

- Little victories, babe.

- What victories?

We're in dead last.

- How about how about Phil's right there?

- There's Phil.

Where's the parking?

We b*at Steve

and Anna Leigh here?

Boy, did we?

Phil!

- Wait for us!

- Look at that.

- Yeah.

- Good job.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

Joel and Garrett, you

are team number two.

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

- Yes!

- My gosh.

Maria, what do you think

of his beard?

Feel free. Feel free.

Well, I guess

I guess we know

what she thinks of the beard.

I'm expecting,

after this challenge,

to be as buff

as Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

get down now!

It's like you're flossing

a dinosaur tooth.

Get the barnacles off!

- How cool.

- Look at these beautiful trees.

It's gorgeous.

Somebody planted these trees

hundreds of years ago

so we could enjoy them like this

right now.

That's kind of how I feel

about us on The Amazing Race.

Like, we're planting seeds

for our grandchildren

to see someday

what strong grandmas they had.

Not bad for 40.

Can we go through the bushes?

- Go through the bushes.

- I don't care.

- Come on, Dad!

- Dad's going

- the easy way.

- I'm coming, girl.

Steve and Anna Leigh,

you are officially team

number three here to the mat.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Anna Leigh and Steve

are on the mat.

Nice job, guys.

You, too. Thank you, thank you.

Rob and Corey,

you are team number four.

Plus, you have the Express Pass.

I don't know how to sign that.

Express Pass. Express Pass.

- Express Pass.

- I like that.

- We like that. We might adopt it.

- Okay.

Check.

- A really nice job..

- Thank you.

- You earned it.

- Yeah, we did. - Thank you.

- Right here.

- All right.

All right, we're headed back.

Yee-haw!

Detour.

- "Swap out two buoys and retrieve"

- Let's do that one.

"mussels from

a floating mussel farm

- "to retrieve your next clue." Okay.

- Yeah. Great. Sounds good.

All of these little activities

make loading my kids up

in the car to go to the beach

seem like a dream.

That's a lot of buoys.

- Hurry up. Just park.

- Find marked parking.

I want this day to be over.

- Thank you.

- Look at you. Hi!

Thank you. Look at you.

We're so far behind right now.

I have a feeling

we're either fifth or last.

Todd and Ashlie,

you're not going home.

Yeah. All right, sweetie.

- You're not going home.

- Sweetie. - I'm so glad.

Congratulations.

You're team number five.

Everyone that's here

has had a day in the back.

- Yeah.

- And so this is our day in the back.

- Yeah.

- So, I'm glad we survived.

Okay, let's go.

- Aah!

- We're almost there.

- Final stretch, girlfriend.

- Aah!

- Thank you.

- "Drive to the next Pit Stop,

"Socerb Grad,

and find Phil on the mat.

Last team to check in

will be eliminated."

Want to go for a swim?

- There you go.

- Hi.

It's chilly.

Before it gets

completely dark here,

Robbin and Chelsea, I do

have to tell you that you are

officially

the last team to arrive,

and unfortunately, you have

been eliminated from the race.

- All right.

- Thank you.

- Thank you. What a

- Kind of knew that, right?

Yeah, we knew that

about six hours ago.

Yeah.

Bad stuff happens to everybody,

and it's about

how you handle it.

And if I can

go from losing my husband,

getting a brain tumor

and being over 340 pounds,

and change my life completely,

then,

someone else

could do the same thing.

When your family

sees you on this adventure,

what are they gonna think?

My kids are gonna have

so much fun watching this.

And they'll see John and Greg

and they'll see Corey and Rob

and know we didn't

have a chance in hell.

The race is just another

notch in our belts,

- our friendship belt.

- It's kind of like a new foundation

for a more exciting friendship

going forward, too.

But I don't think

I want a break from my kids

- for a very, very, very long time.

- Yeah.

The only Detour I want to do

is vacuum the carpets and

Next time on The Amazing Race

the final five dive

into Stockholm

and tear through the city

with one goal in mind.

Let's get to leg 11.

So we're gonna have to go fast.

Any mistake

It's in French.

- Could be their last.

- I'm frustrated.

Come on! This is a footrace!

If you think you have what it

takes to win The Amazing Race,
