34x09 - Vamos a la Playa

[bunniefuu]

Previously on

The Amazing Race

Six teams raced

to Toulouse, France.

Luis and Derek's

bromance continued.

I gave him half a heart.

- Aw.

- And he gave me the other half.

Cute.

Marcus stumbled

at the Roadblock.

Emily fought through

her leg injury for her daughter.

Just thinking about my daughter

and just pushing through,

and I just

She's setting

a really great example.

Derek and Claire's

French-speaking skills

earned the dating couple

their second win of the season.

You're team number one.

Meanwhile, Aubrey and David

were tongue-tied.

"Aucunbuit."

- "Bruit."

- "Boit."

But Quinton and Mattie's

navigational problems

I want to get out.

Got to get out.

I don't think we're

supposed to go out this way.

knocked them out of the race.

Unfortunately,

you are the last team to arrive.

I'm disappointed, 'cause I know

what we are capable of.

All teams

are now making their way

500 miles, from the south

of France

to the south of Spain,

This ancient city

is known as a cultural hub,

with an abundance

of must-see monuments

and more than 30 museums.

The perfect place

for another Mega Leg--

two Roadblocks,

two Detours, in two cities.

The last team to complete

this leg will be eliminated.

"Route Info.

another Mega Leg.

Make your way on foot

to Plaza de la Merced"

"the birthplace

of Pablo Picasso

to find your next clue."

"We have zero euros

for this leg of the race."

Zero euros. Let's

do it, guys. Wow.

Okay. Good energy.

These steps-- no joke.

We're leaving

in the first group today,

and on a normal leg,

that would be a huge advantage.

But I have a feeling

those 15 minutes

are gonna just fly by so quick.

So today, it's just really

important we don't get lost

and we don't burn ourselves out,

'cause you never know

- what might be coming around the next corner.

- Definitely.

It's pretty steep up here.

It is pretty steep.

- Yeah.

- This is gonna be tough on Emily.

We're really excited

'cause we're in Spain today.

His family's from Spain,

and just to be top five,

to win the race

now seems attainable.

Now we're going

for the million, for sure.

Whoa!

- At least we get to look down.

- Gorgeous, mate.

- There's a pathway there.

- There's a pathway there?

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

- You didn't even look at it.

All right. All right, let's go.

That's what

I was trying to tell you.

- Yeah, we're good, guys.

- This is the right way.

Let's go, Spain!

Let's go right. Let's go right.

Watch out, the bus.

Oh, it's right here.

- Oh, guys, this might be it.

- The trees, right there.

Yeah, this is it. This is it.

Clue box, I see it.

"Roadblock.

Who Will Be

a Master of Pieces?"

It's estimated that

Pablo Picasso produced

a staggering

147,800 pieces of artwork

in his lifetime,

including this masterpiece,

Three Musicians.

Teams need

to correctly piece it together

using six panels

of painted glass.

Once they've brought

this prized painting to life

by correctly

aligning each panel

they can get a clue.

- You want to do it?

- Yeah, I'll do it.

- I'll do this.

- Michelle's doing it.

Uh, me llamoClaire.

I don't see a sample.

"Recreate one of Pablo Picasso's

greatest works

to receive a clue."

That's Picasso

on his bench, baby.

Let's do this.

Is there an example?

- You got this, Claire.

- You got this, baby.

I think they might

have to look at this painting.

Right now,

I'm opening up panels,

and I have

to recreate a masterpiece.

Um

So it's a puzzle.

Claire, do you see the example?

Uh, not yet. Okay.

I'm finding the example.

Oh, it's right here.

Do you see it, Claire?

Damn it!

We chose the furthest part.

I looked around.

I didn't see anything.

That's rough.

My strategy here

is to look for

very specific things

in the painting,

so I'm able to see,

like, a person.

But it's an abstract painting.

It's not like

they're clear pictures.

So sometimes it's just like,

"Oh, this brown blob

"goes in front

of the blue blob,

which is behind the black blob."

Um, okay.

Let's put this one

in the back.

- You got this, Claire!

- Keep moving!

Okay.

You got this, baby.

Good hustle.

Perfecto.

"Make your way on foot

to the Plaza de la Merced"

"the birthplace of Pablo

Picasso to find your next clue."

"Zero euros

for this leg of the race."

We are headed

to the Plaza de la Merced,

the birthplace of Pablo Picasso.

We're leaving in group two

with David and Aubrey

and Molly and Emily,

15 minutes behind group one.

I absolutely think

we have a chance to win,

not just this leg, but the race.

But all teams here do.

Everybody's kind of shown

that they can perform,

so I think today

it's gonna be about

performance at challenges.

This is a fun trip down.

These stones.

- To the left, to the left.

- They're going to the left.

It's a blessing

to be in the top five.

- Still here, still pushing, still in the race.

- Yeah.

Honestly, my competitive side's

gonna come out today, for sure.

I know at least

I've been holding back a little.

But now it's

coming down to the wire.

- All the teams are strong, so

- Yeah.

I'm not gonna say

claws are coming out,

but they're slowly creeping out.

Man, look at this view.

I can't even look at it 'cause

I'm afraid I'm gonna fall.

Man, this sucks.

I feel bad for Emily.

I need a second. Sorry.

This is, like

- This is k*lling me.

- It's okay.

Today is a Mega Leg,

and so there's going to be a lot

- of challenges coming up.

- We need to really

pace ourselves

because of my knee.

Probably going to have to endure

this for the rest of the race.

Hopefully

we make it past this leg.

Oh, this is not good.

Okay. You can take it slow.

You got this.

You just tell me

when to slow down.

Do you want to try jogging?

- Nope. Not yet.

- Okay.

Speed walking?

No, I can't. I can't even do that.

-Okay.

It's weird.

What would be the next one?

You got this, Claire.

They officially have

the two furthest

stations from the model.

- Yeah.

- That's not good.

This is tough.

- It's a lot of running.

- Yeah.

Apparently, I chose the

furthest station from the demo.

So I was running back and forth.

See if I could figure this out.

- Okay.

- You got this, baby!

And the actual pieces

to put inside the frame

were so heavy.

So I was like,

"I didn't know it was gonna be

a strength challenge, as well."

It's okay. I got my little

cardio in for the day, right?

Okay.

Um

Aw, man.

It's very hard to know.

I'll be right back.

- This way?

- Let's take a left.

Marcus and Mike, you got this.

Oh. Turn right here?

- This way.

- Oh, they're Oh, yes.

- Okay, we're good.

- "Who is

the Master of Pieces?"

- You got it. You got it.

- Me.

You good at puzzles?

- I-I can do it.

- All right.

They just got here.

Flip it.

Then we're gonna

to put it in next.

Oh, no, wait.

- You got this, babe.

- You can do it.

Let's go, Marcus!

Let's set this one right there.

Take your time. Be methodical.

So this is what

Picasso looked like, huh?

This can't be.

He's not missing an ear.

Not yet.

That's van Gogh. Got you.

This stone

is the death of me.

We knew you'd be hurting, right?

Yes. I knew I'd be hurting.

I didn't think

I'd be hurting this

soon after ripping the clue.

Okay, this one.

Damn. Wait.

Where does that go?

Oh, God.

Picassos, in general,

are all over the place,

different figures.

So it was just very confusing.

You got this, baby.

You got this, babe.

This is not easy.

It was

hot out. I think that was, like,

the hardest thing is, like,

sweat was

dripping down my face,

and, like,

I couldn't see. My mascara

was running.

I'm trying to figure out which

is going to go

first.

That's the last and the first,

and then I can figure out

the in-between.

You got this, Aubrey.

This the front?

Let me see it.

Be right back.

Come on, Marcus.

All right. Uh Check.

Oh, I'm nervous.

No?

Uh

- Are you getting it, or no?

- No, I didn't get it.

Yeah, it looks wrong.

I think

I have something flipped.

"Who Is the Master of Pieces?"

You are.

It's me.

Up to this point,

Molly has done five Roadblocks.

I had only done three,

because I was in bad shape.

And my knee

has definitely slowed us down.

So it's really important

for us to

get ahead in the challenges,

and I thought this is one

that I'm going to be able to do.

Okay, Em, I believe in you.

Oh, wow. These are heavy, huh?

- I feel so bad for her.

- She's feeling pain.

Um.

I don't want her to feel

like anything's all on her.

Oh, God. This is not good.

Oh, man.

Not good.

I just don't

want her to feel like,

if we go out today,

that it's her fault.

All right, Em, you got this.

I want this one

in the very back.

I think.

Wow, this is complicated.

You know, one second.

Let me just

Oh, man.

It is important for me

to continue this race

with my injury.

Being a single mom, I want to

show my daughter,

you know, perseverance,

confidence, having faith.

I mean, all those things

- matter in life.

- You got this.

Also, I'm fighting

for time. We have

just a few more legs left.

If I can

spend the next few legs

with Molly, it's extra time

before we have to go back to

work and our normal lives. So,

I'm a fighter.

I don't give up.

- Okay.

- You got this.

All right.

Think it's upside down.

Okay. This one.

You got this, Claire.

Looking quick. Looking speedy.

Flip it.

Just so I can visually see

- before I have to slide these in.

- Check.

I know you got this, baby.

Gosh darn it.

You got this, Aubrey.

Okay. Check.

It's okay, Aubrey.

You got this.

It's very tricky, visually.

What's going on here?

Um

That doesn't look right.

Can we switch, um,

the first two, I think?

Uh, check, please.

All right, Marcus. Let's go.

Check.

The first couple times,

the pieces are just, like,

the wrong way,

totally turned around.

Oh, I'm nervous.

And then, once I figure out

that brown has to be

in front of the white piece

I flipped two pieces,

and the artistic master

evaluates,

and I actually got it right.

Uh Ooh

Yes!

Muchas gracias.

Yes, Claire! I love you!

"Route Info.

"Travel by bicycle to El Cubo

to find your next clue."

-Okay. The port's gonna be that way.

-Let's go. Okay.

Claire got it. Oh, my God.

- Oh, wow. You did so good.

- Thank you.

Give me a high five.

There's something wrong.

There's something wrong.

I want

to move this one back one.

Blue is behind the red.

You got this, Aubrey!

Two is too far.

Okay, I think I got it.

- Check, please.

- Come on, Marcus.

Actually,

I'm not sure what's incorrect.

I got to take this out

and look at it again.

Can I switch one and two?

- One and two?

- One and two.

I feel like I'm getting it right

and it's not,

but it's just frustrating.

Right now, we're gonna go

get our bikes at the cathedral,

and then after that, we're

gonna keep going to the cube.

Here we are. Nice.

- Okay.

- Let's go.

- Ready?

- Yeah. How do you feel about it?

Let's at least get out of here

before we crash.

I've crashed a moped,

I've crashed a bike,

I've crashed a skateboard,

I've crashed

a scooter. So I think now,

I've come to the point

where I have, like, trauma.

We're off.

We're gonna go right and

then we're gonna make a left.

You got this, baby.

Damn. This is really hard.

Why? Why?

Why is this not working?

Oh, my God. Okay.

At the beginning,

the first thing I did

was put the last one. Like,

I knew what the last one was.

So I put that one in first,

and then

I decided to put what I thought

was the first one,

and then fill it in in between.

I just thought

maybe that would be easier.

Um, but I asked for a check,

and it was wrong.

So I decided to run back

and look at the picture.

And I had switched

the front two.

Yes. Yes.

- We got this, babe.

- Okay.

Can I switch one and two?

So, once I figured out

the first one

was actually the second panel,

then everything

started making sense,

and I was like, "Yes."

Check.

Please.

Please, please, please.

- Come on, Aubrey.

- Come on, Aubrey.

Give me the good news.

Give me the good news.

Yes!

Oh, my gosh! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

- Yes! Yes! Babe, I did it!

- Come on.

Good job. Good job. Let's go.

- Let's go, let's go.

- Okay, let's go.

Oh, you're kidding me.

I saw Aubrey leave.

Oh, my gosh.

I feel like crying.

And that's when I broke down.

I don't know why

it's not going together.

I couldn't figure out a way

to do it. I was kind of running

back and forth.

It didn't look like anything.

I kept switching them around,

and I-I was really defeated.

You got this, baby.

I love you, amor.

I'm sorry.

- No, don't say sorry.

- You got this.

It's okay, baby. It's okay.

- You can do this.

- Okay.

I was just like, "Okay,

you need to calm down, regroup."

Wait, he's playing backwards.

I think I got it.

I think I just

have it backwards.

Este

You can do this. You're almost

there. Just figure out

what's wrong.

Ay

Check!

Oh, my God, yes!

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Yes!

I got in my head.

This-this Roadblock

was hard for me.

- "Travel by bicycle to El Cubo."

- Okay.

There's the cube, Derek.

Oh, we found the cube.

Wow. I hated that.

Do you see the clue box?

- Right there.

- Nice.

"Detour.

Fish Fry or Sailboat Supply?"

sunny days a year--

one of the reasons that

the miles and miles

of beautiful beaches found here

are so popular.

And the most popular

gastronomic item on the menu,

espetos-- speared fish

grilled over an open flame

in a boat filled with sand.

Teams need

to skewer and roast

18 of them to perfection

to get a clue.

The Mediterranean

is bordered by 22 countries

on three continents--

Africa, Asia and Europe.

This port city

is a popular stopping-off point

for sailing vessels

to replenish supplies,

something that teams have to do

using a stand-up paddleboard.

This Detour

will be a balancing act

as teams attempt to deliver

a large cooler filled with ice

and eight life vests

to a yacht anchored offshore.

If they make it,

they'll get a clue.

Uh, we're gonna do Fish Fry.

-All right. Fish Fry. Let's go make some sardines.

-Okay.

- I'll go first, okay, Derek?

- Yeah.

I'm just gonna let this car go,

and then we go.

Let's go.

- Can I just walk my bike?

- No!

There's a lot of pieces

of the painting

that overlap one another.

So just trying

to understand the layers

and where everything sits has

been pretty difficult for me.

Come on, Em.

Come on, Marcus.

You got this.

I don't know why this is not

I'm so confused.

Why was that not right?

This is crazy.

It's all right. You got this.

What am I doing wrong?

Now it's just us.

We're waiting, Molly.

I don't know how to go

fast on this thing. I'm scared.

Come on, Derek.

This is giving me PTSD

to when I crashed my bike.

This is my fear

that I need to overcome.

Come on. Let's go.

- Derek, go! Derek!

- What?

You can't stop right there.

I'm right behind you. I'm sorry.

- I thought you were going to the right.

- I just don't want to hit you.

Can you just

Can you peddle, please?

What? Dude. Relax.

-I'm sorry. I'm just right behind you.

I'm just gonna lead, okay?

I think I'm just

a little bit more confident

-on a bike than you. I'm sorry I was yelling.

-Yeah, no, for sure.

I, like, get, like, a panic

att*ck when I'm, like, pedaling,

'cause I just, like,

picture in my mind crashing it.

But Claire's a speed demon

on this thing,

so I'm trying

to keep up with her.

I felt the pressure, because

with just five teams left,

if you're not

doing things flawlessly,

you feel like you're losing.

This is me running in Petra.

You can do it.

All right.

I'm gonna overcome my fears.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

We're bottom two right now.

It's almost there.

Confidence is growing.

Check, please.

Maybe this one

goes in the front.

- I just don't even know.

- Come on.

Come on.

- And it's a "No."

- No. Oh, man.

- Something's off.

- I just can't see it.

I'm sorry, Mike, man.

Hey. Don't think like that.

We're not even there yet.

I legitimately don't see it.

Okay.

Check.

Okay. Come on.

Please, please, please.

Please, please

- Yay!

- Thank you.

Muchas gracias.

Thank you so much.

All right, Em.

How's your leg feel?

You good to run?

It's not great, but it's good.

The mission

is to winThe Amazing Race.

You know, it's five teams left.

And winning matters.

So it's about securing

a good start for the final leg,

where we're gonna be

pushing to the final three.

Come on, Marcus.

- Come on, Aubrey.

- Right here, baby.

- It's right here.

- "Detour."

Babe, we've been

wanting to cook.

- I feel like we can cook.

- So let's cook.

We chose Fish Fry because

we figured it was gonna be

the first

of many Detours to come today.

So let's just save our energy

in case we need

to do something a little

bit more physical later on.

Let's cook.

Here it is.

Canta el Gallo.

- Oh, wow.

- Pull over.

Fish Fry, Sailboat Supply.

Uh, let me watch him.

Let me watch him.

Oh, that's gross. Sorry.

I respect your profession.

Season, salt-based style.

He salted one side

and then salts the other side.

All right, watch this next one.

He's interweaving

the sides of the spine.

Oh, good call.

Top, and then down and through.

Derek, he's flipping.

He's flipping them, Derek.

Uh, I've never

grilled fish before.

I've been vegan for five years,

so I haven't even eaten a fish

in the past five years.

And when I was not vegan, I

never cooked a fish in my life.

But Derek is a fantastic cook.

Derek is

the chef of our apartment.

He was the chef inBig Brother.

Should we start, Derek?

Oh, sh**t.

- I thought we didn't take

- Wait, Derek, no.

- Ours are over there.

- Oh, oh.

- God. Derek, take a breath.

- Take a breath.

- What?

- I want you to take a breath.

- Okay.

- Calm down.

I was like, "Let's just

grill these sardines."

You just have

to make three plates of them.

We watched the example.

- It's pretty quick when he does it.

- It's

You literally skewer six,

put it on,

flip it after two minutes

and you're done.

- So I was like, "This isn't hard."

- Yeah.

Easy peasy.

Just got to follow

exactly what he did.

He, like, comes in

from up top over the spine

and goes

down through the middle.

I'm not doing this right,

'cause my guts are coming out.

Clue box, right there.

All right.

"Fish Fry or Sailboat Supply?"

We're from Miami.

We've done paddleboarding.

The crazy part

is we practiced paddleboarding

before we went on the race.

Let's get in the water,

and let's destroy this Detour.

- Yeah.

- That's the plan.

Sailboat Supply. Let's go.

We're gonna

choose the paddleboard.

Let me just

take this in for a sec.

Wow.

There's gonna be an orange sign

that reads "Playa Palo."

Okay.

- And that's where we're gonna make a right, okay?

- Okay.

Ah!

I can't get over it.

We're in Spain!

- Aubrey, go, go.

- Go and let me go.

Okay, va.

Hey, happy thoughts.

-Yeah. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

-Be happy!

I'm enjoying this

more than I think you are.

- No. This is beautiful.

- Try to stay with me, babe.

We got to make up

as much time as we can.

Let's b*at some ass now.

Let's go.

Let's put it back.

Molly and Emily left.

And so it's just Marcus and I.

Last team here at the Roadblock.

- Let me see it.

- All right. One more time.

Check, please.

When we first walked up,

I asked him,

I was like,

"Hey, are you good at puzzles?"

- You good at puzzles?

- I-I can do it.

He said, "Yeah,"

and so I was like, "All right."

Now he's just

making mistake after mistake,

and he can't see it.

I-I have zero confidence

at this point.

- Check, please.

- Let's go, Marcus.

Come on. Come on.

Stay focused.

I-I have

zero confidence at this point.

When he said "no" again,

like, my confidence was shook.

Maybe number one is number four,

and maybe number four

is number two,

and anything goes.

I don't know what I'm missing.

Let's take the first one out.

I'm switching things

in the front, putting something

that was number one,

number three, and vice versa.

I'm switching things

all over the place.

I think I did this order before.

- Come on, Marcus.

- Let's go, Marcus.

And so, I was like, "All right,

"I'm-a take every one out

and do it again.

And this time, I'm gonna

build this rear to front."

I just got

to rearrange the whole thing.

Like, I keep-keep

getting it wrong. So I-I

Start from scratch.

Did you see

- El Cubo?

- No.

I don't want to pass it.

Where am I going?

Is that it?

Huh? El Cubo?

It's gonna be on our left.

Yeah, we need number five

or look for El Cubo.

Did we pass it?

- Okay, start a timer.

- He just flipped one.

- Please. And let's go over here.

- Okay, okay, okay.

- We're skewering these fish.

- Wait, don't say "we."

- You were skewering the fish.

- I'm-I'm skewering the fish.

I did not touch,

really, the fish at all.

I would love for Derek

to kind of skewer all of them.

Derek, I can salt them.

Uh

That's really my passion,

is salt.

Not so much fish.

Claire's giving me

moral support, uh,

and now we have our jobs.

Inverted side down.

- It doesn't matter.

- Both sides have to cook.

Uh, Derek,

you lost, you lost fish.

You lost fish.

You lost some fish.

What?

And it's all going smoothly,

but then some of the fish

- start falling off.

- Mm.

Are you sure

this is what he was doing?

So, the skewer's kind of

like a "V" shape,

and you want

to skewer it with, like,

the concave part facing up.

And we were doing it like this.

Uh, we didn't

realize what was going on,

but then

we went back to the example

and saw that

we had to flip it over.

Always go back to the example.

Oh, this is much better.

Before, when I was

doing it facing down,

the guts were coming out,

and the fish weren't sticking,

- but now you'll see it's, like, almost perfect.

- Here.

Do you want me

to go put it in, Derek?

Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

Inverted up. Yeah.

Start a timer for three minutes.

I'm mainly here

for morale right now.

I got the timer going.

Oh, I didn't salt it.

I'm stupid.

- Oh, okay.

- El stupido.

- We might just have to restart.

- No, no.

- Really a lot, Derek.

- Derek, a lot of salt.

One side. Other side. Beautiful.

Sorry. I should be on this.

Okay. My new job, salting,

watching the fish,

making sure they don't fall in.

I mean, that looks, like,

pretty damn good, I'd say.

- Claire.

- Okay.

Marcus just started over.

Taking everything out,

and then he's starting

to put it back in again,

but I think the frustration

and the stress has set in.

When I took

those panels out in the front,

I realized

I never switched the rear panel.

And that was

the first panel that I put in.

And when I looked at that

rear one, it was upside down.

Can we take this one out?

I think I might have

had it right with the other five

multiple times, but I never

changed this one the whole time.

And this one is upside down.

When I saw it,

my heart dropped,

because if I put that

very rear panel

in the right way up front,

I would have gotten

my clue on the first time.

Check, please.

- Come on, Marcus.

- Come on. Come on.

Nice. Let's do this.

Hey, don't stress yourself out.

This is a Mega Leg.

Plenty of time.

What's that next building say?

- 11. We passed it.

- Okay.

The navigation

when we get into cities,

we tend to miss turns.

There was still

one group behind us,

so it was just

a matter of staying in it

and being competitive

against Marcus and Michael.

Oh, my God.

We drove right by it?

- Man, we're making mistakes today.

- Ugh.

Este, right?

- East.

- Yeah.

Yeah, we're good.

I'm just really happy

that we haven't seen

Michael and Marcus

or Molly and Emily.

It's a long day. You don't

know what could happen.

We could catch up. I still think

we could get first this leg.

And we're ahead

of Marcus and Mike right now,

which is a good thing.

- We're on Amazing Race!

- Riding bikes in Spain!

- Oh, right here.

- Are these the bikes?

Yeah. Marked red

and yellow. I see 'em.

Come on, Marcus. Left?

Left, left, left.

We're trying

and find 5 Paseo de la Farola

to get to El Cubo.

We were excited to ride bikes

as a way to try

to close the distance.

It's a long leg.

Hopefully we got time.

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

I mean, I was excited because

I grew up riding

a mountain bike everywhere.

When I was eight,

I was out riding a bike.

I rode across the street,

I get hit by a car.

Went through the windshield,

and then, like, bounced off.

I had a cerebral hemorrhage

and hematoma.

I had to get life-flighted

to-to Akron Children's Hospital.

Go, go, go. Let's hit it.

Doctors said that I, like,

had a low chance of making it,

but, you know,

your boy's a fighter.

Your boy's a fighter,

hence I'm a fighter pilot.

Classic.

You think we can

go faster than this?

"Fish Fry or Sailboat Supply?"

- We got to do skewer.

- Fish Fry. Fish Fry.

We opted for

Fish Fry over Boat Supply

mainly because

of Emily's injured knee.

Here. I want you

to look at these roads.

I paddleboarded

down the Colorado River

with my daughter

a couple summers ago.

It would've been great

to have cooled off in the water,

but that was just

not in the cards for us today.

Here we go.

-It's right here. It's right here.

-Okay.

Park your bike, park your bike.

Yo!

- Yo, what's up?

- Hey.

We have to watch someone

demonstrate. Oh, it's this guy.

It looks like, at first,

he has them facing to the right.

Skewers up. There's six.

- Right in the middle of the sword.

- Two, four, six.

But we have

to prepare three plates.

You want to start with that?

- Can we?

- Yeah.

We lost a fish here.

Can I take this one off?

Take it off. It's done.

This is where

my Filipino side comes in.

I grew up in a Filipino

household, and my grandma

really loves sardines.

- Oh, this is disgusting.

- Here?

- Yeah.

- Ooh.

So I used to watch her, like,

fry it, pull the head off

and eat the fish.

I don't eat fish

because of that.

Ew, babe. All

right. Ooh. Let's go.

To see that today, I was, like,

flashing back, old

childhood memories, like PTSD.

- Ooh, hoo-hoo.

- Oh, my God, no.

- We are

- Upside down.

putting on little fishies.

Okay, Aubrey. Oh, my God.

We got one guy.

Oh, my God.

- Babe. Babe, it's fine.

- Poor fishies.

So we're just gonna get an extra

skewer going, just in case.

Aah! Oh, my God.

You got this, Aubrey.

Thank you, Derek.

Claire, how are you

holding up with this?

- I'm not.

- I'm doing all of it.

Just kidding.

I see paddleboards over there.

That has to be it, baby.

That has to be it.

I see, I see it.

This way.

- Hi, guys.

- Hey, dudes.

- Yo.

- Miami's here.

They're doing the other Detour.

Choose a stand-up

paddleboard with a pump.

Okay. These.

This is gonna be us.

I think we might

have to go over there.

- That's fine. We got this.

- Okay.

- This is a big-ass paddleboard, baby.

- Okay.

-Once we picked a paddleboard,

-It was so much fun.

we had to inflate it first.

And I'm there

pumping this thing,

-MICHELLE: On the beach.

is out there

cheering me on, like,

"Yeah! Go, go, go!"

You know, they weren't cheering

for the people cooking.

There's nothing

to cheer about there.

That's boring.

This is what firefighter

training is all about.

As a dancer, I present.

And he does the work.

We are skewering

the poor fishes.

I grew up around fish

my whole life, so it's

it doesn't bother me.

- Um

- Bothers me.

Honestly, you guys,

this is not, like, it for me,

but for a million dollars

Oh, my God.

Oh, I think that one moved!

- David, stop it.

- Just kidding.

That's gross.

I need to make my dad proud.

My dad's a fisherman.

So it's in my, it's in my genes.

This one's for you, Dad.

Derek, I think we have to plate

this or else it's gonna fall.

Okay, this one right here

- is probably done.

- Yeah, I think this one's ready.

- Oh, my God.

- Get the fatty ones.

- Get the fatty ones. Oh, okay.

- I am getting the fatty ones.

I'm just having a really

hard time with the texture.

- Yeah, get the solid ones.

- Wait.

They keep

falling out of my hand.

Whoo, it's hot.

You still feel like

we're on the right path?

- Yeah.

- Playa El Palo.

This is Playa Caleta.

What do you want to do?

I think we need to ask.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm looking for Playa El Palo.

You have to carry on here.

Like, uh, I don't know

how to say, uh, kilometer?

- Or Kilometer and a half?

- Kilometer.

- Okay. Like, another mile.

- Okay. Thank you.

Oh, my God.

I can't trust my legs.

You good? Don't hurt yourself.

Yeah.

Go faster.

Channel Michael. Fast.

Oh, it's over here!

Which one are you trying to do?

- I'm thinking Fish Fry.

- Same.

Oh, this one's nice and meaty.

Do you want me to do more

or should I just watch?

Babe, just do one more.

What I told you.

Yeah, yeah,

put on more than you need,

'cause they're gonna fall off.

- See? I told you.

- Yeah.

You guys seasoned with salt,

right?

- No.

- You didn't salt?

- No.

- The fish?

- You have to salt the fish.

- Oh, that makes

- so much more sense.

- You're good, you're good.

Here.

Do you want me to do it once?

I'll show you guys

how he salts it.

Derek, you are so sweet.

We absolutely adore you guys.

Today, he saved us, like

I can't

Words can't express.

You miss a step like that,

your whole Detour

goes to the trash.

This is why we absolutely

love Derek and Claire.

Hopefully that'll pay off later,

and they'll help us out with,

uh, the next half of this leg.

We are willing to help you up

until it's not helpful for us.

That's looking so good.

And then we're

gonna be cutthroat.

Ooh, I'm excited.

- Nice. Nice, good job.

- Beautiful.

Eight life jackets

and what else?

"One cooler full of ice

from the marked ice truck

"located

in front of the restaurant.

"You must deliver

all of your items at once

to the marked sailboat."

So I think the technique

is I'll hold the ice

and you paddle,

and then we'll

switch if you're tired.

- Okay. I think that's good.

-Yeah.

- Let's get the cooler.

- Oh.

Oh, you want to get the cooler?

Let's get the cooler.

Yeah, that's the ice truck.

That's the cooler.

It's not that heavy.

Where do we have to go?

- That boat over there?

- Yeah.

- All right.

- Okay. Eight, eight of these.

Yeah.

Let's attach

all of them together.

That's what I'm doing.

The waves are a little choppy,

but not that bad.

Looking good.

We got the ice.

All right, ready? Let's go.

Oh, let's go.

Ooh, that looks so good.

Okay. Let's check it.

- Okay.

- Check.

Uh, check.

Babe, this is not a good one.

It fell apart.

Where do you want me to put it?

- Over here?

- No, no, it's still okay.

Just let it, let it

- Right here.

- Right here. Keep going.

We're doing Fish Fry.

Oh, oh, I get to eat one?

- One.

- One?

- Mmm.

- Mmm.

Oh, delicious.

Mmm. Mmm.

- Ah.

- These-these are good.

Rico.

Oh, no, gracias. No, gracias.

- Oh, no? No?

- No? Okay.

- No, no, no.

- Good.

- Ah.

- Muchas gracias.

- Muchas gracias.

- Mega Leg.

- Mega Leg.

"Find the tour guide here

for your next clue."

Guys, just do what we said.

- That was it. That was it.

- Okay. Thank you.

Okay, which one

do you want to choose?

Close to the demo.

- This one?

- Yep.

We're on the Mega Leg.

Come on, Derek.

Come on, come on, come on.

Uh, Playa El Palo.

- Palo.

- Pl-Playa.

- Palo?

- Yeah.

- This way. Yeah.

- That way?

- Cinco.

- Cinco.

Gracias.

I absolutely just k*lled

our team on that Roadblock.

The plan right now is just

for us to catch up to somebody.

Let's do it, let's do it.

Let's go fast.

All right.

Let's go

- Hold it, baby.

- Yeah.

- You got it?

- Yeah.

I want to pass those big waves.

Watch out.

Big wave, big wave. Hold it.

You got it, you got it.

Go, go, go, go, go.

- One more big wave, baby.

- Okay.

Let's go.

Watch out, watch out.

Hold it, hold it.

It was very difficult

getting out there,

'cause you're

against the current first.

And the rules are

if you spill too much ice,

you have to go back

and get some more.

But we're in a race, and we want

to nail this the first time.

Wave.

Wave. Wave, wave, wave!

There was a moment there

where I almost lost the cooler.

Hold it. Hold it.

A wave just splashed us.

- Whoosh! And I'm just, like, the watercooler

- Heck yeah.

I felt like I was

falling for 30 seconds.

I was like this,

chasing the watercooler around.

I got it. Grab the board.

We got it. We got it.

We're good.

Okay.

- We almost lost the ice

- Yeah.

We almost lost it.

All right, I want you to come

forward and sit right here.

Okay.

There you go. Hold it.

Hold it nice and tight.

-Oh, my God! I can't do it.

-I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it.

- Ew.

- Okay. So which way do I do it?

Okay, so eyeballs

faced closest to here.

I think we're

getting a lot closer.

We just need

to get two more plates done.

When we take it off the grill,

do we need to pull them off

right as they're hot?

Well, let's go see.

I don't I'm not sure, babe.

Oh, God. I love you.

- Oh, this is actually

- Oh, that one's not good.

These look

professionally-cooked.

- Ours look amateur.

- Amateurly-cooked.

- He takes it right off.

- Those are hot, yeah.

Give it, like, a minute,

and then we'll

just throw 'em on the plate.

Why can't I get this

to go in nice?

Oh, that's so disgusting.

They don't even smell.

I can't do this.

This is so gross.

- Okay. I'll do it.

- No, no, no.

- Am I doing it right?

- I got it. I got it.

We got this.

We got past the worst part.

We practiced for this!

Is that them over there?

Right there.

Bien, bien.

Here we go. Mega Leg.

Choosing the hard ones again.

Going over there

was pretty stressful

because you just don't

want to flip over

and go back and start again.

I'm so excited!

- Yay!

Wait, I got it.

Bien. Ciao.

Gracias.

- Adios.

- Bye.

Oh, God.

These are so disgusting.

Okay, so here's a difference.

I grew up eating fish.

Emily did not.

She does not like fish.

- They're probably ready.

- That middle one is ready.

Looking good, guys.

- They look really good.

- Thank you.

Wow. Gourmet chefs, over here.

-I know.

I don't know

if I'd necessarily eat them,

but yeah, they look good.

Shall we try?

Check.

Go the other way.

Yeah!

- Where do we return it to?

- The ice cooler.

- Fully cooked.

- Good?

Uh-huh.

- Dad, this one's for you.

- Oh, my gosh.

Mmm.

- Eating fish in Spain.

Eat it. Quickly.

Great job.

- Gracias. Gracias. Gracias.

- Gracias. Gracias.

- Okay.

- Dad, this is for you.

- Good luck, ladies.

- Good job, guys. - Thank you.

Come on, babe.

- Gracias.

- Listo. Gracias, amigo.

Muchas gracias.

We got to find this.

Let's just go.

Okay.

Our fish fry skills

are not good.

I have never

cooked a fish in my life.

That one actually

does looks done, I think.

Not that one.

Oh.

I need you to watch the fire,

'cause they're overcooking, Em.

- Okay.

- These are all done now.

We can't use any of them.

I have trouble

with perfectionism,

and I think we probably

could have been out of there

faster had I not

thought the fish

had to come off perfectly

off the skewer.

Oh, no. Can't use that one.

- You think they're gonna see it?

- Yeah.

So I-I slowed us down

a little bit there.

Are Marcus and Michael here yet?

Marcus, right here.

We could probably

make up some time.

Guess we'll see

when we get there.

- Mega Leg.

- Mega Leg.

Wow.

Now you "whoo."

Ronda! Here we come!

Yeah!

- Emily and Molly have a chance.

- Yeah.

Michael and Marcus

are nowhere to be found.

Oof.

We're thinking it's good

to have some extras made,

so that way we don't start

this process all over again.

Oh, we didn't salt them.

- We didn't salt them.

- Oh

Just the girls. Okay.

There's Michael and Marcus.

Look, right here.

- "Fish Fry. Sailboat Supply." Fish Fry.

-Yeah.

- They're right here.

- Okay.

- He put six on one, and then he salted them.

- Six on there.

- And we're doing three of the skewers.

- Three.

Marcus and Michael

just showed up,

so we want to make sure we

get out of here soon.

We're just

trying to do exactly what

we think we saw the chef do.

I don't grill

a lot of fish of any kind.

It's mostly red meat.

- Okay.

- Check.

Let's just

do quite a few plates,

- so if we mess up, we got backups.

- Yeah. Yeah.

I think we're

gonna get a "no" on that.

It's not good.

He just tore our fish apart,

though.

- Oh, you got to be kidding me.

- Damn it.

The game today was

"just don't go out."

We knew we were

gonna be a little bit slower,

especially with

Emily's injury to her leg.

Marcus and Michael,

they have it all,

so we knew we really

couldn't give up any leads.

As awful as that sounds,

if we catch Molly and Emily

and if it comes down to a run,

obviously we're gonna

pass them, right?

Which sucks, 'cause, like,

they're a great team,

but, obviously, in order to stay

in the race, we got to b*at 'em.

We got to close the gap in

the challenge somehow, some way.

So hopefully we get this

in one try and get out of here.

Next time

onThe Amazing Race

Halfway done

with the Mega Leg.

Are we going the right way?

I'm really scared of heights.

I've never

put an earring on anybody.

Well, it's time you do it now.

- You got this, Claire. Come on.

- I hate this.

I hate this.

I hate it, I hate it.

I don't think I can do it again.

There's too much play,

then it'll collapse.

I'm so scared!
