09x07 - Herculean Effort for Some Herculean Dudes

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on The Amazing Race...

- Let's go.
- Let's do it.

Seven teams departed
from the ancient


Tempio Di Segesta in Italy

and drove across
the island of Sicily.


- Drive like you mean it, ok?
- Ok.

In Catania, Fran and Barry
panicked in the gridlock.


Calm... down.

This is a disaster.

I can't believe we did this.

Total disaster.

Eric and Jeremy and B.J.
and Tyler surged ahead,


lugging 35-pound swordfish
through the streets.


Oh, my gosh,
it's puking on me.

That's a big-a fish-a!

While Monica broke
down over the task.


Oh, God!

- Joseph!
- What do you want?

It's the worst thing
I've ever done.

On the Roadblock,
Lake taunted Michelle.


You got to throw it
now, come on!

Lake, it's harder
than you think!

Oh, man,
why didn't I do this?

Dang it.

Then Dave and Lori bickered...

Can we please
just ask somebody

instead of running
around like chickens

with our heads cut off?

I can't believe
you're doing this to me.

I'm glad that you're being unilateral
in the decision making.

...and quickly made amends.

- Lori.
- What.

- Is this not fun, or what?
- It's awesome.

But their support
for each other...


Good job, baby.

Let's get a jog on.
Come on, Lori.

...couldn't save them
from last place.


I'm sorry to tell you, you have
been eliminated from the race.

He's my everything.

I hope she thinks that
because I love her to death.

Now, six teams remain.
Who will be eliminated next?


Subtitulado y sincronizado por: TwiNe

This is Siracusa, Italy,
on the island of Sicily.


Founded by the
greeks in 734 B.C.,


it was once the most powerful
greek city in the mediterranean.


And in the midst of this
historic place, Fonte Aretusa.

This natural spring
was the sixth Pit Stop

in a race around the world.

Teams arrived here
at the end of the last leg


for a mandatory rest period.

Will Lake and Michelle's
emotions continue to boil over


and hurt their team's
performance?


And will B.J. and Tyler's
carefree ways


keep them on a winning path?

Eric and Jeremy, who were
the first to arrive at 10:33 AM...


will depart at 10:33 PM.

Nice tear.

"Take a train to Rome, Italy."

Teams must now travel 350 miles
by train and ferry to Rome.


There, they will find
the famed Trevi Fountain


and search for the man with
the yellow and red scooter


to receive their next clue.

Come on, this way.

We've got tickets in here.

On the 8:00 a.m. train to Rome.

We're here to race,
and we're here to win.


You can't be too serious about it.

It's more fun if we just
tease ourselves all day


and make each other laugh.

Let's find out
where this bitch is.

"Take a train to Rome, Italy."

Andiamo!

We are having
a really good time.


We're as intensely in the
game as the other teams,


but we also are trying
to keep positive attitudes,


good senses of humor.

And it's kind of helped us
to get to where we need to go.


Cool!
We're going to Rome!

This race at times makes
me feel like I'm going crazy.


One minute, we're at
the top of our game,


then the next minute, I'm...

bawling and freaking out.

And there's always
that fear that


someone is just gonna
come racing past you,


and that fear really makes
you very emotional.


Oh, it smells like
dead fish in here.

"Once there, make your way
to the Trevi Fountain."

Let's go.
Oh, the train station.

Fran has more mental
toughness than anyone I know.


She's really a rock.

I couldn't do it without Fran.

This is it, trains.
Park in the lot.

Nice.

It's not even open now.

What time does the station open?

- 4:00.
- 4:00 a.m.?

We have to get to Rome.

Tomorrow at 8:00.

Is there anything
earlier than 8:00?

No.

Look, the station sign
is right there.

Oh, perfect.

What's the story, ladies?

- It doesn't open until 4:00.
- Bummer.

- 8:00 is the earliest train.
- So we're all together.

"Search for the man with
the yellow and red scooter."

Let's go, baby.


With Lake, you just don't
give up on anything,


no matter what
you fight about.


Nothing that we've ever
done on the race


has affected our commitment
to being a team.


Let's see where we're going.

You got the directions?

You didn't hand it to me.

You were gonna hold
the piece of paper

with the directions on it.

After you handed it to me,
which you never did.

It's your fault this time.
So you can just--

It's my fault because you
didn't pick it up, yeah.

I mean, i don't know
what else you want.

- I didn't get it.
- It doesn't matter.

You didn't hand me
the damn piece of paper.

Or the son of a bitch
would be on me.

It was a big mistake
on your part.

You never handed it
to me, bitch.

Now shut up!

I didn't make a mistake
this time, Lake,

but I'm gonna take the blame
because I usually do.

All right.
Let's go.

And hope this don't
k*ll us right here,

this little thing
we got going on.

Hey, B.J., what up?

This isn't even open right now.

- It's right here.
- And there's B.J.

Hey, guys.

"Make your way
to the Trevi Fountain."

Yeah!
We rolling.

After being on the
brink of elimination,


we don't have room
to make mistakes.


We're in the back
of the pack now.


Now we have to play the
game from the bottom up


and take out one
team at a time.


Ok, I see it.

- Everybody has come here?
- Yeah, everybody is here.



Yolanda and them are behind us.

But that's not gonna matter now.

I think he's bipolar.

This is it right here.

There's the frat boys.

We haven't seen you guys in so long.

You guys are hanging in there.

All teams are now
traveling by train and ferry


to Rome, Italy.

Let's roll.

Let's get a taxi.

Let's take a cab.

Metro, metro.
Andiamo.

- Go.
- Metro.

- Stairs right here.
- Trevi Fountain?

Taxi?

Taxi, taxi, Trevi Fountain.

- Trevi Fountain.
- Trevi Fountain.

Fast is good.

"M." isn't it "M" that we're taking?

"M,", metro.

Metro?

- Here?
- Right here.

- Metro "A"?
- Yes, "A."

- Everybody's here.
- Fran and Barry.

- B.J., Tyler.
- What up?

This is not the right spot.

- What are you looking for?
- The train to Trevi Fountain.

You have to take the metro
over there, downstairs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're headed to Trevi
Fountain to look for scooter.

Right here?

Look at this guy right here.
There, yeah.

Got some stuff for us?

Get it on!

Route Info.

Teams must now make
their way less than a mile


and search for
the horse carriages


near Rome's famous Spanish Steps.

Once there, they will
find these portfolios


and look inside
for their next clue.


"Keep the contents with you."

- Do I open this?
- I don't know.

- I don't know.
- Keep that with you.

In the spirit of the upcoming
movie "The davinci code,"


teams have been given a parchment

that contains one part of
Leonardo da Vinci's


famous vitruvian man.

They'll find the other
parchment at the next clue.


The first team to put
these pieces together,


cr*ck the code,
and bring it to the Pit Stop


will win a prize.

I don't know what
the hell this is.

Let's figure it out later.

Spanish Steps?
So we just take that up there.

Oh, my god,
this is so fun.

This is cool, isn't it?

I've wanted to come
here my entire life.

- There's the fountain.
- Wait, we'll be back.

- Red an yellow scooter.
- Yep.

- Oh, my god.
- Check it out.

There he is!

Thank you.

"Search the horse carriages for
a black leather portfolio."

"Spanish steps."

Right here, go to
the left, 100 meters.

- Go.
- Fontana di Trevi?

Fontana di Trevi?
Fontana di Trevi?

Fontana di Trevi.

- Here's the sign.
- Footrace!

There it is.

Grazie, grazie.

Trevi Fountain.

Thank you.

"Search the horse carriages..."

"...between the spanish steps..."

"...for a black leather portfolio..."

What do we got in the envelope?

It's Da Vinci's something man.

Naked is what it is.

Come on, let's go.

You still have the envelope?

Spanish Steps, come on.
Let's go this way.

Just can't lose 'em,
'cause we won't know our way.

Trevi Fountain.

- Yolanda!
- Thank you.

"Search the horse carriages
for a black leather portfolio."

Spanish Steps?

Over there.

This must be them.
Here we go, Jer.

"Fly to Athens, Greece."

Teams must now fly 665 miles

to the capital city of Greece: Athens.

Here in the heart of this great
city is the ancient Agora.


On the grounds of
this old marketplace


is where teams will
find their next clue.


"Combine the two
images to cr*ck the code."

It'll say something.

Try to flip it, man.

"You cracked the code."
Nice work, bro.

"The first team to the Pit
Stop with this solution

wins the prize."

So we just got to
remember to bring this.

Go, go, go.

Airport international?

- Look at this.
- Oh, my god.

To walk in the same
places as Caesar

and all those people
is incredible.

Look for the carriages.

Yeah, yeah,
here we go.

- Right here, right here, right here.
- Stop, stop, stop.

Yes!
This is it.

Read it.

"Find the ancient Agora."

- Airport.
- Where are the carriages?

There's the Spanish
Steps right here.

- Here they are there, Michelle. See them?
- Ok, yeah.

- "Fly to Athens, Greece."
- "Find the ancient Agora."

"Find the ancient Agora."

"To cr*ck the code."

This over this.

It's Da Vinci's...

I just read "the Da Vinci code," too.

"You cracked the code.

The first to the Pit Stop with
this solution wins the prize."

- Good job, man.
- That's it.

We need to get to the airport.

- Taxi?
- Airport.

Yoga.

Taxi.
Airport.

Oht, those are the steps.
Oh, wow.

- There we go, here.
- You found it?

- "Fly to Athens, Greece."
- Taxi!

Airport, right?

Downtown Rome,
I saw a lot of shops.

I'm gonna have to come
back and buy something

after I win this million bucks.

International.
That's good.

Departure.

Okay, thank you, sir.
There's the guys.

We need to get on the first
flight into Athens tonight.



- Thank you very much.
- Thank you, sir.

We need two tickets to Athens.

Grazie.

There they are.
Hey, guys.

Hey, what's up?

- Ok, thank you.
- We need two tickets to Athens.

There they are, right there.

- Oh, yes.
- Gratzi.

Can you check all
the flights for me

to go to Athens, Greece, tonight?


This is the only flight.

- Ok, book it.
- Ok, perfect. Thank you.

Grazie.

We need the fastest
flight to Athens, Greece.

- You're all set.
- Oh, thank you so much.

Bye-bye.
Take care.

We need two tickets to Athens,
Greece, the next flight available.

- 7:25 PM.
- Yeah!

All teams are now
flying To Athens, Greece.


Taxi.

Ancient Agora.
Quickly, we're in a big hurry.

- We were the first ones out.
- We're feeling pretty good.

We got the yellow benz.
Y'all see it.

We're headed to Agora Antiga,
so it's the ancient marketplace.

- Ancient Agora?
- Ok, yeah.

Ok.

We're excited to be here.

This is where thinking began,

and the great philosophers
are all from here.

Pass 'em on the high side.

- Ray and Yolanda.
- I don't get that.

They're just all business,
all about the race,

all the time.

Who is that?

- Ah, MoJo.
- MoJo?

Yeah. I'm not sure there's
a lot going on there.

Antiga Agora?

Do you know where that is?

- Surely he knows where to go.... Agora.
- He knows, he knows.

Arqueo Agora?

Wrrrn, wrrrn, like that!
Like that!, yeah!

Taxi-doodle-doo!

Ancient Agora?

Does the Agora not
open until morning?

- Yes.
- It's closed?

- Yes.
- Agora, Shmagara.

There it is.

Open 8:00.

- Where's the clue box?
- It's got to be around here somewhere.

Follow the Frats.

Yeah, baby!

We should just let them go find it.

I just can't run.

It's up here.

Go, go.
That's it.

Fast Forward.

This is the first of only
two Fast Forwards

hidden on the entire race.

The first team that finds
it and completes it

can skip all tasks and go
directly to the Pit Stop.

Each team can use
the Fast Forward only

once during the race,
so they need to decide when

it's most advantageous to go for it.

In this Fast Forward,

teams must travel on
foot less than one mile

to this popular restaurant

and take part in the
traditional greek method

of warding off
mischievous spirits:

plate breaking.

Teams must break plates until
they find this yellow and red

route marker baked into only
one of the hundreds of plates.

The first team to find
this special plate

will win the Fast Forward award.

- Do you want to try it?
- We should do it.

"Make your way over to
the neighborhood of Plaka."

It's down here, baby.
Come here.

"Travel by train to AG.
Anargini railway station."

Teams must now travel
by train more than 70 miles


to the city of Corinth

and exit the train
at the Isthmos station,


where they'll find
their next clue.


What do you wanna do,
the Fast Forward?

Let's do the regular route marker.

Ok.

Fast Forward.

"Break plates till you find
the Fast Forward."

Let's run, let's go
get the Fast Forward.

- "Travel by train..."
- "...into the city of Corinth."

There is a Fast Forward.

- Do we go for the Fast Forward?
- Yeah, let's try it.

Ask this car right here.
Right here, right here.

We need to find
the Stamatapolons Tavern.

Straight ahead on the right.

Do you know where
Stamatapolons Taverna?

Three block over is
Stamatapolons Taverna.

- Ok, great.
- Anargini Train Station?

I'd rather take my
chances in a taxicab.

- This is where the buses are.
- Maybe we should go to the bus station.

Get us up here?

B.J. and Tyler.

Ray and Yolanda, we think
we can take this one.

Anargini?
Hey! He says ok.

Thank you.

This has got to be it, man.

All right, go.
Break!

Is this it?

Yeah!
Let's go!

Pick up the pace.

Make sure you break them.

Got it, got it!

Grazie, grazie.

- Damn it.
- All right, let's go.

All right, come on.
Right this way.

God, we've got the crappiest luck.

Fast Forward.

"Drive yourself to the next Pit Stop."

Having won the Fast Forward,

Eric and Jeremy may
now skip all tasks


and go directly to the Pit Stop,
the Fortress of Rion.


A 14th-century stronghold
on the Greek Coast.


We got to find a car.
It says drive yourselves.

Right there. A marked car.

That was so awesome.

Dang, dude.
I cut myself up good.

- Right in here, right?
- Yep.

It's here.

Fast Forward taken.
Let's go.

Damn.
We got to get a taxi.

All right, baby.

We need tickets to Corinth.

All right, let's go.

Corinth?
This is it, Michelle.

Where in the hell
is everybody else at?

See if we can get right on the train.

Should we buy tickets right here?

- Buy them on the train.
- There they are.

Either the other 3 teams are
competing for the Fast Forward,

or they're lost in ancient Athens,

and may the gods help them.

Go, go.

- We're out of it.
- No, we're not.

Anyone speak english?

- Taxi!
- Taxi, taxi, taxi!

Agi railway?

Taxi!

No one wants to pick us up.

We're out of it.

Damn it!

Go, go.

- We're out of it.
- No, we're not.

Railway station?

It's not far if you take the bus.

Thank you, sir.

You're not helping matters
out by being down.

I mean, if we get there last,
we get there last.

Lift up your spirit
before I get pissed.

- Right up here.
- Right up here.

Taxi!

I can't run to the clue box
as fast as the other teams.

We can't run to the taxi
as fast, so we fall behind.

It sucks.

Come on, baby.
Right up here.

Do you think that's the terminal?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay.

- We need tickets.
- To Isthmos in Corinth.

Look, it's gonna be ok.

It's fine if I get upset,
that's what i do.

I cry all the time.

Should be coming close.

- Oh, yeah, there it is.
- There's MoJo.

- It's not over, we're in the hunt.
- It's not over, we're in it.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, guys.

Tickets to Isthmos station?

We were really excited
when Fran and Barry

walked into the train
station because, you know,

we know we can b*at them.

Wow, this is so beautiful.

This is cool, we can
finally see Greece.

This is not near as
pretty as Italy, huh?

Let's go, guys.

Where's the clue box?

It's got to be around
here somewhere.

Is this Isthmos station?

- No.
- We've done something wrong.

You want to go this bus.

- I need tickets to Isthmos.
- There are bus tickets, sir?

Yes.

The bus is the fastest way.
Apparently it's very close.

We were supposed
to stay on the train

until we get to
Isthmos station.

It says nothing about a bus.

I hope this doesn't
screw us up because--

It's not gonna
screw us up, damn it.

Don't curse at me.

So they caught the 8:55,
and we caught the 9:35.

Only 40 minutes behind.
anything could happen.

Is this Isthmos, ma'am?

- It's over there.
- It's over there?

Yes!

Is that the station across the street?

It says "R.R. station" over there.

Here's the station.

- Come on, buddy.
- Come on.

Let's go, baby.

Roadblock.

"Who wants to hear the
sound of their own screams?"

A Roadblock is a task that
only one person may perform.

In this Roadblock, that person
has to walk out onto this bridge

and bungee jump 240 feet
into the Corinth canal.

Once they've completed this
potentially frightening task,

the bungee master will
give them their next clue.

I'll take it.

- My turn?
- It's your turn.

- Me, I guess, I said i'd do it.
- You got to do it.

- There it is.
- Yeah, right here.

Wow, I've never bungee
jumped before.

Canal's middle bridge.

- Where's the Corinth canal?
- See it over there?

Right here, baby.

One. Yeah.

- Who will jump?
- Me.

It's right here.

- All right, let's go.
- Take the number.

Bungee jump, please.

They're going
inside the box there.

Go!

There it is.

- Roadblock.
- It's a Roadblock.

- I'll do it.
- Ok.

"Perform a 200-foot bungee
jump to the Corinth canal!"

I'll do it.

"Perform a 240-foot bungee
jump into the Corinth canal."

Oh, I didn't want to do it!

Oh, yay!
Go for it, baby!

Ok, babe, let's go.

- Great, follow them.
- Come on, Joseph.

There it is, there it is.

- Who will jump?
- She is.

There's the number, Fran.

- I will jump.
- Ok.

Oh, everybody's together now.

I did not want to bungee.

I'm very scared.

Oh, sh**t.

Aw, it's not that bad.

It's good that you're
the one who's doing it.

- All right.
- All right, baby!

When you tell me
you're ready,

we count back from
three, two, one, jump,

and you just dive off.

- Okay.
- All right?

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

Ready.

Three, two, one, and jump!

All right, Ray!

- I'm like Superman.
- You've got it, baby.

Ah, Lord.

He's got to bring me up.
I've got to go win this race.

You did good.

Here is your clue.

Detour.

In this Detour, teams have to
choose between two activities

rooted in ancient greek mythology:

Herculean Effort
or It's All Greek To Me.

In Herculean Effort,

teams must drive to this


and complete three events from
the ancient olympic games.


One team member must throw a
discus at a competitive distance,


while the other must
make a competitive distance


with the javelin.

Then both must take on
a professional wrestler


and push him outside
a 20-foot circle.


When all 3 events are completed,

they'll receive their next clue.

In It's All Greek To Me,

teams drive to the
same Ancient Stadium,


enter an archaeological site,

and search a specific
section for the 9 pieces


of pottery shard that have
greek letters on them.


With the help of these spectators,

they must translate the
greek letters to english


and put them in an order

to spell out a
location on this map.


Then they'll receive
their next clue.


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

Herculean?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

She's a track star so...

I think we'll be fine.

"Choose a marked car."
I see them, baby.

We'll get this one.

We've got to go to the...
oh, I see, right here on this map.

So we need to
go towards Argos.

- Ttow!
- Ttow!

- Are you ready?
- I'm ready.

Three, two, one, jump!

Yeah!
Whoa!

Whoa!
That is fantastic!

I can get addicted to this.

He did great.

- Whoa.
- Let's get going.

- All righty.
- Thank you.

Herculean!

Herculean it is.

- Let's go, buddy.
- Let's go.

Dude, we're gonna
compete in the olympics!

Yes! olympics!
I love olympics!

Whoo!
I like it!

Great!

- Drive to--
- It's just before .... straight ahead, right?

Yeah, I think so.

You got it, babe.

Three, two, one and jump!

Yeah, baby!

- Good job, baby.
- I did it, I'm done.

- Detour.
- All right, we got to do Herculean.

Let's go get our car, let's go.

I used to throw the discus.
I think I can throw a javelin.

- Are you ready?
- Yes.

Hands out.
Hands out.

Come on, babe.

Three, two, one, go!

Oh, my god!

- Oh, my god.
- This is awesome!

Oh, my god.

Was that a rush?

- You have no idea.
- Good job, babe.

- How was it, Mo?
- It was so fun!

Fran, it's such a good ride.

- Frannie.
- It's so awesome.

We love you.
You'll be fine.

God, I'm so scared.

Don't think about it.
Just do it.

- Okay.
- Ok?

We're on Detour!

Mo, are we doing the
javelin and discus?

- I think we should do that.
- Ok, let's roll.

Across the bridge.

Let's get in a car
and get warm.

Go towards Argos.

- Oh, my god.
- Don't look.

- Oh my god, I'm so scared.
- Fran, go do it.

All right, I'm ready.

Go.

Oh, god!

I know she's really nervous.

This is the one thing
she didn't want to do.

What am I doing?

It's pulling me.
It's pulling me.

- Yes.
- Oh, my god!

- Relax.
- Go, baby!

- Come on, you got it!
- Oh, god.

- Do you want to go?
- I'm so scared.

I'm scared.
Oh, god, oh, god, I'm scared.

- Oh, god, I'm scared.
- She's really nervous.

This is the one thing
she didn't want to do.

- Ok?
- Yeah.

- Do you want to go?
- Yeah.

Ok, 3, 2, 1, go.

Way to go!
Way to go!

Oh, my god!

Oh, god.

She was the best, wasn't she?



Oh, Barry, that's
the most scared

- I've ever in my whole life been.
- I know, you did it.

Ok, let's go.
We got to get the clue.

- Here's your clue.
- Thank you very much.

- Detour.
- Detour.

- Come on.
- Let's go.

We're going to do
It's All Greek To Me.

We need Nemea.

- Here it is.
- Through Argos.

That bungee jump.

I don't even know what
happened, quite frankly.

I am just glad it's over.

Right here, sugar?

Haven't even had a
chance to open the map,

and it's all in greek.

You've got to be kidding me.

Baby, damn it.

Screwed us right off the bat.

- Stop right here and ask.
- Shut up!

Quit yelling at me like
I did something wrong,

because I didn't.

Well, let's focus on everybody
yelling and all that.

That's a good thing
to focus on.

Well, you yelled at me first.

Don't curse at me.

I just got through doing
something that was very hard.

- It's fine.
- Take the map and ask them.

Damn it!, don't be
an idiot right now!

Don't be crazy now!

You're gonna fall apart right
when the pressure gets tough?

We need to get to Nemea.

Go to the new highway.

Ok, 500 meters,
we're gonna turn left.

Follow the green signs to Argos.

Looks like some fort
stuff up here, maybe.

- There's some signs.
- Yeah, Rion Fortress.

- Rion Fortress.
- Yeah.

Find marked parking.

Let's jog it in.

Nice.

Let's not fall off this, all right?

What's up, Phil?

- Welcome to Greece.
- Thank you very much.

Eric and Jeremy,

you are team number one.

Nice work, brother.

- That's two in a row.
- We got something for you.

So you brought Leonardo da
Vinci's Vitruvian man for me?

You cracked the code.

First team to the Pit Stop.

Hand that over to me.

All right.

Well, as the first team to
bring in Leonardo da Vinci's

famous drawing, you guys will be
walking down the red carpet

at the theatrical premiere
of "the da Vinci code,"

which is scheduled to be
released worldwide on may 19.

Nice, brother!
We're going to Hollywood.

We're pretty excited
to go see the premiere


of "the da Vinci code."

It'll be our first red carpet event.

Yep, so we're feeling
like celebs now.


Yeah.

Sign up here.

- Ancient Stadium.
- Yeah.

Oh, Herculean Effort, this way.

I see it up here.

You have to choose a guy.

Ok?

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

I don't know why
I'm not getting it.

Good sh*t, good sh*t.

I'm going to tell
you how to throw.

Are you sure we're
going the right way?

This doesn't feel right.

We just should have stopped
and made sure of the directions.

We have to ask somebody.

We don't know which
way we're going.

That's the problem.
We can't read greek.

Baby, did you listen
to anything she said?

How in the hell are we gonna
b*at good teams when we can't--

Why can't you get
the f*cking directions?

I'm the one who thought
to get a map, not you.

You did good on that.

Well, then, shut the hell up.

Ancient Stadium.

Park right here.
I see it.

Ray's out there
throwing the thing.

You can do that.

Come on, baby,
another team's here.

It's, like, sideways.

Babe, don't worry about them.
You can do it.

You can do this.

Try again?

Throw it straight.

Yes, yes!

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

So we have to wait.

Oh, lord.

- So now it's MoJo's turn.
- You can do it, babe.

Damn it.

I'm glad I didn't pick this one.

- Ancient Stadium.
- Ancient Stadium.

To the right.

Once there, translate a
greek word into english.

We just pick up


- Here's an "A."
- Oh, I see.

I thought it was going this.

Oh, here's a "T."

- Are you looking at every one?
- No.

There's one there.

I don't know if that's
the one we want, though.

Ok, this is one.
How many do you have?

- 6.
- And I have 3.

That's 9.

Now we have to put them
into an english word.

Ancient Stadium to the right.

I tell you what,
I'm feeling pretty good.

Good job, baby.
Good job.

Let's walk up here and see first.
Let's see what this is.

This may be the
greek letter thing.

This is not the one
you want to do.

Let's do it, we are here.

We're looking for 9 artifacts
with greek letters on them.

There they are laying out there.

See this piece?
It's got an "M" on it.

- It's got an "A."
- This one here got an "A" on it.



I got "H", another "H."

- We've only got one to go.
- Here's one right here.

- 9?
- A delta.

Hell, yeah!

Get them, we got to bring them in.

And we got to translate
them, come on up here.

Oh, my god.
Where are we?

There's a gas station up ahead.

There's a lot of people here,
so just ask as many as we can.

You are going the
wrong way, this way.

Oh, my god.

Ok, thank you very much, thank you.

Oh, my god.

I should have double checked.
I should have triple checked.

How far away are we?

We have to go
all the way back.

- We just lost an hour.
- We lost two hours.

This is it, we're done.

We're officially two hours
behind all the other teams.

I am so sorry.

But all we can do now is
just hope it's non-elimination.

All right, man?

You've got it, baby.
Launch it, baby.

Ok, you are getting close.

Yes!, you're fine!

Yes!
Ok.

Good job, baby.
That was awesome.

Don't worry about them.
You can do it, baby.

Man!

The men dressed in togas.

Translate a greek
word into english.

- Hello?
- "I."

- ¿"I?"
- That's an "I"?

Ok, then we have to go
over here for this one.

What is this?

- "M."
- "M."

- It must be an "S."
- "S."

- Yeah, we have an "M."
- "M."

- An "I."
- "A."

We have a second "I."
We think that's "D."

- "M."
- "T."

"S."
We have a second "A."

Where's that map we're
supposed to have?

Here the hell it is.

Get your ass up here, let's go.

- Here's a map right here.
- Good.

Ok.

I can't believe Barry and Fran.

I'm thankful to see them.

- Are you kidding me?
- They're just better than us.

Shut up!

So I've got this frog
hat on for rain...

and for good luck.

I'm gonna wear this hat
to help us get through.

That's right.

This is the wrestling.

Oh, my god.

You have to take him
out from the circle.

- Ok?
- Ok.

- Oh, my god.
- I can't get him out.

- Is he out?
- Congratulations.

Thank you.

This is the clue.

Thank you.

"Drive yourselves to
the next Pit Stop."

Teams must now travel


and find the Fortress of Rion,

built alongside
the Gulf of Corinth.


This 14th-century stronghold is the
Pit Stop for this leg of the race.

The last team to check in
here may be eliminated.

- "Hurry, the last team--
- "to check in may be eliminated."

Right, right, right.

This is the way, right?

This is so confusing.
I guess, I don't know.

Let's just go ask for directions.

You can do it, you can
do it, baby, come on.

- Yes!
- All right.

Ah!, finally got it.

You have to choose a wrestler.

Thank you.

Ok, stop, stop.
Very good.

"Drive yourselves to
the next Pit Stop."

We just got b*at by MoJo,
which is a big no-no.

- Two other teams are here.
- Ok.

Excuse me.

Do you know where
the Fortress of Rion is?

- Patra.
- Thank you.

Patra.
I see a Patra.

It has to be 9 letters.

- Two "A's."
- Two "I's."

It's not that, it's not that.

"New York Times"
crossword puzzle?

This may be harder.

"A"?

Alpha.

- Alpha.
- Alpha?

You got to ask
somebody different.

- "H"?
- "I."

- "I"?
- Ok.

- Sigma.
- Sigma.

Thought that's
what that was, sigma.

Ok, another "H."

Two "H's" and an "A."

- Are we sure this was nu?
- Shh! shut up.

I'm making sure we got
the letters right.

If we get 8 out of 9 letters,
we won't find the right word.

Damn, this is hard.

"D" here, Dimitsana.

- This has all 9 letters.
- That could be it.

Ok.

Dimitsana.

Great.
Thank you.

"Drive yourself to
the next Pit Stop."

- Let's go.
- Ok.

They found it, so we've
got to figure this out.

"D," two "I's," and an "M."

- Dimitsana.
- Go ask.

Dimitsana.

That's it, baby, good job.

- Good job, baby.
- Thank you, thank you.

- I'm so great.
- Look, it was the last one I hadn't marked.

Fortress of Rion.

Hey, it's us and them, baby.

- Unlock the doors, it's locked.
- Perfect.

Fortress of Rion.

- Find it, sugar. Where's it at?
- It's not on the map.

It's a fortress.
It's an antique place.

So it's not gonna
be on this map.

We've got to go with something.

- Rian.
- Rion, Rion.

I don't know where the
hell it is, that's the problem.

Oh, my god!

What did you do?
The whole back window is out.

Ok, I didn't see it.

- Oh, my god.
- I didn't see it.

We have to stop to
ask for directions.

Fortress of Rion?

Go towards Patra.

Jesus Christ...
Ok.

All right, let's do this.

Herculean Effort.

Are we the last ones?

Hercules, man, Hercules.
You are Hercules right now.

He's gonna make it, huh?

Yeah, yeah!

- Ttow!
- Ttow!

Yeah!

I'm thinking, unfortunately,
this may not be right.

- I'm going northeast right now.
- Ok.

I want to be going southeast.

I want to be going the other way.

Why are you turning here?

- I--
- This is an orchard grove.

What are you trying to do?

I can't believe I'm
getting this confused.

I can't even remember
my name right now, man.

This is pressure, man.
I'm telling you.

Stop the car.

Please, stop.
You're stressed.

Take a breath.

Take a breath.

Banzai!

Good!
Ok!

- Ok.
- It's ok.

"Drive yourselves to the next
Pit Stop, Fortress of Rion."

Herculean effort for
some herculean dudes.

- Let's just ask directions.
- Fortress of Rion.

You turn on the road to Patra.

All right so we're heading
now in the right direction.

Man, man, man,
this is stressful.

Here we go.

We're looking for
the Fortress of Rion.

Rion is in Patra.

- Thank you.
- Patra, left.

This is it right here.

Go straight ahead, straight
ahead, straight ahead.

It's on the left.

Look at your muscles
are popping out.

Ray and Yolanda...

you're the second team to arrive.

Yes!
Good job!

However, you guys have
received a penalty...

for not following
your clue correctly.

The clue stated that you were
supposed to travel by train

to the Isthmos Station,
which you did not do.

And so, for that, you have
received a 15-minute penalty,

which started from when
you arrived at the mat.

So I'll need you to wait
over there for 15 minutes.

It's right here.
Rion Fortress.

- Park right there.
- All right, go.

- Ok, we're here.
- We're here.

Joseph and Monica...

you're team number two.

- Good job.
- What?

How is that possible?

Ray and Yolanda,
I can check you in now.

You are team number three.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, guys.

- We're definitely last.
- It's a done deal.

I mean, I don't even
know where we're at.

It's about to get really dark.

We are the last team, but...

we're feeling really excited
because we're buddies

and we've had this
amazing experience.

Rion Fortress.

The old couple again.

I don't want to go home.

Fran and Barry...

you're team number four.

Oh, I don't believe it!

Rion Fortress.

We've got to go!

Hop on, buddy.

It's eliminator.

B.J. and Tyler...

you're the fifth team to arrive.

Oh, my god.
Are you serious?

However, you guys did not read
one of your clues correctly,

and you've received
a 15-minute penalty.

The clue stated that
you were supposed to travel

by train to the Isthmos Station,
which you did not do.

- Yeah.
- And so before I can check you in,

you need to wait out 15 minutes

from when you arrived
at the mat just now.

All right, it's actually a sign.

- There it is.
- Gosh, that's pretty right there.

Two minutes, guys.

- Let's go.
- There it is! let's go!

All right, B.J. and Tyler,
I can check you in.

You are team number five.

That's just one of you, I hope.

Oh, man.

Thank you, Phil.

All right, come on.
Give me your hand.

Welcome to Greece.

- Thanks, man.
-Thanks.

Lake and Michelle...

you're the last team to arrive.

Yeah.

I'm sorry to tell you, you have
been eliminated from the race.

It's ok, babe.

We did good.

We did really good.

Lake, are you proud of Michelle?

She did great, she
really astounded me.

She did really good.

On the race, we've gotten along
great most of the time.


There's been those times
when it was just high pressure.


So you want to blame your partner.

It's very, very stressful.

- Michelle, what are you disappointed in?
- Just that...

I couldn't do anything to help us.

I'm sure that some people
will see our relationship


and think it's just
completely whacked.


You know: "What are
they doing together?"


But... you know, it works for us.

We have a great family,
beautiful children,


and we're getting by
the best we can,


and I think that's pretty good.

Stay tuned for scenes
from our next episode.


On the next episode of The Amazing Race...

Ray and Yolanda
turn against each other.


Let's find the damn bridge.

Stop cursin' at me.

Ray.

- You need to stop.
- Stop what?

- You're cussing at me.
- Ok.

- It's pretty bad.
- Yeah, yeah.

Teams travel to the middle east...

Come on, B.J.

where B.J. suffers in the
piercing sun at the Roadblock.


Completely, just dead.

They've all been dug.

We could be here forever.
