37x06 - It Smells Like the Desert

[bunniefuu]

KEOGHAN: Previously on
The Amazing Race...

Nine teams continued

-racing through Bali.
-Oh, God.

KEOGHAN:
At a live Double U-Turn vote...

This is gonna be so dramatic.

KEOGHAN:
...married couple
Jonathan and Ana

and married parents of eight
Scott and Lori

each received four votes
and were U-Turned.

[chuckles] Dang. That sucks.

They're not my friends anymore.

KEOGHAN:
Carson and Jack

celebrated
staying under the radar.

-Not one vote.
-Not one vote.

Girl.

KEOGHAN:
Brothers Nick and Mike
struggled...

-Start over.
-All right.

I think we need to do
one of these deep breaths.

KEOGHAN:
...but married couple
Brett and Mark triumphed.

You are team number one.

Yes!

KEOGHAN:
Jonathan felt the heat.

Can you be quiet?
I have a headache.

Can you be quiet?

KEOGHAN:
But in the end,

Scott and Lori
couldn't overcome the U-Turn.

You have been eliminated.

-We really
did not see that coming.
-Not at all. Not at all.

KEOGHAN:
Coming up tonight,

-teams dive
into ultramodern Dubai,
-[whoops]

with a photo-finish ending
you won't want to miss.

Damn it. We were so close.

Route Info.

"Fly to Dubai."

KEOGHAN: All teams will fly
more than 4,000 miles west

to the Arabian peninsula

and the city of Dubai.

There may be no place on Earth
where you'll see

such a stark contrast
between dry desert landscape

and cutting-edge modernism,

including
the world's tallest building.

It's here
in this land of extremes

that teams can take a dive
for the Fast Forward.

This classic
Amazing Race game piece

allows whoever wins it

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

-Let's go.
-Let's get in.

MARK:
We're going
to a travel agency here.

Uh-huh.

No, we're going
to get to the travel agency,

and then to the airport.

At this point, I know
we're really, really good

at the challenges,
but so is everybody who's left.

So we're just gonna do our best.

-BRETT: Good morning.
-MARK: Hi, good morning

All right. So it looks
like we're definitely gonna

-all be on the same flight.
-Yeah.

-Sounds fun.
-Family trip.

MARK:
We are headed to Terminal 1.

-"Fly to Dubai."
-"Fly to Dubai."

-Okay, let's go. Let's go.
-All right, let's do it.

I worry that, like,
people are starting to notice

we've slipped by too many times.

CARSON:
Of course, of course.

To not have any votes
during the U-Turn.

-I know. I know, I know.
-And then get second again.
It's, like...

I'm hoping
that the twist this leg

-will be something positive.
-Yes.

-I hope so, too.
-We've had several negative
twists in a row,

so I feel like it has to be,
like, a Fast Forward

-or something like that.
-Yeah.

JOSIAH: I've always wanted

to go to Dubai.

[chuckles] Yeah, this is gonna
be absolutely amazing.

JOSIAH: It's apparently
an incredible city,

and I've always wanted
to land there

and say, "Oh, hi, Dubai."

[laughs]

We've been
running pretty well so far.

We're hoping
to keep that energy today

and hopefully
stay in the top three.

We're going to Dubai.

To Dubai.

My dad is really,
like, my best friend.

Like, we do pretty much
everything together.

St. Louis is where I grew up at.

It's known as one of the most
dangerous cities in the country.

So it's a lot of other things
that I could have been doing,

but I was with my dad 24/7.

He would pay me $100 a day

to come out
and cut trees with him.

This is just another time for
him and I to enjoy one another,

to travel,
to do extravagant things.

I mean, still today, it's like,

"That's my boy." You know?

We want to do some cool stuff
when we go to Dubai,

but first we're headed
to the middle of the desert.

-So, we get to be in first place
for at least a little bit today.
-[laughs]

-Just until
the next team arrives.
-Just until... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Oh, my God. We're already here.
-I know.

JACK:
Thank you so much.

-You were amazing.
-You've been the best.
Thank you.

-Thank you. Have a good day.
-Thank you. We appreciate you.
Have a good one.

JACK:
The ticket counter
doesn't open until 7:50.

Ah! Middle East.
Holden, we made it out of Asia.

HOLDEN:
I mean, it is still in Asia.

-It's just western Asia.
-Okay, Holden.
You know what I'm saying.

We're gonna go till the wheels
fall off on this thing,

and hopefully
that's after the final leg.

I am so happy we made it
through that last leg.

-Like, the Double U-Turn...
-...saved us.

Thank you so much.

Anything can happen.

-Yep.
-That's how we're still here.

The final last two girl team,

full girl team.

We got the oldest one,
and just two girls.

Yeah.

-Pretty impressive.
-Pretty impressive.

We're going for first today.

At first, we were going
for the middle of the pack.

Now we're going for number one,
baby. Let's do it.

Let's get it.

Wow.

We're going
to the Arabian Desert.

Today, our plan is to move
to the front of the pack again.

I think if we
run into Carson and Jack,

that might be
an awkward interaction

because that was
that vote that really

surprised us.

We decided
to U-Turn Jonathan and Ana.

Wow.

We didn't have an alliance,
but throughout the race

we've been very friendly.
We've shared intel.

So their U-Turn vote
was really shocking to us.

JACK:
Jonathan and Ana,

we now sort of have
maybe some bad blood with.

-[Ana sighs]
-Here we go.

HOLDEN: Don't look.

Hello, everyone.

-Hi.
-Hey, guys.
-Hi, guys.

JACK:
There was a lot of tension.

Jonathan and Ana

felt like it was a betrayal.

Hi. I'm sorry, you guys.

-Okay.
-Hi, dude.

-Sorry.
-JONATHAN: All right.

Okay. [laughs]

Must have been stressful.

I feel like we should
say hi to her real quick.

-JOSIAH: It's not personal.
And, like...
-ANA: I know.

-This is a new race and, like...
-...for understanding.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-But... [stammers]
I just... It sucks.

CARSON:
I know it might be different
coming from us,

but we feel the same way.
I'm sorry.

We could have totally,
like, U-Turned you,

and we didn't
because we love you guys.

-So that one really hurt.
-I know.

Yeah, we just knew people were,

you know, upset at you guys,
and so we just kind of...

I know. So then why
didn't you U-Turn someone else,

since you knew we were
gonna get U-Turned anyway?

-It's okay if you,
like, don't...
-Yeah, we...

Our feelings are a little...
Mm.

-I know...
-I get it.
-It might take a minute.

Just give us time.

-I get it. No. Of course.
-Of course. No. Seriously. Yeah.

-ANA: Thank you.
-BOTH: Yeah.

CARSON:
Hopefully it smooths over,
but who knows?

-Part of the game.
-Yeah, yeah.

I mean, we're here, baby.

No, you guys... Seriously.

We get to live another leg.
Yeah.

-Hello. Good morning.
-Hi. Good morning.

So, you're going to Dubai, huh?

ANA:
Yes, sir.

-Off to Dubai.
-Off to Dubai. Yes.

JEFF:
Dubai. Super,

-super excited
to get to this leg.
-Super excited.

JEFF:
Down to the final eight teams.

It's crazy looking around

and seeing
how small the group is.

Starting fresh yet again.

-We are pumped right now.

We're bringing the heat.

It's gonna--
If it's 104 right now,

it's gonna be 110

is called Wiz Khalifa.
-BRETT: Yeah.

MARK:
That's cool.

We just really want
to get to this Desert Gate,

'cause we want
a good spot for tomorrow.

MARK:
The city has
kind of disappeared,

-so it feels like we're getting
closer to the desert.
-Yeah.

We just went from city
to desert very quickly.

Oh, my gosh. Look. Camels.

JOSIAH:
Wow.

ALYSSA:
[whoops] Oh, my God.

-It smells like the desert.
-I know.

There were camels
on the side of the road.

I was about to say,

All right, babe. Ready?
Let's go take a look. Come on.

-ANA: You do one, I do one.
-JONATHAN: So, we have

this orangey thingy.

That's salmon.
And then whatever that is.

HOLDEN:
Let's just start with
these small, little muffins

-HAN: Okay. All right.
-and build our way up, yeah?

-So this is...
-There's ten of the hazelnuts.

I'm doing my absolute best
to follow their perfect example.

Coffee, purple, white and green.

And then
I'm memorizing the discs.

Eight, nine, ten. Move your
hands fast. Okay? Just like me.

This is so fun.
I feel like a chef.

♪ ♪

-BRETT: I don't know...
-MARK: Oh, that's another team.

Oh, we need to pass them.
It's Mike and Nick.

-Rolling, rolling,
rolling, rolling, rolling...
-Ooh.

JEFF:
He getting away from us.
He's getting away from us.

Don't let him get away.
In fact, get in front of him.

There we go. We out here.
My man. My man.

There go Nick and Mike.

MIKE:
Oh, look, they're passing us.

We got to go faster, sir.
They're racing us.

They just passed us.

Can you please go faster?

Can you maybe get in that lane?

We are currently in last place.

What we're really hoping is

for some kind
of Amazing Racemiracle,

and we can just surpass

-at least one team
to stay in the race.
-Yeah.

MARK:
Thank you so much.

Come on, babe. Let's go.

JEFF:
Come on. We're right
behind Brett and Mark. Come on.

-Route Info.
-Route Info.

"Prepare an afternoon tea
for Chef Christophe."

Thank you, sir.

Let's go. Here?

Watch out, watch out, watch out.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Route Info.

Go, go, go. To the box. Yep.

Right here.

Not very much experience
in the kitchen, but...

enough to be dangerous.

-Look at what this...
-Okay, okay.

ALYSSA:
In the beginning,
it was just us three teams.

And then, very quickly after,
all the other teams came in.

So it was absolute chaos.

I think all the teams are here

right now,
except for Jack and Carson,

who went for the Fast Forward.

CARSON:
Deep Dive Dubai.

JACK:
I wonder if it'll be, like,

we have to look for it
down there.

-CARSON: Look for something.
Yeah.
-Yeah.

It'll be hidden somewhere.

CARSON:
All right, let's do it.

-Thank you so much.
Dude, you were the best.
-Thank you so much. Hopefully...

-Hopefully we'll see
you super quickly.
-Yeah.

Now I don't know how to walk,
now that I've been in the air.

Yeah, just fly there.

At 200 feet,

this is the deepest
diving pool in the world.


with enough water

to fill up six
Olympic-sized swimming pools.

But what really separates
this underwater attraction

is that it's built
to resemble an abandoned

sunken city.

To win this Fast Forward,
teams must find a clue

hidden in this
one-of-a-kind dive site.

-I'm Jack.
-I'm Stefon.

-Hi, I'm Carson.
-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you guys.
-Nice to meet you, Stefon.

All right.

-Bye, guys.
-Later.

HOLDEN:
Curl goes into

the splotch.

[whispering]:
End, middle, end.

MIKE:
We're dividing
and conquering the rolls.

I'm gonna be
doing these little muffins

and Nick's working
on the cakes right behind them.

-NICK: They're not cakes.
-Whatever they are.

We knew we had some catching
up to do, so we just got to it.

NICK:
I think we learned from our
mistakes in the previous legs,

where we had detail-oriented
task that we really rushed,

and then it caused us
to not get the okay

on the first one
and then kind of lose our cool.

And today, we honed in on being

very patient and doing it right
the first time.

Let me just make sure this
is right before I keep going.

ALYSSA:
Look at what
a cute little job he did.

This is the last thing,
right here. That's it.

Are we good?

JOSIAH:
Um, get a check.

HAN:
I really want
to get this done in one try.

That's the hope.

ALYSSA:
Very careful. Very...

JOSIAH:
I am. Hi.

-ALYSSA: Thank you.
-Thank you so much.

ALYSSA:
Ramp.

-Chef Christophe. Hello.
-CHRISTOPHE: How are you?

-Oh, my goodness.
-Hello.

Fantastic.

-Thank you so much.
-Hello.

-It was a pleasure.
-Pleasure.
-There you go.

Let me check all the details.

-ALYSSA: Sure.
Of course. Please.
-JOSIAH: Yeah, of course.

[Christophe clicks tongue]

-I think you're almost there.
-JOSIAH: Almost there. Okay.

You need
to be focused on some details.

-ALYSSA: Okay.
-JOSIAH: Some details.

So please go back
to the pantry kitchen,

-Thank you, Chef Christophe.
-and see you later.

-We sure will. Thank you.
-Thank you so much.
See you soon.

Oh, wow. These are
strugglesome to put on.

I'm just gonna
take those ones off.

He said that something
is missing,

so I think
we need to take a closer look

at each other's work, and
that's what we're about to do.

Chef Christophe
is not playing games.

The tree business--
it's not all about detail,

but most of the time,

it's just about getting
it done fast and efficiently

and being strong enough
to lift it all.

This is outside
of our usual daily,

but I like it like that.

Something different for us,
you know?

JACK:
We've done some snorkeling,

but neither of us
have scuba dived before.

But I was not nervous at all.

Okay.

JACK:
My mom loves scuba diving.

I mean, my mom's not, like...

[grunts] hulkingly swole.

I was like,
"If she can do it, I can do it."

And I knew
we'd have fun doing it.

JONATHAN:
Ours is looking very nice.

ANA:
The gold leaves
is very hard to handle.

-JONATHAN: Aim for perfection.
-Yes, babe.

I'm actually kind of
having a good time right now.

HOLDEN:
I think it's like doing
elementary school projects.

HAN:
Yeah.

Holden would plagiarize
my, uh, projects,

because Holden
would just be like, "Oh,

"You know what would be faster
than doing the actual work?

Taking my sister's work."

Yeah.

Do you see
how he just ignored me?

Unfortunately,
the only time we spent

in the kitchen
with Nonna and our mom

was eating, not cooking.

That would have been a big
help right now, if we actually

weren't big gavones
that just wanted to eat.

[chuckles]

-ALYSSA: Josiah,
I think I figured it out.
-JOSIAH: Yeah?

ALYSSA:
So, there's two things
that are gold here,

but the gold flakes are
different from the gold discs.

And I didn't
use the gold flakes.

-JOSIAH: Oh, it wasn't me?
-No, it wasn't you.

JOSIAH [laughs]:
All right.

ALYSSA:
I think we've got it now.
Okay, let's go.

Saw something with
gold flakes that I can't find.

POPS:
Got to be right there.

JONATHAN:
Check this out.

Check this move out right here.

ANA:
Are you working, babe?

Look at this. Look.
Ah, get on there.

-[laughs]
-Yeah, I like it.

I feel like a chef.

I think
you did a pretty good job.

-ALYSSA: Oh, thank you.
-JOSIAH: Thank you so much.

CHRISTOPHE:
Uh, I think you... you got it.

-Yes! Thank you.
-Thank you so much,
Chef Christophe.

If you're ever looking
for a new hire...

Thank you.

Okay.

Route Info.

KEOGHAN:
Teams must now travel by taxi

to Burj Al Arab Public Beach,

where they'll
find their next clue.

-Okay. Let's go.
-Going to a beach.

-That looks good.
-Okay.

-Check? You good?
-Yeah, let's go. Got everything?

[pants]
Oh, I want to eat that so bad.

All right, let's go.

ERIKA:
So, Alyssa and Josiah just left.

-ALYSSA: Okay, here we go.
-JOSIAH: Thank you so much.

ALYSSA:
Okay, we're going
to Burj Al Arab Public Beach.

-You know it?
-DRIVER: Yeah, I know it.

-ALYSSA: Okay, great.
-JOSIAH: Oh, thank you so much.

-ALYSSA: Great. Thank you.
-JOSIAH: We're in a race.

-MELINDA: This green is so...
-It's really hard. I agree.

Okay, wait, this does not want
to stick in there.

ERIKA:
We did know we were last,

but you don't have a team
chasing you at that point.

I think, for you,
it's actually better.

-Yeah.
-Because when you have teams
chasing you sometimes,

you get a little more frantic.

-Oh, I just
hit that cupcake, Mom.
-What cupcake?

This one right here
with my hand.

-Oh, sh**t. Oh, sh**t.
-No, no, no.

Don't use your gloves.
Don't use your gloves.

I didn't see it sitting
right there next to my hand.

This friggin' frosting
is k*lling me.

ANA: Hello.

Hi.

Just here. Right here.

Fantastic.
This is a big "yes."

-Yes.
-Very well done.

-Thank you so much. Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Yeah. Good luck.

MELINDA:
So, I think
it's lemon zest on it.

ERIKA:
Yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah, that's a good idea, Mom.

JONATHAN:
Come on.

HAN:
Clean off this plate, too.

-Want to get a check?
-Yeah. Let's get a check.

Hello, hello, sir.

We need to go
to Burj Al Arab Public Beach.

Uh, you're Chef Christophe?

HAN:
Chef Christophe.

That's all I'm saying.

I have a boyfriend.
I do have a boyfriend.

HOLDEN:
I was expecting
this super old head.

And then I was like,

"Dude, why are you
a good-looking French guy?"

His eyes are hella blue.

Can we...
can we put this down here?

HOLDEN:
Hey, careful, careful, careful.

CHRISTOPHE:
Let me have a look.

First time.
Fantastic. Well done.

-Merci beaucoup.
-Merci beaucoup.

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

-HAN: Good job, Holden.
-HOLDEN: Oh, nice job, nice job.

ERIKA:
Okay.

I should have watched
more baking shows.

Maybe I'd know what I'm doing.

JACK:
When we finished training,

then we were off
to find the Fast Forward.

CARSON:
What was so interesting
is that the breathing

was so much more natural
than snorkeling for me.

I was swimming out,
and I looked,

and this tunnel went forever.

Like, an endless...

I can't even imagine
what these scuba divers...

how deep they're going.

JACK:
It was an underwater city.

Like, who gets to scuba dive
in an underwater city?

There were, like, lots
of different scenes down there.

CARSON:
There were buildings,
there was, like, motorbikes.

JACK:
There was a Lego man.
There was a....

Oh, there was a chess table.

CARSON:
There was, like, a car.
It was amazing.

JACK:
It was amazing.

JEFF:
You need to take

that lemon
and then make lemon zest.

BRETT:
There's no flowers on this.

Those little ones right there.

MARK:
Hey, perfect. Good job, babe.

BRETT:
There was these
little white flowers

that he didn't add to it.

MARK:
I was actually very impressed

'cause he found it right away.

And it was on my cupcake.

MARK:
As you requested.

CHRISTOPHE:
Let me have a look.

-Fantastic job. Well done.
-Thank you.

Oh, my God.

-Thank you very much.
-Good luck.

Wipe it first.
I'll put these up.

Just wipe the whole plate down.

MIKE:
Nick, I did the wrong caviar.

Take your time.

Thanks, Chef.

MARK:
Let's get out of here.

MIKE:
I used the wrong
little caviar dots.

Now I got the right ones.

It's heavy. You know,
we're the all-girl team.

Okay, I will help you.
Let's put it in the middle.

I will have a look.

ERIKA:
They look pretty.

-Let's see.
-Okay. You're right. [laughs]

-Okay. Well done.
-Yay!
-Yay!

-Thank you so much.
-Congrats, congrats.

BOTH:
Thank you. Thank you.

-You're good. Come on.
-All right. You got it?

MIKE:
We're just about done.

-Hey, right here.
-All right.

JEFF:
Okay. You see
what just happened.

CHRISTOPHE:
You can do it again.

-Okay. I just did that.
-CHRISTOPHE: Missing something.

-Missing something?
-I just did that
with my hand, man.

-POPS: You got it.
-JEFF: Wow. Wow, man.

-We need another long cake.
-POPS: You sure?

JEFF:
We got to redo it, man.
I just messed it up.

POPS:
Missing something, though, Jeff.

JEFF:
Yeah, hold on.
I'm finna find it.

We've been rushing,
and it hasn't paid off for us,

so hopefully,
taking our time today pays off.

-Go do that. Do it from scratch.
-Yeah.

Okay. Thank you, sir.

-Let's have a look.
-Thank you
for giving us a great example.

-Come on.
-It's a big "yes."

-Yes! Let's go!
-Let's move, baby. Let's move.

-Thank you, sir. Thank you.
-Good luck, guys. Good luck.

-Thank you.
-Thank you very much.
Appreciate you.

Thank you.

POPS:
They got it.

-JEFF: Mike and Nick did?
-Yup.

"Travel by taxi

to Burj Al Arab Public Beach
to find your next clue."

JEFF:
We last, man. Come on.

We got to get out of here.

JEFF:
Got it.

-POPS: You found it?
-JEFF: Yeah, I figured it out.

We didn't put white flowers
on here, so,

once he finishes that cake,
we're ready to go.

Let's get the plate clean.

POPS:
Go ahead and finish that.
You got that?

JEFF:
I'm done. Yeah. We ready.

-Okay. Made the new one?
-BOTH: Yes.

Well done.

You finally find
the white flower.

-Yes.
-Well done, guys.

All right, all right,
all right, all right.

-Thank you so much.
-Good luck.

"Travel
to Burj Al Arab Public Beach

to find your next clue."

-All right.
-Let's go.

-Jeff, we can catch 'em.
-We can catch all of 'em.

-POPS: Taxi!
-Taxi.

CARSON:
This place is huge.

We don't even know where or
how hidden this Fast Forward is.

Finally, Jack caught

the glowing Fast Forward plaque

on the pool table.

JACK:
Honestly, if we
weren't in a race,

-I could have spent hours
down there.
-CARSON: Hours. Hours.

JACK:
I felt completely comfortable

and happy down there.

-We got the Fast Forward!
-Yeah! Let's go!

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

Okay. Route Info.

"Congratulations.
You've won the Fast Forward.

"Get back into your luxury ride.

Then the driver will take you
directly to the Pit Stop."

All right. Go change?

-Best day ever.
-Best day ever.

ALYSSA:
There's something going on
over there.

Oh, there's...
there's the clue box.

-Awesome.
You were the absolute best.
-Thank you, Shafiq.

JOSIAH:
We don't need any change.

Thank you so much, Shafiq.

-So...
-ALYSSA: Over here?

Yeah.

-Another Roadblock.
-Oh, my gosh, a Roadblock.

-"Who's ready to ride a wave?"
-Got to be you, baby, right?

I'm ready to ride a wave.

While hydrofoiling
might appear cutting edge,

you might be surprised
to find out

that it's been around
for more than a hundred years.

What is cutting edge
are these eFoils,

motorized surfboards
that allow riders

to glide through the water at
speeds up to 30 miles an hour.

This Roadblock requires teams
to start at the first buoy,

get to their feet by the second,

then travel through the water
to the third

to get their next clue.

I have no idea what an eFoil is,

-but I'm gonna find out.
-[laughs] Let's go.

Who knows what's happening
at that Fast Forward?

First place is definitely
up for grabs.

CARSON:
This has been the best day ever.

-I really hope
we get first place.
-I hope so, too.

-If not, I'll still be cool.
-Yeah.

-Calm, cool and collected. But
-Of course.

let's hope for a really,
really hard Detour

-for everyone else.
-Detour. Yeah.

-Sweaty, manual labor.
-Yeah.

-Sitting in the sun for hours.
-Yes.

[laughing]:
I'm just... just kidding.

I don't want anyone
to get hurt, but...

-HOLDEN:
Oh, I see. It's right there.
-Yeah.

ANA:
I see it.

HOLDEN:
I think it's swimming.

HAN:
Hell, yeah, bro.

-HOLDEN: Lot of clues.
-ANA: Get the clue, baby.

Okay.

"Who's ready to ride a wave?"

-Hell, yeah, I'm ready
to ride a wave.
-Han's gonna do it.

-I will do this one.
-Okay.

Hey, guys. What's up?

What's up? You ready?

Uh, yeah, as ready as I can be,
yeah. I'm excited.

-How you doing, bro?
-Hey, hey. Good, man.

MICAEL:
All right, mate. So,
first thing-- on your safety,

-there is a propeller down here.
-Okay.

-Don't stand on anything
over there.
-Okay.

And if you're going
to fall off the board,

please jump to the sides.

-To the side.
-Don't jump in front, yeah?

ALYSSA:
I think this is gonna be tough.

-MICAEL: This is for you, bud.
-JOSIAH: Okay, thanks, Micael.

HOLDEN:
Is Josiah already in there?

Um, yeah, he just

-waded on out.
-HOLDEN: Yeah.

[Josiah sighs]

-MICAEL:
All right, you can flip it over.
-JOSIAH: Cool.

All right, jump on top for me,
on your stomach.

Nicely done. So, important:

when you want to start,
tap, minus.

-Tap, minus.
-And squeeze.

MICAEL:
Now keep the trigger flat
and steady.

Keep your arms forward
on the board.

And you're gonna
walk your knees up.

ALYSSA:
He's learning how to do it.

Um, I think he's gotten
up to his knees so far.

It looks like he's gonna
have to stand all the way up

and ride it
almost like a surfboard.

JOSIAH:
When we moved to California,

we decided we wanted
to learn how to surf, so,

we bought these eight-foot
foamies that were beat up,

and we went out there
and tried to teach ourselves.

We were not good at surfing,
but thank God

I had some experience

at getting up on my knees
and standing up on a surfboard.

Look at him. He's already
standing up. There he goes.

MICAEL:
Very nice. Very nice.

Keep a little bit more weight
on the front foot.

Shift your hip
onto the front foot.

All right.

HAN [singsongy]:
It's about to be sick!

-Ready to go?
-Yeah.

-Have you done anything
like this before?
-No, nothing.

HOLDEN:
All right, it's time

to watch
the Terminator do a challenge.

ANA:
The Terminator. I love that.

HAN:
Yo! So excited.

Don't be too far forward that
your nose is under the water.

JONATHAN:
Okay, got it.

-You ready?
-JONATHAN: I'm ready.

-Trigger... minus...
-JONATHAN: Trigger... minus...

-...trigger.
-JONATHAN: ...trigger.

JONATHAN:
Oh, I got it now.

MICAEL:
Nice, man.

All right,
go to gear three or four.

-Oh, it just stopped.
-Oh, don't stop.

Don't release the trigger.

INSTRUCTOR:
That's good, great. Very good.

HAN:
I am a surfer.
Surfing ended up helping a ton.

INSTRUCTOR:
Lean forward, lean forward.

HAN: In surfing, when you're
riding a wave, you're, like,

going down
or to the side or making turns.

This was just on flat water,
so it wasn't too bad.

-I think I can do it.
-INSTRUCTOR: Yes.

I know how to surf.

-Up now. Look up, look up.
-JONATHAN: Yeah.

Weight on the front.

-I'm glad we did the skydive.
-[laughing]: I know.

"Who's ready to ride a wave?"

-Wave. Girl, it has to be you.
-Damn it. It has to be me.

-Okay, let's do it.
-Dang it.

Very good. Very good.

Excellent.

That's the gist of it.

HOLDEN:
Oh, there's someone's...

Someone's cooking right now.

-Ooh.
-ANA: Ooh.

ALYSSA:
I think that was Jonathan.

I think that was Jonathan. Yeah.

-Phil!
-Phil!

[whooping]

-Ah.
-Hi.

Welcome to Dubai
in the United Arab Emirates.

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

Carson and Jack,
you are team number one.

-[whoops]
-[exclaims]

As the winners
of this leg of the race,

you have won a trip for two

on an Alaskan cruise.

-What?
-No way!

Courtesy of Expedia
and OneKeyCash,

who are gonna cover
your flights.

Expedia experts have designed
a seven-night

unique experience,
leaving from Vancouver.

You're gonna be going through
Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway

and the Kenai Peninsula,

including a balcony room,

dining, spa services

and live entertainment.

-Oh, my God. Awesome!
-Amazing! [whoops]

I've never been to Alaska.

-What a day.
-It was an unreal day.

Everything we did felt like it
was straight out of a fantasy.

If you were slipping
under the radar before,

maybe like, "Oh, we got lucky,"
I think that kind of might

-be over now, don't you?
-I think maybe, yeah.

JACK:
I think we're definitely
on the chopping block for any

sort of negative twists
that are to come.

But I'm also confident
that we can overcome it.

All right.

You're standing.
Yeah, that's very good.

Ooh.

Okay, Roadblock again. Gosh.
Okay, this will be me then.

MICAEL:
Lean on your heels,
look over your right shoulder.

ALYSSA:
Josiah's out there
cruising right now.

Oh, he's got this.

He looks so balanced.

Look where you want to go.

Weight on the front more.

Yes. Very good. Well done.

Yes.

BRETT:
So, from what buoy to what?

There's three buoys with flags.

One, two, and then three
is all the way over there.

So I think what they have
to do is start at the first,

get on their feet by the second,

and then stay on their feet

-from the second to the third.
-Okay.

-Yeah, you can start from here.
-JOSIAH: Okay.

MICAEL: Get on your knees, bro.

ALYSSA: He's trying to get up.

He's got to get up
by that second buoy.

And he is... up. He's up.

And now he's... still up!

Then he fell in. [laughs]

MICAEL:
All right.

And now he's going back
to the beginning.

Oh, are you my instructor?

I'm excited.

-Roadblock.
-"Who's ready to ride a wave?"

-Me.
-Okay.

Want me to do it?

Hurry up.

Uh, you go... up for it?

[panting]

Sounds physical. Look,
they're literally riding a wave.

-I'll do it. I'll do it.
I got it.
-Nick.

Oh, the hat. That makes sense.

-Hey, Jeff.
-Hey, hey.

All right, ready? Go.

HOLDEN: She's not gonna force
anything. I think she knows

what the feel of gliding
on the water is like.

MELINDA:
She's up there, standing.

-She-She's making it.
-HOLDEN: You got it, you got it,

-you got it, you got it,
-Han's gonna make it.

-ALYSSA: Wow. Go, BaoHan.
-you got it, you got it.

-MELINDA: Han's gonna make it.
-[whooping]
-HAN: Let's go!

That's my girl! [whoops]

And by that, I mean my sister.

[laughs]
No.

That was awesome.

-Melinda and Erika are here?
-Uh, yeah.

Erika's getting
her instructions right now.

If he changes...
If they both change fast,

you guys are...
you guys are in a good spot.

-No, we're all tied for last.
-Yeah.

I mean... Hey, good luck, guys.
You guys got it.

That's my boo. Babe.

Come on, babe.
Yeah, you got it. Come on.

Turn it, turn it, turn it. Yes.

Turn it, turn it, turn it.

Yes. Come on.
More, more, more, more, more.

Okay. That's okay.

-ANA: She looks so awesome.
-ALYSSA: Good job, Han!

-Yeah, girl.
-That was amazing!

Thank you, sir. Okay.

-What's your name?
-Erika.

-Erika, my name is Chad.
-Nice to meet you.

Route Info.
"Race to the Pit Stop."

KEOGHAN:
Teams must now travel by taxi

to the Mall of the Emirates
Metro Station,

and then take a ride
across this bustling city.

Without fail,

every time The Amazing Race
comes to Dubai,

there's something new to see.

This is
the Museum of the Future,

a showcase of innovation and
technology shaping the future.

This is now the Pit Stop
for this leg of the race.

The last team to check in here
will be eliminated.

-Hold this. I'm gonna change.
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know what?
I'm gonna do this.

MICAEL: Nice and focused, now.

ALYSSA: Oh, he almost did it.

-HOLDEN: All right.
-HAN: Our taxi guy--

He's over there,
he's over there.

Mall of Emirates Metro Station.

Okay.

POPS:
Jeff is not crazy about water.

He never really did
a lot of swimming.

He would rather go
to the gym and play basketball

when I took the kids
to go swimming,

but I've done four of 'em,
he's done two, so he figures

it's time for him to do one.

JEFF:
Should I take my shoes off?

You can leave them on
if you want.

I'll leave 'em on. More grip.

I kept my shoes on

when I went in the water,
and I guess he pointed out

that's not conducive
to a good swimming experience.

I didn't know that.

NICK: We going? Ready?

What the heck.

JOSIAH:
Oh, my gosh.
They caught up to us.

They put pressure on me.

I literally thought to myself,
if I was out here on vacation,

I would have done this
so quickly.

Am I getting too close
to my limit?

I think I just, like,
choked at that opportunity.

And I was kicking myself
because I was like,

"You know, we had this lead,
we had this jump.

Am I losing it?"

JOSIAH: I need to calm down.

There's nothing
I can do about this moment

of chaos, and I just
need to go for it when I can

-and enjoy it.
-MICAEL: All right, ready?

Go!

ALYSSA: Oh. Go, Jo-Sto.
You got this, baby.

Come on, Jos.
He's more than halfway there.

He's so close.

He's still up. He's still up.

He's still up.

He's still up. He's so close.

Yeah! Yes, baby!

Oh, my gosh.
I'm so proud of him.

It looked really, really hard.

All right,
I'm gonna get our bags. Wow.

So, it looks like now
we're fighting for...

fourth place. [laughs]

CHAD:
Look forwards.

That's too fast.
You're gonna lose control.

Yeah, it's sick, huh?

I got to figure out my speed.
I went too fast right away.

MIKE: Looks like he's crushing
it right now. I trust Nick.

Nick is the better athlete
than me.

Although that's
painful to admit.

We had a feeling this was
gonna be a physical Roadblock,

and I'm hoping that
he could pull it through

and go two for two
with the Roadblocks today.

-Thank you.
-Good luck, guys.

-Appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
-Thank you so much.

BRETT:
Yea, nice, nice.

Oh, he's turning. Nice.

Ooh, too much...

Turn, turn.

Don't go full throttle
on the accelerator.

-I felt like I had it.
-Let's do one more try?

-You see?
-Okay. Yeah.

Where do I go
if I want to attempt it?

ALYSSA:
We need to go

to the Mall of Emirates
Metro Station.

-All right, ready?
-Yup.

-Go
-BRETT: I believe in him.

Just hope he can stay calm

and stay balanced.

[whoops]
Yeah, that looks good, babe!

[whooping]

Yeah! Yeah!

That was good, though.

I'm very proud of him.

ANA:
Is that my boo? That's my boo.

BRETT: He's doing it.
He's almost there.

ANA: Oh, wow. He's almost there.

Oh, my gosh. He almost had it.

Mm, hmm, hmm.

BRETT:
All right, we got this. Come on.

[singsongy]:
Slow and steady, have some fun,

slow and steady, have some fun,

have some fun, slow and steady,
slow and steady.

You got it. Yes. Control.

Yes. Yes, control.
Come on, babe.

Slow and steady,
slow and steady,

slow and steady,
slow and steady! [whooping]

-MARK: Yes!
-[Brett whoops]

That's my baby. That's my baby.

-If that's all I have to do,
let's do it.
-CHAD: Yeah. Come.

INSTRUCTOR:
Yes, okay. No worries.

INSTRUCTOR 2:
Relax, relax, relax, relax.

INSTRUCTOR 3:
Lean forward. Lean forward.

-CHAD: Go!
-MELINDA: Let's go, Erika!

Let's go, Erika!

You got this, Erika!

Come on, Erika!

Yes? Let's go! [shrieks]

MELINDA: I'm so happy for her.

I knew she could.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

BRETT: Thank you so much.

I think
Nick is trying it right now.

Go!

-MIKE: Aw, he just fell off.
-I saw it, I saw it.

Yeah.

-MELINDA:
She did it, she did it.
-Thank you.

-That was so fun. So fun.
-MELINDA: Way to go, babe!

I knew you could do it.

POPS:
There you go, there you go.

There you go, Jeff.
There you go.

Look like he may have it now.

He's up. He's still up.

He's going down. Darn it.

I'm gonna try again.
One more time?

So we have to go
to the Museum of the Future.

Okay, let's go.

ANA: Okay, he's up.
He's up on the board.

Slow and steady.
Don't get excited.

Just slow and steady.
He's almost there.

I see him balancing,
using his arms and legs.

He's almost there.

Oh, my gosh. Did he do it?
I think he just did it.

Ooh!

MIKE: I wish that I could

cheer him on right now.

I really do.

I was standing. What happened?

-I was standing too back, right?
-INSTRUCTOR: Yeah.

MIKE:
Oh, Jonathan just got it,

-so it's down to us two, Pops.
-POPS: He just got it, yup.

So it's just down to us two.
Yup. That's all right, man.

See what happen here.

Okay. "Make your way to the
Museum of the Future

and search for Phil on the mat."

America, do you like
my sunglasses?

They're his...
They're our mom's.

Up there. Okay.

He said to enter
through that way.

HAN:
"You must purchase
at the marked kiosk."

HOLDEN:
It's right here.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.
Emirates Tower Station.

-Yes.
-HOLDEN: Yes. Okay, thank you.

HAN:
Platform one is here.

INSTRUCTOR:
Let's go back again.

POPS:
He's about to try it again.

I'm just gonna hope for the best
right now because

this here is... can determine

whether or not
we're still in this race.

Come on, Jeff.

Do it, man.

Come on, you got it.
You got this.

Waves of light.

Waves of light.
No reason why you should fall.

You got it, Jeff.

He got it.

Oh!

POPS:
And he did it.

I think Jeff made it.
He's coming. Come on, son.

INSTRUCTOR 3:
Well done, man. Nice.

Jeff and Pops just finished,
so we're in last right now.

It's a little disheartening.

That's a stressful thing,
is just not being able

to give him the motivation
that I know he needs right now.

"Race to the Pit Stop.

"Make your way
to the Museum of the Future.

Search for Phil on the mat."

INSTRUCTOR: All right.
You stand in place like this.

No, I got it, I got it,
I got it, I got it.

In that moment,
my mind went right to,

"Damn, we're gonna
get eliminated in Dubai."

Go!

NICK: I never want
to just give up on a challenge.

Doesn't matter
if I'm gonna be last.

Like, I don't want that to be
my identity, no matter what.

So, I was determined to just
get it done just to get it done.

MIKE: Let's go, Nick!

I think he got it.

Yeah, he's coming back.

He looks like he's in Baywatch
right now. [laughs]

Good job, Nick.
Proud of you, bro.

-Your next clue, brother.
Well done, man.
-Thank you.

"The last team to check in
will be eliminated." Let's go.

HAN: Is this platform one?

HOLDEN: Dubai Mall?

"Emirates Towers."

HAN:
Where do you see it? Amazing.

"Look for Phil across the street

at Jumeirah Emirates Towers
Plaza."

HOLDEN:
This is awesome.

Playing with a lead

is a lot better
than playing from behind.

-POPS: Hey, the cab right there.
-JEFF: I see it, man.

We don't...
He's gonna make it close.

Mall of Emirates Metro Station.

We in a race. We got to go
as fast as possible, man.

I hope they don't rush
and get on the same train as us.

Right, right. Think...
Yeah, that's what I don't want.

-You ready?
-Hello, sir.

Our life in this race depends

on passing Pops and Jeff
right now,

so, we want to pass 'em
more than ever.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you, Shafiq.

JOSIAH:
It was great meeting you.

-Platform number one.
-Okay.

MAN [over P.A.]:
...from platform one.

-This is what we want?
-Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup.
Zip, zip, zip.

-Good job.
-Good job to you.

-ERIKA:
Holy crap, this is a long light.
-It's really long.

Everyone's gonna catch up
to us at this light.

MELINDA:
Ugh. Hope they don't pass us.

ERIKA:
I know. Me too. I'm stressed.

MARK:
There we go. Thank you so much.

So we'll for sure be in fourth

if we can get on this
before anyone arrives.

-Up the station
to station one, he said, right?
-Yes.

MARK:
And we're going to number 23.

-We can figure things out.
-BRETT: Oh, look at us.

ANA: Where do we purchase?
Okay, let's go up.

Do you have the money? I'll
take it from you. Thank you.

-Hello.
-Hi. Good morning.

ANA:
Yes. Uh, we need tickets

-to the Museum of the Future.
-Right here, girls.

Dang, you guys got solid taxis
always. Nice job, man.

-How do you pick
such fast taxis every time?
-Thank you.

ERIKA:
All right, let's go.

JEFF
All right, all right, let's go.

We just got to get to Phil.

Let's get some lead way
and get out of here.

POPS: Is this it?

All right.
Come on, let's go.

-POPS:
When we get in, we can't run.
-All right.

Let's whip 'em.

They're gonna be
pulling up any minute.

Okay. Here you go, sir.
Thank you.

They're here, Jeff.
I see their cab, man.

Mike, we can't run inside,
remember?

Here it is, Jeff. You can find
your tickets right here.

Tickets right here.

-Yeah, they coming, Jeff.
-They running.

-They just came running in.
-Thank you.

All right. Thank you, sir.

-You tell 'em.
-All right, let's go.

In a literal footrace right now

with Pops and Jeff,
trying to get on this train.

POPS:
I just don't want
to miss this train.

-Ooh, it's open. Come on.
-POPS: It's open?

-JEFF: Is this platform one?
-It's platform...

-Platform one. Yeah.
-You sure? I see a four.

-POPS: Where you see a four at?
-Up here.

-Right here?
-This platform one?

-Whoa.
-Dang it.

-Dang it!
-Well, gonna catch us now, man.

Left, Nick.

Is this the only train, right?

We're trying to go to the Metro
to the Museum of the Future.

-Metro. Oh. There.
-Damn. Man.

Four minutes
is when it come back.

Four minutes,
all they need, man.

-MARK:
"Look for a marked kiosk."
-Right here.

We're going
to the Museum of the Future.

Man. Come on.

Two minutes now.
Come on, man.

They make this train,
we can't let them outrun us.

POPS:
I know it, man.

-Okay, thank you.
-Thank you.

-Let's go.
-Let's hustle.

-Dang!
Don't let them see you, Pops.
POPS: I'm not, man.

Man!

If you think
you have what it takes

to be on The Amazing Race,

then go to cbs.com/casting
and apply now.

The world is waiting for you.

Dang! It's crazy, man.
We was gone.

We got to get on this train.

NICK: We got to move.

POPS: They coming.

-They're already coming.
They're already coming, man.
-Man!

NICK:
Mike, we're here.

POPS:
Let's get up here, Jeff.

-Jeff and Pops are right there.
-I know. Oh, my God.

JEFF:
Man.

MIKE:
It's gonna be a footrace, boys.

-POPS: You want
to tie your shoe up, Jeff?
-Yeah, man.

-Want to go down there?
-Yeah.

-Gonna do this?
-We're doing it.

We're tied
for last place right now.

This is, uh, this is crazy.

Maybe we are gonna survive
this whole... all these legs.

This gives me confidence 'cause
it makes me think like, "Okay,

"even the challenges
that we're not great at,

we are gonna figure it out."

It looks like
we are to the right that way,

but it just depends
which way we get off.

It's across the street and up.

We just run with them,
and I'll keep up as best I can.

HOLDEN:
No running. We got to walk.

"Museum of the Future."
-"The Future."

-Emirates Towers?
-Okay, we need to get

to the lobby
of the museum entrance.

-Oh, how amazing.
-Excuse us.

HOLDEN:
"Exit Emirates Towers."
It's right there.

"Look across the street
for Phil."

-I see him. Let's run.
-Oh.

Oh, I see them.

Hi... Phil!

Han and Holden,

I am pleased to tell you
that you're team number two.

-Yes, Holden!
-And is that not

-your best finish so far?
-It is our best finish so far.

ALYSSA:
Here it is.

-HOLDEN: Go, go, go!
-[whooping]

-JOSIAH: Han, you monster!
-Thank you.

I'm gonna call you Hanster.

Yes!

[overlapping chatter]

Here you are in the top three.

Alyssa, what does this
feel like?

Doing this with Josiah

and the friends we've met
along the way-- it's priceless.

It's absolutely priceless.

NICK:
Oh, man, this is intense.

We're literally in the
same train as Jeff and Pops.

A couple doors away from us.

-Yes.
-Boom.
-Brent and Mark,

you are in the top four.

-You are team number four.
-Yes.
-Yes.

Lock this up.
Secu-Secure your bag.

NICK:
You got your inhaler ready?

You got a little puff in now?

POPS:
It's gonna be a footrace.

-[Ana whoops]
-KEOGHAN: Onto the mat.

-MELINDA: Good job!
-Nice job, Mom.

-Nice job.
-Good job, mama.
-Good job, team.

-Nice job.
-[laughing]

Jonathan and Ana,
I'm pleased to tell you

that you are team number five.

Melinda and Erika,
you are team number six.

-Nice job, Mom!
-Good job, mama.

This is it? This is it?

Okay, right there.

Oh, they can't run.

-Sure?
-Not in here.

No one can run.

-Come on, Pops.
-I'm with you.

NICK:
Okay.

JEFF:
Briskly walk. Briskly walk.

-Walk fast, Pops, come on.
-Okay.

POPS: It say "exit."
This way, Jeff. Jeff.

Okay.

JEFF:
Come on. This way, Pops.

NICK:
Come on, Mike.

MIKE:
You said no running.

NICK:
Mike, just match me.

-JEFF: Come on, Pops.
-All right.

-Nick, here.
-JEFF: Pops, come on.

Pops, this way.

It's locked.

JEFF:
Come on, Pops.

-Mike.
-Pops, Pops, come on.
-POPS: I'm with you.

-NICK: Where, Mike?
-Across the street in the plaza.

NICK: Right here, Mike!

ANA: Oh, my God.

ERIKA:
Hey, guys, nice job, nice job.

-Ah!
-Let's go.

-Oh!
-Nice job, boys. Nice job, boys.

-Let's go.
-ANA: Oh, good job, boys.

You're good. You're good.

-[overlapping chatter]
-Love you guys.

Nick and Mike...

team number seven.

Lucky number seven.

KEOGHAN: Got here
with seconds to spare.

Pops and Jeff...

...very sorry to tell you
that you are the last team

to arrive here in Dubai,

and unfortunately, you've been
eliminated from the race.

You're standing here
with your... your father,

and I know you must be
incredibly proud.

So, I can't even explain
how proud I am of my Pops, man.

He hung in there the whole race.

POPS:
Everything we've done is

all I wanted to do.
Sure, we want the money.

Okay, we all want money
out here.

But, Phil, I actually got out
a plane way up in the sky

and jumped out, man.

Always wanted to do that, man.

My father-- he kept me with him
since I was a little guy,

teaching me how
to cut trees down,

just teaching me
what type of man to be.

So, the fact that we came,
and we've been

all over the world now, I
wouldn't ask for anything else.

This is the most challenging
and fun thing

that we could have
possibly done together.

We gave it everything
that we had.

I've always looked at my father
as Superman.

I've always called him that.

And I actually got
to see him fly today, you know?

KEOGHAN: Next time
onThe Amazing Race...

The first self-drive
sends teams spinning.

I have no idea where we are.

-Not good.
-ANA: We're stuck.

I don't know what else to do.

KEOGHAN:
And another Double U-Turn
has teams sprinting.

NICK [laughing]:
We got to go right now.

MIKE:
It's a footrace.
