♪ ♪
The solid gold sound of the UCLA Bruin Marching Band
has been heard here in California
for more than 90 years.
Today, this is the start of an epic adventure
for 11 of the most memorable teams
who are looking to rewrite their "Amazing Race" history.
Jet and Cord, brothers from Oklahoma.
Yeah!
Cord, don't hit the yak.
Oh, my gravy. Oh, my gravy.
Oh, my gravy, I can't tell ya.
The last time we did "The Amazing Race",
I got married the day before we took off
to go around the world.
Jet had a little girl that was two at the time.
So, it was pretty tough to leave home.
But coming to this race,
it's gonna be just a little bit easier.
We're definitely back in the saddle.
(Phil) - Caroline and Jennifer,
country singers from Nashville, Tennessee.
On the last race, we were kind of a little boy crazy.
- Thank you. - Thank you, Jim.
Do you want some thongs? Some women's underwear?
Come in handy on those lonely nights.
(Caroline) We have no boyfriends
on this race to distract us.
- Eyes on the prize. - Eyes on the prize.
(both singing) ♪ We're gonna win "The Amazing Race" ♪
Wee!
(Phil) - Natalie and Nadiya,
twinnies born in New York
and raised in Sri Lanka.
Nadiya and I, we're-- you know, we're really loud.
We can be obnoxious.
Natalie, concentrate!
Natalie, you're just hitting it! Shut up!
Nadiya, watch it! Gotta watch what the hell you're doing.
Shut up!
We were completely a hot mess last time.
This time we're more focused on productivity.
Yeah, shut up. This is "Amazing Race".
Like, if you're not a hot mess, you're not racing right.
(both laughing)
(Phil) - Brendon and Rachel,
recently married from Los Angeles, California.
"Amazing Race" is supposed to be fun and good.
Damn you, I hate you! Take it!
I wanted to go on a trip around the world
with my best friend.
On the last race, Brendon and I made it
all the way to final leg, but we really lost track
of what it is to work together.
Now, we're married, so, obviously,
we're gonna be fighting way less.
Yeah, I don't think so. (laughing)
(Phil) - Jessica and John,
recently engaged from Huntington Beach, California.
Jessica and John, I think you might be the first team
ever in "Amazing Race" history who has been eliminated
with an Express Pass on the mat.
I don't need a million dollars.
Oy vey.
- Um, that was dumb. - (laughing)
This time around, there will not be an "oy vey" moment.
(Phil) Flight Time and Big Easy,
teammates on the Harlem Globetrotters.
(both grunting)
(Flight Time laughing) - Uh-huh!
(Big Easy) He hasn't lost a game in 15 years,
I haven't lost a game in nine years.
The only thing we have lost is "The Amazing Race" twice.
No excuses this time.
We're older, we're wiser, we still look good.
(both laughing)
(Phil) - Dave and Connor,
father and son from Salt Lake City, Utah.
(Dave grunting)
Oh. I just ruptured my Achilles.
It's an amazing experience,
but unfortunately for us, it's come to an end.
(Connor) It was a little bittersweet because we were winning legs
on one leg.
We're gonna show 'em what an old man and a young kid can do.
(Phil) - Joey and Meghan,
YouTube sensations from Los Angeles, California.
Hallelujah, raise the roof! Raise the roof!
Raise it, raise it, raise it!
(vocalizing)
Oh, no!
When we did the race the first time,
combined we had half a million subscribers.
Now, it's like, three million.
It was really exciting seeing all of our fans
just so excited for us every single leg of the race
that we were on, that we wanna definitely make them proud
and make it to the very end.
(Phil) - Leo and Jamal,
cousins from Southern California.
In our last season, Jamal and I,
we were being sneaky and conniving.
(man) But you guys, you turned the beards though, right?
(together) - No.
We didn't even see them.
- You wanna lie to them? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've been here for two hours,
so, I don't know, maybe you guys are gonna lose.
The last season Jamal and I were targeted quite a bit.
But I think this time around, it's gonna take a lot more.
The creativity is gonna up a notch.
We are the Afghanimals and we haven't been fed yet.
(evil voice) We haven't been fed
with our million dollars. (slurping)
(both laughing)
(Phil) - Margie and Luke,
mother and son from Colorado.
Don't give up!
I don't know, I don't know.
(crying)
(sobbing)
I'm really nervous about running the race.
Um, I've five years older than I was the first time.
(Phil) - Bopper and Mark,
lifelong friends from Clay County, Kentucky.
Oh! (Screaming)
(screaming) Whoo, baby!
Hey, baby!
Never give up on Kentucky, baby.
This is the second opportunity for life-changing money
for us to help our families.
We're gonna ride together, we're gonna die together.
(marching band playing)
Nice to see familiar faces.
Now, before we get started,
I do have an important announcement.
Last night, one of our racers had to make an emergency visit
with our race doctor.
- A little tender here? - Yeah, tender.
- All up in here? - Yeah, right there.
I took a pancreas attack the day before
I come to-- to be on the race.
I'm waiting for him to say, "Brother",
you fixing to hit the race again."
Bopper, I've just been consulting
with the race doctor, Dr. Horowitz.
And he has informed me that he does not think
you are healthy enough to race around the world.
Whew.
Now, this is devastating.
I mean, this is definitely devastating to me and my family.
You know, this is...
(Dr. Horowitz) You have an inflamed pancreas
which can be a major, major problem if it goes bad.
I mean, it could kill you.
I know this news is devastating to you guys.
(Mark) Oh, I mean, devastating is an understatement.
I mean, I love this guy.
There is some good news.
There can't be no good news. We can win this thing.
Mark, there is some good news.
If you wanna race, we can find another partner
for you to race with.
You would be doing it for Bopper.
And we will team you up with somebody
so you'd get the opportunity to go around the world and race.
And you still have the chance to go and win that million dollars.
Oh, God.
You have my blessings, man. I would not ask you
to-- to take something from your family, man.
You can not not do it.
I'll do it, but I mean, well, this is the hardest decision
that I've ever had to make in my life, I'm telling you, man.
Mark on the other hand, is fit to race.
And so, he will be taking part with another teammate--
somebody who has Bopper's blessing,
and somebody who will also be representing Kentucky.
Here she is.
(cheering)
Welcome back, Mallory.
Howdy. Oh, my God!
I'm just so happy to be here.
I ain't never seen nobody love the race
more than Bopper and my dad.
But um, you know, I couldn't leave Mark at the starting line.
We're gonna make our state proud.
In Kentucky, you got each other's back.
I think we're gonna be triumphant.
I will.
(Bopper) Mallory's a tiger, she gonna make him young.
I couldn't have put him in better hands.
I think they're gonna do great.
Okay, let's race.
You are about to travel
to the most populated country on Earth--
China.
(cheering and applause)
Now, if you win this leg, you will win an Express Pass...
and a second Express Pass that you must hand over
to another team before the end of the fifth leg.
But I can promise you that
most of you will be eliminated... again.
And only one team will win that elusive one million dollars.
(cheering and applause)
Now, your first destination is Guangzhou,
which is represented by one of the Chinese symbols
that is on those hats over there.
See those two guys standing on the podiums over there?
You will find that symbol hidden on some of the band members.
If you wanna get on that first flight to China,
find it fast and bring it to me,
band member included.
Then you can get into one of the Ford Fusion Energies
and drive to LAX.
These hybrids can be charged by plugging in,
so please plug in your car before you catch your flight.
Is everybody ready?
(cheering and applause)
All right, the world is waiting for you...
again.
Good luck.
Travel safe.
Go!
(overlapping shouting, marching band playing)
Line, line, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
Come on, Leo! Come on, Leo!
- Come on, come on, come on! - Whoo!
Yeehaw!
Let's go, right here.
- Nadiya, wait, wait, wait. - Right here, right here.
Flight, Flight, Flight, Flight, Flight, Flight!
Is it on their cape? I don't see it.
- Come on, Mark. - Hey, Mallory, Mallory.
Go straight up this line right here, right up this line.
Rach, Rach!
(band) - U-C-L-A!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
I got one, Leo. Come on, Leo!
Come on, Leo!
Hey, Cord, is that him? You got him?
Woo-hoo-hoo!
- Congratulations, you're on the first flight. - Let's go, baby!
Yes!
- Let's go! - Yes! Yes!
- Congratulations, you are on the first flight. - Whoo!
- Thanks, Phil. - Let's go.
That's it, come on.
Whoo!
Get in the car, let's go, Leo! Come on!
The Afghanimals, baby!
Don't let them get the hang of being ahead of us.
Hurry up, Leo.
Good job, man! (Laughing)
Everybody's always excited to see us, I don't know why.
Congratulations, you are on the first flight.
Whoo!
Right here, right here! Natalie!
Let's go, come with us.
Congratulations.
(girls cheering) You are on the first flight.
- Let's go! - Thanks, bye!
Over here!
That is correct, but you are now on the second flight.
We're on the second flight, John.
That sucks.
(Natalie) - Let's go.
Let's do it, girl!
- Let's go. - All right.
Woo-ee!
(Dave) Ah, this is so exciting.
We're on our way to China!
(Mallory) - We gotta win this.
Oh, we are, we're gonna stay in it to win it.
Third time's a charm.
(Rachel) I mean, these are all the teams, like,
that I was a fan of.
And I'm super starstruck right now,
like, super "Amazing Race" starstruck.
Meghan, we're on the race again!
This is so crazy to be back.
- My blood is pumping! - Let's go, let's go!
It's good to have this feeling again.
♪ ♪
(Mark) Is this the way we wanna go?
(Mallory) - I think so, yeah.
I thought we had to go towards Los Angeles.
I'm so bad with navigation.
It's really tough traveling anywhere
with somebody that you don't know as well,
much less like around the world.
We gotta get to really knowing each other,
weaknesses and strengths.
Now, will you eat nasty stuff, Mallory?
I've never tried a food I don't like--
except for cole slaw-- I don't really like it but I'll eat it.
You-- you said you'll try a dress on?
Hold it, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Look for the charging stations.
Is that it? That's it. Yeah, that's them.
- Oh, right here, right? - Right here.
Plug the charging cord in.
Okay.
- Plug it in, Nadiya. - I am!
Stop worrying about stupid (--)!
No other girls are coming. Shut up.
The Afghanimals have arrived.
And if it's possible to upgrade us to first class...
Thank you so much. I love China.
Shoot, I left the passports. Just kidding.
We're-- we're already leaving.
To have switched partners,
I didn't even know his last name.
- Yeah. - I was like, "Mark, what's your last name?"
We got communications issues to work out,
We're glad we have a whole flight to China.
- Exactly. - Mm-hmm.
That's what we're both gonna do-- whatever we gotta do
for Bopper is what we're gonna do.
Yeah, man. Sorry, dude.
We couldn't believe Bopper. Yeah, that was crazy.
We were-- I mean, we were heartbroken.
This one was over there crying.
- Yeah, I was crying. - See, I was like,
she's already started the waterworks.
(laughter)
I just still-- I don't-- it just don't feel right.
It's hard to see him leave,
because he really, absolutely loved to do this race.
It still bothers me, and I'm on the race.
But it's just-- oh, it's gonna kill me, man.
Every time we go, like-- when I get to China
and he ain't there?
That's like telling me, somebody I can't race
with Nadiya, I would be like, "What?"
And I'd be at home, like, "Bitch",
you better not go nowhere."
China, here we come.
(Connor) Being on the first flight's huge,
I mean, you virtually have to be on that first flight
if you want a chance at winning the leg
and getting the two Express Passes.
We're gonna have at least an hour lead on the second flight.
We're on the second flight on our way to Guangzhou, China.
We're with Team YouTube, the country singers
the Globetrotters, Luke and Margie,
Mark and Mallory and Team Rachel.
(Phil) All teams are now making
their way to Guangzhou, China.
When they land, they must travel by taxi or metro
to Guangzhou's street of wedding dresses,
which boasts the largest collection of bridal gowns
in South China.
Searching among hundreds of dress shops,
they must find one of these three stores,
each containing a limited number of clues.
(horn honking)
Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on.
- Go, go, go. - Run!
- Taxis? - Right here, right here, right here.
- Go to the metro. - Follow the signs to the metro.
Every other team went to the cabs.
You know? Okay.
Just fashion? Fashion?
- Uh... - Which one is closer? Which one is closer?
- Saddle up, partner. - All right.
Hey, this thing is either gonna work out
really good or really bad.
Back to Lone Rangers again, huh?
Oh, Lone Ranger, here we go.
We definitely hope this is the express train
to the Express Pass. Yeah, no doubt.
I'll take two, please.
This is our stop. Better be in the right place.
Holy cow.
Look at all the freaking wedding dresses.
How many freaking dress shops are in this place?
You got those three names?
Precious, Gorgeous and Silver.
English?
This way, and...?
Straight across. Okay, thank you.
(Nadiya) Look at the names, Natalie, get the names.
Wedding dress... (speaking Chinese poorly)
Natalie, it's all Asian, I can't read it.
- Yeah, this is all wedding dresses. - I know!
(Jamal) Since the last race, I got married
to a beautiful wife, Tammy.
So, I wish I could have brought my wife.
He-- yeah, they would-- it would've been really helpful.
All right, let's get somebody who speaks English.
(Leo) - Let's get out, man.
English, you speak English?
- English, anybody? - Yes?
You know where this is?
It seemed like, okay, there's four of us,
we're on the early flight, how hard can this be?
- Yeah. - Let's just work together
and find one of these three wedding shops here.
Go, go, go, go, go!
(Jet) Oh, this guy's showing 'em one.
I love China!
- Wanna go left? - Yeah.
We knew where we were going and kinda had it figured out.
So, we just stuck with that.
She pointed straight across. English?
Oh, there's the cowboys, there's the cowboys.
Let's just get out. Okay, we're okay.
Okay, let's go, let's roll.
Dude, let's go to this hotel and ask.
Their "Amazing Race" flags are right here.
Those are not "Amazing Race" flags.
That's just Chinese flags.
Yeah, you lunatic. Shut up.
The stupid Afghanimals, I think they're a hot mess.
- They're just worse than us. - Yeah.
It doesn't look like any of us will be getting
the Express Pass any time soon.
Is this arrow for us? (Laughing)
Stop, guys, this is not funny.
We need to hurry up.
- Cord, Cord, let's try down here. - All right.
We were right there where she was pointing.
But then there's little alleys.
Ask this guy.
Here?
Thank you. This is it, this is it.
Cord, right here. Howdy.
- Hello. - We're here.
Good.
(laughing) - Thank you.
Thank you.
I don't know what that thing is.
It says "Travel by metro to find the building"
in Guangzhou with bubbles on top."
(Phil) - Measuring 1,968 feet,
Canton Tower is the tallest tower in China
and home to the world's highest Ferris wheel.
Teams will find their next clue
in one of the bubbles.
Let's roll. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Bye.
Okay. Is the metro this way?
The metro, is this the right way to go?
Is it this way? I don't even know.
We are looking for the metro, let's go, girl.
- Come on! - Come on, train!
- Whoo! - Lucky train, lucky train!
Train close, train close, train close.
Flight Time and Big Easy made it, Margie and Luke made it.
Mark and Mallory made it.
Here it is, John. Whoo!
Let's go, let's go!
Shut the door! Shut the door!
(cheering)
First train of the second plane.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
(cheering)
Looks like the other teams took off though, huh?
We're the final three, you guys.
(Caroline) We're on the metro and we're the last three teams.
We're with John and Jessica ands Joey and Meghan.
So, it's about to get crazy. Yep.
(Dave) I feel bad for turning my back.
Don't.
This is one of 'em?
Hello, are you Rich Forest and Beauty?
- Yes. - You are!
- Thank you. - Oh, thank you!
So, we're looking for bubbles.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Ooh, bye-bye. - Bye-bye.
Too close.
We're looking for the building that has this on top of it.
Bubbles on top of it?
Okay.
If you're gonna go off on the race by yourself,
you gotta have a little bit of confidence.
We can just run our own race and not worry
what everybody else is doing.
Was that group of four, was they all running together?
Surely, they didn't run right past the wedding shop?
- Two. - 4-1 is in here.
4-1, right here! That's not the name though.
It's a different street, guys.
We're on the wrong street, guys.
Go back to the main street.
(giggles)
- We're here? - All right, here we go.
Bye, everybody.
- Ready, Mark? - All day, come on, come on.
- Beautiful. - Country boy right in the middle of China.
Keep leading us, come on! He's got his GPS.
Ohh, pretty dresses!
So beautiful.
Go!
I'm 56 and I'm not the fastest runner out there.
But he's holding my hand, pulling me along.
But now, we have an agreement.
Yeah, yeah.
If I squeeze his hand, he has to let go,
because he's going too fast.
He doesn't wanna hurt his old mom.
Oh, my gosh!
- Keep going! - Let's go this way.
Here it is! Here it is!
Which store? This one?
(overlapping chatter)
Clue, do you have a clue for us?
Okay, we got the clue!
"Travel by metro to find the building
in Guangzhou with bubbles on top."
Thank you, thank you!
(sputtering)
We gotta go back to the subway.
All right, the subway was this way, right?
- Yeah. - Let's go.
- Will you show us the way? - Yes.
Okay, we're rolling.
Whoo! Let's go.
You know where you're going?
- Yes. - Okay, we'll follow you.
(Jessica) Since the last time we were on the race,
John and I are now engaged.
I've never seen John, like, so involved
in wedding stuff, so...
(both laughing)
Here? It's closed.
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God, no.
Yes, come on!
No?
This is somebody's house.
Guys, we are so pathetic right now.
Oh, my God, this is horrible.
That's where we're going?
Hopefully, we're in the right place.
- Bubbles on the top! - This has gotta be it right here.
Holy cow.
- Ay-yi-yi. - Holy cow, look at that.
(whistles)
If you fall from this far, that bubble ain't gonna save ya.
All right, where's the clue gonna be?
It's gotta be in the bubble somewhere.
Oh, man, check that out!
If you never felt like you was on top of the world before.
What number do we get in?
How 'bout 15? Wow!
My goodness, gorgeous.
In ever direction it's nothing by city.
I've never seen anything like that.
Whoa, I tell you what! Oh, your gravy.
Okay, now... a-ha-ha!
- What do you got? - Oh-ho-ho!
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
- Oh, you son of a... - Come on.
It said "Try again",
so we knew we had to get in a different car.
Well, we might as well just freaking get comfy
for a minute. Might as well enjoy the ride, man!
The bad thing is how slow we're going around.
This is nerve wracking.
Where in the world is everybody else?
- Is it far? - No.
Here, Jen, this way.
This?
This? Come on, guys.
Oh, right there.
(John) There's the other teams.
Hey, are you all just getting here?
- Yes! - What the heck?
(overlapping chatter) Oh, my gosh.
(Nadiya) So, we saw the second flight.
It just, like, hit us like a ton of bricks.
Like, how long have you been running around in the streets
and made no progress with these fools?
Like, are we supposed to look inside of 'em?
- Jen? - Yeah?
Do you know what you're looking for?
Not a clue.
I feel like I'm a bridesmaid or something.
I don't think this is the store.
Oh, my gosh.
I can't find my size. Like, what is this?
White is not my color.
- Is this the right place? - I don't think so.
This is a train wreck. Should we just leave 'em?
(Jamal) We hear Caroline and Jen
take the twins away from us.
Fine with us.
This one?
- Right here, right here. - Go, shh, shh, shh.
Here it is, Jamal.
Shh, shh, shh. Hide it, hide it, hide it.
Go on the street, go on the street.
Come with us, come with us, come with us.
Just roll out?
We might wanna just get on the next available one.
- We gotta get the clue! - We just turn around and get on 16.
Let's just turn around and get on the other one.
We're still first in line. Awesome!
Let's open it. (Trilling)
I'm so nervous.
(cheering)
"Search for your next clue at the stadium on the river below."
Right there.
- Hi! - Hey, who we got?
- It look like Marge and Luke. - Holy cow!
They were on the second flight.
You talk about a flip.
- Dave and Connor. - Rachel.
They're seeing us gain right now.
Oh, my God. This is insane.
- Look at the door. - They'll find it.
- Look at the door. - They still haven't found it.
Just keep your eye out for some yellow and red stuff.
Look at the door.
(Jet) - Seriously? No way.
No way!
Into the bubble.
There it is. There it is.
Let's see which one finds it first.
Look, right there! Ha-ha-ha!
(Brendon) - Are you kidding me?
Rach, we've been in here for, like, five minutes
and we didn't see that?
"Try again"?
We gotta go around again? Shoot!
"Search for your next clue at the stadium
on the river below you."
"Try again", shoot.
Oh, we have to get in another bubble car.
- Wah wah! - Our bubble just burst.
- We gotta find the clue. - Mark, turn around.
Where?
- Oh, my gosh. - "Try again".
We got on the wrong one.
- Jet, come on. - Oh, yeah, we gotta get off this thing.
The cowboys got it.
Cowboys just got off. Right there, what's that?
I mean, that-- that looks like a stadium.
- That's a stadium. - Right?
So, I guess we'll get off and get on another one.
This is a pretty slow ride.
Oh, my God.
So frustrating.
Get it, girl!
- Guys, we've been doing this all morning. - We've been here.
We've been down this block. What the heck, I know!
(Natalie) Let's leave them, come on.
This way? He's saying this way.
Hello!
Here comes another team. Shoot, the Afghanimals!
The Afghanimals just arrived.
"Search for your next clue at the stadium
on the river below you."
Both sides of us are shaking their heads,
like they have no idea.
The cowboys were in an even number bubble.
(Margie) We have to go again. Try again.
We don't want the same one.
"Search for your next clue at the stadium
on the river below you."
- Thank you. - Xiexie.
- Heck yeah! - Let's go!
We can totally win this Express Pass!
What's in here?
No, no, no. Oh, my God.
I'm gonna take one of these dresses and strangle myself.
We need a better plan.
- Let's just look this way. - I think it is back here. They were blocking it.
This is it? This is...
Can we have one too?
"Find the building in Guangzhou with bubbles on top."
(John) Okay, so we need to go back to the train station.
Have a good day!
Okay, you guys, I don't feel like we have a plan.
We need help.
But this doesn't look right.
Oh, my gosh, we're the only ones now?
Everybody else got clues?
We don't get our act together, we're gonna get eliminated.
It's over now. I feel like I'm in a nightmare.
We're off to a great start.
We're looking for these three stores.
- Will you show us? - Go, go, go, go.
I found this guy who knew every shop.
Where was this guy hours ago? Yeah, I know.
I'm gonna kill myself.
We were at that store, Nadiya, we didn't look.
- No more, no more. - No more?
He took us to the first shop, all the clues were gone.
Here, this one? No more here?
(together) The second shop, all the clues were gone.
Here, here, here, here, here, here, here.
- Here? - This one!
Which one?
Do you have more for us?
(overlapping chatter)
- Oh, my God. - Great job, girls, great job.
Oh, God, we love you twinnies.
(Dave) The cowboys were in which number?
16. Let's just get in 16.
Okay, 16's our bubble. We're back!
What are y'all doing? What's going on?
(Dave) - We know 16 has it.
The moment of truth.
- Okay. - We got it. The stadium.
(Mark) The Afghanistans is right here.
(Mallory) Yeah, I think they got it right.
"The stadium at the river below you."
The river below us. This stadium right here.
You sure?
Come on.
Here comes another team.
This view is crazy. This is unreal.
Oh, my goodness. John and Jessica.
- Whoa! - Check it out!
(Mark) The YouTubers. Everybody's showing up.
- Oh, my gosh. - Crazy.
"Search for your next clue at the stadium..."
"on the river below you."
Okay, so we've got the river below us.
- (gasps) - "Try again".
Oh, my God. We gotta ride it again.
I mean, look at all these rivers around here.
That's it!
I just wanna make sure to be sure.
I mean, once you get it, you get it.
But, like, look how many times we've been around.
You're gonna convince us both that we ain't gonna know
whether it's right or wrong.
I think we gotta second guess it though.
I mean, look at-- No, we don't.
I see it as plain as day.
It was right down below us, but she don't know me that well
to believe in my decisions.
That's not gonna come right off the bat.
We're just making sure. I'm sorry, I'm scared
with all those other teams behind us.
- Come on, hurry up. - We're getting on the bubbles.
Let's go, come on. Excuse us.
Inside, please.
- How do we know? - I think it's in every one.
"Search for your next clue at the stadium on the river below you."
(Natalie) Are you sure that's the right one?
There's no right and wrong one.
Once it closes, we can read it.
Okay, "Try again".
(gasps) I told you!
Those are the ones that are left, Natalie!
- So, why didn't you tell me? - I told you!
I said are you sure this is the one?
Now, we have to go all the way around.
Natalie, you're such a fool.
Whatever, how are you supposed to know which one it is?
You said, "Nadiya, every single one is a right one."
Idiot.
♪ ♪
- Road Block! - What do you got?
It says "Who's feeling wired?"
(Phil) This orange spiring stadium
hosted the opening and closing ceremonies
of the 2010 Asian Games.
In this Road Block, teams are required to perform
five high-wire flips as they travel
300 feet to the top of a stadium tower.
When the wire master has flipped out over their performance,
he'll hand them their next clue.
Oh, that is all you.
Ay-yi-yi, you're talking about close your eyes and flip!
Oh, no way.
(Jet) You know, it's an Express Pass leg,
so getting the Express Passes would be huge.
Road Block. Do you want to?
Yeah, why not? Let's do it fast.
- Whoo! - Atta boy!
- How you like me now? - I like it!
- That was your colors. - Really?
- Yeah. - It matched my hair.
The yellow and the red with the flames.
- Oh, yeah? - (laughing)
You the demonstrator?
Flip over five times.
One, two...
You can do it, baby. I'm proud of you!
We got company, you better hustle!
Let's ride.
300 feet, man, you guys have something about heights
in this town, huh?
At least you get time to say a long prayer on the way down.
(chuckles)
I don't like walking around the top of towers
or anything like that.
But Jet and I have both been put out of our comfort zones
in the race, and we almost expect that.
Thank you.
So, even though you're 300 feet in the air
with two little bitty wires and a sweet suit I got...
- Please. - You just gotta do it.
You know what I mean? There's not an option "B".
That's it?
Oh, easy!
Oh, my gravy!
Holy cow.
Get it on, little brother!
(shouting) Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
Whoo!
And action.
Ow! Ow, ow, ow!
Whoo!
- Ow, ow, ow! - Woo-hoo-hoo!
Hey, brother, man!
I think this town likes heights.
Oh, man, I'm ready to get down!
Whoo! Hot dog, man!
Ay-yi-ya!
Not for me, man. I ride bulls.
Woo-hoo! Go, Brendon!
Hey, I do good up there.
- Good luck! - Good job, baby.
- Get your stuff, let's go. - Yeah, come on.
Whoo, look at this. I even got flames.
"Make your way on foot to the first pit stop."
(Phil) Teams must now make their way
on foot to Guangzhou's Opera House.
This futuristic building has become a favorite
of architecture enthusiasts around the world.
The first team to check in here will win an Express Pass
and a second they must hand to another team.
The last team to check in here will be eliminated.
We're number one if we can find this.
Oh, yeah, the world's biggest wedgie!
Whoo!
Brachel's on fire, baby!
Wow. It's beautiful.
Bookie, Bookie! Whoo!
Bookie, you totally got this!
Whoo, that's my husband!
Ow! My husband!
I'm king of the world!
- Woo-hoo! - Yay-yeah!
- Welcome to Guangzhou, China. - Thank you very much, sir.
Cowboys, you're back for a third time.
Yeah, better stop messing up.
And it's starting well, 'cause you are team number one.
(cheering)
- How you like that? - Yeah!
You have an Express Pass for you guys.
- Sweet, we need it! - And a second Express Pass
that you must hand over... We might not need it!
To another team before the end of the fifth leg.
I'll take this one, you get that one.
Thank you much, appreciate that. Thanks, Phil.
We're running our own race, and you win two Express Passes
for doing your own thing.
It's a good thing that we got the Express Pass,
but I really just soon not have to give the other one away.
I think anybody would ask me, I'm just gonna tell 'em
I've left it up to Cord.
- Don't do that. - (laughing)
This is taking forever.
If we had got on the right one, Natalie, then--
Well, you wouldn't have...
- Stop blaming me for you jumping in here. - Yeah, you can blame me
for everything, so why didn't you tell me not to get in here?
I told you, I said are you sure?
You said yes, there's no wrong--
- I saw-- I saw that. - You said there's no wrong one.
Looks like the twinnies got a no.
Twinnies for sure got in the wrong one.
They do not look happy.
They don't have a clue.
Things are getting crazy in these bubbles.
They was on the first plane, right?
Yeah!
This is like, the worst day.
Worst day ever.
Whoo!
- Brendon and Rachel? - Yeah?
You're team number two.
- Yes. - Whoo, we'll take it!
We gotta go up there?
Oh, my God.
I'm still willing to get in there and give it 100%.
I have something to prove to all those old women out there.
(laughing)
Whoo!
Whoo! We got it, Dad!
- Whoo! - Way to go, my boy.
Oh! Oh!
Come on!
Whoo!
Two.
Oh, my God.
Five.
That's it, I'm done! Take me down!
Whoo!
(cheering)
That was so cool! But I think...
(laughing) That was so cool.
Whoo!
Come on, Leo.
Whoo! That's five, right?
One more!
No, that's five!
Just for fun!
Okay!
Whoo!
Let's go seven!
Whoo! Let's go eight!
Whoo! Okay, that's enough.
Dave and Connor, you are team number three.
- Whoo! - Whoo!
Good job, Dad.
Margie and Luke,
you are team number four.
(cheering)
Leo and Jamal, you are team number five.
And we're very sexy, yeah!
- Thanks. Taxis now? - Yes, yes.
- Those are right too. - And 12.
All the even numbers. 12, 14.
Joey's going back again. We're screwed.
Yeah, the YouTubers screwed like us.
Okay, thank you.
We wanna go into theirs, the blonds.
16.
- Try, try again. - Okay.
So, are we gonna take a chance and go into, or wait for 12?
I don't know.
- That looks like a stadium. - Yeah.
Are we gonna try to or no?
I didn't see anybody coming off of this.
We should've been paying attention when the teams were coming off.
We might as well wait for a guaranteed in.
So, what, just wait 25 minutes more?
It takes so-- It's right there.
- Nadiya! - It is right there!
They're gonna be out!
You gotta hang with the last team.
Boy, they're freaking out.
Definitely feeling the pressure.
Make a decision. We have this window to decide.
I don't know, Natalie!
I'm not gonna miss it. Hurry up! Decide!
- Fine. - Come on.
What if it's wrong, Natalie?
- Yes or no?! - Natalie, no.
- Nadi, you aren't making a decision-- - What if it's wrong?
- Okay, then no. - You already made the wrong decision.
You're an idiot.
Now, we're in absolute last place.
You decide what you wanna do.
They're already halfway through.
Nadi, we should've gotten in that one.
You're an idiot.
Now, we're just giving up spaces for no reason.
And what if we went in there
and there was nothing there, Natalie?
It's even numbers, Nadi!
You wanna take the risk, take the risk.
I'm getting in four.
Come on, I'm going.
All right, flip it over and see, please.
- Yes. - Okay, we should have gone
on two from the first place. Shut up.
I thought we had, like, at least a couple teams
behind us, but now, there's only one.
Let's go!
- They just got off. - Yeah, and they're out.
Now, we're in absolute last.
(sighs) Ready.
Whoo! What's going on?
Oh, you look terrible.
Whew, he's looking fine, isn't he?
No, you don't have to lie now.
No, no, I know you got your strategy going,
but don't lie. He looks terrible.
Better me than Big Easy. That would be a sight to see.
Ooh, I don't feel very safe. (laughs)
They don't call me Flight Time for nothing. I'm about to show you why.
Whoa!
One! Two!
Three!
Four!
Five, whoo!
Five.
Whoo!
That was a good time.
Flight Time coming down, baby.
You look like a flying turkey!
Whoo! I look great!
- Okay, come on. - If we get eliminated...
We're not getting eliminated today.
Come on, we gotta hustle. Maybe we can catch 'em.
Ahh! Hi!
They're here behind us.
Mark and Mallory, team number six.
Team number-- we'll take that.
Flight Time and Big Easy, that would make you team number?
- Lucky seven, we'll take it. - Better than 11.
Mark, I gotta ask you how you're feeling.
Because everybody was feeling for you and Bopper at the start.
We're trying our best for Bopper.
I was feeling miserable today
because I miss the old fella, I wish he was here with me.
But God had other plans for him.
Even though this is hard and we feel like we have
other teammates that we can't let down,
it's still about two people trying to make it
around the world, and...
- We'll figure it out. - It's gonna be great.
Jessica and John,
you are team number eight. (cheering)
(Jessica) I'm kinda happy that we don't have
the two Express Passes again this race,
'cause we don't have to worry about not using it,
or using it, or not have to worry about it at all.
Caroline and Jennifer, you are team number nine.
High five, sister.
- Oh, my God, Road Block. - Road Block, you do it.
- Okay. - We're second to last.
Twinnies are behind us.
- Decide. - I don't care.
Decide! I'm sick of making the decisions
and you yelling at me! Okay, you do it.
Meghan, look, I'm a dragon!
You look like a beautiful dragon!
I'm flying!
Come on, twinnie! Let's go!
Aah! Oh, my gosh!
Holy freaking crap, I feel terrified.
Oh, my God!
Come on, twinnie, you gotta go!
Oh!
Whoa!
Whoo, get it!
Whoo! I did it!
Good job!
Serious wedgie.
"Warning: The last team to check in may be eliminated."
- Okay, hurry up. - Holy crap, okay.
Come on, twinnie.
Joey and Meghan, you are team number ten.
(cheering)
- Oh, good, whew! - We're still in it.
Ah! Oh, my God! Wedgie.
We just sucked today, we just did terrible.
We made all the mistakes that we said we wouldn't.
So, it feels really, really bad.
Come on, twinnie!
But Natalie and I have been living together for 27 years.
I'm still thankful to have-- be a twin
and have Natalie be my twin sister.
- Five! - Whoo!
Natalie and Nadiya,
I'm sorry to tell you that you are last.
And you have been eliminated from the race.
I can't-- I can't even.
I can't even look at you, Phil.
The worst day to have a bad day for us.
- Yeah. - And it was one of our worst days ever.
We're twins, for God sakes. We can work together so well.
And today we just tore each other apart
- instead of, you know... - Yeah.
Um, working together like we should have.
But it's like, you know, why can't we just--
- Get it together? - Yeah, exactly.
