The amazing race is back.

In this season of surprises,

we bring back some ofrace's

most iconic game pieces.

Every leg has something
amazing happening.

- If teams avoid elimination...
- Yes! -Yes!

They'll race through the world's

most iconic destinations... My god.

Wow.

Immersing themselves
in vibrant cultures...

This is such a gift.

Once-in-a-lifetime experiences...

It's constant adrenaline, fear,

questioning myself, "am I worthy?"

and exhilarating adventures.

This season is unlike

any season we've ever seen before.

We have to plan for the unexpected.

- It's just, like, epic.
- Epic.

Emotions will run high

as the tension builds...

What strengths do I have, Bernie?

'Cause you're stronger, you're
better than me on everything.

To a final showdown.

I did not leave everything behind to lose.

In the end, only one team

will win the $1 million
prize and the amazing race.

This is awesome!

This is amazing!

Carrigain is gonna help us stay in track.

My brain's gonna go a
thousand miles an hour

and I'm gonna count on her to be able

to be, "no, this is our
mission, this is our step."

I feel like we're a very competitive coupl.

- Yeah.
- But we like to have fun

- while we do it.
- While we're competing. Yeah.

We can destroy our
friends and laugh about it.

- Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.
- Right? Yeah.

I wouldn't say we work well together.

He's kind of my annoying brother.

Bold on "annoying."

Let's go!

Welcome, everybody.

Welcome to the capital of movie making.

Welcome to the academy
museum of motion pictures.

I am so excited

about all the potential
energy in front of me right now.

And 14 teams. Have you noticed that?

We've never done that before.

I wanted you all

to introduce yourselves to each other

because, as you know,
in any competition,

you want to know your competition.

So, why don't you tell us
a little bit about yourselves.

We've been applying
for the last seven years,

and, our-our number has
finally been called, and we...

We can't even believe
that we're here right now.

We thought we were
getting punked, honestly.

We are dungeons & dragons streamers

ready for the biggest
adventure of our lives.

We are ready.

We're both lumberjacks.
We're from St. Louis, Missouri.

I'm 35 and he's 64.

I want to look like that at 64. Don't you?

That's goals right there. That's my goals.

We've been married 25
years, and we are parents

- of eight sons.
- Eight sons.

My gosh. Whoa.

And I heard that

you were coming on to the amazing race

because you wanted
to have one more child,

and you wanted it to be... no?

- I'm out, I'm out, I'm out.
- No, you're out.

You're out. All right.

This season, there
are more big surprises

than ever before.

Wow.

Right out of the gate, you
are gonna have to make

a pivotal decision when you encounter

the first ever fork in the road.

- No.
- Fork in the road?

And when you get to the pit stop,

there will be two eliminations.

- My god.
- Wow.

Your first clue is on top

of your luggage, which is

at the bottom of the
stairs. You'll rip and read

that first clue and you'll find
out where you are going to.

Is everybody ready to race?

All right.

The world is waiting for you.

Good luck.

Travel safe.

Go!

- Come on, Jack. We got this.
- Let's go.

Be careful, be careful, be careful.

Come on, Jack. Yes. Work.

Yeah.

Come on, Jack. We got this.

Where you at, bridge?

- I'm behind you, dad.
- All right.

This way, this way, this way, this way.

- I'm coming!

- Coming, sis?
- Yup.

Come on, let's get it for Phil.

- Yes.
- Here we go, baby, here we go.

Come on, pops. Let's
go, let's go, let's go.

Come on, babe.

- Okay, babe. Here we go.
- All right.

Route info.

- Hong Kong!

"When you land, race to tian tan Buddha

to find your next clue."

- All right. All right.
- Come on.

Go. Got this.

"Exit the museum and
follow the marked paths

to cars parked on sixth street."

Come on, Jack. We got this. Come on.

My god!

Grab it.

- Is that marked?
- Yeah. Let's go.

- All right, let's get in these cars.
- Okay. I see it.

- Come on, mama.
- Hurry.

We got to ask somebody
how to get to lax.

Let's follow someone, yeah? Okay.

Jack lived in L.A. for four years.

So we actually think

we can get to the airport
without any directions.

I'm gonna try to follow
this car up ahead of us.

We got to get on the first flight.

Hey, that's an hour difference, man.

We cannot be one of
the first teams eliminated.

And there's two teams
eliminated. It's not just one.

- Holden, we're on the friggin' race!
- Yay!

- This is happening.
- Seven years, baby, it's happening!

- Okay. There-there it is.
- Okay, there's a parking spot. I see it.

Okay.

Lord, let us get on that first plane, man.

- That's an hour difference.
- I know.

- There it goes. 9101. Okay.
- Okay. Yes! We found it.

- Okay.
- Does it say the parking spot?

- Yes.
- Okay.

Yeah, this is the blue
team, mom and daughter.

Mom and daughter, great. Yup.

Wait, the parking spot, behind.

What? Where are you seeing that?

- Right in front of your eyes.
- My god. You're a genius.

Turn left in here.

There should be an
entrance coming up, dad.

Okay, cool.

My god. There's the team.

- Self-parking...
- Entrance. Perfect.

- Entrance.
- Nailed it.

- Yup, this is it, let's go.
- Yup, yup, up. Let's go.

You guys are all set.

- Thank you. It's that easy?
- My god.

Seat is 159, boarding at 10:50.

- We got on the first flight.
- My gosh. It's earlier.

- We got on the flight!
- Yes, yes, yes.

- Yes, yes.
- My god.

Ooh.

- Yeah.
- Come back.

Right here. Come on.

We need to check in.

Yeah.

- Hi. Hi.
- Welcome to cathay pacific.

- Thank you.
- My god.

It's on the first flight? On the 11:30?

- My god. Hell, yes.
- Are we on the 11:30, as well?

My goodness!

- We are... next. Okay.
- Okay.

- First flight?
- Correct.

Yes!

There. Go, go, go!

It's sold out? Damn it.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Right there.
- Babe.

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

You're on our flight.

- Everyone's here already?
- Yeah. Yeah.

- We're on the second flight?
- My god. You're kidding me.

- No 11:30 flight?
- 11:30 flight is sold out.

Somehow, we're on the second flight.

How is that even possible?

- I don't know.
- Literally flew here.

It is what it is. We're in it together.

This is gonna be competitive. Damn.

- Thank you.
- Thank you. -All right.

- Awesome. Thank you.
- All right. Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

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

Thank you. Appreciate you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

No problem. Have a good night.

- Okay. Thank you so much.
- All right.

- All right. Thank you, ma'am.
- All right.

Does anyone need to go
potty? As the mother of...

One of the mothers of the group...

- As the mothers of the group...
- Does anyone need to go potty?

- We have eight sons.
- Eight sons.

- From nine years old to 24.
- Nine years old.

And it's everything you think.

It's wild, it's loud,
it's smelly, it's crazy.

- The kids are jumping off the wall.
- We have nothing new.

And it's amazing.

Lori's done a great job with our boys

of creating a safe space where
no conversation is off limits.

Scott works out of state, and so,

I am often left with all these kids.

And I think it's so important,
like, empowering her

to be able to make decisions

without necessarily
having to have my approval.

Because she's running the ship,

and I come in, and I support her,

- you know, when I can, in that.
- Absolutely.

Because she's the...
She's that number one,

you know, driver every day.

You're still in motherhood
more than I am.

- I'm just in grandmother hood now.
- Aw.

That was so sweet.

What's your name?

- Handsome stranger.
- Okay.

I was named after my dad.

Are you tall, dark and handsome then?

No.

Mark and I... we met
on the Mississippi river

working barges in 1987.

Next thing you know, we've
been best friends ever since.

- We're old, broke rednecks.
- Yeah.

We don't have a lot
of money to go places.

I've never been out
of this country before.

But we both belong to
the same motorcycle club,

and we've been all
over the United States

on our motorcycles, from coast to coast.

So our seasoning is
definitely gonna help us.

We're the old guys. That's it.

We know.

Hong Kong, baby.

Knowing that there's a double elimination

coming up means that
we have just scored huge

by getting on that first fligh.

The news of the fork
in the road it's huge.

- Blew our mind before.
- It's never been done before.

- Yeah.
- Which means two

- first-place winners.
- That's gonna be awesome.

But then, also, two teams
are gonna get eliminated,

so we hope not to be
one of those two teams.

The second flight gets
in only an hour apart, so,

with airplanes coming and
going and leaving early and late

and delayed... really,

- anything's possible.
- Who knows?

We are headed to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong.

All 14 teams are leaving Los Angeles

and flying across the pacific ocean

to the neon city of Hong
Kong, home to more than

7.5 million people.

Once they've touched
down, teams will take a taxi

and then climb hundreds of steps

to pick up their first clue
under the watchful eye

of this enormous bronze Buddha.

Hong Kong, baby. Let's do it.

"To city, to taxis." See it?

- Taxi this way?
- Yeah. Okay, perfect.

- Land to a taxi.
- Go, go. Get in.

- Do you speak English?
- Yeah. Where are you going?

We're gonna the big Buddha.

- Big Buddha.
- Okay, great.

Taxi!

We knew we weren't gonna be the first.

I'm not worried about
it. We're gonna be great.

Can you take us to tian tan Buddha?

- Yes. Yes.
- Okay.

In a race. We have to
catch up all the other cars.

Okay.

- I think we're first place.
- First place!

I can't believe it.

- We are on our way to the big Buddha.
- Yes.

It's nice to have a cushion,
but anything can happen.

Yeah.

So you still got to be
smart. Slow is steady.

Wow.

Look at that. Take a look, babe.

Look around. You're in Hong Kong.

So beautiful. I know, I know.

Take it in, baby. Take it in.

- It's cool.
- Ooh.

All right?

We're not going home today.

No. No, no, no.

I want to see it all,
baby. We can't go home.

You're gonna see it all.

You gonna see it all, all right.

It's so beautiful. My gosh.

Look at all the mountains.

It's foggy, a bit.

There's the Buddha. Look.

- Where?
- Up there.

- Wow.
- Yeah. Beautiful.

- So cool.
- Wow.

- It is gorgeous.
- So beautiful.

- My god.
- Wow.

- Take it in. It's so beautiful.
- Beautiful.

- My god. Look at that.
- Wow.

- We said we'll roll hard.
- Boo-yah. Yes.

- Yeah. Let's do it.
- Teng, wait here for us.

Wait here.

There's some people there.

- Perfect. Thank you.
- Perfect.

Okay, you'll just stay right here,

- and we'll be right back.
- Okay.

Thank you so much.

- You're the best.
- Thank you. Thank you.

- Look, look, look.
- You see that Buddha up there?

My gosh.

- So pretty.
- Wow.

We pay after.

- We go somewhere else.
- Come on, babe.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

- My god.
- Look at how cool that is!

Two by two.

- You good?
- Feel the Booty.

Come on, thighs.

- My god.
- Let's go.

It is so beautiful.

All right, open it.

Whoa!

- Here we go. Okay.
- Route info.

"Take the sun ferry
to cheung chau island

and search for your next
clue among the promenade."

- Okay. Let's go.
- Ooh! I'm out of breath.

- It's amazing.
- You ready, babe?

Let's roll.

Nice job, mom.

Nice job, mom.

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

- Sun ferry.
- What time do they leave?

Chung, can I use your phone?

Yes. Thank you.

It's 8:32.

- Okay.
- There's one that leaves in 28 minutes.

Okay.

And then, the next one leaves at 9:45.

Ooh.

Then after, that they
leave in 30-minute intervals.

Chung, how far? How long?

- 25 minutes?
- What time's now?

We might be able to
make that 28 minute...

My god.

If we can make that one, game over.

- Shoot.
- I mean...

- Did they go this way?
- Wait, we went...

- No, they went the other way.
- Are you sure?

Yeah.

We, I think, saw Ana

and Jonathan go a different way.

We are... Trying to go
to central pier number 5,

and trusting that we are on the right way.

- Hello.
- Tian tan Buddha?

Yeah, baby, baby.

Hi. Do you know where
this is? Okay, let's go.

Go here. Somebody in there?

You got to get in the queue.

Taxi? Ooh! Hi.

Yes. Hurry up. Hurry
up, Scott! Come on!

Come on, Holden.

Pops.

We got to Hong Kong, we had to

hit the ground running, literally.

It's the fork in the
road double elimination.

We are not going home today.

- I've told him.
- I see.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- My gosh. That is the ferry.
- You see it? Where'd you see it?

That is the ferry right there.
It says sun ferry. Sun ferry.

Is that the actual ferry
we're getting? That's it?

Yes.

- Let's go.
- That's it. That's the one.

Lord Jesus, help us,
help us, help us, help us.

- We need to get on that ferry.
- My god.

- Where's the terminal?
- Right here, right here.

Chung, where do we pay?

- Right there. Let's go.
- Show me, show me, chung.

- Over there.
- Thank you, chung.

Thank you. Okay, come on.

Tickets? Two tickets. Emergency. 9:00.

Emergency. Tickets.

- This is pier number four.
- This is four. Yes.

- Pier number five. Perfect!
- Thank you.

Thank you. You are amazing. Thank you.

- My god.
- My god.

My god. Xiè. My god.

Xiè xi. Xiè xi.

- My god.
- My god.

- My god.
- Did we make it?

- We got on!
- My god.

- The ramp's going up. We did it.
- My god.

We pulled it off.

That was huge. That was huge.

It's just me and you on this thing.

After all we've been through,

I know that we work better
together than when we do apart.

And this just proves that.

We have been through
so much together.

It's been 14 years, going
on 1, seven years married.

We've been through the ups,
we've been through the downs.

A few years ago, there
was so much tension

within our family that

it left me to leave the house, actually.

We separated for over a year.

It actually took us

watching the amazing race together...

To start chatting,

and, you know, creating, a neutral space

where we can actually conversate.

Amazing race really
provided that medium

- for us to start talking.
- It was-it was the gateway. Yes.

- Teamwork makes the dream work, baby.
- Yes.

Our babies will be so proud.

Man. When they see us
on this boat in Hong Kong.

- I know.
- First place.

- Okay.
- I'm hoping that that's not it leaving.

- That's it?
- I don't know. I'm hoping not.

Jack, Carson, do you guys

already have tickets?
Where'd you get your ticket?

My god. What's up? We haven't. No.

- This one's at 9:45.
- That's what that man told me.

- 9:45. Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Hey, guys.
- Hi.

We're hoping

the other people can't catch up to us.

It would be huge if they don't make this,

'cause the next one's at 10:15.

That would keep us at 30 minutes.

30 minutes.

- Okay.
- All right.

On our way back down.

Lord have mercy!

No, you're not. You're doing great.

My sister doesn't do
well with stairs too much.

She's doing great today.

I am afraid of steps.

I've had a challenge with stairs,

going up and down stairs.

So I'm just really scared of stairs.

- I'm falling.
- You've got it.

- We're almost there.
- This is two of them.

We're almost there. We're almost there.

You got it, and I got you.

I'm not gonna let you go anywhere.

When I lived in south
Florida, we were getting ready

for hurricane season, and I had a pair

of flip-flops on, and I slid

and fell down a full flight of stairs.

And I had hit so hard, these stairs,

I had to have surgery.

You're absolutely doing it.

And it may not be stairs,

but it might be something
else for someone else.

And you're gonna help
them overcome that fear

- just by doing it.
- Okay.

Last set. One more together.

You got it.

Beautiful.

- All right.
- I did it.

I never thought about going down stairs

when we were training
for the amazing race, ever.

I know.

- Thank you.
- Have a good day.

Whoa. My god. Look who it is.

It's the first teams from the first flight

- are up there.
- Good. Good, good.

Two for the fast ferry, please. Thank you.

Hi. Can we get on the
9:45 to chau cheung island?

Wait. I'm gonna cry. I can't believe it.

- How did we catch up to you guys?
- What's up?

It feels really, really good

to be caught up to the first flight.

The fork in the road, and
the consequences of it

two people are gonna
come out in first place,

but two people are
gonna get eliminated today,

and we cannot be

in that group of who gets eliminated.

I'm so curious if Jon
and Ana made the 9:00.

- They had to have. Yeah.
- They had to have made 9:00.

All teams are here except
for jackye and Lauren

and Jonathan and Ana.

- Welcome to cheung chau.
- All right.

Okay. We're going north.

What's this?

I see it.

- All right.
- Come here.

- Ooh.
- Beautiful.

- Let's do it.
- Okay. Okay.

- Roadblock.
- Road... wow.

"Who's ready for some ups and downs?"

This imposing tower

is where participants
practice for Hong Kong's

annual bun-scrambling competition.

Competitors race up and down to grab

as many buns as
possible while on the clock.

In this roadblock,
instead of picking up buns,

teams must pick up a clue

tied to the top of this tower.

Do it now 'cause we have
a big lead, so do it now.

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

Is this it?

- Wow!
- How cool is this?

"There are eight lines available.

First come, first serve."

Ooh, it's coming down good.

I need you to move, babe.

You hear me?

Let's get up this thing.

You got it.

- Don't worry about it.
- It's slippery.

Don't worry about that rain.

Get your feet set. Yep.

Yeah.

Come on. Move up it.

How you feeling?

Exhausted.

You're exhausted already?

Ooh. Okay.

It's so slippery.

I bet the rain is killing her right now.

Probably making this

two times harder than
it actually is, so... Ooh!

It's hard to breathe.

Ooh, that's not good.

God.

One at a time.

You're halfway there, babe.

- You're almost there.
- I'm working, baby.

Yeah.

Show 'em what the girls can do.

Yeah, that's right.

You got it. Come on, come on.

You're right there. Don't stop now.

You got it. Yeah!

Let out that yell. Come on!

Secure it. Secure the load.

Ready to come back.

Let's blow - this popsicle
stand. You feel me?

- You did it, babe.
- All right!

- Score one point for the girls?
- Yes!

Try to catch up now.

- You did great, babe.
- Thank you.

- Come on. Ready?
- Yes.

No time to celebrate.

On to the next. Got it.

- Route info.
- Okay.

"Travel to lok kwan street park

to find your next clue."

"Fork in the road ahead"!

This is the first time
in amazing race history

that teams have
encountered a fork in the road.

When they get here,
teams have to decide

which route they want
to take to the pit stop.

Only seven teams can
go in either direction,

creating a parallel race
all the way to the mat.

A 14-team race will become

two parallel seven-team races

where two teams will be eliminated.

- Big decisions. Come on.
- Okay, let's go.

We're going to cheung chau island.

- Okay, thank you.
- All right, all right,

all right. I've got your backpack.

I love you for that.

Looks like the ferry's here?

Here we go. Cheung chau island.

So, what time does this one leave?

10:45.

- My god.
- Man, we got to wait now.

- Now we just wait.
- I need

to get some intel. I need a phone.

Yeah, we better get
some intel -i need to know

- where this is at.
- Right now. What are we doing?

We should be gathering information.

- My god.
- Let's go to McDonald's.

We need to find where this place is.

Okay, we're going.

We're off to the races.

- Excuse me. Excuse me.
- Excuse us. Excuse us.

We're trying to find lok kwan street park.

- Mike?
- Yeah, I'm here.

Perfect. And let's get a good visual on it.

Yeah, so, it's literally this street.

I know, I know, I know.

Right there, Nick. You hear it?

Look at this. So amazing.

Go, Mike, go.

- Pops, come on.
- All right, all right.

You got this, babe.

- Take this.
- Yup.

- Give me everything.
- Yeah.

I got you.

You got this, jazzy!

I'm excited. Yay!

Yes. I know how to climb.

Just like rock climbing, but with bamboo.

Where do we go?

Am I ready?

Let's go, Bernie. You got it.

Let's go, Bernie. Go, go, go!

- All right, are we on?
- Let's go, now, han!

All right.

You got it, b! You got this!

I do this for a living. Perfect.

Clear?

In my head, I'm lik, "there's no way

these guys are gonna
be able to climb up this."

But then I see Brett, out
of nowhere, just, "whoop!"

I'm like, "the heck?!"

Climbing.

There you go, there you go. Nice job!

You got this.

Where the lineup at?

Right here? Right here?

That's it, Bernie! That's it!

A lot of teams here.

A lot of spots. Everybody's here.

He's done.

My gosh. Can I go?

Come on, we got to

You got it, car. Good job.

Final push! Final push!

Yes!

I'm ready.

Can I use this?

I'm ready to go down!

Reach! Grab it!

I got it! Let's go!

Yeah, car!

Okay, I'm ready to come down!

Babe, you killed it!

Thank you. I appreciate you.

49 years old, she cruised up

that bamboo tower like
it was nobody's business.

Back to the ferry, guys.

Great job. Killed it.

- Let's go, bubblegum!
- Come on, bubblegum!

Bubblegum, you only
got three more to go.

- You there, you there.

Come on, crawdaddy!

Now just let loose. Come on down.

- Down, down. Go, go, go.

You're good. Go.

- Ooh, foot's stuck.
- Come on, Erika.

Can you grab my shoe?

Heads up, big boy!

Climbing that thing like a oak tree.

Pops is the best tree climber that I know,

still at the age of 64,
but he ain't using his feet.

He's just using ar-arms, which is harder.

He ain't putting his feet
in between the things.

All right, Jasmin, you
know how to climb a tree.

He's right there at the top.

- Lower!
- This is what you do, pops.

Keep on going. Keep climbing.

- There you go!
- Please help me, lord.

Let's get out this rain. Come on.

Come on down, pops.

It's always the hardest
right before the victory!

Let's go!

Snatch it like you want it!

There we go!

Coming down.

You did it!

I did it.

Did great. Killed it.

- It's a little farther.
- Yeah.

Run. Run.

We're killing it.

Ticketing office?

My god. Everybody's here.

- You guys killed it!
- You guys are so far ahead.

- Did you guys buy tickets already?
- No. It isn't open.

No. This is where you
went to buy 'em, I think.

My god, you guys are moving.

- Come on, Holden!
- Game of minutes, Mike!

We were not expecting
them anytime soon,

and it was a bummer that lead was gone.

My gosh. What do we do?

All right, mom. Central.

- Here.
- My god.

- Come on, dad, let's catch. We got it.
- I'm good, go ahead.

Wow.

I did not expect to see
everyone roll through like that.

Think we're still standing in line.

I'm trying to be positive,

but it's hard. We worked
so hard to get here.

Sucks, man. Sucks.

It's hard. Yeah.

- What's up, boys?
- Hey.

All right. We made the
ferry with everybody again.

There's 13 teams on this boat right now.

One of them will be -so it
means one of these teams

eliminated. Will be eliminated today.

- It's heartbreaking.
- Like, that's crazy. That's crazy.

Hey.

- There's that thing right there.
- Where?

Yes!

- Roadblock.
- You got it?

- Okay. I'm going in.
- Okay.

Somehow I'm gonna
have to get up there.

We know we've come so far.
So, we're just gonna keep going.

Okay, so...

Come on, let's go.

All right. Already, I'm
having some issues.

Thought there'd be
something for me to step on.

Just got to get up to the first one.

It's too slippery.

Almost made it. I'm gonna keep trying.

Each time I do it, I learn something new.

- Just one right move at a time.
- God.

- Let's go!
- Okay.

Yes, sis.

Yes!

- Yes!
- You've got it!

Yes!

You know this place?

Lok kwan street park?

- Hi!
- We need to go

- to lok kwan street park.
- Get in.

Can you take us to
"lock Khan" street park?

- No?
- No.

- Hi. Okay.
- Lok kwan street road?

- Scott, please get in.
- Yup.

Hi.

Can you take us to
"lock Khan" street park?

Okay.

- Are we the only ones?
- Yeah.

Ooh. All right. Looks like

we got a good jump out.
There's a team to our right here.

We're on a race to get
to that fork in the road.

Mike and I have been
watching the amazing race

since we were kids.

We've watched every single episode

of every single season.

This journey to trying to
be on the amazing race

actually started seven years ago.

Being on the amazing race is our dream.

We're excited to have
another opportunity

to apply for the amazing race.

That concludes our fourth

and hopefully final audition video.

If you really want something, go after it,

because it doesn't matter
how many "no's" you get.

- All it takes is one yes.
- Exactly.

This is what we came for, baby.

Seven years.

The wait was all worth it.

So awesome.

I don't know. There's gonna
be some strategy involved

in picking the fork in
the road here, but

I think it's gonna be chaotic

'cause we all seem to be
very bunched up right now.

I think that we're both similar

in the fact that we are go-getters.

And I think that's where
our similarities end,

because Alyssa is brilliant
in everything she does.

She was the first person in our class

to pass the national board exa.

She was a d1 soccer player.

She just does everything
exceptionally well.

And I am the clown to her genius.

I need someone to balance me out.

I'm here to win. We're here to win.

But we have to have fun, too.

And if we don't, then what's the point?

Theme of the day is footraces?

Yeah. Footraces on footraces.

Almost there!

Little more!

My god!

Yes!

You did it!

When I got that clue in my han,

something just
happened in my whole soul

that I will never be able to explain.

You did it!

It was my amazing race
moment. It's what I came here for.

Thank you. Thank you.

- We're getting back on the ferry?
- Yup.

I'll carry this. You've earned it.

Taxi!

Taxi.

Hi. Can you take us here?

"Lock Khan" street park?

Okay.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Mike, let's go.

Fork in the road.

Right there, Nick.

- Grab it?
- Yup.

- Go.
- Okay.

- Fork in the road!
- All right.

"You have reached the fork
in the road. Dance or sing."

We're dancing, we're dancing.

The fork in the road changed everything.

Doubled the stakes,
doubled the eliminations.

We were going up
against six other teams

because of this fork in the road,

and that just took the
level of competition,

- like, that much higher.
- Yeah.

It's, like, you're halfway
down the race, legs-wise,

but in the very first leg.

- Yeah. Dance.
- All right.

Let's do the dance. I
feel like you can teach me.

Okay.

Let's go.

Carson is, like, a trained dancer.

I was in a Broadway
play called the inheritance,

which won a Tony award.

- You know where you're going?
- Yup.

"Take a taxi to jao tsung."

- Fork in the road. Dance or sing.
- Dance or sing.

We're gonna sing.

When we got there, thee
was actually no teams listed

on the singing side, so it made

that decision really easy for us.

Sing our ass off. Tell you that.

- Do you want to do dance or sing?
- Dance. Dance.

Dance? Okay, we're gonna do dance.

The other option was singing,
and it was in another language.

So, just, automatically, I
was like, "thank you, next."

- Okay.
- Okay.

We're definitely dancing

because I'm a very strong dancer.

- We're dancing.
- Let's do it.

We're gonna dance!

We're dancing. Let's go.

Tea house theatre. Yeah.

- There it is.
- Here we are.

Cantonese opera is a
symphony of emotions.

A captivating blend of music,

drama, elaborate costumes
and intricate makeup.

On the sing route,

after being made up and
dressing for the occasion,

teams must learn how
to perform and sing lines

from a cantonese opera.

Coming up with the right movement

and proper pronunciation
could be overwhelming.

But if they can act the part,

they'll be rewarded with a clue

and can go to the pit stop.

- Hi. Hello.
- Hi. Hello.

"Choose any available
cantonese opera teacher."

- She looks so enthusiastic.
- Okay. Okay.

- I'm gonna have makeup -like them?
- Yes.

Okay. This is so cool.

When we got there,
we pretty quickly realized

it wasn't just singing.

Wow.

My gosh. This is so cool.

- Okay. Let's go.
- Thank you. We're there.

- "Duen" is you.
- Okay.

- "Sing yin saan."
- Yeah.

"Dung ting."

Okay. I think we're getting this.

Let's dance, baby, let's go.

Middle zone. This way.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, sir.

- Let's go.
- We're here, Mike.

Who wants to teach us?

You, you, you.

- This guy. Let's go.
- Yeah.

My goodness. Hi.

Okay, who wants to work with us?

- Yes. Yes.
- Let's go you.

It takes two to lion dance.

One to lift the head and
interact with the crowd,

the other to wear the tail

and sometimes to lift their partner.

This mesmerizing fusion of athleticism,

tradition and symbolism

epitomizes Chinese culture.

On the dance route,

teams must bring a lion to life

by learning a choreographed routine.

Once master so says
that they're in sync,

he'll hand them a clue,
sending them to the pit stop.

Who want to be the head?

He's the head. You're the head.

Okay, great.

These pants are fresh.

Basically, you had to put on

this lion's head with a lion's tail.

- Okay, so, do, do, do, then da, da, da?
- Yes. Yes. Yes.

And you had to memorize,

like, a classic, traditional lion dance.

Left to the right?

Got you. So, right to the left.

We got this, car.

Dance or sing?

I think we can do sing
because we know Vietnamese.

- I think so, too.
- Let's do it.

We choose sing.

- We have to do dance.
- We're doing dance.

We can't "pronunciate"
the street signs, much less,

you know, music.

Dance, dance.

Excuse me.

Would you be able to get
us to lok kwan state park?

Lok kwan?

Courtney, where's the paper?

- It's raining. The-the...
- Whoa. What?

We got to show them something,

'cause there's a language barrier.

- Obviously, we're dancing.
- We're singing.

- We're singing?
- Wait.

I'm-I'm a dancer, and we met dancing.

And that would have
been the obvious choice.

But there were a lot of
teams that had chosen dance.

Strategy-wise,

two teams are going home.
We can't be the last team on

either challenge.

Let's go.

Hi. Could you get us to lok kwan?

- I have order.
- You have a pickup. Okay. Okay.

All right, lord, you got to send us a taxi.

Okay. Fork in the road.

I think we can do dance.
Dance better than any of them.

They're gonna go dance, so we go sing.

- Bam, baby. Let's go.
- Good job, guys.

- Come here, mom.
- Okay.

We are gonna choose sing.

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

Could you get us here?

Lok kwan street park?

Okay.

Would you rather dance or sing?

- I think I'd rather...
- Sing, right?

- Let's sing.
- Yeah.

Cause we can't dance for anything.

- Come on.
- There we go. We sing.

Come on. Let's go, pops.

Scott and Lori.

- Here we go.
- We're gonna sing.

Okay. All right.

- Well...
- It's okay.

No, it doesn't feel okay.

Well, it's out of our control
is what I mean, though.

- Okay?
- What in the world?

It's okay.

Can you take us here?

Right here.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

So I guess that's why we were given...

- The Chinese.
- The...

And so, that was just like,

"look at the additional information."

And it has the Chinese spelling of it.

And when they were
reading the words, I guess...

It didn't make sense.

We are nurses. We're both used to,

you know, getting things right.

Like, the first time.

We met at Duke school of
nursig ten long years ago.

And that's where our journeys began.

First as friends,

and then, now, of course, as girlfriends.

I would love for us
to, like, seal our bond.

But we're also not
wanting to rush things.

We're not u-hauling it.
You know what I mean?

I mean, we have moved in together, but

I see Jasmin as my forever partner.

Big sigh.

- Big, big sigh.
- Big sigh.

In here. I think we enter here. Tea house.

Backstage.

- Hi.
- Who's fast? Who's fast?

Okay, follow me, follow me.

- Tea house theatre.
- There's the entrance. There.

Hi!

Sure.

Let's do it. Dad, put on... Hurry up.

We just tried to play to our strength,

which is singing.

I mean, we karaoke the hell out of

any bar that serves yuengling.

If you go to a karaoke bar
any given Thursday night,

we might be there, so, we can sing.

There's not enough yuengling

in the world to make this sound good.

But I think we were close.

Left to the right?

So right to the left?

- We're going in the left direction.
- To the left.

We got this, car.

It's time to dance!

Let's go.

Girl, I hope we're the first ones here.

Dad, look. Do you
want me to do the front?

- Yeah, you do the front.
- I'm gonna be the front.

Hi!

Who's the best dancer?

- Let's go. Right here.
- Okay.

There was three or
four teams already there,

"so that was a little nerve-racking. Like,"

"my gosh, there's teams already
here. We got to figure it out,

we got to figure it out, we
got to hurry, got to hurry."

- This is mine?
- Yeah.

Yeah, we're good.

We have been together for ten years,

and married for about four.

And we're performers
on the Las Vegas strip.

On the Las Vegas strip.

I'm a dancer. I've danced
in a lot of different shows.

And I'm withkà by cirque du soleil.

I work on some very
dangerous equipment,

- and I have to be on my toes.
- And then, like,

I don't know what I'm
gonna do every night.

Everything changes every single night.

I work in a... It's practically a circus.

So I feel like we're
prepared to do anything.

Yeah.

Have fun, breathe, listen to the music.

- This. This. Yeah.
- There's that one big pause.

- Should we try it?
- I'm ready to go.

- All right, let's try it.
- I'm ready to go. Yeah.

We decided not to practice for very long.

I think we are gonna
learn best in that room

with the full production.

- Outside.
- Okay.

The steps themselves
were pretty easy for me,

but it was connecting
those steps to this rhythm

and the instruments that I thik

was the trickier bit.

- We're waiting for the "da" to then go...
- Right.

No good.

- What's wrong?
- Your problem is no teamwork.

It's the teamwork. Yeah. Him?

Yeah. Yes.

Let's... let's dance.

We saw Nick and Mike
had selected dance.

And then Mark and Larry.

This is probably the side,

you know, where we could get ahead.

- We're choosing dance.
- Yeah.

- We look so lovely.
- We do.

Xiqu centre. Perfect job, Tom.

Let's go. Up the steps.

Okay. Tea what, Scott?

Tea house theatre. Backstage.

Too fast?

- Thank you. Thank you. Sorry.
- Thank you.

Okay. Thank you.

Tough judge. Tough judge.

We got this, babe.

Yeah, we do.

Scott, tell 'em what you did in college.

I was a cheerleader.

- My gosh. Slay.
- Yeah.

Hopefully, my parents'
investment in Vietnamese school

translates into the phonetic soundings

of cantonese and opera singing.

I'm feeling exhilarated.

Something about being
out here on the water.

We want to win. We want to...
We want to be able to do that.

We want to experience life.

Tortoise and the hare.
Never forget that story.

The last time I did a dance

is when I had a snake underneath me.

Yeah.

- That was called the chicken dance.
- Yeah.

Chick, chick, chick, chick.

"Get him off of me. Get him off of me."

This is it.

All right.

- Okay, so, first.
- Yeah.

Second. Up.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- Left.
- Bend, squat.

Ooh! Look like some good dancers.

Are you a good instructor?
'Cause we're dumb.

Okay.

- No good.
- No?

What-what was it?

More practice.

Correct!

- Yes! Yes!
- Yes! Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you,

- thank you!
- Yes! Thank you!

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

Okay. "Race to the pit stop."

This is Hong Kong's newest city park.

A serene oasis,

enticing visitors to immerse themselves

in this vibrant cultural
quartr of Hong Kong.

And for the first time
in amazing race history,

this is where two parallel races

will end at the pit stop.

The last team to arrive

at the cantonese upper route

and the lion dance
route will be eliminated.

All right, let's go.

- We keep the pants?
- We keep the pants.

Got it. Let's go. We travel by taxi.

We got to beat these
boys. They're gonna be

two seconds behind us, I think.

Yeah. There's the sign.

Jao tsung "one" academy.

My god, I'm so tired.

All right, there you go, we're here.

- Come on. Let's go, pops.
- All right.

Teahouse theatre?
Mom, just keep walking.

Walk slower, softer. Okay.

Apparently in this culture, they're looking

- for dainty.
- And that is not me.

Lori is not dainty.

Dainty. Dainty.

You got to hold me.
You got to hold my hip.

God, that's tough.

- Just follow him.
- I can do that.

- It's a good job. -Yes.
- Yes!

- Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.

- Thank you, guys. Thank you.
- Thank you. Awesome.

Thank you, everybody. Okay, let's go.

Hi. Thank you.

My calves are cramping.

You got it. Yeah.

- All right.
- Bow.

- Just bow. Just bow.
- Remember, bow. It's simple.

- Just talk to me while I'm doing it.
- All right.

- Just-just... just take...
- Talk to me while I'm doing it.

All right, take a deep breath.

I think my nerves were
starting to get the best of me.

Every team that goes by is
just, like, making you more crazy

in your head, thinking like,

- "are we gonna get through this?"
- Yeah.

Too slow. Too fast.

We need to keep

our stress level down
because it affected us.

Just speak to me,
please! I need to know.

- You got to wait for that beat.
- No, you don't wait for it.

I got to be ahead of it.

You got it. Just calm down.

Calm down. Stay calm.

- Man, this is hard.
- You got it, you got it.

Simplify it. Simplify it
in your head, all right?

- Bow, lift, motion, all right?
- Okay.

Chunk it. You got it. Let's go.

That's it.

Yeah!

Thank you.

- Damn.
- Forget it.

- Congratulations.
- Okay, let's get it.

All right. "Keep pants on."

Let's go.

Good job.

- Yes! Yes! Let's go.
- Yeah! Let's go!

- Okay. Congratulations.
- We are not dancers.

Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Let's go.

Aw.

I... hold on. I'm blanking right now.

We knew that whoever

was the last team on either side

of the fork in the road
was gonna be eliminated.

And we know we fell behind, but

- we just kept saying "never give up."
- Yeah.

My gosh.

I'm trying so hard.

Do this, just like this.

This is my childhood dream, man.

You want to be a female or a male?

- A male.
- Male?

Yeah.

And then your father
will be the female actor.

Thank you.

So you look beautiful, pops.

We started looking around,

and that was when we first
realized that only six teams

have made it here
for this fork in the road.

Knowing that that team
hadn't showed up yet

was cushion for us.

Okay.

This is really, really hard.

Yeah!

Thank you, thank you.

- Thank you so much.
- Very good.

- Fast. Yeah.
- They got it, they got it.

"Race to the pit stop."

Let's go.

- Thank you. Bye.
- Thank you.

Nah.

So frustrating.

- Let's sing!
- That's us.

- I'm so happy about that.
- I know.

Yes. We love to sing.

Yes!

- Yes!
- Come on!

- Yeah!
- Yes. Here we go.

Welcome to Hong Kong.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you. Thank you. It's amazing.

I am pleased to tell you

you are the first to complete

- the lion dance. -Yes!
- Yes!

And you have won $3,000!

My god.

- Yes!
- My god.

The self-doubt creeps
in the first leg, right?

You're like, "how do I
compare to everyone?"

I think everyone came
in with such big arms.

And we came in with big...

- Hopes.
- Hopes and dreams.

You should be really proud.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, Phil.

Congratulations.

- My god!
- Yes.

Brett and Mark, I am pleased to tell you

that you are the second
team... Yes! Yes! My god.

To have completed the lion dance

and arrive at the mat.

Yeah.

- Okay.
- Let's go.

All right, but we're close.

Please be right.

Congratulations.

Yes!

- Thank you.
- Okay?

All right, come on. We
got to go, we got to go.

Okay. Got it.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

We got to find a taxi.

Congratulations.

- Yes!
- We did awesome!

- Yeah!
- Yeah.

All right. Thank you.

Thank you. Let's go.

We get dressed on the way.

Hi. Thank you.

Xiè xi.

Taxi? Excuse me.

Where can I get a taxi?

- Taxi! Taxi!
- Taxi. Taxi!

- Taxi. Stop him, stop him!
- Yeah, he's not letting me.

Please don't let them come
out until we get our taxi.

- Thank y'all. Thank you.
- Thank you, man.

Taxi!

Please, god.

My goodness.

This is torture.

There's one more team left behind us,

- and we're trying to get there.
- And we need to get our taxi.

They're... My god. They're out.

Taxi!

Ernest and Bridget,
you are the third team

- what?! No.
- That has arrived here

- from the lion dance.
- Yeah!

Bro. I'm dying.

We're not giving up right now.

- My calves.
- You're good.

- I see a taxi.
- Where are you going?

Mike.

Taxi. Come on, jazzy.

- Come on, guys.
- Come on, come on, come on.

- Give him the paper, give him the paper.
- Okay.

We have to go fast.

We're in a race.

- Hell.
- You got him, buddy.

Bernie and car rig a in,
I'm pleased to tell you that

you are... The fourth team

that has arrived here from -both: Hey!

- The lion dance.
- We're not eliminated.

We're not seventh.
That's all I wanted to hear.

Phil!

- Wow.
- My gosh. Hi.

You look beautiful.

Welcome to Hong Kong.

Thank you.

Alyssa and Josiah, I
am pleased to tell you

that you are the first team

- yes! My god.
- To arrive here

from the cantonese
opera, and you have won

$3,000,

- which you can enjoy after the race.
- My god.

- Congratulations. -Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you.

Coming in first place feels really good.

But at the same time, we have
to really have a short memory

and move on from that
really quickly because

we have no idea what's
coming next with these surprises.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Wish us luck. Mike, you got everything?
- Yeah.

- Okay. Okay.
- Here, here, here, here.

Thank you.

Yup. There they go.

Yeah, let's go.

There they are.

Okay.

Where are the stairs?

Is that the east side they're going to?

Mike, I got it. Mike!

- Coming.
- Come on, love.

- Okay.
- We got to get up these stairs.

- Come on.
- My knee's not letting me.

We got this.

Come on, Larry.

- Let's go, let's go.
- They're right behind us.

- They're right behind us.
- Go, go!

To the end.

If you think you have what it takes

to be on the amazing race,

then go to CBS.Com/casting
and apply now.

We got this. They're right
behind us. Let's go, let's go.

- They're right behind us.
- Let's go!

To the end.

My god.

Come on.

I'm just gonna tell you that you..

Are both going to be racing

- in the next leg of the race.
- Let's go!

You're teams five and six.

Great job.

Beautiful.

- Come on in, guys.
- I'm proud of you.

Proud of you.

I'm so sorry to tell you

that you are the last team to arrive

from the lion dance and, unfortunately,

you have been eliminated from the race.

Hey, we had a hell of a time.

Hell, thing about Mark... no matter.

I knew he was gonna cry first.

Yes!

- It's okay. I'm a crier, too.
- Yes!

You pick up the phone.

You never know who's gonna be there.

I know he will be.

And that's a...

- That's what a brother is.
- That's it.

Because we had this
gift, once-in-a-lifetime,

to be on the amazing
race, we got to come here.

- Yeah. -I mean, this is...
- Look at this. -Yeah.

We-we've been playing in this all day.

- Look at this.
- Yup.

We're in Hong Kong. This is beautiful.

Enjoyed it, guys. Bye.

Gave it a run.

All right.

Okay, I think we got this.

How'd you get over
there? Let's start over.

I'm sorry. I... we gonna get it.

Okay.

It wasn't just singing.
It wasn't just about what

you were saying. It was
about the moves, too.

I do this. Okay. Don't do no bouncing

like what we would normally do. Okay.

- You ready to try it?
- Yeah, I'm ready to try it.

Let's get it. Let's get it. I'm ready.

And I'm realizing, stiffen up, just do it

the Chinese way.

Do it the way that
they showed us to do it.

We got it? Yes!

All right. All right! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

All right, all right. Yeah. Thank you.

- Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Let's go, pops.

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

- The hardest one we thought was gonna...
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Man, thank you. Thank you. Y'all just...

Stiff.

Come on, pops.

- Yes! Thank you!
- Thank you.

- My goodness.
- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Good? Yay!

Thank you. All right, mom, let's do it.

And that's it, right there?

- Whoa.
- Wow.

- We're here. Okay.
- Okay. What's it say?

"Make your way to
the tea house theatre"?

"Make your way to the tea house..."

Walk on the grass,
but... Hi. Can you tell me

where kowloon culture
district art park terrace is?

Yeah.

Race towards it?

- Turn left and see it?
- Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Thank you.

- Are we sure we had seven teams?
- Yeah.

- Crap.
- Should have done dance.

- Mom, you got to quit.
- No. I mean, why did we didn't look in...?

Do not even.

Taxi! Taxi! Stop, stop, stop.

Hey, hey! There we
go. All right. My man!

We need to go to the west kowloon

cultural district art park.

- We want to go here.
- Yes. Yes.

Okay, thank you.

I don't see the building
he was talking about,

so that's unencouraging at this point.

Let me see what's around the corner.

- I don't think this is the way we go, mom.
- Up the street.

We don't go this way.
There's just no way.

- We should have asked that guy.
- Yeah, we should have.

- Hey.
- We're screwed now.

Mom, it's okay. You can't say that.

It's the amazing race.

All righty. There we go.

What kind of a day have you had, guys?

We've been up high, down low.

- It was a day.
- Yeah?

Here's what you should
be feeling good about.

Yes.

You are the second team

to arrive from the cantonese opera.

You've actually done very well.

That's not... that's not good enough.

- That's not good enough.
- Yeah. Yeah. No,

- he-he wanted first. He wanted first.
- Not good enough.

But it's okay. We're gonna...
We're gonna keep hustling.

Yep.

I think it's over by the water.

That's not art anymore over there.

- This is the art park.
- This is the art parking here.

- Do you want to go that way?
- Okay, that's fine.

Well, Scott and Lori, I
am pleased to tell you

that you are the third team to arrive.

And that means, pops and Jeff,

that means that you
are the... Fourth team.

- My man.
- Yeah! Yeah!

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

Good job, guys.

We're gonna let you tell
them what place they're in.

- All right, hold it.
- Team number... Five!

Thank god.

Let's go, baby. Good job, guys.

Great job, mom. You were right.

Is there still hope?

We have to go up those stairs.

- You never know.
- It still is the amazing race.

Here. Come here.

Hi, Phil.

I am pleased to tell you
that you are the sixth team

- no!
- To have completed the cantonese opera.

You get to race another leg.

- My god!
- Congratulations.

- We did it.
- I can't believe

you said less. Great job.

I can't believe we're still in the race.

That's not even real.

Phil, that's not real.

We are still racing!

- Let's go!
- My god.

We survived the fork in the road!

- Very good.
- Thank you!

We're gonna go see Phil.

- -We are.
- We're gonna go see Phil.

When I think about
why we're doing the race,

our mom wanted to travel

and have a lot of different adventures,

but was waiting until she retired.

But unfortunately,

as soon as she retired, she found out

that she had Parkinson's disease.

And so, she was never
able to do those adventures.

Hello.

Welcome to Hong Kong.

- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Jackye and Lauren,

I just loved seeing your big smiles

at the start of this amazing race.

Unfortunately, you're
the last team to arrive

on this side of the fork in the road

the cantonese opera...
and I am sorry to tell you

that you have been
eliminated from the race.

Thank you, Phil.

It has been an absolute honor to be here.

We will treasure this forever.

When I pass from this earth, I want

my tombstone to read,

"I ran the amazing race, season 37."

- Is that right?
- And that is... right.

That's right!

I'm just loving it. I'm just loving it.

We're still basking in it.

I think, it's basking, but it's also,

like, our life has changed.

We get to see ourselves
in a different way.

And i-I'm just excited about the future.

We gave it our all.

We did. We really did.

Next time on the amazing race...

Another surprise when
the intersection returns.

These seasons of surprises
will give you a heart attack.

Here we go, baby, here we go.

Which teams will pair up?

We didn't know they were here.

- They've already paired up?
- I think so.

And now we wait.

And how will it change the gam?

Maybe there's not a way.
