Original subtitles

[Grant] Previously on The Amazing Race Australia v New Zealand…

-We are in Russia. -I've never been so cold in my life.

…cracks formed in the Kiwi alliance…

-[Hereni] They didn't really help us. -I think we're gonna change teams.

…and Kiwi team John and Murray were left out in the cold.

[John] Please listen to me.

[Cat] Looks like a team's getting frazzled.

[Daniel] You don't know how much pleasure I take in hearing them crumbling.

[Grant] But despite an Aussie promise…

Everyone was saying if we have an Intersection,

we have to make sure we don't team up with Muzza and John.

…Ashleigh and Jarrod did join forces with Kiwis John and Murray.

[Daniel] They swore to us they weren't gonna do that.

-Where is it? -But the Kiwi best mates beat them

to be first at the Pit Stop…

Yeah!

…only to be told it didn't end there.

You haven't finished racing yet. Race on.

-Three Aussie... -[Hereni] Whoo-hoo!

...and three Kiwi teams continue racing.

Who will be eliminated next?

[Grant] Located on the Baltic Sea,

Saint Petersburg is the cultural capital of Russia

and is famed for its diverse architecture.

It's at this spectacular Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood

that teams discovered that they were still racing.

-John and Murray… -Yeah.

…you haven't finished racing yet.

-Here is your next clue. -Yeah.

-Good luck. Race on. -Thank you.

This is the time we'd like to show teams that we do have physical ability.

-Come on, big cat. -Continue to win all the time.

-Go. -"Travel by Trans-Siberian Railway"…

[Grant] Teams must now travel overnight by Trans-Siberian Express

to the historic city of Kostroma.

Once there, they must make their way to the Museum of Wooden Architecture

and search for their next clue.

John and Murray were first to Pit Stop

and, as a reward, have received first-class train tickets

for themselves and a team of their choice.

Hold on to that train ticket. Can you bank it somewhere?

We were excited to get first-class tickets.

The train's down here.

[John] And we had a further two first-class tickets

that we were to offer to another team.

Let's go. This way.

[speaking Russian]

-[in English] Welcome to Saint Petersburg. -Thank you.

Ashleigh and Jarrod, you're the second team to arrive.

-But, guys… -What?

Keep racing. Here's your next clue. Race on.

-Go. -Thank you.

[Jarrod] To come second is a good effort,

and we want to sit down and feet up and enjoy coming second.

We don't want to have to sacrifice that all for not a real Pit Stop.

"Travel by Trans-Siberian Railway to Kostroma, Russia.

The first team to arrive at the Pit Stop will receive

first-class train tickets for themselves and a team of their choice."

Let's go.

We're not gonna get first class.

-I couldn't care less. -I do.

Murray and John told us that they would never, ever

award an Australian with an advantage.

There goes our chance of getting first-class tickets.

Looks like we're gonna be in the slums.

Bring it around. One, two, three.

Daniel and Ryan, you're team number three. Sally and Tyson, you're team number four.

But, guys, the race is still on.

-Here are your next clues. -Whoo!

To just go bang straight into the next leg, that's rough.

Yeah, totally.

"Travel by Trans-Siberian Railway"!

-Yeah! -[both cheer]

"…to Kostroma, Russia."

Let's do it.

Awesome. Let's go, Sal.

You want a bit of a breather, but we had to keep racing.

Quick. Let's go.

Is this Moskovsky Train Station?

Is this Moskov-- Is this Moskovsky?

It's like talking to a brick wall.

[Ashleigh] I think the Russian people are born

without the muscles in their face to be able to smile.

Do you know where that is, 45A?

[Jarrod] They're rude.

Plain rude. All of them.

I can't believe no one can speak English. It's crazy.

No one wants to help out. It's just ridiculous.

[Ryan] I was quite surprised to find out

that Jarrod and Ash worked with the Kiwi boys.

The boys, they're playing strategy, so we'll play the way they're playing.

We definitely wouldn't have Intersected with the boys.

[Carla] Hey!

Carla and Hereni, you're the fifth team to arrive on the mat.

-Girls, I can't check you in. -What have we done?

You gotta keep racing.

-Here's your next clue. -Oh, my gosh. Okay.

We felt great about keeping racing.

"Travel by Trans-Siberian Railway to Kostroma, Russia."

-Whoo! -Okay, let's go.

[Jesse] That's us!

I think we need to jog.

-Are you with me? -I'm still running!

-We jogged as hard as we could. -I was so tired by then.

That was as fast as I could run.

-Cat and Jesse… -Grant…

[panting]

-You're the last team to arrive. -Ah, poops.

-[sighs] -Aw, bummer.

That's okay.

-Maybe we get to see the kids soon. -Yeah.

-Guys? -Uh-huh?

This leg's not over yet.

Oh!

-Shoot. -You're still racing.

-I suggest you speed up. -What?

Here is your next clue.

-Run. Go. -Go!

-"Travel by Trans-Siberian Railway…" -Oh, my God.

"…to Kostroma, Russia."

As soon as we got that next clue,

that was like, how do we get our brains back in this?

At the moment, we're at the bottom.

"The team with first-class tickets

can only give away the additional first-class cabin

once the train has departed."

Please pick me. Please pick me.

[Jesse] We found out whoever won the leg got first-class train tickets

and had to give away another set.

Bonus ones.

I'd be interested to see who's up top.

-Do you think it'll be Muzza and Johnny? -[Cat] I think so.

-'Cause I want that first-class ticket. -Yeah.

Hopefully the boys got there first, and hopefully we're still their favorites.

[Carla] They had already given us their extra Express Pass,

so if Johnny and Muzza had arrived first at the Pit Stop,

we had a little bit of hope they'd give us the first-class other cabin.

They won't take any Aussies.

So we're the only Kiwis left, if not Cat and Jess.

Let's see if our friends are here and if we got first-class tickets.

Whoo-hoo!

-[John] What's our seat number? -[Murray] I don't know.

Can we go on?

[Grant] All teams will spend the next 12 hours on the Trans-Siberian Railway…

-What number are we? -We're up here.

This is awesome.

…and will arrive in Kostroma in the early hours of the morning.

Oh, mate. Yes!

We can have a beautiful little dinner here.

-Little snack or two. -Let's grab a seat.

We've got those two tickets we've got to give.

It wasn't hard to come up with an idea

of who we were gonna put in first class with us.

Just a common-sense call. Choice, really.

Let's go find these guys.

[Ashleigh] We're all sat in third class waiting for John and Murray.

They gave you guys the Express Pass, right?

You guys are supposed to have some rapport going on.

It was a bit of a disappointment when we saw third class.

What's up, bro?

Oh, the boys!

[Carla] We had a bit of hope that they'd give us the first-class other cabin.

Everybody else was saying, "You guys are gonna get it."

Hey, guys.

-Hi! -Boys!

So Muzza and I have deliberated long and hard.

Come on up, Home and Away.

[cheering]

Ashleigh and Jarrod.

Boo!

We're going up in the world, hey?

[Jesse] Murray and Johnny have said, "Kiwi, Kiwi."

[Cat] "Kiwi, Kiwi."

We want to keep it "Kiwi help Kiwi."

We get a lifeboat!

[Jesse] Don't tell me you're all Kiwi and then--

-Choose an Aussie team. -And then go opposite.

At the Intersection, they banged it out really quickly.

And also, they've been hustling up pretty hard, eh, Muzz?

[Jarrod] You could tell they were a little bit surprised

but extremely disappointed.

-Go away. -Ash, let's not talk to these commoners.

Let's go. Let's go.

You don't need to always reward people for mediocrity.

If you come fifth and sixth, you don't deserve it.

We hustled, we came second, and you deserve it.

-Welcome to your room. -Ooh! Oh, my God.

We open up the door, and we've got our own sectioned-off room,

which isn't like sleeping opposite a random.

-Have a good night. -Thanks again. Thank you.

Good work for hustling up.

We went up to the boys and said, "Thanks again."

They said, "That's all right. Just grab us a Coke and a Mars bar."

-So we thought… -We said, "We'll give you a Coke.

The Mars bar is pushing it."

Oh, the poor people back in cattle class.

[snoring]

Third class on this train, there's something romantic about it.

I slept all right on the train. You didn't do so well.

[Ryan laughing] I love it.

-Don't slip. -We arrive at Kostroma.

-Taxi! -[John] Get in there, Tyson!

We have to find the Wooden Architecture Museum.

-Boot, Sal. -Yep, yep, yep, let's go.

-Go, go, go. -[Jesse] Whoo-hoo!

-[Daniel] Fast, fast. -[Ashleigh] Jazz, get in.

We've never driven-- let alone been-- in snow before.

[Jarrod] The roads are slippery. There's snow everywhere.

It's quite damn scary, isn't it?

Go really fast.

Without spinning out.

Whoo! Hello. Do you speak English?

No?

Do you speak English? No? Okay.

-Okay. -Will you wait…

Ask him if he'll wait for us.

[speaking Russian]

[Murray] Awesome.

[Daniel] We're about second or third into the taxi.

This is the boys ahead of us.

We have the coolest taxi driver in Russia so far.

He's got the need for speed, and I like it.

[Ryan] The driver we had, he was ready to race.

-He was ready to go. -He was off.

[John] Hey, the Aussie boys are smoking past.

[Murray] Follow the taxi, bro.

[Sally] It's so beautiful. It's like a fairy tale.

Who's that? Tys and Sal?

[Tyson] Here, Sal.

"Nation Versus Nation."

"Team up with all remaining teams from your country."

Kiwi!

[Grant] With New Zealand having won the first Nation Versus Nation battle…

[all cheer]

…it's now a chance for Australia to even the score.

But this time, nations will be tested on their attention to detail.

Each team must choose a babushka, or nesting doll,

and locate the rest of their set

hidden among hundreds of dolls in five wooden houses.

Only when all teams from their respective country

have assembled their dolls will they receive their next clue.

Yeah! Australia will win this time.

Up until now, it's been NZ domination.

Let's sing the national anthem.

I am sure that it's gonna be Aussie domination from here on in.

Go, go, go, quick.

[John] Muzz, get out.

There's a clue!

"Nation Versus Nation."

"Team up with all remaining teams"…

"…to search among hundreds of dolls"…

"…for the hidden pieces of a Russian nesting doll."

That's my favorite!

Nation Versus Nation. Jesse?

We knew this particular challenge could either put you in a top three

or a bottom three.

If you grab the biggest one, you're looking for four smaller ones.

Johnny's always intense. A thousand percent… [buzzing]

That means they won't be able to hide it in worse places.

He's into it. "What are we gonna do? How are we gonna do it?"

This dude is insane.

[John] We had to pick one of the Russian nesting dolls.

-Murray, get in! -We're in, brothers. Blue one here.

[Ryan] Excuse me, doll.

-Ooh! -[Ryan] I thought, you know what?

If that's the one you want, that's the one I'm taking.

[both laugh]

There are five marked houses.

We're gonna go from house to house together.

We're looking for each other's.

-Can you write this down? -We'll remember 'cause we'll be together.

We came up with a strategy, which was to try and work together as a team.

We all have to finish before we get the clue.

[John] So if you see a gold or a black, just call out.

'Cause we do not move on until all of us have all five, okay?

When we first realized that it was a Nation Versus Nation challenge,

we were really excited

'cause we knew the boys would pull us through and help us out.

[John] Gold, black. Let's go. Kiwi on, guys.

Johnny and Muzza went to the furthest house and started looking in there.

-Do we grab yours? -No, you just tell us.

-[Carla] Okay. -Tell us which house it's in.

-It's not a plan. It's not a strategy. -It's not a plan.

You're looking for ours?

[Sally] Ay-yi-yi!

We walk into the first house and it was like, whoa.

Bit scary, all these dolls staring at you.

Start looking.

If anyone sees an orange-haired flower, call everyone over.

We made sure all Aussie groups went to the same room together.

I'm gonna do all the top ones.

And we searched for anyone's.

[Sally] Let's just look for orange hairs to begin with, hey?

All three we had chosen had red hair. It made it easy. Look for red hair.

If it wasn't red, keep closing and keep going.

-[Sally] Red with blue? -[Daniel] That is...

-Wait, that's yours. -Oh, is it?

-Ay-yi-yi. -[Daniel] Ay-yi-yi.

We had a maroon one, I think Jarrod and Ash had an orange one,

and the boys had a blue one.

-This is not anybody's, is it? -[Daniel] Nope.

-Is anyone black with an orange part? -[Ryan] It's some of the Kiwis'.

Put it back down, mate. Put it down deep.

We've got a peaceful house. No one's in here.

Here we go, black. [groans] No.

We wanted to go to the most quiet and remote doll house

because there's a lot of panic in all the other houses.

Muzza, is this us? No.

-[Carla] Black doll? -Yo.

Orange hair.

[Carla] I reckon that's it. Come on. Let's hustle, guys.

I'm just not sure where the thinking was in going to separate houses.

No doubt it'll come back to bite us in the butt

because it's meant to be a team effort.

Here's a gold. I'll put that on the windowsill for the boys, eh?

Hey, Johnny and Muzza!

We're on the other side of this place,

and we've found a doll that might be yours!

Come and look!

Just need to work together.

We should be working together so that we can see each other's things.

Oh, here we go. We've got a bit of cat. Flea, do you know where the doll is?

[John] Murray, stay focused. Stop talking to the cat.

[Murray] Come on. Where's that doll?

Do you think it'll be smarter working together?

No. This is the best way: three houses.

-[Jarrod] Hey, guys, I found one. -[Tyson] Hey!

I found one.

The vibe in the Australia team was really good.

I found the red on blue.

We started to find pieces, pieces, pieces.

All right, we've found one.

[Jarrod] Can't wait to beat those bloody Kiwis.

[Ryan] That one. That one.

But…

-You found one, dude? -They go even littler.

Have you not been checking the littles?

-I didn't know they went that small. -Oh, come on, man!

I realized there was a little one. I didn't realize no one else realized.

I'm gonna redo the ones that Jarrod and Ash did.

[Daniel] Remember: Go through the whole thing.

We'll be here all day if you don't check the little ones.

Now we've had to go back and check everyone's babushka dolls again.

We didn't exactly know where the NZ teams were.

Did I do this one already?

-[Jarrod] Hold on. These are done? -[Ashleigh] I don't know.

[Ryan] We're losing so much time here.

We were pretty worried.

-Do you know what's been looked at? -[Tyson] Exactly. We can't mix them up.

[Sally] Working as a team with the Australians,

each team had to complete their set of nesting dolls.

-Those I've done. -[Daniel] Guys, do it systematically.

The ones you've looked at, put to the side.

[Ryan] It was quite tedious 'cause you're pulling out

five of these dolls one at a time,

then put them back together and back in place.

Guys, remember the little ones. The little ones.

I realized there was a little one. I didn't realize no one else realized.

Now we've had to go back and check everyone's babushka dolls again.

I'm gonna redo the ones that Jarrod and Ash did.

As the babushka dolls got smaller, they became a little harder to identify.

Stupid bloody babushkas.

-[Daniel] Okay, guys, what's done here? -The corner's done.

-Guys, we've smashed it out here. -[Ryan] That's it.

Once we'd figured out these had been checked, move to the next section.

[Jarrod] We've got to run into some Kiwis sooner or later.

[John] Hey, hey!

[Daniel] Oh, the boys are here!

All six of us run in, and John and Muzza are there on their own.

Team Johnny and Muzza.

-[Jarrod] Found many? -We haven't found nothing.

[Jarrod] Have you done the windowsill behind you?

-[John] Muzz, have you done that? -Not yet, if you listened.

They did not have much of a system going on whatsoever.

-[John] Muzz, you done the double sweep? -Don't miss the double sweep, Muzza!

[Ryan] John and Murray have played a very independent game,

not realizing there are times where you need to work

with other teams to get ahead.

[Tyson] I think red nose, that's ours.

[Jarrod] Did you get one, big Tys? Look how cute she is.

Put it back together.

I'd go as far to say she's gorgeous.

[Murray] Team Aussie were clearly working together,

and it looked like they were getting it done more effectively.

See you, boys.

Wasn't that a hurricane of Aussie?

[Jarrod] Hold your horses.

-[Ryan] Hey, hey, hey! Oh! -[Daniel] Whoa!

We got ourselves a match.

-Guys, I got one. -[cheers]

[Tyson] All right, we have a match.

Yeah, hey, hey!

We're doing awesome

'cause we're working together and the New Zealand team aren't.

[Jarrod] I don't know how they're doing it in their individual groups.

[Murray] So do you not think it'll be smarter to group up?

I think we eliminate fast if we work together, John.

[John] We find the other Kiwis, then work through the house together.

We probably didn't come up with the smoothest game plan from the word go.

-Hey, guys. -How are you going, boys?

-We're better to work together. -[Cat] Uh, ya think?

[Jesse] Johnny and Muzza have always been running their own race.

It took a long time for them to go, "We need to do this together."

-Have you found any of yours? -No.

To the detriment of us and H and Carla.

[Carla] So we're looking for burgundy, black and gold.

-Yep. -Oh, here, gold.

[Cat] Yay!

We've got a piece, which is exciting.

[Hereni] Once we each started working on this together,

we managed to quite quickly find the dolls.

Burgundy. Awesome.

Hooray!

Oh, you found one!

-We might have to catch up. -Catch up.

Golden!

[everyone cheers]

[Daniel] Last house, guys.

[Jarrod] We're only after one piece now, so if you guys find it, yell out.

Myself and Ash had our five pieces.

Sally and Tyson had their five pieces.

The two boys were missing their tiny bit out of the babushka doll.

Ooh! Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

After about a minute, Jarrod found it.

-[Daniel] Yeah, that's it. -[Ryan] Let's do it.

It was so good just to work together as a team and smash that one out.

[Sally] Puppy! Stay glued to me.

-[Daniel] Come on, Puppy. -[Ryan] Come on, Puppy.

Whoo-hoo!

One more to go.

-[woman] Da. -[all cheer]

To know that we thrashed the Kiwis, it felt really good.

-"Travel by"… -"…taxi to the"…

"…town square."

[Grant] It is in the shadow of this 35-meter fire tower in the town square

that teams will find their next clue.

Town square. Let's do it.

[Ryan] Go, go, go.

-[Jarrod] Let's go. Fast. -Go, go, fast.

-We're pretty stoked. -[Ashleigh] We nailed it.

We just powered past the Kiwis.

It couldn't have gone any better if we tried.

-The Kiwis are still going. Pretty happy. -Faster.

[Sally] Ooh, that was good!

-Australia rules. -The Aussies worked really well together.

-[Tyson] It was an Aussie bonding thing. -Good teamwork.

But now it was all teams for themselves.

Town square, here we come.

[Carla] Here's a gold one!

[Jesse] Sabotage!

Oh, shit.

A doll just went down the crack.

[Jesse] Watching Johnny and Muzza operate like that…

-Word. -How have they come first…

-In so many legs? -…and second so often…

Oh, shit!

…if this is what's going on for them?

[John] Muzza, you've got the worst sausage fingers.

You've broken, like, three dolls.

They just disappear in my hands.

-Where'd that go? -Muzza!

Just know if we come last, we're blaming it on you.

Hey, hey, we've found our last one.

-Whoo-hoo! -[Cat] Yay!

[Murray] We've just got to look after Cat and Jess now.

A black one that size exactly.

-Black! -[Cat] Yes!

Is that the right one? I don't know. Here we go.

-No, no, no. -No?

-[Sally] Right in front of us. -Let's go, Sal.

There it is, in the middle. See the red and yellow?

So we got to the town square.

I think we've got the ace rally driver here.

[Daniel] And our driver launched it off the road into the town center.

Whoa!

He went off road, mate.

I don't even know if he was supposed to be in the town square.

-[both] Whoa! -Boom.

Detour! "Boil or Build."

In this Detour, teams must choose between two tasks

that go hand in hand with Russia's native traditions.

Their choice: Boil or Build.

In Boil, teams must fill an outdoor bathing kettle

to the marked line and light a fire beneath it.

Once the judge is satisfied,

they must bathe in the water before receiving their next clue.

In Build, teams must stack all their firewood in the marked area

using traditional methods.

Once the woodsman is satisfied with their stack,

they will receive their next clue.

-We're gonna do Boil. -Okay, go!

[Daniel] Do it!

-[Ryan] Yeah! -[Daniel] Whoa-ho-ho!

Good work.

[Sally] "Boil or Build."

-Boil? -Okay. Done.

-Jump in this side. -It's a little too cold to get naked

to have a bath in this weather, so we've now decided to do Build.

[Jarrod] There it is, in the middle.

"Detour. Boil or Build?"

-Boil? -Yeah.

[screams]

Got it. Found it. Okay, let's go.

The little lady counted out the babushkas.

[woman speaking Russian]

[all cheer]

Yay! Whoo! Clue. Let's do this.

"Travel by taxi"…

"…to the town square and search for your next clue."

-Go. Come on, Muzza. -We're ready!

-Come on, H. Let's go. -Yep, yep, yep.

Disappointed we didn't get through faster, but that's what happens.

We knew we'd taken a lot of time but we had to persevere.

What happened in the past, happened.

We've got to get on and play what's in front of us.

[Carla] We've just been searching for babushka dolls,

although it took us ages.

It was definitely sad to know that one of the three Kiwi teams

was potentially going home.

-Cat and Jesse are behind us. -Yep.

Now it's just the three Kiwi teams, of which we are the slowest.

We know if there were any footrace,

-we're at the back of that. -We're at the back.

It ain't over till the fat, bearded man sings, and I haven't yet.

-[Daniel] Okay, stop. Do it. -[Ryan] Yeah.

-When we arrived at Boil… -Let's go the middle one.

…we had this cauldron we had to fill using buckets up to this marker.

I bet this is gonna be frozen water.

Had to light a fire and get that stoked and going…

You start getting the fire ready. I'll start getting water.

…and then immerse ourselves in this freezing cold water.

Dan, happy?

[Daniel] Happy, but look how much more we've got to fill up.

I need to get about that much. And it's about here at the moment.

[Ryan] Slow and steady, Dan. We're gonna smash this out, man.

[Daniel] I was like, I wonder how big that stack of wood is?

[Tyson] Boil or Build. Right.

Straight in here, Sal.

[Sally] Whoa, man. That's a big pile of wood.

There was a huge pile of logs that we had to stack.

Can we pick one that's close to the sample so we can--

[Tyson] No, I don't need the sample.

[Sally] There was an example stack we had to follow…

What do I do?

…that we had to stack within the marked area.

Can I pass them to you? I don't know what I'm doing.

You just look what I'm doing.

Just being a farm boy, I've stacked hay, so I'm like, "No, I've got this."

It's all right. I trust you.

That way. There's the arrow.

It looks like Jarrod and Ash have shown up. Welcome, guys.

-[Ashleigh] Hey. -[Jarrod] Hey, guys.

When we got there, the other Aussie boys had already set up camp.

You just get the fire going, and I'll just pump the water.

Put paper and kindling down the bottom.

-You all right, Ash? -Yep.

[Ashleigh] So I start building a fire.

Build the fire up slowly.

Once it gets going, then put the big ones on.

[Ashleigh] Yeah, I know. Whoo!

I think I'm pretty confident with the fire. I think it's taking nicely.

Let's just concentrate on getting the water in, mate.

I want to keep the fire stoked, that's all.

Bit of a fan, keep the flames going well.

It's important to get the fire started. That's gonna be cold as

if we don't have it warming while we go.

[Jarrod] We've got to get flames underneath, Ash.

The paper's got to be underneath the wood so it lights.

I made out like I knew what I was doing.

Oh, man, this is smoke. This fire's going nowhere.

Ash put so much timber on the fire, it had just gone out.

This is too suffocated. You've got to start smaller.

Building a fire is something I probably should've done myself.

We don't have much paper.

She used most of the newspaper up straightaway.

[Ashleigh] Once that's sorted, we need two of us doing this.

[Jarrod] I realize that, Ash.

[Jarrod] By the stage I got there, I couldn't do a lot with it,

but if we had no fire, we didn't complete the challenge.

Oh, man, this is going out.

Leave it be for a bit.

Whose hands are numb right now? Mine.

[Daniel] It was very tedious work and very laborious work.

I was already cold, but then I was soaked.

Is that another? Can I have that one?

We've got this third bucket we'd no longer need for kindling. Let's use that.

I started using that one while he's doing the two.

[Ashleigh] Let's go. Get the bucket from the kindling.

[Jarrod] Yeah, I am, Ash.

[Ashleigh] I saw Dan and Ryan using the three buckets.

-[Jarrod] Where are the buckets, Ash? -From the kindling.

Whereabouts are they?

-What? -Whereabouts are those buckets?

It's the bucket we had the wood in.

[Jarrod] Buckets, buckets.

[Ashleigh] Look at the bucket that had the kindling in it,

pick it up, and use that as well.

-Guys, where's your bucket? -[Ryan] Ours?

I need that other bucket. Where did we put it?

I didn't know where the bucket was. I couldn't see it.

It was right there.

Isn't there a bucket over there?

No, it's this one here. That's it.

Here's the marker in the middle.

[John] Go, Muzz. Go, Muzz.

[Hereni] I can see it over there.

-[Carla] Okay, go. -[John] Go, Muzz.

[Murray] I'm in front of you, bro.

[John] Can we go faster? The girls are right behind us.

-"Boil"… -"…or Build."

Build. Let's go.

-Should we do firewood? -Yeah.

[John] Let's go.

Straight across.

-Damn it. -The last clue. Damn it.

-"Boil or Build." Build. Come on. -Build.

Whoo! It's getting pretty close.

I don't know how many buckets I went through,

-but it took a good while to fill that up. -[speaking Russian]

Yeah!

-Let's get naked and get in the hot tub. -Not a hot tub.

There were actually pieces of ice floating in the tub.

-Whoo-hoo! -Let's do it.

[Ryan] The wind chill factor was minus 15 or something crazy,

and then we have to immerse ourselves in this…

Oh.

Let's do this! One, two, three!

[Daniel] Ow, ow, ow, ow.

-You all right? -[man speaking Russian]

Whoo! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoa! Man, that is cold!

Getting in that water is like having ten cups of coffee.

Just wakes you up. Boom. You know you're alive.

Road Block! [shouts]

"Who wants to go to the dogs?" That's gotta be dogsledding on ice.

A Road Block is a task that only one person may perform.

The team member performing this Road Block

must drive a sled around a slalom course

in order to receive their next clue.

Dogsledding is about skill and balance.

Teams who fail to keep their dogs in line may find themselves out of control.

-Do you want me to do it? -Do it.

We saw the boys reach their level.

-See ya, guys. -See ya.

Then we're like, "We need to really kick it up a gear."

We're almost there.

-I love this guy. -Are you ready, bro?

Please get up sometimes and stretch your back.

-The wood stack was massive. -[Sally groans]

Each time we did another row, I'd look over,

and the wood heap is like someone put another stack on top.

-So it was not getting any smaller. -And my hands were freezing.

Should we go do the bath challenge?

I'd been busting for the toilet.

-I say we go. -All right.

Part of the reason I changed from stacking is I knew we got to have a hot tub.

I didn't want to waste any more time by another toilet stop.

Sal, the buckets are down there.

I am busting. Here's my chance.

I need to go to the toilet.

I reckon another couple of buckets, and we're done.

Just trying to start this fire.

All right! Can we get a check, please? Jazz, come out quick.

All we had to do was have the fire running when we got it signed off,

and then we could jump in.

-[speaking Russian] -No?

Bow, bow.

-Is that the last bit of paper? -[Jarrod] This is it.

[Jarrod] We've got one bit. It's not lighting.

We were getting very nervous because we knew we had to make a fire,

but we only had one piece of newspaper left.

It's going out every time I light it.

The wood was half frozen. Our fire was going nowhere.

-These matches just keep going out. -[Ashleigh] It wasn't looking too good.

-Still going out? -[Jarrod] This is pointless, Ash.

It's going out every time I light it.

All we had to do was have the fire running

when we got it signed off, and we could jump in.

-[Ashleigh] Is that the last paper? -This is it.

We've got one bit of paper. It's not lighting.

-We only had one piece of newspaper left. -You need to roll it up smaller.

But a bit of bush magic, a bit of blowing on it,

and eventually we got it up.

-Yes! Sweet. Let's go. Can we go inside? -Good man.

[Tyson] We don't want any big logs on there.

-Use all the little sticks, Sal. -Okay, Puppy.

[Tyson] So I looked down and saw what Sally was doing with the sticks,

and I'm like, there is no way that's gonna light.

-Sal… -I was using the sticks,

but I was obviously not using the sticks properly.

[exclaiming]

I'm officially gonna freeze now.

[Ashleigh] We decided not to put our bathers on.

That would waste too much time.

We've got nothing to hide.

Don't know about that.

Get in! Quick!

-Quick! Quick! -Get in!

Are we all right?

[gasping]

Get out!

-Ah! -Oh!

-Quick! -Oh, my body is tingling!

My body went numb, and I was shrieking.

And I was shrinking.

[both laugh]

Good man. All right. Let's go.

"Who wants to go to the dogs?"

I'll do it. Jump in, quick.

-[Murray] Hold on. -[John] Just here. Let's go.

[Murray] We arrived to the challenge.

The girls were right behind us.

-[Carla] Down here, H. -Just the edges first, Muzz, please.

Just hit our bottom up first.

[Murray] Just relax, John. I'm looking. Calm down.

We had to stack a load of wood in a traditional manner.

-Muzza, we'll build it like this. -John?

Can you hear me out on this?

Just build one pillar up.

-I know. -Let me have a look at it first.

There was an example to use as a reference.

So it's gonna look like one, two.

Sideways, sideways, sideways. One, two, three, four, five.

Okay, H, you start stacking it.

The build sounded like you had to stack firewood.

I mean, how hard could that be?

Long, long, long, long.

We measured it out so that ours was exactly the same length and height

as the example of the wood stack.

Leave a gap and put one right at the edge.

-Yep. -The ends had a pattern.

We've got to make sure it's balanced as we go. It's like Jenga.

And then in the middle, it was just stacking them up.

-We're getting a flow. -We're getting the hang of this.

[Cat] Here. Stop.

-This way, babe. -[Jesse] We turn up at Build.

And lo and behold…

Carla and H, Johnny and Muzza, already working on their piles of wood.

-Hey, boys. -[John] Yes.

-How are we doing? -Good.

[Murray] A bit of a Kiwi battle here now.

Physical challenges, Cat and Jess aren't the strongest.

[Hereni] Let's get this done.

[Carla] So the order will be the boys, ourselves and then Cat and Jess.

-Build up. Middle. -Yeah. Okay.

We took time to study the reference stack.

The ends are holding it all together a little bit.

We realized it was about the mechanics of how it worked.

Have a look at this. Our marked area's longer than that.

No, I reckon we have to fill the marked area, absolutely.

We're doing it different to the model.

I think it's furrowed for a reason.

The clue said to work within the marked area.

Make it look nice and tight at the front.

At the back, we just make it work for stability.

Now, we go up.

[Jesse] The mechanics of the stack would work if it was ten meters, 20 meters…

It looks like there's some patterns in it, but not wildly so.

We worked to the marked area, and we just did it.

-Yours is real solid. I'm impressed. -Thanks.

Twenty-four up.

Yeah, just rethink it, because this just-- John?

-No, no, no. -Listen. Just hear me.

It doesn't say it has to be 24 high. It just says to stack the wood.

-It has to be stacked in the marked area. -Okay.

But where's the marked area?

But, Muzz, visually, have a look. This is the reference.

I realize that, but it doesn't say you have to stack it 24 high.

John was going for detail-orientated on this one.

John, read the instructions.

It says "Stack the wood in the marked area."

I read the rules different. It does say, "Stack the wood in the marked area,"

and we had a bit more width there.

You're not listening, but that's fine.

We have to look at the reference.

-That's the reference. -I understand.

-And that's it. That's the reference. -Okay, fine.

Let's do it. Tell me what to do.

Are you worried if we're not gonna the end?

Not really.

[man speaking Russian]

I didn't know what I was supposed to strip down to,

but my swimmers were in the car.

Whoa, man! This is cold!

So I used my headband as a boob tube.

-I jump in first. -Okay.

[Sally] Jumping in that water was against everything

that your brain was telling you to do.

Judge! Judge! Judge!

I was busting for the toilet, but I could not do anything. I was frozen.

I was not gonna be able to warm that water up at all.

I'm glad you didn't warm it up while I was in there.

[man speaking Russian]

-[Tyson] Yeah! -[gasping, screaming]

I had to keep screaming to make sure I wasn't dead.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-"Who wants to go to the dogs?" -I'll do it.

[Sally] I hope I get to say hi to the dogs.

[Ryan] Let's go ride some dogs.

I love dogs. Never dogsledded.

Gonna go with this one. It's just your body.

I was a little nervous. I didn't know what to expect.

[Ryan] Yeah! Come on, Dan!

[Daniel] It's more technical than it looks.

Go, boys. You've got it.

When you are going around corners,

your natural inclination is to turn the sled,

but you just have to keep it steady and turn your body weight.

I was just testing the brake a little.

Whoa! Shit.

I started freaking out.

Oh, God, I can't come off this.

Dan, Dan, Dan!

[Daniel] I was just testing the brake a little.

I lost my footing.

Whoa, okay.

Then I managed to get back up.

I'm thinking, hold on for your damn life, mate.

Whoo-hoo!

Basically we're going bang off the reference. Once we've got it, we're done.

But I'm telling you, it might just be the stack of wood as well.

We can only go by the reference.

Twenty-four up. Let's speed up now, Muzz. Let's go.

The boys are steaming ahead.

-The boys are well high. -Well high.

[Jesse] The girls are kinda…

-[Cat] Halfway. -…medium.

[Jesse] We look up again,

-and we're at the same level as the girls. -As the girls.

Shit. They're moving quite fast.

We concentrate on our own game.

The ends of the woodpile were quite intricate.

Hope it's square enough on these edges.

I think the secret was to get the end bits done quite well.

-I need to put another one in here. -Here we go!

[Cat gasps]

H and Carla's woodpile just fell down.

We'd put so much into it. We were absolutely devastated.

So how did that happen?

-Did you just put a piece on and it-- -Yeah.

This has now put us back to last place.

We can come back from here.

It wasn't the whole thing. Could've been worse.

I don't think you can spend too much on the ends.

It felt a little wrong because we were like, "Oh, no. Oh, yes."

Do you smell the blood?

It was like a vampire smelling blood. We were ready.

Slow and steady wins the race. Slow and steady jumps up a place or two.

Come on, buddy! Bring it home!

Seeing the line coming up, and it was just a straight, was so good

because Jarrod and Ash were right behind us.

Whoo-hoo!

Here's the checkered flag!

That is bucket-list stuff. Very cool.

Smashed it!

"Make your way to the next Pit Stop."

[Grant] In winter, the frozen Volga River near the Ipatiev Monastery

is a popular ice-fishing destination for locals,

and it's the Pit Stop for the sixth leg of the race.

"Hurry. The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

Helmet!

[Jarrod] It is bloody cold.

When we got to the dogs, we actually saw Daniel and Ryan leaving.

Are we ready? Let's go!

I did the dogsledding

because Jarrod's actually scared of animals.

Rubbish! I am not scared of animals. I love animals.

Go, go, go!

[Jarrod] How fun does that look? She gets all the good ones.

Whoo-hoo! Uh-oh.

What's happening?

Every single dog that was on was pooing and weeing and doing all the gross things.

I get the ones that do a poo all the time.

I guess I've just got to embrace the Russian way.

Go!

-Twenty-three, 24. Twenty-four high. -Done.

[Jesse] I look over at the boys' pile.

They're high, but I don't know that I like what I see.

Hold, Muzz. Let's go.

Watch. They didn't do all the wood.

We heard Johnny and Muzza

yelling to the woodsman, "Check it, check it."

[Cat] Nyet. I think that's all the wood.

-[Murray] What have we done wrong? -[John] Get rid of all the pieces.

So the whole pile has to be stacked then, basically?

I think we've made a mistake here.

Doesn't say how high. Now we've got to put it on top.

It said, "Stack the wood in the marked area."

We've gone shorter and having to stack more higher now.

You didn't listen to me, mate.

-I said we had the whole marked area. -It's all right. Just relax.

Here they go, doggies. Hey?

Good work, pups. Good work. Yeah!

-It was really fun. -I know. I wanted to do it.

-And… -Because I love animals.

-Can I get off? -Good girl.

"Make your way to the next Pit Stop."

Good work. How was it? Fun?

-Wow. -Can I go over there?

My bladder has shrunk even more in the freezing cold.

I'm gonna go up here.

But after a quick toilet stop, I was ready to run.

Giddyap!

He will be better at holding on than myself.

Although these dogs are pretty cute. I am a bit jealous.

The sun's come out.

We're off and running, and one of the dogs had to do a number two.

Giddyap! Let's go!

I'm not the only one to have a toilet stop.

Good boys. Good doggies.

We're going to the Pit Stop.

We think we might be in second

and if we can be in second, maybe take it up to first.

-[horn honks] -Just by that much.

You're great, mate. We'll give you a tip for keeping us alive.

Can you go fast? Yeah, fast.

[Daniel] So we were on our way to the Pit Stop.

You've got this two trucks and this gap that's barely big enough for the car.

Our driver manages just to squeeze past.

-Stunt driving. That's lovely. -[Ryan] That's awesome.

[Ryan] He hit an ice patch, and he's fishtailing down this road.

[Daniel] Dude, dude, dude!

[Ryan] Shit!

The truck that was behind us is now straight at us.

[truck horn blares]

[Daniel] So we were on our way to the Pit Stop.

[Ryan] Our driver hit an ice patch, and he's fishtailing down this road.

[Daniel] Dude, dude, dude!

[Ryan] Shit!

[truck horn blares]

I'm not gonna come last. I'm gonna die on The Amazing Race.

[Ryan] But our driver chucks it into reverse.

-Good driving, man. -Yeah! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

-And then he's ready to go again. -Like it happens every day.

We still have our lives. That's what I'm applauding.

-We nearly just got hit by a truck. -I know.

Far out, brussels sprout. My hands are freezing.

We're in the last grouping of three, already starting behind the other teams.

I'm on top of this.

Good recovery. It's looking solid.

All three teams seem to have evened up a bit.

We're encouraged by that 'cause we got here last.

I have a glimmer of hope in my eyeball.

See it?

Zdravstvuyte. Welcome to Kostroma.

-Thank you. -Thanks.

-Daniel and Ryan? -[Ryan] Yes.

-You boys are the first team to arrive. -Yes!

-Whoo-hoo! -Yes!

We have been working very hard for that.

Fellas, as the winners of this leg,

you've won an incredible five-star package for two

to Phuket in Thailand, courtesy of Virgin Australia Holidays.

-Whoo! -Wow!

Your package includes return air fares for two to Thailand

courtesy of Virgin Australia

and also seven nights' accommodation in a luxury resort.

But, guys, the most important prize in this leg is this.

Ooh!

With this Salvage Pass, you can either have a one-hour head start in the next leg

or save the last team to check in from elimination.

[laughs] No way!

[Daniel] The Salvage Pass is bitter and sweet

because if we want to stay in the game longer, it's just good strategy

to let the people go this time that were last.

But you don't really want to be part of letting anyone go.

I'd love to keep everyone in.

You don't want to take away that adventure from them.

We're gonna win this fairly anyway.

It really depends on who comes in last

if we're gonna use the Salvage Pass or not.

-Happy? -Yeah.

Thanks, champ. Let's go.

Ashleigh and Jarrod…

you're team number two.

-Whoo! -Good work.

Aah! He's coming! He's coming! Aah!

Puppy, you look so good!

Oh, good work, guys!

Oh, you were so quick.

You looked so good coming to the finish line.

I was very excited and happy.

-Awesome. I love you. -You're beautiful.

Good work. Oh, kisses.

Oh, you did good!

-[exclaims] -[screams]

"Make your way to the next Pit Stop.

Hurry! The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

-[screams] -Let's go, baby!

[Jesse] We're nearly done. We're gonna overtake these boys.

It's like a little Jenga.

-Relax, relax. Please don't tap. -I'm just filling in.

Holy smokes. We've got six pieces of wood left to go.

And the pile's looking really even, and it hasn't fallen.

Babe, find a spot. Let's ask him.

Are you the woodsman?

Da.

-Oh, thank you. -What the heck?

-Last to arrive… -No. First to leave.

Last to arrive, first to leave.

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

-How proud are the kids gonna be? -Yep.

"Who wants to go to the dogs?"

I'm not keen on dogs.

-Fine. It's mine. -[John] Oh, they got the clue.

[Hereni] They've got the clue.

[Carla] Jesse and Cat had completed theirs.

[Hereni] They are machines.

-That was quite demoralizing. -Definitely.

Let's do it. You got your bag, babe?

We just boosted it.

-Holy smokes. -We were so excited.

Whoever thought we'd overtake Johnny and Muzza?

And Carla and H.

This might be the only time, the rest of this entire race,

that we're slightly ahead of someone.

Let's get in this car, and let's hustle.

-Incoming! -Whoo-hoo!

Sally and Tyson, you're team number three.

-Yes! -Whoo!

-That's the best we've been! -I know.

[Tyson] What makes it even more special today

is today's the anniversary for me and Sally.

We've been together for four years.

I love you so much.

I've had the most amazing four years, baby.

I just wanted to ask you…

if you'd marry me.

-Are you serious? -Very, if the answer's yes.

Of course it's a yes.

I would stay with you forever.

-Which finger? -[laughs]

[Sally] I can't even breathe.

[Tyson] It fits.

Oh, my gosh.

[Tyson] I love you.

[Sally] Tyson means the world to me,

and to know that we will spend the rest of our lives together

means everything to me.

-I'm the luckiest man in the world. -I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

[Grant] Congratulations to you both.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

I love her so much.

I'm very lucky that she said yes.

It's so beautiful. Look at it.

I have been the happiest since I've met you.

[John] Let's go fast now, Muzz. Let's go fast.

[Carla] They're moving quite fast.

We are the last two teams at the Build challenge.

-One more. -We're near completion.

Be so careful now, H. Very gentle.

Oh, my God.

When the wood stack collapsed, it was absolutely gut-wrenching.

-[sighs] Far out. -That end was a weak link.

[Carla] We were definitely in last place,

and just the thought of having to start it again was pretty devastating.

Shit.

We're on the homestretch now. Let's go.

[Murray] The Kiwi girls had a couple collapses.

Relax. We've got loads of time.

We were confident it put us in good stead, so let's just get this done.

Just do the edges, Muzz. The bit where you are.

Oh.

[imitates wood falling]

She, uh, she collapsed on us.

We've got to start this whole base again.

We were thinking, shivers, we may be eliminated on this one.

-Just do the edges, Muzz. -[Carla] Very gentle.

We are the last two teams at the Build challenge.

Oh, my God.

When the wood stack collapsed, it was absolutely gut-wrenching.

Let's not give up.

We were going to prove to our children that you should never give up.

That is 11 high.

There's no way we weren't gonna finish.

[Hereni] They went wider. Did they go to the very end?

Let's do that.

-You good? -I've got to start this whole base again.

Unfortunately, we came a little bit unstuck.

-[John] The reference's just to look at. -[Murray] No shit, it's just to look at.

A bit of frustration came in.

-You didn't listen to me. -Just stay with it, big cat.

I can put up my hand and say I got bogged down in that reference.

I won't lie: disappointing. Maybe it was a bit of karma.

Muzz, we're on the homestretch now. Let's go.

Seriously.

-[Jesse] Here. -[Cat] Stop, stop.

-Dogsledding. -Whoo!

I have to go on a dogsled! In Russia!

Pumped!

Those dogs are going nuts.

They were excited to know someone was coming to ride the sled.

Love you.

Until they saw me.

[imitating dogs whimpering]

Tails between their legs.

Oh, my giddy aunt. Excited but nervous.

Oh, God.

-Am I ready? -[woman speaks Russian]

-[Cat] Go, babe! -Holy crap. This is insane.

-We're still in this. -Oh, my God.

[Carla] We're a little bit frantic

knowing that Muzz and Johnny were hot on our heels.

We need some square bits.

We couldn't rest for a minute. It was about getting it all on.

Just get it on, Muzz. Just get it on.

We need the outside solid. Just keep the middle part.

You're right.

[Murray] We addressed it again and went for the whip…

-And then just built it. -A little frustrated.

-But you've just got to finish off strong. -Finish off.

We weren't crushed. But we're competitive. We were hurting.

-Trying to get this right. -We're on the homestretch now. Let's go.

I'm big and hairy and heavy. And you're so tired. I'm sorry.

Pretty apparent quickly that I was quite heavy.

Go, doggies! I can see the finish line. Go, go!

-[Cat] Whoo-hoo! -I'm riding the doggies, baby!

They're so tired 'cause I'm so heavy!

They can hardly move!

[Cat] Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah!

[grunts] It was awesome!

-"Make your way to the next Pit Stop." -Let's go.

Get the guy. Get the guy.

I like the way he was kicking the snow.

He thought maybe we'd hidden wood under the snow.

[gasps] Oh, my God.

As soon as he started to zip open his top, that got me a little excited.

We knew we were in.

"Who wants to go to the dogs?"

-Should I do it? -Yep.

Oh, we lost our way, didn't we?

No, we just got obsessed with the reference.

Are we there? Thank you.

-Here we go. -"Who wants to go to the dogs?"

-You go dogs. -Let's go. Get in.

[Murray] It's a race now.

We're in the river!

-[gasps] -[laughs, shrieks]

What a dork.

Cat and Jesse, you're team number four.

[both cheer]

Yes!

Congratulations, guys. The first Kiwi team to arrive.

We've been rushin' here, rushin' there, rushin' everywhere.

We know the boys are behind us, but how far, we're not sure.

[Hereni] This could come down to a taxi ride.

You go.

The boys were hot on our heels. We were coming second-last again.

Now it's come down to this challenge, and I had to hang on for dear life.

She's awesome.

-Let's go! -We knew we were coming in sixth spot.

There still might be an element of chance here where we can pull it back.

Go, Johnny.

So let's just get this done. You never know.

-Whoo! -[Carla] I was a bit worried.

I thought the dogs would be going so fast that I'd get a bit of air and come off.

[whooping]

-Whoo! -[whooping]

[Carla] But I did the course quite quickly, and the dogs were awesome.

-That was awesome. -You're so awesome.

"Make your way to the next Pit Stop."

[Carla] Let's go. The boys are on our heels.

They are so close.

[laughs]

-Idiot. -Johnny killed it.

He came in, put his arms out like the Titanic.

-"Make your way to the next Pit Stop." -Let's go, big cat. It's game on.

-[John] Let's go, Maxim, my man. -Fast, bro, fast.

We just saw Jono and Muzza.

It could come down to a footrace, and they're bloody fast.

Just keep going though. We'll keep going.

Anything could happen.

[Carla] Whoo-hoo! Come on, H.

Hello.

Carla and Hereni…

you're team number five.

Whoo!

Oh. Let's go, big cat.

-Oh. -Oh, we got here.

Zdravstvuyte. Welcome to Kostroma.

[speaking Russian]

John and Murray…

you're the last team to arrive,

and this is an elimination leg.

Yep.

However…

the first team to check in today won a Salvage Pass.

A Salvage Pass gives that team the power

to save the last team.

Ooh. Nice work.

[Grant] The winners of this leg…

[chuckling]

-…were Daniel and Ryan. -Hey, fellas.

These guys hold your future in their hands.

[Daniel] We had a hard decision to make.

They're playing a great game, and they're really strategic.

It was so tough.

We really like you guys.

-You've run a good race. -Yeah. We just had a bad day.

[John] We can't decide what other people are gonna think.

We're prepared for the worst and hope for the best.

Look…

John and Murray…

you're the last team to arrive, and this is an elimination leg.

Yep.

However,

the winners of this leg, Daniel and Ryan,

-won a Salvage Pass. -Hey, fellas.

These guys hold your future in their hands.

We really like you guys.

-You've run a good race. -Yeah. We just had a bad day.

We can't decide what other people are gonna think.

We're prepared for the worst and hope for the best.

Look…

we're not gonna use the Salvage Pass.

-That's fine, boys. -We're good.

[Murray] We were disappointed. Obviously, we wanted to keep going,

but we always said we were our worst enemy, and that happened today.

-We had a bad day. -This is pretty hard.

It was hard just to make a decision to be part of letting anyone go.

-We've got to look after… -We've got to play it out now.

They played strategy, and we played straight back at them.

-Nothing personal against the boys. -We understand totally.

If they were still in the race, they were likely to knock us out.

John, Murray, you're eliminated from the race.

Cheers, guys. Good luck the rest of the game.

They paid us the ultimate compliment,

thinking that we're a reasonably strong team.

-Let's go, big cat. -All right. [kisses]

There's been moments where we've wanted to kill each other

and there's been a lot of moments where we've wanted to love each other.

-I'm proud of you, big cat. -I'm proud of you.

I love you, bro.

I love you too.
