Original subtitles

Previously on the amazing race...

Five teams raced to Naples, Italy.

Siblings han and Holden got off to a shaky start.

Stop thinking. You know how to do it. Just do it.

A series of mistakes... Where's vico? And where are we?

Rats.

Kept gamers Carson and Jack from climbing the ranks.

- No, no. - No good.

Okay, no good.

Ana's pizza prowess...

Helped her and Jonathan secure a victory.

- Team number one. - Yeah!

Meanwhile, in a season of surprises,

last place han and Holden got the biggest one yet.

This is a non-elimination leg,

and you are still in the race.

We're not eliminated!

Coming up tonight...

If you're 100% on the express pass, I'll do it.

I believe in us, though.

With elimination on the line

- I'm gonna have to take over. - Take over what?

- 'Cause you're not navigating. - Everything.

The final five face off head-to-head.

At this point, it's imperative to win.

- Here we go. Leg ten. - "Travel by plane

and then by train to strasbourg, France."

All teams will now travel north

from Italy via plane to Frankfurt, Germany

and then train to strasbourg, France.

Famous for its well-preserved medieval architecture,

it is often referred to as "the capital of Europe,"

home to a number of European institutions

including the council of Europe,

where 46 member states gather to protect human rights,

democracy and the rule of law.

This is where teams will pick up their first clue

and find out that sometime during this leg of the race,

they'll be competing... Head-to-head.

- Ooh! - My god. Did not see that coming. Wow.

There's only five teams left in this thing,

and we survived nine legs.

We're just gonna run as hard as we can

and hopefully just make it to that next leg

and take it one leg at a time.

We are getting our airplane tickets to Frankfurt, Germany,

and, we are hoping to also get our train tickets

to strasbourg, France.

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

Right here.

Hi. We want two tickets to Frankfurt, Germany.

- Plane, then a train. Let's go. - Plane, train.

We're going into this leg

with the greatest advantage out of any team

with our express pass, so

we just need to make sure we use it properly

and then we'll be in the final four.

- My god, awesome! - Let's do it!

We can see, we can taste, we can hear the finish line.

Here we are.

But we're trying to maintain a level head

and take it step at a time.

We will do the exact same flights,

exact same train as them.

Let's do it.

Last leg was a non-elimination leg.

We're so, so, so blessed and lucky to be here.

We'rela cucaracha.

It's gonna be hard to kill us.

You can try.

We're going to fight with every single breath

to stay in this race.

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

- Appreciate it. - Hello.

We'd like to do the same thing as them.

Okay. Can I have your passports, please?

Yes.

We are taking a flight to Frankfurt and then Germany,

and then we're taking a train to strasbourg, France.

This leg decides who's in the top four

and who has a chance to hopefully race

for a million dollars.

Definitely feeling nervous.

More nervous than I have in previous legs.

Every single decision we make... it could be do-or-die.

- Down, down, down, down, down. - I know.

Okay, run down.

We are taking the train to strasbourg.

Everyone's here with us. We'll all be

on the same train together, and so

it seems like it'll really come down to, when we get there,

we'll get in the cars and drive.

And that's when we'll start to distance ourselves a little bit.

All right. Success, here we come.

Winning a million dollars would

literally change my life.

Firstly, I was just laid off from my job.

So that would be awesome.

I would have so much freedom to work

on our dungeons & dragons nerdy show.

We could literally chase our dreams.

The motto we're going to embrace today is:

You don't need to be perfect.

We're going to fight every single bone in my body

that's telling me that I'm not good enough

and I need to be perfect.

Good enough is good enough. That's the goal.

- This is it. - This is it.

We're going from Germany to France.

We did it.

We're in France.

I can smell the baguettes.

So, we landed in strasbourg.

We're at the train station.

We had to find a marked car.

Come on, baby.

- You found it? - Yeah.

Right here, baohan.

You're right. You're right. You're right.

- It's not stick. - Do you want me to do it?

- Yeah. Yeah, I do. - Come on.

Okay, now what, Holden?

Okay. You're gonna want to turn right

on boulevard de Metz.

Where is that?

- This should be... - Place de la gare. Yeah.

- This place de le gare? Yup. - Yup.

So, this, and then we're gonna bear left.

- Wonder what we're up to today. - I know.

What could we be doing at the council of Europe?

I don't know. Debating?

So this is leg ten, and we really cannot afford

to make any mistakes, especially with navigation,

so we need to be extra careful.

"Institution European."

- Yes. - That's definitely it.

Well, here it is.

Conseil de I'Europe.

- Yeah, you're good. - Which parking should I...?

Cover one of the sides. Just cover that side.

Okay, you just have to ask

for the room of the comité de ministre.

- Okay? - Yeah.

Where's the entrance?

It might be around the side.

There's a staircase, Holden.

There's han and Holden.

Did you find it?

- Where are they going? - They're not...

They weren't very helpful.

Supposed to be this.

Comité de ministre?

- It's closed? - Okay, it opens at 8:00, he says.

My god, it's closed.

It's 7:55.

So just wait here.

- Why are they running? - I don't know.

This is it, guys. Five minutes.

- Five minutes? - Yeah.

Conseil de I'Europe.

- Yup, here we are. - Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup.

Yup. Yup. Yup.

All right.

What, babe?

Sorry. A left turn.

I thought you understood that.

Well, we followed the directions.

Where is it?

Let's turn around.

All right, babe, we can't be the only ones

who got this lost.

We cannot be the only ones who got this lost.

Here we go.

This way.

Even though we arrived in third, we ended up

getting into the building first,

which then had a domino effect

because there's the line.

We ended up in the room first.

To your left, to your left. Okay.

My goodness.

Wow.

Look how cool.

Yeah, this is awesome.

Good morning.

Name the four countries you have actively raced in

that are members of the council of Europe.

Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, France.

- This is correct. Yes. - Yay. -Merci.

- You may take the next clue. - Merci. -Merci.

Route info.

"Drive to pont couverts to find your next clue."

"The head-to-head is next."

The next challenge, teams will compete

head-to-head tournament style.

The first team to arrive will face off

against the second team.

The winner advances with a clue

while the loser must face off again

against the next team to arrive.

My god. That's so important we get there first.

You guys first? Are we last?

No, we're fourth. Or third. Yeah.

Third.

Third here, first out.

- Okay, cool. - Yeah, good.

- Bulgaria. - Italy.

Italy, um, France, and then, should we say...?

- I think... I think... - I think Germany. -Germany.

- This is correct. - Yes.

You may take the next clue.

Thank you.

Italy, Bulgaria, France, Germany.

Yes, this is correct.

- Okay. - You may take the next clue.

Definitely, um, Bulgaria.

France. Does France count?

We're here racing.

We're here racing in France.

There's flags up here.

So, France, Italy, Bulgaria.

Do you want to just do uae?

- I mean, like, yeah. - All right.

We're gonna say France, Italy, Bulgaria,

and the United Arab Emirates.

I'm afraid this is not the correct answer.

Okay. We're gonna say France, Italy,

Bulgaria and Indonesia.

I'm sorry. This is not the correct answer.

Does Germany... does Germany count as actively racing?

I guess we started there, and we raced...

Yeah, it's Germany.

Okay.

We're gonna say France, Italy, Bulgaria and Germany.

- This is the correct answer. - Yeah.

- Please take your clue. - Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- Wait. We haven't seen Mark and Brett. - No.

Fudge.

I am a little irked

because we're still top five and this happened.

- But... we can do this. - Right.

We have come back from the back before,

and, I think we can do it again.

Maybe this is it.

Do you see parking?

I see parking. I see it.

Parking is... So we're the first ones here.

Okay, let's go.

Do you know where... Which way...?

No, let's just ask these people at the restaurant.

Um, we're trying to get to pont couverts... Um...

Just... Follow this?

- It's a bridge. - Just a bridge.

- Yes. There it says "bridge." - Pont couverts.

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

Go, go, go, go.

We're the first ones here?

Grab 1.

We need 1.

First time ever. Wow.

Roadblock.

"Who's ready to go head-to-head?"

I think maybe I do it, because if the next one's memory...

- Okay. - Yup. I'll do it.

It might not be a major league sport,

but this medieval contest has stood the test of time

for thousands of years.

Welcome to the sport of water jousting.

The rules are simple.

Jousters face off against each other

in a duel and then use a Lance

to try to push each other in the water.

This roadblock requires teams to go head-to-head

by competing against each other.

The winning team can keep racing.

The losing team will have to face another team

and can only continue racing when they win.

The last remaining team will have a ten-minute penalty

before they can try to catch up with the other teams.

- Let's do it, baby. - You got this. You got this.

- Right here. - Perfect.

Pont couverts.

- Let's go. - Yup.

This is definitely a twist.

You're going against Carson and Jack.

Let's go.

- Two. - Two.

"Who's ready to go head-to-head?"

- You want to do it? You do it. - I feel like me, yeah. Yeah.

"Be triumphant in a water jousting match."

For us nerds,

this is medieval, so ren faire, so fantasy.

I was like, "if anyone can do this, it's definitely him."

None of these people even probably know...

They never watched jousting before, okay? We've...

- They've never even met a joust. - Yeah.

- Let's do it. - But she's amazing at surfboarding.

- Well, it's okay. - Let's do it.

Water jousting?

I was stoked to be first.

I am a personally very competitive person.

And anything that involves balance

that's where my strengths are.

It is literally the destiny ofla cucaracha

to take over the kitchen.

You know what I love more than anything? Winning.

You know what we're gonna do today? Win.

- Okay, three. Three. - Get a good look. Number three.

Snap. Roadblock.

"Who's ready to go head-to-head?"

I'll do it.

Okay, let's go to pont couverts.

There's a clue box.

- Number four. - Grab it.

- Roadblock. - Okay, it's a roadblock.

Roadblock.

"Who's ready to go head-to-head?

The express pass may not be used for this event."

Brilliant. I'm gonna go head-to-head.

Yeah, you are.

All right, let's go.

Hi. We're lost.

- We're looking for... - Conseil de I'Europe.

It says... It's towards the freeway,

literally right there.

- Yes, in six minutes. - My god. Thank you.

- That way? Thank you so much. - We're right on top of it.

Here it is.

Dude, look at this.

My god.

- Wow. - This is insane.

Let's do it, dude.

I will explain to you the rules.

Water jousting 101.

You hold with your left hand.

There's a bar that goes up against your stomach.

You don't have to hit him.

You have to push.

The best is the sternum.

The head, the neck, the legs... strictly forbidden.

You have to offer your chest

to the opponent like a brave knight.

- Okay, yeah. - Let's be brave knights.

- Let's do it. - Yeah.

It was counter intuitive,

but you actually want to lean forward, giving your opponent

your chest, leaning forward so your joust hits them,

so then you can start to push.

- You attach to that Lance. - Let's do it!

- Let's go, you guys! - Let's go!

Okay, let's do it.

- Hello. - Hi.

This is the good boat.

Obviously, we're nerds, so jousting is right up our alley.

And he's very strong, so I'm hoping that he can just...

Pop han right off.

Come on, han!

I had a strategy going into it.

I was, like, "okay, this is all based on stance.

If your stance is off and you're off-balance, game over."

I know that my center of gravity is very strong.

- This is war. - This is war.

All right, here we go, baby!

You got it, car.

Come on, han. Stay strong. You got it.

This is insane.

- Let's go, han! Let's go, baby! - Yeah!

- That's what I'm talking about. - Let's go!

That's hands, baby!

All right, good job, guys.

Good job!

So happy that she won the head-to-head. She deserves it.

I think this is, like, a testament

to her competitive nature and really unleashing it.

- Congratulations... - Thank you.

Merci beaucoup.

- Way to eat. - Way to eat?

- Let's go. - Here you go.

Route info.

"Make your way on foot to la cloche à from age cheese shop

to find your next clue."

Let's do it. Cheese.

I've never done anything like this.

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

You got it, car.

Strong like ox.

I'm having a hard time balancing on this thing.

It was difficult getting used

to being on a boat and just balancing

with this thing in your hand.

It took me some time to get used to it.

You got this, babe!

- You got it, car. - Thanks, Jack.

You're the best.

Yes!

- Go, Carson! - Yes, car.

Good job, car!

He slayed that dragon, aka Jonathan.

I wanted to knock him off so badly.

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

- Good job. - Thank you.

That was so cool. Okay.

- All right. - That was so good, car.

- Thanks, Jack. - That was awesome.

Route info. "Make your way on foot

to la cloche à from age cheese shop to find your next clue."

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

Let's go.

All right, babe, let's race. We got this.

Can you name the four countries you have actively raced in

that are members of the council of Europe?

Bulgaria, Italy.

France, Germany.

- This is correct. - Thank you.

You can now take the next clue.

- Perfect. Okay. - Thanks.

Head-to-head. That means we can catch up with a team.

So this is actually good news for us.

All right, there it is.

All right, let's do this one.

Route info.

To say that the French love cheese

is a massive understatement,

especially when you consider that, on average,

they eat about 50 pounds of it every year.

There's over a thousand

varieties of from age enjoyed here.

Teams must learn the names of nine of them,

then recite the names to a fromager

at a nearby restaurant, which just so happens to have

the world's largest cheese display.

- Take it. - This is so cool.

- This is awesome. - This is so awesome.

Okay. The way we do is we split it up.

- Okay. - You do four cheeses, I do four cheeses.

- Okay. - Okay?

Okay. No. Well, you do five, 'cause you know French.

Okay, sounds okay. Hello.

Hello. So, listen up.

I'm gonna tell you the name of cheese, right?

Morbier.

- Valençay. - Valençay.

Camembert de nor man die.

Okay, these are mine.

Roquefort.

Roquefort has rocks in it.

Munster.

Bonde de gâtine.

I'm like, this is roquefort, because there's rocks in it.

That could kill a horse, man.

That is strong.

She's a little slimy. She's a little bit slimy.

They were all delicious.

I love cheese.

I think cheese not ideal.

Cheese on an empty stomach

with someone who's lactose intolerant:

Really not ideal. I feel bad for this guy in the car.

- Um, roquefort. - Morbier.

- Bethmale. - Should we just try?

- Let's just try. - Let's try.

Good enough is good enough. Don't have to be perfect.

Exactly.

- What's the name, please? - Not one I tried.

- The name? - This isn't one I tried.

- I promise you - this is not one I tried. - Say it.

- Go. - No good. Well, thank you.

That was not one I tried, bro.

Yes it was, bro.

Over here.

Five. We knew that.

- Roadblock. - Roadblock.

"Who's ready to go head-to-head?"

I feel like I want to do it.

- I feel like you want to do it. - Yeah.

Get it, babe.

This is it.

Yeah.

Good job, babe.

Sorry, baby.

Jonathan's out.

- So it's me and Josiah. - All right, babe.

You can do this.

You okay?

The stress was very real.

Truthfully, this head-to-head felt like my thing,

and so, losing it once... it-it can get into your head.

"Make your way on foot to

"la cloche à from age cheese shop

to find your next clue."

Okay. Now put on your shoes. We got to run.

- What's your name? - Mark.

Mark. Okay, welcome.

It's absolute stress because the team that wins

will be able to continue on with the race

and the team that loses will have to wait here

and get a ten-minute penalty.

And it's just, at this point,

i-it's everything, it's imperative to win.

You got it.

It's hard, 'cause they have an express pass.

So, if we don't win, we're kind of

up the river without a joust.

All right, baby.

Good job, jos. Good job, baby.

Good job, babe. Here you go.

So, we're last-last.

Josiah and allysa have an express pass.

Everyone has a big, giant lead.

So, if something crazy happens, maybe we'll have it.

We'll just keep racing.

- Babe, I love you. - Love you, too.

- Congratulations. A clue. - Thank you so much.

- Hi. - Hi.

That's cute. You did great. It was tricky.

Yeah.

"Make your way on foot to la cloche à from age cheese shop

to find your next clue."

Okay, get your shoes on. Let's go.

Excusez-moi.

La cloche à from age?

Okay.

- Merci. - Merci.

Aha.

- Let's do it. - Okay.

Route info. "Identify nine cheeses from the fromager"

- "to receive your next clue." - My god.

- This is my dream. - Let's go.

Never met a cheese I didn't like.

Okay.

- One more time. - One more time? -Yeah.

Want to take the first four, and I'll take five?

- Yes. - Okay.

Jack's palate is much better than mine.

You have no taste.

To me, they were cheese.

Fantastic.

Munster.

Bethmale.

Bonde de gâtine.

Not correct.

- Bonde de gâtine. - Bonde de gâtine.

Bonde de gâtine. Bonde de gâtine.

Let's go.

Up there. Here.

All right, I got to focus.

Before you knew it...

- Everyone. - Ana and Jonathan show up.

Josiah -then Alyssa. Josiah and Alyssa.

And then I'm, like, "my god, we're all still here."

- In this tiny cheese shop. - I know.

Camembert de nor man die.

Camembert de moon

- I'm sorry. One more time. - Jos.

No, no. Alyssa, please.

Okay.

D... are you sure? Do you think it's hard?

When we showed up to the cheese challenge,

it was obvious it was gonna take a long time, because

teams that were... had 30, 40 minutes on us were still there.

And to me, that was, like, the gleaming moment.

Han and Holden had 40 minutes on us.

It's wild. This would be a good one to miss, yeah.

It takes a long...

We'd be in first place. We'd be going on to the detour.

It's just a detour.

I think we should use it.

Can we make... It's your call. It's your final call,

but that's my suggestion.

Morbier, valençay, camembert de nor man die,

brie de meaux.

That's my four.

Roquefort.

Holden, what did she say?

- Morbier. - Morbier.

- Brie de meaux. - Brie de meaux.

I need you to, like, figure this out...

- Bethmale. - They taste the same to me.

I don't know what the... Cheese tastes like, bro.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Brillat-savarin.

Run, come on, run!

Yes!

Route info.

"Identify nine cheeses from the fromager

"to receive your next clue." Got it.

I'm telling you I'm, like, not retaining this.

Roquefort.

- Hey. My god. - Hi.

- Hi, guys. Welcome. - Hi.

- They were all there. - They were all there

at the from age, so we were like, "we caught up. Sweet."

Not yours?

This doesn't taste like mine. This is sweet.

- I didn't have anything sweet. - Okay.

Bethmale.

- Bonjour. - The name of the cheese.

Munster.

Bethmale.

Bonde de "gâteau."

You want to try one more time or do you want to use it?

- Ooh! Let's go, baby! - Let's go!

- Good job. - Merci beaucoup.

Merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup.

Route info.

For more than two centuries,

the strasbourg cathedral was the tallest building in the world.

Today, this masterpiece of gothic architecture

is considered the city's biggest attraction.

Teams will certainly get their steps in

when they climb all the way to the top,

pick up a clue, and then take in

these unprecedented views.

Okay, let's go down there. See? We got it.

So, that's mine, you're saying?

It just doesn't taste like mine.

Okay, "m... morby."

Um, um, valençay?

Brie de meaux?

I'm gonna guess. I'm just gonna guess, um... munster.

This is 100% camembert de nor man die.

The cheese challenge is taking a minute.

Some cheeses look so similar,

and I have two cheeses that also

- taste similar. - Roquefort.

- Good job. -Thank you so much. Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

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

Damn.

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

- Han and Holden got it, and... - Carson and Jack.

And Carson and Jack got it, too.

Roquefort.

It's a good job.

You messed up. That was you.

- Man. Damn, dude. Thanks, man. - Thank you. Where do we go?

That was all you, dude. AI-yai-yai.

That's enough. Thanks.

- We got to stay calm. - I'm calm.

I'm just... this is illogical.

- Ready to go? - Yup.

Munster.

Bethmale.

Do you want to taste them, make sure you can

- taste the difference? - This one's sharper,

bethmale is sharper than this. We got it.

That's another one.

Bonde de "gâteau."

Alyssa, one more time.

If you want to use it

I wish we used it ten minutes ago.

Alyssa, we can't cry, we can't get upset.

- We got to be... - We could have been in first.

My god. That is as cathedral as it gets, bro.

Wow, look at this.

This is awesome.

We need to find the guard at loge...

If it's not, that's crazy.

- I mean... - It has to be.

Can you believe this?

There it is.

- Hello. - Hello.

Merci.

- Left. - Left.

Only 330 steps.

Ready? Ready to move?

I'm getting dizzy.

You got it.

Keep pushing. You're doing great.

I need you to stop talking to me.

Come on, Jack. Come on.

You got this.

My god.

Geez.

All right, come on.

- Total French cardio, man. - Here you go.

- Detour. - Okay.

"Out to dry or for the birds?"

Before the luxury of indoor plumbing

and automatic washing machines,

cleaning clothes was a community event

along village rivers.

Women took great pride in making the world right,

singing and, of course, airing their dirty laundry.

Something teams will get a taste of

when they wash a tub full of dirty garments.

Once they've washed their hands clean of this dirty detour,

they can make a clean getaway with a clue.

With all the doom and gloom about species' extinction,

it's nice to know that the storks have a fighting chance.

Here in the alsace region of France,

locals go to great lengths to ensure

that these elegant birds have a place to nest

after migrating thousands of miles from Africa.

Giants nests, some weighing over 1,000 pounds,

can be seen all over town.

This detour requires teams

to build the initial structure of a nest.

Then a cherry-picker will pick it up

and place it high in the air for nesting.

- Laundry? - Laundry.

- What do you think? "Out to dry?" - "Out to dry."

Let's do it.

Let's follow them.

My god. Wow.

There.

- Merci. - On left. - Thank you. On left.

- Be quiet. - So dark.

You're being so mean.

What?!

Who's laughing?

My god. My god.

Detour.

- Okay. - We're going back to the car.

- You pick the detour. - I'm gonna say wash clothes.

- Excusez-moi. - Excusez-moi.

- Could we get, um... - Direction?

Excuse me. Can you help me with directions?

Can I use your phone to look something up?

Thank you so much. We're in a race for a million dollars.

Exit to... To route... My god, it's a lot.

I know. It's really far away.

- It's, like, 45 minutes. - Yeah.

This is gonna be crazy.

- Merci beaucoup. - Ma

make it clear. "Tout droit" means to the right?

That's straight. No.

Tout droitis straight. Droitis right.

But it says "droit."

Tout droit... that's...

- Straight. - Say straight. Bro, please.

Okay. I'm just saying, okay?

You make mistakes all the time. Chill.

Brother.

Which detour are you guys doing?

- Laundry. - So are we.

Do you mind if I get directions with you guys

- my god. - I'm so sorry.

- You dropped their phone! - Can you stop yelling at me, Holden?

- Hello. - Yes.

We need directions. Google maps.

- Google maps. - Yes. Thank you.

I don't really feel appreciated,

so I'm just gonna say that and then

you're gonna figure out how you want to deal with that.

You're taking too long. We need to go.

These directions are a lot, okay?

- Good? - Yeah.

- All right, I trust you. - Let's go.

- Thank you so much. - Merci beaucoup.

- Thank you. - Good luck.

So, it's just frustrating.

We're not-we're not doing too well.

We could have been in first. But my wife was...

She got mixed up on the cheese... cheese-tasting, so...

Yeah, so, we're sitting in third, maybe fighting for last.

- Thank you. - Good luck.

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

Allez, allez.

Thank you.

Geez, this place is so far.

I-I think this is munster.

Yeah, I'm gonna say that.

Munster.

Bethmale.

Brillat-savarin.

If you're 100% on the express pass, I'll do it.

I believe in us, though. I believe in us with this.

It's just the longer we waste here,

the more time everyone else is getting better and better.

Brie de meaux.

Do we believe we can do this?

- If we do not, we can afford... - Eventually.

I believe we can, but better than other people.

Bonde de gâtine.

We're gonna use this?

- Not correct. Go back. - Yes, I know.

We're close.

We're gonna use our express pass.

- Good job. - Thank you.

Let's see if we can see it up here.

- I'm so sorry. - It's okay, babe.

We got to get over it.

It's got to be that.

Yeah.

Valençay.

And roquefort.

Very good job.

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

- Thank you so much. - We got it.

The giant cathedral right to our left, right?

Yeah.

This is where we're at peace.

- Direction is... - You just drive and I tell you

- what to do. - Yeah.

I think I may have a little bit more of control issues.

So I like being in control of the directions.

Yeah.

The race is not a place to solve your control issues.

The race is to use them to your advantage.

Yes.

That's the time to use them to your advantage.

- Bonjour. - Bonjour.

- Yes. Through there. - Thank you.

Clue's in this.

Okay. Detour.

"Out to dry" or "for the birds"?

I'm really leaning towards the stork nest.

Yeah.

My god.

- Shocker. - Yeah.

"Out to dry" or "for the birds"?

Let's just build a bird's nest.

I see that we're going to Paris right now.

Paris is definitely north,

and we saw in the directions that we're going south.

I think we're on the opposite direction.

I'm just gonna pull off to the side of the road over here,

- I think. - Sounds good.

We're not going to Paris.

Just try to find some guy... Or girl.

Excuse me. Can you help me get directions?

- Scherwiller. - Scher... scherwiller.

- Ooh, scherwiller? - Yeah.

Take the motorway to mulhouse.

- To which way? - It is right there.

- Mulhouse. - Mulhouse.

- Mulhouse. - Mulhouse?

That wasn't thorough, bro.

Rue de la course.

It's got to be close.

Right there. Yup.

All right, let's do it, Jack.

- Bonjour. - Bonjour.

- Hi. - Hello. Bonjour.

Comment ça va?

Bonjour, bonjour.

Shall we get the lightest one? Merci. Merci.

D'accord.

Okay.

These jolly old ladies teach us how to clean

a bunch of laundry that have stains on them.

So they have crayon marks. We need to get those out.

I see.

There's grass stains, there's crayons

and pens, there's dirt.

- Soap it. - Soap it.

Wash, wash, wash.

Then brush.

- Wash, wash really... - And then I think they really...

Let me make... Let's make sure.

And then, we start a-scrubbing.

I have, like, dirt on these, I think.

Wow. Who wore these? These are dirty.

The trim has, like, three.

So, first, we had to dump the clothes into the water.

Okay, there's the dirty spot.

Soap it.

Then we would rub the soap along all the stains,

and then we would take the scrubber

and scrub-a-dub-dub.

Then re-dip in the water, squeegee it out,

and then hang them on the wall to dry.

There are specific spots on the laundry that are dirty.

There are either dirt on them.

Sometimes there are crayon or, like, pen on them,

which I'm assuming is a little harder to get off.

So in five kilometers, we need to make sure

that we hook a left.

And then, if we can do that

I might cry tears of joy,

because we actually are getting somewhere

with these French directions.

It's been a while since we've played our comeback card.

Today is the day to play our comeback card again.

When you looked it up on the map,

is it going, like, south, southwest?

- I... I don't know. - I didn't have a chance.

- We didn't see what... - I didn't have a chance.

I just wrote the steps. No, I did not.

Well, how do we know we're going in the right direction?

- Because I just saw a sign. - All right.

That said, um, "mulhouse."

Um... what the hell. What the hell.

Onto the ramp. Crap.

You went the wrong way.

Well, can you... Can you please direct now?

I-I need help. I can't do both.

Neither one of us is right, neither one of us is wrong.

We're-we're on a team right now.

We're fighting against everybody else.

I freaking love you, man. Like, I love you.

I love you. We're-we're gonna be okay.

What's our kilometers at?

We're kind of at 3450.

We were supposed to exit.

It still says "mulhouse"

I know what it says, babe, but

I think we went too far.

I hope to god everyone's lost.

That's it.

- Parking right here. - Is this it? Okay.

We're the only ones here.

We got it.

Let's go. Come on, babe.

How cool is this?

Ooh, big boy.

Okay, let's figure this out.

- Bonjour. - Bonjour. - Bonjour.

I have cheese in my pocket.

- Gross. - God. Okay.

So wrap... so one.

- In-out, in-out. - Wrap, wrap, wrapped.

Basically, you have this giant,

metal round thing with spikes.

And you took a bunch of branches and stuff,

and you wove it to get this nice little wreath.

Then you tied it with string really tight.

Then you took wire and redid all of that string

with the wire to really secure it together.

Let's use this station so we have a view.

- Want to start? - Right here? Yeah.

Start with that one.

- Then... then that way. - Cool.

Let's get all these branches on the inside.

So we watched the stork nest. It looks really simple.

So I was like, "this is an opportunity

to make up time today."

Our strategy is to make it pretty.

- So... - So then we started...

- So weave this in. - This-this a little bit.

- Yeah. - Ooh.

And watch... he's...

Go watch him for a second. I'm gonna do this for a second.

Honestly, this is like a pterodactyl nest.

We got here before everybody else,

which is absolutely wild and just...

That's why I believe in our team.

We know how to come back, and, um,

that's what we're doing right now.

And we're not gonna count any chickens before they hatch,

but we're gonna make a nest so they can hatch in the nest.

You're doing great, babe. That looks good.

I know it does.

Look at this nest.

We're gonna win this leg. You watch this.

This bird is so lucky.

One arm, one heart, one back.

What are you guys saying?

They're probably saying, "I wish"

- "my husband would do this." - Yeah. Right.

It was actually amazing

to have these women around us, and they were gossiping

and they were yelling to each other across the river.

And actually, like,

it gave me this sort of silly energy that I needed

to work past how hard

scraping this stuff off the clothing was.

Lovely.

Think we're making good progress.

- Okay, we'll have gone... - Yeah, we're on the right road.

Okay, the destination will be on our left.

We're looking for four. That's four a.

- Okay, here. Stop. - There's Mark and Brett.

Do you see, um, what else needs to be done, babe?

Yeah, just park here.

- Hey, guys. - Hey, guys. - Hey, guys. Good job.

- We got it. We got it. - I don't know where everyone else is at.

So it looks like we just put everything around

going in the same direction.

Okay, so the blue is to secure it all,

and then take the blue off.

- You think we should get started? - Yeah.

I know. I know.

I used to do landscaping

with my grandfather, but we never made a stork's nest.

But hopefully... Some of that... Comes into play here.

I will say, we do a good job

of just dialing in on the task at hand.

And we don't start freaking out

about all the other stuff that's going on.

While I'm driving, I freak out,

but when we're doing a task and I have a detour

and a challenge in front of me, we dial in.

If building a stork's nest works

in attracting a stork in the race,

- we will use it... - That's a sign.

We will use it in our regular...

- That's a sign that we're ready. - Life.

Okay, so now, let's do this.

They were so fast getting their nest together.

They just threw it on. We were like, "ooh, let's weave it."

My god. We were, like, literally making art,

- and they were like, "blah." - Yeah.

Babe, they're so fast.

You're fine, babe. You got this. We got this.

We got this.

What are you two gossiping about?

They're calling us handsome

- really? - And awesome and hot.

- You think? - Yes!

Okay. Can we get a check?

Okay, a check?

- Where's the parking? - I found it, I found it,

- I found it. - Beautiful.

- Did you lock the door? - Yes.

Hey, guys.

- Are there any other teams here? - No.

All right, good luck. We'll see you guys

- on the other side. - See you. -Yeah.

Do we need to get out and get directions?

I'm gonna have to take over.

Take over what? 'Cause you're not navigating.

Everything.

Yeah, I got to take over everything. Your directions

okay.

You're not getting directions the right way.

- So give me... - How exactly...

Um, I did exactly what you wanted me to do.

- Okay. You didn't get your bearings. - I got the street.

- I got the meters. - You didn't get your bearings.

That's where you messed up.

We're good.

You didn't, write something down properly.

Me. Okay?

Yeah. I'm following an example which you wrote down.

I mean, who wrote these? It wasn't me.

Okay. Can you ask? Do you want to go ask 'em?

Go... go ahead. Can't stop in the middle of the road.

Well, I was gonna pull over, Jonathan, of course.

No. No, don't stop.

Well, I don't want to keep driving further if we're going

- the opposite direction. - Yeah. I mean,

if you want to stop, yeah, we can stop.

Are you sure you could park here?

- Bonjour. - Morning.

- Morning. - Morning.

C'est bonne? Parfait?

Yay!

They got it.

- Merci beaucoup. Merci! - Merci beaucoup.

Okay.

- "Race to the pit stop." - My god.

Romans were the first

to make wine in this region of France

more than 2,000 years ago.

The unique microclimate found here is perfectly suited

for wine production... in particular,

white wine varieties like Riesling and Pinot gris.

Teams will find me here in the vines

at the vineyard orientation table.

The last team to check in here... Will be eliminated.

"Last team to check in will be eliminated."

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

I feel like attention to detail is very important

in this challenge, and I think we got it.

It looks pretty good, so let's do a check?

- Yeah, check it. - Okay.

We need a check.

- No. - No?

- No. - No?

Should we have used all the branches?

We didn't use all of our leaves,

so we're gonna put the rest of our leaves in,

and hopefully, that's enough... To get this check.

I'm tying it off to the side

and I'm tucking it under the bottom.

- Do you want to go get a check? - Yeah, let's get a check.

Hoping for a one-check wonder.

- Bonjour. - Bonjour.

- Good check? - Pardon.

- No. - Pardon.

All right, let's watch his.

Today's been a hard day, but we are... having fun,

and we're staying in it.

We're not gonna quit.

We don't get it, either, guys.

Hold that for me, babe.

Hold that.

- No? - No?

Okay, no.

Put it down. Let's see him.

Babe, come here.

Let's take it.

Come with me real quick. Come on, let's go over here.

What do you think it is?

We're missing something, and we can't figure out

what it is.

Do you want to just keep playing, and I'll look?

Yeah.

- All right. - He goes through the wood.

He goes through the wood.

- This goes through the wood. - He goes through?

It dawned on me that, ""

the example and the demonstration

were all on that wooden pallet that we were working on.

It wasn't just a workstation. That was the bottom

- of the nest. - That was the bottom of the nest.

You put this piece -around the whole...

Around the whole thing.

Okay, let's do it.

We missed that.

You had to secure the wreath to a wooden board.

And that's because we left the presentation early.

That's amazing race 101, right?

Like, watch the presentation.

But that's easier said than done,

because you're like, "I could be making progress right now."

Put it up there.

Okay.

C'est tres Bella.

- No? - No?

- No. - We thought for sure.

Okay, let's go, let's go.

Merci.

Come on.

Okay.

What are we missing?

It was hard to stay positive

and not start freaking out.

What do you think it is?

Is that marked parking?

I think the marked parking you just passed.

- It just said "parking that way." - Where?

You didn't see that big parking sign -i didn't.

- With the yellow sign with the arrow? - I absolutely didn't.

I absolutely didn't. I'm sorry.

Over here? Demonstration?

Han, did you see Carson?

- Yeah, they finished it. - They just finished it.

- They just finished. - Crap. You scratch.

Okay, yeah. Scrub the rock and then you do both sides.

Yeah, just clean it really, really well.

They have very obvious stains that you need to clean.

I moved to live in Mexico

with my grandma when I was five years old.

She used to do laundry in a similar stone.

She had a washer and rarely used it,

because she believed the clothes wouldn't be as clean.

All right, han. Perfect is fine.

You don't need to be perfect. Nope.

We're trying to, like, realize

that you don't have to be perfect to finish challenges.

You just have to be good enough.

I mean, it's pretty late in the race

to check out what was good enough, but

it's a lesson that we have to learn at some point.

Good enough is good enough, han.

Good enough is good enough.

This is so amazing.

- Okay. - Park. No cars.

No cars, Jack.

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

Yeah!

We are happy to see you.

Welcome to alsace region of France.

- Merci. Merci. - Thank you. Merci beaucoup.

You are, in fact, team number one.

My god.

And as the winners of this leg of the race,

you have won one key cash from expedia to

Helsinki, Finland!

Experts at expedia have designed a five-night,

unique experience with an eco-friendly

city tour, -ooh.

A magical taiga forest hike,

and a guided art and cultural tour.

I mean, we've been at the back of the pack

for the last few legs,

so, we really needed this confidence boost

going into the end of the race.

- We're back. - This is exactly the fire that we need

to continue on through the end of the race.

And with the express pass being used, probably, this leg.!

We still beat 'em. We still beat 'em, Phil.

Okay.

- No. - No?

Let's do more.

Let's do more.

S'il vous plaît.

C'est bonne. C'est bonne? C'est bonne!

Yeah!

- Thank you so much. -. Merci beaucoup.

- Merci beaucoup. Good job, guys. - Merci beaucoup.

"Drive to table I'orientation

"in scherwiller village and find Phil on the mat.

The last team to check in will be eliminated."

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

No.

We did everything they did.

Bonjour. S'il vous plaît.

Can you help us?

Um, we're trying to find table I'orientation.

In scherwiller village.

Do you have a phone?

This doesn't make any sense.

This. Maybe this is on the inside.

Maybe it has to be down,

it can't be inside the nest. Try that.

We're like, "what are we missing?

It looks exactly like theirs."

And then we realized that he pulled all the little knots

- all the way to the bottom. - Underneath.

So, it was a simple detail that we missed.

You couldn't even have it

on the side. We were like, "" -we just couldn't see it

because everything is green.

They got directions from right there, so...

What's up, bud?

Ciao. I mean...

We really appreciate it. Thank you.

- When you can help... - Yes. Thank you so much.

- Okay. - Let's just try that.

Check.

Okay.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

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

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Merci.

Okay. Right here. Ready?

"Drive to table I'orientation

"in scherwiller village and find Phil on the mat.

Last team to check in will be eliminated."

- Yeah, okay. - Let's go.

- Sorry, guys. - It's okay, guys.

Hey. I hope the teams behind us, guys, I really do.

- Good luck, guys. - We're racing them.

Let's go. You know where to go.

Do you want to just follow them?

- We could just follow them. - Let's follow them

and race them to the mat. We're good.

- Thank you. - Thank you. We're good.

- Do you want to try that? - Yes.

- Do you have the keys? - You do, don't you?

There's no way they know where they're going.

- They're just following us. - Yeah.

There's no way they got directions that fast.

Stay with me and let's do this together.

I got you.

Good job, babe.

Do that one and then we'll be, I think, done.

Okay, let's do a quality check.

- Okay. - It had two brown stains.

- Anything? - Yeah. Yeah. No, no. You're good.

- Anything? - No, that's good. Good job, babe.

- Next. - Can we get a check, please?

Hopefully, the motto of "good enough" is working here,

because we did it as quickly and efficiently as possible.

- Okay. - Okay. Merci.

Merci beaucoup.

Where could this have gone wrong?

It's not-it's not supposed to be tricky.

Can we get a check?

That it? She's checking...

She's doing a very thorough check.

My goodness.

- Merci beaucoup. - Merci.

- Good job, guys. - Good job, guys.

"Race to the pit stop."

This is killing me.

When Ana and Jonathan got it before us, frustration

and panic went through my body.

We're ready for another check, please.

- God, I'm nervous. - I don't know... It's fine.

That's on me.

If you think you have what it takes to be on the amazing race,

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

The world is waiting for you.

Don't worry, Holden. It's okay. Here.

Dip it and we're good.

Can we get a check, please?

Merci. Thank you.. Thank you.

"Find Phil on the mat." Okay, let's go ask someone.

- Excuse me. Can you please help us? - We're in last place.

We're trying to get to table I'orientation.

- Left at the fork in the road. - Okay.

Seven minutes.

Do you know how to get to this road right here?

It's pretty self-explanatory.

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

- Thank you, thank you. - Wait.

The margin of error is really small right now.

I know.

They did a left.

So, they're not there.

We're not gonna catch up.

Maybe we should have just used his, um

I know. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

I hope someone got caught up at the laundry, or lost.

What was the name of the road we're going on?

Wait, there's han and Holden.

- My god, that's Mark and Brett. - Really?

Maybe they're lost, too.

- That's the river over there. - All right, we're gonna go left.

- We're gonna go left. - Okay, then we need to do a uey.

- No, I can go left right here. - No, because you're going

up the... you're not going along the river.

You're going adjacent to the river.

- Okay, so where am I going? - U... u-turn.

Ana and Jonathan went straight,

and all we need to do is go left.

Okay, then we had to go left. That's my bad.

Holden, I need you to breathe, okay?

You know, I've been in this situation before.

Okay.

Should be coming up pretty soon.

Okay. That's not a street, that's a business. Okay.

- A little faster, please. - Okay.

Slow down when the turn comes,

not when you're driving straight.

You-you can see the pit stop, right?

Bonjour.

How do we get up there?

I don't...

Yeah, drive to the castle.

To that flag right there.

That... you see that flag?

- Yes. - That flag?

Yeah.

- Deux minute. That's two. - Deux minute.

Okay, we can do... we can do it.

- Let's go. - Merci beaucoup.

Merci beaucoup.

So we did drive there.

Come on, jos.

- We can cross -over there... up there. - Yeah.

Good job.

Welcome alsace region of France.

- Merci beaucoup. - Merci beaucoup.

So, this was a rough day?

- Yeah. Yeah. - A lot of emotions? Alyssa?

Yeah, it was our hardest day yet.

It just feel like we couldn't...

We were always right there with everyone,

but we just couldn't get ahead.

You're team number two.

Thank you. That's awesome.

How?

That was...

- Yes. - You're the best.

I told you you're the best.

I was explaining you're the best,

and then you proved it.

- You see? I told you. - How? How? I don't get it.

- Wow. How? Right? Wow, how. - You know, if we used

the express pass right. That's what we did today.

I thought if we got to the final four, we'd feel like

we knew what we were doing in this race,

and every leg, I get done, and I'm like,

"we have no idea what we're doing."

- Yeah. - But we're doing something right.

I just... I want to make it to the final so bad,

and I think we can do it.

I thought we were out.

This is the amazing race champ right here.

I don't believe it. I thought we were out.

My god.

I thought we were out.

"See table I'orientation."

- See that? - Yes.

So it is up there, but we don't know how to get to it.

We're gonna head this way.

I don't think so, babe.

- Yeah, guess not. - Well, it's not here.

Let's go back to that main road and keep going, I guess?

- Okay. - So we're here.

- Yeah. - If we go down that road,

that would be this way.

- And then we just go down. - Yeah.

- We were-we were going the right way. - Okay.

- We were going the right way, right? - I think so.

- Stop. Go back around. - Why?

There's a little sign that said, "I'orientation table"...

- That way? - Yeah.

Holden, we've been in this situation before.

- You know? - I know, but the racers

that were behind us were not nearly as good

as these ones. Okay, you see that wooden post?

Is that an arrow? What does that say?

- It's an arrow. Keep on following. - Yeah, you're right.

Bro, this is, like, kind of on faith right now.

No, no, no, go back.

You did... You did something wrong.

- What do you mean? - You did something wrong.

That's what I mean.

Is that... That-that, um...

Yeah, that one. That... Maybe it's down that road.

Yes. That one. Go. See how it says,

- "table I'orientation"? Yeah. - All right.

My god.

Go a little faster.

- I just don't... - this isn't it. This isn't it.

- Nope, nope, nope. Keep going. - All right.

Calm down. Look for the parking.

- I can't. I can't... - Look for the marked parking.

Okay. Parking.

- Hold on. Hold on. Just settle down. - Okay.

- Stay right here. - I know. I'm sorry.

I think this is the parking.

- Yup. - All right.

We're just gonna leave the doors open.

Grab my bag.

First right. My god.

All right.

Welcome in alsace region of France.

- Merci. Thank you. - Merci beaucoup.

Jonathan and Ana.

I'm pleased to tell you that

you will be racing in the penultimate leg

- of this amazing race. - Congratulations. -Whoa.

You're team number three.

Not bad. Not bad.
