Previously on The Amazing Race Australia...

In Mongolia, the epic race for a quarter of a million dollars

reached the halfway point...

Exactly what we needed.

Fast, fast, fast. We gotta get there quick, quick, quick.

..and as a new contender rose...

You are the first team to check in.

Yes!

..and we said goodbye to a favourite.

Hayley and Mikayla, your time on the race is over.

The fact that we get to explore new places with your sister,

you know, what more could you want?

Tonight, the competition reaches new heights in Africa...

Zimbabwe!

..where the wildlife...

What?!

..and the nature...

..are as big as the rivalries.

Sid was wild.

Today is hashtag...

The end of Jasmin and Jerome.

..but when it comes to working together...

Tim and Rod will have our back now.

It was about to bite them on the bum.

..it's every team for themselves.

As if I'm gonna let you overtake.

That's just purely dangerous.

We are in magical Mongolia,

a land of great contrasts.

From the desert nomads

to the colourful metropolis of Ulaanbaatar,

and it's from here that the teams are departing in

the order they arrived in the last Pit Stop.

Yes, best rip yet.

Where are we going, babe?

Fly to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe!

Teams are on their way to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe,

a land-locked country in southern Africa with more wildlife

than you can shake a spear at,

and it's home to one of the seven wonders of the world,

the gorgeous Victoria Falls here in Zimbabwe,

and it's here that our six remaining teams will continue

the seventh leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

God damn, it's loud, but geez, it's beautiful.

Fly to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe!

Oh! Zimbabwe. Once outside the airport,

find the chieftainship of a local village...

..and receive her greeting for your next clue.

Nice, let's go.

We're leading with a bit of confidence today,

winning the last leg. We just want to keep that lead

and keep being dangerous in that top, sort of, pack.

Yeah.

Whoa, we're going to Africa.

The only thing we know about Zimbabwe is

the Zimbabwe bobsled team, and apart from that,

we no idea, like...

What? It's Jamaican bobsled team.

Is it?

Oh, it's a big one! It's a big one!

We just really need to change the way we play the game.

You know, at the beginning we were just pissed off that

Sid and Ash lied to us.

Maybe Sid and Ash weren't telling us the truth.

We don't know yet.

Being lied to, leg one, when we hadn't even really met.

It really just made me very cautious of those guys.

But I also want us to maintain our good alliances that we've built.

Friendships with the other teams.

Yeah.

But friendship ain't much use to a team that's missed

the start of the race.

Oh, how are you? What's the time?

It's pretty silly not bringing a watch.

We were late to pit start, which meant we went from fourth

to sixth place to start the leg.

Fly to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe!

Sir.

For me, this is the craziest thing that I'm heading to Zimbabwe,

'cause I haven't actually been to Africa.

So, the fact that I'm going to Africa is just

going to be insane and like...

Might have a little bit of an advantage,

you know what I'm saying?

Fly to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Have your passports. Thank you.

Thanks.

All teams are now making the 15,000km journey

from Mongolia to Zimbabwe.

It was such a long journey to get here.

Like, over 24 hours. Exhausting.

Thank you so much.

And then when we got here.

It's the cherry on the cake.

I was just, like, what just happened?

Who spits in someone's face?

Thank you.

Ooh!

I had no idea what was going on. I thought we went up to

the wrong lady and we've just... someone just spat in our face.

Oh, wow. That was refreshing.

Let's do it.

What a welcome. Make your way to Zambia.

This active route marker will bring our teams here,

to the stunning Victoria Bridge,

which crosses the almighty Zambezi River.

A short cab ride will bring them to this spectacular border,

where they'll cross on foot to Zambia, and then travel to

Batoka Sky Aerodrome for their next clue.

Alright. Let's go.

Oh, whoa. What's this?

A baboon!

What?

They're massive.

Whoa.

Just a casual baboon just crossing the road, you know?

Strolling across.

Absolutely stoked to be here in Africa.

Soon as we're in the taxi out of the airport we're seeing

wildlife everywhere. Baboons crossing the road,

signs on the road saying watch for elephant crossings.

I was just waiting for a lion to just, like, jump out any moment.

Let's go, Ash.

Over here says, "Thank you for visiting Zimbabwe."

So, I'm assuming this is the end of the border.

I can't believe we just landed in one country,

and we're crossing the border to the next.

The boys are, like, 100 metres behind us. Tim and Rod are.

You can see Sid and Ash up ahead.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, look.

Oh, my God.

Tyler and I started with four wins,

but in the last leg we finished fourth.

So, I'm hoping we can get our way back up to the top three.

Yep.

So, we knew it was a footrace to run over to Zambia.

This is where we make up our time.

Is this the bridge, guys? Must be, eh?

When we get passed by Tom and Tyler, we're like,

"Oh, now we're at the back of the pack again."

Do you want me to take my pack?

We managed to pass two teams during the run which was

massive for us 'cause we got ourselves back to fourth place,

which is where we would have started the day.

We're going to Batoka Sky. Do you know where that is?

Yeah.

Perfect.

Oh, no, here come Tom and Tyler.

Let's just go. Let's get in. Let's get in.

We're so keen to beat the biggest threats in this competition

and we view that as Tom and Tyler.

There's a flag, there's a flag.

Yeah. Go in, go in.

Roadblock.

Who does things to the letter?

A roadblock is a challenge that only

one team member may complete.

One member from each team must find their head for heights

and soar like an eagle over the breathtaking Victoria Falls.

From the air, teams will need to spot six letters.

K, I, U, N, U, and M.

Once back on the ground, they'll need to unscramble

those letters to spell the word Mukuni,

which is a local village

and the location of their next clue.

Alright, I'll take it. I'll take it.

Roadblock. Who does things to the letter?

Alright, I'm gonna do it.

Let's keep that lead.

Ooh, I'm excited.

When we were taking off I felt a little nervous

and I kept talking to my driver.

I was like, "Where do I hold?" and he's like,

"You don't have to hold anything," and I was like, "Ah, OK."

Oh, my God.

She's an adventure junky, so I'm fully confident that

she'll get it, you know? The first go.

So, we can keep increasing the lead and win this leg.

Roadblock.

You got this? Yeah.

Yes. Let's go, eh? Come on, let's go.

Do you want me to do it?

Oh, it's you, mate.

That sounds cryptic. This one's me.

OK. Let's just do it.

Think you're gonna do it?

Who does things to the letter?

That's me. That's you.

Come on.

Do you reckon it's gonna be some really obscure African village, or?

We have very strong friendships with Jasmin, Jerome,

and Viv and Joey, and we trust them completely.

Should we try and help each other out with

making sure we get all the letters?

What we found so far is if we help our friends,

they're gonna help us back.

We've survived six legs at this point,

and we said we'd help Jerome and Jasmin

if the opportunity came up, but with Tom and Tyler,

we just know they're always gonna get ahead.

They're always gonna be able to beat us in a footrace,

so we're quite hesitant to help them.

Mwah, love you, my darling. Have fun. Enjoy.

I definitely said a prayer for Jerome as he hopped onto that

plane into that sky on that tiny little aircraft.

I just have to make sure I was gonna stay switched on

and look for the letters because there was so much to see.

Saw elephants, saw zebras drinking, you know,

at a water hole. So, making sure I capture the letters

as we're going along.

The Victorian Falls is breathtaking.

There was just, like, a rainbow going through

the spouting water from the waterfall.

Like, it was just an amazing way to start the morning.

I completed the challenge really quickly.

At this point we were ahead of the pack.

Go, mate!

Oh, that looks sick.

Up in the sky I was actually quite confident.

I could see the letters quite clearly

and the view was spectacular.

Like, I honestly say I've never seen anything as beautiful.

I got it, I got it. Yeah, nice.

Looks like Sid and Ash go it first go.

That's a massive lead.

Let's go into there and see if there's a map.

Oh, here. Here. Perfect.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

We grabbed a map straight away.

You driving, Sid?

Once I wrote the letters down we got the word, um,

almost instantly.

M, U, K, yes.

Perfect. To Mukuni, that's where it is.

OK, sweet.

I was super proud of Ash. She got these words on

the first go and we were ready to move on.

It's Mukuni. That's definitely what it is.

I managed to find all six letters the first time.

Now, gotta frickin' decode this thing. Good work, Jerome.

Jerome, we gotta go.

Mr. Nice Guy, right here. I was not happy when I realised

he was literally just giving them the answer on a silver platter.

Babe, come on, we need to move.

Thanks.

What was it?

I didn't even see the letters.

If we can get an advantage through challenges like this,

we're gonna take it. So, we kept these letters to ourselves.

Why did you just do that?

I probably should have said they were six letters

instead of actually giving them, you know...

The answer. ..the answer.

So, I felt a bit silly later.

U, N, I. Mukuni Village.

Yeah.

I knew that Tom's a bit scared of heights so this was

a good one for me to take over. Tom generally doesn't like doing

outdoorsy and adventurous stuff, so we keep him to the rice eating

challenges. That's more your side of things?

It's not true at all.

I was up in the air for half an hour

but I only spotted five letters. We needed six.

Damn it. Anything else on your hands?

No. Must have missed a letter.

I really don't want to have to go back up again,

'cause we'll be at the back of the pack.

I was horrified. I thought, "He's been up there for a very

"long time and now he's gotten it wrong. We are done."

Anything else on your hand?

No, I must have missed a letter.

I was up in the air for half an hour,

but I only spotted five letters. We needed six.

I don't really want to have to go back up again,

'cause we'll be at the back of the pack.

Viv's about to head up here. Pretty stoked that Tim and Rod

missed a letter so they'll have to go to the back of the line.

That's a good confidence boost for us.

How'd you go?

No, I only had five.

Did you not get it?

Care to help us out?

Which one?

I got K, I, U, N, M.

There's two U's.

Oh, I thought it was the same one.

Don't say we don't look after you, boys.

Yes.

We were both so surprised that Tom and Tyler had helped us

and given us a letter we were missing,

just because the whole competition, they just seemed like they'd be

in it to win it no matter what it takes.

Let's go.

Tim and Rod have just taken off.

I think maybe Tom and Tyler gave them the sixth letter.

That's very interesting.

Is this it?

Big 5 Safari Mukuni, yeah.

Wait, it's in there, Sid. What are you doing?

All we had was the word Mukuni, but we didn't know whether it was

the Mukuni Big 5 Safari, or the Mukuni village.

You reckon we turn around?

Um, yeah.

Let's just hope we're on the right track.

Mukuni... Mukuni Big 5 Safari.

This one? Yep. Yep.

But we don't know if we're going here.

Oh, look at this elephant on the road, babe.

I don't know if we've got time for this.

Excuse me, sir, can you please move your elephant

off the road?

We're kind of in a race, so...

Yeah, Tim and Rod are behind us.

We helped them out a heap. If they had to get back in line

and do that, they'd be coming last right now.

Hopefully that comes back later in the...

Yeah, hopefully if there's a U-turn or anything ahead,

Tim and Rod will have our back now.

Big Safari 5.

It can't be this, can it?

It'd have to be the village, wouldn't it?

I knew that Mukuni village was the next place.

It was right on the map that Tom had gotten.

It had really given us a head start,

'cause we didn't have to stop and ask anyone.

No. No.

Alright, you happy to rule this out?

Yeah.

We got to Mukuni Safari Big 5 and we couldn't see a clue box,

so it must be Mukuni village.

Jerome! Jerome.

Do you guys want to work together just for this, like, initial bit?

Sid and Ash said, "Let's work together."

What a joke.

What is Mukuni? And there's a village, Mukuni village,

that's 10 minutes that way. Are you guys happy to follow us

to Mukuni village?

Yeah, I reckon we're gonna head to the village.

Just drive around.

Sid and Ash, they'll snake you in a second.

You need to be a bit more guarded.

You shouldn't have just said the word.

Gotta ask people questions. You don't just give information.

I think I did the smartest thing that I've done all race,

to be honest. I disagree.

Why are you do filled with doubt?

Sid, take a breath and just relax, 'cause you're getting annoying.

Yeah, don't squeeze me. Just take a breath and just relax.

Jerome went up second and he wrote down all the letters for us,

but I needed to go up to confirm them.

It was a really quick flight, though.

I think we completed it in less than five minutes.

Thank you, that was very cool.

See you, Nick!

Let's go.

We really don't let things try and bother us too much,

'cause, you know, if you dwell on the fact that you're sixth,

you're probably gonna stay sixth,

but if you just think that you're still in it,

then you can actually still be in it. That's our thought process.

K, U, N, U, M, I.

How long ago do you reckon Joe and Viv left?

Probably been about 15 minutes now.

Excuse me, do you know where this is?

If you can help me unscramble this.

Maybe it's with these letters.

You don't know? No.

I really do think that we are one of the strongest teams here.

We just get lost. Like, that's just our issue.

We just get lost.

Oh, wow.

Are we the first here? There's no one in the parking.

Good boy. First place.

We're back, baby. Back, baby. We're back.

We rocked up to Mukuni Village to find a huge band

and an intersection.

It's time for an intersection.

An intersection is a challenge that two teams must

work together to complete. In this intersection,

teams must play a traditional African instrument called

a marimba. Once the two teams have performed the melody

in perfect sync, the leader of the band will

give them their next clue.

We had to wait. Had to wait for another team to arrive.

Oh, oh, oh!

Hey, hey!

Go straight until you see Mukuni Big 5 and then left?

Just straight.

Just keep going straight?

Yeah, just keep going straight.

Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.

He's given us the exact directions.

Are you on the wrong side of the road?

Oh, yeah, sorry.

We got to the village, finally,

and we saw that it was an intersection.

Oh, look, Tom and Tyler are here.

You're kidding me.

Tom and Tyler, who were fourth place,

are first to the village. How do these guys keep doing this?

Play an African song on the marimbas...

With another team to receive the next clue.

Do you guys want to play?

Um...

Do you want to do it with us?

Yeah, alright. You guys want to do it?

Yeah, let's do it.

Yeah, *** them.

Sid was wild about that. Fuming.

We're gonna have to wait for another team.

That's alright. That's not OK.

I explicitly said to Jerome, "Let's do this together,"

and they just *** it. They turned the other way

and decided to pick Tom and Tyler.

If you understand that it's a race and stuff, but, like, move.

Shut up, Sid.

It was frustrating, I guess, just watching the teams

do that challenge, and us waiting on the side.

Knowing that we'd gotten there second.

You're talking to Jerome and Jasmin and now they're just

talking to them. Like, if you moved, we'd have Tom and Tyler.

Shut up.

One, two, three, four.

The traditional marimba instrument is basically like

a xylophone back home and I did not get my xylophone licence

when I was in primary school.

Oh.

Trying to play in time with another team is nearly impossible.

I think there's stuff up here, Tim. I think it's an intersection.

Oh, wow.

Quick, quick, quick! We need to do it in pairs.

We need to do it in pairs.

Is it an intersection? Yes, grab the clue

and then you're gonna to work with us,

'cause Tom and Tyler are now with, um, Jerome and Jasmin.

It's over there.

Dun, dun, dun, dun. That's what the beat is.

Tim and Rod had a chance to catch up to Sid and Ash in that time,

so there was a bit of time pressure on us and Jasmin

and Jerome to get it done the first time.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Baby!

Thank you, brother. Thank you.

Detour.

Cultivate or separate.

A detour is a choice of two challenges.

Each with their own pros and cons.

In this detour, teams will decide between

cultivate or separate.

Working the land is the way of life here.

Our teams that choose cultivate must harness these two ox

to this plough and create eight straight furrows ready to

plant their next crop. If their lines aren't straight,

the farmers will tell them to start again,

but if you plough like a pro, you receive the next clue.

I'm going alright, but whoever came up with the saying

"strong as an ox" is a liar.

Or choose to separate. When couples get married in Zambia,

it's customary for families to separate their backyards to

create a new homestead. Using a batch of thatch,

our teams must construct a dividing fence,

and once judged satisfactory, then and only then,

will they receive their next clue.

I reckon we, we do the cultivate.

Follow the children who will lead you to the oxen.

Oxen, let's go. Oxen.

This way?

Oh, this is so cool.

The fencing one.

OK, let's go. Let's go.

Think you chose right. Like, oxen might be tough.

Which is the best? Which is a good ox?

Which one's the best oxen? Which one do you reckon?

Oh, there's a lot of shit in here. We'll go with the big one.

The big oxen.

You're gonna be good for us today, I reckon.

Oh!

You're gonna have to man up a little bit here, Tom.

Come on, Pasma.

We've been going with choosing the more physically demanding

challenges thus far.

Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. I can't slow him down.

It's so hard.

Make sure. You want eight lines. Good ones.

Honda, Pasma.

Move, move, move.

Command the animal to move.

Move, Honda. Move, Honda. Pasma. Move.

Go, go, go. Honda.

Oh, it's a demonstration. Hello, sir.

OK.

Ah, yes.

Great. Yep, let's go.

It was quite challenging, you know, to build a fence

the traditional way that needed to be signed off by the chief.

The elder.

Is this your home?

Oh, wow.

Beautiful area. Beautiful kids. Thank you for having us.

It's pretty awesome we get to come here.

We're building this fence for a newlywed couple.

It's amazing to be able to do something to

give back to the community.

Over the moon.

Yeah.

Babe, be careful, do not snap it.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Detour.

Cultivate or separate.

Work the soil to create eight furrows.

Furrows.

Oh, I think the fence. Arriba!

The ploughing one. I think it's gonna be faster.

Let's go.

To the ox, to the ox.

What's your name? Valenka.

Valenka? Yes.

Oh, my name's Tim. Thank you.

You think you have issues back home,

and these kids are running through the village,

biggest smiles on their faces, so happy, and they've got nothing.

It really did open our eyes to how lucky we've got it back home.

Run, run! Yay!

Play an African song on the marimbas with another team

to receive your next clue.

Alright, we're gonna have to wait for Nick and Femi.

Do you want to pull over and just ask these blokes?

Yeah. Hey, hey.

OK, so turn around?

Alright, thank you. Thank you, thank you.

I have no idea how far down I have go down this road.

The boys are, like, the worst at finding their way to places.

Here we are stranded, stressing,

waiting for them to come, knowing that we're second last

as well. So, this was a critical moment.

We could actually be waiting here for hours knowing them.

We want to maintain our lead in front of the, uh,

the so-called influencers. That's better.

OK, push there, Sid.

OK, you got them?

Is that enough?

At their intersection, Jasmin and Jerome went with

Tom and Tyler. We should have been there instead of them.

Yeah, just start helping me.

As we were building the fence, I could feel Sid's frustration.

The knot is at the front. The knot is at the front.

My frustration came from the fact that Jasmin and Jerome

were now in front of us.

Yeah? That feel good?

Yeah, that does now.

We supported each other and backed each other.

Careful, babe. This is starting to come together.

I think we worked well as a team.

Can you listen a bit more when I speak to you?

Let me cut it, let me cut it.

No, I don't want to cut it.

Why?

'Cause you're wasting time cutting it.

If it's detail then he's gonna say...

We can cut it all again, all at once.

Yeah, the line must be straight, OK, guys?

Straight to the pole. Go left.

This is a great pre-season training idea.

I'll go plough first.

Alright, so start ploughing, like, right here, Tim. Here you go.

Should we go this one? It's under a tree,

You going straight? Yeah.

Gay boys aren't good at doing anything straight.

This is hard. Oh, shit.

How you going, boys?

It's the last one.

You're killing me, mate.

You're actually killing me.

The head farmer who was judging our ploughing skills was

very strict on how straight our lines were.

I can't do it much straighter than that.

Do you want me to get the ruler out?

You never argue with the umpire, you know that.

Why did we rush it?

Lads come on. Let's go, let's go. Intersection.

Ready? Yeah.

As soon as we pull up, we see Viv and Joey at the front,

so we're like, "OK, boom, like, we're still in this,

"let's keep going."

Play an African song on the marimbas with another team

to receive your next clue.

Three, two, one, let's go.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

I was feeling pretty stressed being at the back of the pack.

You're just trying to fight to stay in.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

Come on, bull. Stay straight.

We need one more. We need one more straight one.

That's good.

That's a good one. Let's go, let's go.

Let's do it, mate. Best one, best one.

Go, mate, we got this. We got this.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh, spewing.

A surprise message in their cars will lead them

to their next clue.

Oh, my God, Tim, it's your... our mums.

What do you mean?

They're on an IPad.

What? Oh, my God.

Hi, Rod and Tim.

Wow, look how far you have come.

We love you so much, and we just wanted to let you know

that you're in our prayers and our thoughts.

We just could not believe it. It was both our mums,

who we love so dearly,

sending the cutest message from home.

We don't know where you are in the world,

but wherever you are it will be amazing.

I started crying right off the bat.

We absolutely love and adore our families.

We're always walking beside you, and in this case,

running beside you, very quickly, I hope.

We love you both.

For them to say that they were proud of us,

it just made our day and just gave us that energy to really fight

all the way to the end.

Your next hint is...

Ride the waters of the Zambezi River

to Livingstone Island.

Teams must make their way to the Livingstone Island Launchsite

and catch one of only two available tourist vessels.

If they miss the boat, it could mean an agonizing wait

of up to 45 minutes.

Once on board, they'll cruise the swift waters of the Zambezi

to Livingstone Island, where they'll search for their next clue.

Quick, get to it. Hurry!

Well, stop talking!

That was so cool. OK, let's go. Let's go.

One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

We were quick going through the intersection.

Good momentum, we nailed it the first go.

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

Detour. Cultivate or separate.

What are you thinking? We can plough.

We just use our physical and just plough through it.

Yeah, I think so.

Fence post. I don't know if you can carry that stuff, Viv.

Let's do cultivate. Yeah, cultivate.

Straight line, straight line, straight line.

This is hard, huh?

Just try your best, Joe.

One more. The Geelong Highway here.

I think this one is better.

Good line.

Well done.

Good work. Good work.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Oh. Looks like we've got an iPad of some sort.

Tyler, Tom, how are you boys? I hope you guys are having

a fantastic time and not arguing too much.

Yeah, my old man was giving me a little message from home.

Hey, listen, uh, we miss you boys.

Ty, mum, Dylan, and I really miss you.

It was good to see the big fellow again.

Good luck. Hope you guys go well. Hope you guys bring home the prize.

Thanks, Paulie.

Zambezi.

He didn't put my dog in it.

Put this bottom one on and the top, come on.

Alright.

It's taking a while. Lordy.

Choosing the fencing detour took quite a bit of time

and skill to make sure you lined up the rows of sticks,

you tie them on properly.

Far out.

We're catching them, too. Let's keep pushing.

OK.

We really need to get moving.

Come on, babe. It's neck and neck and we got here before them.

Ash, we'll fix it after.

Can you just calm down? What are you in a rush for?

Do you understand that this is a race?

What do you mean, "What are you in a rush for?"

sake.

We were hoping to try and finish before them

even though they're snakes.

Livingstone Island is what I'm looking for.

Is there anything on the map?

I was freaking out 'cause I'm not really good with maps.

Alright, so we're on this road now.

Is that what this is?

I was trying to find the location on the map.

I didn't know if it was upside down.

We're gonna come to the end of this road here.

We're either gonna be able to go left or right.

See, we're wanting to go, drive to

Livingstone Island Launchsite.

Living... Oh, here it is, right here.

Livingstone Island Launchsite.

At least we went the right way. Yeah.

We got to the parking lot. We managed to do our little

weasel trick and get ourselves back up the top.

At least the both of us get to have some fun this time.

Yeah, I know, and you'll get to see the top of the falls.

How beautiful is this?

The boat ride was amazing. We were on the Zambezi river

and there was birds flying over and greenery and flowing water

and we were there with a nice UK family of four.

Thanks, mate. Thanks, brother.

Don't see any other boats which is good.

Yes.

Oh, yes.

Yes!

Unreal.

One of the pleasures that we have often had is,

when you come in first, is to take a moment and look around.

How amazing? This is spectacular.

Victoria Falls is right in front of us.

Such a great view right down to the bottom.

No fences, no nothing. Just a sheer cliff face

and a drop and it was just unbelievable.

"Drive yourselves to the Elephant Cafe

and search of Beau at your next Pit Stop.

Hurry! The last team to check in may be eliminated."

Geez.

The biggest and most iconic of all African wildlife

are these gentle giants.

Known as the Zambezi herd, they've all been rescued,

and are cared for here at the Mosi-oa-tunya National Park

and they love hanging out at the Elephant Cafe,

which is the pit stop for the seventh leg of

The Amazing Race Australia.

And they are huge.

Once here, teams must walk, not run,

or they'll scare the crap out of the elephants.

Babe, this is sick.

Yes!

Oh, a crocodile. See it on the rock?

That's a small one, eh?

Oh, there's Tom and Tyler there.

Is there? Did youse get it?

Yeah!

We had made up ground, we were so close.

Enjoy it up there.

Really? It's so nice.

Unreal.

Thanks, guys.

They had said, "When you get up to the Falls,

"make sure you enjoy every second of this."

They were playing ball. They had realised they shouldn't

have helped us earlier in this leg,

because it was about to bite them on the bum.

Good luck, boys. See youse.

We see Tim and Rod and we know we gotta kick it up

a gear and get to the Pit Stop.

We need to go, quick.

Yeah.

I want to beat them.

Oh, my God.

Are you serious?

Oh, there it is.

Route Info.

Drive yourself to the Elephant Cafe in search for

Beau at your next Pit Stop.

Oh, my gosh. Here we go.

This is pretty straight, right?

I got junior over here. He likes what he sees.

How'd we go, boss?

Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you.

We see Viv and Joe get their clue.

We gotta work harder. We gotta make sure we get

these lines straight.

Keep it straight, Nick. It's our last one.

Can we get the inspector?

Now you can have this.

Beautiful, thank you.

There is a surprise... Waiting for you at your vehicle.

Let's go. Let's go.

Oh, my God. It's an iPad.

Hey, Joe and V, It's Dom. I just wanted to let you guys

know that the family is so, so super proud of you guys

for making it this far into the race.

Congratulations. No matter where you guys are in the world,

just know that we are always going to be with you.

Hi, guys!

What the hell?

Don't bicker. You guys work great as a team

and we just expect you to bring home the win!

Yeah, come on. For sure.

Go get them, guys.

Alright, let's go.

Let's go. That was cute.

What are you doing still watching this video?

Go!

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's just try and even it out a bit.

Excuse me, sir?

How do you think we went?

Thank you very much, sir. Thank you so much, sir.

Thank you. The pleasure's mine.

We loved being here.

Hello! Hey, kids. Hey.

How far?

Uh, yeah, we're just trying to catch Jerome and Jasmin.

Where's the car? This way.

It was super frustrating seeing Jasmin and Jerome get this

detour finished before us and as soon as I saw that

I was like, "We need to beat them to the Pit Stop."

Press the button.

Hi, Jerome and Jasmin!

Oh, my God.

We're all so incredibly proud of you both and how far you have come.

To see our beautiful baby Jerome with all my sisters

and my mum was just unreal.

Baba misses you lots, but he's having so much fun here

with us and we don't want to see you home any time soon.

Look how big our boy is.

This could change our lives back home, you know?

We want to be able to build him a home, set him up for life.

So, winning this race is massive for us.

Bye!

Bye! Oh, my God.

Alright.

It was just, yeah, it was amazing to see our boy,

you know? We're here for him.

And let's just keep racing our race. Let's not give up.

Don't. Just get away.

'Cause it's dry. Should have done it when it was wet.

Perfect.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

There's only one car left, Ash.

We are in last place.

Want me to drive?

No. Quick, quick, quick.

Arguing definitely set us behind.

Amazing.

Beautiful, eh?

Mate, let's just hope Tom and Tyler get lost.

We got this, mate. Let's catch them.

Let's catch them. Number one, number one.

Yes. Let's go, Tom.

Come on.

Thank you. Thank you.

I think that's Tom and Tyler in that car.

We've got to beat these blokes here.

Get in the car. Get in the car, quick.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Go. Let's go.

It's been a good day. Be good if we could finish it

off with a first place. Absolutely.

So just straight until I hit traffic lights, yeah?

Yeah. Are they in that car?

Oh, my God, mate, this is close.

What? They were just there.

We need to beat them on a foot race here, Tim.

Driving to the pit stop, Tom and Tyler and us

we're literally neck and neck.

Now, that we're in front of them,

they're probably just gonna follow us.

Mate, this is it. This is so close.

We wanted that number one spot so badly

and we're gonna do anything we could to get it.

This is us.

Oh, she's bumpy.

This is it!

Oh, my God! There's their car. Where?

They're just around that bend. Tom and Tyler?

Yes. That's them in front.

This is gonna be literally a sprint to the end.

- Jeez! It is red hot. - Nerve-wracking.

Yes, mate! Yes, mate! We're right on their arse.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

I'm wearing yours. I'm wearing yours.

Thank you.

We did our first place

and you have to walk through the Elephant Cafe

otherwise you could get trampled.

Oh, elephants!

Oh, look at the elephants! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! There's elephants.

I don't know if you can see through the elephants there,

but we've got two teams coming through.

We've got Tom and Tyler at the front

and it looks like Tim and Rod hot on their heels.

They've gotta come through the elephants

to the pit stop.

The teams can't run,

because they could scare the wild elephants.

Come on, boys! Give us a leg.

You guys would still be at the paragliding

if it wasn't for us.

Wait! I thought it wasn't pit stop.

We took our time looking at that waterfall.

Four feet.

Welcome to Zambia.

Thank you so much.

Welcome to Zambia.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Well done, boys.

Thank you. Thank you, mate.

Massive effort.

Tom, Tyler... you're the first team to check-in.

Tim, Rod... second team.

Yeah! Yay!

Tom and Tyler have underestimated us

this race so far.

I don't think they've looked at us as a threat.

I think that's why they helped us

early on in the leg.

I don't think they're gonna make that mistake again.

Wonderful effort, boys. Especially you guys.

Rest, recover, hydrate,

and I'll see you again soon.

Bring it in! Come on!

Good job! Good one!

Good job.

We started this leg in last place

and to turn it around and come first

is exactly what we wanted to do,

so we're stoked!

Well done, sir. Well done, mate.

Livingstone Island Shop Launch Site.

- Bang! - Yep, nice.

Hello, sir. Hi! How are you?

Whoo!

Oh, yeah.

It's awesome.

Holy shit!

Wow!

Whoo!

Alright, let's go.

Taken it in.

Drive yourselves to the Elephant Cafe

and search for Beau at your next pit stop.

Alright, let's go. OK.

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

You didn't need the window up.

It says secure your keys in your bumbag.

In your bumbag, not...

..it's got nothing to do with the car.

You're being such a *** jerk.

Oy! I have to get out of the *** car!

We ran straight for the boat

only to find that the boat wasn't there anymore,

so we had a good 30 minutes to wait,

which wasn't pleasant.

I get you're annoyed sometimes

and there's multiple things that can come up,

because that's, like, what's happening right now.

Mm-hm.

But you need to speak nicer. OK, I'm sorry.

When it comes to arguing,

I'm the kind of person that most times

does want to sort it out.

The issue that I'm facing at the moment

is that I feel especially today,

you're way relaxed.

Like, this still is a race.

If you start listening a little more, I think...

Oh, it's my fault. It's still my fault.

Look. This is how it is. I know.

I disagree with what you're saying.

I don't have to agree with you, Sid.

Funnily enough, I'm allowed to disagree.

- Wow! - Whoa!

Oh, my God!

Holy cow!

That is amazing! That is unreal.

Oh, what a ripper.

Drive yourself to the Elephant Cafe

and search for Beau at your next pit stop.

The last team to check-in may be eliminated.

Let's get out of here. Elephant Cafe. Let's do it.

Let's go! Quick!

We knew that we were coming last

and all we wanted was to catch other teams.

I see Ash on that boat.

Oh, my God! It's so close.

Short amount of time that we've got

to get in front of them.

We have to nail this to get to this Elephant Cafe.

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Come on! Keep pace.

Let's get that pit stop.

Really don't want Nick, Femi,

- Jerome, Jasmin to go home. - No.

Hoping they make it in before Sid and Ash.

Here we are. Our little champions.

They've got the biggest hearts.

Welcome to Zambia.

Thank you so much.

Viv and Joey...

..well, you are the third team to check-in.

Well done.

We feel like we're back finally.

Coming in third place is a hell of a lot better

than coming in second last for the last two legs.

Thanks, mate.

We know that we can't get too arrogant.

These are strong, strong teams

and anything can happen.

Bit critical at the moment, because Sid and Ash

where just behind us.

But we think we're still a good 10-15 minutes away,

so we're just hoping that we get to the pit stop.

We're so tight with other teams

if we just turn the wrong way...

..we're gone.

We left the boat challenge and we've been driving around

for an hour.

I was so worried, because we had a small lead

on Sid and Ash...

..but now we're just so lost.

Drive down Naccatilly Road.

Babe!

I flipped the map over and realised the road

that we need to go to is actually back

towards the township.

The map said it was back this direction.

Oh, my God.

We hadn't seen any other cars.

We had a small lead on Sid and Ash.

Yeah... And we were lost.

This is so stressful.

We know that we're coming last at the moment.

We've just gotta hope that someone makes, like,

a huge mistake.

Holy!

Wow! Alright, let's go.

Drive yourself to the Elephant Cafe

and search for Beau at your next pit stop.

Hurry. The last team to check-in

may be eliminated. Yeah.

Thank you! Thank you so much.

Thank you.

We're not playing aggressive enough.

Like, the patience and the calmness

and stuff is good, but then I think today

it came to a level of like...

..we actually forgot this was a race.

We left the boat challenge

and we've been driving around for an hour.

I was so worried, because we had a small lead

on Sid and Ash. Yeah.

And we were lost.

Should I just yell out? Yeah, just pull up.

Hello... um...

..Is Elephant Cafe this way?

The clue said to find the pit stop

at the Elephant Cafe.

Back there?

It turns out...

..we were heading in the wrong direction.

The horns?

Yes. Alright.

The road that we need to go to

is actually back where we were.

Thank you! Thank you!

I just hope we're not gonna be eliminated.

I'm gonna give you the map.

No, I don't want the map. I want you to read it.

I just want you to confirm it with me.

No, I don't want to confirm it. You don't want to confirm it?

I want you to take full accountability for this

and just tell me left and right,

left and right.

Alright, you're being a complete ***,

but let's just go with it then.

Yeah, Elephant Cafe.

Keep going straight.

I see the flag.

Close it. Come on. Grab your stuff.

And it looks like it's the nurses, Femi and Nick.

First time they haven't got lost

Oh, the elephants! Beautiful! Amazing!

We can't run, because there's

wild elephants everywhere,

so we just started speed walking to the pit stop.

You know what I'm saying?

Welcome to Zambia.

Thank you.

Femi, Nick... you are...

..the fourth team to check-in.

Thank the Lord, like...

..after such, like, a miserable start to the leg...

..like, coming in fourth was just absolutely amazing.

We were stoked.

Good job, boys.

Come on.

Thank you.

Obviously, we had to hurry,

so we were like all guns blazing

towards pit stop.

We thought we were last and then we looked behind

and saw Jasmin and Jerome tailing us.

We've got a team behind us.

Game's on!

Despite all the mistakes that we had made

throughout the day, we were not actually last.

So, I reckon Sid and Ash are sitting in front of us.

You really for the race of your life, babe?

Yeah.

As we were driving,

they decided to overtake us.

I wasn't going to let them overtake us.

It's a race, right?

Babe! Babe! No! No! No!

No! He's purposely...

..but he's purposely doing that.

Like, I didn't do anything wrong, Jasmin.

I know, but he's swerving in front of you like...

As if I'm gonna *** let you overtake.

For Sid to do that...

..like that's just purely dangerous.

Is that the Elephant Cafe over there?

I don't know.

When we get out of this car, babe.

We have to absolutely leg it.

Yeah, just park here, park here.

Quick! Quick!

We pulled up to the parking lot and Ash's door was still locked.

Oh, my God!

Park and get out.

Put your bag on! Quick! Quick! Quick!

Should we take the keys? No! No! Just go!

Run! Just run!

Where's my bag?

They were mucking around

getting their bags out of the boot.

Shit! I'm sorry. For *** sake!

So, we had a 15m head start on those guys.

For *** sake.

Relax. Just do a fast walk.

Yeah, but we can't catch them.

Alright, here we go.

Cut through. It doesn't say to follow the path.

Yes, it does! It does.

It says you must follow the road.

I can't believe Sid and Ash...

Seriously... ..put us all in danger.

How do we keep blowing *** leads like this?

Just be positive. And make mistakes that like...

Be positive, Sid. ..until the *** end.

Be positive.

Positive vibes.

Welcome to Zambia.

Thank you. Thank you.

Jasmine, Jerome...

..you are...

..fifth team to check-in.

Well done, my love.

You're still in.

Just.

Even though we thought we were going to be eliminated,

we managed to sneak in there on fifth spot.

Welcome to Zambia.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

How you guys feeling?

Made a lot of mistakes today, mate, so...

..just gonna cop it on the chin, and see what happens.

Sid, Ash...

..you are the last team to check-in.

However...

..this is a predetermined non-elimination leg.

Yay! Yeah!

You will continue racing.

Yes!

This is the biggest lesson we could've had, coming last,

and the fact that we're still in the race,

we're gonna have to relook at how we do things,

because today was a disaster.

Next time on The Amazing Race Australia.

As our African Safari continues in Zimbabwe.

Unbelievable! It's something out of a picture book.

Best moment of my life.

Teams are going back to school.

We had the whole community there cheering us on.

Really, really nice.

To learn some hard lessons.

Do that! Do that!

Our anxiety, stress, and, like, fear

went from here to, like...

To break the rules...

We got instructed we can't do that

otherwise we'd all be doing that.

Whoo! Whoo!

Rules are there to be broken.

..and you'll find yourself...

You know the rules.

Take a seat, please.

This can't be happening.

..in detention.
