Previously on The Amazing Race Australia.

As the final five hit Malawi...

Welcome to Africa. Oh, wow.

..the gloves came off.

You must vote a team to U-turn.

We need an insane miracle.

Go, go, go, we're not going home.

But in the race to the mat, legends were forged...

If they're not thinking twice about us, definitely should be.

They're right of us.

..and no team was left behind.

This is a non-elimination leg. Oh, my God!

The Amazing Race gods just kept giving back to us.

Tonight, as we reach the pointy end of the competition...

Are you alright, Tim? Oh, jeez, that's bad. That's bad.

..the teams need to focus...

They're getting flustered, Joe. Argh!

Come on, man. ..as in a shock exit...

Teams are dropping like flies. ..a contender will go home.

Tim! Tim! Tim!

Our five remaining teams are still in Malawi,

which is one of the smallest countries in Africa

and affectionately referred to as its warm heart.

And although it's one of the poorest countries on Earth,

its people are amongst the most welcoming. Hello!

Hello!

It's also home to the third largest lake in Africa,

known as the Lake of Stars,

and it's the tenth stop for The Amazing Race Australia.

Teams will start at two-minute intervals

in the order they finished the previous leg.

First team out of the gates are footie mates, Tom and Tyler.

"Peddle a dugout canoe across Leopard Bay

"to Lifuwu village and search the beach for your next clue."

Each team member must successfully paddle

their own traditional dugout canoe the 1km length of Leopard Bay.

They're literally just hollowed-out trees.

And let me tell you, they weigh an absolute tonne.

Let's go, let's do it. Come on.

We're pretty shot from the last leg.

Coming in last place is not fun.

OK. Ready? Let's canoe. Come on.

We just wanted to come into this leg and just redeem ourselves.

They're big bastards, aren't they?

Starting in first place is obviously another little win

for us today.

And we just need to not get too ahead of ourselves

and stay honest.

Argh!

Oh, my God. They're so heavy, babe.

Help me, please.

In the previous leg, we had finished second

within a matter of ten seconds.

So we were determined to make up that time

and come first today.

Try to get above the waves and then go left.

Today, it was all about running our own race

and not focusing on other teams and helping them out.

There's five teams left in this race.

The teams are dropping like flies.

We're just so happy to be here.

But it's gonna be tough.

Tim and Rod are our strongest competitors.

They're a really strong team. They're very close

and they've slowly been creeping up the pecking order.

Watch the waves, eh.

It can all change in an instant.

The people leading the pack can be at the end.

The poor guys at the end can jump to the front.

Like, you just don't know what's gonna happen.

If we fall out, what do we do?

You just have to bail back in.

A wind came up and we had to paddle out

as these waves in a lake started to appear.

We are not canoeing experts at all.

Like, I got in alright, and I was going pretty well,

but then I look over my shoulder

and Nick's like, completely capsized.

It's not floating.

Oh, you've got so much water in it.

Oh, no. Speed Bump.

A Speed Bump is an extra challenge for a team

who was lucky enough to escape elimination in a previous leg.

Speed Bump. "Empty the water out of the dugout canoes

"to complete the Speed Bump." OK, cool.

Emptying the water was quite challenging.

Joey, just...

At first, we tried to tip our canoe over,

but it was too heavy.

No, no, no, go on this side.

So we had to use buckets.

We have to empty both.

Tom and I had a really solid plan

that we were gonna go straight out

and get past the breakwater

and then try and cruise in with the current.

At least you got the wind.

We saw that a lot of the other teams couldn't get past the break

and they were struggling in the shallows.

Argh. Sorry, bro, sorry.

So, they're both empty now.

We are good to go.

It was a bit stressful knowing all the other teams

are already ahead of us.

Our strategy for the canoes today

was just for me to launch Viv out in to sea,

and then I'll just try and stay as close as possible.

Ugh! Ugh.

I lost my paddleboard.

The first time my canoe tipped over,

I lost my paddleboard.

If it's gonna happen to anyone,

it's gonna happen to Nick and Femi.

You have to help me lift it, I lost my paddleboard.

You lost your paddle? Yeah.

He's lost his paddle. He's lost his bottle.

How the *** did you lose your paddle, bro?

Where's your bucket?

Oh, it all... My thing capsized, bro.

I don't know how he's gonna get to the other side

if he doesn't have those things.

You guys sell paddle boards? Paddle boards.

Up there? There, there, there.

-Huh? -Just there where the wave is, down the front.

Boat capsized. It was just an absolute nightmare.

Tim! Tim!

I literally looked over my shoulder... It was me!

..and he was screaming at the top of his lungs, like, "Help!"

Screaming my name. Tim! Tim!

So we pulled the canoes back to shore,

poured all the water out.

Three, two, one. But the trick was,

you needed to stay as close to the shoreline as possible,

and you would miss a lot of the currents and a lot of the waves.

Stay in the shallows, I reckon.

Zhoom, zhoom, zhoom, zhoom.

Ugh, ***.

My canoe was an absolute disaster today.

Pretty sure I throw a few tantrums.

Urgh!

This bloody canoe

just keeps overflowing with water.

It's really, really hard.

I can't see Viv either, I've completely lost her.

Turns out, Viv's a lot better at canoeing than I am.

I was really focused on just not letting myself capsize.

I thought Joey would be OK.

Shit.

Come on.

Come on!

In those moments where I'm just so frustrated and I'm feeling defeated,

I just try to encourage myself. I can do this.

You can do this.

"You can do it, Jasmin" mantras out loud.

You can do this.

And Tom and Tyler were so far ahead of us, even though

they'd only left a few minutes before us.

They smashed it.

Flags are... We need to get a clue.

Detour.

A Detour is a choice between two tasks,

each with its own pros and cons.

In this Detour, teams must choose between dirty or smelly.

Now, the teams that choose 'dirty' must locate our three lovely ladies

here and come down to the washing station at the beach.

They must then wash 30 items of laundry to their satisfactory level.

Once laid out to dry, they'll receive the next clue.

While the women wash, the men fish.

And the daily catch is brought from the boats

up here the drying tables, and dehydrated in the hot, hot sun.

Now, our teams that choose 'smelly'

must carry a bucket of fish up to the drying tables

and sort into three separate species.

But the catch is they don't know how many species there are.

And to make things worse, all these fish look the bloody same.

OK, the fish is more us.

It depends how clean they're gonna say is clean.

Alright, guys, flip us up some fish.

We ended up going with smelly,

probably 'cause Tyler's smelly and... Correct.

This smells so nice. Keep going, Ty. You're doing great.

We can see that they are large and small fish in the tub.

So we decide to initially separate those two.

I think there's only two species.

They look the exact same.

You're telling me those dark ones of the same as that.

So, you kind of have to just tell from your own eyes

which ones were different. But they're pretty spiky.

Ugh! Yeah, it's cutting me.

Hands we're getting cut. Argh!

And trying to move them all in big packs was just not working.

Argh, they're so spikey.

I've got a bad feeling this could be three different species.

Tim, big strokes.

Here's the flag.

Tim and Rod are almost in.

They're pulling their canoes in now.

You've got to catch the wave in. Woo!

Come on!

OK, let's search the beach.

Yes! Detour.

"Dirty or smelly."

We read the clue and just thought, "Nah. Pfft."

We're definitely going to go with dirty.

I hate fish.

Washing is right up our alley,

but we thought, like, "How hard can this be?"

What are you doing to get them real soakey?

Grab the clothes, like, when it's, like,

especially if there's stains on it, grab it and put it together.

Hand washing in a lake must be a daily task for these people.

It was definitely a good workout.

You had to run out to the ocean to rinse,

wash them thoroughly, squeeze out all the soap,

and then run back the opposite direction... Yes!

..to lay your clothes out to dry.

And literally just lay them flat.

I do a truckload of washing back home

and it's usually in a machine, eh.

Definitely not like this.

I'm honestly going to get home

and just kiss and hug my washing machine for hours.

No, he's not.

Is this close enough? Yeah, I think that is close enough.

Go, come on, reel the thing in.

Grab the boat, grab the thing.

So many times throughout this race that it was just crazy

that we even made it to the tenth leg.

We're still in this, like, we're third place, let's keep going.

We're so proud of ourselves. Yeah.

Oh, yes. Let's go.

Detour.

"Dirty or smelly."

Let's just do dirty, it looks quite simple.

We've washed clothes before, so I'm like, "We can do that."

Yeah, we'll do 'dirty'. Let's go.

Look, we're nearly halfway through.

After we separated the two species,

we asked for check.

I'm saying no.

The species are still mixed up.

Those ones over there are orange.

These are all white.

We managed to figure out

that one fish had a little bit of an orange on the bottom side.

Dumb question, what are the... ..what are the flippers called?

Fins. It's not a fin.

Because that's not a shark fin. Dorsal? I don't know.

Is it a dorsal fin? It's a fin, isn't it?

What about... Do you reckon that's... Is that orange?

So then, we started sorting the orange fish

into a different pile as well.

There's a heap of oranges, bro.

Argh!

Need a few Band-Aids after this.

OK, ready? We're flipping it?

Trying to flip it? Yeah.

One, two...

It took such a toll, I didn't really realise until we got into it.

We're really working hard,

we're really being pushed to the point of exhaustion.

This is so hard!

We can do it though.

Yeah. We can do this.

Lean to the... right.

Right. Right. Your body... Ugh!

Argh!

I think the choppy waves and the winds today

really contributed to how challenging this actually became.

And it was just a disaster all around.

We divided the fish into three different types

and asked for another check.

Still more. Big no.

What? You're still mixing here and there.

Keep on checking, guys.

Do you reckon we chose the right day, Tim?

I just don't know.

Argh... ***

Shit.

Ugh... Ugh...

Wrong way.

Right, right, right. Ugh.

Argh.

Argh! F... Ho-ho.

Still more no. Keep on checking.

What?

It was definitely frustrating because we divided the fish

into three different types and asked for another check.

And again, it was wrong.

I just don't know.

They're all the *** same.

Whoa, this is... This one's gonna be tough one.

Usually, at home, you just press a button, it does the job for you.

But this one was a lot more physical. We had to manually scrub.

Oh, this is light work, bro!

Drain it. Wring it.

Wring it, and then, let's go.

Chuck it in some water again, make sure it's super clean.

I could wear this right now. Whoa, ho-ho.

Ah, let me put this on.

Then we had to show it to some lady

to make sure that she was happy with the job.

Yes. Yes, let's do it!

And then lay it out on the sand to dry.

Right, let's go. Come on. Keep going.

- Housewife in the making. - Yes.

Yes! Yes!

No?! What? I was gonna wear these and everything.

Tim's clothes did get approved first,

but in my defence, I got the white item of clothing

and they were, like, a pain in the butt.

That's a white shirt and it's got, like, stains all over it.

So I've got to be a little bit more thorough, I think.

As we pulled in,

we saw Tim and Rod and Nick and Femi just well into their Detour.

We're gonna do smelly.

We whose smelly because we do better when other teams aren't around us

and when we're not having to compete in the same Detour.

The smell was just absolutely rank.

It smells disgusting,

like...

I was gagging a couple of times. Argh! Breathe through your mouth.

I am.

Argh, I absolutely hate walking through fish markets,

let alone sticking my hands right in a pile of fish.

Are you sure you wanna do this then?

At this stage, we were last.

Argh. Oh, my God.

I finally reached shore

and I was just so relieved to finally get my feet on the sand.

Laundry? Laundry.

Yeah. Let's go. We're gonna do laundry.

Tom and Tyler are still over there,

which is giving us a little bit of hope

because they were heaps far in front on the row.

- Is that another orange? - That's an orange.

Well, the boys are still doing their washing.

So, if we get this done in the next five minutes.

I just don't know.

Alright, you do that pile, or what? And I do this, or?

Erm, yeah, OK. How should we do it?

We just knew we could just get in, wash those clothes and get out.

Ta... Ta... Ta... You do that.

You do it, I'm gonna run it.

At home, I usually do the washing,

but I've got help in terms of a washing machine.

So I have so much respect for the people of Malawi

who do it by hand.

When she said, "Oh, I've definitely got help," I was thinking,

"Oh, yeah, she's gonna say me," but obviously not.

You don't even sort the washing properly

and you just leave it on the floor.

It gets done though. By me.

Can you have a go at washing, my back's killing me. Yeah.

Ready to catch? Ready? Yep.

Boom. Light work!

We had a little system going around.

We'd wash, so I'll be sprinting back and forth.

I saw that Tim and Rod and Tom and Tyler,

they haven't progressed too much,

so I'm thinking, "OK, we're still in this."

No. Start again. Start again?

No?

We wanted that number one spot so bad.

Yes. Yes!

Oh, my God, thank you so much. Thank you so much!

Yes! Thank you, thank you.

Roadblock. Roadblock.

A Roadblock is a challenge

that only one member of the team can do.

I'll go. Yeah. You do it.

Malawi is the fourth poorest nation on Earth

and nothing goes to waste here.

Recycling has been taken to fashionable heights here

at Lizulu Markets.

One member from each team must make two pairs of sandals

from rubber tubing,

bits of leather and old car tyres,

to the satisfaction of the resident cobbler,

who can do this with his eyes shut.

I suggest our teams keep their eyes wide open

if they want to get their next clue.

This is ours! Yeah!

Boys have left.

We knew that we were really close to finishing the fish challenge.

We just had to get out of there quickly to be right on their tails.

Whoo! Wahoo!

OK, just got to keep this lead, eh. Yeah.

Can we get a check?

Yeah, guys, you did it, you did it very well. Congratulations.

Nice.

Those orange ones got us.

Congratulations. Thank you very much.

Thanks. Thank you, man. Sure.

"Who never tyres out?"

That'll be you. I'll do it.

I'll do it. Let's go.

No discussion?

Obviously there's different fish, but I guess it was...

..the question is, how many types of fish are there?

Is it two types? There's three.

Some have orange, some have white fins,

and obviously the small ones.

We were actually stoked that Viv and Joey didn't get eliminated

because we've had an alliance with them since leg one.

Legend. Thanks, guys. Good work.

Like, we are the weakest team physically,

so if we didn't have this alliance,

I reckon we would be targeted to be eliminated.

Yeah, what do you reckon, coming second behind...

Argh! Alright.

Urgh.

That burns all the cuts.

It does burn. Ugh.

I can't reach the table...

Yeah, the table's super hard.

..which is super annoying.

It was quite challenging for us

'cause we couldn't even reach the middle of the table.

It makes it so much harder to, like, move fish over.

Can we please get a check?

No, still mixed up.

Come on, Nick. Last one.

Yeah. Come on, let's go. Yes!

Yeah, congratulations.

Thank you. It felt great getting our next clue

because we know we made a little bit of ground.

Roadblock. Alrighty.

I'm gonna do that. That's me, yeah. You sure?

"Make a pair of sandal tops for you and your partner."

I made shoes once before in Germany,

but never ever made sandals.

And I was like, "OK, this is gonna be very interesting.

"I don't even know how to make sandals."

You made shoes in Germany? Remember what we did it?

When? We went to Germany, we went to the cheese farm

and they were doing the shoes.

We had to make shoes. Oh, we made clogs in Amsterdam.

Was it Amsterdam? Oh, right.

I've made a clogs in Amsterdam before.

And I'm like, "You know what? Might be a little something similar

"to that," so I'm like, "Maybe. We'll see how we go."

Let's go. Let's go.

There it is. "Lizulu Market."

Hello?

Yeah, I'm just trying to pay as much attention to detail as I can.

But how do I do it?

Oh, my goodness. I am so thankful

that this is Tim's Roadblock, not mine.

So, I had to make two pairs of sandals

out of different materials, including tyre parts.

The demonstration was quite in depth.

A lot of cutting, a lot of gluing, a lot of intricate parts

of these sandals.

These are a lot harder to deal with than they actually look.

Be strategic.

Show the cleaner side.

Yay, thank you. Whoo!

I feel like we still made up a bit of time. Yeah.

I knew we weren't out of the game.

Yeah! Congratulations! Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you.

Alright, let's do it.

Roadblock.

"Who never tyres out?"

I'll take I, babe. Yeah. You reckon?

At this point, we're pretty stressed.

Viv, it's alright, keep a cool head.

We were trying not to focus on the other teams,

but by the end, we realised every other team had left the beach

and we were the last ones there.

Can we get another check, please?

You did it. Congratulations.

Yes. Oh!

Here you go. Beautiful. Thank you so much.

"Who never tyres out?" Tyres, Joe.

Yeah, me, I'm going to do this one. Yep.

Getting there first is definitely an advantage.

You can focus on what you're doing.

Fingers crossed,

he gets a bit of a head start on everyone else.

I was feeling happy,

I was feeling confident,

and then in walks Tom and Tyler.

When Tom and Tyler got there, the pressure just increased so much.

***!

Oh, I think he's cut his finger.

Are you alright, Tim? I think so.

Oh, jeez, that's bad. That's bad.

So, we had to make two pairs of sandals

out of different materials, including tyre parts.

When Tom and Tyler got there, the pressure just increased so much.

***!

Oh, I think he's cut his finger.

Are you alright, Tim? I think so.

Oh, jeez, that's bad.

That's bad.

Might want to get that looked at.

I just don't want to ruin the shoes.

The cut's alright, but just the blood's getting in the way.

Perfect. Thank you.

You'll be alright.

You're doing so good, Tim.

He's in focus mode.

It's not easy on the hands after doing the old fish

and getting a million cuts.

Nick and Femi are here.

Where's the demonstration?

We came in third, so we're feeling quite good.

I'm thinking, "OK, we're still in this." Come on.

Get in there, babe. Go, go, go.

Over there? That way?

You had five teams in a small area

all looking at the one demo.

Everyone's kind of on top of each other

and it definitely makes it a bit hotter in the kitchen.

The critical part that I watched in making the sandals was the glue.

Learning from previous legs,

I know that the demonstration is extremely important.

So, for me, it was focusing on that demonstration,

seeing it from start to finish before I actually got stuck into it.

Seeing all the other teams there gave me hope.

Just trying to stay in this.

If there's another team and I know I can catch them,

it just motivates me to work even harder.

I reckon we're sitting still at the back of the pack

because we were the last ones to leave the beach,

but there's still plenty of time to catch up.

So, Ty's dad was a sandal maker.

Oh, was he? Yeah.

And his father before him. Oh, whoa.

So, Ty has actually made plenty of sandals.

Oh, has he actually? With his dad as well.

Oh, like, no joke? His dad's one of the best in Melbourne.

He bought every cent of it.

So, when we saw, like, the Tyre Challenge,

it said "sandals," we were like, "Oh, perfect."

"Wow, so, you guys have got the upper hand on this one!"

***!

Oh, I stuffed up.

And I felt the need to rush.

That left room for errors and more mistakes.

It's a bit hard to work with this glue.

Maybe I didn't get as good as glued on that little section.

How long does it take to dry?

If you applied the glue and left it for a little bit to set,

it would make it a lot easier to finish,

because the glue became a lot stickier.

Then, once that glue's dried, I can start cutting around it.

It's hammer time.

Argh! What are you laughing at?

Tim's checking his, Ty.

Alright. You got this, Tim. You got it.

Hello.

Oh, my God.

I thought it was nice and smooth, he said, "Nah.

"You've got to go round again. Make the edges smoother."

What, has he just said, to tidy it a bit more, did he, Tim? Yeah.

Look alright? The best thongs I've ever made.

This is massive. Can I have a check?

Hopefully they get through on the first check.

Looks like one's being pushed aside.

I think one pair have passed.

And the other pair needs a bit of work.

OK. Argh!

They're getting flustered, Joe. Are they?

Yeah, Tyler and Tim.

They keep getting knocked back, so just get it right.

Let's go. Alright.

Go, Joey!

Hello. How are you?

Yes! Yes. Here we go.

Well done, Joe. So proud of you. Thank you.

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

Alright, let's go. Well done, Joe.

Last of the Roadblock, first one to leave. It was such a great feeling. So good.

So proud of you, Joe. Thanks, Viv. Alright.

I was honestly shocked.

I couldn't believe Joey had pumped out

his two pairs of sandals that quick.

"Make your way on foot

"to the Nsapato section of the market

"and listen for a message for the Racers." OK, cool.

Let's go.

In markets across Malawi,

stallholders use megaphones to advertise their wares.

In this challenge, teams must locate and decipher their next clue,

which is being broadcast from a number of stores.

Come on, baby.

Oh, a bit nervous. Hopefully they get passed.

I reckon they're the best thongs ever produced.

What's the low-down?

Yes!

Bang. Nice work.

Yes. Thank you very much. Thank you.

"Nsapato." Let's go.

You got this, Tim, you got this.

You start questioning what you're doing,

if it's right, if it's wrong.

I was just getting in my own head.

"Jeez, I hope mine are up to scratch."

Oh, my... Oh, my... You did so good.

Yes!

Thank you so much. Thank you so much!

Let's go.

Said listen out for a clue, right? Yep. Yep.

It's chaotic. There's things happening left and right.

It's really hard to just hone in on a certain noise

or an announcement.

Doing a listening challenge in the noisiest place on Earth

is... very, very challenging. Tough.

Bit lost of what to do at the moment.

Shhh! Hang on. Listen, listen.

Listen, Tim.

"Amazing Racers..."

"Messages," what?

So, we got the first bit of the clue but we couldn't figure out

what the last bit was.

So, we thought it'd be a good idea to ask a local.

What does it say in African?

Can you tell me what this says?

"Amazing Racers, your next destination is..."

Harry's Bar.

Amazing Racers,

your next destination is Harry's Bar.

I can't understand what he's saying. What does it say?

Amazing Racers, your next destination is Harry's Bar.

Viv. Viv, Viv, Viv, Viv, Viv, stop.

We saw Tom and Tyler listening, so we just joined in.

"Harrow's Bar"? "Harrow's Bar" or something?

Act like... There's Tom and Tyler, act like we don't know.

We took off out of the market to try

and find a taxi as quick as we could,

and who de run into?

Tom and Tyler and Viv and Joey still looking for the clue.

Act like we don't know.

Well played. Disperse, disperse.

Let's go. Keep looking for it. Keep looking for it.

Disperse, disperse. So obvious.

Couldn't have done that anymore obvious.

We said, "Let's move away from the speaker.

We don't want Tim and Rod to catch in

that this is the location to listen.

Was any English in them? Nah.

Have you got it?

Nah. Have you got it?

We can't hear anything. Have you tried this side?

Just walked straight past them,

trying to act as confused as we could.

We tried that one, but there's...

We didn't listen to those, no.

We hightailed it out of there. We were like... Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Taxi! Taxi.

Let's get a taxi. Let's get to Harry's bar.

Babe, it's literally going to be between us and Femi and Nick.

You need a hustle.

It was so hard just sitting on the sideline watching Jerome.

I would have loved to help, even provide some feedback,

but we weren't even allowed to provide any feedback

other than encouragement.

We've got this, babe.

Just try them, eh. Let's just try. Alright.

A guy inspected them and...

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

Thankfully, he gave us the thumbs up.

Oh, yes.

Come on, Nick.

People are finishing, bro. Huh?

He's just not figuring it out, I don't think.

He's just trying to rush. He just wants to get it done quick.

Come on, Nick.

Don't worry about anybody else. Just get it right, bro.

Remember.

The pressure of the other teams got to me.

I started making mistakes.

We kind of knew that we were dead last.

It was very, very tough watching from the outside in.

That's it.

I don't get it.

It needs to be sealed and smooth.

***!

I don't think he's cracking under pressure.

I think he's not taking the time

to really, really look at what he's got to do.

It was very, very tough watching from the outside in.

Alright, can we have a try?

Good. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

We came in third and we left last. That was the worst feeling.

"Make your way on foot to the Nsapato section of the market

"and listen for a message for the racers."

Is there something on the PA?

We don't even know if we're in the right section.

Do you know where it is? Yeah.

Where? Oh, you don't know?

He doesn't know, ask someone else.

Trying to listen for a clue, amongst all the noise and crazy,

it was really hard.

Amazing Racers, your next destination is Harry's bar.

"Your next destination is Harry's bar."

Ask someone where we get a taxi.

Oh, it says Harry's bar on that. Yeah, right in here.

Just right here. Thank you, sir.

"It's time for a 2-Minute Quiz.

"Correctly answer as many questions as you can about your fellow racer.

"Be warned, every wrong answer will cost you precious time."

Harry's bar is a popular local hot spot in downtown Lilongwe.

Now, this will require each team to take part in a 2-Minute Quiz,

answering questions on their opposition.

Get a question wrong and they'll each incur a one-minute time penalty,

which they'll serve at the Pit Stop.

What have we got here?

Who needs deodorant the most?

We got this, bro. Got this.

We got this.

"Who was overtaken in the last 30 seconds

of the second leg of the race?"

"Which team was second to arrive to build play equipment in Zimbabwe?"

I actually don't know.

Turns out there was a question about a detour that we didn't even attend.

So this is obviously going to make things very hard for us.

"Who gave up the stilts for shrimp baskets in Vietnam?"

This is definitely a time where it's a disadvantage to be up the front of the pack.

Teams will only find out what their time penalty is

once they get to me at the Pit Stop.

Never has every second counted for more.

"Learn an African song in the Malawian language of Chichewa."

While here at Harry's, a place known for its music,

our teams must sing a traditional song, the Malawian way.

To be honest, I don't really like performing.

Tyler loves being the centre of attention, not so much me.

I'm introverted, cool, calm, in the corner.

That's a lie.

"Which team spent the most time in a taxi in the first leg?"

Alana and Niko.

Doing the actual quiz was really difficult under time pressure.

I just couldn't remember who did what.

"Who jumped the elevator queue in Namsan Tower?"

I know this one.

Tom and Tyler.

Oh, my God. I just stuffed that completely.

Amazing Racers, your next destination is Harry's Bar.

Harry's Bar. Let's just go there.

Pah, pah, pah.

I got frustrated at Viv because some of the words I thought were super easy

and she just wasn't getting them.

Bo-lah. Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah.

You kept chiming in being like, "It's this."

That's not going to help me remember things.

That's just going to stress me out more.

"It's time for a 2-Minute Quiz.

"Which team attempted a fast forward then gave up?"

Oh, that's us.

When we saw the clock ticking down,

the stress just went through the roof.

We'll be back, please wait.

I had no idea on how Jasmin was gonna go, but I was feeling good.

"Which team attempted a fast forward then gave up?"

Oh, Tim and Rod did that.

My memory generally is so shocking.

I can't even remember what I did last week

or what Jerome told me two hours ago.

That was...

So trying to remember events that had happened throughout the race

was pretty daunting.

When the big lights came on, we came out to play.

I actually surprised myself with how good we were, to be honest.

Yeah, I think we've got to go back later for an encore.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

"Make your way to Kumbali Lodge

"and search by the banana trees for Beau at your next Pit Stop."

Malawi's beauty and warmth of its people have attracted

many famous faces over the years, none more so than Madonna,

who stays right here at Kumbali Lodge,

which is the Pit Stop for the tenth leg of the Amazing Race Australia.

Taxi!

We stood out in the street with our thumbs out for a good 20 minutes.

We just had so many cars drive past us.

I just don't think they're going to stop for some while boys.

Well, what are we gonna do?

It was extremely frustrating knowing that a team could come out of this challenge

and potentially pass us.

Ah!

I totally forgot the words.

Singing is definitely not our forte.

OK, get off.

And then think of tomb poky.

So eat a tomb, someone's poking ya. Ready?

To help us remember, we used little word cues.

San-ga-roo-kaya. OK.

So almost wait at the end of 'san-ga.'

I was really nervous about this one.

Anything in the spotlight, we love! Yes!

I really hate being on a stage and performing,

but I just knew we had to get through it.

Whoo! Thank you!

I don't mind being on a stage or just performing in front of people.

Thank you so much.

Yeah? Yes?

Whoo!

We nailed it first go and we just had a ball.

Whoo! Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Ah, thank you so much!

By the time we did pass the test, we were fourth,

or second last in the pack.

Right there.

Oh, yes. Stop!

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

Quickly answer as many questions as you can about your fellow racers.

Well, let's really smash out this quiz and maybe by the time we get to the Pit Stop,

some teams might be serving the penalty.

Can you take us to Kumbali Lodge?

Yeah, I'm not sure what the penalty is gonna be

for getting the questions wrong, so we need to get there quick.

Taxi? Are you a taxi? OK.

Yes, are you ready? Thank you, sir.

We were so fortunate that we kept the taxi.

We need a taxi.

Taxi! Taxi!

We couldn't find any taxis anywhere.

Are you a taxi? Taxi? Taxi?

We were just flagging any car we could see.

Who's that? Tim and Rod.

They has actually left second or third

but they were just siting on the side of the road.

That's good news for us to be able to pull away from another team.

Taxi, taxi, taxi! Taxi!

Taxi, taxi, taxi! Taxi!

- Who's that? - Tim and Rod.

They haven't found a taxi yet.

We couldn't find any taxis anywhere.

The quiz was like no other trivia thing

I've ever done in my life.

Which team spent the most time in a taxi in the first leg?

Which team attempted to fast forward, then gave up?

How the hell are we supposed to know the answer to that?

I wasn't even there, man.

There were some really key moments

and some moments that I didn't really think were quite key.

We just gotta to... keep going, trust our intuition.

Oh, yes.

So Tom and I raced off quickly and we were stuck in a clown car.

The clown car wasn't holding up too well

with the big horses in the back

and we were scraping the bottom of the ground.

I think the exhaust flew off.

Oh, you're joking.

I reckon that's Tom and Tyler.

What?! what are the chances?

They must have taken a while to find a cabby, I reckon.

We just got super lucky with that one.

I don't think they know we're behind them,

so this is gonna be a really, really fun surprise for them.

Yeah, looks like Viv and Joey are behind us.

Oh, I think they see us.

So, it's going to be a sprint to the finish.

Is there room to overtake? I don't think there is.

Oh, he's going to try.

Can we please go a bit faster, Kelvin?

Oh, my gosh!

No! Aw.

Oh, Toms' face said it all.

He was not happy.

So we're in a race.

Can we get in front of them, please?

Just left them behind in the dust.

They're in second.

Still not sure what the penalties will be for getting questions wrong.

Hopefully we didn't get as many wrong as them.

Let's get on that mat first, we are so close.

Keep going, right to the sign. All the way up.

Go to that sign there. Yeah, stop the car. Go, Viv, go.

Go, run, run, run, run. Go, Viv!

Welcome to Lilongwe, Malawi.

Thank you so much.

Viv, Joey, you are the first team to arrive.

Oh, yes! Well done, Viv.

However... Here we go.

..Viv, you got nine questions wrong in the quiz.

Joey, you got four questions wrong in the quiz.

Oh, I did real bad, sorry.

You will incur a 13-minute penalty.

OK. Side of the mat, please.

That was a hefty penalty to take,

especially because Tom and Tyler were right behind us.

Welcome to Lilongwe, Malawi.

We thank you. You are the second team to arrive.

However, Tom, you got three questions wrong in the quiz.

Tyler, you got five questions wrong in the quiz.

No big issue, whatever. Doesn't matter.

I mean, I'm just... I'm smarter than you. It's whatever.

So you will both incur an eight-minute penalty.

We were unsure with the teams coming behind us

how they did on the test and how far away they were.

Jasmine, Jerome, you are...

..the third team to arrive.

Well done, my love. Good work, babe.

Well done. However...

..Jaz...

Yes.

..three questions wrong in the quiz. OK.

Jerome, three questions wrong in the quiz.

So, you will incur a six-minute penalty.

Ooh. OK.

Please wait here with the teams.

We were extremely close to Tom and Tyler.

It's gonna come down to the minutes.

We fully went into it.

It was just a good vibe 'cause, honestly, the song was beautiful.

Hopefully we make up some ground as well.

"Search for Beau, your next Pit Stop.

"Hurry, the last team to check in may be eliminated."

Let's go. Let's go.

Sitting, waiting at the Pit Stop,

those minutes felt like forever.

In my head, I'm thinking,

like, we could actually beat Tom and Tyler, like, seriously.

Right, time's up for one of you.

And that team is...

..Tom and Tyler, please return to the mat.

Alright, boys, your penalty's been served.

You are the first team to check in.

Yes! Good, boy.

Well done, boys. Well done, boys.

At the end of the day, you have one slip up,

you can finish last and you're eliminated,

so it's all about the last leg,

and we'll just keep doing what we're doing, hopefully.

Are you a taxi? Taxi!

We're standing on the side of the road

and we don't have a taxi at this point.

Taxi!

Is that one there? Taxi!

Let's go, Femi, come on. Come on.

Taxi!

So we ran onto the street, just yelling for a taxi

and some guy pulled over super quick.

We didn't know how long ago team just left from that place

so it's just... it could really go either way.

Let's just take a big, deep breath. Yeah.

Just hope when we get there, there's no outrageous time penalties.

We literally got that singing challenge done in a minute

so I'm feeling quite good,

and especially with the penalty, we're still in this.

Our heads just went to the worst-case scenario,

we thought, "Nah, this is it.

"We've chewed up so much valuable time."

We'll be alright. Yeah.

We're all given time penalties based on quiz answers that we got wrong.

We know Viv and Joe didn't do so well,

so they had quite a long penalty.

OK, the next team to have served their time is...

..Jaz and Jerome.

Back on the mat, please.

Your penalty has been served. You are the second team to check in.

Oh, goodness. Good work, my darling.

Today we thought we were gone

so, I'm not going to lie, we honestly though we were last,

and to be here at second place is awesome.

Well, you're still in it. Go get some sleep. Bring it in.

Aw, thanks, my man. That was bloody hard.

Ugh, it was so close

but we were just happy to still be here.

Viv and Joey, your penalty's been served.

You are the third team to check in.

Oh, give me a hug, Viv. No more high fives, OK?

Not after we've gotten this far.

If it wasn't for that silly quiz, we were first on the mat,

so we would have actually finished in first place.

It's still satisfying that we got to the mat first, though.

Bring it. You know I love you guys. Thank you.

Thanks, man. Thank you.

Thank you so much. See you next time.

How far? how far?

Yeah, it's maybe...

Two minutes?

No, one and a half kilometres.

We'll be alright. Yeah.

Just keep your head in the game. It's not over yet.

I'm feeling quite good and especially with the penalty.

We're still in this, like I haven't lost all hope.

Go, mate! Let's pray we're not last.

We got it, we got it, we got it.

Welcome to Lilongwe, Malawi.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Tim and Rod...

Yeah. ..you are...

- ..the fourth team to arrive. - Yes!

Yes!

However...

..Tim, you got seven questions wrong in the quiz.

Rod, you got two questions wrong.

SO you will both incur a nine-minute penalty.

Side of the mat.

And now we play the anxiety game.

The seconds were just ticking by so slow, it was intense.

Hopefully we didn't get too many questions wrong

and we're able to stay in the race.

That's honestly what we're paying for right now.

Left, left, left.

No, stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop.

Thank you. Thank you.

Tim and Rod, please return to the mat.

Boys, you've served your penalty.

You are the fourth team to check in.

Yes!

Ah, that was the longest nine minutes of my life!

That was the longest nine minutes we've ever experienced.

We're so happy it's over. Thank you so much, Beau.

Yeah.

The biggest sigh of relief.

That would probably be one of the closest we've come

to being eliminated in this race so far.

Welcome to Lilongwe, Malawi.

Thank you.

Femi, Nick, you are...

..last team to check in

and you're eliminated.

The race is over.

Devastated. It sucks, man, but...

What can you really do?

We can only be grateful for what we've had so far,

and it's been an amazing experience.

We really did think that we could go all the way

and I was convinced that we were going to,

but one mistake today just done it for us.

It brought you boys closer.

Oh, for sure, man.

This is another one to add to the list of memories.

Let's do it!

We're going to leave this race with a massive smile on our face.

I'm just grateful for the experience.

Whoa! Massively proud of Nick.

I think he showed himself as someone who's super resilient and strong.

I'm super proud of Femi, like, I just feel like...

I'll have to think of some bullshit.

I'm joking!

That's why we're out. That's why we're out.

Alright, bring it in, boys.

You know I've got a lot of love for you. This one's tough.

Alright, you did each other proud, yourselves proud,

and I'll see you on the other side, huh?

Alright, man.

Next time on The Amazing Race Australia...

"Fly to Bangkok, Thailand." Oh, my God!

Yes!

..it's down to the final four... Ugh...

Go, go, go! We've literally got a one in four chance of winning 250K.

Alright, let's go, let's go, let's go.

The prize is in sight, the gloves are going to come off.

Get it down.

Going to have to tone down pleasure and dial up business.

Argh!

..and go the to epic legs

spanning three continents...

All the teams have got to do now is come and find me,

here on home soil in Northern Territory.

Who will be first to the finish line?

There he is!

That was just do or die now. Yeah.

The suspense is killing me, huh?

Yeah.
