Original subtitles

Just 23 days ago, 11 teams started an epic global adventure

in the South Korean capital of Seoul.

Go!

Yes! She got it!

Whoo!

Yeah!

They were seduced by the Hang Mua mountains of Vietnam...

Try and keep it steady, baby.

Yes! Good boy!

..and wowed by the nomadic Mongolian desert.

Oh, no! Look out! Oh, Jesus!

They then crossed to the wild extremes of Africa...

Viv, we're so close. No.

You can. You can. You can.

Go!

..and were charmed by Thailand.

Yes. Thank you.

You're the first team.

Now...

..we have three remaining teams...

Push, Viv. Push. We're home, baby! This is ours!

Let's go! Let's go!

..and all they've gotta do is come and find me...

Whoo!

..here on home soil, in Northern Territory.

But who will be first to the finish line...

This is a 250K puzzle.

This was the moment of truth.

Yeah!

We're not gonna give up without a fight.

..in the Amazing Race Australia?

We're in Thailand's hectic capital, Bangkok...

..a city full of quirks and contrasts.

And it's from here that we're about to leave

for the final leg of the Amazing Race Australia.

Departing in the order they arrived at the last pit stop,

only three teams now remain.

Fly to the Northern Territory of Australia.

Northern Territory! Top End.

Last leg.

Fly to the Northern Territory!

Well, where else are we gonna finish the greatest race on earth

than back home in Australia?

We're heading to the Northern Territory.

A breathtaking mix of natural beauty, ancient cultures and frontier charm,

Darwin is known as the gateway to the Top End.

And for our teams, it's the last leg of their grand adventure.

Fly to the Northern Territory, Australia's Top End. Whoo-hoo!

Babe, we're going home. Oh, my God.

Let's go.

Can you take us to the airport?

Yeah? Thank you.

This has been the most amazing adventure I've ever been a part of.

And the fact we've been able to do it together, like, side by side,

hand in hand, I'll take these memories to the grave.

I didn't think it was possible to fall in love with Tim any more,

but with every leg of this race, I feel closer to him.

Can you believe we're in the finale, the final three?

I'm so proud of us.

Never, in our wildest dreams,

would we ever think that we'd be here.

Top three, The Amazing Race.

Northern Territory, you beauty. I've always wanted to go.

A bit nerve-racking, though, 'cause we know that's

Jasmin and Jerome's home town. Yeah.

So that gives them a bit of an advantage.

But we're all really strong teams.

We all have our own strengths and weaknesses.

Coming into this race, it was just not to get eliminated first.

Take it one leg at a time, and here we are -

11 legs later, we're in finale.

At the end of this leg, one of us three is gonna walk away with 250K.

Like, that's crazy.

Let's just get out there today, Viv, and just smash it.

Like, let's just prove to our family, our friends,

that we could actually do this, you know?

Bring it on. Like, super-excited for today.

Oh, babe, this is our leg. This is our leg.

This is, babe. Oh!

It's like we'd come full circle.

Like, we started the race in Korea, all around the world,

and to end back in the Northern Territory, perfect.

You and I, between us, have been everywhere through the Territory,

so this has to be an advantage for us, babe.

Yeah.

For our mob, our families, for them to see us make the final three,

and to be able to race in the NT, is just I think amazing for me.

Thank you.

How we feeling, guys? Yeah, good. How are you?

Good. Have you guys been there before?

No. Jasmin and Jerome's home town.

Hopefully, they don't know it too well.

Come on, Tom and Tyler, why didn't you beat them?

We figure with, like, even with Jasmin and Jerome being from Darwin,

it's the challenges and that that you've just got to slay anyway.

Like, they might know their way around,

but you've just gotta make sure you get out of there first, eh?!

Thank you. Thank you.

Let's go, babe.

We got Darwin! What an advantage!

Hate you guys.

Well, good luck. Good luck, yes!

Good luck, mate. Good luck.

For the final time, all the teams are now on the same flight

across the globe to tropical Darwin.

At least this time, they won't need a visa.

Thank you.

Jasmin.

Search the Darwin waterfront for Northern Territory News front pages.

Then separate the race headlines... ..from published headlines

to receive your next clue from the NT News editor.

Let's go.

A local Darwin institution,

the NT News is famous for its sensational eye-grabbing headlines.

And for this next challenge, they've cooked up some classics.

Hidden in and around the iconic waterfront are stacks of newspapers.

To move on, the teams have got to sort through them

to find the eight headlines written about the race.

Get it right and they'll receive their next clue

from the editor himself.

I guess it must have been a slow news day.

Let's go, sir, please. We're in a race.

We're in a race. We need to go. Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Go, sir, to the waterfront please.

Alright. Thanks, sir.

Wow, babe. We're here in Darwin. It's started.

The NT News, you know, it's a bit of an icon in the Territory.

You can always spot a crocodile on the front page, or...

A UFO.

It will be funny to see what headlines are going to pop up

in the stack of newspapers.

Yeah. So, something race-related, eh, babe?

Race-related. Alright.

Can we take this left here, sir, and go the back way?

Turn left here, please, sir.

We haven't read any newspapers in weeks,

so hopefully there's some big headlines.

It sounds like we're gonna be a part of some of them.

Looks like this one is just attention to detail. Yeah.

We should be able to get through this pretty quickly. Yeah.

We're so pumped. We wanna win so bad.

This way, Jasmin. This way. Jasmin. Wait. Uh...

This is the way you wanted to come. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

When we arrived at the waterfront,

we had to find eight different headlines that related to the race.

There have got to be more.

You wait. You wait. Yes, sir.

Let's go, let's go. This way, though the back. OK, let's go.

Can you see any here?

Yeah, "Basket cases jump the queue."

Quick, quick, quick. We've gotta get on that lift.

Can we go in front? Thank you. Thank you.

Just jump in. Jump in.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

They snuck ahead there. They snuck ahead.

Yeah.

Some of the headlines we recognised straightaway was,

"Birthday girl vomits."

Chuck it out.

The alien alliance forms in the desert.

We knew that there would be race headlines

mixed in with classic NT News, which we felt was a bit of an advantage

because we thought we'd be able to separate the two.

We've only found four, babe, headlines.

Yeah. There's gotta be more around here.

The Northern Territory News.

Right from the start, everyone was running around like crazy.

It was out of control.

The dumpling thief. That was Sid and Ash.

Remember how they stole the nurse's dumplings?

I'm going to hell after this.

"Big voice serenades..." That's our first.

Yeah, that's it - wrestling.

I think the adrenaline went to our head.

We sort of weren't thinking clearly.

We weren't communicating in the best way.

Hey, come on.

It was just chaos. It was mayhem.

Get in there, babe. Just grab some.

They're all the same.

Then grab all the other ones we have.

Yeah.

We need to find one more.

Viv and I have learned a lot about each other over the past 11 legs.

I think we've grown a lot as people,

and I think the key for us today is communication.

Wait, Viv. Is that a rack right there?

Where?

No, is that... I don't wanna swim out there

if it's not it because I'm *** tired.

I can't... I can't tell.

I can't tell if that's just a ladder.

That could be a ladder. Nah.

Oh, babe, babe, babe.

On the top of the... Oh, my God. OK, you gonna do it?

Yeah. Do not let them see you.

When I noticed that there was a newspaper stand at the top of this

inflatable thing out in the middle of the lagoon...

Babe, they're looking.

..I'm going in.

Let's go. Dive in quickly before they're not looking.

Just jump in.

Fast.

Oh, Tim. What?

On top of that thing. Where?

Where? On top of the...

Shh, shh. Jerome's already out there.

Is he? Yeah.

I'm gonna go. Go.

I literally felt like Aquaman speeding through that water.

I was like, "This is $250,000.

"Like, I need to get to the top of this thing as fast as I can."

You can catch him!

You're hotter than Aquaman. Oh!

Jerome wouldn't have known what was coming behind him.

We're home, baby! This is ours!

You got it, Tim! You got it! You got it!

Oh, go, babe!

Make sure you get the right one!

Have you got it? Have you got it?

Yes!

I actually didn't realise that you'd fallen like that

and that you were winded.

And here I am, on the shore, yelling out...

Come on, swim it out! Swim! Swim!

I was dying as you were screaming at me.

I was like, "I just can't."

Jump off like he did!

Just jump!

Oh, shit!

Catch him, Tim! You're a strong swimmer!

We're home, baby! Come on, bring it home.

You've got this. It's OK.

I think you need to go down there. I can help you up.

Right. Here you go. Get my shoes back on.

I reckon we need to get all of them from...

That's it. That's it.

Pass, pass, pass, pass. You got this. Come on.

Go, Joey!

We'd been the first team to notice the new stands on the inflatable

and ended up being the last team to get all the papers.

I think at this point, we're just stressed.

Silly mistakes are so easy to make.

There were certain headlines

that we weren't sure if they were race-related or not

so we're just going back on forth

on whether or not they were the right ones.

Joey, let's try the non-race-related ones.

"Fool speed ahead. Amazing footage of idiot surfing his boat."

Sid.

Oh, 'cause he sped... Yeah.

That was... Mikayla.

We've come into this final leg saying we're gonna stay level-headed.

We're just not gonna freak out.

"Fool speed ahead."

No.

Oh, my God!

After getting knocked back, panic sets in.

That's definitely in.

We knew the majority of the headlines were correct,

there was just one or two that were getting the thumbs-down

from the publisher.

One of them's wrong.

We really had to just focus and read all the different headlines

and some of them were quite cryptic and witty.

So we really had to think about which of the headlines

related to the race.

Come on, babe, go. Just go up. Bugger it.

Done it.

Congratulations. Thank you so much.

Once we finally figured it out,

it was such a relief to get that clue

and to be able to get out of there before the other two teams.

Here we go.

Fly to Katherine, Northern Territory.

300 kilometres inland from Darwin

is the outback town of Katherine,

just a short plane-hop for our teams,

only this time, they won't be landing.

If they wanna receive their next clue,

they'll have to drop in from 10,000 feet.

Let's hope none of them are afraid of heights.

"When you get there, jump out of a plane!"

Going skydiving was literally my...

..worst, like, nightmare.

They're gonna be a long time.

I would never want to jump out of a perfectly working plane.

I'm so scared.

When we saw Jasmin and Jerome get the thumbs-up...

Done it.

..it was heartbreaking.

We wanna win this thing so bad and to see a team run off,

you just think, "Nup, that's it."

Anything else that doesn't look right?

We could see the $250,000 slipping away.

Maybe we try it without "Fool speed ahead."

OK, let's do that.

As soon as we got rid of that...

Congratulations. Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you. Go, go, go.

"Then jump out of the plane. Your next clue is waiting on the ground."

Let's go, let's go!

They've got, what, 10 minutes? Yep.

This race has shocked me. I never thought I was so competitive.

We are not gonna give up without a fight.

Please be here. Yes!

Let's get rid of the ones we know definitely aren't it. OK?

That's definitely not it.

There were certain headlines that we weren't sure

if they were race-related or not?

So we've just been second-guessing ourselves

on whether or not they were the right ones.

It was just a matter of trial and error.

We just had to talk it out.

"Slippery suckers..." Well done.

Thank you so much. Cheers. Alright, cool.

"Fly to Katherine, NT, your next clue is waiting on the ground."

Taxi, taxi, taxi.

Even though we're coming last,

we were still confident that we could catch up.

It would have been good to leave first. But you know what?

We've done it before where we've left last

and we've come in first place.

So let's just hope that today, we'll play all our cards right.

Joey and Viv are petrified of heights.

Oh, really? So... This is good.

Yeah.

And hopefully, Jasmin and Jerome struggle a bit.

Well, Jasmin said it would be her worst nightmare.

Yeah. So, I hope, like, fear cripples her.

Mate, we've got this.

- Hello. - Hi.

Oh...

How are you feeling? This is my first skydive.

Remember I said to you, like, you couldn't pay me

to jump out of a plane, and here I am.

Here it is. Yes, yes, yes.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Oh, my God.

I'm just freaking out inside.

I'm praying.

I'm actually starting to feel a bit queasy.

Just even thinking about jumping out of a plane.

Here we go.

I'm super scared but in a race like this,

I'm at the pointy end where I'll do anything.

We have to do this and we have to slay it.

Yeeeee! Hee-hee-hee!

Yes!

The hardest part was the long flight there and the waiting,

the anticipation, I could see was starting to really eat at her.

But once you're up there, you're doing it.

The only way out is by jumping out that door.

And then they open that door...

Ooh!

..and I felt like my heart could have just stopped.

Good? Yeah. Let's do it.

Love you, my darling.

Because I was first out, I didn't know what was gonna happen

so I let her instructor know that he may have to kick her out the door,

if worst comes to worst.

And then I see Jerome...

Oh, my God.

Whoo-hoo-hoo! Oh, my God!

Next minute, I'm being dragged along by my instructor.

Oh, my God!

And he's telling me to put my feet out... side of the plane,

which is such an unnatural thing to do.

I just knew that it was the final three...

OK, time. ..and I just had to do it.

Oh, my God!

Whoo!

Let's go, babe.

Get down here, let's get going.

Come on.

Oh, that was a soft landing there.

Thank God that's over.

I'm pretty proud of myself.

But I'll never do it again.

Oh, my God, babe, how amazing was that?

That was... Well done.

I know how nervous you are.

Hello. Well done, team.

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

Strip and read.

Oh, Road Block. Oh, it's a Road Block.

Oh!

A Road Block is a challenge

that only one team member can perform.

Working animals are an important part of the team,

up here in the Northern Territory.

Without their help,

many of the vital daily tasks simply wouldn't be possible.

So, for this Road Block,

teams will need to master the basics of animal training.

First up, they'll coax a cattle dog around a course

before taking on the dangerous challenge of taming a wild horse.

All they've gotta do is get close enough to touch it.

Once they've completed both those tasks,

Tommy here will give them their next clue.

I'm gonna take this one, babe. Yep.

Let's go. Oh, let's go.

Uh, gonna pay with the Bankwest Halo ring.

So stoked to be skydiving in the final.

- Thanks so much. - Thanks, mate.

Definitely feeling the pressure at this point

because Tim and Rod and Jerome and Jasmin had a lead on us.

Whoo.

I wouldn't say that I was nervous at all.

I was just super happy to finally go skydiving.

It's been a bucket list item

so getting into the plane, all harnessed up,

it was really, really exciting.

I can't wait.

- Oh, my God! - You got it, Tim, you got it!

Oh, my God!

As soon as that door opened, it is so windy, so loud.

So the guy was like, "Pop your legs out, put 'em over this thing!"

"Grab you chest."

And the wind's blowing in your face, it's like...

Whoo! Yeah.

And you just had to like...

Oh, my God!

And stand up.

That's it!

Thanks so much. See ya.

Hello. How was that?

Great! Amazing!

"Who's ready to run circles around this Road Block?"

Me. Yep. Yep. I'll do it.

What does it say?

"Make your way onto the paved road and turn left."

There it is.

We're in the plane, and once the wind started picking up,

it was super-turbulent.

It's such a small plane, we were rocking and rolling the whole time.

It was making me quite motion-sick.

It did not feel safe.

OK, you ready to go?

Here we go.

Let's do it.

We hit 10,000 feet

but then, unfortunately, the pilot, they had to ground us

because it was too windy

and it would affect the parachutes and you're gonna go down.

It sucks!

Don't get to jump.

Just our luck.

If we had just been a little bit quicker at the newspaper challenge,

we could have been the first or second team to jump

and we wouldn't have missed out.

Despite the fact Viv and Joey can't skydive,

all the teams have maintained their time difference and position.

So, no penalty for Viv and Joey. It's play on.

Sorry, guys. Saftey first.

Thank you. No dramas. Cool. Thank you so much. Cheers.

Road Block.

Right.

"Try your hand at life on an Aussie cattle station."

I'll do it. OK. Let's go.

- There it is. - Yeah.

Large covered arena.

Katherine Outback Experience

is this huge property.

They've got horses, they've got heaps of dogs.

It's something that I'm so not comfortable with.

Not that I'm anti-animals.

I just don't like... touching them and doing stuff with them.

Training working animals is no easy task.

It requires patience and nerves of steel.

These dogs are being taught simple directions

using the country's high-tech training tool -

the stick and the bag.

To receive their next clue, the teams have got to choose one

and guide it around the figure-of-eight course,

finishing up on top of the barrel.

But beware - pick wisely,

as the wrong dog can make or break your hopes of a quick exit.

OK, who wants to come with me? Who?

Fluffy, babe? Fluffy look good?

You choose. Just be quick.

My strategy with the dogs was to go with an older dog

that was probably a bit better trained,

wasn't like a puppy, just running amok.

Let's go, Sarge.

You're gonna be my lucky dog today.

- So, around one drum... Around the other drum. - Then around...

Yep. Ready? Go.

Ready? Go. Come on. Come on.

OK, go. Ready?

Sarge?

Go. One... Sarge, yep.

Sarge? Oh, my God. Sarge.

Sarge?

You're not meant to do that.

Sarge?

Come on, Sarge. Come on.

Watching on the sidelines was excruciating.

It was so hard.

I was like, "Oh, we're in for a long one here, on this Road Block."

This is so hard!

Sarge, come on. You're killin' me.

Come on, babe.

Excuse me, do you know where Katherine Outback Experience is?

Yeah.

See where that big, open shed is? Yeah. OK.

Turn left. Yeah.

Here it is. Hold up.

You got this, mate. You got this.

When I first walked into the dog arena,

there was just so many dogs.

Blue? Blue, come here!

Can I choose a different one?

I just thought I would go for the adult dogs

'cause they'd be well trained.

Hello! Oh, kisses?

Oh, hello!

Come on. A dog named Fluffy has to be the best dog ever.

You can do this, mate.

Take him off the lead...

Ready?

..it's my time to perform.

Fluffy, back, back.

Come on, this way. Quick, quick, quick, quick.

That's it. Up. Come here, Fluffy.

Fluffy! Fluffy! Fluffy, come! Fluffy!

She runs away from me multiple times.

It was the worst feeling ever.

Come on! Fluffy, come on, come on, come on!

Come on.

Sarge, this way. Sarge?

It was so frustrating.

Sarge, here.

This dog just had a mind of its own and just wanted to do its own thing.

I'm gonna swap my dog.

OK. Who wants to come with me? Who?

Elsa...

Let's go, Elsa. Come on!

Yeah! Elsa!

- Up there. - Up there?

We arrive at this cattle station

and immediately, I spot Jasmin and Rod

still trying to complete the Road Blcok.

I pick Teddy.

Seems like a cute little dog.

Let's go, Teddy.

Go, Joey!

Yeah, Teddy! Get it, boy!

Yep.

Teddy was actually super-good.

I'm thinking, "Yes! Time for us to catch up."

Yep! Get him on the drum.

Come on, Teddy!

There we go.

Done? Yep. Done.

Whoo!

Yes, Teddy! Go, Joey! Well done!

After my first attempt, I got it.

Whoo! Yeah, Teddy!

It was a great feeling 'cause I just immediately overtook the other teams.

After that part of the Road Block,

I had to go and try and tame a wild horse.

So, the main thing is you've got to try and pat the horse

either on the face or on the neck of the horse.

And if he chases me, I'll just run the other way.

I'm a bit nervous. It's a pretty big horse.

But we were the last to get here

and the first to finish the dog training.

If it wants to run away, then you just chase it away.

I can't chase after the horse. My God, look at it.

It's hard to gain trust,

so it's more so trying to tire them out,

get them to look at you

and then just slowly approach them and try to make them feel comfortable.

The horse keeps resisting.

I think the main thing was just to remain calm

and just move towards the horse really slowly.

Very good, mate.

- Is that it? Thank you. - Well done, Joe.

Awesome. Well done.

Thanks, Tom. Cheers. Thanks for your time.

Take a helicopter

into Nitmiluk Gorge.

The Nitmiluk Gorge is a breath-taking sandstone canyon

shaped by the Katherine River over millions of years.

And it's here that the teams face their final challenge -

to assemble a puzzle

that references the six different countries they've visited.

Just to make things a little trickier,

we've hidden some of the pieces down along the riverbank,

and the only way to retrive them

is by kayak.

Once they bring them back here

and assemble the puzzle in country order,

then - and only then -

will they receive their final clue.

Let's go.

Yeah, let's keep goin'. Push, Viv. Push.

We've been behind all day

but we're outta there first.

It's amazing. Like, we're actually at the front of this race.

Just maybe we could win the 250K.

Push, Viv. Push.

There was dogs everywhere.

They were cute as.

And, so, we had to go in,

and we had to teach these dogs, off a lead,

how to go around these barrels.

I was just like, "Well, that doesn't seem too hard.

"We have a dog. I think I'll be really good at this."

Come here. Fluffy, Fluffy! Fluffy! Fluffy, come! Fluffy!

And he runs away from me multiple times.

Fluffy! Fluffy, Fluffy! Hey!

Oh, my God...

Viv and Joey are the first ones with their clue,

so to see Rod struggling with Fluffy...

Back, back.

..I felt so bad for him.

Fluffy, come on!

Fluffy! Come on, babe.

You can't just rely on yourself in this Road Block.

OK, Elsa, sit, sit!

I had to do it in partnership with a dog.

Elsa, sit!

Sit!

And I kept going with the older dogs

and that's where it just all went... bad.

Elsa, up, come on!

Please...

Part of me inside was dying

'cause I just know how crucial it is

to just get in and out as quickly as we could in this final three.

Elsa, up! Elsa!

Should I just swap it out, Tim?

Can you swap it out for Teddy? Yeah.

Seeing Joey slay it with the little puppy,

I was like, "I'm jumpin' on that bandwagon."

Yes.

Oh, you ready to play?

He was so full of life.

Come on, come on! This way! This way! This way!

He was like a super-dog.

He was running around the barrels.

This way! Oi, come on! Dancin' round with Rod.

It was just so cute.

Up, up, up! Up, up, up! Come on!

Yes!

Good job, mate. Slay this next thing. I know you can.

Oh, this animal's magnificent.

This horse was wild.

It was running around so fast.

And the instructor just said, "It can feel your energy."

Try going the other way?

I'll just leave it on the ground now.

So, I was like, "I'm just gonna take a big breath here.

"I went over to it really slowly."

Hey... Hey.

Hello. Hey, gorgeous.

I had no idea Rod was a horse-whisperer.

It was the most magical thing I've ever seen.

You're so beautiful.

He was giving me Bindi Irwin vibes, to be honest.

Not gonna hurt you.

The horse seems to love him.

Hey... Come on...

Hey.

Hey...

Yep. Yeah?

So proud of him.

There you go, big fella.

Thank you so much, mate. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

"Take a helicopter into Nitmiluk Gorge."

OK, let's go!

Alright, here we go.

Let's rock'n'roll.

Viv and I have learnt a lot about each other

coming into this final round.

And just that never-give-up attitude

has definitely gotten us far, and to this finale.

And we're that close to winning now that we can just taste it.

Far out.

You know, we've come into the Road Block in first place

and we were now third.

Sit! Elsa, sit! Elsa!

So I thought I may as well give Teddy a go

because he's already completed the course twice

and he didn't fail.

Come on. Ah! Let's go, babe.

Teddy. Come on, Teddy. Let's go!

Oh, I thought the puppy was gonna be the naughtiest one.

Ah! Oh, my God.

Last one, last one.

OK. Yes, go back. Get him up there.

Go!

Yep!

Come on, babe. You can do this.

When they brought the horse in, it was making these grunting noises.

It seemed a little bit aggressive.

It seemed like a particularly wild horse.

When a horse can sense your nerves,

they're not going to come and trust you.

So I went in totally faking it.

Inside, I was so scared.

I'm hoping that her calm nature and demeanour

will gain the trust of the horse.

But I really don't know.

Well done, well done.

It was amazing.

I was so proud of her,

knowing that she was giving her all in this final race.

Oh, thank you so much. Thank you. No worries.

Thanks, horsey.

"Take a helicopter into Nitmiluk Gorge.

"Search the landing area for your next clue."

Oh, let's go. Let's get out of here!

Whoa, this is gonna be sick. I've never been in one of these before.

Oh!

Yeah!

The Amazing Race is hard. There were days where I felt like giving up.

There was days that Tim felt like giving up.

And we've had to be there for each other like crazy.

This is amazing, eh?

- Busy day, eh? - Yeah.

Almost done!

We really think that we can finish this race on top.

We're doing this race for our son.

We want to make our families proud, our mob proud.

And we're doing this for each other as well.

Thanks, mate.

As soon as we got out of the helicopter, we ran to find kayaks.

Watch that, Viv.

Go right, left. Left.

We got in the kayaks

and started searching for our seven puzzle pieces.

Your oars are around the wrong way. So spin it. There you go, yep.

Look over here first. This one?

Knowing that the other teams are still quite behind,

we were feeling really confident

that we could maybe actually take this out.

Grab the bag.

We just knew that this is our time to shine. Let's just do this.

You see straight ahead, that little opening there?

You need to say left or right. You're at the back.

Yeah, on your left.

This was Australia in its true form. Huge, big, red rock walls.

We'd even asked our pilot on the way in, "Is there crocs?"

And he's like, "Yeah, there's a heap of crocs in here."

And then we go jump in a kayak.

We try to take it in.

We wanted to get those puzzle pieces as quickly as we could.

There's one, straight ahead.

That's Thailand. We got Thailand.

We're about to land. We're about to race.

We've got some ground to make up. Let's do it.

Here we go.

So we hop in the kayak

and we're just paddling through the gorge.

And we're kind of wasting a bit of time trying to find the seven pieces.

I can see some on the shore over there, babe.

At this point, we have not seen Viv and Joey.

We know that they've landed, we know that they're in the water.

Go. Get out, get out, get out.

Put it in that bag.

Like, we were actually quite concerned about them,

because we didn't know where they were.

Go left.

It is so hot, seriously, under the sun.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry!

So much time has passed and we are making no progress.

No, if you...

It was really difficult for us to spot our puzzle pieces.

A lot of the time we'd see things that looked like the piece

and then miss the actual pieces completely.

Just keep... Pull your head in, Viv. Just keep your head together.

I was convinced that we'd be the first out of there.

But again, somehow, we just lost our lead.

I don't know how we're doing this stroke. It's not working.

Slow it down. I can't do it at your pace.

I know but I'm trying to move the boat, Viv.

Track the teams every step of the way on 10 Play,

with an interactive guide to every location, challenge and result,

only at 10play.com.au/TheAmazingRace.

We've got to put a puzzle together.

But first, we need to hop in a kayak and find seven missing pieces.

Alright. You right? Yeah.

I'll wait here. Go.

So we've got another five more to go.

Yep.

Taking in this beautiful scenery

on this amazing country and land, the Jawoyn land,

for a moment there, I sort of lost concentration

of where I was and what I was doing.

Come on, Jerome. Please.

Paddle together. You've got to go with me, babe. Yep.

But I quickly snapped back into reality.

We've got some ground to make up. Let's do it.

That's four. Yep.

Left, right. Other side. Right. Left...

We were pumped up,

paddling around like crazy

searching for these seven missing puzzle pieces.

You got it? Yep.

Got the bag? Yep.

Left, right, left, right.

We were in sync. We know each other so well.

So, to get that left, right, left, right down pat, it was easy.

Bag, bag, bag, bag, bag.

I got nothing. Absolutely nothing.

This sucks.

We found the first six puzzle pieces

but it was the seventh one that just completely got us.

Nothing, right?

We circled around maybe three times and just kept missing it.

It's probably not this far down.

At this point, I was feeling really negative and down.

Keep your head together.

This gorge is huge. We could be kayaking for, you know, hours.

Yes, there's another one up there. Yes!

We're at the end of this competition.

We have a chance and a very close possibility of winning this thing.

We're not gonna give up without a fight.

What one's that? That's Vietnam, eh? Yep.

Bag, bag, bag.

We need two more.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

We went up one side, back the other,

and actually found them all really quickly.

Be careful, be careful.

Korea. We've got Korea. Seven. Let's go.

Right.

We were back on the shore in no time.

Careful, it's slippery up here. It's gonna be so slippery.

Have you got the clue there, mate?

Alright, so, "Correctly assemble the puzzle

"for each country you've raced through."

It's time for the easy part - assembling the puzzle.

Based on the clues written on them,

teams have got to separate the pieces by the countries they represent.

Once they've figured that out,

they can start to assemble the six country theme blocks.

Finally, carefully stack them up to receive the last clue.

So, yeah, pretty straightforward task, really, if you ask me.

This is South Korea here. So you're the South Korea.

Where did Hayley and that go? They were in...

- They were in... - Mongolia.

Going into this race, it was one thing that we said,

"We hope we don't get, like, puzzle challenges."

South Korea. Who went home?

The... the...

And now we're in the final leg of The Amazing Race

and we get a puzzle challenge.

We were glad we had a bit of a lead.

There was so many pieces. So many just random bits.

There's so many different shapes and sizes. We didn't know what to do.

Can we start with what we know and see if we can get the puzzle right?

OK. Otherwise we're gonna take forever.

- Watch out, watch out. - Ready? Up there.

You go right and right.

Get it, get it, get it.

Let's go. Get in, get in, get in.

Come on. We've got all seven now.

Left. Right. So let's go.

OK. Whoo!

Oh, shit. Let's go. Go, go, go.

When we finally got back to start working on building this puzzle,

we could see Tim and Rod

had actually started to get things in order.

Oh, that was, um, Malawi.

Oh, that's Thailand.

When we looked at the pieces, it had all of the different flags,

different photos, you know,

different challenges that had happened at each leg.

One, two, three, four, five, six...

We were quite familiar with all this different information

and that we'd be able to put it together.

So I felt pretty confident that we'd be able to catch up.

OK, we can do this. Yeah.

Just want to make sure we didn't miss anything on the way.

We've been on the water for at least an hour

trying to find this last puzzle piece,

so a part of us knew that, you know what?

This could be over.

You've got to help me, Viv. I'm so tired.

I know. Me too, Joe.

We knew Tim and Rod and Jasmin and Jerome were well ahead of us

and we had just lost so much time already.

Right there. Yeah.

You see it?

We've been in this place before where we know we're dead last.

Finally, seven pieces.

But, again, it doesn't matter. We're just gonna keep fighting.

Are you good? Alright. Yep.

Never give up.

And just finish this damn puzzle.

Wait, they're still going, Joe.

They're still going!

It didn't look like anyone had pieces assembled.

Everything's all over the shop.

I'm not sure if they actually knew what they were doing.

But I think maybe Jasmin and Jerome were sort of onto something.

But when I looked over at Tim and Rod's camp,

it was just pieces everywhere.

This is definitely our type of challenge,

so really this was for us to make up some time.

This is a 250K puzzle,

so, uh, if I can crack this...

This Nitmiluk Gorge is one of Australia's greatest natural wonders.

Now all the teams have gotta do is come and find me and this lot.

But who'll be first to the finish line in The Amazing Race Australia?!

This is a 250K puzzle. We can do it.

Feel like we're slowly getting it.

We've gotta build it up.

Why would it be that way?

We started with the first six pieces for Korea

and we kind of worked our way through each country,

just to kind of organise all the pieces.

But then it came to the time where we had to put the pieces together...

It's gonna be like two, two, two.

..this was the moment of truth. It would either make us or break us.

How can a frigging puzzle be this hard?

We can get it, we can get it. Just stay positive.

We were slowly, slowly, slowly getting this puzzle tower together.

We are not giving up.

Nup.

We want that first prize so badly.

Do you reckon that's a fit?

Six pieces...

Can't say I've played with wooden puzzles in a long time.

Which is why I'm really annoyed now 'cause there's a trick to this.

Yep.

This is where we said we'd excel, in challenges like this.

We got one layer, we would get the rest.

I reckon it's that way. Yep. Just go with your gut.

I feel like I'm onto something but I just can't finish this block.

Oh, so this is actually the cross and not these two pieces.

Yep. OK.

We entered this race to win and we wanted to win it to change our lives.

It's this one. Give me this.

And we hope, like, our son can watch this and see, like,

you know, you can be brave... and have courage and...

..you can achieve anything. You know?

Babe, we can get this.

So, I think that looks right.

Yep.

We're just... just about to get it.

- This crazy bit here. - Yeah.

That's it. That's in.

We connected two together,

connected another two together,

then the final two pieces - boom,

we got one of the cubes together.

Is that it? It is!

That's getting taller.

It was seriously close.

Any team could win it.

Leave that on, leave that on. Make it more like this.

Yes.

Why isn't this going in now?

Last one. Last one.

Have you got it? Yeah.

So we've got one, two, three, four, five, six.

Well done.

Keep going, Joey, keep going.

And another. Which is here. Ah...

Yep.

Once we get that final cube on top, we are done.

"This is your last clue for The Amazing Race.

"Search the gorge on foot to find Beau at the finish line.

"The first team to arrive will win $250,000!"

And searching that gorge is not gonna be an easy task.

The final foot race is on.

We're about to give away $250,000 cash.

Now's not the time to get lost.

What does it say, mate?

"Search the gorge on foot to find Beau at the finish line."

Go straight. Go straight.

We had no idea where the pit stop was.

We're in this huge, enormous gorge, rocks everywhere.

We couldn't see Beau, we couldn't see a map,

we didn't know where we were running.

The other teams were catching up,

they were getting their cubes together,

they were completing their puzzles.

Babe! Come on!

Jasmin, this way. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

So, we knew they were right behind us.

Run, mate, run. We can do this.

We have a possibility to be the first team there.

We cannot stuff this up.

We'll make it happen.

12 legs of running and racing so hard.

We're not giving up now.

- That's it. - OK, let's go.

It's just every team for themselves.

We always say it's not over until we hit the mat and we see Beau.

How are you feeling? You keep up? Aha. Just go.

Don't stop running. Don't stop running.

Give me your bag. You sure?

One last time, hey? One last time.

The race isn't over yet, we still need to find Beau at the pit stop.

Just don't stop. Go, go, go.

Looking for Beau.

It has been one hell of a race.

It was seriously close.

Go, mate. You can do it.

So close, so close.

It's the boys.

Tim, Rod...

..you are the winners of The Amazing Race!

And you've won $250,000!

Oh, my God!

I love you so much.

Whoa.

How does that feel? Feels so good.

It's honestly the greatest feeling in the world.

We wanted it so damn bad and it's finally happened.

This journey, this race,

this insane, crazy adventure we've all been a part of,

it's just the full-blown rollercoaster

but it's the most fun we've ever had in our lives.

We've learnt so much about each other

and at the end of the day, we're still together.

After something like this,

I think we can both pat ourselves on the back.

I'm just so in love with him, my best mate, my soul mate.

If our marriage can last The Amazing Race,

we can last a lifetime, I reckon.

Jas and Jerome on home turf.

And look at him, like a gentleman, carrying his wife's bag.

Jas, Jerome,

you guys are... runners-up in The Amazing Race Australia.

Second team to check in.

Oh, thanks, Beau.

Oh.

Welcome home.

Thank you so much, brother. Thanks, brother Beau.

Your son will be proud of you, bro.

Even though we didn't come up, you know, with the goods,

I think we're still pretty proud of how we went.

It's done a hell of a lot for your marriage, you love each other.

Yeah.

Yep. Fixed up our communication quick smart.

You gotta remember, women are always right, bro.

Exactly. I'm still learning.

Oh, thank you.

Viv and Joey...

..you are the third team to check in

but you finished The Amazing Race Australia.

Well done, Viv. Well done.

Oh.

You are the smallest people I've ever seen in my life.

But you have the biggest hearts.

What have you learned about each other?

I learned that Viv just needs to stop... underestimating herself.

You know, she doubts herself a lot.

She's done...

..she's done so well, you know?

She can do everything.

Joey's a champ.

He just smashed it in a lot of Road Blocks

and we wouldn't have gotten to the final three without him, so...

Congratulations to the winners and let's bring it in, huh?

We're going home! We're going home!

This race challenges you mentally, it challenges you physically.

You have the greatest days of your life,

you have the worst days of your life.

We did it together.

I love you so much.

I love you.
