Original subtitles

DAVID: It's the most extreme global challenge ever devised.

Let's go!

Three teams of strangers... Argh!

Whoo! Let's go, guys!

..Team Navy, Team Gold, and Team Scarlet -

dropped somewhere on the planet...

We're in the middle of the desert.

..with one massive twist.

Unable to see... (DRUMS THUD)

..unable to hear.

(ISLAMIC CALL TO PRAYER)

They have no idea where they are...

(SCREAMS)

..or what they're about to experience.

(CHEERING)

(HAND SLAPS) Oooh!

Their sole focus is to make it to the Escape Zone...

Let's go, guys!

..because the last team to meet me there...

Seriously, run, run, run!

..must eliminate one of their own...

(SCREAMING)

..until one traveller remains to take home $100,000

and two first-class tickets around the world.

(CHEERING)

(DRUM RHYTHMS)

Previously, teams partied their way through Brazil.

Should we go down and look for some food?

When Team Scarlet made an impromptu food stop,

it ended up being Najmah's last supper.

Unfortunately, Najmah, your journey stops here.

In exotic Turkey, Team Gold ended up clean...

Arggh!

No more, no more!

..out of cash.

Do youse guys have any money? Please!

As the growing bond between Saxon and Lola...

(LAUGHTER)

..left Priscilla sidelined.

Priscilla, your journey ends here.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Team Navy! (CONTESTANTS YELL)

Then, in Jordan, Team Navy got hopelessly lost in the desert.

That way is north, that way is north-east.

TYLEN: Shit.

But when Madi became the third player to exit the game,

she knew exactly which way her team was headed.

I don't think they're gonna win.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

With the playing field once again level,

the competition is heating up.

(CHEERING)

The next drop starts...now.

(TRAFFIC ROARS, HORNS BLARE)

Within the continent of Asia lies India.

The most populated country in the world...

..and every springtime...

..the entire country comes alive

with the throwing of colourful powdered paint...

..signifying one thing.

Holi Festival.

This centuries-old Hindu tradition is seen as a new beginning...

..where millions release their inhibitions...

(DRUMS THUD)

..and celebrate the arrival of spring...

..and the triumph of good over evil.

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

(HORNS BLARE, DRUMS THUD)

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

(MUSIC BUILDS AND FADES)

VOICEOVER: Drop will commence in T minus 20 seconds.

Prepare for drop.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(CHEERING, DRUMS THUD)

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four,

three, two, one.

Go for the drop.

(HEARTBEAT THUDS)

(DRUMMING AND CHEERING)

(SHRIEKING AND LAUGHTER)

(DRUMMING CONTINUES)

TYLEN: Holy shit, it was just hectic!

Colour everywhere. People just dancing.

(SCREAMS)

(DRUMMING CONTINUES)

FIONA: I had no idea that this even existed.

(DRUMMING CONTINUES)

HAMISH: Bu-ra, bu-ra, bu-ra from the drums!

Whoo!

We're at Holi Festival. We're having a festival for sure.

(LAUGHTER)

(DRUMMING CONTINUES)

Whoo!

SOFIA: The streets are so busy!

There's a cow every, like, five metres we walk!

Hello! Can I touch it?

(DRUMMING CONTINUES)

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING) Oh, oh!

"In the city of pink

"lies a palace so breezy."

"Windows aplenty.

"Catch a train to make it easy."

We gotta get to the train station.

So, when we got the clue, I'm like, "Let's go."

We had to kind of dance our way out of there.

Oh! Whoa!

Catch our breath for a second here.

Eh? Get our breath.

That's wild!

Let's just check our bags quickly.

Hey! ADAM: Yeah, yeah, here we go.

Yeah, open it up, buddy.

How...yeah, that's what we need to be able to catch a train.

Each team has been given 1,200 rupees,

which is roughly AU$20.

This should be just enough money

to help them make their way from the Drop Zone in Pushkar

to find me in the Pink City, Jaipur.

Hello. Do you know English?

Pink City? The Pink City?

Jaipur? OK.

Can we get a train to Jaipur?

Sorry, what? Train!

Train. Choo-choo! Choo-choo!

Yes, train. Yeah, where do we go?

OK, so, we got Ajmer train station? Let's go!

It's super valuable, being able to talk to the locals.

There's more university graduates in India

than there are children in America.

So, everyone's really fluent in English as well.

OK. Thank you very much. Thank you.

DAVID: To get to Ajmer station, the teams will need to take a tuktuk.

There's a lot of drivers over there. Should we go ask?

Yeah.

India was actually the first country I ever came to.

My heart fell in love with travelling and the people here.

So, it's a really special feeling to be back here.

Alright, guys, get ready for this.

This is gonna be nuts!

Hang on!

Adam and Fiona have never been to India,

but I think they're gonna love it.

We're gonna have a great time.

(HORNS BLARE, SHOUTING)

Adam, maybe close your eyes, mate.

(WHISTLES TOOT)

Did anyone see CK this morning?

No, I didn't see any of them. No.

No, I didn't see him either.

(RHYTHMIC DRUMMING)

Unbeknownst to Lola and Saxon,

CK is unable to join Team Gold in India

due to personal reasons,

but we'll find out more about that later on.

Alright, let's go find DJ, then.

Let's just start, and hopefully get some answers about CK.

(HORN BLARES)

SAXON: OK, Indian roadways - just imagine constant...

(MIMICS HORN BLARING)

Like, the whole time, from all directions.

Cars zooming past.

Hello!

(LAUGHS) This is India! Welcome!

You're just like, "I just wanna wave to everyone!"

Welcome to India! Hello!

Dye?

Yeah, like... (INAUDIBLE)

Can you get it all out - sensually?

(LAUGHTER)

I'm really enjoying having some one-on-one time with Lola.

I can definitely feel something is happening.

I'm not sure how substantial it is yet.

So, CK now being here may change that dynamic slightly...I'm hoping.

(LAUGHS)

This still feels so weird.

You and I have never been alone.

Oh, yeah. I'm cool with it, though.

Really?

Yes.

Oh, you're holding my hand now? (LAUGHS)

Wow! That's very cute!

This is a big step to me as well! OK. I like that.

OK! (LAUGHS)

We've progressed to hand-holding.

(LAUGHS) Don't make it a thing!

If I was to describe myself,

I would say that I am a very goofy person.

(LAUGHS)

I live in Mount Isa, and I run a day care.

Yeah? Could you draw me a cat? (GASPS)

I love it! I love kids.

I really wanna make a difference in their lives.

Look! (LAUGHS)

And I'd love a family - I'd love all of that,

but I'm single.

I think I just don't like the dating process.

There's only three types of guys that I date,

which are bodybuilders, criminals, and police officers.

So, it's just something I've been working on.

(LAUGHS) Trying.

Travelling is my favourite thing in the world.

It's my everything.

You learn so much about yourself,

but also what, like, an amazing world we live in.

And you just come back a different person.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

It's a very weird situation.

I came on this, like, trip to catch flights, not feelings,

but Saxon and I get along very well.

Evidently, reading back my journal, I liked you quite early on.

Really? I thought you were really handsome.

Did you? What did you say about me?

I said you were really cute, and I...but I...and then I said...

..no, you moved from cute to handsome.

Cute, han...cute, then handsome? Then handsome.

Well!

And then one time - it was when you said that really nice thing to me

when I was crying at, um...

Oh, yeah.

You said something about my vulnerability,

and I wrote about it, and I said,

"Saxon's, like, the type of guy that I'd hope I'd, one day, end up with,"

and I was like,

"But he'd never be interested in me 'cause he's too cool."

Ooooh! Too cool?! I'm the biggest loser on Earth!

I know. It only took me getting to know you better!

Yeah, now you realise I'm such a loser!

I'm like, "It's OK. He's lame, and I like it."

I'm lame.

Well... (SPLUTTERS) ..I don't know!

Something could happen.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHTER)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

SOFIA: We need to go to the train station.

Ajmer. Ajmer train station, yes?

500? Are you happy with 500? Yeah?

Whoo!

With Team Navy down to three, having recently lost Madi...

(HORN BLARES)

..they are finding themselves loving India and the new team dynamic.

Familia!

Reservation office.

HAMISH: Yeah, down here - tickets.

So far, so good.

All three teams make it to Ajmer Station...

Well, well, well!

Hello! Fancy seeing you here!

..and for 110 rupees per ticket -

roughly AUD$2 -

they board the same train.

Our three teams are travelling 135km to Jaipur,

the largest city in the north-western state of Rajasthan,

and known as the Pink City of India.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

The story goes that in 1876,

the then Prince of Wales visited India.

The colour pink was symbolic of hospitality,

and so the Maharajah of Jaipur painted the entire city pink.

(HORN BLARES)

TOMMY: And we're on our way to Jaipur,

and it's cool.

Like, we got all the... got the fam-bam.

Hey, guys. Say hi to Australia.

Hey! MEN: Hello!

(LAUGHTER)

Whoo! I love India!

People are really smiling from the inside out -

well, especially today, with happy Holi,

and suddenly we're having a party on the train.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! PASSENGERS: Oi, oi, oi!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, oi, oi!

(CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)

Everyone's very open, everyone's very welcoming.

Can you teach me?

(DRUM THUDS)

(LAUGHS)

We're getting, uh...face... what are those called?

Selfies! Getting selfies.

(CHEERING)

One of the coolest train rides I've ever had.

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

With the teams fast approaching Jaipur,

they still need to decipher the rest of the clue

so they can locate me,

where I can give them their dossier containing the next mission.

We need to find a...a palace with lots of windows.

Hawa Mahal? Yeah.

Hawa Mahal?

Is it far from Jaipur Station? MAN: No, no.

(UPBEAT DRUM RHYTHMS)

Not far at all.

(HORNS BLARE)

From the station, the teams will be racing for 6km to find me...

..here at the Hawa Mahal...

..built in the shape of Lord Krishna's crown.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Owing to its 953 windows,

Hawa Mahal literally translates into the "the palace of the winds".

(TRUMPETS)

With the teams arriving neck and neck...

Let's go.

..the race is on,

because the first team to arrive

will get an invaluable head start tomorrow.

So, I can see the road. You see?

Yep. Straight down there.

We don't even have to turn around to know that the other teams,

they're hot on our heels.

We're literally right on their tails, but get a move on.

Jump in. Come on, come on. OK. Thank you.

And so it's really consequential

to get out as quick as possible and get a tuktuk.

There's no margin for error.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

That was surely quicker than the other teams.

(BLEEP), yes!

(BOTH WHOOP AND CHEER)

That's what I'm talking about! That's it!

SOFIA: Oh, here! Come on! Tuktuk? Where's the tuktuk?

TOMMY: Get off the train.

The first thing we see is Team Gold legging it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

We're like, "Come on, let's go!"

Hey, we're going to, uh... Hawa Mahal, Hawa Mahal!

TYLEN: We need to get there as fast as you can.

Fast, fast, fast, fast! As fast as you can.

At the same time we get in the tuktuk,

Team Scarlet get in the tuktuk.

OK, let's go! Oh, my god.

TYLEN: Go! We need to beat them!

Slash their tyres!

SOFIA: We need to go. Look - they're leaving, they're leaving!

Go, go, go, go!

HAMISH: Yeah, they're in a new tuktuk, yeah!

TOMMY: It's all gonna come down to who's got the fastest tuktuk.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

FIONA: Oh, they've got a faster one! (HORN BLARES)

Get out!

TYLEN: Hey, can you honk? Honk?

Oh, we won! (LAUGHTER AND SHOUTING)

Go away!

(LAUGHTER) Yay!

Yay!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(HORN BLARES) SAXON: Thank you. Let's go!

LOLA: We have to find the entry. Let's go, let's go, let's go!

We have to go around the fence!

Around the fence!

Team Gold have arrived first to the Hawa Mahal...

Where's the entrance?

Ahh, ahh, Saxon - the entrance is this way!

OK!

..and although I'm standing across the road,

they are trying to make their way inside.

Saxon, it looks fully closed.

The literal message said, "Go to the palace."

We went to the palace!

We ran to the front, thinking that everyone's already in there.

Nothing!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What?

SOFIA: Where is it? Where is it? In there? In there?

TYLEN: Oh, no. It's back behind us. Oh, my god, that's it!

That's it, that's it, that's it.

Oh, my god, he's right there!

He's right there! He's right there! He's right there!

No, no! Yes, yes, yes! We're going, we're going, we're going!

We're going, we're going, we're going, we're going!

Sorry! Sorry! Go, go.

Let's go, let's go, let's go! Arggh!

Ahh! DG! Ahh!

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Oh, my gosh! Yay!

Team Navy! Say hello!

What's up?

Navy. There's Navy and Dave!

There's Navy and Dave there! Dave's there!

Welcome to electric India!

Yeah! Thank you! (LAUGHS)

FIONA: Quickly!

Oh, Scarlet! Come on in! Why don't you join us?

Join us, join us!

G'day! G'day!

(LAUGHTER AND CHATTER)

Now it's a real party, huh?

Well done, guys! (CHEERING)

Well done, Team Navy and Team Scarlet.

You came in neck and neck.

What happened to Gold?

Is there another palace in Jaipur that has lots of windows?

That has a lot of windows? OK. Yeah.

Is there another entrance?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

We were so far in the lead.

We know these other teams are literally on our arses!

These stuff-ups, they're gonna be what costs us.

What the hell?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(BLEEP)!

(TRAFFIC ROARS)

(HORNS BLARE)

DAVID: It's day one in India...

(HORNS BLARE)

..and both Team Navy and Team Scarlet

have found me here in Jaipur...

..home to the Hawa Mahal,

a five-storey palace adorned with nearly 1,000 windows.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Meanwhile...

What the hell?

..Team Gold are seemingly lost.

Team Scarlet, Team Navy,

you managed to find me

next to the iconic Palace of the Winds in Jaipur.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) Well done, guys!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

The other teams are all over there, and I don't know why.

There's DG. Oh, for...!

What happened to Gold?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Stupid us -

we decided to, like, circumnavigate the entire building's facade

before we realised, "Oh, there he is,"

and in that time we lost all of our lead,

and all of the other teams had beaten us to DG!

OK, the competition is obviously heating up.

Oh, just a second.

(MAN CHEERS)

Well, come on in, guys! SOFIA: Join the party!

Come on over! Well done, well done!

Team Gold, welcome to the party!

(HORNS BLARE) How beautiful.

Wow, all teams have landed here at the same time.

This is the first time that's happened,

and I'm pretty excited about it, you guys.

Now, obviously, Team Gold, you're down a team member.

Where is CK?

So, unfortunately, due to personal reasons,

CK wasn't able to join you in India.

He's devastated, obviously.

Even though CK isn't able to be here,

he's still very much in this competition.

Oh, cool. Alright?

But that means

if you were the last team to arrive at the Escape Zone in India,

Team Gold, it won't go to a vote.

Instead, a decision will come down to chance.

This is the only fair way to do it.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I'm sure neither of you want to leave it up to chance

to determine your fate in this competition.

So, if I was you, I'd hustle.

SAXON: I'm glad that CK is OK,

but I suddenly realise the gravity of the situation.

Coming last leaves my fate up to chance -

to go home on a coin toss.

Yeah, there's no more margin for error.

We need to clock on and get things done better than the other teams,

or one of us is gonna be going home.

How's the team dynamic with just the two of you?

It's good, man.

Two people are faster than three,

but we're getting along like a house on fire.

Oh, really? Would you like to elaborate that...

Uh, not just now - not in front of the other teams.

(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM AND WHOOP)

Stop it! Love it!

Love story!

Someone's going red! Someone's blushing.

Oh, India's a very romantic country.

It certainly is, brother. (LAUGHS)

Alright, you've gone from the desert, where you can't see a soul,

to this absolute insanity!

(LAUGHS) Is this chaos, or what? CONTESTANTS: Yeah.

This is just the beginning.

Here in India, you must complete two missions.

Your first mission -

you have been invited to a traditional Indian wedding.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

I won't be there,

so you need to take a wedding photo with the bride and groom.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You'll need to dress the part in traditional Indian wedding attire.

For your second mission,

you'll take a lengthy journey west

to the Karni Mata Temple.

You must walk into the centre of the temple

and make an offering to the locals who live there.

(HORNS BLARE)

After the temple, you'll need to race to find the Escape Zone.

(HORNS BLARE) Whoa!

(LAUGHTER)

How good's India?

(CHEERING)

The Escape Zone is located

at the Gajner Palace, in Rajasthan,

368km away.

In your dossier, you will find 6,000 rupees per person,

which is roughly AU$110 each.

This is to buy wedding outfits and get you to the Escape Zone.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Alright, come and get these. Thank you.

One for each of you.

There you go, man. Thanks, DG.

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

With all the teams arriving at the check-in point

within ten minutes of each other,

they all get to start day two minutes apart.

Oh, listen to that!

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

Welcome to India! Whoo!

(HORNS BLARE)

Their mission is to race to a traditional Indian wedding...

FIONA: Off to a wedding.

..and get a selfie with the bride and groom...

..and to look the part, they need to hit the shops.

And with generations of tailoring expertise on hand,

they're bound to find something pretty special...

Oh, it's very gorgeous!

..but with a budget of only 6,000 rupees per person

to buy wedding outfits and get them to the Escape Zone...

SOFIA: Alright, let's bounce.

..they need to spend it wisely.

SAXON: Oooh, yeah, OK.

I'm vibing this! This is good as!

OK, welcome to the Indian wedding.

Hey! Yes, thank you!

I feel like a sultan.

I feel like something out of a Bollywood film.

What do you think?

Oooh, I like it! Yeah, looks good.

Do I look beautiful?

Thank you. Should we get married?

(LAUGHTER)

Saxon's pretty cute. (LAUGHS)

Thank you so much! Thank you! Bye!

With Saxon's wedding outfit sorted and costing 2,000 rupees...

..it's now Lola's turn.

LOLA: Hi!

We're looking to get me an outfit for a wedding.

A sari?

Can I try this one on?

It's like the stuff of dreams.

This is so cool!

I'm glad we've got an actual wedding attire shop.

Hopefully we can afford their prices.

Thank you!

Very exciting! (LAUGHS)

Maybe a little bit.

If Saxon's really nice, I'll dance with him. (LAUGHS)

Saxon? We have...

Oh, my goodness gracious me!

You are going to show up everyone else at that wedding!

I mean, I'm taking the opportunity

to, like, throw a bit of flirtatious vibes at Lola.

I'm a 32-year-old dude from the Sunshine Coast.

As yet, I haven't met a really, really important, special girl,

but Lola - oh, she looks stunning!

She looks beautiful!

Princessly.

I think this is bigger than any other dress I've ever worn.

Oh, really?

How long would it take to alter?

Could we get the alterations done? This one's perfect.

Thank you.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

While she looks beautiful,

the fact that we've ended up at a tailor, it's kind of worrying me,

both in terms of time and price.

How much is the dress?

Ohh! Are you good with that?

Yes. OK.

100%. OK.

But, yeah, love makes you do crazy things.

I'll see you soon. We'll be back for our, um...

Alterations. Yes, for our alterations.

Team Gold have spent around 8,000 rupees -

around AU$145,

which is over half their budget for the entire trip.

On top of that, they must also now wait an hour for alterations.

FIONA: Come on, Hamish - give us a show!

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Team Scarlet are already dressed and ready for a party...

Whoo!

..and they're feeling pretty good about only spending 5,000 rupees,

which, at AU$91,

is only one third of their budget.

So, they cruise into first place,

and with information found in their dossier,

begin the one-hour journey from Jaipur to the wedding.

Over in the Bapu Markets,

Team Navy are hoping to wrap things up quickly...

(SOFIA LAUGHS) ..with their wedding attire.

Can you tell us the price for everything?

Sorry?

6,000 everything.

But with a history of overspending,

being thrifty is now at the forefront of Tommy's mind.

OK, so, I'll be 100% honest, right?

Is there any possibility that you would come down?

Because we're prepared to walk away,

and then we'd go the next shop, and then the next shop,

until we get it down to...

Can you just throw a price? I feel like we need to be quick.

Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah. We need quick, yeah.

But we are racing.

Tommy's a mad hustler!

And I know we have a budget to stick to,

but I feel like he's just wasting too much time bartering.

We budgeted to spend about 2,000.

So, if you can get to 2,000 for all this...

All of it, yeah. No? OK.

Not possible. Yeah.

We need to talk, we need to talk. Yeah, yeah.

Let's talk, let's talk.

We're in a race, OK?

We need to get a grind on.

We need to get moving.

I guarantee you, if he gives us 5,000,

we go to the next shop and the next shop...

I just feel like time, Tom.

Being in countries like this,

I always wanna get the best deal,

but I didn't...

..I'm not getting much chance to do all my bartering.

If we run out of money, it might cost us the race.

I feel, like, I reckon if we can get him to, like, 4,500, or even 4,000.

Let's say... I reckon 4,000.

Dude, we can do 4,000, and that's all we can do.

4,000 is good. Yeah.

Alright, done. (SOFIA LAUGHS)

Thank you!

Alright, thanks, man.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(HORNS BLARE)

DAVID: Much like the mood shift in Team Navy,

the weather in Jaipur takes a turn for the worse...

SOFIA: Oh, my god! Oh!

..just as they begin the one-hour journey to the wedding.

TYLEN: We're going to a wedding.

Wedding. (LAUGHTER)

MAN: India's wedding parties very... Yeah, very excited! (LAUGHS)

Look, the worst... obviously this is a game,

and the way I see it right now,

is that, if we come last,

we are already down to three,

and I don't wanna go down to two at the moment.

It's literally neck and neck, so I'm definitely worried.

DAVID: Still to come...

They know how to party, these Indians, I tell you what.

..in a country steeped in romance...

Ahh!

..ancient mysteries...

FIONA: Look at the rats!

ADAM: I don't know anyone in my life

that would go down and put their face in that milk.

I'll just do this. There you go.

Ohh!

..and sacred traditions...

Ow!

Did he bite you? SOFIA: Did it really?

..Saxon and Lola...

How much?

..discover the price of love.

500, 1,000. 300.

500, that's 2,000. Please.

(HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

DAVID: 40km north of Jaipur City lies Samode Palace.

This 16th-century fortress

is nestled within the ancient Aravalli Hills.

And today our bride and groom prepare for their ceremony

steeped in rich tradition.

(HAUNTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

With both Teams Scarlet and Navy making headway

on the journey from Jaipur to the wedding,

Team Gold are relieved to finally be collecting Lola's outfit

after the one-hour wait for alterations.

Knowing that, because of CK's absence in India,

should Team Gold be the last team to arrive at the Escape Zone tomorrow,

their fate will come down to chance.

Is the outfit ready yet?

The outfit's finished?

LOLA: Five minutes? Five minutes?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What's wrong? I'm just stressing on time.

Well, we didn't have a choice.

I hope everyone else has had to get alterations done.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I hope so.

Mmm.

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

Traditionally, Hindu weddings are huge events...

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

..where the celebrations can last for several days

due to the many rituals that take place.

This wedding has cost well over AU$100,000.

First to arrive at the wedding is Team Scarlet.

FIONA: Oh, my god!

We look real...out of place.

I can't believe we're invited to a wedding like this.

(RHYTHMIC DRUMMING)

The groom, he's on a horse.

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

It's a week of celebrating.

They know how to party, these Indians, I tell you what.

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

I can't see the other teams at all.

So, we don't know where they are.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Oh, man!

Why do we always have to be freaking out on time, eh?

So hectic!

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

How long?

We're in a really big rush. I'm sorry, but we...

Uh...but it's been an hour.

I'm sorry, it's just that we have to get to this wedding.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I'm pretty stressed right at this moment.

This alteration was meant to take, like, an hour,

and it's looking like an hour 45 right now.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

We don't know where the other teams could be at.

There's a high chance they're already at the wedding.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

TOMMY: Alright, thanks, Abdul.

Oh, look who's here. ADAM: Ohh!

Arriving at the palace to join Team Scarlet in the celebrations

is Team Navy.

Damn it! Game time, huh?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Each team's mission is to get a selfie with the bride and groom.

Easier said than done.

(HAUNTING SINGING)

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

TOMMY: This is one of the most amazing weddings I've ever seen.

I actually got a bit teary.

The bride and groom literally look like

the sultan and his beautiful wife.

TYLEN: Wonder where Gold is.

(LOLA GROANS)

How much longer?

I'm feeling really sick. (SIGHS)

Oh, amazing! Oh, yes! Thank you, boss!

Thank you so much! OK!

Let's go, let's go! Taxi!

Thank you! To Samode Palace! Thank you so much!

Let's go. OK.

God, I hope we're not too late to this wedding.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Oh, ho! Wow!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

SAXON: Oh, gosh!

Well, we don't know that. We actually don't know that.

We always do assume the worst.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

(CHEERING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

SAXON: Are we close?

Can we go faster?

Oh, (BLEEP)! (HANDBRAKE CRUNCHES)

LOLA: Need to go to the palace.

What? (DOOR SLAMS)

Oh, he doesn't even know where we're going!

(ETHEREAL CHORAL MUSIC)

DAVID: Samode Palace was the ancestral home

of the rulers of Samode for nearly 500 years.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Now run as a luxury hotel,

it serves as the perfect backdrop

for a traditional Indian wedding.

But for Team Scarlet,

today's mission is at the forefront of their mind.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Each team must get a selfie with the bride and groom

before they can check in for the night...

FIONA: OK, I'm gonna have to push my way up there, aren't I?

..and whoever gets there first tonight

gets to leave first tomorrow.

WOMAN: Yes! Yes, yes.

Can we get a photo?

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC SWELLS)

Whilst Team Scarlet take out first place at 8:50PM...

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

Can we get a photo?

..Team Navy are a matter of seconds behind them...

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

..which means they'll be leaving seconds apart tomorrow morning...

(LIVELY INDIAN RHYTHMS)

..leaving Team Gold trailing behind in third place,

and having completely missed the ceremony.

SAXON: Let's find somewhere to get changed.

LOLA: Let's move - find a car.

Um...

You're gonna have to stand in front of me.

Getting changed in the car park

was not something I'd planned, which is classy.

Unfortunately, the problems and delays

caused by Lola's outfit for the wedding aren't over yet.

Lola's skirt is still too big for her.

LOLA: Flip!

SAXON: What? As in, it's...

..that big.

We just waited hours.

Are you joking me?

That's tight.

And, unfortunately, her top is too tight to zip up.

F'ing kidding me.

They've done this one too small.

That's unbelievable.

I'm just beyond this.

The fact that my dress does not fit

literally kills me from the inside out.

OK, you let me know what you want me to do.

It really threw Lola.

(EXASPERATED GROAN)

How much is open still?

Only, like, that much.

Stuff it.

We're already tying the other part up with a hair tie.

Good, good.

And she did pretty well to remain composed.

Oh, for (BLEEP) sake.

Relatively composed.

Can you just please tell me that this is covered at the back?

Yes, yep. OK.

We're a bit late to the wedding, aren't we?

Yeah, a bit late to the party, but...

With the other teams

completing their mission and checked in for the day...

..Team Gold need to hustle,

and locate the bride and groom for that all-important selfie.

I kind of feel rude about how late we're coming.

Is that the bride there, no?

I want to know what the bride looks like.

Hey, guys. Hey.

Hello. How are you? Good. How are you?

I'm Saxon. This is Lola.

What's your name? Jess.

You're not the bride, are you?

I am the bride. You look beautiful!

Oh, my goodness.

How are you, sir? Hey. I'm Avi.

You look amazing. Saxon. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Saxon. Pleasure.

Apparently, if you unsheathe it, you're supposed to use it.

Really? Yeah.

Don't unsheathe it around me, then. Yeah, yeah.

Now acquainted with the bride and groom,

Team Gold can finally complete their mission at 9:50pm...

..leaving them in last place.

They will be starting tomorrow a full hour behind the other teams.

Us coming last, that puts us at a serious disadvantage.

Their catastrophic decisions made earlier in the day...

..have left Lola questioning her in-game romance.

No, no, no, I'm not dancing.

No, no, you go do it.

You do it. OK.

You're killing me.

This is actually killing me.

This is...

No, I don't know.

It's such a bizarre situation.

This is a competition, and it's really hard because I feel like...

Like, maybe I would've thought more about the alterations today

if I was in more of a game mentality,

rather than Saxon telling me I look nice in a dress.

It's like, great, I look pretty in a dress,

but I'm not here to look pretty in a dress.

And I've done that so many times, gone for a guy and gone,

"This is where I'm gonna put all my energy,"

and missed out on opportunities.

Namaste.

Saxon's a really sweet, lovely person

but I just don't want to lose sight of why I'm here.

I'm here to win.

Still to come...

There's a little rat. Oh!

All I heard in there was yelling and screaming.

(SQUEALS)

Shrieking like a little kitten was Adam, it was ridiculous.

(SQUEALS)

It's the final day in India, and, with elimination on the line,

the teams are racing to their last mission.

Here we go. Taxi!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, taxi?

Here we go.

We have to win this and that's all that's going through my head.

Go, go, go!

Second is not an option.

We want a hat-trick

and, anything less than that, we're gonna be disappointed in.

Karni Mata. Perfect, namaste.

Namaste. Go, go, go.

We need to hustle. Yeah, we do.

The teams will be travelling by a combo of taxi and tuk-tuk

to the Karni Mata Temple where they must make an offering to the locals.

From Samode Palace to the temple in Deshnoke, that's 370 kilometres

or a casual six hours together in an enclosed space.

(FLATULATES) Oh, Adam.

(GIGGLING)

My guts feel horrible. Oh, you reckon?

You've got dead rats shoved up there or something?

I don't know what's going on.

And, though the spicy cuisine might be getting to Adam,

they're hitting the gas in first place.

But Team Navy are in hot pursuit.

Gold were, like, a fair bit after us.

And they're probably desperate not to go home.

They want to stay together for as long as they can.

So, what, Saxon and Lola are, like, full seeing each other.

Well, apparently!

So, they're gonna eat our dust, basically...

Pretty much. ..today.

Starting the day a full hour behind

has left Lola reflecting on Team Gold's mistakes...

I'm frothing today.

OK, good. Today will be fun.

Today is gonna be... Tuk-tuk!

So good, nicely done. Thank you.

..and has decided that her romance with Saxon is holding them back.

Alrighty.

Let's go.

Goodbye, Samoh!

For me, I was thinking back to yesterday

and I was like, oh, like...

If I hadn't been thinking about, like, wearing a pretty dress,

would I thought more about the fact of,

"We don't have time for alterations"?

Like, I think I was, like...

I wonder if I, like, lost sight of, like, where I was meant to...

what I was meant to be thinking about yesterday,

and, knowing that they were only an hour ahead of us,

if we hadn't have waited for those alterations, we would've been first.

That really, like, kicked me in the stomach.

And I think, for me...

..you know, I'm trying to focus as much as I can on the competition

and the travelling, and I feel like I'm half-hearting both of them.

And I want to make sure we're here and we're in the game

'cause I think we can both win this.

Does that make sense? 100%.

This sucks more than anything.

I would be happy to explore the feelings and play the game,

and not let either get in the way of the other.

But I can understand why

she would want us to take a big step back from each other.

This just totally sucks.

Oh, yeah, how far behind do you think we are?

I'm more hoping that we're closing the gap in just that big tuk-tuk.

So, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter

where the first team is, we just have to get in front of one team.

That only takes one stuff-up.

We'll get a chance at some point.

Yeah.

The travel time is also allowing Navy

to reflect on their team dynamics.

Tommy, I reckon your strength is definitely bartering.

Yeah. OK.

But I will say I feel like you do it really slow.

So, I think, yesterday, I was like, "Tommy, hurry up!"

I was like, "Let's just go! (BLEEP) the bartering!"

I don't know if you noticed that but...

No, I did, yeah.

Like, when I barter, there's a process and it may seem slow

but, if anyone butts in,

I have to go back to the beginning of the process.

No, I'm serious.

So, it takes 25 minutes. Exactly.

And with Team Navy closing in on Team Scarlet...

Have a look at the petrol tank. (BLEEP).

That's really concerning.

..it's not a great time to break for fuel.

Let's go.

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

Where are we?

(HORN BLARES)

In first place, Team Scarlet are arriving to Deshnoke,

famous for the Karni Mata Temple.

Oh, yeah, that's beautiful. That's gotta be it.

More than likely.

Gotta be. Yeah, that's it.

So, we've come to the Karni Mata Temple.

Yeah, it's absolutely beautiful here.

(MAJESTIC MUSIC)

This Hindu temple, originally constituted 500 years ago,

is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for the followers

of Karni Mata, known for curing people from sickness and disease.

We have to give an offering.

Can you show us?

We need to buy three offerings.

The mission is to give a offering to the locals,

which we think are gonna be monks.

Thank you. Alright, thank you.

Namaste.

What the teams don't realise

is the locals they have to give the offering to...

..are the rats.

There's a little rat.

Oh, there is. There's lots of them here.

(SQUEALS)

(LAUGHTER)

We have to take our shoes off, do we?

No, not if there's rats.

Oh, bro!

We didn't realise that it'd be absolutely an infestation of rats.

It's a rat temple.

That's why everyone there is praising the rats.

Look at... OK.

Oh, wow.

Look at the rats, whew!

Oh, when I've seen those rats, I wanted to turn around.

Bro!

Oh, rats, man, rats.

Yuck!

(SCOFFS)

Oh, they're everywhere. Yuck.

Did you just pour it in?

Yeah, yeah. (BLEEP).

Eat it, eat it, eat it.

All I heard in there was yelling and screaming.

(SQUEALS)

And shrieking like a little kitten was Adam.

It was ridiculous.

(SQUEALS) Actually, he was more ridiculous...

Did you see the rats?

He was more ridiculous than the rats.

What's Hamish doin'? I don't know.

Oh, you become the rats? Oh, wow!

Apparently, when they're reincarnated,

they reincarnate as rats so, when we were at the milk bowl,

it was actually his family, so they were his ancestors.

Health is good now, never disease.

Oh, wow!

Oh! Nuh.

I don't know...I don't know anyone in my life that would go down

and put their face in that milk besides him, and he loved it.

OK, OK, I'll just do this, there you go.

Yeah, there we go.

That was pretty amazing.

I could nearly picture him going...

But, hang on, that milk had, like, how many rats?

20 rats with all rat poo and shit in there.

It's revolting.

I'm gonna try and get it off me face in a minute with sanitation wipes.

Don't come anywhere near us. Yeah, don't come near me.

Are you OK, guys? Oh!

Oh...

OK, we need a cab straight away.

Let's get a cab and go. Let's go, let's hurry up.

Having made their offering to the locals, and in first place,

Team Scarlet head off to Gajner Palace,

the location of the escape zone.

Meanwhile, in third place, Team Gold are racing to catch up.

Hopefully, we can give them our offerings quickly,

and then the locals accept it quickly.

Like, those, all those little things could make a difference today.

Yeah, and we've been a well-oiled machine today.

That's it, we definitely have.

In second place, and with their offerings already in hand,

Team Navy are ready to meet the locals.

Oh, wow, check this out.

Our heads are so much in the competition at the moment

that we're just trying to gun to the end goal.

But, at the same point, I want to just take it in

because I really felt the genuine sacredness around this temple.

(SOARING MUSIC)

But when the rats...

What's going on here?

Oh, my gosh, they're touching them.

There's so many rats, bro. Oh, my God.

(JOVIAL MUSIC)

I feel like we'll find a place where there's heaps of rats.

Oh, that one's dead.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, there's more here.

Can you touch the rats?

Oh, oh, oh... Whoo!

They're gods, huh?

Tommy, Tommy, I don't know, babe.

Ow! Did he bite ya?

Yeah. Oh, no, are you kidding?

The old bite hurt.

Bite the finger and run trick.

The old rabies trick. Yeah...

Maybe you are the chosen one. Yeah.

As Team Navy are chosen by the goddess Durga

and her reincarnated rats...

Oh, is this the temple?

Yeah, this is it.

Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you very much.

OK, let's go, thank you.

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

..there might also be a second chance at life in the competition

for Team Gold.

I don't want this to come down to chance at all.

If we come last tonight,

there's every possibility, or a one-in-three chance, to be specific,

that I go home, which just doesn't sit well with me at all.

But we have a plan.

Boss, do you speak English? Yeah, yeah.

Can you help us do this?

We need to do this as quickly as possible.

As quickly as possible.

We're in a race.

Let's go, let's go. Can you come with us?

Yeah. OK, thank you, legend.

What's your name?

Marin. Saxon.

We need to get through this temple

and hot-foot it to that escape zone as quick as possible.

We're here for this legend. Oh!

Look at these guys.

My God, they don't even move.

They're not scared of humans at all.

Let's move.

OK.

There's the other team. Where?

There's the other team. They're leaving.

Move.

Seeing the team in front of us was the coolest feeling ever.

To know that we're still in this, that we could potentially

claw our way out of last place once again, it's unbelievable.

In second place, Team Navy are still at the Karni Mata Temple

after an earlier fuel break slowed them down.

And, unbeknownst to them, Team Gold have made up valuable time,

which means the teams are now neck and neck.

There's the other team. Where?

There's the other team, just in front of us.

Alright, they're literally just leaving around the same time.

Hey, Tylen, fancy seeing you guys here.

Hey!

I'm loving the red...

You guys copied me from yesterday.

You loved my red so much.

We were so certain that Gold was, like, a substantial leg behind us

but we ended up seeing them.

Which is not funny, actually,

because I feel like, if it had to be someone going home, it'd be me.

Three days, 683 kilometres, the longest race so far,

and the final part of the Indian journey

takes us to northern Rajasthan, the largest state in India.

God, it's in the middle of nowhere.

That's why I'm wondering if this is it.

Far out.

We got a while, a little bit to go.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

With a legacy of powerful kingdoms,

it is home to many forts and palaces including Gajner Palace.

Spread over 6,000 acres, this jewel of the far desert

(RELAXED MUSIC)

Ooh, that's good.

Three escape vehicles wait to take the teams to the next country

and the next big adventure,

but, with one seat short,

for one person, the Rush is about to be over.

(SOARING MUSIC)

Team Scarlet!

He's got a smile, that's a good sign.

Team Scarlet, you're the first team to arrive.

Yeah, hat-trick! Hat-trick!

Come in, guys, well done.

Hat-trick, we wanted that, didn't we?

That was our goal. Yep.

Very impressive. What's the secret?

I think the extra blessing today at the rat...at the rat temple.

He was down in the rats' milk.

He was gonna drink it.

He put it on his face.

Yeah, the guy was drinking it.

Well, your skin looks lovely. Thank you.

Dewy, glowy.

New skin routine, actually, Dave.

Let me remind you later.

You guys are getting pretty close here, right?

Like, there's some good bonding going on.

Are you using that as fuel to keep you going?

Yes. What's keeping you going?

What's keeping you positive?

What's keeping me going are these two morons keeping me going,

and I have to drag them over the line, Dave, it's hard.

Someone has to do it.

Lucky I'm here, rose between two thorns, I think it is.

Team Scarlet, jump in your escape vehicles

and I will see you in the next country.

Yeah!

Wherever that might be.

Don't start slackin' now. Ah, I wouldn't dare!

And there's no rats in these ones for you.

Good, good. Oh, there better not be.

I don't know if Hamish is happy about that or not.

Eh... (LAUGHTER)

I'll be needing medical after the rat milk.

The missus is never gonna kiss me again.

No, never!

The blessing must have worked

as Team Scarlet escaped first for the third time in a row,

leaving teams Navy and Gold battling to avoid eliminations.

Both teams are still at Deshnoke after leaving the Karni Mata Temple,

a tourist hotspot that receives a few thousand visitors per day,

which means securing transport out

is going to be quite tricky for both teams.

Do you know where a taxi is?

No. No taxis around here?

This race is so close.

Being neck and neck with Navy

is like, oh, my gosh, it's like mental torture.

We basically were just walking around town

trying to figure out how we could get a taxi.

And with only 2,540 rupees left,

it's going to make this even harder for Team Gold.

I feel like we have to start walking out of this area.

Taxi. Taxi?

Taxi!

How many minutes?

Argh!

Catching a taxi, it was mayhem,

we were just runnin' around like headless chooks, aye,

up and down the streets asking everyone.

It was a struggle.

OK.

Can you tell this driver sitting in there

we will give him 8,000 to take us there?

8,000! Just tell him.

'Cause we need to go.

We're in a race, otherwise we go home.

Do you understand?

It's not very often that I get, like, cranky at, like, situations.

But I have so much pressure

that we are in the exact same place as Team Gold.

Is that a taxi?

Trying to hail taxis, my heart was like doo-doo-doo-doo.

I really did not want to come last today.

Oh, no.

Here, here, here, look.

Having been thrifty throughout,

Team Navy have plenty of money to offer the drivers.

Eight grand tonight, yeah, yeah.

(BLEEP).

But money is not enough

to persuade them to cancel their pre-booked customers.

But can you call?

Maximum, ten minute more.

More?

Ten minute more?

I cannot let Gold get in a taxi before us.

Like, it is make or break right now.

Oh, this is a taxi.

Is this a taxi?

We need to go to Gajner Palace.

Gajner?

OK.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh!

Team Gold's got a taxi.

No, what?

Yeah, Team Gold have found a taxi.

SOFIA: We're gonna lose. One of us is going home.

(TENSE MUSIC)

With Team Scarlet having already made it to the escape zone

in first place, the battle for that coveted second place is on

between Team Navy and Team Gold if they want to avoid elimination,

so Team Navy is desperately awaiting a taxi

that is, apparently, on the way.

Please, be honest. Is he coming or not coming?

Yeah, it's coming. How long?

Five minute more. Dude, come on.

We need a cab but there's nothing.

It was so frustrating.

And, on top of that, we just saw Team Gold talking to one

so I was like, "Guys!"

Like, it is make or break right now.

With only 2,500 rupees left, Team Gold is haggling with a taxi driver

to take them to the escape zone 42 kilometres away.

Gajner Palace. Gajner Palace.

Gajner Palace? Gajner Palace.

OK. How much?

How much? How much?

It's this guy we're talking to.

3,000. 3,000, no, no.

We can't do 3,000.

1,5, only 3,000.

We can't do that. We don't have that money.

Boss, look at this.

This is all the money that we have left, and we need to get there.

We need to get there, we're in a race.

Please, 500, 1,500, that's 2,500.

What about the change? Please.

Hang on, there's change.

What if I give you these gold rings? No, no, only 3,000.

We don't have any more.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

Hey?

3,000. I can't...

This is all of our money.

OK, well, then, we're gonna have to keep walking.

We just don't have the money. That's...simple.

OK, sorry, we don't have that money.

We have to keep going, let's go.

Argh!

Here, here, here, here, here.

(WHISTLES) Oh, we ready?

My boy, I'm so happy to see you, let's go.

Let's go!

Hello, Sofia speaking.

DG?

Team Navy escaped elimination again?

Great night, have a great night, bye-bye.

I am so relieved.

Let's go!

Uh-oh.

There they are.

Yep.

(BLEEP).

That's it.

Send me home.

So annoying.

All we needed was an extra few hundred.

I know.

I mean, it's frustrating

'cause then you start thinking about, you know,

the extra little things

you might not have spent money on that could've got you there.

Oh!

That bloody dress.

If only we had've done something different,

both in terms of price and time.

Felt it.

I didn't say it, I should've pushed for it

and now there's one in three chance that I go home.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(WACKY LAUGHTER) Team Navy!

Oh, my God! Get in here.

I don't know why I'm so happy to see you!

(LAUGHTER) Yay!

Hey, mate. Great job.

Oh, it's so good to see you.

Hey, mate. Oh!

Well, Sofia, you seem to be smiling.

Tell me about your day.

I'm just so stoked that we are not last.

Basically, all the teams were, like, neck and neck the entire three days,

so we were pretty nervous,

especially this afternoon, trying to catch a cab.

That was really tricky from where we were

but, yeah, it was just... it was just hustle time.

Oh, good.

Now, you lost a team member in Jordan.

Do you feel like you've collected yourselves

and really pushed through this time in India?

We've definitely all gotten very, very close.

We have.

I guess the Team Navy love is definitely there at the moment.

Yeah, for sure. Fantastic.

Well, Team Navy, on my right here is your escape vehicle.

There's a seat for each of you.

So, jump on in and I'll see you in the next country.

Thank you! We love you! Thanks, David.

Wherever that might be.

Great job, guys.

Are we going in for the hug? Yes, please.

Bye-bye, thank you, David.

Keep going strong, mate. Well done.

Thank you. Well done.

(SOFIA SQUEALS)

Whoo-hoo!

Bye, guys. Oh, we did it!

Oh, right. Oh!

That's right.

Oh, my God. (BLEEP).

Sorry, technical difficulty. (BLEEP).

Bye-bye. You guys alright there?

Do you need a push? (LAUGHTER)

Can you push us, please? Let me just...

We need a push!

(LAUGHTER)

We can't have you hangin' around.

Come on, DG! Let's go!

Put your back into it, babe! Oh, yeah!

(LAUGHTER)

There we go.

Thanks, Dave. Goodnight!

Bye-bye! Bye.

(TOOTS HORN)

That's how it's done, right?

(EERIE MUSIC)

After finally finding a driver to take them,

Team Gold have arrived last at the escape zone.

(MUSIC BUILDS)

Team Gold.

(MUSIC FADES)

You found me but, unfortunately, it's a little too late.

We thought.

You're the last team to find me at the escape zone,

so someone in your team is going home today.

What went wrong?

Just some bad luck, particularly at the end.

We also made some not-so-great decisions.

We can't just blame luck.

We got a dress yesterday for the wedding, and the alterations

were meant to take an hour and they took an hour and a half.

An hour for alterations on a sari?

Yeah, and that was a bad decision.

We should've just said, "Nah, we'll take it the way it is."

We've been clawing our way back or trying to.

Yeah, we came so close.

Did you guys enjoy the time alone? Yeah.

It was really special to get the opportunity to just hang with Lola.

We have obviously delved a little bit past the point of friendship.

So, do you think that's the reason why you guys are standing here now?

It's one of the reasons, for sure.

I think, yeah, partially, yeah.

Saxon, do you hope you're not going tonight?

This is the best adventure I've ever been on and I don't want it to end.

I want to be on the next leg, I want to be on every leg thereafter

and I want to have $100,000 in my hand when I go home.

Lola, what about you?

I definitely don't want to go home.

I just feel like I've come out of my shell more and, the last few legs,

I've really just felt, like, that excitement and the challenges.

Like, it's so challenging

but, if life's not challenging, I don't think it's giving you much.

Well, Team Gold, I warned you not to come last but here we are.

Without CK here, neither of you get to make a decision.

It will all come down to chance.

It's time for fate to decide with a game of Rush Roulette.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Oh, my goodness.

What is this? I don't know.

In my hand are three smoke flares, two green and one red,

and, just like a traffic light,

if you get a red, your journey stops here.

So, let's take a chance.

It's time for fate to decide with a game of Rush Roulette.

In my hand are three smoke flares, two green and one red,

and, just like a traffic light,

if you get a red, your journey stops here.

The Rush is over.

So, let's take a chance.

Lola.

Do I just pick it?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Saxon.

Stop!

This one I'm holding right here will represent CK.

I'm gonna be sick.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(MUSIC BUILDS)

(SMOKE BLASTS)

She lives.

Wow.

Congratulations, Lola.

Thank you.

Your journey continues.

It's in the hands of the gods now.

Hindi gods. The Hindi gods.

Alright.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Saxon, I'm gonna light your flare.

Good luck. Thanks.

(MUSIC BUILDS)

Oh!

(EERIE MUSIC)

That sucks.

Journey's come to an end.

It's just gut-wrenching.

Not just gut-wrenching because of the 100 grand

but because of the adventure yet to come that I'll be missing out on.

How are you feeling, mate?

I'm devastated but I'm so happy to have been afforded the opportunity.

I've had such a groovy ride, it's been awesome,

and to have been placed in Team Gold, and I hope one of them wins.

That's a great way to look at it.

Is there anything you would've done differently

if you had the shot again?

Picked that flare, bro.

You kinda did. I know, I couldn't resist.

Lola, how are you feeling?

I feel devastated that Saxon's going home.

He's been my rock throughout this whole thing 'cause, you know,

the first night, first leg was not easy for me in any way,

and I don't think I would've come this far

without Saxon on this journey.

So, it's...yeah, devastating to see him go.

Well, I think Lola's gonna miss you but I'm gonna miss you, too.

But, unfortunately, the Rush is over.

The Rush is over.

I'll let you say your goodbyes.

OK. See ya.

Ohp!

I'll see you soon. Yep.

Can I say goodbye to you, as well?

Of course you can.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Come here, man. Thanks, bro.

Well done.

Lola, as you can see, your escape vehicle is over there.

Tonight, it's just you. I know.

So, get goin' and I'll see you in the next country.

See ya. Wherever that might be.

Yes, I'm hoping cold. With a very relieved CK.

Thank you.

(SOARING MUSIC)

Ah!

I definitely didn't want to see Saxon go.

It's devastating.

I don't rely too much on other people in life

but I'm really grateful to have had him.

I could see there being potential

for this budding romance to continue.

But, now that he's gone,

I'm really excited to show that Team Gold is just as strong as ever

even with two team members,

and I'm just really excited for the next country.

Let's bring on the next adventure.

I got her number. I'll be using it. You did?

Yeah, I did, it's right here.

You had to write it down old-school.

She wrote it down with a love heart at the end, you want to see?

"In case one of us goes home today..."

Her number. "Message me". Love heart.

I'd say that's a fairly good sign, my friend.

I think so, yeah.

Next time on Rush...

Street party, baby, street party.

From a banging party in Bangkok...

It's party central here, proper.

..to a bat-crazy mission...

I heard there might be snakes.

..in Thailand's southern jungle.

Don't they carry, like, malaria?

Yeah, don't let them bite ya.

With the cunning CK back in the game...

I play so dirty, I don't care. I'm here to win.

..it's our biggest... Go, go, go, go, go.

..most dramatic episode yet...

Thailand, let's go!

..with not one,

but two favourites heading home.
