Previously on The Amazing Race Australia...

Let's frickin' go!

In the most epic adventure on earth...

My biggest fear are actually crocodiles.

..the competition went wild in Darwin.

Welcome to the race, MJ and Chelsea.

The new stowaways. 100% is a curve ball.

The Super Sikhs...

- That's it! - ..sped to victory.

And you are first team to check in.

And our stowaways proved they've got what it takes.

- Third team to check in. - Yes!

We're professional athletes, so we do like to win.

- Tonight... - Let's go catch some barra!

- ..as our NT adventure continues... - They're so slippery!

..teams race...

All three teams got there at the same time.

..straight into the lion's den.

We know how to dance, but not a Chinese lion dance.

And in their toughest challenge so far...

I could just feel my heart sinking and my stomach dropping

and I was super-super-scared.

..one team will break.

Come on, bro.

I thought I was gonna die.

The Northern Territory is as unpredictable as it is vast.

At six times the size of Victoria,

it's the land of Uluru, Kakadu and home of the 6-metre Boxing Crocodile.

And it's the setting for the eighth leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

To start the day, teams are receiving

a traditional welcome to country saltwater ceremony

from the Larrakia elders.

Seeing Jas and Jerome on that beach,

who managed to make it through to the finale last year,

was mind-blowing.

It felt like these people have just gone through

what we're going through - it was like a full circle for us.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

- Welcome to Larrakia country. - Thank you.

May our ancestors guide you and keep you safe on your journey.

Having the Indigenous people, the First Nations people,

of this country being there present, welcoming us,

was just so enlightening, and it grounded us, I felt.

- Thank you, mob. Thanks. - Thanks, Jerome. Thanks. Thanks.

And they will now start the leg in the order they arrived

at the last Pit Stop.

- Detour. - The Detour.

"Make your way to the Chung Wah Society temple..."

"..or Lazy Susan's Eating House."

A Detour is a choice between two challenges,

each with its own pros and cons.

For this Detour, teams must choose either Stomp or Chomp.

Both Detours celebrate the influence on Darwin of Chinese migrants,

who first came here in the 1800s to work the goldfields.

Teams that choose Stomp must whack on a traditional Chinese lion costume.

They must then learn and perform a complex dance routine

that's said to bring good fortune.

The dance also requires each lion

to eat a lettuce leaf through their mouth.

And when the head lion trainer is satisfied with their performance,

they'll receive their next clue.

In Chomp, teams must visit Lazy Susan's Eating House

and eat an entire barramundi

using only chopsticks.

That's three and a half kilos of fish,

including the tail, the eyes and the head.

Once their plate is clean, they'll receive their next clue.

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

- Let's do the Stomp. - Yep.

- Let's go Stomp. - OK, Stomp. Let's do some dancing.

Let's go that way, Jas.

We were under a lot of pressure today, from the very beginning.

We had come first. We need to maintain that position.

And we will do anything to win.

Katherine, let's go this way.

Go, MJ.

Katherine, come on!

One area that we're gonna continue focusing on is our communication.

Katherine! Where are you?

We're not only family but we're friends as well, so...

..being able to handle ourselves in stressful situations, I think,

is something that's really important to us.

Excuse me! Do you know where Chung Wah Society is?

Ideally, we'd love to lose the title of a stowaway team.

- I think we've just gained - a bigger target, really.

- Legend! Thank you! - OK.

The biggest thing from footy is around positivity and encouragement.

And no matter what, we've just got to try and remain focused

and support one another through the journey.

- And never give up. - Yeah.

Game's not over until the final siren.

- We'll go the Stomp. OK, let's go. - Stomp.

- Stomp. - Stomp. Definitely.

- We're gonna go do Stomp. - Up here, baby.

- We can go this way. - No, we can't go that way, baby.

I think we could be easily underestimated,

because people are, like, "Oh, she's just a dancer,"

or, "She's the princess," and...

..you know, you're a little bit nerdy,

but, actually, I think we're very competitive.

- We have to win everything we do. - Yep. We're super-competitive.

Chinese temple. Quick.

Katherine, come here. Katherine. Katherine, come here!

All three teams got there at the same time,

so we're all on level playing field.

We've seen that dance before during Chinese New Year,

so we knew this is pretty intense.

- Do you want the head or tail? - I'm taller.

You do the head. You watch the head. I'll watch the tail.

I was really trying to pay attention,

but it was quite difficult.

I hands-down automatically said, "You're the head."

- "You can be the butt." - "I'm the butt." That's for sure.

Looking at all of the moves that were part of the actual dance,

I got quite overwhelmed with it.

You reckon we can get this?

Well, we can try it.

- They'll be right behind us, babe. - Damn it!

I reckon Chomp.

- We'll do Stomp. - Oh, yeah. Stomp, 100%.

- So, what's this joint called? - Lazy Susan's Eating House.

Chung Wah Society temple.

This is such a better decision than the fish one.

Lazy Susan's, right here. Right here.

Let's do this.

Take a seat.

OK.

How big's this fish gonna be, you reckon?

- It's gonna be big. - It's alright.

That'll be for the bones.

Every other team had decided to do the other challenge.

"You must not use your hands at all

"even to remove bones from your mouth.

"Do not..."

Whoa!

- Holy chicken puff pies. - Come on. Let's go.

Eat as quick as you can.

We were provided with some chopsticks.

And with those chopsticks, we had to eat the entire fish,

eyeballs, brain and all, every last bit.

I'm trying to pick the eyeball up.

Oh! Don't even look at it.

I will vomit.

We just wanted to get the fish down

and make sure we weren't in last place.

The lion costumes were super-elaborate.

Oh, ow.

It seemed like a complicated routine.

There was, like, a lot of footwork going on.

There was this whole part that you've got to

pick up lettuce and eat it.

Everything's right. It's just getting that bit of lettuce.

Ah!

I was super-worried that this was gonna take us

a long time to pick up.

- Do you want to be back or front? - I'll go back.

You go forward?

Dolor is Australia's Usher,

so I knew I was in good hands being at the butt.

Front looked way harder, so...

..I thought, "I'm gonna take on the responsibility."

And if she can just follow along with my rhythm,

we should be alright and pass.

Learn your bit. I'll learn my bit. We'll do this together.

Smile, be happy and let's pass this, so... it's OK.

Left foot.

Left.

Which side is my left?

You need to call out "Left," so that I know what...

..what I'm... when I'm doing left.

Because I'm moving that head around.

Trying to sort of manage the head part of it,

I was getting quite confused with left and right.

Can you train yourself to just go left first?

- What? I can't hear you. - Just... it's left first, always.

The back part is just jumping. You're just jumping from side to side.

Oh, apparently I'm doing nothing in the back.

It's not that you're doing nothing. You are playing an important role!

Katherine, it's not like that.

You said all I have to do is do nothing in the back.

It's, like... all I... all I want you to do is come up with steps.

I'm trying to communicate the best way I can

and you're just taking everything way out of context.

Go to the performance area and give it a shot?

Let's do it, mate. Come on. Stay calm.

- Damn it. - Nope?

- Nup? - Alright, thank you.

- How are you feeling? - I'm feeling OK.

All you've gotta do is just do your best.

I gotta do the best bit. It's all about the head.

Yep.

Let's do it.

Yeah, I thought so.

- You missed the... flappy bits. - OK, that's fine.

Ah!

No.

Damn!

- It was me. It was me. - No, it was me.

- That first attempt... we sucked. - Was on me.

Yeah.

- Hello. - Hello, everybody.

Ni hao.

- Yeah, baby, I got it. Yep. - Yep?

Couldn't really see anything. I was just looking at the ground.

- You weren't looking at my butt? - At the... couldn't see a thing.

Couldn't see a thing.

Ready.

The head had a lot more intricate movements to worry about.

Not only was I worrying about my feet,

I had to control the mouth, grab the food.

- Spit the food out. - I'm glad I wasn't the head.

Yeah. Yeah. I was better at the head.

Oh, thank you!

- Thank you! - Thank you very much!

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

Road Block. OK.

"Who's got a sinking feeling?"

A Road Block is a task that only one team member

must choose to perform based only on a cryptic clue.

Now, the NT is the front line of Australia's national security,

with six military bases and over 5,000 uniform personnel.

So today, teams will undergo the same helicopter safety training

as our Defence Force.

This challenge will require nerves and balls of steel.

Our teams are gonna be simulating a helicopter crash in the ocean.

While holding their breath,

they'll have to unbuckle themselves

then climb out the window without any assistance at all.

I nearly forgot.

Our teams will be doing it blindfolded and upside down.

- You do. - Yeah, me.

- Got a sinking feeling. - "Evacuate from an underwater chopper."

"..from an underwater chopper to receive your next clue."

That's good. I hate being underwater, so I'll get out quick.

Good job, baby.

So I think we're in first place now.

It depends if anyone went to do the chopstick challenge.

Exactly.

- Ooh. - Come on.

Skye, keep going.

- This is the mushiest thing I've... - You are eating the easy stuff.

I don't know what that was!

Bulk fish, plus eyeballs, plus the head innards, you know,

it just doesn't make for a good time.

That was close.

- Oh. - Damn it.

- That's alright. - Alright.

- Let's try it, eh? - Yeah?

We're gonna be all day practising without trying it out.

Feeling like shit.

Why?

- You know why. - I don't know why.

I don't know what... I'm not a rea... mind-reader.

I just want to do this and get it over and done with.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, Katherine.

Katherine, that kind of talk really throws me off, you know.

Eh?

Just that one comment literally just threw me.

- Can we just stop... - I just don't want to be here now.

Because you saying that it's shit and everything really puts me off.

Some of the words that Katherine uses sometimes,

it's, like, probably not the best for me, and I become closed off.

I said I feel like shit. I didn't say everything is shit.

No, and by you saying you... I know what you're feeling.

I don't know what the hell you're feeling.

'Cause you don't talk about it.

- Look, we're just wasting energy. - Yeah. I'm not gonna move right now.

We'll just wait for you to feel better, then, and then we'll do it.

You are so dramatic, seriously.

- What do you feel shit about? - Just how you usually speak to me.

- You making those comments... - See? You tell me to talk.

- And then you just cut me off. - Well, how... how... how...

And you make me feel like everything that...

See? You're not... you're not allowing me to speak.

- Like, have some respect, mate. - No. You have some respect for me.

I'm just saying, it's how you speak...

- No. No. - See? You're cutting me off again.

Don't ask me to speak and then cut me off.

- You're not clear. - I'm not gonna do this anymore.

Unless you acknowledge what you've done, I'm not moving.

Alright. I apologise for how I speak to you.

No, you know what? Grow a pair and let's go and do this.

- You need to say, "I'm sorry." - Grow a pair, seriously.

No. Stop it. I'm not... I'm not moving. I don't care.

You don't apologise, I'm not moving.

Three, four, five, six.

Oh, come on.

We were quite puzzled as to why we're getting it wrong,

but the reality of it was...

..every single time we would watch these... watch their performance,

we would realise something else we were doing wrong.

Yes! Whoo!

- "Who's got a sinking feeling?" - That's you.

OK. It's OK.

Alright, you drive. Give me that directions.

"Who's got a sinking feeling?" Chelsea does.

What was it? Something about sinking.

And I was, like, "Chels, that's you. That's not me. I can't do it.

"I already know. It's underwater. I ain't doing it."

"If you remove your blindfold during your attempt..."

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Blindfold? - "..you will fail the challenge."

- I'm gonna be blindfolded? - Yep. You're gonna be blindfolded.

I've done a couple of Road Blocks, so it's definitely Aleisha's turn.

Even though she's a princess, she's pretty damn tough.

I need to stay calm. I need to not panic.

'Cause if I panic...

..I'm screwed.

- Oh! I'm so nervous. - But no other cars here.

- Nup. - We must be first.

It was a Road Block - I would be attempting to escape

from an underwater helicopter crash.

I'm not gonna die, am I?

- Upside down and blindfolded. - Ugh!

- I love you. - I love you.

Oh, oh.

I know you can do it. Just take your time.

I could just feel my heart sinking

and my stomach dropping and I was super-super-scared.

I was, like, holding back tears

as I was, like, stepping down into the pool.

It's a little concerning 'cause I'm just a bit helpless here.

But I just have to trust that she can get through it, and...

..it's hard, 'cause I know she's terrified.

I was just hoping that he wasn't gonna drop his guts halfway through.

- Yes! - Thank you so much.

- We CAN cut a rug. - We CAN cut a rug.

Last beers at the bar, mate. We cut a rug then.

That's right.

- Yay! Thank you! Thank you so much. - Thank you. Mwah!

Four, five, six.

Oh, come on.

- Yes! Nice work. - Yes!

- Yes! - Oh! Thank you!

- Oh! Oh, my God! - Oh, my God.

I ain't doing it. Not another water challenge.

- Me today. - You.

If it's got to do with water, I should definitely take it.

"You got a sinking feeling?" You got this.

Let's go.

Aleisha's actually terrified of this challenge.

So I'm a little bit...

..worried for her.

Really scary just sitting there.

You have to get strapped in with all these different buckles

and... and straps, and you think,

"How on earth can I get out of there?"

And then they put that blindfold on and that's when my heart

was just going so fast.

Brace, brace, brace!

About to take a big breath.

Oh, she's tipped. Oh, shit.

It was like all my nightmares coming true.

Oh, Jesus.

- No, she's up. She's up! - Oh!

Oh! Good job, baby.

So proud of you, baby.

- I did it! - You did what the army does.

Give me a kiss.

Good job.

I was super-proud of her for getting it,

and on the first attempt as well.

Yeah, I'm really shaky.

"Make your way to Humpty Doo Barramundi farm."

Teams have now got to travel 30 minutes by car

from Darwin to the tiny town of Humpty Doo.

And since the NT has the largest numbers of barramundi in the country,

what better place to go than this?

Humpty Doo Barramundi farm - the largest barra farm in Australia.

And right now, I've got about 3 million of these bad boys around me.

All our teams have gotta do is catch one, live, with their bare hands.

One team member will jump into the pond

while the other stays on land with a net.

They've only gotta grab one of these slippery little suckers,

put it in the net and then they'll receive their next clue.

Sounds pretty easy, huh?

Come to Daddy. Hey. Oi!

Here, fishy, fishy. Oh, ***!

Sorry about the language.

They're very sharp as well.

Oh! ***!

Oh, my gosh. I didn't know if I could do it, babe.

I'm so proud of you.

Doing well today - if we keep going at this pace,

don't let anyone pass us, it's first place.

- Oh, my God. - Our first first.

- Oh! - OK.

To be underwater in a helicopter

and have to escape, like, just holding my breath,

just being in that moment, like, there is no... like...

..I... I don't... I've got no words.

You got this, Chels.

I definitely much prefer sitting in this chair than that chair.

Brace, brace, brace!

Here we go. Alright, start breathing. Now breathing.

It's a weird sensation.

You're just feeling the water

basically coming up higher and higher.

- Yoo! Yeah! - Whoo!

- That's the way! - Oh! That was weird.

Alright. Here we go.

"Make your way to Humpty Doo Barramundi farm."

That was brilliant.

I'm like a little hoover.

Can we please get it checked?

- Well done, guys. - Thank you very much.

"Who's got a sinking feeling?"

I guess I do.

Dwes and Katherine are sitting down over there.

- That's good. - And the boys are still there.

When we were collecting our car, we had noticed

that Dwes and the Sikhs were sitting off towards

where the lion dancing was.

Right, in the back, in the middle. Ready?

- Arms up. - Up.

Oh, gross. Where's that water?

"Yes! Alright, sweet. We're... we're not last." Which was great.

I'm not talking.

She's just walked away. So I don't know what's going around in her head.

I communicate everything I think in my head.

It may not be the best thing, but sometimes I feel like we have to,

because how does she know what I'm thinking?

I don't know nothing about what she's feeling and thinking.

I'm at the point of, like, I need to be met halfway,

you know, as a team member.

He's so stubborn and... he just thinks everything is right.

You know. Whatever he says is right.

And I've just had enough.

Seven legs, I've had to put up with it, and I've just had enough.

- You do the work, bro. - Huh?

You do the work.

Not our type of thing around... around water and that sort of thing.

Mate, I was petrified. I was... I was scared.

Hello?

I don't think there could have been a more perfect challenge

for me - I was feeling pretty strong heading to this Road Block.

Remember to breathe, dude.

Keep it calm, brother.

Get it done.

Take a breath, man.

Get it done, brother.

Come on, bro.

I was struggling.

Looks like he might need a bit of help.

I thought, "Am I gonna die out here?"

Take a breath, man.

Looks like he might need a bit of help.

So I, um, bailed out on that one.

- You alright, bud? - Couldn't find the window.

You couldn't find the window?

- I'm sorry. - No dramas.

You will need to go to the back of the queue.

- You'll smash this next one, bro. - Yeah, yeah.

You'll be alright, man.

Well, we got sent back to the back of the line.

Amanda and Ashleigh were there.

You got this, Amanda.

Yes, girl! You did it.

Whoo-hoo!

- Thank you. - Congratulations.

"Make your way to Humpty Doo Barramundi farm."

Bye, everyone!

He's gonna get buckled in here again

and go back down for his second attempt.

Keep it calm, brother.

You got it, dude.

Let's go.

I'm a stronger swimmer than Dolor,

so I was always gonna do all the water challenges.

I'm happy to sit back while she sinks, for sure.

- There you go. Get 'em, tiger! - Ow!

- Oh, sorry. Sorry. Did that hurt? - Oh. Yeah.

I was trying to encourage you.

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

That challenge was the toughest challenge

I've had to face in this race so far - absolutely petrified me.

Starting to really freak out a bit.

I wasn't gonna let Brendon down. I just kept pushing meself.

I just had that one goal in mind and just kept going.

Yeah, buddy! Yoo-hoo!

Good stuff, man.

Yeah, it was good. It was challenging.

Something that I'm not gonna do again, but...

We're on now.

"Make your way to Humpty Doo Barramundi farm."

- Humpty Doo. - Humpty Doo.

Come on, Jordan!

Yes! Well done!

Go, Holly. You got this.

That's my baby. Whoo!

"Make your way to Humpty Doo Barramundi farm."

Thank you.

One, two, three. Move forward. Four.

Five, six. And hold.

Come back.

- But you're getting the mouth right? - Think I'm getting the mouth right.

Do you want to check that again?

He's picking up

through the mouth, not below.

Hold on a second.

We're not really doing what the mouth should be doing.

Are we really grabbing the lettuce correctly?

He's putting his hand through the mouth.

- That's it. - Through the mouth. Grab it.

That's what we were doing wrong, so once we realised that,

then we knew we were on the right track.

- Thank you. - Yes! We've made it out.

- Come on. - Let's catch up now. Come on.

That's all it was, bro. That's all it was. We got there at the end.

Road Block.

"Who's got a sinking feeling?"

You... I think you got this.

I believe in you. You're gonna do it. Let's go.

- Dwes, what's wrong? - Dwes, get up. Dwes, get up.

As Sikhs, Anurag and I have always been brought up with

a simple foundation, that we never leave anyone behind.

Get up, mate. Come on. You got this. Dwes, get up.

- No, don't, don't, don't. - No, no, Dwes. Dwes.

- Do you know how many times we tried? - No, I just need time.

Dwes, look at us. You've got this.

Every single person right now is talking about

how strong you guys are.

This is your leg. If there's any leg in NT, this is your leg.

We believe in you, dude. Think about how amazing you've been doing.

Bro, that last leg could have been yours.

You came second by that much.

Can you give me a hug before I go?

One hug, Dwes. Come on. You know you want to.

- Come on. Give me a hug. - Give us a hug. Get up. Come on.

- Get up. - Alright.

Three, two, one.

- Ugh! - Come on, guys.

Alright, give me a hug. Alright?

Just to even stop and take some time out of their time that they've lost

to give and invest into me to try and get me across the line,

I... I don't know how to really repay that favour.

And I can genuinely see their beautiful human spirit there.

I don't know, Katherine. Are you ready for an attempt?

Yeah. Let's just do this and get out of here.

Back, back, back.

We don't have no hate or malice.

It's just who we are as cousins, and we're always like this.

I'm sure, you know, people can relate

to having these kind of challenging conversations

with people that they're... closest to.

- She puts up with a lot with me. - Anyway, stop talking.

I felt like a lot of weight just lifted off my shoulder,

a lot of that stress and pressure, and...

..I was so relieved.

Thank you so much.

Good work.

Road Block.

"Who's got a sinking feeling?"

- Do you want to do it? - I'll do it.

Katherine, come on!

Our next clue was to go catch some barra

with just our hands and gloves on.

If you get it straightaway, babe...

- Oh, shit! - ..you could be out of there.

- Holy shit! - Yep. Come on.

- Oh! One's got me on the foot. - Do they hurt?

Don't know.

- Booties. - Oh, yep.

We're really, really proud to be, I guess, strong, independent females

and just showing that any young girl

can, if they want to put their mind to it,

you know, they can achieve anything.

- Alright, you grab the net. OK. - Awesome.

Look how big this net is!

That means we're catching a massive barramundi today.

Yes! Let's go catch some barra!

Get straight in there, girl.

So the girls have just jumped in, babe, and they seem like...

..she's not struggling at all with the walking part.

Holy shit!

Chris was just sort of very slow.

Ooh! Good job, baby. Oh, I can't put it in the water.

- Sorry. - Arggh!

Sorry. Did that hurt?

Get him! Oh, go, go, go! Bring him to me, to me!

- OK. - Bring him to me!

Oh, what are you doing?

Oh, get him!

I need to watch the vision,

'cause I don't know what I did or what happened.

Score review, please.

Whoo!

Yes!

When I heard that cheer, that's when your heart

starts to beat, 'cause you're, like, "My gosh! They've got it."

We were gonna lose our lead.

You're just really taking it slow.

Pressure's on now. We really have to get this.

I am relaxed! Stop!

- We can't lose this place. - Oh!

Oh, get him! Whoo!

Yes!

- Oh! - Come on. Get some grit.

Good job.

Good job, babe. Good job, babe.

Use all your strength to put him in. Good job. Oh!

It was literally, like, I caught my fish

and then Chris was, like, "Bam. Here's mine."

Thank you, thank you.

Well done.

- "Follow the map..." "..to Nev's place..."

- "Find Beau at the Pit Stop. Hurry!" - "Last to arrive may be eliminated."

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

At the end of an unassuming dirt road, in this unassuming house,

you'll find one of Humpty Doo's most famous residents,

the world's loudest burper, Nev Sharp.

Welcome to Humpty Doo.

And he's fired up the barbie to welcome us to town.

And it's the perfect place to have the Pit Stop

of the eighth leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

That's a nice sausage, Nev.

Nice.

This one, this one, this one. Let's go.

- This is our car? - Yeah.

It's OK. It's OK. Zip up. Zip up. Don't lose anything.

You want to chuck that stuff in the boot?

Nah. Nup.

- OK, so, you know where we're going? - Yes, I know where we're going.

- So go back the way we came. - Straight ahead, baby. Keep going.

- Straight ahead. Yep. Cool, cool. - And then go left.

Oh.

Crazy, man.

- We do like to win. - We do.

We're competitive. We don't like to lose.

Oh, my gosh.

Hello!

I get in the water and there's these spiny, scaly barramundi everywhere.

They're so slippery!

- Good? - Go.

On our way in to the barramundi farm,

we were talking about who was gonna go out and catch 'em

and who was gonna stay on the edge.

- You right? - Yeah, bro.

It's a water challenge. I mean, I'm not water. I'm land.

- Here, look, there's one behind ya. - Where?

Yeah, just swim around. Like a shark.

That's him. Get hold of him. Where'd he go?

Oi-ya! Free Willy.

- Oh, my God, I got it! - Grab it, grab it, grab it!

- Hang onto it, Amanda. - I can't reach.

Wrestle that fish.

You got this. You got this. Hang onto it.

Yes, Amanda.

- Yes! Yes! - That's it, that's it, that's it.

Yes!

Whoo!

"Follow the map to Nev's place and find Beau at the Pit Stop.

"Hurry! The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

- Yes! - Let's go!

Nev's place, by the looks of it, is on the right-hand side.

We really wanted to win today

and make our South Australian family really proud of us.

Oh, yeah, baby.

Whoo!

Is this a road? Slow down a little.

Oh, I just saw it.

Yes, we wanted to win this leg.

- That looks like it to me. Yep. - And are we going in?

OK. Go, go, go.

OK, let's go.

Oh! Oh! Oh, my God!

Round this way.

- Good job, baby. I'm so proud of you. - I'm so proud of you too.

- Welcome to Humpty Doo. - Thank you.

MJ and Chelsea, you are first team to check in!

Come on!

Oh, yeah!

Awesome.

- You've also got a First Class Pass. - Whoo!

- Know what that is? - Yes.

I think we get to go away somewhere and have a good time.

The main thing is, you won't be competing in the next leg

and you can't get eliminated.

Brilliant.

You'll also be going somewhere special.

- You deserve it. - Thanks.

Also... you'll be waiting with me on the mat

for the final two teams to check in to serve

both a Salvage and a Sabotage.

A Salvage will give a team a massive advantage

and a Sabotage will severely slow a team down.

You have to make a decision.

And you have to pick out of those two bottom teams.

Hopefully, it doesn't bite us in the bum.

Hey, guys.

Chris and Aleisha, you are second team to check in.

- Yes. OK. OK. - Yoo!

First place was this close, so... bit bittersweet today.

Bittersweet.

- Well done. - Thanks.

- Thanks, Beau. - Thank you.

I was super-keen to get in there.

But we had the Super Sikhs right behind us,

and then right behind them was Dwes and Katherine,

which are two pretty strong teams for this leg of the race,

and I just wanted to make sure I aced it.

Don't forget to take a breath, Jake.

- How'd you go? - Yep, aced it.

Yes!

You ready to get out of here, you'll need one of these.

Thank you very much, mate. Appreciate it.

So, what am I looking for, then?

Barramundi farm. It's on this road somewhere.

We'll see signage for it.

Yeah, this is it. Let's catch this fish quick, V.

What, the Cowboys are still here?

I thought they would have been really good at this.

- So slippery. - Yeah, they would be.

- Do you want to have a go? - You're joking!

- You'll be better in there. - Oh, yeah.

The person who can't swim.

Come on, quick. Go, go.

How am I meant to find fish in here?

The only time I've seen barramundi is at the restaurant

when you order it for dinner.

I've never seen a live barramundi

or been in the presence of...

..a jumping, swimming barramundi.

Might be dangerous, but I'm a fearless man.

Looking over and seeing Dolor jumping around

and yahooing and squealing, carrying on...

..that was a bit of a laugh.

Oh!

Yes, I got one! Get the net!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, I got it here.

Yes!

I went in there...

..screamed a little bit

but then caught the fish.

- Only a little bit. - Only a little bit.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Can someone check?

Yes!

"Follow the map to Nev's place..."

"Find Beau at the Pit Stop. Last team to arrive may be eliminated."

You got this, bro.

We were really scared.

I mean, we came into this leg thinking we wanted to come first.

All of a sudden, we're stuck at the back.

You got this, bro. I believe in you.

There was a split second where I started panicking

when I was underwater,

but that's where I had to just stay calm,

unclip that belt and just escape.

Well done, bro! Well done! Yes!

Reflecting back on our journey,

I think Katherine and I, we've grown so much during The Amazing Race.

Katherine is strong and she is the muscles in our little group,

and I feel like she can smash this.

Hopefully, we'll get in front and make up some of our lost time.

Come on, Kath. You got this.

I'm obviously a confident swimmer.

So I actually didn't feel too bad about this Road Block.

Brace, brace, brace!

I thought I had all of my breaths timed.

But then I was just thrown off in the end...

..and took one big breath in and managed to take heaps of water in.

I thought I was gonna die.

Come on, Kath.

Think she actually swallowed some water when she was going down.

I just don't know if I can do that again.

Honestly, I thought I was gonna die, 'cause...

..you think, like, they're gonna help you straightaway and then...

You can... you can do it. You definitely can.

In my mind, I know that if I don't complete the Road Block

that we're gonna face a penalty at Pit Stop,

but I'm struggling to get past this and I just need to do it.

So do you think you can go back?

If you don't feel comfortable doing it,

then I'm not gonna push you to do it.

But we need to make a decision now, then,

because we're discussing this here and it's just taking up our time.

'Cause we don't know what the penalty might be, one hour, 30 minutes.

What do you... what do you want to do?

- Yeah, I can't do it. - You can't do it?

I made the tough decision to just not do the Road Block at all.

I just couldn't get past it mentally that...

..you know, I could go down and do that again.

Katherine? Are you gonna have another go?

- No. - Here's your next clue.

Thank you.

However, you will receive a time penalty at Pit Stop.

- Good luck. - Thank you.

"Make your way to Humpty Doo Barramundi farm.

"Catch a barra with your hands to receive your next clue."

Alright, let's go.

You know, obviously, us being familiar with Darwin

and knowing the places, hopefully, other people are lost

going to Humpty Doo, 'cause it's a fair drive.

Just hoping we can make up time so that our time penalty at the end

isn't too bad.

Which way did you turn on the highway, Skye?

Left.

But we're supposed to be going the other way.

I just need some help in knowing where we are.

Today was a very hard leg in terms of travel.

We're not heading in to Humpty...

I'm asking you, do you want me to turn around?

We got lost, and we got proper lost.

Dude, where's the Arnhem Highway? The Arnhem Highway's the other way.

As we're heading there, we're looking around for the signs

for barra farm, not seeing any signs.

We're, like, "Maybe we're going the wrong way."

It seems like Humpty Doo is a whole area

and the middle point, which is the exact address,

is actually the other direction.

We lost about 20 minutes, 20 or 25 minutes,

and then we knew that could potentially mean us being last.

So, Skye, obviously, Dwes and Katherine do have the advantage

of knowing the area, so... I'm pretty worried right now.

Oh, the Cowboys are here.

Dwes, get in there and show them how to do it, man.

Yeah. Come on. Let's do this. Let's just... you go with the net.

Yep.

Then I'll just go and rip that thing with whatever strength I've got

and rip it out of the water.

I wasn't too sure what to really expect.

But I think I was just, like, in the moment now

where we just need to smash a challenge, we need to get one out.

Can't corner 'em, bro.

I can definitely feel all the fish swimming around my legs

and under my arms and everything.

You got one?

Yes!

Dwes just comes straight in there, reaches down, grabs it,

pulls it out - I reckon he pulled it out of his pants, mate.

- Yes! Yes! - Whoo-hoo!

Thank you.

That's a record, bro.

We never thought we'd be in this position,

obviously, overtaking a few teams

and then being able to get back into the race.

And now we're just on our way to Pit Stop.

Yeah, I'm pretty concerned about

this penalty we're gonna face at Pit Stop.

So just hoping that those teams get caught up at the last challenge

gives us a bit more time.

Oh, man.

Good job, Brendon!

"Find Beau at the Pit Stop. Last team to arrive may be eliminated."

Beautiful.

Let's do it.

Ashleigh and Amanda, you are... third team to check in.

- Yes! - Good effort.

- Good effort. - Thank you.

Today was a great day. I feel like we're back in our game.

We're... we're in the right headspace. And we were having fun.

- Well done. Yeah. - Whoo!

- Thanks. - Thank you!

- Let's go. - Right down here.

Right here.

Holly and Dolor.

You are...

..fourth team to check in.

Arriving fourth at the Pit Stop was amazing.

And this is the best we've done out of all the legs.

- Jordan and Violeta. - Hey, Beau.

- You are... fifth team to check in. - Good job. That's alright.

We're here.

Katherine! Come on!

Yes!

Dwes and Katherine, you are...

..the sixth team to arrive.

However, you did not complete the Road Block.

So you now face a 30-minute penalty.

Please stand behind the girls.

Today has been, like, one big bipolar day.

Like, we went from one extreme to the other.

And now... my mind was racing against time.

- Let's go, bro. Yep. Let's go. - Are you good?

It's just been an emotional roller-coaster.

Some days, you do really well in the leg

and then other days you don't, so...

Due to our time penalty,

we have to wait for other teams to arrive

before we can be checked in.

Brendon. Jackson.

You are seventh team to arrive. Sixth team to check in.

It was quite stressful

not knowing where the other teams were.

And now it was a race against time for us.

There's a sign coming up.

- Fogg Dam? - Fogg Dam. Go there.

So lucky.

Catching the barramundi, I just wanted to get in the water,

get that fish and make sure we weren't in last place.

I wasn't feeling super-confident

because we'd just downed one of their friends

and I imagine fish, you know...

- Hold grudges. - ..hold grudges a little bit.

- What? - Ugh!

- Did one swim you in the nuts? - Yep.

Are you OK?

Nope.

I had to stop and take a minute and reassess the situation.

Holy...

I need to get my rashie, so take this.

- You got my rashie in your hand? - In your hand. Take it.

We were very worried about coming last at this point.

- Jake, the Sikhs have just got here. - Let's just focus on what we're doing.

Super Sikhs did happen to rock up,

which did put the pressure on a little bit.

Nearly had it, bro. Nearly had it.

I knew it was gonna be difficult,

but I didn't think it would be as difficult as it was.

I've got one. I've got one.

Oh!

Down.

Really good, Anurag. Very, very good. That's it, bro.

You know you can do it.

- God! - Jake, I can't go any lower!

There were several fish that I caught

and just couldn't get them out of the water quick enough.

- You yelled at me too. - Yeah, I did.

Yes, bring it in. Bring it in.

That's as far as I can.

Catching barramundi, you can do it in a second.

You can do it in an hour.

It all comes down to how do you grab the fish?

- Bring it out a bit more? - Yes, if you can.

I can't climb this. I can't climb this.

- You're not gonna lose him? - Nup.

Up, up.

- It's on your leg. It's on your leg. - Come on!

Yes!

- Thanks, brother. - Thank you so much!

OK. "Follow the map to Nev's place."

"And find Beau at the Pit Stop.

"Hurry! The last team may be eliminated."

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

We know exactly where we sort of have to head

to get to the Pit Stop,

and it was a race to the finish.

We just had to make sure that we beat the Sikhs there.

This is the last leg. We know... we're following the map.

Let's keep following that, let's get there and let's run.

We're not going home today. We're not ready to go home yet, baby.

- Right? - Yep.

Nice work, Skye. Great work.

Go, go.

Oh, hello, puppy! Are you gonna show us the way?

I wasn't too sure where we were placed.

I was still holding on to some hope

that we weren't actually coming last.

Skye-Blue and Jake.

You are...

..the eighth team to arrive.

- To arrive, but are we checked in? - But the seventh team to check in.

- Oh! - Yes!

Jaskirat and Anurag, you are...

..the ninth team to arrive, but...

..you're the eighth team to check in.

So that makes Dwes and Katherine the last team to check in.

So, Dwes and Katherine, please step on the mat.

Because this is a predetermined non-elimination leg...

..no-one's going home.

However...

..the girls, MJ and Chelsea,

will both be serving a Salvage,

which will give someone a massive advantage,

and a Sabotage, which is gonna slow someone down.

Girls?

It's pretty gut-wrenching and pretty hard,

I won't deny it - that's probably the hardest thing

I've had to do all day.

Uh, we've obviously only had two days to work out who you guys are.

We can see it that you guys are such a big threat,

you've obviously won a leg,

so, unfortunately, we're giving you the Sabotage.

With our Salvage, we're giving it to Katherine and Dwes.

We know that obviously they've been eliminated before.

Sounds like it's been a bit of a tough day.

So, hopefully, that can keep you guys going.

It's just been one massive day,

and then we get the Salvage,

and it's just sort of, like, "Oh, my God. We're still here."

It was like the cat that never dies.

Very lucky, you guys. Very, very lucky, you two.

And well done, everyone.

You're still alive, you're still alive, and you're in the lead.

Go have a rest.

Coming in and winning a leg

and then getting a rest and a First Class Pass,

I honestly think they've painted a massive target on their back.

And you know what, it probably does us a favour,

because we knew we had a massive target on our back.

We're hoping this target shifts.

Next time on The Amazing Race Australia...

- Heading to Alice Springs! - Whoo!

When the race arrives in the Red Centre...

- Never been. - Never been.

My dad's gonna be so proud of us!

- ..the Salvage... - That's for racing.

- ..and Sabotage... - Uh-oh.

..are revealed.

This could be what sends us home.

And after the ride of a lifetime...

- Best experience on the race so far. - What the hell is going on?

- That's a tree?! - ..teams come crashing back to earth.

Whoa!

Then a new rivalry begins...

Come on, girls.

I definitely grabbed the pen before you.

He snatched it out of my hand.

I hope they're not angry at us now, but I think they hold grudges.

So they're probably angry.

You have your little victory. We'll beat you later.

- ..pushing one team... - I can't do this!

..to breaking point.

- Oh, my God. - Keep breathing, baby.
