Previously, on The Amazing Race Australia...

Go!

They've raced their way around the most beautiful country on Earth...

So cute!

Like a paradise.

..in a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The Amazing Race is the greatest adventure to be a part of.

But tonight...

Wow!

..things get tough...

I've always wanted to be in the army.

..as teams go to war.

Gunfire.

Machine guns going off. So awesome!

- And one... - Is this right?

..goes MIA.

I don't think we've come up the right spot, bro.

You're kidding!

Oi, some van's down there parked in the fricking bush.

Oh, dummies!

Hulk's mad!

And love is on the menu.

Things are about to get saucy!

I kiss Ash all the time but not on her lips.

I was already halfway on the table

and I thought I'm just going to grab him and pull him in.

Mm.

As if that ain't the best kiss you've ever had!

But in a Pit Stop calamity...

You haven't finished your Detour.

..who will bomb out?

I'm not going home.

This is Port Lincoln on the magnificent Eyre Peninsula,

South Australia.

Home to Australia's largest fishing fleet,

famous around the world for its seafood.

It's from here that the teams are about to begin

the 13th leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

Eight teams remain and they'll depart in the order

they arrived at the last Pit Stop.

"Fly back to Townsville...

"In tropical Far North...

- "Queensland." - Yes!

This will be our second visit to Townsville

for The Amazing Race Australia.

The teams are coming back to Far North Queensland

because they have some unfinished business.

And Townsville is set to deliver more twists and turns than ever before.

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

- Airport, please. - Airport, please.

- So we're going to the airport? - Yeah.

- Let's go. - Let's do it.

We're going back to the warm weather again.

I know. I can't wait. It's cold.

Townsville.

- That's sick! - Back to Townsville.

Sick!

I hope that we can keep our lead, like, when we leave the plane.

'Cause it'd be nice if we can start tomorrow morning in first.

Yeah.

Currently second position.

We've just got to keep doing what we've been doing.

Communicate well, try not to argue, see what happens.

We came from seventh to third,

so I'm still freaked out 'cause it changes like this.

It does.

Every minute.

Be prepared.

All teams will fly from Port Lincoln on the same flight to Townsville.

When the teams arrive, they must find their Apollo campervan

and drive to BIG4 camp site

and find this signup board,

which determines the order of departure for tomorrow's challenge.

It's first in, first served.

So we were leaving in first place, which is super exciting.

Let's go. Let's go.

So we just wanted to maintain our position.

Do you have a numberplate?

Just put in as much effort as we could.

- What numberplate is it? - There is no plate. Mercedes.

There's heaps of them.

We've got to go through and see which one it is.

Can you see it?

Quick, quick! Block 'em! Quick!

When we landed in Townsville, it was a race with Chelsea and MJ,

who are both in third, so we just gunned it.

- Is that us? - Beep it.

Yeah. Let's get our bags in.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Keys.

We need to work way harder.

We're sort of struggling around the back at the moment

and for $250,000 we really need to up our game.

- OK, start her up. - Yeah.

If we can jump one or two positions every leg, then that keeps us

in the race and that'll keep keeping us in the race.

Yeah.

Look for the lights.

OK, so BIG4.

Yeah, it's just there.

We were the first out of the airport

and we were the first to arrive at the caravan park.

Here.

Lock the car and take the keys then we've got to find the signup board.

OK.

Oh, there it is. Let's go, let's go!

So we signed up to leave at 5am the next morning.

We're like, where are we departing to?

Where are we parking?

We need to figure out where we're parking.

Yeah, we need to find the marked designated parking.

Follow them.

We weren't the last team to arrive at the camping ground

but there was a big bottleneck at the entrance.

Wow, I see people turning in, so when we get there,

since we're the last team - I'm not surprised.

- I'm going to race out, OK? - Yes, please.

Pull over just to the left, it's the park check-in lane.

- You see the stop sign? We can stop here. - Yeah.

- OK, do you want to run? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

OK, here we go.

Go. Go, go, go.

- You good? - Yeah.

- That looks like Chris and Aleisha. - Can you see her? Where?

Straight-ahead.

- Wait for me, babe. - I am.

You are the man.

Yeah.

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

- I'm a-going. - Let's go.

How do you feel about being last on the board?

- I feel like shit. - Yeah, we didn't plan that.

I thought everyone had to park first...

- Yeah, I thought they had to park first. - ..and then they had to sign up.

Not just get out of their car.

I guess technically it doesn't specify,

so they've legged it to the board first. What do you do?

Just stay positive, mate.

- Yeah, I'm not right now. - All good.

I feel like I have my magic wand!

Oh, my gosh.

It's literally like the night-time parade's that I would do.

- "Hello!" - Isn't it.

I think we made the right decision

'cause now we're leaving in fourth instead of seventh but we have to

because every single team left here is physically more powerful than us.

So we have to start manoeuvring like that,

- otherwise we're going to be left out. - Yeah.

Oh, my God. OK, go, go, go.

Roadblock.

A Roadblock is a challenge only one team member can choose to do

based on a cryptic clue.

In this Roadblock, teams are going back to Castle Hill,

the site of a fourth-leg challenge,

where one team member abseiled down the 100m drop

and placed their team photo on a board,

choosing either Brains or Brawn.

Today, the teammate who escaped that challenge

must conquer their fears and abseil face-first down the terrifying cliff

to collect a tag beside their photo.

"Who hasn't faced off?"

- I haven't. - OK, let's go.

Oh, it's going to be such a nice view, babe.

I knew we were coming back to Townsville for some

unfinished business.

Roadblock.

- "Who hasn't faced off?" - That's you.

"Make your way down the rock, face first."

- "Face first," what do you mean? - I don't know, that's all it says.

"Make your way down the rock, face first."

- "Rock face first." - No.

Make your way down the rock, comma, face first.

Oh.

Roadblock, straight up.

- "Who hasn't faced off?" - Me.

- Done. - Let's go.

Running down a cliff face, frontwards.

Sounds heaps of fun!

Step in here.

Oh, wait, am I...?

So Amanda and I do a lot of climbing and abseiling and stuff like that,

so I'm super stoked that now I finally got to do something badass as well.

Just don't blow past it so you have to rock climb back up.

Yeah.

I just wanted to go as fast as possible and I didn't want

to let Amanda down by being overtaken by any other teams.

- Morning, how you doing? - Hey, how are you?

- Who wants to be harnessed up? - I'll be harnessing up.

Height is something that Anurag just tries to avoid.

It's not a weakness of his, he just tries to avoid it.

So excited for you, man. This is an amazing experience.

People seem to get this thrill from it and I'm like,

"What's the need? Why?"

Hi, mate.

Heights don't bother me as such but, I mean,

I wasn't jumping out of my skin for it, I can assure you, so...

Face first? Oh, mate, I'm so excited!

You'll be fine.

These are the challenges that separate people,

so we just want to get out there and show everyone what you're made of.

- So just get Brawn, Jacko? Righty-o. - Definitely Brawn.

Got it! There's Castle Hill.

Who would have thought I have to face off now?

Whoo-hoo, I'm going abseiling face down!

Face down.

I just recommend keeping your knees slightly bent,

otherwise you could potentially face plant the wall.

Ash! Good luck!

Thanks!

It looks amazing.

It's pretty heavy because it's a long rope.

- Are you alright? - Yeah, I think so.

I was just trying to go as fast as possible

but it was super difficult because I had to like lean forward

over the cliff and run down it face-first.

It was absolutely insane.

Yes, girl!

So I was just cheering her on and hoping she didn't get hurt.

- It's going good. - Keep going, girl, keep going.

You're doing really well.

You've got a long way to go, girl. You're doing so well.

Can I use both hands?

Yeah, especially at the top, where it's harder.

Righto, cool.

Two doors!

As Stowaways, we haven't done this before,

so we had to choose either Brains or Brawn.

We had no idea what it meant but we figured Brawn was more us.

Just because we feel like physically we can do anything

and we can beat any team that's out here.

Right, take a photo.

We got the last Brawn tag,

which means it has left the other Stowaways, Stan and Wayne,

with Brains.

Roadblock. "Who hasn't faced off?"

- That's you. - Yeah. OK, let's go.

Ooh, Roadblock.

- "Who hasn't faced off?" That's yours. - I'm keen.

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

There's the hill, Wayne. She's steep.

Keen as a bean.

I love a little bit of danger.

Danger's my middle name!

Oh, I'm sorry, Holly.

I did not want to go abseiling again, I'm telling you right now.

But you're going to kill this, babe.

- I'm going to support you all the way. - Thank you.

Just double-check and ask someone, Stan,

'cause I'm not 100%. What's this sign say?

Yeah, check the signs.

There's no through road. But there's still...

To the right, bro. Yeah. Up that road.

We've never been to Townsville

and we've had a late start out of the gate 'cause we were last

and we couldn't follow anyone.

I don't think this is the right way, bro.

I think it's up this way. It just looked like a no through road.

Whoops.

Who's that?

That's Dolor and Holly.

- And we're in front of them, Wayne. - We're in front.

Take it easy, bro.

Stan and Wayne are horrible with directions.

We would never follow them, even if our life depended on it.

It was a proper road we went on last time.

- Is that a road or not a road? - It's a dirt road.

- It wasn't this way. - It wasn't this way.

I think it's just back there.

OK, yeah. They're going the wrong way.

They're on such a narrow road they can't really reverse!

Just go slow, bro.

Is this right?

Should I go up here, Wayne?

I don't think we've come up the right spot, bro.

You're kidding?

Wayne, get out and help me out.

Oh, dummies!

Oi, some van's down there, guys, parked in the fricking bush.

Why did we do this?

Stop, stop! Go forward, go forward.

This is dangerous.

Bro, hook it.

Slow. Watch this edge, bro. Just stay to that side.

- Watch out, Wayne. Watch out, Wayne. - Yeah, yeah.

Stop, stop, stop, stop! Stop!

More vertical.

Keep going, you're doing so well.

OK, the board is, like, five metres.

It's alright, it's alright. It's OK.

You're doing so well, babe. You're doing really well.

You're going good, bro, keep going.

I'll let you know when you're getting closer.

I just wanted to go as fast as possible

and I felt like I couldn't let my rope out fast enough.

You're doing really well.

It was a little bit awkward when I got to the board

but I just tried to do my best and tried to not drop the keychain.

- Yeah. - Yes, girl!

Woo!

Killing it!

Good job, babe.

- Congratulations. - Thank you so much! Thank you.

Detour - Brains or Brawn.

"Travel to Jezzine Barracks and wait for your transport."

And because I love a sense of anticipation,

teams are yet to find out what their Brains or Brawn decision means.

But first, they must race to Jezzine Barracks

and wait for their CH-47 Chinook transport.

The first four teams will secure a place on the first helicopter.

Teams that miss that will have to wait 20 minutes for the next one.

Maybe we'll lose a spot or two but we're in first place right now,

so we've got a little bit of a time lead.

We just need to win one race and that's the last one.

We've got this, babe, we've got this.

Keep coming, bro, nearly there.

Hook it. This way. Don't hit the gate.

No, no, other way, so we can go down that way.

We want to go down that way.

Oh.

I was so scared for you. That's why I got out.

He would have driven off the side of a cliff for sure.

It's what I do.

That was intense.

Oh, I was shitting bricks the whole time.

I love to challenge my vehicles, you know,

take them to their full capacity, see how far they can go.

Oh, never again!

Good job, bro. Let's get it done.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

He looked so tiny going down.

- Brendon? - Yeah.

Looks like a little dachshund running down a hill!

You got this, Anurag. Yeah, boy!

Keep going, bro. You're nearly there.

- Yeah, see it. - Yeah.

Brawns, remember. Our photo, Brawns.

- Yeah, good. - There you go.

Give it to it.

Yee hah!

Well done, Brendon!

Good job, bro!

- Congratulations. - Legend. Thank you very much.

- Well done, mate. - Thank you. Let's not do that again!

Detour.

"Travel to Jezzine Barracks and wait for your transport."

Righto. Jump in.

So Brendon completed the Roadblock

and we jumped up a place from third to second.

- That was so cool. - Yeah.

Like, I can tick that one off the list to never be done again.

Me. Thank you.

Good work, Anurag. Keep going, bro. Keep going.

Mate, you're gunning it. Perfect, dude, perfect.

Anurag, make sure you grab the Brawn tag, the Brawn.

Got it.

There you go.

How fun was that?

Good job, baby!

My voice is gone!

- Congratulations. Well done. - Thank you.

Detour. "Travel to Jezzine Barracks and wait for your transport."

Go, go, go.

At this point in time we don't know what we're doing,

we don't know how we're getting there.

We're in third place,

we need to stay there and get on the first transport.

Let's make sure we don't lose a place here.

Wow, I thought he would be terrified.

Good job, babe. I love you!

Don't miss the board, it's coming up.

Make sure you take the tag from our picture.

I loved walking down the side of a cliff

but when I got halfway down the rock face,

I saw that our picture was actually on Brawn.

I thought we agreed to choose Brain.

I... We did choose to choose Brain.

I was so sure that I'd picked Brains last time we were here.

I can't believe that I got it wrong.

Oh, I feel like such an idiot.

I'm just nervous that now we have to do a Brawn challenge

and I can't even do a push-up!

- Congratulations! - Thank you so much.

- Well done. - Thank you.

So I feel like I really let Chris down, so I feel so bad.

Detour.

"Travel to Jezzine Barracks and wait for your transport."

I'm so sorry!

I was like, we're going to catch up.

We're going to take over and then there was no Brawn left.

There was no Brawn left.

We would have definitely picked the Brawn but we got stuck with Brains.

The harness is on backwards

'cause you're going to be going down forwards, alright?

Oh, nice! Nice!

This is going to be a catastrophe.

This is going to be a long day!

Awesome job, love your work.

You're doing awesome! You're killing it!

I've got a wedgie! That's what I've got.

- Congratulations. Well done. - Thank you.

Awesome. Appreciate it, mate. Thank you.

Yes, Jake! Nice pace, nice pace.

Really proud of you.

Look at those long legs. You're like...

Ooh!

- Congratulations. - Thank you very much. Appreciate it.

- Detour. - OK.

"Travel to Jezzine Barracks and wait for your transport."

- Alright, let's go. - Let's do it.

That was epic.

- Alright, let's go. - You killed that.

I tell you what, I'm glad we were doing that early morning

and not in the middle of the day.

Oh, I see military cars.

Is there flags?

We've got to park by the trees there.

Yeah, yeah, where that campervan is.

Alright, let's go.

Just park in here, dude. They're all parking here.

We've got to run.

Let's go.

I'm exhausted already.

It's OK, we can do this.

Don't quit with this, hey.

- Hi. - Are you Captain Lily Charles?

- I am. Welcome to Jezzine Barracks. - Thank you.

We came in first, again!

So we're definitely on the first transport.

You see any flags?

Go, go, go!

G'day.

Morning. Welcome to Jezzine Barracks.

Thank you very much.

I'll just get you to wait on the edge of the

parade ground for your next instructions.

Sure, no worries.

Thank you. We'll be in the first departure, well done.

Go, baby.

You got this, Holly.

Great pace, keep it up.

Good speed, Wayne.

Take your time, great job.

Proud of you, buddy. Keep going.

Leave the photo, take the tag.

Well done, baby.

She just glided down the mountain. Wow.

- Congratulations. - Thank you!

- Well done. - Thank you!

Detour.

"Travel to Jezzine Barracks and wait for your transport."

OK, let's go.

Let's go, Wayne. You're a machine.

Oh, he's flying.

I hope we can make time.

We were right at the back of the pack. We hate being at the back.

Get that photo on the board, Wayne, and pick Brains.

I can't get the karabiner.

Oh, no.

He's just stuck a little bit at the board.

I think he has to attach his karabiner to something else.

Oh, shit.

Oh, no. No.

Oh, no.

I need to get back up.

We need to make sure that we get onto the first transport

so we can get to the Detour.

We need all the help we can get.

So she accidentally chose Brawn instead of Brains.

Are you really disappointed in me?

- For choosing Brawn? - Yeah.

I'm not disappointed, baby, I know it was an accident.

Let's do it.

"There is one form of transport leaving at two departure times.

"First come, first served."

OK. Wow. Alright.

We really want to be on that first transport,

so we can get to the top of the pack.

Maybe we should have gone with the Brains.

We'll be alright.

We grind it out, we get it done.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

He can't reach the board.

I have the worst mobility at the best of times

but I had to climb back up to reach the board

and literally had to pull myself up with three fingers.

Good work, Wayne, well done.

Three fingers.

There's 100kg right here!

- 100. - 100.

- Congratulations. - Thanks. Yes! Awesome.

Detour. "Travel to Jezzine Barracks and wait for your transport."

Let's go.

We had a bit of hope again because it was starting to feel like we were

falling further and further behind and we're already at the bottom.

"Make your way to Captain Lily Charles."

Good job, baby. I'm really proud of you.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

I'm Captain Lily Charles, welcome to Jezzine Barracks.

- Yes! - We did it!

We arrived there fourth, so we got onto the first transport.

It's going to be a really fun time.

- Good morning. - I'm captain Lily Charles...

We missed that first transport by one place. I'm pretty upset.

Let's go.

- Just in case we can get on the first one. - OK.

Morning.

I'm Captain Lily Charles, welcome to Jezzine Barracks.

Thank you.

You can wait on the edge of the parade ground for your next instruction.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Hello. - Morning.

Morning. I'm captain Lily Charles, welcome to Jezzine Barracks.

Thank you.

Our game plan was to maintain our position in the top two

and this is going to severely affect our chances in the race now.

So it said we have to wait for our transportation,

so we were all thinking maybe there's like a bus coming or something like that.

We could just hear these helicopters

- and we're like, what are the chances? - I kept thinking it was a lawnmower!

Then in the distance we see military army helicopters coming towards us.

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

Holy smoke!

Oh, mate! Bring it on!

I'm like, OK, shit's getting real.

It was unreal.

I was like a kid just, "Oh, my gosh, get me on this chopper! I want to get on."

And, yeah, it was amazing.

We are SO far behind.

We're on the next one.

We thought let's keep the momentum going and stay last.

We need to smash this next challenge if we want to stay in the race.

We were on the first flight with the Sikhs, Chris and Aleisha,

the Cowboys and then us.

And all four teams are heading to the Brawn challenge.

The army helicopter was freaking epic!

Best thing we've done.

And then we remember we have to attempt a Brawn challenge.

The first four teams have arrived at Lavarack Barracks,

the largest army base in Australia,

where they'll now find out what their Brains or Brawn choice means for them.

For teams that chose Brains,

they'll be simulating an artillery bombardment.

Now, in this intellectual challenge, teams will be given a target.

Now, using information and calculations, they must determine

the correct location of that target to fire one of these bad boys.

A computer simulation tracks their shot and if they are within

10mm of the target, bang, they will receive their next clue.

If not, they'd better use their brains

and get back to the drawing board.

Teams that choose Brawn must come down here

and complete a physically-demanding army obstacle course.

And when I say physical, I mean brutal.

First, teams must complete the gruelling obstacle course

alongside two army instructors.

Then they need to relocate some heavy-duty equipment before finishing

with a bang.

Then...

..they'll receive their next clue.

Welcome to Lavarack Barracks,

home of the Australian army in North Queensland.

You'll be wearing the uniform of our army today

and when you do, I ask that you reflect on the sacrifices

those before us have made

and that we will continue to make on behalf of the nation.

While you are here, we expect that you act in accordance with

our defence values -

service, courage, respect, integrity and excellence.

- Do you agree to uphold these values? - Yes.

- It was an honour really. - It was definitely, yeah.

It's the Australian army.

You know what they do for this country so it's a privilege

to suit up in the khakis and we're in safe and capable hands.

Good luck.

We had five minutes to get dressed in a full army outfit.

It was actually a real honour to put on the uniform.

- You've got it the wrong way. - That's not surprsing.

I'm ready.

And we looked schmick.

Punching out to the front, arms fully extended.

Keep the elbows by your side. Keep those feet moving.

First of all we had a warm-up, which wasn't too gruelling.

Keep your feet up, feet up, feet up. Knees up high, knees up higher.

Fast feet, fast hands. Fast feet, fast hands.

Fast feet, fast hands.

- Three, four, five... - It was really hot.

My back cramped up, my legs cramped up.

It was super tiring and it was like all my nightmares coming true.

Star jumps with me.

Bouncing off the balls of your feet.

I don't think I can do it, babe.

- Do you want to change? - Yeah.

Excuse me, sir. We want to change Detours.

No, thank you.

Yes, please.

OK, thanks.

There's no way I can do that, babe. I'm sorry.

Let's do it.

We knew that switching could waste valuable time but I had to change.

It was scary, for sure.

Go!

Let's go, team. Control your breathing

as you lead into every obstacle.

Lean in to it at the top of the A-frame, next person over.

Good work, Ashley, keep going. Push, push.

Good, team. Straight up and over.

Let's go, tunnel. Come on team.

We were, like, crawling through a tunnel and then I hear all

this machine guns going off, which I absolutely was not expecting.

I was like, do I have to stop and wait?

Come on, team.

I didn't really know what was going on.

Go, team. Nice and quick, nice and quick.

Chest on the beam, feet to the outside. Let's go.

Fast, fast, fast, fast fast. Let's do it. Let's go.

The course was really tough, not just physically but mentally.

Go, go, go, go!

I was absolutely buggered. I threw up on the second obstacle!

Let's go. Head up, head up.

Come on, Jacko. Get it done, brother.

I was like, "Hang on two seconds, I'll be with you in two seconds."

Stay on the one side.

It's a hardcore course.

Wait for the last member.

We were trying to jump over things, we're crawling through things.

Gunfire.

It's another level.

Keep low.

It just kept getting harder and harder and harder.

Let's keep moving.

We just wanted to make sure we don't stuff up.

Let's maintain our position.

It was such a remarkable experience being in an army helicopter.

But if you're on a real one, you are going somewhere you don't want to go.

I am packing it.

Yeah, I think that one might be quicker than doing this.

Yeah, definitely.

Travelling to Brains at the other side of the barracks

was super stressful.

We'd wasted so much time switching Detours.

Every second that passed, we knew that we were losing our lead.

We can't let those other teams catch us.

Ma'am, Sir, today I'll be taking you through the Brain challenge.

You'll be given a target, you will be required to provide a bearing

and an elevation to that gun in order to hit the target.

Move!

What are we trying to hit?

- Here's the information. - Yeah.

We're definitely worried about lost time.

We've already been doing the Brawn challenge for a long time.

I'm glad we were able to change from Brawn to do this.

- I'm so stoked. - This is way more up our alley.

But at the same time they can speed through that,

- so we've got to get our hustle on. - Yeah, so we have to keep going.

In this Detour, we're simulating an artillery attack.

We had to find coordinates on a map.

- So 75 is here. - OK.

We had to do a whole bunch of really complicated equations,

using some equipment that we've been given and also some tables.

If it's shooting from here to here.

We need to ultimately find the direction

that the gun should point in

and the height at which they need to fire the gun to hit the target.

3170. Let's do that.

Where did you get that?

- From three and five. - OK.

- Let's just try them. - OK.

- So this is our bearing and our... - Elevation?

Yes, our elevation.

We handed in our coordinates,

then we had to see whether the computer simulation

registered it as a successful hit.

Fire is ineffective. Recalculate.

OK, I think we're doing something wrong.

This was much harder than we expected.

One foot take-off, two foot landing. Go!

We're in the middle of the Brawn challenge and it's super difficult.

Excellent stuff. Looking well. Make hay!

All we wanted to do was beat the boys team behind us.

Good job lads, let's go.

Come on, keep going. We're nearly done.

Definitely got a taste for what the army is like.

They just kept pushing.

If they weren't there in your ear,

everyone would have been trying to walk and miss things.

But they're in your ear so you've just got to do it.

Come on, mate. Let's go.

Just dig deep and tuck your chin and work.

My energy levels were going.

The only thing that was getting me through it

was the fact that we were on the race.

There's two teams in front of us...

Get past them, Jacko.

..if we stop now, it's game over.

Come on, Ashleigh.

So, next up we had to take a bunch of heavy objects

from one end of the track to the other.

Go, team. Don't let them catch you.

We can jog with this, we can jog with this as well.

Come on, get it done.

Come on. No walking! Run.

Come on, lads, let's go.

Is second place good enough for you?

- You want to be first. - Come in first.

Good!

Move directly from here to the bottom... Let's go.

Once we finished the obstacle course,

we get told that we have to pull this massive lever

to make a cannon go off.

Fire!

- Congratulations. You passed. - Thank you so much.

- Congratulations. You passed. - Thank you very much.

"Detour. Lady and The Tramp or Eat Like a Champ."

In this Detour

teams must choose between two eating challenges -

Lady and The Tramp and Eat Like A Champ.

For Lady and The Tramp teams need to navigate to Ingham,

over 100km north of Townsville.

60% of the population claim Italian heritage

after migrants settled here in the 1800s to work the sugarcane fields.

Teams have a long drive to Casa Pasta restaurant and Chef Patrick...

Hello.

..where they'll find some long spaghetti - 5m of it.

Starting at either end,

racers must meet in the middle without breaking the spaghetti.

If they manage that, they'll receive their next clue.

Teams that choose Eat Like A Champ

must come here to Cassidy's Boat Ramp in Forest Creek,

Just outside Ingham,

and get their laughing gear round three of these Indigenous

bush tucker mangrove worms.

Teams must crack the shells and extract the snails whole.

Once they've done that, they can eat them

and then they'll receive their next clue.

What do you want to do? Spaghetti?

The pasta one sounds more like us.

- Lady and The Tramp. - Go, go, go.

Another Detour.

I'm thinking Lady and The Tramp.

I think that would probably be the best option.

- Let's get... s'ghetti. - Let's go.

At that point we knew we still had a chance.

That was intense.

So we said to ourselves we're going to win this leg today.

There's the first team going out now, Ashleigh and Amanda.

Not that far behind them.

It was a brutal leg.

Thank you, sir.

Shall we do that one? Lady and The Tramp.

Let's do it.

Because we were on the second chopper,

we were so far behind the first four teams.

Just prepare to run on lift and jump and cry.

Yeah.

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da.

Stan, this is your dream.

I was going to join the army.

Let's go!

Holly and Dolor, and Stan and Wayne are doing Brains.

We're doing Brawn with Sky-Blue and Jake.

Let's go, MJ.

Outside feet.

The toughest part for me was the beginning

when I obviously didn't listen to the instructions given.

Skye-Blue and Jake are right behind us.

Hurry the hell up!

Just get it right. What are you doing?

Left leg, left leg.

That's it, go.

Let's go, let's go.

Great work, Skye.

Bearing, elevation.

310.

Fire is ineffective. Recalculate.

You've got to change it down here as well.

I understand what I did wrong. Quick, write that down, then.

- Change it down here. - Alright. 253.1.

Just keep your cool and we'll do it properly.

No, we're in a race. I'm not going to keep my cool.

Well, you made a mistake because you didn't keep your cool.

Why are you so exasperated with me all the time?

Baby, chill, alright.

- Come on. - I am, baby.

Hello, we're going to do that one more time.

3280.

You're blaming me for some that you did.

- Oh. - Accept responsibility.

Everything is my fault, I understand.

- No, not everything. - No, no more. I'm not doing this any more.

Hey, give me a kiss, give me a kiss.

- Give me a kiss. - No.

Baby, give me a kiss. We have a race to do.

I would like to not kiss you, please.

That looks good.

Fire is ineffective. Recalculate.

We had a lot of trouble doing the Brain challenge.

Today you will be calculating manual prediction for the guns.

Holly and Dolor, and Wayne and Stan arrive.

Pay attention otherwise you won't get it.

So we're feeling a little bit more pressure.

"Determine target location known as point B."

I've always wanted to be in the army.

I play Call Of Duty. I've always wanted to shoot stuff.

So it was cool, like, wearing the outfit

and being part of the army a little bit.

I would do this in my own time for fun

so I really enjoyed doing this challenge.

We have got coordinates for you.

Bearing, 3200. Elevation, 1260.

Yes, we got it.

Fire!

Ineffective. Recalculate.

I think I know where we went wrong a little bit.

I think in terms of the bearings, we'll try and work it out

and see what happens and just go from there.

Target grid, 765, 571.

Look at these numbers. Can you see these?

One, two, three, four, five.

And it's there. No.

I'm horrible at maths and what made it worse is

I didn't want to re-ask the sergeant.

What's the elevation of the gun? Did he teach us that?

What are these?

Can we ask the sergeant, too?

76, to 57.

So it's this one.

Do you count from the block or from the next one?

- 100Ks to Ingham. - Awesome.

We haven't really had to do many eating challenges

because we've chosen the other one.

So hopefully we do well.

Going to head up and do this spaghetti challenge.

I can't wait, ha-ha!

What, to kiss me?

Oh, mate, we don't need a bit of spaghetti for that, do we?

It's been a long time on the show and you're looking better every day.

Oh, mate.

It'd be the best kiss you've ever have.

Let's do this, Anurag.

Anurag has got big lips, so this should help him.

Cushion. Nice cushion.

- Doing well. - Let's go, let's go.

I wanted to join the army since I was four and unfortunately,

I was knocked back because my arm.

All the way, all the way.

My arm did not hinder me one little bit.

Let's go.

Well done, well done, good work.

All the way down, MJ. All the way down. Yes.

We were so close to MJ and Chelsea. So close.

Good job, guys.

- You got it there. - Let's go, doing well.

Doing well.

Congratulations, you passed.

Thank you very much, mate. Nice.

Here we go. Detour.

- What do you reckon? - Lady and The Tramp.

Lady and The Tramp.

We left the army barracks in fourth position.

We're off. Let's do this.

Ingham, 108Ks.

Congratulations, you've passed.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

"Slurp up spaghetti to receive your next clue."

OK, let's do that.

OK, let's try this again.

It's the wrong grid! It's this grid.

We were working off the wrong numbers for the whole challenge.

From the start.

- It's this one. - OK.

Oh, good sir. Bearing, elevation.

Ready? Fire!

We found our mistake, so...

Rounds were effective. Target destroyed.

- Go collect your clue. - Yes! Thank you so much.

If I had put the dot in the correct grid straightaway,

we would have got it on our first attempt.

We would have done in five minutes.

So now we're worried we've lost a spot

and that just adds to the stress.

- This is stuff that annoys me. Stop! - Hello.

Sir, ma'am, you now may stand easy.

Detour.

- Lady and The Tramp. - Spaghetti it is.

Alright.

Let's do it again.

It's usually a different page.

The Brains challenge was really hard for us.

- OK, let's try this one. - That's correct.

We weren't really sure what we were doing.

We've got locations for you. Coordinates.

Bearing, 3230.

Elevation, 281.3.

Fire!

Sir, ma'am, end of mission. Target destroyed.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Congratulations. You now may stand down.

Thank you.

- Spaghetti it is. Lady and The Tramp. - Yes.

Yes, please.

- Sir. - Gentlemen.

How do we calculate bearing?

A bearing is using the shooting protractor.

You move the range arm to that target.

- Bearing and range equals elevation? - No, sir.

You get a range to convert into an elevation using your TFTs.

Their explanation to me was a little bit vague.

Elevation. Elevation.

Right, let's go.

And go for it.

Bearing, 3130.

Elevation, 247.6

Fire!

Round is ineffective. Recalculate.

At that point I did start to get really frustrated.

We're falling further and further behind

and we're already at the bottom.

Are we doing this wrong?

The grid.

What was going through my mind was we're going to have to

pack our bum bags up and we're going home.

Alright, I see a sign to Ingham.

Nice one. Now stay on the speed limit, OK?

Yeah, will do.

Had a bit of the blue there before at the Brain challenge.

So this is our chance to kiss and make up, hey?

Yeah, we haven't made up until we kiss at the end of the pasta.

Do you reckon we will have a string each?

I think we will have the same string.

Like Lady and the Tramp, they go from one end to the other.

They meet in the middle.

As long as we don't have to kiss at the end.

I don't... I don't want to kiss.

I don't want to do that.

We'll just get as close as we can and then just suck.

- Hi! - Hello.

Ashleigh and I get to the Lady and The Tramp challenge first.

We definitely knew this was going to be hard.

- Yo! - Hey, boys.

How are we going to slide along?

We get seated at two ends of a massive long piece of spaghetti

and we have the whole thing without using our hands

and without breaking the spaghetti to finish that challenge.

Suck softly, don't break it, whatever you do.

So we had to eat our big spaghetti

and we had to meet each other in the middle.

Things were about to get saucy.

Bon appetit.

OK.

I found my military training from earlier this morning

come in handy with the army crawl along the table.

I kiss Ash all the time, but, like, not on her lips.

Is that good?

So first time.

Ooh, on camera!

Didn't happen if it wasn't photographed.

I was ready halfway along the table,

So I thought I'm just gonna grab him and pull him in.

Let's just get it over and done with.

Like a true gentleman, he took me out for dinner first.

That's exactly what I did. I did.

That was so romantic.

As if that ain't the best kiss you've ever had!

It wasn't the worst, but it wasn't the best.

I've definitely had worse.

- Yay. - Thank you so much.

- Thank you very much, mate. Legend. - Thanks, mate.

"Travel to Mungalla Station to find Beau at the Pit Stop."

"Hurry! the last team to arrive may be eliminated." Let's go.

Teams must now drive to Mungalla cattle station

just outside Ingham.

Which is run by this bloke, Jacob Cassady.

I should get some of them for my kids.

- We've got a gift shop there. - You've got a gift shop?

Got everything. A gift shop, cattle. What else do you want in life?

Jacob's Nywaigi people have a connection to this land

stretching back 60,000 years!

It is the perfect place for the Pit Stop

of the 13th leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

- How was it? Easy? - Easy, hard?

As soon as we got there we noticed Amanda and Ashleigh leaving

with the next clue in their hand, and so were the Cowboys.

Easy, hard, boys?

Oh, mate, best kiss of me life.

- That was really delicious. - I know.

And I got to kiss you which was a bonus.

Aww, cute!

Are you ready for a foot race, Brend?

Uh, not really. They're fast.

I know they're fast. We'll give it a go anyway.

- Make it interesting. - That's for sure.

One long piece of spaghetti, mate.

- That's what, four metres? - We can do it. We've got it.

- Let's get nice and close. - Slow and steady.

Slow and steady.

It was seriously hard.

I just hope my mum doesn't watch this TV show and see me

messing all the food around.

I had Bolognaise all over my beard.

It probably smells like Bolognaise, too.

We got pretty close.

And I'm like, "Mate, never again." Never again.

This was the highlight the entire leg.

Oh, mate.

Thank you.

Let's go. Go, go, go!

Main High Street.

- This isn't Main High. - No.

Can you see any flags?

We get to Ingham and we're trying to find Lady and The Tramp.

- What was that one? - Cassidy Street.

Am I going straight?

I don't know if that's right, then.

- What you want me to do? - Just head back.

We are definitely just guessing on this one.

I can't see flags.

It was frustrating.

MJ, I am feeling really lost and confused about this.

I can see this and it's not helping.

The competitor in me didn't feel good.

I don't like losing spots.

Argh!

- Got the right area on the grid. - Yeah.

Did we measure it wrong?

- Maybe we used the wrong ruler. - Yeah, I'm using the right one now.

- I was using the wrong ruler. - Yeah.

And I was measuring something in centimetres.

Not millimetres.

So you just change this one, that's all.

Right, let's go.

Bearing, 3120.

Elevation, 25331.

Fire!

Round effective. Target destroyed.

- Yes! - Boom!

Eeeh... pow!

- You now may stand easy. - Thank you, sir.

Lady and The Tramp.

"Make your way to the mural on Mercer Lane

"and slurp up spaghetti to receive your next clue."

Let's go.

Get to the car park.

We are the last campervan.

And it hurts, we're at the bottom of the pile.

Ugh! Hulk smash!

- OK, see that thing coming up? - Mungalla Station.

Probably, it's going to come down to a run.

- You've got the bag? - Yeah.

Got my bag?

Got it there, I'll take it straight out this door.

Alright, and we have a foot race.

This is what The Amazing Race is all about.

Ashleigh and Amanda are coming. Amanda is out in front.

But the Cowboys are coming.

- Come on, Ashleigh. - I'm coming.

Holy moly.

I think the Cowboys are going to get them, man. Wow.

Don't give up. Come on.

Alright, and we have a foot race.

This is what The Amazing Race is all about.

Come on, Ashleigh!

I'm coming.

Ashleigh and Amanda are coming.

Amanda is out in front but the Cowboys are coming.

Don't give up, come on.

Holy moly.

You're only as strong as your weakest link.

Ashleigh is still staying ahead.

Come on, man.

This is the best footrace we've ever had, man,

- on your property. - Wow.

Oh, wow.

- We came in first. - We won.

- Youse are fast. - Youse are fast.

Guys, welcome to Mungalla Station.

- Thank you! - Thank you very much.

Ashleigh and Amanda, that's the best finish I've ever seen.

You are the first team to check in.

- Thank you! - Woo!

That makes you boys, Brendon and Jackson, second team to check-in.

- It's alright, dude. - It's alright, bruv.

Good job, guys.

Two legs in a row is such a big achievement.

We're happy to even still be in the game, let alone winning.

Boys, what happened? You were that close.

Yeah, we were, but this body's not built to run.

No, you know, gentleman-like, ladies first.

- Oh, thanks, boys. - We'll give youse that one.

You'll probably rethink that

because I'm about to tell the girls you have won a holiday

to the Hilton Fiji Resort and Spa.

Well done!

A holiday each thanks to 10travlr.com

and the Hilton Fiji Resort and Spa.

You guys are legit. Go and rest and recover.

Bring it in. Good job.

Today's leg, best one we've done so far.

Challenges were the best, that chopper ride...

Kiss was even better.

For you, maybe.

See youse later.

Yes!

Go, go, go, go!

Once we got to the Detour,

I adamantly told Skye that she'd better not kiss me.

Oh, wow, interesting.

How did they get here first? They must have come around.

No, they just parked straightaway.

Don't bite it.

I'm so excited.

This is hilarious!

Bon appetit.

Don't bite it.

Do not kiss me.

Skye lost it and went into hysterics.

And I thought it was going to cost us the challenge,

how much she was laughing.

We did not kiss each other.

Not even a little bit.

Yeah, we stopped probably about...

I do know, probably this far apart.

Mmm!

Thank you very much.

- Thank you! - Thank you, mate.

- Hello! - Grazie.

Grazie, grazie! Thank you!

OK, "Travel to Mungalla Station to find Beau at the Pit Stop."

"Hurry, the last team to arrive may be eliminated."

Oh, here we go, the Super Sikhs.

Jaskirat and Anurag, you are the third team to check-in.

- Yeah, baby. - That's how we do it.

You know what, we started this sixth,

we've ended up third so, you know what, overall,

- absolutely perfect. - It's a win really.

Mate, how would you feel if we got eliminated?

I personally would be gutted.

When you know you're last, you know you're last,

so all you can do is try to relax

'cause stressing out more is just going to compound the situation.

So, we tried our best to keep level-headed...

Stay positive.

..but it does hurt.

I don't think you can ever count anyone out.

Like, even if you do end up last, you never know,

it might not be non-elimination

and they might have had to U-turn a team,

so you never know what could happen.

It's always anyone's game.

Main high street.

Do you want me to go and ask for directions?

Because we've just got out of Ingham.

Well, it's just confusing the hell out of me.

Alright, I'm going to go into this ambulance and I'm going to ask, OK?

- We were just getting lost. - We got lost.

So we pulled into an ambulance place

to try and ask someone for directions.

While we were waiting, we saw Skye-Blue and Jake...

- That way? - I think so.

Alright.

..thinking that they were going to Lady and The Tramp as well,

so we jumped in our car and we just followed them.

So I think we're going in the right way now.

Excuse me, love, do you know where Main North Road is? Main North?

Main high street. Main high street.

- Thank you! - Main high street.

Our navigation has always been a problem.

Today was also a problem.

That's Stan and Wayne.

- You can see them? - Yeah, just there.

On the way to Lady and The Tramp, we see Stan and Wayne

and they're ahead of us

and we can see Lady and The Tramp right there,

we can see the restaurant right there, we can see the flags.

I thought this was the main street for sure.

For some reason, Stan and Wayne chuck a U-turn

and just go right back and miss it.

Bum directions.

- Hi. - Hey.

The clue really didn't say what to do

once you got all the spaghetti and it wasn't broken,

so I thought I had to transfer all my spaghetti into Dolor's mouth.

And I could tell Holly was thinking that

so I cut it off real quick.

Jesus.

It was a funny challenge.

It looked like Holly was better than me at slurping it

so I just tried to make sure I wouldn't cut it

and she'll do the majority of the work coming to me.

I definitely am the slurper. I do love my spaghetti Bolognaise.

- Woo! - Thank you.

- Thank you so much. Appreciate it. - Thank you.

- Do you think it's here? - Yeah, I think it's there.

We thought we were being helpful

telling Chelsea and MJ the right direction to go.

They've turned, so I'm following.

Unfortunately, they had yet to finish the Detour challenge.

- Alright, ready? - Yeah, let's go. Let's go.

MJ and Chelsea are right on our tail, Jake.

Alright, let's put the pedals on.

Skye-Blue and Jake, you are the fourth team to check-in.

That's a huge effort.

Great work.

Alright, go rest and recover. We've got more teams coming in.

This is wrong.

MJ and Chelsea.

You are fifth team to arrive.

However, you haven't finished the Detour...

..so I can't check you in.

So, girls, go and do it and I'll see you soon.

Oh!

Absolutely gut-wrenching.

Stupid!

We're both devastated.

Far out. We're in trouble.

Let's go.

Get to the Pit Stop, haven't done a challenge.

I'm mad, I'm really mad at myself.

Fingers crossed it's a non-elimination,

otherwise we're done.

Ah...

Let's go.

There's the murals.

We get to Lady and The Tramp...

- No-one's here. - They've done it.

It was gut-wrenching at that point.

We thought we were gone and going home packing our bags.

If you actually kiss me, I'll punch you.

It doesn't say kiss.

- This is a gee up. - Bon appetit.

Thanks, Patrick.

The worst was they added olive oil and cheese,

just to really mess us up.

I was hoping that we could have more spaghetti.

I was keeping my carbs down, watching my waist.

That was the closest me and Stan have ever been

and hopefully that is the last time that that will ever happen.

What are you saying?

I'm saying you're a shit kisser.

- Yes! - Thank you, Patrick!

Thank you, Patrick! Legend.

"Travel to Mungalla Station. Find Beau at the Pit Stop.

"Hurry, last team to arrive may be eliminated."

We're still at the back and there was no-one there, so...

I don't know.

Hopefully someone doesn't have the best sense of direction.

And we're...

There's the girls! Stan, there's the girls!

- Great. - We're in front of them.

- Always in the race, buddy. - Yes, yes, yes, yes.

The boys are here.

Yeah, that's the boys.

I'm feeling heaps better that we're not last.

Yeah, flipped on me, buddy.

What a comeback, mate.

One little string of pasta and we're back in the race, buddy!

Back in the race!

I love MJ and Chelsea,

I don't want them to come last at all...

..but what do you do?

- Another team coming. - Yeah.

- Good job, baby. - Ah!

Chris and Aleisha, you are the fifth team to check-in.

- Sweet. - Wow.

They don't eat meat.

We're at a cattle station.

If we can jump one or two positions every leg,

that makes us feel pretty good and that keeps us in the race.

You got many T-bones here?

Oh, I think we've got rump today.

Oh, rump. Rump's good.

Holly and Dolor.

Sixth team to check-in.

- Oh, wow. - Congratulations.

Well done.

Surprising, hey?

- I'm very shocked. - Why?

We've had a long leg...

..and we're still sixth, so that's great.

Wow, what a day. What a day.

- Have you had a good day? - Yes.

Yeah? Better than mine I'm sure, but...

The challenge in itself, Lady And The Tramp,

- was actually quite fun. - So simple.

We jumped onto the table

and just started sucking the spaghetti.

Mwah!

- Yay! - Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Got our clue and we were on our way back to the Pit Stop

and just praying that we weren't going to be the last team.

Oh, let's just hope the boys might get lost getting there

'cause we at least know where we're going so...

..maybe they'll take a wrong turn.

Now there's a right turn somewhere that we need to take.

Yeah, I was following the map, I knew it was on our right,

but they're tricky maps,

they're not as detailed as we'd hope

and you've got to work with your instincts sometimes.

I'm just looking for some Race colours,

that's all I want.

- So is that it there? - No.

I think we need to keep our eyes peeled.

We don't look enough and we miss the flags.

No, no, no.

Turn around?

We nail challenges, we smash them.

The directions kill us every single time.

Oh! I feel like there's just an inch of hope for us at the moment,

maybe, MJ.

Oh, boy.

Slight inch.

What will be will be, it's out of our hands now.

It's pretty gut-wrenching on that drive

because it's either of us going home

or friends of ours in Stan and Wayne, the Stowaways,

who we've just gotten to know

and built a really good relationship with,

they could be going home.

Excuse me.

Hey, bud, do you know where Mungalla Station is?

OK, cool. Thanks heaps, mate. You're a legend.

Count how many are there.

Two, four, six.

We're seven. Maybe.

Alright, here we go.

Let's go.

Might be up here. This might be it up here.

Yeah, there's flags in the tree, bro.

Oh, how did we miss that?

There's the campers!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Ah!

Back off at bottom, at the front, it's much easier.

Let's go, bro.

Oh, my lord.

It's hot standing here, and they've got to run.

Yeah, exactly.

Ah, girls, girls, girls.

You are...

..seventh team to check-in.

Oh!

You're still in the race.

If anyone can bounce back, it's you two,

and you just proved that.

I was super relieved, but I was still upset...

Look, other team's coming now. Last team.

..because I knew Stan and Wayne were in last place.

Guys, welcome to Mungalla Station.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Stan and Wayne, you are...

..the last team to check-in.

How do you feel, boys?

Pretty gutted.

No-one likes to lose.

I've enjoyed having you guys here, I'm not going to lie.

You guys have been wonderful, for me, for the show.

Ugh. This is the end for us. This is the end.

I just want to finally say something as well.

This is a predetermined non-elimination leg.

- What? - We're not going.

Nah, we're gone.

You're going nowhere, you're still in the race.

- Yes! - You're kidding.

- Still in the race. - Oh, man.

- I thought we were done for. - I prefer the hug over the kiss.

Yeah. We got pretty close there.

Boom!

- We're not going home. - You got some rump and that for them?

Yeah, mate, we've got plenty of rump.

Let's get on the barbecue. Come on, let's stay in.

More pasta on my shorts.

Sorry about that.

I think going into the next leg, we need to read our clue better,

100%.

And stay, stay on the Race.

- Isn't always the goal? - Yeah.

Next time on the Amazing Race Australia...

I hope this is the right way to go.

..teams work together in a search and rescue mission...

They ran the wrong way for no reason.

That's awesome!

I told you the other team aren't that smart.

Yeah, I'm a bit worried now.

- What do you think, man? - Huh?

We've got a storm coming!

..and new allies are revealed...

I'm going to help Skye.

We're in an official alliance with Skye and Jake,

the Cowboys and the Sikhs.

Put your head down and get it done.

..sending our Geek and Princess...

They are 100% all working together now.

..cuckoo, cuckoo.

Other teams have made it pretty clear

that they don't help us.

I felt a bit cuckoo.
