Previously on The Amazing Race Australia...

Three, two, one, go!

..the greatest adventure on Earth began in Queensland...

Literally have never done anything like this in my life.

..and travelled up and down this great land...

Oh, this is so badass!

..the most extreme on the planet.

Tough, like, really tough. Not just physically, but mentally.

And in the toughest race ever seen...

It just kept getting harder and harder and harder.

..four teams emerged as the toughest teams ever seen.

Oh, my God!

Tonight...

I'm, like, nervous today. Because it's crunch time.

..our final four head to Broken Hill...

This is going to be cool, this is going to be epic.

..home of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert...

I thought it was a sheila.

Whoa!

..and fight for their spot...

This is so frustrating!

..in the finale.

Any mistake was going to cost you.

And in the toughest eating challenge ever seen...

Just drink it, don't spew in it.

Don't, don't, don't even do it.

..one team will fall at the final hurdle.

You are the last team to check in, and you're eliminated.

It's early morning,

and our final four are waking up in Dubbo,

named by the first settler in honour of the local Wiradjuri word

for 'red earth'.

It's from here that our teams will depart

in the order in which they finished their last leg.

"Fly to the Silver City, Broken Hill."

"Once there, make your way to the Big Heel in the Palace Hotel

"for your next instructions."

- Bye! - Let's go.

Sweet. Broken Hill.

Our four remaining teams are travelling from Dubbo

to the frontier mining town of Broken Hill.

Often referred to as the unofficial capital

of the New South Wales outback,

it was made even more famous in its 1994 appearance

in the box-office smash, and one of my favourite movies,

The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert.

And it's just about to host the 22nd leg

of The Amazing Race Australia.

And let me tell you, she's windy.

Go, go, go!

Take a taxi to the airport.

- We need to go to the airport. - To the airport, please.

Would you mind calling me a taxi?

That would be amazing.

Yeah, it'd be tough to get a cab in Dubbo.

- Yeah, I thought it would have been. - I did too.

We're top four now, we need to get into the top three.

We're coming up to the finale.

We're taking every challenge at a time.

We will do whatever it takes to win.

We're doing it for our family, doing it for our kids.

Man, this is tough.

- This could well be an elimination. - Yeah.

We have to - have to - finish first this leg.

Anurag, top four so far.

We've got this. We've got this.

Hustle, hustle, every second.

We have to give it all, we're going to put our bodies on the line.

It's all-in, baby. That's what it's all about now.

Taxi!

Last leg, we had a rough one,

with a U-turn.

Alright, we're still in the race.

This morning, we're aiming for first place.

We're all here to win.

This means so much to us, we're not just going to give up.

The race is always so stressful.

We can go from first to last like that.

The Sikhs got in a maxi really quick.

- Yep. - I don't know if the Cowboys got one.

We said early on the final three were going to be us,

the Cowboys, and Jas and Anurag.

So we are sticking with them in our alliance.

Especially with how close we are to the final.

I hope the Cowboys got a cab.

Where is this bloody taxi?

Apparently, there was only four taxis working in Dubbo today.

Three of them were out on route, one of them was on smoko.

Never missed a flight before, but today could be the first day.

- Here we go, here's one. - Oh, we're on.

No, we're not.

Yes, we are.

Finally.

Go, go, go!

Our teams will all travel on the same 800km flight

from Dubbo to Broken Hill,

an old mining town named

after the world's largest lead and zinc deposits

rising from the ground.

Once there, they will make their way to the Palace Hotel,

spiritual home of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,

and find the Big Heel to pick up their next clue.

Let's go.

Hey, mate, how are you?

To the Palace Hotel.

Keep it going!

The Palace Hotel, yeah. The fastest way.

You just never know with all these challenges

- what's going on. - Anything can happen. Yeah.

I'm nervous today because it's crunch time.

But, yeah, we definitely just want to be in the top three.

For sure.

Go, go, go!

When we landed in Broken Hill we were the fourth team to leave,

so, we were at the back of the pack.

How you going? Palace Hotel.

Hopefully we're going to get some real physical challenges.

At least the only positive thing

about starting at the back of the pack is we can only go up.

Yeah, exactly right.

Round the front?

Yeah, round the front. Round the front. Keep an eye out.

Heel. That's the heel.

"Step one. Get ready to Break Bad."

Many of Broken Hill's streets are named after elements and compounds,

which are the lifeblood to the town's mining industry.

For this challenge, our teams must follow clues to find

four street intersections

which feature the names of different compounds.

At each intersection they must pick up equipment or a chemical,

before making their way to the mad scientist

to conduct an experiment.

Then, they'll receive their next clue.

"Travel on foot to the corner of Sulphide and Blende Streets to get started."

OK, cool.

Find Blende Street.

Blende. Oh, OK.

- If we go out that way. - Yeah, out that way. - It's two blocks. Two blocks.

Good, good, good, good.

- The next one is... - This one should be Blende.

Blende, yeah.

Signs and directions and trying to find places, oh, this is ours.

Mate, we've got this.

It says we will get safety equipment.

We have to wear it the whole way through.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

- Oh, here. - Oh, found it.

"Travel on foot to the corner of Sulphide and Blende Street to get started."

Sulphide and Blende Street. Let's go.

There. Safety equipment.

Hey, there. We want to get

some equipment, safety gear.

- OK. - Put your stuff on. - We've got to put this on right now?

Yes, you need to put it on at all times.

There's overalls and there's gloves in it

there's lab glasses in there.

Are we doing some sort of chemistry experiment?

This is going to be cool. This is going to be epic.

"Using your knowledge of science, find the intersection of Co

"and Cl-to find your next equipment."

Cobalt. D5.

Anurag, especially being an engineer, knows exactly what chemicals are what.

What am I looking for now?

Chloride. Follow my thumb. Follow my thumb.

Cobalt comes across here and into...

Chloride. On the other side of the park. Is there any teams coming?

- The girls are coming. - Go, go, go, go.

We are not telling anyone what the signs are.

Yes, I know. They're running this way.

They are coming this way. They're running here.

We built up a pretty strong alliance with the Cowboys and Amanda and Ashleigh.

However, we are going to have to be more strategic now.

Let's go. We're here to win 250K.

We've got to go across the park.

Hello. Can we please have the safety gear?

Ready? OK.

So, we're dressed to impress... Thank you.

..and I have a fairly OK knowledge of the periodic table,

and I did chemistry 1 and 2 at uni.

- I got it, I got it. - Alright. Go, go, go.

Our first step is to go to Cobalt and Chloride at intersecting streets.

Almost there.

There it is.

"Step one. Get ready to Break Bad."

- Whoo-hoo! - Yes!

I am a bit of a nerd, so we know we've got this one.

"Travel to the corner of Sulphide and Blende Street."

Blende is this one here.

OK, which way, baby?

This way.

I think we can always read maps. I can always read maps.

Never get lost.

Sulphide and Blende Street. Do you know where it is?

Yeah.

I can read them. I don't know where we are on them.

I see the metro. I know where we are.

So this is the corner of Bromide and Argent.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Could you just point where exactly we are on the map right at this very moment?

OK.

- Where you are... - Yeah.

Just as quick as you can.

- OK, amazing. Thank you so much. Got it. - OK.

Thank you, thank you. OK, so we need to go this way.

Yeah, let's go.

Big heel.

"Step one. Get ready to Break Bad.

"Travel on foot to the corner of Sulphide and Blende Streets to get started."

Let's go.

- Can you read it when we're jogging? - Yeah.

Chris and Aleisha were running up the road.

So we kind of just followed them, really, didn't we?

Yeah.

- Oh, the Cowboys are already here. - Aleisha, should we keep going up?

Or go across there?

Alright, let's cross. The Cowboys are right there.

- Should we cross here? - I already said yes!

- Answer my question, OK? - I said it three times yes!

- That's Blende. - Yeah.

We're here, right? Where are we trying to go?

No, we're here.

Well, I pointed that to you before, and you said no.

- Yeah, I've got Blende Street. - How far is it?

So, Crystal... It'll be the next one over.

- The next one over? - Yeah.

They're just going to follow us,

'cause they're not very good at maps, you know?

Yeah.

Excuse me, mate. We've got to get to Sulphide Street.

- Is it? Thanks, mate. - You're a legend. Thank you.

It was only around the corner, so Chris and Aleisha,

they didn't hear it, so we went the other direction.

- How you going? - How are ya?

- Thank you very much. - Do it out here?

Yeah, we've got the jump on Chris and Aleisha.

They're down there somewhere.

If that's Chloride,

Cobalt is going to be halfway through the park.

So we find the next intersection...

- Yeah. - Perfect.

Hey, mate. How are you?

Can we have some potassium iodide, please?

..and we get the first chemical.

Thank you.

"Taking your equipment, make your way to the intersection of Co..."

Cobalt.

"..and S2-."

OK. S2 would be Sulphide.

Through Cobalt Street, across the other side of the park.

OK, got you.

As we were progressing through the stations,

we're starting to find out, "Oh, hold on,

"I'm picking up something from this station. I'm

picking up another chemical at this station."

- Co and S2? - Yeah.

This is all going to come together at some point.

Can we get some hydrogen peroxide, please?

- Do we have a clue? - Thank you.

"Continuing carefully with your equipment in your hand..."

"..find the intersection of Br- and Co.

Oh, Bromide and Cobalt.

Cobalt.

Alright, that's fine. Let's cross over.

- Let's go this way. - Across here.

But the most important thing was, we couldn't drop anything.

Keep it going!

Can we please get some hydrogen peroxide?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

It's 36 degrees in Broken Hill today. It is sweltering.

Br is either beryllium, boron or b... Um...

Br... Bromide, bromide.

I'm carrying the hydrogen peroxide and the little potassium iodide

and not spilling it, and trying not to drop it.

Hold it tight, yeah?

That's clue number four, yeah?

We have to take colour detergent, so...

Take these and find the mad scientist at the Big Ant.

- At the Big And? - Ant.

Alright, let's go.

You're going real fast for me.

Which one do you think Sulphur is? This one?

Yeah. No.

Oh, there it is.

- Yeah. - Have we gone too far, then?

Can't find Bromide. Sulphide. Oh!

We've definitely gone too far. Argh!

Aleisha, when I pointed and said "We're here," you ignored me.

No, I didn't ignore you, baby. I didn't see.

You were running. It was hard to see.

Hey, look at me!

It's got to be in that park.

The Big Ant.

Stop. I want to see if we can see anything.

See that table? There's two tables there.

Yeah.

Mad scientist!

- How are you, mate? - How you doing?

Find a table and mix the ingredients.

Slowly.

We were thinking, "OK, maybe the colour will change."

Nah.

OK, mix this one slowly and pour this one quickly

and take a step back.

OK, quickly pour that one.

Whoa!

That was pretty cool!

Boom!

It just exploded out of the beaker and just went everywhere.

But the best thing is it all landed on the mad scientist.

- Thank you. - Thank you, thank you, thank you.

- Road Block. - "Who's watching their weight?"

A Road Block is a challenge that only one team member must choose

to complete, based on a cryptic clue.

Our teams must head to the outskirts of town and find Junction Mine.

In this challenge, one team member must shovel grit

and attempt to balance out a seesaw,

get it level with their teammate on the other end.

It's all about precision.

Let me tell you, it's all about balance.

Once the seesaw is perfectly level...

..they'll receive their next clue.

- Do you want to do it? Yeah, let's go. - I'll do it.

So, by this point we knew we were first.

Go.

We could see Chris and Aleisha still around the bend,

trying to figure out step one.

- Car. - No, nothing to do with cars.

We need to go to the corner, baby.

Are we supposed to go that way?

Find a table and mix the ingredients.

- Thank you. Thank you so much. - Thank you.

- Road Block! - Road Block!

"Who's watching their weight?" I can do it. I'll do it.

- Let's go. - Awesome.

Cobalt. Cl.

What's the element that starts with Cl?

Oh, I don't know.

"Yeah, like we'd tell you, boys."

- Co and Cl. Cobalt? Yeah. - Do you think it's cobalt?

What's that? Chloride. So we need to go to there.

- Sure? - Yeah.

- 100%? - Yes, let's go.

- Over here. Over here! - Huh?

G'day, mate.

We'll take potassium iodide.

Have you got a clue for us?

Let's go.

"Make your way to the intersection of Co and S2."

Hey. Hey!

- Hey! - Yeah, I hear you!

Can you carry my backpack, please?

OK, look. Look up. Look up.

Oh, my gosh. Finally.

Hello. Have you got any protection gear for us?

- Yes, I do. - Yes. Thanks.

Jesus.

- Thank you so much. - The blind leading the blind.

- Silly mistake. - Yeah.

We could be eliminated because we make a silly mistake like that.

100%.

- Do you have a clue for us as well? - Yes, I do.

- Thank you very much. - There you go, guys.

OK, we've got that map.

Let's figure it out here.

Cobalt, Cobalt. It'll be Cobalt.

- And then Chloride. - This way.

I reckon we head to that thing.

- This way, then. - Either way.

- We can go either way. - No.

- Yes, yes! - But why would we go that way, then?

- OK. - Because this is Cobalt.

Alright! I'm shutting up now, because everything I say is wrong.

So, we need to find this place.

- What's it called? - Junction Mine.

We got our next clue, and it's a Road Block.

We need to ask someone.

I'm going to reverse back and go to the workshop.

We're in the lead, so we had a lot of pressure on us.

Hey, mate.

We're just looking for Junction Mine.

Two legs to go. We want to be first, and I know we can do it.

- So, just in there, right? - Thanks, guys.

Thank you.

It definitely said Junction Mine.

Yeah, it's on the other side of the railway track.

- How much do you weigh? Oh. - 64 kilos.

This Road Block instructed us to head to Junction Mine.

Our goal the whole time was we just wanted to

make the final three and never get eliminated.

You'll be able to smash this out really quickly, I reckon.

Perfect.

- Junction Mine! - Yes, yes.

Go, go.

- None of the other teams are there. - Yes!

Alright, do you want to have a look at this?

Yeah.

"Sit in the barrel at the end of the seesaw."

We have to make a seesaw balance.

Yeah, so you're sitting on that side.

But the twist here is I have to use a wheelbarrow

and pile it up with gravel and dirt and fill up a drum to try and match

Ashleigh's weight while she's sitting on the other end of the seesaw.

"You must walk along the seesaw to deposit your grit."

Are you going to take that on there?

I feel like you're just supposed to walk alone.

- It says walk along the seesaw. - Yeah.

It doesn't say to bring the wheelbarrow up there.

Obviously, I'm not allowed to help.

But I'm thinking, "This is not right.

"This is extremely wrong."

"Walk along that seesaw to deposit your grit."

Yeah.

If I can get this up there, it will be much quicker.

OK.

Do you not think that's a good idea?

I will try one more time.

That's not working.

Ashleigh's eyes were saying a lot of things.

But it's not easy to lift a wheelbarrow onto a seesaw!

You were like, "What the hell are you doing?"

Now you've got the idea.

Finally!

- Where's that park? - Next street.

- Is it? - Yeah.

How you going?

We need some colour detergent.

- Yeah. - Great, I'll give it to Brendon.

- You alright, Bren? - I can't run with it, dude.

- I'm spilling it all. - Alright.

Oh, I hate running.

Are you sure S2 is Sulphide?

Baby, I've already said I think it's S2.

I can't run any more.

- OK, you'll have to do the best you can. - I'm sorry.

- We're a long way behind. Can you jog? - I'm really tired!

I know you are. Can you jog?

We knew we were in fourth place at that point...

This is Sulphide. Where's Cobalt?

..because we went the wrong way...

Back that way?

..and now we know we have to play catch up.

Yeah, she's there, baby. See?

And I think that's stressing us out even more.

I can't run anymore. You're not listening.

What do you want me to do? Carry you?

Just walk.

Hello. Hydrogen peroxide, please.

- Thank you very much. - Thanks, guys.

Yes, girl! OK, get those rocks. They're nice and heavy.

Yeah.

To empty the first load of the wheelbarrow

was probably about 15 laps up and down this seesaw...

Yes, girl.

..in the scorching heat, in this windstorm with all the dirt in it.

It's a little bit windy.

Don't worry, Amanda!

You're doing really well.

Let's go.

Perfect. You're heavier, I'm lighter. This couldn't be more perfect.

Whoo!

Argh!

- You're doing so well. - Why isn't it even lifting?

Oh, my God. Have I put too much?

No, no, no. You haven't.

Yeah, I have. Why would you be in the air?

Oh, shit.

I didn't notice that I'd overfilled the barrel,

and it was now heavier than Ashleigh's weight.

Amanda, keep checking.

Keep going, bro. Yeah, I noticed what the girls did.

They put too much and now they've got to reverse it.

Amanda, check.

Amanda was taking out massive shovels at a time,

and I'm thinking she just needed to calm down

and she needed to check in between each scoop.

This is so annoying.

You've got this, Anurag! Well done, bro!

That's it! Good work.

Bro, they're still trying to sort it out.

Amanda, check.

This is so frustrating!

- That's the Big Ant. - It is, too.

- Found him. - Good job.

- G'day, mate. Yes. - Gentlemen.

- Find any unused table. - Yeah.

Mix the ingredients.

So, go over there and pour all your things in the test tube.

Slowly with this one.

Slowly?

I'll put in there.

Put it in quickly and stand back.

- She took off, didn't she? Mate! - Oh, mate.

It was going!

It looked like me after eight weeks.

Happy days.

Thank you very much.

Beautiful. Road Block.

- "Who's watching their weight?" Yeah. - I'll do it.

Oh, baby, I feel so sick!

I know you do.

No, but it's like that vomit time, OK? It's that bad.

- OK. - Ugh!

What do you want to do? Give up?

No, I just want to walk. I've told you three times.

OK.

- Are we going the right way? - Yeah.

- It's definitely this way? - Oh, my God. I'm so over you!

OK, can you not yell at me? There it is.

Right, find a table and mix the ingredients.

Work quickly and stand back.

Whoo-hoo!

- Thank you so much. - Your next clue. - Thank you very much.

OK, Road Block. "Who's watching their weight?"

- I'll do this one. - Up to you.

- Let's go. - OK.

You've got to check.

Come on, Anurag! Good work!

That's it!

What the hell?

The problem is...

- Is this too light or too heavy? - Too heavy.

..this grit has some really big rocks in it,

and then some fine sand.

So each shovel-full is such a different weight.

Check.

Yeah, take it off. Thank you.

- This is so annoying. - You're killing it, Amanda.

So, where are you thinking it might be?

Well, there's a thing called Junction Crescent

and there's a mine there.

What's this to our right here, mate?

- Yeah, that's... - What's it called?

Oh, hang on you might be able to get to it...

What's this?

- Are we on Eyre Street? - Uh, couldn't tell you.

- Turn around. - Turn around, you reckon?

- Are we far... There's Comstock Street. - Eyre Street.

- Turn around, yeah, turn around. - Ah.

Sorry, bro.

Um, at the moment we've still got the lead on Chris and Aleisha,

so we've just got to try and get in and get this challenge done.

Find the bloody thing first.

- Nothing on your map? - No.

One thing goes wrong, and we keep, like,

spiralling down into this, like, frustration with each other.

And it's pretty hard for us to get out of these bad moods.

But the pressure is just like...

- We snapped out of it. - Yeah, we did, we snapped out of it.

So now we're snapped out of a bad mood, we can do anything!

OK, which way?

So, keep going to the end of this road. So, go back to the right.

- Go right? - Yes, right.

- OK, we came from the left. - Uh-huh. Go right.

I'm glad this is Road Block.

It wasn't about just putting up the barrel.

You had to make sure the weight was perfectly balanced.

And that was the hard part.

Check, please.

Aw!

- You're nearly there, bro. - Killing it!

Could you please check?

Whoo!

- Thank you. - Thank you. Thanks so much.

"Drive to Silverton and find the John Dynon Gallery

"and count the wheels on all the pushbikes

"to receive your next clue."

Teams must make the 20-kilometre drive

to the outback mining town

of Silverton,

made famous for its silver rush in the 1800s

and for providing the backdrop to Mad Max 2.

Once here, teams must find the gallery

of famous outback artist John Dynon.

They must then count the wheels on all of the gallery's pushbikes and tricycles.

When they hit the right tally of 107 wheels,

they'll receive their next clue.

Whoo! We're in first for once!

And your direction skills today are so good.

Thank you, I'm trying so hard.

Yes!

They won't be far behind us though, hey?

I know.

We got to the Road Block

in third place.

We know we need a classic Chris and Aleisha comeback here.

That's grit. You've got to collect it.

So where is he going to collect it?

Boys, where do you get your grits from?

- All around you. - OK. - Anywhere you want.

Anywhere you want.

Check up here, babe.

Coming into the pointy end of the race now.

Oh, Aleisha, I think it just means anything, right?

- No. - Good work, bro.

We will not misguide. We will also not guide.

- Oh, so it's just dirt from anywhere. - Yeah.

Do you think it could be up here?

Aleisha, you've got to go and sit on there.

It says, "Once you sit..."

Aleisha, just go sit on there.

- This is my Road Block. - Alright.

There's grits you've got to collect.

Boys, where do get your grits from?

- All around you. - OK. - Anywhere you want, bro.

Anywhere you want.

- Check up here, babe. - Push, push, push.

Push, this is our chance.

Oh, it's over there, baby.

Right, they're still trying to sort it out.

You've got this, bro. Well done.

I had to fill that wheelbarrow with piles of grit.

Aleisha had to jump on one end of the seesaw and I had to fill up

the other end of the seesaw so they would balance out.

Whoo!

Yeah, we know we're last. Yeah, this is not what we needed.

- That's Junction Mine just here, bro. - Beautiful.

Ooh, screechy!

Let's go.

Alright, the cowboys are here.

I'm not that heavy, so you just move really fast.

You can get this.

Whoo!

Great challenge for us because, out of all the teams,

Aleisha is definitely the lightest one.

Argh!

I'm little!

You're doing real good.

I knew I wouldn't have to shovel as much dirt

as some of the other teams.

Ah! Not much more, baby.

Good job, bro. You're going good.

I knew Brendon was tougher than the rest of them.

I knew he could get it done quick. Anurag and Jas were there.

Amanda and Ashleigh had just left. I thought, "We're not that far behind.

"This is our chance to make some time up." Good job, bro.

It's sort of like a bucking bronco.

Give me a ride, brother! Give me a ride!

Let's go!

Ow!

Hey, Bren!

Too much weight on it!

I told you I've lost some weight.

Take some out?

I think so. I haven't moved.

Look at what Anurag and Jas have been doing. We've got to get it level.

- Any way to get it level. - Push it down the outside. Light touch.

Being out in the middle of the desert, 35-degree heat,

beating down sun, and there's 45km winds,

there's dust flying everywhere, it was tough.

Check, please.

No.

Bit less, bro. A tiny bit less.

You've got this, bro. You got this. Come on.

"Count only the wheels within the marked area.

"A wheel must have spokes and rim.

"Bicycle and tricycle wheels only."

There were a lot of bikes in this yard

and a lot of them were broken and some of them didn't have wheels.

Ooh, it's windy. Alright. Let's start counting.

Five, six, seven... Oh, this is getting confusing.

We had to look really carefully in each section.

The wind has just picked up so much.

Your eyes feel like you need to wear goggles.

So what are you up to?

Well, now I've...

This is not working, the system we're doing.

OK.

Literally one or two rocks, that's it.

Righto. Let's scoop in again.

Good job, bro. You're doing good.

You got it, bro. You're that close. You're that close.

- I love you, baby. I love you! - Come on.

- I think jump off, I reckon. - Careful, I will jump off.

- I reckon that's it. - Check, please!

Yes! Thank you so much!

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you very much. Thank you.

We're back, baby! Stoked!

Rip!

"Find the John Dynon Gallery

"and count the wheels to receive your next clue."

Let's go.

Tiny, tiny bit.

This one has to be it. Check, please!

No.

- Just a fraction out, hey? - Yeah, just a touch.

I knew it mightn't move.

I knew it could stay steady and we'd get an exact idea where the balance was.

Let it go there.

Check, please!

- Spot on. - Good job, Bren.

- Well done, guys. - Thanks, mate, appreciate it.

Thank you.

"Find the John Dynon Gallery

"and count the wheels on all the pushbikes

"to receive your next clue."

Let's go.

We jumped the Sikhs.

And Ashleigh and Amanda were just leaving

as we were pulling up, too.

So we might not be as far behind as what we think.

Yep.

Chris and Aleisha are only minutes in front of us.

Jas and Anurag, they were struggling back there

so we knew we jumped from last to third.

So we were happy with that.

It's all to get to the finale.

The day doesn't stop until your feet hit the mat.

You've just got to keep working.

Babe, we're really good at jumping spots

when we're at the back

but we're not very good at maintaining our positions.

I was feeling really happy that we were in second.

If we could maintain second that's all we needed.

I feel good now. We just have to maintain this.

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

The pressure is real!

As long as we can make it to the top three. Keep pushing through.

We knew we were last.

It was super, super frustrating for me

to be sitting on the other side, not being able to do anything.

My ass is going to hurt after this.

Check, please.

No, the wind is blowing it all out.

It was stressful. I mean, we knew we were fourth.

We had seen every single team go through the Roadblock,

get the thumbs up and move onto the next challenge.

We're still literally sitting here.

- I can't touch it. - Go and add more.

- You know it's falling. - But I can't!

- I can't do it. - Dude, OK. A tiny bit, tiny.

You know what to do, bro.

There it is. The John Dynon Gallery.

- See that crazy building? - Oh, cool, OK.

We saw the girls were still there and we thought,

"Maybe we can overtake them here."

OK. Chris and Aleisha have just turned up.

Do you want to start here and work our way 'round the whole building?

OK, cool.

It was a little daunting that Chris and Aleisha

they were that close to us in this challenge,

as we thought we had quite a bit more of a lead.

- Do you want to add that to the 28? - Yeah.

There were wheels hung up on walls...

Wheels with, like, grass growing through them,

wheels that we could barely see

because they had obviously been there so long,

and we had to count all the wheels at the gallery.

And that's just in the marked area, as well.

Yeah, there's the marker there.

There's bikes everywhere, bro.

We knew we were only a couple of minutes behind Chris and Aleisha.

This next challenge, we knew we had to be thorough.

Let's go.

- Start here, yeah? - Yeah.

- Two, four. - Yeah.

Amanda and Ashleigh, they was still running around counting it.

Chris and Aleisha - Chris had a notepad out, writing it down.

It just meant that any mistake was going to cost you,

so we knew we had to be perfect.

- We say 67? - 67, yeah. 68, 69...

2 plus 14... 102. Let's go check.

- Hello, sir. Are you John? - Yep.

- G'day, John. - G'day, mate.

There's 102 wheels.

- Dammit. - Jeez, it's harder than it looks, hey?

Hi. I think we're ready for a check.

111.

Alright, let's keep counting.

We must have missed something.

Come on, bro. Now, push, push, push, push!

Push, push, push!

This has to be it.

- Thank you. - Well done, guys.

"Drive to Silverton.

"Count the wheels on all the pushbikes

"to receive your next clue."

- Let's go. - Go, go, go, go.

Started the day first, we slipped down to fourth right now.

Mate, that's not how we want to be racing.

We just need to hustle and get things done right, in one hit.

Shall I keep going through? I see signs. I see signs.

OK, good, good, good.

We got there and we saw every other team running around, counting.

Did you count this wheel?

- 96, 97... - No, no. Motorbike.

Yeah, they're still bikes.

- It says pushbikes and tricycles. - OK. 96.

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

It's another counting task and the thing with counting tasks

is you could easily miss one, you may add one.

One, two...

Dust flying around, there's a dust storm rolling in.

It wasn't easy.

- That's it. - Did we miss any?

- No, those are done. - Three. OK.

- I have 107. - Let's try it.

- 105, 106 here... - 107, let's try it.

Alright. Hello.

We have got another attempt.

Is it 107?

- Thank you! - Thanks so much.

- G'day, mate. 107? - 107.

- Thanks, mate. - Thanks, bud.

- Cheers. - Appreciate it. Thank you.

"Make your way on foot to the Silverton pub."

"You must each scull a drink to receive your next clue."

Sipping champagne from a lady's slipper

has been an act of decadence since the early 20th century

but here in Australia,

we like to call the little party trick or act of celebration, a shoey.

Now, in this challenge, teams must come down to the Silverton Hotel

and meet my gorgeous friend Shelita Buffet.

All they've got to do is drink this cocktail of blended ingredients

from the Silverton pub menu from her glamorous footwear

to receive their next clue.

Oh, yes.

If the boot fits, right?

That is disgusting.

Let's go.

"Enter via the marked entrance."

Let's go.

We knew it was tight.

Jumping up a spot, that was pretty huge.

Hello. We're ready to scull.

- You look amazing. - Thank you.

I'd say you do too, but you've been out in the dust.

Yeah.

We are greeted by the fabulous, wondrous Shelita Buffet.

And we are like, "Damn, you look amazing."

- We were there for so long. - Thank you.

Do you know what a drag queen is?

So I've just learnt what a drag queen is. I didn't know.

I thought it was a sheila. I didn't put two and two together.

I just thought, "Oh, you're fancy dressed out here."

- Mate... - Big... Big girl.

I've had some big 'uns in my time but... Oh, mate.

..she would have topped it.

Just makes me want to vomit, looking at this.

I don't know what it is.

It's this green, sludgy, goopy mix

that looked like someone just cleaned a drain in the toilet with

and then filled up this leather high heel boot with it,

like two litres of it.

Go, go, just start drinking.

"Finish the entire drink or a new one will be poured

"and you will have to start again.

"You must fully swallow all liquid."

- Good luck, boys! - Thank you.

Mate, whatever that was, it was putrid.

Don't smell it, just drink it.

Don't spew in it. Just drink it. Drink it. Drink it. You can do it.

I feel like I'm going to vomit.

Down it!

Oh, my God. I'm feeling so sick.

Hurry up. Down it, down it, down it! Come on.

Brendon and Jackson are making some weird noises.

- Oh, mate. - Come on, bro.

That's it. You can do it. You can do it.

You've got to scull it, bro, come on.

It is all pretty repulsive.

I feel like I'm going to vomit.

To show that you've finished the high heel,

you have to hold the empty shoe above your head.

OK, it's empty.

Thank you.

Come on, just get one more mouthful! Don't smell it.

Wait, why is she filling it again?

Oh, my god. We have to do two of them.

- What? - One each.

- Yeah, come on. - You're kidding me.

- Grab another one. - Come on.

Don't, don't, don't even do it.

Are we ready?

Down it, down it. One each.

- You're kidding me. - Grab another one.

Come on.

We had to do a shoey with an unidentified liquid

out of a fabulous boot.

Come on.

Don't, don't, don't even do it.

You can do it.

Ashleigh looked like death. Jackson's also vomiting.

Oh, mate.

Stop being so weak!

Come on, bro. Get it down.

So basically it was Brendon and I doing the shoey.

It's all done, it's all done, it's all done.

Oh, no, it's not.

OK. Yeah, it's all done, babe.

- Thank you so much! - Thank you!

Let's go. Thank you, thank you. You look amazing.

Yoo!

"Route info - make your way on foot to the Mad Max Museum

"to find Beau at the pit stop."

Just up the road past the John Dynon Gallery

is the local museum which celebrates another iconic Aussie movie.

In 1981, the dusty town of Silverton

was the feature location for Mad Max 2.

And the Mad Max Museum, where I'm standing right now,

is the Pit Stop for the 22nd leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

- OK, let's go. - Quick, quick, quick.

Lollipops, strawberries, yum, all the good stuff.

- What is in it? - That's it.

Come on, you can do it.

I was like, "Mate, I am struggling bad with this."

As soon as it got inside a little bit,

I threw up straightaway in the bin.

You're going to have to help me, dude. I can't do it on my own.

Do one more and I'll finish it off.

I knew we were sitting in second place at that point,

so I was like, "Come on. We've got to get it down."

I wasn't even thinking about it.

That's it.

Moral of the story, don't ever accept a drink from a drag queen.

No, especially in a high heel boot.

Thank you.

"Make your way on foot to the Mad Max Museum

"to find Beau at the Pit Stop.

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

- What about this one? - No, no, that's not a push bike.

- OK. - 16, 17.

104, 105, 106...

- That's it. I think that's good. - Did we miss any?

- No, those are done. - Three, OK.

Are there any that we've missed, like, out a bit?

Oh, do you think... Do you think that one's in?

- Oh, babe. - Let's go.

109.

- No. - No? Dammit.

Lets do it again. Let's do it again, OK?

Shall we go the other way around?

OK, so 107?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

We saw the Sikhs struggling to get the right answer.

- Mm-hm. Yeah. - Why is that not a wheel?

We knew if we could get this done faster than them

we wouldn't be in last place.

Hello, sir. 107.

- Yes! Thank you so much. - Thank you very much.

Thank you. Love your place, have a good one!

Have a good one.

"Make your way to Silverton pub."

"Drink from some fabulous footwear to receive your next clue."

We have overcome so much, done more legs than any other team.

We've had three Sabotages, huge penalties,

but we're fighters and we'll stay in it.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Oh, my God!

This way. This way. This way. Baby, where are you going?

- That could be a pub. But there's flags. - This way! Baby, this way.

- Mad Max Museum is that way! - Yeah!

Aleisha, that's not the pub!

It could be, baby. That could be a pub.

..10, 11...

Guys, guys!

- Oh! Girls! - Help us out.

- Girls! Wait, wait, wait! - Wait, wait, wait!

107.107.

- Oh, they're telling them! - For sake!

Alright. Come on.

Our alliance with the Sikhs

has always been strong since early on.

We promised them a long time ago that we would help them out

when we can and they were to help us out

and that we would never U-Turn each other

or would never cross each other.

- I saw flags over there, see? - Oh, that's the hotel.

107.

Thank you! Let's go. Let's go.

Today the girls told us the answer.

'Cause there's been so many circumstances

when we've gone out of our way to help everybody else,

and Amanda and Ashleigh have clearly seen that.

Just read.

"Make your way on foot to the Silverton pub.

"You must each scull a drink from some fabulous footwear

- "to receive your next clue." - Let's go.

We knew we were still last

but we can beat Chris and Aleisha in a foot race.

This one's closer!

There's flags here too!

Chris and Aleisha, they were fighting each other,

and we just legged it.

Keep going. Keep going.

It's game on. It's do or die, right here, right now.

If we don't give it all, we will be going home.

- Aleisha, please come on! - No!

Aleisha, please, come on!

I can't, baby. I can't. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!

- Go, go, go, go. - Keep going, keep going!

Hey, there.

We overtook Chris and Aleisha right at the door,

which meant we'd get served the drink first.

Can we have a beer, please?

- They cheated, they told... - I know.

Don't worry about that, baby. We can still catch up.

- No, we can't! - I know it's not fair but we can catch up.

We've got to finish it all.

Don't smell the liquid. Just got to empty your mouth.

I couldn't care how it looked, I couldn't care how it smelt,

I couldn't care how it tasted, that adrenaline had kicked in.

Come on, Jas. Finish it, finish it.

If I drink this, I get to move on.

If I don't drink this, I'm going home.

- Whatever it is, I'm drinking it. - Well done, well done. You're done.

Keep going, you can do it. Keep going. Swallow it up.

- We've got to run after this. - You've got this, bro.

Swallow it down.

Do you want some water? Do you want some water?

OK, thank you.

Mad Max Museum's that way.

Oh, I see the flags!

- This is it. This is top three, bro. - I see it. I see it.

- This is top three. - Yeah.

Adrian, if you could pick one item,

just one, that you are most proud of in the museum, what would it be?

That is a really difficult question

but it would have to be the boomerang.

The boomerang?

The aluminium boomerang that the Feral Kid had.

It is so iconic.

That's probably the one that I would pick, I think so.

Come on, bro. Come on! Top three!

Come on, babe. Push, push, push.

Remember what we're here for. Push yourself!

Yes, yes!

- Welcome to Silverton. - Thank you!

Ashleigh and Amanda, you are the first team to check-in!

We have won eight legs in The Amazing Race,

which is such an awesome achievement.

You have also won an escape to the Shangri-La Hotel in Cairns

in a Horizon Suite thanks to 10traveller.com

and, of course, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts.

- Amazing! - Fancy!

One step closer to 250 grand.

Well done, girls. Super impressive.

I'll see you soon. Welcome to the final three.

- Thank you, Beau. - Thanks, Beau. - Good job.

Brendon and Jackson, you are the second team to check-in.

And boys you are in the final three.

- Yeah, buddy. - Told you!

How do you feel, man?

- Top of the world now. - That was a big day.

- We went from first to fourth... - Back up.

..from a taxi and...

We had to push today. We had to push deep.

Today was a good day.

We struggled but we knew we had to chase.

We just kept lapping them up, the challenges. It's what we do.

Top three is a...

That's a huge accomplishment on its own.

That's the stuff!

This is going to determine who wants it the most.

Well done. Terrific effort.

- The race ain't done yet. - The job's not finished yet.

It's nothing. It's just like chutney.

We knew it was on.

We knew all of a sudden we had caught up a place,

we were not in the last position and potentially not going home.

You've got this, bro. Keep going.

We did not want to let this one slip out of our hands.

We know Chris, he was not going to stop,

he would gun through the shoey.

- Thank you. - Thank you, thank you.

Let's go!

"Make your way on foot to the Mad Max Museum

"to find Beau at the Pit Stop."

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

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

Thank you so much.

- Thank you. - Thank you so much.

Thank you very much.

"Make your way on foot to the Mad Max Museum

"to find Beau at the Pit Stop.

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

- Swap. I'll take your bag. - Yeah.

- Where's Aleisha? Are they behind us? - Keep going, keep going.

- There's the flags! - Keep going. A little bit further.

- Let's run, let's run. - Quick.

Don't slow down.

Welcome to Silverton.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

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

You're in the final three.

Alright, boys, go and get the dust off your face, and I'll see you soon.

- Well done. - Thanks, Beau. - Thanks, Beau.

They told each other.

It's all good, darling, take your time.

Come on, Aleisha.

Come on. Stand up.

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

And you're eliminated.

It wasn't a fair fight.

Just furious.

You know, it's not just how physical you are, or mental.

The race is strategy as well.

You guys gave it everything and more.

And you're still carrying her bag.

Unfortunately, guys, time is over.

The race is so much tougher than I thought it would be.

This is 10 times harder than I ever imagined it would be.

Oh, my God!

But Aleisha's a great race partner.

Whoo-hoo!

She has been running side-by-side with really strong guys and girls...

Yes! We've got this, baby!

..and she's been holding her own.

- I'm so proud of you, baby. - I did it!

Chris is awesome.

He knows when to push me...

Good job, baby. Keep going!

..and when to have a great time and laugh it out...

Oh, this is going to be in my dreams for the next year.

..and he carried us a lot through this race.

I love you, baby. I love you!

So I owe all these legs to this guy right here.

- I love you. - Yeah, you too.

Next time on The Amazing Race Australia...

A 10-metre leap of faith through flame bars.

..out final three teams get fired up...

Go, buddy!

That was sick!

..in the big smoke.

The Sikhs are definitely our biggest threat

because Sydney's their hometown.

And in the race's penultimate leg...

We know once it's game on, there's no friends.

..the alliance is over...

- Oh, my God! - It was on like Donkey Kong.

Sikhs are there!

..as all three teams fight to be in the finale.

You are... the last team to check-in.
