Original subtitles

(SHOUTS) We're coming for you!

That is incredible.

..in spectacular Angkor Wat,

a Cambodian delicacy...

WOMAN: Big, black, hairy tarantulas.

..ended the rice for Bec and Kate.

It's been such an incredible adventure,

getting to travel the world and see all of these amazing places.

Tonight, our celebrities...

Oh, man, it's a whole floating village.

..return to the classroom.

Back to school!

(THEY SING)

But there's hard lessons...

I'm sorry, I just can't today. OK, then I'll do it myself!

I just want to go home.

..and not everyone rises to the top of the class.

Whoa, whoa, bro! Sorry! Lean back.

Before the blistering sun...

It's melting my skin. The sticks really hot.

..and the blisters... Ah! (BLEEP)

..take their toll.

You think it was the other way? Come on swim!

It's all fun and games until someone comes last.

Brutal day. (SOBS)

The mighty Mekong River system flows through six countries

on the Asian continent.

When it reaches Cambodia,

it feeds this massive lake.

Tonle Sap in Cambodia is the largest freshwater lake

in the whole of South-East Asia,

and for a million people, it's their home.

In fact, many have never set foot on dry land.

Welcome to the eighth leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

And how good's family?

Teams have made their way overnight from the kingdom of Angkor Wat

to the edge of this giant lake,

and will be departing in the order they arrived

at the last pit stop.

Here we go.

"Make your way to Tonle Sap Lake District."

"On your way, purchase school supplies

"from the Tonle Angkor bookstore."

"To deliver them to the floating primary school."

It's tough for people living in a floating village

to access resources.

So, for this challenge, teams must visit a land-based bookshop

to purchase school supplies,

then travel by boat to the Chong Kneas Floating School

and hand over the supplies to receive their next clue.

BOTH: Let's go!

We'll get back in that nice, fancy hotel.

Yeah, that's the goal.

It's been a minute since we've been back in the Winner's Circle,

but plan to stay here from now until the end of the race.

I think we're still the team to beat.

Alright, let's go, sir! Thank you.

Yeehaw!

Let's go.

Aw!

"On your way, purchase school supplies..."

"To deliver them to a floating primary school."

Let's go. I hate school.

So, today, I know it's a bit stressful,

but we've really got to try not to get angry.

This race is hard.

The challenges are tough and it's been quite draining emotionally.

One day, we're best friends and then we're having a bit of a fight.

We just have to be really conscious of each other.

Ultimately, it's about growing as a mother and son.

We pull each other through. You pull me through a challenge

I'm struggling with. I'll pull you through a challenge you're struggling.

CORNELIS: Yeah.

OK. Here we go.

Here we go. Thank you.

Can we get some HB pencils and a big pack of pens?

Hello. How are you? Alright, buddy, let's go.

You look for the toys.

One pack of A5 exercise books. Got it. Got it.

Mum and I know everything and more about each other.

So I think we know when to push, when to back away.

So I think as a team, we've gotten really strong.

Let's go....six footballs.

Erasers, rubbers?

Thank you.

ALLIE: But all five teams are super strong.

Competition is getting pretty tight now.

So, yeah, you're just on constant like, fight or flight...

(FLY BUZZES) ..the whole time.

Flew into my ear.

Thank you very much.

Take care.

Alright, let's go, darling. Thank you.

We do need to be quick in the challenges. Yeah.

We started in fourth today.

Very far back in the pack. Second to last.

Yeah, that's now five.

Really got to make our way back up to the top.

My competitive side is really starting to come out

and I'm ready to go.

Hello. We'll be back in two seconds.

Hello! Oh, look at the toys.

We'll be back in one second.

Hello, my love. You know what we need to get?

So many things! Uh-huh!

I was definitely that child that had a new pencil case every day.

There is so much stationery.

I absolutely just... I just love stationery shopping.

OK! Ooh, which one do we want to get?

Books. Toys. Stickers. We love it.

This is cute.

Oh! That's cute, that one. That one.

ABC.

The exercise books, we would have to cover them.

And then mum had to do the contact and spread it out with the ruler

and make sure it was perfect and had no bubbles.

Yay! Thank you so much. Thank you.

We could have been in there all day. Thank you!

Thank you so much.

There's going to be some happy kids.

(MUSIC PLAYS)

Oh.

Alright, here we go.

How lucky are we to be doing this wonderful trip around the world

together that most uncle-and-nephew duos would never even think of?

Wow!

Let's get the turbo mode on, sir.

Whoo-hoo!

This is so cool.

Right, let's go buddy.

Oh, man, it's a whole floating village.

Oh, wow.

It's like that movie Waterworld with Kevin Costner.

Well, man, I've never seen anything like this before.

It's amazing! Look at them all. They're so beautifully coloured.

It was like an entire city on the water.

There was people everywhere. There was boats everywhere.

There was houses on stilts in the water, floating boats,

floating schools, floating shops.

It was quite extraordinary.

Look, buddy, I think it might be a school.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Thank you.

Oh, back to school.

Never went the first time.

Headmaster, how are you?

OK. We brought you some things, and then we brought just some...

..some toys.

(DING!) Oh, thank you, sir.

I appreciate ya.

Alright, here we go.

That was my best run-in with the headmaster so far.

"Learn a familiar song in Khmer from schoolchildren

"and perform it correctly to receive your next clue."

It's a school day in Chong Kneas Village

and today our students are going to teach our teams a song.

You might know it. Take it away.

(SING OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM IN KHMER)

Could you sing it in the Khmer language?

If they get it right... (SHOUT HAPPILY)

..they'll receive their next clue.

But if they get it wrong... (BOO)

..well, it's back to the start of the lesson.

This one's going to be tough. Yeah, this is going to be...

This is one for the Simpsons, I think.

Oh, and Emma.

Hey!

(SING OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM IN KHMER)

I know this one.

(SING OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM IN KHMER)

Not one to shy away from centre stage, me,

but the tough little song to learn in the local lingo.

OK, whoa, whoa, whoa. One bit at a time.

You alright with the toys?

Oh, thank you, yeah. Thanks. You good?

Headmaster. Headmaster.

We have toys. Toys galore.

(DING!) Thank you.

Thank you very much.

It was such a magical and surreal feeling walking into a classroom

on this boat.

I was excited about it because I am a singer.

I thought, "I can do this."

How hard can it be?

I got this, and I'll be good at teaching you.

(DING!) Thank you very much. Thank you.

Cheers. Thank you.

Alright. Ready?

I am a mum-of-six.

It's important, you know, that each child feels that love.

Come on, buddy.

Cor and I have this opportunity to spend one on-one-time together.

We have been so close for so many years.

But this is a challenge.

We have a great mother-son relationship,

but it's really being put to the test.

(SING OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM IN KHMER)

COR: Gosh, this is going to be hard. We're going to learn to do the best we can. Alright.

Look at the babies!

TEDDY: Oh, wow.

Harry and I have really been focusing on an attitude of gratitude

because we feel really grateful that we're here.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Oh, that's crazy.

We want to win this race, we really do,

but we also want to enjoy this

because this is going to be memories forever.

Back to school.

Thank you.

I think it's been a blessing to be able to come on this race.

Hello.

It's a chance for us to show our sisterly bond

and also our teamwork and cooperation.

(DING!) Thank you. Thank you.

Nice.

"Learn a familiar song in Khmer from schoolchildren

"and perform it correctly to receive your next clue."

We love working with children. We're children's entertainers.

We love a song and a dance. We've done this our whole lives.

Our brains are just kind of wired to this kind of learning.

This is our element. We can do this.

Thank you. That was amazing!

(DING!) Thanks so much. Thank you guys.

Here we go.

I'm deathly afraid of schools because every school I've been to,

I've been kicked out of.

(SINGS OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM IN KHMER)

Oh, my God!

DARREN: You tell me if it's OK, kids, you're the judge, OK?

Tristan, take it away, brother.

(THEY TRY TO SING IN KHMER)

(LAUGHS) I can't remember the words. The second one.

(ATTEMPTS TO REPEAT IN KHMER)

(THEY TRY TO SING IN KHMER)

(SINGS OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM IN KHMER)

This is hard, bro.

(THEY SING IN KHMER)

If we get it wrong, we start from the beginning.

I know, but there's no point getting upset with me, I'm just trying to get the words.

Yeah, let's start from the beginning if we stop. Ready?

(THEY SING IN KHMER)

Are you doing it too quickly?

No, I'm doing it to the... Go up.

(THEY SING IN KHMER)

You need to get your hands right 'cause it's messing me up.

(SING IN KHMER)

(THEY ARGUE OVER THE PRONUNCIATION)

Baby, that's the best I can say it. I'm doing the best that I can.

Not superhuman, mate.

Today, I don't know if it was just seeing the kids.

There was a perfect little girl in our pupils

that looked and smiled exactly like one of my daughters.

And I don't know, just the emotions build up and very much overcome me.

I'm sorry, I just can't today.

OK, then, I'll do it myself.

(STARTS SINGING IN KHMER) No, Mum, stop, stop.

I'll just try myself.

I just want to go home.

You have really hurt my feelings. What do you mean?

No, I'm just sick of you yelling at me. You have no right, mate.

No, I'm just telling you, maybe that was one of the problems. No, stop, enough. Enough, Cornelis.

We could probably improve our communication.

I actually need to realise everyone has flaws.

Can you just do the hand movements? Yeah.

'Cause then it's technically between us.

I can try.

You can do it, Mum.

Alright, ready? Ready, kids? Ready.

Three, two, one...

(START SINGING IN KHMER)

It's chee-dar-nom. Yeah, great. Yeah.

(SING IN KHMER)

(SING IN KHMER)

Oh, dammit!

No...

It's not good? Oh.

And here we go. Five, six, seven, eight...

(SING OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM IN KHMER)

(CONTINUE SINGING IN KHMER)

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you for teaching us. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

We nailed it. We nailed it!

Wow. Wow.

What does this mean? Detour, Detour.

OK, here we go.

BOTH: "Fish or farm?"

BEAU: A Detour is a choice between two challenges,

each with its own pros and cons.

In this Detour, teams must choose between Fish or Farm.

On the lake, you need to be self sufficient.

Shrimp is a big part of the daily diet,

and here the villagers have an ingenious way of catching them.

First, they get a tree root and put some shrimp bait underneath it.

That way the shrimp have got somewhere to hide from people and predators.

They've also got something to eat as well.

Then they lift the tree root out...

Pull it out.

..and gently slide the net underneath,

catching as many as they can.

Teams must take the net and row the boat along the traps.

Fishing like this is a lot of effort for not much return.

They need to collect an entire cup of shrimp

to receive their next clue.

You can't make a complete meal without greens.

These floating garden beds are a one-stop fruit and veg shop

for the entire village, but our teams must plant them

just right to ensure that they get a bumper crop for the entire year.

Once the crop is planted, they must correctly identify and label

each plant to receive their next clue.

I think the shrimp could be easier. OK.

There's only five teams left.

You have no time to make errors now,

so you need to choose the right Detour.

Choose your instinct. I think fish.

Fish. Let's fish. We love fish. Let's go.

OK. OK.

Just get in the row boat. You go at the front.

Wow.

Hopefully, this one's quite easy.

We've just got to watch the demonstration.

We've got to watch them.

Oh, wow.

So they've picked it up and they put it in the bucket.

Is that a shrimp? Oh, wow.

Those things?

We have never fished. We never fished at all.

We have this huge net on our boat.

And we had to row ourselves to certain markers,

pick up that marker, which was basically a whole bunch of sticks,

and then shake that into the net.

It looked easy. When the guy did it, it looked very easy.

How did we go from singing Old MacDonald Had A Farm to this?

Can we get a judge?

(SING OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM IN KHMER)

Yeah! Thank you.

I thought that was pretty good. Thank you.

Oh, thank goodness. Detour.

Oh. Fish or farm?

I think we'll be better at shrimping than planting. Let's do fish. OK, let's go. OK.

OK, look for a yellow flag.

I was quietly confident we could make up some ground

because I grew up with my dad being into boating and fishing.

Nice.

Sweet. I'm good at this.

I'm just worried that this is going to be a longer challenge

than the others.

Oh, gosh. That's Alli and Angie.

OK, we need to be quick.

We're always trying to be positive. We'll get there. Don't worry. Keep going.

We've got this. We can do it.

I'll be watching them out there. How they do it.

So we lift it up and see if there's any shrimp on that?

And we put them in the bucket.

Grab it. That's it. Oh, it's heavy.

The physical challenge of trying to throw the things in the boat,

keeping the balance of the boat.

How do these people do it?

All this work for this little reward, which was very frustrating.

Alli, here. That's it.

OK.

Oh, gee, we're going to have to get a lot.

(SINGS OLD MACDONALD HAD A FARM IN KHMER)

(CONTINUE SINGING)

Hello! Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah! Oh, thank you!

OK. Three, two, one...rip!

Yeah.

OK, what's in it?

Oh, Detour. Oh, yeah.

So, shrimp or the other one, mate? You got is good.

Shrimp. OK.

Bye. KIDS: Bye!

If you wanted, I can focus on the dance moves.

Yeah.

If you want to focus on the getting the words right.

Yeah, alright. Does that work? Yeah, yeah.

OK, let's try that.

(PRACTICE SINGING)

I'm a great singer.

I just let these pipes on the loose.

COR: You're doing good, Mum. Just say the stuff you know.

You know, it's just it's hard when you're someone who obviously strives

for success in life to then know you're actually very human

and you do have that vulnerable side,

but you're not always going to be winning.

You're not always going to be doing your best.

I'm actually going to really rely on Cor's ability to pull us through this challenge.

Alright, guys, try one more time.

(SING IN KHMER)

(SINGING CONTINUES)

Yes. Thank you.

It's all on you, mate. I didn't do it.

I am going to have to rein in my emotions

and allow us to be equals in this race.

Detour. Detour.

Fish or farm?

I don't know.

We're going to farm. Let's go. let's go.

(SINGS IN KHMER)

Yay!

That was the one.

You did so good. Oh, man.

BOTH: Whew!

Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. We love you guys.

Here we go. Fish or farm? Let's do farm.

Let's go.

Is there anything in there? There's none.

None? None.

Are you getting lots? 'Cause we're not getting any.

Just a few.

Oh, Darren and Tristan are over there.

Oh, the boys are here.

Seeing Darren and Tristan come in, they could be really fast at this. Yeah.

And then we need to really hurry up, because knowing them, they'll just take over everyone.

Oh, Angie and Alli are here. What?

Yeah. Over there.

And so are Emma and Hayley. Oh, and the two girls. Yeah.

What do we have to do to get these couples away from us?

It's just never ending.

They're just always there.

So pick up the reeds. Yeah.

They put the shrimp in there.

There's going to be a lot of work to catch up.

Push back, push back, push back.

Mate, do you want me to row? Not really.

The only rowing I do is in the gym, on the little machine.

Just give me a minute. Hey, I haven't done this before.

Every time he'd move,

it was like Donkey Kong on that little cart that he drives around.

You know what I mean? It's like, how is this staying up?

Yeah? Yep.

Great shake. Great shake. Oh, my oar. Grab it!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don't lean back. (BLEEP) the oar, mate.

You're flooding us. Sorry, sorry.

(BLEEP) Dude.

Oh, my God. Darren and Tristan.

Go to the back, quickly, quickly, before we sink.

Go to the back, quickly.

Nah, we're sinking, dude!

(BLEEP) We're sunk.

Oh, my God, their boat's sunk!

Their boat's capsized.

We're sunk!

Totally trapped in strange new environment.

Local people come to help us,

as we're slowly sinking through some kind of clammy mud.

Things nipping at my ankles could be poisonous.

(SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY)

OK, let's go. Let's beat the boys.

I won't make a very good pirate, that's for sure.

(BLEEP)

I don't want to be on a boat with you ever again.

Well... In any form. ..the feeling is quite mutual.

Good.

I'm really wishing we did the gardens right now.

Oh, my God. People live here?

Yeah, this is crazy, bro.

How do they get Amazon packages?

Come on, bud. You got to turn this way, bud. OK.

I've done a little bit of gardening in the past,

so we went with the gardening challenge.

Start getting out, mate. I'm just balancing us. I'm all good.

OK, so we can draw it, right? OK. Draw a square.

Really, actually didn't look that hard.

We had to look at an example flowerbed

and then replicate it with the same fruit and everything.

Except there was no fruit or flowers!

It was all, what are they called? Herbs, buddy.

(LAUGHS)

OK, in this column here, there is five plants.

We thought we just had to make sure we lined up the right herbs

in the right line, and then we had to label them.

Grab that, one of those. One of the big one.

Why have you bought four of these? You only need three.

I grabbed two.

I love gardening, so that's probably why I was happy to do this one.

I've had a bit of a stress day,

so it's quite nice to come and do something that I like find relaxing.

No, no, definitely not. That's where lemongrass... Oh, no.

So remember - one, two, three, four.

So it's there? It's here.

I got it, I got it. Why can't I help?

Grab another one. That is... That was my one.

Stop it, mate.

We come into this challenge,

we see Jana and Cor yelling at each other, covered in mud.

Just hold it quickly. Let me help.

Can you imagine if we bickered like that? That would be so sad.

No, it's not. We're going to do...

Stop, stop. It's not holy basil.

Gardening is so relaxing and calming.

And these guys are just having a war right here.

That is not holy basil.

Taste... Taste the big one, then.

Tell me it's basil.

I never want to fight. I love you, bro. I love you, bro.

It's kind of nice, bro. It's good. It's relaxing.

Gardening together, other side of the world.

I'm channelling my inner nana.

I'm about to go full nan-mode.

I can see the shrimp.

Come here.

Come to me.

Get out, you (BLEEP) shrimp!

Oh, (BLEEP). Sorry.

Alright, that's enough. See what we got.

Let's see the spoils for our family in the house.

Absolutely nothing.

Where are the prawns? This is...

Calm your titties. You need to calm your titties, too.

Ow!

Shake it. Shake. Shake it. Yes, Emma, that's great!

There was one that we picked up with all the sticks on it,

and we caught so many shrimp in that one go,

and that really helped us along.

There were big shrimp, too. Like, I was like, "Whoa, here we go!"

Oh, my God, look how many we've got!

Do you reckon we have enough for that cup yet?

Why don't we go and check?

Hello. Hello.

We've done so well.

OK.

Yes!

Thank you!

Oh... No, I had prawny fingers.

That was a bad one. Oh, no. Oh, Roadblock.

BOTH: "Who wants to go against the grain?"

Jasmine rice grown here is called phka rumduol.

It's the pride of the country.

It's been voted the best rice in the world.

Not once, but five times.

But making the rice edible is hard yakka.

Teams will pound the kernels to separate the grain

from its protective husk.

By tossing the rice, the heavier grains are left behind.

They'll need a full cup to receive their next clue.

I could do it. OK, this is good.

Alli, don't go forward too fast.

You need to get in.

Hello. Pull in, pull in.

Pull.

Pull. Thanks.

Fill it up, Alli.

Come on, we can do it. Come on.

Wahey! Yes.

MAN: OK. Thank you. Thank gosh.

I have so much respect for the Cambodian people,

especially living out that far on the water.

Absolutely. And doing everything they can

to provide for themselves, their families, the community.

And it's just tireless work, like, you just have so much respect.

Look how tired we were from one fishing challenge...

And we didn't get nothing. ..for just one little cup of shrimp,

which wouldn't even feed a family. No.

BOTH: Thank you.

Oh, let's go, Mum.

First to arrive at the shrimp fishing, which was good,

and we were also the first to leave, which was great.

I think we're possibly up the top of the pack at the moment.

It looked like that many bags at the bag drop... Yeah.

..which gives me a bit of confidence.

Yeah, a bit of hope.

Sayonara, Darren and Tristan!

(BOTH LAUGH)

So everyone's gone bar us.

We could be running last, bro, if that flower challenge is easy.

The girls wiped the floor with us.

To pick those reefs out was just very physical.

That should have been our time to shine.

(BLEEP)

At this point, we might be last.

Argh, bud!

You had PTSD? Yeah. It's OK, I ate it.

I'm going to start labelling. Yeah.

Oh, no. There's a few that I don't have any idea what they are.

OK. Well, this is lemongrass, right?

Let's just put it there. No, spring onion.

Spring onion. I've got that as spring onion.

OK. That's spring... Yeah, you're right.

Am I? Yeah.

I think the hardest part of the challenge

was naming each individual plant.

Yeah, we had to label papaya, chilli, basil,

holy basil, spring onion... Taro.

Taro. Lemongrass.

And lemongrass. And piper lolot.

I don't know, sounds made up.

Basil? Yeah, taste is.

(SPLUTTERS)

It tastes like mud.

Oh, it's 'cause your fingers are covered in mud.

Oh. Yeah, eat a fresh one.

(LAUGHS)

Knowing the difference between basil and holy basil,

you know, I don't know which basils are religious and which ones aren't.

Check, please.

I love your hat. Looks beautiful.

Great hat.

I like your feet.

Fingers crossed, fingers crossed.

Let us go. Let us make us...

Oh, that quick?

Ooh, that didn't take long. Wow.

Check, please. Check.

It was tough. You know, you think you know what you're doing

and you don't really have any idea.

So that pressure was kind of cooking.

It started with us putting them where we thought.

No.

Put them where we thought. No.

This is definitely lemongrass. Yeah.

This is definitely spring onion. Yeah.

And that is definitely chilli. I think the big one's taro.

So the only ones we've got are holy basil, taro and basil left to pick.

We have to get this done or we could be last and we could be going home.

Got it? All righty.

Yep.

(EXCLAIMS LOUDLY)

Oh!

Mate, if we didn't get one that time,

we're never going to get one. Just watch, just watch.

Oh, that's a haul. Mate, I'm going to take us back.

Can we have a check, please?

What do you think, sir?

And there's more in the net, actually, also.

Oh, thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Oh, Roadblock. Shit.

"Who wants to go against the grain?"

Well, I've been doing that for my whole life. Let's do it more.

Alright. Thank you, sir.

Land ahoy!

Oh, mate, that was tough. That was hard.

I'm hoping the rice is pretty tough for the girls

and we can make up some places again.

Thank you. Is the river down here?

Oh, we walk.

If I've ever been ready for rice hulling, it's now. Yeah!

Hello.

Hi. Hello.

Tell us how to hull.

We had to hull and harvest rice.

Kind of smash the rice kernels to get the husk off.

Oh!

And then... And sieve it.

Yeah, like a big bamboo-esque kind of sieve,

to try and keep the heavy rice on one side and the husks on the other,

and to hull the rice properly.

And then you had to collect hulled rice in a silver container.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Get it. Yes! Go!

Whoa! High kick.

Well, I just thought you might as well.

We are hoping that we have enough tools in our tool kit

to win this race.

Hi, guys.

But Alli and Angie, they're here, and they're going to come in hot.

Oh, this is a bit heavy, isn't it?

Alli and Angie are like secret weapons.

They've got a lot of guts.

They power through and they also never give up.

So we need to move.

Holy... The rice hasn't come out of it.

Yeah? Keep going. You can't stop. Jesus.

This is the hard part.

Yeah, it's physical, I bet.

HAYLEY: Keep going, Em.

ALLI: Think I got the technique.

Al, just focus now. Don't talk.

All the other teams are on the way. Alli, focus.

All these plants taste like licorice to me.

You also have a gut full of spiders.

I don't freaking know. Can you try it, please?

What am I supposed to do? I have no idea.

I don't either. I'm guessing completely.

Try again.

No, that's not it. Well, just try.

That's no. No, no. But I'm gonna...

No, no, no, no, no, nine, 10, 11 times later!

I don't know what else to do because I've tried everything. Yeah.

OK, let's try next thing. Not holy basil.

So you don't think these are holy basil? At all.

Don't yell at me. I've said that to you at least 15 times today.

I don't know what we're doing wrong.

I give up. Nothing we can do. Stop.

Stop saying, "I give up."

I was losing a bit of faith in the actual challenge itself.

I was really sort of spiralling a little bit

because I really felt like I'd let Cor down on the previous challenge,

and I really wanted to make amends on this one.

Dirty hug.

So I guess Mum's reset switch is a big hug.

(LAUGHS)

Alright, let's go, buddy.

I love you so much.

Good job, Mum.

And I'm back in, changing them all around again

and moving them all around again.

Doesn't even look like a chilli, though. It's not.

Harry and Teddy are still there,

so we just had to really get in there and concentrate

because this was our opportunity.

That one is a holy basil 'cause it looks like a basil leaf.

I'm like moving them 100 million times.

Try that.

Oh, seriously? Oh, my God.

Thank you!

It was actually the most relief I felt on the race.

Right, it's a Roadblock.

"Who wants to go against the grain?"

I can do it. OK, good.

Let's go. Let's go.

OK.

Can we get a check, please?

BOTH: Yeah! Thank you so much!

You're amazing.

It's my turn. It's your turn.

And I ate stuff yesterday.

(LAUGHS) Oh, my God.

He's going to husk that rice like it owes him money.

As much as we have fun and smile and laugh and enjoy,

Harry and I are both competitive.

Let's do it, Teddy. Let's do it, bro.

Anything can happen in this race.

We're having fun, but we're not going to finish last.

So all I have to do is beat one team?

Yeah.

That's it. We've just got to beat one team.

Yeah. We're leaving, baby.

I think we're unfortunately second from the back, buddy.

I know that's a lot on me.

It's up to you now... Yeah.

..on the Roadblock, to stay in front of Teddy and Harry.

He's actually more competitive than I am.

As we've said. Yeah.

I want to come first!

So Cor really wants to win this.

We don't want to get eliminated. Yeah.

Our whole goal with anything is to never give up.

You've got it, Em.

Holy moly.

OK, well, I chose the station in the shade,

and it's too hot.

My arms are burning from the rowing.

So this is an extra burn.

Emma's got it down pat.

Yeah. Very nice.

I'm knackered.

Yeah, it was a tough one.

How long have you been here? A while.

Oh, God.

Oh. Hayley. What?

Look, look, look.

Oh, Emma. Great work!

Got your rice bubbles going, girl.

Got my rice bubbles! Got your rice bubbles.

We're super pumped.

We're in first place and we've got to keep this lead.

We can do it. Competitive sides are coming out.

Emma, that looks good. You got this, Emma.

Rice Queen...?

Oh. Thank you.

Can I exchange?

Thank you. (LAUGHS)

OK. Let's go. Let's go.

Oh, that was hard.

OK. Route info.

"Make your way on foot through the rice paddies

"to find Beau at the next pit stop.

"The last team to check in may be eliminated."

Originating in southern China, rice paddy farming

is now widely practised across the whole of South-East Asia.

Step outside any city in Cambodia,

and you'll be greeted with a patchwork of rice paddies

stretching right across the country.

Welcome to the very humid and boggy pit stop

for the eighth leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

We've got this. Stay on the rise.

I need your eyesight, Hayley.

Let's go there.

This is one of those moments

where the whole race could just change and flip the ladder.

Once you got out into the rice paddy and you could see nothing,

anyone's game.

See if we can see... We could lose this.

We could lose this in just this minute.

Uh-oh, here we go.

Who's here? Who is it?

Jana and Cor!

Got it.

The other teams started showing up, so the anxiety was rising,

but I was like, I've got the hang of it now, so if I can keep pushing,

my next few lots of rice will be better.

Sounds like cow shit. What's going on?

Just the man for the job. Give it a crack.

Why are you wet?

Why am I wet? Is that sweat?

That's pure sweat. And I went in the water, too.

Oh, God.

Smashing the shit out of this rice.

It took me, like, hours to just make

this tiny, little silver bowl of rice

that would feed one person.

I think I might do a check.

Do a check. OK.

Oh, yes. Oh, yay! Thanks, Mum.

Oh, yay! Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Keep your voice down. How good did I go?

So amazing. Well done. Yeah. Route info.

"Make your way on foot through the rice paddies

"to find Beau at the next pit stop."

So, Beau's out here somewhere? Yep. Let's find him.

What have you got there?

So that is a cake made from rice.

What is it, a cake?

Yes. A traditional cake of Cambodia.

You made that? Uh, yeah.

Normally, my family made the same style like that.

Can I...? Can I try some? Yeah.

OK. Please.

It's alright. Yeah.

Oh, gosh.

As if we can see anything.

What about over there? Let's go back this way.

Let's go this way.

See if we can see something from there.

EMMA: Let's walk quick. Can you walk quick?

Bigger steps?

Through there. There's some people.

Can't see anything at the moment.

Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.

Do you think it was the other way?

We had such a good lead. It's OK. It's alright.

I can see things. I can see people.

Can you have a look? Oh, my God, there he is!

Go! Oh, my God!

So this is Emma and Hayley.

My daughter loves Emma more than she loves me.

Wow!

Yeah. Big fan of the Wiggles.

Welcome to Tonle Sap.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Emma and Hayley, you are the first team to check in.

Oh, my gosh!

Girls, you know the drill.

Because you arrived at the mat first,

you will receive a hotel upgrade.

Congratulations, girls. Back where you belong.

Bring it in.

Feel like the rice gods were definitely smiling down on us today,

which was very, very nice.

Alli. Go, Mum!

I can see.

Oh! Thank God.

Oh, there they are. The girls. Oh, wow.

Angie and Alli, mum and daughter. Wow.

So they are...? Wow.

Is your back alright? Yeah, I'm alright.

Would you do this race with your mum?

No. No.

Alli!

Welcome to Tonle Sap.

Hello. Welcome.

Welcome, girls.

Alli and Angie, you are the second team to check in.

Yes. Nice, Mum.

What a day. What an effort.

It's been so physical. Oh, my gosh!

You've come this far... Yeah.

It feels amazing, actually, like, to even come this far.

And what beautiful memories to make.

It's game on.

Pressure's on. We're ready.

We're in 50-degree heat.

We're sweating our little bums off.

It's melting my skin. Put it in the shade.

This stick's really hot.

Push it towards the corner and...

Ah! (BLEEP)!

Oh!

I look over at Darren,

looks like he's just dived head first in a swimming pool.

He's struggling. He's not having a good time.

And being this close to us is kind of getting on his nerves.

(BLEEP) blisters all over my hand.

You got it, Harry. Believe in you, bro.

Hurry up!

Oh, easy for you to say up there on your throne, isn't it?

It's really tough when you know the survival of the team

relies on you, and you don't seem to be nailing the task.

Oh, bud.

Come on! That doesn't help.

Jana and Cor, they're just such stress heads,

at each other's throats the whole time.

And, yeah, it's painful to watch.

JANA: They're done, Cor. The boys, Harry and Teddy.

That's not going to help him.

Come on, encourage him. That's not going to help.

It would help me if it was me.

I know, but I could still get a fail here.

I'm quite protective of Cor.

I think we both are.

And I hear Jana kind of throw another dig at him, you know,

kind of putting the pressure on. You know, I couldn't help myself.

And I should never speak to someone like that, but I kind of just...

You've got to encourage this guy, like, he's 16 years old.

This is a lot of pressure.

I am too hard on myself at times.

It's pretty full on.

I was really struggling 'cause I was in a lot of pain

and all the pressure built up.

Oh. Your rice, bud!

You just kicked your bowl of rice.

Careful of the bowl! Yes, I see the ball.

Sorry.

I was walking over and I was so buggered

that I accidentally kicked the bowl. Oh!

But, luckily, not too much fell out, but it was still a setback.

We don't want to get eliminated at all.

It's coming to the pointy end of this competition now.

So no more alliances.

No more Mr "Rice" Guy.

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

Good job, mate. You're a legend, mate.

I know what he's got in here.

I know his heart is strong

for these kind of particularly stressful challenges,

but it was pretty heartbreaking watching his hands getting cut up.

Of course, you don't want to watch your kid get hurt,

but I could see the drive and the passion in him.

Check.

(PANTS)

Oh. Thank you.

My hands are so sore. Thank you so much.

It's remarkable. You're a 16-year-old boy

that just took on two adult males

and somehow came out on a physical challenge.

That is phenomenal, buddy!

Well done, buddy.

See, it was worth all that hard work.

Good job. Let's go.

Alright, hold that, bud. Route info.

Yep. "Hurry! The last team may be eliminated."

Alright, let's go. OK, let's go.

Is that a rhino? Rhinoceros?

No, that's a water buffalo.

Oh, OK.

Is that a rhino?

No, no.

It's this way, buddy.

Come on, let's go.

We've got to get across there somehow.

Today was one of the hardest things we've ever done in this race.

Me, emotionally, Cor getting a bit frustrated.

But it teaches us that we really need to work together

to stay in the race at this point.

Hello.

Jana and Cor.

You are the third team to check in.

It's a miracle, mate. I can't believe that after today.

Well, that's all you. Gosh.

All you again. Being shown up by my 16-year-old.

You're very proud of him, aren't you? Oh, so proud. Very proud.

Thank you.

Bring it in. Well done. Yet again...

You think your chips are down, and, yet again, they're not.

Do not give up until you absolutely are out of the race.

Yeah, I'm not giving up.

But it's not easy.

Every day on this race is just a grind.

And just when you think you've got it figured out,

you're fighting for last place.

So I think now that we're down to the last two teams,

there was zero time for any error.

Should give it a check, bro.

We've been digging deep. We've been doing our best. Grateful to be here.

So it would just suck to go home this far into the race.

Are you ready?

Best bowl of rice ever.

Could be out at this stage if he gets this.

Here we go.

Thank you. Yeah.

Alright. I was done after that.

Yay! Thank you so much.

Oh, mate. Well done. Thank you.

"Make your way on foot through the rice paddies to find Beau

"at the next pit stop."

"The last team may be eliminated." OK. Let's go.

It's going to be a race, boys.

Come on. We've got to pick up the pace.

Let's go.

Hustle with me, dude. Come on.

I was absolutely knackered.

Oh.

Backpack's leaden, exhausted, running through these rice fields.

Alright. These are the last two teams.

We have a foot race to check in

to see who is the last team on the mat.

This is a close finish.

70m.

Come on. Sprint!

Oh.

Give me water!

Take your bag, take your bag.

Welcome to Tonle Sap.

Hey, brother. Hey, brother! Hey, man.

It's all fun and games till someone comes last.

Darren and Tristan, you are the fourth team to check in,

making Harry and Teddy the last team to check in.

Brutal day.

Oh! Brutal day.

This is the most serious I've seen you guys.

It's been laughs and jokes, but one wrong turn,

one capsized boat and you're the last on the mat. Yeah.

Darren and Tristan, you checked in fourth.

So, guys, go have a shower, get a gurney,

get sanitiser everywhere.

It's your lucky day, boys.

Your lucky day.

Harry and Teddy, have you fellas enjoyed your time on the race?

I had such a good time.

Yeah, we've honestly, the last couple of legs especially,

we've just been laughing, having the best time.

He's my best friend in the whole world. I love him.

That's my boy. So we're on... Cambodia has been awesome.

You guys have been close to tapping out.

Yeah. There's three things that I do

every time I'm feeling flat, I tell myself I love myself.

I text someone I haven't spoken to in a minute

and tell them I love them.

And number three, I check in. Am I OK?

What's making me upset and how can I make a change?

If it's... If it's a little bit more than that,

I just think, "Call Beyond Blue."

That one call could change everything,

and I wish the three people that I lost,

and I'm sure you do as well, I'm sure you do as well,

that they just gave that number a call and reached out to someone.

You guys know how I feel about you. Yeah, we love you too, bro.

But unfortunately, gentlemen, this is The Race,

and I've got a job to do.

However...

This is a predetermined non-elimination leg

and you're still in The Race.

No!

Coming last on a non-elim just puts into perspective

that, like, yeah, we got lucky today,

but we've really got to be on our A-game.

Oh, man.

Next time on The Amazing Race Celebrity Edition...

We're going to beat these guys today.

Got that hustle in me, boy.

..the fight for the final four spots is on. Mum!

You can do it. You can do it.

But which team...

Talk about kicking us while we were down.

Come on, Teddy! ..will lose the battle?

I can't move my legs.

As long as you're cool with being last at the pit stop,

then that's fine.

We can catch the boys, mate. Let's go.

I'm hurting. Give me your pack!

This race is always anyone's game.

Oh, there it is. There it is, Emma! Come on.
