Original subtitles

Phil Keoghan: Previously on The Amazing Race...

Today will be a doozy.

7 teams set out from Buenos Aires, Argentina,

and raced nearly 5,000 miles to Johannesburg, South Africa.

Deana: Careful.

Ray and Deana took a terrifying fast forward...

You're almost done, baby.

And beat Rob and Amber to the punch.

Ray: Yeah!

Let's go.

We're in trouble.

On the underground detour,

a devastating fall set Gretchen back.

Uh aah.

Help us!

Meredith: Oh, God, Gretchen.

But the accident didn't break her spirits.

I've been wantin' a facelift for a long time.

[Laughs]

Uchenna and Joyce got emotional at an orphanage.

Joyce: Seeing those kids definitely made me think

of my inability to have a child.

Bruised and battered, Meredith and Gretchen finished last.

The good news is you're both still in The Amazing Race.

And had to start the next leg...

I need you to hand over all your possessions.

With only their passports

and the clothes on their backs.

Gretchen: All we have are each other now.

Once in Botswana, teams sped across the African bush.

Whoooo.

Don't break the car.

Whoooo.

Brian and Greg lost control.

Brian: No, come on. Hey! Whoa!

Lynn: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Lynn and Alex stopped to help...

But Rob and Amber drove right by.

There's no way we're stopping.

That's so typical of their game.

It's still a competition.

Let's not get crazy.

Ray and Deana bickered at the detour...

Ray: We're don't work as a team. That's a problem.

God, it's depressing, doing this with you.

While the brothers snuck in from behind.

We're kicking butt, baby.

Hey, this is awesome, G. We're gonna pass everybody.

And in the end...

Get your seat belt off. It's off! It's off!

Ray: Deana, come on! Deana: Damn it.

It was a foot race to the finish...

With Ray and Deana narrowly defeated.

Sorry to tell you, you've both been eliminated from the race.

We deserve to be.

Now, 6 teams remain.

Who will be eliminated next?

Phil: This is Botswana,

an African nation that's home to part of the Kalahari Desert.

And at the edge of the Kalahari,

the Makgadikgadi Pans.

This giant salt pan,

reminiscent of the surface of the moon,

was the pit stop in a race around the world.

Teams arrived here at the end of the last leg

for a mandatory rest period.

The 6 teams waiting here have no idea what's in store for them.

They have to figure out for themselves

how to get to the next yellow and red route marker

by solving clues they'll find in sealed envelopes.

Despite their first place finish,

will Ron and Kelly's relationship be able

to withstand the challenges ahead?

And will brothers Brian and Greg remain in last place?

Or will their determination move them closer to the front of the pack?

Ron and Kelly, who were the first to arrive,

will depart at 5:29 a.m.

"Drive yourselves to Sankuyo Village."

Teams must now drive 141 miles

past the city of Maun

and then drive 48 miles to Sankuyo Village.

The teams must find this water tower

to receive their next clue.

Let's go. Let's get it.

Kelly: Today, I was reading the love chapter in the Bible,

and I was substituting my name and the word for love,

and I was saying, "Kelly is kind. Kelly is patient."

Kelly is forgiving, and really, I was trying to read that

to think about how I was going to treat Ron today.

"You'll drive through the city of Maun."

Rob: Honestly, I haven't given our relationship

a whole lot of thought on the race.

There's just really not a lot of time

for thinking about it.

And we're not arguing all that much,

it's just little spats here and there.

Go this way or what?

Let's just go this way.

OK. Roger that.

All right, there's a marker. Good.

"Drive yourself to Sankuyo Village.

Your next clue is under the water tower."

Let's go.

I think it's so great to be able to do this race,

but to be able to do it and really get along

and actually have a really good time,

that's just a blessing.

Rob: At this point, the gloves are off,

and we're playing for ourselves.

I mean, we have no friends left in this game.

It's just us, and we're here together,

we're gonna do what we have to do

to make sure we don't get eliminated.

Botswana's beautiful.

I mean, I've never seen anything like this terrain in my life.

We just keep going straight, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Is that a marker?

Yeah, that's a marker.

Good, man.

"Your next clue is under the water tower.

You have $85 for this leg of the race."

85, OK.

OK, great. OK.

It's good to have a little jog in the morning.

Just a little.

Uchenna: We're speechless to be here in Africa.

This has been an amazing experience.

My father is a native Nigerian.

There's nothing like what it feels like to put your feet

on the soil that your ancestors actually are from.

Leaving here, we just follow the route markers?

Joyce: Right.

There's a marker straight ahead.

"Sankuyo Village.

Your next clue is under the water tower."

Let's go. Let's go.

Alex: Lynn and I play the game different

than I believe any of the other teams play the game.

I hear the other teams bicker a lot,

I hear they play the game more dirty.

We're good, honest players.

We're just sneaky.

"Along the way, the roads are marked."

Yes, so, OK, I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled.

There. There's a little flag on the right.

All right.

What's in store for us today?

"Drive yourselves to Sankuyo Village."

All right, let's go, babe.

Let's go. Here we go. Thank heavens.

Gretchen: It's a miracle.

It's just incredible that we beat

some of the toughest competitors to get here.

So we figure anything can happen in this game.

That's for sure.

It's a beautiful morning to get started.

It's good to be alive,

and, uh, we're raring to go.

Uhh.

Meredith: I haven't seen a marker, hon. No.

This is nerve-wracking.

Yeah.

Here's a marker.

Oh, thank the Lord!

OK. We're all right.

Let's see it now. Big bucks, big bucks, no whammies.

"You have $85 for this leg of the race."

Let's do it. Let's do it.

Brian and I, uh, feel pretty confident that every team here is a strong team,

but the team that's right in front of us is Meredith and Gretchen,

and they're our closest competition right now.

We'd love to, uh, take them out today.

Yee-haw.

We got some ground to catch up today, B.

I know. Let's do it.

I'm seeing some fresh tracks.

Yeah, I noticed those fresh tracks earlier. Smell 'em.

Yeah. See, the dirt hasn't been settled very long.

The old wise bushman from the other leg taught me to read tracks.

Another sunrise, G. Yep.

I've seen so many sunrises with you.

It's amazing.

We should be dating.

We had to head towards Maun to go left.

Where--where you hear that?

I read it to you earlier.

We're supposed to follow the route markers, though, right?

Have I gotten on your nerves a lot?

No, not at all.

Not a bit.

Pretty nice day here in Africa.

It is nice.

It's only about 140 degrees today.

[Laughs]

Get out of here.

This is crazy. [Laughs]

We're not like the normal animal crossing,

you know, like every once in a while

there's a deer where I am,

but here we got ostriches.

Amber: I've always had idea of the things

that I wanted to do before I die,

and to go on an African safari is one of 'em.

Rob: We just try to, like, keep it all in our heads

and remember everything, 'cause we're just so lucky.

We're the two luckiest people in the world.

Joyce: OK, we're going directly west now.

So we're going the right direction.

That's a good thing.

Good job, honey.

They are going slower than 120.

OK. Let's pass them.

[Laughs]

Oh, this will be exciting.

Yeeeaa. Go, girl.

Can I get over, honey?

Uchenna and Joyce.

African safari.

Uchenna: Lynn and Alex just passed us.

Oh, my God, this is too cool.

Now should I go?

Yeah. Oh, thank you, cow-cow.

How now, brown cow?

That was so crazy.

It's weird when there are animals crossing the road.

Oh, good. Thank you, Mr. Cow.

Joyce: He's gonna wait and see what we're gonna do.

Move, you little stupid cow.

[Car horn honks]

[Cow moos]

That's funny.

Is that what they call water tower?

"The clue is under the water tower."

Uh, just go up here and make a circle around,

I hope this is the water tower.

I don't see any clue.

Oh, on--Meredith, on your way to Sankuyo Village,

you will drive through the city of Maun on your way.

So this isn't the water tower.

Did we see a marker pointing this way?

Gretchen, there's a marker right there.

Oh, OK. Keep going straight.

Now look up here at the signs.

Maun. Maun to the left.

Oh, good. Oh, thank God.

Water towers are pretty big.

I know.

There's a water tower right there.

Ron: Now this is real African safari four-wheeling.

Oh, there's the clue right there.

Come on. Let's go.

Both: Detour.

Phil: A detour is a choice between two tasks,

each with its own pros and cons.

In this detour, teams have to choose

between two common village chores,

carry it or milk it.

In "carry it," each team member has to balance

these 3 items on their head

and carry them to a cooking area

approximately 70 yards away.

Teams may not use their hands to keep these items steady.

When all the items have been delivered,

they'll be handed their next clue.

The balancing act can be tough,

but teams that can master the technique could finish fast.

In "milk it," teams must choose goats from this pen,

tie them up, and then squeeze out enough milk

to fill a 10-ounce cup to receive their next clue.

The task appears simple,

but milking these goats is not as easy as it looks

and could take teams a long time to finish.

Do you want to milk it?

Let's milk it. All right. OK.

I'm guessing this direction.

Oh, there's the baskets.

I think we could probably do that.

The goat thing might take a while.

Kelly: We changed our mind to carrying it.

You gotta put this on your head?

Yeah. Let's do the water first.

You OK? Whoa.

Where do we walk?

Through those posts.

This is hard, Ron.

Well, the water's gonna take a while.

Kelly: Look at that. [Whistling]

[Laughing]

I can't even take a step.

Stick it on your head and walk. You're the ballet girl.

Dang. This could take all day.

I can't do it.

You do ballet. You should know how to do this.

I don't balance buckets on my head and do pirouettes.

Do you want to go do the goat?

We need to decide something.

I cannot do this.

Let's go milk a goat.

Ms. Ballet can't balance the bucket.

Amber: We have to hurry.

Up ahead, baby. Up ahead.

"Carry it or milk it."

I'm thinking maybe the goats.

I think the goat, too.

Milk a cup out of a goat.

This should be very amusing.

Says go to the water tower to look for your next clue.

Greg, this is a water tower.

I know.

We got to climb it, Greg?

Maybe. Go up there and see.

Brian: Does this say to climb it?

No, it doesn't say climb anything.

It says your next clue is under the water tower.

Under? Where the heck is this clue?

If I am climbing the water tower for no reason,

damn, we are idiots, Greg.

I'm very, very frustrated right now.

This is pissing me off.

That thing's dripping with water.

It's a water tower.

It's the wrong one, I guess.

Man, we are idiots, Greg.

"On your way to Sankuyo Village,

you will drive through the city of Maun."

We've got to go to the city of Maun.

OK. There's a sign-- there's a sign right there.

Take a left.

Brian: Whoever said Smith brothers had no sense of direction?

All right, let's do the goat.

Go ahead, I'll walk him.

Here, can you do this one, and I'll tie it?

Dang, don't let go of him.

Goodness.

Don't move.

Come on.

Good boy.

Kelly: Rob and Amber are here.

We're not real far ahead right now.

When we make a decision at the beginning,

we need to stick with it.

Shush.

It's gonna take a long time.

Let's go do the other thing.

OK. Give me the corn.

Amber: How are they doing that?

OK, Rob. I'm gonna go.

OK, it's all fun and games, right?

Baby, you're doing so good.

There you go.

There you go.

This is so hard.

All right, stop showing off, now.

If you can't do it, tell me right now.

Yeah. Let's do the other one.

We think we can do the goats a little bit better.

Come on.

OK, come on.

Close the top.

Watch your horn, buddy.

Let's get another one.

Come on, let's start milking.

You wanna milk? Yeah.

Where's the line? Through the rim?

I guess so.

This is going to take forever.

There you go.

I love this car.

To be able to handle it in this dirt and mud and sand.

It's weird that people have them in L.A.

I know. Why would you need one of these in L.A.?

This is so neat.

Look at those feathers.

We are definitely in Africa.

The sign just said Maun.

You just watch the animals. If one darts out in front of us, we're in bad shape.

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're playing like dummies.

I know. Hey, we can come back.

We're just not going to quit. We're not going to give up.

No way. We're going to kick some butt today. How 'bout that?

Nice down there. A lot.

I got your nipple in a noose.

Doing good.

We're getting as much as we can out of this first goat, 'cause he's cooperating.

There it is. Right over there. OK.

There it is, right over there. OK.

Here's the water tower there.

OK. Oh, look.

"Detour. Carry it or milk it."

We're gonna do the milking.

We'll milk. You know how to milk.

How do you feel? Um...

Balance? Yeah, sure.

Let's carry.

Hey. Don't spill it.

Do you want me to squeeze any of it?

I want you to hold the goat. That's all.

There you go.

Come on. Good. Just stroke it a lot.

Baby, you've got the technique now.

Come on, big boy.

That's it, baby. Here it comes.

This is the best teat so far.

Couple other teams here.

[Imitates goat] Baaah.

They've been here a long time.

Let's go do the baskets.

There's Meredith and Gretchen.

Well get a goat that's got some milk.

Here's a goat that has nice big teats.

Do you want the water first or try with the corn first?

The corn.

Honey, I don't know if we're gonna be able to do this.

Let's do it, baby. Come on.

Stay with your man.

[Whistling]

Balance yourself.

Alex, I don't know, honey.

Thank you. Good job, sweetie.

There she goes.

Thank you. Come on. Come on. Let's go.

They got it. Ready?

Alex, let's go milk the goats.

Kelly: I, mean, Uchenna and Joyce, they're, like, born to do that.

Do you want me to squeeze?

It isn't going to help for you to squeeze

'cause I know how to do this.

Kelly: Ron's being the drill sergeant.

He doesn't realize it, but he adds more frustration to me.

You're doing so good, baby. Want me to hold the cup?

Yeah, will you hold the cup?

It's OK, baby. You're doing awesome.

You take one, I'll take the other.

Good. Whooo!

There are the boys.

OK, hi, goats.

Hello, goaty-goat. No, no, no, no, no.

Come on, goaty.

Hey, stop it. Seriously.

Just feel the water, sweetie.

Don't overcompensate. Just make little adjustments.

Honey, I'm way behind you.

So you just--go ahead.

Concentrate on the bucket. Don't worry about the other teams.

We're almost done. We have, like, a centimeter to go.

That's good. That's good. Where's the judge?

Little bit? Little bit.

Do the same one. The same one. He was good.

Hold on, honey. Hold on. I don't have a good grip.

Come on, babe.

"Drive yourselves along the marked road to the banks of the Khwai River."

Phil: The teams must now drive themselves 21 miles

through the bush to this point along the Khwai River.

It is here that teams will find their next clue.

All right, let's go. Get in. Let's go.

I would have liked to have tried milking one, though.

You could have got down there in the beginning and done it. I wouldn't have cared.

I'd have liked to do the balancing water thing.

Just get over it.

Now, boss, come on, come on, come on. Over here.

Clue? Thank you.

Right here. Right here. "To the Khwai River." let's go.

Rob and Amber finished.

Let's go! Babe, you did it.

Good job milking that goat. Whoo.

Just got to pass those two posts right there.

OK.

We got it. You're here. Take your time.

Pass the finish line. I'm past it.

I'm past it.

You're past it. Come on. This last one will be easy.

Let's do it. The long way.

OK, go. OK.

Good job. Very good.

Look at that.

Almost there... and we're past it.

Thank you.

"Khwai River."

Great. Let's go. Let's go. Thank you.

Let's go, baby.

Ladies first.

I think we did good to make up some ground there.

That water did seem pretty impossible, didn't it?

The thing is the village people from my father's village do the same thing.

I've seen it a thousand times.

It's like, hey, my African roots are kicking in.

Come on, baby.

Come on, sweetie. Almost have a full cup.

Good ol' Gretchen.

Take it. Don't spill a drop

or I'll kill you.

Oh, good. Thank you, thank you.

Don't spill it. That's wonderful milk.

Alex, they're done.

"Drive yourselves to the banks of the Khwai River."

Hon. What?

I don't know where the Khwai is.

Khwai River? Khwai River?

To the right? Thank you.

Thank you. Come on, Gretchen.

Hey, Alex, come on.

Oh, give it to me. Come on.

Oh, my God. I'm almost there.

Move away and see if it's full, baby.

That's the line. Thank you.

"Khwai River."

OK, let's go.

Let's go to the marked road. Where were the brothers?

I have no idea.

There it is. Water tower!

Detour.

We're milking. Let's go milk.

Good job. You're doing good.

You need some Frosted Flakes or some Cheerios.

This is just a beautiful place.

I mean, all the wildlife and everything.

It's really amazing.

I think the difference between me and Rob

and Ron and Kelly is that Rob and I use teamwork.

Kelly didn't want to get her pretty little hands dirty, I think.

My girl got in there and got the job done.

That is so beautiful.

Beautiful. The little tiny ones.

Wow. Talk about grace.

She pointed over here, so keep going down the road.

She pointed this way? I don't think so.

Keep going. This was your choice.

We haven't had a marker in so long.

Uh oh. Uh oh.

Why are we stopping?

What's wrong?

The car's done.

We're screwed unless we can get another car out here.

And we can't stop. We need to go.

This sucks.

Lynn: That sucked. It really did suck.

Here comes a replacement car.

Thank God.

All right.

Let's get back in the race.

Good girl, good girl.

Whoo! Making a latte over here with some foam.

Got a little cappuccino froth

going over here, man!

You almost there?

She has another udder, too.

Yeah. You're coming through in a clutch.

[Gasps]

Rob: The wild.

Ron: Check it out. That is so cool.

Look how big that thing is.

Oh, my gosh!

Wow!

That's pretty cool.

There's the clue box.

Here it is, here it is.

Roadblock.

A roadblock is a task

that only one person may perform.

In this roadblock, one team member

has to navigate the team's vehicle

through this crocodile-infested river crossing.

After that, they'll continue through the bush to this area,

where the driver must choose a path

by removing the marking posts.

The paths are blocked by trees knocked over by elephants.

Here, each person must remove

2 logs from the road

and then drive to their next clue.

It might be a driving thing.

I'll do it. OK.

You got it.

All right, I guess I'm doing it.

Let's go.

All right, come on, babe.

Whoo!

Ron: Ha ha! Yeah!

Rob and Amber are back there.

Amber: OK, honey, we have to hurry.

Catch Ron and Kelly.

Whoa! Oh, my God!

We made it. Full of water, but we made it.

Uchenna: Zebra!

Joyce: Oh! How cute!

I love it!

Look at the zebra.

That is so cool!

And here's the clue.

We got to get out.

It's a roadblock.

"Who's ready for a real roadblock?"

You are.

Low gear, low gear. Slow.

Slow, slow.

Whoa! This is deep.

[Turns on ignition]

Whew!

Whoa, Nelly!

Gretchen: Oh, wow!

I'm happy now. I got to see the elephant.

Oh, good.

The clue box.

There it is, right over there.

"Who is ready for a real roadblock?"

This has got to be driving.

I'll take the driving, honey.

Whoa!

Here we go!

Ahh! Ohh!

Unbelievable.

Focus on your driving. You're doing great.

Lynn: Oy!

There's a clue box, Alex, up ahead.

OK.

"Who's ready for a real roadblock?"

Um, I will.

Are you sure?

I'll do it. You've done so many.

Honey, if it's driving...

"Drive your vehicle across the river."

We can't change.

I have to do it.

Damn it!

I'm not a really good stick shift driver.

OK, babe. You can do it.

There we go.

Milk it.

Milk, milk, milk.

Nice.

That's good?

Here we go. Khwai River.

We did it. We probably didn't lose too much ground there.

Ron: There's the flag.

Kelly: Choose one path

and then take the post out.

Amber: These are marked paths.

OK, we have to remove the post.

Yeah.

All right. Come on, babe!

We gotta beat them.

Come on, Rob!

Kelly: Come on, Ron!

Hurry, hurry.

Amber: Come on, come on, come on!

You're doing really good.

He's got one.

Dang it!

Back up and go around it.

Good job, babe. You're doing good.

All right, go, go, go.

One down.

Keep going, keep going.

Kelly: Hurry, Ron, hurry, Ron!

Shut up. I'm doing it as fast as I can.

Joyce: Once you've chosen a path,

you must remove the post marking that path.

Drive along the path till we get to the logs.

Oh, wait. We've got to get the ribbon.

Take it! Now we go.

All right, Ron and Kelly are behind us.

Amber: Keep going, keep going.

Back up.

Kelly: Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Oh, my Lord. Please help me.

Just stay there. Close enough. All right.

Joyce: There you go, there you go, there you go, there you go.

That was easy.

Yeah. Pretty easy.

Giraffes.

Oh, a lot of them.

Be careful, Meredith.

Look at them go. This is fabulous.

Oh, my gosh!

Lynn: Alex, now put the clutch in,

take the emergency brake off,

put your foot on the brake and the clutch.

Put the gear into first

and just go all the way through in first, baby.

Just keep going, just keep going.

You're doing it, you're doing it, you're doing it.

Whoo!

OK, fabulous, Alex, fabulous.

OK, let's go.

Wow! Elephants!

Yes!

Look at this, we're going right to them.

Do they get mad and ram you?

Hey, what do I do now?

He's on the road, he's on the road.

Ahh! Ahh! Ha ha ha!

That was awesome.

He gave us a little-- [Imitates elephant]

Amber: Good job, honey, good job.

Easy.

"Drive yourselves to the next pit stop-- Khwai River Lodge."

Phil: Teams must now drive themselves

9 miles to the community of Khwai,

located on the outskirts of the Moremi Game Reserve

in northern Botswana.

Here, teams must find the Khwai River Lodge.

This camp, Botswana's oldest safari lodge,

is the pit stop for this leg of the race.

The last team to check in here may be eliminated.

Let's go. Get in.

Good job, baby.

Kelly: They got their clue.

Come on.

I have nothing to say to you now.

What you just said to me was absolutely rude.

Huh?

"Drive yourself to the next pit stop."

What did I say to you? I don't even know what I said.

You said shut the f-up to me.

No, I didn't.

Yeah, you did.

No, I did not.

I really don't think I said, "Shut the f-up."

You've been acting like a jerk to me all day today.

You're a piece of trash redneck.

We should be good here.

Joyce: Curve it around.

Come on! There's a clue. Yes!

All righty.

Read it.

OK, "Drive yourselves to the next pit stop at the Khwai River Lodge."

Hop in. We're out of here.

I don't see any teams close.

OK, this is the post.

Lynn: Oh, my God, that's like a--

I don't even know.

Keep going, honey. Give it gas.

You're doing great.

Watch out for the stick.

Honey, honey. You got a flat.

Ow! Oh, my God.

Wow, this is a rough day.

This road block better be a freaking manly stunt.

None of this sissy stuff.

Milking cows and balance stuff on your heads.

Both of those are for the little farmer ladies that do it.

The road is windy, tough, a little scary.

My God!

What's on his back, a monkey?

It's his tail. That is amazing!

Oh, my God.

Ha ha!

I think we've seen every animal in Africa today.

Seriously, we have.

Let this be a record

that I didn't point out

everything Ron did wrong today.

Ron pointed out everything I did wrong today.

Oh, my gosh.

Let that be a record.

[Blows raspberry]

Oh, look, Joyce!

Ohh! Ha ha! Oh, my God!

Elephants.

Houston, we have an elephant!

Is that cool or what?

Oh, my God!

Gretchen: Good! Go, go, go!

Man, this is hard.

It's working.

Hi-dee-ho.

Oh, my gosh.

It's another replacement vehicle.

Oh, my God. Thank God.

OK, let's go.

You're totally doing amazing.

Perfect, perfect, OK.

Let's see if we can destroy this one.

This is it right here.

We're hoping to make this a foot race at the end,

'cause I think we can take them in a foot race.

We've made it to the pit stop.

Come on, I hear them.

This way, this way, this way. Run!

Come on, baby!

Welcome to Khwai River, Botswana.

Thank you. Thank you.

Rob and Amber...

you're team number one.

Yes! Good job, baby.

You want good news?

Yeah! Yeah!

As the winners of this leg of the race,

you've won a trip for 2 from Travelocity

to the magnificent Le Meridian Monte Carlo

in the French Riviera,

including airfare, helicopter transfer,

and a 5-night stay.

And you can enjoy that after the race.

Congratulations.

Ohh! Baby!

Ron and Kelly, come on in.

Amber: Good job, guys.

Step on the mat. We'll get our time.

Ron and Kelly, you're team number 2.

That's great.

It was a close run for first place today, huh?

It was.

Kelly and I are kind of starting to get up under each other's skin finally.

Kelly: Ron and I have argued too much on the race.

It's just kind of hard right now

to really feel close to him,

and so I really just try to put the Lord first

and hope that that helps with Ron and my relationship.

Uchenna: Here we go, here we go.

It's the pit stop.

All right, baby, let's go.

Run this way.

It's good to see you.

Uchenna and Joyce...

Yes. Yes.

You're the third team to arrive.

However, you did not complete the road block correctly

and you need to go back and finish it

before I can check you in.

We didn't finish it correctly?

We got to go all the way back.

All the way back.

That's not good. That's not good at all.

What did we do wrong? I don't know.

That really sucks.

Joyce: Oh, my God. This is not good.

That could be costly.

Hell yeah, it'd be costly.

Read the road block one more time.

"Once you've chosen a path,

you must remove the post marking the path."

I didn't take the freaking post out of the ground.

Man, that's a long ass way back.

Well, we've just got to hurry.

Everybody's going to be there now.

Lord be with us. We need a blessing.

Here we go.

Come on, Meredith!

You're doing good.

You're almost done.

I see something ahead.

So get outside and remove the post.

OK, OK, OK.

Lynn: OK, now throw it in the car.

Go ahead, babe. You're doing good, you're doing good.

Give it some gas, give it some gas.

Make a sharper turn towards the tree,

and stop the car.

All right, we're stalled. That's perfect.

You getting it? Yeah.

OK, now let's get in the car, you're fine.

Now go.

So you're doing good, you're doing good.

You did it.

Hey, here it is.

Road block. Road block!

You've done 3 already.

It's your turn.

There you go. Keep it steady, keep it steady.

Go, baby, go!

Go! Go!

Oh, that was easy. That was fun!

Just got to grab that damn post.

OK, go to the left.

Is the post still sticking out?

Yeah, this is it right here.

You got it. Yeah, I got it.

We got everything, we got our freaking post,

we got the flag, we're back on the path,

and we remember how to get back to the pit stop.

You're doing a fine job.

"Once you've chosen a path,

you must clear the logs enough to..."

One more time.

All right, short jog, honey bunny.

Oh, my legs hurt.

Oh, it's great to see you.

Hello, again.

OK, Phil, please tell us good news.

Uchenna and Joyce,

you're team number 3!

Whoo! Ohh!

Still 3!

Africa!

There's something up ahead.

Do you see it, Gretchen?

Meredith, there's parking here,

but, honey, you know what, where's our clue?

I didn't miss the clue, did I?

Well, I bet you did.

"Once you've cleared the path, drive to your next clue,"

and that's what I've been doing.

Come on, Gretchen.

But where's our clue?

I don't know.

Meredith and Gretchen,

you're the fourth team to arrive.

Now how did you guys know how to come here?

We just followed the markers.

All right. You need to go back and get your clue,

and then I can check you in.

Come on, let's go. We can do it.

Oh, for God sakes.

Don't be angry.

I'm not mad. Just didn't read the clue.

OK, Gretchen...

we're not out of it yet.

Somebody else may have had the same problems.

Lynn: I think this is our last one,

and then our clue's right up there, baby.

You're doing totally amazing.

OK, baby, go. Give it some more gas, more gas.

You're good, you're good. You're good. Keep going, keep going.

OK, now stop the car and get out and unlatch it.

Let's go. You're doing totally good.

OK, now get the clue,

and hopefully, I'll be able to drive after this.

Please, God, let us be going to a pit stop.

"Drive yourselves to the next pit stop, Khwai River lodge."

That was awesome.

Seriously, Alex, even if we come in last place,

you did something that I know that was super-hard for you.

Get it, Gregory Michael.

Go move those logs.

See how it's strapped on and everything,

'cause you're gonna have to strap on the next one.

It's connected.

OK. Pull up, see what happens.

Oh, yeah, good job.

Keep on going. Stop.

One down.

I've never done something like this before.

I feel like a man.

OK, Khwai Lodge is this way.

I didn't see the brothers.

Don't worry about it, honey. Even if we're last

and we have to get everything taken away from us,

we did our best and we're here.

And we may not be last.

Alex: The new rule is that when it's a non-elimination round,

not only is your money taken away,

but your bags are as well.

It doesn't say the last team will be eliminated.

If we're the last ones to arrive,

they only let us take what's on our back.

Oh, will you put on some of my clothes?

Will you put on underwear like as a headband?

Oh, my God, we're here.

Come on. I'm coming.

Lynn and Alex... Yes.

You're team number 4.

What?! What?!

Yes.

What? Ha ha ha!

And look it, we put on all these clothes

'cause we thought we were gonna be last.

Look, I layered...

I was all, "We're last, girl."

I got to put on my shorts.

The fashion police is gonna arrest you here in Africa.

Ha ha! Ha ha!

Brian: Come on, Greg, go!

That was cake.

This is the way I came. I remember it all.

See, there's the markers down there.

All right? I see them.

Here's the clue.

Khwai Lodge. We know how to get there.

Come on, we've already been there once.

"Drive yourselves to the next pit stop, Khwai River Lodge."

Let's just hope it's non-elimination.

Should we roll in in our freaking swimsuits

and say, "I dare you to not eliminate us"?

Yeah. Let's do it, baby.

I'm gonna say, "Phil, I dare you to not eliminate us."

I dare you."

Phil's gonna see us and be like,

"There's no way we can eliminate these guys.

"That way, they have to go through the rest of the race

wearing goofy clothes."

We go out in style.

If we can get non-eliminated, that's awesome.

And if it is over, we're gonna go out in style.

And if it's not, we're going the rest of the race in style.

Do you think we can finish the race in these, Greg?

Yeah.

We lost all of our markers.

Oh, God, this is so frustrating.

Look, look, look.

What? Oh, OK.

Meredith and Gretchen,

you're team number 5.

Oh, my God, Meredith!

You're the team who just can keep on going and going and going.

The old Energizer bunnies.

Welcome to Khwai River, Botswana.

Thank you.

Ha ha! Um, Brian and Greg...

Yeah.

You're the last team to arrive.

[Sighs]

I'm sorry to tell you,

you've both been eliminated from the race.

All right. At least we went out in style, brother.

Now what's the idea behind this get-up here?

Maybe if you saw us in these ridiculous outfits,

you might think, you know what, maybe...

They deserve to be still in the race?

Well, I'd love to award you some kind of fashion award.

Unfortunately... Quite all right.

Let's take these off.

Sorry to see you go, guys.

Greg: Brian's my best friend and he's my big brother.

I couldn't imagine anybody else to do this race with.

It was a bonding experience for the two of us

that we'll never be able to experience again,

and we'll be able to look back and see it

and remember all the good times we had.

The Amazing Race was this crazy adventure

that I had the privilege of doing

with my best friend and my kid brother

that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

Phil: Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

Phil: Tomorrow night in a special episode

of The Amazing Race...

Go!

Catch up on the first half of the season

through highlights and never-before-seen footage.

I'm gonna tell them all to jump in a minute.

And next week, Ron and Kelly's bickering continues.

Ron, come and stay with me.

Let's get on the cycle rickshaw and get moving.

I disagree with that, Ron, but I'll go and do it.

Phil: And Meredith and Gretchen get a standing ovation.

[Cheering and applause]

Hi, everybody!
