Original subtitles

This is Chefchaouen...

..known as the Blue Pearl of Morocco.

A gorgeous city with cobalt-stained streets

set amidst the majestic Rif Mountains,

a place rich in beauty and history.

Established in 1471,

it received its distinctive blue colour

in 1492,

when the Jewish people, who were escaping the Spanish Inquisition,

decided to decorate the town blue

in honour of the sky and heaven.

It's the location for the third leg of the Amazing Race Australia

and a world first.

A record-breaking 18 teams are about to battle it out.

It's the most teams ever assembled,

racing for the biggest prize in Amazing Race Australia history.

Go!

And it all started two days ago,

when 10 teams of racers left from Melbourne

to compete in the Moroccan city of Ouarzazate.

Break through!

Yeah!

After a furious race to the finish...

Kelly and Georgia, you are the first team to check in.

..the surviving nine teams received their next clue.

"Make your way to Chefchao...chaouen."

Chef-chao-own?

Chef Cohen?

Now the Melbourne racers

have made their way here, to Chefchaouen.

Nearly there. Last climb.

There is nothing up here.

No-one really knew what was going on.

We did it, guys. Good job.

Something real bad's about to happen.

I'm actually scared. You're so dramatic.

And then we're just left to sit there.

And we have to keep sitting there.

Come on. Can't wait all day! We know something's up.

I have a horrible feeling a surprise elimination.

I legit reckon something big is about to happen.

Ahh! I don't like it!

Just expect the unexpected, hey?

But what they don't know

is two days ago,

another group of 10 teams set sail from Sydney

for their own first leg in Marrakech.

Yay! Thank you!

Angel and Frankie, you are the first team to check in!

And the nine remaining teams of Sydney racers

received their next clue.

"Make your way to Chefchaouen."

"Chef...chaouen."

"The Blue City of Morocco."

Neither Melbourne nor Sydney

have any clue the other racers exist.

Now they're in for one hell of a shock.

The clue says that we're going to 'Chefcharon'.

'Chefchaouen'. It's not Sharon!

How to Aussie it down!

We didn't know how far away it was.

What goes up must come down, right?

I kind of was in game mode,

so I was counting the steps and then I was looking out

to the buildings, trying to see if there was a flag.

Oh, look at that! Whoa.

Beautiful! That's so nice.

What do you reckon the challenge is gonna be?

We're going to the mosque.

You right?

Going up to the...the mosque,

I had a feeling, like,

"Something's wrong."

We gotta be prepared for anything when we get up there.

Something else might change.

Someone's walking up.

What?

Um, spread the news!

There's people coming up.

Like, multiple. Whoa! It is too!

One, two, three...

Is this a joke?

Look how many there are!

Oh, what? Nine?

What do we do? Do we stand here all staunch?

Do we talk to them? Do we say hello? We were so confused.

Oh, my gosh!

Who are these people?

Oh, what about that surprise that we got at the top of the mosque?

When I walked up there, I was, like,

"Wait, who are you guys?"

Uh, what?

Do they not know we're here?

What the...

I was not expecting this twist, man.

We're like, "There better not be another Asian team!"

Well, we can be the original Asians, OK?

What is happening?!

We saw nine other teams in similar get-up.

I said to them, "Are you the American team?

"Are you the New Zealand team?"

They opened their mouth...

We started in Melbourne. We started in Melbourne.

It was Australian.

We're all Australian too. And we've been racing in Morocco.

Mind blown.

I'm traumatised.

Hi!

Have youse been competing? Yeah.

So you've actually been racing? Yeah.

Oh!

You guys have not been racing. I don't believe you for a second.

Oh, OK! Alright. Alright.

What the actual hell?

That's not the energy we've been going with, but alright.

So the orange team, she was a bit

full-on when she introduced herself,

and it came across quite rudely and bitchy.

Immediately, I was, like,

"If you're gonna be a bitch, I'm gonna be a bitch."

No-one likes us.

'Cause they're threatened, that's why.

This surely has to be an Amazing Race first, though.

We thought we were, like, a shoo-in with only 10 teams!

I'm still just tripping out!

Well, well, well!

Oh, my God. Oh, here he is!

You!

Welcome to Chefchaouen.

Half the teams began in Melbourne two days ago

and half began in Sydney.

And until this point, you've been racing across Morocco in parallel.

Madness!

Now, if you're serious about winning this show,

your time to step up is right now.

You were all racing separately,

but now all 18 teams will be competing for the 250 grand cash

and an Isuzu D-MAX

and an Isuzu MU-X.

Melbourne and Sydney,

combine.

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

I suggest you take this moment right now

and have a look around and see who your real competition is.

Now you are all finally here, the race can begin.

It's time to show me what you are really made of.

Are you ready?

Here is your next clue.

Cheers, Beau.

Thank you, Beau.

Alright, that's enough chat. Let's get down to business.

Race hard.

Race safe.

Good luck.

Three, two, one, go!

Alright, "Route Info."

"Make your way to the Plaza Uta el Hamman."

In this challenge, teams must come here

to Plaza Uta el Hamman square in Morocco

and meet my good friends the Gnawa dancers.

They must learn and perform

the traditional Gnawa dance

to the live Gnawa beats,

a blend of classical Islamic Sufi music

with ancient African influences.

It's traditionally performed

at communal nights of prayer and healing.

Wearing a fez, teams must keep their tassels spinning

continuously for 90 seconds twice between them.

They do that,

they'll receive their next clue.

Sounds easy, right? Watch this unfold.

Oh!

Alright, brother. Let's go. Let's go.

Just watch the steps. Oh!

They take no prisoners, for real.

I was just, like, shocked.

You have this idea in your head

that yes, you have a 1-in-9 chance of winning,

and now it's 1-in-18.

This is on like Donkey Kong!

On like Donkey Kong!

Oh, my gosh.

Stay focused. Yep.

Everyone is moving fast.

I kept saying, "Jodie, where's the old ones?

"Where are the old people?"

They're all young and fit and healthy and competitive.

We are continually... the older ladies.

Oi, boys, boys, boys.

Make sure - let's help each other out as much as we can, this one.

I think the vibe straightaway, though, is Melbourne vs Sydney,

and it's on.

So, yeah, we just gotta really rip in and refocus.

The view is absolutely stunning. Absolutely insane.

Even with the sun down, you can still see the blue in the houses.

It would have looked so much more beautiful

if there were only 10 teams here, though.

Come on, keep pushing. Push, push, push, push, push.

We need to find ourselves the main square

and then we need to find the dancers.

Whoop! Excuse me!

Town centre?

Yeah. Thank you!

Uta el...el Hamman? Uta el Hamman?

Yes.

This one?

You guys speak English?

This way, this way. Thank you! Thank you.

Hello!

Yep, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Stuey! Go, guys. Go, guys.

Go, go. Main square!

I can hear the music, baby.

It must be down there. The dancers. I think it is.

That's what I said. Gotta read through so you get an idea.

It was really hectic. There was a lot of loud noise.

There was a big square full of people.

Yeah, the music's pumping.

It was the most chaotic energy.

"Find the 'Gwana' dancers."

Yeah, we've put the bags down.

We're here. Look, the hats.

"Watch the traditional 'Gwana' dance.

"Learn how to swing the tassel on top of the head."

"Together, you must spin the tassel continuously

"for two times 90 seconds between you."

Practise as much as you can before you perform.

You gotta practise.

Spin your necks. Bend your legs.

Did you get a tight one? Show me.

Like that. It's not spinning.

Yep, now try it. Go.

Yeah, is that comfortable?

You've gotta stay comfortable.

Don't touch your head. Keep that groove, keep that groove.

Oh! Come on, Ange. It keeps falling off my head.

Yeah, it's 90 seconds, Ange. You've gotta keep going.

Longest 90 seconds of my life.

I do not think I looked cute in the fez.

Our head was already in a spin

from finding out there were another nine teams.

And now we have more spinning to do! We were just spin, spin, spin.

Spin it around. Yeah?

Uh, I blew it!

I still haven't seen any flags, Lauren.

Yeah, all the locals are pointing this way.

Getting louder.

Ooh! Ohh! Oh, Tones! Oh, Tones!

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

Are you OK? Relax, relax. She hit her...

Ohh!

Oh, Tones! Oh, Tones!

No, she hit her head.

OK, alright. Just hold on.

No. OK, hold on. Hold on.

No, I'm fine. No, just sit for a sec.

You're gonna have to sit.

Heath, I'm fine! Please sit for a second.

I just went into full...

Husband. Husband mode.

Sit.

OK.

We've gone through enough in the last year,

and that just absolutely threw me!

I banged my head, Heath. You banged your head.

What if we take her bag? Yeah.

Yep. Let's go.

Oh, girls, thank you.

Don't stress. It's alright. Thanks, girls.

Bag? Yep.

Sit down. No. Come on.

Toni... Heath!

Toni! Can we just walk?

No running. No running. Yeah. Yeah.

He's always worried about me, but he looked pretty...

..kind of shaken.

And I was, like, "Let's crack on! Let's go!"

Are you right?

I don't know, but thank you. Alright.

Look, look! Watch, watch! Watch, watch, watch, watch.

It's too small!

Hats? We need hats. Hats? Go to the right.

I just realised how ridiculous we look.

Coming into this, we both said that

whatever dance we first do, we're gonna do it at our wedding,

'cause it'd be hilarious as our first dance.

Argh!

I was doing it! My hat fell off.

Just, like, it takes one split second for it to lose its rhythm.

Find your motion.

And then it just stops. Yeah.

You've got it. Are you good? Are you good?

Are you ready, Ange? Yeah.

Here. Here, here!

We're ready. We need our judge.

Ready, set, go.

Yeah, let's go!

Shush. OK. Sorry, sorry.

Quiet, quiet.

Just keep... You're good, you're good.

We're nearly there, we're nearly there, we're nearly there.

Got it. You got it.

Don't lose it. Keep moving. We're nearly there, Ange.

We're nearly there.

Oh!

Oh, my God! Come on, Ange. Don't stress.

We're alright. We're good.

I felt my mind slip away.

Having these teams added in and the pressure that's been put on us...

I just need to stay focused.

We were actually really good at spinning these hats.

Surprisingly enough! Being mums.

You are constantly going...

"No! No!"

"Pick that up! Go and get it! Don't do that!"

Yep.

Oh, here. We'll go next.

Was it 90 seconds between us? Yeah, times two.

Ready, set, go.

Is mine going? Yes, yours is good.

Just don't ever change your rhythm.

Yeah!

We came first in a challenge

out of, now, 18 teams.

"Road Block. Who needs a good scrub?"

I'll do it! OK!

You right with that? Yeah!

A Road Block is a challenge

only one team member must choose to complete

based on a cryptic clue.

But first, teams must find Aladdin's cave of soap

to reserve their place in tomorrow's challenge.

Teams will be competing three at a time,

so if they get there late,

they'll be waiting a long time for their shot.

OK, we're looking for a soap shop anyway.

Is that soap?

Soap? That's it. Aladdin...

Sorry, shop is closed. Huh?

Come back tomorrow.

Oh, no! Take a number. Oh.

Number 1! We got number 1!

Number 1! Thank you so much!

We get to do it tomorrow. Yay!

Yay! Ha!

We are competitive.

For the people our age sitting around at home,

thinking they can't do things, like, look at us.

Go!

We started dragon-boating about six years ago

and I was almost in my 50s then.

Life experience says a lot.

And I think that's the kinda stuff you bring to The Amazing Race.

So there's an element of fitness.

OK, we didn't get that bit, but we have a lot of intelligence.

Let's go. This is our hotel.

Yeah, we've got this. We've got it.

Kylie and Dannii does it.

18 teams!

Oh, my God, I'm so proud of you.

OK, let's check in. Thank you.

Appreciate it. Hello! Bonjour!

We good? We gotta go for 90 seconds.

Don't go too fast! Don't go too fast.

Oh, my hat's gonna fall off.

Go down! Go down if you have to.

Oh! Yes!

Whoo! Whoo-hoo!

OK, pull it, pull it, pull it.

- Here we go. - "Road Block.

"Who needs a good scrub?" I'll do it.

Argh! Sorry, babe.

Keep going! Oh, you should have kept going.

"Together, you must spin the tassel continuously

"for two times 90 seconds between you."

You can do it twice.

Thank you!

"Road Block."

I'll scrub, I'll scrub. Go, I'll scrub.

"Channel Bob Marley." And she's just bobbing her head, like, "Yeah."

Oh, thank God!

Thank you! Thank you, thank you!

Oh, my God!

"Road Block." Alright, I'll do it.

Oh!

Focus.

We've gotta do it together. I know. OK.

Yeah, do it!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Yay!

It's a Road Block. Alright, I'll do it.

Me. Me, me, me.

Lilli does!

You wanna do it? I'll do it.

Alright, let's go.

- Keep going, keep going. - Arrgh!

Tones, there's still other teams here, so it's all good.

I know.

Yeah! Yeah!

"Who needs a good scrub?"

I do! I haven't showered!

You're gonna do it. Jamus, you're gonna do it, yeah? Yeah.

It was just the most frustrating thing.

We see, you know, one team get through.

Yay!

And then another team get through.

Yay!

But you just can't give up.

We're doing really, really well.

Really well.

We're getting there, it's just...

It's gonna get done.

"Road Block."

I'll do it? I'll do it. Kelly, yeah.

Yeah, I'll do it.

Me. I need a good scrub.

I'll do it? I think you do too.

Let's do it, baby. Let's go!

Thank you!

Whoo! Yes! Yes, bro, yes!

"Road Block." Well, it's gotta be me, doesn't it?

"Road Block." I'll do it.

We're down at the bottom two. Like, jeez, Louise.

And my head hurts and my knee's bleeding.

Just go back and forth and back and forth.

Like, let's just focus and get this done.

I think I've got it now, Heath.

Let's go. I need a smaller hat.

Go, go, go, go.

I'm so close! It just stopped, man.

It's so hard!

Try a purple one, honey. I've tried them all, darlin'.

Oh, that one looks bigger, potentially.

No, that's bigger.

Thank you so much. Oh, my God!

Thank you so much. Thank you. Come on, quick.

Toni was just a machine. Like, she did it.

She doesn't know when to quit.

"Who needs a good scrub?" Me. I need a scrub. I'm filthy.

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

Thank you.

Alright, so that's it. You're done. Knock-off.

If you're not comfortable...

No, I'm a bit of a mess.

It's alright. Let's go get the medic.

Thanks for carrying my bag. That's alright!

Can't believe I stacked it!

Yeah, but you hit your head really hard.

I know I did. I felt...

How are we the last people here?

Gotta keep trying.

OK.

If I go home 'cause of this dumb hat...

Nuh. Ohh...

I don't know what to do at this point, to be honest.

Ohh...

I don't know what to do at this point, to be honest.

Babe!

Do we take the penalty and just try...

Are we allowed to take a penalty?

Are we allowed to take the penalty?

We're last at this point.

We're...I don't know how far behind the other teams.

So we decided the best thing to do

was gonna be to forfeit that challenge.

Yeah? Great.

Let's get our stuff. You go, go, go.

It just felt like the right thing to do.

I was buggered.

"Who needs a good scrub?" I'll take it.

We know that we've taken a penalty.

Soap shop?

Down here?

Soap shop. Yep.

And then we realised that it's just to get in line.

That realisation was pretty brutal.

Can you please...

We've overcome so much together, you know?

Jake getting hit by a car,

he broke his neck, punctured a lung,

crushed his foot.

And then so shortly after, experiencing cancer.

You know, things happen and you just gotta go with it.

We've got heart.

We're in it to win it and we just won't be stopped.

This morning, teams are now lining up

outside Aladdin's cave of soap

in the order they finished the last challenge.

Dragon-boat mums Jodie & Claire

will start the day in pole position

and models Jake & Holly are coming last

with a penalty looming over them.

Soap is big business in Morocco, especially in this shop.

Moroccan black soap is famous

for its use in the cleansing hammams across the country.

In this Road Block,

one member from each team

will hunt for the tiny race marker

attached to a unique stack

of individually wrapped soaps.

They'll enter the shop in groups of three

and have only two minutes to search.

When their time's up, they'll go to the back of the queue to try again.

Once they've found a flag, they must replicate this,

exactly the same,

from the table of soaps and scrubs outside.

They have to match the colour,

order, size and shape perfectly

all the way down to the coloured wrapping paper.

They can work as a group but they'll be judged individually

on their soap-stacking skills.

And don't forget the deodorising crystal.

Yes! Good job!

When they do that, they'll get the next clue.

Ohh! Fresh now.

New day.

Good morning, my darling. How are you?

Oh, bit sore. Bit sore. We're alright. We're alright.

So we're in line and we finally get to meet Toni and her partner,

who are absolutely lovely.

It's close to my heart. That's where it'll stay.

I saw another one of the teams

was wearing some ribbons in support of her.

Toni has, uh, breast cancer.

Oh, wow, OK. So, yeah.

Yeah, so, just...bit of support.

Terminal? Oh, my God.

There's so much going on, and then hearing that, I just kinda lost it.

What we said!

Yeah, I couldn't even look her in the eyes.

Incredible that she's here, racing.

That's another level.

But we're here to have fun.

We are! And we just can't come last today, right?

That's the idea. That's the idea.

"You must search..."

So the soap will be marked. The markers.

Like, it should be a yellow-and-red flag, is what you're saying.

Standing outside the front of the soap shop,

we could see that there was a lot of stacked soaps on ropes.

I don't think they're gonna put it out the front here.

Nuh. Nuh.

It's definitely up. I'd go up the stairs.

There's three people that go in at a time for two minutes.

And I had Angel and Kathy from the Sydney team

and we decided that it would be wiser for three heads to work together

to smash out this challenge.

Good luck.

Holy... Oh, my life!

We have to find...a marker.

It sounds simple, right?

Are they joking?

I've never seen so many soaps in my life.

This is not easy, guys.

Looking at everything, you even start to think

that the little cushions on top are yellow and red,

and that might be the marker, 'cause it's just looking for a marker.

Shite! Sorry, soapies.

Then you're trying not to break things and pull things apart.

And I was, like, "Oh, my goodness! This is mental!"

How can we not get it?

Scheisse.

Sorry, mate.

Oh, my God. Oh!

Is that it? We've gotta go.

That's the first team finished. Oh, really?

That's the first two minutes done. Wow, that was quick.

Good luck.

Shit, that's hard!

Ohh! That is tough!

How you going, chick? You found anything yet?

Not yet.

- Oh, I'm gonna go crazy. - You see where Cynthia's looking?

I don't think they'd put it there in front of everyone.

I don't think waste your time looking there.

They wouldn't put it where everyone can see.

Back to the line we go.

Give it another crack. Back to the line we go.

OK.

God!

Is this a joke?!

Oh, my God. There's so many colours.

Are you kidding me? This is impossible.

Who came up with this?

It's, like, so much harder than it seems.

Trying to find the marked soap

in Aladdin's cave.

Yeah, this is hard, eh? This is so hard.

I needed the genie there so I could rub him,

rub his lamp and he'd give me three wishes.

Damn!

It's alright. Take a breath.

Teams are going to the back of the line with this look on their face

like they're not going well.

Anything, Kelly? Nah, nothing, eh.

And honestly, it gave us a little bit of hope

'cause it means that we're moving up in the ranks.

By the time it was my turn,

I was quietly confident.

I'm very good at finding things. He is.

So straight in. I'm gonna go upstairs.

And when you blur your peripheral vision...

..colours start to pop forward.

So what I was doing was going through, scanning, scanning,

everything looked the same, everything looked the same.

And then that's when I saw, right in the middle,

the flag was there.

We only need to remember two each.

But remember...remember the size.

I've got the brick, large gold.

Small pink, big teal.

Yep, and I've got the purple. Purple on top.

Good, good. Purple on top. White crystal.

White crystal, knot, up, knot. Knot.

Should we go try?

Come on. Let's go.

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

Go, teams! Let's go. Let's go.

They were upstairs. It's gotta be upstairs.

Yep.

Alright. Alright, ready?

Let's go. Let's go.

So you still need...

So it was cream, red... Where'd you get that?

Once you've located that marked soap bundle,

you need to replicate it in the town centre.

And, what, large in this colour? Yep.

So we need, like, a large cake.

There was a lot of things that could go wrong,

a lot of different variables.

Let's do it over here. Let's do it over here.

Take our time.

The soap size could be wrong.

The colour could be incorrect. The order could be incorrect.

Fold it in.

And maybe put your folded side down to keep it, like, together.

And then tying it all together just like it was on display.

Great job, guys. Yeah, we're doing good.

How did they just find that?

Like little ones...

Oh, look, look, look! Have you got it?

Have youse got it?

Yellow, pink...

Don't tell anybody.

We good?

- Come on, guys! - Come on!

Come on! Let's go!

Oi, what about this one here?

Oi, oi! What?

It's red and yellow.

The marker was

literally half the size of my fingernail.

Go, go, go.

The pressure's definitely on. The pressure's definitely on.

What about this one? Red and yellow.

Yes, yes, yes. OK, let's remember.

OK, purple, green... Green, white, blue.

Currently we're at the back of the line.

Yep.

Not the best feeling, but there's always time to catch up.

Go, go.

Any luck? No, no luck at all.

This is so hard!

Yellow, pink, blue, purple. Got it! Yeah, let's go, let's go!

Everyone get three of everything. I've got hats and crystals.

You've got three crystals? Yes.

You're a legend. Get your purple paper, darlin'.

OK. Good.

I believe in you, baby!

Big at the bottom. Big at the bottom.

The pressure was on and I could see her just going for it,

and I was just yelling as much encouragement

as my voice would allow.

Come on! Come on! Come on! Good job, guys!

Let's go! Good job!

Right. Yeah, let's go.

Come on. Let's give it a crack.

Oh, my heart! Doog-doog-doog-doog!

I just really wanted Holly to get this one done

so that we could start climbing the ropes a little bit.

No. No, try again. No?

OK. Alright.

Talk to me about the pink. The pink was thick.

Thick, yep. So was the purple.

For this challenge, we had to find a soap on a rope

and then remake it ourselves...

Don't forget your crystal on top.

..in different shapes, sizes, colours

that I had to assemble perfectly.

Stay calm. Stay calm.

Wrong! Try again.

It was just rough.

Wrong!

Close, though, right?

Blue and then... Purple.

Wrong. Try again.

Wrong. Try again.

You're kidding! I thought you had it.

The judge is ruthless, eh?

You reckon... Maybe we need to go bigger on the bottom.

You have to go underneath there. Hold that.

OK. Let's just give that a go.

- Give that a go. - Whoo!

Come on, guys! You got it, Tottie!

Just...just start working on another one.

Good job!

Yeah! Yeah!

Whoo-hoo! Wha-ha!

Yeah! Oh, my God!

It was crazy! It was the best feeling to get, like, the first one there.

"Travel on foot to find 'Chefchazine's stairway to paradise."

Now, it's not only the walls, doors,

windows and roofs of buildings

that are painted blue in this town.

The stairs are also covered in a distinct blue colour wash.

It's a trend that started in the Jewish Quarter

before taking the city by storm.

Our teams must come here

and locate this station

at the bottom of these steps.

They'll then use a tiny paintbrush

and paint an entire step.

Now, once the local judge is

satisfied with their handiwork,

they'll receive their next clue.

That's my work.

I've been here for 4.5 weeks.

Alright, let's go.

Hey, so the young girls got it.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that is not what...

Good job!

Vincent, hide it, hide it, hide it.

Here, Vincent. Jamus, Jamus.

Yep. Melbourne teams, Melbourne teams.

As soon as I got it, I'm, like, "Quick! Melbourne teams!"

OK. Thanks, Vincent.

We're happy to stick together with the Melbourne bunch at this stage.

Take that.

Good job! Yeah!

No. Look, they've got it.

What?

OK, good job. Can you help me?

When they finally get the answer, they're, like,

"Here. Only show the Melbourne people."

Good job. Yes!

I was, like, "What the heck?"

The Sydney teams, we actually need to stick together

and help each other out.

Don't let it frustrate you.

Sorry. Wrong again.

Good job! Yes!

We need to watch what's happening.

What are they doing?

Look, sixth felt really good

considering how I felt

when I saw a million and one new teams

and my heart shattered.

Let's go. Let's go!

I was happy with sixth.

- Yes! - Yes!

Thank you!

Thank you. It's all the way down there?

Straight? And then right.

Let's go, let's go!

We'll go up here and we'll find someone.

Just go slow.

This way, this way! Marker, marker!

Come, come, come, come! Quick, quick, quick, quick!

Come on, Flick!

Aha! Over here, over here. Hey, good job.

Go, girls. Come on, girls.

Carefully fill it with paint.

Do we need much? How much do we need?

When I read the clue, I'm thinking a step.

A small little...step.

To my surprise, we turn the corner, there's this massive step this big.

We were one of the first... To start painting.

..yeah, to start painting.

And we just went for it.

Go, Flick. This is...

This is just... Yeah, gusto.

Yep. I got it.

Let's see... Perfect!

Yay! Thank you.

When we went in the challenge, we were first,

and I think we probably came out about the middle of the road.

Yes, good job! Thank you!

But this race,

it can go up and down like a yo-yo

in five seconds.

Oh! Let's go!

And now we need to make up time with our next challenge.

Let's tie it up. Yeah.

Mmm...no.

Wrong. Wrong?

Yes.

It's not on the right way.

So I got a bit worried, to be honest,

because I was the first one to find it

and there weren't many teams left!

Purple and then crystal. Crystal. No, that and then crystal.

I actually met two girls from the Sydney crew

that were, like, "Look, I'll help you tie it."

Hold it, hold it. Yeah, got it.

It works for them, it works for me! Yeah!

That's it. Go, go. Go, go, go, go.

Go, go.

Mori, go! Go, go, go, go!

Yeah! Great job! Yes! Thank you!

Thank you! Yes!

Good, good.

OK.

Yes, good job!

Oh, yes, Tones! Well done, babe!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Good job, Steph! Whoo!

Good work, good work, good work.

Alright. Let's go.

You can do it, babe!

So I was coming last.

Keep going.

It was so stressful.

Wrong. Wrong?

Yes. Really?

Really. OK.

Come on, Holly!

You got this, honey!

I was quite psyched out.

It is just baffling.

♪ We're painting stairs blue! We're painting stairs blue! ♪

One brick at a time?

This is gonna be quite meticulous. Yep.

You don't realise how hard it is

to paint with these fine little toothbrushes.

We had two each and we're painting, painting, painting.

I think it's actually very beautiful

that we have this opportunity to contribute to Chefchaouen.

There will always be a part of us here.

They should have let us paint it pink, though.

Yes, good job!

Thank you. Yes!

Getting that next clue was absolutely amazing.

Well done! I love you! I love you.

But we have not got time. We have to make up our spaces.

So we just kept going.

Cool! Let's go! OK.

OK. OK, brother, we gotta paint.

We're just painting this whole step.

Slow and steady wins the race, Heath. Slow and steady.

I'm just trying to cover as much ground as possible.

Do this underside first. OK.

Do this underside first. Yeah, we're doing this one.

Sorry. Sorry, you're kind of in the way here, yeah.

It's a bit squishy, eh?

It's not easy, is it?

Excuse me.

It was really almost overwhelming,

because the cluster of people when it's 18 teams -

it's just, like, crazy.

Here. Mori? Yep.

OK. Hi, boys.

Hi! Let's go.

Everyone was frantic.

Use two at a time. Yep.

And that made us feel more confident,

because it would be a good chance that we could climb a little bit.

Hon, we gotta come down here too.

Are you good? Are you good? Yeah.

Judge!

Judge already? Jeez!

Don't worry about anyone else, please.

Just keep doing it.

How'd they smash that out that quick, though?

Bit more? Chace, bit more.

If you put too much, Chace, I think it peels some paint off,

so just dab, dab, dab, dab, dab.

Say when you want me to move and I'll move.

It's all good.

So we get the shittiest square with all the moss and the grass.

We thought, "Great, we've gotta cover the step.

"And the grass as well." And the grass!

We were, like, just dabbing it

wherever we could to try to cover up the dirt.

If that moss moves, you've gotta paint underneath that moss as well.

Oh, my gosh.

Don't spill.

OK, go.

Once we got there, we were last.

There were certainly a lot of teams already there

almost finished their step.

Yeah, we knew we had to move quickly.

Go that way? Stand on... I think...

Can you guys stand on your step for a second so we can move down? OK.

There's a blue area here that we can all stand on.

Look, I love arts and crafts!

I've actually done quite a bit of painting myself.

Wasn't the most artistic painting I've ever done in my life.

It was more just kind of...

Slop it on! Slather!

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

Keep going, keep going!

Yep, call it. Judge!

This one.

Yes! Thank you!

Thank you! Thanks! Thanks.

Thank you!

"Travel on foot to the entrance of Chefchaouen's bluest alleyway."

Chefchaouen is an endless array of blue buildings

with matching blue doors.

In this challenge, teams must first collect a photo album

with pictures of dozens of blue doors.

They'll then work their way through the labyrinth of corridors

to find three doors from their book of photos

and write down the corresponding street number.

Sounds easy, right? Well, think again.

There are hundreds of nearly identical blue doors to check

and it's all in the tiny details.

And it is way too easy to get lost in this blue maze.

When they've found the three doors

and made their way back to the judge,

they'll receive their next clue.

Sweet.

Thank you. Shukran. Thank you.

Let's go.

We'll start from the top here. OK.

OK, nuh. None of these. Let's go.

Yeah, nuh, nuh. Don't look at the numbers. Look at the doors.

Let's go down there. Nup.

What? It's all good, it's all good.

Oh, here.

Solid, my girl. Two doors left.

Tubs, is it worth getting checked out yet?

Nuh. No?

Off the edges and paint the edge, yeah?

Oh, whoa, whoa, jump off.

Doesn't matter. Jump off.

It's drying. It's not gonna do anything.

No, just don't stand on it, please. I just don't want it...

I can't without standing on it.

You can jump on yours. I can't!

Standing on yours! Can you just get off, please?

Jump on yours and do it.

Oh, yeah, there was definitely tension.

She had to do what she had to do.

I stepped off. I'm, like, "OK, you know what? There.

"Don't want me to touch your step? I'm not gonna try."

Oh, get over it.

No disrespect, but we just don't want it to affect anything.

It's not going to. It's dry.

Yeah, but it could be coming off onto your shoes.

It's the disrespect, for me.

Don't stand on our stairs when we're trying to paint it!

Bringin' the psycho out of me!

And if you don't have my back, the psycho's coming to you too.

Judge, judge! Uh, this one.

Yes, we got it! Thank you! Thank you!

Shukran. Shukran. Shukran, shukran.

OK, let's go. Check.

Yes! Yes!

Thank you, thank you.

Yes! Thank you so much! I could kiss you!

Well done, Tones. Route Info. Route...

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

We picked up the book. Do you wanna do it...

Thanks! Thank you. Thank you.

Is it still blue... still blue alleyway?

Go, go. Check up here.

Where you going? Stay there. Stay there.

22 here? Oh, that's one of them. I saw that one.

With the big round... Yes.

"Write the street numbers of the doors

"in the grid at the beginning of the photo album."

OK.

Let's just head right down to the bottom.

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

No, that's not this one.

I think we picked the thickest one, you know, Jodie?

And I'm saying to Claire, "It's OK, I'm good at painting."

We need them to move. You guys, we need...

Guys, we need to get in just here, sorry.

It was very challenging because

a staircase, as steps, is...

..well, clearly one are on top of the other.

That's how steps work.

You've got people standing over your steps,

so I'm going sort of under their crutch

to get my paint.

Watch your foot! Again.

Check! Check!

Alright. Now get off your area and paint.

You're hearing "Check! Yep!"

Thank you very much. Thank you.

"Whoo!" Yeah! Stuey!

"Check! Yep! Whoo!"

Yes! Thank you, thank you!

And we're thinking, "Ohh..."

Thank you so much! Thank you, thank you!

Watching these clues be handed out like hot cakes.

Left, right and centre, yeah.

Yay! Thank you!

And we're still there, painting a blue step.

Gotta get more paint, Gab. Come on.

Come on! Alright.

Come on, babe. This is us, this is us, this is us.

Nothing like coming in last place to make you wanna go fast.

I think we're just about done!

Check, please! Check, please, sir.

Thank you so much! Thank you so much.

Remember that arrow?

Chace, this is one. This is one. Here, here.

Number 9? Yeah, 9.

9 is 9.

It's a lot of doors.

Telephones...

Nuh.

No, what about that one? No, don't think so.

Yes, we need... Doors.

We ran into a local man.

He kept saying, "I know where those doors are. Come with me!"

"Come with me!"

Hopefully it will really help us

and we don't get lost in the rabbit warren.

Oh, God. Really?

"Walk along and find a door.

"Write the street numbers of the doors in the photo album."

Yeah, looks like number 6. Then we write it. Beautiful. OK.

I feel like they're gonna be further up.

Yeah.

That one.

Picture 20 is, um, number 22.

22. Don't show anyone.

Let's keep going. Good job.

We'll be here for a while. Let's go this way.

This place kind of all looks the same.

Everything's blue! Everything is blue.

I see one!

2 is 7.

We're getting there.

Yep, move away from it.

Doing great, baby.

Ready yet? Check, check!

What's... That one?

Good.

Thank you. Quick, Flick.

Thank you!

Oh, man, I think, like, a lot of teams have left, hey?

And it's a bit of a shame 'cause we were one of the first here.

Yeah.

Is it still blue... still blue alleyway?

No, it's on the wrong side. Bugger.

Come on. Let's go.

I've seen this. I've seen this one too.

I just wanna know if it's, like, a law.

Do you have to paint your house blue?

31. Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

Or did someone start a trend

and everyone just painted their house blue?

But the blue works, so good job, town.

Then there's this one. I saw this one on there.

I saw this on there. Is that 14?

Yes.

Yep. Nice.

I think we're good. Yeah. Yeah.

Check? Yeah.

Check! Check, please.

Yeah. Thank you, thank you. Thank you.

Can we get a check, please?

Yes! Cheers, mate.

Thank you, thank you. Let's go.

They're all starting to look a bit the same.

What about this door? No.

No. How long does this road go?

We kept going up and up and around the corner

and down and up and around.

"Oh, it could be there."

Ooh. No. Similar.

OK, now, let's go back.

Come on. Let's go.

Back to the beginning.

We were very appreciative of wanting to help.

It's just that he...

Probably another one of our children.

...actually never helped.

Probably coming last now thanks to our little friend.

12. Oh...

Yeah. Yeah?

Yeah. Yep, yep, yep.

Girls, girls, girls!

How you goin'? Coming!

Can you show me... Yep, we've got that one.

We bumped into Flick and Gab

and Pako and Mori, who are from our OG crew.

Hi, darlings. How are my OGs going?

Let's all compare notes.

We got one more...

And at that stage, we decided to really team up.

And that made all the difference. Yeah, that was awesome.

OK. I think we're done.

We got it.

If I survive today, I'm literally gonna be so happy.

We realised that we'd made up so much ground

and we were back in the running.

Do you guys mind if we go first, 'cause we've got a penalty?

Come on, babe! I'm right with you, darl.

Don't get lost.

Hello!

Yes!

Yes, yes! OK, Jake.

Come on. Let's go.

Rip and read. Let's go. Come on!

OK.

We're gonna be OK.

"Make your way on foot to Restaurant Triana,

"with one of the best views in Chefchaouen,

"and find Beau at the next Pit Stop."

The Berber people named Chefchaouen

after a pair of goat horns

which the mountains that tower over the city are said to resemble.

Our now 18 teams

have raced from high above this ancient blue city

and must find me here, in the foothills below,

at the Pit Stop for the third leg of The Amazing Race Australia.

And one team will be going home.

Let's go!

Come on, Holly! Behind the square, they reckon.

I'm not coming last, baby!

Yes! Thank you, thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you so much!

OK, let's go.

Alright. "Find Beau at the next Pit Stop."

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

Let's go!

Come on, girls. Keep pushing through.

Keep pushing through!

Restaurant Triana.

19 is 26.

Let's...let's go to the judge.

Are we happy? Go this way.

Yes, we've made it back.

Oh! Thank God.

Yay!

Thank you, thank you! Thank you, thank you!

Hello, judge.

Please.

Yes! We did it.

Thank you so much! We love blue doors!

We did it!

OK, what is it?

Have you ever done anything like this before?

No, no. This is the first time. Do you get nervous?

No. No.

You are nervous. Yeah, nah... A little bit.

All morning. I see you. Yeah. Thank you.

Are you enjoying blue Morocco city? We were having a lovely time.

Look, I'm ready for another colour. Hey, what's this one?

I love this door, it's beautiful,

but it's not the door we're looking for.

This one here. Look. OK.

This one. Number 1.

Ooh. OK, what's up the top?

This beautiful Blue City of Morocco

is like a rabbit warren.

A blue rabbit warren. A blue rabbit warren.

With lots of little tunnels and holes and...

..little nooks and crannies that go somewhere or nowhere.

And being the blue team, I couldn't hardly ever find Claire,

'cause she just blended in with the doors.

I reckon keep going up here. OK.

Argh!

Restaurant Triana?

That way. Down.

Let's ask them, Gab.

Restaurant Triana?

Triana.

Left.

Look! Right there!

Are we coming first? I don't know.

Triana!

Baby, we did it! Come on.

Hey.

Welcome to Chefchaouen.

Jake and Holly, you are the first team to arrive.

The heavy artillery has arrived, my friend.

However, because you did not complete the dancing challenge,

you will serve a 30-minute penalty.

Please step to the side of the mat.

30 minutes. 30 minutes.

OK. OK.

We're not going home, though.

30 minutes is pretty sting-y. It is pretty sting-y.

Flick, this way. This way.

Hurry up! It's the last bit! I know!

Come on, it's here!

Hey, I can speak a little bit of Arabic.

Really? Yeah? Yeah.

Something, uh, food. Yeah, it's all food.

Yeah. It's all food and swear words!

We got it, Vinny. Back to the uncle.

Hello! Hello!

Thank you! Yes!

Thank you! Yep. Yep. Yep.

Yay!

Check that way. Check that way.

Which way? Triana?

The best views - it has to be up.

Wait, Gab!

Just go, Mori!

Gab! Hurry up, it's the last bit! I know!

Girls, I'm so proud of you.

Welcome to Chefchaouen.

Thank you!

Flick and Gabby, you are the second team to arrive,

but you are the first team to check in.

Yes!

And you are one step closer to taking home 250 grand cash!

Yes!

First first place. First first place.

Nuts.

This means Flick and I have some faith

that we've got it.

Doesn't matter if there's 29 teams, 100 teams or one.

We're competitive.

As the first team to check in, you have won

two Samsung Galaxy Ultra phones,

two Samsung Galaxy Watches

and two sets of Galaxy Buds Pro.

Yes!

That's a total of over $5,000.

You girls are the real deal.

Thank you.

There was plenty of adversity last night and this morning.

How did youse weave through your way to get here to check in first?

It was hard 'cause there was, like, a thousand teams.

Yeah!

Last night was so hard and stressful

and tears were everywhere, so it feels good to be here.

Hold your heads high. You did so well.

And I'll see you soon. Well done, girls.

Whoo-hoo!

Let's go!

Whoo!

Pako and Mori, you are the third team to arrive.

Yeah!

But you're the second team to check in, boys.

Yeah! Whoo!

Be proud of your efforts. You're still in the race.

Thank you. Thanks, Beau.

Thank you!

Ahh! Thank you so much!

Oh! Thank you. Thank you. Come on.

Yes, baby!

Yes!

Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

No? We didn't get it.

We just need to hope the other teams have gotten just as lost as we have.

We are so lost. We've got no idea where we are.

No idea. We're probably gonna have to go right back up.

Racing up there again.

Yes!

Thank you so much! Thank you!

Oh, gosh, thank you so much!

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Cheers.

"Find Beau at the next Pit Stop.

"Hurry, the last time to check in may be eliminated." Go!

Apparently number 7's wrong. Let's go down here.

I reckon we go back this way and down.

Go this way? Yep.

That's this one. Yeah.

Got the plants, the step.

So number 4...

..is number 7.

Yeah.

Wait. Hang on.

No.

No, dead end, dead end. We've been here already.

Go, go, go.

Yeah. This way?

Uh...yeah.

Chace, are you with me? Yep, yep, yep.

Three, two, one!

Welcome to Chefchaouen.

Thank you! Thank you. Shukran.

Kathy and Chace, you are the fourth team to arrive.

Yes.

But you're the third team to check in.

Oh. OK.

Yoo-hoo!

Tammy and Vincent, you are the fourth team to check in.

Wow! Yes!

Ready? Ooh!

Yes!

Yeww! Let's go.

Yeah!

Oh! Thank you. Thank you.

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

Alright, let's go. We gotta go.

Hello. You know Restaurant Triana?

Yes. Yes?

Just follow those guys. You sure?

100%? OK, let's go, let's go.

Hi! What's your name?

Oh, he's showing us!

Follow the dog.

Are you seriously following the dog?

Is it this way?

They're following a dog,

and she wants to follow them following a dog.

The dog's going to sniff some other dogs' butts or something.

Come on, Muffin!

Show us! Show us where to go.

Oh, here. Wait. No? No, down here.

Quick, Chelsea and Jamus are coming.

Move faster! Chelsea!

I've got the bags! You don't see Kelly whingeing!

Yes, I can see the flag!

Come on. Run hard, run hard.

Kelly and Georgia, you are the fifth team to check in.

Yes!

Chelsea and Jamus, you are the sixth team to check in.

Yes!

- I'll see you soon. - Thanks, Beau.

Where are you, Tottie?

Good job, mate.

Whoo! Oh!

Fliss and Tot, you are the seventh team to check in.

Oh, my God! Thank you!

Steph and Lauren, you are the eighth team to check in, girls.

Amazing, babe!

Unbelievable.

Jake and Holly, so far you have served 10 minutes of your penalty.

Alright, mate.

Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

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

Alright. Let's go.

Right, that's what we're looking for.

We're 100% that's it, right?

God, how do we get outta here? I don't know.

Try and have a little jog, 'cause we've gotta get there.

Might be the make or break. Still in a race!

Judge?

Yes! Yeah! Yeah!

Thank you!

You can have your little pen back. Thank you so much!

Thank you! We did it.

Come on, let's go. We gotta get to the Pit Stop.

If you could pick a host of any of the Channel Ten shows,

who would be your favourite?

Out of, like, Dr Chris Brown, Jonathan LaPaglia and Beau Ryan?

Beau Ryan.

Beau Ryan. Yes!

Yeah. OK.

Hey!

Go! Run, run, run!

Come on, Sammy!

Down here.

We were first, OK? Alright. Alright.

Angel and Frankie, you are the 10th team to arrive.

However, you are the 9th team to check in.

Oh, yes!

Stuart and Glennon, you are the 10th team to check in.

Oh, God!

Morgan and Lilli, that makes you the 11th team to check in.

Sick!

Sam and Stu,

you are the 13th team to arrive.

That means you're the 12th team to check in.

Well done, boys.

It's OK, baby. It's OK.

Oh, that's a different restaurant.

Oh, don't forget Holly and Jake have a time penalty.

Jake and Holly, you've already served 24 minutes.

Not long left.

Muffin! Come on!

Muffin!

Here! Oh, my gosh.

Quick!

Whoo! We did it.

- Welcome to Chefchaouen. - Thank you so much!

Beautiful city! Wow! So blue!

Sam and Alex, you are the 13th team to check in.

Wow! Score!

Well done! Go us!

Go get a coffee, I'll see you soon.

Thanks, Beau!

Go down there? Triana?

Triana? In and down.

Triana. Go, go, go, go.

Where's Beau? Where's Beau? Come on!

Welcome to Chefchaouen.

Thank you so much. So beautiful.

Can we come in together?

Heath and Toni, you are the 15th team to arrive.

But you're the 14th team to check in. Oo-ee!

Tiffany and Cynthia, you are the 15th team to check in.

OK. Good job.

Triana! I see it! Let's go!

I can't see anyone else. We're too...

There's no-one else!

I think we're coming last, 'cause I can't see anyone else.

Down here. You ready?

Welcome to Chefchaouen.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Shukran! Hello!

Crystal and Reem, you are the 17th team to arrive.

That's alright! Not last.

But the 16th team to check in.

Oh! Penalty?

You guys are gonna make it.

Don't worry about them. Just worry about yourselves.

Go rest, recover and I'll see you soon.

Jake and Holly, you only have two minutes remaining of your penalty.

I just won't relax until we're OK.

It's gonna be OK.

If we're first to get here and last to check in,

I swear to goodness...

Triana! Triana! Come on!

Run down! Little run.

Where is it? This says 'Triana'.

Come on! You got this!

Come on.

Quick, quick, quick.

Come on! Come on!

There he is! There he is!

Welcome to Chefchaouen.

Thank you so much! You're beautiful!

It's beautiful. Thank you.

Jodie and Claire...

..you are the last team to arrive.

Uh-oh.

It's alright. We did our best.

We did good. We did.

We did good.

However,

you are the 17th team to check in.

No!

Oh, no!

Oh, no...

Oh, no. I know.

Oh, no.

Go rest and recover, girls, and I'll see you soon.

Jake and Holly, please step back onto the mat.

Jake and Holly, that makes you guys

the last team to check in.

And...

..you're eliminated.

It's OK.

Your time on the race is now over, guys.

Oh, man, this really sucks.

This really, really sucks!

It's pretty heart-break...

When we got here first, we were, like,

"OK, we've got enough time to protect ourselves."

But the fact that we've gotten here first and we're still eliminated...

This must be a first time in race history

that you land first and still get eliminated, right?

That has to be the first time that's happened.

First time I've seen it.

Is the race everything that you thought it would be?

And more. Yeah.

Yeah.

We're just so stoked to have gotten here.

I've always wanted to go to the Blue City, actually!

So, you know, I'm just glad we made it this far.

You proud of each other? So bloody proud.

Yeah. She...she really... Yep.

I'm so proud of my girl.

Alright, bring it in, guys.

Hold your heads high. I know it was hard.

Look after each other. See you the other side.

Your time on the race now is over.

Thank you, Beau.

Man!

Next time on The Amazing Race Australia...

..we travel to Athens...

Athens, Greece!

..birthplace of the Olympics.

Teams must take aim...

Is this upside down?

..fall in step...

Three, four.

You think you're going to pick this up?

..and try not...

Take your time. Take your time.

They failed.

..to open Pandora's box.

Go, girls!

Not us? OK.

I reckon we're getting the bad vibe from everyone

because they know that we are a strong team.

She's a *** savage bitch.
