PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on
The Amazing Race...

With seven teams eliminated,

the remaining six teams' quest

for the $1 million prize

continued on the island
of Barbados.

Definitely harder than it looks.

KEOGHAN: Angie got
into the swing of things

at the Roadblock.

-DANNY: Yes, Mom! Come on!
-Yes! [screams]

KEOGHAN:
But breaking
anAmazing Race rule...

You're not supposed
to lose your crew.

...lost her and Danny
valuable time.

Bummer.

KEOGHAN: Juan and Shane appeared
to be sunk.

-Oh, my God.
-I didn't see
any route markers.

KEOGHAN:
But the military pilots
muscled their way

through the Detour,
passing four teams.

Come on. Please, please.

-Pilot boys just left.
-Damn it.

KEOGHAN:
Boyfriends Ricky and
Cesar continued to dominate.

-Another first-place finish.
Congratulations.
-Yes!

KEOGHAN:
Rod and Leticia were stumped...

-How?
-What are we missing?

...and stuck.

Oh, my goodness.

KEOGHAN:
But in the end,

Angie and Danny came up short.

We've been "Philiminated."

-You have been Philiminated.
-ANGIE: Philiminated. [laughs]

KEOGHAN:
Coming up tonight...

Whoo!

AMBER:
Welcome to the jungle.

KEOGHAN: The final five
compete for a spot

in next week's finale.

Why I can't throw right?

KEOGHAN:
Who will make it in,

and who will be going home?

We're freaking lost.

The driver has no idea
where we're going.

-VINNY: Oh, this is no good.
-AMBER: Yeah.

That's what
I literally said back there.

KEOGHAN:
The five remaining teams
are now flying

to the island of Hispaniola.

In another Amazing Racefirst,

teams will race here
in the Dominican Republic,

the world's largest producer
of organic cacao,

where the national sport
is baseball,

and where
you'll find the tallest mountain

in the West Indies.

-JUAN: Let's go!
-CESAR: Come on, come on,
come on.

Okay, right here, man. Come on.

All right. Route Info.

SHANE:
We're leaving in group one with,

-lo and behold, Ricky and Cesar.
-Geez.

RICKY:
"...the Dominican Republic.

"Make your way on foot
through the jungle

and search for your next clue."

"You have 1,500 Dominican pesos
for this leg of the race."

-Sweet. Let's do it. Come on.
-CESAR: Okay.

JUAN:
Every day,
that prize gets more realistic.

We're not gonna forget
who we're doing this for.

And we're certainly
not doing this for ourselves.

-SHANE: Nice, easy pace, bro.
Nice, easy pace.
-JUAN: Yeah.

SHANE: This last few legs,
we are competing

with a different fire

because we have families
at home that can benefit.

The only thing that's fueling me
right now is just the thought

of seeing my wife
and my child and hopefully

bringing home something
to make 'em a little proud.

SHANE:
To say that
we would want to race against

a certain two other teams
in the final,

should we be lucky enough
to make it there,

I don't know that we can,

'cause everybody
is super strong at this point.

They deserve to be here,

and we take them very
seriously-- each one of 'em.

CESAR:
Come on, come on, come on.

It's fun to run with
Juan and Shane, because

when you have a team
that is strong and, like,

that competitive
right next to you...

It motivates you to push
yourself a little bit harder.

Oh, I see it.

CESAR: I think there hasn't been

a point during the whole race

where we felt safe. And I think

if we keep doing our best,

we may still
falling in first and second,

but at this point, it's just

to make it to the finale.

Roadblock.

"Who can see the writing
on the wall?"

KEOGHAN:
Tainos are the Indigenous people

of the Dominican Republic
who lived here

more than a thousand years

before this island
was discovered by Europeans.

These Taino symbols depict
elements of their daily lives.

This Roadblock requires
one team member

to make their way down
this canyon and spot

ten Taino petroglyph symbols.

Then, after identifying which
side of the stone is a match,

they must lay out
all ten correctly.

If they don't, they'll have
to keep on canyoning

till they come up with a match.

-Oh, dude.
-What do you want to do?

-Me. Me.
-You.

-This is probably
a you thing, huh?
-All right, I got it.

SHANE:
That sounded
like a memory challenge,

so that's Juan's realm.
So we decided

that he's gonna
be the one taking this.

-SHANE: Let's go.
-JUAN: Okay.

-"Choose an available guide."
-All right, who's the best one?

-Let's go. Come on.
-Let's go. Let's go.

Hello, hello. Buenos días.

Vamos. Gracias.

All right, buddy.
Hey, you got this, man.

Shane, I got it. Let's go.

We got to the location

where we had
to put on some life vests

and a helmet,
and then we started

what I would anticipate was

a mile-and-a-half
to a two-mile trek

uphill to get to the water.

RICKY:
Good luck. I love you.

-SHANE: All right, Juan.
-CESAR: Love you, too.

So, at that point,
I kind of built a little bit

-of space between me and Cesar.
-SHANE: Let's go!

RICKY:
It's gonna be
a memory challenge.

Cesar's got it in the bag.
As long as he can

forge ahead and really

focus on the challenge,
he'll be fine.

"Make your way on foot
through the jungle..."

"...and search for
your next clue along the path.

"You have 1,500 Dominican pesos

-for the leg of the race."
-ROD: Come on.

Last leg wasn't our best leg,
but at the same time,

-I feel like we're
one of the strongest teams.
-Oh. Let's go, baby.

LETICIA:
There's only five teams left.

-ROD: Yes.
-LETICIA: So it's crunch time.

This is road to the Super Bowl.

So right now the pressure's on.

We're not going home
without that prize.

-[Leticia chuckles]
-ROD: So today we're here
to show everybody.

We're definitely
making final four.

-Yeah, baby.
-LETICIA: Whoo!

VINNY:
Last leg, we did really well.

We're just gonna
continue to do that.

-Baby, where you at?
-Let me lead, Vincent, please.

VINNY:
Make sure that I listen to her

while she also focuses on not
giving any tone or attitude.

AMBER:
Vincent, slow down.

I just need to communicate

assertively, not aggressively.

YVONNE:
There it is.

AMBER:
I need to listen to him and

not be so stubborn
and hardheaded, I guess.

Roadblock.

"Who can see the writing
on the wall?"

-Want to knock it out?
-I'll knock it out. Let's go.

-I'm gonna do it.
-I'm gonna do it.

YVONNE:
It's getting down to the wire,
but we're feeling good.

Obviously, we want to be

the next all-girl team to win.

VINNY:
Follow me. Come on.

MELISSA:
Hold onto that, please.

YVONNE: We're both
very independent, strong women.

We have a lot to learn
in terms of

unifying our two worlds.

-This is perfect for you.
-MELISSA: In real life,
we're actually

fun and loud, but when we race,
we are sort of like

this silent team
sliding under the radar.

VINNY:
Which one are you gonna choose?

YVONNE:
Other teams are loud or just

visually have
a dominant presence.

VINNY:
Choose one, babe.

-YVONNE: You got it?
-MELISSA: Yeah.

YVONNE: We're okay
with the eyes on them while

we do what we need to do.

[both laugh]

CESAR:
Wait. Oh, my God. This is far.

JUAN:
So, right now,
Cesar's right behind me.

I'm gonna keep pushing.
Hopefully, I keep this lead.

But I'm gonna be
smart about my stamina.

This isn't gonna be easy.

I may want to keep
my eyes on Juan.

Going up the hill
was exhausting.

And of course, like, Juan seems

to be in
a better shape than me, but I...

I just pushed myself
to keep it in eyesight.

JUAN:
Oh, these steps are gnarly.

I hear water.
Means we're getting close.

CESAR:
Here. It looks like it.

Okay.

JUAN:
Oh, yeah. Ready to jump.

-Okay.

JUAN:
Let's go, baby. Whoo!

CESAR: Going up the hill
was exhausting,

but the reward was,

once I got to jump
on that first pool...

This is for you, Ricky. Whoo!

That feeling,
the water was perfect...

Which way?

...'cause the day is warm,
and the water was cold and blue.

What a cool experience.
And then once you start jumping,

it's not only jumping,
but there's some slides there.

Like, natural water slides.

JUAN:
We started going through the
waterfall-esque kind of area,

which was gorgeous.

I had never had that kind of
experience before in my life.

And it was
pretty freaking awesome.

Getting to a point
where there are symbols

hidden, basically,
in plain sight.

Come on. A symbol.

It's got to be here somewhere.

CESAR:
I don't know exactly
what I'm looking for,

so I'm just looking around.

I don't see it.

Looking for some kind of symbol.
[speaks Spanish]

CESAR:
You never know. It's a race,

so they could be anywhere.

♪ ♪

ROD:
We first started out together,
jogging it out.

Ah, ah!
Let's go.

So I just jumped in front
of everybody, and I'm just

running up the hill.

I didn't know how far
that run was gonna be,

but I just felt like me seeing
if I could make up time

would've been perfect for us.

MELISSA:
I spent 45 days

in the Dominican Republic

to protect
then-Vice President Biden.

So I've literally been here,
done these waterfalls.

I knew that it entailed
a pretty long hike

to get up to the start of it.

I'm a really strong hiker,
I was gonna run it.

ROD:
I thought
I was leaving everybody behind,

but after a while, I figured out
that that run was gonna be

long.

[panting loudly]

I keep looking back.
The burgundy team--

she's right behind me, just
running her little heart out.

I was so amazed

'cause she actually
was keeping up.

MELISSA:
I ran the whole thing,
which was fun,

caught up to Rod. He kept...

He kept looking back,
he could see me coming,

and I just didn't stop,
I kept going.

I was proud of myself.

[mutters]

Oh!

AMBER:
I kind of got a little
discouraged because I was

behind the other two teams
that I had left with.

So I was like, "Crap."

We have a chance of winning
the million dollars, and

we're in a lot of debt
'cause of grad school,

so that would definitely

help us financially,
paying off student loans.

Let's go, baby!

Let's go.

Whoo!

Oh!

Mm.

Oh, man. There's a big jump.

There was a jump, and, like,
I don't know what it is.

Maybe it's becoming older,
having kids, but with age

has come a little bit
of hesitation.

I don't love heights.

Before, I would have jumped
at the chance.

-Pun intended. Oh, yeah.
-Nice. Yeah.

JUAN:
I would have jumped
at the chance

to be able
to do that kind of stuff.

Oh!

Not that bad. Not that bad.

All right. What do we got?

I'm looking for a station
to work on. I found it.

I'm supposed
to pick out what I saw?

CESAR:
Woo-hoo!

This is awesome.

Whoo!

Okay.

CESAR:
Finally, we need to log it.

JUAN:
Check. So I just lined up five
that I saw at the end,

and hopefully that's it.

Sorry, your answer is wrong.

Okay, so, answer's wrong, so
I'm gonna put these guys back,

and I'm gonna go again.

And then I have this turtle.
Okay. Check, please.

There's some extra ones. There's
literally five extra ones.

Sorry. Your answer is incorrect.

It's stand-up time.
Let's go. Ah!

Let's work out.
Time to figure out

what I'm looking for.

All right, here we go.

Check, please?

Sorry. Your answer is incorrect.

It's all right, buddy. Let's go!

It's just, they blend in
really well into the background

and the nature, so
it's really hard to see 'em all.

I... There's got
to be just one more.

I got to be missing just one
'cause I got seven on here.

-CESAR: Check, please.
-There's three more left.

My God. At this point,

Rod can catch up. I see Rod.

I think I see Melissa.

Sorry. Your answer is incorrect.

Okay.

CESAR:
Oh, my God. [mutters]

What am I missing?

CESAR:
We have been trying

to run the race on our own.

Here. Here, here.

But I know Melissa
is really detail-oriented.

Rod! Rod, come here.

CESAR: So I decided
to ask Melissa to work together.

ROD:
I didn't see that one.

Yeah, this one's up there, too.

I don't know what they're doing,
but I'm glad Rod's doing it.

I'm gonna try, yeah.
Can I get a check?

I'm trying to work with Rod.
We think we can get

through this together quick
and move on.

ROD:
Four of 'em right here.

Sorry. Your answer is incorrect.

Okay.
If nobody else is waiting.

JUAN: I noticed that there
was a drawing on the back

that was very similar
but not exact.

That's gonna play a part.

Frog, Pikachu, lizard.

Okay.

Aah!

ROD:
I'm trying
to get the symbols correct,

how I seen 'em coming down
the waterfall and the slides.

I'm trying to make sure
I got the angle right.

Rod, listen.

Oh. Is that...
That's different.

The rocks were two-sided.

There was, like,
very subtle differences between

one side of the stone
and the other side of the stone.

I'm good at memorization,
but these are tricky.

Like, the eye's on the left side

and the eye's
on the right side here.

So I'm just gonna
do process of elimination.

I didn't see a few of these.
These are...

Some of these...
I didn't see at all.

This was...

-Yeah, this one was, uh...
-Okay.

I was working with five symbols,

which were the ones
that I saw first.

I don't know. I mean,
I-I didn't see those two.

But once I talked to Melissa,
and she saw another three,

then I saw, definitely,
the possibility

that they could be all of them.

All right, we'll see...

Once I realized that,
I knew that

I needed to go back...

All right,
he's going back to the water.

Dude, this has got
to be friggin' hard.

CESAR:
At this point,
it's getting really challenging

because all the teams are there.

The pressure is on.

Oh, my God.

This is gonna be tricky.

MELISSA: Man, you wouldn't think
this would be that hard.

CESAR: Shh, shh, shh.

-Okay.
-CESAR: But you have
to focus on the details.

MELISSA:
Yeah. Let's put
our minds together.

We got to work together.

Let's go, Juancho!

Let me get one more check,
and then if it doesn't work,

I'm just gonna go back.

Check.

Sorry. Incorrect.

Melissa, where did you
see the spiral?

The spiral is...
I saw it, uh, over here.

-Okay.
-Frog, there.

-Look. That's the fun bus.
-Oh, okay. There it is.

-MELISSA: That's the bus.
-Okay.

-What do you see?
-Come on, come on, come on.

MELISSA: Oh, good job.

-We can do this, Cesar.
-Yes.

I think these
are just distracters.

I don't remember
seeing these at all.

How we looking?
Oh, it look good.

-Sorry, that's incorrect.

how that's gonna play.

that she gets it right,

and they are second,
and they are right behind us.

MELISSA:
Detail. I'm looking for detail.

We got this guy up here.

And he's got the star...

-facing up.

Yeah, I did notice that
one of the swirls start on top.

It goes top to bottom.
We're looking for top-bottom.

-BOTH: Top-bottom.

Process of elimination

I'm gonna leave that.

I had bought us essentially
no more than five minutes,

so let's pick up the pace,
let's run it out.

SHANE:
We're literally almost there.

JUAN:
Shane was smoking me. He just...

He has the lungs for it.
I was out there trying my best.

Hopefully, I, like,
separated us a little bit more.

But we knew that the other teams
were not far behind,

every single step count.

Clockwise. Hopefully
this is right, 'cause...

It appears
like it should be right.

CESAR:
The fact that we're first
right now--

we're gonna do our best
to keep it this way.

-We're arriving.

Let's go, Ricky.

-Oh, are these cacao trees?
Look at the cacao!
-RICKY: Wow.

CESAR:
Oh, my God. [groans]

-Clue. So much cacao.
-RICKY: Wow.

Okay.

-Route Info.
-Route Info.

If it wasn't
for this prized fruit pod,

there would be no such thing
as delicious chocolate.

Cacao is the key ingredient

in the world's
favorite chocolate treats.

Teams will find out that inside
these prized pods are dozens

of slimy cacao seeds
which they need to harvest.

Using a long-handled scythe,

they must cut down ripe pods
from the trees at this farm

and then remove the seeds

before spreading them out
on a tarp.

Once they've completely
covered it with slimy seeds,

they'll get a clue.

Okay, that's amazing. Let's go.

-There's a finished example.
-Over here.

-Got it.
-Crack 'em open.

-Spread 'em out.
-Yeah. Vamos. Vamos.

-CESAR: Take our bags with us.
-RICKY: Okay.

Aquí,careful, Ricky.
Careful, Ricky. Careful.

Okay, got it.

Do you want to do it
and I hold the bag, Ricky?

-Yeah, yeah.
-Okay.

This one over here.

Ooh, that one looks good.

Careful. You can push it, Ricky.

If not...
Okay, let me try, let me try.

As a kid,
I hit a lot of piñatas.

[both laugh]

CESAR: So, the blade was sharp
on both ways.

So, you can either pull

or just push,
and it will cut, as well.

RICKY:
We probably need
at least 15 or 16.

Careful with the spiders.

SHANE:
Oh, this is gorgeous.

So right now, we're headed

to Don Manuel's Finca de Cacao.

-It's a cocoa... cocoa ranch.
-SHANE: A cocoa?

-JUAN: A cocoa bean.
-Oh.

JUAN:
Yeah. What they use
to make chocolate.

It's game time.
Time to put our heads down

and close the gap between us,
Ricky and Cesar

and maybe catch up to 'em.

We're going to Don Manuel's
Finca de Cacao.

It's a farm...
a farmers market maybe,

or it's something
about chocolate beans, farm...

coffee beans or something.

AMBER:
Yeah, at least
we're not driving today.

VINNY:
Oh, I know.
We could be totally lost here.

We're in fourth place right now.

I don't see another truck,
so hopefully

the burgundy team is far behind.

Now it's like, you know,
it's every man for their self.

Our goal today is
to get back to that top team.

We're trying to get first.

We're trying
to knock out the teal boys.

I don't want to be chasing
for fourth place.

I want to be in first.

JUAN:
All right, up the...
up the road, right?

Yup, up the dirt road.

Light jog, light jog.
I like it.

Let's go, Ricky. Let's go.

We might be good.

All right.

"Harvest cocoa pods

and prepare the seeds."

-Uh, Juan and Shane just...
-Juan and Shane just arrived.

Oh, the example, the example.

Come on. Come on, Ricky.

RICKY: We kind of made an
assembly line. I was smashing,

making sure they're open,
and he was pulling.

CESAR:
I was spreading everything, just

pulling all the seeds out.

-RICKY: That smells so good.
-It smells so good.

There's a clue.

Come on, let's get it, bae.

[Leticia shrieks]

BOTH:
"Harvest cacao pods."

VINNY: "And prepare the seeds
for processing..."

"...processing to chocolate
to receive your clue."

All right, let's go.

Are those ripe or no?

ROD:
Juan, Shane,
baby, how y'all doing?

-JUAN: Yellow and orange.
-SHANE: What's up, baby?

All right. Yellow and orange,
yellow and orange.

JUAN:
All right, yellow and orange.

All right. Come on, bro.
Come on, come on.

VINNY:
Grab 'em and put 'em in there.

-We'll crack 'em later.
-Okay.

That's not ripe!

Come on.

AMBER: I feel like you're not
good at using that tool.

[Vinny grunts]

You do it. I'll bag.

[grunts]

I'm picking up...

Oh, yeah. Come here.

LETICIA:
The strategy is
to get 'em all out now.

Save us some time
when we get back over there.

CESAR:
Look at these.

Okay, we're about a third.

-We have to get more.
-Let's go, Ricky. Let's go.

-You want to go
to the same side?
-CESAR: Yeah.

Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, my precious cacao.

-I'm right here...
-We're trick-or-treating, man,
we're trick-or-treating.

It's like hitting
a rich neighborhood

-when you're a ten-year-old.
-JUAN: Oh, yeah, dude.

-These people have full-size
candy bars, for sure.
-Yeah.

VINNY:
There's another one.

AMBER:
Babe, I think
we should go start.

-Okay. Do you want to try?
-Yeah.

[groans]
Being tall helps sometimes.

I was in Superman mode.

I started jumping up,
grabbing 'em off the tree.

I was picking them things
as fast as I could.

I knew today was the day
we had to make up time.

For sure, this is a situation

where Rod's stature
is very helpful.

It's not enough, but...

Yeah, I know, but that's it.
Here.

They have to be spread enough

-that they actually dry.
-Yeah.

YVONNE:
Let's see, we're going
to Finca de Cacao, so

I'm hoping
we get to make some chocolate,

or maybe just taste-test.

I'd prefer just
to taste-test some chocolate.

That would be nice.

I'm hoping it's something
that we're good at

'cause that's how
we will catch up.

We're not that far behind.

-Gracias.
-Let's go.

-MELISSA:
We can do this fast, bobo.
-Yeah.

YVONNE:
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

MELISSA:
We got way far behind.

"Prepare the seeds
for processing

to receive your clue."

CESAR:
Yvonne and Melissa
just got here.

We saw Yvonne and Melissa
arriving last,

so I don't know what happened
on the previous Roadblock,

but at that point
we need to focus on ourselves.

Okay, we're halfway.

-RICKY: Ready?
-Yes.

[groans]
I'm gonna have a hell
of a time with this.

These are hard.

This thing is gnarly.

-Come on, we got to move fast.
-I know.

-All right, Juan.
-[Juan groans]

How much do we have?

'Cause look at.
That's about half.

You think we got more than that?

Yeah, I do.

So... I don't know why, but
these seeds smell really good.

And it was, like, kind of like
this mushy, gooey texture,

which is whatever.
I mean, you're not even

thinking about that
in the moment.

We were just cracking and going.

-Like, we were moving, so...
-I thought about it.

You thought about it? Yeah.

That first one--
I cracked it open.

-I'm like...
-Oh.

[laughing]:
Yeah.

AMBER:
Ooh, we getting nasty today.

Bro, I think we're gonna
catch up to Ricky and Cesar.

SHANE:
I think so, too.
I think so, too.

We have
to fill up the whole tarp.

Okay, come on. Come on.

-We got to go get more?
-Yeah.

-AMBER: Where's your tool?
-I don't want the tool.

The tool is worthless.

I'm gonna climb, babe.
I feel better climbing.

CESAR:
One more.

Okay, I'm getting the hang
of this.

Another one.

Yeah, it's on the other tree.

Babe, no.
We need to find a better area.

This sucks.
This is not a good area.

There's a bunch
right here, though.

Where?

I... they're up here.
I just got to get to 'em.

You can't just climb the trees
all the way to the top.

-Yes, I can.
-Please be careful, babe.

Babe, I grew up
on the trees, baby. I'm fine.

Thankfully, I-I feel comfortable
climbing around.

I used to do that as a kid,
so I climbed right up.

-AMBER: Babe?
-Yes.

Make sure that I'm looking
when you drop it,

-'cause they get...
-I need you to look.

-You got the sack. Get the sack.
-I got it, I got it, I got it.

-Push, push, push.
-Okay, let's go.

-AMBER: Where are you?
-I'm over here.

Toss it.

[groans]

Boy, let me tell you something.

This some work right here,
but I'm getting it done.

-Come on, let's go.
-[groans]

Feeling good.
We're almost there.

CESAR:
But everyone seems
to be catching up, so

we really have
to get out of here first

if we want to keep our lead.

I don't know what these are,
but they're like

super gooey seeds.

CESAR:
Okay, check.

Check, check, check, please.

-[man speaks indistinctly]
-More?

Okay, let's spread them.

And make sure that they are not
stacked on top.

AMBER:
Whoo!

Welcome to the jungle.

Here. Come on.

Oh, that's a big one.

Here.

Oh.

Can you give me a heads-up
if you're going

to actually throw something
at my head?

-CESAR: Check.
-RICKY: Check.

-Yes. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thanks.
-Muchas gracias.

-Ooh, and chocolate, Ricky.
-LETICIA: Damn.

Route Info.

"Make your way to Estadio..."

BOTH:
"...Bartolo Colón..."

CESAR: "...and search
outside the stadium..."

BOTH:
"...for your next clue."

CESAR:
Okay, let's go.

Estadio Bartolo Colón.

MAN:
Okay, Estadio Bartolo Colón.

CESAR:
It looks like
we were the first ones out...

again.

Okay, that was fun.
I wish...

You-you should have tried
one... one seed.

-Oh.
-Cacao...
fresh cacao is so good.

-But are hands
are so dirty that...
-Yeah, I have...

...the last thing we want
in the race is getting sick.

[Ricky laughs]

Come on, babe.
We almost there. Come on.

Go.

-SHANE: Hey, buddy. Look.
-What's up?

-Oh, my Lord!
-SHANE: Yeah.

The heavens opened, and...

and a beam of light,
like, rained down

on this tree full of fruit.

YVONNE:
There's a ton right here.

MELISSA:
Get it, get it! Just go!

SHANE:
They look, and they go,
"Dude, look at that."

And so we meet at the tree
at the same time.

And we're all just,
like, grabbing.

SHANE:
It was a fun competition.

-Whoa. I'm so sorry. You okay?
-It's okay. It's okay.

LETICIA:
We're almost there.

-AMBER: Come on. [claps]
-I'm tired, babe.

Well, you're exerting
all your energy

by climbing the damn trees.

VINNY:
At this point, I felt like

we were kind of falling back

'cause we just kind of
got to the point

where there was none left
at the lower levels.

-I swear, if you fall...
-Babe, can you stop?

[grunts]
All the ones down here are gone.

Well, I told you
to get your tool.

We might not have picked
the best location.

In my head, I'm like,
"Well, the other teams

are probably somewhere
where there's more of them."

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

I'm very high.

AMBER:
It's pretty stressful.

I definitely want to get out
of there as fast as possible.

Come on, man.
You're acting crazy.

-Yeah, I didn't mean to do that.
-Let's go.

-Think we have enough?
-Are you sure?

-No, I don't want
to come back again.
-Go.

AMBER:
Hurry.

So this is only...

-barely... half.
-Yeah.

So we got to do at least
another, like, full, full bag.

Right now, we're almost done.
I'm just spreading.

This is the only... this is the
only little patch we have left.

-LETICIA: I think we got it.
-All right, call him.

LETICIA:
Check!

Tell me something good.

-[man whistles]
-Yes!
-Yes!

-Let's go, my guy.
-[Shane sighs]

Yeah, baby!

"Search outside the stadium
for your next clue."

-Oh, my gosh.
-See you later, baby. Let's go.

-Damn, Rod's fast.
-He's so fast.

He's faster than you.

Yeah! Let's go!

-We in second, baby.
-Oh.

We are in second position
right now.

We just passed the pilot boys

and Amber and Vinny,
who beat us there.

♪ And I got some chocolate.♪

-We gonna be
in that final four today. Yeah.
-For sure.

I like to work.
That's the part

of The Amazing Race
that sets you apart.

How... how hard are you willing
to grind for it?

And I feel like
me and my wife just showed

-we deserve to be here.
-Mm.

We deserve to be here!

CESAR:
We're going
to Estadio Bartolo Colón.

-Baseball, football?
-It is baseball.

-It is baseball.
-Baseball.

Come on, Ricky.
Come on, come on, come on.

Bartolo Colón.

Okay.

-Another Roadblock. Okay.
-Roadblock.

BOTH:
"Who wants to play ball?"

I want to play ball.

Baseball isn't just
the number one sport

here in the Dominican Republic.

It's a religion.

Outside the United States,

no other country has
more active Major Leaguers.

The best players
often return home,

inspired to give back
to the next generation,

like pitcher Bartolo Colón,

a 21-year Major League veteran
who funded this stadium.

This Roadblock requires
one team member

to join a training session
and complete three drills.

Field a ground ball at second

and make a perfect throw
to first,

catch a high fly ball
in center field,

and to cap it off, hit a bottle
cap with a broomstick 25 feet--

part of a traditional game,

invented on the island,
called vitilla.

Once Bartolo thinks
they're ready for the majors,

he'll give them a clue.

"Enter the stadium
through the marked doors."

It kind of threw us off, seeing
that it was a second Roadblock.

We sort of have the formula--
like, either Roadblock

-or Detour first.
-Road or Detour, you know,
and you...

CESAR:
And it's going
to happen that way.

And at that point, it was like,

"Okay, well,
you're doing this one."

♪ ♪

CESAR:
Here, give me a kiss.

You have to do what?

-Three drills.
-Okay, have fun.

I played Little League,
so I understand the game.

I've watched baseball.

I've played catch,
I've swung a bat.

So I'm pretty comfortable
with the idea of baseball.

I was excited about the jersey.

-Ooh, look at that.
-Huh, huh!

RICKY:
I know. He was like,
"Oh, look, we got jerseys

with our name on 'em and hats."

Ready? Ground ball.
Throw to first, yeah?

I kind of just jumped
right into the first one.

I do it once, I throw it,

and then the guy
gave me the thumbs up.

Go, Ricky!

RICKY:
So I move to the second one,

catch the fly ball
on the first try...

Good?

...throw it back, and I go
straight to the third one.

[sighs] We're fixing some of
the sides, and we'll see if...

we'll see what happens.

-[grunts]
-MELISSA: Okay, ready to go?

-You think it's good?
-MELISSA: For now.

VINNY:
One and done.
Nice and spread out.

Can we get a check, please?

-[sighs]
-Please. Por favor.

[man speaking indistinctly]

All the way to the edge.

AMBER:
Let's go get more. Come on.

We're close.
We just need, like, four more.

LETICIA:
It says that we have
to go to a stadium.

You're a professional athlete,
too.

I'm a professional athlete.

He shines on the stadium, so...

Man, I grew up with baseball.
What's crazy about it,

baseball probably was
my first love.

He had a scholarship for
baseball, but he chose football.

Yeah, I was getting letters in
baseball 'cause I was pitching,

throwing almost 93 miles an
hour, I think, in high school.

-And I was getting letters
from the Cardinals, Yankees.
-[honks horn]

But baseball
just wasn't my sport.

-Football was it.
-You good, babe.

-It brought you here.
-Vámonos. Vámonos.

It brought me to you, baby.

Baseball probably would've,
too, since it was fate.

Oh, halfball.

So the third one is vitilla,
which is essentially

playing baseball
with a broomstick.

Thankfully, growing up,

I actually played
a very similar game.

We called it stickball,

and we used half tennis balls.

First one, I hit it,
and it was like

five inches from the line.

I was like,
"Okay, let's focus again."

Second one was short.
It, like, hit my leg.

And the third one,
I just, like, went for it.

That's it?

Go, Ricky!

I'm gonna hit that home plate.

Did he do that that fast?

Oh, my goodness.

-Oh, my God.
-[whooshes]

-He's getting
a couple extra kisses.
-Boom!

-Did you really do it?
-That's right.

Good job.

RICKY: Bartolo Colón
handed me our clue,

and it was his stadium,
so it was

kind of cool to see him,
and we saw him

on the statue,
like, where the clues were.

-Route Info.
-Route Info.

RICKY:
"Take a taxi to..."

CESAR: "...Paseo de Doña
Blanca to find your next clue."

CESAR:
A taxi. We need a taxi.
The first one.

Wait, wait. We need
to go Paseo de Doña Blanca.

Okay, the first one.

RICKY:
He knows?

JUAN:
How many do we have left?

SHANE:
Think that's it, bro.

-That's all we got.
-Think that's all we need.

Check.

-Thank you. Thank you.
-Yes. All right.

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

-Oh, chocolate.
-Oh, hell yeah.

-Take some of that.
Okay, that's weird.
-All right.

Yeah, I don't even want that
anymore. That was weird.

-Let's go.
-Damn.

This chocolate's actually
banging. You don't want any?

No, I don't want any.
You put your mouth on it.

-It's gross.
-Oh, my God,
you're being such a diva.

Think we're making good headway.

MELISSA:
Hopefully that's it.

AMBER:
We're the last two there.

All the other teams have left.

I definitely want to get out
of there as fast as possible.

Spread these out.

I'm just going
to be as efficient as possible.

SHANE:
Honestly,

don't really know how far Rod
and Leticia are in front of us.

I know they were... they had
left somewhere around our time,

but it doesn't matter to us.

We're-we're gonna get there,

and we're gonna do
whatever challenge we can

in the most expeditious manner
possible.

If it's something athletic,
I think

-Juan and I are gonna be
just fine, so...
-Yeah.

[speaks Spanish]

-Giovani.
-Giovani.

Giovani, mucho gusto.
[speaks Spanish]

He's saying that, uh...

his name's Giovani,
and, uh, he lives around here.

[speaking Spanish]

[laughs]
Oh, that's his house
right there.

-That's where he lives? Wow.
-He lives right... yeah.

-¿Es su casa?
-Hell yeah.

-Okay.
-[laughs]

Oh, it's another Roadblock.
This is gonna be for...

This should be your last one.

-"Who wants to play ball?"
-I want to play ball, baby.

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

LETICIA:
Who want to play ball?

And it's, like, well, obviously.

MAN:
Look out. Watch out.

Oh, is he throwing balls--
crazy balls already?

WOMAN:
He's got some power...

Yeah, that's what
he's known for, for sure.

ROD:
Aah! Come on, Rod.

Make a good throw.

I hope he doesn't hit me
with a ball over here.

Babe, I cannot
throw the ball down.

I think I just been
out the game too long.

You think you've been out
of the game too long?

I should have let you do
that Roadblock.

You probably should have.

Man, this is crazy.

Go, baby!

Let's go.

Why I can't throw right?

What is happening?

How is this taking me
four throws

to throw a pitch
to the first base?

LETICIA:
Since I've been with him,
he hasn't played baseball,

except when we're playing around
with the kids in the backyard,

but it's definitely, probably
been a really long time.

Baby, this is crazy
that I'm taking this long

to throw a ball to first base.

Bravo.

It took me four throws
to throw to first base.

Who does that?

Damn. My bad, baby.

-I mean, I've seen you
play a couple things...
-So...

...you think that you're
the man in, and I be like...
-So...

-So if you're watching
Amazing Race,don't kill me.
-No. [laughing]

Don't kill me. I haven't played
baseball in a long time.

-Oh, come on.
-Okay.

Then we had to hit these little,

little cylinders,
which was hard,

'cause we had to hit 'em

with a skinny stick.

Aah!

Okay.

All right, here we go.

-Roadblock.
-"Who wants to play ball?"

-I got it. I got it...
-You got it.

-All right.
-Let's do this.

So, opening the clue
and seeing it,

like, MLBer Bartolo Colón

is going to give you your clue.

So I knew this guy
was a big-time MLB guy.

-Where's the dugout?
-Right here.

Yeah. Let's do this.

All the way to the edge.

-AMBER: Check?
-Chequear, señor.

VINNY:
Please, please.

-Yes. Thank you.
-Oh, yeah.

Thank you, thank you.
All right, come on.

YVONNE:
Well, we don't have to fight
for things anymore.

[groans]

This is harder
than what it look like.

-Hey, good luck, Shane.
-Thanks, buddy.

That's one. That's one.

Aah!

Let's go.

I cannot hit this thing.

Aw!

I should've had that last one.
That was super bad.

All right, there it is.
There it is.

Oh.

-It might have took me
about 14 tries.
-LETICIA: 14?

-That's a lot of tries.
-It was a lot.

I think I was swinging
too hard, baby.

LETICIA:
So your strength and power

helped with the cocoa beans

-but not on the baseball field?
-No, it did not help.

You know, baseball's
a little more graceful skill.

You-- Yeah,
you got to be more graceful.

It's not the football field.

Yeah, thank you. Appreciate
that, my guy. Let's go.

"Travel by taxi to Paseo de
Doña to find your next clue."

-Let's go.
-Oh, today is a day.

SHANE:
That passed, that passed.
That's good.

That's good. Let's go.

-Oh, that was quick.
-Oh, thank you very much.

How you doing, sir?

Super grateful to be able
to meet Bartolo Colón.

When he handed me the clue,
I-I did take an extra minute,

I said, "I'm super grateful to
meet you. I thank you so much."

It's an honor
to be shaking his hand.

So we got to take the taxis.

Cab right here. Can we go?

-SHANE:
Hey, let's go, dude.
-LETICIA: Rod...

Oh, my gosh.
They're passing us. Come on.

-Paseo de Doña Blanca.
-Blanca? Yeah? ¿Sí?

Okay. God, I wish
I could keep this shirt on.

My other shirt
smells like beans.

Rod and Leticia were there.

And Rod finished
just before Shane.

I would say
maybe 30 seconds before.

The difference was so small that
when we got out to the taxi,

they were
still getting in theirs.

So we might actually
be in front of 'em.

LETICIA:
Pas... Paseo de Blan... Blanca?

ROD:
Paseo de Doña Blanca.

LETICIA: We don't know.
You got to tell us where to go.

ROD:
You tell us. Which way is it?
Is it that way?

-You don't know?
-LETICIA: You don't know?

¿Yo no sé?

-Oh, my God.
-No, my guy,
do you not know where to go?

We got to ask somebody, baby.
We can't just drive.

Pull over right here,
right here, right here.

Excuse me.
Paseo de Doña Blanca?

Is it that way or that way?

[woman speaking indistinctly]

Appreciate that.

We're back in the game, baby.
Let's go.

-Good?
-Yeah.

-Check. Check.
-Por favor. Por favor.

-Okay.
-MELISSA: Check. Okay?
-YVONNE: Yay.

-Thank you. Thank you.
-Look at this.

-No, no. Ah, gracias.
-Ah! Oh, muchas gracias.

-MELISSA: Every second counts.
-Sprint!

MELISSA:
Señor! Señor!

-YVONNE: !¡Vámonos!
-Señor!

Gracias, señor.

If this were
the beginning of the race,

then ten minutes behind a team
wouldn't be that bad.

But because
we're now such a small bunch,

ten minutes
could be a difference maker.

YVONNE:
Let's see
what this next thing is,

and hopefully
we can make up some time.

-We have an advantage right now.
-We have our advantage.

At this point,
it's just hoping for the best.

We're just trying
to survive another leg.

AMBER:
This has got to be it up here.

"Who wants to play ball?"

-You want to do it?
-Me?

-It's up to you.
-Me. Me.

All right.
Vincent's gonna do it.

We get to the stadium,

and it's a Roadblock. And I
wasn't expecting two Roadblocks.

And I got nervous, and I was
like, "Vincent's gonna do it."

But then I was like,
"..., I should've done this,"

'cause I played softball,
uh, growing up.

But whatever. It is what it is.

VINNY:
We need to be in the top four.

And so I'm putting

a lot more pressure
on myself physically

and mentally and emotionally.

Yes. Nice. Good job, babe!

YVONNE:
We are last,

but the game ain't over yet.

-We still in it.
-Oh, yeah, we're still in it.

Good job, babe!

VINNY:
I never played baseball
in my life.

I guess I would consider
I'm a little athletic.

I played a bunch of video games
when I was a kid,

so kind of knowing
what to do with your hands

and trying to control 'em
with what you're seeing.

That's good. Let's go.

I got really lucky

off the first swing.

Let's go, baby!

-Did you get it?
-We're done!

Yeah.

Let's go! Let's go!

Paseo de Doña Blanca.

AMBER:
What? He doesn't know?

-VINNY: ¿No sé?
-Vincent,

if he doesn't know,
we're screwed.

VINNY:
Why is he turning left? Come on.

He obviously knows
where we're going.

Huh.

God.

Open it.

-Open it all the way.
-Oh, Roadblock.

"Who wants to play?"

I think, I think you do it.
You got this.

YVONNE: As soon as we entered
the stadium, it was clear

no one else was there.

-MELISSA: Fast, fast.
-Okay. Okay. Primero.

I have faith she'll do it.

I just hope
she does it, like, right away.

Go.

Good job, bobo!
Look at her running.

I think she has to catch
a pop fly now, it looks like.

-[clapping]
-Good job.

Yvonne just moved on
to the next stage.

Nice.

These are thin.

Small bat.

[Melissa groans]

Oh. [clicks tongue]

This is... I'm not used to.
This is not a bat.

This is a broomstick.

You got this, bobo.

Oh, I heard it.

Baby, we still rolling.

My guy rolling.

That's what I'm talking about.
Steady-o.

-JUAN: Shane...
-SHANE: Oh, we got,
we got, uh...

-Rod and Leticia. Yeah.
-...Rod and Leticia behind us.

-Yeah, yeah. Vámonos.Go. Yes.
