Original subtitles

..it was the African safari of a lifetime...

Oh, wow!

..in Magaliesburg...

BROOKE AND ADAM: Three!

..with Brooke and Adam roaring into first place.

(CHEER)

Good work, hon.

But a disastrous dig...

We were the first here, and last now.

..sent DJ Havana and best friend Steph home.

What a day.

(CHUCKLES) What a day.

Tonight... Woo!

..our final six teams face the elements...

Oh!

..in Namibia.

Holy Toledo!

BROOKE: Sandstorm.

This is crazy!

I can't see shit.

They must navigate it...

CHILD: Where did you hurt yourself? I hurt my knee.

It's very sore.

..by any means possible. Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

(SCREAMING)

What day, Thorpie? Keep pushing, brother!

This is sick!

It look good on me? Yeah.

Yeah, you look like a Samoan Oompa Loompa.

(ALL LAUGH)

But a simple mistake...

(BLEEP)

(BLEEP) (ENGINE REVS)

Noa omsarab. What is that?

Oh, yeah, we're gonna have to walk and do this.

..leaves one team devastated.

BRIDGET: I feel terrible.

You're gonna feel terrible either way we go.

Race is getting intense!

I don't know where the hell you are.

Let's just pray.

Just pray, pray, pray.

Where the wild Atlantic Ocean meets the desert

on the west coast of Africa,

Namibia is a land of extremes.

From the coastline, teeming with wildlife...

(GRUNTING, BARKING)

..to the desolate dunes stretching endlessly to the horizon.

Originally inhabited by the San, Himba and Herero people,

the country gets its name from the Namib Desert...

..an Indigenous word meaning 'vast place'.

This is the oldest desert in the entire world,

dating back at least 55 million years.

With nothing but sand as far as the eye can see,

it's not hard to find yourself getting lost in a place like this.

Welcome to the extraordinary Namib Desert,

the location for the seventh leg of The Amazing Race, Australia.

Our six remaining teams have taken a flight to Walvis Bay, Namibia,

and are being released in the order they arrived

at the previous Pit Stop.

Let's do it. I'm driving.

Yep. Have a look over there, honey.

Oh, man! This is never our strong point.

(LAUGHS)

It was all well and good when it was just a joke.

"Let's come first today."

And then we did... And then we did...

And we're like, "Ooh."

And now everyone's trying to bring us down. Coming at us!

You've got your pep in your step today, darl.

I've got that fast walk.

BILLY: Yes! Oh, it is warm!

OK. OK.

OK. "Route info.

"Welcome to Namibia.

"Drive through the most ancient desert in the world

"to the mighty Dune 7 to find your next clue.

"You have 365 Namibian dollars for this leg of the race,

"which is AUD$30."

Let's go. Woo!

Let's go!

BILLY: Let's go, Osc!

OSCAR: Beautiful.

Teams will be self-driving for this leg.

They're racing to Dune 7,

one of the highest dunes in the world.

And it's here they'll find their next clue.

How do we get out of here? Let's see.

Exit there, ahead, hon, so... That's OK.

Yep. Yep.

Now right? Do we turn right?

You can turn right.

Yep.

It might be... What do you mean?

Just doesn't look like there's anything happening there.

It doesn't look like... No.

How are we getting lost? So lost.

Yeah. Go left. They went right.

So, we're already in front, Chlo.

Being out in front doesn't always help us.

I think we go with the three C's today, Chlo.

Cool, calm, collected.

Let's read our clues properly.

Let's be decisive.

I love it, I love it. This is so cool out here.

I know there's nothing out here, but I seriously love it.

Let's go, Bridgey.

Today's our day.

I love the sun! Love it!

Oh, hot.

Namibia.

Let's OGs.

LOGAN: Let's go, baby.

So, I enter the dystopian world...

(CHRISTIAN LAUGHS) ..of Mad Max.

I'm hoping we don't have to go up Dune 7.

I hope we just have a chance to look and admire it's...

..how grand it is.

This morning was hard.

I woke up, and I couldn't walk properly.

I've had shin splints.

It's kind of gotten into my knee,

and it's been bad for the last couple of races.

It's too much to think about, actually, running up it.

(BOTH LAUGH) I'm like... I'm not running.

CHLOE: Dune 7, right, right, right, right.

This is another pinch-me moment. I know, darls.

Here we go.

Come on.

Here's the clue box. Yep.

Go get it.

Let's do this. Let's come over here. Let's go.

Here we go.

EMILY: "Detour." Let's go.

"Two by two or four by four."

A Detour is a choice between two challenges,

each with its own pros and cons.

In this Detour, teams must choose between two by two or four by four.

Dune 7 is the tallest sand dune in Namibia.

In its shadow is Peter's Pan,

a flat basin and the starting point

for teams choosing two by two.

They'll have to scale this massive dune on foot.

At almost 400m tall,

it's a gruelling test of endurance and willpower.

Once they reach the summit, they'll have to sandboard

all the way down to retrieve their next clue.

Some of our teams might not like it.

It was at this exact moment when I realised I don't like heights.

Ah! I knew I should have done Survivor instead of this.

On the other side of Dune 7

is Snake Bend Pan.

Teams who choose four by four must complete an extreme 12K drive

through the dunes that requires nerves of steel.

Maintaining a constant speed is crucial to prevent sinking

in the soft sand.

Getting bogged will cost you valuable time.

A judge will ride with each team, watching their every move.

Once a team completes a clean run, they'll receive their next clue.

Now, there's only three spots available at each Detour,

so teams better get in quick if they want to secure their first choice.

"Sand dunes." What do you want to do?

This is hard. That's up to you. You pick it.

They're both sick! Yeah, I know they're sick.

You pick it. Um, I think we should do the 4x4.

OK, sweet. Do you reckon? Do you want to?

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

Do you want to walk up? It's going to be pretty intense.

Or do you want to do...? No. Let's do 4x4. OK.

Yeah, let's... 4x4, that's us.

4x4.

All three driving spots are taken,

the only option now is walking.

"Detour." "Detour."

CHRISTIAN: OK, so we're doing two by two. 4x4 is closed.

So, we're gonna have to get the walk on, mate.

Yeah, it looks like it. Come on, feet.

(LAUGHS) Let's go.

Not off to a good start, here, Logs.

It's al right.

Drive to Peter's Pan.

Peter's Pan? Yeah.

THORPIE: My knees are cooked.

So, driving was the preferred option today. Yeah.

I know what it takes to do a sand dune.

And I've got to get through this with, you know, bad knees.

Sand dunes are horrible.

You produce a lot of lactic acid,

and you just feel like throwing up.

Half the time, you do.

EMILY: Driving in the desert. Come on, we've got this.

Hi. Hi. How are you?

Very...very well. How are you guys doing? Great. Thank you.

So, today you're going to be doing a little bit of a drive

through these lovely sand dunes.

We've got an instructor who will go in the car with you to guide you

through the particular route.

What's important is that you keep your momentum and you don't stop

because the car can get stuck.

Playing football, we took our team tour to Qatar.

We got to go on the sand dune slopes,

but we were just passengers.

Here we go. You've got this, darls.

That's about as close as I've been to four-wheel driving in the sand.

INSTRUCTOR: You want to give it gentle but firm going up.

(ENGINE REVS) OK.

So not getting it to a spin.

Now you're going straight, darls.

Darls? Oh, sorry. Sorry, sorry.

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. (CHUCKLES)

That's my bad.

Stopped. Yeah.

Great. We're not off to a good start, are we?

(ENGINE REVS)

BROOKE: That's the Tillies.

Oh, shit. They've ruined their car.

Can I go around them?

We've got a chance to make up some time, maybe.

Come on, man.

Ho-ho-ho! (CLAPS HANDS)

Yes!

Look at this. This is pretty. Wow!

Honey, you're driving in the dunes of Namibia!

This is just amazing countryside.

Don't do a lot of actual four-wheel driving,

but thankfully, we've got a very bad driveway...

(BOTH LAUGH)

..on our farm.

We haven't got to fixing it yet, but every time it rains,

we have to four-wheel drive to get home.

This is amazing. This is incredible.

Oh, my God, look!

Oh, wow.

That's...

(LAUGHS)

Oh, my God, you're smashing it, honey!

Look at you. You love driving. Oh, man, I love this shit.

You do! (LAUGHS) This is fun.

CHLOE: Well, I'm bogging the car.

Uh... (CHUCKLES)

Unfortunately, it was the first hill, wasn't it?

Yep.

Seatbelt. Yeah. OSCAR: Seatbelt on. Yep.

Righto. Here we go.

Let's go, Dopey. Oh, that's it.

That's it. We just push it into the side.

Oh, bogged! We don't want to end up like that.

Jeez.

(LAUGHS)

Been driving for a long time, believe it or not. About 40 years.

Stay in the tracks. That's it.

But, no,

Dopey hasn't done four-wheel driving before.

I got it, son. Oh!

I can feel it!

Keep going, little car. Don't stop. Go, go, go, go, go!

Oh, no. Keep going, keep going.

Oh!

Oh. (ENGINE REVS)

We're bogged here, mate.

(BLEEP)

(BLEEP) Oh, righto.

Let's go, Osc.

Oh! I'll go that side.

How does that look?

Oh, the front two off?

BRIDGET: This is incredible.

We are going to do something so cool.

CHRISTIAN: So cool.

Just watch your step. Go sideways, mate.

Knee's not allowing that, mate. And it's hot.

We're in for a big one here, Logs.

We've got this.

Hating life already.

Got to help my brother through this, I think.

It's going to be a little bit of a struggle, but we'll be alright.

We're going to get there.

Let's go.

This is unbelievable. Incredible.

This is incredible. Look where we are.

Wow.

Doesn't even look real, does it? No.

Looks like my screensaver.

The sand dunes are spectacular.

I feel like Lawrence of Arabia, but in green.

Think I've definitely got sand in my bits already.

I've got a few sand bits.

How are you guys going?

I'm good, baby.

Damn, you look like Chewbacca and Princess Leia had a baby.

You know what you're going to look like soon?

I'm too far away. I can't hear you anymore.

(LAUGHS)

It's one major hill.

Yeah, if me pushing or dragging you is going to help you, let me know.

There's always a part of you that wants to push

when you're uncomfortable.

And everybody has their own limits.

But knowing each other as well as we do,

we know what those limits are.

We know what we're capable of, and we work toward getting

the best out of ourselves in that moment.

Just push off the back foot.

Just wait a sec, mate.

Do you want me to drag you? No, Christian, it's the wobbling.

So, you've kind of just got to have enough support

that you're there and find a way to get through it together.

I'm thinking of crawling it. I'm thinking of crawling it.

Then do whatever you've got to do.

(PANTS)

(PANTING)

BAM BAM: It's the training we need. (LAUGHS)

(PANTS) Shush.

Please.

Let's go. Let's go. Good work. Good work.

This is it, Logs. Home stretch here.

Home stretch.

Where's my mountain?

(PANTS)

It's game day, Pete.

Yeah. It's game day!

What day, Thorpie? (THORPIE PANTS)

Keep pushing, brother!

LOGAN: These sand dunes are not for the faint-hearted.

Come on, Logs. 20m.

Very fortunate to have Bam there to motivate and push those

that are struggling along.

Let's go, Thorpie!

Yous need a water?

We're here to compete.

But at the end of the day, we're human, and we're all here

to represent each other's charities.

Let's push, Thorpie! Good work!

As much as I'm trying to win for my charity,

they're trying to do good for their charity, as well.

And I feel like that's what we're here for.

We're here to help each other.

This is all about love, you know?

PETE: What was your thinking as far as doing this

compared to the other one?

CHRISTIAN: Well, we didn't have a choice.

LOGAN: I'd rather do the 4x4.

It's easy work. (PANTS)

BILLY: Go, mate. Go!

(GRUNTS)

Can you see through, Osc?

Oh, the front two, Osc.

CHLOE: I'm not happy. I'll tell you.

BROOKE: Oh, good job. Woo!

(ENGINE REVS)

You're doing great, honey.

I'm so not confident when it comes to four-wheel driving.

I get scared, even on our property,

when it's muddy and I slip and slide.

I, like, scream like a baby.

Oh, these dunes are massive. Like, I'm not kidding. They're steep.

It was a no brainer that we both went, "Ads, you're doing this."

Right. We brake.

Oh. Hang on.

Good job, hon. Woo!

We actually can see the red and yellow flags

where we started.

Well done. I hope you got it. Felt good.

You, buddy, were awesome at that. Felt good.

How did we go, Reinhart?

Oh, no.

Oh! Yes!

Well done. You!

OK. "Route info."

"Your guide to drive you across the salt flats to Pelican Point,

"where you will kayak with rowdy sea life

"to learn more about them."

OK, let's go! (LAUGHS)

Pelican Point is a protected nature reserve and home

to a few friendly faces. (GRUNTING, BARKING)

Up to 60,000 Cape Fur seals pack this beach all year long.

You can hear it's loud, it's noisy, they're inquisitive,

not to mention their unique smell...

(GRUNTING, BARKING)

..which you'll catch a whiff of from over a kilometre away.

(GRUNTS)

Teams must be driven by a guide through this nature reserve

to the seals.

From there, they'll kayak into the icy waters of the Atlantic.

They must navigate through the seal colony

and locate four floating buoys

containing facts about the local sea life.

They'll need to take in everything that's written on each board,

so they'd better keep a sharp eye.

Back on land, a local sea life expert will ask one simple question

to test their memory.

If they get it right, they'll receive their next clue.

I know what you're thinking.

Celebrities in kayaks with seals?

What could go wrong?

Hey!

(GRUNTS)

BROOKE: Are you hopping in, honey? ADAM: Yep.

So, you're going to drive us? OK. Let's go.

OK. We're good?

CHLOE: Let's give it a freaking yeehaw!

To the left, to the left. The red one. Red.

Yep. Partner in crime, Emmy.

Watch out for the top hill. Yeah! Yeah!

Holy smokes! Just go down straight, darls.

Good, good, good. Woo! Yeehaw!

BILLY: Right.

We give it a go?

OSCAR: I think...

Hey?

I think so.

Right, can we go forward now?

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

Kick, kick, kick, kick!

Oh!

Oh, no!

Oh, shit.

EMILY: I'm hoping we get a pass. Fingers crossed.

CHLOE: Fingers crossed, darls.

BOTH: Yes!

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

Yes, Pelicans. Let's go.

Awesome. Are you with us?

Yes. BOTH: What's your name?

Willem. Willem. Emily.

Nice to meet you. Chloe.

Alright, let's go.

(PANTING)

PETE: Nice bit of firm stuff here, Bridge. (PANTS)

You tread lightly... (PANTS)

BAM BAM: All day, Logs.

CHRISTIAN: Walk in the trail.

THORPIE: This is exhausting.

It is hot out here, and I'm in pain.

Keep pushing, brother!

Woo!

Yes, brother!

Yeah, Peter!

Yeah, Logs.

Good job.

Yeah, the Thorpie!

Let's go, brother!

BRIDGET: Woo! Good work, team.

That's the way, Thorpie. Good work, brother.

Thanks, man.

When we reached the summit, it was a moment of relief for me.

CHRISTIAN: Proud of you, mate.

It's tough.

But, my goodness, I just feel really proud of ourselves

for getting up here.

Oldest desert in the world.

How beautiful.

Almost got conquered by it.

(CHUCKLES)

THORPIE: I thought I was going to eat a lot of sand

on the way down,

but I really don't care

because I just didn't want to walk any further.

That was my motivation.

Guys, this is your desert speed machine.

BRIDGET: I can't wait to sandboard. BAM BAM: We're ready.

LOGAN: Oh, we're going face down. Yeah, baby.

Alright, let's go.

Ah!

Woo!

Whoo-hoo!

Yes! Ah!

Argh!

(LAUGHTER)

Bridget's got this.

Go, Pete! BRIDGET: Whoa!

Wah!

Whoa!

Oh, this is incredible!

(LAUGHS)

Three, two, one, go!

CHRISTIAN: Yes!

Ah-ha!

(LAUGHS)

BAM BAM: That was sick!

Yeah, Logs!

How good was that?

Great. (CHUCKLES)

Better than walking.

That was awesome.

(PETE LAUGHS)

We actually wish we could pause the race and climb up the hill

to do it again - that's how much we loved it.

Ooh!

What have we got here?

Oh, that was incredible.

That was amazing.

Next clue.

"Route info.

"Your guide to drive you across the salt flats to Pelican Point...

"Where you will kayak with rowdy sea life and learn more about them."

Thank you, brother. Thank you.

Let's OG.

THORPIE: Sweet. CHRISTIAN: Let's go.

BILLY: How are we looking, alright? OSCAR: Yeah.

We'll give it a go?

Ho-ho-ho!

That's better. Yep.

Finally got it.

We got ourselves out of being boggedd.

Just got to get a bit of momentum here.

Yeah.

We thought four-wheel drive should be an easy one to do,

but it's taking us longer.

We're falling behind further.

How did we go?

Guys... Yep.

Yep.

Yeah! Oh! Thank you.

Thank you, my friend. Thank you. Well done.

Yes. Well done.

This is what we want.

"Route info. Your guide to drive you across the salt flats

"to Pelican Point, where you will kayak with rowdy sea life

"to learn more about them.

Righto, let's go.

BROOKE: Woo!

Oh, go on, Lou. This is great.

ADAM: Wow! Look at the birds. It's amazing!

Just amazing. Does anyone eat the flamingos?

No. No.

No, can't eat flamingos.

That's why there's so many of them.

Darls, can we see Brookie and Adam just up there?

EMILY: 40m. They're going a bit slow for my liking.

I'd love to overtake them right now.

Oh, jeez.

Jesus. What's she doing? I don't know.

Oh. We're getting there.

Yeah.

(BARKING, GRUNTING)

Get our bags. How awesome was that?

Wasn't that amazing?

Amazing!

I don't think I've ever seen a seal in real life.

Look at them, Chlo. They're just, like, swim... That's Thorpie!

That's to be Thorpie, that one. Gosh.

Can you hear the seals?

Maaaaah! How cool is that?

Seals are so bloody loud.

They've got beautiful big eyes, and then they're like, "Maaaah!"

This is sick.

Smells like... BOTH: ..shit!

Oh, my God.

They're little seals.

I hope they don't bump us off.

It's a good day to have a good day.

Oh, my God. Holy heck.

ADAM: Oh-ho! They're off. OK, wait, hon.

Holy...holy shit! Holy shit!

Holy crap. OK.

EMILY: We're slowing. Yeah, I got it.

Get me to somewhere else. Are you scared? Are you OK?

Chloe, you're gonna have to get out right in front of it.

Are you gonna be OK? Right.

They don't bite, do they?

Seals are quite scary.

Every single buoy,

someone's got to jump in.

But the seals, they're everywhere.

There's hundreds of them.

Darls, you just keep an eye on the seals, yeah? Yep, I got it.

Em! Em, Em, Em, Em!

They're coming for you.

I'm actually a little bit terrified.

Right. Ah!

Yeah, I got it.

There's heaps of them there. I know, are you scared? Are you OK?

No, I'm all good.

I'm one with all the animals, remember?

If a seal wants to jump in my kayak,

I'll go, "Hop in, mate, let's go."

I know that this is going to be a strong point of ours.

It's going to come down to stability, cohesion.

Yep. And we got this.

Yep, I got it.

They're quite friendly.

Alright, hit me with the facts.

Oh, they're coming. Careful, Chloe.

You've got a few friends coming.

We've got four buoys,

and at every single buoy, someone's got to jump in

and retain the information about the sea life.

You got it? OK.

"2.7 million Cape Fur seals

"on Namibia coastline,

"with 40,000 to 60,000 living in this bay."

BROOKE: Right. Left.

Right. OK, right.

Hey, seals!

Hello!

Oh, my God, that one's having a kiss, I think.

ADAM: Right. Right.

The main thing we know about seals is they're very handy on fridges.

"Cape Fur seals 8% of their own body weight daily."

Woo! OK.

BOTH: # Fish, squid, crab Fish, squid, crab

# Fishy, fishy, squiddy, squiddy... #

It's 8%. It's 8%. # Fish, squid, crab. #

BRIDGET: Oh, my gosh! There's tons of seals.

(GRUNTING)

PETE: (CHUCKLES) There are a couple.

Wow. Little baby ones. Hey, guys, block the road!

LOGAN: They look like seals, there.

Oh, that's mad.

(KISSES)

Do they attack you?

Only if you look them dead in the eyes.

Really? No, I'm joking.

How did you fall for that?

Mate, I don't know anything about seals.

Time to get in there, be one with the seals.

Logan, you should feel at home.

PETE: OK. It's amazing.

Bam, is that the seals, or is that you, the smell?

(LAUGHS)

(GRUNTING)

This is a better challenge for us, being in the boat.

Also, you know, this is for charity.

This isn't just a vacation for us.

We want to do well.

Cool? Yep.

Definitely my first time in the water with seals,

aside from swimming next to this bloke through his career,

in his big black suit.

I'll paddle, mate, you just sit there.

Yep, I'll just try and get you in the right direction, and then I'll stop.

I mean, you're used to seeing SOME seals.

This is, like, a colony of seals altogether.

(GRUNTING) Whingey bloody things, aren't they?

Yeah, just like me.

You alright?

Ah! What's up?

There you go. Alright, let's go.

Watch the waves. Watch the waves.

Stay still!

We like water, but I don't think the water likes us.

We'll have to get out. Yeah.

Bro, if I get out, I'm not going to be able to get back in.

Woo! Woo! You little bugger!

BRIDGET: That was a good one. That was a good one.

This is a physical challenge.

We are surrounded by athletes. The Matildas are out in front.

"Averages 1.5 rescues per patrol.

"Six Cape Furs rescued..."

My secret weapon is my memory.

It's one of my strong points.

And there's no point going around the course strong and able

if you can't memorise.

One and a half rescues, and six since April 6th.

That's a goal. It's an Aussie Rules goal.

This is my moment to shine.

I'm going to memorise all these facts.

The bloody seals! (CHUCKLES)

Which one was married to Heidi Klum?

OSCAR: Yeah, we're the sixth car. BILLY: We're sixth car, yep.

Alright, let's go, Dopey. Let's go, Osci.

EMILY: Yes. 300-metre efforts, yep?

"Holds its breath for up to 7.5 minutes."

Let's charge back.

OK, I'm going to recite, OK?

20% squid, 2% crab.

Nice, darl.

Keep going, guys! Keep going.

Bloody hell, they are fit, aren't they, those bloody Tillies?

Seals can swim 200m below sea level.

We're coming second, behind the Tillies.

Yep. Woo!

I got it, I got it!

Emily has this to a T.

70%, fish, 20% squid, 2% crab.

It's called selective memory.

Cape Fur seals can swim under... 200m below sea level in 7.5 minutes.

Boom! Sorry.

It is a talent. I'm not going to lie.

Hello, sir, how are you?

Fine. And you? Oh, we're so good. Thank you.

OK, question -

what is written on the blue border of the facts boards?

Sorry? Say it again?

What is written on the blue border of the facts boards?

Oh.

Do you remember? I didn't see them.

What is written on the blue border? Blue border.

The blue border on the facts boards.

I'm not too sure.

The only question he asked was what

was, "What on the outside of the border of the buoys?"

Nothing to do with the actual information that was written

on the buoys.

Great. OK. Alright.

Oh, my God. Oh!

Got it. OK, here we go.

BROOKE: What? Water!

Oh, my God!

Drag it up.

Yes, that was an amazing experience.

Those seals! Thank you.

What is written on the blue border of the facts boards?

Catamaran charters.

OK, let's go.

Whoa! Holy shit, hon! You good?

Now this is gonna be hard.

OSCAR: Kayaks are definitely designed for little people,

so we know that every minute counts.

Oh!

Capsizing and then swimming into shore is not what we need.

Didn't need that.

Let's get all the water out.

Going to have to lift it up.

Are we gonna flip it every time we get out?

We were too heavy for the boat.

The kayak was here, the water was there.

Flips every time.

Yeah, same with us.

(BARKS)

Shut up.

Oh, let's go around.

Let's go, let's go!

It was next to impossible to complete the task,

but we had a crack.

Have fun, have a crack, and don't look back.

He-he! (CLICKS TONGUE)

Good job, Chlo. We're good.

CHLOE: "Friends Of The Seal."

"Friends Of The Seal." OK.

What is written on the blue border of the facts board?

(SIGHS)

I didn't see it at all. Yeah.

Alright, let's go back in and check the first one and come back. Yeah.

Down. OK. (PANTS)

Hello, again, sir.

What is written on the blue border of the facts board?

It said, "Friends Of The Seal."

BOTH: Yes! Thank you so much.

Thank you, sir. And we are friends of the seal.

I will remember,

"Friends Of The Seal," for the rest of my life.

OK, here we go. Oh, Roadblock.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, Roadblock. Let's go.

"Who wants a traditional spa treatment?" Oh...

That's me! We both want it. OK, you can have it.

Thanks, darls. You can have it. OK.

A Roadblock is a challenge that only one team member can complete,

based on a cryptic clue.

One thing you need a lot of in the desert is sunscreen.

Luckily, the locals know all about it.

The Himba people are the last nomadic tribe of Namibia.

To protect themselves from the harsh climate,

they use otjize, a mixture of animal fat and red ochre.

Forget your regular day spa clay masks.

This ancient remedy works as a sunscreen, bug repellent

and gives an iconic red glow.

Teams will catch a lift with the Friends Of The Seal

to the edge of Pelican Point.

From there, they'll self-drive

to the township of Mondesa

and join a Himba tribeswoman to mix up a batch of otjize -

the traditional way.

Then, they'll apply it evenly to their forearms and face.

Once they're covered, they'll receive their next clue.

Oh, he's the driver.

Yep. Bags in the back.

We're in a good spot.

Go us. Proud of us.

What is written on the blue border of the facts boards?

Friends Of The Seal. Friends Of The Seal.

Oh! Yes!

Yes! Let's go.

OK. Hold that for me. OK.

Oh. BOTH: Roadblock!

"Who wants a traditional spa treatment?"

Oh. I think it's your turn.

OK, I'll take it on. OK, let's go.

And then, the last one was they go down 200m,

hold their breath for 7.5 minutes.

It's impressive.

Taking these facts in.

70% fish, 20% squid and 2% crab.

And I know all of this now.

What is written on the blue border of the facts board?

Friends Of The Seal.

(BOTH LAUGH)

What about all that other information we've got?

Let's go. Ooh. Red.

It's a Roadblock.

"Who wants a traditional spa treatment?"

This is going to be something disgusting.

You want to be disgusting? Yeah.

Alright, OK. Yeah.

We're ready to go.

Still in the race.

Let's go.

We're back again.

Friends Of The Seal.

Hey! Thank you.

Thanks, brother.

Roadblock. Ooh, Roadblock.

"Who wants a traditional spa treatment?"

That's all me. That's you all over. It's all me.

OK. What is written on the blue border of the facts board?

Oh, that is a good question.

Um, I'm pretty sure it was Pelican Point.

Oh, no.

(CHUCKLES)

Bam and Logan are still here, aren't they?

BILLY: Yeah. Yeah.

Alright, hold this.

1.5 average. "1.5 rescues."

OSCAR: Friends Of The Seal.

Very important, that.

What is written on the blue border of the facts board?

BOTH: Friends Of The Seal.

Roadblock.

"Who wants a traditional spa treatment?"

Dammit. Yeah, I got it.

OSCAR: Friends Of The Seal.

BOTH: Ah! Is that all it was?

Thank you. Nice rip. Nice rip.

Oh, red. That's a Roadblock. Oh, Roadblock.

"Who wants a traditional spa treatment?"

Yes, I do. You do.

(GRUNTING, BARKING)

That ain't my bumbag. Are you serious?

Yeah. That ain't my waist. (BOTH LAUGH)

Whose is that?

I don't know.

They've left it. What should we do?

Just bring it.

Or you could leave it.

They're gonna have to come and get it. Yeah.

BAM BAM: I'm sorry.

Alright, let's go.

Go, boss. Go, boss.

I feel bad leaving that there.

Yeah, it's a big call.

It's a hard one.

Technically, it's not our fault.

It isn't our fault.

I do feel a little bit bad, but this is all for charity.

We're in it to win it.

We want to win.

So, we're going to Mondesa Clinic, aren't we?

Yep. It's a fair way.

How awesome.

We've been to spas all around the world.

Oh, literally. Yep.

That is our, like, little oasis thing to do, outside of football.

Oh, my God. What's wrong?

My God.

Where is it? Don't know.

We're not going back. I don't need it.

Yes, you do. No, I don't.

To cross the line, you need this.

No, you need your backpack. No, you need this.

Can you check? Oh, it is...

Yeah. Stop, stop, stop, stop. ..definitely not there.

Can we find out that...? It's not there.

Can you unlock the boot, please?

Oh. We need to go back.

We need to go back.

I'm sorry man. It's OK, darls.

It's alright. It's alright.

We've got the best driver here. Yep.

He's going to get us. You need to...

..fang it now.

Oh!

Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

Oh, God. We were so far ahead.

Shattered. Yep. Shattered.

It's OK, darls.

(SIGHS) It's alright.

Oh, I'm sorry, Chloe. Darls, I don't want to hear sorry.

I don't know how I forgot that. Honestly, I don't want to hear sorry.

I am...I'm gutted.

I've left my bum bag back at the kayaks.

It's OK, darls.

I know Chloe's staying cool,

but I feel like I'm letting the team down.

It's like in football -

doesn't matter how many times you lose the ball.

What are you going to do when you... when you lose it?

Go again. Exactly. That's...

..that's all that matters.

I just feel guilty, that's all.

Don't feel guilty. I know.

It's OK. It doesn't matter.

ADAM: Oh, we've got two teams behind us.

BROOKE: Ah! (LAUGHS)

And you're...you're driving, hon.

Yep, I'll get out. Thank you.

Oh, this is where I'm leaving you.

From here, you're on your own.

PETE: Oh, come on! Oh, can't you come with us?

It was so relaxing.

We thought...we thought we had a connection. (LAUGHS)

OK.

Yep. That's it.

So, you're going to Mondesa Spa.

You'd love a facial, wouldn't you? (LAUGHS)

ADAM: I think we're close. BROOKE: Yep, Mondesa.

This is bloody amazing, right?

Is this a village?

It was a great energy on the street.

Everyone's smiling and waving, and it was cool.

It was easy to get lost in but.

(CHUCKLES) This looks very confusing to drive through.

I don't know if this is right.

There are some dudes working here. Yep.

Look, we're looking for the Mondesa Clinic.

The Mondesa Clinic.

Of course, I'm about to drive now. Yeah.

If you would be able to follow me, then you'll be fine.

Yeah, can you...? Oh, really?

We'll follow you? Yes!

Oh. Oh! Oh.

He's taking us a bit of Backtrack Betty.

Look at us going cross country.

Oh, yes! How good?!

We've got the local knowledge.

BRIDGET: Look for Mondesa Clinic.

We're here for a spa treatment. (LAUGHS)

See the Big Boys tuck shop?

I used to work in the tuck shop.

I used to give kids their lunches.

Hello.

THORPIE: Hello.

Hi.

How are you? I'm Ian. This is Christian.

Nice to meet you. Very beautiful.

Hello, I'm Pete. Pete?

Pete, yes. Umaya.

Umaya. Nice to meet you. Bridget.

He's going to have it on his face. It's on me, so I'm doing it.

I'm gonna watch.

The Himba women, beautiful, with this reddish kind of glow

that you could see.

So, break it down. Roll it.

This odd skincare routine is a combination of breaking down

a rock into a fine powder that has to be mixed together

with some fat to form kind of, like, a paste

that then you put over your body.

OK, so all over.

I know a bit about skincare, and animal fat's not in my routine

because it actually won't go below the first surface of your skin.

I can't help you, mate. Yeah, I know.

That way? OK.

We go this way. Come on.

OK, marked house.

There it is! There it is. I see it.

Hello! ADAM: Hello.

Oh, my gosh!

Can we work with you? We're at the day spa.

Oh! Do you want to go on that side?

Yes!

Oh, how do you do it? Because Adam's got to do it.

(CHUCKLES) You're doing good, honey!

This is great. Yeah.

And then, you've got to put it in there.

Oh, OK. OK.

Ah!

Doesn't smell great.

(LAUGHS) Cool. OK.

PETE: Break it down.

It's like a day spa.

I feel a bit guilty at the moment

because I think we both need some pampering.

But I'm going to be the one receiving it.

It smells like a Parisian bakery.

Parisian bakery?

It smelt like three-day-old chops that had been left on a plate

in the hot sun, in the backyard.

Make sure all the animal fat's mixed in with the powder.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah!

CHLOE: So, we're definitely in last place right now.

EMILY: For sure. (SIGHS)

We're good, darls. We're good.

It's because you picked up my bum bag and not yours.

I know, I know, I know. That's what got me.

It doesn't matter. It's my fault.

OK, take three breaths.

(BOTH BREATHE DEEPLY)

Bloody hot. 39.

39.

Yeah, I feel we missed that turn.

Here, brother. We're looking for this.

Mondesa Clinic.

Not far. Just you turn, like this.

Thank you, my brother. Appreciate you.

Let's go. Lock it.

Got everything? Lock it.

So, where that big tall thing is?

No. No?

You can get in from there.

You go left before then. Yeah.

Yeah, OK.

So many kids here. It's beautiful. Beautiful kids.

These girls are in hysterics watching you, mate.

Great.

BROOKE: Go, honey.

That's it. Is that right? WOMAN: Mm-hm.

Oh. Yeah.

Oh, it smells amazing.

BAM BAM: Hey, Pete, you look good, mate!

About time.

Oh. WOMAN: Yeah.

My name is Bam. Mmm.

How are you? Fine.

You look beautiful. Thank you.

Hi. Hello.

Billy. Oscar. Oscar?

Yeah. He's going to do it.

It's me, and my skincare regime is soap.

Good value and works well.

Look at this skin.

Oh, yeah. It's a nice paste.

BROOKE: Now you've got to do all over your face and ears and neck.

Woo! (WOMEN LAUGH)

I think he looks awesome. Thanks.

You look sexy!

Adam's skincare routine is basically putting soap

on his hands and rubbing it on his face,

which, let's be honest, it's worked.

Oh! Oh, wow! (CHUCKLES)

Oh, wow!

Have I missed anywhere? (LAUGHS)

How did I do? Did we do good?

Yeah. Yes! Yes!

Oh, wow! How good?!

Does it look good? Oh, you're so lovely.

I think smiles are universal.

Thank you so much.

Oh, yes!

How cool.

Hon, wipe yourself off now, and then you give yourself a clean.

OK. You look great. (CHUCKLES)

OK. "Route info.

"It's time to go shopping. You will need help along the way

"as your shopping list is in the local language,

"Damara-Nama."

OK, let's go shopping.

In this challenge, teams are helping a local shop restock their shelves.

They'll be given a list of special orders to pick up -

a white shirt,

a red hat,

a green jacket,

and blue sleepwear.

But there's a catch.

The list is written in Damara-Nama,

a language unique to this part of the world.

First, they'll need a lesson from the locals.

CHILDREN: Hi!

Uri hems.

Aba abas.

Am trey.

Noa omsarab.

Then, at nearby street stalls...

There.

..they must find and collect the orders,

using their new-found lingo.

Once they have correctly identified and collected all four items,

they can head back to the store to receive their next clue.

BOTH: Very cool.

Oof! "Grootfontein Street and search for the marquee..."

How's that? Let's go. Let's go!

Come on, let's go!

Anything can happen.

We've got the fastest driver here.

He's going to haul ass to get us there.

We're going to pick up that bag, we're going to go back,

and we're going to do everything else right.

This is not a turning point for us. OK.

Right now, we're in the uncontrollable.

Ruined my day.

It's not going to ruin your day

because you get to make the decisions,

whether it's going to ruin your day or not ruin your day.

It already has. No, it hasn't.

I can't believe that something so stupid...

No, Em, don't worry about it. Anything can happen, OK?

Alright. We're almost there.

Go! Get out!

Yeah.

(GRUNTING, BARKING)

Thank God.

Chloe, let's go.

Alright, we're going to make up for lost time.

Sorry. Yeah, it's fine.

We're here now. We've got the bag. We're here now.

I'll hold it with my dear life.

Alright, darls. Yeah, you hold on to that thing.

It's safe to say that I'm never letting go of this bag ever again.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry.

Oh. God. What a stress.

Is it a bad time to say I really need to pee?

Um, yeah. You can pee when you're in your spa resort, OK?

(LAUGHS)

BRIDGET: They're all having a lovely go here.

PETE: We're doing the Roadblock, and I have to basically cover myself

in red ochre.

It's a kind of a sun protection.

This is high UV, this. I reckon this is, like, UV 80.

Right. That's good? Mmm.

Yeah. This is, uh... Yeah.

This is a different sunscreen than, uh...than I'm used to.

It feels like gritty kind of dirt

because I probably haven't done it fine enough.

CHRISTIAN: Plus, the hairs on your arms don't help.

You're supposed to be sitting there and shutting up, aren't you?

(LAUGHS) Well, it suits you, Pete.

(LAUGHS) The colouring.

The colouring suits you. Yeah?

These women are absolutely loving me.

I can't exactly say why.

Do you need it in your beard?

I don't know. No beard? In my beard?

(SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE)

Well, I agree. (LAUGHS)

Yeah.

I'm big in Namibia.

(LAUGHS)

Do you think you'll be doing this at home, mate?

Absolutely not. (LAUGHS)

I am not doing this at home.

Yes? Yes.

Woo!

Yes!

Check, please. Yeah.

Thank you. Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Your hands are all dirty. Yeah, a bit red at the moment.

Yeah.

"Route info."

CHRISTIAN: "Time to go shopping."

BROOKE: Hey, look at down here. ADAM: It's looking shoppy down here.

It's looking shoppy.

Is this it?

This is it. I see the red flags! Is it? Oh, yeah. It's them.

Oh, my God! Yes!

Hello. Hello.

Hey, this is my shop.

This is my shopping list.

This is my children.

They can help you with the language.

Yes. Yes, yes. Thank you.

You're gonna teach us? Show us where to go?

OK. Yes.

Yes. Yes! Yay!

You're gonna teach us? We take this. (LAUGHS)

We've been given a shopping list.

OK. Where do we go?

We have to go through the town and find stalls.

OK. This is cool.

There are two little beautiful kids, and they're going to walk us

to the fashion place where we need to find our items.

And they've got to teach us the language.

So, when there's a thing there... (CLICKS TONGUE)

Yeah. Uri...hems?

Oh, so go the first one. What's this?

Oh, just go...? (CLICKS TONGUE) What's that?

Am trey. Oh.

OK, now we've got to...

Hi!

Oh, we got to pick... We've got to pick something.

Hi. Lovely to meet you.

Lovely to meet you.

Um...

This one?

This is hard.

Lucy and Ruby back home, my daughters, would love this.

(SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE)

It look good on me? Yeah.

Thank you. Yeah.

You look like a...

..a Samoan Oompa Loompa.

(ALL LAUGH)

What are you doing?

Yeah. A little bit more.

Oh, OK.

Wait, that's...

Damn. Is she flirting with me?

Yeah. I think she definitely is. (LAUGHS)

Hey! Ah, beautiful.

I just love the ladies.

The ladies love me.

It's just a Bam Bam thing, you know?

Alright, check.

Good? Mm-hm.

Kiss? (LAUGHS)

Ah!

(BOTH CHEER)

OSCAR: Yeah, definitely an improvement.

BILLY: Looks like Shrek. How was it?

How was it? Good?

Ah! Thank you. Ah!

Blow a kiss. Blow a kiss.

Mwah! Mwah!

Mwah! (LOGAN LAUGHS)

Now we're doing something. Hold that.

Oh, sorry, you've got red hands.

"It's time to go shopping."

Hello. Hey.

Hello! This is my shopping list.

This is my children. They can help you.

Boy and a girl. You? Yeah?

And you? OK. Oh, you're already holding hands.

Alright. (CHUCKLES) Yeah.

CHRISTIAN: How are you? How are you? Hi.

Hey. This is my shopping list.

These are my children.

Who's good at languages?

OK. Let's go.

Aba abas. Which one?

Aba abas. Aba abas.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Aba...

Abaaa...

(CLICKS TONGUE) Aba... Aba...

(CLICKS TONGUE) Aba... Aba... (LAUGHS)

Are you tricking me?

(LAUGHS)

I hurt my...I hurt my knee.

It's very sore.

I need to get the clicking and first part of the word.

Am trey. Am trey.

Am trey.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Abi... No.

Aba a... No.

I have a little bit of an ear with languages.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Noa... (CLICKS TONGUE) ..omsarab.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Noa...

The people who speak those languages may disagree.

Please. (LAUGHS) I'm so sorry.

I feel really bad.

We're getting laughed at a lot today.

Hello. Hi!

We're Australian.

We're looking for... (CLICKS TONGUE) ..abas... (CLICKS TONGUE) ..abas.

Abas? (CLICKS TONGUE) Abas.

Bit of a stitch up?

Emi, I just want us to stay calm like this.

Because at the end of the day, if we're frantic,

it's not going to help either of our situations.

It's 38 degrees outside.

They're all wearing sweaters.

They must be so acclimatised to this heat, hey.

Alright, Chlo, race is on.

Race is on.

We never give up. Not an option.

Hi, I'm Chloe. Lovely to meet you.

It's like a soccer match. You can be two goals down at half time.

You have a chat, you stay positive.

You go back out there, you win that game, 3-2.

The comeback is on.

Look good. Feel good. Race good.

Hey!

That's my man. How are you? (CHUCKLES)

How are you?

Good day?

There was a shopping list with four items on it in the local tongue.

Omsarab.

Ooh, we're gonna have to walk and do this.

Do we need to do the.... (CLICKS TONGUE)

Yeah.

We've got two little helpers.

Their job is to help us to pronounce what we're buying.

Noa omsarab.

Can you do that one again?

Noa omsarab.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Am trey? Well done.

Uh... Uri hems? ..uri hems?

Uri hems.

Ah-ha!

Back in my day, I used to love shopping, in my early 20s.

Any money I had, it went all on fashion.

OK. That's uri hems, hon. Hold that.

Um, aba...abas?

Abas. Hat. OK!

Oh, it's a hat.

Do I...? I'll go down the other one? OK.

Aba. A red...

Red. A red hat.

The older I've gotten, you know what?

Don't have... Still loves shopping.

Oh, really? Oh, here we go.

Hello! Hello.

Yay!

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Do you feel cleansed? Do you feel good?

I feel good about myself.

Yes? Yes.

Yes. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you. Chloe, you were amazing.

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

We just need to stay positive so we don't turn on each other.

Yep. Go, hey.

Let's go shopping. Come on.

THORPIE: Hi. How are you?

We're looking for... (CLICKS TONGUE) ..uri hems.

Yay!

CHRISTIAN: Thank you.

Am trey? Thank you.

Is that all four? Alright, we've got it all.

So, what's this?

Am trey, yeah! What's this one?

This one?

Uri hems. Yeah.

What's this one?

Sleeping clothes.

Sleeping cloth?

We realise, in our pronunciation of the words,

we're getting one thing wrong.

I'm not confident with that last one.

We need to go back. Why?

That's not 'noa omsarab'.

We had a green puffer jacket, and that needed to be a blue pair...

Pyjama pants. Pyjamas. Yeah.

What you'd wear to bed.

Noa omsarab. Noa omsarab.

Omsarab, what is that?

Omsarab is like a gown of sleeping wear.

Like a gown? A gown of sleeping wear.

Oh, for sleeping in? Sleeping.

OK. Yeah, I'm having a blue one.

Oh, is that blue? Does that mean blue?

Noa... Noa...

Is that blue? It's blue? Noa omsarab.

Thank you. You're the best.

Noa omsarab. Noa omsarab.

A blue... Sleeping wear.

Blue. Blue gown.

Well, where can I buy it from?

From her. She has it.

WOMAN: Noa omsarab is at my house. Let's go to your house.

Come, take me to your house. Take me to your house.

I'm running after you guys. Ah-ha-ha!

You want to join the race?

Yes.

We'll drop you home.

And what do we say? BROOKE: What do we say?

Mate. Say, "G'day, mate."

G'day, mate. G'day, mate.

G'day, mate. That's it!

Those little moments that we had with the kids

have really energised us.

So sweet.

They're a real reminder of where you are,

what's happening... Yep. ..and how amazing it is.

They assured us that we got everything correctly.

Hopefully they got something and a bit of joy from us as well.

Yeah, it was pretty special.

But they certainly gave us a lot of joy.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Aba... (CLICKS TONGUE) ..abas.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Noa...

(CLICKS TONGUE) Noa... (CLICKS TONGUE) ..omsarab.

Did we get it?

Are you ready? Are we ready?

Are you ready? We're ready! Yes!

Thank you.

Good teamwork. Great teamwork.

Come on.

Now, all that remains is this dry riverbed, known as Tumas Pan.

It's hot, it's dusty.

It's in the middle of nowhere.

It's where our teams will find me for the extremely dry Pit Stop

"Search for Beau at the next Pit Stop. Hurry!

"The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

BROOKE: OK.

Come on, get in.

Oh, God. Yep. It's unlocked.

Yep. Hop in.

Personality-wise, we've all really meshed.

Yes. All the teams.

We're making great friendships.

OK, Tumas Pan.

But when it's race time, it's on! It's on!

It's on!

It's going to be a race to the finish.

We've got to get out of here and get on the freeway.

Here we go.

Well, let's see here. This is... this is where we've got to go.

Tumas...Tumas Pan, over here.

Looks like there's a sandstorm coming.

Oh, my God. Look at it. Is it a sandstorm?

Whoa! It's all just dirt and dust.

Oh, my God! This is crazy!

This is nuts!

Now I can't see shit.

Sand everywhere.

(SIGHS)

The race is getting intense!

So, Frida, when was the last time it rained here?

Oh, over 10 years.

Over 10 years ago. Yeah.

Oh, my God. This is crazy! Sandy.

Holy Toledo! Driving on a freeway in a sandstorm.

Whoa!

You know, you just couldn't care

not having sand in your house, living here.

At the start of the race, we didn't see ourselves

as serious contenders, but we're in it.

Oh, there's a flag.

I think I see a flag.

We're getting more hungry, and we're not ready to go home yet.

There's that flag up there.

Logan, get ready to run.

We're gunning for first.

We need to get back on top, that's for sure.

Watch your feet. Watch your feet.

Here we go.

(BOTH PANT)

Welcome to the Namib Desert.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

Bam Bam and Logan, you are the first team to check in.

Yah-ha! Yee-hoo!

Very excited boys!

Ah! Back up the top. Back up where you belong, yeah?

That's it. I'm ready to have a drink.

Ready to have a drink.

Well, you might have to hold that drink

because it is a Virtual Pit Stop, boys.

(GROANS) On your way.

And we go again, boys.

We're still racing. Still racing.

Still on that clock.

But we've put ourselves in a good position here.

Holy Toledo! (PANTS) (PANTS)

What's going on here?

Welcome to the Namib Desert.

Oh! Thank you!

Thank you for having us.

Brooke and Adam, you are the second team to check in.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Oh, my God!

You're kidding. I thought we'd got lost.

That's amazing.

Time to rest and recover.

I'd love to give you that time, but I can't because it is

a Virtual Pit Stop. Oh!

Oh, my God! OK, we've got to go.

See ya. See you soon.

Hi. How are you?

Noa omsarab?

Omsarab?

Thank you.

Noa omsarab.

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

We've got to get our kids, and we go back.

Everyone's close. Yeah.

Noa omsarab. Alright.

PETE: Yes? OK. Yes.

Yes! Ah!

Yeah!

High five! Yeah!

Yes! Yes!

Thank you. Thank you. Well done. Thank you.

"Drive to the spectacular Tumas Pan and search for Beau at the next Pit Stop."

"Hurry! The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

"May be eliminated." Let's go!

BRIDGET: Pete, honestly, I've got no idea where we are going.

Step by step. I feel terrible.

You're gonna feel terrible either way we go.

BILLY: Let's see which way they go, Osc.

OSCAR: They've gone left.

And then we follow that road all the way down to Tumas Pan.

It's crazy how the desert is on the Atlantic Ocean here.

And the water is very cold. Very. (LAUGHS)

Very cold. Very cold.

I thought it'd be hot, you know? No.

BILLY: It'll be interesting. We're in for a race, Osc.

Let's go!

This is it. This is it. Yeah?

Is this a road? We are crossing the railway.

# Look both ways and be alert

# If a train hits you, it's going to hurt. #

Oh, there's an arrow, too.

OSCAR: There's Pete and Bridge.

We need the keys to open the boot. PETE: Keys to open the boot.

One, two, three.

OSCAR: Stopping.

Go, go, go, go, go! Go, Osci!

There's the flags, Bridgey!

Oh, my God! OSCAR: I can see Beau.

Alright. Good.

Here we go.

(BOTH PANT)

Pete and Bridget, you are the third team to check in.

(LAUGHS) (SIGHS)

Are you fluro red, or am I hallucinating?

It's... Yeah, it was a nice little spa treatment I had.

I booked you in. Awesome.

Yeah. So... Awesome.

But it is time to rest, isn't it? It is.

You'd think so, but this is a Virtual Pit Stop.

Oh, here we go. OK. (CHUCKLES) We're on again.

Alright. OK. On again.

Thank you. Yes. No worries.

See you soon. Maybe not.

BILLY: Oh. (PANTS) Yes!

It's Beau.

Oh. (SIGHS) Good work.

Billy and Oscar, you are the fourth team to check in.

You got here. And where are we?

Right now, the Tumas Pan. This is...

Used to run to the Atlantic Ocean.

As you can see, hasn't run for a while.

But you know who is going to run? Who?

You guys because this is a Virtual Pit Stop.

Oh, jeez!

(LAUGHS) We've got to keep going.

I'd love to stay and talk for hours, but we are in the desert,

and the cobras are coming.

Cobras? Thanks, Beau.

EMILY: We need a win. CHLOE: We need to make some time up.

Yep. Let's keep going. Keep going.

Yes!

Perfect.

And...

Oh, yes. Thank you.

Yep. Thank you. Yes? It is?

This is where it gets fun.

The belief is back!

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, guys. Thank you. Thank you, girls.

EMILY: We see Thorpie and Christian.

We got to go, we got to go.

It's put a little fire in the belly.

BOTH: Yes! Good job, boys.

We need to get in our car right now. The boys just got in the car.

If we take a wrong turn, we could be going home soon.

I know, darls.

There's the water clue. There's the water.

So, think. OK.

We need to go away from the water, don't we?

We've got to go back around, Chloe. We're definitely.

Yep.

Got to get back out to the motorway, Chlo. I know, darls.

We just got ourselves lost. OK.

CHRISTIAN: We have had no idea where this Tumas Pan is.

Have we gone past it?

I don't know where the hell you are.

We know that we could be up for elimination.

We have no idea where Chloe and Emily are.

Which road are we on now? Um...

EMILY: Do you remember going through all this, Chlo?

Like, do you remember all this?

'Cause I don't.

I'm actually a bit worried, Chlo.

CHLOE: Emily and I have been going off our gut instinct,

and it is not a good feeling that we're getting right now.

We don't know where the... (BLEEP) ..we are.

Someone's got to go home today. I know.

Come from here, the teams, or they could come from here.

There's... At least we can see them.

They're not just going to surprise us and pop up.

Yeah, we can see them coming.

There is not a single car in sight.

So, I don't know if that's good or bad. (CHUCKLES)

There's no way we want to be eliminated right now.

We're not ready.

This experience that Emily and I are getting to learn more

about each other, get our friendship a little bit stronger,

I'm not ready to give that up.

Just pray. Just pray, pray, pray.

We're not losing. We're going to stay in this race.

Is that a railway line just there? Yeah.

See the railway line's following?

Going... So, we've got to turn.

So, the railway line is going to go that way.

We've got to go just after it.

Been in pain for a few days, but I won't stop.

I'm doing this for a charity at home, ReachOut Australia.

There's a lot of people that are doing it tough.

So, until we finish, I'm in race mode.

Is that a flag? I can see a flag, right up in front of us.

Yeah, I see it, I see it. Can you see it flapping in the wind? I see it.

CHRISTIAN: Red and yellow up here.

Christian and Thorpie.

How far is it?

Go. Unlock the car.

OK.

Welcome to Namib Desert.

BOTH: Thank you.

Thorpie and Christian, you are the fifth team to check in.

(LAUGHS) Well done.

How are you going, mate? Wounded?

I'm not good. Um...

The beginning of this, I didn't think I'd make it through the day.

That was a thought.

And then, it was just overcoming it,

you know, bit by bit, throughout the day.

But that's what you do, mate. You just push through.

And you will dig deep, and you'll have to rely on each other.

We've got more to give, mate.

That's great 'cause I've got more to give, as well.

This is a Virtual Pit Stop.

Thanks, mate. Thank you.

I'd love to stay and chat, but I'm in the desert and, uh...

Yeah, desert.

Push through, mate. Very proud of you.

See you, guys. Thanks.

EMILY: No-one behind us...

..which means I think we're the last, Chlo.

CHLOE: I know, darls.

If we're going out, at least we're going out together.

Come on, darls, together.

Chloe and Emily, you are the last team to check in.

You are eliminated.

(SIGHS)

Unfortunately, your time on the race is over.

I can't believe it.

(SNIFFS)

We feel disappointed to let down the charity.

My mother-in-law and my nonna have both been affected

by breast cancer.

Racing for them was what made this so enjoyable. Mm-hm.

And as athletes, we don't like letting other people down.

We can let ourselves down.

But letting other people down is the biggest thing.

I think, for me, like, I feel a bit guilty.

Left this thing. It's fine, darls. It's fine.

We make decisions... (SNIFFS) ..and we went through it together.

But you girls gave it every single ounce of energy you had.

And that's what it's all about, right?

It is. We didn't win it,

but we met some pretty incredible people. (CRIES)

We've been to some incredible places, and we're grateful

for what we're given.

We've made some really good friends on this show. (SNIFFS)

And even though we're all competing, it's human nature to come together.

And I think that's beautiful,

to see people from all around the world

be so happy in no matter what situation.

I wouldn't rather race with anyone else.

She's my best mate, and had a pretty good run.

You did.

Oh. Oh, man.

You're kidding me. No.

You're kidding me. Why isn't this a non-elimination?

I know. Oh, God.

Come on. I'm sorry, girls.

(SOBS) It's alright.

Thanks for all these experiences, Beau, I appreciate it.

You've given everything you've got, darling.

I think being on this race, I've definitely...

Don't know why it makes me emotional, but I think, for us,

you almost feel internally that you are just a footballer.

But I know there's a lot more to me.

Chloe and I, for once in our life, got to put football second.

We got to race for something that's bigger than us,

bigger than football.

We're proud. I'm proud of Chloe.

I'm proud of how far we've come.

I'd love to still be in it, but our time is up.

Next time, on...

As the sun sets in Namibia,

the most relentless day on the race takes its toll...

Oh!

BROOKE: It's been a massive day. (GASPS)

Oh. You alright, yeah? Yeah.

(THORPIE GROANS) BILLY: You going alright?

OSCAR: This is a lot of food.

(SIGHS)

..pushing our celebrities to breaking point.

Quite possibly the longest day of our lives.

I'm out of my league here. It actually hurts to walk.

I can't see shit.

LOGAN: That pork knuckle got me buckled.

Feeling alright? (SCOFFS) No.
