Original subtitles

The Namibian desert was no walk in the park.

THORPIE: I'm in pain through my legs.

BAM BAM: What day, Thorpie? Keep pushing, brother.

Race favourites, the Matildas, came unstuck...

CHLOE: Unfortunately, it was the first hill.

..in the race's biggest shock departure.

You are eliminated.

Your time on the race is over.

It really sucks 'cause I want to keep racing.

But the surprises kept coming.

Because this is a Virtual Pit Stop.

Oh! Oh, my God!

Right, we've got to keep going. (BLEEP)

What a day it's been already. No!

Tonight...

PETE: It's like IKEA furniture, but 300 years ago.

..the top five continue to push through the toughest...

Oh. Did I get you? Yeah.

Ah!

..longest...

(RETCHES) Oh, don't...!

When you see these boys struggling, you know it's hard.

Come on!

..day in Amazing Race history...

THORPIE: I'm doing this for Christian,

and I want to do it for myself.

..ending in a highly emotional Pit Stop.

Now, it may look like I'm standing on the edge of the world,

but this inhospitable and barren coastline is one of the harshest

environments on the planet.

It's known for its turbulent currents washing whale bones

to shore.

Try to navigate it by boat,

and you could join the hundreds of shipwrecks that litter

this saltwater graveyard.

This is the Skeleton Coast, the incredible location

for the eighth leg of the Amazing Race, Australia.

Our celebrities are heading towards this stunning coastline

in the order they arrived at the previous Pit Stop.

BOTH: "Route info."

"The race continues.

"Drive to the Skeleton Coast, where you must build a stall...

"..and lay out crystals for a local to sell for the day."

With the country rich in diamonds and crystals, it's no surprise

that minerals are Namibia's biggest export, and locals sell crystals

at roadside stalls, like this one, which are built sturdy enough

to protect them from the harsh environment.

In this challenge, teams must build their own stall, using the same

construction techniques as the judge.

Once their structure exactly matches in build and crystal-layout,

they'll receive their next clue.

Get in.

We were the first on the mat, so... I was pumped.

..pretty stoked about that.

But then we got hit with the still racing.

Still racing, still on that clock.

It's already been a rather exhausting day

that I was thinking, "No way!"

But we are, we're still racing.

Every day has been harder than the one before it. BROOKE: Yes.

So... We've just got to just take one step at a time.

Yeah, every day's really been hard.

(LAUGHS) It really has. (LAUGHS) So...

We're not going to lie.

# We're going to build a hut! # A hut! #

I've done a few IKEA furniture things before.

I can...

I haven't built a hut.

I feel like this could be in that wheelhouse, Bridgey.

BAM BAM: Just head up here, Logs. LOGAN: Yeah.

Alright, Logs, let's go.

Pick a station. Pick a station?

I think we've got to go next to the example hut.

Yeah, alright.

How are you, brother?

We're going to follow this.

Tell me what to do.

I'm here at your service.

Logs took the lead.

Having that scaffold background surely helps.

We'll try this frame first.

Get this frame.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was all about building that foundation

and making that formation and... (LAUGHS)

...a lot of dedication and... (BOTH LAUGH)

Hey!

Just throwing a bit of a fisherman's knot.

Not.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Come on, mate.

Wow. OSCAR: Let's go.

Right.

CHRISTIAN: We're seven hours in now, mate.

I'm so sore I'm struggling to walk, but.

Well, I've been in pain for a few days.

I'm trying to rest whenever I can,

which, on the race, there's not that much time

to be able to do that, but I won't stop.

It's in my mind.

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

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

and ReachOut's there when there's no-one else.

So, mate, a Virtual Pit Stop there gives us another fresh start.

We had one of these earlier. Yeah.

And we actually did really well after it.

Yeah. So I feel good about this now.

BROOKE: Yeah, there it is. Yeah.

ADAM: Great stuff, hon. Look, they're starting.

Come on, let's go.

BRIDGET: Just arrived.

PETE: Just arrived. We've done well, we've made up some time.

Smurfs are here.

Brooke and Adam, the Smurfs. Let's get working.

This is really testing the brain, isn't it, again? Yeah.

LOGAN: Hello, Helliars.

Alright, Bridge, you might have to do this all for yourself.

(LAUGHS)

What about let Pete set the crystals up,

and you build the hut?

That's what I'm doing.

(BAM BAM AND LOGAN LAUGH)

I notice I get criticised sometimes for not helping Bridge at times,

but that's because it's been 21 years of her saying,

"No, no, no, leave it to me."

BRIDGET: You're not really a man of the tools, though.

No, I confess that.

I feel like I'm doing something that I could potentially be OK at.

I've seen you do this. It's like...

Think of IKEA furniture, but, like, 300 years ago.

OSCAR: It's a bit cooler here. BILLY: Yeah.

Got to be a good hut. Good, strong hut.

So, nice tying, Osc. Yeah.

We're exhausted. We're tired. It's been a long day already.

Been a long day. Long day.

And we've got to keep racing.

We did actually think that Bam and Logan might be good to go off.

Look, that looks pretty steady.

They've done a good job.

So, we thought it might be smart to go kind of near them.

Bam and Logan, they're out in front, so we want to chase them down.

Keep going. It's got to be halfway here.

We need to power through this challenge

because, you know, the other teams are so strong and competitive,

especially so close to the end.

We can only do our best.

Alright, mate. Yep. I'm alright. Ah!

PETE: Thorpie and Christian are here.

BROOKE: The Tillies aren't here. ADAM: Oh, what?

That's it. This is five teams left. Better have a look around.

Holy crap. Come on, let's go. Shake it. Shake it.

This is it.

I can't believe that. I thought they were going to win it.

There's five teams left.

And I thought the Tillies were going to be...

..like, beat us.

But they're gone. And it was sad to...

And you know what that means? We've got a chance.

We've got a better chance!

But we're sad for the Tillies. Yes.

But we've got a better chance. Yes.

But I'm just a bit shocked that the Tillies aren't here.

Bloody oath.

Proof that this race isn't just... About physical.

It's everything.

This is good. I think we've done good.

Ta da!

LOGAN: That looks good, Bam!

Can we get a check, please? Check, please.

Very good, very sturdy. You see?

Boom, boom, boom. Number one.

Oh, yeah, baby. Give us the good news, brother.

Give us the good news. Good news.

BOTH: Yeah! Ha-ha!

Whoo-hoo! OSCAR: Well done, boys.

Woo!

Thank you, brother. (BOTH LAUGH)

BROOKE: Good job, fellas. Good job, lads.

Would you like to buy some crystals before you go?

(LAUGHS) Crystals for sale!

Crystals for sale! Get your crystals.

BOTH: Get your crystals.

LOGAN: "Route info.

"Head to the desert town of Swakopmund.

"You must use the below poem to find your next clue.

"'Where the ocean Leviathan leaves its mark

"'Beneath broken spine lie treasures in dark.'"

In this test of smarts, teams will only find their next clue

if they correctly interpret a poem.

When teams twig that a Leviathan is a giant sea creature,

they'll know to search the hundreds of Leviathan bones scattered

on Swakopmund's main beach.

Then, they must figure out the poem points them to the spine

and dig deep.

Let's go. (LAUGHS)

You're definitely not a poetrist.

I'm good with puzzles.

I like figuring out shit. What puzzles have you done?

You... Bullshit. This puzzle called life is...

Oh, my God!

The further and further we get through Namibia,

it...it seems to amaze me more and more.

It's like beautiful weird.

Yeah, the Germans colonised Namibia back in the day.

There's a mixture of culture.

The history is crazy.

We're on, here, Logs.

Where's the poem? Yeah, it's here.

"Where the ocean Leviathan leaves its mark

"Beneath broken spine lie treasures in the dark."

What could it mean?

Maybe we'll have to wait till the dark.

I'm not waiting for the dark.

It has to be the whale.

Check under there. What's 'Leviathan'?

I don't know.

'Leviathan', I figured some... Like Aquaman.

How did you get Aquaman out of Leviathan?

Who the hell is Leviathan?

Leviathan, where are you?

I'll hold it in the middle. Just hold that there for now.

They hang off there. Alright.

"Crystals for sale." We're officially open for business.

Officially open for business.

BRIDGET: Have you done all the crystals? No, no, I haven't done that yet.

Oh, go, Helliars!

That's a good stall.

Thank you. You're great neighbours.

Check, please!

No!

No! (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES) We don't want those yells.

Nice stall. Yeah, nice stall.

You've got the ocean. It's clean.

You come in, you feel the breeze. It's tidy. It's welcoming.

Oh.

Try again. Try again.

Everything has to replicate the other hut.

Everything's looking good, and my hut is sturdy.

It's strong. I've used enough rope. You've tied good knots.

It's not going to blow over. Strong.

We think it's the crystals.

All this is right.

I don't know. Let's just move some things.

Once you're done, I want to then have a look at the...

..how he's attached it at the top.

THORPIE: Let's have a look.

That one's underneath.

This has to be under that. Yeah.

BROOKE: Check, please!

Welcome to my crystals for sale.

Yes! Yes!

We'll have a check.

It's good. It's good?

Thank you. Thank God for that.

Thank you, my friend. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm not buying crystals from this place.

We just felt like we were going backwards and everybody

was passing us by.

OK.

"Beneath broken spine lies treasures in dark."

Let's go.

Check! Check!

It looks better. It does look better.

Better.

There's a ticking clock.

Now that the finish line is in sight,

it feels like people are playing for keeps.

I don't know what's going wrong here.

We need to work this out and get back in the race.

BRIDGET: We were looking at the hut and trying to figure out

what the difference was.

Can't see anything different.

Making it harder for us, it's a long, long day.

It's the hardest day, I think, on the race.

I'm sore. I'm tired. (CHUCKLES)

That comes underneath.

Huh?

This comes underneath.

Yeah?

So does that one, so does that one.

So these come underneath.

Oh, shit.

My supporting polls were not underneath - they were on top.

Very confident about this, Bridge.

Check, please.

Yeah! (LAUGHS)

Thank you. You're a hard taskmaster, sir. You really are.

We've been mid-to-late pack the whole time.

"You must use the below poem to find your next clue."

I think, for a while, we were, like, just hoping to survive.

And now we're... we're in it to win it.

We just have to play smart.

Work smarter, not harder.

"Where the ocean Levi...

"..Leviathan..." (CHUCKLES) Yeah.

"Where the ocean Leviathan..."

Is that like the ocean, like, breaks? Levitates?

Like, where it makes the sand?

BAM BAM: I'd imagine the Leviathan is the bloody whale.

So, we're thinking maybe... "Lie beneath."

Maybe under...under one of these... bones or something.

We don't really know.

LOGAN: "Lies treasure in the dark."

"Lies treasure in the dark."

The only thing that was in the dark was us.

I don't know what we're missing.

ADAM: Well, it's up there, hon.

Cool. BROOKE: Go. Let's go.

Let's go. Lock the car. Yep, I will.

Righto.

OK. There's a little flag there.

OSCAR: We are essentially pirates in this challenge.

Arr!

What's the poem?

It says, "Where the ocean Levithan leaves its mark

"Beneath broken spine Lie treasures in the dark."

Broken spine?

Looks like a spine here.

Is that a spine?

LOGAN: Anything?

OSCAR: The bones are from the big Leviathan.

BILLY: A whale. A kraken or a whale

that's been washed up on shore.

Like, a verte... Is this, like, a spine piece?

Yeah, vertebrae.

We assume that you've got to dig down

under one of the spines, and there'll be something there.

I've been known to bury some money, time to time.

Just put a few dollars away there, and think, "Shit,

"where did I put that?"

He buried it at our old house. Yeah.

And he spent three days digging it up to try and find it.

People don't have to know about that, Oscar.

Pretty deep on this one.

Goes the other way around, as well.

So, this one's on the left.

So, further up top, through the ringlet.

Yeah.

It had been a long day.

The sun was starting to come down.

I know Thorpie's hurting.

Come on. Check. Yes, please.

Progressively, you know, the pain is getting worse,

and I'm getting slower.

Have we got it?

Yes! Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, mate.

"Route info."

The difficulty we have is we're limited

in how quickly we can move.

Let's go.

So, we need to try and be more efficient with our decisions

that we make and interpretation of the clues.

"Where the ocean Leviathan..."

What does that word mean?

Where the ocean meets?

I think... It sounds that way.

BRIDGET: Got your bum bag?

There's flags over there.

Pete and Bridge is here.

Oh, there's lots of spine pieces.

They're getting right in deep there.

We need shovels.

"Beneath broken spine..."

BROOKE: I was digging for quite some time.

Something there.

And guess what - we found a message in a bottle.

Think you can read it? What does it say?

They're coming, they're coming, they're coming. they're coming.

They're coming! OK.

BEAU RYAN: Once they've found the message in a bottle,

teams will search on foot for Swakopmund Mole.

To find it, they must figure out that 'mole' means 'sea wall'.

Find the mole,

and that's where they'll find their next clue.

Come on, let's go.

We're being covert because we don't want anyone else

to find the clue.

It's too close.

What about the next one? What about here?

Here, here, here. Very, very sneaky.

'Cause, you know, this game, everyone's your friend.

Ho-ho! Not when you find a clue.

(WHISPERS) Let's go.

PETE: Do they have it?

BRIDGET: They've got their bags on, so they've found something.

Let's go over here. Alright.

BAM BAM: The Smurfs found theirs quick, didn't they?

"Head to Swakopmund Mole." "Swak..."

And we've got to find our next clue there.

Yes, OK.

So, maybe a 'mole' is a 'mall' or something.

Hmm...

(GASPS) There it is. Cafe Mole.

Let's go, hon. That's it. The 'mole'.

OK. We'll try here.

Hi. This is Swakopmund Mole.

Is this Swakopmund Mole? Yes.

No? It is? We're after a clue.

"Swakopmund Mole to find your next clue."

This is the Mole.

This whole thing's called Mole? Oh, this whole thing.

Even up there?

We've got to look for a red...

Look for the box. ..and yellow box.

Swakopmund Mole.

There it is! Oh, my God, honey! Really?

Oh, my God. I've found the red and yellow! Far out!

Oh, my God. Oh, look at this!

Woo! OK. Oh, my God.

There's heaps more left. Let's go.

OK, quick!

Yes! Don't...don't make a big scene

because people might be following us.

Quick, quick, quick. Alright.

Alright, what's this, sucker? Oh, Jesus Christ, a Detour.

"Detour."

"Herero style or German feast?"

A Detour is a choice between two challenges,

each with its own pros and cons.

Now, the Germans built this town.

You can see it in the architecture.

But they're not the only ones that lived in this unique seaside town.

For this Detour, it's a choice between two distinct local cultures:

In Indigenous Herero culture,

cattle are a sign of wealth.

So, traditionally, women wear these hats

that resemble cow horns.

A local lady will teach teams to fold and pin fabric

to create a hat.

Once it's sitting pretty, they'll receive their next clue.

And in German culture, pigs are their sign

of good luck and wealth.

Historically, a dish of pork knuckle, known as 'Schweinshaxe',

would be eaten at celebrations.

Did I say that right? Anyway... (PORK CRACKLES)

..teams must eat all the pork knuckle and sauerkraut on the plate

to receive their next clue.

And did I mention the plate weighs four kilos?

And I never want to say 'Schweinshaxe' again.

Really? I reckon we eat a sausage.

But it's not a sausage. No, I don't know what that is.

No, I don't want to. Alright.

No, we're doing a dress. Alright. Go, go, go!

Maybe we've got to check these bones again.

"Treasures in dark." BILLY: "Treasures in dark."

I'm thinking I'm using the spine as an example.

Like, these - all these are ribs, so there's really big ones.

So, the spine is much smaller.

This is a spine. Pete?

It's got to be dark...deep and dark, right?

Yeah.

BAM BAM: Where's that clue? Read it out.

LOGAN: "Where the ocean Leviathan leaves its mark

"Beneath broken spine lie treasures in dark."

Yeah, we were the first ones there,

and we weren't the first ones to leave.

BRIDGET: A bottle.

Something in the bottle.

Good boy!

Good boy, Osci.

"Head to Swakopmund Mole...

"..to find the next clue."

Righto.

Well done, mate.

LOGAN: Man, The Amazing Race is a crazy road.

Like, you can be coming first one minute,

and then seeing yourself out the door the next.

BAM BAM: They've found it already.

Just dig, eh? Just dig.

It's been a big day.

My brain's not working.

Got to try and go deeper.

We were digging under every bone that was there on the beach.

There's a bottle.

See? Told you.

Sometimes in life, you've just got to dig deeper.

"Head to Swakopmund Mole to find your next clue."

Alright, let's go.

OSCAR: Oh, it's so glary. I can't see a thing.

BILLY: I know. Let's go up here.

That's Billy and Oscar ahead.

Where's Beau?

Oh, there's still a few in there.

Here we go.

Righto. Yes. Well done.

"Herero style or German feast?"

"Fold a traditional Herero horn headdress, or eat a plate

"of Schweinshaxe and sauerkraut." I think we'll eat.

Yep, we'll go eating.

Might be easy to fold.

Not easy to eat.

Let's try it.

There's Thorpie and Christian.

Are they still there? Yeah.

This is it. This is where I'm going to catch us up.

THORPIE: Is there anyone up there?

I think we're last.

So, "in the dark" - it should be in the sand?

Yeah. Or is it...?

So, that one hasn't been moved? Do you see?

OK. Well, it has no... There's nothing dug around it.

We've got to make up some ground.

What's there?

But my main concern is just making sure

that I'm able to support Thorpie

through his injuries to get to the next challenge.

Christian, can you just on the spine over

to see if there's a clue on it.

No? Nothing? OK.

LOGAN: Yes! (PANTS)

(BAM BAM SIGHS)

"Detour.

"Herero style or German feast?"

German feast. Let's go.

Let's go.

BROOKE: Where are the numbers?

Seven! Seven.

Number nine.

Adam wanted to do the feast - I wanted to do the fashion

because I spew at anything on this Amazing Race.

Oh, my God.

Found it? Found it.

Yes! Hello! Hello.

Oh, my God. That looks amazing! Wow!

So, we're going to learn how to make this?

OK.

Now, do you want to sit, or do you want to pin?

Yeah, no.

Who's going to make the hat? I'm making the hat.

He's so meticulous.

(LAUGHS) Total stitch up.

So, we need to go over there, like that? Yep.

One pin? I've got it, hon.

(LAUGHS) You see?

Yep. It should go...

Like this? Yeah.

Pin. And then, the pen.

Oh, man.

Pinned?

Have we got that...? That down there?

This challenge is way too complicated.

Oh. At the back.

This is going to be a struggle.

Oh, this is... (BLEEP)

BILLY: Are you hungry? OSCAR: Yeah.

Good. You?

This might be it. Yeah.

This challenge, we have to eat eisbein.

Eisbein. Eisbein.

And sauerkraut.

Oh. Oh, yum!

Pork knuckle.

And then, bang, right in front of us...

Look at this, Osci!

Yum.

Beautiful. Wow.

..three huge pork knuckles.

Delicious. And we were hungry.

How many people normally eat this?

No!

It's a lot of meat.

How are we going to eat all this?

THORPIE: I'll do this one then.

CHRISTIAN: It's this one, mate. I can feel it.

(SIGHS)

Do you reckon deeper?

Yes, yes, yes! Yes!

CROWD: Yes!

(LAUGHS) (APPLAUSE)

"Head to Swakopmund Mole to find your next clue."

Swakopmund Mole?

Thank you for cheering us on.

We had a great group of people that were cheering us on.

Some fans,

which was wonderful.

Thank you, guys. Thank you! Good luck!

Good encouragement.

Let's go. Let's keep going.

So, we've got to go out to this pier, Swakopmund Mole.

Hello. Hello there.

Is this what I'm making?

Yes. You will be making this. That's gorgeous.

It's amazing. Yes.

Is it easy, guys?

(ADAM LAUGHS)

BROOKE: It was better than sauerkraut.

He's going to wear it. I'm going to make it.

And you fold that in and make a circle.

What do I do? Just look pretty? You have the pins.

I've seen Bridge work her wonders during Book Week,

making costumes for the kids.

I know she can do this.

Well done, Bridgey!

In front of your head.

I think being a mum at this point could be really helpful.

Is that correct?

Perfect? Hey, did you hear that?

I got a 'perfect'.

I don't doubt it. It actually feels comfortable.

BILLY: Like the luckiest boy alive.

I'm battling.

I'm battling. Are you?

Yeah. And you're the eater.

This is a lot of food.

First knuckle and a half is beautiful.

And then, I started to slow up. He did.

Oh!

Hello, hello, hello.

Hello, Bam Bam.

It's pork knuckle. It's pork knuckle.

Woo!

Thank you very much.

LOGAN: Not real big fans of sauerkraut.

Knuckles, yes, but not usually to that extent.

But got to get this down.

Do you have any sauce? Barbecue sauce?

You're not allowed, sorry.

(LAUGHS) You've got to finish it, just like that.

Easy. (PORK CRACKLES)

Oh.

Oh!

OK, Detour. "Herero style or German feast?"

I think the swine... I think we're eating, Christian.

Yeah, eating.

We're hungry.

And we think that we can get through a food challenge

a lot better than something that may be in detail.

ADAM: OK.

INSTRUCTOR: So, put the pin... Got to pin there.

Yeah.

BROOKE: (CHUCKLES) Yours looks great, Bridge.

That's perfect! Look, it is perfect!

Bang on! Yeah, let's check.

Ah, yes!

It's a good hat.

No, no, no.

It's a stressful situation.

It's getting late. I'm tired.

This is rather difficult.

This hat's beyond me.

(GASPS) Oh! It's OK. Did I get you?

Yeah, it's OK. Sorry.

I can't see, we've got no light.

We got to this challenge first.

Yeah, we've stuffed it. It all falls apart.

(GROANS)

Oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

Oh.

Hey. Hello.

OTHERS: Hey!

Thorpedo! What do? What do?

LOGAN: Yeah, the boys. How are you?

OSCAR: Boys, how are you?

Oh, that is a lot of food. Nearly there.

So, by the time we arrive, Billy is sitting back

in his chair like this.

Oh.

Bam and Logan are just smashing away at it.

(BURPS LOUDLY)

Thank you. Thanks.

My first thought, when I saw the pork knuckles,

was a memory when I ate too much crackling at Christmas

(PORK CRACKLES)

(CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYS)

..and vomited.

Pork's just not my favourite meat.

How do you get that much fat down and not feel bloated and sick?

But it comes down to mindset,

and I turned the competitive mode on.

This is actually really nice.

Not...not this much.

Our approach was to eat quickly.

You don't want to be having that fatty bit when it's cold

and solidified a little bit.

So, we wanted to get through that stuff as quickly as we could.

We've been trying to catch up all day.

We feel a glimmer of hope, especially having seen that Billy

and Oscar had a fair bit to go.

Is that finished, what's on the front of your plate?

BOTH: No.

ADAM: This is a stitch-up. BROOKE: It's all...

Well, literally.

Can't see shit.

It's getting dark.

I can't see at the best of times.

My glasses are dirty. And you wanted sauerkraut.

Well, I didn't necessarily want sauerkraut.

I just didn't want to be making a hat.

Looks good now. PETE: Get some bedazzle going.

Bedazzling. Let's get some bedazzle!

After the building, earlier, I was determined.

"We are going to do this."

Judge. BROOKE: Go, guys.

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

(LAUGHS) Well done.

It's a relief to get the thumbs up.

(CHUCKLES) Good job, dudes. Beautiful.

PETE: The key to winning The Amazing Race may not

be an athlete, but to be a mum,

an Aussie mum.

"Make your way on foot to the world-famous Swakopmund Jetty

"and find Beau at the Pit Stop."

Constructed more than 100 years ago, the Swakopmund Jetty has welcomed

passengers and cargo ships from all over the world.

Today, it's the Pit Stop for the eighth leg

of The Amazing Race, Australia.

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

Let's go to the Pit Stop. (CHUCKLES) See you.

See yous! See you, dudes.

Don't poke her head.

We got to this challenge first. Yes. Oh!

The Helliars come in after us.

We thought, all the boys,

they've smashed every eating challenge.

I missed it.

(BOTH BELCH LOUDLY)

Oh, it just keeps coming.

Yeah, how good's the sauerkraut?

I love the sauerkraut. Mmm.

There's just so much!

CHRISTIAN: Where are the other guys?

They're doing making hats.

That'll be a lot of mucking around.

ADAM: Oh, I can't do any better. I can't see.

We'll swap around? Yep.

Adam legit can't see. I had to tap out.

Just tidy it up. Just tidy it up, hon.

Yes, exactly. Just tidy it up. OK.

Attention to detail is not my strong point,

but I have to take over and do this

or we're done.

Let's try this. Oh, this feels good.

This feels good.

OK, let's go. Oh.

Oh, gosh. Go! Wacky-doo!

Check.

Here. Here you go.

(BOTH CHEER)

Teamwork makes the dream work. Yeah!

Well done.

OK.

"Make your way on foot to the world-famous

"Swakopmund Jetty and find Beau at the Pit Stop."

Let's go. Let's go.

Swakopmund Jetty? Yes.

Yes? Is it down there?

Do you want to walk with us? (CHUCKLES)

Yes. You do?

Yeah. You'll walk with us?

Really? No problem. OK. Let's go.

What's your name?

Lesney? Leslie!

Oh, Leslie! And you're even wearing green for us.

Yes. No more mistakes. This could be it -

a podium finish, and maybe even finish first.

So what is your name? My name is Heinrich.

Heinrich.

But you can call me Heinie. Beautiful.

Oh, I think we see the Jetty, do we?

Thank you so much.

You're so wonderful.

Thank you, Leslie. Thank you. Bye.

ADAM: Oh, that was tough.

BROOKE: You did great, hon. (LAUGHS) Oh, no, I didn't.

Seriously, we've got to be last.

Holy moly, I'm freezing!

It's cold for the desert. (LAUGHS)

Welcome to the Skeleton Coast.

Amazing. Wow!

Stunning.

(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYS)

I see those beautiful flags.

Wow.

Welcome to the Skeleton Coast.

BOTH: Thank you! Welcome.

Pete and Bridget...

..you are the first team to check in.

(LAUGHS) Yes!

(LAUGHS)

We've finally... (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS)

Oh, my God.

On quite possibly the longest day of our lives.

The feeling was electric.

It was the most gruelling day of The Amazing Race,

and we got to the Pit Stop first.

Very proud of you guys.

Well done.

For checking in first, you get a luxury hotel upgrade.

(LAUGHS) Woo!

Ah! Good job!

Who knows?

We may well bloody win this thing.

(SIGHS)

(BELCHES)

Argh!

Logan, do you feel alright? Nah.

BAM BAM: Hey, hey, hey! Don't worry about him.

You worry about yourself, mate. You worry about yourself.

(RETCHES) Oh! No, no!

No! (LAUGHS) Move!

(GRUNTS)

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, yeah. That way.

Bam, I haven't seen you move that quick.

You see these boys struggling,

you know it's hard. Yeah, that's right.

Big day.

There's the jetty.

Here we are.

Well... Here we go.

(PANTS)

Nearly there.

We've made it! Ah! (CHUCKLES)

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

What? What?

Oh, my God. (CRIES, LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

No way! That was so hard!

Oh, my God. I'm just...

I can't... I'm honestly... (LAUGHS)

Well done. Well done!

Thought we were going home.

We can't build... We thought we were brought down by a two-horned hat!

We can't build hats! Oh, my God. This is happy tears, by the way.

I know. I've never seen you like this.

Oh!

Bring it in. Thank you! (LAUGHS)

Well done.

This race has taught us that you can do crappy,

but you just can't be the crappest.

And we were crap.

But obviously, there some other teams that were crapper.

That were crappier.

(LOGAN SIGHS) I'm really struggling.

Ah.

Crackling's nearly done.

Oh, no, no. We're almost there.

Bam and Logan are powering through this challenge.

Yes.

And Christian and Thorpie, they came a bit later.

They are also smashing it.

Good work.

(BOTH LAUGH)

I'm in awe.

We've still got half a knuckle to go, and we are full.

(SIGHS)

Every mouthful right now is a battle.

Oscar.

(LOUD BELCHING)

(PORK CRACKLES)

(LOUD BELCHING)

(SIGHS) We're nearly done, Logs.

How are you feeling?

Yeah, I love it.

You guys are definitely doing good.

Do you think? Better than these guys.

(LAUGHS)

Oh. (GROANS)

BAM BAM: Check.

OK, let's see. Let's see.

Nice.

OK. Well, you completed it.

Thank you. (SIGHS) Thank you, thank you.

Thank you. Well done, boys. Well done.

Later, boys!

"Make your way on foot to the Swakopmund Jetty.

"The last team to arrive may be eliminated."

Let's go.

Come on. You guys are almost done.

Well, I was full as a fat lady's sock,

but Oscar Boy is also struggling.

(GROANS)

Should have learned after the first eating challenge.

I'll step up to the plate.

I worked out, if I take a mouthful and drink,

it goes down. You just swallow.

We're going OK here. We're going well.

Until...

(RETCHES)

(LAUGHTER) (CHUCKLES) The big fella's no good.

Eh! Go back to your meals.

Go back to your meals.

(LAUGHS)

Oh. (RETCHING)

Luckily, I didn't have to hold his hair back.

He took care of that. Yeah.

About 30 years ago.

Good work, Dopey. (SIGHS)

LOGAN: That pork knuckle got me buckled.

(BAM BAM LAUGHS)

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

Today definitely was one of the hardest days.

We've been racing nonstop.

There's the Jetty, Logs. Let's go. Let's go, let's go.

Can see them.

Come on!

I can feel the pier moving.

Don't tell them I said that.

OK. (LAUGHS)

Oh!

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

We're safe, baby.

We've been in the desert. Now, we're out at sea.

Massive day.

We're out here representing our family, our area.

We're proud.

Missing the family, brother.

1,000% and more, bro. (CHUCKLES)

All goods.

It's OK to miss your family, mate,

because it shows you care, and you guys care a lot.

Care about each other, and you are what this show represents.

You got tests every day, and you only can work with each other.

It's all we need.

If you guys work together, you can win this thing.

You know that.

We're going to try.

Get some rest, recover, go digest that pork knuckle...

(BOTH LAUGH)

..and I'll see you again very soon, alright?

Thanks. Well done. (LAUGHS)

Good job, brother.

It's OK, my man.

Ah!

Let's go, baby. All day.

Just got pork knuckle on my only white singlet.

(LAUGHS)

BILLY: Righto, we've got to make a concerted effort here.

A bit of water on the lips,

and we walk back in and get back into the pork.

So, there was a little spot there that I could have some more.

I feel...

Let's put it all on. (COUGHS)

We've got to eat all this sauerkraut, don't we?

THORPIE: They had a lot to go.

Billy and Oscar are struggling.

You alright?

And this allowed us to catch up.

(BELCHES)

(BLEEP)

But we had left the worse bits to last -

fatty chunks, and things like that.

The bits that aren't as yummy.

No, no, no, I've had it in my mouth.

Oh, I don't care. (LAUGHS)

Let's get it done.

Check.

Yes. Yay!

(COUGHS, BELCHES)

OSCAR: It's pretty demoralising when you see everyone starting

to go past you and leave the challenge,

especially when you get there first. Yeah.

"Make your way on foot to the world-famous Swakopmund Jetty

"and find Beau at the Pit Stop."

Yep. Let's go. Let's go.

Come on, mate.

I've been very proud of Oscar the whole trip.

There's no doubt about that.

Oh. (SIGHS)

He's impressed me with everything we've done.

And now it's my turn.

I don't want to let him down.

That's why I kept going.

Check. Check, please.

Check, please.

Good. Yes. Yes!

Ah! Thank you.

Thank God for that. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

Did well.

Thank you.

We're still in it. Good boy.

Oh, thank you. That was beautiful.

Don't ever want to see or eat a pork knuckle again.

Oh! It actually hurts to walk. I know.

Straight? Or right?

Straight. Straight?

Straight. Straight. Thanks.

I feel so bad. Oh, mate.

Breathe properly. Come on, breathe.

You don't want to let the other person down.

Oh.

That's what's getting us through at the moment.

Oh, jeez. (CHUCKLES)

It's a good walk.

CHRISTIAN: Hopefully, get there before Billy and Oscar.

We're realising how much we care about the result.

I'm doing this for charity.

I'm doing it for my mate Christian.

And I'm also... You know, I wanted to challenge myself.

So, I have three exceptional reasons to keep going.

Where's the Jetty? There.

Come on, we're nearly there. Yeah.

Last bit.

Home stretch.

Jetty goes right out to that point.

Oh, here they come.

Let's go, Dad. We're nearly there.

(SIGHS, PANTS)

(SIGHS) Oh.

Oh, boy. Good work. (SIGHS)

Welcome to the Skeleton Coast.

Thank you. Thank you.

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

Ho! Well done, Dopey.

And the fullest team to check in.

What a day, Bill. Oh.

Big day. Big day, mate.

I don't even know what we did today. (CHUCKLES)

And guess what? We're still here.

You're still here. Still here.

And you guys are working very well together.

What's it like out here with your son, mate?

No, it's been great. He's fantastic.

He's been very good, the boy.

Um...

Yeah.

Good stuff, Dopey.

You've been good, too. Nah.

You got us through.

You got us through in that last challenge.

Good work. Yeah.

Still in. No, we're right.

We're still here. Yep.

I spoke to you before you came on this show, Bill.

You were super pumped to be doing it with your son.

That's it. You're traveling the world.

We are in Africa, on a pier in the Skeleton Coast.

And you've got your best mate with you.

Exactly. We're having fun. It's pretty special.

We are. Yeah.

I know you're very proud of him.

You got more to give, Bill? Yeah.

We go again. We live another day.

We fight another battle.

I love it. Bring it in, huh? Good on you, boys.

Good boy. Good work.

Thank you, mate. See you, mate. Thank you.

Thank you.

I've known Billy Brownless a long time,

and I've never seen him like that.

And it's great 'cause it shows he cares.

Ah. Really, really good.

Must be a special moment.

Special moment with his son, mate. Can't beat it.

CHRISTIAN: Good, mate. We're nearly there. Homestretch.

Hey.

Welcome to the Skeleton Coast.

Thank you, mate. Nice to meet you.

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

Enjoyed your time on the race?

I've loved it, mate. Every bit of it.

To get to travel the world and visit places

that I've never been before, alongside my best mate,

meet some awesome people -

it's a money-can't-buy experience.

And I'm sad that, you know, we've come in last place today.

Now, Thorpie, you've had some incredible tests in your life.

How does this compare?

I feel as though we're always being tested, or...

And, you know, a lot of us will do a lot of things

to avoid being tested.

This isn't something for people that are just good at one thing.

You know, everyday changes, and your ability to adapt to that

is what will make you good at this.

It's as simple as that.

Do you still think you can test yourself more?

Yeah.

Well, that's good because this is a predetermined non-elimination leg.

Fantastic. Lucky us. (LAUGHS) Ooh.

Relieved, actually.

Thanks, Beau.

Thank you.

I'm so happy you're still in.

Stick together. Thanks, mate.

My mate's here with me.

I want to do it for him. I want to do it for myself.

Go and rest, mate. Get some ice on that.

Thank you. Maybe go for a swim? (CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHS)

I know. It's a long walk back. It is a long way back.

It's fu... It's funny, isn't it?

I am stubbornly determined to actually complete this race.

We're never going to give up.

Thank you. Thank you.

Next time, on...

..an ancient land...

It's really giving me Lion King vibes out here.

..deep in the heart of Namibia.

The celebs give it their best shot...

Yes!

PETE: We are still hot on Brooke and Adam's tails.

..as the fight for the Final Four comes down to the wire.

We're going right up here.

It ain't over till the fat boys sing.
