PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on The Amazing Race...
12 teams continued racing through Thailand.
-Johnny! -Oh, sorry. No!
KEOGHAN: At the Roadblock, teams felt the pressure.
-[shouts] -It's so hard not to cry. Ah.
Oh, my God.
KEOGHAN: A critical mistake
put best friends Joel and Garrett behind.
The show doesn't create the drama. We create it ourselves.
-Let's get out of here. -We left our fanny pack.
KEOGHAN: A Detour in Jocelyn and Victor's wheelhouse...
We sell, like, almost everything on this list.
I've been doing this since I was a teenager. I got this.
KEOGHAN: ...led to their second win in a row.
-You are team number one. -[whoops]
Oh, my God.
KEOGHAN: Meanwhile, a battle for last place...
Wait, is it this? Oh, yeah, yeah. Is it this?
KEOGHAN: ...ended in disappointment
for mother and daughter Elizabeth and Iliana.
Unfortunately, I have to eliminate you from the race.
No way.

-Vietnam! -"When you arrive,
travel by bus to the city of Can Tho."
KEOGHAN: Jocelyn and Victor will be the first to leave Thailand
and fly nearly 500 miles to Vietnam--
home to 100 million people,
half of whom are under 25.
When they land,
they will take a long bus ride to the city of Can Tho.
Located in the heart of the Mekong Delta,
it's where they'll pick up their next clue.
We have to go to a travel agency.
Thailand Tour and Travel.
-And then we will book flights. Let's go. -Okay.
-We're leaving in first place again. -First place.
-Yeah! -VICTOR: Okay. Let's go.
To get two consecutive first-place finishes,
it really makes us feel like
we have a huge shot at winning this.
Oh, there's a taxi right here. Taxi.
VICTOR: We have two daughters and we want our girls
to know that they can do anything that they want to.
You know, even their parents, who are turning 50 this year,
we can take on this challenge and we can win.
We are going to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
Hopefully we get a direct flight
-and be the first ones there. -Mm-hmm.
And hopefully we can get on a bus
that leaves right away to this other town.
Okay. There you go. Okay.
VICTOR: Uh, it opens at 7:00.
-In 30 minutes. -[groans]

We have to go to Thailand Tour and Travel 2, here.
-Yay. Thank you. -Good morning.
We need to book a flight to Vietnam.
-VICTOR: The soonest flight that can land there as possible. -JOCELYN: Yeah.
COREY: Oh, it's right here. Wait, stop. Pull-pull over. Pull over.
VICTOR: Yeah, I know. Sorry.
JOCELYN: Okay. Okay.
-VICTOR: Okay. -Yes.
Earliest flight as possible, right?
JOCELYN: Earliest flight. Shortest time.
That is the best flight that you have? Okay.
So we'll take that, then.
COREY: Here, here it is. We found it.
We want to do the same thing that they're doing.
-Vietnam, baby. -Got to get the fastest flight.
I visited Vietnam last year and loved it.
Did it with some friends.
Now I'm doing it with my best friend,

TODD: Uh-oh. Looks like we fell through.
No.

-LIAM: Vietnam. -It's gonna be super cool.
-It is. It is. If we get there. -Yes.
-That's what I'm worried about. -When we get there, baby.
LIAM: There were times where we had an estranged relationship.
We didn't talk and we didn't want to be around each other.
But as we grow and as we understand ourselves
and each other more, the closer we become.
-We don't live near each other. -LIAM: No.
So spending what time that we can
with one another, we cherish it.
YEREMI: Okay, yeah, so we're gonna have to go down this way.
No, he had somebody with him.
We're starting this leg in ninth place.

is luck of the draw, sometimes.
The guy that we were working with was able to work
some magic, and ultimately get us on a flight at 1:50 p.m.
Oh.
We were confident that all of the other teams
probably tried to get on an earlier flight as well.

KEOGHAN: The mighty Mekong stretches roughly 2,700 miles,
about the distance across the United States.
Floating markets like this-- Cai Rang-- can be found
along the entire length,
and feed tens of millions of people.
Using a sampan, teams need to find three vendors,
each looking to restock a different type of fruit--
dragon fruit, tangerines and golden melons.
They must collect one-third of a photograph from each vendor.
Once they piece them together, they'll have their next clue.
"Choose any available marked sampan filled with produce."
Uh, Cho Noi Cai Rang Floating Market?

"You must drop each type of produce at the marked vendor.
An example of the produce they accept is hanging from a pole."
"Drop off all produce in the baskets on our boat
to the marked vendors in the floating market."
-IAN: Fast, fast, fast! Let's go! -[claps]
JOEL: So, the first group of four teams is underway.

that has the white with the brown specks?
Oh, that... I bet it is.

JOEL: The floating market was unlike anything
I've ever seen before. There were people really just
milling around on their boats, going to different places,
buying different items. It wasn't all fruit.
There were other things, as well.
It was totally eye-opening to see.

Where would you like us to toss?
-Two, two, two. Two? Two at a time. -STEVE: Okay.

Ready?
Ooh. Got it.
Take your time, Anna Leigh.
All right, we're ready to start.
Good job!

and, I believe, a dragon fruit vendor.
Yep, yep, yep. Here.
One more. One left.
-That's it. -ANNA LEIGH: Done.
-Thank you. -STEVE: Two more fruits.
But we got our biggest one delivered.
Okay.
We got this.
We're not making good time in our boat at all.
We're gonna have to toss, like,
hundreds of pieces of fruit,
and we're going pretty slow.
We're considering using our Express Pass right now.
TODD: It's got to be up there somewhere.
We don't know which side we're gonna be on.
All right, keep your eyes peeled, babe.
ASHLIE: What are we looking for?
A marked vendor.
-Just look for hanging fruit. -Okay.
GARRETT: Is this it?
JOEL: He looks like he's waiting for us. Oranges on a pole.
GARRETT: How do we verify if it's marked?
-JOEL: Yeah, this is the right one, Smithe. -It is?
-JOEL: Put the oranges up. -GARRETT: The good thing about
being on the 5:45 departure
is we were the first boats to get to the market.
It benefited us to be there early and to offload them
before the other teams started arriving
where you might have to wait in line
in order to offload your fruit.
If we're not in first place, we're close to first.
All we have left are the yellow melons.
STEVE: See it, Anna Leigh?
-I see the yellow. Yeah, yellow. -Yeah, yeah, yeah, yellow ones.
Yeah, that's the big ones. Let's get those off.
ANNA LEIGH: Yeah, big ones. Here we come, baby. Here we come.
-JOCELYN: There. It's hanging fruit, right? -Right there.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. -Uh, uh, uh, go.
He has to go all the way around. It's one way inside.
-Can we go faster? -Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, right there.
-Right there. Right there. -Right there?
-JOHN: Yeah. -GREG: I see Rob and Corey.
GREG: Can we-can we go left? No?
Can we go around this boat?
Ugh! We have to go around? I guess we got to go around.
-Ah, we were ahead for so long. -I know.
And then he just, like, dropped back.
Three more. One, two,
-three. -Done. Done. [whoops]
Thank you. Okay.
Did you get the clue?
-ANNA LEIGH: Good job. -TODD: Hey, Texas!
ASHLIE: Hurry, Todd, come on.
Whatever it is so far looks like...
Let me see your picture. What is that? A boat ramp.
ANNA LEIGH: It's a boat ramp.
Here we go. Keep 'em coming, babe.
JOCELYN: That boat right there. That boat-- yeah.
-VICTOR: Is it the melon? -JOCELYN: Sir.
TODD: That's it, baby.
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
These are my basketball skills.
Way back in the day,
I played pro basketball
over in France and Germany.
I was a fierce competitor.
ASHLIE: That's the challenge-- finding that balance between,
like, "I'm here to have fun" and him to be "I'm here to compete."
TODD: I've been on basketball teams that lose.
You never have fun.
-Here, we're gonna start bickering right now. -Um, right?
[laughs]
Palming the ball, baby. Feeling the flow.
All right, Lena, that's pomelos.
ASHLIE: Hurry up, Todd. There's Lena and Morgan.
-Babe, I'm trying... -I know.
LENA: We can't unload when they're unloading.
MORGAN: Okay, that's a problem.
-What do you want to do? -We got to keep going.
-Let's leave. -Let's go.
All we have left are the yellow melons
after these.
Hello! Let's go, Joe.
-GARRETT: That's it. -JOEL: Okay, that's all.
-All done. -GARRETT: Get our clue?
Thank you. Thank you, my friend.
-Yeah. -Okay. On to the melons.
-Okay, let's go. -[speaking Vietnamese]
[both speaking Vietnamese]
-I just told him we're done, we're done. -Thank you.
Excuse me, sir? It's this right here? Awesome.
ROBBIN: Fast, fast, fast, fast, fast.
MALAINA: Go fast, go fast, go fast.
-ANDREA: Go fast. -MALAINA: See? Look.
Don't give him no head start.
We need to go faster.
Nice, babe. You're killing it. That's it.
-Thank you. All right, good to go. -Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
-All right, ready? I'm gonna hand 'em to you. -All right.
-See you, boys. -GREG: See you.
All right. Now it's just the manual work.
[grunting]
-Anna Leigh and Steve are here. -This is our last basket.
Oh. Okay.
-You're doing two? -Yep.
Can someone call Guinness? I think I'm holding on
to the record for most fruit touched in one day.
TODD: Corey, what's up, man?
COREY: All finished.
We got to keep looking for orange. Thank you.
-MAN: Okay, bye-bye. -Have a good day.
Two-thirds of the way done. Let's keep on trucking.
-Good job, boys. -There we go.
Good job, dude. Here we go.
MORGAN: Lena, there's another one up there.
-You see that? -That one.
-With the flag. Look. -What is that-- oranges?
MORGAN: Yeah, oranges. Okay. Let's wait for them.
Good job. Good job.
We've got two boats in front of us.
We haven't been able to get rid of anything yet.
JOHN: Our whole group came and went.
They got ahead of us in line, so,
it's never great waiting in a queue.
GREG: All right, we're good.
-All right. -Thank you.
All right, now we got to go.
GARRETT: There's melons.
We're starting to see there's watermelon.
I wonder if they're all in the same area.
Just like a grocery store.
-Is that it right there on the pole? -Yep, there it is.
JOEL: Hello! How would you like some melons?
Here we go. Ugh!
IAN: So now we're just looking for the orange vendor.
-LENA: Morgan. -Yes.
No, Lena, we can't go anywhere. We need to get one done.
What?
No, they're about to be done.
-Ian, we're nearing the end. -Okay.
Let's go. Let's go.
We're gonna use our Express Pass.
That's a smart move. Uh, Morgan and Lena
are using their Express Pass right now.
-We're gonna use our Express Pass. -Our Express Pass.
-Thank you so much. -Okay.
-We need to go here. -Please go fast.
Fast, fast, fast.
LENA: Even though this wasn't gonna give us the time gap
that we were looking for,
it was gonna stop us from being
all the way in the back.
We're using our Express Pass
because you can only fill up on the boats two at a time,
so it's making it impossible for us to finish this task
in a reasonable amount of time.
At least we have a chance
to stay in the front of the pack today.
-Last one. -And that's all.
All right.
-Thank you, my friend. -GARRETT: Okay.
So we got the full picture. That's where we got to go.
I believe we're team number one?
-Don't say it. Don't say it. -Yeah.
[Todd whoops] Let's go, baby.
-Two. -I love this. This is so fun.
We have so many more.
-Ooh. -[man speaking Vietnamese]
-They do have a lot. -Aw, let's just keep going.
But then we have to go all the way back around.
-GREG: I know. -JOHN: Aah! Okay.
We are skipping the dragon fruit
or whatever this is and moving on to the next.
Hopefully, he knows where we're going.
You see another one?
I see the melons right over there.
-Come on. Come on. -[woman speaking Vietnamese]
Let's go. We in this, we in this.
You get us, too? Okay.
ANDREA: Two at a time. Two at a time.
YEREMI: This is not our b... Yeah, this is our boat, Liam.
LIAM: Yeah, they're right here.
YEREMI: Uh, only two at the same time. We'll wait, though.
JOE: Wow. Coming up on our boat, huh, boys?
LIAM: Hey, New York, we're just trying...
we're just trying to look at you guys, see how y'all do it.
-JOE: Almost done. -IAN: Last round right here.
Let's go! Let's go!
-IAN: All right. -JOE: All right, guys.
-All right, gentlemen. -See you, boys.
YEREMI: Good luck to you guys.
Liam, I'm gonna start moving this.
-[horn toots] -JOE: Good luck, guys.
All right, sir. Thank you. Here we go.
Am I supposed to tie it? All right.
-Last one. -STEVE: Good job, good job.
-Get the clue. -Done. Done.
Thank you. Let's go, let's go.
IAN: Oh, we didn't get the clue! We need the clue!
-Go back, back up, back up! -Back, back, back, back!
-Whoa, whoa! We just need our clue. We already did this. -Go, go!
-So what do we do? -We need to get them out of the way.
IAN: There's too many people.
-JOE: Can Corey grab it? -No, they won't give it to him.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Oh, my God.
-Whoa, whoa! We just need our clue. We already did this. -Go, go!
-JOE: So what do we do? -IAN: Back up, back up.
No? Okay. He said no.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Let's go do dragon fruit
-and come back. Ugh! -JOE: Okay.
JOE: This was not our challenge, babe.
-I'm gonna go get one more basket. -Okay. All right.
-VICTOR: And we're only, like, halfway right now. -Okay.
This is like the manual labor that we do day in, day out
in the grocery business.
ANDREA: That's it. That's it.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
ROBBIN: Almost done. Chels.
-MALAINA: That's it. Yes! -[clapping]
-Yes, yes, yes! Come on! -All right, so let's go.
-MALAINA: Come on, let's go. -ANDREA: Let's go, let's go.
Me and Ashlie-- we're like a well-oiled machine.
This is how we pick up the kids' toys at home sometimes.
Wait, wait.
-Done? Done, done. -That should be it.
[speaks Vietnamese]
All right, we got our second clue. Let's go, baby.
-Any more? You got 'em all? -ROBBIN: That's it.
-CHELSEA: Okay. All done. -ROBBIN: Okay, get in.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
ROBBIN: Yeah. Get up here.
How close, Yeremi?
LIAM: We're finishing up right here, dawg.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
-Okay. -All right, dragon fruit.
-LIAM: Let's go, baby. -Let's go, dawg.
-What does that say? -Pier 20.
-JOEL: Is that it? -That looks like that's it.
JOEL: Do you see a fisherman?
GARRETT: Yeah, there's a fisherman.
Hello.
-GARRETT: What's inside? -A tackle box full of clues.
-Oh, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. -Thank you.
JOEL: All right, let's go over here and read it.
-Detour. -Detour.
"Paper or Plastic?"
[speaks Vietnamese]
This is the number one staple on the planet,
eaten by billions around the world every day.
It's been grown here in Vietnam's rice bowl
since the Stone Age.
Locals use it to make báhn tráng--
rice paper that you can eat.
This Detour requires teams
to figure out how to make it.
First, they need to pour a liquid mixture
of water and rice flour onto a steamer,
heat it for 30 seconds,
then pick it up with a wicker bat
and lay it out to dry.
Making perfect paper can be painstaking,
but if they can properly prepare 12 sheets,
they'll be rewarded with a clu.
When it comes to getting from A to B,
there's no means of transportation more popular
than a motorized two-wheeler.
Here in Vietnam, there's roughly
65 million of them.
Of course, everybody loves to arrive in style,
which is why customized vinyl wrappings are all the rage.
This Detour requires teams to cut,
apply heat, and smooth out vinl on just one body part.
It's only one part, but getting a perfect finish
without bubbles is easier said than done.
Paper. Taxis are right there waiting for us.
-Oh, okay. -Right across. Let's go.
-Let's go. -All right, hurry up. Let's go.
-Yep. Right there. -I think it's dragon fruit.
-I think that's it. -Here, here, here, here, here, here, here.
We're doing dragon fruit.
-That's it. Let's go. -Okay.
-VICTOR: What's up, boys? -Oh, you guys are in line?
-Okay. -Come back, come back. Sit down.
IAN: Good job, guys.
YEREMI: All right, now we wait.
-LIAM: All right, boys, get after it. -Phew.
LIAM: Let me see you all sweat.
IAN: Oh, my God. It's so hot.
-MORGAN: We're gonna be okay. -Oh. There.
All right. Thank you. Come on, Lena.
LENA: Can we have a clue?
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-We're gonna do Plastic. -Plastic.
Okay, let's go.
All right. We're gonna do the rice paper.
-"Travel by taxi." Let's go. -Let's go.
What's promising is that Rob and Corey were with
the first group that left at 5:45.
We left at 6:00.
And we are gonna be probably minutes behind them.
Thank you so much.
-Thank you. Thank you. -[man speaks Vietnamese]
Final clue.
Do you know this? Perfect. Thank you.
That's a sign for the rice paper place.
They're close to each other,
so we're close to both of them right now.
Okay. That wasn't far.
Let's jog down this alley to see what's down here.
MORGAN: How much do we owe you?
It's 35?
Okay. Thank you.
All right, Lena, let's rock this.
Hi. Let's get this demonstration going.
LENA: Right here.
Oh, my God. We're gonna do this quick. Okay.
Okay, so he's doing it towards the top. He's rubbing it.
-He's got the gloves on. -MORGAN: Okay.
LENA: Okay. He's shrink-wrapping it.
Okay. Slow and steady wins this race.
Who do we ask for a piece?
-Can we have orange? -LENA: Orange?
MORGAN: They're only gonna give us one piece?
LENA: Okay.
As a marketing executive,
I really wanted my artist to have this look on Fairfax
and have a huge window vinyl, and I didn't have the money
in his budget to do it, so I did it myself.
You need me to loosen it?
It's okay, it's okay. It's okay. I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
It is really hard
if you're just working on it for the first time.
It's a giant sticker that just makes you upset.
The motorcycle paneling
had sharp edges, it was very curvy.
And so what we learned was you had to cover the body firs,
which had less curves,
and then you would use the hot gun to stretch out
the material to almost, like, Saran Wrap the sides.
Go ahead. Hot air gun it.
Slow and steady wins this race.
MORGAN: Slow and steady. We're here. Nobody else is here.
-[horn tooting] -All right, this is the rice paper place.
-This is it? -It's down here.
GARRETT: Oh, there's the demo.
JOEL: All right, let's watch a demo.
There's the batter.
Pour it on like a crepe.
-You can make crepes. -I've made crepes.
So far, it's looking very crepe-like.
GARRETT: This guy is all about crepes.
I've made lots of crepes before.
Okay. Then you put a cover on it.
JOEL: In the army, my nickname
was Pierre because
my platoon mates knew that I used to live in France.
Take the paper wicket. He's rolling the wicket.
Okay. So it just sticks to it as you roll it.
-Oh, nice, nice. Okay. -Pick it up.
JOEL: Okay. And then you put it on the drying rack.
ANNA LEIGH: Rice paper? There it is.
-Come on, Dad. -Somebody's here.
Hey, guys.
-Hey, guys. All right, let's go pick a station. -All right.
ANNA LEIGH: Watch. Look, look, look.
She keeps stirring the batter. Covers it.
GARRETT: Are you doing the batter then,
since you're the crepe guy?
-JOEL: Sure. -GARRETT: So we need 12 sheets.
This is a pretty cool technique.
Keep it moving. Try to get it to spread a little thinner.
-Okay. -GARRETT: Perfect.
JOEL: All right, 30 seconds.
STEVE: Well, I don't know if you need that much, but that's okay.
We want it thinner than that, probably, next time.
-Cover it. -JOEL: Ready?
-GARRETT: You think it's next time? -Yep.
JOEL: Grab the wicket. Yeah!
Roll that paper up.
Once you get about halfway, you can just lift it off.
But don't rip it.
You just got to baby it.
Beauty!
-GARRETT: She's a beaut. -STEVE: Okay, ready?
Here we go. Is that still too wet?
ANNA LEIGH: Want 'em hard. Yes. Go now.
-STEVE: Are you sure? -Oh, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
STEVE: Aw, shoot! It's too wet coming off of there.
Scrape it off. That one's trashed.
TODD: John and Greg, how you guys doing, boys?
GREG: We're doing great. Doing great.
We're done, we're done. We're done.
-JOHN: Okay. Okay. -Okay, bye. -GREG: All right, great.
JOHN: We want to go that way.
ROBBIN: We're killing this.
CHELSEA: Little did they know, I used to work in produce.
-ROBBIN: Done. -CHELSEA: Perfect. Clue?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Bye-bye. -Okay, let's go. Oh, my God, Chels.
Final three. Get the clue. Clue?
-Okay. -Thank you. These are gorgeous.
-Good job. -YEREMI: All right, gentlemen.
-Great job today. Good work. -IAN: Thanks, boys.
We got to go back to the oranges.
We need the clue.
GREG: We have, like, seven baskets of dragon fruit to do.
We were at the dragon fruit. There was a line.
He took us to go to do the oranges,
and then there was another line, so we kind of lost some time.
We could have just waited at the dragon fruit.
-It's right there. It's right there. -GREG: He's right there.
It's right there. It's right there. It's right there.
-JOHN: Yeah, yeah. There, there. -GREG: Where is he going?
He's going to go around, I think.
JOHN: Oh, no. This man
will take the longest route he can find.
Aah!
-Oh, no. -He really did go around!
In terms of
level-headedness, I feel like we're both pretty calm people.
Not big complainers.
I feel like he's starting to get a little annoyed with us,
but, like, that's the way it goes.
-He sees how hard we're working. -Yeah. Yeah, he sees it.
GREG: I've gotten really into mindfulness and meditatio,
taking a breath, calming down.
Whatever stressful situation's in the moment,
it's going to be over eventually.
-GREG: Are you ready to make up some time? -MAN: Yeah.
Please? Fast, fast, fast.
ANDREA: How many do you have left?
We are almost through with our second basket of oranges.
VICTOR: Offloading the oranges helped push us towards the back
because only two teams at a tie could offload produce, and so,
and so any team that was already ahead was
just kind of building their lead at that point.
ASHLIE: Three more.
TODD: We're done! Ah, thank you.
Yeah. Good job, you guys.
ASHLIE: Right. We're out of here.
-We need to go here. Yeah? Good? -Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
We're probably about 30 minutes
-behind the first group of teams. -Okay.
-JOCELYN: Oh! Oh! -VICTOR: Don't be sloppy.
Don't reach down. Let me get the net.
We've been married for 20 years now.
Here, here, here, here.
JOCELYN: We don't always see eye to eye,
so we do butt heads a lot.
Oh, there it is. Right there. Right there.
-Okay, Okay, I see it. Got it. -Okay.
-Don't be sloppy. Okay, okay. -I'm not. The boat moved.
ROBBIN: Oranges up there.
-JOE: How do you want to do this? -IAN: I don't even know.
Nobody's gonna grab our clue for us.
ROBBIN: Don't let them go in front of us.
JOE: Clue, clue, clue, clue, clue!
-We need the clue. -They forgot to get the clue.
Can we just get the clue really quick?
I don't think they're gonna let us until we get up there.
COREY: "Paper or Plastic"?
COREY: We're gonna choose Paper.
GREG: Go through there. There, there, there, there, there.
-[speaks Vietnamese] -Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There you go. There you go, Tang.
-Are you ready, John? -As long as your hands are open,
I'll hit the target.
LIAM: There's our final basket.
-Yeremi's working it. -I've had
dragon fruit before, and I really do enjoy it.
LIAM: I know, right?
-Got it. -MAN: Okay. -Clear, clear, clear, clear?
-Thank you, sir. Pomelos? -MAN: Yeah.
-We need the clue. Here. We need the clue. -Yes.
-Don't forget your clue like us. -ANDREA: Thank you.
MALAINA: Come on. Dragon fruit.
-Go, go, go! -ROBBIN: Oh, we got a big lead on them.
-Those dragon fruit are hard. -IAN: Clue, clue.
Just the clue.
We spent a lot of time...
-Go it. Thank you. -Go, go, go!
...trying to correct that critical error.
Yeah, and that was tough.
-Okay, toss it one at a time. -Yep.
Nice job. Nice job.
-JOEL: Oh, that's a nice one. -GARRETT: That one was really good.
JOEL: Don't let it turn, don't let it turn.
-There it is. It's coming. -There it goes.
JOEL: Beauty!
ANNA LEIGH: Dang, he makes that look easy.
JOEL: We got this. Just like making crepes.
ANNA LEIGH: It's not picking it up.
No, no, no, that ain't gonna work.
It is not picking up.
-You hear me? -Settle down.
-Dad, do you-do you hear me? -STEVE: Yeah.
Every time she gets a little pressure
or a little frustration,
she looks for somebody to take it out on.
Usually, it's her husband, though. It's not me.
Rice paper is hard.
ROB: Oh, here. Let's go.
-Look at that one. -Perfect beauty.
GARRETT: We might need to move to Vietnam
and become rice paper salesman.
STEVE: I see another team.
ANNA LEIGH: Should we switch Detours?
STEVE: Just keep on trying.
YEREMI: Progress in the making.
-There you go. Last one. -Thank you.
-Thank you, sir. Thank you. -[speaks Vietnamese]
-So you have the clue? Yes? -MAN: It's okay.
-LIAM: Yes, yes, yes, yes? -YEREMI: Perfect.
LENA: Little heat,
little heat, little heat, heat, heat, heat. Thank you.
MORGAN: This is Lena's jam. I mean,
I've watched her wallpaper whole walls.
Hold on, hold on. Our vinyl... our vinyl is sticking together.
-Okay. -[vinyl rips]
Okay.
It's fine. Do it again.
Thank you.
You're doing so good.
LENA: Can't believe that ripped.
It's ridiculous.
TODD: Which one do we want?
-Paper? Yeah. -You want to do Paper? Okay.
-We've been efficient, for sure. -Thank you.
[speaking Vietnamese]
Go.
JOHN: We're almost done. We're almost done.
-All right. -All right, roll.
Okay, thank you.
Good job, guys.
-All right. -ANDREA: Keep pushing.
All right, we're on last basket.
Clue?
[speaking Vietnamese]
-Thank you. -Okay.
-Oh, we done. Clue. Clue. -MAN: Oh!
-Thank you. -Okay!
Thank you. Let's go.
Fisherman. We got to find a fisherman.
JOE: What do you think?
-Let's do Plastic. -Plastic.
-We're gonna do Plastic. -All right.
-All right, man. You ready? -Yep.
-Let's go. -Let's go. All right.
ANNA LEIGH: There you go.
-Halfway. -I know.
Halfway. Okay, pick it up.
That looks like a good one.
JOEL: What do you think?
GARRETT: I feel like we're making progress.
JOEL: Yeah. You almost got it.
Twelve... About 12 circles, 25 seconds.
All right, let's do this.
COREY: As soon as we figured out what the challenge was,
we were cruising.
Use your hand.
No. Other way around. Okay.
-ASHLIE: You see it? Where? -I saw an arrow. Straight ahead.
STEVE: Very, very gentle work.
Good job, Dad. We're getting there.
-STEVE: You got it. -ANNA LEIGH: Okay.
STEVE: Well, that was a good one. That was a good one.
Thank you.
Another team is getting here.
-What color you want? -Purple. Purple.
Thank you. This is all they're giving us.
JOE: Remember, babe-- do it slow
-and do it right. -Yeah.
IAN: My dad would be so good at this.
I've done stretching vinyl with my dad before,
and when I say, "I did," like, I was literally, like,
just standing by my dad, like, listening to him talk, but,
like, I know
that there's no rushing it.
You're moving at the pace of the vinyl.
The vinyl's not moving at your pace.
All right, pull it up tight,
and I'm gonna hit it with a little heat.
GARRETT: Okay.
JOEL: Oh, nice.
GARRETT: I feel like we've made a lot of progress from the first one
to where we're at now. Perfect.
Now we're getting a little rhythm down.
ANNA LEIGH: Like this.
I think that's the most beautiful rice paper
that's ever been made.
It's got wrinkles, but who doesn't have wrinkles, you know?
-Almost like a pancake. -TODD: Wide. Wider. Yep.
Thinner. Thinner.
ASHLIE: We're just trying to figure out the pattern here
-on how to make this work. -There you go. Gonna try it.
ASHLIE: But cooking is not my forte.
I cook. I just don't like cooking.
-Can we get a check? -Ready for a check.
Look at these beautiful rice papers.
GARRETT: Okay. Okay.
JOEL: Those two bad?
-GARRETT: Oh. -JOEL: Yeah, that one's gone.
-GARRETT: Three of them? Okay. -JOEL: Okay.
Let's move this over here.
We need to do three more.
Nine, ten.
Two more.
We should be able to make 12 sheets of rice paper.
I don't know. Okay.
-Thank you. -Got our bags.
YEREMI: Let's go. Let's get in here.
LIAM: When we got there,
Lena and Morgan were already there
-and so was Joe and Ian. -YEREMI: Yes. Yep.
LIAM: We pulled in, and we were like,
"Oh, there's only three of us here right now"?
Like, we feel like we're in a pretty good placement.
YEREMI: You know what's funny is that I wanted
to wrap my car for a hot minute.
-LIAM: Really? Well, now you get to learn. -Okay.
So let's start.
We chose Plastic over Paper because, uh,
it looked like something that was a little more up our alley,
a little more technical, a little more hands-on.
Let's see how thick this is
so we know how much room for error we have.
-Yeah. -Yeah. Got it.
I'm gonna hold this.
I want you to pull it not too tight 'cause it's....
-When I get it hot, it-it stretches a lot. -Okay.
Let's do these edges.
Just the edge to shrink-wrap it down.
Come on, baby. Don't let me down.
Keep right here.
-Taxis are over there? -Yeah.
-Okay. Let's go to Paper. -All right, rice paper it is.
-Let's cross right here. -What's up, ladies?
-Hi. Okay, let's cross. -[Greg chuckles]
-So, Rice Paper? -Mm-hmm.
-Um, I think Paper. -Paper.
-Yeah, let's do... We'll do Paper. -Paper.
Okay, we're gonna do Paper.
GARRETT: Nine out of the 12 were good enough.
JOEL: Almost got it.
So basically, you just can't
have big tears through it,
or have it folded over itself.
-We're gonna get a check after this last one? -Uh, yeah.
We've got 11. We're going to make this twelfth one.
-We have somebody judge it. -ANNA LEIGH: Yes.
There we go. Welcome to your new home.
Mwah.
-Little hard to... -No, you didn't bring it.
I understand that, babe.
TODD: Do you not want me to give you pointers, or...
STEVE: We got 12 right now,
so, cross your fingers.
-Check? -Check, please. -JOEL: They're already
getting a check?
ANNA LEIGH: So, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
-Seven. Ten. -Eight, nine, ten.
11, 12.
Yeah. [whoops]
-ANNA LEIGH: Good. -JOEL: They're just getting
-their clue right now. -GARRETT: Okay.
JOEL: We'll be right behind 'em. Last one.
-[whooping] -Thank you! -[laughing]
STEVE: Let's go.
Well, "Race to the Pit Stop."
It's impossible to come up with an exact figure,
but there are an estimated 30,000 places of worship
scattered across Vietnam.
Many date back thousands of years.
This one is only ten years old,
but it is the biggest in Can Tho.
Today, this quiet, spiritual Zen monastery
is where teams will find the Pit Stop.
-Come on, Dad! -I'm here.
-Taxi. Taxi! -JOCELYN: What are we looking for?
-Oh, they're there. Okay. -Oh, there she is.
-ANNA LEIGH: That way, that way, that way. -VICTOR: Thank you.
JOCELYN: Oh, Texas, go.
-JOCELYN: Here? -VICTOR: No.
-JOCELYN: Are you sure? -Just keep going.
-GARRETT: Yeah. -JOEL: Let's get it done. All right.
-Ready for a check. -Check! Check, check.
Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
Okay.
-Yes! We got it. We got it. -Yeah.
-Thank you. -Oh.
-JOEL: Thank you. -Thank you, thank you, Thank you.
-All right, let's do this. -All right, let's go.
-Holy moly. How far is this thing? -Keep going.
-Keep going. Yeah. -Oh, come on!
-GARRETT: We got to get there before... -[horn toots]
-Steve and Anna Leigh. -Look out! Phew. Let's go.
-Right there. -They're getting out, we're getting in.
-You guys all done? -ANNA LEIGH: That way. That way.
Down this aisle!
-VICTOR: Come on. -Ugh.
-Here? -VICTOR: No.
Ugh. That's not it.
-JOEL: Got to find a cab. -CHELSEA: Any tips?
-JOEL: It just takes practice. You'll get it. -Okay.
-Hello? -No, that's somebody's house.
Jocelyn, that's somebody's house.
"There are five ovens available."
-Okay. -"First come, first serve."
-Okay. -Take this oven.
-Okay, let's go. -Let's go.
We need to... Are they done?
Okay, yeah. All right. Go, go, go. They finished.
-Come on. Come on, Andrea. -Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
-GREG: Fast, fast, fast. -Andrea. Come on. -JOEL: Taxi?
-Are you guys done? -JOEL: Yeah. -Just takes practice.
-All right, we got it. Let's go. -Yep. Let's go. Let's go.
The brothers already passed us.
-Oh. Here it is. We passed it. -JOCELYN: Ugh.
-We passed it. -We must be blind! Holy cow.
Okay, we're going here.
-Can we put our stuff down right... -Yeah.
This is our station.
VICTOR: Okay, let's get a station.
ROBBIN: There's an ongoing demonstration.
Let's just go watch it.
-Is it there? -Yep, let's do it.
All right, let's roll, let's roll, let's roll.
Watch them.
Does somebody have this one? All right.
Right here. Right here, Andrea.
-ANDREA: This it? -Come on.
MALAINA: Come on. Hurry up.
MALAINA: Do we have one?
-Is there one? -Uh-oh.
There's no more stations.
There was only five stations available,
first come, first serve.
"There are five ovens available."
One, two.
-Three, four. -Three, four, five.
So we had to wait for one of the teams to leave.
-Well, this is... -We can't wait too long.
-ANDREA: This is gonna cost us some time. -MALAINA: Damn.
ANDREA: I feel like this challenge is worth waiting for.
This will be more up our alley.
-We want to do this. -Yeah.
MALAINA But there's no available stations, so,
hopefully someone will get done.
ANDREA: We are both competitive.
Even with my son.
I want him to be competitive, also.
So, that competitive spirit is always within us.
But in certain instances, you need to just be patient.
It is what it is. We'll make up time.
LENA: What's going on here?
-What's going on here? -It just needs to be cut, Lena.
YEREMI: Think this is okay right here?
Yeah, there it is. Nice.
Nice, dude. Nice. It's looking good.
It's getting light-colored there, so be careful.
-Do you see that? -Yeah.
Damn. Should we start over 'cause it's light-colored?
I don't want to get it all the way done...
-You want to redo it over? Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.
IAN: We're starting over.
Let's get... Get-get orange.
Orange?
Thank you.
IAN: I wanted to get orange 'cause it more
closely matches the color of this.
The purple, you see the white right through.
Let's go, babe. Start peeling the plastic.
-STEVE: We don't know if we're... -ANNA LEIGH: First, second.
We don't know, so, anybody's game, anybody's game.
GARRETT: We're racing Steve and Anna Leigh to the mat.
Hopefully, their cab driver doesn't know where it is.
-He seems confident... with our directions. -Good job.
We have the best taxi driver we've had in a while.
-GARRETT: Yeah, he's flying for us. -He's confident where
we're headed and he is getting us there.
ANNA LEIGH: Come on. Is there Phil right there?
There's Phil. There, there!
Come on, come on. Phil!
Nice. Beautiful.
Hi. [speaks Vietnamese] Welcome to Truc Lam Phuong Nam!
-[whooping] -Yes, glad to be here.
-Steve and Anna Leigh, you are team number one.
-[laughs] -[yells]
-STEVE: That was a great feeling. -ANNA LEIGH: From sixth,
-sixth to first. -Well, wait.
From sixth to sixth to about last, then back to first.
Yeah. That was a cool feeling.
-However, you are still racing. -STEVE: Oh, wait, wait.
-I have your next clue. -Oh, no!
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. -Rip it,
-read it and keep on racing. -Oh, no.
-We were tricked. We were tricked. -We were tricked.
Phil handed us that paper.
[laughs] I thought it was over, but no.
"Travel by taxi to Café Tu Diec
"and ask the person behind the counter for a clue.
You have 5,500 Vietnamese dong for the leg."
Come on. We're team number one, Dad.
Come on, come on, come on.
-Where are you, Phil? -There he is. There he is.
-Phil. -Phil! Oh, my goodness.
Joel and Garrett, you are team number two.
-All right! -We'll take it.
However, you are still racing.
-JOEL: Oh! Ho! -GARRETT: Oh, boy.
-All right, good luck, guys. -See you, Phil.
-Almost done. -JOE: There you go. Yeah.
I need you to come up to here.
I think the side over here-- I think this is pretty good.
MORGAN: We're gonna ask for a judge.
LENA: Can we get a judge?
MAN: No.
LENA: The air bubbles?
Can these come out?
LENA: It's not fixable. We're just gonna try another piece.
-Maybe a darker color? -Okay.
Get the navy blue.
We decided to switch colors from orange to blue
because the blue showed way less bubbles
than the orange because it was darker.
There you go. There you go.
ANDREA: Let's watch.
The five stations are taken,
so, we're waiting for a station to become available.
While we're waiting, we're looking at the demonstration.
11. That's 12.
We're gonna do one extra just in case one of them is bad.
-Should we switch? -We... Let's try it, at least.
No, no, not Detour. Switch positions.
Oh, oh, oh, sure.
TODD: We've been together since we were 15 years old,
so, we bicker.
Here, wait. Watch, you bring it up.
-[mouths] -TODD: But we have set
clear and consistent boundaries
on how far you could go.
ASHLIE: No.
-TODD: Support me. -ASHLIE: Yes, sir.
[speaking Italian]
Drop it all in there and then...
-Uh-oh. -Oh!
-Too much. -Yeah, way too much.
You said, "Drop it all in there."
JOCELYN: Circular. Circular.
VICTOR: I know. I'm trying, I'm trying.
JOCELYN: You put too much on, baby.
VICTOR: All right, you make the next one.
It's not as easy as it looks.
JOCELYN: It's already ruined.
VICTOR: I have to cook it to get it off.
JOCELYN: No, it's over. You already screwed...
I understand I screwed up, but I have to cook it.
-I can't take it off otherwise, right? -Okay, okay.
-Okay, yeah, nice and smooth. -Coming out.
Oh, see? It already is... so...
Yeah. Okay. So we'll scrape that off.
COREY: Okay. Can we have a check?
Check, please.
Oh, yeah. Only that one?
We made 13.
-MAN: Okay. -Yeah? -Yeah!
They got it. They got it. They got it. They got it.
"Search for Phil on the mat." Let's go.
-MALAINA: We got to do this. -Go, go, go.
No more heat.
I need you to pull it a little more tightly.
LENA: Okay, heat.
-Ow! -Oh, my God.
YEREMI: Uh...
LIAM: Maybe we heat it up, and it'll move a little bit?
-I don't know. -YEREMI: Uh, we can try.
LIAM: We realized that
because the fender was curved,
the rectangle sheet didn't cover the entire fender.
So I think now we're gonna get the same sheet.
Okay. Let's see.
See, like that. Yeah.
I think that's the move right there.
Pick-pick up the other side.
I think you already lost that opportunity.
I know, but I got to figure out how to pick it up.
-That's the hard... -I know. Can you try it?
-Do it this way. -I understand, but...
-Pick it up. -It's not sticking.
I don't know why it's not sticking to my thing.
MALAINA: Got to be a good one. That's a bad one.
ANDREA: Let's just take it off and throw it away.
-Keep going. -GREG: Shoot.
-GREG: My bad, dude. -JOHN: It's okay.
No.
TODD: We need to get that wicker thing wet.
It's not cook... Leave it on there. Let it cook.
Rob and Corey, you are team number...
three.
Oh, my gosh.
-However... -High five. Oh.
...you are still racing.
[both laughing]
ASHLIE: Dude, you're killing it.
I think Todd found his calling.
It's good, right?
-You want to hire him? -[laughing]
-CHELSEA: Not that way. -Why not...
CHELSEA: Okay, that'll work, but...
ROBBIN: What do you mean, "Not this way"?
She was holding that bat,
and I'm like, "I can't stir up."
-Like... -[laughing]
Nice, Robbin. Your concentration is awesome.
Put the lid on.
Here we go.
See? It's not that easy.
Almost thinking we should have chosen Plastic.
See? It's not that easy.
Okay, let me just...
Give me a break.
JOHN: This one's terrible, but...
-GREG: But we know how to do it. Yep. -JOHN: ...trial and error.
GREG: We watched the demonstration for a little bit,
but not for as long as we maybe should have.
Just got to make sure it comes down smooth is part of it.
Oh, shoot. It's stuck together.
-Ooh, that's hot. -Careful, careful.
ANDREA: Come on, pick it up.
That's a nice one.
Come on. We need this. We need this.
We're doing good so far.
-Check. -All right. Check? Check?
ASHLIE: Good?
Come on. Come on.
-Yes. -Todd and Ashlie just got theirs.
-Yeah! Ooh! -Thank you so much.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Just-just keep holding it there.
Then after we're done,
-we're gonna spit-shine it with our sweat. -[laughs]
-IAN: I think we need to start cutting some of this. -Yeah.
Do it nice and slow.
There you go. All right, let's try.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
All right, come on. Thank you.
-Good job, girl. -MORGAN: Bye, guys.
"Search for Phil on the mat." -Okay.
Okay, let's go.
CHELSEA: We got this. We got a good system.
Nice job.
VICTOR: Okay, that's good.
This is okay, here. So, we're gonna try it this way.
We're gonna use this little spatula thing to kind of help us
-get it started. -JOCELYN: Yeah, there it goes, there it goes.
-Beautiful, Gregory. -Kind of spread it out?
-JOHN: Mm-hmm. -All right, that's not too bad.
JOHN: That was our best one yet.
We're recovering. We're recovering.
MALAINA: We're gonna be rice cake professionals.
ANDREA: While we waited
for one of the stations to open up, we continuously
watched the demonstration, so I believe
-that definitely helped us. -Yeah.
-MALAINA: We can make extra. -Yeah, just make extra
'cause they're gonna knock some out.
-CHLESEA: Nice, Robbin. -That one's okay. Check?
CHELSEA: Can we get a check?
Ten, 11, 12. Good?
-Ah. -Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
-JOCELYN: Uh, the ladies got it. -I know.
That looks awesome, but it's still too thick.
ROBBIN: It feels amazing to get our clue before
teams that have been dominating this whole race thus far.
-Thank you. -Yeah.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It felt wonderful.
ASHLIE: Phil!
Todd and Ashlie, you are team number four.
-However, you are still racing. -TODD: Still racing?
-Okay. -Rip it, read it right here. -All right.
LENA: Feel good. I feel good.
We're on our way to the Pit Stop.
-Ah! -Oh, is it closed?
LENA: Okay. So the road just came to an end.
MORGAN: We're just at a dead end. That sucks.
MALAINA: Come on. We got this.
This is our chance.
It's a sprint now. It's a sprint.
VICTOR: That looks good, babe.
Good, good, good.
MALAINA: That's it. That's it, Andrea.
-Can we get a check, please? -VICTOR: Oh, man. Come on.
-Eight, nine, ten. -Eight, nine, ten, ele...
-...leven? -Eleven, 12.
-Yay! -Wow.
[shrieks] Thank you.
-They got it. -Still got Victor, Jocelyn here. -Check.
I think I'm getting a better hang of actually wrapping this
around that little bat, so,
we might be doing a little bit better than before.
LIAM: Damn, you're good, boy.
-YEREMI: Yeah, I'm a freak, bro. What can I say? -[laughs]
LIAM: We work really well
in these high-stress situations.
YEREMI: Like, we're about there. You know what I mean?
-JOE: Careful. -IAN: Okay.
[Ian laughs]
She's a beauty.
-Yes! -Yes!
Thank you.
"Travel by taxi to Truc Lam Phuong Nam Zen Monastery."
-Hi. -The mat.
Robbin and Chelsea,
-you are still racing. -CHELSEA: Yes.
-Okay. -Rip it and read it right there.
Okay.
Morgan and Lena, you are team number... six.
MORGAN: We were shocked. Our whole goal
with using the Express Pass was
we wanted it to be an advantage-gainer.
And we didn't even maintain our place.
However, you are still racing.
I have another clue for you.
Thanks, Phil.
Yes, it sucks.
We're in sixth, but we're also still racing.
This is anybody's game.
-Hey, Phil. -What's up, Phil?
Joe and Ian, you are still racing. Here's your next clue.
JOCELYN: Can we get a check, please?
VICTOR: Okay.
Oh, seriously? Seriously?
JOCELYN: Three more? Okay.
We'll just hang out here until tomorrow.
GREG: All right. Ready? He's got a check, yeah?
Yeah. All right. Check.
-JOHN: Check? -VICTOR: Oh, gosh.
Let's do it, baby.
Wow. Not good.
GREG: We're good. We're good.
-Eleven, 12. -Oh, let's go. Let's go. -VICTOR: They got it.
Oh.
-We're the last team here. -Yep.
Yay! Thank you so much! Thank you, thank you!
JOCELYN: It's over.
VICTOR: That's one. We still need two more.
JOCELYN: We're the last team out, so let's pray this is good.
VICTOR: We had won the first two legs,
and then, now it's like, Wow. Okay, definitely we're not
gonna be anywhere near the front today.
-This is the last one? -This should be the last one.
JOCELYN: Check, please. Check.
But you know, just stay positive when
it's not over till Phil says you're out.
JOCELYN: Ta da! [whoops]
VICTOR: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Yeah, thank you. -[speaking Vietnamese]
VICTOR: Let's go.
JOCELYN: Ah. It was fun while it lasted.
VICTOR: You don't know until you check in.
-How's that look? -Mm...
-All right, let's hit it, let's hit it, let's hit it. -Let's hit it.
Can we do a check?
Nice and smooth.
-Okay. Yes, dude! -Let's go.
-Let's go. Let's go. -Let's go, baby. Let's go.
-Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. -Thank you, sir.
-"Race to the Pit Stop." -"Race to the Pit Stop."
-Hey, cool. Let's go. -Let's do it. Let's go get 'em.
-Let's go get 'em. -Come on, come on.
Taxis right here. There's taxis right here.
-[speaking Vietnamese] -Okay.
LIAM: Where's the taxi at?
Taxi? It looks like a taxi.
JOCELYN: All right, babe. This might be our last run.
-There's the brothers. There's the brothers. Let's go. -Okay.
-Oh, yeah. They have a whole 'nother team here. -Okay.
VICTOR: We just saw Liam and Yeremi.
They were trying to catch a cab and they saw that we were in.
-Thank you, sir. -Let's go.
-Hop in there, baby. -Hop in there, baby.
Come on. Come on, come on.
Oh, Philip,
we looked death into the face right there.
-Let these guys in. -Hey, good job.
-Oh. -Greg and John,
Andrea and Malaina,
-you guys are still going. -GREG: All right.
-Okay. -Rip and read your clue right here.
-MALAINA: Yes. -ANDREA: Rip it.
JOCELYN: Think positive! [whoops]
VICTOR: We're positive. We're positive.
We're not in last. We just got to find this Pit Stop.
-This was a long, challenging leg. -Challenging leg.
It's gonna really put a lot of teams to the test.
Yes, and I'm... And Yeremi and I are passing that test.
Our hard work's paying off.
We're gonna hopefully jump some places
and just stop finishing in eighth place.
-[scoffs] -Yes.
Phil!
VICTOR: We finally made it.
Jocelyn and Victor, you've messed up your record.
I know. We got killed on making rice paper,
-of all things. Oh, my gosh. -JOCELYN: I know.
So embarrassing. I mean, we sell it, we eat it,
and we just never actually made this stuff.
-And now we're probably dead last. -Yeah.
Well, the good news is
you are second to last. You are tenth.
-Oh, my gosh. -Oh!
-But I have another clue for you. -VICTOR: Oh, my goodness.
So even though you are tenth to leave here,
you could still actually win.
-Get out! -Rip it and read it. Guys, come on in.
VICTOR: We won the first two legs,
but now we're second to last.
-We're still hopeful. -Yeah, Yeah, yeah, because
we see it all the time, where teams go from first to last.
Just depends on the luck of the draw.
Do you have any idea where you're at?
-No, we're-we're... We don't. -We don't.
You are dead last.
-However, you are still racing. -Okay.
Which means you have another clue.
You can rip it, read it, keep on racing.
There's no reason why you can't carry on
-and win this leg. -LIAM: Okay.
-But you got a lot of catching up to do. -Okay.
-We are dead last. -Not-not just last.
-Dead last. -Dead last.
YEREMI: It was very disappointing.
I mean, our challenges
up to that point, we felt were going really well,
and then just to get told that we were last
was just like, "Really? Dang."
-All right, let's go do it. Okay, let's go. -Let's do it, man.
YEREMI: We're still in the race,
and we have to just give it our all and really go and get it.
VICTOR: We still have a good shot at this. It's not over
till Phil says we're out.
-No, not over yet. -[chuckles]
