PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on The Amazing Race...
13 teams began a race around the world...
-Go! -Let's go, baby!
KEOGHAN: ...by land, air
and sea.
Teams faced conflict...
I don't even know what... Ugh. I don't know even know.
KEOGHAN: ...and confusion.
This one hurts my head.
KEOGHAN: They worked through their fears...
Oh, hell, no.
-MICHELLE: Babe! -N-No!
KEOGHAN: ...and their tears.
KISHORI: Karishma, you keep pushing!
KEOGHAN: They dug deep...
Breathe. You're gonna do it.
KEOGHAN: ...and gave it their all.
[groaning]
Damn, this is high.
KEOGHAN: But nine teams came up short.
Unfortunately, I do have to eliminate you.
And now only four teams remain.
Superfan Cesar wanted to live out his dream
with boyfriend Ricky.
It's happening! It's happening,
and it's The Amazing Race.
KEOGHAN: And it was everything they hoped for.
[singing]
Winning six legs and never placing lower than second,
the boyfriends have dominated the competition.
Can they continue to dominate
all the way to the $1 million prize?
We're ready to race!
KEOGHAN: Married couple Rod and Leticia
had plenty of success early.
You are team number one!
Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
KEOGHAN: And along the way,
former NFL player Rod's competitive spirit
always shined bright.
Commitment! Hard work!
KEOGHAN: But even with some failures...
I can track where we at, but where... right now?
Okay, so let's find out where we are.
KEOGHAN: ...their love and confidence never wavered.
Look at my baby running... looking so good.
KEOGHAN: Can their love lead them to a win?
You are team number two.
KEOGHAN: Juan and Shane got off to a slow start...
-Shoot. -We have to find a parking spot, man.
KEOGHAN: ...and knew they could do better.
I firmly believe that we are
a first-place team consistently
coming in the middle of the pack.
KEOGHAN: The military pilots
soared through the Mega Leg...
You are team number one.
-Yes! -Let's go! Yeah.
KEOGHAN: ...and staged an epic comeback in Barbados...
-All right, all right. -They'll lighten up.
Everybody else is still here, Shane. We got a chance.
SHANE: Let's go, baby.
KEOGHAN: ...and the pilots fly across
the finish line first.
Dating couple Amber and Vinny
knew the race would put their relationship to the test.
AMBER: We're very stubborn, both of us,
and this is really testing us.
KEOGHAN: But when the pressure took its toll...
You're making this so hard.
I'm starting to get frustrated.
Stop talking to me like that.
KEOGHAN: ...the couple always
found a way to unite.
She's a badass chick.
KEOGHAN: Will the dream team
knock out the competition
to win it all?
You have done it. You are the fourth team to arrive.
-You'll be racing in the next leg. -Yes!
-KEOGHAN: Tonight... -[whoops]
We are making a coco loco.
KEOGHAN: ...it's the final two legs,
spanning 1,400 miles across two countries.
One of these teams will win $1 million
andThe Amazing Race.
-Come on, Rod. -Aah! Aah!
The most stress I've had the entire race.
The dragon can be slayed.
Oh.
May the best team win.

CESAR: We just want to make it there, and we want to have

But the only thing that it did hurt was,
I can't do any more Roadblocks.

However, coordinating the position of the sail
while balancing on a board could put teams in deep water.
-But if they can windsurf for just 60 seconds, -Good job.

Oh, don't tell me he know how to do this, too, man.
-Come on. -Hey, I'm not saying anything.
Y'all can't do everything right.
I've never windsurfed. I've never been on a surfboard.
-Think you can do it? -Yeah.
-You want to go? -Yeah.
It's better trying on the water
than it is wasting time in practice.
Never in my life have I windsurfed before.
I've never surfed. I've only boogie-board.
So we're gonna see how this go.
I was so nervous
going into it when I realized
what we have to do,
and I have to lift this thing out the water and hold it.
I didn't know what to expect.
-Okay. -Yeah.
-Ready? -Let's go. I'm ready.

we can lap Cesar and Ricky.
And that'll be huge for morale,
and we'll secure our place in the final.

Got to enjoy it, not be upset.
I think this is something that I've learned,
actually, recently with this whole race is,
if he's not in a good place,
then we're not gonna be in a good place.
So I need to be that for him.

LETICIA: It felt so good.
ROD: And it's a statement.
Ricky and Cesar's been kind of killing it lately,
and we needed to knock 'em off.
You will be one of the three teams that will be
-racing in the final leg. -Yeah, baby! -We're in the Super Bowl.
-We're in the Super Bowl, baby. -KEOGHAN: And more good news.
You have won Expedia OneKeyCash
that you can use for a five-night trip for two.
-Where we going? -Rome, Italy.
Expedia experts are gonna design a unique local experience
with a pasta and tiramisu cooking class,
a Colosseum and Forum tour,
Castel Gandolfo wine tasting experience

KEOGHAN: Juan and Shane, let's go!
-Let's go! -You are team number two!
We love number two. Heck yeah.
That means you will be one of the three teams
that will be racing in the final leg
-of this race to the finish line. -[whoops]
-You've got a shot at that $1 million prize. -Let's freaking go, baby.
Yeah, baby!
CESAR: Kayak pickup. Let's go, let's go, let's go...
Huh? Let's go...
Really?
-VINNY: Baby, let's go, Amber. -We got this, babe.
Whoa.
Come on, come on, come on.

AMBER: Let's go, babe. [whoops]
KEOGHAN: There you are. You've made it.

This was a tough leg.
-Tough. -You guys did not take your foot off the gas.
You are the third team to arrive.
You will be one of the three teams that will
be racing to the finish line for $1 million.
And today, you can see how close it got.
RICKY: It was so close today.
KEOGHAN: So close.
-Guys, well done. -RICKY: Thank you.
-We're coming. -KEOGHAN: I see you.
Um, so close.
But, um, Amber and Vinny, I'm sorry to tell you
that you have been eliminated from the race.
It's been an amazing journey, once in a lifetime opportunity.
VINNY: We learned a lot about each other.
He's got, like, the biggest heart... [chuckles]
[sniffles] ...of anyone I know.
The feelings I have for Amber are unmatched.
All my faults and all my struggles
and traumas that I have, that I still work through today--
uh, she's accepted them.
And that solidifies a lot of things, babe.
-No. -[sniffles]

I might not be going home with a million dollars,

It's the end of this race, baby, but it's not the end of ours.
AMBER: We grew tremendously from actually doing the race.
So, starting this life journey together--
it's all that really matters.
VINNY: The main things that we wanted out of this race
was the exposure of environments and levels of stress
that you really can't simulate,
and the opportunities
to really show how are we gonna respond
in those moments.
So, we've gotten everything
we could have ever asked for on this race,
-and she definitely got a little extra something-something. -[laughs]

-You are the final three. -[whooping, cheering]
You are going to the final destination.

We are going to the City of Brotherly Love:
-Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. -Yeah. -[cheering]

CESAR: Lock the car.
Roadblock.
"Who's got team spirit?"
Every city likes to think
that they have the biggest sports fans,
but the fans here in Philly--
they think they're a cut above the rest.
And the number one fans for all teams are their mascots.
Nobody is more likable, sassy,
supportive or entertaining.
This Roadblock requires one team member
to become anAmazing Race mascot
and then run a mascot training drill where
they must maneuver through an obstacle course
and hit a target with a T-shirt cannon.
If they can successfully complete this gauntlet
with the aid of Gritty, Phanatic or Swoop,
they'll get a clue.

-Okay. -Come on, Ricky. Come on. Ooh.
RICKY: When I saw the mascots, I was kind of excited.
I had been the mascot
for my high school a couple of times,
so I've been in those type of costumes before.
They're hard to maneuver around.
You got this giant head, your vision's obscured.

-"Find your next clue between Pat's and Geno's." -Okay.
This is the cheesesteak epicenter of the world,
where perhaps you'll find the biggest food rivalry
on the planet.
Locals have their favorites, but the cheesesteaks
made here at Pat's and Geno's are so good,
you'd be a fool not to savor them both.
This is where teams will pick up their next clue.
Great job, Ricky. Great job.

SHANE: So these are two pizza places for sure, yeah?
Okay. Okay. Pat's Pizza.

"Recite the preamble to the Declaration of Independence
from memory to receive your next clue."
KEOGHAN: This is the Declaration of Independence...
"We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal."
KEOGHAN: ...which was approved here
in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776.
Teams need to memorize and recite the preamble
to America's oldest document
to the satisfaction of a town crier.
Okay, got it. Let's go.
SHANE: Are we going south right now?
We're going... No, we're going north right now.
-We're going north right now? -Yeah.
This doesn't really make sense, does it?
Bro, we're in New Jersey.
-Oh, don't tell me that. -Yeah.
SHANE: I thought it was Pat's Steakhouse, bro.
JUAN: Pizza, pasta. Okay, all right.
Let me... Let's go around just to be sure.
Did you click "pizza" or did you click the steakhouse?
-I clicked "pizza." -Oh.
Let's go get... let's go get directions.
It's Pat's Steakhouse.
JUAN: Let's give it a shot.
SHANE: Hey, sir, we're trying to find Pat and Geno's.
JUAN: We screwed up.
We are way further from where we need to be.
It hit me pretty hard because I feel like,
as the driver, I really should have caught
that we were crossing state lines.
It's not looking good, but such is the race.
JUAN: We were just rushing and we made a mistake.
Oh...
RICKY: Okay. "One of you will recite the lines in red,
and the other will recite the ones in black."
-Can I do the red? -Yeah.
Wow, this is really long.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal."
The first line
everybody knows, you know, but
the rest of it, I was like, "Oh, God, I don't know any of it."
"...deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed..."
This is gonna be really hard.
Okay.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
-LETICIA: Right here. Okay. -"Recite the Decl..."
LETICIA: "One of you may recite the lines in red.
The other one recite the lines in black."
We see Rod and Leticia arriving,
and now, it's just more pressure.
And I'm like, "Oh, my God.
-Like, let me just try to get this." -Yeah.
Okay, just put it on the floor and let's...
-You read your part, I'll read mine. -Okay. Okay.
-Which one you want to do-- black or red? -Red.
LETICIA: Ricky and Cesar were still there,
and they were just starting, so we thought,
"Well, hey, we're still neck-to-neck.
We're in the fight."
CESAR: I'm just struggling.
English is my second language.
Like, it's been super helpful
through all the other countries,
but now, I have to, like, switch,
and it was just, like, so much stress,
'cause we know we're on the final leg.
-I... I'm having trouble... -Okay, talk it out loud.
-Get it in your body and act it out. -Okay.
-LETICIA: You want to try? -Hold on.
LETICIA: Okay.
"...laying its foundation on the principles..."
LETICIA: "On such principles."
ROD: "...laying its foundation on such principles."
Come on. You got this. You got this. Just keep reading it.
-God dang it, this part is crazy. -Just keep reading it.
-[Rod groans] -Memorizing words seems to be
harder than we thought. [laughs]
I kind of got my part down,
but Rod is struggling right now to get his part.
He's not a words guy, but I can see
Ricky and Cesar are still here,
so they may be struggling just as well, so...
That's a good thing for us right now.
I don't know where the pilot boys are,
but I hope they're lost.
SHANE: Now we're, uh, back on track.
We're heading to Pat and Geno's now
after our journey to, uh, New Jersey.
-Thank you so much. -WOMAN: Thank you.
JUAN: We're here now. We got to keep moving.
SHANE: Yeah, we're heading back to the city,
getting back in the game.
-CESAR: Should we try? -RICKY: Yeah.
-Do you want to try? -Yeah? Yeah, let's go.
-Come on. -LETICIA: Ooh.
-CESAR: Okay. -LETICIA: Ah. Oh, God.
-MAN: Let's hear what you have to say. -RICKY: All right.
Okay. "We hold these truths to be self-evident,

Okay, um, we're almost there.

"Drive to Paterson, New Jersey." All right, here we go.

[inhales sharply] "As to them shall seem
to affect their Safety and Happiness."
-Nay. -ROD: Damn it.
-"Most likely to effect." -"Most likely."
My memory is not that good at this point in time in my life.
You know? I had too many concussions.
I got to blame it on something.
"Organizing its powers...
and just form"?
-Nay. -You'll get it. -Come on, babe.
Damn, man! What am I doing?!
-Yeah, 'cause we're in between those two streets. -Yeah.

CESAR: Come on, come on, come on.
-Okay. It's a Roadblock. -Roadblock.
Okay. "Who wants to earn their stripes?"
Teams are about to get a history lesson
from three of America's historic figures.
After listening to a lecture from each of them,
they must figure out how to piece together
America's first official flag.
The first 13 states must be placed top-to-bottom
in the order they were ratified,
alongside 13 five-point stars.
Once it's ready to be run up the flagpole...
That is correct.
KEOGHAN: ...they'll get a clue.
I'll do it. "Properly assemble
the first flag of the United States of America."
So should I just go in first?
This is the marked entrance.
The colonies are listed from top to bottom
in the order in which they became states.
The first colony to be ratified is Delaware, of course.
Virginia is the tenth to be ratified,
right after New Hampshire.
CESAR: This one was a memory challenge. It was like a puzzle.
I have to go inside the house
and start listening for clues.
On a map, North Carolina is above South Carolina,
but on the flag, it sits four stripes below South Carolina.
I grew up in Mexico, so I didn't get,
like, really American story,
so this is a little hard, because I'm pretty sure, like,
if I would have known a little ahead of time,
like, it would have helped.
"Laying its foundation on the principles
and organizing its powers... at..."
Oh, man. Baby, please help me, man.
-I know, I want to help you. -I know. I just can't...
I don't know how I keep getting stuck
right there when I start talking out loud.
Damn! This can't be this hard, man!
-Let me just... Give me a second. Let me walk it off. -Just read it to yourself
-20 times. -Let me walk it off.
"And to institute new Government,
laying its foundation on such principles..."
LETICIA: Just read it. Just take your time.
-Just take your time. -Why's this so hard?
I feel defeated 'cause I can't just...
-'Cause of these little silly words. -You got it.
Just take your time. Just take your time.
Okay, I'm ready.
-I'm ready, dang it, I'm ready. -Okay, let's go.
-Okay. -I'm ready.
"And organizing its powers in such form,
"as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
-LETICIA: Tell us some good news. -Yea.
Yes!
Hip, hip, huzzah to you.
Let's get out of here. We got to catch them boys.
Million dollars on the line, anything can happen.
-SHANE: Oh. -Oh, look it's right on Leticia.
SHANE: Go get them!
-LETICIA: You guys got it. -Go get 'em.
-JUAN: All right, see you guys. -This way, this way, this way.
Hopefully, it takes them just as long, but I don't know.
-Oh. -You want red or black?
-I'll take red. -Okay.
SHANE: Oh, dude, this is gonna be tough for me, bro.
In addition, there are 13 stripes
on the flag that alternate red and white.
Each stripe represents a different colony
in the order they are ratified into states.
CESAR: It was a lot of information,
but, like, halfway information
'cause it wasn't the whole order at once.
The fourth stripe on the flag represents Georgia in the south,
followed by Connecticut up north,
referred to as the Constitution State.
It's-it's a lot, and some things were just, like,
clues or hints.
North Carolina, South Carolina.
Okay. I'll be back.
I'm missing two states.
-Okay, let's try it. -All right, let's go.
"Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive
"to these ends, it is the Right of the People
to alter or abolish it."
Bro, really?
Wow. Okay. Um...
[sighs]
Think I'm gonna need another one.
Okay, that's fine. Well, sir,
-we're gonna try it again. -Nay.
[laughs] Thank you.
Okay, now I have six and seven.
Hopefully, I heard right.
Now I can start focusing on the stars.
George Washington visited me
and asked for 13 six-pointed stars,
but we ultimately settled on my suggestion of five points.
The stars formed a circle on the blue portion of the flag.
Thank you.
There's five, six, and seven-pointed stars.
I need the five-point stars.
Ten, 11, 12, 13.
Five-pointed stars, 13 of them, making a circle.
Oh, my God.
Looks like he's finished the flag.
CESAR: Can you check, please?
That is correct.
-RICKY: Yes! -Yes! Yes!
-Here's your clue. -Thank you very much! -Route Info.
CESAR: "Run to the Arch Street"
BOTH: "...Meeting House to find your next clue."
Okay, let's go.
Damn, they've done it already. Come on.
-RICKY: Excuse me. -CESAR: Hi. Can you help us?
RICKY: Would you mind helping us?
-We're trying to find directions. -You have a phone?
-We just need directions. -Sure.
-ROD: Roadblock. -LETICIA: I got this.
CESAR: We're one block away. I think we're close by.
On a map, North Carolina is above South Carolina...
...is above South Carolina.
This first colony to be ratified is Delaware, of course.
Delaware, of course.
The state you are standing in now is second
and is where our Constitution was written and signed.
[echoing]: ...and signed. And signed.
What state am I in right now?
"...form, as to them shall seem most likely
to effect their Safety and Happiness."
-All right. -It is a yea.
-Oh, yes! -And a proper hip, hip huzzah to both of you.
Thank you so much.
SHANE: "Drive yourselves to the Betsy Ross House
-to find your next clue." -JUAN: All right, let's do it.
-CESAR: Marked entrance. -There's a flag. Yes.
-On your left. -CESAR: Come on, come on!
Clue box. Come on, come on, come on.
"Solve a three-dimensional Liberty Bell puzzle
-to receive your final clue." -Oh, my God.
KEOGHAN: In 1776,
the Liberty Bell was heard across the city of Philadelphia,
proclaiming America's independence from Great Britain.
Today, the bell is a giant puzzle.
If teams can figure out how to piece together
this treasured icon, they'll be rewarded with a clue.
-Okay. -Okay. "Choose a workstation."
RICKY: It's in the big, giant boxes.
CESAR: Go, go, go.
We have to build this 3D puzzle of the Liberty Bell.
-RICKY: Yeah. -Okay, here?
-Oh, my God. -Whoa.
CESAR: But opening up the box was a little intimidating...
RICKY: What?!
CESAR: ...'cause we had so many pieces.
-This is an edge. -This is the bottom, I think.
That matches with that, Ricky, maybe.
George Washington visited me and asked for 13
six-pointed stars to represent each of the original colonies.
But we ultimately settled on my suggestion of five points.
ROD: I'm hoping and praying that, uh,
she got this right, right now.
Uh, I don't. Don't...
It's not happening yet, trust me.
-Roadblock. -Okay.
JUAN: Riddles and, like, memory stuff is, like, that's my thing.
We still... we still in second place right now.
Oh, here it is.
Maryland is the seventh, just after Massachusetts.
JUAN: You know, we're behind right now.
We're in last place, but this is really, really exciting.
It's honestly a privilege to be able
to put the original American flag together.
This is where we catch up.
Like, I was determined.
There was something ahead of me,
and it's that seemed to be somewhat puzzlesque.
And I said, "If I can figure this out
with my head, then we're golden."
ROD: Let's get it going, baby. You're looking good.
LETICIA: Ugh!
RICKY: Here's the crack. Okay.
-The base is done. -CESAR: Okay, wait.
-So now we have to fill those spots? -Any more three rings?
We have to fill that spot as well.
-Oh, inside? -Yes.
Look, we have all those, like, little chunks,
-so maybe let's move this aside. -Okay.
Oh, my God. Why am I struggling so much?
General George Washington visited me
and asked for 13 six-pointed stars,
but I suggested five-pointed stars for efficiency.
Ugh.
Trying to go back to the five stars.
I thought I had everything right, too.
Okay.
-Check? -No.
LETICIA: I knew all the states were correct in the order.
It's, like, what in the world could it be?
God dog it, what is it?
JAUN: Check. Please.
Yes. That is correct.
-I got it, Shane! -SHANE: That's it, Juan.
-I freaking got it, dude. Thank you so much. -SHANE: That's it, baby.
-Here's your clue. -Thank you.
[Shane whoops]
JUAN: Uh, Route Info.
"Run to the Arch Street Meeting House
-to find your next clue." We're on Arch Street. -Run.
We're, like, on top of Arch Street, bro.
ROD: Come on, baby. We got to go.
LETICIA: It definitely was frustrating
that Juan and Shane came in there,
and I feel like he knocked that out so fast.
And I was like, "How did you do that?"
ROD: Come on, man. Come on!
If you think you have what it takes
to win The Amazing Race,
go to cbs.com/casting and apply now.
BETSY ROSS: General George Washington
visited me and asked for 13 six-pointed stars,
but we ultimately settled on my suggestion of five points.
LETICIA: She kept saying, "I chose a five-point star."
And finally it dinged on me, like, "Oh, my gosh.
"Count the points of the star,
because they're clearly not the same."
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
ROD: Come on, baby. You got this, beautiful.
LETICIA: Check.
LETICIA: Come on.
-That is correct. -ROD: Good job, babe.
-Good job, good job. -Your clue.
Come on, come on.
-Ah. -Oh, man.
RICKY: We need a smaller one.
CESAR: Oh. You might have it in your hand.
RICKY: Oh, you...
[giggles, grunts]
CESAR: Sorting everything at the beginning
and taking the little extra time
to actually put them aside
was really helpful.
And also, we were communicating pretty well.
Here. And then I have this one.
-And then what do we have to do? -We have to hang it.
CESAR: Ready to move it?
Wait, so we have to line it up first,
-then push it through. -Oh, got it. Okay, okay.
-One, two, three. -You got it, then?
Careful, careful.
-RICKY: Right there. -CESAR: Good?
-Check, please. Check, check, check. -Check.
How's it look?
[Cesar sighs]
Everything is in place.
Let's just see.
RICKY: Okay. Okay.
Good job!
-Yes! -Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And I have something for you.
-Your next clue. -Thank you so much. -Thank you very much.
-Good job. -Thank you so much.
BOTH: "Race to the finish line."
KEOGHAN: The most famous person to cross the Delaware River
was George Washington.
And here on the banks of this 330-mile river
is Glen Foerd estate.
This historic home will now serve as the finish line.
The first team to arrive at this grand mansion
will win $1 million andThe Amazing Race.
-Oh, my God! Ricky! -Come on.
CESAR: Let's go, go, go!
JUAN: Let's go.
"Solve a Liberty Bell puzzle to receive your final clue."
JUAN: Oh. Okay.
SHANE: Once I read "Liberty Bell puzzle,"
I was like, "Oh, here we go. Juan, you're up again, buddy."
-Okay. Okay. -Look for all these bottom pieces.
SHANE: And then we laid all the pieces out,
and Juan started going to work, and-and we were rolling.
ROD: Let's go, baby. Go in there.
SHANE: We are recreating the Liberty Bell
out of this puzzle,
and just so happens that Juan is good at puzzles.
As you can see, exhibit last route marker.
Rod and Leticia are here.
JUAN: We're good.
I think that goes there. Yeah.
So the middle isn't... is not hollowed out.
All the pieces need to be used,
and, uh, there's definitely inner pieces.
So I hope that trips up Rod and Leticia a little bit.
LETICIA: "Use all provided parts and pieces.
"When you think you completed it, hang it on the yoke
and ask the community leader to check your work."
So it's kind of like Tetris.
RICKY: We're trying to get to Glen Foerd estate.
CESAR: Going that way?
RICKY: Yeah, we're going up past...
CESAR: Ready? Ready, Ricky? You got it? You got it, Ricky?
-We're good? -Thank you so much. -Good luck.
-Thank you. -Thank you so much. Thank you...
Let's go, Ricky. Come on, come on.
Oh, my God.
Yeah. We need to go. Let's do this.
The final Pit Stop says,
"Go! Go! Go!"
JUAN: Ooh, I like that. I like that.
SHANE: We're close.
So we need... we need writing on the outside.
Yeah, here. It's right here.
-SHANE: Is that good? -Sweet.
-SHANE: Here's-here's, uh... -I feel like we're really close.
-LETICIA: Oh, man. -Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Dang it. I can't figure this out neither.
There it goes. Go ahead. Go ahead.
-This guy? -Yeah.
JUAN: All right, we're done. We have to hang it on that stand.
SHANE: All right. Make it look pretty, Juan.
Oh, here we go. Yeah, "land of the free."
Lift it.
Let me...
Sweet. Can we get a check?
-Good job! -Thank you. -Yes!
Oh, and I've got your clue.
-SHANE: Awesome. Thank you so much. -Hell yeah.
-Glen Foerd estate. Let's go. -Let's go, baby.
ROD: We got to catch up. We got to beat 'em. Come on.
Come from the top.
[groans]
I don't know that there's an entrance to 95 up here.
-CESAR: 95? -Yeah.
Oh, my God. I don't know where I put all the directions. Here.
RICKY: I don't know how to get on to 95.
CESAR: I feel really nervous
-and I feel like you're getting the pressure. -I am.
It's really frustrating because I know the area.
CESAR: That's when we can make mistakes.
Here. There's a hotel right straight.
Let's get them printing a direction.
RICKY: I just... [groans]
So, we're on our way to the last Pit Stop of the race.
So we're feeling pretty good.
Don't, uh, don't necessarily know where Ricky and Cesar are.
We're gonna do whatever we can to run our race,
'cause that's what we tried to do from day one.
-SHANE: There's still money on the line here, so... -Yeah.
-CESAR: Hi. -RICKY: Excuse me.
Hi. We're looking for the entrance to 95 North.
-95 North? -RICKY: 95 North. Yeah.
-This way two blocks? Left? -So once you're at the light, make a left. Two blocks.
RICKY: Okay, great. Thank you, Steven,
-so much. -Thank you very much.
Let's go. Come on, come on, come on, come on.
JUAN: Glen Foerd. Glen Foerd. I just saw the, uh, a sign.
To go this way? It said Glen Foerd this way?
-Yeah, to go this way. Yep. -Okay.
Okay. We should be close.
Really? Checking your hair?
[chuckles]
You were just checking your hair?
RICKY: Yeah, I was.
-Straight ahead. -Go, go, go.
-JUAN: Glen Foerd. You see it? -Yeah.
JUAN: Yeah, that's it. That's it.
[all cheering]
-RICKY: Come on. -Let's go.
[excited chatter]
BOTH: One, two, three!
Aah!
Ricky and Cesar,
eight countries...
...14 cities,
11,711 miles.
I am pleased to tell you that you are
the official winners of Amazing Race.
You have won the $1 million prize.
I love you so much.
[cheering continuing]
KEOGHAN: This finish right here
is their seventh first-place finish.
I'm in disbelief. Just the fact that
this sets up the foundation
of what our life is gonna be.
You are truly my best friend,
and I love you so much,
and I'm so happy that we shared this together.
So what is the future with the two of you?
Building a family and going through the process
of adoption is really hard, and it's really expensive.
So thankfully, with this, we can start building that.
RICKY: I feel extremely proud of us.
Winning seven legs of The Amazing Race
is just an incredible feat. [chuckles]
CESAR: It was truly a gift, every single leg.
And just being able to perform this well
-is just... -Just the cherry on top.
-[exclaims] -[cheering, applause]
Yeah, let's go!
Juan and Shane, I am pleased to tell you
that you are the second team to arrive. Congratulations.
[cheering]
A very competitive season.
It's a blessing.
It's a blessing straight from God.
This has been an incredible experience.
SHANE: Phil, I wouldn't change a single thing about this race.
-Going up against these guys, and everybody, for that matter. -Dude, just studs.
-Every day. -[laughs]
It was just such a blast.
JUAN: Like, this is not an easy thing to do.
What you're not realizing is, if you want
to go to another state, nobody's gonna stop you.
Like, you can get in the car and you go.
KEOGHAN: Congratulations. You are the only team
in Amazing Racehistory,
I believe, who's come to the finish line
and seen two states.
-[cheering] -Don't-don't clap at that.
SHANE: We came on the race together,
and were able to compete at the level that we did.
JUAN: We left it all on the field every time.
I think that's exactly what we came here to do,
and I think that's exactly what we did do.
-Everybody will remember this. -[chuckles] Yeah, exactly.
Juan and Shane, first-place losers.
[both laughing]
Check.
-Good job! -Oh, thank you, Lord.
-Get us out of here, man. -Here is your clue.
Oh, man, I'm sorry, I kept y'all out here so long.
Hey, man, we here, baby!
[all cheering]
Congratulations. You are the third team to arrive.
You guys have smiled through this race.
-You've laughed through this race. -We have.
You've been competitive through this race.
What's the key? Give advice to everybody who wants this kind
-of relationship. -To me, I would say the biggest key
to a relationship and to marriage is forgive.
-Yes. -Always. Quickly.
ROD: Apologize.
You're a team, no matter what.
I always tell my daughter to conquer her fears,
and I believe in leading by example,
so I conquered mine.
And I know they're gonna be proud watching that.
ROD: Man, let me tell you something.
With Amazing Race, we can say that it has taught us
-not to give up, not to give up on each other. Don't quit. -Mm-hmm.
ROD: So I think that's been the greatest thing for us.
Even though today probably was our roughest leg,
-I had the most fun with him. -[cheering]
-We've definitely come a long way since the first leg. -ROD: Yes.
I had to put that pride and ego aside
and just keep fighting every leg, so,
I think we did a great job.
SHANE: We do live on opposite sides of the country.
And we are as inseparable as you can possibly get.
Being able to go on here and share, you know,
every waking moment is probably not ideal,
but honestly, I thought it was really fun.
So I think this is exactly what we set out to do
and we accomplished it.
RICKY: It just means so much to have
experienced this and to learn so much about our relationship
and be able to take what we've learned here
and apply it to real life.
I just look forward to sharing my life with you
and getting to do more crazy adventures like this.
