PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously onThe Amazing Race,
five teams continued racing through Corsica, France.
Lulu and Lala got off to a queasy start.
LALA: I do not like
cheese.
And then the cheese had maggots?
LULU: Yeah.
[retching]
KEOGHAN: At the detour,
two teams were stuck...
BOTH: No?
NATALIA: Let's walk away, come on, go.
ARUN: We suck.
...while Ryan and Dusty were sunk.
[both straining]
Penn sewed up the Roadblock...
Okay? Yes!
...on the way to a second win in a row.
Kim and Penn, you are team number one.
Yes!
KEOGHAN: Again.
Meanwhile, a footrace to the mat...
Come on, Nat, you got this.
-You're team number four. -BOTH: Yes.
...ended in smiles for everyone.
The good news is, this is a non-elimination leg.
-[cheering] -Trying to rack my brain
as to whether, in Amazing Racehistory,
one team has been given so many chances.
ARUN: We are a cat with nine lives.
All teams are now leaving the French island of Corsica
and will be heading east
across Italy to Greece,
the southernmost country in Europe.
After touching down in Thessaloníki,
teams will stagger-start from Peraia Beach
in one of these self-drive cars.
Kim and Penn and Raquel and Cayla
will be the first to depart.
PENN: "Welcome to Greece.
Drive yourself to the Konstantinos Olive Grove..."
"In the countryside, near the village of Nea Gonia."
BOTH: "Search among the olive trees for your next clue."
Let's go, come on.
Girls are fast.
KIM: I think we've done well, but I don't want to think
about the wins at this point because
that's a lot of pressure, and at the end of the day,
-you just want to see the next day. -PENN: Yeah.
That's what our goal is today.
-Stick shift? -Yeah.
Great.
-Whoo, baby, stick. -You got it.
You got this.
I mean, I'm really proud of us.
I think we're doing really well as a team.
CAYLA: We want to win a leg so bad.
RAQUEL: To prove it to ourselves that we can do it, to prove it
to ourselves that we're just as good as all the other teams.
-Look at me, look at me go. -Okay, so, okay...
RAQUEL: I'm driving stick!
-Well, maybe today's our day. -Yeah, I hope so.
[engine straining]
Beautiful.
-I'm on a hill. -Hey, you're fine.
-You're fine. -[engine straining]
Okay.
[engine sputters]
-Good job, beautiful. -[whoops]
♪
All righty.
Go time, baby, where we heading?
"Konstantinos Olive Grove in the courtside,
near the village of Nea Gonia."
We're driving, baby, we're driving.
So, we find ourselves on a beautiful beach
in Greece this lovely morning.
I mean, we were hoping last leg to get into the first group.
Um, we didn't, but I think
that Greece is going to provide an opportunity
for us to move and shake.
LALA: This gonna be good.
-We're cruising there together, right? -Yeah.
DUSTY: And so we just need to take advantage of our skill sets.
Ready?
-We are in group two. -We are... two.
LULU: I feel like it's gonna be like a goofy, adventurous type of day.
-Hopefully you stay like that and you don't snap at me. -Hopefully.
This leg of the race, we're gonna be patient,
slow and steady, and we're gonna have fun.
F-U-N.
-PENN: This? -KIM: Yeah.
-PENN: Left? -KIM: Yeah.
Yeah, they got a little race flag, that's it.
PENN: Okay.
All right, guys, this is pretty.
We're looking for a clue.
We're looking for red and yellow in the middle of an olive grove
with no real specifics.
CAYLA: Do we need to go through the...?
Right there, I got it.
[exclaims]
Yep, got a clue.
It's a little high up there.
[chuckles] Route Info.
"Drive to Marianna's in Nea Gonia
to find your next cl-clue." We're on our way to Nea Gonia.
-Let's go, come on. -Let's go.
Let's go back to where they just were.
-Were there multiple? -Well, no, I think...
-Here-Here's another one. -Okay.
-Cayla, right here. -You got it?
-Yep, found it. -Okay, perfect.
Can you get up there?
-Oh... -Wing me, throw me.
Here, here, put me on your shoulders,
put me on your shoulders. [laughs]
[laughing]: I don't think I'm strong...
-You can't. -Stop, you know you're...
Here, get on me, then.
Get on me, though, I'm dead serious.
You cannot squat me.
I don't feel safe. Oh, my God, hold on.
Oh, my God.
-You got it? -You're a ... animal.
-Got it? -Yeah, I hit your head.
-Oh, sorry. -Oh, no.
How did you do that?
Okay, let's go, come on, come on, come on.
NATALIA: "Search among the olive trees
for your next clue."
We are leaving in the last place today.
We are 30 minutes behind the first team.
NATALIA: We made up time before and stayed in the race,
so we're just gonna stay optimistic.
Today, it looks like, might be some self-driving,
which is not our greatest strength.
[engine starts, grinds]
There's five teams left, and we're so close,
it's just within arm's reach.
Again, we can't make any mistakes today.
ARUN: I haven't used manual transmission since
last time I was on the race.
We really had a disastrous night.
That's how we got eliminated.
DUSTY: Let's split this up.
LULU: No, let's stay together.
If you find it, you yell, we'll yell, right?
LALA: Yeah, okay, deal.
We'll find it, guys.
LULU: "Once you're there,
among the olive trees."
Maybe it's on the...
I got one.
-DUSTY: You got it? -LULU: Yeah.
-RYAN: What'd it look like? -LULU: It's on the tree.
Look-- just look for a ladder.
-DUSTY: There's one. -RYAN: Yeah, good job, girls.
[grunts]
Ryan, jump up there, dude, I can't jump.
[grunts]
-RYAN: Good job. -Let's go.
-It says parking here. -KIM: Yeah.
CAYLA: Oh, Marianna's.
It says Marianna's right here.
Oh, guys, over here.
Roadblock.
BOTH: "Who likes to wrap?"
My wife loves to wrap.
-I'll do it. -Okay.
-I believe in you.
Looking out across Marianna's vineyard,
you could assume that this is wine country.
However, Marianna's vines are grown for their leaves.
Wrapping food in grape leaves is believed to date back
to Alexander the Great, and today
they are an essential ingredient in Greek cuisine,
offering a myriad of nutritional goodness.
To wrap up this Roadblock, teams need to use a mixture of rice,
vegetables, spices, and grape leaves to prepare 60 dolmades.
When Marianna approves, she'll hand over a clue.
PENN: I'm so glad I'm not doing this.
Oh, it smells so good up here.
[moaning]
Yeah.
You got this, babe.
RAQUEL: So, you had to wrap dolmades.
You had to take the leaf
and just a small amount of this rice mixture
and then wrap it a certain way and then
align it on the tray.
KIM: Okay, 60,
and this will be the plated example.
Okay, I think we go for it.
I'm so excited.
My best friend is Greek,
and she makes these for me when I visit her.
I've never joined her in making them,
and now I'm regretting that.
Oh, my God, I love eating these.
They're one of my favorites.
The closest thing I've done to this is swaddling a baby.
Babe, I'm just down here loving you.
RAQUEL: Thank you, Penn.
[laughing]: That was Raquel.
I'm loving you, too.
-I love you, Kim. -KIM: Love you, too, babe.
[Cayla laughs]
NATALIA: "Search among the olive trees for..."
Olive trees is this way, Natalia.
This way.
-We can look at both. -[groans]
Nat!
Just be systematic, okay?
There!
NATALIA: Oh, wow.
Okay.
Here, here.
Here, go up the ladder.
-Correct? -NATALIA: All right.
DUSTY: Right there.
Parking. There's a car, there's our cars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
In here, park in here.
RYAN: Clue box is over here.
BOTH: "Who likes to wrap?"
Who's wrapping? Dusty.
All right, I'll wrap.
KIM: Hey, friend.
Ooh, food, yay.
I know.
When I opened the Roadblock,
I had a pretty good figure
it was gonna be rolling dolmas,
I believe, is what they're called.
I've rolled a lot of burritos.
It's just a-- it's just a leaf burrito,
so we're gonna give it hell.
When I was watching the example, it was very important
that you had to put the veins up,
so when you rolled the product, you had a good-looking product.
Yeah, 'cause I'm a big proponent of:
you eat with your eyes first.
I've never rolled anything like this before.
Honestly, the technique is to just be patient.
We're not that far behind.
This is where my Colorado extracurricular activities
are gonna come into play.
After this next one, I'm gonna stop and count.
So, I got through about half of them,
and I was like, "Let me peek at the demonstration
one more time," and that's when I walked over
and I looked at the finished product
and I noticed that the veins of the leaves were on the inside,
and about half of them I had wrapped...
-Ooh, on the outside. -...on the outside.
So I took all those off
and started over.
I wasn't paying attention
to which way the veins were going.
We see all the other teams are here,
so we have time to catch up.
-Roadblock. -Mm.
"Who likes to wrap?" You. It's food.
-I'll do it. -Okay, you're gonna do it.
I am in the restaurant business.
I'm used to wrapping sandwiches.
I've done this several times,
so this would be something I would be able
to do faster than Natalia.
Hello, hello.
I'm trying to see which side of the leaf she is putting
and things like that.
Okay. Thank you.
-I want to eat them. -[laughs]
-They're so good. -Is this 60?
Yes.
Oof.
It's a lot I have to redo.
I thought I was doing such a great job.
I was so surprised when I went up to have it checked
that she took half of mine off
the plate.
Something's not right.
They're beautiful. They're beautiful, aren't they?
No. Okay.
-Oh. Okay. I need to... I need to arrange them. -Yeah.
KIM: I've discovered that I had them presented wrong.
I did not have them
in the three rows of 20. I kind of had 'em
in my own special way,
and Marianna does not like that.
Miss Marianna's a little picky.
KIM: Okay. Ma'am?
They're good?
Good enough. Good... I'll take good enough.
-This for you. -Thank you.
Good job, guys. She's super picky.
Oh, good job.
"Drive to the beach in Heraklea
and search for Mamo's Kantina Stand."
This is souvlaki,
which is perhaps the most famous fast food here in Greece,
dating back more than 4,000 years.
Teams need to pick one up at Mamo's,
but first they have to spell it
and then look out for a clue
that's hidden inside the wrapper.
KIM: I hope it's ouzo.
Check, please. I'm feeling good about 'em.
I'm gonna be putting some Greek food
on my bed and breakfast menu after she approves these.
I got 60 on. They look beautiful.
I'm ready to munch one when she says I'm good.
Okay.
[whoops]
Yeah, baby! Moving time. Let's get it.
Fortunately for all the Greek gods above
that looked down on their child Greek boy here,
I was able to get it done, and I was ecstatic.
Half of Greece knew I was ecstatic
when I finished this Roadblock.
Two claps and a Ric Flair!
That was a lot, though. See, now I'm gonna come back
-to my Zen where I was this morning. -Yeah, that was a lot.
That was a lot.
Yes!
He's so quiet.
Dusty and Ryan just left,
so this is taking me a little longer than it should.
DUSTY: When I looked over at
Raquel rolling her leaves, um, she had her stems facing down,
so when she rolled them, they were up.
You have to pull it towards you
and then fold the ends in and roll it.
RAQUEL: Not same. Okay.
I'm so sorry, Cay. I keep doing it.
I don't know what I'm not doing right.
-CAYLA: You're fine. -I have to redo a bunch more.
-CAYLA: What's that? -I have to redo a bunch more.
It's okay. Proud of you, Raquel.
You got it. You're fine.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
All right, here goes nothing.
Okay. It's okay.
-Good job. Yeah. -Yes!
Thank you.
-Good luck. -Thank you.
Thank you. Yeah, Lulu!
Lulu and Lala just left.
Come on, Lan. Let's go, let's go, let's go, Lan.
-NATALIA: You got this, Dad! -Stay focused.
Do it for Mom, Dad!
Mom. I am doing it for myself.
Okay, you do it for yourself. [laughs]
He's like, "I'm doing it for myself."
Yes! Yes!
-Thank you. Thank you. -Good luck.
I'm obviously doing not great on this challenge.
-You got the keys, correct? -Yup, I got the keys.
I think something about, like,
the leaves, the way the leaves need to be.
So I'm just gonna do the exact technique that she did.
ARUN: We arrived at the fifth position,
and we are leaving in fourth position.
We have made up a lot of time,
so that's just really...
I feel good about that.
It really is very confusing
as to what exactly she's looking for.
Doesn't make any sense to me, to be honest.
I'm doing the best I can,
and I'm trying not to get frustrated.
How many do I have?
One, two, three, four, five.
I've realized my mistake. The stems I had on the outside.
And now I'm making sure that the stems are in the inside.
-Good job. -Thank you.
I think my biggest fear
on this race is losing because I did something wrong.
And if I just took a step back and focus on the details,
it can be the difference
of coming in first or coming in last.
I messed up. I didn't focus on the details,
and it was a huge learning lesson today.
-Oh, my God. I am so sorry. -Don't be.
KIM: We're going to the beach.
PENN: This is not giving me great directions, okay?
KIM: I know, honey. I'm telling you everything I know.
Okay. I'm gonna let Jesus take the wheel, and Jesus is Kim.
KIM: Oh, here we go. Let's park...
-PENN: At the Kantina. -Yeah, let's park just up here.
-PENN: Where is it? -Yeah, anywhere.
PENN: Hello.
Are you Dimitra?
I would love for you to tell us what to order.
The dish of the day is the souvlaki,
-but first you must spell it. -KIM: Souvlaki.
-Yes. -Yay. All right.
-DIMITRA: Pork or chicken? -Pork, please.
KIM: "You have to eat the entire item
you ordered before leaving the stand." Done.
PENN: I'm gonna eat that.
Thank you.
All right, I'm gonna go big bite.
Mmm. So good.
PENN: This is what it looks like eating in our family
when you have kids that are gonna take all your food.
KIM: I know.
Do you have a clue?
No clue.
-Did we screw that up? -Mm-hmm.
Think I got to swallow it.
-No. -No clue.
LULU: What does that thing say over there?
It's in Greek, Lulu.
Do you think anyone passed us?
I don't know. I'm not thinking right now about any of 'em.
"Make a left onto the paved road at the stop sign."
Was there a stop sign back there?
Yeah.
KIM: Oh, did we eat the clue?
Oh!
St. George Church in Heraklea.
-Okay, it's this. Got it. -You got us.
[laughter]
PENN [New York accent]: Bastards.
DUSTY: I think we're sitting in second.
Penn and Kim left before us,
so we just need to try to just stay where we're at, stay put.
RYAN: There's "Meemo's Kantina Stands."
How about that?
DUSTY: What should we have today?
The dish of the day today is the souvlaki.
-Souvlaki. -But first you must spell it.
I know how to spell this, dude-- souvlaki.
Is it...
Correct.
-What's the most traditional? -Pork.
-Pork. Let's do pork. -RYAN: Pork it is. Let's do
traditional, buddy. Oh, it smells so good.
-Oh. Mmm. -Delicious?
Joey Chestnut, eat your heart out, buddy.
-That it? -DUSTY: A clue, please.
No clue? Dude, what are we missing?
Oh.
"St. George Church."
Yup.
We're good. All right, let's go.
DUSTY: How about that spelling, baby?
Is that a church?
-KIM: It's a church. -It looks churchy.
KIM: So, there's probably
-a clue box up here. -Should we just ask this guy?
KIM: No, no, honey, right here.
PENN: Yeah, right there.
Yeah.
Another Roadblock.
"Who wants to be iconic?"
KEOGHAN: For more than a thousand years,
Christendom existed under one body.
There were no denominations.
But after a divide in beliefs,
the church split into different factions, including
the Greek Orthodox Church.
These iconic saints are an integral part
of the lessons taught here during services,
something teams will experience during this Roadblock.
They'll need to listen carefully to this priest
because there's going to be a quiz at the end of his sermon.
If they can identify five saints in the correct order,
the vendor will hand them their next clue.
So, let's go. Let's do it.
Welcome.
Today I would like to tell you
about some of our most revered saints.
The first one, St. Nicholas of Myra.
Legend has it that Nicholas heard of a devout man in town
who was unable to pay for his three daughters' dowries.
Nicholas threw a bag of gold coins through his window.
It's this habit of secret gift-giving by St. Nicholas
that inspired the character Santa Claus.
Thank you.
Here is the second one.
A Roman by birth, Anastasia lived her life
during Emperor Diocletian's persecutions of Christians.
PENN: I want to say something about ADHD 'cause I've got it.
It has two sides to it.
She was put to death on the recognized
birthday of Jesus, December 25th.
One side is, you space out,
you leave your keys in the refrigerator,
you leave your stuff all over the place,
you drive your family crazy.
St. Irene was actually named Penelope at birth.
However, was renamed Irene, which comes from
the Greek word for "peace."
But there's another side that no one knows about.
It's like the superpower side.
St. Christopher decided he should serve Christ
by helping pilgrims cross a treacherous river.
There's this hyperfocus that you can get, not for too long,
but for a little, where you can lock in
on something that you're really interested in,
and you can really absorb a lot.
Christopher is considered the patron saint of travelers.
These are beautiful.
This is longer than I thought it was gonna be.
He's been there a minute.
St. George appeared at a town
that was sacrificing its children
to appease the dragon.
George... slew the dragon.
There's a lot of these.
He really is bizarrely patient.
St. Mercurius joined the Roman army,
serving under the pagan Emperor Decius.
Can you go back? Or you just go...
you just go forward, right?
Don't talk to the priest.
-Sorry. -The next one.
LULU: "Mama's" Kantina Stand.
-Mama's Kantina Stand. -Mama's Kantina Stand.
-We have to ask, Lala. -Okay, then ask, Lulu.
We're looking for Mama's Kantina Stand
or Dimitra.
This is a park.
-It's not in a park. -Maybe it is in a park.
-Huh? -Maybe it could be around here.
Mamo's Kantina Stand?
The kantinais three, four kilometers.
-That way? Okay. -Go this way.
-Okay, thank you. -Okay, thank you.
CAYLA: So, I think it's this right here, right here,
right here, right here.
Okay. "Drive to the Heraklea and search
for Mamo's Kantina Stand." That's the kantinaright here.
"Once there, ask Dimitra to recommend her specialty."
We'll have to keep going back
to the road that we originally were on.
Maybe we should have just stopped and asked.
-Hi. -Hello. Hi. -Hi.
What should we order?
The dish of the day is the souvlaki,
-but first you must spell it. -CAYLA: Okay.
Hold on. hold on. Let me write it down.
-Yes, good. -Oh, my God! What? -Yes!
CAYLA: We're assuming everyone's already gotten here, spelled it,
-and ate their-- Holy... -Wow.
That's a lot.
Okay.
-This is yum. -Mm-hmm.
You look so hot right now.
You've never looked hotter, honestly.
Okay. We did it.
CAYLA: Show it to her.
She-She's gonna make us eat the thing on the ground?
-No. -No.
NATALIA: Oh, wow. Raquel and Cayla are here.
RAQUEL: Well, there's-there's Natalia. We're not in last place.
Hey, girls.
-Hello -Hi.
NATALIA: Can we get something to eat?
The dish of the day is the souvlaki,
but first you must spell it.
"Schulaki."
Is this where we're gonna have to go?
CAYLA: I don't know.
Is that the clue?
NATALIA: "Schulaki."
DIMITRA: No. Try again.
Can we ask people?
-We can ask people, right? -Yeah.
-All right, do you want to just leave and try and go here? -RAQUEL: Yeah.
Can I ask your help? This way, St. George Church?
-[person speaks indistinctly] -Thank you.
-Thank you.
PRIEST: David decided that, to avoid earthly temptation,
he would live in the almond tree.
After three years, an angel of the Lord
came to him and said he could now return to the outside world.
Now with a beard and hair down to his waist.
PENN: Thank you.
Dad's a pastor, but I don't remember a lot of this stuff.
I recognize some of it,
and not all of this was in the Bible.
Hello.
Kalós írthate.Welcome.
-PENN: Hello. -Ready for the quiz?
-PENN: I think so. -Put the answers from left to right.
-PENN: Okay. -Which saint
was put to death on Christmas Day, December 25th?
PENN: He read for a minute and a half
on each person with all these little facts,
and he was only asking about one fact.
But, uh, luckily I was making a personal Cliff Note in my head.
And when you're really focused, you can do that.
I think it was her.
You can say Anastasia--
Christmas, because she got put to death then.
Which saint's name
is derived from the Greek word for "peace"?
PENN: Which was, like, the second thing said about St. Irene.
VENDOR: Which is the patron saint of travelers?
It's the tall guy.
St. Christopher, traveled across the river.
Patron saint of travel.
Like, I-I sort of laid out these bread crumbs in my head
to try to get back to when the question was being asked.
Which saint lived in an almond tree for three years?
It was the last one with the big beard.
This guy's got a beard. They all got beards.
[grunts] It's a bigger beard. I'm gonna go bigger beard.
VENDOR: Which saint served under the Emperor Decius?
Decius was the second one.
So that's the one with the circle around his thing.
I think it's this one.
I'm not sure.
VENDOR: That's your answers?
Well, hang on. Are these options down here?
VENDOR: Correct.
So, you put St. Anastasia,
St. Irene,
St. Christopher,
St. David of Thessaloníki,
and St. Mercurius.
Correct.
Yes! Come on!
Sorry. We got to be quiet. Sorry.
Sorry.
Ha!
-Well done. -Thank you.
Appreciate it.
I'm so proud of you.
I got, like, a last-second, uh...
-Mwah. -Mwah.
-I'm so proud of you. That seemed so hard. Okay. -Okay.
-Yeah, that's gonna trip some people up. -"Route Info.
Drive to your next Pit Stop." -Let's go.
KEOGHAN: This is the Aegean Sea--
home to more than 1,400 islands between Turkey and Greece.
With stunning coastlines like this.
Teams must find me here at Nea Kallikrateia--
a small fishing port that looks towards Mount Olympus.
The last team to check in here...
...may be eliminated.
-Let's go, baby. -I'm so proud of you.
PENN: That wasn't super easy.
NATALIA: Excuse me, uh, do you know "schulaki"?
-ARUN: How do you spell "soulaki"? -NATALIA: The food.
-Souvlaki? -ARUN: To eat.
-NATALIA: To eat. -ARUN: Eat. -English?
Souvlaki.
NATALIA: Thank you.
-Okay, souvlaki. Okay. -Okay.
LALA: We're near, then.
Calm and steady.
We could be last, we could be first.
-This isn't a beach. -We're on the beach.
LALA: No, this is the Pit Stop. We missed it.
We missed it. We got to go back.
-What did you miss? -The Mamo's.
KEOGHAN: Well, you know where the Pit Stop is now.
-LULU: Let's go. -LALA: Nice seeing you.
I'll see you, like, in five.
LALA: We found the Pit Stop.
I told you it was the Pit Stop, Lan.
LALA: Don't get mad at me.
We just need to get to the damn shack and eat food--
which probably will come handy since we're hungry.
All right.
Let's not panic, okay?
Told you.
You weren't listening to me.
I did listen, and I didn't see it.
Did you hear that loud and clear?
DUSTY: St. George Church. That's got to be it, right?
-RYAN: Yeah. -There's a clue box right there, bud.
Let's go.
Oh, no.
This will be interesting.
-Oh, God. You got to be kidding, bro. -God, another Roadblock.
-RYAN: All right. -You got it, dude. You got it.
This is right up your alley. You're a history nut.
This is you, dude. I'm-a go shut the car down.
PRIEST: Welcome.
RYAN: Howdy.
PRIEST: Today, I would like to tell you
about some of our most revered saints.
The first one, St. Nicholas of Myra.
Ryan is a genius. He's a history nut.
I feel super good about this.
Uh, the food one was for me, the brain one's for Ryan.
Uh, the dude had ten years to work on his mind.
Uh, and I know he's gonna crush this.
PRIEST: Anastasia was given an ultimatum--
renounce your faith or be tortured to death.
Everyone seems to think we're just these meatheads,
but you're gonna see some intellect come out of this guy.
PRIEST: St. Irene was actually named Penelope at birth.
It's the right guy doing the job. I'm super pumped.
Uh, we're gonna get out, get in and get out of here.
The next one would be St. John the Theologian.
St. John is a central figure in the Church.
RYAN: In my head, reading the clue for this Roadblock,
I'm seeing the number five--
five different saints.
PRIEST: John helped prepare the Last Supper,
sitting next to Jesus.
When I get to five, I think I'm done.
I'm like, "Good. I'm gonna go do this."
You got it, dude. You got it.
Kalós írthate.
Howdy. Hey.
-VENDOR: Are you ready to take the quiz? -Yes, sir.
So, which saint was put to death on Christmas Day, December 25th?
Uh... [chuckles]
Some of the stories didn't make sense
when I started getting the questions, and I'm like,
"What the heck are you talking about, man?
I didn't hear this. I didn't hear that."
Which saint's name is derived
from the Greek word for "peace"?
So I tried to BS my way through it.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
No clue what I'm doing.
All right. That's what I'm doing.
-Is that it? -Yes, that's it.
I'm sorry, that is incorrect.
-You have to go back and take the lecture again. -Okay.
NATALIA: We're back.
-BOTH: Thank you. -DIMITRA: Correct.
NATALIA: Thank you so much. Okay.
It's really good.
NATALIA: Okay. We get a clue?
No.
I'm so confused.
PRIEST: Born in the tenth century
to a wealthy family,
Nicholas served as a bishop in the town of Myra.
Here. I thought I saw the church. Let me go left here.
-CAYLA: Okay. Oh. -RAQUEL: Here it is. Is this it?
Here's a clue box.
CAYLA: Hell yeah. Hell yes.
CAYLA AND RAQUEL: Roadblock.
Ooh. Oh, we have another team showing up. Interesting.
Is it just right here?
Sympathetic to their dire situation, Nicholas-- welcome--
under the cover of the night, went to the man's house
and threw a bag of gold coins through his window.
It's this habit of secret gift-giving by St. Nicholas
that inspired the character we know today as--
you've guessed it-- Santa Claus.
Santa Claus.
The next one would be St. Anastasia.
CAYLA: I was remembering the information
by finding connections
to what makes me remember this saint.
According to legend,
St. Christopher is considered the patron saint of travelers.
CAYLA: My friend Chris--
he wrote a book on vagabonding, of traveling.
So I was, like, coming up with all these little sayings
to remember what saint was what.
St. John is credited with writing the Book of John
and four other books of the New Testament.
RYAN: They get to five. I'm like, "All right.
I'm gonna go try it again."
-PRIEST: The next one. -CAYLA: The next one?
Why are you in such a hurry?
-What? -CAYLA: He said, "The next one."
Is that five?
The next one is St. George.
RYAN: So I come back, and the guy's like,
"Yeah. You need to listen to all of 'em.
There's ten."
St. George was a soldier in the Roman army
under Emperor Diocletian.
RYAN: So,
stood there and listened to all of 'em. It helps
a little bit when you actually hear
what you're supposed to be doing.
It's, uh, very frustrating.
PRIEST: George slew the dragon.
NATALIA: "The team and you must eat the entire item
you ordered before leaving the stand."
ARUN: Oh.
-Nat, where's the paper? -What paper?
The... She wrapped the paper.
Oh, I just threw it out.
[Arun grunts]
Oh, wow. Okay.
-"St. George Church." -Okay.
Okay. St. George Church.
So we need to find directions to St. George Church.
LULU: Here we are.
All we have to do is keep going straight.
That's all.
-Keep going straight there? -Lala, look. Look.
-She's right here. -Oh.
See her? Right here. Stop.
Dimitra, can you recommend us the specials?
The dish of the day is the souvlaki,
but first you must spell it.
-Say it again. -Souvlaki.
Souv... like...
S-U...
Like...
Are there clues anywhere?
-Welcome to Thessaloníki. -Thank you. -Thank you so much.
-It's so beautiful here. -Kim and Penn,
I am pleased to tell you that you are team number one.
[laughing]: Yeah.
And I have some great news for you.
As the winners of this leg of the race, you have won
-$7,500 each. -Whoa!
-What?! -That's awesome! Thank you so much.
You guys are racking in the trips, you're racking
-in the money. -Oh, my gosh. -I mean...
We just won our third leg in a row.
That is stunning.
I'm shocked. Like, money? Huge fan.
Um, but making it to the finals?
I would trade it all in.
Do you know how to spell "souvlaki"?
Can you look... look it up on the phone?
"S-O-U-V-L-A-K-I."
Thank you so much.
Okay.
Yes.
All right.
Thank you.
Might as well.
I've never had a souvlaki,
and it's actually really good.
I've never had onion in my life.
[coughing]
Are you almost done? Yeah?
Done.
Do we just leave?
We're missing something. We ate it.
-What are we missing here? -I don't understand.
PRIEST: Irene suffered gravely for her faith,
earning the name Irene the Great Martyr.
DUSTY: Someone just showed up over there.
[Raquel sputters]
DUSTY: Oh, boy.
NATALIA: Roadblock. It's okay. It's me.
-You got this, Nat. -Okay.
-This is your, uh, wheelhouse. -Can you hold this?
Her ability to heal these poisoned prisoners
earned the name Anastasia, the Deliverer from Potions.
[exaggerated sigh]
[chuckles] Welcome.
-To hell. -How many times have you heard this?
[giggles]
PRIEST: The next one would be St. Christopher.
"You must eat the entire item
ordered before leaving the stand."
-We spelled... -Yes... you spelled.
-And then we ate it. -Yes.
At the stand.
-You're at the stand. Okay. -Okay, it's a clue?
No clue?
Oh, my God. I feel so dumb.
-Hi. -Hi.
-What's the special? -The dish of the day is the souvlaki.
-Okay, souvlaki. -But first you must spell it.
Okay. S-O-U-V-L-
-A-K-I. -Okay.
-Make it little. -Make it little, please.
Here we go. Second time's the charm.
Let me... let me eat most of it.
[coughing]
Calm down.
LULU: Eating something that you know you don't like
-is hard. -Is hard.
Here. Take a small bite.
LULU: I'm gagging, I threw up in my mouth,
swallowed that.
Came out through my nose,
sniffed it back up. It was so bad.
Let it out. Go. Let it out.
Let it out.
[gasps]
Is there anything else?
Do you have a clue?
Nothing?
-What...? -[sniffles] What are we missing?
St. John is often shown
carrying his own head.
Good luck, Cayla.
Okay.
-Back again. -Which saint was put to death
on Christmas Day, December 25th?
Being locked up, it was... it was very tough.
Ultimately I had to gain control and start
working on myself, both mentally and physically,
and that's the only way that I could find
to survive that environment.
But at least
the more mental side of it is paying off
in-in the, uh, challenges.
-And we're good? -This is it. I think so, yeah.
St. Anastasia, St. Irene, St. Christopher,
St. David from Thessaloníki, St. Mercurius.
-That is correct. -Yes.
Thank you, sir. I appreciate you. Thank you for your time.
-Ooh. -DUSTY: You good, buddy?
-Ooh. -You good, Ryan?
Let's go!
VENDOR: Which saint served in the Roman army
under the Emperor Decius?
VENDOR: So we've got
St. Anastasia, St. Irene,
St. Christopher, St. David, St. Mercurius.
-Correct. -Yeah! [laughs]
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Thank you, thank you, thank you. -Oh, my God!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. [giggles]
"Eat the entire item you ordered before leaving."
Maybe it's in the clue.
St. George Church. This is it. Let's go.
They made me sick for nothing?
[bell dings]
VENDOR: Which saint served
in the Roman army under the Emperor Decius?
Okay, I'm just gonna go with this.
VENDOR: Let's check it out.
[buzzer sounds]
-Incorrect. -Okay.
-VENDOR: The lecture waits for you. -NATALIA: Okay.
Can you help us point the direction to this?
-The directions? -Yeah.
-Yeah? -Yeah. He said "Yeah."
-Here. Show him. -Thank you, sir.
CAYLA: This is an Amazing Race roller coaster.
We started in second, then we were in first.
Then we were back to second, then we actually left that last.
-The ocean's right here. -Nea Kallikrateia...
-[speaks indistinctly] -Okay. -Okay. Okay.
-Perfect. Thank you, sir. -Perfect. Thank you, sir.
Do I just take this road all the way down, you think?
I think so, and then I think
we're eventually gonna take a right
'cause it's a fishing port.
We can only go right, so... He did say
that the last turn would be a right,
so I think we got it, dude.
[both sigh]
[whoops]
Welcome to Thessaloníki.
-Thank you. -Thank you. -Raquel and Cayla,
I am pleased to tell you that you are team number two.
[whoops] Yeah! [laughs]
RAQUEL: We've been in last today.
We've been in first, we've been all over the board.
And to just end up where we started,
you know, is a testament to how strong we are,
and we're still in this running.
We're crushing it.
-RYAN: Oh, look who we found. -KEOGHAN: Excellent.
-Yeah? -Ryan and Dusty, I am pleased to tell you
that you are team number three.
You will be racing in the next leg of the race, the ninth leg.
VENDOR: Which saint lived
in an almond tree for three years?
Which saint served in the Roman army under the Emperor Decius?
Let's check it out.
St. Anastasia, St. Irene, St. Christopher,
St. David of Thessaloníki, and St. Mercurius.
-Correct. -Thank you so much.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
Yes, yes, yes! Good job!
LALA: We're looking for St. George Church.
-Is this it? This looks like a church. -LULU: Yeah.
There's the clue box. Let me get off and get it.
BOTH: Roadblock.
That's me.
The first one-- St. Nicholas of Myra.
Michael's name, which comes from the Hebrew
for "Who is like God?"
David decided he would live in the almond tree.
"I am Christ, your king."
Anastasia was put to death on the recognized
birthday of Jesus, December 25th.
Wow.
NATALIA: Did we pass it, you think?
Nat, I don't know.
NATALIA: I think it was back there.
-Where? -Over there.
-Where, Nat? -Oh, just turn around, turn around.
We don't have time to lose right now.
David relented and returned to the outside world.
-I'm gonna give it a shot. -Okay.
-Thank you. -I'll be here.
-Okay. -You got this, Lulu.
Don't panic, okay? Don't-don't act like me.
LULU: I hated school, so
I'm not liking this whole test thing.
NATALIA: We just want to make sure we're headed
towards the fishing port.
Now we just want to, you know, focus on, make sure
we're going the right way, 'cause, uh,
navigation isn't our strong point.
ARUN: Should we just stop here and ask the gentleman?
NATALIA: Okay, yeah.
-VENDOR: Is that it? -Yes.
-So, we have St. Anastasia, St. Irene. -Mm-hmm.
-St. Christopher. -Right.
St. David from Thessaloníki,
-and St. Mercurius. -Yes.
Correct.
You have beautiful eyes.
-Thank you. -You have gorgeous eyes. Lala?
-You got it, girl. -Is there still people?
There's nobody else has come?
Uh, no, not that I have seen.
Hi. Um, Nea Kallikrateia?
-Kallikrateia? There. -Yeah.
-You turn right. -ARUN: Yeah.
-Uh, and do what? -And, uh, go to the...
-Yeah, just go on this road. -NATALIA: Okay.
We've been to the Pit Stop already, so we know how
-to get there. -Well, we have an idea of how to get there.
It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
Welcome to Thessaloníki, guys.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Arun and Natalia...
-you are team number four. -[screams] -Yes! Yes!
-Yes! -You are still in the race.
-You are not eliminated. -NATALIA: What? -Yes!
Fourth place!
How many more lives do you have left?
NATALIA: We're just, like,
so excited. It's, like, within arm's reach.
Now it's like, "Okay, we're moving forward."
It's a great feeling.
Welcome again, girls.
-BOTH: Thank you. -The pink ladies.
-Yes. -Thank you. Yes.
-Lulu and Lala? -Yes?
Unfortunately, you are the last team to arrive.
Oh, man.
And you have been eliminated from the race.
Well, it was a nice run.
I'm so happy, so happy that I'm able to say...
BOTH: We were on The Amazing Race!
After going through a pandemic, after everything, thank you.
Well, no. Thanks to you for coming back.
I mean, it's hard to come back and then be eliminated.
I can see that your mascara has dripped down to here.
I have raccoon eyes.
-They're tears of...? -No. Tears of...
Tears of everything. [laughs]
I'm just appreciative that I got to go to countries
that I'd never think I'd visit.
We got to do a lot of things with my best friend over here,
partner in crime.
Thinking back on the tough year
and everything we did here, I can't...
I can't say anything but thank you.
Thank you for the experience.
I underestimated myself a lot.
We do that a lot, and so, to know that I did climb
the mountain of Santis, and she bungee jumped,
and I ate cheese with maggots
and had "saku-kinicki" or whatever it's called.
To know that we were able to get to the eighth leg.
It's not so bad.
-Yeah, we're-we're not that bad. -Wow.
Are you gonna jump in the water?
Yeah, I still will if I... yeah, if I can.
You guys want to end with a...?
BOTH: With a splash!
-Ready? One, two, three. -One, two, three.
Amazing Race!
Well, that's the most dramatic exit we've had in a while.

KEOGHAN: Next time onThe Amazing Race...
RYAN: It could be anybody's race.
KEOGHAN: With only four remaining...
[whoops]
Holy moly, how did we find this?
-Where are you going? -We can't be fighting right now.
This is an actual task. This is not a nightmare?
RAQUEL: Turning over
every stone.
KEOGHAN: Teams leave no stone unturned.
