PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on The Amazing Race,
ten teams raced through Glasgow, Scotland.
- Akbar and Sheri stalled out. - (engine straining)
Oh, my God. This right here is like my worst... nightmare.
KEOGHAN: Kim and Penn sang and danced...
♪ Donald, where's your troosers? ♪
...all the way to the top.
You are team number one.
- Yes! - (laughs) Yes.
KEOGHAN: Meanwhile, Arun and Natalia made costly mistakes...
If we get eliminated after helping them,
then, like, we'll really regret this.
I think I failed that.
...that ended their race.
You are the last team to arrive,
and you have been eliminated from the race.
This is the best experience any father could have hoped for.
KEOGHAN: In an unprecedented first...
The world is dealing with the coronavirus.
...the race shut down.
In order to keep you safe,
the best choice is to suspend the race.
After 19 months and with a safe plan in place,
teams will restart the race in Switzerland.
Yeah!
(laughing)
- (whooping) - Yes!
PENN: All right!
Looking good. Looking good!
Welcome back to The Amazing Race.
(applause and cheering)
Uh, before we were interrupted,
the world was waiting for you, and I am pleased to tell you
that the world is waiting for you once again.
(applause, cheering and whooping)
This has been a 19-month pit stop
since the last time we were together,
and here we are in Switzerland, arguably
the most neutral country in the world.
Seems like the perfect place to restart The Amazing Race.
That is why we are here.
Now, you will notice that there are some teams
missing in the lineup.
Not everybody had the ability to come back
and race for that $1 million prize, so...
(cheering)
...we have a few familiar faces taking their place.
Wow. (laughs)
Welcome.
Michael and Moe, Arun and Natalia,
feel good to be back?
- Yes, sir. Yeah. - Absolutely.
Now, we've invited two
of our eliminated teams to come back into the race.
For the rest of you, how do you feel about this?
-Welcome back, -ARUN: Oh, thank you, guys.
- DUSTY: Good seeing you guys. - Thank you.
- Thank you, guys. - ARUN: Thank you.
Because they came back, we can finish this race.
Exactly. Now, what's been happening with you guys
since the last time I saw you?
Things for me haven't changed a whole lot.
You know, I'm used to being locked down.
I just transitioned straight back
into prison life.
- (laughter) - KEOGHAN: Wow.
The fact that you even have a sense of humor about it...
- Ah, it was life, right? It was life. - That's why I love him.
- Natalia got married, so... (laughs) - (applause and cheering)
So, your husband was okay with you coming away?
Like, he's excited. He's cheering.
RAQUEL: As flight attendants, we both lost our job
for a year, and so it forced us to have to find other work.
It's nice to be back in our element
and finally be traveling again.
And we're ready to get back in the race.
We have been broadcasting our show from our basement.
It was pretty hard on us because
we, too, were going through our own stuff.
Our grandmother passed away through COVID.
Do we pick up our bags and...?
Bye, Mima. Te quiero.
(speaks Spanish)
Te quiero, Mima. Mwah.
We weren't there when she passed away,
so I have to just thank the nurses
that held her hand when she passed away
because we weren't there for her.
So our grandmother said
before leaving, um, "When you start something in life,
you finish it." And so that's why
we came back to The Amazing Race.
- Race in honor of your grandmother? - Exactly.
KEOGHAN: I think that's a nice segue to say, let's go
really enjoy this race.
Yes! (whoops)
It is still our number one priority to keep you guys safe,
so there will be a few adjustments that take place.
For instance, when we move from one country to another,
you will be flying on charters.
You'll be avoiding public transportation,
so you'll be doing a lot more self-driving.
When I say go, you need to find the Museumstrasse.
There you will see three buses.
First come, first serve.
- Is everybody ready to restart this race? - (all assent)
All right, Switzerland is waiting for you.
Good luck. Travel safe.
Go.
It's down a hill, I know that. You're going that way?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Stay with the pack. - Let's go this way.
Hold on. What you looking for?
You got to use those police navigation skills.
Says "Museum."
Natalia, are you okay?
Oh. Oh, that's it.
- Thank you. - Go, go, go. Keep going.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Come on, quick. Come on, come on. Come on, Moe.
- Ah. - Right here.
- Oh, yeah. - Oh.
Ready?
Here we go, Ryan.
PENN: "Make your way to Schwagalp.
"Then take a cable car 8,000 feet above sea level
to the top of the Santis to find your next clue."
We're going up to the mountains!
(whoops)
♪ ♪
- RYAN: We're starting. - (whooping)
8,000 feet. We're all going up.
Ryan and I actually have trained with some altitude training.
He came and visited me at my new place in Colorado,
and we hiked a 13,000-foot peak.
With COVID-19, there has been ample time
over the last year and a half.
We just knew to polish where we felt like we were weak,
maybe the first three legs.
Like, we need to become a jack-of-all-trades.
This time around, you're gonna see something spectacular.
The mountain boys, baby. The mountain boys.
KIM: I live at sea level.
8,000 feet's real high.
Let's hope there's a dance challenge at the top.
- Yeah. - And not a big run.
PENN: It feels so good to be back.
Our motivation the first time was to make our kids proud.
This time around,
we're running this race
to show them that we finish what we start.
We're a very tight-knit family.
Like, we loved
quarantining with them.
I really already miss them,
but if we didn't go,
- they'd be pissed at us. - (laughs)
- MOE: Isn't this ironic we're together? - NATALIA: Yeah.
This is our second chance.
We know we're better than what we showed,
so, I mean, that's what this is all about.
It's about redemption.
We were eliminated in the first leg of the race, unfortunately.
MICHAEL: We went home and just said, if we ever get
another opportunity, that'd be a huge blessing for us.
And for us to be here with another chance is-is a miracle.
- We will not be that first team. - Not be that first team.
- We... - ARUN: We absolutely won't be
the first team to get eliminated in this leg.
Wow! We are so pumped and excited to be back!
NATALIA: This is the first time in race history, you know,
that an eliminated team gets
to continue racing in the same race.
Come on, Nat. Show some excitement.
(both laugh)
Neither one of us are-are good with heights.
- Yeah, I hate heights. - But, uh,
this has definitely got some, uh,
jumping off something written all over it.
If we skydive,
- you got it. (laughs) - I'm sure I do.
AKBAR: It's been a year and a half
since our last leg.
There's definitely things I need to change.
I'm a hard critic. I'm a coach, so I try to motivate her,
but I have to be more patient.
It's just trying to reinvigorate whatever that oomph
that she had when she was a Division One athlete.
And sometimes it all was my yelling, so I'll be better.
- Two other cars. - Two other buses.
Right behind us.
RAQUEL: This is so beautiful.
Look at these views and look at this town.
- RYAN: Yeah, I thought Colorado was pretty. - DUSTY: Yeah.
RYAN: This is insane.
DUSTY: There it is. Let's turn and burn.
Get going, get going.
Let's go right here, right here.
Mike, Mike.
Hello.
KIM: We're all together, one big happy family.
PENN: Here we go.
(whooping): Yeah!
KIM: Wow. This is crazy.
You can feel the air thinning now.
(whooping)
Next level, baby.
PENN: There's people walking down this thing.
Look at the people walking down the hill.
MICHAEL: You see 'em? They look like ants.
- This ain't Buffalo. - MOE: Oh, my God.
SHERI: Oh, my goodness.
Trying not to notice the views.
I am very afraid of heights, so this is really stressful.
- Oh, my goodness. - Are you okay?
- Deep breath. - Okay.
KIM: He's letting us in.
Oh. Clue box! Clue box!
DUSTY: Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan!
- Roadblock. - Roadblock, Ryan.
"Who wants to take in the view?"
There are not many places in the world that you can do this.
Stand in one spot and see six countries...
Austria, Liechtenstein,
Italy, France, Germany
and Switzerland.
But there's more to this place
than spectacular panoramic views.
This Roadblock requires teams to get high...
8,000 feet above sea level.
Navigating a via ferrata,
they must pick up a clue here on this ridge.
- I'm taking in the view, baby. - Ryan will take in the view.
- I'll do it. - Okay.
Heights. You.
- Ah, me. - Okay.
- You. Okay. - Me. Okay.
- You. - I got it.
- You want to? All right. - All right. Don't matter.
I guess it's me.
- You sure? - Yeah.
DUSTY: Ryan, brother, kill it. I love you, dude.
(indistinct chatter)
All right.
I was all for letting him do this thing, but it seems like.
Akbar is too big for this one,
so I just took the lead,
and I said that I would do it.
But I'm definitely terrified.
- Okay, let's go. - Do it.
- Yeah. - All right.
Let's go.
- KIM: You got this, babe. - AKBAR: Let's go, let's go.
- Come on, Ryan. - Come on, Moe.
- LALA: Come on, Lulu! - AKBAR: You got it, Sheri!
MICHAEL: Keep it up, Moe.
CAYLA: You got it, Raquel!
Now putting in the rope.
RYAN: The challenge was to just clip into a rope
on the... on the ledge of the mountain.
I mean, in some places, you have, like, a foot,
it seemed like. I mean, it was... it was pretty far down.
And you had to switch every... I don't know... like, 50 feet.
I mean to me, I love being on the mountain.
We've done this a lot,
so I was just, like, clip in and run.
Look how beautiful this is.
Oh, this is so much fun. I got this down.
I feel very comfortable and confident.
Ooh, look at that! Yeah, it's pretty.
Go, Penn!
Man, I don't like heights. I'll tell you that.
But I'm doing all right, not looking down.
Oh, my God.
Lord, please be with me. Really scary.
AKBAR: I'm feeling bad.
I should have went.
Can't keep making these rookie mistakes.
I'm keeping my eyes on the ground in front of me because
I don't want to have a panic attack,
which I think I will if I look down, so...
Oh, now this is legit.
Going up. (whoops)
Yeah, I could actually feel my grandmother's presence here.
It's very peaceful.
She's-she's here with us.
Oh. Oh.
- Oh. - (Raquel panting)
(whooping)
Oh, it's getting steep.
Yeah! (whoops)
Small steps.
How do I go? Yeah?
Oh, man.
Come on, baby. (whoops)
DUSTY: What really is, uh, carrying Ryan right now
is the calves that the man has.
They look like a couple of bowling balls
stuffed in onion sacks.
He was built for this.
Oh.
Yeah.
(grunts)
♪ Yodel-ay-ee-hoo! ♪
Let's go back up.
Oh!
LULU: I was neck and neck with Ryan.
She's right there, second one.
She was a beast.
- And your ass looked nice, too, by the way. - Did it?
I could see it from all the way up there.
I was so proud of her.
Lulu just got the clue.
(whoops)
- Here you can take over if you want. - Let's go.
RAQUEL: When we went down the side of the mountain,
I just did not want to trip on the rocks.
But, man, Penn was behind me, and he just crushed it.
ARUN: I thought
there's a way out.
I didn't know we had to come back.
- I guess I didn't... (laughs) - You're on The Amazing Race.
PENN: Wow.
You got to the end of it, and it was this stunning,
beautiful view of six countries.
That is the kind of place where, like, I-I could probably
have sat and stared at for two hours.
But I-I did not.
Let's go.
(panting)
PENN: I realized that maybe I could pass some people,
so I passed Arun, and I passed Lulu pretty quickly,
and then I was gone.
KIM: It looks like Penn may have had
the opportunity to pass some people.
So hot.
It's go time.
I'm a sure thing.
(panting)
AKBAR: Being at the back
of the-the pack right now...
It's not a... not a good place, man. Not a good place.
I definitely should've went.
Stay with it. Hey.
Slow and steady. You got this.
SHERI: I'm stuck on something.
PENN: Sheri... the look on her face made me think
that she was... she was scared
and she-she felt... I think she felt like
she was letting somebody down, and so, I was like,
"I wonder if she's gonna even make it back
up the top of the mountain."
Sheri, take your time.
Okay.
- I'm so proud of you. - Thank you.
You're doing so awesome.
- Put it on your hand. - All right.
Come on, Ryan, wherever you're at. Get up here!
Man.
(grunts)
Oh, my gosh.
All right, just pass.
- ARUN: Sheri, you can do it. - Thank you.
You're doing a good job.
(indistinct chatter)
AKBAR: I'm feeling bad.
The tie that we had with everyone is gone...
- LALA: Come on, Lulu! - DUSTY: Come on, Ryan!
(whoops)
SHERI: The altitude was really tough,
and I was terrified.
It was
a plethora of things that was coming into play.
Oh, my goodness.
- Here. - Help me open this thing. Can't get it open.
All right, let's go, buddy.
- Good ..., baby. - Little sweaty.
- All right, here we go. Route Info. - Oh, what we got?
DUSTY: "Drive yourselves to Gasthaus Sonne in the town
of Urnasch to find your next clue."
- Let's go. - Go time. Let's go, baby.
- You got your ticket? - I got my ticket.
- Ten minutes? - Damn. Just missed the lift,
literally, by minutes. Man, we...
(muttering)
Missing the tram by seconds is gut-wrenching.
We would've had it completely. Now there's gonna be
- at least two or three teams behind us. - Yeah.
Ooh! I'm sweating like a pig.
Oh, my God. You're so hot.
- (laughs) - Do you have a clue?
Yeah.
- "Town..." - "Gasthaus Sonne
in the town of Urnasch to find your next clue."
- Okay. - Oh, Dusty's still waiting. (whoops)
You got it, Sheri.
Come on. You know we ain't used to this type of stuff inside.
Survive, survive.
Open the clue.
- Okay. - We're off. You good?
- Let's open it already. Okay. - Open it.
I'm proud of you.
All right, let's go.
Well done.
- You got it? - Yeah.
You ready to drive up with that?
Yeah.
- My guy. - Geez.
Come on. Good job. Good job, bro. Good job.
- We got to drive. - All right. Come on.
We might... we might... we might be able
to catch that chair. I know. Come on.
I know I'm in last place right now.
Gonna have to try and make up some time, some type of way.
The door is opening, I think, guys.
Go ahead. After you.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, bro.
We got everybody here except for Sheri and Akbar.
Here we go.
(panting)
MAN: Here we are.
Thank you.
It didn't feel good to see that I was halfway through,
and we were dead last.
When the clouds started rolling in, I was scared that
the rocks were going to get more slippery,
and I was like, "Oh, I'm not going to be able to finish."
MAN: There we go.
It's hard, it's going... It's rough.
It's a whiteout.
I can't see Sheri now. She's dead last.
That's it. That's gonna be on me.
It was rough getting down. Now I have to get back.
Oh, my God. Listen, man. The whole race right here, man.
Whole race.
Sheri, we got to pick it up!
I'm just trying to make it back.
(groans softly) Got to make it work.
We go to our right.
- To the right! - Let's go. Right here, Ryan.
NATALIA: Oh, nice.
- MICHAEL: It's this way? - Yeah.
You're in the lead right now. Good job, bro.
We went from sixth place to now,
we're literally in the lead right now.
Our first time actually getting to have this feeling.
PENN (laughing): It's foggy as hell.
So we... I think we're in second place right now.
And we got some people catching up with us.
I can't believe this is not stick.
I really wanted to showcase my hard-earned stick shift skills,
like a badass that I am.
- Are we in the town of Urnasch now? - I think so.
MOE: Go get it, Mike. Just go get it.
Grab the... grab the cl-clue.
"Detour: Punch It or Toss It."
These traditional handmade Swiss belts were originally crafted
to represent wealth and status in the farming community.
Each belt tells a different story,
and supposedly, the more ornaments on your belt,
the wealthier you were.
Using these specialized hand tools,
teams must tell a story by attaching ornaments
in the correct order.
When the master belt maker
says that they've got their story straight,
he'll hand them a clue.
Switzerland is famous for lots of things.
Spectacular mountains like these,
Swiss chocolate, of course,
and also the sport of Fahnenschwingen.
Competitors toss their flags in a series
of highly-choreographed maneuvers.
Teams need to learn a short sequence of tosses and twirls.
Once each team member is able to properly perform the routine,
they'll receive their next clue.
We are doing Punch It.
- Okay. - All right, here we go.
- I like Toss It. - Toss It.
We're gonna Toss It.
Okay, go straight, go straight. We're good.
- 500 meters. - Yeah. Okay. - Okay, got it. Thank you.
Okay.
- Toss It? - Toss It?
- Toss It. - All right, Toss It.
Let's hurry up and follow 'em.
- Toss It. Toss It. - We're gonna Toss It.
- We're gonna do Toss It. - Okay.
- We're gonna do Toss It. - Toss It.
We'll do Punch It.
Is that what we're looking for? No?
Is this it? No?
I don't know, bro. We gonna turn around.
Oh, we're gonna still catch up, bro.
500 meters? Okay.
MICHAEL: Something's not right, bro.
You guys passed it?
No, we're back where we started, bro.
- It's this way? - Dad...
No, dude, don't wait for them. Go, dude. I think we passed it.
Damn.
Oh, that was Mike and Moe.
On leg three, we helped other teams, and they beat us,
and we ended up getting eliminated,
so this time we're focusing on our own race.
MOE: I don't know where we going.
Hopefully, Sheri and them is-is kind of still behind, though.
I know.
I-I should have chose this one.
We're gonna have to have a flawless race after this,
so we can catch up, man.
And let's get there and keep fighting.
I made it.
When I finished the Roadblock,
I just couldn't believe that I did it.
I faced that fear.
That was a really good feeling.
It was amazing.
That was really, really tough.
KIM: Right there, right there, right there.
- Oh, parking. - Yeah.
Lock it, Ryan. All right, you ready? Come on, brother.
- Let's go. - DUSTY: Right through here.
Right through here. This ought to be interesting.
Basketball.
- RYAN: Oh, boy. - PENN: Oh, it's not basketball.
DUSTY: I've always wanted to be a flag girl.
Now, is one of 'em heavier? Hang on, hang on, let go.
DUSTY: Demonstration. Left hand.
I think I should stand behind him.
That is smart.
Circle head.
Circle around, bow.
- Oh, boy. - Leg up.
- Oh, circle under the leg. - (Dusty groans)
Circle down.
- He's flipping his wrist. - Yup.
- And he's... Okay, he's holding at very end. - Yup.
Yup. I'm not gonna do that part yet.
I don't get it.
- PENN: We're gonna get better. - Circle your head.
- DUSTY: Circle. - KIM: Head.
PENN: I think we're both pretty good visual learners,
particularly when it comes to choreography.
She's phenomenal at it.
- Then fakey back. - Around the back.
RYAN: My lats don't do that. I don't know how anybody...
Between the legs like that?
I'm like, "I should have stretched
a little more this morning."
My legs don't work that way. (groans)
Yup, it's gonna be a good one here.
Where's the next one?
Come on.
Whoop. Say hello.
- This might be the flag one. - PENN: I saw Raquel run by.
KIM: Maybe there's another flag station.
PENN: Oh, that's possible.
"Choose a station with two flags." Okay, okay.
RAQUEL: Let's watch him do it. One.
No.
Oh, my gosh. Oh.
You see the parking? It says to park here.
- What? - Right here. Parking.
MOE: Just let us get to this spot, please.
Come on, dude. We're good. We're good.
MOE: That's Natalia and them right there.
Go, go, go!
Come on, Moe.
(playing upbeat tune)
- Here? - NATALIA: Yeah, yeah.
- Okay, let's watch the demonstration. - Mm.
NATALIA: So we have to make a story out of these ornaments
and put 'em on the belt in the right order.
He's showing us the process, but our story is different.
Okay, Moe, Moe, Moe, look, look, look.
I see how he's putting 'em in. Come here, bro.
Okay, let's do a story first.
A papa cow has realized his baby calf is missing
on a very cloudy day,
and now the whole farm has started to search.
And then the farmer and his dog search behind the barn.
And then the mama cow saved the day,
finding him playing with the goat.
And then the family is reunited as the sun shines bright.
All right, let's just try this order and see.
So, are we starting from this end?
MOE: No, we gonna start from...
yeah, the holes' end.
- Down here? - Yeah. We don't know
in what order we're supposed to be reading. Like, is this the
beginning of the story, or is that the beginning of the story?
So we chose one way as the beginning of the story.
We got to see how it... how it plays out.
Yup, good job.
RAQUEL: This isn't as hard as it looks.
- Let's just take it piece by piece, okay? - CAYLA: Okay, all right, okay.
(laughs) - Okay... I don't think I can do this.
RAQUEL: Oh, my God.
CAYLA: That challenge... I thought
it was gonna be a little bit more sporty.
I should have known that it was gonna be
more like choreography.
(laughing): I am not coordinated.
This is my nightmare.
Girls, we all got this?
- Kind of. - Around the back,
and then you step. Don't let the flag touch the ground.
Up with his fingers, up and down.
RAQUEL: For us, this season, it's like girl power.
CAYLA: We're all about, like,
you know, an all-girl team winning. You know,
if it can't be us, I would love for it to be Lulu and Lala.
PENN: All right, so, start to lift over the head.
Now fakey.
Oh, he's going fast.
DUSTY: You turn it once,
and then you let it...
You turn it this way and then roll it on your arm.
I don't know.
RYAN: It's tough when you got to learn
multiple steps
of something you've never done before.
DUSTY: With the pressure cooker on you of The Amazing Race.
- RYAN: With Penn and Kim over there doing it. - Yeah. Yeah.
- RYAN: You know they're better probably. - Yeah.
Dude, what was the other one?
You want to switch?
So right now we're thinking we should switch.
Should we make the move? Is this the right choice?
That's the thing about The Amazing Race
is, one wrong choice can gut you.
This is terrible.
What have we done here?
You want to switch?
Thing is, with the race, you don't know what you got.
And then if you switch, I mean,
it could just as easily be more difficult
or take just as long, so, I mean,
you got to roll with what you got.
Let's give it one more try.
Yeah, we can do this, dude.
- Yeah. - We can do this.
- Circle. - PENN: Then you're gonna fake down.
DUSTY: Fakey. Under your leg.
Spin.
- RYAN: That was better. - KIM: Better.
- DUSTY: That was better. - PENN: I think I got it.
Judge?
- My arms are killing me. - All right.
KIM: You can call it out.
Step a little ahead of me.
Down. Go down here, under the leg.
Up here.
- KIM: Yeah. - Go over round the top of the head.
You catch it on the elbow.
And then you go over, around,
toss it, catch it, underhanded, and go like this.
Unfortunately, that wasn't correct.
I stepped on my flag.
DUSTY: Once we saw Penn and Kim miss it the first time,
I was like, "There's blood in the water."
Man, if we could pull this off and get 'em, I mean,
that would be incredible.
It's never over till the fat lady sings
or Phil says it's over, so
we're gonna keep going until we get there.
- Do we have the story right? - NATALIA: Yeah, we do.
So they did it the exact opposite of us, so we'll see.
We'll see what happens.
We have two pieces left,
but hopefully it's the right way.
Kind of stressful 'cause we don't know
whether we're doing it exactly right.
Come on!
NATALIA: We can't be at the back of the pack.
We got to speed it up, we got to get to the front of the pack.
PENN: Over the head.
- Fakey. - Fakey.
Turn it, toss.
All right, we're ready.
Judge. Circle.
Around.
- Going really too slow. - Yep, really slow.
Turn it.
- Right, now out now. - Yeah.
DUSTY: Around your back.
- Stir the soup. - Stir it.
- Over the head. - Go around your head.
Flip.
Yeah!
Well done.
- Yeah! (whoops) - Yeah!
My boy, baby.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
- Good luck, guys. - All right, see you.
Oh, boy!
"Drive to Marktgasse in the town of Altstatten
to find Phil on the mat at your next Pit Stop."
This is the small market town of Altstatten.
Located on the foothills of Switzerland's eastern mountains,
this picture-perfect destination is the Pit Stop
for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
We're good. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
PENN: Here we go. Let's try it again.
Over the head. Then fakey down.
And over.
Up leg.
- What just happened? - I just... I just kicked it.
- PENN: Now, let's start... - KIM: Honey, I-I really
screwed this up, and my arms are shaking.
- Penn. - PENN: Want to put it down
- and take a second? - I just need a...
- Yeah, it's all right. - It's my left arm.
I mean, it's this
long lever, right, and you do it for so many times.
And finally, I realized, my arm is shaking, and I can't lift it.
PENN: Okay.
- Sorry. - You're fine.
Yeah.
I had a moment of panic that I was gonna cost us
this whole thing,
but I knew that if we win,
the money would pay for our kids' college education.
It would be life-changing, so I just had to do it.
PENN: Here we go.
Left. Fakey.
Down. Lift your leg up.
Pick it up. Good.
All right, we're gonna stir, we're gonna go over our head.
You're doing awesome. We're gonna catch at our elbow.
Up. Throw it up. Catch it underhanded like this.
Okay, great job.
Yes! (laughs): Come on!
Thank you.
"Drive to Marktgasse
in the town of Altstatten."
Let's go. Come on. Let's go!
- There it is. There it is. - AKBAR: What?
SHERI: There's the clue box.
We're gonna do Toss It.
MICHAEL: Come on.
All right, found one more hole.
Yeah, it goes to the bottom, yeah.
- Like that? - Yup.
How they looking over there?
NATALIA: This is our final piece.
- Let's try one time to do... - Can we try?
And...
(muttering)
- Yes! Yes! - Yes. Oh, my God.
- Good job. - Good job, guys.
"Drive to Marktgasse in the town of Altstatten."
RAQUEL: You don't have to make the twirl difficult.
Focus on the flag not getting twisted,
'cause when we twist the flag,
- then you get all messed up. - Okay.
It doesn't matter what place we come in.
- Yup. - It just matters that we get there, okay?
Okay.
She was getting frustrated, and it was hard.
I mean, it's definitely harder than it looks.
But I'm a very spiritual person, and over COVID,
just finding myself
and grounding myself has been really important.
Like, focus on your race, and just do your absolute best.
- She has me meditating with her every morning. - Yeah.
Ready?
Over the leg, twirl.
And then over.
Over the head.
- Move it. - And then throw it up.
Throw it up. There.
Good job.
- (screaming) - (screaming, laughing)
- Thank you. Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Let's go, baby. - (squeals)
RAQUEL: What team is that?
There they are.
CAYLA: Hey, good luck.
Take your time, pay attention to them.
Thank you.
When I saw the other team,
it gave me like a second wind. Like, "Okay, so
maybe we're not out of this thing."
All right.
- Oh. - (Sheri laughs)
(Akbar laughs)
Okay, let's do that again.
Right now we are headed to Altstatten,
uh, to meet Phil on the mat.
So we start with needing to get to Altstatten.
We ain't getting eliminated today, baby.
Altstatten.
We got it, brother.
- Now what? (laughs) - (laughs)
PENN: Appenzell to the right.
To the right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's right.
RYAN: Pull into this thing right here on the left.
- DUSTY: You're gonna park right here? - Yeah, pull in there.
All right, we're getting close. Marktgasse.
- Where? - Right there.
KIM: Okay.
- All right. - Let's work it, baby.
DUSTY: We're gonna cook it.
We're gonna show 'em what this is about.
- Okay. - Go.
- We may be on the wrong side of it. - Yeah.
(whooping)
Oh, I've never wanted to see someone so bad.
Boom.
Welcome in Altstatten on Switzerland.
- Thank you. Pleasure to be here. - Thank you, brother.
Ryan and Dusty, I'm pleased to tell you
you're team number one.
- Yes. (whoops) - Yes!
And I do have some great news for you.
As the winners of this leg of the race,
you have won $2,500 each
- which you can enjoy after the race. - Nice.
This is extra extraordinarily amazing because
of the 19 months that we've all, the whole world,
- has been locked down. - It's history making.
To get a first place after 19 months
of waiting and waiting and waiting,
I feel ecstatic. We're not coming here to lose.
I like taking souls, baby.
- There they are. - Oh, hey.
(Penn laughs)
- Good to see you guys. - Long time no see.
I am pleased to tell you that you're team number two.
Yes!
MICHAEL: Tell me we're going the right way, Moe.
Yeah, it's hard to tell. Hopefully this is the way.
You know what I'm saying? Like, they're doing
the opposite, but if you're going...
He's starting everything this way,
so I would start the story that way and end it here.
Check.
All right.
Here we go.
MOE: If their check is right,
it's gonna be kind of discouraging 'cause we just...
See, I don't... I don't even want to put this piece on.
ARUN: Yes! Good job.
Oh, Mike! Mike!
- Thank you so much. - Thank you. Thank you.
BOTH: "Make your way to the next Pit Stop."
ARUN: Okay, let's go. Okay.
NATALIA: It's done! It's done! It's done! It's done!
ARUN: Good job.
No.
Thank you. Thank you.
The order is wrong.
MICHAEL: Definitely feeling bad right now.
Trying to stay positive, but
we're in the same position that we were when we first started.
About to lose.
Go, definitely run.
KEOGHAN: Wow. We have a footrace.
Oh, oh, okay.
Wow. That was a run.
All that energy, like, flying here. I mean...
- We're all about us girls getting to final three. - Yes.
- Yeah, why is that? - It's been a while
- since there's been an all-female team that won. - Exactly.
Men tend to be a little cocky, you know? So we just want
- to put them in their place. - You want to take them down?
- Yes. - Absolutely. - Anybody in particular
- who's cocky that we need to just, like...? - Oh.
I don't know. Who's the two-male team
that's always first and second?
- Rhymes with "Rusty." - (laughter)
NATALIA: This feels wrong, doesn't it?
- We didn't miss any roads there, correct? - No.
This is when you start to second-guess your directions.
It's getting-getting smaller, getting a lot narrower.
We are lost. Are you freaking kidding me?
- Stop letting it hit the ground. - (Sheri sighs)
I don't know when it's hitting the ground, Ak.
That's when it's hitting the ground.
Well, I'm trying to get it underneath.
Get it underneath your leg.
Just go underneath your leg, please.
- Shut up. - I thought you said you wasn't gonna
- say "shut up" no more. - Well, you deserve to shut up.
AKBAR: We gonna try, judge.
Yes.
Around the back.
Spin it around. Spin it around your head.
Here we go.
Great job.
Yeah!
- Let's go. - Thank you.
- Oh, my God. - Thank you. Thank you.
- AKBAR: We're last. - We're probably last.
- Our order is wrong? - Right. You definitely went backwards.
We're hoping it's right.
We definitely did it completely different from, uh,
- how we've been doing it. - We'll see.
All right. Thank you, man. I appreciate you. Thank you, sir.
MICHAEL: Our clue, dude. Our clue.
- MOE: All right, we're gone. - Oh, my Lord.
SHERI: We're going to Altstatten.
- You want to ask him? - Want to ask him?
Excuse me. Can we ask for your help, please?
You return to the village where you came from.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you guys. - Good luck.
I'm hoping she got some good directions.
We might be a little bit lost.
What is this up here?
Can you help me out with directions?
Okay. Keep going?
Okay.
So we should have gone the other way
when we were at the challenge.
We really have lost a lot of time.
It looks like we're back to square one.
Sheri said we found the place, so we about to find out.
I'm not feeling good at all.
Oh, man.
Ugh. Akbar and Sheri,
- I mean... - I know.
Came back on the race.
High expectations, and then there was a Roadblock.
- And so... - Yeah, it was really hard.
Yeah? To come back and the first team eliminated,
it's always very difficult, and
it's gonna be really hard for the team that arrives last.
(laughing) Let's go, Phil.
- Let's go, baby. - 'Cause you guys are not last.
- Oh. - You are team number five.
- Let's go, Phil. - You are still in the race.
(laughter)
Oh, let's go.
So we're driving from Urnasch to Altstatten.
- We might have to go in this bakery, dude, and ask. - MOE: Okay.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm looking for Marktgasse.
Okay.
Thank you. Thank you.
Maybe this is what she was talking about
- when she said "forest." - We're doing good.
This is exactly what she said.
- I hope this Pit Stop is not... - Far?
Hopefully, we're going the right way.
MICHAEL: Please allow us not to be last.
Hold on. That might be it. That is it.
- That is it? - Altstatten.
I see civilization to the right.
After this, we're gonna go to the right.
ARUN: There, mat.
(man chanting)
- Hello. - Hello.
Arun and Natalia, you are team number six.
- Yeah! Yes! - Oh!
- You can keep on racing. - We know
the misery now of being eliminated,
and that was fueling us.
Like, it's not a good feeling.
(sighs heavily)
- KEOGHAN: Oh, boy. - Hello.
- (Michael laughs) - Ah.
Michael and Moe,
you got a chance to come back in.
Unfortunately, you are the last team to arrive.
You have been eliminated from the race.
MICHAEL: We were excited to just come back. We had
a different game plan, but unfortunately
we kind of just, like a deer in the headlights.
It's okay, though.
We got a chance to do something that most people dream about.
- Two times. - Yeah, no doubt.
You know, this is my brother forever.
No matter what we go through.
We've been through-through all different types of things,
especially in our line of work,
- being police officers. - Mm-hmm.
At the end of the day,
we got beautiful families, a beautiful city
that supports us, and we're gonna go back home
- and-and keep rocking. - We had a blast.
- Yeah, it was a blast. - You know, we really had a blast.
No regrets. Thank you, Amazing Race.
MICHAEL: This meant the world to the singing cops.
MOE: I actually feel better about this loss
- than the last one. - It don't sting as hard as the first one.
KEOGHAN: Next time on The Amazing Race,
Ryan and Dusty make the climb.
DUSTY: Oh, my God.
The Stairway to Heaven.
I'm cramping real bad here.
(groans)
KEOGHAN: And Sheri takes the plunge.
SHERI: Oh, my goodness, I can't even look.
AKBAR: Crazy scary.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
