Previously on The Amazing Race Australia... Go on, Easton, Paul, turn it in!
Yeah!
..teams turned on each other... Race, come on!
Sarah, you're killing me here, babe.
James, is anyone talking?
No, we're going to stop talking.
..and on Paul and Steve.
Don't look at me like you're going to kill me.
Then it's time for Evil Paul to come out.
..the workmates where you turned for a second time... Sorry about that, boys.
It's time to make a smackdown on them all.
..but came back to win the leg.
You're the first team to arrive.
Father and daughter team Ross and Taryn couldn't complete the roadblock.
Yeah, if I let it down here, you're the bottom of the world.
But escape to elimination.
You must come first in the next leg or suffer a 30-minute penalty.
Eight teams remain.
Who will be eliminated tonight?
Yes, I'm talking now!
Istanbul, Turkey.
This 2,500-year-old city straddles both Europe and Asia and was
once the capital of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires.
The Istanbul Archaeological Museum is a reminder of this history and is now the
starting point for the sixth leg as teams continue to race around the world.
Make your own foot to the rim, Hamimi.
Teams must now make their way to the Harim Hamami, a
traditional Turkish bath built in the 16th century.
Teams will need to wash and scrub each other with
a bar of soap until they reveal their next clue.
We have $90 for this leg of the race.
I was so excited to come first on the last leg.
Feels like it's been a long time coming.
But you turned two legs in a row, and it's fired us up.
If anything, the threat on us has just increased.
We must wash and scrub each other with the bar of soap provided.
The first challenge had us go to some baths.
There was an ambiguous clue.
It just said, wash each other and then find your clue.
Watch it.
Don't break it.
When we realised we had to strip down and actually wash each other...
I'm rather awkward.
I never imagined myself washing another man's armpits.
Scrub hard to reveal your next clue.
Out of all the teams so far, the only team we
have a grudge against is really Paul and Steve.
Paul has really rubbed, I think, nearly
everybody in the competition up the wrong way.
It's always after I eat, we have to get into our faces.
We're determined to beat Paul and Steve.
Someone's got to beat him, and I reckon it's got to be us.
Don't worry, it won't get you here.
Whilst washing each other, we started to realise, hey,
we've got to dissolve the soap as quickly as possible.
Doing putting in the water more, rubbing it on us more, we'll get rid of it faster.
We decide, look, let's just lay down so there's less travel time between our
dipping in the water bucket and actually applying the soap to each other.
Once we get the clue, then we're out of here, mate.
I'm not touching you anymore.
I think the team that will find this most
uncomfortable will probably be Grace and Jo.
I know I wouldn't feel comfortable washing myself.
I don't know if you'll come for washing you.
Right, this is our detour.
Thank you, sir.
Detour, shine or design.
In this detour, teams must choose between two
forms of commerce found on the streets of Istanbul.
Their choice, shine or design.
In shine, teams must locate these shoeshine stores, then convince 10 paying
customers to have their shoes shined for no less than four Turkish lira each.
Shining shoes can be done quickly, but competition for customers is fierce.
In design, teams must make their way to the nearby
Egyptian bazaar and find a marked carpet stall.
Then choose a photo of an exotic Turkish pattern and search
among hundreds of carpets until they find a perfect match.
But before they can perform the detour, teams will face this yield.
A yield allows one team to force another team
to stop racing for a fixed amount of time.
If a team is yielded, they must turn this hourglass
over and wait for the sand to run out before moving on.
We're doing shine.
Who do you want to yield?
I don't know.
Who do you want to yield?
We had to quickly strategise.
Who do we want to yield?
Do we want to yield or not?
You've got to look for a yield box.
It's very warm in here.
It's hot.
Don't break the soap, whatever you do.
Yeah, I think we had a bit of fun there, bathing yourselves.
I'll give you this underarm.
Oh, yeah.
You don't have to smell them, do you?
It was nice and warm.
There was no sand, there was no mud, there was no
bugs, so it was definitely one challenge for us.
This could be someone's fantasies, twins running down each other's backs.
Make your way on foot to the Hurram Hamani.
Scrub high to reveal your next clue.
You have $90 for this leg of the race.
Let's do it.
We're not stressing too much.
There's a couple of legs now where I have been pretty stressful
for a few teams, and I seem to be making a few teams crack.
Just I think our laid-back personalities are really helping us at the moment.
We surprised a few people when they came in.
How do you guys want some partners?
We asked the twins if they wanted to swap
partners, but they knew that they weren't keen.
I'm not sure what stick-in team we're up to, but I'm sure they had a peek or two.
Spending so much time together, I've learnt things about Grace that I didn't even know.
So I'm learning new things about her every leg, and she's improving with my eyes.
Thank you.
It was so therapeutic, so relaxing.
You'll have your brothers scrub, and then you just
slide back on this really warm, marble stance.
A little bit awkward, but... It was so awkward, but it was just really beautiful.
Here, here, here!
We choose to yield Michelle and Joe so we
can slow them down from catching up to first.
It would serve no purpose to yield anyone that is in
the back, so we felt, let's just increase our lead.
Bang, bang.
Completely strategic.
Not completely strategic.
Not completely personal at all.
Is this it?
Yeah.
Shushan.
You're beauty.
We decided to do shine.
Come here before they're asking.
So let's go this plug.
Sir.
No, he's on his phone.
Excuse me, sir.
Shushan for all of us here only.
Shushan?
The most difficult part of the challenge quickly became apparent was to convince
people to become our customers and pay for Lyra to have their shoes shined.
Ma 'am, would you like your shoes shined?
From Australia.
We can help you out.
Me!
Whenever I was asking people, they'd just go, like, I don't trust you, look.
Would you like your shoes polished?
They don't like me.
Like, get away from me.
Like, you're going to try to steal my shoes or something.
Ma'am, this is tough.
Alright, here we go.
Scrub hard to reveal.
Your next clue.
You have $90 for this leg of the race.
Family is the most important thing to Shane and I.
We're both married, and we've both got two kids that we miss heaps.
We try not to discuss home too much because we will get upset.
We use it more as inspiration.
Come on, come with me.
Alright, that's some fun.
Yeah, thank you, sir.
Steve is definitely better than I am at hustling the crowd and getting people over.
Got two here, sir.
Take a seat, please, sir.
He's got the used car salesman in him.
Nice shoes.
Very nice shoes.
We knew if the girls got to have a shoe shine the same time as us, that
they'd probably poach the customers a lot more easier than we would.
We really had to hurry.
Good man, thank you very much.
Deto.
Deto is shine or design.
He's must pass the yield board.
On the crew, it did say that there was going to be a yield ahead.
We have a really bad feeling in it.
Yielded.
It's a slightly different race when you're not on your own at the back.
I think every time we improve somewhat.
Yeah.
We're confident now.
Well.
Try not to enjoy it, alright?
Not enjoying this.
Better than lathering up my sister anyway.
I want to know what it's like to tell it again.
She hasn't actually shaved her legs for a couple of days, so it worked pretty good.
It was like sandpaper.
With the toes, Joanne, I've got a puppy in there.
There's a toe.
In the toe.
I did your whole body.
Do my toe.
I've never poached my own shoes, let alone someone else's.
We had to do five pairs of shoes each.
The price we had to charge per shoe shine was four.
It was the same as the local professionals charging.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate it.
We did get ripped off by one Turkish dude.
We need four!
He gives us two, and then shoots off and has a lapel.
He ran off with his old shackle.
So I need to get one more.
Do we?
Are you kidding me?
Vince, let's do the vanilla.
All right.
Good work.
Thank you very much.
Good work.
Detour.
Shine or design?
That's on.
Yes!
Thank you.
Detour, shine or design?
I can shine.
Shine.
We're going to go for shine.
Yeah, we're going to design.
All right, let's go and find some carpet.
It's over there, Cheryl.
It's over there.
There's two faces already on it.
And we've been yielded by our favourite friends.
Very slow sand, our glass.
Watching that sand drop was excruciating.
We were worried that all the teams were going to catch up to us.
Then every grain of sand that Steve and Paul
were getting further and further away from us.
I just thought it was never going to end.
We are going to beat the boys even to the damn pit stop because they're stupid.
That's just really put a bad taste in my mouth about Paul altogether.
No one likes someone who plays dirty.
I don't really have an opinion on Paul.
I just don't need to be his friend.
No, not now.
Game on.
This is the Egyptian bazaar.
We went through the Egyptian bazaar with Sticky and Sam.
In here.
Yeah.
And we found the carpet place.
It smells like my grandma's house.
You reckon them all for an ounce, Colin?
Yeah.
We chose the carpet we were going to look for.
That's the one we've chosen.
So we'll see how we go.
That one looks easiest.
So we've chosen this carpet here.
All right, mate, let's find it.
There was seven stacks of carpet, probably about two metres high.
I reckon about this six.
No.
No, no, no.
There's hundreds and hundreds of carpets all stacked up.
I thought, maybe we're a bit more than we can chew here.
It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
I reckon this is our best chance in here.
The colours?
Do you reckon?
Because they're lighter.
We just knew this was going to be a hard day at the office.
Have a look at that one.
Was it no good?
Nuck.
Yes.
Thank you.
Due to our shine or design?
It's just your shine.
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
Aww.
We're very happy to get that challenge out of the way.
Thanks, mate.
Thank you.
Travel our taxi to Rumeleschi Sari and search for your next clue.
Teams must now travel to the 15th-century fortress called Rumeli Castle.
Once inside, they'll discover an intersection.
All teams must mutually agree to work together
with another team to complete the next challenge.
Do you know Rumeleschi Sari?
You... OK?
Yep.
I'm sure the twins...
I'd like to think they wouldn't take it too personally.
Boom!
All right.
OK.
We're determined to beat the alpha males seriously.
They're always just one step in front of us.
Where did you get your shoes shot?
This way, sir.
Let me hear you do it.
We had to shine shoes, and there was a lot of males around, so we just thought it
would be pretty easy to get guys' attention to come over and get their shoes shined.
Please help us.
For Turkish loot, we shine your shoes.
Two Australians shining your shoes.
We used our assets.
Oh.
Shall we go find someone else?
I think the boys would have struggled with it, but
we never had any issues getting the money off them.
Do you mind if we could please clean your shoes, please?
Thank you.
Oh, no.
Intersection.
Unfortunately, we yielded the second-place team, so we've actually
pushed away the closest team that we could do the intersection with.
Yay!
Next shoe, please.
We had to change the shoe shine every time we had a
different colour pair of shoes, so we're going for black.
Just leather shoes.
Perfect.
She's so good.
We never had to run away in search for a customer.
We had all 10 lined up straight away, so we did catch up some time on that challenge.
That's one layer of change.
Thank you, sir.
Have a good day.
Ta-da-da-da!
Hi, how are you?
How you guys going?
Hey, guys.
You want a shoe shine?
Come, shoe shine.
Hold on, I'll dance.
All right, come.
We need a shoe shine.
Being flirtatious really works.
Come on!
I think that's the strength that I have over Joseph.
Four lira.
That's it.
Come on!
I didn't think it was going to be so challenging
getting men to have me polish their shoes.
Four lira, shoe shine.
Four please.
Four lira, shoe shine.
They would see you, but they would just ignore you.
Four lira, that's it.
High five.
Come on.
Ready?
Turkish men, especially the oldies, so stubborn.
I recognise the design that looks similar to the one Sticky and Sam had.
Always, that's very similar to yours.
Yeah, that's it, I think.
Boys, I think you've done it.
How are you doing?
I think we've found the right one here, mate.
Cool.
Looks all right.
Cool.
Awesome.
We've got our crew, but the coppers are the ones who actually found our rug for us.
And we found it, so we're going to go up there and give them
a bit of a hand for a couple of minutes so they can help out.
You don't mind?
Not at all, mate.
That's our pat.
And that was very good.
They could have just burnt us.
It won't probably stay forever.
Oh, you can't stay forever, but if you can help us.
Yeah, right.
Very fast.
Very good.
Well done, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Travel by taxi to Rommel y Hishari.
Go, guys.
So, we're going to get people four litre and I'll shine your shoes.
I'll do a great job, please.
Being teachers, I think one of our forte's is mixing with people and
convincing people to do things even if they really don't want to do it.
I will shine your shoes for four litre, cheapest shoes.
Please, come.
Yes, I got one.
I got one.
Please, sit down.
Lovely.
I reckon it's light.
It's just got those arrows available for them.
Classic coppers.
They chose the most complex little piece of carpet to find.
And there's probably ten that looked a little bit like it, but not quite.
Damn close.
Yeah, that's a... We probably wasted half an hour and 45 minutes up
there, just being the good Samaritans that we are.
You've done these ones?
Yeah, mate.
Those two.
They were in an awkward position.
Yeah.
Because they probably were going to give us maybe 20 minutes, initially.
And then they felt bad because we couldn't find it.
They just kept going and going.
Here we go.
It's not the same, but it might be worth a go.
Damn close.
It's not it.
We're out of here.
Off to the shoes.
It's all right.
It's too hot in here, mate.
How are we going, sir?
Don't look too hard, please.
Close your eyes, blickers.
Off, watch.
Off to the shoes.
We would have stayed up there until they found it if they didn't want to swap.
Yeah.
Traveled by taxi to Ramiel Isari.
You've got a small foot.
You know what they say about small feet.
We've got a queue of people waiting for their shoes.
Thank you, thank you.
They're all waiting.
We have got, like, the hottest stalling in Stambu.
What would you say?
Would you say we were flooding?
Yeah.
Yeah, probably.
Take a seat.
My stunning specimen of a man.
We've been waiting to do some hardcore purving.
Yes.
And we've been struggling to find good looking men.
And we've been very, very patient.
Very, very patient.
Very patient.
And Turkey has delivered.
Oh, take a look at this guy, man.
One of our customers today was like a God's gift.
And Lucy was beside herself.
I don't even know this guy's name.
What he does.
You know, we don't communicate very well.
I guess that's typical of a lot of relationships.
Not that I'm calling this a relationship just yet.
If I lived in Istanbul, I'm sure we'd be dating by now.
I wish this shoe shining could go on all day.
But unfortunately, I've got to move on.
Please do you.
So you have to give him four.
And you can give me your number, but I can't
call you anyway because I don't have my phone.
Thank you so much.
It's been an absolute pleasure.
Wow, I can go home now.
Scrub hard to review next clue.
You have $90 for this leg of your race.
Okay, let's go.
We just had so much pressure lately.
It's pressure on top of pressure.
Going and knowing that we couldn't be last.
Yeah.
We had to jump in front of Taron and Ross.
It was tough.
Let's get that water.
Big step on the side.
Have another water.
It was really, today, just us versus them.
Change rooms.
We're really on the back foot at this stage for
not completing the challenge in the last leg.
Whatever Taron says, I was the one who didn't come through.
I can't do it.
I'm not doing it again.
We should have just taken it for her.
Sarah certainly doesn't have the physical ability as what Taron carries.
I'd rather be competing against Sarah than James and Stephen Ford.
Sarah was just having too much fun, just sliding around.
She was just rolling around, just sliding everywhere.
Sit down and you're done.
It's just a waiting game now.
Honestly, it would be a bit surprising if the twins outright
said, no, we don't want to do it with you because you yielded us.
It has felt like all the other teams are against us and we were just
concerned that potentially they'll push us right to the back of the pack.
Oh, well, intersection with our favourite boys.
We arrived and the first thing we saw was the
intersection and our best friends waiting for us.
You guys want to work together?
Yeah, sure.
Let's do it.
We decided not to bring up the yield.
We didn't want to give anyone the opportunity not to choose us.
Let's just work together, guys, OK?
It was probably too risky for them as well to not go with us.
Let's go into the fortress and break through a line of Turkish oil wrestling.
Oil wrestling has been Turkey's national sport for more than 700 years.
In this challenge, one of the four team members must make it past
their opponent and reach this antique lamp to receive their next clue.
So, where's our opponent?
So, we had to get dressed up in this bit of a lighter and get up.
Pretty much just lathered each other up and all and ready to go.
Oh, shit!
Oh, thank you!
They were big boys.
They made me look tiny.
Yeah!
We don't even equal one of them, like our wits, together.
He's going to kill me!
He's huge!
The biggest guy of the Turkish wrestlers actually
looked at me and made it clear that I'm his.
Yeah!
Oh, he's taking it!
Don't touch me.
We did have a strategy.
We decided that it was going to be...
three working really hard wrestling and one sort of snaking the way to the genie net.
The guy actually did a belly flop and just landed on me.
Oh, my gosh.
They knocked us around.
Like, we were like little toys.
After maybe 20 seconds of wrestling, I was already on the
floor with somebody's body on top of me and I yelled, stop.
Round two came.
I just stood on the side.
I didn't want to get involved.
I didn't want to get hurt.
Get it!
Picked it up, my mum.
We won the challenge.
All of a sudden, something happened to my left.
I realised my sister was on the floor.
Get some ice.
Someone get some ice, please.
Don't move.
I was so scared.
Like, I thought... I seriously thought I broke my neck or something had happened.
The Turkish man's arm was, like, this big.
And I just got, like, the biggest uppercut.
There I went.
I was down.
Sorry, boys.
We're holding you up again.
You yield us.
You have to wait for me.
I literally had to suck it up and get out of there because
I was thinking there's going to be teams here any minute.
Who wants to give it a whirl?
Teams are now released from the intersection.
And must travel to Istanbul's old city to find the whirling dervishes.
Members of this Sufi group perform a meditational
dance as a form of spiritual devotion.
The team member performing this roadblock must spin continuously for
five minutes before the master dervish hands them their next clue.
Leaving from the intersection, we realised at that point, OK, it's game on again.
It's each team for themselves.
We need a taxi.
We got with you.
We followed them, OK?
I feel really bad that Jo's doing another roadblock.
And then I can't help her.
You can do it, Joey.
Still a bit fresh, isn't it?
No, it's really not.
Need to wait for the next team, so... Who knows who it could be?
But the girls have caught us now.
We've got to do five each.
Five each.
Just as we got there for the shoeshine, Lucy and Amelia were just finishing.
Yeah.
So we're Jo and Grace.
Yeah, that's right.
We're done.
We finished.
Thank you very much.
Thanks a lot.
Yeah, thanks, Jerky.
Travel bus, taxi to Ramalashari and search for your next clue.
Let's go.
So, shoeshine?
Nah.
Shoeshine?
We were the only ones.
It was like a bit of a ghost town.
Shoeshine?
Can we shine your shoes for four lira?
The lunch hour crowded behind Wusca, they're all gone.
Australian shoeshine?
No.
No?
The hard part was when you did approach that month, they'd just fob you off.
Some of them wouldn't even look at you.
Some would see you coming, and they'd just run the other way.
Australian shoeshine.
Hello!
It's hard work.
Hang on.
I should do it on you now.
What are you doing?
Can't be clean, you guys.
Detour.
It's fine.
Thank you very much.
We actually left the bath area before James and Sarah.
We made up a heap of time in there.
Detour.
Shine or design?
What are we going to do?
Shine.
Let's go.
Hope it's not falling.
Yeah, me can be.
Go.
Shoeshine?
No, no, no.
OK.
Shoeshine?
No.
You want shoeshine?
Please, please, come in here.
Come in here.
Once we drag the punters in, we just rip through the shoes.
There's not a problem in the world.
Feel like I'm back at the academy days.
Back in the police academy.
Get the strap if you don't get them done properly.
Read this word.
There's no point doing it just then.
Taren and Ross left before us, so we had to kick it into gear and stop it.
Yeah, stop having too much fun.
Thank you.
Shine or design?
James, do you pick?
Shine.
Where do you shine?
Get your bag, get it back.
Ah, yes.
Work with us, team.
Work with us.
Break through a line of the turkey.
Oil wrestlers.
Thank you.
Oh, no.
It's an intersection.
So we've got to pray to God that those policemen shine some shoes quick, smart.
Ah, thank you very much.
Now, there was a nice gentleman, and he had a young son.
He looked like my son.
I will give you a little boy something now from Australia.
How old is your little boy there?
Three years old.
I have a son.
He is 11.
I was missing my kids and family.
They're away for a long period of time, and they want to see their dad.
And I want to see them.
We'll see if this will cheer that little fella up.
A kangaroo.
You give this to your little fella.
Hey, look!
Oi!
Are you happy?
Just the look on his face and the smile.
He might have made my son at home.
Give me a fight.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Have a good day.
Finally.
Thank you very much.
Search for your next clue.
Does he know where it is?
Yep.
Beautiful.
Should have made me down the shoe shine first.
And that's the wait, guys.
Those rugs are my heart.
Those rugs are bloody hell.
Having those guys come out shirtless, it was beautiful.
I had my eye on one.
Oh, my goodness.
Grace is up in the clouds.
She's not concentrating on the challenge, which is a bit concerning, but...
Fortunately, I had some jujitsu background skills.
I managed to push one of the guys out of the way.
Who wants to give it a well?
I'll do it if you want.
I'll do it.
We were neck and neck with the twins.
Yeah.
The cheerleaders, I feel like they'll probably breeze through this.
I can't afford to make any mistakes.
We had to get dressed up in the row.
You actually had to kiss to get up that they were putting you in.
I think that was a sign of respect.
This looks so peaceful with their arms in the air twirling.
It looked really easy.
I was like, got in the bag.
I will explain, and he's going to show you.
OK.
The first thing we had to do is learn the dance.
Ooh, yeah.
You had religious significance, so you had to make sure that you got everything right.
Right, and face up.
Left and face down.
Yes.
You had to pivot on one leg, and you had to have your
hands up in a special position with your head tilted.
Lean your head towards your right.
Maintain your speed.
You had to also keep your balance, and then you spin
at a certain speed to get the rope up above the ground.
Whoo!
All right.
That's tough.
I was thinking my head spinning for a minute
would make me dizzy, so five minutes, whoa.
When you are ready, you can join the other delicious.
You need ten people, Dad.
I'm going to... Ten people, read the clue while you're there.
Who needs a shoeshine?
There's Taryn and Ross.
It was Taryn and Ross versus Sarah and James today.
We got to the shoeshining, and they were already there shining loads of shoes.
I'm very quick.
I know you're right.
Having shined the kids' shoes many times, I had no problem from my point of view.
You say, you say, you say.
Come on, come on.
Come on.
They're scared of me, I think.
I'm going to get the old blouse.
I think I think they're easy to target.
What do you want to do, James?
We have to add some value to this shining of the shoes.
I can do massage, eye massage.
Yeah.
Come on, come on.
Here we go.
Sarah is actually giving them a bonus back
massage, so Dad needs to start working some magic.
Go, go, go!
Hey!
Bonus!
We had to spend for a full five minutes, and I was just worried about getting dizzy.
I was so focused on not making a mistake, I was just sort of going...
You looked constipated.
That was your face.
Even though we started the roadblock first, I knew that Steve's got to
get this right the first go, because if we don't, the twins probably will.
I had to make sure I kept my eyes in a set position, because
if I tried to look around and move them, then I'd get dizzy.
I think the dizziness started probably within the first 20 seconds.
I physically felt ill.
My head was just spinning.
Oh, my gosh, I'm going to bring up my food.
I was like, oh!
Oh!
And I don't know whether I stepped on the back of my
cloak or what happened, but anyway, I ended up on my back.
You got a spot for.
Once I fell, I had to start again, a whole other five minutes of spinning.
It was hell.
This is it here.
Like a castle.
Oh, intersection.
Are you waiting for us?
Finally, they turned down.
We were really excited when they came round that corner.
Break through a line of Turkish oil wrestlers.
One of us has to pick them up and barrel the bangers.
Oh, my gosh.
They were monsters.
They look like they should have been half back in the oil black street.
Yeah, or WWF, yeah.
I love this one.
I just plung on to the one at the end.
Just a big bear cuddle and just stood there.
You just wanted a cuddle.
Yeah, I did.
I tried to sort of barrel through between two of them.
I got the big mitt out.
The long arm of the law.
It's a roadblock.
Who wants to give it a whirl?
I will.
You sure?
Okay.
I'll give it a whirl.
Your turn, buddy.
Yes, another Aussie shoeshine.
We were in the shoeshine and the pressure was really on.
We were fighting James and Sarah for customers.
Do you want to come down?
Strong lesson.
Dad, what are we up to?
Lesser seven.
Seven, okay.
I'm trying.
Dad, we're going to do five each.
Told you to read this.
Okay.
Sit down.
Obviously cost us a little bit of time there.
So we're going to do five each.
So we're just wasted two.
To my massive surprise, Jo ended up falling over.
That gave me actually a little bit of confidence because I
thought, well, if I can just keep it up, we're out of here.
Coming.
I was trying to concentrate on stay standing up, stay standing up.
She was going to keep up, but you could see
it in her face, you could see it in her eyes.
If you stop again, that's another five minutes of absolute torture.
I knew I was really close to the end.
Don't fail me out.
You don't want to have to start again.
Thank you.
Lesser seven.
Thank you very much.
Told foot to the next pit stop.
Istanbul's biggest mosque and oldest university are in the old city district,
surrounding the historic Bayezid Square, the pit stop for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
All right, last team arrive may be eliminated.
Let's do this.
Jo, you're going to get it, you're going to get it, you're going to get it.
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
I'm going to run my heart up to this pit stop.
Those boys don't deserve it.
Nearly there, Joi.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
We're there, we're there, we're there.
Joi, it's a pit stop.
We've got to go, we've got to go.
Come on.
She pretty much dragged me out of the place.
Hari, the last team to arrive may be eliminated.
Here.
Bayezid Square.
Because it was so close with the girls, we knew
we couldn't afford to make any wrong turns.
And now I need a pay because I'm running.
All right, thank you.
Thank you.
I need to lead.
Bayezid Square up there.
Yeah, yeah, thank you.
I'm very sure I'll hop there.
Welcome to Istanbul, Turkey.
Thank you.
Ballin State.
Give me the good news, baby.
You are team number one.
Guys, that's not all.
As winners of this leg, you will receive a
state-of-the-art computer package from Bing Lee.
It's valued at $5,000.
Excellent.
And it's all yours to enjoy after the race.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
We're on a great leg.
We'll see you soon.
Thank you.
Most other teams have tried to stop us already.
It hasn't quite worked.
Right now, the only people that could really stop us is us.
Michelle and John, you're the second team to arrive.
Thank you.
Oh, we survived.
A four-liter, yeah, four-liter.
And I'll massage, and he will do your shoe.
Yep.
You go to your job.
Yes.
Make socks.
Oh, fair enough.
He should be working with his wife.
We've got another five to go.
We're going to go fast, team.
Yep, yep.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Search for your next clue.
All right, let's go.
How many do they have to do?
Oh, they were struggling at the time.
We picked up a few minutes there.
It's important.
Every minute's important, right?
Yeah, right.
All right.
Let's go.
I'm not the best dancer at 12, I say.
You twirl around for a minute, you get dizzy, so you're trying
to just keep balance at that stage just after the first minute.
It was really tough.
All right.
Your right arm was in the air, and the other arm was
out straight, basically, and your head was on an angle.
And that was basically it, and you just spun around.
You look like a china doll.
That's what it was.
I kind of like the way Sticky was twirling, because he was doing it so gracefully.
We just chose him.
He just looked like a lunatic, just twirling around in a circle.
I felt really bad for him.
Intersection.
Bloody intersection.
Wasted the hard work.
Here goes L.A.
There we go.
The point is pain.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, thank you.
Travel by taxi.
Two.
How do you say this?
Eliminate Saturday.
Four, two...
Travel on foot to next pit stop.
Hurry, the last time you may be eliminated.
Here we go.
Where are we?
Hurry, the last time you may be eliminated.
Get that dress off, mate.
Let's go.
Whirling dirty.
Five minutes without stopping to receive your next clue.
Oh, mate, it could be a dizzy thing.
Well, that's good, because I'm no good at that.
But either am I.
Is this the right street?
We've got a taxi to the roadblock.
He says, oh, it's just around the corner.
It's this street.
It's the next street.
Reckons number six is up here.
On the left, this is six.
So I reckon there should be a mark here.
If there's not, we're in strike.
We found number six.
I'll never forget the look.
We'll look up and we'll go, oh, it wasn't there.
We're no flags or anything there.
No.
Yeah, no, we're in strike.
Oh, yeah.
We can't understand, mate.
It was a real magical feel to the room.
Wow.
That was beautiful.
That room was so beautiful.
Five minutes is a very long time to be spinning.
And I knew this was a mind game that I just had to get over by
thinking about anything other than the fact that I was spinning.
Thank you, God.
Stay with me, God.
When I realised that the dance was actually a
prayer, I thought, oh, that's actually really nice.
It's a prayer to say thanks for everything.
And we have so much to be grateful for, so I really
just spent a lot of that time just chanting to myself.
Thank you, God.
Joseph and Grace.
Yes.
You're the third team to check in.
Good stuff.
Not bad.
That's all we wanted.
Sticky and Sam?
Yeah.
You're the fourth team to check in.
Good work, mate, putter.
English.
Who speaks English?
We're looking for Superhane Shoak number six.
Where the wall is.
That is this.
That is this place here.
Exactly.
Thank you very much.
You're a good man.
Let's go.
Finally.
When I got in there and Amelia was ahead of us, and she seemed
like she was going okay, I thought, this will be interesting.
I'll either go A over T or I'll do it.
Okay.
I think I look very okay.
I just didn't feel right.
Like a broken teapot.
She's a dizzy.
Go, get up, buddy.
What's the section?
Hey, guys.
What's going on?
That's not fun.
We were relieved to see the guys there because it meant that
we had caught up and it was back to level playing field.
These guys were all showing their game as it turned out.
Trying to flex the muscles that used to be there.
Oh, my God.
Who wants to give it a whirl?
You give it a whirl.
I'll give it a whirl.
It's up to you.
Yeah, I'll give it a whirl.
You do it?
Okay, you can do it.
Let's do it.
When I wasn't thinking about it, it was okay.
And then I'd come back and I think, I can't do this and I'm going to fall.
I could feel my legs giving way.
I really thought she was going to faint, so I couldn't watch.
I was trying to zone out.
Oh, are you serious?
Thank you, my God.
Thank you, God.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Yeah, I got a bit emotional.
Was it good and good emotional, I think?
You know, we're away from home and... and I really am grateful to be here, so...
I'm so proud of you.
That was great fun.
You looked fantastic doing it.
I was really wobbly.
I just started to get a bit dizzy.
It could stop.
Another minute, I would have been gone, I think.
Whoa.
Harry, the last team arrived to arrive maybe eliminated.
Let's go.
All right, taxi.
Leaving the intersection, we're now back on even keel.
With James and Sarah, head to head, this is our last chance.
This is a do or die.
Chris has got a knee.
Take a seat, take a seat.
We're the first cabaret way, so we're pretty pleased at that stage.
You got very fast, OK?
Yeah!
Lucy and Amelia?
Yeah.
You're the fifth team to arrive.
Shane and Andrew, you're team number six.
Come on.
Well done.
Whoever comes last out of us will be eliminated, so... Gotcha.
We just need to hopefully come in front of them at the end.
Ross and Taryn got in a cab first.
Ah, very cool.
Yay!
They didn't even see us.
Oh, good boy!
We took over Ross and Taryn.
I don't think they've realised that we've just cut ahead of them.
Yeah.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
OK, let's go.
Hello.
To our disappointment, when we entered the roadblock, James
and Sarah, who had obviously left behind us, were there.
I was just really nervous because I knew that if I screwed it up and we
had to start again, then we would have lost that little lead that we had.
Come on, Dad.
Keep going.
You're doing really well.
I knew I had to do this with Taryn.
I had to grip the teeth.
Just had to do it.
Had to get it done in one day.
I was just telling myself, just put up with the sickness and the pain,
once for five minutes, no matter what it is, and then you'll be done.
Thank you.
Travel on foot to Nick's pit stop.
Dad, you've got 30 seconds.
Just go for it.
Five minutes of twirling was absolute agony.
It seemed an eternity.
Harry, the last team to arrive may be eliminated.
You all right, James?
Excuse me.
Are you all set square?
Really?
Straight down.
Thank you.
Where is his place?
Around here, Dad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you sure?
Sarah and James, you're the seventh team to check in.
You're safe.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Ross and Taryn, you're the last team to arrive,
and I'm sorry to tell you, you are out of the race.
Well... Is that proud of you?
How many people get to do the things and go
to the places I've done with their daughter?
They have an absolute ball all the way.
It's been a privilege watching you race and watching you together.
Take care and goodbye.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Coming into the race, hoping to prove to Dad that I am strong and he'll probably always see me as his little girl but just
prove to him that I can do things on my own and I just want him to still be proud of me as always and I know he will, but...
I guess when you set high standards at some stage, you're prone to fail.
We leave knowing full well that we've tried our best, we've
worked our hardest, and we're as strong as we've always been.
That's something we're very proud of.
Next time... What a pair of spares!
The City of Love... Oh, my God, it's the Eiffel Tower!
...becomes the City of Hate... Get in, get in, it's on us, it's taxi.
Joseph and Grace have stolen our taxi.
Jesus Christ, it could cost us the race.
Sarah and James, I want them out of the game.
The biggest leg yet... This is the point where teams break...
...will test teams like never before.
Don't you have no idea how hard this is to drive, OK?
