[Grant] Previously on The Amazing Race Australia…
That's the last time you make a decision.
As the race hit Cuba, a marathon leg took its toll on the twins…
I don't wanna let her down.
-…and on James and Sarah. -Oh, dear.
Why do you butt heads with me? Just go with it.
Workmates Paul and Steve won the leg…
-You're team number one. -[whoops]
…but Sticky and Sam struggled on the streets of Havana…
Very frustrating.
…and finished last.
I'm sorry to tell you, you're out of the race.
Six teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?
[Grant] The island nation of Cuba.
It was once cut off from the world by communist revolutionaries,
but now this Caribbean country opens its doors to visitors.
Its capital city, Havana, is dominated by the Capitol Building,
the former seat of the Cuban congress.
This grand building is now the starting point of the ninth leg,
as teams continue to race around the world.
"Fly to Vancouver, Canada."
[Grant] All teams will now fly to Vancouver, Canada.
This coastal city hosted the last Winter Olympics
and is ranked as one of the best places to live in the world.
Teams must search for these totem poles at Stanley Park.
When the chief has blessed them, they'll receive their next clue.
-All right. Let's go. -Yeah.
International airport.
Our confidence levels are pretty good right now.
We don't wanna get too ahead of ourselves
and brag about winning the race until it's happened.
I look forward to some snow challenges,
with other teams maybe getting hypothermia, sooking.
But we'll be just loving it.
-"Fly to Vancouver, Canada." -Yeah!
That's where we wanted! You ripper!
We were second. Good to be at the top for once.
-Yeah, it was nice to be at the top. -Actually a different feeling, isn't it?
'Cause when you've come from the bottom, it toughens you up a bit, doesn't it?
We'll have to see what happens at the airport, eh?
Who knows? The race is the race, isn't it?
When we arrived at the airport, none of the flight desks were open yet.
Toronto is Canada, yeah?
"Fly to Vancouver, Canada." Boom!
Canada. Yeah!
[whooping]
[Michelle] We wanna be the first all-girl team
to win The Amazing Race Australia.
We just wanna stay top three until the final,
and that's when we're gonna push forward.
Boom!
Hello. We need to go to the airport. Okay?
We have spent a lot of time arguing.
"…to Vancouver. Make your way to the totem poles."
Totem poles are those bloody things I think you have to climb up.
What?
He gets stressed out by me. I know he does.
[speaking Spanish]
[James] Normally when we have arguments, I need space.
Being on the race, we don't ever have space away from each other,
so I've just gotta grit my teeth.
I don't know how we still wanna speak to each other some days,
but… but we do.
-"Fly to Vancouver, Canada." -Yay!
-Yes! That's awesome! -Canada!
My T-shirt says "Running 4 Mum."
This is a T-shirt Emilia made, 'cause she inspires us,
and we're hoping that she realizes how much she inspires us.
She's a little fighter of a woman, and she's been battling cancer this year.
She takes every day and is grateful for it.
She teaches us that anything's possible if you have the right attitude.
So, for us, it's about having the right attitude
-and never giving up. -Yeah.
-"Fly to Vancouver, Canada." -Canada!
Starting in last position, we knew that we shouldn't panic.
Thank you.
We were over the moon when everyone was waiting.
You couldn't actually purchase your tickets until 6:00,
so it meant that we weren't in last position.
Eventually, when the desks did open up,
we found out we can actually get a connecting flight via Toronto.
Can I get two tickets to Toronto, please?
We all wanted to make the first flight to Vancouver.
We were here before you.
Just take a step back all right? You were behind us.
At this stage of the game, everyone's looking out for themselves.
So we're not gonna trust anyone,
'cause you never know what other people will do for $250,000.
All teams are now on a flight via Toronto,
arriving in Vancouver at 4:56 p.m.
Is it cold? Yes, it is.
Do you know Stanley Park?
-Let's go. -Thanks, buddy.
-Just get in, Grace. -Yeah.
Not enough cabs for everybody.
This is a taxi.
Oh, what, eh?
I know. We just don't wanna wait. We're in a race.
"Welcome to Vancouver."
The home of Anne of Green Gables and Bryan Adams.
Sir, we need to go to Stanley Park.
[both chuckle]
[James] We're headed for the totem poles.
We're all tuckered up into our cold clothing.
I'm used to being pretty hot,
-but right now I'm feeling extra hot. -Oh, God.
-I think that's Paul and Steve. -Of course it is.
-Catch that cab, buddy, in front. -We're in a race.
-There's another one coming on our right. -This will shatter him.
-Let's see the boys. -Beep, beep.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep! [laughing]
I think this is our leg!
[chanting]
-[Grace] Thank you, sir. -What are we gonna do here?
It was the First Nations ceremony dance. Some sort of a dance like this,
like you're a seagull or something flying around.
-I think it was an eagle. -An eagle?
[chanting continues]
Welcoming you here to Squamish territory.
Then we had to receive the necklace from the chief,
and that's when we got our next clue.
"Collect two paddles, then travel on foot to the Vancouver Rowing Club…"
"…and search for your next clue."
Just wait. Our bags are in the boot.
Thank you. Thanks again, mate. Thank you so much.
-Thank you. -"Collect two paddles…"
"…then travel on foot to the Vancouver Rowing Club."
"…and search for your next clue."
Rowing Club. To the right.
How are we gonna row in the dark?
To the totem poles.
-[men chanting] -[contestants laughing]
Whoo!
-This what you're looking for? -It certainly is.
[Grace] The place hasn't even opened. Ah!
8:30.
-Typical. -Damn.
We had to come back at 8:30 in the morning.
Now we're gonna go find a hotel for the night.
-"Hours of operation." -Get stuffed.
-So we've got a bit of a wait. -Right. 8:30, we're coming back.
[Shane] First ones here.
You beauty.
We arrived at the rowing club. There were five other teams there.
Sarah and James were nowhere to be found.
I set the alarm to go off an hour and a half ago.
-Yeah, but-- -Will you just…
-It's-- The time was wrong. -It's got nothing to do with the time.
Everybody else had a clock in their room like we did.
They knew what the time was, Sarah.
James says it was because I was doing my hair and makeup.
It's not the first time it happens that we're late because of…
whatever reason, you know?
Anyway.
It's a green one. Fast Forward.
[Grant] Teams will now have the chance to compete
for the only Fast Forward of the race
by traveling to this art studio, where they'll find their next clue.
The first team who completes the Fast Forward can skip all tasks
and go directly to the Pit Stop.
"Fast Forward available."
-Should we go? -Yep.
No matter what it is, if we see a Fast Forward, we're going for it.
What do you wanna do?
You guys going for it?
Let's go. Let's do it.
Go! The cops are going for it.
It was basically a footrace between the cops and ourselves to get a cab.
They were like the robbers, and we were chasing 'em down.
The cops are coming.
The rest of us went, "Okay, good.
Now that those two are gone, let's get on with it."
-"Travel by kayak…" -"…to the Harbour Green Park dock."
[Grant] Teams who do not complete the Fast Forward must now paddle
to this dock on the other side of the harbor.
Once there, they'll need to decipher a nautical phrase
using the marine flags on this yacht
to receive their next clue.
A nearby row of flags will provide a key to decode the message.
Now sit down on the edge and then put your feet in.
[Michelle] We jumped in the kayak first. It was smooth and steady.
It's, like, zero degrees outside,
and there was no way I was gonna be wet for the rest of the day.
Just go slow.
We didn't know which direction to go in, so we were just winging it.
Okay that's one way of getting in.
Lucy had to get into the canoe second, which I knew was gonna be a problem.
-Girl, you're gonna get in. It's fine. -No, I'm gonna fall in. Millie, stop.
-Stay calm. Stay calm. -Millie. I'm going to fall in, Millie.
You are if you're gonna think like that.
"Millie, the water's cold. I'm gonna fall. I'm gonna go in the water.
-I'm gonna fall." -I can't stand cold water.
-I'm too scared of falling in. -You're not gonna fall in.
If you fall in, you'll just get out. You're wearing a wet suit.
-Joe, can you help us? -Yeah.
[Lucy] Joe actually held the canoe so that it didn't topple.
Thank you so much, Joe.
-Just be careful, all right? -I owe you big-time, bro.
Go, Joe. Come on.
[Grace] The water is very, very cold.
It's about a 300-meter kayak in freezing cold waters.
Good hustle, Joe.
[Michelle] Just go slow.
She wouldn't let me paddle very hard at all.
She's like, "You're gonna rock the boat."
One, two. One, two.
Whoo! We're doing well. As long as we stay on the water and not under it,
we are happy.
[James] In our haste, 'cause we knew we were running a bit late,
we just jumped in the cab, completely forgot about paying for our accommodation.
-Either we go back now, or later. -Just wait.
-We might as well go back now. -Wait.
-Can you turn back? -Just hold on a second.
What's the difference, now or later?
We might as well go back now 'cause we're closer
than go all the way there, do the challenge, then come all the way back.
Do you understand?
Man, not a single cab.
We wanted to get to the Fast Forward first.
Let's go.
We're getting that Fast Forward. We've just gotta get a taxi.
Come on, you bugger.
We were neck and neck with Paul and Steve.
Taxi!
Can we get in? Can we get in? Quick.
We're in a race. We're in a race.
-Yeah, mate. We'll give you extra money. -We'll give you extra.
Please, please!
Oh, yeah!
No? He's not letting us in.
None of them were willing to take us on.
We saw Paul and Steve cross over and head up a side street.
Keep an eye on 'em, 'cause if they get one, forget it. We'll go back.
There's one up there. Oh, no, they're gonna get it!
Taxi? Come on.
-Where's he going? -What?
We were going for the Fast Forward. The cops were going for the Fast Forward.
Taxi. Come on. Taxi.
We were pushing with Paul and Steve to see who was gonna get there first.
Can we pay you to get out?
-Please, please! -[groans]
[Steve] Over there, over there.
We've gotta beat those guys that are running on foot there.
Ah! Missed it by that much.
It was heartbreaking for us when we saw Paul and Steve in that cab.
-You all right? -Can't take the risk now,
-'cause they'll do the Fast Forward. -Nah.
We've gotta go back.
Got a suspicion it's tattoos.
'Cause it has to be something pretty hard.
Tats is no big deal to you, though.
But if it is, we're committed to each other. If one of us are in for it…
-It's happening. -…I'll do it as well.
Try and look for a fisherman who can tell us where we're going.
[Michelle] We were looking for a marked boat.
-See those flags on that pole up there? -Then I spotted it.
Hang on. Wait. I'll hold on to the boat for you.
"Decipher a nautical phrase using the marine flags."
[Michelle] There were so many flags up and down the yacht,
and I was like, "I don't understand one bit whatsoever."
Why is it that anything to do with water we've got no freaking clue?
"Correctly decipher a nautical phrase using marine flags on the marked yacht."
This is like gobbledygook to me.
That can't be all there is.
When we first got to the boat, it was all a little bit confusing.
We're trying to spell out a nautical phrase using the flags on the yacht.
What even is a nautical phrase?
"Beam me up, Scotty" is not a nautical phrase.
We were supposed to be there at 8:30. We turned up late.
But we knew we had to pay for our hotel.
We can either, like, go for this and hope that we'll be able to go back…
-We need to just make a decision quickly. -Yeah.
-I think we still need to go back and pay. -Let's do it.
Do we have enough for a cab to get back to--
We got no money for no taxis.
They're not all countries' flags, though. That one's France,
but even then it's on the wrong way, so it could not be France.
[Jo] Are we looking for color coordination?
And then a lightbulb went off in my head.
All the flags on the dock, they're in order for some reason,
and I just went, "A, B, C, D, E, F, G,"
and counted if there was enough, and there was.
A, B, C.
We need help. Let's just try to get one.
So we ran off about 50 meters to a seaplane area.
It's like-- We have to decipher. But I don't know what the flags mean.
We actually googled "nautical maps."
This flag here shows echo, so that'll be E.
So then you'll be able to spell it out.
-Have fun. -Thank you.
Okay. Let's go, buddy.
We had to give up on the Fast Forward and get back in the game,
so we just jumped in 'cause we just wanted to get to that next challenge.
Right, left, right, left.
Steve and I were still wondering: This studio, what could it potentially be?
"Fast Forward."
Come on.
I saw the first two words were "Pose nude."
[Grant] To complete this Fast Forward,
teams must pose completely nude for a still-life art class.
When the students have finished their sketches, the team can get dressed,
skip all remaining challenges, and head straight to the Pit Stop.
-We're in it. -Yeah, we're in it.
We're doing this.
It's so cold! Why would you do this to us?
-Let's go. -What a classic.
It was pretty funny because only one team can do the Fast Forward,
so we were thinking, we better get naked as fast as possible
in case the cops catch up and get naked before us.
Do we go at the same time or…
-How are you feeling? -Nervous.
Can you turn the heat up a bit for me?
Okay. We're gonna pay for our bill that we forgot to pay for this morning,
unless you can give us some super-duper extra discount?
-How much cash do we have? -Got…
two, four, six…
The guys there were really good. They gave us--
-They gave us a discount. -Which was nice of them.
-Next question. -Yeah.
-We need to decipher a nautical phrase. -Okay.
Can you maybe google "nautical flags"?
[James] Sarah does have really good strengths.
She can just talk to people and she just-- I don't know what she does.
She has this thing where people are like, "You can have whatever you want."
-That is awesome. -No worries.
Thank you, darling. You've got lipstick on you. [blows kiss]
[Shane] That's it. Nearly there, buddy.
We get there and see the teams aren't far ahead of us
even though we probably lost half an hour.
A, B, C, D…
[Andrew] Straightaway, we thought, the first one will be A,
and it'll just carry through like that, which it did.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, yep.
So we think we've got it.
[Jo] "Three sheets to the wind, splice the mainbrace…"
"…weigh anchor and set sail."
Thank you very much.
The brains of the operation here. Figured it out.
"Detour: Toss or Tumble."
[Grant] In this Detour, teams must choose between two traditional skills
performed by Canadian lumberjacks.
Their choice: Toss or Tumble.
In Toss, teams must throw an ax at a log target from six meters away.
When teams have landed ten axes,
the Canadian ax-throwing champion will hand them their next clue.
In Tumble, teams must balance themselves on a rolling log.
When they've rotated the log ten times,
the Canadian log-rolling champion will hand them their next clue.
Michelle, let's go.
-We have decided to do "Tumble"… -"Tumble."
…although we don't know what the log roll is.
A lot of people have seen me naked, but not in a paint-y, artistic way.
-How are you feeling? Ready? -Ready. Yep, ready to go.
We were ready to go and present ourselves to the six people who were gonna draw us.
I don't feel that posing naked is something to be embarrassed about.
I feel it's something to brag about. Like, "Hey, we have the guts to stand
in front of complete strangers naked while they paint us."
[snickers] Stop that.
-A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. -H. Yep.
So we spliced the mainsail, I bet you.
[Andrew] I got a bit excited. I thought, I think I know this nautical saying
and put in a couple of words that I thought were the words.
Reckon you've solved it?
"Three sheets to the wind, splice the mainsail,
weigh anchor and set sail."
-No? -No?
And I thought, "Oh, no."
Must've spelled it wrong or something.
I spelled it wrong.
These are letters using those.
Emilia figures out that the flags each represented
"A, B, C, D" in sequential order.
-One, two, three, four, five. "C." -Yeah.
Ten, eleven. "H."
-"A." -A?
-And then "I." -Next one? "I."
We had printed a nautical map, so I was reading out the letter.
Grace was writing it down.
-[Joseph] And then "E." -[Grace] "E."
Here we go.
The thing was, after we paid for the accommodation,
and that taxi back to Rowing Club for the second time,
we had so little cash left.
I've got my bathers on underneath these thermals.
Went out and jumped in a kayak.
-How do we row, even? -All right.
My main hope is that we don't go in the water.
"R?"
Here's where I mucked up.
-I jumped ahead. -That's all right. Don't worry, mate.
It was "sails'" that was wrong, and it turned out that it was "brace."
-Yeah! Thank you very much. -Yes! Thank you very much.
Detour.
"Toss or Tumble."
-We'll try our luck at the ax. -All right, let's go.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
-I'm thinking log roll, Joe. -You can't throw an ax?
-I can't even throw a tennis ball. -It doesn't say you must get any.
-I can get ten. You can get zero. -We decided to go for the axes.
I knew she'd get the hang of it.
My hands are so cold.
When we got there, we saw the Italian sisters. Sweet. We're back in the game.
When I saw them, I thought, "Oh, no."
'Cause James and Sarah are both very intelligent.
-Okay. "T." -Yeah.
We've got this cheat sheet. We'll smash it out and we'll be fine.
-If only they had a color printer. -[Sarah] Doesn't matter. It's the shape.
-There's no "S" even close to it. -Why would it have an "S"?
[Sarah] We sort of got stuck into it at a cracking speed.
And then the cold set in, and everything just started to shut down.
-You need to put 'em on this, sweetheart. -Stop saying "sweetheart" to me.
You're writing random letters down, Sarah.
Sarah kind of went off on a track.
She was just yelling letters at me and didn't tell me why.
-No, you're doing that now. -Yeah, I know, but I need to know what…
-Stop it! -Are you for real?
I need to know what flag I'm up to, Sarah.
That's what I'm doing, James.
[James] We should be kicking ass because we had this cheat sheet.
And it was just killing us.
-What about this one? -"T, S"…
-Watching me, please. Don't just scream. -Yeah. "E, E"…
-I can't even write, honestly. -Give it here then, Sarah.
-Geez! -I give up with you, honestly.
"Splice the main," something, "weight anchor and set sail."
-So it's… -Another word there.
Yeah. Okay, try that.
-Yes! Thank you. -Thank you.
[both] "Detour. Toss or Tumble."
-Tumble. -Tumble.
-It's a game. How bad can it be? -Yeah. Let's go.
-James, look… -Write down the ones we have.
-I am! -Well, do it! I can't do anything
until we know what ones we don't have. I can't do anything.
Even though we had the code, it was black-and-white.
It was really hard to know which one was which.
"Three sheets to the wind, splice the main race,
weigh anchor and set sail."
No?
I can't see where we've gone wrong.
I know "Tumble" sounds a little bit funny.
We could get severely hurt, like usual. What's another bruise?
When we arrived to the Detour, we had to get changed.
Let's go.
[both] Harry Highpants.
-Come on! Move, hey? -Come on down!
[Michelle] We see the log in the water and the man running on it,
and we're like, "Oh, God."
You gotta stand up on this log, like Wade is here.
You're gonna spin it around just like that.
And you have to spin the log ten times, and we'll count it.
-Both on together? -If it's a full rotation. One at a time.
I was pretty shocked and freaking out at the same time.
[Jo] You can do it, Chelle.
Of course, you can, eh? Let's get going.
-Good job. -That's it. You've got the feet.
-Steady. -[screams]
Freezing. You cannot understand how cold it was.
Like, it's already one degree outside, and hitting that water feels like knives.
Go, go!
[all exclaiming]
[man] No!
I went right under. And I had the cold water going in my ears,
and it was just dripping down my back…
It's a lot harder than I thought, so we can't even get one to go yet.
[Paul] I figured it'd be awkward to describe
that our relationship has grown closer as a result of this.
[Steve] It was quite exhilarating in the end. Pretty liberating.
It's just fun.
I never thought I'd say that sitting naked next to Paul would be fun.
It's always fun naked next to me.
Excuse me. [imitates vomiting]
Guys, thank you. You were great models. You can put your robes back on.
-Do we have to? -Yes.
"Congratulations. Travel by taxi to the next Pit Stop."
[Grant] Teams must make their way to Vancouver's waterfront
and locate Crab Park at Portside, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
-"Fast Forward taken." -"…taken." Whoo!
-Take that, stupid cops. -…stupid cops.
Let's get a taxi.
We just posed nude. Some artists just painted us naked.
Cool. I'd like to see that one.
-Oh, you wanted to see that? -[all laughing]
Toss. Let's go.
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay
I work for my family
Whoo-hoo!
You're gonna throw 40 throws at that target there.
You had 40 shots and had to get ten, so 1-in-4 were pretty good odds.
As police officers, we're always looking at targets.
I thought, "We'll see how we go with the ax."
Oh!
-Too much power. -Zero for two.
You want to hit that round thing there.
Yeah, yeah. That's the one we're aiming for.
Oh! It's too low, Andrew.
Oh!
It's all right. We'll get there.
Joey, let's do it. Come on.
I'm not scared of the water anymore. I'm pretty sure it's up my nose.
It's easy. There. You're on the log now.
[all exclaim]
[Jo] The white line was the marker.
It had to be turned ten times with someone running on top of it.
We just kept going one for one.
[all shouting, exclaiming]
[cheering]
[Michelle] I finally got one.
Start your balance. Yeah! One!
Go, go, go, go, go! [whooping]
That's three rotations.
Ooh!
It's all right.
-You're nuts. -We've got one away! Whoo-hoo!
Old Shano here gets stuck in.
Oh, mate, you're on fire.
-Yeah! -That's it. I've been holding on too long.
-There you go. -Lean forward. You can do this.
[shouting, exclaiming]
[cheering]
-Here we go! You've got it! -Lean forward!
-That was six of ten. -Come on! Go, go!
Well done. Now to four rotations.
[men exclaim]
Bull's-eye!
-Mate. -I'm going home.
-Yeah! -Yeah!
One more, mate.
-Oh, no, I knew it. -Bring it home, Richie.
Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
-Well done, buddy. -Thanks, mate.
Let's have a look.
"Who can reach for the sky?"
In this Road Block, one team member must brave the elements and altitude
as they hitch a ride to the top of Grouse Mountain.
The team member performing the Road Block must climb on top
of this moving cable car and retrieve three flags
strung along the three-kilometer route.
If teams fail to grab all three flags,
they'll have to return to the bottom of the mountain and start again.
-I think I'll have a go. -You'll have a go?
"Ride on top of the Skyride cable car…"
[whooping]
We knew the girls were maybe 15 minutes ahead of us.
When we got down to the taxi, I could see that theirs was still there.
So I thought, "Hello, we've jumped the girls now."
-We're the first team? -Yeah. This is unusual for us.
Very unusual.
-Come on. Let's go. -Come on now. Here you go.
-There's another one. -One more to go, guys!
-Come on, Chelle! Go! -Come on!
[all exclaiming]
Oh, yeah!
[whooping]
We did it.
"Road Block. Who can reach for the sky?"
I'm feeling it.
-You're feeling it? -I'm feeling it.
"Ride on top of the Skyride cable to the peak of Grouse Mountain."
I was soaked to the bone.
-That was very cold. -That water is unbelievably cold.
"Toss."
When we arrived at the challenge-- The distance from where you had to throw
to the target wasn't even that far.
And I thought, "This is easy."
Hey, what are you laughing at?
Ah! Higher.
I hit the board, but it didn't stick.
Yeah, it's harder than it looks. It's definitely not easy.
-Thank you so much. -It's been a pleasure. Have a good day.
[Paul] Grant will be rather happy to know that we did put our clothes back on.
[laughing]
Welcome to Vancouver, Canada.
-Thank you. -Thank you. Love the accent.
Paul and Steve, you're team number one.
Boom!
You've also won, as winners of this leg,
$10,000, courtesy of Southern Cross Travel Insurance.
That's $5,000 each to spend after the race.
-Excellent. -So that's five in a row.
You gotta be feeling confident at this point.
We've always felt confident.
There's been a few hurdles, but we've overcome them.
"Paul and Steve, you're the first team to arrive."
I'll never get sick of hearing it.
Hopefully we'll hear it a few more times right up till the end.
-If we maybe didn't have the "P"… -"Splice the main…"
"Splice the mainbrace."
-Is it? -Yes.
[laughing]
Rather than being happy that we've got it, it was more just…
-Thank God. -…happy we didn't have to keep doing it.
Put me in the river and kill me now.
-"Toss or Tumble." -"Toss or Tumble." Toss?
-Toss! -Done. Let's go. Taxi!
Hello.
We had no money. We jumped in this cab.
[Sarah] How long do you think it'll be to where we're going?
Can you make it ten or 15 minutes?
Okay.
[groans] Come on.
-You gotta throw higher, Grace. -Higher?
-Yeah! Well done. -Yeah!
-Yes. -Yeah!
I honestly didn't know Grace had the strength.
She definitely surprised me.
-Yeah! -On a streak.
Whoo!
By George!
Where are we going?
-I don't know. -Looking for a lumberjack.
-We better make it snappy. -Tumble or Toss?
-We're going to Tumble. -I look like the biggest dork.
We're like, "This is gonna be great."
And then we saw a big log in the icy-cold water.
Oh, my gosh.
I wanted to run for the hills and find a bear to wrestle.
I thought, "There is no way I am gonna get
on that plank and spin around."
I've got a visual of you wrestling a bear.
I would've rather wrestled a bear than get on that plank.
[people exclaiming]
-No, I can't. -Yes, you can.
-Lou, you can. -Yeah, you can.
That's it. Good girl. You're on it.
I have no balance.
Why am I trying to ride a log on icy water?
-Yeah. There you go. -You've got it.
[chattering, exclaiming]
Oh, my feet.
There you go. There you go!
Yeah! Whoo!
I swear you are so close to dying in that water.
-Yeah! -Almost!
Every time was like, "I really don't want to do that again."
-Walk all over it! -You've got it! You've got it!
[whimpering]
[Emilia] You had it.
-Oh, God. -You had it. You were just holding on.
[sobbing]
-No. -[man] Come on. You can do it.
Let's give 'em some encouragement! Come on!
That's a hard thing to do, but you're getting there.
[whimpers]
I'm sorry, Millie.
[Joseph] Don't break the streak. We're eight. We just need two more.
-Yeah! -[people exclaim, cheer]
One more and we're done.
[applauding]
-Thank you. -Thank you so much.
-Road Block. "Who can reach for the sky?" -Me. Sounds like me.
"Ride on top of the Skyride cable car."
Let's go. Let's go for the sky! Whoo!
-[man] Keep going! Yeah! -[man 2] Nice one.
-You're getting two rotations. -Two rotations!
-Come on! -Come on! You've got it.
[Lucy] I can't even walk straight.
Why am I trying to ride a log on icy water?
I have absolutely no balance.
Lucy, it's not even balance. Just look at your feet
and roll them around. That's all you gotta do.
[people exclaim]
Honey, are you cold? It's all right.
We had no cash. We were in the middle of nowhere.
We weren't prepared for $43.
We've got 22.
But we need you as well to stay with us if you can.
Is it okay?
Oh, thank you so much.
He helped us out so much.
-"Toss." It must be pointing that way. -Must be up here.
I've thrown plenty of things before. Plates. I've thrown shoes.
But never an ax, which is probably a good thing.
Probably is.
Can I do it like that?
[screams]
It's heavy! Oh, no.
-All right, straight over. -Straight over your head.
-Come on, James. -There you go!
-Good on you. -Thanks. It's my secret calling.
-There we go. Let's go. -Let's go, buddy.
The arrow was down here, mate.
-When we get to Grouse Mountain… -It was just a magical, picturesque place.
[Shane] And we're ready to go.
-I go up there now? -Yeah.
I'm on top of the cable car.
So, first flag and then up the ladder, mate, and get the second one.
And then the second tower, get the third one.
If you miss one, you've gotta go back to the end of the queue,
and you only get three attempts, or there'd be a penalty incurred.
This is a great view, mate.
I'm just gonna have a look and take it all in. It's magnificent.
Thank you, Amazing Race.
Can you see the flag on the tower?
-I can see something coming up. -Yeah.
And as it was coming closer, I thought,
oh, I think I'm gonna have to stretch here.
I can't grab--
Got it.
Ripped the whole blooming thing off. The flag and the thing it was stuck to.
-Well done, buddy. -Right. There's one.
-Mate, I had to jump. -Yeah.
It wasn't as easy as I thought.
And then I've gotta get the second one up the ladder.
I scoot up there.
-There's two. -Good work, buddy.
[chortles]
[cheering, exclaiming]
[man] That's nine, guys. Nine of ten.
-Just look at the other end of the log. -But I can't even balance.
Just do your best. Say you can do it, and try to do one.
Otherwise, just jump in.
Once you psyche yourself out of something like that, it's really hard.
So the fact that she kept getting up there and trying again was inspirational.
[all exclaiming]
Come on. That was one.
It wasn't. Sorry.
-So annoying. -And he was just, "Nope. That's not one."
-Let's go. One more. -Go, Millie, go.
[whoops]
Good girl!
-You did it! You tried your best. -I'm proud of you.
I couldn't have done it without her.
No, you were the best. I didn't do anything. I couldn't even get one.
She was a superstar.
"Who can reach for the sky?" I can.
-No, I can. You've done too much today. -Lucy, it's a height one.
I'm gonna do it. "Ride on top of the Skyride cable car.
Collect three flags along the way to receive your next clue."
-Nice. -I can do that.
They're gonna employ you up here. You're not coming home.
I'm gonna get one, guys. I'm gonna get one, okay?
[whooping]
Well done. Look at you.
[laughs]
I got one. Thank you, God.
All right. Come on.
[Sarah] Yay!
Very good.
-Thank you! -Let's do it.
[Sarah] "Who can reach for the sky?"
-Me. I'll do it. -Yeah, okay. Go for it.
"Ride on top of the--" On top?
All right. Let's go!
[James] We ran back down, and our taxi driver was still there.
We were like, "Yes, he's still there."
But we were like, "No, we don't have any money to pay him still."
Can you help us? Please, please, please.
-You don't have any coins or anything? -Anything, please.
We have to get out of here.
Lovely Chinese couple gave us a five-dollar note.
-Thank you. -You are awesome.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you for waiting.
Grouse Mountain Skyride.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Got it. -Yeah.
-Well done, buddy. -That's three.
I was rapt. I got my three flags.
That was fun. "Travel by taxi to the next Pit Stop."
All right, buddy.
I was so excited. I really, really wanted to do this challenge.
-Good luck, Chelle. -Thanks, Joey.
I was pretty scared, but I was trying to hold it together.
I just tried not to look out the window.
Joey, it's incredible up here.
I hope it's not too high.
Hey, she's collected two.
We're heading up to Grouse Mountain, where we're gonna do the cable challenge.
-I've decided that I'm gonna do it. -She's doing the Road Block.
[Shane] As we were leaving the cable car, I saw Joe and Grace,
and I thought, uh-oh, I hope Grace isn't the one doing this challenge.
Because how tough it was for me, and I'm six foot, they could be in trouble.
-So you've gotta hurry it. -Yeah.
[screams]
Doing a happy dance.
I just couldn't believe that I completed a Road Block.
"Travel by taxi to the next Pit Stop."
[Joseph] Jump.
-Yeah. Yeah. That's it. -Yeah?
That's it.
Grace actually likes the extreme stuff. She likes the vertical stuff.
Grace, get on the left side. It's gonna be on the left side.
Get in a position where you can grab it.
[screams]
It's just too high up.
I jumped as far as I could.
I couldn't get it.
Joe, it's just too high.
It's too high.
If I didn't get it on the third go, we'll have to serve a four-hour penalty.
It sucked. It really did.
A penalty will definitely set us back.
And we're looking at elimination, that's for sure.
-Thank you. Bye. -Let's go.
[Lucy] We got to the Road Block.
We see Grace and Joe, and they're having a second attempt.
[Lucy] Can't believe it's little Gracie up there.
Use both hands to jump, one hand to grab.
Jump.
Yeah. That's it.
That's it.
On my second go, I knew 100% that I was giving it all I had.
I can't do it!
It's like an adult holding a lollipop out of reach from a child.
You have to climb up this ladder.
That point, it started to hit me that I had to sit on top of one of those things.
Okay. I'm just not gonna look down.
We always said she would do the heights challenges,
but I think my go-go-gadget arms might have come in handy this time.
I'm not Tomb Raider here.
I'm struggling. So I'm holding on to the ladder.
Oh, God. It's high.
It's beautiful, but it's high.
I don't wanna have to do this again.
[Lucy] She'll be so scared.
Big sisters always worry about their little sisters.
If she fell… Oh, God.
You got this, bella.
Just focus. Don't look down. Focus on the flags.
[Emilia] When I saw the first flag,
I started to realize how high up it was gonna be.
So I tried to reach out for it.
It's so far!
-Did you get it? -No.
-She missed it? -Yeah.
How am I meant to get that?
-Oh, God. -It's okay. Don't worry.
-I wasn't close. -Don't worry.
I don't know what I did wrong.
Aha! Whoo-hoo!
Here we are. Ah!
-Shane and Andrew… -Yep.
…you're team number two.
-Yes! Well done, buddy. -Yeah!
Disappointed not to get the Fast Forward. We would've had a go at whatever it was.
The Fast Forward was posing naked together for a life drawing class.
-How would you have gone at that? -Right up our alley.
Michelle and Jo, you're the third team on the mat.
-Boom! -Thank you.
Maintains your record of coming in the top three.
We love Vancouver.
We don't have the full amount, $75.30.
Basically, we'll give you everything that we have.
And we had, like, 25.
I'm so sorry. Oh, my God. This is terrible.
If you want more, we'll be happy to go and ask people for more money.
We'll go and ask if you want more money.
-Really? Will you let us go? -It's okay?
Really? [exclaims]
-Thank you so much. That is amazing. -I'm gonna kiss you.
Thank you so much, sir.
-That's really nice. That's 50 bucks. -It was awesome.
We're still alive.
Ooh. That's going up a strange spot, that.
[Joseph] You need to get this, or we're out.
-Just stop, Joe. Please. -Okay.
I was getting a little bit frustrated because obviously we were on our third go.
I'm ready to give it the best that I've got.
If I didn't get it on this go, we'll have to serve a four-hour penalty.
Here it goes.
-Got it. -She grabbed one. Climb. Climb.
[Joseph] Now she's got her second flag and she's got one more flag to collect.
Attempt number two. Let's go.
-Good luck, bella. -Thanks.
If anyone can do it, she can.
If she gets this, we're out of here.
Yes. She got the last flag.
Whoo!
Thanks, Vancouver.
"Travel by taxi to the next Pit Stop."
The one thing I kept saying in my head was,
"I'm doing it for Mum. Just do it for Mum."
-I got one. -Yes!
Go, girl. You got it.
Okay, I got two.
You are like Superwoman. I love you.
-Oh, dear. -Good luck, babe.
This is unreal.
James, you're jealous. You should be up here.
-Yeah? -It's beautiful, really.
I just hope she can jump up and grab 'em.
My strategy, the further down the back of the cable car that I was gonna be,
the lower those things were gonna be for me to grab.
Okay.
-Oh! Okay. -Yes. Well done!
All right. Remember the second one you've gotta get?
Well done.
-I saw you go up there-- -Did you see it?
-You're doing good. -Thank you.
We realized that the taxi driver was still running the meter.
-So, you've got 125. -Yeah, that's what we've got.
-Well, you're short already. -Yeah.
We're so close to finishing, and we need your help.
-You're bringing us home, Douglas. -Can you help us, Douglas?
I have to be paid. Somebody's got to pay me.
Running out of money with a cab, that's a showstopper right there.
-You don't have a credit card? -We've got nothing.
-That's all we've got. -You should've told me that before.
I have to be paid. Somebody's got to pay me.
Look, this is all we've got. We need your help.
I stopped the meter and it's about a $25 cab ride downtown, so…
If we get you 150, can you just drive us to Crab Park?
-Yes. -All right, yes.
We're gonna beg for money. There's nothing else we can do.
This is the lowest point of the race.
♪ Love is all that I need ♪
♪ And I've found it there in your heart… ♪
Listen to her. You're a lunatic! Concentrate.
She was singing Bryan Adams. Like, who does that?
You've gotta sing Bryan Adams in Canada.
♪ I'm finding it hard to believe ♪
♪ We're in heaven… ♪
Come on, Millie. Do it for Mum.
Oh! Yes! God, yes!
Thank you, God!
-Come down, come down! -Mum, that's for you!
Somehow thinking of Mum and everything she's gone through
reminds you to put it into perspective of life.
This is a fun journey.
-So true. -Yeah.
"Travel by taxi to the next Pit Stop." Thank God.
[Emilia] Was that how high it was?
Far out!
You can do anything.
-All right. -Come on.
-Thank you. -Yes.
-Well done. -I got it.
-There's one. [laughing] -Thank you.
It looks like the clowns. You know when they do the thing and they pull it out?
There's two and three. [laughing]
-Excellent. There you go. Way to go. -Thank you so much.
"Travel by taxi to the next Pit Stop."
"Hurry. The last team to arrive may be eliminated."
What are we gonna do? We've got no money left.
Do your thing.
We're gonna go as low as ask people for money.
That's how low we're gonna go. I hate doing that.
-But we're desperate. -All I have is five bucks.
-Yeah, there's a start. -Yeah, that's good.
Thank you so much. We really appreciate it.
Okay, that's 147. I'll cut you some slack.
-Yes? Douglas, you're the man. -Go, Douglas!
I think he just felt sorry for us in the end.
We could be walking right now.
-Thank you. -Thanks again!
[exclaims]
-Okay. -Okay.
[Sarah] We need a taxi.
Oh, my God, what are we gonna say if it's the same bloke?
Crab Park at Portside?
-Yeah, of course we do. -Quick!
-I'll even show it to you. -Do you know how to get there?
-Yeah. -Let's go.
Oh, my God.
[Sarah] How far away do you think the Crab Park is?
Not very far? I'm panicking though.
We're going to Portside, Vancouver, Crab Park, please.
As fast as you can.
Joseph and Grace, you're the fourth team to arrive.
-We thought so. That was good. -You reckon?
We had four dollars and 76 cents left, and we just hoped that it was close.
We haven't got $31.10.
Can we do something for you?
We've got $4.76. Can you please help us?
-'Cause we didn't think it was far. -We thought it was really close.
-He wasn't having a bar of us. -This guy wasn't happy.
So the Pit Stop's 30 meters. Just there.
But we can't check in 'cause we've got no money to pay for our taxi.
Yeah, there's a flag. There's a flag.
Oh, dear. Not good.
[gasps] Wait.
-Lucy and Emilia… -Yes.
-…you're the fifth team to check in. -Yes!
Oh! Good work!
You're doing really well.
Thank you. She's doing really well. She's a little champion.
-How are we gonna organize this? -[wry chuckle]
We turn around, and there was a cop car, and we just said,
"Can you help us? This is what's happened."
He's like, "I'll go and have a talk to him."
And he actually called the owner of the taxi company.
He says if-- Send him a case of Foster's from Australia.
-We said, "Yes. Yes." -"We'll do that, yes!"
-Thank you. Thank you so much. -Fantastic.
We appreciate it.
Welcome to Vancouver, Canada.
-Thank you. -Thank you so much.
James and Sarah, you're the last team to arrive,
and I'm sorry to tell you, but this is a predetermined elimination leg,
and you are therefore out of the race.
No one would understand what we've gone through. This.
Just me and you, really. So…
Are you guys off or are you on?
We will know each other till we're 85, I think. When we're old and decrepit.
I don't think there's anything that could pull us apart, really.
Thank you for being a great teammate.
Just give me a hug first, before we go.
[Sarah] Even though sometimes we wanna kill each other,
we're still good, still going, still kicking goals.
I wouldn't say kicking goals, but kicking points at least.
-[Grant] Next time… -Come on, baby!
Stay on!
…with just three legs to go…
Stupid skiing!
Joe, listen to me!
-…one team's race dream… -[screams]
…will end on the ice.
You can do it, Lucy!
Oh, my God. I'm gonna fall.
And is Paul and Steve's winning streak…
Don't fall over here.
-…about to come to an end? -It felt so good to be in front of them.
They can be beaten.
