Previously on the amazing race...
Eight teams dove into Dubai.
I did it!
Front-runners Carson and Jack
claimed an underwater fast forward
and first place.
Brothers Nick and Mike were in a familiar situation.
It's a little disheartening.
We're gonna get eliminated in Dubai.
But a moment of indecision from pops and Jeff...
Is this platform one?
Man!
Led to a dramatic footrace... Pops, this way.
It's locked.
- Come on, pops. - And a shocking elimination.
I can't even explain how proud I am of my pops, man.
He hung in there the whole race.
Coming up tonight, the season's first self-drive...
Can you just go straight and go around?
Sends teams spinning.
- Don't let them hit you. - Watch out.
And another double u-turn...
- We got to go right now. - It's a footrace.
Has a massive impact on the race.
Two people, u-turn.
It's looking like us, Jack.
Here we go.
- "Fly to Sofia, Bulgaria." - Sofia, Bulgaria!
All teams will fly more than 2,000 miles
northwest into Europe,
landing in the republic of Bulgaria,
the only country in Europe
that has not changed its name since it was first established
and a country that has laid claim
to inventing yogurt,
something teams will get a taste of,
along with another game-changing u-turn.
And by the way, just to spice things up,
they'll be self-driving.
- Let's do it! - Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Dubai international airport.
- We are leaving in first place! - First place!
So far, throughout this race, I have learned
that Jack does remain calm
in these pressure-cooker situations.
But this is our first test of being in
a completely new place driving, so
we'll see if it's an advantage or a disadvantage for us,
but, we're manifesting advantage.
Dude, I've never been to Bulgaria. This is gonna be sick!
We're leaving in second, and we feel fantastic.
I think we just want to keep the momentum going.
I-I'm just really grateful I'm doing this with my brother.
I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else.
Hi. How are you?
We just go to the airport.
Winning a million dollars, winning this race
would change our lives forever.
It would just set us up to pay off our student loan debt
and be in a good place to, like, have children
and feel like it's the right time to do that.
- Sofia, Bulgaria. - Sofia, Bulgaria.
I'm pretty sure that's, like, a famous person's last name.
Like, their full name. "Sofia Bulgaria."
- No. - And if it's not, it should be.
Sofia... vergara.
- Never mind. - Close call.
We've passed
the halfway point already. That's wild.
Leaving in the middle of the pack is fine,
but today we're here to compete.
I have no clue where Bulgaria is.
We're kind of in the middle right now.
Not happy with that position, obviously.
But, we always start a leg optimistic,
so... we'll see what happens.
Crap. We're driving.
Shucks.
We just stay calm, which isn't my thing.
Correct.
We were seconds away
from getting eliminated last leg,
and feeling extremely grateful
to be running another leg of this amazing race,
and, we're not taking anything for granted.
Thank you, my friend.
All right.
We're headed to Sofia, Bulgaria,
all on the same flight,
and, excited for a little self-drive action to come.
The strategy is,
try to make as little mistakes as possible.
We're gunning for first.
You're good, mom.
We don't need to sprint ahead.
I don't even know where they're going.
Here.
- This is it. - Look.
Marked cars.
Grab it.
Okay.
"Drive to the village square
of negushevo to find your next clue."
Whoa. This is a seriously big map.
Good job, car.
- Which way am I going? - Go right.
We're gonna exit the parking structure.
- Don't be stressed out. - Nope, I'm not.
Okay.
Follow the signs, babe. Follow the signs. Find the exit.
- All right, let's go. - Left.
I think we can get out up here.
- See the exit sign right there? - Go left here.
We might be the first out of this parking structure.
Hopefully.
We got a massive map of Bulgaria.
Go reverse? I don't know how to get into reverse.
Is there a button on the side?
- Is it stick? - Yes, it is.
All the way down. Car exits to your left.
Yeah. Overtake, overtake.
One car has stopped. I think
that's han and Holden trying to pass?
Turn left, turn left, turn left.
I don't know if I can make it in, though.
Can you just go straight and go around?
- There we go. I found it. - You've got it?
Don't let them hit you, babe.
- If they're getting close, honk. - Watch out.
Gosh.
I didn't know he was
- I'm trying to go backwards. - It's not going.
Can I try doing it?
- Sorry, Holden. - Don't apologize.
Just keep moving.
If I tell you what to do, will you let us get out first?
- Yeah... yeah. - Yes, yes, yes.
Okay. Up and then... And then go over to reverse.
- It's up and then over to reverse? - Yeah.
We need to get out of here.
I'm moving.
- All right, car. - We're in Bulgaria!
We're driving in Europe.
Completely her right now.
This is the greenest... Place.
This is giving us, Italy vibes.
Making me miss my mom right now.
Definitely missing home right now.
Toto, we don't have Google maps anymore.
Holden went to military school,
which is why he's really good at maps.
I've never read a map, so we're looking for green.
Maps are only green if you can add a platoon of soldiers,
which is about 20 people, under the tree line.
Alyssa's great at navigation,
and this is what we practiced,
so we're hoping that it pays off.
Whereas, like, people who didn't work as hard on this,
maybe it trips them up a bit
and gives us a little bit of an advantage.
I am not of a generation that has ever used a map.
Give me a phone, and I can get you anywhere.
Give me a real map, and I don't know where we are.
- I'm gonna look on the map again. - Is this it?
- The next exit? - I don't think so.
- No, no, no, no. - Shoot.
I thought you said next exit.
No, no, just take an exit toward Burgas..
We live in New York City.
Like, we don't have cars.
The people we know don't have cars.
Okay, I'd pull over.
I don't know if this is the right highway.
My god. The self-drive.
All right, eyes open, eyes open.
Here we go, baby.
Yeah. So we're gonna park here and get that.
Clue's in there.
By helping locals ward off evil spirits
and bringing good luck
in a ritual known as kukeri.
This has been practiced here for centuries.
You can probably hear the bells.
It's very loud.
Teams need to gather apples as an offering
and deliver then to the altar of the kukeri
to receive their next clue.
Good job, guys.. All right.
Get the cart, get the cart, get the cart. Fast.
- Dump two crates. - How do we load 'em? How do we load 'em?
Two crates. Two crates.
- It said two crates? - Yeah.
One.
There you go.
Put it the opposite way to balance it.
- There we go. - Where do we take 'em?
"Carry a third crate of apples,
then follow the marked path."
"Load apples into a cart as an offering to the kukeri."
I'll get that, babe. Just let me find the marked path.
Here it is. I got it, got it, got it.
- Good job, babe. - Don't drop the apples.
There's one apple on the floor.
- Good job. Good job, babe. - Let's go.
All right, marked path.
- You got to capture any that fall out. - Yeah.
Apples going everywhere, dude.
My family has carried a lot of fruits.
I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
- My god. - Ooh.
- It was a wild scene. - It reminded me a lot
of the book we read to the girls,
- where the wild things are. - Yeah.
- It was a lot like that. - Yes.
Josiah, dump them on here.
We got it.
Teams must drive themselves
to the osoitsa village library
to find their next clue.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
"Find your next clue in the library."
All right, let's go.
All right, we got the jump on 'em.
- Keep 'em close, okay? - How do we reverse?
- They're gonna get past. - Okay.
- I can't get over. Shoot. - What are you doing?
- You got to listen, babe. - Josiah
- and Alyssa and who's that? - I don't know. Doesn't matter.
All right, we are here.
How cool is this?
"Load apples into a cart as an offering to the kukeri."
Any of them?
There you go. All right.
There you go. Now carry the third.
"Follow the marked path."
We're doing good, babe. We're doing really good.
Yes.
I hear something. We're getting close.
Kukeri!
- Wow! - Yes!
Kukeri!
We pull in the door, apples in.
There are these gigantic... Gi... fantastic.
- Hair. - Just... all hair.
They had the drums going.
It was mesmerizing.
- Hey. Hey! - Thank you so much!
- I wish we could have worn it. - I know.
This is something where I wish we could have worn it.
Very doja cat Coachella.
Excuse me. We're trying to get to negushevo.
So, do we make a right? Make a right. Okay.
Right.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you so much. Thank you.
We are in the middle of nowhere.
Once we get on the national road i-6,
I think we'll be okay. But for some reason,
we haven't seen any signage
that says the number six.
It's says "the library in osoitsa is located
within the village municipality building."
Library? This is it. Come on, come on.
Library, right here. Find the clue.
- You're looking? - I'm looking.
I see it. Got it, got it.
Detour. "Haystack or wood stack?"
This detour requires teams to find a martenitza.
This red and white adornment
a token of goodwill, health and happiness
might be easier to find than a needle,
but these are big haystacks.
Once they've handed it over to the farmer,
he'll give them a clue and they can keep on racing.
One third of Bulgaria is covered in forest,
so there's no short supply of firewood.
More than just a fuel source,
firewood is closely connected
with this country's cultural heritage.
This detour requires teams
to use a wheelbarrow and backpack
to transport 200 kilograms of wood
roughly 440 pounds
to a home in this neighborhood.
Once they've completed their deliveries,
the homeowner will hand them a clue.
Think it's, like, in the book somewhere?
Here we go.
I want to do haystack. Let's go.
"Load apples into a cart as an offering to the kukeri."
Dude, this is so cool.
Are we not realizing how cool this is?
- Okay. - It's this way. Here. Here, mom.
I've got it.
I think that if you aren't paying attention
and you don't use your map,
it's gonna be very, very difficult to find negushevo.
Go on the a-2. Let's try it.
Stay in the right Lane.
Here?
- I don't know. - My god.
Yeah, this is just complete disaster.
Getting lost sometimes is just part of the game,
but we keep doing well in this competition. We're almost
always at the front of the pack.
So, realizing we were probably last was,
so unbelievable.
It's, like, you can feel
these other teams start to pull away.
There's the clue, mom.
I have no idea where we are.
Oy.
We're looking for negushevo village.
Sofia.
- Go up to Sofia? - Sofia, - okay. - Okay.
- Up towards gorna Malina. - Gorna Malina.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
All right.
We need to be up here... negoshevo.
So, we're, I think, hours behind.
And this could be... What kills us, unfortunately.
Back to Sofia, our favorite city.
Library?
Right here, right here. Come on, come on.
Do you see a clue?
Right there. Heck, yeah!
Good job, babe.
- Manual? - It's a haystack.
I would rather... Maybe just deliver.
- No, there it is. - I see it.
The pressure's on.
We got lost a bunch on the way here.
Got to be this way, right?
We got to go to the altar.
Yeah!
- Sarantsi should be coming up. - I see it.
- You see-you see it?
- This is it. Where do we park? - Is this it?
- To the right, to the left? - I don't know.
There's nothing that's marked here.
Keep your eyes open for those small arrows.
- Looking for the marked parking. - Where do we park?
- Parking. Is it here? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Is this it? I mean... - Yeah, yeah. Pull forward.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Okay, come on. - Down the road.
Haystacks.
- Ready? - Yeah.
Gloves?
We got to the detour first,
and we see big, huge piles of hay.
- They were pretty tall, yeah. - Like, taller than me.
And so, already, walking up there,
I'm feeling like this is not the right choice here.
Wow. Man.
What are we looking for, exactly, again?
"One red and white yarn bracelet in one of three haystacks."
- Okay. - Ready?
We got to move fast here.
Shake it out real good, okay?
Yes, got it.
Yeah, come on.
Just move fast, babe, okay? Move your hands fast.
I know.
Got to get through this one quick.
- We got this, babe. - Yeah.
200 kilos of wood, whatever that is.
A hundred pounds?
Times it by two? Divide it by two?
I don't know how to do kilos to pounds.
Is that 400 pounds or more?
No. No, no. I think it's the other way, babe.
Kilograms is half as much as pounds.
- So I think it's... Somewhere right there. - Yeah.
We chose the wood stack
because we've seen people on amazing race search for stuff
until the sun goes down.
It's Jonathan and Ana.
- Mark and Brett are here. - Okay.
- This was a mistake, babe. - Sorry.
- And hay is, like... - It's itchy. -It's itchy.
- So... -So... -Here we go. - Okay, load it up.
We're supposed to do 200 kilos.
Let's load it up, big ones on the bottom.
How much do you think that is?
Let's just do more than we think we need.
Okay, but you just want... you don't want to spill it, so
- I know. - Okay.
"Village of sarantsi."
Okay, this is, like, a village-looking thing up here,
so... okay, yeah.
- There's a marker. - Park right here.
Okay, good.
Don't know what it looks like.
I mean, how do we know if we found it or not?
Should we look into the other stacks?
No, we have to finish this one.
We at least have to take it down to, like, a reasonable level.
I just think this is a bad call on your part,
because you have physical strength,
so why aren't we doing the physical thing?
It has a finite end.
I just don't think this made a lot of sense.
I was feeling frustrated with the choice for this detour.
Which I understand,
but you just have to be very careful
that you sort everything.
And as long as you have a process,
you shouldn't miss what you're looking for.
Does this look like a ribbon? No, that's not it.
There's the hay... Tho-those are the haystacks.
Yeah.
- Okay, this good? - Let me see.
I'm not good at tying knots.
Do the front, like, through the middle and around?
Yeah, just down... And through.
Anything red-white?
No. It's gonna take time, babe.
Yeah.
It's okay. Just keep going.
This is gonna be really hard.
- Hello. - Hello, guys.
- We'll do these white ones. - Okay.
Let's... do it.
What is this? That's not it.
This could be absolutely terrible.
All right, babe, put that backpack on.
- Yeah. - Hold on. Okay.
- Want me to help? - Help me, yeah.
Okay. It's very heavy.
Do you want me to do the backpack?
No, I think I'd rather do the backpack.
- Lift it up for me. - Two, three. Stand up. You ready?
- Okay. - There you go. You got it?
Yeah. Yes.
You do that, I'll do this.
"Deliver your wood to the homeowner in the village."
My god. Can you do that?
- We'll go slow. - Yes.
First cross street, make a right.
Babe, you look like a cute little mountain guy.
We can carry stuff. We're strong.
Wait one second, one second.
But we're carrying the wood stack,
and it's very heavy.
- Forget your lower back. - Stop, stop.
My god.
I don't know how these other teams are gonna do it.
So we were like,
- "this is a one-trip deal." - It has to be.
This has to be 200 kilos.
I'm a "one grocery trip" kind of guy,
so, there's gonna be a little spillage.
- Ooh. - You made a bad call.
- I don't know, babe. - This is crazy.
Alyssa, we can do this.
Just give me a little bit of time.
I feel like a... Like a bomb-sniffing dog.
- I don't like this. - I don't like not knowing.
- Let's search another stack. - Gonna drive me nuts.
Brett and Mark are doing the wood challenge, and
I feel like that's brute force, just carrying the wood.
This challenge is not just brute force.
- It's also about... - I found it. -Yes.
- Yes! - Let's go.
To the farmer.
Did they find it already?
Hello!
Hi! There you go.
I've just been having the worst luck on this race, man.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you so much.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Okay.
"Make your way on foot to the church
in the village of sarantsi to find your next clue."
- "Double u-turn ahead." - Double u-turn.
All right, let's go.
After completing a detour,
teams will have a surprise encounter
with another double u-turn,
a chance for teams to slow down another team,
forcing them to perform both sides of the detour.
With half the original teams already eliminated,
this is a crucial moment to establish dominance.
- How did they find it before us? - It's... what do you mean?
It's luck.
God, you picked the wrong... Wrong detour, dude.
We would have still been moving wood.
I don't understand -we lost three places from you.
Why you keep saying that.
You just lost our lead for us.
- This is it. - Must be here.
Sweating.
Where do you want...
- Okay. - Okay.
Let's unload this one first.
Mark and Brett are right there.
We might be the first ones there.
- It's only 100. - We're gonna have to take a second trip.
- It's over 100. - 116.5.
- Okay. - Go back for me.
- Good job, guys. -Thanks. - What's up, guys?
- We're at the top here. - Yes.
We got to find the church.
- We need 84 more? - Thank you. We'll be back.
- Let's go. - That means we only need two-thirds
- of what we have before. - Come on, let's go.
- Hey, babe, we got this. - Yeah, let's do this.
Babe, you're a beast.
I see books in there.
Doesn't look obvious to me, though, dude.
- It also looks closed. - This is not it.
Cambridge international school.
- It's right here, mom. - This is the library.
We're gonna have to search in here.
Look under "a" for amazing race?
I found it, mom. Right here. Let's go.
I think we have to do the haystack.
- The physical's too much for us. - Too much for us.
Okay, Jack, what do you think about this? No.
- Never mind. Sorry. - This is not a highway, I think. Yeah.
Here?
- I don't know. - Jack.
Hopefully, everyone else is struggling with this.
We're past the turn we needed to make, but,
hopefully, we can make up for it
at the next challenge, whatever that might be.
Once we get to this double u-turn...
So, maybe that's it?
- Is this the church? - We can ask this guy.
Hello. Could you point us in the direction
of the church? Right there? Aw.
- Thank you so much. Thank you. - Thank you.
Just dumb luck.
- We have to look through that. - Yeah.
I'm just kind of frustrated now.
It could very well be in the other stack, babe, so.
I found it.
- Found it. Come on. - They found it.
- There we go. - Detour.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- How's that look? - More. Big, bigger,
bigger, bigger. Get the big boys.
Come on.
On foot.
- Church? Is it the church? - That's gonna fall.
- There it is. - Yeah, yeah, yay!
We got to go this way.
Okay, we're the first ones here
at the u-turn board, and we choose...
- Not choosing anyone. - Okay.
Keeping blood off our hands.
Let's go.
All right.
"Drive yourself to the village of belopoptsi
and go to snezha's farm to find your next clue."
- All right, let's go. - All right, let's do it.
All right, we're headed back to the car.
I got this.
That's heavy, babe. You got it?
- Think so. - Okay.
This is it.
In the library.
Think, han, think.
- I found it. - Where is it?
Found one. Found, found, found it.
We're gonna do wood stack.
All right, let's just get in the car.
Last stretch.
Race there...
Sorry, I need to stop for a second.
- Just a... - Let's go.
- Sorry, babe. - Give me a second!
- No, you're right. - Just asked for a second.
- All right. - Let's go.
Last push. Push, push, push. Ready? And pick up speed.
And... there we go.
Thank you.
They didn't u-turn anybody.
We can't do it. Nah.
Interesting. We choose not to u-turn anyone.
Anyone. Man.
"Snezha's farm to find your next clue."
Let's go, babe. To our car.
They must have found the clue.
- It's fine. - This is gonna be it.
- Ooh. - Ooh, yeah, we got it. We're almost there.
- We took way more than we needed. - Ta-da!
- Good job. - Thank you.
Present for you.
"Make your way on foot to the church."
Parking.
When I first got to the detour,
I got a little confused as to where to park the car,
and I kind of went too far.
And so, I was, like... I parked the car...
Let's go.
In a ditch.
- Not good. - Can you reverse?
My god.
We're stuck.
There it is.
- I see it. - Hell yeah, babe.
- We choose not to u-turn anybody. - Not u-turning.
We'll let them fight it out.
Damn, people are gonna be here all day.
- I see a sign. I see a sign. - Yes, I see it.
I'm following the signs.
"Park in the designated area."
This is as designated as it gets.
Try it, babe.
Nope. We're stuck.
I don't have enough traction.
- What do we do? - I just can't win, man.
My god, Jonathan and Ana
- are stuck in a ditch. - Han and Holden just showed up.
- I just can't win in this game. - What's up, Ana?
We can't get our car out of the mud.
- No. - We'll help you
for a couple minutes and then we'll go.
- This is called a bowline knot, okay? - Okay.
How do you know this?
Leadership class from...
You're so friggin' cool, Holden.
I have no traction.
As we're trying to figure out how
to get the car out of the ditch,
other teams start to show up.
They're stuck.
Okay. Up ahead.
Here. Ready?
- This is terrible. - Ready? One, two, three.
Go!
I can't get it.
- Hey, you guys, just go. - I'm sorry, guys. Come on, babe.
Mark and Brett helped us try to push the car
on their way out, but they did pass us.
Belopoptsi. Let's find it.
I feel so bad for Jonathan and Ana.
It sucks.
I don't know what they're gonna do.
Like, what do we do?
- We can't just sit here. - Man.
Got stuck in the mud.
Just don't understand why things are happening like this to us.
The locals started to come out of their houses.
They were trying to help us.
So, they started pulling branches,
from the dead trees,
and they were sticking it under the car.
Thank you guys so much.
It seemed like they knew what they were doing,
so I was hopeful that maybe that would work.
But it didn't.
Man, this sucks.
We're digging a deeper hole.
I wonder how much 200 kilograms is.
Do you want to do this haystack first?
We might get lucky, and maybe it's in this first one.
Maybe we'll get the first one.
Their car was pretty stuck, so...
They were very stuck.
My gosh.
I cannot win, dude.
I don't know what else to do.
Some of the locals tried helping us.
Mark and Brett tried helping us, and it's not working.
What else can we do?
I guess that's the end.
It sucks.
- Man. - My god.
We're stuck.
We tried the piece of wood, babe, we did the branches.
- What else can we do? - I don't know what else to do, babe.
We're usually very resourceful,
and we're good at figuring things out.
So not being able to figure out
how to get the car out of the ditch
was frustrating and deflating.
And then Mike and Nick arrive.
Jonathan and Ana were stuck in the mud there.
So, we know
we're in the very back of the pack now.
Man.
I don't know what to do.
We're stuck pretty good.
Okay. Come on, let's go. This is the cross street.
So turn right at the cross street.
Yeah. Holden, I need a break.
- A tow. - Yes.
Wow. I see. I see.
- My gosh. - That's wonderful.
- Okay, cool, cool. - We're making progress.
But then, a very wise local had the idea
to hook a rope to our car and pull it back on the road.
Wow.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
You got it. Yeah.
Thank you guys.
Looks like Ana and Jonathan make it out.
- Come on, you got it. - I know, I know.
- We're literally really close. - I know.
I need you to push as hard as you can all the way through.
Nice. You're doing great. There you go.
Pacing ourselves is gonna be important.
I agree.
Bulgaria loves its wheelbarrows, man.
- Okay. - Have you identified
- on the map where we're going? - We got to go west.
- That was so stressful. - Ay-yai-yai.
Lord, please help us find this bracelet.
- Slow and steady. - We're just praying that...
That we don't miss it
and have to go back and search through anything.
But we might be here for a while.
Nick and Mike are there. They're doing the physical.
Well, of course.
The physical might have been easier on this one.
So I guess we just fill up this and that and get going.
Okay.
Hello.
- Please. - Okay.
My forearms are burning.
Okay, you're done.
Okay.
I believe in us.
We chose wood stack just because we didn't want
to have to search for a needle in a haystack.
And so we decided that we were gonna
stick to our guns, man.
We don't know how long
the needle in the haystack challenge would take.
And it was... it's brutal. It was awful.
My forearms will... Double in size by tomorrow.
Seventy.
- It's not enough. - Seventy-one.
- Much more. - All right, let's move.
I was hoping it would be in this one.
- Ew. Frick! - What?
That's a dead gecko.
- Ooh. Ooh. Okay. - My gosh.
- Throw it away. - Gross.
Just gonna toss him aside.
- Man. - Good thing I have gloves on.
We found something even better than a bracelet.
Ew. This is gnarly.
- Good? - Here's Nick and Mike.
We're coming for you.
- You guys done? You finished? - No.
- How many trips you take? - I think it's gonna take us three.
Come on, you got it.
Going from the back to the front.
Burgas! My god.
- Burgas on the right. - At least when you're...
Three hours behind and you're
you know you're on the right road,
at least you got some light
at the end of the tunnel.
- Right. - A little bit.
Not too long now.
We're looking for a farm, so, just
- keep your eyes peeled. - There it is.
Snezha's farm.
All gas, no brakes.
Humans have been looking for the secret to extend life
since the beginning of time.
One of the answers might be Bulgarian yogurt.
Here, in a land where there's a high percentage of centenarians,
Bulgarian yogurt is a food favorite,
eaten by nevenka herself, 102.
She has a bowl of it every day.
Something teams must do to complete this roadblock.
But first, they need to provide the key ingredient
by milking a sheep.
Once they've handed over half a liter,
they'll get a clue.
Congratulations.
I'm gonna do it. I'm ready to fill her up.
- "Milk a sheep"! Yeah! - That's so awesome!
- She's gonna love this. - Let's go!
I absolutely love animals
and I love being outside,
and a farm is, like, a dream of mine.
Hello! Hello, sheep.
You'll show me how?
They taught me how to milk her.
Okay. Okay.
Okay, here we go. I'm just gonna go like this.
You're so cute.
It's, like, only a little bit,
but I think I got the technique down.
Baby.
Earning that farm, babe.
You're earning that farm.
I'm starting to get a lot more now.
So, the technique is...
You can feel all the milk up here
in, like, the base of her udder.
And then you kind of just gently fill the nipple part
and then pull down the nipple.
I'm in Bulgaria milking a sheep on a farm
and we're in first place.
I'm just digging through a little bit quicker now.
I mean, I just don't want to miss it
in one of these hunks.
Completely agree. We don't want to be out here forever
'cause we missed it.
This is not enjoyable.
This could be the best decision we made
or the worst decision we've made.
Let's go, baby. Let's go.
I put too much wood.
- It's killing me. - We're almost there.
We are strong, but to have to make that trip
all the way to the scale, carrying
200 kilos of wood
I honestly thought, "okay, this is gonna be tough,"
because my asthma and the heat
just, like, gets the best of me sometimes.
- Hold on. - Where's your pump? Take it.
- I did already. - You got it, Mike.
- We're right there, bro. - One sec.
That's it.
But like pop eye eating his spinach,
I did my two puffs.
Let's make up some time.
Paisano!
Eighty-six, 88. Let's go, baby.
Ooh! 91. That's it?
No.
98.5.
- Okay. - Okay, let's catch up!
Yeah, let's go. Thank you.
Yeah, we'll be back. We'll be right back.
Just under 100 kilos.
One more load. We should be able to do this.
- Okay. - Ooh, okay.
My forearms are cramping. I'm sorry.
Okay, mama.
I think I have a lot here, so...
We kind of do this in Philadelphia, too.
Except instead of a sheep it's a keg,
and instead of milk it's beer.
Okay. I'll be right back. Okay.
I think this could be half a liter.
Hello!
Hi. How are you?
A 102-year-old great-grandmother
of the farm was there.
She was the cutest lady ever.
Might be enough.
Okay.
Okay. It's good.
Yay! Okay, great.
Thank you so much.
Actually got it on my first check.
I was just so thrilled with that.
You have to eat all of this.
My gosh. Okay, great.
And then I got to eat Bulgarian yogurt.
I'm eating Bulgarian yogurt.
She doesn't look 102.
- Yes, she is. - Wow.
So delicious. I wish I could have this at home.
- Okay, perfect. - Thank you.
- And congratulations. - Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
- Bye. - Bye-bye.
- Voulez-vous?! yes! - Yes, babe! Good job!
I had to eat a whole bunch of yogurt and it was so good.
The village of Elin pelin,
named after a famous Bulgarian author,
will serve as the pit stop for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here will be eliminated.
That was so cool!
- I don't see it. - Doesn't help
- that I don't see well. - It's not in any of that.
Okay, let's just start on the next one.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's hope it's in this one.
This has taken... A toll on me, a little bit.
Damn, this is tough.
Forearms want to die.
- Seventy-seven. - So, 71 and 77.
That means we're at 148.
We need 52 more.
- Final push, Holden. - Go back for more.
- One more round, Holden. Let's do it. - Let's go.
Let's go, han and Holden.
Melinda and Erika are still out there looking.
You want to fit any more in there?
- No, you're good, bro. - All right, let's go.
- Let's move. - All right, this has got to be it.
Let's make it happen.
This is our last one. Two and done, baby.
I'm sweating like crazy.
- Okay, what about this? - This is looking
like a village to me.
There it is, and no cars are here. Rats.
- Well. - Shoot.
- Hello. - All right.
Let's get these apples.
And you got to grab those. Okay, I got 'em.
No. The goats want 'em.
My god! No! No!
- What the... - Wow!
Whoa!
Hey!
- Whoa! - Whoa!
Wow.
Are we good?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
"Who's ready to fill her up?" It's gonna be me.
- Okay, sure. - We'll just mix it. You know what I mean?
"Who what's to fill her up?" So, I was like, "maybe gasoline
- "or something." I don't know. - Or a hole or whatever. Yeah.
Or a hole, yeah. That's it. So, I was like,
"I'll do it."
Milk? My god.
My desire is to pass away from this life
without ever having to touch an udder.
Damn it, babe. The one thing I didn't want to do is milk.
But I don't have a choice now.
I d-i don't have a choice.
All right, babe, you got it.
Sorry, buddy.
He can't... He doesn't want to do it.
It went down, but I'm not getting anything out.
Take your time.
And don't be afraid.
We got milk.
- We got milk. - Somewhat.
But we got milk. Good boy or girl.
Whatever you are. You're a girl to me, okay?
Yeah, babe. Slow and steady.
So, I'm gonna just check this, and then see
how much more I need.
Okay, let's see.
My gosh.
No. You have to go back.
Okay.
I'm gonna have to do a better job.
I just want to itch my face.
- Gosh. Okay. - Itch, itch, itch.
I don't know.
I know. This is, like, my nightmare.
- It's okay. - Literally my nightmare.
- We need 102 on that scale to hit 200. - Yeah.
101.5, to be exact.
- What do we got? - 100.5.
Come on. That's insane.
We were one kilo away.
One more kilo! Go back!
- Man. - Let's go, Mike.
Which was literally just
a few more pieces of wood.
So, that was pretty devastating.
This is brutal.
But, you know, the whole race, we've had
one motto, which is, "focus on what
you can control and forget the rest."
And we still were able to pass han and Holden.
- We got this, bro. - Yeah.
Makes me a little nervous
that we haven't seen her yet.
Han and Holden and Nick and Mike are still there.
Okay. I don't see it.
I'm beginning to think we missed it.
That would be really unfortunate.
This is not fun.
Okay. Good job.
- Good? We're good. - Please.
Let's go, Mike. Come on. Thank you, my friend.
Thank you very much.
- "Double u-turn ahead." My god. - Let's go.
Can't do any more than we are.
I don't know.
- I got it! - You got it? Yes, mom!
- Where do we go? - Great job.
Go bring it to the farmer right there.
Nice job, mom, nice job.
Hi. Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you. - Thank you.
"Caution. Double u-turn ahead." All right, we got to go.
Are han and Holden done? I think they're done.
Nick and Mike were the only ones behind us.
We got to u-turn 'em.
All right, we're good.
Yeah, we're good. Is that 52?
Yeah, but let's just put all of these down.
Good job.
- Good. - Present for you.
- Thank you. - Thank you, sir.
"Caution. Double u-turn ahead." Okay, let's go.
Nick and Mike are still right there. We got to rush 'em to it.
- Where's the church? - Got to beat 'em to it, mom.
- Looks like they got it, Mike. - See a church anywhere?
No.
The clue said, "caution. Double u-turn ahead."
And Melinda and Erika had just finished
the hay challenge, so we saw them,
maybe 20 seconds ahead of us.
- We have to do Nick and Mike, okay? - I know that.
Don't tell them that's ahead.
But at that point, we had done a super physical challenge,
so I was just really dead tired.
We got to u-turn 'em.
But then we quickly realized they were really
sprinting down the path towards the church.
And I'm like, "Nick, we got to go right now."
- It's a footrace. - I can't run.
- You don't have to run. - I'm sorry.
Let's go, let's beat them in a footrace.
They're walking in front of us, Mike. Let's go.
Doing the best I can right now.
- My knee hurts, and it's bad. - Hurts?
- I don't want you... - I got to do the best I can.
- I can't have them outrun me. - Here it is, Mike.
Let's go. We got to move. Come on.
- There it is. I see it. - Yup. Bell tower.
- It's right there. - We're almost there.
Go, go, go.
Nick and Mike's the only team we know for sure behind us.
- We have to. - We don't have a choice.
- You want to do it? - We have to.
We're both really competitive.
- Mike, let's go! - But when we're at home,
I'm definitely more of the super cutthroat one.
- Nick and Mike, I'm so sorry. - Do it.
And then, she's like, "do it," and it's just
- wasn't quite that drastic. - Not...
It's do or die. What are you gonna do?
We don't have a choice.
I know. So sorry.
They would have done the same thing to us.
There's three behind us.
Sorry, you guys. We thought you were the only team.
- I'm so sorry. - All good.
As soon as I looked in the clue box and saw that
there was additional clues, I regretted it instantly.
Yeah.
- Who's behind us? - We don't know.
Han and Holden.
I feel so bad now. I feel so bad.
I feel so bad, you guys.
We choose to u-turn han and Holden. All right.
- Let's go. - I'm so sorry, you guys.
Even though we saw them running towards the church,
it was very surprising when we got to that board
and we saw Melinda and Erika had u-turned us.
We got to do the other side.
I just didn't see the reason.
- I feel so bad. - I feel so bad.
- We messed up. - That's okay.
All right, here's Nick and Mike.
- Do you think they u-turned us? - No.
As we were running to the board,
Nick and Mike were running back, and I was like,
"they must have gotten u-turned."
- We both got u-turned. - What?
We both had to u-turn each other.
They u-turned us, we had to u-turn.
- You u-turned us? - We had to.
That sucks.
And then they told us that they u-turned us, so...
That really sucked.
- They u-turned us. - All right, we're u-turned.
Let's go. Let's move.
These three right in the middle, right here?
One, two, three, right? Let's go.
Remember, we're looking for yellow and red.
Cannot believe they u-turned us.
No matter what, we've seen some cool things.
True.
So, I'm...
Feeling a little happier, a little perkier.
Yeah, definitely there's nothing like a hair dance
to get you... get you going.
Look at that.
You're a farmer now.
What I have learned is
that I don't have a problem milking something.
I thought I always would.
That's the kind of cool part about the race.
Damn. I'm good at this.
She's ready.
She's a little milkmaid. Look at her.
I am a milkmaid.
Okay.
- Now I think he's good. Yes. - Yes!
Okay. You have to eat all of this.
- I have to eat all of it? - Yes.
I will. Thank you so much.
Getting to sit in that moment and not race,
just enjoy this fresh sheep yogurt...
- On this hill, beautiful green... - On this hill,
with this woman... that was probably
my favorite moment of the day
and one of my favorite moments of this race.
- And congratulations. - Thank you very much.
You're welcome. Have good luck.
Thank you.
- "Race to the pit stop." Let's go. - Let's do this.
- "Ready to fill her up." - Let's go. Let's go.
- Okay. - Here we go. This is exciting.
Let's see. "Milk a sheep -"milk..."
- That is so cool. - "For a farmer
who makes Bulgarian yogurt."
Aw.
Got it. Let me try.
Whatever you do, do not tip over that pot.
I heard it!
I saw the wrangler start at the top,
and then you massage all the way down.
I'm gonna call her Maggie.
How many babies do you have, Maggie?
Thank you for sharing your milk with us.
You got the technique. I hear it.
Is there any way you can do it faster?
No.
Man.
Can't believe we got passed by two teams.
Welcome to the mat.
Welcome to Sofia, Bulgaria.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.
- It's so beautiful. - Allyssa and Josiah,
I am pleased to tell you, after seven legs
of the amazing race, you are team number one.
Yes. Yes!
And I do have some great news for you.
As the winners of this leg of the race,
you have one key cash from expedia,
and you are going to.
- Marrakech, Morocco.! - My god!
That's so cool.
Experts at expedia have designed a five-night
unique experience, with a private tour of the city,
hot air balloon ride over the atlas mountains
a freshly-prepared berber breakfast,
and a three-day Sahara desert tour.
- What? - This is so cool.
I always say, "pride comes before the fall,"
but we deserve a little bit of time
to feel really proud of ourselves.
We've been chasing that first-place spot
ever since Hong Kong.
I didn't think the first self-driving leg
was gonna be when we got it.
We were so nervous for this.
So I'm just really proud of us today.
Come on.
- Come find us. - All right, Holden.
- Let's compose. - Yup.
- Game's not over. - I agree.
I think we have better attention to detail than them.
Let's go, bro. We got this.
Let's keep playing.
Looks like we're in this with han and Holden now.
Once again, we're right on the brink.
You got to comb through it, bro.
- You combing? - Yeah. Sure.
Okay, let's start.
I'm gonna get a rash from this.
U-turning sucks, man.
I'm kind of annoyed.
I understand, but annoyed.
You take that side, I'm gonna take the back side.
This just sucks.
Excuse me. Do you know where belopoptsi?
That's not around here?
Wrong direction?
We're the wrong way?
- Okay. Thank you so much. - Thank you so much.
This is probably other teams' dream right now.
- Yes. - Of us being lost.
- Yes. Absolutely. - At the moment.
Although we're not lost. I would not say we're lost anymore.
But we're not found.
- We are not found. - No.
This thing's not here.
I say we move.
Let's go.
- Man. - This is our second haystack.
Hopefully, we don't got to go to three.
Do you think we should move faster?
We're good. Shaking it out is our only hope.
I definitely don't want to come back and do this again.
So I'm gonna see if I can just get enough for a little extra.
Okay. Let me try.
Grandma?
Hi.
- Perfect. -! All right!
Yes!
Did she get it?
Cheers, grandma.
- Yes! - Perfect. And congratulations.
Thank you so much. Thank you, grandma.
All right.
Babe, we did it.
- Where are you, bracelet? - This is awful.
The last pile, so hopefully we can find it.
Come on.
This is brutal.
Looks like han and Holden are still on their first one.
- We're gonna find this bracelet. - Yeah, we are.
Be one with the hay.
Yeah, so far, they haven't found it yet,
we haven't found it yet.
Feel pretty exhausted right now.
I'm in Terminator mode.
Just keep fighting.
With this detour, it was really a practice of
Patience.
- Don't do that! - Why? It comes out.
No, it doesn't, bro.
Why do you do that?
Just be patient.
And I think that, like, our attention to detail
is better than Nick and Mike's.
Just shake it out like this.
It comes right... right apart.
They went through three haystacks so fast.
We are down to our last haystack,
so hopefully, we find it in this bottom pile.
It isn't here.
- I think we should do the next pile. - Yeah.
- Okay, come on, Holden. - Worst detour ever.
Pretty sure we're fighting for last place.
At this point, yeah.
Maybe teams got lost.
Okay, to the library.
We got to find it in here?
It would have to be a big book to fit a clue, don't you think?
Maybe, yeah.
Well, well, well.
- Here. Right here. All right. - What?!
Needle in a haystack knowing we're last is probably
I know, but it-it... What if we get it immediately?
- Sure. Sure. - We could make up a lot of time.
We got to find it.
- It's unfortunate, but... - Keep fighting.
We've seen teams survive a u-turn before.
It's not here.
We had to have missed it.
Man.
We took down all three haystacks
and didn't find the bracelet.
And that's when we realized, "okay",
"there's a high probability
"that we pulled the hay off the stack,
"put it to the ground, and it was stuck
somewhere in the middle of that piece of hay."
Come on.
It was a pretty devastating moment
because that meant we were now gonna have
to go through all the hay from scratch again.
I know, bro.
Where are you?
Don't give up.
- I found it. - They got it, Nick.
God, this sucks.
We're the last team again?
Thank you,
- thank you, thank you. - Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- We already know what it says. - We know it.
- We know where we need to go. - Good job, Holden.
- Never back down, never what? - Never quit!
Just gonna keep fighting.
I don't know what else to do.
Let's flatten this whole section out.
This is insane.
Just gorgeous.
Welcome to Sofia, Bulgaria.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much. Thank you.
I'm pleased to tell you that you're team number two.
Yes.
"Snezha's farm to find your next clue."
Come on, let's go.
We're not done yet!
This is crazy.
Yeah. Got to just keep moving, though.
Bro, that's not checking.
That's why we probably missed it.
You got to sift through it.
Boy.
Yeah, baby.!
My god.
Welcome to Sofia, Bulgaria.
- Thank you. Thank you for having us. - Thank you.
You are once again on the podium.
You are team number three. Congratulations.
- Yes! - We'll take it.
I know when you first came into the race,
particularly when things didn't go your way,
you were extremely hard on yourself
- and-and your-your team. - Yeah. Yeah.
What's the most important thing
you feel like you've learned on this race?
If I could learn to become more resilient and to,
stay confident, through adversity and through the lows,
I think we could maybe have a good shot at winning.
We went in the wrong direction,
which... we at least kept asking, but we knew.
Maybe this will lead to our demise, and we shouldn't
have done the u-turn and this is our Karma.
Holden's gonna do it.
My. Geez.
I have never milked a sheep before.
It was not as easy as it looked, because, like, I didn't know
where, like, the squirt hole was coming from.
His hands are all milked.
I literally sprayed my glasses.
My shirt is stained with sheep milk.
Because, like, yeah, I couldn't control it.
We've got about half a liter definitely, but...
You're doing amazing, Holden!
My god.
Exhausted. I'm not really sure what else to do.
This is just turning into an impossible task.
Keep searching.
It's getting hotter and hotter
- and hotter. - Come on, Mike. Don't give up.
We're probably, like, three hours behind.
This is gonna be tough.
Maybe needle in a haystack took other teams hours.
Don't give up.
This race is unpredictable,
and... anything is possible.
Okay, this looks like marked parking.
- My god. Do you think? - No way.
I don't know how much longer I can do it, bro.
Been at this for hours.
At what point do we take a penalty?
- Do you think so? - I just like holding out hope.
- Maybe it is. - Yeah, maybe.
Would you consider it or no?
Go out on our terms?
- We're gonna keep going? - What else is there to do?
It's really hot, bro. I'm about to, like, pass out.
We've been at this for hours.
It's not even about giving up at this point.
It's about just, like, what are we gonna do?
There's another team.
- Look. - What?
- There are people here. - I can't believe it.
- Right there. - It's Nick and Mike.
- They just got here? - Yeah. - I can't believe it, Jack.
- What? - Let's go.
Doesn't even make sense. I guess they must have gotten lost.
We're still in it, Jack. A million dollars.
Let's do it.
There are people here, Jack.
Whoa. Okay, car.
Nick and Mike were in a field...
- Let's do it. - Sifting through a bunch of hay.
Looks like they're coming to the haystacks.
Come on, Mike. Let's get it.
- Hope is still alive. - We...
When I tell you, I was completely stunned.
It made no sense. It actually made no sense.
- Yeah. - They were
- three hours ahead of us. - Hey, dudes.
- What's up, guys? - What's up, guys?
How are you?
- There's always hope. - Yup. Just a little bit
- of luck. - Just a little bit of luck.
Initially, my instinct was
that we should try for haystack because it could take forever,
but it could take 30 seconds.
Their haystacks are gone.
Do you want to try and do the different one?
They're tired from doing this.
- Do you want to switch? I mean... - What do you think?
But then we realized, Nick and Mike were
living a life I did not
- want to live. - My god. - Don't give up, Mike.
- I think we do it. - Let's do it.
- I think we do it. - Yeah. Okay, let's go quick.
We're gonna switch.
We saw our futures in Nick and Mike.
Looks like they're switching. Smart move on their part.
And we realized we could go to the other detour
and make progress.
It seems like they are completely lost.
Let's go, Jack.
And know that slowly and surely,
we're heading towards a finish line.
I wish we could just do another 200 pounds.
I would do another 800 pounds.
- Go forward, Jack. - You think?
Yeah. Come on!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Gosh.
Okay.
Come on, Jack.
You got this, Jack.
Where is your 102-year-old mother?
Now we will see.
Okay. That's perfect.
Now you have to eat all of this.
All of it?
- Yes. - Okay, thank you.
Can I wash my hands first?
One moment.
I have, like, poop.
This is so awesome.
That's enough. Thank you.
- And congratulations. - Yeah. Thank you.
Han, let's go.
- Yes! Slay. - All right.
You got milk on your
I don't want to know what that is.
- You want to do it? - Guess it's me.
- Do you want to? Okay. - We don't have a choice.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm getting milk, Erika!
Nice job, mom! You got it. Nice job.
- Keep it up, keep it up. - Where you going, girl?
Where are you going, honey bunny?
I need you. I need you. You can't go anywhere.
Baa.
I don't know how much a half a liter is.
It was so painful u-turning Nick and Mike.
We feel horrible and we really like Nick and Mike.
Let's hope they survive it.
You got this, you got this.
Push through, push through.
You got this. You're amazing.
- You're amazing. Come on. - Where is it?
- It's down here. - Come on. We got it
I don't know if I can do this.
Jack, I'm carrying this the whole time.
My back is killing me.
It was so, so taxing, physically,
trying to get this wood down the street.
We're the heroes.
Sam and Frodo. You got this.
Come on, Jack. You got this.
You got this!
I kept thinking back to me 45 minutes ago,
so defeated, and what that Carson would give
to have some
sliver of a chance to stay in this game.
- So, 65.5. - Go for more.
65.5.
Let's do it in two more.
It's gonna be the hardest we've ever worked,
and we're gonna win a million dollars, Jack.
They're still here. Great news.
Man. My legs feel like they're gonna collapse.
I'm literally gonna pass out, bro.
- We're still alive, bro. - I'm gonna pass out.
- They're doing another trip.
Looks like they finished their first trip.
Probably got another two in them.
- We got this. We can do anything. - Yeah, we can do it.
Boy.
This sucks, man. Come on.
This really sucks.
Great job, great job.
- Slow and steady. - I think I...
- You got it, mom. - I hope so.
You did.
- Yes, I got enough. - I can see that.
Nice job. Nice job, mom.
Yay! I did it, Erika!
Okay.
Now you have to eat all of this.
- All of it? - Yes.
- What is it? Like, yogurt? - Yes.
This is Bulgarian yogurt from these sheeps here.
- Wow. - Yes.
She's 102 years old.
- 102? - Yes.
- Wow. - She eat this milk every day.
- I can see why. - Yes.
And, congratulations and to your luck.
Thank you. Thank you. You look beautiful.
You're beautiful for 102.
Thank you.
All right, Erika!
"The last team to check in will be eliminated."
Okay, let's look on the map this time.
All right, we're gonna look on the map this time.
Come on in.
You are team number four.
- I don't want to leave any. - Sorry. I know.
The wood stack was such a struggle.
You got this, Jack. You're amazing.
You're amazing. Come on.
Come on. Push through.
On the wheelbarrow,
your arms were hurting, your back was hurting.
- Ooh. - And then, on the backpack, it was like,
I felt like the hunchback of notre dame.
Okay. What are we at?
Eighty-five plus 65.
So, 150. We can do it one more.
Where are you?
- Where are you? - My god.
- Come on, where are you? - I'm starting to lose my mind.
At this point I'm getting delusional.
Man.
- Where are you? - This is insane.
Remember that time
we searched through hay for about seven hours?
- You have to laugh, bro. - Maybe it flew away.
If you don't laugh, you'll cry.
Nick; Wish I had some X-ray vision right now.
Would love to know where this thing really is.
I don't think this thing is here.
I really don't.
If you think you have what it takes
to win the amazing race,
then to go to CBS.Com/casting and apply now.
The world is waiting for you.
- Bro, look at this field. - At this point, I don't
- even know where the three piles are. - Aw, man.
Can you believe we still haven't found this thing?
I don't understand how it's possible.
No idea where this thing could be at this point.
Will you help me out with this off of me?
Of course.
- Okay. Got it. - Okay.
How much do we need?
- Let's keep an eye on the scale. - We need, like
- I think we only need... We're good. - 72.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you.
My god. I'm so proud of us.
- Please. - Thank you. Thank you so much.
- You ready? - Let's go.
"Double u-turn ahead."
- Jack. - That's why they had to do it.
- Really? They think it's us? - I bet.
- Yeah. Okay. - Double u-turn.
- Well, that sucks. - Yeah.
- Thank you. Thank you, sir. - Thank you.
Unless... I don't know. Unless a miracle.
Keep on dreaming.
Good job, good job.
You're almost there. Hit the mat. Hit the mat.
Nice job, mom.
- It was a rough day. - It was so hard
doing the u-turn. We thought...
We-we thought there was nobody behind us but the one team.
- Yeah. - So we u-turned 'em.
Had you not done that, I doubt
you would be standing here in fifth place.
So, congratulations.
- Fifth place. - Nice job, mom.
They just finished the wood.
Nick and Mike are still there.
We, felt like we did a lot of things right today.
- That's the church way up there. - We got beat
by a needle in a haystack.
Looks like we're gonna be here till Phil gets here.
We gave it our all, bro.
Know why this happened?
Yeah.
Okay, let's see.
Two people u-turn.
- It's looking like us, Jack. - Yeah.
- It's looking like us. - It's got to be.
Got to be. Let's finish strong.
- No! No! - No, it's not us?
- My god. - What?!
It's not us. Han and Holden. My god. My god.
- My god. - My god.
I'm not a religious man.
- What? - My god.
But to not be u-turned felt like a gift from god.
"Go to snezha's farm to find your next clue."
- Let's go. Let's go. - My god.
Bulgaria tried to kill me.
I think moving forward, we really need
to just sort of remember,
and to be like, "no, like",
"let's run, let's get there.
"Let's see for sure." Because you never,
ever, ever, ever know.
What a turn of events.
And I think I need someone like Jack
who, all day,
when I was feeling down on myself in the car was
making me feel everything was gonna be okay.
He was laughing much more than I was.
Car, that sheep loves you.
Yeah.
- For you. Congratulations. - Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
So today was a huge lesson in, like,
keep that flame lit.
Boy.
The philiminator.
What's up, Phil?
Nick and Mike.
How many hours have you been out here, guys?
- I think six. - About six hours.
Yeah. I mean, all the other teams have checked into the mat,
and that's why I've come out here.
Just wanted to put you out of your misery.
Sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race.
A city kid's not meant for the farm, Phil.
You still got a sense of humor.
You have to, man.
Look, you guys waited seven long years
to run seven legs of the amazing race.
What are the things you're most gonna remember?
I jumped out of a plane in Dubai.
- That was pretty awesome. - Rode a camel.
We rode some camels.
Atv'd through a cave
in the middle of the forest in Bali.
And here you are at the end out in a hayfield
in Bulgaria.
What a way to end this.
Wasn't how we wanted to end it, but
just overwhelmed with gratitude, to be honest with you.
Proud of you guys.
Proud of you for sticking it out.
I think that our family's gonna be really proud of us.
And we have become better men because of the amazing race.
I can say that wholeheartedly.
And I think they're gonna be proud of the love that
we showed for each other,
because we have a really strong brotherly bond.
Yes, we do. Love you, bro.
Gave it our best shot, bro.
