The Amazing Race Australia (2011–…): Season 6, Episode 1 - Leg 1 (Australia - Morocco) - Group A - full transcript
Dust off your passports and pack your bags as we go international. Vibrant Morocco is set to be the first leg of a huge globe-trotting adventure.
Over two years ago,
our world went into lockdown.
Planes were grounded,
tourist destinations deserted.
And city streets lay empty.
But not anymore.
Right now I'm in Melbourne.
I'm on my way to the start line
of the greatest race on Earth.
Now that international travel
is back, we're going global.
It's time to get a few stamps
on the old passport, eh?
Our teams are about to embark
on the adventure of a lifetime.
I just want to get on a plane
and go somewhere!
- From the exotic...
- That looks amazing!
..to the unimaginable.
Argh! This shark's,
like, right under me.
It's the biggest race
the world has ever seen.
Oh, my gosh!
I've never touched snow before.
And teams will challenge
themselves...
Oh!
This is a bit close for comfort.
We're married, babe.
That is true.
..physically...
Sorry!
..and mentally...
This is not what defines you.
I just wanna do it!
..like never, ever before.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
This is the Amazing Race Australia!
Our adventure begins in Melbourne,
at Flemington Racecourse,
the home of the race
that stops the nation...
Back and racing!
..the Melbourne Cup.
It's a fantastic go.
A dead heat!
..and our 10 teams are now making
their way to the starting gate.
- Welcome to Melbourne!
- Whoo!
We are at the start line
of what is going to be the most epic
adventure of your lifetime.
Because of COVID,
we've just been so restricted
to what we can and can't do.
I feel like our youth's almost
just getting taken away from us.
We're going on a crazy little ride
we like to call
The Amazing Race Australia.
Only one pair will be
crowned champions...
..and take home the biggest prize
in Amazing Race Australia history.
Yeah!
A staggering 250 grand cash.
Phew!
And two brand-new Isuzus.
One of you will drive away
in the Isuzu D-MAX,
while the other will win
the Isuzu MU-X.
It's on!
Oh, MU-X.
I'll have the MU-X.
Pako and Mori,
you haven't stopped smiling.
Oh, yeah, we're always smiling.
We're just the class clowns.
It wouldn't be a show
without newlyweds.
Would you say
this is your honeymoon, guys?
I guess so. We haven't had one yet.
We haven't had one.
That's gotta make you pretty hungry
for the win.
Awww!
Flick and Gabby,
you've sized up your competition.
Now, who do you think's
the biggest threat?
The biggest threat's probably
ourselves, to be honest.
We've got a cafe together.
Gab's super competitive
and super fit,
and I'm a bossy boots.
Yeah.
So...
Alright, that's enough talk.
Let's get down to business.
- Who's ready?
- Yes!
- Are you ready?
- Yes!
You'll find your first clue
on top of your backpacks
outside the racecourse.
As I always say, race hard,
but above all, race safe.
Let's get it on. Good luck.
Three,
two, one!
Go!
Go! Go! Go! Come on.
Yep. Come on.
Come on. Come on!
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
Where's the arrows?
I want to have that moment
where I'm just standing in a country
and I grab my husband -
"Babe, look where we are."
Come on, come on, come on.
This way.
We've got this.
Come on.
Good jog.
I can't believe we're gonna
get to see the whole world.
You just shot off
and left me behind.
Oh, yeah.
Stay with it, baby.
As soon as we started dating,
we wanted to go overseas together.
There's the bags over there.
Let's go.
OK.
Come on!
Grab the bag. Here.
Come on.
Argh!
Great start.
Route Info.
"Fly to Ouarzazate in Morocco."
In Africa! Oh, my God!
Wow.
"The gateway to the Sahara Desert."
What is that thing? Morocco!
Whoa!
The kingdom of Morocco
in the north-west corner of Africa
is a vibrant nation of spice, colour
and age-old craftsmanship.
Combining influences
of the Sub-Saharan Africa,
Middle East and Europe,
it maintains its ancient traditions
of its original residents,
the Berber people.
And it is the epic location
of the first leg
of The Amazing Race Australia.
Alright. Where are they?
The taxi's right there.
Get the front one!
Get to a taxi.
Kelly, this one!
Melbourne Tullamarine Airport.
Hello!
First through the gate.
Yeah!
I definitely
should have trained harder.
Dad's very fit.
I'm a bit more flexible.
Yeah.
Not that I'm saying
she's not flexible.
I'm not really that flexible.
Alright, I can see the bags.
Let's hop in.
I've never been to Morocco.
Oh, my God!
Yay!
Now we're in a race on the way.
Stop! Boot's open.
Let's go!
Oh!
Morocco!
Oh, my God.
Tifoultoute. Let's go.
In we go!
Can you take us to
Melbourne Airport?
Oh, what about that run, eh?
That was next level.
That newlywed couple were together.
He was running with his wife.
Being, "Come on, honey!"
And where were you? At the end.
Just trying to get the clue for us.
I'm a senior property manager,
so I look after the rent roll.
And I'm Chelsea's
property manager's assistant.
Yes.
Endurance, baby. All day. Let's go.
Oh, here we go.
We have been engaged
for six years now.
Is that another one, over there?
At the end of this, we're either
gonna agree to organising a wedding
or we're not.
So we've had that discussion.
I don't know if people saw us
as, like, the Asian Wiggles
or something like that.
Yeah!
Feels like this reminds me
of, like, a Jetstar or...
Rubik's cube.
As nerdy, you know, Asian siblings,
we used to share a bedroom
when we were kids.
I just remember going to sleep
and singing, like, 'Pokemon'.
I mean...
How did I know
you were gonna mention that?
I've been to Bali
and New Zealand and that's it.
And now I'm going to Morocco?!
For the past month, I've been
working on getting my beauty routine
as small and condensed as possible.
Ouarzazan...Ouarzazate.
I've condensed my beauty routine...
Yeah, yeah.
..right down as well.
International, mate.
Get ready to go.
Stop, stop.
Quick!
Oh, that's the yellow team.
Hey, it's happening.
This way, hon.
Oh, no, go the other way.
Let's go!
Whoo!
Walk up this way.
Hold up.
Let's go, Morocco!
Whoo!
All teams are now on a journey
from Melbourne
to Ouarzazate, Morocco.
The capital
of the Ouarzazate province,
this city is located
on a bare plateau
south of the High Atlas Mountains
at an elevation of 1,160 metres.
Right in front!
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
- Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!
- This one.
This one?
Yeah, it's good.
- Where's the driver?
- Taxi, Jodie!
Ouarzazate. Amazing!
This is us.
Like, it's pinch-yourself moment.
Taxi!
Taxi!
Do you know how to get
to Kasbah Tifoultoute?
Can we please go there?
Yeah, that was good.
Teams are now racing
to Kasbah Tifoultoute.
Formerly owned by
the Pasha of Marrakech,
this fortress was built
in the 17th century,
but now it's a restaurant.
And out the front is their next clue.
Thank you, driver.
Very beautiful place.
Wait, I have a word for that.
Yeah, you do have a word.
Let me look at my, uh...
my little glossary.
We're both bossy.
Yeah!
We're both teachers. You can't have
two teachers in a classroom.
A teacher has only one classroom
and there's two of us.
So...I don't know.
Yeah.
One's gonna be the student at times
and one's gonna be the teacher.
Yeah.
Incredible. Like...
Incredible. It's crazy we're here.
Growing up in a country town,
we're so used to
the small town country life.
There's just massive mountains
over there.
It's so eye-opening. Like, I never
thought how different it is.
It's started! It's started!
We're in Morocco!
We've been together for 10 years.
Also married!
Ooh! Gotta shake all those nerves!
Initially when I first saw Morocco,
I had a bit of a fear
because it's illegal to be LGBTQI.
It's nerve-racking,
but it's exciting.
It was an added stress.
Yeah.
But we're resilient.
We're into it, we're into it.
Oh, my God! Look at the hills! They
look like the ones in the Pilbara.
They look like home.
Like, the mountains at home.
We're both from Aboriginal families.
Where we live, almost everyone
you see is, like, family, like...
Yeah.
As auntie and niece,
we're pretty close.
Kind of feel close in age
even though there's a 15-year gap.
What's your name, sir?
Mohammed.
Nice to meet you, Mohamed.
Awesome driver.
You got this?
Know where you're going?
Yeah, yeah.
The driver's got no idea.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, Kasbah Tifoultout here!
Wow!
Oh, my God.
We're here.
Looks like a big castle.
This is amazing.
Can you wait here for us?
You wait here? OK.
Kelly!
Yeah?
Where?
Come. Over here. I can see it.
- Where's the next clue?
- Where's the clue?
Where's the clue?
Right here.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Get it. Right.
OK. Route Info.
"Correctly identify 5 spices by
taste to receive your next clue."
Now, Moroccan cuisine
is a unique blend of spices
used in most traditional dishes.
In this challenge,
team members must take a spoonful
of the five spices in front of them -
pepper, cumin, turmeric,
ginger and paprika.
When they correctly identify
all five,
my mate Jawad will give them
their next clue.
Now, Jawad, which one should I try?
Paprika.
I was thinking turmeric.
Oh, that tastes good.
Yeah, OK, where's...
where's the restaurant?
Let's go here. OK, come here.
We cook very basic at home.
I'd say our palate
is very, very simple.
"One of you needs to taste
the spices."
Are you good with spices?
Oh, my God.
Spices definitely aren't our forte.
"Only one of you needs
to taste the spices."
OK.
OK.
"You must put a large spoonful
of each spice in your mouth."
You gotta taste it.
Yeah, I'm going to.
"Spit it out in buckets provided."
OK.
Literally we have one spice
in our cupboard.
What is it?
Don't know.
Mmm!
Here's water if you need it.
- Do you know what that one is?
- I don't know.
How're we meant to know what they
are if we've never eaten spices?
- Oh. No. Let's go.
- Hoo!
Do you want to do the spices?
I love to cook and
I use spices often in the kitchen.
Alright.
I think I already know what that is.
Cumin?
Yeah... No!
Ground coriander.
Ohh.
"Once you've correctly
identified the spices,
"you will receive your next clue."
Let's go!
I'm doing this, OK?
It's nerve-racking 'cause...
It's nerve-racking!
..normally there's a label
on the spice...
Yeah! Yeah!
..that we buy.
Heaped!
Trust yourself, Flicka.
You're really good at this stuff.
You know your spices.
I don't know what this one is.
Go!
Route Info.
"Correctly identify five spices
by taste..."
"..to receive your next clue."
Yeah. OK.
It was pretty cool
running into this big open space
and beautiful Arabic architecture.
It looked like, literally,
a scene off 'Aladdin'.
Whoo! Just need a bit of chicken
with all this.
Tammy was
actually swallowing
the full tablespoons of spice.
I thought you had to!
So I may eat it as well!
What a time to be alive.
Indeed.
Ooh! There's a...
Ooh! I think I know what that is.
Oh, up here.
Oh, gosh!
No swearing.
Here's the tables.
Tot, you've got it.
"Correctly identify five spices
by taste to receive your next clue."
OK.
Over here, Pako?
Yeah, this way.
You good?
Where's the spoons?
- OK, here we go.
- Good luck, Dad.
That's heaped.
Ohh!
What do you reckon it is?
Oh. Powder. I don't know.
Question mark.
Have a guess
if you need to.
Oh, no! What do we put on curry?
Tell me...
It's alright.
Take your time. Settle.
We have no idea.
We couldn't even name five spices.
You want to help each other out?
Yeah. What are you stuck on?
We had to work with other teams.
So we know for sure
turmeric is the middle one.
Yeah.
Ginger is that one.
Do you think it is?
Oh, OK. So, ginger...
So we think that is cumin.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
How do you spell that?
C-U... I-N.
Cumin.
Cumin.
Seem to be colluding.
Who?
The green and the...
Don't worry about it.
Cumin. Yep.
Hello!
Alright, pepper, cumin...
Say it quiet.
Shh!
..turmeric,
ginger, paprika.
Yay!
Whoo! You got it. You got it.
Thank you, thank you. Correct.
..cumin, pepper.
Yes!
Thank you. Let's go.
Thank you so much!
Let's go.
Oh!
We've got to be the worst rippers
in history.
Detour.
A detour is a choice
between two challenges,
each with its own pros and cons.
In this detour, teams must travel
to the Ouarzazate old town
and choose either In a Line
or Off the Line.
Household chores are the same
all over the world
and laundry's always top of the list.
But in Morocco,
laundry's a communal task.
Teams that choose this detour
must come down to the fountain
where all the locals' laundry
has been mixed up.
Using the local family's name tags
attached to the clothes,
teams must identify
five different name tags
and sort the laundry
by those name tags,
then fold the clothes
into five matching piles.
Once they've folded
five piles correctly,
the local ladies
will give them the next clue.
I think this is one of Jonathan
LaPaglia's 'Survivor' shirts.
If they choose In a Line,
the team must identify
five varieties of dates,
and using this board as a guide,
order them from cheapest
to most expensive.
And once they get the order right...
..they'll receive their next clue.
Off the Line. Yep.
Let's go!
We've got this.
That one was so hard!
My mouth is still on fire.
Right. We're gonna do Off the Line.
Thank you.
Do I still have it on my face?
A little bit in your teeth.
That's alright.
Eww!
Quick!
Come on, come on, come on!
..white pepper, sweet paprika.
Yes!
It was pretty stressful
hearing in the background
when teams got it right.
Good work, babe. Oh, my gosh!
It can feel like
a little bit deflating.
If they know it, then we know it.
We're doing the dates.
Cool. Oh, yeah.
You cool with that?
Yeah.
Sweet. Let's go.
Come on. Where's our taxi?
Taxi!
Taxi!
I still have pepper
in my mouth.
I know. Spicy spice.
Nothing a little laundry won't help.
We are sisters by birth
and best friends by choice.
She's by the books, structured.
And I'm like,
"Yeah, don't worry about it."
Thank you!
That way! Let's go!
Mmm. Gabby.
Keep going, Flick.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh, thank you!
Yes!
Laundry!
Hello!
Yep, let's go.
Start folding, Flick.
Let's get ahead.
And that's how it should look.
We used to fold people's laundries
on Airtasker.
They're not in English.
Alright.
Let's put them in order.
Yeah. Let's start.
OK.
Yeah.
So just try to see
if it looks the same.
Once we started seeing
that the names were so similar,
we actually kind of said, "Let's
look at it as a picture instead."
And find, like, common dots
or, like, things.
Dot, dot-dot-dot, diamond.
Let's do it properly once.
Come on, Dad.
We're smarter than this.
You smell that.
Do you think it's pepper?
Yep.
OK.
Alright, let's go.
This way.
Right. Pepper.
Marjoram.
No.
Oh, God.
I've got no idea.
I've got no idea.
Think, think, think, think.
Oh! Argh!
Oh!
Oh.
Mum would be good at this.
First after route marker was the
'Spice Up Your Life' challenge.
It was so overwhelming, I think...
Yeah.
..'cause it was the tastes.
And some of them would hit you...
Yeah.
That one tastes, like, peppery.
I had a solid three and I was
tossing up between another two.
So, one, paprika.
Full disclosure - I heard other
teams say spice names out loud.
..um, cumin, black pepper.
Yes!
Yes! Thank you, thank you.
OK. Paprika, ginger, cumin,
turmeric and pepper.
Yes! Yes! Thank you!
"Detour. In a Line or Off the Line.
"In a Line...you must correctly
line up 5 dates in order
"of least expensive
to most expensive."
"Off the Line...
you must sort piles of laundry."
Laundry?
Yeah, laundry. Let's do laundry.
Which one do you think?
Off the Line. Let's go!
Now, right.
Yep, yep. Just here.
OK.
Thank you.
Let's go.
The setting was
absolutely incredible.
A beautiful, like, fort.
Old cobbled streets.
Oh, thank you!
I see a local kid watching on
saying hello.
It was really cool
to have that cultural experience.
Over here, I can see them.
Alright, choose a basket of laundry.
Basket of laundry.
OK.
So, each of the baskets had
50 items of clothing in them.
You fold and I'm gonna
put them in the piles.
OK.
The tags were in Arabic
and so we had to sort and fold
the piles of laundry.
I feel like this is definitely
a really good choice for us.
The Arabic language here
is very specific.
So we knew that was
gonna be difficult.
The tiniest dot to the left or right
makes it completely different.
Where are the dots placed?
Above or below the letters.
I think being a maths teacher
is definitely helping
because my job with maths,
I have to pay attention to detail
every single day.
Um, so...
..ginger, paprika.
Yes!
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Taxi!
Are we here?
Oh, no, did we go the wrong way?
Wrong way, OK.
Ohh.
It's alright.
It's laundry day, Mori.
Keep up a good pace, do it properly.
Let's do it properly.
So it just happens once.
Do it right the first time round.
Yeah.
..cumin, cardamon.
Oh, God!
I expected the race
to always be hard.
But it's so much harder.
Oh, far out.
..turmeric, cumin and pepper.
Yes!
Thank you so much!
"Sort piles of laundry."
I don't know how to do laundry.
This is not the fountain.
Alright, go, Mohamed.
What are you doing?
It's the traffic light.
Oh, rightio.
Yep. Ta. Thank you.
There's a flag down there.
Laundry.
Laundry!
Thank you, darling!
Laundry!
OK. Hey, girls!
- Hello!
- Hi, guys.
Hey, darling, how are you?
Good.
Mouth on fire. Whoo!
Let's get the tags.
Check the name.
You seen any diamond-diamond-diamonds
on the bottom?
No, that's not it either.
Oh, that's wrong.
That's...that's already wrong.
OK.
Hello. Basket?
Look for the flags!
It was go, run, rush.
Where's the dates?
You're just automatically thinking,
you need to be the first team
to get to the next challenge.
- Dates? Dates?
- Dates?
The dates? Date seller?
Date seller. Food.
Dates.
Dates!
Yeah.
Up there!
Here. Thank you.
Really cool.
OK. Here.
Hello.
OK.
Thank you. Go on, then.
Oh, here we go.
Like, are these different varieties
in here?
Like fine wine. You know?
Yeah. Yeah, right.
There must be a clue
where we can find out what the...
Here, hang on. Let's have a look.
Yeah. I'm just looking.
Oh, my gosh!
Read that.
Oh, my God! Here we go.
Oh, let's get them right.
Wrinkled, like old, a bit like you.
Yeah, yeah.
So the light is
the less expensive one.
OK.
Wrinkled is the most.
Large is the middle.
Put a big one in the middle, hon.
Yeah, that looks good, babe.
That looks good.
That looks awesome.
Please?
Oh, my gosh. OK.
So, light is cheapest.
Light is cheapest.
Yeah, it's cumin.
So I feel like that's right.
Let's try it again.
..ginger, paprika.
Yes! Thank you so much, mate.
Thank you. Thank you.
We're doing Off the Line.
Yep. Let's go.
..turmeric, cumin, pepper?
Yes!
Thanks so much! Thanks so much!
We're second-last.
Old Town, Ouarzazate.
Watch out for your head.
Alright, the marked path.
Where's the town fountain?
Hurry! Hurry!
Here.
Laundry! Laundry!
Oh, there, there, there.
Yep, that's it.
That's it, that's it.
Oh, my God, that way, that way!
OK.
Hello!
OK, pick a station.
That station looks free.
Yes, let's do it.
I'll just put them out here first.
Yep.
I think we'll definitely make up
some time here, which is great.
Hopefully we won't find
someone's G-string or something.
That'd be rather awkward,
wouldn't it?
We had a plan. Tammy
would fold and I would organise.
And that worked excellent,
that system, because it played
to each of our strengths.
Big picture, small detail.
Macro, micro.
Yin, yang.
Oh, just double-checking.
Yeah, OK, OK. Yep.
No, it's not chilli.
Paprika!
Oh, please be it,
please be it!
Thank you for being it.
Where's the Spice Girls
when you need them?
Paprika, ginger, turmeric,
cumin, black pepper.
Yes!
Thank you!
In a Line, I think. Let's go.
Yeah, OK.
We were in our own heads about it.
We've got to get better at that.
Thank you.
Alright, let's get in.
Oh, these are so cute!
As you go, double-check the names.
OK?
Yep!
So, dot, dot-dot-dot.
Never thought I'd travel halfway
across the world to do laundry.
But, uh, here we are!
Yeah.
Laundry! Laundry! Lady! Lady!
Laundry!
Pardon?
No?
Oh.
Which pile? This one?
Um, something is wrong in this pile,
so alright.
They're not right. OK.
Yep! Yep!
Good job, Gab. That was really good.
Yep.
Good teamwork. I think we got it.
Yeah.
Yes!
- Well done, ladies!
- Well done, girls!
You guys got this!
Take your time. Check your names.
Alright, Road Block.
Road Block.
A Road Block is a challenge
that only one team member must
complete based on a cryptic clue.
Ouarzazate is home to Atlas Studios,
one of the biggest film studios
in the world
which has shot massive
Hollywood films like 'Star Wars',
'Gladiator', 'The Jewel of the Nile'
and one of the biggest blockbusters
of all time,
'The Mummy'.
In this Road Block, one member from
each team will become a stuntman,
the most dangerous profession
in the film industry.
Firstly, they'll mummify themselves.
Then with a lit torch,
they'll run barefoot over hot coals.
Carry a spear as they attempt
to cross a narrow beam.
Then hand the spear to the mummy.
Looking good, mate.
Launch through three rings of fire
and perform a stunt roll
through the last one.
Oh! I'm on fire!
And the final stunt is to come
crashing through a brick wall.
Complete the stunt course
in 45 seconds
and they'll receive their next clue.
Who wants the starring role?
Well, it was a given - me.
Yeah, it was.
Atlas Studios.
Stressed that we're, like,
really, really far behind
and that people have probably
even moved on from this detour.
Yeah, I feel like
we're, like, half an hour
behind everyone.
Just always behind.
OK. What do we see? What do we see?
Laundry!
Up there?
Ooh! Let's go.
Please, lovely lady,
say yes.
Yes! Thank you, thank you!
Oh, my gosh. Come on.
Come on.
I'm excited.
Sugar. "Who wants
the starring role?"
"Who wants the starring role?" You.
You do. Yep.
I don't.
OK. Alright, I'm doing it.
- Yeah?
- Oh. Hoo-hoo!
OK, that was a bad one.
We thought it would be simple.
This looks wrinkly.
But we don't eat dates, we don't
purchase them in the groceries.
This is bad. This is bad. Can you
see? We're the only ones here.
No-one else came here.
Yeah.
So this is bad.
It was actually really hard.
Oh, far out!
What?!
Oh, babe, come on!
What are we gonna do?
There's the way there.
Right.
Laundry. Oh, that's the laundry!
The person who will get us lost
during the race will be me.
Alright, if we go to
the laundry, let's just try it.
So we decided to change our mind.
Is this one free?
Yeah, that's free.
The challenge was
folding the washing
and sorting it with
the Arabic names on it.
Mums, unfortunately, generally
do fold a lot more washing!
OK.
It was the learning the Arabic
that was the hard part.
Oh, no, that one's the wrong one.
Show me.
These are... Oh, no.
This one's in the wrong one.
Hello!
I've never felt so much stress
over clothing before.
Awesome! Thank you so much.
Yes! Thank you.
Mum, you did a good job.
You taught me how to talk...
Do laundry!
..fold my clothes.
Oh, God. I think it's a Road Block.
Road Block.
"Who wants the starring role?"
Acting and dancing.
You happy to do it?
Want me to do it?
Oh, don't stack it, Vincent!
My heart's pumping
out of my chest.
I know.
Sucks if anything's wrong
'cause you gotta refold it.
Yes!
Yes!
Good job.
Great job. Alright, can you rip one?
Can you rip one finally?
Oh!
Road Block.
"Who wants the starring role?" It'll
be acting or something like that.
Georgia can be a bit of
an actress and drama queen,
so this is right up her alley.
Yep. Keep going.
Let's just go.
Oh, my God!
Let's just try.
Yeah.
Ohhh.
We tried, what, 20 times
and still failed.
Oh!
Could have been 30.
Could have been 30.
Frick!
They're still going, G.
Oh, my God.
The laundry's pretty easy. If you
wanna switch, it's not that hard.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That was nice of that green team.
Shall we just switch?
If you want, we can give it a go.
Yep. Let's just switch. OK.
Thank you.
What if they tricked us?
Well, we weren't getting anywhere
with those dates.
So...
♪ We are in
first place... ♪
Oh, well, as far as we're aware.
Good start.
So we're off to Atlas Studios.
Where I'm gonna do
some special effects.
Beep! Beep!
Go! Go!
Alright, so there's still one, two,
three, four other teams here.
So we're not that far behind.
I think we've got this.
I really do.
Sorry.
It really made me cranky
that I stuffed around
with those dates for so long.
Where do we get our laundry from?
This one?
Yep.
No, no, next one.
Yeah, that basket there, yeah.
OK.
Look. Look, look.
Oh, my God.
You're going slow, buddy!
Thanks, Mohammed, you've got this.
That's...that's where.
That's here? Wow. OK.
Wow!
Thank you, taxi.
OK, let's go, let's go!
The film studios was just,
like, crazy. It was exciting.
Wow! Look at this.
Oh, my God. Thank you.
Thank you.
There were props everywhere
and cool stuff.
Yeah, this way, Flick.
OK. "Use the bandages provided
to cover your body."
I had to bandage Flick
from the toes up.
Then there was an obstacle course.
We're very lucky that
we have had cadet training.
We did first aid cadets.
Hey, guys,
we're trained first aiders.
Stay where you are
while we check for dangers.
Looking for dangers,
searching for dangers.
No dangers...
To be found.
Oh, what a crack-up.
Oh, wow, Tammy,
look at how great this is.
So approximately how many rolls...
Until you can't see it.
..to cover it?
Oh, my God,
Atlas Studios, here we go.
Mohammed, wait for us?
Any strategy?
Nah. Top-to-bottom wrapping.
Check, please!
Check, please.
I trust that we sorted it right.
It's just folding clothes.
It shouldn't be that scary.
Here we go.
OK.
Road Block.
Road Block.
"Who wants the starring role?"
Starring role?
Oh, the queen over here.
He's always performing
for our pet dog.
Let's go! Come on!
Hustle.
We fold differently.
Do we?
Grew up in the same household
and we fold differently.
I try to copy Mum,
but she says I'm not good at it.
Check, please!
Let's be hoping, hoping.
Oh!
Yes! Yes!
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We got it in our first go.
It really lifted our spirits.
Oh, my God. I'm so happy
that we caught up.
I can't believe it.
Alright. Road Block.
- Road Block.
- "Who wants the starring role?"
Come on, you can act.
Oh, alright, I'll do it.
Rachel as a little girl
loved to act.
Her and her sister, you know,
they'd always put on shows at home.
Yeah, they were fantastic girls.
Great, Rach,
we've made up some room.
Let's go, Mori. Hustle.
Let's go.
Where's our driver?
Where did he go?
He drove off.
Ohhh.
Yes!
Ready?
Go!
Oh.
"Who wants the starring role?"
It's me!
OK.
How cool are these little alleyways?
Oh, it's amazing.
We're in Morocco, you know.
Thank you!
Yes!
Thank you so much!
Road Block. So, one, two...
Rock always wins. Damn it!
I'm surprised we didn't discuss
what scissor, rock, paper means,
whether the winner or the loser
has to do it.
Surely the winner means
you don't have to do it.
Oh, yeah, well...
I thought that's how it works.
You just don't want to do it! Ha!
Jake and I have been together
for three years now.
It's been a pretty wild
relationship, to be honest.
Three months in,
I was actually involved in a
pretty serious motorcycle accident.
He broke his neck, his back,
punctured a lung, crushed his foot.
The next year, I actually got
diagnosed with cancer.
Thankfully, he's in remission.
Throughout it all, Holly
really stepped up as my carer.
Always had her by my side.
I believe in you so much.
Thanks, hon.
We've got this.
Let's go! There's the other
team. I've gotta mummify you.
Oh! Man, I hope I don't need
to go to the toilet.
I messed it up already.
I don't know.
This is a bit close for comfort.
Really? We're married, babe.
That is true.
Thread it under.
You're not usually shy.
OK, OK, come on.
I'm running through that
barefoot?
Have fun, Flick.
Fake hair was pinned back. The
lashes, I was a little bit nervous.
Go, you mummy!
Hooroo. Let's go!
Don't forget about
the time limit.
Here is your torch.
Keep it above your head.
Go, go, go!
Go, Flick! Go, mummy, go!
Go, mummy!
Alright, take your time.
Trust yourself, Flicka.
Go, go, go, go, go! Good job!
Go, Flicka!
Good.
Go!
Yes! Yes! Commando! Commando!
Break through!
Yes!
Oh, my lashes!
She just said she's worried
about her lashes.
Did we go? Thank you!
Alright. Route Info.
"Find the 16 majestic stone sphinxes
"and solve the riddle
to receive your next clue."
In this challenge,
teams must locate
the 16 sphinx statues
amongst Atlas Studios'
49-acre backlot.
Using the statues,
the teams must solve
the riddle of the sphinx.
"The King sits
to the right of his brother
"and across from his sister.
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
After locating the correct rock
at the King's feet,
the teams will receive
their next clue.
So we've got to find the sphinxes.
Did it say where they are?
Nah. It's somewhere in here.
Wheres's our taxi? He drove off.
They drove down...
They drove them back up this way.
Did you see other people
like us running?
Yeah or no?
No.
I don't know, Mori.
We knew that we had lost places.
Where is he?
That's not
how you fold a T-shirt.
You're just making it
a bit harder for me.
So we were the last two teams
at the laundry.
I don't understand!
We got through the laundry
very quickly.
Ready.
The girl searched it.
They look at your items.
Oh, OK.
I think it's 'cause of these two.
That's this one.
This matches, this matches.
Check, please.
Oh, thank God!
"Who wants the starring role?"
I think I can do it.
Alright.
There you are.
- "Make your way..."
- "By your taxi."
We don't...
Our taxi wasn't up there.
We were trying to find you!
We couldn't find you.
That's alright. We're still in it.
One little hiccup. That's OK.
Just not sure
how thorough they want us to be.
To be.
You used to change my nappies,
so this is not that awkward.
- Merci.
- Merci.
My shoulder's not covered.
No, no.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Are you trying to choke me?
Oh, that one was slipping.
No, no, no, it's too tight.
Let's go!
Let's go!
We all got the same amount
of bandages,
but I had to cover my 6'4" man.
Diaper time!
Can you not zoom in so much
to my manhood, sir?
This is awesome!
Never thought I'd be bandaging
your body.
Oh, I'd hoped you'd never be needing
to bandage me, but, you know.
Oh, there's just a little bit here.
Yeah.
Let's wrap it like that.
Being too thorough, we realised
there was other teams
that had caught up behind us.
Come on, G.
So I have to walk across that?
Yeah.
Is it gonna hurt my feet?
Yeah.
What the...?
I can't even believe
this is happening.
If you told me a week ago, Georgia'd
be a stuntwoman in Morocco,
I would've told you you're dreaming.
On three.
OK.
Three, two, one. Go!
Oh, my God.
Good job!
Good, good, good, good, good!
Go, G!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Nice!
Surely this just, like,
certifies cool teacher status.
Don't ever come at me with, like,
lame teacher again, because I'm not.
You were a bad-ass.
Certified bad-ass.
Yeah. Certified bad-ass.
Thank you so much!
Thank you.
I think I broke my arm,
but it's worth it.
OK. Route Info. "Find the 16
majestic stone sphinxes..."
OK, let's go.
Awesome.
Ah, which way?
Nah, see? This is wrong.
Look. Skinny 'I' here.
Thick 'I' there.
I was getting so mad!
I hadn't even said one word.
She was gonna blow.
What pile did you get this from?
Because this is this pile.
- It was in here.
- Oh, great!
Check, please.
Yes!
Ha ha!
Thank you! Thank you!
My fingers are sticky
from those dates.
Road Block.
"Who wants the starring role?"
Oooh.
I'll do it?
Let's go.
Can you please stay?
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Wrap me up.
So now your neck, Rach...
Yeah. Not too tight.
'Cause I can't breathe.
I was so nervous
even before we'd gotten around
to see the challenge.
Dad, it's really tight
around my neck!
Oh, Rach!
It's really tight around my neck!
I can't breathe!
Oh!
Go, Tammy!
Keep the torch above your head.
Time limit, don't forget about it.
Go!
She just ran over hot burning coal!
Oh!
What went wrong?
Oh, ran out of time.
Ohh! I took too long
on the balance beam.
Yes, Cynthia!
Through the wall!
Whoo!
Yes! Yes!
Come on, let's go, let's go.
There's only two sphinx.
So this might not be it.
The next clue we had to find...
where the sphinxes were
and solve the riddle.
Yes, see, what does that say?
Sphinx. That way.
Wow! This is cool.
So there's the temple steps,
I'm assuming.
At the top of them is the riddle.
"Each sphinx has a basket of rocks
at its feet.
"When you think you have the answer
to the riddle,
"collect a rock from the sphinx
you believe to be correct."
Yeah, alright, let's go.
Hello!
Hello!
"The King sits
to the right of his brother
"and across from his sister."
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
How do you know which the King is?
Damn you. You were well and truly
behind me and you just absolutely...
Smashed it.
Got in front. Well done.
That's my husband.
He does the wrapping.
He does the Christmas wrapping.
I'm the present.
Oh, my God.
You'll be right, Rach.
I'm just really stressed about this.
When I saw the challenge,
I was very overwhelmed and anxious.
Good luck, Rach.
Thank you.
You'll be fine.
Yeah.
Who chooses to, like,
run through fire hoops?
Or run through hot coals?
Not me!
This looks really difficult.
It's gonna push Rachel.
I hope she can do it.
And...go!
Come on, Rach!
Oh!
All my bandages came off and the
local said that it wasn't safe.
I can't do this like this, Dad!
We're gonna have to start again!
I cannot run like this.
Look at this.
I've got really bad anxiety about
this, Dad. I don't wanna do this!
What do you wanna do?
I don't know!
I feel like I'm just
suffocating in here.
Get it off!
No...
Get it off me.
Get it off!
I am, honey, it's alright.
It's alright, Rachel.
Oh, my God! Get it off me!
Rachel, come here.
What was going through my mind
was just like...
"I...I can't do this.
I can't do this.
"Like, I'm gonna suffocate and die."
Here you are.
I know it sounds irrational,
but at that time it's not irrational
to Rachel, that's how she feels.
It's alright.
What happens if we forfeit?
I have no idea.
Ohhh.
No, let's not look at her. Let's
give her some privacy. Poor thing.
Pressure's a lot, isn't it? It is.
This is your moment!
The Rubik's cube,
they had to redo it.
So we actually jumped 2 or 3 spots.
Jumped up 2 or 3 spots.
Which is exactly what we needed...
Yeah.
..after the taxi debacle.
It's 'Flashdance'.
OK, one, two, three!
You got this! You got this!
Whoo!
Yes! That's it!
Through, through, through, through!
He slammed that!
Maybe I can be a stunt double.
Maybe.
'Cause I killed that challenge.
"Find the 16 majestic
stone sphinxes..."
Alright, let's go.
You wait for us again?
Thank you so much.
I'll do your legs.
You start doing your arms.
Let's go!
I was a bit worried because
this is a physical challenge.
Yeah, yeah.
I was all kinds of nervous.
Hold this, hon, here, for me.
I gotta...
Just hold this first!
Let's go!
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Oh!
No?
Why?
I just got called for a fault on it.
All of his wrapping's falling off.
We're gonna have to fix that up.
My bandages kinda all came off. I had
to go back to the back of the line.
We really lost all of the ground
that we made up.
I was pretty shattered at that point.
OK, so this...
I don't know how this has happened.
"The temple steps..."
"Find your riddle
on the top of the temple steps."
Up here.
That's sphinxes, aren't they?
Move on, move on.
I don't know.
Can you see sphinxes there?
The cats! The cats! That's them!
"..at the giant sphinxes..."
Well, they're not giant.
Top of the temple steps. This is the
temple. Ask someone who works here.
Temple?
"The King sits to the right
of his brother
"and across from his sister."
Could she be a chick?
That one looks really chicky.
How do you know?
This challenge was awful.
This challenge was so hard.
Can you see if they have,
like, genitals?
Genitals?
I'm gonna go
with alligators are boys.
Yeah.
He looks like the King.
The King sits right to his brother.
Across is the sister.
Yeah.
What's the next thing?
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
So it's this one.
OK. Let's go try it. YOLO.
I'm pretty confident.
No.
Oh, no!
Alright.
Riddles are hard.
Riddles are hard.
Riddles are hard!
Who's coming?
The green.
The girls are still there.
Second place, baby!
Flick and Gabby had had a massive
jump on us from the Road Block.
So when we saw them, I was shocked.
There!
OK.
"The King sits to the right
of his brother
"and across from his sister.
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
You're a history teacher.
Do you know what a King looks like
in Egypt?
Um...
Come down here to have a look.
I can't do it.
OK.
That's it, then.
We'll get a time penalty.
Yeah.
I just didn't want
to disappoint Dad.
Ohh!
No. Never.
Never!
Nah.
She just doesn't want to do it.
100% confirmed?
Yep. It's not gonna happen.
After electing to pull out
of the Road Block,
our dad and daughter duo
from Phillip Island, Victoria
must now serve a 30-minute penalty.
I'm proud of you, anyway.
Ohhh!
The first attempt
just took too long.
So we had to give it another shot.
Run, Forrest, run!
Go!
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
She's doing really fast now.
Leap like you've never leapt before!
I totally just had "Hulk smash"
in my head.
No hesitation.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Congratulations.
Thank you!
- One, two, three!
- Go, Claire!
Through the burning rings of fire!
Yes!
- "The top of the temple step."
- Come on, Fliss!
Focus, mate. You got it.
Well done, Fliss.
Oh, yes, you did it!
I've no idea what is going on.
Giant sphinx over there maybe?
Oh, yes! The King sits
to the right of his brother."
Oh! There's sphinxes
over there.
Oh, no, another team.
Go on.
To see what I was seeing,
I was about to burst into tears.
Oh, my God, like my fears.
The fire.
I was really starting to panic.
All I thought of was our children.
Like, you just picture them.
I said to myself, "My kids are at
the other end. I'm saving them."
I would never not...
I would die for my children.
So, running through fire,
running through the hoops
and walking the plank,
like, to me, that was a no-brainer.
I wouldn't even think twice about it
so I just wanted to get it done.
Three, two, one. Go!
Come on, baby!
Yoo!
I thought the bricks were real.
Thank you!
Solid!
Oh, man, I'm so proud of you,
my girl.
Honestly, I nearly started crying,
baby.
So the King sits
to the right of his brother.
Oh, no, the Rubik's cubes are coming.
Oh, no, another team.
We kept looking over the horizon,
thinking, "Who's next?"
Steps! Oh, my gosh.
Yes. Come on!
Let's go this way. Come on, Claire!
Where's the temple steps?
Ah, thank you.
Pako, I think it's this one.
We literally just said that.
We just went into competition mode
and it was on.
How does that look?
No.
Ohhh!
We're in the middle,
but this could be the last leg.
Mori, you gotta come here.
If you crack this,
you could be coming first
for the first Pit Stop.
It's gonna be a good one.
Don't get left behind.
This one could be a King
potentially?
Yep.
OK.
We had to read the riddle, find out
which sphinx we needed to go to
and take that rock,
which we presented to a judge
and he would say
if we were correct or incorrect.
No.
OK.
We both couldn't figure it out.
Look at the drawings on their chest.
That's looking into it too much.
God, this is hard, eh?
Guys, I think work together,
keep it between us.
Yeah, yeah.
We migrated to Flick and Gabby.
We need to do this together.
So which rock should we pull first?
We'll go to this chick.
From the get-go, we had
a massive jump on other teams
because we opened
those social networks.
Guys, happy to work together
if you want to try.
We'll do it. We'll do it together.
We were all struggling so much
in that challenge,
so let's just get through this
all together so we can get out.
Then we can race.
OK, let's go.
"The King sits to the right of his
brother and across from his sister."
Alright.
Let's go find these sphinxes.
Yeah.
After serving
their 30-minute time penalty,
Paul and Rachel are now on their way
to the next challenge.
The next challenge was, you know,
where we had to use our brains,
which is what we're here for.
So, they said
the giant steps, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Deep breaths.
Everyone got through them.
It's OK.
Now we're last.
We were both really frustrated.
We'd gone from
making up so much time
to losing it all up again
and just trying to
not lose our cool too much.
I'll be back to being fun
and light-hearted
once we get through this challenge.
This one's really rocking me a bit.
Go!
I'm not even joking, I can't look.
I'm just too stressed out.
Smash through! Smash through!
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
Go, go, go, go!
Oh, you bloody legend!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Argh! Let's go!
Come on!
We gotta work out a riddle.
"The King sits to the right of his
brother and across from his sister."
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
When we got to riddles
and seeing everybody still there...
Yeah.
..I thought, "Oh, this isn't good.
"They must be struggling."
"The King sits to the right
of his brother..."
I'm thinking the King is the lion.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But he's next to his brother,
so they're the same.
Has to be the same.
Yes! That makes sense.
We just sort of...
Collab'd.
..collab'd.
This is the King because
the right of his brother is...
That's the brother.
So he's the King.
- OK!
- Let's go, G.
Yes.
- Yes! Thank you.
- Yes! Thank you.
I need you to rip.
I am.
"Make your way
to the UNESCO World Heritage site
"of Ksar Ait Ben Haddou and search
for Beau at your first Pit Stop."
Ksar Ait Ben Haddou
is a fortified village
which dates back to the 11th century.
This fort held strategic importance
on Trans-Saharan trade routes,
linking the city of Ouarzazate
to Marrakech
through the High Atlas Mountains.
This UNESCO World Heritage site
most recently was the set
for 'Game of Thrones'
and it's the most epic location
for the Pit Stop of the first leg
of The Amazing Race Australia!
"Hurry, the last team to check in
will be eliminated."
OK, let's go.
Yes!
Let's go.
Yes.
Yes!
We're finally
getting to the Pit Stop.
Come on, Flick!
"Hurry, the last team to
check in will be eliminated."
Oh, my God!
For across from his sister...
No, that's left, this is right.
We joined up with a team.
I think it's Fliss and...
Just the country bumpkins.
Let's call them the country bumpkins.
They were cool, though.
I feel like I should order
the pizza.
I'm just the pizza guy, OK?
Are they sphinxes?
Getting to the next challenge
was exciting because
there was other teams there.
- Hi! Well done!
- Well done, guys.
And it gave us a bit of hope and,
like, "Ah! We're still in the race!"
"The King sits to the right
of his brother..."
Two that look similar, I wanna say?
Do they all look different?
They all look different.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Go, quick!
Gabby, Flick, Tiffany,
Cynthia and the pink team
were hot on our heels.
Let's go!
So we knew it was a four-team race.
Yes. Go, go, go. Thank you.
Go, go, go, go!
Please, please.
Argh!
Oh, no.
Damn, they popped in just before us.
It's alright.
We can beat them on the leg.
First team to drive out.
Yeah, good.
The taste of first at the start
of the leg really got us...
Geed up.
Yep.
If we get in front of them...
Whoo! We have to beat them.
We had a real sniff of coming first,
so we were excited at that prospect.
Yes! Yes!
No!
Don't let them!
No! No! No! No! Go! Go!
No! No! No! No!
Have to win! Have to win!
Or we go home.
"Make your way on foot
to the Pit Stop.
"Take the marked crossing
across the river."
I'm proud of us.
I know.
I'm so happy. I'm proud of us.
This is massive for us.
We literally...
We didn't think we'd even be close,
so it'll be a huge start for us.
Yeah.
It's actually so beautiful, eh?
Yeah, so pretty.
- We worked so hard to be here.
- Yeah.
We want to experience
everything this race has to offer.
We're here and we might
possibly take home the prize.
Get there and sprint and then
we can rest when we're dead.
- Can we try and take over?
- Yes, thank you.
Go, Mohammed.
Go, Mohammed, you got this.
- So they are same?
- Yeah.
Correct.
So that's the King.
Yeah. So let's try this one.
Thank you very much.
"Hurry, last team to check in
will be eliminated."
Thank you!
"Hurry, last team to check in
will be eliminated."
Let's go!
Come on, Claire.
Go, go, go! Yes!
- Yeah, there's a flag there.
- OK, flag there?
You certain?
Yeah. Yeah.
G, we gotta go.
Once at the car park,
we were in a panic
because we knew there was
three teams just behind us.
Come on, Flicka!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Let's go, Mori.
Got everything, G? Let's go.
Where's the flags?
Here!
I saw a flag, but I saw all the
other teams running a different way.
This way, this way.
I was, like,
"OK, let's just go for it."
Are you OK?
Yep.
Let's go!
The newlyweds took
a different route.
Keep going, I reckon.
But we could see the girls in front
of us and we just started sprinting.
Go, Mori! Push!
Here!
We were running, running, dying.
Running and dying.
Yeah.
Yes!
Fitness is the killer!
At this point, I'm just
guessing. No bloody method.
No. All the thumbs down
was just...another stab.
Time was just disappearing.
Try orange. Try orange!
Yes.
Yes! Far out!
Yes.
Oh, thank God!
Yeah, let's just go through here.
I don't have any idea.
OK.
I feel like it would be a red one.
Really frustrated at that point.
We'd gone from making up
so much time to second-last again.
But we're not here to give up.
King sits to the right.
To the right.
That's why I'm confident.
And then across from his sister.
That one's definite.
Yes.
Thank you.
"Hurry.
"Last team to check in
will be eliminated."
Let's go, babe. Come on!
How do you know he's the King?
We don't.
But he's the only one that's right
and across from his sister.
Oh, OK.
Any luck?
Yes.
Ohhh, Rachel!
"Hurry, the last team
will be eliminated."
Oh, does that say "will"?
Yeah.
Let's go.
There's a mark there.
Straight ahead.
Vincent and Tammy
were in front of us.
Nothing? Do you think
it's the other way, though?
It was marked there, though.
There was a mark in there,
wasn't there?
He's telling that way. Let's go.
Come on, guys. Sorry.
We think it's the other way.
We think it's this way.
The river.
Keep going, I reckon.
We had no idea where we were.
We couldn't see the Pit Stop.
Come on!
This could cost us first place.
Where's the river?
Mori, come! Push!
We could see
the first Pit Stop,
which is so incredible.
But...
I can see the Pit Stop!
Where?
Just ahead of us.
When we got down to the river,
we saw the newlyweds just there.
Push!
Yes! Come on, G!
It's a foot race. Here we go.
Go, Mori!
Oh, quick, quick! Run! Just go
in the water! Go in the water!
Alright.
Mori, come!
Come on, come on, come on! Run!
Hi, Beau! Ahh!
Kelly and Georgia, you are...
..the first team to check in!
Oh, I'm so proud of you.
Oh!
Mmm! So proud of you. Great job.
Oh, my God.
We came first!
Yay!
Yay!
Now, guys, as the first team to check
in, you have won a luxury escape
to the Mornington Peninsula
in Victoria.
Ooh! Nice!
Oh, my God!
You'll be staying
at the award-winning Jackalope Hotel
and winery, thanks to Visit Victoria.
I've been there before.
It's beautiful.
Oh, my God, that's unreal!
We're gonna need it!
Yeah, I need it after this.
Oh!
Pako and Mori, you are
the second team to check in!
Oh, my God, it feels amazing! Yeah.
Well done, boys.
We almost had 'em at the end.
Come on, Flicka!
Flick and Gabby, you are
the third team to check in!
Yes!
I feel a lot more confident
going into this next leg.
So, bring it on.
Go and get some rest.
You're gonna need it.
Tiffany and Cynthia,
you are the fourth team to check in.
Yes!
Well done, girls.
Thank you. Thank you.
Come on!
Please!
- Wait up.
- Middle.
We'll make it. We should.
Can you take us there very fast?
I won't relax until
I'm standing in front of Beau.
This is it, honey.
We really gotta push this.
Yeah, yeah.
'Cause those guys at the back,
Rachel and the dad...
You never know.
..they're pretty clever.
We really, really
don't want to be eliminated.
No.
"Advise your taxi to park
"at the marked parking area
"next to the complex..."
"And make your way on foot
to the Pit Stop.
"Take the marked crossing."
So it's very important that
we do not, like, miss the turn.
I don't know
how far back they are.
Well, if it's a leg race
between Jamus and Chelsea and us,
like, they're actually pretty quick.
I think here come
Chelsea and Jamus, is it?
Yep. They're right up at us!
Let's go!
Quick! Quick! Quick!
Fast! Fast! Fast!
No! Oh, my God, faster, faster!
Faster!
Past the bridge.
Come on, Claire!
Tammy and Vincent,
you're the fifth team to check in!
Yeah!
I'm gonna take that. Yeah.
Go and rest. I'll see you soon.
OK. Thanks.
Thank you.
Good job!
We're coming!
Ah!
We're here!
Jodie and Claire...
Yes, Beau!
..you are the sixth team to check in.
Really happy with that.
For the old ladies, it's
a good old lady place to finish.
Oh, my God!
- Hey! Door!
- Sorry!
Come here, Dad.
Go, go, go, go!
Come on!
Which way do we go?
I was panicking.
We have to push ourselves
to that finish line
because the last one
to the Pit Stop will be eliminated.
When you start getting
to that lower half of the teams
and you kinda know
that you're in danger,
you just gotta tunnel-vision it.
Where is the river?
How you going? Is the river this way?
Is that the direction to the river?
River down there?
Where was the yellow flag?
Straight that way.
So desperate to get to Beau.
We've come so far and we really,
really don't want to be eliminated.
Oh, we've gotta cross the river.
So it's gotta be down, anyway.
Which way do you think,
girls?
There was a bit of a race
between Chelsea and Jamus and us.
- Where's the marked path?
- Must be down here.
When it comes to the end,
if you're one of the last teams,
I'd just sprint for it.
- Hoo-hoo!
- Hoo-hoo-hoo!
Come on, baby!
Keep going.
Wow. I love that.
Holly straight across.
Jake doesn't want
to get his feet wet.
Yeah. Yeah!
Beau!
Jake and Holly, you are
the seventh team to check in.
Awesome, man!
That's good.
You're still alive. Bring it in!
Yeah. Still alive.
Go rest, recover.
Come on, Fliss!
Fliss and Tot...
Beau.
..you are the eighth team
to check in.
Oh! Good job, mate.
You're still in, girls.
Come on, baby!
Are they all the way up there?
Yeah.
Down here, Rachel.
Chelsea and Jamus...
..you are...
..the ninth team to check in.
Good job, baby!
You're still in by that much.
I know!
Go recover and enjoy Morocco.
Yeah! Thanks, Beau.
Thank you!
Salam.
Salam.
Hi, Beau.
Hi, Beau.
Paul and Rachel,
you are the last team to check in.
Unfortunately, guys,
your time on the race is over.
Oh.
Disappointed.
Disappointed,
but we gave it a crack.
Sorry, I know we're a long way from
home, but that's how this show goes.
Yeah. That is.
All good.
Proud of you guys for having a crack.
I wouldn't do it with anyone else,
but only you.
Mum's gonna kill me for saying that.
Bring it in, guys.
Look after each other,
and I hope you're OK, darling.
Thank you.
We've run the race
true to ourselves.
We did say slow and steady
wins the race.
We did. Yeah.
We were definitely slow.
10 amazing teams of Aussies
have just pushed themselves
to the limit...
Oh, my lashes!
..in a race across Morocco.
First team to check in!
But they have got no idea
what's coming.
Tomorrow night...
Three,
two,
one.
Go!
10 new teams...
Let's go!
Hey, hey!
A team just jumped in our cab.
..will travel from Sydney
to Marrakech.
It's the biggest season...
..of The Amazing Race...
Oh, my God. Yuck!
Smells like your farts.
..ever.
Who would have thought
a lemon could be so dangerous?
I can't do it.
Captions by Red Bee Media
our world went into lockdown.
Planes were grounded,
tourist destinations deserted.
And city streets lay empty.
But not anymore.
Right now I'm in Melbourne.
I'm on my way to the start line
of the greatest race on Earth.
Now that international travel
is back, we're going global.
It's time to get a few stamps
on the old passport, eh?
Our teams are about to embark
on the adventure of a lifetime.
I just want to get on a plane
and go somewhere!
- From the exotic...
- That looks amazing!
..to the unimaginable.
Argh! This shark's,
like, right under me.
It's the biggest race
the world has ever seen.
Oh, my gosh!
I've never touched snow before.
And teams will challenge
themselves...
Oh!
This is a bit close for comfort.
We're married, babe.
That is true.
..physically...
Sorry!
..and mentally...
This is not what defines you.
I just wanna do it!
..like never, ever before.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
This is the Amazing Race Australia!
Our adventure begins in Melbourne,
at Flemington Racecourse,
the home of the race
that stops the nation...
Back and racing!
..the Melbourne Cup.
It's a fantastic go.
A dead heat!
..and our 10 teams are now making
their way to the starting gate.
- Welcome to Melbourne!
- Whoo!
We are at the start line
of what is going to be the most epic
adventure of your lifetime.
Because of COVID,
we've just been so restricted
to what we can and can't do.
I feel like our youth's almost
just getting taken away from us.
We're going on a crazy little ride
we like to call
The Amazing Race Australia.
Only one pair will be
crowned champions...
..and take home the biggest prize
in Amazing Race Australia history.
Yeah!
A staggering 250 grand cash.
Phew!
And two brand-new Isuzus.
One of you will drive away
in the Isuzu D-MAX,
while the other will win
the Isuzu MU-X.
It's on!
Oh, MU-X.
I'll have the MU-X.
Pako and Mori,
you haven't stopped smiling.
Oh, yeah, we're always smiling.
We're just the class clowns.
It wouldn't be a show
without newlyweds.
Would you say
this is your honeymoon, guys?
I guess so. We haven't had one yet.
We haven't had one.
That's gotta make you pretty hungry
for the win.
Awww!
Flick and Gabby,
you've sized up your competition.
Now, who do you think's
the biggest threat?
The biggest threat's probably
ourselves, to be honest.
We've got a cafe together.
Gab's super competitive
and super fit,
and I'm a bossy boots.
Yeah.
So...
Alright, that's enough talk.
Let's get down to business.
- Who's ready?
- Yes!
- Are you ready?
- Yes!
You'll find your first clue
on top of your backpacks
outside the racecourse.
As I always say, race hard,
but above all, race safe.
Let's get it on. Good luck.
Three,
two, one!
Go!
Go! Go! Go! Come on.
Yep. Come on.
Come on. Come on!
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
Where's the arrows?
I want to have that moment
where I'm just standing in a country
and I grab my husband -
"Babe, look where we are."
Come on, come on, come on.
This way.
We've got this.
Come on.
Good jog.
I can't believe we're gonna
get to see the whole world.
You just shot off
and left me behind.
Oh, yeah.
Stay with it, baby.
As soon as we started dating,
we wanted to go overseas together.
There's the bags over there.
Let's go.
OK.
Come on!
Grab the bag. Here.
Come on.
Argh!
Great start.
Route Info.
"Fly to Ouarzazate in Morocco."
In Africa! Oh, my God!
Wow.
"The gateway to the Sahara Desert."
What is that thing? Morocco!
Whoa!
The kingdom of Morocco
in the north-west corner of Africa
is a vibrant nation of spice, colour
and age-old craftsmanship.
Combining influences
of the Sub-Saharan Africa,
Middle East and Europe,
it maintains its ancient traditions
of its original residents,
the Berber people.
And it is the epic location
of the first leg
of The Amazing Race Australia.
Alright. Where are they?
The taxi's right there.
Get the front one!
Get to a taxi.
Kelly, this one!
Melbourne Tullamarine Airport.
Hello!
First through the gate.
Yeah!
I definitely
should have trained harder.
Dad's very fit.
I'm a bit more flexible.
Yeah.
Not that I'm saying
she's not flexible.
I'm not really that flexible.
Alright, I can see the bags.
Let's hop in.
I've never been to Morocco.
Oh, my God!
Yay!
Now we're in a race on the way.
Stop! Boot's open.
Let's go!
Oh!
Morocco!
Oh, my God.
Tifoultoute. Let's go.
In we go!
Can you take us to
Melbourne Airport?
Oh, what about that run, eh?
That was next level.
That newlywed couple were together.
He was running with his wife.
Being, "Come on, honey!"
And where were you? At the end.
Just trying to get the clue for us.
I'm a senior property manager,
so I look after the rent roll.
And I'm Chelsea's
property manager's assistant.
Yes.
Endurance, baby. All day. Let's go.
Oh, here we go.
We have been engaged
for six years now.
Is that another one, over there?
At the end of this, we're either
gonna agree to organising a wedding
or we're not.
So we've had that discussion.
I don't know if people saw us
as, like, the Asian Wiggles
or something like that.
Yeah!
Feels like this reminds me
of, like, a Jetstar or...
Rubik's cube.
As nerdy, you know, Asian siblings,
we used to share a bedroom
when we were kids.
I just remember going to sleep
and singing, like, 'Pokemon'.
I mean...
How did I know
you were gonna mention that?
I've been to Bali
and New Zealand and that's it.
And now I'm going to Morocco?!
For the past month, I've been
working on getting my beauty routine
as small and condensed as possible.
Ouarzazan...Ouarzazate.
I've condensed my beauty routine...
Yeah, yeah.
..right down as well.
International, mate.
Get ready to go.
Stop, stop.
Quick!
Oh, that's the yellow team.
Hey, it's happening.
This way, hon.
Oh, no, go the other way.
Let's go!
Whoo!
Walk up this way.
Hold up.
Let's go, Morocco!
Whoo!
All teams are now on a journey
from Melbourne
to Ouarzazate, Morocco.
The capital
of the Ouarzazate province,
this city is located
on a bare plateau
south of the High Atlas Mountains
at an elevation of 1,160 metres.
Right in front!
Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
- Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!
- This one.
This one?
Yeah, it's good.
- Where's the driver?
- Taxi, Jodie!
Ouarzazate. Amazing!
This is us.
Like, it's pinch-yourself moment.
Taxi!
Taxi!
Do you know how to get
to Kasbah Tifoultoute?
Can we please go there?
Yeah, that was good.
Teams are now racing
to Kasbah Tifoultoute.
Formerly owned by
the Pasha of Marrakech,
this fortress was built
in the 17th century,
but now it's a restaurant.
And out the front is their next clue.
Thank you, driver.
Very beautiful place.
Wait, I have a word for that.
Yeah, you do have a word.
Let me look at my, uh...
my little glossary.
We're both bossy.
Yeah!
We're both teachers. You can't have
two teachers in a classroom.
A teacher has only one classroom
and there's two of us.
So...I don't know.
Yeah.
One's gonna be the student at times
and one's gonna be the teacher.
Yeah.
Incredible. Like...
Incredible. It's crazy we're here.
Growing up in a country town,
we're so used to
the small town country life.
There's just massive mountains
over there.
It's so eye-opening. Like, I never
thought how different it is.
It's started! It's started!
We're in Morocco!
We've been together for 10 years.
Also married!
Ooh! Gotta shake all those nerves!
Initially when I first saw Morocco,
I had a bit of a fear
because it's illegal to be LGBTQI.
It's nerve-racking,
but it's exciting.
It was an added stress.
Yeah.
But we're resilient.
We're into it, we're into it.
Oh, my God! Look at the hills! They
look like the ones in the Pilbara.
They look like home.
Like, the mountains at home.
We're both from Aboriginal families.
Where we live, almost everyone
you see is, like, family, like...
Yeah.
As auntie and niece,
we're pretty close.
Kind of feel close in age
even though there's a 15-year gap.
What's your name, sir?
Mohammed.
Nice to meet you, Mohamed.
Awesome driver.
You got this?
Know where you're going?
Yeah, yeah.
The driver's got no idea.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, Kasbah Tifoultout here!
Wow!
Oh, my God.
We're here.
Looks like a big castle.
This is amazing.
Can you wait here for us?
You wait here? OK.
Kelly!
Yeah?
Where?
Come. Over here. I can see it.
- Where's the next clue?
- Where's the clue?
Where's the clue?
Right here.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Get it. Right.
OK. Route Info.
"Correctly identify 5 spices by
taste to receive your next clue."
Now, Moroccan cuisine
is a unique blend of spices
used in most traditional dishes.
In this challenge,
team members must take a spoonful
of the five spices in front of them -
pepper, cumin, turmeric,
ginger and paprika.
When they correctly identify
all five,
my mate Jawad will give them
their next clue.
Now, Jawad, which one should I try?
Paprika.
I was thinking turmeric.
Oh, that tastes good.
Yeah, OK, where's...
where's the restaurant?
Let's go here. OK, come here.
We cook very basic at home.
I'd say our palate
is very, very simple.
"One of you needs to taste
the spices."
Are you good with spices?
Oh, my God.
Spices definitely aren't our forte.
"Only one of you needs
to taste the spices."
OK.
OK.
"You must put a large spoonful
of each spice in your mouth."
You gotta taste it.
Yeah, I'm going to.
"Spit it out in buckets provided."
OK.
Literally we have one spice
in our cupboard.
What is it?
Don't know.
Mmm!
Here's water if you need it.
- Do you know what that one is?
- I don't know.
How're we meant to know what they
are if we've never eaten spices?
- Oh. No. Let's go.
- Hoo!
Do you want to do the spices?
I love to cook and
I use spices often in the kitchen.
Alright.
I think I already know what that is.
Cumin?
Yeah... No!
Ground coriander.
Ohh.
"Once you've correctly
identified the spices,
"you will receive your next clue."
Let's go!
I'm doing this, OK?
It's nerve-racking 'cause...
It's nerve-racking!
..normally there's a label
on the spice...
Yeah! Yeah!
..that we buy.
Heaped!
Trust yourself, Flicka.
You're really good at this stuff.
You know your spices.
I don't know what this one is.
Go!
Route Info.
"Correctly identify five spices
by taste..."
"..to receive your next clue."
Yeah. OK.
It was pretty cool
running into this big open space
and beautiful Arabic architecture.
It looked like, literally,
a scene off 'Aladdin'.
Whoo! Just need a bit of chicken
with all this.
Tammy was
actually swallowing
the full tablespoons of spice.
I thought you had to!
So I may eat it as well!
What a time to be alive.
Indeed.
Ooh! There's a...
Ooh! I think I know what that is.
Oh, up here.
Oh, gosh!
No swearing.
Here's the tables.
Tot, you've got it.
"Correctly identify five spices
by taste to receive your next clue."
OK.
Over here, Pako?
Yeah, this way.
You good?
Where's the spoons?
- OK, here we go.
- Good luck, Dad.
That's heaped.
Ohh!
What do you reckon it is?
Oh. Powder. I don't know.
Question mark.
Have a guess
if you need to.
Oh, no! What do we put on curry?
Tell me...
It's alright.
Take your time. Settle.
We have no idea.
We couldn't even name five spices.
You want to help each other out?
Yeah. What are you stuck on?
We had to work with other teams.
So we know for sure
turmeric is the middle one.
Yeah.
Ginger is that one.
Do you think it is?
Oh, OK. So, ginger...
So we think that is cumin.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
How do you spell that?
C-U... I-N.
Cumin.
Cumin.
Seem to be colluding.
Who?
The green and the...
Don't worry about it.
Cumin. Yep.
Hello!
Alright, pepper, cumin...
Say it quiet.
Shh!
..turmeric,
ginger, paprika.
Yay!
Whoo! You got it. You got it.
Thank you, thank you. Correct.
..cumin, pepper.
Yes!
Thank you. Let's go.
Thank you so much!
Let's go.
Oh!
We've got to be the worst rippers
in history.
Detour.
A detour is a choice
between two challenges,
each with its own pros and cons.
In this detour, teams must travel
to the Ouarzazate old town
and choose either In a Line
or Off the Line.
Household chores are the same
all over the world
and laundry's always top of the list.
But in Morocco,
laundry's a communal task.
Teams that choose this detour
must come down to the fountain
where all the locals' laundry
has been mixed up.
Using the local family's name tags
attached to the clothes,
teams must identify
five different name tags
and sort the laundry
by those name tags,
then fold the clothes
into five matching piles.
Once they've folded
five piles correctly,
the local ladies
will give them the next clue.
I think this is one of Jonathan
LaPaglia's 'Survivor' shirts.
If they choose In a Line,
the team must identify
five varieties of dates,
and using this board as a guide,
order them from cheapest
to most expensive.
And once they get the order right...
..they'll receive their next clue.
Off the Line. Yep.
Let's go!
We've got this.
That one was so hard!
My mouth is still on fire.
Right. We're gonna do Off the Line.
Thank you.
Do I still have it on my face?
A little bit in your teeth.
That's alright.
Eww!
Quick!
Come on, come on, come on!
..white pepper, sweet paprika.
Yes!
It was pretty stressful
hearing in the background
when teams got it right.
Good work, babe. Oh, my gosh!
It can feel like
a little bit deflating.
If they know it, then we know it.
We're doing the dates.
Cool. Oh, yeah.
You cool with that?
Yeah.
Sweet. Let's go.
Come on. Where's our taxi?
Taxi!
Taxi!
I still have pepper
in my mouth.
I know. Spicy spice.
Nothing a little laundry won't help.
We are sisters by birth
and best friends by choice.
She's by the books, structured.
And I'm like,
"Yeah, don't worry about it."
Thank you!
That way! Let's go!
Mmm. Gabby.
Keep going, Flick.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh, thank you!
Yes!
Laundry!
Hello!
Yep, let's go.
Start folding, Flick.
Let's get ahead.
And that's how it should look.
We used to fold people's laundries
on Airtasker.
They're not in English.
Alright.
Let's put them in order.
Yeah. Let's start.
OK.
Yeah.
So just try to see
if it looks the same.
Once we started seeing
that the names were so similar,
we actually kind of said, "Let's
look at it as a picture instead."
And find, like, common dots
or, like, things.
Dot, dot-dot-dot, diamond.
Let's do it properly once.
Come on, Dad.
We're smarter than this.
You smell that.
Do you think it's pepper?
Yep.
OK.
Alright, let's go.
This way.
Right. Pepper.
Marjoram.
No.
Oh, God.
I've got no idea.
I've got no idea.
Think, think, think, think.
Oh! Argh!
Oh!
Oh.
Mum would be good at this.
First after route marker was the
'Spice Up Your Life' challenge.
It was so overwhelming, I think...
Yeah.
..'cause it was the tastes.
And some of them would hit you...
Yeah.
That one tastes, like, peppery.
I had a solid three and I was
tossing up between another two.
So, one, paprika.
Full disclosure - I heard other
teams say spice names out loud.
..um, cumin, black pepper.
Yes!
Yes! Thank you, thank you.
OK. Paprika, ginger, cumin,
turmeric and pepper.
Yes! Yes! Thank you!
"Detour. In a Line or Off the Line.
"In a Line...you must correctly
line up 5 dates in order
"of least expensive
to most expensive."
"Off the Line...
you must sort piles of laundry."
Laundry?
Yeah, laundry. Let's do laundry.
Which one do you think?
Off the Line. Let's go!
Now, right.
Yep, yep. Just here.
OK.
Thank you.
Let's go.
The setting was
absolutely incredible.
A beautiful, like, fort.
Old cobbled streets.
Oh, thank you!
I see a local kid watching on
saying hello.
It was really cool
to have that cultural experience.
Over here, I can see them.
Alright, choose a basket of laundry.
Basket of laundry.
OK.
So, each of the baskets had
50 items of clothing in them.
You fold and I'm gonna
put them in the piles.
OK.
The tags were in Arabic
and so we had to sort and fold
the piles of laundry.
I feel like this is definitely
a really good choice for us.
The Arabic language here
is very specific.
So we knew that was
gonna be difficult.
The tiniest dot to the left or right
makes it completely different.
Where are the dots placed?
Above or below the letters.
I think being a maths teacher
is definitely helping
because my job with maths,
I have to pay attention to detail
every single day.
Um, so...
..ginger, paprika.
Yes!
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Taxi!
Are we here?
Oh, no, did we go the wrong way?
Wrong way, OK.
Ohh.
It's alright.
It's laundry day, Mori.
Keep up a good pace, do it properly.
Let's do it properly.
So it just happens once.
Do it right the first time round.
Yeah.
..cumin, cardamon.
Oh, God!
I expected the race
to always be hard.
But it's so much harder.
Oh, far out.
..turmeric, cumin and pepper.
Yes!
Thank you so much!
"Sort piles of laundry."
I don't know how to do laundry.
This is not the fountain.
Alright, go, Mohamed.
What are you doing?
It's the traffic light.
Oh, rightio.
Yep. Ta. Thank you.
There's a flag down there.
Laundry.
Laundry!
Thank you, darling!
Laundry!
OK. Hey, girls!
- Hello!
- Hi, guys.
Hey, darling, how are you?
Good.
Mouth on fire. Whoo!
Let's get the tags.
Check the name.
You seen any diamond-diamond-diamonds
on the bottom?
No, that's not it either.
Oh, that's wrong.
That's...that's already wrong.
OK.
Hello. Basket?
Look for the flags!
It was go, run, rush.
Where's the dates?
You're just automatically thinking,
you need to be the first team
to get to the next challenge.
- Dates? Dates?
- Dates?
The dates? Date seller?
Date seller. Food.
Dates.
Dates!
Yeah.
Up there!
Here. Thank you.
Really cool.
OK. Here.
Hello.
OK.
Thank you. Go on, then.
Oh, here we go.
Like, are these different varieties
in here?
Like fine wine. You know?
Yeah. Yeah, right.
There must be a clue
where we can find out what the...
Here, hang on. Let's have a look.
Yeah. I'm just looking.
Oh, my gosh!
Read that.
Oh, my God! Here we go.
Oh, let's get them right.
Wrinkled, like old, a bit like you.
Yeah, yeah.
So the light is
the less expensive one.
OK.
Wrinkled is the most.
Large is the middle.
Put a big one in the middle, hon.
Yeah, that looks good, babe.
That looks good.
That looks awesome.
Please?
Oh, my gosh. OK.
So, light is cheapest.
Light is cheapest.
Yeah, it's cumin.
So I feel like that's right.
Let's try it again.
..ginger, paprika.
Yes! Thank you so much, mate.
Thank you. Thank you.
We're doing Off the Line.
Yep. Let's go.
..turmeric, cumin, pepper?
Yes!
Thanks so much! Thanks so much!
We're second-last.
Old Town, Ouarzazate.
Watch out for your head.
Alright, the marked path.
Where's the town fountain?
Hurry! Hurry!
Here.
Laundry! Laundry!
Oh, there, there, there.
Yep, that's it.
That's it, that's it.
Oh, my God, that way, that way!
OK.
Hello!
OK, pick a station.
That station looks free.
Yes, let's do it.
I'll just put them out here first.
Yep.
I think we'll definitely make up
some time here, which is great.
Hopefully we won't find
someone's G-string or something.
That'd be rather awkward,
wouldn't it?
We had a plan. Tammy
would fold and I would organise.
And that worked excellent,
that system, because it played
to each of our strengths.
Big picture, small detail.
Macro, micro.
Yin, yang.
Oh, just double-checking.
Yeah, OK, OK. Yep.
No, it's not chilli.
Paprika!
Oh, please be it,
please be it!
Thank you for being it.
Where's the Spice Girls
when you need them?
Paprika, ginger, turmeric,
cumin, black pepper.
Yes!
Thank you!
In a Line, I think. Let's go.
Yeah, OK.
We were in our own heads about it.
We've got to get better at that.
Thank you.
Alright, let's get in.
Oh, these are so cute!
As you go, double-check the names.
OK?
Yep!
So, dot, dot-dot-dot.
Never thought I'd travel halfway
across the world to do laundry.
But, uh, here we are!
Yeah.
Laundry! Laundry! Lady! Lady!
Laundry!
Pardon?
No?
Oh.
Which pile? This one?
Um, something is wrong in this pile,
so alright.
They're not right. OK.
Yep! Yep!
Good job, Gab. That was really good.
Yep.
Good teamwork. I think we got it.
Yeah.
Yes!
- Well done, ladies!
- Well done, girls!
You guys got this!
Take your time. Check your names.
Alright, Road Block.
Road Block.
A Road Block is a challenge
that only one team member must
complete based on a cryptic clue.
Ouarzazate is home to Atlas Studios,
one of the biggest film studios
in the world
which has shot massive
Hollywood films like 'Star Wars',
'Gladiator', 'The Jewel of the Nile'
and one of the biggest blockbusters
of all time,
'The Mummy'.
In this Road Block, one member from
each team will become a stuntman,
the most dangerous profession
in the film industry.
Firstly, they'll mummify themselves.
Then with a lit torch,
they'll run barefoot over hot coals.
Carry a spear as they attempt
to cross a narrow beam.
Then hand the spear to the mummy.
Looking good, mate.
Launch through three rings of fire
and perform a stunt roll
through the last one.
Oh! I'm on fire!
And the final stunt is to come
crashing through a brick wall.
Complete the stunt course
in 45 seconds
and they'll receive their next clue.
Who wants the starring role?
Well, it was a given - me.
Yeah, it was.
Atlas Studios.
Stressed that we're, like,
really, really far behind
and that people have probably
even moved on from this detour.
Yeah, I feel like
we're, like, half an hour
behind everyone.
Just always behind.
OK. What do we see? What do we see?
Laundry!
Up there?
Ooh! Let's go.
Please, lovely lady,
say yes.
Yes! Thank you, thank you!
Oh, my gosh. Come on.
Come on.
I'm excited.
Sugar. "Who wants
the starring role?"
"Who wants the starring role?" You.
You do. Yep.
I don't.
OK. Alright, I'm doing it.
- Yeah?
- Oh. Hoo-hoo!
OK, that was a bad one.
We thought it would be simple.
This looks wrinkly.
But we don't eat dates, we don't
purchase them in the groceries.
This is bad. This is bad. Can you
see? We're the only ones here.
No-one else came here.
Yeah.
So this is bad.
It was actually really hard.
Oh, far out!
What?!
Oh, babe, come on!
What are we gonna do?
There's the way there.
Right.
Laundry. Oh, that's the laundry!
The person who will get us lost
during the race will be me.
Alright, if we go to
the laundry, let's just try it.
So we decided to change our mind.
Is this one free?
Yeah, that's free.
The challenge was
folding the washing
and sorting it with
the Arabic names on it.
Mums, unfortunately, generally
do fold a lot more washing!
OK.
It was the learning the Arabic
that was the hard part.
Oh, no, that one's the wrong one.
Show me.
These are... Oh, no.
This one's in the wrong one.
Hello!
I've never felt so much stress
over clothing before.
Awesome! Thank you so much.
Yes! Thank you.
Mum, you did a good job.
You taught me how to talk...
Do laundry!
..fold my clothes.
Oh, God. I think it's a Road Block.
Road Block.
"Who wants the starring role?"
Acting and dancing.
You happy to do it?
Want me to do it?
Oh, don't stack it, Vincent!
My heart's pumping
out of my chest.
I know.
Sucks if anything's wrong
'cause you gotta refold it.
Yes!
Yes!
Good job.
Great job. Alright, can you rip one?
Can you rip one finally?
Oh!
Road Block.
"Who wants the starring role?" It'll
be acting or something like that.
Georgia can be a bit of
an actress and drama queen,
so this is right up her alley.
Yep. Keep going.
Let's just go.
Oh, my God!
Let's just try.
Yeah.
Ohhh.
We tried, what, 20 times
and still failed.
Oh!
Could have been 30.
Could have been 30.
Frick!
They're still going, G.
Oh, my God.
The laundry's pretty easy. If you
wanna switch, it's not that hard.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That was nice of that green team.
Shall we just switch?
If you want, we can give it a go.
Yep. Let's just switch. OK.
Thank you.
What if they tricked us?
Well, we weren't getting anywhere
with those dates.
So...
♪ We are in
first place... ♪
Oh, well, as far as we're aware.
Good start.
So we're off to Atlas Studios.
Where I'm gonna do
some special effects.
Beep! Beep!
Go! Go!
Alright, so there's still one, two,
three, four other teams here.
So we're not that far behind.
I think we've got this.
I really do.
Sorry.
It really made me cranky
that I stuffed around
with those dates for so long.
Where do we get our laundry from?
This one?
Yep.
No, no, next one.
Yeah, that basket there, yeah.
OK.
Look. Look, look.
Oh, my God.
You're going slow, buddy!
Thanks, Mohammed, you've got this.
That's...that's where.
That's here? Wow. OK.
Wow!
Thank you, taxi.
OK, let's go, let's go!
The film studios was just,
like, crazy. It was exciting.
Wow! Look at this.
Oh, my God. Thank you.
Thank you.
There were props everywhere
and cool stuff.
Yeah, this way, Flick.
OK. "Use the bandages provided
to cover your body."
I had to bandage Flick
from the toes up.
Then there was an obstacle course.
We're very lucky that
we have had cadet training.
We did first aid cadets.
Hey, guys,
we're trained first aiders.
Stay where you are
while we check for dangers.
Looking for dangers,
searching for dangers.
No dangers...
To be found.
Oh, what a crack-up.
Oh, wow, Tammy,
look at how great this is.
So approximately how many rolls...
Until you can't see it.
..to cover it?
Oh, my God,
Atlas Studios, here we go.
Mohammed, wait for us?
Any strategy?
Nah. Top-to-bottom wrapping.
Check, please!
Check, please.
I trust that we sorted it right.
It's just folding clothes.
It shouldn't be that scary.
Here we go.
OK.
Road Block.
Road Block.
"Who wants the starring role?"
Starring role?
Oh, the queen over here.
He's always performing
for our pet dog.
Let's go! Come on!
Hustle.
We fold differently.
Do we?
Grew up in the same household
and we fold differently.
I try to copy Mum,
but she says I'm not good at it.
Check, please!
Let's be hoping, hoping.
Oh!
Yes! Yes!
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We got it in our first go.
It really lifted our spirits.
Oh, my God. I'm so happy
that we caught up.
I can't believe it.
Alright. Road Block.
- Road Block.
- "Who wants the starring role?"
Come on, you can act.
Oh, alright, I'll do it.
Rachel as a little girl
loved to act.
Her and her sister, you know,
they'd always put on shows at home.
Yeah, they were fantastic girls.
Great, Rach,
we've made up some room.
Let's go, Mori. Hustle.
Let's go.
Where's our driver?
Where did he go?
He drove off.
Ohhh.
Yes!
Ready?
Go!
Oh.
"Who wants the starring role?"
It's me!
OK.
How cool are these little alleyways?
Oh, it's amazing.
We're in Morocco, you know.
Thank you!
Yes!
Thank you so much!
Road Block. So, one, two...
Rock always wins. Damn it!
I'm surprised we didn't discuss
what scissor, rock, paper means,
whether the winner or the loser
has to do it.
Surely the winner means
you don't have to do it.
Oh, yeah, well...
I thought that's how it works.
You just don't want to do it! Ha!
Jake and I have been together
for three years now.
It's been a pretty wild
relationship, to be honest.
Three months in,
I was actually involved in a
pretty serious motorcycle accident.
He broke his neck, his back,
punctured a lung, crushed his foot.
The next year, I actually got
diagnosed with cancer.
Thankfully, he's in remission.
Throughout it all, Holly
really stepped up as my carer.
Always had her by my side.
I believe in you so much.
Thanks, hon.
We've got this.
Let's go! There's the other
team. I've gotta mummify you.
Oh! Man, I hope I don't need
to go to the toilet.
I messed it up already.
I don't know.
This is a bit close for comfort.
Really? We're married, babe.
That is true.
Thread it under.
You're not usually shy.
OK, OK, come on.
I'm running through that
barefoot?
Have fun, Flick.
Fake hair was pinned back. The
lashes, I was a little bit nervous.
Go, you mummy!
Hooroo. Let's go!
Don't forget about
the time limit.
Here is your torch.
Keep it above your head.
Go, go, go!
Go, Flick! Go, mummy, go!
Go, mummy!
Alright, take your time.
Trust yourself, Flicka.
Go, go, go, go, go! Good job!
Go, Flicka!
Good.
Go!
Yes! Yes! Commando! Commando!
Break through!
Yes!
Oh, my lashes!
She just said she's worried
about her lashes.
Did we go? Thank you!
Alright. Route Info.
"Find the 16 majestic stone sphinxes
"and solve the riddle
to receive your next clue."
In this challenge,
teams must locate
the 16 sphinx statues
amongst Atlas Studios'
49-acre backlot.
Using the statues,
the teams must solve
the riddle of the sphinx.
"The King sits
to the right of his brother
"and across from his sister.
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
After locating the correct rock
at the King's feet,
the teams will receive
their next clue.
So we've got to find the sphinxes.
Did it say where they are?
Nah. It's somewhere in here.
Wheres's our taxi? He drove off.
They drove down...
They drove them back up this way.
Did you see other people
like us running?
Yeah or no?
No.
I don't know, Mori.
We knew that we had lost places.
Where is he?
That's not
how you fold a T-shirt.
You're just making it
a bit harder for me.
So we were the last two teams
at the laundry.
I don't understand!
We got through the laundry
very quickly.
Ready.
The girl searched it.
They look at your items.
Oh, OK.
I think it's 'cause of these two.
That's this one.
This matches, this matches.
Check, please.
Oh, thank God!
"Who wants the starring role?"
I think I can do it.
Alright.
There you are.
- "Make your way..."
- "By your taxi."
We don't...
Our taxi wasn't up there.
We were trying to find you!
We couldn't find you.
That's alright. We're still in it.
One little hiccup. That's OK.
Just not sure
how thorough they want us to be.
To be.
You used to change my nappies,
so this is not that awkward.
- Merci.
- Merci.
My shoulder's not covered.
No, no.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Are you trying to choke me?
Oh, that one was slipping.
No, no, no, it's too tight.
Let's go!
Let's go!
We all got the same amount
of bandages,
but I had to cover my 6'4" man.
Diaper time!
Can you not zoom in so much
to my manhood, sir?
This is awesome!
Never thought I'd be bandaging
your body.
Oh, I'd hoped you'd never be needing
to bandage me, but, you know.
Oh, there's just a little bit here.
Yeah.
Let's wrap it like that.
Being too thorough, we realised
there was other teams
that had caught up behind us.
Come on, G.
So I have to walk across that?
Yeah.
Is it gonna hurt my feet?
Yeah.
What the...?
I can't even believe
this is happening.
If you told me a week ago, Georgia'd
be a stuntwoman in Morocco,
I would've told you you're dreaming.
On three.
OK.
Three, two, one. Go!
Oh, my God.
Good job!
Good, good, good, good, good!
Go, G!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Nice!
Surely this just, like,
certifies cool teacher status.
Don't ever come at me with, like,
lame teacher again, because I'm not.
You were a bad-ass.
Certified bad-ass.
Yeah. Certified bad-ass.
Thank you so much!
Thank you.
I think I broke my arm,
but it's worth it.
OK. Route Info. "Find the 16
majestic stone sphinxes..."
OK, let's go.
Awesome.
Ah, which way?
Nah, see? This is wrong.
Look. Skinny 'I' here.
Thick 'I' there.
I was getting so mad!
I hadn't even said one word.
She was gonna blow.
What pile did you get this from?
Because this is this pile.
- It was in here.
- Oh, great!
Check, please.
Yes!
Ha ha!
Thank you! Thank you!
My fingers are sticky
from those dates.
Road Block.
"Who wants the starring role?"
Oooh.
I'll do it?
Let's go.
Can you please stay?
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Wrap me up.
So now your neck, Rach...
Yeah. Not too tight.
'Cause I can't breathe.
I was so nervous
even before we'd gotten around
to see the challenge.
Dad, it's really tight
around my neck!
Oh, Rach!
It's really tight around my neck!
I can't breathe!
Oh!
Go, Tammy!
Keep the torch above your head.
Time limit, don't forget about it.
Go!
She just ran over hot burning coal!
Oh!
What went wrong?
Oh, ran out of time.
Ohh! I took too long
on the balance beam.
Yes, Cynthia!
Through the wall!
Whoo!
Yes! Yes!
Come on, let's go, let's go.
There's only two sphinx.
So this might not be it.
The next clue we had to find...
where the sphinxes were
and solve the riddle.
Yes, see, what does that say?
Sphinx. That way.
Wow! This is cool.
So there's the temple steps,
I'm assuming.
At the top of them is the riddle.
"Each sphinx has a basket of rocks
at its feet.
"When you think you have the answer
to the riddle,
"collect a rock from the sphinx
you believe to be correct."
Yeah, alright, let's go.
Hello!
Hello!
"The King sits
to the right of his brother
"and across from his sister."
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
How do you know which the King is?
Damn you. You were well and truly
behind me and you just absolutely...
Smashed it.
Got in front. Well done.
That's my husband.
He does the wrapping.
He does the Christmas wrapping.
I'm the present.
Oh, my God.
You'll be right, Rach.
I'm just really stressed about this.
When I saw the challenge,
I was very overwhelmed and anxious.
Good luck, Rach.
Thank you.
You'll be fine.
Yeah.
Who chooses to, like,
run through fire hoops?
Or run through hot coals?
Not me!
This looks really difficult.
It's gonna push Rachel.
I hope she can do it.
And...go!
Come on, Rach!
Oh!
All my bandages came off and the
local said that it wasn't safe.
I can't do this like this, Dad!
We're gonna have to start again!
I cannot run like this.
Look at this.
I've got really bad anxiety about
this, Dad. I don't wanna do this!
What do you wanna do?
I don't know!
I feel like I'm just
suffocating in here.
Get it off!
No...
Get it off me.
Get it off!
I am, honey, it's alright.
It's alright, Rachel.
Oh, my God! Get it off me!
Rachel, come here.
What was going through my mind
was just like...
"I...I can't do this.
I can't do this.
"Like, I'm gonna suffocate and die."
Here you are.
I know it sounds irrational,
but at that time it's not irrational
to Rachel, that's how she feels.
It's alright.
What happens if we forfeit?
I have no idea.
Ohhh.
No, let's not look at her. Let's
give her some privacy. Poor thing.
Pressure's a lot, isn't it? It is.
This is your moment!
The Rubik's cube,
they had to redo it.
So we actually jumped 2 or 3 spots.
Jumped up 2 or 3 spots.
Which is exactly what we needed...
Yeah.
..after the taxi debacle.
It's 'Flashdance'.
OK, one, two, three!
You got this! You got this!
Whoo!
Yes! That's it!
Through, through, through, through!
He slammed that!
Maybe I can be a stunt double.
Maybe.
'Cause I killed that challenge.
"Find the 16 majestic
stone sphinxes..."
Alright, let's go.
You wait for us again?
Thank you so much.
I'll do your legs.
You start doing your arms.
Let's go!
I was a bit worried because
this is a physical challenge.
Yeah, yeah.
I was all kinds of nervous.
Hold this, hon, here, for me.
I gotta...
Just hold this first!
Let's go!
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Oh!
No?
Why?
I just got called for a fault on it.
All of his wrapping's falling off.
We're gonna have to fix that up.
My bandages kinda all came off. I had
to go back to the back of the line.
We really lost all of the ground
that we made up.
I was pretty shattered at that point.
OK, so this...
I don't know how this has happened.
"The temple steps..."
"Find your riddle
on the top of the temple steps."
Up here.
That's sphinxes, aren't they?
Move on, move on.
I don't know.
Can you see sphinxes there?
The cats! The cats! That's them!
"..at the giant sphinxes..."
Well, they're not giant.
Top of the temple steps. This is the
temple. Ask someone who works here.
Temple?
"The King sits to the right
of his brother
"and across from his sister."
Could she be a chick?
That one looks really chicky.
How do you know?
This challenge was awful.
This challenge was so hard.
Can you see if they have,
like, genitals?
Genitals?
I'm gonna go
with alligators are boys.
Yeah.
He looks like the King.
The King sits right to his brother.
Across is the sister.
Yeah.
What's the next thing?
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
So it's this one.
OK. Let's go try it. YOLO.
I'm pretty confident.
No.
Oh, no!
Alright.
Riddles are hard.
Riddles are hard.
Riddles are hard!
Who's coming?
The green.
The girls are still there.
Second place, baby!
Flick and Gabby had had a massive
jump on us from the Road Block.
So when we saw them, I was shocked.
There!
OK.
"The King sits to the right
of his brother
"and across from his sister.
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
You're a history teacher.
Do you know what a King looks like
in Egypt?
Um...
Come down here to have a look.
I can't do it.
OK.
That's it, then.
We'll get a time penalty.
Yeah.
I just didn't want
to disappoint Dad.
Ohh!
No. Never.
Never!
Nah.
She just doesn't want to do it.
100% confirmed?
Yep. It's not gonna happen.
After electing to pull out
of the Road Block,
our dad and daughter duo
from Phillip Island, Victoria
must now serve a 30-minute penalty.
I'm proud of you, anyway.
Ohhh!
The first attempt
just took too long.
So we had to give it another shot.
Run, Forrest, run!
Go!
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
She's doing really fast now.
Leap like you've never leapt before!
I totally just had "Hulk smash"
in my head.
No hesitation.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Congratulations.
Thank you!
- One, two, three!
- Go, Claire!
Through the burning rings of fire!
Yes!
- "The top of the temple step."
- Come on, Fliss!
Focus, mate. You got it.
Well done, Fliss.
Oh, yes, you did it!
I've no idea what is going on.
Giant sphinx over there maybe?
Oh, yes! The King sits
to the right of his brother."
Oh! There's sphinxes
over there.
Oh, no, another team.
Go on.
To see what I was seeing,
I was about to burst into tears.
Oh, my God, like my fears.
The fire.
I was really starting to panic.
All I thought of was our children.
Like, you just picture them.
I said to myself, "My kids are at
the other end. I'm saving them."
I would never not...
I would die for my children.
So, running through fire,
running through the hoops
and walking the plank,
like, to me, that was a no-brainer.
I wouldn't even think twice about it
so I just wanted to get it done.
Three, two, one. Go!
Come on, baby!
Yoo!
I thought the bricks were real.
Thank you!
Solid!
Oh, man, I'm so proud of you,
my girl.
Honestly, I nearly started crying,
baby.
So the King sits
to the right of his brother.
Oh, no, the Rubik's cubes are coming.
Oh, no, another team.
We kept looking over the horizon,
thinking, "Who's next?"
Steps! Oh, my gosh.
Yes. Come on!
Let's go this way. Come on, Claire!
Where's the temple steps?
Ah, thank you.
Pako, I think it's this one.
We literally just said that.
We just went into competition mode
and it was on.
How does that look?
No.
Ohhh!
We're in the middle,
but this could be the last leg.
Mori, you gotta come here.
If you crack this,
you could be coming first
for the first Pit Stop.
It's gonna be a good one.
Don't get left behind.
This one could be a King
potentially?
Yep.
OK.
We had to read the riddle, find out
which sphinx we needed to go to
and take that rock,
which we presented to a judge
and he would say
if we were correct or incorrect.
No.
OK.
We both couldn't figure it out.
Look at the drawings on their chest.
That's looking into it too much.
God, this is hard, eh?
Guys, I think work together,
keep it between us.
Yeah, yeah.
We migrated to Flick and Gabby.
We need to do this together.
So which rock should we pull first?
We'll go to this chick.
From the get-go, we had
a massive jump on other teams
because we opened
those social networks.
Guys, happy to work together
if you want to try.
We'll do it. We'll do it together.
We were all struggling so much
in that challenge,
so let's just get through this
all together so we can get out.
Then we can race.
OK, let's go.
"The King sits to the right of his
brother and across from his sister."
Alright.
Let's go find these sphinxes.
Yeah.
After serving
their 30-minute time penalty,
Paul and Rachel are now on their way
to the next challenge.
The next challenge was, you know,
where we had to use our brains,
which is what we're here for.
So, they said
the giant steps, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Deep breaths.
Everyone got through them.
It's OK.
Now we're last.
We were both really frustrated.
We'd gone from
making up so much time
to losing it all up again
and just trying to
not lose our cool too much.
I'll be back to being fun
and light-hearted
once we get through this challenge.
This one's really rocking me a bit.
Go!
I'm not even joking, I can't look.
I'm just too stressed out.
Smash through! Smash through!
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
Go, go, go, go!
Oh, you bloody legend!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Argh! Let's go!
Come on!
We gotta work out a riddle.
"The King sits to the right of his
brother and across from his sister."
"Below the King sits the rock
that you seek."
When we got to riddles
and seeing everybody still there...
Yeah.
..I thought, "Oh, this isn't good.
"They must be struggling."
"The King sits to the right
of his brother..."
I'm thinking the King is the lion.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But he's next to his brother,
so they're the same.
Has to be the same.
Yes! That makes sense.
We just sort of...
Collab'd.
..collab'd.
This is the King because
the right of his brother is...
That's the brother.
So he's the King.
- OK!
- Let's go, G.
Yes.
- Yes! Thank you.
- Yes! Thank you.
I need you to rip.
I am.
"Make your way
to the UNESCO World Heritage site
"of Ksar Ait Ben Haddou and search
for Beau at your first Pit Stop."
Ksar Ait Ben Haddou
is a fortified village
which dates back to the 11th century.
This fort held strategic importance
on Trans-Saharan trade routes,
linking the city of Ouarzazate
to Marrakech
through the High Atlas Mountains.
This UNESCO World Heritage site
most recently was the set
for 'Game of Thrones'
and it's the most epic location
for the Pit Stop of the first leg
of The Amazing Race Australia!
"Hurry, the last team to check in
will be eliminated."
OK, let's go.
Yes!
Let's go.
Yes.
Yes!
We're finally
getting to the Pit Stop.
Come on, Flick!
"Hurry, the last team to
check in will be eliminated."
Oh, my God!
For across from his sister...
No, that's left, this is right.
We joined up with a team.
I think it's Fliss and...
Just the country bumpkins.
Let's call them the country bumpkins.
They were cool, though.
I feel like I should order
the pizza.
I'm just the pizza guy, OK?
Are they sphinxes?
Getting to the next challenge
was exciting because
there was other teams there.
- Hi! Well done!
- Well done, guys.
And it gave us a bit of hope and,
like, "Ah! We're still in the race!"
"The King sits to the right
of his brother..."
Two that look similar, I wanna say?
Do they all look different?
They all look different.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Go, quick!
Gabby, Flick, Tiffany,
Cynthia and the pink team
were hot on our heels.
Let's go!
So we knew it was a four-team race.
Yes. Go, go, go. Thank you.
Go, go, go, go!
Please, please.
Argh!
Oh, no.
Damn, they popped in just before us.
It's alright.
We can beat them on the leg.
First team to drive out.
Yeah, good.
The taste of first at the start
of the leg really got us...
Geed up.
Yep.
If we get in front of them...
Whoo! We have to beat them.
We had a real sniff of coming first,
so we were excited at that prospect.
Yes! Yes!
No!
Don't let them!
No! No! No! No! Go! Go!
No! No! No! No!
Have to win! Have to win!
Or we go home.
"Make your way on foot
to the Pit Stop.
"Take the marked crossing
across the river."
I'm proud of us.
I know.
I'm so happy. I'm proud of us.
This is massive for us.
We literally...
We didn't think we'd even be close,
so it'll be a huge start for us.
Yeah.
It's actually so beautiful, eh?
Yeah, so pretty.
- We worked so hard to be here.
- Yeah.
We want to experience
everything this race has to offer.
We're here and we might
possibly take home the prize.
Get there and sprint and then
we can rest when we're dead.
- Can we try and take over?
- Yes, thank you.
Go, Mohammed.
Go, Mohammed, you got this.
- So they are same?
- Yeah.
Correct.
So that's the King.
Yeah. So let's try this one.
Thank you very much.
"Hurry, last team to check in
will be eliminated."
Thank you!
"Hurry, last team to check in
will be eliminated."
Let's go!
Come on, Claire.
Go, go, go! Yes!
- Yeah, there's a flag there.
- OK, flag there?
You certain?
Yeah. Yeah.
G, we gotta go.
Once at the car park,
we were in a panic
because we knew there was
three teams just behind us.
Come on, Flicka!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Let's go, Mori.
Got everything, G? Let's go.
Where's the flags?
Here!
I saw a flag, but I saw all the
other teams running a different way.
This way, this way.
I was, like,
"OK, let's just go for it."
Are you OK?
Yep.
Let's go!
The newlyweds took
a different route.
Keep going, I reckon.
But we could see the girls in front
of us and we just started sprinting.
Go, Mori! Push!
Here!
We were running, running, dying.
Running and dying.
Yeah.
Yes!
Fitness is the killer!
At this point, I'm just
guessing. No bloody method.
No. All the thumbs down
was just...another stab.
Time was just disappearing.
Try orange. Try orange!
Yes.
Yes! Far out!
Yes.
Oh, thank God!
Yeah, let's just go through here.
I don't have any idea.
OK.
I feel like it would be a red one.
Really frustrated at that point.
We'd gone from making up
so much time to second-last again.
But we're not here to give up.
King sits to the right.
To the right.
That's why I'm confident.
And then across from his sister.
That one's definite.
Yes.
Thank you.
"Hurry.
"Last team to check in
will be eliminated."
Let's go, babe. Come on!
How do you know he's the King?
We don't.
But he's the only one that's right
and across from his sister.
Oh, OK.
Any luck?
Yes.
Ohhh, Rachel!
"Hurry, the last team
will be eliminated."
Oh, does that say "will"?
Yeah.
Let's go.
There's a mark there.
Straight ahead.
Vincent and Tammy
were in front of us.
Nothing? Do you think
it's the other way, though?
It was marked there, though.
There was a mark in there,
wasn't there?
He's telling that way. Let's go.
Come on, guys. Sorry.
We think it's the other way.
We think it's this way.
The river.
Keep going, I reckon.
We had no idea where we were.
We couldn't see the Pit Stop.
Come on!
This could cost us first place.
Where's the river?
Mori, come! Push!
We could see
the first Pit Stop,
which is so incredible.
But...
I can see the Pit Stop!
Where?
Just ahead of us.
When we got down to the river,
we saw the newlyweds just there.
Push!
Yes! Come on, G!
It's a foot race. Here we go.
Go, Mori!
Oh, quick, quick! Run! Just go
in the water! Go in the water!
Alright.
Mori, come!
Come on, come on, come on! Run!
Hi, Beau! Ahh!
Kelly and Georgia, you are...
..the first team to check in!
Oh, I'm so proud of you.
Oh!
Mmm! So proud of you. Great job.
Oh, my God.
We came first!
Yay!
Yay!
Now, guys, as the first team to check
in, you have won a luxury escape
to the Mornington Peninsula
in Victoria.
Ooh! Nice!
Oh, my God!
You'll be staying
at the award-winning Jackalope Hotel
and winery, thanks to Visit Victoria.
I've been there before.
It's beautiful.
Oh, my God, that's unreal!
We're gonna need it!
Yeah, I need it after this.
Oh!
Pako and Mori, you are
the second team to check in!
Oh, my God, it feels amazing! Yeah.
Well done, boys.
We almost had 'em at the end.
Come on, Flicka!
Flick and Gabby, you are
the third team to check in!
Yes!
I feel a lot more confident
going into this next leg.
So, bring it on.
Go and get some rest.
You're gonna need it.
Tiffany and Cynthia,
you are the fourth team to check in.
Yes!
Well done, girls.
Thank you. Thank you.
Come on!
Please!
- Wait up.
- Middle.
We'll make it. We should.
Can you take us there very fast?
I won't relax until
I'm standing in front of Beau.
This is it, honey.
We really gotta push this.
Yeah, yeah.
'Cause those guys at the back,
Rachel and the dad...
You never know.
..they're pretty clever.
We really, really
don't want to be eliminated.
No.
"Advise your taxi to park
"at the marked parking area
"next to the complex..."
"And make your way on foot
to the Pit Stop.
"Take the marked crossing."
So it's very important that
we do not, like, miss the turn.
I don't know
how far back they are.
Well, if it's a leg race
between Jamus and Chelsea and us,
like, they're actually pretty quick.
I think here come
Chelsea and Jamus, is it?
Yep. They're right up at us!
Let's go!
Quick! Quick! Quick!
Fast! Fast! Fast!
No! Oh, my God, faster, faster!
Faster!
Past the bridge.
Come on, Claire!
Tammy and Vincent,
you're the fifth team to check in!
Yeah!
I'm gonna take that. Yeah.
Go and rest. I'll see you soon.
OK. Thanks.
Thank you.
Good job!
We're coming!
Ah!
We're here!
Jodie and Claire...
Yes, Beau!
..you are the sixth team to check in.
Really happy with that.
For the old ladies, it's
a good old lady place to finish.
Oh, my God!
- Hey! Door!
- Sorry!
Come here, Dad.
Go, go, go, go!
Come on!
Which way do we go?
I was panicking.
We have to push ourselves
to that finish line
because the last one
to the Pit Stop will be eliminated.
When you start getting
to that lower half of the teams
and you kinda know
that you're in danger,
you just gotta tunnel-vision it.
Where is the river?
How you going? Is the river this way?
Is that the direction to the river?
River down there?
Where was the yellow flag?
Straight that way.
So desperate to get to Beau.
We've come so far and we really,
really don't want to be eliminated.
Oh, we've gotta cross the river.
So it's gotta be down, anyway.
Which way do you think,
girls?
There was a bit of a race
between Chelsea and Jamus and us.
- Where's the marked path?
- Must be down here.
When it comes to the end,
if you're one of the last teams,
I'd just sprint for it.
- Hoo-hoo!
- Hoo-hoo-hoo!
Come on, baby!
Keep going.
Wow. I love that.
Holly straight across.
Jake doesn't want
to get his feet wet.
Yeah. Yeah!
Beau!
Jake and Holly, you are
the seventh team to check in.
Awesome, man!
That's good.
You're still alive. Bring it in!
Yeah. Still alive.
Go rest, recover.
Come on, Fliss!
Fliss and Tot...
Beau.
..you are the eighth team
to check in.
Oh! Good job, mate.
You're still in, girls.
Come on, baby!
Are they all the way up there?
Yeah.
Down here, Rachel.
Chelsea and Jamus...
..you are...
..the ninth team to check in.
Good job, baby!
You're still in by that much.
I know!
Go recover and enjoy Morocco.
Yeah! Thanks, Beau.
Thank you!
Salam.
Salam.
Hi, Beau.
Hi, Beau.
Paul and Rachel,
you are the last team to check in.
Unfortunately, guys,
your time on the race is over.
Oh.
Disappointed.
Disappointed,
but we gave it a crack.
Sorry, I know we're a long way from
home, but that's how this show goes.
Yeah. That is.
All good.
Proud of you guys for having a crack.
I wouldn't do it with anyone else,
but only you.
Mum's gonna kill me for saying that.
Bring it in, guys.
Look after each other,
and I hope you're OK, darling.
Thank you.
We've run the race
true to ourselves.
We did say slow and steady
wins the race.
We did. Yeah.
We were definitely slow.
10 amazing teams of Aussies
have just pushed themselves
to the limit...
Oh, my lashes!
..in a race across Morocco.
First team to check in!
But they have got no idea
what's coming.
Tomorrow night...
Three,
two,
one.
Go!
10 new teams...
Let's go!
Hey, hey!
A team just jumped in our cab.
..will travel from Sydney
to Marrakech.
It's the biggest season...
..of The Amazing Race...
Oh, my God. Yuck!
Smells like your farts.
..ever.
Who would have thought
a lemon could be so dangerous?
I can't do it.
