The Amazing Race Australia (2011) s04e08 Episode Script

Previously
on The Amazing Race Australia -
the competition reached new heights
in Africa
Zimbabwe!
What?!
..where the rivalries went wild.
Today is hashtag
The end of Jasmin and Jerome.
Come on, boys, give us a leg.
Tom and Tyler walked to the win
You're the first team to check in.
..but Sid and Ash narrowly swerved
elimination.
This is a non-elimination leg.
Tonight, as our African safari
continues in Zimbabwe
Unbelievable.
Was something out of a picture book.
Best moment of my life.
..teams go back to school
We had the whole community there,
cheering us on. Really, really nice.
..to learn some hard lessons.
Do that. Do that.
Ooh!
Our anxiety, stress, and like, fear
went from here
to, like, zhooo.
But break the rules
You put too much in. Good?
Are you joking?
Rules are made to be broken.
..and you'll find yourself
You know the rules.
Take a seat, please.
This can't be happening.
..in detention.
This is the Zambezi National Park,
located on the border
of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
This untouched savannah covers
almost 5,000 square kilometres
and is home to millions of animals.
It's from here teams
are about to begin the eighth leg
of the Amazing Race Australia.
Teams will depart in the same order
they arrived at the pit stop
during the last leg.
Oh, road block.
"Who's ready to gorge themselves?"
A road block is a challenge that only
one team member can perform.
For this road block, that person
is gonna have to throw themselves
headfirst into this challenge.
Time for one member from each team
Time f
Time for one member from each team
to gorge themselves..
This is Batoka gorge.
It's 316 metres wide
and 120 metres high
with the hippo-filled Zambezi River
flowing right through the middle.
Our teams are gonna have to complete
a leap of faith
and hope they don't become hippo food.
Go!
And when they get back to the top,
they'll receive their next clue.
You.
That's me.
With six teams left, there is
incredibly strong competition
so you really can't drop
the ball at all.
You.
Yeah, I'll do that.
Oh, no. OK, that's me.
I'm doing this one.
It's a giant swing, Joey.
You can do it. You can do it.
Before we started this race,
it was agreed between Viv and myself
that if it had anything to do
with the bungee jump or heights,
I'd have to be the one to take it
because she would just have
an absolute mental breakdown.
"Who's ready to gorge themselves?"
I'll do it.
Femi's gonna do it.
You ready, Femi?
I am so ready.
But you're so scared.
We're kind of getting sick
of hanging out towards the back
So let's see if we can maybe push
it, maybe get a third, second place.
That was kind of the mindset we had.
Wow!
Let's do it.
Let's do it!
Thank God you have that.
Far out.
OK, you take it.
I'll take it. Let's go.
Coming so close to getting
eliminated yesterday
made us more determined to win today.
The rise of the phoenix.
We're not worthy of being
at the bottom of the pack.
So never say die.
Yep. Zombies.
Can't kill us.
Let's do it! Yeah, baby.
Let's do it.
This is a HUGE gorge
in the scheme of gorges
that I've seen in my lifetime.
When I got to look over the gorge
just a little bit before Tom
and it was unbelievable.
It was a 70m freefall drop
into just something
out of a picture book.
I actually read a story right
before we left of this exact gorge.
The buckles came undone,
the guy fell down.
You know what, Tyler?
This is you, being a bad bloke.
I'm just telling ya
Maybe he is the jealous type.
Get out there, get it done, Joe.
Joey! How are ya?
Get up there, Tommy.
Thank you.
All I could see was water and rocks
at the bottom
so I just hope the rope industry
is strong in Zimbabwe and, ah
I've heard a few stories it wasn't.
70m drop.
Jump headfirst, dive through.
Feet back together.
I knew that Tom's a bit
scared of heights
Oh!
Here we go!
My heart sunk.
Whoo-hoo!
So sick!
That's hectic!
Ooh!
Oh, that was one of the best things
I've ever done.
Tom loves this stuff, so I'm happy
he got a chance to do it
but I'm a bit jealous that I didn't.
So sick.
That was the best thing I've ever done.
It's pretty sketchy.
When I got released down,
I just let out a hysterical scream,
but it was scream of joy.
And a little bit of pain?
A little bit of pain.
Just a little bit.
- Well done. Here's your clue.
- Thank you.
Ooh.
Fast forward.
a fast forward is the
single biggest advantage of the race.
A team that successfully completes
a fast forward
can skip directly to the pit stop.
It's a high-risk,
high-reward challenge.
And until one team completes it,
this fast forward is up for grabs.
For this fast forward,
one team will have to identify
African animal dung.
What do you reckon?
I reckon we're in first, we've got a
lead, let's just do the fast forward.
Yeah.
- You right, Rod?
- I'm pumped.
- You're loving it.
- You guys all love this.
Like, I'll be shitting bricks
up there, but it's gonna be fun.
Alright.
Joey.
Come on, come here, fist pump.
You're right.
You can do it.
- Has anyone vomited on this before?
- No.
Maybe today.
Maybe today.
Will I be the first, do you reckon?
That looks so scary.
Ah, wait, where should I hold onto?
Let me just help you.
Just hold here?
Yes. Just like that.
Just easy holding.
OK. Ready?
Not really.
My heart started racing.
OK. Just take a deep breath.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Check out.
Whoa!
Go, Joey!
Oh, my God!
Viv!! You owe me so much!!
Yes!
Oh, my God! Whoo!
Whoo!
I just jumped,
didn't even think about it.
I had a pretty big breakfast, I was
hoping that I wouldn't munt it up,
but having two other teams
behind me, I just had to go.
So proud of you, Joe.
"Who gives a crap? Be the first team
to correctly identify
all the African animal dung
to earn the"
Nup.
Let's leave it.
We don't wanna risk it.
We can't risk it.
We assume Tom and Tyler
would take the fast forward.
We were hoping they would do it,
just so Sid and Ash wouldn't take it.
"Drive yourselves to Victoria Falls
Private Game Reserve
"and train with
an anti-poaching unit."
Poaching is a global epidemic,
nowhere more so than here in Africa.
Teams will travel to Victoria Falls
Private Game Reserve,
home to the big five.
Under the watchful eye
of the anti-poaching unit,
teams will have to locate items
left behind by illegal poachers.
The five items they need to find are
cigarettes, an axe,
bullets, matches and a fire pit.
Once they have all five items,
they'll receive their next clue.
And hopefully, let these guys
live a little bit longer.
Let's go. Let's go.
- I think it might have been there.
- No, there was no flag.
Just focus on driving, I'll navigate.
This is gonna be crazy, though, man,
I'm excited for you.
I'm so scared, hey.
You've done this before?
Bungee jumping, not ziplining.
Is this zipline?
This is the swing.
Swing.
How you feeling?
I got this.
It feels like it's pulling you off.
Mate, you've got this!
Whoo!
I love you, mate!
You're doing so well!
That was the best thing ever!
You slayed it!
I always so, so, so, so proud of him.
Let's just go there.
Let's go. Let's go.
We're off to Victoria Falls
Private Game Reserve.
And we need to be looking out for it.
On the side, there we go.
Ooh!
We actually made the decision
to do the fast forward.
We know if we start
the fast forward and we fail,
that could ultimately put us
to the back of the pack.
Such a big risk to take.
How are you? Morning. Tyler.
I'm Ben.
This is the identification station.
You are going to identify
the animal dung
from different types of animals.
This fast forward
is actually right up our alley
because we are fluent in talking crap.
"Very human like", the baboon.
What do your shits look like?
My shit looks a little like that.
Let's go. Three, two, one.
Go for it!
Oh, that is so sick! What the hell?
Freefalling was
the scariest moment of my life,
but the best moment of my life.
I reckon we just go with this.
OK, let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I don't know
if I can even watch.
Like, I'm like, actually shaking,
I can't.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
I don't think I was relieved
until Jerome had two feet back
on the ground.
Here we go, babe, let's do it.
What a start to the morning.
That's too many teams in front of us.
Yeah.
Let's just ride it out.
We're the fifth team behind.
Yep.
Let's do it. Let's go.
There's an arrow
Going the right way.
So we made a big mistake.
We went the wrong way.
Put us back a good half an hour.
This way.
Quick, quick, quick.
Oh, speed bump. Argh!
As the last leg
was a non-elimination,
the team that came in last
will have to complete a speed bump,
a disadvantage
in their first challenge.
For Sid and Ash, they'll both have
to complete the gorge swing.
You've done this before? No,
I've never done anything like this before.
I'm not even gonna look,
I'm just gonna run and jump.
If you can.
"Rhino, very round and dark brown
in colour."
There was a brief description
of each animal
and what their poo looked like
so we were reading
the short descriptions
and trying to align them.
I wouldn't say that's very round.
But it's dark brown.
It was actually a pretty
difficult challenge.
We didn't know how long
it was gonna take.
There were big poos, hairy poos
Do you reckon that's sort of round?
Can we just do the ones
that we know first
instead of getting caught up on?
Can we just go in order?
I struggled, Tyler struggled a lot.
"Calcium intake of the hyena." So
Why are we skipping around?
Because we don't know those two!
Well, that's gotta be hyena.
Yes! So let's just do
the ones we know!
We had an uphill battle from the start.
Read it out.
"Hippopotamus. Dark in colour
"and broken into pieces
due to flicking tails."
That's broken into pieces. That's broken
into pieces. Is it dark in colour?
And we just knew that we had
to smash it out
if we wanted to get first place again.
I wouldn't say that's dark.
Can we just go, like, in order
or something?
You're just jumping around.
Why are we skipping around?
Because we don't know those two.
Well, that's gotta be hyena.
Yes.
So let's just do the ones we know.
This Fast Forward challenge was to
identify 10 different pieces of poo
and correctly align them
with their respective animals.
Hippopotamus. Read it out.
Dark in colour.
And broken into pieces.
That's the one most broken into pieces.
It's such a big risk to take.
If we start the Fast Forward,
and we fail,
that could ultimately
put us to the back of the pack.
This could be a massive advantage to us
and take us straight to the pit stop.
We wouldn't have to do
anymore challenges.
It's either gotta be that one
or that one.
But that's not broken into pieces.
That's solid. Come on.
I personally think that's hippopotamus.
But if you want to try that.
It's that. I just think
that's not broken up at all.
Let me show you how this is broken up.
Broken. Broken.
That's not. That's so solid.
I don't know how you can say
that's more broken up than that.
I really thought that I was
going to get out of this,
but due to the speed bump we've got
to do it, both of us.
I can't even speak.
Holy
We're under pressure.
We were coming in last.
We had to get it done as quickly
as possible to catch everyone else.
This is a bit terrifying
because it's like jumping into
a rocky face of mountain.
That swing looked pretty vicious.
I was actually shitting myself.
Three, two, one, go!
Oh, my God.
Whoo! Whoo!
Oh, my God.
Let's go! We need to catch up.
Anti-poaching over here.
Alright. Let's go, Joe.
We were looking
for evidence of poaching.
It's so hard, Joe. You don't even
know what you're looking for.
It was definitely difficult.
Everything just looks
like wallpaper in the wild.
This is where our attention to
detail comes in really well, Viv.
Welcome to Victoria Falls
private game reserve.
We really appreciate
you guys coming to help us
go out there and uncover
and see all the signs left by
poachers in the area.
Our ranger said the big five
wildest animals are here.
We were like, "Is this even safe?"
Max, you're not carrying
that rifle for no reason.
He's like, "Oh, yeah, of course.
We might use it."
-Needle in a haystack sort of stuff,
isn't it? -I know.
It's so hard.
Look for things like cigarette butts
and that sort of stuff, I think.
We had never really
come across poaching in Australia.
It was just crazy to think
that there's people out there
trying to kill
these magnificent animals.
Oh, Tim. Is that a fire? Fire.
Am I going to die?
Uh, just close your eyes.
Time is now.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. I can't.
I thought this is the end.
I'm going to die.
Oh, my
Three, two, one
Oh, my God.
Whoo!
Holy shit. Oh, my God.
Onwards and upwards.
I knew we had
a bit of ground to make up.
I felt quite confident
that we could do it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
"Explore the surrounding bush
"and correctly identify evidence
of illegal poachers
"to receive your next clue.
OK.
It doesn't smell great this stuff, hey?
Probably because it's crap.
Yeah.
Oh, this is so nice.
Love getting my hands dirty.
Oh, that's fresh.
There was a few obvious poos
that we eliminated to start.
The elephant poo
was obviously the biggest.
Rhino.
Giraffe.
I've got some giraffe over here.
Hyena was a white colour,
which it said was a different colour
from the rest.
This one's an impala.
Oh
Oh, you're such a dick.
It just fell over.
You're such a dick,
that's why no-one likes you.
Shit all in my shirt, you
Oh. Can we have a check?
This could be
a massive advantage for us.
It would have taken us
straight to the pit stop.
And it would have
taken a lot of pressure off.
Some of the faeces were quite similar,
so there was a couple
that we could change around.
This is incorrect. Try again.
OK. Incorrect.
It's critical that we just take
our time to find every item
because we don't want to have
to come back and do it again.
Matches.
Oh, matches. Matches. OK.
There's an axe. Or a hatchet.
Just call it an axe.
Hatchet.
That's what it's called.
Yeah as long as
Hatchet.
Quietly. Quietly. Quietly.
Here we go. Cigarettes, axe,
bullets, fire
Matches.
Congratulations, guys.
Did they get it?
Yeah.
"Drive yourselves
to Chisuma Primary School
"and search the grounds
for the Suggestion Box."
Teams will now drive themselves
to Chisuma Primary School
where they'll find their next clue
within the school grounds.
Let's go. Let's go.
Nice. Everyone's here. Yes!
We realised there was teams
currently doing the challenge,
which was really motivating for us
because we thought we have a chance
now to overtake the other teams.
Tim and Rod are really tight
with Sid and Ash.
How did you guys go?
This is an opportunity
to use our alliance
and potentially get the answer.
Axe.
Yeah.
Matchbox.
Matchbox.
This time we thought we'd be smart.
We didn't give them all the answers.
Try those ones.
We thought we'd help them, but not
enough to beat us in this leg.
I think Tim and Rod just gave
Sid and Ash the answers, Viv.
Did they?
Yeah.
That's life.
There's no point in having
a bit of a tanty and losing it.
It's never over until it's over.
So we just had to refocus
and find this bloody thing.
Cigarettes. That was the last one.
Let's go.
Axe, the bullets
Cigarettes
Matches fire pit.
Congratulations, guys.
Yes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Congratulations, guys.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah!
"Drive yourselves
to Chisuma Primary School
"And search the grounds for the
Suggestion Box." Let's do it.
They got it.
Sid and Ash got it.
Drive. Go. Go. Go.
We're coming. We're coming.
Being neck and neck
with Nick and Femi in front of us,
Sid and Ash behind us,
it was a bit stressful.
Back in the race.
Let's get 'em.
Today was all about
showing the other teams
we can actually win this.
We're coming for you mate.
Ooh, this is tight!
As long as you go the speed limit,
they can not overtake you, bro.
Behind us right now
we've got Sid and Ash.
They've somehow caught up
despite having a speed bump.
We're definitely in now, in with
a chance to overtake these two.
Very conscious
we do have a speed limit rule
and Ash is right up my tail.
Good girl. Keep the pressure on him
'cause he'll crumble.
I'm going to speed up and overtake.
Yep. Yep.
Go, go, go, go. Flog it, flog it,
flog it, flog it. Flog it. Flog it.
What's that?
That's Sid and Ash.
What was that about?
Whoo-hoo!
I'm going to speed up.
I'm going to overtake.
Go, go, go, go.
Flog it. Flog it. Flog it. Flog it.
What's that?
Whoo-hoo!
That's Sid and Ash.
That's definitely not the speed limit.
We got instructed that we can't do that
otherwise we'd all be doing that.
Naturally me and Sid in life
do tend to break rules.
I think rules are there to be broken.
They play such a dirty game.
Yeah. So turn at the flag.
Then it's all the way straight.
I'm just really angry that Sid
and Ash overtook us and just sped off.
I mean, all other teams
have to abide by the rules
and the speed limits.
They just better be penalised for it.
We've just got to switch on, like,
far out.
Every team had already left
and we were the last team there.
What are we missing?
Oh. Oh, babe.
How could we miss that?
I actually stepped on the
ammunition. We heard the clink.
Axe, matches, fireplace,
ammunition, cigarette butts.
Congratulations, guys.
Thank you, sir.
It was such a relief. I can not
believe how much time we lost there.
Onwards and upwards.
Let's go. Let's go to school.
There's the flag, the marker.
Yes!
Search the grounds
for a suggestion box.
Hello.
Oh, right there.
Detour - Build Up or Serve Up.
A detour
is a choice between two tasks,
each with their own pros and cons.
Chisuma Primary School is desperately
underfunded with over 400 students.
Our teams will come here to make
school life that bit more fun
and choose one of two detours.
In Build Up,
teams must assemble two pieces
of equipment for the school kids.
When complete, the principal
will conduct a safety check
before handing over their next clue.
In Serve Up,
teams will cook a traditional
Zimbabwean meal for the school kids.
They'll have to follow the complex
recipe to the letter.
Once 10 kids have been served
their meals, the clue is theirs.
- Who's excited.
- Yeah!
Everyone's excited.
I reckon Build Up. Build Up?
Yes.
Let's do it. Let's do it. Come on.
Hello.
They're so cute.
My mum is a school teacher
and I was looking around
like, this is nothing like
Mum's school back home.
"You must build two playground
elements,
"a swing and a see-saw,
a see-saw and monkey bars
"or a swing and monkey bars."
- I reckon swing
- Swing and see-saw.
Right. How do we do this?
I'm guessing these go in.
I've got one, two three.
Do you know how these things work?
No. I don't know.
I've got it. I've got it.
I've got it.
It was super surprising to see
we were not actually last.
The cooking.
Yep. The cooking. For sure.
Alright. Serve Up.
If anyone's gonna take it from us,
they're gonna have to be better.
Can never beat you, brother.
Detour. Build Up or Serve Up.
Serve Up?
Yeah. Let's do Build Up.
Let's cook. Let's cook. Let's go.
Cook.
We're going to swap
the lion and the baboon.
We knew that the four
that we would be worried about
was the baboon, lion,
eland and giraffe.
So we started doing trial and error,
switching those ones around.
Check. 100% that's it.
I'm telling you.
- Correct.
- Yes.
Oh, thank you.
"Congratulations.
You have won the Fast Forward
"and may go directly to Beau at your
next pit stop in Impala village."
Let's do it.
Yes.
It was an unbelievable feeling
getting the Fast Forward.
We know our crap.
Oh, no. What was that?
Had we got that wrong we would have
been back at the back of the pack.
So we were stoked to have finished it.
That was a hawk poo.
Where did you get that?
It was an eagle.
What was that?
It was an eagle.
Come on. If we didn't just win
the Fast Forward,
I would be a bit more angry at you.
How is it, boys?
Yeah. Good, mate.
Yeah. It's going good.
Yeah. Seems pretty simple.
Swing and monkey bars.
Let's get to it.
The playground
was the best thing for us
because it gave us the opportunity
to actually build some swings
and some monkey bars
for all the children in the school.
We've got to make sure
we build something A-1.
It's going to be very
but we can do it.
Maybe that can be the base.
I thought we chose cooking.
We're cooking a meal which is kind of
like a porridgey-looking dish
and also a salsa that was made out of
kale, tomato and onion.
"Mix five scoops of mealie meal
"with enough water
to make a soupy mixture."
I'm a bit of a MasterChef at home.
OK. So, five scoops of mealie meal.
Hello. Mealie meal is not enough.
Not enough.
Oh, here we go, chopping onions.
We've got this, Joe.
We chop onions every weekend.
We both love cooking.
This challenge is right up our alley.
I cook way more regularly than Joey.
I do Sunday meal prep every week.
Joey is actually a decent cook.
He's just lazy.
Yeah. Thanks, Viv.
I never expected a cooking challenge.
Nuh.
Yeah. This is nice. I like this.
I'm never confident in this race.
Like, if you don't see teams, you
just have no idea where they are.
We've just got to keep the foot down
100%,
hope that others
might make some mistake.
Here we go. Here we go.
Let's get physical, babe.
Yeah.
We're gonna go Build Up.
Smash it out. Let's go.
Hey, kids.
We've built playground equipment
before for our little bubba.
So we knew we could finish this Detour.
When we arrived to our challenge,
Femi and Nick are there,
Tim and Rod are there.
We knew that we had a lot of work
ahead of us
if we wanted
to catch up to everyone else.
Just push it in, but that's alright.
Jasmin and Jerome arrived,
like, everyone was here.
This needs to go in here, come on.
Very, very tense moment
and very close race.
Now build that.
Build that. Build that.
Looks like we're neck and neck
with Femi and Nick.
How do you want it?
Let's pump this, brother.
Do that, so put it through that
and put one of these through.
Yes.
That's it.
I actually was looking up at the
little bolt things. I was like
"I hope I tightened them enough."
Yes!
Ooh.
Powering through. Look at this.
I think we're pretty even.
Yeah.
Ash's knife is chopping pretty quick.
Sid and Ash are right there.
They're the team we want out today
and they keep coming up.
It was a huge comeback for us.
We knew that we were closing in.
We couldn't waste any time.
It says,
"Break up the lumps as you stir
"until you have a thick paste
like a porridge."
Good?
No?
The meal that we were making
had to be a certain consistency
and we got it wrong a couple of times.
You put too much in.
It's alright.
The lumps will come out.
Too thick?
Yeah.
OK. Put a bit of water.
Yeah. We're heading to the pit stop,
trying to find the signs now.
We got the Fast Forward done.
So we're hoping
that we come in at first here.
We're having a good day today
'cause I'm on.
I'm on as well actually.
They're the famous last words.
Just having some alignment issues.
Just make sure it's in and then you
start tying them tight, bro.
Go. Go.
All good.
So, we might be edging our way
towards the front here.
Fingers crossed, old mate inspects
it and thinks we've done good.
Is that right? No.
Incorrect. Washers.
There's a problem.
OK. OK.
Jeez, this isn't going to be as easy
as we originally thought.
Our anxiety, stress and fear
went from here to, like
I don't understand.
I honestly don't know how.
We were freaking out. We've never
built anything in our lives.
Should we just take them off?
I feel like that's going to be
such a time factor.
We need to step it up.
If we can't figure out
how to build this playground,
we could be going home.
We've gotta build this equipment
for these kids.
We've never built anything
in our lives.
We had to put the pedal to the metal
and just build these things
as quick as possible.
Hopefully the cooking challenge takes
a long time.
Absolutely.
Like, this is taking a little
longer than I thought.
Do you think this was
the right detour, Ash?
At the detour, we decided to choose
the cooking challenge.
We were cooking
a porrigey-looking dish.
So we just gotta make sure
there's no lumps.
She's already told me how to do it,
Ash.
Should listen to her.
She's the cook.
That alright?
Good?
Can start serving now?
Yep. OK.
The recipe said
there shouldn't be any lumps.
I had a few concerns
but in the end, we got there.
That looks delicious.
We got there in the end. It just had
to be a big sloppy mess.
Hello.
For us today,
cooking was a clear choice.
There you go. Thank you.
We had the whole community there,
sort of supporting us
and cheering us on.
I just sort of forgot I was
on the race for a little bit.
It was just nice to take it all in,
just appreciate the community there
and just help them out.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
That was great. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
"Drive yourself to my Mpala village
"and carry water
the traditional way."
Teams will now make their way
to Mpala Village,
which is the pit stop
for this leg of the race.
The delivery of water to a village
chief is a massive sign of respect,
and that's exactly what our teams
will be doing.
Once they reach the village, teams
must deliver two containers of water
to the Head Mpala the traditional way
before they'll be checked in.
Warning, the last team to check in
may be eliminated.
- It's really hot. Be careful.
- You're welcome.
I wonder what it tastes like.
Hmm Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
It tastes pretty good.
Let's go.
Alright.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Sid and Ash
are right behind us.
Are you OK?
Yep, yep. Grab that. Grab that.
There's still cars here, Ash.
Drive back to the main road.
This way?
The other way.
No, reverse, reverse, reverse.
I'll just turn around.
There was three cars there.
There was still a red car,
which could very potentially
It could actually be Tim and Rod.
Leaving the cooking challenge,
we knew that we had Viv and Joey,
at least, ahead of us.
And we have no idea where the other
teams were at this point.
Yeah.
Yep. Judge.
I'll just call my boys to check.
Yeah.
Come on, boys.
We ended up completing the equipment
and we got the kids to run over
and jump on and give it a trial.
I think the boys just completed theirs.
The kids are just testing it out.
Thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you.
For us to be able to build
that stuff for them
was the greatest feeling ever.
"Deliver two containers of water
to the Head Mpala,
"waiting with Beau
at your next pit stop!"
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Can we get a check, please?
Congratulations, gentlemen. All good.
Beautiful.
Felt good, helping the local village.
Thank you so much.
Especially being African and being
able to have that connection,
it was really, really special for us.
Let's go.
Excuse me, sir. Can we have this one
checked, when you're ready?
OK, we checked
Yeah.
Ah, this one's OK.
Perfect.
Appreciate that. Thank you.
-Thanks for having us in your lovely
school. -Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
We leave the school in last place
but we can see Femi and Nick,
so we still had a bit of a chance.
You've got to stay positive.
You've got to keep working hard
and it's all we can do now.
With Sid and Ash behind us,
no room for errors.
Massive catch up.
They've shown that they're fierce
competitors.
So we're going to Mpala Village
to carry water to the community.
So let's keep the pace up.
This one literally is slow
and steady will win the race.
Yep.
That's gonna be really hard for me.
I know.
So just take it super slow.
Yeah.
Look out for where you're going.
-I'm just gonna go the same pace as you.
-Yeah.
We've got a lead. Do not panic.
Starting from the bottom.
Now we're here.
"Place bucket" I don't know if
I can reach the bloody bucket.
No, you're right. Lock the car?
Yep.
Oh, they're all the same? OK.
For the head?
Yeah.
Sits like that? Cool.
Then water on top. Easy.
As soon as we got
to the water challenge,
we saw Viv and Joey
filling up their waters
and we knew that we had to get
a wriggle on
to really overtake them in this.
Hey, how are we?
Good.
Oh, God, this is gonna be heavy.
Oop, you hold the thing.
I can't even reach that.
You hold this.
Hold that?
Yeah.
OK.
It's hard that we can't reach
the top, Joe.
Is that OK, Viv? Be careful.
As soon as we started
filling up our buckets,
we realised that Viv and Joey
made a mistake,
going towards the wrong direction.
OK, so homestretch, so we can push
through. You're doing well.
So we're going
to the Head Mpala.
Yeah.
OK, thank you.
Are we second?
Oh, my God.
Phew, it's literally the comeback
of the race.
Is this the right way?
I see Sid and Ash go that way, so
Hang on, Viv, let's get back
this way. Sorry.
I can't believe we come from
the back of the pack to the front.
We picked the right detour today.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
How would you feel if you
were Tim and Rod?
I know.
Giving us that clue and being behind us.
Now we're ahead of them.
I am kind of kicking myself now
for helping Sid and Ash
'cause I think
they've overtaken us now.
From this point on we've
We've just gotta run our own race.
Not help anyone else and hopefully
get as far as we can.
You doing so well, Viv.
It's bloody hard.
I know. You've got this.
Come on, Viv.
When we arrived
at the water carrying challenge,
we noticed given Viv and Joey
and by the looks of things
..they were struggling.
Slow and steady. Slow and steady.
You right?
Yep.
You're doing so good, guys.
Tim and Rod went past us
and I was just so deflated
because I just knew how hard
this challenge would be for me.
Joey, stop.
We should have attempted
the fast forward.
Imagine
Do you reckon keep going?
..living here. How different is this?
Yeah, I know.
We might be driving back to Zambia.
Wasted a lot of time
trying to find a pit stop.
That's crazy.
There's Amazing Race flags up there.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Yes! Good boy.
Well done!
No way.
It is the boys.
Welcome to the village.
I'm the village Head Mpala.
Tommy, Tyler
..you are the first team to check in.
Good boy.
Yes.
Fast forward.
We know it's a risk
so we're luck we nailed it.
Yeah.
Yeah, worked out for us.
Well, boys, incredible.
I'd say rest and recover
but you guys are recovered.
Really, really good job. Bring it in.
This one is so important
to be really, really focused.
We can't make any stupid mistakes
right now, we have to get it right.
Because some are right up our back.
Oh, what another crazy day,
babe.
It's not over yet.
We left the school
in last place
but we could see that Femi and Nick
were in the car right in front of us.
Keep pushing hard.
Yeah.
Till we get to the mat.
So at the intersection,
you're gonna turn right
when you see the two Victori
Welcome to Victoria Falls signs.
Alright?
I see "Welcome to Victoria Falls"
Was that not the road?
You just drove past it!
Oh, my
Femi, you said there was two on
either side.
There was two on either side.
We ended up going the wrong way.
Classic Femi and Nick.
You just drove past it.
How we were still in this race, don't know.
I don't know.
We missed so many turns
on a daily basis.
I think it's Jas and Jerome
that's ahead of us right now.
Hope the other teams
don't have very good balance.
Joey, I'm gonna spill it,
if you walk any faster.
No, no, I'm gonna go at your pace.
Alright.
OK.
It's OK. It's alright.
It was super heavy,
really physical challenge.
Push through, Viv.
It's a mental game.
I was feeling really down,
knowing that we would be quite slow
doing this to get to the pit stop.
You got this, Viv.
Thank you.
Don't spill it, babe.
How are you, baby?
I'm
..coming.
Carrying those buckets
was one of the hardest things
I've done this leg.
Just put my shoulders up and
it was just burning, it was crazy.
Oh, yes, I can see a flag!
See a flag. See a flag.
Big one?
Yeah, big one. Big one.
Going up to that final hill to the
village was a bit of a struggle.
We could feel the fatigue
starting in both of our arms.
Oh, my God.
However, knowing that we were
in the top pack
gave us extra energy to push through.
Yeah, they got the buckets
on their head
and it looks like it is Sid and Ash.
What a massive effort.
Welcome to this village
in Zimbabwe.
Sid and Ash
..you are the second team
to arrive.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
I think today is actually
the most fun that we've had.
It was an amazing leg for us.
It was a huge comeback.
However
..you will incur a one-hour penalty
for speeding.
Go, go, go, go. Flog it, flog it,
flog it. Flog it, flog it.
What's that? That's Sid and Ash.
You know the rules.
So take your buckets carefully
and take a seat, please.
Knew that was gonna happen.
Not happy with it, hey.
Kind of a surreal moment
because we'd had such a great
comeback during the day
and come second from last.
This can't be happening.
- We've got this, mate.
- Yep.
Just like a catwalk, mate.
Victoria's Secret baby.
Yes!
One foot in front of the next,
like we were at Fashion Week.
Strut, strut, strut.
Slow and steady, nice fierce strut.
We had it in the bag.
Thanks, mate.
Here's the newlyweds.
What a honeymoon, huh?
Little jump.
Welcome to our village in Zimbabwe.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
We were so confused
'cause Sid and Ash were sitting
on the seats next to the pit stop
and we didn't know why.
Tim and Rod, you are
..the second team to check in.
Whoo!
The second team?
How does that happen?
What?!
Number two! Number two!
Number one, we're coming for ya!
Yes! Next leg.
You're doing really well, Viv.
This is so hard.
I know, Viv. Be positive.
I know. I know, Joe.
I found it hard on myself,
so I couldn't even imagine
how much stress or pain
Viv was going through.
Hang in there. Hang in there.
I couldn't help her in any other way
but support her
and just try our best.
Oh, my God.
It just sucks knowing that she's
in pain and I just can't help her.
I know. I know. I know Viv.
Don't tippy-toe. Just let me
try to adjust it on your head.
There's so much weight.
You got it?
I'm sorry.
No. No. No. Don't be sorry.
I can't do it.
You can. You can. You can, Viv.
We're so close.
I can't do it, Joe.
You can. You can.
I can't do it.
I can't.
You can't? What do you want to do?
I was just really frustrated that,
like, I was probably the reason why
we were going to go home.
I can't do it.
You can. You can. You can, Viv.
You're so close.
I can't do it, Joe.
You can. You can. You can.
I can't do it.
I can't.
You can't? What do you want to do?
OK. Rest it. Rest it. Hang on.
Oh, my God. Hold it.
It's OK.
I was just really frustrated
that, like, I was probably the reason
why we were going to go home.
You pushed yourself more than
you ever could have, alright?
I'm so proud of you.
OK.
We're not giving up.
We're not quitters.
It's not over until we hit the mat,
we see Beau
and we drop off our buckets.
There is no way we're giving up today.
We know that Femi and Nick
are behind us,
so we're absolutely convinced
that we're second last.
Stay strong, babe. Be careful walking
down, OK?
Yep.
You really appreciate that back home
we just have a simple tap
that we can just get fresh water
from, you know,
not have to carry big bottles
of water on our heads
just to take it back to home.
So a bit of an eye opener.
Don't spill it.
Joey
Huh?
Sorry. I need to reposition.
OK.
My God, who is that?
As we were walking we saw Viv
and Joey having a break.
We just passed them
on their right.
We were so relieved
that we were just in front of them.
Just stay strong, eh?
Yeah.
I could see teams going past
and there was nothing I could do.
Watch your head.
It's a bullshit way to go out.
Don't worry about it, OK?
It's the deadly duo, Jasmin and Jerome.
Wow.
I have so much respect for the ladies.
They do this every day.
Welcome to our village in Zimbabwe.
Thank you so much, sir.
Jasmin, Jerome, you are
..third team to check in.
No way. Wow.
We were shocked.
Like, we weren't sure what actually
happened for us to finish third.
At one point
we thought we were dead last,
so to still be here we're just
super blessed and relieved.
Sitting there and watching
the other teams come in
was obviously a bit devastating for us.
We'd raced so hard today and we felt
like we deserved that second place.
Come on, Nick. Almost there, bro.
Almost there.
Let's go. Come on.
A few more steps, buddy.
Is that the boys, Joe?
Viv, don't worry about them.
I saw Femi and Nick go past us
and they were just powering along.
This is so shit, like, this is how
we go out.
It's fine, Viv. Viv, it's alright.
Who do you reckon is going to?
15 minutes?
10, 15, yeah.
Come on, Femi, we're almost there.
Femi, Nick
..you are
..the fourth team to check in.
What? What?
The only hope that we had
was that Viv and Joey were really
struggling with this challenge
because of their size.
We need the wind to pick up, hey?
- So close, Viv. Are you OK?
- No.
Oh, Joey.
Watch your step.
OK.
You see it right there?
Yep. Yep. Yep.
It's just there, yeah?
I think they think they're last,
too, so maybe they've just given up.
Joey. Stop, stop, stop.
Stop? OK.
Sorry, Joe.
Don't be sorry.
There's nothing to be sorry about, Viv.
Just really grateful to have
Joey here. He was so supportive.
We're so close, right?
Mm-hm.
She's given it 500%
I'm super proud of her.
There's nothing else
that you could have done.
Got it?
Yeah.
OK. Nice and slow.
Ash and I kept hoping for time to
pass a little faster, but it wasn't.
Not good.
Not good.
How do you feel, Ash?
Like I might be going home.
I'm so proud of you, Viv.
Wow. Look at this, chief. Oh, my God.
Gently put your buckets
Gently put your buckets here, guys.
Welcome to our village in Zimbabwe.
Thank you, so much. Thank you, sir.
How are you guys feeling?
Like, of all things on the race,
this was the hardest one.
I'm so proud of her.
It doesn't matter what happens now,
like, we made it to the mat,
went the whole way.
I wouldn't have done this race
with anyone else
and, seriously, she exceeded
all expectations today.
She pushed through.
I'm so proud of her.
He was really supportive.
Like, any time I needed to stop
he'd stop, so
Viv, Joey
..you're the fifth team to check in.
What?
Are we still in the Race?
You guys are still in.
This race has been really hard.
Well done.
Leg 8 has been the hardest leg
for us
but I'd say
it's also been our favourite.
That bucket, man.
It's bigger than you.
I know. Bloody hell.
We challenged ourselves both
mentally and physically today
and this is going to be a leg
that we're never going to forget.
Alright. Are you ready to go home?
Shh.
Sid and Ash,
please return to the mat, guys.
Sid, Ash
..you are the last team to check in.
And you are eliminated.
You will not continue racing.
It's time to go.
It was good until the last leg.
We got to experience some amazing
places all around the world.
No. No. They're nuns.
I'm going to hell after this.
I think we're leaving the Race
stronger than ever.
And we managed to go a month
without checking our Instagrams
so that's not bad at all.
Eliminated.
Spewing.
Next time on The Amazing Race
Australia,
as the final five hit Malawi
Welcome to Africa.
Oh, wow.
..all bets are off.
You must vote a team to U-turn.
Ooh.
That's a shocker.
But against the odds
Anything can happen in this race.
We're not going home.
We need an insane miracle.
..which team will pull off
We just smashed through it.
..the biggest comeback
Jasmin and Jerome finished.
..in amazing Race history.
Jerome would do this
with this eyes shut.
If they're not thinking twice about
us, definitely should be.
They're right on us.
I can see them, Jasmin.
