You Can't Drive While You're Crying
1
PHIL KEOGHAN: On an all-new
season ofThe Amazing Race
Let's go, baby!
13 dynamic teams of two
DANNY:
We are absolutely
gonna be
the first mother-son duo
to win The Amazing Race.
-Good job!
-I'm proud of you.
KARISHMA:
I love being underestimated.
I think when people see
that I'm, like,
this four, 11 girl,
they're like,
"That girl's weak."
Have you jumped out
of a plane 81 times?
LETICIA:
He's the best teammate
-that I've ever had
in my life
-I appreciate that, babe.
which is why I made you
my husband, so, lucky you.
I appreciate it.
[whooping]
BIZZY:
My goal is to prove two women
can get anything accomplished.
JUAN:
You're almost there, buddy.
You're almost there.
Finish it up.
The money's icing on the cake.
It's going to be
about the experience first.
We're gonna come out winners,
even if we don't come out
with a million-dollar check,
uh, which is unlikely.
KEOGHAN:
will embark
-on a breathtaking
-Wow.
thrilling
Whoo! It's going so fast!
unpredictable journey.
Ready to go.
KEOGHAN:
A life-changing adventure
that will test their physical
-Oh, I'm bleeding.
-Oh, my God!
and mental fortitude
-Nah, I ain't doing that.
-Babe, please don't quit.
The world is bigger than you.
like never before.
Aah!
KEOGHAN:
Only the best will get a shot
at racing to the finish line
for $1 million.
Let's go hard
and race around the world!
KEOGHAN:
It all begins here
in Puerto Vallarta.
Travel publications
have called it
the friendliest city
in the world,
the number one
culinary destination in Mexico,
and rated the beaches here
among the best in the world.
-[whooping]
-Let's go!
[whooping continues]
-Welcome to Mexico.
-[cheering, whooping]
Yes, good to see you all.
Look at those beautiful faces.
What a dynamic group
of people that we have here,
and it is going
to be competitive.
Just tell us a little bit
about yourselves.
-[laughter]
-We'll jump right in.
-I'll go.
-Hello. Come on.
-So, my name is Sean.
This is my wife,
my life, Michelle.
-CONTESTANTS: Aw.
-I'm Michelle Clark.
-And we're the owners
of Double Dutch Aerobics.
-Yes.
And my wife
my wife is a what?
-World champion in double Dutch.
-Ooh!
And I'm a master DDA instructor,
and all that means
is that we can teach
-anybody in the world.
-Anybody how
to jump double Dutch.
-Including you, Phil.
-Yes.
I do hope we get to do
a little jumping at the mat.
-Oh.
-Yes, we will.
We are 25-year-old
identical twins.
We live in Clearwater, Florida.
And we're, like, all-around
beach boys, so starting off
at the beach feels
pretty fitting for us.
-We're in our element here.
-[laughter]
My dad has been raising me
as a single dad
since I was ten years old,
and he's my teammate for life.
So I wouldn't want
to do this with anybody else.
We live
in a one-bedroom apartment,
so we're just excited to see
the world together, and
-We're just happy
to be outside right now.
-Yes.
We're both certified registered
nurse anesthetists.
What does that even mean?
That means that you can
put out your competition,
and they wake up
at the finish line.
-Exactly.
-Within seconds.
We've been traveling
anesthesia providers,
traveling all over the country,
providing anesthesia.
Juan and I met
in pilot training.
Since then, we've been pretty
much as inseparable as it gets
by living on different sides
of the country.
Happy to be here and share this
with my best friend
and be able to make our wives
back home proud
-and my little one.
-Oh, man.
-It's a dream
that we couldn't even fathom.
-Aw.
We've been dating
for three years.
We live
in San Diego, California.
I cannot believe
we're in Mexico.
My family's from Mexico,
emigrated from Mexico,
and I'm first-generation
Mexican-American.
And I am just so
just ecstatic to be here.
We're both, um, students
and summer camp
aquatics directors.
-We've been fans
for such a long time.
-Forever.
We watched Tammy and Victor
and Nick and Starr win
all those years ago.
Did you have to say that?
-[laughter]
-But it's our turn now.
We're so excited to be here.
[applause]
We are so excited
to have you all here.
We know
it's gonna be competitive.
And just like last season,
no non-elimination legs
on this race.
[groaning, gasping]
DEREK:
You don't have that crutch there
in case you make a mistake.
And that means you have to be
on your game all the time.
On your game,
all the time, every leg.
Last season,
we went to a country
that we had never
been to before.
Well, this season,
there are two new countries
-that we have never
been to before.
-[applause and cheering]
Your first clue is on the car
which is parked
out in the parking lot
on the other side of the hotel.
Okay,
let's get those backpacks on.
Let's buckle up.
Is everybody ready to race?
-ALL: Yeah!
-All right.
The world is waiting for you.
Good luck. Travel safe.
-Go!
-Let's go, baby!
-Let's go.
-Oh, my goodness!
-This way, this way.
-Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
-Oh, yes, we can.
-Come on, let's go.
-Come on.
I'm right behind you. Keep
going. Don't stop. Don't stop.
-[panting]
-Keep pushing.
ANTHONY:
Bailey, come on.
Bailey, come on. Bailey!
DANNY:
Mom, we don't have to go fast.
You're doing great.
MARY:
Go to the left, left.
-Oh, I'm slipping.
-Are you okay?
Just take your time.
Shane, parking lot,
directly in front.
I see it, Juan.
Juan, right there.
CESAR:
Go, Ricky. Go.
-Go all the way up there.
-SHANE: All right.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Route Info.
BOTH:
"Welcome to
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico."
"Drive yourselves
to downtown Puerto Vallarta."
"And find the Voladores along
the Malecón for your next clue."
Let's go, baby!
-Let's find our car, babe.
-Taxis, taxis.
He said across the street.
-[panting]: Sorry.
-No. No, don't apologize.
-ROD: No map?
-LETICIA: There's no map.
No map, but we here, baby,
The Amazing Race.
We here. We ready to race.
♪
♪
ANGIE:
I can't believe it. We're on
ANGIE AND DANNY:
The Amazing Race.
-No way.
-My hands are shaking.
Whoo! Okay.
DANNY: All right, we're going
to "find the Voladores
along the Malecón
for your next clue."
[flute and drum
playing upbeat tune]
KEOGHAN:
These brave high flyers
are known as birdmen,
or Voladores,
who take part in an ancient
Mexican ritual
appealing to the gods
to bring rain
for a good harvest.
This is where
teams will make
their first big decision
on theirAmazing Race.
CESAR: Puerto Vallarta brings
amazing memories because,
after nine months of dating,
we became boyfriends here.
RICKY: Cesar and I have been
dating for about four years.
I'm a super fan
of The Amazing Race,
and it's a dream
being here with Ricky.
RICKY:
I thinkThe Amazing Race
is my chance to show him
that no matter what,
I'm gonna be there.
This is
our dream now, not just yours.
-Mm.
-[laughs]
What a coincidence.
We're here, like
-We're here. I know you
-It's happening. It's happening.
And it's The Amazing Race.
ANTHONY: We're actually
looking for the "Vala-doray,"
"Voladores."
I wish I didn't
fail Spanish twice now.
[laughs]
KARISHMA:
So I'm actually half Mexican.
My father is Mexican.
-But I am sadly monolingual.
-[laughs]
KISHORI:
We're cousins,
but I really consider
Karishma my little sister.
I actually lived with
her family for about six months.
We had the sisterly
bonding experience.
I think that's what makes
our relationship so awesome.
I was 17 when my parents died.
Losing my father
to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and
losing my mom to breast cancer
-was very hard.
-KISHORI: I know her parents
are gonna be there in spirit
-with us on the race,
cheering us on.
-Yeah.
-We're gonna do this for them.
-Yeah.
MICHELLE:
We've just started the race.
I'm sweating like an animal.
I should exercise
maybe a little more.
You know I run, and it felt like
-I never ran a day in my life.
Isn't that messed up?
-I know.
VINNY:
Uh, my Spanish is decent.
I minored in Spanish in college.
I don't have any other language
other than Southern.
DANNY: As a little kid,
I've been dreaming
ofThe Amazing Race.
And I told my friends I was
gonna be on The Amazing Race
when I was, like, 13,
and I told people
that I was gonna get to do it
-with my mom.
-Yeah.
And so, I'm really honored
and really blessed.
I just want to watch him enjoy.
I mean, every mom just wants
to watch their child
live their dream.
I'm watching mine.
And you can't drive
when you're crying.
This is definitely
I was a really sick kid.
Um, I had to be homeschooled
'cause I was literally allergic
to the walls of my school,
couldn't run
across a playground
without having an asthma attack.
ANGIE:
He has some challenges, yup.
DANNY:
So to be able to embark
on a race around the world
and to be able to do that
with someone
who's an absolute hero to you--
it means more
than a million dollars.
ROHAN: I don't know 100%
where we are right now
in the race. A lot of the teams
just took off from the start,
so it's unclear if they're
stopping to ask for directions.
This is definitely
an experience.
ROHAN:
We've always been super fans
ofThe Amazing Race.
In high school,
I took French, she took Spanish.
MAYA:
We had to make sure we
took different languages because
he wanted to prepare for
the moment we were on the race.
I can't imagine running the race
with anybody
other than Rohan.
We are extremely close.
He's my ride-or-die in my life.
We want to look out
for one another,
and it just further establishes
the trust that we have
in each other.
It's very different driving
in a different country,
so I'm hoping that I can
get the hang of this soon.
-MARY: This is fun.
-CHRIS: Took me a little bit
to catch my breath, but I think
I'm back in the game.
-We love stress. We love stress.
[laughing]
Oh, my dad honestly thrives
on stress.
I sure thrive on it.
I do my best work under stress.
SHANE:
We're trying to find
the Malecón, and then, uh,
we can rejoice once we land
on the mat in first place.
-It's always about
coming in first.
-It's coming in first.
-That's it.
-If you're not
trying to be the best
at everything you do,
you're not trying hard enough.
I'm an active duty
Air Force tanker pilot.
SHANE:
And I am a temp pilot
in the Air National Guard.
Shane and I met
at pilot training.
SHANE:
It's extremely strenuous,
and you really need to lock on
to someone,
and that someone was Juan.
At the end of any bad day
or good day, we were together.
We laughed together,
we cried together.
So that's what
makes us so tight.
I think we just got off
the highway, though, 'cause
I think, the whole time,
that was the highway.
We were supposed
to go that way?
JUAN:
Even speaking Spanish,
it's still kind of difficult,
because, like,
it's a relatively busy city that
you're not used to being in,
and just,
everything looks different.
DEREK:
Well, we are in Puerto Vallarta.
SHELISA:
Oh, we are in Puerto Vallarta.
-Look for streets.
-I am!
Don't yell.
Just look for streets.
Well, hell, I can't see 'em.
Why don't you turn this way?
'Cause you said
to get off of the
-No, I didn't!
-You said, I You said
-No! 'Cause that's the avenue.
-[mocking]: No!
-See the sign.
-Okay, we got two signs here.
[laughing]:
Shut up.
[mocking]:
No!
[flute playing,
rhythmic drumming]
CESAR:
Allende.This is it.
-Allende?
-Yeah, yeah. Turn left.
Left, left.
Wait, wait, wait. Behind.
I-I cannot
Come on, come on, come on.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
RICKY:
I'm gonna park on the right.
CESAR:
Yeah, along the yellow curb.
Voladores? Straight ahead?
Okay, he said straight ahead.
Come on, Ricky. Come on.
Go, go, go, go, go!
Let's go, right here,
straight ahead.
[sing-songy]:
Lots of cards!
[sighs]
"Detour. Pick 'em up"
BOTH:
"Or pin them down."
This is the Malecón,
a 15-block promenade
that is perhaps the most
popular place to walk in town,
and the best place
to see local artwork,
including these rocking horses,
which are scattered
up and down the boardwalk.
Teams need
to pick up two of them
from storage
high on this hill
and transport them down
the narrow, cobblestone streets
to the Malecón.
Once their horses
have a happy young rider,
they'll get their next clue.
[grunting]
Lucha Libre,
second only to soccer
as Mexico's most popular
spectator sport.
Fans of this freestyle
wrestling argue
that it's faster,
more flamboyant,
has more brawls, more mass,
and more high-flying action
-[grunting]
-[cheering]
than any other form
of professional wrestling.
After watching 40 seconds
of this battle royale
and relying
only on their memory,
teams need to match five pairs
of these luchadores
based on who's fighting whom
in all the mayhem.
-Okay, so a memory
or a physical?
-Okay.
RICKY:
In our previous trip here,
those rocking horses were out,
so we knew
that they were gonna be big.
-"Pin them down."
-"Pin them down."
-Come on.
-Okay, let's figure out
where we going.
I think we should do
the wrestling match.
-Let's do "transport
two rocking horses." Okay.
-Okay.
So we're gonna find,
uh, Calle Corona
at 408, which should be
three blocks, hopefully.
Oh. What the hell is going on?
-Derek?!
-What?
My bag opened!
-What's unzipped?
-[sighs]
You done bust your zipper.
Shelisa and I have been married
for 34 years.
When it comes down to it,
she's my best friend.
-Aw.
-And we'll get along,
and we'll work out fine.
I'm recently retired
as the chief of police
for Ontario Police Department.
I was
at the sheriff's department.
I was actually the first
African-American
female lieutenant
in the history
of the department,
so I was really, um,
proud of myself.
-I was proud of you, as well.
-Thanks.
-You have the clue?
-You good with dumping these?
Yeah, dumping those.
Not working out.
Calle Corona.
What address is this?
It's 200 this way. 362.
I told you
to go back this way.
Okay. All right,
all right, all right.
Baby, we out here. Let's go.
I chose the wrestling match
'cause I'm stable,
I can sit down, pay attention.
Even though
I don't have the best memory--
hers is better than mine-- but
I think that's the best choice.
I think that's the best choice.
Since we don't know
exactly where we're going.
I am a former NFL player.
Got drafted in the first round
to Washington.
-Go, Commanders.
-Yeah. Yeah.
And how it translates
into The Amazing Race,I think,
in pressure situations--
that's where I'm at my best.
LETICIA:
We're going on nine years
married.
Rod doesn't like
to lose anything.
He's an athlete, I'm not.
But I come
from very humble beginnings.
I've been a fighter
my whole life.
So I'm not quitting,
and neither is he.
Let's go, baby.
There's too many clues in there.
They ain't got here yet.
I definitely made
a wrong turn somewhere.
ROHAN:
Oh, you want to ask these people
right here, there.
Um, I can't stop right here.
Maya, we can't keep driving
in this direction.
Okay. I'm trying to figure out
what to do right now, Rohan.
Straight, right, left?
Where do you want me to go?
ROHAN:
Um
we're definitely not
in the right area.
We are very, very lost, Rohan.
-ROHAN: Yeah.
-MAYA: I hate this.
Hopefully, there's a team
that just as lost as
-MAYA: Us.
-we are right now.
We didn't have a map.
We prepared
for weeks and weeks and weeks.
We'd go places with maps.
MAYA:
We definitely could have gone
to buy one, but it was just
thinking about how much time
we could have potentially lost.
It's definitely
a little bit nerve-racking.
But as we've seen
watching the race,
anything can still happen.
So, I'm staying optimistic.
Oh, hey, there's a team
right there. Okay.
-Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-All right.
Got some motion.
Are these
the answering stations?
These are
the answering stations.
-These are fine.
-Okay. Oh, my God.
RICKY:
Have to be ringside.
CESAR:
Ringside. Okay.
-Vamos.
-[indistinct shouting]
-[whooping]
-[men yelling]
Out of nowhere, all of these
luchadores jump into the ring.
RICKY:
Yeah, like, 30 guys just,
like, come rushing the ring.
[shouts]
RICKY:
It was very chaotic.
CESAR:
Oh, my God. Oh, my goodness.
-RICKY: That's it.
-CESAR: Okay.
RICKY:
Madness.
-So, versus, versus,
left and right.
-Go, go, go. Yes.
-Okay, this blue guy
was wrestling yellow.
-Okay.
-I think yellow. Cool.
-Wait, wait, wait.
-Just
-Wait, wait, wait.
I need a skull.
-Like, a little skull on top.
-Skull.
-Give me that.
-What are-what are
-You have those set?
-I have these two for sure.
LETICIA:
Oh, shoot. They already started.
-Lightning and blue?
-I didn't see this one.
CESAR:
Oh, my God.
MELISSA:
"Climb the Voladores."
Oh, that's them? Voladores?
It is, just as you thought.
-YVONNE: Clue box. Clue box.
-Where?
Down here.
-Oh, here you go.
-Oh, Detour.
-We're picking, "Pick 'em up."
-"Pick 'em up."
-You can take this right.
-This looks like some colors.
Yeah, let's park here.
Let's park here.
All right, let's go.
Oh, this is it, bro, right here.
Dude, we just stumbled up
on this one.
-Is this it?
-Clue?
-Clue?
-Hmm.
-This might be them, bro.
-Oh, here, here. Down here.
Look at these guys, bro.
-Yeah, yeah, right here.
-There's a clue. [whoops]
Let's go.
-How's it going? What's up?
-Oh. You got the clue?
-Nice to meet you.
-Oh!
Do we get to climb up?
Oh, I don't think
we have to, bro.
Yeah, I think we do.
We're chill dudes,
but we also know
when it's time
to step up and compete.
Doing the race together
as a team
is so important to us
just because
we grew up with people
pitting us against each other.
You know, who's better at this,
who got the hotter girls,
who's faster,
who makes more money.
Everything was a competition, so
it made us kind of
resent each other in an aspect.
So I think to come together
and just working together
as a team
is long overdue for us.
We don't have to prove
to each other,
you know, who's better,
'cause we're better together.
You were about
to free-climb that.
Just, who has a clue, then?
-Oh. Oh, all right.
-It's right here, dude.
-Oh.
-[laughs] Yeah.
I for sure thought we were
climbing that pole, dude.
All right.
So we're gonna do the horses.
AMBER:
We need to be looking for
-Oh, there's another team.
-Yes, come on. Boardwalk.
-Where's the boardwalk?
-MARY: Yes, that's where
we're heading.
CHRIS:
We're headed down
to the boardwalk.
-So, Malecón-- I'm guessing
it's near the water.
-I believe so.
Grab it.
MARY:
Come on, it's the clue box!
The Voladores. Oh, look at it!
That's awesome!
-SEAN: Oh, there it is
right there.
Let's go!
-We're going Walla Walla!
-First and second!
-Walla Walla!
-Walla Walla, first and second.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
Quick! Keys in the car!
Keys in the car!
Keys in the car!
Child, I can't with you.
Lock the car!
-Which one's our car?!
-That one up there!
-Kishori
-Oh, my God.
Lock the car.
SEAN:
Oh, snap. There it is.
We're gonna do "Pick 'em up."
-"Pick 'em up."
-"Pick 'em up"?
"Only seven teams may compete
in each Detour.
First come, first serve."
Yes! Oh, my God.
Yes, Karishma, found it.
"Pick 'em up." We're gonna
choose "Pick 'em up."
-We're gonna do "Pin 'em down."
-"Pin 'em down." We're good.
-We have a good memory.
-We have a good memory.
And we love wrestlers!
"Pick 'em up."
The physical challenge,
you know it for sure.
You just have to ask
for some directions.
-ANGIE: Let's ask.
-English?
-Calle Corona.
-Calle Corona?
Sí.
Uno, dos, trés, cuatro bloques.
-[speaking Spanish]
-Muchasgracias.
MARY:
"One large
and one small rocking horse."
There's still teams back there.
You can take a breather.
I just got to walk fast
instead of running for a second.
No worries. You got this.
Enjoy the beautiful Mexican sun.
This is amazing.
I've always been a Daddy's girl.
I'm 26 years old and I still
live at home, so I think
that tells something
about our relationship
and how close we are.
My mom passed away from cancer
when I was ten years old.
I don't think that I could
have been the person
that I am today
without his support.
I've had to take on both roles
a little bit.
I never can replace her mother,
but I've done
what I can do
to try to make Mary thrive,
and she really is
my best, best friend.
Come on! [laughs]
That's not Calle Corona.
One more.
Let's do one more.
-Gracias. Calle
-Corona?
-Calle 408
-Calle Corona?
-Corona. Get the clue out,
baby, so she can see it.
-Okay.
VINNY:
We've been dating for
AMBER:
A little over four years.
We actually met
in nurse anesthesia school.
We're, like,
in the cadaver lab,
and he's, like,
trying to talk to me.
We've talked about engagement,
getting married,
and, hopefully,
if we win the million dollars,
that would be even better.
[laughs]
VINNY:
I'm very outgoing.
She's the thinker,
-and I'm the doer.
-Yeah.
-Let's count how many blocks.
-One.
This is gonna be our first one.
One, two, three, four.
Gracias, señora.
-Babe, you with me?
-Yeah.
I'm trying.
CESAR:
Those two.
-Blue mask.
-I think we might have it.
CESAR:
Come on, come on, come on.
-Ref, check?
-Check?
CESAR:
Oh, my God. The tension.
What you got, ref?
-No, no, no!
-CESAR: Okay.
Hey, can we get it going?
-[mutters]
-No, no, no, not the top one,
the bottom.
-CESAR: I don't know
what you're talking about.
-Your middle
No. He had, like, a wart here,
so I saw that.
Like, I got on his size.
[Rod grunting]
[men grunting]
Yeah! Let's go. [laughs]
-[whistle blowing]
-Here, here. Just stay back.
-[shouting]
-Yeah!
ROD:
Oh, there's a bunch
of y'all here at one time.
I see the I like the red.
ROD:
When all the guys got
in the ring and started
battling it out,
I was so lost.
I didn't know
what mask to look at.
LETICIA:
I wasn't expecting,
like, 50 guys
to run out there,
so I feel like,
-find out what's happening.
Like, just take that in.
-Yeah, but
-Baby, baby?
-LETICIA: Somebody with a skull
on his head.
-Oh, my God.
What is happening right now?
-[whistle blows]
-Come on. Come on, Ricky.
-One, two, three. Babe?
ROD:
It was Lucha versus Giganteze.
-For sure.
There's, like the two
-Blue and green.
White and blue.
I remember.
Lightning and gold
I don't think was right.
-Okay. Is there a blue of these?
-I saw him.
-Yeah, I saw him
fight somebody in the blue.
-So now we just
-Let's get it right.
-Let's get it right.
We cannot wait
another five minutes.
He fought somebody in blue, but
I don't think it was this one.
He fought somebody,
looked like a cat woman.
-231?
-Yeah, this is northside.
This works.
We got to go this way.
-Corona. Calle Corona.
-SHELISA: Oh, good job.
-DEREK: I see 'em. Come on.
-Good job.
Come on. There's a lot
of them here. We're good.
-Look how many are here.
-Whew!
Oh, it's gonna be hard because
it's on cobblestones, so
-Well, well, get on
-Geez!
DEREK:
There was a smaller horse
and a larger horse,
and it's my
-I took the smaller horse.
-Of course she did.
DEREK:
All right, all right,
hold on to the head.
SHELISA:
The cobblestones made it
very difficult to maneuver.
[both whooping]
SHELISA:
And going downhill,
and they weren't
the lightest horses.
[horn honking]
DEREK: I didn't think
about the cobblestones.
I know
there's a better strategy here.
[laughing]
YVONNE:
Are we having fun yet?
[grunts]
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
The streets are too rocky.
-That's not gonna work.
-Um
Pulling is easier.
YVONNE:
We met three years ago
through a meetup group called
BOTH:
"Girls Who Like Girls
Who Like to Hike."
MELISSA:
We do not currently
live together.
YVONNE: We're going a little bit
backwards, I'd say.
We're thinking
about a family already.
MELISSA:
We don't follow
the same sort of timelines
that a lot of other people do,
and it sort of confuses
our friends and family.
We're both fiercely independent.
Careful. There's some holes!
Careful! Careful!
Streets just keep
getting worse and worse.
CESAR:
Are you confident?
Lightning and blue.
Lightning and blue.
-I'm confident.
-Okay, should we go?
-Check, please.
-Check, please.
ROD:
Check, check.
CESAR:
We've got it. We've got it.
-No, no, no!
-RICKY: Focus.
I don't want
to do this again.
Okay. Me neither.
Just say "amazing"
from the get-go
and let us get out of here.
-No, no.
-No, no, no?
-The pink team just came.
-CESAR: Let's get it right
on this one, Ricky.
We need to be the next ones out.
-We're not looking, we're not
-Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
We're not looking, I promise.
-SUNNY: We're gonna pick 'em up.
-BIZZY: Being firefighters,
we're strong
and we've got skills.
Okay, so it says I can park
along the side of the road,
but obviously,
it's all freaking taken up.
Okay, it's not fair, but
we need to get up road,
up the street.
How do we get up there, bro?
-Shoot.
-We have to find a parking spot.
Yeah.
ROHAN:
We still don't know where
we're going, which it's
MAYA:
A little nerve-racking.
ROHAN:
Maya, would you feel
more comfortable if I drove?
You have to help me try
to figure out where we're going.
-Okay?
-Yeah, I got you.
ROHAN:
We're back on a main road.
MAYA:
That's the win of the moment.
ROHAN:
Maya, we're never out of it
until we get there.
I'm sure there's a team
that struggled with directions,
maybe not to our extent,
but you know
that once we get to a task,
we can make up some time.
Yeah, we're gonna be okay.
We are.
We're looking for, "Make
your foot to Calle Corona 408."
This is Calle Juarez.
This is Juarez.
We're looking for Corona.
It's a seven-person limit,
seven-team limit.
Hopefully, we get there
before everybody else does
and we're not wasting our time.
This is not right.
This is not right.
SHELISA:
Grab it by the handle.
It's easier this way.
We have to make sure
there's no stairs.
DEREK:
Let's go 'cause we can just
we can always just
-SHELISA:
Go down the next street.
-Yeah.
AMBER:
Right. We should have
done more stairs.
Holy
VINNY:
Come on, Come on.
AMBER:
My legs.
Babe, it's a
a marathon, not a sprint.
-Okay?
-There's some horses up here.
BAILEY:
Uh
All right, let's take this.
This one's not fun.
-VINNY: We got to go down.
-Yeah.
Yeah, when do y'all want
to go down?
-Let's go down this hill.
-ANTHONY: Let's do it?
ANTHONY:
Trying to bring
those horses down the hill--
I mean, we tried
a few different techniques.
We didn't know if we wanted
to push or pull.
-It all sucked, though.
-Yeah.
-[groans]
-Hills are not your friend.
Oh
AMBER:
The wheels were, like
VINNY: Get jammed
into the cobblestones.
AMBER: Yeah, get jammed
into the cobblestones.
VINNY:
And then the horse is rocking
to the left and then
to the right,
and you're like,
"What is going on here?"
-You're going too fast. It's
-VINNY: I got the weight.
-It's steep.
-You control it.
I got the weight. Oh.
Wow.
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ow, ow, ow!
-What happened?
-Uh, my finger.
-You okay?
-Yeah. You pinched it.
Can you
can you just get away?
Okay.

whistle blowing]
KISHORI:
Okay, memorize the masks
and their bodysuits.

They got theirs.

REFEREE: No!

these horses would be small,
but they're ginormous.
Mom, I'm coming!
-No, no, no, no, no, no.
-Can I help?
[horse neighs]
This is the road, you're saying?
-SHANE: Yes. Yes! Yes!
-JUAN: Yes!
JUAN:
We are one of the last ones.
Getting to our first clue box,
there's only two clues in there.
And at that point,
I said, "We're in trouble."
We screwed up.
Dude, we're done.
-Want to do "Pick 'em up"?
-All right.
-We're gonna do "Pick 'em up."
-We're gonna do "Pick 'em up."
SHELISA: Boy, is it hot! Whew!
DEREK:
We're sweaty, exhausting.
SHELISA:
Oh, it was a scorcher.
Okay.
Slow and easy.
Oh, lookit. Lookit, Mar.
Lookit.
Are there more horses up there?
-Yup.
-Okay, thanks.
-[whoops] You got it, guys.
-[whooping]
-Are there more horses?
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Awesome! Thank you.
-CHRIS: Oh, my God.
-MARY: Just slow and steady.
-We don't have to run.
-It's not here?
Uh, there's another team.
-Fancy seeing you here.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-Y'all are doing great.
-More horses up there?
Yeah, there were two pairs
of them left.
-There's still two more left.
-Thank you.
-There. There's horses.
-Horses!
MICHELLE:
We got to the horses.
-SEAN: And there was only
-MICHELLE: Two left.
-MELISSA: We picked a hard one.
-SEAN: 'Cause a team came right
-behind us, so it was really
-MICHELLE: Right behind us.
So, that was, like, scary.
-Ready?
-Yeah.
BIZZY:
We got there, and Double Dutch
is neck-and-neck with us.
And we're the last team
to grab horses.
MICHELLE:
Sean, let's go. Let's go.
SUNNY:
Here we go. Here we go.
Got it, got it, got it.
KARISHMA:
Skull diamond.
-Dead
-Yes. This one's fighting
this one.
-We got it.
-Correct. And we got it. Check?
-KARISHMA: Check.
-Can we check?
KARISHMA:
We wrestling. We wrestling.
We got this. We got it.
Yes! We got this. [whoops]
MARY:
I'm hoping there's a horse.
-MARY: 408.
Where are the damn horses?
Please have some horses!
-Damn it. My Lord.
-CHRIS: Aah.
I don't see any horses.
[Chris pants loudly]
MARY: All the rocking horses
had been taken,
and that was a little defeating.
All right, so let's go
to Parque Hidalgo.
We are going
to switch Detours
and do "Pin 'em Down."
CHRIS:
It was disappointing
not finding the horses,
but we have a motto in our life,
and it's that, you know,
we've been through worse.
Little tired, a little hot,
little frustrated, but we are
-We're not gonna give.
-We never give up,
-and we have not given up.
-Till we step on that mat.
We are just gonna
try to do the next challenge.
MARY:
I'm gonna get to Hidalgo
and then ask for the park.
-JUAN: This is Corona Street.
-SHANE: Yeah.
-Now we're looking for 480.
-408. 408. Sorry.
-408. 408.
Look, it's the military guys.
Have you guys done
your Detour yet?
-BOTH: We're doing it right now.
-Where you going?
-To Corona Street, 408.
-Yeah.
-No horses.
-No horses?
-No horses left?
-So we got to do the other one.
-All right.
Yeah, so looking
for Parque Hidalgo.
-You want to stick together?
-Yeah, sure.
-Is that the other Detour?
-Lot of teams ahead of us, yeah.
-CHRIS: Yeah.
-Okay.
CHRIS: We should not have
told them that.
MARY: Well, I think
we need some help right now.
We got to ask for help.
-Before trying to get
-[Juan speaks Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
The other team
just went that way.
[speaking Spanish]
Okay. Gracias.
I probably shouldn't
have said anything,
but I'm probably too nice
sometimes for my own good.
-Yeah.
-But right now,
I see the other team over there,
and we're going this way, so we
got to step it up a little bit.
SHANE: Let's start
heading this way, man.
-Yes. Yes.
That team just went that way.
Dude, it's down here, bro.
It's down here.
JUAN: I don't I mean,
I wish them the best,
but I hope
they went the wrong direction,
-and gave us an edge.
-I think they did.
-Being his friend.
-Feeling a little bit better
in this dire situation
to at least, uh,
have them behind us, and
I don't know where they went.
-MARY: Not my problem. [laughs]
-[Chris laughs]
SEAN: Don't We have this.
-[yells]
-Uh. Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.
-I control you, horse!
You don't control me!
-I got it.
So definitely a workout.
Usually, I have a crew.
We met in 2014
at the Fire Academy.
1,800 people applied
for 16 positions,
and there was only three women.
Being a mother of three girls,
I think
it's important to show them
what two women can do together,
and that's my goal.
SUNNY:
We'll be able
to look back years after this,
and have our kids see this and
just think how proud they are.
I'm feeling this the most
in my forearms,
and my grip is so loose
'cause I'm sweating.
We're not giving up, though.
We're not giving up.
SHELISA:
It's okay. Let's cross, Derek.
Up!
No cobblestone. This is great.
SHELISA:
We are going to find embuste.
Don't know where that is.
But we're gonna look
for children.
DEREK:
And we're gonna
deliver these horses to 'em
and move the wheels
and receive our next clue.
ROHAN: We're finding
the Voladores along the Malecón.
Uh, this looks like the downtown
area to me, right, Maya?
MAYA:
Yeah, we might be starting
to get there.
That might be it.
Okay.
It's definitely tight, Rohan.
Yeah, you're gonna get stuck.
You're stuck.
You can't drive
Oh, my God. Okay.
We have to turn around.
MAYA:
Ooh, that's gonna make a mark,
Rohan.
You want me to do it?
-Uh, yeah.
-Can you navigate me?
A little forward.
A little forward. Stop.
Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop!
Okay.
Stop.
Stop.
-Rohan, I don't know what to do.
-Maya, I don't know what to do.
We're sideways. I don't know how
we're gonna get it back up.
CHRIS:
A little nervous that
the Army guys are
nowhere to be seen, but
MAYA: That looks like
a freakin' park.
[speaking Spanish]
[both speaking Spanish]
-Okay.
-[man speaking Spanish]
-That way.
-Huh?
MARY:
Damn it.
We're probably
behind the military guys.
We're a little nervous now.
[Juan and Shane panting]
SHANE: "You must be ringside
during wrestling match." Okay.
All right,
so, we picked this station,
but we got to be ringside.
[cheering, shouting,
whistle blowing]
JUAN:
Wait. Who are we
who are we looking at?
SHANE: Just watch.
Watch, Juan. Watch.
[referee speaking Spanish]
What the hell am I looking at?
[grunting]
-[whistle blowing]
-JUAN: It's over. It's over.
SHANE:
Well, whatever it was,
it's over.
-JUAN: We're gonna have
to watch that again.
-Okay.
DEREK:
Oh, here we go.

La niños a la niñas.
La niños a la niños.
-Hi!
-Hola.
SHELISA:
Oh, there's a tool. [whoops]
-DEREK: [speaks Spanish] Ooh.
Okay. Gracias.
-Look at that!
-Now
-We have
to take these wheels apart
-to get our clue.
-And put 'em in a basket.
-SHELISA: Oh, underneath.
-Right tighty.
Come on.
Do you guys know
where you're going?
-I'm assuming
it's the other horses.
-Oh, man.
-Bobo, might be easier to push.
-MELISSA: No, I see it.
YVONNE:
You see it?
What's up, yellow team?
We're supposed
to be going to the left.
Watch how I'm doing it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Oh, gracias, señor.
-Thank you. Perfect. The clue.
-[whoops]
Thank you!
Oh, dude,
just get it loose enough
that you can do it
with your hand.
BAILEY:
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This girl actually knows
how to take these things off.
She's a badass chick.
-Okay.
-All right.
-Put these up, Derek.
-All right,
so all the screws, too?
And then we got
to put 'em in a basket.
-SHELISA: Oh, basket. Come on.
-Okay.
Ta-da!
-DEREK: Ta-da!
-SHELISA: Ah! Gracias.
-All right, let's go. Let's go.
-All right.
[whoops] Let's go.
-Thank you.
-What, do we got
to take off the whole wheels?
-Got it. Can I get a check?
-[whoops]
Yeah!
One hand. One hand. Yeah!
-All right, take the clue.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you, buddy.
Good luck, guys.
Look at what we have
for everyone.
-[whooping]
-[speaking Spanish]
Gracias. Okay, yeah.
Okay, M.
Mom, this way.
They're right here.
ROD:
You're looking for a rodeo
area on the left side.
-Rodeo's gonna be to the left.
-I think we're doing great.
I don't really see
too many other teams.
RICKY:
I think a lot of people
may not take us seriously,
but this is a very good leg
for us to push front.
-Set the tone. Set the tone.
-Set the tone.
We are headed to a rodeo.
I'm excited.
Left on Alameda.
Where are the signs?
There's no signs
on any of these streets.
-Oh, wait. Alameda!
-Yes! Yes!
-Alameda!
-Alameda!
Yes!
Take a left, baby!
Take a left!
-Okay, okay.

ROHAN:
Stop. Stop, stop, stop.
Stop. Stop.
Stop.
I legitimately can't
do anything, Rohan. We're stuck.
ROHAN:
You're, like,
basically gridlocked.
I don't know how we're gonna
get out of this. Okay.
I don't know what to do.
-MAYA: I don't know what to do.
-ROHAN: Um
Do you want me
to keep going with it?
Huh? Yeah, we have to.
Stop.
Okay, this way.
Stop!
Oh, you might get it
with this one.
Okay, you did it. You did it.
I want to say, I'm proud of you.
MAYA:
That was one
of the most stressful moments
of my life, Rohan.
ROHAN:
We knew we were playing catchup
with just how long
it was taking us
to get from place to place.
We've always been raised
to be super competitive.
Maya, this is cal
Leona Vicario. We can park here.
MAYA:
We are both
competitive swimmers,
and I played competitive
softball for ten years.
We just need
to simmer down, focus
and get the task done
and move on.
Maya, we made it
to the first clue box.
-Come on, Maya.
-How bad is it?
Um, we're the last. Detour.
We're gonna pick "Pin 'em down."
SHANE: The two winged masked
guys were fighting each other.
-Was flight
-Volcano?
-I think Pyro was fighting
this guy right here.
-Okay.
All right, ref, check.
-No!
-All right. That was expected.

-This is exciting. [laughs]
I've rehydrated.
I'm ready to go.

Thank you.

White is. white is fighting
robot. White is fighting robot.

Mummy and robot.

that we need to look for.
Can we get a check?
Can we get a check?
-Bravo!
-Yes!
-Hell, yeah!
CHRIS:
This is tricky.
-It's gonna be to the left.
-Oh, hey, look.
-It's purple team.
-Okay.
-All right, come on, bro.
-Let's go.
They're right.
ROHAN:
We picked the wrestling one
because it was
a memory challenge.
I have a bachelor's of science
in neuroscience.
I'm a biology major, and so,
studying is something
I have to do often,
and I like to think
I have a decent memory.
-We're not last.
-Gold.
-Gold.
-[whistle blows]
MAYA:
I got the back side.
You get this front side.
Watch them. Watch them.
You got that one?
ROHAN:
At least we're not in last.
-Come on, baby. There you go.
-A check?
-Something, something.
-All right.
-Hello, hello. Does it work?
-Oh! Test it.
-Yeah!
-Let's go.
Thank you. Good job, buddy.
-Oh, see over there?
-Oh, that's it right there.
-Look.
-Yeah.
-We're here, baby.
-We're here.
-We're here.
-Well, there's the clue
right there.
Roadblock.
"Who is feeling loopy?"
La Charrería
is a centuries-old sport
that tests
a horsemen's lassoing skills
along with their horsemanship.
This Roadblock requires teams
to complete a charro challenge
by jumping through a series
of seven spinning lassos
without knocking off
their wide-brimmed hat.
-Okay, I feel loopy.
I'll take it.
-Okay.
Hello, hello.
-Oh, yeah.
-CESAR: Roadblock.
-"Who's feeling loopy?"
-"Who is feeling loopy?"
-You.
-I'll do it. I'll do it.
RICKY: We decided
that everything here was going
to be a Roadblock
that Cesar was going to do.
CESAR:
I grew up in Mexico,
and the language, my home.
Language, your navigation,
all of those things just, like,
set him up for success here.
ROD:
Feeling loopy, baby!
When I arrived,
I had to wear a hat
and a little red necktie.
Hopefully, they got a big lasso,
'cause I'm pretty tall.
[mariachi band playing]
I'm here, baby!
Big rope, tall guy.
ROD:
I get over there.
"Oh, I'm gonna lasso."
And then I get out there
with my first guy.
Oh! My bad.
I didn't know you were ready.
And me and him struggling.
I'm like, "Buddy,
I'm six, three. I can shrink up,
but I need you to try to make
that rope a little bit"
You can shrink up?
Big hole, big hole.
Aw!
So close. It's all right, baby.
That's okay.
My hat.
♪
Aah! Go back here?
Oh, wow. You have
to start over every time?
-RICKY: Yup.
-CESAR: It's gonna be tricky.
Yeah. Big hole.
Yes! Good job, baby!
You got this!
-Hey.
-Oh!
Damn it. Dang!
-Focus, focus.
-Uno, dos trés.
Aah!
[whistle blows]
-MARY:
This one goes with this one.
-CHRIS: Yellow hangs down
-with silver face guy.
-Who was?
I know that this was with skull.
The blue guy was definitely
versus a white guy.
-So, do you want
to do another check?
-Yeah. Check?
-Yes!
-Yes! Yes! Yes!
Okay, they got it.
We are still in this.
MAYA and ROHAN:
Can we get a check?
Come on, come on, come on.
-Rohan!
-Yes! Yes!
-Okay.

ROHAN:
Thank you so much.
You know, we're still in it.
Oh, yes, baby. Good job.
The boys-- they got there
right after us.
Every time
we made it to a challenge,
-a Roadblock, a Detour
-LETICIA: That's a team we saw.
ROD: Either they was
right there before us,
or they came right after.
So they really was our push.
LETICIA: Yes!

Yes. Good job, baby.

-"Drive to your
very first Pit Stop"!
-Let's go.
KISHORI:
Right here. Oh, let me guess.
There's the Charro Miguel
"El Prieto" Ibarria!
Oh! God bless!
Let's go.
There are so many clues left.
KISHORI and KARISHMA:
"Who is feeling loopy?"
Wait. Loopy.
It's probably throwing rope.
It's probably the rope.
It's probably going like this.
-Are you good at that,
or am I good at that?
-I'm from Texas.
Okay, you do it.
Read the read the
Give me the info.
We need to read the
-I'm doing the Roadblock.
I made it.
-Okay.
Karishma, read it.
"You must wear the hat provided
by the handkerchief."
Okay, I need the hat.
KISHORI:
We're in Mexico,
she's half-Mexican,
her dad was from Mexico,
so this is her challenge.
♪
Oh, I wasn't ready!
Ugh!
Focus.
-[groans]
-Don't get discouraged.
You can do this.
I know you can.
DANNY: "Wear your provided
hat and handkerchief
at all time while performing
this Roadblock."
-Make sure it's on there tight.
-Yup.
DANNY:
So, I actually
do not like horses.
My mom took me to a pony fair
when I was little and
I fell off the little ponies
and was scarred from horses.
So, this task has me a little
shaking in my boots.
-All right, you got it, baby.
-[loud neighing]
Oh, look at the horses.
"Who's feeling loopy?"
-I can do it.
-You can you got it?
-Sure.
-Okay.
Oh, my God, everybody's here.
-Hello.
-Hey, sweet girl. How are you?
-Another teammate here.
-I know.
Oh. Aw!
You guys got this.
Just breathe.
-We'll have fun.
-What are we doing?
Let's go. Hey.
No. One second. Oh.
ANTHONY:
Anything that looks
like a rodeo around here, dude.
I don't know
how other teams are doing
navigating through this, but
Not No way everyone here
-[thud]
-Oh! Sorry.
I didn't even see that one.
-is great at maps.
-I'm sorry, guys.
Do you see
any road signs at all?
I did, but they aren't the ones
we're looking for.
MELISSA:
Here we go.
Keep it up. Keep it up.
Oh!
KISHORI: Come on, Karishma.
We're all rooting for you.
[cheering]
You did it?
Am I done?!
I didn't lose my hat.
Read the clue.
Where's my clue?
Just throw it.
"You must wear the provided hat
and handker" Handkerchief?
I don't have a handkerchief.
-BRB.
-KISHORI: Doesn't read the clue.
I knew this was
gonna be an issue.
-Oh.
-She doesn't
read directions carefully.
Oh. [groans]
KISHORI:
Karishma did all seven.
Didn't get the clue
because she forgot
to put the handkerchief on.
Fingers crossed
that there's a bunch
of other teams behind us,
and we'll be okay.
LETICIA:
We got this, babe.
We freaking got this.
We're doing amazing.
Time to fight it out.
We're heading to the Pit Stop,
and right now,
I call 'em "baby blue couple"--
they was
in front of us at first.
Now they're behind us.
I don't know how he did
with that competition, though,
'cause I don't know if he as
athletic as me, like Spider-Man.
Come on! [whistles]
-[Ricky chuckles]
-Oh, my God.
We're going for first.
Hopefully,
orange got a little lost.
ROD:
We're getting there, babe.
I'm feeling it.
It's coming up, it's coming up,
it's coming up.
Let's go, baby.
We almost here.
I don't know what place we in,
but we are almost here.
CESAR:
Oh, my God.
The tension.
ROD:
Oh, I see it right there.
The red sign, baby.
-There you go. There you go.
Right there.
-Okay. Parking.
Go. Go, go, go, go.
Oh, I think
we got action, baby.
Ah!
Ah! Let's go!
-Welcome to Puerto Vallarta.
-LETICIA: Gracias.
-Thank you. I appreciate it.
Gracias to you.
-Gracias.
-Thank you.
-Oh, Rod, you got a big smile
going on there.
-I do, man.
I'm just waiting on you
to give us some good news.
Oh, I think you are
the first team to arrive.
-[screaming]
-My guy! That's what
I'm talking about.
-[whooping]
-Good job, baby.
LETICIA:
When we first saw Phil,
I was so excited
for him to tell us,
"You won something!"
Where are we
What did we get?
-However
-Uh-oh.
-you are still racing.
-Oh.
-Oh, my goodness.
-I got another clue for you.
LETICIA:
I definitely didn't expect
for him to say to keep going.
Keep on racing.
ROD:
We was in first place, we had
a leg up on everybody,
so, we was just ready
to keep racing.
"Find your next clue
at the center
of the Iguana Bridge."
Okay. Give me something,
we'll shuffle these. Let's go.
-One, two, three.
-[grunts]
-Ricky and Cesar,
you are still racing.
-[gasps]
Here's your next clue.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Keep on racing.
-Thank you so much.
SHANE:
"Who's feeling loopy?"
-Who? I'll take it.
-All right, do it.
-Here we go.
-Here we go.
Gah! Darn it.
Oh!
Don't give up.
You can do this.
Oh, shoot.
Wasn't ready for it.
Wasn't ready for it.
All right, we're jumping
through the lassos.
"Jump" is our middle name.
Double Dutch Aerobics.
We own a studio
in Atlanta, Georgia--
the Double Dutch Aerobic Studio.
SEAN: Double Dutch Aerobics
is a formatted class
-MICHELLE: Yes.
-where we do exercises
inside the double Dutch rope.
MICHELLE: You know, we have
three kids, we have a business.
And so, something that's
exciting about the race for us
is it's gonna be the first time
where that's all
we have to focus on.
SEAN:
This is the time where
we get to see
who we are together.
-And I think
I'm gonna like it, right?
-[laughs]
MICHELLE:
You got this, babe.
Is someone looking for a cowboy?
I am! I am!
KISHORI:
The jump ropers got here.
MELISSA:
Oh. They're gonna kill this.
KISHORI:
Yeah, they're gonna kill this.
Oh, Shane! Let's go, bro.
Let's go. Ready?
Thank you.
SHANE:
I got lucky. I got super lucky.
JUAN:
He got it on the second try.
I mean, like,
Shane is an athlete.
We lapped all those teams.
Go get 'em.
SHANE: It was incredible
because, hey, we're
we're somehow back in this.
KISHORI:
Green team got here after us,
and they've already finished,
so feeling a little nervous.
Aah!
You're gonna get it, babe.
-All right, baby.
-Okay. Where's Phil?
Come on, Phil.
Where you at? Ah!
-I see him! [laughs]
-DEREK: There he is.
There he is.
-[both laughing]
-Here we go. Here we go.
-Ah
-Nice.
-[whoops]
-DEREK: Whoa.
-Derek and Shelisa, I am pleased
-to tell you
that you're the third
-DEREK: I knew it!
-Third place! I knew it.
-to arrive.
-Oh, my goodness. My goodness.
-Third place. Yes.
However, you are still racing.
-Oh! [mumbles]
-Oh, Phil!
-I got another clue for you.
-Here is your next clue.
-DEREK: Okay. Okay.
-All right!
Rip it, read it
and keep on racing.
-All right. Thank you.
-Okay. Thank you.
KARISHMA:
I was like, "I can't quit."
I had to do this for Dad.
I was like, I wanted
to make my dad proud.
-For Dad!
-KISHORI: Karishma, yay!
Yeah, Karishma, good job!
But the double Dutchers
are gonna
get it real fast,
so we got to go.
Jump back,
Jump forward, jump through.
-Oh!
-Aah!
When I messed up a couple
of times, I was like, "Uh-oh."
The way you jump
into double Dutch ropes is
you always want
to be close to the turner
before you get in because
if you jump in too far away,
you're gonna get caught
in the ropes.
I got into instructor mode.
I was like,
"Oh, okay. I got you.
I know what we're doing now."
-MICHELLE: You got it, babe.
-I know.
No, Danny!
MELISSA:
There you go. There you go.
[Melissa whoops]
[whooping]
Yeah! Oh, yeah.
I think we're very close.
ROHAN:
We know we're not
that far behind.
Anyone can have
navigational issues.
AMBER: The map, like, cuts off.
Like, it's so weird.
There's no road
leading to the rodeo.
-ANGIE: Yes.
-Yes! Come on! Come on!
Gracias, mujera.
Let's go, Mama.
This is obviously a dream
of mine,
and I just I'm really happy
that we get to continue.
I got to get you
to our Pit Stop.
-It's way over here.
-Okay.
And we're, like, over here.
-Oh.
-I know. It's so weird.
SEAN:
I was living my best life
out there 'cause I knew,
eventually, I'd get it.
[shrieks]
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Yes, yes.
Any road signs at all?
SEAN:
Hey, guys.
-Grab your clue, get your hat.
-Look, man. There.
-Dude, I'm
-Yeah.
-I'm real loopy.
-I think he deserves
to do this one.
ANTHONY:
All right.
[laughing]
BAILEY: We're not, like,
jeans and boots guys,
but we knew
we just had to get through.
-Thank you.
-And the fact he did it so fast,
-it kind of gave us a cushion
that we were looking for.
-Yeah.
[whoops]
Thank you!
Hey, that was good work, bro.
I don't feel like
we're in the back of the pack.
-I hope not.
-Like, we're fighting for last.
If we're getting lost,
you can imagine
that other people
are getting lost.
Here we go.
CHRIS: We got to gas it.
-Still in it.
-All right.
Well, I'm pretty good
at jump-roping.
I've jump-roped
all of my life.
I was, "Jump rope
for your heart"
when I was a kid.
And now, I even do, like,
just skip-jumps all the time,
so, that's a good
aerobic workout.
-Okay.
-Okay.
You're doing really well.
She's crushing the lassos.
[whoops]
I didn't even get to,
like, sit down.
-She crushed that so hard.
-Yeah.
[both whooping]
-VINNY: This is
-This just doesn't
look right, babe.
I don't know where we are.
Okay, let's
let's turn around.
VINNY:
This is so hard to find.
If you think you have what it
takes to win The Amazing Race,
got to cbs.com/casting
and apply now.
AMBER: Yeah, this
is definitely not right.
We're really lost, so
Señor. ¿Donde esta la rodeo?
[speaking Spanish]
It's closed.
This street is closed.
-We're on the right track.
-We just
-[speaking Spanish]
-We need to go around.
-Okay.
Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go, baby!
-[mumbles]
-Yes! Yes! Yes!
-Juan and Shane,
you are still racing.
-Oh, boy.
AMBER: Oh, yeah.
There's the rodeo right there.
-There it is. I see it.
-Yup.
VINNY: We're here.
We're here. We're here.
There's two. Shoot.
We're almost last place.
When we got there,
she looked at me with this,
you know,
"There's only one clue left."
It was this face of death,
and it was, like
-Oh, it was awful.
-And she said,
"You are doing it."
-You got it, Mary.
-I got it.
CHRIS:
It was really good
to see the dream team show up.
MARY:
We weren't in last place,
which pushed us
to keep fighting.
Oh!
It's okay, Mary.
You're doing good.
VINNY: When I felt that pressure
going into that Roadblock,
it felt a lot like work.
Like, when you have
a crashing patient,
and every heartbeat counts,
it's like, "Okay, it's go time."
Three.
Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah. I knew he would do it.
MARY:
When Vinny and Amber left,
we were so frustrated.
But when my mom passed,
that is, hands down,
the most difficult thing
that I've ever been through.
And if I can get through that,
I can get through anything.
-[shrieking]
-Oh!
KEOGHAN: Michelle and Sean.
Yvonne and Melissa.
Angie and Danny.
Anthony and Bailey.
-Sunny and Bizzy.
-Yes!
-You are still racing.
-Okay.
-Thanks, Phil! [whoops]
We're going down the same road
that we got here on
-so we don't
-Is that quickest, you think?
I wouldn't say
it's the quickest,
but it's the way
I can be assured.
Gracias. Thank you! Thank you.
MARY:
We're not out of the race yet.
ROHAN:
You think this is it?
-MAYA: Yes, 'cause
that's Chris and Mary.
-ROHAN: Yes.
As we were arriving,
we saw Chris and Mary
running out of the Roadblock.
They're probably going
to the Pit Stop,
-so we need
to speed through this.
-Yeah.
MAYA: Yeah, buddy!
Get it done, Rohan!
Yeah, Rohan!
-Yes! Thank you so much!
-MAYA: Yeah, Rohan!
Thank you. Let's go.
I'm so proud of you.
That was really fast.
Maya, they're less
than ten minutes out.
-We can still make it.
-If they get lost
-Uh-huh.
-we're good.
-We did it. Yeah.
-[whooping]
I'm really proud of Karishma.
I know her dad
is looking down at us,
watching, probably
giggling at us.
-Laughing at us.
-He's, like, giggling
at my Spanish.
You are still racing 'cause
I got another clue for you.
-Thank you.
-Okay, thank you.
VINNY:
Now that I'm thinking about it,
this road is actually
going opposite
of where we want to go.
So we're far.
Oh, man. We're still in this.
CHRIS:
I don't know how fast
I can book it
to the mat, but I'll try.
We're in absolute last place,
but the team before us
was leaving when we came in,
and I got the Roadblock done
really quick, so,
if they stopped for directions,
we definitely would be
in front of them.
[Mary speaking Spanish]
-[speaking Spanish] Mm-hmm.
-Okay. Gracias.
-CHRIS: Getting close?
-Hope so.
AMBER:
Babe, this is really bad.
We're just driving
in the opposite direction
-of where we need to go.
-VINNY: I need to catch
one of these turns
and turn around.
ROHAN:
Yeah. Malecón Centro.
Go straight.
We know exactly
where we're going.
-AMBER: Yup. Yup.
-VINNY: And I'll make
a U-turn right here,
and we'll be good to go.
Yup. Perfect.
We know it isn't over
until Phil tells us it's over.
You don't have to be first.
You just can't be last.
-[whooping, laughing]
-Yes! Yes! Yes!
Oh, my God.
Wow, look at that.
We have another team
-running in behind you.
-Yeah.
Amber and Vinny.
We are not eliminated.
-We are not eliminated.
-You are not eliminated.
Yay! Let's go!
-Man, let's go!
-Awesome!
All right, man.
Okay.
[cheering, whooping]
-It just wasn't our day, Phil.
-Wasn't our day at all.
Maya and Rohan,
you are the last team to arrive,
and I'm sorry to tell you
that you have been eliminated
from the race.
It's okay.
I know this was a dream
for you guys to come on
-to The Amazing Race.
-ROHAN: It really was.
-It was.
we've been watching forever
and ever and ever.
And so even just to get to run
one leg of the race has meant
It's been a dream come true.
ROHAN:
One of the things
that I'm proudest of
is we got through the day
without getting mad at
each other, raising our voice.
MAYA:
I can't have asked
for a better partner
to do this with.
I really can say
from this experience
that he is my ride-or-die
in life,
and I can't imagine my life
without him.
We were hoping to see what we
could do with our sibling bond,
and we're sad to go
because we really,
-Yeah.
-like, love the show so much
from the bottom of our hearts.
-Thank you, Phil.
-Thank you, Phil.

Oh! I can't believe
we're still racing.
KEOGHAN:
Teams get mixed up
at the Roadblock
-Is this your first thing
you're coming to?
-No.
Wait.
There was something before this?
SHANE:
Detour before the Roadblock.

Let's go, baby!
13 dynamic teams of two
DANNY:
We are absolutely
gonna be
the first mother-son duo
to win The Amazing Race.
-Good job!
-I'm proud of you.
KARISHMA:
I love being underestimated.
I think when people see
that I'm, like,
this four, 11 girl,
they're like,
"That girl's weak."
Have you jumped out
of a plane 81 times?
LETICIA:
He's the best teammate
-that I've ever had
in my life
-I appreciate that, babe.
which is why I made you
my husband, so, lucky you.
I appreciate it.
[whooping]
BIZZY:
My goal is to prove two women
can get anything accomplished.
JUAN:
You're almost there, buddy.
You're almost there.
Finish it up.
The money's icing on the cake.
It's going to be
about the experience first.
We're gonna come out winners,
even if we don't come out
with a million-dollar check,
uh, which is unlikely.
KEOGHAN:
will embark
-on a breathtaking
-Wow.
thrilling
Whoo! It's going so fast!
unpredictable journey.
Ready to go.
KEOGHAN:
A life-changing adventure
that will test their physical
-Oh, I'm bleeding.
-Oh, my God!
and mental fortitude
-Nah, I ain't doing that.
-Babe, please don't quit.
The world is bigger than you.
like never before.
Aah!
KEOGHAN:
Only the best will get a shot
at racing to the finish line
for $1 million.
Let's go hard
and race around the world!
KEOGHAN:
It all begins here
in Puerto Vallarta.
Travel publications
have called it
the friendliest city
in the world,
the number one
culinary destination in Mexico,
and rated the beaches here
among the best in the world.
-[whooping]
-Let's go!
[whooping continues]
-Welcome to Mexico.
-[cheering, whooping]
Yes, good to see you all.
Look at those beautiful faces.
What a dynamic group
of people that we have here,
and it is going
to be competitive.
Just tell us a little bit
about yourselves.
-[laughter]
-We'll jump right in.
-I'll go.
-Hello. Come on.
-So, my name is Sean.
This is my wife,
my life, Michelle.
-CONTESTANTS: Aw.
-I'm Michelle Clark.
-And we're the owners
of Double Dutch Aerobics.
-Yes.
And my wife
my wife is a what?
-World champion in double Dutch.
-Ooh!
And I'm a master DDA instructor,
and all that means
is that we can teach
-anybody in the world.
-Anybody how
to jump double Dutch.
-Including you, Phil.
-Yes.
I do hope we get to do
a little jumping at the mat.
-Oh.
-Yes, we will.
We are 25-year-old
identical twins.
We live in Clearwater, Florida.
And we're, like, all-around
beach boys, so starting off
at the beach feels
pretty fitting for us.
-We're in our element here.
-[laughter]
My dad has been raising me
as a single dad
since I was ten years old,
and he's my teammate for life.
So I wouldn't want
to do this with anybody else.
We live
in a one-bedroom apartment,
so we're just excited to see
the world together, and
-We're just happy
to be outside right now.
-Yes.
We're both certified registered
nurse anesthetists.
What does that even mean?
That means that you can
put out your competition,
and they wake up
at the finish line.
-Exactly.
-Within seconds.
We've been traveling
anesthesia providers,
traveling all over the country,
providing anesthesia.
Juan and I met
in pilot training.
Since then, we've been pretty
much as inseparable as it gets
by living on different sides
of the country.
Happy to be here and share this
with my best friend
and be able to make our wives
back home proud
-and my little one.
-Oh, man.
-It's a dream
that we couldn't even fathom.
-Aw.
We've been dating
for three years.
We live
in San Diego, California.
I cannot believe
we're in Mexico.
My family's from Mexico,
emigrated from Mexico,
and I'm first-generation
Mexican-American.
And I am just so
just ecstatic to be here.
We're both, um, students
and summer camp
aquatics directors.
-We've been fans
for such a long time.
-Forever.
We watched Tammy and Victor
and Nick and Starr win
all those years ago.
Did you have to say that?
-[laughter]
-But it's our turn now.
We're so excited to be here.
[applause]
We are so excited
to have you all here.
We know
it's gonna be competitive.
And just like last season,
no non-elimination legs
on this race.
[groaning, gasping]
DEREK:
You don't have that crutch there
in case you make a mistake.
And that means you have to be
on your game all the time.
On your game,
all the time, every leg.
Last season,
we went to a country
that we had never
been to before.
Well, this season,
there are two new countries
-that we have never
been to before.
-[applause and cheering]
Your first clue is on the car
which is parked
out in the parking lot
on the other side of the hotel.
Okay,
let's get those backpacks on.
Let's buckle up.
Is everybody ready to race?
-ALL: Yeah!
-All right.
The world is waiting for you.
Good luck. Travel safe.

What a coincidence.
We're here, like
-We're here. I know you
-It's happening. It's happening.
And it's The Amazing Race.
ANTHONY: We're actually
looking for the "Vala-doray,"
"Voladores."
I wish I didn't
fail Spanish twice now.
[laughs]
KARISHMA:
So I'm actually half Mexican.
My father is Mexican.
-But I am sadly monolingual.
-[laughs]
KISHORI:
We're cousins,
but I really consider
Karishma my little sister.
I actually lived with
her family for about six months.
We had the sisterly
bonding experience.
I think that's what makes
our relationship so awesome.
I was 17 when my parents died.
Losing my father
to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and
losing my mom to breast cancer
-was very hard.
-KISHORI: I know her parents
are gonna be there in spirit
-with us on the race,
cheering us on.
-Yeah.
-We're gonna do this for them.
-Yeah.
MICHELLE:
We've just started the race.
I'm sweating like an animal.
I should exercise
maybe a little more.
You know I run, and it felt like
-I never ran a day in my life.
Isn't that messed up?
-I know.
VINNY:
Uh, my Spanish is decent.
I minored in Spanish in college.
I don't have any other language
other than Southern.
DANNY: As a little kid,
I've been dreaming
ofThe Amazing Race.
And I told my friends I was
gonna be on The Amazing Race
when I was, like, 13,
and I told people
that I was gonna get to do it
-with my mom.
-Yeah.
And so, I'm really honored
and really blessed.
I just want to watch him enjoy.
I mean, every mom just wants
to watch their child
live their dream.
I'm watching mine.
And you can't drive
when you're crying.
This is definitely
I was a really sick kid.
Um, I had to be homeschooled
'cause I was literally allergic
to the walls of my school,
couldn't run
across a playground
without having an asthma attack.
ANGIE:
He has some challenges, yup.
DANNY:
So to be able to embark
on a race around the world
and to be able to do that
with someone
who's an absolute hero to you--
it means more
than a million dollars.
ROHAN: I don't know 100%
where we are right now
in the race. A lot of the teams
just took off from the start,
so it's unclear if they're
stopping to ask for directions.
This is definitely
an experience.
ROHAN:
We've always been super fans
ofThe Amazing Race.
In high school,
I took French, she took Spanish.
MAYA:
We had to make sure we
took different languages because
he wanted to prepare for
the moment we were on the race.
I can't imagine running the race
with anybody
other than Rohan.
We are extremely close.
He's my ride-or-die in my life.
We want to look out
for one another,
and it just further establishes
the trust that we have
in each other.
It's very different driving
in a different country,
so I'm hoping that I can
get the hang of this soon.
-MARY: This is fun.
-CHRIS: Took me a little bit
to catch my breath, but I think
I'm back in the game.
-We love stress. We love stress.
[laughing]
Oh, my dad honestly thrives
on stress.
I sure thrive on it.
I do my best work under stress.
SHANE:
We're trying to find
the Malecón, and then, uh,
we can rejoice once we land
on the mat in first place.
-It's always about
coming in first.
-It's coming in first.
-That's it.
-If you're not
trying to be the best
at everything you do,
you're not trying hard enough.
I'm an active duty
Air Force tanker pilot.
SHANE:
And I am a temp pilot
in the Air National Guard.
Shane and I met
at pilot training.
SHANE:
It's extremely strenuous,
and you really need to lock on
to someone,
and that someone was Juan.
At the end of any bad day
or good day, we were together.
We laughed together,
we cried together.
So that's what
makes us so tight.
I think we just got off
the highway, though, 'cause
I think, the whole time,
that was the highway.
We were supposed
to go that way?
JUAN:
Even speaking Spanish,
it's still kind of difficult,
because, like,
it's a relatively busy city that
you're not used to being in,
and just,
everything looks different.
DEREK:
Well, we are in Puerto Vallarta.
SHELISA:
Oh, we are in Puerto Vallarta.
-Look for streets.
-I am!
Don't yell.
Just look for streets.
Well, hell, I can't see 'em.
Why don't you turn this way?
'Cause you said
to get off of the
-No, I didn't!
-You said, I You said
-No! 'Cause that's the avenue.
-[mocking]: No!
-See the sign.
-Okay, we got two signs here.
[laughing]:
Shut up.
[mocking]:
No!
[flute playing,
rhythmic drumming]
CESAR:
Allende.This is it.
-Allende?
-Yeah, yeah. Turn left.
Left, left.
Wait, wait, wait. Behind.
I-I cannot
Come on, come on, come on.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
RICKY:
I'm gonna park on the right.
CESAR:
Yeah, along the yellow curb.
Voladores? Straight ahead?
Okay, he said straight ahead.
Come on, Ricky. Come on.
Go, go, go, go, go!
Let's go, right here,
straight ahead.
[sing-songy]:
Lots of cards!
[sighs]
"Detour. Pick 'em up"
BOTH:
"Or pin them down."
This is the Malecón,
a 15-block promenade
that is perhaps the most
popular place to walk in town,
and the best place
to see local artwork,
including these rocking horses,
which are scattered
up and down the boardwalk.
Teams need
to pick up two of them
from storage
high on this hill
and transport them down
the narrow, cobblestone streets
to the Malecón.
Once their horses
have a happy young rider,
they'll get their next clue.
[grunting]
Lucha Libre,
second only to soccer
as Mexico's most popular
spectator sport.
Fans of this freestyle
wrestling argue
that it's faster,
more flamboyant,
has more brawls, more mass,
and more high-flying action
-[grunting]
-[cheering]
than any other form
of professional wrestling.
After watching 40 seconds
of this battle royale
and relying
only on their memory,
teams need to match five pairs
of these luchadores
based on who's fighting whom
in all the mayhem.
-Okay, so a memory
or a physical?
-Okay.
RICKY:
In our previous trip here,
those rocking horses were out,
so we knew
that they were gonna be big.
-"Pin them down."
-"Pin them down."
-Come on.
-Okay, let's figure out
where we going.
I think we should do
the wrestling match.
-Let's do "transport
two rocking horses." Okay.
-Okay.
So we're gonna find,
uh, Calle Corona
at 408, which should be
three blocks, hopefully.
Oh. What the hell is going on?
-Derek?!
-What?
My bag opened!
-What's unzipped?
-[sighs]
You done bust your zipper.
Shelisa and I have been married
for 34 years.
When it comes down to it,
she's my best friend.
-Aw.
-And we'll get along,
and we'll work out fine.
I'm recently retired
as the chief of police
for Ontario Police Department.
I was
at the sheriff's department.
I was actually the first
African-American
female lieutenant
in the history
of the department,
so I was really, um,
proud of myself.
-I was proud of you, as well.
-Thanks.
-You have the clue?
-You good with dumping these?
Yeah, dumping those.
Not working out.
Calle Corona.
What address is this?
It's 200 this way. 362.
I told you
to go back this way.
Okay. All right,
all right, all right.
Baby, we out here. Let's go.
I chose the wrestling match
'cause I'm stable,
I can sit down, pay attention.
Even though
I don't have the best memory--
hers is better than mine-- but
I think that's the best choice.
I think that's the best choice.
Since we don't know
exactly where we're going.
I am a former NFL player.
Got drafted in the first round
to Washington.
-Go, Commanders.
-Yeah. Yeah.
And how it translates
into The Amazing Race,I think,
in pressure situations--
that's where I'm at my best.
LETICIA:
We're going on nine years
married.
Rod doesn't like
to lose anything.
He's an athlete, I'm not.
But I come
from very humble beginnings.
I've been a fighter
my whole life.
So I'm not quitting,
and neither is he.
Let's go, baby.
There's too many clues in there.
They ain't got here yet.
I definitely made
a wrong turn somewhere.
ROHAN:
Oh, you want to ask these people
right here, there.
Um, I can't stop right here.
Maya, we can't keep driving
in this direction.
Okay. I'm trying to figure out
what to do right now, Rohan.
Straight, right, left?
Where do you want me to go?
ROHAN:
Um
we're definitely not
in the right area.
We are very, very lost, Rohan.
-ROHAN: Yeah.
-MAYA: I hate this.
Hopefully, there's a team
that just as lost as
-MAYA: Us.
-we are right now.
We didn't have a map.
We prepared
for weeks and weeks and weeks.
We'd go places with maps.
MAYA:
We definitely could have gone
to buy one, but it was just
thinking about how much time
we could have potentially lost.
It's definitely
a little bit nerve-racking.
But as we've seen
watching the race,
anything can still happen.
So, I'm staying optimistic.
Oh, hey, there's a team
right there. Okay.
-Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-All right.
Got some motion.
Are these
the answering stations?
These are
the answering stations.
-These are fine.
-Okay. Oh, my God.
RICKY:
Have to be ringside.
CESAR:
Ringside. Okay.
-Vamos.
-[indistinct shouting]
-[whooping]
-[men yelling]
Out of nowhere, all of these
luchadores jump into the ring.
RICKY:
Yeah, like, 30 guys just,
like, come rushing the ring.
[shouts]
RICKY:
It was very chaotic.
CESAR:
Oh, my God. Oh, my goodness.
-RICKY: That's it.
-CESAR: Okay.
RICKY:
Madness.
-So, versus, versus,
left and right.
-Go, go, go. Yes.
-Okay, this blue guy
was wrestling yellow.
-Okay.
-I think yellow. Cool.
-Wait, wait, wait.
-Just
-Wait, wait, wait.
I need a skull.
-Like, a little skull on top.
-Skull.
-Give me that.
-What are-what are
-You have those set?
-I have these two for sure.
LETICIA:
Oh, shoot. They already started.
-Lightning and blue?
-I didn't see this one.
CESAR:
Oh, my God.
MELISSA:
"Climb the Voladores."
Oh, that's them? Voladores?
It is, just as you thought.
-YVONNE: Clue box. Clue box.
-Where?
Down here.
-Oh, here you go.
-Oh, Detour.
-We're picking, "Pick 'em up."
-"Pick 'em up."
-You can take this right.
-This looks like some colors.
Yeah, let's park here.
Let's park here.
All right, let's go.
Oh, this is it, bro, right here.
Dude, we just stumbled up
on this one.
-Is this it?
-Clue?
-Clue?
-Hmm.
-This might be them, bro.
-Oh, here, here. Down here.
Look at these guys, bro.
-Yeah, yeah, right here.
-There's a clue. [whoops]
Let's go.
-How's it going? What's up?
-Oh. You got the clue?
-Nice to meet you.
-Oh!
Do we get to climb up?
Oh, I don't think
we have to, bro.
Yeah, I think we do.
We're chill dudes,
but we also know
when it's time
to step up and compete.
Doing the race together
as a team
is so important to us
just because
we grew up with people
pitting us against each other.
You know, who's better at this,
who got the hotter girls,
who's faster,
who makes more money.
Everything was a competition, so
it made us kind of
resent each other in an aspect.
So I think to come together
and just working together
as a team
is long overdue for us.
We don't have to prove
to each other,
you know, who's better,
'cause we're better together.
You were about
to free-climb that.
Just, who has a clue, then?
-Oh. Oh, all right.
-It's right here, dude.
-Oh.
-[laughs] Yeah.
I for sure thought we were
climbing that pole, dude.
All right.
So we're gonna do the horses.
AMBER:
We need to be looking for
-Oh, there's another team.
-Yes, come on. Boardwalk.
-Where's the boardwalk?
-MARY: Yes, that's where
we're heading.
CHRIS:
We're headed down
to the boardwalk.
-So, Malecón-- I'm guessing
it's near the water.
-I believe so.
Grab it.
MARY:
Come on, it's the clue box!
The Voladores. Oh, look at it!
That's awesome!
-SEAN: Oh, there it is
right there.
Let's go!
-We're going Walla Walla!
-First and second!
-Walla Walla!
-Walla Walla, first and second.
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
Quick! Keys in the car!
Keys in the car!
Keys in the car!
Child, I can't with you.
Lock the car!
-Which one's our car?!
-That one up there!
-Kishori
-Oh, my God.
Lock the car.
SEAN:
Oh, snap. There it is.
We're gonna do "Pick 'em up."
-"Pick 'em up."
-"Pick 'em up"?
"Only seven teams may compete
in each Detour.
First come, first serve."
Yes! Oh, my God.
Yes, Karishma, found it.
"Pick 'em up." We're gonna
choose "Pick 'em up."
-We're gonna do "Pin 'em down."
-"Pin 'em down." We're good.
-We have a good memory.
-We have a good memory.
And we love wrestlers!
"Pick 'em up."
The physical challenge,
you know it for sure.
You just have to ask
for some directions.
-ANGIE: Let's ask.
-English?
-Calle Corona.
-Calle Corona?
Sí.
Uno, dos, trés, cuatro bloques.
-[speaking Spanish]
-Muchasgracias.
MARY:
"One large
and one small rocking horse."
There's still teams back there.
You can take a breather.
I just got to walk fast
instead of running for a second.
No worries. You got this.
Enjoy the beautiful Mexican sun.
This is amazing.
I've always been a Daddy's girl.
I'm 26 years old and I still
live at home, so I think
that tells something
about our relationship
and how close we are.
My mom passed away from cancer
when I was ten years old.
I don't think that I could
have been the person
that I am today
without his support.
I've had to take on both roles
a little bit.
I never can replace her mother,
but I've done
what I can do
to try to make Mary thrive,
and she really is
my best, best friend.
Come on! [laughs]
That's not Calle Corona.
One more.
Let's do one more.
-Gracias. Calle
-Corona?
-Calle 408
-Calle Corona?
-Corona. Get the clue out,
baby, so she can see it.
-Okay.
VINNY:
We've been dating for
AMBER:
A little over four years.
We actually met
in nurse anesthesia school.
We're, like,
in the cadaver lab,
and he's, like,
trying to talk to me.
We've talked about engagement,
getting married,
and, hopefully,
if we win the million dollars,
that would be even better.
[laughs]
VINNY:
I'm very outgoing.
She's the thinker,
-and I'm the doer.
-Yeah.
-Let's count how many blocks.
-One.
This is gonna be our first one.
One, two, three, four.
Gracias, señora.
-Babe, you with me?
-Yeah.
I'm trying.
CESAR:
Those two.
-Blue mask.
-I think we might have it.
CESAR:
Come on, come on, come on.
-Ref, check?
-Check?
CESAR:
Oh, my God. The tension.
What you got, ref?
-No, no, no!
-CESAR: Okay.
Hey, can we get it going?
-[mutters]
-No, no, no, not the top one,
the bottom.
-CESAR: I don't know
what you're talking about.
-Your middle
No. He had, like, a wart here,
so I saw that.
Like, I got on his size.
[Rod grunting]
[men grunting]
Yeah! Let's go. [laughs]
-[whistle blowing]
-Here, here. Just stay back.
-[shouting]
-Yeah!
ROD:
Oh, there's a bunch
of y'all here at one time.
I see the I like the red.
ROD:
When all the guys got
in the ring and started
battling it out,
I was so lost.
I didn't know
what mask to look at.
LETICIA:
I wasn't expecting,
like, 50 guys
to run out there,
so I feel like,
-find out what's happening.
Like, just take that in.
-Yeah, but
-Baby, baby?
-LETICIA: Somebody with a skull
on his head.
-Oh, my God.
What is happening right now?
-[whistle blows]
-Come on. Come on, Ricky.
-One, two, three. Babe?
ROD:
It was Lucha versus Giganteze.
-For sure.
There's, like the two
-Blue and green.
White and blue.
I remember.
Lightning and gold
I don't think was right.
-Okay. Is there a blue of these?
-I saw him.
-Yeah, I saw him
fight somebody in the blue.
-So now we just
-Let's get it right.
-Let's get it right.
We cannot wait
another five minutes.
He fought somebody in blue, but
I don't think it was this one.
He fought somebody,
looked like a cat woman.
-231?
-Yeah, this is northside.
This works.
We got to go this way.
-Corona. Calle Corona.
-SHELISA: Oh, good job.
-DEREK: I see 'em. Come on.
-Good job.
Come on. There's a lot
of them here. We're good.
-Look how many are here.
-Whew!
Oh, it's gonna be hard because
it's on cobblestones, so
-Well, well, get on
-Geez!
DEREK:
There was a smaller horse
and a larger horse,
and it's my
-I took the smaller horse.
-Of course she did.
DEREK:
All right, all right,
hold on to the head.
SHELISA:
The cobblestones made it
very difficult to maneuver.
[both whooping]
SHELISA:
And going downhill,
and they weren't
the lightest horses.
[horn honking]
DEREK: I didn't think
about the cobblestones.
I know
there's a better strategy here.
[laughing]
YVONNE:
Are we having fun yet?
[grunts]
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
The streets are too rocky.
-That's not gonna work.
-Um
Pulling is easier.
YVONNE:
We met three years ago
through a meetup group called
BOTH:
"Girls Who Like Girls
Who Like to Hike."
MELISSA:
We do not currently
live together.
YVONNE: We're going a little bit
backwards, I'd say.
We're thinking
about a family already.
MELISSA:
We don't follow
the same sort of timelines
that a lot of other people do,
and it sort of confuses
our friends and family.
We're both fiercely independent.
Careful. There's some holes!
Careful! Careful!
Streets just keep
getting worse and worse.
CESAR:
Are you confident?
Lightning and blue.
Lightning and blue.
-I'm confident.
-Okay, should we go?
-Check, please.
-Check, please.
ROD:
Check, check.
CESAR:
We've got it. We've got it.
-No, no, no!
-RICKY: Focus.
I don't want
to do this again.
Okay. Me neither.
Just say "amazing"
from the get-go
and let us get out of here.
-No, no.
-No, no, no?
-The pink team just came.
-CESAR: Let's get it right
on this one, Ricky.
We need to be the next ones out.
-We're not looking, we're not
-Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
We're not looking, I promise.
-SUNNY: We're gonna pick 'em up.
-BIZZY: Being firefighters,
we're strong
and we've got skills.
Okay, so it says I can park
along the side of the road,
but obviously,
it's all freaking taken up.
Okay, it's not fair, but
we need to get up road,
up the street.
How do we get up there, bro?
-Shoot.
-We have to find a parking spot.
Yeah.
ROHAN:
We still don't know where
we're going, which it's
MAYA:
A little nerve-racking.
ROHAN:
Maya, would you feel
more comfortable if I drove?
You have to help me try
to figure out where we're going.
-Okay?
-Yeah, I got you.
ROHAN:
We're back on a main road.
MAYA:
That's the win of the moment.
ROHAN:
Maya, we're never out of it
until we get there.
I'm sure there's a team
that struggled with directions,
maybe not to our extent,
but you know
that once we get to a task,
we can make up some time.
Yeah, we're gonna be okay.
We are.
We're looking for, "Make
your foot to Calle Corona 408."
This is Calle Juarez.
This is Juarez.
We're looking for Corona.
It's a seven-person limit,
seven-team limit.
Hopefully, we get there
before everybody else does
and we're not wasting our time.
This is not right.
This is not right.
SHELISA:
Grab it by the handle.
It's easier this way.
We have to make sure
there's no stairs.
DEREK:
Let's go 'cause we can just
we can always just
-SHELISA:
Go down the next street.
-Yeah.
AMBER:
Right. We should have
done more stairs.
Holy
VINNY:
Come on, Come on.
AMBER:
My legs.
Babe, it's a
a marathon, not a sprint.
-Okay?
-There's some horses up here.
BAILEY:
Uh
All right, let's take this.
This one's not fun.
-VINNY: We got to go down.
-Yeah.
Yeah, when do y'all want
to go down?
-Let's go down this hill.
-ANTHONY: Let's do it?
ANTHONY:
Trying to bring
those horses down the hill--
I mean, we tried
a few different techniques.
We didn't know if we wanted
to push or pull.
-It all sucked, though.
-Yeah.
-[groans]
-Hills are not your friend.
Oh
AMBER:
The wheels were, like
VINNY: Get jammed
into the cobblestones.
AMBER: Yeah, get jammed
into the cobblestones.
VINNY:
And then the horse is rocking
to the left and then
to the right,
and you're like,
"What is going on here?"
-You're going too fast. It's
-VINNY: I got the weight.
-It's steep.
-You control it.
I got the weight. Oh.
Wow.
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ow, ow, ow!
-What happened?
-Uh, my finger.
-You okay?
-Yeah. You pinched it.
Can you
can you just get away?
Okay.
[shouting,
whistle blowing]
KISHORI:
Okay, memorize the masks
and their bodysuits.
♪
[grunting, shouting]
Um
He's fighting yellow-red.
LETICIA:
Oh, my gosh.
ROD:
Orange, green, black, yellow.
Blue and black, white and green,
red and skull, blue and black.
White and green, red and skull,
blue and black.
White and green, red
-Lightning and gold.
-Yes, yes, yes.
ROD:
I got my people.
I'm gonna get a splinter.
-Check, please. Check, check.
-Check, please. Check.
LETICIA:
I feel like it's these two.
ROD:
Check, check, check.
-Yeah.
-[whoops]
-[speaks Spanish]
-Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
CESAR:
Muchasgracias.
-Might be easier from the couch.
-Okay. Route Info.
"Drive yourself
to Lienzo Charro"
-"Lienzo Charro
-Miguel 'Prieto' Ibarria." Okay.
-RICKY: "Find your next clue."
I think
we're still in first, Ricky.
-Felicidades.
-Yeah, that's what I'm talking
about, baby!
-Oh. Thank you so much.
-We're amazing.
They got theirs.
-Check?
-We here, baby. Let's go.
-Okay.
REFEREE: No!
-That one's not right.
It's not right.
-It's okay. We got it.
DANNY: I thought
these horses would be small,
but they're ginormous.
Mom, I'm coming!
-No, no, no, no, no, no.
-Can I help?
[horse neighs]
This is the road, you're saying?
-SHANE: Yes. Yes! Yes!
-JUAN: Yes!
JUAN:
We are one of the last ones.
Getting to our first clue box,
there's only two clues in there.
And at that point,
I said, "We're in trouble."
We screwed up.
Dude, we're done.
-Want to do "Pick 'em up"?
-All right.
-We're gonna do "Pick 'em up."
-We're gonna do "Pick 'em up."
SHELISA: Boy, is it hot! Whew!
DEREK:
We're sweaty, exhausting.
SHELISA:
Oh, it was a scorcher.
Okay.
Slow and easy.
Oh, lookit. Lookit, Mar.
Lookit.
Are there more horses up there?
-Yup.
-Okay, thanks.
-[whoops] You got it, guys.
-[whooping]
-Are there more horses?
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
Awesome! Thank you.
-CHRIS: Oh, my God.
-MARY: Just slow and steady.
-We don't have to run.
-It's not here?
Uh, there's another team.
-Fancy seeing you here.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-Y'all are doing great.
-More horses up there?
Yeah, there were two pairs
of them left.
-There's still two more left.
-Thank you.
-There. There's horses.
-Horses!
MICHELLE:
We got to the horses.
-SEAN: And there was only
-MICHELLE: Two left.
-MELISSA: We picked a hard one.
-SEAN: 'Cause a team came right
-behind us, so it was really
-MICHELLE: Right behind us.
So, that was, like, scary.
-Ready?
-Yeah.
BIZZY:
We got there, and Double Dutch
is neck-and-neck with us.
And we're the last team
to grab horses.
MICHELLE:
Sean, let's go. Let's go.
SUNNY:
Here we go. Here we go.
Got it, got it, got it.
KARISHMA:
Skull diamond.
-Dead
-Yes. This one's fighting
this one.
-We got it.
-Correct. And we got it. Check?
-KARISHMA: Check.
-Can we check?
KARISHMA:
We wrestling. We wrestling.
We got this. We got it.
Yes! We got this. [whoops]
MARY:
I'm hoping there's a horse.
-MARY: 408.
Where are the damn horses?
Please have some horses!
-Damn it. My Lord.
-CHRIS: Aah.
I don't see any horses.
[Chris pants loudly]
MARY: All the rocking horses
had been taken,
and that was a little defeating.
All right, so let's go
to Parque Hidalgo.
We are going
to switch Detours
and do "Pin 'em Down."
CHRIS:
It was disappointing
not finding the horses,
but we have a motto in our life,
and it's that, you know,
we've been through worse.
Little tired, a little hot,
little frustrated, but we are
-We're not gonna give.
-We never give up,
-and we have not given up.
-Till we step on that mat.
We are just gonna
try to do the next challenge.
MARY:
I'm gonna get to Hidalgo
and then ask for the park.
-JUAN: This is Corona Street.
-SHANE: Yeah.
-Now we're looking for 480.
-408. 408. Sorry.
-408. 408.
Look, it's the military guys.
Have you guys done
your Detour yet?
-BOTH: We're doing it right now.
-Where you going?
-To Corona Street, 408.
-Yeah.
-No horses.
-No horses?
-No horses left?
-So we got to do the other one.
-All right.
Yeah, so looking
for Parque Hidalgo.
-You want to stick together?
-Yeah, sure.
-Is that the other Detour?
-Lot of teams ahead of us, yeah.
-CHRIS: Yeah.
-Okay.
CHRIS: We should not have
told them that.
MARY: Well, I think
we need some help right now.
We got to ask for help.
-Before trying to get
-[Juan speaks Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
The other team
just went that way.
[speaking Spanish]
Okay. Gracias.
I probably shouldn't
have said anything,
but I'm probably too nice
sometimes for my own good.
-Yeah.
-But right now,
I see the other team over there,
and we're going this way, so we
got to step it up a little bit.
SHANE: Let's start
heading this way, man.
-Yes. Yes.
That team just went that way.
Dude, it's down here, bro.
It's down here.
JUAN: I don't I mean,
I wish them the best,
but I hope
they went the wrong direction,
-and gave us an edge.
-I think they did.
-Being his friend.
-Feeling a little bit better
in this dire situation
to at least, uh,
have them behind us, and
I don't know where they went.
-MARY: Not my problem. [laughs]
-[Chris laughs]
SEAN: Don't We have this.
-[yells]
-Uh. Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.
-I control you, horse!
You don't control me!
-I got it.
So definitely a workout.
Usually, I have a crew.
We met in 2014
at the Fire Academy.
1,800 people applied
for 16 positions,
and there was only three women.
Being a mother of three girls,
I think
it's important to show them
what two women can do together,
and that's my goal.
SUNNY:
We'll be able
to look back years after this,
and have our kids see this and
just think how proud they are.
I'm feeling this the most
in my forearms,
and my grip is so loose
'cause I'm sweating.
We're not giving up, though.
We're not giving up.
SHELISA:
It's okay. Let's cross, Derek.
Up!
No cobblestone. This is great.
SHELISA:
We are going to find embuste.
Don't know where that is.
But we're gonna look
for children.
DEREK:
And we're gonna
deliver these horses to 'em
and move the wheels
and receive our next clue.
ROHAN: We're finding
the Voladores along the Malecón.
Uh, this looks like the downtown
area to me, right, Maya?
MAYA:
Yeah, we might be starting
to get there.
That might be it.
Okay.
It's definitely tight, Rohan.
Yeah, you're gonna get stuck.
You're stuck.
You can't drive
Oh, my God. Okay.
We have to turn around.
MAYA:
Ooh, that's gonna make a mark,
Rohan.
You want me to do it?
-Uh, yeah.
-Can you navigate me?
A little forward.
A little forward. Stop.
Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop!
Okay.
Stop.
Stop.
-Rohan, I don't know what to do.
-Maya, I don't know what to do.
We're sideways. I don't know how
we're gonna get it back up.
CHRIS:
A little nervous that
the Army guys are
nowhere to be seen, but
MAYA: That looks like
a freakin' park.
[speaking Spanish]
[both speaking Spanish]
-Okay.
-[man speaking Spanish]
-That way.
-Huh?
MARY:
Damn it.
We're probably
behind the military guys.
We're a little nervous now.
[Juan and Shane panting]
SHANE: "You must be ringside
during wrestling match." Okay.
All right,
so, we picked this station,
but we got to be ringside.
[cheering, shouting,
whistle blowing]
JUAN:
Wait. Who are we
who are we looking at?
SHANE: Just watch.
Watch, Juan. Watch.
[referee speaking Spanish]
What the hell am I looking at?
[grunting]
-[whistle blowing]
-JUAN: It's over. It's over.
SHANE:
Well, whatever it was,
it's over.
-JUAN: We're gonna have
to watch that again.
-Okay.
DEREK:
Oh, here we go.
.-Here we go.
-SHELISA: You see 'em? Hi, guys!
La niños a la niñas.
La niños a la niños.
-Hi!
-Hola.
SHELISA:
Oh, there's a tool. [whoops]
-DEREK: [speaks Spanish] Ooh.
Okay. Gracias.
-Look at that!
-Now
-We have
to take these wheels apart
-to get our clue.
-And put 'em in a basket.
-SHELISA: Oh, underneath.
-Right tighty.
Come on.
Do you guys know
where you're going?
-I'm assuming
it's the other horses.
-Oh, man.
-Bobo, might be easier to push.
-MELISSA: No, I see it.
YVONNE:
You see it?
What's up, yellow team?
We're supposed
to be going to the left.
Watch how I'm doing it.
Hey, hey, hey.
Oh, gracias, señor.
-Thank you. Perfect. The clue.
-[whoops]
Thank you!
Oh, dude,
just get it loose enough
that you can do it
with your hand.
BAILEY:
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This girl actually knows
how to take these things off.
She's a badass chick.
-Okay.
-All right.
-Put these up, Derek.
-All right,
so all the screws, too?
And then we got
to put 'em in a basket.
-SHELISA: Oh, basket. Come on.
-Okay.
Ta-da!
-DEREK: Ta-da!
-SHELISA: Ah! Gracias.
-All right, let's go. Let's go.
-All right.
[whoops] Let's go.
-Thank you.
-What, do we got
to take off the whole wheels?
-Got it. Can I get a check?
-[whoops]
Yeah!
One hand. One hand. Yeah!
-All right, take the clue.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you, buddy.
Good luck, guys.
Look at what we have
for everyone.
-[whooping]
-[speaking Spanish]
Gracias. Okay, yeah.
Okay, M.
Mom, this way.
They're right here.
ROD:
You're looking for a rodeo
area on the left side.
-Rodeo's gonna be to the left.
-I think we're doing great.
I don't really see
too many other teams.
RICKY:
I think a lot of people
may not take us seriously,
but this is a very good leg
for us to push front.
-Set the tone. Set the tone.
-Set the tone.
We are headed to a rodeo.
I'm excited.
Left on Alameda.
Where are the signs?
There's no signs
on any of these streets.
-Oh, wait. Alameda!
-Yes! Yes!
-Alameda!
-Alameda!
Yes!
Take a left, baby!
Take a left!
-Okay, okay.
-[whoops]
ROHAN:
Stop. Stop, stop, stop.
Stop. Stop.
Stop.
I legitimately can't
do anything, Rohan. We're stuck.
ROHAN:
You're, like,
basically gridlocked.
I don't know how we're gonna
get out of this. Okay.
I don't know what to do.
-MAYA: I don't know what to do.
-ROHAN: Um
Do you want me
to keep going with it?
Huh? Yeah, we have to.
Stop.
Okay, this way.
Stop!
Oh, you might get it
with this one.
Okay, you did it. You did it.
I want to say, I'm proud of you.
MAYA:
That was one
of the most stressful moments
of my life, Rohan.
ROHAN:
We knew we were playing catchup
with just how long
it was taking us
to get from place to place.
We've always been raised
to be super competitive.
Maya, this is cal
Leona Vicario. We can park here.
MAYA:
We are both
competitive swimmers,
and I played competitive
softball for ten years.
We just need
to simmer down, focus
and get the task done
and move on.
Maya, we made it
to the first clue box.
-Come on, Maya.
-How bad is it?
Um, we're the last. Detour.
We're gonna pick "Pin 'em down."
SHANE: The two winged masked
guys were fighting each other.
-Was flight
-Volcano?
-I think Pyro was fighting
this guy right here.
-Okay.
All right, ref, check.
-No!
-All right. That was expected.
-CHRIS: Oh, there they are.
-This is exciting. [laughs]
I've rehydrated.
I'm ready to go.
-Grab that.
-Got it.
There we go. Okay.
Aw!
-Oh, that's so awesome.
Thank you.
-Aw.
[whoops] Let's go, Biz.
[Mary whoops]
CHRIS:
What are we watching for?
Oh, why don't you pick?
White is. white is fighting
robot. White is fighting robot.
-SHANE: That's mummy?
Mummy and robot.
-Mummy and robot.
-[whistle blows]
-SHANE: All right, all right.
Santa's fighting volcano.
Where's volcano?
-Here.
-Take him out.
-All right.
-CHRIS: Ah, blue with black.
I know that.
JUAN:
Oh, these two are fighting.
-Yeah
-These two just
Oh, God, I hope this is it.
Okay, so these are the ones
we know now
that we need to look for.
Can we get a check?
Can we get a check?
-Bravo!
-Yes!
-Hell, yeah!
CHRIS:
This is tricky.
-It's gonna be to the left.
-Oh, hey, look.
-It's purple team.
-Okay.
-All right, come on, bro.
-Let's go.
They're right.
ROHAN:
We picked the wrestling one
because it was
a memory challenge.
I have a bachelor's of science
in neuroscience.
I'm a biology major, and so,
studying is something
I have to do often,
and I like to think
I have a decent memory.
-We're not last.
-Gold.
-Gold.
-[whistle blows]
MAYA:
I got the back side.
You get this front side.
Watch them. Watch them.
You got that one?
ROHAN:
At least we're not in last.
-Come on, baby. There you go.
-A check?
-Something, something.
-All right.
-Hello, hello. Does it work?
-Oh! Test it.
-Yeah!
-Let's go.
Thank you. Good job, buddy.
-Oh, see over there?
-Oh, that's it right there.
-Look.
-Yeah.
-We're here, baby.
-We're here.
-We're here.
-Well, there's the clue
right there.
Roadblock.
"Who is feeling loopy?"
La Charrería
is a centuries-old sport
that tests
a horsemen's lassoing skills
along with their horsemanship.
This Roadblock requires teams
to complete a charro challenge
by jumping through a series
of seven spinning lassos
without knocking off
their wide-brimmed hat.
-Okay, I feel loopy.
I'll take it.
-Okay.
Hello, hello.
-Oh, yeah.
-CESAR: Roadblock.
-"Who's feeling loopy?"
-"Who is feeling loopy?"
-You.
-I'll do it. I'll do it.
RICKY: We decided
that everything here was going
to be a Roadblock
that Cesar was going to do.
CESAR:
I grew up in Mexico,
and the language, my home.
Language, your navigation,
all of those things just, like,
set him up for success here.
ROD:
Feeling loopy, baby!
When I arrived,
I had to wear a hat
and a little red necktie.
Hopefully, they got a big lasso,
'cause I'm pretty tall.
[mariachi band playing]
I'm here, baby!
Big rope, tall guy.
ROD:
I get over there.
"Oh, I'm gonna lasso."
And then I get out there
with my first guy.
Oh! My bad.
I didn't know you were ready.
And me and him struggling.
I'm like, "Buddy,
I'm six, three. I can shrink up,
but I need you to try to make
that rope a little bit"
You can shrink up?
Big hole, big hole.
Aw!
So close. It's all right, baby.
That's okay.
My hat.
♪
Aah! Go back here?
Oh, wow. You have
to start over every time?
-RICKY: Yup.
-CESAR: It's gonna be tricky.
Yeah. Big hole.
Yes! Good job, baby!
You got this!
-Hey.
-Oh!
Damn it. Dang!
-Focus, focus.
-Uno, dos trés.
Aah!
[whistle blows]
-MARY:
This one goes with this one.
-CHRIS: Yellow hangs down
-with silver face guy.
-Who was?
I know that this was with skull.
The blue guy was definitely
versus a white guy.
-So, do you want
to do another check?
-Yeah. Check?
-Yes!
-Yes! Yes! Yes!
Okay, they got it.
We are still in this.
MAYA and ROHAN:
Can we get a check?
Come on, come on, come on.
-Rohan!
-Yes! Yes!
-Okay.
-[speaks Spanish]
ROHAN:
Thank you so much.
You know, we're still in it.
Oh, yes, baby. Good job.
The boys-- they got there
right after us.
Every time
we made it to a challenge,
-a Roadblock, a Detour
-LETICIA: That's a team we saw.
ROD: Either they was
right there before us,
or they came right after.
So they really was our push.
LETICIA: Yes!
-ROD: Yeah!
-[Leticia whoops]
Yes. Good job, baby.
-[woman speaks Spanish]
-Pleasure. Thank you.
Let's go, baby!

-Eliminated.

-Do it give you a direction?
-No. No directions.
Okay, let's get out of here.
You got it.
Make it your last one.
Hopefully, this will go quickly.
Orange left two minutes ago.
Thankfully,
nobody's behind us.
He got it.

-Bye, guys.
-Hey.
Come on, Ricky.
We have a chance for first!
Yay, Derek! Focus!

He hates it. He doesn't want
to hear my voice right now.
He like [crows]
There you go!
Yes! All right!
-"Drive to your
very first Pit Stop"!
-Let's go.
KISHORI:
Right here. Oh, let me guess.
There's the Charro Miguel
"El Prieto" Ibarria!
Oh! God bless!
Let's go.
There are so many clues left.
KISHORI and KARISHMA:
"Who is feeling loopy?"
Wait. Loopy.
It's probably throwing rope.
It's probably the rope.
It's probably going like this.
-Are you good at that,
or am I good at that?
-I'm from Texas.
Okay, you do it.
Read the read the
Give me the info.
We need to read the
-I'm doing the Roadblock.
I made it.
-Okay.
Karishma, read it.
"You must wear the hat provided
by the handkerchief."
Okay, I need the hat.
KISHORI:
We're in Mexico,
she's half-Mexican,
her dad was from Mexico,
so this is her challenge.
♪
Oh, I wasn't ready!
Ugh!
Focus.
-[groans]
-Don't get discouraged.
You can do this.
I know you can.
DANNY: "Wear your provided
hat and handkerchief
at all time while performing
this Roadblock."
-Make sure it's on there tight.
-Yup.
DANNY:
So, I actually
do not like horses.
My mom took me to a pony fair
when I was little and
I fell off the little ponies
and was scarred from horses.
So, this task has me a little
shaking in my boots.
-All right, you got it, baby.
-[loud neighing]
Oh, look at the horses.
"Who's feeling loopy?"
-I can do it.
-You can you got it?
-Sure.
-Okay.
Oh, my God, everybody's here.
-Hello.
-Hey, sweet girl. How are you?
-Another teammate here.
-I know.
Oh. Aw!
You guys got this.
Just breathe.
-We'll have fun.
-What are we doing?
Let's go. Hey.
No. One second. Oh.
ANTHONY:
Anything that looks
like a rodeo around here, dude.
I don't know
how other teams are doing
navigating through this, but
Not No way everyone here

-Oh! Sorry.
I didn't even see that one.
-is great at maps.
-I'm sorry, guys.
Do you see
any road signs at all?
I did, but they aren't the ones
we're looking for.
MELISSA:
Here we go.
Keep it up. Keep it up.
Oh!
KISHORI: Come on, Karishma.
We're all rooting for you.
[cheering]
You did it?
Am I done?!
I didn't lose my hat.
Read the clue.
Where's my clue?
Just throw it.
"You must wear the provided hat
and handker" Handkerchief?
I don't have a handkerchief.
-BRB.
-KISHORI: Doesn't read the clue.
I knew this was
gonna be an issue.
-Oh.
-She doesn't
read directions carefully.
Oh. [groans]
KISHORI:
Karishma did all seven.
Didn't get the clue
because she forgot
to put the handkerchief on.
Fingers crossed
that there's a bunch
of other teams behind us,
and we'll be okay.
LETICIA:
We got this, babe.
We freaking got this.
We're doing amazing.
Time to fight it out.
We're heading to the Pit Stop,
and right now,
I call 'em "baby blue couple"--
they was
in front of us at first.
Now they're behind us.
I don't know how he did
with that competition, though,
'cause I don't know if he as
athletic as me, like Spider-Man.
Come on! [whistles]
-[Ricky chuckles]
-Oh, my God.
We're going for first.
Hopefully,
orange got a little lost.
ROD:
We're getting there, babe.
I'm feeling it.
It's coming up, it's coming up,
it's coming up.
Let's go, baby.
We almost here.
I don't know what place we in,
but we are almost here.
CESAR:
Oh, my God.
The tension.
ROD:
Oh, I see it right there.
The red sign, baby.
-There you go. There you go.
Right there.
-Okay. Parking.
Go. Go, go, go, go.
Oh, I think
we got action, baby.
Ah!
Ah! Let's go!
-Welcome to Puerto Vallarta.
-LETICIA: Gracias.
-Thank you. I appreciate it.
Gracias to you.
-Gracias.
-Thank you.
-Oh, Rod, you got a big smile
going on there.
-I do, man.
I'm just waiting on you
to give us some good news.
Oh, I think you are
the first team to arrive.
-[screaming]
-My guy! That's what
I'm talking about.
-[whooping]
-Good job, baby.
LETICIA:
When we first saw Phil,
I was so excited
for him to tell us,
"You won something!"
Where are we
What did we get?
-However
-Uh-oh.
-you are still racing.
-Oh.
-Oh, my goodness.
-I got another clue for you.
LETICIA:
I definitely didn't expect
for him to say to keep going.
Keep on racing.
ROD:
We was in first place, we had
a leg up on everybody,
so, we was just ready
to keep racing.
"Find your next clue
at the center
of the Iguana Bridge."
Okay. Give me something,
we'll shuffle these. Let's go.
-One, two, three.
-[grunts]
-Ricky and Cesar,
you are still racing.
-[gasps]
Here's your next clue.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Keep on racing.
-Thank you so much.
SHANE:
"Who's feeling loopy?"
-Who? I'll take it.
-All right, do it.
-Here we go.
-Here we go.
Gah! Darn it.
Oh!
Don't give up.
You can do this.
Oh, shoot.
Wasn't ready for it.
Wasn't ready for it.
All right, we're jumping
through the lassos.
"Jump" is our middle name.
Double Dutch Aerobics.
We own a studio
in Atlanta, Georgia--
the Double Dutch Aerobic Studio.
SEAN: Double Dutch Aerobics
is a formatted class
-MICHELLE: Yes.
-where we do exercises
inside the double Dutch rope.
MICHELLE: You know, we have
three kids, we have a business.
And so, something that's
exciting about the race for us
is it's gonna be the first time
where that's all
we have to focus on.
SEAN:
This is the time where
we get to see
who we are together.
-And I think
I'm gonna like it, right?
-[laughs]
MICHELLE:
You got this, babe.
Is someone looking for a cowboy?
I am! I am!
KISHORI:
The jump ropers got here.
MELISSA:
Oh. They're gonna kill this.
KISHORI:
Yeah, they're gonna kill this.
Oh, Shane! Let's go, bro.
Let's go. Ready?
Thank you.
SHANE:
I got lucky. I got super lucky.
JUAN:
He got it on the second try.
I mean, like,
Shane is an athlete.
We lapped all those teams.
Go get 'em.
SHANE: It was incredible
because, hey, we're
we're somehow back in this.
KISHORI:
Green team got here after us,
and they've already finished,
so feeling a little nervous.
Aah!
You're gonna get it, babe.
-All right, baby.
-Okay. Where's Phil?
Come on, Phil.
Where you at? Ah!
-I see him! [laughs]
-DEREK: There he is.
There he is.

-Ah
-Nice.

-DEREK: Whoa.
-Derek and Shelisa, I am pleased
-to tell you
that you're the third
-DEREK: I knew it!
-Third place! I knew it.

-Oh, my goodness. My goodness.
-Third place. Yes.
However, you are still racing.
-Oh! [mumbles]
-Oh, Phil!
-I got another clue for you.
-Here is your next clue.
-DEREK: Okay. Okay.
-All right!
Rip it, read it
and keep on racing.
-All right. Thank you.
-Okay. Thank you.
KARISHMA:
I was like, "I can't quit."
I had to do this for Dad.
I was like, I wanted
to make my dad proud.
-For Dad!
-KISHORI: Karishma, yay!
Yeah, Karishma, good job!
But the double Dutchers
are gonna
get it real fast,
so we got to go.
Jump back,
Jump forward, jump through.
-Oh!
-Aah!
When I messed up a couple
of times, I was like, "Uh-oh."
The way you jump
into double Dutch ropes is
you always want
to be close to the turner
before you get in because
if you jump in too far away,
you're gonna get caught
in the ropes.
I got into instructor mode.
I was like,
"Oh, okay. I got you.
I know what we're doing now."
-MICHELLE: You got it, babe.
-I know.
No, Danny!
MELISSA:
There you go. There you go.
[Melissa whoops]
[whooping]
Yeah! Oh, yeah.
I think we're very close.
ROHAN:
We know we're not
that far behind.
Anyone can have
navigational issues.
AMBER: The map, like, cuts off.
Like, it's so weird.
There's no road
leading to the rodeo.
-ANGIE: Yes.
-Yes! Come on! Come on!
Gracias, mujera.
Let's go, Mama.
This is obviously a dream
of mine,
and I just I'm really happy
that we get to continue.
I got to get you
to our Pit Stop.
-It's way over here.
-Okay.
And we're, like, over here.
-Oh.
-I know. It's so weird.
SEAN:
I was living my best life
out there 'cause I knew,
eventually, I'd get it.
[shrieks]
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Yes, yes.
Any road signs at all?
SEAN:
Hey, guys.
-Grab your clue, get your hat.
-Look, man. There.
-Dude, I'm
-Yeah.
-I'm real loopy.
-I think he deserves
to do this one.
ANTHONY:
All right.
[laughing]
BAILEY: We're not, like,
jeans and boots guys,
but we knew
we just had to get through.
-Thank you.
-And the fact he did it so fast,
-it kind of gave us a cushion
that we were looking for.
-Yeah.
[whoops]
Thank you!
Hey, that was good work, bro.
I don't feel like
we're in the back of the pack.
-I hope not.
-Like, we're fighting for last.
If we're getting lost,
you can imagine
that other people
are getting lost.
Here we go.
CHRIS: We got to gas it.
-Still in it.
-All right.
Well, I'm pretty good
at jump-roping.
I've jump-roped
all of my life.
I was, "Jump rope
for your heart"
when I was a kid.
And now, I even do, like,
just skip-jumps all the time,
so, that's a good
aerobic workout.
-Okay.
-Okay.
You're doing really well.
She's crushing the lassos.
[whoops]
I didn't even get to,
like, sit down.
-She crushed that so hard.
-Yeah.
[both whooping]
-VINNY: This is
-This just doesn't
look right, babe.
I don't know where we are.
Okay, let's
let's turn around.
VINNY:
This is so hard to find.
If you think you have what it
takes to win The Amazing Race,
got to cbs.com/casting
and apply now.
AMBER: Yeah, this
is definitely not right.
We're really lost, so
Señor. ¿Donde esta la rodeo?
[speaking Spanish]
It's closed.
This street is closed.
-We're on the right track.
-We just
-[speaking Spanish]
-We need to go around.
-Okay.
Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go, baby!
-[mumbles]
-Yes! Yes! Yes!
-Juan and Shane,
you are still racing.
-Oh, boy.
AMBER: Oh, yeah.
There's the rodeo right there.
-There it is. I see it.
-Yup.
VINNY: We're here.
We're here. We're here.
There's two. Shoot.
We're almost last place.
When we got there,
she looked at me with this,
you know,
"There's only one clue left."
It was this face of death,
and it was, like
-Oh, it was awful.
-And she said,
"You are doing it."
-You got it, Mary.
-I got it.
CHRIS:
It was really good
to see the dream team show up.
MARY:
We weren't in last place,
which pushed us
to keep fighting.
Oh!
It's okay, Mary.
You're doing good.
VINNY: When I felt that pressure
going into that Roadblock,
it felt a lot like work.
Like, when you have
a crashing patient,
and every heartbeat counts,
it's like, "Okay, it's go time."
Three.
Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah. I knew he would do it.
MARY:
When Vinny and Amber left,
we were so frustrated.
But when my mom passed,
that is, hands down,
the most difficult thing
that I've ever been through.
And if I can get through that,
I can get through anything.
-[shrieking]
-Oh!
KEOGHAN: Michelle and Sean.
Yvonne and Melissa.
Angie and Danny.
Anthony and Bailey.
-Sunny and Bizzy.
-Yes!
-You are still racing.
-Okay.
-Thanks, Phil! [whoops]
We're going down the same road
that we got here on
-so we don't
-Is that quickest, you think?
I wouldn't say
it's the quickest,
but it's the way
I can be assured.
Gracias. Thank you! Thank you.
MARY:
We're not out of the race yet.
ROHAN:
You think this is it?
-MAYA: Yes, 'cause
that's Chris and Mary.
-ROHAN: Yes.
As we were arriving,
we saw Chris and Mary
running out of the Roadblock.
They're probably going
to the Pit Stop,
-so we need
to speed through this.
-Yeah.
MAYA: Yeah, buddy!
Get it done, Rohan!
Yeah, Rohan!
-Yes! Thank you so much!
-MAYA: Yeah, Rohan!
Thank you. Let's go.
I'm so proud of you.
That was really fast.
Maya, they're less
than ten minutes out.
-We can still make it.
-If they get lost
-Uh-huh.
-we're good.
-We did it. Yeah.
-[whooping]
I'm really proud of Karishma.
I know her dad
is looking down at us,
watching, probably
giggling at us.
-Laughing at us.
-He's, like, giggling
at my Spanish.
You are still racing 'cause
I got another clue for you.
-Thank you.
-Okay, thank you.
VINNY:
Now that I'm thinking about it,
this road is actually
going opposite
of where we want to go.
So we're far.
Oh, man. We're still in this.
CHRIS:
I don't know how fast
I can book it
to the mat, but I'll try.
We're in absolute last place,
but the team before us
was leaving when we came in,
and I got the Roadblock done
really quick, so,
if they stopped for directions,
we definitely would be
in front of them.
[Mary speaking Spanish]
-[speaking Spanish] Mm-hmm.
-Okay. Gracias.
-CHRIS: Getting close?
-Hope so.
AMBER:
Babe, this is really bad.
We're just driving
in the opposite direction
-of where we need to go.
-VINNY: I need to catch
one of these turns
and turn around.
ROHAN:
Yeah. Malecón Centro.
Go straight.
We know exactly
where we're going.
-AMBER: Yup. Yup.
-VINNY: And I'll make
a U-turn right here,
and we'll be good to go.
Yup. Perfect.
We know it isn't over
until Phil tells us it's over.
You don't have to be first.
You just can't be last.
-[whooping, laughing]
-Yes! Yes! Yes!
Oh, my God.
Wow, look at that.
We have another team
-running in behind you.
-Yeah.
Amber and Vinny.
We are not eliminated.
-We are not eliminated.
-You are not eliminated.
Yay! Let's go!
-Man, let's go!
-Awesome!
All right, man.
Okay.
[cheering, whooping]
-It just wasn't our day, Phil.
-Wasn't our day at all.
Maya and Rohan,
you are the last team to arrive,
and I'm sorry to tell you
that you have been eliminated
from the race.
It's okay.
I know this was a dream
for you guys to come on
-to The Amazing Race.
-ROHAN: It really was.
-It was.
we've been watching forever
and ever and ever.
And so even just to get to run
one leg of the race has meant
It's been a dream come true.
ROHAN:
One of the things
that I'm proudest of
is we got through the day
without getting mad at
each other, raising our voice.
MAYA:
I can't have asked
for a better partner
to do this with.
I really can say
from this experience
that he is my ride-or-die
in life,
and I can't imagine my life
without him.
We were hoping to see what we
could do with our sibling bond,
and we're sad to go
because we really,
-Yeah.
-like, love the show so much
from the bottom of our hearts.
-Thank you, Phil.
-Thank you, Phil.
CBS
and TOYOTA.

KEOGHAN: Next time on
The Amazing Race
The race continues
in Puerto Vallarta.
Oh! I can't believe
we're still racing.
KEOGHAN:
Teams get mixed up
at the Roadblock
-Is this your first thing
you're coming to?
-No.
Wait.
There was something before this?
SHANE:
Detour before the Roadblock.
-We got to go.
-Oh, no!
KEOGHAN:
and the heat
-You okay?
-Yeah.
KEOGHAN: takes its toll.
I'm dizzy.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
