PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on The Amazing Race...
Five teams dove into Stockholm.
[laughing]
KEOGHAN: At the Roadblock, Rob and Corey used
their Express Pass to jump ahead...
-Thank you. -GREG: They're doing it.
The boys just used their Express Pass.
KEOGHAN: ...while Todd and Ashlie
fell into last place.
Everyone's gone, and it's just me.
KEOGHAN: Greg and John unlocked a new skill at the Detour.
It's in French. I speak French.
KEOGHAN: Steve struggled to keep up with Anna Leigh.
Come on! They're gonna leave us!
KEOGHAN: A mad dash to the Pit Stop...
It's a footrace, Gregory.
-Yep. -We got to outrun them.
KEOGHAN: ...ended with a new pair of winners...
-You're team number one. -Are you kidding me? -No! No!
-No way. -No way!
KEOGHAN: ...and a farewell to Todd and Ashlie.
You have been eliminated from the race.
I don't need a million dollars.
I just need my family, so...
KEOGHAN: Would you like to know
-where you're going to next? -We would. -Yeah.
-Dublin, Ireland. -[cheering]
And the great news is you will be able
to book your own flights and hotel accommodation
using the Expedia app.
Take a phone.
It's an easy app to use.
All right, you ready to go to Dublin?
-I'm ready. Let's go. -All right.
-Let's get our flights booked. -Okay, Expedia app, flights.
-These are a lot of options. -A lot of options.
-Oh, here's one at 7:35. Do you want to book that one? -Yeah.
-Yeah, let's do that one. That one's early. -All right.
-Oh, let's get that one. -Oh. Oh, oh.
GARRETT: It's the most expensive one. Let's get it.
Let's take that one. [laughs]
ANNA LEIGH: Done.
Looks affordable in the right area.
-Let's go. -All right, cool. Let's go to Dublin.
This was actually really straightforward.
GREG: Yes, it was. Yes, it was.
-We're on our way to Ireland. -[whooping]
Route Info.
-"Fly to Dublin, Ireland." -Dublin, Ireland.
"Once there, drive to Forty Foot Sandycove and take the plunge."
Oh, boy.
KEOGHAN: The final four teams will now fly...
...one thousand miles from Stockholm, Sweden
to Dublin, Ireland.
-...leg of the race. -Let's go. Let's go.
Who's got a taxi?
-We're going to the airport. -Yes, please.
All right, let's go.
There's only one goal in the penultimate leg,
and that is,
"Don't get eliminated. Make it to the final."
I can start to smell the million dollars.
-[sniffing] Smell that? -[sniffing]
-Ah. -Oh.
Stockholm Airport, please.
-Okay. -Thank you.
We're gonna have to earn it today.
Everyone's gonna be on the same flight.
So it's just gonna be a dogfight today
in terms of, like, getting out as quick as possible
and kind of establishing your lead.
JOHN: Think of this as, like, there are only three seats left
in this game of musical chairs,
and the circle's just getting faster.
So we just really want to keep up
and make sure we get a spot.
GREG: Wow. Leg 11, baby.
Hello, hello. We need to go to the airport.
"Swim out to a buoy in the Irish Sea
to retrieve your clue." -Ooh. [laughs]
"You have zero euro for this race."
-Oh, we... -Let's go!
COREY: Pressure makes diamonds,
and we're ready to show out today.
ANNA LEIGH: We are going to Dublin,
and we're doing a plunge.
STEVE: We're all balled up together.
ANNA LEIGH: If we can get far enough ahead in the challenges
or Detours and not have to rely on our speed
and get in a footrace, then I think we'll be okay.
STEVE: We're real proud of the race we've run,
and hopefully it doesn't end today.
So we're gonna do the best we can to keep it going.
I hope it's warm there, 'cause we are Texas people,
-and the cold... -I can frog swim.
We don't do good in the cold. Yeah, we can both frog swim.
Let's go.
Thank you. Have a good day.
JOEL: Oh, there we are.
That's us.
There's one, and there's two.
[grunts]
JOHN: Top three,
here we come.
We're finding our pot of gold at the end of this leg.
Let's do it.
We're going to Dublin!
♪
KEOGHAN: This is Dublin, Ireland.
Home to Guinness, Trinity College
and this country's most successful rock band, U2.
Teams will begin this leg of the race
with a dip in the chilly Irish Sea.
Locals can't agree
on exactly how the 40-foot swimming hole got its name,
but there's no doubt that swimming here...
is a shock to the system
due to the water's freezing-cold temperature.
After putting on their swimsuits,
teams can walk down to the sea, making their way out
to one of these buoys to get a clue.
-Let's get to work. -Yep.
-Let's go. -Come on, Dad.
JOHN: We're looking for C. That's H.
JOHN: Here we go.
-All right, we got manual, peeps. -GARRETT: It's a stick shift?
JOEL: Yep, and I'm shifting with my left hand.
ANNA LEIGH: Exit to the right.
-Exit to the right? -Yep.
COREY: Going into this leg, my dad
had done all six of his Roadblocks,
and I had only done four.
We wanted to weight the final Roadblocks towards m,
thinking that they'd get harder as the legs go on.
There's definitely a little bit of pressure,
but this was our strategy.
-Try to not let all these cars pass you 'cause... -I hear you.
ANNA LEIGH: We thought that we were even on Roadblocks,
but I actually did six and he's at four,
so he's got to do the next Roadblock.
All I know is that water is gonna be frigid.
We're gonna be cold.
Being on the opposite side of the car
and having stick shift
on my left hand definitely feels different.
-Hey, Greg, how's it going? -Hey!
Hey, how is it going with the stick shift?
-The left-handed shifting? -Yeah, it's...
-I don't like it. -I don't like it at all.
-It's not natural. -[laughing]
ANNA LEIGH: Was that Castle Park?
I think it was back there.
-You think so? -Yeah.
Should I turn?
Yeah.
-Eden Terrace... -[turn signal clicking]
And the first street with... Ain't nobody on it.
ANNA LEIGH: You're going the wrong way.
-What? -You're going the wrong way.
-You want me to turn around? -Yes.
I don't know why you turned on this road.
Because you told me to turn around.
No, 'cause I told you to turn around, not turn left.
Well, I know, but I had to turn left. I couldn't...
-Just go straight. Go straight. -Oh, Lord, girl.
God, here we go.
Don't freak out yet. Don't freak out.
ROB: This is it-- Castle Park School. We're here.
Let's go.
All right. There's some teams here.
-At least one. -GARRETT: Oh. How'd they beat us?
We got to roll. Let's jog.
JOHN: Here's their car. Here's another one.
All right. So we're the third team.
GREG: Bust it out. Bust it out.
We need to find somebody to help us.
Well, wait, here's people.
Excuse me. We're trying to get to Castle Park School.
Okay, so,
we keep going right and then we go right on...
Castle Park Road. Okay, thank you.
Go for it, Dad.
♪
COREY: Let's change. We got this.
JOEL: All right, I see an arrow.
-All right, let's run downhill. -GARRETT: Hey!
I bet you that's the changing area.
All right, Smithe, move quick.
JOHN: A quick change.
ROB: Ooh! [laughs] Ooh!
Ooh!
Ah.
COREY: I'm no stranger to cold water.
Uh, I like to take ice baths
after a basketball game or something.
But that water was cold.
[laughs]
All right, let's do it.
GARRETT: Ooh!
Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, boy. -[whooping]
JOEL: Corey and Rob were just ahead of us
on their way out to the buoy, so we didn't hold back.
We jumped in that freezing cold water,
and, boy, I tell you, it woke us up.
[groans]
-ROB: Good. -Let's go. Let's go.
Almost there.
Oh. Oh, my goodness.
-Let's get to work, Gregory. -Come on, let's go.
[people exclaiming]
Ooh. Ooh!
-STEVE: This is parking, correctamundo? -Yep.
Park right here. Yeah, just park.
-Anna Leigh. -Sorry, Dad, but every team is here but us.
-STEVE: How do you know that? -'Cause I see their cars.
Let's go, let's go, let's go. Ooh!
Route Info.
"Drive to the Gaiety Theatre to find your next clue."
-That's it. Let's go. -All right.
"Drive to the Gaiety Theatre to find your next clue."
Okay.
Come on, Dad.
STEVE: Right here.
All right, the one with the red and yellow?
Ooh!
[indistinct chatter]
-Right now. Holy... -Yeah?
STEVE: We don't like cold water.
At home, we have a pool.
I don't get into it
unless it's body temperature, not 50.
That polar plunge is bad for people.
STEVE: My body temperature dropped about ten degrees,
and I thought I was going into shock.
We were last, so we knew
there was no room for mistakes.
I looked back at one point, and Dad's going so slow.
Like, is something wrong?
[Steve groans]
-[Steve groans] -ANNA LEIGH: I look back
at one point, and Dad's got both
of his shoes off, paddling backwards.
And I'm like, "What are you doing?"
STEVE: Well, I thought The Rock said
that having these shoes would help,
but as soon as I hit the water, you can't paddle.
They drug me down. I couldn't even swim.
So I had to get 'em off my feet.
On my feet, they were holding me down.
-Let's go. -[sighs]
ANNA LEIGH: Deadass last.
JOEL: This is it, home stretch.
COREY: We're looking for the...
parking lot we have to go to on Park Rite, Drury Street.
-Gaiety Theatre. -God, I don't know where we are.
-Somewhere in here. -Let's... Maybe we should get closer.
All right, get us here. All right?
-Let's get out of here. -You got the clue?
Yep.
All right, I think I got us.
Where the heck did Greg and John go?
We're in a race right now, and we don't have any phones.
We just have to find out how to get to this next...
If you could just Google this, it'd be so helpful.
-Dad, come on! -I'm coming.
-Hey, we are dead last. -I know.
-ANNA LEIGH: Hey, guys. -JOHN: All right. -GREG: Hey.
-All right, we'll see you later. Thank you. -Thanks so much.
JOHN: How was this swim?
-Horrible. -Horrible, right? -Yeah, it's cold.
-What about y'all? -So cold.
-Cold, cold, cold. -So cold.
-Yeah. -They're not too far ahead of us, too.
The other team. The other two teams.
-Go! Go, Dad. -I'm going. [panting]
GREG: I don't want them following us.
STEVE: I got to walk this hill.
-No! -[Steve panting]
-Dad, I'm carrying your bag. -I...
Let's go. If we can follow them out.
All right, see you guys there.
ANNA LEIGH: Where's the key? Dad, please
-get in and follow them! -Oh, God.
-We don't have time. -[panting]: Okay.
-Left or right out here? -Make a left.
ANNA LEIGH: See them up there?
-All right. -They're going left. Go!
GREG: Steven and Anna Leigh hadn't gotten directions
by the time they got into their car,
so I don't know exactly how they're gonna know
where to go unless they're right behind us,
which I haven't checked yet.
ANNA LEIGH: Don't be too obvious.
They're gonna know we're following right behind them.
We're dead last.
I hate following them, but at this point,
being so far behind and having to get out
and ask questions and then wait for everything else--
we just don't have time for it.
COREY: It's still a very, very tight race. No one's lost.
Everyone's, uh, still together.
So, it's anyone's game.
GARRETT: Because we were heading back to town,
which is where we came from,
we just rerouted the same way we came
and went back down to the freeway.
It's a lot more distance travel, but we are going a higher speed
with no stops or turns.
All right, let's just focus on navigating.
ROB: That one.
COREY: Park where we can. If nothing, go to level six.
COREY: We got this.
COREY: Time to rock.
Roadblock. I wonder who's doing this one.
"Who wants to get their steps in?"
KEOGHAN: Riverdance is
a high-octane version of traditional Irish step dancing
that has entertained billions around the world.
Launched in the mid-1990s here in Dublin,
it is now a global phenomenon,
with 12,000 performances and counting.
Professionals have the stamina
to perform like this for up to two hours.
This Roadblock requires teams to do just 30 seconds worth
here at the historic Gaiety Theater.
Once they can match the quick tempo of these pros,
they'll get a clue.
All right, let's do it.
-Hello. -Hello. -How are you?
All right, who's most excited to teach me?
-[laughter] -You were quick. Let's do this.
The energy-- that's what I needed.
-Hi. I'm Anna Mai. -Anna Mai? Corey.
-Yes. Corey, nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
We get upstairs, and I had to change into this
shiny, silky, green shirt, a cummerbund.
I've never worn a cummerbund before.
I had no idea how to put that on.
I might have to see what I can do
about getting me one of these shirts.
-I feel like I look pretty good. -[laughs]
-Yeah, it looks great. -Thank you.
So, have you ever Irish danced before?
-I have not. -Okay.
So, we're mainly looking for five key things, okay?
Posture, which is having our shoulders back.
Performance, which is always smiling
-when we're on stage, okay? -Ought to be easy.
Um, our turnout, which is, we turn out from the hip,
-being in time with the music. -Okey dokey.
And the last thing is just working as a team.
-Okay. -Okay.
The first thing we're gonna do is
we're gonna stand right foot to left.
We're gonna go point and point.
-Oh. Wait. -Hop step, back. So...
Five, six, seven, eight.
BOTH: Point, point, hop step back.
Perfect. That's it. That's the first section done.
The pacing of the steps...
Heel, two, three.
COREY: It was very, very intricate and particular.
-Then we go stomp. -COREY: You had to move certain feet...
-Toe. -at a certain time,
at a certain pace.
And then we're gonna go back
into our point and point, step and repeat it.
So, it was pretty complex.
-I'm getting the idea. -And you're getting the speed, 'cause
-when we go on stage, it's superfast. -It's gonna be fast.
GARRETT: You can back up another foot if you need to.
-I'll make it. -Suck it in!
[grunts]
Right here. Pedestrian exit.
-Guide us where we're going. -Yeah.
GREG: Steve and Anna Leigh are still behind us.
I think they might be going the same route that we're going.
So, we'll probably be with them for a little bit.
We're on Larchfield Road. We're backwards.
Yeah. I don't know if we peel off
and try to get better directions.
Hanging with them's not helping.
ANNA LEIGH: If we can figure it out
and get away from them, that would be awesome.
-[car rattles] -Oh, good Lord. That damn curb just sneaks up so quick.
Sir, can you help me with directions?
GREG: I don't see
-Steve and Anna Leigh. We might be free. -You're right.
-You're right. We might be free. -We might be free.
Especially if you know where you're going.
I am so sure.
MAN: Brooks Hotel.
-Brooks Hotel. Yep, yep, yep. -On Drury Street.
-Why not... -It's really easy.
You go that way for about two kilometers,
swing a right, then you're there.
-Thank you, sir. -ANNA LEIGH: Let's go.
-Ooh, yeah. That was parking. -That was the parking garage?
Yeah. So if you can make a U-turn.
-'Cause this is a dead end. -Okay.
Yep.
-Really sorry that happened. -GREG: Yeah, it's all right.
Clue box, Smithe.
Roadblock. "Who wants to get their steps in?"
-I do. -All right.
He wanted to do it, so I let him do it. He opened that clue up.
"Join the legendary Riverdance." -Oh!
-You -Okay. Let's go.
Come on upstairs.
Heel, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Stomp, toe. Point, point and step back.
All right. White shirt goes underneath.
-White underneath? -Yep. Bathrooms are down here.
Awesome.
I took a dancing class in college to meet girls
and all I tried to do was meet girls
and not learn how to dance.
So you're gonna do four skips to the front.
One-two, step, two-two, step,
three-two, step, four-two, step.
-All right. -Then from here,
you're gonna go stomp, stomp, step.
-Stomp, stomp, step. -Stomp, stomp, step.
Stomp, stomp, step.
And point.
-And toe. -And toe.
Cut, look.
-There you go. -Okay.
That's it. That's the whole thing.
-You got that super quick. -All right.
-Yeah? -Easy enough.
So we're gonna start with our right foot in front.
-Right foot in front. -Right foot in front.
-And we're gonna go point. -Point.
-And point. -Point.
-Hop. -Hop.
-Twist back. -Now, okay, do that one again.
The immediate thought that tried to jump
to the forefront of my mind was,
"You can't do this." But I continually
was pushing that thought to the sides
the entire time I was there.
Point and...
toe.
-You're going like this. Point, point. -All right.
It's easier if you just think
about putting the left foot forward.
-Okay, so point. -Yeah. And now swap them.
-Point. -That's it.
ANNA MAI: So if I'm doing it facing you,
I'm gonna go, and one, and two,
and three, and four.
Stomp, stomp, step, stomp, stomp, step,
turn and point and toe, cut, stomp.
-Okay? -It's very impressive watching you do it.
-Ah. -Just something...
Give you a visualize of what
-it's supposed to look like. -Okay.
-[laughing] -[laughing] Supposed to. Okay.
No, you're doing amazing.
Anna Mai was a fantastic instructor.
So helpful, so kind.
Very, like, supportive, and...
she was super cute.
[laughs]
ANNA LEIGH: Did you get your parking ticket and the keys?
-I got the keys, I got the parking ticket. -Yeah. Then just go.
-Lock your car. -I'm locking it.
ANNA LEIGH: And then go left. Run, run, run.
-Go, go, go. -Hey, there's the box office, Anna Leigh.
Oh.
Right there.
-Roadblock. It's you. -It's me.
-Read it. -"Who wants to get their steps in?
Steve and Corey must perform this Roadblock."
-All right, go. Inside. -STEVE: Go where?
-STEVE: Riverdance. -WOMAN: Hello. -MAN: Hello.
-STEVE: Hello! -WOMAN: Hi.
-All right. -Dad, pick one.
Here, give me your bag. Just focus on your...
-Focus on your Roadblock, please. -Let's go.
-Yeah? -Come on. You look friendly.
-Here. Let's go. Okay. -You can teach me some Riverdance.
-Read your clue. -Come on.
-I got it. -You got it.
-My name's Maeve. -Hi, Maeve. Steve.
Nice to meet you.
-[band warming up] -[dancers tapping]
ANNA LEIGH: Hey, guys.
As soon as I saw what this was, I was like,
"Oh, thank goodness Anna Leigh can't do this one."
-Have they already been going? -They're still practicing.
[Anna Leigh laughs]
Let's pick a spot.
-Should we go back here? -Sure.
So you're gonna learn the iconic Riverdancesteps.
-Okay? -Let's go!
Stomp, two, three.
-Stamp, two, three? -Yes.
-Stomp... two, three. -Stamp, two, three.
-Stomp. -Stamp.
-Yes. -JOEL: All right, let's do that again.
All right, let's go.
-You have the parking ticket? -Yeah.
JOHN: And you got the keys?
-GREG: Yeah. -Okay.
All right. It's right here.
-Yup. -JOHN: All right. Want to rip it?
-All right. Roadblock. -Roadblock.
GREG: "Who wants to get their steps in?"
-Want me to do it? -I kind of do.
Okay. All right, I'll do it.
GREG: You got it.
-Hey. -MAN: How's it going?
-Who's my height? You're my height? -Sure.
-Yeah. Okay, thank you. -Let's go?
Yeah, let's do it.
See ya.
-I'm Jordan. Nice to meet you. -Good to meet you. I'm John.
I run upstairs knowing that I'm in fourth,
and see a practice room of just
-well-dressed gentlemen. -Your costume here.
JOHN: Once I saw it was Steve doing the Roadblock
and Joel doing the Roadblock, I thought, "Okay,
this might be the opportunity to try to get a lead."
I figured I could just go as quickly as I can.
-Step, stomp, toe. -Where are my feet getting messed up?
Two, three.
Okay, I-I got lost.
Looks like every other team's here now, so it's go time.
MAEVE: Point and point.
-Hop on your right foot. -Hop.
Step back.
-Step back? -Exactly.
-Stomp, two, three. -Stamp, two, three.
-Stomp. -Stamp.
BOTH: Point and point, and hop step back.
Make sure when we do the point, it's your toe
-that's touches the floor. -Toe. Got it.
I studied music composition in college.
I've been playing piano
since I was, like, six years old.
I play guitar, I play ukulele, bass.
It's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
So when I found out we were dancing, I was pretty relieved
that there's a musical element and something that
I can pick up pretty quickly. It's a language, after all.
-Point and toe. -JOHN: Point and toe.
JORDAN: And stomp. That's it. Yeah.
-Okay. -Hey, go from the beginning.
Stomp, stomp, step, so your feet are together.
Behind, together.
So, six. I'm actually going seven, toe.
-Yeah, kind of. Yeah. -STEVE: Okay.
I don't do the line dance.
Now if we could slide like this, I got those.
[vocalizes] Stomp and point and toe, cut, stomp.
-Yeah? You look great doing it. -Thank you.
-Yeah, very natural.
COREY: Even if I don't nail it at the beginning...
All right, let's give it a shot.
There's only one way to see if I'm ready.
...the best practice
is gonna be in the theater
in front of an audience,
with all the pressure on.
I figure, with no one else in line,
let's start doing the thing.
So now we just need to get you some shoes.
So you're gonna try these on.
-Oh, heck, yeah. -Yeah, so we'll sit down here.
I'll grab mine.
This would be a lot harder
if there were pots on my head, I'll tell you that.
ANNA MAI: Okay.
So we're gonna stand this side.
Ooh, Corey!
-I'll count you in, okay? -Okey doke.
Okay, Sean, go.
ANNA MAI: Ready?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and
point, point and step back.
Point, point and step back. Turn, two,
three, four, five, six. Step, step, turn.
Point, point, hop step back.
Turn, two, three, four, five, six.
Step, toe. One, two, three, four.
Stomp, two-two, stomp, two-two.
Turn, tap and toe, cut.
[song ends]
[cheering]
Okay, Corey, well done.
Um, I think we just probably need to go again.
Stay as a team when you're coming up at the end, okay?
-COREY: Sounds good. Thank you. -Great.
COREY: I've never worn heels before.
That was fascinating.
I almost ate it so hard. I slipped.
I was like, "All right, we're not passing this one.
"But now I know what it feels like.
Be careful with the heels."
BOTH: Point and point, hop step back.
One, two, three, four, five.
And toe, cut, stomp.
And toe...
-Point? -Point, and toe, cut, stomp.
-Point, and toe, cut, stamp. -Yes.
-[Steve exhales] -You ready for the next bit?
We might as well get on to it.
Okay, so we have step, toe,
and then you're just gonna step on that step.
One, two, three.
STEVE: The kids have been born and raised dancing,
and it's all country-western dancing.
We do a lot of sliding. That... that hoppy
Riverdance wasn't something I was used to.
There was a learning curve there, and my feet kept wanting
to slide instead of jump.
BOTH: Point, point.
-Hop step back, point... -I got off.
Yeah. I think you're just sometimes
getting the hop step back wrong.
BOTH: And one-two-three, two-two-three,
three-two-three, four-two-three.
Punch down-two-three.
And stomp, point and toe, and stomp.
Okay, just the end-- point, toe, stomp.
-All right. -So it goes out the front, out the back. That's it.
-Got it. I might give it a go. -Yeah. Let's do it.
I'll be back probably, but we'll see.
-Okay. -Thank you so much.
-[music playing] -Ready?
Feel like it's gonna be a trial run, but it's good to know
-what music sounds like. -ANNA MAI: Five, six,
seven, and point, point, and hop back.
Point, point, and hop back.
Turn, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Stomp, turn. Point, point, and hop back.
Turn, two, three, four, five, six. Step, toe,
and one, two, three, four.
[vocalizing] Turn, toe, stomp.
Corey, unfortunately, that is a pass.
-Get down here! -COREY: Yes!
-[whooping] -ROB: A pass! A pass!
-Yay! -Thank you.
-You are such a good teacher. -You're welcome.
Corey finished. Good for him.
We still got Steve and Joel
kicking it up there.
-That's yours. All right? -[Corey laughs]
-That's your own. Well done, man. Well done. -Thank you. Thank you.
-Much appreciated. Thank you. -PADRAIC: Best of luck. Best of luck.
That looked tough.
-That looks so tough. -Yeah.
[indistinct chatter]
Okay, you're gonna be in center.
-Let's go, Johnny! -JORDAN: Yeah. -[whoops]

Thanks for working so hard, you.
The thing that I've learned in-- not just in this race,
but in life-- is that it's not about how hard you can hit,
it's about how hard you can get hit
and keep moving forward.
I was dumbfounded.
I couldn't believe that I had actually accomplished
this difficult thing because I never gave up.
-Route Info. -All right, let's go to Croke Park.

COREY: Stadium is on our right, though. That's...
-ROB: Oh, stadium. -COREY: Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Nice.
We got this.
ROB: Corey! Let's go.
From that moment on, I was inspired.
"Yes, you're right. Let's go."
Roadblock.
"Who's Got the Swing?"
This is sacred ground--
the world's greatest stage
for the ancient game of hurlin.
Dating back more than 3,000 years
as a way to train warriors,
it's considered by many to be the oldest sport in the world.
What's not in question
is that it's the world's fastest field sport.
The aim of the game is simple:
get the ball past the goalie in the back of the net
for three points or between the uprights for on.
To complete this Roadblock,
teams need to run down the pitch
then use a hurley to smash a sliotar
through the uprights to get their next clue.
Good job.
[laughs]
All right, let's do it.
All right. You got the biggest smile. I want you.
-Okay. Come with me. -Let's do this.
Here's your hurley, okay? Hurley. Hurley, okay?
This is your ball.
-It's called a sliotar, okay? Yeah. -A sliotar.
So for this Roadblock, I had to join a hurling team
and complete one of their drills.
MAN: You're gonna throw the ball up,
lock hands and roll your wrists, okay?
-COREY: I had to pass it. -There you are. Nice.
COREY: They passed it to someone else, who passed it back to me,
and then I had to catch it and balance it on the stick,
toss it up to myself.
Easy.
This is right up my alley.
ANNA LEIGH: I see one intersection but I don't see the other one.
I see the whole park.
You're gonna have to pull over to the side and ask somebody
for directions.
At this point, this is our only shot,
is to make sure we have these directions right, so...
STEVE: Anna Leigh, I know.
Let me just get out of the middle of the road.
I've never experienced anything like that dance before.
GARRETT: It's not very far away, is the issue.
I feel like we can navigate better than most teams,
but if it's close,
they might not have an issue with getting there.
COREY: All right, let's do this.
Nice. Excellent.
Go around the cone. Around the cone.
-[whistle blows] -Restart.
COREY: Okay. Around the cone.
-Ooh, that's too far. -[whistle blows]
-Nope. -[whistle blows]

-to check in will be..." -Should we just ask or should we...
We need to find St. Patrick's Cathedral.
I don't know what street it is...
Look for marked parking. Parking.
I see an arrow. Right here.
-It's got to be it. -STEVE: That's got to be.
"...from the sandwich boards located outside."
ANNA LEIGH: Right here. Start studying one.
"Day after day, we walk through. We walk through ourselves."
Oh, God.
Oh, Lord.
GARRETT All right. So, we're going to St. Patrick's Cathedral.
So we're gonna have a big park on our left.
We're gonna go past Stephen's Green Centre.
-We're gonna just stay on this street, Strasser. -Okay.
GARRETT: Until we get to where you did the Riverdance.
JOEL: Okay.
-ANNA LEIGH: Okay, I'm ready. -STEVE: I think I'm ready.
[indistinct chatter]
"Each imagining himself to be the first last
and only alone..."
James Joyce, Ulysses.
-[all cheering] -[laughs]
[whoops]
-Oh! -Thank you, sir.
-ANNA LEIGH: Thank you. -STEVE: Nice to have a crowd.
-Thank you. Let's go. -Thank y'all.
STEVE: Thank you very much.
"Make your way on foot to the park
next to St. Patrick's Cathedral and find Phil."
-"...the park next to St. Patrick's Cathedral." -Park next to.
Oh, shoot. We should have gone straight there.
STEVE: I kind of know where we're at. Get going, Anna Leigh.
ANNA LEIGH: When there's three other teams and they're all ahead of you,
it's really hard to be positiv. It's sad. It's frustrating.
STEVE: But you never know what's gonna happen at the end,
-so you got to keep going. -ANNA LEIGH: Yeah, you just...
Something could happen. So let's just see if we can get there
and maybe somebody else will make
a bigger mistake than we made.
♪
-JOEL: If we make this, we're in the final. -Yeah.
JOEL: Nothing else matters right now.
STEVE: This is St. Patrick Street.
I think this might be it.
JOEL: There's a park. Let's cross now.
Let's clear now before the bus.
-STEVE: Cathedral. Marsh's... -Marsh's Library.
-Keep going. We're here. -[panting]
JOEL: There's St. Patrick's.
[flute playing]
-GARRETT: Oh, beautiful. -Come on.
-GARRETT: Beautiful. -Eh? Come on.
-JOEL: Thank you! -I mean, take it in.
-JOEL: That was a welcome. -Beautiful music.
-St. Patrick's Cathedral. -Look at that.
Does it get any better than this?
-I hope so. I hope so, Phil. -It does. It does,
because you're gonna say we're team number three.
Is that what you want to hear?
That's what I want to hear.
-That's what you're gonna hear. -JOEL: Yes!
-Yeah! -Joel and Garrett, you are team number three.
-I am pleased to tell you that you are -[laughing]
-one of the three teams that will be racing -We made it, Strasser.
-to the finish line for the $1 million prize. -GARRETT: Oh, my goodness.
[laughs] We're in the final.
Man, I couldn't do this without him, for sure.
You, if you look at us, compared to the other...
12 teams in this race, we're probably a team that
most people thought would die out in the first couple legs.
But I want to be somebody
that it doesn't matter what I look like.
I can get out there and I can make things happen anyway.
-And I'm doing it right now. -Yeah.
All you got to do is beat out two other teams.
We've beat 'em both before. We'll beat 'em again.
[flute playing]
[panting]
KEOGHAN: Heavy breathing, Steve.
Yes, sir. Lots of legwork today.
-KEOGHAN: It was a big one. -It was a big one.
Steve and Anna Leigh, I am sorry to tell you
that you've been eliminated from the race.
-I fi... We knew it, girl. -We knew it. We knew it.
-We did good. -Yeah.
You beat out a lot of teams. Really competitive teams.
Not everybody gets to run 11 legs of the race.
-How are you feeling, Anna Leigh? -Just...
It's the worst feeling in the world.
To feel dead last. Like, I hate this feeling.
But I'm-I'm proud of us for how far we've come.
I don't... I don't regret it at all.
We don't have a lot of time to spend together these days
that she's got older, and it's a blast.
He took risks that he would have never taken before,
and just this experience has been amazing.
I mean, getting to do it with Dad, I just...
-[voice breaking]: I don't want to be done. -[laughs]
I don't either, girl. That was a lot more pulling than pushing.
ANNA LEIGH: Maybe this will be a chance
for us to try new things together going forward.
This is the adventure of a lifetime.
We will never get this opportunity again,
but you can't keep racing forever
and all things that are good must come to an end.
STEVE: I've done things here that I would have never done,
have never done.
It's etched in stone, and it's gonna be something
that we take with us the rest of our lives.
There's nobody I'd rather run it with, but right here.
We gave 'em hell, didn't we?
ANNA LEIGH: Mm-hmm. We did.
KEOGHAN: Now only three teams remain in thisAmazing Race.
Let's go!
We are so excited heading into the finale.
-[exclaims] -We proved that we can do it.
We can win a leg. We can beat all these other teams her.
This is putting the deaf community
in a spotlight that it's ready for.
-Yeah! -Yes!
[laughs]
[whoops]
-Let's go, Gregory! -[Greg laughs]
We are an unstoppable force.
-Yes. -Yeah.
After eleven legs...
-You got this. You got this. Come on, man. -Yeah. Okay.
GREG: We learned, like, what works, what doesn't work.
-We were ahead for so long. -I know.
And then he just, like, dropped back.
-Johnny! -Oh, sorry. No!
Whoa. Whoa!
JOHN: For the other teams to have one win each
is cute. [chuckles]
But it's not enough to get you to first on the last leg.
We've done it four times. What's a fifth?
We've been the team to beat.
We are the team to beat.
It's ours to win.
Fast, fast, fast.
I might poop my pants with joy.
The only reason we're sitting here
in the top three going to the finale...
Oh!
JOEL: ...is because every time misfortune came our way,
we chose to laugh about it
instead of whining about it, and keep going.
We're fairly certain we're in last place right now,
-but we're having fun. -...one!
-No! -Are you kidding me?
We've proven that we're meant to be here.
And we've got some tough teams in the competition still,
but we have what it takes to win. We've beat 'em before.
We can still beat 'em.
We can do this thing. We're...
We're here to win The Amazing Race.
We are 100% gonna win The Amazing Race.
