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.
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?
-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.
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.

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.
-404. -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. 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.
-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, 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.
-[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.
-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!

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,

-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.

Fingers crossed that there's a bunch
of other teams behind us, and we'll be okay.

We're doing amazing. Time to fight it out.

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.

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.
