PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously onThe Amazing Race...
13 teams began a European adventure.
Go.
-Orange you glad to see us?! -Orange you glad to see us?!
KEOGHAN: Some ofBig Brother's most memorable personalities...
[both laughing]
KEOGHAN: ...and biggest competitors...
-Knock it out the park, dude. -[whooshes]
-Bah! -Let's go.
KEOGHAN: ...paired up with their favorite traveling companions.
TUCKER: I brought my brother.
ANGELA: This is my daughter Lexi.
Here representing with my best friend, my little brother Jack.
KEOGHAN: Along the way, they experienced thrilling highs...
I love The Amazing Race!
-Let's go! -Oh!
KEOGHAN: ...and heartbreaking lows...
Please don't cry. Plea... Please don't cry at all, Simone.
-That's okay. -Please don't cry.
KEOGHAN: ...made strategic moves...
-Let's do Izzy and Paige. -JAS: We know that
if they got to the board first, they were gonna U-Turn us.
KEOGHAN: ...and plenty of mistakes.
No, we didn't get the... We got off at the wrong station.
Oh, shut up!
KEOGHAN: Nine teams came up short.
Jack and Enzo... Angela and Lexi...
Megan and Matt... Kat and Alex...
Hannah and Simone... Kristine and Rubina...
Natalie and Stephanie... Tucker and Eric...
Jack and Chelsie, you have been eliminated from this race.
In the last leg,
the final four race to Paris, France.
And if we can go very fast, we want to beat these other teams.
-You did a great job. That's perfect. -Oh, my God.
KEOGHAN: Once again, Jas and Jag led the pack...
Good work.
You are team number one.
-Let's go! -Oh!
KEOGHAN: ...winning their fourth leg in a row
and a spot in the final three.
Kyland and Taylor got off to a slow start.
Oh, this traffic is rough.
But Kyland overcame his biggest fear...
Wow. Well done.
I'm not a dancer, so-so I'm a little emotional.
KEOGHAN: ...to help him and Taylor claim their spot
in the final leg.
You are team number two.
Clinching our spot in the finale.
Oh, we choked.
KEOGHAN: Joseph and Adam couldn't find the beat.
Aah!
That was a lot.
KEOGHAN: And Izzy struggled at the Roadblock.
KEOGHAN: Now these two teams are racing to the Pit Stop
for a place in the final three.
First and third, they're-- doesn't matter on this leg.
-They're the same thing. -I know, I know, I know.
We're fighting for our spot in finale,
and we're praying that this pays off.
-We're gonna get out here. -Merci.
-Thank you. -[speaks French]
Come on, Adam. Phil, where are you?
He's not here.
This is it.
He has to be here.
Maybe it's down there, Adam?
Uh, we hope that other teams
are doing poorly with the Scramble.
Um, we love Joseph and Adam, but...
JOSEPH: Maybe he's down here, Adam.
ADAM: Joseph, we might be going too far.
JOSEPH: I don't see him.
We might be in the wrong direction.
ADAM: That's what I'm saying. I think we have to go back.
Let's go back across.
PAIGE: This is where we say au revoir.
IZZY: Merci. Merci.
It's around here. Let's go.
-PAIGE: Okay. -IZZY: Yes, yes, yes. Go.
Oh, no. I'm looking for Phil.
I don't know if we're gonna find him.
IZZY: Oh, I see him, I see him, I see him!
I see him, I see him. Let's go. I see him.
Phil!
Phil.
Joseph and Adam.
Don't give me an eyebrow
unless we're running for a million dollars.
This eyebrow is for third place on this leg.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
-Aah! -[laughs]
ADAM: Let's go.
We have put our blood, sweat, tears, sugar,
-Everything. -everything we have into this,
and we are gonna bring that money home.
-[laughs] -Hello.
[Izzy laughs]
-Hey. -Hi, Phil.
I just want to say
that I'm so proud of this woman.
I don't care what he says next,
because you're the love of my life
and I think you're excellent.
Izzy and Paige...
Yeah, that's the tone.
...you are the last team to arrive.
-And unfortunately, -Yeah.
your Amazing Race has come to an end.
IZZY: This is something we never thought we would do.
And... and now I can't
imagine our life never having done it.
You have so much to be proud of.
We're really honored
-Yeah. -to be here. Thank you.
It was really a privilege. Thank you.
We joked that when I first got the call forBig Brother,
the first thing we said to each other was like,
"Okay, but we ain't never doing The Amazing Race."
[Izzy and Paige laugh]
We were really scared to do this, and we thought
we would never do it, and we thought we could
never do it.
I'm gonna think about the race every day.
PAIGE: I'm gonna take, like,
a week off, and then...
Yeah, then I'll probably feel about the same.
I'm... I'm an all-in person.
[both laugh]
KEOGHAN: Now, only three teams remain in thisAmazing Race.
This feels like The Amazing Race.
JAG: We came into the race not really
knowing how we would perform,
and at this point, we've had six first places.
Let's go!
-You are team number one. -Let's go.
JAG: We're the only team that have
won a leg of the race,
so we feel confident in our abilities
to keep doing what we've been doing.
We're not gonna put our foot off the gas pedal now.
-TAYLOR: Oh, I got it. -Let's go!
TAYLOR: The journey to get to this position has been
a ride.
It's really hard to find anything around here.
Clawing our way to the top.
-Yes! -KYLAND: I believe in you, baby.
You got this.
TAYLOR: It's just confirmation that
when we work in tandem,
we can accomplish anything.
-Let's go! -We got the Express Pass!
Whoo!
We're ready for this moment, and we're ready to get this win.
-We got a big hug for you, Phil! Phil! -No, no, no. No, no. No, no.
ADAM: We've had severe highs and lows in this race,
even coming to the point where we were almost eliminated.
KEOGHAN: This is a non-elimination leg,
and you are both still in the race.
ADAM: We're facing these strong competitors,
we're facingBig Brother winners, and then, on top
of all that, Joseph and I have to deal with my diabetes.
My sugar might drop, but this is a real drop, so,
orange juice is needed now.
Our grit and perseverance has paid back tenfold.
We just need to win one leg to win this race.
JOSEPH: And the most important leg is coming up.
You are looking at the next winners of The Amazing Race.
We are going to win The Amazing Race.
We're gonna win The Amazing Race.
-Let's see. -Route Info.
"Fly to your final destination:
-New York City." -New York City.
KEOGHAN: The final three teams will now fly west,
across the expansive Atlantic Ocean,
to New York City.
"You've got $550 for this leg of the race."
-Let's go. -Wow. Let's go.
JAG: New York City.
We're at the final leg, finally.
JAG: We need to get to the airport.
JAS: So, so far we've had six wins.
But we're not counting any of the other teams out.
We just have to run
the strongest leg that we've ran yet.
Jag and Taylor have this, uh, winners, you know, sort of...
-Battle royale. -battle between them.
Um, who could be the first, you know,
person to win Big Brother and The Amazing Race.
-Yeah. Merci. -Merci. Merci.
TAYLOR: We've taken out titans before,
so I know we can do it again.
JOSEPH: It all comes down to this leg.
JOSEPH: Adam and I have zero room for error.
KYLAND: We are running against incredibly strong teams,
so we have to be on our A game.
-JOSEPH: Here we go. -We're off to New York
with Jag and Jas and Adam and Joseph.
ADAM: New York, here we come.
♪
New York is known as the gateway to the world.
Forty percent of this country's population are descended
from immigrants who arrived here
at Ellis Island.
Known as The Big Apple,
this city is a symbol of excitement,
opportunity and success,
something the final three teams will get a shot at
when they race to the finish line.
-KYLAND: It's all you, babe. -TAYLOR: Go, go, go, go. Taxi!
-Taxi, baby! -Taxi, taxi. -Taxi, taxi.
JOSEPH: Finale, let's go!
-Taxi, taxi, taxi. -Taxi, taxi, taxi.
Babe! Right here, right here, right here. Okay.
-Hi. Empire State Building, please. -Hi.
JAG: Empire State Building? Thank you, thank you.
We have to hurry. We have to beat the taxi
in front of us. Please, please, please.
-Good job. -Yes. Whoo!
-Thank you so much. -Don't let them get in front.
Follow them. We need to beat that taxi.
-TAYLOR: Yes. Whoo! -KYLAND: Whoo.
-KYLAND: What's your name? -Luka.
-You're on the purple team now, all right, Luka? -Be purple, Luka.
Adam and I are going for our first first.
Our momentum's high, our energy's high.
Our speed limit is low, low.
What's your name?
-Pardeep. -Pardeep? What's up?
JAS: By chance, having a Punjabi Sikh taxi driver--
that was huge.
ADAM [laughing]: Let's go.
Oh, wow. Look, they're going...
If you could please make sure
-that we keep up with them. -ADAM: Yeah.
JAS: Oh, my God.
This is our brother right here.
JAG: And he is just, like, on our side.
JAS: The-the entrance is gonna be on this side.
It's right there.
-It's right there, Jaga. -JAG: Okay. I see.
JAS: Okay.
JAG: Okay, let's go.
We got to go.
JAG: Right here.
Oh, there's the clue. I see the clue box.
-All right, let's go. -On the left right here.
-JAS: Okay. -First team here.
-Route Info. -Route Info.
"Rappel down the Empire State Building
from a height of over 1,200 feet to receive your next clue."
The Empire State Building is the most photographed building
in the world, the world's most famous building
and the number one Uber destination.
Towering 1,454 feet above the city,
only 20 people have ever rappelled from the top.
But that will all change today
when the final three teams make the descent of their lives,
rappelling from the 103rd floor
to the 90th.
They'll then
pick up a clue and keep on racing.
-All right. -Let's go.
JAS: Final leg. This is for a million dollars.
Million-dollar jog.
We both like heights and we both like
the adrenaline and the thrill.
1,200 feet.
We love this kind of stuff, so...
This is gonna be...
This is gonna be pretty incredible.
-Hope you're ready. -Oh, wow. I feel my ears pop.
-Ears. -Yeah, it's gonna happen.
-[laughs] -First team here.
Let's keep the momentum going.
We will be back as fast as we can.
-TAYLOR: Ooh. -KYLAND: Okay.
-There's the clue box. -TAYLOR: Clue box.
-"Rappel down the Empire State Building -Yes!
"from a height of over 1,200 feet
to receive your next clue." Let's do it.
-I'll take you. -Thank you very much.
-TAYLOR: Thank you so much. -What your name?
-Shavonne. -Shavonne. Thank you, Shavonne.
TAYLOR: Shavonne, nice to see you.
JAS: This is so cool.
JAG: We're at the Empire State Building.
Whoo! Yeah, we are.
Let's go.
Oh. Oh, my God.
I haven't gotten to do a height challenge yet,
so I'm pretty stoked.
-We haven't seen any -We don't see any of them,
-of the other teams. -which is good news.
JAS: Any leg up we can get, we'll take.
One thing Kyland said he wanted to do
on this entire race, it was rappel down a building.
KYLAND: How many people have rappelled down
the Empire State Building?
-Right. -Two more are about to.
JOSEPH: I definitely think that
right now, they believe this is a battle
for first between twoBig Brother winners, but
that is gonna be the biggest mistake those two teams make.
There it is.
"Rappel down the Empire State Building
"from a height of over 1,200 feet...
-of over 1,200 feet to receive your next clue." -Okay.
ADAM: Holy crap.
Ooh, I know. [laughs]
I know I'm happy. I know you're not. [laughs]
ADAM: Joseph is an adrenaline junkie.
-Yeah. -JOSEPH: You got it.
Don't overthink it, Adam. Don't get in your head.
I wish I could take his spot.
I know he's terrified of heights.
1,200 feet, baby.
ADAM: So when he says things to me
about height challenges,
I'm like, "Be quiet, crazy. Go get some help."
[panting]
Ooh, this is about... This is about to be a scene.
MAN: You're gonna feel
how much pressure you need to pull that for this to move.
There you go.
-There you go. -You got it. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Thank you so much. Bye. -Thank you so much, Shavonne.
-Hello. Hi. -Hey.
[speaking indistinctly]
-TAYLOR: Thank you so much. -I'm Carlos.
Kyland and Taylor just showed up.
Have fun, guys.
-KYLAND: You too. -TAYLOR: You guys have fun!
There's the safety. That's gonna be the main.
KYLAND: We are getting ready to rappel
and, uh, putting on all the gear and trying to catch up
-to Jag and Jas, who we just saw head upstairs. -TAYLOR: Yeah.
JOSEPH: Breathe out. Look at us go.
Look at us go.
-Yes. -Don't worry.
-Buddy, you got it. -Oh, my God.
-You got it, baby.
ADAM: We get to the top floor.
-Now I'm really getting scared. -MAN: Well, let's get you all
-harnessed up, get going. -ADAM: Yes, sir.
I just wanted to get this done
and get out there as soon as I can.
MAN: Nervous?
JAG: This is wild.
♪
MAN: Take one step a little closer.
JAG: Woo-hoo-hoo!
-MAN: Good? Good. -Yup.
JAG: About to go down the Empire State Building.
JAS: Of all the buildings
in New York,
it's the Empire State Building
that we're rappelling off of.
Like, that is so cool.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
We're over a thousand feet in the sky.
Whoo!
I've never seen anything like this before.
JAS: This is so amazing.
I need Jag to rappel faster so I can go next.
JAG: Whoo!
Wow.
Wow, wow.
Like, this is just so beautiful.
Whoa.
That's crazy.
Oh, my God.
-MAN: Watch your head here. -TAYLOR: Yup.
So you're gonna put your safety on. First thing first.
-We're doing that? -Yeah.
-We're-we're gonna be right there with you. -They're doing it, too.
-Your right hand stays on here. -JAS: Yup.
Your left hand goes on this lever. Good job.
-Slow is fast. -Slow is fast.
Yes, sir. Woo-hoo-hoo!
Oh, man.
JOSEPH: Oh, look who it is! Adam.
-He's doing it! -ADAM: I'm not looking, man. Leave me alone.
JAS: Woo-hoo-hoo!
While I was rappelling down, I paused
for a second and took in my view.
This is so gorgeous!
This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
JAG: Man, he's going slow as hell.
Hey, Jasu, we're still in a race. You remember?
JAS: Oh, yeah!
-MAN: Come up here. -KYLAND: All right. Over here.
I'm so excited. This is amazing.
We're in second place right now,
but where we need to be is first, so,
hope we can keep closing that space.
JAG: We're racing for a million dollars. Come on.
JAS: I'm coming!
JAG: You finally learned how to rappel at the very last moment.
JAS: We went from the 103rd floor...
Good work.
JAS: ...to the 90th floor.
Wow.
So we went down 13 stories.
-Thank you. -Oh, my gosh.
Thank you so--
-All right, awesome. -You got it.
JAG: All right, let's do this.
TAYLOR: Let's go, baby.
Whoo!
KYLAND: Oh, my God.
I grew up deathly afraid of heights
and kind of pushed past that in, like, my late teens,
and really aggressively found ways to attack it.
And now it's, like, this is another level.
Go slow and steady.
And you're looking at all the iconic New York skyline
from a bird's-eye view so few people ever get to see.
JAS: Such a beautiful view.
-We're in the front of the pack. -We're in the front of the pack.
JAG: We're trying to maintain that.
I was happy to take it in, and now,
we're back into race mindset, so...
Yup. Racing. We're racing back.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
KYLAND: I will never forget this.
JAG: It's incredible.
-Okay. Route Info. -Route Info.
Sesame Streethas entertained children around the world,
including myself, for more than 50 years.

Good to see you. Welcome to Sesame Street.
-It's lovely here. -Yeah, thank you.
Oh, me so excited to be part of The Amazing Race.
Yeah, so you know what me did?
Me sent the teams to a store
to pick up a special package to bring it back here.
Yeah. Oh, me so excited.
Who is going to be first?
-The drama. -Oh, suspense.
Yes. Oh, me no can take it.
Oh what would we going to do while we wait?

[munching loudly]
-Okay. -Okay, let's go.
JAG: Let's find Pardeep.
-That our boy? -There he is. Let's go, let's go.
Our boy waited.
We told him we would be back,
he told us he would be here, and he was here, so...
So I would say we're in an alliance with him right now.
-JAS: Yeah. -JAG: Let's maintain this lead.
TAYLOR: We're in second place.
I just got to get down the building
before anybody else can.
-JOSEPH: Adam. -I don't want to talk right now.
I literally feel like I'm dying. [groans]
-Are you going with me? -No, sir.
ADAM: Oh, my God, Joseph.
Yeah, I'm right here with you, Adam.
ADAM: [gasps] Now what do I do?
Turn around and lean into your harness.
ADAM: Now I'm really scared.
MAN: Just sit down.
Oh, my God.
Aah!
TAYLOR: Stepping off, baby.
-Here we go. -KYLAND: Good job, babe.
TAYLOR: Whoo!
Sit down into it. It's gonna resist you.
-There you go, buddy. -MAN: There you go.
ADAM: I'm not looking at Joseph.
I'm looking at my shaking legs and feet.
Let go a little bit.
Now kick your feet against the building.
-MAN: You got this. -JOSEPH: Kick off.
There you go. Now walk down.
-[Adam gasps] -MAN: It's okay.
-No. -MAN: You're okay.
[Adam exclaims]
[exclaims]
-JOSEPH: Put it all the way down. -MAN: Yup.
-JOSEPH: Bring it back. -MAN: And now go again.
JOSEPH: And then inch it.
-MAN: You got it. Beautiful. -JOSEPH: There-- Slowly.
ADAM: I would have never thought
that I would rappel down the Empire State Building.
Am I there yet?
JOSEPH: Yeah, almost. Keep going.
ADAM: I'm still so high up.
JOSEPH: I'll meet you at the bottom, buddy.
-ADAM: Yup. -JOSEPH: Slow and steady. Good job.

JOSEPH: Good job, buddy.
I cannot believe Adam's on the side

We definitely have a little catching up to do.
We saw Jag and Jas leave here.
So I'm feeling optimistic.
-We can catch up. -[elevator bell dings]

JAG: Yeah. Just keep going, man.
Just keep it up.
JOSEPH: Let's go!

Slow and steady.
I'm very proud of him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why am I stopping?
You're good. You're good.
You did it!
-Whoo! -Am I done?
TARA: Yes, you're done.

KYLAND: So we just left the Empire State Building.
We got our man Luka here, and he's taking us around the city,
so we're hoping to catch up.
Can't let her lose. I mean, she's a winner.
-Oh, my God. [laughs] -She's a winner nonstop.
I can't be the one to bring her down, so you know, today...
And I can't be the one to have you continue your track record.
This is the curse-breaking leg for Kyland Young.
Today is the day that you and your name are etched
in history as a champion.
ADAM: Almost there. Come on, baby. Come on.
JOSEPH: I'm going.
Whoo!
-Whoo! -We did that.
Now we got to go win this thing.
Congratulations. Here's your next clue.
[whooping]
-Thank you. -Let's do this.
Adam, you did that.
ADAM: Crazy.
JOSEPH: That's nuts.
JAG: Okay, so we go

He is an expert now. I'm very proud of him.
We know we're in third place right now,
but that's not gonna stop us.
We can pass one of them in a taxi.

He knew our names.
Catch your breath while me indulge.
-Ah, num. Num. Num. Num. -[laughing]
Nummy, num, num.
JAG: He annihilated that cookie right in front of us,
and it was just such a cool, like,
childhood moment to experience that.
Like, I felt like a kid again.
How do you like New York?
-Oh, we love it. -It's pretty incredible.
We just rappelled down the Empire State Building.
-Unbelievable. -Yeah. -And we're here in one piece.
-COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, you made it. -Hey.

Can you go ruin some other grouch's day, huh?

Thank you. Have a great day. Come on, Joseph. Come on.
We're back, sir. We're quick.
Now 1900 Broadway.
There's a lot of leg left,
so there's plenty of time left to close that gap.
-KYLAND: Can you wait? Perfect. -TAYLOR: Great.
We will be back as fast as we can. Let's move.
-1900 Broadway. -Yup.
KYLAND: See a sign. Go.

-We're thrill-seekers. Oh! -Hey.
You finished with your little tea party over there?
Or are you gonna chitchat some more, huh?
-Here, I got something for you. -What you got? Aah!

KYLAND: That was so cool.
JOSEPH: 1900 Broadway. Let's see what's waiting for us.
Broadway. Oh, there's Kyland.
-I just saw him running. -TAYLOR: Go baby, go.
JOSEPH: Can you wait? If you can't,
if we don't come out, you can leave. Thank you.
ADAM: Joseph, what floor?
They're already leaving.
"Proceed to the fourth floor."
KYLAND: We're going to Spandex House.
I don't know if you know where that is.

-Ah. Num, num, num, num, num. -[laughing]
Num, num, num, num, num, num, num, num.

Only if you promise to lose. [chortles]
One million cookies.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy, oh, boy.
-ADAM: "Spandex House." -"Spandex House
to find your next clue." Let's ask our taxi driver.
Is he still there?
Yeah, he said he was gonna wait for five to ten minutes
to see, if it's quick.
Hey, there's no one waiting.
-We have to go fast. -I don't see a taxi, Joseph.
-Uh, no taxi. -Um, is he not waiting over there? Right here?
-Said he was gonna wait. -No.
It looks like he didn't wait for us.
Someone in here? Taxi?
Excuse me, sir.
Oh, okay. Is this right here?
-Taxi? No? -No.
We never have luck with taxis.
Okay.
If you'd like to go to amazing places
and meet amazing new friends
-like Cookie Monster, -Aw.
then go to cbs.com/casting and apply now.
Yeah, the world is waiting for you.
-He said he was gonna wait. -There's no taxi.
JOSEPH: Aw, this is why it was important
for us to keep that taxi.
-Right there, in front of us. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just get in. It's about to turn green.

Okay.
Route info.
KEOGHAN: Many of the groundbreaking designs seen
at the world's most exclusive fashion show,
the Met Gala,
originated here in New York's Garment District,
a legendary hub of fashion, creativity and manufacturing.
The fabric stores and fashion schools here
attract the best designers in the world.
Here at Spandex House, teams must
pick up an order form with five different fabric swatches then,
paying careful attention to detail,
search this enormous fabric store to find them.
Once they've picked up a total of 16 bolts of fabric
and loaded them onto carts,
they must make their way through the busy streets
11 blocks and deliver them to the students
in front of the Feldman Center
at the Fashion Institute of Technology for a clue.
-Let's do it. -Cool. Let's do it.
All right. You want manager?
Manager. Uh...
JAG: Can we see the different swatch cards,
-please? -Yes.
-Yes, here. -Um...
Thank you. And we have to choose one.
So let's-let's be careful about this.
I like this color pur-- Let's do this one.
-Let's do this one. -JAG: Okay, sure. Sure, okay.
We're choosing this, uh, swatch card.
And we just think the colors are very bright
and should be easy to find.
This fabric store is massive.
So it's a first and second floor
for the type and quantity of the bolts.
You look for this one. Sequin, one bolt.
I'm doing sequin, three bolts.
-What that mean is? -Where are the sequins? Sequins...
Bolt is the quantity, Jasu, just look for...
sequin. Let's see, I'm gonna go...
Oh, right here, bro. [laughs]
Right in front of us.
-Okay, perfect. Perfect. Uh... -We're, like, searching up...
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
-Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. -Find this one. Grab it.
-Oh, and then next one. -[grunts]
-Next one. Wait. -No, no, let's go.
Whoa, I need three bolts of this.
JAS: Good job. Good catch on that.
-One. -This. Can you hold this?
Ah, three bolts. Okay.
Just outside this door.
[grunts]
-Whew. Whew! -[grunts]
These are very heavy.
Good?
KYLAND: So, unfortunately, we didn't see
Jag and Jas at Sesame Street, but that was a very quick stop.
I feel like having Luka here,
and the efficiency at which we're moving,
I think it's only a matter of time before we close this gap.
TAYLOR: We're on our way to Spandex House.
I was a personal stylist for a handful of years.
I wear a lot of spandex, and I basically live in athleisure,
so hopefully I'll have a little bit of knowledge,
hand up on knowledge on some fabrics,
but we just got to see what the task is when we get there
and get it done faster than anybody else.
JAS: Jaga, right here.
This is that one. This is this.
-Yeah, how many? -We need four bolts hologram.
Okay. Let me-- Hold this.
[grunts]
-So we can get two carts? -JAS: Yeah.
"You must use two carts."
JAG: Okay.
JAS: Okay, now do the purple matte.
We're looking for the purple and the red one.
We're looking for a pur--
-Jasu, you look for a red one. -Yes, uh...
We're looking for the purple and the red one.
So we're just running through.
JAG: Uh, I don't think it...
I don't see it over here.
It's not here. It's not here.
JAS: There's a second floor, too, remember that.
JAG: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It must be on the second floor.
Okay, purple.
I see purple.
Is this matte purple?
-Jasu, bring this. -Yes.
Okay, you want to go one at a time or two each?
Two. Two. Here.
KYLAND: Yes, sir.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
See you soon.
KYLAND: Let's go.
We'll meet you right here, Luka.
Find something sheer.
How much quantity?
Four. That's wrong.
Keep going. Sheer.
They're right here. Right here, right here.
-Four, four, four, wrapped. -Yup.

-Hello. -Hello. -Hey.
-How's it going? -Good, good.
Check. Check, please.
Check?
KYLAND: Which one? This one?
-Okay, thank you. Thank you very much. -All right.
-Yep. -Okay. Yeah.
-Perfect. -JAG: Perfect. Thank you.
KYLAND: Oh, how many?
-Four of this. -MAN: Four. -TAYLOR: Four bolts.
-One, two, three, four. -KYLAND: Got it.
JAS: Feldman Center at the Fashion Institute.
KYLAND: Get-get the door?
TAYLOR: Got it.
It's just a right. It's right here.
It's 28th. Past 28th.
28th and 7th. [speaks Punjabi]
Okay, okay.
KYLAND: So, four of those.
-TAYLOR: This is two. -Excuse me, excuse me.
-Excuse me, excuse me... -KYLAND: Leave that one, and I'll do this one.
JAG: Jasu, come on.
JAS: You want to switch?
JAG: Yes, I can push more than you.
-Okay, switch. -No, no, no.
Put more weight on mine.
Okay.
Come on. Run fast.
ADAM: Jas and Jag are probably already there.
Taylor and Kyland are making their way.
Hopefully, both of them are hitting a red light.
-We're getting all greens right now. -Yeah.
TAYLOR: Kyland, is this one of our fabrics?
-KYLAND: Yep. Three. -Okay.
KYLAND: I'll take two, you take one?
We were moving very in sync.
We found each fabric
and loaded them on quick.
And we feel like we're moving pretty good here.
Let's go upstairs.
Is this-- Kyland, what's this?
Oh, my gosh, you're amazing.
And we need one.
-Awesome. Go for it. -Perfect. I got it.
Okay.
JAG: Come on, Jasu.
Add weight on mine if you're getting tired.
Each of those rolls had to be 15 to 20 pounds.
We had 16 total rolls.
That weight adds up a lot,
and we had to push it down ten blocks.
I knew that I could carry extra weight and still maintain speed,
so that's why I took on a lot more of the weight.
They're five minutes behind us, if that.
This is the final leg ofThe Amazing Race,
and we're gonna have to work extremely hard
to-to get the million dollars.
Jasu, add weight on mine.
I'm catching up.
Go add another one.
JASU: Excuse me. On your left.
-Excuse me. -JAG: Excuse me, excuse me.
JOSEPH: We're inching our way.
We are quite literally on Taylor and Kyland's heels.
ADAM: Thank you.
Is that one sheer?
-TAYLOR: Not sheer. Is it sheer? -That's not sheer?
It looks sheer.
TAYLOR: This is-- No, this is, uh, uh, shimmer.
-See? -Oh, thank you.
[panting]: Okay.
Orange, sheer and turquoise.
Is this turquoise?
Yeah. Move your shadow.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Okay, we need four.

JAS: Excuse me.
So this wasn't just the streets of Omak where there's no one

JAS: This was New York City streets.
We're talking everyone is out and about.
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
-We're in a race. -JAS: Sorry, we're in a race.
JAG: We're in a race, we're in a race.
Luckily, people were just, like, getting out of the way
just in time.
Come on, Jasu.
Kyland and Taylor are right behind us.
So we're gonna go as fast as we can.
KYLAND: Orange sheer is all that's left.
Orange sheer.
Right here?
Sheer. Is it netted?
No.
KYLAND: Okay. Thank God you're here.
Come on, let's go upstairs 'cause there's still a lot.
It's these. How many?
-Four. -Four?
One, two, three, four.
-This is it. -Four bolts.
-Four? -You can take two, I take two.

KYLAND: So, we're gonna meet you here.
-Look for us. Thank you so much. -Yeah.
-TAYLOR: Thank you. -KYLAND: We're on our way.
-All right. -TAYLOR: See you there.
JOSEPH: So, what colors are we missing? We got the yellow.
We need the blue sparkly.
Need the colorful sparkly.
JOSEPH: This one. Here.
That's it.
Yeah, baby.
-That's the one. -Uh-huh.
KYLAND: Move, move, move, move!
-TAYLOR: Going. -KYLAND: Say excuse me.
-Just get in front of people. -TAYLOR: Going. Going.
JOSEPH: We're right on Taylor and Kyland,
Jag and Jas, as expected.
We're zooming through everything.
Let's go.
JAG: It's on 28th, Jasu. Let's go.
Excuse me, excuse me. We're in a race.
I was drenched
in sweat.
Sweat was just, like, dripping down.
-Help me. Help me. Help me push this. -Okay.
JAG: It got very tiring very, very fast.
Help me fix this.
Let's go, one, two...
Kyland, Kyland, Kyland!
KYLAND: All right, all right, all right. I'm coming, I'm coming.
TAYLOR: The bolts are heavy
-and the carts are heavy, too. -KYLAND: Yeah.
It's the cart, not the fabrics.
I know, well, we need to get--
It's easier to move if it's lighter, right?
TAYLOR: Superhero over here
just kept off-loading my weight, 'cause I was struggling.
This is not easy.
I don't move the fabrics. I just play with the fabrics.
This one,
having him as my partner,
it was what I needed to get through it,
'cause I didn't know if I would have been able to otherwise.
[both groan]
TAYLOR: You're doing great.
So we need this blue,
this reddish, and we need this silver.
Hey.
-Aha! Aha. -Two fours. Two fours, yeah.
JOSEPH: As we pass the fabric,
we almost instantly identified it
right then and there.
Here's sparkly stuff.
There's a lot of sparkly here.
Joseph, Joseph, Joseph.
Yes!
Good catch, Adam.
-How many? How many? -Three.
Oh, wait, Adam, here.
-ADAM: It's just one? -Yeah!
-Oh, my God. -We got it!
-Let's go. That's huge. -We got it!
We're coming.
No one's getting away from us!
ADAM: Are these correct, sir?
Yeah, look-looks... looks good.
-Yes! -Correct.
Thank you!
JAG: Let's go.
Jasu, pick that thing up.
We're trying to find
the person that we're supposed to deliver these fabrics to.
And as we're going,
one of the fabrics on his cart...
JAS: The cloth was coming out of the plastic part,
and then it got caught on the left front wheel.
Jaga, it's caught. Come help me.
JAG: And it got knotted up.
Like, it was multiple rolls over.
Jasu, this is pretty bad.
[panting]
Okay. Go backwards.
JAS: I can't. It's caught on the wheel.
Unravel it.
We're hunting Jag and Jas down right now.
I can smell 'em.
We're right on 'em!
JAS: Oh, my God.
JAG: Kyland and Taylor are right behind us,
and they're a fast and strong team.
Oh, man.
JAS: It goes around here.
-Think that's tightening up? -No, it's not.
That's loosening it.
We've been running this race saying, "Smart is fast."
And so instead of panicking in that moment...
Yes. Okay.
...let's just turn the wheel the other way instead of trying
to rip it out.
Okay.
[grunts]
Come on.
ADAM: Let's go.
JOSEPH: I can't see anyone, Adam, so...
ADAM: You're clear.
JOSEPH: Whenever we do a physical challenge,
I take more of the brunt force,
in order to maintain Adam's blood sugar.
So we had to distribute the force more onto me,
rather than to Adam.
ADAM: Joseph, we have to kind of
run with it.
-Right. More to your right. Yeah. -Watch out.
So Adam was doing the navigating
and I was doing more of the pulling and correction.
-ADAM: More to your right. -JOSEPH: I am, Adam.
-The wheel's broken. -I know. I'm just telling you.
[grunts]
JOSEPH: Anyone who knows New York City knows New Yorkers don't care
what's going on
-around them. -ADAM: They were not moving.
JOSEPH: And they are not moving, so...
ADAM: I think I even heard someone say,
"That shouldn't be on the sidewalk."
JOSEPH: Everyone's in their own world,
-and no one cares what you're doing. ADAM: Yeah.
JOSEPH: So you need to navigate the people, the pavement...
-And the cars. -and the cars.
Excuse me, watch out. There's a baby here.
-Excuse me. -Sorry, guys.
Let's close this gap.
-We're on their ass. -Yeah.
KYLAND: They did not move that fast.
TAYLOR: Two more New York City blocks to go!
KYLAND: This is 29. We're going to 27.
JAG: There it is. I see it.
-Come on. Come on, come on... -JAS: Oh, thank God.
Excuse me.

JAS: Hi.

-Amazing, Luka. -Let's go. Get in the car.
Aah!
That was good. I think we did that really well,
minus the fabric getting caught in my wheel.
-That's fine, that's fine. We're onto the next thing. -You know?
I'm not even thinking about that anymore.
This is for a million dollars.
JAG: And this is a race of minutes.
They're right on our tail.
JOSEPH: We're still in it, baby.
[strains]
ADAM: Go, Joseph, it's down more.
Watch out.
Hello, my beautiful people.
-Thank you. -Thank you so much.
-Thank you too. -Thank you so much.
Brooklyn, here we come.
-TAYLOR: We're going to Brooklyn. -KYLAND: Yes. Our man Luka
was waiting right there for us.
He's the best.
Getting through that fabric store
had to save us some time on Jag and Jas.
First time on Amazing Racehistory
that it's a three-person team.
-Yeah. Yeah. -[laughs]
Our dad, actually, was a taxi driver in Seattle.
We want to win this million dollars.
We want to retire our parents.
So we're gonna work very, very hard.
JOSEPH: That was very hard. And I think
correcting that with all the carpets on it
was very brutal to go down ten streets.
Oh, look, you can see.
I'm bleeding a little bit.
ADAM: Hopefully that slowed down the other teams
who had a lead on us,
but we know we're still in third place.
This is really a very, very tight race.
Kyland and Taylor are right on our heels.
They might just be about,
you know, a minute or two behind us.
We are hot on the heels
of Jag and Jas,
and that feels good.
Not as good as it'll feel when we pass 'em.
Joseph and Adam showed up at Spandex House right behind us.
-JOSEPH: We've been on Taylor and Kyland's heels. -ADAM: Yeah.
JOSEPH: We really believe in ourselves and believe we can do it,
and we will.
We've been moving so efficiently, so effectively.
JAG: We're gonna do everything we can to stay ahead.
JOSEPH: Mark my words, we're gonna win this.
You just wait.

JAS: Holy cow.
JAG: "To begin, answer the questions

JAS: I am horrible at crossword puzzles.
Even the easy ones, I'm so bad at them.
JAG: Down and across. Okay.
BOTH: "Ivan Gundulic's city."
-JAG: Prague. -Prague.
JAG: Two across
is "P."
Wait, P-R-A-G-E. No.
-Is it Dubrovnik? -Oh, Dubrovnik.
Let's do "D."
Find the next letter, right?
JAG: U-B.
All the letters were at the bottom.
You had to fit them where the words go.
And if we're spelling out a word,
I would choose the first letter,
he would find the next letter. And so we were
going really fast on one word.
I felt like we had a good memory and a good idea
of everything that we had done so far.
BOTH: "First strike."
JAG: Versus "last strike."
Let's do that later.
JAS: "Self-supporting bridge designer."
Uh, Leonardo da Vinci.

JAS: "Fortnit"?

Koruna?
-K-O-R-U-N-A. -Okay.
Okay, we got this.
KYLAND: Being the final leg,
it's, like, a conflicting feeling,
'cause we want to get to the finish line
as fast as possible, but since we're in second right now,
we want there to be enough of the race left
that we still have time to catch up.
JOSEPH: We've been in third place
all day today.
We're not letting that get into our heads.
We've been in the back before.
We've never jumped the front,
but there's a first time for everything.
JAG: Okay, "Croatia Double U-turn location." Buza Bar.
Uh, I don't see it.
Find a "Z." Just find a "Z."
I'm trying to.
I found a "Z." Hold on.
JAG: Okay. Good work.
"Palio town."
Vigevano. Palio.
[cheering, applause]
-Yay! -JAS: You got all four on the first one!
Yeah!
You-you did that.
I don't know how to spell that. [laughs]
I would choose the word that I knew
was easy to spell.
"Yellow clue" is Detour.
I'll do nine.
Because I'm not that great at spelling.
If I knew I had
to spell out "strike,"
I'd be like, "All right, I got this one.
You work on the next one."
"Romanian sausage." Mici.
Okay, make a ball.
Oh, this one's done.
We just have to make sure it's the exact, you know,
width and size and everything.
Mmm. This is really good.
"Tactile alphabet." Braille.
Um...
How do you spell "braille," bro?
Capital one, four,
two, five.
JAG: Now let me think.
"First strike" or "last strike." What is that?

This is koruna.
JAS: Is "Czech cash" koruna?
JAG: Yeah.
Maybe it is F-O...
"Forins." I-N-S.
-For... -Try I-N-S.
Forint. Forint is what it's called.
-Oh. "Fornit." -It's not "fornit."
-It's forint. [laughs] -Forint. Forint. ...
-JAS: Okay. -What do we do? Eight across.
"Last strike."
Oh, man. What is "last strike"?
-KYLAND: Next thing. -Prague.
18 across.
I need you to keep solving, baby.
You're doing great.
TAYLOR: I'm a word girl. I love crosswords
and I've taken very detailed notes throughout this race.
We've just been preparing so much for the final quiz.
So seeing that it was a crossword,
it felt like it was a challenge that was made for us.
Give me another one.
TAYLOR: We're doing seven down next.
-KYLAND: Okay, what is that? -"Kutna Hora nickname."
-Silver City. -Silver City. Okay, cool.
You're doing great.
Hungary money.
What was the name of the Hungary money?
-KYLAND: Forint. F-O-R-I-N-T. -O-R-I-N-T. Was that...
Good work, baby.
Uh, that up there.
The last clue box.
"Solve a crossword puzzle to receive your final clue."
-Okay. -Let's go.
-JOSEPH: Here, here, here. -ADAM: Let's go.
Wow, this is cool.
Okay.
JAS: What is "last strike"?
Hazard?
JAS: Hazard. Hazard, Express Pass.
JAG: "First strike" and "last strike"--
those were the last two things that we had left.
The only thing that we could think of
when it came to "strike" was
that first Express Pass challenge
-that we had to do. -JAS: Yep.
We don't want to get the hazard
-right off the bat. -JAG: Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah!
JAG: Bro, let's go.
-Oh, my God. -JAS: "S."
Wait, there's something, there's something...
JAG: Uh, we'll figure out
where the Z's are.
Let's do a check.
Press the red button.
-JAG: Boom. Oh. -Z's. Switch the Z's.
One of the Z's, the one that we put in "hazard"
had an accent mark over it.
It actually belongs in Buza Bar.
We're so close.
Put it up there.
-JAS: What's next? -Okay, okay, okay.
Now we have to do something.
JAS: Different letters were highlighted in yellow,
and we had to drag those letters down
and unscramble them.
JAG: "I" and a "U."
[sighs]
KYLAND: We're looking for a clue.
-Please. -TAYLOR: Nice.
KYLAND: Oh, beautiful.
ADAM: "Romanian search."
Egg.
I'm taking a shot in the dark here. [laughs]
"D."
JAS: What is this?
Where are we going?
JAG: I see the "Y," and it just clicks for me.
-Yankee Stadium. -Yankee Stadium.
Let's go. Go for it.
Let's go, let's go.
-Do it. Go for it. -Come on, baby.
-Let's go! -Let's go!
-Come on! -Let's go!
-Go, go, go, go. No, that's it. That's it. -Wait, we need to--
Let's go!
Go, go, go!
-[laughs] Whoo! -Oh, my God!
KEOGHAN: The New York Yankees
are the most successful Major League Baseball team.
The team logo is a global cultural icon--
a symbol of dominance, tradition
and New York pride.
Teams must make their way here to Yankee Stadium,
where the Bronx Bombers play their home games.
The first team to arrive here will win $1 million
and The Amazing Race.
-JAG: To Yankee Stadium. -JAS: Yankee Stadium.
Whoo!
Express Pass. Hazard.
-Come on. -Oh, man.
KYLAND: Okay, baby. All right.
-Yeah. Damn it. -We're fine. Okay.
JOSEPH: Oh, my God.
TAYLOR: Come on. Come on.
-Yes! Okay. -Okay. Yellow letters.
"S."
-"N." -Just drag 'em all down.
KYLAND [whispering]: Stadium.
Stadium. Yankee Stadium.
TAYLOR [whispering]: Stadium. Oh, yes!
Just start to fill them in to the best of your memory.
-TAYLOR: This is it. -KYLAND: Yeah.
-All right, let's go. -TAYLOR: This is it. Let's go.
-Let's go. Let's go! -KYLAND: Let's go.
-TAYLOR: Out the door... -KYLAND: From the same door.
So we need nothing else here?
-TAYLOR: No. -...
-Let's go. -Just put everything in there.
KYLAND: Let's go.
-Yankee Stadium, please. -TAYLOR: Thank you.
We are headed to the final Pit Stop.
Anything can happen.
JAG: Whoo!
I don't want to psych ourselves out
and get there, and suddenly Kyland and Taylor
or Joseph and Adam-- someone's there already,
-but we flew through that crossword. -JAS: We flew through that.
I feel very optimistic.
We did that so fast.
Yeah, we...
And we weren't far behind them.
Anything is possible. It's possible that
Jag and Jas got caught in traffic,
somehow Jag and Jas got lost.
We just don't know where anybody is except for us right now.
KYLAND: All right, Luka, you're doing great.
-You're killing it. Oh, yeah, yeah... -TAYLOR: You're amazing, Luka.
We can win a million dollars.
We can do it.
KYLAND: Make sure no one passes us.
Put the final touch, baby.
See... one hand.
Oh, hold on.
-Wait, is it Yankee? -ADAM: Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.
-It's probably... -Yankee Stadium.
-Yankee... -Stadium.
-Yankee Stadium. -Whoo!
Yankee Stadium. That's where we're off to next.
Let's go.
-Let's go. Yankee Stadium, baby. -Okay, let's do this.
[exclaims]
JAS: You're about to potentially make history here.
-First Big Brother and Amazing Racewinner. -And Amazing Racewinner.
We just handed him everything we have.
All in all, we gave him almost $700 right now.
-JAS: Wow. -JAG: Now all that's left
between us and a million dollars is us getting there.
♪
-TAYLOR: We can do it. -KYLAND: We can do it. We can do it.
-We will do it. -Something happened. I don't know what.
Something happened, and they are not there.
-JAG: Yankee Stadium, baby. -JAS: I'm so proud of you.
-Come on. -JAS: This is it.
JAG: The end is in sight.
Nothing that we can do now, we just got to get there
-and run in. -Yeah.
Hoping to find Phil
and I'm trying to hold out hope that no other team's there.
JAG: Keep your eye out, Jasu, for gate six.
All right, so, gate six is...
Okay. Gate six is past the light.
-JAS: Six! -JAG: Six. Gate six.
-Okay. Okay... -Thank you.
-Okay. Okay. -Okay.
-Okay.
JAG: Jasu, let's go.
Is there a marked path?
JAS: Yeah, follow the marked path.
-Right here. No, left, left. -Amazing Race.
-No, no, no, right here. -Left, left.
Oh, oh, oh.

[cheering continuing]
Jag and Jas, after completing
your amazing European adventure,
I am pleased to tell you
that you have won this Amazing Race...
-Let's go! -[cheers, laughs]
...and $1 million.
[both cheering]
This is your seventh first place finish.
-What was the secret to your success? -Oh, my God.
We came in with just such a positive mindset.
Traveling around the world
with my brother and best friend by my side
has just been such a beautiful experience.
And through every single challenge,
we trusted each other.
I'm so grateful for it all.
This is the most incredible finish
that we could ask for.
I couldn't have chosen anyone else to be sitting here
by my side right now.
JAG: We're in our late 20s.
We're not always gonna be attached at the hip,
hanging out all the time.
Uh, and so this was, for us, our last hurrah.
This is a pretty surreal feeling,
being the first Big Brother winner
to also win The Amazing Race.
And to do it, like, with my brother by my side, too,
is very special.
-KYLAND: Up ahead. -There it is.

[cheering]
-[Kyland panting] -TAYLOR: Whoo!
[Kyland chuckles]
-TAYLOR: Hey. -KEOGHAN: Good job, you guys.
-Good job. -KYLAND: Thank you. -TAYLOR: Good job, you guys.
-You crushed that. -Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
[cheering continues]
Kyland and Taylor, what a battle.
-[chuckles] -Whoo!
You finished second on this Amazing Race,
which is an extraordinary achievement.
Are you proud of-of racing with him?
Oh, my God.
We were dating on and off for a long time,
and our communication was terrible.
And every leg of the way we just got stronger and stronger,
and I feel like we regained our friendship,
which we lost when we used to date.
I'm just so happy we did this together.
-I love this woman, I know she loves me. -Yeah.
And we want to see what we can build this into.
And this gave us a lot of hope.
Second place feels heartbreaking.
TAYLOR: You know, I told Kyland
he would get his first official championship, and that I would
make sure that we were standing together to make that happen.
And I couldn't do that for you.
KYLAND: Jag's the firstBig Brother winner to get first.
She's the first Big Brother winner to get second. And
that's the silver lining
to go with our silver place.
-Uh... [chuckles] -[laughs]
Thank you.
♪
-Let's go. -[all cheering]
[laughing, cheering]
KYLAND: Congrats. Congrats.
Joseph and Adam, am I pleased to tell you--
you should be so proud of yourselves--
you have finished this race in third place.
-JOSEPH: Thank you. -ADAM: Thank you so much.
-I always loved the way you looked after each other. -JOSEPH: Thank you.
There were times where I had self-doubt,
and I thought I was holding my brother back,
and I didn't think I'd be standing here today.
I truly, truly feel motivated.
I feel different to pursue more things in life
and be confident in who I am.
I know Adam has so much untapped potential,
and the fact that we're standing here on a podium
just showed me
that it was a matter of believing in ourselves.
I've always, growing up, wanted Adam
to be confident in his abilities,
and for him to stand tall and proud,
and I witnessed it firsthand, and
money can't buy that.
ADAM: And it doesn't hurt
to have a support system like I had.
-Joseph is the epitome of a good person. -I love you, buddy.
And I love him forever.
[cheering]
What's up, man?
TAYLOR: "Life-changing" doesn't even begin to encapsulate
the experience that you have onThe Amazing Race.
I'm just so proud
of everything that we put out as a team together.
And I'm so glad that we got to do this together.
SIMONE: Congratulations.
Thank you so much. I missed you guys.
JOSEPH: We have had such a funny,
enjoyable and life-changing experience,
that no matter how today ended,
Adam and I were winners in our book.
-ADAM: Congratulations, for real. -Ah.
JAG: I'm beyond happy that we went on the race.
The experiences
that we've had together, money can't buy.
Y'all deserve this.
JAS: To be given this opportunity and then
to win and make the most
of the opportunity.
JAG: It's been really incredible
for us, and we're just so grateful.
