PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on The Amazing Race...
For the first time ever,
teams raced to the Kingdom of Jordan.
-[cheering] -LUIS: Is that real or are we seeing things?
KEOGHAN: And early injuries slowed down Emily and Molly.
EMILY: I've got something going on with my thigh.
-Oh, no. -This is not good.
KEOGHAN: At the Roadblock,
Linton struggled in the sand.
No giving up. No giving up.
It's out here somewhere.
KEOGHAN: In the ancient city of Petra, Derek and Claire
and Luis and Michelle battled for the lead.
-Oh, we got it! -They got it?
KEOGHAN: Ending with a victory for the married couple.
-You are team number one. -Yes!
[both crying]
KEOGHAN: Aubrey and David were puzzled at the Detour.
No?
KEOGHAN: But in the end,
it was Linton and Sharik who came up short.
You are the last team to arrive.
You have been eliminated from the race.
-Thank you. -Very proud of her.
-Thank you. -We finished what we started.
This is the capital of Jordan, Amman.
First inhabited about 9,000 years ago,
it's among the world's oldest cities.
And high atop the white city,
these ancient ruins,
including the Citadel.
This is where teams will begin their second leg in Jordan.

Morning, everybody.
ALL: Good morning, Phil.
LUIS: Whenever you see Phil
before a leg starts,
that's not good.
KEOGHAN: Good to see everyone,
but I do have some important news to share.
You will have noticed that there's a team
missing this morning.
Abby and Will.
Good morning, Abby and Will.
-Hey, Phil. -Hey, Phil.
Unfortunately, we have received
a positive COVID test from you.
As you know, safety is our number-one priority, and...
...I'm really sorry to say this, but it does mean
that you are officially eliminated
from The Amazing Race.
We understand.
KEOGHAN: We knew it was gonna be a challenge coming back out
on the race, having to deal with COVID protocols.
Amazing Raceis kind of rolling with the punches,
and unfortunately, this is one of the punches.
So it's definitely heartbreaking,
but we've loved every single minute of it.
It has been everything I dreamed.
CLAIRE: I'm really devastated
by this. I loved Abby and Will.
They are great people,
and they're really fierce competitors.
-DEREK: Yeah. -CLAIRE: And so seeing them be taken out
by something that is kind of out of their control,
it does break your heart.
I'm gonna be forever grateful
that I had a chance to run this with Abby.
We had so much fun together,
and just getting to see all these amazing places
was incredible.
We're gonna miss you guys.
-We love you. Miss you. -I love you, Will and Abby.
Good luck.
We hope to see y'all, uh, at the end of the race.
KEOGHAN: Take care.
That's pretty tough, huh?
But you guys get to continue racing.
-That is the good news. -[applause]
So I need you to shift your minds right now.
Just because of the circumstances
of what's happened here,
we're all gonna be leaving at the same time,
and you don't have to worry about an elimination.
We've already eliminated a team.
But I want you to know that the way you finish in this leg
will determine how you start in the leg after this one.
You will be leaving in the next leg of the race in four groups.
Two teams in the first group,
two teams in the second group, two in the third.
And then one team will be leaving all on their own...
...45 minutes behind the first team.
So give it absolutely everything you can today.
Everybody ready to race?
-[cheering] -KEOGHAN: All right.
Your first clue is inside the Citadel.
When I say go, run down, go inside, grab a clue.

Dance is a universal language of human expression.
This Jordanian routine, a flirt dance,
is often performed as a ritual before weddings.
Teams must get in step with an instructor, then dress up
and nail a performance of the dance for their next clue.
The Middle East is believed to be the place
where written language was first invented.
Today, the Arabic alphabet is the second-most
widely used alphabetic writing system in the world,
made up of 28 letters,
all of them consonants, read from right to left.
Teams must memorize all 28 letters
and recite them out loud for a clue.
