PHIL KEOGHAN: Previously on The Amazing Race...
Eight teams continued racing through the Kingdom of Jordan.
The leg began with a shocking elimination.
We have received a positive COVID test from you.
You are officially eliminated.
It's definitely heartbreaking.
KEOGHAN: And the stakes remain high for the rest of the teams.
In the leg after this one,
the last team will be leaving all on their own,
45 minutes behind the first team.
At the Detour, Derek was at a loss for words.
[enunciating]
KEOGHAN: While Glenda and Lumumba were out of step.
Oh. We missed the beat. Let's do it again.
KEOGHAN: Luis and Michelle fell apart...
LUIS: The cart came-came apart.
KEOGHAN: ...but recovered for their second win in a row.
-Back-to-back, baby. Back-to-back. -Back-to-back...
KEOGHAN: Meanwhile, Glenda struggled at the Roadblock,
and now the newlyweds will face the consequences.
You have arrived last.
GLENDA: I don't expect to go home
the next leg. We're still here.

KEOGHAN: Teams will perform the Roadblock
at Château de Commarque,
steeped in centuries-old history.
This enormous family tree
shows 22 generations of the Comarque men
and the unique family crest of their wives.
Teams need to study this elaborate lineage
and then take a memory test.
But they'll be doing it the hard way.
After rappelling 131 feet
and relying only on their powers of observation,
they need to match these five names
with their corresponding family crests.

"Detour. Walnut Cracker or Medieval Gamer?"
The Dordogne Valley is France's capital of the walnut.
What you might not know is that walnut oil
is used for varnishing
and lighting lamps like this.
Teams need to crack, grind and press
enough of this versatile walnut oil
to fill this container up to the black line.
When they do, they'll get a clue.
Life in medieval times wasn't easy,
so numerous games were invented to pass the time
and were also used by knights in training.
When soldiers weren't out on the battlefield
fighting for their lives, it was in their best interest
to hone their skills, practicing their aim,
eye-hand coordination and balance.
Teams must complete three medieval games
to keep their hopes alive in this leg of the race.

You still never know. Like, we fell into a ditch.
-We didn't expect that. -[laughs]
You never know what somebody's gonna run into.
-Okay. Okay. -Okay.
"Walnut Cracker or Medieval Gamer?"
We're gonna do Walnut Cracker.
MARCUS: So, we're trying to knock this out.
And maybe we can get another first,
'cause I'm tired of finishing in the back.
-Same. -And yes, the second place is the back. [laughs]
MOLLY: Oh, man, Marcus and Michael are here.
Good job, guys.
-I mean, how many will we need? -I don't know.

Go ahead and, uh, pull left.
-Oh, no. -[groans]
-All right. Let's try it again. -Okay.
LUIS: Damn. We started with the hardest one, huh?
All right.
-Pull the right. -My right?
MICHELLE: The third time, I thought I actually had it.
Pull both.
Oh, wait, stop.
Like... Oh, no!
No. [laughs]
How far up did I go, baby?
Right here.
LUIS: We went, like, six inches up.
-Nothing. -The board is, like, six feet tall.
MICHELLE: Want to switch Detours?
The other Detour's right there. We can see it.
-We're gonna switch. -We're gonna switch Detours.
-Let's do the walnut. -Okay, walnut.
-You want to do walnut? -Let's do walnut. Yeah, Walnut Cracker.
That's plug and chug. We just keep doing it.
CLAIRE: Let's go.
DEREK: So who's ahead of us?
-Derek. -AUBREY: I need to go see what he's doing again.
DEREK: I know.
CLAIRE: This is just going to take every team
basically the same amount of time.
So why not take a risk
and do the other Detour and maybe we can pass some teams.
-I kind of want to do the games. -DEREK: Okay.
-I think we're gonna do the games. -Okay, good luck, guys.

DEREK: Lancer de Sac.
-"You must take turns. Land two consecutively." -CLAIRE: Oh, these sacks?
DEREK: Yeah.
Land two consecutively?
-Yeah. -Oh, damn.
We have to go every other, Derek.
I know, but I haven't gotten one on.
All right, you should throw first.
-Nuts. -Nuts.
We are cracking nuts.
-We're cracking nuts. -Come on.
-It's going down now. -That's good.
AUBREY: Good job, babe.
QUINTON: Oh, I see 'em.
Ready? Come on.
Okay. Actually, you have a good strategy. Like that.
And just shot put it.
Oh, nice.
I threw shot put, so I'm used to throwing.
-DEREK: Your strategy. I was doing it underhand at first. -Yeah, going overhand?
And I saw you doing overhand. I was like, "Oh, that's genius."
CLAIRE: Here we go.
Yeah, that's how we pass teams. Okay, let's go.
DEREK: Okay. "Balance all of your rocks on suspended table.
"You must place rocks on the outside of the square.
-You may not touch it with any part of body." -Okay.
Can we place two at a time?
-Yeah, it just says place them. -Okay.
On the second challenge,
you basically have to balance
a bunch of rocks onto this uneven disc.
-DEREK: Suspended platform. -Yeah.
And all the rocks weigh different amounts.
So the key to this challenge is really
communicate with your partner and figuring out
-which rocks weigh the same amount. -Yeah.
Can I put this one down? You put two down.
-This one's heavy. Put this one... -Which one's heavy?
-This one. -Okay. So I'm gonna put...
CLAIRE: Put that one and put a light one, too.
Okay. We got it?
Yes.
Thank you.
Okay, come on. Let's get this.
DEREK: All right. "One of you will stand in front of the board
"and give directions while the other one will stand behind it.
-CLAIRE: What do you want to do? -You pull the ropes.
-Okay. Derek, I like this path. -Okay.
You want to move it, basically, horizontally to the left.
Yeah, that's perfect. That's perfect. Keep doing that.
Okay, now go up. Yep, that's perfect.
Okay, stop, stop.

LUIS: I'd say we're about in third.
Emily and Molly are ahead of us.
EMILY: You're killing it, Moll.
It's not too bad operating the crank.
It's more difficult to push in.
-EMILY: Do you want to switch? -Nope.
-DAVID: We're a little over halfway. -AUBREY: Yeah.
-Use those muscles, babe. -Keep 'em coming, keep 'em coming.
QUINTON: Mattie, put some in there.

Just crack it. Just crack it.

No.

Come on. Come on.
"Race to the next Pit Stop."
Just like a painting.
No guesses for why they call this panorama,
which offers unrivaled views of Dordogne River Valley,
something teams can savor when they check in to the Pit Stop.
Except for the last team, who will remember
this majestic spot as the place they were eliminated.
"Warning: the last team to check in will be eliminated."
-Let's go. -MOLLY: Good job, boys.
LUIS: Good job, y'all. Hope you get lost.
Which, that will never happen.
-MARCUS: Can't get lost. -MICHAEL: Nope.
MARCUS: Maybe we can get ourselves a win.
Now, we have to bring it up somehow.
-Yank it? -Just up straight.
Three centimeters.
All right. Stop, stop, stop, stop.
I was like, "I need you to move this ball
exactly three centimeters to the left."
Okay. The hole is just up
and to the right. A little bit more to your right.
And then Claire would just... boop. And it would work.
And I was like, "Oh, my God."
Okay. Okay. A little bit. Okay.
-And now just up. -Got it.
-Let's go. -What do we do?
-Put it down. -Thank you.
Wow. You killed that.
-Who do we bring 'em to? -Juggling man.
He juggles and gives us a clue.
-Okay. All right, let's go. -Thank you. Merci.
"Drive yourselves to the panorama lookout
"in the village of Domme and run to Phil on the mat.
Warning, last team to check in may be eliminated."
-Babe, focus, focus, focus. -Sorry.
-I need more. I need more. -Okay.
It's hard because you hear things and you want to look,
and then you'll get yelled at.
Almost done. We're doing good.
-MATTIE: Sure you don't want to switch? -No.
Okay. Come on, walnut juice.
-Oh, I think we might be good. We're good... -Okay, okay.
-Yes! -Yes.

We're ready.
Yeah.
-Yay. Awesome. -Thank you. Merci.
-Yay. Awesome. -Thank you.
Thank you so much. Merci.
MARCUS: Panorama lookout.
MICHAEL: Yeah.
I'm just happy that the navigation
was-was our strong point today.
Like, it caught us back up.
CLAIRE: We're gonna take a right
and go west along the river.
EMILY: We are right behind
Derek and Claire. Just gonna follow them for a little bit,
but I'm putting all my trust in Molly's navigation.
Who's gonna win this leg?
We have Michael and Marcus,
Derek and Claire,
Emily, Molly, Luis and Michelle.
Who knows, maybe we're first. It's The Amazing Race.

No.
AUBREY: Keep-keep going straight. Keep going straight.
Oh, there's a team right there.
I know we're going the right way,
but I wonder if, like, they got specific directions.
DAVID: Quinton and Mattie are behind us.
AUBREY: Hold on, slow down. Let me read the sign.
-It's the other way. We need to turn around. -Up there?
I just...
QUINTON: They don't know where they're going.
AUBREY: Domme is the other way.
So, reverse. Pull into here. Reverse.
-So, we have to go back there? -Yeah.
QUINTON: So what do you think we should do?
Are we on the D50 right now?
DAVID: But they went there.
AUBREY: Yeah, well, they're wrong.
Okay, so, babe, when you get back
to that inner pass, you need to make a left.
-So go that way? -No, go straight.
-Oh, go up here. -Go straight.
Domme is in front of you. Go straight.
DAVID: I feel like the lack of communication
and the increasing frustration became a bit overwhelming.
AUBREY: I second-guessed myself so much,
and we just could not get on, like,
a clear communication path.
DAVID: The D50 is back there, Aubrey.
-I just don't like that it says... -Can you find Cénac
-on the map? -David, I am trying!
What do you think I'm doing?
-I'm asking you. I'm asking you. -Literally, what do you think I'm doing?
-You're not. -I don't know what you're doing on the map.
I'm just trying to give input,
'cause we clearly just went back and forth.
AUBREY: The faster you go, the harder it is for me to read those signs.
I'm trying to go as slow as I can.
Okay, well, go slower.
-Really? -Yeah, really.
Well, then give better directions.
DAVID: There was a sign up there that said Vence.
Do you see Vence anywhere?
-Look at... Look for... -David, let me figure it out!
Stop telling me what to do!
DAVID: We know we're either second to last
or we're possibly in last place,
and the more I feel that, it just
overwhelms me.
I was trying to give you a sign
before you shut me up.
I'm gonna give you the map and you can
figure it out yourself.
Fine.
-You ready for that Jordan? -[chuckles]
-LeBron.
Kobe!
Okay.
There you go. There you go.
-Yeah! -Hey!
I want you to just lightly pull the left just a little bit.
Yep. Now pull both slowly.
Keep coming, keep coming.
And then pull a tad on this side.
There we go.

All right, just turn around.
Sorry.

DEREK: We don't know.
I believe I know exactly where we are.

-Passed it? Go back? -Yeah, no, no, because Domme's down here.
-Do we go back? -Domme's down here.
-Do we go back? -No.
-Domme is to the left. -Maybe go left, go left, go left.
-It's got to be up here. -Yeah.
Domme is to the right.
I think we're close.
We're right here, Phil.
