CLAIRE: Je marcherai les yeux
fixés sur mes pensées.
Sans rien voir au dehors...
....sans entendre aucun bruit.
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé...
...les mains croiseés.

"Race to your next Pit Stop.
Make your way to Canal de Brienne."
This waterway is part of the Canal du Midi,
which was created to connect the Atlantic Ocean
with the Mediterranean Sea--
a cost-saving shortcut
that allows for the transportation of goods
across Southern France.
Today, it is utilized
by more than 9,000 watercraft every year,
includingPays d'Oc,
the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here will be eliminated.
-"Warning, the last team to check in will be eliminated." -Canal de Brienne
is where we were before.
We got a poem?
I think so.
-Hello. -I'll get the first one.
Come on.

AUBREY: "Par la mon... montagne."

"J'rai par la montagne."
-"Loin de toi plus longtemps." -Okay.
-"Je ne puis." -Hello.
-DAVID: "Aucunbruh." -"Aucun bruit."
"Aucunbuit."
-"Bruit." -"Boit."
For me, at least,
it was a pronunciation. These words--
I can read them using the English structure.
-But when you pronounce them, they have different accents. -Mm-hmm.
DAVID: It was hard.
WOMAN: "Aucun bruit."
Are you good with yours?
-Yeah. -...
"Sans entendre aucun bruit."
Thank you.
MARCUS: Hello.
"Je marcherai."
-"Jemargerai"? -"Je marcherai."
MARCUS: "Je ma... Je marcherai"?
I thought actually memorizing the words...
was-was really easy.
"Vor au dehors."
-"Voir." -"Voir."Okay.
Pronouncing them correctly with the...
Whole different story.
-Yeah. Yeah. -[laughs]

LUIS: Bottom left.
No bricks fit there.
MICHELLE: So you got to move 'em over.
LUIS: No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right.
There we go. That fits better.
One more.
Okay. Want to ask for a check?
-If anything, we'll fix it after. -Okay, cool. Sure.
Okay. Done. Check.
-Yes? -Oui. Bon, oui, oui.
-Sand! Let's go! -[whoops]
-Okay. -Let's go. Okay.
Oh, they got it?
-There's a clue at the sand. -Babe.
-We probably got to brush it. -Oh, okay.
Go pick up the sand.
LUIS: I love it.
Okay. Check.
Yes? Yes?
-Yes. Thank you. -Thank you.
MOLLY: Doing a very nice job, Miami.
LUIS: Limpialo, limpialo.

EMILY: Not going to.
MATTIE: I don't like this.
Wait, this is a whole center...
QUINTON: I need to get out of here. I'm getting flustered.
It's not gonna help me right now.
What the heck? What?

It says Couvent Jacobins, 460 meters.
Left.
MATTIE: Really?
I'm going... I'm having a moment. Hold on.
MATTIE: We're at this stop, and we're like,
"Is this a stoplight?
Is it ever gonna turn green?" 'Cause there were these things.
QUINTON: These metal beams came up, and I'm like, "Oh, my God."
You can't drive past it.
I want to get out.
MATTIE: Got to get out.
I don't think we're supposed to go out this way.
Mattie, maybe could you run to that, uh...
-MATTIE: Yeah. -...thing right there?
[door closes]
-[beeps] -[man speaks French over comm.]
Hi, uh, we're stuck.
We're trying to get out of this area here.
Can you put the things down?
Okay. Thanks.
This was a mess.
-There's arrows for parking. -Ah. Yes.
When we saw that it was just one small, little
turn down the street,
we were both really frustrated with how close we got
and how much time we wasted.
QUINTON: Like, every second counts.
MATTIE: Let's just park.
QUINTON: We're so close.

KEOGHAN: And I do have some good news for you.
-Okay. -Oh. Mwah. I love you.
As the winners of this leg of the race,
you have won Expedia reward points.
-Oh! -Oh, okay. All right.
That are good for a five-night trip for two...
...to Bangkok.
-Oh! -Oh! [laughs]
Nice.
KEOGHAN: Expedia experts
are going to design a unique local experience,
including an ancient Thai cooking class,
floating market speedboat ride,
arena river dinner cruise
and nighttime tuk-tuk tour.
Cool!
Back on top.
We definitely hit a slump there at the beginning, um,
and I think that we were very hard on ourselves
and really kind of pessimistic
about if we could win this thing.
Getting first today really does show itself.

As I mentioned to you,
there is an elimination at the end of every leg,
and unfortunately, you are the last team to arrive.
I'm disappointed, 'cause I know what we are capable of, and...
...this is not how we wanted to go.
We're both competitors
and very upset that we're not gonna be in that final leg
racing for a million dollars.
We wanted to be champions.
That's the stinger.
