-Hola, señor. -¿Dónde?
-In Ronda. -DEREK: Ronda.
Teams will begin the second half of their Mega Leg
after driving themselves here to Ronda,
a popular summer destination
for Orson Welles and Ernest Hemingway.
This city, in the Andalusia region of Spain,
is where teams will face a second Detour
and second Roadblock.
Teams will pick up their first clue from this tour guide
holding the Andalusian flag
on top of Puente Nuevo.
This 230-year-old bridge is regarded
as the centerpiece of Ronda.

The Mega Leg is really a marathon,

as much as possible.

A brick arch like this
is held in place with the force of gravity,

Once constructed, they'll stand the test of time.

He said it was all the way down.
-DEREK: I see 'em. I see 'em. -Okay.
This way, guys!
DEREK: "To get there, enter through the gate next to the Parador Hotel."
-Wait. Parador Hotel's the hotel we parked at. -Yeah.
DEREK: Guys, it's the hotel we parked at.
-Just go back. -All right. Babe, come here.
"Through the gate next to the Parador Hotel."

Vamos, vamos. !¡Viva España!
Here's the flowers.
Oh, God. Were the earrings like this?
I think it was these.
It was a little white rose.
Big red rose and a red clip.
This one?
-Yes. -How about this one?
Em, I didn't pay attention close enough.
-No, this is bigger. I think it's smaller. -Oh.
I think it was smaller.
-She had a clip on her scarf, too. -I know.
-Oh, you got it. Okay. -I think it was this one.
All right, let's try.

LUIS: You see 'em?

And there's an Orson.

Yes.
-Welcome to Ronda in Spain. -Yes.
-Gracias. Gracias. [chuckles] -Thank you.
-You knew this was gonna be a tough leg. -MICHELLE: Yeah.
I'm very pleased to tell you that you are team number one.
Yes! Yes.
And you are two legs away,
-MICHELLE: Oh, my God. -if you can make it,
from winning the $1 million prize.
As the first team to arrive,
you have won Expedia reward points
good for a five-night trip for two to...
...Tokyo.
[cheering, laughing]
KEOGHAN: Expedia experts are gonna design
a unique local experience
where you're gonna make sushi at
the Toyosu Fish Market.
You're gonna tour Mount Fuji by helicopter,
learn Japanese calligraphy
-and experience traditional acupuncture. -Wow.
KEOGHAN: Two more legs.
Have you thought about what it would mean
if you won this whole thing?
We're ready. We're ready.
A million dollars would change our future.
-We could start a family, and it would really help us out. -Yeah.
LUIS: We're going into the final four.
I'm thinking more about the million dollars,
getting first, being an Amazing Racechampion.
And we are ready.
Yeah, there it is. Right there.
I have really no idea where we are at,

"I know it has to do with heights,
"but you have better balance than I do.
As long as you don't look down, you're gonna be fine."
I'm about to do something that I never thought I would do.

You're okay, Aubrey. You're okay.
As I started walking, I used my dancer skills,
and I was turning, like, out my feet to walk
and, like, kind of curving them,
like, pointing my feet to hold on to it.
I just told her, "Don't look down."
I said, "Aubrey, whatever you do, don't look down."
I'm really scared right now, but I'm not even gonna look,
because I just need to get there.
Claire, how you doing, mami?
Please don't talk to me. I'm sorry.
Huh?
-Don't talk to me. -Sorry.
Talking was actually helping me.
CLAIRE: This is horrible. This was a mistake.
Right away, I'm like, "Derek should've done this."

I think this is one of the worst things I've ever done.
She has a great memory,
which is part of why I was happy for her to do this one,

your brain's not really working.

We got a check. We were told it was no good.
Um...
We do know that when the, uh...
the pros believe it, uh, the arch is stable,
they're gonna pull this wood out.
So, but they won't pull that wood out until
-They believe it's... -they believe it'll hold.
MICHAEL: We looked at the example.
The pieces that touch the wood,
like, those pieces of brick have to connect with each other.
They had space here,
so, like, they were touching towards the wood at the base.
And so, a couple of mine,
they would, like, be more spread out and be layered like that.
They all got to be touching. That makes sense now.
We had a couple of, uh,
bricks over here touching without any rocks.
CLAIRE: Oh, my God. I hate this.

It really is awesome. Like,
we don't get to spend this time with each other.
