Welcome to the explosive finale of The Amazing Race Australia!
This season...
Three, two, one - go!
...13 celebrity teams...
♪ Would you like a juice? ♪
[CHEERING]
...strapped in... [SCREAMING]
...for an incredible adventure.
[RETCHES] I can't!
The rivalry! [ALL ROAR]
New team outfit!
[COUGHS] Are you... You're not OK?
Can just shut up?
With 14 legs done and dusted, now it all comes down to this -
three celebrity teams remain.
I love you. I love you. Love you.
Entertainment powerhouses Rob Mills and Georgie Tunny.
Throughout this whole race,
we've learnt resilience and mental toughness.
Keep going babe.
To see each other, at our wits end...
[GROANS] J...
That wasn't for you.
...then push through that barrier,
seeing the resilience in each other,
Georgie and I deserve to be here.
Love you.
[CHIME REVERBERATES]
How's the serenity, Steve?
STEVE: Not now, Bernard.
Iconic acting brothers Steve and Bernie Curry.
Being brothers, there is a bond, there is an understanding.
Is that OK with your knee? Not really, no.
No matter how low we get in this competition,
we're still going to give it a crack.
Go, Scott! Hubba, hubba, come to mama!
And reality star Aesha and her partner, Scott.
I think what we've learned along the way is
we are very much the yin and the yang of each other.
Woo-hoo!
But when we're throwing into the most intense situations ever...
Making them too pointy. Thanks for the encouragement.
Yes, we might bicker, but we're going to get through it together.
Hey! Thank you.
These three teams are all determined to win
and take home a cool $100,000 for their charity of choice.
We're going out with a bang here in the shadows of Mount Merapi,
one of the fieriest and most active volcanoes in the world.
It's time for the ultimate showdown.
Welcome to the grand final of The Amazing Race Australia.
[ALL CHEER]
Aesha and Scott, Rob and Georgie, Stephen and Bernie,
When we started, 13 teams lined up
hoping to be here in the spot you're in right now,
with a chance to win $100,000 for charity.
You get one shot at this.
Rob and Georgie, you have had more wins than anyone else on this series.
Ooh. [LAUGHS] Thank you.
Now, you have been engaged for four years.
You said if you win The Amazing Race Australia,
you will get married at the Pit Stop.[BOTH LAUGH]
Well, does the offer still stand?
BOTH: Yes. Oh, my God!
100%. 100%.
Aesha and Scott, you are the wildcards.
You're either at the front or the back.
You are so inconsistent it is not even funny.
We're gonna be at the top today. I've got a good feeling.
You are racing in honour of your late brother Reuben,
on behalf of the Peace Of Mind Foundation. Yep.
Huge motivation. Yep.
My brother Reuben passed away from brain cancer.
And I... You know, I look around this view today,
and I just think how much Reuben would love to be here.
So, because he can't be here, I want to be here for him
and just enjoy every second of life.
Stephen and Bernie, your knees were gone in Sri Lanka, mate.
I thought you were gone. Never once thought of quitting.
Our mum raised us to believe in ourselves and to never give up.
And we're doing it for her. Beautiful.
Before we start, you're going to need these.
Can one member of each team please step forward and take your clue.
Each challenge today will be testing skills you've honed
over the last 14 legs.
Thank you. Thanks, mate.
Cheers, mate.
Alright. Are we ready?
ALL: Yeah!
Race hard. Race fast.
But above all, race safe.
Three, two, one - go!
Let's go. OK. Route Info.
"Finalist, test your agility, strategy and teamwork..."
"In a battle of kebo-keboan, a Javanese bullfighting ritual.
Over the years, I've taken part in plenty of different cultural activities,
but this one is the most unique.
The Kebo-keboan Festival celebrates the buffalo.
And in this challenge, our celebrities are taking part.
They'll be moving flaky rice husks across a deep, muddy field.
Quite easy, right? Well, you haven't met the opposition, have you?
[BOTH GROWL]
Standing in our celebs' way -
two traditional buffalo who'll stop at nothing to slow them down.
Once they fill their baskets to the red line,
they'll receive their next clue.
Right.
Still got it.
Wow! Oh, my gosh! Let's go.
ROB: Drive safely.
Alright. Here we are.
We're starting today at level pegging.
And it is all or nothing.
Right now, I am full of beans.
We've come this far. Oh, I know we can win. We can win this.
We're following him? Yes.
Robert, we're away. And I think we're just ahead of everyone.
ROB: For us to win the competition today, we have to be on our game.
Read our clues. Yeah.
Attention to detail.
It's all on the line. This is grand final day.
Oh, my God. I've gone the wrong way.
We're in third place now, but it doesn't really matter because...
Oh, God.
We've already got the wrong way!
Oh, my God, we've gotta turn around. OK.
BERNIE: Keep going. Yeah. AESHA: They're turning around.
Oh, you can actually go backwards, in reverse.
But just be careful when you're reversing.
[LAUGHS] They're going backwards.
I'm doing it just enough that they can't get past.
[SCOTT LAUGHS]
A three-point turn. [ROB AND GEORGIE] Oh!
Nice! Just like that, baby, we are first.
Don't be skimming down here, - though. - Suck on that!
Did we already start this race going the wrong way?
Yes. Yeah. Great.
Alright, let's go, go, go!
Oh, the fogged-up glasses! The old fogged-up glasses routine.
OK, here we go.
Oh, kebo-keboan!
[PERCUSSIVE INSTRUMENTS PLAY]
Oh, my God, this is brilliant!
Oh! Oh, my God, it looks so exciting.
[GEORGIE LAUGHS]
Which one do you want? This - one? - Oh, my God. Funny. This is so funny!
It is these men that have been, like, dressed up as bulls.
They look like something out of a scary movie, though, don't they?
OK, so we need to get rice from that side to the side!
Oh, is it with your hands?
Oh, my God! I've got the tiniest hands known to man.
This is my equipment.
And this is Scott's equipment.
Like, I'm really not gonna be much help here.
[GROWLING]
If I had a dime for every time someone has accused me
of having rice-husk holding hands,
I would be a rich man.
GEORGIE: Oh, he's so scary!
OK. OK, here we go.
Ugh! Oh, you...
BERNIE: These guys who are dressed as bulls meant - business. - They did.
You didn't want to look them in the eye because you thought,
"They're gonna steal my soul."
Beastly, beastly men. Beastly man.
Watch your knee, Steve! My knee is playing on my mind.
I am actually down to about 25%.
I don't want that to be the reason we can't win this.
Right, go together. Yeah, go together.
And one of us gets through.
GEORGIE: Oh... I cannot believe that it is this exhausting.
Just dragging your feet out of the mud every single time.
And I'm trying to pull off, like, stepping manoeuvres
like I'm Benji Marshall or something.
Agh!
But I do love the cowbell. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
Oh, yeah. I didn't even hear that. I was too focussed on staying alive.
Whoo!
Agh!
Oh!
AESHA: Go, honey!
Oh!
Go away! You're a bully.
Oh!
This is so tiring!
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
STEVE: We're getting there. BERNIE: Three-quarters full.
Ah... [BLEEP!]
Ow. Ah, man.
Watch your knee! Agh... [BLEEP!]
Because of all the adrenaline,
I don't even know if my knee's gone at this point.
I just know I haven't got the strength to get up.
- The bull helped me up? - Yeah. I think he felt sorry for you.
I don't want to end my race here. We want to win it.
What if one of us grabs and the other blocks?
And I thought, "Well, I'm not running anymore. Make him do that."
I went into defensive mode.
Go, Berns!
Yes, Bernie!
That's the way, Berns. Can we do that?
I can see that Bernie and Steve employed the distraction technique.
Brilliant. Smart move.
I'll keep distracting them!
Go, babe.
OK. One more, one more.
Go, Berns!
[ROARS]
Yes, Bernie!
Check, please!
How are they full already? Oh, they got big hands, that's why.
[GROWLS]
[BOTH CHEER]
GEORGIE: They're already done.
Bernie.
Quick, quick. Let's go.
Where's the tap? Twist it.
I'll just shower with you.
ROB: Keep going, babe, we're nearly there.
[GROANS] Well done.
I'm so tired.
Rip-rip!
"Route Info. Test your precision, patience and strength.
"Drive to the old quarry and master the ancient trade
"of volcanic rock splitting."
Ooh! What?
Volcanic rocks around Mount Merapi
are said to be some of the toughest and hardest in the world,
which makes them perfect to use in construction,
especially the temples.
The local stone splitters have mastered the art
of cutting and crafting these rocks into usable chunks.
In this challenge, our celebs must crack on
and use the locals' technique
to split two volcanic rocks right down the middle.
First, they must chisel two holes along the centre of the stone
before hammering in the split pins,
And, voila!
I'll take it from here, buddy. Good job.
Well done. Oh. Thanks, mate.
Key is not to just come in and smash it.
It's all about timing and precision.
Just like that.
Good job, mate.
It's not that hard, is it? Even though he was working on it
for three and a half weeks before I got here.
STEVE: Bernard, we have found ourselves in first place.
We are in first position
in the grand finale of The Amazing Race Australia.
Let's go! Boom!
Come on, let's go. Game face on.
GEORGIE: Nearly there. One more.
Aesh, one more. Get here, get here!
Check!
[BOTH CHEER]
Thank you!
We grabbed the bull challenge by the horns. [LAUGHS]
Excuse me, excuse me.
We're there.
Check.
Ah! Yes, yes, yes?
Fought well, my friend.
You fought well, my bovine friends.
You fought well.
It's down there.
So we're on the way to stone splitting.
First place. And this is a working quarry.
Oh, Jesus.
Stop, stop, stop! He can go up there, Steve.
He can go up there. Huh?
[HORN BLARES]
Alright, alright, champion!
Keep going back, keep going back.
Did another car come past here?
Yeah. This way? Thank you.
Once he goes...
No, because there's still trucks in the way.
Oh, he's bogged! Bogged.
What do we do, Berns? Let's walk.
Let's go. We don't have to carry our bags.
Oh, hang on, hang on, hang on.
He's up, he's up, he's up, he's going, he's going.
Go, go, go, Steve, don't let any other trucks come up.
Oh... [BLEEP!] ..me!
No, this is... [BLEEP!] ...trucks.
Wow. How fun is this?
Yes! We're right behind them. This is awesome.
There's a car behind us now, Steve.
We can feel our lead that we've built up evaporate.
[HORN BLARES] [BLEEP!]
Yes, we're right behind them. This is awesome.
There's a car behind us now, Steve.
Oh... [BLEEP!] ..me!
OK, this is great. Parking.
OK. Are you ready, Steve? Yep.
Alright. Nice one, honey.
We have to do some volcanic rock splitting.
Let's go.
They're basically working one little groove,
it's about two chisels, and then just make little eyeballs.
[CHEERING]
AESHA: OK. Let's go.
Uh, he had a rock to sit on.
No seat. There ain't no rock seat.
Mmm.
It's haunches time. I'm thinking, "Oh...
"Nigel's gonna love this."
That's my right knee.
My left knee's name is Genevieve.
Mate, how many years would they have been doing this exact technique for?
We're talking thousands, surely.
Where are we?
Doesn't look right, does it?
- Yep. - GEORGIE: Oh, this cannot be right.
[LAUGHS]
Ah, good. Oh, yeah.
We're in a jungle. We're in a jungle.
We found the jungle on top of the volca...
You've run over a tree. Running over a tree. Literally a tree.
There we go. Yeah.
The biggest obstacle between us and winning the Amazing Race
is our sense of direction.
This is the finale.
When do you think it sets in that we just follow signs?
SCOTT: I'm making some good progress, it seems like, so...
AESHA: I'm not.
Scott and I have spent many a night around a campfire,
and he is very, very good at splitting wood.
And so I feel like it'd be a lot of similar techniques.
Oh, yeah, baby!
Being a generally outdoorsy couple
has helped us so much through this race.
Hopefully this is our challenge. We can get a hit.
GEORGIE: We're last. We may as well reverse in.
Ready, babe? Yeah.
Here we go.
Rob and Georgie are here. How are we going, guys?
Good, thanks, mate. How are you?
Yeah. Really good. Great drive.
Hello! Looks good, guys.
- Here we go. - Are you guys doing 2, or 3 or 4?
Huh? What are you guys doing?
2 or 3 or 4 across? SCOTT: I'm not sure.
Aesha's really surprised me on this race with her persistence.
She always keeps a positive attitude.
I'm just super proud of Aesha.
And she's really dug her heels in and never giving up.
And then I feel like Scott's role
is to try and harness my energy
and just face it in the right direction.
Oh, nice!
Yes, yes, yes! Come and do mine. Come and do mine.
There's one.
I'm not far off giving it a crack here, Steve.
Alright.
This is going to be hot. This is gonna be hot.
Oh, yes!
[INDISTINCT]
Yes! Check, check, check!
That is beautiful.
All good? Thank you!
We are the leading team,
which feels very, very good.
But can't celebrate being in the lead too soon.
We just need to stay focussed.
Route Info. OK.
"Test your rhythm and synchronicity as a team.
"Perfect the Dance Of A Thousand Hands.
Alright! Alright.
Cool. Let's do it.
[ALL SHOUT]
This is Rato Jaroe.
It's an enduring Indonesian art form
that has both Islamic and Arabic roots.
Now, it requires rhythm and coordination.
And our celebs will be challenged to learn this complex routine.
It's going to test their teamwork
because they must perform in perfect synchronicity
to receive the next clue.
They won't be getting a round of applause like I just did.
And that's a foot cramp now.
It's moved from my hammy to my foot.
SCOTT: So, what did it say? Dance Of A Thousand Hands?
Yeah, I remember I did an interpretive hand dance
at the start of someone's wedding when I was, like, ten.
GEORGIE: I feel like I've been going for 19 hours,
and I have a little, tiny scrape.
I reckon yours is looking pretty good, Steve.
Really starting to feel the pressure.
Oh, I've got a nice split here. Oh, yes!
Oh, yes.
BOTH: Check, please.
[BOTH CHEER]
Terima kasih. Terima kasih.
Always going to be tough
to try and chase down the people in front of you.
So there's a real challenge ahead of us.
Now, Bearnaise, I don't need to tell you
that we just killed that challenge.
But I also don't need to tell you
that this is a dancing one coming up.
I don't want to slow us down. I don't want to ruin our chances.
I don't want to lose the money for One in Five.
If I do my knee, I'm stretchered out of there.
SCOTT: Alright, let's go.
Alright. Are you ready to dance your little hands off?
If that's what this involves,
I'm ready to dance my little hands off.
Hello!
OK.
Wow!
Whoo!
Very cool. That was great!
Alright, well, we're gonna go learn it. We'll be back.
Yeah. We're gonna learn it. We'll be back. You'll be blown away.
This dance is complicated.
It's quick-moving. The counts are really fast.
We don't know how long we're gonna take.
We don't know how long other teams are going to take.
Every minute that we're learning it and the other teams aren't
is such a blessing.
You look so handsome! Thank you.
You look like Aladdin.
Oh, OK.
Different... Different culture, but, yeah.
Oh, right. Yeah.
ROB: Maybe I go to a bigger piece now
and then start, like, actually bashing with a mallet.
GEORGIE: This is the first time in the race
where challenges aren't really going our way.
Are the boys gone? I think so.
Here, I did it. You did it?
I just split it in half. Yay! OK. Help me.
How do I do that? I don't know.
Roberts nailed his...
Oh!
Check, please. Check, please!
Yeah!
Thank you. Thank you.
When there's only three teams left and you're last,
we need to get out of this next challenge really quickly
and try and peg back some of these positions.
Singing and dancing, babe. Singing and dancing.
You love singing and dancing. Yes.
It's my job. Yeah.
We SHOULD be able to excel at this.
How's your leg? The knee is holding up, barely.
I've got to say, of all of the challenges
that we might have been presented with today...
...the word 'dance' is the last one I want to see.
I go one... Two.
Three, four.
Ugh!
How's your knee? Is it... Yeah, it's absolutely cactus.
We've... I just can't stay in this position much longer.
That kneeling position is not good for my knee.
I'm getting a shooting pain.
if I keep going with these movements,
I'm going to be out.
We can do it.
Clap and there, and clap and elbow.
Uh...
Knee is, um...
...feeling a fairly cacti, but, uh,
we will go at it.
BERNIE: In this race, Steve's never-say-die attitude and positivity
surprised me even more than I thought it would.
[GROANS]
Oh! My feet!
But you can see that he's really almost at his limit.
[WOMAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY] STEVE AND BERNIE: Yes.
Just do it on our feet so you don't have to be on your knee.
Oh...
OK. Let's go perform.
I'm stressed as hell.
We don't want to waste any unnecessary time.
Let's go perform before someone else gets in.
OK. Oh.
One more time from the start.
I don't want to stop. I don't want to slow down.
I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out.
We have to be first.
Brrrrah!
Alright. We want to go perform.
Hello!
[DRUM BEATS RHYTHM]
No! Can we go again?
We need to go practice. Alright.
Aesha's trying to get this done SO quickly.
We need more practice.
So my only advice is to just slow it down.
But I don't like to slow down.
Yeah, well... I think we did bloody well.
So now it's just finessing, isn't it?
ROB: Chickens.
Doesn't look like the place you'd normally see a theatre, babe.
[DOES VOCAL WARM-UP EXERCISES]
My mother makes me munch my mini M&Ms on a Monday morning.
Wah!
Music, singing, performing, acting is life for me.
And it's the reason that we want to win it for our charity,
the Australian Children's Music Foundation.
My mother makes me munch my mini M&Ms on a Monday morning.
Wah! Mwah.
Very good, very good.
That's an incredible amount of musical instruments,
music programs to areas that have had their music funding cut.
This would make a huge difference in the lives of so many children.
Just gotta learn the chorrie. Learn the song.
Sometimes it's more about the performance than the steps.
That's right. That's right.
Tits and teeth. That's right.
Ready? One. Two. Three.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Started to get really frustrated
that we weren't committing this stuff to memory.
Yeah, we're feeling the pressure.
Yes, we are indeed feeling the pressure.
We're going to go straight to last position here.
It's OK, mate.
Shall we try?
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go wrong?
The more we're repeating it,
my knee's getting worse every time.
This speed gets real big on us
and we kind of completely lose our way.
Alright, let's go again.
I'm now starting to think that I'm going to be this weakest link
and that's stinking thinking.
Let's go and just... We just need to get that speed.
Need to get the speed up of the start bit.
Everything else, we've got it.
Thank you.
ROB: Five, six, seven, eight! GEORGIE: Five, six, seven, eight!
Hello!
How are you? Hi.
Very good. Oh, my...
Amazing. Alright, let's go, let's go.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
This chorrie is super fast,
and it reminds me of when I did Grease, The Musical
and we had all this...
...chorrie with all the...
It was so fast, on the bleachers.
I know that we need to practice, practice,
practice, practice, practice, practice until we're both in sync.
Do you want to go the whole thing? Should we do the whole thing now?
Yeah? Yeah. From the top.
From the top. Let's try.
Think maybe throughout the whole race,
our strategy's been 'let's get it right before we go in.'
The other teams just get check, check, check, check...
AESHA: No!
...as many times as possible, as often as possible.
In order for us to catch up...
Practice makes perfect.
OK. Yeah. Let's do it. Ready?
Yes? How are you?
Here?
You look great, babe.
Is that OK? Sure? Shoulder to shoulder?
OK. Shoulder to shoulder.
[BOTH SHOUT]
[CHEERING]
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much. Thank you!
Thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
OK, so Rob and Georgie are in there.
So if they come out and they've gotten it already,
I'm gonna be fuming.
[BOTH CHEER]
Thank you so much!
We're good dancers? We're good to go. Yeah!
Looks like they've got it.
That is a punch in the gut.
The details on this dance could cost us the $100,000 here.
Alright, they got it. Let's go.
Come on, babe. Route Info.
"Racers, in the volcanic ruins of Teras Merapi
"your ultimate test awaits.
Let's go. OK.
It's the final puzzle, the ultimate test.
So hopefully our celebs have been paying attention.
Throughout this race,
our teams have experienced incredible countries
all around the world.
Come on!
At every Pit Stop,
there was a symbol inspired by that leg of the race.
Teams must recall which symbol was at the corresponding Pit Stop
and place them in the correct order.
Once they've solved it, they'll receive their final clue.
Alright, babe, let's go.
Tunny?
Every cloud has a silver lining.
What's the silver lining? We could win this.
This is all of our dreams come true.
We're doing a puzzle. We love puzzles.
- Love 'em. - Love puzzles. Puzzles are our favourite thing.
Puzzle nerds. It's our time to shine.
Team red!
We could win. Yeah!
Don't miss a moment of the action.
With full episodes of The Amazing Race Celebrity Edition
on:
Ah, sorry.
So as soon as we go that...
There, closed.
And we go straight to clap, clap, clap.
Alright. Should we go perform?
I think so. Yeah. Yeah? Let's go.
Rob and Georgie have already left, so pressure is on.
OK, we've got this.
I've never had to resit a dance exam this many times.
[BOTH SHOUT]
Nailed it.
Perfect.
[BOTH CHEER]
Thank you.
We know, at this stage, that we are second.
Oh, my gosh. Let's go.
Alright, let's go. Let's go, let's go.
I know we can catch up.
Right. Let's go.
Program that into the nav instantly.
It's in my pocket.
STEVE: As my knee is getting worse
and we're getting more and more 'No's,
mentally, I'm going to be honest,
I was probably at the lowest ebb of doing this whole race.
Our kids would say, "Just keep going. Just keep trying."
Stop. Sorry. Can we start again?
It feels like this race is just simply slipping through our fingers.
GEORGIE: It's right ahead, see that?
Oh, yeah. I see it, I see it, I see it, I see it.
Your mind starts going crazy when you're at this stage of the race,
and you're so close to the $100,000.
Let's go, brains!
We are in front. We have a great advantage.
And all we have to do is... get it right? Get it right.
Oh, wow! Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness!
This is nuts! Babe...
Alright. We gotta look for our maroon boat.
What I know about the Amazing Race,
you've always got to take in as much of your surroundings as possible,
because it will come back at some point.
Starting there. One. Two. Three. Four. Five.
And then it comes around.
We have to put all of these different symbols
on top of the dragon eggs
in the order that we've seen - them along the way. - Yeah.
OK, here we go. We can do this.
Let's look at them all, because we know certain ones.
Immediately, there's at least six I recognise.
Hang on. Let's just think about flags.
That - Nepal, 100%.
Make way!
That's the emblem at Sri Lanka.
Oh, wow!
That is Uzbekistan.
Rob and Georgie, you are the second team to check in.
Oh, my gosh!
This is from Taiwan.
Whoo! It's freezing!
What's this babe? That's Nepal.
That's the temple that we saw Beau?
Look at this temple! Oh, my gosh!
Ready? Come here.
This is from Taiwan.
Yes! Flags! Oh! Oh!
Do we remember seeing this at all?
I don't remember seeing any of them, babe.
I also don't remember seeing all of them,
but we've seen the countries.
There's some that we have no idea what they are or where they go.
Oh, I don't remember.
It's tough. It's hard.
It's real tough.
This is very tough. It's fine, it's fine.
It's very tough. We've got to keep going, Steve.
Let's just keep going. We'll keep going.
It's actually taking almost all of my will and self-control
to not lose my cool in this moment.
The stakes are so high. There's $100,000 on the line.
And this charity is extremely close to our hearts.
I have some very good friends of ours, the Wardlaw family,
lost their son and brother, Matt,
and they decided not to ever let his death go in vain
and decided to start One In Five.
They raised money to fund research into mental illness.
And we want to win it for them.
[LAUGHS] Thank you.
It's an enormous relief,
but there's no time to be relieved, disappointed, elated.
The game is on and we can't let any more time slip away from us.
So that's three, three, three, three-ish.
Let's give it a go.
Check, please. Check, please.
BOTH: No.
OK. Cool!
Let's get back. OK.
AESHA: Let's go. SCOTT: Alright.
Alright. Oh, my God! This is incredible.
The final puzzle of the Amazing Race!
The pressure's on, to say the least.
So that Buddhist bell, that was the world's largest temple.
Remember, they were everywhere? Yeah.
Whoa, this is steep-as!
Yurt makes sense because Uzbekistan, there was a yurt.
[HORN BLARES]
We first got to Taiwan, and the Taiwanese flag has, like, a sun.
I remember that thing had, like, a sun.
Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka?
That was a flower of some sort.
Flower. Was it a flower?
Was it this, like, a water-looking flower? A water lily, yeah.
You are the first.
So Sri Lanka... Is that Sri Lanka's national flower?
Oh, my God. You're just the smartest person in the whole world, honestly.
Thank God you've been paying attention.
Oh, also, details do matter, don't they?
Yeah, they do! Yes. Slowing things down.
Oh, Steve. That was...
Sorry, Berns. That was brutal.
No, I'm sorry, mate.
We both... kind of cooked the goose on that one.
I'm just a bit devastated that this is how our race
looks like it's going to end.
We like to have a never-say-die attitude,
and that is now starting to wane.
They were brutal on that. And I...
The more my knees started absolutely killing,
the less coordinated I got.
And the only thing that got me to the end of that was the kids.
I want to show them that you don't give up.
I want to set a good example for 'em.
Winning the money for the charity, and, like...
Of course you do, mate. You're bloody giving everything, mate.
It's fine. We're coming up to the last challenge.
They wouldn't have called it the ultimate test if it wasn't.
Anything can happen, Stevie! We are still in the race.
BERNIE: That really stitched us up, that dance thing. But that's OK.
Grand finale is always going to test you.
We are in proper last place.
But this is The Amazing Race Australia.
You're always in it, until you're not.
Steve, we're almost there. Alright, here we go, Bruns!
Let's get our head in the game.
We see the other two teams are at it and they're calling for checks.
Check, please!
Check.
We're now back on a level playing field.
OK, let's just walk methodically through it.
Now, I'm almost certain that's Uzbekistan.
It was more recent. Was it?
Yep. That was more recent.
That was the one that we saw yesterday.
Was it? Yeah, two days ago.
We've seen a bunch of images
on some of the flags beside Beau at Pit Stops.
This is... I'm going to say that's the thing that Uzbekistan.
That is 100% that.
And we now know all we've got to do is keep a level head.
I reckon swap those around.
Yeah.
I reckon that feels right.
GEORGIE: Do we remember seeing this at all?
ROB: The target. Yeah.
- I think so. - It looks kind of like Sri Lankan-y.
What is this? [LAUGHS]
What are you?
There have to be right. Everything else makes sense.
We've seen symbols.
Check, please.
I'm worried that he doesn't know how to nod.
It's a shake of the head! OK, let's just think.
What on earth is this?
What did we do this day, again? I don't know.
I'm just not sure.
On everything else, I know, - 100%. - Yeah.
So much going on in this moment.
All the teams are here. My memory is shot.
This is the ultimate bloody test, that's for sure.
Alright, check! Another check, please.
BOTH: No.
Hundred percent, I know Rob and Georgie have no clue.
- Really? - Yeah. I'm concerned about Bernie.
I know Bernie's been... Oh, he has been.
He's been very, like... Studious.
...after the Pit Stop, I've noticed him kind of looking around at things.
Yeah.
Let's just talk about this for a second.
Just take our time and talk about this for a second.
We know a lot of these symbols,
and with MOST of the symbols,
we know that we've got the country right.
Should we just call for a check and see?
Yep. Check, please.
What about that flower over there with the target?
We feel like we are SO close.
But there is one symbol that we cannot, for the life of us,
figure out where it came from.
And that was the target.
Looked like a bull's eye.
You haven't seen that dot - anywhere? - No.
Can you move this here, babe? Where's this go?
This one here. It's got to go in 13.
If we were to lose The Amazing Race due to a puzzle,
it would be such a shame.
And I would feel betrayed. By your brain.
No! By the puzzle. Oh, by the puzzle.
Oh, God. I don't know.
But what does the target signify?
Two circles - looked like a target, looked like a bull's eye -
and we're trying to figure it out.
Come on!
There was a race to get to Beau at the Pit Stop
on the beach in Sri Lanka.
Yeah!
And I saw an image there, which was two green birds...
With a target on top of them.
The circular targets were the symbol.
Yeah?
Check, please.
Oh!
They got it. Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, they got it right.
Yes! You beauty!
Terima Kasih!
Thank you, thank you. Oh, my God.
We are now back in first place in The Amazing Race finale.
This is unbelievable!
They've got their dot where the... [INDISTINCT]
Quick, quick, quick!
ROB: Target, go!
GEORGIE: How did they figure that out?
Go, go, go!
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, my God!
Ready?
"Find Beau at your final Pit Stop for The Amazing Race Australia.
"Drive to Sumberwatu and be the first one on the mat
"to win $100,000 for your chosen charity."
This is where it all ends - the grand finale.
And where better for the final blow-out than here,
overlooking the volcanic Mount Merapi.
Welcome to the Pacific Ring of Fire,
and the Pit Stop for the final leg of The Amazing Race Australia.
And that's real fire.
And I'm flammable.
Let's go, mate.
Check.
Jesus Christ!
Whoo!
Thank you! Thank you! Gotta rush.
Alright, let's go.
Check, please.
[BOTH CHEER]
Finally! Thank you. Thank you.
Do we know where we're going, Berns? Tell me where I'm - going. - Can you get under this thing?
AESHA: I'm just gonna start driving, OK?
Need to do it the fastest you've ever done it in your life.
ROB: Come on, let's go! Let's go.
SCOTT: Wait! Don't run people over. Just go straight.
[CRASH!]
Oh... [BLEEP!]
Just so you know, that wasn't my fault.
Straight? Uh... Hang on, Steve.
Oh, man, there's a fork.
Alright. Just... Straight, still?
Straight. Straight?
To the right. Yep.
Left.
Oh, my God, have they just going the wrong way?
OK. Now, Satnav has told us to go a different route...
Yeah. ...to Scott and Aesh.
Every route that we've taken today has been the wrong way.
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Tell me what's happening, - Berns. - No, no, no. We've taken a wrong turn left.
The next left, if you can, Steve.
Next left.
Oh... [BLEEP!] ..man! Yeah, it's back there and left.
Dude! Just go straight. Go straight. Go straight.
Straight ahead, Berns? Yes. Straight ahead.
Gotta have eyes on the road.
I need you navigating.
No wrong turns, no missteps.
[MURMURS] Jesus...
It's like in Mario Kart.
I did not expect it to come down to
literally like what feels like it's going to be a foot race.
This is where you could make the worst move of the entire race,
right now. People would just die!
To snatch defeat from victory now would be devastating, Berns.
Would die.
We don't know how far behind the other teams are,
but we know they are just as hungry as we are
to win that $100,000 for their charity.
Butterflies...
...the size of Gibraltar in my tummy right now, Steve.
I'm real nervous, babe.
We're gonna get there, babe. We're gonna sprint to the line.
It could be a foot race to the end.
And I'm not going to be amazing in a foot race.
We need to be out to the boot, sprinting.
100%.
Parking. What? Where?
Straight up, straight up, parking.
This could be a theatre. Ah!
Oh! The key. The key. Ah!
OK. Alright, we need to go. We need to go.
Don't stress. Don't stress. Hold on to me. Hold on me.
Go, Tunny!
This is it.
GEORGIE: Up ahead.
Here we go. Here we go! We've got a team coming in.
[CHEERING]
Whoo!
One, two, three!
Stephen and Bernie, you are the first team to check in,
And winners of The Amazing Race Australia!
You have won $100,000 for One In Five!
There you go!
You have won $100,000 for One In Five, your charity.
Oh, my God! I cannot believe it!
That is unbelievable.
It's surreal. We didn't give up.
We, um... We wanted to do it for...
well, for One In Five, for our charity,
but it's all... it's about our kids and our families.
Our wives, our mum, our dad.
We know winning Amazing Race is a really tough thing to do,
and I can't even believe that we've done it.
And the experience that I've had with my brother and my best friend
is something that I will just never, ever forget.
[CHEERING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Rob and Georgie,
you are the runners-up for Amazing Race Australia.
Everything you guys have done,
you've competed with a smile
and that's what the race is all about.
ROB: It's the only way you can do this.
How often do you get to come to these countries
and get to go on these incredible experiences?
You've also put your charity,
Australian Children's Music Foundation, up in lights.
Yeah, I'm hoping more people get on board
and have a look at the amazing work they do around the country.
What an incredible experience.
I mean, sure, we're not going to get married on the show, but that's OK.
GEORGIE: Beau would have been a great celebrant.
Oh, honey! Oh, cool.
Aesha and Scott.
that makes you the third team.
[CHEERING]
Aesha, Reuben, he is watching you now, and he is smiling.
He is extremely proud of you.
Thank you.
Regardless if you were first in, second or third,
you have accomplished the race. That is a huge feat.
You should be very proud.
And your charity's names are up there for Australia to see.
Just feel such a sense of pride.
It has. It's been so much fun, though.
Look at these incredible people
that I got to share this journey with - my friends for life.
Yeah!
[ALL CHEER AND CHATTER]
BERNIE: This whole crazy adventure has been epic.
It feels like it's been like a - year. - Has it been real? It's real.
We have gotten through this whole experience, this whole race,
I guess, loving each other even more now than we ever thought we could.
Mmm.
If you think the stories aren't going to get taller and taller as the years go on,
you're sadly mistaken. They'll be big.
I love you, brother. I love you to bits.
Oh, brother. I love you.
We've had a ball.
