they were gonna U-Turn us.

Jack and Chelsie, you have been

In the last leg,

And if we can go very fast, we
want to beat these other teams.

KEOGHAN: Once again,
Jas and Jag led the pack
Good work.
You are team number one.
- Let's go!
- Oh!
KEOGHAN: winning
their fourth leg in a row
and a spot in the final three.
Kyland and Taylor got off
to a slow start.
Oh, this traffic is rough.
But Kyland overcame
his biggest fear
Wow. Well done.
I'm not a dancer,
so-so I'm a little emotional.
KEOGHAN: to help him
and Taylor claim their spot
in the final leg.
You are team number two.
Clinching our spot
in the finale.
Oh, we choked.
KEOGHAN: Joseph and Adam
couldn't find the beat.
Aah!
That was a lot.
KEOGHAN: And Izzy
struggled at the Roadblock.
KEOGHAN: Now these two teams
are racing to the Pit Stop
for a place in the final three.
First and third, they're
doesn't matter on this leg.
- They're the same thing.
- I know, I know, I know.
We're fighting
for our spot in finale,
and we're praying
that this pays off.
- We're gonna get out here.
- Merci.
- Thank you.
- [speaks French]
Come on, Adam.
Phil, where are you?
He's not here.
This is it.
He has to be here.
Maybe it's down there, Adam?
Uh, we hope that other teams
are doing poorly
with the Scramble.
Um, we love
Joseph and Adam, but
JOSEPH:
Maybe he's down here, Adam.
ADAM: Joseph, we
might be going too far.
JOSEPH:
I don't see him.
We might be
in the wrong direction.
ADAM: That's what I'm saying.
I think we have to go back.
Let's go back across.
PAIGE:
This is where we say au revoir.
IZZY:
Merci. Merci.
It's around here. Let's go.
- PAIGE: Okay.
- IZZY: Yes, yes, yes. Go.
Oh, no. I'm looking for Phil.
I don't know
if we're gonna find him.
IZZY: Oh, I see him,
I see him, I see him!
I see him, I see him.
Let's go. I see him.
Phil!
Phil.
Joseph and Adam.
Don't give me an eyebrow
unless we're running
for a million dollars.
This eyebrow is
for third place on this leg.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- Aah!
- [laughs]
ADAM:
Let's go.
We have put our blood,
sweat, tears, sugar,
- Everything.
- everything we have into this,
and we are gonna
bring that money home.
- [laughs]
- Hello.
[Izzy laughs]
- Hey.
- Hi, Phil.
I just want to say
that I'm so proud of this woman.
I don't care what he says next,
because you're
the love of my life
and I think you're excellent.
Izzy and Paige
Yeah, that's the tone.
you are the last team
to arrive.
-And unfortunately,
-Yeah.
your Amazing Race
has come to an end.
IZZY: This is something we
never thought we would do.
And and now I can't
imagine our life
never having done it.
You have so much to be proud of.
We're really honored
- Yeah.
- to be here. Thank you.
It was really a privilege.
Thank you.
We joked that when I first
got the call forBig Brother,
the first thing
we said to each other was like,
"Okay, but we ain't never doing
The Amazing Race."
[Izzy and Paige laugh]
We were really scared
to do this, and we thought
we would never do it,
and we thought we could
never do it.
I'm gonna think
about the race every day.
PAIGE:
I'm gonna take, like,
a week off, and then
Yeah, then I'll probably
feel about the same.
I'm I'm an all-in person.
[both laugh]
KEOGHAN: Now, only three teams
remain in thisAmazing Race.
This feels like
The Amazing Race.
JAG:
We came into the race not really
knowing how we would perform,
and at this point,
we've had six first places.
Let's go!
- You are team number one.
- Let's go.
JAG:
We're the only team that have
won a leg of the race,
so we feel confident
in our abilities
to keep doing
what we've been doing.
We're not gonna put our foot off
the gas pedal now.
- TAYLOR: Oh, I got it.
- Let's go!
TAYLOR: The journey to
get to this position has been
a ride.
It's really hard
to find anything around here.
Clawing our way to the top.
- Yes!
- KYLAND: I believe in you, baby.
You got this.
TAYLOR:
It's just confirmation that
when we work in tandem,
we can accomplish anything.
- Let's go!
- We got the Express Pass!
Whoo!
We're ready for this moment,
and we're ready to get this win.
- We got a big hug for you, Phil! Phil!
- No, no, no. No, no. No, no.
ADAM: We've had severe
highs and lows in this race,
even coming to the point
where we were almost eliminated.
KEOGHAN:
This is a non-elimination leg,
and you are both
still in the race.
ADAM: We're facing
these strong competitors,
we're facingBig Brother
winners, and then, on top
of all that, Joseph and I
have to deal with my diabetes.
My sugar might drop,
but this is a real drop, so,
orange juice is needed now.
Our grit and perseverance
has paid back tenfold.
We just need to win one leg
to win this race.
JOSEPH: And the most
important leg is coming up.
You are looking at the next
winners of The Amazing Race.
We are going
to win The Amazing Race.
We're gonna win
The Amazing Race.
- Let's see.
- Route Info.
"Fly to your final destination:
- New York City."
- New York City.
KEOGHAN: The final three teams
will now fly west,
across the expansive
Atlantic Ocean,
to New York City.
"You've got $550
for this leg of the race."
- Let's go.
- Wow. Let's go.
JAG:
New York City.
We're at the final leg, finally.
JAG:
We need to get to the airport.
JAS:
So, so far we've had six wins.
But we're not counting
any of the other teams out.
We just have to run
the strongest leg
that we've ran yet.
Jag and Taylor have this, uh,
winners, you know, sort of
- Battle royale.
- battle between them.
Um, who could be the first,
you know,
person to win Big Brother
and The Amazing Race.
- Yeah. Merci.
- Merci. Merci.
TAYLOR:
We've taken out titans before,
so I know we can do it again.
JOSEPH:
It all comes down to this leg.
JOSEPH: Adam and I have
zero room for error.
KYLAND: We are running
against incredibly strong teams,
so we have to be on our A game.
- JOSEPH: Here we go.
- We're off to New York
with Jag and Jas
and Adam and Joseph.
ADAM:
New York, here we come.
♪
♪
♪
New York is known
as the gateway to the world.
Forty percent of this country's
population are descended
from immigrants who arrived here
at Ellis Island.
Known as The Big Apple,
this city is a symbol
of excitement,
opportunity and success,
something the final three teams
will get a shot at
when they race
to the finish line.
- KYLAND: It's all you, babe.
- TAYLOR: Go, go, go, go. Taxi!
- Taxi, baby!
- Taxi, taxi. - Taxi, taxi.
JOSEPH:
Finale, let's go!

Babe! Right here, right here,
right here. Okay.

- Hi.
JAG: Empire State Building?
Thank you, thank you.
We have to hurry.
We have to beat the taxi
in front of us.
Please, please, please.
- Good job.
- Yes. Whoo!
- Thank you so much.
- Don't let them get in front.
Follow them.
We need to beat that taxi.
- TAYLOR: Yes. Whoo!
- KYLAND: Whoo.
- KYLAND: What's your name?
- Luka.
- You're on the purple team now, all right, Luka?
- Be purple, Luka.
Adam and I are going
for our first first.
Our momentum's high,
our energy's high.
Our speed limit is low, low.
What's your name?
- Pardeep.
- Pardeep? What's up?
JAS: By chance, having
a Punjabi Sikh taxi driver
that was huge.
ADAM [laughing]:
Let's go.
Oh, wow. Look, they're going
If you could please make sure
- that we keep up with them.
- ADAM: Yeah.
JAS:
Oh, my God.
This is our brother right here.
JAG: And he is
just, like, on our side.
JAS: The-the entrance
is gonna be on this side.
It's right there.
- It's right there, Jaga.
- JAG: Okay. I see.
JAS:
Okay.
JAG:
Okay, let's go.
We got to go.
JAG:
Right here.
Oh, there's the clue.
I see the clue box.
- All right, let's go.
- On the left right here.
- JAS: Okay.
- First team here.
- Route Info.
- Route Info.
"Rappel down
the Empire State Building
from a height of over 1,200 feet
to receive your next clue."
The Empire State Building is
the most photographed building
in the world,
the world's most famous building
and the number one
Uber destination.
Towering 1,454 feet
above the city,
only 20 people have ever
rappelled from the top.
But that will all change today
when the final three teams
make the descent of their lives,
rappelling from the 103rd floor
to the 90th.
They'll then
pick up a clue
and keep on racing.
- All right.
- Let's go.
JAS: Final leg. This
is for a million dollars.
Million-dollar jog.
We both like heights
and we both like
the adrenaline and the thrill.
1,200 feet.
We love this kind
of stuff, so
This is gonna be
This is gonna be
pretty incredible.
- Hope you're ready.
- Oh, wow. I feel my ears pop.
- Ears.
- Yeah, it's gonna happen.
- [laughs]
- First team here.
Let's keep the momentum going.
We will be back
as fast as we can.
- TAYLOR: Ooh.
- KYLAND: Okay.
- There's the clue box.
- TAYLOR: Clue box.
"Rappel down the
Empire State Building -Yes!
"from a height
of over 1,200 feet
to receive your next clue."
Let's do it.
- I'll take you.
- Thank you very much.
- TAYLOR: Thank you so much.
- What your name?
- Shavonne.
- Shavonne. Thank you, Shavonne.
TAYLOR:
Shavonne, nice to see you.
JAS:
This is so cool.
JAG: We're at the
Empire State Building.
Whoo! Yeah, we are.
Let's go.
Oh. Oh, my God.
I haven't gotten
to do a height challenge yet,
so I'm pretty stoked.
-We haven't seen any
-We don't see any of them,
- of the other teams.
- which is good news.
JAS: Any leg up we
can get, we'll take.
One thing Kyland said
he wanted to do
on this entire race,
it was rappel down a building.
KYLAND: How many people
have rappelled down
the Empire State Building?
- Right.
- Two more are about to.
JOSEPH: I definitely think that
right now, they believe
this is a battle
for first between
twoBig Brother winners, but
that is gonna be the biggest
mistake those two teams make.
There it is.
"Rappel down
the Empire State Building
"from a height
of over 1,200 feet
- of over 1,200 feet to receive your next clue."
- Okay.
ADAM:
Holy crap.
Ooh, I know. [Laughs]
I know I'm happy.
I know you're not. [laughs]
ADAM: Joseph is
an adrenaline junkie.
- Yeah.
- JOSEPH: You got it.
Don't overthink it, Adam.
Don't get in your head.
I wish I could take his spot.
I know
he's terrified of heights.
1,200 feet, baby.
ADAM:
So when he says things to me
about height challenges,
I'm like, "Be quiet, crazy.
Go get some help."
[panting]
Ooh, this is about
This is about to be a scene.
MAN:
You're gonna feel
how much pressure you need
to pull that for this to move.
There you go.
- There you go. - You got it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Thank you so much. Bye.
- Thank you so much, Shavonne.
- Hello. Hi.
- Hey.
[speaking indistinctly]
- TAYLOR: Thank you so much.
- I'm Carlos.
Kyland and Taylor
just showed up.
Have fun, guys.
- KYLAND: You too.
- TAYLOR: You guys have fun!
There's the safety.
That's gonna be the main.
KYLAND:
We are getting ready to rappel
and, uh, putting on all the gear
and trying to catch up
- to Jag and Jas, who we just saw head upstairs.
- TAYLOR: Yeah.
JOSEPH:
Breathe out. Look at us go.
Look at us go.
- Yes.
- Don't worry.
- Buddy, you got it.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- You got it, baby.
ADAM:
We get to the top floor.
- Now I'm really getting scared.
- MAN: Well, let's get you all
- harnessed up, get going.
- ADAM: Yes, sir.
I just wanted to get this done
and get out there
as soon as I can.
MAN:
Nervous?
JAG:
This is wild.
♪
MAN:
Take one step a little closer.
JAG: Woo-hoo-hoo!
- MAN: Good? Good.
- Yup.
JAG: About to go down
the Empire State Building.
JAS:
Of all the buildings
in New York,
it's the Empire State Building
that we're rappelling off of.
Like, that is so cool.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
We're over a thousand feet
in the sky.
Whoo!
I've never seen anything
like this before.
JAS:
This is so amazing.
I need Jag to rappel faster
so I can go next.
JAG:
Whoo!
Wow.
Wow, wow.
Like, this is just so beautiful.
Whoa.
That's crazy.
Oh, my God.
- MAN: Watch your head here.
- TAYLOR: Yup.
So you're gonna put your
safety on. First thing first.
- We're doing that?
- Yeah.
- We're-we're gonna be right there with you.
- They're doing it, too.
- Your right hand stays on here.
- JAS: Yup.
Your left hand goes
on this lever. Good job.
- Slow is fast.
- Slow is fast.
Yes, sir.
Woo-hoo-hoo!
Oh, man.
JOSEPH:
Oh, look who it is! Adam.
- He's doing it!
- ADAM: I'm not looking, man. Leave me alone.
JAS:
Woo-hoo-hoo!
While I was rappelling down,
I paused
for a second
and took in my view.
This is so gorgeous!
This was
a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
JAG:
Man, he's going slow as hell.
Hey, Jasu, we're still
in a race. You remember?
JAS:
Oh, yeah!
- MAN: Come up here.
- KYLAND: All right. Over here.
I'm so excited. This is amazing.
We're in second place right now,
but where we need to be
is first, so,
hope we can keep
closing that space.
JAG: We're racing for a
million dollars. Come on.
JAS: I'm coming!
JAG: You finally learned how to
rappel at the very last moment.
JAS:
We went from the 103rd floor
Good work.
JAS:
to the 90th floor.
Wow.
So we went down 13 stories.
- Thank you.
- Oh, my gosh.
Thank you so
- All right, awesome.
- You got it.
JAG:
All right, let's do this.
TAYLOR:
Let's go, baby.
Whoo!
KYLAND: Oh, my God.
I grew up deathly afraid
of heights
and kind of pushed past that
in, like, my late teens,
and really aggressively
found ways to attack it.
And now it's, like,
this is another level.
Go slow and steady.
And you're looking at all
the iconic New York skyline
from a bird's-eye view
so few people ever get to see.
JAS:
Such a beautiful view.
- We're in the front of the pack.
- We're in the front of the pack.
JAG:
We're trying to maintain that.
I was happy to take it in,
and now,
we're back
into race mindset, so
Yup. Racing.
We're racing back.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
KYLAND:
I will never forget this.
JAG:
It's incredible.
- Okay. Route Info.

[munching loudly]
- Okay.
- Okay, let's go.
JAG:
Let's find Pardeep.
- That our boy?
- There he is. Let's go, let's go.
Our boy waited.
We told him we would be back,
he told us he would be here,
and he was here, so
So I would say we're in
an alliance with him right now.
- JAS: Yeah.
- JAG: Let's maintain this lead.
TAYLOR: We're in second place.
I just got
to get down the building
before anybody else can.
- JOSEPH: Adam.
- I don't want to talk right now.
I literally feel like I'm dying.
[groans]
- Are you going with me?
- No, sir.
ADAM:
Oh, my God, Joseph.
Yeah, I'm right here with you,
Adam.
ADAM:
[gasps] Now what do I do?
Turn around
and lean into your harness.
ADAM:
Now I'm really scared.
MAN:
Just sit down.
Oh, my God.
Aah!

TAYLOR:
Whoo!
Sit down into it.
It's gonna resist you.
- There you go, buddy.
- MAN: There you go.
ADAM:
I'm not looking at Joseph.
I'm looking
at my shaking legs and feet.
Let go a little bit.
Now kick your feet
against the building.
- MAN: You got this.
- JOSEPH: Kick off.
There you go. Now walk down.
- [Adam gasps]
- MAN: It's okay.
- No.
- MAN: You're okay.
[Adam exclaims]
[exclaims]

- MAN: Yup.
- JOSEPH: Bring it back.
- MAN: And now go again.
JOSEPH:
And then inch it.
- MAN: You got it. Beautiful.
- JOSEPH: There Slowly.
ADAM: I would have never thought
that I would rappel down
the Empire State Building.
Am I there yet?
JOSEPH:
Yeah, almost. Keep going.
ADAM:
I'm still so high up.
JOSEPH: I'll meet you
at the bottom, buddy.
- ADAM: Yup.

ADAM:
Did a bird just poop on me?
JOSEPH:
Good job, buddy.
I cannot believe
Adam's on the side
of the Empire State Building.
My parents are gonna kill me.
ADAM:
Oh, my God.
Oh, I got a long way to go.
TAYLOR:
This is an unreal experience.

KYLAND: You're killing
it, you are amazing.
TAYLOR:
Yay!
This is unreal.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I love New York.
- KYLAND: Great job, babe.
- Woo-hoo!
We definitely have
a little catching up to do.
We saw Jag and Jas leave here.
So I'm feeling optimistic.
- We can catch up.
- [elevator bell dings]
- Okay, let's do it.
- Yes. Okay, let's go.
JAG:
Yeah. Just keep going, man.
Just keep it up.
JOSEPH: Let's go!
You're almost here.
Slow and steady.
I'm very proud of him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Why am I stopping?
You're good. You're good.
You did it!
- Whoo!

TARA:
Yes, you're done.

KYLAND: So we just left
the Empire State Building.
We got our man Luka here, and
he's taking us around the city,
so we're hoping to catch up.
Can't let her lose.
I mean, she's a winner.
- Oh, my God. [laughs]
- She's a winner nonstop.
I can't be the one to bring
her down, so you know, today
And I can't be the one to have
you continue your track record.
This is the curse-breaking leg
for Kyland Young.
Today is the day that you
and your name are etched
in history as a champion.
ADAM: Almost there.
Come on, baby. Come on.
JOSEPH:
I'm going.
Whoo!
- Whoo!
- We did that.
Now we got to go win this thing.
Congratulations.
Here's your next clue.
[whooping]
- Thank you.
- Let's do this.
Adam, you did that.
ADAM:
Crazy.
JOSEPH:
That's nuts.
JAG:
Okay, so we go
to Epices Bakery first
and then deliver it
to 1900 Broadway.
JAS: Okay, on the right.
Oh, it's just right on the street.

Yes. Thank you.

- MAN: Hello, sir.
JOSEPH: We are
racing for a million dollars.
We're feeling as best as we can.
I mean, that was
a huge obstacle for us.
Adam is formerly petrified
of heights, but not anymore.
He is an expert now.
I'm very proud of him.
We know we're
in third place right now,
but that's not gonna stop us.
We can pass one of them
in a taxi.
KYLAND:
Epices Bakery.
Oh, right there.
Yeah, we see it. We see it.

KYLAND:

Nice and fast. Let's move.

- JAS: It really is.
That's why we're trying to get
to every location
as fast as we can.
We have to deliver
to 1900 Broadway.
I don't know what it is.
Whatever this is, I'm excited.
- JAS: Okay, we're here.
- We're at 1900 Broadway.
So you're just gonna
wait for us out here.
Okay, 1900 Broadway.
Is that
JAS:
This is 1900, yup.
JAG:
So let's do it.
- JAG: Go to the fourth floor.
- Fourth floor, here we come.
Okay. Let's go.
Wait. Sesame Street?
Wait. "Ring for delivery"?
- Hiya!
- Whoa! What?
- Oh, my God.
- Hey, Jas and Jag.

- It's the Cookie Monster.
- You got you got
- cookie for Cookie?
- JAG: Is it a cookie?
- Me hope so.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Wait.
- Can me have cookie?
I was you
for Halloween one year.
COOKIE MONSTER:
You was me?
JAG:
We were pretty starstruck.
- Now you can have a cookie.
- Whoa. Can me get cookie?
JAS: The Cookie
Monster is a A-list celebrity.
He knew our names.
Catch your breath
while me indulge.
- Ah, num. Num. Num. Num.
- [laughing]
Nummy, num, num.
JAG: He annihilated that cookie
right in front of us,
and it was just
such a cool, like,
childhood moment
to experience that.
Like, I felt like a kid again.
How do you like New York?
- Oh, we love it.
- It's pretty incredible.
We just rappelled down
the Empire State Building.
- Unbelievable. - Yeah.
- And we're here in one piece.
- COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, you made it.
- Hey.

some other grouch's day, huh?

Let's ask our taxi driver.
Is he still there?
Yeah, he said he was gonna wait
for five to ten minutes
to see, if it's quick.
Hey, there's no one waiting.
- We have to go fast.
- I don't see a taxi, Joseph.
- Uh, no taxi.
- Um, is he not waiting over there? Right here?
- Said he was gonna wait.
- No.
It looks like
he didn't wait for us.
Someone in here? Taxi?
Excuse me, sir.
Oh, okay. Is this right here?
- Taxi? No?
- No.
We never have luck with taxis.
Okay.
If you'd like
to go to amazing places
and meet amazing new friends
-like Cookie Monster,
-Aw.
then go to cbs.com/casting
and apply now.
Yeah, the world
is waiting for you.
- He said he was gonna wait.
- There's no taxi.
JOSEPH:
Aw, this is why it was important
for us to keep that taxi.
- Right there, in front of us.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just get in.
It's about to turn green.
- We got to go. Come on.

Okay.
Route info.
KEOGHAN: Many of
the groundbreaking designs seen
at the world's most exclusive
fashion show,
the Met Gala,
originated here
in New York's Garment District,
a legendary hub of fashion,
creativity and manufacturing.
The fabric stores
and fashion schools here
attract the best designers
in the world.
Here at Spandex House,
teams must
pick up an order form with five
different fabric swatches then,
paying careful attention
to detail,
search this enormous
fabric store to find them.
Once they've picked up a total
of 16 bolts of fabric
and loaded them onto carts,
they must make their way
through the busy streets
11 blocks and deliver them
to the students
in front of the Feldman Center
at the Fashion Institute
of Technology for a clue.
- Let's do it.
- Cool. Let's do it.
All right. You want manager?
Manager. Uh
JAG: Can we see the
different swatch cards,
- please?
- Yes.
- Yes, here.
- Um
Thank you.
And we have to choose one.
So let's-let's
be careful about this.
I like this color pur
Let's do this one.
- Let's do this one.
- JAG: Okay, sure. Sure, okay.
We're choosing this, uh,
swatch card.
And we just think
the colors are very bright
and should be easy to find.
This fabric store is massive.
So it's a first and second floor
for the type
and quantity of the bolts.
You look for this one.
Sequin, one bolt.
I'm doing sequin, three bolts.
- What that mean is?
- Where are the sequins? Sequins
Bolt is the quantity,
Jasu, just look for
sequin.
Let's see, I'm gonna go
Oh, right here, bro. [laughs]
Right in front of us.
- Okay, perfect. Perfect. Uh
- We're, like, searching up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
- Find this one. Grab it.
- Oh, and then next one.
- [grunts]
- Next one. Wait.
- No, no, let's go.
Whoa, I need
three bolts of this.
JAS:
Good job. Good catch on that.
- One.
- This. Can you hold this?
Ah, three bolts. Okay.
Just outside this door.
[grunts]
- Whew. Whew!
- [grunts]
These are very heavy.
Good?
KYLAND:
So, unfortunately, we didn't see
Jag and Jas at Sesame Street,
but that was a very quick stop.
I feel like having Luka here,
and the efficiency
at which we're moving,
I think it's only a matter of
time before we close this gap.
TAYLOR: We're on our
way to Spandex House.
I was a personal stylist
for a handful of years.
I wear a lot of spandex, and
I basically live in athleisure,
so hopefully I'll have
a little bit of knowledge,
hand up on knowledge
on some fabrics,
but we just got to see what
the task is when we get there
and get it done
faster than anybody else.
JAS:
Jaga, right here.
This is that one. This is this.
- Yeah, how many?
- We need four bolts hologram.
Okay. Let me Hold this.
[grunts]
- So we can get two carts?
- JAS: Yeah.
"You must use two carts."
JAG:
Okay.
JAS:
Okay, now do the purple matte.
We're looking
for the purple and the red one.
We're looking for a pur
- Jasu, you look for a red one.
- Yes, uh
We're looking
for the purple and the red one.
So we're just running through.
JAG:
Uh, I don't think it
I don't see it over here.
It's not here. It's not here.
JAS: There's a second
floor, too, remember that.
JAG: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It must be on the second floor.
Okay, purple.
I see purple.
Is this matte purple?
- Jasu, bring this.
- Yes.
Okay, you want to go
one at a time or two each?
Two. Two. Here.
KYLAND:
Yes, sir.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you. Thank you, thank you.
See you soon.
KYLAND:
Let's go.
We'll meet you right here, Luka.
Find something sheer.
How much quantity?
Four. That's wrong.
Keep going. Sheer.
They're right here.
Right here, right here.
- Four, four, four, wrapped.
- Yup.
- TAYLOR: Kyland, here.
- Let's go.
- TAYLOR: Clue box.
- Clue box.
- Route Info.
- Route Info.
Okay.
- JAS: Okay.
- KYLAND: Let's do it.
- Okay.
- "Choose one fabric
"swatch card from the manager.
Once chosen,
you may not switch."
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hey.
- How's it going?
- Good, good.
Check. Check, please.
Check?
KYLAND:
Which one? This one?
- Okay, thank you. Thank you very much.
- All right.
- Yep.
- Okay. Yeah.
- Perfect.
- JAG: Perfect. Thank you.
KYLAND:
Oh, how many?
- Four of this. - MAN: Four.
- TAYLOR: Four bolts.
- One, two, three, four.
- KYLAND: Got it.
JAS: Feldman Center
at the Fashion Institute.
KYLAND: Get-get the door?
TAYLOR: Got it.
It's just a right.
It's right here.
It's 28th. Past 28th.
28th and 7th. [speaks Punjabi]
Okay, okay.
KYLAND:
So, four of those.
- TAYLOR: This is two.
- Excuse me, excuse me.
- Excuse me, excuse me
- KYLAND: Leave that one, and I'll do this one.
JAG:
Jasu, come on.
JAS:
You want to switch?
JAG:
Yes, I can push more than you.
- Okay, switch.
- No, no, no.
Put more weight on mine.
Okay.
Come on. Run fast.
ADAM: Jas and Jag are
probably already there.
Taylor and Kyland
are making their way.
Hopefully, both of them
are hitting a red light.
- We're getting all greens right now.
- Yeah.
TAYLOR: Kyland, is
this one of our fabrics?
- KYLAND: Yep. Three.
- Okay.
KYLAND:
I'll take two, you take one?
We were moving very in sync.
We found each fabric
and loaded them on quick.
And we feel like
we're moving pretty good here.
Let's go upstairs.
Is this Kyland, what's this?
Oh, my gosh, you're amazing.
And we need one.
- Awesome. Go for it.
- Perfect. I got it.
Okay.
JAG:
Come on, Jasu.
Add weight on mine
if you're getting tired.
Each of those rolls
had to be 15 to 20 pounds.
We had 16 total rolls.
That weight adds up a lot,
and we had
to push it down ten blocks.
I knew that I could carry extra
weight and still maintain speed,
so that's why I took on
a lot more of the weight.
They're five
minutes behind us, if that.
This is the final leg
ofThe Amazing Race,
and we're gonna
have to work extremely hard
to-to get the million dollars.
Jasu, add weight on mine.
I'm catching up.
Go add another one.
JASU:
Excuse me. On your left.
- Excuse me.
- JAG: Excuse me, excuse me.
JOSEPH:
We're inching our way.
We are quite literally
on Taylor and Kyland's heels.
ADAM:
Thank you.
Is that one sheer?
- TAYLOR: Not sheer. Is it sheer?
- That's not sheer?
It looks sheer.
TAYLOR: This is No,
this is, uh, uh, shimmer.
- See?
- Oh, thank you.
[panting]: Okay.
Orange, sheer and turquoise.
Is this turquoise?
Yeah. Move your shadow.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Okay, we need four.
- JOSEPH: Spandex House?

Strong woman today. ♪

- Oh!
Excuse us.
- ADAM: Can we take this?
- MAN: Yeah, you can take this one.
Thank you.
- JAS: Excuse me.
- JAG: Okay.
JAS:
Excuse me.
So this wasn't just the streets
of Omak where there's no one
- walking on the sidewalk.
- JAG: Two stoplights.
JAS:
This was New York City streets.
We're talking
everyone is out and about.
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
- We're in a race.
- JAS: Sorry, we're in a race.
JAG: We're in a
race, we're in a race.
Luckily, people were just, like,
getting out of the way
just in time.
Come on, Jasu.
Kyland and Taylor
are right behind us.
So we're gonna go
as fast as we can.
KYLAND:
Orange sheer is all that's left.
Orange sheer.
Right here?
Sheer. Is it netted?
No.
KYLAND:
Okay. Thank God you're here.
Come on, let's go upstairs
'cause there's still a lot.
It's these. How many?
- Four.
- Four?
One, two, three, four.
- This is it.
- Four bolts.
- Four?
- You can take two, I take two.
- Yeah.
- TAYLOR: Be careful, babe.
Let's go.
Good?
- Good.
- KYLAND: Thank you.
Okay. Let's ask Luka directions.
TAYLOR:
Yeah.
- Eighth Avenue right here? Okay.
- Yeah.
KYLAND:
So, we're gonna meet you here.
- Look for us. Thank you so much.
- Yeah.
- TAYLOR: Thank you.
- KYLAND: We're on our way.
- All right.
- TAYLOR: See you there.
JOSEPH: So, what colors are
we missing? We got the yellow.
We need the blue sparkly.
Need the colorful sparkly.
JOSEPH:
This one. Here.
That's it.
Yeah, baby.
- That's the one.
- Uh-huh.
KYLAND:
Move, move, move, move!
- TAYLOR: Going.
- KYLAND: Say excuse me.
- Just get in front of people.
- TAYLOR: Going. Going.
JOSEPH: We're right on
Taylor and Kyland,
Jag and Jas, as expected.
We're zooming through
everything.
Let's go.
JAG:
It's on 28th, Jasu. Let's go.
Excuse me, excuse me.
We're in a race.
I was drenched
in sweat.
Sweat was just, like,
dripping down.
- Help me. Help me. Help me push this.
- Okay.
JAG: It got very
tiring very, very fast.
Help me fix this.
Let's go, one, two
Kyland, Kyland, Kyland!
KYLAND: All right, all right,
all right. I'm coming, I'm coming.
TAYLOR:
The bolts are heavy
- and the carts are heavy, too.
- KYLAND: Yeah.
It's the cart, not the fabrics.
I know, well, we need to get
It's easier to move
if it's lighter, right?
TAYLOR:
Superhero over here
just kept off-loading my weight,
'cause I was struggling.
This is not easy.
I don't move the fabrics.
I just play with the fabrics.
This one,
having him as my partner,
it was what I needed
to get through it,
'cause I didn't know if I would
have been able to otherwise.
[both groan]
TAYLOR:
You're doing great.
So we need this blue,
this reddish,
and we need this silver.
Hey.
- Aha! Aha.
- Two fours. Two fours, yeah.
JOSEPH: As we pass the fabric,
we almost instantly
identified it
right then and there.
Here's sparkly stuff.
There's a lot of sparkly here.
Joseph, Joseph, Joseph.
Yes!
Good catch, Adam.
- How many? How many?
- Three.
Oh, wait, Adam, here.
- ADAM: It's just one?
- Yeah!
- Oh, my God.
- We got it!
- Let's go. That's huge.
- We got it!
We're coming.
No one's getting away from us!
ADAM:
Are these correct, sir?
Yeah, look-looks looks good.
- Yes!
- Correct.
Thank you!
JAG:
Let's go.
Jasu, pick that thing up.
We're trying to find
the person that we're supposed
to deliver these fabrics to.
And as we're going,
one of the fabrics
on his cart
JAS: The cloth was
coming out of the plastic part,
and then it got
caught on the left front wheel.
Jaga, it's caught.
Come help me.
JAG:
And it got knotted up.
Like, it was
multiple rolls over.
Jasu, this is pretty bad.
[panting]
Okay. Go backwards.
JAS: I can't. It's
caught on the wheel.
Unravel it.
We're hunting Jag and Jas
down right now.
I can smell 'em.
I can smell 'em.
We're right on 'em!
JAS:
Oh, my God.
JAG: Kyland and Taylor
are right behind us,
and they're
a fast and strong team.
Oh, man.
JAS:
It goes around here.
- Think that's tightening up?
- No, it's not.
That's loosening it.
We've been running this race
saying, "Smart is fast."
And so instead of panicking
in that moment
Yes. Okay.
let's just turn the wheel
the other way instead of trying
to rip it out.
Okay.
[grunts]
Come on.
ADAM: Let's go.
JOSEPH:
I can't see anyone, Adam, so
ADAM: You're clear.
JOSEPH: Whenever we
do a physical challenge,
I take more of the brunt force,
in order to maintain
Adam's blood sugar.
So we had to distribute
the force more onto me,
rather than to Adam.
ADAM:
Joseph, we have to kind of
run with it.
- Right. More to your right. Yeah.
- Watch out.
So Adam was doing the navigating
and I was doing more
of the pulling and correction.
- ADAM: More to your right.
- JOSEPH: I am, Adam.
- The wheel's broken.
- I know. I'm just telling you.
[grunts]
JOSEPH: Anyone who knows New York
City knows New Yorkers don't care
what's going on
- around them.
- ADAM: They were not moving.
JOSEPH:
And they are not moving, so
ADAM: I think I even
heard someone say,
"That shouldn't
be on the sidewalk."
JOSEPH:
Everyone's in their own world,
-and no one cares what
you're doing. ADAM: Yeah.
JOSEPH: So you need to navigate
the people, the pavement
- And the cars.
- and the cars.
Excuse me, watch out.
There's a baby here.
- Excuse me.
- Sorry, guys.
Let's close this gap.
- We're on their ass.
- Yeah.
KYLAND:
They did not move that fast.
TAYLOR: Two more
New York City blocks to go!
KYLAND:
This is 29. We're going to 27.
JAG:
There it is. I see it.
- Come on. Come on, come on
- JAS: Oh, thank God.
Excuse me.
Do you guys have a clue for us?
JAS:
Hi.
Here.
All right.
- Here's your next clue.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you so much.
- Good luck, guys.

Okay, back to the taxi driver.
Terminal 1 Warehouse
at Seret Studios.
KYLAND:
Here we go.
Straight line, baby.
Home stretch.
TAYLOR:
Okay.
Hi.
Hello.
- Yay.
- Here's your next clue.
- Thank you so much.
- Good luck.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, sir.
- I can't wait to wear one of your designs one day.
- Thank you all.
- Let's go. Luka. Let's go, Luka!
- Let's go.
- Amazing, Luka.
- Let's go. Get in the car.
Aah!
That was good.
I think we did that really well,
minus the fabric
getting caught in my wheel.
- That's fine, that's fine. We're onto the next thing.
- You know?
I'm not even
thinking about that anymore.
This is for a million dollars.
JAG:
And this is a race of minutes.
They're right on our tail.
JOSEPH:
We're still in it, baby.
[strains]
ADAM:
Go, Joseph, it's down more.
Watch out.
Hello, my beautiful people.
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you too.
- Thank you so much.
Brooklyn, here we come.
- TAYLOR: We're going to Brooklyn.
- KYLAND: Yes. Our man Luka
was waiting right there for us.
He's the best.
Getting through
that fabric store
had to save us some time
on Jag and Jas.
First time
on Amazing Racehistory
that it's a three-person team.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- [laughs]
Our dad, actually,
was a taxi driver in Seattle.
We want to win
this million dollars.
We want to retire our parents.
So we're gonna work
very, very hard.
JOSEPH:
That was very hard. And I think
correcting that
with all the carpets on it
was very brutal
to go down ten streets.
Oh, look, you can see.
I'm bleeding a little bit.
ADAM: Hopefully that
slowed down the other teams
who had a lead on us,
but we know
we're still in third place.
This is really
a very, very tight race.
Kyland and Taylor
are right on our heels.
They might just be about,
you know, a minute or two
behind us.
We are hot on the heels
of Jag and Jas,
and that feels good.
Not as good as it'll feel
when we pass 'em.
Joseph and Adam showed up at
Spandex House right behind us.
- JOSEPH: We've been on Taylor and Kyland's heels.
- ADAM: Yeah.
JOSEPH: We really believe in
ourselves and believe we can do it,
and we will.
We've been moving
so efficiently, so effectively.
JAG: We're gonna do
everything we can to stay ahead.
JOSEPH: Mark my
words, we're gonna win this.
You just wait.

a little more than
a hundred years ago
has become a daily ritual
for tens of millions
of newspaper readers
around the world.
Winning a million dollars
has come down
to solving this Amazing Race
crossword puzzle.
"to receive your final clue."
- Final clue? Oh, my God.
- Okay. We're gonna see.
- Yeah.
- Oh, right there.
Let's go.
♪
- Okay.
- Oh.
JAG:
Okay. Okay, what does it say?
JAS:
Holy cow.
JAG: "To begin,
answer the questions
for down and across." Okay.
JAS: I am horrible
at crossword puzzles.
Even the easy ones,
I'm so bad at them.
JAG:
Down and across. Okay.
BOTH: "Ivan Gundulic's city."
- JAG: Prague.
- Prague.
JAG: Two across
is "P."
Wait, P-R-A-G-E. No.
- Is it Dubrovnik?
- Oh, Dubrovnik.
Let's do "D."
Find the next letter, right?
JAG: U-B.
All the letters
were at the bottom.
You had to fit them
where the words go.
And if we're
spelling out a word,
I would choose the first letter,
he would find the next letter.
And so we were
going really fast on one word.
I felt like we had a good memory
and a good idea
of everything
that we had done so far.
BOTH:
"First strike."
JAG:
Versus "last strike."
Let's do that later.
JAS: "Self-supporting
bridge designer."
Uh, Leonardo da Vinci.
So ten across.
- Done.
- Wait, wait, wait.
- Oh!
- Oh, oh, oh, oh.
So close. So close.
- Give me a "C."
- Okay.
- "N."
- "N."
Okay, good.
Hungary money. Hungary.
Budapest money, is it
- "Fortnit"?
- Twelve across.
JAS: "Fortnit"?
- No, no, no. Uh
- K-C?
Koruna?
- K-O-R-U-N-A.
- Okay.
Okay, we got this.
KYLAND: Being the final leg,
it's, like,
a conflicting feeling,
'cause we want
to get to the finish line
as fast as possible, but
since we're in second right now,
we want there to be
enough of the race left
that we still
have time to catch up.
JOSEPH:
We've been in third place
all day today.
We're not letting that
get into our heads.
We've been in the back before.
We've never jumped the front,
but there's
a first time for everything.
JAG: Okay, "Croatia Double
U-turn location." Buza Bar.
Uh, I don't see it.
Find a "Z." Just find a "Z."
I'm trying to.
I found a "Z." Hold on.
JAG: Okay. Good work.
"Palio town."
Vigevano. Palio.
[cheering, applause]
- Yay!
- JAS: You got all four on the first one!
Yeah!
You-you did that.
I don't know
how to spell that. [laughs]
I would choose the word
that I knew
was easy to spell.
"Yellow clue" is Detour.
I'll do nine.
Because I'm not
that great at spelling.
If I knew I had
to spell out "strike,"
I'd be like,
"All right, I got this one.
You work on the next one."
"Romanian sausage." Mici.
Okay, make a ball.
Oh, this one's done.
We just have to make sure
it's the exact, you know,
width and size and everything.
Mmm. This is really good.
"Tactile alphabet." Braille.
Um
How do you spell "braille," bro?
Capital one, four,
two, five.
JAG:
Now let me think.
"First strike" or "last strike."
What is that?
- "First strike"?
- I don't know.
- Okay, let's do
- Wait, wait, let's see.
Hungary money in Budapest.
Shoot.
TAYLOR:
Seret Studios.
KYLAND:
I see it.
Luka, you're the man.
- Please don't leave. Thank you.
- TAYLOR: Yeah.
It's 67.
KYLAND:
"Fresh as a daisy."
Can you do that?
JAS:
Okay, I'll do it. I'll do it.
Pink-yellow. I do need
pink-yellow,
but I'm gonna make sure
this is the correct pink-yellow.

TAYLOR: Okay, two across.
KYLAND: "Ivan Gundulic's city."

Do you know what it is?
Should be Museumplein.
"First Pit Stop."
KYLAND:

- Don't yell, 'cause, also, we can hear 'em.
- Okay, thank you.
"First strike" is a

"Czech cash." We have the euro.

- The "fortnit."
- Uh-huh.
We have the
Is that what they call it? Uh
We weren't sure on what "first
strike" and "last strike" meant.
And we also weren't sure on
Hungary money
versus Czech money.
Kyland and Taylor
were a very strong team, too,
and they were on our heels,
so, you know,
the pressure was definitely on.
Um
I have no idea.
JAS:
Oh, my God.
TAYLOR: You got this.
JAG: "Czech cash."
This is koruna.
JAS: Is "Czech cash" koruna?
JAG: Yeah.
Maybe it is F-O
"Forins." I-N-S.
- For
- Try I-N-S.
Forint.
Forint is what it's called.
- Oh. "Fornit."
- It's not "fornit."
- It's forint. [laughs]
- Forint. Forint
- JAS: Okay.
- What do we do? Eight across.
"Last strike."
Oh, man. What is "last strike"?
- KYLAND: Next thing.
- Prague.
18 across.
I need you
to keep solving, baby.
You're doing great.
TAYLOR: I'm a word girl.
I love crosswords
and I've taken very detailed
notes throughout this race.
We've just been preparing
so much for the final quiz.
So seeing that
it was a crossword,
it felt like it was a challenge
that was made for us.
Give me another one.
TAYLOR:
We're doing seven down next.
- KYLAND: Okay, what is that?
- "Kutna Hora nickname."
- Silver City.
- Silver City. Okay, cool.
You're doing great.
Hungary money.
What was the name
of the Hungary money?
- KYLAND: Forint. F-O-R-I-N-T.
- O-R-I-N-T. Was that
Good work, baby.
Uh, that up there.
The last clue box.
"Solve a crossword puzzle

- Okay.
- Let's go.
- JOSEPH: Here, here, here.
- ADAM: Let's go.
Wow, this is cool.
Okay.
JAS: What is "last strike"?
Hazard?
JAS:
Hazard. Hazard, Express Pass.
JAG: "First strike"
and "last strike"
those were the last two things
that we had left.
The only thing
that we could think of
when it came to "strike" was
that first
Express Pass challenge
- that we had to do.
- JAS: Yep.
We don't want to get the hazard
- right off the bat.
- JAG: Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah!
JAG:
Bro, let's go.
- Oh, my God.
- JAS: "S."
Wait, there's something,
there's something
JAG:
Uh, we'll figure out
where the Z's are.
Let's do a check.
Press the red button.
- JAG: Boom. Oh.
- Z's. Switch the Z's.
One of the Z's,
the one that we put in "hazard"
had an accent mark over it.
It actually belongs in Buza Bar.
We're so close.
Put it up there.
- JAS: What's next?
- Okay, okay, okay.
Now we have to do something.
JAS: Different letters
were highlighted in yellow,
and we had
to drag those letters down
and unscramble them.
JAG:
"I" and a "U."
[sighs]
KYLAND:
We're looking for a clue.
- Please.
- TAYLOR: Nice.
KYLAND:
Oh, beautiful.
ADAM: "Romanian search."
Egg.
I'm taking a shot
in the dark here. [laughs]
"D."
JAS:
What is this?
Where are we going?
JAG: I see the "Y,"
and it just clicks for me.
- Yankee Stadium.

We are headed
to the final Pit Stop.
Anything can happen.
JAG:
Whoo!
I don't want
to psych ourselves out
and get there,
and suddenly Kyland and Taylor
or Joseph and Adam
someone's there already,
- but we flew through that crossword.
- JAS: We flew through that.
I feel very optimistic.
We did that so fast.
Yeah, we
And we weren't far behind them.
Anything is possible.
It's possible that
Jag and Jas
got caught in traffic,
somehow Jag and Jas got lost.
We just don't know where anybody
is except for us right now.
KYLAND: All right,
Luka, you're doing great.
- You're killing it. Oh, yeah, yeah
- TAYLOR: You're amazing, Luka.
We can win a million dollars.
We can do it.
KYLAND:
Make sure no one passes us.
Put the final touch, baby.
See one hand.
Oh, hold on.

JAS: You're about to
potentially make history here.
- First Big Brother and Amazing Racewinner.
- And Amazing Racewinner.
We just handed him
everything we have.
All in all, we gave him
almost $700 right now.
- JAS: Wow.
- JAG: Now all that's left
between us and a million dollars
is us getting there.

Something happened,

- Come on.

JAG:
The end is in sight.
Nothing that we can do now,

- Yeah.
Hoping to find Phil

that no other team's there.

and $1 million.
[both cheering]
This is your seventh
first place finish.
- What was the secret to your success?
- Oh, my God.
We came in with just
such a positive mindset.
Traveling around the world
with my brother
and best friend by my side
has just been
such a beautiful experience.
And through
every single challenge,
we trusted each other.
I'm so grateful for it all.
This is the most
incredible finish
that we could ask for.
I couldn't have chosen
anyone else to be sitting here
by my side right now.
JAG:
We're in our late 20s.
We're not always
gonna be attached at the hip,
hanging out all the time.
Uh, and so this was, for us,
our last hurrah.
This is
a pretty surreal feeling,
being the first
Big Brother winner
to also win The Amazing Race.
And to do it, like,
with my brother by my side, too,
is very special.

Kyland and Taylor,
what a battle.
- [chuckles]
- Whoo!
You finished second
on this Amazing Race,
which is
an extraordinary achievement.
Are you proud
of-of racing with him?
Oh, my God.
We were dating on and off
for a long time,
and our communication
was terrible.
And every leg of the way we just
got stronger and stronger,
and I feel like
we regained our friendship,
which we lost
when we used to date.
I'm just so happy
we did this together.
- I love this woman, I know she loves me.
- Yeah.
And we want to see
what we can build this into.
And this gave us a lot of hope.
Second place
feels heartbreaking.
TAYLOR:
You know, I told Kyland
he would get his first official
championship, and that I would
make sure that we were standing
together to make that happen.
And I couldn't do that for you.
KYLAND: Jag's the firstBig
Brother winner to get first.
She's the first Big Brother
winner to get second. And
that's the silver lining
to go with our silver place.

Joseph and Adam,
am I pleased to tell you
you should be
so proud of yourselves
you have finished
this race in third place.
- JOSEPH: Thank you.
- ADAM: Thank you so much.
- I always loved the way you looked after each other.
- JOSEPH: Thank you.
There were times
where I had self-doubt,
and I thought I was
holding my brother back,
and I didn't think
I'd be standing here today.
I truly, truly feel motivated.
I feel different
to pursue more things in life
and be confident in who I am.
I know Adam has
so much untapped potential,
and the fact that
we're standing here on a podium
just showed me
that it was a matter
of believing in ourselves.
I've always,
growing up, wanted Adam
to be confident
in his abilities,
and for him
to stand tall and proud,
and I witnessed it
firsthand, and
money can't buy that.
ADAM:
And it doesn't hurt
to have a support system
like I had.
- Joseph is the epitome of a good person.
- I love you, buddy.
And I love him forever.

What's up, man?
TAYLOR: "Life-changing"
doesn't even begin to encapsulate
the experience that you have
onThe Amazing Race.
I'm just so proud
of everything that we put out
as a team together.
And I'm so glad that
we got to do this together.
SIMONE:
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
I missed you guys.

enjoyable
