The Amazing Race Australia (2011) s04e11 Episode Script
Season 4, Episode 11
Previously on The
Amazing Race Australia
Are you right, Tim?
Oh, Jeez, that's bad.
..it was time to sink or swim in Malawi.
Tim!
Tim!
Tom and Tyler rose to the top
and continued their record run.
You are the first team to check in.
Well done.
..before Nick and Femi
went down with the ship.
..and you're eliminated.
We can only be grateful
for what we've had so far.
Whoo!
Tonight
Fly to Bangkok, Thailand.
Oh, my God!
Yes!
Over two epic nights
Oooh
..the final four will fight it out
We've literally got a one in
four chance of winning 250K.
Alright. Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go.
The prize is in sight.
The gloves are gonna come off.
Get it down.
We're gonna have to tone down
pleasure and dial up business.
Arrgh!
We want that number one spot so bad.
And failure is not an option
..before a strategic U-turn
leaves one team hanging by a thread.
The suspense is killing me, huh?
Yeah.
Who will survive to make
it to the last pit stop
here on home soil in
the Northern Territory
for the final leg of the
Amazing Race Australia?
We're in the heart of Africa, Malawi,
and it's from here
that we're about to depart
for the penultimate leg
of the greatest race on earth.
Only four teams now remain.
And they'll depart in the order
they arrived at the last pit stop.
Fly to Bangkok, Thailand.
Oh, my God.
Yes!
We've been to Thailand before.
We absolutely love it.
We love the tuk tuks, we love
the energy, we love the people.
We're stoked.
With its picture-postcard beaches,
chaotic cities
and more than 35,000 temples,
Thailand is a country of quirks
and contrasts.
It's also illegal to leave your house
without wearing your underwear.
So let's hope none of the teams
are running low.
"Once there,
make your way to Khlong Toei market
"and eat a Thai treat
to receive your next clue."
"Thanks to the award-winning
Bankwest Halo payment ring,
"you have USD$70
to spend in this leg of the race."
- Caution. U-turn ahead.
- Ohh
Gun it, mate. Come on, go. Go. Go.
Bangkok, Thailand. You been?
No. Never been. Have you?
I've never been either.
Obviously, winning eight legs
is a great achievement
for the both of us.
But our initial goal
for the start of the race
was to make the top three.
So we haven't made it yet.
So we've just got to make sure
we keep going.
To be fair, when you get to the top
four, everyone's really good.
You can't really discount anyone
because they've all had their wins
and been up the top the whole time.
Yep.
We've literally got a
one in four chance of winning 250K.
This is like the best odds that
we'll ever have in our lifetime.
U-turn ahead.
A U-turn can definitely change the race.
It forces the teams
to do both detour challenges.
And being this late in the game
these detours are just getting
harder and harder.
There's a U-turn coming up, babe.
That's unreal.
That is huge.
Strategy is going to be so critical
moving forward.
The prize is in sight.
And everyone's You know,
the gloves are gonna come off.
Literally had all the odds
against us.
We were U-turned in the previous leg.
Just the fact that
all the other teams remaining
have voted against us,
just gives you so much motivation
just to beat them.
Yes.
Alright. Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
We were able to have a quick
sneaky chat with Joe And Viv.
Pretty much say we know
what we've been doing,
in our whole alliance
TOM: Same plan.
Get ourselves to the final three.
Yeah.
Jerome and Jasmin
took us aside at the airport.
They basically reaffirmed with us
that we had a strong alliance
and that with a U-turn
coming up
that they would do what they could
to vote for Tim and Rod.
And as we learned that last leg,
when they're desperate, they're good.
Yeah. Yeah.
Alright.
We know the plan, gang.
We'll catch youse there.
See you there.
Oh, we've got the plan in place.
Alliance strong.
Love the boys, would have a beer
with them after this.
But it's a game.
All teams will now board
the same flight
to Thailand's lively capital, Bangkok.
On the way, they'll each pick a team
to U-turn in secret
and we'll reveal
who got the most votes later.
Excuse me.
Sorry, I just squeeze past.
Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Let's go. Let's go. Regular taxi.
Khlong Toei markets.
Khlong Toei.
Yeah.
We need to get there fast.
Very fast.
Are you driving? Alright, let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
Oh, jeez. Sorry.
This leg was probably one
of the most nerve wracking for us.
We were starting the day last.
Quick, quick, quick, quick.
We've gotta go.
Fast, fast, fast.
We were freaking out.
We were scared.
We've gotten the U-turn before.
What if it happens again?
But Joey and Viv and Jasmin
and Jerome, to pick us again,
that would be absolute buffoonery
at its best.
We're going to
Khlong Toei markets
and we're looking for stall
AA15 and AA16
where Tom and I have
to eat three treats,
which I have a wild guess that
they're not going to be treats.
They're gonna be something disgusting.
I have no idea
where they got that idea from.
Hidden away deep in Khlong Toei,
Bangkok's largest fresh food markets,
lies a stall that serves an authentic
Thai delicacy, century eggs.
Made from duck chicken or quail eggs,
these treats are preserved for weeks
until they turn black, gooey
and super salty.
Our teams will need to eat three
of them to receive their next clue.
Good luck.
Ty in Thailand. It's in your name.
I've never been to Bangkok
and I've been to Thailand.
So very excited to be coming here.
It was very built up.
High rises,
actually pretty nice architecture.
A heap going on.
And just a truckload of people.
Oh, my God.
There was people going everywhere.
I felt like a headless chook.
Is there any numbers you can see?
Nuh.
Running around,
had no idea where we were going.
Do you speak English?
It was a bit on.
A bit on.
That's the A13.
Oh, no. we've found it.
We got to the stall
to see our three treats,
which were actually painted eggs.
We have to eat these?
Yeah.
So obviously we thought
that they were just gonna be nice
hard boiled eggs,
maybe salted a little bit, you know.
Barbecue sauce.
Yeah, a little bit of cheese possibly.
Oh
Oh, God.
What is it? What is this?
Three rotten year-old eggs
that were black.
Got no idea what this is.
This is disgusting.
Oh
And I was this close a couple of times.
You've just got to throw it back.
Love it. It's so good.
Nice. Your own recipe?
You should try cooking them
the normal way.
It wasn't great.
Oh, thinking about it.
Thinking about it gets me.
- Get the door on your way.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Joey, it's worth getting
the rain jacket out now.
What? Yep.
Get the rain jacket out now.
When we got to the markets,
it was basically
a full-blown hurricane, typhoon.
The rain was coming down so heavy.
AA15?
This was not what I expected
my Thailand trip to be like.
Sunny tanning weather is what I think.
Not water-infested markets
Water infested.
Water infested.
Stall AA15 and 16?
I finished, I got three down.
For me personally, it wasn't
the smell that did it for me.
I think it was just the texture.
And when you bit into it,
it exploded in your mouth.
And it was this gooey,
yolky blacky stuff.
Get it down. Good boy.
Arrgh!
Good boy. That's it. We're done.
Thank you very much.
Detour.
Water or Wheels?
A detour is a choice
between two tasks,
each with their own unique challenges.
Teams that choose "Water" must
memorise 12 riverside landmarks
as they float along
the iconic river here.
And once they place them
successfully on a map
and they're judged correct,
they'll receive their next clue.
In "Wheels", teams test out
their mechanics skills
with one of Bangkok's most iconic
modes of transport, the tuk tuk.
From an empty shell,
they'll face the tricky task
of rebuilding their very own
three-wheeled wonder
before pimping it out
to receive their next clue.
And remember, at the detour,
one team will find out
that they've been U-turned,
forcing them to complete both tasks.
Yeah. We'll do Water.
We're gonna do the Water.
Arrgh!
Oh
Taxi!
AA. Like this. Like this.
AA15.
Up here?
It was a distinct sign
being like the market.
I just don't remember where it is.
Getting to the market was a disaster.
We'll just walk around the whole
joint until we hit an entrance.
Jasmin! Jasmin!
When we arrived
at the market and found the treats
I knew there's going to be a problem.
So, we've got to
knock back three of these each.
It's just like a boiled egg
in the morning.
Can we have some of this?
It was just the most foul thing
you ever have yeah,
ever put in my mouth ever.
Let it go down.
Let it go down.
They were salty, really slimy.
The yolk part was gooey.
But I just had to put it down.
Alright. We're almost through it.
Then just trying to encourage Jasmin.
Come on, babe. Come on. Come on.
Come on.
We're almost there.
Keep going.
Don't give me the whole thing.
Did you find it?
Yeah.
Babe, Tim and Rod are here now.
We lost a bit of time,
Jasmin struggling through that.
Tim and Rod had come out of nowhere
considering they were
the last to leave the airport.
Three?
Three.
Any?
OK.
There were all these
rainbow-coloured eggs
Which we loved.
Yeah.
So we went straight to the pink ones.
We've gotta eat three.
We thought, "Let's just down these
eggs as quickly as we can.
And then just try not to think of
the rank, disgusting brown egg
that was in front of us.
Arrgh.
Have that last bit, then we're done.
Just go. Just go.
Pump it down. Swallow.
Done? That's three for us.
Completing that challenge
was such a huge relief.
They are not treats
that I'll ever have ever again.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
OK.
Detour. Water or Wheels? Alright.
We're doing Wheels.
We're gonna go Wheels.
Alright. Let's go.
Mate, you had scrambled eggs
this morning for brekky.
It's just like that.
We weren't going down without a fight.
We were like,
"Nah." We downed them, we did it,
patted ourselves on the back.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
And we were out of there.
Detour.
Water or Wheels.
I'm feeling Wheels, do you reckon?
Yeah. I reckon we get it done faster.
Let's do that. Let's do that.
Let's go.
We're trying to find the store numbers
but there's no numbers on their stalls
and nobody understands English.
We've been lost for quite a while now.
The boys are looking
and they're going somewhere.
The boys are up there.
Who?
Tim and Rod.
We saw Tim and Rod hop into a taxi.
They had overtaken us.
I'm getting really stressed 'cause it
shouldn't be this hard to find.
What number is that?
There's no numbers on here.
Far out. Where is this joint?
It was just an absolute nightmare.
Excuse me. Hello.
Is this stall number AA?
All the way at the back?
Thank you. OK. Keep going, Viv.
Yeah. Joey. Joey, here.
Completely missed that.
Hello. How are you?
Hi.
We have some eggs.
Eat?
Eat?
Three?
Three each?
We finally get there, it is
the right place, thank goodness.
What's this? Century egg?
Oh, my God.
Yeah. Century egg.
We grew up with Mum eating this at
home. So, she'd make it herself.
But the thing is
Viv and I never indulged in it
because it was just something
we never wanted to eat.
How is it?
It's alright. It's like egg except saltier.
OK.
I mean, eggs aren't supposed
to be that colour.
Like, you know,
-if you peel the egg and it comes out
black, you know -It's black and gooey.
Yeah. I don't think you're supposed
to eat that.
But apparently it's a delicacy. Yeah.
Try not to think about it.
It's definitely got a unique texture
and taste to it,
but straight down the hatch.
The strategy for us knowing all the
other teams are well ahead of us
was to just down it, get it done,
don't think about the taste and move on.
Awesome. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much. See ya.
Hold that. Hold it.
OK. Detour.
Water or Wheels.
We're going to do water.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I can't believe
we completely overshot this area.
With all teams
now on their way to the detours,
one of them is about to be U-turned
and forced to complete both tasks.
Who will it be?
First to finish will find out.
Come on.
Let's go.
Thank you, sir.
We chose the water challenge,
which is to correctly identify
12 landmarks
while going down the river, remember
them and then place them on the map.
Oh, here we go.
One, two, three, four, five six.
How do you want to break it up?
It would be easier
to go six and six I reckon.
Yeah. I got the bridge on the water.
I'll take these six.
We divvied out six landmarks each.
And then when we got on the water
we both knew all the landmarks
we were looking for
and we could get it done
and get out of there.
What do you do right after eating
three rotten eggs? You go on a boat.
That's one, isn't it?
Seminary. That's my one.
That's one of mine.
I think Tyler and I have
such a high success rate at detours
because we have lived and travelled
with each other.
From this side it's
tower, white, palace.
Tower, white palace.
Red.
No. No. Wasn't it the red?
We've also played
in the same football team.
We're best mates and we know each
other inside and out.
So, I think that's, um
Inside and out. Hold on.
Rosemary, tower, white, memorial,
red, palace.
Yeah.
The right side is good.
We've got that side.
Do you know where you're going, sir?
Like
Where?
Don't have much faith in our driver
where we're going at the moment.
Do you want to ditch this cab
and get another one?
We've just got to
get this first detour done
so that if we are the ones
that get U-turned again,
we've just got to get back there
and get it done.
Definitely keen for this, mate.
Yeah.
"Everything you need
to complete the detour
"is next to your tuk tuk.
"You must all of the items."
We literally felt like two mechanics
walking into the shop.
All these tuk tuks
that were just ripped to shreds.
They didn't have any tyres on them.
All the lights were taken off them.
We have never felt straighter.
It was insane.
What do you reckon?
We do the back tyres first?
We've always loved Thailand.
We've loved the tuk tuks.
So we thought, "How cool is this?
"We're going to put a tuk tuk together,
"make it cute,
make it sparkly and exciting
"and hopefully slay this detour."
There's the sign, look, right ahead.
There. There. There. Stop.
Oh, yes.
OK.
We were about 10 or 15 minutes in
and Jasmin and Jerome run in.
Hey, boys.
Hey, guys. How are you doing?
We got so lost.
The traffic is crazy, isn't it?
Taxi.
You didn't see anyone else yet?
No. No-one else.
I'll put these tyres on first, alright?
OK. While you do that I'm going
to do the little finnicky bits.
Oi, Jasmin.
Yeah.
About the U-turn, absolutely no hard
feelings, we know it's a race,
but are we up for it again?
Honestly.
No. I know we definitely
voted for Tom and Tyler.
I was just like
They're the strongest team.
Sick.
Sick. Thank you so much, guys.
Tom and Tyler, they're just
unbeatable, those blokes
so we'd be stupid not to.
Mate, bro, how good's that?
We just need to hope and pray
that Joey and Viv
did the exact same thing.
We picked water because we backed
ourselves with our memory
with only 12 landmarks that we could
get it done and get out of there.
That's the castle.
Sorry. Just grabbed it.
Tom took the right-hand side,
so he took the four out,
I took the eight on the way back.
Red.
I think we've got it.
Congratulations.
Good boy. Well done.
Tom and I, we smashed this challenge.
Went running for the next clue.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my gosh.
What happens is we go from here to here.
We're on the U-turn board.
Mmm.
It's a bit surprising.
Alright. We've got to
go do the other one.
It was shattering. My heart sank.
And it just meant that this alliance
and all these friendships
and relationships
that we'd built up over the race
is has backfired on us.
It meant nothing.
There's Tom and Tyler.
So much for the alliance.
What are you guys doing to us?
Thanks for the U-turn.
Sorry, boys.
Love you guys. Love you.
Love you, guys.
Sorry, boys.
Spewing.
Yeah. I'm surprised by that.
Anyone has to do a U-turn,
it's gonna be really shitty.
me.
So much for the alliance.
What are you guys doing to us?!
Thanks for the U-turn.
- Love you guys, sorry, boys.
- Love you guys, love you!
Excuse me. Excuse me.
We're definitely very surprised.
We thought we would 100%
not be on the U-turn board
but we're on it.
Can we go?
Let's go.
Go, go.
Go, go, fast.
It stings, but at the same time
we understand and we get it.
It's a race and if we're a threat
to them and their future, then
Then they can lie to us and
throw our friendships in the toilet.
Spewing!
Yeah. I'm surprised by that.
It hurts.
Jasmin, Jerome hurts.
How many minutes? Five minutes?
To use the U-turn
against Tom and Tyler
was the hardest decision we've made
this whole race.
They're just unbeatable, those blokes.
I felt really bad,
but they've just been
so incredibly strong
over the course
of this Amazing Race journey,
they've won eight legs.
For us to have a chance,
we had to remove the biggest threat.
We had to keep in mind
why we came to The Amazing Race,
why we left our son at home for
a whole month, it's because of him.
We wanted to win this race for him.
We just had to smash out
the tuk tuk challenge
and get out of there.
On this side, you reckon?
Wherever it looks pretty.
Mate, this is the cutest thing
we've ever done!
Tinkerbell the tuk tuk.
We named it Tinkerbell Tuk Tuk, or TT.
But then TT reminded
us of Tom and Tyler.
So we're like, "Tinkerbell Tuk Tuk
is gonna eliminate Tom and Tyler."
Yes!
Let's do it.
Boys!
Oh.
I literally saw Tom and Tyler run in
while I was doing the flowers
on the side of the tuk tuk.
And I was just like
..glllll, like this is so awkward.
Like, we've obviously U-turned them,
we know Jasmin and Jerome
have done the same thing.
Double time, Jasmin.
Yeah, just gotta try and focus on
..getting out of here.
None of the teams were talking
to each other,
everyone was just focused on doing
the best tuk tuks as they could.
You wanna get out of there
as quick as you can.
-We've gotta fix that seat, I think
we're done. -Yeah.
The finished product was amazing,
it was so colourful, it was so fun.
We wanted to take it home
and drive it round.
Tim and Rod are having
their tuk tuk checked over
to see it it's passed.
Thank you, so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Surprisingly enough, these two gay boys
got a perfect score on the tuk tuk,
got our clue and we were out of there.
Oh, it's a road block. Road block.
Road block. Road block.
"Who's ready for a mouthful?"
Mobile dental technicians are
admirably filling a need for locals
on the streets of Bangkok.
To get their next clue,
teams will travel
to a community centre to help out
and fit three patients
with a set of dentures.
It's a task guaranteed to put
a smile on your face.
What?
OK, let's go.
Tim, you're gonna do this one.
OK.
They've got their
Cleared out of here.
Yep.
Come on, keep going.
That's mine there, I think.
It was actually quite nice
going on a cruise.
I'd say that we'd probably enjoy it
a lot more
if we weren't in the race.
Yeah, there's another one of mine.
Oh, is that yours?
Yeah.
One at the back?
It was pretty bumpy, though,
the fermented eggs
weren't sitting too well in me.
So, I get really seasick
so I did not enjoy it.
I think I've got all of mine.
Thank you. Thank you.
We split up the iconic locations
to six each
so it was pretty easy to remember six.
That was definitely right.
Yep.
I think that's right actually.
Mine are in order.
Yeah.
And it was just a matter
of picking it in the right order.
Do you wanna call it?
Yep.
Congratulations.
Oh, my God, yes!
Well done! Oh.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
We smashed it in the first go.
Great effort.
"Find a set of dentures that
properly fits each of your patients
"to receive your next clue."
That sounds disgusting.
Alright, let's go.
Let's go.
You could hear a pin drop
in the room,
it was definitely a little bit
awkward between the two teams.
There was no need for us to show
niceties or help them out anymore
because they'd showed that cards.
We just wanted to get this done
and it made us want to win even more.
Keep going, Ty.
Yeah.
Tom and Tyler are normally
pretty chatty with us.
They're keen to have a yarn,
to laugh, a bit of banter.
There was none of that.
It was just cold ice.
So, yeah, it's tense.
I think everyone's focused
on their own race now.
Um, yep, can we have ours
looked over, please?
They're getting a check.
Yep.
Thank you.
I'll do this road block.
"Who's ready for a mouthful?"
Um, we need to go the community centre.
Can you get us there very quick?
We're in a race.
This first place has never
been closer for us.
We want that number one spot so bad.
We were so pumped.
Tom and Tyler are such a threat
in this race
so we were just super happy that
they've finally gotten something
that would hopefully knock 'em off
that first place.
I wonder if they'd already
done the other detour.
That's what I'm saying,
can't get complacent
Anything can happen
in The Amazing Race. Like
Thank you. Thank you.
He said it's up here, hey?
Is there a playground or something?
There's a flag, there's a flag!
There's a flag!
Oh, yeah.
Here, here.
Oh Oh!
Through here.
Hey, how you going?
We got to the road block and it was
the weirdest thing we've ever seen.
It was all these old people
sitting under a bridge
with these crazy dentures in these bowls
waiting to be fitted into their mouths.
What the hell? This is crazy!
OK.
Right, Tim, just take a breath,
we're the only ones here.
Yep.
I would assume that we're either
in first or second place.
Yeah.
No pressure. No pressure.
It was honestly like playing Tetris.
So he's got one big one missing
at the front.
I needed to just slot the right shape
into the gum
by figuring out what was going to fit.
It's definitely not that one.
Whoa, they're shark teeth.
I honestly think he's been in the
wrong career this whole time.
I think he needs to be like
a little dental assistant.
One big one missing.
Yes! I think that's it.
Yes!
That's it!
Whoo!
Good job! Next one! Next one!
Next one! Yes!
So proud of you!
Going into this Wheels challenge
after being U-turned,
we're just going a
million miles an hour.
Yeah.
Jovial Tom and Tyler were gone.
Can we just have a check?
After seeing Jasmin and Jerome
leave, we were obviously shattered.
I just
Thank you so much.
We left not too long after them
but we knew that we're definitely
coming last by a bit
and so it's hard to get the spirits
up. We know it's a long day.
Road block.
"Who's ready for a mouthful?"
I'll do it.
Alright, let's go.
I don't think we feel like we've lost
our lead, to be honest.
We just wanna make sure
that we can smash out this challenge.
Yeah, we've got a taxi!
Thank you.
Hello.
Hello. Yeah, we're going to
So quiet.
Yeah, just a bit flat.
Just a bit flat
but there's still another challenge.
Yes.
So
Just hoping to get to this challenge
quickly and then pump it out.
Oh, this one?
Never in my wildest dreams
would have thought I'd be in Thailand,
watching Tim fit dentures
to these local Thai people.
OK, smile.
You have a beautiful smile!
Some of 'em had the cutest smiles
on their faces.
You got it, Tim, you got it.
So many different dentures in that bowl,
it was so difficult
to get the right fit.
Oh, I think you got it.
I think you got it.
Yeah!
Once we got those dentures in,
these people looked like
they had real teeth.
Thank you.
To be able to get that denture right,
I was so happy.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Yes!
Only needed to get three
and then we were out of there.
Let's go, let's go.
Thank you! See youse!
Bangkok is famous for shops
housing thousands of gold statues
of the gods,
both Buddhist and Hindu.
Giving them their glow is
a complicated and fiddly technique
using gold leaf.
This active route marker requires
both team members to shine
by covering Ganesh, the God
of Success, in a layer of gold.
Once they do that, all they gotta do
is take him to me at the pit stop.
Sounds easy, huh?
Watch this unfold.
Yes! Yes!
Jeez, they had a fair few teeth
missing, hey?
My God.
Taxi!
Please, please, please, please, please.
Come on, come on.
Argh!
Oh, shit!
We're thinking, "Oh, no!
They're gonna jump in here
"and do this super quick."
That was definitely them, hey?
Yeah.
Where is it?
Here?
Down here? Thank you.
At this point, we don't know
where Jasmin and Jerome are.
We don't know how far into
the second detour Tom and Tyler are.
There, there, there. Across here.
Cross here? Yep.
Pick a table.
Yep.
Hello.
We're just really trying to hustle
and just try and stay as ahead
as possible.
Bottom teeth
OK, smile for me.
OK. Few teeth missing there.
That could be it. Maybe that one.
It was super weird.
It was like a human jigsaw puzzle.
Yes. Perfect! Thank you.
You got this, Joe.
Oh, is it that one?
Oh, yeah! Thank you.
Maybe that one.
I was so concentrated,
just in the moment.
Is that OK? Yeah! Thank you.
Well done, Joe.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
We were in and out of
that road block super quick.
I'd say within ten minutes.
Back the way we came.
Taxidriver was gonna wait for us.
Yep. Where is he? There he is.
Good man.
Hi.
Thanks, my friend.
OK, let me give you the address.
How far away is it?
We need to be there.
As fast as you can go, please.
We just gotta go hell for leather.
Very quick.
Can we please go fast.
This is life changing for us.
I know.
Thank you.
There's four tables.
Yeah. Does that mean anything?
Maybe another team's not here yet.
When we arrived at the road block,
Tyler had two tables to choose from,
which gave me an inkling that maybe
we were the third team to arrive.
Aah.
That was a great feeling for us
knowing that we weren't
in last place but
..we knew whichever team it was
could be right around the corner.
Argh. We're just
..for the second time today,
stuck in traffic,
trying to get to our next destination.
It's just so frustrating.
What the?
How many have you got, Ty?
No.
Hey!
We've been in this cab now
for over 40 minutes.
We're at the whim of the driver
and Bangkok's traffic.
Let's hope everyone's stuck.
No, oh?
What do you reckon?
Hey!
Beautiful.
Nicely done.
When you get a bad taxidriver
and you're in this foreign country,
you just feel so hopeless
and all you can do is pray
that you're gonna get out of there soon.
Bangkok doesn't care
that we're racing.
Need a pit stop? Race to 10play for
behind-the-scenes interviews, extras
and moments you didn't see on TV at:
And on the 10play app.
We're just stuck in traffic
trying to get to our next destination.
We're at the whim of the driver
and Bangkok's traffic.
How may teeth are you missing?
You've got none? Come on, mate.
Just watching Tyler fit some dentures.
We've had our fair share
of strange roadblocks now.
What do you reckon?
Let's try this one.
Tyler is on his third patient.
Nuh.
I think this last
patient is the hardest.
Give me something to work with.
Do you want little teeth?
It couldn't be the last one?
Yeah!
Lovely, Ty. Let's do it.
Thank you.
Tyler is just a pressure player.
The more pressure the better
at this stage for Ty.
I think there could be a team behind us.
Yeah. Let's go.
It was a bit of a reality check for
us having things not go our way
but we're confident
that we can bring it back.
Taxi. Let's get out of here.
Just feeling really stressed
because we don't know if there's
any other teams behind us.
Just hoping
that Tom and Tyler being U-turned
has just bought us enough time
to stay ahead.
I'm just so proud of us.
We thought we were out and we
came back and overtook two teams.
Mate, this is our chance
to get number one.
Got to stay focused.
We are so close.
Just keep racing until we're last.
Yeah.
Here. Look. Here. Here.
Thank you, sir. Let's go.
We need to get out of here
before Tom and Tyler get here.
I've never done anything like this
before.
It took me ages to wear a mouthguard
playing footy,
let alone going and fitting
people's teeth into their mouth.
Hello, ma'am.
Hey, Dr Jerome.
If there's anyone
that can fit some dentures into some
random people's mouths it's you.
I was so paranoid. I kept looking
over my shoulder constantly.
Thinking that Tom and Tyler
would rock up any second.
Come on, move, babe.
Yay! Come on.
Quick. Quick. Quick. Quick. Quick.
There's a taxi rocking up right now,
Jerome.
It's not them thankfully.
We got to the roadblock
a little bit flat,
thought we were at the back of the pack.
Yeah.
But this bloke
has really changed our mood.
This taxidriver has definitely
He's the best bloke ever.
Excuse me. Are we here?
In there? In there? OK. Thank you.
We had to make our way to the pit stop.
But before we could check in
we had to cover this statue of
Ganesh with these golden leaves.
Where do you put the flaky bits, Tim?
Come and have a look for a second.
The whole thing is covered in flakes.
Is it? OK.
Like, that's all flakes.
What does the clue exactly say?
"Apply the adhesive first,
"then wait for it to get tacky
before applying the gold leaf."
-Let's start at the base and work our way
up, I reckon. OK. -Yeah.
Gotta be so careful, eh?
Oh, shit.
The gold things are really
Temperamental.
As soon as your skin or any part of
your body touches the gold stuff
We just had to avoid letting it touch
our skin. That was the trick.
And then we both started covering
this thing from head to toe.
But it was so intricate.
Oh
Hey, guys.
Seeing Tim and Rod wasn't a surprise
because they were ahead of us
the whole day.
Should we try and pack the whole thing.
Yeah.
This is where we can make up time,
good arts and crafts.
- I'm sweating so profusely, eh?
- It's so hot.
Just got one more
set of dentures to go.
Tom and Tyler aren't here yet.
So, we just have to get out of here
before they arrive.
Yes!
Yes. Good work, babe.
We got 'em, all three.
Good work.
Alright. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
As the day progressed
and we didn't see a single team
I really wasn't sure
where we were in the pack.
Yes. Yes. Jump in.
Please go, sir.
Thank you. Thank you.
After seeing Tom and Tyler arrive
a part of us wasn't surprised that
they managed to pull through.
They are such a strong team
that even though we U-turned them,
they somehow managed to come out third.
There was no time to panic,
it was just concentrate.
Looks like this is going to be
a pretty tedious exercise.
We aren't helping anyone.
It was sweet victory for us knowing
we'd clawed our way back up to third.
But we had no idea how far away
Jasmin and Jerome were.
We understand it's a game.
If you want to U-turn us,
that's fine, just tell us.
No more Mr Nice Guy.
Tom and Tyler seemed really stressed
and frustrated at this point,
which is fair enough
because we had U-turned them.
If anything, they've poked the bear
and it's a good thing for us.
That's when the pressure
really started to heat up.
Behind the ears, eh?
You do the big bits.
I'm going to start filling spots.
This is good. It's getting better.
Yeah.
Just fill those ones in there.
All good. Get a test?
Thankyou so much.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We grabbed our statue
and ran straight to that pit stop
to find Beau.
Still hand-in-hand, I love that.
Hold it. Hold it. Hold it.
Welcome to the Thailand!
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
Good job, huh?
Tim
..Rod
..you're the first team.
Yes!
Come over here.
We've waited so long to hear that.
On behalf of Holidays Australia
and Jetstar
you're winning an incredible
adventure in the Northern Territory.
Yes!
We've never been there.
Thanks so much, Beau. It's amazing.
It's so good.
You're going to the finale.
How do you feel, man?
Oh, honestly we've been craving this
number one spot the whole race.
We've been dreaming about it.
To finally get it just feels incredible.
Bring it in.
I'm super proud of you guys.
First team through.
Yes!
We are so pumped. We're going to
win. We have got this in the bag.
- Bring on the finale, baby.
- Whoo!
They're all here.
Hey, guys.
Have you seen Tim and Rod?
Yeah. They're done.
When I walked in and saw Tom and
Tyler there, my jaw hit the floor.
I was thinking
how are we going to pull this off?
There's no way we can catch up now.
It's definitely a hard process.
Yeah. This is tough.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you. OK.
Good eyes.
Careful.
Get out of town! Get out of town,
it's Viv and Joey.
Welcome to the Thailand!
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I'll take that off you, Joey.
Thanks, Beau.
Viv, Joey, you are
..the second team to check in.
Oh, my God.
You're going to the finale of
The Amazing Race Australia.
Oh, my God. Can you believe that?
Nah.
We're going to bring our A game.
We're going to give it
everything we've got.
And we're not going to leave
this race with any regrets.
This is it. Who wants it the most.
Mate, they've got Jasmin .
They're past us.
Don't be so meticulous.
We're feeling really nervous
because we probably spent too much time
on the little parts of the Ganesh.
My hands were literally shaking.
These little pieces of gold leaf
are so intricate and delicate.
We've just got to stay focused.
We just need to remember why we're here,
just to finish the statue for our son.
There's no point.
May as well do a bit more patchwork.
My theory was just to get it right
the first time.
We know the pit stop is next.
It's Jasmin and Jerome or us
that will be going home.
This is so fiddly.
We realised we're actually
catching up really quickly.
Down to the wire. I'm nervous.
Some glue in here. Quickly. Quickly.
It's absolutely panic at this stage.
You can literally see the $250,000
just slipping through your fingers.
We've made it this far
and we could potentially lose it.
Pressure was on. It was just who
could finish their Ganesh first.
On the home stretch of
this pit stop it's down to the wire.
Quickly. Quickly. Quickly.
Excuse me, can we have ours checked,
please?
Can we get it checked now?
Excuse me.
All covered. Yeah? Thank you.
Thank you.
We left not too long after them.
We knew the pit stop
was right around the corner.
And we're just going
a million miles an hour.
They're not the team you wan to be
running to the finish line against.
In the temple.
The temple.
I don't know where to go.
Other way around. Jasmin. Jasmin.
We need as much time in front
because they're quick.
Every second counts.
Go. Go. Go.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Come on to the mat. Thank you.
I'll just put this down.
Jas, Jerome
..you are
..the third team to check in
and you're going to the finale
of The Amazing Race Australia.
So that means
..Tom
..Tyler
..you are
..the last team to check in
and you're eliminated.
Your time on The Race is over.
Bad luck, bruz.
Getting U-turned
was obviously a shock for us.
We got our way back
and then they passed us on the
statues and bit of a killer.
Yeah. I mean,
we thought we had an alliance.
But would have just preferred it
if they'd just said it to our face
instead of lying to us the whole time.
Yeah.
We weren't lying to you guys.
Like, when we voted Tim and Rod in
the first U-turn we 100% meant it.
And then when we had to go back and talk
and think about our future and
..we're doing this for our son,
I just didn't feel like
we could compete with them.
In the end,
like, these guys are unbeatable.
They've won eight out of 10 legs.
I'm really sorry, boys.
I know that's not going to say anything.
I just don't know why it
couldn't have been us, though.
-The hardest decision, honestly. I know
that. -It could have been us too.
They're a strong team.
They beat a U-turn.
Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
I'm so sorry.
It happened. We're out.
You guys want to say
anything to Jas and Jerome?
No. We're good. It's sweet.
Nothing.
Alright. Well, you know how this works.
We don't regret the
decision to U-turn Tom and Tyler.
They know it's a game.
They are the biggest threat.
You don't win eight out of
10 legs if you weren't good.
Jas, Jerome, go and rest and recover.
We'll see you in the finale.
Well done, guys.
Bring it in. You know I've
got time for you guys.
Alright. Boys, your time on The
Race is over. Travel home safely.
I'll see you on the other side.
Yeah. Mate.
How did we get passed
on that statue?
We're a bit bitter at Viv
and Joey and Jasmin and Jerome
for U-turning us.
But at the same time we know it's
a game. And it's there to be won.
And if we were a threat to them
winning, then we totally understand.
Oh, how are you? What's the time?
Let's go.
You are first team to check in!
Well done, boys.
We definitely took away
some great experiences.
Yes!
Yarrr!
Oh, that was one of the best things
I've ever done.
We've had our ups and downs.
Ooh.
Oh, wow.
That was refreshing.
Lived in the middle
of very interesting cultures.
Beautiful.
How sick is this?
Spectacular.
Unfortunately we didn't go out
the way that we wanted to.
Well done, sir.
Well done, mate.
Next time on The Amazing Race
Australia
..it's the race to end
Arrgh!
..all races.
We're coming home for the grand finale.
This race has shocked me. I never
thought I was so competitive.
We're that close to winning now
that we can just taste it.
Who will win?
Just jump.
Oh, shit.
Oh, my God.
And change their life forever?
And you've won a quarter
of a million dollars!
Amazing Race Australia
Are you right, Tim?
Oh, Jeez, that's bad.
..it was time to sink or swim in Malawi.
Tim!
Tim!
Tom and Tyler rose to the top
and continued their record run.
You are the first team to check in.
Well done.
..before Nick and Femi
went down with the ship.
..and you're eliminated.
We can only be grateful
for what we've had so far.
Whoo!
Tonight
Fly to Bangkok, Thailand.
Oh, my God!
Yes!
Over two epic nights
Oooh
..the final four will fight it out
We've literally got a one in
four chance of winning 250K.
Alright. Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go.
The prize is in sight.
The gloves are gonna come off.
Get it down.
We're gonna have to tone down
pleasure and dial up business.
Arrgh!
We want that number one spot so bad.
And failure is not an option
..before a strategic U-turn
leaves one team hanging by a thread.
The suspense is killing me, huh?
Yeah.
Who will survive to make
it to the last pit stop
here on home soil in
the Northern Territory
for the final leg of the
Amazing Race Australia?
We're in the heart of Africa, Malawi,
and it's from here
that we're about to depart
for the penultimate leg
of the greatest race on earth.
Only four teams now remain.
And they'll depart in the order
they arrived at the last pit stop.
Fly to Bangkok, Thailand.
Oh, my God.
Yes!
We've been to Thailand before.
We absolutely love it.
We love the tuk tuks, we love
the energy, we love the people.
We're stoked.
With its picture-postcard beaches,
chaotic cities
and more than 35,000 temples,
Thailand is a country of quirks
and contrasts.
It's also illegal to leave your house
without wearing your underwear.
So let's hope none of the teams
are running low.
"Once there,
make your way to Khlong Toei market
"and eat a Thai treat
to receive your next clue."
"Thanks to the award-winning
Bankwest Halo payment ring,
"you have USD$70
to spend in this leg of the race."
- Caution. U-turn ahead.
- Ohh
Gun it, mate. Come on, go. Go. Go.
Bangkok, Thailand. You been?
No. Never been. Have you?
I've never been either.
Obviously, winning eight legs
is a great achievement
for the both of us.
But our initial goal
for the start of the race
was to make the top three.
So we haven't made it yet.
So we've just got to make sure
we keep going.
To be fair, when you get to the top
four, everyone's really good.
You can't really discount anyone
because they've all had their wins
and been up the top the whole time.
Yep.
We've literally got a
one in four chance of winning 250K.
This is like the best odds that
we'll ever have in our lifetime.
U-turn ahead.
A U-turn can definitely change the race.
It forces the teams
to do both detour challenges.
And being this late in the game
these detours are just getting
harder and harder.
There's a U-turn coming up, babe.
That's unreal.
That is huge.
Strategy is going to be so critical
moving forward.
The prize is in sight.
And everyone's You know,
the gloves are gonna come off.
Literally had all the odds
against us.
We were U-turned in the previous leg.
Just the fact that
all the other teams remaining
have voted against us,
just gives you so much motivation
just to beat them.
Yes.
Alright. Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
We were able to have a quick
sneaky chat with Joe And Viv.
Pretty much say we know
what we've been doing,
in our whole alliance
TOM: Same plan.
Get ourselves to the final three.
Yeah.
Jerome and Jasmin
took us aside at the airport.
They basically reaffirmed with us
that we had a strong alliance
and that with a U-turn
coming up
that they would do what they could
to vote for Tim and Rod.
And as we learned that last leg,
when they're desperate, they're good.
Yeah. Yeah.
Alright.
We know the plan, gang.
We'll catch youse there.
See you there.
Oh, we've got the plan in place.
Alliance strong.
Love the boys, would have a beer
with them after this.
But it's a game.
All teams will now board
the same flight
to Thailand's lively capital, Bangkok.
On the way, they'll each pick a team
to U-turn in secret
and we'll reveal
who got the most votes later.
Excuse me.
Sorry, I just squeeze past.
Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.
Let's go. Let's go. Regular taxi.
Khlong Toei markets.
Khlong Toei.
Yeah.
We need to get there fast.
Very fast.
Are you driving? Alright, let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
Oh, jeez. Sorry.
This leg was probably one
of the most nerve wracking for us.
We were starting the day last.
Quick, quick, quick, quick.
We've gotta go.
Fast, fast, fast.
We were freaking out.
We were scared.
We've gotten the U-turn before.
What if it happens again?
But Joey and Viv and Jasmin
and Jerome, to pick us again,
that would be absolute buffoonery
at its best.
We're going to
Khlong Toei markets
and we're looking for stall
AA15 and AA16
where Tom and I have
to eat three treats,
which I have a wild guess that
they're not going to be treats.
They're gonna be something disgusting.
I have no idea
where they got that idea from.
Hidden away deep in Khlong Toei,
Bangkok's largest fresh food markets,
lies a stall that serves an authentic
Thai delicacy, century eggs.
Made from duck chicken or quail eggs,
these treats are preserved for weeks
until they turn black, gooey
and super salty.
Our teams will need to eat three
of them to receive their next clue.
Good luck.
Ty in Thailand. It's in your name.
I've never been to Bangkok
and I've been to Thailand.
So very excited to be coming here.
It was very built up.
High rises,
actually pretty nice architecture.
A heap going on.
And just a truckload of people.
Oh, my God.
There was people going everywhere.
I felt like a headless chook.
Is there any numbers you can see?
Nuh.
Running around,
had no idea where we were going.
Do you speak English?
It was a bit on.
A bit on.
That's the A13.
Oh, no. we've found it.
We got to the stall
to see our three treats,
which were actually painted eggs.
We have to eat these?
Yeah.
So obviously we thought
that they were just gonna be nice
hard boiled eggs,
maybe salted a little bit, you know.
Barbecue sauce.
Yeah, a little bit of cheese possibly.
Oh
Oh, God.
What is it? What is this?
Three rotten year-old eggs
that were black.
Got no idea what this is.
This is disgusting.
Oh
And I was this close a couple of times.
You've just got to throw it back.
Love it. It's so good.
Nice. Your own recipe?
You should try cooking them
the normal way.
It wasn't great.
Oh, thinking about it.
Thinking about it gets me.
- Get the door on your way.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Joey, it's worth getting
the rain jacket out now.
What? Yep.
Get the rain jacket out now.
When we got to the markets,
it was basically
a full-blown hurricane, typhoon.
The rain was coming down so heavy.
AA15?
This was not what I expected
my Thailand trip to be like.
Sunny tanning weather is what I think.
Not water-infested markets
Water infested.
Water infested.
Stall AA15 and 16?
I finished, I got three down.
For me personally, it wasn't
the smell that did it for me.
I think it was just the texture.
And when you bit into it,
it exploded in your mouth.
And it was this gooey,
yolky blacky stuff.
Get it down. Good boy.
Arrgh!
Good boy. That's it. We're done.
Thank you very much.
Detour.
Water or Wheels?
A detour is a choice
between two tasks,
each with their own unique challenges.
Teams that choose "Water" must
memorise 12 riverside landmarks
as they float along
the iconic river here.
And once they place them
successfully on a map
and they're judged correct,
they'll receive their next clue.
In "Wheels", teams test out
their mechanics skills
with one of Bangkok's most iconic
modes of transport, the tuk tuk.
From an empty shell,
they'll face the tricky task
of rebuilding their very own
three-wheeled wonder
before pimping it out
to receive their next clue.
And remember, at the detour,
one team will find out
that they've been U-turned,
forcing them to complete both tasks.
Yeah. We'll do Water.
We're gonna do the Water.
Arrgh!
Oh
Taxi!
AA. Like this. Like this.
AA15.
Up here?
It was a distinct sign
being like the market.
I just don't remember where it is.
Getting to the market was a disaster.
We'll just walk around the whole
joint until we hit an entrance.
Jasmin! Jasmin!
When we arrived
at the market and found the treats
I knew there's going to be a problem.
So, we've got to
knock back three of these each.
It's just like a boiled egg
in the morning.
Can we have some of this?
It was just the most foul thing
you ever have yeah,
ever put in my mouth ever.
Let it go down.
Let it go down.
They were salty, really slimy.
The yolk part was gooey.
But I just had to put it down.
Alright. We're almost through it.
Then just trying to encourage Jasmin.
Come on, babe. Come on. Come on.
Come on.
We're almost there.
Keep going.
Don't give me the whole thing.
Did you find it?
Yeah.
Babe, Tim and Rod are here now.
We lost a bit of time,
Jasmin struggling through that.
Tim and Rod had come out of nowhere
considering they were
the last to leave the airport.
Three?
Three.
Any?
OK.
There were all these
rainbow-coloured eggs
Which we loved.
Yeah.
So we went straight to the pink ones.
We've gotta eat three.
We thought, "Let's just down these
eggs as quickly as we can.
And then just try not to think of
the rank, disgusting brown egg
that was in front of us.
Arrgh.
Have that last bit, then we're done.
Just go. Just go.
Pump it down. Swallow.
Done? That's three for us.
Completing that challenge
was such a huge relief.
They are not treats
that I'll ever have ever again.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
OK.
Detour. Water or Wheels? Alright.
We're doing Wheels.
We're gonna go Wheels.
Alright. Let's go.
Mate, you had scrambled eggs
this morning for brekky.
It's just like that.
We weren't going down without a fight.
We were like,
"Nah." We downed them, we did it,
patted ourselves on the back.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
And we were out of there.
Detour.
Water or Wheels.
I'm feeling Wheels, do you reckon?
Yeah. I reckon we get it done faster.
Let's do that. Let's do that.
Let's go.
We're trying to find the store numbers
but there's no numbers on their stalls
and nobody understands English.
We've been lost for quite a while now.
The boys are looking
and they're going somewhere.
The boys are up there.
Who?
Tim and Rod.
We saw Tim and Rod hop into a taxi.
They had overtaken us.
I'm getting really stressed 'cause it
shouldn't be this hard to find.
What number is that?
There's no numbers on here.
Far out. Where is this joint?
It was just an absolute nightmare.
Excuse me. Hello.
Is this stall number AA?
All the way at the back?
Thank you. OK. Keep going, Viv.
Yeah. Joey. Joey, here.
Completely missed that.
Hello. How are you?
Hi.
We have some eggs.
Eat?
Eat?
Three?
Three each?
We finally get there, it is
the right place, thank goodness.
What's this? Century egg?
Oh, my God.
Yeah. Century egg.
We grew up with Mum eating this at
home. So, she'd make it herself.
But the thing is
Viv and I never indulged in it
because it was just something
we never wanted to eat.
How is it?
It's alright. It's like egg except saltier.
OK.
I mean, eggs aren't supposed
to be that colour.
Like, you know,
-if you peel the egg and it comes out
black, you know -It's black and gooey.
Yeah. I don't think you're supposed
to eat that.
But apparently it's a delicacy. Yeah.
Try not to think about it.
It's definitely got a unique texture
and taste to it,
but straight down the hatch.
The strategy for us knowing all the
other teams are well ahead of us
was to just down it, get it done,
don't think about the taste and move on.
Awesome. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much. See ya.
Hold that. Hold it.
OK. Detour.
Water or Wheels.
We're going to do water.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I can't believe
we completely overshot this area.
With all teams
now on their way to the detours,
one of them is about to be U-turned
and forced to complete both tasks.
Who will it be?
First to finish will find out.
Come on.
Let's go.
Thank you, sir.
We chose the water challenge,
which is to correctly identify
12 landmarks
while going down the river, remember
them and then place them on the map.
Oh, here we go.
One, two, three, four, five six.
How do you want to break it up?
It would be easier
to go six and six I reckon.
Yeah. I got the bridge on the water.
I'll take these six.
We divvied out six landmarks each.
And then when we got on the water
we both knew all the landmarks
we were looking for
and we could get it done
and get out of there.
What do you do right after eating
three rotten eggs? You go on a boat.
That's one, isn't it?
Seminary. That's my one.
That's one of mine.
I think Tyler and I have
such a high success rate at detours
because we have lived and travelled
with each other.
From this side it's
tower, white, palace.
Tower, white palace.
Red.
No. No. Wasn't it the red?
We've also played
in the same football team.
We're best mates and we know each
other inside and out.
So, I think that's, um
Inside and out. Hold on.
Rosemary, tower, white, memorial,
red, palace.
Yeah.
The right side is good.
We've got that side.
Do you know where you're going, sir?
Like
Where?
Don't have much faith in our driver
where we're going at the moment.
Do you want to ditch this cab
and get another one?
We've just got to
get this first detour done
so that if we are the ones
that get U-turned again,
we've just got to get back there
and get it done.
Definitely keen for this, mate.
Yeah.
"Everything you need
to complete the detour
"is next to your tuk tuk.
"You must all of the items."
We literally felt like two mechanics
walking into the shop.
All these tuk tuks
that were just ripped to shreds.
They didn't have any tyres on them.
All the lights were taken off them.
We have never felt straighter.
It was insane.
What do you reckon?
We do the back tyres first?
We've always loved Thailand.
We've loved the tuk tuks.
So we thought, "How cool is this?
"We're going to put a tuk tuk together,
"make it cute,
make it sparkly and exciting
"and hopefully slay this detour."
There's the sign, look, right ahead.
There. There. There. Stop.
Oh, yes.
OK.
We were about 10 or 15 minutes in
and Jasmin and Jerome run in.
Hey, boys.
Hey, guys. How are you doing?
We got so lost.
The traffic is crazy, isn't it?
Taxi.
You didn't see anyone else yet?
No. No-one else.
I'll put these tyres on first, alright?
OK. While you do that I'm going
to do the little finnicky bits.
Oi, Jasmin.
Yeah.
About the U-turn, absolutely no hard
feelings, we know it's a race,
but are we up for it again?
Honestly.
No. I know we definitely
voted for Tom and Tyler.
I was just like
They're the strongest team.
Sick.
Sick. Thank you so much, guys.
Tom and Tyler, they're just
unbeatable, those blokes
so we'd be stupid not to.
Mate, bro, how good's that?
We just need to hope and pray
that Joey and Viv
did the exact same thing.
We picked water because we backed
ourselves with our memory
with only 12 landmarks that we could
get it done and get out of there.
That's the castle.
Sorry. Just grabbed it.
Tom took the right-hand side,
so he took the four out,
I took the eight on the way back.
Red.
I think we've got it.
Congratulations.
Good boy. Well done.
Tom and I, we smashed this challenge.
Went running for the next clue.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my gosh.
What happens is we go from here to here.
We're on the U-turn board.
Mmm.
It's a bit surprising.
Alright. We've got to
go do the other one.
It was shattering. My heart sank.
And it just meant that this alliance
and all these friendships
and relationships
that we'd built up over the race
is has backfired on us.
It meant nothing.
There's Tom and Tyler.
So much for the alliance.
What are you guys doing to us?
Thanks for the U-turn.
Sorry, boys.
Love you guys. Love you.
Love you, guys.
Sorry, boys.
Spewing.
Yeah. I'm surprised by that.
Anyone has to do a U-turn,
it's gonna be really shitty.
me.
So much for the alliance.
What are you guys doing to us?!
Thanks for the U-turn.
- Love you guys, sorry, boys.
- Love you guys, love you!
Excuse me. Excuse me.
We're definitely very surprised.
We thought we would 100%
not be on the U-turn board
but we're on it.
Can we go?
Let's go.
Go, go.
Go, go, fast.
It stings, but at the same time
we understand and we get it.
It's a race and if we're a threat
to them and their future, then
Then they can lie to us and
throw our friendships in the toilet.
Spewing!
Yeah. I'm surprised by that.
It hurts.
Jasmin, Jerome hurts.
How many minutes? Five minutes?
To use the U-turn
against Tom and Tyler
was the hardest decision we've made
this whole race.
They're just unbeatable, those blokes.
I felt really bad,
but they've just been
so incredibly strong
over the course
of this Amazing Race journey,
they've won eight legs.
For us to have a chance,
we had to remove the biggest threat.
We had to keep in mind
why we came to The Amazing Race,
why we left our son at home for
a whole month, it's because of him.
We wanted to win this race for him.
We just had to smash out
the tuk tuk challenge
and get out of there.
On this side, you reckon?
Wherever it looks pretty.
Mate, this is the cutest thing
we've ever done!
Tinkerbell the tuk tuk.
We named it Tinkerbell Tuk Tuk, or TT.
But then TT reminded
us of Tom and Tyler.
So we're like, "Tinkerbell Tuk Tuk
is gonna eliminate Tom and Tyler."
Yes!
Let's do it.
Boys!
Oh.
I literally saw Tom and Tyler run in
while I was doing the flowers
on the side of the tuk tuk.
And I was just like
..glllll, like this is so awkward.
Like, we've obviously U-turned them,
we know Jasmin and Jerome
have done the same thing.
Double time, Jasmin.
Yeah, just gotta try and focus on
..getting out of here.
None of the teams were talking
to each other,
everyone was just focused on doing
the best tuk tuks as they could.
You wanna get out of there
as quick as you can.
-We've gotta fix that seat, I think
we're done. -Yeah.
The finished product was amazing,
it was so colourful, it was so fun.
We wanted to take it home
and drive it round.
Tim and Rod are having
their tuk tuk checked over
to see it it's passed.
Thank you, so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Surprisingly enough, these two gay boys
got a perfect score on the tuk tuk,
got our clue and we were out of there.
Oh, it's a road block. Road block.
Road block. Road block.
"Who's ready for a mouthful?"
Mobile dental technicians are
admirably filling a need for locals
on the streets of Bangkok.
To get their next clue,
teams will travel
to a community centre to help out
and fit three patients
with a set of dentures.
It's a task guaranteed to put
a smile on your face.
What?
OK, let's go.
Tim, you're gonna do this one.
OK.
They've got their
Cleared out of here.
Yep.
Come on, keep going.
That's mine there, I think.
It was actually quite nice
going on a cruise.
I'd say that we'd probably enjoy it
a lot more
if we weren't in the race.
Yeah, there's another one of mine.
Oh, is that yours?
Yeah.
One at the back?
It was pretty bumpy, though,
the fermented eggs
weren't sitting too well in me.
So, I get really seasick
so I did not enjoy it.
I think I've got all of mine.
Thank you. Thank you.
We split up the iconic locations
to six each
so it was pretty easy to remember six.
That was definitely right.
Yep.
I think that's right actually.
Mine are in order.
Yeah.
And it was just a matter
of picking it in the right order.
Do you wanna call it?
Yep.
Congratulations.
Oh, my God, yes!
Well done! Oh.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
We smashed it in the first go.
Great effort.
"Find a set of dentures that
properly fits each of your patients
"to receive your next clue."
That sounds disgusting.
Alright, let's go.
Let's go.
You could hear a pin drop
in the room,
it was definitely a little bit
awkward between the two teams.
There was no need for us to show
niceties or help them out anymore
because they'd showed that cards.
We just wanted to get this done
and it made us want to win even more.
Keep going, Ty.
Yeah.
Tom and Tyler are normally
pretty chatty with us.
They're keen to have a yarn,
to laugh, a bit of banter.
There was none of that.
It was just cold ice.
So, yeah, it's tense.
I think everyone's focused
on their own race now.
Um, yep, can we have ours
looked over, please?
They're getting a check.
Yep.
Thank you.
I'll do this road block.
"Who's ready for a mouthful?"
Um, we need to go the community centre.
Can you get us there very quick?
We're in a race.
This first place has never
been closer for us.
We want that number one spot so bad.
We were so pumped.
Tom and Tyler are such a threat
in this race
so we were just super happy that
they've finally gotten something
that would hopefully knock 'em off
that first place.
I wonder if they'd already
done the other detour.
That's what I'm saying,
can't get complacent
Anything can happen
in The Amazing Race. Like
Thank you. Thank you.
He said it's up here, hey?
Is there a playground or something?
There's a flag, there's a flag!
There's a flag!
Oh, yeah.
Here, here.
Oh Oh!
Through here.
Hey, how you going?
We got to the road block and it was
the weirdest thing we've ever seen.
It was all these old people
sitting under a bridge
with these crazy dentures in these bowls
waiting to be fitted into their mouths.
What the hell? This is crazy!
OK.
Right, Tim, just take a breath,
we're the only ones here.
Yep.
I would assume that we're either
in first or second place.
Yeah.
No pressure. No pressure.
It was honestly like playing Tetris.
So he's got one big one missing
at the front.
I needed to just slot the right shape
into the gum
by figuring out what was going to fit.
It's definitely not that one.
Whoa, they're shark teeth.
I honestly think he's been in the
wrong career this whole time.
I think he needs to be like
a little dental assistant.
One big one missing.
Yes! I think that's it.
Yes!
That's it!
Whoo!
Good job! Next one! Next one!
Next one! Yes!
So proud of you!
Going into this Wheels challenge
after being U-turned,
we're just going a
million miles an hour.
Yeah.
Jovial Tom and Tyler were gone.
Can we just have a check?
After seeing Jasmin and Jerome
leave, we were obviously shattered.
I just
Thank you so much.
We left not too long after them
but we knew that we're definitely
coming last by a bit
and so it's hard to get the spirits
up. We know it's a long day.
Road block.
"Who's ready for a mouthful?"
I'll do it.
Alright, let's go.
I don't think we feel like we've lost
our lead, to be honest.
We just wanna make sure
that we can smash out this challenge.
Yeah, we've got a taxi!
Thank you.
Hello.
Hello. Yeah, we're going to
So quiet.
Yeah, just a bit flat.
Just a bit flat
but there's still another challenge.
Yes.
So
Just hoping to get to this challenge
quickly and then pump it out.
Oh, this one?
Never in my wildest dreams
would have thought I'd be in Thailand,
watching Tim fit dentures
to these local Thai people.
OK, smile.
You have a beautiful smile!
Some of 'em had the cutest smiles
on their faces.
You got it, Tim, you got it.
So many different dentures in that bowl,
it was so difficult
to get the right fit.
Oh, I think you got it.
I think you got it.
Yeah!
Once we got those dentures in,
these people looked like
they had real teeth.
Thank you.
To be able to get that denture right,
I was so happy.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Yes!
Only needed to get three
and then we were out of there.
Let's go, let's go.
Thank you! See youse!
Bangkok is famous for shops
housing thousands of gold statues
of the gods,
both Buddhist and Hindu.
Giving them their glow is
a complicated and fiddly technique
using gold leaf.
This active route marker requires
both team members to shine
by covering Ganesh, the God
of Success, in a layer of gold.
Once they do that, all they gotta do
is take him to me at the pit stop.
Sounds easy, huh?
Watch this unfold.
Yes! Yes!
Jeez, they had a fair few teeth
missing, hey?
My God.
Taxi!
Please, please, please, please, please.
Come on, come on.
Argh!
Oh, shit!
We're thinking, "Oh, no!
They're gonna jump in here
"and do this super quick."
That was definitely them, hey?
Yeah.
Where is it?
Here?
Down here? Thank you.
At this point, we don't know
where Jasmin and Jerome are.
We don't know how far into
the second detour Tom and Tyler are.
There, there, there. Across here.
Cross here? Yep.
Pick a table.
Yep.
Hello.
We're just really trying to hustle
and just try and stay as ahead
as possible.
Bottom teeth
OK, smile for me.
OK. Few teeth missing there.
That could be it. Maybe that one.
It was super weird.
It was like a human jigsaw puzzle.
Yes. Perfect! Thank you.
You got this, Joe.
Oh, is it that one?
Oh, yeah! Thank you.
Maybe that one.
I was so concentrated,
just in the moment.
Is that OK? Yeah! Thank you.
Well done, Joe.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
We were in and out of
that road block super quick.
I'd say within ten minutes.
Back the way we came.
Taxidriver was gonna wait for us.
Yep. Where is he? There he is.
Good man.
Hi.
Thanks, my friend.
OK, let me give you the address.
How far away is it?
We need to be there.
As fast as you can go, please.
We just gotta go hell for leather.
Very quick.
Can we please go fast.
This is life changing for us.
I know.
Thank you.
There's four tables.
Yeah. Does that mean anything?
Maybe another team's not here yet.
When we arrived at the road block,
Tyler had two tables to choose from,
which gave me an inkling that maybe
we were the third team to arrive.
Aah.
That was a great feeling for us
knowing that we weren't
in last place but
..we knew whichever team it was
could be right around the corner.
Argh. We're just
..for the second time today,
stuck in traffic,
trying to get to our next destination.
It's just so frustrating.
What the?
How many have you got, Ty?
No.
Hey!
We've been in this cab now
for over 40 minutes.
We're at the whim of the driver
and Bangkok's traffic.
Let's hope everyone's stuck.
No, oh?
What do you reckon?
Hey!
Beautiful.
Nicely done.
When you get a bad taxidriver
and you're in this foreign country,
you just feel so hopeless
and all you can do is pray
that you're gonna get out of there soon.
Bangkok doesn't care
that we're racing.
Need a pit stop? Race to 10play for
behind-the-scenes interviews, extras
and moments you didn't see on TV at:
And on the 10play app.
We're just stuck in traffic
trying to get to our next destination.
We're at the whim of the driver
and Bangkok's traffic.
How may teeth are you missing?
You've got none? Come on, mate.
Just watching Tyler fit some dentures.
We've had our fair share
of strange roadblocks now.
What do you reckon?
Let's try this one.
Tyler is on his third patient.
Nuh.
I think this last
patient is the hardest.
Give me something to work with.
Do you want little teeth?
It couldn't be the last one?
Yeah!
Lovely, Ty. Let's do it.
Thank you.
Tyler is just a pressure player.
The more pressure the better
at this stage for Ty.
I think there could be a team behind us.
Yeah. Let's go.
It was a bit of a reality check for
us having things not go our way
but we're confident
that we can bring it back.
Taxi. Let's get out of here.
Just feeling really stressed
because we don't know if there's
any other teams behind us.
Just hoping
that Tom and Tyler being U-turned
has just bought us enough time
to stay ahead.
I'm just so proud of us.
We thought we were out and we
came back and overtook two teams.
Mate, this is our chance
to get number one.
Got to stay focused.
We are so close.
Just keep racing until we're last.
Yeah.
Here. Look. Here. Here.
Thank you, sir. Let's go.
We need to get out of here
before Tom and Tyler get here.
I've never done anything like this
before.
It took me ages to wear a mouthguard
playing footy,
let alone going and fitting
people's teeth into their mouth.
Hello, ma'am.
Hey, Dr Jerome.
If there's anyone
that can fit some dentures into some
random people's mouths it's you.
I was so paranoid. I kept looking
over my shoulder constantly.
Thinking that Tom and Tyler
would rock up any second.
Come on, move, babe.
Yay! Come on.
Quick. Quick. Quick. Quick. Quick.
There's a taxi rocking up right now,
Jerome.
It's not them thankfully.
We got to the roadblock
a little bit flat,
thought we were at the back of the pack.
Yeah.
But this bloke
has really changed our mood.
This taxidriver has definitely
He's the best bloke ever.
Excuse me. Are we here?
In there? In there? OK. Thank you.
We had to make our way to the pit stop.
But before we could check in
we had to cover this statue of
Ganesh with these golden leaves.
Where do you put the flaky bits, Tim?
Come and have a look for a second.
The whole thing is covered in flakes.
Is it? OK.
Like, that's all flakes.
What does the clue exactly say?
"Apply the adhesive first,
"then wait for it to get tacky
before applying the gold leaf."
-Let's start at the base and work our way
up, I reckon. OK. -Yeah.
Gotta be so careful, eh?
Oh, shit.
The gold things are really
Temperamental.
As soon as your skin or any part of
your body touches the gold stuff
We just had to avoid letting it touch
our skin. That was the trick.
And then we both started covering
this thing from head to toe.
But it was so intricate.
Oh
Hey, guys.
Seeing Tim and Rod wasn't a surprise
because they were ahead of us
the whole day.
Should we try and pack the whole thing.
Yeah.
This is where we can make up time,
good arts and crafts.
- I'm sweating so profusely, eh?
- It's so hot.
Just got one more
set of dentures to go.
Tom and Tyler aren't here yet.
So, we just have to get out of here
before they arrive.
Yes!
Yes. Good work, babe.
We got 'em, all three.
Good work.
Alright. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
As the day progressed
and we didn't see a single team
I really wasn't sure
where we were in the pack.
Yes. Yes. Jump in.
Please go, sir.
Thank you. Thank you.
After seeing Tom and Tyler arrive
a part of us wasn't surprised that
they managed to pull through.
They are such a strong team
that even though we U-turned them,
they somehow managed to come out third.
There was no time to panic,
it was just concentrate.
Looks like this is going to be
a pretty tedious exercise.
We aren't helping anyone.
It was sweet victory for us knowing
we'd clawed our way back up to third.
But we had no idea how far away
Jasmin and Jerome were.
We understand it's a game.
If you want to U-turn us,
that's fine, just tell us.
No more Mr Nice Guy.
Tom and Tyler seemed really stressed
and frustrated at this point,
which is fair enough
because we had U-turned them.
If anything, they've poked the bear
and it's a good thing for us.
That's when the pressure
really started to heat up.
Behind the ears, eh?
You do the big bits.
I'm going to start filling spots.
This is good. It's getting better.
Yeah.
Just fill those ones in there.
All good. Get a test?
Thankyou so much.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
We grabbed our statue
and ran straight to that pit stop
to find Beau.
Still hand-in-hand, I love that.
Hold it. Hold it. Hold it.
Welcome to the Thailand!
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
Good job, huh?
Tim
..Rod
..you're the first team.
Yes!
Come over here.
We've waited so long to hear that.
On behalf of Holidays Australia
and Jetstar
you're winning an incredible
adventure in the Northern Territory.
Yes!
We've never been there.
Thanks so much, Beau. It's amazing.
It's so good.
You're going to the finale.
How do you feel, man?
Oh, honestly we've been craving this
number one spot the whole race.
We've been dreaming about it.
To finally get it just feels incredible.
Bring it in.
I'm super proud of you guys.
First team through.
Yes!
We are so pumped. We're going to
win. We have got this in the bag.
- Bring on the finale, baby.
- Whoo!
They're all here.
Hey, guys.
Have you seen Tim and Rod?
Yeah. They're done.
When I walked in and saw Tom and
Tyler there, my jaw hit the floor.
I was thinking
how are we going to pull this off?
There's no way we can catch up now.
It's definitely a hard process.
Yeah. This is tough.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you. OK.
Good eyes.
Careful.
Get out of town! Get out of town,
it's Viv and Joey.
Welcome to the Thailand!
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I'll take that off you, Joey.
Thanks, Beau.
Viv, Joey, you are
..the second team to check in.
Oh, my God.
You're going to the finale of
The Amazing Race Australia.
Oh, my God. Can you believe that?
Nah.
We're going to bring our A game.
We're going to give it
everything we've got.
And we're not going to leave
this race with any regrets.
This is it. Who wants it the most.
Mate, they've got Jasmin .
They're past us.
Don't be so meticulous.
We're feeling really nervous
because we probably spent too much time
on the little parts of the Ganesh.
My hands were literally shaking.
These little pieces of gold leaf
are so intricate and delicate.
We've just got to stay focused.
We just need to remember why we're here,
just to finish the statue for our son.
There's no point.
May as well do a bit more patchwork.
My theory was just to get it right
the first time.
We know the pit stop is next.
It's Jasmin and Jerome or us
that will be going home.
This is so fiddly.
We realised we're actually
catching up really quickly.
Down to the wire. I'm nervous.
Some glue in here. Quickly. Quickly.
It's absolutely panic at this stage.
You can literally see the $250,000
just slipping through your fingers.
We've made it this far
and we could potentially lose it.
Pressure was on. It was just who
could finish their Ganesh first.
On the home stretch of
this pit stop it's down to the wire.
Quickly. Quickly. Quickly.
Excuse me, can we have ours checked,
please?
Can we get it checked now?
Excuse me.
All covered. Yeah? Thank you.
Thank you.
We left not too long after them.
We knew the pit stop
was right around the corner.
And we're just going
a million miles an hour.
They're not the team you wan to be
running to the finish line against.
In the temple.
The temple.
I don't know where to go.
Other way around. Jasmin. Jasmin.
We need as much time in front
because they're quick.
Every second counts.
Go. Go. Go.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Come on to the mat. Thank you.
I'll just put this down.
Jas, Jerome
..you are
..the third team to check in
and you're going to the finale
of The Amazing Race Australia.
So that means
..Tom
..Tyler
..you are
..the last team to check in
and you're eliminated.
Your time on The Race is over.
Bad luck, bruz.
Getting U-turned
was obviously a shock for us.
We got our way back
and then they passed us on the
statues and bit of a killer.
Yeah. I mean,
we thought we had an alliance.
But would have just preferred it
if they'd just said it to our face
instead of lying to us the whole time.
Yeah.
We weren't lying to you guys.
Like, when we voted Tim and Rod in
the first U-turn we 100% meant it.
And then when we had to go back and talk
and think about our future and
..we're doing this for our son,
I just didn't feel like
we could compete with them.
In the end,
like, these guys are unbeatable.
They've won eight out of 10 legs.
I'm really sorry, boys.
I know that's not going to say anything.
I just don't know why it
couldn't have been us, though.
-The hardest decision, honestly. I know
that. -It could have been us too.
They're a strong team.
They beat a U-turn.
Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
I'm so sorry.
It happened. We're out.
You guys want to say
anything to Jas and Jerome?
No. We're good. It's sweet.
Nothing.
Alright. Well, you know how this works.
We don't regret the
decision to U-turn Tom and Tyler.
They know it's a game.
They are the biggest threat.
You don't win eight out of
10 legs if you weren't good.
Jas, Jerome, go and rest and recover.
We'll see you in the finale.
Well done, guys.
Bring it in. You know I've
got time for you guys.
Alright. Boys, your time on The
Race is over. Travel home safely.
I'll see you on the other side.
Yeah. Mate.
How did we get passed
on that statue?
We're a bit bitter at Viv
and Joey and Jasmin and Jerome
for U-turning us.
But at the same time we know it's
a game. And it's there to be won.
And if we were a threat to them
winning, then we totally understand.
Oh, how are you? What's the time?
Let's go.
You are first team to check in!
Well done, boys.
We definitely took away
some great experiences.
Yes!
Yarrr!
Oh, that was one of the best things
I've ever done.
We've had our ups and downs.
Ooh.
Oh, wow.
That was refreshing.
Lived in the middle
of very interesting cultures.
Beautiful.
How sick is this?
Spectacular.
Unfortunately we didn't go out
the way that we wanted to.
Well done, sir.
Well done, mate.
Next time on The Amazing Race
Australia
..it's the race to end
Arrgh!
..all races.
We're coming home for the grand finale.
This race has shocked me. I never
thought I was so competitive.
We're that close to winning now
that we can just taste it.
Who will win?
Just jump.
Oh, shit.
Oh, my God.
And change their life forever?
And you've won a quarter
of a million dollars!
