00:00Previously on The Amazing Race, Celebrity Edition, in Colombo.
00:08Whatever happens, we tried our best, okay?
00:11Aisha and Scott narrowly escaped a plane ride home.
00:15It's a predetermined, non-elimination leg.
00:18Tonight, welcome to the jungle.
00:22Four, six, far out.
00:25Where one of your favourites...
00:27I can't do it, I'll stuff it.
00:28You get it, you get it, you get it, get it, get it!
00:30We'll go home.
00:32Stay still.
00:33Am I painting you or you're painting me?
00:34Scott, you just f***ed into it, Scott.
00:36This could be our unravelling right now.
00:42There's only enough room in this race for one power couple.
00:44And that's...
00:45Ah!
00:58What's up!
01:05Ah!
01:09Ah!
01:11Ah!
01:19Ah!
01:20Ah!
01:20Ah!
01:20Ah!
01:20Deep in the jungle of Sri Lanka is a lost kingdom,
01:39and at its heart is Sigiriya.
01:431,500 years ago, this region was the centre of power in all of Sri Lanka,
01:48a place where royalty rose, fell and faded away,
01:53a place of secrets, intrigue and forgotten arts.
01:57It's hard to believe that this was only rediscovered in the 1980s,
02:00but since then it has undergone a restoration of epic proportions.
02:05It's a citadel, truly fit for a king.
02:08And you know what they say, small throne, big kingdom.
02:12This is the lost kingdom of Sigiriya,
02:15and the setting for the ninth leg of the Amazing Race Australia.
02:22Teams will depart from the city of Colombo
02:24in the order they arrived at the last pit stop.
02:28Ripperita.
02:29Rooted both.
02:31Races, it's time to explore a lost kingdom.
02:33Travel by rail.
02:34To the ancient fortress of Sigiriya.
02:36Climb to the summit and find the throne of the lost king.
02:39When you arrive, your next clue awaits.
02:40Oh, jeez.
02:42By rail!
02:43Let's go.
02:43The train will carry our teams north
02:46into the jungle of Sri Lanka to arrive at Sigiriya.
02:51Once there, they must climb Sigiriya Rock.
02:54At the top, next to the king's throne,
02:56they'll find their next clue.
02:59Excuse me.
02:59Do you know where the train station is?
03:01And then left?
03:03Left?
03:04Thank you so much.
03:06We'll go to the next left.
03:07Next left?
03:07Yeah.
03:08I'm feeling nervous because we're coming in first.
03:10We had a lot of fun last leg,
03:13and I think that the fun led us to first.
03:15I love that this is the commute for the morning, babe.
03:18So I'm hoping that we can carry that into this leg.
03:22And she did it.
03:24Kuro Naga.
03:25All right.
03:26Got it.
03:26Got this piece.
03:27Bang.
03:28You're guilty.
03:29This train is going to be so beautiful.
03:31I know.
03:32I can't wait.
03:33Watch it.
03:36I need to take a ride here.
03:38This is very exciting.
03:40How fun.
03:41I wanted to go on a train in Sri Lanka.
03:44We are starting today in last place,
03:47and you better believe that we aren't staying here.
03:50The strategy today, don't come last.
03:54Let's hope that's not our train.
04:05Don't do that.
04:07Yay!
04:07Yay!
04:09Go.
04:09Go, beast mode.
04:10Go.
04:11Let's get on.
04:11OK.
04:13Let's go.
04:19Hello.
04:20How are you?
04:22OK.
04:22Very good.
04:23I love this.
04:24Your hand.
04:24No, your hand.
04:25Beautiful.
04:26Beautiful.
04:27The henna.
04:27Yeah, the henna.
04:29There are no doors.
04:30There's no doors.
04:31No doors on here.
04:32I can still see the water.
04:33I know.
04:34It's gorgeous.
04:34How wild.
04:35What a beautiful daily commute.
04:37It's early in the morning.
04:38It's this hot.
04:39It's going to be a funky one.
04:41Yeah, yeah.
04:45Oh, this one.
04:46Is this our train?
04:48It's right.
04:50All right.
04:51All right.
04:52Let's go.
04:53We missed the first train, so we have to get on the second train.
04:56But that's OK.
04:57This train?
04:58Any setback that we have at this point, we're using to fuel our fire.
05:03Are you on TikTok?
05:04Can I show you something?
05:05This is how we get followers.
05:10So we're at the port end now.
05:12Yeah.
05:12I have been very surprised that we can pull our ramshackle skills together and succeed in some of these tasks.
05:19That's been a big relief.
05:20This experience has been a really profound one to be able to share it with my brother because we live in different cities and to be able to have quality time together is fairly rare.
05:31We're both raising kids.
05:32We're both raising kids of our own.
05:33And there's just something about this race and something about the experiences we're having and the people that we're meeting.
05:40I don't want it to end.
05:41It's pretty nice.
05:49I'm just enjoying this breeze.
05:52Oh, I want to walk along the train track.
05:54We will.
05:55Let's go.
05:56Let's go.
05:57Let's go.
05:58Next up, cooling data.
06:00Woo-hoo!
06:06Let's go.
06:07Stairs, stairs, stairs.
06:08Whoop!
06:09Alright, okay.
06:14Focus.
06:15Here we go.
06:16The summit.
06:17Summit?
06:18Yep.
06:19Is that where we're headed?
06:20Yep.
06:21Oh, my God.
06:29Were you going up there?
06:30Yeah.
06:31Looks like it.
06:35Here you go, mate.
06:36Here you go.
06:40Oh, wow.
06:42Oh, shit.
06:43You're going to be whiskers.
06:44Wow.
06:45Now, I have the knees of a 90-year-old.
06:47And I'm thinking, oh, wicked.
06:51There are 5,000 steps.
06:54Real steep.
06:55All the way to the top.
06:56No good steps.
07:01Killing it, Tony.
07:03Woo!
07:04Well done, babe.
07:06Just keep pushing.
07:07One foot in front of the other.
07:08Get about halfway up, I'm struggling.
07:10I cannot get enough oxygen into my lungs.
07:13Babe, this is...
07:15You're so high.
07:16So I just keep getting hotter and hotter and hotter
07:18and more out of breath.
07:20Did you say mercy?
07:21Yeah.
07:22Like, as in, like, time out mercy?
07:23No, they give me mercy.
07:28Alright.
07:29The race is off, baby.
07:30Yes, yes, yes.
07:31You're right.
07:32Alright, where are the steers?
07:35Bag drop.
07:36Bag drop, yes.
07:37One, two, three.
07:38Two, three.
07:39Okay, we're fourth.
07:40King's throne.
07:41Surely the king's always at the top of something.
07:42Surely the king looks down upon his people.
07:46I'd rather be last in the morning
07:48and make it to the mat not being last.
07:50Yep.
07:52Hello.
07:54Oh, ****.
07:58Okay, I'm gonna need a really good massage after this.
08:02Oh, my gosh.
08:03Stairs are never-ending.
08:05That's not pleasure.
08:06That's not fun.
08:07Hikers, like, oh, they're like cyclists.
08:10Some of the worst people on the planet.
08:12How you doing, honey?
08:13Alright?
08:14Yeah, good.
08:15Yeah?
08:16We go up a lot of hills for fun, especially Scott,
08:18and he will get up at about 4am and go and walk up a mountain,
08:23fly off, sometimes he'll do that twice,
08:25and then go to a shift at work and do a 12-hour shift.
08:28Great way to spin your morning.
08:29Alright.
08:30We've got to be close, eh?
08:34Well, my fear of heights just kicked in.
08:37Yay!
08:39This is ridiculous.
08:42Almost there.
08:43Last push, babe.
08:44Last push, babe.
08:45Last push.
08:46This is your last push.
08:47This is outstanding.
08:49We're on the summit.
08:50We are kings of the world.
08:52Keep going up.
08:53Better look for king's throne.
08:55Where would the king's throne be?
08:57Right at the top.
08:58Of course.
08:59Yeah.
09:00Because that's where the king would sit.
09:01I don't see a clue, babe.
09:03No?
09:04No.
09:05Wrong again, Team Maroon.
09:06Wrong again.
09:07Hey, baby, it's down here.
09:08Down this way?
09:09Yeah.
09:10Maybe.
09:12I haven't seen a clue.
09:14Excuse me?
09:15Did you see the king's throne?
09:18Right, thank you.
09:20Have you seen something?
09:21No.
09:23What's that?
09:25Oh.
09:26Oh, my God.
09:28Go, go, go, go.
09:29Go, go, go.
09:30Go, go, go.
09:31Go, go, go.
09:34Root info.
09:36In ancient times, snake chalmers were also considered to be healers.
09:39I'll be honest with you.
09:40This is the craziest challenge I have ever seen in Amazing Race Australia history.
09:45Now, all the teams have to do is pull a token out of that basket.
09:50Problem is, there is a cobra in the basket with the token.
09:55It has fangs.
09:57This is real.
09:59Holy shit!
10:01While one team member plays a soothing tune to distract the cobra, the other person must
10:06find the courage to reach into the basket and retrieve the token.
10:11If they survive, they'll receive their next clue.
10:13Oh, yeah!
10:14Nah, nah, nah.
10:15Nah.
10:16Nah.
10:17Nah.
10:18Good luck with that.
10:20I need new undies.
10:22Oh, my God.
10:23Snakes.
10:24Babe, snakes.
10:25Snakes.
10:26I hate snakes.
10:27You hate snakes.
10:28I like them.
10:29Should we play the flute?
10:30Yeah.
10:31Okay.
10:32I think if we go to this, it might be just here, mate.
10:34This way.
10:35I think I may have just spotted something.
10:36Yeah, I think.
10:37There.
10:38I'm here.
10:39Okay, let's go.
10:42Rude info.
10:43Scott, come around this way.
10:44No, you can't.
10:45This way.
10:46Right there.
10:47We caught up to one of them.
10:48Wicked.
10:49It's got to be at the rear of the top, eh?
10:53Where's the clue box?
10:55You reckon it's down there somewhere?
10:57Yeah.
10:58From here, you've got a vantage point.
10:59You can see where all the teams are.
11:00Let's just hang out here in the shade.
11:01Watch everybody.
11:02Yeah.
11:03There's no point walking around the whole thing, getting tired, and then being on the opposite
11:06side where it could be.
11:07True.
11:08Follow me.
11:09Follow me.
11:10Follow me.
11:11Yeah?
11:12Why?
11:13Because I can see it.
11:14What's the look at?
11:15Right here.
11:16Look, there's nothing.
11:17There's nothing.
11:18There's nothing.
11:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:20Hide it.
11:21Hide it in your shorts.
11:22Going up my shirt.
11:23Go down.
11:24Go this.
11:25Oh, man.
11:26Luke and Scott did find it first.
11:27Wicked.
11:28Here it is.
11:29Ah, it's like a big seat, like the King's throne.
11:31Down here, Ma.
11:32Ready?
11:33Work together to charm a cobra out of its basket.
11:34And retrieve a token for your next clue.
11:35Oh, snake charming.
11:36Yeah?
11:37Alright, let's go.
11:38Looking for a snake charmer.
11:39Played recorder since I was in primary school.
11:40That's okay.
11:41I have complete faith.
11:42Just gotta do it.
11:43Robert has a fear of three things in life, I would say.
11:44One, spiders.
11:45Two, being wet at any point.
11:46Don't like it.
11:47Hates being wet.
11:48Yeah.
11:49Don't like it.
11:50Yeah.
11:51Don't like it.
11:52Hates being wet.
11:53Yeah.
11:54And three.
11:55Oh, my God.
11:56I can hear it hissing in there already.
11:57Now.
11:58You can be alright?
11:59You can do it.
12:00I'll try and keep him this way, babe.
12:01You grab it.
12:02Okay.
12:03But go slow.
12:04Okay.
12:05Where is it?
12:06It's under his head.
12:07Oh, my gosh.
12:08Get down low.
12:09Oh.
12:10He's loose.
12:11Oh.
12:12He's angry.
12:13Oh.
12:14Oh!
12:15Oh.
12:16Oh, he's loose.
12:17He's angry.
12:18Oh, oh.
12:19Hee-hoo-hoo-hoo!
12:20Okay, ma-ha!
12:21Oh.
12:27Oh, oh, tickling.
12:28He's 60,000 evolucing.
12:32This time, take 30,000 molerues.
12:37Okay, we've got it angry.
12:39We've got him angry.
12:40It was mad as a cut snake, except it was a full snake.
12:44Hang on, you get it, you get it, get it, get it, get it.
12:47Oh, my gosh.
12:51Oh, we've got the mic.
12:52We've got the mic.
12:55We might not make it through this challenge.
12:57Oh, snakes.
13:04He has to be upright for you to get it.
13:07Thanks for calm.
13:08Calm. We're calm?
13:10Hello.
13:11Putting your hand into a basket full of cobra
13:14is the most counterintuitive thing you can possibly do.
13:18Am I playing?
13:20You're grabbing?
13:21You're... You play.
13:22You play, I'll grab.
13:23This is a real cobra,
13:25and he's going to play his little flute there,
13:28and I'm going to stick my hand into the basket.
13:34I'm thinking, I'm a dead man,
13:35but it's probably how I would have wanted it to go.
13:38If it's any consolation,
13:39I would have sucked the poison out.
13:42Would you, though?
13:43No.
13:47Hello.
13:48How are you?
13:49Hello, sir.
13:51You can do this.
13:52Just pretend it's a puppy.
13:54Yeah.
13:55The snake had to be upright.
13:56That was part of the challenge.
13:57So I'm waving this lead around
13:59to hypnotise the snake.
14:03Oh.
14:05So there's a station.
14:06We need to go get that station down there.
14:07We grew up in New Zealand.
14:09We don't have snakes.
14:11So if you're playing the flute,
14:13you sit on that one.
14:13I'll play the flute,
14:14because I actually play the flute,
14:15but this is a recording.
14:17I've never seen a cobra before in my life.
14:20Oh, wow.
14:21I really don't know what to expect.
14:24Look at that.
14:25That's impressive, though, isn't it?
14:26Come over here.
14:27Wow.
14:29For better or for worse,
14:30we're not really scared of snakes.
14:32What's your problem?
14:34Oh, well, you've got a tongue.
14:35So do I.
14:37I hear you've got a gift for us.
14:39Let's do this.
14:40Remember to move it around here.
14:49I see the token.
14:51I'm very uncomfortable with this.
14:53Yeah, it's not okay.
14:54I'm uncomfortable for many reasons.
14:56One is I don't like the way Luke's moving.
14:59No, not forward and back.
15:01Not forward and back.
15:02It goes side to side.
15:04No, not you.
15:05The thing goes side to side.
15:06I just need it to stand up.
15:11Maybe lift it up a little bit more.
15:13Just trying to see where the token is.
15:15I can't see it.
15:16I'm really annoying this snake
15:18and I'm making it attack what I'm holding.
15:21So basically I'm saying,
15:22attack me, not epiphany.
15:26Classic mother move.
15:27I was putting on a show.
15:31You got it, Mum.
15:33Got it, got it.
15:34Put it down, put it down.
15:35Well done, Ep.
15:38Well done.
15:39Yay, pinkies.
15:43Oh, fantastic.
15:44Thank you so much, sir.
15:45That's amazing.
15:47Detour.
15:47Detour.
15:48Baby.
15:49Fire dance or fire mask?
15:51A detour is a choice between two challenges,
15:54each with its own pros and cons.
15:57In this detour,
15:58teams must choose between fire dance or fire mask.
16:02In this challenge, teams will need to learn the art of guinea sasila.
16:07Traditional fire dance that's, well, it's so hot right now.
16:11Teams must master the complex choreography,
16:14keeping strict time with the beat,
16:16then end the dance with a bang.
16:18Get it right, they'll receive your next clue.
16:21Get it wrong, and all this is very flammable.
16:31Blacked out for a bit of my life.
16:32In fire mask, teams will paint a traditional Raksha mask.
16:37It's believed to bless the wearer and ward off evil spirits.
16:40One team member must paint the intricate details
16:44of their partner's headdress
16:45while having their own face painted.
16:48It's a memory challenge
16:49that also tests communication skills and patience.
16:53Once the local artist is satisfied,
16:55they'll receive their next clue.
16:57We're going to go with the mask.
16:59Yeah, let's do it.
17:00And just to keep them on their toes,
17:03they'll be self-driving tuk-tuks to their next location
17:06and for the remainder of this leg.
17:09There we are.
17:09Oh, that's not a boot.
17:11Chuck it in the back.
17:14OK, up, I've got it.
17:15Off we go.
17:17Yeah!
17:20Hey!
17:23Whoa!
17:26What a nightmare!
17:32I was keeping an eye on what everyone else was doing.
17:36Everyone's struggling.
17:39If we just get ahead of them,
17:41we can get to the next challenge.
17:43All right, babe, do you want me to have a go?
17:44Yep.
17:47Yep.
17:47Yep.
17:49Wait till the top right.
17:49You've got to wait.
17:50I think we were looking into the eyes of this cobra
17:53for about nine or ten months.
17:57Felt like that.
17:58Yeah.
18:01The cobra's demeanour,
18:03and we called him Gavin.
18:05Oh!
18:07Gavin's demeanour was fairly grumpy
18:09and he was all over the top of the token,
18:14so I couldn't even see the token
18:16underneath this massive cobra.
18:23You're killing it.
18:25That's it.
18:26That's it.
18:29Ah!
18:30Ah!
18:31Sonny, you're so brave.
18:45Check, please.
18:49Hello, sir.
18:50Hello, sir.
18:51Thank you so much.
18:52Thank you very much.
18:54Rip, rip wood, chip.
18:55D2R.
18:57Fire dance or fire mask?
18:59Do you want to go fire mask?
19:00Yeah.
19:01Yeah?
19:01Yeah?
19:01Okay, dance.
19:02Let's go.
19:03Yeah, I got it.
19:03Okay.
19:04Okay.
19:05Let's get out of here.
19:06Let's do it, babe.
19:07Remember the tuk-tuk?
19:08Yep.
19:09You are one with the tuk-tuk.
19:12Ah!
19:14Hey!
19:15Well, this is pretty sick.
19:17Yep.
19:17I'm driving the tuk-a-tuk, okay?
19:20We've got to...
19:21Oh, babe, careful.
19:21Careful, horse and cart, horse and cart.
19:23Okay.
19:24Okay.
19:25I'm going to say horse and cart.
19:26I'm going to say oxen cart.
19:27Oxen cart.
19:28That is wild.
19:30Yeah, you navigate that.
19:31There's tuk-tukes coming straight at her.
19:33Oh, God!
19:34Ah!
19:35Ah!
19:37And then...
19:39There's an elephant on the road!
19:41Oh, my God.
19:42Why?
19:42I'm right.
19:43Hello.
19:44Hello, elephant.
19:45Oh, my God.
19:46You're not in Australia anymore.
19:48When there are elephants on the road,
19:50you're giving way to elephants.
19:51No, thank you.
20:00Maybe play something a bit more soothing
20:01than just that.
20:05The token's quite deep in there, isn't it?
20:09Over there!
20:09Over there!
20:11Yep, yep, yep.
20:13Yep, yep, yep.
20:14Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
20:15We've got the token.
20:16The token.
20:17Good.
20:18Good.
20:20Amazing.
20:21Thank you so much.
20:23We've got fire dance or fire mask.
20:25All right, let's do dance.
20:26Yeah, let's go.
20:30Speed bump.
20:32For arriving last in the previous leg
20:34but not eliminated,
20:35your tuk-tuk needs some repairs
20:36before you can continue.
20:37Okay.
20:38Oh, look, it's flat.
20:39We need a...
20:40Oh, man, is it just that one?
20:41Yes, sir.
20:41What's this, Edith?
20:45Yeah.
20:46Well done, team!
20:52All right, you ready?
20:54Yeah, yeah.
20:54Okay, let's get out.
20:56Okay.
20:59Okay.
21:00Now, which mask are we doing?
21:03There's the mask.
21:04I paint your face while I'm wearing this.
21:06Yeah.
21:06You paint this.
21:08Can I paint it yellow and then put red on top?
21:11Yes.
21:11Just keep it separate.
21:13Mummy is not just the host of Big Brother.
21:16I'm an artist.
21:17You know, I know how to paint.
21:19Excuse me.
21:21Just...
21:22Hello.
21:22How are you?
21:23Hi.
21:24Hi, guys.
21:25Okay.
21:27Yellow?
21:28I'm going to paint your face red.
21:29Ready?
21:29Yeah.
21:30Just tell me what you need.
21:32You just paint.
21:33Get it on you.
21:35Get it all on you.
21:36I'm so nervous with just how finicky this is.
21:39The detail.
21:40How time-consuming this is.
21:42It's really not easy, I'm going to say.
21:45I need you to close your eyes for a second.
21:48Whoop.
21:49Whoop.
21:49Whoop.
21:52Yep.
21:52Looking great, babe.
21:57Don't tap it.
21:58Don't know.
21:58It's got a movement.
21:59It'll stand up.
22:00It'll come up.
22:01Stop.
22:01There's definitely, I think, a bit of stress where we are in the pack.
22:07Focus it on that.
22:10Keep it there.
22:14Got it.
22:17Go, Scott.
22:18Look at the token, not the snake.
22:20I need you to go in a bit more.
22:23Go.
22:23Oh, my God.
22:24Go.
22:26Go, Scott.
22:31Get me out of here.
22:35Thank you so much.
22:37Fire mask.
22:38What do you think?
22:39Fire mask.
22:39Okay, let's go.
22:40Thank you so much.
22:41See you later.
22:43What do you think?
22:44Fire mask.
22:44Fire mask.
22:45Cool, let's go.
22:49That's already pretty much there.
22:50Yeah.
22:51Even though we get the speed bump, we're really determined to not be last.
22:59Here we go, Mel.
23:00Me driving a tuk-tuk.
23:02Okay, please let me give you reason to give you five stars.
23:05All right, you ready?
23:06Yeah.
23:08Close it up.
23:12All right.
23:14Handbrake off.
23:16Are you checked all those things?
23:17Yeah, it's all neutral.
23:18It's just not ticking over.
23:20We need to get on the rope.
23:22All right.
23:23Ties are all on.
23:26Oh, come on.
23:28I mean, honey, that didn't set us back that bad.
23:29Look, Mel and Leah are still here.
23:30All right, you want to do this last?
23:32You want to tighten these up?
23:33Yep.
23:34Miraculously, somehow, we're not the last team.
23:38Oh, son of a bitch.
23:40I am feeling really deflated in this moment and pray that our tuk-tuk's going to kick over
23:47and we can actually start moving.
23:49Oh, f***.
23:59Ties are all.
24:00On.
24:02Yeah, stop doing it, though.
24:04Cool.
24:04Go, go, go, go, go.
24:05Nice job, honey.
24:07Yep, mate.
24:10All right, let's go to T-T.
24:12Turn right.
24:13Yep.
24:14Nice, nice, nice, nice.
24:16Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
24:18No, that wasn't too bad at all, actually.
24:19No, it was fine.
24:20I honestly think that we can catch up.
24:23We're looking for the same...
24:23Hang on, hang on, hang on.
24:24Yeah.
24:25I feel like our tuk-tuk is a little bit...
24:37Rusty.
24:38You can only work with what we've got and you're doing great.
24:44That's where he set my spine.
24:59Which way?
25:01That way.
25:03Go down here.
25:04Are you ready to get your fire dance on?
25:06I'm ready to get my fire dance on.
25:08Our father, in his time in the National Service,
25:10obviously learnt how to swing the baton.
25:13And from time to time, he used to get up in the kitchen
25:16at our right beach house and kind of do the batons.
25:19So we think, I don't know, maybe let's go do some...
25:22what we thought might have been just a little bit of fire twirl.
25:28Oh, no.
25:31My knee is not going to go well with this one.
25:33Oh, yeah?
25:34We're in the poo.
25:36This is not my wheelhouse.
25:37I just didn't think it was going to be so choreographed,
25:40but we'll give it our best shot.
25:42We'll give it a go.
25:43Our heart is Stagg is laughing at us right now.
25:44Oh, yeah, big time.
25:45He'll be loving this.
25:47Do I look tough?
25:49One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
25:54One, two, three, four.
25:57The dance was very complicated.
26:00Yeah.
26:01Very involved.
26:01Four, five, six, seven, eight.
26:05So we're feeling a bit out of our dance.
26:07Okay.
26:08This is our dad in the kitchen at Rye showing us this exact thing, and we didn't pay attention.
26:17How are you going?
26:23Can you see the colours?
26:25I'm looking at the mask.
26:27I'm having some trouble.
26:28White, red, black, and I'm pretty badly coloured-blind.
26:32This is my face.
26:33The biggest challenge we have is that Epiphany's left-handed, and I'm right-handed.
26:42Excuse me, can you stop moving, please?
26:44Mum, I'm painting you, so when you move, I can't paint you.
26:48So this means that when we're painting, we're just in each other's way.
26:54I'm really trying to grab the moments between us each painting.
26:59So realistically, it takes us twice as long to do this.
27:03Just keep your eyes closed as long as you can.
27:05All right, Luke, you get the mask.
27:12All right.
27:13And I use what, the little brushes?
27:14Yep, come here.
27:15When I see it's a painting challenge, and I see what we have to do, I'm like, Scott, we
27:20can get in front of these teams.
27:21You just have to listen to me and trust me.
27:24My face is sweaty.
27:25Joking, that's industry.
27:25Try it here.
27:27Face on.
27:28Scott, I am also trying.
27:30Yeah?
27:31I'm looking around me, and the other teams are so far ahead of us, I know that I'm frustrated.
27:38I've got something on my head that weighs a ton, and Luke's sweat is annoying me.
27:44I need to see.
27:45Scott!
27:45I'm careful where you back the...
27:47Throw a **** around.
27:48Watch the **** tone.
27:50I'm like, this could be our unravelling right now.
27:55Three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
27:59Are you ass-pinning that while you're doing that?
28:00Go.
28:02All right, let's watch.
28:11It's a beautiful dance.
28:12Yeah.
28:13It's kind of a fast beat, but the movements are quite graceful and slow.
28:19And we get to play with fire.
28:20Love fire.
28:21We love to play with fire.
28:22You need to learn this dance like you've never learned a dance before.
28:25Oh, don't worry, honey.
28:26Growing up in New Zealand, we grew up taking, like, Māori classes.
28:29But you learn the language.
28:31You learn a lot of their dance and culture and history.
28:33A lot of New Zealanders know how to dance with the poi.
28:37Two, three, four.
28:40Sorry.
28:41And we meet here.
28:42Do not burn me on this challenge.
28:45Yes, true.
28:49Can I just go to your side for a second?
28:51You just stay, trust me.
28:53You done?
28:54No.
28:54How much longer?
28:55Ten more seconds.
28:56If it's under no pressure, stop sweating and breathe.
28:58I need you to stay still.
29:00So which one is it?
29:01Stay still.
29:01Am I painting you or you're painting me?
29:03Scott, you just...
29:03Into it, Scott.
29:06Literally, I just do a huge red line over everything.
29:10Right, let's grab a station, Mel.
29:12Okay, where's the mask?
29:14The mask is there.
29:16Looking at the mask that we need to model from, it's tremendously intricate.
29:20There's a lot of line work involved to really create expression on the face.
29:24You want to do the headdress first?
29:26Yep.
29:26So, yellow on the outside.
29:28Yep.
29:29Then the red goes over the top, the black goes over the top.
29:31Yep.
29:32I'm sweating a lot for this challenge.
29:33So, you need to pull your shit together, take your shirt off, whatever.
29:36Stop sweating.
29:37Turn towards bags.
29:38I need a freaking neck brace.
29:40Do you know how much this weighs?
29:41I'm about to pop.
29:44On social media, we share a big part of who we are, by the way we respond to each other.
29:49We respond very openly.
29:51That's our gift, but it's also, it's our kryptonite sometimes as well.
29:55This is how we work when we feel like we're behind.
29:58We bring it back together.
30:00Trust me.
30:01If we're calm, we'll get through this.
30:05There we go.
30:06There we go.
30:07Cool.
30:11Yep.
30:11And one, two, three, four.
30:16We're going to do great.
30:17There's a monkey out there.
30:18There's a monkey.
30:19There's a monkey.
30:20Oh, we've got an audience now, do we?
30:22Okay, let's go perform, baby.
30:23All right.
30:24Let's do it, baby.
30:25One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
30:32One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
30:38And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
30:45And bow, and bow.
30:46And bow, and bow.
30:55Okay, so I think what we did wrong is that we were slower than what his drum was, so we
30:59just need to be the same speed as his drum.
31:01So let's do that one more time, just faster, and then let's go try again.
31:04One, two, three, four, one, two.
31:08Three, four, one, two.
31:09Ah.
31:10Steve, just do it on your heels so you're not twisting it too much.
31:15It's okay with me.
31:16I've dislocated my knee twice in my life, and this is the move that will do it.
31:21Three, four.
31:23Four.
31:27Is that okay with your knee?
31:28Not really.
31:29Huh?
31:30What do you mean?
31:31It's just...
31:33You can feel when it wants to go.
31:36When it's...
31:37It's gonna go, even if you're doing, like, all these moves.
31:40If it's gonna go, then we'll just have to be conservative, I think.
31:44The taking a time penalty at this juncture could be curtains for us.
31:53So could we just go through those moves, can you play?
31:56Five, six, seven.
31:58Eight.
31:59Five, six, seven.
32:02Like this?
32:03We need to talk about this, dude.
32:05Okay.
32:06Yep.
32:07That twisting is gonna...
32:08I can't do that.
32:09Pop it straight out.
32:10I'll stuff it.
32:11If I go home after being on this race and tell my wife I'm just gonna spend the next two months on the couch...
32:18That's not gonna go well.
32:20I'm gonna have to take the own penalty, I'm sorry.
32:22Yeah?
32:23I'm sorry.
32:24Yeah.
32:25All right, guys, are you choosing to take the penalty?
32:28Yes, we're choosing to take the penalty, yeah.
32:31Rather than complete the challenge, Steve and Bernie have chosen to take a 30-minute penalty,
32:37which they'll serve immediately before rejoining the race.
32:40For something like this to happen where I just literally couldn't go on, I was... I was devastated.
32:45It had come so far.
32:47It felt like I had let us down.
32:50Okay, I need a bit more white, I have to do black after that, and then I'm done my bit.
33:00Hold your head up.
33:01I'm almost done, so if you can keep it up, we're good.
33:04Nearly done?
33:05I'm nearly done.
33:06Nearly done.
33:07I just need to do dots, and then I'm done.
33:08That's one of the dots.
33:10How much longer?
33:11You said a quarter a while ago.
33:12You're moving, Scotty.
33:13Why are you calling me Scotty?
33:15Because Scott's not working.
33:18I was a make-up artist many, many jobs ago.
33:23Do I think this helps?
33:25Not really.
33:26It's very difficult to translate a mask into a face,
33:30because physiologically it doesn't all translate,
33:33but I'm doing my very, very best.
33:35Okay, I think that's...
33:37Check, please.
33:38Hello.
33:39Hello, ready?
33:40What do you think of this mask?
33:45Not good.
33:46Okay.
33:47Maybe wipes around your eyes.
33:50Can we do a check?
33:51Check.
33:52Check.
33:53Do you want to put it on?
33:54Yep.
33:55Huh?
33:56Huh?
33:57Mouth, mouth.
33:58Okay.
33:59Apparently it's the teeth, so just do them.
34:00Detour decisions can make or break your survival in the race.
34:04And I've forgotten to put the teeth on.
34:06Yeah.
34:07You can't make these kind of mistakes,
34:08not at this point of the competition.
34:10I'm ready to do box breathing.
34:12I'm so glad we did this, Scott, over dancing.
34:15I cannot dance.
34:16Yeah, we know, Luke.
34:17Now that we've got a bit of a rhythm going here,
34:20I think we're both feeling a bit more calm.
34:23And I feel like speed is on our side again.
34:27You never know though.
34:29Aisha's got the moves.
34:31Okay, we can do this.
34:32We got this.
34:33We can do this.
34:34Just feel the rhythm, feel the beat.
34:36Five, six, seven, eight.
34:38One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
34:42Waiting out the penalty.
34:44Watching Scotty and Aisha dance.
34:45One.
34:46That feeling sucks, really.
34:47Five.
34:48You're watching the time tick down, and you're kind of seeing the race slip away from you,
34:53and there's nothing you can do about it.
34:56It's brutal.
34:57That timing was good.
35:02Oh, thank you.
35:03Did you get the impression we should have chosen the face painting?
35:17That's what I'm saying.
35:19Drive your tuk-tuk to the sacred Pidurangala ruins to find Bo at the next pit stop.
35:24Hurry the last he made.
35:25Be eliminated.
35:26We might be first.
35:27Let's go, let's go.
35:29Deep in this jungle are the ruins of the Pidurangala Buddhist monastery.
35:35Back in the 5th century AD, more than 500 meditating monks called this place home.
35:40Nowadays, it's a place of peace and tranquility.
35:44Welcome to the heart of the lost kingdom and the pit stop for the 9th leg of the Amazing Race Australia.
35:53Dude, I want to win.
35:54I want to win.
35:55All right, honey.
35:56Cool.
35:57All right, go, go, go, go.
35:58As long as we're a hit of the curry boys, I love those guys, but...
36:00I know.
36:01We're in it to win it.
36:02Dude, man.
36:03I want to win so badly.
36:05What's going on here?
36:06The traffic jam.
36:07Oh, you're joking.
36:09Can you beep?
36:10Can you beep?
36:11Try and go past.
36:12We're smaller, so we might let us.
36:15I am desperate to keep this lead.
36:18We need to get this truck to move to the side.
36:21Oh, man.
36:22I'm feeling a bit nervous now.
36:23Going in your nose.
36:24Oh, my God.
36:25Going in your nose.
36:26Oh, my God.
36:27Suck it up.
36:28Okay.
36:29Should we try again?
36:30Yeah.
36:31Check.
36:32What do you think, sir?
36:33Oh, okay.
36:34Thank you very much.
36:35All right.
36:36Let's do it.
36:37The only other thing could be that you do draw the teeth and the mouth on.
36:41I need to finish this head rest.
36:42Give me one second.
36:43And then I'll let you do your thing, okay?
36:44The pressure's really on.
36:45We can see it in everybody.
36:46Even the most composed people are going to be stressed out by this.
36:48Are you going just the right amount of detail or are you going overboard?
36:49Could you just let me do my thing, please?
36:50Nobody wants to be last in this competition.
36:51We're all very competitive people.
36:52We all like each other a lot, but nobody wants to be last.
36:53Is it on?
36:54Yeah.
36:55Are you sure?
36:56Yeah.
36:57Okay.
36:58Which is nice.
36:59Check, please.
37:00Hello.
37:01How do I look?
37:02Art.
37:03Oh, my God.
37:04Oh, my God.
37:05Oh, my God.
37:06Oh, my God.
37:07Oh, my God.
37:08Oh, my God.
37:09Oh, my God.
37:10Oh, my God.
37:11Oh, my God.
37:12Oh, my God.
37:13Oh, my God.
37:14Oh, my God.
37:15Oh, my God.
37:16Oh, my God.
37:17How do I look?
37:21Art.
37:22Stunen.
37:23No.
37:24What?
37:25Now.
37:26Draw the tongue down.
37:27Really?
37:28Yeah.
37:29Okay.
37:30Check.
37:31Check.
37:32Check.
37:34Yeah.
37:35Done it.
37:37Everyone's getting checked and we are not yet done.
37:39Yeah.
37:40All right.
37:41You ready?
37:42Yeah.
37:43I hope we're not last, but we're going to go.
37:44We look crazy.
37:47We look absolutely crazy.
37:50Let me get on the main road.
37:53All righty.
37:54Come and bake.
37:56Check.
37:57He's got that tongue now.
38:00Thank you so much.
38:02I've got paint all over me, so I wouldn't have heard.
38:04Enough of the chats.
38:05We'll see you at another time.
38:07Wipe your face.
38:08Wipe it.
38:08Now's the time.
38:10Oh, Scott.
38:11I'm going to just bawl my eyes out.
38:13All right, he's taking a slasher.
38:15Oh, nice.
38:16Nice, nice, nice.
38:17Try and go past.
38:19Oh, nice.
38:21Yes, yes, yes.
38:25Nice.
38:26Good one, honey.
38:26Good one.
38:27All right, honey, so we're turning right on the main road.
38:29Yep, so turn right.
38:31Turn right.
38:31Turn right.
38:33Good work.
38:34Florida ramp here.
38:36So turn right at the main road.
38:39You got it.
38:39You got it.
38:41All right, we're on the main road.
38:43We don't know how hard the fire thing was.
38:47I'm proud of you for keeping going, babe.
38:49So we just have to maintain this, hopefully.
38:52Oh, I'm getting nervous.
38:54The numbers are getting down.
38:56I'm not there to be in the middle anymore.
38:58My eyes are just right on the mat, and that's all that I'm thinking about right now.
39:03There's only enough room in this race for one power couple.
39:05Yeah, exactly.
39:06Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
39:08And that's us.
39:11Don't miss a moment of the action.
39:12With full episodes of the Amazing Race Celebrity Edition on 10.com.au.
39:19So do you live here?
39:25Yeah, I'm from Segidio.
39:26Beautiful.
39:27It's a great place.
39:29I want to come back.
39:30It's peaceful, hey?
39:32Get out of the way, doggers.
39:33Get out of the way.
39:34Get out of the way.
39:35Watch out, doggers.
39:36Oh, my God, come on, score.
39:38I really want to win.
39:39I'm giving her all she's got.
39:41Oh, my God.
39:43Sunny.
39:43How good are you, though?
39:44What have you done to my face?
39:46Beautiful.
39:47Okay.
39:49Here we come.
39:51Millsy and Georgia are in front of us.
39:53Yeah.
39:54But we know it's never how you start a race.
39:56It's always how you finish one.
39:58I see stuff to the right.
40:00You suppose?
40:01Yeah.
40:01Keep going.
40:02Trust me.
40:05Yeah.
40:06Right.
40:08Hey, do that while we're walking.
40:09All right, let's go.
40:10Let's go.
40:11Excuse me, sir.
40:12Excuse me, sir.
40:13Peter and Gala.
40:14You don't reckon...
40:14No.
40:15We've got to start a path.
40:16You don't reckon there's, like, an entry back there?
40:17We have to start a path.
40:18My backs.
40:19Oh, my God, flags.
40:22There, over there.
40:23Let's go.
40:24You can see the flags through here.
40:26His back!
40:28Oh, hang on.
40:29Is that a team?
40:30My eyes aren't great.
40:31Can you see it?
40:31Is that first team?
40:33Could be a Sasquatch.
40:35Oh, and...
40:38Woo!
40:39Welcome to Pidrangela.
40:41You look beautiful.
40:43Aisha and Scott, you are the first.
40:46Oh!
40:46Oh!
40:50Nice.
40:50Yeah!
40:51We gave it our everything today.
40:58You give it everything every day.
40:59We do, we do.
41:01But today was tough.
41:03It took a lot of energy, and we just would not give up.
41:07Arriving first.
41:08You should be proud.
41:08We're proud.
41:09Cheers, mate.
41:10Oh, man.
41:11We've gone into our chrysalis, we've had our metamorphosis, and now we are these savage butterflies.
41:18Beautiful and savage.
41:19Yes.
41:21They're coming, they're coming, they're coming.
41:22Hey, run, run, run, run, run.
41:24Hey, run, run, run, run.
41:27Yeah!
41:28Hey, Luke.
41:29Run, run, run.
41:30Oh, foot raised, foot raised.
41:31Oh.
41:32Come on.
41:33Go left, left, left, left.
41:34Come on, Luke.
41:36Get pushy.
41:36Let's go, Luke.
41:37You've got it.
41:37Come on, you can, you can.
41:38Come on.
41:40Are you nervous?
41:41A little, a little bit.
41:42Come on, Luke.
41:44No!
41:45No!
41:47Oh, baby, okay?
41:49Yeah.
41:49Are you sure?
41:50Yeah.
41:51Yeah.
41:52I'm okay.
41:53Give me a kiss.
41:54Don't worry, it's not like it's on TV.
41:57Luke, Sassy Scott, you are the second team to check in.
41:59No way!
42:00Making Rob and Georgie the third team to check in.
42:04Yes.
42:05Well done, guys.
42:06Well done.
42:07Well done.
42:08Amazing.
42:08Bye.
42:10I've seen many foot races on the Amazing Race Australia over the years.
42:14That was the closest I've ever seen.
42:16Super, super, super effort.
42:18Bring it in.
42:19Watch the shirt, the face.
42:22No, that's good for me.
42:23That's good for me.
42:24Good job.
42:25Good job.
42:25You look beautiful.
42:27Oh, is she talking to me or you?
42:30Well, what a day.
42:32Start in the middle.
42:33Go to the top.
42:33Yeah.
42:34Go straight back to the bottom.
42:35And now, time for me.
42:37Oh, I mean, look.
42:39Who knows what's happening.
42:41We press on.
42:43We can still win this.
42:45We can still lose it too.
42:46Yeah, we can lose it.
42:47Anyway.
42:47Well, we press on, right?
42:52Mum, you're being too perfect, I think.
42:54Just keep your mouth.
42:55Okay, let's go.
42:57Mm-hmm.
42:58Check.
42:58Oh, they're getting checked.
43:00They're getting checked.
43:05Yay.
43:08We are trying to haul us as quickly as possible.
43:11As everybody leaves, it's really hard not to get deflated
43:14because we know we're so far behind.
43:19Okay.
43:19All right.
43:20This is...
43:21Do you want to try?
43:22Yeah, let's go.
43:23Check.
43:24We do really want to win.
43:26We are fighting really hard for this.
43:27This is hard.
43:28But we don't know what's about to happen.
43:33Thank you so much.
43:34All right.
43:35Okay.
43:35All right.
43:38Okay, drive your tuk-tuk to the sacred Pinduodala ruins
43:41to find Bo at the next pit stop.
43:42All right, let's go.
43:44Here we go.
43:48Ah-ha.
43:49Hi, boy.
43:52All right, let's go.
43:53Don't stress.
43:54Don't stress.
43:55No big deal, right?
43:57No.
43:58My father has made the best practical joke in the history of time from beyond the grave.
44:03Yep.
44:03And who knows, he might just have another little joke in store for us.
44:07All right, let's get some positive vibes in here.
44:11Release the negatives.
44:13Bring on the positive.
44:14Woo!
44:15Anything could happen in that time, mate.
44:17Someone's tuk-tuk to break down, and that's wishful thinking.
44:21There's so many emotions going through my head, but I'm not ready to leave the race.
44:26The fire in our belly has been reignited after being extinguished at the fire challenge,
44:32and we are getting towards Bo as fast as we can.
44:35Let's just finish this race, and what will be, what will be.
44:38We squeezed every ounce of energy out of ourselves today, and it's time for one last boost.
44:45Hopefully, we get there in time, and we hit that mat, and we're not last.
44:50That's all we have to be.
44:52Okay, then it's time on there.
44:53It's not over till it's over.
45:00Watch out!
45:01The second turn on the left.
45:02Let's go, let's go.
45:03Get over until Bo says you have been eliminated.
45:06These are some bumpy roads.
45:14Just go.
45:18Ah!
45:20Oh, here we go.
45:27Welcome to Pidrangela.
45:30It's 13.
45:31Very much.
45:32Gretel and Epiphany, you are the fourth team to check in.
45:37Bring it in.
45:37I'd love to chat.
45:38Oh, my God.
45:39We celebrate.
45:40Head down that way.
45:43Thank you, Bo.
45:44Here we go.
45:45Come on, we can do this.
45:46Here we go.
45:47We're turning left here.
45:47Yeah, go left here.
45:49We feel as though we've kind of reconciled with the fact that we're probably going to be out of this race, but at the same time, there's a strange positivity.
45:56We're not going to give up.
45:58We're going to fight for the end.
45:59$100,000 for one in five.
46:01The charity supporting mental illness will be so important.
46:04And we want to win it for them.
46:06Right here.
46:07Great.
46:07We know that the last team will probably be eliminated today.
46:15We have to think about Origin, youth mental health, the work that they do to help families, to help the next generation.
46:23Origin are pioneers in mental health research when it comes to young adults and children and teens.
46:29Yep, left here.
46:31Good sighting.
46:32Go this way, Steve.
46:45Go, dude.
46:46Go, dude.
46:46Go, go.
46:46Wait, wait.
46:49We don't stop till we hit the map.
46:53Oh, dear.
46:54Hang on.
46:54I see flag over there, Ben.
46:56Here we go.
46:57Stephen and Bernie, you are the fifth team to check in.
47:15Oh, dear.
47:17We were certain we were cactus.
47:19Why?
47:21Because we were dancing, we had to take a time pass because when he wasn't up to it.
47:24Because I've dislocated it a number of times in my life and, you know, I just can't.
47:29I can't risk it.
47:31I can't risk it.
47:32So I just have to take a time penalty.
47:34You're still in it, mate.
47:35And you've got more in you.
47:36Yeah, I do.
47:37Beautiful, man.
47:37I don't go left or right.
47:38I'm sweet.
47:39It's quite hard to describe what the feeling is from reconciling yourself to the fact that you're probably going to be eliminated and we're going to be on a plane out of here.
47:47Yeah.
47:48To we are back in the race.
47:50Tomorrow is another day.
47:53Let's go.
47:53Come on.
47:54One last sprint.
48:01Hey, Bo.
48:02Mel, I'm Leah.
48:05You are the last team to check in.
48:08Yes.
48:09And unfortunately, girls, your time on the race is over.
48:13Not going to sugarcoat it.
48:14It absolutely sucks.
48:15It just goes to show you can have all the heart in the world and sometimes just the odds aren't in your favour.
48:20Doesn't mean we didn't give it every single ounce of energy that we had.
48:24We've all got that go-to person, Mel, right?
48:27We do.
48:27Yeah.
48:28Leah means the world to me.
48:30She is the person that grounds me.
48:32She's the person that has picked up the molecules of me at the worst times in my life and stuck me back together to form a human.
48:42If you can live this life having one friend like that, you are truly blessed.
48:48Well said.
48:49I'm sad that we're leaving, but we have done everything that we've set out to do.
48:55Bring it in.
48:56Expo.
48:59Nothing else happens in this year.
49:01This will have been a great year.
49:03Next time on The Amazing Race, Celebrity Edition.
49:08Fly to the incredible cultural melting pot of Taiwan!
49:14In the stunning island nation of Taiwan.
49:18Go, go, go, go, go.
49:19Our celebs experience its rich cultural heritage.
49:24And go back to the future.
49:27We're looking for a techno god.
49:30When they face off.
49:32We are game ready.
49:35In a brand new challenge.
49:37Get the balls out, get the balls out.
49:39Never seen.
49:40I've got a shield, I've got a shield.
49:41In race history.
49:43What even is this?
