00:00We'll go home.
00:02Stay still.
00:03Am I painting you or you're painting me?
00:04Scott, you just f***ing moved into it, Scott.
00:06This could be our unravelling right now.
00:12There's only enough room in this race for one power couple.
00:14And let's go!
00:30THE END
01:00Deep in the jungle of Sri Lanka is a lost kingdom,
01:09and at its heart is Sigiriya.
01:131,500 years ago, this region was the centre of power in all of Sri Lanka,
01:19a place where royalty rose, fell and faded away,
01:23a place of secrets, intrigue and forgotten arts.
01:26It's hard to believe that this was only rediscovered in the 1980s,
01:30but since then it has undergone a restoration of epic proportions.
01:35It's a citadel, truly fit for a king.
01:38And you know what they say, small throne, big kingdom.
01:42This is the lost kingdom of Sigiriya,
01:46and the setting for the ninth leg of the amazing race Australia.
01:49James will depart from the city of Colombo
01:54in the order they arrived at the last pit stop.
01:58Ripperita.
01:59Ruinbo.
02:01Races, it's time to explore a lost kingdom.
02:03Travel by rail.
02:04To the ancient fortress of Sigiriya.
02:06Climb to the summit.
02:07And find the throne of the lost king.
02:09When you arrive, your next clue awaits.
02:10Oh, jeez.
02:12By rail.
02:13The train will carry our teams north
02:16into the jungle of Sri Lanka to arrive at Sigiriya.
02:21Once there, they must climb Sigiriya Rock.
02:24At the top, next to the king's throne,
02:26they'll find their next clue.
02:29Excuse me.
02:29Do you know where the train station is?
02:31And then left.
02:33Left?
02:34Thank you so much.
02:36We'll go to the next left.
02:37Next left?
02:37Yeah.
02:38I'm feeling nervous because we're coming in first.
02:40We had a lot of fun last leg
02:42and I think that the fun led us to first.
02:45I love that this is the commute for the morning, babe.
02:48So I'm hoping that we can carry that into this leg.
02:52And she did it.
02:53Kuro Nagala.
02:55All right.
02:56Got this.
02:57Bang.
02:58You're guilty.
02:59This train is going to be so beautiful.
03:01I know.
03:02I can't wait.
03:03Watch it.
03:06I need to take a right here.
03:08This is very exciting.
03:09How fun.
03:11I wanted to go on a train in Sri Lanka.
03:14We are starting today in last place
03:17and you better believe that we aren't staying here.
03:20The strategy today, don't come last.
03:25Oh, was that our train?
03:27It might be.
03:29Well, let's hope that's not our train.
03:35Don't do that.
03:37Yay!
03:37Yay!
03:37Let's go.
03:39Go, beast mode.
03:40Go.
03:41Let's get on.
03:42Okay.
03:43Let's go.
03:49Hello.
03:50How are you?
03:52Okay.
03:52Very good.
03:53I love this.
03:54Your hand, no, your hand.
03:55Beautiful.
03:56Beautiful.
03:57The henna.
03:57Yeah, the henna.
03:59There are no doors.
04:00There's no doors.
04:01No doors on here.
04:02This will be the water.
04:03No, no, it's good.
04:04How wild.
04:05Beautiful daily commute.
04:07It's early in the morning.
04:08It's this hot.
04:09It's going to be a funky one.
04:11Yeah, yeah.
04:15Oh, this might be.
04:16Is this our train?
04:18This one?
04:20All right.
04:21All right, let's go.
04:23We missed the first train,
04:25so we have to get on the second train.
04:26That's okay.
04:28Any setback that we have at this point,
04:30we're using to fuel our fire.
04:33Are you on TikTok?
04:34Can I show you something?
04:35This is how we get followers.
04:40So we're at the port end now.
04:42Yeah.
04:42I have been very surprised
04:44that we can pull our ramshackle skills together
04:47and succeed in some of these tasks.
04:49That's been a big relief.
04:51This experience has been a really profound one
04:53to be able to share it with my brother
04:55because we live in different cities
04:57and to be able to have quality time together
05:00is fairly rare.
05:02We're both raising kids of our own
05:03and there's just something about this race
05:06and something about the experiences we're having
05:08and the people that we're meeting.
05:10I don't want to end.
05:17It's pretty nice.
05:19I'm just enjoying this breeze.
05:20Oh, I want to walk along the train track.
05:24We will.
05:26Now it's our way.
05:28Next up, calling gutter.
05:30Woo-hoo!
05:36Let's go, sisters, sisters.
05:39All right, okay.
05:43Focus.
05:45Here we go.
05:46The summit.
05:47Summit?
05:48Yep.
05:48Is that where we're headed?
05:49Yep.
05:50Oh, my God.
05:59Are you going up there?
06:00Yeah.
06:01Looks like it.
06:05Here we go.
06:06Here we go.
06:09Wow.
06:11Wow.
06:12Oh, shit.
06:13Look at me, let's kiss.
06:14Wow.
06:15Now, I have the knees of a 90-year-old
06:17and I'm thinking,
06:19oh, wicked.
06:21There are 5,000 steps.
06:24Real steep,
06:25all the way to the top.
06:26No good seats.
06:27No good seats.
06:31Killing it, honey.
06:34Well done, babe.
06:36Just keep pushing.
06:37One foot in front of the other.
06:39Get about halfway up.
06:40I'm struggling.
06:41I cannot get enough oxygen into my lungs.
06:44Babe, this is...
06:44It's so high.
06:46So I just keep getting hotter and hotter and hotter
06:48and more out of breath.
06:50Have you seen Mercy?
06:51Yeah.
06:52Like, has he, like, time out Mercy?
06:54Has he given Mercy?
06:58All right.
06:58All right, this is off, baby.
07:00All right.
07:01All right, where are the stairs?
07:05Bag drop.
07:05Bag drop, yes.
07:07One, two, three.
07:09Okay, we're fourth.
07:10King's throne.
07:11Surely the king's always at the top of something.
07:12Surely the king looks down upon his people.
07:14I'd rather be last in the morning
07:17and make it to the map not being last.
07:20Yep.
07:22Hello.
07:24Oh, f***.
07:28Okay, I'm going to need a really good massage after this.
07:32Oh, my gosh.
07:33Stairs are never-ending.
07:35That's not pleasure.
07:36That's not fun.
07:38Hikers, like, oh, they're like cyclists.
07:41Some of the worst people on the planet.
07:43How you doing, honey?
07:44All right.
07:44Yeah, good.
07:45Yeah.
07:45We go up a lot of hills for fun, especially Scott.
07:49And he will get up at about 4am
07:51and go and walk up a mountain fly off.
07:54Sometimes he'll do that twice
07:55and then go to a shift at work and do a 12-hour shift.
07:58Great way to spend your morning.
08:00All right.
08:00We've got to be close, eh?
08:03Well, my fear of heights just kicked in.
08:07Yay!
08:08This is ridiculous.
08:12What was that?
08:14Last push, babe.
08:16This is your last push.
08:17This is outstanding.
08:19We're on the summit.
08:20We are kings of the world.
08:22Keep going up.
08:23Better look at the king's throne.
08:25Where would the king's throne be?
08:27Right at the top.
08:28Cool.
08:29Because that's where the king would stand.
08:30I don't see a clue, babe.
08:31No?
08:34No.
08:34Wrong again, team maroon.
08:36Wrong again.
08:37Hey, baby, it's down here.
08:38Down this way?
08:39Yeah.
08:40Baby.
08:42I haven't seen a clue.
08:44Excuse me?
08:45Did you see the king's throne?
08:47No worries.
08:48Right.
08:50Have you seen something?
08:51No.
08:51What's that?
08:54Oh.
08:55Oh, my God.
08:58Go, go, go, go, go.
08:59Go, go, go.
09:01Go, go, go.
09:03Root info.
09:06In ancient times, snake charmers were also considered to be healers.
09:08I'll be honest with you.
09:10This is the craziest challenge I have ever seen in Amazing Race Australia history.
09:15Now, all the teams have to do is pull a token out of that basket.
09:20Problem is, there is a cobra in the basket with the token.
09:25It has fangs.
09:27This is real.
09:28Holy shit.
09:31While one team member plays a soothing tune to distract the cobra,
09:35the other person must find the courage to reach into the basket and retrieve the token.
09:40If they survive, they'll receive their next clue.
09:45Oh, yeah.
09:46Nah, nah, nah.
09:47Nah.
09:48Nah, good luck with that.
09:50I need new undies.
09:53Oh, my God.
09:53Hey.
09:54Oh, my God.
09:54I hate snakes.
09:55Snakes.
09:56I hate snakes.
09:56You hate snakes.
09:57But...
09:58I like them.
09:59Do you want to play the flute?
10:00Yeah.
10:00There we go.
10:01I think if we go to this, it might be just here, mate.
10:03This way.
10:04I think I may have just spotted something.
10:06Yeah, I think.
10:07There.
10:08Come on, here.
10:09Okay, let's go.
10:12Rude info.
10:13Scott, around this way?
10:14No, you can't.
10:15This way.
10:16Right there.
10:16Oh, man, we caught up to one of them.
10:17Good luck.
10:18All right, it's got to be at the rear of the top, eh?
10:23Where's the clue box?
10:25You reckon it's down there somewhere?
10:27Yeah.
10:27From here, you've got a vantage point.
10:29You can see where all the teams are.
10:30Let's just hang out here in the shade.
10:31Watch everybody.
10:32Yeah.
10:32There's no point walking around the whole bloody thing, getting tired, and then being
10:35on the opposite side where it could be.
10:37True.
10:38Follow me.
10:38Follow me.
10:40I'm running in baby bed.
10:41Yeah?
10:42Luke?
10:42Because I can see it.
10:44It's all looking.
10:44Yeah.
10:46Right here.
10:48Look, he's down here.
10:48They've got something.
10:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:49Go.
10:50Hide it.
10:51Hide it in your shorts.
10:52Going up my shirt.
10:53Go down.
10:53Go, go, go.
10:53Go, go.
10:53Go, go.
10:54Oh, man.
10:55Luke and Scott did find it first.
10:57Oh, boy, yes.
10:57Here it is.
10:57Ah, it's like a big seat, like the King's throne.
11:01Down here, Mel.
11:07Look together to charm a cobra out of its basket and retrieve a token for your next clue.
11:11Oh, snake charming.
11:13Yeah?
11:13All right, let's go.
11:18Looking for a snake charmer.
11:19Played recorder since I was in primary school.
11:21That's OK.
11:22I have complete faith.
11:26Just got to do it.
11:28Robert has a fear of three things in life, I would say.
11:32One, spiders.
11:34Two, being wet at any point.
11:37Don't like it.
11:37Hates being wet.
11:38Yeah.
11:38And three...
11:39Oh, my God.
11:40I can hear it hissing in there already.
11:41Can you see?
11:42Now.
11:42You can be all right?
11:43You can do it.
11:44I'll try and keep him this way, babe.
11:45You grab it.
11:46OK.
11:46But go slow.
11:47OK.
11:48Where is it?
11:50It's under his head.
11:50Oh, my gosh.
11:52Get down, Laura.
11:57Ah!
11:59Oh!
12:00Oh!
12:01Oh, he's loose!
12:03He's angry.
12:04Oh!
12:04Oh!
12:05Oh!
12:07OK.
12:08We've got it angry.
12:09We've got him angry.
12:10It was mad as a cut snake, except it was a full snake.
12:14Hang on.
12:14You get it.
12:15You get it.
12:15Get it.
12:15Get it.
12:16Get it.
12:17Oh, my gosh.
12:20Oh, we've got the mic!
12:22We've got the mic!
12:23Ah!
12:25We might not make it for the chance.
12:27Oh, Steve!
12:34Yeah, we'll be upright for you to get it.
12:36Go back.
12:37Thanks, we're calm.
12:38We're calm.
12:38We're calm?
12:40Hello?
12:40Putting your hand into a basket full of cobra is the most counterintuitive thing you can
12:47possibly do.
12:48Am I playing?
12:50You're grabbing?
12:51You're...
12:51You play.
12:52All right?
12:52You play, I'll grab.
12:53This is a real cobra, and he's going to play his little flute there, and I'm going to
12:58stick my hand into the basket.
13:04I'm thinking, I'm a dead man, but it's probably how I would have wanted to go.
13:08If there's any consolation, I would have sucked the poison out.
13:12Would you, though?
13:13No.
13:14Hello?
13:18How are you?
13:19Hello, sir.
13:21You can do this.
13:22Just pretend it's a puppy.
13:24Yeah.
13:25The snake had to be upright.
13:26That was part of the challenge.
13:28So I'm waving this lid around to hypnotise with a snake.
13:32Oh.
13:35So there's a station.
13:36When are you going to get that station over here?
13:37We grew up in New Zealand.
13:39We don't have snakes.
13:41So if you're playing the flute, you sit on that one.
13:43I'll play the flute, because I actually play the flute, but this is, oh, this is a recording.
13:48I've never seen a cobra before in my life.
13:50Wow.
13:51I really don't know what to expect.
13:54Look at that.
13:55It's impressive, though, isn't it?
13:56Come over here.
13:57Wow.
13:58For better or for worse, we're not really scared of snakes.
14:02What's your problem?
14:04Oh, well, you've got a tongue, so do I.
14:07I hear you've got a gift for us.
14:09Let's do this.
14:13Remember to move it around.
14:19I see the token.
14:21I'm very uncomfortable with this.
14:23Yeah, it's not okay.
14:24I'm uncomfortable for many reasons.
14:26One is I don't like the way Luke's moving.
14:29No, not forward and back.
14:31Not forward and back.
14:32Side to side.
14:34No, not you.
14:35The thing goes side to side.
14:36Just need it to stand up.
14:41Maybe lift it up a little bit more.
14:42Just trying to see where the token is.
14:45I can't see it.
14:46I'm really annoying this snake, and I'm making it attack what I'm holding.
14:51So basically I'm saying, attack me, not epiphany.
14:55Classic mother move.
14:56I was putting on a show.
15:01You got it, Mum.
15:03Got it, got it.
15:04Put it down, put it down.
15:06Well done, Ep.
15:08Well done.
15:09Yay, pinkies.
15:14Thank you so much, sir.
15:15That's amazing.
15:17Detour.
15:17Detour.
15:18Fire dance or fire master?
15:21A detour is a choice between two challenges, each with its own pros and cons.
15:27In this detour, teams must choose between fire dance or fire mask.
15:32In this challenge, teams will need to learn the art of zinny, facilla.
15:37Traditional fire dance that's, well, it's so hot right now.
15:41Teams must master the complex choreography, keeping strict time with the beat, then end
15:46the dance with a bang.
15:49Get it right, they'll receive an exclute.
15:51Get it wrong, and all this is very flammable.
15:56Blacked out for a bit of my life.
16:03In fire mask, teams will paint a traditional Raksha mask.
16:07It's believed to bless the wearer and ward off evil spirits.
16:10One team member must paint the intricate details of their partner's headdress, while having
16:16their own face painted.
16:18It's a memory challenge, but also tests communication skills and patience.
16:23Once the local artist is satisfied, they'll receive their next clue.
16:27Bye, mask.
16:28And just to keep them on their toes, they'll be self-driving tuk-tuks to their next location
16:36and for the remainder of this leg.
16:39There we are.
16:39Oh, that's my boot.
16:41Chuck it in the back.
16:44Okay, yep, I've got it.
16:45Off we go.
16:47Yeah!
16:48Yeah!
16:48Yeah!
16:48What a nightmare!
17:02I was keeping an eye on what everyone else was doing.
17:06Everyone's struggling.
17:10We just get ahead of them.
17:11We can get to the next challenge.
17:13All right, do you want to go?
17:14Yep.
17:16Yep, yep.
17:17Yep.
17:17Yep.
17:18Wait for the tough ride.
17:19You've got to wait.
17:20I think we were looking in the eyes of this cobra for about nine or ten months.
17:27Don't like that?
17:28Yeah.
17:31The cobra's demeanour, and we called him Gavin.
17:37Gavin's demeanour was fairly grumpy.
17:40And he was all over the top of the token.
17:43So I couldn't even see the token underneath this massive
17:47massive cobra.
17:49That's it, that's it, that's it.
18:01Sonny, here's how bright.
18:03There we go.
18:04Parts of the cake, parts of the cake, parts of the cake.
18:07We'll see that.
18:07Check, please.
18:16Check, please.
18:19Hello, sir.
18:20Hello, sir.
18:21Thank you so much.
18:22Thank you very much.
18:23Good Britwood chick.
18:25T2R.
18:26Fire dance or fire mask?
18:29Do you want to go fire mask?
18:30Yeah.
18:30Yeah?
18:31Yeah?
18:31Okay, dang it.
18:32Let's go.
18:33Yeah, I got it.
18:33Okay.
18:34Okay.
18:35Let's get out of here.
18:36Let's do it, babe.
18:37Remember the tuk-tuk?
18:38Yeah.
18:39You are one with the tuk-tuk.
18:42Ah!
18:44Hey!
18:45Oh, this is pretty safe.
18:47Yep.
18:47And we're driving the tuk-a-turkey.
18:50We've got to...
18:50Oh, babe, careful.
18:51Careful.
18:52Horse and cart, horse and cart.
18:53Okay.
18:54Okay.
18:54Ah!
18:55I want to say horse and cart.
18:56I mean horse and cart.
18:57Horse and cart!
18:58That is wild!
19:00Yeah, you navigate that.
19:01There's tuk-tuk coming straight at us.
19:03Oh, my God!
19:04Ah!
19:05Ah!
19:07And then...
19:09There's an elephant on the road!
19:11Oh, my God!
19:12Oh, my...
19:13Oh, my God!
19:14Oh, my God!
19:16You're not in Australia anymore
19:17when there are elephants on the road.
19:20You're giving way to elephants.
19:26Ah!
19:27No, thank you.
19:28Oh, my God!
19:30Maybe take something a bit more soothing
19:31than just that.
19:35The tuken's quite deep in there, isn't it?
19:38Look at the low over there!
19:39Over that way!
19:41Yep, yep, yep.
19:43Yep, yep, yep.
19:44Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
19:45We got the tuken.
19:46The tuken.
19:48Yeah.
19:50Amazing.
19:51Thank you so much.
19:53What have we got?
19:54Fire dance or fire mask?
19:55All right, let's do dance.
19:56Let's go.
19:57Steve up.
20:02For arriving last in the previous leg
20:04but not eliminated,
20:05your tuk-tuk needs some repairs
20:06before you can continue.
20:07Okay.
20:08Oh, look, it's flat.
20:09We need a...
20:10Oh, man, is it just that one?
20:11Yes, sir.
20:11What's this, Edith?
20:15Yeah.
20:16Well done, team!
20:22All right, ready?
20:24Yeah.
20:24Okay, let's get up.
20:26Okay.
20:26Okay.
20:29Okay.
20:30Now, which mask are we doing?
20:33There's the mask.
20:34I paint your face while I'm wearing this.
20:36Yeah.
20:36You paint this.
20:38Can I paint it yellow and then put red on top?
20:40Yes.
20:41Just keep it separate.
20:43Mum is not just the host of Big Brother.
20:46I'm an artist.
20:47You know, I know how to paint.
20:49Excuse me.
20:50Just...
20:51Hello.
20:52How are you?
20:53Hi.
20:54Hi, guys.
20:57Yellow?
20:58I'm going to paint your face red.
20:59Ready?
20:59Yep.
21:00Just tell you what you need.
21:02You just paint.
21:03Get it on you.
21:05Get it all on you.
21:06I'm so nervous
21:07with just how finicky this is.
21:09The detail.
21:10How time-consuming this is.
21:12Time.
21:12It's really not easy.
21:14I'm going to say.
21:15I need you to close your eyes for a second.
21:18Whoop.
21:19Whoop.
21:19Whoop.
21:22Yep.
21:22Looking great, babe.
21:27Don't tap it.
21:28Don't know it.
21:28It's got a movement.
21:29It'll stand up.
21:30It'll come up.
21:31Stop.
21:31There's definitely, I think, a bit of stress
21:34where we are in the pack.
21:37Focus it on that.
21:40Keep it there.
21:44Got it.
21:47Go, Scott.
21:48Look at the token of the snake.
21:51I need you to go in a bit more.
21:53Go.
21:53Stay right there.
21:54Oh, my God.
21:54Go.
21:56Go, Scott.
22:01Get me out of here.
22:05Thank you so much.
22:07Fire mask.
22:08What do you think?
22:09Fire mask.
22:09Okay, let's go.
22:10Thanks, buddy.
22:11See you later.
22:12See you later.
22:13Detail.
22:14Fire mask.
22:14Fire mask.
22:15Come on, let's go.
22:19That's already pretty much there.
22:20Yeah?
22:21Even though we get the speed bump, we're really determined to not be last.
22:29Here we go, Mel.
22:30Me driving a tuk-tuk.
22:32Okay, please let me give you reasons to give you five stars.
22:35All right, you ready?
22:36Yeah.
22:36Time break off.
22:46Are you checked all those things?
22:47Yeah, it's all neutral.
22:48It's just not ticking over.
22:50We need to get on the rope.
22:52All right.
22:53Ties are all on.
22:56Oh, come on.
22:57I mean, honey, that didn't get us back that bad.
22:59Look, Mel and Leah are still here.
23:00All right, you want to know how to do the last?
23:01You want to know how to tie these up?
23:02Yep, miraculously, somehow, we're not the last team.
23:08Ah, son of a bitch.
23:10I am feeling really deflated in this moment and pray that our tuk-tuk's going to kick over
23:17and we can actually start moving.
23:28Ties are all on.
23:31Yeah, it's not doing it, though.
23:34Go, go, go, go, go, go.
23:35Nice job, nice job, honey.
23:37Yeah, me.
23:40All right, let's go to T.
23:42Turn right.
23:43Yeah.
23:44Nice, nice, nice, nice.
23:46Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
23:48No, that wasn't too bad at all, actually.
23:49No, it was fine.
23:50I honestly think that we can catch up.
23:52We're looking for the station.
23:53Hang on, hang on, hang on.
23:54Yeah.
23:57It's your handspot.
23:59Just pass.
23:59I feel like our tuk-tuk is a little bit rusting.
24:11We can only work with what we've got and you're doing great.
24:15Oh, we're sick.
24:16Oh, that's where he sent my phone.
24:21Which way?
24:31No way.
24:32Let's go down here.
24:33But you're ready to get your fire dance on.
24:36I'm ready to get my fire dance on.
24:38Our father, in his time at the National Service, obviously learnt how to swing the baton.
24:43And from time to time, he used to get up in the kitchen at our right bench house and kind
24:48of do the batons.
24:49So we think, maybe let's go do some, what we thought might have been just a little bit
24:53of fire to her.
24:58Oh, no.
25:01My knee is not going to go well with this.
25:03Oh, yeah?
25:04We're in the poo.
25:06It's not my wheelhouse.
25:07I didn't think it was going to be so choreographed, but we'll give it our best shot.
25:11We'll give it a go.
25:12How hard is Stagg is laughing at us right now?
25:14Oh, yeah, big time.
25:15He'll be loving this.
25:17Go look tough.
25:19One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
25:24One, two, three, four.
25:27The dance was very complicated.
25:30Yeah.
25:30Very involved.
25:31Four, five, six, seven, eight.
25:35So we're feeling a bit out of our dance.
25:37Okay.
25:38This is our dad in the kitchen at right showing us this exact thing, and we didn't pay attention.
25:52How are you going?
25:53Can you see the colours?
25:54I'm looking at the mask.
25:57I'm having some trouble.
25:58White, red, black.
26:00Pretty badly coloured line.
26:02This is black.
26:03Than this.
26:04Black.
26:05That is black, yeah.
26:06Can I go?
26:06Yeah.
26:07Stop.
26:08The biggest challenge we have is that Epiphany's left-handed, and I'm right-handed.
26:12Excuse me, can you stop moving, please?
26:14Mum, I'm painting you, but when you move...
26:17I can't thank you.
26:18So this means that when we're painting, we're just in each other's way.
26:24I'm really trying to grab the moments between us each painting.
26:29So realistically, it takes us twice as long to do this.
26:33Just keep your eyes closed as long as you can.
26:35All right, Luke, you get the mask.
26:42All right.
26:43And I use what?
26:43The little brushes?
26:44Yep.
26:44Come here.
26:44When I see it's a painting challenge and I see what we have to do, I'm like, Scott, we
26:50can get in front of these teams.
26:51You just have to listen to me and trust me.
26:53My face is sweaty.
26:55Do you reckon that's an issue?
26:55Try it here.
26:57Face on.
26:58Scott?
26:59I am also trying.
27:00Yeah?
27:01I'm looking around me, and the other teams are so far ahead of us.
27:06I know that I'm frustrated.
27:08I've got something on my head that weighs a ton, and Luke's sweat is annoying me.
27:14I need to think so.
27:15Scott!
27:15I'm careful where you back the **** around.
27:18What ****?
27:19Sorry.
27:20I'm like, this could be our unravelling right now.
27:24Three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
27:29Are you ass pitting that while you're doing that?
27:31All right, let's watch.
27:33It's a beautiful dance.
27:42Yeah.
27:42It's kind of a fast beat, but the movements are quite graceful and slow.
27:49And we get to play with fire.
27:50I love fire.
27:51We love to play with fire.
27:52You need to learn this dance like you've never learned a dance before.
27:55Oh, don't worry, honey.
27:56Growing up in New Zealand, we grew up taking, like, Maori classes, where you learn the language,
28:00you learn a lot of your dance and culture and history.
28:03A lot of New Zealanders know how to, uh, dance with the poi.
28:06Two, three, four.
28:10Sorry.
28:10So we're both meeting you.
28:11And we meet here.
28:12Oh, you!
28:13Do not, do not burn me on this challenge.
28:15Yes, true.
28:19Can I just go to your side for a second?
28:20You just stay trusting.
28:23You done?
28:23No.
28:24How much longer?
28:25Um, ten more seconds.
28:26If it's under no pressure.
28:27Stop sweating and breathe.
28:28I need you to stay still.
28:30So which one is it?
28:31Stay still.
28:31Am I painting you or you're painting me?
28:32Scott, you just f*** into it, Scott.
28:36Literally, I just did a huge red line over everything.
28:40Right, let's grab a station, Mel.
28:42Okay, where's the mask?
28:44The mask is there.
28:45Looking at the mask that we need to model from, it's tremendously intricate.
28:49There's a lot of line work involved to really create expression on the face.
28:54Do you want to do the headdress there?
28:55Yeah.
28:56So, yellow on the outside.
28:58Yeah.
28:58Then the red goes over the top, the black goes over the top.
29:01Yep.
29:01I'm sweating a lot.
29:02I'm sweating a lot for this challenge.
29:03So, you need to pull your shit together, take your shirt off, whatever, stop sweating.
29:07I need a freaking neck brace.
29:10Do you know how much this weighs?
29:11I'm about to f***ing pop.
29:12On social media, we share a big part of who we are by the way we respond to each other.
29:19We respond very openly.
29:21That's our gift, but it's also, it's our kryptonite sometimes as well.
29:25This is how we work when we feel like we're behind.
29:28We bring it back together.
29:30Trust me.
29:30If we're calm, we'll get through this.
29:34Here we go, boo.
29:36Here we go, ah, boo.
29:39Cool.
29:40And one, two, three, four.
29:46We're going to do great.
29:47There's a monkey out there.
29:48There's a monkey.
29:49Oh, we've got an audience now, do we?
29:51Okay, let's go perform, baby.
29:52All right.
29:54Let's do it, baby.
29:57One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
30:02One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
30:08And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
30:15And bow, and bow.
30:23No!
30:23Okay, so I think what we did wrong is that we were slower than what his drum was, so we
30:29just need to be the better than his drum.
30:31So let's do that one more time just faster, and then let's go try again.
30:34One, two, three, four, one, six.
30:42Steve, just do it on your heels so you're not twisting it too much.
30:45See, I've just taken my knee twice in my life, and this is the move that will do it.
30:51Three, four.
30:56Is that okay with your knee?
30:58Not very.
30:59Huh?
31:00What do you mean?
31:00It's just, you can feel when it wants to go.
31:05When it's going to go.
31:06If it's going to go, even if you're doing, like, all these moves, if it's going to go,
31:11then we'll just have to be conservative, I think.
31:14The taking a time penalty at this juncture could be curtains for us.
31:22So could we just go through those moves, please?
31:24Five, six, seven, eight.
31:29Five, six, seven.
31:31Like this.
31:33We need to talk about this, dude.
31:34Okay.
31:35Yeah.
31:35That twisting is going to...
31:37I can't do it.
31:38Pop it straight out.
31:39I'll stuff it.
31:40If I go home, after being on this race, and tell my wife I'm just going to spend the next
31:45two months on the couch, that's not going to get going, Will.
31:50I'm going to have to take the penalty.
31:51I'm sorry.
31:52Yeah?
31:52I'm sorry.
31:53Yeah.
31:53It's good.
31:55All right, guys.
31:56Are you choosing to take the penalty?
31:58Yes.
31:59We're choosing to take the penalty.
32:00Yeah.
32:01Rather than complete the challenge, Steve and Bernie have chosen to take a 30-minute penalty,
32:06which they'll serve immediately before rejoining the race.
32:09For something like this to happen where I just literally couldn't go on, I was devastated.
32:14It's come so far.
32:16It felt like I had lettuce down.
32:23Okay.
32:24I need a bit more white.
32:25I have to do black after that, and then I'm done my bit.
32:29Hold your head up.
32:31I'm almost done, so if you can keep it up, we're good.
32:34Nearly done?
32:34I'm nearly done.
32:36I just need to do the dots, and then I'm done.
32:38That's what I'm done.
32:40How much longer?
32:41You said a quarter a while ago.
32:42You're moving, Scotty.
32:43Why are you calling me Scotty?
32:44Because Scot's not working.
32:47I was a makeup artist many, many jobs ago.
32:52Do I think this helps?
32:54Not really.
32:56It's very difficult to translate a mask into a face, because physiologically it doesn't
33:01all translate.
33:02But I'm doing my very, very best.
33:05Okay, I think that's okay.
33:07Check, please.
33:08Hello.
33:09Hello, ready?
33:09What do you think of this mask?
33:14Not good.
33:15Okay.
33:16Okay.
33:17Maybe whites around your eyes.
33:20Okay.
33:20Do you want to check?
33:21Check.
33:21Check.
33:22Do you want to put her on?
33:22Yep.
33:25Huh?
33:25Huh?
33:26Okay.
33:27Try not to see it, so just do them.
33:29Detour decisions can make or break your survival in the race.
33:34And I've forgotten to put the teeth on.
33:36You can't make these kind of mistakes, not at this point of the competition.
33:40I'm going to do box breathing.
33:42I'm so glad we did this, Scott, over dancing.
33:45I cannot dance.
33:46Yeah, we know, Luke.
33:47Now that we've got a bit of a rhythm going here, I think we're both feeling a bit more
33:51calm, and I feel like speed is on our side again.
33:57You never know, though.
33:58Aisha's got the moves.
34:01Okay, we can do this.
34:02We can do this.
34:03Just feel the rhythm, feel the beat.
34:05Five, six, seven, eight.
34:07One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
34:12Waiting at the penalty, watching Scotty and Aisha dance.
34:15That feeling sucks, really.
34:17You're watching the time tick down, and you're kind of seeing the race slip away from you,
34:23and there's nothing you can do about it.
34:26It's brutal.
34:30Their timing was good.
34:37Oh, thank you!
34:41Do you ever get the impression we should have chosen the face painting?
34:46Sometimes.
34:48Drive your tuk-tuk to the sacred Pidurangala ruins to find Bo at the next pit stop.
34:53Hurry, the last he may be eliminated.
34:55We might be first!
34:55Let's go, let's go.
34:59Deep in this jungle are the ruins of the Pidurangala Buddhist monastery.
35:03Back in the 5th century AD, more than 500 meditating monks called this place home.
35:10Nowadays, it's a place of peace and tranquility.
35:13Welcome to the heart of the lost kingdom, and the pit stop for the ninth leg of the amazing
35:19race Australia.
35:19Dude, I want to win, I want to win.
35:24Alright, honey, cool.
35:25Alright, go, go, go, go, go.
35:26As long as we're ahead of the curry boys, I love those guys, but...
35:29I know.
35:30We're in it to win it.
35:31Dude, man, I want to win so badly.
35:34What's going on here?
35:35Traffic jam.
35:36Oh, you're joking.
35:38Can you beep?
35:39Can you beep?
35:39Try and go past.
35:40But we're smaller, so we might let us.
35:45I am desperate to keep this lead.
35:48We need to get the truck to move to the side.
35:51Oh, man, I'm feeling a bit nervous now.
35:57Going in your nose.
35:58Oh, my God.
35:59Going in your nose.
35:59Oh, my God.
36:01Suck it up.
36:03Okay, shall we try again?
36:04Yep, check.
36:06What do you think, sir?
36:10Oh, okay.
36:11Okay, thank you very much.
36:12Alright, do it.
36:14The only other thing could be that you do draw the teeth and the mouth on.
36:18I need to finish this headrest.
36:19Give me one second, and then I'll let you do your thing, okay?
36:22The pressure's really on.
36:23We can see it in everybody.
36:24The most composed people are going to be stressed out by this.
36:28Are you going just the right amount of detail, or are you going overboard?
36:31Could you just let me do my thing, please?
36:33Nobody wants to be last in this competition.
36:35We're all very competitive people.
36:37We all like each other a lot, but nobody wants to be last.
36:40Is it on?
36:41Yeah.
36:41Are you sure?
36:42Yeah.
36:43This is nice.
36:44Check, please.
36:45Hello.
36:46Here's how I look.
36:47Art.
36:48Stunning.
36:49No.
36:50What?
36:51Now.
36:52Calm down.
36:53Really?
36:55Check.
36:55Check.
36:56Check.
36:56Check.
36:57Check.
36:58Check.
36:59Check.
37:00Check.
37:01Check.
37:02Check.
37:03Check.
37:04Check.
37:05Check.
37:06Everyone's getting checked, and we're not yet done.
37:09Yep.
37:10Are you ready?
37:11Yeah.
37:12I hope we're not last, but we've got to go.
37:14We look...
37:15...crazy.
37:16We look absolutely crazy.
37:17Oh!
37:18Let me get on the main road.
37:19Alrighty.
37:20Time I'm back.
37:21Check.
37:22Check.
37:23Check.
37:24He's got that tug now.
37:26Yay!
37:27Thank you so much.
37:28I've got paint all over me, so I wouldn't hide.
37:29Now for the chat.
37:31Wipe your face.
37:32Wipe it.
37:33Now's the time.
37:34Oh, Scott.
37:35I'm going to just bawl my eyes out.
37:36Nice thing I saw you.
37:37Oh, nice.
37:38Nice, nice, nice.
37:39Try and go past.
37:41Oh, Scott.
37:42I'm going to just bawl my eyes out.
37:44Nice thing I saw you.
37:45Oh, nice.
37:46Nice, nice, nice.
37:47Try and go past.
37:48Oh, nice.
37:49Yes, yes, yes.
37:53Nice.
37:54Good one, honey.
37:55Good one.
37:56Alright, so we're turning right on the main road.
37:58Yep, so turn right.
37:59Turn right.
38:00Turn right.
38:01Turn right.
38:02Good way.
38:03Glow it around here.
38:05So turn right at the main road.
38:07You got it.
38:08You got it.
38:11Alright, babe, we're on the main road.
38:12We don't know how hard the fire thing was.
38:15I'm proud of you for keeping going, babe.
38:17So we just have to maintain this, hopefully.
38:20Oh, I'm getting nervous.
38:22The numbers are getting down.
38:24I'm not there to be in the middle anymore.
38:26My eyes are just right on the mat, and that's all that I'm thinking about right now.
38:31There's only enough room in this race to one power couple.
38:34Yeah, exactly!
38:36Ha, ha, ha, ha!
38:37And let us!
38:40Don't miss a moment of the action.
38:44With full episodes of the Amazing Race Celebrity Edition on 10.com.au.
38:49So do you live here?
38:50Yeah.
38:51I promise I get here.
38:52Beautiful.
38:53It's a great place.
38:55I want to come back.
38:56It's peaceful, hey?
38:57Get out of the way, doggers!
38:58Get out of the way!
38:59Get out of the way!
39:00Get out of the way!
39:01Watch out, doggers!
39:02Oh, my God!
39:03Come on, stop!
39:04I really want to win!
39:05I'm giving her all she's got!
39:06Oh, my God!
39:07I'm giving her all she's got!
39:08Oh, my God!
39:09Oh, my God!
39:10Oh, my God!
39:11Sunny!
39:12How big are you, though?
39:13What am I putting down to my face?
39:14Yes, you're winning!
39:15Okay!
39:16Here we come!
39:18Milsie and George are in front of us.
39:21Yeah.
39:22But we know it's never how you start a race, it's always how you finish one.
39:26I see stuff to the ground.
39:28Do you stop both?
39:29Yeah.
39:30Keep going.
39:31Trust me.
39:32Yep.
39:33Great.
39:34Hey, let's do that while we're walking.
39:35Alright, let's go.
39:36Let's go.
39:37Is it back there?
39:38Is it back there?
39:39Is it back there?
39:40Is it back there?
39:41Is it back there?
39:42Is it back there?
39:43Is it back there?
39:44Is it back there?
39:45You don't reckon there's like an injury back there?
39:46We have to stay on the path.
39:47My back.
39:48Oh, my God!
39:49Flags!
39:50Let's go.
39:51Let's go.
39:52You can see the flags through here.
39:53It's back!
39:54Hang on, is that a team?
39:55My eyes aren't great.
39:56Can you see it?
39:57Is that for a steam ball?
39:58Could be it.
39:59It's a square.
40:00It's a square.
40:01It's a square.
40:02Could be a Sasquatch.
40:04Oh!
40:05And...
40:06Woo!
40:07Welcome to Fidrangela.
40:10You look beautiful.
40:11Aisha and Scott, you are the first.
40:15No!
40:16No!
40:17No!
40:18No!
40:19No!
40:20No!
40:21No!
40:22No!
40:23No!
40:24We gave it our everything today.
40:26Yeah.
40:27You give it everything every day.
40:28We do, we do.
40:29But today was tough.
40:31It took a lot of energy and we just would not give up.
40:35Arriving first.
40:36You should be proud.
40:37We're proud.
40:38Cheers, mate.
40:39Oh, man.
40:40We've gone into our chrysalis.
40:42We've had our metamorphosis.
40:44And now we are these savage butterflies.
40:47Beautiful and savage.
40:48Yes.
40:49They're coming!
40:50They're coming!
40:51They're coming!
40:52They're coming!
40:53He-he-he-he-he!
40:54Run, run, run!
40:55Yeah!
40:56Hi, Luke.
40:57Run, run!
40:58Run, run, run!
40:59Oh, foot race!
41:00Foot race!
41:01Oh!
41:02Come on!
41:03Go, left, look, left, look!
41:04Come on, Luke!
41:05Let's go, Luke!
41:06You've got it!
41:07Come on!
41:08Come on!
41:09Are you nervous?
41:10Give me a little bit.
41:12Come on, look.
41:17Oh, baby, okay?
41:18Yeah.
41:18Are you sure?
41:19Yeah.
41:20Yeah.
41:21I'm okay.
41:22Give me a kiss.
41:23Don't worry.
41:24It's not like it's on TV.
41:26Luke, Sassy Scott, you are the second team to check.
41:29No way!
41:30Making Rob and Georgie the third team to check.
41:34Yeah.
41:35Well done, guys.
41:36Well done.
41:36Well done.
41:37Amazing.
41:39Well done, babe.
41:40I've seen many foot races on the Amazing Race Australia over the years.
41:44That was the closest I've ever seen.
41:46Super, super, super effort.
41:48Bring it in.
41:48Watch the shirt, the face.
41:51No, that's good for me.
41:52That's good for me.
41:53Good job.
41:54Good job.
41:54It's beautiful.
41:57Oh, is she talking to me or you?
41:59Well, what a day.
42:01Start in the middle.
42:02Go to the top.
42:03Yeah.
42:03Go straight back to the bottom.
42:05And now, time for the day.
42:07Oh, I mean, look.
42:08Who knows what's happening?
42:09We press on.
42:12We can.
42:13We can still win this.
42:14We can still lose it, too.
42:15Yeah, we can lose it.
42:16Anyway, well...
42:17We press on, right?
42:21Mum, you're being too perfect, I think.
42:23Just keep your mouth.
42:26Okay, let's go.
42:27Mm-hmm.
42:27Check.
42:28Oh, are they getting checked?
42:29They're getting checked.
42:30Yes.
42:30Yay.
42:35Yay.
42:37We are trying to haul us as quickly as possible.
42:41As everybody leaves, it's really hard not to get deflated because we know we're so far behind.
42:48Okay.
42:49All right.
42:49Let's just...
42:50Do you want to try?
42:51Yep.
42:51Let's go.
42:52Check.
42:53We do really want to win.
42:55We are fighting really hard, but this is hard.
42:58But we don't know what's about to happen.
43:03Thank you so much.
43:04Okay.
43:04All right.
43:07Okay.
43:08Drive your tuk-tuk to the sacred Pinduodala Ruins to find Bo at the next pit stop.
43:12All right.
43:12Let's go.
43:13Here we go.
43:17Ah.
43:18There you go, boy.
43:21All right.
43:22Let's go.
43:23Don't stress.
43:24Don't stress.
43:24No big deal, right?
43:27My father has made the best practical joke in the history of time from beyond the grave.
43:32Yep.
43:32And who knows?
43:34He might just have another little joke in store for us.
43:37All right.
43:37Let's get some positive vibes in here.
43:40Release the negatives.
43:42Bring on the positives.
43:43Woo!
43:44Anything could happen in that time, mate.
43:47Someone's tuk-tuk to break down.
43:49And that's wishful thinking.
43:51There's so many emotions going through my head, but I'm not ready to leave the race.
43:55The fire in our belly has been reignited after being extinguished at the fire challenge.
44:01And we are getting towards Beau as fast as we can.
44:04Let's just finish this race and what will be, what will be.
44:07We squeezed every ounce of energy out of ourselves today.
44:11And it's time for one last boost.
44:14Hopefully, we get there in time, and we hit that mat, and we're not last.
44:20That's all we have to be.
44:21Okay, then it's time, mate.
44:23It's not over till it's over.
44:29Watch out!
44:30The second turn on the left.
44:32Let's go, let's go.
44:33Let's go.
44:33It's over until Beau says you have been eliminated.
44:36These are some bouncing ropes.
44:43Here, just...
44:45My dear, come with me.
44:51Oh, here we go.
44:52Welcome to Fidurangala.
44:59It's good to see you very much.
45:02Gretel and Epiphany, you are the fourth team to check in.
45:06Bring it in.
45:07I'd love to chat.
45:07Come on, sir.
45:09We'll celebrate.
45:09Thank you, Beau.
45:11Head down that way.
45:12Thank you, Beau.
45:14Here we go.
45:14Come on, we're going to do this.
45:15Here we go.
45:16We're turning left here.
45:17Oh, yeah, go left here.
45:19We feel as though we've kind of reconciled with the fact
45:21that we're probably going to be out of this race,
45:24but at the same time, there's a strange positivity.
45:26We're not going to give up.
45:27We're going to fight for the end.
45:28$100,000 for one in five,
45:30the charity supporting mental illness,
45:32will be so important,
45:34and we want to win it for them.
45:35Right here.
45:36Great.
45:39We know that the last team will probably be eliminated today.
45:44We have to think about origin,
45:46in mental health,
45:47the work that they do to help families,
45:50to help the next generation.
45:52Origin are pioneers in mental health research
45:54when it comes to young adults and children and teens.
45:58Yep, left here.
46:00Good sighting.
46:01Go this way, Steve.
46:14Go, dude, go, dude, go, go.
46:16Go, go, go.
46:19We don't stop until we hear from that.
46:23Oh, there.
46:23Hang on.
46:23I see a flag over there, Ben.
46:26Here we go.
46:26You all right?
46:30Yeah, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go.
46:31All right.
46:32All right.
46:33We got it.
46:33What?
46:36Stephen and Bernie,
46:38you are the fifth team to check in.
46:40Oh, my God.
46:44Oh, dear.
46:46We were certain we were cactus.
46:48Why?
46:48Because in the dancing,
46:51we had to take a time pass
46:52when he wasn't up to it.
46:54I've dislocated it a number of times in my life
46:56and I just can't, I can't risk it.
47:00I can't risk it.
47:01So I just had to take a time penalty.
47:03You're still in it, mate,
47:04and you've got more in you.
47:05Yeah, I do.
47:06Beautiful, man.
47:06I'm trying to go left or right.
47:07I'm sweet.
47:08It's quite hard to describe what the feeling is
47:12from reconciling yourself to the fact
47:13that you're probably going to be eliminated
47:15and we're going to be on a plane out of here
47:17to we are back in the race.
47:19Tomorrow is another day.
47:22Let's go.
47:23Come on.
47:25One last sprint.
47:30Hey, boy.
47:32Mel, I'm Leah.
47:34You are the last team to check in.
47:37Yes.
47:38And unfortunately, girls,
47:39your time on the race is over.
47:42Not going to sugarcoat it.
47:43It absolutely sucks.
47:44It just goes to show
47:46you can have all the heart in the world
47:47and sometimes just the odds aren't in your favour.
47:50Doesn't mean we didn't give it
47:51every single ounce of energy that we had.
47:54We've all got that go-to person, Mel, right?
47:56We do.
47:57Yeah.
47:57Leah means the world to me.
47:59She is the person that grounds me.
48:03She's the person that has picked up the molecules of me
48:06at the worst of the worst times in my life
48:09and stuck me back together to form a human.
48:13If you can live this life having one friend like that,
48:16you are truly blessed.
48:17I'm sad that we're leaving,
48:20but we have done everything that we've set out to do.
48:24Bring it in.
48:25Thanks, brother.
48:28Nothing else happens in this year.
48:30This will have been a great year.
48:32Next time on the Amazing Race Celebrity Edition.
48:37Fly to the incredible cultural melting pot of Taiwan.
48:43In the stunning island nation of Taiwan.

48:48Now celebs experience its rich cultural heritage.
48:54And go back to the future.
48:57We're looking for a techno god.
