Previously on The Amazing Race...

Ten teams began a Mega Leg

in Bologna, Italy.

Two Detours, two Roadblocks, two cities.

Claire struggled...

I'm trying to figure out how this tool works.

...while Linton and Sharik were puzzled.

We don't have any science background

at all.

Emily and Molly couldn't get it into gear.

I'm so frazzled right now. What am I doing wrong?

But Emily's Roadblock skills revved them up.

- Yes. - Yes!

Rich and Dom...

- Oh, my God. - ...and Glenda and Lumumba...

Trying to make up the time we lost, babe.

...faced tough problems,

which left the newlyweds alone in last place.

We got to move fast.

Still with me, babe? I'm still with you, babe.

Even though we were so far behind everybody,

I was confident in my husband's skills.

-Do it right, then do it fast. -Check.

Got you.

Hallelujah. Got you, baby.

- It's says... - "The Mega Leg continues."

Hallelujah!

"Drive to the city of Florence

and find Villa Bardini for your next Roadblock clue."

-We got to go to Florence. -We got to go.

-We got to run to the... Go to go. -Yes. All right. Go.

-Babe, you did amazing. -Thank you, baby.

We're still behind.

We are heading to the Villa Bardini.

Should be a pretty long ride.

Everyone always has a leg where they struggle,

and nothing is gonna help but getting to that task

-Yeah. -and knocking it out to the best of our ability.

We're hungry. We don't want to go home.

We making it. We making it.

Mike and I are on our way to the city center in Florence.

Centrois straight.

Okay.

We are in the middle of the Mega Leg.

Essentially, the Mega Leg is double everything.

We left the first Roadblock in first.

We've done a leg, but, you know, we're here for the race,

and so I can do two more legs right now.

It's all good.

What a morning.

We jumped from, I think, eighth to second,

because my sister killed it.

So far, the only contestants

we've been worried about are the brothers.

This is nuts.

They're accustomed to driving internationally,

so they're getting to these challenges quicker.

If we can get them out of their comfort zone,

maybe we'll have an equal chance with them.

Well, at least we have teams behind us.

We're going to Firenze.

-We're going to Florence, Italy. -Florence.

Honestly, I don't know anything about Florence.

Florence, Italy or, as the Italians say, Firenze.

Now we just have to mentally reset,

'cause it's a Mega Leg.

- Round two, we're still alive. - I'm feeling a little tired.

It took me a while to finish up building the Ducati.

As long as we're not eliminated, I'm happy.

Our confidence has taken a hit during the Mega Leg,

but I feel confident in Derek, and I feel confident

in our partnership and navigation.

So that's what I'm gonna rely on.

I think our Roadblock strategy

has actually been pretty good so far.

My dad has now done three, and I've done zero.

The reason for that is because I have anxiety.

Just in general, I'm an anxious person.

So I was a little hesitant to just even get started.

But since it's a Mega Leg,

I'll more than likely do the next one.

And then hopefully we're headed to see Phil on the mat,

because I...

I'm tired.

Let's set the intention to

move up in ranking to group one or group two.

-Okay. -Which way? Which way?

Firenze,to the right, to the right.

Honey, you got to look at the signs with me.

-Don't just drive, but also multitask Yes.

-and look at the signs. -Uh-huh.

Today is our three-year anniversary.

Look at the signs, honey. Look at the signs.

Yes, love.

There's a lot of synchronicity going on,

and we know for a certainty that we're meant

to move forward and stay in this game.

-I hear what you're saying. -What am I saying?

You know, for me to read the signs.

Yes.

Ooh, driving is tons of fun.

We're going now to Firenze.

A map would've been nice, but at least

-we have proper directions. -Yeah.

Mega Leg.

Double the Roadblocks, double the Detours, double the pain.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

I'm just looking to see if I see a building

that would be indicative of a fort.

I feel like we should go up this road.

Yes.

Turn in to gate at Largo Edoardo Speranza.

- Right here. - Oh.

Nice. Let's get in here and do some work.

Oh, man, that was tough.

Turn in to the gate at Largo Edoardo Speranza.

-Oh, my God. -Oh, they just got here?

Follow the signs to Villa Bardini.

Enter through the marked gate.

At least we see where to go.

-There's a sign for Villa Bardini right here. -Okay.

On the door.

-Here we go. -All right.

All right, Roadblock.

"Who Wants a Chiseled Body?"

About one third of the world's art treasures

can be found here in Florence.

And arguably the most famous sculpture on the planet

is Michelangelo's David, which stands a staggering

17 feet high in a museum behind the Duomo.

♪ ♪

This Roadblock requires teams

to use the tools provided

and carefully chisel out one of these blocks

to reveal a sculpture...

...hidden inside.

When the museum director feels their artwork

-is ready for the gallery... -Okay.

...they'll be rewarded with a clue.

I guess it's me.

"Use the tools of an artist and chisel out a sculpture

to receive your next clue."

-Hopefully I can do this. I'm nobody's artist. -Yeah.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

Okay.

"Choose any available workstation with tools.

There's a marked example of how your statue should look."

I have to make this look like that.

We had to carve out

the details of this statue.

I'm like, "There is no way that this is happening."

Just take your time.

"Roadblock.

Who Wants a Chiseled Body?"

- I do. - You do.

I don't know, Mike. It's gonna be a while.

The other team's here, but no-no rush.

I don't know what is gonna help me get through this thing.

Thinking about how best to do this.

There's something wrong here.

Like, there's no way any of us,

even if we had a month to do this, could actually

complete this and make it look good.

Yes. Yes.

And I finally saw pieces starting to fall off

to reveal the sculpture.

I have hope.

Yes. She's figuring it out.

Look away.

Molly knocked the block off,

and you can see the statue

begin to reveal itself.

And so I'm like, "Oh, that's all it is?"

The expectation was definitely that I have to carve

every little, like, all this man's ribs, the toenails.

♪ ♪

Look at that view, baby!

-"Who Wants a Chiseled Body?" -Oh.

- You want to do it? - I'll do it.

Yes.

Oh, my God. Thank God.

Hey, guys.

- Oh, my God. How do you do this? - I'm so confused.

Oh, it's probably in there, already made.

Let me start.

You guys have it to perfect.

I know it's in there.

- I mean, I was a sculpting major.

Didn't I tell you that?

Here we go.

Okay. Roadblock.

"Who Wants a Chiseled Body?"

-I'll do it. -Okay.

We made it.

All right, Sharik, you got it.

I just realized Salsa dancers aren't here.

- They left before us. - We moved up.

We moved up. Look at that.

Almost done?

Um... - It-it looks pretty good from here.

There's some places I'm gonna have to fix.

The hardest thing about chiseling was

the plaster is inside the details,

and so when you get into the details,

if you hit it too hard to get that plaster out,

then you're damaging the statue, and it'll be no good.

I think I'll be here at least another half hour.

Slowly, but surely.

It says, "Go straight."

Go straight?

You're looking for a gate.

Largo Speranza.

Aw, shoot.

That was the street. It's all one-way.

Babe, it's okay. Just breathe.

We're gonna have to go all the way around.

Oh, my God.

Here we go.

Roadblock.

"Who Wants a Chiseled Body?"

-Oh, man. -I do.

What?

Let's get it, Abby.

Holy crap.

- It looks... I know. Take it a step at a time.

-Wow. -Oh.

Right up there.

Roadblock. "Who Wants a Chiseled Body?"

I'll do it.

♪ ♪

Oh, okay. That's a start.

All right. Making headway here.

So, my strategy here is

to break the bottom so that the top can hopefully just fall.

That's the goal.

I feel good that Sharik is actually getting a chance

to do this Roadblock right here,

because she was nervous to do any Roadblock.

Right now, she's calm.

I know that if a team leaves,

she's going to get a little bit anxious.

So I'm kind of looking out

for that to make sure I keep her motivated.

Good, good, good, good.

Think we need to go to the right.

- There? - Yep.

- I see the gate. - Oh, my God.

Six. There's only six cars, babe. Don't worry.

Grab your stuff. Let's go.

Right here, baby, come on.

Roadblock.

"Who Wants a Chiseled Body?"

You might have to chisel.

-All right. I need... -Here.

You got it, Aubrey.

Ooh! Ooh!

After that drive, this is a really great feeling.

I just start, like, hammering.

She went to town.

-You can see the chunks, just ding, ding, ding. -Yeah.

This was what I wanted to do to the dang map.

Bam.

Clue box.

-Roadblock. -Roadblock.

"Who wants a chiseled..." Oh, perfect.

You. Derek, Derek.

-Here. Run fast. -Nice.

Who is that, Michelangelo?

This can't be right.

Focus on your sculpture, babe.

Oh, boy.

-Here, here. Centro. Centro. -Centro.

Exit, exit, exit.

I feel like we are super behind.

We are a little bit behind.

Do you know where you're going right now?

Uh...

I'm kind of using my senses

to head towards the general direction.

-You're using senses? -Yes. Mm-hmm.

You're just kind of thinking everything's

-just flowing this way? -I'm trusting myself.

-But... Oh, my God. -Just...

-I'm asking you to trust me, because I'm-I'm the navigator. -Okay. Okay.

I do feel we're going towards the right direction.

♪ Honey, we're driving the streets of Italy.♪

-We're still in it. We're still in it. -This was a crazy leg.

It's a crazy leg, but we're still in it, babe.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

I don't think this is where we're supposed to be, but...

Oh, there's a marker.

Aah!

I did not even want to come up here.

There's a clue box.

-Roadblock. -Roadblock.

-"Who Wants a Chiseled Body?" -I do.

To the left. Yep.

-I'm here! -Yay!

It feels excellent to see people still here.

We're not out.

All right, all right, all right.

I think I'm done with all the chiseling.

I need a check, please.

Just right here?

I got some water here, 'cause I know I'm about to plaster.

Any places on the statue that you damage,

we have in our tool kit a water and plaster

to make it look as close to the example as possible.

Can I get a check, please?

-No. -Okay.

I had a hole in here that I forgot about.

In my head, if the structure's broken,

the top should fall, but that's not how it's going.

It was much harder than it looks.

How did everyone else

get all of this so fast?

Oy, yoi, yoi.

Can I get a check, please?

Yes.

Yes! Yes! Love you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh, my God.

- Molly ended up getting her clue. - Like, I wasn't concerned.

If I get it in the next check or two,

we'll be able to run them down in the final Detour.

-All right. Detour. -Detour.

"Eye for Fashion or Window of Opportunity?"

Florence is a hotspot for fashion,

home to world-class designers,

fashion schools, fashion museums,

and with backdrops like this, you see lots of fashion shoots.

Teams need to find three of them scattered around town,

then memorize the specific details of each model's outfit.

If they can identify the correct outfits

from this series of sketches

and match them to the locations in which they saw them,

a fashion designer will hand them a clue.

Amazingly, these small windows

helped with the outbreak of the bubonic plane.

Customers could make curbside pickups

without having direct contact with sellers.

After the outbreak of COVID,

these unique portals made a big comeback.

To complete this Detour, teams must find

three of 150 windows scattered around the city

to pick up some of Italy's food favorites--

Tuscan soup, cured meats and biscotti.

Once they've delivered everything intact

to a pair of diners at this outdoor trattoria,

they'll get their next clue.

-We're gonna do Eye for Fashion. -Yeah.

It feels pretty incredible that we're first.

Check, please.

I think I got it, sir.

-It's good. -Thank you, sir.

Yeah, yeah.

We can still catch up.

Detour. Eye for Fashion.

-Is that what you're thinking? -I'm cool with that. Yeah.

-So, just remember it? -We're gonna do Eye for Fashion.

All right.

Oh, here.

Are we last?

Right here.

Hey, guys.

This-this way. This way, right here.

All right.

-Roadblock. -Oh, God.

"Who Wants a Chiseled Body?"

Okay, I'll do it.

Here we go.

Piazza della Repubblica.

From here, go to Ponte Vecchio.

And then go over there.

-Did the girls come out? -I haven't seen 'em.

We need to figure out which way to go.

-Um... Yeah. -Come down where we came from.

Am I creating that?

Yeah.

-Really? -Yeah.

Dom, just trust yourself.

I'm creating this...

I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

I walked around and saw the other teams,

and it looked like they had sculpted that amazing sculpture.

How am I supposed to create this?

And I just knew this is not something that I can do.

Rich, honestly,

I'd rather risk it and take a penalty,

because this is not what I do.

I can get kind of scared with what I don't know.

I can be emotional, all over the place,

and, um, despair set in really quickly.

- Go. Boo. - No.

This is not my kind of thing.

-Boo, you got it. -Yeah, I can't.

-You got it. Trust yourself. -Uh, no, no. No, no.

No, I'm done.

-Rich, honestly, I-I'd rather... -Boo. Boo...

I-I'd rather risk it and take a penalty,

because I-I'm not... I can't. This is not what I do.

I was willing to take a penalty,

because I just figured this is not something I can do.

He can't just take over this Roadblock.

I-I'd rather take a four-hour penalty,

-and then we can go to the next thing. -Boo.

If we take a four-hour penalty, we're automatically out.

I want you, for 15 minutes...

-Yeah. -to pretend that you're a freaking sculptor.

-Okay, I'll try it. -Okay.

-Okay. You got this, baby. -Yeah.

This is not my, uh, uh, wheelhouse at all.

So we go to three different fashion shoots.

We got to memorize what we saw at each fashion shoot.

We got to make a right soon.

Oh, this is killing my shins.

This is the second half of the Mega Leg.

It's been a long day.

We just need to power through and try to finish.

-Don't twist your ankles, Em. -Okay.

We're about to be at Piazza della Signoria.

Is this the fashion show?

Yep.

You want to remember one, I'll remember the other?

- Yeah. - Which one you want to remember?

-I'll remember the girl. -Okay.

You go to this piazza. You look at the-the photo shoot.

You remember what the, uh, models are wearing.

I'm more of a visual learner,

so, like, if I can look at something, read something,

then I'll remember it.

You got the whole thing. The-the amulet on her neck?

Yeah.

- Her broomstick? - Yeah.

All right, we're gonna go to Piazza della Repubblica.

Make a left on Via degli Speziali.

Left, Via degli Speziali.

Look for the fashion photographer in the piazza.

Yeah, he's got his camera.

-I'll remember left, you remember right. -Okay.

We had to look at all of the details.

Tan, black leather vest. He's holding a purple flower.

I was looking at color, jewelry, accessories, shoes.

Got crazy necklace and something wrapped around his ear.

I have a pretty good photographic memory,

so I was just taking a snapshot.

-Okay. Left here. Right. -Make a right. Okay.

So now we're gonna go to della Repubblica.

It's gonna be on the left.

Work fast, work hard.

You got this.

Keep going, keep going.

Oh.

When I reread the clue,

I realized it was to chisel out

what was already there, which makes complete sense.

Ain't that a bitch.

I'm not gonna lie, Claire, he's got some bullet holes.

-I believe in you. -Thank you.

Now this is the part where I thrive in,

like, small, little details.

Babe, keep going!

My poor little guy here

is gonna have to get smoothed out once I'm done.

Keep chipping away, Shasha.

His forehead fell off.

Gonna have to glue it back on.

That, see, it helps.

-Oh, is it three people? -Is it three?

Here they come.

- I'll get left, you get right. - Okay, there's three outfits.

Michael and Marcus, they didn't really seem

like they were taking it all in, like we were.

I think they were feeling the pressure

that we were right there.

Come on, Moll.

Getting that booty off.

We're still in it. It ain't over. - Yeah.

Okay, let's do it.

"Make your way to the marked wine windows."

-See you. -Got to get out of here.

Scusi.Can you guys help us?

Trying to find Palazzo Rucellai.

We wanted to run our own race.

We don't have to call somebody,

-Ah, this is beautiful. -Are we in the right place?

I'm looking.

Molly, Molly, Molly, it's right here.

Here's Piazza del Duomo.

-Piazza del Duomo... -Right here, Marcus. It's right in front of you.

-Which one you want? -You take the right, I'll take the left.

-This way? -We got to go south.

So once we saw three photography sets,

we had to run to put in the sketchbooks

-the images of the models that we saw. -The models.

Where we going, Marcus? Straight?

They went that way.

Let's get first. Get this right, get to the Pit Stop.

Baby, I'm gonna meditate for you.

Sending positive vibes.

Ooh!

This is Piazza de' Rucellai,

- which is what we needed. - Oh, look.

Red and yellow flowers.

-The window's right there. -Okay.

Grazie.

Each restaurant we went to to pick up food

had a-a cool kind of little window,

very small, that went into the restaurant,

and we had to go through the window,

and then grab whatever they gave us.

We got... looks like a risotto-type thing. Looks tasty. -Something. Yeah.

-Okay. Where are we going? -Off to the next one.

So it's right here somewhere.

-Do you see a sign? Okay. -It's right here.

Blue, black. Oh, bandana.

He's wearing the bandana print.

-That's it. I can remember that. -All right, let's go.

And then now we got to work our way up.

I have no idea what technique the other people are using.

I'm using my years of not doing this to invent something.

Can I get a check, please?

It's got to be it. This is it.

-Yes! -Thank you so much. Thank you.

- That's it. - Sure, yay,

got the clue, but at what cost?

-I feel like crying, and I don't want to cry. -No, you did a great job.

You know, I was

here chiseling away for, like,

an hour and a half, and my-my hands hurt.

I can barely open the clue.

-Window of Opportunity. -Window of Opportunity?

- Sure. - It was difficult.

Yes, Dad, it was difficult.

And you pulled through.

You definitely should have done that one.

-That was physical, for sure. -But you did it, though.

I'm proud of you.

I know my dad was excited, and I really wanted

to be able to show up for him, but, like,

I could barely show up for myself.

I, like, don't even want to do this anymore. This is terrible.

Sharik, you got it.

I set very strong boundaries with myself,

and once I feel a boundary is going over,

then I literally will be like,

-"I'm not doing that." -You got this, Sharik.

-You did it. Sharik... -I want to go home.

No, I honestly do. I'm not lying.

-I want to go home. -Sharik, stop.

You got this. Come on. Stop.

When it comes to making decisions,

I am strongheaded about what I want to do.

And then she might have another opinion about what we should do.

We're not quitters.

-Michael. Right here. -What?

Oh, it's right here.

Okay.

All right. "Match the models' outfits

to the corresponding location."

-Damn. -Come on, man.

I didn't take a picture.

Oh...

We went to

take the exam,

and it was a picture

of the background at a piazza.

Damn, 'cause I didn't really look at the background.

Okay.

All right, let's do one more.

-That's the fir-- the last one, right? -Last one.

Thankfully, she was keeping track

of the images of the piazzas, because I was thinking of names.

Oh, wait, there's multiples.

Don't talk too loud, though. - Okay.

Check this out.

-Signoria is the first one. -That's the Signoria?

-Are you sure? -Yeah.

This is the right girl.

-Is this one? -This is different.

- We gotta read the clue. - I know, I know.

-Window of Opportunity. -Window of Opportunity.

Yes.

Dom's giving it her best right now,

and she's feeling emotions.

When everyone left, and I knew I was the last one there,

I got so emotional about it,

because I felt I couldn't achieve this.

It was my internal challenge.

Why is this so hard?

We don't feel 100% confident,

-but we're pretty close. -Yeah.

We think we got something.

Check, please.

It's this one.

If they get it and we get it next,

-That is correct. -Oh, yes. Thank you. All right.

Okay. "Race on foot to your next Pit Stop, Piazza Ognissanti."

Teams must find me at one of the estimated

60 piazzas here in Florence, Piazza Ognissanti--

which is now the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.

The last team to check in here will be eliminated.

-We got to go up. -Okay.

Which one did we go to first?

Because remember, it was the Poseidon.

- Was the first one? - Yeah.

Then that's this one. This is Signoria.

That's the first one.

-Okay. So, this with the blue? -Yeah.

We are making changes to location--

what we thought was Piazza Signoria location

to the Repubblica location.

Okay. That's correct.

"Last team to check in will be eliminated."

-All right. -We just passed the boys at the...

So now we're running to the Pit Stop.

So proud of us.

Winning-winning matters, Phil.

-Rojo y Azulcoming for you! -Let's roll!

We decided to team up with Mattie and Quinton,

because, you know, we're just exhausted.

In this, uh, Detour, four heads are better than one,

-and let's just... -Than two.

Maybe one, 'cause we're have...

-at a half a head each. -We're exhausted.

-Careful. -Ah. Scusi.

- Should be this one, guys. Yes. - It's this one.

You grab it from the window.

-Grazie. -Grazie.

Guys, we can't go too fast. Can't drop.

Don't spill the beans!

Do you see 'em?

-Okay, okay, okay. -Red and black.

Red and black.

Okay. Here's where they're trying to trick us.

He's wearing the bandana print, too,

but he's got the jacket.

They both have black sleeves.

-One's a red dress. ¿Lista? -Sí.

Go this way, yeah. This way.

Osteria. Right here.

Ciao.

-Thank you. -Grazie.

Looks like a pretty good dinner.

Oh, wait, there's one here, guys.

Hold up. Right here, right here.

Oh, my God. Can I eat this?

-No. No. -Can I eat this?

-Just a little piece? -No.

Grazie.

Sharik, come on.

-I want to go home, Dad. -I understand.

Do you have water?

- Do you want this? - No, I want water.

No, I don't have any water. - I want to go home.

I-I'm over it.

I see 'em.

Okay, so... - I know she has a skirt, dress, leggings.

-Heels, heels. Belt, belt. -Hey, get us back to...

-This street, all the way down. -Okay.

Hello.

Grazie.

-Okay. -Okay. Where now?

Right here, baby, right here.

- All right. You ready? - Yeah.

-That was blue. No, I saw it. -She-- That is not correct.

-He's wearing white pants. -David has a really good memory.

- We're doing great. - Crushing it.

Look at this beautiful couple here.

- Thank you so much. - Yeah!

Don't drop anything.

- You guys, go ahead. - No, come on.

I just don't want to spill, dude.

Okay, we're ready.

-Yes! Grazie. -Yes! Thank you, guys.

-Yes! Let's go. -Grazie.

-Thank you. Grazie. -Grazie.

We're ready.

Corretto.

-Yes! -Yeah!

"The last team to check in will be eliminated."

Let's go see Phil.

I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry that... -Boo.

we won't make it.

-Boo, we're gonna make it. -I'm sorry.

I was looking at this

imperfect piece that I made,

which it didn't look as good as any of the others.

-I won't stop. -That's right, baby.

But I just kept going until it was sufficient.

I filled in the plaster holes.

Congratulations.

Love and light.

"Eye for Fashion or Window of Opportunity?"

Eye for Fashion.

What's the highest you've been so far?

Sixth.

You're team number three.

Hello.

-Thank you. -All right.

We're into the Pit Stop.

One, two, three.

Luis and Michelle, Quinton and Mattie, I am pleased to tell you

that you are teams number four and five.

-Yeah! -Yes!

Good job, guys.

Here's a team.

Yeah!

There you go.

Aubrey and David, you're team number six.

-You get to race in another leg. -Yes. Yes.

You have survived the Mega Leg.

- Baby, this is it. - Osteria Belle Donne.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

You know, we're grateful to be here.

We do not believe

there's any value to being negative.

We got this, babe.

We ain't going home today.

Let's just ask people.

You can ask people. I don't want to walk anymore.

Okay. Okay, this guy.

- Can I ask you a question? - Yeah.

Sharik was checked out.

And, um, she got sassy with me throughout the entire ordeal.

She has to listen to what Dad is saying, because Dad knows best.

That way.

Finally!

Ciao.

-Ah, grazie. -Grazie. Grazie.

-Grazie. -Thank you.

Okay, you hold it.

Babe, people are hauling tail right now.

This moment is really what makes us, as individuals.

Like, it's how you handle the tough situations.

- Hi. - Okay, these two are easy.

You want to hold the easy one?

-These are actually easy. -Yes. Yes.

- That is easy to spill. - Okay. All right.

This has to be it, Boo.

So this is grunge, blue.

We have no

non-elimination legs,

-and it's just go, go, go. -I remember her,

-you remember him. -Okay.

One window.

Hello.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Nice place.

Oh, my God.

12 hours later.

I know this is the furthest down

-that you've finished so far. -Yeah, we're slipping.

-We're slipping. Seven. -One, four, seven.

We can't focus on the negative trend.

We have to have hope and be able to push through

and use it to drive us.

- I got white dress. - Okay.

Black stockings, shoes, gold dress, gold earrings.

-Gold. -Beautiful afros.

You look beautiful, queens.

- Here you go. - Yes.

We are going to the Pit Stop!

Number two or one?

-We'll both remember the middle. -Okay.

Okay. Necklace.

White earrings. Beautiful hair.

Yes, honey, that's beautiful.

-Okay, now where we got to go? -Towards the river.

I love you, sweetie. Happy anniversary.

We got this, Sharik. I know that you miss home.

I just, I'd rather be at home.

Hello.

-Thank you, miss. -Thank you. Yep.

-Ah. Okay. Thank you. -I got it.

- Down here, down here. - To the right, to the right.

We are last.

-How do we do it? -Oh, my goodness. It's pictures.

Okay, let's do this.

-This was the first one. Yeah. -First one.

We got to put them in the slots. - Okay. So the first one?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Put this one on the, uh, the two beautiful queens.

-Is that it? -Yeah.

Okay.

-Hello. -Hi.

I'm sorry. That's not correct.

I got it.

I know that you're tired.

-I-I... I'm not... -It's been a long day.

-I'm proud of you. -I'm honestly not that tired anymore.

I just want to go home.

Yeah, his shirt was white, huh?

- I think that was white. - Yep, yep, yep.

-Okay. -Check, please.

- Sorry. Not correct. - Okay.

We were honestly really struggling.

It was taking more time than was necessary to get it done,

completed and get out of there.

So...

Do we need to go back?

- This one. - Uh, I feel we have that right.

Another thing we could do

is we can go back out.

If you want to, we can.

We're still in this race, Boo.

No, we're not. I'm not gonna delude myself, baby.

This is not leading to anywhere I think we need to go.

This doesn't feel right.

I'm so proud of us.

I'm so proud of us.

I know these are tears of joy,

because you are team number eight.

To be standing right here on this mat without quitting.

It feels amazing. It really does.

- I'm so proud of us. - That's a victory.

Right here. Oh, right here, right here, right here.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

-All right. -Oh, my God.

Okay. White shirt, white pants.

-Uh-huh. -Light color feather.

So we got that one.

-Remember, this is the tall tower. -Black shoes.

-Number one, tall tower. -So that's where we got it mixed up.

Where?

We kept putting the Black queens, beautiful, with this.

-Probably. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Careful, careful, 'cause if that spills,

-Okay. -they're gonna want us to do it again.

Okay. No problem.

-And I for one will not be doing it again. -Sorry.

Okay. Okay.

Good job, baby.

Any switches for the-for the blue?

Top one?

Somewhere down here. Here we go.

I think we serve it to any couple.

-Hello. Here you go. -Hello.

Yay. Thank you.

We didn't pass any Piazza Ognissanti.

Grazie. Grazie.

No.

You keep asking me that. The answer is still no.

- Let's finish strong, baby. - Okay.

We're close by.

We didn't see it that way, did we?

Wasn't really paying attention.

Okay. Come on.

- Finish strong, baby. - Okay.

Almost there, Shasha.

- I just want to be done. - I know.

I think it's right here.

Hi there.

Linton and Sharik, I know it's been a day.

Yeah. My arms hurt.

Just not worth it.

I want to go home. Please send me back to New York.

Really? - 'Cause I'm just, I'm over it. -She was frustrated today.

Terribly frustrated today.

Well, I'm pleased to tell you that you are team number nine.

As you stand here right now, you have a choice.

One is leave the race, go home to New York, you're done.

Mm-hmm. - The other is you keep on racing.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to keep racing?

-You know I want to keep racing. I love The Amazing Race. -Okay.

Sharik, you got to be more excited than that.

Come on.

My arms hurt so much.

Yes, but... - Phil, have you ever chiseled anything?

I have.

You want to keep racing?

Yeah, I'll keep racing with my father.

-You want to keep racing? -Yes, Phil. Yes, Phil.

-I'll keep racing. -All right.

You can't give up on your dad right now.

-Your dad is here for you. -I'm not gonna give up on him.

I just need to sleep.

Strength just comes through these times, these tough times.

You good?

I'll do it for you. Strictly.
