Survivor

Previously on The Amazing Race...

Eight teams raced to Cologne, Germany.

The first self-drive brought out strong emotions.

- Morgan, I made a wrong turn! - Stop screaming.

I made a wrong turn.

You're gonna sit your ass back here in a minute

and ride a little bit.

- See how it feels. - No, 'cause then we're really gonna get lost.

Robbin and Chelsea followed the leaders.

- We're going back the other way? - Yeah.

We caught up to Greg and John, which is kind of a relief.

I guess, for now, we're just gonna follow them.

Brothers Greg and John had a taste for victory...

This was such a good move. This is fun.

...and won their second leg in a row.

Give us the news.

You are team number one!

- Yes. - Let's go, baby!

Best friends Joel and Garrett had a bad day...

I thought that self-driving, we would be lost less.

Many people would have gone insane by now.

I still got a little bit in me before I go nuts.

...but Andrea and Malaina's was worse.

You have been eliminated from the race.

This was amazing.

Yep, it was.

Route Info.

"Race to Ljubljana, Slovenia."

All teams will now leave Cologne, Germany

and travel more than 600 miles southeast

to the capital city of Sloveni,

Ljubljana...

Recognized as the greenest capital in Europe

and the tree city of the world.

This is the first time thatThe Amazing Race

has visited this 32-year-old country.

Throughout the race, teams will win OneKeyCash from Expedia,

which they can use for unique, expert-designed adventures.

Today, teams will go on an Expedia-inspired adventure

here in Slovenia,

taking part in local and authentic experiences

just like those found on the Expedia app.

Slovenia.

Yo. Slovenia.

- All right, so you want to start asking someone for Teddy Travel? - Yeah.

We're feeling pretty excited,

as long as there's not, like, an equalizer

and we still have our lead, we'll be amped.

We need to find out how to get to Teddy Travel International.

Up to now, I think we're communicating really well

and we're making game-time decisions

in a really educated way.

We're gonna go pick up our plane tickets and our train tickets.

Sounds like it.

There it is.

Good morning. We're trying to get to Slovenia.

So, our flight leaves at 7:30.

Yes, it's at 7:30. Is there anything earlier?

The only will be you can catch is 4:00.

Now, you see here, we have two seats left.

Yes, we'll get that. We'll take that right now.

Yeah, we'll take that right now. That's perfect.

Great, yeah, we'll take two. Thank you.

"To pick up your plane and train tickets,

travel on foot to the following travel agency."

Teddy Travel is what we're looking for.

This is written correctly?

- Your names? - That is correct.

So we just found out that there's

an earlier flight that leaves at 4:00 p.IN.,

instead of the 7:30 flight that everyone else is gonna take.

So we are in a really good spot right now,

where we're on the only flight

that leaves before everybody else.

- There it is. - Teddy Travel.

Hey.

- Hi, guys. - Hey.

- One receipt for you. - Thank you.

- Off to Vienna. - See you soon.

- Bye. - Bye.

Yeah, the earliest flight is this one at 7:30.

- We'll take that. - Perfect.

Okay, last name, then first name?

Is there any earlier flights or no?

There are two earlier flights you can catch,

but they are fully booked.

I'm wondering, though,

if it's the same airline, if we can ask for standby.

- Yeah, we can. - Okay. Thank you.

Everything is fully booked.

Yeah.

So the only thing you can do was standby.

- Let's get to it. - Thank you.

Thank you.

All earlier flights are really fully, fully booked.

Just like happened last time.

The earliest flight you can catch at 5:20

is completely fully booked.

Okay.

So we're gonna get the same tickets as five other teams?

- Four other teams? - Four other teams?

Yeah.

That's great news, because we're in last place.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

All right, you want to drive?

Um, yeah, why not?

- Team number one, baby. - Team number one.

All right. Off to Slovenia.

- Slovenia. - Slovenia.

Yesterday, we thought things were going really poorly,

and we ended up in second place.

We're ready for another first place finish.

Ultimately, though, we just need to beat one team.

It just goes to show, you never know

until you're on the map, where you're gonna end up.

Part of me thinks that's, like, where Dracula is... Slovenia.

I'm pretty positive.

Ivan the Impaler. Yes.

What is that?

I think he's, like, the guy that they got Dracula from.

Right?

I have no idea.

Today is a planes, trains and automobiles day.

But we have to somehow slow these boys down,

'cause they're just trucking along in first

and I'm getting kind of sick of it.

We're gonna be the first racers

to go to Slovenia in The Amazing Race.

So we are psyched.

Being a part of the race is fueling our competitive fire

and it's been an absolute blast.

My dad and I are trying to race to, Frankfurt Airport

so we can try and get on standby for the earlier flight.

The directions in Germany have gotten me so, like,

turned around.

So last leg, both of us had moments

where we knew where to go or what the answer was

- but we didn't trust our gut. - Yeah, we just

need to trust the information we gather a little bit more.

When we get down to the top, you know, seven teams,

there's no room for errors like that. There's just not.

We're trying to get to the Frankfurt Airport.

This is actually a really beautiful drive.

What a blessing.

In my head, I was thinking of our cousin.

Yeah, let's talk about positive things.

Last year, Morgan and I had the hardest year of our lives.

We had a cousin that had a double brain aneurysm,

and she's now not as able-bodid as she was before.

But what she has been able to do is

she can watch TV.

It makes us so happy to know that she's gonna see us

working on our relationship.

Even though she's not here she's gonna

be able to experience the joy

of this whole adventure with us.

A3 goes towards Frankfurt.

On our way out of Cologne,

back to Frankfurt.

After the last leg,

when we finished thinking that we were done,

the fact that we're still here, we're super excited.

So we're gonna do our best to come from behind

and move up in the race.

Most teams are gonna be on the later flight

that we're also gonna be on.

So, knowing that,

that definitely is much more motivation.

Gregory, this might be it.

- "Parking. Business." Yes. - Nice. Okay.

- So this is it, up here. - Yeah.

- Let's move. - Here we go. Let's move.

- Sorry. - Hey. Hi.

- Austrian Air? - Yeah, Austrian Air.

Looking for some red.

How in the world did they beat us here?

Were y'all going the speed limit?

It's the Autobahn, baby.

We got to run.

Out of here.

- Okay. - All right.

So our original flight was leaving at 7:30.

So we are trying to get on standby

at the 4:00 p.IN. Flight.

Looks like all four people are on the flight. Um...

No promises, 'cause things can change quickly,

but we're keeping our fingers crossed that we can hop on.

- Here we go. - Okay, I'm ready to rip.

So we are going to Vienna right now.

We have Todd and Ashlie, which were able to get on standby,

and Rob and Corey, who were able to get on standby.

We got on the earliest flight possible with Greg and John.

We jumped from fourth to top three,

and that was a great feeling to start the leg.

Let's go, boys.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

We need to get to Ljubljana as fast as possible.

We already have booked train tickets, reserved seats.

We are trying to find a way,

if there's a quicker route to get there faster.
