The Amazing Race

Previously on The Amazing Race,

five teams raced to Thessaloníki, Greece.

Raquel got wrapped up at the Roadblock.

There's a lot I have to redo.

It really is very confusing

as to what exactly she's looking for.

Doesn't make any sense to me, to be honest.

Arun and Natalia were lost for words.

The dish of the day is the souvlaki,

but first you must spell it. "Schulaki."

XUP...

No.

SCHULAKI?

No. Try again.

At a second Roadblock,

Penn flexed his powerful memory...

I was

making a personal CliffNote

in my head.

Correct. Yes! Come on! Sorry. It's...

...giving the married couple

their third win in a row.

You are team number one.

Yeah.

Meanwhile, a series of costly mistakes...

This is a park.

It's not in a park. Maybe it is in a park.

What are we missing here? I don't understand.

Oh, my God, I feel so dumb!

...led to a tearful goodbye for Lulu and Lala.

You are the last team to arrive, and you have been

eliminated from the race. After everything, thank you.

I do have some, uh, interesting news for you. You will be

staying in Greece tonight. You guys get to choose

which hotel you stay in. Really?

You will be booking your accommodation

using the fast and easy Travelocity mobile app.

Let's book our room through the Travelocity app.

Yeah, use the Travelocity app.

"Search hotels."

Whoa. Oh, that one looks good.

A couple Greek gods need a real nice place

to rest these old bones.

"Swipe to purchase."

We got a nice room. We're staying in Greece.

What a day.

Kim and Penn and Raquel and Cayla

will depart first at 9:00 a.m.

"Route Info."

"Drive yourself to the Forest Theatre in Thessaloníki."

"And search for your next clue."

Teams must drive 30 miles north

to Greece's second largest city

Thessaloníki an ancient city dating back 24 centuries

and named after Alexander the Great's sister.

They'll find their next clue here Theatro Dassous,

where stones are taking center stage.

Go. Go.

We are down to just four teams, which

is a little nerveracking. Yeah.

It just means that there's so little room

for error at this point in the race.

Oh, this one? Yup.

We're still living off the high

of being in last,

coming in second. Yeah.

So, we're, uh... we're feeling pretty good

going into today. Yeah.

Buckle up.

I think we're getting so much better and better.

I think, leg by leg, we're learning. We're learning

from our mistakes, we're getting stronger.

Which way should I go when I get out of here?

So, that I actually don't know.

But we haven't won a leg yet.

I know, maybe today's our day.

Love it. It would be great.

It would be awesome. Yeah. Any time now.

I'm looking for signs to Thessaloníki. That's all, right?

Is there a map in the front seat at all?

Yup. Oh.

Um...

I am doing the best I can.

The map doesn't even have our current city on it, so we are...

This is the definition of doing the best I can.

"I'm doing the best I can"

is sort of our family motto. Yup.

It is my belief

that most people you encounter are doing their very best.

Anxiety is something that I've battled, and on...

at a race like this, it's really just put under the microscope.

So, Penn and I know, as partners,

I might get frustrated, but he knows that,

at the end of the day, I'm doing the best I can.

Correct.

All right, what do we got? Route Info here.

All right, let's go. Oh, let's go.

Today, leg nine, leaving in the second group again.

Let's roll, buddy.

We're realizing that

that early start plays a tremendous amount

on how you can finish, and so,

it's a little deterring that we're not there, but, uh,

I think to get back into the top group today,

we just need to run a flawless leg. We are where

the Greek gods come from, so I'm hoping

that something's presented

to where our strengths can be put on display.

Always confident on navigation.

My boy back here is literally a Garmin.

Oh, this is a map of Thessaloníki,

so we just need to figure out how to get there first.

Natalia,

Natalia, I don't see any sign. Dahdah.

He's been really impressing me.

Like, for some of the physical challenges, I'm like,

"I'm not sure if he's gonna do it."

And he's, like, passing people and just killing it.

So, he's been impressing me

so much during this race.

With only four teams left,

we have oneinfour chance to make it to the finals,

with all the teams extremely strong,

so we just have to bring the best game possible.

We are not going anywhere. : We'll be here.

Navigating in Greece has definitely

been a little bit harder, uh,

compared to when we were more in, like, the city center

just because, um, there's not many signs

when you're in the countryside.

We want to make sure that we are not getting lost.

Ring Road.

Ring Road Highway. See?

Ring Road. Here. Ring Road, yeah.

We're going the right way, baby. Oh, good. Are you, like,

on the map now? Sweet. Yeah, we're on the map.

Exits and entrances to the city.

Okay, this is a sign, but I have no idea

what that says. I don't know what it says either, but...

We just don't want to make the same mistake

twice like we did in Switzerland.

Or what's up... what's up there, honey?

You want me to go up there? Yeah. Theatre.

Forest Theatre. Forest Theatre. Holy moly.

How did we find this?

Yeah, let's do this.

Oh, it's like an outdoor theater.

Yeah. Clue box.

: Sweet! Okay, babe.

"Roadblock." Okay. "Who will leave no stone unturned?"

Teams must now go on a search,

leaving no stone unturned

as they follow the Oracle of Delphi,

exploring all possibilities to achieve a goal.

In this case, a Roadblock.

Hidden under four of these stones is a gold coin,

which they'll need to present to the Oracle to get a clue.

That's me. That's Kim.

You're a good looker. You're good looking.

Okay.

Oh, my God, it's beautiful.

Look at this. Oh, you see

the Oracle, babe? I do. She's beautiful.

Oh, my God.

Leave no stone unturned.

You got it, baby. There are thousands of rocks here.

I walk in and see this stage covered with 5,000 stones.

Just a sea of stones.

Immediately I was overwhelmed.

Only strategy is attacking one section at a time

to make sure I'm not missing anything.

It was a semicircle

the stage, so it was kind of going in

a pie shape.

I was trying to create little landmarks

on the stage of areas where I was like,

"Okay, I've done.... I've done this row."

I'm gonna kind of go this way.

If we're the first team here, logically,

we have better odds.

You find the first coin,

you make it even harder for the team behind you

to find the coin.

If the last team has to find one rock,

that's just mean, if that's the case.

Listen to the relaxing music.

Yeah, it's like I'm in a spa,

but this is the worst spa ever.

We're in the right place, right? Yes.

This is an actual task? This is not a nightmare? Yes.

You're doing awesome. There's a lot of rocks.

It's gonna take time.

It's gonna be hard for everybody. I promise.

You're doing great. I know it doesn't feel like it,

but you're doing awesome. Keep on looking.

Our goals

for this leg are to get back in first place.

We have Thessaloníki. Thessaloníki.

Hell yeah, dude. So, is it, right, that?

I think we need to turn left. Right here.
