The Amazing Race

Previously on The Amazing Race,

nine teams raced through the heart of the Amazon,

Manaus, Brazil.

Will and James officially forged an alliance...

- Let's make it to the finals, boys. - Perfect.

And set their sights on a U-Turn target.

Use it on Leo and Alana.

The sooner they're gone, the better.

At a crowded market in Brazil, the alliance proved valuable.

Fill them up exactly the same.

A major mistake sunk father and son Jerry and Frank early.

- Everybody has their bag. - We don't have our stuff.

We have to go back.

Damn it!

In a tribal village,

Will and James served up a U-Turn to Leo and Alana...

We're making big moves.

Causing anger and tears.

I just don't want this to be the end.

Kaylynn and Haley returned a favor to help their friends.

- We have to, right? - We have to.

In the end, Will and James won the leg...

You're team number one.

While Jerry and Frank couldn't recover.

You are the last team to arrive.

We had a winning experience.

I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Eight teams remain.

Who will be eliminated next?

My God, look. Let's go.

We're on the Amazon!

- This is incredible. - Wow.

Wow.

It's unreal.

Wow, what a day.

They just pulled up. They're right there.

They're gonna be so mad at us.

Like, that was a hard day.

- Do you think they'll even acknowledge us? - No.

Will and James hurt us in the last leg.

We do have a Yield... And we would Yield Will and James.

Yeah. Taste of their own medicine.

If they leave, we're not sad about it.

I thought that you were joking when you said

we'd been U-Turned at first.

I was like, "That's a mean joke," and then we turned

around the corner and I was like...

"These guys."

- We thought we were... - We thought that, of the four people cooking...

We thought that you U-Turned us.

My gosh, where are we going today?

Will and James will be the first to leave the Amazon forest

and fly more than 1,500 miles to Paraguay

in the heart of South America.

They'll land here in the capital city of Asunción,

and find their next clue

at the Orquesta de Reciclados de Cateura.

All righty. Let's go to Paraguay.

During leg number two, we formed a

semi-alliance with four other teams.

That's Gary and Deangelo, Hung and Chee,

Riley and Maddison and Eswar and Aparna.

Obrigado. And it's carried over into leg three,

hopefully now into leg four.

We are departing Manaus at 3:00 a.m.

Communication is definitely something

we've struggled with a little bit in, real life,

and also, in the race, there are parts

that we still are struggling with.

- Yeah. - But there are instances - where we're doing really well.

As always, there's room for improvement,

but I think our communication is getting better.

Wait, there's laptops, you guys.

We get to the 24-hour

Internet area.

We wanted to look up information for our five-team alliance.

If you're not gonna take advantage

of these helpful things, you're not here to win.

The last leg, we came in third place,

and we want to stay there and just keep moving up

- in the ranks. - I know.

Haley and I moved out at a really young age.

- I moved out at 15 and Haley moved out at 16. - Yeah.

So we've always landed

on our feet, and Haley and I have always

just depended on ourselves and each other.

We're doing what we have to do to win this.

We're not ready to go.

It's about surviving and advancing,

and we feel pretty good about staying in South America.

So, we're professional beach volleyball players.

The tournaments we play in are double-elimination.

- So you can have that one mess-up... - That's a good point.

And move on and kind of redeem yourself.

Here,

it's a pretty good chance if you get last,

you're-you're out.

So, the last leg didn't go

as quite as well as we wanted it to.

Hopefully there's physical challenges coming up.

'Cause those play to our strengths.

- Thank you. - Obrigado.

So we're leaving Brazil

and we're going to Asunción, P-Paraguay.

Isn't that in Africa?

We know Uruguay is in Africa, but Paraguay, I can't even...

I-I, like, I'm having a brain fart.

We are so thrilled to find out that there is only one flight,

and we're all gonna be on it.

So our last place is gone.

- We're now able to again compete for first. - We're tied for first.

- Hey. Did we beat y'all here, or what happened? - Hey, guys.

- No, we went inside. - Okay.

Yep.

So we printed out maps for our alliance,

and the blondies have no idea we used the printer.

So Maddison and Gary are distracting them

so they don't know that we got maps of Paraguay.

It's time to get a little bit more competitive and,

you know, turn on the cute and fun.

And the plot thickens.

Taxi! Taxi! Taxi!

Come on, come on! Let's go, come on!

Yeah! Come on, fast, fast, fast!

- Hey, hey! - Taxi. Taxi?

Come on. Rápido.

We are in Asunción, Paraguay.

We just got off the plane.

So we're... please... Going to Orquesta

de Reciclados?

- Sí. - De Cateura?

- You know where that is? - You know where it is?

Gracias.

I hope it's something music.

- You know where that's at? - No, no.

You don't know where that's at?

Other taxi?

- Other taxi. Why? - He doesn't know.

- Do you know... - We're switching taxis

because he doesn't know where the orchestra is.

Do you know where the orchestra is?

¿Dónde está... orquestro?

Do you know where it is?

Will...

- ¿Que hora? - Yeah, you know where that's at? Let's go.

- Stop. Stop. - Stop.

- Stop, stop, stop. - Stop.

We're getting out.

Taxi? Taxi?

I think I actually saw Will and James

having a bit of a harder time finding their next cab.

Yeah. So, good.

- Of all the teams to see struggling... - Yeah.

They're the ones that we'd like

to see struggling the most today.

Taxi? Orquesta de Reciclados...

Gracias, gracias.

D... Let's go. Gracias.

Wow, this is definitely, like,

some crazy part of town right now.

So it kind of reminds us, like, when we go to India,

the roads are kind of crowded and, like, not that well-kept.

I'm hoping that this is

a back door or a quick way to get here,

'cause if it's not, I'm-a be pissed.

That's it.

Yeah.

Here we go. Let's keep pushing.

"Who is feeling instrumental?"

If you've ever heard the expression.

"One person's trash is another person's treasure,"

this could be the very definition.

The Landfill Harmonic of Cateura,

where every instrument has been made from trash.

It was started to help young people stay in school,

develop their creativity and provide a better future.

This Roadblock requires teams to figure out how to repurpose

items from a landfill to build a cello.

When it's music to their ears, they'll get a clue.

- I'm gonna do this Roadblock. - Okay.

- "Who's feeling instrumental?" - You are.

- Want me to do it? Okay. - Yeah.

Okay.

I need to just search the recycle pile for items

that can be made into working musical instruments.

Okay.

These are the pieces I need to make a cello.

I need that square gasoline thing.

Yeah, same.

Here's one.

Not an orchestra.

All righty.

- "Who's feeling instrumental?" - Me.

Next thing.

Need one of these trays.

I have some confidence that I can do this faster

than at least some teams,

'cause I played a lot of string instruments.

My mom is a teacher of string instruments,

so I've grown up surrounded by violins,
