The Amazing Race

11 teams began a race around the world.

Go!

- Let's go, let's go. - Come on, Haley.

"...fly to the island of Trinidad."

In Trinidad, teams partied at Carnival...

...but once on the neighboring island of Tobago,

they were all business.

So we need to memorize the colors.

Former Olympians Kellie and LaVonne

- stumbled early. - I hate losing

more than I love winning.

At a musical Roadblock, former NFL player Gary

hit a low note...

...while Cajun sensation Michelle

was perfectly in tune.

Thank you.

In the end, married parents Hung and Chee won the leg.

And best friends Nathan and Cody came up short.

You have both been eliminated from the race.

After completing the first leg,

teams were surprised to find out they were still racing,

and had to catch a flight to Colombia.

-Let's go. -Another taxi, another airport.

We're exhausted,

but the other teams are, too, so we'll just keep on racing

and hopefully we can keep up the good results.

The past ten years, life has been really, really crazy

with work and kid

and then kid and then kid.

We don't really have much time for each other,

so this is a huge break from reality for us to reinvest

in us.

I'm hyped to get to Colombia, man.

We're in ninth place, but we're still running,

we're still in the race.

Everybody was kind of gunning for us because of the fact

that they knew that we were Olympians.

So being weak on the first leg may make people

-start to underestimate us. -Sleep.

We're gonna show everybody

why we're Olympians-- a little brains, a lot of speed--

and just use that to our advantage to win.

Bogotá, Colombia.

- Yes. - We finished in tenth.

- Right. - Not what we wanted.

But it's easy to overcome for us.

We overcame adversity multiple times playing football,

and we'll overcome it again.

But I know this--

we came here to win this competition.

Our future's so bright, Gar, put on my glasses.

Thank you so much.

Got to get on this one flight that we all share.

We're all tied for first right now.

I'm going to just pass out.

My father played the biggest role,

probably, in my life.

He's taught me so much and he's raised me

to the man I am today.

This race will give us the opportunity

to do things together that we would have never done together.

He's relied heavily on me his entire life.

But right now, I know

that I'm gonna have to rely heavily on Frank.

Two tickets for Bogotá, please.

On the double.

All teams will fly 1,400 miles southwest to Bogotá,

the capital city of Colombia.

Built more than a mile high in the sky,

the thin air here could push some teams

to the breaking point.

Heads up, let's have a nap.

-All right, let's go. -Thank you so much. Have a good night.

This is so cool!

-All right. -We're at the airport.

- Colombia! - Let's do it.

We are here to kick ass,

and don't give a damn about your name.

Colombia!

-Go, go, go. -Let's go!

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Right behind you, D. Vámonos.

Grab it.

"Travel by taxi to Mina de Sal."

Teams must travel by taxi to the Nemocón Salt Mine,

home to the world's largest deposits

of rock salt like this in the world.

Once here, they must search these underground tunnels

which cover an area of more than two acres,

for a ten- or 20-minute hourglass,

then sign up for a departure time in the morning.

Their hourglass will give teams the power

to stop another team racing

for ten or 20 minutes

when they encounter a Yield during the race.

The power of the Yield can be used

to stop a team in their tracks...

My God.

- They yielded us, Colin. - Damn it.

...dramatically affecting the outcome of the race.

Knowing that every second counts,

will teams make this game-changing decision?

Taxi.

Get in, D.

You get us there first, you get more money.

"Your hourglass will give you the power to make..."

-"another team..." -"...another team yield at certain points

- in the race." - My God, so we want a 20.

My gosh.

This to-- this-this could add a whole different element.

It's going to, like,

put a lot of strain on these, like, relationships

and kind of start, like,

the alliances earlier on in the race.

Everyone's gonna have the power to yield.

Everyone's gonna get that opportunity.

We obviously want to find the one that's 20 minutes.

Absolutely.

-Okay. -Thank you. Gracias.

All right.

Okay. Where do we need to go right now?

- Straight. - Come on.

- All right, ready, Hung? - Yeah.

This is cool.

I've never been in any, like, spooky caves.

There's a dog here.

- Hey, dog. - Hi, baby.

Can you tell us where an hourglass is?

Okay. Hourglass.

Fast as we can.

- Sounds like another team. - Hey.

- You guys find anything? - Not yet. - Nope.

Chee, here's the board. We can't sign up yet, right?

-No. -We have to find the hourglass first.

There's five 6:00 a.m.s and five 6:30s.

There are some Yields that were ten minutes

and some Yields that were 20 minutes.

But there was a trade-off.

The more time you searched for a 20-minute Yield,

the bigger risk you had of not signing up

for the first release time the next morning.

First one we get, we grab.

We made the strategic decision

to grab the first hourglass we could

so that we could sign up for the first release time.

Come on.

-How much? -250.

-50? Let's go.

Where is it? This way? Yeah.

The 20-minute thing

-is worth risking. -Yeah.

Do you see it?

Just keep looking out for one. Go, go, go.

I think we need to go the other way.

There's a ten-minute right here.

It's ten-minute, though.

Leave it.

D-Do you see it?

I found a ten-minute hourglass, Hung.

Let's go. Let's go.

There it is.

Eswar. See, they just go one.

He leaped for it.

We could've gotten it first.

Babe, go.

Where the hell is it?

- 20-minute, Gar. - Let's get it. Let's go.

- Let's go. - We're 100% using this.

Right there, right there on the ground.

There it is, there it is. Go, go, go.

Nice, nice, nice.

Yes. We're team number one.

- My God, got to catch my breath. - You guys found one.

All right.

6:00 a.m. Third team.

- Right here. Perfect. - We made the 6:00 a.m.

-That's good. -There's only one left.

-Which way? Okay, come on. -Go, go, go.

Ten. I got it.

-You got it? Great. Let's go. -Let's go.

Hourglass. Go, get it. Where-- I don't see it.

Ten. Let's go.

-Grab it, grab it, grab it. -All right, let's go.

Come on, let's grab it.

Yes, we're the last one.

We luckily made the right decision to just

take the first hourglass we could find,

'cause we were the last team to get on the 6:00 a.m. crew.

Damn it, we're all on the second one.

So, a deficit again.

I think that we'll be able to catch up,

but so far, mediocre pace.

- We're here. Got one. - My God. Yes. 20.

We got a 20-minute hourglass.

- Thank you. Thank you, God. Thank you. - Got it.

All 20 of us are packed in

to a little mine bunker,

and we're all getting bed-- ready for bed.

Cave was, for me, it was pretty rough.

We were last.
