The Amazing Race

Previously on The Amazing Race

eight teams raced to Asunción, Paraguay.

After surviving a U-Turn,

Leo and Alana confronted Will and James.

We thought, that of the four people cooking...

And we thought that you U-Turned us.

At the Roadblock, the alliance of five

continued working together.

- How did you do it? - Put it through the hole,

and then twist it.

Will and James's steady balance at the Detour

gave them their second win of the season.

You are team number one.

My God!

Meanwhile, Deangelo and Gary fumbled.

This sucks, bro.

And in last place, Kaylynn and Haley

found a reason to celebrate.

This is a non-elimination leg.

It does mean that you're going to face a Speed Bump

in the next leg.

Eight teams remain.

Who will be eliminated next?

"Fly to Paris, France."

Will and James will be the first

to leave Paraguay, South America,

and fly more than 6,000 miles across the Atlantic

to Paris, France,

home to iconic landmarks and elegant châteaus

like the Domaine de Chantilly,

where teams will find their first clue,

30 miles outside the city.

- My God. We get to go to Paris. - Paris. Oui-oui. Let's go!

"Drive yourselves to Domaine de Chantilly."

I'm excited for a self-drive.

I know that I'm gonna be the one that's driving,

'cause I know how to drive a stick

and I took lessons before the race,

and I've done it before when I was younger.

The self-drive is really exciting.

New element to the race that we haven't had yet.

Bonne journée. Bon voyage.

Growing up, we weren't close at all.

We're just opposites.

I'm the peacekeeper.

Michelle tends to lose her temper,

and I'd calm her down.

But spending time together's been awesome.

- Like, we've never ever been this close. - Nope.

But communication is key.

I'm a little dramatic and emotional,

so Victoria's my navigator and I'm just the goer.

God. I'm gonna get blamed for everything.

You're not gonna get blamed. I have faith in you.

The last time I was in Paris, I was, like,

13 years old and I had a crush on a boy named Steven.

This time I'm in Paris and I have a crush on Leo

- and he has a crush on me. - We're each other's

current crushes.

We're pretty certain that they drive stick shift in France.

I lived in Europe for five yearsand I had a stick shift

the entire time, so I'm basically fluent in stick shift

- at this point. - Yeah.

I came toThe Amazing Race thinking, like,

"This is gonna be a great way

for me to showcase my strengths,"

but I think more, it's highlighted

kind of the weaknesses.

I don't have any weaknesses.

We're, like, hoping to get on a really good flight...

We're boarding the first flight

with Michelle and Victoria,

Maddison and Riley.

And Will and James.

We're going to France!

We'll be landing in Paree by 8:00 tomorrow morning.

Yeah, we're 15 minutes behind the other flight

but we're hoping just to beat them.

- We're gonna crush our Speed Bump. - Yeah.

We are not leaving today.

All right, let's find our cars.

Yeah, it is stick shift.

Yes, it's a manual. Let's go!

We're looking for signs for A1.

Whoo, look who's still got it, baby.

Baby, you good?

He's struggling to get out of first.

It's all about feeling it out.

No.

I can't be stuck behind them.

- Perfect. Good work. - Let's do it.

Okay, now where do I go?

- Baby, we need to go. - It's not working.

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

Let's go! He's struggling.

My God. What are they doing?

Who's ahead of us?

Someone who can't drive.

- Will and James? - Yeah, yeah.

- They're incompetent. - That's super annoying.

You almost had it, baby.

No, I didn't, James.

Now Riley and Maddison are getting a huge advantage

'cause these boys suck.

There's got to be at least one team

that doesn't really know how to drive stick.

Yeah.

I need help.

Dude! What are they doing?

We need them to move.

What's Leo doing?

Tell Leo what's happening. We're stuck.

Leo, can you please help me? Can you please help me?

- I can help you back up. - Can't we go forward?

- I can't get it to change. - Get out.

I'll get you up to the stop sign.

Will and James were a plumbing issue.

They clogged the ramp.

Get out of the way.

We know they U-Turned us,

and I was enjoying the image of their misfortune

in the parking lot, but our priority was just getting them

out of the way. We don't want to be

in a position where anyone, including them,

thinks that we are being petty or vindictive,

but we remember.

Baby, we need to go.

Just go around, okay? We got to go. Let's go!

Come on, Leo!

Hurry. Come on.

- Are you okay? - No.

We need to go.

Come on, come on.

Deep breaths, baby.

Let's go, let's go.

Thank you, Leo.

- Go ahead, go ahead. - My God.

I'm trying to go

to the gas but it's not working!

Be one with the car, my love.

You got it.

My God. My God.

I don't know what to do.

You need to focus.

Is your foot on the clutch?

I'm starting in third gear.

I was pushing

the stick into third gear instead of first gear.

- Baby, you got this. - Thank you.

I love you. It's fine.

And after I figured that out,

we were good to go.

Just keep it easy.

We're getting on A1. Good job, Chee.

- Which way? - I don't know. Exit.

- Yay, we're out of the parking lot. - All right.

- Whoa. All right. - God. Okay.

- We're going, we're going. - We're going, awesome.

All right, here we go. Right here.

Wow. This is incredible.

Look at this place.

- Clue box. - Let's do it!

- Roadblock. - "Who has an eye for art?"

The Château Chantilly is a perfect example

of a picture saying a thousand words.

An exquisite crown jewel, that has the second largest

collection of antique paintings next to the Louvre.

This Roadblock gives teamsa chance to study them up close,

when they try to match a person depicted

in one of these paintings with a real-life person

who's turned up here to the château for a party.

There are nine partygoers

that match nine paintings in every detail.

Once they make one match,

they'll need to make a

to get a clue.

- You got this. - Yeah, I got it.

I thought Riley would be the best for the Roadblock

'cause he's better at attention to detail.

We're good.

Holy...

Okay, go for it. You got it.

I enter the château and

we're in an art museum. There's essentially

a party going on and everyone's wearing

a bunch of different costumes.

- Excusez-moi. - That was quite an experience.

Whoa. Wow.

My God, you're kidding me.

Come on.

With the Roadblock, what you had to do,

was look in the art gallery,

find a character, match them up

with someone in the party,

and state who was the painter of that particular character.

Okay.

The problem was, there was so much art

in the art gallery, it was just crazy.

And I started stressing a little bit.

Shoot.
