The Amazing Race

Previously onThe Amazing Race,

six teams raced to Corsica, France.

At the detour, Kim and Penn set the pace.

Oh, yeah, we got the right horse for sure.

Okay, see you down there, guys.

-Yup. -We're gonna have a great day, Duke.

Ryan and Dusty

faced unfamiliar territory.

Raquel and Cayla just passed us

for the first time ever.

-We got to go do the other thing, man. Yeah.

We are switching challenges.

Akbar struggled at a physical Roadblock...

...setting the stage for Ryan's comeback.

Let's pass that other team, baby.

Yo, Ryan!

Oh, my God.

Kim and Penn paddled their way to victory...

Oh, Fun Kim!

-You are team number one. - : Yes!

...while Akbar and Sheri came up short.

I am sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated

from the race.

After spending the night here on the banks

of the Tavignano River,

Kim and Penn and Raquel and Cayla

will be the first to depart

and drive south an hour and a half

to this 16th century watchtower,

where they'll be treated to a local delicacy.

This rotten fromage is brought to life

with these little cheesemakers--

live maggots.

"Route Info.

"Drive yourself to the Tour de Fautea.

"Once there, each of you try a piece

of Corsica's other famous cheese."

-"You have ten euros this leg of the race." -Go.

It did say "drive yourself," right? Yeah.

Winning the last leg

really helped us because there was a trend developing

that no one was crazy about--

Dusty and Ryan finishing first.

And there was this,

like, kind of brick wall feeling.

Like, how-how do you get ahead of these guys?

Well, we can.

Okrrr. -Whew.

Oh!

Oh, convertibles.

Oh, my God.

-Oh. -This car's amazing,

We get to keep this, right?

Driving in luxury.

This is a nice car. -Yeah.

-I vote you let them lead, personally. -Okay.

-You go first. -Okay.

Hey, you got this, okay?

We're leaving in group number one,

and we are pumped.

Second is the best place that we have landed.

You only have to win first once

to win the million dollars, but, yeah,

it definitely would be nice to win some money.

-I love you. -I love you, too.

One of the hardest parts about COVID for us is,

we both had to move back into our parents' house.

Being 30 years old, the last thing we expected...

-Was to lose our job, move in with our moms. -Yeah.

It's definitely been financially tough,

emotionally tough, and

we're ready to have some money.

Yeah. -Gosh, that would be so nice.

- - Baby!

Look at us, babe.

We're driving to Corsica.

-Just a regular old Saturday. -I'm gonna... You know what?

-I'm gonna try to enjoy myself on this drive. -Yeah.

This is awesome!

This is freaking beautiful.

We're driving in this gorgeous

-island in France with our top down. -

This is how I would prefer to travel.

I don't want to go too far

without asking somebody something.

-Oh, there's a person. -A person.

There's a person.

There's a person. There's a person.

Bonjour.

Penn speaks French, uh, so

he's asking the gentleman in French...

-It's all straight. Just straight, straight.

This is where it is.

Tour de Fautea?

That is Fautea.

Thank you, Penn.

-Do you want to follow him? -Yes.

Hey, that worked out well.

Thank you, high school French.

Once we get to the challenge,

we're gonna get ahead of Kim and Penn

-on the challenge. -I want to lead the challenge this time.

-We're coming in first today. -Cayla,

we are coming in first today.

Today is our day!

-Let's go. -Go time, baby.

"Drive yourselves to Tour de Fautea."

"Once there, each of you try a piece of Corsica's other..."

"Famous cheese."

Okay.

Yee-haw.

It's our first chance to leave with the second group.

That's not good. -It's not good. I feel like

the last leg, I was stressed and thinking about everything else

other than what's got us here.

Let's go.

Anybody can be taken

from first to worst or worst to first.

That's the reality you got to face

in this race, and you can't let that beat you up.

We just need to get back to what we know how to do,

and that's sticking together

and, uh, breaking our foot off in people.

So I'm super confident coming in today.

Let's look for a town.

Go, go.

Let's follow them.

The last leg definitely gave us a lot of momentum.

We've always been in the bottom, so to finish fourth,

ahead of two teams, was really a good morale booster.

-Start looking at the map. -Yeah.

Everyone knows we're not great at self-driving.

We have to step up our navigation this leg because

there's only five teams left.

So there's no room for error.

I feel cool in this car.

-Yeah. -It's the first time I drive a convertible.

We're following each other, so we're all three behind.

Okay, but the plan is, we're gonna follow them.

-The plan is to just... -Once we get there,

we haul ass to the cheese.

Looking for a tower.

We should be kind of close.

-Is that the tower thing we're going to? -Maybe.

"Camping Fautea." Yeah, this is it.

Uh, parking. There was a parking sign, so let's turn.

Oh, there's... -Fautea.

That says "camping."

-Should we do that? -I see... Do you see...?

-You see a sign? -Yes, yes, yes, yes, go, go, go.

Yes, yes, yes, go, go, go. Go. Okay.

Turn right. Turn right.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

-Let's do a Louie. -Okay.

Do you think they already found it-- the girls?

-I don't know. I don't know. -Yeah.

-Yeah, they probably already did. -Yeah, they did.

-Right here? -It's got to be. And then there's the path.

-We got to put our bags in the back. -Okay. Yeah.

We followed Kim and Penn there,

and they missed the turn, so we were ahead of them.

-You want to run? -Yeah.

Kim and Penn are a very strong team, so as much

as the race can give people opportunities to mess up,

-I'm all for taking those. -Yeah.

-Parking, okay, right, right. -Mm-hmm.

And the girls are already here.

I got all the directions, and then

they went in and, like, jetted ahead of us.

And I was like, "Aw."

Like, they followed us

all the way down here and then passed us.

-They are our competition in this race. -Yup.

And I would love to make it to the final

-three with them. -And then beat them.

-We're going all the way to that thing. -Yup.

Oh, my God, it's beautiful.

Oh, my God, it's gorgeous.

Holy shoot.

Look at this. Stunning.

Give me some cheese, baby.

Hi. Oh. -

Hi.

Please tell me your cheese is good.

-Ah. -Ah. Oh, it smells good. Mwah.

Ooh.

Careful.

What is in that?

-Are those bugs? -I don't know.

Are those bugs? Uh-huh. Those are bugs.

That's, like, maggots. -They're good for us.

They're protein. I'll eat it first.

-Buono. -Thank you. Ah.

That's dry.

: Don't breathe it in.

Don't breathe it in?

-Okay. -Gonna throw up.

-Thank you very much. - : Mmm, thank you.

Almost there.

Okay.
