The Amazing Race

Previously on The Amazing Race...

Seven teams raced to Dordogne, France.

This is all I wanted!

Glenda and Lumumba crashed.

Oh! Oh, no!

But a Good Samaritan got the newlyweds back on course.

After Michael made some mistakes...

Guess I'm overthinking this.

-He left his keys. - This is awful.

...Marcus' navigational skills...

As a tank commander, I'm not a stranger to a map.

...secured a victory for the military brothers.

And you are number one.

As elimination loomed,

Aubrey and David felt the pressure.

David, I am trying!

But it was Glenda and Lumumba who bid farewell.

I'm sorry to tell you you have been eliminated from the race.

-We know. We know. -We know.

Guess where you're staying tonight.

Uh, hopefully up here.

You get to choose where you stay.

You will be using the Expedia app.

Expedia app has lots of amazing choices.

-Yeah. -Time to book a hotel.

Let's do it.

-Hey. -So that's the Expedia app.

-Yeah, let's see what hotels we can find. -Okay.

Searching hundreds of properties.

That one looks good.

Two travelers, one room, two beds.

Two beds, please.

-Okay. And booked. So easy. -Easy.

"Route Info."

"Drive to Toulouse, France."

Teams will now drive themselves just over the horizon

across the lush French countryside,

100 miles to Toulouse.

This city's distinctive architectural designs

have earned it the nickname the Pink City

because of its uniquely colored bricks.

"Once there, find the Stade Toulousain for your next clue."

Okay. Let's go. Let's go.

-Stadium Toulousain. -All right, Toulouse, here we come.

-Okay, we've got to get the map. -Do you have the key?

It's unlocked.

This is into Toulouse proper right here?

Yeah, that's Toulouse proper.

There might be a left here

-Yeah, it's on the left. -to get out of here.

Last leg, we finished in first place.

I think a lot of that was attributed

to performing well, like,

-navigating to places. -And driving places.

We could probably do better on challenges, though.

Yeah, for sure.

Last leg, I had some careless errors after the Roadblock.

Hopefully we'll rectify that today.

Mistake-free. -Yeah.

We wanted this leg to be mistake-free.

How are you feeling?

We haven't run much, so I'm feeling okay right now.

Running and impact

is something that really irritates my knee,

so we got to be careful.

Yeah.

Rip it. Okay. "Route Info."

"Once there, find the Stade Toulousain

for your next clue."

Yeah, baby! Let's go.

Think it'd be a good strategy

to work with Derek and Claire today,

um, and just figure out at least the first location,

so we get the ball rolling.

This is us, like, right around here?

No, right here. -Yeah, yeah.

What highways go into it?

Oh, Claire. I see A20. Wait, guys.

Okay, A20 goes all the way down here.

Does it keep going? And it goes to Toulouse, right here.

This is Toulouse.

All right, guys. Yo, that was killer.

That was quick.

-Luis gave me a thumbs up. -Okay.

I gave him half a heart.

Aw. And he gave me the other half.

Cute.

Luis and Derek have a bromance going on,

-so that might be a positive thing.

He's my bro. He's my brochacho.

- He's my dude, man.

I love Derek. He's hilarious.

When we start getting close,

Claire has to read out to me

where we're going,

and I just have a pretty bad memory.

So now she's gonna pass me little love notes

-that tell us where we're going. -Uh...

We're trying to do a lot of small things to improve,

and hopefully it'll add up

-to a win today. -Yeah.

We weren't happy with our fourth-place finish last leg.

I feel like there was a lot of pressure on us.

We weren't having as much fun.

Last night, Michelle had a dream with her dad.

Her dad passed away ten years ago.

She had a dream that we went home in the middle of the race

and her dad was home

-and told her how proud he was of her. -Yeah.

Every time we start the race, I have this

huge hole in my stomach that I can't take away.

And now I'm feeling so much better,

like, just bringing us back into that

"having a good time" moment.

Let's do this, guys.

"Route Info."

-"Drive to Toulouse, France." -

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Just based off the last leg, we didn't get lost.

We just took a different route.

So I think today, staying calm again,

staying cool, staying cute and staying collected.

On top of, like, looking at the map and saying,

"Okay, if this is where we have to get,

what's the fastest way to get there?"

Instead of just taking the first route you see.

Have you found this yet or no?

No, I haven't.

There's just so many maps.

Last leg, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves.

We handle pressure differently,

and that's when we start to clash.

So today, we decided we're just gonna enjoy and

speak nicely,

- -as David asked me to do.

- -Agreed.

Do you want to switch?

I feel like you're gonna be better at this than I am.

-You want to switch now? -Yeah.

Go.

-Driving like the French. -Driving like the French.

So now I'm on the D49, Mattie.

According to my calculations,

if you just stay on this the whole time,

it's gonna drop you off in Toulouse.

That's for sure the fastest way?

It's a straight shot.

We're going as straight as possible.

Got you.

The main route is a couple kilometers, um, east of us.

David is really good at the smaller things.

He's really good at the intricacy.

And that's what a map is. It's-it's so intricate.

Make a left towards Cahors, okay? -Okay.

Now this is the A20.

We're gonna take this all the way down.

What do we want to do?

'Cause this is either a left or right.

I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking.

All right.

I think we want E80. I think we want E80.

You sure, Marcus?

-E72 to Toulouse-Centre or E80? -I want E80.

Are you sure?

Just keep following signs for Toulouse.

You want me to get into this line here?

-E72? -Yeah.

"Toulouse-Centre."

-Do you want me to exit? -Yeah.

We don't want to keep going south.

"Stade Toulousain"?

Yes. Yes. -Sweet.

"Parking Lot B."

-High five, Sis. -

Let's go.

We're the first ones here?

I don't know. I'm so confused.

-Here we go. -Okay.

"Roadblock."

"Who's Ready to Take One For the Team?"

-I will. -Okay.

This is the home stadium to Europe's most successful

club rugby team, Stade Toulousain--

five-time European champions,

21-time champions of France.

In this Roadblock, teams must complete a rugby drill

with Stade Toulousain's champion pro women's rugby team.

Yeah!

- On the whistle,

teams must run, roll...

...pick up, pass, catch...

-...and score a dropkick to receive their next clue. -

All right, Molly's gonna do it.

Emily's physical condition is not at 100% at the moment.

I'm also, I think, the more athletic of the two.

Got a warm-up run in.

We're the first to arrive to the Roadblock.

Molly is going to be playing rugby.

First, we had to tackle a big dummy.

I tackle, roll...
