Previously on "The Amazing Race," 10 teams raced from England to Accra Ghana.
This is crazy.
A million people here.
Is this a joke?
In a crowded marketplace they tried to make the deal.
Gorgeous, darling.
Dewpoint to buy that?
Please, I'm asking you.
Stop, what?
I think I got jacked for some sunglasses.
At the detour, Brook and Claire hammered home their lead and finished in first.
You are team number one!
While birth mom and daughter Andie and Jenna bid a tearful good-bye.
I'm sorry to tell you, you have been eliminated from the race.
Nine teams remain.
Nine teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?
This is Accra, capital city of Ghana, and in the heart
of Accra, Kaneshie market.
Comprised of more than 2,000 vendors, it's one of the
largest markets in west Africa and was the sec pit stop in a
base around the... the second pit stop in a race around the world.
Brook and Claire, the first to arrive, will be first to depart 34 A.M.
Make your way to the academy.
They must find this area and the Akotoku boxing academy.
Jamestown.
It's a place where they box.
Yes!
Akotoku academy.
Here we go.
Tax keasey!
Taxi!
Find the Atoku academy.
Physically it's hard for us to match up with these other teams
in their 20's or 30's, you know, and he's... and he's 59.
Jamestown.
I know Jamestown.
We have to play smart.
To us, this is worth more than the $1 million we're competing for.
We want to stay in each leg to experience these different countries.
We're here?
Boxing, Claire, it's boxing!
We've got a bunch of burly men.
Roadblock.
You've got a rocky road ahead.
Here in Ghana, boxing is the most popular sport after
soccer and boxing gyms like this appear in neighborhoods
throughout the couldn't arery.
In a place that has produced several world champions, one
team member must learn to properly wrap their hands
before suiting up in training gear.
Next, they must work then speed bag for 60 seconds and jump
rope for 60 seconds.
When they master both exercises... it's good.
The trainer will give them their next clue.
Can I do it?
Yes.
Claire and I train at a boxing facility.
I'm like, I've got this one.
Come on.
He looks mean.
Come on.
If Brook gets in the ring with the other guys, I'm scared for the other guy.
He's going so fast, Claire.
You got this, Brook.
Wrast the Akotoku academy?
Over there.
Why didn't he say he didn't know where it was?
I don't know.
You've $146 for this leg of the race.
Do you know where that is?
Yes.
Thank you.
Here we go.
Find the Akotoku academy.
Taxi!
Thank you, sir.
You have $146 for this leg of the race.
Let's go.
As fast as you can.
What's your name?
Samson.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Jonathan.
I'm Connor.
Follow him.
Watch your fingers.
There you go.
Good job.
I think you got this.
Good job.
That's a good luck kiss.
Sweet talk the boxer.
Show 'em what you're made of.
Thank you, coach.
I like you.
Come on, Chad.
Here comes another team.
You can do it.
Trainer.
Akotoku.
There it is.
Quickly.
There's the clue box.
You've got a rocky road ahead.
I'll do it.
Trainer, trainer.
Time.
What's ex?
Rope, rope, rope.
That hat looks really good on you.
This is the chance for you go get ahead.
Maybe someday we can box in the ring.
Good job.
Thank you, coach.
Drive by taxi to the Dadu district.
Teams must travel by taxi and locate this supply depot where they find their
next clue.
We're in a big hurry again.
You knocked that one out, no pun intended.
Looks good.
Yeah, let's go.
This guy is asking where Akotoku academy is.
Chop chop.
We good?
Back over there.
Better that you do it now.
Thank you for asking.
Samson, can you pass these people?
Please drive faster.
♪ Please drive faster ♪
Those are our friends.
Don't let them beat us.
♪ We love Samson ♪
I love you too.
Find the Akotoku academy.
We knew there would be times when we're at the bottom.
We have a strategy to never give up.
Part of the things we learned through what we do for a living
is, when things get bad, you have to work harder.
That's not when you give up.
I hope we don't get loss.
You can make up time with a good driver but with a bad one,
you can lose the game.
Find the academy.
Our strategy is still to... communicate.
Communication is huge.
Cut without communication, you have no race.
How far away is it, do you think?
Akotoku academy.
Let's go.
We're starting in last place but we said today, we're going to move up.
We had all our bad luck out of our system with the flat tire
and broken down cab, wear ready to have a good day.
Yeah!
We got a driver.
I like to think I'm pretty good at jump roping.
He is.
Let me show the tricks here.
I was bouncing around.
Showing off caused him to trip up on the jump rope.
When he tripped up, he had to start over again.
Yes!
Thank you.
Chad keep going.
She didn't look as good as I did though.
That's all he cares about.
Travel by taxi to the Dadu district.
Come on!
The Oadu district.
Taxi!
Stop, Samson.
The girls are right there.
Come on.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Over there.
Clue box.
Come on.
Roadblock.
Looks like boxing.
I'll do it.
I got this.
I decided to do the roadblock because I thought it would be very physical.
You'll be my trainer?
Let's do it.
My dad probably would have been tire after, it's 98 degrees.
Go, go, go.
Now we're going to the dombings dau district.
Start over?
Definitely.
I got it.
That's it.
I'm going to do this one.
Go for it, Connor.
Over.
Concentrate.
I got it.
There's Atoku academy.
I can jump rope.
You do it.
Way to go!
I got it.
Let's go.
Oh!
Just do it normally.
I thought I could do the double Dutch.
You know Muhammad?
Yes, I know.
Good job.
Thank you.
Connor.
Travel by taxi to the daodau district.
We're lost.
We're in last place.
It's the doctors they missed it, they passed it.
We want to get around them.
Get around them.
Behind us in the taxi is Katie and Rachel and Chad and Stephanie.
Stop, stop, stop.
Let me ask them.
We've got to go.
Lose them, move.
The blue team they're lost and blocking us from leaving.
Have you gotten your second clue?
Turn around.
It's back there.
Sit down, I will drive.
You dumb doctor.
Please can we turn around right now.
This way.
Can we turn around here.
Sir.
No.
Please can we turn around right now.
Stop.
Sir, can we turn around and go that way.
This way.
No, back where we were.
Yes.
This is hurting us, exactly.
Ok.
You give me the clue.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Good job.
Good job, dad.
Please say that's good.
It's good.
Nice, nice, nice.
Yes!
We caught them.
You have to turn, then go straight.
You know where now?
Yes.
Good job, good job.
Yeah!
Good job, dad.
We have one team ahead of us that was behind us.
Yeah!
Dodau district.
You're good.
It's ok.
60 seconds.
Come on, baby.
Rip it open.
Find the supply.
They're here.
Is this our taxi?
Good job, dude.
You killed that.
We're in a race.
You've got a rocky road ahead.
Let's do it.
Oh, man.
A herd of very large beasts.
Look at those yaks.
Can you pass, Samson?
We have to go faster.
Oh!
That made my heart drop.
That's what we need.
That's music to our ears.
Yes!
Nice job, Nat.
Travel to the dodoa district.
We've had bad cab mojo so far today.
Hopefully it's turning around now.
We're looking for the supply depot.
Right there.
Perfect.
Let's go, let's go.
Here's the clue box.
Route info.
Teams must choose a pair of wheelbarrows and load them
with construction supplies.
Then they'll take them to this primary school and deliver it
to the to the foreman.
If they deliver the right supplies, they get a clue.
I'm going to put bricks in this one.
Two shovels, two brooms.
Two trowels two scrapers.
Now to the primary school.
Not a big wheelbarrow guy.
We have been really slow getting here.
We've got to hurry.
Shoot.
You ok, Johnny?
It's tough.
This is really hard.
It's hot.
We've got bikes in our wheelbarrows, dirt road.
We've got to go to this guy.
We have your supplies.
Thank you.
Time for a pop quick.
Covering more than 11 million square miles, Africa is
the second largest continent on earth.
In a place this big, our team's greatest challenge could be
figuring out exactly where they are.
Entering a village classroom, teams will be tested on their
knowledge of African geography.
When they come up with the correct answers, the class
monitor will hand them their next clue.
Come on, push it.
Hi, guys.
Sorry we're late.
Geography.
Ethiopia.
Very good, give it to him.
Another person show us Ghana.
Please to do that for us.
No, no, no.
African geography is either of... neither of our strong points.
It wasn't our major.
No, no, no.
It was pretty embarrassing that we're in a country we can't pick out on a map.
This is so hard.
Our friends at Princeton are probably going to grill us for that.
It's south more.
Supply depot.
Choose a pair of wheelbarrows and load them with construction supplies.
You got that?
I've got it.
Ghana once more.
Process of elimination.
Very good.
Yes!
We knew it!
Thank you very much.
Princeton is a good school, I swear.
There's an African studies major.
Detour bicycle parts or language arts.
After a long day of school or work, villagers take
part in the past times passed down by their elders.
To fit in, teams must educate themselves on one of two
things, bicycle parts or language arts.
In bicycle part they plern to... learn to play a children's
game seen throughout Africa.
They must use a stick to roll a bicycle rim on the uneven terrain.
If they roll it all the way down the soccer field and back
without letting it fall, the schoolchildren will give them their next clue.
In language arts, teams choose a proverb containing eight highlights phrases.
Each phrase has a corresponding symbol in a native visual alphabet.
Teams then go to this decorative cloth and like a word search game find all the
symbols appearing in the correct quens in order to receive the clue.
We'll try toe decoder.
Come on.
Right there, duh.
We pick one.
In Phil we trust.
Let's look over here.
Right here.
Here we go.
Kidney beans first.
We found the decoder, wrote on our eight symbol system and
started to search on this giant map.
Now we have to find them.
The first three are what?
Kidney bean, ladder, crazy.
What we did first was looked for the second symbol in our
system, a ladder, we thought that was easy to spot, kind of
stuck out in the eye, we said look for ladders, then other ones.
Bemethodical.
It's ok, we're good.
We got this.
Ready team?
Here we go.
No.
Brook, we need another wheelbarrow.
Are you sure?
Got to take it back?
Oh, this is really going to suck.
Get the clue, get the clue.
Let's get the supplies.
This is it.
Choose a pair of wheelbarrows.
I don't think we need two.
It says a pair.
They have one.
Well they're idiots.
They only have one wheelbarrow, don't say anything to them.
Forgot something?
Yeah.
Here you go, Bammer.
They did one.
They took one.
We don't know if the car is overheating or what the problem is.
Should we get another taxi?
We can go.
You're ok?
It's been an eventful taxi day.
So we have three behind us.
There's the Jersey girls.
That's another team.
Run them over.
Just kidding.
You're way stronger than that.
Keep focused.
They were first.
We going to do the wheelbarrows?
Probably.
We need to give it to the foreman.
Please check our stuff.
Two trucks.
We'll go get the other truck.
The girls didn't tell us.
Let's go.
Clue box.
Choose a pair of wheelbarrows and load them up with construction supplies.
Two wheelbarrows?
Yes.
Get two brooms.
One bag of cement.
Two shovels.
Two bags of concrete, one each.
Turn here.
No.
Two trowels.
Did you read the two trowels?
You have to be mentally tough right now.
Being volleyball teammates we know how to talk to each
other in a stressful situation, she's not afraid to be like,
Rachel, move, because I know it's not an attack.
Let's run, ok.
Connor, I think I have it.
Kidney bean, ladder.
Crazy Chinese.
Yay!
Can I give you a hug?
Make your way to the house... teams must make rare they
out they have school and search for the home of Awusa Nitso,
it's the pit stop for this leg of the race.
The last team to check in here may be eliminated.
Come on, Connor.
Yes!
Welcome to Ghana.
Thank you so much.
Connor and Jonathan.
Yes, Phil?
You are team number one.
I do have some good news, you have won $5,000 each, which you
can use to spend after the race.
So we can buy maps of Africa and know where we're going.
We did it!
Everyone is behind us.
I know.
Thanks for telling us.
Breathe through the process.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Hi, how are you?
I like sitting with the kids.
Growing up in the states we aren't given to the opportunity
to... we are given to beautiful schools and have nice paint on
the walls and things we take for granted and they go to school in a shack.
Ghana.
Oh, Ghana is down below, I think it's in here.
It's not correct.
Ok.
Hopefully when we actually get there, we'll see how many
people if there is anyone still there.
Fingers crossed.
Come on, honey.
Good job reading it.
It's fifth grade reading.
That's a joke.
Awesome!
Go to the new schoolhouse.
All right.
Go, I'm sorry, babe.
I don't give a... about your sorries bs to be honest with you.
Let's go.
We had it in the bag.
You have no common sense in you have no common sense in your whole body.
Hurry up.
Let's go.
I'm trying.
I'm pissed.
I know you are, get over it.
I ain't getting over it until we see Phil and he says we're not last.
I'm sorry.
Is that going to keep us from losing now.
Hello, we're ready for our pop quiz.
Have a seat.
In the school-yard today, the kids all have a smile on
their face they look so happy.
Egypt.
I know.
When you get to a place like this, you see these people and
I feel so bad for them, and you think to yourself, this is
their way of life and they don't know any different.
We don't know any different except freedom an justice and luxury.
Ghana.
Ok, give it to them.
Good job.
Let's do bicycle.
Bye, guys, have fun.
Let's find the classroom.
Right here.
Can I stop here?
We're good.
Let's go.
Thank you so much.
It's time for a pop quiz.
Let's go.
See how they're doing it.
Hey, guys.
There's the rim, here's the stick.
Come on.
Keep it up dad, come on.
Keep it up.
Jesus, I need your help.
Did you get yours?
I got it.
Let's go.
I'm trying.
Trying putting it inside.
Those litting boys just sailing along with it.
I was like, Jesus, you've got to help me right now.
Let's go.
Can we have our clue?
Time for a pop quiz.
Let's go the supply depot.
Thank you.
There's the clue box.
One two three.
Does this look easy, it's really easy.
One of you show us Ghana.
Come on.
Go, Katie.
You got this, Bam.
Very good.
Give it to him.
Let's go.
It's correct.
Fine.
Yes!
Here you go, Bammer.
I say we do the word one.
Bicycle parts or language arts.
We're good at word searches.
Bicycle parts or language arts.
Let's do language arts.
Doe tour.
Thank you.
Pop quiz.
Let's go, come on.
I'm trying.
Ok, right here.
Get away from them so we can concentrate.
Come on, come on.
How do we figure this out?
We get a poem and it has eight bold word phrases.
Then you have all these little African children playing little
games and I see there's a group of eight of them so I'm like,
oh my gosh, I think we have to circle small African children.
And then for no rhyme or reason, the other teams are like, circle, circle.
It's utter chaos.
They're looking at me like... why are you circling us with chalk.
What is this over here?
And we look to our right and see we see a map a huge symbol map.
We're like, oh, maybe the small African children don't have
anything to do with it.
I thought it was going to be like a cross word puzzle.
I don't understand this at all.
A decoder key is provided for reference.
Did you find the decoder key?
They're not going to tell you, they're against us.
We are trying to find the decoder.
Do you know what a decoder key is?
No.
I kept picking up children's textbooks, this is their
homework, I picked up other maps, I didn't find anything anywhere.
Have you found the decoder key?
Deep your eyes peeled.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
All right, dewpoint to try the other thing.
Let's go over there, come on.
Hi.
Ghana.
Thank you.
Detour.
We're going to do language arts.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Good job, dad.
Right here.
Stay behind.
Come on.
Good job.
You kicked butt, Mel.
Make your way to the next pit stop.
Let's walk.
We're tire bud not giving up.
We're almost there.
I really hope you say we did what you wanted.
Yes?
Good.
It's time for a pop quiz.
Dad, come here.
This is the dumbest freaking crap ever.
We have no clue what we're looking for and what to even circle with our chalk.
Do you think we should go?
Ok.
Come on, come on.
Ghana.
I'll try.
Think before you put that thing down.
It's on the Western, on the left.
There I think.
No, please.
How do we not know where Ghana is?
Are we that stupid?
We couldn't low gate Ghana on the map.
It's the far left.
We're the dumbest people on earth, literally.
It's like no, no, no.
All these little kids are laughing at us.
No, no, no.
I felt like so stupid.
We can't be this stupid.
I think it's more down, baby.
We'll do bicycle parts.
Hello, teacher.
Hi, guys.
Would you like gaw nafment ok, we're good.
Bravo.
I think I'm leaning toward language arts, we can figure
things out a little bit easier.
Thank you guys, bye.
Gary and Mallory, you're team number two.
Great, nothing broke down today.
I got it.
Go, go, go.
Look what they're doing.
Grab a stick.
But hold on.
I don't care what that says.
Let's watch the kids.
Look at that little kid.
Being around those kids, watching them play, it's comforting to have that,
children are just amazing.
Around the world, regardless of where you are, children are children.
They are so pure and they see the world in such an honest way
and that nothing is bad out there.
You can do this.
Focus.
Doing good.
You're almost halfway.
Stephanie, get a bigger stick.
Get a bigger stick, babe.
Why are you going to give me directions?
Just do it.
Keep going, Chad, you're going awesome.
Good job.
Gouff got to be kidding me, something so stupid like this.
Don't throw.
Shut up.
Why don't you hurry up.
Why are you being so rude?
You need to do it, go.
Don't discourage me.
Keep going Stephanie, you're doing awesome.
Awesome, I love it.
It's ok.
What's ok about this.
It's ok to you, but it's not ok to me, so that makes it not ok.
Keep the speed, Stephanie, keep pushing it.
Good job.
Keep going.
Awesome.
Whoo!
What did I tell you?
Let's go, let's go.
Make your way on foot to the next pit stop.
Good job, Stephanie.
We're going good.
Where's the decoder key.
Let's watch the other team for a minute.
I don't think we're getting the symbols right.
That's why I wonder if we should do the other one.
Let's go try.
This is horrible.
Let's not panic.
Let's be really calm and let's figure this out.
Chad and Stephanie.
You are team number three.
Good job, babe.
Good job, Katie.
Good job.
Thank God.
You did so haw Ahh sm.
Yeah, babe.
Now back.
Let's watch and learn.
Do we give up, switch challenges?
We've been doing this for a little while.
If we can do that one relatively quickly.
They went to do the other one.
We have to figure this out.
Come on, you got this.
Speak softly and carry a big stick.
There's little kids everywhere, they're all really nice and
they look excited to be meeting us.
The kids are awesome, they're the best part of the day.
Yes!
Rachel yes!
Yay!
We're the last team.
Let's go, let's go.
This is ridiculous.
Hurry up!
I can't breathe.
My asthma kicked in super bad, my adrenaline was going, I
had to go back and forth and I was frustrated on top of that.
It's all right, take a break, you're ok.
Arms above your head, open up your lungs.
Once I saw that, I tried to calm myself down to where I could be there for her.
You need to hydrate yourself.
I'm starting to lose it.
I know, I'm losing my mind here.
Should we go?
I say we just try it.
Our eyes are deceiving us.
Dewpoint to give up on this one?
I can do that, I don't know if you can do that?
We can try.
Dad you have to think you can do this if you want to do this.
Katie and Rachel, you are team number four.
You got this, honey.
I know, I got it.
You got it.
Take your time.
You're good, you're fine.
Now just pace yourself.
You got this, Bam.
I got this.
Keep going.
Yeah.
That's my girl, let's low thank the lord.
What's up, buddy.
Good job.
Did I make it?
You made it.
I think the key is to move fast.
Got it.
You're already there.
Come on, babe, you're doing good.
Go, Brook, go.
Come on dad.
Stay consistent.
That's my girl.
Whoo!
I'm so excited.
I felt kind of crappy for treating her the way I did, she didn't deserve it.
Make your way on foot to the next pit stop.
Hurry, Brook.
Here you go, Bammer.
Claire, you got this.
Good job, Thomas, you're doing awesome.
I'm so proud of you.
Yes!
We got to hurry.
Nice work, keep it moving.
Thomas got it.
Come on, honey, run it down.
Nick and Vickie, you are team number five.
Brook and Claire, that means you are team number six.
So tomorrow, you guys come back to the school work the other
teams and the area where you were doing the puzzle challenge
and do some remodeling of the classrooms and give back to the community.
Are you all right with that?
We would be honored.
That's awesome.
All right, Nat.
Nice job.
Come on in.
Give me a big hug.
Make your way... honey, let's go.
All right.
Stay focused.
Come on, dad.
You're doing such a good job.
Keep going, dad, don't worry about it.
Come on, Kat.
Keep going, dad.
I can't.
Don't worry about it.
Just do your thing.
You got it.
I can't Kevin.
Can't give up, dad.
Good job, Kat.
Thank you very much.
Make your way on foot to the next pit stop.
We need to follow a marked footpath.
Don't quit dad, just finish.
The girls aren't at the pit stop.
Take a break.
I don't think I can go back.
You have to at least try.
Take it slow.
If it takes you 30 minutes, it takes you 30 minutes.
You can do it.
If you fin irn now, we might be able to catch them.
Come on, let's finish this.
Sorry, Kevin.
I don't think I can go back.
You have to at least try.
Just take it slow.
I can't.
For my dad, it was very tough and it was painful to watch.
It's 9... it's 98 degrees, he can't breathe, he started to
feel dizzy from the sun and being' de-hydrated, he had to get medical help.
Take whatever time you need.
I'm disappointed.
I am the one to cause us to be in last place.
I didn't do it.
It's ok, dad.
It's all right.
No.
It's all right.
I'm sorry Kevin.
I feel so bad.
It's not your fault.
Why don't you guys complete my sentence.
We're team 7.
Hey, we're happy.
There's a bicycle that just went that way.
I don't know, there should be a marked path here, right?
There should be a marker at one of the turnoffs.
Ok, let's go.
Ok.
I want to show my son that we are a team.
I think this race is really about that.
I mean no matter how difficult, you should finish what you start.
I can show my son to go to the finish line.
You'll stay?
I'll stay with you.
Go slow, you're doing great.
Can I ask you a question?
Any question.
The ohm orb... this way here.
Over here?
Across the street?
Yes.
Thank you.
Look for a marker.
The stand is too slippery.
It's ok, take your time, just finish it.
Take your time.
I don't see any markers.
There's a goat marker.
The mark of the goat.
Just a little bit more.
Good, dad.
Get a drink you did it.
There's the clue.
Make your way on foot to the next pit stop.
You ready?
I'm ready to be eliminated.
It's ok.
Let's go behind here.
There's a path back there we wasted so much time.
Let's go, dad.
Let's go.
Wait for me.
Good job, good job, keep up.
Oh, my God.
Finally, one marker.
Let's go, dad.
Dad, we're almost there.
Let's go.
Nat and Kat, you are team number eight.
You are still in the race.
Guys, tomorrow, when you're at the pit stop, you're going to
come back to this school and do a little renovation at this school.
Great.
Get a chance to give back to the community here.
That would be awesome.
Looking forward to it.
Good job, dad.
Welcome to Ghana.
Thank you.
Michael and Kevin.
I'm sorry to tell you that you are the last team to arrive.
We know.
You have been eliminate ched.
It was my fault my body gave out.
I wanted to travel to as many places as I could with my son.
Guys, there is actually some good news for coming in last.
No way.
This is a nonelimination leg, you are still in the race.
See, that's why you don't give up.
Kevin, I'm sorry.
It's ok.
Ok, let's go.
Good news.
Thank you, Phil.
Because you're the last team to arrive, you do have a
speed bump you have to complete in the next leg of the race.
It's a challenge only you have to complete.
I'm proud of my dad, for him to finish and us to be in a
nonelimination leg, was very important.
I'm motivated even more now.
I feel like we shouldn't have lost this leg and there's still
a will the of room for us to a will the of room for us to grow.
Next week on "the amazing race," teams move from Africa
to the arctic where they experience thrills... I'm having fun.
Oh, God.
And spills.
Stephanie, let's go!
I'm done.
