This is Los Angeles. Once a desolate valley.
It is now the most populated county in the United States.
And in the hills surrounding this city of angels,
world-famous tourist attractionings, including the
Griffith observatory, a window to the stars.
Built in the 1930's, this cultural and scientific icon
will now serve as the starting line in a race around the
world. These 11 new teams now have
their chance to win $1 million and "The Amazing Race."
The 11 teams are... Chuck and wynona.
Married 15 years, from Alabama. Wynona and I are a cross
between red neck and country. When someone says man, you're
sporting a mullet I was like what's a mull set?
My Sampson hair. You cut it I'll lose my power.
I very much love doing taxidermy.
It's become an obsession along with hunting.
There's nothing like being able to go out there, kill the
animal, eat the animal, mount the animal and keep the
- memories on your wall forever. - Bates and Anthony,
brothers and professional hockey players from north
Carolina. I played professional hockey
for 15 years. I played for the Carolina
hurricanes. The multimat goal was to win
the Stanley cup and didn't win unfortunately but now I have a
new goal, wanening... win fg "The Amazing Race."
- We're both physically fit. - Plus we're super
good-looking too. - Mona and Beth, working
moms from Colorado. Mona and I are both mothers
of three and your stereotypical zer... soccer moms.
But we do have a lile secret. We have the liberty bells.
The liberty is very real. It's full contact.
We're going to kick ass on the race.
We're going to kick everybody's ass on the race.
Max and Katie, newlyweds from buffalo, New York.
Max and I have been mayorford three weeks now so
the race is essentially our honeymoon.
It's probably not the ideal situation for a money...
honeymoon, but in my mind, it's all about winning.
We're cutthroat. Anybody who gets in my way, I
- don't care. - My bulldog.
Cave and Connor, father and son from salt lake city,
- Utah. - We're best friends.
We've shared almost everything in life together, including
having cancer. In 2010 I was diagnosed of
having testicular cancer. I was diagnosed earlier with
prostate cancer and when Connor was diagnosed, hardest news
I've ever dot begun... gotten in my life.
But fortunately, cancer-free. After cancer it makes you
realize that every day is a gift.
I think that's how we'll look at the race, and win $1
- million in the process. - Jessica and John, dating
from Southern California. Oh, it feels good to get in
the water. Weaveb dating for four years.
It's been awesome. Four years going on 100.
Marriage is something we've thought about but why rush the
good things in life? I'm looking forward to
wearing the white dress. Hopefully it's coming soon.
Idries and jamil, twins. Both interests from Chicago,
Illinois. We're - both doctors from
Chicago, Illinois. Almost 24 - 24/7 days in
the office, nights in the operating room.
When it comes to the race, I'll be the leader, he'll be
the willing follower. Won't be willing and won't
- be following. - Pam and winnie, best
friends from Los Angeles, California.
Tough girls who don't look like tough girls.
We're not afraid of anything. Heights, all that stuff is no
problem at all. We do that stuff for fun.
We are not looking for love unless you have $1 million
- taped onto your body. - Joey and Meghan, YouTube
sensations from Los Angeles, California.
- Joey and I met on YouTube. - We have a total of over half
a million subscribers on our YouTube channel.
People are going to think they're the cute, sweet team.
We are but we're also very competitive.
Matt and Daniel. Best friends and firefighters
from gaffney, South Carolina. Matt, we got a call.
Matt and I have been best friends since we were 5 years
old. I know Daniel has his back
and I have his. We've been a team for so
- long we can do it. - Caroline and Jennifer,
country singers from Nashville, Tennessee.
♪ Tonight I'm celebrating my life with my girlfriends ♪
We're two members of the amazing band angels.
We've been on tour for the last four or five years.
If we need to flirt to win a race we aren't scared.
Caroline would love to flirt to find a husband.
- Accepted Jen. - Yes, we both would.
We've been looking in all the wrong places.
In just a few minutes, you will be heading to a
spectacular tropical paradise that we've never been to before
and when you're there, you'll be taking part in a thrilling
challenge that will literally take your breath away.
If you win this first leg of the race, you will not only win
the express pass but you will win a second express pass to
give to another team. If you win this leg, you will
have the power to determine who gets ahead and who gets left
behind. You'll need to decide which
team you hand that express pass over to before the end of the
fourth leg, now, you know that most of you will be eliminated,
but if you make it to the final leg and you cross the finish
line first, you will win "the amazing race" and, of course,
$1 million!
And your first clue is inside one of the all-new Ford
fusions parked down there. Can you see them?
- Yeah! - When I say go, you can
run down there, pick a car and drive yourselves to the
airport. Is everybody ready?
- Yeah! - All right, let's get this
race started. The world is waiting for you.
Good luck. Travel safe.
- Go! - Come on, come on.
- Come on, Matt. - Whoo!
- Go, Jen. - You take the Fanny pack.
- Come on, come on. - Let's go.
- Ooh! - Whoo!
- Come on, Johnny. - Don't be a follower, be a
- leader. - Oh, my God.
- Here we go, boiled. - You are heading to the
tropical paradise of bora bora. Oh, my gosh.
Drive yourselves to Los Angeles international airport.
There are two flights leaving for bora bora tonight.
- This is amazing. - I combolt cannot believe it.
- I'm thrilled. - Warning, there are... is
only room for the first flight. Room for five teams on the
first flight, which leaves five hours before the second flight.
- This is awesome. - We're racing, baby!
It's crazy.

Shuttle stop over here. Right here.
- Ok. - We need to get to the ticket
counter. Hopefully we're one of the
first five. If not, s.O.L., we're on the
second one. Here's a bus right here.
- There's a shuttle there. - Hi, guys.
Jamil and idries. You guys with are twins?
- We're twins. - What do you guys do?
- We're actually deliverymen. - Are you guys lying?
You don't like to judge books by your cover, but don't
embarrass yourself past up... us.
- We're obvious ginns. - She kneads to you look at
- her. - Not on the bus.
Can you go straight to the airport?
- Ok, please. - I'm Caroline.
Bates? Ok.
Where do you want to sit? Jen and Caroline are pretty
good. Blonde, good looking.
We'll definitely have our eyes on them.
Thank you very much. Hey.
Thank you. Is there still flights left?
- Flight 108? - Yes.
No? Thank you.
You are a sweetheart. Appreciate it.
Hi. Flight 101?
- Yeah! - Unbelievable.
No L.A. experience. Go, Jen, go, Jen!
- Rats. - Are y'all five?
- We're five. - I think we're six.
We'll but on the... be on the first flight so...
- shoot, we barely missed it. - I'm just scared what's going
to happen in bora bora that's going to take our breath away.
Do you guys have any fears like heights?
- I'm so scared of heights. - Maybe it's underwater?
- We ought to trade. - Phil told us that there were
going to be two express passes. We've been getting to know
some of the other teams. We definitely want that
second express pass. Especially now that we're on
the first plane. We either want to get it or be
friendly with someone who gets it.
So we're on the second flight to bora bora.
With the hockey guys. Firefighters, country singers.
Roller derby. I guess I should check where
they're setting up camp. In everyday life we don't
have any friends. I don't care.
Her likeability is low when it comes to strangers but I
think you have to play the social game in order to win the
- race. - We're newlyweds.
We just got married. That's cool!
We like the newlyweds. They're really cool.
Katie put on her best fake face.
Your fake voice on. It was... ah.
Both teams are making their way to their connecting
city of papeete in Tahiti. Welcome to Tahiti.
- Thank you. - Can I have a lai, please?
Phil told us there were going to be two express passes
up for grabs for whoever came in on the first leg.
It made us realize we were going to have to form some
alliances early on. The reality is one of these
five teams is going to get that express pass and then they'll
decide who gets the second one. We're thinking who comes in
first and second it's automatic.
Then we don't have to worry about any hurt feelings.
But whoever comes in second should get it.
It's not a bad idea. It does take the stress out of
allocating it to somebody else. I feel good about that.
- We'll agree. - If you're in the alliance,
you can't tell anybody that's not in it that you're in it or
that it even exists. It's exactly like fight club.
- Shake on it. - Whoo!
Both teams are now making their way to bora bora.
- Hurry. - Run, run.
- Hurry! - Oh!
- Go, go, go! - There's a box right here.
There it is. Come on, come on.
- Here. - Who's ready to take a giant
- legal towards a million bucks? - Teams must sign up for
one of six helicopter flights, each carrying a maximum of two
teams, then, in an "the amazing race" first, they'll jump out
of a helicopter as it hovers as. At 10,000 feet.
They'll free fall at speeds over 120 Miles per hour in a
tandem skydive as hair... their partner takes a water taxi to
the landing zone. Then they'll meet their partner
and receive their next clue. You should do it.
- I'll do it, ok. - I am.
- Ok. - I am, I'm going to do it.
- Connor, get in there. - I got it.
It was a mad dash to be the first to sign up for the
helicopter jumps. Oh, come on, you guys.
- I'm after that man. - Hold on.
- Yeah, one name. - And then winnie goes.
- Four. - We're last.
I was born to jump out of helicopters and planes.
This is what "the amazing race" is all about right here.
I've never jumped. This is going to be my first
time. I'm excited.
I have to do the height stuff and the eating stuff so I
got the crap end of the deal. Yeah.
Oh! Whoo!
- Let's go! - We're the second team.
We're in the lead right now. If I thinkers crossed.
Hopefully that continues. Let's do this!
- Yeah! - This is so nuts.
- Oh, yeah! - It's game time, baby.
- Whoo! - We had a 360-degree in all
directions view of the absolutely gorgeous landscape.
You look one direction it's like mystical magical jungle.
Another direction is it's like crystal clear, emerald blue
water. It was an awesome experience.
That's what I'm talking about, baby!
- Whoo! - Ready?
I'm sitting over the edge of the entrance and everything
inside of me is telling me don't jump.
You're leaving a perfectly good helicopter but you have to
remind yourself I'm on "the amazing race."
I'm going to do anything for a million bucks.
Yeah! Ahhh!
- Here we go. - Here we go!
- Oh, yeah. - Whoo!
- Oh! - Whoo!
- Way to go! - John is going crazy.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, baby!
- Unbelievable. - Amazing.
Travel by water taxi to eden beach.
- Come on, we have to go. - Yah!
Come on, let's go. Come on, let's go.
Travel by water taxi to eden beach.
Ahhh! Ha ha ahhh!
Yeah! It was great to watch Connor
jumping out of a helicopter. When Connor was diagnosed with
cancer we thought that we were going to lose him and as a
father to see my son go through what he had to go through was
really hard to watch, but Connor is a tough kid.
Never complained, never gave up and came back determined to be
as strong or stronger than he was before and here he is
having an incredible experience.
- Yeah, ! - Whoo!
Whoo! Awesomest feeling I ever
had. I've always wanted to do it.
After I got any my stomach and my feeling back I kind of got
the hang of it. I have a huge adrenaline
rush right now. We're in first place.
We'll follow the marked path. Right here, Johnny, come on.
Another roadblock. Who likes to play in the sand?
This roadblock requires teams to find their next clue
buried under one of those sand castles.
Searching among 400 castles, teams must dig for the clue in
scorching terments that must reach over 100 degrees in the
sand. Whatever they destroy they must
rebuild before going on. Start right at the
- beginning. - Oh, my gosh.
- You have to rebuild it. - Oh, may... man, the sand is
not like sand. It's rocks.
If you knocked over a sand castle it was really sad to see
there was nothing there. These other teams are going
to struggle with this. This is brutal.
It's hot out here. Here we go.
Search beneath hundreds of sand castles for your next clue.
When I see that there are hundreds upon hundreds of sand
castles my heart dropped. Right now we are at numbers
one and two. Hopefully we stay there.
I want the express pass. Whoo!
Come on, Jen! Go, go.
- Here's a clue. - Ooh, ooh.
Who's ready to take a giant leap for a million bucks?
That's you, buddy. Oh, my gosh!
- I'll do it. - Ok.
- You do it. - I am.
Oh, my God, you're going skydiving!
- Whoo! - Is that it?
Yeah. Number four.
- Ok. - Come on, let's go.
- Over here. - Right there.
- Where is it? - Go here.
When we got to the board we actually got their fifth but
Mona had skipped a line and put herself on the last helicopter
ride so I noticed that and said he could go for the second
place. Why didn't you go on five?
I didn't realize what it was.
The second Mona saw it she realized she'd made a big
mistake and wanted it back quickly but it was too late,
the brain already got her. Ty - I didn't realize the
- twopersonal thing. - We're at the back of the
pack and it would be horrifying to be eliminated
first.
- Whoo! - We are the last to go
skydiving today. We're not quitters.
We play in games all the time where we're behind and we come
back and win. You're not ever down and out.
You have to play out every last second of every game.
- Whoo! - Oh, my gosh!
I got to jump out of a helicopter.
You got to dig buckets of desert.
- Oh! - I'm trying to figure out
what the difficulty is in making sand castles.
Seems like it's too welt. If it's too dry, you can't get
the circles at the top. He's spending 80% of the
time building the sand castles rather than looking for the
clue. This is how you lose.
Search through hundreds of sand castles.
Dad, come on. I went to the opposite end
of the sand castle field. It looked like they were still
pristine and hadn't been gone through.
You're doing a good job of building them.
There it is, right there. All right, let's get searching.
- Come on, idries. - Oh, God.
All right, no clue there. I need to wet the sand.
We... rebuilding these are hard.
Ahhh! Whoo!
- Whoo! - Ahhh!
I am relate told Daniel Boone and I actually do have an
independent spirit. I want to bungee jump and
skydive. I want to do it all.
It's not just me, right? These things are hard to
rebuild? So hard to rebuild.
- Toughest... stupid sand. - This is a tough challenge.
- It's so hot out here. - I'm trying.
Let the sand castles talk to you.
- Shut up. - That's our code word for you
- love you. - Come on.
- I'm comingful. - Look for a clue box.
Ma'am, you got a clue? Please.
Please. You speak English?
- No. - As a shift manager with
Walmart I deal with so many different walks of life.
I feel I'm able to communicate with all different folks and
usually I can get my point across.
Alabama in the house. Look at what he's doing.
Priceless. Babe, what's that?
Is that? There's a clue in the bucket.
Oh, crap, we didn't go far enough.
This is when the game levels up, huh?
- Evidently. - I always wanted to be on a
beach like this but not digging sand castles.
It's back breaking. Where are my kids when I need
- them? - Whoo!
Always wanted to go skydiving.
We've never been out of the country, never got on the do
anything like this. What better place to do it than
in a tropical paradise? That was awesome.
Here's what the competition looks like right now.
Of the five teams that were on the first flight, the deal that
we came to as a group, whenever fetes first place and wins the
double express pass, the team that gets second would
automatically receive the second express pass, so
everybody working right here, basically working as a team.
- Switch one up. - I feel like I don't feel my
lips anymore. Feels like water.
You're going to look like tom Hanks from "castaway" real
soon. It's such a crap shoot.
It could be anywhere. I'm not sure what bora bora
means but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with hot.
- John, got it. - They found it.
Well, we have to be the second.
Make your way down the beach.
Teams must now attach a float to an outriggerano.
Once their cano is ship shame they must use strength and
balance to keep it upright while paddling to the pit stop,
motu cafe. The first team to check into
the pit stop will not win just one express pass but a second
they'll give to another team and the last team to check in
here will be eliminated. What's up?
So we have this long thing? We have this.
These two things and rope. Steady.
Ahhh!
I have to enjoy this moment. Because we want to show our
kids that you can absolutely do anything you put your mind to.
"Amazing race." It's so amazing.
- Unbelievable. - I think that's a stinger.
- It is. - That boat appears as if it's
going to be really stable because this is like a
catamaran. But if you even lean just a
little bit to the right, instantly you tip.
We'll pick up the pace. Let's do it.
- Hold that. - Anthony and I spend a ton of
time together. Everything we do is almost
identical. We're kind of the same
things. Do the same things, eat the
same things. A lot of times people say we
finish each other's... Sandwiches.
It's weird. Eyes on the prize.
My eyes are burning. I'm sweating.
My brother is already on the edge.
Another team just came in and got the clue, first go.
He might lose it. Oh, somebody just got here.
- Oh, sand castles. - When we got to the beach it
was a feeling of jubilation. Really no is to see all the
teams on that first flight still working on that same
roadblock. This is me.
- Hey, guys. - Nice job, by the way.
- Oh, thanks. - Don't go down there.
Search through hundreds of sand castles.
This fricking heat. It's make it hard to think.
Jen, we caught up a lot so don't worry.
- Dying. - I haven't lost my touch.
Every time we watched the show you said you wanted to go
to the nice, beautiful beach. I didn't want to go and
build sand castles. I thought they'd have a lawn
chair and vodka and seven-up for me.
- Oh, God. - Make your way down the beach
and assemble a... Oh, this sucks.
So much for strategy, huh? This is ridiculous.
It's frustrating. Sit here is frustrating.
It's frustrating to watch. Mentally he's kind of fragile.
It's not going to happen. I'm not going to find a clue.
You're not going to find it if you don't goiks.
I don't even know at this point what has been done, what
hasn't been done. Short of anything miraculous
we're not coming in in first place.
But the team that is in first place will be par of this pack
so if we're amongst those five on the first flight we still
have a chance to get the express pass.
- You got it. - Take them both.
We get to the sand castle, the first thing I thought to
myself oh, boy, that's something out of our control.
- Do it. - Whoo!
We maid... made it! Killer.
- Welcome to bora bora. - Oh, thank you so much.
- Jessica and John? - Yes.
- Are you team number one! - Ahhh!
Team number oneful Remember what I promised
you. If you won the first leg of the
race you would win not only the express pass but a second
express pass. One express pass for you and
the other express pass you will give to another team of your
choice. And you have to do that before
the end of the fourth leg. Sounds good.
That is power in your hands.
We agreed we'd give the express pass to the second team
of our alliance to cross the finish line.
Although we want to stay true to our world but at the same
time we want to play the game smart.
We'll see how things play out. All right, let's hammer it
out. Look, they're over here.
Oh, my gosh. Everyone is here.
- I love playing in the sand. - Yeah, you think you love
playing in the sand. Give it three hours.
This is where we're going to catch up.
Please have a clue. Nope.
There's entertainment now. We have a live band.
♪- We could dance those sand
castles away. This is not even close to
- being fun. - Ahhh!
- I feel hot, tired, drained. - Close your eyes so I can get
this sand off your foreheld. I really had pity on her.
Never saw her sweat like that. It really took a toll on her.
- There it is. - I got this.
This is where being a mom comes in handy.
I've built my fair share of sand castles.
Bates and Anthony, you are team number two.
- Awesome. - There's nine clues left,
- dad. - You know, Connor, the
all been gone through. Keep going.
The only thing I can think is I didn't dig deep enough.
- Holy moly. - Find one?
Yeah. Yee-ha!
- Thank you. - I can't say anything bad at
all. He's out in the sun working
hard trying to find that clue. Enjoy your time on "the"
"amazing race." - Come on.
When I found that clue I kind of wanted to be under the
radar. And I was like thank you,
- Jesus. - Let's go.
- Great. - Let's do it.
Let's rock 'n' roll. We're canoing in bora bora,
- dad. - Yeah.
Here we come, Phil! Come on, clue, please.
Katie is getting a little bit fatigued.
As long as he keeps keeping on, she'll be all right.
- This sit, this is it. - Finally.
- Let's go. - Find the missing clue.
Reveal yourself. Everybody stop talking.
I got one! Yes!
- I got one! - Shut up.
I think this is driving me crazy.
Make your way down the beach....
- whoo. - Dave and Connor.
We think we're team number three.
And you are team number three.
Even though we came in third place we were the second team
from that core of five so therefore we should get the
express pass. So can they stick to their
word? You know why you're so good
at this, Jen? Because you're so patient.
In our profession we have to keep knocking down doors and
even though we've been told no a million times we just figure
out another way around it. We just have to keep going.
- Oh! - Keep your shoes.
Let's bet the hell out of here. Hey, I would it.
Hold on. We're from the inner city of
Chicago. We don't swim.
I was focused on trying to get the boat together right
because I'm afraid of water and I don't want that boat falling
- apart in the water. - Whoo!
This is amazing! One, two, three.
We have to be fast. Warn me when there's a
- drop-off. - Ok, drop-off.
I better go get to get a vodka and 746-up when I get
done with this. 7... up when I get done this
this.
I found it - sucks.
Pamela and winnie, you are team number four.
- Whoo! - Mona and Beth, you are
- team number five. - Whoo!
Normally we would not be stoked about fifth but we
actually are ecstatic because we came from last place.
In roller derby we learn from our mistakes and we can
bring that into the race too. It's coming undone.
- Not good. - Hey, hey...
we are paddling and literally in one split second I
have water in my mouth and I'm under water and I realize we
just tipped over. Oh, my God, what's going on?
I lost my glasses. We're screwed.
Team brotherhood. Move your Booty out of the way.
When we were in the water another team did pass us by.
But honestly at that point I'm thinking let's just get out of
- the water. - Joey and Meghan?
- Yes. - You are team number six!
Chuck and wynona, you are team number seven and you are still
in it. I just had to talk about your
hair, Chuck, I'm sorry. I have to say that we've never
had hair like this on "the amazing race."
It's busy in the front and party in the back.
I wonder where other people found theirs and going kind of
like in a different direction. Please be in here.
Ust find one. You have to keep moving.
We pretty much have to come home with this $1 million
because we're living a lot another home.
I've been married three years.
We have a 9-month-old at home. If we can win the money will
- help us so much. - Idries and jamil, you are
team number eight. Thank you.
Just keep going, man. Got to pick them good.
And then there were three. We've been out here over three
hours now. The sun is still beaming down
hot. The odds are getting slimmer
and slimmer. You have to just rebuild
sand castles on a hot beach forever.
We're getting a taste of what hell will be like.
My fear was one of them would blindly kick over a sand
castle and voila, there'd be the clue.
I feel bad for her. I wish I was doing it for her
right now.
- This sucks. - I know it's hard.
I know it sucks, I know it's tough, but we have to do is it,
man. I have no idea what to think
anymore. I guess we need a lesson here
in patience or something? We could be here for like 10
more hours. Any thought to taking the
penalty or no? If we all do it.
If we could take a penalty and then go to the next
challenge we could all start at the same time and then I knew
that we could definitely beat the both of them to the pit
- stop. - What is a roadblock?
- Only four hours? - Yeah.
What do you think? That's not a bad idea.
I'm not mad about that. I say we stop.
I've been out here too long. Katie and Jennifer mentioned
hey, we'll just take the penalty.
If they're willing to do it, I know Matt and I can win this
cano race... Canoe race.
I thought they're the ones who are going to be wrong and I
knew Matt and I had it. Let's go.
Do a footrace to something else.
- Let's make a blood packet. - We choose to talk the
four-hour penalty and stop the madness.
- Thank you. - Hurry, Carol.
Make your way down the beach and assemble a...
- that goes over there. - Skinny end up.
- This guy goes over here. - This Saul you.
You hold this end right here.
We're firemen, we know how to build things and tie roams.
I don't want to let all the firemen in America down.
We got this. Paddle like hell.
- Thank you. - Man, it feels good.
I think we made the right decision.
- We're first out. - Girls, just get in the
water. If we get eliminated first,
we sure tried. Daniel, you got it?
Ah! Ok, I'm right, you're left.
We're building a lead, they're having problems.
Ok, Jen, hop in. Evening you've got.
- They just flew right by us. - Give it all you've got,
buddy. Come on, baby, dig deep.
I'm trying. They're gaining on us.
We're going to catch up to that couple.
- Ok. - Do not equipment.
- I'm trying Carol. - We're gaining on them.
Keep going. Come on, baby, let's go.
- Go, lean guard and go. - We did not want to go out
- today. - They're catching up.
- Good job. - Steady.
- Ah! - Damn.
You could just see the teams getting smaller.
There goes our chance to keep racing.
It was just a sickening feeling.
We're in last place, no doubt about it.
- Good job, girls, come on! - Max and Katie, you are
team number nine. Caroline and Jennifer, you are
team number 10. I understand you've taken a
four-hour penalty. When you leave on the next leg
of the race you'll be leaving four hours later than the time
you touched on the map. But I understand the last team
also took a four-hour penalty, which essentially means you
survived. We think we're smarter than
a lot of people. In regards to taking the
penalty, I think it was genius. I think it was brilliant.
In our minds we had to do what we had to do to survive.
Hey, guys. Matt and Daniel, I'm sorry to
tell you that you are the last team to arrive.
And you have been eliminated from the race.
- We figured that. - We left it all on the table
and bora bora won. When we agreed to take the
penalty, we never thought for one second that we would be
eliminated canoing. That's what makes us feel so
bad. That we'd get beat canoing
by two blonde girls. I'm sure we're never going to
hear the end of this at the firehouse.
