Recap & Season 18 Cliffhanger
Jet and Cord's Roadblock Struggles
00:00:41
The Amazing Rewatch
So, yeah, that's where we left off. um Yeah, we see. And then the continued. So, yeah. And then we see Jet here on the opening of this leg. Jet is having a hard time figuring out that clue from the flags.
00:00:54
The Amazing Rewatch
um And all the other teams are getting that clue at the Matt that says make your way back to Sydney and get to the sail and get to sail to stop.
00:01:06
The Amazing Rewatch
So teams need to figure out that to sail to stop is leading them to an anchor beside the city town hall, like an anchor statue.
Broken Hill: A Mining Town
00:01:17
The Amazing Rewatch
And the first six teams to arrive will be the first on the first of two charter flights. That will be going to Broken Hill, The next morning, the first one at 6 a.m., the second one at 6.30 a.m.
00:01:30
The Amazing Rewatch
Broken Hill is a small mining town, 684 miles outside of Sydney. Did you look up information about this place? Yeah. um Yeah, so it is about 600... Well, it's 685 miles west of Sydney. It's often called Silver City. It's in the far western area of New South Wales.
00:01:51
The Amazing Rewatch
And um it's geographically closer to Adelaide than Sydney and operates in the Australian Central Standard Time, even though the New South Wales, the state of New South Wales operates in a different time zone just because it's closer.
00:02:08
The Amazing Rewatch
um It's in the barrier range, which is like in the outback of Australia. Red Earth, Rocky Hills, Salt Brush Plains,
00:02:20
The Amazing Rewatch
It's very hot.
Racing Challenges in Broken Hill
00:02:22
The Amazing Rewatch
Summer temperatures are regularly over 104 degrees. Very low rain file rainfall. Rainfall. Rainfall. Rainfall. Very low.
00:02:31
The Amazing Rewatch
Wow. Very low rainfall. Less than 250 millimeters annually
00:02:40
The Amazing Rewatch
250 millimeters. So that rainfall? 2.5 centimeters? I don't know. That's like an inch. um Because of its ah um open wide open skies, it has very dramatic sunsets. and the town was built along a mineral-rich ridge known as the Line of Lode, one of the world's richest ore deposits.
00:03:01
The Amazing Rewatch
It was founded in the 1880s after the discovery of silver, lead, and zinc. It became one of the world's richest mining towns. um It was the site of major Australian labor union movements and helped shape Australia's early economic development.
00:03:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Only about 16,000 people lived there. had over 30,000 people during the mining booms. um It's a regional hub for surrounding outback communities.
00:03:33
The Amazing Rewatch
It an unexpectedly strong arts scene. It's named the Hollywood of the Outback.
Detour Choices: Spirit vs. Natural World
00:03:42
The Amazing Rewatch
So things like like Mad Max was filmed there.
00:03:45
The Amazing Rewatch
um Some part of Mission Impossible 2.
00:03:49
The Amazing Rewatch
um
00:03:51
The Amazing Rewatch
has a lot of, it's known for its massive dust storms.
00:03:55
The Amazing Rewatch
And it's a major stop on the historic Indian Pacific train route.
00:04:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Broken Hill fills feels rugged, historic, artistic, resilient, and wildly beautiful in a harsh cinematic way. It's not coastal Australia pretty. It's vast red dirt, big sky, old mining town energy.
00:04:13
The Amazing Rewatch
Kind of reminded me of like southern Utah. Yeah. The red red cliffs, red dirt, stuff like that. And 250 millimeters is almost 10 inches, 9.8 inches.
00:04:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, that's a weird wait yeah way to... So it's like 2.5 centimeters, probably.
00:04:29
The Amazing Rewatch
Didn't you just say that's 10 inches? Yeah, but 2.5... Oh, two... I don't know. Well, how many centimeters are in an inch? Like two and a half. I don't know.
00:04:39
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know. Millimeter. Why would they do it in millimeters? That's weird. So maybe 25 centimeters. That's right. 25 centimeters.
00:04:48
The Amazing Rewatch
And 25 centimeters is 10 inches? Yeah. Okay. Well, not a lot of rain. Clearly, we do not know the metric system. Yeah.
00:04:59
The Amazing Rewatch
Or conversions. Yeah. Well, okay. So these teams are starting to make their way to this anchor statue. Some of them are taking a cab all the way back. Some of them are taking a ferry because they took a ferry to get there. Right now they're Shelly Beach. Yeah, in Manly.
00:05:17
The Amazing Rewatch
In Manly. Which is like a suburb of Sydney. um Jet finally gets the clue, right? and they go and do the skiff task.
Team Dynamics & First Detour Completion
00:05:25
The Amazing Rewatch
They have to do that like 16 foot skiff thing out on the water and get the clue there.
00:05:31
The Amazing Rewatch
um Some people are taken to a maritime museum, not to the anchor because like their cab drivers think that Yeah, and it makes sense. And there's like an information desk at the museum. So they ask there. And it's not very far from the town hall.
00:05:49
The Amazing Rewatch
So they're able to just walk. Except for Mel, who is really struggling to walk. He is having a hard time. the Like the long flight and the long leg and no rest. And now having to go like... Not stop and yeah not have a rest. Continue racing. and it's really hot. Yeah.
00:06:08
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, it's their summer there. Like, at the time of this filming, it was, like, November, December. So, that's the middle of the summer there. So, he is, i don't know, it looks like he's dehydrated and overheating and, like, he can't walk and he just is struggling. And Mike is, like, really upset about it He's just, like, I don't want to. He's really worried for him. Yeah, he's emotional and.
00:06:33
The Amazing Rewatch
Like, I don't want to, like, jeopardize your health for – He says, I don't want to kill you for some joyride. Yeah. Because they get on the ferry and he kind of, like, almost looks like he's passing out. Yeah. He kind of lays down on this row of seats and um Mike is really emotional about it and everybody's kind of trying to help out. But – um And then some teams, they find a woman on the ferry with a computer and do some research to find that anchor. But the first teams to arrive there are Keisha and Jen and Zeb and Justin.
00:07:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Who took cabs. Yeah. So that was this the better way to go. And then this big group of teams, but they get off the ferry about the same time and go and find that place. Jamie and Kara end up being team number three and Margie and Luke number four.
00:07:22
The Amazing Rewatch
Mel and Mike are number five, and Kent and Vixen are number six. So that's in the that's the first charter flight, leaving at 6 a.m. And if you remember from last leg, Gary and Mallory and Amanda and Chris were teams number one and two um to get to the fake pit stop.
00:07:39
The Amazing Rewatch
And they... Are having a really hard time. Yeah, like Mallory at some point said that they've been searching for hours. like It feels like at somebody has to have... Some information or a computer. Yeah. Like, why are they not finding a computer? I don't understand why it took them so long to find. them Or at this point, they're smartphones.
00:07:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Like we see a couple of times in this episode, people are Googling stuff on their phone. Yeah. So and Mallory end up teaming up with like Ron and Christina and Amanda and Chris helping each other find this place. But the second flight they have, flight time and big easy, Ron and Christina, Gary and Mallory and Amanda and Chris.
00:08:18
The Amazing Rewatch
And Jet and Cord yeah eventually because it takes them a long time to find the place. So Jet and Cord finish the the boat thing. They get to the fake pit stop or mat and told to keep racing.
00:08:32
The Amazing Rewatch
And they have a hard time finding somebody who knows what to, what is it again? To sail, to stop. To sail, to stop. another They also have a hard time finding somebody that knows that.
00:08:42
The Amazing Rewatch
um They eventually find a cab driver who knows exactly what it is. Yeah. It's like the middle of the night, though, it looks like. Yeah, really the flight leaves at 6 a.m. and they have to go to this regional airport, too.
00:08:52
The Amazing Rewatch
So they're like, let's just go to the airport now. And they get there. Sun comes up. It's the next day.
Kangaroo Costume Challenge
00:09:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Teams are starting to book ah board those charter flights.
00:09:04
The Amazing Rewatch
ah Mel says he's feeling much better today. Yes. He got some rest. And they head to that small town of Broken hillm Hill.
00:09:16
The Amazing Rewatch
And if you'll remember, Chris and Amanda have the U-turn because they came in last before departing Palm Springs.
00:09:26
The Amazing Rewatch
um to get Phil the clue or like the paper airplane that had Qantas on it. So they have a U-turn, which we know will be coming up because they didn't have a U-turn in the last leg. So, yeah. So the first flight lands and they get in their cars and the clue on the car says, drive yourselves to the living desert.
00:09:45
The Amazing Rewatch
A barren landscape in Australia's outback. Yeah. Yeah. They had their, it kind of seems like not too hard to find. There's not like a lot of places to go. And it looks like some teams had some maps and some are following other people. um But Zev and Justin, Keisha and Jen and Mel and Mike are the first ones to arrive there and get to the clue box. And that is a detour. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
00:10:11
The Amazing Rewatch
Have I told this story on the podcast before about deaf people driving a car? I don't know. Okay. Because Luke is driving a lot of this episode. And I remember in elementary school, we had a deaf person come and do like a little assembly for...
00:10:28
The Amazing Rewatch
the elementary school. And they you but they let the kids like ask questions. And somebody was like, if you're deaf, can you drive? And the person said, yes, you can. And they said, but what if like you're getting pulled over and you can't hear the siren?
00:10:48
The Amazing Rewatch
And she's like, well... you just look in your rear view mirror because you should be looking in your mirrors to drive and you can see the lights. And then somebody else raised their hand and they're like, what if you're deaf and blind? And she's like, well, then you wouldn't be driving.
00:11:06
The Amazing Rewatch
It just made me think of that story. i think about that every so often, actually. Being deaf and blind. Yeah. An elementary kid question. I'm pretty sure I even remember who asked the question.
00:11:18
The Amazing Rewatch
But you don't want to say because don't want to embarrass them. Yeah, because I'm sure they're listening to this podcast. It was your friend Brooke's brother. Oh, that makes sense. The oldest one.
00:11:32
The Amazing Rewatch
and okay anyway okay so yes it's a detour and the choices are spirit world or natural world and in i spelled it spritty spritty world spirit world they have to use traditional materials to create an aboriginal ground mosaic that matches the given example then they must perform a dance on top of the mosaic the dance is supposed to like raise the spirits Then natural world is create an Aboriginal territory marker using natural paint made from water and a clay-like pigment. They must mix the paint and then put it in their mouths and spit the paint onto a stencil to create four images.
00:12:13
The Amazing Rewatch
And every single one of them choose spirit world. But yeah I would choose the other one. Yeah. And it makes it it makes it sound like you have to do this intricate music mosaic and then learn a dance. Yeah. Is what it sounds like.
00:12:26
The Amazing Rewatch
The dance isn't actually that hard. No, they basically just have to stand on top of like the Like move around. Yeah. But this one sounds way faster. Yeah. And the idea of putting paint in your mouth and spinning it does not sound fun, but yeah I was surprised that not one person
Race to Junction Mine & First Place
00:12:40
The Amazing Rewatch
chose one. And there were quite a few teams that were like, everyone's doing this one, let's do this one. That doesn't mean it's the right choice. Yeah, and it I mean, it so kind of seemed chaotic, too, because all of the teams were doing this one, and there were so many people like running back and forth for the materials, because they were like... They were like all piled up in different piles. There was like rocks and chalk and like wood chips or, you know, soil, different piles of the material.
00:13:07
The Amazing Rewatch
Some teams from the second flight start arriving before some from the first flight. um But um Kent and Vixen are the first ones to pass off their mosaic.
00:13:20
The Amazing Rewatch
And then they have to do a dance on top of it. This looks But Kent and Vixen don't really read that part of the clue very well. And so Kent is like, Vixen, give me some children. Give me the children. out there the children, Vixen. Vixen, give me some children. Where are children? Because there were there were a group of people dancing around a mosaic over just like as not even really an example. Yeah.
00:13:47
The Amazing Rewatch
So yeah, he kind of just, they misunderstand that. And so they gather a bunch of children and kind of, dance in a circle around it and they ask if they're done and the lady says no or he says do you like our dance she says no no and it takes them while to figure out that they need to dance on top of it and they don't need the children yeah so they're like you can go and Zev and Justin are the ones that finish first and you don't really have to learn a dance you kind just have to move your body on top of it for a second yeah you're done so yeah they finish first and they get the clue and it says drive back to Broken Hill and figure out that the home of the magpie is at the stadium central football club.
00:14:26
The Amazing Rewatch
It's here you'll find your next clue. So then Margie and Luke, Mike and Mel, Keisha, Jen, Kenton, Vixen, and Jamie and Kara finish after them, not like one right after the other.
00:14:36
The Amazing Rewatch
And Ron and Christina are struggling communicating. They start fighting in like Chinese language. Yeah, Christina's like speaking Chinese so they don't understand us. But then the show puts subtitles up anyway. And it's funny.
00:15:06
The Amazing Rewatch
Christina wanted to take a cab, but Ron's like, we're on an island. We got here on a ferry. The only way to get back would be on a ferry. Like he was just being kind of like, I don't know what the word is like demeaning a little bit. Like, are you stupid?
00:15:18
The Amazing Rewatch
And, and it's not as bad as it was on their first go around. Cause he was very hard on her. hmm. And they definitely improved as the season went on. So now that they're... Hopefully they get back into a better rhythm again. But he is... He's being really hard on her again right here on this task. And he's like, I think you got this wrong. I think i think you did this wrong.
00:15:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. There are a couple of times that he was like, oh, I think I messed that up. So... But yeah. He was just very much blaming her a lot. but So then Jet and Kord...
00:15:58
The Amazing Rewatch
Flight time in Big Easy and Gary Mallory finish the detour closely after that as well. Jet and Cord are so funny. Like, they're running back to the car and they say to each other, race you to the car and run as fast as they can. Like, they're just brothers. They're just brothers. They're just, they're so cute um so Chris and Amanda...
00:16:17
The Amazing Rewatch
They finish that first detour. They have to go do the other one. And this is when we find out the other one is so quick. Yeah. They do that one so fast. and They finish about the same time ron and Christina finish the detour. So they're the last two teams to leave. Yeah. About the same time.
00:16:31
The Amazing Rewatch
And Ron has all of his stuff like strewn about the ground. She's like, Daddy, what is this? Oh, my gosh, Daddy. it's just, he's like, it's stuff from my jacket. I needed it to hold all the rocks and stuff like that. She's picking up all this trash and water bottles. She's like, we have a over here. And the other players, so Zev and Justin, they get to that clue first at the football football club. And it says, time for a rude awakening. Spelled R-O-O.
Elimination & Team Reflections
00:17:01
The Amazing Rewatch
apostrophe d yes a kangaroo so ah teams must suit up as a kangaroo and figure out where to go next with nothing but a piece of paper with a ah table periodic table periodic table of elements hopping through this mining town teams must figure out there are many streets named for the elements on the periodic table and that these two elements highlighted are the only two elements named streets that cross each other which are mercury and bismuth So Mercury is like M. HG. Oh, HG and Bismuth is like B. I. hi um I wouldn't know either of those.
00:17:38
The Amazing Rewatch
I maybe would have been able to figure out mercury. But I think because we watched this episode together and I think I even said, i don't know that I know that bismuth is an element. Yeah.
00:17:49
The Amazing Rewatch
But you know like pepto-bismol? The off-brand is called pepto-bismuth. Oh, interesting. So I wonder what the element is because you it in Yeah. It's part of pepto-bismol.
00:18:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Let's see. Maybe we should do a a periodic table of the elements first. Clue, or not clue, test. Quiz. What's PB? Do you know that one?
00:18:11
The Amazing Rewatch
No. It's lead. Okay. Yeah, I would. That one's hard one. I'm really bad at chemistry, so. Yeah. What about h Hydrogen. Yeah.
00:18:22
The Amazing Rewatch
I really want to know what bismuth is, though. It is a silvery white post-transition metal with a distinct reddish tinge known for forming iridescent crystals when oxidized it's non-toxic and often used as a safe eco-friendly replacement for lead and alloys like shotgun pellets um it's also widely used in medicine to treat stomach issues i definitely pepto-bismol is weird that where you put metal on your body for a stomach issue yeah and who figured that out
00:18:51
The Amazing Rewatch
You know, I'm sure at some point everything got ingested to see what it would do and the results were tragic at some times and sometimes you're like, look at that. That's great.
00:19:03
The Amazing Rewatch
Bismuth subsalicylate is the active ingredient in medications for indigestion, diarrhea, and ulcers.
00:19:10
The Amazing Rewatch
It's also used in pigments for cosmetics and nail polish for a pearly sheen. Works by by forming a protective coating in the gut and reducing inflammation.
00:19:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, so maybe we'll need to catch up on our periodic table before we go on the race. um So Margie and Luke, Kenton Vixen, and Mike and Mel are not too far behind Zev and Justin.
00:19:35
The Amazing Rewatch
Zev and Justin decide to work with Margie and Luke. They ask a lady with a cell phone to look up the names of the elements. And she does. And then they're like, oh. And she says, oh, those are streets. And she gives them the directions.
00:19:49
The Amazing Rewatch
And then Jamie and Kara, Jet and Cord, Flytime and Big Easy, and Kishan Jen, they arrive next. Not too hard to find this place. And Kenton Vixen.
00:20:00
The Amazing Rewatch
It's like so these guys are pulling up as the first few teams are already dressed up in kangaroos. So they like see what they have to do. And they're like, oh my gosh. ah And Margie says that it's hot. Remember what happened to her last season when she like passed out in Thailand because it was so hot.
00:20:15
The Amazing Rewatch
So she's probably having some flashbacks here. Keisha and Jen, they go into the men's locker room. Oh, yeah. lock room And you can see, like, they're kind of, like, looking at them. Funny. um Jamie and Cara and Kent and Vixen work together. Kent knows exactly what the elements are right away. It's like an a in chemistry. And they're like, hey, nice.
00:20:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Brains and beauty. Yeah, that's what Vixen says. I think that's what Jamie said. Oh, maybe. Yeah. um On their way to this clue, Margie, she loses a piece of her costume.
00:20:47
The Amazing Rewatch
Like the foot part her kangaroo costume. Yeah, like shoe covering, basically. And so they have to turn around and Zev and Justin keep going. Which I would too. Yeah. um And as the other groups of teams are coming down the road...
00:21:02
The Amazing Rewatch
They see it. Mel picks it up and kind of takes it along with him. Yeah. There's like five teams kind of running together in a group. And it's so hilarious yeah to see like this group of people dressed up in these giant kangaroos just like running down the road. Yeah.
00:21:16
The Amazing Rewatch
But yeah, Mel picked up the thing. And Margie found him and and Luke gave him a big kiss. and Yeah. She's like, did anybody find a piece of the costume? And he's like, I have it. She's like, oh, I love you. and he said And they said, can you tell us where to go? And they know exactly where to go. So it was helpful that they found that.
00:21:31
The Amazing Rewatch
she found that uh group yeah helpful to the group seven justin end up arriving first to that clue at that intersection and it says continuing in your kangaroo suits drive to the junction mine for the pit stop of this leg of the race blast you need to check in may be eliminated or will be eliminated you may want to change your shoes to drive or something like that is what it says um so team number one up end up being zeb and justin they went a trip to cancun and phil says do you have your passport still yes because that's how they got eliminated last time is because they checked in and they didn't have their passports it was very sad so that big group of teams all kind of hopping around together get to this clue about the same time
00:22:15
The Amazing Rewatch
and the They all are scrambling to get to their cars and take off their shoes and stuff like that. So team number two ends up being Flight Time and Big Easy. Team number three are Jet and Cord and team number four are Keisha and Jen.
00:22:29
The Amazing Rewatch
So Jet and Cord are very lucky. Yeah, because they were way behind. They were probably like... Several hours behind. Yes. Just thinking of the first team to check in and them checking in like... Or them finishing in the middle of the night. Yeah.
00:22:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Like, they're so lucky. They're team number three after that huge mistake. It would have been so sad for them to be eliminated first. Yeah. So, like, you never... That's, like, just another prime example of you just never stop racing. You never know what's going to happen. Yeah. Like... Jet could have just been like, I give up. I'm not going to do it. But he kept doing it. yeah And they're team number three.
00:23:06
The Amazing Rewatch
Gary and Mallory team up with Ron and Christina in their kangaroo suits trying to find this. I would not team up with Ron Christina. I couldn't even stand to be around Ron and k Christina don't really want to team up with Gary and Mallory. Well, at least Ron doesn't because Mallory's running around. She is being a little bit...
00:23:24
The Amazing Rewatch
ron calls her impulsive and hy hysterical were some of the words and she she said she's like they this way let's go this way they ran this way and he's like we don't know where we're going we don't want to follow the crowd mallory yeah like he said we don't want to hurry in the wrong direction yeah so it's smart but but it was the right way yeah and he was like not super nice about it no and Yeah, so they were working together, but they're kind of like Ron and Mallory specifically are kind of not agreeing with each other on how to get there. But Amanda and Chris are not far behind them.
00:24:00
The Amazing Rewatch
So these are the last three teams. Yeah. Yeah. but When Gary and Mallory and Ron and k Christina find that clue, Chris and Amanda can see them. They're like, they're right up there. Yeah.
00:24:11
The Amazing Rewatch
And Chris is actually like, they're being pretty positive still. And Chris is being like super encouraging. Like we got to keep going. We got to keep going. We're almost there. We're not that far behind. And they get into the cars and Mallory's like, I know exactly where we're going. And Ron and Christina, they're like, they're very nice people, but they don't know where they're going. They're very impulsive. We're going to go this way. And they don't follow Gary and Mallory. Yeah.
00:24:49
The Amazing Rewatch
Amanda and Chris say they know exactly where they're going. They're like, it really is. looks real close. It does look really close. Yeah. it probably actually was at this time. But team number 10 ends up being Ron and Christina.
00:25:02
The Amazing Rewatch
Ron says, give a give us good news, Bill. Yeah. He's like, did you call me a Bill? oh Oh, Phil. Team number 10. So team number 11 are Amanda and Chris and they are eliminated. And that's unfortunate.
Season Reflections & Cowboy Trivia
00:25:14
The Amazing Rewatch
I like them.
00:25:16
The Amazing Rewatch
there i just haven't really got... I don't remember them from the last season. Well, they got eliminated in fourth place. Yeah, the in the fourth episode last season. So they didn't make it super far.
00:25:28
The Amazing Rewatch
Which is why we don't remember them very well. um So let's see. In their first season, season 14, they took eighth place.
00:25:42
The Amazing Rewatch
And were eliminated at the end of Lake 4. And then Season 18, their average was 6.5 because they actually did get to the mat second
00:25:54
The Amazing Rewatch
um before the the continue racing, before the to-be continued. But then... What even happened? Like, how did they get so far behind? Yeah.
00:26:05
The Amazing Rewatch
They ended up being on the second flight because why? Like, they didn't stop and ask for directions to the to the anchor statue. Yeah. And I think that's what killed them. Yeah. Like, if they would have been 30 minutes ahead, they would have been fine. Mm-hmm. And Ron and Christina probably would have been gone. Mm-hmm.
00:26:23
The Amazing Rewatch
So... Yeah. Ask for directions. Like, why do people have such a hard time with that? Especially at this point, like, maybe in 2001 or whatever when there was no so smartphones. Yeah. And people were like, I don't know. Yeah. But now it's like, get to your phone out. Who has a phone? Get out. this up right now. Hurry. Yeah.
00:26:40
The Amazing Rewatch
So, it seems silly. And, i mean, the those three teams, Gary Mallory, Ron Christina, and Chris and Amanda all just, like, did not ask for help. Yeah.
00:26:52
The Amazing Rewatch
So. Unfortunate. And so we did this at the last All Stars where we just did like a quick recap of what they're up to after the race, but we're not going to do like a deep dive like we normally do. So as a quick reminder,
00:27:09

00:28:16
The Amazing Rewatch
So any elimination is going to be a sad one. At this point, i if you remember, i said I do know who wins, but I don't remember who gets to the top three. I would like to see Mike and Mel make it far and Margie and Luke I don't know. I like the parent-child teams.
00:28:37
The Amazing Rewatch

Let's see if there was any information about this episode in particular.
00:29:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Sometimes I forget to look at those.
00:29:26
The Amazing Rewatch
I tried to scroll past real fast.
00:29:29
The Amazing Rewatch
um Oh, and the Cowboys new catchphrase for this season is son of a buck. Oh, yeah. They said that a lot. Son of a buck. Last season it was, oh my gravy. And they did say that a couple of times in this episode too. But yeah, son of a buck was what they said several times.
00:29:43
The Amazing Rewatch
So I don't know where they get their phrases, but...
00:29:48
The Amazing Rewatch
There's not anything really interesting. This is the second episode to begin at the pit stop since season 14. Okay.
00:29:55
The Amazing Rewatch
okay
00:29:57
The Amazing Rewatch
I mean, they technically are all at the pit stop when they start, but it they call it the pit start when they've had the rest period. so And the guy that ah greeted them at the pit stop on episode two was the mayor of Broken Hill, Winson Quee.
00:30:14
The Amazing Rewatch
We didn't talk about the last episode. Was there any interesting things about the last episode? Hold on. I'll tell you.
00:30:20
The Amazing Rewatch
Number one, episode one. ah
00:30:24
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh no, I hear children coming up the stairs. We're recording in the afternoon. In the daylight. In the daytime ah with children awake and nearby.
00:30:36
The Amazing Rewatch
we were already interrupted once. Yes. So this is a quick episode, which is totally fine. Okay, so there is a lot of trivia that we could have said about the last episode. Should we say it? Yeah.
00:30:47
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay, so this is for episode one. Sorry, we didn't say it then. So it marks the first time that a team is penalized with an automatic U-turn, um even though it wouldn't be incurred until the next leg because there was no detour on the first leg.
00:31:04
The Amazing Rewatch
ah First time they visit Oceania since season 13.
00:31:11
The Amazing Rewatch
ah Graham Keating, Sydney's town crier, was previously a pit stop grader in season two, and he made a cameo appearance in this season at the top of Sydney Harbor Bridge.
00:31:25
The Amazing Rewatch
that ah Features the first no-rest leg in the first leg. The first time that no team is eliminated in the first leg
00:31:34
The Amazing Rewatch
And yeah, I think that's it. Okay. We're already starting with a lot of new stuff. So I think it's going to be an exciting season. It's going fun. So thank you.
00:31:46
The Amazing Rewatch
think next we're going to go somewhere in Southeast Asia. We'll probably. yeah we're going It looks like it's going to be like a backwards route that they usually do. They have done it that way a couple of times, but usually they go like Europe or Africa first or like South America I bet we'll probably like take a charter back to Sydney and then get on flights to Southeast Asia is where I guess we're going.
00:32:07
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. That would make sense. I haven't looked yet. i want I just want to like try to be as much surprised as I can until I can't anymore. So we'll see. But thank you for listening. Come and join us for episode three. And we'll see you next time.
00:32:24
