Plot
The Last Team Will Spend the Night in the Dungeon (Netherlands and Czech Republic)
The Amazing Race Australia
- The seven remaining teams travel from Cape Town, South Africa to Prague, Czech Republic. In Amsterdam, the teams are challenged to stomach a local delicacy. At Prague, the friendships start to splinter, and one team's decision to put the prize ahead of maintaining the relationships they have built up could come back to haunt them. At the Detour, some teams struggle to find the key to a damsel's heart, while others have their strength put to the test when they deliver a princess to her castle.—Allister Coots
- As the first team to arrive at the last Pit Stop, surfers Tyler & Nathan are the first team to depart at 3:15pm. They open up their clue which directs them to fly to Amsterdam, Netherlands and locate the Oud Hollands Gebakkraam food stand where they must buy and eat two traditional doughnuts known as Applebols, before they receive their next clue. Farmers Matt & Tom, father & son Jeff & Luke and married bikers Kelly & Dave join them among the first group at Cape Town Airport and book themselves onto a flight that leaves just after 7pm. The last three teams cut it a little finer, but sisters Alana & Mel, models Sam & Renae and dating couple Anastasia & Chris all make the same flight.
When all seven teams land at Amsterdam, they split up and take different modes of transport to Oud Hollands Gebakkraam, with Kelly & Dave and Jeff & Luke opting to travel by train while the other teams take taxis. The train proves to be the faster of the two options as Kelly & Dave and Jeff & Luke are the first teams to arrive at the food stand. After they have downed their Applebols, the next clue tells them to travel by train to Prague, Czech Republic and find the Powder Tower, one of the old city's gates, to receive their next clue. The first four teams to complete the eating task will receive tickets to sleeper cabins for the 15 hour train trip, while the last three teams have to spend the ride in seats. Anastasia & Chris and Matt & Tom take the last two sleeper tickets, leaving Sam & Renae, Tyler & Nathan and Alana & Mel in seats for the train trip.
The seven teams arrive in Prague at 9am the next morning and make their way to the Powder Tower by taxis. Although Tyler & Nathan's taxi drops them off right next to the cluebox, they don't see it and decide to search inside the tower. Many of the other teams follow them like sheep. Although Alana & Mel are one of the last teams to catch a taxi from the train station, they have luck on their side when they notice the cluebox after they arrive at the Powder Tower, and open up their next clue, which tells them to make their way to Charles Bridge. Once they are there, the clue tells them that a "holey" statue will lead them to their next clue. As they read it, one of the other teams sees them when they look out a window of the tower, and it isn't long before the other six teams are at the cluebox receiving the clue.
When the teams make it to Charles Bridge, there is again a little bit of walking around in a search for the next clue. Chris is first to find out what the "holey" part of the clue is all about when he sees a hole in the base of the statue of St. Vitus, and he and Anastasia tell Alana & Mel and Tyler & Nathan that they probably have to stick a hand into the hole of the statue, and is proven right when he does so and pulls out the next clue, which the three teams soon discover is the Detour, which offers them the choices of Chivalry or Delivery. Teams choosing Chivalry have to dress up in armour and search the Old Town Square, where they have to find a man and ask him "Do you have the key to the damsel's heart?". When they find the right man, he will give them a key. They then have to search the square for a damsel in distress who is at the Hotel U Prince, and give her the key in exchange for their next clue. Teams choosing Delivery have to make their way to the St. Agnes of Bohemia Convent, where they must carry a young princess in a royal sedan chair to the Narodni Galerie, which is also located in the Old Town Square. Once they have reached their destination, the princess will give them their next clue.
The three leading teams all choose Delivery, but all find carrying the sedan chair to be more of a challenge than they expect. The next two teams to find the clue in the holey statue, Kelly & Dave and Matt & Tom, see the first three struggling and both decide to try Chivalry, only to find searching for the man with the key to be just as difficult. Sam & Renae have a different struggle when they cannot even find either of the choices. They meet Jeff & Luke when the father and son are on their way to Delivery, but even though Luke points them in the right direction, the models decide to go the opposite way, and them blame Jeff & Luke when they still cannot find it.
Tyler & Nathan are the first team to bring their sedan chair all the way to the Narodni Galerie, where the little princess they have carried hands them their next clue, which is the Road Block. The teams now have to make their way to a small medieval village at Strelecký Island near the Vltava River, where one person from each team has to choose one of the coloured targets on an archery range, where they are given 40 arrows with which they have to hit the target twice. If the person can hit a bullseye in the centre of the target with one of their shots, their team will receive a card from the National Australia Bank with a bonus credit of A$50 that they can use on the Race.
Nathan makes quick work of the shooting, and he and Tyler receive their next clue, which tells them to make their way to the next Pit Stop at Prague Castle, and warns them that the last team will spend the night in the dungeon. They step on the mat, and for the second leg in a row, host Grant Bowler tells them that they are team number one. As the winners of this leg of the race, they each receive a A$5,000 shopping spree at Kathmandu outdoor equipment and clothing stores.
Anastasia & Chris are the next team to bring their sedan chair to the Narodni Galerie and complete the Detour. Chris performs the Road Block and quickly gets his first arrow on the target, but he finds it harder to make the second shot. With only six arrows remaining, he pulls back on his bow and hits the arrow on the bullseye. He and Anastasia receive the NAB card with their clue, and check in second at Prague Castle.
Back at the Old Town Square, Kelly & Dave and Matt & Tom are the first teams to locate the damsel and exchange their keys for the Road Block clue. Dave and Matt fire their arrows at the target as Jeff & Luke complete the Detour. They arrive at the medieval village as Dave hits the target for the second time, while Matt fails to hit the target at all and has no arrows left. He asks Dave for his spare arrows, but he just laughs and he and Kelly run off towards the castle. Luke needs only ten arrows to hit the target twice, so he is the next to be asked by Matt for his spare arrows. Luke hands the arrows over, hoping the gesture proves helpful toward the father and son in the future.
The bikers decide to save some money by taking a train to Prague Castle, but unlike in Amsterdam, it proves to be the slower of the two options. Jeff & Luke and Matt & Tom make it to Prague Castle in third and fourth, while Kelly & Dave check in fifth. Alana & Mel struggled more than most other teams with the sedan chair, but they finally drag it to the Narodni Galerie and complete the Detour. Sam & Renae finally stop wandering around and find the St. Agnes of Bohemia Convent and a sedan chair with a young princess. After the models complete the Detour, Alana is still shooting at her target when Renae joins her. Renae is the first to get her second shot on the target, which allows her and Sam to check in sixth, leaving Alana & Mel as the last team to arrive and receive the news from Grant that they have been eliminated from the race.
