Previously on The Amazing race Australia, teams hit the ground running in South Korea, alliances were forged, miracles happened, true colours were revealed and our first team was eliminated. Tom & Tyler powered to the pitstop first. Tonight we cross the country to the most heavily guarded border. What mistake will cost one team the race? Intro is playing!
One of the largest cities in Asia, Seoul is home to 25m, it is the capital of South Korea. Here 10 teams will depart in the order they arrived for our second leg.
Make your way to Gwanghwamun plaza and accurately count the 364 fountains in the plaza to get your next clue.
Tom & Tyler are looking over there shoulders to look at all the competitive teams. They know they have a competitive sporting background to knock out the challenges.
2024 Korean Won for this leg. Viv & Joey are worried they're gonna get on each others nerves
Hayley & Mikayla depart, as do Tim & Rod. The boys are coming for first today.
Tom & Tyler arrive and they note they need to count all the ones that are off as well. The remaining teams depart and head to the fountains. The nuns are at the bottom, and note they have a game plan to pray to God for help, he's their secret weapon.
Team begin counting, Viv & Joey already submit an incorrect guess. Tom & Tyler are struggling to add it up, but finally get the clue in first. Make your way to the DMZ and leave a message of peace and hope to the people of Korea. When they arrive, they need to find the ribbon fence and place it alongside thousands of others to get their next clue.
Tyler considered telling Viv & Joey but they thought they'd get it. Viv says she's confused and doesn't get it. Tim & Rod calculate the right answer and are off to the DMZ. Hayley & Mikayla are off in 3rd. Viv & Joey finally get it and are out in 4th. In the taxi, Joey realises he never brought out his calculator to add up the numbers they counted
Sid & Ash arrive at the fountains in 5th, followed by the Indigenous couple. Femi & Nick have gotten lost and can't find the fountains. They arrive and see the nuns are already there.
Tyler & Tom hit the DMZ and search for the fence. They know about the political nature and see it's so quiet. They're hoping to build their lead, they think they have a buffer.
Randomly the alpaca farmers finish the fountains, as do Jasmin & Jerome. Amani & Rowah are frustrated and can't count it, Ash & Sid are frazzled too. The nuns get it, the muslim girls don't. Femi & Nick pop out of nowhere with the answer.
Ash notes that Sid's strong point is maths. The muslim girls get the answer and run off to a cab. Ash & Sid are freaking out that they're gonna be eliminated, Ash tells Sid to calm down but they start to crumble under pressure. Sid starts swearing because they can't get it. Commercial break.
