[Western music] [horse neighs] ♪ Dan: Yee-haw, and welcome to the western frontier here in Tucson, Arizona, where our two remaining teams are ready to stake their claim in the final standoff for $50,000 on this final dawn of Relative Race.

Ten days ago in St. Louis... Are you guys ready for this?

Teams: Yes.

Dan: Four teams gathered at the Gateway to the West, ready to head out westward ho on a journey of a lifetime.

- Nice to meet you.

- Oh!

Dan: But their trek across the country would prove difficult.

- Don't turn yet!

- It's not here!

- Hey!

We on the clock!

Dan: And every skill will be put to the test.

- Oh.

Demetrius: It's extremely grueling and exhausting.

- It's okay, calm down.

Relax, it's okay.

Dan: Each day would either bring them one step closer to the final showdown... - Got this.

- Team Green, you finished in first place.

Elizabeth: We got this little baby right here.

We're not sure what it is, because of the lock.

Dan: ...or bring them closer to elimination.

[crash] - Oh my gosh.

Dan: You have earned your first strike.

Demetrius: Pick your arms up.

- I got my arms up.

Dan: But every step also came with the promise... Elizabeth: North Kingston, right here!

Dan: ...of finding new family.

- I'm your mother.

Maria: I didn't know how I was gonna feel, but like... Elizabeth: Happy?

Maria: So happy.

Kristin: She's not in a photo anymore.

She was in front of us.

Man: That was such a blessing, to hold my child for the first time.

- So, that's your big brother.

You good?

- Yeah.

We felt nothing but love this whole entire experience.

Man 2: I'm your cousin on your father's side.

Demetrius: It finally feels like a part of me is coming together.

Woman: I'm here for you.

We are here for you.

The whole family's here for you.

- Oh my goodness.

Maria: Timing is everything, and I know we're here for a reason.

Demetrius: It is absolutely life-changing.

Marcus: This is a dream come true.

This the best thing ever.

Dan: However, early in the race, on Day 3... - We're not on the right road.

Dan: Team Black came dangerously close to elimination... One more strike, and you'll be headed home.

...but managed to stay in the game.

Kaley: Go, girl, go!

Dan: While their competition managed to rack up first-place prizes... Marcus: They gave us a box with a lock.

- I guess.

- Need a key.

Today, we come home with a "W." Dan: Then, on Day 6, Team Black finally received their third strike.

Your journey on Relative Race has ended.

Maria: Don't give up, okay?

- Thank you.

Dan: On Day 7, all three remaining teams forged onward with only one strike each.

Maria: We're ready for this.

- We will win today.

Marcus: Today is first or nothing.

- Yes!

- Whoo!

Keith: Turn around, yeah, we're going the wrong way.

Dan: But by Day 9, Team Green had racked up three total strikes and a subsequent elimination.

- I'm sad to see you leave.

- I'll be back.

Keith: Oh, we'll be back.

Marcus: At the end of the day, we all are getting what we came here for, which is family.

Dan: Now, the sisters on Team Red and the marines on Team Blue are here in the Arizona desert, ready to lay it all out on the table as they take aim at the prize of $50,000.

This is Day 10 of Relative Rac.

DNA tells us who we are and where we came from.

Following their own DNA, four teams are racing... - Yes!

- Blue!

Dan: ...to win $50,000... - Yeah!

Dan: ...and to find their family.

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ [Western music] ♪ Maria: It's Day 10.

We made it.

We're here.

- We're in, like, the Wild, Wild West.

- It's beautiful.

It feels like the Wild, Wild West.

Chonta: So, we have no clue what lies ahead, but we're excited.

- Welcome, teams, and congratulations on making it here to Day 10.

When you started this race ten days ago, you were in St. Louis, Missour, the Gateway to the West, and now look where you're at.

It doesn't get much more westen than this.

Many of our ancestors trekked westward through desert terrain just like this in search of a better life, and now we're all standing in one of the most southwestern corners of the United States.

Teams, welcome to Day 10 at White Stallion Ranch.

With 3,000 acres of private saguaro forest and a stunning backdrop that's been featured in dozens of Hollywood films throughout the years, this historic property is one of the oldest functioning dude ranches left in the entire country.

So, teams, are you ready?

- Absolutely, let's go, yes.

- We're ready.

- Let's do it.

- Today, each team will gallop, scamper, shoot, and climb through a series of four unique challenges, and you'll be doing it head-to-head.

Demetrius: We have no idea what the challenges are gonna be.

- It's just us two teams, and... - It's game time.

- Maybe cactus wrestling?

- Game on.

- And there's more.

Much of the west was settled surrounding gold and silver mines.

Today, each of you will have 50 pieces of silver to spend.

You'll deposit that silver based on how well you think you're going to perform at each challenge.

Win the challenge, and you keep your silver.

Lose it, and it's gone forever.

The catch is, you must deposit all of your silver before the end of the day.

There's no reward for being frugal.

Throughout the race, each of you earned multiple Day 10 benefits.

Inside each of your boxes is silver.

How much?

We'll tell you that at the end of the day when we unlock the boxes and count the coins and add them to your total.

Today, teams, it's all about the silver.

If you have the most at the end of the day, you'll be able to convert that into $50,000 and be crowned our new champion of Relative Race.

Let's let the games begin.

♪ - In the Wild West, disputes were often settled by old-fashioned duels.

Welcome to Quick Draw.

Here are the rules: Both teams will square off in a best of five series duels using low-impact paintball pistols.

The first player to draw their pistol and break the paint ball on their opponent wins the round.

The first team to win three rounds wins the challenge.

And now, for the first time, you have to decide how many coins are you willing to deposit?

How confident are you in your aim?

How fast do you think your reflexes are?

Team Red, step forward.

Make your deposit.

Elizabeth: So, to be honest, I'm a little worried.

You know, they're both marines, but I try to get my courage up and just do what we gotta do.

Maria: We came up with a simple strategy, was to jingle a few more coins in our hands so they couldn't hear, or... - [coughing] - While we're putting the coins in the box, so you don't know what's going on.

- Something in my throat.

Dan: Team Blue, please step forward.

Make your deposit.

Demetrius: So, our strategy as it relates to how much we decide to deposit is, just go in the middle.

Dan: The deposits have been made.

Get ready for Quick Draw.

[rattling] Dan: Players, get ready.

Draw!

Demetrius: My strategy was to simply stand and turn, making myself a smaller target.

Maria: I cocked back my gun, and didn't realize why it wasn't working.

- Grab it, Maria.

It dropped, it dropped.

[splat] Maria: I look at the floor.

The cartridge clip is on the floor.

Dan: Blue Team is the winner in round one.

Demetrius: I'm very confident that neither one of them was gonna be able to outshoot me.

- It's okay.

[Western music] ♪ - Quick Draw is a tough one for us.

We haven't shot guns before, so this might be hard.

- Yeah.

[paint ball gun fires] Demetrius: We're marines, and so I've been around guns my whole career, so I know we're gonna do well.

- Teams, remember, if you draw early, you will lose the round.

Team Blue has won the first round.

Players, are you ready?

- Yes.

For round two, it's Chonta versus me.

I just hope she doesn't have as good of a shot as Demetrius.

- Yeah.

Chonta: I've had experience shooting in the past, so I'm confident I can do pretty well.

- Draw!

[paint ball gun fires] [firing continues] Elizabeth: Once Dan says, "Draw!"

you have to keep your feet planted, so it's really hard to dodge the bullets, because you can't move!

Chonta: I ran out of bullets, so now all I can do is dodge what's coming at me.

Elizabeth: She's bopping.

She's weaving.

I have all the time in the world and I was lasered in.

[paint ball gun fires] [splat] Headshot.

Dan: Oh, Blue Team down.

Red Team is the winner.

Elizabeth: Round two, I shot a sitting duck.

- We are tied at one round apiece.

For rounds three and floor, the players will start back to back.

On my count, you will pace off five paces.

- It's round three, I'm up against Demetrius, and I'm thinking, "This might be tough."

Demetrius: I'm not worried one bit.

Dan: Players, are you ready?

- Yes.

- Yep.

Dan: One, two, three, four, five.

Draw!

[paint ball guns firing] Elizabeth: Man, shooting at Demetrius is hard.

[firing continues] [splat] Dan: Red Team has lost round three.

Elizabeth: The bullet explodes right in my face.

I'm out.

Demetrius: I was locked in on her.

Dan: Blue Team has won two rounds.

Red Team has won one round.

Maria: It's me versus Chonta, so either I hit this, or we lose.

- Draw!

[paint ball guns firing] [splat] Dan: That's it!

Maria: I didn't hesitate.

I just focused, and I got her in two shots.

Dan: Red Team hits the mark.

Blue Team has lost that round.

We are now tied at two rounds apiece.

That means we're headed into sudden death, and this will be different.

♪ [click] - Welcome to Sudden Death.

In this final round, you will work together as a team in tandem.

You will face off 20 paces from each other.

However, one teammate will be behind the other.

Oh yeah, one other thing-- The shooter will be blindfolded.

Decide who will be the target, and who will be the shooter, and get ready, because the moment a paintball breaks, that's our winner.

Demetrius: I'm wearing the blindfold and shooting.

Chonta's my guide.

Maria: Sudden death.

Demetrius is up again.

Elizabeth: But this time, he can't see.

- And we have a strategy.

- We sure do.

- In three, two, one.

Draw!

[paint ball guns firing] Elizabeth: Again, again!

Demetrius: We really didn't start off with a strategy.

We're deciding to talk and for her just to let me know where they're standing.

So I was-- I'm confident that if I get on target, I'll make contact.

- Safety's off here.

- Safety's off.

Elizabeth: She only has to pull that trigger, and I'm the eyes, the aim, and everything else.

Again.

Go.

Safety's off.

Again.

[paint ball gun fires] [splat] - Yes!

Dan: Oh, Red Team hit Chonta right in the mark.

[excited screams] Maria: Team Red, we got this.

Elizabeth: The "W," right?

- We got this.

- We got this.

- Let's go.

Dan: Red Team wins in sudden death.

- It's okay though.

There's three more challenges.

We'll get this, we'll make it work.

We wanted to get the first one, but we work good under pressure, so we'll bounce back.

- So Team Red wins the first challenge, but I'll remind both teams there are three challenges remaining and anything can happen over the course of those three challenges.

So now, the second challenge on the other side of the ranch.

I'll meet you there.

♪ ♪ Teams, welcome to The Rock.

This 100-ton jagged piece of earth and stone is your second challenge.

You're going to climb it, and you're going to be timed doing it.

It will test your strength, your endurance, and even your fear of heights.

You will make two climbs.

The first one is fairly easy.

It's only 20 feet.

The next one will be more difficult.

It's 35 feet, and you have to tackle an overhang.

You'll complete each climb by ringing the bell at the top.

If you can't do that, you'll be given a ten-minute max out time period.

You'll be held onto the rock by a professional belayer.

He's there for safety.

If you fall, he'll hold the rope, but he will not be pulling you up the rock at any time.

The team with the best combined time wins this challenge.

Elizabeth: I'm trying to keep my game face on just to not let Blue on to my fear, but I'm scared.

- Now it's time once again for your deposits, but think carefully.

That thing's a lot taller than it looks down here.

Maria: We're shaking the bag so Blue Team doesn't know how many coins that we're putting in.

- Demetrius, Chonta, step up.

Make your deposit on The Rock.

Chonta: We understand that strategy's important and at some point, all of the coins have to go in, so we just made a strategy to just go somewhere in the middl, but definitely not the maximum.

[jingling] - Team Red, Team Blue, the deposits have been made into your bank.

How confident do you feel?

Team Blue?

Did you have to train on walls?

- It's been a long time, Dan, so I wanna, you know, curtail my confidence and just focus on the task at hand, but I believe I can get up there.

- Maria, Elizabeth, what are you thinking right no?

- Well, if I'm being honest, I have a little fear of heights, but I'm not looking down.

That's my strategy.

- She got this.

She got this.

We got this.

- Teams, there's only one final thing we need to know, and that is, who's going to climb first?

I'm gonna flip this piece of silver to determine who climbs first.

The Relative Race logo with the St. Louis arch will be heads.

Call it.

- Call it.

- Heads.

[ping] Dan: It's tails.

That means Team Blue gets to decide who climbs first.

- We decide that Red will climb first.

- You want Red to set the mark to beat.

All right.

Maria: We're confident, so that fact that they chose us first.

It's fine.

We'll show 'em how it's done.

- Just shows how they're scared and they wanna take a lesson before they get up there.

- Ladies, are you ready?

- Let's go.

- Get ready to climb The Rock.

Elizabeth: Ooh, my hands are clammy.

♪ As soon as I stepped up to The Rock and looked up, it looked massive.

- Like a skyscraper.

Elizabeth: Seriously.

Maria: Literally.

- All right, let's do this.

- Let's go, Lizzie.

- All right.

- All right, Elizabeth.

Come on, come on now.

You got this.

You lift that foot and your clock starts.

Maria: Let's go.

[ding] Dan: And that clock has started, Elizabeth.

- You got this, Lizzie.

Yup.

Elizabeth: Now after you take that first step, it is so much harder and taller than it looks from the ground.

- Let's go.

Two more feet, two more feet, two more feet.

You got this, you got this, you got this.

I see you, come on.

Elizabeth: And I'm feeling paralyzed, but I gotta finish this climb.

Maria: You got this.

One more foot, here we go.

Yup, yup, you're almost there.

You're almost there.

Ding that bell, ding that bell.

Let's go, pull yourself up.

Let's go, hit it.

Hit the bell, hit the bell.

Elizabeth: The bell is 5, 6 feet away from me, but it just seemed impossible to reach.

- You got this.

Chonta: I'm glad Liz went first, 'cause I was able to watch where she was putting her feet, and what fingerholds she was using.

Elizabeth: It was almost a risk.

I kind of jumped to the bell.

[ringing] Dan: Done.

Time!

Elizabeth: I'm so scared.

Please get me down.

- You did j-- You did great.

- Oh, goodness gracious.

Maria: You did great, you did great.

You got this.

Good job, 'Lizabeth.

- Aw, thanks.

- You did great.

- Oh my gosh, I thought I was gonna fall every time.

- Nice job.

Nice job.

Team Blue, who is going to climb first for your team?

Chonta, are you ready?

- I'm ready.

- All right.

Demetrius: Go.

Dan: You got this, Chonta.

Your clock is running.

You've lifted your foot.

Demetrius: Use your foot, the other foot.

Pull yourself up, yep.

Stick your other foot right there.

Right foot, yeah.

Trying to encourage her.

Keep going, keep going.

Trying to direct her where to stick her foot.

Put your foot in this little hole, right here to your left.

To your left.

See that hole?

Yep.

Nope, nope.

Yep, there you go.

Reach over to the right.

Nope.

You got it, you got-- Put your foot back there.

You see that right one?

Reach up.

All right, come on, come on.

Get back to the wall, get back to the wall.

Come on, baby.

Come on, come on, come on.

Chonta: I couldn't keep a grip on the wall with my hands or my feet, so I just started to hold the rope.

Dan: You got this, Chonta.

Demetrius: Come on, baby.

You got it, you got it.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Dan: You got it, Chonta.

Demetrius: Come on, come on.

Nope, nope.

Stay there.

Babe, stay there.

Bring your left foot up.

It won't stay?

Hold back on.

Chonta: I'm just struggling, having a hard time.

I don't know what you should do with your body.

I'm not knowing what you should do at all besides just try to power it through.

Demetrius: Not that one.

You see the one to the left?

Look to your left.

- I'm looking to my left.

Demetrius: Right there.

Bring your right foot over to your left some.

It's space there for you to lift yourself.

Look to your right, to your right.

Put your hand there.

If you grab it with your hand there, then you can get your foot over there.

- [grunts] Dan: It's all right, Chonta.

It's all right.

Maria: Heart's pounding in my chest, 'cause if she's struggling, who knows what can happen?

Demetrius: Stay with it, stay with it.

Stay with it.

Is it your hands?

- Yeah.

Demetrius: Okay.

- It's so slippery.

They ble-- They're bleeding.

- Okay.

- Chonta, you can stop if you want to.

- No.

Demetrius: Grab inside that hole.

One, two, three, go.

- Ah!

Demetrius: So it was obvious to see it was not happening for my wife.

It's tough to see her struggling like that.

Chonta: And so I end up just kind of using all of my strength, my arm strength.

I can't get back on there.

- You can just ask to time out.

You tell us, Chonta.

- My arms.

- Don't use your arms.

Come on.

- You're at eight minutes.

Demetrius: Come on down.

Hey, hey, keep your image.

Come on down, come on down.

As I watched my wife struggling, I know how much she wants this.

Dan: Chonta, you're at nine and a half minutes.

Demetrius: It's going to be impossible in 30 seconds, babe.

Maria: Chonta hung in there.

She was there all the way to the end.

She didn't want to give up, even if it cost them the ten minutes.

Demetrius: No more energy, you're good.

- Okay.

- So, Chonta, you're gonna time out?

- Yes.

Dan: You gave it everything.

You gave it everything.

There's nothing to be ashamed of, Chonta.

There's two more challenges, and Demetrius has got the toughest challenge ahead of hi.

He might be able to make up that time.

You never know.

- Proud of you.

- You did awesome.

That is not easy.

Maria: We're really feeling for Chonta right now.

Like, this is extremely hard.

- But at the same time, like, we have no idea how fast Robocop is gonna scale that wall.

- Yeah.

- This is the second climb now.

Demetrius, are you ready?

- I'm ready.

- Okay, any time you lift that foot and your clock start.

[ding] - [grunting] I have no experience rock climbing.

The last time I even climbed anything remotely, like trying to climb up, it was simply doing my training in the military, but I'm pretty athletic, and so I figured I would be abe to will myself up there, if nothing else.

Chonta: I'm watching him.

He's just climbing up using his hands and feet.

He just goes up almost like a roach.

Dan: Be careful.

Elizabeth: As we expected, he just tu-tu-tu-tu-tu-tu.

Flew up that rock.

- You did it, baby.

Even though I timed out, thanks to my Spider-Man husband, we are back in the game.

♪ - Take your time.

Maria: I've kind of done some type of rock climbing for fun here and there, but nothing like this.

So, the pressure's on a little bit.

Elizabeth: You got this, Maria.

Don't think, just do.

You got it.

♪ Dan: 'Kay, Maria.

You're the last climber for this challenge.

You saw how quickly Demetrius got to the top.

Are you ready?

- Let's do it.

[ding] Elizabeth: Yep, get your foot in, yep.

Absolutely good.

Maria: You know you wanna make it to that next open area just to grab your grip, but you're not sure.

You could slip at any second.

- Remember, dig that foot in, Maria.

Tippy-toe.

Yep, be-- Wise choices, okay?

You got it.

Maria: Talk to me.

Is there a hole?

- There's a hole.

Your bottom right foot.

No, uh, right-- wait.

Maria: I start strong, I'm feeling good, and I can't find my footing at one point.

Elizabeth: Up a little bit more.

It's okay, you got it.

Does that feel good to you?

All right.

To the right-- It's all right.

Hold.

Now, to the right.

Okay, beautiful.

Get it in the nook, Maria.

Maria: I panic a little bit, because-- And I get stuck for a second.

Elizabeth: You got it.

You're halfway there, boo.

Calm, cool, collected.

Get your hands, there you go.

Perfect.

Maria: I end up putting my knee down to at least try and boost myself up, because I knew if I was gonna hold in that position, I probably wouldn't be able to make it and hold on much longer.

Elizabeth: Get that left foot.

There you go.

[ringing] - Time has stopped.

Maria: My hands are still burning, but we did it.

Demetrius: The sisters did good, but it's a combined time, so I think we're gonna be pretty close.

- The times are official, and I can tell you that we know who's won this challenge.

And I bet you'd like to know too, right?

- Yes.

- And you're gonna find that out at the end of the day.

Our next challenge is just down the road, so get set for Shuck 'n' Chuck.

- Shuck 'n' Chuck?

[Western music] ♪ ♪ - Well, teams.

You've arrived at the third of your four challenges.

This is Shuck 'n' Chuck.

This is a head-to-head challenge, in which you'll be given a certain amount of time to shuck 50 ears of corn and chuck them down at your corresponding boards.

Now, those boards have three holes of different sizes and point values.

You'll be given six minutes to shuck, chuck, and try to score as many points as possible.

At the end of six minutes, the team with the most points will be crowned king of Shuck 'n' Chuck.

And please keep this in mind, as you're shucking your corn, if it breaks, you can't throw it.

You've gotta keep the corn whole.

Now, it's time once again to deposit your silver coins into your banks.

This time, Team Blue, you'll be the first to make your deposit.

Here you go.

[jingling] Maria: We think Team Blue deposited big on this challenge.

Demetrius: So we're looking at this challenge, and we know we're gonna do well, so we decide to deposit 15 coins.

Team Red, it's your turn.

Step up, make your deposit.

Ooh, so close.

Oh, wow.

Dan: Well, this is your chance to be real cowboys, but just in case you need a litlte help, I'd like you to meet Gabe and Steve.

Steven: My name is Steven Wannebo.

I'm a wrangler at the White Stallion Ranch.

I've been here for over two and a half years.

The object of team penning is to push cattle out of the group and get them to go where you want them to go, to the other side of the arena into a pen.

This can definitely be hard depending on cows' mood, the day, your team, your mood.

[chuckles] Gabe: I'm Gabe Arteaga.

I'm a wrangler here at the White Stallion Ranch.

I've been here three years and the best part of the job is just getting on a horse every day.

There's a lot of moving parts that go into it, so you have to have a lot of things working together in order to get those cows in the pen.

People that haven't done this before, you'll see them go in very timid.

They're not on the same page as their horse because they don't know how to give them their cues.

Dan: Gabe and Steve are professional wranglers here at White Stallion Ranch, and they're here to help you.

In any given round, if you can't round up those cattle and put them into that pen within three minutes, then the pros will be called in to help you out.

Understood?

- Understood.

Dan: Like it or not, it's time for that final deposit.

And remember, everything that's left in those bags must go in here.

Team Red, step forward.

Put your final coins in the bank.

Maria: We're still a little bit uneasy because with the coin factor, we're still kind of up in the air.

Dan: Team Blue, please step forward.

Demetrius: We have to deposit everything.

My mindset is, we have to win this.

- You ready to mount up?

- Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Dan: Great.

It's time for The Roundup.

♪ [mooing] Dan: The last time you had an option to determine who would go firs, that option fell to Team Blue.

Team Red, it's now your turn.

Who do you want to go first on The Roundup?

- Blue should go first.

- Blue's gonna go first.

Chonta, Demetrius, please make your mark over there at the starting line.

[sizzling] In this first round, you gotta get one in the pen.

One in the pen.

Go!

Chonta: My experience level in horseback riding is zero.

Go, go!

C'mon!

C'mon!

Demetrius: I didn't know what to think.

I've never been this close to a cow or a horse.

Ha, ha, ha!

Outta there, out.

Maria: So, Team Blue is... Yeah, not doing so well.

- Go!

[grunts] Maria: We have to be aggressiv.

- Yes.

- Come on, come on, come on!

Ah, ah!

Baby, the other-- Dang it.

We don't know how to round up cattle.

Never ridden a horse.

What I've figured out doing in round one is you have to wok in tandem to direct the cattle to where you want them to go.

Go!

Chonta: Go!

Go, no, no, no, no.

Gabe: When it starts going bad, it's hard to get it back.

If they're scared and timid, then the horse can kind of read that and it's harder for them to get on the same page.

- You're at three minutes.

In come the pros.

- All right, Chonta.

Turn your horse this way.

- C'mon.

Chonta: The wranglers came roaring in, and that's when things finally started coming together.

Gabe: Slow it down.

All right, we're gonna separate one, okay?

Elizabeth: Watching the wranglers really helped key us into the strategy.

Maria: Yes, because you have to drive the cattle against the wall because the pn is ten feet from the wall, so once you have them going, they have to make a sharp 180 degree turn into the pen.

Elizabeth: Yes, and that turn is key to this challenge.

- Ah, ah, ah!

Woo!

- Time!

- Not bad.

- Not bad at all, and I'll be shocked if those New York City girls could do any better.

Dan: Team Red, you're up.

We're gonna start with round one for Team Red.

Go!

Let's get that roundup going.

- Here we go.

Let's go get 'em.

- Hey, hey, hey.

Get 'em.

Maria: This challenge is a beast.

- Yeah.

Maria: With beasts.

Elizabeth: And trying to get them to listen to you, that is not happening.

Maria, cut 'im off.

Ah, you little rascal!

Maria: And they were sneaking out every chance they got.

- Here we go.

Elizabeth: C'mon, move!

Move!

Maria: So, you really gotta sty close and kind of angle them-- - Create a wall, almost.

Yeah.

Maria: Corner them.

- I wanna stay behind them.

Stay close so he doesn't go between us.

- Lead him, Lizzie.

I'm gonna cut him off.

I'mma cut him off, Lizzie.

Let's go, boy.

Come on.

Come on.

- Yes, yes!

- Let's go, Lizzie!

- Oh my goodness.

- Time!

Demetrius: Of round one, I'm very disappointed after seeing how quickly Red Team was able to do it without any help.

♪ - The stakes are higher in round two.

Now, Team Blue, you gotta get two steers in the pen.

Chonta: However, still very hopeful.

Still very hopeful.

- Demetrius, are you ready?

Chonta, are you ready?

Go!

- Go, go.

Each time it gets harder and harder.

There's more cattle that you need to round up.

- Go.

- Go!

Dang it.

I'm gonna get them all out of this corner, Chonta.

Chonta: Okay.

Demetrius: However, our teamwork is getting better, and every round is getting easier.

Chonta: Let me go to the right.

- Dang it.

Stay here, babe.

Stay here with him.

I gotta get this one.

- You're at three minutes.

In come the pros.

Steve and Gabe, give 'em a hand!

- Go, go, go, go.

Steven: When we're sent in to help somebody out, if they have the cows still together, that already is gonna give us a huge advantage helping them get them in quick.

If they're separated, then we pretty much have to just go straight to the beginning.

Dan: Looking good, guys.

Steven: Look at this gap right here.

Come around with me, Demetrius.

Get around the front.

Dan: That's it, Demetrius.

Get up here.

Gabe: Move foward, move forward, move forward.

Demetrius: Stay there, babe.

Stay there.

- Don't let'em get out, Chonta.

Don't let him get out.

- Move, move, Chonta!

- Move backwards?

- Chonta, out of the way.

Let him get in.

Demetrius: Let him in.

Let him in.

- Time!

Elizabeth: To be honest, I was worried about rounding up two steers.

- Yeah.

- It looked difficult.

- Very difficult.

Dan: Team Red, are you ready?

On my mark, go!

- Let's go.

Bring it.

Yup.

Yup, let's go.

Elizabeth: Round two is much harder to wrangle in two calves.

- Definitely.

- Come on.

Come on.

- You got it.

Bring 'em over.

- Come here.

All right, I'll get another one then.

- Lizzie, I got you.

Let's go.

I got you.

Come on.

All right, come on.

Bring 'em in.

- Ah, ah, ah!

Ooh, you little-- Should we get one?

Maria: No, you gotta get two.

Elizabeth: We couldn't get it.

- So the wranglers come in and have to assist us.

- Three minutes, the pros are coming in.

- [indistinct] together.

- Get these two, Lizzie.

- I'm trying.

I'm trying.

Maria: Our confidence on the second one after having the cavalry come in, not that it was really depleted, but it kind of just bothered us a little bit, I feel.

Get that one, let's go.

Elizabeth: Come on, guys.

All right, let's go.

- Get those two.

Hiya!

There we go.

Ooh, my foot.

- Ohh!

[both shouting] Maria: Let him in.

Let him in, Lizzie.

Let 'em in.

Lizzie, give 'em room.

You gotta give them room, Lizzie.

- Move forward.

- You gotta give 'em more room.

- Time!

- There's two in there.

I'm sorry.

We struggled this round.

- Which was kind of a punch to the gut, because we did awesome the first time.

Demetrius: So best case scenario, our times are pretty even right now.

It's riding on this last round.

[sizzling] Dan: Team Blue, this is your third and final round.

You have to get three cattle in the pen.

Are you ready, Demetrius, Chonta?

- Yes.

- Go!

- Go.

Go!

- Straight ahead.

Here.

Right here.

Once again, we're right back in it.

- But we're finally riding at our very best.

Go.

- Turn him!

Turn him, right here!

- Go, go!

- Baby, go-- Dang it.

- Ah.

[moo] - Agh!

At one point, I had this one cow, and it just kept circling around the pen.

[moo] - Look, I know $50,000 is on the line, but that was pretty funny.

Dan: The pros are in.

Here come Steve and Gabe to the rescue.

Chonta: We didn't beat the wranglers this time.

Demetrius: But I think we positioned ourselves pretty wel by the time they were called in.

Cut 'em off, Chonta.

Dan: That's it!

Hold 'em there, Chonta!

That's one.

That's two.

- Go, go, go forward.

Dan: Time!

Maria: This is the final run, so we gotta give it everything we got.

Everything.

Dan: Team Red, it's your third and final roundup.

Go!

- Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Elizabeth: Third round, we have two calves just waiting there.

Waiting for us, making it super easy.

Maria: All right, those two are in line.

Get these two.

Let's go-- Get these.

Yep, get one going.

So, we just needed one more.

Come on, Camacho.

Come on, get 'em, Camacho.

Lizzie, stay.

They're gonna stay.

I need your help.

Elizabeth: All right.

C'mon, boy.

This way.

C'mon, nice and easy.

Maria: But, one that did not just wanna go.

We kept circling, circling, and even with the both of us there, it kept slippin' out.

- Should I keep this one?

- You gotta move, ba-- You gotta back him up!

Dan: You're comin' up on three, two, one.

- Let's go, Camacho.

- Go!

Maria: Come on, here we go.

- Look, they don't have any.

Maria: Finally, time's up and the wranglers have to come in.

C'mon.

- Oh, these guys.

Come on.

Come on, Camacho.

Come on, baby.

- Get in there.

Get in there.

Steven: Stay right there, stay right there.

- Get in there.

Get in there, y'all.

Get in there.

Get in.

Dan: Time!

- That was tough.

I'm sorry for yelling at you.

Maria: We get the third cow in.

- [sigh] - And we're still kind of iffy about the times, but we do know that the first round, we didn't need help, so that's the only thing that's giving us a little bit of... Elizabeth: A little bit of hop.

Maria: Yeah, a little bit of hope, but who knows?

- The Roundup is up, and that's our final challenge of the day.

Now it's time to tally up the scores from all four challenge, and find out who's our new champion and who's going to walk home with $50,000.

♪ - Welcome back, teams.

This final day of Relative Race has been long, hot, and grueling, but you made it.

Demetrius, I gotta ask you, you got your hand wrapped.

What happened?

- First time riding a horse.

Probably some tricks and tips I didn't know about.

Dan: So you literally... Demetrius: Pulled the skin.

- You tore up your hand?

Demetrius: Yeah.

- Elizabeth, Maria, how has the day been for you?

- Definitely challenging, of course, so... We'll see how it goes.

- Relative Race is real, because for the past ten days, you've overcome bad weather, bad directions, and even bad tempers at times, but you know what?

In the end, you made it here, and the most important thing is you discovered family all along the way, and nothing is more important than family.

But the name of this show is Relative Race, and today somebody is gonna walk home with $50,000.

Demetrius: So, this is it.

There's nothing else we can do but wait for the results.

- And waiting?

Waiting is torture.

- Each of you finished in first place three times and each time you chose the Day 10 benefit.

Your benefits were these.

Well, these lockboxes have been unlocked.

Team Blue, I can tell you that in your first box were five silver dollars.

Team Red, your first Day 10 benefit also has five coins.

Team Blue, Team Red, you finished in first two more times throughout the race and two more times you chose your Day 10 benefit.

Elizabeth: As predicted, the Day 10 benefits, they cancelled each other out.

Maria: Yeah, that's a wash. Demetrius: Which means it all comes down to how well we did on the challenges.

- Teams, you were each given 50 silver coins that you had to spend throughout the day, and now we're gonna find out how much you deposited at each of the challenges.

We already know who won the first challenge of the day.

[paintball gun fires] [splat] But what we don't know is how much silver you deposited.

Chonta: As Dan approaches the Quick Draw box, I immediately regret how many coins we chose to deposit.

- Team Red, you were faster on the draw, and your aim was more accurate.

How many coins did you deposit?

Team Red: Seven.

Dan: Seven.

Those go into your pan.

You get to keep 'em.

Maria: Only seven?

I wish we would've went all in.

- I know, but how were we supposed to know that the marines couldn't shoot?

- Team Blue, how many coins did you deposit?

Team Blue: Nine.

- Nine coins.

Unfortunately, those coins are headed down the sluice and they're gone forever.

Team Red, you have the early lead.

After Quick Draw, we moved on to The Rock.

That rock was tall, but I thik once you started climbing, it was even tougher.

Do you agree?

- Yes.

A hundred percent.

Dan: We have totaled your times from both of those climbs.

Team Red, your total time was 10 minutes and 15 seconds.

Team Blue, how many coins did you deposit?

Team Blue: Twelve.

Dan: Twelve?

Your total time... was 10 minutes and 31 seconds.

Unfortunately, once again... [coins rattle] ...those are gone forever.

Team Red, you get to keep your silver.

How many coins did you bank?

- Fourteen, Dan.

- Your 14 coins go into your pan.

Demetrius: Now I'm thinkin', "We're in real trouble."

- After two challenges, you have what seems to be a commanding lead, but there are still two challenges to go.

From The Rock, you walked all the way to the other side of the ranch for Shuck 'n' Chuck.

You must've wondered, "What is Shuck 'n' Chuck?"

- I was until I saw the game.

Corn.

Chonta: We're gonna shuck some cho-- corn, and you're gonna chuck it somewhere.

Dan: 'Kay.

Well, Shuck 'n' Chuck was not only about speed, but accuracy.

Team Red, how many coins did you deposit?

- Seventeen, Dan.

- Seventeen coins.

Do you feel that that was a safe bet?

- Yeah.

- You tell us.

Dan: Oh, I will... in a minute.

Team Blue, how did you feel going into Shuck 'n' Chuck?

- We knew we needed to perform.

Dan: You didnt even shuck all your corn.

Was that a concern?

Team Blue: No.

Dan: How many coins did you deposit?

Team Blue: Fifteen.

- You deposited 15 coins.

Team Red, you had a number of ears of corn where you didn't snap off the stem.

You scored seven.

Team Blue, all of your stems are off.

You picked up 12 points and you won Shuck 'n' Chuck.

Demetrius: We won!

- Oh, thank goodness.

- That win, that win is essential right now.

- And so, Team Red, for the first time in this competition, all of your coins... [splash] ...are lost forever.

Maria: Seventeen coins?

- I know, I know, I know.

It's the most anyone's ever deposited.

- Team Blue, those 15 coins are now safely in your pan.

Maria: And I'm thinking, "This is it."

Literally, all of our cards are on the table now.

Dan: And so, we move on to our fourth and final challenge: The Roundup.

But let's review how many coins each of you currently has in your bank.

Team Red, you currently have 36 coins.

Team Blue, you have 30 coins.

Let's remember, you had to deposit all of your remaining coins.

Team Blue, how many was that for you?

Team Blue: Fourteen.

Dan: Fourteen.

Team Red, how many was that for you?

- Twelve, Dan.

- Team Red, you had 12 coins remaining, and so only six coins separate each of our teams, and both teams deposited more than six coins at this challenge, which means whoever had the best overall time in The Roundp will be the winner of Relative Race.

- This is crazy right now.

My heart is literally, like, ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom.

Demetrius: And I know the times had to be close.

- We are sweatin' bullets.

- None of you had ever been on a horse before.

I gotta tell ya, your performance was impressive when you think of that, and it was a cumulative time.

Team Red, your total time for The Roundup was 10 minutes and 42 seconds.

Team Blue, your total time... 11 minutes and 20 seconds.

Team Red, all of your remaining silver is added to your bank, and so congratulations to Team Red.

You have discovered new family, you have overcome all of the challenges along the way and you are the new champions of Relative Race.

Congratulations, and here is your check for $50,000.

Congratulations, and here is your check for $50,000.

Maria: Like, I don't even know if it's set in.

I don't know what it feels like.

- It's not set in.

I feel numb.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you, guys.

- Good job, good job.

- It's been a crazy ride.

Demetrius: The truth is, when I started this journey, I had no idea about the prize money.

What I've gained is so much in the form of knowing who I am on the side that I didn't know, so as long as I don't lose this, I'm a winner.

Maria: This has been an experience of a lifetime, and I feel that we are more complete now, especially with our newfound family.

Like, there's no words for that.

Like, they're our family.

- Team Red, come here.

Grab your check.

Congratulations to Team Red and remember, to everyone, it's all about family.

Congratulations, that's yours.

Hoist it up high.
