[cheers] Your keys.

Field goals kick Day 1 of the race into high gear.

We're going to see a family member!

Dan: Team Green, Preshious and Paris!

Congratulations!

Preshious: First place!

Woo!

Henlines, you have received your first strike.

And Michael Brown found out the truth about his father.

My father, he killed his wife and himself.

Yes.

The truth that surrounded his death, the gravity of everything came today.

I'm trying to figure out how to react.

Team Red is currently in New London, Connecticut, Team Blue in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Team Green in Hartford, Alabama, and Team Black is in Fairfax, Virginia.

With an undisclosed final destination, the teams prepare to meet more family as they battle for $50,000.

Team Green, Paris and Preshious, took first place on Day 1 and added a cousin to the family.

So we're feeling good that we had that first place win yesterday.

Paris: I have a hoop in my yard at home, my cousin has one in his home, and you know, I'm just used to getting a few shots in before I start my day, so I figured why not?

Dan: Six hundred miles away, Team Blue is up and ready with a surprise from their relatives.

Tiffany: So we got up early, you know, start the day, have our coffee, and we don't know where our relatives are.

They're sleeping in, man.

I wish we were like them right now.

Tiffany: They're on the good side.

Josh: Yeah, they're starting the day right.

This morning, yeah.

Tiffany: Good morning!

Good morning.

We just overslept.

I'm so sorry we overslept.

Someone's gotta sleep.

After placing second yesterday, we're taking this to a new level of intensity on our end.

Still the overall goal is winning $50,000.

That's a big deal to my wife and I.

♪ Dan: Despite receiving the first strike of the race yesterday on Day 1, Team Black, Joe and Jerica, are trying to stay positive.

Jerica: It's a brand new day, we're not looking back at yesterday, and we're looking at it as we're going to do our best.

Joe: Yeah, yesterday was pretty rough, but just meeting our relatives and getting to spend time with them has really just given us a fresh start to the race.

Oh, we actually have a little gift for you.

And all of our relatives.

Taylor: These were gifts from Joe and Jerica.

Joe actually made them.

He sketched "family" in the keys and he's going to give it to all of his new family members that he meets.

You guys are going to hang these up?

Yeah, totally.

Joe: We took some Polaroid photos and they helped us decorate our car.

Taylor: Sad that they have to leave, but happy we got to meet them and happy that they're going to go and do awesome in this competition.

Michael: We have experienced a growth in our family from zero to 15 people in two hours.

It started the filling process of a void that's been in my life for 56 years.

Now we know what the goal is, to meet-- All of them.

All the family.

All of our teams continue to race along different paths all across the country, each looking for new relatives, each in a different location.

All of our teams have their eyes set on the finish line, this season in an undisclosed location.

At the start of the race one day ago, all of our teams turned in their smartphones and all GPS devices for paper maps and a flip phone with no GPS or Internet access.

Now, they're headed to a new city.

They must take a selfie to prove that they've made it, successfully complete a challenge, and discover their new relatives, each within a different allotted time.

The team that goes over their allotted time the most will receive a strike.

Three strikes and they're out of the race.

Welcome to Day 2 of Relative Race.

As the wheels get turning on Day 2 of Relative Race, so does the friendly competition.

All right, and send.

[dings] Hey Team Blue, you seemed a little upset about us winning first place yesterday.

Cheer up, you lived to fight another battle, but you will lose that one too.

Oh, Team Green.

Eh, Team Green, so cute.

You're adorable, Green.

Adorbs.

I always enjoy letting kids win.

You two are adorbs.

We always enjoy letting kids win the first round.

Don't want to take all their hope away.

We're adorbs?

We'll see who the "adorbs" are after this one.

Dan: Team Green, Preshious and Paris, are traveling from Hartford, Alabama, to Lilburn, Georgia.

They have an allotted time of 4 hours and 55 minutes to complete their driving and their challenge.

Team Blue, Josh and Tiffany, are on their way from Fayetteville, North Carolina, to Summerville, South Carolina.

Their total allotted time is 3 hours and 19 minutes.

♪ Joe: What's our black, like, motto?

We need a hashtag or something.

Hashtag black team.

That's lame.

Hashtag big hair, don't care.

Hello, Team Red here, Day 2.

Let's talk about expectations and how maybe the Relative Race was a little more challenging than we expected.

There's a whole lot to it.

A whole lot.

Dan: Receiving the first strike of the race, Joe and Jerica, #teamblack, are traveling from Fairfax, Virginia to Glen Allen, Virginia, with an allotted time of 1 hour and 47 minutes.

Team Red, Michael and Austen, are going from New London, Connecticut, to Lenox, Massachusetts, with an allotted time of 1 hour and 55 minutes to complete their driving and challenge.

We learned a lot and today we're going to be implementing some changes and working smarter and not harder.

Joe: Hashtag... Dynamite... Comes in small packages.

That's a long hashtag.

Hashtag Black rules, Blue drools.

I'm just kidding.

I really love them.

They're the sweetest.

Josh: We're going to need as many Day 10 benefits as possible 'cause there's no way they're leaving with the 50 grand.

Well we shall see soon enough what you "let" happen today.

Good luck.

[dinging] Josh: Oh.

Come on, kids, really, you want to get yourself in this battle?

Oh.

You really want to go there, kids?

It's-- uh-uh.

Oh, snap!

Team Green with the verbiage.

Whoa.

Josh: They're using punctuation, man!

♪ Dan: It's Day 2 of Relative Race, with all four teams on the road to their destination cities.

Joe on Team Black is not having any dull moments.

We need to do like a rap about photos.

A photo says it all and more, beyond what your eyes can view, it reveals an image of what it wore and that photo is a photo of you.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm-mm-mm.

That was good.

You like that?

I like it.

I'm officially a rapper, Jerica!

I'm so happy!

Dan: Team Red, Michael and Austen, are the oldest of all the teams and proud of it.

Austen: Competitive edge for the senior team?

I'm sorry guys, but we got life experience.

We got skills.

We got strategy.

You're going down.

Life is going to be good, 'cause we aren't going to make the same mistakes we made the first day, right Daddy?

That's right.

I'm driving.

I love you.

We're going to dread the red now.

And, Red out.

Dan: Once within their city limits, the next objective is to take a city selfie.

Josh: We learned our lesson from yesterday, man, and as soon as we see that city limits, we're going in and we're on the hunt.

Do you want to take the left, I take the right?

How we doing over here?

I'm looking.

Keep a sharp, sharp eye.

What's that small sign say?

That's the one we want.

Tiffany: And as soon as we take the exit, I see a sign.

It was right there.

Welcome to Glen Allen!

Jerica: Perfect.

Ah!

I'm so excited!

Dan: Michael on Team Red has taken the wrong exit attempting to cut through Hartford, a plan that Austen is not pleased with.

Austen: I had been saying all along, this is Plan A, and I plotted out a course for the interstate.

And then, we're going through Hartford getting stuck in downtown, so I'm like "Let me just-- I don't want to get out of the car, just let me talk to this person."

Honk your horn.

[beep] Daddy.

I've got to pay attention to traffic.

I can't talk to people.

Daddy.

I have to drive.

He stops talking.

He just shuts down.

He gets arrogant and short and mean and he just won't listen to reason.

Daddy, just pull up and honk at him.

What am I asking him?

If this is the way to Highway 44.

Hi, do you know the way to Highway 44?

Yeah, that was no help.

I gotta drive.

I am driving.

Daddy, listen then, drive and listen.

He was right here.

I can't stop right now.

Why can't you stop?

Your foot's on the brake and nobody's behind us!

Just stop for a second.

We're both very stubborn.

But I'm right, often.

See what I mean?

I'm not-- I can't stop in the middle of the road.

Austen: Excuse me, ma'am?

Hi, we're on a TV show and we're looking for Highway 44.

Three or four people told us that we were headed towards 44 but we were headed towards 84.

If you can't handle driving in the city where we can talk to people, then you need to let me drive.

I am not going to get a strike because of violating a traffic rule for talking to someone.

You need to talk.

I'm driving.

We're not going to get a strike because we're violating traffic laws.

We can stop and talk to a cop, Dad, and he is just freaking out, and I'm getting over the moon frustrated with him.

Keep to the right up here.

Do whatever you want.

I'm listening to you, Austen.

Are you?

I am.

That's not-- Don't lecture; you need to be factual.

I'm not lecturing you.

I'm fussing at you, but I'm not lecturing you.

Don't fuss.

Dan: While Team Red wrestles with conflict, the other teams are capturing city selfies.

Let's go, frame it up, frame it up.

Okay.

Down, Tiff.

Okay, ready?

Got it.

Set.

[shutter click] Yes.

[shutter click] Got it.

Send.

Okay, sent, sent.

♪ I just got a text from Dan.

It says-- Come on.

Let's go.

Joe: Okay, do we push the "okay" button to take a picture?

Jerica: Yeah.

[shutter click] Joe: Send it.

Jerica: Okay, it sent.

It says... Come on, hurry, run!

Josh: Now that we got our city selfie out of the way, we're off to our next challenge.

No idea what it's going to be.

Little scared.

Preshious: We don't know what we're in for, but the day is going pretty smooth so far, so we're ready for this challenge.

Dan: Teams Blue, Green, and Black are now heading to the challenge.

Josh: You think it's just going to be a physical challenge, but no, you have to understand the mental side of the challenges.

Yes.

Dan: All four teams must complete the same challenge in order to receive their relative's address, but Team Red is still searching for the city of Lenox, Massachusetts.

[honking] Austen: Daddy, just-- I'm driving.

Do you think I don't think that you're driving, father?

Do you think I somehow missed the memo?

Get in the left lane.

Let me drive.

So you want to drive around and I'll ask?

I want to know where to go.

Then stop being so stubborn!

Don't be prideful right now!

He's clearly not able to set aside his emotion and deal with his stress while driving.

I am not going to stop in traffic.

You can ask a police officer.

No more conversation on this.

Again, we need to rewind, okay?

Rewind.

Now we are wasting time that is valuable.

You could just as quickly-- hey, is this the way to 44?

And he would say yes or no, or go up here and take a left, and it would take 10 seconds or less, but instead of doing anything helpful-- Is this the way to Highway 44?

Thank you very much.

Austen: Finally, Dad stops and actually listens to directions, which is what he should have done a long time ago.

The people here are very nice.

Nicer than you.

Let's drive.

I'm not driving, you're driving, you've told me that 50 times.

That's what I'm going to do, I'm going to drive.

Austen: Those directions put us back on track which means we can actually head to the right city Lenox, Massachusetts, where we can take our city selfie.

[muttering] [shutter click] [both talking] ♪ Austen: Welcome to Lenox...

Finally we got our city selfie and we can head to our challenge.

♪ Okay.

Joe: Here's the envelope, read it.

♪ Fill it and Spill It.

Dan: Day 2's challenge for all teams is "Fill It and Spill It.

Teams must fill a bucket with a predetermined amount of water To do this, teams will construct a catapult from pre-built pieces.

One teammate will then use that catapult to launch water balloons to the other teammate who catches the balloons with a head-mounted bucket.

The water is then transferred to a fill container.

Once the containers are filled with enough water, the challenge is complete.

The allotted time for "Fill It and Spill It" is 15 minutes.

Slingshot, think slingshot.

We're wondering how we're going to get this slingshot together.

Come on, we gotta keep thinking.

Keep talking to me.

Josh: Up, up, nope, nah, too close, Tiff.

Do you see holes?

There's this one but I don't see two holes.

Paris: Put the loops down.

Maybe we have to tighten that and then screw-- Like this?

Paris: We can't figure out which pieces go where or how to get them to stay together.

I don't really use tools, so we're probably the only team that struggled to use the wrench.

Wow, why does this take so long?

Seriously.

Dan: Team Red, Michael and Austen, are finally joining in on the challenge.

Austen: When we first walk up to this, I'm thinking "We're going to be able to assemble this thing really quickly."

Like I know that that part's going to be a breeze for us.

Josh: As long as I'm latched in, I don't care.

Joe: Just try the other side.

The other end of the wrench.

Come to find out the other end of the wrench has this swirly thingy and it goes way faster.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey.

Joe: Yeah, and then just go "whoop-de-doop."

That's not how it works.

It's not doing anything.

It's not doing anything.

Preshious: Show me the next part.

Do you have the sling on there?

Is it on both parts?

That's it.

All right, babe, we're all done.

Put the strap on.

All right, daddy-o, let's go.

Then I'm thinking, catching these water balloons in this bucket's going to be difficult.

♪ Tiffany: Nope.

Josh: All right, farther back.

Plus you had to stand behind the orange cone, so you had to have some distance on this, like there was no question you put some zing on this in the catapult.

You have to.

You're good, honey!

Yeah!

Let's go!

We got water!

Walk slow!

The first time I got a balloon in my helmet, it was the best feeling because I was like dude, we nailed this.

Josh: We decided as soon as you get a single water balloon in, you're making the run back, you're filling it up, because we don't want to risk any water ♪ Use the handle!

Every single one that I'm launching, it's bursting.

You gotta use the handle!

No, I do not!

You keep touching the balloon.

Do something different.

You want to switch?

No.

It's okay.

Joe: All right, it's okay.

Ready?

Austen: Yup.

We can't get the right gauging, like the distance isn't quite right and then the placement isn't quite right.

Michael: I was wrapping the bungee cords around the stanchions to get more tension so I could get more velocity.

Come to me!

Little too far.

That didn't pan out.

♪ Dan: It's Day 2 of Relative Race with all four teams in the challenge battling for success.

Austen: The challenge is so stinking hard and painful.

It hurts so bad.

I'm going to do really low.

Never mind.

Jerica: Joe was slinging them and he wasn't extremely consistent.

Oh.

Oh!

Joe: Did you get it?

AH!

Joe: Jerica, it's my fault, not yours.

Ah!

Joe: Did it go in?

Jerica: So one of the launches, Joe hit me straight-- square in the nose.

Are you okay?

Jerica: It was like getting slapped in the face.

Even though I was crying, even though I was frustrated and done, I wasn't going to stop and I wasn't going to let the pain stop me either.

Okay, what am I doing wrong?

Don't let it hit you in the nose.

Jerica, I don't know what to do.

So I actually start thinking to myself as a point guard, I'm like Chris Paul now, or a quarterback.

Payton Manning!

And it's actually working.

Like Chris Paul, catch it!

Let's go!

Come drop that in!

Austen: You get to an approximation of where the balloon's going to land, and then you just go, "Did I get it?"

Mike: Sweet!

I'll be honest with you, I didn't even think about first place.

I was sitting here just like thinking about kicking with my family, like my mind shifted.

First cousins right there.

Tiffany: So first cousins.

Josh: You got grandparents, auntie.

I'm hoping I can use that chart to answer some questions.

I have cousins' names in front of me, man.

This is nuts, dude.

♪ Dan: Team Black, Joe and Jerica, are also receiving family information from their cousin.

Jerica: Today, we met our cousin, Don.

His grandmother and our grandfather were brother and sister.

It was kind of neat, not just for me, but a chance to involve my mom who is very much into our family history.

This is Uncle James.

Is that right?

Jerica: Joyce is showing us some really old photos.

So my dad was about one years old right then and our grandfather is there in them.

Joe: These are pictures we had never seen before.

Jerica: Our grandfather died before we were born and so it was really neat to have that special connection and bond.

Joyce: These are Daddy's musical instruments.

He had a guitar, banjo, mandolin, and violin.

Jerica: And then she informed us that our grandfather was in a band with her father.

Don: My grandmother and their grandfather played in a band called "The Buzzard Town Tongue Twisters."

Don:This first one is called "Dark Town Strutter's Ball," and it was recorded on June 5, 1943, so let's listen to that.

[grainy music plays] ♪ I've got some good news, honey.♪ ♪ [indistinct] ♪ ♪ it's a really swell affair ♪ ♪ all the high-brows will be there.

♪ Joe: So who's singing right now?

Don: This is James.

Joe: This is James?

Jerica: This is my grandpa?

Don: Yes.

June 5, 1943.

♪ ♪ I'll be down to get you in a taxicab ♪ And it sounds like it was just him and his guitar.

Yeah.

Jerica: For me not knowing my grandfather, I've never actually met him, and so to actually hear his voice for the first time was really, really cool.

Does it bring back memories?

Yes it does.

Jerica: I didn't necessarily think that we would meet super close relatives, and now I'm really excited that we are.

♪ Michael: So our relative is my Aunt Margaret.

Austen: And she is like a magical unicorn of joy.

Margaret: I am Michael and Austen's cousin.

I grew up with Elward, Michael's father.

We were raised together as brother and sister.

[sighs] Man.

Margaret:Oh, not man, that's like you're old.

I'm the one, I'm the senior here.

[laughing] I wanna-- You tell him, Aunt Margaret!

[laughing] He been fussing at me all day long.

Then she starts to show us these pictures, and they're amazing.

This is your father Elward and me.

Michael: Look at that!

Austen: Oh my goodness.

Margaret: This was in 1966.

[laughs] Margaret: Elward was very gentle, very active, very smart.

He loved to cook and he loved to spoil me.

She shared with me who my father was.

No one else on the planet could do what she provided for me tonight.

This is your grandmother, and this would be your step-grandfather.

They're the ones that connect all of these people who we keep hearing about.

All of these are your nieces and nephews and sisters and brothers and-- We are over 200 deep.

Michael: Our family's coming together quickly, one day at a time.

I'm overwhelmed with joy getting to know Michael, seeing him for the first time.

I didn't know how I would meet you, but I knew I would meet you somehow, someday.

And you were looking for him.

Yeah.

Michael: That feeling when Margaret told me she was looking for me, it was wonderful.

It was just joyous.

Margaret: A piece of my big brother just stepped right into my life all over again.

Michael looks exactly like his father.

The only thing is I'm the oldest and he's the youngest now, so.

Group hug.

Oh, you's just trying to make me cry.

Michael: Realizing the past we can, I think we can look on to a brighter future for me and my daughter and our newfound family, together.

I feel so blessed.

My cousins are Michael and Austen and I met them today on Relative Race.

♪ Dan: Preshious on Team Green has been reunited with her Aunt Sheena, who holds answers that Preshious has been longing for.

Sheena: We've been looking for her since she's been adopted.

We didn't want her to go.

And I'm just so glad she's here.

Preshious: Hearing that people were looking for me and never forgot about me made me feel so much better.

And I can finally start asking some questions.

It's okay.

Sheena: Everything that's been going on in her head for 25 years, she's waiting on answers from me.

So, you know, I know she wants to know where her mom is.

Do you have a picture of her?

I do.

I do.

Do you remember how she looks?

I remember her being light, um, I think curly hair, kind of like yours.

Yeah.

Um, I don't remember too much more.

You look just like her.

So, I don't know much about your father.

Okay.

Did she remarry, is she married?

Your mom, my sister, she passed away.

♪ [muffled] I'm sorry.

When?

When?

She passed away in 2008.

I'm sorry.

Preshious: How'd she pass?

What was told to me was she had a massive heart attack.

Can I see, can I see her picture?

Yes.

[labored breathing] Sheena: That's your mom.

That's Wanda.

Preshious: She was a beautiful person.

It's my first picture seeing her.

Sheena: She's beautiful.

Preshious: She is, she is.

Sheena: You look just like her.

Preshious: This is her.

She named me, right?

Like-- Yep.

She did.

She spelt it that unique way, like-- I really wish I didn't have to break that news to you.

I'm happy, uh, I have a picture.

I look forward to seeing more.

She loved you.

Don't ever doubt that.

I cannot wait for her to share with me and to share with the rest of us their relatives that they don't even know they have.

That she's been longing to meet for 25 years.

I really hope that she has the opportunity to meet them throughout this journey.

It would make me so happy, and I know she would be happy too.

[sighs] Thank you so much for all these answers.

You're welcome.

It means the world to me.

I wish I had more for you.

Sheena: The only thing that I could give her was some memories and tell her how her mom looks.

And the type of person she was.

She was beautiful.

Do you all have kids?

We do.

How many?

We have two.

[gasps] Oh my goodness.

I can't wait to see!

Preshious: I know!

Sheena: That's awesome!

Tiffany: Seeing Josh react to the information today like, made me feel so much joy.

And I'm so glad that like a little part of him is full.

Joe: We've had a really rough day today, so to come here and be reminded of what this race is all about, it just changes your perspective on why we're doing this.

We-- I've trained for a lot of different things, and I've never, I don't know what I could do to train for this.

The relative part of this journey is worth it.

It's- I mean, that's what I'm here for.

But I gotta tell you man, seven, eight more days guys, like come on.

You guys are killing us.

Josh: This is intense days, bro.

I'm gonna need a good decompression after Relative Race.

♪ Dan: Day 2 of Relative Race is coming to a close and final times have been calculated.

All teams have overcome challenges, found relatives, and continue to discover what Relative Race is truly about.

But one team will receive a strike.

Welcome to Day 2 of Relative Race, teams, and I know for each of you it's been a day of highs and lows, but ultimately I hope for all of you it was a day of very important discoveries and I hope that is happening, but before we get to that, I want to talk about how the day went for each of you.

Josh and Tiffany, how do you feel that you did today in all things?

We had a really, really good day today.

We had a plan going in, we stuck through it, we stuck with our gut.

But you never know, man.

You never know, that's the thing.

How about Mike and Austen?

I'm rethinking the whole thing.

It's real, isn't it?

It's real.

Way.

It's a lot.

Well let's forget the challenge and let's forget the road and let's get to the real reason why we're here.

Joe and Jerica, you guys met another great cousin.

The journey, I hope, has been one that has been worthwhile to you so far.

Absolutely.

It's been incredible.

And the best thing about today, Dan, is I heard my grandfather's voice for the first time.

I had never heard his voice.

He passed before Joe and I were born, found out he was actually in a band.

Joe: We saw pictures of him that we had never seen before.

And we got to listen to him singing.

It was amazing.

West Virginia's where he's from and they were called "Buzzard Town Tongue Twisters."

[all laughing] Dan: Josh, you've really been looking for answers on your father's side of the family.

Can you tell us about who you met today and were there any answers that you received?

I met my cousin Rashad.

He's from Baltimore, and I found out what my family's name is.

I had never known my father's last name.

I'm a Durrah.

Joshua Durrah Lewis, man.

It's a big deal, bro.

I'm happy for you.

I'm really happy.

Thank you, everybody, I appreciate you, man.

All of you.

Dan: Mike and Austen, what happened tonight?

Tonight I met the woman that knows my father the most on the planet.

It's amazing.

It's-- this is my auntie mom Margaret.

Say hi.

She and Elward, my father, were raised together from munchkins to grown-ups.

This is what this is all about is this discovery and connection with family that often you never even knew you had or have been looking for, and so with that, I want to talk with Preshious.

Preshious, you came on this show looking for your mother and your father.

Tonight, there was some good things and some difficult things.

Can you share that with us?

Today, I found my mom's sister and this is her here, so.

It was great to meet my aunt and the first question I'm asking her is about my mom and she had a picture of her and this is her in the past.

[sobbing] I wanted to meet her and ask questions but I'm happy I have some answers and I have her picture.

And I know her name and I can't wait to find out more about her.

Dan: Preshious, thanks for coming on the journey with us and thanks for sharing that, and you know what, the really good thing though is it's only Day 2.

Josh: She just saw her auntie for the first time in her life and she just saw pictures of her mother for the first time in her life.

Oh my gosh.

That was really hard to see her experience that.

Jerica: But we're so happy she finally now has answers that she never had.

It's this moment where-- kind of like what Dad experienced yesterday, you find out information that is both closure and devastation all at the same time.

I want her to get the answers that she's looking for and I want it to be with as little pain as possible but with as much joy as possible.

♪ As you know, every day we have to determine who finished in first and who receives a strike.

I will remind you that the first place prize for the winning team is to receive up to 12 minutes off your clock tomorrow or a Day 10 benefit.

And the team that finished in first place that will have to make that decision... is Team Blue.

Team Blue finished in first place.

You finished 31 minutes over your allotted time today.

That's the last person we wanted to hear getting first.

Josh and Tiffany.

Will you choose a game day benefit which may help you tomorrow or a Day 10 benefit which can only help you if you make it to Day 10?

We're so glad you asked.

We're going with the Day 10 benefit because we promised Paris and Preshious dinner so we're going to take the Day 10.

You're going to take the Day 10 benefit?

Yes.

Preshious: And then of course he rubs it in, and she rubs it in.

Joe: Promising a dinner to Team Green, that was a little rude.

I'm going to be buying him dinner.

The game has definitely just begun, you know.

We definitely have to take it to a whole new level.

Finishing in second place, finishing 1 hour and 12 minutes over their allotted time, Team Black.

[gasps and clapping] Are you serious?

Dan: And that means that either Team Red or Team Green will be receiving their first strike.

Preshious: I'm thinking, "We can't get a strike today."

We are not supposed to be fourth place, not at all.

Finishing 1 hour and 16 minutes over their allotted time, just four minutes behind Team Black... is Team Green, which means Mike and Austen, you finished 1 hour and 55 minutes over your allotted time You have received your first strike.

Saw it coming.

It's that stinging-- If you've never been hit by a pitch, you need to get hit by a pitch.

I hope that tomorrow is a better day for all of you.

Get some good rest because tomorrow is Day 3 of Relative Race.

Goodnight, everybody.

[all saying goodnight] Kiss you, miss you!

We beat you!

We got second place!

Rashad: Congratulations on winning your Day 10 benefit.

Hey, thank you, cousin.

We're about to get a lot more of-- Uh... Tiffany: A chicken?

A rooster?

Josh: This is nuts.

I have no idea.

I don't even know anymore.

I can't-- We got one.

We got one.

We won.

Dan: Day 2 is in the books and Team Blue, Josh and Tiffany, finished 31 minutes over their allotted time and picked up a Day 10 benefit.

In a surprising second place for Team Black, Joe and Jerica finished 1 hour and 12 minutes over their allotted time.

In third place, Team Green, Preshious and Paris, came in 1 hour and 16 minutes over their allotted time.

That was close.

Dan: And finishing in last place, 1 hour and 55 minutes over their allotted time, Team Red, Michael and Austen, have received their first strike.

[sighs] Austen: I feel torn, honestly.

We have got to perform in the race part so that we can meet these people we want to meet.

There's some things that are going to change tomorrow.

We'll see what happens.

What's going to change is I'm driving.

You guys, check out this photo right here.

Paris pulls out a photo of Preshious to compare to Wanda, her mother, and the resemblance is ridiculous.

Paris: Twins.

Sheena: Oh my goodness.

She looks so much like her.

She sounds like her.

I do feel like a piece of my sister is sitting here with me.

It brings back all these memories.

I just look forward to making new ones with her.

I'm happy to have a picture and to see her and I'm sad at the same time that I didn't get to just meet her.

I didn't get to just hug her and be with her, but I'm happy to have some type of closure, so it's both.

Sheena: Preshious is home.
