Dan: Previously on Relative Race... Oh my gosh.

Jerica: Only two right?

Dan: A difficult challenge pushed teams to the brink.

Look at me, LOOK AT ME!

I think everybody struggled on this challenge.

Preshious: What is not working?

Hey.

Tiffany: I don't like to lose.

Josh: You think I like to lose?

My wife's more important than any challenge.

My wife's more important to me than anything else on earth.

Any time I take a break, take a break.

You wanna go home, we go home.

Dan: And the breakdowns continued on the road.

Look at this drive.

[honking] Don't, you don't want the cops to stop us.

Let's go!

What if there's not a better-- Jerica: It'll be fine, we'll find something else.

Keep going straight.

Don't shush me!

Michael: Okay, keep talking.

You're not listening.

Josh: We're just gonna keep going and who's gonna say, "I'm done."

'Cause I'm outta here and throwing a fit or quit.

Dan: Ultimately, leading Team Blue to their first strike.

Team Blue, you were one hour and 10 minutes over your allotted time.

You have received your first strike.

[crying] Dan: DNA tells us who we are and where we came from.

Following their own DNA, four teams are racing... [Jerica screaming] ...to win $50,000... Yeah, baby!

...and to find their family!

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh!

♪ ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh!

♪ ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh!

♪ ♪ Dan: It's Day 4 of Relative Race, and there have been some important developments during the past 12 hours.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Team Blue, Josh and Tiffany Lewis, are no longer able to compete in the race.

We wish them well and we've given them all the family information that they were looking for.

Including the information regarding Josh's father, who unfortunately, we discovered, passed away two years ago.

The three remaining teams have started their race without the knowledge that Team Blue is no longer competing.

Welcome to Day 4 of Relative Race.

♪ Paris: We are currently now the only team without a strike, and we plan to keep it that way.

Dan: As the sun rises over Day 4 of Relative Race, Team Green packs up in Birmingham, Alabama, hoping to dodge another strike.

And up in the northeast, Team Red prepares to depart from Waterford, Connecticut, where Michael says goodbye to his sister after another emotionally exhausting night.

Austen: Auntie, I don't want to go.

I don't want you to go, I want you to stay.

Michael: This is nothing that I've ever experienced in my life.

I mean, up and down and up and down.

And then you end on an up, so you start depleted and the race is a lot.

[laughing] Dan: Meanwhile, Team Black wakes up in Staunton, Virginia after a first-place victory last night.

Finishing in first place, Joe and Jerica, Team Black.

With their gameday prize, Team Black will be allowed to use five minutes of GPS sometime today.

However, a rough evening could have disastrous consequences for their race this morning.

Jerica: Joe?

Are you feeling any better?

Joe: Oh.

No.

Jerica: Um, so last night, Joe was up every hour of the night.

His stomach's really hurting him right now.

Um, at this point, we're not sure if we're gonna be able to compete today.

I told him it's no big deal if we need to take a day, I'm just not sure what's going on.

It's concerning for sure.

Joe: Okay.

Are you okay?

What's going on?

Joe: It's just been really hard to, like, get in a comfortable position to keep it from not stinging too bad.

Jerica: Do you need to go to the doctor right now?

I don't know.

Jerica: You don't know?

♪ Preshious: All right, text message from Dan... Now, more than ever, you know, we definitely have to, you know-- Step it up.

Step it up.

Michael: We are not holding anything back today.

Team Black is not going to beat us again.

It's on.

I'm still kind of back and forth, but I just took some Pepto-Bismol.

Jerica: Mm-hmm.

Joe: And it seemed to take the edge off.

"Team Green, you will be traveling "to Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

"Team Red will be traveling to Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts."

Jerica: Maybe take that nausea stuff too, if you feel like it, you need it.

Austen: Team Black will be traveling to Sherrills Ford, North Carolina.

Today's first place winner will have their relative navigate them tomorrow-- Austen: Or a Day 10 benefit.

Your time starts now.

Your time starts now.

I'll grab this and I'll run with you, Austen: Thank you.

Auntie: I'll help you.

[vibration] Joe: I'll try to get myself halfway together.

Jerica: If you need me to help you, let me know what you need.

Michael: Jump on 95.

Let me look at the map.

Yeah, 95 going...

Both: North.

Seat belt, seat belt.

Yep.

Love you.

Love you, too.

Let's go.

Ready?

Yeah.

Let's get out of here.

Auntie: Good luck!

♪ Joe: We still have to look good today.

You look great.

Joe: Okay, shut up.

[giggles] As we were packing up the car, I realized that we missed a text from Dan.

And I have no idea how long ago that was.

So, his text said that we were going to North Carolina.

We're not gonna rush.

All right.

We're gonna take our time.

Okay.

All right.

I got this, go.

Thank you.

Be well you guys.

Today, I plan on taking it easy.

If I have to, I'll roll down the window, but we're thankful for the five minutes of GPS.

That's gonna be a huge lifesaver now.

Dan: All three remaining teams are racing along different paths in the eastern half of the United States.

Each looking for new relatives, each in a different city, all searching for the finish line in an undisclosed location.

At the start of the race three days ago in North Carolina, all of our teams surrendered their smartphones and all use of technology in exchange for paper maps and flip phones.

With no GPS or Internet access.

Now, they're headed to new cities.

When they arrive, they must take a selfie to prove that they've made it, successfully complete a common challenge, and find their relative.

Each in a different allotted time.

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

Three strikes, and you're out of the race.

♪ Austen: You know?

Chugging that bottle of water right before we left was probably a mistake, but I'm hydrated.

Michael: Yes, and you're okay?

Yeah, I'll live.

I'll hold it.

Might not be able to sneeze.

[giggles] Dan: With the open road ahead of them, Team Red travels to Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod.

Their allotted time, including the challenge, is two hours and 50 minutes.

Ocean Springs.

Ocean Springs sound like a apartment complex.

Dan: Team Green is heading to Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

Their allotted time is four hours and 33 minutes.

Oh my word.

What?

I'm de-aging.

[giggles] Jerica: Why?

Joe: I suddenly don't have bags under my eyes.

It's probably because you're dehydrated.

Dan: And Team Black is fighting to find Sherrills Ford, North Carolina with an allotted time of four hours and 34 minutes.

♪ Dan: Now, our three remaining teams prepare to tackle the open road, and the way Team Red prepares is by gettin' groovy.

Austen: Daddy-o.

What Pook?

It's song time.

It's song time.

I need you to get emotionally prepared to shake your groove thing.

All right, I'll allow it.

All right, go ahead.

You ready?

Um, all right.

[chanting] Dread the red.

Dread, dread, the red, red.

Dread the red-- I think we need a different-- [chanting] Dread the red.

I think I'm-- Austen: What?

Michael: Something different.

Austen: Okay, what do you want?

Michael: Like a reggae version.

[singing] Dum, du-dum, du-dum, du-dum, du-dum, dread the red.

Dum, du-dum-- That's not very dread-ish.

Michael: How about heavy metal?

[scream-singing] DREAD THE RED.

DREAD, DREAD, THE RED.

[death growl] DREAD, DREAD, THE RED.

[death growl] RED, RED, RED, RED, RED.

RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, DREAD THE RED.

RED, RED, RED, RED, RED, DREAD THE RED.

Shhhh.

I said, be careful what you ask for.

We are... Weird.

Peculiar.

All right.

It's quiet time.

Dan: While Team Red quiets down on their way to Massachusetts, Team Green strategizes on their way to Mississippi.

What about a visitor's center?

You don't want to hit that?

Oh.

'Cause we're crossing over into Mississippi.

No one goes into the welcome centers to find city maps, so maybe we should just stop right off the exit, grab one in case we need it later.

Yeah, we need to be in and out.

Quick, quick, in and out.

Like a robbery.

[in falsetto] Put city maps in the bag, right now!

This is a stickup!

Get the maps, put them in the bag.

We run inside and we go to the counter and ask her, do they have city maps?

And that would have like street names on it?

She actually brings up Ocean Springs, so I'm sort of like, that's exactly where we're going!

All right.

Thank you so much!

All right, thank you.

Preshious: It's kind of like we were thinking of Team Black and the fact that they have that GPS, this was like a perfect day to know exactly what street, since they have that.

Paris: Yeah, we just got to keep in mind that Team Black got that GPS today.

Black is our biggest threat because of the five minutes.

Dan: Meanwhile, Joe's stomach situation... Are you gonna get sick?

Dan: ...turns sour.

I don't know.

Do you want me to pull over?

[groans] Jerica: So Joe's not feeling well again.

We pulled over, we're trying to figure out if he wants to continue or if we need to stop.

Joe: [groaning] Joe, come on!

There is no openings in the restroom, so I just came out.

Hey, we're done.

We're done today.

♪ Ocean Springs Sports Complex.

Come on, red light!

We got selfies to take!

Pass that up.

I don't know.

Keep going.

Austen: We take the exit and right away we start seeing signs.

Yarmouth Gateway.

Michael: Perfect.

Austen: We find a safe place and we take our selfie.

All right.

Preshious: You're saying Ocean Springs is at-- Ocean Springs, Corporate Limit.

Right here, okay, turn right.

The next sign that we see is... Preshious: Corporate limit.

Paris: ...a corporate limit sign.

Preshious: Over, over, over.

Okay.

Dan: Day 4' s challenge for all teams is "Impersonate Me."

♪ Dan: This will test our team's acting skills.

One member of the team is given a card listing a celebrity in a specific scenario who then uses props, wardrobe, and their acting skills to get the other teammate to correctly identify the celebrity and the scenario.

10 correct answers and the challenge is complete.

Michael: Do your thing, [indistinct].

Austen: I was so excited running in here, because the whole time in the car, all we do is impersonate people and make up random voices.

Michael: And play.

Blonde hair.

I am ze Terminator.

Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Turbo man!

Arnold Schwarzenegger.

So Schwarzenegger is correct, but now I have to guess what Schwarzenegger is doing?

What are you doing, Terminator?

Well, I know, but you kept doing this.

I am not drinking, but...

I am terminating tea.

No.

Dan: As Team Green sits down with newfound family, Team Black sits down with their first place prize.

Joe: Do you want me to start the GPS?

Yes.

Go ahead.

Okay.

We would now like to use our five minutes of GPS.

Joe: Um, so, okay.

We're staying on the street for .7 miles, and then... Jerica: This one?

Okay, write it down, write it down.

Joe: Yeah.

Okay.

We were thinking like five minutes of GPS was plenty.

But now the clock is ticking.

Turn left onto 150 East.

Keep writing, keep going.

Joe: I am.

Okay.

So don't distract me.

Okay, your next turn is right onto Henry Dallinger Road in one mile.

Jerica: Then we were at three minutes left.

And then two and then one and we still have a lot of directions to get through.

Joe: Yes, we did.

Wait.

Henry Dallinger is in 7.1 miles.

7.1 miles?

Oh, I've got to take a breather.

Back to directions.

That clock's almost up and I am just scribbling to the end of our time.

Turn left onto Waterside.

Okay.

I think I just got that just in time.

Good job.

[sighs] I did like a final glance and I think I have the last street right.

This may be the difference we need to get first place tonight.

Dan: After a long day and a difficult challenge, Team Green finds themselves with newfound family.

Preshious: It feels great to meet another relative, but to meet one on my dad's side for the first time feels even better.

Angela: Do you remember your dad at all?

Preshious: I remember that his name was Howard, and I just remember him being darker than my mom, but like, that's it.

I don't remember nothing else about him.

Angela: Okay.

Your father is my first cousin, and was the only one to have a girl just like I did.

Every other cousin had boys.

Okay.

So we kept the two of you very close.

Preshious: It's a great feeling that someone was out there thinking about you when you thought no one was.

Did he look for me, like after?

Oh, yeah!

He did?

Angela: Oh, yeah.

Like...

The family effort, like I said, was pretty fierce.

Well, it felt very good to be able to explain to Preshious what happened.

When the family started to go through some issues, we learned that you were in the system, you know, with the county.

And I contacted the representative that worked with your case, and there were some requirements that needed to be met on my behalf, or anyone's behalf, in the family that was going to adopt you.

Preshious: She really wanted to get me.

She tried so hard.

My dad tried.

People, they didn't forget.

So I went out, I got you two bunkbeds, and you had your own bathroom.

I had clothes already ready for you.

And the last step to me getting approved was that I needed to have my home inspected.

And the way that the apartment was set up, there was no fire escape for the second bedroom.

So.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault.

Champayne: Just something so little.

I know.

I had a place for you.

And I didn't want you to go into the system, and I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault, it's not your fault.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm happy to hear that you tried, like I'm happy to hear it.

I was hoping that someone would say, "I was looking," or, "I never gave up," or, "We always thought of you."

Like, I wasn't forgotten.

People were really looking for me.

Over and over.

Not just when I was younger, but like, even 'til this last year, people were still looking.

Angela: You were gone, and there was nothing anyone in our family could do, so every year, we-- Champayne: We do like an annual search.

Angela: Yeah.

And we search for your name online, ever since 1996, we have been searching for you.

We got a lot of questions answered today, and now they have us, and we will be there for them.

Dan: Back in Sherrills Ford, Team Black prepares to stop their clock.

Wait... Waterside.

Yep.

Go.

And then our address, look for 5130.

Jerica: 5130.

Don't go too fast!

I don't, I haven't read any of these.

5310, right here.

Joe: There-- Pull in!

Go.

All right.

Joe: Are you ready?

Go!

Hurry, hurry!

♪ Jerica: Hi!

Hey!

Joe: Are you our relative?

I am!

I'm Shannon.

Joe: Shannon!

Nice to meet you.

Shannon: Nice to meet you!

Marty: Hi, my name's Marti.

Joe and Jerica: Marti.

Nice to meet you!

Jerica: Hi, I'm Jerica.

Joe: I'm Joe.

Shannon: I'm Shannon Russell.

And I'm Marti Shrapper.

We're sisters!

And we are from Sherrills Ford, North Carolina, and we're Joe and Jerica's cousins.

[all chattering] Marti: Come on in, it's kind of warm out here.

Joe: Yes!

Jerica: Okay.

Joe: I'm sorry we're not at our best, it's been a long day.

Shannon: Oh, no!

Marti: No, no, you're fine!

Come on in!

Jerica: When we got inside, they introduced us to their children, Maverick and Bailey.

Hi.

I'm Jerica.

Hi, I'm Joe.

I'm Bailey.

Jerica: Bailey, nice to meet you!

I'm Jerica.

So nice to meet you!

Joe: Hi, Bailey!

It feels like home before we've ever stepped in the door.

I am just relieved to finally be somewhere where we can rest.

It has been a little bit of a long day.

Relatives: Oh, no!

Marti: Is everything okay?

Oh, yeah.

I'm not contagious or anything, I've just had a little bit of a rough time getting here.

Jerica: Yeah.

Joe: But thank you so much.

I mentioned that I was feeling a little under the weather, and they said, well, we'll bring you some broth and crackers.

Oh, thank you!

Bailey: I hope that it helps!

Oh, it's perfect!

Marti: Good.

I hope it helps.

Joe: It was so sweet.

It was like my mom was there to look after me and we were just having so much fun from the very beginning.

But we're here now and I already feel better just meeting you guys.

Shannon: Good!

And your laughter is just so energizing.

It's so fun.

So thank you so much!

Marti: No, not a problem.

Dan: While Joe and Jerica enjoy a heartfelt laugh with their relatives, Team Red enjoys some of the same.

Michael: Let's go on this adventure.

Austen: Here we go!

Csone: After meeting Austen and Michael, the sun was setting pretty quickly, so I wanted to take them around the Cod, because there's so much stuff for them to see around here.

Michael: We're riding bikes!

Austen: We go on an electric bike ride tour around Cape Cod, which is so much fun!

Michael: [indistinct] Austen: Go Team Red!

Michael: Whoa!

That's what I'm talking about!

It was so cool.

It was awesome.

♪ Csone: I'm having too much fun.

Austen: This is like a normal bicycle, except for it has a throttle that makes you go faster, so you-- Big, fatty tires, and a nice-- Twist it.

Michael: Mike Brown 56 year old seat.

I gotta get one.

I'm hooked.

I'm on it.

Csone: You know, they were excited.

It's the laziest biking ever, but it is a whole lot of fun.

Austen: Immediately, we know that we're cut from the same cloth.

That was big for me.

Knowing your family is a big deal.

Austen: We are definitely family.

Dan: As Team Red bikes off into the sunset, Team Green drives into town for a special surprise.

Champayne: We found out Preshious's birthday was yesterday, and so we wanted to treat her to celebrate her birthday and being able to find our family again.

Preshious: Come on, let's go.

Let's go, let's go!

Yay!

Angela: Yay!

Preshious: And then she tells me that we're gonna go birthday shopping, so I'm happy.

I love shopping.

Angela: After you, birthday girl.

Oh, that is gorgeous!

Do you see that?

Preshious: That is pretty.

Oh, those are pretty!

So we are cousins.

I thought it would be cool to see how we're related.

Yeah!

So we sit down on the couch and Csone rolls out this huge family tree that shows how we're related.

This is really cool, I've never seen a family tree like this.

Yeah.

Joe: Yeah, get on over.

Marti: Okay!

Jerica: Marti and Shannon showed us pictures of their father, and we are related to them through his side of the family.

Marti: So we've some really, really snazzy pictures of him.

Jerica: Oh, neat!

Joe: No!

Our great-grandparents?

Our great-grandparents here.

It was really cool to look at it and to see how close we were.

And we both get immediately excited that we can come together and we can actually cultivate a relationship.

I'm so glad you came on Relative Race, cousin.

Jerica: I noticed that we had the same cheekbones, and then also how much they love to laugh reminded me a lot of our family.

I can tell you all are family.

I feel like our face-- there's some-- Marti: Yeah.

Jerica: The high cheekbones!

Joe: I think it's, it's the hair!

Marti: Yes, yes.

Shannon: Oh, absolutely!

Absolutely.

We are definitely a family with good hair.

Joe: It was so much fun, and after the day we've had, laughter really has been the best medicine for me.

Preshious: Why don't we get like something matching?

Angela: Oh, that's a good idea.

Preshious: And I just said, like, why don't we just get something that all three of us can have?

And we look around and we find these necklaces.

The key.

Angela: I like the key idea!

Preshious: Yeah?

Angela: Yeah!

Preshious: Okay, that'll work.

Just getting the necklaces will kind of just resemble them two and continuing.

Dan: Family ties are made as the evening wears on.

But for Team Black, there is one more surprise in store.

So as we're talking with our relatives, they tell us, "Hop in the car, we have some place to take you."

Here we go!

What is this?

Joe and Jerica: Alpacas?

Jerica: What?

Marti: Yes!

Jerica: Look at all of them!

They're taking us to see a farm.

Shannon: And they had a baby alpaca born this week.

[gasps] We're so excited.

Oh, my goodness.

I'm not sure how this is gonna go.

I'm excited.

Are you not excited?

I'm just not sure, because there's hay, and there's poo-poo everywhere.

Woman: All right, we're gonna go feed some alpacas today!

Jerica: Oh, nice!

Joe: What?

Jerica: That's neat.

Joe: Awesome.

We'll see.

You'll survive.

It's okay.

Joe: Hi, guys, how's it going?

Watch out, here it comes!

Jerica: Then the alpaca farmer calls out to us, and we see the cutest thing!

Oh!

Hi!

Joe: What?

He is so cute!

I think I was the first one to say it, actually.

Joe, they look like you.

Women: [laughing] Jerica!

Frankly, I don't see the resemblance, but I do know that I have some new hair competition.

Marti: That's Joe!

Jerica: That's gotta be the name!

You think?

Should we name him Joe?

Marti: Joe.

Joe: At this point, I'm starting to fall in love with these creatures.

I honestly want to be the new alpaca hairstylist.

You need a little more hairspray, buddy.

You've got hay in your hair.

Shannon: It's like they have different hair textures like we do.

Jerica: They do!

Joe: I could do some stuff with this hair.

Hairspray.

I could go to town.

Actually, I think I have some with me.

So, she said she needs help with something.

They hand me these tools.

[laughter] I'm not picking up that poop.

I can't look.

Tell me when it's in.

Ew.

Jerica: I actually was not thinking he would scoop up the poop.

Joe: It's gross!

Don't you just have like a vacuum or something?

They don't pay me enough for this.

Can I go back to hairstyling?

Jerica: You did it.

Well, I had to.

Everyone was watching.

Marti: Here you go.

Would you like to go dump that?

Joe: Anything else?

Jerica: I think this activity was perfect.

Joe: At first I was a little concerned, but now I'm just having so much fun, and we're all here on the farm together, having a good time.

♪ Dan: As our teams continue to connect with their family, the results are prepared.

Paris: Going into the call, I'm pretty confident that we did pretty good today.

The challenge was a little difficult, but we got through that.

I know that when we get that call from Dan, that's the end of another day.

Austen: Somebody is gonna get a strike today.

[dramatic music] ♪ Dan: Well, good evening, teams.

Day 4 is quickly coming to a close, and I want to address, right out of the gate, it's obvious that we're missing one of our teams.

♪ Team Blue wasn't even on the screen.

They weren't there!

Dan: Unfortuantely, due to unforeseen circumstances, Josh and Tiffany are no longer able to be a part of the race.

Austen: I'm in shock.

A team is out this early?

I don't even know what to make of this.

Dan: However, it's also important for you to know that we have already given them all of the information that we discovered regarding their families, including vital information regarding Josh's father.

We wish them only the best, and we hope that they'll reach out to that family.

We really hope the best for Team Blue.

But I'm wondering how this is gonna affect the race.

The consequences of Team Blue's departure is going to change this race for each of you.

I'll explain how that's going to work in a few moments.

But first, Team Black.

Joe.

Today, you really struggled with your health.

How are you doing?

Joe: All night I was wondering myself, am I going to be able to compete tomorrow?

Jerica: And this morning, it was really bad, and I was really concerned.

We believe it's another flare up with his Crohn's disease, and I told him we wre gonna seek medical care if he needed it, but Joe really stuck through it.

Austen: Hearing Joe was sick today, my heart just went out to them, and then my mommy instinct kicked in and I just wanted to go take of them.

Dan: Well, Joe, it sounds like you were able to push through it and battle throughout the day.

But did it pay off?

Who did you meet today?

Jerica: These are some of our relatives.

Marti and Shannon: Hey!

Hi!

Hey!

Marti and Shannon.

Joe: We've just been having the best time with them.

We've been laughing together, we've even scooped up some alpaca poop.

Dan: Can you say that again?

I don't think I heard you right.

You what?

We went to a farm, an alpaca farm, and we scooped up their poop.

That sounds like a blast.

Well, your relatives seem to really know how to welcome you to the family.

[laughter] Dan: Team Red.

Michael and Austen.

Yesterday, you guys had what I would describe as a really heavy, emotional day.

Processing difficult things that you discovered regarding family, especially you, Michael.

Was today a better day?

An easier day?

Yes.

I'm gonna let Austen just handle this.

I'm a new man.

Dan: So why was today so special for you, Austen?

Well, on this race, we've met my relatives and Dad's relatives, but today, I met my cousin, and I'm related to her on my mom's side.

And our grandparents were siblings.

So we're pretty tight and we have a lot in common and we've been having a really great time today.

Excellent.

So.

Dan: I just need to point out, she is representing Team Red!

Way to go.

Austen: Yeah!

Dan: Team Green.

Preshious and Paris.

Today when you met your relative, did you receive somehow more peace in a way?

Preshious: Doing this show, I was so concerned about meeting my mom and receiving the news that I won't be able to meet her was hard.

So it was nice to meet someone on my dad's side of the family.

And the big question was if he's still alive, and he is.

He's alive, and I found out that he was looking for me.

Like, just a lot of stories of people looking for me.

I didn't have that.

I'm just, I'm so happy to get more, just every bit of information means the world to me.

So, Preshious, I just want to make sure I understand this correctly.

This cousin that you just met today actually tried to adopt you when you were a baby?

Preshious: Yes.

She has been looking for me.

They do this annual search every year, and they type in my name and try to find me, and they had a place set up for me and a bed and everything.

Like clothes, like everything to really get me.

And it's great to hear that and that they didn't stop.

They still were looking.

They've been looking.

Like, it continued.

Preshious, I want you to know that we are so happy for you.

It's moments like this that make the race so special for all of us, and we just, we couldn't be happier.

♪ Dan: Well, teams, you've all had some amazing discoveries, but now it is time for the final results of today's race.

The team that finishes in first place today will have a very important choice to make.

Either a game day benefit or a Day 10 benefit.

If you choose the game day benefit, you will be guided from the challenge location to your relative's home.

That's right.

Your relative will call you and guide you, step by step, turn by turn, to their home.

Whoa-ho-ho-ho.

And of course, if you choose a Day 10 benefit, it can only benefit you if you make it all the way to Day 10.

One more thing.

I can tell you this.

The race today was incredibly tight.

The difference between first and second: one minute.

And I immediately think of the selfie to get the rejected one, retake another one, and then send that one back.

Dan: Finishing in first place today, 25 minutes over their allotted, was Team Green.

Team Green: [cheering] Dan: Okay, Preshious and Paris.

You've got to make that choice.

Do you choose the game day benefit to have your relative guide you in tomorrow, or, do you choose a Day 10 benefit?

Both: The Day 10 benefit.

Paris: Yeah.

We're sure that we're gonna be there for Day 10.

Dan: Okay.

The Day 10 benefit it is.

You guys seem pretty confident that you're gonna make it to the end of the race.

We are.

Yeah.

Will that strategy pay off?

♪ Dan: Well, it all comes down to this, between Team Black and Team Red.

Joe, once again, you lost time due to your health today.

You struggled with that.

While Team Red really struggled to find their family.

Joe and Jerica, you had that GPS benefit, and that led you directly to your family.

Was it enough?

Finishing one minute behind Team Green and in second place, congratulations to Team Red.

Wow.

Austen: We really wanted to get first today, so coming in second, we're just kind of like, meh.

Dan: Team Black, Joe and Jerica, you finished 32 minutes over your allotted time.

However, because Team Blue was unable to compete, they are given today's strike, which means you're safe for another day.

Joe: What?

Finding out that we didn't receive a strike tonight after learning that Team Blue had gone home was really exciting.

I mean, we were totally expecting to get our second strike.

Dan: One final note, teams.

Because Team Blue is unable to continue, we will not be handing out a strike tomorrow either.

However, there's still plenty on the line.

You still have a game day benefit or a Day 10 benefit to compete for, and tomorrow, as an additional benefit, you'll also be competing for two roundtrip airfare tickets to visit any of the relatives that you've met along the way.

Michael: Awesome.

Outstanding.

That's cool.

Joe, we wish you good health and good luck tomorrow, as we do the other two teams.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Another day of challenges, another day of discovery, another day of newfound family.

Goodnight everybody.

Get some rest and good luck.

All: Goodnight!

Michael: Congratulations!

Feel better, Joe!

Thank you, goodnight!

[cheering] Preshious: First place!

I was not expecting that.

On the one hand, I'm happy for Team Green, blah, blah, blah.

And on the other hand, I'm like, one minute!

Dan: The results are in, and with a surprising twist, all of our teams find out that Team Blue is no longer in the race.

Conseqently, Team Blue received what would have been today's strike, which means Team Black is safe for another day.

Team Green came in first, and decided to take another Day 10 benefit.

A picture?

Preshious: Ben Franklin Printing Office.

Paris: Man, I hope these Day 10 benefits end up helping us in the end.

Preshious: How does that play in with the flag?

We won't know until Day 10.

Preshious: Difficulty: 0?

I doubt that.

[laughter] Joe: Yeah.

It also takes the pressure off of tomorrow, but we do want that benefit as well.

We do want the benefit, so we'll play it out.

We're gonna do our best.

We'll do our best.

Tomorrow, Team Red victory.

[chanting] Dread the red!

Dread, dread the red!

Dread the red?

Heavy metal?

Dread the red!

Dread, dread the red!

Preshious: We wouldn't strike out three times in a row, so, definitely sounds like we're going to Day 10.

Paris: Yeah, for sure.

Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but I'm now feeling like I can start fresh tomorrow and be in a better place to finish the race.

The other two teams have both had a win.

We haven't had a win yet!

We're just here cruising along!

Joe: Looking back to where things started with not even sure if we would even be able to make it through the day or compete at all, for that matter.

We're so thankful we fought through it together and that at the end of the day, we found family.

Yep.

And at the end of the day, we didn't get a strike!

We wouldn't have changed our decision for the world, honestly.

We are the only team without a strike thus far.

And we are the only team with Day 10 benefits.

Right now, nobody's dreading the red.

Everybody's dreading the green.

We want people to dread the red, though!

Austen and Csone: [chanting] Dread the red!

Dread, dread the red!

Austen: See?

And she's even wearing a read shirt, because she, too, wants you to dread the red.

Tomorrow is halfway through.

Tomorrow will be Day 5.

It is so worth it.

So worth it.

I wouldn't change it.

Green Team out.
