"Do You Know How Much Running I Did Today, Phil?" -- A fierce rivalry between two teams starts to heat up when one duo tells the other that at the next opportunity to use the Yield, they will use it against them, on THE AMAZING RACE 9, Wednesday, April 26 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

 

Teams travel to Australia and must ride a bicycle built for two in order to receive their next clue. However, what should have been a fun three-mile bike ride turns into a heated argument for one team. Meanwhile, on the drive to the airport, another team picks up a hitchhiker and takes some time to conduct international relations.
