The September 25, 2025, premiere — which appropriately aired right after Big Brother 27’s penultimate episode — began with the teams finding a clue that directed them to an ice rink. The duos had to push each other on sleds down the rink and knock down a set of bowling pins. The first team to complete the challenge and make it to host Phil Keoghan received an Express Pass and the ability to give a second pass to another team. Meanwhile, the last team to complete the challenge received a Hazard.
Taylor and Kyland won the Express Pass and gave the second one to Jag and Jas. Jack and Enzo got stuck with the Hazard — eating some herring while other teams continued the race — and it ultimately led to their demise. After chowing down on the fish, the pair struggled to ride a clog bike, got lost on the way to the Roadblock and struggled with the flower arrangement matching challenge. Jack and Enzo arrived at the Pit Stop last and were eliminated from the race.
“I’m super proud. There are just so many things I’ve done in this country that I would be terrified to do and I wasn’t scared at all. It was just, ‘Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go,’” Jack said in his exit interview.

Episode 2 saw the teams travel from Amsterdam to Prague, but their journey was nothing short of stressful. Multiple teams accidentally got off on the wrong stop and had to take a detour to reach their destination. On top of that, some teams, including Angela and Lexi, tried to take another train and learned that it was canceled while they were waiting for its arrival.
After finally arriving in Prague, Angela and Lexi found themselves stuck in the back of the pack. Like many other racers, Lexi struggled to shake off her fear of heights for the Roadblock, which saw the teams walk out onto a plank in the air and grab a clue.
After successfully completing the challenge, she and Angela moved on to their Detour: memorizing and reciting the names of village crests in a restaurant. This proved to be much harder than it seemed and resulted in Lexi getting frustrated that they weren’t getting it right.
Angela and Lexi completed the Detour shortly after Megan and Matt, and they ended up in a footrace to the Pit Stop. Megan and Matt beat Angela and Lexi by only a minute or two.
