Victor: The last bus stop is here.
Tammy: Okay.
Luke: Can you hear them?
Margie: I can hear them, but it's an echo.
Tammy: I hear them over there.
Margie: I think we have to go over the bridge.
[music]
Host: Margie and Luke, [signing] you are team #1.
Tammy and Victor, come in here.
Now I have some good news for you. As the winners of this leg of the race, you have won a trip for two from Travelocity to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. You'll send seven nights in an ocean front room in the Western Resort and Spa where you will take a sunset sail, swim with dolphins and zipline through the jungles of the Sierra Madres. Congratulations!
Margie: Thank you, Phil!
Host: Tammy and Victor, you are team #2. Congratulations.
Come on in here. Mark and Michael, you are team #3. Congratulations.
Luke, why was it so important to be on the Race.
Luke [through Margie translating]: A lot of people think deaf people can't do things, but the deaf can do it. They can do exactly what hearing people can do but not talk. I just wanted to show people that deaf people can do it.
