[realshowfan]

Gabrielle: Thank you so much! :kuss:
Local: Woah! Hey, I’m married!
Gabrielle: It’s a thank you kiss!

On their way to Port Hope Town Hall:
Bilius: This is a tight race. There are many cars here so we can’t pass them, which sucks, of course.
Alejandro: At least we can just follow them. :lol: Let them do the work for us.
Lee: Are you sure this is the right place?
Lili: Yes! Believe me, I have the directions.
Lee: They’re just following us.
Kristine: I just wish there were fewer cars so I could overtake them!
Penelope: Third is good.
Jenna: Do you think you can pass the soccer boys?
Kathryn: No.

Port Hope Town Hall:
Lili: There’s our clue.
Kristine: There it is.
Debra: Make your way to the next PITSTOP!!
Samantha: Oh my god!
Mitch: Fort Henry in the Kingston area!
Bilius: Hurry! The last team to check-in may be eliminated!
Mackenzie: Hurry! Let’s go!
Bryanna: Let’s go. I’m not gonna get eliminated!
JP: We have got to hurry!
Kathryn: Let’s GO!!

Fort Henry-Pitstop:
One team emerges at the Pitstop and saw Phil.



Greeter: Hello and welcome to Kingston, Ontario, Canada!
Gabrielle: Why thank you!
Phil: Holly & Gabrielle...
Holly: Bring the news, Mr. Keoghan.
Phil: You are team number 1!!
Gabrielle: Yes! :jumpy:
Holly: Yay! :wohoo:
Phil: So I heard you used your best ability to get yourself here.
Gabrielle: Oh yes, we did! That helped us!
Holly: And Gabrielle’s willing to keep using it for the win.
Phil: So as winners of this leg of the race you have each won $10, 000 each!
Holly: Is that it?! Joking!

On their way to Pitstop:
Debra: Penelope & Kristine are there.
Lionel: I am gonna try and pass them.
Lionel passed Penelope & Kristine.
Kristine: Oh, crap.
Debra (to Penelope & Kristine): Sorry!
Kristine: I’ll need to drive faster I guess.
Mitch: Mr. Anderson, do you mind overtaking those two right there?
Joshua: I’ll give it a try, Mr. Morris.
Joshua tries overtaking Jenneco & Samantha, but failed.
Jenneco: Sammy, they’re trying to pass you.
Samantha: I won’t let them, trust me.
Bilius: Where do we go next?
Alejandro: Erm...To be honest, I’m not sure.
Bilius: WHAT!? For the Pitstop, you blubbering idiot!
Alejandro: Look, ask the police officer there! He’ll know!
Bilius: We’ll have to pull over.
Mackenzie: Look Martin, the boys are there.
Martin: At least we know we’re not last or something.
Mackenzie: Yay!
Alejandro: Sir, do you know where Fort Henry is? Can you give us directions?
Police officer: Sure. (He writes down the directions on their map.)
Alejandro: Merci!
Bilius: Idiot.
Alejandro: Just shut up, Bil.
Bilius: I saw the old couple already pass us! Get in!
Jerome: We’re kind of lost.
JP: Man, where next?
Jenna: Pass them. We may still have a chance.
Kathryn tries to pass Jerome & JP, with success.
Jenna: Yes!! Now keep driving!
JP: Shoot! They passed us!
Jerome: Follow them! We can outrun them!

Fort Henry-Pitstop:
‘Let’s go!’
‘Finally, this leg is over!’ They step on the mat.
Greeter: Hello and welcome to Canada!
‘Thanks!’
Phil: Lili & Lee, you, are team number 2!
Lili: :jumpy:
Lee: Not bad! In fact, really good!

‘I see Phil, dear!’
‘Great, that’s good sign!’ They step on the mat.
Greeter: Hello and welcome to Canada!
‘Canada’s a lovely place!’
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number 3!
Lionel: Awesome.
Debra: Yay! :kuss:
Phil: How do you think you are bonding?
Debra: We’re bonding well. It’s good sign.

‘I think the dating couple already checked-in.’
‘At least we’ll be team 4 or something.’ They step on the mat.
Greeter: Welcome to Canada!
‘It’s a lovely country.’
Phil: Penelope & Kristine, you, are team number 4!
Kristine: Woot! :jumpy:
Penelope: She’s just happy we’re still in.

‘Hurry up!’
‘Shut up, okay! Don’t give me a bad impression on Phil!’ They step on the mat.
Greeter: Welcome to Canada!
Phil: Jenneco & Samantha, you, are team number 5!
Samantha: At least we’re still in this.
Phil: Back at the parking lot, you were kind of arguing at each other. What happened?
Samantha: Just a bad day on driving.

‘I see Phil!’ They step on the mat.
Greeter: Welcome to Canada!
Phil: Joshua & Mitch, you, are team number 6!
Joshua: Ouch, that hurts.
Phil: What hurts?
Mitch: Being in the middle when we were first going out of the airport. But we’ll catch up.

‘There’s Phil, that dear!’
‘Let’s go, then.’
‘Oh, goodness’ gracious, dear! I see another team behind us.’
‘Hey look! I saw them! Let’s outrun them!’
‘It’s better than anything.’
The two teams race to the mat, but the team that arrived first reached there first.
Greeter: Welcome to Canada!
‘Thank you, sonny.’
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie, you, are team number 7!
Mackenzie: I’m just glad we’re not last.
Phil: That makes you, Bilius & Alejandro, team number 8!
Bilius: That’s good enough. Three teams behind us, soon to be two, we’ll catch up.
Mackenzie: You gave me a heart attack on that footrace, dear.
Bilius: Oh, sorry then.
Bilius (conf.): Martin & Mackenzie are sort of lucky to survive the first elimination because of their age. I’d like to compete with them and perhaps Bryanna & Keith in the finals so that we can win easily.
Alejandro (conf.): :lol: I don’t know what you’re talking about. We lost to them in a stupid footrace!

‘There’s Phil!’
‘Thank goodness!’ They step on the mat.
Greeter: Welcome to Canada!
‘Thank you.’
Phil: Bryanna & Keith, you, are team number 9!
Bryanna: Wow, too close.
Phil: But you’re still in it, so congrats.
Keith: We’re very happy.
Keith (conf.): We’re really glad to survive the first leg. We did well, in my opinion.
Bryanna (conf.): We want to shock them all by getting ahead later on in the game.

Jenna & Kathryn and Jerome & JP are shown getting out of their cars and running to the Pitstop, with Jenna & Kathryn the lead.
Jenna: Faster, Kat!
Jerome: We can outrun them!
Kathryn: Oh god! Why can’t the Pitstop be nearer!?
JP: Man, I can’t run any faster!
One team reaches the Pitstop first.
Greeter (wide-eyed): Welcome to Canada!
‘Thanks! Phew!’
‘Oh, darn it! ’
Phil: In a tight footrace, Jerome & JP, you, are team number 10!
Jerome: Phew, that was too close.
JP: Sorry girls.
Jenna: Eff you. :’(
Phil: Jenna & Kathryn, that makes you the last team to arrive.
Kathryn: We did okay. We were so close!! (She glared at Jerome & JP, who didn’t look back.)

Phil: So, how much has this changed you?
Jenna: Oh, it shows at least we work well together, just like in our work. ;D
Kathryn: We’re gonna miss this race. :’( This sucks.
Phil: Jenna & Kathryn, I’m sorry to tell you that...
Jenna & Kathryn hugged and cried.
Phil: I’m really sorry that you’re gonna have to give me all your money.
Jenna: What?
Phil: You are still in the race!
Kathryn: Oh wow! I’m gonna faint!
Jenna: We’re still here Kat! OH, MY GOSH!!! :wohoo:
JP: Oh, gosh, congratulations.
JP (conf.): It was a bummer Jenna & Kathryn weren’t eliminated. No one wants to be the first out.
Phil: But you have to give me all your money and you’ll be starting this next leg with no money at all.
Jenna: Okay then. (She gives all the money to Phil.)
Kathryn: You owe us!!
JP: No we don’t. All is fair in footraces and war.
Jenna (whispering): And it’s a war we shall give.

Jenna (conf.): So now we have no money. But we can survive it.
Kathryn (conf.): We’re just happy to be given this second chance. We won’t waste it. ;D
Jenna (conf.): We’re gonna try our best next leg. No way are we gonna lose!!

*End of Episode 1: We have to take a TOUR! - Debra*

[realshowfan]

Episode 2: There Are The Fake Queens!

Phil: Last time on RealShowFan’s the Amazing Race...Teams embark on RealShowFan’s the Amazing Race’s very first season and flew to Toronto, Canada.
Holly: Fly to Toronto, Ontario, Canada!
Debra: TO CANADA!!!
Phil: Jenna & Kathryn showed their willingness to get themselves at the front.
Jenna: Try to pass them!
Lili: Hey! They overtook us!
Samantha: The barbers just passed us!
Phil: Teams decide to go by chance when it comes to flights.
Bryanna: Since all flights depart at the same time, it’s all about luck.
Phil: Some teams find their Niagara Falls tour romantic.
Debra (conf.): It was so romantic! Seeing the falls, the world knows it is the perfect honeymoon spot, and we’re just there! ON IT!
Phil: Teams then drive to CN Tower for a seemingly unequal Detour.
Kristine (conf.): Well it turned out that because it was evening, there weren’t a lot of people on queue at the elevator. What a relief!
Phil: Teams find it hard handling Dan Turple, but Dan finds it harder going against 11 teams.
Dan: You got to be kidding me. Two out, two in! I better be paid for this.
Phil: All teams are bunched at Valleyview Gardens for an overnight rest.
Lee: Hours of Operation: 8am to 7pm. Great!
Debra: This sucks. We lost our lead.
Joshua: I think to make it fair, the order to receive our clue should be the order we arrive here.
Phil: Despite Joshua’s rule, Holly & Gabrielle flirted their way to the lead the following morning.
Gabrielle: But please, sir. I’m begging you. I’m in a race for a million dollars. I have to get the clue early. Please. :flirt:
Gardener: Oh...Okay.
Phil: Their strategic move got them to first.
Phil: You are team number 1!!
Gabrielle: Yes! :jumpy:
Holly: Yay! :wohoo:
Phil: And in a tight footrace, Jenna & Kathryn came in last place.
Phil: I’m really sorry that you’re gonna have to give me all your money.
Jenna: What?
Phil: You are still in the race!
Phil: 11 teams still remain. Who will be the first eliminated of the race?

Phil: This is Canada, home of the Niagara Falls and maple trees, and in the Kingston area of the country, Fort Henry. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was the first Pitstop in a race around the world. Teams arrived here at the end of last leg for a mandatory rest period where they can eat, sleep, and talk with other teams. Will Holly & Gabrielle be able to maintain their winning streak as they are one hour thirty minutes in front of the second team? And can Jenna & Kathryn overcome this leg starting with no money at all? Holly & Gabrielle, who were the first team to arrive at 9:25am, will depart at 9:25pm.

Currently First: 9:25pm
Gabrielle: Fly to the city of Stockholm.

Phil: Teams must now fly to the city of Stockholm, Sweden.

Phil: Once there, they must grab a marked car and drive to Dahlens Coffee Shop where they’ll find their next clue.


Gabrielle: You have $30 for this leg of the race. Alright let’s go back to the airport!
Holly: It’s a long way.
Gabrielle: We better get going then.
Holly: We’re around here...Okay. I hope I get this right.
Gabrielle (conf.): We were first last leg and we’re gonna keep that lead.
Holly (conf.): Now that we know how to play this game, we’re out for it!
Gabrielle: Here is $5 for the hairdressers! ;D

Currently Second: 10:54pm
Lee: Fly to Stockholm.
Lili: US$30 addition!
Lee (conf.): We would’ve been first if Holly & Gabrielle follow the rules. It’s frustrating.
Lili (conf.): Hey! Second’s cool enough!

Currently Third: 10:58pm
Debra: Fly to Stockholm! Woohoo, we’re going to Sweden!
Debra (conf.): This race is so much fun! I’m having such a blast! It’s especially great to race with Lionel!
Debra: Here, babe, the money.
Lionel: Good. Now let’s get rolling.

Currently Fourth: 11:00pm
Penelope: Stockholm, sis.
Kristine: I know! Isn’t it exciting!?
Kristine (conf.): Fourth in the first leg, not so bad for us women. But it’s not enough to be in the finals. We have a long way!
Kristine: Okay, so, you drive, I map it.

Currently Fifth: 11:11pm
Samantha: Fly to Stockholm! Yay!
Jenneco: Alright!
Samantha (conf.): I think Jenneco and I will try to be calmer and argue at the minimum, especially on the driving.
Samantha: Could there be a flight this late?

Currently Sixth: 11:13pm
Joshua: Stockholm, that’s great!
Mitch: Pretty awesome place! We have $30. Great, I was getting worried of wasting our money.
Joshua: So we should give any money to Jenna & Kathryn?
Mitch: No. Sorry girls.

Currently Seventh: 11:25pm
Martin: Stockholm.
Mackenzie: That’s in Sweden, right? :yess:
Mackenzie (conf.): We weren’t last in the first leg, but the team that was last didn’t get eliminated. Aw...
Martin (conf.): But we will survive this leg, hopefully.
Martin: I think we can ask for a ‘mobile phone’ from that woman there?
Local: Are you pointing at me?
Mackenzie: Hi dear, can we borrow a phone? We need to call the airport?
Local: Oh course, madam. (She inserts the number to the airport and hands it to Martin.)
Martin: Mobile phones are pretty cool.

Currently Eighth: 11:26pm
Alejandro: Fly to Stockholm, Sweden!
Bilius: You have $30 for this leg of the race.
Alejandro: We’re not gonna donate any money to the barbers as they lied to us last time in the airport. (The scene of Jenna & Kathryn thought to be lying when they didn’t is shown.)
Bilius: Hey, there are the old farmers.
Mackenzie: Hi boys. We’re finding a flight.
Bilius: Do you mind sharing information with us?
Mackenzie: No dears.
Mackenzie (conf.): We wanted to help as many people as we can, it’s what we do. We don’t want enemies on hour holiday.
Martin: Okay, bye. (He disconnected the call and handed the phone back to the local.) There is a United Airlines flight departing at 6:00 am and arrives 9:30am the day after that.
Bilius: Are you serious?!
Martin: Yes, they said that’s the earliest. I got four tickets.
Bilius: Alright! Good job, old man!
Bilius (conf.): We really think we should help the elder teams out. We can let them do the jobs for us and we can beat them in a footrace.

Currently Ninth: 11:31pm
Bryanna: Stockholm, Sweden!
Keith: Yay!
Bryanna: Let’s go back to the Toronto Pearson International Airport. It’s here on the map.
Bryanna (conf.): Being the oldest team we’re so happy to not be last. We want to be in this race for our 40th anniversary.
Keith: I’m guessing I’m driving.

Currently Tenth: 11:40pm
JP: We’re going to Stockholm. Awesome!
Jerome: We should team up with the girls. We owe them, and perhaps we can get ahead with them.
Jerome (conf.): Our performance in the first leg was surprisingly horrible.

Currently Last: 11:40pm
Kathryn: Stockholm, Sweden.
Jenna: We have $0 for this leg of the race.
Kathryn: Let’s see what the other teams gave us...CAD$50!
Jenna: Yay!

Toronto Pearson International Airport:
Gabrielle: Goodbye, Canada. We’ll miss you.
They went to the Delta Airlines counter.
Holly: Good morning, do you know what the earliest flight is arriving at Stockholm, Sweden?
Counter worker: Sure, hold on......I’m very sorry, but the best possible flight is the one departing at 6am and arriving at 11:25am the day after that.
Holly: Are you kidding me?!
Counter worker: No, not a good day and time to be buying flights.
Gabrielle: What about other airlines?
Counter worker: Well there’s a United Airlines flight departing 6am and arriving 9:30am the next day as well.
Holly: This is really bad. Are you sure that’s the best flight?
Counter worker: Yes.
Gabrielle: We’ll get two tickets.
Counter worker: At United Airlines counter, please.

United Airlines Counter:
Gabrielle: Hello, we’d like two tickets to Stockholm, Sweden departing 6am and arriving 9:30am the next day.
Counter worker: Sure...Here you go ladies.
Holly: Thanks. Well that was suckish. We lost our lead.
Gabrielle: I’m sad. Where the heck will we sleep for the night?
Holly: Let’s ask the lady again...We’re back. Do you know where we can stay for the night?
Counter worker: There’s a hotel next to this airport.
Holly: Thanks.
Gabrielle: Time to spend our cash before leaving for Sweden.

An hour later:
Lee: Finally!
Lili: Let’s go to the travel agency...Hello. Sorry for interrupting so early. But we’d like to reserve tickets for the fastest flight arriving in Stockholm, Sweden at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport.
Travel agent: No problem...The earliest flight leaves tomorrow. Here are the details.
Lili: It departs the day after? Why?
Travel agent: Lack of flights. Okay I have reserved two tickets for the flight. It’s United Airline.
Lee: Thank you.
Lili (to Lee): How will we spend the night?
Lee: We can’t waste money. We’ll have to stay here.

Debra: Look, the high school teachers are there. Hey guys!
Lili: Hello.
Lionel: Have you got a flight?
Lili: Yeah, not a good one though. We’re getting our tickets now.
Debra: Ooh, great!
The four approach the United Airlines counter.
Lili: Excuse me! We reserved two tickets to Stockholm, Sweden. Lili Chan and Manny Lee are the names.
Lionel (whispering): Manny Lee.
Debra (whispering): Shut up.
Counter worker: Oh yes...Here are your tickets.
Lili: Thank you.
Debra: We would like the same tickets.
Counter worker: Of course...There you go, miss.
Debra: Thank you so much...Checking details...Okay, we’re fine. Let’s go, honey.
Lionel: Should we sleep here or stay in the hotel?
Debra: I’m feeling hotel-ish.

On their way to Toronto Pearson International Airport:
Mackenzie: Hold on honey. I lost the way.
Martin: Are you serious? Let’s pull over to organize it again.
Mackenzie: Sorry.
Bilius: Why are they stopping?
Martin (to Bilius): Sorry, my wife lost the way. We’re tracing our steps. Sorry!
Bilius: You’ve got to be kidding me. Our map doesn’t have the airport on it, for some reason.
Keith: We got the same map as you guys.
Bryanna: Keith, I think we should call the airport. We’re kind of last right now at this rate.
They suddenly saw two marked cars passed them.
JP: Hey, wasn’t that three cars? Does that mean three teams?
Jerome: Oh my god. This is cool.
Jenna: Hey! I saw Bilius! And two other teams! We passed them!
Kathryn: Really? Yay! ;D
Bilius: Oh crap.
Bilius (conf.): Martin & Mackenzie got us to last place, it sucks so much.
Mackenzie: There’s a policeman there. I can ask him...Mister do you know how to get to the airport?
Policeman: You seem kind of lost so okay...
Keith: Can I also borrow a phone if you have one?
Policeman: Sure.
Keith: Thanks.
The policeman marks the directions while Keith calls the airport.
Keith: We’re at United Airlines.
Bilius: Same as us. But we have to go to the airport quicker!
Policeman: There.
Mackenzie: Thanks dear!

Toronto Pearson International Airport:
Samantha: Okay, let’s go.
Jenneco: Okay. Travel agency!
Penelope: We’re here!
Lionel & Debra saw Penelope & Kristine at the entrance.
Penelope: Hey guys. Did you get a flight?
Debra: Yeah, but it’s leaving tomorrow. (She shows them the ticket.)
Kristine: Is that the earliest one!?
Debra: Yeah.
Penelope: You have to be kidding me. But thanks! ;D
Kristine (conf.): I think Debra is playing the nice girl. She’s really helpful.
Lionel: Do you think it’s smart to tell them that.
Debra: I won’t tell anyone else. I promise.
Debra (conf.): I don’t know what got over me. I just felt like helping people out.
Penelope: We need to run to the counter.

Joshua & Mitch entered the airport.
Joshua: Okay, let’s head for the travel agency.

United Airlines Counter:
Penelope: Good morning! We’d like 2 tickets from Toronto to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. The flight that departs at 6am and arrives at 9:30am!
Counter worker: 9:30am the day after the flight departs.
Kristine: Yes. That’s the earliest one, right?
Counter worker: Yes...I’ll see if I can squeeze you two in, there are reservations and we already got tickets for them...
Kristine: Please, miss.

Travel Agency:
Samantha: So here it is.
Jenneco: It’s quite far!
Travel agent: Good morning. How may I help you?
Samantha: Good morning. We’d like to know the earliest flight arriving at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. We’d like two tickets for it. Economic class, please.
Travel agent: Okay...But seats are very limited. There are already reservations coming to pick up their tickets...
Samantha: Please, miss, we need this so much!

United Airlines Counter:
Kristine: Well?
Counter worker: You got them!
Penelope: Phew!
Kristine: :jumpy: You’re a lifesaver.
Penelope: That was intense!
Kristine: We have to rest here. We need to save money.

Travel Agency:
Samantha: Did we get them?
Travel agent: Um...no. I’m sorry, it’s all full. There’s only one seat left.
As she said this, Joshua & Mitch entered the travel agency.
Jenneco: It is Joshua & Mitch.
Mitch: Good morning. Hello, guys.
Samantha: We missed the first flight arriving at Stockholm.
Joshua: Really? Crap!
Travel agent: There’s Delta Airlines, departing 6am, arriving two hours later.
Samantha: Great, just great.
Jenneco: We’ll take two tickets for those.
Joshua: Make that four.
Joshua (conf.): So we arrived at the travel agency and we’re told the first flight was full? I thought ‘We’re screwed,’ and I guess we are.
Travel agent: You can go to Delta Airlines counter for that.
Samantha: Thanks then.

Delta Airlines Counter:
Mitch: Good morning sir! We would like two tickets going to Stockholm, Sweden?
Counter worker: Okay.
Samantha: Make that four.
Counter worker: Okay...Here you go.
Mitch: Thanks.
Samantha: Thanks...Now what, Jenn?
Jenneco: I don’t know. We’re probably one of the teams fighting for survival now.
Jenneco (conf.): It sucks being at the bottom after being in fifth place in the first leg.
Samantha: Where are we gonna stay for the next four hours?
Jenneco: We’ll stay here.
Joshua: Where should we stay? There’s hotel near this airport, I saw.
Mitch: Let’s go there, then.

Toronto Pearson International Airport:
Jerome: Okay, so now we need to find the best flight.
Jenna: Come on, Kat, to the travel agency.
They saw Jenneco & Samantha walking around on their way.
Jenneco: Oh! Wow, you made it here before the old teams.
Jerome: We did? Yes! :yess:
Jenna: Did you get a flight?
Jenneco: Yeah. Good luck, but it arrives really late.
Kathryn: Thanks, then!

Travel Agency:
Kathryn: Good morning! We’d like the earliest available flight arriving in Stockholm-Arlanda Airport?
Travel agent: There’s a Delta Airlines flight departing 6am and arriving 11:25am the day after that.
Kathryn: Seriously? That’s long! But I guess if that’s the earliest then okay.

Toronto Pearson International Airport:
Bilius: Finally! We’re here!
Alejandro: Now let’s get to the ticket counter or else they’ll cancel our tickets!

United Airlines Counter:
Bilius: Hello! We six reserved tickets for the 6am flight arriving at Stockholm-Arlanda at 9:25am!
Counter worker: Names?
They told their names and details etc...
Counter worker: Here are your tickets.
Alejandro: Thanks!
Mackenzie: Thank you, deary.
Keith: Thanks.
Keith (conf.): I think us, the other elder couple, and the roommates are in some sort of alliance. It’s nice.

Delta Airlines Counter:
JP: Excuse me. We’d like four tickets of the 6am flight departing for Stockholm.
Counter worker: Four? Okay...but seats are limited...
Jenna: No déjà vu, I hope.
Counter worker: There you go.
Jerome: Thanks!
Jenna: :yess:

Jenna & Kathryn met Bryanna & Keith.
Jenna: Hey guys. We passed you.
Bryanna: Yeah, but at least we still got the United Airlines flight.
Keith: So we’re all probably bunched.
Kathryn: Don’t you mean Delta Airlines?
Bryanna: No, United Airlines. (She shows them her ticket.)
Jenna:
Jenna (conf.): When I saw Bryanna’s ticket arriving earlier, I literally jaw-dropped.
Kathryn: Oh my god, this can’t be happening. We got a flight arriving later!
Bryanna: Really? (Jenna shows her the ticket.)
Bryanna: Oh, wow, we’re very sorry. We reserved the flight.
Jenna: Should we check?
Kathryn: Yeah. See you two hours later, guys.
Bryanna (conf.): Jenna & Kathryn got a later flight. So we’re not last again. We’re really lucky with United Airlines flights.

United Airlines Counter:
Kathryn: Excuse me? Was there a flight departing 6am and arrives at Stockholm at 9am?
Counter worker: Hm...Yes. But it’s full, sorry.
Kathryn: Rats! No way!
Jenna: We’re screwed! Again!
Kathryn: We’ll make it. Let’s worry about our money first.

Jenna & Kathryn started to beg money from locals at the airport. At 5:30am, they stopped.
Jenna: Let’s count our earnings...
Kathryn: We got a grand total of......CAD$42!
Jenna: So now we have CAD$92. Not bad.

Phil: All teams are now on one of two flights to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, Stockholm. The United Airlines flight, scheduled to arrive at 9:30am the next day, carries Holly & Gabrielle, Lili & Lee, Lionel & Debra, Penelope & Kristine, Martin & Mackenzie, Bilius & Alejandro, and Bryanna & Keith. The Delta Airlines flight, scheduled to arrive at 11:25am the next day, carries Jenneco & Samantha, Joshua & Mitch, Jerome & JP, and Jenna & Kathryn.

Stockholm-Arlanda Airport:
Holly: Swedish Kronas cost so little, we have so much of these now!
Gabrielle: There’s the parking lot! (They got in the car.)
Bryanna: It is smart of you to follow them, honey.
Keith: They were the first to get their cars every time! (They got in the car.)
Penelope: Sis, I don’t think this is the right place.
Debra: Wrong way, honey.
Lionel: Shoot! Excuse me do you know where the parking lot is?
Local: Ja, gå till avfarten och sväng vänster.
Debra: I gotta learn how to speak Swedish someday.
Kristine: I see the sign to the parking lot there!
Debra: It’s here.
Kristine: Come on, Penelope! (They got in the car.)
Lionel: Sorry, babe. (They got in the car.)
Martin: I saw them there, just now.
Mackenzie: Good eyes. (They got in the car.)
Lili: There are the cars, silly.
Lee: And we saw the teams pass us so many times! I’m dumb! (They got in the car.)
Bilius: Where is the parking lot!?!
Alejandro: It’s here, you blobbing idiot! (They got in the car.)

On their way to Dahlens Coffee Shop:
Bryanna: Pass them, honey. We can’t let them be first again after what they did!
Keith: Of course. Anything for you, my dear!
Keith attempted to overtake Holly & Gabrielle.
Holly: Oh my god! They passed us!
Gabrielle: I think we should just leave it. We can outrun them, anyway.
Kristine: Penelope!
Penelope: Yes?
Kristine: Watch this!
Kristine attempted to overtake Holly & Gabrielle.
Penelope: You’re good.
Kristine: We’re second now.
Gabrielle: Holly crap!! I mean, Holly! Drive faster!
Holly: Without going over the speed limit? You know I don’t like crashes!! Besides, the other teams aren’t very near us now.

Dahlens Coffee Shop:
Keith: Get the clue!
Bryanna: I got it! Detour!! Serve Coffee or Serve the Queen!
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams have to choose a task which Sweden is famous for. Their choice: Serve Coffee or Serve the Queen.

In Serve Coffee, teams will have to enter the coffee shop and help serve a table of customers some coffee. They must follow their procedures. They must put placemats for them, then they must serve coffee one at a time without spilling any of them. A spill will result them in going back for another one. Once done, the shop owner will hand them their next clue. This task isn’t physically demanding nor is it far to reach, but teams without the balance may be stuck serving over and over again.


In Serve the Queen, teams must drive to Drottningholm Palace and outside it are ‘queens’ waiting for their crown on a table near them. They must try to fit a crown to one of the ‘queens’. If they got a match, they’ll receive their next clue. This task is farther. But teams that have a sense of fashion may be served with their next clue quick enough to make up for the lost time.


Bryanna: Should we do Serve Coffee? We love coffee!
Keith: Of course!
Kristine: Which one should we do?
Penelope: I’m not good with hands.
Kristine: We’ll do Serve the Queen. It should be really easy.
Gabrielle: Let’s serve the coffee. Both ways, we’ll be servants and I don’t like that, so let’s do the less royal one.
Holly: Serve Coffee it is!
Lionel: Let’s serve coffee. I’m better at it.
Debra: Oh yeah!! :lol:
Mackenzie: We’re doing Serve Coffee. We’re good balancers.
Martin: Yeah...
Lee: I think we should do Serve the Queen. Holding crowns will be cool.
Lili: You and your fantasies. Let’s go!
Bilius: We’re doing Serve Coffee because it’s just here!
Everyone went to their respective Detours.

Serve Coffee:
Keith: Let’s pick a table.
Bryanna: It’s a big coffee shop. So many people in a table!
Holly: Let’s get here. It’s a clean table.
Debra: Let’s get the one near the door.
Lionel: This should be a piece of cake
Martin: Let’s pick this seat.
Alejandro: We’re getting the one near the kitchen.
Bilius: Okay let’s go! Placemats!
Everyone was handed placemats.
Debra: We have to serve one by one to the customers, ugh. And one member does the placemats and one does the coffee. So it’s like a Roadblock! What the heck!
Lionel: But you’re definitely in your zone! Do it quick!
Mackenzie: This is hard.
Holly: Why must this be a big restaurant?
Gabrielle: Coffee Shop.
It was a while until one team finishes the first part of the task.
Lionel: Good job, babe! Time for the coffee! This is easy!
Lionel does the tasks real quick.
Debra: :hearts:
Debra (conf.): For the Serve Coffee Detour, I felt instantly that we have this in the bag.
Mackenzie: I’m done with the placemats, Martin. You do the coffee.
Martin: Of course, honey.
Holly: I’m done!
Gabrielle: I’m guessing I go next.

Serve the Queen:
Penelope: We’re here! There are the fake queens!
Kristine: Eleven queens and eleven crowns. Easy!
Lili: Let’s get through the crowns.
Lee: We only need to fit in one...These crowns aren’t interesting.
The two teams started to fit in the crown they chose to the queens and one team eventually finishes it first.
Lee: This fits!!
Queen: Gratulationer! Here is your next clue!
Lili: Yes! :jumpy:
Lee: Drive to ‘The Old Town’ where the Stockholm Bloodbath took place and find its square for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now drive themselves to ‘The Old Town’ and find its square where the Stockholm Bloodbath took place. What they should know is that ‘The Old Town’ is Gamla Stan. It’s here in the square where teams will find their next clue, at Stortorget.


Lee: Caution: Yield Ahead!!
Phil: This is the first Yield of the race. If a team is Yielded, they must turn the hourglass and wait until it is time for them to continue. If a team has used a Yield, they cannot use another Yield for the remainder of the race so they must find the best time to use it.


Lili: We need to ask the locals.
Lee: No! It’s easy! I know where it is! Give me the map! I’ll drive as well!
Lili: Wow, and I thought history wouldn’t help real much.
Penelope: This fits her so well.
Queen: Here is your next clue!
Kristine: Great! Drive to ‘The Old Town’ where the Stockholm Bloodbath took place and find its square for your next clue. Let’s follow them! I’m sure the guy knows where it is! He seemed so enthusiastic just now!

Stockholm-Arlanda Airport:
Jenneco: Okay! Where’s the parking space?
Samantha: Let’s look for signs.
Jenna: Let’s go out and check.
Kathryn: I see our cars! (They got in the car.)
Mitch: The girls are there!
Joshua: What are you waiting for, then? (They got in the car.)
Jerome: There are the cars! There are only two left! Drats!
JP: Let’s get to it then! You have the map? (They got in the car.)
Jerome: Yeah I do!
Samantha: Where is it?
Jenneco: I don’t know! Just shut up and look for the marked sign?
Samantha: How did they all find it so fast!?
Jenneco: Here it is! Shoot, we’re last. (They got in the car.)

Serve Coffee:
One team completes it first.
Lionel: Done! Yay!
Debra: Go Lionel! :hearts:
Shop owner: Here is your next clue.
Lionel: Thank you.
Debra: Drive to ‘The Old Town’...I’ve read about the Stockholm Bloodbath, it’s in Gamla Stan.
Lionel: Caution: Yield Ahead! We can’t be Yielded!
Keith: I finished!
Bryanna: Yay!
Keith: Let’s go! I think the fine girl knows where it is.
Bryanna: Time to follow!
Holly: Come on, Gabrielle!
Gabrielle: Just shut up and let me concentrate! (She spilled some coffee and was told to go back.) Just keep it down okay!
Holly (conf.): I think Gabrielle had a hard time at the Detour because she wasn’t used to serving people at all. I actually think Serve the Queen is the better choice for her.
Martin: I’m done!
Alejandro: I’m finished!
Martin: Drive to ‘The Old Town’...
Bilius: Caution: Yield Ahead!
Bilius (conf.): There was the first Yield of the race. I was hoping someone would Yield Holly & Gabrielle or Jenna & Kathryn. We hate them.
A decent few minutes later, after a lot of spills:
Gabrielle: Finally! The twentieth and last cup of coffee!
Holly: Good job! No one else got in so we must not be last!
Gabrielle: So let’s find this place before we get Yielded!
Gabrielle (conf.): I know we have a big chance to get Yielded after our win last leg and us not following the rules.

Gamla Stan:
Lee: Okay, we’re here. Sir, excuse me, is this Gamla Stan?
Local: Gamla Stan? Detta är Gamla Stan!
Lee: I’m guessing it is.
Lili: So where’s the square?
Lee: Let’s look for the Yield sign, that’s more obvious.
Lili: Ah, there.
Lee: We chose NOT to Yield.
Lili: Make your way to the school named Deutsche Schule Stockholm.
Phil: Teams must now drive to this school, where a teacher waiting outside will hand their next clue.


Lili: Let’s make a run for it.
They pass Penelope & Kristine on the way.
Kristine: They found the clue, I think.
Penelope: It’s there.
Kristine: We chose not to Yield!
Kristine (conf.): It’s too early to use the Yield that time.
Penelope: Right, we have to find this school.
Kristine: We need to ask the locals.
Penelope: Does anyone know where Deutsche Schule Stockholm is!?
Local: I know where it is.
Kristine: Do you think you can take us there?
Local: You have to drive.
Kristine: So can you take us there?
Local: Are you crazy!?
Kristine: Sorry, we’re in a race. Can you mark it on the map, then?
Local: Hm...I can’t figure this map out. Sorry.
Penelope: Great. What street or something?
Local: I know it’s at Karlavägen or something.
Kristine: So we’ll just find it at that point. Thanks!!

On their way to Deutsche Schule Stockholm:
Lee: Okay, there are the police, we need to make sure that school mark on your map is right. Sir, is this Deutsche Schule Stockholm?
Police officer: No, this is Deutsche Schule Stockholm.
Lee: Oh, you speak English! So, it’s farther away. Thank you.
Lili: Well?
Lee: It’s right here and he speaks English.
Lili: Good. We’re lucky.

Gamla Stan:
Debra: So...Does anyone know where the Stockholm Bloodbath took place!?
Local: HOW DARE YOU PHRASE THAT OUT!! Du är en skam!
Debra: Did you say I’m a scum!?
Keith (whispering to Bryanna): I see the clue box. Let’s go.
They got to the clue box.
Bryanna: Deutsche Schule Stockholm. Let’s ask someone, they seem to know English.
Bryanna & Keith got to their car and started asking for directions.
Lionel: Deb, let’s go. I see the clue box.
Debra: That woman just attacked me. :’(
Debra (conf.): I know I must’ve harmed her in some way. But it’s all in the past! People talk about it! What the heck?
Lionel: Drive to Deutsche Schule Stockholm.
Debra: We Yield no one. Not the time now, and we have the lead. I’m sorry I wasted time.
Lionel: It’s nothing. We’re still in the lead.
Alejandro: We’re here!
Bilius: Look, I saw Lionel, Debra, Bryanna, and Keith!
Bryanna: Hello.
Lionel: Excuse me, we need to find this school. Do you know where it is?
Keith: Madam, we would like to know where Deutsche Schule in Stockholm is.
Local 1 (to Lionel): I think it’s along the streets of Brunnsgatan.
Local 2 (to Keith): It’s right here, at Karlavägen Street.
Martin: Now where are the boys?
Mackenzie: There! And I see the clue box!
Alejandro: Okay! Should we Yield?
Bilius: For pure revenge, yes!
They stuck a picture on the Yield board and put their own at the ‘Courtesy Of:’ box.


Bilius: It is all strategy, girls, just like your ability to flirt.
Alejandro: Drive to Deutsche Schule Stockholm!
Bilius: Hm...Our map has the school!
Mackenzie: Good job on Yielding them, boys.
Bilius: Thanks!
Martin: We need to find this school.
Mackenzie: Let’s ask the man there. Excuse me, do you know this school?
Local: Oh, yes! My son studies there! But today they’re doing something special.
Martin: Really? Can you take us there?
Local: With pleasure! You have to take a car, though.
Mackenzie: Of course.
Mackenzie (conf.): We found this very nice man willing to help us find this school in Swedish language. We’re very fortunate.

Dahlens Coffee Shop:
Three teams got to their clues so close to one another.
Jenna: Detour!
Mitch: Serve Coffee...
JP: Or Serve the Queen.
Kathryn: Serve Coffee! It’s just here!
Mitch: Serve Coffee!
Jerome: Serve Coffee!
They all enter the shop, chose their table, and one team member began placing placemats. After a few minutes, the last team enters the coffee shop.
Jenneco: Serve Coffee or Serve the Queen?
Samantha: Serve Coffee!
Jenneco: Serve the Queen!
Samantha: Are you kidding me? We have to drive!
Jenneco: But it may be the easier task!
Samantha: Fine!
Jenneco: Here’s Drottningholm Palace, let’s go! You drive!
Two teams complete placing the placemats.
Kathryn: I’m done! Serve the coffee, Jenna!
Jenna: Okay!
JP: I’m done!
Jerome: Time for the coffee.
JP: Remember, don’t spoil anything!
Jerome: Spill!!
Mitch: I’m done as well!
Joshua: You took your time!

Gamla Stan:
Gabrielle: We made it!
Holly: Awesome.
Gabrielle: Where’s the clue box?
Holly: I see it!!
They saw their picture on the Yield board.
Gabrielle: No way!! (:
Holly: I can’t believe it!
Holly (conf.): We got Yielded by the fat boys. They suck, they’re just jealous we won the first leg.
Gabrielle: Now what?
Holly: Gabrielle!!! Flip the hourglass!!
Gabrielle: Oh, shoot! Sorry!

Serve Coffee:
Jenna: Slow and steady wins the race!
Jerome: Yeah right.
Joshua: Fast and safe assures you the win!
One team completes the Detour.
Joshua: I’m done!
Shop owner: Good job! Here’s your next clue!
Joshua: Thanks!
Mitch: Good job! Drive to ‘The Old Town’ and find the square where the Stockholm Bloodbath took place.
Joshua: Hm...I wonder where that is. We should ask locals.
Jenna: This sucks.
Jerome: Oops! (He spilled some coffee.) I have to go back.

Serve the Queen:
Jenneco: See! Now there are only nine queens and nine crowns!
Samantha: We’ll do this.
They eventually found the right match.
Queen: Here is your next clue.
Jenneco: Thank you!
Samantha: Good Detour choice!

On their way to Gamla Stan:
Mitch: Excuse me, sir, do you know where ‘The Old Town’ is and what is its square?
Local: Hm...If I remember correctly, it is Gamla Stan and the square is Stortorget.
Joshua: Great, thanks. Let’s hit it.

Gamla Stan:
Holly: Come on, you’ve got to be kidding me. Only half of it is done.
Gabrielle: I’m bored already.
Mitch: We made it.
Joshua: Oh, you got Yielded!
Holly: Yeah.
Holly (conf.): The other teams caught up real fast!
Gabrielle (conf.): The stupid hourglass is falling like there was no end!
Joshua: Find the school named Deutsche Schule Stockholm. It’s on our map! Yes!
Holly: Great.

Serve Coffee:
Kathryn: I’m done!
Jerome: Me too!
Kathryn: Drive to ‘The Old Town’.
Jerome: Find its square.
They asked for separate directions and head on.

On their way to Gamla Stan:
Samantha: Let’s pull over and ask that guy there.
Jenneco: Hey sir!!
Local: What? Are you talking to me?
Jenneco: Yes! Do you know where the Stockholm Bloodbath took place?
Local: Hm...I don’t know.
Local 2 (happened to be eavesdropping at them): It’s in Gamla Stan!
Jenneco: Are you sure? Thanks so much!

Deutsche Schule Stockholm:
Lee: There’s the teacher!
Lili: Thank you!
Lee: Roadblock! Who wants to be understood?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task which only one team member must complete. In this Roadblock, that team member must learn the basic Swedish language. They must enter a marked classroom, where a teacher will teach them basic Swedish. Once they think they know how to pronounce the words and understand them, they must have a basic conversation with a student. If they get it right, they’ll receive their next clue.


Lili: I’ll do this!
Lili (conf.): I was sort of excited to do the Roadblock because I am a teacher, I am a fast learner, and I wanted to learn different types of languages.

Gamla Stan:
Samantha: Where’s our next clue?
Holly: Finally!
Gabrielle: Great! Find the school named Deutsche Schule Stockholm. Great, now what!
Holly: We ask locals.
Jenneco: I see Holly & Gabrielle!
Samantha: No way, they’re still here?
Jenneco: They got Yielded. Find the school...

On their way to Deutsche Schule Stockholm:
Debra: Lionel, I think we should seek for more assurance.
Lionel: I trust you. I’ll ask that woman there...Excuse me!
Local: Yes?
Lionel: Do you know where Deutsche Schule Stockholm is?
Local: It’s a school in the street of Karlavägen.
Lionel: Not-Not Brunnsgatan?
Local: No, not there.
Lionel: Oh, shoot.
Debra: We went the wrong way?
Lionel: Yep. It’s here.
Debra: Karlavägen...Then what was the man thinking when we asked him just now??

Gamla Stan:
Jenna: There’s our clue!
JP: Holly & Gabrielle were Yielded.
Kathryn: We need to find the school.
The two teams asked for directions and headed on.

Deutsche Schule Stockholm:
Bryanna: Roadblock!
Penelope: Who wants to be understood?
Bryanna: I’ll do it, it’s not the men’s type of challenges.
Kristine: I’ll do it. I know a bit of Swedish.

Roadblock:
Teacher: Hej, pronounced HEY, means ‘hello’.
Lili: Oh, that’s easy. It’s in English as well. :lol:
Teacher: Tack, pronounced TUCK, means ‘thank you’.
Lili: Tack.
Bryanna: Here’s a classroom.
Kristine: Alright, miss, I’m ready to learn!

Deutsche Schule Stockholm:
Bilius: Roadblock!
Martin: Who will do it?
Mackenzie: I will.
Alejandro: I’ll do this. If you do it, boy, we’ll be there forever! :lol:

On their way to Deutsche Schule Stockholm:
Debra: Honey, I think I see the gossip friends behind us.
Lionel: Shoot!
Jenneco: Look! They’re there!
Samantha: Follow them!
Holly: Look, there’s another car! It’s Lionel & Debra’s! How did they get so far behind?
Gabrielle: They must’ve got lost.
Debra: We can make it, honey. We need to stay positive.
Lionel: I know, just...we need to keep quiet.
Debra: Even though I feel offended, I feel the need for me to shut up too. :lol:

Deutsche Schule Stockholm:
Joshua: Roadblock! Who wants to be understood?
Mitch: You have to do it, Mr. Anderson.
Joshua: I’ll do it.

Roadblock:
Lili: I’m ready!
Teacher: Okay, good luck. (She called the student watching them and they started their conversation.)
Student: Hej!
Lili: Hej.
Student: Vad heter du?
Lili: Erm...Jag heter Lili.
Student: Var kommer du i från?
Lili: Jag kommer från U.S.A.
Student: Tack!
Lili: Hm...Varsågad!?
Student: Hejdå!
Lili: Hejdå!
Teacher: Good job! Your first attempt!
Lili: Thanks, I’m a teacher.
Teacher: Really? No wonder! Here is your next clue!
Lili: Yay! Mr. Lee! I got it! :jumpy:
Lee: Wow! In both legs we finished the Roadblock first!
Lili: I know! Make your way to the next Pitstop!!
Phil: Teams must now make their way to the next Pitstop: Mediterranean Museum. This museum, formed in 1954 when the Egyptian Museum and the Cypriotic Collection were combined, is the second Pitstop of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.


Lili: Yes! Let’s go!!
Lee: Being first would be SO cool!

Deutsche Schule Stockholm:
Lionel: Roadblock! Who wants to be understood?
Debra: I’ll do it! You’ve done enough, honey. :kuss:
Samantha: Roadblock!
Gabrielle: Who wants to be understood?
Samantha: We’ll see who they choose.
Gabrielle: I’ll do it.
Samantha: Pfft, like she needs to be understood. :res:
Jenneco: I guess I’m doing it.

Roadblock:
Bryanna: I’m ready!
Kristine: I have been ready from the very beginning as it’s only the basic language!
Bryanna’s 1st Attempt:

Teacher: Well done, A+! Here is your well rewarded clue!
Kristine: Thanks! (She got out of the classroom.)
Penelope: Yes, sis. How was it?
Kristine: So easy!
Penelope: Make your way to the next Pitstop!
Kristine: Aw, come on. We miss first place again.

Mediterranean Museum-Pitstop:
‘Are we supposed to enter it?’
‘I think so. But it’s a museum, so shush!’ The team entered the museum and saw Phil and the mat and jumped on the mat.

Greeter: Hej! Welcome to Stockholm, Sweden.
Lee: Hey? Wow.
Lili: That’s hello in English!
Lee: Oh, so that’s why the term ‘Hey’ for teens is popular for greetings.
Phil: :lol: Lili & Lee...You, are team number 1!
Lili: :jumpy:
Lee: Yes! Finally!
Phil: Shh, this is a museum. As winners of this race you have each won a trip for two from Travelocity to Hong Kong, China!
Lili: Yay, China!!
Phil: Shh. You’ll spend two weeks at the beautiful city of Hong Kong. You’ll enjoy the cable car ride at Ngong Ping 360, go dolphin-watching, and celebrate Chinese New Year! You can enjoy all this after the race!
Lili: That’s great!
Phil: So, last leg you were second and now you’re first!
Lee: This game is loads of fun!

‘We made it!’
‘I hope the teams in front of us, if any, got lost. I’m dying for a first place finish.’
Greeter: Welcome to Stockholm, Sweden!
Kristine: Thank you!
Phil: Penelope & Kristine, you, are team number 2!
Kristine: Not bad!
Penelope: Yay! We’re improving!
Phil: Congrats!

Deutsche Schule Stockholm:
Jenna: Roadblock.
JP: Who wants to be understood?
Kathryn: I’ll do it.
Jerome: I think you should do it.
JP: I had done the last leg! You do this leg! None of us are good at languages!
Jerome: Fine, I’ll do it!

Roadblock:
Bryanna: I’m willing to try again now!
Alejandro: Alright, after an hour of memorizing, I’m ready.
Mackenzie: I am ready, dear.
Joshua: I think I can do it now.
Bryanna’s 2nd Attempt:

Student: Hejdå!
Joshua: Hejdå.
Teacher: Good job!
Joshua: Thank you. This is like an exam. I did it!
Mitch: Great! We have a Pitstop! At least we’re the fifth out of here.

On their way to the Pitstop:
Bryanna: So there was a nice old man and we asked him if he knows where the museum is and yes, he told us. So we’re on our way to the Pitstop.
Martin: Can’t you believe it, honey? We’re going to the Pitstop and we left early.
Mackenzie: Yeah. So we talked to the man Bryanna & Keith talked to earlier and he told us exactly where to go.
Martin: I will try to overtake them now.
Martin tries to overtake Bryanna & Keith.
Keith: Aw! No way.
Bryanna: Maybe we will beat them in a footrace? :lol:

‘Let’s go honey!’
‘Look, there they are! Let’s outrun them!’
‘Run!’
‘Why do I have to be in another footrace?’
One team arrives at the Pitstop first, and quietly.
Greeter: Welcome to Stockholm, Sweden.
Martin: Thank you.
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie, you, are team number 3.
Martin: Woah.

Jerome’s 1st Attempt:
Student: Hej!
Jerome: Hej.
Student: Vad heter du?

Bilius: You are an idiot! Trying to risk our position in the race!
Alejandro: Shut up, you try that language test.
Bilius: Make your way to the next Pitstop. Great, let’s get to it.

Mediterranean Museum-Pitstop:
‘We should keep quiet in museums.’
‘I know, mister.’
Greeter: Welcome to Sweden.
Joshua: We love Sweden. Do you love brushing your teeth? (The greeter looked confused at that.)
Phil: Joshua & Mitch, you, are team number five.
Mitch: Yes, improvement. :yess: Even when we got the later flight.
‘I think that’s the museum, babe. Look, Mus or whatever!’
‘It’s marked so my sentiment is yes.’
They entered the museum quietly and jumped into the Pitstop mat.
Greeter: Welcome to Sweden.
Debra: Cool country.
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number 6.
Lionel: Ouch.
Debra: Aw, that stinks. At least we made it.

Student: Tack!
Gabrielle: Varsågad!
Student: Hejdå!
Gabrielle: Hejdå!
Teacher: Congratulations, Gabrielle! By the way, I watch you on TV. You’re great!
Gabrielle: Thanks! (She exited the classroom and found Holly.)
Gabrielle: I’m SO sorry!
JP: Oh, geez.
Gabrielle: Everyone left!?
Holly: Yes! So let’s hurry!
JP: We’re last, this is suckish! We’re dead, we’re dead.

Mediterranean Museum-Pitstop:
‘Come on, faster!’
‘Okay, okay! Sheesh!’
‘Quiet!’
‘Okay, okay!’
Greeter: Welcome to Sweden.
Phil: Jenneco & Samantha, you, are team number 7.
Samantha: Seven...Aw...
Jenneco: Two positions down.
Phil: Are you still arguing?
Jenneco: No, Samantha drove well today.
Samantha: Keep your mouth shut.

Roadblock:
Jerome’s 3rd Attempt:
Jerome: I better get this right.
JP: He better get it right soon.
Student: Hej!
Jerome: Hej.
Student: Vad heter du?
Jerome: Jag heter Jerome!
Student: Var kommer du i från?
Jerome: Jag kommer från U.S.
Student: Tack!
Jerome: Hejdå!
Teacher: Um...Wrong, he said ‘Thank you’. You should’ve said ‘You’re welcome.’
Jerome: You have got to be kidding me.
Jerome (conf.): At that point I thought that I am screwed and I screwed JP. I felt really disappointed.

Mediterranean Museum-Pitstop:
‘This is the museum, right?’
‘It’s open, let’s check. I see Phil.’
Greeter: Welcome to Sweden.
Kathryn: Thank you.
Phil: Jenna & Kathryn...
Jenna: Yes, Phil?
Phil: You, are team number...8.
Jenna: Yes, we did it, Kat.
Kathryn: I’m so happy.
Phil: So, how do you think you managed the money problem?
Jenna: We overcame that great. We managed to receive a handful of money more than enough for the leg.
Phil: Well, at least you are still here.
Jenna: At least.
Jenna (conf.): We survived a leg with no money at all. We were so proud.
‘Faster, you blob!’
‘Have you looked at yourself in the mirror!?!’
Greeter: Welcome to Sweden.
Alejandro: Thank you.
Phil: Bilius & Alejandro, you, are team number 9.
Bilius: Phew.
Alejandro: We’ll take it.

Roadblock:
Jerome’s 4th Attempt:
Student: Hej!
Jerome: Hej.
Student: Vad heter du?
Jerome: Jag heter Jerome.
Student: Var kommer du i från?
Jerome: Jag kommer från U.S.
Student: Tack!
Jerome: Varsågad.
Student: Hejdå!
Jerome: Hejdå.
Teacher: You did it!
Jerome: FINALLY!!
JP: You did it?
Jerome: Yes, where is everybody?
JP: They left. We’re too far behind to catch up now.
Jerome: I’m so sorry.

Mediterranean Museum-Pitstop:
Phil: Holly & Gabrielle, you, are team number 10.
Holly: From first to tenth, what else?
Gabrielle: We’ll catch up. Stupid Yield!
Long minutes later:
JP: We’re here, Phil.
Jerome: I’m really sorry we’re late.
Phil: Jerome & JP, you are the eleventh team to arrive...
Jerome: Gosh, this is embarrassing...
Phil: I’m sorry to tell you that you are the last team to check-in...
JP: Man, I hope it’s a Non-Elimination Leg.
Phil: I’m sorry to say you’ve been eliminated.
JP: Doh! Crud!
Phil: So, how are you gonna miss this race?
Jerome: I’m sorry, JP, for letting you down.
JP: It’s okay, we’ve had our fun.

JP (conf.): It sucks to be the first out but we’ll learn from it.
Jerome (conf.): We get to see each other more personally now. I learnt more of JP which I couldn’t have learned when playing football with him.
JP (conf.): We’re likely still going to be friends, but we’ll miss the race so much.
Jerome (conf.): The Amazing Race is an experience one cannot forget unless they got amnesia.

Episode 3: We're Farmers But We Don't Farm Oranges.

Phil: Last time on RealShowFan’s the Amazing Race...Teams fly to Sweden’s capital, Stockholm.
Debra: Fly to Stockholm! Woohoo, we’re going to Sweden!
Samantha: Fly to Stockholm! Yay!
Phil: Jenna & Kathryn started without any money.
Jenna: We have $0 for this leg of the race.
Phil: Going to the airport, old teams and Bilius & Alejandro pulled over, leaving a gap for the last two teams to overtake them.
JP: Hey, wasn’t that three cars? Does that mean three teams?
Jenna: Hey! I saw Bilius! And two other teams! We passed them!
Phil: But the three teams managed to call the airport to reserve the earliest flight tickets.
Martin: Yes, they said that’s the earliest. I got four tickets.
Phil: At the Serve Coffee Detour, Gabrielle discovered an ability she didn’t bring to the race.
Gabrielle: Let’s serve the coffee. Both ways, we’ll be servants and I don’t like that, so let’s do the less royal one.
Holly (conf.): I think Gabrielle had a hard time at the Detour because she wasn’t used to serving people at all.
Phil: And she also realized her flirting ability doesn’t work on a conniving team when a Yield comes.
Bilius: It is all strategy, girls, just like your ability to flirt.
Phil: Some teams excel at the Roadblock.
Teacher: Hej, pronounced HEY, means ‘hello’.
Lili: Oh, that’s easy. It’s in English as well. :lol:
Teacher: Well done, A+!
Kristine: Thanks!
Phil: While some less brainy teams struggled at it.
Student: Var kommer du i från?
Alejandro: Okay, I don’t know that.
Teacher: Sorry, you have to start again.
Gabrielle: Jag...I dunno.
Teacher: Start again!
JP: We’re last, this is suckish! We’re dead, we’re dead.
Phil: In the end, it was high school teachers Lili & Lee that came up with a win.
Phil: You are team number 1!
Lili: :jumpy:
Phil: While soccer buddies Jerome & JP came up short.
Phil: I’m sorry to say you’ve been eliminated.
JP: Doh! Crud!
Phil: Ten teams remain. Who’ll be eliminated next?

Phil: This is Sweden, known for its palaces and natural beauty. In the heart of the capital city Stockholm, is the Mediterranean Museum. This museum, formed for the combination of the Egyptian Museum and the Cypriotic Collection, is the second Pitstop in a race around the world. Teams arrived here at the end of last leg for a 24-hour mandatory rest period. Can Lili & Lee keep up their consistent good position in the race? Can leg 1 winners Holly & Gabrielle get out of last place? Lili & Lee, who were the first to arrive at 11:40am, will depart at 11:40am because of the 24-hour rest period.

Currently First: 11:40am
Lee: New leg, new day.
Lili: Make your way by train to Uppsala.
Phil: Teams must now make their way to the city of Uppsala by train.

Phil: Once there they must walk to the Uppsala University where their next clue is beside a rune.


Lee: You have $20 for this leg of the race. We must first get a taxi to the train station. It says so here.
Lili: Well I see a taxi now! Taxi!
Lili (conf.): We got first yesterday! We’re hoping we won’t have the same fate as Holly & Gabrielle, though.
Lee: How much will it be from here to the train station?
Taxi driver: 35SEK!
Lee: Okay, then.

Train Station-Stockholm:
Lili: Okay...Counter worker...Ticket seller whatever...
Lee: Oh, that must be the guy.
Lili: Excuse me?
Ticket seller: Yes? How may I help you?
Lili: We would like to go to Uppsala. How do we go there?
Ticket seller: You just pay here for the tickets.
Lili: We’ll buy two, please.
Ticket seller: Okay. That’ll be 61SEK.
Lili: Tack.
Ticket seller: Tack! ;D

Currently Second: 11:59am

Martin (conf.): We’re having so much fun and learning new things! It’s better than farming!

Currently Fourth: 12:25pm
Bryanna: Uppsala! Where’s that? Is that in Sweden?
Keith: I guess we’ll find out.
Bryanna: Martin! Mackey!
Mackenzie: Look, Bryanna & Keith just got here.
Keith: Do you think we can share a taxi and split the fare?
Martin: Of course! Anything to save money!
Martin (conf.): Our friendship with Bryanna & Keith is getting stronger leg by leg. We’re always so close to each other!
The four got one taxi and squeezed in.
Mackenzie: We each pay 18SEK.
Bryanna: Fair! ;D
Bryanna (conf.): We definitely want to work with Martin & Mackenzie. We can trust them and they can trust us. It’s an inevitable trust!

Train Station-Stockholm:
Mackenzie: Excuse me! We would like four tickets to Uppsala.
Ticket seller: That will be 61SEK each...Your train will arrive at 1pm.
Martin: Thanks.
Mackenzie: Thank you dear.
Keith: Thank you!
Bryanna: Tack! Now we just have to wait.

Train Station-Uppsala:
Lee: Hurry! Taxi! Taxi!
Lili: No, Mr. Lee! It says ‘Make your way on foot to the Uppsala University and find the rune!’
Lee: Oh, sorry.
Kristine: Let’s start asking for directions.
Penelope: Does anyone know where Uppsala University is?
Local: Ja, it’s there. Can you see that building?
Kristine: That reddish brown one?
Local: Ja that’s the one. I’ll go with you.
Kristine: Okay. Tack!
Lili: Does anyone know where the University is?
Local (another one): I know where it is.

Local: Erm...Okay. But need to hurry.
Lee: Great! (They follow the man.)

Currently Fifth: 12:52pm
Mitch: Make your way by train to Uppsala.
Joshua: We can take a taxi to the train station first.
Joshua (conf.): We’re doing pretty well so far. We’re spreading the toothbrush to the world now.

Train Station-Stockholm:
Keith: Look, the businessmen are there.
Bryanna: But why do they keep holding toothbrushes?
Joshua: Mr. Morris, the elder teams are there. It must be a long wait.
Mitch: Well then what about the first two teams? (They got their tickets and sat away from the old people.)
At 1:00pm, their train arrived and they departed for Uppsala.

Uppsala University:
Kristine: Do you know what a rune is?
Local: What’s a rune? I don’t know that much English, sorry. :duno:
Kristine: It’s okay. It’s a rock. (She gestures a rock shape.)
Local: Hm...
Penelope: There’s the clue box!
Kristine: That’s a rune! (She points to the rune.)
Local: OH! Okay!
Kristine: Tack!
Local: Varsågad! Hejdå!
Kristine: Hejdå! That’s a helpful guy for someone cute.
Penelope: Someone’s got a Swedish crush.
Kristine: Read the clue.
Penelope: Make your way on foot to Carl Linnaeus Garden.
Phil: Teams must now walk to the oldest botanical gardens of Sweden, Carl Linnaeus Garden. It’s here where teams will find their next clue.



Penelope: Alright!
Kristine: We need the guy back.
Kristine ran to the man who helped them.
Kristine: Do you know Carl Linnaeus Garden?
Local: Of course! Everybody knows it! Follow me!
Kristine: Thank you!

Carl Linnaeus Garden:
Kristine: It’s just here!
Local: Yeah, it’s very near the school. Bye now.
Kristine: Bye!
Penelope: Roadblock! Who can ‘citrus’? (see truce)
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member must perform. In this Roadblock, that team member must search around Uppsala’s well-liked garden’s Orangery for a red orange, or a grapefruit. Once they find it, they must give it to the person with their next clue.


Kristine: I can ‘citrus’!
Penelope: Search the Orangery for a red orange or a grapefruit.
Kristine: I’m at it!
Penelope: And by the way, Kristine, you’re too old for that guy. :lol:

Uppsala University:
Lili: There it is!
Lee: Make your way on foot to Carl Linnaeus Garden. Where did that man go?
Lili: I think he left?
Lee: Now what?
Lili: Well, maybe that’s the garden? It is full of grass.
Lee: Uppsala is really wonderful.

Lionel: Thank you!
Debra: Tack!

Debra: Let us hope no one gets here then.

Carl Linnaeus Garden:
Lili: This is it!
Lee: Roadblock! Who can ‘citrus’? I can!
Lili: Good luck!
Lee: So I have to find a grapefruit? Easy!
Lili: Easy to distinguish, not easy to find.

Roadblock:
Kristine: Hm...A red orange, a red orange...
Penelope: Lililee is here, sis!
Lee: We caught up, yay.
They both searched for the red orange.

Currently Seventh: 1:23pm
Samantha: Make your way by train to Uppsala.
Jenneco: :yess: No more self-driving!
Jenneco (conf.): I think we’re improving our anger management, actually.
Samantha: Do you know where the train station is?
Taxi driver: No, not sure.
Samantha: Never mind then.
Few minutes later, they found a taxi that knows where to go.

Train Station-Stockholm:
Samantha: Hey guys!
Debra: Aw...They caught up. :groan:
Jenneco & Samantha got their tickets.

Roadblock:
Kristine: I think this is it?

Kristine: Oh well. I’ll miss Uppsala. This is a really nice place!
Lili: Bye wonderful and clean city of Uppsala.
Lee: Hello Warsaw!!
Lee (conf.): I was really excited to go to Warsaw!

Lee: Taxi, I think.
Kristine: Let’s go by foot. No one’s behind us.
Penelope: Okay.

Train Station-Uppsala:
Keith: Time to go back to University.
Bryanna: Oh how time flies, you studied here?
Keith: No!
Joshua: Can anyone take us to Uppsala University?
Joshua (conf.): We businessmen are not afraid to speak and ask. So we pretty much annoy people until one helps us.
Joshua: Anyone? Uppsala University!
Local: Oh yeah! Uppsala University is there!
Joshua: Can you take us there?
Local: Sorry, I’m in a hurry. I can’t help. You can see the posts there saying ‘Universitet’.

Lili: Looks like it is our time to go.
Lee: I don’t see anyone coming along with us. Perhaps no more seats!
Lili: Let’s hope so.
The four teams in the airport gathered.

Stockholm Train Station:

Joshua: There’s our clue!
Mitch: Detour! Hand It To Me or Travel With Me!
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams must do tasks which show the wonders and activities of Poland. Their choice: Hand It To Me or Travel With Me.

In Hand It To Me, teams must play a mini game of handball, a sport commonly played in Poland. Instead of the official 7 players per team, there will only be 2 players and a goalie. Teams need to score 3 goals in order to receive their next clue. This task may be a lot of fun to play, especially with your friends. But for teams who are not used to this sport, there are no helping hands.

In Travel With Me, teams must navigate their way around the park perimeters. They are given the clue to their first destination and during the course they must find the places with their next clues waiting for them. Once they reach their final destination, the Temple of Diana, they will receive their next clue.


Joshua: Let’s do Travel With Me. We may not be travelers, but we are definitely not sporty.
Mitch: Travel it is, and...This is our first clue... “I am a palace dominated by an attika supported by columns. I feature statues of mythological creatures. I stand on an ‘island’ by the lake, hence my name. Your next clue can be found at the Bacchus room on the ground floor of me.”
Joshua: Let’s see which the most obvious clue is.
Mitch: I think this one. It stands on a so called island by the lake. Let’s go to the lake.
Joshua: Lake? Can anyone take us to the lake? Sir, do you know where the lake is?
Local: Um...I no speak English.
Mitch gestured waves.
Local: Erm...
Joshua: Leave it!
Mitch: Does anyone know where the lake is? Lake!
No one responded to Mitch’s question but some instead turn to look at him.
Mitch: This is embarrassing.
Joshua: Let us just search the park. It can’t be that hard.

Travel With Me:
Joshua: See...That must be the lake!
Mitch: Now let’s check the clue again...we don’t know what an attika is...we can search for statues of mythical creatures.
Joshua: Let’s go, then.
The two find their first destination, Palace on the Water.
Mitch: I think this is it. Let’s just check it out.
Joshua & Mitch entered the palace and search for the Bacchus room.
Joshua: Mitch, here it is.
Mitch: Good catch, Mr. Anderson!
Joshua: Clue number two: “One of my builders’ name is Adam. I used to shelter trees but now I host a restaurant. You can spot my 150-year-old palm tree. I am not the old one, I am the new one. You can find your next clue at the entrance.”
Mitch: Hm......Let’s go.
Joshua & Mitch asked the locals for the name Adam, or they gestured an old palm tree, but no one understood them.
Joshua: Alright, this is hard.
Mitch: Does anyone know what did Adam build? Adam (He gestured someone building something) what?
Local: Adam Loewe, the builder?
Mitch: Perhaps! Where? Can you lead us? (He gestured to ask if the local can lead them.)
Local: Okay.
Mitch: Thank you!
Joshua & Mitch arrived at the New Orangery.
Mitch: Thank you so much! Dziekuje bardzo or however you said it!
The local laughed a lot at Mitch as he left.
Joshua: Clue number three: “I am named for a village. I am a little palace built by King Stanisùaw. The first word of my name ends with ‘wicki’, the second word of my name is the first word of your first destination. You can find me by the sculpture of Flora.”
Mitch: I don’t know why this seems to be easier. :groan:

Ùazienki Park:
Bryanna: Detour! Hand It To Me or Travel With Me.
Keith: Let’s do Travel With Me. Handball might be harder than it seems.
Kristine: Dziækujæ!! Alright, let’s go!
Penelope: Hand It To Me or Travel With Me...
Kristine: Hm...Should we do handball?
Penelope: You decide.
Kristine: Okay, we’ll do Hand It To Me.

Travel With Me:
Keith: “I am a palace dominated by an attika supported by columns. I feature statues of mythological creatures. I stand on an ‘island’ by the lake, hence my name. Your next clue can be found at the Bacchus room on the ground floor of me.”
Bryanna: From the clue itself, we know it is by the lake. We’re sure there can only be one lake here.
Bryanna & Keith quickly found the lake, found the Palace on the Water, found its Bacchus room, and found their next clue.
Bryanna: This is like a scavenger hunt! “One of my builders’ name is Adam. I used to shelter trees but now I host a restaurant. You can spot my 150-year-old palm tree. I am not the old one, I am the new one. You can find your next clue at the entrance.”
Bryanna & Keith asked locals for their next destination. Meanwhile, Joshua & Mitch are trying to find their third destination, Myúlewicki Palace.
Mitch: The second word is Palace, I’m sure.
Joshua: How can you be sure?
Mitch: The first clue said so! ‘I am a palace’!
Joshua: Fine then. Wicki Palace! Can anyone take us to Wicki Palace!?
Mitch: Wosh-mosh-wicki Palace!
Local: Myúlewicki Palace...?
Joshua: Tak!
The local led Joshua & Mitch the way to the palace.
Joshua: Thank you.
Mitch: Now we need to find whatever this Flora statue is.
Meanwhile, Bryanna & Keith found the New Orangery.
Keith: Thanks, man!
Local (another person, he speaks English): You’re welcome.
Bryanna: Keith, maybe we should ask him for more directions.
Keith: Sir! Sir!
Local: Yes?
Keith: Could you spare some time helping us more?
Local: Sure! :tup:
Bryanna: Thank you, sweetie!
Keith: “I am named for a village. I am a little palace built by King Stanisùaw. The first word of my name ends with ‘wicki’, the second word of my name is the first word of your first destination. You can find me by the sculpture of Flora.”
Local: Wicki...Wicki...Myúlewicki Palace! Follow me!
Bryanna: Yay!
Bryanna (conf.): We found a man and he happened to speak English amongst all the Polish-speaking locals! We were very fortunate.

Hand It To Me:
Kristine: This must be the boys.
Penelope: We’re ready to learn handball!
Coach: Okay!
Penelope & Kristine started learning handball. Later, they decided to try to beat them.
Coach: Remember! Three goals! You need to pick a goalie!
Kristine: Let’s go for him!
Penelope: Why? He may be good-looking, but who knows how good he is?
Kristine: Let’s just hope my pick is good.
Coach: Okay...GO!!
Commentator: Opponent1 caught the ball and passed to Opponent2, who tried to score, with failure! Goalie1 passed the ball to Penelope, Kristine is distance away!
Kristine: Go sis!
Commentator: Kristine caught the ball and...Goalie2 blocked it!
Kristine: Crap!
Commentator: Opponent1 has the ball and passed to Opponent2...Penelope stole the ball, passed to Kristine, and scored!
Kristine: :wohoo:
Penelope: That was awesome!!
They continued playing, hoping for their second goal.

Travel With Me:
Mitch: Final clue: “Make your way to the Temple of Diana for your next clue!”
Joshua: Temple of Diana!? Can anyone lead us to Temple of Diana?
Local: Temple of Diana...?
The local led Joshua & Mitch to their final destination, Temple of Diana. At that point, Bryanna & Keith found Myúlewicki Palace and their next clue.
Keith: We caught up to the boys!
Bryanna: Temple of Diana, sir!
Local: I know where it is!

Ùazienki Park:
Martin: Detour! Hand It To Me or Travel With Me!
Mackenzie: Hm...We should probably do Travel With Me.

Hand It To Me:
At the second game, the opponent scored. Penelope & Kristine are now at their third game.
Kristine: We can do this.
Coach: GO! :jam:
Commentator: Penelope caught the ball and passed it to Kristine who...scored!
Penelope: :jumpy:
Kristine: :hearts: One more goal!

Travel With Me:
Joshua: There it is!
Mitch: Finally!
Joshua: Make your way by train to the first capital of Poland in the 10th and 11th centuries, Gniezno.
Phil: Teams must now travel by train to the city of Gniezno and find this cathedral with the reliquary of St. Wojciech for their next clue.


Joshua: We must take a train.
Mitch: We still need a taxi to a train station.
They stopped a taxi.
Mitch: Do you know if there is a train station here in Warsaw?
Taxi driver: There Warsaw Central Station.
Mitch: Can you take us there?
Taxi driver: Yes.
Keith: Make your way by train to the first capital of Poland in the 10th and 11th centuries, Gniezno. You must make your way to the Warsaw Central Rail Station first and get a ride to your next destination city. Once there, find the cathedral with the reliquary of St. Wojciech.
Bryanna: Look, it is Mackenzie.
Mackenzie: Oh, we’re just looking for this for the Detour.
Bryanna: Sir, do you think you can help them too? Just show them the places.
Local: Okay...
Bryanna: He speaks English. Just follow him and grab the clues.
Mackenzie: Thank you, Bryanna.
Bryanna: No problem!
Bryanna & Keith grabbed a taxi and headed off to the Warsaw Central Rail Station.

Hand It To Me:
Penelope & Kristine lost the next two matches, but scored the one after that.
Coach: Here is your next clue.
Kristine: Yay!
Penelope: Make your way by train to the first capital of Poland in the 10th and 11th centuries, Gniezno.
Kristine: You know, I had a feeling they are not professional handball players.
Penelope: Of course they’re not, or else we’d be stuck there forever!

Travel With Me:
The man led Martin & Mackenzie all the way until Temple of Diana.
Mackenzie: Thanks, dear, give me a kiss! :kuss:
Local: There’s no need for one...Bye then!
Martin: Make your way by train...
Mackenzie: Let’s go!

Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport:
Lili: Now we go to Ùazienki Park.
Lee: Taxi! Can you take us to Ùazienki Park?
Taxi driver: Of course!
Gabrielle: Come on, Holly!
Lili: Lee, look! Holly & Gabrielle!
Lee: How did they get here so fast?

On their way to Warsaw Central Rail Station:
Keith: Are you sure this is the right way?
Taxi driver: Huh? The mansion, yes...?
Keith: We said nothing about mansion. We said Warsaw Station, Warsaw Central Rail Station.
Taxi driver: Huh?
Keith: Choo-choo!! Train!
Taxi driver: Dworca! Oh!
Keith: Oh no, dear. I hope we’re not behind now.
Bryanna: At least he’s not cheating us.

Warsaw Central Rail Station:
Joshua: We’re here!
Mitch: Now we need to find the counter.
Joshua: Tickets! Where do we get tickets!? Anyone!?
Mitch: They don’t understand us at all!! We’re like, mental to them!
Joshua: You have got to be kidding me. Someone’s got to know English here.
Mitch: You know a bit of Polish, say something.
Joshua: I don’t know that much.
Mitch: Great. Tickets! Where do we get tickets?
Kristine: Thanks, sir!
Taxi driver: No problem.
Kristine: Now we need to find the person selling tickets.
One team finds the counter first.
Penelope: Excuse me we’d like two tickets to Gniezno.
Ticket seller: Sorry...I speak no English... :duno:
Penelope: The language barrier is really annoying.
Kristine: Two... (She held up two fingers.) Tickets to Gniezno...
Ticket seller: Gniezno? (She showed them the train system.)
Kristine: Oh, tak.
Martin: Let’s go to Gniezno.
Martin & Mackenzie found Penelope & Kristine.
Kristine: The best way is to get a ride to Poznan first, and then from there a train to Gniezno. Great!
Mackenzie: How much?
Kristine: We don’t know.
Penelope: You guys got here pretty fast. Where is Bryanna & Keith?
Mackenzie: We thought they’d be here by now.
The two teams managed to communicate their way to get the 10:00pm train to Poznan. Joshua & Mitch are then shown walking not even close to the counter.
Joshua: Where the hell are we?
Mitch: Tickets, does anyone know where we get tickets?
Joshua: You know what, people buy tickets, why not follow them?
Mitch: Oh! Duh! Why didn’t we think of that earlier?
Joshua: Mmhm.
The two follow where the majority of people are going. A couple of times they were led down to the trains. Finally, they found the ticket seller.
Joshua: It’s...it is just right there!
Mitch: Man, we’re getting dumber.
Joshua & Mitch got the same tickets at the first two teams.
Mackenzie: Guys, let us wait outside until like 9:50. So we can help Bryanna & Keith.
Martin: Great idea.
Kristine: Sorry, we’ll find a bench. Good luck.
Kristine (conf.): I think it is very, very evident the two old teams are helping each other and it’s really scary that they work too well when they’re together.
Penelope (conf.): Yeah. We just need one of them to get far behind and I think the two teams will suddenly drop in position.
Bryanna & Keith finally arrived at the Warsaw Central Rail Station.
Bryanna: Oh, hello.
Mackenzie: The ticket is there.
Mackenzie (conf.): We’re helping Bryanna & Keith all we can, and they are doing the same for us. Others call it alliance, I call it teamwork.
Bryanna & Keith got their tickets to Poznan.
Martin: If the other teams could make it here, we’re all probably bunched.
Keith: Has anyone seen Lili & Lee?
Martin: Oh yeah. We forgot about that.
Keith: They’re probably at the Pitstop now. :lol:
Keith (conf.): We thought at first Lili & Lee got so far ahead of us.

Ùazienki Park:
Lee: Detour! Hand It To Me or Travel With Me!
Lili: Hm...We’ll do Travel With Me!
Lee: Here’s our first clue. Let’s go! It is by the lake, obviously.
Gabrielle: Detour! Hand It To Me or Travel With Me!
Holly: Oh, this is easy! Hand It To Me!
Debra: Which one do you think we should do?
Lionel: I kinda want to try Hand It To Me but it might be hard.
Debra: This one might be hard too unless one of us knows Polish.
Lionel: Okay, we’ll do Hand It To Me.
Jenna: Which one should we do?
Kathryn: Travel With Me. It’s easier.

Travel With Me:
Lee: Does anyone know where the lake is? Lake!?
Lili: Screaming isn’t gonna get us far. We know it’s by the lake, so let’s find a lake.
Lee: Okay.

Hand It To Me:
Holly: Come on, let’s get this on.
Lionel: So we’re gonna practice first before it’s our turn on the Detour. The coach said if someone scored then another team gets to try.
Commentator: Gabrielle catches the ball and passes it to Holly, who passed to a running Gabrielle who...scored!
Gabrielle: Woo! That was easy!
Holly (whispering to Gabrielle): We’re obviously dealing with a bunch of amateurs. They don’t look pro enough.
Debra: Alright! Our turn!
Coach: GO!
Commentator: Debra catches the ball, passed to Lionel. Opponent1 attempts to steal the ball, but oh, Lionel faked his shots...he passed to Debra who attempted to score and...failed! Goalie2 passes it to Opponent2, who passed to Opponent1...Goalie1 saved the shot! Lionel has the ball...He’s running towards the goal and he scores!
Debra: Haha! Yay!

Ùazienki Park:
Alejandro: Detour!
Samantha: Hand It To Me or Travel With Me!
Bilius: We know what we should do. Travel With Me!
Jenneco: They’re doing the travel one so we’ll do the handball!

Travel With Me:
Lee: There it is!
Lili: So this is the Bacchus room?
Lee: Clue number two!
Lili: Okay, so the keywords are the name Adam, a palm tree, and a restaurant.
Lee: Do you practice acting?
Lili: No...

Hand It To Me:
Holly & Gabrielle quickly scored another shot.
Holly: Oh yeah!
Debra: They’re really quick.
Samantha: Our turn!
Debra: Oh yeah, I forgot, you’re also here.
Commentator: Opponent1 catches the ball and passes it to Opponent2, who passed it back to Opponent1 who...scored!
Jenneco: Oh, we actually suck a lot more than I thought.
Samantha: I, on the other hand, no pun intended, expected it.
Debra: Now it’s our turn.

Travel With Me:
Kathryn: This must be it.
Jenna: Let’s find our second clue.
Lili: Restaurant!? By Adam! (She gestured like she’s eating in a restaurant.)
Local: Hm...Orangery!?
Lili: No, not the Orangery! (To Lee) I think this local should’ve helped us back at Uppsala!
Local: I don’t know!!
Lili: Thanks then!

Hand It To Me:
Lionel & Debra scored their second shot. Holly & Gabrielle scored their third shot.
Holly: Congrats! :jam:
Gabrielle: Make your way to...Gniezno. Is that still in Poland?
Samantha: This is hard!!!
Jenneco (dropped the ball): Oops! Sorry!
Jenneco & Samantha lost again.
Debra: You can do it, guys!

Travel With Me:
Jenna: Here it is! The New Orangery!
Kathryn: Now... “I am named for a village. I am a little palace built by King Stanisùaw. The first word of my name ends with ‘wicki’, the second word of my name is the first word of your first destination. You can find me by the sculpture of Flora.”
Jenna: This is like a scavenger hunt in a language you don’t know about.
Shortly after, Lili & Lee arrived.
Lee: Look!
Lili: Girls, I think it is a good idea if we work together.
Jenna: Fine, we need all the help we can get. This Detour’s hard! We take it back when we said it was easy. Wait, how did you guys get far behind?
Lee: We don't know either.

Hand It To Me:
Lionel: Aya!
Commentator: Lionel scores!
Coach: Here’s your next clue!
Lionel: Thanks!
Debra: We’re heading to Gniezno now. TAXI!!
Samantha: This really sucks.
Holly & Gabrielle and Lionel & Debra found taxis to Warsaw Central Rail Station.

Travel With Me:
Bilius: Oh! Here it is! We’re dumb!
Alejandro: Is this park actually big? Doesn’t seem so?
Bilius: Now we need to find this restaurant. I don’t know.
Alejandro: We passed it once. I think I know where it is.
Kathryn: This is the palace, right? Where are the sculptures?
Lili: We should split up.
The four split up. One found their next clue.
Jenna: Guys, it’s here.
Lee: Oh, good.
Jenna: Temple of Diana, we need to go there, that’s our last destination.
Lili: Thank god for it!!
Bilius & Alejandro found the New Orangery.
Bilius: Now we need to find this thing called ‘wicki’.
Alejandro: This game can get weirder...

Hand It To Me:
Commentator: Jenneco passed to Samantha! Opponent1 attempts to steal but fails. Samantha scores!
Samantha: Finally!
Jenneco: Great job! (They high-five each other at the score.)
Samantha: Time for our second goal.

Warsaw Central Rail Station:
Holly & Gabrielle and Lionel & Debra are racing for tickets.
Mitch: It is almost 10pm, wow, what a night.
Joshua: Let’s hope no other team gets here.
Holly: FASTER!!
The counter worker had no idea what faster meant and so didn’t improve her speed.
Gabrielle: Does she know English! Wait, she doesn’t!
Lionel: Please, miss!
Debra: Quick! We really need to catch this 10pm train!
Counter worker: HERE!! B:)
Gabrielle: Let’s go, Holly!!
Martin: Yes! :yess: Let’s go!
Kristine: It looks like no one managed to get in!
Holly: WAIT!
Bryanna: Oh look! It’s Holly!
Keith: Aw...
Mitch: Wow, they are fast!
Gabrielle: Thank you, sir!
Holly: Phew!
The doors are closing...
Lionel: Hurry, Deb!
Debra: I’m trying!!
Lionel: It’s closing!!
Debra: No!!
Someone made the automatic doors open again.
Lionel: Phew!
Debra: Thank you, sir, for keeping the door open.
Man: Welcome. But next time, don’t be late!!
Debra: Thanks. Phew!
Lionel: That was close...
Debra: Yeah...
Penelope: Shoot, Lionel & Debra got in.
Kristine: They are so lucky, then.
Debra: Now sir, are you going to Gniezno?
Man: Why, yes.
Debra: Good, do you know where the cathedral is?

Travel With Me:
Kathryn: Make your way to...
Lili: The first capital of Poland in the 10th and 11th centuries, Gniezno.
Kathryn: You must make your way to the Warsaw Central Rail Station first and...
Lili: Get a ride to your next destination city.
Kathryn: Once there, find the cathedral...
Lili: With the reliquary of St. Wojciech.
Jenna: This really sucks right now.
Lili: I hope we’re not last.
Lili (conf.): At that point we thought that we got a later flight that put has behind a lot. We realized too late. :lol:
Lee: I’m sure Bilius & Alejandro wouldn’t do any of the Detours any better.
Bilius: This must be it, Wicki Palace.
Alejandro: Short and squat, simple as that.
Bilius: Now we need to find Temple of Diana. Thank god this will be over!
Alejandro: Temple of Diana...Hm...
They start asking for directions.

Hand It To Me:
Jenneco & Samantha managed to score their second goal, failed two more times and are trying again.
Jenneco: I’ll never play handball again. This is actually hard.
Coach: GO!!
Commentator: Samantha has the ball, passed it to Jenneco, who dropped it!!
Samantha: Jenn you idiot!
Jenneco: Just shut up, Sam!
Commentator: Jenneco passes it to Samantha, but oh, Opponent2 blocked his small shot.
Samantha: Jenn!?
Jenneco: Shut up! Can’t you see I am trying my best!
Samantha: Well if you are trying your best why don’t you block that guy!?
Jenneco: Because you wouldn’t shut up! :meow:
Commentator: Goalie1 blocked the shot! Jenneco now has the ball and is running towards the goal, passes it to Samantha, who attempts to score with a...failure!
Samantha: Oh great, just give us the freaking clue!
Commentator: Opponent1 has the ball, Jenneco attempts to steal but fails. Opponent1 shoots...he scores!
Jenneco: You have got to be kidding me.
Samantha: We’re really suckish players...
Jenneco: I know that is directly pointed at me.
Samantha: Stop whining, Jenn.
Jenneco: Me!? You’re saying I am the whining, and that you, complaining childishly isn’t whining? :meow:
Samantha: :meow: Just hold your tongue. I really thought you’d man it up, but it turned out in situations like this you don’t.

Travel With Me:
Alejandro: Thanks, miss.
Local: Yes.
Bilius: Make your way to...G-g-Gniezno.
Alejandro: These weird names are so dizzying.

Warsaw Central Rail Station:
Lee: Thank you. Now we need to find the person who sells the tickets.
Jenna: We’re gonna separate from here.
One team found the counter first.
Jenna: We’d like two tickets to Gniezno.
Counter worker (new one): You need to go to Poznan and then Gniezno.
Jenna: So we need two tickets?
Counter worker: I give ticket to Poznan and you take two to Gniezno at the Poznan place.
Jenna: Okay, thank you.
Lee: They found it first.
Lili: Oh, okay. We should make it on the same train, no doubt.
Lili & Lee got the same tickets leaving at 10:30pm.
A few minutes later, Bilius & Alejandro arrived and got their tickets.

Hand It To Me:
Jenneco & Samantha finally scored their final goal because of a fierce Samantha.
Samantha: Now that’s how you throw a ball!
Jenneco: Whatever.
Samantha: Hm...We need to find the train station. TAXI!!
Samantha (conf.): I had a feeling during the Detour that I was gonna lose my mind. It was really a hot night. The lights were burning me. It was irritating. I was very glad to get out of it.

Warsaw Central Rail Station:
Lili: It’s already 10:27pm. Hopefully no one can get here.
Jenna: Oh yes, hopefully.
Kathryn: Yeah.
Bilius: Look, Lililee and evil hairdressers are there.
Alejandro: Shall we say hi to them?
Bilius: I would if only the hairdressers weren’t there.
Alejandro: :lol: Okay.
Jenneco: Miss! We need tickets to Gniezno!
Jenneco kept talking to the counter worker for their tickets. They finally got it and ran for it to the train.
Samantha: Come on, Jenn! We may still make it!
Bilius: The doors are closing...
Kathryn: Close already, would you...
Jenna: I think Bilius & Alejandro and Jenneco & Samantha are missing.
The doors closed and the train left.
Jenneco: NO!
Samantha: Oh, crap! This is really bad.
Jenneco: We have to buy the 11pm tickets now!
Jenneco (conf.): This has been a really unlucky day for us, it really sucks.
Samantha: I am so depressed and mad right now.

Poznan Central Rail Station:
At 11:30pm, the first six teams arrived at Poznan.
Gabrielle: Come on, Gabrielle! If we hurry, we might be able to catch the earlier train!
Mackenzie: We can’t run so, we’re hoping no train is gonna leave us behind!
Holly & Gabrielle got to the counter first.
Holly: Excuse me; is there a train leaving for Gniezno?
Counter worker: Gniezno? Yes, you want 12am tickets?
Holly: 12am!? There are no 11:30pm or so?
Counter worker: 11:30pm one left.
Gabrielle: Great, just great.
Holly: It looks like we’re gonna have to stay here for 30 more minutes.
The six teams got their tickets.
Debra: You know if we can’t make the 11:30pm train, then the remaining teams can’t make the 12am train, that’s impossible.
Lionel: Yeah so hopefully we’re all still tied.
At 12am, the second train arrived and the first group of teams left for Gniezno.
Kathryn: Hurry, Jenna! With luck we may be able to catch up with them.
Lili: We’re walking, we know we won’t make it.
Bilius: Um...You all know why we’re not running.
Jenna: Miss, please, we need the train to Gniezno!!
Counter worker: I’m sorry, but I can’t stop the train. You can take the 12:30am.
Jenna: Ugh! Fine! It looks like we’ll have to wait.
Kathryn: Jenna...We’re running out of money. We have 38PLN now, there’s no telling how far Gniezno Cathedral is. I am thinking we need to beg.
Kathryn (conf.): Unfortunately Polish Zloty is kind of expensive. Swedish Kronas are a lot cheaper. We were forced to beg for more money again. We were used to it so it wasn’t hard earning 25PLN.
At 12:30am the second group of teams depart and Jenneco & Samantha arrived at Poznan, they ran to the counter, hopefully to catch the train about to leave.
Jenneco: PLEASE!!
Samantha: Proszæ!
Counter worker: I’m sorry.
Jenneco: Aw...
Samantha: Now we’re even more behind.
At 1am, Jenneco & Samantha boarded the last train to Gniezno.

Gniezno Central Rail Station:
Debra: Come on, baby!
Lionel: TAXI!!
Debra: Gniezno Cathedral? Great!
Holly: Shoot, they got a taxi first.
Gabrielle: Taxi!! Take us to Gniezno Cathedral, please.
Mitch: Taxi!! Gniezno Cathedral, please! Thank you.
Joshua: Alright, let’s go.
Mackenzie: Bryanna, Keith! We got a taxi! We can share!
Bryanna: Okay!
Kristine: Crap, they got all the taxis.
Penelope: TAXI!! TAXI!!
Kristine: Why are there no more taxis?
Penelope: We can’t stop here, Kristine.
Kristine: Yeah, okay.
Penelope: Taxi!
Kristine: There I see one! Taxi! (The taxi passed them.) Oh, hey!
Penelope & Kristine continued seeing taxis passing them.
Kristine: What is their problem?
Penelope: I will flag one taxi down now. (She knocked the window of a passing taxi, which stopped.)
Taxi driver: Taxi stop’s there!
Penelope: Can’t you just take us?
Taxi driver: Okay.
Kristine: Thank you.
Penelope: Gniezno Cathedral? (She gestured a church shaped thing and a pastor.)
Taxi driver: Hm...Okay.
Kristine: Dziækujæ, dziækujæ.
Penelope: It took us like 20 minutes to get a taxi.
At 2am, the second group of teams arrived.
Kathryn: TAXI!!
Alejandro: Taxi!
Lee: Cathedral? St. Wojciech Reliquary...?
Taxi driver (to Lee): I know St. Wojciech Reliquary.

Gniezno Cathedral:
Debra: Okay! Now we need to keep it shut.
Lionel: There is our clue...
Debra: Awesome. Make your way to the next Pitstop. Oh my god.
Phil: This hotel located in the city of Gniezno is the next Pitstop of the race.


Debra: Oh my god, honey, let’s go.
Holly: There they are.
Gabrielle: Pitstop, Hotel Gewert, let’s go.
Joshua: Where’s the cathedral?
Mitch: Obviously it’s the big one there!
Joshua: Oh okay.
Lionel: Taxi driver, do you know Hotel Gewert?
Taxi driver: Hotel Gewert? Yes.
Debra: Yay!
Holly: Sir, Hotel Gewert! Fast! Rapido!
Gabrielle: We better win.

Hotel Gewert-Pitstop:
The first three teams were being taken to Hotel Gewert, one team makes it there first.
Lionel: Thank you sir.
Debra: Thanks is done now let’s go!
Debra (conf.): I was so excited that we might have won our first leg.
Debra: I SEE PHIL!
Lionel: You’re too excited, Debra! (They jump onto the mat.)

[realshowfan]

Greeter: Dzien dobry! Welcome to Gniezno, Poland!!
Debra: Thank you SO much!
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number 1!!
Debra: :jumpy: :hearts: We did it!!
Lionel: :yess:
Phil: However...
Debra: Oh god this can’t be good. :groan:
Phil: This leg of the race is not over!! Here’s your next clue!
Debra: This is bull crap.
Lionel: You have got to be kidding me.

Episode 4: If We're Last Because Of Him I'll Sue Him!

Phil: Previously on RealShowFan’s the Amazing Race...Teams stopped self-driving and head to Uppsala, Sweden.
Kristine: Make your way by train to Uppsala!
Bryanna: Uppsala! Where’s that? Is that in Sweden?
Phil: The strength of the two oldest teams’ relationship gets stronger and becomes useful to them.
Keith: Do you think we can share a taxi and split the fare?
Martin: Of course! Anything to save money!
Martin (conf.): Our friendship with Bryanna & Keith is getting stronger leg by leg.
Phil: Then teams fly to Warsaw, Poland.
Penelope: Fly, oh no, flying again.
Lili: Fly to Warsaw, Poland.
Lee: YES!!
Phil: At the airport, Lili & Lee made a costly flight mistake, which put them in the flight arriving last.
Lili: I see an Internet café there.
Lee: Okay.........Now...From Stockholm-Arlanda to Frederic Chopin Airport...There...Sort by departure time...Finnair Airlines...Departs 3:55pm and arrives 9:05pm.
Lili: Okay, Finnair it is.
Phil: Teams faced a very difficult Detour.
Joshua: Lake? Can anyone take us to the lake? Sir, do you know where the lake is?
Local: Um...I no speak English.
Mitch gestured waves.
Local: Erm...
Joshua: Leave it!
Commentator: Samantha has the ball, passed it to Jenneco, who dropped it!!
Samantha: Jenn you idiot!
Jenneco: Just shut up, Sam!
Alejandro: These weird names are so dizzying.
Phil: In the end, Lionel & Debra arrived at the ‘Pitstop’ first.
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number 1!!
Debra: :jumpy: :hearts: We did it!!
Phil: Their prize...
Phil: However...
Phil: Their next clue.
Phil: This leg of the race is not over!! Here’s your next clue!
Debra: This is bull crap.
Phil: Ten teams still remain, who will be eliminated next?

Debra: You have got to be kidding me.
Debra (conf.): I wasn’t happy with the Double Length Leg. It was unbelievable. It looks like someone’s avoiding us to win a leg.
Debra: You’ve worked hard for this half of the leg. Now’s time for some rest. Enter the hotel and choose one out of three departure times for the charter buses taking you to your next ‘secret’ location.
Phil: Teams must now enter the hotel to sign up for one of three charter buses. The first bus leaves when three teams arrive there. The second bus leaves when the next four teams arrive there. The third and final bus leaves when the three remaining teams arrive there. The buses will take the teams to Abbazia di Santa Giustina, in Padova, Italy.

Phil: It is here at Abbazia di Santa Giustina, a religious and historical site, where they’ll find their next clue.

Debra: You don’t think you’d be staying in a hotel, did you? Oh, give me a break!
Lionel: Bleh, first we’re continuing the leg, and now we’re not resting in a hotel yet when there’s one just right here!
Debra: You have an additional $200 for this leg. Wow, what a change of heart.
Lionel & Debra signed up for the first charter bus and waited at the bus.

Gniezno Cathedral:
Keith: Make your way to the next Pitstop. Yay...
Mackenzie: Hotel Gewert, let’s go.

Hotel Gewert-Fake Pitstop:
Gabrielle: One, two, three! Yay! :jumpy:
Phil: Holly & Gabrielle, you, are team number 2!
Holly: Yay, we bounced back up!
Phil: However, this leg is not over! Here’s your next clue!
Gabrielle: Oh, gosh...
Holly & Gabrielle signed up the first charter bus as well.
Lionel: Right, so one more team and we’re out of here.

On their way to Hotel Gewert:
Joshua: Are you almost there?
Taxi driver: Yeah, yeah, I take you there.
Mitch: What an obvious fake excuse. If we’re last because of him I’ll sue him!

Hotel Gewert-Fake Pitstop:
‘Run!’
‘We can’t run.’
‘Come on, honey, let’s beat them.’
The team that arrived second checked-in at Pitstop first.
Phil: Bryanna & Keith, you, are team number 3.
Keith: Phew.
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie, you, are team number 4.
Martin: It’s okay.
Phil: However, keep racing! Here are your clues!
Bryanna: What!?
Mackenzie: Aw...And I thought we’d be resting right now.
Keith: Hm...We need to sign up on a charter bus.
The two teams arrive at the sign up board.
Mackenzie: Oh no. Only one spot at charter bus one.
Bryanna: Who’ll take it? We don’t want to separate with you two.
Martin: I’d rather go to the second bus too!
Keith: Let’s do it.
The two signed up for the second charter bus.
Mackenzie (conf.): I think we’ve proved our trust to Bryanna & Keith and they’ve done the same to us. It’s better than betraying them. ;D
Debra: Oh my god! And when I thought we’d leave right about now!
Lionel: Those two teams are really tight.
Lionel (conf.): I find this glue sticking the two old teams ridiculous. Someone needs to separate them. No offense, elderly.
Two minutes later another team arrived.
Phil: Joshua & Mitch, you, are team number 5.
Mitch: Again! Cool.
Phil: However...
Joshua: Penalty!?
Phil: No, the leg continues! Here’s your next clue!
Joshua: Oh crap!!
Joshua & Mitch took the final spot of the first charter bus.
Lionel: Finally, guys!
Gabrielle: Yay, we’re leaving!
Joshua: I just wonder how long will this journey be...
Joshua (conf.): I didn’t expect a journey to be 13 hours long. :lol: I didn’t even know at the time we’re leaving the country!

Gniezno Central Rail Station:
Jenneco: TAXI!!
Samantha: I definitely don’t see anyone.
Jenneco & Samantha found a taxi.

Gniezno Cathedral:
Kristine: Lililee are there. Cool, then they must’ve got a later flight. Now let’s hurry.
Lee: Look! We caught up! Finally!
Penelope: Pitstop, Hotel Gewert.
Lili: Let’s hurry.

Hotel Gewert-Fake Pitstop:
Phil: Penelope & Kristine, you, are team number 6.
Kristine: Phew...
Phil: Lili & Lee are team number 7.
Lili: We’re okay with it.
Phil: However, this leg is not over, it continues! Here are your clues!
Kristine: Ugh, what next?
Lee: At least we’ll have time to catch up.
The two teams signed up for the second charter bus and they left.
Lili: So we’re here with Penelope & Kristine, Bryanna & Keith, and Martin & Mackenzie, the top four of leg 2.
Kristine: :lol: The first three teams took our places, then.
Kristine (conf.): It felt really weird us four teams departed in the same bus.

Gniezno Cathedral:
Kathryn: Pitstop!
Jenna: Shh...
Kathryn: Sorry...
Alejandro: Hotel Gewert...
Bilius: Let’s go.

Hotel Gewert-Fake Pitstop:
Phil: Jenna & Kathryn...
Jenna: Uh huh?
Phil: You’re team number 8!
Jenna: Same place, yay.
Phil: However, keep racing!
Jenna: Oh my. Thanks Phil.
Jenna & Kathryn were the first to sign up the final charter bus.
Jenna: This really stinks right now. We hope we can catch up, we’re always racing for last.
A few minutes later, another team arrives.
Phil: You are team number 9!
Bilius: WOAH!! That was close!
Alejandro: We’re still here, mate!
Phil: However, the leg continues!
Bilius: Oh no. You have got to be kidding.
Alejandro: Phil never jokes around.
Bilius: We’re at the last charter bus, for sure.

Gniezno Cathedral:
Samantha: Make your way to the next Pitstop.
Jenneco: Aw...

Hotel Gewert-Fake Pitstop:
Samantha: We’re here, Phil. Sorry for being late.
Phil: Jenneco & Samantha, you are the last team to arrive.
Samantha: We figured.
Jenneco (to himself): At least I don’t have to play handball ever again.
Phil: I’m sorry to say...
Samantha:
Jenneco: :res: I ain’t watching the show again.
Phil: That this leg of the race is not over. Here is your next clue!
Samantha: Oh my god thank you.
Jenneco: You’re kidding me. I’m very worn out.
The last team boarded the last bus.
Jenna: Yay! We’re going!
Samantha: We hope we’ll catch up.
Jenneco: Or you do.
Samantha: You are hopeless.

Phil: All teams are now on charter buses to Padova, Italy which arrives around 14 hours later. Lionel & Debra, Holly & Gabrielle, and Joshua & Mitch are on the first charter bus which departed at 2:30am. Bryanna & Keith, Martin & Mackenzie, Penelope & Kristine, and Lili & Lee are on the second charter bus which departed at 2:48am. Jenna & Kathryn, Bilius & Alejandro, and Jenneco & Samantha are on the last charter bus which departed at 3:17am.

Abbazia di Santa Giustina:
The first charter bus arrived.
Lionel: That was a long ride.
Debra: Yeah, it is! Now I’m curious as to where we are!
Holly: Clue box!? Does anyone see a clue box!
Debra: Oh yeah, clue.
Mitch: Let’s go, Mr. Anderson.
One team found their clue first.
Joshua: Here it is!
Lionel: There it is!
Holly: Gabrielle, it is right over there at the church or something!
Joshua: Welcome to Padova, Italy!
Debra: ITALY!?
Holly: Wow... Make your way on foot to Prato della Valle and search among a few clue boxes for the right one with your clue in it.
Phil: Teams must now go to Prato della Valle and find the right clue box with their clue in it.


Mitch: We’re in Italy! This just keeps getting better! TAXI!!
Joshua: We weren’t even prepared to learning Italian.
Mitch: Let’s just go.
Joshua: Okay. (They boarded the taxi.)
Mitch: Prato della Valle?
Taxi driver: It’s there. (The driver pointed to the buildings.)
Joshua: It’s that near!?
Mitch: Can I see the clue?
While they were looking for the clue, the two others teams asked directions to Prato della Valle.
Local1: It’s there, very near.
Lionel: There? Okay, thank you!
Debra: Ciao!
Holly: Okay, it’s there, that woman said.
Gabrielle: I just don’t see it.
Joshua: Mitch you idiot we have to go there on foot.
Mitch: Oh, poo. Thanks sir!
Taxi driver: 5 Lire!
Mitch: Are you kidding me!
Taxi driver: No!
Joshua: Just give him and not waste trouble.
Mitch: Fine...

Prato della Valle:
Lionel: There’s our clue.
Debra: It might be a fake, though.
Lionel: Yep, it says ‘Try Again’.
Holly: Gabrielle, let’s keep an eye on them and not go to clue boxes they’ve checked.
Gabrielle: Roger that.
Debra: This isn’t it.
Lionel: Wrong one.
Holly: Wrong...
Gabrielle: Not this.
Debra (whispering): Lionel, here it is.
Lionel: Wait...YES...
Holly: I think they found it, Lionel has it.
Gabrielle: Oh yeah!
At that point, Joshua & Mitch arrived.
Debra: Make your way on foot to Righetto Coffee Shop.
Phil: Teams must now walk to this coffee shop where they’ll find their next clue.


Debra: Let’s go.
Joshua: They found it already.
Holly: Try Again!? They tricked us!
Gabrielle: It has to be somewhere near here then...Wrong...Yes, this is it.
Mitch: There!
Holly: You should’ve kept quiet but oh well.
Joshua: Righetto Coffee Shop on foot!
Mitch: Let’s go!

Righetto Coffee Shop:
Lionel: Does anyone know where Righetto Coffee Shop is? Righetto!?
Local: Righetto Coffee Shop there.
Lionel: That one there? Thanks!
They found their next clue.
Lionel: Detour! Help Yourself or Do-It-Yourself!
Phil: In this Detour, teams will have to complete tasks that have to do with Italy’s favorite drink, espresso. The choice: Help Yourself or Do-It-Yourself.

In Help Yourself, teams must wait for a jug of espresso. Once their drink is ready, they’ll help themselves. They must empty the jug by drinking the cold espresso. Once done, they’ll receive their next clue. There’s nothing unpleasant about this task, but their fate of the race relies on how fast they drink and how much they can help themselves.

In Do-It-Yourself, teams will be given a small guide for making espresso. Once they think they can make the drink, they can. They must serve a cup of espresso to a table of a waiting customer. If they are satisfied, they will receive their next clue. If not, teams will have to keep doing it until the customers think they are espresso-worthy. Teams may find it hard keeping the customers content with their effort, but teams with experience in making coffee might find themselves soaring through the leg.

Lionel: Let’s do Do-It-Yourself.
Debra: If you know how to make an espresso then let’s do it.
They entered the shop.
Mitch: Detour! Which one?
Joshua: Let’s do Help Yourself!
Mitch: Yeah, it seems much more relaxing.
Lionel: Okay...So...This is the instructions...
Debra: I’ll leave you to this...You are totally in your zone...
Joshua: Okay, bring in the jug!
They waited for a few minutes, but it’s still in preparation.

Abbazia di Santa Giustina:
The second charter bus arrived.
Lili: Now, where are we?
Kristine: This is weird...Where did it take us?
Mackenzie: More importantly, where is the clue?
One team found the clue unnoticed.
Lili: Make your way to Prato della Valle...We need to go on foot.
Lee: Okay.
Lili: Oh my god, we’re in Italy.
Lee: I know, it’s really strange yet cool.
They start asking for directions quietly.
Penelope: Where could it be?
Kristine: There!
Keith: They found it.
Martin: It’s there.
The three teams also asked for directions.

On their way to Righetto Coffee Shop:
Holly: Gabrielle, I really think we should go back.
Gabrielle: The woman said it’s here.
Holly: Let’s keep asking, then.
Gabrielle: No, let’s check there first.
Holly: I really have a bad feeling.

Prato della Valle:
Lee: There it is...Try Again. Crap. Let’s keep searching.
They kept searching, Lili eventually found it.
Lili: Here it is! Make your way on foot to Righetto Coffee Shop!
Lee: Let’s go! Righetto Coffee Shop! Does anyone know where it is?
Penelope: They just left. Come on, sis.
Kristine: I’m right behind you.
Bryanna: We can do this, Keith.
Mackenzie: I wonder which one would be the right one.
Eventually one of them found it and the other two teams followed them.
Penelope: Seriously, Kristine, keep it down.
Kristine: I’m sorry. What does it say?
Penelope: Righetto Coffee Shop.

Righetto Coffee Shop:
Joshua & Mitch received their jug a while ago and began drinking.
Mitch: This is really delicious.
Joshua: But I wonder how much we can drink. I’m already full!
Debra: Are you done?
Lionel: I’ll give it a go. Here, you serve.
Debra: Sure......Espresso!! You must be the customer.
Customer: Thank you.........
Debra: How was it?
Customer: PERFECT!! Here’s your next clue!
Debra: :jumpy: Lionel!
Joshua: Shoot, they’re fast.
Lionel: How was it?
Debra: She loved it SO much!
Lionel: Yay! ;D
Debra: Make your way on foot to the Tomb of Antenor, where your next clue awaits.
Phil: Teams must now walk to this tomb, the Tomb of Antenor. It is here where teams find their next clue.


Debra: Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Phil: This is the first U-Turn of the race. If a team is U-Turned, they must go back to the other Detour site and complete that task before moving on.


Debra: Let’s go!
Lionel: Lili & Lee have just arrived.
Lee: Anyone in there?
Debra: Yes.
Lionel: Where did Holly & Gabrielle go?
Debra: Dunno. But no need to worry that!

On their way to Righetto Coffee Shop:
Holly: Gabrielle!? We aren’t gonna get there at this rate! Let’s ask for directions!
Gabrielle: Okay then!
Holly: Righetto Coffee Shop!? Anyone!?
Local: Righetto Coffee Shop? Mm...There!
Holly: Doh, it’s back there! Thank you sir! Ciao!
Gabrielle: Okay, fine, you’re right!!
Holly: Righetto Coffee Shop reminds me a lot of Dahlens Coffee Shop...

Righetto Coffee Shop:
Lili: Which one do you want to do?
Lee: Let’s do Help Yourself, it seems easier.
Mitch: We’re almost done, Mr. Anderson...
Joshua: Oh god...You drink the rest, I’m too full...
Mitch: From drinking? Okay...
A few minutes later, another team arrived.
Kristine: Thank you, sir!
Penelope: Help Yourself or Do-It-Yourself!
Kristine: Hm...I don’t know. You decide.
Penelope: Let’s just do Help Yourself.
Mitch: I’m done! Waitress!
Waitress: Here is your next clue.
Mitch: Thank you! Let’s go!
Joshua: Make your way on foot to the Tomb of Antenor. Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Mitch: Wow, let’s go...Should we use it?
Joshua: I don’t know. I am thinking of using it.
Bryanna & Keith, Martin & Mackenzie, and Holly & Gabrielle arrived at Righetto Coffee Shop.
Joshua (whispering): I’d use it on one of them.
Joshua (conf.): I was thinking of U-Turning the old teams or volleyball players. Holly & Gabrielle because they are huge threats and the old teams because they are always together that it is annoying.

Holly: See!
Gabrielle: I know, I know!
Bryanna: Help Yourself or Do-It-Yourself. Let’s do Do-It-Yourself! We know how to make coffee!
Keith: Okay!
Martin: Help Yourself!
Mackenzie: I was thinking the same thing!
Holly: Oh, we’re doing Help Yourself! I will not have a Dahlens Coffee Shop repeat!
Gabrielle: I agree with you totally!

Tomb of Antenor:
Lionel: Is this it, sir?
Local: Si!
Debra: Ciao!
Local: Ciao!
Lionel: We chose to U-Turn...
Debra: Nobody! We still have the lead!! :jumpy:
Lionel: Make your way to the next Pitstop! Locate where this picture is and you’ll see Phil.
Phil: Teams must make their way to their next Pitstop --- San Canziano Church. The picture depicted is the picture inside the church. This church, called Santa Rita by the locals is the third real Pitstop of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.


Debra: :hearts: Yes, babe! Let’s go!! Show it to the people if they know!
Lionel: Okay...Does anyone know where this is? Ciao!? This!
Local: Hm...That is there.
Lionel: Really!? Thanks!!
Debra: Thanks, sir! :kuss: And don’t worry, Lionel, I won’t do that again. :lol: Now let’s go!!!
Lionel: You better...

San Canziano Church-Pitstop:
‘I see, Phil!’
‘Keep it down, this is a church.’
‘Oh yeah...’ They step on the mat.

Greeter: Ciao! Welcome to Padova, Italy!
Lionel: Thank you!
Debra: Yes, we love this place. We only have to walk to visit so many cool places.
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number 1!
Debra: :hearts: I love you!
Lionel: We still did it! A Double Length Leg won’t do it!!
Phil: Now as winners of this leg you have won a motorcycle each!
Debra: Yay! :jumpy: For my brother!
Lionel: And for myself! :lol:

Righetto Coffee Shop:
One team finishes the Detour first.
Kristine: We’re done!
Penelope: :yess:
Lee: They’re fast.
Kristine: Thank you.
Penelope: Make your way on foot to the Tomb of Antenor. Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Kristine: Crap! But I don’t think the two teams would want to do that to us.
A few minutes later, another team completes the Detour.
Lili: Waitress, we’re done!
Waitress: Good job! Here’s your next clue.
Lee: I feel like throwing up.
Lili: Don’t throw up on me!! Make your way on foot to the Tomb of Antenor. Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Lee: Now I feel like throwing up. Who should we U-Turn? Should we U-Turn?
Lili: Let’s see, but I’m aiming for no one.

Tomb of Antenor:
Mitch: There’s our clue, so that means that is the Tomb of Antenor.
Joshua: Very...Awesome...Let’s go to the U-Turn!
Mitch: We’ve decided to U-Turn a team!! (They posted a picture of a team and their own at the ‘Courtesy Of’ box.)


Joshua: We’re very sorry, Mr. Martin and Mrs. Mackenzie. But you and the other elder team are strong as steel and tough as titanium.
Mitch: But it’s all business, nothing personal. Make your way on foot to the next Pitstop! We have this picture as a reference.
Joshua: Well then, I guess we’re gonna have to keep asking people... :groan:
Kristine: There’s Joshua & Mitch, which means we caught up.
Penelope: Perfect, and they just U-Turned a team.
Kristine: At least it’s not us...Pitstop, with this photo.

Abbazia di Santa Giustina:
The final three teams arrived and searched for their clues.
Bilius: There it is...
Kathryn: :res: Like they think they can sneak through us. :res:
Samantha: There it is!
Bilius: Prato della Valle!
Kathryn: We have to walk there.
Samantha: Can anyone take us to Prato della Valle?

San Canziano Church-Pitstop:
‘Thank you.’
‘Oh god, you can’t possibly let us run in the church.’
‘They won’t outrun us...We’re here, yay.’ They step on the mat, along with the team behind them.
Greeter: Ciao! Welcome to Padova, Italy.
Joshua: Thank you.
Kristine: I’m so excited.
Phil: Joshua & Mitch, you, are team number 2.
Joshua: Yayyy. We’re back on track.
Phil: Penelope & Kristine are team number 3.
Kristine: That’s awesome.

Righetto Coffee Shop:
The three teams completed the Detour.
Gabrielle: Thank you, I’m full.
Mackenzie: That was delicious.
Keith: Thank you.
Holly: Make your way on foot to the Tomb of Antenor.
Mackenzie: Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Bryanna: Oh my! U-Turn!

Tomb of Antenor:
Lili: Martin & Mackenzie got U-Turned.
Lee: Poor but it’s a game.
Lili: Pitstop! We need to find the place depicted on this picture!
Lee: Okay...
Lili: Does anyone know where this is?
Local: San Canziano Church! (She pointed to the church.)
Lili: Gracias!!
Lee: They don’t speak Spanish here...

Prato della Valle:
The three teams began searching the place for the right clue box, one team founds it first.
Bilius: There...Make your way on foot to Righetto Coffee Shop.
Kathryn: If you guys think you can sneak us then think again!
Bilius: You are good. :res:
Samantha: Jenn, it’s there, they find it...JENN!!
Jenneco: Okay, okay! I just wanted to make sure!

San Canziano Church:
Phil: Lili & Lee, you, are team number 4.
Lili: :yess: We kept our above half positions.
Lee: Great job.

Righetto Coffee Shop:
Bilius: Finally, the two teams are gone.
Alejandro: Detour! Help Yourself or Do-It-Yourself!
Bilius: I say Help Yourself!
Jenna: Detour, I told you I saw them. Help Yourself or Do-It-Yourself...
Kathryn: Let’s do Help Yourself.
Jenna: Alright, we’re drinking.

Tomb of Antenor:
Holly: There it is!
Gabrielle: It looks like somebody got U-Turned, and we’re very fine with that.
Holly: Make your way to the next Pitstop!
Gabrielle: Ooh...But we definitely lost our second place.
A few minutes later, two teams arrived.
Martin: There it is guys.
Bryanna: Great teamwork again. ;D
Mackenzie: Oh, fudge biscuits cucumber sauce! We got U-Turned!
Bryanna: Oh my, I’m so sorry.
Martin: It looks like we’re heading back...
Bryanna: I wish we could help you.
Martin: No need to help us, you’ve helped us enough.
Martin (conf.): We don’t want Bryanna & Keith to be eliminated because of us. That would be unfair.
Mackenzie: At least we know the way back.
Martin & Mackenzie headed back to Righetto Coffee Shop.

San Canziano Church-Pitstop:
Phil: Holly & Gabrielle, you, are team number 5.
Holly: YES!!
Gabrielle: At least we’re still in this game. But really, we want that first place back!
Phil: Do you think you’ll get it anytime soon?
Gabrielle: Hopefully, I think we need to get more flirting going.

Righetto Coffee Shop:
Jenneco: Detour! Help Yourself or Do-It-Yourself!
Samantha: Let’s do the drinking.
The three teams drank their jug full of espresso.
Jenna: This...is...hard...
Bilius: This is the best Detour yet!
Martin & Mackenzie arrived.
Mackenzie: We’re heading to the Do-It-Yourself Detour.
Samantha: Oh my god, Jenn, they aren’t done. Let’s drink faster!
Alejandro: Did you see that? The old team just got here. And we’re done!
Waitress: Congratulations.
Bilius: Now we walk to Tomb of Antenor.
Mackenzie: There’s only one customer to serve, dear. We must get this right.
Martin starts working on his espresso.

San Canziano Church-Pitstop:
Phil: Bryanna & Keith, you, are team number 6.
Bryanna: Hm...I’m feeling so bad.
Phil: Why?
Bryanna: Martin & Mackey got U-Turned and I wanted to help them but...yeah.
Phil: Do you think it was a warning for you guys since you two teams always arrive at the same time?
Bryanna: Maybe, I just want to spank the U-Turners now.

Righetto Coffee Shop:
The three teams completed the Detour at almost the same time.
Jenneco: Thank you...BURP!!
Mackenzie: Yay! :jumpy:
Jenna: Thank god we’re done...

Tomb of Antenor:
Bilius: Oh, so that’s why we saw them! They got U-Turned!
Alejandro: Kudos to the toothbrush men!
Bilius: Pitstop!
They started asking for the picture origin.

San Canziano Church-Pitstop:
‘It’s here, Phil’s here, the woman was right, not the man.’
‘I hope we didn’t lose a lot of time.’
Greeter: Ciao! Welcome to Padova, Italy.
Bilius: Thank you.
Phil: Bilius & Alejandro, you, are team number 7.
Alejandro: I hate to break it to you, but it’s our best placing. :lol:

Tomb of Antenor:
Martin: I hope we caught up.
Samantha: Pitstop! Crap!
Mackenzie: This is a desperate situation!
Jenna: Make your way on foot to the next Pitstop!
The three teams started asking for directions.

San Canziano Church-Pitstop:
The three teams arrived at the church, all racing to the mat.
Mackenzie: This is all making me sad!
Samantha: Come on, Jenn, we can still make it!
Jenneco: Hoorah!
Kathryn: I’m not gonna be last in a footrace again! We’re sorry, guys!
Martin:
Mackenzie:
Samantha: Phew.
Phil (sighing with excitement, sadness, and shock): Jenneco & Samantha, you, are team number 8.
Samantha: Phew...we’re sorry guys.
Mackenzie: No, it is okay...
Phil: Jenna & Kathryn, you, are team number 9.
Jenna: Mmhm.
Kathryn: Sorry guys, but we don’t want history to repeat on us, I hope you understand.
Mackenzie: Yes... it is okay...
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie...In a sad footrace, Martin & Mackenzie, you, are the tenth and last team to arrive.
Martin: Ha...We’ve had fun.
Phil: Unfortunately for them you are not eliminated!
Mackenzie: Oh my god, I’m gonna faint.
Phil: This is a predetermined Non-Elimination Leg!
Mackenzie: THANK YOU!
Samantha: Wow, awesome, guys! Glad you’re still here.
Kathryn: Thank god history repeats that part!
Kathryn (conf.): I was actually glad Martin & Mackenzie were spared elimination. I didn’t want anyone else to suffer the same footrace we did. ;D
Phil: But now, you are Marked for Elimination. Which means on the next leg of the race you must check-in first or else you’ll incur a 30-minute, which may put you in last and ultimately eliminate you.
Martin: We’re just so happy we’re still in this game!
Mackenzie (conf.): I was crying for death thinking that this was my last leg in the race, but it was not!
Martin (conf.): We will work hard next leg. We have to work hard if we don’t want to be eliminated.

*End of Episode 4: If We're Last Because Of Him I'll Sue Him! - Mitch*

[realshowfan]

Episode 5: I Beat You! I Beat You!

Phil: Previously on RealShowFan's the Amazing Race...Teams continue leg 3 of the
race.
Debra: Enter the hotel and choose one out of three departure times for the
charter buses taking you to your next 'secret' location. You have an additional
$200 for this leg.
Phil: At the sign-up, teams Bryanna & Keith and Martin & Mackenzie were greeted
with a dilemma.
Mackenzie: Oh no. Only one spot at charter bus one.
Bryanna: We don't want to separate with you two.
Martin: I'd rather go to the second bus too!
Keith: Let's do it.
Phil: Teams are taken by buses to another country, Italy!
Lionel: That was a long ride.
Joshua: Welcome to Padova, Italy!
Debra: ITALY!?
Holly: Wow...
Phil: Teams encountered an espresso-related Detour.
Mitch: Detour! Which one?
Joshua: Let's do Help Yourself!
Mitch: Yeah, it seems much more relaxing.
Phil: Teams encountered the first U-Turn of the race.
Joshua: Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Mitch: Should we use it?
Joshua: I am thinking of using it.
Phil: The businessmen showed the teams who's boss.
Joshua: We're very sorry, Mr. Martin and Mrs. Mackenzie. But you and the other
elder team are strong as steel and tough as titanium.
Mitch: But it's all business, nothing personal.
Phil: The U-Turn put the elder teams in another dilemma.
Mackenzie: Oh, fudge biscuits cucumber sauce! We got U-Turned!
Bryanna: Oh my, I'm so sorry.
Martin: It looks like we're heading back...
Bryanna: I wish we could help you.
Martin: No need to help us, you've helped us enough.
Martin (conf.): We don't want Bryanna & Keith to be eliminated because of us.
Phil: In the end, recently dating couple Lionel & Debra proved a Double Length Leg
won't be enough to prevent them from gettng a first place finish.
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number 1!
Debra: :hearts: I love you!
Phil: And the U-Turn proved to be effective as it sent Martin & Mackenzie in
another footrace, and this time they didn't check-in the fastest, were last, but
weren't eliminated.
Phil: But now, you are Marked for Elimination. Which means on the next leg of the
race you must check-in first or else you'll incur a 30-minute, which may put you in
last and ultimately eliminate you.
Martin: We're just so happy we're still in this game!
Phil: Ten teams STILL remain! Who'll be eliminated next?

Phil: This is Padova, Italy, or Padua in English. It is a North Eastern city of the
country. And in the heart of the city, San Canziano Church. This church, called
Santa Rita church by the locals, is the third Pitstop in a race around the world.
Teams arrived here at the end of last leg for a mandatory rest period. Will Lionel &
Debra keep their first place lead? Can Martin & Mackenzie survive this leg after
being Marked for Elimination? And will their best friends Bryanna & Keith be able to
support themselves when they're separated? Lionel & Debra, who were the first
to arrive at 4:42pm, will depart at 4:42am.

Currently First: 4:42am
Debra: I'm so excited!
Lionel: Grab a marked car waiting for you on the nearest road and drive to the city
of Lucca and find Piazza Napoleone.
Phil: Teams must now drive to Lucca, a city about 300km away.

Phil: Once there, teams must find this square, Piazza Napoleone, dedicated to
Napoleon himself. It is here where teams will find their next clue.


Debra: You have $30 for this leg of the race.
Lionel: Let's go find our car. (They find their car and started asking locals if they
know how to get to Lucca.)
Debra (conf.): The game's pretty slow, after four legs only one team was eliminated,
shocking. :res: It's giving me this thought this is a year-long race. :lol:
Lionel: Now, Lucca must be another city, so we need to ask more professional
people on how to get there.
Debra: Info center!

Currently Second: 4:52am
Joshua: Grab a marked car...
Currently Third: 4:52am
Kristine: Drive to the city of Lucca. Well, here we go.

Mitch: Those must be the cars.
Joshua: Yep. It looks like we're heading off to Lucca.
Kristine: We need the map of Italy now. :lol:
Penelope: Yeah. Sir, do you know where we can buy maps?
Local: No. :duno:
Penelope: Well, thanks then...We're gonna have to find an information center or the
place for tourism or something.
Kristine: Well, we're headin' there.

Currently Fourth: 4:57am
Lili: You have $30 for this leg of the race. Let's go.
Lili (conf.): We're doing really well in the first three legs. Second-first-fourth, not
bad, actually. In fact, I think we have the best record so far! We even have the
most money!
Lili: TAXI! Do you know where Lucca is?
Taxi driver: Yes, but it's very far.
Lili: Okay then. Do you have like something to tell us how to get there?
Taxi driver: No.
Lili: It's okay...This will be hard.
Lee: I think there should be a tourism center somewhere here! Or an office! At
least find someplace that has an Internet!

Debra: There's the info center.
Lionel: Awesome, they better sell maps there.
Mitch: Lionel & Debra just stopped, they're going to what I think is the information
center.
Joshua: How did they know where that was?
Kristine: They stop, sis. Let's check out what they're doing.
The three teams entered the Information Center.
Woman: Ciao.
Debra: Do you speak English?
Woman: Yes, of course!
Debra: Good, we want to know how to get to Piazza Napoleone in Lucca?
Woman: Hm...You can buy the Italy map there. But here is how you drive to Lucca.
(She told the teams how to get there.)
Debra: Thank you.
Joshua: Grazie.
Kristine: Thanks.
Mitch: Oh, madam, by the way, do you think you could help us with something?
Woman: Why?
Mitch: If there are any more pairs coming, could you not sell them the maps? It's
called strategy! ;D
Woman: Sorry, I can't. My job is to assist people.
Mitch: Well then...How about...a thousand Lire?
Woman: No! Get out!
Mitch: Ugh, fine, I'm very, very sorry.
Joshua: You shouldn't have done that, Mitch.
Mitch: Worth a try.
Lionel: Did you hear that? Joshua & Mitch got shouted at by the lady.
Debra: Let's just go now! If they're going to jail, better! Those guys are really getting
more cutthroat. They are businessmen, after all.
Lionel: Yep. Did you get the maps?
Debra: Italy map, check. Lucca map, check! We're set!
Penelope: Lol at them getting shouted at for trying to ruin one's game.
Kristine: Lol indeed. :funny:
Lili & Lee found the same place and got directions and a map to Lucca.
Lili: We now have a map that has Padova and Lucca and we have another map of
Lucca.
Lee: I wonder what interesting things we'll find in Lucca.

Currently Fifth: 5:14am
Holly: Grab a marked car and drive to the city of Lucca.
Gabrielle: Great. Let's go...sir, do you know any places which has people who might
know like, for travelers?
Local: Hm...I think there should be one just along that road there.
Gabrielle: I trust you. Thanks very much, sir. :kuss:
Local: You're welcome!
Gabrielle: Oh, do you think you can take us there? You can get in our car. Please!
Local: Well...erm...
Gabrielle: Please...??
Local: Okay!
Gabrielle (conf.): I think my flirting ability got us first in the first leg so now I will test
whether that is true.
Gabrielle: Thank you sir! You’re my hero! :kuss:
Holly: Fast, Gabrielle.

Currently Sixth 5:20am
Keith: We're going to another city now.
Bryanna: Okay, we need to ask for directions.
Bryanna (conf.): It felt very different to start a leg without Martin & Mackey. We've
been together since leg 1 and now's the first time we're actually minutes apart. I
wasn't certain and confident that we'll be able to cope with it.
Bryanna: We want to beat Joshua & Mitch, that's basically the goal this leg.
Keith: Madam, do you know how to get to Lucca?
Local: Where's that?
Keith: It's a city.
Local: Then no! But there is a tourist center right there.
Keith: Over that?
Local: Si, si.
Keith: Okay then, thank you.
Local: No need for thanks.
Keith: So we're heading there.

Currently Seventh: 5:45am
Alejandro: Let's go!
Alejandro (conf.): Our record in the game isn't really impressive. Expected, but still,
we still fail to shock the viewers.
Bilius (conf.): But for people who don't know much about travelling and don't know
what a currency is, we're doing pretty well. :lol:
Bilius: Excuse me, miss, do you know how to get to Lucca.
Local: Lucca? My, that's far away!
Bilius: But if you know it, you must know how to get there!
Local: What? Then if I know Mars, then I know how to get there...Not!
Bilius: Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
Bilius (conf.): The Italians, especially those in Padova, are really outspoken. Reminds
me of my mom who left me with an old apartment.
Alejandro: Let's keep going.

Currently Eighth: 5:48am
Samantha: Now...Leg 4, is it?
Jenneco: Yes.
Currently Ninth: 5:49am
Jenna: Yes, we're leaving Padova.
Jenna (conf.): Kathryn and I are really tired of always fighting to avoid being in last
place. We're doing good so far ever since Leg 1, but still, annoyed by the fact we
can never feel relaxed. Anything can happen so, why not a miracle!
Currently Last: 5:49am
Martin: Let's go ask people if they know any place where maps are sold.
Mackenzie: Of course.
Martin (conf.): We were Marked for Elimination, that is really scary. We must be
first next leg or else we will have to wait 30 minutes before checking in. That
might not sound too long but in the race, it definitely can be long enough to put you
out of the race.

The three teams found the same info center as all the rest of the teams and are
heading to Lucca.

Piazza Napoleone:
Kristine: Okay, now we need to find Napoleon Plaza!
Penelope: It says here Piazza Napoleone...
Kristine: It sounds like Napoleon Plaza, definitely not Napoleon Pizza.
Mitch: Is this Lucca!?
Local: Yes, this is Lucca.
Mitch: Do you know Piazza Napoleone?
Local: Ahh, Piazza Napoleone is there! Follow me!
Mitch: Grazie, signore!
Lionel: Piazza Napoleone!! Are we in Lucca? Where's Piazza Napoleone?
Local2: There!
Lionel: Thanks, man.
One team found the place first.
Kristine: There! I know, the statue is Napoleon!
Penelope: And you know because the clue box is there!
Kristine: Fast Forward! Should we take it?
Phil: This is the first Fast Forward of the race. The team that wants to complete the
Fast Forward must complete one task. Once done with the task, they can skip all
remaining tasks and proceed to the Pitstop. But teams can only do the Fast
Forward once, so they must find the most convenient time to do it, and only one
team may do a Fast Forward. In this Fast Forward, that team must drive to
Tower Guinigi and search around the grounds for the Fast Forward clue. The Fast
Forward clue will instruct the teams to grab a camera next to the clue box and
climb up the stairs to the top of the tower. Along the way they must count how
many steps are there and correct them to the nearest tens. Once at the top they
must take a photo of the scene similar to the picture given to the teams in the
clue. Then they must write the rounded off number on the lower right of the photo and
give it to the man waiting for them down. If they get it right, both the number and
the picture, they will receive their final Fast Forward clue.


Kristine: We're not doing it.
Penelope: Are you sure?
Kristine: Yes. Now the next clue...Roadblock! Who wants to get to know the
neighbourhood?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member may perform. In this
Roadblock, that team member have to walk to San Michele in Foro, or just simply
San Michele. Once there, they must find the bakery called Taddeucci, which is just
behind the church. At the bakery, they will be given three cakes of Lucca - treccia,
buccellato, and torta di ebre. They must then go to the neighborhood of Piazza San
Michele and find the three people with the food they have matching one of their
own. They take each cake from the three people and come back to the bakery with
a pair of each food. If they succeed, the baker will hand them their next clue.


Penelope: Who will do it?
Kristine: I think I should do it, though I think both of us suit the role. :lol:
As Kristine headed off to find San Michele, Joshua & Mitch found the clue, followed
by Lionel & Debra.
Joshua: Fast Forward!!
Lionel: Should we do it?
Debra: It's risky!
Lionel: But we're the third here!
Debra: But for all I know, the other teams might have found a short cut.
Mitch: Let's do it!
Joshua: Definitely! (They headed off.)
Lionel: Great, now they got it.
Debra: Leave it, they're desperate for a first place finish.
Lionel: Okay then...Roadblock. Who wants to get to know the neighborhood?
Debra: Hm...What do you think?
Lionel: I'll do it. Better safe than sorry.
Debra: Unless it's a mental task.

On their way to Piazza Napoleone:
Jenneco: We have Jenna & Kathryn at the first of the last group, followed by Bilius
& Alejandro, us, and finally the oldies.
Samantha: We're not gonna be in second last for sure...
Samantha attempts to overtake Bilius & Alejandro.
Bilius: Oh, no they don't!
Samantha: Oh, never mind.
Jenna: Don't let them pass you.
Kathryn: I won't. And if they did, I'm an expert at getting back the lead.
Bilius: I am SO gonna pass them!
Bilius tries to overtake Jenna & Kathryn.
Alejandro: Bil, that's not overtaking, that's slowing down.
Bilius: Wait, don't ask me. I can't speed it up!
Samantha: Eh? Yay I overtook them! ;D
Jenneco: That doesn't seem fair. I think it's something with the engine...and the
wheels, what a combination.
Martin: :yess: We're not in last now.
Mackenzie: At least, for now.
Bilius: You kidding!? (They got off the car.)
Alejandro: Great! Now we're last! How will we fix this?
They tried their best to fix the wheels, but with the engine parts also messed up,
they gave up and waited for their replacement car.
Phil: In an event of a vehicle breaking down, teams will be given a replacement
vehicle. However, no time credit will be given for this unlucky situation.
Bilius: Great, now we need to wait...
Alejandro: We're so last now...
Bilius: THIS SUCKS!!
They waited for a long time before getting their replacement car.

Piazza Napoleone:
Lili: Woohoo! We're early!
Lee: Now...Roadblock! Who wants to get to know the neighborhood?
Lili: Wait! There's a Fast Forward! Should we take it? I'm aiming for no.
Lee: Yes! Let's take it!
Lili: Are you serious?
Lee: I am dead serious. Psychologically, the first teams, if any, feel confident enough
they won't be last! And I am very determined to get another first place finish.
Lili: I don't think it's a good idea.
Lee: Why don't you? It's cool to take the Fast Forward!
Lili: It's not cool to lose against another team in a Fast Forward.
Lee: Hm...
Penelope and Debra are then seen chatting.
Lee: Look, why are they there?
Debra: Oh, hey Lililee! Are you going for the Fast Forward?
Lili: No!
Lee: Yes!
Debra: Ooh...Conflict...
Lili: Were there any teams going for the Fast Forward.
Debra: None that I know of...yet, except Joshua & Mitch.
Lili: Hm?
Lee: Let's read the clue first...I really think we should take it.
Lili: Oh come on, Mr. Lee.
Penelope and Debra exchanged looks.
Lee: I really want to take it.
Lili: I really don't think we should.
Lee: Then we'll go by luck. Pick your side.
Lili: Tails!
Lee: Okay, Heads is Fast Forward, Tails is Roadblock......Heads!
Lili: Ugh. If you say so.
Lili (conf.): I'm not the person who takes unneccessary risks. That's just really
stupid.
Lili & Lee headed for the Fast Forward.

San Michele in Foro:
Kristine: This must be it.
Lionel: Ah ha! I caught up to you.
Kristine: I'm not at all surprised.
Lionel: So now where's the bakery?
They both searched for Taddeucci together, eventually finding it.
Lionel: Here it is! It's there, Taddeucci.
Kristine: Oh! I missed that! I was looking at the word above it.
Lionel: Sir, can we have our cakes?
Baker: There you go. Good luck!
Lionel: Thanks.
Kristine: Grazie.
They both separated to look for the three people with the right cakes.
Kristine: So...this I have this long cake, which someone told me is the treccia, the
buccellato is ring-shaped like a doughnut. And this must be the torta di ebre......They
all look so delicious...
Lionel: I work in a food court so I'm not tempted by the smell. It's unique
though...Miss, is this yours? (He showed her his buccellato.)
Woman: You got it! (She gave her own to him.)
Lionel: Thank you.

Piazza Napoleone:
Penelope: How do you think your lover will do?
Debra: I think he'll do great. He works fast.
Penelope: Are you two tighter or less tight during the race?
Debra: I don't know. I don't measure the love scale. :lol: How do you think Kristine
will do?
Penelope: I don't know, actually. She's smart, but she's easily tempted.

San Michele in Foro:
Kristine: Maybe I'll give each a small taste... (She tasted them.) Okay, now I'm even
more tempted. I need to find them before I eat them all up!
Lionel found the person with the torta di ebre.
Lionel: Now I need the treccia and I'm done.

Tower Guinigi:
Joshua: Okay, let's go!
Mitch: One...two...three...
At stair number 183, Lili & Lee arrived.
Lili: Okay, so we need to get this camera and start counting. I hope you made the
right decision.
Lee: I hope so too.
Mitch: 227, 228, 229, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 236, 237, 238...Two hundred and
thirty-eight steps!
Joshua: Plus one or minus one, my head's messed up. :groan:
Mitch: Where's the man?
Joshua: If I remember correctly, we need to go back down.
Mitch: Oh shoot, we forgot the camera!
Joshua: There's something about the camera?
Mitch: It was right there! Gosh, we're stupid.

San Michele in Foro:
Lionel: There you are!
Man: Congratulations!
Lionel: Thank you.
Kristine: Oh god, is that a buccellato?
Woman: Why, yes. Here you go!
Kristine: Grazie.
Lionel: Oh baker! I found them all!
Baker: Mmhm...Very well done, here is your next clue.
Lionel: Thank you. Now to find Deb. :wohoo:

Piazza Napoleone:
Debra: Lionel! Honey, you're first!
Lionel: I am?
Penelope: Aw...
Lionel: Any teams?
Debra: Yes. Lililee went for the Fast Forward.
Lionel: Well good luck to them.
Debra: Make your way on foot to Cicli Bizzarri where your next clue awaits.
Phil: Teams must now go to this small bike shop, Cicli Bizzarri, for their next clue.


Lionel: Let's go!
Debra: You are awesome, honey.
Lionel: Welcome.
Debra: Cicli Bizzarri? Does anyone know where it is? I have a feeling we're going to
do cycling in a bizarre way.
Local: It's there.
Debra: Thank you.

San Michele in Foro:
Kristine: Sir, is that a treccia? It is!
Man: :lol: Good job!
Kristine: Grazie! Now, the torta di ebre!

Tower Guinigi:
Lee: There are 238 steps.
Lili: Are you sure?
Lee: Yes. Now, the picture. (He took a very good picture and the result came out,
it's the type of camera which the photo is printed out from the camera and that
you need to shake it.)
Lili: It's blank.
Lee: You know nothing of photography.
Lili: At least I know the more important thing - Geography.
Lee: There. (The photo looks really similar to the original photo, Lee put the number
'238' on the lower right corner.) Let's go!
Joshua: Shoot, they're going.
Mitch: We might still have a chance.

Piazza Napoleone:
Two teams arrived.
Keith: Fast Forward!
Bryanna: It's too late for that, dear.
Gabrielle: Fast Forward! I have a feeling we can still do it!
Holly: No way...
Gabrielle: Yes way, Holly!
Holly: Fine, whatever you say. I don't think the last teams will be able to catch up
anyway.
Keith: Who'll do the Roadblock?
Bryanna: I'll do it. I'll try my best. I love coffee and cupcakes!
Penelope: Come on, sis...

San Michele in Foro:
Kristine found the torta di ebre and got her clue.
Kristine: Now, where's the way back? Gosh...Does anyone know where Piazza
Napoleone is?! Anyone!? I'll have to look for it myself...

Tower Guinigi:
Man: Wrong.
Lee: WHAT!?
Man: Wrong.
Lee: Why?
Man: Wrong.
Lee: I guess he's keeping it a secret.
Lili: Should we still do it?
At that point, Holly & Gabrielle arrived.
Lee: Yes, let's continue.
Lili: Lee, think rationally! If Holly & Gabrielle and Joshua & Mitch are here, at least
we know there'll be at least one other person who is bound to lose to the Fast
Forward and lose a lot of time!
Lee: Hm...Fine, but only because you're so determined to quit it.
Lili: It's called rational thinking.
Lee: So who'll do the Roadblock?
Lili: I will.

Cicli Bizzarri:
Debra: Grazie, signore!
Lionel: Detour! Differentiate or Accumulate!
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In
this Detour, teams have to choose between two bike tasks - Differentiate or
Accumulate.

In Differentiate, teams will be shown several bicycles. They must classify what are
the types and uses of these bikes. If they get all of them correct they'll receive
their next clue. This task isn't physically harsh, but teams need to know their bikes
to know their differences.

In Accumulate, teams must assemble a bicycle. Once fixed with the shopkeeper's
satisfaction, they'll receive their next clue. This task is harder physically, but teams
with bicycle assembling knowledge might have a chance to assemble a good finish.


Lionel: Which one?
Debra: Do you know how to fix a bike?
Lionel: Not that well.
Debra: We'll do Differentiate.
They started the task.

San Michele in Foro:
Bryanna found the bakery quickly and began finding the three cakes.
Bryanna: Hm...Treccia? Does anyone here have a treccia? Well, obviously they
wouldn't say they have it or else that would be a giveaway...Oh! I saw you! You're
holding this thing!
Man: :lol: It's called torta di ebre!
Bryanna: At least I found you!
Shortly after, Bryanna found the woman with the buccellato.
Bryanna: This Roadblock's easy!
Bryanna (conf.): We're actually doing pretty well without Martin & Mackey. But still,
the tasks were more fun with them.

Tower Guinigi:
Joshua & Mitch got the wrong number or picture for the third time, Holly &
Gabrielle didn't shoot a good picture and started again. Joshua & Mitch were
halfway counting.
Joshua: What're we doing wrong?
Mitch: Hm...Let us see the clue.
Joshua: Okay...we counted steps, yes, we did the picture, yes...we didn't round it off.
Mitch: Okay! So let's continue...at least we now know the answer! ;D
Joshua: 230?
Mitch: 240! :groan:
Gabrielle: Now...234 steps. The other four steps are different from the rest. I have a feeling they’re benches. :lol: Take a good shot this time, Holly.
Holly took a good enough shot.
Holly: Remember to round it off, that makes it 230.
Gabrielle: Shoot. The businessmen are here.
Joshua: Hey guys. Hurry, Mr. Morris.
Mitch took the picture as Holly & Gabrielle headed down, dashing. Joshua & Mitch
followed.
Holly: Ah! Gabrielle! We forgot to write the number!
Gabrielle: Oh shoot, now we're in trouble.
Joshua: Mitch, they forgot the number!
Mitch: :yess:
Holly & Gabrielle quickly did their thing, but Joshua & Mitch reached the man first.
Man: Hm...
Joshua: :yess:
Holly: (:
Suspense pause...

Cicli Bizzarri:
Debra: So...we have ten bicycles, ten names of the types of bicycles, and ten
functions. Let's look at our first type of bicycle...
Lionel: Touring bicycles.
Debra: Hm...
Lionel: Is it this? (He help up the picture of the correct touring bicycle.)
Debra: Hm...It looks like a mountain bicycle. Put it there.
Lionel: Okay.
Debra: And the function...A cross between racing bicycles and touring bicycles.
Lionel: No, it has got to be 'For touring and long journeys.'
Debra: That's perfect.

Tower Guinigi:
Man: Wrong!
Mitch: NO!!
Joshua: Shooooot! (They headed back, hoping Holly & Gabrielle would get it wrong
as well.
Holly: Our turn!
Gabrielle: Please say it is right and give our clue. :flirt:
Man: Hm... (He seemed pleased at first, but then when he looked at the photo,
away from the number, he began to have looks on his face.)
Gabrielle: Please? It's our only hope! I'll give you a kiss!
Man: Hm...
Gabrielle: Please, signore? For me? I really want to win a leg! I'm desperate!
Man: Okay! Congratulations!
Gabrielle: Oh, grazie! Thank you so much, you are the best! :kuss:
Man: :flirt:
Joshua: Mr. Morris, they got it!
Mitch: Damn. Let's go back!
Mitch (conf.): I thought we were doomed. Going for the Fast Forward was the
worst decision we made so far. :groan:
Holly: Make your way on foot to the next Pitstop!
Phil: Having won the Fast Forward, Holly & Gabrielle can now proceed to the
Pitstop - Palazzo Micheletti. This palace, built in the last 16th century for the
Bishop of Ajaccio, is the fourth Pitstop of the race. The last team to check-in here
may be eliminated.


Gabrielle: OH MY GOD!!
Holly: :hearts:
Joshua: Man, this sucks right now.

Piazza Napoleone:
Mitch: We just spend a whole dang time there for nothing!
Joshua: Lili & Lee made the right decision when Holly & Gabrielle came, we didn't.
Penelope: Eh? You guys just got here? So you didn’t win the Fast Forward?
Keith: I think they went for the Fast Forward.
Mitch: We did, but we didn’t. Roadblock! Who wants to get to know the neighborhood? I'll do it.
Joshua: Good luck to you.
A few seconds later...
Penelope: Ahhh!!! :wohoo: I thought you were stuck there!
Kristine: Well...I was.
Penelope: What does the clue say?
Kristine: Make your way on foot to Cicli Bizzarri.
Penelope: Let's go, then...You're the second out!
Kristine: Still? Does anyone know where Cicli Bizzarri is?
Penelope: Wait, I have the map.
Keith: I hope Bryanna can finish the Roadblock quickly.

San Michele in Foro:
Bryanna just completed the Roadblock as Mitch found the bakery. Lili found the
woman with the buccellato.
Bryanna: Good luck!
Mitch: Thanks, ma'am.
Bryanna (to herself): You ungrateful U-Turners, trying to separate me from them. I beat you! I beat you!
Mitch (conf.): At first, U-Turning the old people seemed to be the strategic move, it still is. But, we might have karma biting us soon. I thought the Fast Forward was good enough karma.
Lili: Where are the two other people?
Mitch: Now, let's get this started.

Cicli Bizzarri:
Debra: There! Now let's summarise!
Lionel: Okay. (He summarised their guesses and then asked the shopkeeper.)
Shopkeeper: Wrong.
Debra: Ha?
Lionel: Hm...Let's keep working.

Palazzo Micheletti-Pitstop:
'I am just freaking out right now!'
'We've already been through this!'
'I know, I know! But still!' They step onto the mat.

Greeter: Ciao, welcome to Lucca, Italy.
Holly: Thank you! ;D
Gabrielle: You're hot! How old are you?
Greeter: Around 20 to 30.
Gabrielle: Well I am 39 going on 20 to 30. :flirt:
Greeter: :lol:
Holly: Bring us the news, Phil.
Phil: Holly & Gabrielle, you, are team number......1!
Holly: :wohoo: Yes!
Gabrielle: We did it! :hearts: Give me a kiss, you greeter boy you! :hugs: :kuss:
Greeter: Mamma mia...
Phil (resisting to laugh): As winners of this race, you have won a trip for two from
Travelocity to......Paris, France!
Holly: YES!!
Gabrielle: Yes!! Finally, something better than hot boys!
Phil: You will enjoy the views of the city, its wonderful restaurants, shops, and you'll
get VIP passes to the Eiffel Tower. All courtest of Travelocity.
Gabrielle: Thank you Travelocity.

Piazza Napoleone:
Keith: Good job honey.
Bryanna: Make your way on foot to Cicli Bizzarri.
Keith: I have a bad feeling about this.

Cicli Bizzarri:
Penelope: Detour! Differentiate or Accumulate.
Kristine: We have no choice, we're not great builders.
Penelope: Yeah. We're doing Differentiate.

San Michele in Foro:
Lili and Mitch found their last cakes at about the same time. One of them reached
the bakery first.
Baker: Here's your clue.
Lili: Thank you.
Mitch: I'm done too!
Baker: Good job.
Mitch: Thanks!

Cicli Bizzarri:
Penelope & Kristine were categorizing the bikes when Bryanna & Keith entered.
Lionel & Debra are checking their answers.
Shopkeeper: Wrong.
Debra: Hm...
Lionel: Debra...I think these two should switch. This one has a basket, this one has
bags. I think a basket is good enough for shopping. That I think is the utility bike.
Debra: You try it. I'm gonna think over.
Bryanna: Detour!
Keith: Let's do Differentiate.
Bryanna: Yep. No other choice.

Piazza Napoleone:
Joshua: Oh no, they're here.
Lee: Who?
Kathryn: Thank god they're still here.
Jenna: Fast Forward! Should we take it?
Kathryn: I don't know. It's worth a try...Guys! Do you know if someone took the Fast
Forward?
Lee and Joshua looked at each other, both thinking they know what the other was
thinking.
Lee: I don't know. The teams I saw didn't take it. Which were Holly & Gabrielle,
Joshua & Mitch, Penelope & Kristine, and Bryanna & Keith.
Kathryn: Lionel & Debra must've took it! Crap!
Joshua: Uh, very likely not. My team went for the Fast Forward, but we gave up,
we weren't lucky enough (He quickly winked at Lee.).
Kathryn: Oh so they didn't take it.
Jenna: Let's just go, obviously he said it needs luck, but I don't see it here.
Kathryn: Maybe there's more to it?
Jenna: We'll see...

Cicli Bizzarri:
The three teams asked whether they got it right.
Shopkeeper: Wrong......Right! Wrong!
Keith: We're just not working hard enough.
Kristine: Ye- aw!
Debra: Finally! Thank you!
Lionel: Make your way on foot to the next Pitstop!

Piazza Napoleone:
Joshua: There you are!
Mitch: We're doing great!
Lee: What about Lili?
Mitch: I overtook her.
Lili: I'm here, I'm here.
Lee: Good.
Joshua: Make your way on foot to Cicli Bizzarri...
Lee: Where your next clue awaits. Let's go!
Mitch: We have got to rush.

Tower Guinigi:
Kathryn: Fast Forward taken!
Jenna: Crap! Now we need to run back!
Kathryn: Can we rest first?

Cicli Bizzarri:
The two teams checked their guesses agian.
Shopkeeper: Correct! Wrong!
Kristine: :jumpy:
Bryanna: :groan:

Palazzo Micheletti-Pitstop:
' :kuss: I'm confident we did it.' They step onto the mat.
Greeter: Ciao, welcome to Lucca, Italy.
Debra: Grazie, signore.
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number.........2!
Lionel: I wonder who passed us.
Debra: Probably got the Fast Forward.

Cicli Bizzarri:
Shopkeeper: Wrong.
Bryanna: Oh, this might go here?
Shopkeeper: Yes!
Bryanna: :hearts:
Keith: Pitstop!

Piazza Napoleone:
Jenneco: Fast Forward!!
Samantha: Three letters!
Jenneco: Yes!?
Samantha: D-U-H! Duh! Of course not!
Jenneco: Ha ha, very funny...
Samantha: Roadblock!
Jenneco: I'll do it! It'll be like a scavenger hunt!
Samantha: Really? I wouldn't call that a scavenger hunt. Except that the things you’re searching move!
Mackenzie: Oh my, dear! Fast Forward!
Martin: Worth a try!

Cicli Bizzarri:
Joshua: Detour! Accumulate or Differentiate!
Lili: Differentiate!
Joshua: Accumulate!
Mitch: Are you sure?
Joshua: No.
Mitch: We'll do Differentiate!

Palazzo Micheletti-Pitstop:
'Hurry!!'
'I hope we still have a good placing!' They step onto the mat.
Greeter: Ciao, welcome to Lucca, Italy.
Penelope: Thanks!
Kristine: Grazie!
Phil: Penelope & Kristine, you, are team number 3!
Kristine: Yay!
Phil: You guys are doing very well so far. But you always miss first place!
Kristine: We don't know when's our time to get it...Hopefully in the last leg. :lol:

Piazza Napoleone:
Kathryn: I'll do the Roadblock!
Jenna: Good luck!

Cicli Bizzarri:
The two teams got it correct quickly.
Lili: Make your way to the next Pitstop!
Joshua: Palazzo Micheletti!

Tower Guinigi:
Mackenzie: No, it's taken.
Martin: Let's walk back...

San Michele in Foro:
Jenneco: Now where is the bakery? Where is Taddeucci?
Kathryn: Yes I found it...Thank you sir. Now I have this long thing, this ring thing, and
this creamy thing. Oh my god they're all so delicious.
Jenneco: Where's Taddeucci? Can anyone take me to Taddeucci? Anyone?
Kathryn: And there's my first one!
Man: Good job!
Kathryn: Thanks! One down, two to go!

Palazzo Micheletti-Pitstop:
'Run!'
'Are you kidding me? :lol: ' They step onto the Pitstop.
Greeter: Ciao, welcome to Lucca, Italy.
Keith: Yay...
Phil: Bryanna & Keith, you, are team number...4!
Bryanna: WOAH!
Keith: That is really nice!
Phil: So it seems that you two are working well alone and not with Martin &
Mackenzie.
Bryanna: That is just amazing and spectacular, dear.
Bryanna (conf.): It's really cool that we managed to stay in a good position. Now,
don't get me wrong, I do feel guilty that I didn't help Martin & Mackey at all this leg,
but it's just that we didn't seem them during race time!

Piazza Napoleone:
Mackenzie: Do you think the last team arrived?
Martin: BilAl? I don't think so. I'll do the Roadblock.
Mackenzie: Go honey! I have most faith in you! :kuss:

On their way to Piazza Napoleone:
Bilius: I haven't seen any teams ever since our car broke down. And this car is just
as bad!
Alejandro: I'm just hoping we're not THAT far behind.
Alejandro (conf.): We were really unlucky right off the bat. We thought it was
impossible to catch up.

San Michele in Foro:
Jenneco: Taddeucci? Do any of y'all know where it is?
Local: Behind church.
Jenneco: Really? I've been searching there. No luck. :duno:
Kathryn: My last man, alright!
Man: Congratulations.
Kathryn: Thank you!
Martin: Ooh, Kathryn!
Kathryn: Ah, hey Mr. Martin. You arrived! Yay!
Martin: Are you finished?
Kathryn: Yeah, I just need to go to the bakery again.
Martin: Could you take me there?
Kathryn: Of course!
Kathryn led Martin to the bakery, where she got her clue and he started working.
Kathryn: :yess:
Martin: Now...to find the cakes...That guy who Kathryn found is still there! :yess:
Man: Congrats!
Jenneco: Where is Taddeucci? I cannot find Taddeucci!
Jenneco eventually found it while Martin found the second cake.
Martin: :yess:
Jenneco: OH, so here it is! Thanks!!
Martin: One more!
Jenneco: This really sucks...

Palazzo Micheletti-Pitstop:
'Okay, we got this!'
'Sorry, I just can't run.' The two teams step onto the mat, the first one to charge
there arrived first.
Greeter: Ciao and welcome to Lucca, Italy.
Lee: Yay, Italy!
Mitch: Grazie.
Phil: Joshua & Mitch, you, are team number 5.
Joshua: We're taking it!
Phil: Lili & Lee, that means you're team number 6.
Lee: Ha ha!
Lili: Good enough. If only we didn't take the Fast Forward.
Lee: :res: I'm just trying to impress my students.

San Michele in Foro:
One teams completes the Roadblock while the other kept looking for their last
cake.
Jenneco: Hm...
Martin: Hm...
Baker: Congratulations!
Martin: :wohoo: Thanks!! Can anyone show me the way back to Piazza Napoleone?
A local points to the direction to Piazza Napoleone.
Martin: Thanks. ;D
Jenneco: Where is that person holding this cake...? Hm...where?

Piazza Napoleone:
Jenna: Well that was a stupid decision.
Kathryn: :jumpy:
Jenna: Yay! :jumpy:
Kathryn: Make your way on foot to Cicli Bizzarri where your next clue awaits.
Jenna: Good job.
Mackenzie: Ooh I hope Martin is here soon.
Samantha: Man, I'm pretty sure Jenn is in trouble...That dumb old boy...or whatever.
A few minutes later, Martin arrived.
Mackenzie: Yay!
Samantha: Oh my god, Jenn got defeated by an old guy. :groan: Where in the world
is he? Don't tell me he's selling cookies...
Martin: Make your way on foot to Cicli Bizzarri where your next clue awaits.
Mackenzie: Good luck guys! I haven't seen Bilius & Alejandro.
Samantha: Thanks.
Samantha (conf.): At that point, I thought only team BilAl would be our hope to stay
alive. Jenn was hopeless.
Jenneco was still searching for his torta di ebre.
Jenneco: How in the world could this thing be missed?!

Cicli Bizzarri:
Kathryn: Detour! Differentiate or Accumulate!
Jenna: Easy choice!
Kathryn: Let's do Differentiate.
Jenna (conf.): I don't think anyone would do Accumulate. If you don't know a lot
about bikes, it's best to know how to guess than build. If you know fairly about
bikes, it's still better to do Differentiate!
Mackenzie: Detour!
Martin: I think we'll do Differentiate.
Martin (conf.): We aren't strong enough to screw things. Our choice was clear.

Piazza Napoleone:
Samantha: NO!
Bilius: Oh good! At least one team's still here!
Alejandro: Fast Forward, too late for that...Roadblock! I'll do it! If anything, Bil here
could easily screw this up!
Bilius: I confess. :res:

San Michele in Foro:
Jenneco: YES!!
Baker: Good job!
Jenneco: Thank you, sir, thank you! Now to see Sammy!
Along the way, he met Alejandro.
Jenneco: Hey Al!
Alejandro: Aw, you're done! :ascared:
Jenneco (conf.): It gave me hope to know I wasn't the last to complete the
Roadblock. It lifted my spirits up higher knowing that it was BilAl. :funny:
Alejandro found the bakery easily and began searching.
Alejandro: Hm...

Cicli Bizzarri:
The two teams got their first guesses wrong. On their second guesses, one team
got it right.
Jenna: YES!!
Shopkeeper: Um, not you, them.
Jenna: Oh, crap!
Kathryn: Should've stayed calm. But really, that was hilarious.
Martin: :yess:
Mackenzie: Make your way on foot to the next Pitstop! Oh no dear, the penalty!
Martin: We're gonna receive it. :groan:
Jenna: Hm...
Jenna (conf.): I took a glimpse of their answers. It fit, it made sense. I wasn't gonna
let my team be last that easily. :lol:
Shopkeeper: Good job!
Jenna: Thank you!

San Michele in Foro:
Alejandro found two people with the cake together, probably bored.
Alejandro: Kill two birds with one stone! Perfect! Just one more...
He kept searching.

Piazza Napoleone:
Samantha: FINALLY!
Jenneco: Sorry Sammy.
Samantha: You better be! Now we need to go to this place...

Palazzo Micheletti-Pitstop:
'Run!'
'There's no use!'
'No need to run, we're gonna beat them anyway. :lol: ' The two teams step onto
the mat, the first one to charge arrived first.
Greeter: Ciao, welcome to Lucca, Italy.
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie, you, are team number 7.
Martin: Hm...
Phil: However...Since you were spared elimination and Marked for Elimination last
leg, and you didn't arrive first this leg, you will now have to wait for thirty more
minutes before I can officially check you in. Step out, please.
Mackenzie: This is scary...
Martin: Whatever happens, we did well. :kuss:
Phil: Jenna & Kathryn, you, are the eighth team to arrive.
Jenna: We figured.
Phil: But because of Martin & Mackenzie's penalty, you are officially team number 7.
Kathryn: Finally, we're going up.

San Michele in Foro:
Alejandro found the girl and got his clue and ran back.

Piazza Napoleone:
Bilius: Yes! You took too long!
Alejandro: Shut up...
Bilius: Now...to Cicli Bizzarri.

Cicli Bizzarri:
Samantha: Detour! Differentiate or Accumulate!
Jenneco: Which one?
Samantha: I dunno. I have fixed a bike before, though.
Jenneco: Then we're doing Accumulate.
They started their work. A few minutes later, Bilius & Alejandro arrived.
Bilius: We're doing Differentiate.
The two teams were doing their Detours, both having hard times. At 10:53, one
team completes the Detour, followed by the other a few minutes later.
Samantha: Pitstop!
Alejandro: Crap! We're last!!!

Palazzo Micheletti-Pitstop:
Martin: Come on...
They kept waiting...
Mackenzie: Hoping...
Waiting...
One minute passed...
Mackenzie: Oh my god...
Waiting...
Waiting...
Challenge music...
Mackenzie: I think it's almost time.
Later...
' :yess: '
'Phew!!'
'Oh, hurry up!!'
'So close.' The team step onto the mat.
Phil: Bilius & Alejandro, you, are team number 8!
Bilius: :jumpy:
Alejandro: :jumpy:
Phil: How do you think you two are doing so far?
Bilius: We're great bottom feeders. It seems everyone is always at where they
were in the first leg!
Alejandro: I hope we keep this up.
Martin: HM...
Mackenzie:
Phil: I can now check you in.
Martin & Mackenzie: :yess: :kuss: :hugs:
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie, your 30-minute penalty is done. You are officially team
number 9.
Martin: We did it!
Phil: How do you think you guys did, overcoming your Mark for Elimination?
Mackenzie: We're still here, aren't we? So we did great!
Martin: We live to see another country...

On their way to Palazzo Micheletti:
Jenneco: Where the hell are we?
Samantha: I don't know...Aren't you the one with the map?
Jenneco: Yes. But if you keep your trap I might be able to do this.
Samantha: You were asking where we are!
Jenneco: Who said?
Samantha: You're a liar and a stupid head. I know I should've done this.
Jenneco: Here!
Samantha: You missed a turn, Jenn. Idiot...
Jenneco: :res: :res: :res: :res:
It took them quite a while before finding it.
Jenneco: Oh, so it's a palace.
Samantha: We're probably last now.
They step onto the mat.
Greeter: Ciao. Welcome to Lucca, Italy.
Jenneco: Grazie.
Samantha: :res: You can't possibly hit on him. Like he'd want someone like you.
Jenneco: (: You can't possibly be arguing about that when we're getting eliminated.
Samantha: You puss.
Jenneco: You annoying freak.
Phil: If I have to remind you, keep arguments vocal and not physical.
Jenneco: Yeah, but Sam wouldn't shut up.
Samantha: Look who's talking.
Phil: Jenneco & Samantha, you are the last team to arrive.
Samantha: Thanks to Jenn. :res:
Jenneco: :res: I'm so glad this is over.
Phil: You have been eliminated from the race.

Samantha (conf.): I just learn now that Jenneco won't be daring in any situation. It's
a shame.
Jenneco (conf.): In this race, I've learnt more about Samantha, about how annoying
she is and how much of a loser she is.
Samantha (conf.): Psh.
Jenneco (conf.): I'm glad our title isn't 'Best Friends'. 'Gossip Friends' might fit our
role still, but maybe we're just gonna be 'Gossipers' from now on.

Episode 6: Revenge Is Sweet, Sweeter If Long Delayed, Like Success!

Phil: Previously on RealShowFan’s the Amazing Race…Teams drive to Lucca.
Lionel: Grab a marked car waiting for you on the nearest road and drive to the city of Lucca and find Piazza Napoleone.
Phil: On their way, Hispanic team Bilius & Alejandro got an unlucky break.
Alejandro: Bil, that's not overtaking, that's slowing down.
Bilius: Wait, don't ask me. I can't speed it up!
Alejandro: Great! Now we're last! How will we fix this?
Phil: Teams found the very first Fast Forward of the race.
Kristine: We're not doing it.
Debra: It's risky!
Mitch: Let's do it!
Lee: Yes! Let's take it!
Lili: It's not cool to lose against another team in a Fast Forward.
Phil: Which proved to be confusing and different from the normal clues.
Mitch: Oh shoot, we forgot the camera!
Joshua: 230?
Mitch: 240!
Phil: At the Detour, teams thought the classifying task was easier, but it didn’t live up to its expectations.
Shopkeeper: Wrong.
Debra: Hm...
Lionel: Debra...I think these two should switch.
Debra: You try it. I'm gonna think over.
Phil: In the end, Fast Forward winners Holly & Gabrielle emerged once again, with a bit of their flirting, first at the Pitstop.
Gabrielle: We did it! Give me a kiss, you greeter boy you!
Greeter: Mamma mia...
Phil: And although Martin & Mackenzie were seventh to arrive and took the 30-minute penalty, it wasn’t them that got eliminated.
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie, your 30-minute penalty is done. You are officially team number 9.
Martin: We did it!
Phil: It was the struggles of Jenneco in the Roadblock and the whole team in relationship, that sent the gossipers packing.
Jenneco: Taddeucci? Do any of y'all know where it is?
Local: Behind church.
Jenneco: Really? I've been searching there. No luck.
Samantha: Oh my god, Jenn got defeated by an old guy.
Samantha: You missed a turn, Jenn. Idiot...
Samantha: You puss.
Jenneco: You annoying freak.
Phil: Jenneco & Samantha, you are the last team to arrive.
Phil: Nine teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

Phil: This is Lucca, Italy. This friendly neighborhood holds the fourth Pitstop of the race --- Palazzo Micheletti. This palace is the fourth Pitstop in a race around the world. Teams arrived here at the end of last leg for a mandatory rest period. Will Holly & Gabrielle keep flirting to get to the top? Or was that just a coincidence? Can Penelope & Kristine finally pull a win? And can the bottom teams Jenna & Kathryn, Bilius & Alejandro and returning bottom team Martin & Mackenzie get on top? Holly & Gabrielle, who were the first to arrive at 9:10am, will depart at 9:10pm.

First To Depart: 9:10pm
Gabrielle: Fly to Luanda, Angola via Galileo Galilei International Airport in Pisa.
Phil: Teams must now fly to Luanda, Angola.

Phil: Once there, teams must grab a car and drive to Hospital Josina Machel-Maria Pia and donate 1,000 Angola Kwanza (AOA), equivalent to 12USD, to the nurse waiting outside with their clue to give appreciation to the hospital. Then the nurse will hand them their next clue.


Gabrielle: You have $7 for this leg of the race. Caution: Yield Ahead!!!

Phil: This is the second Yield of the race. If a team is Yielded, that team must turn over the hourglass and can proceed to their next task when the sands are all down. Only once can a team use the Yield so they must find the best time to use it.


Gabrielle: Mmhm…Yield…Sounds good…
Holly: I actually agree with you.
Gabrielle (conf.): I am so gonna Yield the fat boys. They’re always in the bottom group so why not just kick them out!
Holly: So…We have our map of Italy…the airport is here…Let’s hit it.
Gabrielle (conf.): I will so use my flirting from now on as it seemed to get me so far!
Holly (conf.): We’re doing awesome!
Gabrielle: This sucks, we’re going to Africa.
Holly: It can’t be that bad.

Second To Depart: 9:33pm
Debra: Fly to Luanda, Angola!
Lionel: Let’s go!
Debra: Should we use the Yield?
Lionel: Who would you use it against?
Debra: Well…how about Joshua & Mitch the Bit…Yeah, how about them?
Lionel: We’ll see.

Third To Depart: 9:38pm
Kristine: Fly to Luanda, Angola.
Penelope: We’re finally leaving Europe.
Kristine: Uh huh.
Kristine (conf.): The times between all teams are more spread out now. So the last team is very far apart from the first team. We’re glad we’re not one of those people.
Penelope (conf.): Girl-girl team for the win!
Kristine (conf.): :yess: If Joe Jer & Zabrina can do it, so can we!
Penelope: Okay, I’m not entirely sure if this is the fastest route so bear with me.

Travel Agency:
Gabrielle: Sorry for interrupting y’all this late, guys. But you’re working anyways.
Man: How may I help you?
Gabrielle: Well, first, you can stop staring at me and find the flight arriving at Luanda, Angola the earliest.
Man: Of course…
Holly (whispering to Gabrielle): You don’t need to flirt like that.
Gabrielle: :lol:
Man: We have Air France flight departing at 12:45am, a stop in Paris, and then in Lisbon where you have to go to TAP Portugal which will arrive in Luanda at 5:50am the next day.
Gabrielle: The next day meaning tomorrow or the next day meaning...
Man: The day after tomorrow.
Gabrielle: Are you serious? All the teams will catch up then!
Holly: How many seats are there on that flight?
Man: Well…not much on Air France, but a lot in TAP Portugal.
Holly: That’s too bad.
Gabrielle: Are you sure that’s the earliest? Please say there’s an earlier one! For me… :flirt:
Man: Hm…No, nothing else.
Gabrielle: I’m never dating you or even look at you ever again.
Holly: Book those tickets for us please.
They got booked and headed for the airport. Later on Lionel & Debra got the same thing, so do Penelope & Kristine.

Fourth To Depart: 9:47pm
Keith: Aw…we’re leaving Europe.
Bryanna: We have our best records here. But at least we get to donate money now!

Galileo Galilei International Airport:
Holly: This is it!
Gabrielle (sighing): Bye ITALY!!
Holly: Air France...
Gabrielle: Let’s search.

Air France Counter:
Holly: Hello. We booked two tickets to um...Lisbon?
Counter worker: Yeah…Holly McPeak and Gabrielle Reece?
Gabrielle: That’s us.
Counter worker: You’re volleyball players, yes?
Gabrielle: Yes, but please don’t freak out, we’re in a hurry.
Counter worker: It’s not that I want to see you two, I already met a lot of stars here. ;D
Gabrielle: Don’t be so...Whatever.
They got their tickets.

Fifth To Depart: 9:59pm
Joshua: Fly to Luanda, Angola.
Mitch: Aw…
Joshua: Caution: Yield Ahead!
Mitch: We will totally Yield someone if we can! We have wasted our U-Turn courtesy photo, but not our Yield!
Sixth To Depart: 10:00pm
Lili: Angola? Oh, crap. It’s hot there.
Lee: Oh no. :groan:
Lee (conf.): We’re pretty much not improving...But we will!
Lee: Joshua, wanna work together as teams to Galileo Airport and also finding a good flight?
Joshua: Mr. Morris, should we work with them?
Lili: There’s a travel agency nearby...
Mitch: I’m willing.
Lili (conf.): What were you thinking, Mr. Lee? Teaming up with the power threats!
Lee (conf.): I thought it was a good idea. They’re bound to help us in someway.

Galileo Galilei International Airport:
Debra: Excuse me, there is a flight departing at 12:45am and arrives Lisbon, right?
Counter worker: Yeah.
Debra: We booked two tickets. Debra Harrison...Lionel Potter...
Counter worker: Here are your tickets.
Debra: Grazie.
Lionel: Now we rest.
Debra: Teams are gonna catch up. :groan:
Lionel: Hopefully there’s no room for all of us, except us.
Minutes later...
Kristine: Where do you think the counter is?
Penelope: For Air France? Hm...
Kristine: There. Ma’am, we want the two tickets to Lisbon. We booked two tickets.
Counter worker: Names?
Kristine: Kristine Tanner and Penelope Tanner...
Counter worker: Here you go.
Kristine: Thanks, lady.
Penelope: Two hours to kill!

Seventh To Depart: 10:30pm
Jenna: Fly to Luanda, Angola.
Kathryn: Angola...hm...Where is that? The only time I’ve heard about it was in the World Soccer Cup...
Jenna (conf.): Ever since the first leg, we haven’t been in last. I hope that’s a sign.
Kathryn (conf.): Yeah. :lol: Let’s pull a Zabrina & Joe Jer!!

Travel Agency:
Keith: Happy night in dark light! ;D
Bryanna: Hi...We’d like the fastest flight to Luanda.
Travel agent: Okay, hold on a sec...There are two flights which arrive at Luanda. The first one is Air France and TAP Portugal. Take Air France to Lisbon, and then TAP Portugal to Luanda. Departs 12:45am tomorrow and arrives 5:50am the day after tomorrow.
Bryanna: Eh? So late!
Travel agent: It’s far.
Keith: What’s our other option?
Travel agent: Well this time it is Iberia and Tap Portual. It also connects in Lisbon and TAP Portugal takes you to Luanda at 5:50am too. It departs a lot later, however.
Bryanna: When?
Travel agent: 12:45pm tomorrow.
Keith: Wow! Really?
Travel agent: The computer never lies.
Keith: Awesome. Can we book two tickets?
Travel agent: Bye then.
Lili: Oh look, it’s Bryanna & Keith. Hey guys! You got a flight?
Mitch: Hello.
Bryanna: Doh. Yes, we got a flight. Air France and TAP Portugal one.
Joshua: Does that arrive first?
Bryanna: Yes, you can ask them yourself. I am not lying.
Bryanna (conf.): I still despise Joshua & Mitch for U-Turning Martin & Mackey. There was a Yield and I was hoping to use that on them.
Joshua: Excuse me, is there an Air France flight to Lisbon?
Travel agent: Yeah. Connects in Paris.
Joshua: And then a TAP Portugal flight to Luanda from there?
Travel agent: Yes.
Joshua: We want two tickets...Make that four!
Travel agent: That won’t be a problem.
Joshua: For you guys too.
Lee: Thanks!
Mitch: Oh guys, we want to ask you a favor. If by chance you get to the Yield first, do you think you can Yield Bryanna & Keith for us?
Lee: Why? Is there a grudge between you two?
Mitch: Not that big of a grudge. It’s okay if you can’t.
Lee: We’ll try our best.
Lili: Yep.
Lili (conf.): I didn’t want to trust Joshua & Mitch.

Galileo Galilei International Airport:
The three teams got their tickets.
Joshua: Bryanna & Keith must’ve gotten their tickets already.
Mitch: I hope not everyone gets to be on this flight. :groan:
Lili: Do you think it’s smart to waste our Yield power like that?
Lee: For them, yes. Besides, we will still have our U-Turn courtesy of photo.
Bryanna: When Martin & Mackenzie get here, we’ll tell them about this flight. We’ll be able to rest!

Eighth To Depart: 10:54pm
Bilius: Fly to Luanda, Angola...
Alejandro: Travel agency’s on the map. :yess:
Bilius: We’re going to Angola, where is that? Sounds like another country in Europe.
Alejandro: Chances are it is.

Last To Depart: 10:59pm
Mackenzie: We’re last again.
Martin: Fly to Luanda Angola...Caution: Yield Ahead!
Mackenzie: They can’t possibly do that to us again! But they probably will.
Mackenzie (conf.): We made it with the mark last leg. Only few could manage that. Shows how tough we are. :yess:

Travel Agency:
Kathryn: We’d like to know the fastest flight to Luanda, Angola.
Travel agent: Yes. Air France...Would you like them?
Kathryn: Of course.
Travel agent: There’s also Iberia...Which one?
Kathryn: Which one?
Jenna: I’d go with Air France. The earlier, the better.
Kathryn: Not really. We’ll take the Air France flight, please.
Travel agent: There you go.
Later, the last two teams arrived and also found out about the Air France flight, and only that route.
Bilius: Thank you, man.
Mackenzie: Grazie.

Galileo Galilei International Airport:
Jenna: I can’t believe we’re gonna be bunched.
Kathryn: I know, it’s awesome.
They got their tickets and rested. Later, the final two teams arrived and also got their tickets.
Bilius: :yess: We’re all together now!
Alejandro: Finally!
Bryanna: Hey, Martin & Mackey. :jumpy:
Mackenzie: Oh my god! Yay! :jumpy:
Bryanna: What flight did you get?
Mackenzie: We get the one departing 12:45am, the Air France one. And then we will get the TAP Portugal one.
Bryanna: Don’t get that one! We have this flight departing later but arriving the same time! (She showed them the tickets.)
Bilius: That is nice.
Bryanna: :groan:
Mackenzie: Thanks for helping, Bryanna.
Bryanna: Anytime, Mackey. ;D
Bilius & Alejandro and Martin & Mackenzie got the other flight.

Phil: All teams are now on one of two flights to Luanda, Angola. The Air France flight, carrying Holly & Gabrielle, Lionel & Debra, Penelope & Kristine, Lili & Lee, Joshua & Mitch, and Jenna & Kathryn, departs at 12:45am, stops in Paris, connects in Lisbon with a TAP Portugal flight, and arrives in Luanda at 5:50am the day after that. The Iberia flight, carrying Bryanna & Keith, Bilius & Alejandro, and Martin & Mackenzie, departs at 12:45pm, stops in Madrid, connects in Lisbon with a different TAP Portugal flight, and arrives in Luanda at 5:50am as well.

Quatro de Fevereiro Airport:
All the teams, the two groups exiting on different planes, rushed to the parking lot to find their car. Orders of finding it were...Penelope & Kristine, Jenna & Kathryn, Holly & Gabrielle, Lili & Lee, Joshua & Mitch, Martin & Mackenzie, Bryanna & Keith, Lionel & Debra, and Bilius & Alejandro.
Penelope: Yes! First in!
Jenna: Show them your driving skills, Kat! We’re finally in the front!! :wohoo:
Holly: Darn it! Let’s hit it! And oh hey at all the all girl teams reaching their cars first. :hearts:
Lee: Go, Lili! Keep it straight, as it is straight on.
Mitch: We might be able to Yield the oldies, Mr. Anderson.
Mackenzie: Sugar bunnies! We’re still kind of last. Bryanna! Keith! Here!
Bryanna: Oh my god the businessmen already left...
Debra: Sorry honey, for going the wrong way...I hope no one Yields us...And how did the elder teams and BilAl manage to arrive at the same time?!
Bilius: Crap! How can we still be last?!

Hospital Josina Machel-Maria Pia:
Jenna: STOP!!
Kathryn: Is it this?
Jenna: Yeah, I see the nurse!
Kathryn: Now...1,000 Kwanzas! ;D And 18 more for the children.
Jenna: We don’t know if it’s either too much or too little, but please, use them for the sick.
Kathryn: And to make it fitting, we choose to Yield no one!
Jenna: Oh my god Kat, we’re first! :jumpy: Drive to Mussulo and retrieve your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now drive to the beach of Mussulo.


Jenna: Hurry!
Two minutes later...
Penelope: So...1,000 Kwanzas.
Kristine: I feel bad for them. Can we donate like, a hundred more?
Penelope: Let’s!
Kristine (conf.): I am so glad I get to donate for the hospital.
Kristine: Should we Yield?
Penelope: Do you?
Kristine: No. Drive to Mussulo.
Holly: 1,000 Kwanzas, here you go!
Nurse: Here is your next clue.
Gabrielle: Now...Yield... :snicker:


Holly: No surprise! :neener:
Gabrielle: Revenge is sweet, sweeter if long delayed, like success!
Holly: Drive to Mussulo.
Gabrielle: At least we get to have our revenge.
Lili: Lee, let’s donate, 1,111 Kwanzas!
Lee: I don’t see how can that be lucky... :duno:
Lili: Not to be lucky, but generous!
Lee: Ooh...Someone got Yielded.
Lili: I see a fight coming soon...
Mitch: Oh, someone already used the Yield.
Joshua: Well...I guess they live to see another day.
Six minutes later...
Mackenzie: Phew, BilAl got Yielded.
Martin: Poor them. But it must be karma.
Bryanna: :hearts: Can we donate more money?
Six minutes later...
Lionel: They’re not gonna be happy.
Debra: Okay, let’s donate 2,000!
Lionel: Is that too much?
Debra: For them, it’s a blessing! ;D
Bilius: AW! We got Yielded!
Alejandro: No way! (They flipped the hourglass.)
Bilius: This is really bad right now.
Alejandro: And we’re already last... :groan:
Bilius (conf.): The volleyball players are really mean. Think they can use their flirting ability to get them first. And worst of all, they want to be treated better than the rest of us! What is that about?

Mussulo:
Kathryn: This must be it.
Jenna: Is this Mussulo?
A local nods.
Jenna: Okay...
Kathryn: There’s our clue......Detour! Oar or Shore!
Phil: A Detour is a task, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams have to do common activities on the beach. Oar or Shore!

In Oar, teams must get on a marked boat and row towards a marked buoy and retrieve their next clue. The buoys are at different distances so teams must decide carefully if it is worth it to row far for their clue, as it may be physically exhausting.

In Shore, teams must dig around a marked area for a box. Among the boxes dug in the area, only nine of them contain clues. This task requires luck and a lot of digging, but teams with the strength and perseverance may find it easier.


Jenna: Which one should we do?
Kathryn: I would say the faster option, which is Oar, but I don’t know how to row a boat.
Jenna: Neither do I.
Kathryn: Should we do Shore?
Jenna: Yes. We’ll do Shore!
Kristine: There it is! I see the hairdressers!
Penelope: Detour! Oar or Shore!
Holly: Detour! Oar or Shore!
Gabrielle: I think with Oar, we can be first.
Holly: I think we’re better diggers, though.
Kristine: We’re doing Oar.
Gabrielle: We’re gonna do Shore.
Lee: There’s our clue!
Lili: Detour! Oar or Shore.
Lee: Hm...Shore seems to be the better option.
Lili: Yeah. We’re doing Shore.
The teams doing Shore started digging while Penelope & Kristine are learning how to row.
Kristine: Are you ready?
Penelope: Wish us luck.
Holly: Ah ha!
Gabrielle: Is it?
Holly: Doh, no.
Jenna: Wrong...
Lee: This might be harder than I thought.
One team completes the Detour first, followed closely by another.
Penelope: Someone got it.
Gabrielle: :yess:
Jenna: Kat, I found one!
Kathryn: Holly & Gabrielle got one too.
Holly: Drive yourselves to the next Pitstop! Kissama National Park!
Phil: This vast game reserve held a program called Noah’s Ark to reintroduce elephants and other animals to Angola after the war that wiped the parks out, and now, it is the Pitstop in this leg of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.


Jenna: Hurry the last team to arrive may be eliminated.
Kathryn: I can’t believe we’re actually the second ones out!
Lifeguard: Oh! Wait, are you Gabrielle, the professional volleyball player?
Gabrielle: Uh, no, I’m Holly!
Lifeguard: No, she’s Holly...Holly McPeak!
Holly: Uh, I’m Lucia! Let’s just go!
Gabrielle: He better not stop us!
The two teams drove off.
Kristine: We’re almost there, sis.
Joshua: There’s the clue box!
Mitch: Great...Detour! Oar or Shore!
Joshua: I think we should do Oar.
Mitch: Oar it is!
Kristine: Got it!
Penelope: Now we row back!
Martin: Detour! Oar or Shore!
Bryanna: Mackey! What do you think?
Mackenzie: We’re thinking Oar!
Bryanna: OAR!? Are you sure?
Mackenzie: Yes!
Keith: If it’s easy, then okay.
Lee: I found it!
Lili: Make your way to the next Pitstop!
Kristine: Thank you sir.
Penelope: Pitstop! Woohoo!
Mitch: I got it!
Joshua: Now we need to turn back.
Mackenzie: They got it...
Bryanna: We never row a boat at this age! Old times, yes! But now we’re old!
Martin: We’re farmers! We have ducks, fishes...and a boat!
Mackenzie: You guys take the nearest flag, we’ll take the one after it.
Keith: Thanks, guys.

Hospital Josina Machel-Maria Pia:
Bilius: Done!
Alejandro: Make your way to Mussulo!
Bilius: We really have to hurry.

Mussulo:
Joshua: Drive yourselves to the next Pitstop!

On their way to Kissama National Park:
Mitch: Oh look, Penelope & Kristine are there.
Kristine: Sis, the businessmen are behind us.
Penelope: Oh no. The problem is, our gas is running out.
Kristine: You’re kidding me.
Joshua attempted to overtake Penelope & Kristine.
Penelope: Crap!
Kristine: It’s okay. I’d rather slow down then waste all the gas to become last.
Mitch: Good job! Now speed ahead!
Penelope: I lost sight of them.

Mussulo:
Lionel: Detour! Oar or Shore!
Debra: OAR!
Lionel: Oar it is!
Mackenzie: Thank you, dear!
Martin: Drive yourselves to the next Pitstop! Kissama National Park!
Lifeguard: Here is your next clue.
Keith: Thank you.
Bryanna: Mackey, we know where it is! Follow us!
Mackenzie: We know where it is too!
Debra: This’ll be a piece of cake!

On their way to Kissama National Park:
Penelope: This thing just keeps slowing down. I’m so scared teams will overtake us.
Kristine: I think one is coming...No, two.
Keith: Do you think you can overtake them?
Bryanna & Keith and Martin & Mackenzie overtook Penelope & Kristine.
Penelope: Great, we were fourth out, and now three overtook us! (:
Kristine: That makes us seventh. Oh no. :groan:

Mussulo:
Lifeguard: Here is your next clue.
Lionel: Pitstop!

On their way to Kissama National Park:
Jenna: Kat, you always manage to overtake cars, try it now so that we have a good chance to be in first place.
Kathryn: Hm...I will try.
Kathryn attempted to overtake Holly & Gabrielle.
Gabrielle: Holly, they’re trying to overtake you.
Holly: Oh no they won’t...
Kathryn kept trying to overtake them, finally having a success.
Jenna: :wohoo: :hearts: :tup:

Kissama National Park-Pitstop:
‘RUN!!’
‘Quick, girl, we might be able to catch up to them!’
‘Oh, shoot!’
‘FASTER!’
‘FASTER!’
‘I MADE IT!!’ The first team to charge arrived first.

Greeter: Kiambote! Welcome to Luanda, Angola.
Gabrielle: Thank you...
Jenna: Thanks...
Phil: In a tight footrace...Jenna & Kathryn, you, are team number 1!!
Kathryn: :jumpy: WE DID IT!!
Jenna: Oh my gosh! Kat, we actually DID IT!!
Phil: As winners of this leg of the race you have won a trip for two from Travelocity to...South Africa!
Jenna: Better than nothing!
Kathryn: Oh well! :lol:
Phil: You will enjoy your stay in a cooled hotel, you will enjoy a safari trip, you will enjoy duning in the sands. And much more! You will also have cold drinks and local delicacies. All courtesy of Travelocity.
Kathryn: Now that’s worth it! :lol:
Phil: That means Holly & Gabrielle, you, are team number 2.
Holly: It’s okay.
Gabrielle: We already have our glories anyway.
Phil: Jenna, I can see you feel extremely happy to finally get out of the bottom group and from there, emerge in first place!
Jenna: SO happy for that!
Phil: Bad thing is, you can’t pull a Zabrina & Joe Jer.
Jenna: We can pull an improved Zabrina & Joe Jer. :funny:

Mussulo:
Bilius: Detour! Oar or Shore!
Alejandro: Isn’t it obvious? Shore!
They started digging.

Kissama National Park-Pitstop:
‘Where’s Phil? I can’t find him. This must be the park.’
‘Yeah...’
‘Hm...’
‘Oh, there he is.’ They step onto the mat.
Phil: Lili & Lee, you, are team number...3!
Lili: :jumpy:
A minute later, a team arrives.
‘Yeah!’
Greeter: Kiambote! Welcome to Luanda, Angola.
Phil: Joshua & Mitch, you, are team number...4!
Joshua: A job well done, Mr. Morris.
Mitch: Even if I do say so myself, Mr. Anderson.
Phil: It seems to me this team is an upper half team. But as the race moves on to its crucial point, your luck might decrease.
Joshua: But it won’t, we promise.

Mussulo:
Lifeguard: Good job.
Bilius: Kissama National Park.
Alejandro: I am very sure we are last. :groan:

Kissama National Park-Pitstop:
‘Let’s go! Yay!’
‘We are doing so well.’
‘Hey, don’t forget us!’
‘Oops, sorry!’
‘It’s okay. ;D’ The two teams step on the mat, the first one to go for Phil arrived first.
Greeter: Kiambote! Welcome to Luanda, Angola.
Mackenzie: Gracias? :lol:
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie, you, are team number 5!
Martin: Good job!
Keith: Yay!
Phil: Bryanna & Keith, you, are team number 6!
Bryanna: :jumpy:
Phil: It seems to me that the old teams are back in action!
Bryanna: We’ve reunited!
Phil: But do you think at crunchtime, at the crucial point of the race, that you’ll separate?
Bryanna: I hope not, do you, guys?
Martin & Mackenzie: NO!!
Two minutes later, another team arrived.
‘I do hope we’re not last.’ They step onto the mat.
Phil: Penelope & Kristine, you, are team number......7!
Penelope: Kristine, gosh, we fell far behind.
Kristine: We’re just unlucky, that’s all.
Phil: Do you think you can pull a Zabrina & Joe Jer?
Kristine: Right now we seem to be doing it. Let’s not get arrogant, though.
Three minutes later, another team arrives.
‘Yay! :jumpy: Glad to see Phil again!’
‘I hope this isn’t our last time to see him face to face.’ They step onto the mat.
Greeter: Kiambote! Welcome to Luanda, Angola.
Phil: Lionel & Debra...
Debra: Uh huh?
Phil: You are team number.................................8!
Debra: Phew...
Lionel: Close one...
Phil: You fell pretty far behind.
Debra: Because of one tiny mistake. Shows how much we need to be careful and observant to stay in the race.
The last team arrived.
Bilius: Hurry, Al! You slowpoke!
Alejandro: WHAT!? I’ve been carrying your bag and mine!
Bilius: Kidding! Can’t take a joke, can’t you.
Greeter: Kiambote! Welcome to Luanda, Angola.
Bilius: It’s scorching hot...I swear, they better install air-conditioners in this place!
Phil: Bilius & Alejandro, you are the ninth team to arrive, and also the last.
Alejandro: We know. We got Yielded by jerks.
Phil: I’m sorry to say you’re eliminated from the race.
Bilius: We’re not gonna cry.
Alejandro: I don’t find the point of bringing that up.

Alejandro (conf.): The race, for me, was a trip of a lifetime. I’ve never had a trip to another country except Mexico, which we don’t visit now because of the swine flu chaos. And it’s an honor that my first trip to a foreign country is on Canada...on Sweden...on Poland...on Italy...on Angola, which is in Africa! It’s wonderful!
Bilius (conf.): We made it past two eliminations at least, we didn’t fail the New Mexico residents, except the winning part...Besides, we got Yielded, we’re bound to lose!
Alejandro (conf.): But overall, we have no regrets. Except for the fact we’re gonna have to go back to our stupid small apartment.

*End of Episode 6: Revenge Is Sweet, Sweeter If Long Delayed, Like Success! - Gabrielle*

[Raymond]

Penelope & Kristine pwning again <333333

ETA: Boo at the Angola leg. Penelope & Kristine were robbed. At least Jenna & Kathryn got to shine <333333333333333333333333333333.

Episode 7: There's A Cupid In Dubai

Phil: Previously on RealShowFan’s the Amazing Race...Teams fly to Luanda, Angola, Africa.
Gabrielle: Fly to Luanda, Angola via Galileo Galilei International Airport in Pisa.
Penelope: We’re finally leaving Europe.
Phil: At their first clue, already there was a warning for them all.
Gabrielle: Caution: Yield Ahead!!!
Mitch: We will totally Yield someone if we can!
Mackenzie: They can’t possibly do that to us again!
Phil: After legs of being apart from each other, all teams were bunched at Angola.
Jenna: I can’t believe we’re gonna be bunched.
Kathryn: I know, it’s awesome.
Bilius: :yess: We’re all together now!
Alejandro: Finally!
Phil: Teams donated to the hospital.
Kristine (conf.): I am so glad I get to donate for the hospital.
Lili: Lee, let’s donate, 1,111 Kwanzas!
Lee: I don’t see how can that be lucky... :duno:
Lili: Not to be lucky, but generous!
Phil: While a team was given a sort of hospitality.
Gabrielle: Revenge is sweet, sweeter if long delayed, like success!
Bilius: AW! We got Yielded!
Alejandro: No way!
Phil: Some teams preferred to be wet.
Kristine: We’re doing Oar.
Mitch: Oar it is!
Bryanna: OAR!? Are you sure?
Phil: While teams would rather dig for boxes.
Gabrielle: We’re gonna do Shore.
Lee: Hm...Shore seems to be the better option.
Lili: Yeah. We’re doing Shore.
Phil: On their way to Kissama National Park, Penelope & Kristine’s car slowed down, risking their place in the race.
Penelope: Crap!
Kristine: It’s okay. I’d rather slow down then waste all the gas to become last.
Penelope: I lost sight of them.
Phil: In the end, Jenna & Kathryn pulled a seemingly miraculous win.
Phil: In a tight footrace...Jenna & Kathryn, you, are team number 1!!
Kathryn: :jumpy: WE DID IT!!
Phil: And because of the Yield, Bilius & Alejandro were eliminated.
Phil: I’m sorry to say you’re eliminated from the race.
Bilius: We’re not gonna cry.
Phil: Now eight teams remain! Who will be eliminated next?

Phil: This is Luanda, the capital and largest city of Angola. This city, being the country’s head seaport and administrative center, is the home of Kissama National Park. This game reserve aiming to help protect wildlife is the fifth Pitstop in a race around the world! Teams arrived here at the end of last leg for a mandatory rest period. Will Jenna & Kathryn keep their newfound win? Will there be any tensions rising between teams? Can Lionel & Debra, after the first few legs of being in a safe position, avoid last place? Can either Joshua & Mitch, Penelope & Kristine, or the old teams finally manage a win? Jenna & Kathryn, who were the first to arrive at 6:52am, will depart at 6:52pm.

First To Depart: 6:52pm
Kathryn: Fly to Dubai, United Arab Emirates! Oh wow!
Phil: Teams must now go to Dubai, one of the seven emirates and the most densely inhabited city of United Arab Emirates.

Phil: Once there, they must grab a marked car and drive to the Grand Mosque where your next clue awaits.


Kathryn: Ooh look at this!
Jenna: What?
Kathryn: Caution: Intersection Ahead!
Phil: This is the first Intersection of the race. When there’s an Intersection, two teams must join forces as one and complete tasks together until they’re told that they can be separated.


Kathryn: Kewl.
Jenna: Let’s go, then!

Second To Depart: 6:53pm
Holly: Fly to Dubai!! :wohoo:
Gabrielle: :yess: This is better than Padova or Stockholm!
Holly: Intersection! Oh no, our faith lies on losers now. :groan:

Jenna: Go, Kat!
Kathryn: By the way, do you think we should team up with Holly & Gabrielle. We have a better chance at getting ahead with them.
Jenna: How do you know? :groan:
Kathryn: Um...They got two first places, duh?
Kathryn (conf.): We were shocked by our win last leg.
Jenna (conf.): We got the recognition of the lifetime. :lol: Too bad it’s over. Time to pass the reign...
Jenna: Quatro de Fevereiro is not this near, Kat. So there might be a long drive ahead of you!

Third To Depart: 6:59pm
Lee: Fly to Dubai-DUBAI!?
Fourth To Depart: 7:00pm
Mitch: :yess: We can start business there with the million dollars!
Joshua: Isn’t it too early to think about that?
Mitch: Caution: Intersection Ahead!

Lee: Intersection! We can team up with the businessmen!
Mitch (whispering to Joshua): Whenever we get the chance, we must Intersect with Holly & Gabrielle or Lionel & Debra, there’s a better chance for us to be first with them.
Joshua nodded.
Joshua (conf.): We have eight teams left. Half of them have won at least a leg, the other half hasn’t won. The teams that haven’t won are the Tanners, Mr. & Mrs. Knowles, Mr. & Mrs. Prince, and ourselves.
Mitch (conf.): And if you think smartly, you will notice that all their surnames except ours are the same. Whereas those who have won a leg have different surnames. You know what that means!
Joshua (conf.): THIS IS A FLUKE!!
Mitch (conf.): We have a big chance of winning this leg, or at least, the next new team to enjoy a first place finish! :lol:

Fifth To Depart: 7:02pm
Mackenzie: Fly to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Sixth To Depart: 7:02pm
Keith: Caution: Intersection Ahead!!

The four elder people looked at each other, extremely excited.
Bryanna (conf.): We thought we have this in the bag when it comes to the Intersection. We already know who will team up with us. :lol:
Keith (conf.): We thought it would be to our advantage because throughout the legs it seemed like we’re always Intersected! For the other teams, they might have a hard time co-operating one another.
Bryanna: Lead us the way, Mart!

Seventh To Depart: 7:04pm
Kristine: Fly to Dubai, United Arab Emirates! :wohoo:
Penelope: You have $31 for this leg of the race.
Penelope (conf.): This race is starting to get to its bumpy side, which means everyone is in danger now, and that a tiny mistake WILL cost you!
Kristine (conf.): It’s here I think where luck is mostly wanted by most of the teams.
Kristine: We got a replacement car. It appears that the insides of the car wasn’t really maintained well and must be replaced before any accidents happen.
Penelope: We’re lucky we’re still alive.

Last To Depart: 7:09pm
Debra: Caution: Intersection Ahead.
Lionel: We may have a chance to catch up because of flights.
Debra: Yeah, we just need to stay calm.
Debra (conf.): On TV, when one team gets from the top to the bottom, we find it ‘No surprise, you took a wrong train, that’s your problem!’ or that sort. But when you’re really in the race, your thought changes to ‘How did they get here so fast!?’.

Travel Agency:
Kathryn: Should we stop by?
Jenna: Nah, we’ll find our flight in the airport.
Holly: There’s the travel agency.
Gabrielle: Good...
Holly: Good evening, people.
Travel agent: How may I help you?
Holly: We’d like the first flight to arrive in Dubai?
Travel agent: Dubai...okay......I believe flights aren’t good this time around.
Holly: Why?
Travel agent: There are no non-stop or direct flights, only connecting ones. The best one I have found is the Lufthansa-Swiss International flights. The Lufthansa flight departs at 9:25pm, stops in Frankfurt, from there you hop on the Swiss International flight, where it has a stop in Zurich and finally arrives in Dubai at 8:50pm the next day.
Holly: Are you sure that’s the best flight?
Travel agent: Positive.
Holly: Gabrielle, are you okay with them?
Gabrielle: They’re gonna catch up, Holly... :groan:
Holly: What’s the seat availability?
Travel agent: I believe there are four seats left.
Holly: Book them for us now, please. ;D
Travel agent: Okay...Thank you!
A few minutes later, a team arrived at the Travel Agency.
Joshua: Mr. Morris, there’s a Travel Agency here.
Mitch: There should be an Internet café at the airport.
Joshua: Okay then.
Lee: Lili, stop! Travel Agency!
Lili: Okay!
Lee: Sir, we would like to know what the earliest flight arriving in Dubai is.
Travel Agent: Oh! Yeah, not too long ago, two beautiful ladies asked about it too.
Lee: That must be Holly & Gabrielle. We’d like to book the same flights as them.
Travel Agent: Okay...If you made it in time, you will get the last two tickets. Good luck!
Lili: Thanks!
Mackenzie: Pull over, honey. There’s a Travel Agency there.
Keith: Look, Travel Agency.
Martin: Hello.
Travel Agent: Hi.
Martin: We want a flight arriving in Dubai.
Travel Agent: Okay...There’s this flight...But all seats may be full.
Mackenzie: Aw...
Keith: Can’t you get us on standby or something?
Travel Agent: You can go to the airport for that. Come again!
Bryanna: We’re leaving the country, we don’t have to come again.
Later, Penelope & Kristine arrived.
Kristine: Should we stop? I think no, let’s go.
Lionel & Debra didn’t notice the Travel Agency.

Quatro de Fevereiro Airport:
Jenna: This is it!
Kathryn: Internet access...Internet access...
They took time finding the Internet café, Holly & Gabrielle entered the airport.
Gabrielle: Shh, they’re there. Let’s sneak to the counter.

Lufthansa Counter:
Gabrielle: Hello!
Counter worker: Yes?
Holly: We booked two tickets to Frankfurt. Holly McPeak and Gabrielle Reece. ;D
Counter worker: Ahh okay......Here are your tickets. Safe trip!
Holly: :yess: Now let’s sneak off!

Joshua & Mitch arrived.
Mitch: Internet café hm...

Internet Café:
Jenna: Okay so we search Expedia...We need the flight to Dubai...
Kathryn: Please, please, please...Sort by arrival time...There...Lufthansa connects in Frankfurt, and then another Lufthansa flight to Dubai. Fine with me, since that’s the earliest.
Jenna: We should search for more.

Lili & Lee, Martin & Mackenzie, and Bryanna & Keith arrived. Lili & Lee got to the counter first.

Lufthansa Counter:
Lili: Ma’am, we booked tickets to Frankfurt. Our names are Liliana Chan and Manny Lee.
They received their tickets. The old teams arrived at the counter.
Bryanna: This is so tiring.
They found out that there are still no seats available.
Keith: We need to search for another flight.
Counter worker: The next flight for a connection to another flight to Dubai is this Lufthansa flight departing at 9:30pm, also arrives at Frankfurt, but a little later. From there you can either take another Lufthansa flight to Dubai which arrives at 10:55pm or the Emirates flight which arrives at 11:35pm, all tomorrow.
Martin: There are no other choice. :duno:
At that point, Jenna & Kathryn arrived at the counter and Penelope & Kristine arrived at the airport, looking for familiar faces, they eventually found them as well. They all got tickets to Frankfurt. A few minutes later, Joshua & Mitch got the same tickets while Lionel & Debra went to the Internet café, and then also got the same tickets.

Phil: All teams are now on three different routes to Dubai. Holly & Gabrielle and Lili & Lee got on the first Lufthansa flight, with a connection in Swiss International Airlines, which they both made it, arriving in Dubai at 8:50pm the next day. The rest boarded the second Lufthansa flight. Jenna & Kathryn, Penelope & Kristine, and Lionel & Debra managed to board on the Lufthansa flight arriving in Dubai at 10:55pm. Joshua & Mitch, Martin & Mackenzie, and Bryanna & Keith boarded the Emirates flight arriving in Dubai at 11:35pm.

Dubai International Airport:
Holly & Gabrielle found the cars before Lili & Lee.
Holly: Here’s hoping for a third win, my friend.
Lee: Shoot!
Lili: There will be an Intersection, Lee.

Grand Mosque:
Gabrielle: We’re here first.
Holly: But it looks like we’re gonna have to Intersect with Lili & Lee. We have no choice. :duno:
Lee: Phew! Guys, do you want to Intersect with us?
Gabrielle: Like do we have a choice?
Holly: Just read the clue!
Lili: Make your way on foot to Bastakia Quarter!
Phil: Teams must now walk to Bastakia Quarter and search for their next clue.


Holly: Do you have a map?
Lee: Of course...It’s not on the map...
Lili: God, give us a break.
Holly: It looks like we’re asking for directions then.
The two teams started asking for directions, mainly Lili & Lee.
Lili (conf.): Holly & Gabrielle are a pain to work with. They were not worth it.
:groan:

Bastakia Quarter:
Lee: I see it!
Gabrielle: Finally!
Lee: Detour! By Wind-Power or By Resting!
Phil: A Detour is a task, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams must choose between two ways of saving energy. Their choice: By Wind-Power or By Resting.

In By Wind-Power, teams must go to this area and transport water to this energy-generating machine. This turbine will spin and spin when water is thrown in, conducting electricity. An ammeter is attached to it to measure the flow of electricity. If the ammeter reaches a certain point, they’ll receive their next clue. Althought this task shows how to save energy with an underwater demonstration of wind-power, which is what the Bastakia Quarter uses, this task is physically tiring and teams without the strength may find themselves gasping for air.

In By Resting, teams must enter the galleries and find this part of a picture depicted on the clue. If they find it, they must take a picture of the whole picture and give it to the man with their next clue. This task isn’t restful at all. In fact, it could be just as tiring. But teams with an eye for detail may find themselves quickly resting at the Pitstop.


Gabrielle: We have all the time in the world. I say By Resting.
Lili: If you say so.
Lee: We’re doing By Resting.
Gabrielle: We need to find this thing here.
Holly: First of all we need to find the galleries.
The Intersected teams searched around for a gallery, eventually finding one.
Lili: Look carefully, guys...
Gabrielle: We know, okay? Just concentrate.
Lili: Hm...
Lili (conf.): Holly & Gabrielle are really big, not being offensive, suckers. They’re just lucky the two teams that hate them the most are gone, Jenneco & Samantha and Bilius & Alejandro.
Lee (conf.): Don’t trash them, Lili. We might be next. The curse may be working.
Lili (conf.): :res:
It took them a long while to find it.
Lili: We got it! (She took a picture.)
Holly: Where’s the clue giver?
Lee: I think we passed by him while going here.
Gabrielle: Should’ve taken note of him, guys. :groan: :res: :groan:
They eventually found him.
Man: Here is your next clue.
Lili: ÔßÑÇ!
Holly: Drive to the mall of Wafi City...
Phil: The Intersected teams must now drive to Wafi City, where they will find their next clue at the entrance.


Gabrielle: We’ll follow you guys!
Lili: We didn’t even say we know where it is.
Lee: It’s here, Lili. Let’s go!
Lili: Okay...

Wafi City:
Lee: This must be it!
Holly: Gosh...Cool...
Gabrielle: It’s like modern Egypt! :hearts:
Gabrielle (conf.): The mall was so cool! It was like a shopping center crossed with a pyramid from Egypt! :lol: I was so tempted to shop there with all our money. :funny:
Lee: There’s our clue...
Gabrielle: Give it to me!
Lee: Okay, okay!
Gabrielle: Roadblock! Who wants to take in the culture?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member must perform. In this Roadblock, one team member from each team still has to perform, so two people will have to complete a Roadblock together. Their task is to enter Wafi City and find this food shop --- Wafi Gourmet. Once there, they must eat the local cuisine, which are...Camel Meat, Al Jabab Bread, and drink Camel Milk before receiving their next clue.


Lili: It must be two people.
Holly: We know that. :res:
Gabrielle: I’ll do it for our team!!
Holly: Are you sure? This would be your third.
Gabrielle: But I just want to enter Wafi City! It looks so...cool... :colors
Holly: Okay then, Gabrielle’s doing it.
Lili: And I am doing it for our team.
Gabrielle: I think it’s gonna be hard now. :groan:
Lili: WHAT!?
Gabrielle and Lili read the task.
Gabrielle: Oh my god! My luck ran out! Urg!!
Lili: Why are you looking at me? I did nothing!

Wafi Gourmet:
Lili and Gabrielle argued a lot until they found the food shop.
Lili: Wow...Hopefully we’ll eat candies.
Gabrielle: :res: The clue specifically said we are eating meat, camel, I mean bread, and milk. Sounds nice, until you add ‘camel’ in front of each word.
Lili: :groan: Let’s find where will we eat.
Lili (conf.): Suddenly there were two waiters, who took us to a room. And in that room were four tables for two. And then the waiters gave us the food and drink. :groan:
They started eating.

Wafi City:
Holly: I hope they’re doing well.
Lee: I just can’t imagine Lili vomiting...
Holly: Gabrielle probably wants to quit it.
Lee: Where do you think the other teams are?
Holly: They must’ve got a really later flight. :duno:

Wafi Gourmet:
Gabrielle: This...is...disgusting...
Lili: You said it, no offense to you Arabic guys...
Gabrielle: Are you kidding? I can’t imagine how these guys could live eating these!
One of the waiters dropped their jaw, apparently he knows English.
Gabrielle: Oh my god...Bucket...bucket...
The waiter who dropped his jaw didn’t give her the bucket. Another waiter gave to Gabrielle too late and some of those vomit reached the ground. Lili closed her eyes shut at that sight.
Lili (conf.): It not’s that bad, and of course it’s not that good, but the term camel really doesn’t sound appetizing. Not to mention the vomiting.
It took a long while until Lili finished eating hers, and she finished the camel milk.
Lili: Go Gabrielle. (Gabrielle wasn’t even half done.)
Gabrielle struggled a lot.
Gabrielle: Help me finish it...
Lili: What!? I already finished my portion! Eat your food!
Gabrielle: You’re in no way...allowed...Uh, this is so sick...If you won’t help me, I’m afraid I’ll have to quit.
Lili: That is so not fair!
Gabrielle: Sorry, it’s just too much...
Lili: This is really hard to watch.
Gabrielle (conf.): I was really struggling at the Roadblock. Big mistake on my part. I decided to let Lili help me if she wanted to get it done as well.
Lili: This is so unfair.
Lili started eating Gabrielle’s food too. Eventually they finished it, Lili taking up most of them.
Lili: I hope this Intersection’s over...

Wafi City:
Lee: There they are!
Holly: :jumpy: How was it?!
Gabrielle: Okay...not good...vomited a lot...
Holly: Oh...
Lee: How was the Roadblock?
Lili (whispering): Terrible. Gabrielle made me eat her food as well.
Lee (whispering): Oh gosh really? That’s really cruel.
Holly: You have reached the end of the Intersection! Now separate and drive to Dubai Court for your next clue.
Phil: The un-Intersected teams must now drive 2 kilometers to Dubai Court. It’s here where teams will find their next clue.


Holly: Hurry!
Lee: Shoot, they’re going!
Lili: Let’s overtake them.

Dubai International Airport:
The 10:55pm flight arrived and the order of finding their car is...Lionel & Debra, Jenna & Kathryn, and Penelope & Kristine.
Debra: The Grand Mosque is here...Turn right at the second turn.
Lionel: Gotcha!
Jenna: Good thing we made it to that flight, huh?
Kathryn: Yeah. Close one! :lol:
Jenna: Shoot, Lionel & Debra are out of sight.
Kristine: We’re now going to the Grand Mosque.

Dubai Court:
Lee: :yess:
Lili: Make your way to the next Pitstop! Dubai Museum at Al Fahidi Fort!
Phil: This museum, originally a defense against foreign invasion, then a palace, then a museum, is the Pitstop in this leg of the race. The last team to check-in here, may be eliminated.


Lili: To be sure you’re near Phil, look for a dhow. What’s a dhow?
Lee: Quick!
Holly: Oh shoot.
Gabrielle: Make your wour way to the next Pitstop!
Holly: We cannot be in second again!

Grand Mosque:
The three teams arrived at the Intersection.
Debra: Who wants to team with us?
Kristine: ME!!
Kathryn: ME!
Debra: Sorry, girls, but Kristine screamed first. :duno:
Kristine: Sorry, Kathryn and Jenna!
Kathryn: Oh, you are kidding me!
Jenna: Aw...Now we have to wait for the last flight.
Kathryn: Why must this happen to us.
Debra: Okay so now we need to find Bastakia Quarter.
They asked for directions.

Bastakia Quarter:
Penelope: Guys!! I see it!!
Kristine: Good eye, sis!
Lionel: Detour! By Wind-Power or By Relaxing!
Kristine: You guys choose!
Debra: Okay then. Personally, I think By Wind-Power is the faster option.
Kristine: I think I’ve learned about something like that during Science.
Lionel: We’re doing By Wind-Power.
They started pouring and gathering water, with very little success.

Dubai Museum-Pitstop:
‘There’s Phil! YES!’
‘One, two, three!! :jumpy: ‘ They jumpted onto the mat.

Greeter: ãÑÍÈÇ welcome to Dubai, United Arab Emirates!
Lili: Thanks.
Phil: Lili & Lee, you, are team number......1!!
Lili: Woah! I can’t believe this! :wohoo:
Lee: :yess:
Phil: Now as winners of this leg, you have won a 12.5 foot catamaran each which you can enjoy after the race!
Lili: Ooh...Catamaran...
Lee: Cool! :yess:
Phil: So! Your second win! How are you feeling?
Lee: We are doing so well in this game! We didn’t know we have it in us!
Lili: We will keep pushing ourselves until the very end.

Bastakia Quarter:
Debra: This is so tiring, babe.
Lionel: You can do it.
They made some progress.

Dubai Museum-Pitstop:
‘Well, I bet we lost our lead.’
‘Whatever.’ They stepped onto the mat.
Greeter: Welcome to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Gabrielle: Thank you! It is so beautiful, but I would want to see the popular hotel!!!
Phil: Holly & Gabrielle, you, are team number...2!
Holly: We missed first place again.

Bastakia Quarter:
It took some time until they finally finished the task.
Penelope: Drive to Wafi City. Let’s go!
Kristine: I am very loving Dubai.
Debra: Oh my goodness, it’s almost midnight. :groan:

Dubai International Airport:
The final three teams arrived. Order of finding their cars were Martin & Mackenzie, Bryanna & Keith, and Joshua & Mitch.

Wafi City:
Kristine: I see our clue!
Debra: I see it too!
Kristine: Okay, then...Roadblock! Who wants to take in the culture? One from each team.
Debra: I’ll do it! Hopefully it’s not difficult.
Kristine: You’ll have to do it, sis. I did three, you did one.
Penelope: Okay then. Debra and I are doing it!!
Debra: Okay...Oh my god we need to eat camel meat. :groan:
Lionel: Crap, I’m so sorry, babe.
Debra: I was the one who accepted to do it.
Penelope: Kristine... :snicker:
Kristine: Hey, if I were to do that, we’d be in last place!
Debra: Girls, Hours of Operation on a mall?
Kristine: :lol: In others words, it’s closed. Shoot!
Debra: 10am to 11pm. Great, we just missed it.
Lionel: At least you have a night to think about what to do.
Debra: I will have nightmares, babe.
Penelope: Kristine, let’s not waste money. We can sleep here I guess.
Lionel: We will find a hotel. See you here tomorrow guys! :waves:
Kristine: Oh we’ll be here alright. :lol:
Suddenly a few pairs of people came rushing to the other side of Wafi City and there was another different clue box.
Kristine: Oh my god what was that?
Penelope: Geez...Why is there a clue box there? It looks different from ours. Who are they anyway?
The groups of people also had the same disappointment when they saw the Hours of Operation.
Kristine (whispering): Lol, it looks like they’re racing, like us.
Penelope: Lol yeah. :lol:
Some people left but some stayed behind.

Grand Mosque:
Martin: There is the Intersection.
Jenna: Crap, why them?
Kathryn: They won’t Intersect with us, they’ll stick together as usual.
Jenna: Ah, there’s our partner, Joshua & Mitch.
Mitch: Darn it, how can we be last?
Kathryn: You’re with us!
Joshua: Wow, you guys are also last.

Bastakia Quarter:
Mitch: Detour! By Wind-Power or By Resting!
Mackenzie: We’re definitely doing By Resting.
Mitch: Let’s do By Wind-Power.
Jenna: Fine with me.
The two Intersected groups started on the Detour.

Wafi City:
One of the pairs were whispering to each other and looking at Penelope & Kristine, who were feeling extremely tired and sleepy.
Kristine: What the heck are they doing, they are talking about us.
Penelope: Who cares, I just want to sleep for the night.
Suddenly, one of the guys who was chatting just now stood up and walked towards them.
Guy: Yo, who might you be?
Kristine: Why’re you asking us? We were wondering the same thing about you.
Guy: Oh, we can’t tell you. It’s secret. :snicker:
Kristine: Haha, don’t tell me you’re a part of ‘The Amazing Race’ because I can see the cameramen.
Guy: Eh? How the hell d’you know?
Kristine: You’re from the Amazing Race?
Penelope: The real Amazing Race!? The one my sister talks about?!
Guy: We’re not from the real Amazing Race, we’re from Zachary’s The Amazing Race.
Kristine: Never heard of that. :duno: We’re from RealShowFan’s The Amazing Race.
Guy: We don’t know that.
Penelope: So... What brings you here?
Guy: Same thing as you!
Penlope: Oh? I mean why did you approach us?
Guy: Erm well...I’ll put it this way...I came across something endearing and I ended up finding you.
Penelope: Wow, thanks. :flirt:
Kristine:
Kristine (conf.): :lol: Oh wow! There’s a cupid in Dubai! It came out real sudden.
The two kept flirting with each other while Kristine and the other racers slept.

Bastakia Quarter:
One group finished their Detour first.
Man: Here is your next clue! Good job!
Keith: Thanks!
Bryanna: Drive to Wafi City. Let’s go.
Jenna: Crap, they are finished.
Kathryn: You’re kidding me.
Mitch: Come on, girls! Work!
Mitch (conf.): I was sort of panicking when we were in last. Everything I thought would happen didn’t. Instead, it was the total opposite!!!

Wafi City:
Martin: Roadblock! Who wants to take in the culture? Honey, you have to do it. I did three already out of four.
Mackenzie: Okay then.
Bryanna: And I’ll also do it, so I can help Mackey! ;D
Keith: Okay then.
Mackenzie: Oh no! Hours of Operation! :ascared
Bryanna (whispering): Look, it’s Penelope, and she’s talking to a guy.
Mackenzie (whispering): It looks like they’re having so much fun. I didn’t know she loves Arabian boys.
Bryanna: He doesn’t look Arabian. Will you go to a hotel?
Mackenzie: Should we?
Martin: We don’t have enough money.
Bryanna: We’ll give you some. You don’t have to repay us. ;D
Mackenzie: Really? Oh, thank you, dears.

Bastakia Quarter:
The last group finally finished, they arrived at Wafi City, and both of them also found a hotel. Joshua and Kathryn will do the Roadblock.

Wafi City:
It was morning and the teams arrived at Wafi City, Penelope started talking to the guy again. At 10am the mall opened and all the Roadblockers charged in. One pair found Wafi Gourmet first.
Bryanna: Hurry please. ;D
Mackenzie: Oh wow Bryanna. Can’t you believe it? We’re gonna eat camel meat.
Bryanna: :groan:
Mackenzie: Good luck...
Debra and Penelope arrived and also got their foods and drink.
Debra: This is gonna be nasty.
Penelope: We can do this, Debra.
They all were eating.
Joshua: Kathryn...Kathryn...Kathryn!! Kathryn!!
Kathryn: Where could it be?
Joshua: KATHRYN!!!!!!!
Kathryn: What now!?!
Joshua: Are you sure you’re not overthinking the location?
Kathryn: I’m not! I’m not even sure where it could be!
Joshua: Then why are we freaking walking?
Kathryn: Cause nothing in here’s English!
Joshua: Ugh! :groan:

Wafi Gourmet:
Penelope was the first to finish, just as Joshua and Kathryn found the place.
Joshua: It’s just here!
Kathryn: She’s already finished. Great...
Kathryn (conf.): The Intersection was a pain to me.
Joshua (conf.): Kathryn is so shallow. She is hard to work with. She won’t understand the things you say.
Penelope: Go Debra...You can do it.
Debra: This is really...hard...
Mackenzie: Wahoo!! I’m done! :wohoo:
Bryanna: Haha...Good job...Oh no, I need to vomit.
Mackenzie: Sir, sir, bucket, dear. Here...
Bryanna vomited on the bucket.
Debra: Oh...god...
Kathryn: Oh shoot, that doesn’t look too good...
Joshua: Okay...okay...
Mackenzie: Let me help you.
Bryanna: Thanks...I feel so sick now.
Penelope: Debra, you have that look on your face.
Debra: Bucket...! (She vomited on another bucket.)
Eventually one team finished it first.
Woman: Here is your next clue.
Mackenzie: Thank you.
Bryanna: Let’s go. Thanks for eating most of it, Mackey. ;D
Debra: I’m done!
Joshua: Oh no, Kathryn. :groan:
Kathryn: Shut the hell up. I’m trying my best.
She eventually finished it.

Wafi City:
The other teammates were hopefully waiting.
Keith and Martin: YES!!! :yess:
Bryanna: Don’t touch me please, I feel sick...
Mackenzie: Don’t give up, Bryanna.
Martin: Make your way to Dubai Court.
Kristine: Yes! :yess:
Lionel: Goob job, babe!
Debra: Sorry, babe.
Kristine: At least you’re stil alive! Dubai Court!
Jenna: Oh no. I think Kat screwed it. :groan:
Mitch: I can’t believe we are still last...
The last two finally arrived.
Kathryn: Sorry Jenna. (She began to cry.)
Jenna: It’s okay, don’t cry. Come on, let’s hurry.
Mitch: You have reached the end of the Intersection!
Joshua: Finally!!!

Dubai Court:
Mackenzie: Make your way to the next Pitstop!
Keith: What is a dhow?
Debra: There! I see it!
Penelope: Faster, sis!
Jenna: Oh my gosh...
Mitch: Faster!

Dubai Museum:
Martin & Mackenzie and Bryanna & Keith arrived and split up to search.
‘There’s Phil.’
‘But where’s the dhow?’
‘Guys! It’s here! :waves: ‘
‘Thanks, guys!’ The two teams stepped onto the mat, the team that found Phil first checked in first.
Phil: Bryanna & Keith, you, are team number...3!
Keith: Yay!
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie is team number 4!
Mackenzie: :yess:
The next two teams arrived.
‘Ooh girl I see it.’ They stepped onto the mat.
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number 5.
Debra: :yess: We’re still in it.
Lionel: We are slowly crawling our way back.
‘Oh it’s here! The boat blocked the view!’ They stepped onto the mat.
Phil: Penelope & Kristine, you, are team number...6!
Kristine: Phew!
Penelope: Why in the world are we getting low placements all of a sudden?
Kristine: It all started with a stupid decision. :lol:
The last two teams arrived almost simultaneously.
‘Come on...Where is it?’
‘We cannot be in last!’
‘You said it!’
‘I will be so pissed off if we lose.’
‘I see Phillllll!’ They stepped onto the mat.
Greeter: Welcome to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Phil: Okay......Joshua & Mitch, you, are team number..................7!
Mitch: PHEW!! THAT WAS CLOSE!
Jenna: Oh shoot!! They got it!
Kathryn: No way!
Joshua: Phew...
The last team arrived.
Jenna: What’s a dhow? (The greeter gestured to the boat.) You’re kidding me.
Phil: Jenna & Kathryn, you, are team number.........8.
Jenna: We thought so.
Phil: You are the last team to check in.
Kathryn: This sucks.
Phil: Would you like to be given a second chance?
Kathryn (crying): Well...I wanted a better ending than this. I mean, getting eliminated because we don’t know what a stupid freaking dhow is, it’s just lame.
Jenna (crying): We want a second chance.
Phil: Well......I am sorry to say that you were already given a second chance, and now you’re eliminated.
Jenna & Kathryn hugged each other sobbing.

Kathryn (conf.): This race was a joyful experience. I loved it.
Jenna (conf.): Visiting places you thought you would never be able to visit because you have no money.
Kathryn (conf.): We were already fortunate enough to have been spared elimination in the first leg. Had we not, we’d been eliminated in North America still, that would completely suck. Once more, we won a leg, we had our glory.
Jenna (conf.): Racing with Kat, now that I come to think of it, was a great idea. Not only had I gotten far with her, but I have made a friendship with her.
Kathryn (conf.): Now that our turn in the race has ended, it’s time to move on...as friends.
Jenna (conf.): As friends. ;D (They hugged each other.)

Episode 8: Paintballs Can Leave You Marks!

Phil: Previously on RealShowFan’s The Amazing Race...Teams set off to Dubai.
Lee: Fly to Dubai-DUBAI!?
Gabrielle: :yess: This is better than Padova or Stockholm!
Phil: An Intersection occurred...and there were conflicts about it.
Mitch (whispering to Joshua): Whenever we get the chance, we must Intersect with Holly & Gabrielle or Lionel & Debra, there’s a better chance for us to be first with them.
Phil: Holly & Gabrielle and Lili & Lee received a very huge lead coming to Dubai.
Holly: :yess: Now let’s sneak off!
Phil: It proved to be extremely useful to them as the other teams face an Hours of Operation.
Debra: Girls, Hours of Operation on a mall?
Phil: It gave Lili & Lee a better chance of getting another first place finish.
Phil: Lili & Lee, you, are team number......1!!
Phil: At the Roadblock, the Intersected teams became panicky, sick, and disgusted.
Joshua: KATHRYN!!!!!!!
Kathryn: What now!?!
Bryanna: Oh no, I need to vomit.
Mackenzie: Sir, sir, bucket, dear.
Gabrielle: This...is...disgusting...
Phil: In the end, it all came down to a dhow that got Jenna & Kathryn eliminated.
Jenna: You’re kidding me.
Kathryn: This sucks.
Phil: Seven teams remain, who will be eliminated next?

Phil: This is Dubai, a city full of wonderful jewellery, rich markets, and the home of the famous hotel, Burj Al-Arab. In the city is Dubai Museum. This museum is the sixth Pitstop in a race around the world. Teams arrived here at the end of last leg for a mandatory rest period. Can the other teams catch up to the top two teams, who are about 12 hours ahead? Lili & Lee, who were the first to arrive at 11:16pm, will depart at 11:16am.

First To Depart: 11:16am
Lee: :wohoo: Let’s begin!
Lili: Take an Abra, an Arabic boat, to the other side of Dubai Creek. Once there, find Baniyas Square where your next clue awaits.
Phil: Teams must take an Abra, a form of local transportation, to the other side of Dubai Creek and then find this square for their next clue.


Lee: Let’s go!
Lee (conf.): We didn’t know we have a very huge lead. When the last team arrived, our friend-(is cut off)
Lili (conf.): Your friends.
Lee (conf.): Joshua & Mitch, we only had 16 minutes left!
Lili: You have $10 for this leg of the race.
Lee: This will be fun.
They hopped in an Abra.

Second To Depart: 11:24am
Holly: We’re taking a boat.
Gabrielle: Well, the boat is here.
Gabrielle (conf.): We missed first place for the second time in a row. Oh well, we have a tremendous lead.
Holly (conf.): I never thought of a game as fun as volleyball until now. :lol:

Other side of Dubai Creek:
Lee: We’re here. Taxi!
Lili: I’ll try this on... سيارات الأجرة !
A taxi stopped by.
Lili: Cool. Baniyas Square, please!
Taxi driver: Okay.
Lili (conf.): I’m actually having a lot of fun in this game but I do wonder how are my students doing without me. They’re a noisy bunch, but still.
Holly & Gabrielle arrived.
Holly: Nothing special.
Gabrielle: Taxi!! (She stopped one by blocking the taxi.)
Holly: What did you do that for?
Gabrielle: Taxis normally leave people. :res: Not this time!! Baniyas Square!?
Taxi driver: Okay.

Baniyas Square:
They arrived at Baniyas Square.
Lili: There, sir! (The taxi driver didn’t stop because he didn’t know what she said.)
Lee: Stop it, please. (The taxi stopped after Lee gave him a nudge.)
Lili: Come on...Where are we going to next?
Lee: Fly to Fuzhou, China!!
Phil: Teams must now fly to Fuzhou, China.

Phil: Once there, they must go to this palace to retrieve their next clue.


Lee: You must depart at Dubai International Airport and your final destination should be in Fuzhou Changle International Airport. Once there, take a taxi to Tianfei Palace to retrieve your next clue.
Lili: China...I don’t remember Fuzhou being a cosmopolitan or populous city.
Lee: It has an airport, though. Let’s get our taxi back.
Lili: Dubai International Airport is on the other side of Dubai Creek, but nothing here of taking an Abra back.
Holly & Gabrielle arrived.
Holly: How much?
Taxi driver: 6AED.
Gabrielle: Can you give us a discount? Please!! :flirt:
Taxi driver: Okay, five.
Gabrielle: How about four?
Taxi driver (hesitating): Okay.
Gabrielle: Thank you, sir!
Holly: Fly to Fuzhou, China!
Gabrielle: China? That’s awesome.
Holly: Let’s take the discount taxi again! :lol:

Dubai International Airport:
Lee: Thank you! Bye!
Lili: Now what?
Lee: I have a hunch with an Emirates Airlines.

On their way to Dubai International Airport:
Holly & Gabrielle borrowed a phone and called the airport.
Holly: She said our only option is the Indian Airlines flight which departs at 1:45pm...it will stop in Chennai, where we have to take a Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong, and then a China Eastern Airlines flight to Fuzhou. Will there be enough time to catch the connecting flights? Yes, great! What time will it arrive at Fuzhou? 2pm the next day? Really? Aw...Okay, bye, thank you so much...We have to catch this flight, Gabrielle.
Gabrielle: Okay. :duno:

Emirates Counter:
Lili: Good afternoon!
Counter worker: Good afternoon!
Lili: Do you have any flights to Fuzhou?
Counter worker: Um...Fuzhou?
Lili: China.
Counter worker: I’ll check.........No, both the 10:35 and 11am ones departed.
Lili: Any others?
Counter worker: :duno:
Lili: Thanks anyway.
Lee: Now where do we go?
Lili: Maybe ask for a computer search?
They asked the counter worker and they got to an Internet service area. Holly & Gabrielle arrived. They got their tickets. Lili & Lee got the same flight and tickets. At 1:45pm, their flight departed.

Phil: Holly & Gabrielle and Lili & Lee are on an Indian Airlines flight, with connections in Chennai and Hong Kong, going to Fuzhou.

Third To Depart: 10:51pm
Bryanna: Let’s go!
Keith: Take an Abra...
Fourth To Depart: 10:52pm
Mackenzie: Make your way to Baniyas Square where your next clue awaits.
Fifth To Depart: 10:54pm
Lionel: You have $10 for this leg of the race.
Debra: We can take a taxi, that means?

Keith (conf.): We didn’t know Lili & Lee and the girls are so many hours ahead of us. They’re so lucky.
Bryanna (conf.): But for now we will take care of ourselves and Martin & Mackey.
The three teams boarded the same Abra to the other side of the creek.

Sixth To Depart: 10:58pm
Kristine: Baniyas Square...
Last To Depart: 11:00pm
Mitch: Okay then.
Mitch (conf.): We completely forgot our toothbrush company. We’re doing this race for them but it seemed like we are doing it for ourselves as well. :lol:
Joshua (conf.): They owe us, we’ve gotten this far!!
The two teams boarded the same Abra.
Penelope (conf.): It sucks being at the bottom. We really want to keep playing without being in the verge of elimination.
Kristine (conf.): We are aiming to be extremely careful this leg.

Other side of Dubai Creek:
All teams got taxis, the old teams shared a taxi.

Baniyas Square:
Debra: Fly to Fuzhou, China. China, oh no!!!! :groan: Time for the language barrier to really take in!
Keith: Fly to Fuzhou, China...
Mackenzie: Boy, this will be hard I think.
Kristine: China, yay!!
Penelope: Sis, our taxi’s leaving!! (She stopped the taxi in time.)
Mitch: Fuzhou, China.
Joshua: I’d rather Beijing or Hong Kong.
All teams are on their way to Dubai International Airport. All teams except Penelope & Kristine borrowed a phone.
Debra: Babe, there’s a Cathay Pacific flight to Fuzhou.
Mackenzie: This flight departs at 12am, I think we can catch it.
Joshua: What time does it arrive?
Mitch: It...is scheduled to arrive at 7:05pm tomorrow.
Joshua: Hm...Make sure that’s a good flight.
Kristine: This guy doesn’t have a phone but he said there’s an Internet service area at the airport. We’re trusting him.

Dubai International Airport:
All the teams, even Penelope & Kristine, got the same flight tickets.

Phil: Lionel & Debra, Martin & Mackenzie, Bryanna & Keith, Joshua & Mitch, and Penelope & Kristine, are on a flight of Cathay Pacific, heading to Fuzhou, the flight will arrive at 7:05pm, five hours and five minutes behind of the first flight.

Fuzhou Changle International Airport:
At 2pm, the two teams arrived. Holly & Gabrielle got a taxi first.
Gabrielle: TAXI!!!
Holly: 出租車 ! Did I say it right?
She said it right, as a taxi pulled over.
Lee: 出租車! 李天飛宮!
Taxi driver: 好!
Lee: 謝謝您!
Lee (conf.): I am an American-Chinese and I speak some Chinese, so that will give an additional edge. Lili’s from Malaysia, but she doesn’t speak a lot of Chinese.
Lili (conf.): I am so glad we’re going to China! People are gonna panic!
Holly: Tianfei Palace?
Taxi driver: Tianfei? Okay!
Holly: 謝謝!
Lee: 快速的, 快速的!
Lili & Lee overtook Holly & Gabrielle.
Gabrielle: Dang...Faster, sir! Faster!
The driver didn’t understand.

Tianfei Palace:
Lili: I see the clue box!!
Lee: 主席先生，停車等候! (The taxi stopped.)
Lili: Make your way to Wuyi Square and find your next clue.
Phil: Teams must go to Wuyi Square and find the statue of Mao Zedong, a political figure of China, for their next clue.


Lee: Okay...
Lili: Wuyi Square...
Lee: 五一广场 ?
Taxi driver: Okay.
Gabrielle: Shoot, I just saw them.
Holly: Never mind them...Wuyi Square.

Wuyi Square:
Lee: Stop, sir.
Lili: We are soooo getting first today because of you.
Lee: Oh yeah? Cool!
Lili: Make your way to Yu Hill and find the Lion Stone for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now find this place for their next clue.


Lili: Hurry!
Lee: Okay...Sir! 最好的方式於希爾什麼?
Taxi driver: Hm... 巴士948...
Lee: He said the bus. 謝謝您!
Holly & Gabrielle then arrived.
Gabrielle: There it is!
Holly: Make your way to Yu Hill...

Yu Hill:
Lili: Oh cool! Fast Forward! Make your way to Jinjishan Park...
Phil: This is the second Fast Forward in the entire race. If a team completes a Fast Forward, they can skip all remaining tasks and head directly to the Pitstop. However, a team can only use one Fast Forward so they must find the most suitable time for it. In this Fast Forward, the team must go to Jinjishan Park and get suited for some paintball frenzy. There will be paintballs launched at them as they run towards their clue box. The first team to muscle their way through the painful paintballs to their clue wins the Fast Forward.


Lili: Warning: Paintballs can leave you marks! Think Wisely! Hm...I hate to say this but let’s not go for it. It’s very dangerous.
Lee: Yeah...I’m chickening out of this too...
Lee (conf.): The warning caught me, it was too much at that point. :lol: I watched Amazing Race Asia 3, and boy, they do leave you marks.
Lili: Okay then...Roadblock! Who wants to go on a hunt?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member must perform. In this Roadblock, that team member must climb up the hill and search for a Travelocity Gnome with their clue under it. They must take the gnome along with them to the Pitstop. The gnomes are scattered around the white pagoda on top of the hill.


Lili: Lee’s doing it.
Lee: Hm...Oh, I have to go up the hil...Holly AND Gabrielle will catch up to me.
Lili: Lucky I’m not doing it. :lol: Hurry! (Lee left.)
Ten minutes later, Holly & Gabrielle arrived.
Gabrielle: Fast Forward, we already did that...Roadblock! Who wants to go on a hunt?
Holly: I’ll do it!
Gabrielle: It says here you need to climb up that hill.
Holly: That will take so much time. :groan: See you soon!
Gabrielle and Lili waited, not talking to each other at all.
Lee: Where are you, gnomey?
Holly: If I am fast enough, I might be able to catch up with Lee!
They waited for quite some time, one person managed to reach back down first with a gnome.
Gabrielle: YES!!
Holly: Haha!!
Lili: :groan:
Holly: That was honestly tiring!
Gabrielle: Detour! Monkey Business or Over The Wall?
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams must experience the weird features of Fuzhou. Their choice: Monkey Business or Over The Wall.

In Monkey Business, teams go to Pingshan Park, where they can see monkeys NOT in cages. At the park, they must search for a clue while the monkeys might attempt to prevent them to do so. This needle-in-a-haystack task requires a lot of luck and the monkeys may cause teams to panic. But teams that are cool under pressure may find this monkey business over quick.

In Over The Wall, teams go to Tiantian Restaurant and eat a local food called Buddha Jumps Over The Wall, which is actually a shark fin soup. They must consume the soup in order to receive their next clue. There’s nothing exhausting in this task, but teams that are unable to finish this bizarre local cuisine may find themselves begging to go over the wall.


Gabrielle: Monkey Business, let’s do that!
Gabrielle (conf.): Are you kidding me!? I will not eat a shark after eating a camel!
Holly: If you say so.
Lili: Come on, Lee...
Holly: Pingshan Park? Okay? What?
Taxi driver: Okay!

Pingshan Park:
Taxi driver: Here park.
Holly: Thanks!
Gabrielle: Just wait here.
Holly: Now we need to find a monkey...
Gabrielle: No...We need to find a clue!
Holly: Oh, sorry.

Yu Hill:
Lili: Finally!
Lee: How long did I take?
Lili: Long enough for Holly & Gabrielle have the lead!
Lee: Sorry...I’m so tired...
Lili: Detour! Monkey Business or Over The Wall! Hm...both Detours are gonna be hard.
Lee: I’ve eaten shark fin soup before.
Lili: Really? I’ve eaten one too!
Lee asked a driver which Detour location is closer.
Lee: We can just walk to the restaurant. 謝謝您! ;D
Lili: Where?
Lee: There!

Tiantian Restaurant:
Lili: Over The Wall? Can we have our soup?
They received their soup and started eating.
Lili: This is a lot better than camel meat.
Lee: Let’s eat faster.

Pingshan Park:
Holly: This is hard...
Gabrielle: Check under the slide...
Holly: Nope...
Gabrielle: AHHHH!! (A monkey jumped on her head.) My hair!! There’s a monkey on my hair! AHHH!!!
Gabriele (conf.): I was about to kick that monkey when it got down, or at least strangle it!
The monkey jumped up to a tree.
Holly: So...Not only humans like you? :lol:
Gabrielle: This sucks...

Tiantian Restaurant:
After some time, they’re done.
Waiter: Good job.
Lili: Thank you...Make your way to Fujian Xinhua Bookstore and search for this ‘book’ with your next clue in it.
Phil: Teams must now make their way to this bookstore and find this ‘book’: 極速前進, meaning ‘The Amazing Race’, where their next clue is inside. The ‘books’ are easy to find as they are just on the counter, but teams might overlook it.


Lee: This means The Amazing Race.
Lili: Cool, but that won’t help a bit.
Lee: Oh no, we need a taxi now.
Lili: Okay, we missed that. :groan:
Lee asked how to get to the bookstore, and was told they can walk.
Lili: Good, free transportation. :lol:
Lee: It must be near, then.

Pingshan Park:
Gabrielle: Found it! We need to go to Xinhua Bookstore!
Holly: Okay then, let’s go tell the driver.
Gabrielle: Okay...
Holly: Sir, Fujian Xinhua Bookstore?
Taxi driver: Ahh...Okay!
Holly: And do you know what this means?
Taxi driver: :duno: What?
Holly: Never mind. Just go.

Fujian Xinhua Bookstore:
Lili: This is definitely it.
Lee: Now...
Lili: I will ask the counter worker...
Lee: I’m sure they’re not gonna tell us. :lol:
Lili didn’t see the book.
Lili: Where should we start our search?
Lee: You search at that end, I search at that end.
Lili: Fine with me.
A minute later, Holly & Gabrielle arrived.
Holly: Hm...
Gabrielle: I’m gonna ask the woman what this means.
Holly: They definitely won’t tell us.
Gabrielle: Ma’am, do you know what this means?
The woman shook her head.
Gabrielle: Darn...
Holly: Gabrielle, HERE IT IS! It’s just here!!! :funny:
Holly (conf.): We found it pretty fast, we don’t even know what it means until now!
Gabrielle: Good!
Lili: Eh? They found it?
Lee: Lili! They’re here and they already got it!
Lili: I know!
Holly: Oh, they’re searching there!
Gabrielle: Shoot, let’s hurry! Make your way to the next Pitstop! Travel by taxi to Binfen Park in Minjiang Park and look for a fountain where Phil is waiting.
Phil: Binfen Park, whose outdoor theatre and music fountain and water shows make it a tourist attraction, is the seventh Pitstop of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.


Holly: Faster, Gabrielle!
Lili: It’s just here!
Lee: Binfen Park, if we’re quick enough, we may be able to get first again.
Holly: Sir!! Binfen Park?
Taxi driver: Binfen...
Holly: Park!
Taxi driver: No, Minjiang Park!
Holly: No, Binfen Park!
Taxi driver: Yes, Minjiang Park.
Holly: Fountain? (She gestured water squirting.)
Taxi driver: Hm?
Holly: Binfen Park!
Lili: Taxi!!
Lee: 的士!! Binfen Park?
Taxi driver: Hm! ;D
Lee: He knows! 垮掉的的士!
It’s race to the Pitstop!

Binfen Park-Pitstop:
‘Now...fountain...’
‘I wonder if we will win this leg.’
‘There’s the fountain!’
‘I think we’re overlooking it.’
‘Yay! :jumpy: ‘ They jumped onto the mat.

Greeter: Nî hâo! Welcome to Fuzhou, China! ;D
Lili: Aw...You’re so cute!!
Phil: Where’s the gnome?
Lee: We almost forgot about that. :lol:
Phil: Lili & Lee, you, are team number...1!
Lee: YES!!
Lili: :jumpy:
Phil: As winners of this leg of the race you have won...a trip for two to the Bahamas!
Lili: YES!!
Phil: You will enjoy nights and days in a hotel, you’ll have beach fun and go on trips to see beautiful places and go sightseeing. All courtesy of...
Lili: Travelocity! :jumpy:
Phil: Two in a row!
Lili: We are the best team right now, no doubt!
A few minutes later, Holly & Gabrielle arrived.
Gabrielle: Yay!
Holly: Here’s Mr. Travelocity, Phil!
Phil: Holly & Gabrielle, you, are team number..................2!
Gabrielle: Aww....Come on!
Phil: It seems that your luck is running out!
Holly: We keep getting second! Third time in a row!

Fuzhou Changle International Airport:
At 7:05pm, the rest of the teams arrived. Order of getting a taxi is...Lionel & Debra, Joshua & Mitch, Penelope & Kristine, and Bryanna & Keith and Martin & Mackenzie.

Tianfei Palace:
Debra: I see it...I see it...Make your way to Wuyi Square.
The other teams got the same thing, each taxi two minutes apart.

On their way to Wuyi Square:
Mackenzie: We are so lucky to share a taxi because our money is going down the drain one by one now.
Bryanna: I don’t see any teams in front of us and behind us... :duno:

Wuyi Square:
Lionel: Hurry, babe, the other teams might see us.
Debra: Make your way to Yu Hill and find the Lion Stone for your next clue.
Lionel: Dang it, we’re wasting all our money.
The other teams got the same thing, nothing special.
Lionel: I think we should ask the driver if there is any cheaper form of transportation.
They fail to ask him.

Yu Hill:
Lionel: I see it!
Debra: Great job, babe...Fast Forward!
Lionel: Let’s see what it says...
Debra: Do you think we should take it? Lili & Lee could have gotten it, though.
Lionel: I don’t think so. We should defintiely try it.
Debra: Are you sure?
Lionel: Yes, don’t worry!
Joshua & Mitch arrived at Lionel & Debra went to Jinjishan Park.
Mitch: Fast Forward!!
Joshua: We’re definitely taking it this time!!!
They also went as the old teams arrived.
Keith: Fast Forward...
Bryanna: No, we’re too old for this.
Martin: We will not do it, definitely.
Keith: Roadblock! Who wants to go on a hunt?
Bryanna: Your turn dear!
Martin: Who do you think should do it?
Keith: Well, guys, if it helps you, I have to climb up that hill.
Martin: Well, I guess I’m doing it.
Martin (conf.): I may be old but I can’t let my wife here fall down from that hill!! This task wasn’t meant to be for us.
Penelope & Kristine arrived.
Penelope: I’m doing it!
Kristine: You will climb the hill! Yes! Another good Roadblock choice! :lol:
Penelope: Hm...At least, the better choice!

Jinjishan Park:
Debra: Thank you!
Lionel: This must be it...
While they are suiting up, Joshua & Mitch arrived.
Mitch: We can beat them!
Debra: Oh no babe, we have competition.
Lionel: Don’t worry, you can do this! For me!
Debra: I’ll try...
Joshua & Mitch quickly suited up, but Lionel & Debra started running first.
Mitch: Hurry, it’s a long distance!
Joshua: Let’s go!
Lionel: Come on, Deb!
Debra: Ow...ow...ow...OUCH!! BABE!!
Lionel: You can do this!
Debra (conf.): It was so PAINFUL! I can feel the punching, through my skin, the burning sensation of paintballs, they’re like fireballs, I swear! I was crying my way. The clue box was so far away!
Debra was whining while running, Mitch overtook her.
Debra: THIS SUCKS!
Lionel: I’m coming!
Lionel (conf.): I couldn’t just leave her behind, it hurts me to hear her cry, if I felt a lot of pain, I wonder how she felt!
Debra: I’m so sorry...
Mitch: Come on, Anderson!
Joshua: I’m coming!!
Joshua (conf.): I was limping, the paintballs got me so bad. I am not the physical type of person and I am not strong. There was one hard one that got my leg so hard that I fell.
Mitch (conf.): You fell? I couldn’t even see him, I didn’t dare to look back.
Mitch was the first one to the clue box.
Mitch: Faster, Joshua!!
Lionel: Come on babe, we can still do this!!
Debra: Yeah...
Debra (conf.): I couldn’t let Lionel down but it was just excruciatingly agonizing.
It was either Lionel & Debra or Joshua that arrived first...
Launchers: GOOD JOB!!
Debra was crying.
Lionel: You did well.........Congratulations, you have won the Fast Forward. Now make your way on foot to the next Pitstop, Binfen Park.
Phil: Having won the Fast Forward, Lionel & Debra can skip all remaining tasks and head directly to the Pitstop.
Mitch: Dang, Joshua!
Joshua: Sorry! It hurt so bad!
Mitch: Now we have to go back!
Lionel: It’s okay, Debra, it’s okay...
Debra: I’m fine...I wonder how many marks I received on my body...

Yu Hill:
Kristine: So Lionel & Debra won! :jumpy:
Mitch: Shut up...
Joshua: Roadblock...Who wants to go on a hunt?
Mitch: I’ll do it. I hope it’s nothing about walking.
Joshua: Climb up Yu Hill...
Mitch: WHAT!? That’s the exact opposite of what I want!!
Joshua: Good luck Mitch. I would’ve done worse.
Mitch: It can’t be that bad, two old men are there.
Bryanna: Hey! Don’t underestimate our husbands!
Mitch: We’re not, Mrs. Knowles and Mrs. Prince, we’re just playing the game, sharing our opinions.
Joshua: Good luck, mate.
Kristine: How was the Fast Forward, um...Mr. Anderson?
Joshua: :groan: Painful, just painful.

Binfen Park-Pitstop:
Greeter: Nî hâo! Welcome to Fuzhou, China! ;D
Lionel: Thank you.
Debra: You’re so cute.
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number......3!
Lionel: Yay...
Phil: So you went for the Fast Forward. Was it worth it?
Debra: To be honest, no. It hurt so bad. Paintballs thudded at my helmet, hurting my arms and legs...painful.
Lionel: I think it was a bad decision as well, for my girlfriend, at least.
Lionel (conf.): The thing that would hurt me the most that could happen in this race is either seeing my Debra getting hurt, arguing with her, or not thinking of her for the tasks. I just hope she forgives me.
Debra (conf.): Despite the painful Fast Forward, at least I didn’t let my boy down, so I’m happy for that.

Yu Hill:
They all waited anxiously. One person made it down first...
Bryanna: :groan:
Mackenzie: I knew it.
Kristine: Good job, sis!
Penelope: Thanks!
Kristine: Detour! Monkey Business or Over The Wall!
Penelope: I kinda prefer Over The Wall more, actually.
Kristine: Are you sure? You have just eaten camel meat.
Penelope: I just want to see you suffer as well. :snicker:
Kristine: You’re kidding me...
Penelope: We’re doing Over The Wall.
They asked for directions, and realized it was nearer.
Penelope: This may be the better choice.
Bryanna: Come on...
Joshua: Come on...
Joshua (conf.): Really awkward moment to be so close to the people we U-Turned. :lol:

Tiantian Restaurant:
Penelope: We’re here...
Kristine: Oh my god I am eating a shark...
Penelope: Good luck to us...
Kristne: Bleh!!
They struggled a lot.

Yu Hill:
After long minutes, another person arrived.
Joshua: NO!!
Bryanna: Yay!
Mackenzie: Yes, dear!
Martin: Mitch was there, he was really hurt and going slowly.
Mackenzie: Really? That’s good!!!
Joshua: Hmph...
Mackenzie: What? It’s a game, it’s our opinions.
Bryanna (whispering to Mackenzie): Great job, Mackey. :funny:
Mackenzie: :lol: Let me read that dear, you look tired.
Martin: I...I am...
Mackenzie: Detour!
Bryanna: Monkey Business or Over The Wall...
Mackenzie: Let’s do Monkey Business.
Bryanna: I thought of the same thing!
Joshua: Come on Mitch...
Joshua (conf.): Last time we lost the Fast Forward, there were still teams behind us. This time, no team was behind us. It sucks so much...

Tiantian Restaurant:
Penelope: Come on Kristine...
Kristine: I’m done!
Waiter: Here’s your next clue!
Penelope: Good job!
Kristine: It wasn’t that bad.
Penelope: Hm...Now we need to search for this book at this bookstore.
Kristine: He better know where it is.

Fujian Xinhua Bookstore:
Penelope & Kristine arrived at the bookstore by taxi and began searching.

Yu Hill:
Joshua: Finally!
Mitch: Sorry!
Joshua: Detour!
Mitch: Let’s do Monkey Business!
Joshua: Good thinking.

Pingshan Park:
Bryanna: :lol: Monkeys!
Keith: Let’s search now...
One of the teams found one quickly.
Bryanna: We found one guys!
Mackenzie: We never thought of separating again...But leave us! We don’t want you to be last.
Bryanna: What do you think, Martin?
Martin: Yeah, just leave us.
Bryanna: Okay, we’ll leave the taxi to you, we will get our own taxi.
They got their taxi quickly and headed to the bookstore.

Fujian Xinhua Bookstore:
Kristine: It’s just here!
Penelope: Wow...talk about overlooking.
Kristine: Pitstop! Oh my gosh!
Penelope: Let’s go!

Binfen Park-Pitstop:
Phil: Penelope & Kristine, you, are team number...4!
Kristine: :hearts: Yay, we caught up!
Penelope: Swell!

Pingshan Park:
Mitch: I found it!
Joshua: Good job!
Mitch: Fujian Xinhua Bookstore...Let’s go!
Martin: Oh no... :groan:
Mackenzie: I found one, dear!
Martin: Oh? Let’s hurry then!

Fujian Xinhua Bookstore:
Keith: I got it...It’s just on the counter...
Bryanna: Good job! ;D
Keith: Make your way to the next Pitstop!
Bryanna: Oh my gosh...This is intensifyingly intense!!
A few minutes later, the final two teams arrived and began to search.

Binfen Park:
Phil: Bryanna & Keith, you, are team number...5!
Bryanna: Five doesn’t sound too impressive nowadays.
Phil: What happened to Martin & Mackenzie?
Bryanna: We left them at the Detour because we found our clue earlier than them. I just hope they’re okay!
Keith: We’d be very sad if they got eliminated.

Fujian Xinhua Bookstore:
Joshua: It’s just here!!
Martin: Joshua has it, hurry!
Mitch: Dang, Joshua!! You blew up the cover! Hurry!
Martin: There it is, it’s so near, it looks so obvious now!
Mackenzie: Pitstop! Oh no!!!!

Binfen Park-Pitstop:
Mitch: Where is the fountain?
Joshua: Just how do you get there?
Martin: We must find it first, Mackenzie, or else we’ll be last.
Mackenzie: I know.
Joshua: Hm...
Both of them eventually found it, one closely after the other.
Mackenzie: There’s Phil, dear!
Martin: RUN!!
Mitch: Joshua, there! We can overtake them!
Mackenzie: Oh my gosh!!!
It was a tight race...
Martin made it first.
Martin: Faster, dear! Come on!
Mitch then made it.
Mitch: Faster, Anderson!
Phil: This looks like a heated race!!
Mackenzie (conf.): When I saw Joshua was just close to me, I started panicking. I was like oh my gosh!!
Joshua overtook Mackenzie.
Mitch: Faster!
Martin: Run like a Jamaican marathoner!
Mackenzie overtook Joshua.
Mackenzie: YES!!!
Mitch: Aw, come on!
Joshua: Shoot! My leg caught me in the end!
Mackenzie: Water...water...
She got her water.
Phil: Wow...After a heated race to the Pitstop.........Martin & Mackenzie, you, are team number......6!
Mackenzie: YESSSSSS!!!!
Mitch: NO WAY!
Phil: So...Sadly, Joshua & Mitch, you, are the last team to arrive.
Joshua: This is not happening...
Mackenzie: Well, dear, you got beaten by me, and logically, you were supposed to outrun me, but no!! In opinion, I am fitter than you!
Joshua: Darn it...
Phil: You were like season 14’s Margie! Bionic woman!
Mackenzie: Thank you. :flirt:
Phil: Well...Joshua & Mitch...you.........
Mackenzie (whispering): Plleeeaasseee...
Phil: Are eliminated from the race.
Mitch: NO!
Mackenzie (whispering): Yes!
Joshua: This is the worst day of my life...
Mackenzie: Well, if you think smartly, all of the eliminated teams have different surnames.
Mackenzie (conf.): Joy, this is the best leg yet, even being second last. I almost got a heart attack, but the joy of seeing Joshua & Mitch leave healed me. :funny:

Joshua (conf.): This is the worst leg yet, and it was our last. We got humiliated, badly.
Mitch (conf.): They just got lucky, that’s all. For all I know, they should’ve been gone a long time ago!
Joshua (conf.): Yeah, they’re blessed with luck. We endured the race with no luck at all.

*End of Episode 8: Paintballs Can Leave You Marks! - Fast Forward Warning*

[Raymond]

I remember Holly & Gabrielle's second-place streak. That was laffos.

[realshowfan]

Episode 9: I Have No Expedia Skills, But I Say We Should Go For It.

Phil: Previously on RealShowFan¡¯s The Amazing Race...Teams contemplate Lili & Lee and Holly & Gabrielle¡¯s lead. The two teams completed the entire leg before the rest of the teams could arrive in Fuzhou, China.
Lee (conf.): We didn¡¯t know we have a very huge lead. When the last team arrived, our friend-(is cut off)
Lili (conf.): Your friends.
Lee (conf.): Joshua & Mitch, we only had 16 minutes left!
Phil: A Roadblock separates the fast with the slow, the determined with the less serious.
Martin (conf.): I may be old but I can¡¯t let my wife here fall down from that hill!! This task wasn¡¯t meant to be for us.
Phil: Gabrielle got hit on the head...
Gabrielle: There¡¯s a monkey on my hair! AHHH!!!
Phil: While Debra got pounded viciously by paintballs for a Fast Forward...
Debra: Ow...ow...ow...OUCH!! BABE!!
Phil: Which her team won against business partners Joshua & Mitch.
Lionel: Congratulations, you have won the Fast Forward.
Mitch: Dang, Joshua!
Phil: The Fast Forward barely helped them win first, as Lili & Lee got everything working for them.
Phil: Lili & Lee, you, are team number...1!
Lee: YES!!
Phil: But the Fast Forward helped Martin & Mackenzie survive another tough leg, and sent Joshua & Mitch packing with humiliation.
Mackenzie (whispering): Yes!
Joshua: This is the worst day of my life...
Phil: Six teams remain...Who will be eliminated next?!

Phil: This is Fuzhou, the capital and largest pre-fecture city of the Fujian province in China. And in the heart of the city is Minjiang Park. Among the several smaller parks in this park, is Binfen Park. This is the eighth Pitstop in a race around the world. Teams arrived here at the end of last leg for a mandatory rest period. Do the teams at the back still have hope of catching up to the frontrunners? Will Holly & Gabrielle ever get out of second place? Will there be new grudges amongst the teams? Lili & Lee, who were the first to arrive at 4:04pm, will depart at 4:04am.

First To Depart: 4:04am
Lili: Fly to Hong Kong, China!
Lee: Woah!! :wohoo:
Phil: Teams must fly to Hong Kong, China.

Phil: Once there, they must make their way to Nina Tower, planned to be the tallest building on Earth, but its plans got called off becauase of its near location to the airport. It¡¯s here where teams will find their next clue.


Lili: You have $100 for this leg of the race. Cool, Hong Kong.
Lili (conf.): I think our lead is increasing, we are more far ahead now. Which is great.
Lee (conf.): But I will be so surprised if the final three is a too-ahead Lili & Lee and Holly & Gabrielle along with another random person left out. :funny:
Lee: Taxi!

Second To Depart:
Gabrielle: Fly to Hong Kong!
Holly: Wow...
Gabrielle: Well, let¡¯s head off.
Gabrielle (conf.): Second place again, gosh, when will this end?
Holly (conf.): Hopefully in Hong Kong.

Fuzhou Changle International Airport:
Lili: Thank goodness for the $100! We were running out of money.
Lee: I still think we have the most money among the teams left.
Lili: So...Internet area?

On their way to Fuzhou Changle International Airport:
Holly: We¡¯re calling the airport...Hello, good morning. Haha, we would like to know if there are flights going to Hong Kong? Any flights, yes, even with connecting flights...Huh? Gone for the night? So when¡¯s the next available one? At...7:50am? Gosh...What time will it arrive? 7:45pm...Wow...Why is it so long? It¡¯s also in China.

Internet Caf¨¦:
Lili: Okay...
They found the same flight.
Lili: Geez, so late. When did Lionel & Debra arrive?
Lee: I¡¯m quite sure it¡¯s after eight.
Lili: Good.

Cathay Pacific Counter:
Both teams arrived at almost the same time, with Lili & Lee first.
Gabrielle: Faster...
Lili: :res:
Lee: Is this the only flight?
Counter worker: What do you mean?
Lee: I mean, are there any other flights departing earlier than this!?
Counter worker: No, you can search other airlines for them. But for now this is the only one.
Lee: Why does it arrive so late?
Counter worker: It¡¯s a special flight.
Lee: Okay then. If you say so.
The two teams got their tickets.
Lili: Do you think we should keep searching for flights?
Lee: I have no Expedia skills, but I say we should go for it.
Gabrielle: I¡¯m thinking of having breakfast. I¡¯m hungry.
Holly: Yayy...Midnight breakfast!!
At 7:50am, Lili & Lee gave up searching and the two teams headed off to Hong Kong.

Third To Depart: 8:06am
Debra: Fly to Hong Kong, China.
Lionel: Cool.
Debra (conf.): I checked my body and I got a handful of paintball marks around me. But lucky for the protective gears there weren¡¯t as much. Haha.
Lionel (conf.): We¡¯re hoping we don¡¯t become last this leg or else our pains and sufferings will be for nothing.
Lionel: TAXI!! Airport? Aeroplane? Whooshy?
Taxi driver: Okay!
Debra: So...At this point we are at the dead middle. We have the two teams 10 hours ahead of us and the other teams at least 40 minutes behind us.
Lionel: In other words, we¡¯re on our own.

Travel Agency:
Debra: ÔçÉÏ!
Travel agent: Morning to you too! ;D
Debra: Hi, can you help us search for a flight to Hong Kong?
Travel agent: Okay...Honeymoon trip?
Lionel & Debra laughed.
Debra: Something like that. :lol:
Travel agent: :lol: Okay so...I have three different routes.
Debra: Okay.
Travel agent: Route A is to take a China Eastern flight to Shanghai and from there take a Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong. Departs 1:45pm and arrives 8:15pm. Route B is to take a Xiamen Airlines flight to Guangzhou OR a China Southern Airlines flight to Guangzhou and then from there take a China Southern flight to Hong Kong. Departs 2:50 and 4:20 respectively and arrives in Hong Kong at 8:25pm.
Debra: Impressive. May we have two tickets to route A?
Travel agent: Haha, sure...Here you go!
Debra: лл!!
Lionel: Perfect!

Fuzhou Changle International Airport:
They got their flights and rested by eating breakfast.

Fourth To Depart: 8:50am
Penelope: Fly to Hong Kong, China...
Kristine: Woah...wee! Hong Kong!
Penelope: Mitch was hoping for that but...Too late now! :lol:
Penelope (conf.): It is getting down to the wire now. Fourth place isn¡¯t that impressive and reassuring anymore.
Kristine: This is gonna be cool! People speak English there!
Penelope: :funny:

On their way to Fuzhou Changle International Airport:
Kristine: We¡¯re calling and gonna ask for flights...Hello! We would like to book two tickets for Hong Kong flights? Hm...China Southern Airlines? So it departs at...4:20pm? Wow, and arrives at...oh we have to connect in Guangzhou...At 8:25pm? Ooh...Book those for us please and we¡¯ll search for more flights.

Fuzhou Changle International Airport:
Kristine: Well, we couldn¡¯t find an Internet caf¨¦ here, we must¡¯ve missed it. :duno: We¡¯re gambling and will take the South China flight or however it¡¯s called.

Fifth To Depart: 9:48am
Keith: Fly to Hong Kong, China. You have $100 for this leg of the race.
Bryanna: Yay, more money.
Bryanna (conf.): Again, we¡¯re separated with Martin & Mackey. Glad they¡¯re still in the race. I am surprised about their story, about the race to the Pitstop. Unimaginable, but I trust them. Still, I wanted to see it happen. :lol:
Keith (conf.): At least we¡¯re free of business now! It¡¯s all personal and happy again! ;D

Last To Depart: 9:58am
Martin: Hong Kong...
Mackenzie: Taxi!
Mackenzie (conf.): I don¡¯t want to think of the businessmen anymore. Just pretend they never existed. :snicker: Now I think we all are a happy group of people!
Martin (conf.): I heard Lili doesn¡¯t like Gabrielle. :duno:
Mackenzie (conf.): Then I wonder how they¡¯re doing. :groan:
Mackenzie: Sir...Phone, please? Thanks!

Fuzhou Changle International Airport:
Keith: We have a Xiamen Airlines flight to Guangzhou and Bryanna is ready to tell M&M when they get here.
Bryanna: Mackey!
Mackenzie: Hi!! Did you get a flight?
Bryanna: Yes! We got this!
Mackenzie: We found out about that too! And also another one which departs at 4:20am.
Martin & Mackenzie decided to take the Xiamen Airlines flight to Guangzhou.

Phil: All teams are now on one of four different routes to Hong Kong, China. Lili & Lee and Holly & Gabrielle are on a Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong. Lionel & Debra are on a China Eastern Airlines flight and then a Cathay Pacific flight via Shanghai. Bryanna & Keith and Martin & Mackenzie are on a Xiamen Airlines flight while Penelope & Kristine are on a China Southern Airlines flight, both flights connect in Guangzhou for another China Southern Airlines flight to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong International Airport:
Lili: Well, there¡¯s gonna be a delay on the landing. I hope our lead doesn¡¯t disappear because of this. Probably not.
The plane landed, they all exited.
Lee: Taxi!
Holly: Taxi!
Holly & Gabrielle grabbed a taxi first.
Gabrielle: Nina Tower! Where is that?
Taxi driver: Ah, in Tsuen Wan.
Gabrielle: Take us there, please.
Lee: Here, I got it!
Lili: Nina Tower!?
Taxi driver: Okay!
The two teams headed off to Nina Tower.
At 8:15pm, Lionel & Debra arrived.
Lionel: Finally! Taxi! Yo, TAXI!!
Debra: Nina Tower?
Taxi driver: Nina Tower okay!
Debra: How much?
Taxi driver: Check later!
Debra: Oh it has a meter, okay.
Ten minutes later, the final three teams arrived. Order of getting taxis were...Penelope & Kristine, and then the two old teams sharing a taxi again.
Bryanna: I¡¯m guessing we¡¯re sharing money again. :lol:
Mackenzie: Yep! ;D
Keith: You¡¯re catching up to us now!
Martin (conf.): When will we think our relationship will get too close? Hm...Never! But I do say we¡¯ve been together a whole lot.
Mackenzie (conf.): We are very, very close. We just can¡¯t do the race without them.

Nina Tower:
Holly: STOOOPP!!
Gabrielle: Haha, Holly, too loud. :funny:
Holly: I just saw our clue, that¡¯s all!
Gabrielle: Okay...Make your way on foot to Tsuen Wan Plaza!
Phil: Teams must now walk to this plaza and find their clue inside, near the entrance.


Gabrielle: Oh...crap. Caution: Yield Ahead!
Phil: If a team is Yielded, they must turn over the hourglass. Only until the sands are all down can that team continue on.


Gabrielle: Too bad, we already used ours.
Gabrielle (conf.): If we were still able to Yield someone, that would be Lili & Lee or Lionel & Debra. Both for the same reasons, they are threats.
Lili: Stop, stop, stop! I see it!
Lee: Holly & Gabrielle just left too.
Lili: Make your way on foot to Tsuen Wan Plaza.
Holly: Oh no, Gabrielle! We have to walk!
Gabrielle: Oh yeah! I guess we can ask the driver for directions.
Both teams asked for directions.
Lili: The guy said there¡¯s a long way and there¡¯s a short way. Here¡¯s goes nothing.

Tsuen Wan Plaza:
One team arrived there first.
Gabrielle: This is it!
Holly: We choose to Yield no one because we can¡¯t!
Gabrielle: Okay...Detour! Shopaholics or Moviegoers!
Phil: A Detour is choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams have to complete the task around Tsuen Wan Plaza. Their choice: Shopaholics or Moviegoers.

In Shopaholics, teams must go to this store, Vango, where they¡¯ll be given a list of things they need to buy. They must go around the plaza to buy all of those items, then they must go back to Vango and give all the items to the shopkeeper who has their next clue. Shopping may be loads of fun, but running around a mall not being sure where these items are could cause a disaster and waste a lot of money.

In Moviegoers, teams go to the Broadway Cinema and go to the marked room. There, they will watch a scene featuring Jackie Chan, an international star from Hong Kong. They must find which movie that scene was from before receiving their next clue. This task seems a lot more difficult and brain-teasing, but fans of movies may find the right movie, spot on.


Gabrielle: I guess you know what we¡¯re choosing.
Holly: Shopaholics? But you need money for that.
Gabrielle: It can¡¯t be that much. Besides, we¡¯ll finish it a lot quicker.
Holly: Okay...It looks like we¡¯re gonna need to find Vango. Whatever that is, that is.
They found it.
Gabrielle: There it is!
Holly: Where¡¯s our shopping list?
Shopkeeper: Here you go. Good luck!
Holly: Thank you...
Gabrielle: Ten items...
Holly: I hope the locals speak English. :groan:

Nina Tower:
Taxi driver: This is Nina Tower!
Lionel: And that is our next clue!
Debra: Good job...Make your way on foot to Tsuen Wan Plaza.
Lionel: Now we have to adapt to the locals.

Tsuen Wan Plaza:
Lee: Are we going to Yield?
Lili: I don¡¯t know! I don¡¯t think so.
Lee: I have someone in mind. :duno:
Lili: I don¡¯t think so, it is unnecessary and pointless right now.
Lee: Okay then.
Lili: Detour! Shopaholics or Moviegoers...
Lee: I say Moviegoers. We can¡¯t waste our money for a task.
Lili: I think so too.
Lee: And I watched Jackie Chan movies.
Lili: Who doesn¡¯t?
Holly: Thank you!
Gabrielle: Item 1, garlic bread, is off of our list!
Holly: Next is...a bib. Those are the ones babies wear right?
Gabrielle: I think so.
Lili & Lee arrived at the Broadway Cinema and got into the marked house.
Lee: Okay...let¡¯s begin.
Lili: We have to choose a scene.
Lee: We¡¯ll pick this one.
They played it and laughed.
Lili: That baby is so cute!
Lee: :funny: Okay, let¡¯s find it.
Lili: This will be the hard part.
Holly & Gabrielle bought their second item.
Gabrielle: :yess: Now we need this type of shoes.
Holly: I think it¡¯s gonna be here in Jusco as well.
Gabrielle: Instinct?
Holly: No, wild guess. :duno:

Nina Tower:
Penelope: Make your way on foot to Tsuen Wan Plaza.
Kristine: Let¡¯s ask the driver where it is.
Three minutes later...
Keith: Tsuen Wan Plaza.
Mackenzie: Now what?
Bryanna: We have to ask the people here.
They had a hard time getting directions.

Tsuen Wan Plaza:
Debra: I see it!! :jumpy:
Lionel: Good job!
Debra: So tiring.
Lionel: We chose to Yield no one!
Debra: We don¡¯t want to Yield the three teams! The teams we want to Yield are ahead of us!
Lionel: Detour! Shopaholics or Moviegoers!
Debra: Moviegoers! We get to sit and relax.
Lionel: Nothing here is relaxing, Deb.
Holly & Gabrielle bought their third and fourth items.
Holly: Six more to go.
Gabrielle: Hm...we need this doll now.
Lili & Lee had a hard time.
Lee: I hope fast forwarding it really helps. :groan:
Lili: This is hurting my eyes.
Lionel & Debra arrived.
Debra: Yay, Lililee is here!
Lionel: Oh my god!
Lee: Wow, you guys caught up pretty fast.
Lee (conf.): We don¡¯t know if it¡¯s the Detour or if it¡¯s our flight. They caught up. Our lead is over. We should¡¯ve Yielded them.
Debra: Let¡¯s start.
Lionel: We pick this one.
Debra: Hm...
Lionel: Oh wow! He¡¯s so good!
Debra: Cool! Jackie Chan is really talented.
Lionel: Okay now here comes the hard part.
Holly & Gabrielle found eight items in total at this point.
Holly: We have 436HKD now, we lost like...300HKD!
Gabrielle: Dang...This is a Detour you really can¡¯t change.
Holly: We just need two more items...
Penelope & Kristine arrived.
Kristine: We chose not to Yield!
Penelope: We chose to do Shopaholics!
Kristine: Boy, this will be fun!! :jumpy:
They found Vango.
Kristine: Thank you...Where¡¯s our money?
Shopkeeper: Huh? You use your own money.
Kristine: Our own? Really?
Penelope: Gosh...Too late for that now, let¡¯s go!
Kristine: I must¡¯ve misread that.
One team completed the Detour first.
Gabrielle: Come on...We¡¯re here...
Holly: Item 1, garlic bread! Item 2, baby bib! Item 3, shoes! Item 4, sushi. Item 5, doll. Item 6, apple. Item 7, placemat. Item 8, toy. Item 9, iced milk tea. Item 10, last but not least, T-shirt.
Shopkeeper: ;D Here is your next clue.
Holly: Thank you!
Gabrielle: I hope we don¡¯t need taxis...Find Caf¨¦ de Coral in Tsuen Wan Plaza for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now find this restaurant, Caf¨¦ de Coral, where they¡¯ll find their next clue.


Gabrielle: Oh...Cool. Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Phil: If a team is U-Turned, they must go back and do the other Detour task they didn¡¯t complete. Only once can a team use a U-Turn so they must decide wisely on the best time to use their power.


Gabrielle: Let¡¯s go!
They found it quite quickly.
Holly: We¡¯re used to this place now.
Gabrielle: Now...We chose to U-Turn somebody.
Holly: Pure strategy, guys. Sorry.


Holly: I hope they haven¡¯t finished the Detour yet.
Gabrielle: Make your way to Riviera Plaza, still in Tsuen Wan, and find the park.
Phil: Teams must now go to Riviera Plaza for their next clue.


Holly: Let¡¯s go.
Gabrielle: It looks like we¡¯re taking a taxi again. :groan:
Lili: Lee, I found it!
Debra: This is it, sweetie!
Lionel: You got it the same time as them.
Debra: The Accidental Spy is the name...
Lili: It¡¯s the movie Rob-B-Hood!
Woman: Here are your clues!
Lee: Find Caf¨¦ de Coral in Tsuen Wan Plaza for your next clue.
Debra: Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Lee: Come on, Lili!
Lee (conf.): I thought we had the chance to U-Turn Lionel & Debra.
They arrived at the restaurant.
Lili: We got U-Turned!
Lee: Those sneaky spikers!
Debra: Phew...
Lee (conf.): We were U-Turned so Lionel & Debra were so happy.
Debra: Thank god.
Lee: This is not good. We have to do the shopping now.
Debra: Make your way to Riviera Plaza.
Lionel: Let¡¯s go!
At this point, Penelope & Kristine already bought six of the items and continued searching for the rest.

Riviera Plaza:
Taxi driver: There is Riviera Plaza.
Holly: Thanks sir.
Gabrielle: Do you know how to get to the park.
Taxi driver: :duno:
Holly: I¡¯m sure it should be easy to find.
Gabrielle: You know what, this place is a lot quiter than what I saw on TV that it made me feel like they only put sound effects. :lol:

On their way to Tsuen Wan Plaza:
Mackenzie: Hello, can anyone take us to Tsuen Wan Plaza?
Mackenzie (conf.): We were lost going to Tsuen Wan Plaza. :ascared
Keith: Why won¡¯t anyone help us?
Local: Do you have a problem?
Keith: Yes, no one speaks English here. We need to go to Tsuen Wan Plaza.
Local: Oh, it¡¯s that way! Look for the Jusco sign.
Keith: What is that? A karaoke center?

Tsuen Wan Plaza:
Kristine: Lili & Lee got U-Turned!
Penelope: Well, they¡¯re so ahead they should¡¯ve been done by now though. :lol:
Kristine: Lol yeah...Make your way to Riviera Plaza and find the park.
Penelope: Let¡¯s goooo!!
Lili & Lee found four items.

Riviera Plaza:
Gabrielle: It¡¯s here!
Holly: Roadblock. Who¡¯s cool enough to skid?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member has to perform. In this Roadblock, that team member must go back to Riviera Plaza and find the Ice Chalet. Once there, they¡¯ll wear ice-skating shoes and must ice-skate a lap around the rink eight times before receiving their next clue.


Gabrielle: I¡¯m doing it.
Holly: Oh cool you get to ice-skate!!
Gabrielle: :yess: Thought so!
At this point, Lionel & Debra arrived at Riviera Plaza, the old teams arrived at Tsuen Wan Plaza, and Lili & Lee already found eight items.

Tsuen Wan Plaza:
Keith: Detour!
Mackenzie: Shopaholics or Moviegoers!
Keith: Shopaholics.
Mackenzie: Shopaholics!
Lee: We just need iced milk tea and a T-shirt.
Lili: Well let¡¯s check out if Caf¨¦ de Coral has the milk tea. :duno:

Riviera Plaza:
Debra: Roadblock! Who is cool enough to skid? Lionel¡¯s doing it.
Lionel: Oh yeah. :jam:
Debra: You¡¯re ice-skating. Do you know how to ice-skate?
Lionel: I think so. I don¡¯t ice-skate regularly. :duno:

Ice Chalet:
Gabrielle: I¡¯m ready! :snicker:
She started ice-skating. She fell down only once in the first two laps. Lionel & Debra arrived.
Debra: Yes, honey! We caught up to the volleyball players!
Holly: Good job then! Who cares!
Debra: I¡¯m just shocked.
Lionel: Here I go.
Debra: Go honey! You can do this!
He fell...
Lionel: Woah! That hurts...
Debra: :lol:

Tsuen Wan Plaza:
Lee: Thank you! ;D
Lili: Finally...Back to Caf¨¦ de Coral...
Lee: I wonder how many positions we dropped.
Bryanna & Keith and Martin & Mackenzie both bought five items. By the time Lili & Lee arrived at the restaurant, they got six.
Lili: Make your way to Riviera Plaza and find the park with your next clue.
Lee: Hm...

Riviera Plaza:
Kristine: Roadblock! Who is cool enough to skid?
Penelope: Your turn, sis!
Kristine: Okay! This sounds fun...I have to ice-skate. Cool, literally!
Penelope: Ugh, this better be worth it. :lol:

Ice Chalet:
Gabrielle completed six laps, Lionel completed three.
Gabrielle: Woohoo!! I¡¯m rockin¡¯ it!!
Holly: Yes, just don¡¯t fall!
Gabrielle slipped.
Gabrielle: Ow, that¡¯s a bum blast.
Debra: Go honey! No one else is here yet!
Lionel: Good!

On their way to Riviera Plaza:
Lee: We¡¯re on a 238m bus to Riviera Plaza. Only 3HKD. Good profit.
Lili: Let¡¯s hope it¡¯s the faster transportation.

Tsuen Wan Plaza:
Shopkeeper: Here are your next clues!
Keith: Thanks a lot!
Mackenzie: :yess:
Bryanna: Find Caf¨¦ de Coral.
Martin: Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Mackenzie: Oh no! :groan:
They found the restaurant.
Mackenzie: Phew! Thank goodness!
Bryanna: What do you suspect? Joshua & Mitch are gone!
Mackenzie: :lol:
Martin: Make your way to Riviera Plaza...
Bryanna: And find the park for your next clue.

Ice Chalet:
Penelope & Kristine arrived.
Kristine: Oh look! Holly & Gabrielle are here!
Penelope: That¡¯s awesome now go! You can do this, Kristine!
Kristine (conf.): It felt great that Holly & Gabrielle¡¯s lead just dwindle like that, along with Lililee¡¯s. :wohoo:
Kristine fell a lot.
Gabrielle: I¡¯m done! :wohoo:
Holly: :hearts:
Woman: Good job!
Gabrielle: Thank you! But volleyball¡¯s still my fave sport.
Holly: Now make your way by ferry to Park Island in Ma Wan. You must go to the Park Island Ferry Pier in Tsuen Wan to get there. Once there, find Tung Wan Beach and build a sandcastle similar to the demonstrator¡¯s sandcastle to receive your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now get a ride to Park Island. Once there they must find Tung Wan Beach and then using the tools they¡¯re given, build a sandcastle. If it¡¯s satisfactory they¡¯ll be given their next clue.


Holly: Let¡¯s get back out.
Gabrielle: That was so much fun!
Debra: Go babe, you just need one more!
Lionel: Woo!
Penelope: You suck at this Kristine!
Kristine: :lol: Thank you!

Riviera Plaza:
Lee: Let¡¯s find it quick!
Holly (whispering): Gabrielle, get back here!
Gabrielle: Okay...
Holly (conf.): I didn¡¯t wanna waste my time arguing with Lili & Lee. They¡¯re just gonna waste our time.
Gabrielle: There¡¯s an exit there to the terminal.
Holly: Awesome.
Lili & Lee found the park.
Lili: Roadblock! Who¡¯s cool enough to skid? I¡¯ll do it.
Lee: Good luck.
Lili: Yay! I¡¯m going ice-skating!
At this point the two old teams found Riviera Plaza and Lionel & Debra finished the Roadblock.
Lionel: Park Island.
Debra: This ferry trip better be worth it. :lol:

Park Island Pier:
Holly: This must be it! It says Park Island!
Gabrielle: There¡¯s more people than I thought.
Holly: I thought there¡¯s fewer people than I thought! :lol:
Gabrielle: I wonder what time the next ferry leaves...
Holly: I¡¯ll ask them how to get to Tung Wan Beach.

Riviera Plaza:
Mackenzie: Yes! There it is! Thank you, deary!
Local: You¡¯re welcome!
Bryanna: Roadblock! Who is cool enough to skid? You have to do it again Keith if you ever want to catch up to me.
Mackenzie: Who do you think should do it?
Keith: Oh my goodness...I have to ice-skate.
Mackenzie: Martin¡¯s doing it.
Martin: Good luck to us...Here¡¯s hoping I leave this place unbroken.

Ice Chalet:
Kristine completed seven while Lili only finished two.
Penelope: One more sis! You¡¯re doing great!
Kristine: It¡¯s easy once you get the hang of it! ;D
The two old teams arrived.
Mackenzie: Wow! Lee! You just came!?
Lee: Yeah...We got U-Turned, so?
Bryanna: Nothing, we¡¯re just in shock.
Lee: Yeah, I¡¯d expect that.

Park Island Pier:
Holly: Oh...Lionel & Debra just came!
Lionel: Hey guys!
Holly: Hey!
Debra: What happened to your lead?
Holly: Stupid flight, all because of that.
Debra: Ooh...Okay.
The ferry left.
Holly: This...is nothing special.
Debra: Cool, look, there¡¯s Tsing Ma Bridge!
Lionel: The big cans on the sea ruined it for me. :lol:

Ice Chalet:
Woman: Here¡¯s your next clue!
Kristine: :jumpy:
Lili did four, Keith did three, Martin did four.
Lili: Man, I am really horrible at this.
Lili (conf.): I couldn¡¯t keep my balance. It was so hard for me. The two older guys were actually catching up.
Lee: Go Lili, you can do it!
Mackenzie: Go dear! Go! You¡¯re catching up!
Bryanna: Take your time, Keith, take your time.
Keith (conf.): Ice-skating isn¡¯t a good sport for someone old like me. I¡¯m way too old for this. I was scared of falling down so I went slowly. Martin on the other hand, went a little faster than me, but also careful.

Park Island:
The first ferry arrived.
Holly: There¡¯s little people here.
Gabrielle: Oh wow! It¡¯s a private estate! With public facilities!
Holly: So we just need to keep walking until we see signs of Tung Wan Beach.
Gabrielle: Where did Lionel & Debra go?
Holly: Shoot! They must¡¯ve dashed ahead! Let¡¯s run!
Gabrielle: Good thinking!
Debra: We shouldn¡¯t get lost here, there¡¯s only one path.

Ice Chalet:
Woman: Here are your clues!
Lili: Thank you! That was tiring.
Martin: Yay!
Bryanna: Mackey, don¡¯t worry about us. We¡¯ll be fine.
Mackenzie: You just need one more lap and you¡¯re done. We can wait.
Bryanna: Okay then.
Lee: Let¡¯s go!
Lili: Sorry about that.
Lee: Make your way by ferry to Park Island...

Tung Wan Beach:
Debra: There!
Lionel: It¡¯s so dark. How can we build a sandcastle?
Debra: Brr...It¡¯s cold!
They started building a sandcastle.
Debra: The water is freezing and the sand is cold.

Park Island Pier:
Kristine: No one¡¯s here. Dang it.
Penelope: No Hours of Operation though. Let¡¯s just stay here for a while.

Ice Chalet:
Keith: I did it!
He lay down on the ice.
Everyone applauded him.
Bryanna: I¡¯m so proud of you, honey.
Keith: That was hard.
They all left to the pier.

Tung Wan Beach:
Gabrielle: Shoot, they are here.
Holly: What are you waiting for then?
Gabrielle: This is our forte but during the day! Gosh!
Holly: Just go do it!
Lionel: We have to hurry up.

Park Island Pier:
Kristine: Oh! Lililee is here!
Lili: Hi guys!
Lee: Martin finished the Roadblock as well but they¡¯re waiting for Keith.
Penelope: When will they be independent? It¡¯s ridiculous, god.
Kristine (conf.): Even we¡¯re annoyed by the old teams¡¯ relationship. Well, it seemed to put them behind at that point so we¡¯re kind of okay with that. Lol.
Penelope (conf.): It¡¯s just that, we have an Intersection for that. It seems that they didn¡¯t read the clue clearly.
Penelope: Ohhh here¡¯s the ferry!
Kristine: Thank goodness!
Two minutes later.
Mackenzie: We must¡¯ve missed it! Lili & Lee are gone! :groan:
Bryanna: I said you should¡¯ve left us. I feel guilty now. :groan:
Mackenzie: We¡¯re not saying it¡¯s your fault. It¡¯s just my point of view.

Tung Wan Beach:
Both teams let the lifeguard check their sandcastles.
Lifeguard: Hm...No...Yes.
Debra: :jumpy:
Lionel: Thanks!
Gabrielle: Aw...Why?
Lifeguard: You forgot that part.
Gabrielle: Oh okay. And then will you give us our clue?
Lifeguard: Yes.
Debra: Make your way to the next Pitstop! :yess: Noah¡¯s Ark Garden!
Phil: Teams must now make their way to Noah¡¯s Ark, and find the garden. This recently built tourist attraction in Park Island, whose aim is to let people discover reasons to love animals and planet Earth, is the eighth Pitstop of the race. The last team to check in here may be eliminated.


Debra: Quick, let¡¯s go!
Holly: Darn...
Gabrielle: So close again...
Lionel: It¡¯s just there! It¡¯s so obvious! :funny:
Holly: Okay, how¡¯s it now?
Lifeguard: Hm...
Gabrielle: Please, we really want to get first again and not be in second place or lower!
Lifeguard: It¡¯s okay with me! Here¡¯s your next clue!
Holly: Dang it. So close again!
Gabrielle: We may have a chance.
While the two teams search for the garden, ferry two arrived.

Kristine: Tung Wan Beach...
Penelope: We better run Kristine, so we can get a head start!
Kristine: Building sandcastles at night! What¡¯s next?!
Lili: We can¡¯t outrun them.
Lee: But let¡¯s go faster just in case!

Noah¡¯s Ark Garden-Pitstop:
¡®I see Phil! This must be the garden!¡¯
¡®So much for a garden. :lol: ¡® They step onto the mat.

Greeter: N¨¦ih h¨®u! Welcome to Hong Kong, China!
Debra: Thank you very much!
Phil: Lionel & Debra, you, are team number............1!
Debra: YEAHHH!
Lionel: We did it!
Phil: So it seems you¡¯re not letting those who haven¡¯t win a leg to win a leg, are you?
Lionel: So are the other two teams!
Phil: And as the winners of this leg of the race you have each won a Sony High Definition Handycam which you can use after the race.
Debra: To record our moments. :lol:

Tung Wan Beach:
Kristine: Where are the tools?
Penelope: Here we go.
Kristine: Oh my goodness it¡¯s cold out here!!
Despite the low temperature, they¡¯re doing well.

Noah¡¯s Ark Garden-Pitstop:
¡®Please, please, please tell me they got lost.¡¯
¡®I know! This is frustrating!!¡¯ They stepped onto the mat.
Greeter: Welcome to Hong Kong, China.
Gabrielle: Hong Kong¡¯s really wonderful! ;D
Holly: Please...
Phil: Holly & Gabrielle, you, are team number.....................2.
Holly & Gabrielle: NOOOOOOOoooooo!!! THE NERVE!!!!!
Phil: You too are REALLY frustrated right now.
Holly: We¡¯re SO frustrated! Second! Second! Second! Second! This is the best time to be mad at being second!
Phil: On the good note, you¡¯re keeping consistent at least! Still in the top three!
Gabrielle: That won¡¯t get us anywhere.
Phil: And they caught up. What happened?
Holly: Lack of flights. :groan: This sucks right now.

Tung Wan Beach:
Kristine: This is really fun!!
Lili & Lee arrived.
Lili: Hey guys!
Penelope: Good luck...
Lili: Oh my gosh! It¡¯s cold!
Lee: Who in their right mind would build a sandcastle at night??
Lili: Poor lifeguard, having to wear T-shirt and shorts at a cold night.
Lili & Lee struggled at the task.

Park Island Pier:
At 11:30, another ferry arrived to take the last two teams.
Keith: Finally.
Bryanna: It¡¯s so dark and quiet...
Mackenzie: This is spooky dear.
Martin: Really? Doesn¡¯t seem so.

Tung Wan Beach:
Penelope: Lifeguard! Can you check our sandcastle?
Lifeguard: Hmm...
Kristine was shivering.
Lifeguard: Okay lah...
Kristine: Thank you! :kuss: Now let¡¯s get out of this place!
Penelope: Make your way to the next Pitstop! Noah¡¯s Ark Garden.
Kristine: Might that huge boat be Noah¡¯s Ark, then?
Penelope: Lol, thank god it¡¯s easy to find.
Kristine: And thank god we¡¯re done with the task.
Lee: Lili, that doesn¡¯t look right.
Lili: Are you sure? It¡¯s worth a try! I¡¯ve never built a sandcastle at this age...
Lee: Me neither...

Noah¡¯s Ark Garden-Pitstop:
¡®What a day! What a day!¡¯
¡®You said it!¡¯ They stepped onto the mat.
Greeter: ;D N¨¦ih h¨®u! Welcome to Hong Kong, China!
Penelope & Kristine: Thank you!
Phil: Penelope & Kristine, you, are team number.........3!
Kristine: Is it just me or are we slowly getting our way back up?
Penelope: It isn¡¯t just you. :lol:
Phil: So do you think you¡¯ll win a leg anytime soon?
Kristine: Maybe Phil, just maybe.

Tung Wan Beach:
Lee: We aren¡¯t getting anywhere with this. It keeps collapsing.
Lili (conf.): It was freezing cold at night! Nobody was around to help us except the people we can¡¯t ask help from. It¡¯s very frustrating.
Lili: Goodness...
Lili (conf.): Suddenly, there was a wave and it washed away our sandcastle, and my clothing.
Lee (conf.): It just wasn¡¯t our night.
Lee (shivering): Crap! You are kidding me! Brr...
Lili: We have to build our sandcastle farther away. :groan: Why is this happening to us!?
Lili (conf.): We weren¡¯t far enough from the waves, apparently. :res:
Lee: This is the worst task I¡¯ve done so far and even kids could do it.
Lili (conf.): And then the final two teams arrived.
Keith: It¡¯s them!
Bryanna: How many teams passed you?
Lee: I can¡¯t remember but I think one?
Martin: We have to beat them.
It took a long time until one team completed the task.
Lifeguard: Here is your next clue.
Martin: Thanks.
Lili: Okay, now I¡¯m scared.
Mackenzie: Sir, can we help them?
Lifeguard: No, you can¡¯t.
Mackenzie: Aw. Sorry guys!
Bryanna: It¡¯s okay Mackey.
Lee: I think we¡¯re almost done though.
Martin: Pitstop.
Mackenzie: I hope they¡¯re not last.

Noah¡¯s Ark Garden-Pitstop:
Phil: Martin & Mackenzie, you, are team number...4!
Mackenzie: We left Bryanna & Keith. I feel so bad.
Phil: Didn¡¯t they left you last time as well?
Mackenzie: Yeah. And the time we got U-Turned.
Phil: Same reasons. Is your bond really strong?
Mackenzie: The strongest. I¡¯ve never seen any other teams doing this before. We just want to have fun. We don¡¯t want to harm people.
Phil: How about the businessmen?
Mackenzie: They tried to ruin our fun so we had to deal with them. :lol:

Tung Wan Beach:
Lifeguard: Here¡¯s your next clue.
Lee: Thank you!
Keith: Let¡¯s quick!
Bryanna: Okay now! How about this?
Lifeguard: Hm...Okay!
Keith: :yess:
Lee: We must find the garden in one try Lili, or we¡¯re gone.
Lili: I know, I know!
Both teams tried to find the garden.

Noah¡¯s Ark Garden-Pitstop:
¡®Here it is!¡¯
¡®First try! :yess: ¡® They stepped onto the mat.
Greeter: Welcome to Hong Kong, China.
Phil: .........Bryanna & Keith, you, are team number...............5.
Keith: Phew...
Bryanna: That was just too close.
Four minutes later, Lili & Lee arrived.
Lee: We ended up at the expo. Hehe...
Phil: Lili & Lee, you¡¯re the last team to arrive.
Lili: From a huge lead to a huge bummer last place. Oh well...
Phil: I¡¯m very sorry to say...That there will be a Speedbump next leg that you¡¯ll have to complete. This is a predetermined Non-Elimination Leg!
Lee: Oh that is sweet! Thank goodness! :yess: :jumpy: :hearts: :wohoo:
Lili: Hahaha. :lol: I feel too sleepy to feel happy right now. :lol:

Lili (conf.): Today was an unlucky day for us. We went from first to devastating last. But at the strike of midnight our luck slowly came back for us and we were saved from elimination!
Lee (conf.): We¡¯ll surmount the Speedbump and not be last. Be sure of that.
