Episode Finale: 6 Continents, 12 Countries, And More Than 40,000 Miles...
Phil: Previously on RealShowFan’s The Amazing Race...11 teams raced around the world for one million dollars. They first head up north to Ontario, Canada, where Jenna & Kathryn lost to Jerome & JP by a foot, but were spared elimination. Teams then continued to another cool country, this time in Stockholm, Sweden. But due to Jerome & JP’s lack of mental skill, they arrived last and were the first team sent packing. At the third leg, teams head to Uppsala, then flew to Warsaw, Poland. It is here where teams were tricked to thinking there was a Pitstop, and that frustrated Lionel & Debra. Teams then were taken to Padova, Italy, where old teams Martin & Mackenzie arrived last due to a U-Turn, but were spared as well. Teams continue at Italy, in Lucca. Jenneco & Samantha couldn’t level each other and were therefore eliminated from the race. After that, teams leave Europe and head to the continent of Africa, to Luanda, in Angola, a country the US Amazing Race haven’t visited. The hot climate and contradictory environment got Bilius & Alejandro in last, and got them sent packing. The eight remaining teams then fly to Dubai, which a dhow caused Jenna & Kathryn’s elimination. Teams left Dubai and headed to the country of China, and arrived in Fuzhou. Joshua & Mitch lost in a Fast Forward and came up short, humiliated and eliminated. Teams continued their journey in China, and went to the multicultural city of Hong Kong, where Lili & Lee arrived in last place, being U-Turned, but were spared elimination in exchange for a Speedbump, a very speedy one. Teams then flew to Chiang Mai, Thailand, where they were greeted at the Pitstop with their next clue, leaving Penelope & Kristine frustrated, and Bryanna & Keith relieved. After completing tasks in Bangkok, they left Asia and headed off to Kerikeri, New Zealand, where Bryanna & Keith couldn’t catch up any longer and thus were eliminated. The Final Five left for South America and flew to Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is here where Lili & Lee were greeted with another U-Turn, couldn’t catch up, ended up in last place, but weren’t spared and were eliminated for good. The Final Four then flew to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Mackenzie: Brazil! :wohoo:
Gabrielle: :hearts: Oh my gosh this is so great!Phil: A Detour left teams either with full bellies or burnt palms.
Penelope: Dang...So much...
Holly: The crowd goes wild like a party! :wohoo:Phil: A very difficult Roadblock was a big struggle for 65-year-old Mackenzie.
Mackenzie: Fudge butternut chocolate biscuits. :groan:Phil: While a very struggling driver was huge difficulty to Lionel & Debra.
Taxi driver: I ask someone.
Debra: WHAT!?!?
Lionel: :groan: This idiotic driver doesn’t even know where it is!!!Phil: In the end, Martin & Mackenzie came up short and were the last team eliminated.
Mackenzie (with tears): It’s okay.
Martin: Yeah.Phil: Now three teams remain! Holly & Gabrielle, Professional Beach Volleyball Players...
Holly: We’re gonna try our best for this last leg.
Gabrielle: I will flirt like no other! :snicker: Phil: Penelope & Kristine, Sisters...
Kristine: Whatever happens, I’m proud of my sister. And to us for making it this far.
Penelope: We’re not gonna give in, though. Phil: Lionel & Debra, Recently Dating...
Debra: This is now or never, dear. Our chance of winning the million dollars.
Lionel: Time to get our gear up!Phil: Who will be crowned as the first winners of RealShowFan’s The Amazing Race???
Phil: Rio de Janeiro! This buzzling city with mixes of modern life and local customs, encompasses the final Pitstop of the race, the statue of Christ the Redeemer. This religious statue is where the Final Three teams will be leaving. Can Holly & Gabrielle use their 10-minute headstart to their advantage? Can Lionel & Debra get out of being second last and emerge as the winners? Can Penelope & Kristine finally win a leg, but this time along with the million dollars? Holly & Gabrielle, who were the first to arrive at 9:21pm, with the 10-minute headstart included, will depart at 9:11am.
First To Depart: 9:11amHolly: :knuckles: Take a marked cab, you don’t have to pay them, and go to Santos Dumont Airport and take flight to your final destination --- Fly to Newark, New Jersey! Once arrived, grab a marked car and make your way to Chancellor Green Library.
Phil: Teams must take their final flight of the race to Newark, New Jersey.
Phil: Once there, they must drive their way to this library in Princeton, New Jersey for their next clue.
Gabrielle: Final leg! Let’s go! This is the day we’ve been waiting for!
Holly: Not really. :res:
Gabrielle (conf.): Final Three! Pretty awesome! We thought we would have the chance though, we’re strong women.
Holly (conf.): We have a 10-minute lead and we’re excited to see how that’ll help us.
Gabrielle (conf.): Our million dollars are gonna be our shopping money! :funny:
Holly: Here is our cab, Gabrielle.
Gabrielle: Be grateful it’s for free.
Holly: Santos Dumont Airport?
Taxi driver: I already know.
Holly: Oh cool! Do you know any travel agencies nearby?
Taxi driver: Sorry, I must take you directly to the airport.
Holly: Wow...They’re testing our airport finding skills, I can see it now...
Gabrielle: How can the producers be such jerks? :groan:
They headed off.
Second To Depart: 9:39amKristine: Take flight to your final destination --- Newark, New Jersey!
Penelope: :wohoo:
Kristine: You have $1 for this leg of the race. :funny:
Penelope: Those must be the taxis!
Kristine (conf.): Wow! Final Three is a very great accomplishment!!!
Penelope (conf.): We are so glad to make it this far. :hearts:
Kristine (conf.): :wohoo: The excitement is killing me!
They headed off.
Santos Dumont Airport:Holly: Now how do we search flights that arrives New Jersey earliest?
Gabrielle: Let’s search for some Internet access.
Holly: Internet is the source for everything. :lol:
Third To Depart: 9:47amDebra: :kuss: This is it, honey.
Lionel: It is now or never.
Debra: I love you, babe.
Debra (conf.): We’re rocked it the whole way. We are very proud of ourselves for making it this far.
Lionel (conf.): We’re gonna win it, it’s gonna change our lives forever.
They headed off.
Santos Dumont Airport:Holly & Gabrielle managed to ask someone for their laptop. They struggled to find a flight because they rarely use online flight engines.
Holly: This is so difficult. :groan:
Gabrielle: Which website shall we go to?? Travelocity only has a Continental flight which departs at 5pm and arrives 7am! That is not a good flight!
Holly: I know! Stop panicking.
Gabrielle: I’m not panicking...Just frustrated.
Woman: Hey, ladies, I’m sorry, but I’m running out of batteries and I gotta go.
Holly: Aww really? Okay then.
Gabrielle: No! Please, let us see some more! It’s for a million dollars!
Woman: Sorry ladies! (When she thought she was far from earshot from them...) Million dollars, such liars.
Gabrielle: Dang it... :groan: We’re gonna lose our lead. :ascared
Penelope & Kristine arrived.
Penelope: We need to ask for a travel agency.
Kristine: Yeah.
They found someone to ask.
Tourist: No, there isn’t a travel agency near here.
Penelope: Wow, a place with computers?
Tourist: :duno: Good luck, though!
Kristine: Thanks. Let’s keep looking.
Holly & Gabrielle and Penelope & Kristine didn’t meet.
Kristine: This is really hard, sis!
Holly: Darn it. Any other options?
One team found the Internet area first.
Gabrielle: I thought so!
Holly: Great job, Gabrielle. ;D But now how are we gonna find flights???
Gabrielle: Maybe someone kind enough will help us?? :duno: Oh yes! :snicker:
Gabrielle walked up to a man.
Gabrielle: Sir, can you help us find a flight please? We don’t know how to work this thing and we really need help, it is really urgent for us. Please? :flirt:
Man: Why sure! Anything to help!
The man found flights to Newark, New Jersey.
Gabrielle: Huh? So late!
Man: I’m not a
real expert but this site normally gives out early flights! It does.
Gabrielle: Aw...Were there any other flights earlier?
Man: I don’t know, it doesn’t show that.
Gabrielle: Can you please, please,
please keep searching? I’ll be forever grateful! :kuss:
Man: Okay then! I have all the time in the world!
A few minutes later, Penelope & Kristine arrived.
Kristine: Oh they’re still here!
Kristine (conf.): We were so happy to see Holly & Gabrielle! Their time credit failed them!
Holly: Dang it!
Man: I can’t find anything else.
Gabrielle: You can do it! (Massages the man.)
Man: I’m sorry, I really can’t.
Gabrielle: Aw...why?
Holly: Ohh! Gabrielle, he’s married. :lol:
Gabrielle: Oh my gosh! What??
Holly: We’ll just get that flight then. :ascared
Holly (conf.): We lost our lead right off the bat. It sucks.
Lionel & Debra arrived.
Debra: How can we search for flights?
Lionel: I don’t know.
Debra: I don’t know what to do. :groan:
Debra (conf.): The taxi was clearly to test our flight finding skills. :lol:
Lionel: Hey look, it’s Holly & Gabrielle!
Debra: Wow...
Debra (conf.): It was a complete shock to see Holly & Gabrielle. And they looked frantic! :lol:
Lionel (conf.): We thought they were long gone. :lol: Guess ten minutes wasn’t enough.
Gabrielle: Holly, Lionel & Debra are there!!!
Holly: Dang, this is not our day.
Holly (conf.): We were completely unlucky. It was atrocious. :ascared
Lionel: Let’s check what they’re doing.
Debra: Are you sure?
Lionel: Yeah.
Lionel (conf.): It is the final leg. You have to do what you can! You have to use every bit of you to your advantage!
Debra (conf.): It clashes with the fact that in the final leg, it is NOT a good idea AT ALL to follow a team.
Lionel (conf.): Just for the flights, though.
Gabrielle (whispering to Holly): They’re gonna watch our moves.
Holly (whispering to Gabrielle): It’s annoying.
Counter worker: Hello, welcome to the Continental Airlines. ;D
Holly (whispering): We want the earliest flight to Newark, New Jersey, please?
Counter worker: Excuse me?
Holly: Ugh...
Lionel: It’s okay Holly, we heard you. Haha.
Holly: Oh fine.
Lionel (to Debra): Debra: Debra (conf.): I was so shocked to see Lionel do such a thing! Didn’t expect that of him!
Lionel (conf.): Don’t worry dear! I will never ever do that to you!
Debra (conf.): Ya better!
After Holly talked to the counter worker.
Counter worker: Ah, yes, there’s a 1615 flight connecting in Sao Paulo and arrives at Newark at 600 the next day.
Holly: Yeah. We’ll take two, the one nearest to the main exit.
Counter worker: I’ll do that...here you go.
Gabrielle: Were there other flights that departed earlier and arrived earlier?
Counter worker: I found a 10:05am one. It arrives at 3am.
Gabrielle: Doh, we could’ve gotten on that flight! :groan:
Lionel & Debra also got their tickets.
Debra: We’re on our way to U.S.A.! ;D
Lionel: Finally gonna be back home after this.
Lionel (conf.): I do miss my family. In the race, I felt it sometimes, but most of the time the tasks distracted me from it. :lol:
Debra (conf.): I’m used to being alone. :lol: But yeah, I miss my family a bit as well.
Holly: Now maybe we can still win this, let’s not worry.
Gabrielle: Oh really? It’s gonna be hard.
Penelope & Kristine tried to find flights that arrives earlier.
Kristine: I found one, sis!!!!
Penelope: What? Cool!
Kristine: Arrives at 3:34am!
Penelope: :wohoo: Hopefullly this is the earliest!
Kristine: I hope so too.
Penelope: Wait...Kristine, this is Business flight. Way to go. :groan:
Kristine: Oh my gosh really? Dang it!!! :groan: :ascared
Kristine (conf.): I am so nervous! :funny:
Penelope (conf.): To the point that she’s paranoid. :lol:
Kristine (conf.): Yeah. This may be a once in a lifetime chance! I don’t want to be embarrassed, which makes me nervous, which makes my embrrassment as a result. :groan:
Kristine: I give up, let’s just take the Continental Airlines flight.
Penelope: I wonder where Lionel & Debra are.
Penelope & Kristine got their tickets and caught up to the other two teams.
Phil: All three teams are now on a Continental Airlines flight that arrives at Newark, New Jersey at 6am.
Newark International Airport:Order of finding the cars were........................Holly & Gabrielle, Penelope & Kristine, and Lionel & Debra shortly after.
Gabrielle: We need a headstart in this, Holly.
Holly: Yup. Drive quickly!!
Kristine: Go sis! Go! :jumpy:
Penelope: Don’t do that! You’re making me jumpy!
Debra: Shoot, we’re last.
Lionel: We need to stay positive. Don’t give up hope.
On their way to Chancellor Green Library:Holly: Chancellor Green Library...here! Take that turn!
Gabrielle: There?
Holly: Yeah.
Gabrielle: Okay.
Kristine: Okay, sis, the library is in Princeton. There are two routes. Now I don’t study road mathematics, but I guess this is the shorter way.
Penelope: I trust you, Kristine. (She steered to the way Holly & Gabrielle didn’t take.)
Debra: Oh, babe, the volley girls went that way, the sisters that way. Which one?
Lionel: Going with my gut --- Penelope & Kristine.
Debra: I hope Holly & Gabrielle turned the wrong direction...
Chancellor Green Library:One team found their clue quickly.
Kristine: That was a tiring run. :lol:
Penelope: You bet it is...Detour! Analyze or Search!
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams have to decide between tasks requiring attention to detail and knowledge of the area they’re in. They need to Analyze or Search.
In Analyze, teams will be given a book and must read the book to find their next destination, which is also in Princeton. Once they find it, the librarian will hand them their next clue.
In Search, teams must go to a marked pile of books and find the book titled with their next destination, which is also in Princeton. Once they find it, the librarian will hand them their next clue.
Penelope: Hm...You pick, Kristine.
Kristine: Why me? We are a team, aren’t we?
Penelope: Yes but this is you! You’re the smart one.
Kristine: If you put it that way...hm...
Penelope: Kristine, there’s no more waiting.
Kristine: Analyze! Let’s do that.
Penelope: Okay! ;D
They got their book and started reading.
Kristine: There are actually fewer pages than I expected. But I ain’t complaining.
Penelope: The piles are not that huge as well.
Kristine: Let’s start. Remember, it’s in Princeton.
After a few minutes, another team arrived.
Debra: Detour!!
Lionel: Detour, Analyze or Search. You pick, honey.
Debra: Hmm...I would rather Search so let’s do that.
Debra (conf.): Analyzing is just too hard in my opinion. It is easier to miss the location.
They started searching.
Lionel: We should be able to do this quicker than them.
Debra: Oh really?? ‘Cause I don’t think so.
Penelope: This is harder than I thought!
A few minutes later, with neither teams successful, the final team arrived.
Holly: I do hope we’re first.
Gabrielle: I saw no one behind us. Detour, Analyze or Search?
Holly: Search, let’s go!
Gabrielle (after entering the library): Huh? They’re here!
Holly: Shh...Unbelievable.
Holly (conf.): How did they do that?!
Gabrielle (conf.): They must’ve found a shortcut!
All three teams worked on the Detour. After long minutes more, one team found out the location.
Kristine (whispering): :yess: I figured it out.
Penelope: Really? Where is it?
Kristine: Tell you later...Next clue please. We’re going here, right?
Librarian: Yes, here is your next clue. ;D
Kristine: Let’s go...!
Outside the library...
Penelope: Where was it??
Kristine: The University Art Museum!
Penelope: Wow, you’re awesome! You have a good eye!
Kristine: Walk to your next destination and go to its courtyard for your next clue!
Phil: Teams find that they have to go to the Princeton University Art Museum courtyard, where they’ll find their next clue.
Kristine: Walk! Okay! We need to leave our car behind!
Penelope: Great job, sis! Oh my god! I can’t believe we’re first!
Penelope (conf.): I was so excited at that moment! I thought that we had a chance of winning!
Kristine: We don’t have a map of Princeton so we’re gonna ask the locals. At least they speak English. ;D
They started asking for directions.
Debra: This sucks...
Lionel: Don’t give up now, Deb.
Holly: This...is...frustrating...
Gabrielle: Scream in a library. How cool would that be?
Gabrielle (conf.): It was getting so exasperating at that moment, seeing another team leave before us. It is like we lost the game!
Holly: Let’s not give up.
Holly (conf.): Clearly Penelope & Kristine made the right decision again.
Princeton University Art Museum:Local: There it is! See! It’s not that far!
Kristine: Thank you sir! Thank you so much!
Penelope: Do you see our clue?
Kristine: I think it’s inside.
Penelope: Yeah, let’s check.
Kristine: Oh no wait, we should check at the courtyard!
Penelope: Oh yeah, let’s go.
Chancellor Green Library:Another team completed the Detour.
Holly: I found it, Gabrielle.
Debra: Honey, they have it...It’s this one.
Gabrielle: Holly! The book! Idiot!
Holly: Dang it! I’m so stupid!
Librarian: Please keep quiet. I understand it’s a race for a million dollars but please...Here are your clues.
Lionel: Walk to your next destination...
Holly: I am so sorry, Gabrielle. :groan:
The two teams asked for directions.
Princeton University Art Museum:Kristine: Okay...What does the clue say?
Penelope: Roadblock! Who keeps track?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member must perform. In the final Roadblock of the race, that team member will be put into test of how much they remember their RTAR1 experience, by solving this puzzle. Once solved, the clue box will reveal their next clue.
Penelope: It has to be you!
Kristine: Yeah, I agree.
Penelope: Good luck, girl! You go and rock it!
The two other teams arrived.
Holly: I can hear Penelope & Kristine’s voices from here!
Debra: There’s the clue.
Gabrielle: I see it!
Debra: Roadblock!!
Gabrielle: Who keeps track?
Lionel: You should do it, babe.
Debra: Okay then. :kuss: Wish me luck.
Holly: I’ll do it!
Gabrielle: Yes, you have to redeem yourself.
Holly: Shut up. :res:
All three teams started to work on the Roadblock.
Debra (conf.): The Roadblock was so intense! I couldn’t help but peek at the other two girls! And I was so scared that someone will shout! My heart was beating faster than ever!
Kristine: So...Leg 1 first...Hm...
Holly: Leg 1...What did we do...
Debra: We didn’t do anything related to pigs in Canada...Let me think...Niagara Falls...CN Tower...the gardens...hockey. Maybe it’s this hockey puck.
Kristine: It has to be the hockey puck.
Hockey Roadblock is shown.Holly: Hockey puck, definitely. Yay! Now leg 2...
Debra: Leg 2...We went to Sweden...
Kristine: Hm...Ah, I know what it is.
Holly: Gosh, I don’t know... :groan: I think it’s a bucket?
Debra: It’s the Serve Coffee Detour.
Serve Coffee Detour is shown.Kristine: Leg 3?
Debra: That was a double leg...
Holly: We went to Italy and somewhere. Dang, my memory’s bad. :ascared
Debra: I have this gut feeling because it’s a Double Length Leg, we have to put in two things... :duno:
Kristine: We were in Warsaw and we played a sport. What was it...Hm...I remember using my hand. Basketball, it has to be it.
Holly: So...I’ll put in...Yeah, espresso’s from Italy...
Debra: Ah ha! We went to Uppsala and went to the orange farm to find a red orange. It’s the orange!
Orange Roadblock is shown.Debra: The espresso is next.
Kristine: We then were told it wasn’t a Pitstop and went to Italy...There, we have...the espresso Detour, that’s right.
The espresso-related Detour is shown.Holly: Next, we went to um...We stayed in Italy.
Kristine: Hm...Which one is it...?
Debra: Yeah...It’s this...I think it’s called a buccellato.
She put the doughnut (which was wrong) on the Leg 4 space.
Penelope, Gabrielle, and Lionel were eagerly looking at the Roadblockers.
Holly: I remember a ring shaped bread. This is it.
Kristine: This is it. I just know it. I can’t remember what it’s called, but it looks like this.
She put the treccia on the Leg 4 space.
Taddeucci Roadblock is shown.Debra: Okay, next, we went to Luanda.
Kristine: Country Africa.
Holly: I love this day, we U-Turned the fatties. :snicker:
Kristine: Ahh...It immediately came to me. The oar. ;D
Oar Detour is shown.Debra: Which is it? :duno:
Holly: Um...What did we do?
Kristine: Okay, now...Penelope’s love moment. :lol: Hm...
Debra: We went to the beach...
Holly: I’ll guess the oar. :groan:
Kristine: I remember! The dhow, which is shown in the Pitstop.
Dubai Museum Pitstop is shown.Debra: Oh yeah, the Oar or Shore Detour...
Kristine: Next, we went to another Asian country...Fuzhou, China.
Debra: In Dubai, there was a ship in the Pitstop.
Kristine: This is where we get the Travelocity Gnome.
Kristine instead picked the decoy Garden Gnome.
Holly: I can’t remember what we did in Dubai. :groan: Oh yeah, the eating Intersected Roadblock. I think Gabrielle had to eat pig meat. Gosh, this is so much fun.
Debra: And now Mr. Travelocity. ;D And we survived the painful Fast Forward.
Travelocity Gnome is shown.Kristine: We went to Hong Kong...
Debra: Bucket, in the extra task at Park Island.
Holly: China...Hm...I remember, we got the gnome.
Kristine: It’s either the bucket or the ice-skates...
Debra: Hm...I know what's next! Double Length Leg. In Thailand and New Zealand...
Kristine: The bucket doesn’t look like the one for sandcastles, so I’ll go with the ice-skates.
Ice-skate Roadblock is shown.Holly: We then continued to Hong Kong...Hmmm...
Debra: Thailand, we played golf.
Golf Roadblock is shown.Debra: And then in New Zealand, all we did was to eat chocolates.
Chocolate Roadblock is shown.Holly: Eh? We made a sandcastle, it should be the bucket. But I put the bucket in Sweden??? :groan: I don’t remember using a bucket in Sweden anyway...What should I do?
Holly (conf.): At that point the task got very confusing. :groan:
Kristine: Golf and chocolates, easy!!
Holly: I’ll leave it out...
Debra: Where did we go next? Hm...
Kristine: Argentina.
Debra: Buenos Aires...
Holly: Now...we went to Thailand and New Zealand. It is either the chocolates or golf. But I don’t think this is the chocolates we ate, so golf.
Debra: Wear or Chair Detour.
Kristine: Floralis Generica, it is the flower statue.
Floralis Generica is shown.Holly: In Argentina...Hm...
Kristine: Finally, we went to New Jersey-I mean Brazil!! We ate a crab. This is it!
Crab Detour is shown.Kristine buzzed.
Debra: Oh my god!
Holly: Dang it...

Penelope & Kristine started asking for directions.
Gabrielle: Come on, Holly!!!
Holly: Hmm...
Debra: Hmm...What if it’s this baguette, and not this doughnut thing? Hmm... :groan: It’s a treccia!!!!! I don’t want to give myself a nervous breakdown, so I’ll double check...
Debra (conf.): I couldn’t breathe well. It was so nerve-wrecking!!!
Holly: Of course, it may not be sugar, since we never saw sugar, just sugar is a part of the name of a mountain. But I remember the Grab or Crab Detour. I think it’s a crab.

Debra: Princeton Cemetery, okay. I’m so sorry baby!
Lionel: Nah, it’s okay. I believe we can still catch up!
Debra: I am terribly sorry.
Lionel: Don’t cry, honey! I hate it when you cry!
Debra (brushing her tears): Okay. I love you so much.
They started asking for directions.
Gabrielle: Holly... :groan:
Princeton Cemetery:Kristine: There it is!
Penelope: I’ll read the clue... Find a marked ‘grave’ and match the quotes with the person/thing that said it. Once done, further instructions will be given in the ‘grave’.
Phil: Teams must now match the quotes that was said in the entire race, one from each episode, either in the real race, by teams, by locals, from route markers, by me, or from confessionals.
Kristine: There’s a grave.
Penelope: Wow...We have thirteen quotes, and thirteen names to match them to.
Kristine: Oh, there are our names! :lol:
They began to match them.
Princeton University Art Museum:After a lot of wrong guesses, Holly finally got it.
Holly: Finally! Man, that was tough!
Gabrielle: You sucked back there, girl!
Holly: I’d like to see you try it.
Gabrielle: I just hope we can catch up somehow!! Princeton Cemetery...
Holly: Oh shoot I forgot the fanny pack!
Gabrielle: Holly you idiot! (:
Faster!
Holly: Shut up, Gabrielle! Let me do this! You’re panicking now!
Gabrielle: I’m sorry, but, for the million dollars, alright? I would like to go shopping today.
They headed to Princeton Cemetery.
Princeton Cemetery:Kristine: Let’s start from leg 1.
Penelope: “We have to take a TOUR!”
Kristine: Niagara Falls! Definitely!
Penelope: Oh, that was awesome.
Kristine: And the quotes...Us, Holly & Gabrielle, Lionel & Debra, Martin & Mackenzie, Bryanna & Keith, Lee, Mitch, and Fast Forward Warning. Fast Forward Warning??
Penelope: I know that! “Paintballs can leave you marks!”
Kristine: That makes perfect sense! Great job!
So let’s go back to the first. None of us said it, for sure.
Penelope: I think we should do the ones for us first.
Kristine: Yeah...Let’s see...I got one!! “There’s a cupid in Dubai!” I said it! :funny:
Penelope: Shut it, sis. I don’t even know the guy’s name upto now. :groan:
Kristine: Sorry, sis. What did you say?
Penelope: Let me see...... :duno: Sorry, can’t remember. Let’s go back to the first one.
Kristine: Okay then...By the way, I think the last one, “I’m so excited to dominate the men.”, is either Holly or Gabrielle. I’ll put their names there just in case.
Penelope: Good thinking!
Oh and, this one, “We’re farmers but we don’t farm oranges.” May be from Martin or Mackenzie!
Kristine: Oh yeah!!! Now
you good job!
Lionel & Debra arrived.
Debra: Darn, we have to do a memory task
againLionel: This time, it’s less than a memory task, it’s to know the players well. :groan:
They began as well.
Debra: At least we caught up to Penelope & Kristine!
Kristine: Lionel & Debra just came.
Kristine (conf.): The tension was brought back again! :groan:
Debra: Hmm...Oh, haha! “We have to take a TOUR!”, that’s me! :lol:
Lionel: :jumpy: And this “To me they’re like a troop of cheerleaders in uniform.”, it’s mine! :lol:
Debra: Fun memories.
Kristine: I think we should break them down now. In all honesty, I think Martin says this. Holly & Gabrielle, don’t know yet.
Penelope: Okay then, I believe in your instincts. We’ve made more good decisions than bad this race, might as well put them to their real test!
Debra: Oh! “Paintballs can leave you marks!” That’s the Fast Forward Warning!
Lionel: Oh yeah!! :funny: I still hated the task!
Debra: I still have markings. :groan:
Penelope: Oh, sis, I remember now, this is mine.
Kristine: “There are the fake queens!” Yeah, I think you said that.
Lionel: I think I heard Keith said this quote. “No, I am not diabetes-positive!” during the Roadblock.
Debra: Makes the most sense. :duno:
Kristine: Do you think Mitch said “If we’re last because of him I’ll sue him!”?
Penelope: Sounds like him! :funny:
Debra: Martin said this, I think.
Lionel: He is a farmer, very likely. Just do it.
Debra: And I think Mitch said this.
Lionel: Sue sounds like a businessman’s word! :lol:
Penelope: Sis, “Revenge is sweet, sweeter if long delayed, like success!” could be Holly & Gabrielle using the Yield on BilAl.
Kristine: Maybe!!
I think Gabrielle said it, it only makes sense that way. Let’s insert our guesses.
Lionel: Now this is getting hard...
Debra: Yeah.
Penelope: We have six left. Lionel & Debra, Mackenzie, Lee, and Bryanna & Keith.
Kristine: We should be able to nail them down, though.
Debra: Hm...I remember Kristine telling me about Penelope flirting with the guy in the Dubai leg. This might be Kristine.
Lionel: Maybe. :duno: Hope for the best!
Holly & Gabrielle arrived.
Holly: Darn! More thinking!
Gabrielle: When will we do physical stuff. :groan:
Kristine: I saw Holly & Gabrielle arrived. It’s now or never now.
Lionel: Did Holly & Gabrielle arrived?
Debra: Yeah. Now quiet, they might hear our guesses.
Kristine: I think Keith said “No, I am not diabetes-positive!” during the Makana Confections Roadblock.
Penelope: Yeah! I think I heard him say that!
Holly: “I’m so excited to dominate the men.”, mine. :lol: “Revenge is sweet, sweeter if long delayed, like success!”, yours. :funny:
Gabrielle: The good ol’ days! :funny:
Penelope: Oh, I am quite sure among all these people left, Bryanna would say “I beat you! I beat you!” :lol:
Kristine: Really? To who? :duno:
Penelope: To Joshua & Mitch!
Kristine: Oh lol, maybe so. The others don’t have enemies, maybe except Lee and Mackenzie.
Penelope: I think Debra said this quote.
Kristine: Yeah, I’ve been comtemplating that. And by process of elimination, only Lee would say “I have no Expedia skills, but I say we should go for it.”
Penelope: That leaves Lionel and Mackenzie.
Kristine: Mackenzie wouldn’t say this. Maybe she said this, “Please Lord let us find the clue.” Maybe in the Fast Forward. :duno:
Penelope: I’ll go with that...
Kristine: We’re done!!!
Debra: What!??!
Gabrielle: Already??! (:
Woman: Hmm..................Very good!!! Here is your next clue!!
Penelope & Kristine: :wohoo: :wohoo:
Lionel: Let’s keep thinking, we can do this.
Holly: Come on Gabrielle, let’s keep working!
Kristine: We did it again, sis!
Penelope: I know! You must now transfer six coffins from outside the cemetery to Morven. Once done, a man will hand you your next clue.
Phil: They must transfer six coffins manually to this museum where they’ll be handed their next clue.
Kristine: Those six??
Penelope: We’re gonna have to transfer them??
They took two and started dragging it.
Debra: Hm...
Holly: Let’s think thoroughly...
After a few minutes, one team receives their next clue.
Debra: Transfer six coffins. We can do this. We take two at a time!
Lionel: Maybe able to catch up.
Morven:Penelope: This sucks right now, sis.
Kristine: I know...This...is...hard...
Penelope: We made it!
Kristine: We drop them off here...Okay’s let’s go!
Princeton Cemetery:Gabrielle: This is so brain teasing. I hate it.
Holly: I can’t really get this...But we only have a few left.
They continued struggling.
Between Morven and Princeton Cemetery:Kristine: Look! Is that Lionel & Debra?
Penelope: Crap!
Debra: Oh my! Penelope & Kristine!
Lionel: Let’s go faster...
Morven:Debra: There’s our first two. Two more rounds!
Lionel: We can do this!
Princeton Cemetery:Kristine: Holly & Gabrielle are still here.
Holly: Dang... :groan:
Gabrielle: :groan:
Penelope: Let’s go.
Holly & Gabrielle continued to struggle. Five minutes later, Lionel & Debra arrived and took two more coffins.
Lionel: Do you think we should take three instead?
Debra: No, why?
Lionel: So that we only take one for our last round, that might help us.
Debra: Okay then... :duno:
Morven:Penelope: My arm’s cramping. :ascared
Kristine: Just two more, sis. We can do this! Stay strong!
Penelope: For you and for the million and for our supporters, yes, I’ll try my 110%.
Between Morven and Princeton Cemetery:Lionel: Babe, this might be a bad decision.
Debra: Yeah, I think so too...
Lionel: Whew! So heavy!
Penelope: Lionel & Deb are there.
Kristine: Hey guys, again.
Penelope: No time for greetings!
Debra: :groan: Come on, baby, we gotta do this!
Lionel: I know! Let’s go again...
Princeton Cemetery:Woman: Congratulations! You finally did it!
Holly: Thanks!
Finally!!!!Gabrielle: Let’s take three at a time!! We can still catch up!!
They did drag three. Two minutes later, Penelope & Kristine arrived and dragged their final two coffins.
Penelope: Ow!!
Kristine: What happened?
Penelope: Ow, my arm, sis, it really hurts.
Kristine: :ascared Should we continue?
Penelope: Ugh...
Penelope (conf.): I was so scared at that moment. I thought of taking a long rest or medical attention. I didn’t know what to do!!!
Morven:Debra: Yes! Great job babe!
Lionel: Gosh, this is heavy...Just one more! We can do this babe, for the million bucks!
Princeton Cemetery:Kristine: Sis, what do you want to do?
Kristine (conf.): It didn’t matter to me what my sister chooses to do. She is worth more than a million dollars, for God’s sake!!
Penelope: I’ll carry on...Let’s do this!
Kristine: It’s okay, sis, I’m so proud of you.
Kristine (conf.) (with tears): It really touched me that she gave more than her all. She really is my best friend, I’m sure that hurt so bad.
Penelope (conf.): I couldn’t let my sister down, I’ve made her proud ever since day one. I tried my very and ultimate best to take that coffin. It was really hard and painful.
Holly & Gabrielle arrived at Morven with their three first coffins. Two minutes later, Lionel & Debra arrived at Princeton Cemetery and took their final coffin. One minute later, Penelope & Kristine arrived at Morven with their final two coffins.
Kristine: :yess: I am SO, SO,
SO proud of you, sis!! I can’t believe you would continue on.
Penelope: It wasn’t easy. But I don’t want to quit on the last leg!!!
Kristine: Haha, thanks, sis.
Self-drive to the only hotel in downtown Princeton and search for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now make their way to Nassau Inn for their next clue.
Kristine: Let’s go!
Penelope: Ma’am, do you know of any hotels? Please, it’s really urgent!
Local: There’s only one hotel here. Nassau Inn. It’s over there.
Kristine: Gracias, miss, thank you so much! Let’s go!
Penelope: This is so exciting! :wohoo:
Kristine: I’m about to pee in my pants!
Penelope: Don’t pull a Kisha & Jen! :lol:
Kristine: Oh wait! We need to take a car!
Penelope: Darn, we have to retrace our steps. We left our cars at the library.
Princeton Cemetery:Gabrielle: Come on, Holly! We need to do this!
Holly: I know what I’m doing! Let’s just go!
Gabrielle (conf.): It was really a critical time. We were last, and we’re competitive ladies.
Holly (conf.): Yes we are and losing is not common to us.
They dragged their final three coffins.
Morven:Lionel & Debra arrived with their final coffin.
Debra: Self-drive to the only hotel in Princeton. Hm...
Lionel: Let’s ask the locals before we head back for our cars.
They found out that it was Nassau Inn and ran back for their car.
A few minutes later, Holly & Gabrielle arrived, received their clue, and asked for what the hotel is.
Gabrielle: Sir, can you tell us what is the only hotel here in Princeton? Please, please! :flirt:
Local: Oh yeah, Nassau Inn. Over there!
Gabrielle: That building there? Over there?
Local: Yeah.
Gabrielle: Thank you so much, sir! :kuss:
Local: Wait a minute, are you Gabrielle Reece??
Gabrielle: Sorry, can’t chat now!!!!!
Chancellor Green Library:Kristine: Here we are!
Penelope: Let’s go...I see the hotel, it’s the brown one.
Kristine: Crap! Lionel & Debra are just behind us!
Penelope: Drive now, sis!
Debra: Babe, we caught up! Let’s go!
The two teams raced to Nassau Inn.
Nassau Inn:One team retrieved the clue first.
Lionel: I got it!
Penelope: Damn! Read fast, sis!!!!
Debra: Shoot! Run to the Finish Line! Princeton Battle Monument!
Phil: Teams must now go on foot to the Finish Line: Princeton Battle Monument. This battle monument marks the end of the teams’ long battle. The first team to check-in here wins the million dollars!
Kristine: Quick! Go! Go! Go!
Debra: My gosh!
At this moment, Holly & Gabrielle arrived at Chancellor Green Library and started driving to Nassau Inn.
Debra: Is anyone there? Hello, can you help me?
Penelope: Sir, we need to go to Princeton Battle Monument.
Woman: Sure! You go...
Man: Okay! Take a...
After telling their directions, both were not the same route.
Penelope: Thanks!
Debra: Thank you sir.
Lionel: Come on, babe, for the million!
Kristine: I am so nervous right now! :ascared
Both teams are seen taking their separate ways to Princeton Battle Monument. They are shown scene by scene of them running, hoping they would get the fastest way. A few minutes later, Holly & Gabrielle arrived at Nassau Inn.
Holly: Princeton Battle Monument!
Gabrielle: Come on! We may still be able to beat them in a footrace!
Holly: Miss, can you tell us how to get to Princeton Battle Monument?
Woman: Okay! (She tells the directions.)
Holly: Let’s run the fastest we’ve ever run!

Holly (conf.): This race was awesome. Not much at the start, but when you see the result, and looked back, it was a blast.

Kristine (conf.): I learnt a lot from Penelope. That she is very willing to get work done for the people she loves. I wish I could’ve done the same though.
Penelope (conf.): You have, sis! We’re not the traveling type of couple! But we as a team proved it!
Kristine (conf.): Thanks, sis, you really are the best. ;D
Penelope (conf.): And you’re my best too. ;D Even with the million dollars, you’ll still be my first priority.
Kristine (conf.): This has been great fun. I would do it again if given the chance.
