Racers Revealed

Phil: Princeton, New Jersey. This ‘college town’ and friendly, peaceful city is a great place to run around, with delightful air and friendly locals. And deep in the heart of the city, the Princeton Battle Monument. This landmark signifies the racers fighting against each other in a battlefield around the world. In the end, sisters Penelope Tanner & Kristine Tanner of South Dakota beat all the odds, by being an all-female team and never winning a previous leg, then stepped on the Finish Mat first and in result won the million dollars and title of ‘The Amazing Racer’ of RealShowFan’s The Amazing Race 1. Now, after much research and scouting from production crews, and millions of applications read and watched, we have handpicked all locations and tasks, and the twelve racers that’ll be racing in a new race around the world. This is RealShowFan’s The Amazing Race 2’s Racers Revealed...

Phil: The first season was a smashing success, with sisters Penelope & Kristine emerging victorious. Now, who will be the second winner of the RTAR series? I am now standing beside a ship hotel. This is where twelve new teams will face against one another in a race around the world for one millions dollars and the title of ‘The Amazing Racer’. These twelve teams were carefully chosen by producers based on how much entertainment they will bring to the race. One by one, we will introduce the teams in this special episode of Racers Revealed.

RSF: The teams chosen for this season, we think, are a very zany group of people, greatly differing to the many rational players in season 1. We’re going for a whole new approach this season and we want to see how it’ll play out ‘cause we can’t have all seasons having so called ‘boring’ teams. At the same time, we want to pick teams with a unique background story, combine all of these together in a race, it’ll be interesting to see how it’ll end up.

Phil: Now, we will present the teams that’ll be racing for the million dollars...

KENTARO Iwakura & YAMAZAKI Umeki, Japanese American Dads from Boise City, Idaho.
Yamazaki: We must be extremely cool to be accepted in the race. What a delight.
Kentaro: We both love watching The Amazing Race and have our own race in our backyard with our children and relatives. Those were a blast!
Yamazaki: It’s gonna be awesome to see how we will do in the real race.

Kentaro: I am Kentaro Iwakura, age 49, married with three children. Three words to describe me would be...mad...zen...and passionate.
Yamazaki: Passionate??
Kentaro: Yeah. So?
Yamazaki: Oh, no, I believe in mad and zen, but passionate? Hm...that’s too sensual.
Kentaro: Fine, then. Fanatical.
Yamazaki: I was thinking more of obsessive.
Kentaro: Fine, then. :res:

Yamazaki: I am Yamazaki Umeki, age 46, married with FOUR children, thank you very much. Three words to describe me would be commemorative, comical, and- (is cut off)
Kentaro: Lazy.
Yamazaki: Uh, yeah, that’s true. I love drinking ten beers a day. :lol:
Kentaro: :lol:
Yamazaki: We love this game. We love the drama, the epitome, whatever that word is, and we just love cries of the women! Well I do, at least.
Kentaro: We first met when Yamazaki moved into Boise City, Idaho and from the first moment we met we clicked. It was like instant noodles.
Yamazaki: Yeah and for some reason, we both knew that the other loved watching reality shows. It was such a coincidence. We’re like gravity and the Earth!
Kentaro: Our worries while being on the race would be our laziness. Our wives keep complaining how lazy we are. Always watching and playing video games.
Yamazaki: And partying and drinking beer in my case. But we’re just party animals and we love to live the relaxing life!
Kentaro: The Amazing Race is just a bonus and to prove our wives that we are the best for them.
Yamazaki: Yes. I am sure Kentaro and I will be the team to watch out for.
Kentaro: We are close friends and we work well together. We will do this race very well.
Yamazaki: Yeah! This guy’s great to co-operate with! He never argues back and that is a huge advantage for the race.
Kentaro: We will make Lililee and the Asians proud.
RSF: These guys are very wacky and relaxed, that’s their only similarities besides being guys, fathers, and Asians. But the rest of it is the opposite. We have Kentaro the zen and Yamazaki the rushed. It will be interesting to see them making decisions, especially for a Detour. The guys are known to be very lazy, but in the real race we have lazy teams going far. And with them bonded together, we will see if destiny puts them as ‘The Amazing Racer’ for season 2.

CECILIA Nordenstam & JEAN Gluck, Poker Players from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Jean: We joined this race shortly after we got rejected by Jean-Robert Bellande to participate in The Amazing Race 15. It sucks, we would have done much better than Maria & Tiffany, we think.
Cecilia: Yeah! We only watched the premiere before leaving to sequesterville. And they were LAST in the first leg! Woah!
Jean: We just want to get a pro poker player to win a reality game show. J.R.B. lost Survivor with very little popularity, Annie almost won the Apprentice but not close enough, and I don’t think Maria & Tiffany will make it past the next episode!
Cecilia: Yeah. We are definitely excited to be in a race around the world for a million bucks. Just for the experience and fame, not for the money. We’re richer than that! :lol: And we travel a lot, so that’s a good advantage.

Cecilia: I’m Cecilia Nordenstam, and I’m 25 years old. I live in Gotheburg, but recently moved to Las Vegas to play some poka! It’s quite some time since my last tournament, which I got 24th in. Being in the poker industry, it’ll be hard for me to have a relaxing time in the race. We could be the next Holly & Gabrielle and get chased by loving fans. Three words to describe me would be...playful...sneaky...and of course, calculating.
Jean: She is a great person.
Cecilia: I am sneaky though. I have this smile that sometimes people misintepret as friendly, but it’s actually my sly smile. :snicker:
Jean: Yeah. Got me the first time.
Cecilia: And to those wondering, I already have a boyfriend! :neener:

Jean: I am Jean Gluck. I am an amateur poker player, not a very famous one so I think that’ll put me at an advantage. I can be sneaky, and they won’t know it! Three words to describe me, I would say are underhanded, under-the-radar, and blissful.
Cecilia: Blissful. :funny:
Jean: What? That’s my opinion. How would you describe me?
Cecilia: The same things I described myself!
Jean: You’re such a tease!
Cecilia: Whatever. At least I’m not haughty, just a hottie. :lol:
Jean: :res: Anyway...
Cecilia (clears throat): Sorry. We’re gonna make the poker players proud! We’re not pros, but we never give up.
Jean: We have a lot of things for the race that they just cannot not accept us!
Cecilia: I am so excited Jean!
Jean: Me too! Hopefully we will do some interesting things in the race!
Cecilia: Yeah. But the bad things for us include the fact that we don’t want to get dirty, I mean like doing muddy work. We can get down and dirty when it comes to the Yield or U-Turn, but we want to keep ourselves healthy and content.
Jean: Yeah. I agree.
RSF: Cecilia & Jean I think will be the drama team of the season. Just from their application and interviews, I can tell they’re not gonna like this race as I don’t recall a task this season which requires teams to take some manicure or to win a poker tournament! We chose them to participate in the race because we want to see if they will be willing to get dirty besides being sneaky. And if not, we would like to see how sneaky they are willing to go. They should make for an interesting season.

RONELL Jackson & RENEE Joans, Divorced 3 Years from Wichita, Kansas.
Renee: I caught him cheating on me, and he didn’t treat me very well either, so I can’t see the future having us two together.
Ronell: Come on, babe! I’m sorry! I made a mistake of dating another woman!
Renee: You mean women!
Ronell: What? No, woman! And I didn’t mean to be so harmful to you! Buster died, didn’t I tell you?
Renee: But he’s a dog! Gosh!
Ronell: Oh come on! Give me a break!
Renee: I have. But then you decided to apply for the race. I can’t believe I actually accepted it as well.
Ronell (alone): I really hope I can win Renee’s heart back. She’s the only human being I have fun with.
Renee (alone): Secretly, I wanna give Ron a second chance, that’s the number one reason I accepted his application in the first place. All I can do now is wait and see, show the world how he treats me. If he treats me better, then I promise I’ll forgive him. But if he treats me just how Jonathan treats Victoria, then no way am I spending the rest of my life with him. I really hope he comes to his senses and realizes that I was his girlfriend, that he has to treat me well.
Ronell: Don’t worry baby. Let’s have fun in this. :kuss:

Ronell: I am Ronell Jackson, 34 years old, residing in Wichita. Three words to describe me would be...tough, powerful, and...aggressive. Am I right?
Renee: You forgot some things...
Ronell: Oh, please, babe. I will be a powerhouse in physical challenges, and we can easily get others do the work for us with me around.
Renee: Okay...

Renee: I am Renee Joans, I’m 29. I look younger because I have a priviledged family. Three words to describe me are trendy, tranquil, and rational. I love fashion, it’s my life. But most of all, I love hats. Fashionable hats are just my thing. From berets to fezes and cowboy hats. Now I’m wearing a fedora. Hats are just my thing, I don’t know why I love them, but I just do, they give me character and class.
Ronell: It is obvious what our disadvantages are but I will try my best to stay calm and collected. I don’t want to lose my girl.
Renee: Yes. This’ll be a do or die for our relationship.
RSF: This couple needs a decider and I think this race will be the turning point. We are all hoping for a good ending for the both of them. This is Ronell’s ultimate chance to make a good impression. It will be interesting to see how it will play out, and we’re all hoping it’ll play out the way we want to. We chose this team for this reason and the fact they look like they’ll either be good entertainers like Nathan & Jennifer, or a horrible blunder like Jonathan & Victoria.

TARRY Ritcht & BENNY Yaknnowc, Fashion Designers from San Francisco, California.
Benny: I have Asperger’s Syndrome, that is something that I always say first when I meet someone new. It’s very annoying to me. :groan:
Tarry: We both work in the fashion industry. I think Benny has a great taste when it comes to fashion! It’s really unique and intense!
Benny: Then I found out that was the work of the syndrome. It’s hard for me to do this race, but I, and we, love this race so much. But it’s hard for me to get away from my daily habits and do the race.
Tarry: Yeah. It bugs me that Benny keeps doing the same activities over and over. It’s frustrating me. So I decided to help him and give him support, so now we’re here. I hope Benny can cope with the race.
Benny: It’s gonna be a tough job.

Tarry: My name is Tarry Ritcht, formerly Tarotao Ritcht, such a stupid name! A combination of my parents’ names Taroisia and Paolo. I don’t know where they get their creativity from. :groan: Three words to describe me would be-(is cut off)
Benny: Understanding, imaginative, and friendly.
Tarry: Thanks, Benny!
Benny: Well, it’s true.
Tarry: I love fashion. It’s like my dog, a man’s best friend. ;D

Benny: I am Benny Yaknnowc, age 22. Three woulds to describe me would be antisocial, habitual, and intense...
Tarry: Oh, come on, Benny! The Amazing Race 15 just had a person with Aspergers! I hope his team goes far! In my words, I’d describe you as strong-minded, brave, and special!
Benny: Aw...Thanks Tar. And speaking of names, my family name is probably the weirdest of all.
Tarry: Ya-no-ck. :lol: Russian family.
Benny: My father is Russian. It is so annoying. Why do I have such a terrible life?
Tarry: Don’t be such a pessimist, Benny. I hate it when you say such stuff and have a large smile at the same time!
Benny: Sorry...I guess I am also annoying...
Tarry: :groan:
Tarry (alone): I feel so bad for Benny and I hope this race will help show him that even with a disheartening syndrome, that cannot affect his life forever.
RSF: This is different from The Amazing Race 15’s Zev Glassenberg & Justin Kanew. They are best friends, whilst Tarry & Benny are like Jenna & Kathryn of last season. It will be a challenge for both of them, we think, in terms of co-operation and teamwork. We ultimately picked them because of Tarry’s reasoning to participate in the race, to help Benny see light at the end of the tunnel, to see that fun is possible in a life like his.

GLORIETTA Gallagher & ARNOLD Gallagher, Newlyweds from Denton, Texas.
Arnold: Glorietta and I met when watching a talk show as audience. We met each other afterwards and we had a blast together and we fell in love.
Glorietta: We started um...dating...And it turns out we have a lot of similarities between each other!
Arnold: Yeah! Other than the physical features, we both love the hot weather, we hate our fathers, we were always teased, and most important of all, we both love watching The Amazing Race and we love Charla!
Glorietta: Yep, it’s faith. :flirt: Jai Ho! :lol:
Arnold: I never took my mind off of her ever since.
Glorietta: Arnold’s a gentleman. He’s just gorgeous and adorable!
Arnold: :flirt:

Glorietta: I am Glorietta Gallagher, 40 years old. Three words to describe myself would be feisty, go-getting, and adventurous. I lived in Spain and I went bull-fighting. It was a blast! I brought Arnold along the last time and he did so well himself! I was surprised!
Arnold: Yeah, me too! :lol:
Glorietta: I just can’t find a difference in this guy compared with me.

Arnold: My name is Arnold Gallagher, age 41. Three words to describe me would be sharp, witty, and gentle.
Glorietta: You darn right he is.
Arnold: Thanks, dear! :kuss:
Glorietta: I think this race will be more of a honeymoon rather than a do or die decider. I am 99.999999999% sure he is the guy for me. I’ve been waiting my whole life since adolescence for a man like him.
Arnold: Yes. I have been waiting for her. I am so glad she came to my life. We’re already a happy couple.
Glorietta: Disadvantages I think would be our physical aspects. Us little people don’t get a lot of priviledge compared to other people.
Arnold: Yeah. We’re not fast runners either so we’re hoping for less footwork, more driving.
Glorietta: But we are trying our best in other aspects such as mental tasks and strength.
Arnold: And we’ve vowed not to get overstressed because that’s gonna kill our honeymoon.
Both: Size doesn’t matter!
RSF: I love how they deny the fact that the race will help them decide their relationship’s destiny. It will be interesting to see what will happen to them. Their teamwork and bond and love for each other has convinced us to accept them. They certainly won’t be a dramatic team from my point of view, but I also can’t see them winning the race. We’ll see, though!

MONICA Gentry & SHEENA Swan, Disabled Sisters from Waterloo, Iowa.
Sheena: We are living the very intricate life. Being disabled really is discouraging. I have a prosthetic leg.
Monica: And I am partially blind. All my life I’ve been doing stuff with not much good vision, and it’s really tricky. I use this trick where I click my tongue and I can guess where I am in. But still, I would love to see the world. It would be nice to see the places I’ll be visiting, in good vision, of course.
Sheena: And Sarah of The Amazing Race 10 has encouraged me to step up to the plate and compete in the race. I know I will have a hard time, as I am still not very used to my prosthetic leg, but I am trying.
Monica: Sometimes I think of committing suicide. But the support from my sister encouraged me to carry on with life and enjoy what I have. My life is all a humbling experience.

Monica: I am Monica Gentry, 29 of age. I am learning how to play the piano, since that’s about the only thing I can do and want to do and love doing it. The three words to describe myself other than blind is...hm...trying, lucky, and careful. All these based on my disability to see, at least partially see. I feel very lucky to be able to see a bit of the things I would see.
Sheena: She’s living a harder life than me. I feel bad for her. I am giving her all my support.
Monica: And I thank my sister dearly for that.
Sheena: Thanks. ;D

Sheena: I am Sheena Swan and I am 27 years old. Three words to describe me would be...crazy...analytical, and graceful. I lost my right leg when I was young, almost got killed in a car crash. It sucks. I am very thankful to my husband who didn’t leave me. I love him so much and that love is transferred to my sister.
Monica: Our life is very horrible and we are so thankful that we are chosen to compete in The Amazing Race.
Sheena: We are trying to improve our lives. It has been constantly improving but only to a little amount.
Monica: The reason I am still alive is because of my sister. She is the greatest thing in the world, and that’s a great gain.
Sheena: Monica has taught me a lot of lesson about life. Doing this race could really change our lives forever.
RSF: Monica & Sheena are such a poor team, it will be very hard for them to keep up with the others. Communication will be a problem as well as navigating as Sheena will probably have to do both the maps and the driving. They are taking a big risk by joining this but it’s for the better.

ADOLPH McRegor & JUANITA Lozada, Dating Long Distance from Milwaukee, Michigan.
Adolph: Hello, I’m Adolph. I originally come from Sweden, moved to USA at teenage age.
Juanita: I am Juanita. I come from the Philippines but currently living in America with my lover, Adolph.
Adolph: We met where every other Facebook users met their lovers, in the Internet.
Juanita: At first I thought Adolph was a liar and showed me fake photos of him. But it turned out, they were true! I was nervous to go to the United States to meet him, but when I met him, he was fine. It made me love him more, actually. :flirt:
Adolph: I am a man of my word and I don’t want to lie. Besides, I loved Juanita the first time I saw her. Our love just connected, like we are made for each other.

Adolph: I am Adolph McRegor, 42 years of age. I love traveling around the world. I’ve been to Sweden, Germany, Greece, China, South Korea, and more that I can think of. I retired from it though, now with no regrets ever since I met her.
Juanita: Oh, stop. You’re adorable.
Adolph: ;D Three words to describe me would be...amusing, imaginative, and adaptable. Amusing because I love to have fun. Imaginative because I develop it from my witty personality. And I get along really well so I am really an adaptable person.
Juanita: Anyone can love him and he loves everyone! He is just so great!

Juanita: I am Juanita Lozada, 48 years old, quite an age difference for me...
Adolph: It’s okay.
Juanita: I would describe myself as shy, anxious, but a fun-lover.
Adolph: Why would you describe yourself as shy?
Juanita: I am not the most sociable of them all. It’s not that it’s hard for me to get along with everyone. Rather it’s hard for them to get along with me. I describe myself as anxious because I tend to worry a lot.
Adolph: Yeah you do. :lol:
Juanita: And I am a fun-lover! Easy as that!
Adolph: We will fight the other racers with care!
Juanita: :funny: Yeah! Kill ‘em with kindness!
Adolph: Yep. Hopefully teams this season are kind.
Juanita: Yeah, like most of the teams last season.
Adolph: Disadvantages? Hm...
Juanita: I think I will be the burden and liability of the team because Adolph’s got like, 99% of our advantages! He’s nice, sociable, caring, smart, inventive, and he has traveled to other countries!
Adolph: Mainly Europe, though. So if we go there then hopefully! :yess:
Juanita: :yess: While me, opposite.
Adolph: Don’t blame on yourself! If I had gone the race with someone else but my lover, our co-operation won’t be as good!
Juanita: Really? Thanks, baby! :kuss:
Adolph: Disadvantages as a team would be our strength and speed.
Juanita: And the driving. I drive, but not as much. Adolph drives even less.
Adolph: I did drive a long time ago. Just to get my license. Since then I can’t remember the last time I drove a car. :lol:
Juanita: :lol:
RSF: This team I think has one of the best love and co-operation and so they will do great at that field. However, I just can’t picture this team winning. But then again, anything can happen in the race! They have such a good chemistry that it just might be able to topple over all!

STEPHEN Fishbach & J.T. Thomas, Best Friends from New York City, New York.
J.T.: We’re on The Amazing Race, Stevie! That is awesome!
Stephen: It’s something I want to do besides Survivor and going to Antarctica! :wohoo:
J.T.: We’re gonna be the Rob & Amber this season ‘cause we’re gonna rock it!
Stephen: Rob & Amber? Does that mean I am Amber???
J.T.: Well considering I and Rob are the strength of the team, you are on Amber’s side! :lol:
Stephen: :res:
J.T.: Stephen and I met while competing in Survivor: Tocantins. We rocked like hell in that game.
Stephen: Yeah, it was actually a humbling experience. We were down in numbers going to the merge but with our closeness with one another and the collapse of the Timbira tribe we overcame the odds. But unfortunately J.T. won.
J.T.: But my best bud Stevie here and I are working on a business together!
Stephen: Yeah.
J.T.: I know how much Stephen loves traveling and so we applied for this race as the first test after Survivor. We are so happy to be picked.
Stephen: It’s going to be an adventure of a lifetime, I assure you! My favorites for the first season were Martin & Mackenzie because they overcame the odds but sadly they were the last team eliminated.

Stephen: My name is Stephen Fishbach, I am 29. Three words to describe me would be intellectual, conniving, and sociable.
J.T.: He got second in Survivor: Tocantins.
Stephen: It was frustrating but I got over it.
J.T.: Besides, I am working with him. :funny:
Stephen: :lol: Yeah, yeah that’s a good point.
J.T.: But Stephen’s a great kid, man.
Stephen: You know, calling me a kid isn’t gonna make sense since I am older than you.
J.T.: But still, Stephen, you’re a kid.
Stephen: Yah okay, I get your point. It’s sucks to stop building fire now...

J.T.: I am J.T., age 25. I used to be a cattle rancher from Alabama but I still am, but now I need to work with Stevie and decided to get a small job. Luckily no one from there knows me!
Stephen: They probably will now!
J.T.: Yeah.
Stephen: Our great concerns. Everyone loves to trust J.T. and that helped him win the game easily. But for this, we’re not quite sure. Since there’s a good enough chance they won’t let us win because of how rich J.T. already is and that they know we’ve been in sneaky situations and will try to push us off the race.
J.T.: But being in Survivor provides us with advantages going into The Amazing Race. We are strong and fit, we are sneaky, and we are now very sociable.
Stephen: Not to mention our popularity with the people!
J.T.: Yep!
Stephen: We do have disadvantages, however, and these include over-popularity, we’re rich and we can’t hide it, and um...yeah.
J.T.: But we definitely have more good points than bad.
RSF: This is probably the team to beat and from first impressions it seems to me they are not only Rob & Amber, but an improved version of them. They just look like the perfect team. I really can’t find any fault in them. They will go far, for sure. If not, I’ll jump into Toliman Volcano. :lol:

AIDA Esposito & ALPHONSE Esposito, Daughter / Father from Billings, Montana.
Alphonse: We come from an Italian family. That is really cool. We have a big history, that’s all I can say, the rest are confidential.
Aida: My father and I are really close. We’re party animals.
Alphonse: Yes, that’s right. We love all kinds of parties, discotheques, birthday parties, weddings, etc. We just love celebrations.
Aida: We’re really active. We do a lot of traveling, and a lot of sports.
Alphonse: We are so bonded, we don’t think anything, and I mean ANYTHING, can pull us apart.
Aida: I love mama, but I love papa more! :kuss:
Alphonse: I am gonna miss darling dearly when we’re in the race.

Aida: I am Aida, 27 years old, but I look a LOT younger, do I? I love being clean and keeping healthy. It’s an important aspect of the good life. Three words to describe me would be...fit, active, and lovable!
Alphonse: Lovable! Aida is a really lovely girl, turned into an honourable woman.
Aida: My life is just perfect right now! I feel very lucky! I feel lucky to have my dad as my dad, my mama as my mama, my brother as my sister. :funny: I’m just joking!
Alphonse: She loves to joke! But that’s my girl!
Aida: Papa! :kuss:

Alphonse: I’m Alphonse Esposito, age 57. Three words to talk about myself...I would feel...energetic, festive, and great.
Aida: Great?
Alphonse: :lol: I know, stupid word. But we’re not smart.
Aida: We?
Alphonse: Oops! I mean me! :lol:
Aida: But I love my papa! He’s the best!
Alphonse: We will have fun doing this race! It’s gonna change us!
Aida: How exciting!
Alphonse: I know!
Aida: Disadvantages...hm...Maybe the mental part of the game, and the fact we are very careless.
Alphonse: Yeah! Both of us! But we told each other we will try our best to take care of our passports and travel documents.
Aida: Yup, we don’t want to fall by the wayside!
RSF: This is a very energetic team. So energetic, they remind us of Ida & Tania. Which means that they have a good chance to go far. But they noted themselves as careless, which is a problem, and apparently the next Speedbump. Only, this ‘Speedbump’ has a worse effect. We will want to see how active they will do the tasks and more importantly, how well they will do them.

JUSTIN Guttey & CATHY Guttey, Married Soldiers from Seattle, Washington.
Cathy: We are gonna rock this. We are a very strong team. We can beat the others in a foot race anytime!
Justin: That’s right! This will be a piece of cake! It’ll just be like a walk in the park style of mission.
Cathy: Justin and I met in a Police Academy. We were always together in group activities and after that, along with our decisions to be soldiers, we figured that we were made for each other and got married shortly after.
Justin: It was bittersweet, but we have no problems in our relationship.
Cathy: This race will be the ultimate test for us in terms of social personalities. But our missions pretty much already accomplished that. But we’ll see what this race will do to us!
Justin: The Amazing Race is just like one huge obstacle, we just need to complete them smoothly to win. No rush.

Justin: I am Guttey. Justin Guttey. 40 years old. Three words to describe me would be...analytical, strong, and strong-willed.
Cathy: He has one soul, with one mission.
Justin: That’s my motto. One soul, one mission.
Cathy: Isn’t he just great?
Justin: A reason I joined the Air Force was because I love the adrenaline. I risk my life, but it’s for the good of the country, and I’m glad I did it.
Cathy: Yeah. We love our job.

Cathy: Cathy Guttey, 40 also. I would describe myself as intelligent, tough, and composed. I keep my cool, I am very excellent at that. That will help us in the race since we’ll not be the dramatic team.
Justin: We are the biggest threat. We are going to win this game!
Cathy: It is gonna be very easy for us. We accept the challenge.
Justin: Bring it on!
RSF: Undoubtedly the toughest team physically for this season. They are so sure of themselves, it will be devastating to them if they don’t win. Anything can happen in the race, and that’s what makes it so fun. I think this team will bring a lot of competitiveness, no, scratch that, will DEFINITELY bring competition. Teams will look out for them.

JOSH Paolo & SOFIA White, Dating 3 Years from Portland, Oregon.
Sofia: Josh and I met in high school.
Josh: We weren’t that close. We weren’t even friends.
Sofia: And I kept teasing him. :lol:
Josh: Yeah...
Sofia: Because of his wide nose. :funny: That still cracks me up when I think about it!
Josh: But I don’t care anymore.
Sofia: And then we became friends halfway through. It just happens like, suddenly.
Josh: Yeah. The most I can remember was that I asked you a question for homework, and you teased me...
Sofia: And then you talk back to me. And we just keep blasting at each other, actually having fun.
Josh: Yeah. It was kind of irritating at first. But then we both realized it was for laughs.
Sofia: We became best friends ever since. I had no best friends until he came around.
Josh: I had friends, but Sofia was the first female friend for me since elementary. And then after a year or two, we bonded closer.
Sofia: And I fell in love. :flirt: I tried asking him out. Took me like only two tries.
Josh: Yeah. Because I seem to have a crush on her as well. We get along really well.
Sofia: I love this man. We’ve been dating for three years now, nothing will break us apart. We just need each other’s commitment.

Josh: I’m Josh Paolo, 24 years old. Three words to describe me would be sweet, cool, and patient.
Sofia: Yup, I agree. ;D He’s very well behaved. Well, sometimes. Other times, he can get down and dirty. :lol: But in general, he’s a nice person. Why the heck is your job a bartender, anyway? I forgot your reason. (:
Josh: That’s just temporary. If we win the race, and the money, then I will think of getting a better job, in business.
Sofia: Cute.

Sofia: I am Sofia White, 21 years old. The reason why we have kind of an age difference was because Josh started school late.
Josh: Ahem...You started school early.
Sofia: Same thing. :lol: I am still studying at university. My three adjectives would be...compromising, simple, and optimistic.
Josh: Sounds like her!
Sofia: :kuss: I was the one who suggested we should go on The Amazing Race because I would just love the experience. I am so grateful for the opportunity.
Josh: Our major concerns would be the geography and navigating. We’re not very good at driving.
Sofia: Definitely.
Josh: But we will try our best.
Sofia: We’re good at that. :lol:
RSF: To me, it is hard to read this team, and that is a really good thing, since they can be unpredictable. We picked them because of that reason and we feel like they can pull off a win or two and have what it takes to make the competition more competitive than it already is.

MARY-JEAN Jaye & JOSEPHINE Morham, Can-Can Dancers from Carson City, Nevada.
Josephine: We bring a lot to the race than you could have think. We have traveled around the world to provide some entertainment. Along the way, we learned a lot about each of the places we went.
Mary-Jean: We are the most interested in such things among the rest of our troupe.
Josephine: Another advantage is that we are very creative. We usually give suggestions on our next trick, it helps us think outside the box.
Mary-Jean: We are also tough. After all, we danced like for more than an hour each time, and we did this more than three times a day! We’re very fit.
Josephine: Yes, and we’re still gonna be the underdogs!

Mary-Jean: I’m Mary-Jean Jaye and I am 22. I entertain for a living, and I love every minute of my time there. There are no worries. But I would love to take a little rest. Three words to describe me would be...appealing, creative, and athletic. I do intense exercises, you know.
Josephine: She is really tough. When she dances, her legs are rough and direct! It’s really good! Like she’s fighting against a master kung fu fighter!
Mary-Jean: Really? That’s too much. :flirt:
Josephine: I feel lucky to have her as my partner.

Josephine: I am Josephine Morham, 20. Three words to describe me are competitive, attractive, and friendly.
Mary-Jean: Competitive?
Josephine: Yeah! I’m more than just a pretty face, you know.
Mary-Jean: Okay then.
Josephine: Our biggest worries and disadvantages would definitely have to be the tough guys, if there are any.
Mary-Jean: We are used to stress, so I think we can handle pretty much everything else.
RSF: This team seem to be one of the conniving teams, and the team many people will underestimate. Because their features and occupations and ages and gender don’t usually fit in the brawny category, teams won’t think of them as threats. We will see how much facetime they will get in the race and how will teams think about them with their first impressions.

Phil: There we have it, the 12 teams that will be racing around the world for one million dollars. Who will win and be crowned the second ‘The Amazing Racer’? These questions will be revealed as we begin RealShowFan’s The Amazing Race 2...

*End of Racers Revealed*

[realshowfan]

Episode 1 - I'm Already Regretting This!

Phil: 8am. As the sun continues to rise, the streets of Los Angeles begin to be filled up with people of different kinds. Tourists, businessmen, celebrities, old, young, families, friends. This bustling city of entertainment holds the Starting Line for an entertainment fan-fic. This is RealShowFan’s The Amazing Race 2. I am on the Starting Line of the race. The RMS Queen Mary. Suitable candidate because of its representation as a starting journey around the world. It is here where 12 new teams of two will race around the world.



The twelve teams are being transported by small jet boats to the Starting Line. The twelve teams are:


Kentaro & Yamazaki, Japanese American Dads from Boise City, Idaho
Yamazaki: We are so happy to be on the race.
Kentaro: We will make Lili & Lee proud.


Cecilia & Jean, Poker Players from Las Vegas, Nevada
Cecilia: We will definitely use all the advantages we have to propel us to win.
Jean: We have a lot to bring for the game.


Ronell & Renee, Divorced 3 Years from Wichita, Kansas
Renee: This is more like a test for Ronell.
Ronell: You know you can’t live without me! I am totally gonna win!


Tarry & Benny, Fashion Designers from San Francisco, California
Tarry: Benny has Aspergers Syndrome and that will be a hindrance for him I think.
Benny: Yeah. It will take after the race for me to get used to the race routine.


Glorietta & Arnold, Newlyweds from Denton, Texas
Glorietta: I love this man so much.
Arnold: We are short, but we are very powerful.


Monica & Sheena, Disabled Sisters from Waterloo, Iowa
Sheena: This race will definitely be a test of strength for us. I am very scared of the results.
Monica: We wanted to prove to one another and to the people what we’re made of.


Adolph & Juanita, Dating Long Distance from Milwaukee, Michigan
Adolph: I am so excited. Praying we’ll do well.
Juanita: Yup. May the power of nature be with us...


Stephen & J.T., Best Friends from New York City, New York
J.T.: I moved to New York just to work with him!!
Stephen: Yeah. He really cares me that much!


Aida & Alphonse, Daughter / Father from Billings, Montana
Aida: I’m so happy to race a race with my papa.
Alphonse: I’m happy too. Aida’s a great and independent woman.


Justin & Cathy, Married Soldiers from Seattle, Washington
Justin: We bring too much to this race, so we are really determined to win.
Cathy: This’ll be a very fun break-mission for us.


Josh & Sofia, Dating 3 Years from Portland, Oregon
Sofia: Josh is a great guy. Everybody he casually talks to loves him, which is a lot of people.
Josh: I am honoured to be racing with my girl Sofia.


Mary-Jean & Josephine, Can-Can Dancers from Carson City, Nevada
Mary-Jean: We won’t be a force to be reckoned with, but we like that.
Josephine: We will wow the audience, I promise you all.

Phil: Can these teams stand up to the stress and each other while in a race around the world for 1 million dollars? Which team will have the right combination of mental strength, physical power, strategic minds and teamwork co-operation to win the prize? These are the questions ready to be answered as we begin RealShowFan’s the Amazing Race 2.

The teams are shown standing before Phil at the Starting Line, RMS Queen Mary.

Phil: Welcome everybody. In just a few minutes you’ll depart on a race around the world. The race consists of twelve legs, and during each leg there are tasks which you must complete in order to go on. At the end of each leg there is a Pitstop. Nine of these Pitstops are elimination points, you’ll have to check-in there quickly because if you’re last, you will be eliminated.

Everyone nodded with agreement.

Phil: Your first clue is waiting along with the stuff you bring. When I give you the word, you can go on to find the exit of the ship, then run up to your bags on the parking lot, open up your first clue, and head out to one of the marked cars. What you do after that is completely up to you. The first team to cross the finish line at the end of twelve legs will win the one million dollar prize. Is everybody ready?

All: YES!! :yess:

Phil: Alright! The world is waiting for you...good luck...travel safe...

Teams are given one last look at the Starting Line.

Phil: ...GO!

Everyone ran towards the exit door and started finding the exit.
Sofia (whispering): I know where it is.
Juanita: Let’s follow them. She seems sure.
Adolph: I’m right behind you.
Renee: What the hell are we doing?
Ronell: I don’t know!
Ronell (conf.): It was chaos. We were all running around aimlessly.
Everyone chose their ways.

Outside:
Josh: Wow! Good job girl!
Sofia: Yeah!
Adolph: :jumpy:
Tarry: C’mon, Benny! This is it!
Benny: That’s great, then!
Josh: Do the honors.
Sofia: Fly to Flores, Guatemala!
Juanita: You must depart at the Los Angeles International Airport and board the 9:45am United Airlines flight to Guatemala City, your ticket is in the clue. Right here.
Tarry: Once at La Aurora in Guatemala City, find the marked airline counter...
Sofia: And choose one out of two of the airlines’ flights, one departing at 12:30pm, the other at 1:25pm.
Juanita: There will be seven teams on the first flight and five on the other.
Tarry: Once at Flores, make your way to Lake Peten Itza and find your next clue. You have $99 for this leg of the race!
Sofia: I think we’re the first ones here!
Josh: That is awesome!
Juanita: How exciting!
Benny: This’ll be a change...
Phil: Teams must fly to their first destination: Flores, Guatemala.

They have been given United Airlines tickets to Guatemala City and from there they must find the Taca International Air counter and get either one of two tickets to Flores. Once teams arrive at Flores, they must make their way around the edge of the city, which is surrounded by the Lake Peten Itza itself, to find their next clue.


The three teams chose a car and headed to the airport.
Sofia: It’s sad we lost our lead though. Since there’s one flight to Guatemala City.
Josh: Oh.

RMS Queen Mary:
Cecilia: Jean, let’s try here.
Jean: Okay.
Mary-Jean: This is just chaotic.
Mary-Jean (conf.): No one else was in the ship so we couldn’t get help. And I think some important signs were removed...
Monica: Sheena...Where are we? I can tell we’re at some corridor.
Sheena: Yeah. I’m just trying to find out the exit.
Cathy: This is just like scouting...
Justin: Let’s speed up.
Yamazaki: This is very confusing.
Kentaro: Just where is the exit?
Aida: Come on, papa!
Alphonse: Yes, yes!
Aida: Mamma mia! This is mayhem!
J.T.: C’mon, Stevo!
Stephen: Just stay calm with everything! We know we should constantly go down.
Glorietta: I am so lost, honey.
Arnold: I know, honey.

Outside:
Cecilia: :jumpy: We’re here!
Jean: Hallelujah!
Sheena: Oh my god I found it!
Monica: Good job, Sheena!
Aida: Papa! PAPA! Hurry!
Alphonse: Yes, I know!
Cecilia: Fly to Flores, Guatemala!
Sheena: Once at La Aurora in Guatemala City, find the marked airline counter...
Aida: There will be seven teams on the first flight and five on the other.
Cecilia: Once at Flores, make your way to Lake Peten Itza and find your next clue. You have $99 for this leg of the race!
Justin & Cathy arrived.
Justin: They’re quick.
Cathy: Let’s go, honey!
A few minutes later.
Arnold: Honey here it is!
Glorietta: Great! Well done!
Kentaro: Ah! It’s the exit!
Yamazaki: I’ve never been more glad!
Stephen: Here it is, J.T.!
J.T.: Dangit. We are slow!
The three teams headed to the airport.

RMS Queen Mary:
Josephine: This is so maddening...
Ronell: Why is this the Starting Line?? Dammit!!!
Mary-Jean: Oh god...
Renee: This is so complicated!
Renee (conf.): It was really frustrating. We haven’t seen any teams since then.
Josephine: Oh, guys! You have no idea how happy I am to see you.
Renee: We are definitely last.
Mary-Jean: Let’s look for the exit together.
Mary-Jean (conf.): We worked with Ronell & Renee and it went very well.

Outside:
Ronell: Yah! Nice job!
Josephine: Finally! Fresh air!
The two final teams drove to the airport.

Los Angeles International Airport:
Everyone easily boarded the United Airlines flight to Guatemala City.
Phil: All teams are now on the same flight to La Aurora in Guatemala City.

La Aurora Airport:
Sheena: I’m holding you, Monica.
Aida: Let’s search fast!
J.T.: Stevo! Let’s start searching!
Stephen: Let’s find Delta Airlines!
Ronell: Come on, baby!
Renee: I am not your baby anymore!!! For three years I am not, Ronell!

Taca International Air:
Aida: I see it.
Alphonse: Good job, Aida!
Aida: Excuse me, we would like two tickets of a 12:30pm flight to Flores?
Counter worker: Sure...Here you go.
Sofia: Oh, there it is!
Adolph: Oh so it is Taca International Air?
Counter worker: Here are your tickets.
Josh: Teams two and three! High five!
Adolph: Yeaahhh!!
Renee: Ronell! Here!
Ronell: Good! Please tell us you have 12:30pm flight tickets to Flores?
Coutner worker: Fortunately for you, yes I do! ;D
Ronell: Alright!!
Renee: That is awesome!
Tarry: Did we miss it?
Renee: We don’t know.
Tarry: Can we have 12:30pm tickets?
Counter worker: Fifth team in!
Benny: Woot!
Tarry: :yess: Two tickets for this flight!
All teams continued searching. Suddenly...
Glorietta: Spotted! Let’s go!
Arnold: Taca?
Sheena: Monica, run faster! The shorties might get the final seats!
Monica: Okay!!
The four raced.
Sheena: Two 12:30pm tickets to Flores?
Counter worker: Yup!
Sheena: Yay!!
Glorietta: Dammit. I hope that wasn’t the last of it.
Counter worker: No...These are the last of it!! Congratulations!
Arnold: Phew! Yay!
Glorietta: :wohoo:
Glorietta (conf.): We were so relieved to get the last tickets that arrives Flores earlier! :hearts:
A few minutes later.
Cathy: Taca International Air.
Justin: That makes sense.
Kentaro: Yamazaki, it’s here.
Yamazaki: Great eye.
Cathy: Two tickets to Flores? The 12:30pm ones?
Counter worker: No. Those are gone. You are gonna have to take the 1:25pm flight.
Justin: DANGIT!!!
Kentaro: Oh no...
Yamazaki: What?
Counter worker: I cannot change them. These are strict.
Cathy: Aww...
The two teams got their tickets. Soon, the three final teams also received the bad news. In order were Stephen & J.T., Mary-Jean & Josephine, and Cecilia & Jean.
Stephen: We incredibly sucked today.
J.T.: Yeah so hopefully we can do better in Guatemala.
Josephine: Such a horrible day.
Mary-Jean: Yeah. Sucks so much...
Cecilia: Being last to get the tickets is so embarrassing. :groan:
Jean: Yah! Please don’t let us be the next Maria & Tiffany!
Phil: All teams are now on one of two flights to Flores, Guatemala. The earlier flight, departing at 12:30pm and scheduled for arriving at 1:40pm, carries Aida & Alphonse, Josh & Sofia, Adolph & Juanita, Ronell & Renee, Tarry & Benny, Monica & Sheena, and Glorietta & Arnold. The second flight, departing at 1:25pm, scheduled for arriving at 2:45pm, carries Justin & Cathy, Kentaro & Yamazaki, Stephen & J.T., Mary-Jean & Josephine, and Cecilia & Jean.

Mundo Maya International Airport:
The first plane arrived at exactly 1:37pm.
Adolph: Peten Itza? Does anyone know how to get to Peten Itza?
Josh: Lake Peten Itza??
Arnold: Can anyone take me to Lake Peten Itza?
Alphonse: Let’s go, darling.
Aida: It’s a good thing we have a map.
Ronell: Let’s follow them! They might know the way!
Renee: Are you kidding me?? They have a map, they don’t!
Ronell: I think they do!
Renee: I don’t. Are you sure?
Ronell: Yes!
Renee: Don’t pull me! You’re hurting my skin! I’m going with them whether you like it or not!
Ronell: You terribly have a bad instinct.
Benny: This is stupid. I feel like we’re not ready for this.
Tarry: Me too but it’s too late now! Lake Peten Itza!
Sheena: Lake Peten Itza? Anyone?
Monica: Can anyone take us to Lake Peten Itza!!? Don’t let go of me, Sheena!
Sheena: I’m not! Don’t worry! I won’t let anyone harm you! Let’s take an auto-rickshaw. Here’s one. Let’s go! Lake Peten Itza please!
Driver: Which?
Sheena: The place where normally people go!
Driver: Okay!
Juanita: Let’s take this. He knows where it is.
Driver: ;D It is everywhere!
Adolph: Okay. We’re taking an auto-rickshaw.
Tarry: Let’s keep asking for directions. Flores doesn’t look that big.
Benny: Okay. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Sofia: We’re walking because we have a map.
Josh: We know the lake is surrounding the city. The question is which part of the lake.

Lake Peten Itza:
Monica & Sheena and Adolph & Juanita arrived at the edge first, in different areas. One of them found the clue first.
Juanita: Florence is a beautiful city! Oh look at the houses!
Adolph: It’s Flores!
Juanita: I wonder why it’s on a lake though.
Sheena: Careful, Monica! We’re near to the lake!
Monica: Oh, that is really bad...I can partially see blue so I guess it’s on our right?
Sheena: Yeah.
Monica (conf.): I am used to my life being almost blind. But it’s still slowing me down in everything.
Sheena: Here it is!
Monica: Good job, Sheena! :yess:
Sheena: Hop in the boat, which will take you to ARCAS. Once arrived, a man at the dock will hand you your next clue. The boat leaves every fourty-five minutes.
Phil: Teams must now get in the boat to ARCAS. It is here where teams will find their next clue.


Sheena: Careful, sis.
Monica: We’re on the boat?
Sheena: Yes. What time does this leave?
Boatsman: Almost! 1:55pm!
Sheena: Not very long to go. :yess:
Adolph & Juanita found the clue.
Juanita: Oh! Monica & Sheena are here first!
Sheena: We don’t know if we’re really first though.
Sheena (conf.): We were really wondering if we were first to find the clue. We didn’t think so.
Boatsman: Six minutes left!
Four minutes later, two more teams arrived.
Alphonse: Hop in a boat.
Aida: There!
Alphonse: We’re going to ARCAS.
Ronell: See! I was right!!
Renee: Stop boasting about it, then...
Everyone waited for two more minutes until the boat finally left.
Sheena: We are hoping this is the first boat with teams going to ARCAS. We have us, Adolph & Juanita, Aida & Alphonse, and Ronell & Renee. We’re going good I think.
Aida: Papa, look at the view! It’s so pretty!
Alphonse: :colors
Ronell: Ahh...Beautiful...*tries to put his arms over Renee*
Renee (scooting away): Yeah.

Lake Peten Itza:
Glorietta: It’s here.
Arnold: Hop in a boat...
Glorietta: No one else is here.
Arnold: Hopefully we’re the first, then.
Boatsman: This boat departs 2:40pm!
Arnold: 2:40??? What time does the second plane arrive?
Glorietta: 2:45pm I think. So they will not make it and will have to wait another fourty-five minutes.
Arnold: Now, I am getting this feeling some other teams already arrived at ARCAS. :groan:
They waited and spent the rest of the time looking at the view, with the boatsman occassionally staring at them.

ARCAS:
The first boat arrived and the four teams received their clue from a man.
Alphonse: Detour!!
Renee: Animal Attraction!
Adolph: Or Tourist Oration!
Phil: A Detour is a task, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams have to choose a task to help the organization ARCAS promote animal awareness. Their choice: Animal Attraction or Tourist Oration.
Phil: In Animal Attraction, teams must enter the place of the macaws and put seeds on their hands and wait until at least five macaws ate at least a seed. Once done, they’ll receive their next clue. Although this task appears simple, teams may need to be patient and calm to be able to attract the birds.

Phil: In Tourist Oration, teams must say a speech about ARCAS to the visitors. They must make the speech themselves without help. Only when at least ten people sign up on the team’s sheet will they receive their next clue. And a person cannot sign up for more than one team. This task is rather difficult, but teams with good social skills and tourism smarts may be able to orate quickly enough to get ahead.


Aida: Tourist Oration! We can do that better!
Alphonse: I agree totally!
Ronell: Tourist Oration!
Renee: You’re following them again?? You have a crush on Aida, I know it!
Ronell: Hey! No, I am not! I just think we’re better at talking!
Renee: Fine then! I will do the scripts, you do the talking! Since you are so outspoken!
Ronell: (:
Adolph: We will do Animal Attraction.
Juanita: Yep. We have a lot of unique animals in the Philippines like the tarsier.
Sheena: Animal Attraction or Tourist Oration?
Monica: Animal Attraction. Tourist Oration seems to have a lot of work to be done.
Sheena: Yeah. We are doing Animal Attraction!

Lake Peten Itza:
Tarry: This is it.
Benny: We have to hop in that boat.
Arnold: Welcome in, guys.
Tarry: Are we the first ones?
Glorietta: Unfortunately, no.
Arnold: The boat leaves at 2:40pm.
Benny: That sucks...

Animal Attraction:
Adolph: Both of us need to get in the area with seeds on our hands.
Juanita: I’m on it.
Adolph: Come on, birdie, birdie, birdie...
Sheena: There are the seeds, Monica...Go. I’ll also go.
Monica: Where?
Sheena: The good thing is that you don’t need to go anywhere. Stay on your spot! They’ll peck your palms!
Monica: That doesn’t sound reassuring enough.

Tourist Oration:
Alphonse: This is the information of ARCAS, Aida.
Aida: Nice. Let’s work on it, then! I am so excited!!
Renee: This’ll be fun, I think.
Ronell: You can do this, Renee!

Animal Attraction:
Juanita: Oh! I got one! (1/5)
Adolph: Good job, darling!!
Sheena: One’s coming...Yeeeeeesssssss! Yeeessss! I got one! (1/5)
Monica: How am I doing?
Sheena: Um...Oh you got one also!
Monica: Yay! (2/5)
Adolph: Dang.
Juanita: Stay calm, Adolph! I think birds can smell fear and odor!
Adolph: Odor?? :funny:
Adolph got distracted.

Lake Peten Itza:
Josh: Here we are.
Sofia: Dammit. We took such a long time...
Glorietta: Hello!
Josh: Hello guys.
Sofia: Two teams only??
Arnold: We think the others already left.
Josh: No way! :ascared
They started waiting.

Tourist Oration:
Aida: I am done! Let’s go!
Renee: There you go!
Aida: Oh my god! We finished at the same time! :funny:
Renee: What a coincidence.
Aida: Let’s go papa!
Alphonse: This looks great!
Renee: I should go with you!
Ronell: No! You go do the sign up sheets!
Renee: Ugh!
Aida & Alphonse and Ronell said their speech while Renee is trying to get people to sign her team’s sign up sheet.
Renee (conf.): Ronell actually speaks well. He sounds so friendly and sociable up there.
Alphonse (conf.): I think we did well in the speech but we didn’t think of getting one of us to let them sign our sign up sheet earlier.
Aida (conf.): It was only when I saw Renee, which I think she’s been there for a while, that I left the place and started advertising for signatures.
Renee: Sign here, please!
Tourist: Sure. Nice tour guide! :tup:
Renee: Thanks. That’s the sixth one. (6/10)
Aida: They are so smart for thinking of that...

Lake Peten Itza:
The second boat left for ARCAS.
Tarry: Finally!
Glorietta: We’re leaving at last!
Sofia: How long have you guys waited?
Glorietta: At least fourty minutes!!!

ARCAS:
The three teams received their clues.
Benny: Detour! Animal Attraction or Tourist Oration!
Sofia: Let’s do Tourist Oration! That sounds fun!
Benny: We are doing Animal Attraction. I won’t be able to handle Tourist Oration AT ALL!
Tarry: That is a very good point.
Glorietta: Let’s do Animal Attraction.
Arnold: I agree. We will be invisible under the crowd!

Mundo Maya International Airport:
The second flight arrived.
Cecilia: Jean! She‘s seen the clue box!
Jean: Really? What are you waiting for? Let’s go!
Cecilia: I was waiting for you!
Yamazaki: I think they know where to go. See, they’re following that old woman.
Kentaro: Let’s check it out.
Cecilia: Those stupid guys are following us...
Jean: Ugh. Low...
Yamazaki (conf.): We are very lazy and want to take short cuts a lot. Nothing in the rule book that says we can’t follow people. :lol:
Cathy: Should we take a transport?
Justin: No, let’s run. It’s easier to ask for directions.
J.T.: Let’s go, Stephen! Lake Peten Itza?
Stephen: Lake Peten Itza please!
Josephine: Can anyone take us to Lake Peten Itza?
Driver: I take you there?
Josephine: Yeah! Fast please!!

Animal Attraction:
One team completes the Detour.
Sheena: MONICA! You got the last one! :hearts:
Monica: I did? Cool!
Woman: Here is your next clue!
Sheena: Yay! Great hands, sis!
Monica: :flirt:
Sheena (conf.): The Macaw whisperer. :lol:
Monica (conf.): I didn’t know I had it in me. But being disabled like this has put me into a calm position. ;D
Adolph: They are done...
Just then, Glorietta & Arnold and Tarry & Benny entered the macaw area with seeds on their hands.
Sheena: Go back by boat and take an intercity bus to Tikal. Once there, find the grand Tikal National Park for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now leave Flores and take a bus to Tikal.

Phil: Once at Tikal, they must find Tikal National Park, famous for its temples, and find their next clue.


Sheena: I know the way back. Come on.

Tourist Oration:
Renee: RONELL! I’m done!
Ronell: :yess: Great job! Well, see ya folks! Have a great day!
Man: Here is your next clue! Good job!
Renee: Thanks. Wow, Ronell, I didn’t know you were that good.
Ronell: Read!
Renee: Hm...Tikal. Let’s go back to the boat.
Aida: Dang...I just need two. Sign please...
Josh & Sofia arrived.
Aida: Oh no.
Sofia: I will write the scripts and say the speech, while you work on your social skills to get the signatures.
Josh: Fine with me! :tup:

Boat:
Sheena: What time does this boat depart?
Boatsman: The boat leaves every fifteen minutes. So at 2:55.
Sheena: Ugh. Hopefully no one catches up. :lol:
Two minutes later, Ronell & Renee arrived.
Renee: How’s it going, guys? How was the Detour? How did you do it so quickly?
Sheena: She specializes in animal care. :funny:
Renee: Really? Wow. :lol:
Ronell: Hm.
Ronell (conf.): We are not here to make friends. No, we are here to recover our relationship.
Renee (conf.): That’s not my first mission. My first mission is to have fun. And with you, mission NOT accomplished!
Ronell (conf.): :groan: Do you want me to kill you?
Renee (conf.): I‘m surprised you haven’t yet. Maybe it’s the fact that you are on the media.
Ronell (conf.): (:

Animal Attraction:
Juanita: This is so hard...
Adolph: Come on, birdies! Why won’t you eat? Are you full?
Arnold: I got one, darling! Our second one! (2/5)
Glorietta: Come on, babies...Yay, Arnold, another one. (3/5)
Benny: How are they doing this?
Benny (conf.): Glorietta & Arnold were so good at the Detour, it’s unbelievable!
Tarry (conf.): It was really taunting.
Tarry: None of them likes our hands!!

Tourist Oration:
Alphonse kept talking while Sofia is at her beginning speech. Aida and Josh were still getting signatures. Aida with nine, Josh with one.
Josh: Signatures, please!
Tourist: Already signed for someone else.
Josh: Dammit!
Aida: I got the final signature! Father, let’s go!
Alphonse: Bye, people. Good luck!
Aida: We need to go to Tikal now.
Alphonse: Hurry! The boat could be leaving!

Animal Attraction:
Adolph & Juanita completed four seeds, Tarry & Benny zero, but Glorietta & Arnold completed.
Arnold: :yess: Let’s go!!
Glorietta: I am so happy to be out early! I love you!

Boat:
Boatsman: Let’s go.
Monica & Sheena and Ronell & Renee: :yess:
Aida: Papa, quick!
Alphonse: I know, Aida!
Glorietta: I find no use running!!
Arnold: Me either! Let’s just walk...
The boat left...without the two teams.
Aida: Dangit! So close!
Alphonse: Sorry, darling.
Aida: It’s okay, papa. When do we depart?
Boatsman: 3:10pm.
Aida: Okay.
Glorietta: What time?
Aida: 3:10pm.
Arnold: Cool. Not as far to go as the first time.

Lake Peten Itza:
Mary-Jean & Josephine arrived first and started searching.
Josephine: The place is big, it could be anywhere!
Mary-Jean: I could use some pain killers right now.
They searched for two minutes, until Cecilia & Jean and Kentaro & Yamazaki got their clues.
Jean: Hop in a bot...
Kentaro: Which will take you to ARCAS.
Cecilia: There is our guy. What time do we depart?
Boatsman: 3:20pm.
Cecilia: Dang. They have a lot of time to catch up.
Jean: Hey guys. How dare you follow us.
Kentaro: We were just suspicious. :duno:
Yamazaki (conf.): We are good at sneaking. ;D It worked to our advantage.
Jean (conf.): We can’t really blame them, since we are also good at sneaking. But we will have our revenge the next best opportunity we get. :snicker:
Just then, the boat carrying Monica & Sheena and Ronell & Renee arrived.
Sheena: Let’s go.
Renee: We need to find the intercity bus.
Both teams started hastily asking for directions, with lots of difficulty due to the language barrier.

Animal Attraction:
Adolph: I have it.
Juanita: Great job!
Adolph: Hm...Let’s go back to Flores!
Benny: How many got a seed, Tarry?
Tarry: None! You?
Benny: One.
Benny (conf.): It was a really hard task. But I didn’t want to change because I don’t want to do Tourist Oration.

Tourist Oration:
Sofia: I am finished, babe! Let’s go!
Josh: Good job!
Sofia: Head back to Flores.

Lake Peten Itza:
Justin & Cathy, Mary-Jean & Josephine, and Stephen & J.T. respectively found the next clue and the boat.
Stephen: This race is harder than I thought.
J.T.: I realize. It is really difficult and the game is going too fast.
Yamazaki: Looks like we are all here.
Yamazaki (conf.): I know Stephen & J.T. they were from Survivor: Tocantins. We cannot trust them. They are the most evil teams on that boat.
Stephen (conf.): We didn’t want to be perceived as the sneaky team. But it is hard. We will be sneaky, though. That’s our forte.
J.T. (conf.): Strangely, in this game, nobody seems to trust me.
Mary-Jean (conf.): J.T. is kind of cute.
Josephine (conf.): Yeah. He seems really trustworthy.
Mary-Jean (conf.): We definitely want to work with them.
Cecilia (conf.): We were told Stephen & J.T. won runner-up and winner in a recent Survivor season. If it is true, they must be really sneaky. We like that. :snicker:
Jean (conf.): We definitely want to work with them.

Bus Station:
The two teams successfully got tickets to Tikal departing at 4pm.
Renee: A bus leaves every hour. Our lead is probably gone.
Ronell: We did so well today.
Renee: Good job, Ron.
Renee (conf.): Monica & Sheena were very surprising. I didn’t expect them to be one of the first ones.
Monica: We did well?
Sheena: VERY well.
Sheena (conf.): I am proud of Monica. She did very well today. So we got ahead.
Monica (conf.): I didn’t know I had it in me. :flirt:

ARCAS:
3:10pm. The boat departed for Flores.
Juanita: Yay!
Aida: High five, papa.
Alphonse: Great job.
Arnold: Good. No one else got on.
Sofia: This has just become more exciting.

Animal Attraction:
Tarry & Benny still only got two.
Benny: Unfortunately, I am also antisocial to birds! :ascared
Tarry: This is so frustrating...
Tarry (conf.): We didn’t know what were we doing wrong!
Benny (conf.): Yeah. I was thinking in my head how to get over and done with the task. But it lies on the macaws.

Lake Peten Itza:
The boat carrying Glorietta & Arnold, Aida & Alphonse, Adolph & Juanita, and Josh & Sofia arrived at Lake Peten Itza.
Cathy: Justin, there they are!
Stephen: Wow they’re fast!
Josh: They caught up.
Sofia: Drats.
Aida: We need to find the intercity bus.
The four teams worked together and boarded the bus departing at 4pm.
Ronell: Shoot!
Sheena: :groan:
Monica: What happened?
Sheena: Four teams arrived.
Monica: Aww...
Three minutes later, the boat to ARCAS departed.

Animal Attraction:
Tarry: Benny! Here’s another one! (3/5)
Benny: Good! Just two more! Ah! I got one! (4/5)
Tarry: They must be hungry all of a sudden!

ARCAS:
Mary-Jean: Detour!
J.T.: Animal Attraction!
Yamazaki: Or Tourist Oration!
Jean: Tourist Oration. We will definitely finish that quickly.
Cathy: Let’s do Tourist Oration, you have a loud voice.
Mary-Jean: We’re doing Animal Attraction.
J.T.: No doubt! Animal Attraction!
Kentaro: Animal Attraction seems to be easier.

Animal Attraction:
Tarry & Benny completed the Detour.
Tarry: We need to go back to Lake Peten Itza!

ARCAS:
Benny: Tarry! The rest of the teams arrived!
Tarry: Oh no...
Boatsman: We will leave at 3:45pm strictly.
Tarry: Huh? So late! :groan: We definitely are unlucky.

Animal Attraction:
Mary-Jean & Josephine, Stephen & J.T., and Kentaro & Yamazaki started the task. With two people quickly had a macaw fed.
Josephine: Ooh! They love my hands! :lol: (1/5)
J.T.: Yeah...Come on, baby! (1/5)
J.T. (conf.): Having worked as a cattle rancher once, I am used to animals and used to talking to them. So I know how to get them get near me, and that’s what I did to the macaws.

Tourist Oration:
Justin & Cathy and Cecilia & Jean arrived at the Detour site.
Cathy: Okay so...I’ll make the scripts, you present them, and I get the signatures.
Justin: Yes, ma’am!
Cecilia: I think we both should do the scripts. Who wants to present?
Jean: I can present. Besides, you’re prettier than me so people are more willing to sign for you.
Cecilia: Okay.
Both teams began working.

Animal Attraction:
J.T.: Another one, Stevo! (2/5)
Mary-Jean: Josephine! I got one! Oh my gosh I actually got one! (2/5)
Yamazaki: Come on birds! This is ridiculous.
Kentaro: Just stay calm! Look! I got one already! (1/5)
Stephen: J.T.! Woo! I got one! (3/5)
J.T.: You’re the man!!

Tourist Oration:
Jean, followed by Justin, began their speeches while their partners asked for signatures, Cecilia with three, Cathy with one.
Cathy: I need your signature please. ;D
Tourist: Oh, definitely!
Cathy: Thank you! (2/10)
Cecilia: Can anyone spare a signature for me?
A few tourists signed.
Cecilia: Thanks, guys!! :kuss: :kuss: (7/10)
Cecilia (conf.): The Detour was really fun! ;D
Cathy: Sign?
Tourist: Sorry, I arleady did.
Cathy: Oh...
Cathy (conf.): Cecilia was hogging away all the tourists so it was very difficult for me to get the signatures. Justin was impressive on the speech and I felt I am letting him down.
After a few more minutes, Cathy had five while Cecilia was on her last.
Tourist: Here you go. Your partner’s presentation is not as impressive as the guy’s though.
Cecilia: Sorry about that. But thanks for signing! Jean! We’re done!
Jean: You’ve been a great crowd everyone!
Cecilia: You need to talk more socially.
Jean: Whatev. :res:
They left for the boat back to Lake Peten Itza.

Animal Attraction:
One team had two macaws fed, another had four, another completed the task.
Stephen: We are going to Tikal. Oh my gosh, we are going to the Mayan Ruins!!
J.T.: You mean like the ones in Survivor: Guatemala?
Stephen: YES!! This is wonderful and exciting!!
They left for the boat.
A few minutes later, the two other teams completed the Detour.
Yamazaki: Tikal.
Mary-Jean: Sounds like a long journey ahead of us.

Tourist Oration:
Cathy: Justin! Last one!
Justin: Great job!
Cathy: I hope we are not last.
They left for the boat.

ARCAS:
Tarry: Nooo here comes two teams.
Cecilia: Ooh, high five, guys!
J.T.: Yes! :yess:
Cecilia (conf.): J.T. looks like a good person to hang out with. I didn’t watch Survivor: Tocantins but I can tell he is a very sociable and sneaky person. Just like us. :snicker:
J.T. (conf.): I don’t know what the women do for a living but they seem to be attracted to me.
Stephen (conf.): Yeah, yeah and hopefully we can use that to our advantage.
J.T. (conf.): They seem very trustworthy to me.
Stephen (conf.): I don’t think so, though.
Boatsman: Almost time!
Benny: Do it already...
Cathy: We’ve made it!
Justin: Phew!
Benny: Aw! :groan:
Stephen: That sucks...
Then, the final two teams arrived.
Yamazaki: Phew! That was a close one!
Josephine (gasping): I’m so tired...
Boatsman: Just in time, guys!
The boat left.

Lake Peten Itza:
The boat arrived and everyone spead out to find the intercity bus.

Intercity Bus:
Sofia: Eight minutes left. No other team arrived...
Seven minutes...Six minutes...Five minutes...
All in the bus: NO!!!! :groan:
Respectively, arrived Stephen & J.T., Justin & Cathy, Cecilia & Jean, Tarry & Benny, Mary-Jean & Josephine, and Kentaro & Yamazaki.
Aida: Oh...my...god...
Ronell: That is bull!!! :groan:
Monica: How many of them came?
Sheena: We’re all together now.
Monica: Huh?
Cecilia: Hey, guys.
Cecilia (conf.): It was very nice to see all of us together again after being separated for so long. :funny: Lucky us!
Glorietta: Oh gosh...
Glorietta (conf.): All our hard work for nothing!
At 4pm, the bus departed.
Stephen: We’re on our way to Tikal now. This is amazing.

Tikal National Park:
The bus arrived at Tikal National Park. Order of finding the clues were...Ronell & Renee, Justin & Cathy, Stephen & J.T., Glorietta & Arnold, Monica & Sheena, Aida & Alphonse, Josh & Sofia, Adolph & Juanita, Cecilia & Jean, Mary-Jean & Josephine, Tarry & Benny, and Kentaro & Yamazaki.
Renee: Roadblock!
Cathy: Who rummages the place of tongues?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member must perform. In this Roadblock, that team member must run around Tikal National Park and search around the Mayan temples for a flag from each. In total, a person must retrieve eight different colored flags, one from each temple. Once retrieved all eight, they must go to the center in the Great Plaza and find the woman wearing a traje and exchange the flags with their next clue.


Ronell: I’ll do it.
Renee: Are you sure? Okay then.
Cathy: I’ll do it...Oh, I get to run around!
J.T.: Stevo will do it.
Stephen: Yes!! :yess: Hm...Oh no, I have to run around THOSE TEMPLES??? That is sick!
Glorietta: Do you want to do it?
Arnold: I’ll do it.
Sheena: Hm...
Monica: Doesn’t say anything about using your eyes, but tongues.
Sheena: Yeah. Do you want to do it?
Monica: I have to, Sheena.
Sheena: Okay...OH NO!! You have to climb up and down the Mayan temples for flags!! :groan:
Monica: Oh no! :ascared
Monica (conf.): I was nervous to do the Roadblock because I needed to run around. I couldn’t ask Sheena for help so I was really terrified.
Aida: I’m doing it. I talk a lot. :funny:
Sofia: I think you should do it.
Josh: Okay. I rummage the place of tongues.
Juanita: Adolph’s doing it since he is the more sociable one.
Cecilia: Do you want to do it?
Jean: No thanks.
Cecilia: I think you should.
Jean: We’ll flip a coin. This is you, this is me...It’s ME!! :groan:
Cecilia: Good luck, Jean! ;D
Mary-Jean: I will do the Roadblock...This looks tiring already!
Mary-Jean (conf.): Seeing the tall temples. I wondered myself whether some people like Monica and Arnold could do the Roadblock!
Tarry: I will do the Roadblock!
Yamazaki: I’m doing it!
Monica: Can anyone help me guide my way to the temples?
Woman: I can. ;D
Monica: Oh my gosh thank you!!!
All the Roadblockers began searcing in their first temples.
Alphonse: A showdown in the first leg, that’s a first!
In the first temples teams visited, Ronell, Cathy, Arnold, Aida, Adolph, Mary-Jean, and Yamazaki found a flag.
Cathy: :yess:
Stephen: Dangit!
Jean: :groan:
Mary-Jean: :jumpy: Seven more!
In the second temples visited, Ronell, Stephen, Arnold, Monica, Josh, and Yamazaki found a flag.
Ronell: Woo ya!
Monica: Yay!
Woman:
Tarry: Nothing!
The searching continued. After a while, Ronell retrieved seven, Cathy four, Stephen four, Arnold all eight, Monica, with the help of an English-speaking local, seven, Aida five, Josh six, Adolph five, Jean six, Mary-Jean three, Tarry three, and Yamazaki five.
Arnold: I need to find the Great Plaza and find the woman with a traje. Great Plaza??
A man points to the place.
Arnold: Thanks!
Arnold (conf.): I was very surprised to finish first!!
Then, another team found all eight.
Ronell: Time for the woman!
Traje Woman: Congratulations! Here is your next clue!
Arnold: Thank you! Honey!!!
Glorietta: Awesome job, Arnold! That is SO amazing!!!
Glorietta (conf.): I am so proud of my husband. He finished the Roadblock first!!!
Glorietta: Now you rest there... Take a shuttle bus that’ll take you to Comalapa. Once at Comalapa, find the Oscar Peren Art Gallery for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now board a private shuttle bus that’ll take them to Comalapa.

Phil: Once four teams arrived at a shuttle bus, the bus will depart. At Comalapa, they must search for this Art Gallery for their next clue.


Arnold: We will all be bunched again. (:
Glorietta: This is so frustrating!! (:
Traje Woman: Here is your next clue!
Ronell: Haha! Let’s go!
Renee: Let’s go! Four teams per bus!

Bus Station:
Glorietta & Arnold and Ronell & Renee arrived and boarded the bus.

Tikal National Park:
Woman: Yes! Here!
Monica: All eight! Thank you so much! You are a godsend!!!
Monica retrieved her clue.
Sheena: I am so proud of you, Monica!!!
Two teams also retrieved their clue.
Justin: Let’s go! We are the fourth!
Cecilia: Crap! Let’s hurry!
Jean: Oh god! They’re soldiers!!

Bus Station:
Monica & Sheena boarded the first bus.
Justin: Where is the bus?
Cecilia: Jean, there’s the bus.
Jean: Let’s go.
They snuck off into the bus and the bus departed, carrying Glorietta & Arnold, Ronell & Renee, Monica & Sheena, and Cecilia & Jean. Justin & Cathy continued to search for the bus.
Justin: How can we be stupid?
Cathy: I don’t see any buses to Comalapa.

Tikal National Park:
Three more teams completed the Roadblock. In order were...Aida & Alphonse...Josh & Sofia, and Adolph & Juanita.
Alphonse: Good job, darling!
Aida: Thanks, papa!
Sofia: You did great, Josh! :kuss: Was it tiring?
Josh: Not that tiring. But tiring enough to be tiring.
Adolph: That...was...hard...

Bus Station:
Cathy: Justin! Justin! I found it!
Justin: Oh! It’s right there all along! Crap!
Cathy: No one’s here? This doesn’t make any sense.
Justin: I hope they got lost too. :groan:

Tikal National Park:
J.T.: You can do it, Stevo!!
J.T. (conf.): I should’ve done the Roadblock. We would have finished earlier.
Stephen (conf.): Yup. It was a bad choice.
One more team completed.
Traje Woman: Congratulations, here is your next clue! ;D
Stephen: Thank you. J.T.!!
J.T.: Nice one, man!
Stephen: We need to go to Comalapa by bus now.
J.T.: Oh man...

Bus Station:
The three teams boarded the second bus, and with Justin & Cathy, they left.
Juanita: We are now going to Comalapa. There, we need to find the Oscar Peren Art Gallery. I am guessing we either paint stuff for find stuff.
Sofia: Oh my god, I’m so proud of you, honey. :kuss:

Tikal National Park:
Traje Woman: Here are your clues.
Yamazaki: Thank you so much. Finally!
Kentaro: What a great way to get fit.
Tarry: Let’s go, Benny!
Benny: Great job!
Josephine: Where’s Mary-Jean?
Mary-Jean (resting): I am so tired...
Mary-Jean (conf.): It was completely hot in Guatemala. I was just sweating to death! And I was the last one there, so I felt very discouraged. :duno:

Bus Station:
Stephen: Here it is, J.T.
J.T.: Maybe we are in the last bus. :groan:
Stephen: Sorry, man.
J.T.: It’s okay. I’m not blaming you.
Stephen: You should’ve done the Roadblock. I feel so bad.
J.T.: But at least you get to visit the cool temples!
Stephen: Yes! :yess:

Tikal National Park:
Josephine: MARY-JEAN!!?
Mary-Jean: Ha?
Josephine: How many more do you need?
Mary-Jean: Last one! A blue one! I only have that temple left.
Josephine: Go for it! Good luck!
Josephine (conf.): I had to give her support! She was so tired there. And the temperature was scorching and never stopped going higher! At least it felt like that.

Bus Station:
Tarry & Benny and Kentaro & Yamazaki arrived at the bus station and boarded the bus.
Kentaro: Seems to me that we are bottom-feeders.
Kentaro (conf.): We need to work on our tasks. We are so slow. :groan:
It took a long while before Mary-Jean & Josephine arrived and the bus left.
Mary-Jean: I suck at the task so much. So sorry.
Josephine: It’s okay. We are bunched again anyway.

Comalapa:
The first bus arrived at Comalapa.
Sheena: Oscar Peren Art Gallery?
Jean: Cecilia, he can lead us there!
Man: Yeah!
Renee: Let’s run. I think that’s it!

Oscar Peren Art Gallery:
Ronell: I see our clue. Renee!! RENEE COME OVER HERE!!! Don’t waste your time on that crap!
Renee: It’s water! I’m tired! Geez, Ronell!
Ronell: Sorry then!
Cecilia: Here’s our clue.
Jean: Ronell & Renee already arrived.
Ronell: You must now duplicate this painting, which is done by Oscar Peren himself. If it looks satisfied, you’ll receive your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now replicate a part of a painting done by Oscar Peren. If the picture looks agreeable, they’ll be handed their next clue.


Renee: Let’s get in!
Ronell: I know!!
Cecilia: Do you have painting skills?
Jean: No.
Cecilia: Me too! :ascared
They entered the gallery and found the painting area and started painting.
Renee: So we need to paint this building?
Jean: This looks really difficult.
A few minutes later, Monica & Sheena and Glorietta & Arnold arrived.
Sheena: Aw...
Monica: Too bad it wasn’t a sculpture. :groan: I would be great at that! It looks like you will have to do it.
Sheena: I know...
The four teams were painting the church. A few minutes later, no one completed, but the second bus arrived. Order of finding the art gallery was...Josh & Sofia...Aida & Alphonse...Justin & Cathy...and Adolph & Juanita.
Sofia: Let’s start painting!
Aida: I love painting. This will be fun!
Alphonse: Yep!
Cathy: We should remain calm at this.
Justin: Yeah. We are good with accuracy. :tup:
Juanita: I don’t know much about painting.
Adolph: Let’s just do our best.
The eight teams were painting. Then, two teams went to check their paintings.
Judge: Hm...Yours is not good. Yours, however, I accept. Here is your next clue!
Jean: Shoot!
Cecilia: I think we have to start again?
Jean: Let’s try to modify our first ones.
Renee: Yes! :yess:
Ronell: Nice, babe!
Renee: Don’t call me babe!
Ronell: Walk to San Juan Church for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now find this church, which was the structure teams painted, where a priest will hand the teams their next clue.


Ronell & Renee left for the church. A few minutes later, two more teams wanted to check.
Judge: Not good enough, but for this painting, good job!
Adolph: Oh well, let’s try again.
Juanita: That was frustrating.
Glorietta: :hearts:
Arnold: We need to find this church now.
Sheena: Check this one please. Sorry, I tried to do it fast. Monica’s blind, you see.
Judge: Oh? You did this yourself?
Sheena: Yeah.
Judge: I feel so bad for her. :ascared Take care! Here is your next clue!
Sheena: Thanks!
Sheena (conf.): The judge has a very nice soul.
Monica (conf.): Yeah. God bless her.
Sheena: Find San Juan Church.
Monica: Thank you!
Aida: Let’s keep working, papa...
Juanita: Well that sucks...
Adolph: We have low painting skills...

San Juan Church:
Renee: Thank god we got it right!
Ronell: Outside the church there are cars. Take a car and then a driver will take you to the first Pitstop: Toliman Volcano. He will drop you off at some point and from there you have to continue up to the Pitstop.
Phil: Teams must make their way to the Pitstop: Toliman Volcano. This stratovolcano on the shores of Lake Atitlan in the Guatemala Highlands, along with two other volcanoes, is the first Pitstop of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.


Ronell: Hurry! The last team to check-in may be eliminated!
Renee: If we are first, my interest rate on you will increase by a mile!! ;D
Ronell: I see the cars!
Renee: Perfect!
Driver: Toliman Volcano, here we come!

Comalapa:
The final bus arrived and the four teams asked for directions to the art gallery and are all neck and neck.

Oscar Peren Art Gallery:
Judge: Nice! Here is your next clue! And here is your next clue too! Cogratulations!
Aida: Great job, papa!
Sofia: Woohoo!
Aida: Make your way to San Juan Church.
Cathy: Check ours, please!
Judge: Hm...Nah, not too good. Sorry, try again.
Justin: Darn it...

San Juan Church:
Arnold: Take a car and then a driver will take you to the first Pitstop: Toliman Volcano.
Glorietta: Those must be it.
They left for the Pitstop.

Oscar Peren Art Gallery:
J.T.: We don’t have painting skills but we’re willing to try!
Tarry: Creativity is our forte, but imitating one’s work isn’t really our thing...
Benny: Yeah. Besides, we’re good at fashion designing, not painting. :groan:
Kentaro: Oh, this’ll be good!
Yamazaki: Kentaro makes portraits in his spare-spare time.
Josephine: We are last.
Mary-Jean: Then paint fast!

San Juan Church:
Sheena: Car! He’s gonna take us to the Pitstop.
Monica: I am just so happy to be resting soon.

Oscar Peren Art Gallery:
Judge: No, still not good, and okay!!
Cathy: Dang!
Justin: I think it looked good enough!
Jean: Wohoo! :wohoo: We are not total suckers!
Cecilia: Walk to San Juan Church.
Juanita: What about ours, please?
Adolph: Here’s hoping...
Judge: Very nice. Here is your next clue!
Adolph & Juanita: :yess:

San Juan Church:
Aida & Alphonse and Josh & Sofia both grabbed their clues.
Aida: We need to find our car!
Sofia: There is our car!
Alphonse: Aida, here!
Aida: Great!

Oscar Peren Art Gallery:
Judges: Colors aren’t good, wrong colors, and just not good. Sorry guys, try again!
Benny: What a critic...
J.T.: Dammit!
Mary-Jean: This is just so intense!
Yamazaki: Do you think we should show it to the judge now?
Kentaro: Not yet.
Yamazaki: We are just losing time, though.
Kentaro: No one left yet.

San Juan Church:
Cecilia: Pitstop! Toliman Volcano!
Juanita: Let’s pick that car!
The two teams left simultaneously, with Adolph & Juanita ahead.

Oscar Peren Art Gallery:
Justin: Now?
Judge: Hm...Yeah. Here is your next clue. ;D
Justin: Ugh! Finally!
Cathy: Thank goodness!
Justin: Walk to San Juan Church.
Cathy: What long days...

San Juan Church:
Cathy: There we go.
Justin: Where’s our clue?
Cathy: We have to go to the priest. Hey, this is the place we just painted!!
Justin: Really? Oh yeah! Cool!
Cathy: Thank you...Pitstop! Toliman Volcano!
Justin: Grab a car, darling.
Cathy: This one looks noble.
Justin: Good pick.
Cathy: Finally, Pitstop.
Cathy (conf.): I think we sucked in the first leg...
Justin (conf.): Yup. We expected to do a lot better...

Oscar Peren Art Gallery:
Judge: Very nice!! Here is your next clue!
Kentaro: :yess:
Yamazaki: San Juan Church.
Tarry: Please say yes...
Judge: Hm...I’m sorry, no.
Tarry: Darn!
Benny: This is pure annoyance...
A few minutes later...
Judge: Perfect! Here’s your clue! ;D
J.T.: Thank you!! :hugs:
Stephen: Well, finally!
J.T.: Yeah, finally!!
Stephen: San Juan Church...

San Juan Church:
Yamazaki: I see the priest.
Kentaro: Thank you so much...We have to get a car which will take us to the Pitstop.
Yamazaki: I hope it is not in the volcano!
Kentaro: Yeah. The weather is already too hot!
A few minutes later...
J.T.: Let’s go, Stephen!
Stephen: Pitstop! Finally! What a sucky performance this leg!
J.T.: You said it! I’m already regretting this!
Stephen: Me too!!!

Oscar Peren Art Gallery:
It is down to the last two teams.
Benny: This better be good.
Judge: Nah, you need to work on the tip. I suggest you start again, since it is all muddled.
Tarry: Dang.
Josephine: Check ours please...
Judge: I accept! Good job! Here is your next clue!
Mary-Jean: :yess: Sorry boys!
Tarry: :groan:
Benny: That was so not fair...
Long minutes later...
Tarry: Finally...
Benny: San Juan Church...
Tarry: That was so disheartening.
Benny: This was a really bad choice.

San Juan Church:
Josephine: Thank you, sir.
Mary-Jean: Oh my god, the Pitstop...
Minutes later...
Benny: Sir, can you go fast? We are in a rush!
Driver: I will try my best!!!
Tarry: Thank you. We really need that!!
All teams are on their way to the Pitstop!!

Toliman Volcano-Pitstop:
One team finally arrived at the drop off point. They started running up, following the directions.
Ronell: Will you love me if we win?
Renee: No, not necessarily. :res:
Ronell: You are so intractable.
Renee: I am sorry but I still cannot forgive the guy who cheated me and didn’t treat me well!
Ronell: What the hell? I am treating you with my very best ability!! (:
The two kept arguing until they reached the Pitstop.
Renee: Ugh...Hey Phil.
Ronell: Sorry for the bickering......
Phil: It’s okay, I understand the situation!

Greeter: C’oten! Welcome to Guatemala!
Renee: Thanks.
Phil: Ronell & Renee, you, are team number.....................1!
Ronell: Shut...the...hell...up!
Renee: Wow...That was...great! :wohoo:
Phil: Now as winners for this leg of the race, you have each won a trip for two from Travelocity...to Hawaii!
Ronell: HAWAII? YEAH, baby!! :yess:
Renee: Here goes Ronell... :res:
Ronell: Have some fun, would you??? Idiot, stop complaining!
Renee: I will once we get to Hawaii. In fact, I don’t feel like going there.
Phil: Do you want to know what you will do there?
Renee: Bring it on, Phil. ;D

Phil: You will have relaxing days at the beaches, a five-star stay in a hotel. Watch the people hula-dancing and fire-dancing, see the volcanoes there, and more!
Renee: I’ll give it a consideration. But I’ve already been there so I don’t know.
Phil: I am thinking your relationship is still not that strong.
Renee: For me it isn’t yet.
Ronell: Renee just isn’t gonna stop...I love her, I don’t know why she is torturing me!
Renee: Well you deserve it after torturing me! Should’ve seen the days, Phil.
Phil: Okay, take the argument over at someplace else.
Renee: Thanks, Phil!!
A few minutes later, another car pulled over and dropped off a team.
Arnold: Time to start running!
Glorietta: In the hot weather, it’s just like the old days!!
A few minutes later, another team was dropped off.
Sheena: Let’s go Monica!
Monica: Woah! Monica, slow down! It is really rough!
Greeter: C’oten! Welcome to Guatemala!
Arnold: Thank you so much!
Phil: Glorietta & Arnold, you, are team number............2!
Arnold: Two? Wow!
Glorietta: That’s great!
Arnold: That was unexpected!
A few minutes later...
Phil: Monica & Sheena, you, are team number......3!
Sheena: Woah! Three! That is really good!!
Monica: YAY!! :jumpy: All I wanted is to survive the first elimination, just to get in the top three!!
Phil: It seems that you two are doing REALLY well, to the point that I couldn’t believe it!
Monica: Maybe had I used more echolocation, we might have edged a win!
Minutes after, two teams were dropped off.
Josh: Run as quick as you can, Sofia!
Sofia: Yeah!
Aida: Man, they’re quick! Papa, you be quick!
Alphonse: I be quick, yes!
One team managed to quickly step on the mat.
Greeter: C’oten!
Josh: Thanks.
Sofia: WHEW! That was so tiring...
Phil: Josh & Sofia, you, are team number......4!
Sofia: Four, yay! Now let’s get out of this hot place...
Long minutes after, Aida & Alphonse arrived.
Aida: Are you okay, papa?
Alphonse (panting): Yeah...
Phil: Aida & Alphonse, you, are team number.........5!
Alphonse: Not bad!
Aida: Front half! ;D
Two teams were shown being dropped off and running.
Jean: If we are racing for last, let’s run!
Cecilia: I can’t! Let’s just walk!
Jean: Okay...This is so tiring.
Cecilia: Oh wow, the view...
Jean: Don’t let me see it...It’s really scary.
Juanita: This is nothing!
Adolph: What really?
Juanita: Yeah! :lol:
One team stepped on the mat first.
Greeter: C’oten! Welcome to Guatemala!
Juanita: We’ve been around Guatemala, I feel!
Phil: Adolph & Juanita, you, are team number......6!
Adolph: Not bad.
Juanita: That’s just great, honey!
Two teams were shown dropping off back-to-back.
Cathy: This is easy, darling!
Justin: Like those days!!
Yamazaki: THIS MOUNTAIN? Holy crap!!
Kentaro: Gotta gut it, then... :groan:
Greeter: Welcome to Guatemala!
Jean (sweating): Yeah. What a scorching country...
Phil: Cecilia & Jean, you, are team number 7!
Cecilia (sweating): Lucky seven.
A few minutes later...
Phil: Justin & Cathy, you, are team number 8.
Justin: Aw...
Phil: What placement did you expect to take?
Cathy: At least sixth!
Justin: No, top three!
Cathy: That’s too expectant...
Phil: Do you think you can achieve that anytime soon?
Cathy: We are hoping so.
A few minutes later...
Phil: Kentaro & Yamazaki, you, are team number 9.
Yamazaki: That sucks, but we will take it.
Kentaro: At least we are not last. :yess:
A team was then shown dropping off and running. Then they stepped on the mat.
Greeter: C’oten! Welcome to Guatemala!
J.T.: Thank you!
Stephen: I love Tikal!
Phil: Stephen & J.T., you, are team number............10.
J.T.: Wow...
Stephen: Shocker...
Phil: What place were you expecting?
J.T.: Not that, definitely!!
Phil: Do you think there is room for improvement?
Stephen: There always is.
J.T. (conf.): I didn’t expect the race to be as hard as Survivor!
Stephen (conf.): We do now. :funny:
It is down to the final two teams. They are shown dropping off back-to-back!
Josephine: We gotta do this! I don’t want to go home!
Benny: This is just tiring...
Tarry: But we are racing for last! We cannot lose!
They were shown running, running, and running...Until finally four feet jumped on the mat.
Greeter: C’oten, welcome to Guatemala!
Josephine (panting): Thanks...yeah...
Phil: Mary-Jean & Josephine, you, are team number..............................11!
Josephine: Oh, wow, gosh, that was close, we’re still in it, right?
Phil: You are still in it! Congratulations!!
Mary-Jean: :hearts: Great job, sweetie!!
The last team arrived on the mat...
Greeter: C’oten. Welcome to Guatemala.
Tarry: Thanks.
Benny: I just hate it.
Phil: Tarry & Benny, you, are team number...12.
Tarry: Aww...
Benny (breathing): We are just gonna be good sports and not cry...
Tarry: Yeah...
Phil: I am very sorry to say that you are the last team to arrive...and eliminated from the race.
Tarry: It was fun. ;D
Benny: We’ve had our chance. We were glad to just experience the game. But for someone diseased as me, we would prefer to watch it on T.V.
Phil: Do you think this will change your life?
Benny: Probably.

Tarry (conf.): Even though we just visited one country, we were glad to at least get the chance to experience it.
Benny (conf.): I think my Aspergers Syndrome was the cause for our elimination.
Tarry (conf.): Not the case. We just weren’t good at the painting.
Benny (conf.): But at least we had our fun.

Episode 2 - A Walk To Hell.

Previously on RealShowFan's The Amazing Race 2...12 new teams started a new race around the world for one million dollars. Some teams found difficulty in finding the exit of the Starting Line.
Yamazaki: This is very confusing.
Aida: Mamma mia! This is mayhem!
Ronell: Why is this the Starting Line??
Teams flew down south to the country of Guatemala.
Sofia: Fly to Flores, Guatemala!
Juanita: How exciting!
Rushing to get the better flight to Flores.
Sofia: Oh, there it is!
Sheena: Monica, run faster! The shorties might get the final seats!
In Flores, Benny realized his disease wasn't only affected to humans.
Benny: Unfortunately, I am also antisocial to birds!
Tarry: This is so frustrating...
While Renee and Cecilia were stars in getting autographs.
Renee: Sign here, please!
Cecilia: Thanks, guys!!
Just to have all teams bunched once again, to Comalapa.
Aida: Oh...my...god...
Sheena: We’re all together now.
Teams then competed in a scorching and extremely tiring Roadblock.
Monica (conf.): I was nervous to do the Roadblock because I needed to run around. I couldn’t ask Sheena for help so I was really terrified.
Kentaro: What a great way to get fit.
Mary-Jean (resting): I am so tired...
Monica & Sheena painted their way emotionally to get the lead.
Judge: Take care! Here is your next clue!
Sheena (conf.): The judge has a very nice soul.
Monica (conf.): Yeah. God bless her.
But in the end, it was Ronell & Renee's constant bickering that got them first.
Phil: Ronell & Renee, you, are team number.....................1!
Ronell: Shut...the...hell...up!
While Tarry & Benny couldn't put their artistic talents to use, and were the first team eliminated of RTAR2.
Phil: I am very sorry to say that you are the last team to arrive...and eliminated from the race.
Tarry: Aww...
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT??

Phil: Toliman Volcano. This volcano situated on the shores of Lake Atitlan in the Guatemalan Highlands, is the first Pitstop in a race around the world. Teams arrived here at the end of last leg for a mandatory rest period. Will Ronell & Renee continue to bicker, or will they get to their senses and work together? Will Mary-Jean & Josephine be able to overcome their unimpressive performance last leg? Will Justin & Cathy and Stephen & J.T. get the position they were oh so expecting? All teams were transported to La Aurora International Airport in Guatemala City for the safety and convenience of the teams. Ronell & Renee, who were the first to arrive at 8:34am, will depart at 8:34pm.

First To Depart: 8:34pm
Renee: Fly to Tegucigalpa, Honduras! Once there, take a taxi to the Statue of the Hero to find your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now fly to Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras.

Then, teams must travel by taxi to the Statue of General Francisco Morazan, the President of Central America and Head of State of Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Honduras in the 1800's. It is here that teams find their next clue.


Ronell: You have $80 for this leg of the race.
Renee: The airport's only behind us. Let's go.
Renee (conf.): First in the first leg...Wow. I would never expected that. It wasn't teamwork that propelled us, though. We'll see how this leg goes.
Ronell: We're checking the Internet.

Internet Service Area:
Renee: Any flights?
Ronell: Yup. But it's about an hour from now.
Renee: Let's take it.
Ronell: No! I'm gonna keep searching.
Renee: Whatever you say... :res:

Second To Depart: 8:44pm
Arnold: Fly to Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Third To Depart: 8:45pm
Sheena: Statue of the Hero.
Monica: I am so glad the airport is just here.

Glorietta: Is it hot in Honduras?
Arnold: Yeah.
Monica: We should look in the Internet.
Sheena: Good idea.
Glorietta: They're checking for flights.
Arnold: Let's go with them.
Arnold (conf.): I am very sure no one would ever think midgets and disabled people will be able to pull out a surprising first leg placing. We didn't.
Glorietta (conf.): Yes. So surprised.

Internet Service Area:
Sheena: I can only find this flight, Monica.
Monica: You do whatever you do. I have all my fate in you.
Sheena: I guess so.
Arnold: Honey, this is it. Let's leave!
Glorietta: Shut down first!
Renee: They're leaving already and I think we should too.
Ronell: I can't find a better flight. This is just hard.

Fourth To Depart: 8:55pm
Sofia: Honduras, alright.
Josh: Let's see if we can meet the first three teams. Where do you want to check first?
Sofia: I'll go with the American flights. So Delta, United, and American Airlines. ;D

United Airlines Counter:
Arnold: Hello.
Counter worker: Do you need a stool, sir? Madam?
Arnold: Nah. We just want two tickets to Tegucigalpa, Honduras?
Counter worker: Sure...
A few minutes later, Josh & Sofia arrived.
Josh: Is this the flight?
Sheena: We're taking this flight.
Sofia: Should we, Josh?
Josh: Let's go with it, I think it's good.
Counter worker: Here you go.
Glorietta: Now we will rest.
A few minutes later, Ronell & Renee arrived.
Renee: How did Josh & Sofia get here first?
Ronell: Maybe there was a travel agency nearby. :duno:
Renee: I don't think so.
Counter worker: Here.
Josh: Thank you.
Sofia: Yay! :wohoo:
Renee: Two tickets to Teguz, please?
Counter worker: Sorry, no more tickets.
Ronell: NO MORE TICKETS??
Renee: What?
Josh (whispering): Oh, holy crap.
Josh (conf.): Turned out, we got the last tickets!
Sofia (conf.): We just stole a first place finish from them!
Renee: Can't you put us on standby?
Counter worker: Yeah, I can.
Ronell: Good. That was so unbelievable...
Renee: I told you we should've left earlier.
Ronell: Not my fault.

Fifth To Depart: 9:06pm
Aida: We're off, papa.
Aida (conf.): We did pretty well last leg.
Alphonse (conf.): At least we know we can do it.

United Airlines Counter:
Renee: We should look for another flight.
Ronell: Yeah. Any other flights to Tegucigalpa?
Counter worker: Yes, but arrives eleven hours later.
Ronell: Let's take it. I'm feeling so frustrated right now.
Renee: Are you nuts? I'm going to check for a better flight whether you're coming or not!

Internet Service Area:
Ronell & Renee and Aida & Alphonse began searching for flights.
Renee: There! TACA, arrives twenty minutes later, let's get that.
Ronell: Sure thing, babe.
Renee: I will not be lenient to that.
Aida: Let's take this flight, papa.
Alphonse: Okay, Aida.

TACA Counter:
Renee: We want the 10:10pm flight to Tegucigalpa?
Counter worker: Okay...There!
Ronell: It is really sad that we lost our lead.
Renee: Yeah...Should've left earlier.
Ronell: Do not blame it on me!! (:
Aida: Same flights as them.
Counter worker: Okay.
Alphonse: Thanks.

Sixth To Depart: 9:21pm
Juanita: You have $80 for this leg of the race.
Adolph: :yess: New leg!
Adolph & Juanita got the TACA tickets as well and at 9:30pm, the United Airlines flight carrying Glorietta & Arnold, Monica & Sheena, and Josh & Sofia, departed.

Seventh To Depart: 9:30pm
Cecilia: You have $80 for this leg of the race.
Jean: Yay!
Cecilia: We are going to the Internet service area.

Eight To Depart: 9:38pm
Cathy: Tegucigalpa! Ooh! :colors
Justin: That sounds exciting.
Justin (conf.): We're hoping to excel today.
Cathy (conf.): As soldiers, we never back down. We are always in for a fight.

Ninth To Depart: 9:40pm
Yamazaki: Statue of the Hero. Hm...We will need to search for that.
Kentaro (conf.): The first leg of the race was very difficult so we don't know if we will be able to survive until the end. :lol:
Yamazaki (conf.): We'll try our best, still.

Internet Service Area:
Cathy: Hey girls. Can we check with you?
Cecilia: Sure. ;D
Yamazaki: Can we check with you as well?
They ignored him.
Kentaro: Let's just search the flights our own.
Yamazaki: So rude...
Cecilia: Let's try this one. TACA, departs 11:30pm, arrives 12:20am.
Justin: Let's go!
Cathy: :jam:
Kentaro: I don't know what flight they're talking about. All I see is one departing at 10:10pm, arriving 12:20am. And another departing 11:30pm, arriving 12:35am!!
Yamazaki: Maybe they misread it. Let's get the first one.
Kentaro: Yeah.

Eighth To Depart: 9:47pm
J.T.: Let's go!
Stephen: Bye, Guatemala.
Stephen (conf.): We suck in the first leg but that won't happen again.
J.T. (conf.): We will be extra careful from now on.

TACA Counter:
Cathy: We want four 11:30pm tickets for a flight to Tegucigalpa, please?
Counter worker: Sure! Here you go!
Justin: Thank you!
Cathy: Thanks!
Cecilia: Thanks guys!
Jean: This is just great!
Yamazaki (whispering): 10:10pm flight to Tegucigalpa, please?
Counter worker: Okay! ;D
Yamazaki (conf.): We do not plan to work with Cecilia & Jean and Justin & Cathy. We got this evil aroma from them.
Kentaro (conf.): Yes. :tup:
Stephen & J.T. received the first TACA flight.

Last To Depart: 10:01pm
Josephine: I wish we weren't in this situation.
Mary-Jean: What a discouragement...
Mary-Jean (conf.): We thought we were a strong team. Unfortunately, we're not.
Josephine: We need to get the right flight.

Internet Service Area:
They quickly searched for the best flights, finally finding one that they think they should take.
Mary-Jean: Let's get this! Hurry!
Josephine: Okay!!!
At the counter...
Josephine: We need two tickets to Tegucigalpa, please!!!
Counter worker: Okay...Sorry, unfortunately, the flight is about to leave.
Josephine: No! Please, you can't do this to us! We need that flight!!
Counter worker: Why? You can go in this next flight.
Mary-Jean: It'll be too late! Please, madame!!! I'm begging you on my knees right now!!
Counter worker: :duno:
Josephine: We need to go to my brother's funeral!!
Mary-Jean: And my should-have-been-soon-to-be husband!! I need to see my husband should've-been!!
Counter worker: Oh my god! Really? I'll work as fast as I can! You can get business seats!!
Mary-Jean: We don't have money.
Counter worker: Never mind! You can pay in economy price! This is a must for you, as I've missed my flight to Miami for my grandfather's funeral! Here you go! Take care!
Mary-Jean: THANK YOU SO MUCH, madame!!
Mary-Jean (conf.): The counter worker has a very nice heart and is really sensitive. I kind of felt bad we lied badly to her.
Josephine (conf.): Yeah. I kind of made our pleas more miserable and devastating...I won't do it again, I hated it.
Mary-Jean: At least we got the flight...No more death pleas.
Josephine: Yah, yah. :groan:

Phil: All teams are now on one of three flights to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The United Airlines flight, departing at 9:30pm and scheduled to arrive at 12am, carries Glorietta & Arnold, Monica & Sheena, and Josh & Sofia. The first TACA flight, departing at 10:10pm and scheduled to arrive at 12:20am, carries Ronell & Renee, Aida & Alphonse, Adolph & Juanita, Kentaro & Yamazaki, Stephen & J.T., and Mary-Jean & Josephine. The second TACA flight, departing at 11:30pm and scheduled to arrive at 12:35am, carries Cecilia & Jean, and Justin & Cathy.

Toncontin International Airport:
Sheena: So we know we are going to General Francisco Morazan Statue since we've asked someone for it and it's on the map! But we have to take a taxi. Here's one now.
Arnold: TAXI! Do you know how to get to the Statue of the Hero?
Taxi driver:
Glorietta: Hero statue!
Taxi driver: Wha?
Arnold: Never mind.
Glorietta: Can anyone tell us where Statue of the Hero is???
Sofia: Josh! This guy knows where it is!! And what it is!!
Josh: Lucky! Let's go!
It took Glorietta & Arnold a long time until they found a taxi driver that knows where to go.
Arnold: Finally! Thank you!
Glorietta: We should've done some research...

Statue of General Francisco Morazan:
Sofia: Wow this is epic.
Josh: I see something just as epic, the clue!
Sofia: Find the National Autonomous University of Honduras for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now find this university, found in 1847, for their next clue.


Sofia: Caution: Yield Ahead! Uh oh.
Phil: This is the first Yield of the race. A team can Yield any team they want, but they must give in their Courtesy Of picture in order to do so. If a team is Yielded, they must turn over this hourglass and only until the sands of time was gone and down, they can continue on with the race.


Josh: Ooh...
Sofia: I don't think we should use it.
Josh: We haven't gotten to the Yield site yet. Taxi or walk?
Sofia: I see the university here. Let's walk.
A few minutes later, Monica & Sheena retrieved their clue.
Sheena: National Autonomous University, please?
Taxi driver: Okay!!
Sheena: I hope we're not Yielded.

National Autonomous University:
One team arrived at the Yield board...
Sofia: We're not Yielding.
Josh: Next clue, please!
Sofia: Make your way to Chiminike!
Phil: Teams must now proceed to Chiminike, a science museum for all kids alike.


Josh: Let's see...
Monica & Sheena arrived...
Sheena: Chiminike.
Monica: You are doing so good in this, Sheena. Just don't bash me on a taxi!
Sheena: I won't. Chiminike?
Taxi driver: Ahh.
Josh: Monica & Sheena are here.
Sofia: TAXI!! Chiminike!
Both teams grabbed their taxis and are headed to Chiminike.

Statue of General Francisco Morazan:
Glorietta: There's our clue...National Autonomous University.
Arnold: Crap, a Yield.
Glorietta: Should we use it on Ronell & Renee?
Arnold: :duno:
They boarded the taxi to the university.

Chiminike:
Josh: There we go.
Sofia: What do we have here?
Sheena: Monica, it's a Detour!
Josh: Nails or Graphite!
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams will get to learn science in interesting ways, Nails or Graphite.
In Nails, teams go to the technology room and there, one team member must lie down on nails while the other member must quickly pull each nail from another table of nails to find the releasable one. Once released and found, they'll receive their next clue. If the member on the nails sat up or given up, they will have to switch roles. This task requires the trust of team members and may be frightening. But teams with the haste and endurance may be able to get out of the painful painless experience.

In Graphite, teams go to the parents workshop room and there, they will be given a test on hurricanes. They must pass in order to receive their next clue. Although there's nothing much to do in this task other than tick the boxes, teams without the scientific knowledge could wind up stuck in here for quite some time.


Sofia: We are doing...Graphite.
Sheena: Nails. Though we don't want to do either.

Nails:
Sheena: Here we are, Monica.
Man: Who will lie down?
Monica: I will.
Monica (conf.): I wasn't really scared. But when I felt the poking of the nails I was feeling panicky. But it's the only role I can do.
Monica: It hurts so much.
Sheena began to find the releasable nail.
Sheena: I'll try to get you out as soon as I can!!

Graphite:
Sofia: Let's go.
Josh: At least we work together.
Sofia: Yeah...So...This is hard.

National Autonomous University:
Arnold: There we are!
Glorietta: We chose not to Yield! We think we have the lead.
Arnold: We need to go to Chiminike now!
Glorietta: Is that a pink wallet?
Arnold: Huh?
Arnold picked up the wallet and started examining it, with no evidence of identification, only 1,000HNL.
Arnold: Oh wow...
Glorietta: That's a lot of money... There are no rules stating we can't keep money we find on the floor!!!
Arnold: I know...I just hope this isn't counterfeit.
Glorietta: We will need it, for sure.
Glorietta (conf.): Well, we must've been EXTREMELY lucky this leg to find a thousand Lempiras. That's a huge profit!! :tup:
Arnold (conf.): We thought we could use that to pay for taxis the whole way!!!

Toncontin International Airport:
The second flight arrived.
Kentaro: Taxi!!
Josephine: TAXI!
Stephen: I got a taxi, J.T.!
J.T.: Statue of the Hero?
Taxi driver: Uhhh... :duno:
Yamazaki: Statue of the Hero!
Taxi driver: Okay!!
Yamazaki: :yess:
Josephine: Take us to Statue of General Francisco, please.
Taxi driver: Sure.
Renee: We should've checked where we are going.
Ronell: That's your job.
Renee: Yeah, and not as a team because we really are not a team.
Ronell: (:
Aida: We know where to go, we just don't know where to go.
Alphonse: I suggest working with them.
Adolph: I maybe there's another name for it.
Aida: Can we work with you guys? We know the real name of the place! ;D
Juanita: Really?
Aida: Yah. Let us check the map.
Juanita: What if you steal?
Aida: Why would we steal? That's against the rules! There, we go there! Statue of Francisco Morazan!!
Adolph: Okay, we trust you. Let's all go together in that taxi.
J.T.: Stephen! Here's a taxi!
Stephen: Great!
Ronell: Where do we go?
Renee: :groan: Time to get your thinking caps on.
After long minutes, they finally found a driver that understood them, knew the place, and knew how to get there.

Chiminike:
Glorietta: Nails or Graphite!
Arnold: Nails! I will lie down first.
Glorietta: Okay. I'll try my best.

Nails:
Sheena continued finding the releasable nail.
Sheena: I am so sorry, Monica!!
Monica: It's okay!! Just try your best!
Sheena: I am, Monica!! There's just so many!
Monica: HOW MANY???
Sheena: More than a hundred!!! Perhaps a thousand!
Monica: What? Ridiculous!
A few minutes later, Glorietta & Arnold arrived.
Sheena: Glorietta & Arnold are here.
Arnold: Good luck, honey!
Glorietta: Thanks, sweetie.

Graphite:
Josh: Done! Okay, let's check our answers.
Sofia: I hope we pass it...
The results show...

Statue of General Francisco Morazan:
Kentaro: Here it is.
Mary-Jean: :yess:
Kentaro: National Autonomous University.
Josephine: Caution: Yield Ahead!!!
Mary-Jean: Ooh...
Yamazaki: We're taking that taxi.
Mary-Jean: The guy doesn't know where it is. So we'll ask for directions and walk.
Adolph & Juanita and Aida & Alphonse then arrived.
Juanita: We'll walk. We're saving money.
Aida: No! We can help you pay!! We will pay 75% of the fare!!
Adolph: Really? Okay!
Aida (conf.): We need their map for as long as we can but they are so not eager to work with us.
Alphonse (conf.): I think wasting our money for that is not smart.
Aida (conf.): Sorry, papa.
A few minutes later, another team arrived and headed to National Autonomous University.
J.T.: Do you know how to get to National Autonomous University?
Driver: Yes, I know.
Stephen: Wonderful!

Graphite:
The results are still pending...
Sofia: We need to pass, right? So 50%?
Woman: Yes.
They got...a percentage score of..............................................................
Josh: 75%!!! :wohoo:
Sofia: :yess:
Woman: Congratulations!! Here is your next clue!! Great job!!
Sofia: Thank you!!
Josh: Where shall we go next???
Sofia: Travel by foot to Multiplaza.
Phil: Teams must now run to this mall where they'll find their next clue.


Josh: We need to walk. Good thing we have a map.
Sofia: That was fun.

Nails:
Sheena: I am very sorry, Monica.
Monica sat up.
Monica: Oh my gosh! Sheena, I'm so sorry!!!
Sheena: It's okay. Take your rest so that you can go again after I tried to get up there.
Monica: I really am sorry.
Sheena: It's okay. You were the one that had to endure the pain, I'm supposed to be the one saying sorry for taking such a long time...
Sheena (conf.): That was a really hard Detour! It's one of those saving your love one from torture!

National Autonomous University:
One team arrived there first.
Yamazaki: There we go.
Kentaro: Should we Yield??
Yamazaki: YEAH!! :snicker:


Yamazaki: For ignoring us at the airport!!
Kentaro: We are soooo gonna be hated for this. :groan:
Yamazaki: It's for game purposes! Chiminike!!
Kentaro: We're taking the taxi.

Chiminike:
Yamazaki: Detour! Nails or Graphite!
Kentaro: I know a bit about storms while reading something about Hurricane Katrina.
Yamazaki: Maybe Hurricane Katrina is our lucky charm. We choose to do Graphite.

National Autonomous University:
Josephine: We're not planning to Yield anyone.
Adolph: Make your way to Chiminike. How do you pronounce that?
Alphonse: Oh!! Cecilia & Jean's been Yielded!
Aida: That's too bad, papa.
Mary-Jean: Do you know how to get to Chiminike?
The driver nodded.
Mary-Jean: Good. We're taking the taxi, then.
Juanita: Okay, Aida, we appreciate your help. But unless you can pay the taxi the full amount from now on, we won't bring you along.
Aida: Ugh...Papa?
Alphonse: No thanks. We'll just walk! Let's go...
Aida: I agree.
Juanita: Sorry.
Juanita (conf.): I didn't want Aida & Alphonse to gain an advantage by following us!!
Adolph (conf.): It was a good choice, in my opinion.
Juanita: We're taking the taxi.

Statue of General Francisco Morazan:
Ronell: We go there.
Renee: No, the lady said there!!
Ronell: NO! THERE!!!
Ronell forced Renee to go to his direction.
Renee: RONELL! Let go of me!! RONELL!!! LET GO!! You are so forceful!!
Ronell: Chill! You wouldn't listen to me, that's why!!
Renee: That doesn't mean you have to drag me like a ragged doll!
Ronell: Stop talking, shut up, listen to me, let me decide, and you are doing the wrong things!!
Renee: You're calling me an idiot.
Ronell: Yeah! See, there's the clue box.
Renee: Whatever. This is starting to become not worth it.
Ronell: National Autonomous University. Oh shoot, there's a Yield ahead!
Renee: I don't care because I would be okay with elimination.
Ronell: (:

Nails:
Arnold: You can do it, Glorietta!
Glorietta: I'm trying!!
Monica: I'm ready to try again.
Sheena: Good luck, Monica.
Sheena got on the nails to end her turn first.
Sheena: Ow. So painful!!!
Monica: It's because you're heavy.
Sheena: Hey! Okay so...there. I'll go now!! So...I stopped right there...
Glorietta: I found it!! ARNOLD!
Arnold: Awesome job, honey!!! :hugs: :kuss:
Man: Here is your next clue!
Glorietta: :yess: Multiplaza...
Arnold: We need to walk there?? :groan: We don't have a map!
Glorietta: I cannot believe we are doing this in the middle of the night!!
Arnold: Yeah. Made me think the locals are purely strangers and gangsters.

Graphite:
Kentaro & Yamazaki had already begun the quiz.
Kentaro: This is harder than I thought...
Yamazaki: Just guess most of them! Lucky we have choices!

Chiminike:
Adolph: Detour!
Josephine: Nails or Graphite!
Mary-Jean: Graphite sounds easier.
Josephine: Alright then. Graphite!
Juanita: Graphite.
Mary-Jean: Ooh...So we have competition. :snicker:
Juanita: Actually, we both studied meteorology before.
Josephine: The test will be completely on storms, not meteors.
Adolph: Actually, meteorology is about the weather.
Josephine: Oh? Dang... :groan:

Graphite:
The three teams, Kentaro & Yamazaki, Mary-Jean & Josephine, and Adolph & Juanita, do their tests.
Mary-Jean: By the way, great job on Yielding them.
Yamazaki: Thanks...See, it looks like it was a good idea after all.

Toncontin International Airport:
The third flight finally arrived at Tegucigalpa.
Cathy: Justin, I am thinking the rest of the teams took better flights.
Justin: Damn...
Order of finding a taxi were...Justin & Cathy, then Cecilia & Jean.
Jean: We are probably fighting for last now... :ascared
Cecilia: We just have to hope for the best, Jean...

Nails:
Sheena: Dangit. This is so hard. I might have missed it! I hope I didn't miss any!
Monica: You can do it, Sheena.

Graphite:
Kentaro: Done! Okay let's check!
Yamazaki: Come on...
The results show......

National Autonomous University:
Stephen: Dammit! They used the Yield!
J.T.: Oh well!
Stephen (conf.): I seriously wanted to try the Yield and other hindrance opportunities!!
J.T. (conf.): I guess we aren't the most cutthroat team!
Stephen (conf.): They're pretty dumb, though. I'm sure Justin & Cathy are the better option.
J.T.: Chiminike...
Stephen: This guy knows where to go. Great!

Graphite:
The results show.....................................
Kentaro: 49%!! Dangit!!
Woman: Great score, but not enough to pass.
Yamazaki: That is stupid. Come on, we only have to get one or two correct to get our next clue.
Juanita: We're ready to check!!
Josephine: Us too!!
Adolph: You guys are fast as well!
Mary-Jean: We understood these stuff.
Josephine: It's strange. We must've heard of them somewhere!!
The results show..............................................................respectively..........................................................
Juanita: 60%!!! :jumpy:
Mary-Jean & Josephine: 50%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wohoo: :wohoo:
Woman: Nice ones! Here are your clues!
Adolph: So happy!
Josephine: Walk to Multiplaza.
Juanita: I never thought Honduras to be this beautiful and fun!
Yamazaki: Dang...
Kentaro: How are they doing that?

Chiminike:
J.T.: Detour! Nails or Graphite!
Stephen: Hmm...Graphite?
J.T.: Nails! We can test our friendship!
Stephen: Okay, sure.

National Autonomous University:
Renee: Phew! We're not Yielded!!
Ronell: Good! Now...Chiminike...Shall we take a taxi or run?
Renee: Hmm...I'll ask if he knows where it is...Yes, he does!
Ronell: We're riding the taxi.

Statue of General Francisco Morazan:
Cathy: National Autonomous University.
Jean: Quick, Cecilia! They are so ahead of us!
Cecilia: I am VERY sorry, Jean! I am trying my best, you know!

Chiminike:
Renee: Detour! Nails or Graphite!
Ronell: Nails.
Renee: I agree with you...for once.

Nails:
Sheena kept searching while J.T. is on the nails and Stephen is trying to find the releasable one. Ronell & Renee were going to the location.
Sheena and Stephen: I found it!
Monica: Yay, Sheena!
Sheena: Oh my god, Stephen is so quick!!
Stephen: Yes! Dude, it took me so little time! It was very near!! :lol:
J.T.: Now that's what I call luck!
Sheena: We are so unlucky...
Stephen: Multiplaza.
Sheena: Let's go.
J.T.: We don't have a map. Looks like we will need to ask the locals?
Stephen: What are you talking about? It's midnight already! Almost 1am!!
J.T.: Oh my goodness! Really?
Sheena: We can help you guys.
Stephen: Really?
J.T.: Thank you so much, gals!
Sheena: But of course my sister needs to be priority one. She's blind, you know.
Stephen: Oh, so you're the one! You are so brave to join this race.
Monica: Thanks...

On their way to Multiplaza:
Arnold: Sucks we don't have a map...
Glorietta: I know! We can get a taxi to lead us there!
Arnold: Oh! That's very good!!
They quickly got a taxi and they followed it, trying to catch up.
Glorietta: Slow down, PLEASE!!
Arnold: I wish I were wearing my skates.

National Autonomous University:
Cathy: Yes! We can get a head start!
Justin: Good!
Cecilia: Oh shoot!! We're Yielded!
Jean: NOO!!! That is so UNFAIR!!!!!
They turned the hourglass and started drawing marks on Kentaro & Yamazaki's faces.
Jean: Jerks...
Cecilia: They're taking advantage of us.

Graphite:
Kentaro & Yamazaki went to check again.
Yamazaki: 52%!! :yess:
Kentaro: Yay! Now the Multiplaza!

Nails:
Ronell is on the nails.
Ronell: FASTER, Renee!
Renee: I am, I am! Calm down or else you will feel pain!
Ronell: I already am!
Renee: Me too! My ears are dying from your shouts! I AM TRYING MY BEST, okay?
Ronell: You're not going fast enough!
Renee: Grr...

Chiminike:
Aida: Finally, I see our clue, papa.
Alphonse: Nice. Such a far place.
Aida: Detour. Nails or Graphite.
Alphonse: Hmm...
Aida: Let's try Nails! Graphite will be too boring. And I wanna be on nails!
Alphonse: Okay then.
A minute later...
Cathy: Detour! Nails or Graphite!
Justin: We'll gut it and do Nails.
Cathy: Yup.

National Autonomous University:
Jean: This is so boring...
Jean (conf.): We were very pissed off and angry. I wanna punch those guys.
Cecilia (conf.): First they used us to their advantage, then they Yield us! They are so immoral!
Jean (conf.): Those idiots...
Cecilia: So frustrated...

Nails:
Renee: Ugh! This is so annoying...
Ronell: Come on, Renee!!
Aida: Please do it fast, papa.
Alphonse: I will try!

National Autonomous University:
Cecilia: Done!
Jean: Ohh thank goodness.
Cecilia: Chiminike. Let's go.

Multiplaza:
Josh: That was so far.
Sofia: Yes...Now where's our clue?
Josh: I see it.
Sofia: Make your way to Villa Olimpica.
Phil: Teams must find this place for their next clue.


Sofia: We need a taxi. The walking path for this is a lot farther.
They took some time looking for a willing driver.

Chiminike:
Jean: Detour! Nails or Graphite!
Cecilia: Graphite, it's much faster!
Jean: I think so too.

Nails:
Justin & Cathy came and Justin lied on the nails. All three teams battled it out, one team gave up, another succeeded.
Ronell (standing up): Dangit Renee! What's wrong with you??
Renee: I'm sorry! I can't find it! Why are you up??
Ronell: You lie there!
Renee: NO! Don't let me lie there!! Hey!! DON'T!!
Man: HEY! Don't push her to the nails!! It's very dangerous!!!
Ronell: Sorry! Just GET THERE already!!!
Renee: STOP IT!!
Cathy: Oh my god.
Cathy (conf.): Ronell was so rude to her wife. Oh wait, they're not spouses. But still, a very cruel scenario. :ascared
Justin (conf.): We are soldiers, but we don't get offensive in that situation. So therefore, Ronell would make a bad soldier despite his strength.
Renee: RONELL! Let go! You can't hurry me like that!
Aida: Our clue, sir?
Man: Yeah, okay.
Aida: Thanks, let's go, papa.
Aida (conf.): Ronell & Renee are very dysfunctional, especially Ronell.
Alphonse (conf.): He needs some anger management.

Multiplaza:
Arnold: Our taxi driver is so helpful.
Glorietta: Plus, his carlights are really guiding. ;D
Arnold: There's our clue!!
Glorietta: Make your way to Villa Olimpica.
Arnold: How far is it to Villa Olimpica?
Driver: Very fast by taxi, twenty minutes on foot.
Arnold: Taxi then. Thank you!

Graphite:
Jean: I am so glad we can guess. Leave our fate into the hands of Lady Luck.
Cecilia: So true! :funny:
The results show..........................................
Jean: Woo...

Nails:
Cathy continued searching while Ronell & Renee kept arguing. Finally...
Renee: FINE! Ronell, I'll do it!!
Ronell: Sheesh!
Renee lied down.

Graphite:
Jean: Woo..............................................65%!! YAY! :hearts:
Cecilia: Quick! Where's our clue?
Woman: Good job.
Cecilia: YES! Now we need to go to...Multiplaza.

Nails:
Cathy: Justin, I found it! You can sit up now!!
Justin: Thank you so much! Good job, sweetie.
Cathy: Mission accomplished, I guess.
Justin: That's just a sub-mission. Now we need to find the Multiplaza.
Cathy: Be thankful for the inventions of maps.
Justin: Thank you Leonardo da Vinci, for inventing the map!
Cathy: What? You're good at athletics, but definitely not history! :groan:
Renee sat up.
Renee: Ow. Sorry, Ronell.
Ronell: (: At least I get to go again!!
Ronell pushed Renee.
Renee: Ow!! That is just rude!!!
Ronell: Well you're not getting to work! What else am I supposed to do?
Renee: All I want you to do is to be lenient! Sheesh!! You have already crossed the breakup point!!
Ronell: Humph...
Ronell (conf.): I was frustrated at the Detour, at her. She was just like a puppet, waiting to be controlled by someone who knows better.
Renee (with tears): This task is so maddening.
Renee (conf.): I hated Ronell more than ever that leg. It was horrible. :groan:

Villa Olimpica:
Arnold: I see it. Don't leave, please.
Glorietta: Okay...
Arnold: Roadblock! Who has an accurate eye?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member must perform. In this Roadblock, that team member must enter the archery field and hit three targets. Once done, they'll be handed their next clue.


Arnold: I'll do it.
Glorietta: Go, honey!

Nails:
Renee: I got it.
Ronell: Finally! Took your time.
Renee: Make your way on foot to Multiplaza.
Ronell: We lost a huge amount of time there, even let the back teams catch up.
Renee: Whatever...

Multiplaza:
Adolph: Make your way to Multiplaza.
Josephine: Great. We need to find a taxi.
Mary-Jean: We can just walk though.
Josephine: Really? Good, then! ;D
Juanita: Let's search for a taxi.
Adolph: Yes.
They took some time to find a taxi, finally giving up.
Juanita: No taxis around! Must be past midnight already!
Adolph: This place is just creepy now...
Adolph (conf.): Honduras at night isn't really a walk in the park. More like...
Juanita (conf.): A walk to hell.
Adolph (conf.): Likely.
A few minutes later, two more teams arrived.
Sheena: Make your way...
Stephen: To Villa Olimpica.
Sheena: We're walking, sis, I have the location on the map and there is not a taxi anywhere.
J.T.: This is really difficult.
Stephen: Girls, can we follow you?
Sheena: Uhm...We don't want to be used.
Stephen: Please...
Sheena: Sorry, guys.
J.T.: We'll pay you a hundred.
Sheena: Okay then.
J.T.: Thank you, ma'am.
J.T. (conf.): We had to do everything from the most strategic to the least, the least not being to waste our money, but to not try to get to follow Monica & Sheena and be in last.
Stephen (conf.): Yea, I have to agree with him on that. Even though a hundred seemed too much!
Sheena: Okay guys, you can follow us.
Stephen: Great!!

Villa Olimpica:
Arnold failed so far.
Glorietta: Go honey!!
Arnold: This is so difficult. Ma'am, can you please lower the target? I'm too short?
Woman: Ha? :duno:
Arnold:
Arnold (conf.): It was so hard for me to do the Roadblock because I am so short. The woman couldn't understand what I wanted. It was annoying.
Arnold shoots...
Glorietta: :hearts: YAY!
Arnold: This reminds me so much of the China Roadblock in TAR10!! (1/3)
Glorietta: Let's hope we're not the victim this time!
Arnold: Cool. Two more! ;D

Multiplaza:
Yamazaki: Villa Olimpica...Hm...It's on the map.
Kentaro: Why is the leg held at night? :groan:
Yamazaki: We have to walk. We have no other choice.

Villa Olimpica:
Arnold: I am so tired right now...
Arnold struggled to aim, he let go, and...
Arnold: Woah! Yay!
Glorietta: You are making me excited, dear!
Arnold: Sorry! (2/3)
Glorietta: You need ONE more! How great is that???
Arnold: REALLY great!
He took some more attempts until.........
Arnold: I did it! :wohoo: (3/3)
Glorietta: :yess: :kuss: Great job, dear!
Woman: Good job!
Arnold: That was fun.
Glorietta: I hope this is the Pitstop.........Proceed to La Leona Park for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now go to La Leona Park and search for their next clue.


Arnold: Let's go!
Glorietta: Driver, sir. Do you know how to get to La Leona Park?
Driver: La Leona, okay.
Glorietta: Okay? Great. Sorry for wasting your sleep time. Let's go, honey. You were great!
A few minutes later, Josh & Sofia arrived.
Sofia: Who has an accurate eye? I'll do it. Save all the strength tasks for Josh.
Josh: Yup. ;D
Sofia: Oh no...This is a strength task. Stupid wordplaying question.
Josh: You can do it, Sofia!
Sofia: I've only tried archery once in my life, and all I hit was the patch of grass right in front of me...
Sofia struggled with the task.

Multiplaza:
Alphonse: Make your way to Villa Olimpica.
Aida (yawning): This is way too long...I am feeling so sleepy.
Alphonse: But we have to keep walking.
Aida: Dangit. How will we know how to get to Villa Olimpica now??
Alphonse: Oh no...
Aida: We are lost.
It took some time before they find a person walking on the streets willing to help them.
Man: Okay, I'll help you.
Aida: Great! Thank you so much!

La Leona Park:
Arnold: We need to find our clue...
Glorietta: Hmm...
Arnold: Searching for things in the dark, um...yeah.
Glorietta: I found it, Arnold!
Arnold: That's great!
Glorietta: Thank god it didn't take forever...Make your way to the next Pitstop: Presidential Palace! Hurry! The last team to check-in may be eliminated!
Phil: Teams must make their way to the next Pitstop: Presidential Palace. This magnificent building, which in the past was used as a supreme court, but now accomodates the museum of Francisco Morazan, is the next Pitstop of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.


Glorietta: So exciting!
Arnold: Let's go and do this, dear!! :wohoo:

Villa Olimpica:
Sofia continued to struggle, practising her archery skills.
Sofia: I am so fed up right now.
One team arrived.
Mary-Jean: Ooh hello. We caught up with Josh & Sofia!! Finally!!
Josephine: Roadblock! Who has an accurate eye? I'm willing to do it.
Mary-Jean: You've done archery?
Josephine: Yes, actually. ;D
Mary-Jean: Go ahead, then!
One of them shot a target.
Josephine: :yess: That was quick! (1/3)
Mary-Jean: Two more, Josephine!! :hearts: You're doing great!
Sofia: Dammit. She is so good at that.
Another target hit...
Sofia: Finally! Wohoo, nice! (1/3)
Josh: Yay, babe! :tup:
Sofia: I can actually do this!
Mary-Jean: Don't let her beat you, Josephine!
Another team then arrived.
Juanita: Roadblock. Who has an accurate eye?
Adolph: We know who that is.
Juanita: You, I am no good at this perhaps.
Adolph: I'm doing it. Oh I get to play archery! :hearts:
Juanita: Good luck, Adolph!
The three Roadblockers struggled at the Roadblock. But two more targets were hit.
Josephine: YAY! (2/3)
Mary-Jean: You are doing SO GREAT, Josephine!!!
Adolph: Score! :yess: (1/3)
Juanita: You are so good! :wohoo:
Sofia: Dammit...
Josh: Do not give up!

Presidential Palace-Pitstop:
Arnold: Thank you! You've been a great helper!!
Glorietta: I see Phil in the dark!!

Greeter: Nahki sa! Welcome to Teguz, Honduras!
Glorietta: What language was that?
Greeter: Miskito.
Glorietta: Ooh...
Phil: Glorietta & Arnold, you, are team number...........................................................1!
Arnold: Wow! :wohoo:
Glorietta: :wohoo: That is AWESOME news!! :kuss:
Phil: As winners for this leg of the race, you have won a trip for two from Travelocity...to Switzerland!!
Glorietta: Woah! Switzerland!
Arnold: Cold but fine.
Phil: You will visit the headquarters of United Nations in Geneva, visit the palaces and tourist attractions of the country, see the ice glaciers, and more!
Glorietta: Wow! That is awesome!!
Phil: So, surprised you got first?
Arnold: We never really expected that!
Glorietta: But we found a missing wallet on the floor containing 1,000HNL and that helped us!
Phil: What? Really?
Glorietta: Yeah...Is that unallowed?
Phil: No, it's allowed. You are very fortunate, keep your luck up!! And you yourselves keep it up!
Arnold: We're short but we'll keep it up! ;D

Multiplaza:
Cecilia: Villa Olimpica. Hmm...
Justin & Cathy then came.
Cathy: Villa Olimpica. It's here. Let's go!
Jean: Guys, hey!
Justin: Hello.
Cathy: Oh you caught up even with the Yield! Good job!
Jean: Thanks!
Cecilia: We hate Japanese people a lot more now!!
Cathy: Understanding...
Cecilia: Can we follow you guys? :duno: We helped you with the flight.
Cathy: I suppose so...
Justin: I don't mind.
Justin (conf.): I don't know what made Kentaro & Yamazaki Yield Cecilia & Jean. I mean, clearly, they are less threatening than us. So there must be something that we didn't see in them. I mean, they are so trustworthy! Or at least they seem so.
Cathy (conf.): We are just having a loose alliance. I wouldn't want to call it an alliance, though...

Villa Olimpica:
One team completed the Roadblock, closely followed by another.
Woman: Here are your clues!
Adolph: :yess:
Josephine: Finally.
Juanita: Well done, darling.
Adolph: Was hard, though.
Mary-Jean: La Leona Park. Okay. You did so well!
Josephine: Thanks. :flirt:
Josh: Don't give up, Sofia! You just need one more target!
Sofia: I know...
Then, three teams found the clue one after the other.
Sheena: Roadblock, Monica!
Stephen: Who has an accurate eye?
Yamazaki: This sounds like an aiming task.
Sheena: 'Eye' kind of gave it away. :lol: I'll do it...Phew!
Monica: What task?
Sheena: Archery!
Monica: Good luck!
J.T.: I think I should do it.
Stephen: No, I think I should. I have a feeling this is my Roadblock task.
J.T.: Okay then. Good luck!
Stephen: Oh I have to play archery! Sounds fun! :yess:
J.T.: Good luck, Stevo! I believe in you!
Stephen: I know you would!
Yamazaki: I'm doing it.
Kentaro: Go Yamazaki! Do it for your children! And mine too!

Multiplaza:
Renee: Make your way to Villa Olimpica.
They took some time to find a local willing to help.
Renee: I hate the night. :groan: It is nightmare on Teguz street.

Villa Olimpica:
Woman: Here is your clue! ;D
Sofia: Yay!
Josh: You did great.
Sofia: Sorry.
Josh: La Leona Park.
Sheena hasn't scored, Stephen got one, Yamazaki none.
Monica: I can't see how she's doing.
Monica (conf.) (tearing): It is sad for me that I don't know what's going on. It's been like that my whole life. I hate it. It is really pulling me down a lot, making me a liability. Oh how I wish this would go away...
J.T.: Doing great, Stevo!
Monica:

La Leona Park:
Adolph & Juanita and Mary-Jean & Josephine found La Leona Park. One found the clue first.
Adolph: Make your way to the next Pitstop! Presidential Palace!
Juanita: Finally!!!!
A few minutes later...
Mary-Jean: Josephine! Here it is!
Josephine: All along. Crap...
Mary-Jean: Pistop. Wow...
Josephine: Now this is how you roam at midnight!

Villa Olimpica:
Woman: Here is your next clue!
J.T.: Nice one, man!
Stephen: It was really fun!
J.T.: You were awesome! :tup:
Stephen: Thank you! Now...La Leona Park. When will this end??
A few minutes later...
Woman: Here is your next clue!!
Yamazaki: Yay! :yess: :jumpy:
Kentaro: Nice.
Monica: How many more do you need, Sheena?
Sheena: Just one!
Monica: Well then I know you can do it!!!

La Leona Park:
Sofia: I see it, Josh.
Josh: Pitstop: Presidential Palace.
Sofia: I am so glad this is over.

Presidential Palace-Pitstop:
Juanita: We made it! Yay!
Greeter: Nahki sa! Welcome to Teguz, Honduras!
Adolph: Nahki sa!!
Phil: Adolph & Juanita, you, are team number................................2!
Juanita: Two! Wow!
Adolph: Great improvement! :jumpy:
A few minutes later...
Phil: Mary-Jean & Josephine, you, are team number..................................................3!
Josephine: Woah!!
Mary-Jean: From last up to third! That is amazing!
Phil: So I suspect you didn't realize you were at the top.
Mary-Jean: We didn't! Oh gosh, this is just great!
Josephine: I am so happy! :hugs:

Villa Olimpica:
Woman: Here's your clue!
Sheena: Thank you. Let's go, Monica!
Aida: Roadblock! Who has an accurate eye? Papa?
Alphonse: Okay. I'll do it. Good luck to me!
Aida: Good luck, papa!

Presidential Palace-Pitstop:
Phil: Josh & Sofia, you, are team number...........................4.
Sofia: Oh hey!
Josh: Again!
Phil: Do you think you will get lower, higher, or the same position next leg?
Sofia: We're doing so well so I think we will go higher.
Josh: But having the same position again will be cool. :lol:

La Leona Park:
J.T.: Here's the clue, Stephen.
Stephen: You are so quick!
J.T.: Make your way to the next Pitstop!
Stephen: Dangit...We shouldn't've left Monica & Sheena behind.
They looked at a lot of places for signs to Presidential Palace.
A few minutes later...
Kentaro: Let's find our clue.
Stephen: Oh! Kentaro! Yamazaki! We will lead you to the clue if we can follow you to the Pitstop!
Kentaro: The Pitstop is next? Great!
Yamazaki: Deal.
Stephen: Good!
Stephen (conf.): I sealed a deal with Kentaro & Yamazaki since that was the smart thing to do. Had we not helped them, they would've been stuck, but we would've been stuck as well.
Yamazaki: Thanks man. Let's now go to Presidential Palace.
Yamazaki (conf.): I am very sure Stephen helping us was purely strategic. We're not looking forward to working with them. They look threatening, like they have a very brainy member, and a very brawny one. We'll most likely use a power against them.

Villa Olimpica:
Alphonse already had one target and shooting for two more. Alphonse aimed...
Aida: Nice one, papa!! :hearts:
Alphonse: This is really fun. (2/3)
Aida: Okay dad! You need to get that last shot done because here comes two teams!
Jean: Roadblock!
Cathy: Who has an accurate eye? Your turn, Justin.
Cecilia: I will do it.
Alphonse shot the last target.
Woman: Here's your clue!
Aida: Good job, papa! You were great! :kuss:
They successfully found a willing taxi and were driven to La Leona Park.

La Leona Park:
Sheena: Be careful, Monica. Hold tight.
Monica: Sure, Sheena.
Sheena had a hard time finding the clue.

Villa Olimpica:
Justin completed the Roadblock swiftly while Cecilia couldn't hit the
target.
Justin: :yess: That was easy!
Cathy: I can see that!
Jean: Come on, Cecilia!
Cecilia: I got one already! ((1/3)

Presidential Palace-Pitstop:
Yamazaki: There's Phil!
J.T.: Made it! But we will let them go first. ;D
Kentaro: Thanks!
Phil: Mmhm...
Stephen: What if we're last now?
J.T.: I hope not. But there are some teams behind us.
Greeter: Nahki sa! Welcome to Teguz, Honduras!!
Stephen: Too bad we couldn't see the city in daylight. Such a shame.
Phil: Kentaro & Yamazaki, you, are team number.....................................................................5.
Yamazaki: :wohoo: Great!
Stephen: Phew!
J.T.:
Kentaro: :yess:
Phil: Stephen & J.T., you, are team number 6!
Stephen: Awesome.
Phil: Both of you improved from the first leg!!
J.T.: Oh yeah, Phil!! :yess: It feels great! Stevo did an awesome job!!
Yamazaki: It was fine.

Villa Olimpica:
Cecilia shot her second and was on to her last target.
Cecilia (to herself): I can do this...Just like poker...Never give up...Aya!
She shot.........
Cecilia: Missed...Keep trying...
Jean: I am so proud of you, Cecilia! You can do it!
Cecilia: I know I can, Jean!!
Ronell & Renee arrived.
Ronell: Roadblock. Who has an accurate eye? I will do it.
Renee: Good. :res:

La Leona Park:
Sheena: I only hope Stephen & J.T. were here to help us. Sorry, Monica.
Monica: It's okay. I 100% would not be able to find the clue box myself.
Aida & Alphonse arrived.
Aida: Hey girls!
Sheena: Hi. Any luck?
Aida: We're searching for it.
Sheena: Can you help us?
Aida: Uhh...If you share your map with us? It's hard to navigate in the dark.
Sheena: I understand. Okay then.
Sheena (conf.): I think we should start buying maps from now on. Because we seem to be able to do the tasks in exchange for them.
Monica (conf.): I heard.
Alphonse: It's right here!
Aida: :hearts:
Sheena: Pitstop, Monica!
Monica: :ascared
Sheena: Follow us, guys.
Aida: :hearts:
Aida (conf.): We were lucky to find Monica & Sheena, who had a map. Or else we would be lost.

Villa Olimpica:
Cecilia still had two while Ronell also had two. The both of them aimed...
Cecilia: Painful...
Cecilia (conf.): The moment was so intense. We were the last ones there, fighting to avoid last place. It was scary.
Ronell let go first, followed by Cecilia. And....................................both scored!
Woman: Good job! Here are your clues!
Ronell: Let's go! La Leona Park!
Cecilia: Sorry Jean!
Jean: Let's just frantically find the place! I don't want to be eliminated yet!!!

La Leona Park:
Justin & Cathy arrived and searched for the clue box.

Presidential Palace-Pitstop:
Aida: There it is!
Sheena: Oh!
Aida: Don't worry! We won't run! You helped us!
Sheena: Okay.
Greeter: Nahki sa!
Sheena: Thank you.
Aida: I hope we are not last now... :ascared
Phil: Monica & Sheena, you, are team number........................................................7!
Sheena: Oh. I think our luck is running out. :ascared
Aida & Alphonse: Woah...
Phil: So...Aida & Alphonse, you, are team number 8.
Aida: We are so buying a map from now on. We wasted so little money!
Alphonse: Yeah, so true.

La Leona Park:
Cathy: Oh my god, the two teams are here.
Justin: Shoot! This is so frustrating!
Jean: We still have a chance.
Ronell: Come on, Renee! We can do this!
Justin: Ugh. Just shoot me already.
Cecilia (whispering): Cathy, where've you searched?
Cathy (whispering): Everywhere. Let's work together.
All three teams searched. One found it first.
Cathy (whispering): Jean, Justin, here.
Jean (whispering): Great...
Justin (whispering): Pitstop...
Cecilia (whispering): Phew...
Ronell: Dang this. Renee, have you found anything??
Renee: No!! I am resting for a while! I am too tired!
Ronell: Are you kidding me? I was the one doing the Roadblock! Stop being such a drama queen!
Renee: That's it! I have had it with you!
Ronell: Me too! Now I can't recall why I still want you in the first place! (:
Renee: You're just making use of my popularity and wealth!
Finally, Ronell found it after calming themselves down.
Ronell: Let's go, Renee.
Renee: Right.

Presidential Palace-Pitstop:
Phil: Justin & Cathy, you, are team number........................................................................................9.
Justin: Close one, phew... :yess:
Cathy: Let's give Cecilia & Jean a scare.
Cecilia & Jean arrived.
Greeter: Nahki sa.
Cecilia (panting): Thank you...
Justin & Cathy: :ascared
Jean: What's wrong?
Phil: o.O
Jean: Oh my gosh!
Cecilia: Don't tell me!!
Phil: Cecilia & Jean, you, are team number.................................................................................10!!
Jean: Holy crap! You scared us!!
Cecilia: Phew! That was worse than Halloween!!
Cathy: :jumpy: Congratulations, guys!!
Jean: That was close.
Cecilia: The Yield didn't work. ;D
Jean: We can have revenge now. :snicker:
The final team finally arrived.
Ronell: This day was so bad.
Renee: It made our decisions, though.
Phil: Ronell & Renee, you, are team number.................................................................11.
Renee: Thought so. ;D
Phil: I am very sorry to say that you are the last team to arrive.
Ronell: SUCKS!!! (:
Phil: And I am very, very sorry to say...................that you have been eliminated...
Ronell: Darn!!! :groan:
Renee: It's fine...
Phil: So...
Renee: We have made our decision Phil. He is not the one for me. And he has finally admitted it that I am not the one for him.
Ronell: This race has let me see the truth of her.
Renee: Truth of me? Okay... :res:
Phil: Well, if it is for the better, I wish you luck. At least you won a leg.
Renee: Haha. Yeah, at least...

Renee (conf.) (alone): Unfortunately, Ronell failed the test and have to suffer the consequences he deserved long ago. Hopefully I will have a more relaxing life after this. But this race was very enjoyable and I love the creativity and challenge of it.
Ronell (conf.) (alone): I feel disappointed in myself for trying too hard for the tasks, but not putting enough effort to getting Renee and I together again. But that just further showed she's really not the woman for me after all. I made a grave mistake.
Renee (conf.) (alone): I really hope an underdog like Glorietta & Arnold and Monica & Sheena will win the race!
Ronell (conf.) (alone): I wish Justin & Cathy and Stephen & J.T. good luck, I think they have what it takes, since they are the powerhouse.

Episode 3: Maybe I'm The Lucky Charm In Honduras.

Previously on RealShowFan's The Amazing Race 2...Teams fly to the capital of Honduras.
Renee: Fly to Tegucigalpa, Honduras!
Ronell's unsureness of the best flight caused his team to take the second flight.
Ronell: NO MORE TICKETS??
Even though poker players Cecilia & Jean and soldiers Justin & Cathy worked together to find a good flight, none of them were able to figure out that they had a mistake.
Yamazaki: Maybe they misread it.
Kentaro & Yamazaki Yielded Cecilia & Jean as a sign of their lack of help to them.
Kentaro: Should we Yield??
Yamazaki: YEAH!!
Cecilia: Oh shoot!! We're Yielded!
While fortune is upon Glorietta & Arnold.
Glorietta: Is that a pink wallet?
Arnold: Oh wow...
At the Detour, Renee was forced to lay on nails by her teammate.
Renee: NO! Don't let me lie there!! Hey!! DON'T!!
Ronell: Just GET THERE already!!!
While Monica had her emotional break at the Roadblock.
Monica (conf.) (tearing): It is sad for me that I don't know what's going on.
In the end, with the help of the lost money they found, Glorietta & Arnold won the leg.
Arnold: Wow!
Ronell & Renee couldn't take each other much longer, and were the second team eliminated.
Ronell: SUCKS!!!
TEN TEAMS REMAIN!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT???

Phil: This is Tegucigalpa. Known to the locals as Teguz, it is the capital city of Honduras. And in the heart of the city, the Presidential Palace. This supreme court turned museum for General Francisco Morazan is the second 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 the other teams. Can anyone take over the lead Glorietta & Arnold have, when they have a thousand more than the rest? Will Cecilia & Jean live up to thier poker life and use it to their advantage to get out of last place? Glorietta & Arnold, who were the first to arrive at 1:31am, will depart at 1:31pm.

First To Depart: 1:31pm
Arnold: Take a bus to the city of Comayagua! Once there, find La Merced on foot and enter the church for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now take an intercity bus in Tegucigalpa to Comayagua, a city northwest of the capital, on the highway to San Pedro Sula.

Once there, they must find La Merced, a church, for their next clue.


Arnold: You have $11 for this leg of the race.
Glorietta: Let's find the bus station.
They quickly arrived at the bus station.
Arnold: Is this the bus to Comayagua?
Glorietta: It says Comayagua. So I guess it is. What time will it depart?
Driver: 3pm.
Glorietta: 3pm??? Everyone WILL catch up! :groan:
Arnold: Well that was unlucky...
They waited, with huge disappointment.

Second To Depart: 1:47pm
Juanita: Take a bus to...Comayagua.
Adolph: We are staying in Honduras!!!!
They found the bus.
Juanita: We are all bunched?
Arnold: Apparently.
Juanita: No way...

Third To Depart: 1:50pm
Josephine: Take a bus to the city of Comayagua.

Fourth To Depart: 1:52pm
Josh: Once there, find La Merced on foot and enter the church for your next clue. You have $11 for this leg of the race.
Sofia: Gee... :ascared
Sofia (conf.): I think we are the only team with the same placement as last leg. At least we are still at the top half of the group.
Josh (conf.): This race is already becoming so intense. Surprisingly, most of the teams we thought would rock the game are lagging behind! We're talking about Stephen & J.T., Aida & Alphonse, and Justin & Cathy.
Sofia (conf.): Yeah. We know you guys are strong, alright? No need to hide it.
Both teams found the bus, then were told of the bad news.
Sofia: No way! So we are on even ground again!
Adolph: Unfortunately, yes...
Sofia: Argh!!!
Mary-Jean: Come on, guys! Let's try to convince them to leave NOW!!!
They came up to the driver and started convincing him.
Driver: No! I will not!
Juanita: Please, sir!!
Josephine: What happened to the customers first rule??
Driver: We go to schedule.
Glorietta: We're just sitting back. We don't want to get squished.
Arnold: Yup, even though we are the ones mostly affected by this.
Josh: We will pay you a thousand each!!
Mary-Jean: Make that two thousand! I'm willing!!!
Driver: Sorry. Besides, I won't get the money anyway.
Josephine: This guy's dumb...

Fifth To Depart: 2:02pm
Yamazaki: Comayagua.

Sixth To Depart: 2:02pm
Stephen: You have $11 for this leg of the race.

They found the bus, only to find six people cornering a man.
J.T.: The Amazing Racers turned to gangsters.
Stephen: We're not gonna bother with them...
Yamazaki: Let's sit back, Kentaro.
Kentaro: I agree. This is not worth fighting for.
Adolph: Juanita, let's leave it. He won't change his mind.
Juanita: Okay then. We'll just have to make do this horrible news.
The four other people still wanted to convince the driver.

Seventh To Depart: 2:11pm
Sheena: Let's go, Monica. I know where the station is.

Eighth To Depart: 2:11pm
Aida: A wonderful afternoon in Honduras!!
Alphonse: We're happy we don't have to run around in pitch blackness!
Monica & Sheena and Aida & Alphonse soon found the bus.
Sheena: They seem to be convincing the driver to leave early.
Aida: They've been doing that for the past few minutes?
Sofia: Josh, never mind. It's too late. The teams arrived already.
Josh: We tried our best.
Josh (conf.): The driver was so hard headed. He had good perseverance to not be convinced.
Sofia (conf.): I wouldn't want to mess with him in that field, Josh.
Josephine: They're all here. This is not happening.
Driver: Bye! :res:
Mary-Jean: This guy is too hard to persuade...

Ninth To Depart: 2:30pm
Justin: A new leg, a new opportunity.

Last To Depart: 2:31pm
Jean: Take a bus to the city of Comayagua!
Cecilia: Wohoo! Let's go!
Cecilia (conf.): Even though we're last, we want to stay as positive as we can because negativity will not get us anywhere.
Jean (conf.): As poker players, we want to think we're controlling everything. We're good at figuring things out.
Cecilia: I sense bunching.

Justin & Cathy and Cecilia & Jean arrived.
Jean: Hi guys! Long time no see!
Glorietta: Haha, yah, long time no see.
Cathy: We're all in this together again.
Cathy (conf.): It was a super sweet moment to see all teams in a bus. We're very satisfied.
Justin (conf.): We were hoping this leg would be ours since then!!
At 3pm, the bus departed for Comayagua.

Comayagua Bus Station:
J.T.: We were so happy to depart in the afternoon, just to really start the leg in the evening!!!
Aida: Can anyone take us to La Merced?
Adolph: La Merced!
Justin: La Merced!
Sheena: Does anyone know where La Merced is?
Local: It's five minutes from here.
Arnold: How do you say this properly? La Mer-sad?
Josh: Can you lead us to La Merced?
Local: Okay!
Yamazaki: This is padamonium.
Mary-Jean: Hold on, Josephine! I dropped some money!
Josephine: Please, Mary-Jean. I don't want to suffer our sucky first leg again.

La Merced:
Adolph: This must be the church.
Josh: Quick, Sofia! We can beat 'em!
Adolph: Yup. This is it. Walk to the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception.
Phil: Teams must now walk to this cathedral for their next clue.


Josh: Check this out, Sofia. Caution: Toll Ahead!
Phil: This is a new twist of RealShowFan's The Amazing Race...The Toll. Any team can use the Toll as long as they still have their Courtesy Of photo for such marker. If a team is Tolled, they must reveal on the Toll board how much money they need to give up in order to continue on, but the lack of money can affect the way they race. Any additional dollars not paid will incur a five-minute penalty per dollar at the Pitstop.


Juanita: Looks like a good twist.
Adolph: I don't think we need to use it, though.
Sofia: Now, sir, can you take us to the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception?
Local: Sure.
Adolph: Do you know where the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception is?
Local: Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
Adolph: Hm...
Cathy: Caution: Toll Ahead!!
Justin: That's new...
J.T.: Walk to the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception.
Jean: Caution: Toll Ahead!
Cecilia: Ah! :ascared
Jean: Don't do anything to us ever, we won't do them to you! Please!
J.T.: No worries, ladies.
Cecilia: And let's find the cathedral together. ;D
J.T.: Sure!

Cathedral of Immaculate Conception:
One team found the clue box first.
Sofia: Babe, I see it.
Josh: Very convenient. But we're not Tolling anyone!
Sofia: What do we have here?
Josh: Intriguing.
Sofia: Fast Forward! Enter the cathedral...
Phil: This is the first Fast Forward in the entire race. If a team wins a Fast Forward, they can skip all remaining tasks and head directly to the Pitstop. In this Fast Forward, that team must engage in a local custom. They must participate in the dance of the Little Devils. If the man is content with their performance, they will win the Fast Forward.


Josh: Let's take it!
Sofia: Are you sure? I don't want to take it.
Josh: Why not?
Sofia: We can get the future Fast Forward.
Josh: Okay.
Justin & Cathy and Adolph & Juanita arrived.
Josh: Just read what the other clue says.
Sofia: Roadblock! Who notices the diversity?
Josh: Oh there definitely is a diversity in the crowd here!
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member must perform. In this Roadblock, that team member must find the round table outside the cathedral and search for one of the masks not part of the Little Devils. Once they find it, they'll get their next clue.


Sofia: I'll do it. Maybe I'm the lucky charm in Honduras.
Cathy: We've decided. It's too early to use a new route marker.
Adolph: We're not Tolling anybody for now!
Justin: Oh my god, Fast Forward!
Adolph: Should we take it? Looks like the perfect opportunity!
Juanita: Let's go for it!
Justin: We're going for it!
Cathy: Soldiers for the win!
Sofia searched the table while Justin & Cathy and Adolph & Juanita entered the cathedral to wear their costumes.
Jean: Toll!!! Should we use it?
Cecilia: :snicker: Perhaps...
Jean: Oh wait...Fast Forward!
Cecilia: Ack!! No, we're not going for it!
Stephen: Hell, two teams already went for it.
J.T.: Roadblock! Who notices the diversity?? I do.
Jean: I will do it.
Cecilia: You go, Jean!
Jean: J.T., let's look for it!
J.T.: No prob!

La Merced:
Sheena: The Cathedral of Immaculate Conception.
Aida: Let's go, papa!!
Josephine: Boy...

Fast Forward:
All four people got dressed.
Justin: Firm and festive, Cathy, firm and festive!
Cathy: How can you be firm and festive altogether???
Adolph: We can do this!
Juanita: This reminds me of Halloween...
Cathy: Ohh Adolph & Juanita are doing so well.
Justin: Especially Juanita...
Juanita: Is there even a dance to this?!?

La Merced:
Arnold: Cathedral of Immaculate Conception! Let's go!
Yamazaki: Dammit. We're last right now.
Kentaro: Oh! :ascared

Cathedral of Immaculate Conception:
Sheena: We won't Toll anyone! Next clue says...Fast Forward...Hm...
Aida: We'll take it! :yess:
Alphonse: Uh huh! Let's go!
Josephine: We won't use it and we won't go for it!
Sheena: We need to dance. So we're not doing it. But Aida & Alphonse are, so good luck, guys!
Aida: Thanks! ;D
Monica: And then?
Josephine: Roadblock! Who notices the diversity?
Sheena: I am doing it...This will require more looking than before!
Josephine: I will do the Roadblock.
Mary-Jean: Good luck, Josephine!
Local: Lady! Move, please!!!!
Mary-Jean: Oh! Monica, move over here, take my hand.
Monica: Huh? Oh, thanks.

Fast Forward:
Man: Congratulations! Your performance was outstanding! You have won the Fast Forward!
Justin: YAH!!
Cathy: Truly unbelievable! :wohoo:
Juanita: Oh no, Adolph!! They already won it!
Adolph: Crap!
Aida & Alphonse arrived.
Aida: No, Fast Forward taken. Let's go back!
Juanita: We can tie it up with Aida & Alphonse, at least!
Alphonse: That sucks...
Cathy: Wohoo! Nice job!
Justin: YEAH!! Congratulations! You have won the Fast Forward! Now the man will hand you bicycles so you can make your way to the next Pitstop: Soto Cano Air Base!
Phil: Having won the Fast Forward, Justin & Cathy can now skip all tasks and go directly to the Pitstop! Soto Cano Air Base! This United States military base, whose runway is about 8,000 feet, is the Pitstop for this leg of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.


Cathy: This is awesome!
Man: Here are your bicycles. Good luck.
Cathy: This will be just as easy!
Justin: Yup!!!

Roadblock:
Sofia, Jean, J.T., and Sheena were searching for the masks. Finally, someone found a very obvious non-Little Devil mask.
J.T.: A birthday party hat??? This is not it!!!
Woman: Correct! You have it!
J.T.: Yea! :yess: STEVO I GOT IT!
Stephen: Wow! You should start doing Roadblocks from now on!
J.T.: Detour! Sociable & Brainy or Distant & Speedy!
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams have to go to two different locations to end up in one same destination. Each task requires different abilities. Sociable & Brainy or Distant & Speedy.
In Sociable & Brainy, teams walk to this soccer field depicted on the clue. Once there, they will be given a map in the local language and they must find their next location there, with the clue being only that it is similar to the place they are in. This task is nearer and doesn't require a lot of physical strength, but teams that aren't sociable and can't understand the clue, that their destination is a soccer stadium, could get themselves in deep trouble.

In Distant & Speedy, teams walk a farther distance to Humuya River. Once there, they must go to the marked area and use a net to try to catch a small capsule that is underwater. Once done, their next clue can be read inside it. This task may be a lot farther and thus can waste a lot of time, but at least their next destination is already answered for them if they are quick enough to catch the capsule.

If they do this all correctly. They will realized that they must proceed to Carlos Miranda Stadium. There, they must each score a goal before retrieving their next clue.


J.T.: Which one do you want to do?
Stephen: Distant & Speedy will do.
Sofia: They are so quick.
Sofia (conf.): There were so many stuff on the table!! I could even stand on the table to look! All of us were doing it!

Cathedral of Immaculate Conception:
Juanita: I will be doing the Roadblock.
Aida: Papa's doing it. Good luck, papa!
Alphonse: Thank you, darling! :kuss:
Juanita: Another team arrived!
Arnold: Toll! Should we use it?
Glorietta: I'm so tempted. :ascared
Cecilia: Use it, Glorietta! Kentaro & Yamazaki are stinking a-holes!! They Yielded us for no reason!!!
Arnold: Well, we're just going with our money luck going on.
They stuck a picture of the only team behind them, and also a smaller picture of them in the Courtesy Of box.
Arnold: Sorry! But we're fighting for last right now and we don't want our luck to run out!
Arnold (conf.): We don't know how the Toll will affect the teams since it's new. We were hoping it helped us get out of near last place.
Glorietta: Fast Forward, no. Roadblock. Who notices the diversity?
Arnold: I do. We need to make up the lost time.

Roadblock:
Another person found it.
Woman: Correct! Here is your next clue!
Josephine: Yahoo!! Good luck guys!
Jean: It really must be a birthday hat!!
Sofia: I got it! Yay!
Sheena: Oh no...
Monica: Take your time, Sheena!
Mary-Jean: Good job, Josephine!
Josephine: Detour! Sociable & Brainy or Distant & Speedy!
Josh: We are doing...
Josephine: Sociable & Brainy.
Sofia: Sociable & Brainy.
Kentaro & Yamazaki arrived.
Yamazaki: AY!!! We're Tolled!!!
Kentaro: Now what???
Yamazaki: We need to strip this off.
Kentaro:


Kentaro: 1,889 lempiras?!? No way!
Yamazaki: Just pay it!! We can afford that, we can't afford to lose!
Kentaro: Okay, okay.
Kentaro put 1,889HNL on the deposit.
Yamazaki (conf.): It was really tragic.
Kentaro (conf.): We were Tolled to give up our money. A lot of our money. It is so bad.
Kentaro: We have 1,354HNL left.
Yamazaki: Fast Forward?
Kentaro: No thank you.
Yamazaki: Roadblock. I'll do it.
Kentaro: Good luck!
Yamazaki: Glorietta, you, and your husband will pay for it!
Cecilia: Hey! It's only fair since you Yielded me as well!
Yamazaki: Well...er...ugh!
Cecilia (conf.): It felt good to argue with Yamazaki. :lol: The best part is that I won the fight!!!
Another person found the birthday hat.
Alphonse: Darling, I got it!
Aida: Yay, papa! :hearts:
Alphonse: Detour! Sociable & Brainy or Distant & Speedy.
Aida: I have no time to learn new languages. Distant & Speedy, please!
Jean: Cecilia! I got it!!!
Cecilia: Wohoo!
Jean: We are doing Sociable & Brainy!!!!
Arnold: Honey! I got it!
Glorietta: Great! :hearts:
Juanita: I got one! Yay!
Glorietta: We're doing Distant & Speedy!
Adolph: Sociable & Brainy! You were awesome, Juanita!
Juanita: Thanks. No more Fast Forwards, please.
Monica: Sheena! I am thinking a lot of teams left already!
Sheena: I am trying my best, Monica!
Kentaro: Come on, Yamazaki! We still have hope!
Yamazaki: I know!
Kentaro: You can still beat them!
Monica: We're second to last??!?!! Sheena?
Sheena: Yah! I am trying to find the mask! My leg hurts, though!
Monica: Which one??
Sheena: The non-prosthetic one!
Monica: Oh...
Yamazaki: Hmm...
Yamazaki (conf.): I was confident enough that I could find the mask faster than Sheena. I know I should feel sorry for their disabilities, but it's a game, they should know what's gonna happen.

Soto Cano Air Base-Pitstop:
Cathy: This is it, Justin! I see it!
Justin: Right on!
Cathy: Yay!!

Greeter: Hola!! Welcome to Comayagua, Honduras!!!!
Justin: Yea!! :yess:
Phil: Justin & Cathy, you, are team number..........1!
Cathy: :wohoo:
Justin: From bottom in the first two legs to the top!!!
Phil: As winners for this leg of the race, you have won a Toyota Corolla S3 each!!
Justin: Ooh...car, baby. That's good.
Cathy: I am so happy!
Phil: Happy to get the cars?
Cathy: Yeah. Not just that. Happy to finally get a first! Happy to finally get out of the bottom and emerged as victors!
Phil: Justin, do you think your soldier approach to the game is coming to show?
Justin: Definitely! We always do!! The race is the ultimate World War!
Phil: Well said! :lol:

Roadblock:
Yamazaki: I got it.
Kentaro: :yess:
Sheena: No!
Monica: Try your best, Sheena!
Kentaro: Detour! Sociable & Brainy or Distant & Speedy.
Yamazaki: Distant & Speedy!

Soccer Field:
Mary-Jean: This is a soccer field, right?
Josephine: Probably.
Mary-Jean: There's our map.
Josh: Sofia, here it is! Mary-Jean & Josephine just arrived as well!.
Mary-Jean: Let's get social!
Sofia: Hmm...Look at that sentence. Your destination is familiar with your present location. Hmm...Oh, we must be going to another soccer field.
Josh: Let's get a helpful local.

Roadblock:
Sheena: Got it. I am so sorry, Monica.
Monica: We can do this.
Sheena: Okay...Detour...We're doing Distant & Speedy. I just hope we can catch up. I am scared to death.

Humuya River:
Stephen: There's the marked area.
J.T.: Fishing, fishing. This looks SO familiar!!! :funny:
Stephen: Good time!!!
They quickly tried to find a capsule.

Soccer Field:
Cecilia: Jean, here.
Jean: Okay...I won't spend the rest of my time on that map. Let's get help from men!
Cecilia: Agreed.
Juanita: Let's go, Adolph.
Adolph: Our destination is a soccer field as well.
Juanita: Good assumption.

Carlos Miranda Stadium:
Josephine: Mary-Jean! We got it right! :jumpy:
Mary-Jean: Awesome. This is just too easy. Look at that...'Score a goal to receive your next clue.' Let's go.
They each hit the ball in the net.
Mary-Jean: No problem at all!!
Josephine: Grab marked bicycles and make your way to the next Pitstop: Soto Cano Air Base! Hurry! The last team to check-in may be eliminated.
Mary-Jean: Off we go!

Humuya River:
Alphonse: Nets are so hard to cope with.
Aida: I agree, papa.
Alphonse: It will be difficult.
J.T.: Stevo, here's one!
Stephen: It's so small!
J.T.: Seems so...Says Carlos Miranda Stadium.
Stephen: Then we're heading there.

Soccer Field:
Sheena: Thank you, sir. Right location! Can you help us with this too?
Local: Of course! ;D
Sheena: Hmm...From this sentence I say we're going to another soccer field.
Monica: Ask the man for any soccer field.
Sheena: I was going to. Excuse me, do you know any soccer fields in this map?
Local: Carlos Miranda. I take you there!
Sheena: You take us there, yes, that's great. Let's go, Monica.
Monica: Right behind you all the way, Sheena.

Carlos Miranda Stadium:
J.T.: We need to both score goals.
They did so.
Stephen: Grab marked bicycles and make your way to the next Pitstop!
They hopped into a bicycle.
J.T.: Alright! We're headin' to the Pitstop!!
Josh & Sofia then arrived and were also headed to the Pitstop.
Sofia: Wohoo! A funner transportation for a change!

Humuya River:
Glorietta & Arnold arrived.
Aida: This is really hard, papa.
Alphonse: I know, darling. We just need to get lucky.
Aida: That's it. That's what the Detour should've been called. Distant & Lucky.
Alphonse: Maybe. :lol:
Glorietta: I hate this task already.
Arnold: It's too late to switch. We walked so far.
Three minutes later, Kentaro & Yamazaki arrived.
Kentaro: I hope we still survive the leg after getting Tolled.
Yamazaki: Just start netting. I just want to beat THEM!
Glorietta: :ascared
Arnold (conf.): Kentaro & Yamazaki were getting on our nerves.
Glorietta (conf.): Yeah. I don't see their problem. They were the first one this season to use a special power on someone. Shouldn't they understand it's a game?
Arnold (conf.): They are very annoying. :res:

Carlos Miranda Stadium:
Jean: I found it!
Cecilia: Ahem. WE found it.
Jean: Yeah.
Cecilia & Jean left for the Pitstop.
Adolph & Juanita arrived and they too headed for the Pitstop in bicycles.

Humuya River:
Glorietta: Oh yes, we got it.
Aida: Oh no.
Yamazaki: They already got it.
Arnold: Carlos Miranda Stadium, let's go.

Carlos Miranda Stadium:
Arnold: Kick the goal!! :wohoo:
Glorietta: Our next clue!
Arnold: Pitstop! Soto Cano Air Base!
They left.

Soto Cano Air Base-Pitstop:
Greeter: Hola!!! Welcome to Comayagua, Honduras!! ;D
Mary-Jean & Josephine: Hola!!
Phil: Mary-Jean & Josephine, you, are team number..........................................2!
Josephine: Woah! Really!?!
Phil: Yes!!
Mary-Jean: Oh my god, Josephine! That's awesome!!
Phil: Had a team not won the Fast Forward, you would've been first!
Josephine: But we're just improving a lot!
Mary-Jean: So exciting! :jumpy:

Carlos Miranda Stadium:
Monica & Sheena scored goals, Monica taking longer time, then headed to the Pitstop.
Sheena: This will be hard! I'll guide you!
Monica: This will be a pain. :groan:

Soto Cano Air Base-Pitstop:
Phil: Stephen & J.T., you, are team number 3!
Stephen: Yeah!
J.T.: Finally on a satisfying spot!!
Phil: So you are finally happy!
J.T.: Yes, dude!
Another team then arrived.
Phil: Josh & Sofia, you, are team number......................................4!
Sofia: Oh my god! Why fourth place again??
Phil: Fourth is not good enough to get to the final three.
Sofia: I know. We're so...I don't know what word to use...unchanging...
Phil: Well I hope soon you can change for the better.
A few minutes later, another team arrived.
Greeter: Hola!!! Welcome to Comayagua, Honduras!!
Cecilia: It is so hot right here in Honduras!!!
Jean (sweating): The Roadblock was a deathset.
Phil: Cecilia & Jean, you, are team number..............5!
Cecilia: Yay!
Jean: Now we're satisfied.
A few minutes later...
Adolph: Here it is Juanita...
Juanita tripped.
Juanita: Oh! Ow, that hurts!
Phil: Are you alright?
Juanita: Yeah. Sorry, just a teeny bitty scratch.
Phil: Well, okay then. You need that bandaged still.
Greeter: Hola! Welcome to Comayagua, Honduras!
Phil: Adolph & Juanita, you, are team number 6!
Juanita: Back to sixth.
Phil: You are somewhat in the middle in placings. How do you think you are doing so far?
Adolph: We're doing just fine, Phil. ;D
A few minutes later...
Phil: Glorietta & Arnold, you, are team number................................................................7!
Arnold: Phew!
Glorietta: Yay.
Phil: I heard you used the new race power on a team. That twist was to force them to give up some of their money. How do you think it will affect them?
Glorietta: We are hoping they go out this leg so we don't have to talk it out for them.
Arnold: The Toll could be a pain in the butt, though.
Phil: There WILL be more of these, you know.
Arnold: Oh! But we can't use it now! :ascared
Phil: Do teams know you have an extra 1,000HNL?
Arnold: No. We haven't told them yet.
Glorietta: Why should we? It won't benefit us, it will just be our huge obstacle to overcome.
Phil: But you are still going strong, so keep it up!

Humuya River:
Aida: Papa, here it is! Thank goodness!
Kentaro: Huh?
Yamazaki: Dammit...There's only one now, I think. It will be so hard to find.
Kentaro: We can do it.
Aida: Carlos Miranda Stadium.

Carlos Miranda Stadium:
Aida: Score a goal, papa! Go!
Alphonse: Yay! :funny:
Aida: I did it too!
Alphonse: Grab bicycles and make your way to the next Pitstop!
Aida: Yay!
Alphonse: It says here that it is along Humuya River. Let's go!
Aida: We need to not be last!!!

Soto Cano Air Base-Pitstop:
Monica & Sheena struggled to get out of their bikes.
Monica: Sheena, help?
Sheena: I got you, I got you.
Monica: Whew. That was so tough just to get off the bike!
Greeter: Hola! Welcome to Comayagua, Honduras.
Sheena: We made it, Monica! I hope we're still in it!
Monica: I am so scared...
Phil: Monica & Sheena, you, are team number................................................................8.
Sheena (relief): Eighth, yay...
Monica: Thank goodness.
Phil: You are by far one of the only two teams getting worse consistently, I need to point that out.
Sheena: Oh yeah. We need to step up...
Monica: This game is really hard for us, though.
Sheena: Please excuse us now, Phil. I need to check my leg.
Phil: Go ahead.
Sheena: It's not hurting. There just might be some screws...

Humuya River:
Yamazaki: Here, Kentaro.
Kentaro: Carlos Miranda Stadium. Let's go.
Yamazaki: If we are last, I just hope it's a Non-Elimination Leg.

Carlos Miranda Stadium:
Kentaro & Yamazaki scored a goal each and left for the Pitstop.
Kentaro: Let's bike our fastest ever!
Yamazaki: Agree!

Soto Cano Air Base-Pitstop:
Another team arrived.
Alphonse: Wish us luck, darling.
Aida: Yes, papa.
Phil: Aida & Alphonse, you, are team number......................................................................................9!
Aida: Oh, holy kamolee. That was way too close.
Alphonse: We're not eliminated! Yay! :jumpy:
Phil: However, you are one of the only two teams that are getting worse leg by leg. And if it continues, you might as well have a very good chance of getting the boot next.
Aida: Yah, papa, we need to work like in leg 1.
Alphonse: This old man's already been through a lot.
Phil: Honestly, you've only been to two continents, they are only the Americas, and only two countries.
Alphonse: Oh...
Aida: I hope we are going to somewhere cold next leg! I wanna go to Greenland!!! :lol:
Long minutes later, the final team arrived...
Kentaro: That was fun...
Yamazaki: Wow. Look at that military base. So...wow...
Greeter: Hola! Welcome to Comayagua, Honduras!
Kentaro: Thanks.
Phil: Kentaro & Yamazaki, you, are team number...................................................................10. I am sorry, but you are the last team to arrive.
Yamazaki: Aww...
Kentaro: Wow...Shocking...
Phil: I am sorry to say.....................................that you have been eliminated from the race.
Kentaro: Hmm...
Yamazaki: Oh well. We tried the best we could.
Phil: Had you not been Tolled, do you think you could've not be in last?
Yamazaki: We don't know. But we finished with little money left. That just sucks. :duno:
Kentaro: Glorietta & Arnold made a wrong move.
Phil: By the way, you definitely made your kids and wives proud.
Yamazaki: We know.

Yamazaki (conf.): Bittersweet moment for our elimination.
Kentaro (conf.): We're proud of ourselves, though. We tried our very best, so we should have no regrets.
Yamazaki (conf.): Not really. I used barely any effort and still we um...made it third last. I am still proud that we raced this, though! But hopefully we have proven to our wives that we are great for them. ;D
Kentaro (conf.): Yup!
Yamazaki (conf.): I hope any team BUT Cecilia & Jean, Justin & Cathy, and Glorietta & Arnold, ESPECIALLY GLORIETTA & ARNOLD, will win the race.

Episode 4 - Patience Is Not A Virtue In This Race! It's A Sin!

Previously on RealShowFan's The Amazing Race 2...The ten remaining teams set off to the city of Comayagua.
Jean: Take a bus to the city of Comayagua!
Adolph: We are staying in Honduras!!!!
The frontrunner teams struggled convincing the bus driver, failing to surge further ahead, and all teams were at equal ground.
Mary-Jean: Come on, guys! Let's try to convince them to leave NOW!!!
Cathy: We're all in this together again.
Justin & Cathy danced their way to the win due to a Fast Forward.
Justin: YAH!!
Juanita: Is there even a dance to this?!?
Teams experienced a new twist in Amazing Race history, the Toll. Cecilia convinced newlyweds Glorietta & Arnold to put it to use against last place team Kentaro & Yamazaki.
Cecilia: Use it, Glorietta!
Glorietta: I'm so tempted.
In result, the Tolled team had to forgone more than half of their money.
Kentaro: 1,889 lempiras?!?
Yamazaki: Glorietta, you, and your husband will pay for it!
Teams searched for a birthday hat in the Roadblock.
J.T.: A birthday party hat??? This is not it!!!
Glorietta & Arnold, AIda & Alphonse, and Kentaro & Yamazaki fought for last at the Detour.
Aida: This is really hard, papa.
Glorietta: I hate this task already.
Yamazaki: I just want to beat THEM!
While Monica & Sheena struggled just to ride bikes.
Monica: Sheena, help?
Sheena: I got you, I got you.
But in the end, Kentaro & Yamazaki were the one cut adrift from the race.
Phil: You have been eliminated from the race.
Yamazaki: We tried the best we could.
NINE TEAMS REMAIN!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT???

Phil: This is Comayagua, eighty kilometres of the capital, it has wealthy Spanish Colonial architecture. And at the border of the city, Soto Cano Air Base. Formerly known as Palmerola Air Base, it houses the Honduran Air Force Academy, and now, is held as the third 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 the other teams. Can Justin & Cathy maintain their lead, being thirty minutes ahead of the second team? Can teams from behind catch up to the frontrunners? Justin & Cathy, who were the first to arrive at 5:28pm, will depart at 5:28am.

First To Depart: 5:28am
Justin: You have all been assigned into one of three buses back to Tegucigalpa. You must then fly to Luque, Paraguay, where famed footballer Jose Luis Chilavert was born.
Phil: Teams must now fly to Luque, Paraguay.

Once there, they must find Nu Guazu Park for their next clue.


Justin: Great. Looks like we will meet the other teams again.
Cathy: It's only three teams though.
Cathy (conf.): We are proud to win the last leg. At least we are not getting beaten by some other couples totally.
Justin (conf.): We hope to keep this momentum going and keep the lead we have.
They boarded the first bus and waited.

Second To Depart: 5:55am
Mary-Jean: Luque, Paraguay...
Josephine: We're on the same boat as Justin & Cathy!
Mary-Jean: Well, technically, it's a bus.
Mary-Jean (conf.): We were very shocked to be second. It took us by surprise.
Josephine (conf.): We think it's our no-worry personalities. I want to keep this character going. ;D
Mary-Jean: Hi guys!
Cathy: We're together again!
Mary-Jean: One more team and that is definitely Stephen & J.T., Josh & Sofia two minutes later.
Josephine: Now they will surely regret being cursed at fourth place.

Third To Depart: 5:57am
J.T.: You have all been assigned into one of three buses back to Tegucigalpa.
Stephen: Gosh, we're going to Paraguay! :yess:

Fourth To Depart: 5:59am
Sofia: You have $4 for this leg of the race!
Josh: Dangit, we just missed the first bus!

J.T.: We are sorry, y'all, but like they say, first come first served.
The first bus carrying Justin & Cathy, Mary-Jean & Josephine, and Stephen & J.T. left for Toncontin International Airport, Tegucigalpa.
Stephen: We are the front pack!
Cathy: We rock! :yess:
Stephen (conf.): Our best place yet, we are so happy.
J.T. (conf.): We are so used to these less populated cities, even COUNTRIES, that we are going to as the Brazilian Highlands is a lot, and heck A LOT less populated than all that!
Stephen (conf.): It's unfortunate Glorietta & Arnold used the Toll. I want to try it out.
J.T. (conf.): Some other teams here are just more cutthroat than we are!!
Stephen (conf.): Yea. I want no one to be as devilish as me in this game. :snicker:

Fifth To Depart: 6:04am
Jean: You have $4 for this leg of the race.
Cecilia: Yay, Jean!
Cecilia (conf.): We're satisfied we've came this far. I think we will do better than Maria & Tiffany.
Jean (conf.): I wonder where they are now?
Cecilia (conf.): They were in Asia and I think from spoilers I read they went to Europe. I really hope we go to Europe, especially SWEDEN, as I was born there!
Jean (conf.): But right now we are just in South America, and not even that far from U.S.!
They boarded the second bus.

Jean: Hey guys. How's it going?
Sofia: Fine, fine.
Sofia (conf.): I don't like Cecilia & Jean at all. They just don't click with us.
Josh (conf.): Yah. I don't know what they think about us. We are just not used to their 'living the high life' personality.
Sofia (conf.): We just dislike the 'high' part of the phrase.
Cecilia: Just one more team, Adolph & Juanita.

Sixth To Depart: 6:07am
Juanita: Last team on second bus! Phew!

Seventh To Depart: 6:09am
Arnold: We missed the second bus by two minutes! Drats!
Glorietta: We are fighting for last now!!!!
Glorietta (conf.): I am a bit on the karma side, I hope we don't get karma attacked.
Arnold (conf.): I believe in karma too. But Kentaro & Yamazaki are gone, and we don't put affect on the other teams, I don't think.
Glorietta (conf.): I hope not too!

Adolph: Bye guys!
Glorietta: Good luck to us!
Juanita: Okay! Good luck!!! :tup:
The second bus departed.
Cecilia: Adolph, you were born in Sweden, right?
Adolph: Yes, why?
Cecilia: Cool! I was born in Sweden too!
Adolph: Shut up! No way! Why do I only know now?
Cecilia: 'Cause I didn't know you were from Sweden!
Adolph: Well you do now! Nice to know that from you! :tup:
Cecilia: Welcome!
Cecilia (conf.): I can reveal as much information as I like as long as they benefit me. Screw the fact that I will announce that I am a poker player that earns money for a living!
Jean (conf.): She was born in Sweden, that's true, though.
Cecilia (conf.): We will try to use the teams as much as we can. I convinced Glorietta to use the Toll last leg to help take my revenge, didn't I? :snicker:
Adolph (conf.): Cecilia & Jean look like a decent team, don't they?
Juanita (conf.): I agree. They are so nice to talk to.

Eighth To Depart: 6:19am
Sheena: Luque, Paraguay. :wohoo:
Monica: Hopes we reach there before nighttime.
They boarded the last bus.

Last To Depart: 6:28am
Aida: Let's go, papa.
Aida (conf.): We aren't happy with our performance last leg. I don't want to go.
Alphonse (conf.): We will overcome this leg though, you watch.
They too, boarded the last bus, and the last bus left for Toncontin International Airport.

Toncontin International Airport:
The first bus arrived at the airport.
J.T.: Stevo, here, let's go!
Justin: We cannot go to the travel agency because we are at the airport already.
Josephine: We are all heading to the Internet service area.

Internet Service Area:
The three teams searched for flights. Two teams were satisfied of their flight and headed.
Stephen: Let's go, J.T.
Justin: We are getting that flight!
Josephine: Just keep searching...

TACA Counter:
J.T.: Excuse me, we want two tickets to Luque? The earliest flight out?
Counter worker: Okay...The first flight departs 8:45am, and arrives 2am tomorrow.
Stephen: We have nothing to lose. Two tickets!
Stephen & J.T. and Justin & Cathy got their tickets.
Cathy: How many seats?
Counter worker: Paraguay is not very populous and there are a lot more seats left.
Justin: I think we are all bunched! (:
Cathy: This is even worse than the bus.
The second bus arrived, they all saw Justin & Cathy.
Cathy: TACA...
Adolph: Woah...
Cecilia: Thank you, Cathy!!!
Cathy: Don't mention it!
Cecilia & Jean, Adolph & Juanita, and Josh & Sofia successfully got their tickets. A few minutes later, Mary-Jean & Josephine went to TACA Counter.
Mary-Jean: Can we have two tickets to Luque at 2am, please?
Counter worker: I can arrange that...there you go.
Mary-Jean: 2am, that's when it all starts...again...
At 8:27am, the final three teams arrived and they all headed to the Internet service area. Two teams decided to get the tickets first.
Alphonse: Two tickets to Luque?
Sheena: Can you buy for us too?
Aida: Make that four!
Counter worker: Okay...There you go!
Aida: Please tell me all the other teams are on this flight.
Sheena: Thank you, Aida & Alphonse.
Aida: Come on, papa, let's rest.
Minutes later, Glorietta & Arnold arrived at the counter.
Counter worker: Sorry, the plane is leaving.
Arnold: What? No! Can you take us to that flight?
Counter worker: I am very sorry, but I can't.
Glorietta: Come on, madam! We cannot miss this flight! Please, madam! Por favor!
Counter worker: Realmente lo siento, pero realmente no puedo.
Glorietta: Estamos desesperados! Por favor, señorita!
Counter worker: El vuelo se va, se alejan.
Arnold: We will run there!!
Glorietta: Yes!! Sí! Vamos a correr! Corremos rápido!
Counter worker: Really?
Glorietta: Sí!!!!
Counter worker: Okay...You have less than a minute. Go.
Glorietta: Thank you, madam! I am forever in your debt!
Arnold: No time to waste, let's run!
They ran and ran as fast as they can.

In the plane:
Josh: I think Glorietta & Arnold won't make it!!
Stephen: At least there's one team way behind us!
Aida: Close...Leave...
It closed..................But then the door opened again.
Glorietta: Oh crap!
Steward: Woah! You are way too late! Be early next time!!! Tickets??
Arnold: Here!
Steward: Great! Now enjoy the flight!
Glorietta: Oh my gosh, that was so scary and exasperating!
Arnold: Good job speaking Spanish, Glorietta!
Glorietta (conf.): I came from a Spanish family and I used to live in Spain. That helped me with the language barrier in Honduras. A lot of them speak Spanish.
Arnold (conf.): I wish people in Paraguay speak Spanish! :lol:
Glorietta (conf.): I only use that intense tone during those kinds of situations.

Phil: All teams are now on one flight to Luque, Paraguay.

Silvio Pettirossi Airport:
Order of finding their cars were...Aida & Alphonse...Cecilia & Jean...Justin & Cathy...Stephen & J.T....Glorietta & Arnold...Adolph & Juanita...Josh & Sofia...Monica & Sheena...and Mary-Jean & Josephine.
Mary-Jean: Come on, stupid car! Start!!!
Josephine: Quick, Mary-Jean!!
Mary-Jean: I can't! It won't start!! What's the matter with this? Go ask someone, quick!!!
Josephine: Okay! Sir!! Can you help us with car problems? Please!
Local: Ha? Oh?
Mary-Jean: I don't know how to start it!
Local:
Mary-Jean: The car! How do you make me drive it??
She kept gesturing things. The man finally understood and helped her start it.
Mary-Jean: Thank you!!
Josephine: Why are we having such bad luck everytime we leave the airport???
Mary-Jean: It is so annoying...
Mary-Jean (conf.): At that point we were way behind. It was a scary moment. It was all in that car. :groan:

Nu Guazu Park:
Aida: Here we are.
Alphonse: There's our clue!
Aida: So many warplanes. :colors Like I care!
Alphonse: We are against war! :res:
Aida: Yah, basically this is all rubbish for us.
Cecilia: Here it is, Jean!
Justin: We gotta beat the others.
Stephen: Clue!
J.T.: Drive to the CONMEBOL Headquarters for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now go to this football site for their next clue.


Cecilia: I see it on the map! Let's go!
Alphonse: Now darling, let's follow them for a while!
Every other team followed suit.
Sofia: Come on, Josh!
Sheena: Run, Monica! For all I know, we are in the last group of teams!
Monica: Okay! I'm running!
Josh: Outdrive Sheena, Sofia!
Sofia: I'll try!
Sheena: Oh my gosh...
Sofia: Sheena's blocking my way!
Josh: Get around her!
Sheena: How do you steer this???
THUMP!!!!!
Sofia: Agh!! What happened??!
Monica: Sheena??? What happened??
Sheena: Ugh...I don't know...
Josh: Our cars collided and crashed!
Sofia: Oh no! :ascared
Sheena: We need to wait for a replacement car. I am so sorry, Monica.
Phil: In case of a non-working vehicle, teams may wait to get a new one. However, no time credit will be given for this unlucky situation.
Sofia: This sucks so much...
Sofia (conf.): It was all Sheena's fault. I think she blocked my path on purpose just so she wouldn't be last.
Josh (conf.): And because of her we had to suffer as well.
Sheena (conf.): I really don't know how it happened. I couldn't steer the wheel well. The car was so...used up. I hated it.
Sheena: Oh my god...I am terribly sorry...
Sofia: :res:
Josh: Just be grateful it is 2am!
Sheena: I know. You can't blame me entirely though. It was dark, the car's useless...
Monica: Hmm...Now we also have a disabled car.

CONMEBOL Headquarters:
One team arrived at the area first.
Alphonse: There's the clue box! Right in front of the tall structure with a ball on top!
Aida: Drive to the National Panthenon of the Heroes in the capital and largest city of Paraguay.
Phil: Teams must now drive to the National Panthenon of the Heroes, a national monument of Paraguay in the capital city of Asuncion, where the guard will hand them their next clue.


In the next two minutes, five other teams headed to the National Panthenon of the Heroes. In order were...Cecilia & Jean, Justin & Cathy, Stephen & J.T., Glorietta & Arnold, and Adolph & Juanita.
Juanita: Why aren't there any teams behind us? I really thought I saw Josh & Sofia behind us.
Adolph: In that case, we better go faster.

Nu Guazu Park:
Mary-Jean: Josephine, it looks like there has been a car crash!!
Josephine: The producers probably took the cars off the road.
Mary-Jean: CONMEBOL Headquarters.
Josephine: Let's hit it! It's on the map!
Mary-Jean: At least we passed two teams! :yess:
Josh: Dammit! The last team passed us!!!
Sofia (conf.): It was really unfair that we suffered a situation like that. We were held back because Sheena couldn't steer her car well and it hit our car.
Josh (conf.): We were very unfortunate and we did nothing to deserve that.

CONMEBOL Headquarters:
Josephine: We now need to go to the National Panthenon of the Heroes.
Mary-Jean: How joyous.
At this time, the two teams' new cars arrived and they headed. A few minutes later...
Sofia: We are here.
Josh: Thank goodness...National Panthenon of the Heroes.
Sofia: Let's go!
Sheena: Monica, we're last! Oh no! :ascared
Monica: I can't do anything, Sheena...

National Panthenon of the Heroes:
Two teams found the next clue.
Aida: Detour! Jumbo Prune...
Stephen: Or Mega Pursue?
Phil: A Detour is a choise between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams have to choose between Jumbo Prune, or Mega Pursue.
In Jumbo Prune, teams must find the Lopez Presidential Palace on foot and lawn-mow a part of a lawn. The problem, they'll be using only trimming scissors. Once done and convinced by the woman judging them, they'll be given their next clue. This task may take a long time and it may be a hard task to do under the heat in pitch darkness, but teams with the perseverance and swiftness, will have a chance to gain a mega lead.

In Mega Pursue, teams must find the post office on foot and search the pile of Amazing Race clue envelopes for the one with their next clue in it. Although this task won't extract much more energy, teams without the luck and patience, could be in for a devastating jumbo surprise.


Alphonse: Let's do something different and go with Jumbo Prune.
Aida: Okay!
J.T.: Jumbo Prune?
Stephen: Sure! It might be a three minute walk.
Three more teams arrived.
Jean: Detour! Jumbo Prune or Mega Pursue!
Arnold: Jumbo Prune! We can stand the heat and the darkness!
Jean: We are doing...Mega Pursue! No way are we doing Jumbo Prune.
Cathy: In that case, we are with you.
Jean: Thanks, allies.
Jean (conf.): We accept Justin & Cathy to be our allies because we can use them. Being soldiers, they are surprisingly not the smartest team. :snicker: In fact, they're one of the dumbest.
Cecilia (conf.): But we work well with them, so we will keep it that way for now.
Juanita: Detour! Jumbo Prune or Mega Pursue!
Adolph: What do you think?
Juanita: Let's just do...Jumbo Prune.

Jumbo Prune:
Aida: Here we are.
Gardener: Your area...there. Good luck.
Alphonse: Thanks!
Aida: Gosh. I hope we can pull through this!
Alphonse: Positivity, darling.
J.T.: Let's go, Stevo!
Glorietta: Oh wow. This is where all the trees went!! How selfish are these people!
Gardener: There is your area. Good luck.
Arnold: Let's do this fast.
Glorietta: This ain't bad...
Two minutes later...
Adolph: This is a toughie.
Juanita: We can do this, Adolph, if they will be able to.

Mega Pursue:
Jean: We're here.
Justin: Good.
Cecilia: WOAH!
Cathy: Woah...No way, are you kidding me???
Justin: I think Jumbo Prune will be easier.
Cecilia: For you guys. We are sticking to this.
Cecilia (conf.): Luck is kind of our specialty so we were very fine with our Detour choice. We could care less if Justin & Cathy switched or not because we know we will finish before them and so we know we aren't last.
Cathy (conf.): There were too many envelopes for our comfort and we just couldn't stand that much. My gosh, worse than finding a needle in a haystack!
Cathy: Girls, we're switching. We're sorry.
Jean: Okay. See you!
Justin: Good luck! Literally!!!
Cecilia: Oh, yah, we definitely are the lucky ones. :funny:
Jean: Let's start looking.

Jumbo Prune:
Stephen: Oh why are we situated in between two other teams?
J.T.: It's getting a bit too crowded.
Stephen: We need to clean our scissors again. Such...a...drag...
Aida: Careful, guys!
Stephen: Sorry! Let me move, though!!
Stephen pushed Glorietta.
Glorietta: AHH!!! What was that for???
Arnold: Honey! What happened?
Glorietta: He pushed me!!
Stephen: You should've seen it comin'! You weren't giving me any space!
Glorietta: There is only one tap, Stephen! Okay? Please, be patient!
Stephen: Patience is not a virtue in this race! It's a sin!
Glorietta: No, YOU are the sin!
J.T.: Now, cut it out.
Glorietta: Apologize.
Stephen: Okay! Fine then, sorry! Sheesh! You are just irritating.
Glorietta: Pft.
Stephen: The most irritating midget I've ever known.
Glorietta (conf.): Stephen is so rude and arrogant! Attitude like that shouldn't be in the race!
Arnold (conf.): I hated when he called us midgets!!
Glorietta (conf.): Ruining our honeymoon.
Arnold (conf.): Karma will bite him back. Feel sorry for J.T., but a team gets punished together no matter what.
Stephen (conf.): We were completely at race time and no one can take their time in anything!! Glorietta was as slow as a snail and she was wasting our time!
J.T. (conf.): I really don't know what to say. I didn't see the whole thing happen.
Stephen (conf.): It's karma biting them up because they used the Toll. I say that's an omen. I will have my revenge... :snicker:
Justin & Cathy arrived.
Cathy: Let's start.
Justin: I think we can catch up real quick.
Cathy: Well then let's begin!

National Panthenon of the Heroes:
Mary-Jean: Detour! Jumbo Prune or Mega Pursue!
Josephine: Let's do...Mega Pursue.
Mary-Jean: I am fine with that.
Sofia: Jumbo Prune or Mega Pursue?
Josh: Jumbo Prune, so our fate lies in our own hands.
Sofia: Good idea!
Sheena: We are doing Mega Pursue since that requires less work.
Monica: And eyesight...

Mega Pursue:
Cecilia: I found it, Jean!
Jean: I found one!
Cecilia: Oh?? Oh my gosh! :funny:
Jean: Wow! What a coincidence! :funny:
Cecilia: Drive to the next Pitstop! Manzana de la Rivera! Hurry! The last team to arrive will be eliminated!
Phil: Manzana de la Rivera was transformed into a museum, library, theatre, and cafe complex and is an important addition to the Paraguayan society. This antique city block, a national symbol of the country, is the next Pitstop of the race. The last team to check-in here WILL be eliminated.


Cecilia: Woah! The last team to arrive WILL be eliminated!
Jean: That...wow...We're the only one here.
Mary-Jean & Josephine arrived.
Jean: No, we're not!
Cecilia: Girls, you will wanna do this fast because it says here the last team to arrive WILL be eliminated!
Mary-Jean: Oh my gosh, really?? :ascared
Jean: No wait! If we give you another clue we found, will you promise to repay us?
Josephine: You think you can do that now?
Jean: Yes, we found two.
Josephine: Oh my gosh. YES! We will do whatever you want later on!!!!!!
Mary-Jean: Just what do you want??
Cecilia: We want you to Yield or U-Turn or apparently Toll um...Josh & Sofia if they survive that leg, okay?
Mary-Jean: Why? Do you hate them?
Jean: They are threatening.
Josephine: OKAY! Deal!!
Jean: There you go!!
Josephine: Thanks, girls!! :kuss:
Josephine (conf.): We owe Cecilia & Jean our life. They saved us. We should really be grateful.
Mary-Jean (conf.): Yah.
Cecilia: Welcome. Let's go!
Cecilia (conf.): We pretty much have everyone around our necks!!! We have Mary-Jean & Josephine owing us a favor, we know it is easy to convince Glorietta to do something, we have a so called alliance with Justin & Cathy, we got Stephen & J.T.'s trust, we bonded with Adolph of Adolph & What's-her-name-nita, and we bonded with Aida & her papa. The only teams we don't want to talk to are Josh & Sofia because they are too good souls, and Monica & Sheena because they are hard to communicate with.
Jean (conf.): We really bring out the social ability to its best! ;D
Cecilia (conf.): :snicker:
The two teams reunited with their cars and drove off.

Jumbo Prune:
One team completed the task.
Gardener: Good job! Here is your clue!
Aida: Thanks, woman!
Alphonse: Drive to the next Pitstop!
Josh & Sofia arrived.
Josh: Aida & Alphonse were the first. We can actually catch up!
Sofia: I really do hope so!!!

Manzana de la Rivera-Pitstop:
Josephine: That is the building right there.
Mary-Jean: :yess:
Cecilia: We're off.
Jean: I don't know if we're last!
Josephine: Should we let Cecilia & Jean ahead of us? We owe them...
Mary-Jean: Are you kidding me? That's not part of the deal.
Both teams raced. One reached Pitstop first.

Greeter: Maitei, welcome to Asuncion, Paraguay.
Cecilia (panting): Thank you.
Mary-Jean (panting): That was a fun run, actually.
Jean (panting): I guess so...
Phil: Cecilia & Jean, you, are team number.............................................................................................1!
Cecilia: OH MY GOSH!! WOW!
Mary-Jean: WOAH!!! Really?
Josephine: That is unbelievable! Congrats, girls!!!
Jean: YES!! We won something!!!
Phil: As winners of this leg of the race, you have won a trip for two from Travelocity to...........Montreal, Canada!!
Cecilia: Wow...
Phil: You will enjoy the classic luxury in the Loews Hotel Vogue, served with fine dining and service, you will enjoy numerous activities such as skiing, snowboarding, ice hockey, sightseeing, snowman building, and more! Congratulations!!
Jean: :tup: Sounds good!
Phil: Mary-Jean & Josephine, you, are team number 2! Very good! Good job!
Mary-Jean: From supposedly last to first!!!
Josephine: We owe all our thanks to these fine women here. They helped us at the Detour!
Phil: So am I sensing some female-female team alliance going on? It may help bring out another female-female winner of the RTAR series!
Cecilia: Maybe.
Another team arrived then.
Greeter: Maitei, welcome to Asuncion, Paraguay.
Aida: Thank you. Fingers crossed, papa. ;D
Phil: Aida & Alphonse, you, are team number...............................................................3!
Aida: Oh, phew!!
Alphonse: We are still going strong!!
Phil: I had misjudged you. Congratulations! Keep it up!!
Aida: We will. Nice job, papa! :kuss:

Mega Pursue:
Sheena: Oh...This is a lot of envelopes.
Monica: Is it? How will I check?
Sheena: I don't know. My suggestion is to just grab one random one and feel its contents.
Monica: Okay. Let's do this...

Jumbo Prune:
Glorietta: Okay! Check ours!
Stephen: J.T.! Let's go check!
Arnold: No, we're first!
J.T.: Hey! Quit pushing!
Gardener: Both of yours are okay! Here are your clues!!
Stephen: Thanks!
Glorietta: Pitstop!
Stephen: Warning! The last team to arrive WILL be eliminated!
Glorietta: Dang it!
The other teams continued to struggle for a long time.
Sofia: My back's cramping.
Juanita: No time to lose now, Adolph, we have to keep going.
Justin: We are almost done! Just a bit more!
Cathy: That's nice, Justin, too bad you're talking about your side of the lawn only!!!
Justin: No way!!

Manzana de la Rivera-Pitstop:
Glorietta & Arnold and Stephen & J.T. both charged for Phil, with an apparent winner.
Greeter: Maitei, welcome to Asuncion, Paraguay.
Phil: Stephen & J.T., you, are team number................4.
Stephen: Woo!
Phil: Glorietta & Arnold, you, are team number 5.
Arnold: Good enough.
Phil: Now I am sensing some competition. Is it friendly racing competition?
Stephen: No, Phil. It isn't competition, it is war.
Phil: War?
Glorietta: I don't want to talk about it. We are not boastful that way.
Stephen: Hey! Idiots...

Jumbo Prune:
One team completed the Detour.
Gardener: Here is your clue.
Juanita: Thank you very much.
Adolph: Drive to the next Pitstop. Manzana de la Rivera...
Juanita: Let's jog all the way back to our car.
Sofia: Dammit...
Cathy: I cannot believe it, from first to near last...
Justin: This just doesn't feel right.

Mega Pursue:
Monica: Any luck?
Sheena: No. But I think I got a paper cut.
Monica: This is so frustrating.
Sheena: Keep looking.

Manzana de la Rivera-Pitstop:
Phil: Adolph & Juanita, you, are team number 6. ;D
Adolph: We'll take it. ;D

Jumbo Prune:
Gardener: Great job. Here is your clue.
Justin: Nice. :jam
Cathy: Pitstop.
Sofia: Crap. This is it.
Josh: We are doomed...because of a pair of scissors.

Manzana de la Rivera-Pitstop:
Greeter: Maitei.
Cathy: Maitei?
Phil: Justin & Cathy, you, are team number.........................................7.
Justin: Oh no.
Phil: Apparently you couldn't keep up your lead and are now at the bottom once again.
Cathy: What is wrong with us?
The final two teams are battling out for last place!!!

Mega Pursue:
Monica: I may have missed some clues because really, it's hard to feel the inside.
Sheena: Just try your best, Monica, we can pull through this. I am very sure there is at least one team stuck at the other Detour.

Jumbo Prune:
Josh: This task is crap.
Sofia: I agree...Should've done the luck task.
Josh: Let's not give up, Sofia. Just remember, I love you no matter what.
Sofia: I love you too. ;D
Gardener: Seems okay.
Josh: It's okay? Is it?
Gardener: Yes.
Sofia: Finally. We're probably out though.
Josh: At least we had our fun being in fourth place three times in a row...Pitstop.
Sofia: I forgot where our car is.
Josh: Me too. :groan:
They took some time to find their car.

Mega Pursue:
Monica: Sheena, is this it?
Sheena: Oh my gosh. Yes, Monica, it is! Great job, girl!
Monica: Thanks.
Sheena: I hope some other team is still stuck, because we have to go to the Pitstop now! And it is a definite Elimination Leg!
Monica:
Sheena:

Manzana de la Rivera-Pitstop:
The two teams are shown driving to their next Pitstop, Manzana de la Rivera, in hopes of surviving the leg...One team then stepped onto the mat.
Phil: You guys look tired.
Greeter: Maitei, welcome to Asuncion, Paraguay.
Sofia: Thank you.
Phil: Josh & Sofia, you, are team number...8!
Sofia: Eight? So...we're-we're...
Phil: You're still in the race.
Josh: WOO!!! :wohoo:
Sofia: Oh my god! Thank you, Phil! Thank you! We are still in it!
Phil: You guys took your time this leg. Were you doing that in hopes of exiting the fourth place curse?
Sofia: No.
Josh: The sisters crashed their car into ours. Well, maybe we did.
Sofia: No, we didn't, they did it. I was just going across their car and then suddenly, BANG, pow, our cars died.
Phil: Well that definitely is a hindrance.
Sofia: Yes!! See how far it got us down to!
Josh: We can only think they are last.
Nine minutes later...
Sheena: Here we are, Monica.
Monica: I am so nervous.
Greeter: Maitei, welcome to Asuncion, Paraguay.
Phil: Monica & Sheena, you, are team number................................................................9.
Sheena: Oh. :ascared
Monica: No.
Phil: And as the clue stated, you have been eliminated from the race.
Monica: How disappointing.
Phil: Your sister really wants to be here, doesn't she?
Sheena: She does. She tries real hard. For us to be eliminated this early, hm.
Phil: How much do you think your bond has strengthened, Monica?
Monica: I think, for the most part, we have become more reunited than ever. We are already very reunited as Sheena has helped me in my obstacles, but this race has showed us that there are still more things to do together.
Phil: I'm glad you enjoy your journey, you have been one surprisingly tough team.
Sheena: We're glad to have the opportunity.

Sheena (conf.): This has been a very exciting race. I enjoy it SO MUCH, I'm willing to go back for more.
Monica (conf.): Being the first blind or partially blind person to be in the race EVER in history, I should be proud of myself and to make it this far just proves that with my sister as my eyes, I am capable of a lot of things.
Sheena (conf.): We will carry this experience onto our relatives and friends.
Monica (conf.): And of course, this race has changed our lives, especially mine.
Sheena (conf.): I love you, sis.
Monica (conf.): I love you too.

*End of Episode 4: Patience Is Not A Virtue In This Race! It's A Sin! - Stephen*

[realshowfan]

Episode 5 - One Word To Describe It All...Cool.

Previously on RealShowFan's The Amazing Race 2...The nine remaining teams flew to Paraguay.
Sheena: Luque, Paraguay.
Justin: Looks like we will meet the other teams again.
Teams were on equal ground once again.
Justin: I think we are all bunched!
With Glorietta & Arnold struggling the most with a counter worker.
Glorietta: Please, madam! Por favor!
Counter worker: Realmente lo siento, pero realmente no puedo.
Arnold: We will run there!!
Glorietta: Corremos rápido!
Cecilia and Adolph bonded.
Cecilia: Adolph, you were born in Sweden, right?
Adolph: Yes, why?
Cecilia: Cool! I was born in Sweden too!
Adolph: Shut up! No way!
Cecilia (conf.): I can reveal as much information as I like as long as they benefit me.
While in Luque, for the first time, Sheena's prosthetic leg and lack of driving skills became a burden, to her team and to another.
Monica: Sheena??? What happened??
Josh: Our cars collided and crashed!
Sofia (conf.): It was all Sheena's fault.
Sheena: You can't blame me entirely though. It was dark, the car's useless...
Stephen and Glorietta argued over a seemingly hard and intentional push at the lawn-trimming Detour.
Glorietta: He pushed me!!
Stephen: You should've seen it comin'! You weren't giving me any space!
Glorietta: Apologize.
Stephen: The most irritating midget I've ever known.
While Cecilia & Jean made more friends in the other Detour.
Jean: If we give you another clue we found, will you promise to repay us?
Josephine: We will do whatever you want later on!!!!!!
In the end, Cecilia & Jean claimed a narrow victory.
Jean: YES!! We won something!!!
Monica & Sheena's disabilities became too much of a hindrance to them, resulting to their elimination.
Monica: No.
Phil: And as the clue stated, you have been eliminated from the race.
EIGHT TEAMS REMAIN!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT???

Phil: This is Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay. Known as the poorest capital city in the world, it holds some of the oldest buildings in the world. And deep in the heart of the city, Manzana de la Rivera. This group of buildings rich in activities is the fourth 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 the other teams. Will the friendships poker players Cecilia & Jean made continue, or will the girls start using their so called friends? Will Stephen and Glorietta's hate for each other subdue, or will one of them enforce the new twist coming up in the race against their enemy? Can Josh & Sofia catch up, being thirty minutes behind the team before them? Cecilia & Jean, who were the first to arrive at 2:41am, will depart at 2:41pm.

First To Depart: 2:41pm
Jean: Fly to Mount Pleasant Airport in Falkland Islands and board a shuttle bus to the capital of Falkland Islands, Stanley.

Second To Depart: 2:41pm
Josephine: Once there, find the Philatelic Bureau and search the shop for a stamp that depicts a race clue envelope for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now fly to the small island territory of Falkland Islands and take a bus to Stanley.

Then, they must find this store and search amongst the millions of stamps for the one that shows the race clue envelope for their next clue.


Jean: You have $0 for this leg of the race. Let's go.
Cecilia: I wonder what is the currency of the area.
Jean: Hey girls, our map was with Justin & Cathy, and it still is. So can we work together to get to the airport?
Mary-Jean: Sure! But I am more thinking of the travel agency. It's here, on the map.
Cecilia: Well then the travel agency it is!

Third To Depart: 2:42pm
Alphonse: Falkland Islands? Never heard.
Aida: To Silvio Pettirossi Airport!

Travel Agency:
Travel Agent: Good afternoon?
Mary-Jean: We want to fly to Falkland Islands.
Travel Agent: Oh? Why? Come explore this country more while you can!
Cecilia: We've already done that. It's a nice country, but we need to go.
Travel Agent: Okay. So, where?
Mary-Jean: Falkland Islands. We want the fastest flight there.
Travel Agent: I'll find one flight for you...

Fourth To Depart: 2:48pm
J.T.: Fly to Mount Pleasant Airport in Falkland Islands and board a shuttle bus to the capital of Falkland Islands, Stanley.

Fifth To Depart: 2:48pm
Glorietta: You have $0 for this leg of the race. We don't care.
Arnold: For all I know, we are Paraguayan millionaires!!!
Glorietta: Yah, looks like the producers decided it's time to stop wasting money.

Stephen: Let's go, J.T. We need to beat them. Pft. Like we couldn't. :res:
Glorietta: Honey, let's go. You can drive faster than that.
Arnold: Anything for my baby.
Arnold overtook Stephen.
J.T.: Now, now, Stevo, don't crash our cars.
Stephen: Fine. We are going straight to the airport, though.
Arnold: Let's take our time and head to the travel agency. With an unknown country like Falkland Islands, I have a feeling there is a lack of good flights.

Travel Agency:
Travel Agent: Oh dear...
Mary-Jean: Hmmm??
Travel Agent: I'm sorry, but I tried searching and all I could find is one flight. And there are a lot of connections. It's risky, don't go for it.
Cecilia: It's not like we have a choice. We HAVE to be there.
Travel Agent: Ugh. Tourists...
Jean: Tell us the flight please.
Travel Agent: Flights...Okay so it's LAN Airlines all the way, the first departs at 5:10pm-(is cut off)
Cecilia: Dang.
Travel Agent: And arrives at Arturo Merino Benitez Airport in Santiago at 7:40pm. Five minutes later, you depart and head to Tepual Airport in Chile, arriving at 9:25pm-(is cut off)
Mary-Jean: Gosh...
Travel Agent: Twenty minutes later, you depart and arrive at Pres Ibanez Airport in Punta Arenas at 11:55pm. Twenty more minutes later-(is cut off again)
Cecilia: This is ridiculous.
Travel Agent: You depart again and arrive at Mount Pleasant Airport-(is cut off once again)
Cecilia: Finally.
Travel Agent: At 1:50am.
Jean: Eight hours of flying and switching flights?
Travel Agent: Maybe? Why? You said you need to go there, so I don't think you'd mind. But don't worry, you are 100% in the book because only a quarter of the seats are filled.
Cecilia: Ha? All teams will catch up.
They decided to book the tickets and they headed to the airport.

Sixth To Depart: 3:01pm
Juanita: Falkland Islands.
Adolph: Is that still in South America?

Seventh To Depart: 3:09pm
Justin: Let's go!
Cathy: Right behind you. We need to stay on our toes today.
Cathy (conf.): So far there hasn't been any Non-Elimination Legs or Double Length Legs. It has to come soon.
Justin (conf.): Exactly. We don't feel luck as a part of the game anymore.

Last To Depart: 3:41pm
Sofia: We are so behind.
Josh: Fly to Mount Pleasant Airprot in Falkland Islands.
Sofia: $0?? Aw...
Sofia (conf.): We're thirty minutes behind Justin & Cathy. We've never been at the bottom until last leg.
Josh (conf.): We realized how much we hate it. Fourth is much better than this.
Sofia (conf.): But we believe we can still catch up.
All teams found out about the same flights and all of them boarded the first leg of the flights to Falkland Islands without a problem

Phil: All teams are now on a flight to Mount Pleasant Airport, Falkland Islands, scheduled to arrive at 1:50am.

Mount Pleasant Airport:
The flight arrived.
Adolph: They use the Pound here, the Falkland Pounds, so is it in Europe?
Glorietta: I was told the islands is in South America, at the very bottom! So nope.
Aida: This must be the shuttle bus. Look, it says Stanley.
Justin: We're here, Cathy.
Sofia: This place is marvelous!
Cecilia: Jean, we need to pay 12FKP for the bus. Each.
Jean: All the other teams will also pay so I don't see the problem.
Josephine: Cecilia, they speak English here. It's great. :yess: Let's ask how to get to the bureau.
Cecilia: Erm...This bus goes directly to the bureau.
Josephine: Oh, duh. :groan: Thanks.
Arnold: It is such a good thing we have a lot of money.
Josh: Well, here goes another ride. Reminds us all so much on our first leg.
Aida: We are getting sick of these rides.
The bus left.

Philatelic Bureau:
Sofia: Did you see the view? Oh my gosh it is so pretty out here!
Josh: Who'd knew South America would be this awesome looking?
J.T.: Here it is. The epic hunt for eight stamps out of a million.
Stephen: That is so epic! Let's try to beat the midgets!
Glorietta: I never want to look at the faces of postal stamps ever again! But I'd hate to see his face again more! He is like the more annoying Medusa, turning as rocky and rough stones! (:
Josephine: This looks really scary.
Cecilia: We can do this, Jean.
Aida: Oh, papa, oh, wow...
Alphonse: I know, it's so horrific.
All eight teams start checking each stamp carefully, with frustrations easily showing in all their faces, but all is quiet...Until...
Juanita: I FOUND ONE!!!
Adolph: Nice on, Juanita!!!! :wohoo: You rock! I just want to kiss you right now!
Juanita: Okay, let's look at the back...Capstan Gift Shop.
Phil: Teams must now make their way to Capstan Gift Shop, in Ross Road. This shop, selling all kinds of Falkland Islands gifts is where teams must go to next.


Josh: What does the stamp look like?
Juanita: It's yellow and black, like the envelopes!
Josh: OH! Thanks!
Adolph: I cannot believe you found it so quickly!
Juanita: Me either! But let's get to here right now!
Adolph: Oh, right. Can anyone take us to Capstan Gift Shop?
Local: Oh, it's not far from here. Just along that road. Not far!
Adolph: Yay! People speak English here! :hearts:
Juanita: This feels so good right now!
No team managed to find a stamp before Adolph & Juanita reached their next destination.

Capstan Gift Shop:
Juanita: Mornings in Falkland Islands are totally peaceful.
Adolph: Roadblock! Who can wrap it up and down again?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member has to perform. In this Roadblock, that team member must properly wrap fifteen gift boxes. If the shopkeeper is satisfied, then they must unwrap all fifteen gift boxes again. For each unconvinced unwrapped gift boxes, they must wrap another one and unwrap them again before receiving their next clue.


Juanita: I think I can.
Adolph: Yes, okay. Juanita's doing the Roadblock.
Juanita: Oh...wrapping...Not my thing. :duno:
Adolph: I should've done that. :groan: Good luck though!
Juanita: I'll try my best!
Adolph: You can do it!
Juanita: Oh, see here! Caution: Gyratory ahead!
Phil: This is a new twist in the race, the Gyratory. If a team is Gyratoried, the other team member not completing the Roadblock must finish the Roadblock before the team can move on. Only once can a team use the Gyratory so they must decide on the best time to use it.


Juanita: This sounds cool! I'd better get to work, then!
Juanita struggled...
Man: That one's not good enough.
Juanita: Seriously...
She finished wrapping nine out of fifteen gift boxes before another team found the right stamp.

Philatelic Bureau:
Jean: Cecilia, I found it!
Cecilia: Alright, you go girl!
Alphonse: How are they doing this?
Josh: Sofia, I got one! Let's go!
Sofia: Thank goodness. You rock, sweetie.
Jean: It says...
Josh: Capstan Gift Shop.
They started asking for directions and were easily led to the shop.

Capstan GIft Shop:
Sofia: Here it is.
Josh: Juanita's inside. Looks like it's a Roadblock.
Sofia: It is. Who can wrap it up and down again? Probably wrapping presents.
Josh: Getting ready for Christmas, are they?
Sofia: I'll do it. I'm better at it.
Cecilia: Do you want to do it?
Jean: Yeah, I can wrap it up and down again.
Josh: Okay then, good luck Sofia!
Sofia: This might be tons of fun!
After a few minutes...
Man: Good, you can begin unwrapping them. Warning, though!
Juanita: Thanks. Now...this will be delicate...
Sofia wrapped eleven while Jean was stuck on her fifth.
Cecilia: Work quicker, Jean!
Jean: It is just so hard! I've never wrapped presents before, I get maids to do that!

Philatelic Bureau:
Glorietta: :yess: I got it! Capstan Gift Shop!
Arnold: Awesome, honey!
Glorietta (humming): We beat them! We beat them!
Stephen: GRRR!!!! :groan:
J.T.: Chill, Stephen! Continue!
Stephen: Yes, okay, I will.
Stephen (conf.): Glorietta was so irritating. :groan:
Glorietta:
Glorietta (conf.): I'm so happy to beat Stephen in that. :snicker:
Mary-Jean: I hate these searching tasks...

Capstan Gift Shop:
Cecilia: Another team's coming!
Juanita: Who is coming, Adolph?
Adolph: It's Glorietta & Arnold.
Arnold: Roadblock! Who can wrap it up and down again?
Glorietta: I'll do it. It's a wrapping task, and I know how to wrap presents.
Arnold: You're right. Along with this. Caution: Gyratory ahead!
Glorietta: OH!!!! :snicker:
Glorietta (conf.): The Gyratory... :snicker:
Glorietta: I will do this task quickly! Ladies, please don't use the Gyratory unless you're using it on Stephen & J.T.!
Juanita: Sure thing...
Sofia: Okay!
Jean: Hmm...Sure.
Jean (conf.): Glorietta and Stephen seem to have a conflict going on. We're on both sides so it's hard to choose. But we will definitely have that as a benefit. :snicker:
Juanita completed the task while Sofia began unwrapping, Jean wrapping her tenth, and Glorietta wrapping her fifth very quickly.
Man: Here is your clue.
Juanita: Thanks!
Adolph: We Gyratory NO ONE!
Juanita: Proceed to Malvina House Hotel for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now find this hotel, the Malvina House Hotel.


Adolph: Can anyone take us to Malvina House Hotel?
Local: Sure, okay.
Adolph: Really? Thanks a bunch!!

Philatelic Bureau:
Cathy: Justin! Here's one!
Justin: Capstan Gift Shop.
Josephine: This cannot be happening... :groan:
Stephen: Oh...dammit...
Aida: PAPA!

Malvina House Hotel:
Juanita: Here's our clue.
Adolph: Thank you!
Local: Don't mention it!
Juanita: Walk to Stanley Harbour, where many water sports and activities of the city take place. Once there, look for a 'tourist' for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now walk to the harbour that is well known to the locals. They must find this tourist for their next clue.


Adolph: We need to walk.
Juanita: It's quite far on the map. Let's go.

Capstan Gift Shop:
Man: Here is your clue.
Sofia: Josh! I did it!! :hearts:
Josh: :yess:
Sofia: We want to Gyratory no one!
Josh: Malvina House Hotel...
Arnold: Sweetie, Justin & Cathy just arrived.
Cecilia: Yay, our friends!!
Cathy: Glad you still care about us! Roadblock! Who can wrap it up and down again?
Justin: You can. It's a simple task.
Cathy: I can try. Caution: Gyratory ahead!
Cecilia: Glorietta wants to use it on Stephen so she is asking to not use it.
Cathy: Well if there are guarantees that I won't be a victim then sure!

Philatelic Bureau:
J.T.: Stevo! Here's one!
Mary-Jean: Gosh.
Aida & Alphonse: :ascared
Stephen: Capstan Gift Shop.
J.T.: Man, how could it take us such a long time???
Alphonse: Continue, Aida.
Aida: It is so difficult.
Mary-Jean: Let's not lose hope.

Capstan Gift Shop:
Man: Good job. Here is your clue.
Glorietta: Thanks! Let's go, Arnold!
Arnold: Right.
Cecilia & Jean and Justin & Cathy gaze at Glorietta.
Glorietta: WE CHOOSE TO GYRATORY...


Glorietta: You-know-who!! Victory! :yess:
Arnold: That's great, now let's leave for the hotel.
Glorietta: Or is it a house?
Arnold: Maybe it's a house that serves people. Like bed and breakfast.
Cecilia: How many have you done?
Jean: I've unwrapped six already!
Justin: Well then Cathy's caught up to you!
Jean: Has she? :groan: I suck at this.
Cathy: Don't lose hope, Jean.
A few minutes later...
Stephen: Dangit! Glorietta & Arnold finished already!
J.T.: Never mind them! Roadblock! Who can wrap it up and down again?
Stephen: They're wrapping presents. Can you wrap presents?
J.T.: Yes, but I suck at it.
Stephen: I was asking if you can, not have. I will do it. Shoot! Caution: Gyratory ahead!
J.T.: Oh, bollocks. Hopefully this rivalry doesn't go to that point. What's the function of the Gyratory?
Stephen: If a team is Gyratoried, the other member not doing the Roadblock will also have to complete it before moving on. It won't count in the official 'Roadblocks performed' count though.
J.T.: Well that sucks.
One team completed the Roadblock.
Justin: Yes, nice job, soldier! :yess:
Cathy: I am literally an army wife. :lol:
Justin: Malvina House Hotel. Let's go!
Cathy: And we cannot use the Gyratory anymore!

Malvina House Hotel:
Sofia: Here it is.
Josh: Stanley Harbour.
Sofia: It's on the map! Awesome!
A few minutes later...
Glorietta: Walk to Stanley Harbour...

Philatelic Bureau:
Josephine: I got it! Thank goodness!
Aida: PAPAAAAA!!!
Mary-Jean: Capstan Gift Shop. You are one awesome friend, Josephine! Good luck, Aida and Aida's dad!
Alphonse: Come on, darling, we can't give up now.
Aida: This just breaks my heart. What's with all these postal tasks!

Malvina House Hotel:
Cathy: Walk to Stanley Harbour...
Justin: It's far. But it's by the seaside, should be easy to find.

Stanley Harbour:
Juanita: Where's our clue?
Adolph: Keep searching. It can't be difficult to find.
Juanita: There! Detour! Picturesque or Genus!
Phil: A Detour is choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams must choose between tasks relating the scenic and animal-loving territory of Falkland Islands. Their choice: Picturesque or Genus.
In Picturesque, teams have received in their clue a picture of their destination that is crowded with penguins, in Gypsy Cove. They must figure this out and go there and search the vast but beautiful area for the clue. Although this task seems difficult and takes a long time, but most of the locals know the place really well and they have exceptional friendliness, and they are more than willing to help clueless tourists.

In Genus, teams have received, also in their clue, a term that says 'Baleonoptera musculus'. Teams must figure out that this is the scientific name of the blue whale. Once figured out, they must realize that the blue whale significantly relates to the arch in Christ Church Cathedral, the arch being made from blue whale jawbones. This task is a lot nearer than the other Detour choice, but teams with that limitation of scientific knowledge might soon be racing for last.


Adolph: Genus, let's do that. It sounds easier.
Juanita: Sure.
Adolph: Baleonoptera musculus...What?
Juanita: You are kidding me. We are not racing scientists!
Adolph: Yea! We're not geek-sporty-talkative people!
Juanita: Shall we do Picturesque?
Adolph: Nah. I still think Genus is easier.
Juanita: But it sounds like 'Genius'! Is that a bad sign?
Adolph: But I have no idea what these penguins are.
Juanita: And we have no idea what a Baleonoptera musculus is!
Adolph: Hmm...
They thought for a while, asking locals for help, with no luck.

Capstan Gift Shop:
Man: Here is your clue.
Stephen: Thank you.
Jean: Thank you so much. I am so proud of myself!
Stephen: DAMMIT!! We're Gyratoried! Those dang midgets!
J.T.: I will have to do it quick.
J.T. (conf.): It looked like Glorietta and Stephen's argument with each other got worse!
Jean: Proceed to Malvina House Hotel.
Local: You can walk there.
Jean: Great! :kuss:
Josephine: Roadblock! Who can wrap it up and down again?
Mary-Jean: I can!
Josephine: Good luck, Mary-Jean!
J.T.: Is there another team left?
Mary-Jean: Just one. Aida & Papa.
J.T.: Papa?
Mary-Jean: Aida keeps calling her dad 'papa'. She even shrieks 'papa'. Gosh...
J.T.: Reminds me of jatobas all of a sudden.
Mary-Jean: What? Papaya? :funny:
J.T.: :funny:
Stephen: No time to flirt! Get to work!
Cecilia: Good luck, girls!
Josephine: Thanks, girls!

Philatelic Bureau:
Alphonse: No luck yet?
Aida: Zit. I need a rest.
Alphonse: Take your time, honey.
Alphonse (conf.): That challenge sucked. Big time.
Aida (conf.): It put us so far behind. Stupid...

Stanley Harbour:
Juanita: We found out it is a blue whale. Thanks to our woman here.
Local: ;D It is related to the arch at Christ Church Cathedral!
Adolph: It's in our map! Great! :yess:
Few seconds later...
Sofia: Detour! Picturesque or Genus!
Josh: Hm...
Sofia: Picturesque? I'd love to see the city more.
Josh: Okay. So...penguins...Does anyone know where this is??
Local: Hmm...That might be Gypsy Cove. But then again it could be Volunteer Point.
Sofia: But which one's nearer?
Local: Gypsy Cove I think. And I think it is Gypsy Cove. Volunteer Point should be icy.
Josh: Okay thanks...Hmm...Wow...It's still far, according to our trusted map.
Sofia: But we have to go there quick.
Sofia tripped on a huge and spiky rock near the seaside when she turned.
Sofia: OUCH!
Josh: Crap! Sofia, are you alright?
Sofia: Ugh...No!
Josh: Hold on, baby. Medics!!
The medics rushed to check her leg out, the left one bleeding in different spots.
Sofia: Oh my god...It hurts! Stupid biatch rock!!!
Medic1: Don't panic, calm down...
Medic2: We're just going to look for anything inserted into your leg.
Sofia: Now I don't get why I wore shorts. It's chilly, and I got stung by a biatch rock.

Malvina House Hotel:
Cecilia: Walk to Stanley Harbour!
Jean: I am dying to take public transports right now!!! :groan:

Stanley Harbour:
Sofia was still having her leg checked, now up to the bandaging point.
Glorietta: Oh, what happened?
Josh: She hurt her leg.
Glorietta: Ouch. Get well soon!
Arnold: Detour. Picturesque or Genus.
Glorietta: Let's go with...Genus.
Arnold: Baleonoptera musculus...
Glorietta: Why do you think I chose that Detour? I know what it is! A blue whale. Let's just ask the locals where can we see such a thing.
Arnold: You are so good! You made it so easy!! :kuss:
A few minutes later...
Medic1: Nothing urgent. You're okay. You can continue. Good luck!
Sofia: Thanks. ;D
Josh: Do you still want to do the Detour?
Sofia: Uh huh. I'm not giving up.
Josh: Maybe we should...
Sofia: No, let's stick with this.

Capstan Gift Shop:
Mary-Jean: I did it, Josephine!
Josephine: Wonderful job!
Mary-Jean: Malvina House Hotel.
J.T.: This is impossible!
Stephen: If you can starve yourself, then you can wrap gifts!
J.T.: I'd rather starve again for this! The Amazing Race isn't really my thing!

Stanley Harbour:
Cathy: Detour! Picturesque or Genus?
Justin: Do you know what a Baleonoptera musculus is?
Cathy: I might have learned it in Biology long time ago...Ah! It's a whale I think.
Justin: Let's ask the locals where we can find...whales? Are you sure?
Cathy: No. :duno:
Justin: Excuse me, do you know any whale landmarks here?
Local: Hmm...I think there are whale bones in the area.
Justin: Wow.
Cathy: Cool. :lol:
Justin: Where?
Local: At the cathedral!
Justin (checking map): Christ Church Cathedral?
Local: I think that's the name.
Justin: Great! Thanks!
Cathy: Score! :yess:

Malvina House Hotel:
Mary-Jean: Walk to Stanley Harbour...
Josephine: Stanley Harbour is on the map. I am guessing it's around twenty to thirty minutes from here on foot.
Mary-Jean: Wanna run?
Josephine: No thanks. The clue says to walk. I don't want them to trick us with these crude instructions. :lol:

Capstan Gift Shop:
Stephen: You did it! Great job!
J.T.: Woo! Finally!
Stephen: We are going to Malvina House Hotel now.
J.T.: Man! Where's the Pitstop?

Genus:
Juanita: This is it! Whale bones! Now...where's our clue?
Adolph: Right in it, Juanita.
Juanita: Oh! Nice! Walk to the next Pitstop: Volunteer Point! Hurry! The last team to arrive may be eliminated!
Phil: Teams must now run to the next Pitstop, Volunteer Point. This must-see attraction, where small colonies of king and gentoo penguins roam, is the Pitstop for this leg of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.


Juanita: Yahoo!
Adolph: Alright!

Stanley Harbour:
Cecilia: Detour! Picturesque or Genus!
Jean: Wanna do Picturesque? We don't do science.
Cecilia: Yea, let's do Picturesque. Can anyone tell us where this is?
Local: That's in Gypsy Cove.
Cecilia: Can you take us there?
Local: Sorry, I can't.
Cecilia: It's okay. Let's go, Jean.
A few minutes later...
Mary-Jean: Let's do Picturesque.
Josephine: Okay. Let's run to it!
They found out it is Gypsy Cove and ran quickly.

Malvina House Hotel:
J.T.: Stanley Harbour, Stevo!
Stephen: I know, I know. Let's go!

Philatelic Bureau:
No luck!!!
Aida: Papa, I give up. This, this isn't worth it. This is not worth my time!
Alphonse: I know. I want to give up too.
Aida: Do you wanna quit now? Because I'm more than willing to.
Alphonse: Let's give it a thought first, let's rest.
Alphonse (conf.): We just couldn't find that stupid stamp.
Aida: I want to quit now! I mean it!
Alphonse: Give it a moment, darling!!

Genus:
Cathy: There it is.
Justin: Reach out for the clue!
Cathy: Got it! Walk to the next Pitstop: Volunteer Point!
Justin: Please, please, PLEASE say we caught up!

Picturesque:
Arnold: Now here are the penguins! :yess: Right!
Glorietta: Let's search for the clue!
They found the pile of clues under a small cave.
Glorietta: Walk to the next Pitstop...I just want to beat Stephen.
Arnold: We are ahead, just calm down for once.

Stanley Harbour:
J.T.: Detour! Picturesque or Genus!
Stephen: Genus is MY type of task! Baleonoptera musculus. I've heard of it somewhere in a book. I think it the scientific name for the blue whale.
They asked a local, who replied that it's the cathedral they're looking for.
Stephen: Now we are going to Christ Church Cathedral, to hopefully catch up!

Picturesque:
Josh: Now you sit here while I look for the clue.
Sofia: Good idea, Josh. :kuss:
Josh quickly found the clue.
Josh: We are going to the Pitstop now!
Sofia: It's just a pain for us to walk, especially for me.

Volunteer Point-Pitstop:
Adolph: Look at these penguins!!
Juanita: AHH!! They are so cute!!!!!
Adolph: Yes! Finally made it!

Greeter: Hello and welcome to Stanley, Falkland Islands!
Juanita: We love this place. But I'd rather be in the sandy beaches, still.
Phil: Adolph & Juanita, you, are team number..............1!
Adolph: YAY!
Juanita: Wonderful!
Phil: As winners of this leg of the race you have won a trip for two from Travelocity to...Nicaragua!
Juanita: Huh?
Phil: You will stay in a luxurious hotel, meet the most important person of the country, and get to experience the rich culture that is Nicaragua. Congratulations!
Juanita: I've never heard of Nicaragua before.
Adolph: Who cares? We won a leg! :wohoo:
Phil: What do you think of the game so far?
Juanita: Great, Phil, very GREAT!

Genus:
Stephen: There's our clue! And are those real whale bones?
J.T.: Walk to the next Pitstop!
Stephen: Shoot! We didn't see the midgets! I hope they haven't gotten ahead! They better have not!
J.T.: I'm just hatin' bein' eliminated!

Picturesque:
Cecilia: Hmm...This looks like it.
Jean: Let's look around for a while and see if we can find the clue.
A few seconds later...
Jean: Cecilia! It's our friends!
Josephine: We're so happy to be called your friends!
Jean: Mind helping us search?
Mary-Jean: Of course!
A few seconds later...
Josephine: I found it! Right here!
Cecilia & Jean: Thanks!
Josephine: Walk to the next Pitstop, Volunteer Point.
Cecilia: It looks like we'll be going to the Pitstop together again. :funny:
Josephine: Let's seal a deal again. At one point we start a short marathon to the Pitstop to decide our positions.
Jean: Suits me.
Cecilia: Yeah right... :res: Okay.

Capstan Gift Shop:
Aida (tearing with frustration): Papa, eliminated or not, I love you so much.
Alphonse: I love you too.
They hugged each other.
Aida: I cannot believe it, such bad luck in the beginning of the leg.
Alphonse: We can't stop it, dear. We have to accept this fate.
Aida: Yes...We're quitting. We've decided.

Volunteer Point-Pitstop:
Justin: There it is!
Cathy: This reminds me of the war in the Atlantic! Only fewer penguins!
Greeter: Welcome to Stanley, Falkland Islands!
Justin: Thank you!
Cathy: This is paradise, I must say. Too cool, though.
Justin: One word to describe it all...Cool.
Phil: Justin & Cathy, you, are team number.............................2!
Cathy: Woah! Really?
Phil: Yes!
Justin & Cathy:
Phil: I'm taking it as you didn't expect that?
Cathy: No we did not! Woah! I must be dreaming!
Justin: That is cool! Wicked!
Phil: What happened to that cocky spirit? In which you guys thought you could win it all easily?
Justin: Oh...that? :lol: Erm...things changed.
Phil: :lol: I see. Well, glad you're still here!
A couple of minutes later...
Phil: Glorietta & Arnold, you, are team number 3.
Arnold: Alright, this is great!
Glorietta: We beat-(is cut off)
Arnold: Knock that off. We don't want enemies in our honeymoon!
Phil: The fight still going on?
Glorietta: Yeah! But we claim victory today!!! :jumpy: In his face!!
Minutes later...
Sofia (wincing): Ow...ow...ow...
Josh: Do you want me to carry you all the way?
Sofia (wincing): Ya-ow...ow...
Josh: :res:
Josh carried Sofia all the way to the Pitstop.
Sofia: Don't put me down. It will hurt SO MUCH!
Greeter: Hello and welcome to Stanley, Falkland Islands.
Sofia: Best place we have visited so far.
Phil: Josh & Sofia, you, are team number................................................4.
Sofia: Oh...
Josh: Shut the fudge up. We are back at this curse!
Phil: Is number four your lucky number?
Josh: Probably the number that'll doom us.
Sofia: We'll take it for now, though.
Phil: By the way, we will need to check that leg.
Sofia: Sure thing.
Minutes later...
Mary-Jean: Halt. This is it.
Jean: Haha okay. ;D
Josephine: Three...two...one...go!
The four women ran as fast as they can to Phil.
Greeter: Hello and welcome to Stanley, Falkland Islands, to you two teams!
Mary-Jean (panting): Thank you.
Jean (panting): Yea.
Josephine (panting): You guys are getting tougher. Dangit...
Phil: Mary-Jean & Josephine, you, are team number............................................................5!
Josephine: :yess:
Mary-Jean: Yes. :hearts:
Cecilia: Thank god.
Jean: Nice.
Phil: Cecilia & Jean, you, are team number 6.
Cecilia: We're just happy to still be in the game.
Phil: So is the bond between you two teams strong?
Jean: In all honesty, going stronger.
Josephine: These women are so, so, SO nice to work with!
Minutes later...
Phil: Stephen & J.T., you, are team number........................................7.
Stephen: Dammit! So low!
Phil: But you are still in the race!
J.T.: That's the good thing, Stevo.
Stephen: We'll get them next time.
Phil: Who is 'we' and who is 'them'?
Stephen: Oh, sorry. It should be 'I'll get her next time.'!
Phil: That makes things so much easier. :lol:
Stephen: This is serious business, and I mean it.

Philatelic Bureau:
Shortly after the last team checked-in, Phil arrived at Philatelic Bureau and found Aida & Alphonse sitting in the corner.
Phil: Aida & Alphonse, I understand that you have decided to quit and pull yourselves out of the race.
Aida (tearing): Yes.
Alphonse: It's too hard.
Phil: Well, unfortunately, all teams have already checked-in.
Aida (tearing): It's okay.
Phil: Aida & Alphonse, you have been eliminated from the race.
Alphonse: It's been a fun experience.
Phil: Any regrets?
Alphonse: No, none.
Phil: Alphonse, how proud are you of your daughter? She played a tough and feisty game.
Alphonse: She did, didn't she? My girl, I knew she has it in her.
Phil: Aida, how proud are you of your father?
Aida: Papa's the best. I love him.

Alphonse: (conf.) It is sad that we got eliminated but we wouldn't want it any other way.
Aida (conf.): We play this game with so much energy, so much excitement, so much integrity, so much justice, and we enjoy every second of it.
Alphonse (conf.): This is one experience we will tell everyone we knew.
Aida (conf.): It's nice to be recognized by the media for once. :lol: But we are just happy to participate in the race.
Alphonse (conf.): And we are happier because we've raced with each other. :kuss:

Episode 6 - I Want To Kiss You Right Now, Phil!

Previously on RealShowFan's The Amazing Race 2...Eight teams flew to Stanley, Falkland Islands.
Alphonse: Falkland Islands? Never heard.
All teams, once again, bunched into one link of flights.
Cecilia: This is ridiculous.
Teams were blasted with the scenic views of Falkland Islands.
Sofia: This place is marvelous!
Josh: Who'd new South America would be this awesome looking?
At the very first task of the leg, teams needed to quickly find their one in a million.
Juanita: I FOUND ONE!!!
Josh: Sofia, I got one! Let's go!
Glorietta (humming): We beat them! We beat them!
At the Roadblock, teams encountered a new twist.
Juanita: Caution: Gyratory ahead!
The continuation of the fight between Glorietta and Stephen made J.T. an innocent victim of the new twist.
Glorietta: Ladies, please don't use the Gyratory unless you're using it on Stephen & J.T.!
Stephen: DAMMIT!! We're Gyratoried! Those dang midgets!
J.T. (conf.): It looked like Glorietta and Stephen's argument with each other got worse!
Sofia hurt her leg.
Sofia: OUCH!
Josh: Crap! Sofia, are you alright?
Sofia: Ugh...No!
But with strong perseverance, completed the long walking Detour.
Sofia: It's just a pain for us to walk, especially for me.
While some other teams chose to go the scientific way.
Juanita: This is it! Whale bones!
Stephen: Genus is MY type of task!
And in the end, Adolph & Juanita's smooth going attitude propelled them to first.
Phil: Adolph & Juanita, you, are team number..............1!
Adolph: YAY!
Juanita: Wonderful!
Aida & Alphonse couldn't find their one in a million, and quitted the race.
Aida: This just breaks my heart.
Alphonse: Let's give it a thought first, let's rest.
Aida: I want to quit now! I mean it!
Phil: Aida & Alphonse, you have been eliminated from the race.
SEVEN TEAMS REMAIN!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT???

Phil: This is Stanley, the capital of Falkland Islands. Invaded by Argentina and the British, it had survived the Falklands War and is now a very picturesque territory at the bottom of the Earth. And to go along with its picturesque views, Volunteer Point. This is the fifth 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 the other teams. Can Adolph & Juanita maintain their newfound lead? Will the friendship between the two all-female teams continue strongly? Will Stephen have his revenge, or will Glorietta emerge as the victor of the fight? Will Sofia be able to continue on with the race? Adolph & Juanita, who were the first to arrive at 6:55am, will depart at 6:55pm.

First To Depart: 6:55pm
Juanita: Fly to the capital of Australia!
Adolph: :yess:
Juanita: Because of the rare flights to Australia from Mount Pleasant Airport, you have all been given a Qantas flight departing at 11:10pm and arriving at 4am. You can search for better flights if you want. Once there, find the Australian War Memorial in Russell for your next clue. You have $40 for this leg of the race.
Phil: Teams must now fly to Canberra, the capital of Australia.

Once there, they must find this memorial commemorating World War II, in the suburb of Russell.


Juanita: This doesn't look good.
Adolph: Here goes another lead gone. :groan:
Adolph (conf.): This race has been becoming more predictable leg by leg.
Juanita (conf.): Agreed. We have eliminations every leg, and recently we've all been bunched because of flights.
Adolph (conf.): The only thing we didn't expect was us winning the last leg.
Juanita (conf.): It was definitely the calm attitude we have. And we plan to keep it that way, if that's what The Amazing Race Gods wanted.
Adolph: At least we're going to another English-speaking country.
Juanita: That's great. Let's go. You drive, I map.
Adolph: Sure, darling.

Second To Depart: 7:08pm
Cathy: Even evening in Falkland Islands is great! ;D
Justin: Fly to the capital of Australia.
Cathy: Canberra! Yay! We've been there!
Justin: :yess: Hmm...We're all given the same flight though.
Cathy: Really? Oh no...
Cathy (conf.): We think we are doing well right now but seriously, everyone's all around in the air. There are no consistent placements, we're all just flying aimlessly.
Justin (conf.): It makes the game more exciting and unpredictable.

Third To Depart: 7:10pm
Arnold: You have $40 for this leg of the race.
Glorietta: Hurrah. But it looks like we're given a flight automatically.
Arnold: Do you want to search for a better flight?
Glorietta: I'm confident with this one. Let's just search some details on the city we're going to.
Arnold: What's the capital of Australia?
Glorietta: It's Stanley, right?
Arnold: Nah, I'm pretty sure it's Melbourne.
Glorietta: Boy...What is it really?
Arnold: Neither. It's Canberra. :funny:
Glorietta: Where's Canberra??
Arnold: We'll figure it out when we get there. :lol:

Fourth To Depart: 7:20pm
Sofia was given medical attention during the rest period.
Sofia: How's my leg?
Medic: There isn't much problem. Actually, you're very lucky nothing punctured your leg really deep, or else the situation would've been a lot more fatal.
Sofia: Whew. That's great. I'm such a lucky charm. But can I continue on with this race?
Medic: Yes, you can. But if your wounds begin to bleed time and time again, remember to bandage them.
Sofia: Will do. How could I not? With the annoying cameramen around. Thank you!
Sofia (conf.): I kind of recovered from the pain last leg, but I'll still be careful this leg.
Sofia: Fly to the capital of Australia!
Josh: Cool.
Sofia: Canberra! Do you want to take this flight or find a better one if we can?
Josh: I'm sure they are trying to trick us with this. There has to be better flights.
Sofia: We're going, then.
Sofia (conf.): Fourth again. We really thought that curse was gone since two legs ago.
Josh (conf.): We wanna try our best and we always try our best, but all we could manage was fourth. We don't want to intentionally do worse as it may end us up at last.
Sofia (conf.): We don't want fourth place as our destiny. No one does.
Josh: We're on our way to the airport...

Fifth To Depart: 7:28pm
Mary-Jean: I sense more...bunching.
Josephine: At least we can make up some ground...again...

Sixth To Depart: 7:28pm
Cecilia (sighing): Here we go again.
Jean: This game is so wicked. :res:
Cecilia: Ain't it? :res:

Last To Depart: 7:35pm
J.T.: You have $40 for this leg of the race.
Stephen: Now come on! We gotta go!
J.T.: I know, Stevo!
J.T. (conf.): It sucks being last. But we'd rather be last than eliminated.
Stephen (conf.): Now my fire of hatred on Glorietta burned by a trillion degrees.
J.T. (conf.): When Stephen wants revenge, he gets them...
Stephen (conf.): Yes. You saw me in Tocantins, and it's gonna happen again. :snicker:
J.T.: We've been given a flight to the city.
Stephen: Eh? Why?
J.T.: Because the airport here doesn't operate a lot of flights, so they give us this for our convenience. Nice people. ;D
Stephen: Ooh...Perfect... :snicker:
Stephen (conf.): I really want my revenge on Glorietta got Gyratorying us. SHE WILL HAVE IT!!! :snicker:

Mount Pleasant Airport:
Juanita: We are going to look for a better flight! I hope we can find a very good one!
They found an Internet service area and started searching for flights.
Juanita: All we found is this one, the one we have right now. Dangit. :groan:
Adolph: This is the ONLY flight in I don't know...a month?
Juanita: If we miss this flight, ohhh nooo... :lol:
Justin & Cathy arrived.
Justin: We know the place pretty well so we will find a better flight.
They met up with Adolph & Juanita, then Glorietta & Arnold arrived.
Glorietta: We're researching on Canberra and will print its map for free!!! :wohoo:
Juanita: Guys, we can't find any better flight.
Cathy: We'll double-check, just in case.
Adolph: Good luck with that.
Juanita: Let's find out where Australian American Memorial is.
Cathy: We'll look up the flights until there's no time left...That's two hours!
Minutes later, Josh & Sofia arrived.
Josh: We are quite sure about this flight so we will just buy a map.
Minutes later, with Justin & Cathy having no luck yet, two more teams arrived...
Cecilia: Soo...Guys, I think it is better if one of us buy the map and research the place we're going while the other search for flights.
Mary-Jean: That's an awesome idea. How much is a map though?
They were then told it's 15FKP.
Josephine: 8FKP each, then.
Cecilia: We'll go for the maps, you go find a flight. Good luck!
Mary-Jean: You too!
Cecilia: Let's go!
Cecilia (conf.): Now, we use our friends. :snicker: We had the map, since we're the ones that bought it, and don't plan on sharing it.
Jean (conf.): They are warm-hearted women, but we are not so, our occupation says enough. :lol:
Cecilia (conf.): In game time situations, we're much worse.
Jean (conf.): We will bring the villain out of evillain. :snicker:
Justin & Cathy continued having a hard time searching for flights, Mary-Jean & Josephine just starting, while the rest of the teams chilled out.
Justin: What we're doing now is finding flights in different sites in hopes of finding a very good one.
Cathy: But for now, all of those we've searched either had no search results, or had this flight as the earliest one arriving. But we aren't giving up. We still have a lot of time.
Josephine: It seems like we'll be getting nowhere.
Mary-Jean: I think so too. But...I just want to keep checking...
They kept searching...and searching...until...
Stephen: So what do we do?
J.T.: Let's just go ahead and do some research on Canberra.
Stephen: Sure.
Josephine: You know what, Mary-Jean? I quit. This is tiring. We aren't gonna get any flights, we tried our best.
Mary-Jean: Ugh. Okay. We'll have to tell Cecilia & Jean.
Cathy: They quitted.
Justin: Keep going. We know where Australian American Memorial is.
Cathy: Yup. We know where Russell is, and we know where the memorial is. It's a huge pole-shaped structure. We've been there because, you can't not expect us to know where this war monument is when we've been to the city!
Justin: We are totally gonna win this leg, even without a map, while everyone else has one! :yess:
At 10:40pm, one hour later...
Cathy: Already one hour?? We have to go.
Justin: Dammit! That lead would've been worth it!
At 10pm, the flight departed...

Phil: All teams are now on a Qantas flight to Canberra at 4am.

Canberra International Airport:
J.T.: The best way to get to the memorial is through the bus.
Stephen: Where is it?
J.T.: Outside, of course. The terminal.
Stephen: I know! But I mean, 100% specific?
J.T.: It's the ACTION bus right?
Stephen: Yes...
Teams that boarded the first ACTION bus were...Justin & Cathy...Stephen & J.T....Josh & Sofia.
Justin: Woo! We're first! :wohoo:
Cathy: This bus is very common in Canberra!!!
Stephen: :yess:
J.T.: Lemme guess...you beat Glorietta?
Stephen: :yess:
Josh: I hope no other team makes it here...
The rest were finding the bus...
Cecilia: How do we get to the memorial?
Local: All I can think of is the bus.
Cecilia: The bus?
Josephine: Is it ACTION bus?
Local: I think. :duno:
Cecilia: You're the local!
Local: That doesn't mean I know a lot about the place! (: Don't bother me!
Cecilia: (:
Jean: Don't lose your cool, Cecilia...
Cecilia: That lady is very obnoxious!
Josephine: Let's just take the ACTION bus.
Jean: If we know where it is.
The first bus left at 4:10am...without the ladies, only the first three teams. They boarded the second bus.
Cecilia: Is this the first bus?
Jean: Doesn't look like it...
Mary-Jean: We're last?? :groan: Our bad flight arrival luck continues.
Josephine: We just have to make do with it...
A few minutes later, before ten minutes, one more team arrived.
Cecilia: Oh! We're not actually last!
Mary-Jean: What's up, guys?
Arnold: It was so hard to walk around the place.
Cecilia: The bus leaves in five minutes.
They waited for Adolph & Juanita to come...
Adolph: I can't see any taxis...
Juanita: Why don't we find another way???
They were soon told by a local that a bus is possible.
Juanita: Oh my goodness! Let's find this bus, and quick!
But at 4:20am, the bus left.
Josephine: We're on our way to find the memorial.

Australian American Memorial:
Teams found the tall pole that is the Australian American Memorial.
Cathy: Let's run!
J.T.: We can run, Stevo!
Stephen: I'm right behind you!
Josh: Come on, Sofia! Outrun Stephen!
Sofia: I am trying my best, babe!
Cathy: Proceed to Commonwealth Park.
Phil: Teams must now find this park for their next clue.


Justin: Which bus route goes to the park?
Cathy: Now this we need to ask the locals.
The three teams asked for help from locals, two boarded another ACTION bus first, the other struggling to find it.
Stephen: It has to be like the one we took just now.
J.T.: Keep looking!
Stephen: I cannot believe taxis are rare here. :duno:
The bus boarded...without them.
Justin: High-five, guys! Team Survivor didn't make it!
Sofia: WOO! :wohoo:
Josh: This is the lead we need!
Cathy: You're dang right! :yess: It only takes five minutes to get there.

Commonwealth Park:
The ACTION bus arrived at the park and the two leading teams exited it.
Cathy: Justin, here!
Justin: What does it say?
Cathy: Other than the Fast Forward, which we don't need...Roadblock! Who's having a colourful travel experience?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one team member must perform. In this Roadblock, that team member must partake in the colourful festival of Floriade, a yearly flower festival held in the months of September and October. They must search for a Travelocity Gnome amongst the chaos. However, the gnomes won't be in their usual blue coats, but may be painted in another colour, as it's a tradition of the festival to paint gnomes. Once found, their next clue will be revealed at the bottom of the gnome.


Justin: Do you want to do it?
Cathy: Yea, doesn't sound much of a physical task.
Sofia: Josh!
Josh: Hm!
Sofia: Fast Forward! Go to the National Film and Sound Archive...
Phil: If a team wins a Fast Forward, they can skip all remaining tasks and head directly to the Pitstop. Only once can a team win a Fast Forward and only one team can win each Fast Forward, so they must decide on the best time to use it. In this Fast Forward, that team must find the National Film and Sound Archive and play CDs until they can find the one that congratulates them. Once done, they will win the Fast Forward clue, and receive the Travelocity Gnome.


Sofia: You can only take one CD at a time. Let's go for it, Josh!
Josh: Why?
Sofia: My leg needs to take a rest!
Josh: I thought you're fine?
Sofia: Better complete the leg as fast as we can so my leg can have more rest! And yours too!
Josh: Okay, we'll go for it.
They found the bus heading to the archive.

Australian American Memorial:
Stephen & J.T. found the bus and were headed to the park. Two minutes later, the second bus arrived.
Josephine: Commonwealth Park.
Cecilia: Commonwealth Park.
Arnold: Commonwealth Park.
Glorietta: Guys, let's find the bus together.
Cecilia: Sure...
Mary-Jean: I cannot believe we are in Australia! This is so surreal! :wohoo: And in the morning! Wow!
Jean: Yea...cool, ain't it.
Jean (conf.): I feel bad for the people that don't travel for a living. :funny:
Cecilia (conf.): Yea. This is nothing us. We've been to Paris, F.Y.I.
They all boarded the same bus, and left to Commonwealth Park.

Canberra International Airport:
Adolph: Here it is, Juanita. This goes to Australian American Memorial, right?
Bus driver: It stops there, yes.
Adolph: Good!
They waited for the bus to leave, at 4:40am.
Juanita: I cannot believe we are in last right now.

Commonwealth Park:
Cathy: Aren't y'all supposed to be sleeping or doing morning exercises, NOT CELEBRATING A FESTIVAL???
Local: We won't make this easy for you! YAY!!!
Justin: Checking all those gnomes must be aggravating.
Cathy: The children won't share their works with us! :groan:
Stephen & J.T. arrived.
Stephen: Fast Forward! I think we should take it! It's a luck task!
J.T.: Okay!
Stephen (conf.): We weren't thinking thoroughly on the fact that Josh & Sofia probably already searched the CDs. My mind was just focused on winning that time.
J.T. (conf.): And defeating Glorietta. :groan: Bad choice, I must say. But I agreed to it, so it's my fault too.
Stephen: We can walk there.
J.T.: How long would it take?
Stephen: Around 15 minutes.
J.T.: Josh & Sofia probably ran as well.
They left...

National Film and Sound Archive:
Josh & Sofia arrived, found a marked CD player, and began playing CDs.
Sofia (conf.): It was MASSIVE! Extremely MASSIVE!
Josh (conf.): We thought it would take forever, but we just did it.
Sofia: There's the gnome.
Josh: We take it once we find the right CD.
They played a few CDs, with no luck.
Sofia: This is the most defeaning thing I've ever done.
Josh: I am not listening to music anymore.
Sofia: Are you serious?
Josh: No. :neener:
Sofia: :res:
No luck yet...

Commonwealth Park:
Justin: CATHY!
Cathy: WHAT?
Justin: I think we're still the only team here!
Cathy: That's what you're telling me?! Ridiculous!
Justin: Is there a problem?
Cathy: Nothing! Just keep looking!
Cathy (conf.): Seriously, it was mayhem there. Kids were running around, and tons of people were playing with and painting the gnomes.
Justin (conf.): It was a good distraction. Good job to the person that created it. :tup:
Then...
Cathy: AH HA!!!
Justin: Woo! Good job!
Cathy: It says...Find the National Museum of Australia for your next clue.
Phil: Teams must now find this museum for their next clue.


They searched for the bus, and quickly found one going to the museum, the bus Cecilia & Jean, Mary-Jean & Josephine, and Glorietta & Arnold took to the park.
Glorietta: Oi! They just finished whatever left them there!
Cecilia: What task?
Justin: VERY DIFFICULT! Finding a gnome, amongst all that chaos!
Cathy: There's also a Fast Forward! I think Stephen & J.T. went for it.
Glorietta: Gosh, we are taking the Fast Forward! Let's go, Arnold!
Justin & Cathy left for the museum while the three teams read the clue.
Glorietta: I hope we beat them!
Arnold: Madame, do you know what's the best way to get to this place?
Local: Bus.
Arnold: Thanks! Where?
The local points to the right place.
Glorietta: Thanks. ;D
Jean: Roadblock! Who is having a colourful travel experience?
Cecilia: Sounds like a Travelocity slogan, alright. I'm doing it. I am having so much fun. :snicker:
Mary-Jean: I will do it.
Josephine: Good luck.
Cecilia and Mary-Jean began searching.
Cecilia: This just more than a luck task!
Mary-Jean: I hate these tasks. :groan:
Cecilia: This is the most hectic thing I have ever done!
Mary-Jean: Us can-can dancers do many beer drinking. :lol:
Cecilia (whispering): Eew...
They kept looking at the gnomes.
Mary-Jean (conf.): They said Mr. Gnome could be painted other colours because of the paintings the people have done as part of its tradition. I didn't know Mr. Gnome could change from his iconic and famed blue coat. :lol:
Cecilia (conf.): The most annoying part of the task were the kids. They were noisy and wouldn't let me take a look at the gnomes. I couldn't picture the face of the gnome well since I don't know much about it so I just look at the bottom of every of them to make sure.
A few minutes later...
Cecilia: There, easy as that.
Jean: That's quick!
Josephine: Aw...Time to bid farewell.
Jean: Good luck, girls!
Cecilia: Find the National Museum of Australia...
Cecilia & Jean: ACTION bus... :res: :res:
They found the bus and left.
Mary-Jean: They are such a lucky team. Wow...Their luck is really too good.
Josephine: Don't stop!
Mary-Jean: I'm continuing on, Josephine! Just be patient on this!
A kid splashed dirty paint on her dress, a HUGE splash.
Mary-Jean: OH!!! HEY! HOW DARE YOU-(is cut off)
Josephine: :ascared Leave him, M.J.!
The kid started crying on the spot. Mary-Jean left him and continued looking.
Mary-Jean: My best sporting clothes, stained!

National Museum of Australia:
The bus stopped at the museum and Justin & Cathy exited to get their clue.
Justin: Detour! Banquet or Bank It!
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 dizzying tasks. Banquet or Bank It.
In Banquet, teams must make their way to the Black Mountain Tower. There, they must go up to the revolving restaurant and while revolving, must eat an Australian delicacy, Macademia nuts. They must eat a whole lot of these before retrieving their next clue from the revolving waitress. This task doesn't appear to take up a lot of time, but teams easily distracted by the dizziness and lack of fine dining might feel the need to quit.

In Bank It, teams must go to the Royal Australian Mint. They will not eat mint, since this is the place where coins are being made, and they aren't making coins either. They will have to COUNT coins and get its total amount. Once they got their guess right in USD, they will be handed their next clue. This task appears to be difficult and frustrating as seen from past races. But teams with the determination to break this ongoing curse may be honoured forever.


Justin: Nuts? No, let's not do this. I hate legumes. Let's go do Bank It. I like money.
Cathy: Erm...Okay. We have the lead so let's stay calm on this task.
They found a bus going to the mint.

National Film and Sound Archive:
A team arrived for the Fast Forward.
Josh: We have another team.
CD Player: *BEEP*
Josh: Wrong.
Sofia: Keep trying.
CD Player: *BEEP*
Glorietta: :yess: He's not here yet!
Arnold: Stephen?
Glorietta: Yes.
Arnold: But if Josh & Sofia wins this, you and Stephen lose. So... :duno: Let's start!
Glorietta: OH shoot! You're right!
Josh: If you guys are wondering, we are not gonna give up this Fast Forward for you. :lol:
Arnold: Understood. :funny:
They all continued having problems.

National Museum of Australia:
Cecilia: Detour! Banquet or Bank It!
Jean: Let's do Bank It! The coins, we can imagine them as poker chips!
Cecilia: That's a GOOD thought! Yes, we are doing Bank It!

Commonwealth Park:
Josephine waited...and...waited...and...waited...until...
Mary-Jean: OH! I found one! :wohoo: Girl, can you give me Mr. Gnome, please?
Girl: Um...Okay?
Mary-Jean: Thank you, dear! :hearts: Don't give your other Mr. Gnome to anyone else, okay?
Girl: Okay. It is mine, now.
Mary-Jean: :kuss:
Mary-Jean reunited with her partner.
Josephine: Good job, Mary-Jean!
Mary-Jean: That really was colourful and splashy. :lol:
Josephine: That splash was humongous!
Mary-Jean: I smell like burnt plastic now.
Josephine: We'll wash that off...Find the National Museum of Australia for your next clue.
They took time finding a bus, but found one nonetheless heading to their next destination.

National Film and Sound Archive:
Stephen & J.T. arrived to their shock.
Stephen: How did SHE get here???
Locals: SSHHH!! SSHHH!!
Stephen (whispering): Drats!
J.T.: They must've taken a bus.
Glorietta: We can do this.
All three teams frantically searched the CDs. Beep, after beep, after beep, after beep, after beep, they all kept trying...

Bank It:
Cathy: Is this the Royal Australian Mint?
Local: Yes, it is.
Cathy: Oh, there are the signs for the Detour.
They were led to the Bank It site, and they started counting coins.
Justin: So after this we convert them to United States Dollars?
Cathy: Yup.
Justin: We keep 'em?
Cathy: Nope.
Justin: Oh well. Would've been nicer. :lol:
They started counting, having a bit of confusion.

Australian American Memorial:
The final ACTION bus to the memorial that contained a team arrived and Adolph & Juanita found their clue.
Adolph: Proceed to Commonwealth Park!
Juanita: It's kind of lonely, it is so early in the morning!
Adolph: I sure wish to see many people so we could ask for help easily.
They found a bus to the park.

National Film and Sound Archive:
CD Player: *BEEP*
Sofia: Ugh!
CD Player: *BEEP*
J.T.: Unbelievable!
CD Player: *BEEP*
Stephen: Come on, where's my luck?
CD Player: *BEEP*
Josh: Dangit...
CD Player: ....................................................*BEEP*
Glorietta (sighing): Try, try again...
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *CONGRATULATIONS!*
Arnold: :ascared
Stephen:
Josh: (: (: (:
Sofia:
J.T.: :groan: :groan: :groan:
Glorietta:
Sofia: Oh...my...gosh...I won it...........YESSSS!!!!
Sofia grabbed the Travelocity Gnome.
Stephen: NO! Now we need to go back!
Glorietta: Darn it! This was a bad decision!
Arnold: Yup, indeed it was.
J.T.: Dangit, Stephen!
Glorietta: Sorry, babe!
Glorietta (conf.): It was a horrible, horrible choice. Shouldn't've gone for it...
Stephen: Don't worry, we can still beat them.
Glorietta: I am SO worried!
The two teams found the same bus going backwards, to the park.
Josh: Awesome job, baby! :kuss: :kuss: :kuss:
Sofia: Okay, okay! Stop it! :flirt: Now...Congratulations! You have won the Fast Forward! Now make your way to the next Pitstop! Australian War Memorial! Hurry! The last team to check-in may be eliminated!
Phil: Having won the Fast Forward, Josh & Sofia can now skip all remaining tasks and proceed directly to the Pitstop, Australian War Memorial. This national memorial honouring the members of the armed forces and supporting organisations who have died for their country in the wars of the Commonwealth of Australia, is the Pitstop for this leg of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.


Sofia: All these locations we've visited in Canberra are so related to wars makes me realized why Canberra is less known than Sydney, Melbourne, or Alice Springs!
Josh: Yea. I thought they'd pick a bigger capital, but they're going for the war city.
Sofia: Fits Justin & Cathy.
They found a bus to the memorial and headed.

Bank It:
Cathy: I've piled them.
Justin: Me too.
They started counting, minutes later, Cecilia & Jean arrived.
Cecilia: Our friends!
Cathy: Oh yea. Long time no talk.
Jean: Hehe.
Cecilia: This will be fun.
Cecilia & Jean began piling coins very efficiently.
Cathy:
Justin:
Cathy (conf.): We didn't expect Cecilia & Jean to do the coin piling so quickly. We're getting more suspicious of them.
Cecilia (conf.): We definitely shocked the soldiers. :funny: That was fantastic.
Jean (conf.): We did the task pretty well and pretty quickly. :snicker:

National Museum of Australia:
Mary-Jean & Josephine arrived.
Josephine: Detour! Banquet or Bank It!
Mary-Jean: If only we have the map to find out which is nearer. :groan:
Josephine: Oh yea! We haven't done anything with the map.
Mary-Jean: We are so forgetful! Let's do Banquet!
Josephine: Okay.
They got directions and a bus to Black Mountain Tower.

Australian War Memorial-Pitstop:
Sofia: Lift me up again, Josh!
Josh: Sure!
Sofia: :kuss:

Greeter: Hiya! Welcome to Canberra, Australia.
Sofia: G'day!
Josh: Hiya!
Phil: :lol: Josh & Sofia, you, are team number...1!
Sofia: FINALLY!
Josh: Yes! We're out of bad luck!
Phil: :lol: Give me that gnome.
Sofia: Here, Phil!
Phil: Now...As winners of this leg of the race, you have won 2,500USD each and a trip for two to.........................Aruba!
Josh & Sofia: WOO!!
Phil: Enjoy the sunny beaches of Aruba, luxurious activities, roomy rooms and spacious beds, go sunbathing and bush walking.
Sofia: :wohoo: I love it! We picked the best time to go for the Fast Forward!!
Phil: So...no more fourth place?
Josh: That's gone now, Phil! GONE!
Phil: Great job!
Sofia: This rocks! I am so happy! :yess:

Commonwealth Park:
Juanita: Roadblock! Who's having a colourful travel experience?
Adolph: You do.
Juanita: Okay.
Glorietta: OH! There's Adolph & Juanita!
Juanita: Oh wow! We caught up!
Juanita began searching for the gnome.
Juanita: I have to finish this first.
Arnold: I'll do this! We have to catch up!
J.T.: You do this, you better not lose!
Stephen: I won't!!!
All three of them began searching, the members not doing the Roadblock hoped for them and prayed.

Bank It:
Cecilia: Okay, now convert it!
Cathy: Let's convert it now...
They both checked their answers after converting to USD. One got it right, one wrong.
Justin: Dammit!!!
Cathy: Ha?
Jean: :yess: Bye guys!
Cecilia: Make your way to the next Pitstop! Australian War Memorial! Hurry! The last team to check-in may be eliminated!
Jean: Let's go!
Cathy: Ugh...
Justin: How can our lead be gone because of this task??? That is so unlucky!!!

Banquet:
Mary-Jean & Josephine found the restaurant and seated at a marked desk.
Waitress: Here's your dish.
She revealed...TONS of Macadamia nuts!
Josephine: WOAH!
Mary-Jean: Hey! That's a lot!
Waitress: Good luck!
Josephine:
Mary-Jean: Let's just do it.
Josephine: Oh...my...word...
They began eating, slowly...

Commonwealth Park:
Juanita: Hmm...
Stephen: All this noise is killing me...
Arnold: Ah ha! Oh yea! I found one! Glorietta!
Glorietta: :hearts: Great job!
Juanita:
Stephen: (:
Arnold: National Museum of Australia.
They left for the museum.
Juanita: Dangit. Fighting for last now...

Bank It:
Cathy: There! It's right!
Justin: Great!
Cathy: Pitstop.

Banquet:
Josephine: My teeth is very crunchy now.
Mary-Jean: Please, don't notify me of your digusts. :groan:
They ate slower and slower, struggling a lot.

National Museum of Australia:
Glorietta: Darling!
Arnold: Detour! Banquet or Bank It!
Glorietta: Let's do Banquet? I don't want any irritating task like Bank It to ruin my day.
Arnold: Okay.
Glorietta: I think that bus is going to the tower.

Commonwealth Park:
Stephen: I am getting more frustrated...
Juanita: Isn't it too early for kids to be up? :ascared Australians must really love this festival...

Banquet:
Glorietta & Arnold arrived.
Josephine: Oh no...
Glorietta: Woah! The view here is so...moving!
Arnold: We can eat nuts! It'll be easy!
They were led to seats near the window.
Glorietta: I want to vomit, look at the view. It's always changing! :groan:
Arnold: Don't panic.
Mary-Jean: Glorietta's gonna puke it.
Waitress: Here is your dish...
Glorietta: OH MY GOSH! NO WAY!!
Arnold: Let's eat this!
Glorietta: First, the always changing scene. Now, the million nuts!?!
Arnold: Are you gonna quit?
Glorietta: Erm...No, we can't. We must do it.
Mary-Jean: Good luck, guys!
Josephine: Yea! ;D

Australian War Memorial-Pitstop:
Greeter: Hiya! Welcome to Canberra, Australia!
Jean: :yess:
Cecilia: Wonderful morning!
Phil: Cecilia & Jean, you, are team number.............2!
Cecilia: :wohoo: More good positions for us!
Phil: You seem to be having so much luck!
Jean: We do! :yess:
Cecilia: We aren't surprised! :yess:
Phil: Do you think you will make it to the end?
Cecilia: We're confident.

Commonwealth Park:
Juanita: Yay!
Adolph: Great job, darling!
J.T.: Where is Stephen??
Stephen: Darn...Where is that gnome? AH! I saw it! Give it to me!
Girl: EEK! NO! IT'S MY GNOME!
Stephen: HEY!! LITTLE GIRL!!
The girl was gone amidst the crowd of children playing.
Stephen: UGH!!!! UGH!!!!
Stephen (conf.): I was getting really impatient.
Stephen: What was wrong with that girl?
Juanita: National Museum of Australia.
J.T.: :ascared

Australian War Memorial-Pitstop:
Phil: Justin & Cathy, you, are team number 3.
Justin & Cathy: :wohoo: :kuss:
Phil: It seems you guys are starting to show your true powers.
Cathy: We expected first because this is our city, we know a lot about Canberra.

Banquet:
Josephine: Done!
Mary-Jean tripped while running to the waiter.
Mary-Jean: Woah...Okay, where am I?
Josephine: Oh my gosh? Memory loss?!?!
Mary-Jean: NO! I know we're in The Amazing Race!
Waitress: Good luck. Stay safe!
Mary-Jean: Yea. Thanks. I feel so disoriented right now.
Josephine: These tasks are killers. Let's go back out!
Mary-Jean: Pitstop!
Josephine: Great! We do not have a map!
Mary-Jean: Let's just ask.
Arnold: Keep going.
Glorietta: I cannot...All because of the view.
Arnold: Just close your eyes.
Glorietta (conf.): The Macadamia nuts weren't that bad, but the remains they make in your mouth plus the dizzying restaurant makes me want to throw up. I had a hard time pushing that down.
Glorietta: I can still feel me moving though. I have a headache now...

National Museum of Australia:
Adolph: Banquet or Bank It!
Juanita: Banquet! I tried Macadamia nuts! They're delicious!
Adolph: Okay!

Banquet:
Adolph & Juanita arrived and were led to their seats and began eating.
Juanita: This is yummy.
Juanita (conf.): I didn't even bother the revolving restaurant. I don't think of it, so I'm not aware I'm getting myself dizzy.
Glorietta: Arnold, you do the rest. I want to just rest my eyes now.

Australian War Memorial-Pitstop:
Phil: Mary-Jean & Josephine, you, are team number 4.
Josephine: Yahoo!
Mary-Jean: Even without a map, we rock!
Phil: I see. What I don't see, if your friends, Cecilia & Jean.
Mary-Jean: Yah. They have to leave us at the Roadblock. We're okay with it. ;D We hope to get together with them again soon.
Phil: Oh, so you believe it's still strong?
Mary-Jean: Of course!

Commonwealth Park:
Stephen: There it is! Thanks, kid!
Boy: ;D
J.T.: Finally!
Stephen: Sorry!
J.T.: We're probably out now.
Stephen: Sorry!
They left for the museum.

National Museum of Australia:
J.T.: There it is!
Stephen: Cool museum. :colors:
J.T.: No time for that!
Stephen: Okay, okay, J.T.!
J.T.: Detour! Banquet or Bank It! Man, if we can eat grubs, we can eat nuts!
Stephen: Banquet then? I was hoping for Bank It.
J.T.: The last time you did something of your choice, it went terribly wrong!
Stephen: Not my fault! Fine! We'll do Banquet!
J.T.: Besides, remember the spinning challenge back in Tocantins? That was way worse than this, probably!
Stephen: Let's head to the tower, then!

Banquet:
Glorietta: How're they doing?
Arnold: Um...They're faster than us now.
Glorietta: Oh...I still don't wanna look up.
Arnold: I understand.
Stephen & J.T. then arrived.
Arnold: Red alert! Your rival's here!
Glorietta: Oh, gosh. I don't even care anymore...
Stephen: Look! Glorietta's sick to her stomach! We can overtake her!
J.T.: Just eat!
The three teams minus Glorietta ate...and ate...and ate...one finished first.
Adolph: DONE!
Juanita: Clue!
Waitress: Here you go! ;D
Adolph: Pitstop! Australian War Memorial! Hurry! The last team to check-in may be eliminated!
Juanita: Are we gonna take the bus?
Adolph: Anything! As long as we aren't last!
Juanita: Of course!
They headed down.
Arnold: Now, I am worried.
Arnold (conf.): It was a scary moment. We were in last.
Stephen: Oh no, keep eating...

On their way to Australian War Memorial:
Adolph: Where's the bus?
Juanita: We need to wait.
They waited for a few minutes before the bus arrived.
Juanita: Does this stop at Australian War Memorial?
Driver: Oh no! This is the opposite way! The stop is there!
Juanita: Oh okay! Thanks!
Adolph: The bus just left!!! NO!!
Juanita: No way! Ano now?
Adolph (in English accent): Hindi ko alam!
Juanita: We have to wait. :groan: Why are we having such bad luck today?

Banquet:
J.T.: Finished!
Arnold: I am done!
Glorietta: Really? Great, let's go!
The two teams raced to outside.

On their way to Australian War Memorial:
Adolph: Come on...
Juanita: Here's the bus.
Stephen: We can catch it!!
Arnold: Run fast, Glorietta!
And they...............................................................did..........................................................not........................................................miss it!
Glorietta: AH!!!
Driver: We're going!
Juanita: Drats!
J.T.: Whew!
The three teams are heading to the Pitstop!!!!
J.T. (conf.): It was an intense moment three teams fighting to avoid elimination are at the same bus going to the Pitstop and all was needed now was footwork to avoid elimination.

Australian War Memorial-Pitstop:
The bus dropped the three teams off...FOOTRACE!!!
Phil: OH! Here goes the three teams!!!
Greeter: Oh? Oh my!
Phil:
Glorietta: AHH!! RUN!!!
Juanita: That stupid bus driver! He stopped me for money!
J.T.: Come on, Stevo!
Stephen: I'm running!!
They ran!! FOOTRACE!!!!!
Greeter: Hiya...Welcome to Canberra, Australia.
Glorietta, Juanita, and Stephen:
Phil: What a photo finish. Well............................................................Stephen & J.T., you, are team number...................................................5!
Stephen: YES!!!! :yess:
J.T.: STILL IN IT!!!
Adolph: Oh no! So one of us is last!
Glorietta and Juanita:
Glorietta: Start praying...
Arnold: Yea...
Juanita: We're praying too...
Glorietta: None of our business...
Juanita: :ascared
Phil: Team number 6 goes to...............................................................................Glorietta & Arnold.
Glorietta: NO!! Oh, YES!!!
Adolph & Juanita:
Juanita: Aww...We were first out of the Detour...
Adolph: It's okay. We had fun.
Phil: Adolph & Juanita, you, are team number 7. You are the last team to arrive.
Juanita: We did the best we could. We're happy.
Phil: How's it feel to be the last team of the bottom six eliminated?
Adolph: So close to top six, but oh well. We've had our time.
Phil: Mm hm..................Well, unfortunately, this is the first Non-Elimination Leg of the race!
Juanita: Oh...wow...
Glorietta and Stephen:
Phil: Yes, that's right.
Juanita: I want to kiss you right now, Phil!
Adolph: I want to kiss you too, Phil!!!!!!!
Phil: But with good news, comes the bad news. During the next leg of the race, you will encounter a Speedbump, an extra task that only your team must perform. Can you handle it?
Juanita: We are not giving away this rare second chance. We'll do our best.

Adolph (conf.): We've been given a new life with the first NEL. The Amazing Race Gods really gave luck to us.
Juanita (conf.): We will do our best to survive the next leg. We won't miss it.
