Episode 8 - A Deep Prayer Sounds Good Right Now.
Previously on RealShowFan's The Amazing Race 2...Seven teams continued their journey down under, taking buses west, to Mildura.
J.T.: Take a bus to Mildura!
Glorietta: Once there, find Apex Park...
At the bus station, Cecilia & Jean revealed their connivance when Mary-Jean & Josephine spotted them sabotaging their game.
Josephine: STOP!
Mary-Jean (conf.): It's a shocking revelation.
Josephine: Thanks for leaving us.
Some physically weaker teams struggled to stay afloat...
Arnold: It's hard!
Jean: I need a life vest.
While J.T. soared high in the Roadblock...
J.T.: Got it!
Only to find an Hours of Operation, which proved to be a challenge for the poker players.
Cecilia: Ugh...What the hell...
J.T.: This is nothing compared to Survivor.
Teams were given the chance to appreciate Australia's gift of nature, just to find themselves struggling for good accuracy...
Cathy: Come on...Ugh...ugh...ugh!!
Jean: Dang!
Or brute arm strength.
Stephen: Keep rowing!
After the Detour, Mary-Jean & Josephine decided it's payback time for the sneaky poker players.
Josephine: We need our revenge somehow!
Jean: HEY!!!!
Adolph & Juanita frantically search for one wine glass among a million in hopes of making up the valuable lost time.
Juanita: I don't want to get eliminated drunk.
After all this, the biggest shocker of the leg must be the surprise Double Elimination.
Stephen: The last TWO teams to check-in WILL be eliminated!!!
Mary-Jean & Josephine: WHAAAATT!!!?!
In the end, Stephen & J.T. finally pulled off a win, ending the all-male teams' streak of not checking-in first in a leg.
Stephen: Yay, we rock as males!
Adolph & Juanita were the sad victims of the surprise elimination...
Juanita: Bummer.
And Cecilia & Jean, too, fell by the wayside.
Phil: Cecilia & Jean, you're the last team to arrive.
FIVE TEAMS REMAIN!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT???
Phil: This is Mildura. An underrated city in the Victoria region, it is home to the largest inland beach of the country, famous for its popularity of caravans and wine. Attracting the hospitality of the city, Irymple Hotel Motel. This is where the seventh Pitstop in a race around the world is at. 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 Stephen & J.T. be able to maintain their newfound lead? Can Glorietta & Arnold catch up to the other teams, or will they continue to be just one placement ahead of one team. Stephen & J.T., who were the first team to arrive at 8:18am, will depart at 8:18pm.
First To Depart: 8:18pmJ.T.: Where are we going today?
Stephen: Let's rip!
J.T.: Fly to Darwin, still in Australia.
Stephen: Australia?? We're staying for longer?
Phil: Teams must now fly north to Darwin, a city named after Charles Darwin himself.
Once there, they have to drive themselves to Charles Darwin National Park.
J.T.: We don't worry about that. Let's worry about finding out how to get to the airport.
Stephen: Don't worry, we have a twenty-two-minute lead.
J.T. (conf.): Being the first all-male team to ever win a leg, is an honour.
Stephen (conf.): In RTAR's perspective.
J.T. (conf.): Boys, you better be humbled.
J.T.: Let's go to the hotel and ask anyone there, shall we?
Stephen: Great idea.
Stephen (conf.): We're getting down to the wire now. And RTAR's very own twists are just going at our faces when we least expect them.
They entered the hotel and managed to find out how to get to the airport.
Stephen: We're taking a bus. The stop is kind of far from here though, so we'll stay here first and check up online flight tickets.
J.T.: So...what do we have here?
At 8:28pm, they decided to leave.
Stephen: The best flight we could find leaves tomorrow.
J.T.: In other words, we're sleeping for tonight in the airport.
Stephen: It arrives at 3:30pm.
Second To Depart: 8:30pmSofia: Fly to Darwin, still in Australia. Goodie! Once there, grab a car and find Charles Darwin National Park.
Josh: You have $0 for this leg of the race.
Sofia: That's crappy.
Sofia (conf.): We would never thought to make it this far. There are two more eliminations until three teams battle for a million dollars. We want that cash.
Josh (conf.): And now we can smell it. It smells good...
Sofia: Alright, let's go, baby.
They found out where to go.
Third To Depart 8:39pmJosephine: Fly to Darwin.
Mary-Jean: When are we going to Sydney???
Fourth To Depart: 8:40pmCathy: Uhm...Never been to Darwin before...
Justin: Me neither.
Justin (conf.): Our goal now besides winning this whole damn thing, is to get the rude dancers out of the running.
Cathy (conf.): They are too threatening and we can't really trust them. No matter how sweet they look.
Cathy: Let's search for flights first. The bus stop is that way.
They entered the hotel to search for flights.
Mary-Jean: Where are the soldiers?
Josephine: Don't know, don't care.
Josephine (conf.): We're looking after ourselves now, after what happened.
Mary-Jena (conf.): We're not here to talk to anyone and make friends anymore, and we've never been.
Josephine (conf.): We will get another all-female team to win RealShowFan's The Amazing Race.
Last To Depart: 8:47pmArnold: You have $0 for this leg of the race.
Glorietta: Hmph.
Glorietta (conf.): For the third straight time in a row, we barely survived Philimination.
Arnold (conf.): We're running short, we need to catch up big time.
Glorietta (conf.): Umm.........Was that a pun?
Arnold (conf.): Oh!
I didn't mean to insult us!
They decided to head straight to the airport.
Inside Irymple Hotel Motel:Cathy: The best flight we could find is a Qantas flight. But it departs tomorrow and lands at 2pm.
Justin: It's a good gamble to not head directly to the airport.
Cathy: Yeah, baby.
Justin: D'you want to reserve this?
Cathy: Yes, sure.
They reserved seats on the flight.
Cathy: Let's go.
Bus Station:Stephen & J.T. and Josh & Sofia arrived there first.
Stephen: We hope a bus comes here before the others come.
Josh: We also wish the bus we'll be in is the last bus of the day.
Sofia: Don't be so harsh, Josh.
Josh: Just saying...
At 9pm, a minute after Mary-Jean & Josephine arrived......the bus hasn't arrived.
Mary-Jean: Okay, now this is just gonna kill our chances to survive.
Sofia: This obviously can't be another Double Elimination Leg, can't it?
Stephen: Nope, unless they either end this season only after ten days or have numerous more To Be Continued legs.
Sofia: Glorietta & Arnold arrived at 9:07pm.
Sofia: Where's Justin & Cathy.
Josephine: Crashed into something, I hope. Just kidding!
Sofia: I know you were.
Arnold: Well, we're in a bunch again.
Arnold (conf.): Kind of happy to see everyone together again. We wanted an equalizer so badly.
Josephine: When's the bus coming in?
Glorietta: Do you think Justin & Cathy have found a way to get to the airport earlier?
Sofia: Naawwwwww...
Glorietta: Well, one of them has visited this place before.
Sofia: Really?
Mary-Jean: Mind as well win this leg already, then.
At around 9:30pm.....................................................................................Justin & Cathy arrived.
J.T.: Dang...
J.T. (conf.): And that was the end of our lead.
Thirty minutes later, a bus finally arrived when most of the team members lost hope of a bus arriving.
Justin: Well, we're all here.
Arnold: All aboard to Mildura Airport!
Mildura Airport:They all arrived and dashed for a counter, only to be told it's closed.
J.T.: Well we knew it was comin'.
Cathy (whispering to Justin): Lucky we knew the earliest flight.
Justin nodded.
Arnold: Ma'am, is there any place where we can use Internet service? Please...
Lady: I'm sorry, sir, but it's closed for tonight.
Glorietta: Please, please, please, we're begging you.
Lady: I'm sorry, I can't do anything.
Glorietta: Well, time to camp out.
They all slept at wherever they wanted.
Day 9, 3AM @ Mildura Airport:After everyone has waken up and prepared themselves, they raced to the Internet service area. All except two teams.
Qantas Counter:J.T.: Okay!
Counter worker: How may I serve you?
J.T.: We would like two tickets to Darwin. The earliest possible.
Counter worker: Okay......It's 2pm.
J.T.: 2pm?
Counter worker: Yes. It arrives at 2pm, I mean.
Stephen: Wow, it's an hour earlier than the one we found.
Cathy: Quick, guys. We're getting on that flight too.
J.T.: Okay, two tickets for that please. The frontmost one.
Counter worker: Sure thing......There you go.
Stephen: Awesome.
Justin & Cathy got the same thing.
Cathy: How many more seats?
Counter worker: Unfortunately, just one.
Cathy: Oh! Yes!
Justin: Good job!
Internet Service Area:Keyboard hits and mouse clicks are heard all around the room on three different computers. After minutes of searching...
Arnold: Let's just go with this one.
Glorietta: 2pm? Okay.
Qantas Counter:Counter worker: Good morning, what do you need?
Arnold: We want two tickets to Darwin arriving at 2pm.
Counter worker: 2pm...
Glorietta: That's the earliest, right?
Counter worker: Yes, it is...but I only have space for one.
Arnold: What?
Glorietta: Can't you put us on standby.
Counter worker: Hmm...I'll look into that............................Okay, you're on standby.
Glorietta: We really need those tickets, miss.
Arnold: What's the next flight to arrive at Darwin?
Counter worker: Let me look...
By that time, Josh & Sofia had arrived.
Counter worker: 3:30pm is the next available flight, departs at 9am.
Arnold: 'Kay. Reserve seats for us on that.
Counter worker: Okay...Is that all?
Glorietta: Thank you!
Josh & Sofia received the same bad news.
Sofia: Oh crap.
Josh: What the next earliest flight?
Counter worker: Departs at 9am, arrives at 3:30pm.
Sofia: Hmm...That could be a huge deciding difference.
Josh: We will have to take it. The first one is extremely full.
Sofia: Sigh...Okay.
Minutes later, Mary-Jean & Josephine got the 9am tickets.
Josephine: Time to rest.
Mary-Jean: We have five more hours to spare.
They all waited and waited...
Glorietta: I want to get on that flight so much.
Arnold: Just keep praying, Glorietta...
At 7:50am, as Stephen & J.T. and Justin & Cathy left to board the plane...
Voice-over: Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher, please go to the Qantas Airlines counter.
Glorietta: Oh my gosh! That's us!
Arnold: Let's go!
Mary-Jean: I wonder what's going on.
At the counter...
Counter worker: The flight has been delayed by five minutes. A couple who reserved spots apparently may not make it. So, you have tickets now.
Glorietta: Oh my Lord! Thank you so much!
Arnold: Yes!
Arnold (conf.): Light definitely shone upon us.
Glorietta (conf.): We're so blessed.
At 8am, the first flight departed.
Sofia: Where's Glorietta & Arnold?
Josh: No way...Don't tell me they took an earlier flight.
At 9am, the two remaining teams left for Darwin.
Phil: All teams are now on two separate flights to Darwin, Australia. The first flight, arriving at 2pm, carries Stephen & J.T., Justin & Cathy, and Glorietta & Arnold. The second flight, arriving an hour and a half later, carries Josh & Sofia and Mary-Jean & Josephine.
Darwin International Airport:The first flight had arrived. The three teams quickly searched for the car space.
Justin: Cathy! Over here!
Order of finding their cars was...Justin & Cathy, Stephen & J.T., and Glorietta & Arnold.
Cathy: What does it say on the map?
Justin: Keep driving, I'll direct you.
Glorietta: Oh, honey, there's a shortcut.
Arnold: Let's take it!
Glorietta: Woo!
Charles Darwin National Park:Two minutes later...
Arnold: This is it, right?
Glorietta: Probably.
Arnold: There's our clue.
Glorietta: Good...Detour! On Foot or On Wheels!
Phil: A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams will endure the tiring side of Darwin while experiencing the wondrous wildlife of the city. Their chocie: On Foot or On Wheels.
In On Foot, teams must complete this walking trail. Their clue will be waiting for them at the end of the route. This task will be very strenuous, but teams with the endurance can walk away safe.
In On Wheels, teams mountain bike along another trail, which is maintained by the Darwin Off-Road Cyclists Club. Once done, they will receive their next clue at the end of the route. A bike is the faster transport, but teams that don't know how to ride one on a rocky terrain in this very long path will have their life in the game tumbling down.
Glorietta: Which one do you want?
Arnold: This task is not for us. I'm not a good biker.
Glorietta: Neither am I.
Arnold: And it's dangerous. But we're just not good walkers either.
Glorietta: Let's just walk.
Arnold: Okay. We're doing On Foot.
They were led and began walking. Two minutes later...
Cathy: Detour! On Foot or On Wheels!
Justin: Let's do On Wheels.
Cathy: Yup.
Justin: Ooh...Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Phil: This is the only U-Turn in the entire race. If a team is U-Turned, they must return to the Detour site and do the other side of the Detour before continuing on with the race.
Cathy: Let's hurry!
Justin: I think we're first though!
On Foot:Guide: Here's the start of the trail. Just follow your route markers. Good luck, mate!
Glorietta: Thanks.
Arnold: Hopefully this is the right choice.
Glorietta: I think we're gonna need a bigger bottle of water.
They ran first.
Charles Darwin National Park:Stephen: This is it.
J.T.: This is gorgeous.
Stephen: Doh, there's our clue...Detour! On Foot or On Wheels!
J.T.: I'm okay with either, which one would you prefer?
Stephen: Hmm...Well we can outrun a lot of the teams, can't we?
J.T.: Sure we can.
Stephen: Okay. Let's do On Foot. By the way, there's a U-Turn ahead!
J.T.: If we can use it, let's not use it on Glorietta & Arnold, please. They will most likely struggle with both Detours.
On Foot:Arnold: Keep it up, honey.
Glorietta did not say a thing, just taking deep breaths.
Glorietta (conf.): Oh boy...That was a long walk.
They continued walking, Glorietta lagging behind.
On Wheels:Cathy: Okay! This is it, ain't it?
Guide: Aye.
Justin: Okay, let's go!
They get geared up and started biking.
Cathy: Come on, Justin, we can do better than this.
They sped up.
On Foot:Stephen: This is it.
J.T.: Let's go.
Stephen: Let's see what surprise awaits us.
On Wheels:Justin & Cathy were the first to complete their Detour.
Cathy: Yes! We did it!
Justin: I think we're first.
Cathy: U-Turn...
Justin & Cathy gave each other different expressions.
Cathy: Do you want to use it on anybody?
Justin: Either Stephen & J.T. or Mary-Jean & Josephine...
Cathy: Mmhm...But Stephen & J.T. might have taken the other Detour and completed it already.
Justin: So!
Cathy: Sorry, ladies. But we're avenging our friends.
Justin: Next clue says...Route Info: Drive to the Hidden Valley Raceway.
Phil: Teams must now find the Hidden Valley Raceway, a race track used as the sixth round of the V8 Supercar series. It's here where teams will find their next clue.
Justin: Time for some more speed!
Justin & Cathy headed back to the entrance to their car. After they got there, they drove off.
Justin: It's here on the map, so we're good to go.
On Foot:Three-quarters of the way through, Stephen & J.T. caught up to Glorietta & Arnold.
J.T.: Hey, y'all.
Glorietta: Oh no...
Please, please, please, por favor, don't U-Turn us!
Stephen: We won't, but we'll still beat you.
Arnold: Don't burst, dear, let's not beat them, we don't want to be threats in their eyes.
Glorietta: Okay, I did promise. I'm tired anyways.
Stephen & J.T. overtook Glorietta & Arnold.
Hidden Valley Raceway:Justin & Cathy arrived at the raceway and found their clue.
Cathy: Roadblock...Who is the aerodynamic one?
Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one member must complete. In this Roadblock, that team member must engage in a rush-paced journey around this raceway. After getting suited up and picking a car, they must drive a lap across the raceway under three minutes. If they succeed, they may proceed with their next clue. If they fail to do so, they must keep trying until they get it.
Cathy: You should do this.
Justin: Great!
Justin got ready.
A few minutes later...
Justin: 'Kay! I'm ready!
Helper: Good luck.
Justin: Thanks.
Cathy: Go honey!!
Race starter: Three minutes start...........................NOW!!!
Justin is off.
On Foot:Stephen & J.T. were already far ahead of Glorietta & Arnold.
J.T.: Stevo, apparently, the soldiers have U-Turned the dancers!
Stephen: Weird...Drive to Hidden Valley Raceway.
J.T.: Let's go!
Stephen: My legs are burning like hot iron!
They went to their cars and drove off.
Hidden Valley Raceway:Justin (conf.): That was a cool ride!
Cathy: Go! So close!
Justin: YEEEEAAAAHHH!!!
Race starter: Time......two minutes and fourty-two seconds! Clear!
Justin: Yes!
Race starter: Congrats! Here's your clue!
Cathy: Yay honey!
Justin: That was fun...Drive to the next Pitstop!!! The Sports Field in Durack Road. Hurry! The last team to check-in may be eliminated!
Cathy: Woot!
Phil: Teams must now drive to their next Pitstop, this Sports Field. This field, where throughout the history, sportsmen and sports lovers go to play, is the Pitstop for this leg of the race. The last team to check-in here may be eliminated.
Cathy: Let's go!
Justin: I think we're first.
On Foot:Glorietta: Please, please, please.........Phew.
Arnold: Fortunately, our heated conflict is gone, but now, we have Justin against M.J.
Glorietta: Good luck gals!
Arnold: Hidden Valley Raceway...
Glorietta: We have to go back?
They headed back and drove off.
Hidden Valley Raceway:Stephen & J.T. arrived.
Stephen: Who is the aerodynamic one?
J.T.: What is that?
Stephen: It means something like...fast.
J.T.: Then I supposed that person has to drive the car.
Stephen: You should do it.
J.T.: Okay.
J.T. prepared.
J.T.: I'm ready!
Helper: Good luck.
J.T.: You'll be right here?
Helper: Yes, in case something happens.
Race starter: Three minutes start..........................................NOW!!
J.T. drove off.
Stephen: J.T. is driving like a jet plane! No wonder they call you Jet!
After he crossed the line...
Race starter: Time taken is........................two minutes and twenty-five seconds! Pass!
J.T.: Yeah!
Race starter: Here is your clue!
Stephen: Awesome job, man!
J.T.: Read the clue.
Stephen: Pitstop! We're going to Durack Road. Let me do the work. Great job, man!
J.T.: It wasn't too bad. In fact, it was really great.
Sports Field-Pitstop:A car pulled over.
Cathy: Yay!
Greeter: Hello, I'm netball professional Liz Ellis. Welcome to Darwin, Australia.
Cathy: We love this country.
Phil: Justin & Cathy, you, are team number.............................1!Cathy: Alrighty.
Justin: Awesome, honey.
Phil: As winners for this leg of the race, you have won a trip for two from, of course...
Justin & Cathy: Travelocity!
Phil: To Sydney, Australia!
Cathy: Wow! Yay!
Phil: You will spend four days and three nights at a luxurious hotel. Visit the Great Barrier Reef while you're at it, and of course, the famed Sydney Opera House, and many more. Congrats!
Cathy: Our I think second win?
Justin: This time without a Fast Forward.
Phil: Now that this game is getting down to the wire, are you more or less nervous that the other teams will suddenly increase the competition. Not that it hasn't increased yet, of course it has, with all the conflicts I've seen.
Justin: It's definitely becoming more cutthroat.
Cathy: But we're ready for it. Bring it on.
Phil: Haha. I'm glad you are.
Hidden Valley Raceway:Glorietta & Arnold arrived.
Arnold: Roadblock! Who is the aerodynamic one?
Glorietta: Uhh...I don't feel good about this.
Arnold: Honey! I've done five already! If I do this, you will be doing all of the remaining Roadblocks!
Glorietta: Uhmm...Oh dear......
Arnold: Come on, dear. Decide. Just remember the possible consequences.
Glorietta: What if I have to go into a sports car??
Arnold: They won't let you crash.
Glorietta: Hmm...Okay, I'll do it.
Arnold: Good luck.
Glorietta: Oh shoot, I have to do it...and under time limit.
Arnold: Just try your best, honey.
Glorietta: Oh my god...
Darwin International Airport:The other Qantas flight has arrived.
Josh: Come on, Sofia!
Josephine: Mary-Jean! Here!
Mary-Jean & Josephine found the car before Josh & Sofia.
Josephine: We are on our way to the national park.
Hidden Valley Raceway:Glorietta got suited up.
Helper: Don't be scared.
Glorietta: Oh my gosh...What have I got myself into?
Glorietta (conf.): I was really scared!!
Race starter: Three minutes start..............................
Arnold: Good luck baby!!
Race starter: NOW!!!
Glorietta drove off, but she was slow-going.
Arnold: Hm......
When she completed a lap...
Race starter: Time taken........................................three minutes and......sixteen seconds. Fail!
Glorietta: Dammit!
Arnold: You can do it, just try again, then.
Glorietta: Oh no...
Sports Field-Pitstop:Greeter: Hello, I'm netball professional Liz Ellis, and welcome to Darwin!
Stephen: Thank you, Liz.
Phil: Stephen & J.T., you, are team number.............2!Stephen: Ahh we knew.
Phil: Keep it up!
J.T.: This is about to get more fun.
Hidden Valley Raceway:Arnold: Are you okay, dear?
Glorietta: I'm fine. I just need to...remain, you know...
Glorietta decided to try again.
Race starter: Three minutes start..............................................................NOW!!!
Glorietta drove off.
Charles Darwin National Park:Josephine: This is it.
Mary-Jean: Detour! On Foot or On Wheels!
Josephine: I say On Wheels.
Mary-Jean: Of course......and Caution: U-Turn Ahead!
Josephine: No way. They better not U-Turn us.
Hidden Valley Raceway:Arnold: Come on baby...
Glorietta completed a lap.
Glorietta: Woah...How did I do?
Race starter: Time taken......three minutes......................and six seconds.
Glorietta: DARN!!
Arnold: Ohh...So close dear. Just try once more.
Glorietta: No!! I can't do it, baby! In hell, no way.
Arnold: Just take some time...
Glorietta: On Wheels:Mary-Jean: We're here.
Guide: Good luck.
Mary-Jean: Thanks...
They started biking.
Josephine: This is getting too bumpy.
Mary-Jean: Isn't it fun??
Josephine: I don't know!
Charles Darwin National Park:Sofia: Babe, there it is.
Josh: Nice.
Sofia: Detour! On Foot or On Wheels...On Wheels?
Josh: On Wheels.
Sofia: Caution: U-Turn Ahead.
Josh: Mary-Jean & Josephine are probably ahead.
On Wheels:Minutes later, Josh & Sofia arrived and began biking.
Sofia: Yahoo!
Josh: Wow, look at this scene.
Sofia (conf.): Three legs in Australia and we seem to have got the full package of what the country has to offer. Without going to the popular areas.
Josephine: Mary-Jean, help!!
Mary-Jean: What?
Josephine tumbled down.
Josephine: Ow...Oh my god...
Mary-Jean: Shoot! Are you alright??
Josephine: My arm is kinda scarred...Let's go.
Mary-Jean: Are you sure...Holy mackerel, girl, your arm is bleeding!!
Josephine: Dammit......I want to continue, we're not gonna get help here.
Mary-Jean: Hmm...Okay.
They continued on, a little more slowly.
Hidden Valley Raceway:Glorietta: Arnold, I'm ready to try again.
Arnold: Good luck, then.
Helper: You okay?
Glorietta: Yah...Time to fight back.
Race starter: Three minutes start...........................NOW!!
Glorietta drove off for the third time.
On Wheels:Mary-Jean & Josephine arrived first, followed shortly by Josh & Sofia.
Mary-Jean: Oh no...
Josephine: Darn those guys!!
Josephine (conf.): We got U-Turned...That really sucked because I was already in deep pain.
Josephine was first checked by the medicals.
Medic: We'll just wrap your arm with wound dressing...
Josephine: Thanks, guys.
Medic: Don't mention it.
Josephine: Let's go. We can't lose hope.
Mary-Jean: You're a star.
Sofia: Good luck, ladies!
Josh: Drive to Hidden Valley Raceway. Car racing!
Hidden Valley Raceway:Race starter: Time taken...............................................two minutes and fifty-five seconds!!!!!
Glorietta: AHHHH!!! Yay!!!
Arnold: Yes! Nice job!!
Race starter: Here is your clue!
Glorietta: I cannot believe it took me three tries!
Arnold: Drive to the next Pitstop!
Glorietta: At least we know the second flight hasn't arrived. And one of them have been U-Turned.
Arnold: There's still hope, honey.
On Foot:Mary-Jean: The good news is, we don't have to use our arms.
Josephine: Haha, that's awesome news.
They began walking.
Hidden Valley Raceway:Josh: Roadblock. Who is the aerodynamic one?
Sofia: You are.
Josh: Haha...Yes!
Josh quickly get suited.
Race starter: Three minutes start.............................Now!
Sofia: Woo!
Two minutes later...
Josh: Done! WHOO!
Race starter: Time taken...................................two minutes and four seconds!
Josh: Yay!
Sofia: Yay!!!
Josh: Drive to the next Pitstop!
Sofia (checking map): Durack Road.........Ah, this must be it! Let's go!
On Foot:Josephine: Let's go faster, Mary-Jean!
Mary-Jean: Sure thing!
Sports Field-Pitstop:Phil: Glorietta & Arnold you, are team number............3!Arnold: Good job, baby. The little people are still in it!
On Foot:Mary-Jean: We're back!
Josephine: Oh, it ends the same place.
Mary-Jean: Next clue!
Josephine: I'm worried we'll be eliminated.
Mary-Jean: Hidden Valley Raceway...
En Route to Sports Field:Sofia: Josh, left...
Josh turned right.
Sofia: LEFT!!!!!
Josh: Oh, sorry! Now what??
Sofia: Dangit, Josh.
Josh: Stop panicking! Focus on how to get back on track!
Sofia: How can I not be panicking when you screwed up going to the Pitstop??
Josh: Stay calm and read the damn map, please!
Sofia: Stop screaming at me!
A moment of deadly silence...
Hidden Valley Raceway:Josephine: This is it, ain't it? It looks car-race-ish to me.
Mary-Jean: Let's take a look.
They found the clue box.
Mary-Jean: Roadblock! Who is the aerodynamic one?
Josephine: I think you should do it.
Mary-Jean: Cool. I gotta try something boy-ish someday.
Mary-Jean got suited.
Helper: You ready?
Mary-Jean: As ever.
Race starter: Three minutes start.........................................NOW!
Mary-Jean drove off.
Josephine: You go girl!
A couple of minutes later..........
Race starter: Time taken....................two minutes and fifty-seven seconds! Pass!
Mary-Jean: Yay!
Helper: Good job.
Mary-Jean: Thank you, mate!
Josephine: Drive to the next Pitstop, Sports Field in Durack Road.
Mary-Jean: Oh my god.
En Route to Sports Field:Josh: Am I going on the right path?
Sofia: I think...
Mary-Jean: I just hope one team got lost on the way.
Josephine: Let's hold hands, Mary-Jean.
Mary-Jean: Yup. A deep prayer sounds good right now.
One team reached the Pitstop first...
Sports Field-Pitstop:One car stopped and two people emerged out of it and casually stepped onto the mat.
Greeter: Hello.
I am netball professional Liz Ellis. Welcome to Darwin, Australia.
Sofia: Thank you. It's a wonderful city...
Phil: Josh & Sofia, you, are team number...........................................................................4.Josh: Sigh...The number we were always in, but at least we're still safe...
Sofia did not respond in no way at all.
Josh: Come on, Sofia, it was a do or die.
Sofia: Okay...I forgive you, baby.
They hugged each other.
Phil: What happened?
Sofia: Well...A heated argument, that's all...about some stupid navigation mistake. But it's okay. It's not gonna distract us any further.
Five minutes later...
Mary-Jean: Please, dear god...
Greeter: Welcome to Darwin, Australia.
Josephine: Thank you so much.
Phil: Mary-Jean & Josephine, you, are the last team to arrive...Mary-Jean: No...
Josephine: Phil: However, I am glad to announce that this is the second pre-determined Non-Elimination Leg!
Josephine: Yes!!
Mary-Jean: Wow, phew, still in it.
Phil: Yes, you are. But with the good news come the bad news.
Josephine: Oh no.
Phil: Sometime in the next leg of the race, you will encounter a Speedbump, an extra task that only you must perform. Got it?
Mary-Jean: We got it.
Phil: Good luck then.
Josephine: It's nice that God decides to give us another chance.
Mary-Jean: We're gonna take this race for granted now. We will not mess up.
Josephine: To us, it's now or never now. We still want to make it to the top.
