**Travel by foot to the Alley (+10 minutes)**
P.S. May we know the players or the users who got eliminated and the answers to the starting line?
Chester: Hoooorah! We're in the Amazing Race!
Farrah: Don't be too much like Teri and Ian, even though we idolize them!

Derek: OK... start line drama aside, let's see what our clue says.
Blake: Here we gooo! *rips clue open and reads it as Derek peers above his shoulder* 'Make your way by foot to the Callejón del Beso, where a Mexican version of Romeo & Juliet took place, and climb to one of the balconies to receive your next clue.' Aw, man!
Derek: *laughs* This is SUCH a romantic start to the race.
Blake: *scans through the map and points* Here it is. Let's go that way!
Derek: *as they are running* Dude! You're good at this shit.
Blake: I'm an urban planner... you get used to cityscapes. This'll be a piece of cake, most Latin American colonial cities were built on a grid pattern.
Derek: How you know that both amazes and terrifies me.
Blake: *grins* Thanks, but stick with 'amazes' me.
Derek: Babe, you amaze me in every way.
Blake: Damnit with this corny stuff! I can't help but love it, and I loathe myself for it! *stops as he pauses to orient himself*
Derek: Hey, is that it? *points at the balcony*
Blake: Yeah, hurry up! *runs towards the balcony and retrieves the clue, with Derek running into him with a hug as he reads the clue. 'Legend has it that if you visit the Callejón del Beso with your significant other, the visit will have one of two outcomes. If you kiss each other on the third step, you will be guaranteed 7 years of happiness in your relationship. If you don't kiss each other, the couple will have 7 years of bad luck in love. Whoa.
Derek: Whoa is right! This clue was totally built for me. I'd love to kiss your cute face and stare into your eyes in this beautiful setting-
Blake: Which is good and all, but first, you gotta stop doing so much dirty talk and let me get some lines, because otherwise, I feel like a submissive bottom.
Derek: Sorry man, but I'm just so... head over heels with you. You really mesmerize me.
Blake: Hehe, you know how to tickle me man. But secondly... this country is pretty homophobic, isn't it? It'd be awkward for 2 guys like us to make out in public-
Derek: Screw it, Blakey, you're too concerned about everything. Come on. *plants his lips on Blake's, as Blake is caught in surprise initially but eventually submits happily, and they share a deep, passionate kiss while leaning against the balcony*
Blake: *rubs Derek's pecs and smiles* Crap, that felt good man.
Derek: Yeah, and let's face it, it's way better than 7 years of bad luck in love.
Blake: Man... I hope we can work everything out by the end of this.
Derek: I'm sure we will. We just gotta deal with whatever comes our way. *grins at Blake, who grins back*

Johanna: Fifth team out! I wonder who were in front of us! Melissa: I am just glad we are not at the back of the pack! Johanna: Yeah. I'd rather be in the middle and be called b*tches than at the back and be called sweethearts. Melissa: I don't get the b*tch part, though. Johanna: I don't either, but I'd still prefer that over that. Melissa: I don't know about you. Johanna: Oops! We forgot to read the clue and we're running without an aim! Melissa:  Make your way by foot to the Callejón del Beso and climb to one of the balconies to receive your next clue. The callejón del beso is the place where one of Guanajuato's most famous legends took place. The legend, the Mexican version of Romeo & Juliet, saw two lovers from rival families who met secretly on their balconies (separated less than 60 inches from each other). You have 200 USD for this leg of the race. Johanna: Wouldn't they just be next door neighbours? Melissa: Life and meaning in the past is very different to the present, sister. Johanna: I agree. Our world now is loveless and lifeless! Melissa: I don't know if we are included in the -less part of the group. Johanna: Most likely...Should we go there or get money first? Melissa: Usually the earlier the better, at least from my observation. Johanna: Let's go then... |
