"Welcome to Toronto, Ontario, home of the albino jaguar, and the birthplace of funk."

We now see a man standing in the middle of a rooftop of a large building, overlooking the busy traffic below.

"Beneath my manly size-13 brogues, 24 teams are arriving at this historic train station, ready to embark on a race around the world," Said the man. "I'm your host, Don. And this is... The Ridonculous Race!" He then show's a toothy grin, his flash starting the introduction.


- Author's Notes -

Hey everyone! Account user Zak Saturday here, and I'm running the fanfiction show again. Joining me this time around is fellow writer, Gwent Forever, who is helping me write this story! If anyone wants to know more about the O.C.s I will be posting info about them on my profile! Questions about their backstories or so, just shoot either of us a PM!

In place of where the intro would be, the two of us will use this space to leave Opening Authors' Notes to you all, as well as replying to some of your reviews. I hope you will enjoy The Ridonculous Race - Extended Edition! But enough with the formalities, on with the story!

- End Author's Notes -


We are now on the ground street. The host, Don, is seen walking to the center of the building via the sidewalk.

"Welcome to The Ridonculous Race. Right now, 24 teams from across the country are ready to embark on a race... to the DEATH!" (Don is interrupted by a call in his earpiece.) "Not to the death? Okay." (Hangs up) "Let's meet the teams that AREN'T racing to the death!" he exclaims.


"Carrie and Devin... Best Friends."

- Team Confessional: Best Friends -

Carrie: I met Devin in the sandbox, and we haven't spent a day apart since. If anyone can win this race, it's us!

Devin: Yeah, I know Carrie so well! It's like we're... (Carrie is looking at him lovingly. He notices this and gets weirded out) W-Wh-What are- What are you doing?

Carrie: (Snaps out of it) Oh, uh... Lint check! (Takes a piece of lint sticking out of Devin's shirt and throws it away) For the camera! Woo! Race!

- End Confessional -


"Kelly and Taylor... Mom and daughter."

- Team Confessional: Mother and Daughter -

Taylor: (bored tone) So, like, A; I'm really hot, obviously. And B; I'm the pretty much best at everything I do, so unless my MOM messes things up for us, we're totally gonna win this race.

Kelly: Taylor and her friends love when I hang with them! I'm known as the "Cool mom"! (Laughs briefly) We're so tight! People always mistake us for sisters!

Taylor: (Appalled) Wait, what?!

- End Confessional -


"Emma and Kitty... ACTUAL sisters."

- Team Confessional: Sisters -

Emma: I'm studying international law, so that's going to give us a real edge. Which is good, because we're here to win!

Kitty: And to see the world, meet hot guys, and have some fun!

Emma: IF there's time for that, which there won't be, so let's focus on winning, okay?

Kitty: (Does something sounding like a cross between a groan and a sigh.)

Emma: (Smiling) Good.

- End Confessional -


"John and Elsa... Brother and sister."

- Team Confessional: Brother & Sister -

Elsa: John didn't want me to do the race alone, so he signed up with me... just to make sure I won't get into any... "trouble" (used her fingers to quote the word "trouble").

John: Come on, sis! You know that I only want to protect you!

Elsa: I'm 16 now, John.

John: Still, just to be on the safe side, okay? (Elsa rolls her eyes at this.).

- End Confessional -


"Crimson and Ennui. Two exceptionally pale teenage Goths. (Lightning strikes in the background) Alright that's just unnerving..."

- Team Confessional: Goths -

The two just sit there in silence.

Crimson: (In a calm emotionless voice) Yay.

- End Confessional -


"Owen and Noah... Seasoned reality TV participants..."

"Yeah!" Owen said. "WHOO! (Holds his hand up to Noah) Don't leave me hanging!" Unfortunately, Noah does just that.

- Team Confessional: Reality TV Pros -

Owen: Noah and I met on Total Drama, and we've been on TONS of reality shows since then. (Uses his fingers to count them) Like "Meltdown Kitchen", and... "Scare Tractor", and... "Fashionista Flip-Flop"... !

Noah: (In his usual, deadpan tone of voice) Don't know HOW you got on that one...

Owen: I'm just so psyched to be reunited with my little buddy! Come here! (He wraps Noah is a tight bear hug, causing the smaller boy to gasp for air.)

- End Confessional -


"Mickey and Jay... Identical twins who are use to the concept of overcoming adversity..."

- Team Confessional: Adversity Twins -

Mickey: We've both been through a lot, but we're not cursed. Whatever's right before cursed, that's us. (does a short, weak laugh)

Jay: Like, when I was six I fell into a burrowing owls' nest, and one of the baby owls flew right into my ear! It's not there anymore, but to this day, everything on this side sounds like "hoo-hoo-hoo" ... (He proceeds to fiddle with his ear.)

Mickey: We're constantly fighting adversity and... overcoming it!

Jay: Sorry, we gotta switch sides. You're just... "hoo-hoo-hoo"...

- End Confessional -


"The totally in love daters, Stephanie and Ryan..."

- Team Confessional: Daters -

Ryan: Stephanie and I met at the gym two months and six days ago, and we've been going steady ever since!

Stephanie: We're SO excited, neither of us has ever traveled before. There's just so much to discover! Like... what do chocolate protein bars taste like in China?

Ryan: I was just wondering that!

Stephanie: No Way! (The two then start making out.)

- End Confessional -


"Josee and Jacques... Ice Dancers..."

- Team Confessional: Ice Dancers -

Jacques: (he speaks with a French accent) We KNOW how to win. We've won gold everywhere!

Josee: Except for the Olympics. He dropped me, so we only got silver.

Jacques: (The moment he hears the word silver, he stands up and cries out in distress) I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT! (He runs away)

Josee: (Calls after him) Jacques! (She turned back to camera, smiling) Silver is his least favorite color.

- End Confessional -


"Geoff and Brody... Life-long friends and surfer dudes..."

"(Laughs) Goin' around the world on someone else's dime!" Geoff exclaimed, "Sweet! Hey Bridgette (Laughs again, then points directly at the camera), love ya babe!"

- Team Confessional: Surfer Dudes -

Geoff: My girlfriend and I did Total Drama, but she's surfing her way across Australia right now. So, Boom! Enter (mispronounced), my bud, Brody!

Brody: (He and Geoff fist bump) Yeah, guy! Bros forever! G and B for the W-I-N!

- End Confessional -


At this point the teams were near the starting line. Don calls out to them, saying "Right this way teams. Over here." His voice over continues. "Also competing, Hailey and Eric... two teens who typically hang around the mall all day..."

- Team Confessional: The Mall-goers -

Hailey: OMG! Total Drama is going to be perfect for me! I can show off my amazing fashion skills.

Eric: We usually hang around the mall, but this is the perfect chance for us to see the world. Hailey can see world fashions, and maybe I can learn about food from other countries in this race.

- End Confessional -


"Greg and Seth... A Brain and Brawn team of Yin and Yang..."

- Team Confessional: Yin and Yang -

Seth: (Speaks with a New York accent) Greg is kinda like the brains between the two of us, while I act as the muscle (He flexes an arm to prove this point).

Greg: Yeah! With the two of us working together, we're gonna conquer the competition for sure! (The two share a fist bump).

- End Confessional -


"Dwayne and Dwayne Junior... Father and son..."

- Team Confessional: Father & Son -

Dwayne: Oh, I spend a lot of time at the old office, so this race is a perfect chance for Junior and I to squeeze in a little father-son bonding time! (Laughs) Isn't that right, kiddo?

Junior: Uh, yeah... Sure, dad. (He looks around, as if trying to find something to change the subject with) Hey, um... are there any kids my age in this thing?

Dwayne: (Nervous) Oh. Uh...

- End Confessional -


"Sanders and MacArthur... Ambitious police cadets..."

- Team Confessional: Police Cadets -

MacArthur: We're tough as nails, and we'll go to the extreme to win this thing!

Sanders: Definitely. As long we don't break any international laws.

MacArthur: (Smiles and shrugs) I'm okay with breaking a few. (Sanders looks at her, shocked, then looks back at the camera with the same expression.).

- End Confessional -


"Lorenzo and Chet... New stepbrothers..."

- Team Confessional: Stepbrothers -

Lorenzo: My dad married his mom last year, but we still HATE each other! So they're making us do THIS (Arms crossed) Jerks!

Chet: Don't call my mom a jerk, jerk! (He pushes Lorenzo down, who simply gets right back up.)

Lorenzo: Shut your word-hole, jerk! (Lorenzo and pushes him back. Chet then tackles Lorenzo to the ground as they begin fighting again.)

- End Confessional -


"Rosa and Madison... The Seducers... (with concern) I'd better be careful around these two..."

- Team Confessional: The Seducers -

Rosa: We are kind of a big deal back home. Wildly popular, greatly adored by all.

Madison: So true, we'll have these guys wrapped around our little fingers in no time.

Rosa: Now the only question left for us, is how many people WON'T fall for our beauty? Hint; None. (smirks evilly)

- End Confessional -


"Also Racing, Tom and Jen, Highly attractive fashion bloggers with impeccable taste. (Annoyed) I told you not to let the teams write their own cards."

- Team Confessional: Fashion Bloggers -

Jen: Hey-hey, to all our blog followers out there! Wish us good luck!

Tom: I bet Jen we could win the race, but I didn't think she'd ACTUALLY take me up on it.

Jen: I just put my mind to something and it (Snaps her fingers) happens!

- End Confessional -


"Rock and Spud... The Rockers..."

- Team Confessional: Rockers -

Rock: Spud wasn't sure about doing this race, 'cause he's not super fit or good at pretty much anything. Except ROCKING OUT! (He makes a guitar noise) So I said "you just rock bud, and I'll carry you!'" (He and Spud then proceed to air-guitarring and headbanging in typical rock fashion.)

- End Confessional -


"Laurie and Miles, Granola-loving, hippie-dippie friends..."

- Team Confessional: Vegans -

Laurie: We want to win so we can donate to our favorite charities; "Save the Hunchback Walruses", "Goat Milk Eco Warriors", "People for the Ethical Treatment of Ants," So many great causes!

- End Confessional -


"Sierra ans Topher, fans, rivals, and former contestants of Total Drama..."

- Team Confessional: Superfans -

Sierra: (Annoyed) Why did I have to be stuck with this idiot?

Topher: (Shocked) What did you just call me?"

Sierra: (Aggressive) I called you an IDIOT!

Topher: (Angered) Oh no you didn't!

- End Confessional -


"Wayne and Cynthia... Fans of the Steampunk genre..."

- Team Confessional: Steampunks -

Cynthia: (she speaks with a British accent) We are gonna dominate this race! These blokes have NOTHING on us!

Wayne: Yeah, we have the skills needed to make it up top. And when we win, we'll use the money to further our steampunk shop! (The two high-five.)

- End Confessional -


"Ellody and Mary... Scientific geniuses who say they will use their winnings to support the science community."

- Team Confessional: Geniuses -

Ellody: Astrophysics is underfunded. Reality shows offer monetary prizes. Conundrum solved!

- End Confessional -


"Leonard and Tammy... Dedicated Live Action Role Players... Whatever that means."

- Team Confessional: LARPers

Leonard: Pahkitew Island was tough! But with Tammy's new spells? Huzzah! We'll claim the Dragon's Eye! That's dwarvish for one million. (Tammy then pulls out an ocarina and plays a small tune on it.)

- End Confessional -


"And finally, Gerry and Pete... Retired pro-tennis players and friendly rivals."

- Team Confessional: Tennis Rivals

Gerry: We're both VERY competitive! But for half a million each? Game on! (He and Pete laugh)

Pete: Maybe we'll pick up some new sponsorships! Anyone need a pitchman for Seniors' Laxatives-

Both: (They point at each other) Call his agent! (They laugh again)

- End Confessional -


All of the teams were there, standing near the starting line, all of them were facing Don who immediately addressed them all.

"Welcome Teams!" He said, "This is the starting line for your multi-part race around the world! Each part ends at a Chill Zone. Get there fast, because the last team standing on the Carpet of Completion, may just be cut from the competition! (Several teams had looks of shock or worry on their faces, others simply looked bored) BUT! The first team to make it to our Final Chill Zone WILL win ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS! (At this, most of the teams cheered at.) Look over here! (Don is now standing what looks like a ticket dispenser, shaped to his likeness. It had a red button on top.) This is our Ridonculous Tip Box, also known as, the Don Box. (He points to the button on top.) Press this button to get the travel tips, that will lead you throughout the Ridonculous Race! Ready teams? (At this point, all of the teams readied themselves for running.) On your marks! Get set! ... ... ... RACE! (unfortunately, they ended up running through him like a stampede.) WATCH THE FACE! NOT THE HAIR! (Screams in fear)"


Hailey was the first to press the button, several other teams followed suit.

"(Reading the tip) Race, on foot, to the C.N. Tower," she said, as she and Eric raced off.

"And find the Don Box to receive your next tip. (To John) Let's go!" John shouted, as his sister chased after him.

"Wait up!" she shouted.

Eric and Hailey were the first to reach the CN Tower.

"Okay now... THIS is one huge tower," Hailey commented.

"This is nothing, John and I have been here before, we practically live near the CN Tower," Elsa's voice was heard, as the Mall-goers turned to see the Brother & Sister duo.

"Really?" Eric asked.

"Yeah, and we're also trying to get our band to be more famous," John said.

There was an awkward pause at this, before Eric spoke.

"Wait a minute... are you apart of the Stormtroopers? The band who's famous on YouTube?" he asked.

"Yup!" Elsa said.

"Wow! This is so cool! That means... you must be Kayla Storm!" Hailey exclaimed.

"(Smiling) In the flesh!" Elsa exclaimed dramatically.

"You're Kayla Storm!? Can I get a picture? Please!?" Kitty asked, as Emma face palmed.

"Kitty... we don't have time," she began, before Elsa cut her off with a nod.

"Sure," Elsa said, as Kitty got her phone ready. The two girls took a selfie together, and John joined in, pulling Emma, Hailey and Eric in as well.

"(After the selfie) Okay, we're done, let's keep moving!" Emma said, grabbing Kitty's hand towards the Don Box.

Kitty presses the button on the Don Box, then grabs the tip. She reads it to her self, saying, "It's an Either/Or. What's that?"


Don, from inside the tower, then explains to the audience, "An Either/Or gives the teams the choice to do one of two challenges. In this case, they can EITHER climb 144 flights of stairs to reach the world's tallest observation deck, that's just under a billion stairs, OR Scares, take the elevator, then get the scare of a lifetime by doing a skywalk all the way around the outside of the tower! Not to worry though! They'll be wearing helmets. AND, as an extra precaution, we even had a safety rail installed. (The camera then shows the safety rail, as part of it snaps off the tower, causing it to go out of balance. The camera cuts back to Don.) Teams must finish either task, then find this local tour guide (showing a man napping on one of the seats) to acquire their next tip."

Eventually, other Teams were reading their tip from the Don Box.

Sanders of the Cadets. "144 Flights of stairs? (Smirking) Yeah, we'll do Scares."

Topher and Sierra. "Scares. (The two then gave each other matching stares of intimidation)"

The Stepbrothers... Well Chet at least, "SCARES! (Successfully takes the tip away from Lorenzo) HA! Called it!"

Even the Adversity Twin, with Mickey saying, with a nervous voice, "Stairs... ?"


- Team Confessional: Adversity Twins -

Jay: (He and Mickey are both holding the tip, each with one hand.). Mickey gets nosebleeds whenever he goes up too high too fast. It makes it hard for us to take flights or, y'know, go up tall towers (He takes the card from Mickey, causing the poor twin to wince loudly in pain).

Mickey: (After wincing) Papercut!

- End Confessional -


Dwayne and Junior were in the first elevator before any of the other teams got in.

"First in!" Dwayne said, "Way to go Junior! Give me a high five! (He was about to rush to his son but when at the word five, Junior dodged him, causing his father to slip and land alongside the elevator console. This caused it to temporarily short out and start back up, spontaneously lighting up the floor buttons... ALL the floor buttons. Dwayne laughs nervously a second afterwards.). Oops.


- Team Confessional: Father and Son -

Dwayne: (Smiling) For a skinny tower, there sure are a LOT of floors! (Junior simply facepalms at this.)

- End confessional -


Dwayne and his son then stepped out of the tower, clearly having no choice but to go with Stairs. Dwayne was whistling the way nervous people do as he and his son headed for the staircase.

As several of the teams headed for the elevator they were shocked that all the floor buttons were lit up like a Christmas tree.

Geoff actually pointed this out, asking, "Hey, who pushed all the buttons?"

MacArthur then proclaimed ot her partner, "We gotta take the stairs."

Sanders simply said, "Or we could just wait," To which MacArthur reacted by saying, "HUSTLE!"

After all the means left the elevator, the only teams left were the Mall-Goers and the Fashion Bloggers.

Jen sighed saying, "This'll probably still be faster."

Hailey simply replied with, "Ditto."


Father and sons were one of the first teams up the Stairs, Dwayne saying, "If anyone asks us, we chose Stairs. Always say we chose Stairs."

Followe immediately by The Superfans, then the Adversity Twins, etc. ...

Don does a Voice-Over/V.O. at this point, "While Father & Son, the Superfans, and the Adversity Twins commit to climbing the unconscionable number of Stairs, more teams choose Scares. BUT, they are in for a long wait."


Meanwhile in the elevator, The Fashion Bloggers and the Mall-Goers are making conversation as the elevator proceeded from floor to floor.

Jen was saying, "It nice too finally meet a fan of our blog (Hailey) in person!" Tom simply added, "And you're fashion sense is just superb."

Hailey smiled, "Aw, thanks! I make it a daily goal to carefully select the best outfit for the day."

At that moment the elevator doors opened again, showing a hallway where a old man janitor was moping the halls. Tom looked at him an said, "Unlike this guy. I mean, really? Overalls? Ugh, nasty! Talk about a fashion faux pas!"

Jen added, "Yeah. Like, get with today!" Unfortunately the janitor heard this getting an angry look on his face. Later, the elevator opened on the observation deck. The four contestants walked out. Only... they were all wet with cleaning product, Jen has a bucket on her head and Eric had a mop on top of his. All four of them had an upset look on their faces as Jen and Eric got rid of the bucket and mop.

The four looked around and saw that they were the only ones there. No other teams were in sight, just the four of them. Well, them and the Tour guide. Hailey took notice of this and said, "I don't see any other teams... (To the other three) We must be tied in first place! YES! (Jen, at the same time did a light squeal of excitement.)"

Tom then said, "Let's all hit the skywalk and STRUT all the way to the winner's circle!" The four then calmly walked to the door leading to the skywalk. But, when they walked out the door... well. The CN tower skywalk was so high off the ground it terrified them. And the wind was blowing so hard, that it added to the fear.

Jen simply screamed, "We have to walk... UP HERE!?"

Don replied, via V.O., "Oh, yes you do. The Ridonculous Race will return!"


- Commercial Break -

We see several Teams, like the Surfer Dudes, Steampunks, Daters, Ice Dancers, and Stepbrothers were still going up the stairs. Don, through V.O., said, "Those who abandoned the elevator are in for a climb, which, quite frankly, will be more fun to watch."

We see Jay and Mickey higher up the stairs. They have stopped and looked at the camera, Mickey saying, "On the upside, we're definitely NOT in last place! On the downside, (slightly depressed) that probably won't be true for long." Then, the two promptly began to run again.

Meanwhile, downstairs, we see Mom & Daughter finally make it to the others, waiting for the elevator to come back. Taylor saw this and groaned openly. "Oh, GREAT," she said to her mother, "Thanks for being so slow, now we're in a race for last place. When we get home, hire yourself a personal trainer."

"G-Great idea sweetie," Kelly said, to which Taylor only replied, "I KNOW. That's why I came up with it!"


Meanwhile on the Stairs, Geoff and Brody had passed the Adversity Twins, Geoff saying, "Sweet form dudes!"

Mickey told his brother "They seemed nice," but Jay simply said, "No alliances, remember?"


- Team Confessional: Adversity Twins -

Mickey: Jay doesn't think we should form any alliances.

Jay: We're soft meat.

Mickey: ... REALLY soft meat.

- End Confessional -


Meanwhile Sanders looked like she had passed her limit. She was leaning on the edge of the staircase, arms over the railing, sweating and groaning, with her legs locked, saying, "UGH! (Gasping in exhaustion) Thighs burning! (Grunts in weakness, as the Superfans passed her) So queasy... "

MacArthur hoped back down to her and picked her up, saying, "(Grunting as she picked Sanders up) So you're one of those skinny/fat people who can't climb at least 10 flights of stairs without puking your guts out, huh? What do you do, (Starts running) yoga?"

We now hear Don, doing ANOTHER V.O., saying, "(Showing some of the teams climbing the Stairs.) As most of the teams continue to climb, (We now see people waiting for the elevator, bored.) or wait... and wait... and wait some more... (We now see the observation deck) The Fashion Bloggers and Mall-Goers are the first teams to reach the observation deck, but the Scare may be too much for them."


Tom and Jen were clinging onto each other in fright, Tom saying, "(pointing out the door to the skywalk) We can't go out on that DEATHWALK! I am fashionably SVELT, the wind will BLOW me away! (The tour guide rolls his eyes at this remark.)"

"Tom's right," Hailey added, "You can't just expect me to risk my life going out there!"

Eric then grabbed her hand, saying, "Hey, don't worry, I'm here for you. (Looks more directly at her) It'll be alright, we'll just walk slowly so that nothing bad happens to us, okay?"

Hailey looks at him for a moment, takes a deep breath, and says, "Alright... Thanks Eric, I needed that."

"Anytime," replied Eric, "Let's go." The two then proceeded out the door.


Downstairs, the elevator had finally returned, teams began to ran into it. Don, through V.O. said, "With the return of the elevator, the competition is heating up!" the elevator then closes, leaving some of the teams left behind.

Rosa of the Seducers actually pointed it out, saying, "Okay, that is just rude."

"I know, right?" agreed Madison.

"Wow," Owen said, trying to strike a conversation with Leonard, "Nice robe."

"It has cloaking powers," He said, "Observe. (Screaming) DISAPPEARICUS CONVINICUS! (With his sleeve over his face) Can't see me anymore can ya?"

Owen gets a little creeped out about this, saying, "Umm... ... ... I'm gonna go over there..."


Back on the observation deck. Eric and Hailey had just stepped out the door, wearing helmets. Tom simply stood in front of the tour guide. "Helmets? Are you crazy?" he protested, "You want us to ruin our hair? Nope, I did NOT sign up for that."

Jen added, "Plus, Plum REALLY isn't my color," To which Tom added, "It's not. Trust."


Again we see the stairs, the Steampunks are still running at the same pace, passing Father & Son. Dwayne looked absolutely exhausted. The Surfer Dudes passed them as well.

"Doing great Bro," Geoff said to his partner, "Our calves are gonna be SO toned after this!"

Brody replied, "Yeah, totally! We're gonna look like greek gods from the knees down!"

The Ice Dancers were running behind them, slowly catching up, arms held in position as if they were performing. They stopped and started to wave to the camera. Josee said, "Hello to our fans! (She and Jacques then each blow a kiss to the camera) We love you!"

Meanwhile MacArthur was still carrying Sanders up the stairs. "Put me down," Sanders said, "I can to this!"

MacArthur contradicted this, saying, "I beg to differ, Chicken Legs!"


- Team Confessional: Police Cadets -

MacArthur: It's all in the Glutes! I only use the stair machine at the gym. I'm basically 80% glutes at this point, they've taken over the rest of my muscles. (Flexes her left-hand arm) You see this? It's glutes, it's ALL glutes.

- End Confessional -


Don does another V.O., saying, "After an hour of stair climbing, some of our teams are REALLY starting to lose it!"

This was true, one example we see is Yin and Yang. Seth is carrying Greg, who was panting heavily, saying, "I... (heavy pant) I can... (heavy pant) I can still."

"No you cant," Seth declared, "You reached your limit. Anymore running and you might just injure yourself, 'kay."

"(Still panting) ... Okay." Greg said.


- Team Confessional: Yin & Yang -

Greg: (awkwardly) ... Yeah... Long stretched of physical strain, isn't exactly my thing. The only reason we chose stairs was because all the buttons were pressed...

Seth: Yeah, he's more into things like chess, and books, and stuff like that.

Greg: (to his teammate) Okay, chess might be overkill dude.

Seth: Sorry.

- End Confessional -


Another example is seen with the Adversity Twins who chose to walk at this point. Jay was talking to Mickey, saying, "Stay with me Mickey. Eyes open."

Mickey had his eyes wide open and out of focus. He was clearly delusional, as he was saying to himself, "It's okay mommy, I don't need a new elephant..."

Jay simply looked at the camera, saying, "THIS is why we don't visit a lot of skyscrapers."


The Elevator had JUST opened again, showing the group who entered it. "There's the skywalk," Devin said, "Come on!"

He, Carrie, as well as Brother & Sister grab their helmets, then head out to the skywals. Tom then stopped everyone else, saying, "Hold on! I need to make sure MY helmet is disinfected before we do this." Everyone present, save for the tour guide, gave him looks of disapproval.


- Team Confessional: Brother and Sister -

Elsa: We've been on the Skywalk multiple times.

John: Yeah, it was super easy. Just one foot in front of the other-

Both (singing): And don't look down! (laughs)

John: I hope that I can get some ideas to write some new songs... we need more than one single...

Elsa: True. But for now, let's focus on winning.

- End Confessional -


The two teams then saw the height below them. Brother & sister started walking without worry, but Devin was a little nervous. "(Looking down) Oh man... " He said.

Carrie said, "Okay, you've always wanted to overcome your fear of heights, right?"

Devin contradicted this claim, saying, "I'm not scared of heights, I'm scared of FALLING. Big difference."

"Don't worry," Carried reassured, "It's a TV competition, it's GOTTA be safe!"

UN-fortunately, a bird then chose to land on the safety rail... and the moment it touched the misbalanced rail, it finally gave way, falling of the tower altogether. When the Mall-Goers saw this, Hailey just froze.

Meanwhile, the Tennis Rivals had reached that point. As soon as they has started their lap around the skywalk, Pete shouting, "HAH! Now WE'RE ahead! (Laughs) Way to SNOOZE, chuckle-heads!"

Carrie knew what was at stake and said to Devin, "You can do it! (Takes his hand) I believe in you!"

Devin simple replied with, "That makes one of us!"

Meanwhile with the Mall-Goers, Hailey was still frozen, at least until Eric talked to her. The Tennis rivals and Best friends passed them during this time. "Hailey," he said, "We need to keep going."

"But I-"

"It's alright," Eric said, cutting her off, "(Takes her hand and holds it with both of his) just hand on and keep your eyes closed. It'll be over before you know it."

Hailey looks directly at him for a sec... then says, "... Okay." The two then proceeded to do their lap around the skywalk.

As the teams walked they noticed that a raccoon, holding onto an open umbrella, was floating upwards, being carried by the wind via the umbrella. ... ... Weird, right?


Meanwhile, downstairs, the elevator came down again, welcoming the last group of players. Reality TV Pros were running to the doors before they closed. "Make way for two more!" Owen said.

Taylor replied, "(repeatedly pressing the Close Doors button) Sorry, no room left."

This didn't stop Owen who ran in anyway, even as the elevator doors squeezed him a few times before he finally got his entire body in the elevator. When the elevator started rising, they all heard it groan under the weight... mostly Owen's. Taylor pointed this out saying, "This elevator sounds awful."

Then the worst thing imaginable to mankind happened. Owen accidentally let out a big fart! It sounded like a toot, but the odor was so bad, it was actually visible! Everyone else expressed and performed actions of pure disgust, while Noah, who was used to Owens farts, simply stood there an annoyed look plastered on his face as the stench consumed him as well.


- Commercial Break -

We see the teams up on the skywalk. Gerry and Pete were ahead of everyone until the wind was able to push the back! When they stopped, Brother & Sister were already ahead of them, which got them a little ticked off.

"Can't catch up with two teenagers?" Elsa called out, smiling.

"Ah, shut up!" Gerry shouted.

Meanwhile The Mall-Goers were doing some good progress themselves. Eric was encouraging Hailey, saying, "That's it, just keep going one step at a time. I'm so proud of you Hailey!" To which she replied, "(Eyes still closed) I'm so happy that you are my partner Eric!"

"Same here!"

Emma was a little annoyed, her sister has stopped moving. She heard Kitty voice, yelling, "This is so cool!"

Emma turned around and saw that Kitty was at the edge of the skywalk... she was taking photos of the view with her smartphone.

"FOCUS!" Emma said, "This is life or death!"

"Come on!" Kitty replied, "Look at what we're doing, it's incredible (letting the wind move through her, arms open). I feel so alive!"

Emma then grabbed her arm, dragging her towards the path, sarcastically saying, "Yeah, great, we'll make sure they put that quote in your gravestone."

Tom and Jen were clinging onto each other as they continued THEIR lap. Jen yelled out to Tom, "Promise me you'll never let go!"

He replied, "NEVER! (More calmly) Can you believe people PAY to do this?"

They were followed by the Vegans, who had the same amount of fear, Laurie saying, "We're doing this for YOU Mother Earth! Don't kill us!"


Meanwhile at the top The Cadets were first in terms of Stairs, followed by the Ice Dancers, then the Steampunks. MacArthur saying, "Coming through! Police Cadets for the Win!"

Jacques replied, saying, "Not for long!"


We now hear Don's V.O., "The last elevator has arrived. But while those teams still have to take the dreaded skywalk, teams who took the Stairs are literally LEAPING into the lead."

He was referring to the Ice Dancers, who looked absolutely exhausted. Jacques, panting, said to the tour guide, "First... Place..." The Steampunks came out next, and boy were they equally exhausted. The guide simply held up two copies of the next tip for them to read.

Jacques read one of them, "Catch a flight with a zip, ride the line to your tip. (confused by the tip) Eh? Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire? (French for, "What does that mean?")"


Don does yet ANOTHER V.O. this time explaining the tip, "Teams must take a flimsy zip line over Lake Ontario, to this island airport (We see the airport), and snag their next tip along the way. The line was tested this morning by our intern, Andy. Condolences again to his family."

The Ice Dancers were the first to ride the zip line, they grabbed the tip with absolute ease. Jacques declaring, "Go Team Canada!" as they proudly proceeded down the line to the airport. The Steampunks followed suit, taking their ticket without any problems, "YES!" declared Wayne as Cynthia grabbed the ticket, "Way to go sis!"


Meanwhile, back at the observation deck, Brother and Sister had done the skywalk successfully, cheering for their victory. The best friends followed suit, Devin saying, "Oh man! Thank goodness!" They were followed by the Tennis Rivals. Unfortunately, a large, cracking sound came from Pete, who then fell down in pain. "ARGH-OW!" He screamed, "MY ARTIFICIAL KNEE JUST GAVE OUT! (He continues to scream in pain, even as the Mall-Goers passed him and Gerry.)"


- Team Confessional: Tennis Rivals -

Pete: Gotta say, agreeing to this show was a great idea. We've been through greater battles than these kids! (Gerry nods) Sure, they may have more zing, more ambition, more blind optimism, more... (He and Gerry are suddenly depressed) This show was a terrible idea.

- End Confessional -


Police Cadets finally made it up the stairs. "Finally," said Sanders... Before MacArthur simply dropped her, saying, "Yup, now it's your turn. Carry me."

"What?"

"HAH, I'm kidding! You couldn't carry a loaf of bread!"


- Team Confessional: Police Cadets -

MacArthur: Looks like a lot of teams are dealing with some dead weight. (Sanders is shocked at this remark.).

Sanders: (upset) Are you referring to me!? (MacArthur simply looks at the camera, an awkward smile on her face.).

- End confessional -


The remaining teams were reading their tips.

Carrie said, "Zip-lining? (excited) I always wanted to do that!"

Gerry said, "Zip-lining? (worried) I NEVER wanted to do that!"


Meanwhile, at the island airport, the Ice Dancers finally landed. They waved around, Josee saying, "Thank you! We love you! Merci!"

Don, who was standing there, asked, "Um... who are you talking to, there's no one else here?"

They both answered, "Our fans"


- Team Confessional: Ice Dancers -

Josee: Our fans give us the love and energy we need to perform under extreme pressure. Without them, my partner, Jacques, would never be able to overcome his MANY (strong emphasis on the word) faults.

Jacques: Um... Why d'you say "many" like that?

Josee: (Still looking at the camera) You know why.

- End confessional -


The Steampunks land down next, then Cynthia reads the tip, "Book two seats on the next flight to Morocco."

Don then talks to the audience, "There are three flights heading to Morocco, departing 30 minutes apart. Teams who make it onto the first flight have the distinctive advantage of arriving first. Teams on the third and last flight... should probably begin to question why they even entered this race because... WOW, really?"


- Team Confessional: Reality TV Pros -

Noah: Every reality show I've been on, I've lost. THIS time, no excuses, no distractions. I've got my eye on the cheddar.

Owen: And to taste the foods! (Noah gives him a look) Winning, WHOO! (Noah stares at the camera, annoyed.).

- End Confessional -


Brother and sister were the next to do the zip-line, followed by the best friends.

"WE DID IT!" declared Devin as Carrie grabbed the tip, "You are the best!"

Carrie blushed at this remark.


- Team Confessional: Best Friends -

Devin: I HAD to do the race with Carrie. She's smart, fast, determined...

Carrie: Aww...

Devin: ... and my girlfriend Shelly was busy. (Carrie stared at the screen, shocked).

- End Confessional -


The mall goers were next, Eric was holding Hailey as she grabbed the tip. Behind them, the tennis rivals each held the same zip line with aggression.

"Need a hand?" Gerry asked, right before he pushed Pete with a shove of his hand, causing the poor senior to fall down to the lake, screaming, he himself said, "That was for Wimbleton in '77! (He then grabs of of the copies of the tip.) Gotcha (He then realized that he grabbed the tip with BOTH of his hand, letting go of the handlebars, causing him to fall) Aww, DANG IT! (He splashed into the lake.)"

Brother and Sister took notice of this, Elsa, saying, "Are they competing against all of US, or EACH OTHER?"


Meanwhile back at the skywalk, the last stretch of scare participants were still there. Owen was having an easy time staying firmly on the floor due to his weight. Noah on the other hand, looked like he was about to be taken away by the strong gusts of wind at any given moment. Owen actually took notice of this, saying, "You need to put on a few pounds." Unfortunately, the aforementioned statement proved true as Noah was suddenly starting to get drifted away by the wind! Owen grabbed on but was being pulled along with Noah, the latter's body acting like a sail in terms of this effect. Eventually they reached the door, and the edge of the skywalk! Owen had grabbed onto the wall connected to the door, hanging on for dear life. The next thing anyone knew, Noah was screaming, "DO NOT. LET. GO!"


- Team Confessional - Reality TV Pros -

Noah and Owen looked like a mess, all of their features fooled horrible, and their hair was sticking out of place.

Noah: (Stunned) Maybe doing this show wasn't such a good idea...

Owen: (Just as stunned) ... ... Maybe...

- End Confessional -


The Mall-Goers are now on the zip line themselves. While they zoomed down, Hailey was able to grab the next tip with ease. "Yes! Who-hoo!" Hailey cheered.

"Alright, way to go, Hailey!" Eric cheered.


- Team Confessional: Mall-Goers -

Eric: Hailey and I have our own unique skills, and a shared determination for this race. As long as we work together, there is nothing we cant accomplish.

Hailey: It's a good thing too. The competition means business, but we just need to keep working together and we'll be able come out on top in the end!

- End Confessional -


Next, the Police Cadets were at the zip line.

MacArthur declared, "First one to grab a tip gets the top bunk back at our dorm room."

Sanders simply said, "I ALREADY have the top bunk."

"Not for long!"

The two then headed down the zip line.


Next in the rooftop. The Surfer Dudes were the next team to finish the Stairs. Brody was cheering, saying, "Yeah! We did it!" Unfortunately he then screamed in pain, then promptly fell to the floor. He began to grasp his legs in pain, screaming "ARGH! My calves! MY CALVES!"

Geoff looked at his partner with worry as Yin & Yang made it out the Stairs, followed promptly by Father & Son. Dwayne was so out of breath, he would only let out wheezes every time he tried to talk to junior.

The next team out of the stairs was the Daters. "We did it baby!" Stephanie said.

Ryan noticed Geoff and Brody, then said, "Whoa, watch your step sweet cheeks."

He then picked her up and carried her on one of his large shoulders. She really like this, saying, "Mmm! I LOVE it when you get all gentleman-like!"


Noah and Owen finally got out of the skywalk, followed by the Geniuses, who were covered with vomit. Clearly, Noah had a weak stomach out there.

"Well that was illuminating," said Ellody, as she and Mary noticed a fly near them.


- Team Confessional: Geniuses -

The two were wiping the puke off.

Ellody: Based on the splatter, the wind velocity was... 45 knots. 20 more, and WE'D be splattered.

- End Confessional -


Carrie and Devin landed on the airport island, then read their tip, both of them saying, "Morocco? (Gasp) WOOHOO! (Laughs)." They both run to the airport, followed by the Mall-Goers.


The Police Cadets got their tip, while the Rockers, Seducers, Goths, and LARPers got out of the skywalk, in that order. Unfortunately, the Surfer Dudes were still stuck at the stair exit, Brody still in pain saying, "Argh, leg cramp!" While Geoff was reassuring him, the Stepbrother were finally out of stairs!


The next teams down the zip line, in order, were the Sisters, Geniuses, Vegans, Father & Son, Yin & Yang, Fashion Bloggers, Mother & Daughter, and the Reality TV Pros. Don commented on this saying, "As more teams get themselves on flights one and two, the race to NOT come in last intensifies."


The Adversity Twins ALSO pass the Surfer dudes, Jay saying, "Almost there Mickey, stay with me!"

Mickey was being dragged along the floor, wide eyed, and delusional, he was muttering something weird that sounded like, "I'm a dainty princess..."

Then the Superfans stepped out of the stairs, runing more slowly then when they started, Topher saying, "Finally!"

Sierra just gave him all look of disapproval as they ran past the Surfer Dudes, Geoff telling his partner, "Come ON bro, we gotta MOVE!"

Geoff then proceeded to drag Brody with him to the zip line. Brody reacted to the sudden movement, saying, "(In pain) Potassium. NEED POTASSIUM!"

Geoff called out, "DOES ANYBODY HAVE A BANANA!?" which got him a weird look from the tour guide.


As the seducers get their tip they blow kisses while smirking at the camera as they go down the zip line. Behind them were the Stepbrothers.

"GET OFF!" Said Lorenzo, who was with Chet, going down the zip line, "I snagged it, I read it!" But then, they hit the bottom, followed by the Superfans, then by the Surfer Dudes.

"Sorry," Said Geoff to the other two teams, "Thanks for breaking our fall, dudes! (Reads the tip in Lorenzo's hand) Morocco? Guy! Awesome!"

Geoff jumped out of the way, followed by Yin & Yang, The Stepbrothers were trying to get up as the Seducers passed them, but the guys were trampled, AGAIN, this time by the Adversity Twins.

"(Finally lucid again) WOW!" Said Mickey, "I can't believe we did it! Oh (Notices the stepbrothers) Uh... sorry."

Jay then reads the tip aloud, "Take the next flight to Morocco. (To Mickey) Come on!"

Mickey simply says, "(With both worry and sarcasm) Yay. Flying."


After they left we see the Tennis Rivals, who have finally got out of the water. Then Don does the last V.O. of the episode.

"The teams have arrived, and the flights have been booked.

Flight number one will carry Father & Son, Best Friends, Daters, Seducers, Police Cadets, Ice Dancers, Mall-Goers, and the Reality TV Pros.

Flight number two will carry the Sisters, Vegans, Fashion Bloggers, Steampunks, Mom & Daughter, Rockers, Yin & Yang, and the Geniuses.

And flight number three carries the LARPers, Goths, Surfer Dudes, Brother & Sister, Adversity Twins, Stepbrothers, Superfans, and Tennis Rivals.

Who will win the first leg of our race? Tune in next time to find out. The Ridonculous Race... is To Be Continued! (Ends with his signature flashy grin)"
