Episode 2 - "Homeowners Are Pretty Finicky Here" (Randy)
11 teams remain as we head for Ghana in the 2nd leg of the CARTOON AMAZING RACE!
Phil Keoghan: (voiceover) Previously on THE AMAZING RACE...12 teams gathered at the Starting Line in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where they learned of a game-changing prize.
Phil: If you win this first leg of the race, you'll win an EXPRESS PASS. You'll also recieve a SECOND EXPRESS PASS that you must give to another team before the end of the 5th leg!
Phil Keoghan (voiceover): Once in England, Dipper & Mabel fell to last when they couldn't find their bearings.
Dipper: Seems to me that we've been going around in circles all day, Mabel.
Mabel: We're in last right now because of bad directions. Man, I hate it when that happens.
Phil Keoghan: (voice) While at Eastnor Castle, cousins Twister & Clio couldn't stay afloat. At a mideval Roadblock, Kitty took a shot from a watermelon misfire...but battled back to defeat her foe.
Kitty: Never mess with TUFF!
Phil Keoghan: (voice) Otto & Reggie came in first and won two Express Passes...while Dipper & Mabel came in last.
Phil: Dipper & Mabel...you have been eliminated from the race.
Phil Keoghan: (voiceover) 11 teams remain, who'll be eliminated...NEXT?

THE AMAZING RACE
('Rule Britannia')
We begin with some shots of downtown London, England, including shots of Stonehenge, Big Ben and the London Eye. Then, Phil Keoghan begins the episode.
Phil Keoghan: This is Eastnor Castle, nestled in the English countryside. This massive estate was the first Pit Stop in a race around the world. Otto & Reggie won the last leg of the race. They will depart first at...
5:52 AM - Day 3
Otto: Leg 2 comin' up, Rocket Girl!
Reggie: Here we go, Otto!
ROUTE INFO:
Fly to the city of Accra, Ghana!
Phil Keoghan: Teams must now fly over 3100 miles to the city of Accra in the west African nation of Ghana. When they land, they'll make their way to Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park. This monument, dedicated to the father of Ghanian independence, is where teams will find their next clue.
Reggie: CAUTION: A Double U-Turn will appear at some point in this leg!
Goodbye, Europe! Hello, Africa! Also...that's right! A Double U-Turn on leg 2!
Otto: We better get going!
Otto: (confessional) We have a newfound confidence after winning the Express Pass yesterday and there's the opportunity to win something called the Salvage Pass.
Reggie: If you win the Salvage Pass, you can either use it to get a 1 hour head start at the start of a leg or save a team, including yourselves, from elimination at a Pit Stop.
Otto: And it's good until leg 10, so we'll have time to decided upon whether to use it or not.
Now, here's how the Salvage Pass works:
A team that wins the Salvage Pass can use it up until leg 10 to either:
A. Obtain a 1 hour head start on a leg
B. Save themselves from elimination at a Pit Stop
or
C. Save another team from elimination at a Pit Stop
Other departure times:
Duke & Tristan: 5:52 AM
Guy & Kelly: 5:58 AM
Randy & Heidi: 6:05 AM
Jim & Tim: 6:18 AM
Twister & Clio: 6:23 AM
Dudley & Kitty: 6:31 AM
Abby & Cree: 6:43 AM
Candace & Jeremy: 6:55 AM
TJ & Vince: 7:26 AM
Phil Keoghan: All teams are now on a 6 hour flight to Accra, Ghana.
During the flight, teams hatched a U-Turn plan. Otto and Reggie decided that they would U-Turn Randy and Heidi in an attempt to eliminate Team Norrisville from the race early. Reggie was able to get the other teams, including Twister and Clio, on board.
2:20 PM: Accra, Ghana
GUY & KELLY
Currently in 1st Place
Kelly: Cluebox up ahead, Guy!
Guy: I'm on it!
ROUTE INFO:
Make your way to Makola Market!
Phil: Teams must now make their way to Makola Market, where they'll find their next clue.
Kelly: Guy, come on! We're in the lead! We gotta go!
OTTO & REGGIE
Currently in 2nd Place
Otto: Make your way...
RANDY & HEIDI
Currently in 3rd Place
Heidi: ...to Makola Market
TWISTER & CLIO
Currently in 4th Place
Twister: ...across the street from the main entrance.
In a city like Accra, bustling with many marketplaces, one can easily get lost, especially in a race around the world. That's exactly what happened to the 11 remaining teams. Yet somehow, TJ and Vince found their way to the next cluebox.
2:55 PM
TJ & VINCE
Currently in 1st Place
TJ: ROADBLOCK...
TWISTER & CLIO
Currently in 2nd Place
Clio: Who thinks they can handle some shady dealing?
Phil Keoghan: The African sun burns bright in the city of Accra, so sunglasses are one of the most popular items for sale. Now teams must compete in a sea...of local vendors. In this Roadblock, one team member must sell as many sunglasses as it takes to make 15 cedis...about 10 dollars, while not selling any pair for less than 3 cedis. Then teams must present the money to the lead vendor to get their next clue.
Roadblock Count:
Twister: 1, Clio: 1
Otto: 1, Reggie: 1
Randy: 2, Heidi: 0
Duke: 1, Tristan: 1
Dipper: 1, Mabel: 0 (ELIMINATED)
Jim: 1, Tim: 1
TJ: 1, Vince: 1
Guy: 2, Kelly: 0
Abigail: 1, Cree: 1
Linus: 1, Lucy: 1
Dudley: 1, Kitty: 1
Candace: 1, Jeremy: 1
Little word of warning: Don't have Reggie Rocket do a selling task on 'Amazing Race'. It will not work! Same goes for Candace Flynn and Tim Possible!
CANDACE & JEREMY
Currently in 7th Place
Candace: Sunglasses anyone? You guys, thank you! 5 cedi.
JIM & TIM
Twin Brothers
Jim: Tim's having serious issues with this. I'm starting to think that maybe I should've done the Roadblock.
Tim: It's alright, bro! I got the money!
Jim: Hoo-sha! Let's get the clue.
ROUTE INFO:
Make your way to the June 4th area and find Peace Motor Spare Parts to pick up your next clue.
Teams arrived at Peace Motor Spare Parts in this order:
1st: Jim & Tim
2nd: Randy & Heidi
3rd: Guy & Kelly
4th: Otto & Reggie
5th: Twister & Clio
6th: Duke & Tristan
7th: Dudley & Kitty
8th: Abby & Cree
9th: TJ & Vince
10th: Candace & Jeremy
11th: Linus & Lucy
3:40 PM
Tim: Detour - Tune In or Check Out?
Phil: The creativity and ingenuity of the local people can be seen everywhere in Ghana. The result is a distinctive lifestyle that presents our teams with a unique Detour. The choice: TUNE IN or CHECK OUT. In TUNE IN, teams make their way to this electrical supply store and pick up a television antenna system. Then, they must find a marked house and install the antenna to the specifications of the owner. When teams get the TV signal properly tuned in, the owner will hand them their next clue. In CHECK OUT, teams make their way to this woodworking shop, where coffins are created to represent the lifestyle of their eventual occupants. Once they choose a coffin, they must transport it through the backstreets of town to this showroom...Hello Coffin, where they'll recieve their next clue.
TUNE IN:
Jim & Tim
Abby & Cree
Randy & Heidi
CHECK OUT:
Linus & Lucy
Otto & Reggie
Twister & Clio
Dudley & Kitty
Duke & Tristan
Candace & Jeremy
TJ & Vince
Guy & Kelly
Another word of warning: For someone who isn't mechanically inclined, a Detour that deals with TV antennas...may not be the smartest choice. However, when your other Detour option is carrying a 30 pound coffin through town, I guess it's the lesser of 2 evils.
(TUNE IN Detour)
RANDY & HEIDI
Dating
Randy: Homeowners are pretty finicky here, Team Rocket.
OTTO & REGGIE
Brother\Sister
Otto: You're telling us, Cunningham!
Reggie: We're not in Ocean Shores anymore, Rocket Boy!
Heidi: Did you get it, Randy?
Randy: Got it!
Heidi: Try it now.
Local: Good. (hands a clue to Randy and Heidi)
Randy: Thank you!
Otto: NICE! U-Turn coming up here, Reggie.
Heidi: ROUTE INFO - Make your way to the Jamestown Lighthouse.
Reggie: CAUTION: DOUBLE U-TURN AHEAD!
Phil Keoghan: This is a Double U-Turn, where 2 teams have the opportunity to slow down 2 other teams, forcing them to preform both sides of the Detour. In this case, any team that U-Turns another will remain anonymous.
Randy: Let's motor!
Unfortunately, it was Linus and Lucy, among others, who decided to CHECK OUT the coffin Detour.
(CHECK OUT Detour)
Lucy: So we need to find a coffin and deliver it to a showroom.
Linus: Let's pick this one, shaped like a camera.
Lucy: You want the camera, Linus?
Linus: I want to go for the camera.
Lucy: We'll take the camera.
Linus: Holy Great Pumpkin! This is heavy!
Lucy: Linus, you're such a blockhead! There! You have a clue for us?
Linus: Thank you! CAUTION: DOUBLE U-TURN AHEAD!
At the Jamestown Lighthouse, Otto and Reggie were the first to find the Double U-Turn and now had a choice to make - stay true to their word and U-Turn Randy & Heidi or not U-Turn anyone at all?
4:40 PM
(Double U-Turn)
Otto: Alright, we're first!
Reggie: You want to U-Turn anyone?
Otto: No way! We're in first, we're safe as is. We choose not to U-Turn anyone. Pit Stop coming up.
ROUTE INFO:
Make your way to the next Pit Stop! Hurry! The last team to check in MAY be eliminated!
Phil Keoghan: Teams must now make their way to Kaneshie Market, one of the largest markets in all of west Africa. Once there, teams must navigate through the crush of people and vendors to this bridge, the Pit Stop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in here...MAY BE ELIMINATED!
Otto: We gotta move it, Reggie!
RANDY & HEIDI
Currently in 2nd Place
Heidi: There's the U-Turn.
Randy: Otto & Reggie were just here. We're gonna U-Turn Guy & Kelly.
Heidi: We choose to U-Turn Guy & Kelly.
2 taps of the touch screens...that's all it took to send Guy & Kelly back to the other end of the Detour. Needless to say that they were not pleased when they found out they had to do the TUNE IN Detour.
U-Turn: GUY & KELLY
GUY & KELLY
Currently in 3rd Place
Guy: U-Turn right there!
Kelly: Oh my God!
Guy: Someone U-Turned us. Thank goodness it's a Double U-Turn, so we can U-Turn a team that's further behind.
Kelly: Who do you want to U-Turn?
Guy: Jim & Tim.
Kelly: We choose to U-Turn Jim & Tim.
U-Turn: JIM & TIM
JIM & TIM
Currently in 4th Place
Jim: There it is! Tim, we're U-Turned.
The Genius Twins didn't take their U-Turn too well either. Having to lug a 30 pound coffin across town...not fun at all! Worst of all, it was a Blind U-Turn, so they don't know who U-Turned them!
(Confessional)
Tim: We get to the U-Turn mat and see our faces on it, I had it narrowed down to either Otto & Reggie or Randy & Heidi. They were the only ones in front of us at the Detour.
Jim: It was probably Randy & Heidi, Tim! Heidi's a manipulating shrew of a teenage girl. She could've U-Turned us!
Tim: Whatever, let's just go back and do the other Detour.
This Pit Stop race was over before it started as Team Rocket (No, not THAT Team Rocket) ran to the mat and stuck the landing over 7 minutes ahead of their nearest competitors.
5:18 PM
Phil Keoghan: Otto & Reggie, once again you are TEAM #1! You have won the SALVAGE PASS! Congratulations!
5:25 PM
Phil: Randy & Heidi, you are TEAM #2! Twister & Clio, that makes you TEAM #3!
5:34 PM
Phil: Duke & Tristan, you are TEAM #4!
5:41 PM
Phil: Abby & Cree, you are TEAM #5!
5:50 PM
Phil: Candace & Jeremy, you are TEAM #6!
5:57 PM
Phil: TJ & Vince, you are TEAM #7!
6:06 PM
Phil: Guy & Kelly, you are TEAM #8!
6:13 PM
Phil: Dudley & Kitty, you are TEAM #9!
6:40 PM
Phil: Linus & Lucy, you're the 10th team to arrive, but you did not complete the Detour and have incurred a 6 hour penalty that you must wait out before I can check you in. Please step off the mat.
7:04 PM
Phil Keoghan: Jim & Tim, you're the last team to arrive. However, since Linus & Lucy are waiting out a penalty, you are officially TEAM #10! YOU ARE STILL IN THE RACE! Linus & Lucy, come on over. Linus & Lucy, you're the last team to arrive. I'm sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race.
Lucy: Thanks a lot, you blockhead! You got us eliminated, Linus!
