- Author's Notes -
Usually Don would be doing a recap before we get to these notes, but I'm afraid that wont be the case this time around. We will just start with the notes: Shall we?
First, Reviews from those with accounts on this site...
Meowth's Toon Dragon: I'm glad you like the story. I just hope that opinion will remain unchanged.
Now, the Reviews left behind by Guests.
AA: Thank you for the comment. It means a lot. Trust me.
Now that the replies are out of the way, let's get to the story, right?
- End Author's Notes -
Let's start with Don's V.O. Shall we? Don states that, "16 Teams are already on their way to Morocco. The other 8 are still at the airport... waiting anxiously..."
These six teams are having light conversation with one another about the usual thing. Well, the usual thing that's normal for THEM anyway. Just look at the Adversity Twins...
Mickey was offering hand sanitizer to his twin and partner, Jay, who replied, "No need, I made a point of not touching ANYTHING with my bare hands. Juice?" He asked, holding up a juice box... wearing mittens on his hands... MITTENS.
"GREETINGS Gentlemen!" Leonard declared, him and his partner, Tammy, literally popping up out of nowhere, "What say ye to an amalgamation of adversaries? A weaving of wizards and doppelgangers to rule them all!" After this little offer, Tammy threw a bunch of confetti into the air... Which alarmed Jay, who yelled, "AHHH! I'm allergic to confetti!"
"Jay," Yelled Mickey, going after him, "Your calamine lotion!"
Another example would be the Stepbrothers... Chet was on one of the payphones, calling home.
"Your plan's not gonna work, mom!" he can be heard saying, "We're not gonna become friends! (Hearing his mother on the other line) Because Lorenzo is a POO-HEAD! That's why! Can't you just divorce his dad!?"
Unfortunately Lorenzo came by, hearing that last part, then had an argument with the Stepbrother, saying, "HEY, Is that my DAD?"
"No my mom- !"
"DAD! (Lorenzo snatched the phone away from Chet) YOU GOTTA DIVORCE CHET'S MOM!"
"(Chet grabbing the phone back) Quit it! (They both try to pull the phone away from each other, like there was no tomorrow) Let go! MOM!"
"DAD!"
Meanwhile, the LARPers tried the same thing with the Goths. "Salutations!" He said, "We wish to propose an unstoppable adjoining of alchemy and alabaster! To vanquish those who dare to cross us!" Once again Tammy throws confetti in the air. The Goths simply sit there, and continue to stare forward, completely bored at everything around them. Leonard tries again saying, "Surely, you shall not say nay?" Unfortunately the Goths simply sigh and walk away. Tammy then threw more confetti into the air, surprising Leonard. "Come on Tammy," He said, "Go easy on that, we only have the one bag." Tammy simple threw more confetti.
- Team Confessional: LARPers -
Leonard: Tammy and I first met in freshman year, and we were immediately very close.
Tammy: We were stuffed into the same locker...
Leonard: ... and the friendship was FORGED as we calmly ate out lunches and waited for the janitor to locate the bolt cutters!
- End Confessional -
Don, does a V.O. explaining the next challenge and it's location, "Morocco, originally called Italy, until it was discovered that there ALREADY was an Italy! Home to scorchingly hot foods as well as scorchingly hot deserts! Flight Number One has just landed. (We now see Don standing right next to a Don box right outside the airport entrance.) Now the Teams must find this Don Box and collect their next travel tip!"
The Ice Dancers are the first ones to press the button and grab the tip. After the entire group got their tip at hand, Jacques read his copy aloud. "The Spice is right... " he said, "(Gasp) (Cheery voice) It's an All In!"
Don is scene walking toward a kiosk, saying to the audience, "An All In is a challenge that requires BOTH team members to participate. In this case, teams must make their way to Yusef's Spice Kiosk and choose five spices from the bountiful array. Some are- (Yusef slaps Don's hand away from the spices) OW! Some are sweet, while some are so blisteringly hot, they'll turn your insides into a molten volcano of pain!"
The individual teams read the tip which says.
"Pick five spices from the kiosk, ideally cumin, cinnamon, paprika, saffron, and ginger to receive your next travel tip."
Unfortunately the Reality TV Pros were the last ones to read the tip, as all the OTHER teams in the group ran right through them like a stampede. They rished to the taxi stop, each team getting into their own taxi, and the group just took off. Owen simply lifted his arm with the tip held firmly in hand, off the ground, yelling "TAXI!"
Inside the individual Taxi Cars some of the teams were engaging in conversation. Take Father & Son for Example.
"Isn't this nice" Dwayne asked his son, "Right into a taxi and headed strait for spice town! (he takes his son by the shoulder and pulls him close, y'know, the way fathers typically do) We're doing great pal (Laughs). Yeah!"
Junior simply groans at his embarrassment...
- Team Confessional: Father & Son -
Dwayne: I'm Dwayne, this is Dwayne Junior.
Junior: They already know that...
Dwayne: Uh, we're a father and son team...
Junior: They know that too, dad.
Dwayne: Well, we're gonna WIN this thing! Betcha they didn't know that! (Laughs) News flash! (Does a noise with his voice similar to a cheesy news opening theme) Just in, father and son team win the million! (does the crowd-going-crazy noise)
- End Confessional -
- Taxi Confessional: Reality TV Pros -
Owen: Even after Total Drama World Tour, I'm still kinda scared of flying... So, I have this to help! (Holds a stuffed teddy bear in his hands.) His named Bearie, (snorts in laughter) get it?
Noah: (Bored and emotionless) Because he's a bear?
Owen: (Happy) Yeah! (Laughs) He keeps me calm during flights. Noah doesn't like him that much, but he sure likes Noah! (Owen then repeatedly and playfully shoves the bear at Noah face, while Noah simple sits there, his expression unchanged.) (Imitates childish voice) Oh yes I do!
- End Confessional -
Another example would be with the Seducers. Who were having a strategy meeting in their Taxi.
"So... what do you think of the others?" Rosa asked Madison. She replied with, "Child's play, we'll have them worshiping us in no time. And I even have a few ideas on who to attract first (sinister smile)..."
"That million will be ours by seasons end," Rose said, more to herself then to Madison.
- Team Confessional: Seducers -
Madison: Okay. Truth be told, we don't REALLY need the money. We're both already rich. We came to this show for other reasons. I came for the men.
Rose: And I simply came for the glory of winning and the fame that comes with it. Because, well, who wouldn't want to gloat over their first international victory, right?"
- End Confessional -
Don does another V.O. saying, "Meanwhile, the teams on flight 2 are preparing for cold-hearted battle."
In the flight Jen was reading a fashion magazine, saying "Oh, I'd look SO good in that."
Unfortunately she couldn't really focus on the article due to Tom's snoring. She then reached above her for the emergency O2 mask, and pulled it over Tom's face, muffling his snoring instantly.
- Team Confessional: Rockers -
Rock: Spud and I have never been on a plane before... Not scared though, I've seen LOTS of planes on TV.
Spud: (Listening in) Uhh... Oh, yeah! I love that cartoon!
- End Confessional -
Don does another V.O. as we go back to the kiosk, "Some of the teams from Flight 1 have already reached the spice, kiosk." And true enough the Daters, Ice Dancers, Police Cadets, Best Friends, and Mall-Goers were running right up to the sacks and baskets of spices in front. Unfortunately...
"Hey," MacArthur said, "These aren't labeled. Why aren't they labeled?"
"It's this one," cried Carrie, "This is cinnamon! This is cinnamon! This is cinnamon!"
- Team Confessional: Best Friends -
Devin: (Playfully) Cinnamon! Cinnamon-cinnamon-cinnamon! (He and Carrie share a laugh).
Carrie: You TOTALLY would've missed it homie.
Devin: (To the camera) We call each other "Homie" (to Carrie) and as IF I would've missed it.
Carrie: I'm the one who LIVES for cinnamon lattes.
Devin: YEAH, which you constantly spill on me!
Carrie: (Laughs) Fair enough. I'll never doubt your ability to detect cinnamon ever again.
- Team Confessional: Mall-Goers -
Eric: I can tell which spices are which. I study the culinary world as a hobby.
Hailey: That's gonna come in handy for this challenge.
Eric: BUT, I decided to be fair and let the other teams try to take the spices on their own.
- End Confessional -
Eric looked as Stephanie was trying to identify the cumin. She sniffed one of the bags, then went pre-mental saying, "Wait! (Points to the bag she sniffed) THAT'S cumin. Yes. UH, no... wait... Yes! No! YES... ... (Directly at Yusef's face) SCOOP IT!"
Eventually, all of the teams present had made their choices for the five spices. Don does the next V.O. saying, "After selecting five spices, the Teams get their next travel tip from Yusef." Jacques gasped in shock when he read his copy of the tip, saying, "We have to ride to a restaurant in the desert... on a CAMEL!" I can honestly say that those camels were torture to witness, the ones in real-life Egypt looked more sanitary than those poor thins. And the spit, UGH! ... Wait... I broke the fourth wall didn't I... ... SORRY! I'll just get back to the show...
We now see each of the six teams riding camels through the desert.
Hailey was suffering so much. "I hate this," she said, "It's hot, I'm sweaty, and these camels smell like crap!"
MacArthur hear that last remark. Never a friend of personal hygiene until the last minute, she smelled her pits, then was instantly repulsed, "Sh-She's Right!" she exclaimed, trying to hide it, "I-It's DEFINITELY the camels!" Sanders gave her a weird look. Don proceeds with his voice over, saying, "As the first Teams head off into the desert, Flight 2 has arrived in Morocco." Everyone in from the second flight got into taxis, except for Mom & Daughter who was left behind as Taylor yelled out, "Taxi! Hurry UP, mom! (Kelly running behind her)"
Don. V.O. again, "Meanwhile, Flight 3 is FINALLY up in the air... and teams discuss some strategy."
We see Sierra looking out the window, smiling at the view. Topher who is sitting next to her, gives her a look of disapproval. She turns and notices this. "Look," she said, "I won the coin toss for the window seat, fair and square, okay? So, just deal with it."
- Team Confessional: Superfans -
Topher: Sierra's just jealous that I'm the REAL Chris McLean fan between the two of us.
Sierra: (Gasping in shock) I can't believe- ! I wasn't the one who tried to REPLACE him as the host of Total Drama!
Topher: (aggressive) Well at least I wasn't the one who was tricked into embarrassing him on international television! Isn't that right, Ms. Fametown? (Sierra got wide-eyed at this, then angrily slapped Topher. HARD.)
- End Confessional -
Meanwhile the Reality TV Pros, Seducers, and Father & Son were finally at the Spice Kiosk. Unfortunately, Owen was having a hard time with the spices... "Um... I, uh... um... "
- Team Confessional: Reality TV Pros -
Owen: Picking the right spices was hard, but I didn't panic.
- End Concessional -
Owen was right, he didn't panic... He went absolutely ballistic, screaming in fear, "Why do they all look the SAME!? (Running away) AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The other two teams present gave an awkward stare. Then the Seducers simply ordered 5 random spices from the kiosk, and went on their merry way... with grim looks on their faces as the prospect of having to ride a filthy animal. Dwayne looked at everyone with concern.
- Team Confessional: Father & Son -
Dwayne: It's not a MAN'S job to know spices. (Proudly) Back in ancient times, WOMEN were the spice collectors, while MEN were the HUNTERS! (Laughs) Yep! Those were the days! Men had the power and-
Junior: (Interrupting) You know mom's gonna see this, right dad?
Dwayne: (In absolute shock, realizing what his son JUST said was true) And, uh, times have changed! (Laughs nervously) Yay.
Junior simply does a facepalm.
- End Confessional -
Junior notices a group of Taxi Cars heading their way. "Oh no, the other teams are heading this way!" he said, "We're gonna loose our lead!"
"Alright, new plan!" Dwayne said, "Well do the same thing those girls (Seducers) just did and just pick any random 5!"
"Good Call," said Noah, who now had a slightly calmer Owen with him, "(To Yusef) Just give us the five closest to you. (Yusef shows a look of concern. Apparently, he CAN understand English) C'mon man, snap to it! My teammate will eat anything. I even saw him chow down on half a shower curtain!" Owen heard that last part and said innocently, "There were pictures of cupcakes on it..."
- Team Confessional: Geniuses -
Ellody: We predict, there's an eating element to the next challenge. So, picking the right spices is of the utmost importance.
- End Confessional -
"Cumin. Cinnamon. Paprika. Saffron. Ginger." Ellody of the Geniuses and Laurie of the Vegans got all 5 spices right in under 3 seconds flat! "That was SURPRISINGLY elementary," said Ellody.
"I know, right?" replied Laurie. Both teams got their tip copies. Don does, his next V.O. saying, "As more teams reach the spice kiosk, Flight 3 has finally landed in Morocco. They'll need to hurry it up if they want a chance at catching up to the Teams already in search of The Culinary."
We now see the Sisters at the kiosk. "Last one!" declared Emma. They got the other four spices right, all that's left was the cumin... "I think it's this one," said Kitty, pointing at a random sack, JUST as the Adversity Twins were Finally Catching up. Same with Yin & Yang.
"We don't have time for guessing games, Kit!" said Emma, "Uh... I don't know... (points to a random basket) This one? (Yusef scoops the spice up)"
"So YOU can guess but I CAN'T?"
"Mine is an EDUCATED guess. Can you PLEASE not throw a temper tantrum right now!?"
Kitty just stood there, wide-eyed. The then followed her sister in defeat, choosing not to make an audible reaction, especially with her sister's added cry of, "HURRY UP!"
- Commercial Break -
"Is THIS one cinnamon?"
Jay had been looking at some of the spices with curiosity... unfortuately when he SNIFFED that one particular sack, he sneezed, sending the contents flying everywhere, including all over the Adversity Twins! Jay was sneazing, while Mickey, seems to have a very hard time breathing. Yin & Yang stood there, wathing the whole thing happen.
- Team Confessional: Adversity Twins -
Mickey: Apparently, we can't breathe in cinnamon.
- Team Confessional: Yin & Yang -
Greg: WOW. (with concern) Those two are REALLY unlucky...
- End Confessional -
Don, via V.O. says, "While the last of the teams finally pick out their spices, they STILL have a long journey ahead of them!"
First we see the Vegans who were walking alongside their camel instead of riding it...
- Team Confessional: Vegans -
Laurie: Our camel, Bennefred, was beautiful, and the desert sun can be harsh. If we win the million, we'll lauch a "stop riding camels campain."
Miles: "Take hikes, not humps!"
Laurie: Or... we could call it something else... (awkward pause)
- End confessional -
... Then we see the Steampunks, who were making good time and a steady pace with their camel. "Next stop, the restaurant!" declared, Wayne.
- Team Confessional: Steanpunks -
Wayne: I really don't mind hot weather like this.
Cynthia: It's usually the cold that gets us ticked off.
Wayne: We are in our element out here. (Grins)
- End Confessional -
"Things are starting to heat up as the Police Cadets are the first to reach the desert restaurant," said Don through V.O. Sanders went to the Don Box next to the restaurant kiosk while MacArthur layd next to their camel, weak from the dessert trek. "I can't take this heat," she moaned, "Someone turn off the sun!"
Sanders looked at the tip, saying, "It's a botch or watch... 'just stew it.' huh"
MacArthur, slightly weak, said, "A Botch or Watch... That's the type of challenge only one of us has to do right?"
Botch or Watch: "Just Stew it." Hand your spices over to the chef, so he can add them to a bowl of traditional Moroccan Stew, which one of you MUST eat. When you finish your stew, race on foot as fast as you can to the Chill Zone.
After hearing Sanders read the tip out loud, MacArthur said, "Oh boy... I sure hope we picked the right spices, or this could get ugly FAST!
"Remember!" said Don, from the Chill Zone, "The last team to reach this Chill Zone, WILL be cut from the Race!"
The Police Cadets receive their stew. MacArthur is no longer weak, but becomes VERY nervous as the sight of the stew, "I can't do it," she said, "I'm sweatin' like a perp being questioned inside a hot dog cart!"
"Okay, ew, gross," said Sanders.
The next three teams to arrive at one were the Mall-Goers, Ice Dancers and Best friends. Speaking of the Ice Dancers, Josee was looking at a rabbit's foot in her hand, saying, "Come on, Bun-Bun. DON'T let us down..."
- Team Confessional: Ice Dancers -
Josee: (Holding "Bun-Bun") I'm not superstitious or anything. I just believe that this rabbit's foot is responsible for everything good in my life.
Jacques: Can I rub it?
Josee: (Laughs, but turns serious, still smiling calmly) Of course you can't!
- End Confessional -
We now see a scene in the desert. Father & Son were currently, with a VERY weak camel. It has fainted and Dwayne was trying to pull it forward. The LARPers passed by, riding their own, Leonard saying, "I do not wish to overstep, but 'tis far easier to RIDE the camel."
Dwayne angrily replied, "Well, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
"(Genuine) You're welcome!"
- Team Confessional: Father & Son -
Dwayne: Our camel broke down earlier during the race.
Junior: It fainted because you kept hitting it, dad.
Dwayne: (Laughs nervously)
- End Confessional -
The LARPers then passed the Vegans who had their own things to say.
(Miles) "Take Hikes, Not Humps!"
(Laurie) "Okay, that slogan is really growing on me."
- Team Confessional: Vegans -
Laurie: Miles and I became friends when we met during an anti-meat meeting.
Miles: When Laurie suggested that we just call them "Ings" instead of "MEAT-ings," I knew we were gonna get along.
- End Confessional -
Don, via V.O. says, "While the LARPers dig themselves out of last place, the race for first heats up as more teams dive into the restaurant challenge!"
Don is actually right, all of the teams, save for Father & Son, the Vegans, and the LARPers, were already present, all ready to take the stew.
- Solo Confessional: Carrie -
Devin was slurping his stew up, meanwhile from afar, Carrie was looking at him, staring at him. "(Dreamily) Oh," she said, "Devin... (She turns around and noticed the camera behind her) (Shocked) Uhh... ! That- That was- I was just... ... (Blurt it out) Okay I love him! I fell in love with him ever since we were four and he peed in my turtle pool. I mean, that's not WHY I love him, that's just when it started! But after all this time, how do I tell him? And what if he doesn't feel the same way... I mean... he already has a girlfriend, SHELLY... (goes wide-eyes realizing) ... who will see this on TV. (Facepalms) What am I doing!?
- End Confessional -
Devin then suddenly lifted his now empty bowl in the air, screaming, "YEAH! DONE! WOOHOO!" Carrie went to hug him. He then said saying, "Come on, we're in FIRST!"
The next team to finish their stew was the Steampunks, Cyntha was the one who finished. Afterwards she wiped her mouth, then told her brother, "Finished! Shall we?"
- Team Confessional: Steampunks -
Cynthia: Truth be told, I already tasted Moroccan stew before so I was the one who would eat it this time. (Wayne was about to say something, but Cynthia just covered his mouth with her hand) You DON'T want to know...
- End Confessional -
Another team to mention would be the Police Cadets. Sanders was calmly slurping her stew, while lightly wiping her mouth with EVERY. SINGLE. SIP. It lasted for a few second. Then, finally, MacArthur just lost it, saying, "Stop WIPING. Your face. And CHUG!"
Sanders argued that, "THIS is how CIVILIZED people eat."
"This ain't a tea party! It's a RACE for a million dollars. NOW CHUG! (forcefully moving the bowl to a higher angle, giving sanders no choice BUT to chug. In a few seconds the bow was empty, MacArthur holding it high in the air.) FREEZE! I mean, DONE! WHOO! (Then noticed the mess the stew left on Sanders' face) Oh... Allow me to get that for you princess. (She then vigorously wiped Sanders' face clean. Sanders just has this awkward pause on her face.)
Unfortunately this little moment stopped then and there, as the two hears Jacques squealing with joy. They looked and saw Josee, slurping her bowl of stew. Cleanly, and quickly. While, at the same time, doing a balance pose. "A wonderful performance of grace and efficiency!" he declared, "BRAVO!"
MacArthur said, "Uh-oh... Move it!" The Police Cadets began to run, the Ice Dancers not far behind.
Ahead, the Best Friends were running as fast as they can, victory was SO close! But then, Carrie tripped over a rock. When she tried to get up, she felt a slight pain on her left ankle. She wasn't hurt, but she knew she pulled something. As she tried again, Devin walked up to her, saying, "You okay, homie?"
The next thing they knew, Devin was carrying Carrie with a single arm wrapped around her, carrying her like a swing-set swing. "Whoa! (Laughs) Take it easy, Romeo," she said.
- Team Confessional: Best Friends -
Devin: You know, it would be awkward for most teams to be so close to each other, but Carrie and I? We're such good friends that it's like, pf, whatever!
Carrie: (Laughs briefly) Yeah, (short laugh again) Whatever! (awkward version of short laugh) Friends!
- End Confessional -
Meanwhile back at the restaurant, people were still doing the soup challenge. Geoff and Ellody decided to strike a conversation with one another, Geoff saying, "When I first met Brody, he was eating a cat's hairball on a dare! (Laughs) It was pure awesome!"
Ellody replied, "I met Mary at an Engineering Students' Potluck Dinner. We both brought Pie-Chart-Pie! (Does a nerdy laugh) We're quite whimsical."
At this, Geoff simply laughed, then absentmindedly said, "Pies..."
UN-Fortunately, things were going bad for both the Reality TV Pros, and Yin & Yang... they were the only two teams to get ALL. FIVE. SPICES. WRONG! ... And both Owen and Seth were suffering for it. Owen said, "Hot... HOT! (Panting, then Shoving the bowl in front of Noah) I think you picked the wrong spices!"
Noah simply replied with, "(Shoving Owen back) Oh, come on! I've seen you eat, you're about as picky as a raccoon; JUST DO IT!"
A similar conversation was happening next to them, "I... " Seth began, "I don't feel so hot... "
"Oh no... " said Greg, face full of worry. "Please tell me I didn't pick the wrong spices!"
Meanwhile on the trek to the Chill Zone, Sanders stomach felt like a grenade went off inside it (Three incorrect spices). "Ugh! Ohhh... " she moaned, "(Less moan-ish) I think I got a s-stew-cramp. Ohhh HURTS!"
MacArthur simple said, "Never leave a man behind. (Now she was CARRYING Sanders, again.)"
"OW! THIS hurts!"
"Not MY fault you've got no meat on your bones!"
Other's had LESS trouble with the stew. The sisters only got one spice wrong, for example, so the only bad thing they got was a bitter-sour taste for their stew. A taste like that, while not so puke inducing, still makes Emma feel repulsed. "Come on Emma," Kitty cheered, "You can do it!"
- Team Confessional: Sisters -
Emma: We chose one of the wrong spices.
Kitty: Um, you chose ALL 5 of the spices. (Get's a cold, stern look from Emma) ... which is good because... I was just gonna guess. (Let's out a loud breath of relief)
- End Confessional -
Tom was also slurping stew when Jen stopped him, "Whoa Tom, SLOW DOWN a sec! You don't want anything on that shirt!" Tom stopped, realizing it, and said, "(Gasp) YOU are SO right! Can you imagine?"
- Commercial Break -
Devin was still carrying, well, Carrie as he ran through the desert. Suddenly...
"LOOK!" Carrie said, pointing ahead of her. There it was...
The Chill Zone. They has cheered until the were finally on the Carpet of Completion. Don was there, He said "Welcome Best Friends to the Chill Zone! You two are the first ones to arrive! Congratulations."
The two cheered! At this incredible feat. They were first... and on the VERY first Episode! "WE DID IT (LAUGHS)!" Devin declared, "MAN!... ... I wish I could call Shelly."
"Yeah," Carrie said, a face full of awkward, "Shelly... "
- Team Confessional: Best Friends -
Devin: Coming in first was a bit of a shock. I mean... I knew we'd be a great team and all, but-
Carrie: First Place!? Wow!
- End Confessional -
Back at the stew challenge Seth was loosing it... he had swallowed all of his stew... but he looked... unwell. He was groaning in pain.
"Uh, dude?" Greg asked, "Are you okay?" He couldn't speak... then... Owen ACTUALLY swallowed camel spit. DISGUSTING. Greg managed to cover Seth's eyes so he wouldn't see this and puke... He himself, wasn't so lucky and blew out chunks...
The Same almost happened to Chet. The vomit was JUST entering his mouth when Lorenzo took notice of this and yelled, "Do NOT spit that out Chet, or we'll LOSE!"
- Team Confessional: Stepbrothers -
Lorenzo: My dad is a motivational speaker, and has taught me everything I need to know. (Grinning mischievously) Including how and when to be aggressive.
- End Confessional -
Lorenzo the looked directly into Chet's eyes, yelling, "Swallow! Do it! DO IT!" This ALONE was enough to convince Chet to swallow. Afterwards he then said, "My barf was actually less spicy than the stew... "
Unfortunately he said that a little TOO out loud, EVERY one else was on the verge of puking.
The LARPers and Vegans arrived at the scene, Leonard saying, "We have to eat our own BARF!?" This caused one of the CAMELS to puke. ALL OVER Miles' head!
To this camel puke, Laurie said, "(Gasp) REAL organic camel munch!" ... ... gross.
Luckily, Eric had JUST finished his bowl of stew. "DONE!" he cried in fear, "Hailey, let's get out of here before I puke my heart out!"
Feeling equally as queasy, Hailey replied with a classic, "You don't have to tell me twice!" The two then promptly ran off in the direction the Police Cadets went.
Speaking of the Police Cadets...
"OOOHHH! It HURTS! So Bad!" cried Sanders... the poor cadet... Anyway, they (well, more MacArthur than Sanders) were running along side the Steampunks, when all of a sudden, they heard a cheer from a voice with a French accent. The turned around, and sure enough, the Ice Dancers were right behind them. And catching up quickly! Jacques carrying Josee with a single hand! ... And the two of them were smiling, even though the rest of each of their faces had an expression of deep anger. Cynthia actually pointed this out saying, "Well, that's just creepy..." Unfortunately they (the Ice Dancers) crashed, headlong into a palm tree! Cynthia pointed this out as well, yelling out to them, "Way to go you, silvery numpties!" (British term for "Idiots") MacArthur followed in terms of insults saying, "HAH! Later Skaters! (To Sanders) Ya see what I did there?"
"Yeah," Sanders replied.
"Cause they're actual-"
"Yeah, I-I got it!"
Eventually the other teams began to finish their stew as well. But that was not enough for any of them to catch up with MacArthur... even the Steampunks were starting to lag behind. Unfortunately, the Ice Dancers, back on their feet, were catching up, FAST! They has passed the Steampunks, and were just about to pass the Police Cadets!
But MacArthur kept her ground, and ran even harder. With the finish line so close, MacArthur made one final leap! Literally. And landed on the center of the Carpet of Completion!
"Hey, who called the cops!?" Don joked. He then laughed before saying, "What FUN! You're Team Number Two Well Done! (As the Police Cadet's left, he then talked to the Ice Dancers) So... as a Canadian Ice Dancing Team, you probably hear this a lot... Third Place."
Josee smiled... but her left eye twitched...
- Team Confessional: Ice Dancers -
Josee, off-screen is trashing the entire room. Objects flying in and out of view, flung angrily, according to the wailing. A KNIFE ended up stuck to the poster behind the seats! During this whole thing, Jacques was sitting in the chair FARTHER from the destruction, curled up in fright, covering his head out of both fear and shame...
- End Confessional -
Don, via V.O. tells which team came in when:
"4th Place (Steampunks)! 5th Place (Mall-Goers)! 6th (Tennis Rivals)! 7th (Daters)! 8th (Surfer Dudes)! 9th (Brother & Sister)! 10th (Geniuses)! 11th (Reality TV Pros)! 12th (Rockers)! 13th (Seducers)! 14th (Fashion Bloggers)! 15th (Yin & Yang)! 16th (Sisters)!"
Emma was shocked "16th!?" she said to Kitty, "You've got to start doing more!"
Kitty replied, "I would LOVE to do more, please!"
"I will tell you when you can do more, okay? I will tell YOU!"
Back at the stew challenge, the last of the teams were all there (Father & Son, Vegans, Mom & Daughter, LARPers, Goths, Adversity Twins, Stepbrothers, and Superfans)! And the Superfans just finished their stew. The others were actually almost done!
"Ugh... " Topher groaned, "Worst meal of my life- "
"At least you've FINISHED it! MOVE" interrupted Sierra, who then pulled Topher, running towards the Chill Zone! The Adversity twins actually left without saying a word!
"Dad come on! You gotta eat this stew or we're gonnabe in last place!" Junior told his father, who replied, "(Pant) Yeah, in (pant) in... (pant) in a minute! (pant)"
"My mom's done!" Yelled Taylor as Mom & Daughter went to the Chill Zone themselves.
Even the Stepbrothers... MAN! "We're done!" Lorenzo said. Chet simply groaned, "I don't feel so good."
"That's cause you ate PUKE, puke-eater (Running towards the Chill zone)!"
"Yeah!? Well you're a... Puke... Eater-watcher! (Following his stepbrother)."
- Solo Confessional: Dwayne Junior -
Junior: I didn't sign up for this show, and I don't really want to be here. But now that I am, I SURE don't want to be the first team kicked out!
- End Confessional -
"Come ON dad" Junior told his father, "Like you always say to me, never say quit!"
"Actually its... never say never..."
"I don't really listen to you. Just get up and EAT!"
"17th!" declared Don as the Superfans made it to the Chill Zone. "YES!" They both cried, they smiled until they realized they said the exact same thing, and turned away from each other.
"18th (Adversity Twins)! 19th (Mother and Daughter)! 20th (Goths)! 21st (Stepbrothers)! Now there are only three teams left! The Vegans, the LARPers, and Father & Son. One of these teams, WILL be heading home."
"I hope we got the right spices... " Said Dwayne... unfortunately, they got 2 of the spices wrong... and created a fireball stew. The proof? A fly landed on stew... and burst into flames.
"Dad," Junior told his father, "we are in LAST PLACE you've gotta hurry, and down this stew!"
At that moment the LARPers finished their stew, yelling things like, "Level Completed!" or "Onward to victory!"
Dwayne looked back to his son, then to the stew. He just stood there for a second... then he literally pour the stew down his throat, shouting a war cry as he did so! "Whoa... " went his son, clearly impressed with this act. Unfortunately...
"We're done!" the Vegans had also left! Junior and his dad really WERE in last place! Luckily, Dwayne had finished the stew. Junior screamed, "DONE!" But, the moment he did his fathers eyes somehow FORCED themselves out of focus! "Oh no!" The poor man cried, "Temporary blindness! I can't see!"
"Come on!" Junior yelled, dragging his father with him to the Chill Zone.
As Leonard and Tammy ran, they saw that, the other two teams were catching up. FAST.
- Team Confessional: LARPers -
Tammy: They were catching up so fast!
Leonard: We were left with no choice! To maintain our lead, we needed to use... magic!"
- End Confessional -
Tammy yelled, "Song of Slumber!" taking out her flute.
Leonard yelled, "CHAOS BARRIER!" taking out his staff.
But... nothing happened, note to all Live Action Role Players out there... sometimes its necessary to break the 4th freaking wall!
The two other teams passed by the LARPers. Who were confused. "Huh? There's something wrong with my stick... "
"Hurry!"
After the last bit of running, two teams made it...
"Congratulations Vegans! You're 22nd!" Said Don as the two hippies stepped on the carpet.
- Team Confessional: Vegans -
Laurie: We stuck to our principles, and we're still in the race. I guess nice guys finish ALMOST last!
- End Confessional -
"And here comes 23rd" Don declared as Father & Son entered the Chill Zone. The father looked confused as he kept running forward, muttering something about finding a tree.
Junior encouraged this, saying, "We're almost there, dad!"
Don just asked, "How long are you gonna let him run for?"
"I just needed a little break."
- Team Confessional: Father & Son -
Dwayne: (he still couldn't see and yet he could tell his son was right net to him) 23rd place!? We-We have GOT to do better pal... Hey, I know! We're gonna stay up ALL night and talk strategy! (Giving Junior two thumbs up)
Junior: (Sarcastically) Great...
- End Confessional -
Leonard and Tammy had finally arrived at the Chill Zone, but since they were in last place, Don just gave them the following lecture, "The Ridonculous Race is about Skill, it's about DETERMINATION. It's NOT about magic! You're done."
Tammy, well... "Time Reversal Spell!"
Don simply said "SECURITY!"
- Final Confessional: LARPers -
Tammy: I think we could've done better...
Leonard: I got to do a lot of things I never wanted to try, so that's something.
Tammy: Hey, I'm GLAD we did this together. We could share these memories, forever!
Leonard: I still don't get why we have to WALK home...
- Farewell to the LARPers -
