Episode #10 - Japan is like a Technology Paradise - Lori
"Previously on The Amazing Race…" Phil kicked things off. "…teams scattered around the streets of Tokyo!"
"Whoa, this is crazy!" Bloo said while scanning the crowded intersection.
"And the competition heats up when they performed the Roadblock!"
The screen showed the certain team members who took the Roadblock, eating the Wasabi Bomb.
"While performing the challenge, Alvin's stomach cannot take much spiciness on his system…"
They showed Alvin puked in the bucket and Simon's reaction to the predicament.
"You know that sound is not gonna be that good to hear…"
"…and Brittany reached her breaking point."
"…that's our friend and neighbor right there! OUR. FUCKING. FRIEND!"
"Meanwhile, Luke and Karl took the leg by storm!"
The montage of them helping the people at the Active Route Info task, Luke dominating the Roadblock challenge, and arriving at the Pit Stop was shown.
"…you are team number one!" Phil announced their placement.
"Oh, yeah!" They both hi-fived with each other.
"And in the end, The Chipmunks did not survive their downfall and has been eliminated."
"I'm sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race…"
They showed the eliminated team's embrace moment.
"Four teams remaining… who will be eliminated next?"
(The intro is on the first chapter)
Different shots were spotted. From the sunset to the light-bright streets were shown. Also, the destination that the teams went for was seen, until to the Pit Stop, where The Wrestlers was waiting for their go signal.
Luke & Karl – departed at 9:28pm
The race begins as Luke opened the clue.
"Teams will walk back to the busy streets of Shibuya and they must find Takamitsu Souvenir Shop to look for the lady that sells Dog Souvenirs and she will give the teams their next clue." The girl showed a statue to the camera.
"Okay… let's go." Luke said.
They ran off the Pit Stop and turned left to continue walking.
"There are several legs that we need to cross to, to keep us safe and to proceed us to the final three," Luke said in the confessional.
"If we can keep our communication's intact, then it's all good. We just got to keep ourselves under control." Karl added.
They managed to arrive at the intersection. But since it's night time, the volume of people walking around the streets was decreased. They crossed the line and proceeded to the other side.
"It's kinda awesome to walk at night here. It brings us back memories." Karl said.
"Yeah…" Luke agreed.
After a few minutes of hunting, they spotted a store that has a route marker on the door. They entered and saw that they were collections of everything Japanese on the side. While at the front, was a woman, waving happily. They bowed to the woman.
"Konbanwa. (Good evening.)" Both greeted in unison.
"Hello." The lady showed a statue to the boys.
"Ooh… a souvenir." Karl said.
"Uhhh… that's a clue, dude." Luke grabbed the key chain and observes the figure. "It's a dog."
"Teams will have to figure out that the dog from the keychain is referring to the statue of the late dog hero of the country, Hachiko. And teams will have to find its statue and its owner to get their next clue."
Luke & Karl – currently in 1st Place
"Alright, let's go," Karl said while leaving the shop. "Hachiko, here we come!"
Skipping through their walking pace, they managed to find the statue and the assumed owner with ease.
"Hello." Luke greeted the man with a scarf.
The man bowed to the team and showed the clue. Karl grabs it this time to open the content.
"Detour. Maiden or Messenger?"
"Teams will have to choose two methods that require to send a certain object into a certain address. Their choices – Maiden or Messenger?" Phil started narrating.
"Maiden - Teams will travel by taxi to Hamarikyu Gardens and use the traditional Japanese palanquin to transport a young Japanese woman 1/3 mile to a tea ceremony pavilion. If they are done, the lady will hand over their next clue." The lady shows the clue to the camera.
"Messenger - Teams will travel by foot 200 yards to a parking lot where they pick up a pair of foldable bicycles and messenger bags each containing a parcel. Then they will assemble first their bikes, ride them to the busy streets of Tokyo and deliver the package to Shinjuku Park Tower and Shinjuku Chuo Koen in Shinjuku district. When they are done delivering packages, they must return to the parking lot where they found the bikes and the bike guard will give them their next clue." The guard showed the clue to the camera.
"Maiden sounds fun," Luke recommended the former.
"I guess that's a yes…" Karl agreed. "Alright, let's find some taxi."
The Wrestlers started searching for a taxi. But since it's night time, the possibility of finding the vehicles are consistently low. But they tried and tried to look for the vacated taxi for minutes.
"We all just need a taxi…" Luke said. "...and that's one thing you really need!"
After a few seconds, they managed to found one and entered.
"Hamarikyu Gardens… can you go there?" Karl asked the driver, which nodded. "Let's go, dude! We're in a race!"
"Actually, I noticed that it's getting late and I don't know if this next stop is closed," Karl said in the confessional.
Skipping through the turning roads as they arrived at the gardens where they saw four palanquins and quickly picks one of them. Karl opens the cloth to see that there was a woman sitting there, waves to the camera.
"Hey, dude. She's here."
"I'm still wondering how long has she been waiting for us." Luke has other things to think. "Come on, let's lift our majesty."
Karl nodded as he grabbed the end part of the transportation, while Luke lifts the front part, leads their way and walk off.
"This feels… nice, isn't it?" Karl asked.
"Eh, if we just keep going, that would be nice," Luke answered while they are passing over a small bridge.
"Oh boy, I wasn't feeling good when we were like ten minutes," Luke said in the confessional.
Skipping through the parts where they stopped over and instantly saw them in the pavilion where they picked up the lady inside of the vehicle to the covered house as she gave the next clue to the boys.
"Thank you so much! (Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu!)" Luke bowed his head, followed by Karl.
Luke & Karl – currently in 1st Place
Luke rips off the clue to read. "Make your way to Capsule Land Hotel…"
"Teams will now make their way to Capsule Land Hotel where teams will stay there for the night. As they arrived there, teams will pick a time that they will check out the next day. The time of check out will be 15 minutes between another, except for the last team, who will check out… 30 minutes prior to the last team. And teams will spend the night sleeping on a pod, making them comfortable or not."
"Crap, dude! Now the others are racing with us." Karl said.
"That's fine. We still got the earliest one." Luke patted Karl's head. "Come on, let's go!"
They went off and found their taxi. Another team departed from the Pit Stop as the editing skipped through the Souvenir Shop until they made onto the Hachiko Statue.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 2nd Place
"Maiden or Messenger?" Lincoln reads the question. "Messenger?"
"Maiden sounds heavy to me." Lori somehow agreed.
"Alright, let's walk."
The Siblings already arrived at the bike post as they grabbed one bike each.
"Foldable bikes? Never I had heard or seen any of these until now." Lincoln said.
"Yeah, me too. Japan is like a technology paradise." Lori agreed while unfolding the pedals.
After a busy minute of stretching out their bikes, they hopped onto their manual transportation and pedaled off the parking lot.
While The Siblings are busy with their delivering task, The Wrestlers arrived at the hotel and asked the counter for their hotel garments.
"Oh boy, we're first!" Karl announced as they grabbed the items and went over to their room.
Luke & Karl – checked out at 9:00AM
When they entered the room they were surprised that their bed was bedless. It was capsule-shaped and narrow, where we saw the contents of the pods.
"I hope I'm not going to get sandwiched by this!" Karl wished.
"Well, I hope I can fit myself there." Luke has other wishes, which made Karl laughed.
"Don't worry, we'll get through that."
We saw both men entering their respective pods and lied on their backs.
While we see The Siblings biking their way to their first point and saw the route marker at its entrance.
"Shinjuku Park Tower…" Lori said.
"There's the counter over there!" Lincoln replied as they entered the building.
"Hey there, here's the delivery."
"Thank you." The counter said and signs the package.
"I think that's it! Next location is…" Lincoln reads their next location slowly. "Shinjuku Chu-ho Ko-en."
"Alright, time to go," Lori said as they exited the building and continued biking through the road.
"The pro of this Detour is to us to easily find people who can help us find the location…" Lori said in the confessional.
The Siblings were seen asking to a local as the latter gestured his right hand.
"Thanks!" Lincoln said as they carried off the road.
"…and the cons are that we're kind of stuck in traffic sometimes and there are too many stoplights."
The duo waited for the light to flashed into green. When they got the go signal from the stoplight, they pedaled on to their limit until they have arrived on the address that the package said as they entered the premise.
"I think it's over there!" Lincoln saw the counter and went towards to it.
"Go to the fourth floor." The counter told them.
"Alright, arigato!"
They entered the elevator while holding their bikes. When they landed on the fourth floor, they saw a woman standing on a room as they stormed over there.
"Here's your package!" Lori opened her parcel to show the package as the woman accepts it and signed the package.
"Thank you!" The woman bowed her head.
"Arigato!" Lincoln bows back and walked off to the elevator. "Okay, now back to the starting point!"
The screen skips their biking to the starting line of the Detour as they parked their bikes back on the parking lot. The Siblings received their clue and opened it.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 2nd Place
"Alright! We're going to rest… again!" Lincoln exclaimed as they started walking through the streets.
The Chipettes were seen doing the Maiden challenge as they picked up their palanquin and moved slowly. Jeanette leads the way.
"You know the rules, soldier?" Jeanette's voice somehow wasn't harsh at this time, but Brittany did not answer back. "Okay, I'll just try not to get around you…"
Brittany's reaction was only a blank face.
"Uhhh… I'm just wondering what could happen next?" Brittany said sarcastically and sighed.
Fast forward to the moment where they found the tea party ceremony as the girl gave the clue to Jeanette, who snatched it.
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in 3rd Place
"All right! It's now our time to get our first first!" Jeanette cried and swung her fist with excitement.
"I-I'm coming, madam!" Brittany commented.
"Very well, my lady assistant," Jeanette smirked and both of them walked off together.
Also, skipping through the finding tasks until to the Detour, The Imaginary Friends took the Maiden task, since it was really late. They went on to find the pavilion.
"Whew, it's kinda cold! I kinda forgot to wear my sweater." Bloo said while carrying.
"Yeah, it's not snowing but dang! The weather always changes a bit." Mac agreed.
After a few minutes, they found their destination as they detached the palanquin to reveal the lady inside of it as she gave the clue to them.
Bloo & Mac – currently in Last Place
"Nice, we just needed that. My shoulders are killing me inside!" Bloo stretches and spins his both shoulders.
"Alright, time to go." Mac agreed as they went out of the village.
Fast forward, we saw The Imaginary Friends arriving there and took out the garments.
Bloo & Mac – checked out at 10:00AM
"And… we got the worst time to check out." Mac said.
When they got into their room, they saw the remaining teams (sans Jeanette who was sleeping) playing and drinking, who just met them some hi-fives and hugs.
"Hey, guys! What's up?" Karl greeted the recently-arrived team.
"It's cool. My shoulder's really sore." Bloo rubs the painful part of his shoulder. "Yeah, it's that sore."
"We are waiting for you to come, so we could just sleep at the same time!" Lincoln said.
"Wow, that's great. But we need some shut-eye." Mac answered while Bloo nodded in agreement.
Then we saw the remaining contestants on their pods, trying to cover their sleeping faces. Lori closes the curtain, and the others remained the curtain to the top. It was the right time to put the show in a commercial break!
9:00AM
The Wrestlers took off to the counter and receives the clue from the counter.
Luke & Karl – currently in 1st Place
"Arigato!" Karl said as he opens the clue to read. "Make your way to Fujikyu Highlands and search for your next clue…"
"Teams will now drive themselves nearly 80 miles to Fujikyu Highlands to find their next clue. But first, they must get their cars at Sakamoto Parking Building."
"Okay, I think that's far, isn't it?" Luke replied.
"Yeah, I think it is. Come on, let's find the cars."
After that, they went off the hotel to search for the marked cars. Since it's a kilometer away, they found the building already and picked up their car.
"Whoa, baby…." Karl scans the vehicle because of its color. "It's nice."
They both entered the vehicle and talks about their next destination.
"I think I have heard Fuijikyu Highlands…" Karl said.
"Is it in a province or what?" Luke replied.
"Yeah, I think it is. We're going on the expressway."
"Oh, sure."
9:15AM
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 2nd Place
The Siblings are currently on their car and stopped by to ask for some directions. They met a driver in the truck.
"Excuse me, Fujikyu Highlands?" Lori asked the driver.
"Go to expressway." The driver answered in his local accent. "Take 4 and expressway."
"Thank you so much!" She continued driving.
The Wrestlers are now on the expressway as Karl reads the map that he was holding.
"Oh, what do you know? It is an amusement park!"
"Really? Well, that's good! We could be riding the rides, man!" Luke said while still focused on the road.
They stopped into a toll gate and Luke grabs the ticket and passes it over to Karl.
"Keep it, dude. Don't do something stupid."
9:30AM
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in 3rd Place
Their car got out of the garage as Brittany was asking for directions for their next point, as per Jeanette's order. Soon, the former went over to the car and entered.
"Enter 4 and expressway, that's it." She crossed her arms.
"Thank you, associate," Jeanette responded with a smirk and carried on to left the parking building. "You really are improving, huh?"
"Shut up…" Brittany muttered.
The Wrestlers soon later found out that they were kilometers away when they asked a driver on the road. While they digested the good news, they looked over to a mountain that is white-colored on the top.
"That's Mt. Fuji…" Luke announced.
"No shit, Sherlock," Karl replied sarcastically.
Luke frowned. "I really hate you for that."
"Sometimes, I wonder what could be the life if Karl's sarcastic attitude doesn't exist? Maybe, I could bury that personality soon…" Luke said in the confessional.
While for The Siblings, they learned that they were on the wrong way, according to a local that they have questioned earlier on.
"Alright, we've been on the road for a few minutes and we saw nothing but trees; no lead for the highlands…" Lori said to the camera as she U-turned and moved to the other side of the road.
"What a way to our destination…" Lincoln reacted sarcastically.
"Shush, Lincoln!" She hissed. "I'm concentrating right here!"
10:00AM
Bloo & Mac – currently in Last Place
Their car moved away from the parking as they discussed on their next destination.
"Fujikyu Highlands? That sounds far away from here…" Bloo predicted.
"We'll see if we ask somebody…" Mac responded as they stopped by a convenience store.
The Chipettes were still looking for the signs and they did not know that they entered the expressway.
"Where is that stupid sign?! Come on!" Jeanette yelled.
"Will you please stop complaining about everything?! It's so annoying!" Brittany complained in a mad tone.
"Oh, you're now talking back again? Well, eat my dust!"
"You're at it again! When will you stop being obnoxious?!"
"If you stop crying like a baby! That's when will I stop!"
We saw the first glimpse of the amusement park. The recreational venue was wide open, the rides were gigantic, especially the roller coasters. The Wrestlers parked their vehicle as they moved on to the clue box to grab one and open it to read.
Luke & Karl – currently in 1st Place
"Roadblock." Luke started. "Who loves to take twists and turns?"
"At this Roadblock, one team member will feel their adrenaline rushed on their veins as they will take on a ride! One team member must take a ride from 3 extreme rides – The Pizza, Dodonpa, and Fujiyama. While riding, they must look for a man holding a signage somewhere along these rides. If they have completed the rides, they must tell the message that they have gathered to the park manager. If they got it right, he will hand over their next clue. If they got the wrong answer, they will go back and ride the 3 joyrides once again."
"Obviously, I'll do it." Luke volunteered himself.
"Damn it! I would love to go, you know?" Karl disagrees.
"Too late. I just read the task. This should be easy since I'm a big guy!"
Luke soon entered The Pizza first, which is a frisbee ride. He sat down on one of the chairs and fastened his seatbelts and plugs in the bar to set things up.
"This is great!" He said to the camera. "I missed riding these things!"
Soon as he said that, the ride began to move sideways as Luke prepares for the surprise of the ride.
"Oh, here we go!"
The ride went higher and higher as Luke cried.
"This is insane! But I can't see any signboards here!"
The Frisbee rotated a full circle as the crowd continues to scream, even the big guy.
"HOLY SHIT!"
The ride went on for a few seconds until it swung slowly until it stopped as Luke got off the ride and did not find any lead.
As per Karl, he was watching the roller coaster moved at a fast pace.
"I cannot believe that this is a Roadblock!" He said to the camera.
Luke, on the other hand, hopped over the next ride – Dodonpa! He buckled up and closed the bar over him.
"Keep your eyes and your ass at all times, 'cause you will never know what will happen next."
The ride launched up high at a slower pace. When they got on the launch pad, the sound from the megaphone was counting down to 1. When the aforementioned number hit, they were caught off-guard when the ride launched down as they were crying.
"Oh, my God! This is crazy!"
"Okay, I did not expect that the ride is that damn fast! I almost lost it." Luke said in the confessional.
"Whoa, that one' fast!" Karl noticed one of the roller coaster's speed and did not notice his partner was on that ride.
The ride was short-lived as Luke stood up from the chair and rubs his head.
"God! That one was a bad ride." Luke said. "Let's end this instantly!"
Luke went off and needs to do the final ride. While another team arrived at the amusement park as they parked their vehicle and made their way to the clue box.
"Whoa! Are we doing—"
Lincoln got interrupted by Lori. "I'm pretty sure is." She grabbed a clue from the box and rips it.
"Who loves to take twists and turns?"
"I'll take this one!" Lincoln instantly accepts the challenge and reads the task. "Oh, yeah! This is what I'm talking about!"
"Focus, Lincoln! We need to get out of here quickly!" Lori told him.
"Alright…"
Lincoln soon entered the park and started searching for the first ride. Lori went over to Karl who was waiting for his partner.
"Hey there, big sister!" Luke called.
"Don't call me that!" Lori answered while she crossed her arms shyly and turned to the other side.
Speaking of partner, Karl's partner prepares for the big one, also known as Fujiyama.
"I think this is where we should find that one. This one's a big roller coaster!" Luke said.
Once he utters the word, the ride started off slowly, as usual. When they got on the launch pad, Luke noticed something on his right.
"Hey, look! A signboard… Lake Yamanaka!" Luke declared.
The screen showed a man in an engineer attire, holding a signage. The caption was "Lake Yamanaka". Those were the words that were left when the ride dropped down at a faster pace, the drop was long and their bodies became flat.
"Holy crap! This is nuts!"
While back to the other rides, Lincoln was enjoying his time on The Pizza where it was now rotating in a full circle.
"YES! OH MY GOD!"
Soon, the ride at the roller coaster was finished when the safety crew assists the passengers. Luke got up instantly and saw the park manager.
"Uhh, Lake Yamanaka!"
The manager nodded and showed the clue to the big man as he picks it up.
Luke & Karl – currently in 1st Place
"Arigato!" He bowed and exited the ride.
"My god, what a ride!" Luke quipped in the confessional.
Outside of the amusement park, both Lori and Karl were talking about stuff and continued.
"Oh, wow. So you're jealous of Lincoln because he got the Roadblock?" Karl asked Lori.
"Well, definitely. It's literally amiss when I didn't react too quickly." Lori answered.
"KARL!"
Both of them looked back at the source of the call, it was Luke who finished the challenge.
Karl claps and praises his partner. "Way to go, dude!"
"The rides were absolutely bonkers! I cannot believe I just did that!" Luke shared his story and opens the clue to read. "Make your way to the next Pit Stop…"
"Teams will now drive themselves 8 miles to Lake Yamanaka where they will have to choose one of the swan boats at the dock and paddle out through the Swan Ship, the pit stop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in here may be eliminated."
"Alright! Let's go!" Luke said as they went off
"Hey, see you there!" Karl waved Lori from a distance, who waves back in receipt.
The Wrestlers entered their vehicle and soon left off the parking lot.
At the second ride, Lincoln was at the launch pad and when the ride suddenly dropped at a crazy speed. The passengers went ballistic at the equation, but for Lincoln, it was his excitement that shows at his face.
"YA-HOOOO!" He cried.
"I. Cannot. Believe it! That was one of the craziest roller coaster rides that I ever experienced! It's so ridiculously fast. Oh my God!" He admitted in his confessional.
The ride ended as Lincoln jumped off his seat and his mission to find the message is still in play.
"Gotta get that message before Lori's going to turn me into a human pretzel! Even though, I would still love to ride those again!"
While another team was shown in their car, getting their way inside of the amusement park.
"Amusement park, huh?" Jeanette said. "Well, I know what will happen next." She smirked evilly and looked back to see Brittany, frowning.
"What?"
They soon arrived and parked their car at one of the unoccupied slots. They made their way on the box as Jeanette reads the clue.
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in 3rd Place
"Who loves to take twists and turns?"
Jeanette shoves the clue to her sister, sighing at the process and move on to the entrance.
While at the final ride, Lincoln hopped on to the front seat and prepares himself.
"This is gonna be good! Also, focus, Lincoln!"
The ride went off the air and stopped at the launch pad. After a few seconds, the ride dropped down at a great height. Lincoln cried happily as he was still enjoying the ride.
"AHHHHH! Oh my God!"
When he opened his eyes, he saw something that gained his interest. He saw a man holding a flyer.
"Lake… Ya-ma-na-ka…" Lincoln then shrugged. "Got it! Let's go!"
The ride continued for a few seconds until it stopped. The safety crew assisted the passengers and Lincoln, where he made his way to the park manager to send the message.
"Lake Ya-ma-naka?"
The park manager nodded and showed the clue to the white-haired boy, who was jumping in celebration.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 2nd Place
"Heck yeah! Time to go! I will miss you!" He sent a flying kiss to the ride as he left.
The first glance of the Pit Stop was shown. Mt. Fuji was still in sight and the lake was calm. And they were swan boats in the dock. The Wrestlers showed up as they picked one of the boats and began paddling.
"Whoa! Hold your speed, dude! We're about to get drown!" Karl said.
"We could keep it slowly since they are still on the Roadblock," Luke responded.
After settling their score to themselves and to the lake, they managed to land on the big swan boat as they climbed upstairs to meet with Phil and the local greeter.
"Yamanakako e yōkoso, welcome to Lake Yamanaka, Japan!" The local greeted the boys.
"Luke and Karl… you are team number one… again!" Phil announced their placement.
"Yes!" Karl hi-fives Luke.
"Alright!" Luke hi-fives Karl.
"As the winners of this leg of the race, you won each gift certificates worth $2,500, courtesy of Subway! You can order any food from their menu, but it will depend on the availability of the foods at your stores. You can use the certificates once, so spend it wisely!"
"Wow! Way to go off a diet!" Karl chuckled.
"So you're now leading the pack with 3-straight leg victories. How does that affect to your confidence at the upcoming leg?"
"I think that's a great sign for a position at the finals. Keeping ourselves focusing on the race is all we need." Luke answered while Karl nods in agreement.
"Well again, congratulations. I'll see you on the next leg."
"Thanks, Phil!" Karl received the greeting as they executed their signature taunt.
While at the amusement park, The Imaginary Friends landed on the venue as Mac opens the clue.
Bloo & Mac – currently in Last Place
"I'll do it!" Bloo responded quickly.
"Then you're on." Mac approved the petition as Bloo made his way inside.
While still at the inside of the park, we saw Brittany and the Fujiyama moved in a swift.
"Oh my God! This is so much extreme! AHHHH!"
When she opened her eyes, she saw something at the bottom.
"Lake Yamanaka? I think that's it!"
The ride slows down as it made its way to the final destination. Brittany stood up by herself and told the park manager the answer. When she gave it away, the park manager quickly showed the clue to the blonde chipette.
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in 3rd Place
"Thank you so much!" She bowed her head and left the ride.
While Bloo was started to take the ride. As soon as the ride moved sideways, he didn't flinch nor horrified, his face was nonchalant.
"Find that message! Find that message!" He chanted.
While at the Pit Stop, The Siblings arrived at the big swan boat and checked in.
"Lincoln and Lori… you are team number two." Phil declared.
"Yes!" Both of them reacted together and hi-fived with each other.
"How's the leg for you both?"
"Mine's kind of bad, literally," Lori answered first.
"It was fantastic!" Lincoln swayed his fist ecstatically. "I never thought I could ride a large roller coaster in my whole life!"
While The Chipettes are on their vehicle and Jeanette was asking to Brittany something.
"Do you know where we turned first when we got here?"
"No! Why would I? I'm not from here!" Brittany answered with anger on her tone.
"Oh, so, I guess I can drive wherever I want so we could be eliminated, huh?"
"Okay, fine. Whatever." Brittany simply answered as she crossed her arms.
Jeanette was genuinely surprised at the remark of her sister, but quickly changed her reaction into a frown.
"Alright, let's get lost!"
They drove off the parking lot and left the premises.
While Bloo did not find any lead at the first ride, he went over to the Dodonpa. The ride began as he tries to focus on the challenge.
"You know like most people out here…" Bloo started his confession and added. "…I don't care about the rides. It's just it is boring."
"Because you're not a human, like us?" Mac responded.
"What? No! What the heck is your problem, Mac?"
We now saw the ride dropped down at a crazy speed. Except from Bloo, the passengers were screaming in joy or horror.
Bloo yawned in response. "Nothing here… wait…" He squinted his eyes to see a certain man holding a flyer. "Lake… I don't know! I can't see the next one! Stupid height of mine!"
"That's one big roller coaster right there! I wish I could ride there once." Mac hoped to the gods.
The ride ended quickly and also Bloo as he is trying to decipher the message.
"I hope I can read the next word when I get to that large roller coaster."
Then enters the ride with ease and sat down to wait for the signal.
The Chipettes are currently silent at their car. From this point, they saw a waterway with boats parked in a dock.
"Ooh, lucky. We didn't get lost!" Jeanette broke the silence.
Brittany did not respond to the statement, making Jeanette groaned. They left their car and made their way to a boat. Brittany knew what role she was in right now, so she was in charge of steering. They started paddling.
At the ride, we saw Bloo exit the ride and went over to the park manager to reveal his answer.
"Lake Yamanaka!"
Bloo & Mac – currently in Last Place
The park manager nodded with a clue on his hands, Bloo picks it up as he thanked the manager and left the ride.
Unfortunately for the last team, The Chipettes arrived there with different moods on their faces and faced Phil.
"Brittany and Jeanette… you are team number three." Phil announced their placement. "You're still on the race."
Same time as the last two legs, they aren't satisfied with their placement. And this time, Phil did not add any questions and suddenly Jeanette growled.
"Hey, listen here, you deaf blonde! What's with you with the cheap answers earlier?! Answer me this instant!"
"Because…" Brittany answered softly. "…you're so FUCKING annoying and you're so rude that I cannot take it anymore! You know what I said about earlier when we left at the amusement park? I mean it! But you did not listen to me! I thought you'll follow it! And look where you took us!"
"Wha?!" Jeanette reacted in disbelief. "We did just save a spot for the final three! What are you talking about?! Are you joking with me right now?!"
"I am not! You should have abandoned us in the first place! What the FUCK is wrong with you?!"
"NO! What is wrong with you!"
"That's it! I have enough with you!" Brittany suddenly cried and viciously attacked Jeanette with a vicious head-butt, making the poor victim collapsed.
Both Phil and the local saw the whole ordeal as they were shocked at the predicament. Brittany looked down to see Jeanette that she was unconscious, her mood changed from anger to horrified as she knelt down to consult.
"Jeanette! Jeanette!" Her voice was added with worrying huffs. "Oh no, we are so screwed!"
From this moment, the screen became slow-mo as it was the time to take a break!
Back to the show where the first aid respondents came over to the boat to check on the fallen chipette. While Brittany was still in a state of shock after the incident, Phil tries to cover her emotions as he asked the worrying chipette.
"Brittany… since you just attacked your partner physically—"
"No! I didn't even mean to do that! I just lost it! It was unintentional!"
"I was gonna say about that but since there's no violation for attacking someone physically and you did it unintentionally, as I see your face… you don't get a penalty. So you're still on the race, if… Jeanette's possible injury could pull you off the race."
Brittany's reaction was in shock. "What? What if I actually injured her for real?!"
"Only time will tell…"
While The Imaginary Friends arrived at the dock and quickly chose their boat and started paddling.
"Let's get this over with, Bloo! We're basically last!" Mac said.
"Yeah, what a great time that we had here. It was majestic and blooming!" Bloo agreed.
"Well, it was our time to go and oh boy, what an adventure that we had!" Mac said in the confessional.
"Yeah, after all, it was a great experience to learn new things or everything!" Bloo added.
"Give it all, Bloo!" Mac paddled to the limit.
"I'm not giving up! Ahh!" Bloo cried and paddled quickly.
After a few minutes, they arrived at the big swan. When they got there, they saw the respondents checking out Jeanette, who was luckily responsive. As soon as they got on the mat, they saw Brittany stared to the ground in a blank state. They were curious at what's happening to the team of Chipettes.
"Yamanakako e yōkoso, welcome to Lake Yamanaka, Japan!" The local greeted the last team.
"Thank you!" Mac bowed.
"Bloo and Mac… you are the last team to arrive." Phil announced.
"We know…" Mac somehow smiled and embraced Bloo, who embraced back.
"Wow, this is just unbelievable," Bloo said.
While Brittany heard the announcement, she went on to the last team and hugged them both.
"I'm sorry, guys…" She muttered while she started to cry.
Mac responds. "Nah, you don't have to be sorry. We did help you carried your sister and—"
He got interrupted by the sharp weeping of the blonde.
"No! I'm so sorry! I'm so screwed up!"
The embrace broke when Bloo asked. "Huh? What do you mean? And what happened to your sister?"
"I… attacked her…"
Both boys gasped in reaction.
"What?"
Same response for The Imaginary Friends, but however they didn't saw Brittany talked. Even Brittany was now surprised to see that Jeanette was back alive. Brittany suddenly ran and hugs Jeanette tightly, begins to cry again.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" She kept apologizing.
"Uh, what just happened?" Jeanette asked in a muddling tone.
"Huh?" Brittany broke the embrace and was dumbfounded. "You mean, you didn't know what happened this time?"
"What really happened?" Bloo asked.
"Why are you crying, Brit?"
"Huh?!" Brittany noticed that her attitude became normal again and wipes off the excess tears on her tears. "Nothing! Nothing! These guys are last!" She started to chuckle and suddenly changed the topic.
"What?" Jeanette looked over to the other team who were still confused at the moment and suddenly went over them to give a hug. "Wow, guys. I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"That's okay…" Mac responded and somehow whispers to Bloo. "…she's not evil anymore."
"Yeah…" Bloo nodded.
Jeanette snapped the hug fest when she heard something. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Meanwhile, Phil was watching the whole situation the whole time as he coughed hardly to gain the attention of the four individuals.
"Bloo and Mac… you are the last team to arrive." Phil said it again, but soon opens his mouth to reveal their fate at the race.

"…I'm pleased to tell you that this is the final pre-determined, non-elimination leg. So your opportunity at the million dollars is still up."
All of the contestants opened their mouths as they received the news, but they chuckled and embraced once again.
"What the heck just happened? First, we saw drama. And the next, suspense." Bloo commented.
"And now, it's a happy ending," Mac added.
"Wow, you guys. You're still up!" Jeanette congratulated them.
"Yeah, we did not expect the news," Bloo replied.
"This leg has the happy ending. But for Bloo and Mac, they had a bad start at the next leg. And this news will expect to come, so somewhere at the next leg, you'll encounter a speed bump. You must finish it first before continuing racing."
"Noted." Mac nodded.
"So, let's spill the pill. What just happened here earlier?" Bloo was still curious.
"Maybe you can answer it, Brittany, if you do rest well first; especially for you, Jeanette. But however, I'll check you out if you can still continue racing."
"We'll do. The respondents said that the findings will be shown to us tomorrow." Jeanette commented.
"Okay, and good luck to the next leg. Get ready for an intense battle to get a spot for the final three at the final leg."
"Okay!" The quartet nodded in unison.
"I'll see you at the next leg and get some rest."
Once again, they nodded together as both teams left the swan boat and got their boats parked aside.
"Wow, still cannot believe that we're still here!" Bloo said in the confessional.
"Yeah, we are just keeping it straight - we will paved our way to our victory and the million dollars!" Mac added.
"Yeah!"
They soon paddled their way back to end the show.
SHORT END CREDITS
"Stay tuned for more scenes on the next episode!" Phil said in a voiceover as the screen fades to black.
"Next time on The Amazing Race…" Phil paused. "Teams will battle it out next leg…"
"Ah! This is grueling!" Bloo said while holding something as he stepped down.
"…as teams dived in…"
We saw Brittany diving with the fishes.
"…and plunged out to the ground!"
Lori was also holding something and descends a step.
"This is so frustrating! Ugh!"
"To get a spot at the finals!"
"Come on, dude! This is for our dream!" Lincoln exclaimed while running.
"This is it! I hope we're good." Karl huffed while running.
"And the double U-turn returns to haunt the teams!"
"Should we use it?" Brittany asked Jeanette.
"I don't know!" Jeanette answered.
We saw the box opened by an anonymous person and rummages through the pictures of every team.

A/N: Did you noticed that this leg/chapter is short-length? If yes, because there was nothing interesting happened in the first part of the leg. So I just skipped until they checked out of the hotel. So bear with me, with this one!
And holy crap, two legs remaining! I'm actually excited to make the next and the final leg. This will become tougher to write on. So I'm kinda expecting it to finish it, somewhere at first or second week of February. Or… could be earlier as possible!
So stay tuned!
Also, just a heads up. For those who are reading this from the start. I have some questions for you to answer:
First, who will be the three teams that will race for the million dollars?
Next, who will be the winners of the season? Why?
Lastly, if possible, since the second season will be in the making soon… who do you want to be in the race (any fandoms)? Why do you chose him/her? And tell me his/her likes, dislikes, nitpicks, hobbies, personality, etc.
If you can answer it, just drop it on the reviews or sent me a message here at FFN! Maybe I needed the survey just to keep things in tight.
Anyways, that's it for now! See you around!
