Team Amazon were staying in economy class along with Team Victory.
Heather still had some negative points with Courtney and Gwen for her idea of using a whip to make Cody go faster.
"first chance we get I'll totally help you vote her off." Gwen said to the C. I. T.
"Gladly. Can we whip her off." Courtney said glaring at Heather.
…..
Rem and Cody were sitting opposite of them both of them had cards in their hand.
"Do you have any fives?" Rem asked looking at the teenage boy. Cody glanced at her, then at his card. With a sigh he laid them down while muttering.
"Go fish."
"Hey guys have I ever said how much I value your friendship." Heather said in a friendly tone.
"Nobody's falling for that." Rem said looking at the queen bee with a deadpan expression.
On the other side of the room, Team Victory looked like they were losing optimism fast. That was until Lindsay cheered them up with her small speech.
"Enough down talk you guys, we`re not quitters, we`re fighters and we`re winners." The blonde bombshell yelled out. Her speech was loud enough to reach Cody who had a neutral expression on his lips except for a small tilt of his lips, indicating a smirk.
Confession Cam.
Cody- Lindsay may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but she is cheerful. And it's hard to resist being cheerful when she is.
The atmosphere changed quickly when the dashing Spaniard entered the economy section.
"Ladies I took the liberty of smuggling a few things out of first class." He said showing them a few junk food treats.
The blonde bombshell tried to deny.
"I better not, I might break out…is that a snuffers bar?" key word being tried because as soon as she saw the candy her protests stopped and she grabbed the offered chocolate.
Cody and Rem stared as well since they had lost attention to the card game. Looking over at Rem. Cody motioned his hand.
"Ladies first." He simply said. The light blue haired girl chose one of the treats while saying thanks with a small smile. Cody chose a bag of chips.
"Thank you Alejandro." He said giving one of his well-known gap tooth smiles.
"And you senjorita?" The Spaniard said turning to the Asian beauty.
"I don`t want it. I never trust the enemy. Especially the excessively disgustingly flirty ones." She said crossing her arms over her chest and looking away, ultimately missing the miniscule narrowing of said Spanish boys' eyes. But Cody did.
Confession Cam.
Cody- If he really had been there for friendship only, he wouldn't have narrowed his eyes like that, and he would have shown hurt instead. So only other solution was that he was trying to get on their good side. But for what?
….
Soon all the contestants found themselves in a huge speed boat
"Take a seat, grab a handle and I`ll tell you where we`re going." The host said wearing a jacket.
"Sweet boat dude. Right Lindsay?" the jock in red asked the blonde bombshell.
"Um, sure, Dave is it?" Lindsay said showing she still didn't remember her boyfriend's name.
"Why are you wearing a life jacket?" Noah asked.
"Cause there`s thirteen of you, but only one valuable me. Hit it Chief!" The host yelled out. The cargo floor door soon fell off causing the boat to plummet in the water.
"Welcome to New York City!" the host announced as they sailed by the statue of liberty.
Once they were on land Chris explained the challenge.
"Your first challenge is a carrige race through Central Park which I like to call Liberty or Death!"
"Oh I always dreamed of riding a horse drawn carriage." The gullible Owen said clapping his hands like a small child.
"Slow down conclusion jumpers. It's a baby carriage race." The host said.
Looking around Leshawna spoke.
"So where are the carriages?"
"Yeah, hope you brought your climbing gloves." The host motioned to the Lady Liberty statue where the carriages seemed to balance on the tip of her crown."
"Once you reach Lady Liberties` Crown pull up your rope to bring your team up faster. Once the whole team is up, your team grabs the correct carriage of the spike and go down to your boat and follows the buoys to the next exciting destination, Central Park!" Chris finished
"So, um when do we go shopping?" Lindsay asked.
"You don't." the host said with a smile
"NOOOOO!" the Bomb shell fell on her knees with an anguished cry.
…
After they got to the climbing ropes and after Lindsay was calmed down, Chris blew the whistle for starting.
The first one to start climbing was Alejandro, the Izzy who was pretending to be a 'rabid monkey' as she said.
DJ tried to grab his rope only to drawback holding his hand.
"Ow! What are these ropes made of?" He asked
"Steel wool."Chris said approaching Team Victory.
"Strong and rough just like the Big Apple."
The gentle giant started climbing the rope ouching every time his hands grabbed the rope.
Overhearing what the host said Cody reached into one of his pants pocket, pulling out fingerless gloves. Turning to the girls, who were shocked and confused over why he had those gloves in the first place, he spoke.
"I`ll go first and smoothen up the rope." And with that he started climbing, twisting his hands around the rope making it more bearable than before.
Rem shrugged as she made her way after the boy teen. "Accidentally" she looked up to see Cody with his butt clearly visible as he was climbing the rope.
"Best view in New York City." She muttered low enough for no one else to hear.
Confession Cam.
Rem- My ma—Cody really is wonderful isn't he…. I MEAN He is a nice guy for helping us with the rope.
…
Most of the teams were up. Cody was pulling up Gwen as Heather, Rem and Courtney stood aside. Chris was complaining.
"I'll get the carriage." The queen bee said balancing herself carefully. In just a few minutes she was pushing the carriage down.
"Tada!" She exclaimed.
"Team Amazon takes the lead!" The host finished.
"How do we get back down?" The C.I.T. asked.
"Fireman's` poll anyone? It's only a thirty story drop." the host motioned towards.
"I`ll take the carriage down." Cody volunteered.
"But someone should go first. Here goes." Gwen said looking at the others, then flying down the rope. After a lot of shouting, they heard a crash and then her exclaim that she`s okay. The next to follow was Courtney, Heather and Rem with Cody holding the carriage in one hand and going down the poll.
While they ran towards the boat a bell was played.
"YOU KNOW THE DRILL" Chris said which caused the other contestants to groan.
Courtney: What's not to love about New York City?
The taxis honk out a New York ditty!
The crime is high!
The pigeons fly!
What's not to love about New York?!
Owen: The lights are brighter!
The fun is funner!
The bagels are bagel-er,
And the bums are bummer!
The dirt and grime make every alley shine!
What's not to love about New York?! Oops!
Lindsay: The stores, and the fashion!
Big shows where stars cash in!
It's crazy, 'cause the city never sleeps!
DJ: Dance break!
Lindsay: For the love of dance, stop!
Courtney, Gwen, Heather and Rem: Subway trains and the hustle-bustle!
Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Leshawna, Lindsay and Rem: Cappuccinos while the mobsters tussle!
Owen: And pretzel stands for all us pretzel fans!
Noah: Whoa, hot, hot, hot!
Owen: What's not to love...
Lindsay and Owen: What's not to love...
Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Lindsay, Noah, Owen and Rem: What's not to love... about New York?!
As soon as they reached the boat Courtney was the first one to head towards the steering wheel. She was however stopped by Cody.
"Do you know how to drive?" he asked receiving a shake of the head.
"Scoot over and grab on to something." He said grabbing the wheel. After checking everyone was in and secure he shifted it into high drive.
"How do you know to drive these?" Courtney yelled as the air rushed through them.
"I have one just like this one at home and was trained by …. Actually I forgot but all I remember was that the trainer knew what they were doing." He asked without turning to look at her or looking at a certain maid who was sweating bullets.
It was a nice ride until they found out they had to sail through the sewers.
"The sewers?! Ugh, sometimes I hate Chris. Okay, all the time!" Heather said.
"Amen to that." Cody said as other others, even Rem nodded.
After some time, they proved to have even bigger problems when a gigantic alligator emerged from the sewage.
"Watch out guys" Cody warned as he was still controlling the ship.
"I got this" Said Rem she took out a certain spike objected and threw it at the gator causing the creature to scream and retreat with a big gash in his head.
The only thing the amazon's heard after Rem's attack was the sound of the sewer as, besides Rem herself, everyone was shocked on what Rem just did.
After they finished getting over what happened and not wanting to talk about it, Cody went back to the steering wheel and hit it full power. In a matter of seconds they were out of the sewers.
…..
Alright focus people, welcome to the second half of the challenge. Bobbing for big apples NYC style. Here`s how its going to go down. Teams must push their carriages along one of the three paths to Central Parks` fabled turtle pond. There one member of each team will bob for some very special apples using only their mouths, no hands. Once they get it to shore the rest of their team must load them into their carriages and race to the finish line in the heart of Central Park. And whets a baby carriage without a baby?" the host finished with a rhetorical question.
"Oh oh! A shopping cart." Owen said thinking it was a riddle.
"It was a rhetorical question." The host deadpanned.
"One member of each team must ride in the carriage and stay there all the ways to the finish line."
Lindsay volunteered for Team Victory, Noah for TCRRRRH, and Rem raised her hand for the Amazons.
"Victory got here first. So they get the shortest path to the pond. Team CRRRRH gets the longest path on the left and Team Amazon gets the longest path on the right. Now go!" The host shouted as the teens started running through their designated paths.
They finally got to the pond at the same time.
"The other teams are here too? I thought we got the shortest path?" Leshawna complained.
"Remember, no hands." The host reminded them.
"I Goth this guys." Tyler said jumping in and planking in the water.
DJ looked at hi team.
"Uh uh. My hair" Leshawna said pointing at her pony tail.
"My lip gloss." The bombshell said pointing at her lips.
"Allright, but if we lose it's not my fault." He said pulling on a string on his waist making a flotation devise in the shape of a yellow ducky with blue spots.
The girls were starting to argue so without further ado Cody jumped in the water. As he was swimming to the apple he saw Hardhat switch TCRRRRH carriage with a real baby one. He couldn't help but feel a little bit of shadenfreude when that happened.
He reached his apple and started pushing it with his head as he swam. As he pushed it to shore Courtney with the help of Heather and placed it in the carriage. He shot an apologetic glance to Rem, a one she returned with a confident 'it's all right' one.
They reached the fountain with Victory after them and TCRRRRH last
A "And the winner of the New York challenge are Team Amazon. Team Victory congrats on not coming in last, and TCRRRRH you`re facing elimination for the first time. But you won't have to go through with it cause this is really a rewards challenge. Skye." The host said crossing his arms
"Now if you haven't noticed this challenge we haven't had our song so Chief and I decided to give you something special. You get to perform on Broadway stage a single musical of you chaise, but everyone of your team must participate. You have an hour after we get to the theater to think of you act costumes and practice your lyrics. Now let's go!" the host said.
