Episode 15- Maori or Less
Don: Last time on the Ridoculous Race.
Don: Our numerous bunny hunters watched the Ice Dancers catch, scare and brag their way to first place. Which ended up being a third due to the obvious love synergy between the masked mens and the positivists.
Don: The rejected Devin took a trip to denialville. Until Carrie put him in phase 2, of the 7 stages of a broken heart, Blinding rage.
Don: But the worst hits and failures belong to the stepbrothers and rockers. Both teams lost in our nasty. And by nasty I mean fascinating double elimination. With only 13 teams remaining, things are heating up. Who's about to get burned? Time to find out. This is. The Ridonculous Race.
-INTRO-
Don: Welcome back to beautiful New Zealand. Where yesterday's winners, the Positivists, are ready to take the first travel clue.
Sammy pressed the button and took the clue.
Sammy: You and you to the choo-choo?
Don: Teams must take a dangerously steep road to the train station, then take a journey through the lush mountains of New Zealand. All the way to the crossroads, where their next clue is waiting.
-confessional-
Jacques: Inventing an albino rabbit may be a little anti-sporting, but...
Josee: Anyway, after several horrible finals, we still haven't reached the gold. Today we have to win, we have to come first, it doesn't matter if we have to get the masked and the positivists out of the way with drastic methods.
Josee started to laugh, while Jacques looked at her worried. The black-haired girl realized that her partner was not comfortable.
Josee: Take them out of the competition obviously.
The blond sighed in relief.
-end of the confessional-
The goths and Bff's ran down the mountain, until they were passed by the haters.
Stephanie: Faster Ryan, we have to pass them.
Ryan: Tell them (signal to the Ice Dancers).
Stephanie: Move it ice geeks, your ice cream butts are in the way.
Josee: or what are you going to do? Yell some more? Go ahead, give your best scream, I can put the other cheek (points to her butt).
Stephanie grunted, while Ryan couldn't help but laugh.
Ryan: in your face.
-confessional-
Stephanie: That's not how you give support to your partner.
Ryan: Oh come on. You can't deny that she nailed it.
-end of confessional-
Junior: Come on dad, we have to get to the train.
Dwyane: Easy champ check the schedule and...
The sound of the train made his eyes widen like saucers.
Dwayne: OH COME ON.
Father and son made it all the way to the station, but the train was already moving forward.
Don: Train number one departed with the masked mens, positivists, opposites, haters, goths, bffs and Ice dancers.
The ice dancers waved mockingly at father and son, and didn't realize there was a pole on the platform, which hit her in the face. Much to Stephanie's delight she laughed.
Junior: Oh, that sucks.
Dwayne: hey hey hey, that language. We'll take the next train, let's play something while we're at it. I deal.
Junior: ah, thanks dad, but I price listening to music.
The boy walked away with his headphones, leaving Dwayne alone with his cards.
-confessional-
Junior was at a newsstand in the back.
Dwayne: Oh sure a million dollars would come in handy, but I came here for some quality time with Junior. The kid will be out of high school soon, and will have driving lessons, dating, graduation and college. Oh, my little birdie will be leaving the nest.
-end of confessional-
Junior: I'll take this Maori tattoo magazine and... do you have anything on how to control an embarrassing parent?
The stall owner handed him another magazine.
Junior: oh, great. New Zealander Fathers make your little louse do whatever you want?
Dwayne tried a trick with the cards, but the wind blew them away. And when he tried to grab it, it ran straight into a pole.
Meanwhile, Emma and Noah were running up the hill.
Noah: I told the producers, making Owen eat all that butter will make him explode, I guess puking on the other contestants is okay. But puking on the host? Not so much.
Emma: I can't believe they got kicked off just for that. It's unfair.
-confessional-
Kitty: I'm so glad Emma's giving love another chance.
Emma: And that doesn't worry you?
Kitty: No, I know how important winning is to you. And you've learned from your mistakes, this time you'll take it easy.
Emma: Right, my love life won't become my priority, even if Noah is very funny and does that adorable look with his eyebrows, and has the butt of a Roman god. Please, when will I get my first kiss? It's just... sorry.
-end of confessional-
Noah: Have you seen that new show, Alligator bite? We had thought about auditioning, maybe you girls should do the same...
Emma grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks. The two stood there looking at each other and slowly moving closer, while Owen ate popcorn.
Owen: I love happy endings.
Kitty: Why did we sto-? Awwww.
But the moment was broken when the Surfers passed between the two of them, inadvertently knocking Noah down.
Geoff: Excuse me dude, we have a train to catch.
Emma: Not so fast you crazy kids. Geoff: Come on, come on, come on.
-confessional-
Brody: We had to get to the station as fast as possible, but I feel bad for Emma and Noah, they were almost in kissing town.
Geoff: Man, if that happened to me, my girl Brid would send me to the doghouse for weeks.
Brody: oh man, I wouldn't put you in the dog house, I'd put you in the dog house, of the dog.
The Surfers laughed.
Geoff: Right.
Both: Boom.
Noah: Ugh, if I ever see the Surfers trying to give a kiss, I'm going to interrupt them.
Owen laughed
-end of confessional-
Don: Train number two, left the station only with father and son, and the Surfers.
On the train, Junior was reading the parent magazine, until he noticed his dad approaching and quickly changed it.
Dwyane: What are you reading son?
Junior: oh, uh, a magazine about local tattoos.
Dwayne: That's my son, soaking up the culture. No tattoos.
Geoff: Hey, if it isn't the father and son, all inside the same wave.
Surfers: choo-choo.
Don: At the crossroads, the first 7 teams are already arriving.
The train stopped and everyone got out to get the box.
Stephanie: let's go.
Josee was the first to take the track.
Josee: it's a "Either or".
Lucas: Jump here or Haka here?
The camera panned to a bridge over a river, where Don was standing next to a test dummy that was tied with a rope at his feet.
Don: In today's "Either or", teams must choose between bungee jumping off the kawaroo bridge and catching a local catfish with just their hands.
The dummy camera showed her impact in the water, and then showed how one of those fish was going to bite her, losing the transmission.
Don: or, the teams can "Haka here" i.e. perform the traditional Maori Haka.
The camera pans to a small stage where two rugby players were performing said ritual.
Don: A warrior ritual designed to scare off the enemy. Its very effective. Once teams complete one of these two tasks, they must run with their catfish or one of these rugby helmets.
The camera pans to an open field where the carpet was.
Don: To the rest area. Last team to arrive. Say it with me, you could be eliminated from the competition… why no one said it with me.
Stephanie: Jump here. Let's go.
Sammy: I've always wanted to try bungee jumping.
Lucas: I like a challenge, let's catch some fishes.
Those 3 teams, the bff's and the goths went to the bridge, while the last two went to the other location.
-confessional-
Josee: They all preferred to jump to a possible death than to face us.
Jacques: Maybe they're not that dumb.
Josee: I can't say the same for the opposites.
-End of confessional-
Geoff: So he stuck it in the lining of the board, while he was sleeping.
Brody: and put me on that airplane luggage belt.
The Surfers and Junior laughed, While Dwayne watched from another seat, isolated from the conversation.
Dwayne: Yeah. It's official, he'd rather be with those cool kids, than his uncool dad.
Brody stood up, and Dwayne decided to take advantage.
Dwayne: Hey Brody would you have a second?
Brody: Sure man, what do you need?
Dwayne: Well, Junior really looks up to you guys, and I wanted to know... How can I do to be more like, well, you guys?
Brody: Imagine you're surfing a wave. If you try to control it, you'll get tense and eventually ruin it, you have to relax and let the wave do its thing.
Dwayne: Yes. Thank you.
-confessional-
Geoff: Dude, you should be a motivational speaker or something, because that was really deep.
Brody: Thanks man.
-end of confessional-
On the third train.
Emma: I have a plan to get us to the finals. With an alliance.
Noah: I like the way you say alliance.
Emma: Okay, the team meetings are to discuss the competition or Kitty or Owen's behavior.
Kitty/Owen: Hey.
Emma: Staying together will also ensure we gather a lot of anecdotes for dinner.
Noah: What kind of person needs to rehearse?
Owen: sign me up.
Emma: No silly, it's what you do the night before the wedding.
Noah's eyes widened in surprise, and Kitty decided to take action and grabbed Emma by the arm.
Kitty: Can we talk?
Emma: Sure. Maid of honor.
The pigtailed sister dragged her to the end of the wagon.
Kitty: It's adorable that you have a plan to spend the rest of your life with him. But don't tell him. The boys hate that. And the million is our target. Right?
Emma: Right. I'm sorry, it's just that when I see her dark brown eyes I start swimming in them like they're a pool of chocolate and...
Kitty: The game. Concentrate on the game.
Emma: Yeah, all right, here I am putting my feelings aside and concentrating on the Noah.
Kitty slapped him.
Emma: The game. Concentrating on the game.
-confessional-
Emma: I really have to try to get Noah out of my head. My... ah, my ex-boyfriend Jake was constantly inside my head, and how did that end? It ruined everything. I'd hate to lose to a guy, or the guy. Right now it's all about winning the race.
-end of confessional-
In another car, the mood was anything but calm. For Devin kept turning around and cursing.
Devin: This train is the slowest and dumbest train in the history of trains. I'm tired of trains, and airplanes, and wagons and portages.
The black-haired man hit the eastbound, and a suitcase fell on him.
Sanders: You're aware that travel is part of the whole, you know. Career. So maybe you should just relax and...
Devin: Don't tell me to relax. You're not my girlfriend. And I know that. Because I don't have one anymore, she's dating her Tennis instructor now.
The boy yelled again with a mixture of anger and frustration.
-confessional-
Carrie: Making Dein angry after the breakup with Shelley made things more awkward, but I'm sure it will pay off in the long run.
Devin (off camera): I HATE TRAINS.
Carrie: I just hope the phase of it will go by fast.
-end of confessional-.
The black-haired man was banging on one of the luggage racks. Until Carrie decided to stop him.
Carrie: Devin, stop.
The blonde took him by the hands. The boy was breathing heavily, but when he saw his partner and felt the contact of her hands, he began to relax.
Speaker: Attention, this is your driver. Stay seated friends.
The train out of nowhere tilted as it went up an incline. Which caused the best friends to fall off at the end of it.
Don: As trains 2 and 3 race for position. The #1 train teams prepare to make their challenges now that they still have a healthy lead.
The Ice Dancers and Opposites watched the two athletes perform the Haka.
Josee: Yeah yeah, we get it. Jacques.
Sky: Let's do it.
The two teams started performing the Haka, Unfortunately, Dave took a bad step, and ended up tripping, taking Jacques to the floor with him. The players gave a thumbs down.
Dave: ow.
Josee: Hey. Let go of my partner.
Dave: It was an accident, I didn't mean to...
The skater picked him up by the collar of his shirt.
Josee: Sabotage us?
Sky: Hey, leave him alone. He already told you it was an accident.
Josee: I don't care, an amateur like you and a wimp like him should stay away from us.
Sky: Amateur? Wimp?
Josee dropped Dave, and faced Sky.
Josee: Yes. That's what I said. Didn't you hear me, amateur?
Sky: Let me tell you something, you can call me names if you want. But leave my partner out of it.
Josee: Oh, how cute how you take care of your little dog.
Sky: Big words coming from someone who doesn't care about his partner's welfare.
The two boys decided to interfere, or it would end very badly.
Jacques: Josee, calm down.
Dave: It's not worth it Sky.
Josee: Yeah, hear your little pet, and go away.
Dave: Hey.
Jacques: Josee.
Sky: That "pet" is named Dave. And he's a better person than you are or ever will be and has the potential to do exactly what you do.
Josee: Oh really? Let's put him to the test right now. We'll perform the Haka, and then, we'll watch you guys do it. If he can do it the first time, I'll apologize.
Sky: It's a deal.
The two shook hands, but their faces definitely said only one thing. War.
-confessional-
Dave: Why did you agree to that?
Sky: It's athlete pride. She insulted my abilities and yours, now let's prove her wrong.
Dave: and... Do you really think I can do things like her?
Sky: You can do anything you set your mind to, you just have to put in the discipline, will and time. You didn't give up on any of the nasty or potentially deadly things we've been through so far. You can handle anything.
Dave blushed a little. He knew he had to avoid his feelings right now, but the girl would just break any wall he made.
-end of confessional-
Josee: Jacques.
The Skaters performed the Haka, flawlessly. Winner a round of applause from the players.
Josee: Very good. Now it's your turn.
Dave and Sky stood side by side, looked at each other, and nodded before starting to perform the Haka. The rugby players applauded them. Josee did look a little surprised.
Josee: mm, good luck. Try doing it on roller skates one day, that would be awesome.
The Ice dancers started to run, followed by the Opposites.
Sky: Hey, what happened to the apology.
Josee: Sorry, but beating you is more important.
As the two teams ran to the rest area. The others were on the bridge.
Katie: All right, just tie it up here and... done.
Sadie: Are you sure you want to do this?
Katie: Of course I do. It's catching a fish. How hard can it be?
The dark-skinned girl dove into the water, but the rope turned out to be tied wrong, bouncing her out sooner than expected.
Katie: Okay. I spoke too soon.
Stephanie: Oh okay. you want me to do this challenge? I'll do it.
Ryan: Okay.
Stephanie: Better me than you no doubt, I'm sure you'd all screw it up.
Ryan: You wish I would screw it up.
Stephanie: Alright, prove it.
Ryan saw that Stephanie had put the rope on him.
Ryan: How did you?
Stephanie: I hope you have a good trip.
The purple-haired girl pushed him.
Ryan: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Don: Looks like Ryan is falling in love with Stephanie again. But will it be a knockout this time? You'll get the answer when we come back in. The Ridonculous Race.
- commercial break-
The camera panned to the station, where the third train was stopping after its long climb.
Don: Train number three arrived earlier than expected, and against all odds.
Carrie: Let's go.
Noah: I can't wait to get my article online. "Got a death wish? Well this is the train for you."
Emma: You're so funny.
Kitty pressed the button.
Kitty: Jump here or Haka here?
Carrie: I say, Haka here. What do you think?
Devin: Sure. Whatever.
The boy punched a tower of luggage, and was crushed by several suitcases.
MacArthur: Wow, way to get the luggage. Jump here?
Sanders: Yeah.
Kitty/Noah: Haka here/jump here.
Emma: Hmm, well, looks like it's time for our first family reunion.
Kitty kicked her in the heel.
Emma: TEAM. I meant team.
Meanwhile, the Ice dancer and opposites were still going head to head. Josee bided her time, and when Dave was close enough, she put her foot in his path, sending him tumbling and rolling in the dirt.
Sky: DAVE.
As the Cree girl went to help her friend, the skaters stepped onto the carpet... but no one was there.
Josee: Hello? Don.
The announcer entered the scene with a towel on his head.
Don: What are you guys doing here? Did you skip the challenge?
Josee: No. We completed it. We're the first.
Don: Yeah, yeah great.
A not at all happy Sky arrived, helping Dave stand.
Don: Opposites, you guys are second. Now you'll excuse me. I'll go back to makeup.
Josee: Yes. This game is getting easier and easier.
Sky: Easy? You cheated, you pushed my partner. That's unsportsmanlike conduct.
Josee: Welcome to reality little girl, there are no rules here. To win. You have to be ruthless, and sometimes, twist the condicy, compassion is a weakness.
Sky gritted her teeth in anger. Until Dave's hands pulled her out of her thoughts.
Dave: Don't listen to her. She just wants to get inside your head and make you lose focus.
Sky stared at him for a moment, and lost herself in his eyes, almost mesmerized, normally she was the one giving the motivational words, but for the first time. Dave was the one helping her.
Sky: Umm. I think I'll go rest today.
Dave: Let's go to the hotel.
Dave took a step, but his leg gave way and he had to hold her hand to keep from falling all the way down.
Dave: I'm sorry, I think...
Sky: no no, it's okay. Let me, you're still a little sore from that fall.
Sky began to carry him by the shoulder and both smiled. While on the bridge, the teams were still having trouble.
Stephanie: Wow, not a single fish. What a surprise.
Ryan: Like you could do any better.
Stephanie: I could do it with my eyes closed.
Ryan: I want to see you try.
The cadets arrived and took the rope.
Sanders: Thank you.
Stephanie: excuse me.
Sanders: you're excused. If you get distracted. You lose.
MacArthur put the rope on her.
Sanders: hold on. Why do i have to be the one jumping?
MacAthur: oh come on, you wrecked every obstacle course at the academy. You'll make it easy.
Sanders: That doesn't mean I'll be the one... or who am I kidding, we both know you'll win this argument.
MacArthur: Good girl. Now go catch that fish.
MacArthur gave her a shove.
Sanders: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
-confessional-
Stephanie: I don't like him butting in, but I respect him. A weakling like you could learn something.
Ryan: I don't think...
Stephanie covers his mouth.
Stephanie: Weeeeeaaaaaakling.
-end of confessional-
While the pros and sisters were still debating.
Kitty: oh come on, we both have great dancing skills.
Noah: Bungee jumping is on my list of things to do before I die. If only I was dumb enough to have one.
Emma: uh, this is so complicated, I never thought there would be so many situations to euqiilibrate between you and...
The second train arrived at the station, interrupting the conversation.
Kitty: Ok, we'll bungee jump.
Emma: Great, we're adjourned.
The Surfers and father and son got off the train.
Brody: Come on man, it's over there.
Junior: "Jump here or Haka here."
Brody: oh, oh oh, definitely Jump here. Bungee jumping is totally cool.
Dwayne decided it was a good time to put his cool side to the test.
Dwayne: Take it easy. Relax your spirit.
Junior: What the hell is wrong with you?
Dwayne: Lighten up kiddo.
Junior (thinking): oh no, he's trying to be cool.
-confessional-
Dwayne gestured "cool" in the distance, while Junior looked through the parent magazine.
Junior: I think I can use this to my advantage.
-end of confessional-
Junior: You're amazing and... I value your opinions.
Dwayne: Really? Ah, I mean, great.
Junior: But, if all the teams choose to bungee jump, we probably have to wait, so are you willing to... consider other options?
Dwayne: Let's rock.
The two of them fist bumped.
Brody: bro, our life is so... so... cool. I love it.
The surfer jumped off the platform... and Geoff realized he didn't put the rope on, so Brody just fell into the river like a comet.
Ryan: I don't remember how to put this on.
Stephanie: So, you just put it around your ankles and... you just gave me a jujitsu maneuver with my own...
Ryan: He shoved her back from earlier.
Stephanie: I hate youooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
-confessional-
Ryan: Are you okay?
Stephanie: okey? You pushed me off the bridge.
Ryan: oh, you can't be that upset. You set a record for the biggest belly flop.
Stephanie: Did I want that record? NO.
Ryan laughed.
Stephanie: It's not funny.
-end of confessional-
Owen: Noah and Emma seem a little distracted today.
Kitty: You think so?
Emma watched as Noah stood between the bars of the bridge.
Kitty: Steph just jumped, hopefully she'll catch a fish and it'll be our turn. I'm sure we're still on the last one...
Emma: by your barge a little higher. Ok, there. will you take a picture of me and my No-No.
Kitty: Now?
Noah: You better hurry up, I can't hold the pose. That's why I never competed in "the next amazing model."
Emma: I might as well keep hanging out in our paradise. Someone always said that stuff to me all the time.
Kitty went with the haters.
Kitty: Why is it taking You so long? We don't have a turn yet.
Ryan: I told you you were wasting time. You are SO selfish. You drive me crazy.
Stephanie: YOU ARE SO SLOW, YOU MAKE ME SICK.
-confessional-
Kitty: What a contrast, Full of love on one side. No love on the other.
-end of confessional-
Brody bounced with the rope, not very interested in the challenge, although Geoff didn't seem to mind.
Katie kept trying, but the fish were evading her, or throwing water at her to get her to let them off the hook.
Sadie: Katie, this isn't working, let's change the challenge.
Katie: Do you think that's a good idea?
Sadie: It's the best chance, this takes a lot of tries, and we have to rotate between teams.
Katie: Okay. I'll take your word for it Sadie.
On the Haka side, Dwayne did a ground spin and topped it off with a disco pose, earning thumbs down.
Ryan came out of the water, but with an eel. Sthepanie laughed at his misfortune, until the same eel fell into her hands and shocked her.
The best friends were also attempting the Haka, but Carrie was performing it poorly, and Devin was just walking around angrily.
Lucas was the next to dive, but on his way down he hit a rock, and on his way up he hit the base of the platform. While Crimson came out of the water with a fish.
Don: the goths are the first to finish the bungee challenge.
Sanders was next, and this time she came out with a fish, which first tried to bite her, and then hit her with its tail a couple of times.
MacArthur: Sis, that fish gave you a good one.
The fish flailed, and ended up biting the top of the cadet's head.
MacArthur: hahahahahahahJ.
Sanders: can we go?
The best friends were still trying the Haka.
Carrie: Tell me is that good? From your looks I'd say no.
Devin: let's do it.
The black-haired man hit a piston, and began to do a complete acting. As if he were a gorilla. Besides the chanting was just screaming.
Devin: Shelley is a troll. I'm going to crush you with my snow boots. And then. You're going to beg for mercy.
Carrie: umm, Devin. I think we need to start over.
Devin: What?
The boy faced the two jocks who backed off.
Devin: What went wrong?
Jock: That was perfect, buddy, you can go.
-confessional-
Carrie: We passed.
Devin: I hate how good that challenge felt, so good.
-end of confessional-
Don: Best friends, cadets and goths are in a foot race for third place.
Don: Best friends, you're third place.
Carrie: Wujuuu.
Don: Police girls, welcome to fourth place.
Sanders: I can live with that.
Don: Goths, you're fifth place.
Josee: Wujuuu, sweaty little people.
The camera pans, showing the Ice Dancers enjoying the sun.
Josee: They're finally here. We've been waiting for hours.
-confessional-
Josee: Getting there first means deluxe attention, food, drink and, foot massage.
Jacques: Foot massage? I didn't have one.
Sanders: Fourth? Ugh, we'll chew them up like French toast.
MacArthur: I'll get the bacon and potatoes.
Sanders: Scrap the ia special, Ice dancers snacks.
MacAthur: Ha, I love it when you get like that.
Carrie: We went from almost last to third place. That's good, yeah sure Devin is a little scary. But as long as he keeps this momentum going...
The kid beat his chest like a gorilla.
Carre: We have a chance to win this.
Devin threw himself against the camera.
Josee: Best friends? They have no chance of winning.
Jacques: Should we add them to the list of enemies?
Josee: put them at the bottom, I'm still thinking about how to remove the masqueraders or the Positivists.
-end of the confessional-
Don: Sixth place (Haters)
Don: Seventh (Positivists).
Don: Eighth (Surfers)
Don: Ninth (Masked mens) (Lucas held his head, as the catfish bit Shane's hand)
Don: Only four teams left battling to not come in last.
Dwayne and Junior were at it again, but just like last time, Dwayne started making moves that were completely out of order.
Junior: Dad, what are you doing?
Dwayne: Easing up on the dancing. Injecting some cool juice. Look at this, the moonwalker.
-confessional-
Junior: I've created a monster. And the worst part is, it's so goofy.
The boy went through the magazine, while Dwayne kept pulling out all the wrong moves... but at least he got them right.
-end of confessional-
Emma: You can't jump alone, Noah. We have to jump together.
Noah: That would be so romantic. Like that movie about the couple on the sinking ship.
Emma: I love that movie.
Noah: I've seen it like 700 times.
-confessional-
Owen and Kitty were on the bridge.
Kitty: Putting those two together during the competition was a bad idea.
-end of confessional-
Emma: Can we?
Noah: Must we?
Emma: We must, and we can.
Noah: We're in a race... yet.
Emma: You're so close. And we'll tell this story to our children.
They both lent themselves to it, but.
Owen: Amm, guys.
Kitty: The game.
Kitty pushed them both away. To Owen's surprise.
Owen: Remind me to never make you mad.
Kitty: I'll remember that. Though I don't know how much good it will do you if it comes from me.
Father and son tried again, again Dwayne blew it.
Junior: Dad, stop it.
Dwayne: But my moves are super cool.
Junior: No, they're not.
Dwayne: Oh, and they are?
Junior: They're two huge guys with tattoos on their faces. Dwayne: So yeah. Automatically cool.
Dwayne: Yeah but...
Junior: Dad. You're not cool. And you never will be.
Dwayne looked down.
Junior: I'm sorry dad, but you don't have to be cool just because of me.
Dwayne: Oh no?
Junior: No. You're my dad, and that's all the cool you need.
Dwayne almost started to cry, but wiped the tear away.
Dwayne: Just. Let's get this over with.
Father and son performed the haka again, this time perfectly, and adding to the emotional moment from earlier, the rugby players gave them the thumbs up on the verge of tears. Leaving the bff's, who attempted the dance, until Sadie stumbled.
Sadie: owww, this looked easier.
The Sisters and TV pros we're running, whit Emma And Noah holding the fishes.
Emma: I'd call him Noah. But he's not that cute. Maybe I'll call him Jake after my ex, He told me I was really obsessive, can you believe it?
Kitty: Remember the part where we tried not to lose?
Emma: Sure, if we got Jake to cut one of Noah's little hairs.
Noah: What?
Kitty: Emma.
-confessional-
Kitty: Obsessive?
Emma: Yeah... I think I have a problem.
-end of confessional-
The BFFs were in a new attempt, Katie was getting more and more nervous, and that only made her make more mistakes in a row.
Katie: Damn.
Sadie: Get up Katie, we can still do this.
Katie: I can't. I'm constantly failing, I'm a failure.
Sadie: You're not a failure. in fact, you're better at everything than me.
Katie: That's not true. I'm just disappointing you.
Sadie interrupted her by giving her a kiss. Katie froze.
Sadie: You could never disappoint me. I just hope I didn't ruin it.
Katie: n-no. In fact, I think it was perfect timing.
Sadie: So, I-I guess we're more than best friends forever.
Katie: Y-yes. I mean. If you want to?
Sadie: Of course I do.
Katie: Okay... now, let's do it together.
Sadie: Always.
The girls stood next to Aldo and performed the haka once again, controlling their nerves as much as possible, the players gave them the thumbs up.
Katie: We did it.
Sadie: Come on.
Emma: But you told me I had to try.
Kitty: Yeah, but if you keep this up, you're going to lose the money, and the boy.
Emma: ... We have to run.
The sisters increased their pace.
Owen: Girls... hey.
Noah: You can't talk with them, or run like them.
Don: Father and son. 10 place.
Junior: We did it dad.
Dwayne: Yeah, we did it. We made a -wipes away a tear- a good team.
-confessional-
Dwayne: I apologize for trying so hard by myself. I thought if I could be...you know, more cool, you wanted to spend more time with me.
Junior: According to this magazine. I should be pulling away right now. What's going on is normal. And it doesn't mean it's not uncool.
Dwayne: I can live with that.
-end of confessional-
Don: Emma and Kitty, 11th place.
Noah: hey, I don't know what dictionary you use. But your definition of alliance is way off.
Emma: Oh, this is what I was afraid of. I like you Noah... a lot. But I can't be with you. Not at the show.
Emma walked away crestfallen, as Noah let out a broken sigh and fell to the floor.
Owen: oh boy.
Owen picked him up.
Don: Reality professionals, I'm sorry. But you're the last to arrive. Time to go.
Owen dropped Noah, who barely reacted.
Don: Oh no, wait a minute, look who we have here, the "platonic" best friends. Where were they?
Katie: Performing the haka.
Sadie: And, confessing how we really feel.
Owen: Awww.
Don: Yeah, that's sweet. But I'm sorry to tell you that YOU, are the last team to arrive.
Bfff: ohhhh.
Owen: Wujuuuuuuuu… whops. I'm so sorry girls.
Sadie: all is forgiven.
- A compilation of the Bff's time at the show is displayed.
Katie: It sucks a little bit to lose, but on the bright side. We did a lot better her than in TDI. We shared a lot of moments with each other. And now we know our friendship is more than that.
Sadie: We may not have had the best performance, but still, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I wouldn't trade you either.
Katie: I wouldn't trade you for the world either.
The bff's walked off through the Neo-Zeeland holding hands.
Katie: What do you think happened to Noah?
Sadie: I don't know, but I hope he can fix it soon.
Owen: Noah... Noah?
Owen slapped him, but barely showed any reaction.
-confessional-
Noah was looking absolutely depressed.
Owen: Ah, don't be sad buddy. There are Thousands of fish in the water...just like this one.
Bring out the catfish.
Owen: Oh, I love you Noah. Kiss ñ. Kiss.
-end of confessional-
Junior was still looking at the magazine as Owen took Noah away. When Dwayne appeared with a tribal tattoo on his chin.
Dwayne: What do you think of your dad now?
Junior: Wow. That looks so…
Dwayne: Cool.
Junior: Yeah... oh no. According to this magazine. Only women can wear that tattoo.
Don: Who will be the next team to go? Will it be the mother and son?
Dwayne: Hey.
Don: Find out on the next episode of... The Ridonculous Race.
-END OF EPISODE-
The opposites had arrived at the hotel, but this time, they had gone their separate ways. Sky had gone to the gym, while Dave relaxed and recovered from his fall with a massage.
Dave: I definitely have to pay more attention when I'm around skaters. This is the second time something like this has happened.
The massager finished her work, and Dave went out into the main hall, where he found Owen shaking the still catatonic Noah.
Dave: Owen, what happened?
Owen: Emma cut Noah off.
Dave: What? Wait. They had started dating?
Owen: ...I think?
Dave: Noah. Noah. Can you hear me?
Owen: No way, I tried everything, not even one of my flatulence made him move.
Dave: Oh shit.
Dave saw that Emma was watching them from a corner, with a clear look of regret. And Dave gave her a look that could easily be translated as "you better fix this" making her duck her head.
Dave: We'll figure out a way to get him to relax. For now let's take him to his room.
Meanwhile, Sky was running on the treadmill, taking her faster and faster.
Sky (thinking): Second place. And all because Josee cheated. How can she push Dave like that and accept it like it's no big deal? She could have hurt him.
The image of Dave trying to calm her down crossed her mind, and remembering the contact their hands and gazes had, she "disconnected" from the world for an instant, causing the tape to drift her by slowing down.
Sky: Ugh. Focus Sky. Block out the feelings. They're just a problem.
The girl remembered the words Josee said to her.
Sky: Play ruthless? I'm going to show her she's wrong. We'll beat her with everything we've got. I hope Dave is ready to give it his 100%. Because I'm definitely going to.

And so ends something that I consider a small trilogy of episodes in the series, the Australia-New Zealand saga.
Katie and Sadie finally told their last note. Unfortunately, this team was a victim of the layout, I ended up giving them very little space, and I had to make up for it in the final stretch. Perhaps also because of the plot I chose. But too late to change things.
The others who kept focus were father and son, as well as Noah and Emma. And they both stayed the same. Carrie and Devin too, but I promise they will have some tweaks.
Dave and Sky again had little time in this episode, but I think I used it in a good way, following what happened in the bonus scene of the previous one. And with great tension between Sky and Josee, who is putting pressure on the athlete. The next few episodes will be very important for this team.
In the next episode, we will return to the land of the Maple Leaf, to have a good feed and a little static rodeo.
I hope you liked it, and please don't be afraid to leave your reviews, I appreciate the critique.
