Richard walked onscreen with the sandstorm pushing him away slightly. He was covering his face to keep the sand from getting in his eyes "last time…" he gets pushed further back "on the Radickulous race!" He started strongly walking against the wind "the teams ran through the harsh deserts, and we all got a little taste of them all. Like how most of them got a small taste of some local spices!" It flashed back to the scene of the teams drinking their chili "and in the end, it was a strong race for last place. But the Runaways screwed themselves with Tess's inability to grab their ticket and Jett's need to steal. Either way, it was a real shame seeing Tess go. But, now we're onto our next leg, so the real question is… who will be our second most embarrassing team!? Find out now on… well, you know the show!"
Intro Plays
"This challenge will pick up from where it left off" Richard announced as he stood at the chill zone "with the teams all picking their next tip in the order they started"
Dawn and Jaime walked forward, tapping the top of the Dickbox. The tip came out and Jaime held it up for both of them "well hey, we're going to Paris" he smiled.
Dawn smiled softly as she put her hands behind her back "I've never been one for the city but I'm sure it will be beautiful"
It cuts to Richard standing in front of a background "Paris France, the homeplace of the Mona Lisa, small coffees, and Women who just won't shave their armpits!" The camera moved to Richard "and once the teams make it to France, they will meet me here" it slowly zoomed out to show him standing high on the Eiffel tower "on the Eiffel tower for the next part of their challenge!"
/
Dawn and Jaime lightly ran towards their moped, hoping on with somewhat confident grins. "To another first place!" Jaime cheered as he started driving off.
Not long after them, Ben and Desmond got onto their own moped, quickly driving after them. Desmond was sitting behind Ben, just hugging his buddy "don't worry Ben, we'll manage to catch them I'm sure of it!"
"That's not the thing annoying me" he murmured as Desmond just hugged him tighter.
They continued to ride for a few moments before looking back. Desmond's eyes widened slightly while Ben looked as deadpan as usual.
Eventually what they were staring at came soaring past them. Shiro was driving their moped while Ninja was standing on top of the handles, facing very forward while somehow keeping her balance. She had her hands straight behind herself like she was in the Naruto run position "excuse us!" Shiro smirked and waved as he passed them by.
"How are they going so fast? Does that Naruto thing actually work?" Desmond scratched his head.
"It might help that one of them is smaller than a child" Ben murmured.
Confessional: Turtle School
Ninja had her hands together in a ninja stance on the bike. They were currently parked.
Shiro was standing close to the camera "do you people in America want to move faster? Maybe even now how to use these?" Shiro held up his ninja stars.
"Consider once again joining Ninja School! We have skills of all kinds here! Ninja, throw some stars" Shiro called back to her.
Ninja opened her eyes and threw some ninja stars backward. The sound of a tire popping could be heard as the air left it.
"What the hell happened to our moped!?" Zeth's angry voice was heard offscreen.
"Oh, shi- Ninja let's get back into this!" Shiro jumped onto the moped and started driving off.
XXX
The teams continued to drive. Tyson was driving his moped while Kali snuggled against his back while holding him "this race isn't so bad" she whispered.
"Hey check out what I can do with this!" Tyson pulled his moped up, leaning backward to try and do a wheelie only for them to fall backward, with Tyson being on top of his much smaller girlfriend.
Piccolo snickered as he passed them by "idiots!"
Monstro looked back as he drove past their crash "should we stop to help them?"
"You can STOP talking and pay attention to the road if you're gonna be the one driving!"
"Right, sorry" Monstro turned back.
Trailing behind them was Team Last Resort, which was getting rather distracted with themselves. Bonnie was holding onto Tamera very tightly, trying to rub her chest on her back while nuzzling her cheek against Tamera's.
"I know who I'm getting a restraining order on" Tamera lightly growled at Bonnie, who was too distracted moving her hands around Tamera's body, who was just trying to push her away and or off the moped.
/
Dawn and Jaime were still driving in a safe lead with the Turtle Schoolers not too far behind them until they got to a car blockade. Dawn tilted her head as Jaime and she got closer.
"What seems to be the issue here?" Dawn politely asked.
"Sorry miss" a man in all black raised his hand towards her "important business here. You and your friend here will have to wait."
"I see…" Dawn looked down slightly before at Jaime.
/
The camera cuts to the airport where La Familia was running inside. "Oh we're first" Maria sounded relieved.
"I wouldn't get confident. We were in 7th place, and we gotta share a plane anyways. They'll catch up fast"
Maria looked down slightly but nodded.
"Do you have any first-class seats?" Margaret leaned against the stand the customer service man was standing at.
"Ah, well ma'am we do not have any seats for people in the race"
Margaret just continued to stare him down, slowly causing him to sweat nervously "fine fine! Two first-class seats coming right up!"
"Make that four!" suddenly Adam and Rodney walk into the airport, surprising Margaret.
"H-how did you two catch up so fast!?"
"We followed your short cut" Adam shrugged before smiling at Maria "and it wasn't hard to chase after this one"
Maria, instead of responding, slowly slinked back towards Margaret. Both girls quietly went towards the plane, not facing them.
"We are killing it, dude!" Rodney smiled down at his friend, raising a hand for a high-five, which Adam happily returned.
/
Not long after the first two teams got into their planes the rest of the teams that were in the lead ran in, except for the Opposite Twins.
After a few moments, Piccolo and Monstro turned their heads in confusion "did those twins finally catch up?"
And instead of getting a response, a moped flew right into him, knocking him over and crushing him in the process.
"Did… we make it?" Joe smiled weakly, as his face and hair were covered in debris they rushed through.
Deion didn't say anything as he spat out a scorpion.
Confessional: Hall of Famers
"This is exactly why I never got a ride from Joe on the way to our practices" Deion joked as he pats his friend on the back. They were standing in front of a luggage pickup area.
Joe rolled his eyes at him "you're just lucky I was fast enough to get here in time. If we got stuck in the second plane there would be no chance for us to actually catch up"
Deion smiled a little "well, at least we didn't hurt anyone on the way there"
"Besides those school children" Joe smirked.
XXX
"While our first nine gets to enjoy our flights, others will have to wait for the second plane. Which won't be taking off for an hour. So we covered it in frowny faces because that's hilarious"
The camera moved over to Seth and Zeth, who were both waiting on small couches. Both of the twins looked seriously annoyed.
"Stupid throwing stars… can't wait to shove those stars down her throat" Zeth growled.
After a few moments, the Rockers and the Rivalry Twins came running in.
"Did we make it?" Makenna looked around excitedly.
Cord pointed over to the flights "looks like we're stuck here for a while"
"Great" Jeremy groaned quietly "we'll have to wait forever now"
"I'm going to go powder my nose for a while" Maya smiled blankly at Jeremy. "Don't wait you~" she waved, particularly towards Seth as she walked away.
Zeth looked weirdly at her brother, who had a faint blush from the attention.
/
Further back, the teams who had been left further behind were starting their race to the airport for the best seats. Guy was riding behind Blake as they drove off. Naturally with Guy being the monolith of a man that he is, the back of the moped was dragging on the ground.
Kylie snickered at them as she slowly drove past them "hey nice ride boys. But maybe next time you should go for the forklift" She laughed mockingly before driving further ahead, purposefully driving over gravel to send it flying at their faces.
Blake gagged and spat up sand.
"Ugh, women are just so desperate for attention from men. It's almost pathetic." Guy scoffed, not being impressed by Kylie's taunt.
Meanwhile, further back, Psychic and Skeptic, Wilderness Girls, and the Polar Opposites were leading against the Toxic Couple, who was far behind everyone else.
"Ours feels so much slower than the rest of theirs!" Hannah scowled looking forward.
"I-I doubt they'd mess with ours… and we'll be stuck on the last plane either way" Joshua rubbed her shoulders a little to try and relax her before she swatted his hands away
"I'm focusing Joshua! They're probably screwing with our moped to try and make it look like we're going slow because of my weight!"
"That would be terrible" Joshua just nodded his head.
Hannah lowered her body down in determination as she started hauling ass and passing by most of the other teams before getting to the Brains and Brawn.
"Out of the way!" Hannah yelled while slamming into the side of Freddy and Danny, causing them to be flung off the road.
Arnold saw the two guys fall down on the ground and just smiled in amusement "Aisling, you think fate can do anything right? Last I checked you were that stupid"
Aisling smiled back at him "I know no matter what mother fate will lead us to where we need to go"
Arnold leaned back, away from her "all right, close your eyes tight and we'll see how far you get" Arnold smirked, slowly strapping a helmet on his head.
Aisling smiled "that would work wonderfully!" she moved her hands to cover her eyes, leaving the driving to fate. The moped almost immediately started going off the road and towards a large rock.
Arnold rubbed his chin seeing them getting closer to the rock. He had to wonder if it was worth slamming in the rock to make her look stupid or do well in the race. Arnold eventually just crossed his arms with a smirk as he let them crash.
After all the crashing and conflict, Anne and Hope just drove past them.
"Well… I wasn't Anne-ticipating this" Anne smiled before giggling a bit.
Hope smiled and chuckled with her. Hope was looking up at Anne as her hair flew behind her head in the wind. Hope eyes showed very obvious signs of affection.
Confessional: Polar Opposites
Anne and Hope were parked on the side of the road, Anne was trying to cheer Freddy and Danny up in the background with jokes, but both of them didn't look remotely amused.
Hope was closer to the camera and was looking down, looking as pathetic as she always does "I'm not really sure how to say it… but I've always been bad at using my words. Like everything else. But… I really like Anne. Like, really like" Hope continued.
"I just don't know why she asked me to compete with her, or why I even said I'd come. I'll just get us both eliminated and Anne won't want anything to do with me anymore. But at least then she won't have to deal with me all the time."

"While those teams are practically playing Bumper Carts, our first nine are making their way to France, where they will begin their race to the Eiffel tower!" Richard's voice announced over the teams running out of the airport and into their taxis.
Piccolo jumped into the first taxi they had and pointed at the driver "you better put the peddle to the metal for the tower or so help me my friend here is going to break this car in half"
The driver stared back at him skeptically before they could hear metal being smashed. The man could see Monstro had accidentally broken the car handle by just grabbing it. "Oops, sorry sir"
The driver looked nervously at Monstro "just get your friend in please little boy"
Piccolo glared at him, not caring if the other taxis were driving past. "Monstro, I think he says something is wrong with the door, can you deal with that?"
Monstro looked at him, not sure what he was really asking before tearing the door off without much effort "like… this?"
The man stared in shock at Monstro before Piccolo honked a horn he had kept in his pocket "hilarious huh?"

Confessional: Opposite Couple
Tyson and more specifically Kali still looked somewhat bruised up, but Kali didn't look too mad at him. "'Well, thankfully our accident didn't set us back too much"
Tyson smiled embarrassingly "sorry about that babe. I just thought that would be cool"
Kali smiled and pat his shoulder "don't worry about it, baby. Just don't do it again and we'll be just fine"

Confessional: Disaster Situation
Desmond smiled as he put an arm over Ben's shoulder "ah France, I always wanted to come here! And going with my bestie? That's great!"
Ben was just sitting there, not paying attention to Desmond "it'll be impossible for us to come in dead last for this challenge so that's something"
Desmond smiled a bit more "glad to see that confidence coming through"
Desmond tries to lean in for a hug before Ben started trying to push him away.
XXX
The front runners make their way to the Eiffel tower without really too much issue. Ninja jumped out of her taxi and spun into a cartwheel before slamming into the Dickbox. Shiro jumped out and tapped the red button, getting their next tip.
"Oh, a botch-or-watch" Shiro grinned while lowering his shades.
"That's right, a botch-or-watch. The one who didn't drink the chili from the last challenge will now have to draw a caricature of their partner. And this will be judged by a local art critic" Richard walked towards a man with an orange beard and some bandages over where his ear should be.
"Oh, and those first nine teams better start hurrying up because our next plane is about to land!"
/
"Granny gotta say you're really kickin it so far" Makenna was looking back from her seat as she started getting up with everyone else, shooting Bea a smile and finger pistols.
Bea frowned at her "you know young lady it's rude to call someone granny"
Makenna just smiled at her "I didn't mean anything by it. You're old so I just assumed you'd be used to hearing that"
"Am I going to have to teach you some respect?" Bea frowned further. Sophie was just silently watching the conversation.
"Makenna, leave her alone" Cord states calmly while pulling on her shirt "annoying the other teams will bite us in the ass later"
"Oh come on I came onto this show to get to meet people!" Makenna whined loudly.
Both teams then heard a boy scoff "of course the women are already catfighting" Guy smirked, "what else can women do besides cook dinner?"
"Am I really going to have to beat your face in!?" Kylie yelled as she turned in her seat and waved her fist at the fat 'man'.
"P-p-p-please Kylie c-can we not f-f-fight them all the time?" Laurie tried to move her away from the scene but she just kept glaring at the fat kid.
"I'm with her, he's gotta stop talking about girls like that if he wants to get anywhere" Makenna glared a bit at him, but she still seemed hopped up on energy.
Freddy was covering his ears with a very annoyed expression. He had a book in his lap and was pretty close to just yelling for them all to shut up. However, he relaxed when Danny laughed a bit.
"Man, this is great, I knew I signed up for the right show!"
Freddy rolled his eyes "of course you're having fun. Meanwhile, I'm getting a migraine!"
Danny shrugged "you can read on the way to the next challenge"
"I will" Freddy grumbled before getting up with his book.
"Spoilsport" he smirked as he got up but watched the arguing.
/
"But, back in Paris our teams have gotten their head start on the caricatures" Richard announced as it showed all the teams doing poses. Tyson, Deion, and Adam were flexing, Monstro was scratching himself, Ninja looked like she was powering up, and Tamera was posing flirtatiously. However she wasn't posing towards Bonnie, she was rather looking away from her and looking at the camera. Meanwhile Ben and Maria were just standing there.
Margaret was the first one to finish and pretty quickly handed the caricature to the expert. He looked down at the drawing to see Maria standing at the bottom of the ocean with her cheeks puffed up and her shoes being made out of cement. He looked a little confused at the drawing but gave them a thumbs up and a tip.
Maria sighed in relief as she took the tip "alright… first place still"
"Just read the tip" Margaret threatened.
Maria gulped nervously before she looked down at it "we have to go through… the catacombs. Oh boy"
/
"That's right" it cuts to Richard walking through the maze that was the catacombs "the catacombs were used to house those that found themselves lucky enough to have the plague. Teams will be using their noses to find their way out, and get their next instructions at these large circular cheeses" Richard stands next to the circular cheeses before taking a bite "hm, not bad"
/
The camera cuts back to the groups running from the airport. Maya raised her hands to try and get the attention of any traveling taxis. Seth looked back to her and Jeremy and frowned a bit to himself before waving her over "hey, other twins, you guys need a ride?"
Maya smiled and skipped over, while Jeremy just looked down and slowly trudged behind her. "Thank you two, we can ride together!"
Zeth side-eyed her brother "gee thanks for slowing us down"
Seth waved his hand as Jeremy and Maya got in "you're overreacting" he hoped in once they were both in before Zeth was stuck coming in last.
Seth smiled slightly at Maya sitting next to her.
Confessional: Opposite Twins
Zeth crossed her arms at Seth "anything you want to say?"
Seth smiled and shrugged "I like helping people. Sorry not sorry I guess"
Zeth rolled her eyes "as long as you don't go full Team Simp on me it's whatever but the moment you start staring longingly at her I'm dropping you hard"
Seth shrugged "not a problem for me. Because I'm not gonna be into someone way younger than me"
"Oh right, that's what plenty of lolicons like you say" Zeth mocked.
"Don't make this my thing…" her brother grumbled.

Back at the artist, many of the teams were getting their art ready and were running to hand it in. The first one to drop it off was Jaime and Dawn. Jaime smiled bashfully at the expert as he looked it over. The drawing was Dawn dressed up as a full hippie while holding a blunt in her hand.
The artist gave them a thumbs up, as Jaime sighed in relief "not the most flattering of drawings, but it fits my aura" Dawn smiled as the two ran to the manhole.
The art expert smiled walking them run off before suddenly Bonnie jammed her painting into his arms "I'm almost confident you will love this"
The artist looked at her for a moment before looking down at the painting. His eyes bulged seeing that Bonnie had literally drawn highly-realistic Tamera without a shirt or really any pants either. Most of it was censored in post-production. She was posed seductively and Bonnie found it apt to have a thought bubble that read 'hey there Bonnie~'
The artist gave a thumbs down as he lowered the painting.
"What!?" Bonnie whined, "that shows her beauty, and it's a caricature because of how much I chose to add!"
The artist kept giving a thumbs down. Bonnie rolled her eyes before going to grab another painting "hey, I'm just going to ask this now but can you burn that?" Tamera states, not even looking down at the drawing.
He slowly nodded.
Shiro snickered walking past her "she must not have a sense of true art" He hands the expert the caricature. It was Ninja with her hair spiked upwards in a power stane as an aura of power formed around her. Also, she was made extra developed all around.
The art expert rubbed his chin before giving them the go-ahead. Ninja and Shiro cheered before running off.
Soon after them, the majority of the teams who had made it already were speeding through their drawings. Kali drew Tyson like the chad from the virgin vs chad memes; Piccolo drew Monstro as a caveman who was haunched forward like a caveman which his partner smiled at; Joe smirked at his partner, having drawn his partner as a large fat guy who was on the ground in his football uniform while holding his leg and rocking back and forth; Rodney meanwhile had drawn Adam as a hot girl. Which pretty noticeably made his partner look uncomfortable.
Bonnie and Tamera came back around, but before they could hand him their painting Ben and Desmond stepped in front of them.
"Hey we're next shit for brains" Tamera growled at them.
"Should've been faster" Ben waved his hand dismissively.
The artist looked at the drawing. Ben had a huge smile on his face and had a foam finger with the words 'Desmond #1' and a shirt with Desmond's face on it. He was also in chibi form.
The artist looked at the two. Ben had his arms crossed but Desmond looked pretty excited. The artist awkwardly cleared his throat before giving a thumbs up. Desmond smirked and stuck his tongue out at the Last Resorters before they both ran off.
The artist looked at Bonnie, who begrudgingly handed her drawing to him as the other teams from the last flight came running in. This drawing was hardly better than the last one, with this one having a similarly naked Tamera that was censored all over, but this time she was posing for a group of paparazzi.
The artist rubbed his chin looking down at that before slowly giving her a thumbs up. Bonnie smiled proudly before running into the catacombs. However, Tamera took a few moments before going down. Making sure to sneak around Bonnie to get a break.
/
Kali and Tyson were running through the catacombs together, just being excited to have such a strong start to the race. Tyson sniffed the air a little "I can almost smell our victory!"
Kali smiled "it'll be nice if we can stay in the top six" Kali nodded while running as fast as she could.
Neither of the two could see someone hiding behind some skulls. It zoomed behind the pile to show Joe and Deion, with Deion looking a little bored.
"Why are we hiding back here like this and not looking for the exit?"
"Because I want to slow some teams down, and those two are giving me a feeling of being threats" Joe murmured as he tossed a skull up and down in his hand.
Deion frowned at him "that's not what we should be focusing on. You know the Runaways got out for not playing fair"
"They got out for stealing. We don't know if this could get us in trouble" Joe shrugged "besides, if she can catch better than you at the Superbowl she'll be fine"
"Kali! I think I found some directions!" Tyson called back to his girlfriend.
"It's showtime" Joe stood up and threw a skull as hard as he could to the back of Kali's head. Kali let out an 'oof' before falling over.
"Joe! You totally took her out!" Deion yelled in shock as he got up and run towards her.
Joe smirked as he ran over, before picking her up over his shoulder and moving her behind the bones from earlier. "Let's get going then" Joe smirked while slapping Deion on the back. Who was looking nervous about his behavior.
/
"Back on the surface, the teams are still getting their drawings done" Richard announced. Cord drew Makenna as a full-on rockstar, looking like Elvis Presly primarily. Guy drew Blake in a black trenchcoat with a fedora on his head. Anne drew Hope as a laughing clown as her bowtie spun around.
Each and every one of them got a thumbs up when suddenly Sophie and Bea ran up to him, with Sophie raising the painting. The man smiled down at her and looked over the drawing. It was a very amateur drawing in what looked like crayon. But, the man smiled and gave them a thumbs up.
Bea smiled and started running, but Sophie smiled up at him "thank you sir" before running after her grandma.
Confessional: Wilderness girls
Sophie had a slightly smug smile on her face "people are always way more lenient on kids and what they do. 'Oh Sophie, this model replica is perfect!'. I only really had to tie a bunch of stick figures together and they gave me my civil war model badge"
Bea crossed her arms "when we get back you're doing that badge all over again"
Sophie stared at her for a moment before sighing "fair enough"

More and more teams were now running around in the catacombs. Leaving very few teams still on the surface. The Opposite Twins, the Rivalry Twins, the Toxic Couple, the Brains and Brawn, Psychic and Skeptic, and the Unbalanced Friendship. Joshua was awkwardly looking up and down at Hannah, blushing slightly as he drew a whale with died pink hair before quickly scribbling it off.
It cuts back down to the catacombs. Ben was walking by himself, honestly not seeming to mind that Desmond had disappeared out of nowhere. However, he couldn't enjoy his peace for long before he bumped into the back of Monstro.
"Oh, hey small one" Monstro smiled as he turned towards him and waved.
Ben just nods as he slowly got up and dusted himself off. He looked past Monstro to see Piccolo was annoyedly looking around.
"Ugh, we're totally lost!" Piccolo kicked a skull on the ground out of pure anger, causing it to fling off a wall and smack him in the nose "oh my nose!"
"Where's your partner?" Monstro asked with a smile.
Ben shrugged "potentially annoying someone else. I'm not going to complain about the chance to be alone"
"That's not nice. My friend Pickle-o would be bedridden thinking I was in danger."
"How do you know he's in danger?" Ben deadpanned
"I'm right here"
Monstro jumped in surprise, before turning to see Desmond was smiling at both of the guys.
"There he is…" Ben murmured.
"I think I found a new route Ben let's get going!" Desmond smiled, grabbing his arm before dragging Ben away from the two.
Monstro rubbed his neck "those two are kinda weird"
"And you're stupid" Piccolo growled "just help me find the exit before I kick your shins"
Monstro smiled before picking him up "I'll find it Pickle-o!" Monstro confidently grinned before running off.
It cuts to another part of the catacombs. Cord and Makenna were walking right behind Dawn and Jaime.
"Why are we following them again?" Makenna asked her partner, obviously bored.
"One of us has to think strategy" Cord stated plainly "and these two are vegans or something right? They're at least here for Mother Nature. So no way they won't just immediately smell out the cheese."
"It would be more fun just going off on our own" Makenna grumbled with her arms crossed.
"When we get a safe ranking next time you can go off and mess with whatever you want. Happy?" Cord didn't stop keeping her eyes on Dawn and Jaime.
"Should we do something about them?" Jaime whispered.
"They are kindred souls" Dawn shakes her head "I rather hope they do well honestly"
Jaime nodded slowly before his head started hurting all of the sudden. He groaned as he hunched forward and held his head. Dawn got close and held his back.
"Jaime, is that your powers again?" The creepy girl whispered.
Jaime weakly rubbed his head "I-It's nothing. t-the cheese is the next left" he says, louder than he planned to.
Cord and Makenna looked at each other for a moment before they quickly started running. Dawn sighed at their loss of a lead, before just helping slowly lead Jaime towards the exit.
/
Back on the surface, the last few teams were in a line. Seth smiled at Maya and Jeremy before moving slightly to the side "you two can go ahead of us"
Maya grinned "really!? That's so sweet!"
Zeth glared at her brother "what are you doing?"
"We're all tied for last. Who cares if we're slightly behind?" Seth smiled as the twins moved ahead of them.
"Thanks" Jeremy meekly whispered to the two, before quickly turning around after Zeth shot him a death stare.
Further in the line, the teams were making good progress. Joshua handed the art expert the painting, which made him laugh very very hard.
"What's so funny!?" Hannah seemed annoyed just thinking some white man was laughing at her before she took the caricature. It was a Drawing of Hannah, but he exaggerated all of her features. Specifically, making her more or less a female Owen with how big she was.
"Why would this ever be funny!?" Hannah growled at the expert, who was still laughing while shooting them a thumbs up.
Joshua just tried to drag Hannah away from the expert, not wanting to waste time like they had in Morocco.
Kylie had drawn Laurie as an over-the-top martial artist. With a long white bandana with a red dot in the middle and bandages all over her arms and legs.
The artist stared at Kylie, slightly surprised as the girl just continued to smirk "yea, I learned how to draw when I was "motivating" this one depressed artsy kid. He's thanking me, from wherever he is"
The artist just gave them a thumbs up "I don't know why you had to make my interest so obvious" She mumbled bashfully while still following the other girl.
Freddy and Danny handed them their drawing, which had Danny in a diaper and nothing else as he tries to smash a circular block into a square hole. Danny looked a bit annoyed but just chose to run ahead of Freddy when they got their thumbs up.
Next up was the skeptic, handing him a caricature that was just a drawing of himself. The artist looked at him and raised an eyebrow. Arnold leaned forward and tapped the corner, where there was a feral-looking Aisling who was chewing on her crystal ball.
The artist snickered before giving them a thumbs up.
The two groups of twins step up. Zeth smirked at her drawing, which was of Seth in a cheerleader outfit cheering on Seth.
"That is cursed" Jeremy murmured to himself seeing it at the same time as the artist.
The artist looked at it for a moment before looking at Maya's. It was a cute drawing of Jeremy dressed up as the main character of The Man Who Hated Musicals. But the drawing was… well it looked like a child did it.
The artist sighed, just wanting to be done with his task as he gave them a thumbs up. "Eeee!" Maya squealed before dragging Jeremy into the catacombs. With the Opposite Twins following behind.
/
The Rockers make their way out of the hole, with Makenna cheering loudly while Cord didn't seem so crazy about their lead.
"I wonder where the tip is" Cord mumbled while Makenna continued to cheer with an air guitar. Cord moved the pile of circular cheeses to the side, looking over a note that seemed to have been left behind for them.
"Well… looks like we're going to sail upstream…" Cord murmured.
"That's right" Richard's voice suddenly cut in as it cuts to him standing at the end of the river.
"For our teams to win, they have to row their cheese all the way to the end of the river. Then, they have to race up these stairs and towards our chill zone," it cuts to Richard standing on the red circle.
It cuts back to Makenna and Cord, who picked up their oars and got ready to get their cheese in the water before seeing Jaime being carried by Dawn.
Cord and Makenna looked at each other before smiling at the two "since you helped us find the exit do you want some help?"
Dawn smiled at them, while Jaime was slouched downwards. "That would be rather wonderful. I knew I sensed warm green energy from you two"
Dawn walked towards them before Joe rushed forward, pushing the Psychics aside and into the stream where they were pushed away.
"What the hell!?" Makenna growled at them, getting ready to tussle with the former jock before Cord forced them both to jump into the stream on their cheese.
"Hey, we should've stopped that guy" Makenna frowned.
"Relax Makenna" Cord stated calmly as she started rowing "we can't do anything to get in their way, besides, they're going to get an obvious penalty for hurting their fellow contestants."
Makenna frowned but just started rowing with her.
"We're in the lead, and all thanks to my quick thinking" Joe smirked at Deion before grabbing a block of cheese and tossing it into the water.
Joe jumped down and looked up to Deion expectantly. Joe looked back up to him when he didn't jump "what? Did all those concussions kick in let's go, slugger!"
Deion jumped on, frowning at Joe "you need to be less violent"
Joe rolled his eyes and started paddling "and you need to be more serious about winning!" Joe started aggressively paddling in the water, with Deion soon joining as they started picking up their speed.
Makenna and Cord looked back to the two, and immediately started paddling faster, however, their strength wasn't nearly enough as the Hall of Famers sped past them, knocking off their cheese and in the water.
Joe and Deion quickly soar to the landing and start speedily running their cheese up the stairs and towards the chill zone. They both take a step on the rug and Joe raised his hands triumphantly "wooo first place baby!"
"Ah ah ah" Richard wagged his finger "not so fast. You two injured a fellow contestant. That's a full 60-minute penalty right there" a stopwatch with 60 seconds appeared above their heads "but, besides that, way to go champs!"
Joe and Deion groaned sadly as they moved aside from the chill zone when the Rockers came in. "Makenna, Cord. You two fine ladies made it first. Congratulations"
Cord did a small fist pump while Makenna chose to celebrate by sticking her tongue out at Joe and Deion.
Confessional: Bandmates
Makenna had a satisfied smile on her face "it feels nice getting to rub a victory in their face honestly. I doubt they'll end up getting last, but that'll teach them to not mess with these girls"
Makenna held out her fist to Cord for a fist bump. Cord slowly blinked before giving her a pity bump "Wooo!" Makenna flung her fists in the air.

After a few moments, with Richard just looking on his phone, another wheel of cheese rolled up to him. Richard looked up from his phone for a moment to see Dawn and Jaime covered in water.
"How the hell did you two get here so fast?" Richard smiled a little seeing Dawn all wet.
Jaime shrugged "someone just threw a bunch of cheeses and oars over into the water."
It cuts back to a few moments later back at the cheeses. Tamera walked out of the catacombs and sighed in relief "finally. That place almost smelt worse than Bonnie"
Tamera looked at the tip and then smiled to herself as she grabbed hold of the cheese piles and shoved them off with the exception of one cheese and one oar.
"This'll be good for screen time" she shot the camera a small smirk.
It cuts back to Richard and the Psychics "well, you two secured second place. It seems you two are going to be the team to beat this season!"
/
Back in the catacombs, teams were wandering aimlessly it seemed. It shows the Brains and Brawn were running. Freddy slowed down to catch his breath, however, as he stopped he noticed Danny run past him twice. Freddy eventually slapped his forehead realizing they had gone in circles.
Hope and Anne were walking around together, keeping a small distance behind the Internet Losers and the Psychic and Skeptic.
"Why are you two following us?" Arnold asked Guy and Blake with a scowl.
Guy smirked at him "oh that's easy. If we follow you two we'll get a win either way. If that Karen you're with can find the exit we might get the lead. But if she's wrong then she'll look like a stupid idiot. Plus, if she's right you 1% cuck will look like a dumbass"
"Cuck?" Arnold looked much more annoyed.
"Yea, your gal there has been staring at my man meat this whole time" Guy smirked pointing at his body.
"My face when Guy thinks women would be into him" Blake quietly snickered to himself.
"KALI!" The group of four can hear a loud voice yelling.
"Can you all please keep it down? I can not hear mother Karma speak to me when you are all yelling louder than she is"
"That wasn't us" Guy rolled his eyes at her.
"KALI!" They soon see Tyson running past them, obviously looking for his girlfriend.
"Cuck lost his girlfriend" Blake and Guy snickered quietly to each other before noticing Aisling and Arnold were starting to walk faster.
Tyson continued to run, passing by the Polar Opposites.
"I wonder why he wants to go to California so much" Anne lightly joked to Hope as the two of them continued to walk mostly by themself.
Hope giggled softly before slowly lying on the ground face down. Anne slowly stopped walking to look back at her "Hope?"
"I'm just… gonna wait here. I've slowed you down enough for today"
Anne smiled and just walked back to her and picked her up, before putting her on her back, making Hope blush a little.
"No need to be so down clown" Anne smiled as she started walking again "we're barely behind, and no way are we going first. Nothing would be more unfunny than that!"
Hope faintly smiled as she held onto Anne.

Back at Richard, Tamera was slowly wheeling her cheese to the host, groaning and panting "I should've kept Bonnie around to do this. My bodacious body was not made for labor…"
Tamera got to Richard and placed the wheel down "third place!" Tamera announced.
Richard laughed, almost directly in her face "oh you need both players to finish Tammy. And I also know you screwed with the cheese. So congrats, you'll be waiting around for quite some time…. With me" he shot her a smirk and a wink.
She looked disgusted at the host before clearing her throat and leaning forward "are you sure we can't… maybe remove those penalties?" She gave him a flirty grin.
Richard drooled a little, taking no shame in looking right at her cleavage "I...I guess I can ignore the penalty… it is a first offense… but you will have to wait for your partner"
Over Joe and Deion's heads, their time was going down to 40 minutes.
Tamera shrugged and stood by Joe and Deion "fine by me. I get screen time and time away from that purple freak"

It cuts back to the teams getting to where the cheeses were. The teams are the Disorganized Disaster, the Wilderness Girls, and La Familia.
"Where is the cheese?" Ben wonders after reading the note.
"Maybe someone ate it all" Sophie suggested before Margaret rolled her eyes.
"Why did they sign a child up for this?" The mafia lady mostly wondered to herself.
"Hey, that's mean!" Sophie frowned at her "I'm really advanced for my age"
"Right…." Margaret murmured. She was about to say something else before another pile of cheese collapsed down on them.
"Well… we got our cheese" Maria murmured under a pile.

Tyson was still running around in the catacombs before bumping straight into another one of the contestants.
"Oh… sorry" he smiled sheepishly as he got up, before seeing the other competitor was Bonnie. He still helped her up, even as he noticed her staring straight at his muscles.
"It's fine. I heard you were calling for your girl Kali right?" Bonnie took his hand and stood back up.
Tyson nods "yea, have you seen her?"
Bonnie shook her head "no, I've been looking for my babe Tamera this whole time"
"Oh, uh, that mean girl?" Tyson rubbed his neck "I didn't think you two were a thing…" he started walking while talking, trying to distract himself from the fact Kali was missing.
"We're not. YET. If I get Tamera and myself super far in the game, I have absolutely no doubts that Tamera will be drooling on herself for some-o-this!"
Tyson just chuckled a bit "I'll take your word for that."
Confessional: Tyson
Tyson was standing in front of a pile of bodies with a small smile "You know, I kinda came onto this show just to spend time with Kali. I kind of totally forgot about the prospect of making new friends. Bonnie is definitely the kind of fun free spirit I can see myself hanging out with when this is done. You know, at arm's length of course"

It cuts back to the exit "while some teams are still lost in god knows where other teams are beginning to pull ahead of the race"
In the water, Kylie was watching Laurie row, not helping her in the slightest. "K-K-Kylie, I-I don't want to c-come off as lazy b-but my arms are g-getting tired"
"Not my problem! You're going to row until those arms fall off!" Kylie barked, throwing her oar off the back of their cheese boat.
Laurie quietly sighed.
It cuts to a black background "ace has been taken, but our spots are quickly filling up! 3rd place goes to La Familia, fourth is the Disorganized Disaster, fifth is the Wilderness Girls, and sixth and seventh are the Unbalanced Friendship and Simps respectively" it shows their images slowly appearing on screen.
The camera moved back to the waiting team and a half "Hall of Famers, your time is up and now you're our eighth-placed team. But there's still no information on Tamera's better half"
Tamera just glared daggers at him, not looking remotely amused by his comment.

Back in the catacombs, the Opposite Twins and the Rivalry Twins were walking together. Being one of the few teams that were still stuck down there.
Zeth groaned in annoyance "following these two dweebs is getting us nowhere"
Seth slowly nodded "I hate to agree with you but you're starting to seem right" Seth walked a little faster to catch up to Maya and Jeremy. "Hey, uh, Maya?"
Maya smiled innocently at him "yes?"
"Sorry, uh, is there any chance we can split up? Zeth is starting to get impatient" Seth smiled a bit at her.
Maya waved her hand, just smiling happily "oh no worries. Jer Jer and I can look around on our own!"
Seth smiled "great. If we find the exit we'll look for you guys" he started walking in another direction.
"Same!" Maya smiled and waved as they walked off. Once they were sure that Seth and Zeth were going in their own way Maya grabbed Jeremy by the back of his hoodie and started dragging him.
"H-hey, n-n-not so t-tight" Jeremy whimpered, but it fell on deaf ears.
Maya continued to lead him until they found the exit in what looked like a random fit of luck. In the water, most of the teams were already in the water and making their way to Richard.
"I predict that our fate in this race will not be so well" Aisling was meditating on their cheese while Arnold was doing all the paddling.
The Polar Opposites and the Internet Losers were pretty easily going past them "you don't say" Arnold growled before smacking her in the back of the head with the oar.

"More and more teams are making their way to the end!" Richard announced confidently as it goes to a black screen again. Ninth place is the Circus Duo, tenth is Turtle School, eleventh is the Brains and Brawn, and then in 12th 13th 14 and 15th are the Internet Losers, Toxic Couple, the Polar Opposites, and the Psychic and Skeptic!"
"And while many of the teams had made it to the end, some of them are still just on their way!"
It cuts to the four teams that are still not at the chill zone. Seth and Zeth were slowly walking around the catacombs, Maya and Jeremy were slowly and weakly moving their scrawny arms to paddle to the finish, while Bonnie and Tyson were just running in different directions.
Bonnie and Tyson had looked through more or less every route they could. And were starting to slowly give up on finding their partners before Bonnie suddenly saw someone's foot sticking out of a pile of skulls.
"Oh, shit" Bonnie murmured as she started moving parts of the bodies aside. However, after a while she just gets to Kali "oh poo" she sighed a little "oh wait, right, I have to get Tyson!"
"Tyson!" Bonnie started calling for him, and Tyson came sprinting in as fast as he could "Bonnie, did you find her?"
"Yea, she's just taking a nap" Bonnie shrugged pointing back at his girlfriend. Tyson sighed in relief as he ran over to her and pulled her into a big hug.
"Oh man I was nervous about her…" he smiled a bit "thanks for the help Bon Bon" the large man smiled at her "I'm sorry we couldn't find your girl, but maybe she's already waiting for us at the end?"
Bonnie shook her head "Tamera is my boo. No way would she ditch me"
Tyson nodded slowly "well, I owe you one for helping me get Kali. Do you at least want a ride to the finish line? Your friend didn't seem like the type to… be really big on losing. So it's better if we just meet her there"
Bonnie stared at him for a moment before nodding "that makes sense to me. Lead the way hunk o' man!" Bonnie cheered and slapped him on the back as their small group ran for any exit.

Maya and Jeremy were still slowly rowing their oars. "We're finally almost done" Jeremy groaned weakly.
"Don't start crying" Maya murmured at her brother before they both stopped rowing at the sound of what seemed like a motor. The twins turned around and saw Tyson pushing a cheese block with Bonnie and Kali on top, with Kali looking drowsy but awake.
"H-hot dang how is he that fast?" Maya looked shocked, but Jeremy was just getting himself ready for the collision by lowering his head and hiding his headphones.
Tyson and the two girls eventually ram into them, pushing the twins off into the water and running past them. The camera focused on Maya and Jeremy, who a few moments later stuck their heads out.
And seconds after that they can hear Richard's announcement "Opposite Couple! You're 16th. Last Resort. You're 17th. Leaving us with our final groups. Both twins!"
It cuts up to Bonnie squeezing Tamera in an affectionate hug while Tyson was squeezing Kali again.
/
Seth and Zeth both walk out of the opening, with Seth sighing in relief "we finally made it. Well. time to go get Maya and Jeremy"
"You mean those twins?" Zeth scowled while pointing forward. Seth turned around and looked further, seeing Jeremy and Maya were getting back on their cheese and rowing.
"W-what?" Seth didn't know what to say.
Zeth smirked "what? Can't believe people would take any advantage they can get?" Zeth rolled her eyes and grabbed a piece of cheese "just hop on and let's go"
Seth smiled a bit at his sister before hopping on and rowing after the Rivalry Twins. Maya and Jeremy got to the stairs before noticing the other Twins coming up to them.
"Ah, are we going to get out already?" Jeremy murmured dejectedly before Maya shoved the cheese wheel in his hands
"Just keep climbing" Maya quietly threatened.
Jeremy gulped, backing up with the cheese much faster than he was before. While they were still trying to get up the stairs the Opposite Twins were fastly gaining on them.
Jeremy and Maya made their way to the top, with the Opposite Twins beginning to climb the stairs. Maya smiled happily as the two of them rolled their cheese to Richard.
"Are we safe?" Maya panted with a small smile.
"That you are Maya! Congrats on clinching the win in the end!"
Maya and Jeremy sighed in relief, before walking past Richard. Once they were offscreen, Richard looked at Seth and Zeth, who both looked dejected.
"Opposite Twins, I'm sure it's obvious but you're done. Not much to say, Zeth was far from one of the hottest girls here" Richard waved them dismissively before walking away. Not even giving them a real sendoff.
/
The Opposite Twin's time on the show flashes on-screen "well, that sucked" Seth sighed sadly.
"Eh, don't beat yourself up over it" Zeth's voice came on next "that Maya chick was a bitch, no two ways about it. Any guy here would've helped to get in her pants"
"That might be the one nice thing you've ever said to me"
"Well don't get used to it. We got out second, I just don't want this whole thing to be a pity party"
The screen soon showed the two of them floating on a cheese in the river.
"Just wish we didn't have to get home by cheese" Seth mumbled.
"Meh, not like we have to go home just yet. I'm definitely going to see if I can "borrow" something at the louver" Zeth smirked to herself.
"I guess I'll have to stay here until we can get you out on bail then" Seth teased as they both enjoy the peace for the night.

20th: Runaways
19th: Opposite Twins
AN: Really don't got much to say for this one besides that I think I've improved on giving some people screen time here and there. And it'll be easier as time goes on. And for those on the discord, I hope y'all are excited for Bad drawing the portraits lol
