Episode 1- None down, Eighteen to go. Part 1
The camera begins by showing a panoramic view of the city of Toronto, with the national tower and Lake Ontario visible.
Don: This is Toronto, capital of North America, birthplace of funk, and where the albino panther roams freely.
The camera zooms in on a boat in the water, where that animal roars majestically. The camera then pans to the roof of Toronto Central Station, where a new TV host was waiting.
Don: Beneath My size- 13 brogues, 24 teams are arriving at this historic train station ready to embark on a Race around the world. I'm your host, Don. And this is… The Ridonculous Race!
Don smiles at the camera.
The intro shows the silhouettes of the 24 teams, and several images of passports, blue and black tickets, and several images of many parts of the world such as the coasts of Hawaii, the Chinese wall, the Eiffel Tower among others, and then ends with the images of the 24 teams, and the logo of the show.
Narrator: Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race.
The camera pans back to the station, this time, Don was on the sidewalk, walking towards the entrance of the place.
Don: Welcome to The Ridonculous Race, right now, 24 teams from across the country are preparing to embark on a race to the death.
Static is heard, Don brings his hand to his ear to get an update.
Don: Not to the death? Ok. Let's meet our teams that "AREN"T" competing to the death.
The camera completely changes location, to a travel bus, where 9 of the teams were, and focused on a black-haired boy in a yellow t-shirt and a girl with wavy blonde hair in a green sweater. The boy was reading a magazine, while the girl looked at him.
Don: Carrie and Devin, best friends.
-Confessional -
Carrie: I met Devin in the sandbox and we haven't spend a day apart since. If anyone can win this it's us.
Devin: Yeah, I know Carrie really well, it's like we're...
The black-haired man notices that his friend was looking at him funny.
Devin: Um, what are you doing?
Carrie: oh, umm, lint check, you know for the camera.
The blonde "removes" a "fuzz" from his shoulder and then looks at the camera nervously.
Carrie: Woo, Race.
-end of confessional-
The camera moves to another seat where a brown-haired teenage girl was filing her nails, and a blonde adult was putting on lipstick.
Don: Kelly and Taylor, mother and daughter.
-confessional-
Taylor: A, I'm very beautiful, obviously. And B, I'm the best at everything I do, so unless mom screws things up, we'll easily win this race.
Kelly: Taylor and her friends love when I hang out with them, they know me as the cool mom. We are so close, some people think we are sisters.
Taylor: Wait, what?
-end of confessional-
The camera panned to another seat, where there were two purple-haired girls with Asian features, one had two pigtails and was taking some selfies, until the other, with long flowing hair, gave her a disapproving look.
Don: Emma and Kitty, real sisters.
-confessional-
Emma: I've studied international law so that will give us a big advantage. Which is good because, we're here to win.
Kitty: And to see the world, meet cute guys and have fun.
Emma: Only if there's time for that, which there won't be, so just focus on winning, okay?
Kitty sighed a little exasperated.
Emma: Good
-end of confessional-
The camera moved to another seat, where two boys were sitting, one dressed in military fatigues and the other in a red coat and wearing glasses.
Don: Cameron and Brick. Brains and brawn.
-confesionario-
Brick: Cameron and I meet during out time in Revenge of the Island, And we both managed to win a season. But since we splited our money with our friends. We decided to work together so we can have a bit more for our dreams.
Cameron: i'm confident on oye chances, whit Brick military training and my knowledge and improvisation capacity, we should be able to win.
-fin del confesionario-
The camera panned to another seat, where a goth boy and a goth girl were sitting.
Don: Crimson and Ennui. Two exceptionally pale young goths.
A few thunderclaps lit up the screen, as the camera focused on the expressionless goths.
Don: Well that was disturbing.
The camera panned to another seat, where a fat blond boy and a thin brown-haired boy were traveling, both of whom were not unfamiliar at all.
Don: Owen and Noah. Experienced reality show contestants.
Owen: Wujuuu.
The big guy raised his hand for a high five, but Noah rolled his eyes.
Owen: Don't keep me waiting.
-confessional-
Owen: Noah and I met in total drama, and we've been on a bunch of reality shows since then like Kitchen Fusion, and Terror Tractor, and, Fashionista Roulette.
Noah: Still don't know how you got on that one.
Owen: I'm so excited to be reunited with my partner. Come here.
The blond grabbed him for one of his patented bone-crushing hugs, Noah could only gasp.
-End of confessional.
The next team were a girl with Asian features, dressed as Sailor Moon, and a boy with slight feminine features, who complemented the cosplay by being dressed as Tuxedo Mask.
Don: Lara and Pierce, The Cosplayers.
-confessional-
Lara: Pierce and I met at an anime convention a few years ago, and we've been an inseparable team ever since.
Pierce: Don't be fooled by our looks, we're stubborn as mules. And I mean that in a good way.
-end of confessional-
The camera showed a pair of twins, dressed in identical sweaters, the one in the light blue coat was wearing an injury helmet which he was finishing fitting, while the other, in the blue coat, pulled out an inhaler.
Don: Mickey and Jay. Identical twins used to facing adversity.
Out of nowhere, a large amount of luggage fell on them.
-confessional-
Mickey: We've been through a lot, but we're not cursed, what comes before a curse is us.
Jay: like when I was 6 and fell into an owl's nest, and one of the babies flew into my ear, since then all I hear from this side is "Huuu, Huuu".
Mickey: We constantly face adversity, and, we overcome it.
Jay: Sorry, can we switch sides?, all I hear is, "Huuu, Huuu, Huuu."
-end of confessional-
The camera panned over to another seat where an extremely muscular guy and a red-haired girl, who also had some muscle, were sitting.
Don: The totally in love daters. Sthepanie and Ryan.
-confessional-
Ryan: Sthepanie and I met at the gym 2 months and 6 days ago and have been going seriously ever since.
Stephanie: We're so excited, neither of us have traveled before, there's so much to know, how. What do chocolate protein bars taste like in China?
Ryan: I was thinking just that.
Stephanie: No way?
The couple started kissing.
-end of confessional-
The camera changed location to a train stopping at the station, from which a blond boy and a black-haired girl jumped out, both wearing pink skating suits with beige vests.
Don: Josee and Jacques. Ice dancers.
-confessional-
We know how to win. We've won gold everywhere.
Josee: Except…the Olympics. He dropped me so we only got silver.
Jacques: I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!
Josee: Jacques! Silver is his least favorite color.
-end of confessional-
Next off the train were a blond guy in a hat and a tanned brown-haired guy.

Brody: Yeah man, brothers forever, G and B, for the W-I-N.
-end of confessional-
The last to get off the train were two girls dressed alike, one was fair-skinned and plump, while the other was slim and dark-skinned.
Don: Katie and Sadie. Best friends forever. Or B.F.F.S.
Katie: I can't believe we're going to do this.
Sadie: I know, it's so exciting.
Both: iiiiihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
-confessional-
Katie: Sadie and I participated in the first season of total drama, but unfortunately we weren't very successful. And we never got a second chance.
Sadie: But now we're in a completely different arena, and also you can't separate us, we're a team until the end.
Katie: Exactly. Take that Chris.
-end of confessional-
The first 12 teams emerged from inside the station. Some of the veteran Campers recognized each other instantly.
Owen: Geoff.
Geoff: Owen. Come here, Big Man.
The party guy and the Fart machine shared a hug.

Sadie: oh this is so exciting, it's like a reunion.
Katie: oh, you're right, it's very exciting.

Don: Also competing, Dwayne and Dwayne Junior. Father and son.
-confessional-
Dwayne: He spent a lot of time in the office, so this race is the perfect opportunity to bond with my son. Ain't that right champ.
Junior: ah, sure dad, hey, there are more kids my age here, right?
Dwayne: oh, well...
-end of confessional-
A girl dressed as a police officer descended with a rope from a building, and as she touched the ground, another officer jumped from inside a building.
Don: Sanders and McArthur. Ambitious police cadets.
-confessional-
McArthur: We're tough as nails and we're here to win.
Sanders: Sure, as long as we don't break any international laws.
McArthur: I could break some.
-end of confessional-
The camera panned to another section of the street, where two boys were fighting.
Don: Lorenzo and Chet. New stepbrothers.
-confessional-
Lorenzo: My dad married his mom last year, but we still hate each other, so they made us do this. Jerks.
Chet: Don't call my mom a fool, -pushes him- Jerk.
Lorenzo shoves back.
Lorenzo: shut your mouth Jerk.
Chet throws himself at him and they fight again.
-end of confessional-
A van pulled up and out of the van stepped two tan-skinned boys, one wearing a red eye-mask, a white leather jacket with a double S, red gloves and pants, boots and a white belt.
The other wore blue and white wrestling attire, including the mask, a black sleeveless t-shirt with the words "Blue Chaos", and white boots.
Don: Lucas and Shane, the Masked Mens.
-confessional-
Shane: Lucas and I were adopted by the same family, and we have been trying to earn money for the shelter with our respective methods.
Lucas: So watch out, this dynamic duo won't stop until they're the last one standing and lift the championship.
The two high fived.
-end of confessional-
The camera panned to show a red-haired boy and a black-haired girl, both dressed in fashionable clothes.
Don: Also competing, Tom and Jen. Fashion bloggers, attractive and with impeccable taste? I shouldn't have let them write their own introduction.
-confessional-
Jen: Hey-hey, to all our blog followers out there! Wish us luck!
Tom: I bet "Jen we could win the race", but I didn't think she'd actually take it up on me.
Jen: I put my mind to something and it happens.
-end of confessional-
A chubby guy, listening to music on his headphones and a blond guy playing air guitar entered the scene.
Don: Rock and Spud. The rockers.
-confessional-
Rock: Spud wasn't sure about doing this because he doesn't have a super figure, and he's not really good at anything, except on, Rocking on.
The blond guy does some chords of air guitar.
Rock: So I told him, just rock out dude. I'll take you.
The two started rocking out in the confessional.
-end of confessional-
The camera focused on two hippie girls who had arrived on bicycles.
Don: Laurie and Miles. Very hippie granola-loving friends.
-confessional-
Laurie: If we win, we'll donate everything to our favorite charitable causes, save the humpback walrus. Eco-warriors for goat's milk. People for the ethical treatment of ants. So many wonderful causes.
-end of confessional-
Two girls with glasses got off a bus.
Don: Ellody and Mary. Girl geniuses who will use their awards to support the scientific community.
-confessional-
Ellody: Problem. Astrophysics is underfunded.
Mary: Reality shows offer monetary prizes, problem solved.
-end of confessional-
A car stopped, and a pale girl in a pink princess dress, with a pink bow tie, got out of the car. And a blonde girl, wearing a white blouse and a blue plaid skirt.
Don: Ella and Sammy, the Positivists.
-confessional-
Sammy: Ella and I met on in Revenge of the Island, but unfortunately we didn't have the best time there thanks to my sister Amy and Chris. But they're not here, so nothing can screw us up.
Ella: And Donald gave me more freedom to be able to sing, which means I won't be unfairly disqualified.
The princess sung a couple of notes, making some burda enter the confesional.
-end of confessional-
The two approached the other teams, waving to Brick and Cameron.
Out of a cab stepped a boy dressed as a wizard and a girl dressed as a Viking.
Don: Leonard and Tammy. Dedicated to live-action role-playing. Whatever that is.
-confessional-
Leonard: Pahkitew Island was difficult. But with Tammy's new spell, Huzaa, we'll claim the eye of the dragon. That's a million dollars in dwarven language.
Tammy pulled out an ocarina and played some notes.
-end of confessional-
Another cab pulled up and out of it stepped a black-haired Cree girl and a thin, gray-haired boy. The girl smiled determinedly, while the boy poured disinfectant on his hands.
Don: Sky and Dave. Polar opposites.
-confessional-
Dave: So. Here we are... I'm already regretting it.
Sky: Dave and I don't know each other very well, but my sister broke her hand in one of her workouts. And my e- my boyfriend Keith, was sick. Still, I'm confident we can win this.
Dave: And I'm confident I'll get out of this in one piece... maybe two... or maybe I should have prepared my will.
Sky sighed, this was ceasing to seem like a good idea at every moment.
-end of confessional-
The camera panned to show the last team, two seniors with tennis equipment.
Don: And finally, Gerry and Pete. Retired professional tennis players and friendly rivals.
-confessional-
Gerry: We're both very competitive, but for half a million each? Game on.
They both laughed.
Pete: Maybe we'll get some new sponsorships. If you need a laxative salesman for the elderly.
Both: Call his agent.
The two seniors laughed again.
-end of confessional-
The 24 teams gathered at the entrance. And Dave was surprised to see one person in particular.
Dave: Noah?
Noah: Oh for heaven's sake, how likely was it that I'd run into so many acquaintances?
Sky: Wait, You know Noah?
Dave: I'll explain later, now let's stay tuned.
Don: Welcome, contestants. This is the starting line for your 26-part race around the world. Each part ends at a Chill Zone. Get there fast, because the team to stand on the carpet of completion, may be cut from the competition. But the first team to reach our last Chill Zone, will win…one million dollars!
The teams celebrated at the prospect.
Don: Look this way please.
The teams saw Don leaning back with a mini-statue of himself, with a red button on his head.
Don: This is our box of Ridonculous clues, also known as the Don-box. Press the button to get the travel clues that will guide you through our mind-blowing race. Ready teams?
All teams got ready to race.
Don: On your marks… get set… GO!
The 24 pairs began to run, running past the host.
Don: Watch your face. Not the hair. Ahhh.
Several teams reached the box at the end of the block and took their first clue.
Geoff: Race to. Canada's national tower.
Dwayne: and find the Don box to get their next clue.
The surfers, Father and son and the Skaters took the lead. Followed by the Cadets, Step Brothers, Adversity Twins, Bloggers and Brains and Brawn.
Junior: There's the tower.
Jacques: And here comes the competition.
Dwayne: Where?
Diverting his gaze for a second caused him to trip over a trash can, which ended up falling on top of the skaters.
Dwayne: Sorry, my fault.
Geoff: Woah, are you guys okay?
The skaters took off the can with no problem.
Geoff: oh great.
The surfers got ready to run again, when the same trash can fell on them.
Geoff: Run.
The two kept running, even though they couldn't see anything.
The camera panned to the tower, where Father and son were about to reach the entrance, where the Don-box was.
Dwayne: There's the Don-box.
The adult pressed the button and brought the note to his son.
Junior: it's an, Either-or... What's a! Either-or?
The Ice damcers took their cue, and then both teams watched as the still-blinded surfers crashed into a pole. The camera panned to the top level of the tower, where Don was ready to explain the challenge.
Don: An either-or, gives the teams a choice between two challenges. They EITHER climb the stairs to reach the top of the tower's observation deck, it's only less than a billion steps. OR scares. Take the elevator, and then get the scare of a lifetime...
The camera pans to the outside of the tower, where there were strong winds.
Don: By doing a sky-walk all the way around the outside of the tower. Nothing to worry, they'll be wearing helmets. And as a safety measure, we had safety rail installed.
That same "safety rail' was leaning, a sign that it was clearly placed in a pathetic manner. Don went back inside, where there was an intern reclining on one of the waiting couches.
Don: Our teams must finish one of the two challenges and find this local guide to get their next clue.
The other 5 teams behind took and read their clues.
Sanders: 144 flights of stairs? Yes, we'll do scares.
Tom: scares.
The stepbrothers were peeling and tugging at the clue.
Lorenzo: scares.
The brown-haired let go of the track causing his stepbrother to fall by continuing to pull.
Chet: Whatever.
Brick: Scares?
Cameron: I guess.
Mickey: Stairs?
-confessional-
Jay: Mickey gets dizzy when he goes up to high places really fast. That makes it hard to take flights or, you know, climb really tall towers.
The brother in the blue sweater took the clue.
Mickey: ouch, paper cut.
-end of confessional-
Father and son entered the elevator.
Dwayne: Here we go, first ones, come on Junior, give me five.
Junior dodged it, and Dwayne ended up slapping the elevator panel, lighting up all the buttons.
Dwayne: Oops.
-confessional-
Dwayne: In a tower this thin, there sure are a lot of floors.
-end of confessional-
The two exited the elevator and went to the stairs, as the other teams arrived and realized the problem.
Geoff: Hey, who pushed them all?
McArthur: Let's take the stairs.
Sanders: or, we could wait.
McArthur: move.
The only ones who stayed were the Fashion Bloggers.
Jen: nah, I'd rather stay here.
Tom pressed the button to close the door. The camera moved to the stairs, where two teams had already begun the long climb.
Dwayne: If they ask we choose stairs. Always stairs.
Don: While father and son and the adversity twins attempt to climb an insane number of stairs.
The camera panned to the first floor of the tower, where the goths, nerds, sisters, geniuses, rockers, vegans, professionals, best friends, B.F.F.S, tennis rivals, positivists and polar opposites waited for the elevator. The Daters, Cosplayers and masked mens had made the choice to take the stairs, while there was no sign of the mother-daughter team.
Don: Most of the teams chose scares, but they will have to wait a long time before the elevator returns.
-confessional-
Sky: We should have taken the stairs.
Dave: No thanks, I have no intentions of getting extremely sweaty until we're near the rest area for a shower. Do you know how many germs your own sweat can have? Do You?
Sky: ...I'm regretting this more and more.
Dave narrowed his eyes.
-end of confessional-
The camera moved to the elevator, where Tom and Jen decided to take advantage.
Jen: hey-hey fashion blog followers, we'd like to talk about today's fashion disaster, which is...
Unbeknownst to them, the elevator stopped on a floor where there was an old janitor working.
Tom: Overalls. Gross.
Jen: I know, so get up to date.
The camera pans to the top, and Jen and Tom are seen exiting the elevator with a bucket and wet mop respectively.
Jen: I don't see any of the other teams. We're winning. Yessssss.
Tom: Let's take the catwalk, and walk to the winner's circle.
Jen: Like, we're the best.
Their smiles and confidence faded as they felt the strong winds.
Jen: We have to walk? OUTSIDE?
Don: Oh yes you have. When the Ridonculous race returns.
-commercial break
The camera returned to the staircase area, showing that the step-siblings, surfers, skaters, cosplayers, Daters and masqueraders were relatively evenly matched.
Don: those who left the elevator are on a painful climb, and frankly that will be more entertaining to watch.
Mickey: The good thing is that we are not in last place. On the downside, that won't last long.
Meanwhile, mother and daughter finally made it to the first floor.
Taylor: Oh great, thanks for being slow, now we're in last place. When we get home, hire a personal trainer.
Kelly: Honey that's...
Taylor: A good idea, I know, that's why I thought of it.
Back on the stairs, the surfers passed the twins adversity.
Geoff: Nice pace dudes, keep it up.
Mickey: They seem nice.
Jay: no alliances, remember.
-confessional-
Mickey: Jay thinks we shouldn't form alliances.
Mickey: We are fresh meat. Very fresh meat.
-end of confessional-
Meanwhile, Sanders was leaning on a railing recovering her nourishment.
Sanders: They're burning... my thighs... Feel dizzy.
McArthur walked down to where her companion was lying and shouldered her.
McArthur: So you're one of those fat-but-thin people who can't walk up 10 stairs without throwing up. Whats You excercise? Yoga?
Another who was having similar problems was Cameron.
Cameron: Oh, maybe we should have taken the elevator up.
Brick shouldered him up.
Brick: A soldier never leaves a man behind.
-confessional-
Cameron: Despite my time and experience in Total Drama. My physical condition still leaves much to be desired.
Brick: Nothing to be ashamed of soldier, your greatest asset is your privileged mind, something not everyone has.
-end of confessional-
Don: While most of the teams continue to climb or wait.
The camera pans to the Hall below, where Owen was eating a can of beans, Dave was pouring disinfectant on himself, then offering some to Sky, who shook her head.
Don: And waiting.
The camera focuses on Leonard meditating, while Tammy polished her ocarina. To then focus on the expressionless goth.
Don: and waiting some more.
The camera pans to the upper area, where Tom and Jen were looking outside in terror.
Don: The fashion bloggers are the first to reach the observation deck, but the scare could be too much for them.
Tom: It's a death walk. I'm in svelte fashion, the wind will blow me away like a leaf.
The intern rolled his eyes, that was going to be a long day.
The elevator finally returned to the first floor. And 8 of the teams went up.
Don: with the return of the elevator the competition heats up.
Taylor: Rude.
Owen decided to approach the larpers.
Owen: Cool, nice tunic.
Leonard: Thanks. It has camouflage powers. Watch. Scyrus desapirus maximus. you can't see me anymore right?
Owen: ammm. I have to go over there.
Dave (to Noah): tell me he's not serious.
Noah: Trust me, he is. The second group that Chris brought to the show had a couple of wackos. Just look at Pink Snow over there.
The two turned and saw Ella humming a tune, which brought in some stray dogs and cats, as well as some birds. While Sammy was petting a German Shepherd.
Sky: Can I ask exactly from where you two know each other?
Owen: Yes, I'm interested too.
Noah: We're cousins on the paternal side.
Owen: You never told me you had another cousin.
Noah: You never asked.
Upstairs, the intern brought a box of helmets over to the Bloggers.
Tom: Helmets? and ruin my hair, are you crazy?
Jen: Besides, thats totally not my color.
Tom: It's not, trust me.
The intern looked at the camera. Meanwhile, on the stairs, Dwayne was starting to feel the effects of fatigue, being passed by his son, the surfers and the Skaters.
Geoff: Come on man, our calves will be toned after this.
Brody: Yeah, totally, we'll look like Greek gods from the knees down.
The skaters stopped at one of the stairs to say hello.
Josee: Greetings to all our fans. We love you.
Sanders: Put me down. I can do it.
McArthur: I don't believe you chicken legs.
-confessional-
McArthur: It's all in the glutes. I just use the stair machine at the gym. Right now I'm like 80% glutes, they've taken over my whole body.
He flexes one of her arms.
McArthur: See this? It's glutes.
-End of confessional.
The camera shows the outside of the tower.
Don: After an hour of climbing steps some of our teams are reaching the limit.
Chet: If we come in last... it will be your fault... Jerk.
Lorenzo: Move... and walk faster... turtle.
Chet: Stop breathing down my neck… Stinker.
The cosplayers and the Masked Ones weren't getting up there very well either.
Pierce: I'm starting... to think... we should have waited... for the elevator...
Lara: Come on... don't give up... you're Tuxuedo Mask... You can handle anything...
Lucas: I haven't... felt so tired... ... Since that Rumble wrestling... Of 1 hour.
Shane: Hang in there man... we can do it... the others are counting on us...
But the ones who were bearing the brunt of things right now were the adversity twins, more precisely Mickey, who had his eyes wide as saucers.
Jay: Stay with me Mickey, we are almost there.
Mickey: it's ok mommy I don't need a new elephant.
Jay: And this is why we don't visit many skyscrapers.
The elevator went all the way to the top and let out the best friends, the goths, the sisters, the vegans, the B.F.F.S, the geniuses and the tennis rivals.
Devin: There's the platform, let's go.
Carrie and Devin each grabbed a helmet, but Tom stopped the others.
Tom: Wait, I have to make sure my helmet is sanitized before I do this.
The other teams were not very happy. Carrie and Devin went outside with helmets equipped.
Devin: Woah.
Carrie: Look on the bright side, you always wanted to overcome your fear of heights.
Devin: I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of falling, it's very different.
Carrie: Don't worry, it's a TV competition. It has to be safe.
The orange bird that looked like Scott landed on the trellis platform, and the platform gave way completely. Fortunately they were both on the common platform. At that instant, the tennis rivals came out from inside and started walking on the ledge.
Pete: Let's go to the lead.
Gerry: yeah.
Carrie took Devin by the hands and made him look her in the eyes.
Carrie: You can do it. I believe in you.
Devin: At least you do.
The best friends started walking, followed by the B.F.F.S. all walking carefully because of the strong wind, which was blowing trash, papers, and even a Raccoon holding on to an umbrella. Something that caught the attention of the 3 teams.
Meanwhile, the elevator returned to the first floor.
Owen: Make room for two.
Taylor: Sorry, there's no room.
Taylor pressed the button to close the elevator, but Owen managed to squeeze in. Thanks to his body mass (and to a lesser extent, Spud's) the teams were pretty tight. In fact Dave and Sky ended up on top of each other in the corner.
Dave: I hope if Keith sees this, he understands that it's a matter of space.
Sky: Oh yeah... I'm sure he'll understand.
The elevator began to rise, although the noises it was making evidenced that it was close to its weight limit.
Taylor: This elevator sounds horrible.
Owen's stomach rumbled.
Dave (horrified): oh oh.
Within seconds, flatulence smell flooded the confined space.
Taylor: Now it smells horrible.
Everyone started coughing, while Noah simply stood idly by. For better or worse, he was used to it by now.
Meanwhile the other teams continued with the walk, the strong gust made the best friends overtake the rival tennis players.
Carrie: you're doing great, just keep putting one foot in front of the other. I'm so proud of you Devin.
Devin: I couldn't have done it without you partner.
Carrie blushed.
Devin: I'm not going to die, I'm not going to die.
Kitty: THIS IS SO COOL!
Emma: Focus! This is life or death.
Kitty: Come on, look at what we're doing, it's incredible! I feel so alive!
Emma: Yeah, and I don't want them to put that on your tombstone. Come on.
Jen and Tom walked hugging each other.
Jen: Promise me you'll never let go!
Tom: NEVER! Can you believe people pay to do this?
Laurie: We're doing this for you, Mother Earth! Don't kill us!
The camera panned to the stairs where the cadets and the Ice dancers were almost side by side.
McArthur: Here we come, cadets for the win.
Jacques: Not by much.
The elevator arrived for the third time, and let the choking teams out.
Don: The last elevator has arrived, but while those teams must take the dreaded walk, the teams that took the stairs are literally jumping ahead.
The Ice dancers jumped off the stairs.
Jacques: first... place.
The intern showed him the track.
Jacques: Take a jump in a hurry, and catch the rink early. huh?
The camera panned to the outside showing a zipline passing over the lake to an airport on an island.
Don: Teams will use this zipline passing over Lake Ontario, and catch their next clue along the way. The zipline was tested this morning by our intern Andrew.
The camera pans over to a hospital showing a man in a full body cast.
Don: Inform the family that we will pay the medical bill.
Jacques and Josee quickly take to the zip line. With the blond holding his partner, so that she can take the track.
Jacques: Go team Canadá.
As the Ice dancers descended, The best friends finished the catwalk.
Devin: Oh man, thank goodness.
The B.F.F.S. also finished crossing, and then the tennis rivals, though Pete out of nowhere fell to the ground, and a crunch was heard.
Pete: oh, my artificial knee just gave out.
-confessional-
Pete: Being in this show was a great idea, we've been through more than any of these kid. So what if they have more energy, more ambition, more blind optimism and... doing this was a terrible idea.
-end of confessional-
The cadets were the next to arrive.
Sanders: Finally.
McArthur dropped her.
McArthur: Okay, now it's your turn, load me up.
Sanders: What?
McArthur: Just kidding, you couldn't carry me a slice of bread.
-confessional-
McArthur: Looks like several teams have to deal with dead weight.
Sanders: Hey. You mean me?
-end of confessional-
Carrie: Zipline? I've always wanted to do that.
Gerry: Zipline? I've never wanted to do that.
Jacques and Josee finally made it to the other side, where there was a huge platform of mattresses for a safe landing. The Ice Dancers bounced off, landed on their feet and waved to the camera.
Josee: Thank you, we love you. Merci.
Don: Who are you talking to? Me and the cameraman are the only ones here.
Ive Dancers: Our fans.
-confessional-
Josee: Our fans give us the energy we need to perform under pressure. Without it my partner Jacques would never have been able to overcome his multiple failures.
Jacques: Umm, why do you say multiple like that?
Josee: you know why.
-end of confessional-
Josee gave the note to his partner.
Jacques: Reserve 2 seats for Morocco.
Don: There are 3 flights to Morocco, and they leave 30 minutes apart. Teams on the first flight have the wide advantage of arriving first. While the teams on the last flight should be wondering why they entered this race in the first place. Because Wow, really.
-confessional-
Noah: Every reality show I've been on, I've lost. This time, it won't be like that. No excuses, no distractions. I've got my eyes on the cheddar.
Owen: And to taste the food.
Noah gave him a disapproving look.
Owen: We'll win. Wujuuu.
-end of confessional-
Best friends and B.F.F.S. took their cues.
Devin: We did it. You're the best.
Carrie giggled nervously as her cheeks reddened, which didn't go unnoticed by the B.F.F.S.
-confessional-
Devin: I had to run the race with Carrie. She's smart, fast and determined.
Carrie blushed a little at the triple compliment.
Devin: And my girlfriend Shelly was busy.
-change-
Katie: oh, did you see how Carrie blushed when Devin called her the best?
Sadie: oh gosh, did you notice it too? They would make a cute couple, don't you think.
-end of confessional-
Gerry and Pete were also going down the zip line, although in their case they could barely keep up with each other.
Gerry: Need a hand?
The white-clad tennis player pushed his partner.
Gerry: Ha, that was for Wimbledon in '77.
Pete: ahhhhhhhhhh.
Fortunately it landed in the water.
Gerry: I got you.
The tennis player took the court, but in doing so let go of the safety handle, and received some instant karma.
Gerry: Damn iiiiiiit.
And he fell into the water like his partner. Meanwhile, the other teams were trying to stay alive, the reality TV pros and opposites going side by side. With Dave hugging Sky.
Sky: No amount of training prepared me for this.
Owen: You guys should put on some pounds.
The wind proved to be very strong and began to sweep Noah away.
Dave: Noah.
The germophobe grabbed his cousin by the arm. Unfortunately, the wind proved its power and began to sweep them both away. Sky quickly grabbed them both by the feet, but this caused her to be dragged as well, and Owen had to hold her down, while he himself held onto the door.
Noah: Dudes, whatever you do. Don't let go.
-confessional-
The TV Pros were wide-eyed, And whit their hair blowed yo one side from the strong wind.
Noah: Maybe doing this reality show wasn't such a good idea.
Owen: Maybe?
-change-
The confessional changed to Opposites in similar conditions.
Dave: I think I saw my whole life flash before my eyes.
Sky: I hear you.
-end of confessional-
Rock: Dude, check this out.
The blond threw a spit into the air, and the wind blew it back into his partner's cheek.
-confessional-
Rock: the wind blew like Woooosh. And the spit hit it like SPLAT. And then came a bird that went Ka-Kaw, Ka-Kaw.
-end of confessional-
The cadets prepared for the zipline.
McArthur: First one to catch the tip gets the top bunk.
Sanders: I already got the top bunk.
McArthur: not by much.
The cadets threw themselves on the rope, while the surfers reached the top.
Brody: Yeah man, we did it. Ahhhhh.
Brody fell to the ground and brought his hands to his legs.
Brody: my calves man, my calves.
Junior and Dawyne were next.
Dwayne: well done son.
And these were followed by Ryan and Sthepanie.
Stephanie: We did it baby.
Ryan: Woah, watch your legs honey.
Ryan carried his girl on his shoulders.
Stephanie: umm, I love it when you act so gentlemanly.
Some of the teams managed to complete the catwalk. Owen slid in while carrying Sky, who in turn was still holding Noah and Dave. Followed by the genies who were stained by... something green.
Ellody: Well that was illuminating.
Mary spatted out a Fly.
-confessional-
Ellody: Based on the splatter, the wind velocity was 45 knots. Twenty more, and we'd be splattered.
-end of confessional-
Carrie and Devin made it to the safe platform.
Best friends: Morocco. Alright.
The cadets also got their clue. Along with several teams completed the walk, as well as the step-siblings completed the stairs.
Rock: yeah, rock and roll.
The surfers, on the other hand, were still behind..
Brody: cramps.
Geoff: Come on man, breathe, let me hear you.
The sisters, vegans, geniuses, father and son, Bloggers, mother and daughter and the lovers completed the zip line. And soon after the opposites and pros as well, With Dave, Noah and Owen falling flat on the mattresses and Sky falling on her feet with the clue.
Don: As more teams complete the zip line and take places on flights 1 and 2, the race to finish last intensifies.
Brains and brawn and the adversity twins made it to the top floor. With Jay dragging his brother.
Jay: Almost there Mickey, stay with me.
Mickey: I'm a pretty princess.
Geoff: oh shoot, come on buddy.
The party guy started to carry his friend.
Brody: potassium, I need potassium.
Geoff: Anybody got a banana?
Meanwhile, the stepbrothers also took their tip, but they were in a similar situation to the tennis players.
Lorenzo: Let me, I caught it, I'll read it.
The stepbrothers hit the edge, and then the surfers fell on top of them.
Geoff: Sorry, thanks for catching us. Morocco, sweet.
The stepbrothers rejoined, only to have the twins fall on them as well.
Mickey: Wow, I can't believe we did that... Oh, sorry guys.
Jay: take the next flight to Morocco. Let's go.
Mickey: Yeah... let's fly.
All the teams, including some Gerry and Pete who were being bitten by piranhas and snapping turtles, ran for the airport.
Don: The teams have arrived and the flights have been booked.
The camera switches to a digital map that focuses on the airport with 3 planes. And which teams were going on each.
Don: Flight number 1 will carry Father and Son, Best Friends, B.F.F.S, Daters, Police Cadets, Ice Dancers, Opposites and Reality TV Pros.
Don: Flight number two will carry the Sisters, Vegans, Masked Mens, Fashion Bloggers, Mother and Daughter, Positivists, Rockers and Geniuses.
Don: And flight number three has the Larpers, Goths, Brains and Brawn, Surfers, Cosplayers, Adversity Twins, Step-Brothers and Tennis Rivals.
Don: Who will win the first leg of our race? Tune in next to find out when our Ridonculous Race. Continues.
-end of episode-
-Bonus scene-
On the first plane, the teams had already settled in for the flight. With Dave and Sky sharing seats.
Sky: Hey.
Dave turned around.
Sky: That was a brave thing you did in the tower.
Dave: It wasn't anything spectacular, it's just, I wasn't going to let anything happen to my family.
Sky looked at him a little surprised, although they had interacted very little, in those few times she had never seen that seriousness coming out of him. Usually it was his... descriptiveness that came out.
Sky: I understand that. I just ask that you don't forget that...
Dave: It's a competition. I know. I won't forget.
Sky decided to leave the conversation there and settled in to get some rest, after all, it was a 10 And a half hour flight.
-End of bonus scene-
And so ends the first chapter, now in the show as such, and with our teams on their way to the first destination.
And this Also Marks My 1st year Aniversary as a fanfic writter. And while i wouldnt Say i have changed a Lot, it's still something, And i hope it's Only the begining.
As I said, this will be written as if it were the normal episode of the show, because of that, Dave and Sky didn't have too much time to shine beyond one or two minor exchanges and the bonus scene, but it's just the beginning and we'll see the evolution of both of them later on.
Also, I want to treat their relationship differently than Emma and Noah, or Carrie and Devin.
As it is obvious, Noah will be part of this, since one of the headcanons I use the most is that they are cousins and here it was not going to be an exception, but don't worry, I don't plan to leave the Nemma behind.
When it came to writing Dave, I tried to retain most of his characteristics, i.e. his germophobia, his pessimism and I also included his disbelief of Leonard and Ella. To bring something more of the Dave we know and... some of us love.
Whereas Sky, at the moment is a bit more towards her competitive side, although not too much. But we already know why. And this will be something relevant to the plot as the story progresses.
Finally, we have the additions of 5 other teams.
Katie and Sadie, because they are RR before it was a concept.
Cameron and Brick, so that the Second cast has reps.
Ella and Sammy, because I want more of them and I have a plot.
and then, my OCs, Lara and Pierce, as well as the dynamic duo of Lucas and Shane. If You have read my Chaotic Camp history, You know the tow always being the fun.
In the next episode, we will visit hot Morocco for a gastronomy test. And we will discover who will be the first team to be eliminated from the Race.
Thanks for your time, And if You can leave a Review whit your opinión i would appreciate it.
