Episode 2- None down, Eighteen to go. Part 2
Don: Last time on The Ridonculous Race...
Don: 24 teams embarked on a race around the world. After a lot of running, waiting, more running, facing their fears and pushing themselves beyond their limits. They all reached the airport and got tickets on three different flights to Morocco. Flight number one with the first 8 teams is already in the air.
The plane with the first 8 teams is shown, Owen was laughing fussy, while Sky, MacArthur and the Ice Dancers had faces of determination.
Don: Flight number two is about to take off, while the Larpers, goths, brains and brawn, surfers, adversity twins, Cosplayers, step-brothers and rival tennis players will have to wait another hour. Will one of these teams suffer the biggest humiliation on a reality show and be the first to be voted off? Time to find out. This is... The Ridonculous Race.
-INTRO-
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.
-END OF INTRO-
Don: 16 teams are already on their way to Morocco. While 8 are anxiously waiting at the airport.
The twins were enjoying the slight peace they had at the moment.
Mickey: Antibacterial gel?
Jay: no thanks. I already found a way not to touch anything -he lifts his hands showing he was wearing gloves- Juice?
At that, the Larpers came out from behind the seats, catching them off guard.
Jay/Mickey: Ah!
Leonard: Greetings, gentlemen! How would you like a union of adversaries, an alliance of wizards and twins to beat them all?
Tammy threw confetti in the air, but it didn't have the desired effect.
Jay: Ah. I'm allergic to confetti.
Mickey: Jay. Your Calamine lotion.
Meanwhile, Chet was using the pay phone.
Chet: Your plan isn't going to work mom! We're not going to be friends because Lorenzo is a dummy. Can't you just divorce his dad?
Lorenzo: Are you talking to my dad?
Chet: No, It's my...
Lorenzo: Dad. You have to divorce Cheeeeeet's mom.
Chef: Get off me.
The two started to fight again.
The Larpers decided to try their luck with another team. The goths.
Leonard: Greetings. We come to propose an unstoppable union of alchemy and alibaster. To defeat those who oppose it. It will surely interest you.
Tammy threw the confetti again. The goths merely retreated without a word or change of expression.
Leonard: Come on Tammy. Don't use it all the time. We only have one bag.
Tammy threw confetti again.
-confessional-
Leonard: Tammy and I met in ninth grade. And we became instant friends.
Tammy: we were locked in the same locker.
Leonard: and our friendship was formed while we shared our sandwiches and waited for the janitor to bring the Bolt cutters.
-end of confessional-
The surfers were talking to Brick and Cameron, while the tennis players were telling each other bad jokes to entertain themselves. Lara and Pierce emerged from the airport restroom, now dressed as Princess Jasmine and Aladdin respectively.
-confessional-
Lara: We know Aladdin was set on India, but we didn't have any other cosplay to fit the desert, so we had to improvise.
-end of confessional-
The screen starts showing pictures of Morocco.
Don: Morocco. Originally called Italy, until it was discovered that there was already an Italy. Home of very spicy food, as well as very hot deserts.
A plane is shown landing at the airport.
Flight number one has just landed. Now the teams must find the Don box and take their next travel clue.
The first 8 teams left and went to the box.
Jacques: The spices are good. It 's an All In.
Dave: And what's an "All In"?
Face shows Don in the desert next to a spice stand.
Don: An "All in" requires both team members to participate in the challenge. In this case, teams must find Yusef's spice kiosk, and choose 5 spices from a wide variety. Some of them are...
The presenter tried to touch one of the baskets, but was slapped by the shop owner.
Don: Ouch. Some are sweet, but some are so spicy they will turn your stomach into a volcano of pain.
Devin: It says we have to choose 5 spices from the kiosk. The ideal choices are Cumin...
Dwayne: Cinnamon...
Sanders: Paprika...
Katie: Saffron...
Dave: and Ginger...
Owen: To receive your next travel clue. Aahhh.
The other teams ran roughshod over the pros.
All: Taxi. taxi.
7 Taxis went out to the front. Owen raised his hand as best he could.
Owen: Taxi.
One last stop and the battered professionals came out behind the others.
Dwayne: You see? In a cab to spice city. We're doing great, son.
Junior: Ugh.
-confessional-
Dwayne: I'm Dwayne. And this is Dwyne Junior.
Junior: You know that.
Dwayne: And we're the Father and Son team.
Junior: They know that too.
Dwayne: They know that too.
Dwayne: Well, we're going to win. Junior: I'm sure they didn't know that. News flash, Father and Son win the million.
-end of confessional-
The camera pans to the daters cab.
Stephanie: I know a lot about spices. I order them all the time in restaurants.
Ryan: You do, and I love that you know about them.
Stephanie: I love that you love that.
The couple started kissing. The next camera was the professionals.
Owen: Even after Total Drama World Tour, I'm still afraid of flying. So, this is Bear-y
The big guy pulls out a teddy bear.
Owen: Understand?.
Noah: Because he's a bear.
Owen: Yeah. It keeps me calm when I fly. Noah doesn't like him, but he likes Noah. "Oh yes i do"
The camera pans to the second plane.
Don: Meanwhile, the teams on flight number two prepare for a tough battle.
The camera pans to Jen looking at a fashion magazine.
Jen: I would look fabulous in that.
A few snores pull her out of focus, and she sees her sleeping partner next to her with a blindfold on. Jen grabs the emergency mask and slips it on. Making the snoring less annoying. The rockers were in another seat, and it was apparent that Rock was a little nervous.
Rock: Spud and I have never been on a plane before. But I'm not scared, I've seen a lot of planes on TV.
Spud took off his headphones.
Spud: oh yeah. I love that cartoon.
The masked men were in another seat sharing some chocolates. While the positivists were not having a good time.
Sammy: It's the first time we've ever been on a plane. And I had no idea the headache would be so bad.
Lucas turned and noticed the state of the girls.
Lucas: Oh shoot, you girls look bad.
Sammy gave him a look that could perfectly translate to "you think so?"
Lucas: Yeah I know, I stated the obvious.
The wrestler pulled two sticks of gum out of his pocket.
Lucas: Here, chew some gum on the next flight and that will help you to feel much less pressure.
Sammy watched him for a moment, but accepted the courtesy and gave one to her partner.
Sammy: Thank you.
Lucas: Youre welcome.
Just as the plane was landing, the first flight crews were already arriving at the stand.
Don: Some of the flight one teams, already reached the kiosk.
The cadets, ice dancers, best friends, M.A.P.S and lovers arrived on the scene.
MacArthur: Hey, they're not labeled. Why aren't they labeled?
Carrie: This is it. This is cinnamon, this is cinnamon. This is cinnamon.
-confesionario-
Devin: Canela, Canela, Canela, CANELA.
Los amigos compartieron una risa.
Carrie: te habrías equivocado socio.
Devin: Nos llamamos socio el uno al otro. Y si se diferenciar la canela.
Carrie: Yo soy la que vive por los cafés con canela.
Devin: Si. Y luego me los derramas encima a mi.
Los mejores amigos volvieron a reír.
Carrie: Está bien. Nunca volveré a dudar de tu habilidad de detectar la canela.
-fin del confesionario-
Sthepanie was also at her task of choosing the cinnamon.
Stephanie: Wait. This is cumin. Yeah. No. Wait. Yes. No... BAG IT.
The B.F.F.S. were trying, too.
Sadie: maybe it's is... no, it is.
Katie: oh my gosh. I hope those are the right ones.
Jacques: and that makes five.
Don: Once their 5 spices are chosen, Yusef will award the teams with the next clue.
Jacques: Ugh, we have to go to a restaurant in the middle of the desert. On a camel.
The camera pans showing lots of camels.
Katie: Do you know where there is a restaurant around here?
Yusef shook his head.
Sadie: Maybe he doesn't speak English?
Sanders: Or maybe he's not allowed to help us with directions.
MacArthur: I can fix that.
Sanders: No. Let's go.
The 5 teams got on the camels and began the ride. Which was not very pleasant because of the heat and the smell of their transports.
Carrie: Ugh, gross. Wow these camels stink.
MacArthur sniffed her armpit.
MacArthur: Uh. She's right...it's the camels.
Don: As the first teams head into the desert, flight number two has just arrived in Morocco.
The camera pans over to the airport where the sisters, Rockers, Bloggers, Masked Men, Postivists, Vegans, Geniuses and Mother and daughter arrived, took their traveling tip and got in a cab.
Taylor: Taxi. Let's go mom.
Don: Meanwhile, flight number three is finally in the air, and the teams discuss their strategies.
The camera focuses on the surfers, with Brody holding a bag of mini-pretzels.
Geoff: If you try it with a higher arc you're the boss.
Brody: I won't let you down bro.
Brody grabbed one of the pretzels and tossed it backwards, landing in the mouth of a sleeping Gerry.
Geoff: touchdown.
Back at the kiosk, The pros are picking out the spices, as father and son watched them.
Owen: ummm.
-confessional-
Owen: Choosing the spices was not easy. But don't panic.
-end of confessional-
Owen: Why do they all look the same? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
-confessional-
Dwayne: I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm not exactly good with spices...or food in general. There's a reason I never make the meatloaf after the first time. It came out bad.
Junior: Believe him. It came out really bad.
-end of confessional-
Junior: Oh no, the other teams are coming. We're going to lose the lead.
Dwayne: oh, let's just pick 5 at random.
Noah: Good idea. Just give me the 5 closest to you.
The merchant looked at him confused.
Noah: come on dude. My buddy will eat anything, I once saw him swallow half a shower curtain.
Owen: it just had little drawings of cakes on it.
Yusef handed them the bags with the clues, as Dave and Sky finally stood in front of the stand.
Sky: Ok, first the Cumin. Amm... it's...
Dave: Give me that one, that one, that one, that one, and that one.
The merchant heeded and bestowed the sack with the clue.
Dave: shukran.
Yusef: Eafwan.
Sky looked at him in surprise.
-Confessional-
Sky: You know how to speak Moroccan?
Dave: Arabic. And yes, a little bit. It's one of the two most common languages in Morocco, although they also understand French well.
Sky: What about spices?
Dave: My dad co-owns an Indian restaurant. I learned everything from a young age.
Sky: maybe you do have tricks up your sleeve.
Dave: Are you supposed to be complimenting me or insulting me?
-end of confessional-
More cabs arrived at the site.
Ellody: We predicted that there would be a food test in the next challenge. So, choosing the right spices is of utmost importance.
Laurie and Ellody: Cumin, Cinnamon, Saffron, Paprika and Ginger.
Ellody: That was surprisingly obvious.
Laurie: I know, right.
The merchant awarded them the bags, as the other 6 teams arrived at the site.
Don: As more teams arrive at the Spice Kiosk, flight number three finally lands in Morocco. But they will have to hurry if they want to catch up with the teams going in search of the kitchen.
The camera showed the 5 teams ahead, then focused on the sun, and panned down to show the other 3. With Owen leaning back on his camel, while Dave literally rode on Sky's shoulders to avoid touching the camel.
Sky: Do you see anything?
Dave: Nothing yet. You know, you have pretty good shoulder strength.
Sky: It's just the reward of training.
Owen: This would be the best time for Izzy to be here.
Noah: I have to admit. We could really use your nutsy girlfriend help.
-confessional-
Owen: After I was eliminated from all-stars, I realized how much I missed Izzy, so we decided to give our relationship a second chance.
Noah: Depends on how you look at it, You two never broke up. Remember, she was Brainzilla when she dumped you.
-end of confessional-
Dwayne: Come on come on, rejoice boy.
Junior; Uh, Dad. I think the camel is going to pass out.
Dwayne: Don't worry son. Camels are the ships of the desert, they are tireless.
Just then, his camel laid down on the ground exhausted.
Dwayne: Oh great. They gave us a broken one.
The sisters were choosing their spices.
Emma: Last one. Cumin, cumin...umm.
Kitty: I think this is it.
Emma: No time to guess... it is.
Yusef gave them the clue.
Kitty: So you can guess and I can't?
Emma: Mine is an informed choice. Could you not throw a tantrum now?
The adversity twins arrived on the scene.
Jay: Is this cinnamon?
The twin in the blue sweater reached over and sniffed one of the spices. Which caused me to sneeze and kick up a heavy dusting of said spice.
-confessional-
Mickey: Apparently we can't smell cinnamon.
-end of confessional-
Don: The last teams arrived at the kiosk to choose spices.
Leonard: Greetings. Do you accept dragon coins?
Don: But they still have a long way to go.
The camera cuts to the vegans walking alongside their camel.
-confessional-
Laurie: Our Banafrid camel was beautiful. And the deserts are really hot. If we win the million, we'll start the "camels are not vehicles" campaign.
Miles: "Use your feet, not their humps."
Laurie: or... we could call it something else.
-end of confessional-
The Larpers finally received their spices and went to look for the camels.
Leonard: we're in last place, but that's no cause for concern.
Tammy: we were delayed by a very grumpy cab driver.
Leonard: The fool wouldn't accept my dragon coins as payment.
Tammy: He'll be sorry when our dragon lord Armethius takes the throne.
Leonard: Oh, he'll be sorry.
The camera cuts to an open mini-restaurant, where several cooks were lighting the flames for their pots.
Don: Things start to heat up as the cadets are the first to arrive at the restaurant.
Sanders: There's the box Don.
MacArthur fell backwards.
MacArthur: Uh. I can't stand this heat. Somebody turn off the sun.
Sanders took the hint.
Sanders: It's a "botch or watch." Just stew it.
MacArthur: So only one of us has to do it, right?
Sanders: Give your spices to a chef, so he can add them to a Moroccan stew which one of you must eat.
Sanders handed the bag to one of the cooks who began mixing.
MacArthur: Oh. I hope we picked the right spices or this will get ugly fast.
Sanders: once you've finished your bowl of stew, run to the finish line because...
The camera cuts to a round red carpet. Where Don waited calmly under an umbrella.
Don: The last team to get here will be eliminated from the competition.
The cook handed them the plate.
MacArthur: I can't do this. I'm sweating like a criminal being interrogated inside a hot dog cart.
Sanders: Okay. Ew.
The other teams that had left earlier arrived and gave their meals to the chefs. Josee pulled out a white rabbit's foot.
Josee: Come on bun-bun. Don't abandon us.
-confessional-
Josee: I'm not superstitious at all. I just believe that this rabbit's foot is responsible for everything good in my life.
Jacques: Can I touch it?
Josee: Of course not.
-End of confessional
Dwayne was trying to lift the camel. And the nerds passed them.
Leonard: Not to be rude. But it's easier if you ride the camel.
Dwayne: Well, thank you for your help.
Tammy: No problem.
The vegans were still on foot and were also passed by the role players.
Leonard: Greetings ladies.
Miles: Use your feet. Not their humps.
Laurie: Okay, that slogan is starting to catch me.
-confessional-
Laurie: Miles and I became friends when we met at an anti-meat meeting.
Miles: When Laurie suggested using the term "ins" instead of "Meet-ing" I knew we would be good friends.
-end of confessional-
Don: As the Larpers pull away from last place, the race for first place heats up as more teams join the restaurant challenge.
The camera focuses on Carrie, who was watching from afar as Devin took the stew. Until the blonde remembered the cameras.
Carrie: oh Devin. Uh... that, that was... I just... Ok. I love him. I've loved him since he was four and peed in my turtle pool. I mean, that's not why I love him, it's just when it started. But, how do I tell him after all this time. what if he doesn't feel the same way? Plus he already has a girlfriend. Shelly... Who will be watching this right now What am I doing?
Devin: I'm done. Wohoo.
Carrie: Yeah.
Devin: Come on. We can win.
The lovers arrived at the restaurant.
Stephanie: Let's go.
The other teams started to arrive.
Rock: Rock and roll.
The tennis rivals were launched by their camel. Sanders took her stew in small sips and wiped her mouth each time. Which irritated her partner.
MacArthur: Stop wiping and start swallowing.
Sanders: This is how civilized people eat.
MacArthur: This isn't a tea party, it's a race for a million. Swallow.
MacArthur tilted the plate forcing her to swallow the content.
MacArthur: Stop, I say, Done. Woohoo. Oh, let me clean that up for you princess.
MacArthur took the napkin from her and wiped her face. Until a feast caught both of their attention and they saw Josee taking the stew while holding herself in a ballet pose.
Jacques: a magnificent display of grace and efficiency.
MacArthur: Oh oh, move.
Dave and Sky received their stew, which fortunately didn't seem to have anything strange in it.
Dave: Are you sure you don't want me to eat it? I mean, I'm the one who has experience with the food around here.
Sky: You chose the spices. So as your partner I have to trust your knowledge.
Dave smiled, they were collaborating as a true team. Sky took a breath of air and began to consume the stew all at once. In a few seconds she finished it.
Sky: Yes.
Dave: Well done Sky.
Sky: Come on, we can still catch up.
Up ahead, Carrie and Devin increasingly resented the effects of the sun. Until Carrie stumbled over a rock. Devin reached out to help her, as the sun's glare made him glow.
Devin: Are you okay, partner?
Carrie's eyes sparkled. Devin carried her in his arms and ran again.
Carrie: Woah. Easy Romeo.
-confessional-
Devin: You know, it would be weird for most teams to be that close. But Carrie and I? We're such good friends that it's like. Pfff, it's normal.
Carrie: Oh yeah. Totally... normal.
-end of confessional-
Several teams were already consuming their stews, some better than others, either because of their taste tolerance, or because of the spices.
Sthepanie: Come on baby. Show that stew you're the man.
Sadie was red in the face, though she didn't seem to be resenting the effect as much.
Sadie: Oh geez, I think we picked one of the spices wrong.
Katie: oh geez. Good thing it was only a spicy one, or this would be impossible.
Mary and Brody were also sipping their stew while their companions watched.
Geoff: When I first met Brody, I was eating a cat hairball on a dare at my friend Jude's party. It was awesome.
Ellody: I met Mary at a shared engineering student dinner. Amaba we brought pie graph Pie. We are very whimsical.
Geoff: ha ha. Pie.
Lucas and Sammy were the ones taking the challenge for their respective teams. And they were both having a little bit of difficulty.
Ella: oh my, that doesn't look good.
Shane: I know. With how much he loves Mexican food, I was hoping Lucas could finish it right away.
Lucas: I love spicy food...but this is too strong. And the mask doesn't help.
Surprisingly, Owen wasn't having the best time, as his face was red and he was sweating more than usual.
Owen: Hot... you picked the wrong spices.
Noah: oh come on dude. I've seen you eat. You're as picky as a raccoon. Besides, did you forget your nose milkshake with peppers already? It can't get any worse than that.
The cadets were further ahead, but Sanders was holding her stomach.
Sanders: I have stew pains. Oh, it hurts.
MacArthur: I never left a soldier behind.
MacArthur shouldered her partner and started running.
Sanders: Ow. Careful, it still hurts.
MacArthur: It's not my fault you don't have meat on your bones.
The B.F.F.S and the goths finished their plates and began to move forward. While the other teams were still trying to consume.
Kitty: Come on Emma, you can do it.
-confessional-
Emma: We picked some of the wrong spices.
Kitty: umm. You were the one who picked all the spices.
Emma narrowed her eyes.
Kitty: Which is good because I was just going to guess. Heh heh.
-end of confessional-
Jen: Woah, easy Tom. You don't want to get your shirt dirty.
Tom: Oh, you're absolutely right, can you imagine?
Brick managed to finish the stew for his team and they went out after the others, while Chet was the one slurping up the stew for the stepbrothers.
Lorenzo: I hate the way you eat.
Chet spit some of the stew at him.
Lorenzo: Concentrate on the challenge you oaf. I hate the way you slurp too.
Carrie and Devin were still looking for the goal.
Devin: Can you see the rest area, partner?
Carrie: No. But I think we. We lost.
Devin made a bit of an effort and they climbed up a dune.
Carrie: Over there.
The two saw the rest area, and went towards it.
Don: Welcome to the rest area. You are the first team to arrive. Congratulations.
The best friends celebrated.
Devin: We did it, we did it. Oh man. I wish I could call Shelly.
The Black-haired guy walked out, leaving Carrie alone.
Carrie: Yeah… Shelly.
-confessional-
Devin: Coming in first was a bit of a shock. I mean, I knew we'd be a great team but...
Carrie: First place? Wow.
-end of confessional-
Owen finally finished the stew.
Owen: To… Hot... I need... I need water.
The big guy saw how a camel was drooling and without measuring himself he jumped in to drink that. Which was caught by the stepbrothers making Chet's cheeks puffed out.
Lorenzo: Don't even think about spitting it out Chet. Or we'll lose.
-confessional-
Lorenzo: My dad is a motivational speaker, and he has taught me everything there is to know.
-end of confessional-
Lorenzo: Swallow. Do it.
The other stepbrother made the effort and swallowed the contents again.
Chet: My puke was less spicy than the stew.
Most of the teams had to make an effort to avoid puking. As the vegans and larpers finally arrived.
Leonard: We have to eat our own vomit?
The vegans' camel ended up puking on Miles' head.
Laurie: Organic Camel munch.
While the others were trying not to regurgitate, MacArthur was still carrying Sanders.
Sanders: Oh, it hurts so bad.
The skaters began to catch up as they ran with smiles on their faces. Jacques was carrying Josee in one hand.
MacArthur: Okay that's kind of weird.
The ice dancers passed them, but their advance was stopped by a tree.
MacArthur: Heh, they went off the track. Did you see what I did?
Sanders: Yeah.
MacArthur: Because they're skaters.
Sanders: Yeah, I got it.
Brody: Done.
Ryan: Done.
Sammy: I'm done.
Lucas: Tanque Lleno
The 4 teams and also the tennis players took off towards the finish line.
Sanders: Let-me-down.
MacArthur: No time.
The Ice dancers and the cadets ran head to head. They both jumped and... MacArthur hit the mat first.
Don: Did someone call the police?
The announcer laughed.
Don: So funny. Second place, not bad.
MacArthur: Yeah.
Sanders clutched her stomach again and they both walked away. As Don turned to look at the skaters.
Don: And as Canadian ice skaters you must have heard this a lot. Third place.
Josee smiled, but you could totally see she had a twitch in her eye.
-confessional-
Jacques covered himself as Josee could be heard screaming and breaking things off camera.
-end of confessional-
The opposites were the next to reach the finish line.
Don: Sky and Dave. Fourth place.
Dave: Yes.
Dave got caught up in the energy and hugged Sky. The girl was a little surprised by the enthusiasm but returned the gesture and celebrated with him...until she released a VERY loud burp and covered her mouth as her partner and the host looked on surprised.
Sky (red in embarrassment): I'm sorry. That stew was strong.
Don: Fifth (Gothics).
Don: Sixth (B.F.F.S.)
Don: Seventh (Brains and Brawn)
Don: Eighth (Tennis Rivals)
Don: Ninth (Daters)
Don: Ten (Surfers)
Don: Eleven (Geniuses)

Don: 17 (Fashion Bloggers)
Don: And 18 (Sisters)
Emma: 18? Ugh. You have to try harder.
Kitty: And I want to try harder. I want to do more.
Emma: I'll tell you when to do more. I'll tell you.
Father and son finally reached the restaurant.
Junior: Dad quick, you have to eat the stew.
Dwayne: In... in a second son.
Taylor picked up the plate, while Kelly held her stomach.
Taylor: My mom finished.
Kelly: Oh, not so fast.
Lorenzo: We're done.
Chet: I don't feel so good.
Lorenzo: That's because you ate puke. Puke eater.
Chet: And you're such a... Dumbass.
The camera focuses on Junior as Dwayne is seen recovering next to the camel.
Junior: I didn't sign up for this, and I honestly don't want to be here. But now that I am. I don't want us to be the first ones eliminated.
Junior: Come on dad, it's like you say, Never say stop.
Dwayne: Actually it is, never say never.
Junior: I really hadn't been paying attention. Just stand up and eat.
The adversity twins reached the finish line.
Don: Nineteenth.
Mickey/Jay: Wohoo.
Don: 20th (Mother and daughter)
Don: 21st (Step Brothers)
Don: that just leaves the Vegans, Larpers and Father and son. One of these teams will be going home tonight.
Dwayne: I hope we had the right spices.
The cook gave them the stew, a fly tried to land on it, but this just burned it instantly. It was not a good sign.
Junior: Dad, we're in last place, you have to hurry.
Tammy: Level completed.
Leonard: On to victory.
-confessional-
Dwayne: And what are some spices? Yeah, let's do it. Haha, I sound like a kid when I say that.
Junior: The truth. You don't.
-end of confessional-
Dwayne put on a determined look and began to take the stew all at once.
Junior: Great.
Miles: We're done.
The vegans started running, Dwayne finished the stew seconds later.
Junior: Yeah.
Out of nowhere the adult's eyes went cross-eyed.
Dwayne: Oh no, I can't see anything. It's temporary blindness.
Junior: Come on, I'll lead the way.
Miles: Yeah, we'll catch up.
-confessional-
Laurie: The race is just beginning and it would be a shame to be the first to be eliminated.
Laurie: But I gave Banafrid our dealer my email address. To keep in touch.
The confessional changes to the Larpers.
Tammy: They were catching us up and fast.
Leonard: We had no choice. To maintain our position, we had to use... Magic.
-end of confessional-
Tammy: Sleep song.
The Viking began to play her ocarina, while her partner pulled out a staff.
Leonard: Chaos barrier.
Lightning flashed across the sky. But only for a few seconds, and the other teams moved on to the role players.
Leonard: I think something's wrong with my staff.
Tammy: Run.
The three teams kept running until they saw the rest area.
Don: Congratulations vegans, you're number 22.
-confessional-
Laurie: We stuck to our principles and we're still in the race. I guess the good ones finish near the bottom.
-end of confessional-
Don: And here comes number 23.
Junior stopped, but Dwayne kept going.
Junior: Dad stop you're going to crash into...
Don: You hear a thump.
Junior: A tree.
Don: Don't worry, we're obligated to provide medical service.
-confessional-
Dwayne: Thirty-third place? That was too close, we have to do better. I know, we're going to be up all night discussing strategy.
Junior sighed
Junior: Great.
-end of confessional-
The nerds finally made it to the finish line.
Don: The Ridonculous Race is about skill, it's about determination. Not about magic. They're out.
Tammy: Time spin spell.
The Viking threw confetti in the air.
Don: Security.
Footage of the short instance of the Larpers in the show.
Tammy: Well, we could have done better.
Leonard: I did a lot of things I've never tried before, so, that's something.
Tammy: Yeah, I'm glad we did it together, now we can share these memories. Forever.
The camera shows the team walking in the desert.
Leonard: I still don't understand why we have to walk home.
A camel fumes and the screen goes black.
-BONUS SCENE-
Don: All right teams, each rest area will have a hotel nearby, that way you can rest between stages. Everyone has assigned rooms. As only warning. Any harassment of either a teammate or a member of another team will be punishable by immediate expulsion and the authorities will be called. Is that clear?
Everyone nodded.
Don: Good, you can enjoy your stay, but I would try to gain some sleep later, the next phase will start at the same time the previous phase started.
The teams split up, Dave and Sky decided to sit down for a moment to relax.
Sky: Well, it wasn't too bad for the first day.
Dave: Sorry if I caught you by surprise with the hug.
Sky: No problem. You know, we're a better team than I expected.
Dave: Yeah well, since we're here, let's give it a shot. What do you think our next destination will be?
Sky: Who knows? That's what makes this trip exciting. Let's get some rest, tomorrow will be another adventure.
The two went to their designated room and went to bed. Dave stared at his companion for a few minutes, and finally closed his eyes to rest. It was only the first day and they had a long way to go.

And so ends the first destination of the trip. Scorching hot Morocco.
I guess the Larpers being the first elimination is no surprise. My choices were them, the vegans or the B.F.F.S. but I decided I would be merciful to the vegans when the time comes and I want to try to give the B.F.F.S. some camera time while the other duos either added or have plots, it didn't feel fair to cut them down just to give 2 or 3 more chapters to the role players.
No major modifications beyond tweaking some interactions like Father and Son, or adding some nods to the seasons and other things with the pros.
And yes, Ozzy is still alive in this timeline. Technically they never broke up as such per what was said, Izzy cut him off when she was Brainzilla.
As for the new teams, we have Katie and Sadie collaborating a bit better, little exchanges between the Masked and Positivists, as well as Sky and Dave working up a bit better in this episode, with the germaphobe being the picker and the athlete being the eater. As for the cosplayers and brains and brawn duos, unfortunately this wasn't their episode, but I promise I'll give each their moment.
In the next episode, our teams Will take a trip to the city of love, where they Will test their artística skills, their immune system And their smell.
