Episode 4- Mediterranean Homesick Blues
Don: Last time on The Ridonculous Race.
Don: Our teams traveled to Paris. Where their wills were tested, their artistic skills demanded, their bravery challenged, and Owen ate more cheese than is scientifically possible.
Don: In the end the police cadets took first place. But for rival tennis players Gerry and Pete, it was game, set, and somebody get them out of the match because damn, wooo, they suck.
Don: Who's going to suck today? They all have potential, stay tuned, this is… the Ridonculous Race.
-Intro-
Don: Yesterday's rest area was the Louvre. And that's today's starting line. The teams will start in the order they finished. Which means that the Cadets are...
While Don was talking, the Ice Dancers were walking toward the box.
Don: Woah, Woah, Woah. Yesterday's winners go first super skaters.
The cadets walked up behind them.
McArthur: Yeah. Relaxi silver boys.
Sanders: Wait your turn.
-confessional-
McArthur: I've got my eye on those skaters, with any excuse they'll want to win the race.
-End of confessional-
Sanders: Take the train to Calanque de Maubois on the Mediterranean coast and look for your next clue at the train station. Let's go.
Don: The Teams need to take the train south to Calanque de Maubois.
As Don explained, a map was shown with a line going from Paris to Calanque de Maubois, followed by some pictures of the area.
Don: Calanque de Maubois, it's on the Mediterranean coast in the south of France. And it has sand so fine, you'll want to fit it in your swimsuit. The red cliffs are one of the places that make this a popular tourist destination.
The camera pans to a beach, where Don was now enjoying the site while wearing a red Speedo.
Don: Did I mention that the beaches are amazing?
A crab took advantage of the host being distracted and stretched the garment, then released it, giving him a whip and causing the red-haired man to let out a whimper.
The Ice Dancers and Surfers took their notes and set off for the station. Devin pressed the button, but a mime took the note before him and ran off.
Devin: Hey, give that back.
Junior stopped behind Carrie, and when he saw her his eyes lit up.
Junior: he-hello.
He clears his throat and tries to imitate a cool voice.
Junior: Hi. I'm Dwayne.
Carrie: Hi. I'm Carrie.
The blonde reached out her hand for a handshake, but before Junior could reciprocate the action, his dad stepped in, inadvertently ruining the "moment."
Dwayne: Nice to meet you, Dwayne Sr. I see you've already met Junior. This boy, he's a very good little boy.
Junior: Dad.
Dwayne: I mean, he misbehaves sometimes. But that's part of puberty.
Junior: Dad.
Devin's back.
Devin: I got the clue.
Carrie: Oh, all right. Good luck.
The best friends walked away, Dwayne waved, but Junior grunted at the interference.
-confessional-
Junior: Dad always finds a way to embarrass me.
Dwayne: Oh don't say that son, you're just overreacting. Oh before I forget, I washed your lucky underpants.
Junior: DAD.
-end of confessional-
The cadets were trying to get a ride.
Sanders: Taxi. Taxi. Taxi. Taxi. There's a lot of cabs. Why don't they stop?
MacArthur: No prob, I'll got this.
MacArthur jumped into the street and pulled out her badge.
MacArthur: HALT.
Sanders closed her eyes as many crashes can be heard, the camera pans showing that several cars crashed as they slammed on their brakes. Fortunately no one seemed hurt. The cadet climbed into the glass of a cab that was relatively okay despite the crash.
MacArthur: Police. We need your vehicle. Maggot.
The brown-haired woman gave a thumbs up. Sanders just shook his head.
-confessional-
Sanders: I'm a little concerned. MacArthur can get a little... aggressive.
MacArthur: What, I dare you to say that again. Nah, i'm just kidding.
-end of confessional-
Meanwhile, the Skaters arrived at the entrance to the subway.
Jacques: the subway is the fastest way to the train station.
The two went down the stairs, followed by the surfers.
-confessional-
Brody: Our strategy is very simple. Instead of guessing how to get to a place, we follow someone who is smarter than us. And almost everyone is so. Boom.
The surfers bumped fists.
Surfers: Wicked.
-end of confessional-
Mary took the lead for her team and ran off, leaving room for the Sisters and Brains and Brawn.
Kitty: All right teammate. Let's have some fun.
Emma: no. No fun, let's go get first for once. Train station, follow me.
Kitty: wujuuu, fun.
Emma (off screen): stop it.
In the streets, a mime was imitating the act of walking against the wind, until a cab sped by and legitimately knocked him down. In that cab were the cadets. With MacArthur driving.
MacArthur: I need directions Sanders.
Sanders: there's no map in the glove box.
The brown-haired woman smiled.
MacArthur: Time for bad cop.
The cadet slowed down and turned to the cab owner, who was riding in the back seat.
MacArthur: Train station. Directions. Speak.
Meanwhile, Dwayne and Junior were running through the streets in search of transportation. With the adult clearly tires.
Dwayne: way to go, son, I wasn't sure, you could keep up, with yours trully.
Junior, still angry about what happened earlier overtook him, while Dwayne leaned against a wall to catch his breath.
Dwayne: hey, it's okay, just, wait for me, just a minute.
Sanders leaned out the window and spotted his destination.
Sanders: there's the station.
MacArthur: I saw this in a movie. Hold on.
The cadet turned the steering wheel, and the cab slid like a spinning top until it was parked in front of the station curb. The brown-haired woman got out with a ticket book.
MacArthur: And this is for parking in a fire zone.
-confessional-
Sanders: Can you give a ticket outside your jurisdiction?
MacArthur pulled out another ticket and handed it to her partner.
Sanders: What is this? Excessive complaining? That's not even an actual offense.
-End of confessional-
The camera returned to the Louvre, where the pros finally took their cues.
Don: While Owen and Noah are the last to leave the starting line.
The camera cuts to the station.
Don: The first 6 teams are about to leave the station.
The Ice Dancers, Cadets, Surfers, Best Friends, Cosplayers and father and son were running on the platform.
Junior: common dad.
The 6 teams boarded the train and it departed, while the camera passed the streets of Paris, with other cabs heading towards the station.
Don: the rest of the teams run to catch the next train south.
The camera passed the cab of the bloggers who were taking care of their appearance.
Jen: The south of France is where the glamorous people of the world hang out, it's like Paris with glossier lipstick.
Tom gasped worriedly and started going through his things.
Tom: Please, please tell me what I brought it. Oh here it is.
The redhead held up a spray can with a sun.
Tom: Spray tan?
Jen: You Even have to ask?
While the bloggers were "tanning", letting a mist of the product out the car window. The geniuses were in another cab.
Mary: Take Lebron to Canal.
Ellody: Canal to Hermain.
Mary: Hermaint to Belmont.
Ellody: Turn left on LeGran.
Mary: reverse to Ferrot.
Geniuses: and U-turn on Legrand South to Dunquen.
(Before you tell me anything, I didn't find a transcript of the scene -rip transcript wikia- so I tried to decipher the streets from the audios)
-confessional-
Ellody: We weren't exactly "popular" in high school. But memorizing the streets of every urban center mapa was much more entertaining than going to partys.
Mary: or dates, or being cheerleaders or taking non-science selective classes.
Ellody: And those choices are paying off, we can out-think every other team.
Mary: Boom.
-end of confessional-
At the station, Lorenzo waited for the train, while Chet arrived tired. Lorenzo stuck his tongue out at his exhausted brother.
-confessional-
Lorenzo: I took the subway, he ran looking for a Taxi.
Chet: Can you tell Lorenzo that the time he didn't spend with me was the best part of the trip so far.
Lorenzo: Oh yeah? Please someone tell Chet, that before he came into my life, it was the best time of my life so far.
The step-brothers went back to fighting.
-end of confessional-
Meanwhile, the sisters were riding in a cab.
Kitty: Hey, would you mind taking a picture of me and my sister.
Emma: This is a career Kit, not a vacation.
The sister with pigtails wrapped her sister up for a selfie.
Kitty: Just one picture of me and my big sis in French. Parissss.
Kitty took the photo. Back at the station, the Step-Brothers continued their feud, being watched by the goths, the B.F.F.S, Brick and Cameron. The Daters were in another of their make-out sessions, while the geniuses watched some orange skinned Tom and Jen.
Mary: Based on your skin pigmentation, You two have received too much Digidrohaxirone (again, the audio).
Don: While group number 2 is waiting at the train station, group number 1 has just arrived at the beach.
And indeed, the first 6 teams got off the train, with Lara and Pierce having changed their costumes once again, they were now Nami and Luffy from One Piece.
Dwayne: there's the box Don.
The teams took the clues.
Lara: It's a Botch or Watch.
Dwayne: Whose turn is it?
Junior: Yours, what's the challenge?
Brody: Who wants to swim with... SHARKS?
- commercial break-
The camera returns and shows Don on a canoe in the ocean.
Don: In this Botch or Watch challenge, whoever didn't draw the caricature in Paris must swim to this part of the Mediterranean Sea, and retrieve the travek tip, from the dorsal fin from a great white shark.
One of the sharks jumped out to give him a scare.
Don: Ahhhhh.
And then he went back into the water.
Don: Hey. Try it again and you'll get a taste of this. Wanna dance with the widowmaker?
The shark gave him another scare.
Sanders (starts normal, ends worried): Note. Eaten teammates will result in immediate disqualification. Wow, they really thought of everything.
The 6 teams approached the beach.
Devin: I'll be right back homie... I hope.
Lara: Teach them a lesson Luffy.
Pierce: Those Arlong minions won't know what hit them.
Geoff: Crush'it, bro.
Brody: Consider it crushed.
-confessional-
Brody: Botch or Watch challanges are the worst. I'm afraid of screwing up and turfing our chances. But this one is perfect for me, I was captain of the swim team all six years of high school. Easy peasy.
Geoff: Yeah bro, Sharks, smarks.
Brody looked at the camera worried.
-End of confessional-
MacArthur: Swimming with sharks? Did I dodge a bullet or what?
Sanders: I'm still here.
MacArthur: I'm sorry. But I guess you wouldn't blame me if it was the other way around.
Sanders: No. I guess I wouldn't.
MacArthur: Great, now go show those oversize fishes who's boss.
Devin, Pierce, Josee and Dwayne approach the sharks, with the adult having the most trouble.
-confessional-
Dwayne: Who knew swimming with sharks would be more complicated than sitting in the office all day? Who would know?
-end of confessional-
Josee jumped over a shark doing a somersault and took the travel tip, always smiling.
Devin: Wow, nice move.
The black-haired man approached a shark, but before he could do anything, Brody jumped on top of the mammal. The shark was constantly dunking him and floating him out of the water.
Brody: Sorry dude. Have to. Gran the shark. By the horns. Gotta go.
Don: As the first teams fight to be at the top of the food chain. The second train has finally arrived.
Mary: Weren't there 6 teams on board?
Ellody: There's the box Don. Hurry.
Meanwhile, Devin managed to pick up the tip of one of the sharks underwater. But it turned and started chasing him, making him drop the lead, which floated out right in front of Dwayne, who grabbed it and started heading back to shore.
-confessional-
Junior: I'm actually proud of my dad. It takes courage to swim right into a shark.
Dwayne: Oh Junior, this isn't your dad's first shark rodeo. No, in any case those sharks should be afraid of the Dwayne-man.
The adult started throwing punches and ended up hitting the camera.
Dwayne: UPS... sorry about that. Are you okay?
-end of confessional-
Chet: You drew a caricature. I swallowed my own barda and now swim with sharks. This is so unfair.
Lorenzo: Only if you are you.
The daters broke one of their kisses.
Sthepanie: Baby, if one of those sharks eats you. I'll eat that shark, so we'll be together forever.
And they kissed again, Brick and Cameron watched them.
Brick: They remind me a little bit of you and Scarlett.
The bubble boy blushed a little.
Cameron: I admit that sometimes we get carried away in our affectionate displays.
Brick: Only sometimes?
At that instant a boat stopped at sea, and the camera zoomed in, revealing that Tom and Jen were on board.
Tom: Hi everyone, hope you didn't miss us.
-confessional-
Jen: We got off the train at Ganes.
Tom: Just to have a look around.
Jen: And right there on the platform.
Tom: The Prince of Monaco.
Jen: He asked us where we were going.
Tom: one thing led to another.
Jen: Yacht rude.
Tom: With a prince.
-End of confessional-
Jen: Thank you for the ride, your highness.
A shark jumped in front of them, causing Tom to jump into his companion's arms screaming. Meanwhile, Josee was swimming with the note while Devin was still running away from a shark.
Jacques: She is beauty, grace and strengh. Every move like a swan that makes other swans feel ugly. Ouch.
The skater turned and saw that there was a Swan looking at him in a bad way. While Dwayne was trying to read his note, trying to stay afloat.
Dwayne: Go get a bucket... We have to build a... castle.
The camera pans to Don on another part of the beach.
Don: Dwayne may be drowning but he's right. For this All in challenge, teams must build a sand replica of the palace of Versailles.
The host walks over to a blond boy.
Don: When loval sandcastle prodigy Sandy McCastle. Name that's probably fake. Considers it's good enough, it will grant them their next travel tip.
Sanders managed to arrive at the beach with the travel tip.
MacArthur: It's about time, my grandmother can swim faster than you.
Tom and Chet were running away from some Sharks, Ryan was straight up fighting another and Devin emerged from the water with the clue in his hand.
Devin: Wujuuu, Bringing it back alive.
A shark lifted him up.
Devin: That bites.
Two other sharks swam in circles, Mary peeked in between the two. The mammals prepared to attack her, but stopped and out of nowhere escaped dropping their leads. Mary picked one up and held up her other hand, revealing that it had a magnet.
-confessional-
Mary: No, sharks are not afraid of me. But they are afraid of magnets.
Ellody: Technically it's not fear.
Mary: Of course not, I was kidding. Charged metals in salt water generate a weak electric field that interferes with a shark's receiving sense.
Ellody: We should explain, salt water is an ionic solution, it contains particles with unpaired electrons.
Mary: I think we need a dry erase board.
Don: Speaking of dry. We can show something more interesting.
-End of confessional-
The camera returned to the sea, where Devin was running. Or rather, swimming for his life.
Don: thank you.
The third train arrived at the station, leaving the last 10 teams.
Don: the third train has arrived.
The best friends and genies joined the teams on the beach. And then Geoff was seen watching the sea.
Don: and as more teams begin the second challenge, the Surfers are still trying to complete the first.
Geoff: I don't see him anywhere.
Brody was still swimming away from a shark.
Brody: ah, shark dude, could you at least chase to the shore?
Emma got a lucky break and managed to take her lead without disturbing the shark.
-confessional-
Emma: I was a little scared, but I couldn't let Kitty do it. If something were to happen to her.
Kitty: Awww.
Emma: Hey, I'm strict, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you go right into some deadly jaws.
-end of confessional-
The teams that had just arrived got ready.
Lucas: Swimming with sharks? Time to bring out my inner Brock Lesnar and F-5 him.
Shane: Just don't try it for real.
Lucas: You think I'm capable?
Shane folded his arms, causing the wrestler to smile nervously before jumping into the water.
Katie: Be careful Sadie.
Sadie: I will.
The clear-skinned girl dove in, while her friend held her hands to her heart.
Katie(whispering): Be very careful.
Rock started walking towards the water nervously.
-confessional-
Rock: I guess I'd do anything to win. I need the money, for my parents. They're not getting any younger, and they really want me out of their basement. If I win, I'll can build my own basement.
-end of confessional-
A shark approached some bubbles and prepared to attack. Crimson poked her head up to eye level, the shark dropped its intimidating side, and gave her the hint before swimming away. The goth simply took it and went back underwater.
Sky was preparing to dive.
Dave: Sky.
The gymnast turned to see him with the water around her knees.
Dave: ...be careful, ok.
The cree girl smiled and gave a thumbs up, before jumping and swimming.
The camera panned to the section of the beach where the teams were working on their castles. Sthepanie and Ryan were doing it like a movie couple, with the girl lying next to her boy, who was sitting cross-legged. The stepbrothers were throwing sand at each other, Dwayne was digging sand like crazy from a mound, Junior grinned.
-confessional-
Junior: I was worried about dad at first but, I see he's really ready.
Dwayne: Building it's what men where bien yo do.
-end of confessional-
Sanders: Are you sure this has to be big?
MacArthur: Do you want to risk losing? We do it big or go home.
The sisters heard them.
Emma: you heard her, go big or go home.
Kitty nodded. In another sector, The geniuses were using some branches to make a series of calculations in the sand.
-confessional-
Ellody: We are scientists, we know how important the preparation stage is.
Mary: Agrees, we're building a sand castle, this isn't kid's stuff.
-end of confessional-
Young Sandy shook his head.
Dwayne: Isn't that enough, are you kidding me? It's the Best castle ever. Hey, I've been making castles since you were still making your pants Pal.
Junior smacked his forehead. The camera switched to the water where Brick and Owen had taken the clues for their teams.
Brick: Yeah.
They were both surrounded by 3 sharks.
Owen: Any chance you guys are dolphins?
-confessional-
Owen: I heard once that sharks can smell fear. Or is it dogs that do that?
-end of confessional-
Mother and daughter were also working at the castle. Surprisingly Taylor was cooperating. Until their castle moved, and they both saw that they had been building their replica in a crab shell. Spud was buried from the neck down in the sand listening to music. Rock walked over and looked at the camera confused as to how that happened. Jay handed his brother the bucket of sand, and it ended up falling under the weight. Sammy was trying to find a shark to take the travek tip.
-confessional-
Sammy: I'm honestly kind of glad I got this challenge. Yeah, Ella could have dealt with the sharks a lot easier, but I needed something to test me, plus normal sharks are nothing after the one we met in Wawanakwa.
-end of confessional-
Lucas had taken his travek tip.
Lucas: Oh yeah, Victory Road, here we…
Sammy: FANG.
The masked man turned and saw Sammy backing away from a shark that was pale, bigger, and had arms.
Sammy: No, get away.
The wrestler tucked the tip into his mask and watched the scene with determination.
Lucas: Hoy no pescado gigante.
Fang prepared to bite the blonde, but the Latino's scream distracted him, before being struck by the wrestler, who began a grapple match with him, Sammy covered and uncovered her eyes against the whimpering, until Lucas took the lead from the mutant shark and threw it at her.
Lucas: Go away, Yo distraigo al dienton.
Sammy: W-what?
Lucas: Get to safety.
Sammy took the clue, watched the boy for a moment, and began swimming toward shore.
Miles was petting a shark, which surprisingly let her.
Miles: If we win the money, I'll start a collection to benefit the preservation of these great, misunderstood aquatic creatures.
The vegan took the hint, the shark saw her, before getting up and "roaring", Miles had no choice but to swim away.
-confessional-
Miles had her clothes torn.
Miles: I'm totally crossing sharks off my preservation list.
Laurie covered her mouth in surprise.
-end of confessional-
Sammy arrived at the beach. Shortly after, Lucas arrived behind her and pulled his clue from inside his mask to hand it to Shane.
Lucas: Bueno, esa fue una aventura.
Shane: Watch out.
Before they could do anything, Fang carried the wrestler on his shoulders and performed an F-5, and went back into the water, waving goodbye with his smile that left no one indifferent.
Sammy: Oh my gosh, are you okay?
The wrestler said something, but they couldn't understand him, between his dizy voice tone by the blow and the fact that his face was buried in the sand.. The cheerleader helped him stand up.
Lucas: Thank you.
Sammy: No. I'm the one who should be thanking you, you saved me from Fang.
Lucas: Ah, it was nothing.
Ella watched the scene with a smile, while Shane had one too, but it was half-ironic.
-confessional-
Shane: What did you say before that my attitude could get us in trouble?
Lucas: I don't see anything wrong with what I did. Besides, I always wanted a round with that Shark.
Shane: Bro, I know you well enough to know that you didn't just jump in for a brawl.
Lucas: Yeah… just keep saying random things.
Shane denied with a smile.
-End of confessional-
Sky used her skills and did a jump to take the travel tip, the shark quickly tried to attack her underwater, but the Cree girl kicked it hard in the stomach, giving her the required window to escape.
Dave: Good job S-ky...
The change of pace in his voice was due to his senses completely switching focus onto his partner as she started to come out of the water, her wet hair falling a bit over her face, making it shine in the same way as her eyes. And then she shook, causing it to revel a bit, all with the beautiful scenery of the sea and blue sky in the background.
Sky: We have to make a castle, come on. The other teams had already started.
The gymnast noticed that her partner wasn't moving.
Sky: Dave... Dave.
Dave: Huh?
Sky: the challenge.
Dave: oh yeah. I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me.
Brody was still running from the shark.
Geoff: My grandmother told me once. If you swim into a shark's mouth. You just keep on swimming.
The camera showed teams like the opposites, Brains and brawn or the positivists working the castles.
Don: most of the teams have started construction of their castles, all except Brody and Geoff.
Father and son finished their second castle.
Dwayne: Where is he? Little judge? tiny little boy? Oh, there you are.
Sandy spotted the little castle on a knoll, and gave them the clue.
Dwayne: Yes. All right, take a motorboat, and follow the GPS to the rest area at the southern tip of. Iceland?
The camera passed a dock at another location, which had some ice blocks in the sea nearby. Where Don was waiting by the carpet.
Don: The southernmost pier on this fishy island is the finish line for this leg of the race. The last team to see me here on the carpet. I could be eliminated from the competition.
Dwayne: Let's go.
The team walked away, Kitty turned around for a moment.
Kitty: Awww, look at that cute little castle.
MacArthur: Hold the sandphone, it doesn't have to be big?
Emma: New plan, it doesn't have to be big.
Father and son boarded a boat at the dock, but it wouldn't start.
Junior: Forget it, let's go to another boat.
Dwayne: That won't be necessary, we just need to...
Dwayne opened the engine.
Dwayne: Adjust the little... mechanical thingy.
-confessional-
Junior: Dad tried to put a bell on my bike once. When he was done the wheels were gone. Just... gone.
Dwayne: It was a Swedish bell, very tricky instructions, we had to take the whole bike apart. Hey, wasn't that the summer where you walked everywhere?
Junior: Yeah.
-confessional-
Dwayne: I can't believe the first 2 boats didn't work.
Junior: You just turn the key and then press the ignition.
Dwayne: It must be one of those Swedish boats. Well I'll drive.
Junior pushed the lever and the boat started to accelerate, meanwhile, Geoff was still looking for his partner, until he saw a shark come out of the water being vertical, as it was biting Brody up to the waist, the surfer fell to the ground, and the shark spit him out, surprisingly, he was unharmed.
Brody: That was crazy And wild. Let's go.
The shark spit a fish at him.
The fashion bloggers got their clue. And they joined the Ice Dancers in the boat race, Carrie and Devin boarded another boat and took off behind, along with the Cadets, Pros, B.F.F.S and other teams. Chet and Lorenzo on the other hand struggled to drive.
Lorenzo/Chet: move over, get out of the way, I'll drive.
Chet won the struggle.
Lorenzo: Fine, but we'll switch every 12 seconds.
Chet started the boat.
Lorenzo: 1 Mississippi, 2 Missisippis.
Chet: You're counting too fast.
The best friends' engine started to smoke.
Devin: oh no, we have a problem.
The black-haired man pulled the lever to slow the boat down.
Devin: If we go any fasternthe motor dies, if we go slow and steady we will win.
Sanders: I hope you have a barbecue permission on that thing.
Father and son stepped on the carpet.
Don: Dwayne and Junior, you are the first to arrive at the rest area.
Dwayne: Ha ha ha, yeah. We're the best.
Don: Unfortunately, you broke a rule when you read the clue without meeting Junior at the beach.
Dwayne: What?
The adult approached the presenter and pulled out his wallet.
Dwayne: Can't you and I fix it?
Junior put his hand to his forehead.
Don: Do you like coupons? How about a discount on cupcakes? Or on potato French fries. No wait, this one's already expired.
Don: 20-minute penalty.
Meanwhile, more teams left the beach after receiving their clues. While the geniouses continued to do their calculations.
Don: More teams head for the boats. But others worry about the details.
Ellody: 373.000, 95 cubic yards. Done, now to build a perfect model with our data.
The tide came in a little and with just a trace of water, all their planning was wiped out.
Ellody: Our data.
Mary: We better wing it.
Ellody: I've never wing. I don't know how.
Meanwhile, the Ice dancers arrived on the carpet, blowing kisses as if they were in front of a crowd.
Don: Jacques, Josee, you're up first. I expected a little more insanity, but I'm glad You're keeping it professional.
The Ice Dancers walked away, and Jacques started running with his arms outstretched as Josee jumped up and down in excitement and kissed her rabbit's foot.
Jacques: We are the best we did it. Champions of the world. Mer Oui.
The blond kissed the camera. The Bloggers arrived on the carpet.
Don: Jennifer. Thomas. You came in second place.
The bloggers squealed with excitement.
Don: However. You did not arrive at Calanque de Maubois by train as instructed, instead, you traveled by Yacht. 20 minute penalty.
-confessional-
Tom: whatevs, we traveled in a yacht.
Jen: And we partied with a prince on a yacht.
Tom: Don So wishes he was us.
-end of confessional-
The TV pros were next to arrive at the dock.
Don: Owen and Noah, they arrived second.
-confessional-
Owen: Yes.
The blond proceeded to give one of his tight hugs to Noah, who could only groan from the tight squeeze.
-end of confessional-
Don: Thirds.
The Cadets high-fived. While the Surfers finally got the hint from Sandy.
Brody: Dude. We're dead last.
The two ran off, out of nowhere Ellody came out from behind a mound of sand.
Ellody: Did you hear something?
Mary: No. You need to focus.
Ellody: Right.
The genies went back to work. As the camera returned to the dock in Iceland.
Don: Penalty completed. Fourth (father and son).
The cosplayers and daters crossed the finish line.
Don: Fifth, Sixth. And the bloggers in Seventh as they finished their penalty.
Geoff and Brody jumped into one of the two remaining boats. And they started, not seeing the engine sparking.
Surfers: Never. SAY. DONE.
Don: Eighth (M.A.P.S.)
Gift: Ninth (Brains and Brawn)
Gift: Tenth (Opposites)
Gift: Eleventh (Hermasters)
Don: Twelvth (Gothic)
Two tourists also arrived at the pier.
Don: Who are you? And who are you? Are you on the show?
Don: 13 (Sisters)
Don: 14 (Positivists)
Don: 15 (Mother and daughter)
Don: 16 (Vegans)
Don: 17 (Masked)
Don: 18 (Adversity Twins)
Don: 19 (Rockers)
The best friends were slowly moving forward.
Devin: Looks like we may be heading home.
-confessional-
Devin: It's so unfair that it's because of a faulty motor. And not something we did wrong. We're a great team.
Carrie: Yeah. Yeah we are.
-End of confessional-
Geoff: Yeah. Woo-hoo-hoo.
The Surfers engine opened up, as it let out smoke.
Geoff: Oh man, what now?
-confessional-
Brody: I should have never let myself get caught in that shark's mouth. Now we're going to be wiped out because of me. That was my biggest fear.
Geoff: Hey, hey hey hey bro, we won as a team. We lose as a team. We are a team man. And I don't know what I'm trying to say cause… I'm so disappointed right now.
-end of confessional-
Brody reached over and touched the motor, he recieved a very strong shock, but the amazing thing was that it allowed the boat to move forward a little bit, until he pulled his finger back.
Geoff: Man, that worked. Do it again.
The brown-haired surfer repeated the action, allowing the boat to move forward little by little.
Carrie: Homie. That's Iceland.
Geoff: There it its.
The two boats were slowly approaching, at their respective paces.
Devin: I can see the dock.
Geoff: So close man, a couple more jolts And where golden.
Don: The chill zone could really use a sofa or something like that. Oh here they come.
The best friends got off the boat and ran down to the carpet.
Don: Carrie, Devin. Team 20.
The best friends celebrated. While Geoff and a Brody who was covered in soot and could barely react from the shocks arrived.
Geoff: It's okay Don we already know. Just, blast us with the bad news.
Don: Geoff, Brody, I'm sorry to Say this but you're... Second last. A.k.A, team 21, and You're still in the race.
Geoff: wahuuu, yeah. Did you hear that bro?
The party boy put a hand on Brody's back, and got a shock.
Geoff: Ouch.
Back in France, the genies were just finishing their castle, until a strong wind blew them upwards, where Don could see them as he flew a helicopter.
Don: Ahoy geniuses. Unfortunately the other teams have already reach the chill zone, you are out of the race. I'm in a helicopter, this is so cool.
-Footage is shown of the geniuses' brief time at the show-
Ellody: How ironic. Our Strength in urban planning was also our downfall.
Mary: That just goes to show how flawed this show is. But we did our part.
The two brainiacs walked off down the beach.
Ellody: I suppose, geniuses aren't always as smart as they think.
They both laughed
Mary: You made a joke.
Ellody: Yes, I did.
Mary: Wonderful.
-BONUS SCENE-
Sky and Dave were relaxing in the hotel lounge.
Sky: ¿Tenth place? The first day we came in fourth.
Dave: I don't know why you're so worried, we're still way up there.
Sky: Maybe, but every time, that tenth position will get further away from being safe, we have to do our best work. And that includes not having distractions like the one you suffered on the beach.
Dave was about to make a retort when they heard something, and watched as Geoff helped Brody, who was still spasming from the electric shocks.
Geoff: Come on buddy, I'm sure there's got to be an infirmary around here somewhere.
Sky: What happened to him?
Geoff: He wired the motorboat engine... about 100 times.
Sky: Let me help you.
She left her partner and went to help the surfers, Dave sighed and looked out the window at the cold Icelandic landscape, while the image of Sky coming out of the water with her hair wet and flattened came back to his mind.
Dave(muttering): She looked beautiful.
Dave shook his head from side to side.
Dave: What am I saying? I mean, she's not ugly by any stretch of the imagination, but beautiful? I barely know her. Maybe i'm affected by the change of weather.
Dave decided to go relax, and saw some guys going to the hot springs.
Dave: Well... it's better than nothing.
The germophobe approached the others.
Rock: What's up buddy.
Dave: Can I come with you?
Rock: Sure. I hear this is like Nirvana.
Dave smiled and joined the rest of the participants for a relaxing session.

New destiny achieved.
The Geniuses are a team that never really convinced me. Not because they're bad, but because they didn't do much. And well, this isn't their story to expand on.
I also tweaked some of Emma and McArthur's dialogue to try to make them a little nicer.
Some of the new teams are building their plots, like Katie and Sadie's ever growing "friendship", or the masked ones with the positivists.
As for Dave and Sky, here it was more focused on Dave and how he's slowly changing his view on his partner, let's see how much more it'll change with their next locations.
And speaking of which, our next episode will take our teams through the cold Icelandic territory, although there will be a temperature shock.
I hope you liked the episode, and don't be afraid to leave reviews, I appreciate criticism and advice.
