Episode 7- A tisket, a casket, I'm gonna blow a gasket.
Don: Last time on The Ridonculous Race.
Don: Some teams had more fun than others. The ants came marching one by one, and an alliance between the twins and sisters ended before it started, the pressure of the race started to get to the Daters.
Don: The ice dancers came in first. And we said Soy-long to the vegans, who came in last place and were eliminated, unfortunately their return flight crashed on a small island populated by cannibals.
Don: Don't worry, we received a confirmation that they escaped unharmed. Discounting that they now need a psychiatrist. And maybe after today, more teams will need one. In this episode of The Ridonculous Race.
-INTRO-
Don: Copacabana Beach was yesterday's chill zone, and today's starting line. And the first to go will be the ice dancers.
-Confessional-
Josee: We won gold for the second time, today we will use our advantage to extend our advantage even more.
Jacques: We'll move so fast, that we will lose the camera crew.
Josee: Then we'll slow down a little until they catch up, because our fans deserve to see us perform.
-End of the confessional.
Josee pressed the button and took the track.
Jacques: Make your way to Dracula's castle in Transylvania?
Images of the Rumanian flag and said castle were show.
Don: Transyvanie, Transilvaniee.
The host spit out the fake vampire teeth.
Don: Transylvania, home to majestic mountains, old Saxon architecture, and birthplace of the Jibby-Jibbys.
Don: Teams must travel to this castle for their first challenge.
Don: This bus will take them to the airport.
Skaters: First place, first place, first place, first place.
The ice dancers' happiness faded immediately, as it turns out the bus would take all the teams.
Crimson: What is this strange feeling?
Ennui: I'm afraid it's... happiness.
-Confessional-
Ennui: Transylvania, I can't believe it.
Crimson: Awesome.
Jacques: We are disappointed. It looks like all the teams are taking the same bus.
Josee came off camera and started screaming and breaking things.
Jacques: She's going to be fine. She'll break things until she falls asleep.
-End of confessional.
And sure enough, Josee was asleep on the bus.
Josee: Gold medal...
The camera panned to the fashion bloggers, and behind them were The Cosplayers, still in their Brazilian outfits.
Tom: Can I show them? Let me show them.
Jen: Yes, yes. Show them.
-confessional -
Tom put on a fez hat.
Tom: I bought it from a local here. Who turned out to be a distributor.
Jen: So Tom ordered 4,000 to take home.
Tom: I'll gonna make fez happened.
-End of confessional.
Lara: You make it look good Tom.
Pierce: Not bad dude.
Tom: Put yours on.
Jen: …maybe later.
The bus pulled up, and all the teams ran to try to get their tickets. The daters had the worst luck and ended up at the end.
Stephanie: There are only 2 flights to Transylvania and we're not getting stuck on flight number 2. No way.
Ryan: But we...
Stephanie: Pick me up. And throw me to the front.
Ryan: Oh Steph, I can't.
Stephanie: PICK ME UP.
The cadets received their tickets leaving room for the sisters and opposites. Until Sthepanie's shout alerted them.
MacArthur: Take cover.
All 3 teams ducked and Sthepanie ended up ramming the computer and the airport worker.
-confessional-
Stephanie: Ryan has expressed concern regarding how, "competitive" I've getting. But we came to an agreement.
Ryan: I need to try harder so Sthepanie doesn't feel the need of being the constant and lone motivator.
Stephanie hugged him.
Stephanie: We will definitely win this.
-End of confessional.
Don: The first 10 teams are on flight number 1.
Sanders: We were good the first couple days, but then we were in the middle zone the whole time.
MacArthur: But today we're on the first flight, so we're back in kicking butt mode.
The camera moved with the brains and brawn team.
Brick: I hope we get there during the day. I was able to cross the catacombs of Paris, but Dracula's castle. That's a different story.
Cameron: The evidence for the existence of beings like vampires is extremely low. The very myth of Dracula is linked to Vlad the Impaler. But after seeing the more… fantastical effects of radiation at Wawanakwa. I think I may be open to that possibility.
Don: The other 10 teams, they're on the second flight. They'll be leaving 45 minutes later, and that may be a tough obstacle to overcome.
Spud: Come on Rock. I know you wanted to be on the first flight. What can I do to cheer you up?
Rock: You could help me win this round. We can do it. We just have to dig deep.
Spud: Yeah, let's do it.
Rock raised his hand making the rock sign.
Rock: Yeah.
Spud mimicked him.
Spud: Yeah.
Rock: Hey, you just tell me what I want to hear.
Spud: Yeah. And dude you looked so happy.
Lucas and Shane were sitting down and looked a little nervous. Which didn't go unnoticed by the positivists.
Sammy: Amm, are you guys okay?
Lucas: Yeah, w-why do you ask?
Ellar: It's just that you look a little tense.
Shane: Mistakes of perception, lady..
Out of nowhere, Lara and Pierce, dressed as a Vampire and a Zombie respectively came out from behind the seats to scare them, Lucas and Shane ended up screaming hugging, causing the others to cover their ears.
-Confessional-
Lucas: Shane and I don't have the best... tolerance for terror. We're more fans of lore than watching movies or series.
Shane: But that's not a bad thing. I mean. Even Superman is scared.
Lucas: Do you think girls find fear attractive?
-End of confessional.
The camera shows a map of the second flight taking off, then pans to the airport where the first flight was landing.
Don: Flight number two has finally departed Brazil. While flight number one is landing in Romania.
The teams left the airport, and as soon as they set foot outside the facility. Lightning flashed across the sky, and the teams saw the dark Transylvanian sky, with Dracula's castle in the distance, over a hill and the moon in the background. And to complete the scene, it began to rain.
Sthepanie hugged Ryan, the sisters held hands, the B.F.F.S hugged, Brick, Dwayne and Dave stood behind their teammates, the Cadets and Ice Dancers looked at the structure in shock and awe, Geoff carried Brody, and then there were the goths with their mouths hanging open.
Crimson: Wow.
-Confessional-
Crimson: Ok. Dracula was the first goth EVER. Our king. Being here is... I just... I can't... I'm so...
Ennui: Hey. That was close. You almost got color in your face.
You hear a wolf howl in the distance.
Brody: There are no taxis around, but we see the road and there's the castle.
Geoff: Creepy. It gave me goosebumps.
Brody: Bro, I nearly took a Deuce-drop.
The surfers laughed.
Surfers: Boom.
-End of confessional.
The teams started running in the direction of the castle, the Gothics had the lead, followed by the Skaters, the other teams were relatively close together, until the Cadets started to pick up the pace.
MacArthur: Come on, pick a lane. Move it.
Josee noticed that Sanders was having a little more difficulty.
Josee: Oh I'm sorry. I didn't see you were there.
The Skater gave her a shove, and the dark-skinned cadet tumbled down the hill, the opposites and lovers dodged her by mere inches, but father and son were not as lucky. MacArthur heard the screams and decided to take action.
MacArthur: Officer down. Shots fired.
The police rammed the skaters, and the two teams began to roll, this time Dave wasn't so lucky and ended up falling into a mud puddle from the accidental push.
-confessional-
Dave was trying to clean himself as Sky watched.
Dave: Ahhh. Please, what were the odds?
Sky: What Josee did was not right, in my world unsportsmanship conduct like that is punishable. I would have done the same as MacArthur.
Dave: What is the best method of removing mud in your world?
Sky: A shower?
Dave: Great. A whole entire challenge covered in mud.
Sky: Maybe the rain will wash some off.
-End of confessional-
Brick stopped and helped them to their feet.
Sky: Thank you.
Brick: It was nothing, miss.
The soldier ran back next to his partner, Sky and Dave did the same, but Dave was no longer so focused on the mud, but on Brick.
Meanwhile, the second flight was already in the air. And Carrie was talking to the Bloggers.
Carrie: So you guys have a fashion blog? That's so cool. Which one of you started it?
Tom/Jen: I did.
Tom: No, i did.
Jen: I did.
Both: I DID IT.
-confessional-
Jen: Okay, you wrote it, but I was the one who came up with the idea, so I created it, and you are closer to, a secretary.
Tom: Excuse me?
-end of confessional-
Ryan and Sthepanie reached for the Don box.
Sthepanie: Yes baby, first place.
Ryan: Wait a minute. How is that possible? The goths were ahead of us.
The camera moved to inside one of the windows, where Ennui was holding a painting of Vlad the Impaler in front of Crimson.
Ennui: Doesn't Vlad look striking?
Crimson: I can see the similarity.
Ennui: Stop, you'll make me blush.
Back downstairs. Sthepanie took the hint, as opposites and brains and brawn arrived and took their own hints.
Sky: It's an "all in." Together to the death?
Stephanie hugged Ryan.
Stephanie: Aww, I love when we get to do things together.
The two teams shared confused looks. The camera then showed the hallways of the place and a coffin on a column.
Don: In this challenge pass all teams must enter Dracula's castle and find an empty coffin.
The coffin on the pole opened, revealing Don.
Don: Whoever took the clue from the Don box, must push the coffin, with their partner inside, to the graveyard, and tip it into an open grave.
The camera showed the cemetery and Don standing on one of the graves with a froggy umbrella.
Don: Creppy.
Brody: Once the task is completed, you'll receive the next clue from the local gravedigger.
Dwayne: The team member inside the coffin can't get out or help at all. Oh shoot.
Further down, MacArthur was still fighting with Josee, and they were crushing Jacques.
Josee: You're going to make us lose.
MacArthur: Then let go of me.
Josee: You go first.
Sanders looked at them reproachfully, while poor Jacques could only endure the pain.
Don: As the Cadets and Ice Dancers play in the mud.
The camera panned to the airport where the second plane was landing.
Don: Flight number two has arrived with the other 10 teams.
The teams exited the building, the twins and the Masked mens saw the castle with the stormy sky.
-Confessional-
Jay: We know vampires don't exist. We're not dumb kids anymore. But werewolves? That's another story.
Mickey: And if they can smell fear. I'm in trouble. Because I'm bathed in the essence of terror.
-End of confessional-
Lucas: Come on dude, we can do this. Who knows, maybe vampires are like the ones in Twilight and not like the ones in Blade.
Shane: It doesn't help the case much, they're still blood sucking creatures.
Lorenzo: Last one to arrive eats snots.
The Black-haired one shoved his half-brother and ran off.
Chet: Hey.
The teams ran off.
Jay: No wait, stay with the group.
Lucas: Yeah, what he said.
The only ones left behind were the Bloggers who were still fighting.
Jen: Alright, let's just get inside the castle.
Tom: That's what the clue said. Or do you want to take credit for that too?
The camera shows the Surfers and the sisters walking in one of the hallways, where there were animal heads hanging like trophies.
Brody: And then he said, dude, that moose doesn't need mouth to mouth, it's just a head on the wall.
The Surfers and Kitty laughed.
Emma: Time up, lets split up. Kitty and I will follow down this hallway. You two. Go find another one.
Brody: Rad idea, we'll cover more ground. And if we find coffins, we'll call you with our secret signal.
The surfers started jumping and making noises that could only be described as a mixture of a bird and someone celebrating something. Kitty smiled and took a picture.
Back in the castle courtyard, The Cadets and the Ice dancers took their cues.
MacArthur: Let's go.
The stepbrothers went next and Lorenzo pressed the button.
Lorenzo: Ha, I beat you, let me serve you dinner.
The dark-skinned boy began to make an effort to sneeze, Chet took the hint.
Chet: Don't dream about it. Whoever took the hint will have. WHAT?
Lorenzo: Ha.
Inside the castle, Father and son had gotten lucky and found a coffin. Dawyne went inside and Junior closed the door.
Junior: All right, now don't go out or do anything they might penalize us for.
The boy started to make an effort to move it, but it ended up falling on him.
-Confessional-
Dwayne: I'm enjoying all the father and son time. Dwayne Junior is the best. I mean, he's almost too obedient. I want to teach him that part of growing up, is to think for youself, to decide what rules can be ignored.
Junior: I can ignore my curfew.
Dwayne: No.
Junior: Drive your car.
Dwayne: You better not touch me.
Junior: Drop out of school.
Dwayne: Of course not.
Junior: How about a tattoo?
Dwayne: Grounded.
-end of confessional-
The camera shows a triple shot of the Cadets running, The Sisters walking and Don outside the castle.
Don: Will any of these teams make it out of Dracula's castle alive?
The sisters stopped and a trap door opened at their feet,while the Cadets were being chased by many bats.
Don: Probably not. But find out when we get back in, the ridonculous race.
-commercial break-
The camera returned showing the castle.
Don: The race continues in Transylvania, As the teams strive to complete the first challenge.
The Masked Ones were walking back to back, and didn't notice that one of the squares was following them with his eyes. While Junior had managed to push the coffin to the entrance of the cemetery, and Sthepanie carried his, Ryan was so Big, his legs were sticking out over the sides.
-Confessional-
Ryan: My girlfriend is bionic.
Stephanie: I'm just trying to stay here with my superheroes.
Ryan: I not sure if you can see it at home, but I'm 75% upper body.
The couple started making out.
-End of confessional-
Junior was still pushing the coffin. Josee soon passed him, as basically, he was making his coffin go round and round. Which was bad for her partner.
Jacques: Not so fast.
A camera on the coffin showed Jacques constantly bumping himself.
-Confessional-
Jacques: I know it's a race, but with that way of moving the coffin. I'll end up covered in bruises.
Josee: You mean, like someone will hold you up in the air, and then drop you face first in front of a stadium full of people, on the most important day of your life? That kind of covered in bruises.
-End of confessional-
Brick and Sky carried the coffins with Cameron and Dave respectively, which was extremely easy due to the light weight of each boy.
Brick: And that's how I dislocated my hip.
Sky: You never forget those things. One time I was so focused on practicing for an obstacle course, I ended up falling into a ditch, the doctors had to remove 3 rocks from my knee and it was a miracle the bone was intact.
Dave: Ouch.
Sky: Are you okay?
The camera shows Dave inside the coffin thinking.
Dave: Ah, yeah... I think it was a... splinter, nothing too serious.
Meanwhile, The Masked Ones had found some coffins.
Shane: Well, I took the lead, so you'll have to carry me.
Lucas: To a cemetery? ¿Estás loco? no, ni hablar, prefiero la penalización.
Shane: We have no choice, and we can't risk it, we still don't know if there's another challenge in between.
Lucas: But... But...
Shane: Come on. Do it for the orphanage owners, for the kids... and for the girl.
Lucas sighed and closed the coffin.
Lucas: I can... I can do it.
Ennui: Classic oak wood hexagon with Corinthian leather interior. nice.
Crimson got into the coffin and crossed his arms over his chest.
Crimson: Take me to the gravedigger.
-confessional-
Ennui: Modern coffins are so flimsy.
Crimson: When I die, I want to be buried in one that was made during the plague, They knew how to make a coffin last.
Ennui: So true.
-end of confessional-
In another hallway, Mickey was trying to carry the coffin, which had Jay in it, but it was clearly not going well.
Mickey: My knees are cramping up. My arms hurt. I… just… can't do it.
The boy ended up falling to the ground, with the coffin on top of him. The camera inside showed his brother.
Jay: Hey, if Mickey can't do it, neither can I, if this is where it ends, this is where it ends.
Out of nowhere they started hearing a strange noise.
Jay/Mickey: Werewolf? Werewolf.
The twin in the dark sweater was trying to open the coffin door.
Jay: The door is stuck.
Mickey: I won't leave you behind.
The twin in the cap made an effort and managed to lift the coffin, and began to walk slowly. The camera shifted, revealing that the noise was the Surfers' "secret call".
Brody: I don't think they can hear us. O well, hop in.
Geoff climbed into the coffin, just at that instant, Emma and Kitty fell through the hole in the ceiling into a larger coffin.
Brody: Oh super you did heard us, choose your coffin.
Outside, Josee was finishing pushing the coffin into one of the graves, when she saw Lorenzo doing the same.
Josee: Hey, weren't you on the second flight?
Jacques: Who are you talking to?
The Skater and the stepbrother pushed their coffins into one of the holes, Jacques got out and saw something.
Jacques: Is that the gravedigger?
Some lightning illuminated the place, and an old man was seen, with no hair on his head, hunched over and holding a shovel.
Lorenzo: Well, old man, it's not the ice-cream man.
Noah had also arrived and was pushing the coffin with Owen.
Owen: Ice cream?, let me out, please.
Noah pushed the coffin.
Lorenzo: Common nerd.
The gravedigger brought the note over to them, stuck in a machete, causing the stepbrothers to panic and fall into the grave again.
Lorenzo: Oh. Thank you. Ride on horseback to the Romanian gymnastics training center, and find the Don box.
Chet: horseback?
The two turned and saw many horses on a nearby mountain.
-confessional-
Chet: Great, we got first place.
Lorenzo: The last time I won something, was when I got that medal for being awesome.
Chet: You stole that from my cereal box.
Lorenzo: Stop ruining my moment, butt face.
The two began another one of their bickering.
-End of confessional-
Katie also dropped the coffin, and Junior was making efforts to do the same.
Dwayne: Now put me down slowly son.
He finally could, but that resulted in a strong cause for the father, as the boy dropped to his knees to catch his breath. Inside, the Bloggers finally found the coffin.
Tom: I hope it has enough room for your huge ego.
Jen: It'll be nice for YOU to carry me for once for a change.
Tom: The only difference is that now you're inside a coffin.
The red-headed man pushed the coffin. Outside, Ennui was about to enter the cemetery.
Crimson: Stop.
The goth dropped the coffin and, and Crimson rose from the coffin, almost floating.
Crimson: I know it's against the rules, but this might be your only chance. Well, the only one you'll remember. Get in.
Seconds later, Ennui was the one inside the coffin, and Crimson was pushing him. In the cemetery, Ryan was startled when he saw the gravedigger, and then again when he pulled out the clue in the machete. But he took it and saw his partner, though she wasn't very happy.
Ryan: It took us a little while to find the graveyard.
Stephanie: Just say it. It took me a while to find the cemetery. Me.
Ryan: Hey, we're still ahead of most of them.
Stephanie: Right, im sorry.
Ryan: We're a great team.
The goths left with their lead, while the Surfers talked to the gravedigger.
Brody: Man, the way you snuck out was epic.
Emma: You can take the next one guys.
Kitty took a selfie with the gravedigger. The camera panned to another area, where Ella was climbing out of the hole, while Lucas finished pushing his coffin into the hole.
Sammy: I see you're doing well.
Lucas: Yes, we are doing very well, and without a hint of fear in the system.
The gravedigger appeared in the flashes of lightning and extended the machete with the clue.
Lucas: Ahhhh.
The masked luchador fell into the hole, right on top of his partner.
Shane: My stomach.
Lucas: My head.
Mickey also arrived and dropped into the hole with the coffin.
Jay: Well, there was no werewolf.
Mickey: But to think there was, it made us push our limits.
Jay: And I'll tell people the stuff in my pants is just water.
The twins left, and out from behind one of the graves came a monstrous figure.
Sanders was pushing the coffin into the cemetery.
MacArthur: Use your glutes Sanders.
Sanders: Yes, I'm using my glutes.
Much farther away, the stepbrothers rode into the middle of the woods.
Lorenzo: There's the training center.
Until they were overtaken by the Skaters, who were both on one horse smiling, and the horse was smiling too. The skaters reached the entrance and pressed the button on the Don box.
Jacques: It's a "Botch or Watch". Gymnastics.
The Skaters grinned mischievously. After all, that was their territory. Inside, Don was holding himself up using some trapezes.
Don: Gymnastics. Nastics that take place in a Gym. Whoever didnt face the bullet ants in Brazil will have to perform two gymnastic feats.
The presenter went down and jumped on a balance beam and walked to the other side.
Don: First walk over this balance beam and land with an open jump in the center. High School Team.
A ball came out of nowhere and hit him in the crotch.
Don: Then they will have to perform a flip on this potro.
The announcer did it but went over.
Don: No, no, no.
A crash was heard, and then another ball was seen flying. The camera panned past with Don and a coach with a mustache and whistle.
Don: Once you receive a thumbs up from our local judge, Bala Karaoke.
Bala: I hate everything.
Don: Teams must race along the indicated path until they reach the Chill zone. Last one to arrive may be sent home... Do you have any ice packs?
Josee kissed her rabbit's foot, performed the bar with no problem, even with a cartwheel in between, and then ran and performed the colt test. The coach gave her a thumbs up.
Ice Dancers: Hello first place.
-confessional-
Josee: Of course I'm good at gymnastics, it's a lot like skating, only we use knives on our feet, and we don't have a soft mat if we fall. Just a rock hard layer of cold ice.
Jacques: I said I was sorry.
-End of confessional-
Don: Meanwhile the race to not come in last place continues.
Sanders managed to leave the coffin. Tom did too, though not very carefully.
Jen: Ouch. I broke three nails.
Tom turned and was caught by the gravedigger's machete, knocking him into the hole.
-confessional-
Jen: Tom stopped every 10 feets. He needs to work harder.
Tom: Or, maybe Jen should lay off the bread a little.
The girl sighed, but decided to shoot back.
Jen: Those hats are ridiculous and you'll never make them popular.
The dressmaker sighed too, but he wasn't going to stay that way.
Tom: Like that time you tried it with the plaid leg warmers happened, huh?
Jen: Ugh, I can't deal with this.
-End of confessional-
MacArthur: How come we're losing again? We're better than this, aren't we?
Spud: Wujuu.
Rock: Why are you all, Wujuu. We are in the, wawa. Bottom floor.
Spud: Because we usually do worse.
Don was on the mat, when he saw the team arrive.
Don: Ice Dancers, you arrived in...
Josee: First place.
The black-haired girl jumped up and down with happiness.
Josee: Champions.
Back at the center, several teams were in a chain to complete the challenges. Chet was passing the balance beam with no problem, much to Lorenzo's amazement.
Owen ran toward the trampoline, but his weight was so much, he didn't bounce. Kelly completed the bar while keeping her arms straight. Owen was still trying to bounce, Noah watched as Emma ran, and used Owen as a springboard, doing multiple flips in the air. The sarcastic boy's eyes lit up, Emma landed on her feet and got the hint, Noah was still so gawking, he didn't see that Owen had managed to bounce and landed on top of him, far from caring, he kept smiling. As Owen got the thumbs up.
Chet was next and performed the somersault with no problem.
Geoff: Wow, that's pretty good.
Lorenzo: Yeah. Because he took rhythmic gymnastics. If he had any guts, he'd sign up for my class, the ancient art of Karate.
Geoff: Oh that's sweet dude, you bring different skills to the table. That makes you a great team.
Lorenzo: Yeah right... Wait, are you serious?
Chet: Are you coming or what.
Lorenzo: Yeah, I'm coming.
Don: Second Place (Professionals)
Don: Third Place (Sisters)
In the gym, Sky performed the cartwheel and landed perfectly while being watched by Cameron and Dave. Coach gave her the thumbs up.
Sky: Yes.
Dave: Well done Sky.
Brick's shout interrupted them, and they watched as the cadet fell backwards, receiving a thumbs down.
Brick: Mission failed sir.
Sky offered him a hand.
Sky: You'll do better on your next attempt.
The soldier accepted the help.
Brick: I would be honored to compete against you another time.
Dave: Emm. Sky. The challenge.
Sky: Oh right.
The opposites ran off, Cameron smiled.
Brick: Is something wrong with him?
Cameron: Nothing to worry about.
Dwayne was trying to keep his balance, but ended up falling to the ground, Crimson on the other hand, completed the balance with no problems.
Don: The race for first place is over, and now it's a race for anything but last.
Ryan was having trouble holding on, until he fell and hit his knee on the bar.
Stephanie: Get up Ryan, shake it off. Get up. If you can.
-Confessional-
Stephanie: I'm staying calm.
Ryan: And you're doing good baby.
Stephanie: You're doing good. BUT YOU COULD DO BETTER. That's what we need, the best.
-End of confessional.
Don: Fourth (Stepbrothers).
Don: Fifths (Mother and daughter)
Don: Sixths (Opposites)
Sky: Sixths? Damn, I wasn't fast enough.
Dave: But Sky. You did well, the other teams were there before.
The gymnast sighed.
Sky: Yeah. You're right. I can't win if the others already had a big lead on us from before.
Dave: That's not what I said, but if it helps you stay calm.
Sky smiled and shook his hair a little in a friendly way and then started walking back to the hotel, Dave sighed with a chuckle, but quickly shook his head to get back to reality. Back in the gym, Sadie performed the cartwheel. The judge gave her a thumbs up and Katie hugged her.
Katie: I knew you could do it.
Sadie: Oh. Only because you taught me.
Mickey encouraged his brother, who was crawling while holding onto the bar.
Mickey: Go Jay go. Go Jay go.
Sammy ran over and did the cartwheel with no problem, receiving the thumbs up.
Ella: Well done Samantha.
Shane: Nice moves.
Sammy: Oh thanks. It's just my years on the cheerleading squad.
Lucas: My turn.
The masked man ran and bounced, but the pressure he applied was so much, he shot up into the ceiling, causing his partner and the Positivists to look up at him with pained expressions. The wrestler peeled off and somehow landed on his feet. Legs spread wide, and a "crack'' was heard perfectly. But the trainer gave a thumbs up.
Lucas: Yeah... I did it.
Shane: Need a hand buddy?
Lucas: No... I'm good... let's go.
The wrestler began to crab walk… literally. Brick tried again and this time landed on his feet, getting the thumbs up.
Brick: Mission accomplished.
The best friends were next, but Devin was unable to land on his feet, so he received the thumbs down. Rock did a cartwheel doing air guitar, Coach lifted his shoulders and approved, Rock celebrated with another air guitar. Ryan was trying to stay balanced.
Stephanie: It's called a balance beam. Not tightrope. BALANCE.
The shout caused Ryan to slip and fall spread-legged on the bar.
Stephanie: COME ON.
The goths made it to the finish line.
Don: You're seventh place. Or would be if you hadn't broken the rules with the coffin. 10 minute penalty.
Crimson: It was worth it.
Tom performed the second test, but since he didn't do a cartwheel, he received a thumbs down.
Stephanie: You can do it Ryan.
The athlete ran up to the platform, but ended up bouncing badly and landed on his back on the floor.
-Confessional-
Stephanie: What's your problem?
-End of confessional-
Jay tried, but was also unsuccessful.
Don: Seventh (B.F.F.S).
Don: Eighth (Father and son)
Don: Ninth (Positivists)
Don: Tenth (Cadets)
Don: Eleventh (Brains and Brawn)
Don: Twelfth (Surfers)
Don: Thirteenth (Masked Mens)
Don: Fourteenth (Rockers)
Don: Best friends in 15th and Cosplayers in 16th. With only 3 teams remaining, the goths look nervous.
The goths however were calm and quiet.
In the gym, Jay finally landed on his feet and received the thumbs up.
Jay: Awesome.
Ryan tried again. But he landed spread-legged on the rack, then bounced on the trampoline again.
-Confessional-
Stephanie: You know who wins gold medals doing this? 12-year-old girls.
Ryan: Yelling at me isn't helping.
Stephanie: It's a botch or watch, I can't help you.
-End of confessional-
Tom tried again, but this time he ended up bouncing so high, he crashed into one of the lamps and got a strong shock.
Jen: TOM.
The fashionista did the flip and landed by his side to check on him.
Jen. Tom, are you all right?
Tom: I'm sorry, you know I'm really bad at gymnastics. You know my strength is matching clothes. If you were in charge we would have finished that by now. You're so much better than me.
Jen: Oh Tom, you are good at everything you put your mind to. So great as annoying. But great. Never forget that.
Tom: Oh, thank you Jen.
The dressmaker stood up.
Tom: I won't let you down.
Jen put on one of the Fez.
Jen: I know you can do it.
Sthepanie: You can't give up. Get back in there, and start thinking like a 12 year old mister.
Don: 17 (Adversity twins)
The twins celebrated, but howls sent them running.
-confessional-
Crimson: Well, even if we get kicked out. This will still be (smiles) the best day ever.
Ennui: Being inside that coffin (smiles) I've never felt so alive.
-end of confessional-
Jen: You got this Tom.
Stephanie: You should have done it an hour ago.
Jen: You're the best buddy.
Stephanie: I'm so disappointed in you.
Tom ran, did the cartwheel and landed on his feet. Coach gave them the thumbs up.
Jen: Come on.
Ryan also landed on his feet, and because of his weight, his feet dug into the mat.
Sthepanie: We don't have time, come on.
Tom: This blog was your idea, it's yours.
Jen: no, you did so many amazing changes to it, it's more yours than mine.
Tom: How about we just say it's ours and that's it.
Jen: I like the sound of that.
Stephanie: Come on.
Tom: Why are they so fast?
Jen: I don't know.
Tom: I'll always want to work with you Jen.
Jen: I feel the same way.
The penalty clock hit zero.
Don: Goths, penalty over, team 18.
Crimson (in her neutral tone): wuju.
Don: Team 19. They're still in the race.
Ryan: Yes.
Sthepanie: Yes? Yes? Pft.
Ryan: But we didn't lose. Babe, wait.
The Bloggers made it to the finish line.
Don: Im Sorry, You're out.
Jen: Aww.
Don pulled out a fez and put it on.
Don: But this are very in.
-scenes of the bloggers are shown-.
Tom: I wouldt call this a failure in any way. We so kicked butts.
Jen: We almost died several times on that high platform, in the Geyser field or on that vine. But we totally did it.
Tom: Yay us.
Jen: This race was a big teast to prove the strength of our friendship, and it was great.
Tom: More than great.
The camera comes back showing that they were followed by many bats.
Jen: Is it just me, or did a lot of bats suddenly appear.
Tom: Why are they?.
Jen: Ah, it's the fez hats. They want the hats.
Tom: I told you they're popular. Ahhhh.
-END OF EPISODE-
-BONUS SCENE-
Dave and Sky were sitting inside the hotel, enjoying some welcome food.
Sky: The good thing is that we are still safe.
Dave: You see, there was nothing to worry about. We still have some security, and if we stay in the high places, that security will be greater.
Sky: But let's not get carried away either. Ego is an athlete's greatest weakness.
Owen: Noah.
The two turned and saw Owen trying to talk to his friend, who looked lost.
Owen: Come on buddy, answer me.
Dave didn't understand what was going on, but Sky followed Noah's gaze and smiled as she realized she was focused on Emma, who was talking on the phone, probably to her family.
Owen: What's wrong with you little buddy?
Lara (still dressed as a vampire): Maybe a vampire hypnotized him.
Owen: Oh no, what am I supposed to do?
Pierce (still dressed as a zombie): Try getting him wet.
Owen: To the hotel pool.
Owen carried his friend and went to that place followed by the cosplayers.
Dave: Please. Vampires aren't real, and even if they were. All they do is turn into bats and suck blood. Eugh.
Sky: In fact, vampires can have abilities like mind control, hypnosis, or my favorite, bioluminescence.
Dave: And how do you know about that?
Sky: My dad loves the supernatural. He had a book he used to read to my sister and I when we were kids, about a young vampire girl who was trying to fit into society, and her ability was that her wings had bioluminescence.
Dave: Kind of a weird story for childhood. I had the little prince.
Sky: Oh, that book is beautiful.
Dave: I know.
The two continued talking a little longer, before resting, they had survived so far, but they still had a lot of road ahead of them .

The Bloggers are a team I really like, but again, this is not their story. Still, I consider their elimination to be well pitched.
This chapter for the most part is the same, Katie and Sadie took a back seat in this chapter, while the masked ones faced their respective fears. And it seems Dave is a little uncomfortable with Sky talking to a certain soldier. Why would that be? (well, it's no mystery, but he still doesn't put the pieces together).
Lara and Pierce had a moment of comedy as they scared the masked men, and later in the bonus scene, give their theories of Noah's condition.
Our next episode will take the teams from dark Transylvania to a tropical location, where they'll be looking for things in the water and wishing the hotel has a foot masseuse.
