Episode 8- Hawaiian Honeyruin.
Don: Last time in the ridonculous race. Our teams paid a visit to Count Dracula creepy cradle. And it terrified everyone… Almost
Don: As the goths cracked their first smiles, other teams cracked under the pressure, the ce dancers caught first place, and i think Emma unconsciously caught Noah's heart.Sadly Tom and Jen had creative differences, and by the time they resolved them, it was too late and they were voted out.
Don: Who will fez their way out this week? Hold on to your hats because this is... The Ridonculous Race.
-INTRO-
Don: We're back on Transylvania, where yesterday's first team, is about to receive today's first travel tip.
Josee pressed the button and took the clue.
Josee: Take a donkey-cart to Bucarest and fly to. HAWAII.
Images of Hawaii are shown.
Don: Hawaii. Home of beautiful sunshine, ukuleles and shirts that should only be worn ironically.
Don: Once the teams depart, they must find this don box.
The host saw that the Don box had a Hawaiian shirt and activated his headset.
Don: Ha ha. Very funny, it was you, the wardrobe?
In the first wagon were the skaters (With Jacques holding the reins) and in the wagon were the pros and the sisters, who were in a guessing game with gestures... well, Owen and Kitty were, Noah and Emma were just watching.
Owen: I'm good at this game - soccer goal? rectangular face? oh, a box of candy?
-confessional-
Josee: playing is for children, we'll stay focused the whole time.
Jacques: All the time. I've been so focused that I haven't washed my underwear since the race started.
Josee: That's not focused. That's gross.
Jacques: Well. Maybe someone thinks your rabbit's foot is gross.
Josee pulled out the rabbit's foot.
Josee: Don't listen to him Bun-Bun.
-end of confessional-
Owen: Cheesecake?
Kitty: click.
Owen: Oh exploding chocolate cheesecake.
Emma: CAMERA. It's a camera. She said click. how did you not understand that?
Noah had re-entered fantasy land.
Emma: Did you hear that? how do you put up with that all day? emm. What's his problem? Hello land to weirdo. Hello.
In Noah's mind, Emma was waving at him in a friendly way and blushing.
Emma: Hi.
The older sister retreated to her place again.
Owen: You're okay buddy.
Noah: My stomach feels funny.
Owen: You have to make boom, boom?
The wagon went over some rocks, and that caused Josee's rabbit's foot to fall out of her pocket.
Further back, the second wagon had the opposites in the driver's seat, while in the wagon were the step-siblings and mother and daughter.
Chet: This donkey reeks.
Lorenzo: He said the same about you.
Chet: A talking donkey. pff, like that's possible.
Lorenzo: It must be possible. because you're talking. Booyah. Call me when you're on my level.
Chet: That's the best you got dung head?
Lorenzo: Oh yeah? how about you poop lifter shovel.
Dave: And for stuff like that, I'm glad I don't have any brothers.
Taylor: Ugh, tell me about it, I wish I had come with daddy.
Sky: I'm sure you can enjoy that experience with your mom.
Kelly. Taylor is more, a daddy's little girl.
Taylor: Daddy and I have a lot in common, like we both like to be successful, and we hate avocado.
In the third wagon, were the positivists, father and son and the B.F.F.S. who were sleeping, and similar to the Awake-A-Ton challenge at TDI. They were snoring in sync.
Ella: It is majestic to see two souls so synchronized. They almost look like sisters.
Sammy: I wish all sisters were like that.
Junior: Oh yeah. We saw your season. Your sister really made your life miserable.
Sammy: Not just on the island, she's been doing it for years and years, and I've never understood why. You're lucky to be able to come with your dad.
Dwayne: oh no, I'm the lucky one. But you girls make a good team.
Sammy: Thank you. You guys do awesome too.
Ella: Would you guys like to hear a little song?
Dwayne: Sure. Nothing better than some music to liven up the trip.
Ella: Tell everybody I'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
With blue skies ahead
Yes, I'm on my way
And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be
T ell everybody I'm on my way
And I'm loving every step I take
With the sun beating down
Yes, I'm on my way
And I can't keep this smile off my face
Cause there's nothing like seeing each other again
No matter what the distance between
And the stories that we tell will make you smile
Oh it really lifts my heart
So tell 'em all I'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
And to sleep under the stars
Who could ask for more
With the moon keeping watch over me
(On my way- Phil Collins)
While the others enjoyed the song, in the fourth cart belonged to the cadets, surfers and brains and brawn. The donkey released a flatulence, causing the surfers to laugh and
MacArthur, while Sanders, Brick and Cameron covered their noses.
Brody: From Transylvania to Hawaii. Man, this race is epic.
MacArthur: Donkey, Right back at ya.
The cadet returned the flatulence, much to her partner's displeasure.
-confessional-
MacArthur: I can't say no to a fart down, it's personal pride. oh oh, wait, we've got strong winds coming into the area.
Sanders: And I'm out of here.
MacArthur: where are you going. you're going to miss the show.
A flatulence is heard.
MacArthur: Oh oh, we have a code 6. Officer needs paper.
-end of confessional-
The fifth wagon had the rockers, best friends and masked, Carrie smiled as she watched Devin sleep, Lucas also slept and Shane had to make sure his partner didn't fall.
-confessional-
Lucas: I needed to catch up on sleep, I had a lot of trouble sleeping. The window of the hotel overlooked right to the castle.
Shane: advantages of the eye mask, it does a second job as a blindfold.
-end of confessional-.
In the sixth wagon were the cosplayers, the adversity twins and the goths. Crimson and Ennui commanded the carriage, and let out a disappointed sigh.
-confessional-
Ennui: leaving Romania is hard, but leaving Romania for a tropical paradise full of sunshine and happiness?
the goths sighed again.
-end of confessional-
The camera panned, revealing Ryan and Sthepanie riding alone in the last wagon.
Stephanie: Don't you have a whip?
Ryan: Not last time i looed.
Stephanie: Open your eyes, our donkey is going slower than the others, he wants us to lose.
-confessional-
Stephanie: I'm not too competitive.
Ryan (pretending to cough): Yes you are.
Stephanie: Are you okay sugarpump? I just want to win, and this is a competition. So YEAH, WHEN THINGS GET TIGHT, YOU CAN'T RESERVE ANYTHING, SO WE HAVE TO PUT OUR STRENGTHS TOGETHER, WORK HARD, GIVE IT ALL WE'VE GOT.
-end of confessional-
Ryan: I don't think the donkey really cares if...
The girl got off the cart and stood in front of the donkey.
Stephanie: Move it horse wannabe, you know how important this is?, we're not going to come in last because of you. Move.
Ryan just looked at the camera.
-confessional-
Stephanie: We were really stressed out, but it turns out all the teams are on the same flight.
-end of confessional-
The plane landed. and the teams descended to the runway, where they were greeted by the locals with flower necklaces.
Don: as is custom in hawaii, locals welcome tourists by bestowing a lovely necklace made of local flowers.
The adversity twins, specifically Jay, didn't seem so happy about that.
Jay: oh hi. those aren't... HORQUIDS.
The twin in the blue sweater started to run, but the local woman wasn't going to let things go easily, and threw the necklace like a frisbee, Mickey tried to stop it in mid-air, but it went over his head, and the necklace landed on Jay's head, who immediately started sneezing.
-confessional-
Mickey: boy oh boy, they really take their customs seriously here.
Jay: I'm extremely allergic to orchids.
The twin sneezed again.
-end of confessional-
The professionals and the sisters left the facility. Owen was about to push the button, but Emma pushed him, causing him to push Noah as well.
Emma: This one is ours, you might as well give up now.
Owen: oh oh, get ready to be Noah-ed...
However, Noah was back in fantasy land.
Owen: umm, any second now. he's just thinking.
Kitty took the hint.
Kitty: it's a "Botch or Watch". whoever didn't do gymnastics in Romania has to go diving for wedding rings?
The camera pans to a dock, where Don was ready to explain.
Don: In this challenge. Botchers have to dive to the bottom in hawaii's most popular wedding bay and retrieve one of the rings from the bottom.
Owen: Then swim to the beach at the end of the bay to meet your partner.
Kitty: common.
The sisters took off, with Owen close behind.
Owen: Noah walking... Noah? oh, maybe it's rabies.
Owen carried his friend. the skaters left, but Josee stopped and started checking his clothes.
Josee: something's doesnt feelright... Bun-Bun. where is Bun-Bun?
Jacques: It's okay. We don't need a rabbit's foot. just like my underpants is a silly superstition.
Josee: Ok. take off your lucky ditchs then.
Jacques looked at the camera and then ran off with the clue in hand.
Josee: THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
On the beach, the teams began to launch themselves, Spud as a cannonball, and Jacques with a ballet pirouette. Kitty was more hesitant.
Emma: You can do it Kitt.
Kitty: It looks very deep.
Emma: Just pretend it's grandma's pool, but with less old people floating around.
Kitty: Okay, here I go.
The sister with pigtails jumped into the water. Followed by Katie.
Dave: I hope the water is clean.
Sky: It's for ceremonies, I'm sure they're legally required to keep it clean.
The germaphobe jumped in.
Sammy: Good luck Ella.
Ella: Thank you Samantha.
The princess jumped into the water. Shane watched the scene with a smile.
Lucas: Good luck brother.
The wrestler gave him a friendly slap on the back, but this ended up pushing the superhero, who fell belly-first into the water, staying afloat for a few seconds, in front of the pained looks of his partner, Sammy, and Ella, who dived in to pull him afloat.
Ella: Oh my gosh, are you okay?
Shane(dizzy): Yes Mr. Mayor, I've already shattered professor's nefarious death ray.
A giggling laugh escaped the princess, which made her let go of the black-haired man, so she had to pick him up again.
Sammy: Weird, usually the princess is the one who needs the rescue.
Lucas(whispering): I'd let you rescue me.
Sammy: What?
Lucas: nothing.
Carrie hugged Devin.
Carrie: heh, for luck.
Devin: You're gonna rock this.
Carrie smiled, but due to her excitement, she hadn't seen that she jumped right over a rock, hitting herself hard. The Surfers and Cadets reacted with pain.
MacArthur: Cannonball?
MacArthur and Geoff jumped into the water.
Geoff: Yes.
Brody: WOOO, MacArthur, you kick so much butt. So much
Sanders: You know she's my partner, right?
Brody: You did good too, bro.
The teams that had arrived were already in search of the rings, Jacques ended up finding a small octopus, which spit its ink in his face.
The teammates watched from the dock nervously, until Jacques came out with a ring, and his face and hair stained by the octopus' ink.
Josee: Yes, I'll wait for you on the beach.
The skater passed Mother and Daughter, with Taylor stretching.
Kelly: Sweety, I think is time for you to get on the water by now.
Taylor: Relax mamacita, how many swim medals do I have on my wall? About a billion.
-confessional-
Taylor: Daddy had to pay to reinforce the wall so we could hang them all, and the coach told mommy I was the best student he'd ever seen.
Kelly: am, honey.
Taylor: The best.
-end of confessional-
Taylor jumped... and landed on her face. The adult looked at the camera.
Kelly: I... I may have exaggerated what her swim coach said... just a little bit.
The last team to arrive were the sweethearts.
Ryan: You're going to be great. I know, just get in there Steph and do...
Stephanie: Oh you're so cute. But let's save the pep talk for when YOU do something, since YOU are the one struggling.
The girl jumped into the water. While Ryan folded his arms.
Ryan: go team.
Sky: Ryan right? You should tell her it makes you uncomfortable.
Ryan: I know. But you saw how she is, even the slightest thing upsets her. And it's true that I'm not giving my best performance.
Sky: Still, that's no way to bring out your potential, you should at least try. It's not fair to treat you that way.
Ryan: Yeah... Maybe you're right... um...
Sky: Sky.
Ryan: Sky. If I may say so, you and your partner work really well. You make a great team.
Sky: Yeah. I admit I'm surprised at how well we work together. But what Dave lacks in strength, he makes up for in attitude… even if he sometimes seems low on it.
A sneeze interrupted the conversation, and they both saw the Adversity twins.
Jay: I always expected my orchid allergy was very acute.
Mickey: Do you think there are jellyfish?
Jay: If there are, at least you know you're immune.
The twin in the cap jumped into the water, while Stephanie came out holding Dave.
Stephanie: Give me the ring.
Dave: I don't have it, I lost it when you grabbed my arm and it fell into a crack.
Sky: Hey leave him.
Ryan: Yeah Steph, the kid's not to blame, plus he's only got like an eighth of your strength, it's not fair.
Dave: Yeah it's not... HEY.
Stephanie let go, Dave went back underwater.
Stephanie: Why are you helping them and not me?
Ryan: It's a botch or watch. I can only watch while you... botch.
Stephanie: You're the worst.
On the beach, Josee ran to meet her partner.
Josee: First place, first place. Even without Bun-Bun. Jacques is right, I don't need a good luck charm huh?
The Skater stopped and picked up a rock from the ground, which was shaped like a small cup/trophy.
Josee: It's so light. And warm. Energy. common rock-rock. We have a race to win.
A fishing hook was stuck in the collar of his vest. And the camera zoomed out, showing that he was a local elder.
Local: Wait, you can't take a lava rock as a souvenir.
Josee: You've got a whole volcano of them grandpa.
The Skater took off her hook and ran back, not noticing that the sky had darkened above her.
Don: While the Ice Dancers extend their stay in the lead, the rest of the teams are still looking for rings and falling short.
Geoff stirred some seaweed, until he felt something, but when he raised his hand, he saw that he was being bitten by an eel.
Elsewhere Katie was checking among the rocks, until she cried out in pain and pulled her hand out, revealing that there was a crab pressing on her finger.
Lara (dressed as Ariel from the Little Mermaid) was looking for the ring, and came across a sea horse, which handed her one with its tail. The cosplayer smiled and took it.
Elsewhere, Kitty and Stephanie were going to take the same ring, so they started to struggle, until a shark passed in front of them, making them scream while hugging each other.
Don: Some of them might end up dead. Find out when we get back to The Ridonculous Race.
-commercial break-
The camera came back with both girls screaming. But quickly, Stephanie sprang into action and swam in to give one of the sharks a hard hit, which escaped. However, this gave the advantage to Kitty, who grabbed the ring and swam to the surface, while Stephanie could only scream with rage. On the dock, Emma, Devin and Pierce (dressed as Prince Eric) watched the water.
Kitty: Ka-bling.
Lara also came out holding a ring, and shortly after, Carrie came out holding another.
Carrie: I got one.
Emma: Yes.
Devin: Carrie. You are amazing.
The blonde couldn't help but squeal with excitement. Which didn't go unnoticed by the two girls.
Lara: Did you just squeal?
Carrie: What? No, I, I think it was a... a dolphin.
The twin with pigtails sighed
Kitty: You're in love with him.
-confessional -
Kitty: When love is in the air I knowit, I have a super sensitive love detector. And the alarm has been going off a lot lately.
Emma: What are you talking about?
Kitty: Nothing, soo tell me, have you noticed any guys from another team looking your way?
Emma: No.
Kitty started imitating alarm and siren sounds. Emma just walked out.
-End of confessional-
Carrie: But we've been friends for so long and. Anyway, he has a girlfriend so. Please don't say anything, Please.
Kitty: I promise I won't, but maybe someone should.
The pigtailed sister stepped forward.
Lara: Kitty is right, you should try to tell him, at least to feel like you took a rock off your shoulders, keeping it bottled up will only make things harder.
The cosplayer also stepped forward, leaving Carrie thinking about what they said.
Don: As more teams look for rings, our first place skaters say aloha to challenge number 1, and aloha to challenge number 2.
Josee: We'll stay in first place. Look at this.
Josee pulled out the rock.
Josee: A new lucky charm. A Lava rock.
Jacques: We are unstoppable.
The black-haired girl pressed the button.
Josee: It's an "All all". In this Hawaiian wedding ceremony, the teams will have to walk on...
Don: Fire.
The camera panned, showing Don walking barefoot, over a row of charcoal.
Don: Technically coals. In this challenge the brides wear a grass skirt, and the grooms a Leí crown. As they carry their brides over this path of hot coals.
The Presenter began to resent the coals.
Don: It is a test of strength, and honor. -The skirt and necklace began to burn from the charcoal- And if any part of them catches fire you have to start over. Ahhh.
The presenter jumped into the arena.
Don: Once they reach the end untoasted, it's a foot race to the chill zone. Oh great, now I'll have to remove foot model from my resume.
Back underwater, Sthepanie was still searching without success.
Mickey reached into a hole in a rock, but only pulled out an electric eel, which gave him a shock.
Dave took two rings, and then saw that Cameron was searching, so he tapped him on the shoulder and gave him one.
-confessional-
Dave: Help Cameron out of pure compassion. We both have germ stuff and we're not exactly strong. We're not much different, well, except he's a genius, he was in a bubble, he wears glasses, he survived on a radioactive island, he kicked two jocks' asses and he has friends.
Sky: So do you.
Dave: I don't have... wait, really?
Sky: Hey, we're already sharing a lot. In my opinion, you're officially a friend.
Dave blushed a little.
Dave: Thanks Sky.
-end of confessional-
Noah found two rings in a coral, and took them. Upwater, Stephanie came up for air.
Stephanie: Nothing.
The sarcastic boy came out.
Noah: I got 2.
Owen: Yeah.
Stephanie: Don't say a word.
Ryan: I wasn't gonna.
Stephanie grunted, and went back underwater.
Owen: She seems really nice.
The big guy started running to the playground, while Kelly watched the water worriedly. Taylor came out and held up her hand, with a ring.
Kelly: Good girl, now swim to the beach as fast as you can.
Taylor: No rush mom, I'll serve this challenge on a platter with a side order of chipotle.
The girl started swimming at a doggy pace...literally.
Noah was swimming at full speed, until out of nowhere...
Noah: Ahhh, something grabbed my foot. Ahhh. Shark.
Owen: Oh my goodness. NOAH. Somebody help him. Why wasnt I born a mermaid?
Finally, Noah surfaced, and it turns out he had been grabbed by Mickey.
Mickey: Please tell me you're a ring.
Noah: Oh man, I was going to sell this one for cash.
Noah took off one of the rings and gave it to him.
Noah: Here.
Needless to say, Owen was shocked by the action.
Owen: Noah it's… dying.
The camera pans to the beach, with Noah drying his shoes a bit.
Noah: I'm not being nice or anything, it's just that Mickey is so pathetic. Yeah I've been a little distracted by Emma lately, but it's not like he's all cuddly and sweet as a chocolate chip cookie. And suddenly I want to do... good things... for people because I'm falling for... Ahhhh. Give me that ring back.
While the other teams were still preparing, or swimming, the skaters were trying to complete the fire step. Jacques was carrying Josee with one hand, and Josee was holding herself in a pose that balanced her.
Josee: That's it Jacques. Go forward. Just like in the Olympics this is just a ginormous mental game.
Jacques: This challenge is very simple.
Josee: That's right, you're just walking. There is no coal.
Jacques stopped dead in his tracks, and his skirt caught fire.
Jacques: I forgot about the coals.
The blond dropped his partner in the sand and quickly ran to the water to put out the fire. The Surfers began the challenge, with Brody carrying Geoff.
Geoff: Remember when we surfed in the cold wind AND forgot our wet suits? How COLD dude.
Brody: Yeah... Geoff: Yeah... go on please.
Geoff: And that day your tongue stuck to the pole. Or when I spilled that cherry slushie on your shorts. Haha, it was freezing dude.
The team made it to the other side.
Brody: We did it.
Geoff: Well done bro, now let's go to the rest area.
Brody: oh man, I'd love to dip my feet in a tub full of cherry ice cream right now.
More teams were getting ready, Noah is again watching Emma, while Carrie approached Kitty.
Carrie: Hey Kitty, could you help me tie this.
Once the sister started to help her, the blonde whispered.
Carrie: Do you really think I should say something t Devin.
Kitty: Life is short, and he's cute. Maybe you'll get lucky and he'll feel the same way about you.
Carrie thought about it. While Kitty approached Owen.
Kitty: Hey, we're both grooms. Cool.
Owem: Not for me. I'm about to marry a dead person.
Kitty: What?
They both saw Noah.
Owen: He drools, he smiles, he acts sincere. He's really sick.
Kitty: Nah. He just likes my sister.
Owen: But he's all goofy and awkward. Y. Y. Oh.
They both laughed.
Kitty: Yeah. yeah, that's one serious crush.
Others getting ready, were Brains and brawn.
Cameron: I'm sorry we have to resort to you carrying me again.
Brick: Don't worry, soldier. You're useful even if physicality isn't your area.
Sky: Everyone has their own area of performance. And the important thing about teamwork is...
Brick: Using all the skills together for a better job.
The two high-fived, much to Dave's discomfort. Brick carried Cameron and walked to the coal line.
Sky: All right now...
Dave handed her the skirt.
Dave: Put it on. It's my turn to do the heavy lifting for once.
Sky: ummm, I don't know if that's...
Dave: No hesitation.
Sky: ...okay?
Stephanie surfaced once again. Still no ring.
Stephanie: No rings anymore. None.
Ryan: There has to be, Keep looking, come on Steph. You can...
Stephanie: What part of "None" didn't you understand? There are none. 0, none. Less than one.
The athlete's patience began to wear thin.
Ryan: Your race rage its out of control and I'm this close to leaving.
Stephanie: I'm sorry, what? race rage?
Ryan: You're sweet Stephanie. But when things get competitive you turn into a crazy psychotic bull.
Sthepanie: Bulls are male.
Ryan: Whatever. a She-bull.
Don: While Our last place lovebirds exchange sweet words, all the other teams work on the second challenge… well, almost all of them.
The camera shows Kelly watching as Taylor was still having trouble getting to shore.
Kelly: You're doing good sweety. A little faster please.
The camera switched back to the teams in the coal area.
MacArthur: I don't skirt.
Sanders: I knew you would say that.
Junior: I can't wear the skirt. All the kids at school will see it.
Dwayne: Yeah, but if I wear it pal, you'll have to carry me over the hot coals. I'm sure the kids at school wont make a big thing out of it.
Junior: My classmate Larry Binkle spent a whole year being pushied into the girls' locker room, just because his name rhymes with pinkle.
Junior put on the necklace.
Junior: Let's do it.
Chet: rock, scissors,paper'
Lorenzo: You wear it, I won't be the girl.
Chet: And why should I be the girl.
Lorenzo: because... well, rock, paper, scissors, but no second chances, whoever loses, loses.
Chet: Done.
As the stepbrothers started the game, Carrie and Devin approached the charcoal.
Carrie: We are so winning this and...
Before she could continue. Devin carried her in his arms.
Carrie: oh. yup, us so... winning.
Devin: Time to run the walk.
The black-haired man started walking on the coal. Carrie took him by the chin and made him look directly into her eyes.
Carrie: Stay focused on me.
The Ice Dancers returned, this time, Josee was carrying Jacques. and ran past, but had to immediately return to the water, as Jacques' skirt caught fire.
At the rest area, Don was enjoying a coconut cocktail, until the Surfers arrived.
Don: Geoff, Brody. Congratulations, you are today's winners.
Surfers: Oh yeah.
The surfers hugged each other.
Geoff: I love you, man.
Brody: I'd marry you all over again.
Don: I love weddings.
Carrie and Devin came to the end.
Devin: Yeah.
Carrie: Wujuuu.
Josee: Hey losers, move or lose.
The best friends started running, while the ice dancers completed the challenge. So both teams entered into a competition. They were going head to head, until the skaters tripped over a rock.
Don: Carrie and Devin, came in second place.
Devin put a hand on his partner's shoulder, making her blush. The Skaters stepped onto the carpet, needless to say they were not happy.
Don: Jacques, Josee, third place.
-confessional-
Josee: Noooo, not again. Bronze. Worst place. The road of shame is paved with bronze.
Jacques started to cry.
-end of confessional-
Crimson used a makeup brush to turn her grass skirt black.
Ennui: She only wears black, even if it's grass, it must be black grass.
While Brick carried Cameron smoothly, Dave had to do some balancing due to his poor physical ability.
Dave: Almost there, almost there, almost there, almost there, almost there.
Sky: Take it easy Dave, you can do it.
Up ahead, The pros and the sisters were racing to the finish, with a gawking Noah being carried by Owen.
Don: Fourth place (Pros)
Don: Fifth (Sisters)
Both teams (minus Noah) celebrated.
Don: Sixth (Cosplayers)
Don: Seventh (Brains and Brawn)
Don: Eighth (Opposite)
MacArthur walked undisturbed as he carried Sanders on one shoulder. Chet was being carried by Lorenzo.
Lorenzo: Get your armpit out of my face, I can't see.
Chet rolled his eyes and lowered his arm.
Somehow, Junior was keeping Dwayne, who was going as compactly as he could, and behind him, Mickey was carrying Jay, while the latter sneezed through the flowers.
-confessional-
Mickey: We've never heard of Lai leaves before.
Jay: Time to order another medical alert bracelet.
-end of confessional-
Don: Ninth place (Father and son).
Don: Tenth (Stepbrothers)
Don: Eleventh (Cadets).
Kelly carried Taylor, but the skirt began to burn.
Taylor: FIRE.
Kelly quickly ran to the beach and let her daughter, Lara then start throwing sand.
Taylor: Mom. My extensions.
Lucas: I think you should worry more about the burns.
Don: 12 (Masked mens)
Don: 13 (Positivists)
The twins reached the finish line.
Don: Team 14 (Adversity twins)
Don: 15 (Gothics)
Don: 16 (BFFS)
Don: 17 (Rockers)
Kelly finally made it to the finish line.
Don: Team 18 (Mother and daughter).
Kelly: Well honey, it was a little tricky but...
Taylor: YOU. You need to improve your game mother.
Kelly: Taylor honey, we are a team.
Taylor: I know you're not used to winning like I am, but maybe you need to follow my lead because...
Kelly had enough.
Kelly: You've never won anything in your life. Taylor. Never. No trophies, no medals. NO-THING.
Taylor: Wait, what? My room is full of trophies and medals.
Kelly: Because your dad bought a trophy store. What kind of trophy comes in the mail? Or, and guess who paid your coach to lie? yes. Daddy.
Taylor: Contests. I won beauty contests. You can't fake that.
Kelly: Oh honey. When you have money. You can fake anything.
Taylor could only let out a choked sigh, as the other teams watched.
Don: The coal was hot, but that was cold.
Lucas: Cold? That was Stone cold...
The others looked at him in confusion.
Shane: Yeah. There's a reason that line never won you the audience.
Lucas: Me lleva.
Meanwhile, Stephanie and Ryan were barely making headway on the charcoal.
Stephanie: You smell like smoked meat.
Ryan: You shouldn't insult someone who can drop you in the burning coals.
Stephanie: If you do. I'll tell everyone your pecs are implants.
Ryan: My pecs are real.
Best friends and cosplayers saw them.
Lara: Oh my gosh, they're exploding.
Lara: Yeah.
Carrie: Umm, Devin. I'm... I'm really glad, that we're here together and...
Devin: Me too, it's so great to be here with you and not with Shelly.
Carrie: Really?
Devin: Yeah. She and I would probably be like them, but you and Me? Never. We're inseparable... And-and that's the perfect thing about being best friends. Um, we'll always be friends. Forever... um, I'm gonna go to sleep. R-rest, partner.
The Black-haired man left, leaving Carrie with the Cosplayers.
Carrie: What just happened?
Lara and Pierce looked at each other, then lifted their shoulders. While Ryan and Stephanie finally made it to the carpet.
Don: Stephanie, Ryan. Sorry, you're the last team to arrive.
Stephanie: Nooooooo.
Ryan: We're eliminated? Great, because baby. You are. Eliminated from this too.
Stephanie: Are you breaking up with me? On national television?
Don: International actually, we're very huge in Croatia. But I must tell you that...
Stephanie: You can't leave me, I'm leaving you.
Don: See, here's the funny thing...
Ryan: Listen to me...
Don: IT'S A NON-ELIMINATION ROUND. Congratulations, you're still in the race.

-BONUS SCENE-
The opposites were enjoying the hotel pool, Dave was wearing a blue-gray shorts, while Sky had a purple two-piece swimsuit.
Dave: This is really worth it.
Sky: You said it.
Stephanie: You can't end it that way.
The two turned around and saw Ryan and Stephanie arguing, the purplehead ended up walking away, while Ryan sat on a bench near them.
Sky: Ryan? What happened?
Ryan: I took your advice and broke up with Stephanie.
Sky: What? I never said to break up with her. Just explain to her that you were uncomfortable.
The athlete sighed.
Ryan: I tried, but I couldn't take it anymore. A relationship shouldn't consist of one dominating the other.
Sky: Well, if you think it was the right decision.
Dave: Not to interrupt. But what are you going to do about the race.
Ryan: I don't know. I guess I'll have to talk to her later.
Sky put a hand on his shoulder. Despite the fact that her situation with Keith was completely different than Ryan's with Stephanie, she understood his position. Dave saw this and again felt as if something was disturbing him.
Dave: Sorry, I'm going to go get something to eat, are you guys up for it?
Ryan: Nah, thanks anyway.
Sky shook her head. Dave went inside the hotel and went into the bathroom to wet his face.
Dave (thought): First Brick, and now Ryan Why do I feel like this every time someone comes over to talk to Sky? I-I can't like her, she's in a whole different league than me, plus she has a boyfriend. I-I can't. Or can I?
The boy looked at himself in the mirror. And to his head came back the image of Sky coming out of the water in Calanque de Maubois. The moment when he helped him relax in the catacombs of Paris, when they ended up on top of each other in the elevator of the tower in Canada, and their conversation on the streets of Brazil.

In this episode, most of the plots remained the same, again I polished up the step-siblings one a bit to make their eventual collaboration better.
The new carriage layouts allowed me to squeeze in some conversations, for example, Father and son with the Positivists, winking at how Dwayne and Junior see Pahkitew Island (and I know what I'll do with that scene).
We also have Sky taking a piece in the plot of Ryan and Stephanie, who are on their rockiest ground right now. And similar things can be said for mother and daughter.
We also have major roles for the two teams that were a bit on the side.
Cosplayers are getting involved in Carrie and Devin's plot, let's see how it helps going forward.
While Brick talking to Sky, stirs up some discomfort in Dave. And he's not the only one, as Ryan also generates that annoyance. It seems that our germaphobe its realizing what's wrong with him. What will his actions be now?
The teams that came up on the short side this time around were the B.F.F.S, Masked and Positivists. But still, I gave them each a little moment.
In the next episode, we'll go to the land of the sheikhs. For a good game, set and cleanup.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and please leave your reviews, I appreciate the critique.
