Episode 1, Part 3 – "We're Going Home Country" – Sami


Halifax Public Gardens

Timmy & Chloe – Neighbors

The show went back as we saw the two kids trying to make another conversation wherein the latter reassures the former.

"Come on, Timmy! Please participate with me!" Chloe begged, knelt down and shakes her both fists.

"No! Why would they make a challenge about oranges?!" Timmy replied with anger on his voice. "Don't you see that I have an orange scare?!"

Chloe sighed and closed her eyes, trying to fight on her mind to stay alive or to give up.

Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"I gotta do something that will make Timmy contribute to the challenge! Or else, the Express Passes will be blown to ashes!" Chloe said.

"Okay… Timmy…" Chloe began speaking again, while attempts to continue on supporting her partner, she saw the Father and Son duo, making their way as well. "Uh-oh!"

"Oh, they're here…" Timmy stated, however, Chloe sprang him up unexpectedly as she was holding the collar of her t-shirt, making him bewildered. "Chloe? What are you doing?"

"Timmy, listen to me! This is the time to get serious! I know you hate oranges, right?"

Timmy didn't respond.

"There's a difference between a phobia and an allergy, you have a phobia. So that means, you can drink the orange! If you keep me on insisting since a team is here, then… then… we'll lose the Express Passes!"

Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"She's right! I don't wanna lose already at the first leg! I really want those Express Passes, to be given to us. Since Chloe insists me of doing this, I guess there's nothing to do to ignore it…" Timmy said.

Timmy sighed in defeat and replied. "Okay, I will…"

Chloe dropped her down suddenly and cheered. "Yes! I know you won't give up! Come on, let's get first!"

"Okay, okay!" Timmy exclaimed.


Angus L. Macdonald Bridge

Some teams arrived there where the volunteers geared up their way up to the support of the bridge.

Raven & Starfire – Partners-in-Crime

"Come on, we don't want to lose to others!" Raven told Starfire, who currently climbs up in the support.

Leslie & Penny – Cousins

"Just hold tight and keep your eyes shut!" Leslie told Penny, who nodded as she began climbing to the ladder.

"I know, it's not like you can't do this challenge," Penny replied, chuckling at her joke to her cousin.

Leslie & Penny (Confessional)

"Jokes are meant to be funny but using it to another person's part of the body. There's between a line to those." Leslie said, addressing the joke of Penny.

"But it's supposed to be funny, not making fun of yourself!" Leslie reasoned.

"Uh-huh, very funny of you on how you said that."

"It's supposed to be for fun! I swear!" Penny raised up her hands, promising to her partner, who seemed unsure to the assurance.


Halifax Citadel Hill

Clarence & Jeff – currently in 3rd Place

"Walk your way to Halifax Public Gardens… and take a break to drink several flavors of smoothies!" Clarence announced. "Ooh, yeah! Time to drink some juice!"

"I hope it's sanitized!" Jeff wished.

"Come on, let's ask someone for directions."

They left the clue box as they proceed to their next place. Within a minute, another team showed up as the teenager carried his partner and the same man grabs a clue from the box.

Sanjay & Craig – currently in 4th Place

"Come on… I think this should replenish you, Craig." Sanjay said.

"Really? What… is it?" Craig replied within the coughs.

"Juice!"

"Oh, yeah!" Craig rises up and jumped in excitement. However, he forgot that it was cold still at Halifax as he covers himself quickly and violently shivers. "I should… never… do that…"

"Come on, let's get out of here!" Sanjay picks up his partner as they left the clue box alone.


Halifax Public Gardens

The first two teams are facing in a race for the Express Passes. Two teams were silently tasting and speculating their guesses on the flavors of the smoothies.

"This tastes like…" Steve clicking his tongue to reexamine the taste. "…orange."

"Then this one looks like Mango…" Stan tasted his cup. "I think we got the answers."

They began picking their choices to the 5 cups that they tried. After a few seconds, they locked in their answer.

"Okay, I hope it's right…" Steve muttered.

The employee quietly checks their answers as she shook her head, making their answers, null and void.

"It's not correct."

Stan & Steve – 2/5 flavors

"Ah, shoot!" Stan cursed.

While Timmy & Chloe, slowly climbing up to their guessing portion as they took their last shot, hopefully.

Timmy grimaced when he recognized the flavor. "O…range!"

"Tripleberry means there are three of berries buried at this cup, right?" Chloe asked, unsure to her theory, which is actually correct. "Got your guess?"

"Yep…" Timmy nodded.

They assembled the cups and their guesses as the employee checks over their speculation. After that, the employee shook her head, rejecting their answer.

"It's not correct."

Timmy & Chloe – 3/5 flavors

"Ah!" Timmy groaned in reaction. "This sucks… more oranges to drink!"

"Come on, Timmy! Let's move quickly!" Chloe ordered.


Angus L. Macdonald Bridge

Both Starfire and Penny arrived at the top of the bridge where they began scattering the city via binoculars.

"I wonder where's that special flag?" Penny asked herself, humming in thought.

"There's a flag over there, a white," Starfire stated and removed the binoculars to her eyes. "I don't know if I could trust that. Let's just see if I can find something more interesting…"

Below them, Eleanor is currently climbing towards the searching point under her helmet camera.

"Whew, looking great so far…" She muttered while huffing.

Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)

"One of the reasons why I joined this competition personally is to try some great outdoor activities," Eleanor confessed. "If you can add extreme to the list, that would be fitter to my active and spirited personality."

"I see the light…" Eleanor said, covering herself from the rays of sunshine. "Wow, that could blind me actually."

The sturdy chipmunk made her way up to the top as she picked up a binocular to start searching.


Halifax Citadel Hill

Both Kevin & Sami arrived at the sacred fortress as they looked around to the cannon models to statues.

"If we're doing a challenge here… this won't gonna fulfill my satisfaction at this place." Sami told Kevin.

"As if I gonna like this overall? It's fine as long it isn't disrupting the progress of us, mentally." Kevin replied.

"There's the clue."

Sami snatches a clue and gives it to Kevin to open it as he removed his beret to wipe the excess sweat from his hair.

Kevin & Sami – currently in 5th Place

"Oh, what do you know? A drinking game." Kevin declared, unsatisfied at this challenge.

"Really?" Sami scans the details. "That's cool but I don't drink smoothies."

"Alright, let's just get this over with."

The wrestlers ran away from the clue while another team showed up, they saw the predecessor team running away from the bunker as they opened the clue.

Emma & Noah – currently in 6th Place

"Okay… a drink guessing game. I think you got this, Noah." Emma said, smirking when she learned the next challenge.

"Oh, boy… I guess if it doesn't have anything that threatens my nervous system, I can ace it." Noah responded with disenchantment over his face.

"Oh yeah, I actually forgot about that," Emma replied, scratching her hair sheepishly.

Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"I have one too many life-threatening allergies that I passed over to the production. So, in case if I have encounter one of them, I just told myself that I can deal with one shit at a time." Noah said.


Halifax Public Gardens

Additional two teams certainly arrived at the same time as they picked out the vacated drinking stations and started drinking. While for the other teams, they bought more additional attempts and are currently battling it out for the first place.

Stan & Steve – 4th Attempt

"Okay… I think this is Strawberry Kiwi. It tastes a little bit sour." Steve presumed as he put down his guess in front of the cup.

"This one is uhhh… Piña Colada?" Stan said unsurely, scratching his side.

"Okay, I think that's it."

They secured their final answers as the employee shook her head once more, dismissing their answers.

"It's not correct."

Stan & Steve – 3/5 flavors

"Ah, biscuits. We will never guess this in an instance!" Stan reacted. "And I'm also filled with juices around my gut."

"Hold your bladder for a moment and we'll take this challenge determinedly!" Steve replied with confidence, clenching his fist to prove it.

Timmy & Chloe – 5th Attempt

"Are you okay, Timmy?" Chloe asked, looking at her partner, who violently coughed. "You really hate oranges so badly."

"Oh, heck yeah, I am! But I'll put the food under the table!" Timmy replied, grimacing at the taste of his despised fruit.

"Huh?" Chloe was uncertainly clueless at what he just said.

"I'm gonna guess this, so we can get out of it and end my misery, please?!" He groaned as he began picking guesses carefully.

Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"The way he looks and feels about the oranges," Chloe said, clicking her tongue in disappointment. "I mean, oranges are healthy and fruity! And actually, Timmy's performance is actually good, he could actually use it as an audition for a talent show! But the irony of that… is myself…"

"Can you check out the answers, please?" Timmy ordered the worker to inspect their answers.

The worker obliged and began inspecting it as the moments passed by, the more anxious the pair were. After a careful observation, the worker announced.

"Yes, it's correct."

"YES!" Chloe celebrated enthusiastically as she embraces Timmy tightly for his performance. "Timmy, you did it! We did it!"

While they celebrated, the other teams were watching them in disbelief, disappointment, and satisfaction.

Timmy & Chloe – currently in 1st Place

Chloe seizes the clue from the worker as she opens it, she became excited once again.

"Make your way to the first PIT STOP!"

Phil was now seen, looking at the sea and looks in front of the camera to narrate their next destination.

"Teams will now take a taxi and will proceed to find me here at the rooftop of Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market, the oldest continuously operating farmer's market in North America having been founded in 1750 and is the first Pit Stop for this race. The first team to check in will win an express pass for themselves…" He showed one of two passes, then shows the second pass. "…and another express pass to give out to another desiring team. While the last team to find me here, will be eliminated."

The camera zooms out the sight to reveal his initial position, standing in the middle of the rooftop of the sea market.

"Come on, we don't have time to lose!" Chloe invites Timmy to run along as they went outside, finding a taxi on a lucky standpoint. "To the Seaport Farmers Market?"

"Okay." The driver nodded, accepting the location within his radar.

They entered the taxi and moved out of the public garden at a fast pace.

"Ugh!" Timmy groaned in reaction. "That was an excruciating task, not gonna lie."


Halifax Citadel Hill

Starfire & Raven; and Leslie & Penny arrived simultaneously at the citadel where they sprinted towards the clue box and picked out one clue for each other.

Starfire & Raven – currently in 7th Place

"Okay, walk your way to Halifax Public Gardens…" Raven reads the first detail.

Leslie & Penny – currently in 8th Place

"…and guess 5 drinks from 10 of them…" Leslie reads it further.

"That sounds fun!" Penny reacted excitingly.

"Okie dokie, let's go!"


Angus L. Macdonald Bridge

Lawrence was the only one standing on the top support of the bridge as he caught an object to his interest.

"Ooh, lawdy, looks I got the target shot in the head." Lawrence quickly figuring the place in a nick of time. "Gotta get out of it before the time's past over midnight." He chuckled as he descends down to the ladder.

Skipping out the climbing portion, Lawrence got off and called Linda to come over. While the last team, Charlie & Viola saw them in a distance.

"It's team mom and dad! Are we in last?!" Viola reacted in disbelief.

"I think so. Better get moving!" Charlie urgently exited the taxi as she went to the parent team. "Hey, guys? Are you done?"

"Uh, yes," Lawrence answered. "I think you're in last though."

"Uh-oh!" Charlie reacted surprisingly. "Viola! Come on!"

"I'm coming!" Viola replied as she negotiated the taxi driver to stay for them. "Thanks!"

"Good luck, kids! I hope you're going to get this!" Linda told Charlie, who happily nodded.

"Thanks! Good luck too!"

Charlie & Viola (Confessional)

"I think we found a good team under the team of mom and dad!" Charlie admitted. "And I like naming them that! I could only think of Mom and Dad, who could be watching this right now! Hi, mom and dad! I hope you cheer us up!"

"Agreed on that sentiment, sister. They could be a great team. Anyways, hi, mama and papa!" Viola added, immediately waves to the camera, sending a message to their parents.


Point Pleasant Park

Eleanor & Theodore – Best Friends

"Did you see anything there, Theo?" Eleanor asked.

"Uhhh… no." Theodore quickly answered. "How about you?"

"I don't see anything or a clue box."

"If we can't see it, maybe we are in the wrong place?" Theodore asked.

"Uh-oh! You're right, this ain't the right place!" Eleanor reacted in a panicking manner. "Oh no! I've screwed the place!"

Luckily for them, they didn't exit the place as they wandered around the roads around Point Pleasant Park.

"Wait a minute!" Eleanor brightened up and asked the driver. "Can you go to the place where a castle is standing?"

"You mean headquarters?" The driver answered in doubt.

"I think it looks like a battleground!"

"Citadel Hill?"

"Yeah, that one! Can you take us there?" Eleanor pleaded.

The driver only nodded in response as she sighed in relief. However, she felt bad for Theodore as she took them to a wrong or possibly in a distant place.

Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)

"Now I feel bad for Theodore! We've landed in a wrong place and we're screwed!" Eleanor felt uncomfortable on saying her confession. "I just hope we won't be last and someone's out there in trouble."


Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market

A team was spotted arriving at the market where they need to find the right way towards the Pit Stop.

"There's an arrow over there!" Chloe sighted one as they began running inside the mall.

After a few minutes of running, they found the upstairs towards the Pit Stop, thanks to the marked arrows. They opened the door of the rooftop and saw Phil with the greeter, waiting for them to stomp the mat. As they did that, they grinned to the older one, in front of them.

"Good day! I am the owner of the Seaport Farmers' Market! Welcome to Halifax!" The greeter saluted them.

"Thank you so much! Lovely place." Chloe salutes back.

Phil was looking at them nonchalantly and announced.

"Timmy & Chloe… you are team number one!"

Timmy & Chloe – 1st Place; arrived at 6:15pm

"YES! OH MY GOD!" Chloe proceeds to grasp Timmy's collar, who reacted in a daze. "Did you hear that? We're first!"

"You're kidding, right?" Timmy asked, still in bewilderment.

"I'm not," Phil answered and continues to address their victory. "As the winners of this leg, you've won… EXPRESS PASSES! One for you, it can be used to surpass any challenge that you think will be harder for you both to finish and you are eligible to use it until the 8th leg of the race."

The host offered the first express pass and gave it to Timmy, who is still stupefied at the announcement and stares at it for a little longer. While Phil gave the second pass to Chloe, who seemed to be flabbergasted as she receives the prize.

"Then the second Express Pass. You have the opportunity to give the second pass to another team, who you think deserves to hold the possession. I'll give you two more legs to decide on that."

"Wow!" Chloe raised the express pass upward. "This is great! We can give this to another team!"

"But we don't have the time to decide now," Timmy commented, breaking his trance, a few seconds ago.

"Alright, Timmy! Let's decide next time!"

Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"I still cannot believe that we finished first!" Timmy exclaimed.

"And because of that, we got the express passes!" Chloe exposes the two passes. "We're kinda confident after that, we'll try to stay on track and we keep working hard, so we can't be at the bottom."

"Yep, that's the same thing that goes through my mind right now!" Timmy nodded in agreement.

They walked out of Phil's sight as they continue to talk.

"I need to pee, actually." Timmy elaborated.

"Okay…" Chloe chuckled at that statement. "Let's go to the bathroom and rest afterward!"

"We'll rest in the bathroom?" Timmy asked jokingly.

"No! We'll go to the bathroom first then we rest at the rest house or a hotel!"

Timmy chuckled in response. "I'm just messing with 'ya!"

"Ahhh!" Chloe shrieked. "I really hate you for making a joke like that!"


Halifax Public Gardens

Emma & Noah – 2nd Attempt

"I assumed that this is Mango Pineapple Acai." Noah speculated, was looking at his cup.

"Are you sure about that?" Emma asked.

"Unsurely sure."

Emma shrugged afterward as they checked their predictions to the worker, who swiftly rejects their answer.

Emma & Noah – 3/5 flavors

"It ain't the acai fruit, isn't it?" Emma asked.

"Unsurely sure." Noah shrugged in response.

Sanjay & Craig – 4th Attempt

"I can't even tell if this is strawberry or raspberry?" Sanjay was currently drinking a Tripleberry flavor.

"Isn't that Tripleberry?" Craig asked, his current condition was far from worse. "I think mine is way delicious – Mango Pineapple!"

"Okay, I think I have an answer for that!"

They quickly scrambled the answers and gave their bet to the employee, who also gave a decline for their clue.

Sanjay & Craig – 4/5 flavors

"Ah, dang it!" Sanjay exclaimed. "Which one should we need to change?"

Clarence & Jeff – 6th Attempt

Clarence was slurping the cup he was holding on. "I think I know what it is!"

"I think mine as well." Jeff took a small sip on his. "Better get the job done then I'll get sanitize after!"

They both placed their guesses behind the cup as the employee gave a thumbs up. Clarence & Jeff, especially Clarence becomes elated when he heard the good news. The employee offered the clue to Jeff, who accepted it and opens it.

Clarence & Jeff – currently in 2nd Place

"Make your way to the first Pit Stop! Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market…" Jeff reads their next place of interest. "Better be clean than getting the stench!" He applied his body with his body spray. "Come on, Clarence!"

"I'm on my way!"

Stan & Steve – currently in 3rd Place

"Finally!" Stan sighed in relief, wiping off his excess sweat on his face. "That took long enough for five freaking cups!"

"Make your way to the first Pit Stop… the last team to check in will be eliminated! Okay, we're out of this!" Steve proclaimed.

Kevin & Sami – currently in 4th Place

"Thank you!" Sami receives the clue from the employee. "The Farmers' Market is the Pit Stop… okay then…"

"Did we even told the taxi to stay with us?" Kevin asked, being forgetful was his downside to his profile.

"Of course, we didn't! We just rushed here directly."

"Ah, shit…" Kevin stroke his face with his palm in embarrassment. "Alright, let's go find a taxi."


Halifax Citadel Hills

Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 10th Place

"Oh, Theo! We're gonna drink smoothies!" Eleanor declared.

"Really?! Oh, boy! Yay!" Theodore reacted in an ecstatic mood.

Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)

"When we found out that we're going to take a drinking challenge, now I feel relieved after that big mistake that I almost throw! Now I'm confident that we're not going to be the first one to be booted off the race!" Eleanor said.

"Yay for free smoothies!" Theodore exclaimed, raising his fist up above his head, making Eleanor chuckle.

Charlie & Viola – currently in Last Place

"A drinking challenge? Fine by me." Charlie said, shrugging after revealing the next challenge.

"Okay, sounds good to me.


Halifax Public Gardens

Linda & Lawrence – currently in 9th Place

"Oh, holy cow! The kids are still here!" Lawrence stated.

"Now that's refreshing to my eyes," Linda replied, making a joke unexpectedly, making her husband laugh.

"Now that's the spirit, hon!"

While they began their guessing game, the other teams were having difficulties on guessing the flavors.

Leslie & Penny – 2/5 flavors

"No? Okay." Leslie said.

Raven & Starfire – 3/5 flavors

"Nope. Drinks are much complicated than I expected!" Starfire said.

"Life is but a complex paradigm shift," Raven said cryptically.


Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market

A team was seen running to the door as someone opens it and ran as fast as they could to check in at the mat. They were sweating profusely.

"Clarence & Jeff, you are team number two," Phil announced.

Clarence & Jeff – 2nd Place; arrived at 6:35pm

"Boo-yeah!" Clarence exclaimed as he shares his fives with Jeff, who quickly lathers his hand with alcohol.

"What's with the alcohol anxiety?" Phil asked Jeff curiously.

"He's just a germaphobe and he hates being handled by hundreds of thousands of germs over his body!" Clarence answered the question instead, nudging his friend, who frowned.

"Oh, I see. Anyways, congratulations for being second place at this leg."

"Thanks!"

After a few minutes, another team arrived to the mat and they greeted both the local greeter and the host.

Kevin & Sami – 3rd Place; arrived at 6:42pm

"I mean it's a leg in Canada. Why are we in third place?!" Kevin complained.

"It's not a big deal, Kevin. We did badly at the drinking game." Sami reasoned out.

"The irony isn't cool, but at least the other Canadians didn't finish first."

"I can live with that news."

Taking out a pinch of minutes to the time, a team also arrived at the mat.

Stan & Steve – 4th Place; arrived at 6:49pm

"Okay, okay, not a bad position to start too," Steve said, relieved that they weren't at the bottom of the pack.

"Bad position? You mean we're talking about…"

"Not that context, dad. We're in a T.V. show." Steve replied, scowling over his dad's bad attempt at taking the context out of his statement.


Halifax Public Gardens

All of the teams are now at the same place when both Eleanor & Theodore; and Charlie & Viola arrived in unison as they quickly undertook the challenge.

Eleanor & Theodore – 2nd Attempt

"Wow, we better need to do more time to think," Theodore said.

"Yeah, I know. I never thought they had varieties of fruits here. I thought it would be easy as a rainbow." Eleanor replied, admitting to her first impression of the challenge.

They began guzzling their drinks as they progress.

Linda & Lawrence – 3rd Attempt

"Okay, I know what we're missing out, hon," Lawrence told Linda.

"Same here," Linda added.

They drink their smoothies with ease, trying not to be pressured over the challenge.

Sanjay & Craig – 7th Attempt

"I think I know what this is," Sanjay announced. "It's Tripleberry!"

"Of course, it is tripleberry. It just says on the name itself." Craig commented, annoyed at the late realization.

"Okay, I think I know what we missing out."

They put their final guess in front of the cups. The employee immediately approving their answers by a thumbs up.

"Okay! Now we're talking!" Sanjay exclaimed cheerfully.

Sanjay & Craig – currently in 5th Place

"Make your way to the first Pit Stop… Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market!" Sanjay reads the next place of interest silently.

"Come on before I'm gonna get sick again!" Craig ordered impatiently as they left off the park.

Raven & Starfire – 6th Attempt

"Okay, here goes nothing." Starfire hoped that they got the correct answers this time around.

As if her wish came true, it was accurate. They all got the right answer as Starfire sighed in defeat while Raven picks the clue from the worker's grasps.

Raven & Starfire – currently in 6th Place

"It's the Pit Stop. Better hurry before doomsday comes upon us." Raven said.

"Okay then."

Emma & Noah – currently in 7th Place

The employee accepted their answer as she gave the clue to Emma who promptly seizes it from the hands of the employee.

"Oh, finally…" Noah snorted in a cynical way. "Fruitful challenge isn't the solution for a victory."

"Make your way to the first Pit Stop… Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market!" Emma reads the important detail to Noah. "Okay… let's go…"

Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"We know that we guarantee a place that is not in the top three! But at least, we are not the eliminated team now!" Emma said.

"Yeah, but at least, they should give a shot on a different challenge rather than a gulp challenge," Noah suggested. "Like carrying a shopping cart filled with groceries, or at least, make a cooking challenge, for my sake!"

"At least, we heard that pink guy and the blonde girl got the express passes. Now that's music to our ears."

"Since they won, I'd think of something that can convince them to procure the other express pass. But let them cherish their victory for a while and take that prize with ease."

Charlie & Viola – 1st Attempt

"Aw, shucks!" Viola exclaimed. "This is harder than I thought!"

"But we'll try to overcome this task quickly! Also, we need to make a guess." Charlie said after taking a sip from her cup.

They made up their decision and they locked their answers. After inspecting their answers, the employee rejected their answer.

"It's not correct."

Charlie & Viola – 4/5 flavors

"Aww, man! We'll never get this after the first turn!" Viola reacted anxiously.

"Well, we have no choice but to keep trying," Charlie replied with a shrug.

Charlie & Viola (Confessional)

Charlie scratches her nape first before she confessed. "Okay, I'm not sure about this but I'm kinda mystified by Viola's silliness, is there even a right word for that? I'm uncertain if she's acting up to make me pressured all around or her drama's all au naturel and real."

Leslie & Penny – 5th Attempt

"This one is… Strawberry?" Leslie drinks a medium volume of the mysterious cup.

"Yes!" Penny cried as she found the right flavor assumingly. "Strawberry!"

Unknown to her, Leslie took the answer of Penny seriously as she moved on to the next cup, in which she took a drink of it.

"Is this… Pineapple?" The flower girl asked Penny unsurely.

"Yep…" Penny answered, but was referring to the potato girl's drink.

"Okay then…" Leslie had an answer, clearly, her guesses weren't bright and spot-on. "Let's answer this…"

They got their answers sheltered as the employee said no to both, declining their answer instantly.

Leslie & Penny – 3/5 flavors

"Really?!" Leslie reacted in an upsetting tone. "How can we mess up this one?!"

"I-I don't know! I thought this was a simple challenge. But we're still here for like… 30 minutes?!" Penny reacted, also became upset at this moment.

Linda & Lawrence – 4th Attempt

"I'm not sure if this is one of the strawberry flavors or the Tripleberry one…" Lawrence said, confused at choosing his answer.

"Then think what's on your mind right now," Linda told her husband calmly.

"Okay then… it's Tripleberry."

Lawrence puts the final answer to the final cup as they waited for the worker's verdict. The verdict from the smoothie judge is a veto, pretty means a denial.

"It's not correct."

Linda & Lawrence – 4/5 flavors

"Okay, I need to freshen up my noggin' right now," Lawrence said, rubbing both sides of his temple.

Eleanor & Theodore – 3rd Attempt

"I thought we could snap this challenge like a villain who holds a gauntlet on his left hand," Eleanor said, still not believing that they aren't done up to this point.

"No big deal! I can drink however I wanted!" Theodore said, taking a full volume of the unknown drink. "I can drink whatever I want!"

"Theodore!" Eleanor chuckled at her partner's silliness. "Of course, you would say that! Come on, let's finish this!"

"Okie dokie!" Theodore nodded, removing the excess juice stains on his attire.

"Raven & Starfire, I'm pleased to tell you that you are team number five," Phil announced, gesturing the said number on his hand.

Raven & Starfire – 5th Place; arrived at 7:14pm

"Wow! Really?!" Starfire was shocked when hearing about the news as she told Raven. "We're number five!"

"That's nice," Raven replied nonchalantly until she smiled afterward. "Even though I didn't even use any spells but that's lucky enough that fortune stroke us with a lucky charm."

Another team was sighted from the main entrance of the sea market as they follow every marked arrow, guiding them into a safe position as they stomp the mat simultaneously.

"You are team number six." Phil declared with wide-opened hands and asked them. "How do you feel about your current position for this race so far?"

Emma & Noah – 6th Place; arrived at 7:19pm

"It's good so far," Emma answered. "No perilous activities so far, so we're good."

"But I'd expect that as long as this race continues, we might be experiencing one of them," Noah said, keeping his prediction intact.

"Yes, you're right there," Phil replied, nodding to Noah's remark. "Expect the unexpected. Be ready what's coming for you at the future legs, it could be certainly easy or it could be extremely challenging, between of them, and make sure you bring your patience at all times. The race could take you on possibly a whole day or in half."

"We'll take note to that," Noah commented, obliging the reminder to his head. "I guess I got overwhelmed by my expectations for this race and I'll need to act like a competitor, just for this one lucky instance of an opportunity!"

Emma chuckled at her boyfriend's smart and competitive statement as she directly sent her to the heavens momentarily as they kissed fervently.


Robie Street – Shell Gas Station

Unfortunately for one team, the taxi driver stopped for a moment to take a refill for his cab as the unlucky team was waiting and looking outside every second, anxiously and impatiently.

"Okay, so I see that we're in a gas station and the driver took a refill for his taxi…" Sanjay stated the current situation. "…in the worst time possible!"

"This is gonna be bad!" Craig said, shivering and sharing the same sentiment as Sanjay. "He doesn't even know… that we're… in a race!"

"Damn it, I should've told him or we should take another taxi!"

"No, Sanjay! Taking another one… might take… forever…" Craig replied instantly between wheezes.

"You're right. But how long are we going to wait for it to be full?! This bugs me out!" Sanjay said, began to be annoyed by every second when he looked over to the gas meter of the vehicle.

His frustrating moment was caught by the camera as it was the right time to call for a commercial break as the screen turned into darkness, pausing the current regular programming.


A/N: Uh-oh! Looks like a team is currently stranded at a gas station! The question is:

Will they survive elimination or the other teams at the back will get removed instead?

Anyways, congratulations to Timmy & Chloe for winning the Express Passes! Well done! *cues the audience clap sound effect*

Who do you think deserves to be given the second Express Pass? Why do you think they deserve it?

At the next chapter, we will find out and determine who is the unluckiest team for this season. Who will it be? Share your predictions.

Until then, cya~!

R&R!
