Episode 1, Part 4 – "We're Going Home Country" – Sami
Robie Street – Shell Gas Station
Sanjay & Craig – Adoptive Brothers
The camera continues to cover the pump-inducing segment where the aforementioned team was taking their mild tirade against the driver, who was clueless to their frustrating episode.
"Does it take long for this taxi to refill?" Craig began, asking for any answers, but to no avail.
"I have no clue," Sanjay answered for his freezing buddy.
Sanjay & Craig (Confessional)
"I didn't think we would be that irritated. I don't know if he took a pee after the driver filled the gas!" Sanjay said.
"Now I know where that 'time is gold' thing would make sense for," Craig added.

Leslie & Penny – 6th Attempt
"Ugh!" Leslie reacted annoyingly. "This thing makes me full under my pot!"
"Come on, don't give up already! I know you can release it later." Leslie responded, reassures her partner to finish the task.
"Okay!" The flowery creature forcefully sips a full drink of a smoothie to her mouth. "I only tasted orange here! I… am… so… full!"
Charlie & Viola – 3rd Attempt
"Okay, we have to plan out something to get out of here!" Viola reminded Charlie, who was taking consecutive drinks of her smoothie.
"But mind-reading isn't allowed here!" Charlie responds.
"Not that, silly. But mind-reading is different than brainstorming, right?"
"Yeah… sooo…?"
Charlie & Viola (Confessional)
"She just loves to make fun of me." Viola simply admitted.
Eleanor & Theodore – 4/5 flavors
"It's not correct." The employee gave her verdict to the chipmunks, who were dissatisfied at hearing the news.
"Okay, I think we know four of them, right?" Eleanor asked Theodore.
"Yeah, I think we know them. But the fifth one's so difficult!" Theodore replied. "But hey, I still have the chance to taste more!"
"Theodore! Focus on the game, not on the drinks!" Eleanor said with venom, evoking herself to her partner.
"Okay then!" Theodore shrugged in response.
Linda & Lawrence – 5th Attempt
Lawrence drank his smoothie cup and realizes when he picked up the flavor from his tongue. "Hold off for a second! Oh, blimey!"
"What is it?" Linda asked curiously.
"I think I've seen the mistake, dear. I'm a few sandwiches away for a picnic!"
Linda & Lawrence (Confessional)
"So we're picking out the answers then we realized that we answered the same thing all over again. We've been cocked up, so badly!" Lawrence confessed.
"Let's switch this Mango Pineapple Acai to the other Mango Pineapple," Linda suggested.
"Oh, absolutely then. This might be the game changer." Lawrence replied, replacing their former answer into a new one.
"Miss?" Linda called the worker, who quietly checks their answer. "Yes!"
Linda & Lawrence – currently in 8th Place
"Cheers, mate!" Lawrence said, receiving the clue and shook hands with the worker.
"Now let's see what do we have here now?" Linda said when her husband opens up the clue. "Make your way to the first Pit Stop… Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market… ohhh…"
"Now let's find that yellow cab!"
While they left, the other teams were now in a rushing pace, trying to escape elimination.
"Uh-oh! Three of us left!" Viola said, squinting her eyes as she counts the team that has left in the garden.
"Come on, we got to think about the final answer! Quick!" Eleanor reminded Theodore.
"Okay!" Theodore responded with a nod.
"Come on, we don't wanna get the boot!" Penny said, urging her cousin to step up.
Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market
Sanjay & Craig – 7th Place; arrived at 7:45pm
"What happened to you guys?" Phil asked the team.
"We're just waiting for that driver to finish his peeing at the restroom! It's ridiculous to see him, waiting for him for like 5 minutes for a pee break!" Sanjay answered with a rant.
"And are you okay, Craig? You're like freezing into thin ice."
"I'm fine…" Craig answered, coughing violently. "It's just the usual weather…"
"I would love to continue the conversation but I think it's time for Craig to take a decent, warm rest. And congratulations again."
"Thanks! And will do, cap!" Sanjay answered, added with a salute to both Phil and the greeter, making them chuckle in the process.

Leslie & Penny – 7th Attempt
"Are you ready?" Penny asked Leslie, who was acting like a drunken person, due to the volume of drinks that they consumed.
"Yeah!" Leslie reacted and raised her cup.
They made their guesses clearly as they waited for the employee to give them the final decision, at least for the cousins.

"No. It's not correct."
Leslie & Penny – 4/5 flavors
"Ah! Dang it! Ahhh!" Leslie shrieking madly, almost losing her mind at the challenge. "How can it be wrong?!"
"I swear that there's something wrong with these drinks… or us!" Penny reacted.
Eleanor & Theodore – 5th Attempt
"Okay, are you done with anything, Theo?" Eleanor asked fumingly.
"Yeah! I think I finally know what this is!" Theodore answered, was referring to his drink.
"Okay… let's see what you're thinking of." Eleanor said, looking at Theodore attentively as she crossed her arms.
Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)
"I know I am different from the others, according to my appearance, just because I like sports and people assumed that I'm acting tough. Nope! Wrong answer." Eleanor said and continued. "I'm kinda critical at deciding things, so I let Theodore guessed the fifth drink."
"There!" Theodore declared, picking his answer to the mystery flavor of the smoothie. "Can you check it, please?"
The worker began scanning their answers, after a minute of suspenseful waiting, they earned a thumbs up from the employee.
"Yes!" Theodore whooped. "I did it? I did it!"
"Oh, Theo!" Eleanor reacted in delight, straightly embraces Theodore, who embraces back also. "You really did it!"
Their victory wasn't music to the ears of the two remaining teams. The current cheerful team received their clue as Eleanor opens it to reveal their next destination.
"Crap…" Charlie muttered under her nostrils.
Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 9th Place
"It's the Pit Stop!" Eleanor reads the important phrase then proceeds further. "…the last team to check in will be eliminated! Uh-oh, better be in a safe place rather than last place!"
"Okay…" Theodore then belched under his stomach, embarrassment filled to both of them. "Sorry…"
"Come on, follow me!" Eleanor invites Theodore, who quickly accepts the offer.
"I'm following you!"
Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market
Linda & Lawrence – 8th Place; arrived at 8:16pm
"So far, what was the most challenging task for you?" Phil asked the married parents.
"It's the number station game overall, since I'm wearing spectacles over," Lawrence answered first, Phil glances over to Linda to take the answer also.
"I wouldn't have thought that drinking could be complex as ever here!" Linda answered next.
"You have different opinions, I see," Phil said. "But you'll definitely be complexed on the next several legs, it could go harder or easier, but in real-time, it could be difficult to handle to some of you. So please be prepared."
"I'm chuffed to bits to knew that," Lawrence answered jokingly. "But the message's clear."
"We'll try to offer you the best effort that we could ever have if we lasted longer," Linda added.
"Sure do, my lovingly dear," Lawrence replied, sending Linda a quick peck to both of their lips.
Eleanor & Theodore – 9th Place; arrived at 8:34pm
"You seemed to be very fond of the drinks earlier, huh, Theodore?" Phil asked Theodore.
"Yeah…" Theodore answered innocently, seemingly aware of what the host was saying.
"Hey, at least we're still in the race, right?" Eleanor added.
"Yeah. Now I can use the bathroom!"
"Oh!" Eleanor reacted with a flushed face. "We need to rest now…" She chuckled nervously. "…we'll see 'ya later!"
They turned back around and walked out of sight of the mat to take a deserving rest, at least for Theodore.
Halifax Public Gardens
Two teams left in the drinking game challenge. Both teams were trying to give it all to avoid early elimination. They went for more attempts as they weren't expecting to make this far.
Charlie & Viola – 5th Attempt
"Okay… now do you really know what those drinks are?" Charlie asked Viola, who nodded in response.
"This better be the last shot…" Viola muttered.
Leslie & Penny – 9th Attempt
"I don't know why we stood out here for hours!" Leslie complained.
"We're just missing something but let's be real, we better take the chances for everything!" Penny said, becomes aggressively confident.
"Alright. It better be."
Leslie & Penny (Confessional)
"We gotta give out of our everything to this attempt or our chances to stay in the race for long, will be a bust!" Penny said.
Charlie & Viola (Confessional)
"It's kinda sucked that I can't use any of our powers in the race. We would be a threat, if that occurred." Charlie said. "I think this is the right time to be serious at the game… in the worst timing possible."
Leslie & Penny – Cousins
"Okay…" Penny said after drinking a plentiful of the mysterious smoothie drink and assumes. "This is… Tripleberry…"
"Mine is…" Leslie said, also taking a sip of the smoothie, was looking to the flavor list and speculates. "…Mango Pineapple!"
Charlie & Viola – Sisters
"It's time for some…" Charlie declared, taking a dive from her smoothie cup. "…Strawberry Kiwi?"
"I think I have some strawberry too, but it's also kinda sweet," Viola said unsurely. "Could it be Strawberry Banana?"
"If that's what you have guessed, then that's the answer that we needed, hopefully."
Both teams continued to observe and feel their flavor sensation and hopefully will send them into their near-eliminating butts.
"It's Strawberry and a banana." Penny speculated. "Strawberry Banana."
"Pineapple Orange Strawberry." Leslie guessed her new smoothie cup.
"Uhh… what was it called again?" Charlie looked up to the flavor list and lit up as she raised her hand. "Aha! It's Mango Pineapple! Not with that Acai one."
"It's the Pineapple Orange Strawberry." Viola assumed, then chuckles on how ridiculously long is the name of the flavor. "What a name for a smoothie."
The teams were now on their final cup as both Charlie and Penny took the cup and sends it down their mouth.
"So, what do you think?" Viola asked.
"I don't know if it's…" Charlie answered, conflicting between flavors. "It's probably… Superberry Acai? Or is it Tripleberry?"
"It's a Strawberry Kiwi," Penny answered.
"Are you sure?" Leslie asked, unsurely still on the guess.
"That's the only thing I can feel! We gotta put out the answers. Quick!"
The cousins were on the guessing part while Charlie had flavor trouble, still dubious over which flavor will she able to go through.
"Uhhh…"
"Come on! We better hurry up!" Viola impatiently reminding Charlie, who was thinking forcefully.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah!" Charlie cried. "I go with Tripleberry!"
"Come on, let's take the chance of us!"
Now also putting their answers against the cup, they all waited patiently for the workers to check their answers. The screen transitioned into double, looking over to the teams who were anxious and cannot contain their patience to leave the place.

"It's correct."
"YES!" A team cried as one of them receives the clue.
Leslie & Penny – currently in 10th Place
"Make your way to the pit stop… come on, let's go!" Leslie exclaimed.
"I'm on it!" Penny receives the invitation.
Followed by a few seconds, the last team got their clue as they opened it and scans the details further.
Charlie & Viola – currently in Last Place
"Uh-oh! Last team to check in will be eliminated!" Charlie cried. "Not good!"
"Okay, that better be the other team! So let's go!"
Both teams are outside but however, there was a problem from a team.
"Where's our taxi?" Leslie asked.
"I-I-I don't know!" Penny answered, stammering to her words.
"Geez louis…" Leslie slaps herself in the face at the mistake that they both made. "Why didn't we ask for the taxi to stay…"
Because of this mess, the sisters took advantage of the situation as they have their taxi, who told by them to stay put.
Charlie & Viola (Confessional)
"We saw them, taxi-less," Charlie said. "They're in big trouble right now!"
"It's a good thing that we have our cab driver stay for a few hours!" Viola added. "Our butts will be saved from elimination!"
"But not for now..." Charlie clarified.
"We gotta move faster, sir! There's someone behind us that are racing too!" Viola pleaded to the driver, who affirms the petition.
"Let's get our speed on, my good man. We don't want to be the first ones to be kicked off!" Charlie added. "Better left out of their sight."
The cousins found a taxi and miraculously, the driver accepted the negotiation as they made their way out of the garden.
"Come on, sir! We're on an important mission! We don't want to be late!" Leslie ordered.
"Yeah! We better be on time!" Penny added.
"I hope we can make it on time." The flowery girl sighed, hoping for a miracle.
The sisters got caught on a mild traffic, due to the stoplight. They were livid inside of their taxi, trying not to provoke anything badly.
"That stoplight better be intimidated by us! He's so dead afterwards!" Charlie said, taking a shot to the abstract object.
"Come on, let us move!" Viola added, madly protesting the short traffic jam.
While the cousins were moving smoothly and their cab didn't stop at all.
"I don't see any sights of the girls," Penny observes her window carefully.
"I hope that we're leading," Leslie said, was also looking at her window. "I don't wanna go home early!"
"Me too!"
Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market
The cousins and the sisters were told about that they have arrived at their wanted destination as both of the cabs that they rented for, reaches the same parking point, seeing each other within a few meters.
"Come on! Pick up my bag!" Viola said, requesting to Charlie to grab her bag.
"I'll take the bags!" Leslie offered herself to carry the luggage that they bought in the race.
"Let's go! We better hurry!" Charlie exclaimed.
"Let's ask someone!" Penny suggested.
The sisters were clueless for a few minutes until they saw an interesting tip, posted in a wall.
"Hey, sis! I think I found something!" Charlie called Viola. "I think that's the arrow for the Pit Stop, right?"
"Yeah! I think it is. Let's follow the arrow!" Viola answered, begins to sprint like a stray furry.
While the cousins were asking a local for directions.
"Look straight then you'll see the market." The local told them.
"Thanks!" Penny received the inquiry as they began running like loose animals.
"I see the arrow, let's follow that!" Leslie saw the same arrow that the other team had the interest to follow too, as they had the same idea as them.
"Come on, come on, where's the mat?" Viola asked nobody while running.
"There's another arrow over there!" Leslie announced, both taking the right side of the route.
"Hey! I think that's him over there!"
A competitor said as the camera looks up to see a rooftop with bright lights, shining through the host and the greeter.
"That's him, alright!"
"We're coming at 'ya!"
The cameraman took over as he ran and opened the door to cover the team's runny situation. Surprisingly, a team was behind another team within a short distance, making Phil and the greeter fascinated at the current situation.
"It looks like we're having a photo finish for this one!" Phil stated.
Both teams were panting and tries not to stop racing towards the mat. The teams' feet were against one another, making it more suspenseful than they would ever think.
"AHHHH!"
"Make me a winner!"
"And…" Phil said. "Here we go!"
Both teams have arrived simultaneously in the mat, all of them were huffing for fresh air after a grueling competition. But one team will have to advance at the next leg as teams were staring at Phil, who looked amazed at the current scene.
"Wow!" Phil firstly reacted to the whole situation. "I have never ever seen a photo finish quite like this… but we need to determine on which of you did step on the mat last. Can we have a slow-mo replay for the whole finish, please?"
The screen showed the final moments of the crucial step-on to the mat. After taking a careful observation, Phil clearly made the decision.
"Since it's clearly that a foot was seen, stepping last at the mat. We have a decisive winner to proceed to the next leg…"

"Charlie & Viola… you are officially team number ten!" Phil announced. "You're still on the race."
Charlie & Viola – 10th Place; arrived at 8:56pm
The aforementioned team went into a state of surprise, froze at their feet until Viola embraces Charlie tightly.
"We're still in it." Viola reacted emotionally.
"Wow…" Charlie added. "…I-I-I-I just…"
"So that means, Leslie & Penny, you are the last team to arrive," Phil said. "I'm sorry but you have been eliminated from the race."
Leslie & Penny - ELIMINATED
The other team received the bad news, loud and clear. They were also emotional, they attempted to stay strong but Penny broke the glass and cried as she hugs Leslie, who quickly hugs back.
"There, there," Leslie said.
Penny didn't respond at all, she continues to weep.
"I'm sorry but we need a team that will continue on racing and I hope you'll understand that."
Leslie & Penny (Confessional)
"The final moments of that was really devastating… it almost broke me into pieces." Penny confessed. "But I need to move on, there's no sense of arguing back."
"I'm sorry, Penny. My feet went last into the mat." Leslie sends an apology to her cousin, who gladly accepted despite still not convinced at their early loss.
The screen showed the slow-mo replay of the fleet racing, zooming over to Leslie's feet, who lastly touches the mat.
"It's fine. I guess it's that we made a big mistake before that." Penny said.
"Yeah, we better ask the driver first before we took the challenge." Leslie quickly recalls the awful mistake that they made.
"That's okay because racing in a sprint to the finish was one heck of a history to be written off the books! And I'm glad that we're part of that!"
"Yeah! That kinda works too!" Leslie chuckled. "Besides, we still have one another and we can do whatever we want without the pressure!"
"Yeah, you're right." Penny chuckled.
The screen now shows both teams were embracing with each other, sending sorry's, good lucks, and goodbyes to one another. The cousins left out of the mat and waves back to others, including Phil and the greeter, who also said their farewell to the eliminated team.
"See you soon, guys!" Penny cried.
"We'll see you on the last lap!" Leslie added as they made their way into the door and closes the door.
SHORT END CREDITS
"Stay tuned for more scenes on the next episode!" Phil said in a voiceover as the screen fades to black.
"Next time on The Amazing Race…" Phil paused and continues. "Teams stepped out of their game!"
Sami was seen hitting a puck and that sends him and Kevin to a victory.
"Oh, yeah! Hockey's the man!" Sami exclaimed.
Both Linda & Lawrence were seen climbing upstairs at a slow pace, were muttering something.
"34… 35…" Lawrence quietly said.
"And stacks out their possibilities…" Phil continued.
Both Timmy & Chloe were caught lifting up a box of beers.
"Oh my god, we really need to finish this already!" Timmy said, groaning while holding the box.
"…of climbing up to the top to win million dollars…"
Emma descends down from a ceiling at the top of a building.
"Oh, wow! This looks great… and heavenly!"
"…and The Amazing Race!"
Sanjay and Craig were sighted, groaning in frustration after finding out a piece of bad news.
"Dang it! Now we're in the wrong way!" Sanjay exclaimed in frustration.
"Ah, shoot." Craig simply cursed under his skin.
