Guest: Thanks, bro! :D

Platrium: Haha! Same as well! But the only difference, I have a leg design but the challenges were so easy as heck! xD


Episode 4, Part 2 – "One Is Better Than Two" – Theodore


Stadtpark

The show came back where Eleanor stood down in the ground with her palms rubbing her face after getting upset about not getting the ownership of the fiacre.

"Why am I such a jerk?!" Eleanor answered indirectly, shaking her head continuously. "No-no-no!"

"Oh, man…" Theodore replied, trying his best to come up with a temporary solution to this predicament. "Don't worry, Eleanor. We already know what we're going to do, right?"

Eleanor quickly reacted with a hard embrace to Theodore, who was caught off-guard with the embrace.

"Wow…" Theodore chuckled. "I think you felt better now, huh?"

Eleanor looked upon Theodore as she gave him her biggest smile and simply responded.

"Yeah, I guess so."


Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)

"That actually made feel better," Eleanor admitted. "Theo's words just felt like a breeze that came upon unexpectedly."

"Really? Maybe because I was eating mint." Theodore answered.

Eleanor only responded with a chuckle.


Johann Strauss II Monument

Charlie & Viola currently in 5th Place

"Ride a Fiacre… sweet!" Viola exclaimed while reading the next details from the clue.

"What's a fiacre?" Charlie asked.

"I don't know!"

"Why are you so ecstatic about a thing that you don't even know about?!"

"I guess I'm just excited about trying new things?" Viola added a shrug in her uncertain response.

"Fair point."


Johnstraße Avenue

Kevin & Sami – Wrestling Teammates

"What's your arm doing now?" Kevin asked Sami, who was thoroughly caressing his left arm.

"Except that I'm still eligible on racing, I think it's dandy at this point on," Sami answered. "Just a little boo-boo in the middle of racing."

"Well, good, because we need your arm for the race!"

"If we're getting arms race, then I am so screwed! So it's not good!" Sami responded. "Besides, your arms are twice as large as mine, we'll need it!"

"Wait, what?" Kevin said, perplexed at his partner's remark and scratches his temple. "You really confusing me, Sami. I hate that kind of attitude that you've just pulled off."

"Excuse me?! That's not an attitude! That was just a statement!" Sami retorted.

"I hate you so much," Kevin muttered.


Wien Kanal – Entrance

Sanjay & Craig – Adoptive Brothers

"Come on down now, Craig!" Sanjay called his buddy from above.

"Give me a minute!" Craig said as he carefully steps on every rung from the ladder. "It's kind of slippery."

"Just jump and I'll save you!"

Craig complied and leaped from the ladder as Sanjay catches him with ease. They looked upon each other to laugh about the antics that they just performed.

"Come on, princess… let's go to that statue!" Sanjay exclaimed as he began walking, followed by Craig.

"Oh, yes, my king!" Craig replied with an imitating princess voice, quickly turns it back to his original tone. "Now it feels great here! So warm… so cozy…"


Johann Strauss II Monument

Linda & Lawrence – currently in 6th Place

"There it is, honey. I'll get it!" Linda said as she makes a run towards the clue box. "Okay… ride a fiacre and find a way to flag them as yours…"

"Sweet! Fiacre! One of those medieval vehicles, we're getting it now!" Lawrence said as he chuckled.

"Why don't you say so?! Come on!" Linda offered her hand as her husband accepts it and left the monument.


Schönbrunn Palace – Outside Entrance

Stan & Steve – Father/Son

"Hey, I think that's the palace over there!" Steve said, pointing a finger straight to a wide-space palace.

"Wow, from the looks of it, it is better than White House! This place is nuts!" Stan said, impressed at the wonderful features of the grounds of the assumed palace. "They better step up since the president is always focusing on dumb subjects."

"That's my sentiment too. But I don't care about that much."

"Hey, son! You better be ready for getting a vote for the next president."

"I know, dad. I just don't care at politics right now."

Both men noticed that their carriage stopped in front of the gate, implying that they have arrived at the place.

"Hey, we're here!" Stan exclaimed.

"Yeah, like I said earlier!" Steve replied as he looks back to see another team. "Hey, there's another team behind us!"

"Oh, crap! It's Fatman and his sidekick! We better get there first!"

Both of them descended from the carriage as they dashed towards the clue box, in front of the palace.

Kevin & Sami – Wrestling Teammates

"I saw the father and son running!" Sami said. "We should get out immediately!"

"Oh, boy, hope your arms can get along with me." Kevin sneered.

"Maybe I can say it now…" Sami then told the carrier to stop the fiacre as he complied. "…Oh, now we're good."

"Let's just go…"

Both Canadians dropped themselves from the carriage as they went Flash mode towards the palace. While The Americans found themselves in the top as Stan picks up a clue from the box to read.

Stan & Steve – currently in 1st Place

"Okay…" Stan said but paused after seeing two papers. "A fast forward? Detour?"

"Let me see the green one, dad!" Steve said, receiving the paper immediately. "I think it's better to take this one instead of the Deto—"

"Whoa, hold it right there, soldier! We're going to take Detour!" Stan exclaimed, interrupting Steve's suggestion.

"Or we're just gonna—"

"Mozart or Beethoven?" Stan reads the options from the Detour clue paper as Steve frowned.

"In this Detour, teams will have to choose two personalities that might ring their bell upon reading their clue. Their choices – Mozart or Beethoven?

"In Mozart, teams will have to make their way by taxi to Music and Arts University where they will have to take their ears to the test as they will have to listen to some Beethoven musical pieces. But first, they will have to listen and remember 10 Beethoven classics. If they think they got all the pieces remembered, they will have to answer a quiz about what they have listened to. If they can answer five and above, the professor will hand over their next clue." Phil said as he looked to the professor to his left, who unveils the clue to the camera. "If they got less than five, they will have to face the music of getting last or worst, eliminated."

"In Beethoven, teams will have to carry a portfolio of sheet music from the palace and send it to the house of Beethoven, where he wrote The Heiligenstadt Testaments. If they found the right house, Beethoven himself will give them their next clue." Phil stated the other option as he was walking in the palace as he continued. "Teams will feel the music to their ears if they can find the house quickly because the house is not well-known in the city and they might consume some time on finding the location."

"Okay, Dad, what is it?" Steve asked.

"Beethoven it is. We can't even listen to the music!" Stan answered.

"Really? Then I'm fine with it." Steve shrugged. "But seriously, we should take the Fast Forward since we're here first!"

"Well, there's a team behind us and competing with them adds up the pressure to the challenge, so it's better to take the Detour instead."


Stan & Steve (Confessional)

"I really hate my dad," Steve said. "We're just taking advantage of getting first and now my dad's playing safe like he usually is."

"Hey! It's for the best for our team! You know, protecting ourselves from exhaustion or any distractions?" Stan replied.

"Dad…" Steve covers himself with his palms.


"Dang it…" Steve replied. "Okay, let's pick up the sheets."

Stan picks up a portfolio from the stairs of the palace as they moved on, while another team showed up in the clue box to pick up an envelope inside.

Kevin & Sami – currently in 2nd Place

"Fast Forward?" Sami said, noticing a second pamphlet on the clue. "Should we do it?"

"It requires arms, dummy. You said your arm isn't better right now." Kevin replied.

"Oh, yeah…" Sami answered. "Detour it is."

"Mozart or Beethoven?" Kevin reads the question from the clue.

"Ugh! Listening to classics sounds lame. I think carrying notes and walking sounds useful, in my opinion." Sami replied. "You'll carry the notes while I'll ask people."

"Okay, commander," Kevin replied with sarcasm. "Your choice has been granted. Light the way!"

Sami scowled at Kevin but shrugs it off and lead their pack out of the palace.


10:54AM – Wien Hauptbahnhof

Timmy & Chloe - currently in 8th Place

Clarence & Jeff – currently in Last Place

Both teams got their taxis and simultaneously takes off from the train station to their next destination.

"Zum Wien Canal bitte? (To the Wien Canal, please?)" Chloe asked the driver in the local language.

"Ja. (Yes.)" The driver answered.

"Wir sind mit einem anderen Taxi hinter uns und halten sie auf unseren Schwänzen. (We are with another taxi behind and keep them on our tails.)"

The driver only nodded while Timmy flabbergasted on Chloe's wide knowledge about the German language.

"Wow, I can't even comprehend what just happened." Timmy simply said.

Meanwhile, Clarence & Jeff's taxi was following the Neighbors' taxi.

"Okay, gotta keep your eyes open on any turns," Jeff told Clarence.

"Yeah, but the city is too cool for me to focus on the other taxi!" Clarence answered while staring at the city buildings.

"Come on, Clarence! Get a grip!"

"Got it!"


Clarence & Jeff (Confessional)

"Seriously, if we get eliminated for real this time, it will be Clarence's fault for not concentrating on racing!" Jeff said. "I'm not really surprised by his fascination with the buildings."

"Well, who wouldn't?" Clarence simply replied with a rhetorical question.


Schönbrunn Palace – Outside Entrance

Emma & Noah – currently in 3rd Place

"Oh, a Fast Forward. Should we use it?" Noah asks Emma.

"Hmm, did anyone took this yet?" Emma asks back to Noah.

"I don't have any clairvoyant abilities sadly, but let's see if we can do this one."

"There are only two Fast Forwards that are open to grab by any team. Teams can only claim one Fast Forwards during the entire race. At this Fast Forward, a team must enter the ballroom of the palace where they must wear a formal attire. Each team member will need to carry a tray of glasses filled with full champagne and must cross through the waltzing couples. If both members successfully cross the other side without spilling any content, they will receive their next clue." Phil stated the challenge.

"Alright, not a bad challenge. We're taking the Fast Forward." Emma said to the camera.

"Okay, it's easy to say but it could be complex in reality. Maybe we can handle it smoothly with the couples inside, right?" Noah smirked over Emma, who frowned immediately.

"Oh, get your feet on, Noah! Let's get inside."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Both participants entered the palace.


Johann Strauss II Monument

Sanjay & Craig – currently in 7th Place

"Fiacre?" Craig asked.

"I dunno, let's just see what it can be," Sanjay replied with a shrug.

Both buddies left the monument.


Schönbrunn Palace – Fast Forward

Emma & Noah - Dating Reality TV Pros

The ballroom was echoed with classical, jazzy music and saw that all of the individuals inside were wearing elegant dresses and suits. Mostly focusing on the goal of taking the Fast Forward, Emma & Noah only concentrated on the dancing couples who are continuously dancing at a slow pace. The couple looked at them attentively.

"Oh, so nobody took this opportunity…" Emma said in realization.

"I guess this is the perfect time to do some good ol' dancing," Noah replied as he dances to the music momentarily.

"Let's just go and change outfits."

Noah only scratched his hair in confusion.


Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"Why can't I add some fun into the tasks?" Noah asks to the camera. "Emma is really just concentrating over the race overall. Maybe she just can't see the other side of this thing."

"I'm right here beside, you know I can hear that?" Emma asked, Noah completely ignores the question and smirked.


Stadtpark

Linda & Lawrence – Married Parents

"There they are, Lawrence!" Linda said, gesturing the youngsters waiting on the horse carriages to arrive.

"Very nice to see them waiting, but on the contrary, it's kinda bad to see them waiting," Lawrence said.

Both parents greeted the other teams, in which they greeted back.

"So, how long have you been waiting for?" Linda asks the other teams.

"Almost thirty minutes?" Eleanor answered uncertainly. "This waiting game is killing us!"

"Yeah, no kidding," Theodore added.

"Look, I think a horse over there!" Charlie exclaimed, pointing her fingers to her right to see a horse carriage moving slowly towards the waiting station.

Within a mile, Sanjay & Craig are still running towards the waiting station and finally saw the other teams, waiting for the fiacres to arrive.

Sanjay & Craig – Adoptive Brothers

"Oh, great! They're still there!" Craig exclaimed.

"Wait, there are three teams, that means…" Sanjay said and paused, realizing on the details of the clue. "Uh-oh, we better get there before they can! There are only three in every thirty minutes!"

"Really?! Come on then!"

Both of them ran for their lives while the other teams are clueless about their presence until Craig shouted from behind.

Viola gasped as she looked back to see another team. "There's the boys!"

"We better get that ticket!" Charlie cried.

The four teams ran for their lives towards the three fiacres. While Sanjay & Craig were behind them by a few feet, trying their best to surpass any team possible.

"Come on, Theodore! We need one of them!" Eleanor exclaimed.

Theodore nodded in response.

"Okay, we're almost there, hon!" Lawrence told Linda.

"I know, we just have to hop on and grab that ticket," Linda replied.

The four teams began to slow down as they reached the three fiacres as The Chipmunks firstly picks up the farthest carriage as Theodore picks up the riding pass.

Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 4th Place

"Yes!" Theodore responded happily as he swung his fist in celebration.

"Come on! Let's go!" Eleanor replied in desperation. "To Shaun-bron Palace?"

Next to The Chipmunks, The Sisters flagged the second fiacre with ease as they hopped inside of the manual vehicle.

Charlie & Viola – currently in 5th Place

"Woo! That was a close call!" Charlie said, wiping her excess sweat from her face. "Where do we need to go again?"

"Uhhh… Schon-Braun Palace?" Viola answered unsurely.

The carrier only nodded and began to move out, following the leading carriage.

Meanwhile, the last carriage is still vacated as The Parents and The Brothers are neck-and-neck for the ownership of the last fiacre.

"Hey, go grab that one, Sanjay! I'm losing my speed!" Craig told Sanjay.

"Dang it, man! But alright!" Sanjay replied as he continues to run.

"I got this, hon!" Lawrence told Linda.

"You can do it, sweetie!" Linda replied.

After a long marathon, a hand was seen snagging the pass from the door.

"Woo! I got it!"

"Nice! You beat them!" Linda said, praising her husband with a clap.

"Nah, that's just timing and luck!" Lawrence humbly responds, chuckling immediately.

Both of them hopped on to their carriage as they left. The Brothers, on the other hand, was barely close on making it through the cut.

Sanjay & Craig – Adoptive Brothers

"Sorry, man. I tried but I'm so close to getting that!" Sanjay said in a downward manner.

"Don't worry, dude!" Craig answered in a calming tone. "We're just getting it but we're not last, right?"

"But they're gonna catch up, dude! You know they are all tough teams!"

"Even we are too! We're strong enough!"

"Yeah… maybe you're right…"

"Come on, dude. Let's go back! At least, we're jogging and exercising at the same time!" Craig chuckled, making his partner laugh at him as well.

Stan & Steve – Father/Son

"Okay, dad. Now what?" Steve asks his dad.

"Keep asking people, son. That's the best solution we ever had so far!" Stan answered.

"But we're asking like ten people already and they have no idea where it is!" Steve replied. "Maybe something's up, but I'm not quite sure."

"We can try and take a train or something," Stan suggested.

"Hmmm…" Steve said as he reads the instructions from the clue. "We can take any vehicles as we want."

"Alright, let's take a train!"


?

Kevin & Sami – Wrestling Teammates

The Canadians are currently on a tram, asking for any possible whereabouts of Beethoven's house.

"Excuse me, do you know Beethoven's House?" Sami asks a passenger beside him.

"Nein. (No.)" The passenger replied.

"Uh, thanks," Sami replied as he left the passenger alone as he went to Kevin. "Dude, there's no chance we can pull this off!"

"Well, if it wasn't for your arm, we should be listening to classical music instead of getting stuck in here finding Beethoven's house!" Kevin exclaimed, fires a shot to Sami.

"Really, Kevin? Again? With the blaming game again?" Sami retorted. "You are ridiculous, big guy!"

"Excuse me?" Someone from the tram asked, referring to the Canadians, who turned back to the passenger. "Which house?"

"Uh, Beethoven's?" Sami answered for the team.

"Which one?" The passenger replied.

"Wait, what?" Sami responded, confusing him much further.

"You mean he has a second house?" Kevin now asks the passenger.

"No, lots of them!"

"WHAT?!" Sami reacted in disbelief after hearing the bombshell. "You are kidding me, right?!"

"Nope."


Kevin & Sami (Confessional)

"Okay, Beethoven has several houses? What the heck, like we never heard nor searched it on Google. That's one ridiculous of a revelation!" Sami confessed, still in disbelief after hearing the revelation.

"Wow, so much for a light delivery…" Kevin sneered.


Schönbrunn Palace – Fast Forward

Emma & Noah - Dating Reality TV Pros

The Canadians are now on their elegant attire with Noah in his black tuxedo and pants; Emma with her white dress. They looked upon the situation to study the possible physics behind this challenge.

"Are you ready?" Emma asked. "I think I can start it now."

"Okay, but I'll just stand over here, calculating and measuring the speed and the distance that I can move out to," Noah answered.

Emma only rolled her eyes in response.

To get things started, Emma puts down the several glasses in the tray, isolating them from one another. Soon after, the Asian girl lifts the tray carefully. But before she could take a step, two of them fell off and the contents spilled in the tray, voiding the attempt.

"Damn it."

"Told you so." Noah simply said.

"Shut up, let me concentrate."

"Oh, she won't," Noah said to the camera, crossing arms as he watches Emma failed her next attempt. "Yep, this might take a while."

Timmy & Chloe – Neighbors

Clarence & Jeff – Best Friends

"This place is a mess," Clarence said.

"It's not that comparable to my Dad's dreams," Timmy replied.

"What did your dad dreamed of?"

"It's all messed up until he said 'what's my age?'" Timmy answered. "Which is still a question me because I really don't get it!"

"Oh, I think I got that…" Jeff chimed into their conversation. "It pretty means that—"

"Hey, look, guys!" Chloe cried, interrupting the whole discussion. "That looks like a marked arrow me, isn't it?"

"It is!" Clarence answered, confirming Chloe's assumption by squinting his eyes. "Let's go!"

But before Timmy can say anything, Jeff decided to answer. "We can talk that someday… That is so dark to talk about…"

Timmy frowned.


Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)

"Still to this day, no one has ever known what that even means, even my friends in the neighborhood and school, don't know what that means!" Timmy ranted. "Even Chloe of all people!"

"Why would I know that? It's an adult thing to say!" Chloe replied in defense. "You know how heavily they put dark comparisons in their minds. People are no rainbows always!"

"Okay… that would make sense to me… but I wonder what that means?! I NEED ANSWERS!"

"Timmy!"


Timmy & Chloe – currently in 8th Place

"Oh, Speedbump…" Chloe said, noticing an extra post beside them. "And their faces in the logo…"

"Ride a Fiacre…" Timmy reads the clue. "Oh, we still have a chance, I think. Let's go!"

"Are you sure we want them to go by themselves?"

"Of course, they can do it!" Timmy answered. "Now let's go!"

"Okay…" Chloe replied, turning back to see the other teams opening the second box. "Good luck, guys! Hope you can make it!"

Clarence & Jeff – currently in Last Place

"Thanks!" Clarence replied for the team.

"Speedbump…" Jeff reads the clue for their additional task. "Go back to the sewers… Not again!"

"Why?"

"Germs…" Jeff only muttered in reply.

"Clarence & Jeff needs to take a step back further for their Speed Bump challenge. In this challenge, they must go back to the sewers and find seven letters from the walls, which is posted in random places inside of the canal. If they gathered seven pieces, they can go back outside and assemble it into a correct word. If they got Strauss as their answer, bring it to the man in a tuxedo and can continue racing with the other teams." Phil stated the challenge for the last team.

"Do you have extra gloves or something?" Jeff asks Clarence.

"Yeah, I have," Clarence replied, instantly hands over the extra gloves for his buddy. "Let's go!"

"Why do we have to go through this stinking pit again?!"

Both started and went back through the canals.


Schönbrunn Palace – Outside Entrance

Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 4th Place

"I'll grab the clue, Theodore," Eleanor told her partner.

"Okay, Eleanor," Theodore replied with a nod.

"It's a Detour…" Eleanor began, then remembers her promise to Theodore. "Alright, Theodore, you choose for us…"

Theodore gasped. "Really? Are you sure about that?"

"Yeah, you are the one, Theo."

Charlie & Viola – currently in 5th Place

"Beethoven or Mozart?" Charlie reads the question on the clue. "Viola, I think you should choose what's best for us. It's your strong suit."

"Okay then." Viola shrugged.

Charlie soon hands out the clue over Viola, who scans the details of the two tasks available.

Linda & Lawrence – currently in 6th Place

"Which one?" Lawrence asked Linda as he was holding the clue. "Since you have at least knowledge about music, so I assume you would pick Beethoven?"

"Yes, it is, hon." Linda chuckled, impressed by Lawrence's guess.

"Let's do Beethoven, I think we can topple the game of music!" Theodore decided for his team.

"Huh…" Eleanor reacted as she snatches the clue from Theodore, gasping in the process after reading the instructions but quickly changes her expression to avoid hurting Theodore again. "Oh… okay… Beethoven it is." She sheepishly chuckled.

"Let's do Mozart!" Viola announced.

"Wait, what?!" Charlie reacted in surprise. "Really?"

"What? You said I choose."

"Ah… forget it. I don't even wanna know the reason. Let's get out of here!"

The Sisters left the palace afterward. The Chipmunks were the last team in the palace currently.

"Wait, where are the parents?" Eleanor asked.

"I think they just left-" Theodore responded.

Eleanor disrupted Theodore's answer. "Uh-oh! We're losing them! I mean, let's go!"

The Chipmunks lastly leave the palace for the second batch.


Wien Kanal

Clarence & Jeff – 0/7 letters collected

"Okay, are you even finding something?" Jeff asks Clarence, who was looking on his left.

"No, they are looking so old!" Clarence answered, scanning the old writings on the wall. "All I got is fancy words."

"Oh! Here's one already…" Jeff saw a letter 'S' beside a long German word. "S…"

Clarence & Jeff – 1/7 letters collected

"Hey, Jeff, does this count?" Clarence asked. "It's an A but it has two dots above…"

Jeff looked upon the letter of conflict for a few seconds. "The color is the same as I got when I found the S, so that's a yes, I guess?"

The color was gold, the same color as when Jeff found the first letter that they needed.

Clarence wrote down the character on a piece of paper. "So far, so good…"

Clarence & Jeff – 2/7 letters collected

"Don't celebrate that early, Clarence. We have much time to save…" Jeff told Clarence.

"Got it! Got it!"


Schönbrunn Palace – Fast Forward

Emma & Noah - Dating Reality TV Pros

"Alright, time to get serious… again." Emma said. "Haven't you solved it yet, Noah?"

"I think I got it but you go first," Noah replied.

Emma rolled her eyes once again as she begins at a slow pace while observing every movement of the dancers on both sides. She moves slowly to the right and goes to the left after a surpassing a row.

"Three more to go…" Emma whispered to herself.

"She's gonna get this one this time, she's on the middle now," Noah said to the camera.

Emma passes another row. When she got to the next one, the glasses almost fell off but Emma instinctively sets it back without colliding any parts with the dancers. She wiped her sweat from her forehead as she confidently calculates the distance between dancers.

"Here she goes with the final row…" Noah stated the current situation of Emma, who just gladly surpassed the final row as she sighed in relief. "Nice shot, Emma!"

"Noah! Your time now!" Emma exclaimed.

"I'm on it!" Noah answered proudly, setting up his tray and glasses properly on his palm but was quickly stopped when he heard the glasses breaking on the floor. "Woops, I better take exercise next time. One second, please." He nervously chuckled.

Emma glared at Noah for his temporary stupidity. "NOAH!"


?

Stan & Steve – Father/Son

The duo soon left their train and left the station to ask for some directions.

"Excuse me? Anyone knows Beethoven's House?" Stan asked, but clearly, no one responds to their question. "Anyone?"

"Maybe let's ask someone who has internet access?" Steve suggested.

"Alrighty then. You talk."

Steve shrugged in response.


Stan & Steve (Confessional)

"Just because I suggested something doesn't mean that I can grant it by myself already!" Steve confessed in an upsetting tone. "Dad sucks always."


Steve begins to search an individual with a smartphone, holding on their hands, until he found one. He went over to ask a young man, in which he assumed to be the same age as his.

"Excuse me, can you help us find Beethoven's house on your phone?"

"Okay…" The young man simply replied as he began searching through his browser.

"See? I told you to talk to them." Stan said, solidifying his early statement.

"Dad! Sometimes, you have to work out with me, figuratively!" Steve retorted.

The individual showed the details of the whereabouts of the house of the famous musician. They were stunned to learn that they are currently in the wrong station.

"Are you nuts?! We're not in the wrong station?" Stan asked in disbelief.

"Damn it!" Steve groaned afterward after cursing. "Come on, dad. Let's go back."

"Damn it! Again!" Stan responded as he follows his son back to the station.

Emma & Noah - Dating Reality TV Pros

"Okay, I'm ready to go as I wasn't when I was in a prom, a few years back," Noah said.

"Oh, lordie, I must've known that, Noah." Emma sarcastically replies to Noah. "Get your butt down there and do it!"

"Alright, alright…"

Noah became serious at this moment, eyeing for an ace for this task. His calculations and measurements might give them a push to the top, according to him. Noah begins his careful expedition when he cautiously walks across the first row. He wasted no time pushing for the next row as he crossed successfully.

"Go on, Noah!" Emma shouted.

Noah ignores the words of encouragement from his girlfriend as he was strictly attentive to the path of the next row.


Emma & Noah (Confessional)

"I did try my best on rejuvenating or readjust myself after my awful run from the past competitions, but I think it's starting to bloom and to grow on me. The competition is my challenge, the rest is my factor to solidify myself as a great competitor." Noah said with confidence.


Almost spilled the champagne, Noah gladly guides the fragile objects in his tray to safety as he successfully beats the challenge with a few attempts, much to Emma's dismay, but was glad to see Noah successfully conquered a challenge, at his own feat. Emma made her way to Noah as she sends an unexpected kiss to the nerdy boy, who was caught off-guard and easily went crazy on her.

"Heeeey… you look pretty… hehehe…" Noah said dumbly, staring at her white dress.

"Yeah, Noah, I know! You did it very well… I just wanna do that because you are an awesome guy…" Emma replied sincerely.

"Well… is it just me… or I look like a kid again? Hehehe."

Emma chuckled but quickly stopped when an old man in his tuxedo stood in front of them, holding the clue for them.

Emma & Noah – currently in 1st Place

Emma rips the clue and opens it to read the next instruction. "Congratulations! You won the Fast Forward! Make your way to your next Pit Stop, Hundert-Wasser-haus…"

"After being triumphant to the Fast Forward task, Emma & Noah can now surpass the other tasks and proceed to Hundertwasser House," Phil stated their reward for the Canadian couple.

The camera shots to the wide and colorful apartment house, which is magnificently an eye candy for tourists.

"Nice! Noah, let's get changing!" Emma ordered, rolls her eyes as she seemingly remembers Noah's stupor state. "Ugh! Come with me!"

Emma drags the dazed boyfriend as the latter said something off-screen.

"Your hands are so shiny… Hehehe…"


Beethoven Museum

Kevin & Sami – Wrestling Teammates

"Where is it?" Sami asks an individual who seemed to know the location of their interest. "The House of Beethoven!"

"The one that he wrote… uhhh… something!" Kevin added but unsure of his reply.

"There-there-there-there!" The man in his twenties gestured to his phone.

"That looks like two blocks to me…" Kevin assumed.

"Maybe we can come with this guy, just to make sure we're in the right place," Sami suggested, then turns around to the local. "Uhh, can you come with us?"

"Okay."

"Lead the way, mister."

The boy nodded and started running, both Kevin & Sami were following the local.

"How long have we been on the road?" Kevin asked.

"Dude, we've been like an hour ago… PLUS!" Sami exclaimed as he answered. "That ride took forever to get us here!"

"Really?! That long?! You know what? We're here, no turning back or anything."

"Yeah, same thoughts."

After a few minutes of an additional sprint to their time, they arrived at the old-looking apartment, assuming that it is possible that Beethoven lived here before, said by both of their assumptions. The boy took them into an interesting upstairs, a marked symbol was seen above the door.

"There's the marked one!" Sami said, recognizing the colors of the symbol.

"Thank you, man! I very much appreciate your efforts." Kevin compliments the local, shaking hands with him as he left.

Both Canadians entered a certain room as they met by a good-looking Beethoven impersonator, who greeted them in his own language.

"Hi, there!" Sami greeted the old man, offering the portfolio respectfully. "Here are the notes that you wanted."

Beethoven nodded as he unveils the clue, Kevin gladly receives the envelope.

Kevin & Sami – currently in 2nd Place

"Thank you so much!" Kevin said as he shook hands with the impersonator, followed by Sami. "Make your way to Donauturm? What?"

"Teams must now make their way to Danaube Tower, where they will find their next clue," Phil said the next details.

"Alright? Let's find a taxi!" Sami suggested.

"I know! Come on!" Kevin replied.

Both men left the house to find a taxi.

Clarence & Jeff – 5/7 letters collected

"How many have we got again?" Jeff asks Clarence.

"Five?" Clarence answered uncertainly.

"How come you said that, like you're not sure?"

"I don't know," Clarence replied, adding a shrug to his response.

"Okay, here's a letter T!" Jeff announced. "Put that one down!"

"Alright, got the T!"

Clarence & Jeff – 6/7 letters collected

"We need one more…" Jeff said the obvious. "I wanna get out of this dirty confinement…"


Music and Arts Private University of Vienna

Linda & Lawrence – Married Parents

Both old couples entered the premises of the school until they found a narrow hallway to find a marked flag, hanging above on the door. They entered a certain door, welcoming them into a simple room filled with instruments and mobile tablets on every table. The professor walked over to them and landed them two seats as they complied.


Linda & Lawrence (Confessional)

"Okay, what a lovely room! Full of instruments and musical stuff, they are all over the place!" Lawrence admitted. "This could be an interesting challenge for me, especially for my dear!"


Eleanor & Theodore – Best Friends

Suddenly, the door opened to reveal a new team, arriving in the scene.

"Are we late in class?" Theodore jokingly asked the professor.

"No-no-no, you're good." The professor chuckled and guided them to their table to sit on with the chairs.

"Alright, let's do this, Theodore!" Eleanor said, offering a fist bump to Theodore, who easily accepts the offer.

They put on their headphones and opened the tablets to start.


Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)

"So we need to listen to at least ten pieces of Beethoven's music, I thought it would be easy but when I heard them for the first time… I was like, oh crud, this music…"


Now playing: Violin Sonata No.9, Op.47 – Kreutzer Sonata (P.S. I would recommend you to play this music while reading this particular moment, it helps! :3)

"Uhhh… I think it sounds… melodic…" Eleanor describes the first few seconds of the song. "Did you sink that in?"

"Uhhh…" Theodore paused. "Yeah… it is dramatic…"

"Wow, this could be confusing as ever!"

Theodore removed his headphones to ask Eleanor. "Yeah! Did I choose the wrong one?"

"What? No! Of course, not at all! It's all good!" Eleanor sheepishly responded, added with a chuckle.

"Okay…"

Meanwhile, the other team in the room was following the tone of Beethoven's piece.

Now Playing: Violin Concerto In D Major, Op.61

"Ooh, this looks like it could be used on a fairy tale musical!" Lawrence said, comparing it to a musical act.

"This one's quite nice, I must say…" Linda added.

"You got that beat in your heart, sweetie!"

Linda only chuckled in response.

The look on the faces of The Chipmunks was different than them as Eleanor seemed to begin panicking, avoiding the glance of Theodore and hides it from him.

"This could be our doom…" Eleanor then groaned.

The screen went in slow-mo as the camera captures Theodore's serious focus, The Parents' concentration, then to Eleanor's freaking state as she props her palms against her face to reconcile herself. The screen went black, implying for a commercial break!


Leg 3's Bonus/Deleted/Extra Scene #1: Choose Your Battle

Prague Castle

After hearing that they are safe from elimination, Timmy & Chloe were put into a hot seat immediately by Phil, asking a crucial question to them.

"And that team is…" Chloe paused to add suspense for the viewers. "…Clarence & Jeff."

"Why did you choose them?" Phil asked.

"As we said, we felt that they are a great team and their determination is there to guide them into safety." Timmy reasoned. "They have a nice personality for a team."

"Like what Timmy said, we felt bad after Clarence took back the pass to us. So, why not reward them in return?" Chloe added.

"Fair point," Phil said, nods and understands their reasons. "Are you sure about that?"

"Yeah, we're sure," Chloe answered, Timmy, followed with a nod.

"Because since they're in last to check-in, we're not sure if they can continue racing nor if they are out of the race."

"We know about that, we like to take risks on everything," Chloe answered with a smile.

"Alright, lucky enough if they can survive but please hand over the second Express Pass to me."

Chloe complied as she gave the pamphlet to the host.

"I hope your decision will benefit them and I'll see you around…"

"Okay, see 'ya, Phil!" Chloe said, waving the host and the greeter goodbyes.

The same goes for Timmy, who waved them also.


A few minutes later

The last team soon arrived after The Neighbors left. When they found out that they are indeed last, they take the sad news well. But subsequently, made them excited when Phil announced that they spared elimination. Soon after, Phil announced them the next good news.

"I got some more good news for you, guys…" Phil announced as he unveils the Express Pass from behind.

Both men gasped when they found out this new bombshell as Jeff grabs it with force, observing its texture to see if it's a reality, indeed, it is a real pamphlet.

"Oh… My… God…" Clarence reacted in a flabbergasted manner as he hugs Phil tightly. "Thank you so much!"

"As much as I would love to take the compliment, I would prefer to give the compliment to Timmy & Chloe," Phil said as Clarence releases him from the hold.

"Oh yeah… Them…" Jeff said. "Yeah, you're right. Maybe I can take credit to Clarence for his act."

"Well, what can you say? I know something would happen like this one!" Clarence answered with glee, gesturing himself confidently.

"Thanks to them, we have the greatest weapon in the race!" Jeff exclaimed, hoists the pass up.

"Again, congratulations, hopefully, you can catch up with the teams despite getting the additional Speed Bump," Phil said.

"Will do, Phil," Clarence said, making Phil chuckled lightly.

"Alright, I'll see you on the next leg. Let's see if I can see any improvements soon."

"Bye, Phil!"

"See ya, Phil!" Jeff waved the host and the greeter, who both greeted back.

Both left Phil and the greeter, but they had a quick conversation afterward.

"You know what, Clarence?" Jeff looked over to Clarence.

"What?" Clarence only replied.

"You can have it." Jeff offers the pamphlet to his buddy.

"Really?"

"Yep, since you just made us the receivers of this."

Clarence snatches the pamphlet from Jeff's grasp. "Yahoo!"

"Just remember, keep it to yourself until I said we use that thing soon! Got it?"

"Got it, sir!" Clarence answered with a salute and a serious tone.

"Clarence…" Jeff shook his head from Clarence's antics, but deep inside, he was happy on this day even when they are on the bottom of the pack.

Both of them left the palace with smiles on their faces.

It's Leni & Luan! Sisters from the Loud House!

The reason why I removed them: Redundancy, realizing that I have no plans for them amid the race.

This time I will be inspecting carefully for the next batch of teams for the next season! I'm already excited about this! LOL.

Did you know? #2

Since this season is still in progress, the plans for the top three is still a debate over my mind. It pretty means that I still have to choose which three teams will make it to the finals, this is a tough decision for me to choose! And of course, no revealing yet! Not until the finals, you just have to wait to see it! :P
