My comments for the reviews in the last chapter:
Platrium: Then I have to make an original leg now and it will be on the next leg! The last time I made one was when the finale of the first season came. :3
Episode 4, Part 4 – "One Is Better Than Two" – Theodore
Beethoven Museum
Timmy & Chloe – Neighbors
The duo suddenly learned that they have arrived at the place of interest as they saw a route arrow marker on its wall.
"We found it! We found it!" Chloe chanted happily. "I can't believe it! It took us forever to find it!"
"Wow, we really did take forever to find the place," Timmy admitted.
Both started running quickly, guiding and focusing on the route arrows that will lead them towards the room.
Timmy & Chloe (Confessional)
"Well, what do you know?" Timmy said first. "What a tough shot that was! It was a pain in my butt but I guess it rewarded us."
"That… was… insane!" Chloe exclaimed, expanding and flailing his arms to justify her reaction.
They arrived in the room where they meet the Beethoven guy and swapped their musical papers with the clue, brought by the latter. Timmy received the clue gladly.
"Thank you."
Timmy & Chloe – currently in 6th Place
"Make your way to… uhhh… can't read it…" Timmy said and stammered.
"I can handle this…" Chloe commented, snatching the clue from Timmy. "Dona-ooh-turm."
"Well, what do you know, you know it."
"Okay, okay, we need to go," Chloe replied and greeted Beethoven goodbye before they can leave.
Hundertwasser House
Linda & Lawrence – 4th Place; arrived at 1:35pm
"So far, so good," Phil said after announcing that they are safe. "You're still in this thing, guys. What do you think will be the reaction if you keep this pace until the end and the final leg?"
"I have never thought of that until now," Lawrence confessed.
"Nah, we'll have to keep our eyes for anything and that's it. If something happened, it happened." Linda answered.
"What if we got eliminated next, hon?" Lawrence asked his wife.
"Then it happened, nothing we can do about it," Linda replied with a shrug.
Music and Arts Private University of Vienna
Sanjay & Craig – 3/10 correct answers – 3rd Attempt
"I'm sorry but you failed." The professor announced. "Try again."
"Awww, snap!" Sanjay reacted with an actual snap. "Again and again, man."
"Don't worry, they're still here though," Craig said, whispering against his buddy's ear.
"Yeah, we can deal with that."
Eleanor & Theodore – 4/10 correct answers – 5th Attempt
"Try again." The musical teacher told them.
"GAHHH!" Eleanor cried as she hastily went back to her seat and plopped herself on her chair with lazy eyes.
Theodore gazed on her and sighed.
Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)
Theodore sighed once again. "I can't believe we've been there for long. I gotta do something before Eleanor can cause any trouble!"
"Theodore, just answer it for me, please," Eleanor told Theodore. "I am so tired of this thing over and over again.
"O-okay…" Theodore simply answered.
He put on the headphone over his head to begin exploring for any new learnings.
As time passes by, Theodore attentively listened to the compositions of Mozart as he attempts many answers to write.
"This one?" He simply wrote the letter of his guessing.
"Nah, I think it's this one." He erased his first answer and wrote down a new one. "Yeah, it is!"
"Uh-huh, it's this letter." He wrote the letter.
After a few minutes of silence, Theodore stood up and made his way to the professor to verify his answer. While Eleanor propped her chin in her right palm in the table, tapping continuously.
"Here you go, my good sir." He passed the answer sheet.
The professor concentrated on every letter that the chipmunk answered, hoping they can pass this time. After a careful evaluation, the professor stared at Theodore, who looked somehow frightened at his look.

"Congratulations, you passed." The professor announced.
Eleanor & Theodore – 6/10 correct answers
Theodore's eyes gaped after hearing the result, while Eleanor lightened up and gawked at him.
"Huh?" She reacted stupidly, rubbing her ears for clarification
"I did it!" Theodore exclaimed, jumping in celebration. "I did it!"
Eleanor, mouth agape, while seeing her partner made his way back to her with the ecstatic mood on his face.
"I finished it!" He said. "I did it, Eleanor!"
He then embraces the still dumbfounded Eleanor, who now realizes the reality and reciprocates the embrace.
Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 7th Place
"Theodore, you did it!" Eleanor compliments Theodore. "You really did it."
They let go of each other as Theodore presents the clue in front of her, to prove that he finished the task of his own as he rips open the clue.
"Alright, let's do this!" Theodore said after reading silently, offering a fist to Eleanor, who gladly accepted and bumped.
They left the music school with a team remaining.
Danaube Tower
Charlie & Viola – currently in 5th Place
Charlie picks up the pamphlet from the box and tears it open to reveal a new Roadblock task.
"Who doesn't mind about hanging from their ankles?" She reads the question from the clue. "I guess I'll have to do it, I don't mind hanging unless it's real."
"Oof, okay." Viola reacted unsurely. "Go for it, I guess."
Viola watches Charlie made her way inside of the tower as the latter entered the elevator and has ascended to the top.
Beethoven Museum
Clarence & Jeff – Best Friends
"Museum? Any museum?" Clarence asked a local.
"Uhhh… three blocks…" The local answered, gesturing his right. "Then you see old walls, there's the museum."
"Okay, thanks. Jeff, we might have found it."
"We're still not sure though, it might be a different museum," Jeff replied, unsure on the tip that the local shared to them.
"But we're not wasting any time, so let's visit that museum!"
Jeff nodded as he began sprinting whilst Clarence dehydrates himself with water and followed suit.
Danaube Tower
Charlie & Viola – Sisters
"Are you ready?" One of the safety crew asked Charlie.
"I am ready!" Charlie replied with confidence. "Here I go!"
Charlie then leaped over the platform and cried at how crazy the velocity was.
"Whoa! That's really, really high!" Viola exclaimed.
Charlie & Viola (Confessional)
"This was my first time jumping off without using any powers or magic and that was scary!" Charlie confessed. "I would never do that again!"
"If I were you, I'd just feel it like I'm in a movie," Viola said.
While Charlie was in the air, Viola was surprised to look behind to see a new team arriving in the tower and that team snatch an envelope to rip and read.
Timmy & Chloe – currently in 6th Place
"Oh, wow, we caught up to them! This is great!" Chloe said ecstatically.
"It's a Roadblock. Who doesn't mind about hanging from their ankles?" Timmy reads the question. "Chloe, you must do it."
"What?!" Chloe reacted in disbelief. "Why me?"
"I'm pretty sure I got a phobia of heights." Timmy reasoned.
"Acrophobia?" Chloe elaborated, sighing after realizing that this will lead to nowhere. "Alright, alright, I'm going there!"
She looked up to see Charlie picking up the clue below as she continues to scream mid-air, she gulped in reaction.
"Let me back up! Let me back up!" Charlie desperately requested.
When the mechanism went back up to the top, Charlie was holding his breath and chest to recuperate herself.
Charlie & Viola – currently in 5th Place
"Wow, that was… unbelievable…" Charlie said. "Never gonna do that… again!"
Music and Arts Private University of Vienna
Sanjay & Craig – Adoptive Brothers
"One more answer…" Craig said, observing the answer sheet that was currently written by Sanjay. "We gotta get it this turn!"
"Then the last letter must be letter D." Sanjay assumed, writing the said letter on the last number. "I think it is done!"
"Alright, get that score going!"
Sanjay stood up from his chair and walks casually towards the professor. He then passes the answer sheet to validate the ten answers. After a minute of careful inspection, he looked upon Sanjay to reveal the score.
"Congratulations, you passed the test." The professor announced, the clue was presented afterward.
Sanjay & Craig – 9/10 correct answers
"Yes!" Sanjay exclaimed.
"Woo-hoo!" Craig jumped in celebration. "Let's go, dude!"
Sanjay & Craig – currently in 8th Place
"Thank you so much!" Sanjay said, shaking hands with the professor.
"Thank you too!" Craig added.
Both men left the school as they have to hunt for a cab.
Beethoven Museum
Clarence & Jeff – currently in Last Place
"Thank you so much," Clarence said after receiving the clue from Beethoven. "Make your way to Donauturm and search for your next clue… we should rest first, the running makes me sweat so much…"
"Not now, maybe you can rest in the taxi." Jeff declined the request, suggesting a new idea.
"Alright then…"
Jeff came out of the room first then Clarence who has difficulties running straight as his eyes are concentrated towards his partner.
"Gotta get that rest…" He muttered.
Danaube Tower
Timmy & Chloe – Neighbors
"AHHHHHH!" Chloe cried in the air, eyes are closed because of how scary it is. "OH, MY GOOOD!"
"Hey, get that clue down there! Open your eyes!" Timmy shouted from below.
Chloe obliged and her eyes were drenched in tears as she tries to fight the horror of this challenge. Extending her arms and her willingness to conquer the challenge has helped her surpassed the task as she picks up the clue from below.
"I got it!" Chloe announced, then asks Timmy. "Hey, can I scream again?"
Timmy & Chloe – currently in 6th Place
"Well… yeah, sure, go ahead." Timmy replied with a shrug.
"Okay… AHHHHH!" Chloe continued screaming in the air.
?
Clarence & Jeff – Best Friends
"Do you know where the tower is?" Clarence asked the driver but gathered nothing from the latter. "Okay… now what?"
"We still have the chance and we're not gonna screw it!" Jeff said, promising to himself.
Hundertwasser House
Charlie & Viola – 5th Place; arrived at 2:11pm
"You guys are team number five," Phil announced their placement for this leg.
"Oh, boy!" Charlie exclaimed as they both shared fives with each other.
"We're still good," Viola added.
Few minutes have passed when another team was spotted running towards the mat.
"Timmy & Chloe, you are team number six!" Phil announced.
Timmy & Chloe – 6th Place; arrived at 2:17pm
"Hooray!" Chloe celebrated ecstatically. "This is great! I'm still wondering how the other guys are doing right now."
"I think they are in the worst position possible." Timmy speculated.
"I hope they can make it!" Chloe wished.
"I hope so," Timmy said, not bothering to look at Chloe as he crossed his arms like he did not care about anything.
Danaube Tower
Eleanor & Theodore – Best Friends
Because of what Theodore did at the Detour, Eleanor decided to take care of this task as she owes it to him for not being able to engage in the musical challenge.
She was currently on the platform, there is no fear visible over her face as she prepares for the challenge.
"I'm ready!" She exclaimed.
"Okay, one… two… three… GO!"
She fearlessly hopped on and cried in joy when she was in mid-air.
"WOOHOO! YEAH!"
Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)
"I was completely aware of what I have been doing to Theodore in the past few legs and now since this whole problem of mine won't just go, I just decided to give the favor to me," Eleanor said, sighing at the times that she had a minor meltdown. "I hope this will end soon."
Eleanor grabs the clue with ease while Theodore watches her in amazement.
"Wow! She is back again! Woohoo! Go, Eleanor!"
Eleanor & Theodore – currently in 7th Place
The girl chipmunk made her way back to the platform successfully as she catches her breath before taking the exit.
"Okay, time to go…"
Hundertwasser House
The production decided to already show the arrival of the chipmunks for the sake of the suspense and competition between the last two teams.
Eleanor & Theodore – 7th Place; arrived at 2:44pm
"What do you think of your teammate so far, Eleanor?" Phil asked her.
"Uhhh…" She paused. "I don't even know where to put this but… Theodore is such a kind and honest man. He really is different than others out there, he's such an extraordinary guy, he is one of a kind. That's what I like about him." She smiles towards Theodore, who failed to cover her flushed cheeks.
"Awww, thank you so much, Eleanor. That message really means to me…" Theodore replied, flattered by the compliment of his partner. "…honest."
Now it was Eleanor's turn to be flushed as she tries to cover it. "Come here, 'ya big guy." She chuckled then embraces him, reciprocated by Theodore.
"I guess one is better than two, hehe," Theodore muttered amid the hug-fest.
"Wow… that was such a sweet moment." Phil said to the camera.
Danaube Tower
Sanjay & Craig – currently in 8th Place
"Roadblock," Craig said, after seeing the color inside the envelope. "You know what to do."
"Okay, okay…" Sanjay accepted the offer. "I'll go!"
Clarence & Jeff – currently in Last Place
Jeff opens the clue on his own. "Who doesn't mind about hanging from their ankles?"
"Uhhh…" Clarence only replied.
Jeff groaned. "I guess I'll have to do it. We're in a hurry right now."
The screen turned double when the camera spots both Sanjay & Jeff arrived at the top. Both guys looked horrified when they looked down.
"Go, Jeff! Let's go!" Clarence cheered and clapped simultaneously.
"Sanjay! Sanjay! Sanjay!" Craig chanted, rallying behind his partner.
The participants up above tried to fight the phobia of jumping off. Both did just that and simultaneously jumped from the platform, screaming from the top of their lungs.
"AHHHHH!" Jeff screamed.
"OH MY GOD!" Sanjay cried loudly.
"COME ON!" Clarence yelled from down below.
As the time progresses, Jeff picks up the clue first then Sanjay and retained their high-risk spot until the signal was called to pull them up.
Clarence & Jeff – currently in 8th Place
"Make your way to the next Pit Stop…" Jeff began reading the clue.
Sanjay & Craig – currently in Last Place
"…Hundert-Wasserhaus…" Sanjay ended the info reading.
"Come on, let's go!" Craig requested as they left the area.
"We still have the taxi here, let's go!" Clarence told Jeff, who nodded as they also left.
?
Sanjay & Craig – Adoptive Brothers
"Hundertwasserhaus?" Sanjay told the driver, who nodded promptly. "Go-go-go-go!"
"Come on, come on…" Craig said, frightened on the possibility of getting eliminated.
Clarence & Jeff – Best Friends
"He knows where that is, I can feel it," Jeff told Clarence.
"You know it's crazy when you said that, it's like you've known everything," Clarence replied, unimpressed by the comment of Jeff.
The suspense music played when both encountered traffic problems. For Sanjay & Craig, they experienced a full stop in a traffic light; meanwhile, Clarence & Jeff's driver has faced difficulty turning when the car in front of them blocked the way.
"Can you please, hurry up?" Jeff told the driver.
"Just go, please! GO!" Sanjay exclaimed, wiping his sweat from his face.
The vehicles moved in unison as they waited for the presence of the colorful apartment.
Hundertwasser House
The production decided to cut out any unnecessary moments from that point on as the camera showed the wonderful, colorful house in Vienna.
Clarence & Jeff – Best Friends
"There it is..." Jeff said. "…that huge house building."
"Wow, that's amazing." Clarence was impressed by the building's appearance.
"Prepare for anything and let's pick our bags already."
"Got it."
Sanjay & Craig – Adoptive Brothers
"What in the world… that's the place, right?" Craig simply amazed by the colors that were utilized in the apartment. "That's cool!"
"Stop here! Stop here! Stop here!" Sanjay requested the driver, who nodded as the vehicle stopped beside. "I'll get the bags…"
"Alright, I'll go first."
Both teams were now running like wild animals as they will vie for the last spot to stay in the race. They sprint from left to right, north to south.
"Where is he?" Craig asked.
"Where are you, Phil?" Clarence added.
"Oh, he's there! I see him!" Sanjay said.
"There he is!" Jeff added.
As a pair of feet went faster in front of the host and the greeter, that team have stomped the mat and relieved that they are finished racing for a while… or isn't it?

"Clarence & Jeff… you are still in the race and you are team number eight." Phil declared them as the survivors of the leg.
Clarence & Jeff – 8th Place; arrived at 3:23pm
Clarence gasped and replied. "Wow… really… that's great!"
"Thank goodness…" Jeff added, wiping off the excess sweat from his face. "That was… crazy!"
Clarence & Jeff (Confessional)
"That was so close!" Clarence exclaimed. "I thought we're gonna lose!"
"Not this day, Clarence, not this day," Jeff replied.
Hundertwasser House
The last team soon arrived on the mat as the greeter waved them.
"Sanjay & Craig… you are the last team to arrive." Phil announced. "I'm sorry that you have been eliminated from the race."
Sanjay & Craig – ELIMINATED
Sanjay grunted in reaction.
"Wow, that was… unexpected…" Craig commented on their elimination. "I can't believe it!"
"It was the great experience ever in my life…"
"Mine as well, it's so great to travel around the world, especially with my buddy," Craig admitted.
"Wow… I still can't believe it…" Sanjay's voice almost cracked, almost getting emotional from this moment.
Both of them hi-fived each other.
Sanjay & Craig (Confessional)
"Not gonna lie, it kinda sucks that we're leaving early and we thought we would be getting this," Sanjay said. "It really sucked, but not disappointed at ourselves though."
"I enjoy every part that we're in when the camera is filming us, it's all part of our memories!" Craig added.
The screen showed the memorable moments of their team, especially when they devour their sausages back at Prague.
Both were now walking out of the Pit Stop mat.
"I'm so proud of you, dude!" Craig said to Sanjay.
"I'm so proud of you too…" Sanjay reciprocated the compliment.
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 to narrate the sneak peek of the next leg. "Teams leaned on with each other…"
"Nice job, guys!" Charlie complimented her partner and others while partaking in a deep activity.
"As the Intersection will come into play…"
"You have got to be kidding me? Why is this even happening?!" Sami ranted.
"Oh dear, oh dear," Eleanor said.
"As their opportunity for the million dollars, still hangs on the balance…"
Some of the participants fell off on their bicycles too many times as they groaned each time they failed.
"This sucks!" Steve groaned in frustration.

Leg 3's Bonus/Deleted/Extra Scene #2: Wise or Dumb Decision?
"YES! WE'RE GONNA USE THE EXPRESS PASS!" Chloe cried, forcefully to take a pass off the Detour.
Timmy traded the pass with the clue, which was consists of two ribbons, to the watercourse operator.
Meanwhile, a team sneakily watched the team used the most prized possession.
Eleanor & Theodore (Confessional)
"Did they just used it? Did they?!" Eleanor reacted in disbelief, putting her hands on her hips. "That's totally a waste!"
"NOOOO!" Theodore only cried feigningly. "Not the pass!"
Clarence & Jeff (Confessional)
"Really? Have they used it already?" Clarence said.
"I don't really mind that, to be honest," Jeff commented. "The important thing is that we need to get the other Express Pass before someone else does!"
Kevin & Sami (Confessional)
"That's the most stupid decision that someone ever made since a team never used the pass to surpass the task and got eliminated," Sami confessed. "And yes, I really have to compare with that."
"The only difference that they did survive…" Kevin added. "Lucky, despite getting in trouble for being last."
Linda & Lawrence (Confessional)
"I think it's okay that they used it, but that's my opinion," Linda said.
"Same sentiments, here. When in doubt, improvise." Lawrence added.
Emma & Noah (Confessional)
"How shame that they used it already because they're on the verge of being eliminated," Noah said nonchalantly.
"I think it's understandable for them to use the Express Pass, but I'm so disappointed that they never gave us the second pass," Emma added.
"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me; Fool me thrice, shame on them."
Sanjay & Craig (Confessional)
"I mean we did saw them having troubles and we finished them first before they did, so I can see why they used it in such early leg," Sanjay said.
"Man, they should give us the other one instead," Craig added, disappointed that they never got any message from the co-allies. "It's such a shame."
Stan & Steve (Confessional)
"Did they?" Stan asked the crew. "Really? That sounds… lame…"
"If you looked at them, they don't have the strength of an adult because obviously, they aren't," Steve said. "But, I guess their decision is theirs, I guess."
Charlie & Viola (Confessional)
"They used it? What?" Viola reacted in surprise, holding her head. "That was so foolish of them to use it that early…"
"I mean, in contrast, we felt relief after knowing that. And the other note, a team just received the second pass, so… it's still everyone's game at this point." Charlie added.
A/N: That's the end of the fourth leg, this chapter though, I did rush the writing and finished it in two hours, so yeah… :3
The next leg will be up as soon as possible! Stay tuned!
