A/N: I understand the randomized decisions might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I don't want to favorite one team over the other and I can see the Newlyweds heading out first. It just leaves a lot of branching paths to go with and has a variety of reasons for each team to leave early. Anyway, it's something I rolling with so I'll keep with it.
Episode 2-Gators and Riders
The teams were staying overnight in a Holiday Inn all rooms paid for by the show. Phil and Don told the to rest up as their next leg began the next day. Until then, they would help themselves to the buffet and each other's company.
"I will say that New York has some of the best shopping malls one could wish for." Thornton stated as he sat down with a plate of strawberry cake.
"Part of the reason why Lindsay and Beth made their way away from here." Rebecca added as she and Athena sat down with him and Pollyanna.
"It's sad not having the Newlyweds with us." Athena interjected as she picked at her salad.
"The honeymoon isn't a place to race around the world. It's between a married couple celebrating their own peace and love." Serena explained.
"Gag me with a spoon." Gordon stated, sarcastically.
Serena grabbed a spoon so tempted as she put it down in restraint.
"What boils you?" Rebecca asked with a sour tone.
"I didn't want on here in the first face. She is the numbskull that thought this up." Gordon complained.
"Вы должны иметь больше уважения к своему партнеру." Pollyanna warned in Russian.
"Translation." Gordon requested.
"She said you should have more respect for your partner. She chose you to come along on this race." Thornton translated.
"I didn't want to come. However, she insisted that I play along with her. I'm surprised we came in at the place we did." Gordon stated.
Serena and Gordon(The Odd Couple): Do you really want to lose out on some big money all because you just don't wanna be here? I'm not up for it Serena. You knew that. I just wanted to share an experience with a good friend. You never saw anything my way.
Kitty decided to take another selfie of her getting her food. The brightness form the camera phone blinded Stephanie as she growled at the Sisters up front.
"Can't you stop taking pictures of yourself for five minutes?" Stephanie asked with a scowl on her face.
"My deets need to know where the traveling master are. These ar memories I'm making."
Kitty replied as she took five more selfies.
Emma sighed and went up to The Daters as she cleared her throat.
"Sorry about that. I know my sister's habit can be daunting." Emma apologized.
"Steph is on edge. We just got back in the game and we don't want to mess it up." Ryan explained as he held his girlfriend's shoulders.
"You're darn right! And I don't need sympathy from you!" Stephanie exclaimed as she pointed at Emma.
Emma's eyes widened at the sudden outburst from Stephanie.
"You may wanna keep to yourself for now." Ryan whispered as Emma took the hint walking away.
Emma and Kitty(The Sisters): Geez, I never knew one person could get hyped up and so into a game. I don't understand what's wrong with a little memos. My Twitter and Instagram need to be up to date for my friends back home. Maybe I can figure out one reason.

"I shall give these bags to the clerks." Rico added as he took their bags up to the front desk.
Travis and Rico(The Photographers): Coming in last to the airport wasn't the best feeling in the world. We now have to make sure to be faster than Emma and Kitty. This stinks that they had to be the team we have to beat in order to stay in.
The Roommates were the next team to head on the 6:15 flight. The Cheerleaders became the last team coming in as well.
"Oh, this is exciting! I think we are also sharing seats." Penny exclaimed as she checked her ticket.

"It was super boring on that plane. I felt like I was going to explode from boredom." Harvey stated as he slouched his shoulders.
"That's scientifically impossible." Penny interjected.
"Dial that back, Penny. He won't understand much." Clara retorted as she brought Penny back by the shoulder.
"Women always underestimate me. I'm The life of the excitement." Harvey boasted.
"That's about every guy you meet in your lifetime. Hardly anything to be proud about." Hannah retorted with an amused smirk.
"Would dinner change your mind?" Harvey offered.
"Not even in your dreams," Hannah declined.

"This is stupid. This is stupid." Dash chanted.
"Come here, I've got a stick to catch you with." Gordon stated.
A wild gator swam its way towards Gordon and tried snapping at him. Gordon backed up ending tripping himself in the swamp. The gator swam towards him as he gently got himself back up before he approached slowly. He then tied the end around the gator's amount as the gator thrashed in the water splashing anything within a foot of him.

"For your information, I have a public image to uphold. Like anyone pays attention to a pipsqueak who is an evil genius." Tonia replied.
"I'm cuter than you and you know it. How many times have I gotten ya out of trouble being adorable?" Arielle asked with a smug smirk.
"You are asking to be thrown off this train." Tonia replied.

Genesis and Dash were busy making out at the front of the line grossing out nearby riders.
Genesis and Dash(The Lovey Dovey): We make out in public all the time. What of it? Are we really hurting anyone?

The Twin Blades came up as they saw what was going on. They saw as their car passed by feeling sorry for the team as Haruki got out of the car.

"You need to get back in your own car." Pollyanna warned.

"Haruki, Yoshiro, normally, you would be Team #16, but I was informed that, despite heroic actions, you didn't finish the ride at the Speedway and unfortunately will have to suffer a 15-minute time penalty. As long as Stephanie and Alex do not come here within that time, you will still be in the race." Phil announced
Haruki and Yoshiro held their heads down as they started their time limit. About three minutes in, however, Stephanie and Alex came running in as the Twin Blades were about to accept defeat on their part when Stephanie stopped in front of them.
"Oh, this is too rich! I can't believe you both thought you could beat us this time. This is so deserving." Stephanie stated.
"Uh...Steph…" Ryan tried to interject, but Stephanie kept the rambling on.
"You thought you were all high and mighty trying to be the heroes. Hahahahahaha! Not so tough now, are you?" Stephanie taunted with a confident smirk.
"Why don't you just claim your victory and leave us alone?" Yoshiro asked.
"Why not bask in this moment? I was scared that I thought me and Ryan lost, but I just had to rub this in your faces. Two nobodies against a competitive athletes like myself. I don't pull any punches and it looks like the universe has supply me with yet another win. We may be going in last next time, but that is enough motivation to try harder and get a better placement." Stephanie replied.
"Steph…" Ryan tried to get his girlfriend's attention, but she waved him off.
"You think you fencers have any right to try and sneak your way to a win? You could've had won already, but had to play the heroes. Losers like you two never prosper and that's one of the reasons why you lost here today." Stephanie explained.
Don looked at his watch noticing six more minutes on the watch for the penalty. Phil was ready to call security if needed to make sure this didn't get out of hand.
"Why are you so mean? Why are you so competitive?" Haruki asked.
"Cause I like to win, nerd! Maybe you understand that if you actually beat us." Stephanie replied.
"Okay, so maybe we aren't going to win. Why don't you just take your victory so we can get going already?" Yoshiro asked.
"Steph...they are right. The finish mat is right there." Ryan replied.
"I don't care! I want them to feel what real losers they are." Stephanie barked.
"Okay, that's it! I have had it up to here with your attitude so far! There's being competitive and then there is having a psychotic ego about it! You have demonstrated that you would rather put people down for losing rather than just taking the win and letting them walk away fair and square. You are not the woman I met." Ryan explained.
"How dare you tell me that?!" Stephanie demanded with her fists balled up and glaring down Ryan.
"If I didn't, you would have be having such an egotistical problem that we would be losing anyway." Ryan answered as he crossed his arms.
Don saw the time penalty was up and motioned for the Twin Blades onto the mat.
"Haruki, Yoshiro, you're Team #16!" Phil announced.
The friends hugged each other tightly saving themselves from elimination as Stephanie turned and gasped.
"As for you two, you're the last team to check-in. You're both eliminated." Don announced.

"I won't accept this! I can't accept this!" Stephanie yelled as she launched herself at the hosts.
