Episode #2 – "Around a Leg in Three Countries" – Brittany
"Previously on The Amazing Race!" Phil kicking off the show in a voiceover. "11 Teams started their race around the world..." Phil started highlighting the previous episode.
The highlight shows the team's thunderous cheers and claps at the starting point. "GO!" As Phil swipes his arm down, the teams started running as fast as they can.
"...teams struggled earlier." Phil continued.
A montage of some teams struggling to find a specific magazine as they find it in every section of the aisles. Then some books started to fall from their position and some of the team members are in their troubled moods.
"While at Brazil, Irma breaks her emotions at the Roadblock!" Phil highlighting the next scene.
"How am I gonna go faster?" Irma started to sound eerie as she starts to cry and sits on the ground in frustration
"While the other teams lifted up her spirit!" Phil continued.
"You alright there, little girl? Come on, we help you put. I'll carry you out." Cyborg cheered her as she smiled.
"Thank you!" She replied with a big grin.
Then Cyborg carried her on his shoulders as him and Mac are now heading to another path going for a station
"While The Chipmunks, Alvin and Simon receives an ultimate push of luck. Aside from their lucky Express Pass gift..." Phil continues to highlight.
"Whoa! We got the Express Pass! Yes!" Alvin shouted as the team glanced at him and he hi-fived Simon.
"...they also came in first!" He finished his sentence.
"…you're team number one!" Phil shouted their placement. As they are jumping crazy and they hugged out.
"We feel that this Express Pass is the lucky charm!" Simon agreed to the last statement that Alvin gave, even though he accepted the fact that good luck is a coincidental and unintentional.
"While Lincoln gave it all already at the Roadblock!" He started again.
"Whoo!" Lincoln wipes his sweat on his face as he checks his ankle. "This is punishment in my ankle! Dang it! Gotta get going!" As he keeps walking clumsily. "I don't... I can't... make out of the forest." He started to slow down and sits carefully to the ground and rest his legs; he inhaled and exhaled calmly then sighed.
"As their journey for the million dollars is in jeopardy..." He continued. "...will they continue their expedition or their adventure of making new memories will be cut short?" Phil finished.
Phil glanced at the siblings at the pit stop. "What is your decision?" Phil finally said as he arched an eyebrow to the siblings.
"Find out... next!" Phil ended his cue as we are seeing the intro of The Amazing Race.
(The intro is on the first chapter then find it)
A collection of shots from different people, tall buildings, the destinations that the teams have visited then it ends at the first leg's pit stop, The Maze at Lima Square Park. We see Phil standing outside of the maze, the maze and a big and wide white building in the background.
"Lima Square Park is one of the most naturalistic and best attractions here in Lima! And one of the main points here..." He started to explain the place as he paused as he raised his hands to point at the maze. "...is this wonderful maze that is the center of attraction of this park. It is here that teams will start their next leg at their race around the world!" Phil finished.
"Alvin and Simon who won the last leg, and they will depart first at 7:11am!" Phil informed the viewers.
Alvin & Simon – departed at 7:11am
As they were outside of the maze with a mat stomping on their feet, Alvin holds a medium-sized white statues shaped like a government building, it could be wide as The White House, then Simon holds their clue and rips it to read their first task.
"Find a man that is wearing a Peru Flag T-shirt riding in a bicycle to trade the statue that you holding right now for your next clue." Simon read aloud as Alvin peeked over at the clue.
"Teams must find a man wearing a Peru Flag T-shirt who is riding on a bicycle. A little catch here is the man rides within the whole square. Once found this man..." Phil paused for a moment as he met the man in a bike and glanced as he gave the building-shaped statue to the man and he show the next clue to the camera which is an another statue that has a shape of a ship. "...trade the little statue of Peru's Government Building for their next clue." Phil finished.
"Okay, Alvin look to your left and I look for the right." Simon took cover at their duties as Alvin nodded and they started to jog. "Okay, I know the Peru's flag and this should be easy." Simon thought to himself as he kept his eye widened for the flag man.
"What a kick off at the second leg, the morning rays started to shine brightly and the heat is really distracting me off." Simon said in the confessional.
"Arghh! That man started to get me on my nerves!" Alvin growled as he continues to find that man.
A montage of the flag man riding somewhere at the park. After 20 minutes, the chipmunks met again back at the maze as they started to panting lightly.
"Did you find one?" Alvin asked, Simon responded with a shake on his head, definitely meaning a big NO. "Ugh! This is getting us nowhere!" Alvin whined louder.
After a few minutes of rest and doing nothing at a nearby tree, they got back up to their feet as they continue to find this man. Suddenly, they heard a ringing sound that is a sound that is coming from a certain vehicle that they used to drive at their home, they peek as they turn their backs as they saw a man riding a bicycle that is literally wearing a colorful t-shirt that resembles something. The direction of this man was taking was going in front of them, as they realized that this biker is the man that they wanted to see. After realizing, they started to walk towards and stop him on his tracks.
"We really wasted a precious half hour just for looking for that guy and then suddenly he came for us like..." Alvin said as he continued with inaudible and goofy nonsense as Simon groaned in annoyance at their confessional.
"Oh thank the Mother of Science! We did manage to find him at the place that we started." Simon said sarcastically as they stopped to the good-looking man.
"Sir? Do you have our clue?" Alvin asked politely as the man nodded and gave a weird figure as they were trading items. "Uh, what the heck is this?" He asked as he gave a look to every part of the ship statue.
Alvin & Simon – currently in 1st Place
Simon checked also the statue as he saw a medium-sized text on the portside and observes the text carefully as he reads silently. "Panamax..."
"Teams must figure it out that the statue that they have traded is referring to their next destination, which is the city of Panama in Panama! When they arrived, teams will drive themselves to the location of the ship which is The Panamax, which is nearby the Panama Canal where they will find their next clue." Phil explained.
Simon snapped his fingers as he figured the next route that they were going. "I know what it is! We're going to Panama!" Simon said as Alvin checked the portside and sees the text and facepalmed himself.
"Of course! What did I not see that?" Alvin being a clucky one. As they started to run outside of the square and starting to find taxi.
We are now at the airport where The Chipmunks have arrived and making their way inside as they headed towards to the counter for booking a flight.
"Do you have any flights to Panama? And we need to take the earliest one as soon as possible." Simon begged to the counter as the counter started to take a look on today's flight.
"Yes, it will be at 9:30am!" The counter informed them as they successfully found one and they are also concerned that some other teams might get on their flight. After a little transaction, the counter gave two tickets to The Chipmunks.
Alvin & Simon – 1st Team on 1st Flight
"Well, this may blow our lead!" Alvin stated as they sat down on the chairs and waited patiently.
Another team showed up at the Pit Stop Mat as they read the clue and started running
Marceline & Simon – departed at 8:13am
"Are you sure this is the right way?" Marceline asked to Simon as they continue to run.
"Yup! I'm damn sure!" Simon confidently said as they find that man and keep running as they headed to that man. He gave the statue and the man gave also a statue also which is their next clue and left.
Marceline & Simon – currently in 2nd Place
"A ship? Where's the clue?" Marceline said while observing the perfectly carved ship statue and Simon thinks he remembered this resemblance somewhere and he raised a finger indicating that he may have an idea.
"I know! It's Panamax!" Simon exclaimed as he turns to the other side of the ship and saw a text that reads "Panamax" also. "I know where we are going! Come on, follow me!" Simon commanded as Marceline follows him.
"What could you expect to this old man?" Marceline raised her palm to her partner to describe him. "This man is my geography teacher, you know? Heh." She continued and chuckled lightly at their confessional. Then they left the square as they found a taxi.
Another team showed up at the square as they started to wandered around the square as the heat keeps getting hotter and hotter
Mr. Bean & Irma – departed at 8:51am
"Ugh! Why do we do this again?" Irma asked sarcastically as they continue to run around.
At the airport counter, we saw The Adventurers standing there as they transact for their flight as a matter of minute goes by, they successfully get on the earliest flight and they have their tickets. After that, they saw The Chipmunks sitting with their poker faces wears on as they sat near them.
Marceline & Simon – 2nd Team on 1st Flight
"You're on the 9:30 one?" Alvin started the conversation as they nodded.
"Well we guess that we're racing for the first place again, isn't it?" The younger Simon asked them.
"Well..." Marceline rubbed her chin as she was thinking for a moment. "...Yeah! And this time, we're going first!" She continued with determination on his voice.
"I personally believed that this critters is our biggest enemies as of this moment, we almost got the first one at the last leg, as we earned the second spot. And this time, we steal the first place to them!" Marceline talked in the confessional as she started to turn into a warfreak.
"We really want that to happen but who knows? Anything can happen." Simon secretly jinxing their team(really?) as he spoke.
Back at the square, The Couple found the man and they did a little trade as they left the square. At the mat, we saw another team starts to find the biker.
Mr. Bean & Irma – currently in 3rd Place
Joey & Marky – departed in 9:13am
"Find a man that is wearing a Peru Flag T-shirt riding in a bicycle..." Joey read the instruction again just to make sure, as they keep walking.
"I think I saw one earlier, just behind us!" Marky forgot to remind him as Joey got upset at the late reminder.
"Marky is like an old man, sometimes he forgot to say something and sometimes he didn't know what to do. I am already disappointed that he remind me that he saw the Peru guy." Joey grunted in the confessional.
They kept walking until they found that man and they swap items until they left the square. Back at the airport, The Couple have bought their tickets as they collided with the first two teams in the earliest flight. Those teams have met the couple.
Mr. Bean & Irma – 3rd Team on 1st Flight
"Well! Hi there!" Mr. Bean greeted then as they greeted back.
"You're on the first flight, for sure?" The younger Simon curiously asked and the couple nodded.
"You know what time it is?" Alvin asked as the teams checked on a wide television and saw that it was 9:25am, five minutes remaining before their flight to roll on and the teams started to pack up as they proceed to the plane.
"Thank you!" Joey thanked the driver as they left their taxi and started to enter the airport.
They ran into the counter as fast as possible, trying to make a good transaction
"Can we have the earliest flight?" Joey asked.
"The earliest flight is now on board, please proceed to the plane right now." The counter said as she gave the tickets to the Roaches.
Joey & Marky – 4th Team on 1st Flight
"Thank you!" The roaches thanked as they rushed to their plane.
At the plane, we saw the three teams have seated and rested. After a few seconds, The Roaches successfully entered the plane as the teams were surprised by this.
"Man! Roaches just arrived on time! Still can't believe it!" Marceline still surprised as she confessed.
"Another close call. Still can't believed it, we managed to get to the first flight, that's the second time around. Hoping it won't happen again." Joey stated.
"...or it will." Marky added as Joey nudged him. "Ow!"
The Roaches sat down as the plane as it take off and flies away.
Eileen & Margaret – departed at 9:57am
"Hurry, Eileen!" Margaret ordered as The Workers is now running as they saw a certain that is wandering at the square. After that, Eileen whistled as the man heard and stopped on his tracks as the girls approached the rider. After a few moments, they swapped their statues as The Workers observed every part of it.
"Panamax..." Eileen saw a text on the side of the ship, as she repeatedly said the text three times as she quietly trying to decode the word. Until... "Marg! I know where this is!"
"Well what is it?" Margaret asked.
"Panama. We're going to Panama!" Eileen exclaimed.
Eileen & Margaret – currently in 5th Place
"Glad. You figure it out!" As Margaret said those words, they rushed to find a taxi and got one.
Another team was on the mat, reading and carefully scan every word in the clue, as they started to walk. As the time goes by at the park, the heat is starting to get on every person's nerves and also for a team.
Brittany & Jeanette – departed at 10:20am
"This could day get any worst?!" The pink-clothed critter complained as she uses a fan to get a cool down on herself; swiping the fan quickly.
"Well, if we found that man already, then you can settle down a bit!" The purple one answered as she wears a purple umbrella hat that she made before the race has started.
"Luckily, I was prepared for this kind of temperatures, since we are going around the world with different climates applied to it. I kinda like of Mother Nature of herself." Jeanette nervously chuckled and posed with a smile as she wears that hat at the confessional.
"Well? Why I don't have one?" Brittany glared at her sister as she peeked at the umbrella hat then she turned back.
"I told you before that you must create your own d-i-y's and you didn't listen after all!" Jeanette disappointed at her sister's forgotten task.
"Hmmmph…" Brittany crossed her arms and groaned.
"He must be here somewhere." Jeanette carefully observing her surrounding as she finds no sign of the man.
"Ugh! I already hate this day!" Brittany complained and whined as she covers her eyes were covered with her shoulders.
After a heat-exposing 25 minutes at the square, they still have no clue on the whereabouts of the biker, as they sit on a shadow-covered tree and rest there.
"Wow! I-I didn't expect to stay here for a long time." Jeanette was surprised that they are still on the first task.
"Get up there, Jeanette! We got to move before the other teams!" Brittany stood up and feeling motivated as she lend a hand to Jeanette, who is still surprised on the actions of her sister; gladly accepted the hand and started to move.
"But also I'm lucky that I have a determined and motivated sister right here!" Jeanette shows her palm as she points under the chin of Brittany who gladly accepted that praise.
A flashback showed where Lincoln sprained his ankle.
"This is punishment in my ankle! Dang it! Gotta get going!" Lincoln keeps walking clumsily. "I don't... I can't... make out of the forest." He started to slow down and sits carefully to the ground and rest his legs; he inhaled and exhaled calmly then sighed.
"I felt the sprain when I think dropped too hard when I got the clue from the rainforest, I guess. Guess the force is isn't within me. Heh." Lincoln chuckled lightly.
"...our medical team will check on your ankle as if it is a serious thing or not because if it is serious, your race might be over. Hope you understand that, right?" Phil reminded the boy as he nodded and glanced to his sister as she nodded and hugged him.
"After Phil said that, I already wished that this will not be a serious as I expected..." Lincoln sighed and he still wished for his statement to become a reality. "...also after that, I already went to the professional orthopedist to check out its severity." Lincoln entered the room with his partner, Lori who is still worried on the status of his injury.
The orthopedist starts to check his right ankle where the injury came from and scans the said ankle then use a safety and white colored tape to wrap his injury. After a few minutes, the results have been out.
"Well after a careful observations and scanning on your injured right ankle, the result concluded that your right ankle..." The specialist paused as he was gonna say the final verdict at their fate at the competition, as Lori pouted and shivered a little. "...is not that severe as it looks and the damage of the ankle is not that serious. But please refrain from doing any tasks that involves running or walking as per recommendation." He calmly concluded the result as Lori cheered and hugged Lincoln as she received a miraculous news.
"However..." The doctor said as the moment ended already and broke the embrace. "...you'll decide if you're continuing the race or not. It's your decision, little boy!"
After that statement, the specialist left them with a silence from the siblings. They are thoughtless, and speechless to say anything right now.
"Lincoln..." Lori broke the silence as he put her hands in his shoulder. "...you must literally decide right now. I don't care if we stay or we leave this competition, I respect your decision and I will still be there with you." Lori calmly said as she smiled at him.
Lincoln smiled back then his face went from confidence to zero, as he currently talking with his subconscious for a final choice. After a few minutes, he stood carefully as he was about to say something.
"I think I have my decision. Come on, Lori! Let's go to Phil." Lincoln answered calmly as his sister followed him to exit the room and left the hospital, as they proceeded to the pit stop.
Phil glanced at them. "What is your decision?" Phil finally said as he arched an eyebrow to the siblings. Awkward pause happened as Lincoln is still on a game of tug-of-war on his mind. The silence starts to become slow-mo as the screen goes black, as we get to a commercial break.
Back at the show, silence stood still as Lincoln still tries to make a final decision. After a few seconds, he finally opened his mouth and the final decision will be taken from his mouth.
"Since the doctor recommends to me that I have the power to continue or not and since this race is only getting started..." Lincoln paused as he sighed deeply. "...I can still carry on and I will continue racing. Just for my sake of my promise to my sister." He glanced at her with a smile and Lori replied with a grin as she embraced him again. She felt joy in her body as she shook his body to show the joy at least.
"Oh Lincoln, you literally are the best brother that I could ever had!" Lori remarked her bro's decision as she broke the embrace and grinned at her then kissed his forehead.
"I would say that was not a bad choice, Lincoln..." Phil judged the decision. "...as per your decision, you are still racing!" Both of them nodded.
Back at the pit stop, The Siblings read the clue and started to walk. As per Lincoln, he walks slowly and clumsily. Lori stayed at him to guide Lincoln.
Lincoln & Lori – departed at 10:50am
"Well! At last my wish came true! I do not worry anymore about getting out already but I gotta stay careful and do not involve at any physical tasks of this leg." Lincoln reminded at the orthopedist's recommendation and happily swinging his fist at the confessional. Lori nodded and crossed her arms as she smiled lightly.
After a few minutes, they saw a glimpse of a bicycle riding nearby the government building. They reached out after a few minutes of slowly walking. Then they traded their statues to one another.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 6th Place
"A ship? Is this our clue?" Lori asked as the Peru man left them thinking. While they are on a game of decoding, they heard some shouts as they stopped their thinking game and saw The Chipettes waving at them as they are approaching to them.
"Hey..." Brittany paused for a moment as she heaved after a long run. "...did you found the man already?" She asked and saw that they have a statue that is different from them.
"Uh... Yeah!" Lincoln nervously responded and scratches his hair.
"Where is he by the way?" Jeanette asked as The Siblings pointed their indexes as The Chipettes turn their backs and saw the man riding back directing to the maze.
"Oh crud! Come on!" Brittany said as Jeanette followed and The Siblings are back again at figuring out.
"Oh! I got it!" Lincoln snapped his finger as he figure it out and Lori was just curious to find out.
"Panama, of course! Duh!" Lincoln feeling dumbfounded at himself as he said their next destination. Soon after, The Chipettes came back to them as they succeeded at the task.
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in 7th Place
"Oh hey guys! Seems you got the clue, right?" Lincoln asking honestly.
"Yup! Panama is our next destination!" Jeanette cutting to the conclusion.
"Yeah, we know it already. Come on let's find some taxis!" Lincoln convinced them as they nodded.
"Sure!" Jeanette agreed as they rushed out to find taxis.
While they are finding some taxis, Lori gazed at The Chipettes who are looking good at their appearance.
"Hey! You're looking good at your outfits, girls!" Lori said as Brittany blushed lightly at the remarks of the teenage girl.
"Why thank you! Hehe." Brittany scratched her hair and nervously chuckled at the tall lady.
While Jeanette, seems to heard of it but she doesn't care about it as they finally found some taxis, then left the park. While another team left the mat as they scattered to the premises of the square.
Bloo & Mac – departed at 11:29am
"Search for a man who is riding in a bicycle..." Mac remembered the first words of the clue as he is walking towards to a building.
"Have you seen a bike, sir?" Bloo asked a local and didn't respond to it and continues to walk. "Ugh! Why in this long and hot park?" He complained as he continues to search for the man.
"Phew! It's sweaty hot in here!" Mac started to sweat as he keeps walking and wandering around.
"Have you seen it?" Mac keeping asking questions as he groaned in annoyance due to the answers that have been responded. Until...
"Ow! Watch were you go-" He started to complain but stopped as he collided with someone and he looked up as he saw a man who is riding a bicycle. "Uh, hi!"
Bloo remembered that they must find a man who is riding on a bicycle as he escape his thoughts.
"Uhm... here's the statue that you wanted. Hihi." Bloo faked his smile and clenched his teeth. As they swap statues, Bloo suddenly felt a burning sensation as he ran as fast as he can to his partner.
While Mac is still covering his hand as he squinted his eyes from the heat and also to find that man, he saw a silhouette running faster and he narrowed his eyes and saw that his partner is running like a cheetah, of some sort.
"Mac..." Bloo panted heavily. "...it's our next clue!" He continued as Mac hold it and checking its details.
"Maybe we should ask someone for this ship." Mac suggested as his partner is still on the process of panting.
"You... Go..." Bloo said as he inhaled and exhaled.
Mac understands that his partner was not fine as he started to ask the people. After five minutes, his mission felt flat until he saw a tall and white-skinned man who is like a tourist at the place; he approached to the man and asked about what ship is he holding.
"That's from Panama!" The man said as he checked the side of the ship and gave it back to Mac.
Bloo & Mac – currently in 8th Place
"Thank you!" Mac thanked the man as he proceeded back to Bloo, who is feeling right now after a hot and long walk.
"Man! I got the info!" Mac shouted as he approaches to Bloo. "We're going to Panama!"
"Oh, cool!" Bloo responded as they started to leave the square.
At the airport, The Workers, The Siblings and The Chipettes met each other as they were sitting on the connected chairs as they talked with each other.
Eileen & Margaret – 1st Team on 2nd Flight
Lincoln & Lori – 2nd Team on 2nd Flight
Brittany & Jeanette – 3rd Team on 2nd Flight
"So how's your injury right now, Linc?" Lori asked as the other teams feel worried at the current condition of the white-haired boy. Lincoln felt awkward as he was surrounding with girls.
"Uh... It's fine, it's fine!" He answered and scratched his hair.
"Are you sure it's not that serious?" Jeanette asked as she was concerned on the boy.
"Yup, the doctor said to me." He nodded as Jeanette holds her chest as she found the good news.
"Well, maybe a little rest could feel you well." Eileen suggested making her partner agreed.
"Yeah, I think so. Thanks guys!" He accepted the recommendation as he leaned at the chair and sighed.
While the boy is resting at the chair, the girls started to talk about everything just like, fashion, make-ups, their works and jobs, etc. As the boy slept well.
"Well that chit-chat sure feels good, I got to met the other girls. So literally fantastic!" Lori stated in the confessional.
"...but the chit-chat, makes me feel..." Brittany paused. "...like-like-like I should have a plan for this!" She laughed like an evil demon and Jeanette nudged her. "Ow!"
At the park, The Titans found the man and traded statues as they analyzed the ship.
Robin & Cyborg – currently in 9th Place
"Intriguing and interesting..." Robin said as he rubbed his chin.
"Ah, Robin?" Cyborg called his name.
"Hmm?"
"I think you should look at this." Cyborg switched the side of the ships as he wants to see the text that is written on the side of the ship.
"Oh, Panamax." Robin nervously reads the text.
"Come on, I know where this is!" Cyborg confirmed it as they started to pack up and leave the place.
The Wrestlers just left the mat as they started to focus on searching for the biker.
Luke & Karl – departed at 12:49pm
"The first leg was just a mess up and we ended still messed up. Although, we're not on the last place, we make sure that we are still standing tall on this race and takeover the upcoming legs." Karl said at his confessional.
"There he is!" Luke pointed out a finger as Karl saw the biker and nodded as they followed the biker.
They reached to the biker as they switched items and gladly they know the ship.
Luke & Karl – currently in 10th Place
"Well, I'm gonna miss this place." Luke said as he checks the whole place for the last time.
"Me too." Karl followed as they left the park to find a taxi.
The last team have departed as they read the clue and started to run.
Susan & Mary – departed at 1:30pm
"Lucky for us that we spare elimination and we will start to change up things." Mary said in the confessional.
"Yeah! And we must also face a Speed Bump, which is... kinda bumped." Susan shared a pun as she laughed. "Also we should get to that challenge already and time to shape up our time and ourselves."
After a few minutes, they found the guy that they wanted and they made themselves an approach. After a little conversation, they swapped items. In just a matter of seconds, they really know what is the name of the ship is and also its location. They nodded at each other and started to rush down the square.
Susan & Mary – currently in Last Place
We are now taking a glance at every teams that is currently on the second and last flight. Some of the teams are started to sleep, putting their feet on the back of the front seat, or whatever they are doing right now. As the plane's ignition turns up and started to move as it left the runway.
"Woo! Panama!" Bloo shouted off-screen.
"All teams are now heading to their next destination... Panama City, Panama!" Phil guided the viewers.
1:07PM
As the first plane arrived at the runway, the first four teams starting to exit the plane and ran for their lives as they started to exit the airport; finding the marked cars is easy but choosing is the hardest. They have arrived at the parking lot as they chose their cars according to their criteria. Closing doors in unison as they started the engines as they left.
"Alrighty, we're first in the band!" Marceline said cheerfully said as she hi-fives her partner who's driving the car as they lead the parade of cars.
"Are we heading to the right direction?" Irma asked.
"I-I don't know, we're just following them." Mr. Bean responded as he was focusing on the road. "Well, I hope we could catch them up."
"This place is crowded..." Joey looked at his left window as they saw some people walking on the sidewalks and the volume of the cars on the road is really heavy. "...I wouldn't mind if we see our aunties and uncles here."
"Funny thing I mentioned about my relatives, they're everywhere, they are really everywhere. I should pay them a visit to give me bucks or something!" Joey said in the confessional as Marky punched him on the shoulder as a revenge. "Ow!"
"Same thing for me. I have relatives here too!" Marky confessed as he points a finger to his bro. "Well in his case, he has some bad intentions on his extended family's banks."
"So we gotta find that freakin' ship and I have obviously no idea where I'm going!" Alvin complained as he saw that there is no cars where the other teams are on board and a red light appeared at the traffic light as they stopped. Alvin then whistled a song while soothing himself and tapping the steering wheel as it synced onto the whistling sound.
"I think I should ask to Phil if I could bring this ship home as a souvenir". Simon checking the parts of the ship statue as he carefully observing its tiny details.
"Well Mr. Ship Boy, this is not a garage sale and I would literally keep it out from Theo." Alvin stressed out of his mind.
"Do you mind? I already know Theo loves this souvenirs but I will make one for him since he's maybe watching right now." Simon fought back as Alvin realizes that he was right.
"Fine..." Alvin conceded at their little argument and the light turns green and moved on.
The teams are now on their own ways as they scattered around the roads of the city.
"Let's ask somebody right there!" Marceline suggested as the vehicle goes for a stop as they reached out a local and opened the window
"Excuse me, sir? You know Panamax?" She asked. The local swiped his hand backwards signaling that they must go straight ahead.
"Straight?" She asked again as the local nodded. "How long?" She asked once more as the local opened his palm widely as he was exposing all of his fingers indicating that they are five minutes onto their destination.
"Five minutes?" Her final attempt of asking as he gave a thumbs up gesture.
"Thanks." She thanked as the windows rises up and started to move.
"Well, I hope that info is correct." Simon hoped.
"Well, since he lives here, he might know every place here." Marceline convinced him.
"Not all of them..." He thought to himself.
The Adventurers found their tip to their destination. While the others are still stranded on the busy roads as they wandering around and asked some locals for a guide, but it never worked.
"This place is so wide, I don't know where I am going." Alvin complained and Simon's shipping time is over as he helped his brother.
"Well I gotta tell you, Marky! This place is huge and there is some twists and turns here! Don't know which way is that ship though." Joey stated.
"Pfft... How long are we finding it?" Mr. Bean as he asked himself and checks his time as he was on the road for 40 minutes as he groaned in annoyance and buries his head to the steering wheel. While Irma was asleep.
Montage of road signs, cars, locals are shown as the three teams struggled to find a way and the screen stared to become a slow motion as the screen fades to black for a commercial break.
The screen starts to show the Panamax Ship steadying on a mini lake as it looked like a statue. The ship was a whole white on the body while the top of it has a combination of orange and white. A medium and black-colored text captioned "PANAMAX" displaying on its side where a team has finally showed up. They parked the vehicle nearby the ship as they exited the car and rushed to the clue box, picked up a clue and read the next instruction.
Marceline & Simon – currently in 1st Place
"Roadblock." Marceline read the header of the clue. "Who's ready to deck on board?"
Phil stands inside of the Panamax Ship as he will now give us an interesting fact and instructions for the Roadblock task.
"Panamax is one of the ships that first crossed on the newly build Panama Canal more than a hundred years ago and to commemorate the success of its historic feat, every year, the whole crew of the ship plays a traditional card game..." He paused as he gazed at the two man who's playing a card game in a table then turns back to focus on the screen. "...called The Panamonkey. One member of each team must beat the Captain on a Panamonkey card game. First, they must choose a tutor and the tutor will explain the rules for them and how to win a Panamonkey game. Once they know the rules and how to play with it, they must proceed to the office of the captain and play with each other. If the captain loses the game, he will hand over their the next clue. If they lose the game, they must try again and go back to their tutors to find strategies, and also a game of Panamonkey takes about 10-15 minutes, so teams might wanna win their first attempts already." Phil finished his cue.
"Well I guess I could handle it!" Simon volunteered. As The Adventurers enter the ship and the vampire sat down on a couch while the old man started to pick a tutor.
"Well you're lucky, my friend! I'm going to pick you." Simon points a finger to a man that has the same height as him with a brown skin and black hair. "What's your name?"
"Gustav." The tutor answered as he shake hands with the old man and he lead the way to the practice table.
"Concentrate, Si!" Marceline cried as Simon gave a thumbs up in the air.
While at the rowdy roads of Panama, teams are still on their vehicles, trying to find a better route for the ship.
"Can't do this anymore! How the hell can we find that old dumb ship?!" Alvin kept whining as it goes louder than ever.
"Well, if you could just calm down and keep an eye for some signs." Simon responded.
"Well I don't seen any si-" Alvin stopped as he saw a sign that says "Panamax 10 km".
"See? Just keep an eye." Simon felt soothed.
"Alright, alright." Alvin calmed himself as he breathed lightly.
Another team showed up at the ship as they dropped from their car as they approached the clue box.
Mr. Bean & Irma – currently in 2nd Place
"Let me do it!" Irma sacrificed.
"Are you sure?" Mr. Bean starting to feel a little worry as he recaptures the moment at the last leg.
"Yeah. I'll promise to make up with you." Irma trying to convince her boyfriend.
"Well..." He paused. "Okay. Just do what you do." He embraced her and she answers back with an embrace also.
After that sweet moment, they hopped on the ship and entered as they saw The Adventurers.
"I think I'm ready to take on your captain, Gustav!" Simon felt determined as he stood up and started to walk towards to the captain's room.
"Let's go, Simon! You can do it!" Marceline cheered and clapped as her partner entered the room.
As Simon entered the room, he immediately rushed towards the captain as he shakes his hands to the leader of the ship.
"Well, are you ready?" The captain spoke as Simon sat down in front of him.
"I'm cool." Simon answered as the captain played the cards joyfully.
While Irma picked out her tutor and Mr. Bean sat down near Marceline as they started a conversation.
"So, Irma is doing the roadblock?" Marceline honestly asked and Mr. Bean nodded. "Why?"
"Well... she said she would make up with me. And it's fine for me." He answered as he playing his fingers.
"Hope she doesn't break herself again." Marceline hoped as Mr. Bean's face looked down.
"I hope she isn't." He calmly said and Marcy nodded as she understands the part of him.
As per outside of the ship, The Roaches has arrived on the scene and dropped off from their vehicle.
"I told you that visiting them is a great idea!" Joey raised his ego as he talked to Marky.
"Well... I was focusing on the bad sides, okay?" Marky gave a legit reason as Joey understands him and reads the clue. "You have to do it." He then gave the clue to his bro.
Joey & Marky – currently in 3rd Place
"Guess I always do Roadblocks, psshh." Joey said in a sarcastic tone.
"Technically, I also did a Roadblock last leg. So beat it!" Marky argued back as Joey shrugged it out and entered the ship.
While at the captain's room, Simon continues to fight the captain but he got the lead.
"I bet that this game could end well. Besides, card games is my physique." Simon confessed at the confessional.
After the captain dropped a King of Hearts, Simon came up with a Four of Hearts. After that turn, Simon's hands were clean as he got no card meaning that he won the game. Swaying his fingers and jumped as he succeeded. Then he shook hands with the captain as a sign of respect and the captain gave the next clue to him and left the room.
"Hey Marcy!" Simon called as he raised up the clue. "Look what I got!"
"Yes!" Marceline jumped in joy as Simon gave her a high five and read the clue. While the other teams were just froze in time as they were surprised by this.
"Teams must now drive themselves back at downtown Panama City to find their next clue at a certain place known as 'Calle De Musicas y Fisicos'. Phil stated.
"Okay, this might be interesting." Marceline started to think as they left the ship and hopped on to their car. As another car stopped by in front of the ship and exited the vehicle as it revealed that it was The Chipmunks who stopped by and they reached the next clue.
"Overtime sucks, you know? We wasted precious time in the car circling around the road." Alvin kept nagging like a girl as Simon rips the clue.
Alvin & Simon – currently in 4th Place
"Who's ready to deck on board?" Simon read the question. "Well Alvin, I think this is your job." As Simon gave to Alvin and reading the instructed task.
"Well... fine by me!" Alvin said in a voice of a confident man. As they entered, they saw The Roaches and Mr. Bean as Alvin started to choose a tutor and Simon sat down with Mr. Bean.
"How long have you been here?" Simon asked.
"Uhmmm... thirty minutes." Mr. Bean honestly answered as he checks his watch.
"Well, this should take a little much longer." Simon said as he leaned on the couch.
While at the captain's room, Irma started playing with the captain as he drops a Ten of Diamonds, while she put down a Jack of Diamonds. Cutting back to the lobby, as Joey and Alvin is still on the explanation portion of the tutorial.
"Wait, that's it?" Alvin asked as his tutor nodded. "Okay, let's play!"
"So, when you put a Four Diamonds, then I can drop any Fours?" Joey asked.
"Yes." His tutor answered as Joey stretched and started to crack his hands.
"Hmmm, this sure seems easy. But who gives? Let's get started." Joey requested as the tutor started to shuffle the cards.
At the Downtown Panama, The Adventurers are now starting to ask the locals of the whereabouts of the next destination.
"Excuse me!" A local woman heard that shout and she turns to saw a girl who is shouting. "Do you know this?" Marceline held the clue as she points her finger to the clue to guide the woman, as she read that certain Spanish words.
"Straight ahead." The woman answered as she swing her hand in an upward direction.
"Oh. Thank you! Gracias!" Marceline thanked the woman as they moved.
"Oh, for my mama's sake..." Simon said as Marceline was dumbfounded as she turns her head and saw something.
"Really? It's right there. Ugh..." Marceline can't explain as she confessed at the confessional. "Why do I even asked someone if it's right there in you big, wide eyes!" She exclaimed. As they found the place that the clue instructed and saw two clue boxes. One was the normal one, one was the same as the normal one but added a little bumper to its back which captioned "Speed Bump" and a picture of The Scientists.
"Two boxes?" Marceline confused by this and take a look of the second blue box. "Oh that's for the twins."
"Come on, let's get one!" Simon requested as they get one and open it.
Marceline & Simon – currently in 1st Place
"Detour." She read the title. "Marching Band or Build and Bend?"
"The people of Panama City celebrated their Festival of Joy during their summer season. Now teams must choose between two particular activities that the people of Panama enjoys to do during hot days." Phil stated a historic lesson about Panama. "Their choice. Marching Band or Build and Bend?"
"At Marching Band, teams must find the Panama City Marching Band Crew and they must use either a Xylophone or Drums to perform at their band. But first, they must practice and master it. Once 5 minutes of practice is up, they must perform it perfectly from the steps until to its beat. Once the bandmaster satisfies at their performance..." The bandmaster showing the clue to the viewers. "This bandmaster will give them their next clue. Once you made a mistake, you must try again and go practice again."
"At Build and Bend, teams will have to find Esquivel Outdoor Gym to fix a Reflexive Chair and two barbells, which has different weights. After fixing it, the trainer will check it and if he approves it, teams will do lift ups on their barbells. Once they made 10 lift ups in the barbells each..." The trainer shows the clue to the viewers. "...the trainer will give them their next clue." Phil ended his cue.
"So what should we do?" Marceline asked.
"Playing instruments could be a pain in the ass since it's still hot in here, let's try fixing things!" Simon responded as he was referring to the Build & Bend Detour task. Marceline nodded as they started to walk.
Back at the captain's room, the game was finished and the result was Irma loses the game as she got two more cards on her hands and the captain got nothing.
"Try again." The captain spoke as Irma stood and opened their door. Irma started to feel like she failed again at her promise at Mr. Bean. As Mr. Bean saw the look on her face, he already knows what she's gonna say as he rushed towards to her and guide her.
"Oh, I failed again!" She said as she leaned on his shoulder to cover her emotions and Mr. Bean tapped his hand on her back. "I don't want to do this anymore." Irma said as she covers her face with her hands.
"Don't worry... I'm not mad at you." He calmly stated as she looked at him. "Go back and take your time." He said as she nodded and go back to her tutor and started all over again.
"Well, I guess she failed at her first, but she will succeeded at the next one. Hoping that the other teams are still stuck somewhere." Mr. Bean said in the confessional as he tries to cheer his girlfriend.
While back at the others, Joey ends the practice game with a victory as he prepares to meet the captain but he didn't know that Alvin was also finished. After that, they turn to see each other, looking at each other, narrowing their eyes as they kept staring as they want competition.
"Come on, Alvin! You can beat him!" Simon cheered.
"Joey, you can do it!" Marky cheered also as they keep saying some words that is inaudible to translate. Until...
"GO!" Both Marky and Simon shouted as their opposites ran faster ahead to the door.
Alvin started to leap and Joey followed and they both hold the doorknob but their opposite ways of opening kept them stuck at their place. After a few seconds, Alvin kicked the right leg of Joey while holding onto the knob while Joey growled as it goes physical. Not wasting his time, he kicked Alvin's gut roughly which Alvin stumbled and fell on his butt. Joey then opened the door as he entered the room successfully, Marky clapped and cheered while Simon gave a disappointing look.
"Agh! Can't believe that rotten critter beat me!" Alvin growled and winced at the confessional and covers his face with his hands as he was hiding from shame.
"Well Alvin, guess you need to step up your game." Simon suggested as Alvin exposed his shameful face as he was confused on what was Simon trying to say.
"Step up? What? How?" Alvin arched an eyebrow.
"Just be yourself and don't do anything stupid. Like showing your true game face, being capable of succeeding of everything and a little grain of patience." Alvin was surprised on the tip that Simon gave.
"What?" Alvin strucked with those fancy words as he was still confused and Simon facepalmed.
Alvin sat down back at his tutor, he played another game. At the other side, Joey shook his hands to the captain as they kick off the game.
"Good luck." The captain spoke while Joey respond back with the same phrase.
5:48PM
After big difference of time interval between the first and second flight, the second one dropped on the runway safely as the other batch of teams ran for their lives. The night sky was approaching also.
"Ha! Gotta get going!" Bloo cried as he ran faster.
"Let's follow them!" Robin ordered as Cyborg as they followed their allies: The Imaginary Friends.
"Oh! Lincoln let me help you." Lori noticed that Lincoln is struggling to run but jogged and held her hands to him as she ran while he jumped while his injured ankle bothered him.
"I see the exit!" Mary noticed the doors were onto them and exited the airport as they ran their way to the parking lot.
"Oh, there it is!" Luke aimed his finger to the marked cars as they kept running.
"Where are we?" Jeanette started to look at the surroundings as they were in the other exit of the airport.
"I don't know. Maybe this isn't the right one?" Brittany asked.
"Hey, did you find the cars?" Eileen asked as they came over to The Chipettes.
"Not yet. But I think we're in the wrong exit." Jeanette concluded.
"Come on, double time guys!" Margaret led the group as they ran to the other exit.
At the parking lot, The Twins, The Siblings, The Titans, The Imaginary Friends and The Wrestlers found their cars as they hopped on and started their engines.
"Come on, Susan! Lead the way!" Mary told Susan as they moved. "Yes! We're leading!"
"Lori! Let's move. Go! Go! Go!" Lincoln cried as they were starting to move and followed The Twins. Then, The Wrestler and The Titans followed suit.
While The Imaginary Friends is still on their parking slot as Mac was in trouble on starting the engine.
"What's taking so long, Mac?" Bloo asked.
"I don't know, this car won't start!" Mac answered as he was trying to start the engine again.
"Man! Move!" Bloo ordered.
"I'm trying."
"Man! You're going to make us last." Bloo whined.
"Stop complaining there, like it's not your problem!" Mac backfired. "Just stay right there and do nothing!" He was still trying to start the engine but failed again as Bloo stayed silence.
Mac continues to try but failed again as he was struggling. This leads us to a slow-mo effect and cutting to a commercial break as it fades to black.
Back to the parking lot where Mac is still struggling pulling off a good start on their vehicle. Because of that, they saw The Chipettes and The Workers arriving at the parking lot.
"Oh shoot, they're here! Come on, Mac!" Bloo pleaded as Mac was trying. While the other remaining teams, successfully started their engine and left the parking lot.
"Ah!" Mac shouted as he forcefully entered the lock and swiped it.
"Goodness gracious! Finally!" Bloo shouted as they finally moved.
"Wow! That lock was hard! Can't wait to be dragged down by years by it." Mac said in the confessional.
Multiple shots of some gym equipment is shown as we saw the first glimpse of the Gym where a team had arrived and entered.
"How long did we walk?" Marceline asked.
"Fifteen minutes." Simon answered.
"Drats, we should use the car. Seriously."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Let's just get started." Simon urged as they get started to fix the chair.
Back at the captain's room, Joey was only one card away and the captain was four. The captain dropped a Nine of Hearts while Joey dropped his final card, the Nine of Diamonds. Meaning that Joey won the game.
"Congratulations." The captain congratulated and gave the clue to the pink roach.
"Thank you." Joey thanked him as he left the room. "Hey Marky! It's clear!"
Joey & Marky – currently in 2nd Place
Joey rushed to Marky as they read the clue in a silent voice then left the building. While Alvin, opened the door that leads to the captain and entered.
"Good day, Sir!" Alvin saluted and lift his cap as a sign of respect while the captain do the same thing and Alvin sat down on the chair.
"Good luck." The captain messaged the boy chipmunk as he shuffled the cards and Alvin simply nodded.
"Well, here goes nothing." Alvin muttered as they stared to play.
While at the lobby, Irma was still playing their practice game with the tutor.
"Irma, you're next to Alvin!" Mr. Bean shouted.
"Yeah, yeah." She answered without a glance as she continues to concentrate.
At the Gym, The Adventurers are still working at the chair as Simon fixing the upper part and Marceline is on the bottom.
"Si, I need screws." Marceline requested to her partner as Simon gave her some pieces of it. "Okay, just be calm." She sighed as she continues to work.
"I got stressed out after that mistake that we took earlier, I hope it will be gone soon." Marceline stated in the confessional.
In the roads of Panama City, the remaining teams are still in trouble navigating as they scattered around.
"I wonder where the hell is that ship?" Lori asking herself as they are looking for some signs. "Man, this city is wide open!"
"I believe that we might be in the right direction." Susan concluded as they saw a sign that says that they are almost near to the ship. While at their back, The Wrestlers also saw the sign.
"Well, that escalated quickly." Luke said as they continue to drive and followed The Twins.
"Guess we're not last anymore!" Karl guessed.
"Yeah, let's take it up a notch!" Luke responded as he glanced and taunt to each other with their signature gesture.
Back at the captain's hook, Alvin dropped his last card to win the game.
"Good game, Sir!" He saluted and lift his cap up.

The Roaches finally approached the next destination as they picked up a clue and open it.
Joey & Marky – currently in 2nd Place
"Well, what?" Marky cannot think about a good choice as he was referring to Joey's choice.
"Well, we can't do the build because we're not that strong..." Joey paused as he rubbed his chin. "...so we'll take it to the band." Joey decided as they rushed towards to the band.
The Roaches started to get their instruments. Joey gets the Xylophone, while Marky holds the Drums, as they approached a member of the band to teach them.

"I remember when my friend told me to play cards, of course it's not Karl or neither of my current friends. He taught me to play cards, different kinds, but this one is different." Luke remembered his teenage days at the confessional. Then, we get a glimpse to Mary.
"I acknowledged this kind of a rule of this Panamonkey thingy, but it reminds me of a certain card game. I remember when we dominated the game then our brother, Johnny takes the loss like twenty-five times!" Mary counted her fingers as she gave an story at the confessional.
"This is gonna be easy..." Mary muttered.
While at the outside of the ship, The Siblings arrived and left their car as they picked up a clue and opened it.
"I'll do it." Lincoln volunteered.

Back at the band, The Roaches reached their first 5-minute practice time limit, they assembled on their positions as the music played.
"Everything was just on sync as this is some kind of a sorcery and I know we've screwed up our first attempt." Joey stated in the confessional as Joey tripped and fell to the ground and Marky helped him with a hand. The whistle sound have heard and the bandmaster approached them.

"Well can't decide. It's now all yours, Alvin." Simon said as he let Alvin choose.
"Since I can't do the building part, I would say let's try the Marching Band!" Alvin finally decided.
"I'll buy that as a valid reason. Come on, let's move!" Simon ordered as Alvin nodded and ran to the band's place.
While at the gym, The Adventurers finished working the barbells and they got a thumbs up as they started to lift their barbells.
"Okay, Ten." Simon calmly said. "Let's get started."
They started to lift their barbells carefully, and it went successful. They got one lift-up each.
"A lil' bit of heavy." She stated as they were preparing for the second lift-up. "Okay, let's roll."

If they succeeded, they can continue racing." Phil explained.
"Okay. Now where's that supermarket." Susan said as they started walking.
"Oh, there it is." Mary pointed a finger to her left as she saw a supermarket and they entered.
While The Couple chose the Marching Band Detour, and they proceeded already to the band's place.
"Well as we saw another team, we feel like we're going to start taking serious observations. Really, this is gonna be a panicking moment." Joey stated in the confessional.
"Okay, let's get started." Alvin prepared his drums while Simon holds a xylophone for the 4th time. Then during their task, the heat was even showing onto their bodies as they started to get hot. "This is nuts, I'm going for the heat! Ride on!" Alvin wipes his sweat as they get started.
"Well, this could be time-consuming." Mr. Bean stared at The Chipmunks who is starting to move.
While at the other Detour, The Adventurers made their 9th successful lift-up and pulls their breaths out as they get prepared to finish this task.
"Ready?" Simon asked as Marceline nodded and they started to pull their breaths to lift them up; struggled at first but soon after the barbells soon soared to the top as they dropped it and gave a little break to cool off.

Marceline & Simon – currently in 1st Place
"Travel by bus to San Jose, Costa Rica and make your way to Poás Volcano and search for your next clue." Simon read it.
"Teams must travel by bus, 600 miles north to the nearby country of Costa Rica. After they arrived at the capital of San Jose, teams will drive themselves to the rim of the Poás Volcano where they will find their next clue." Phil explained the next instructions.
"You kidding? Another country!" Marceline overwhelmed by the instructions as they scrammed out of the gym.
"Well, another country to come pass us by." She said at the confessional. "I'm startin'to lovin' this race." She raised her right hand and gave a Rock N' Roll gesture.
At the Supermarket, The Twins is still searching for that certain can as they still struggles.
"Did you find it?" Mary asked as she was observing an aisle of canned goods.
"Well, no! This is terrible!" Susan cried as she continues to find.
"Come on, we can't just stop here! We're still in the middle of the race." Mary reasoned her sister.
"This is really ridiculous!" She exclaimed.
Soon as they searched for more, they struggled momentarily. They still searching as the slow-mo effect is starting to take effect, the black screen appeared as we go to a break.
Back at the show, The Twins are not quitting and they continued to search and search until...
"Well, Susan. This looks familiar." Susan stopped searching as she glanced at the can.
"Yes, this is the can!" Susan concluded as they ran and bought the can as they left the supermarket.

While at the Marching Band, The Roaches was started to perform their 8th attempt as they get started. On their faces, they showed their wild side, they literally know every step of it as they were ready for the signal.
"That practice was not way too harsh, it was just confusing at first; not that rough, it's just fine to us." Joey stated in the confessional as the whistle blows and started to move and play their instruments.
While the other two teams watched their movements carefully, it was a hard-to-watch scene because the movements were too quick. Their eyes playing as they were still confused, but not for one certain man.
"Funny thing may I ask is that when a band is started playing, I am really focusing on a certain man's foot; focusing only to him, it is really detrifying to stare at him, at maybe some point, I get lost and get screwed overtime." Simon explained his instincts at the confessional.
The Roaches was clean. They rocked on hard as they don't even mention their pain on their bottom, it was quite fun to participate on these kinds of activities. Everything was fine until the music stopped and the bandmaster approached as he was staring at them. After a few seconds, he showed the clue as they were successful on their attempt, jumping in joy as they get that clue and started to open it.

Afterwards, The Couple came up next as they prepared their 5th performance. Mr. Bean was on Drums, while Irma is on the Xylophone. Standing still, preparing for the signal and the whistle blows and started to play.
While at the other Detour, the two teams arrived at the gym and left their cars. Entering the gym, it was a covered but window-less. For The Wrestlers, it was a good time to do some workouts.

While at the counter, The Chipmunks makes some transaction to enter the bus that will leave in a few minutes. Luckily, they had tickets to it and ran to the bus and entered.
Alvin & Simon – 3rd Team on 1st Bus
"Whew! Rest in peace." Alvin gave a double meaning to it as he rested his head and slept already. While Simon shrugged. Then the bus suddenly started the engine as it move and left the station, leaving all the teams sleeping.
Back at the Marching Band, The Couple finished their performance as the bandmaster gave them their next clue and open it.
Mr. Bean & Irma – currently in 4th Place
"Okay, out we go!" Mr. Bean stated as they already left and waves a goodbye without turning back.

Lincoln & Lori – currently in 7th Place
"Lori!" He cried as she approached to him with a grin on her face and embraced her.
"I have no regrets on being a partner with you, Linc! I'm so proud of you." Lori whispered on his ears. As Lincoln smiled from that praise and he rip the clue.
"Come on, no time for that! Chop chop!" He ordered as they left the ship slowly.
Next in line was Cyborg, he entered the room with a bow.
"Good... uhm, Evening, Sir!" He said as he saw the sky was colored blue as it was a sign that it was evening.
"Good evening, too! Good luck and have fun." The captain calmly said as he stared to shuffle the cards.
Back at the gym, the teams are still on the chair part as they still figuring out the damage of their chairs.
"Wow, didn't expect the full damage of this chair. They're everywhere!" Susan declared as they started to fix the upper part of the chair.
"Well that's what engineers do. Being patient and be responsible." Karl gave a tip to the sisters as they finished the upper part and moving on to the bottom part of the chair.
"Hey, it's unfair! Why didn't we catch up with you?" Mary complained as they are stuck on the upper part.
"'Coz we're too good at these things." Luke said.
"Gah!" Mary exclaimed.
While at the Bus Station, The Couple booked their seats as they were at the second bus trip, which leaves in 25 minutes and sat down to the bench and waited.
Mr. Bean & Irma – 1st on 2nd Bus
"I can't think of a certain time that we got tired so much at this level! It's like perseverance, trying to preserve my embodied soul. Well, we hope that we can last at this race." Mr. Bean confessed at the confessional.
The Siblings arrived at the calle where they picked up their next clue and opened it.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 7th Place
"Marching Band or Build and Bend?" Lincoln read the question.
"Well, what do you think, Lincoln?" Lori felt that Lincoln would be a good choice maker at this point due to the sprained ankle that he still felt at this moment.
"Hmm." He rubbed his chin and finally decided as he raised a finger. "Well, can't do the lift-up part because... you know what I am, sis."
Lori cooed as she knows what he is trying to say. "Lincoln. Don't spit it out. Let's just do the Marching Band. Okay?" Lori suggested as Lincoln nodded and started to move.
Back at the ship's lobby, the remaining teams still waiting for their turn as they set an another practice game.
"Ugh! Can't this game any be longer?" Bloo looses his temper as he shouted.
"Bloo! Stop that!" Mac begged.
"Yeah, we can't wait at this longer. It's night time already!" Jeanette looked at the window as the sky was full in darkness.
"Yeah, can't complain." Mac said in a sarcastic tone.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Eileen jumped at their conversation.
"Yeah." Both Jeanette and Mac agreed as they both sighed in unison.
While at the Build and Bend task, The Wrestlers are done with the chair as they proceed to the bald-looking barbells. While The Sisters are starting to focus on the bottom part of their chair.
"Alright, this may take a few minutes." Luke predicted as they assemble the plates carefully.
"Careful, bro!" Karl reminding his partner.
"Yeah, I know." Luke answered.
Back at the ship, Cyborg finally left the room and score a win as he approaches Robin. Brittany prepares herself as he was next and started to advanced at the door and entered.
"Go, Brittany!" Jeanette cheered loudly.
"That was a long one, man. What happened?" Robin asked.
"Well our game is neck and neck, can't believe that I won, it was a suspense!" Cyborg gave a story as they opened the clue and started to read.
Robin & Cyborg – currently in 8th Place
"Come on, let's get outta here!" Robin ordered as they exited the ship.
Back at the Marching Band, The Siblings are now practicing for their 4th performance, there was a little mistake, it was from Lincoln. He has dealing with a sprain but it improves more and more, he didn't give up on it, he stepped up and battle his pain.
"Lincoln, I'm really impressed. In no time, we will rockin' out of here!" Lori complimented his actions as he grinned.
"Of course, Lori. Don't give up and we just keep fighting and fighting." Lincoln sending a powerful message as she grinned also as they keep practicing.
"Again. Lincoln is one tough son of a gun. He's tough, he's cool and lastly he's my guy." Lori describes her little bro in the confessional.
"Thanks."
"No prob, twe- I mean... Linc." She almost said the T word as she hugged him and receives back.
While at the gym, The Wrestlers are currently doing lift-ups as they were on the 1st mark.
"Okay, here goes the two." Karl lifted again the barbell as Luke followed to get their second successful lift.
Back at the Marching Band, The Siblings started their performance as it was a clean start, no mistakes yet. Now it turns into two screens, as The Wrestlers and The Siblings continue their efforts to finish their respective tasks.
The Wrestlers with their third lift, The Siblings' performance is spotless. Everything was okay. Then the screen turns back into a big one, as we get a glimpse of The Twins who are finished on their barbells and preparing for the heavy duty task.
"This is going to be intense; weight is powerful, dropping hard at this might be a nightmare." Mary worried but she removed that worry onto her face as they both lifting the barbells carefully and made a successful lifts.
"Ugh, I'm really getting sweaty." Mary felt the massive takedown on her heavy barbell as she stared to sweat.
"Every lift-up counts, we can't even rushed this part. It might cause us a lot." Mary said in the confessional. While The Wrestler made their 9th successful lifts as they prepare for the last one, they played their hands and starting to focus.
"One more." Karl whispered to his partner as he nodded.
The screen started to become two again, as The Siblings is now finished with their performance, it was really near-perfect but an awesome effort and besides his injury, Lincoln smiled as the bandmaster approached them. While The Wrestlers, lift up for the last time and they dropped it on the ground. Both the trainer and the bandmaster gave the clues to them as they cheered, jumped and high-fiving each other as they opened the clue and the screen goes back into normal.
"Travel by bus to San Jose, Costa Rica and..." The Wrestlers reads first.
Luke & Karl – currently in 5th Place
"...make your way to Poás Volcano and search for your next clue." The Siblings finished.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 6th Place
"Wow, volcano? That's cool!" Lincoln felt more happier.
"Yeah, literally." Lori agreed as they hopped on to their vehicle and left.
Back at the Bus Station, The Couple received a not-so-good news.
"Well, the bus that we are going in was probably delayed and they said we must wait for it to be fixed." Mr. Bean explained to the viewers.
"Ugh! This is getting annoying!" Irma getting angry.
"This is going nowhere..." Mr. Bean felt impatient.
The Couple with their anger and the pressure showing on their faces were shown as the screen slows down and fades to black, meaning it's time for a commercial break!
Back at the show, we saw the faces of The Couples as they still showed their faces wrapped up with a little anger.
"Guess, we'll have to wait..." Mr. Bean felt that this is a solution for this temporary kind of blowing proportion.
While at the calle, The Titans arrived at the clue box as they picked one and opened it.
Robin & Cyborg – currently in 8th Place
"It's an obvious one, Cyborg." Robin said in a nonchalantly tone.
"Of course." Cyborg nervously answered. "Build and Bend." Cyborg guessed it right as they ran towards to the gym.
Speaking of gym, The Twins is still on the gym and now they are on their last lift-ups, they felt sweaty and tired. The determination striking on their eyes were seen as they were heavily breathing.
"You know the feeling that we are on the last one, we started to fill ourselves up and suddenly burst out." Susan said in the confessional.
"Like an orange juice." Mary added.
"And also..."
"Gil!" Both twins shouted and squealed at the same time as they said that name, it gave them confidence boost.
"Alright, Sus. You ready?" Mary asked as she glanced at her sister.
"Of course, Sis. I'm ready!" Susan replied.
"For Gil!"
"For Gil!"
They started to lift their barbells and raised it up on air as the trainer clapped at them. That teamwork paid them so well. The trainer gave the clue to them as they were heavily sweating.
Susan & Mary – currently in 7th Place
"Muchas Gracias!" Susan thanked the trainer as they were panting and opened their bags as they were drinking their water bottles.
"Feels good." Mary broke out of silence as she rip the clue to read it. "Come on, let's go, we're going Costa Rica!" Without further interruptions, Susan started to packing her things as they left in the gym.
Back at the ship, Brittany's game with the captain was almost finished; the girl got 2 more card, while the captain was 3 cards.
"Okay. This is really getting scary, I have two while he got three. It's not a logical game anymore, it was mind games." Brittany said at the confessional. While she dropped a King of Spades, the captain dropped a Eight of Spades.
"Brit, this is the final one!" Brittany shouted as she dropped her final card, The Eight of Diamonds. The captain was surprised at the release of her words and he clapped for it.
"Good game." The captain spoke as he offered a handshake and Brittany gladly accepted it and he gave the clue to the chipette.

"Margaret, you can do it!" Eileen cried as she closes the door.
While at the Bus Station, the dispatcher announced that the bus was now operational again. The Couple are feeling bummed as they were entered inside the bus. Suddenly, The Wrestlers and The Siblings entered also as they made in time and sat down.
Luke & Karl – 2nd on 2nd Bus
Lincoln & Lori – 3rd on 2nd Bus
"Uh, is your ankle cool, kid?" Luke asked as they were on the other side of the seat.
"Yeah, definitely." Lincoln answered.
"That marching band one, sure takes away the pain." Karl guessed.
"Yeah, it might be." Lori said in a nonchalantly voice.
"It's kind of a unusual that this young boy's big sister, is a little bit of a weirdo. If you ask me, yeah. She is natural and boring." Karl took a first impression on Lori at the confessional.
"Hmm, that was kind of a uncertainty." Luke added.
"I wonder where are those twins, by the way?" Karl whispered to Luke.
Suddenly, The Twins made their way on time as they saw some teams. Approaching them, they hi-fived all of them.
Susan & Mary – Last on 2nd Bus
"Wow, now that's a usual." Luke said as they laughed. Soon, the engine starting to revved up and move as they left the station.
"This is gonna be a long track." Karl said off-screen.
At the gym, The Titans arrived as they pick their chairs and pipes; then collected the plates. As they were getting started.
"First, we got to fix these barbells!" Robin lead the way as they starting focusing on work.
"I gotta act like a leader, just like I do from our fighting crime schticks, it really helps them..." Pointing at Cyborg."...also myself, of course." Robin points to himself.
"Hold on there, beast." Robin guided Cyborg as they are finished with the barbells.
While at the ship, Margaret was in a hot streak, dropping every card that she had on her hands. It was a good feeling moment for her. She dropped another card on the table, as she put an Ace of Diamonds after that Ace of Spades; they are only two cards remaining on hers, while the captain has five.
"Honestly, this Panamonkey game is like a rip-off!" Margaret said in the confessional as she continued. "It's really an easy game, like, I am so familiar by the rules of it. I just don't recall the name of that game."
"Aha!" Margaret shouted and dropped a Ten of Diamonds after the captain dropped a Jack of Spades. Then the captain dropped didn't have a counter for it as she was gonna drop a final blow to the game: The Queen of Diamonds. "Game over, captain." She said in a sinister voice.
"Good job." The captain replied and smiled as he offered a handshake, Margaret accepted it as he showed the clue and gave it to the red robin girl.
Eileen & Margaret – currently in 10th Place
"Thank you so much!" Margaret thanked the captain as she left the room. "Eileen! Got 'em!" She said as she taunts like her bestfriend, Mordecai.

"Okay, let's get outta here." Margaret commanded as they left the ship. Bloo was now the last one, entering the door and greeted the captain then sat down, as it was a rush hour for the creature.
The Chipettes soon arrived at the calle and picked up their next clue and read it.
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in 9th Place

10:50AM – Next Day
After a 14-hour long trip, the first bus have arrived at its designated bus stop as they soon exited the big bus and they started to run.
"Oh my God, these city souvenirs and lights..." Marceline impressed at the lanterns of every single store on the downtown; colorful and amazing as it was described by the people of the town.
"It's like now and it's crazy looking." Alvin described the lanterns also.
"Plus it's simple and plain, can't argue that this was the town's best idea." The younger Simon impressed by the lights.
"Kinda cool, isn't it?" Marky asked Joey about the lanterns.
"Yeah, but we gotta get our vehicles as soon as possible." Joey only focusing on the running part.
Then The Roaches saw a steel-secured roofless parking lot, they think it was a private-owned one. They saw the cars that is parked on every slot of it as they saw the route markers.
"Well, that was quick." Joey was surprised by the time interval, it was like five minutes before they found the vehicles. They picked a car and started the engine.
"We got to get out before someone sees us!" Marky ordered as their vehicle moved to get out of the parking lot. But unfortunately, the other teams saw it.
"Are those the small critters?" Alvin questioned.
"Yeah, I think." Simon replied.
"Well those cars are familiar." Alvin pointed a finger as he saw the cars with route markers on their front windows.
"Good job, Alvin."
"Yeah, moving on." Alvin replied as they entered the parking lot and chose a car.
"There they are!" Marceline saw The Chipmunks entering a car.
"Come on, there's no time to lose!" The older Simon ordered as they started to choose a car and started the engine. Without a second to waste, they exited the parking lot and followed the other teams.
In the middle of driving alone at the road, The Roaches are now on the lead as they don't know if they are on the right direction.
Joey & Marky – currently in 1st Place
"Going to the volcano..." Joey reading the clue again as Marky was driving.
"Guessing that we're going on a long trip again." Marky frowned as he saw a sign that says "Poás Volcano, 30 km" with a volcano logo on the bottom.
"Well, at least we're on the right direction." Joey responded.
"30 kilometers? That's a long one." Alvin stated the obvious as he saw the same sign that The Roaches saw earlier.
Alvin & Simon – currently in 2nd Place
"At least it's clean; no cars, just take your speed up." The younger Simon gave his brother a tip.
"Can't wait for the volcano!" Marceline cheered.
"Rest for a bit, this will take time." The older Simon gave a tip as they saw the same sign.
Marceline & Simon – currently in 3rd Place
Back at the gym, The Titans just fixed the chair quickly, the trainer was surprised about this and he gave a thumbs up after checking it.
"Well, that's about it." Cyborg said.
"Okay, time to lift our spirits!" Robin said in a determined voice as they get started.
The Titans made a first successful lift-ups, until they quickly got a second one perfectly. The Titans quickly lifting up their barbells and made a third one. Surely, this team might get finished already. While at The Marching Band, The Chipettes are now starting their 2nd performance, their first one was perfect until they are out of sync on the last minute of the showing; confidence are showing onto their faces, they are now ready as the bandmaster whistled signaling to start the performance.
"Sometimes, this kinds of challenges might be easy, but sometimes they have flaws. But I'll admit being part of a big parade of these guys is definitely gorgeous to me." Brittany happily admitted at the confessional.
Suddenly, The Workers have arrived at the scene as they get started to practice. While at the other side, The Chipettes are finally on the final minutes of their performance, they are starting to observe their movements carefully as they followed. The Workers taking look at their performance, they surprised a little on their performance, it was kind of a clean performance. The performance was finally finished, the bandmaster approaches them and he gave the clue to the little girls, they jumped in happiness and the members are clapping.

"Well, me too." Brittany added.
"This is going to be crazy!" Jeanette cried as they started to ran and they gave a goodbye wave to the band.
"Gotta admit, that was fun." Brittany confessed to Jeanette.

"Awesome." Robin simply said.
"Come on, let's go!" Cyborg ordered as they hopped on to their vehicle and as they saw a car that looks familiar to them; stopping on their tracks.
"Wait! There's another team, let's follow them!" Robin now commanding as they closed the doors and starting to left the place.
While at the captain's room, Bloo was finished and he sighed as he was done, the captain gave him the clue.
"Thank you, Sir!" Bloo thanked the captain as he waves a goodbye to him and left the room.
"Bloo!" Mac shouted his name as Bloo approaches him.

"Yeah, sure. Rip the clue!" As Mac commanded, Bloo followed him.

Brittany & Jeanette – 1st Team on Final Bus
Robin & Cyborg – 2nd Team on Final Bus
"I can't believe it! The other teams will be here soon!" Brittany complained as she sat down at the bench, Jeanette followed suit.
"Well, can't blame you. Although, a simple rest may be calmed you." Jeanette suggested to her.
"Yeah, sure. But do you remember a movie called 'Around the World in 80 Days'?" Brittany changed the topic.
"Yeah." Jeanette remembered.
"Well, I think this leg it applies here. Maybe they can call this leg 'Around a Leg in Three Countries'!" Brittany quipped and suggested a good title for this episode. Although, the writers agreed to it, even the creators accepted it.
"Good one, Brit." Jeanette giggled as she thought of it that it was a good episode name.
Back at the Marching Band, The Workers started to work for their 3rd performance as they were assembled into their position and waits for the bandmaster to get them a signal. After a few seconds, the whistle blew as the music starts. Suddenly, The Imaginary Friends arrived at the clue box as they picked up the last clue and opened it.
Bloo & Mac – currently in Last Place
"Well, the heck with it! We're going marchin'." Bloo cried as Mac agreed and started to run onto the band.
Finally, we get the first glimpse of the hot-steaming, beautiful circle shapes of the volcano filled with hot water on it, it was beautiful. As The Roaches arrived at the location but they were disappointed that the gateway to the next clue is closed.
"It's closed." Marky started.
"Dang! All of us will wait!" Joey glared at the gate.
"We lose our ticket to the first one, bro!" Marky worriedly stated.
"I know, I know. It sucks." Joey covered his face as he was starting to wandering around the gate.
"Game over." Marky explained this moment.
As there faces were like that, the screen starts to become slower as it goes black, meaning it's time for a commercial break!
Going back again to The Roaches as they still struck by their disappointments.
"Just great, just great." Joey muttered as he continues to wander around the gate.
"Don't worry, Joey. It's just the second leg!" Marky convincing his brother to step up.
"At the crucial times, me and Marky and Dee-Dee used to fight over something. If one is getting acting radical, well the others starting to make up things to the emotional one. That's the nature of a good brotherhood." Joey said in the confessional.
"Yeah. Sorry for crapping out." Joey apologized as he embraced Marky.
"Yeah, yeah, let go." Marky felt embarrassed about this and Joey released.
While their bond are stronger than ever again, The Roaches saw The Adventurers arriving.
"Well, the gate is closed." Marceline said as he was glancing at her partner.
"So we're waiting?"
"Yup. Just like the original." Marceline answered and referred to the original Amazing Race's common problem: being arrived at the destination and sighted a closed sign.
"Guess, we'll sleep at the outside." Simon said as Marceline somehow agrees at the idea.
After that thoughts, they covered their faces as they saw an upcoming vehicle, it was The Chipmunks who has just arrived.
"It's closed." Alvin said.
"Yeah, yeah, I can read it from here." Simon annoyed by that obvious statement.
"So what are we going to do now?" Alvin asked.
"Maybe we should-" Simon stopped on his tracks as they heard a loud shrieking voice that made them covered their ears.
"Whoa! What the..." Marceline was surprised and also the others as they saw the gate was opened. But the weird part is that, there is no guards or people behind or standing them in front.
"Wow, that's kinda creepy." Alvin reacted.
After that weird part, they wasted no time as the teams started to run to the gate and continuing running as they get on the clue box. They picked up one each and before the opened the clue, they saw some stickers sticking below the clue box and they picked one. The Roaches got 1, The Adventures got 2 and The Chipmunks picked up 3 and started to open the clue. They guessed that their numbers that they got was their current placement on the leg.
"God! Not another Roadblock!" The younger Simon complained.
"Who's ready.." Marky read first.
"...for the heat and the feat?" Marceline finished.
"At this roadblock, the other member of the team who did not perform the Roadblock earlier, will be performing this task. First they must pick a sticker to underneath the clue box to determine your queue number in line for the challenge. And their challenge is to cross a hot lake via tightrope walking while holding a balance stick which is 60 meters long. When they succeeded, they must swim 60 meters to the other side of the 40C° temperature hot spring. Once finish, the staff will hand over their next clue." Phil explained the details of the next challenge.
"It's all yours." Joey said as Marky rushes to the crater-shaped hot spring. Luckily, they picked 1 at the queue. As the safety staff helped him wear his safety gear and a life jacket.
Joey & Marky – currently in 1st Place
"Come on, Marky! Focus!" He shouted as Marky was getting started, he started to walk safely and carefully.
After a 4th performance, it was a success for The Workers as the bandmaster gave the next clue to the girls and opened it.
Eileen & Margaret – currently in 10th Place
"Well, come on! The bus is waiting for us!" Eileen convinced Margaret as they were leaving the place. The only team left at the Detour was The Imaginary Friends, they were ready for their 3rd performance.
"Well at this point of this race, I was aroused at the different kinds of culture from country to country, it was a great opportunity to try these kinds of tasks, it really is amazing." Bloo confessed at the confessional as they were already starting to move and playing their instruments. They were flat out good, they literally followed it. After that performance, the bandmaster gave the next clue to the boys as they were clapping and cheering.
"I guess that did leave a mark." Bloo chuckled as they opened the next clue.
Bloo & Mac – currently in Last Place
"Costa Rica?! Awesome!" Mac marked out as he was surprised at the details of the clue.
"Okay. To the bus!" Bloo shouted as they starting to leave and glanced at the band to say goodbye to them.
At the Roadblock challenge, Marky successfully finished the tightrope walking as he was prepare to swim on the hot spring.
"Okay, I'm ready." Marky talked to himself as he dropped himself at the spring. "God it's hot!" He was surprised at the temperature of the water, it was hot but it feels good to him.
"Gotta admit that hot water was awesome! The temperature helps me soothe myself already, it already gave me energy to swim faster!" Marky cheerfully said as he was starting to swim at a fast and convenient speed.
"Come on!" Joey acted like a trainer as Marky was now on the middle part of the spring. While he does that, Marceline started her tightrope walking and holding the stick.
"Marcy! Stay focus!" Simon shouted as he cheers for his partner.
Marceline & Simon – currently in 2nd Place
"I'm trying, I'm trying." Marceline carefully spoke as she was now passed a quarter portion of the rope.
"Marky!" Joey shouted as Marky was almost seeing the ground. "Go!" He added a little more volume on to his voice.
"Ugh!" Marky heavily breathed as he was successful on the challenge and the staff helped him stand up. Joey rushed to him to congratulate him.
"Good job, man! You're cool." Joey complimented.
"Nah, I'm hot! I'm on fire! Ha!" Marky quipped as he still feels the hotness on his body as he removed the gear and the life jacket. The staff gave the next clue to the critters.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Joey bowed down twice as he opened the clue. "Make your way to the next pit stop..."
Joey & Marky – currently in 1st Place
"Teams must now make their way here at the Manuel Antonio National Park- a perfect place to swim in a hot humid temperature, relax and take pictures of every piece of the artifacts of the lost city of Globos. The last team to check in here..." Phil was standing in a covered waiting area as the screen zoomed out as we can see the beautiful scenery of the place. "...may be eliminated."
"Alright! Let's get out of here!" Joey commanded as Marky followed him to get out of the park.
"Alright! Marcy take your time!" Simon continues to shout in the sky as Marceline started to dropped herself on to the water.
"Wow! That water was so refreshing! And also free bath!" Marceline said in the confessional.
"Lucky you." Simon was totally jealous that he didn't take that Roadblock. As Marceline is now on the middle of the hot water, Simon started to take the tightrope walking.
"Simon, come on! We must get outta here quick!" Alvin trying to motivate his brother as he walks slowly.
Alvin & Simon – currently in 3rd Place
"Man, I don't like these challenges." Simon talks to himself as he was only focusing to the other side.
Marceline speed herself as she successfully holds the wall of the finish lime and got up with some assistance and stood up. Marceline wiped her body as she rushes to Simon and opens the clue.
Marceline & Simon – currently in 2nd Place
"Come on, we can follow them." Simon ordered as Marceline followed and exited place
While at the bus, the last bus to depart left the bus station and the remaining teams have finally assembled.
"Okay, this might take a while." Margaret said first.
"Hope, it's not us who will get eliminated!" Eileen wished as Margaret patted her head.
"Don't worry, we can overrun them." Margaret guided her best friend as Eileen nodded.
"Take this for a second on your mind, who will be eliminated first?" Mac asked as Bloo was in no good term to answer that.
"Well I don't know how to answer that. But I hope, it's not us!" Bloo replied as he raised his both hands.
"I really hope too." Mac muttered.
"Okay Brit, don't let your anger get on you!" Jeanette guided her sister as Brittany was starting to nag.
"Oh come on! There's no way we could end at the last trip again!" Brittany growled as she was trying to let out her rants. "Jeanette, please get off of me! You can't stop me from anything! You can't do anything for me, you're useless!" She ranted more as Jeanette was shocked at the last phrase that she used against her.
"Brit! Stop! It's just unintentional. Please calm down!" Jeanette begged as Brittany stopped her anger issues as she glanced at her sister. She saw her eyes starting to get wet.
"Brit... You... You..." She tried to talk but she started to sob lightly as she covers her face.
"Whoa, what just happened there?" Robin whispered to Cyborg as they saw a little tension between The Chipettes.
"I don't know." Cyborg replied.
"Well, we could use a little help, maybe?" Robin asked his partner.
"Maybe, we should let them make themselves out." Cyborg recommended.
"Brit... You were making a clever remark about our leg earlier then you came now to erupt your emotions onto me. What are you trying to make out on me? Like I'm the worst sister ever to you?" Jeanette tried to hold her tears but it was no use; Brittany suddenly felt the regret on her.
"J-J-Jeanette..." Brittany tried to hold her hand onto one of her shoulders as she flinched it.
"Brit, if you think of that. Yeah, maybe I could be the worst sister ever to you!" Jeanette looked at her window as she avoided to face her sister.
"Jeanette..."
"Please just give me some lonely time, please? I'm trying to figure what was the mistake that I made into you." She interrupted Brittany's attempt on making out with her. Brittany felt even more guilty and Brittany lets go of her as she finds an another vacant seat to sat. She can hear her little sound of moaning and sobbing; it was a sign of devastation. As she faced down on the floor, thinking about that remark that her sister gave earlier.
After some minutes of concentration, Simon finished the Roadblock but he felt a little shiver on his body as they opened the clue.
Alvin & Simon – currently in 3rd Place
"What's the matter, Simon? You look weird." Alvin stared at his brother.
"I-I-I don't know but my Jeanette's emotional breakdown senses are tingling. I think she might be in trouble or she might have a bad day right now." Simon still shivering as he was telling that there was something wrong onto her.
"Well come on, Si. Let's talk about that Jeanette sense later." Alvin want to know why he said that but first, he was concentrating on making their way to the pit stop as they left the park.
While at the highway of nowhere, The Cockroaches and The Adventures are neck and neck on getting their first 1st. Then all of a sudden they saw a sign that tells that they are almost at the Pit Stop.
"Come on, Marky! Prepare to get down!" Joey ordered as Marky prepares for the big relay.
"Marcy! Be ready." Simon simply commanded his partner as she is now preparing to run like a loose dog does.
Both vehicles stopped at the car parking, as both teams started to run.
"Marcy! Run!" Simon shouted.
"Marky! Run!" Joey shouted.
They were some a little dizzy roads entering the park as they saw some arrows that guided them to make themselves faster on arriving at the Pit Stop. Every step they take, counts. As they finally saw a glimpse of a covered area where they saw Phil standing.
"That's Phil!" Marky saw the host standing.
"Look it's Phil!" Marceline pointed at the direction of Phil.
We saw some feet coming towards to the Phil as he notices a team that is coming towards to him. Phil was not alone, he was accompanying a local man and Phil guided the man that someone is coming. And then without a second, that team stomped the mat with their smile on their faces.
"Bienvenido a San Jose... Welcome to Costa Rica!" The local greeted them.
"Thank you!" Both team members greeted back.
"Joey and Marky..." Phil raised his eyebrow as he was trying to toy them. "You're team number..." He paused again trying to get a little suspense onto them. "...ONE!"
Joey & Marky – 1st Place; arrived at 12:48pm
"Ahhh!" Joey shouted as they were jumping in happiness and holding their arms.
"And as the official winners of this leg of The Amazing Race... you won a trip for two from Travelocity and you're going to..." Phil paused. "...Santorini in Greece! And spend three nights at the Greek Nature Hotel where you can enjoy their Greek-inspired pictures and statues, also enjoy their international-bound food catering services and a swimming pool that you can both also try. And a trip going to the village of Imerovigli where you can take pictures and visit their gorgeous houses and you can watch the perfect sunset to end your tour at the place.
"Thanks, will take that!" Marky happily accepted the prize.
"How does it feel right now?" Phil asked.
"Happy." Joey answered.
"Well, I guess we'll see each other again soon, goodnight."
"Good night too." Both of them responded in unison.
After a few minutes, The Adventurers arrived at the mat.
"Marceline and Simon..." Phil paused. "You're team number two."
Marceline & Simon – 2nd Place; arrived at 12:54pm
"Again? Really?" Marceline cannot believe what she had heard.
"Yup, almost." Phil used his fingers to measure the time distance of their arrival to The Roaches.
"Guess, there's next leg." Simon did not bothered.
"Second placer at the second leg for second straight leg! What a coincidence, isn't it?" Marceline asking Simon on their confessional.
"Well, that was no magic at all." Simon answered. "Guess the third leg will be ours next!" Simon nervously chuckled.
Then The Chipmunks also arriving at the mat.
"Alvin and Simon..." Phil paused. "You're team number three!"
Alvin & Simon – 3rd Place; departed at 1:06pm
"Well can't catch up with them." Alvin chuckled nervously and scratched his hair.
"Well Simon, what's all the ruckus about Jeanette?" Phil curiously asked.
"Jeanette." Simon started with a sigh. "I got a bad feeling that something was wrong about her, it's just that... I felt it."
1:07PM
The second bus arrived at its designated bus stop as teams starting to roaming around Downtown.
"Ok. Find the marked cars." Susan remembering the instructions at the clue.
"Never did I saw this lanterns!" Mary stared at the lantern lights as its glowing beautiful onto the scientist's eyes.
"Well, I'm impressed too. So let's get that car!" Susan ordered.
"I will be darned if we don't find that parking lot, literally." Lori bummed out as they were searching.
"Well, the clue didn't say the name of that place. So, leave with that and keep searching." Lincoln's nonchalantly voice was showing.
"Sure." Lori simply answered as she was aware of her brother's tone.
"Thank you so much, Sir! Muchas gracias!" Luke thanked the guy as they were starting to run.
"Well that worked well." Karl said.
"See, strategies dude, strategies." Luke said the key word.
"In case of an emergency, use strategies." Luke poked his head at the confessional. "You'll never know, if you didn't know, ask someone to know."
"Nice rhymes right there. You should be a poet." Karl remarked as he was laughing and Luke frowned.
"Don't know where that parking lot is, sure is crazy." Irma said as they were continuing searching for the parking lot.
"But crazy as it looks as the lanterns, you know?" Mr. Bean comparing the remark on to the lanterns as they were staring at those lights.
"Crazy, indeed." Irma answered.
"Beautiful." Mr. Bean simply muttered and described the lanterns as they continued to find that certain lot.
We get a glimpse of the parking lot, eight cars remained.
"There it is!" Lincoln shouted off-screen as they rushed towards the place.
"Oh I saw another team, looks like they found it." Karl said as they started to run.
Soon after that, The Siblings hopped on to the vehicle and Lori starts the engine.
"Alright, Lincoln. Get ready for this." Lori smirked as Lincoln was unaware of his sister's voice.
"Lori, please help me stretch out my ankle first." Lincoln ordered.
"Oh, yeah! Your ankle." Lori nervously chuckled as she firmly grasped his ankle and she put it on the cup holder.
"Thanks." Lincoln simply replied.
While the conversation flows, The Wrestlers hopped on also at their vehicle.
"Lori! Please drive!" Lincoln gasped and ordered.
"No worries, Linc. Hold yourself." Lori smiled at his brother as they moved out from the lot.
"Okay, follow them." Karl ordered as Luke nodded and also moved out from the parking lot.
The Couple asked a local as little didn't they know that the guy was also the one who asked by The Wrestlers earlier.
"Thank you!" Mr. Bean thanked the local as they started running.
While The Sisters are now on the street of the parking lot and started to observe every structure on it.
"Hmmm, we didn't cross this street, right?" Susan rubbed her chin.
"Yup, looks unfamiliar to me." Mary answered.
"I think this might be the street." Susan theorized her statement.
"Well, this might take a while..." Mary said.
"Wait..."
"What?" Mary was confused due to Susan's frozen movement.
"Look!" Susan pointed a finger as she saw The Couple walking into a certain place.
"Well, that concludes your theory." Mary stated as they followed the other team.
The Couple picked their car as they hopped on and Mr. Bean started the engine.
"Okay, let's get started." Mr. Bean smirked.
They left the parking lot while The Twins arrived just now as they picked a vehicle and hopped on. After that, The Louds arrived at the volcano park as they parked their vehicle.
"Okay, Lori. Take it easy." Lincoln ordered as Lori holds Lincoln's ankle as it lands on the bottom. "Thanks."
"Okay, now come on." Lori takes charge as they left their vehicle.
The Wrestlers arriving at the scene also and The Siblings picked up the number "4" sticker and the clue as they opened it. While The Wrestler pick the "5".
"Roadblock?" Lori was surprised. "Okay, my turn... again." Lori frowned as she prepares and ran to the hot spring.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 4th Place
"Karl, you're the man at this!" Luke trusted his buddy as Karl nodded.
Luke & Karl – currently in 5th Place
"Lori, just don't look down. Concentrate." Lincoln shouted and coaches his big sister.
"I'll try." Lori responded as she wears the safety gear and a life jacket and started crossing the tightrope.
"I hate the part when I crossed at the ropes, it seems to be my weak point at this point." Lori said in the confessional.
"Or you're just afraid of tightrope walking!" Lincoln elaborated the viewers.
"Lincoln!" Lori glared at her brother. "I'm really going to turn you into a human pretzel, literally. But since you're lucky and your injured, I'll let it pass." Lori crossed her arms.
The Wrestlers also arriving at the scene as Karl takes the Second Roadblock challenge of the leg.
"This is interesting." Luke rubbed his chin.
While Lori crossed to the other side, she started to swim down at the spring. Lori gasped at the temperature of the spring, it was a good feeling to her. Without a doubt, she started to swim.
"Lori! Lori! Lori!" Lincoln acted like a cheerleader as his sister was doing great.
Karl started to walk on to the tightrope and concentrating at the balance.
"This is easy." Karl stated.
With the speed that she withhold, Lori finished the Roadblock challenge soaked with water as she removed the gear and the jacket.
"Gotta admit, that was actually fun!" Lori confessed.
"Yeah, fine." Lincoln didn't cared as the staff gave the clue to Lori opened it.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 4th Place
"Make your way to the next Pit Stop..." Lori quickly scanning the instruction. "Alright, Lincoln. Let's go." Lori smiled on to her little brother.
"Alright!" Lincoln cheered as they exited the park.
While The Siblings left the park, Karl was starting to sank himself at the hot waters.
"Come on, K! Just shove it out already!" Luke begged to his partner as Karl was trying to up his speed.
"I should really to reconsider my swimming skills, 'coz I rarely swim at the sea, you know? Kinda used my swimming pool always, but, hot spring takes the toll for me, it's fricking hot!" Luke confessed in the confessional.
"So fricking' hot!" Karl shouted as he was starting to get up at the spring.
"Gotta tell you, that was a too sweet!" Luke admitted.
Luke & Karl – currently in 5th Place
"Nah, that was nothing!" Karl humbled at his partner's remark as the staff gave the clue to him. "Okay, Pit Stop time!" Karl reading the clue.
"Let's move and push!" Luke ordered as they exited the place.
At the Pit Stop, The Siblings arrived at the mat and the local greeted them and greeted back too.
"Lincoln and Lori..." Phil paused. "You're team number four!" Phil announced as they hi-fived and embraced each other.
Lincoln & Lori – 4th Place; arrived at 2:20pm
"We have a great time, Phil!" We have a great time." Lincoln repeated the phrase.
"Well, I guess you've both have improved now. Congratulations." Phil greeted them.
"Thanks." Lori grinned at Phil, then, at Lincoln.
"So, how's your ankle, Lincoln?" Phil asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"It's totally fine right now. No brutal physicality tasks for me, it worked. Best of all, it might be cured anytime soon. All thanks to Lori." Lincoln grinned at his big sister.
"Oh, Lincoln! You're making me feel awkward." Lori felt embarrassed but adored at the remark of Lincoln. "But I gotta say, I'm literally having fun with you right now." Lori grinned again as she embraced her little brother; Lincoln embraced back.
"Well, I guess a sweet sibling moment couldn't be interrupted, isn't it?" Phil interrupted as they glanced at Phil but they laughed at the statement.
Next, The Wrestlers also arrived at the mat.
"Luke and Karl..." Phil paused. "You're team number five!"
Luke & Karl – 5th Place; arrived at 2:29pm
"Alright." Luke first said as they hi-fived each other.
"How does it feel that you gained a lot of momentum lately?" Phil asked.
"Well, the challenges of this leg was a little..." Karl used his finger to measure the difficulty. "...average." Karl laughed.
"We'll definitely upgrading our game!" Luke stated.
"I guess that you'll expect some challenges that might be difficult to handle. Just keep your energies up at all times." Phil gave a tip.
"Sure, we'll take that." Karl confidently answered as they do the Too Sweet gesture at each other.
While at the Volcano Park, The Couple has arrived at the scene followed by The Twins as they ran to the clue box and picked one and take a number.
"6." Mr. Bean announced.
"7." Mary announced.
"Who's ready for the heat and the feat?" Irma reads the question.
"Ok, so that's me actually." Mr. Bean pointed at himself.
"Okay."
Mr. Bean ran to the hot spring as he wears his gear and jacket with a little assistance.
"You'll do it." Mary said.
"Ugh! I hate Two Roadblocks in a leg!" Susan replied with anger as she watches Mr. Bean preparing for the tightrope walking.
"Come on, you can do it!" Irma cried as she cheers her boyfriend.
"Yeah! So we could be next already!" Susan cheered and complained at the same time.
Mr. Bean started to walk but a little clumsiness is shown; concentrating at the other side, hoping for a fall-free walk. He gained a little speed as he tries to control the balance, but still walking.
"That's it! You're almost there!" Irma continued to cheer.
Mr. Bean was almost there but suddenly he accidentally stomped his other foot as he stumbled. Miraculously, he controlled the balance and leaped; landing at the other side safely. Irma and The Twins was shocked about this.
"Phew! Just adding some tricks to it." Mr. Bean chuckled and wiped his sweat as he is now concentrating on swimming.
"Come on! Don't do anything stupid!" Irma cried as Mr. Bean heard it and nodded.
"Okay. Here I go!" Mr. Bean whispered to himself as he dropped down to the water and suddenly got up. "Ah! Hot!" He reacted as he stared to swim.
"Come on!" Irma continues to shout and Susan starts her tightrope walking.
"Okay, Mary! Use your brains!" Mary shouted.
Mr. Bean was now almost finished while Susan is now concentrating to preserve her position, she carefully walks, foot by foot. After a few seconds, Mr. Bean got up from the water as he was done with the challenge. Irma ran towards him as she embraced him.
"Good job! Good job!" Irma repeatedly said as the staff gave the clue to Mr. Bean and opened it.
Mr. Bean & Irma – currently in 6th Place
"Alright, let's go." Mr. Bean simply ordered as they started to leave the place.
"Come on, Sus! Stay focus!" Mary continued to cheer her sister.
"Done!" Susan shouted as she finished the tightrope walking as she prepares for the swimming part.
"Sometimes, you use the Science to measure something or counting the possibilities of anything! So we could keep ourselves in the race." Mary stated in the confessional. Susan started to dropped herself down on to the hot waters.
"Man, it's hot! And a 40-degree also!" Susan calculated the temperature of the hot spring and started to swim.
"Come on, Susan! Swim faster!" Mary shouted.
"Gotta swim faster." Susan said to herself as she continues.
"Su-san! Su-san! Su-san!" Mary continued.
"Sometimes cheering makes you annoying. It distracts everything; well, not everything. Except that we're in The Amazing Race, it will keep you on staying in the race." Mary said in the confessional.
"That's one of the logical explanations, though." Susan added as Mary was annoyed by this.
Susan was done in the Roadblock challenge and got up from the waters.
"Alright, that was refreshing though!" Susan admitted as the staff gave the clue to her and rushed towards to her sister.
Susan & Mary – currently in 7th Place
"It's gotta be the Pit Stop, isn't it?" Mary rhetorically asked.
"Obvious time is obvious." Susan asked.
"Alright, let's roll!" Mary ordered as they exited.
Cutting back to the Pit Stop, where The Couple has arrived at the mat.
"Mr. Bean and Irma..." Phil paused. "You're team number six!"
Mr. Bean & Irma – 6th Place; arrived at 2:53pm
"Great!" Mr. Bean simply said.
3:10PM
The last bus arrived at the bus stop and the teams starting to exit the bus.
"Alright, the cars!" Bloo commanded as they started to run.
"These lanterns are awesome!" Mac cried.
"Yeah, let's just focus on the cars, shall we?" Bloo frowned.
"Wow, look at the lights!" Margaret stared at the colorful lantern lights.
"I know right?!" Eileen jumped.
"Well you know what, let's find those cars." Margaret stopped the joyful moment as Eileen agreed and started to search for the cars.
"I hope it's not that far." Cyborg wished.
"Well it's downtown, so it might be far or not!" Robin explained with swaying of his hands.
"You have a point, actually." Cyborg finally agreeing at the explanation.
The Chipettes were silent at the whole time but they're having a hard time to make up. Jeanette was still giving the silent treatment onto her partner, while Brittany was trying to gave an explanation but she cannot. Brittany acted as the leader temporarily.
"Ok..." Brittany muttered. "Cars. Cars. Cars. Where are you?"
"Well since I break out from outta nowhere, I just don't know what I'm going to do right now. It's d-devastating to her." Brittany sighed at the confessional.
"This is going to be bad..." Brittany put her face down on the floor. "...really bad."
Everything was bad for Brittany, while Jeanette is still giving her that treatment. The screen starts to be a slow-motion as it fades to black for a commercial break.
"This is going to be bad..." Brittany put her face down on the floor. "...really bad."
"This is totally the worst leg I have ever stepped right now. Jeanette's silence is killing me right now. I can't do anything for that right now!" Brittany confessed on the confessional.
"Okay, just stay focus and concentrate." Brittany said to herself as she is still searching for the cars.
While Brittany was still on the searching process, she heard a scream that is coming from the other side of the street. She saw The Workers calling for them and waving their hands.
"Hey, guys! Over here!" Margaret cried.
"Yoo-hoo!" Eileen added.
"Jeanette, hope you don't mind. Follow me." Brittany simply said as Jeanette gave a silent reaction and followed her.
After running to them, The Chipettes found out that they found the parking lot and started to choose a car.
"Thank you guys so much!" Brittany thanked them.
"No problem, just helping with you guys." Margaret received the compliment and winks at Brittany.
"Okay. Let's go." Brittany told herself as she started the engine and left and The Workers followed suit.
"So we got to help The Chipmunk Girls a little bit because we are a little bit of worried about the tension between them earlier." Margaret said at the confessional and Eileen nodded.
"It's not that we are not trying to break their sisterhood, but at least there's no more tension that I can heard from them right now." Eileen added.
Brittany was driving the car while Jeanette was staring at the open window, still in silence.
"Jeanette..." Brittany glanced at her sister.
"Okay, so this is gonna be a climactic moment right now. Hope we didn't get eliminated and lost somewhere." Eileen wished.
"Yeah, I mean there's two more teams on the Downtown." Margaret said while driving.
At the Downtown, The Titans and The Imaginary Friends are still on the streets trying to find the parking lot as fast as they can. They scattered at the streets and they started to ask the locals for directions.
"You know any parking lots, sir?" Bloo asked a local.
"Go straight." The local answered and swiped his finger upward.
"Thank you, sir!" Mac thanked as they started to run straight ahead.
"I hope that was the right one!" Bloo wished.
"Do you know any parkways?" Cyborg asked the local man.
"Straight then go left." The local answered.
"Thank you, sir!" Cyborg thanked the man and gave him a handshake as they started to run.
"Left." Robin said as they run and turn left.
"Oh, there it is! I can see it!" Cyborg pointed a finger as they saw a car.
"Yes!" Robin cried as they entered the parking lot and chose a car.
"We're not the last, bro!" Cyborg felt soothed as they saw another car.
"Fine, let's go." Robin ordered as Cyborg started the engine and left the parking lot.
While The Titans left, The Imaginary Friends saw them leaving, meaning that they are on the last place.
"Come on, we can catch up!" Mac said as they rushed towards to the parking lot and saw that there is only one car.
"Shoot. We're last! Let's hurry!" Bloo stared to panicking as they entered the vehicle and starts the engine.
"Okay. Let's roll!" Mac smirked as they left the parking lot.
While The Chipettes saw that they are now on the volcano park as Brittany finds a parking and both exiting the vehicle.
"Where's the clue?" Brittany started to run to the gate, Jeanette followed her.
The Workers also arriving at the park as they exited the vehicle and entering the gate.
"Hmm, this place looks weird." Eileen described.
"Sure, but where's the clue box anyway?" Margaret asked rhetorically.
The Chipettes finally found the clue box as Brittany picked the number "8", ripped it and read it.
"Jeanette." Brittany called her sister as she gave the clue to her.
"Okay." Jeanette simply replied as per Brittany, she was soothed as she finally heard her voice after that little debacle earlier. Jeanette ran to the hot spring and prepares to wear her jacket and gear.
The Workers picked the "9" on the queue sticker and started to read the clue.
"Who's ready for the heat and the feat?" Margaret reads the question.
"Okay, that's me. Geez, what's with the Two Roadblocks in a leg though?" Eileen read the details.
At the Pit Stop, The Twins arrived at the mat.
"Susan and Mary..." Phil paused. "You're team number seven!"
Susan & Mary – 7th Place; arrived at 3:34pm
"Yay!" Both sisters squealed and jumped in happiness.
"So, how's the leg for you both?" Phil asked.
"Well, since we're not last, it's a little improvement for us. We're lucky that we made at the second bus." Mary answered.
"Wait, if I could recall of what's the reason of you both joining this competition, what was that again?" Phil trying to remember.
"Oh, Phil! It's for Gil!" Susan replied as she mentioned that name, they squealed again.
"Funny thing is that Gil rhymes with Phil, and maybe he's my brother or some sort?" Phil trying to play The Twins as he chuckled.
"Oh, Phil!" Susan swaying her fingers and both girls started to laugh. "You're funny, Phil!" She added as Phil chuckled again.
Back at the volcano park, Jeanette finished the tightrope walking and now focusing on the swimming part. While Eileen starts the tightrope walking.
"Come on Eileen!" Margaret started to cheer.
"Jeanette! Come on!" Brittany started to cheer her while Jeanette heard that voice. "Don't you quit on me!" She added.
"Brittany?" Jeanette heard that familiar voice and she saw it was Brittany who's smiling at her, she smiled back as she started to swim.
"That's it!" Brittany shouted more.
"Eileen, let's go! Come on!" Margaret cheered.
Jeanette tries to make her speed go up and she did. While Eileen, is taking some time to concentrate the balance on the tightrope. After that, Jeanette finished the challenge and she got up with assistance. Brittany rushed to her.
"Jeanette, how do you feel right now?" Brittany asked.
"I feel good, really." Jeanette simply answered and smiled to her.
"Jeanette..." Brittany smiled back and hugged her. "I'm so, so, sorry." She whispered in Jeanette's ears.
"Sure, I'm sorry too for giving you the silent treatment." Jeanette replied back as she embraced her too.
The staff gave the clue to Jeanette as she removes the gear and jacket to open the clue.
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in 8th Place
"Alright, Jeanette! Come with me." Brittany offered a hand as Jeanette gladly accepted it and smiled as they exited the place. While Eileen starts to swim at the hot waters.
"Eileen! Go! Go! Go!" Margaret continues to shout.
"I feel good on that hot water though, it's so refreshing and I felt a sudden energy coming up after that." Eileen said in the confessional.
"Good for you." Margaret replied with a sarcastic tone.
Suddenly, Eileen felt a sudden feeling onto her, she started to swim faster. Margaret surprised at that and also, Eileen herself.
"Come on! Ei! Let's go!" Margaret continued to cheer on her.
With a speed like that, Eileen finished the challenge and got up with some assistance. Margaret rushed towards her while Eileen wiped herself from wetness. The staff gave the clue to Eileen and opened it.
Eileen & Margaret – currently in 9th Place
"Pit Stop. Finally." Margaret cooled herself and sighed.
"Well? What are we waiting for?" Eileen rhetorically asked.
"Gee. Calm down." Margaret said and Eileen giggled as they starting to leave the volcano park.
The Chipettes has arrived at the Pit Stop and stomped the mat with some smiles on their faces.
"Brittany and Jeanette..." Phil paused. "You're team number eight!"
Brittany & Jeanette – 8th Place; arrived at 4:13pm
"That's good." Both girls said in unison as they are surprised.
"I heard that you're on some big tension on you both right now." Phil said.
"Yeah." Brittany answered and scratched her hair.
"Ugh, why are you asking that?" Jeanette curiously asked.
"Because there is a team that is really having a concern on you both." Phil explained and The Chipettes were confused about this. "Come on, they're here!" Phil shouted as The Chipmunks came towards them. "Alright teams, make up with yourselves. But not in the mat, go find some private place to talk about the situation." Phil commanded as both teams nodded and left the mat.
After that, The Workers arrived also at the mat to check in.
"Eileen and Margaret..." Phil paused. "You're team number nine!"
Eileen & Margaret – 9th Place; arrived at 4:24pm
"Boo-yah!" Eileen taunted while Margaret cheered.
While at the volcano park, The Titans arrived at the scene and exited the park as they ran inside the park to picked up their next clue and the number "10" sticker.
"Who's ready for the heat and the feat?" Robin asked. "Okay, it's my turn."
"Come on Rob! Just do what you do!" Cyborg trying to motivate his partner as Robin rushed towards to the hot spring and started to wear his gear and jacket.
"I'm on it!" Robin replied as he started to walk on to the tightrope.
The Imaginary Friends also arriving at the park and ran inside to picked up the last clue and the number "11" sticker.
"Mac, you're gonna do it." Bloo said.
"Sure, but we're last!" Mac replied.
"Come on, Mac! We're still here though! Phil will say 'you're team number ten!' to us!" Bloo tried to comforting Mac.
"Sure, I hope I will hear that later." Mac replied with a sarcasm in his tone.
While Robin successfully finished the tightrope walking and started to focus on the swimming, Mac started to wear the jacket and gear as he started to walk on to the tightrope.
"Come on, Robin!" Cyborg shouted.
"Come on, Mac! Step up!" Bloo followed.
"I'm trying!" Mac still concentrates on balancing himself.
"Robin! Come on! Don't be a fool of me!" Cyborg continued.
Robin kept swimming and Mac is now on the middle of the tightrope and tries to focus on balancing.
"Come on, Rob!" Cyborg continued.
"Almost there..." Robin muttered as he is nearby at the other end.
"Robin!"
"Ah!" Robin shouted as he hold the wall meaning that he was finished with the challenge and got up.
"Alright! Good job!" Cyborg complimented and the staff gave the clue to Robin.
"Mac! Let's go! Come on! We don't wanna be last!" Bloo starts to turn up his volume.
"Okay. Let's get out of here." Cyborg said as Robin opened the clue and The Titans left the place.
Robin & Cyborg – currently in 10th Place
Mac is now dropping himself on to the hot waters and started to push himself to the limit.
"Mac! Faster! Faster!" Bloo started to shout aggressively.
Trying and trying, Mac aggressively swims at his best as he is now almost on the other side.
"MAC!"
"Ahhh!" Mac reached the wall as he was panting heavily.
"Come on, dude! Get up!"
"Alright, alright." Mac gets the clue from the staff as he wiped his soaked body.
"Come on, we got no time to lose." Bloo ordered as Mac was done wiping and opens the clue.
Bloo & Mac – currently in Last Place
"Alright." Mac answered as they exited the place and hopped on to their vehicle.
"Which way?" Bloo asked.
"Oh, I know the way out but on the way to the park..." Mac paused. "...not much." Mac finished as they left the park.
Somewhere down the road, The Titans is still figuring out the directions going to the Pit Stop.
"I don't see any signs." Cyborg notices that there is a lack of signs.
"Yeah, maybe we should ask someone?" Robin suggested.
"Sure, but I don't see any folks out here." Cyborg answered.
While The Imaginary Friends are asking some locals for directions.
"Manuel Antonio Park?" Mac asked.
The locals answered with a swipe upwards, indicating that it is straight ahead.
"10 kilometers." The other local man said.
"Thank you." Mac accepted the guide and closes his window. "I think we're going in a right direction." Mac started to move.
The Titans finally found a local as they asked that man.
"You know Manuel Antonio Park?" Cyborg asked.
"Go back, go back." The local answered and swaying his hands in a cycle motion.
"Thanks." Cyborg accepted the answer and closes the window.
"What? Are you kidding me? Go back?" Robin asked with multiple questions on his mind as he crossed his arms in anger.
"I know right? This is disappointing!" Cyborg replied as they turned their vehicle back.
After a few minutes of asking some locals, both teams finally saw the sign that they are almost near at the Pit Stop.
"There it is! There it is!" Bloo shouted aggressively and jumped onto his seat.
"Alright, calm yourself!" Mac was annoyed as they turn left.
"Okay, there it is." Cyborg saw the sign.
"Alright, take left." Robin ordered.
"Alright." Cyborg followed.
"Okay, let's park here!" Mac recommended as they stopped their vehicle to park at a certain spot.
"Here we are, a good parking spot!" Cyborg announced as Robin was in a ready position to exit the vehicle.
"Come on, Cyborg! We gotta get there fast!" Robin ordered as Cyborg nodded and started to run.
"Bloo, come on! Before it's too late!" Mac ordered as Bloo follows and started to run.
"This way." Bloo saw the route marker sign and followed it.
"This way." Cyborg also saw the route marker sign and also followed it.
"Oh my god! This is really scary!" Bloo said as they crossed the bridge.
"Man, this park is so wide!" Robin described the place.
"Yeah!" Cyborg agreed.
"I think, I see Phil over there." Robin checking the silhouette as he peeked more, it was Phil. Cyborg peeked also.
"Yeah, we gotta run!" Cyborg ordered and Robin followed as they are running right now.
"Come on, where's Phil?" Mac complained.
"I think he's over there." Bloo pointed a finger as they saw Phil on a covered waiting area as they ran.
"We're coming for you, Phil!" Mac shouted.
"Phil!" Robin shouted.
Montage of the Pit Stop area is shown. From artifacts to the waters of the place and then the cameraman was running onto the mat as Phil saw a glimpse of a team and Phil points a finger to guide the local that there is a team incoming. Then that team stomped at the mat with a nervous smiles on their faces.
"Bienvenido a San Jose... Welcome to Costa Rica!" The local greeted them.
"Thank you!" Both members nervously accepted the welcome.
"Bloo and Mac..." Phil gave a signature eyebrow raise to them. "You're team number TEN!"
Bloo & Mac – 10th Place; arrived at 4:46pm
A few seconds of silence is happening as The Imaginary Friends widened their mouths as they found the news.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" Bloo shouted.
"Oh my God!" Mac shouted also.
"You're still on the race. Congratulations!" Phil congratulated them.
"Golly! I am so happy!" Bloo shouted in joy.
"Do I ever look bad? We're still in it! Woooow! Can't even move a limb right now." Bloo confessed at the confessional.
"Wow! We didn't expect this one out! It's like... from out of nowhere!" Mac added.
While The Titans arrived at the Pit Stop Mat.
"Robin and Cyborg..." Phil paused. "You're the last team to arrive."
"Say what now?" Both men were surprised at the news.
"You're the last team to arrive..." Phil paused. "And I'm sorry to tell you that you both have been eliminated from the race."
Robin & Cyborg – Eliminated
"Wow." Robin still felt the surprise factor.
"Oh, man! I'm sorry that we lost." Cyborg blamed himself.
"Nah-uh! Don't ever say that, dude! At least we still have each other right?" Robin motivated his partner.
"Sure, dude! We still have each other." Cyborg agreeing to the remark as he hugged his brother and Robin hugged back.
"Well, I'm sorry that I have to say that. But you look proud of each other, right?" Phil convincing the team.
"Definitely agree." Robin agreed as Cyborg nodded.
"Wow, we already eliminated but we still manage to finish a leg. That's on my bucket list too!" Robin confessed at the confessional.
"Me too, but whoever wins The Amazing Race, we will waiting for you." Cyborg pointed at the screen.
"Whatever, let's go back to the headquarters. Our friends needed us now." Robin felt homesick.
"Sure, sure. Let's go." Cyborg followed.
The Titans left the Pit Stop with their bags and left the place.
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. "Will The Chipettes be on the same page, once in for all?"
The Chipettes glanced at each other as they opened the clue. "So who's doing it?" Brittany asked.
"As teams takes a splash..." Phil described the next scene.
"Really? Is this necessary?" Margaret felt disgusted as we saw a small volume of water dripping down on her face.
"And some teams lost in time..." Phil described the next scene.
"This is hopeless..." Marceline covers her face as it turns into a slow-motion.

A/N: Since I'm finished with the second leg, there's a possibility that I'll published this at December(maybe at Christmas Season) but school totally blocks my time on writing.
Leg 1 Fun Fact: I used the Season 29's "Find the Express Pass" challenge but instead of luggage, I changed it into magazines. And also the same season's starting point, The Grand Hope Park.
So I'll see you at December, right here on The Amazing Race: Cartoon Crossover!
Cya~
