Episode #4 - Everything's Underrated For Me! – Lincoln
"Previously on The Amazing Race..." Phil started. "...teams continued racing in Argentina!"
"Look at the place! It's so cool!" Lincoln saw different buildings and a wide beach.
"The top teams fell down flat to the bottom!"
"This is hopeless..." Marceline covers and shakes her face.
"As some teams took advantage of it."
"Let's get it on!" Luke shouted as his partner both laughed and executed their taunt.
"While the bottom three gave their all just to stay in the race."
"Come on! For the love of Amazing Race!" Simon cried as he patted the back of the animal repeatedly, the horse went faster, Simon was holding the sides of the horse.
"Simon! Let him all out!" Marceline suggested.
"Come on, we can do this!" Joey said as he washes the sides of the horse.
"After a battle for survival, The Roaches who came in last."
"Joey and Marky... you're the last team to arrive. And I'm sorry to tell you that you both have been eliminated from the race."
"Nine teams remaining... who will be eliminated... next?"
(The intro is on the first chapter)
We kicked the episode with different shots of different structures; from the places that the teams went to the buggies and to the Pit Stop location. Then, the sun has risen in Buenos Aires as a team was standing on the mat waiting for their time of departure.
"7:35..." Lincoln looked at his watch. "7:36. Go!"
Lori rips the clue and opened it to read.
Lincoln & Lori – departed at 7:36am
"Make your way to Zambia!"
"Teams will fly more than 5000 miles to the African country of Zambia. Once arrived, they will drive themselves to Batoka Aerodrome where their next clue is waiting for them." Phil explained.
"Okay, Zambia. Does that mean there's a Zambia-ut there?" Lincoln joked.
"Oh, shove it, Lincoln. I don't wanna hear any bad jokes from Luan for the meantime, but you just broke it." Lori gave a glaring look at Lincoln.
"Nah, I just missed her jokes, to be honest," Lincoln responded with a stoic tone.
"Okay, twerp. Let's move." Lori ordered and started to walk.
"Sure." Lincoln followed suit.
"It feels so good to be number one! It kinda settles me, literally." Lori chuckled as she states it at the confessional.
"Of course! I'm happy that we're on top, and we want it to keep it until the end. As long as there is no disturbances and barricades blocking our way." Lincoln added as Lori nodded at the statement.
The Siblings entered the taxi and closed the door as their vehicle drove away.
"Zambia, Zambia, Zambia. Which continent is it?" Lori asked.
"Wait, is that a rhetorical question? That's seventh-grade geography! It's Africa!" Lincoln's answering tone went high.
"There's no need to raise your voice, twerp."
"There's no need to ask me that kinds of questions, you could ask your phone that." He crossed his arms.
Silence and the frown was the response of the teenager and Lincoln smirked. "Someone just got burned."
After a few minutes of taxi travel, they arrived at the airport and entered the premise to find an airline company for their next destination.
"Alright, let's find a certain African Airline!" Lincoln raised a finger as he continues walking
"Okay, Mr. Geography, you'll do the job and I... will just follow you." Lori crossed her arms and followed suit.
After a few seconds of walking, they found a certain airline as they negotiated the counter.
"We would like to book a flight for Livingstone," Lincoln asked while re-reading the clue.
The counter complied as she started typing and finding a flight for them. After a few seconds...
"8:30am, today. But you'll arrive first at Johannesburg at 6:45pm and Livingstone at 7:35pm."
"Nice decision, Lincoln." Lori simply complimenting her little brother and smiled at him.
"Well..." He scratched his white hair and chuckled. "That's luck. But by the way, I apologized for that mean response earlier, I just wanna get back at you for roughing me."
Lori cooed. "Linc, don't worry, I accept your apology. We're in the race right now, so roughing could bring us down!"
"Okay." He simply smiled.
The ticket was received by the first team as they high-fived each other.
Lincoln & Lori – 1st Team on 1st Flight
After 45 minutes of waiting, their flight will be on air for a few minutes as The Siblings arrived at their plane. They are the only team on this flight; they sat down on their chairs as they waved to the screen.
"This would be worth it," Lincoln said.
"This should be," Lori reassured.
Soon after, the plane lifted off into the air as they are now making their way to Africa.
While on the other hand, the second or the last flight contained the remaining eight teams as they sat and they started to do random things.
Luke & Karl – 2nd Flight
"Most of the teams are on this flight. So we expect that this will be a neck and neck situation to deal with." Karl explained their current situation.
"I think this will be an ultimate switcheroo and it's gonna be competitive," Mac said.
"Once prepared, will always be prepared." Bloo gave a quote.
"I hope we will stay on top..." Eileen said.
"Or going in first!" Margaret completed the statement for her partner.
"Alright, off we go!" Alvin cried.
The second flight lifts off to the air also.
7:41PM
After a long eleven hour flight and a stopover, the first flight arrived at Zambia. The Siblings exited the airplane to run and started to find the way out of the airport.
"Where's the exit? We need to find the marked car." Lori asked Lincoln.
"It's out there somewhere..." Lincoln said as they stopped to look at the signs upward. "...exit! This way!" He gestured to the left as they started to move again.
"There's the exit! And I can see the vehicles and it's-it's..." Lori saw a bunch of vehicles outside and ran outside.
"...different?"
"Yeah." She nodded.
"When was the last time we used a jeep?" Lori asked in their confessional.
"At the first one, I believe?" Lincoln wasn't sure about his answer.
"When your ankle got wrecked badly?"
"I'm so proud of you!" Lori said in an emotional tone as she lifted Lincoln and lets him sit down on the front seat of the jeep as she starts the engine and gave a glance to her Lincoln as she gave a smile for his sacrifice.
"Yeah. I think it was. What a bad day that was." Lincoln flinched and cringed at that flashback.
Both of them entered at their jeeps as Lori started the engine and turned on the headlights, due to night time. They are now moving and exiting the airport.
"What could be the feeling that we're racing at night?" Lincoln asked.
"Hard to say, Lincoln. But I think it's that hard because I can barely see light on the road." Lori squinted her eyes, trying to find a light on the road.
"I'm literally terrified at the sight. When we left the city or something, we just met darkness. I am just cautious on the road." Lori said in the confessional.
After 8 minutes of trailing off the road, they finally found their first points at Zambia.
"Batoka Aerodrome. That's it!" Lincoln found a group of planes on site.
"Alright," Lori gave an evil smirk as they pulled over and ran to the gate, but somehow they encountered a sign, that says:
"Dang it, 7 o'clock!" Lincoln reads it in a frustrating voice.
"Guess, all of them will catch up and take over our place," Lori said.
"This is what I'm afraid of happening... and it's-it's gonna happen!" Lincoln started to panicking and wandering.
"Lincoln, relax, please. Let's just need some sleep right now." Lori convinced Lincoln to exhale the stress.
"Okay, okay. I just need some rest too." Lincoln sighed.
After that short sibling conversation, both of them laid on the ground to get some shut-eye. They used their bags as their pillow, just to feel their heads comfortable.
"Another stressful race later..." Lincoln yawned as he closed his eyes, followed by Lori.
7:00AM
The sun has risen from above, a noise coming from a plane, a shot of waterfalls was seen. The gate from the aerodrome starts to open as teams raced their way to the clue box. All of them murmured as they grabbed their clues and opened it.
"Who's ready..." Lori reads the first two words.
"...for the heights..." Karl followed.
"...of the century?" Susan added.
"At this Roadblock, teams will go on for a wet ride of their lives, where one of them will face the terrifying Roadblock challenge ever." Phil stopped to look at the sight of the falls. "One team member will choose a microlight plane and they will fly above the Victoria Falls. When they landed, they must prepare for a big jump from the falls, 100 feet below. If they managed to fall down successfully, the tourist guides will help them arrived in the land and they will hand over their next clue. While the other team member will watch their partner jump at the Knife Edge's Bridge, where they will reunite." Phil explained the challenge.
"It's your turn, Lori," Lincoln said.
"Kay, fine." Lori groaned as she reads the instruction; she widened her eyes for a few seconds. "What the heck? Are you kidding?! This is literally ridiculous!"
"Wow... okay. That's fine... alright." Karl said in a nonchalant tone.
"Come on, man! You can do it, it's some weird bullcrap that you need to face!" Luke punched Karl's shoulder, which Karl rubs that part.
"One hundred feet sounds dangerous, from the looks of it. I'm scared!" Susan shivered as she reads the clue.
"Come on, Sus! Let's get that thing done already, so we could be at the top!" Mary comforts her twin sis.
Lori started to climb on the plane as the pilot started the engine as Lori prepares for her ultimate challenge.
Lori gulped. "I think I'm gonna be sick." Lori then quivered.
"Come on, Lori. Stay focus!" Lincoln cried.
The plane takes off as Lori screams. For Lincoln, it was the signal that he needs to go to the bridge, he started to run.
"Gosh! That's damn scary!" Brittany winced.
"I could use some air time if you know what I mean," Alvin smirked at Simon, who frowned.
"That's supposedly an easy but a dangerous job!" Luke said.
"Agreed." Karl nodded.
Lincoln was still running, finding some signs to the bridge.
"This road is so confusing." Lincoln huffed while jogging. "Ah! There's the arrow!" He saw an arrow with a route marker as he turned tight.
While at the air, Lori was still shaking at her seat.
"Oh my God, I can't move in my seat and I just can't do any movements on the plane. It was happening too fast!" Lori said in the confessional.
"Oh my God!" Lori said with a shrieking voice as she embraces herself.
While Karl's plane starts its engine as he prepares to fly up in the sky.
"Never ride a plane ride without windows, so this might be the most pressured ride that I have, all of my life," Karl said to the viewers.
"They said that there's a five minute time interval for every plane that will take off to the falls. That will keep the other teams waiting." Luke said to the viewers, then, he heard the plane take off and shouted: "Let's get it on, K!"
"Wooohooo!" Karl cried with joy. "It's better than I expected!"
"It's amazing to see the whole place in sky view. I mean, it's better than an airplane though." Karl laughed in his confessional.
While Lori, recompose herself to see the sights of the place. She was surprised at the highlights of the entire place.
"Wow! From the moment that I freaked out, now, I'm being astonished by the falls! Literally amazing." Lori said in an almost muffling voice, due to the annoying engine noise.
Back at the land, Lincoln can now see a bridge, he also was amazed by the sight.
"There's the route marker and... O-M-G! This is awesome! I could see the falls from over here!" Lincoln said as he was now soaked in water. "God, now I just got showered."
At the Aerodrome, Susan was next in line as the plane started to fly in the sky. She cheered when the moment they take off.
"Let's go, Susan! Have fun!" Mary cried as she started to run.
While The Workers are watching them leave the place.
"Are you ready, Margaret?" Eileen asked.
"Maybe?" Margaret answered with a scratch on her head.
"I could see your nervousness in your face, dude," Eileen questioned her partner's movements.
Margaret sighed. "Fine. I'm both excited and scared."
"Don't worry, Margaret. You'll experience something amazing, and I'm probably jealous." Eileen confessed.
"Awww! Don't be jealous! I mean it may happen again somewhere at the next leg or the future." Margaret embraced her partner.
"Sometimes, you just got to hang with these sadistic thoughts and run them down," Eileen said in their confessional.
After a long ride above, the plane where Lori occupied landed on land at the top of the falls. Then, the safety crew started to assist the girl by giving her, a helmet and a big life jacket.
"God, look at the height of the falls, it's literally the scariest part of the Roadblock," Lori said to the viewers.
"Hey, I could see Lori now... maybe I need binoculars for a better view." Lincoln now squinting his eyes due to the volume of water falling down to him.
Finally, Lori was all set and she's now preparing for the ultimate fall.
"1... 2... 3!"
Lori then falls down and screamed, while Lincoln was shocked at the moment.
"My God! That's a long way down there!" Lincoln said.
After a few seconds, Lori successfully splashed into the bottom. While a boat appeared in front of her, to guide the blonde. The crew holds her both hands to climb up the boat.
Lori panted. "Man! That was..." She panted again. "Unbelievable!" Lori said as they started rowing towards the land.
"Okay, now Lori needs to find me here. And I am now showering without the shower!" Lincoln said.
Then, he heard a cry coming from Luke, waving him and said. "Hey!"
"Hey, man!" Lincoln waved back as Luke shared fives at each other. "Man, you must watch when your bro falls down the falls!" The former joked.
Luke chuckled. "Of course, I'm getting it later."
Back at the aerodrome, Margaret was now on board as she prepares for a take-off, as it started to move and flies away.
She screamed and let out an "O-M-G!"
"Now we're running..." Eileen said as she started to run.
After a few minutes of fighting the waves, Lori successfully landed as a crew gave them a waterproof-packed clue.
"You need to find Knife's Edge bridge to see your partner." One of the safety crew told her.
"Okay, thank you!" Lori nodded as she started to run.
The plane with Karl on board landed as he was helped by the crew to set his safety gear.
"Man, if I'm not gonna make it, tell Luke that I used his toothbrush as a remover for the poop in my shoe," Karl said to the viewers as he jumped and screamed. "Holy smokes!" He continued screaming.
At the bridge, Lori found Lincoln as the latter left Luke and say goodbye to him. They run for a few seconds to find a dry place as Lori rip the clue to read it.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 1st Place
"Make your way to Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge..." Lincoln reads the clue.
"Teams will drive themselves to the Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge in the nearby country of Zimbabwe where the Lodge Manager is waiting for them to get their clues," Phil explained the next info.
"Alright, let's go," Lori commanded as they started to run.
While up in the air, Margaret felt relieved at the sights below.
"Myself was getting a little numb in the air, but when I saw these beloved sights, I felt cool about it. The land, the animals, the falls... it's like a dry wonderland that I really wanted to go." Margaret said in the confessional.
Karl just found his partner at the bridge as they left the bridge.
Luke & Karl – currently in 2nd Place
"Good job, man." Luke praised his tag team partner.
While Mary just arrived at the bridge, squinting her eyes from the sprinkling waters.
"This bridge is... distracting the view."
While her partner successfully landed as she wears the safety gear to prepare for the biggest jump of her life.
"I know this is crazy balls, but I think bungee jumping is better than this one." Susan gulped.
"Well, what are we waiting for, Susan? Jump!" Mary cried.
"Okay, here it comes!" Susan then jumped and screamed.
"Yeah!"
"Oh my God!"
"The velocity was just unbelievable! I mean it's faster than bungee jumping, I can't even see a thing there." Susan said in the confessional, then, she splashed down to the bottom.
Back at the aerodrome, Brittany just climbed up to the plane and wears her seatbelt and helmet.
"I know you can do this, Brit!" Jeanette shouted.
"I know!" Brittany shouted back and the engine started as it takes off; Brittany screamed in joy.
"Ah... I wish I could do that, but who knows. I'll run now." Jeanette started to run.
After a long trip, The Siblings stopped as they saw someone blocking their way. They exited their jeeps to ask.
"Excuse me, where are your passports?" The guard asked.
"Eh, why?" Lori questioning their presence.
"You're leaving Zambia and your passports must be stamped first before you enter Zimbabwe."
"Oh." Both of them cooed.
"You need to go to that building over there to stamp." The guard pointed his finger at a building.
"Ah, thank you!" Lincoln said as they started to run.
"I didn't know about this, we're leaving another country, on land. That's unusual." Lincoln said in their confessional.
"And also... a waste of time," Lori replied.
"We got to respect the authorities, you know?"
They are now currently processing their passports to be stamped.
"Well, there goes our long lead... again." Lori sighed. "Not a fun scenario..."
Lori's face started to turn into frustration as she leaned on a wall, and everything started to turn into slow-mo; indicating a commercial break!
Back at the falls, Margaret just started to wear her safety gear as she put the helmet on her head.
"Oh, boy! The falls were just a struck of shocker and awesomeness! But I think that was just an opinion, it's about to get real!" Margaret said in the confessional.
Then, Margaret suddenly jumped and screamed and let out an: "Oh my God!"
At the bridge, Eileen arrived on the spot while Mary was still waiting for her partner.
"Hey there, uhm..." Eileen was quizzed on who's in front of her.
"Mary."
"Ah, sorry. Sometimes, I just confused if I met twins, just like you." Eileen said.
"Don't worry. That's common. By the way, I just saw your partner jumped."
"Wait, what?! Did I miss it? Oh, dang, it." Eileen became down a little.
After that conversation, Susan had just arrived to meet Mary.
Susan & Mary – currently in 3rd Place
"Oh glad you found it!" Mary greeted her sister.
"That's one muddy road down there. Now let's get out of here!"
"Sure, sure." Mary nodded and began to run, then, she turned around to wave at Eileen. "Bye!"
"Bye!" Eileen waved back.
"I did miss Margaret's fall and that's not cool!" Eileen said in the confessional. "Maybe I could use some jogging exercise after the race."
While traveling air, Brittany just look down to see the different sights of the country.
"Awesome, this is just wonderful! I mean it's one of my bucket lists and it's gonna be out of the box!" Brittany muttered.
"I'm so jealous of Brittany! I love nature but Brittany took the Roadblock already. And now, I feel bummed." Jeanette admitted in their confessional.
"Ah, don't worry, Jeanette. Maybe the next leg could be your leg." Brittany responded.
"Yeah, maybe." Jeanette shyly nodded.
Alvin was the one who took the Roadblock as he climbed up and wears his helmet and seatbelt to prepare. The engine started afterward.
"Here we go!" Alvin said as they take off. "Woo!"
"I'm an expert at these kinds of challenges, I might finish that 'falling over the falls' challenge without a helmet," Alvin said in their confessional.
"Well, Alvin. Do you want us to get penalized?" Simon glared at his partner.
"Ah, no, silly. I want a safety gear to be right on." Alvin chuckled nervously.
"Time to find that bridge," Simon muttered while running.
After ten minutes of waiting, The Siblings finally get their passport stamped.
"Gosh, that took long enough," Lincoln said.
"Yeah, but I don't see another jeep here. They must be lost or something." Lori speculated.
"Come on, we gotta see this stamps."
Without a moment, they ran to the guard and showed their passports to him. Then, they got a go signal.
"You may now pass Zimbabwe." The guard welcomed.
"Thank you!" Lori said as they ran back to their jeeps and move on.
"A weird experience - crossing borders on land. Definitely, the weirdest thing that we ever had in this race." Lori admitted in the confessional.
While at the bridge, Margaret just found Eileen as they left the bridge to open the next clue.
Eileen & Margaret – currently in 4th Place
"Okay, wait... we're crossing borders. I think we might need to do something on our passports." Margaret thought for a second.
"Sure, sure." Eileen agreed.
They started to run and leave the place.
"I kinda trusted Margaret at these specific travel guides that she gives. It helps us advanced on something hard or a time-consuming activity." Eileen said in their confessional.
"Travelers knows best." Margaret winked at the camera.
Back at the bridge, Jeanette arrived at the place.
"Aw man! This is so naturalistic!" Jeanette said. "The view of the falls and those trees, it's so fantastic! No wonder Africa is preserving nature."
While at the plane, Brittany and her plane that she occupied the land. As Brittany prepares for the biggest fall of her life.
"Eeee! This isn't gonna end well..." Brittany gulped while wearing her safety gears.
"Ah! There goes Brit! I hope it won't scare her." Jeanette said.
"Okay..." Brittany breathed. "Here I come!" She jumped and screamed.
"Oh, my God!" Jeanette gasped.
Brittany kept screaming.
"That was one of the most extreme challenges I have ever taken, this is just plain extreme," Brittany said in their confessional, then, splashed down to the water.
"Alright! Now let's wait for Brit to meet me here." Jeanette said to the viewers.
The Siblings finally arrived at Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge as they make their way inside and opened the clue box to get their clue.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 1st Place
"Alright..." Lori opens the clue. "Detour. Co-Op or Crop?"
"At this Detour, teams will choose two different labors that most people here at Zimbabwe, spend their most of the time in a day to do these tasks to share them with the world. Their choices: Co-Op or Crop?"
In Co-Op, teams will go to The Big Five Co-Op and had to pick one carved wooden giraffe and they must paint and polish it properly when their creation is properly painted and dried, the woodcarver will receive their next clue.
In Crop, teams will go to the farm nearby Victoria Falls Hotel and they will pick up some new potato crops and they must put it on to their baskets. Teams will have to use a basket each and collect potatoes, as much as how they can lift. Then, they must proceed to carry their baskets to the farmer, who is standing by at the farm. When they managed to reach 35 pounds or above, the farmer will hand over their next clue." Phil explained their next challenge.
"Let's get carving," Lori answered.
"I don't think that's a good choice, because-"
"Do you want us to get lose in this race or not?" Lori interrupts Lincoln's counter.
"Fine." Lincoln sighed in defeat.
They go back to their vehicle and left the lodge.
Back to the aerodrome, we see Simon entered the plane, as the plane started, they lift up in the air.
"Woohoo!"
"I'm actually fine with Simon flying, cause he's an adventurer expert, for realsies." Marceline chuckled. "Oh, I almost forgot!" She started to run.
At the bridge, The Chipettes met one another as they stopped in a dry area to open their next clue.
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in 5th Place
"Make your way to Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge." Jeanette reads the info. "Come on, let's get out of here!" She commanded as Brittany nods and they started running.
While the Chipmunk Simon, arrived at the bridge, soaking in water.
"I can't believe that this volume of water is so heavy, but the good thing, it's not torrential."
Then, his brother arrived at the top of the falls, Alvin was assisted on wearing his safety gears.
"Okay, so this is one of my best falls, as per my collection of extreme bucket lists. And I don't wanna waste my time, looking at the sight." Alvin said in the confessional.
"I like this Alvin," Simon commented.
"Okay, here I come!" Alvin suddenly jumped and cried. "Oh, yes! This is my life! Woo!"
"Oh, my, that was some height right there. I would totally be crushed out there." Simon describes the challenge.
The Siblings arrived at the co-op and talked to the woodcarver. They picked up a wooden giraffe to start.
"So, how are we going to do this?" Lincoln asked.
"How about checking their work?" Lori suggested as Lincoln nodded and makes their way to a progressing work by a carver.
"So, we see that the giraffe must be painted first, then, polish them, and dry them. Kinda easy to do, to be honest. That's why we chose this Detour." Lori said in their confessional.
Both of them are starting painting the structure.
Back at the aerodrome, Simon and his plane lifted off as Marceline started to run.
"Ahhhhh! Finally..." The latter breathed.
While at the co-op, The Siblings started painting their giraffe. Lincoln paints the body, while Lori takes the head.
"Painting is an underrated thing to do, everything's underrated for me!" Lincoln said.
"Everything's underrated just because you're doing this for the first time, just paint and paint there, so we could proceed quickly," Lori replied.
Lincoln sighs. "Lori... just everytime, you're really so mean." He muttered.
"I can't get to live a whole day without those replies by Lori, she really kills my conscious every time." He said in the confessional.
"Looks like we're gonna be longer here and also, it's kinda hot. I wish we could go back to the falls." Lincoln hoped and takes a soft exhale.
Back at the aerodrome, Mr. Bean chooses to volunteer at this task as he is now on the plane. Soon, as the engine started, he started panicking and screaming, while Irma, laughed at this.
"Oh, Bean, he's such a baby."
While at the bridge, Alvin just met a wet Simon.
"Yoohoo!" Alvin cooed. "Whoa, you look cool there." He joked.
Alvin & Simon – currently in 6th Place
"No time for jokes, let's get outta here!"
They started to run and left the bridge.
At the Lodge, The Wrestlers arrived and got their clue inside the clue box.
Luke & Karl – currently in 2nd Place
"Co-op or Crop?" Luke reads the question. "Crop."
"Crop." Karl also said.
"Holy crop!" They both joked and laughed.
"You know what I like about our team, cause we are having ourselves, some fun time to spend, even the fewest seconds that we could have consumed," Karl said in their confessional, while Luke agrees.
"Alright, crop it is" Luke concluded as they left the lodge.
At the falls, Mr. Bean prepares for the most challenging task ever. While Irma who had just arrived at the bridge, looking for her boyfriend.
"At that moment, I'm going to see an emotional Bean out there falling!" Irma said in the confessional.
Mr. Bean groaned, frowned and crossed his arms.
Back into the reality, Mr. Bean gulped as the safety crew counts him to 3.
"Ah! Could I use some candy first?" He interrupted the counting.
"What the heck are you doing?" Irma complained.
"But, please. I need to breathe some air first." He reasoned.
"Hey, look a rainbow bird!" The crew saw something.
"Where?" Mr. Bean turns back to see nothing, but suddenly he was pushed to the falls and starts to scream.
"There you go!" Irma chuckled.
While at the co-op, The Siblings continues to paint the wooden giraffe as they start to struggle.
"Really? This is taking too long! I thought we were polishing right now. And then, we're still painting it?" Lori started to complain.
"Yes." Lincoln simply answered.
"I never thought painting could that be longer, like painting your fingernails."
"It's because the nails are smaller than a wooden giraffe, how could you expect to finish this in just 20 minutes?" Lincoln counters. "Dang it, if we could just lift up some crops right now, we could finish that easily and could be first again."
Lori just sighed and didn't respond.
In the middle of their driving, The Scientists are still trying to find the next location.
"How long we were here?" Susan asked.
"Maybe an hour?" Mary answered.
"Shoot. I don't know if we could find some guides or something, it's kinda dead here."
"The worst part of the road trip? Is that you're lost and you're in the middle of nowhere; no people, just the damn road." Susan said in their confessional.
"Oh my god." Susan started to get frustrated.
The screen starts to get slow and fades away into a black screen, meaning that it goes for a commercial break!
Back at The Sisters who were still driving on the road, where they are still stuck in the middle of nowhere, until...
"Look, there's the place!" Mary saw the route marker on the side of a closed gate.
"Ah, good riddance!" Susan felt relieved.
"Looks like we're going in the right way, it's just felt not normal to cross an isolated road. But lucky, we're here!" Susan said in the confessional.
They parked the car and entered the gate where they pick up their next clue.
Susan & Mary – currently in 3rd Place
"Detour. Co-op or Crop?" Both are reading the question.
"Let's try Co-op?" Mary suggested.
"Yeah, that would work." Susan agrees.
"Come on, let's go back to the jeep."
They go back to their jeep and left the place.
Finally, The Wrestlers arrived at the farm where they saw hundreds of potatoes, just grew.
"Whoa! This feels just incredible!" Luke said.
"What are we waiting for? Let's grab the baskets!" Karl wasted no time as they grabbed their baskets and started walking to grab some potatoes.
"I felt like I'm a kid again, grabbing crops is surely nostalgic for me! I'm kinda missing to see the crops, lying there in peace." Luke said in the confessional.
Back at the bridge, Marceline arrived and saw Irma there.
"Whoa, you're here already?" Irma noticed.
"Well, yeah." Marceline nodded. "Oh, I think that's your partner right there." She pointed a finger.
Irma turns her back to see Mr. Bean who was walking weirdly and still shaking from the challenge. Both women chuckled as Irma walks closer to Mr. Bean, which she hugged him.
Mr. Bean & Irma – currently in 7th Place
"Way to go, mister!" Irma tries to cheer up her boyfriend. "Come on, let's get out of here!"
"Hey!" Marceline called them as the couple turns back. "Did you see Simon?"
Both of them shook their heads as Marceline understood it.
"Alright, thanks! See 'ya!" Marceline waved them.
They also waved them back as they started leaving the place.
"Hmm, what a weird couple," Marceline said.
Back at the aerodrome, Bloo is currently running towards to the bridge.
He groaned. "Crud, I wish I volunteered the Roadblock, instead of running from mile to mile."
While Mac is enjoying the sights of the falls.
"It's so fantastic to see the image of the falls! Also, I'm so amazed at the natural sight of the country. Nothing more that this will be the site for animals!" He said in the confessional.
At the lodge, we saw The Workers arrived at the scene where Margaret rips the clue.
Eileen & Margaret – currently in 4th Place
"Detour. Co-op or Crop?" She said.
"Let's take a shot of the co-op one," Eileen suggested.
"Yep, co-op it is," Margaret concluded and they hopped back to the jeep and left the lodge.
In the falls, Simon arrived there as he wears his safety gear and prepares to jump.
"Alright, I'll go... now!" After that, Simon jumped and cried.
"Way to go, Simon!" Marceline cheered Simon, even though he can't hear her. "But I hate water, even if it's not a holy water!"
"I'll confess that flying is my favorite than jumping into that falls, because flying is my usual thing to do, like a thousand years ago," Simon admitted in the confessional.
Simon splashes down to the water.
Back to the co-op, The Siblings are still painting their wood.
"Ugh! This is so bad!" Lori said and growled.
"Lori, just calm down, we're finishing painting though." Lincoln tried to calm her.
"You're right, Linc. We should take the other Detour challenge." Lori admits.
"It's alright, we should continue this, right?"
"Yeah, sorry."
"Sometimes, I left Lincoln down for most of the time, he was right sometimes about something. I guess we never take that back, for the most of it. Lincoln is a good sport and he's literally the 'man of the plan'." Lori said in their confessional.
"Alright, it's done. We should check this first before we polished it." Lincoln suggested.
Lori nodded as they called the woodcarver to check their painting. The woodcarver checked every part of the giraffe.
"It's good. Dry first, before polish." The woodcarver said.
"Alright, thank you," Lori said. "Get a fan and I'll move it to a part where the sun ray is visible."
Lincoln complied as he got a fan, while Lori slowly moved the wood into an exposed part. Lincoln started flailing the fan. While The Scientists arrived at the co-op.
"Thank God, they are still here!" Susan said. "Let's grab one."
They grabbed a wooden carve and put it in a wide area and started painting.
"Of course, paint it first before polishing it," Mary recalled.
Back at the farm, The Wrestlers filled their baskets with potatoes as they go to the site where a farmer was waiting for them.
"Alright, let's see how it weighs," Karl said.
They grabbed their baskets and filled the weighing scale to measure the potatoes. They waited to stabilize the scale.
"Come on, give us good weight," Luke said.
"9.3 pounds. That's good enough." Karl said.
Back at the lodge, The Chipettes arrived at the scene where they grab a clue and opened it.
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in 5th Place
"What do you think we should do?" Brittany said.
"Co-op," Jeanette answered.
"Yep."
"Come on, let's go!"
"One of the Detour tasks has painting on the procedure, so I'm confident that we will take this faster enough," Brittany said in the confessional.
They exited the lodge and hopped on to their jeep and left the building.
Back at the bridge, Simon saw Marceline as the latter walk close to the former.
"Ooh, you're wet." Simon noticed.
"It's better than jumping at the falls," Marceline replied while Simon opened the clue.
Marceline & Simon – currently in 8th Place
"Alright, make your way to Shoestrings Backpackers Lodge..." He panted. "Come on, let's get out of here!"
They started to run and left the place.
While at the falls, Mac prepares himself for the greatest fall of his life.
"Okay, I just wanna say that... I don't wanna die after this." He hoped and jumped. "Woo!"
At the exact time, Bloo arrived at the bridge, where he saw his best friend falling down.
"Oh... My... God!"
Another team has arrived at the lodge where they picked up their next clue.
Alvin & Simon – currently in 6th Place
"Crop. Let's go with the Crop." Alvin recommends.
"Of course, I would go for that too." Simon agrees. "Now come on, we don't have much time!"
They hopped on to their jeep and left the lodge.
While at the co-op, The Siblings thinks that they finished drying the giraffe as they moved on to the next step.
"Okay, polishing time!" Lori called.
They started polishing their newly painted giraffe with the use of the toothbrush. While The Scientists are on the first step.
"Wow, this sure is really challenging," Mary confessed.
"Well, we don't have a choice but to finish this up!" Susan said.
Suddenly, another team arrived at the co-op.
"Ah, painting..." Margaret said in the confessional. "I remember that Mordecai told me that he was a bad painter. Then, he suddenly turned into a great artist!"
The Workers grabbed a wooden giraffe and put them in an empty area.
"Okay, now let's get this over with," Margaret said with confidence.
They both hummed and nodded in agreement.
Back at the farm, The Wrestlers are almost finished filling up their baskets for the second time.
"Alright, let's get it extreme, mate!" Luke said.
"You said it, mate." Karl carried on until he grabbed the last potato at their lane.
"Alright, let's go back!"
They carried their baskets and are now making their way to the sitting farmer.
"The most try we got, the heavier it gets! That's the key to quicken this Detour task." Luke said.
"Come on, man! I think I should give myself a break." Karl said and dropped his basket.
"Nah, just lift it up quickly. Then run like a coyote!" Luke replied.
"Damn it." Karl carries the basket again.
They met the farmer again to drop their potatoes at the big weighing scale to calculate it.
"Please, be big!" Karl wished.
"Oh, 12.1 pounds." Luke looked at the result.
"21.4 pounds. You need 13.6 pounds more." The farmer told them.
"Sure thing." Luke grinned. "Karl, let's get heavy!"
Karl sighed as they go back to the field with their baskets.
Back to the bridge, Bloo saw Mac arriving at the bridge as Bloo makes his way to his buddy.
Bloo & Mac – currently in Last Place
"Alright, let's be quick!" Bloo said as they left the bridge.
While at the co-op, The Siblings are still polishing their giraffe.
"I think the head is polished well," Lincoln concluded.
"Come on, Lincoln. No time to waste." Lori wiped her sweat, while Lincoln looked at the head of the animal.
While The Workers checked their recently painted giraffe to the woodcarver, he checked it for a few seconds.
"You need to paint more." The woodcarver told them.
"Okay, thanks." Eileen thanked the man.
"Seriously? I thought it was good." Margaret said.
"I think it needs to be a dark gold or something."
"I'm not sure because of look at the siblings over there."
Margaret pointed to The Siblings' work as Eileen saw it, she nodded and continued painting. While The Scientists are still painting the giraffe too.
"Okay, this is done, I assumed," Mary predicted.
"Check please," Susan called the carver.
The woodcarver checked their work and gave it a thumbs up.
"Woo!" Both girls said.
"You need to dry first before polishing it." The woodcarver reminded them.
"Okay," Mary said. "Let's go to that sun-exposed area." She pointed to an empty area.
They carried their work slowly and dropped it down slowly.
"Okay, toothbrushes." Susan grabbed the said thing and gave one to her sister and started drying.
At the lodge, another team showed up there and grabbed a clue from the clue box.
Marceline & Simon – currently in 7th Place
"Detour. Co-op or Crop?" Simon reads the clue.
"Crop. That should be good." Marceline assumed.
"Sure, sure."
They lift the lodge with their jeep.
While at the farm, The Wrestlers are still picking up some potatoes, while The Chipmunks arrived in the scene as they grabbed their baskets and walked over to a field lane.
"Come on, we can outlast them!" Alvin tried to be the captain of this task. "I got tricks to this."
"Okay, just do it, Alvin," Simon said while picking up some potatoes.
The Wrestlers noticed something about Alvin on to their other side.
"I've seen that kind of maneuver, holy cow! Alvin just as fast as a fox! He grabs one then shoots into the basket." Luke said in their confessional.
"Also, Alvin never missed a shot, even the farthest of the distance of the basket and him! While Simon is just picking up, the usual way." Karl added.
"And that's the time where we started to pick one faster!"
"Come on, let's get to the weigh-in!" Luke commanded as he carried his basket, while Karl followed suit.
While Alvin carried the basket with ease and started to make his way to the farmer.
"Okay, let's get these babies out," Luke said while dropping his potatoes from his basket.
Karl came next, while Alvin arrived also at the site.
"Come on, please be it! Please be it!" Karl hoped.
"11.1 pounds. You need 2.5 pounds." The farmer announced and wrote it in his notebook.
While Alvin dropped his potatoes to the scale.
"6.8 pounds. You need 28.2 pounds." The farmer calculated.
"Alright, thank you." Alvin runs back to the field, while Simon was still picking up some potatoes.
"Come on, man! This should be light." Karl said.
"I'm trying!" Luke replied.
While Alvin continues to grab and shoot potatoes into the basket.
"It's not called basketball, without a ball." Alvin joked while he shoots a potato on the basket.
In the co-op, The Chipettes arrived at the scene where they grab one wooden giraffe and started painting it. While The Siblings takes a break first to drink some water.
"Woo! That's one shiny giraffe, isn't it?" Lincoln asked.
"Yeah, except for his feet though," Lori answered and takes another sip of the water.
"Okay, let's get back to work." Lincoln wipes his sweat with his towel.
"Sure."
"We took a break because we're so dehydrated. I mean it's for the good cause because you might get collapsed from out of nowhere." Lori said in the confessional.
They continued polishing the giraffe's bottom part. While Margaret takes a break from painting.
"Margaret, why did you stop?" Eileen asked her.
"I'm just taking a break," Margaret responded.
"Really? You look awful right now." Eileen looked at her partner's face.
Margaret groaned.
"This challenge is so frustrating that I think I should take the penalty," Margaret said in the confessional.
"This is will go down forever." Margaret covered her face as a sign of frustration as we go for a commercial break!
Still, at the co-op, Margaret stopped working for a while to recompose herself.
"Margaret, you're not okay. You need some water?" Eileen asked her again.
"Yeah, I guess," Margaret answered as she grabbed the water bottle.
Eileen took one too as they emptied their water. "Better now?"
"Yeah, I think so." Margaret smiled at Eileen, while Eileen smiled back.
"There's one thing that you can do to comfort your friend at this part... by drinking refreshments, to feel relieved after a hot work," Eileen said in the confessional.
They carried on and are back to painting.
Another team has arrived at the lodge, where they grabbed the clue.
Mr. Bean & Irma – currently in 8th Place
"Crop?" Irma asked.
"Crop." Mr. Bean replied.
"Okay."
They headed back to their jeep and left the lodge.
Back at the farm, Luke carried the basket, while Karl took a break and drink some water.
"Wow! What a day it was! But still, we managed to finish it first. Luke took charge of the final batch" Karl said to the viewers.
Luke dropped them to the scale and waited for the result.
"Alright, let's see what we got there..."
"4.2 pounds. Congratulations!" The farmer gave the clue to Luke.
"Yes! We're done, Karl!" Luke called his buddy as Karl makes his way to Luke.
Luke & Karl – currently in 1st Place
"Make your way to the next Pit Stop..." Karl reads the info.
"I'm standing here at their next Pit Stop... The Flock's Headquarters!" Phil was standing behind a map. "It was built, 10 years ago and this is the place where they will find different animals, especially The Big 5 of Africa, where they are currently taking care of by these brave men." Phil showed the men who are taking care of different animals. "The last team to check in here may be eliminated."
"Okay, come on!" Luke commanded as they left the farm in their jeep.
While The Adventurers arrived at the farm and saw The Wrestlers leaving the place, and saw The Chipmunks carrying their baskets into the farmer.
"This looks nice," Marceline admitted.
They grabbed their baskets and started picking crops. While The Chipmunks dropped their potatoes in the scale.
"17.2 pounds. You need 11 pounds." The farmer wrote it in the notebook.
"What the?" Alvin was surprised at this.
"See, Alvin. I told you to just do your trick. That's the strategy." Simon winked and came back to the field.
"Weird."
Back at the lodge, The Imaginary Friends arrived at the place where they grabbed the last clue.
Bloo & Mac – currently in Last Place
"Co-op or Crop?" Mac asked.
"Crop! We don't have much more time!" Bloo replied.
"Wow! Was that a double meaning?"
"Wow! Don't mind that. Come on!" Bloo said in a sarcastic voice.
They entered their jeep and left the lodge.
We see different shots of different animals. From Tigers to Elephants, from Flamingoes to Ostriches. As Phil was standing in front of the math with a local caretaker who has a tiger between him and Phil. A team arrived there and stomped the mat.
"Welcome to Zimbabwe!" The caretaker greeted them.
"Thank you!" Both of them said.
"Luke and Karl... you are team number... ONE!" Phil raised his finger.
Luke & Karl – 1st Place; arrived at 12:35pm
Both Wrestlers cheered and hi-fived each other.
"As the winners of this leg of the race, both of you won a trip from Travelocity and you're going to... Auckland in New Zealand!" Phil continued.
"Oh yeah!" Karl exclaimed.
"Alright!" Luke exclaimed also.
"You're going to spend two nights at the Waiheke Tropical Hotel at the Waiheke Island, where you can experience swimming with white sands at the beach, a zip line excursion, a visit to their olive groves, and a free tasting of different wines at different vineyards there!"
"Hell yeah!" Luke exclaimed again.
"Are you from Auckland?" Karl asked Phil.
"So close, but I'm in Christchurch," Phil answered. "How do you feel right now?" Phil asks them.
"It's worth it, we're first. And what an excruciating day it was!" Karl summarized their day.
"Yeah, this day's special though. We've been out cold by the falls, then, we're getting hot by the Detour." Luke added.
"I could see it in your faces and congratulations," Phil said.
"Thank you!" Both of them greeted back as they did their signature taunt.
"Team number one... sounds sweet, isn't it?" Karl said in the confessional as they did their signature taunt again.
Back at the farm, we saw The Chipmunks dropped their potatoes to the scale.
"Woo! What a day!" Alvin exclaimed.
"Yeah, kinda felt burnt right now," Simon said and took a sip of his water.
"11.3 pounds. Congratulations!" The farmer gave the clue to Alvin.
Alvin & Simon – currently in 2nd Place
"Woo!" Alvin wipes his sweat as he opens the clue. "Pit Stop! Alright, let's get out of here!"
The Chipmunks ran to their vehicle and left the place. While The Adventurers are still picking up some potatoes.
"Is your basket full, Marceline?" Simon asked.
"Almost, but keep collecting more," Marceline ordered.
The old man continuing grabbing crops and carries on.
In the co-op, The Siblings are almost finished in polishing their work.
"Ah! That's clean as a whistle." Lincoln looked at their work. "Should we try?"
"Yeah, we should," Lori answered.
They called the woodcarver to check their work, he checked every part of it, from bottom to top. After a few seconds, the woodcarver approved it and showed their clue, while The Siblings are cheering themselves.
Lincoln & Lori – currently in 3rd Place
"Thank you!" Lori grabs the clue and opens it. "Pit Stop! The last team to check in may be eliminated! Come on, Lincoln!"
The boy complied and left the co-op. While The Scientists are currently polishing their giraffe, The Workers checked their work, to see if they can polish it. No time to waste, the woodcarver approved it and started to polish it.
"Ah, finally!" Margaret breathed.
At the Pit Stop, The Chipmunks arrived there and the caretaker greeted them.
"Alvin and Simon, you're team number two!" Phil announced their placement.
Alvin & Simon – 2nd Place; arrived at 12:49pm
Both of them hi-fived and screaming "Yes!"
"For some reason, you came back from the bottom to the top, almost."
"We did ourselves a favor, and that's taking us back from the top again! At this leg, I could properly say that Alvin took this leg, like a real challenger!" Simon admitted.
Alvin just flattered at the words of his brother. "Thank you, Si. But it won't be a good run if you didn't use the strategy that you use at the Detour!"
"Of course! I know what you're up to, sometimes."
Alvin just laughed and turned around to see a tiger in front of him. "How cool is this tiger?" Alvin stretches his hand to give a pat to the tiger.
"Uhm, Alvin I don't mind if he could hurt you," Simon said with a concern on his face.
"Don't worry, it's harmless. You could touch him if you want to." Phil answered.
Alvin pats the animal, while Simon touches the tiger's face.
"It's good to be back at the top again! I could see some challenges that might fit for me or Simon's." Alvin said in the confessional.
"If that's the case, we are ready for more!" Simon agrees.
Back at the farm, The Adventurers arrived at the farmer's spot to gather their potatoes that they have collected. Marceline dropped her potatoes; while for Simon, however, the basket had a hole in it, that it made the potatoes falling from the basket to the ground.
"Whoa! What the?" Marceline was surprised.
"I saw that Simon's potatoes fall down to the ground and I'm like, how?" Marceline said in the confessional.
"There's a hole in it," Simon concluded as he turned the basket around and saw a medium-sized hole in it. "Marceline, grab a new basket, while I'm picking up these potatoes." He threw the broken basket away.
"Okay." She went back and grabbed a new basket.
"Ah! Dang, it!" Simon screamed.
The frustration on Simon's face is zoomed in and suddenly it slows down as it went for a fading black screen, indicating for a commercial break!
Back at the farm, Marceline came back to the weighing station and helped Simon to grab the other potatoes that have fallen down. While The Couple arrived on the scene, where they grabbed their baskets and made their way to the field.
"I see that some potatoes that are on the ground, meaning that something went wrong. I think this is our chance to catch up with them." Irma said in the confessional.
At the Pit Stop, The Siblings arrived at the Pit Stop.
"Lincoln and Lori... you're team number three!" Phil announced their placement.
Lincoln & Lori – 3rd Place; arrived at 12:59pm
"Wait, what?" Both of them were surprised.
"Yes. You are the third team to arrive."
"I was basically surprised that we're team number three. I'm fine with two, but three? Who just cut us to the chase?" Lori questioned it in the confessional.
"I don't know, but still, we're on top three right now!" Lincoln said.
At the farm, they told The Adventurers that they need 24.3 pounds to proceed. They go back to the field and carried on.
"Man, what a waste of time!" Simon said.
"Come on, man, cheer up! We're still in it, okay?" Marceline tried to comfort him.
Simon didn't speak nor mutter.
Back at the co-op, The Chipettes used two fans and exposing the wooden giraffe to the sun as a strategy. While The Workers are done polishing the head of the giraffe.
"Okay, Eileen, I'll take the body, you take the feet, got me?" Margaret strategized their task.
"Sure, no worries." Eileen shrugged and carries on.
Back at the farm, The Couple sends their potatoes to the scale for a measure check. While The Adventurers was behind them, carrying their baskets.
"How did they go that fast?" Mr. Bean whispered Irma.
"I don't know." Irma shrugs.
"It's kinda funny that someone is questioning our sudden comeuppance at the line," Simon said in the confessional.
"They are literally weird, in my opinion." Marceline presumed.
"You need 25.1 pounds more." The farmer told them.
"Thank you!" Irma shyly nodded as they go back to the fields.
While The Adventurers came up next to the weighing, The Imaginary Friends arrived at the site and saw the other two teams.
"Oh thank goodness, they're still here! Come on, Mac! We can do this!" Bloo said.
"Alright, let's just grab some baskets," Mac replied.
They grabbed one basket each and started picking up some potato crops.
"You need 10.2 pounds." The farmer said.
The Adventurers goes back to the fields.
At the co-op, all-girl teams are busy taking their wooden giraffes turned into a master craft.
"Maybe we should check it now?" Jeanette asked her sister.
"Yeah. It's kinda hot though." Brittany nodded and wipes her sweat.
"Judge?"
The woodcarver came over them as he checked their work and gave it a thumbs up.
"Polish it now." He said.
"Okay." Jeanette received the approval and started polishing the head.
"That man is so rude." Brittany noticed the woodcarver's accent.
"Nah, just don't mind that and start polishing."
At the farm, The Imaginary Friends arrived at the farmer's spot where they dropped their potatoes into the scale.
"I think I never made my basket, heavy," Bloo told Mac.
"Then, add more to that, next time." Mac shrugged.
"12.3 pounds. You need more 22.7 pounds." The farmer calculated.
"Thanks." Mac received the result.
While The Couple came back for the second time and dropped their collected potatoes, both of them also took a sip of water, while their results are counting in.
"It's so hot!" Irma complained.
"Yeah, and all it needs is a water!" Mr. Bean raised his bottle, making Irma chuckled.
"You need 14.8 pounds." The farmer calculated.
They both nodded and goes back to the fields. While The Adventurers are now making their way to the farmer.
"Hoo! That's one big task, you know that?" Simon questions Marceline.
Marceline sighed. "More like a day too pressured."
They arrived at the farmer, where they dropped all of their collected crops.
"You see that I'm just actually tired of this day, it was totally a jacked up day!" Marceline said in the confessional.
"I can tell," Simon said.
"You have 13.4 pounds. Congratulations!" The farmer told them as they cheered.
"Boo-yah!" Marceline jumped in celebration, while Simon grabbed the clue from the farmer.
Marceline & Simon – currently in 4th Place
"Okay, Pit Stop, please!" Simon rips the clue. "Yes! Make your way to the next pit stop... the last team to check in may be eliminated."
"Alright, that's it!" Marceline said as they fist-bumped with her partner and made their way to their jeep and leave the farm.
Back at the co-op, The Scientists was on the verge of finishing their work.
"Five more strokes and we can check it!" Mary told Susan.
"Yeah, okay." Susan nodded.
After five strokes, they called the carver to check their work. After a few seconds, he approved it and the twins, hi-fived each other.
Susan & Mary – currently in 5th Place
"Thank you!" Susan grabs the clue and opened it. "Make your way to the next pit stop, The Flock's Headquarters!"
"Hey! We know that place and we are going to see it soon! I'm so excited!" Mary was hyped up.
"And we can't just hide it, you know?" Susan laughed. "Come on, let's go!"
They left the place and entered their jeeps to go to the Pit Stop.
At the farm, we see The Couple dropped their potatoes into the scale, while The Imaginary Friends are waiting for them in the back.
"You need 3 pounds." The farmer calculated.
"Ah! One more!" Irma said.
They ran back to pick up more crops, while Bloo and Mac dropped their potatoes into the weighing scale.
"You need more 11.9 pounds." The farmer told them.
"Yes! One more and off we go!" Bloo got excited early.
"You're overhyping yourself, Bloo! Come on, let's go back!" Mac commanded as they ran back to the fields.
While The Couple came back and dropped their presumed last batch of cropped potatoes into the scale, the farmer checks it.
"3.5 pounds. Congratulations!" The farmer showed the clue.
Mr. Bean & Irma – currently in 6th Place
"Alright! Yes!" Mr. Bean grabs the clue and opened it. "Pit Stop..."
"Come on, let's go!" Irma ordered as they hopped into their jeep and move away from the farm.
At the Pit Stop, The Adventurers arrived at the mat.
"Marceline and Simon... you're team number four!" Phil said as they cheered and celebrated it with a hug on each other. "Another team that came back on track."
Marceline & Simon – 4th Place; arrived at 1:33pm
"Yeah, we're so proud of it!" Marceline looked at Simon, which he smiled.
"I couldn't have done this without her." Simon looked back at Marceline.
"Well, sorry to interrupt your moment, but there's another team coming up right here," Phil said.
The Adventurers looked back to see that The Scientists also arrived on the mat.
"Wow! You're early than us!" Susan was surprised, then chuckled.
The twins gave high-fives to Marceline, while Simon, doesn't even bother to join the gesture party.
"Susan and Mary... you're team number five!" Phil announced.
Susan & Mary – 5th Place; arrived at 1:34pm
"Okay, we'll take it." Mary accepted their placement.
"Also, we wanted to see this place for years! And now, we could actually feel the place is so fantastic and awesome!" Susan confessed, while Mary kneels and pats the tiger.
"Well, if you don't mind that these girls wanted to see some animals?" Phil asked the local.
The local nodded.
"Then, it's a yes, you could check them now." Phil welcomed them.
The excited twins ran into the field, while the other team stayed there.
"So, aren't you gonna join them?" Phil asks them.
"Simon?" Marceline looked at him.
"Yeah, fine." Simon sighed in defeat.
"Boop." Marceline tapped Simon's face.
"Hey!"
Marceline ran towards the twins, while Simon followed suit.
"The best things come unexpectedly, we never thought that we could be here! Our dream just came true, we thank The Amazing Race for choosing this as your destination!" Susan said in the confessional.
We see that the two teams played and saw different animals, they had fun, especially the twins. While Simon looked up to see a flamingo and an ostrich between him.
"Well, this looks quite nice." Simon smiled.
At the co-op, The Workers are done with their work. While The Chipettes are still polishing the giraffe.
"Yes! Finally! After some hours." Margaret wiped her sweat.
"Judge?" Eileen called and removed her eyeglasses to wipe them.
The woodcarver checked their work and after a few seconds, he approved it and gave them the clue.
"Thank you so much!" Margaret grabbed their clue.
"Please, be Pit Stop!" Eileen wears her eyeglasses again.
Eileen & Margaret – currently in 7th Place
"Pit Stop! Finally!" Margaret said. "The last team to check in may be eliminated. Alright! Let's go!"
"With pleasure." Eileen winked at her best friend, which made her laughed.
They started running and exited the co-op.
"Hey! Guys!" Brittany stood up to call them. "Stop! Aren't you gonna wait for us?"
"No, sorry guys!" Margaret answered it and raised her hand.
"Those ditchers!" Brittany growled.
"I can't believe those two, left us! They ditch us! They didn't wait for us!" Brittany said in the confessional.
"Brittany, you might wanna catch them up, we're last here!" Jeanette tried to grab Brittany's attention.
"Oh, sorry!" Brittany sheepishly laughed and carried on.
In the middle of the road, The Couple are still finding their next destination.
"Are we there yet?" Irma asked.
"No." Mr. Bean shook his head.
Suddenly, a bomb-like sound was heard that made them stop. Mr. Bean opened the door to reveal that one of the tires went flat.
"Oh, really? Right now?" Mr. Bean groaned.
"What happened?" Irma opened the window to see the problem. "Oh no..."
"When I know that a tire was flat, I know this is gonna be bad," Irma said in the confessional.
"This is gonna take forever!" Mr. Bean groaned as he checked the flat tire.
"Oh..." Irma covered her face.
Then, a vehicle passed them.
"Whoa, is that another team?" Margaret looked back to see the vehicle again.
"Yeah, I think it is. But that should keep us in the race." Eileen said with a confidence.
Back at the farm, The Imaginary Friends are on the farmer's station to weigh the potatoes that they collected.
"12 pounds. Congratulations!" The farmer said.
"Yes! By a point!" Bloo cried.
Bloo & Mac – currently in 8th Place
"Thank you!" Mac grabbed the clue. "Pit Stop... the last team to check in, may be eliminated!"
"Come on!" Bloo said as they left the farm and move away.
At the co-op, The Chipettes are on the verge of finishing their work.
"Almost done!" Jeanette said.
"Wow! We did a great job at this." Brittany gave a look at their work.
"I would actually prefer painting over polishing, it's worst than I could think of," Brittany said in their confessional.
"But we did an almost perfect wooden giraffe!" Jeanette was very proud of herself.
"Judge?" Jeanette called the woodcarver.
The woodcarver checked their work. He looked at every part. After a few seconds, they get a thumbs up from it. The Chipettes hi-fived each other.
"Perfect." The woodcarver said.
"Wow, thank you." Jeanette got flattered at the verdict and grabbed the clue.
Brittany & Jeanette – currently in Last Place
"Pit Stop... the last team to check in, may be eliminated." Brittany reads the info.
"Come on, we don't have time!" Jeanette ordered as they get out of the co-op and made their way into the jeep and left.
Another vehicle had passed The Couple's vehicle, while a silhouette was visible in the back of the former's.
"Hey! That's another team! Yes! We could be still in this race!" Bloo exclaimed.
"Just calm down there, we're on our way." Mac tries to calm Bloo.
At the Pit Stop, a team has arrived.
"Eileen and Margaret... you're team number six!" Phil announced.
Eileen & Margaret – 6th Place; arrived at 2:06pm
"Oh, wow." Eileen basically surprised at the announcement.
"Surprised, eh?"
Both of them hummed and nodded in agreement.
"Wow, is this a tiger?" Eileen rubs the tiger's head.
"Yes. You can touch anything." The caretaker said.
"Oh, wow." Margaret was surprised as she tries to rub his face. "So cute."
Another team has arrived on the pit stop.
"Bloo and Mac... you're team number seven!" Phil announced.
Bloo & Mac – 7th Place; arrived at 2:09pm
"Oh yeah!" Both of them said and hi-fived each other.
While at the side of the road, Mr. Bean just finished pumping up the flat tire. He put a tape into a small hole in the tire.
"That will do it!" Mr. Bean felt relieved.
"Come on! We might be last!" Irma ordered.
"Alright! Alright!" Mr. Bean groaned, then entered the vehicle and move away.
While The Chipettes are now on their way to the Pit Stop.
"You think this way?" Brittany asked.
"Yeah. Turn right." Jeanette looked at the map.
While The Couple saw a route marker in the arrow, they turned left.
"Alright, this is it." Mr. Bean said.
"Come on, come on!" Irma became frustrated.
While The Chipettes saw the marker too.
"There it is. Turning left..." Brittany turned their vehicles left.
The two teams arrived at the site, they parked their vehicles. But they didn't saw each other and started to run.
"Let's go! This is the moment of truth..." Brittany said with confidence.
"Ah! This is it..." Mr. Bean said.
After a few seconds, a team arrived at the Pit Stop, making Phil and the local point at them. They finally stomped on the mat.
"Welcome to Zimbabwe!"
"Thank you!" Both of them said. "Aww! How cute are you?" One of them rubbed the head of the tiger.

"Brittany and Jeanette..." Phil took a long pause and used his eyebrow to toy them.
"What? Just tell us!" Brittany started to get angry.
"You're team number eight. You're still in the race."
Brittany & Jeanette – 8th Place; arrived at 2:32pm
Both of them froze for a moment until they hugged each other and cheered.
"Are you serious, Phil?" Brittany broke the silence.
"Yes, I'm serious." Phil nodded.
They continued hugging until Jeanette broke the embrace and saw some animals behind Phil and the caretaker, she ran to them. While Brittany followed her slowly.
While The Couple arrived at the Pit Stop.
"Mr. Bean and Irma... you're the last team to arrive. I'm sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race."
Mr. Bean & Irma - ELIMINATED
Irma started to sniff and cried, Mr. Bean grabbed her and comforts her.
"Wow... that was tragic. I guess this is the end..." Mr. Bean said.
"N-No! It's not!" Irma said.
"Y-yeah, I could agree to that. We still got us through." Mr. Bean chuckled, also Irma started to chuckle.
"It's tough to take it, but we accept it," Irma said in the confessional. "This race taught me a lot, from not to be a quitter to be yourself."
"I agree, but the thing is, I still got her. We still got each other. And I'm proud of it." Mr. Bean added.
"Awww!" Irma felt flattered at the words of her boyfriend as she kissed his cheeks and chuckled.
We see The Couple leaving the Pit Stop with their luggage.
"What an awesome experience." Mr. Bean cooed from a distance.
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. "Teams continue their adventure here in Africa!"
"This is amazing!" Jeanette felt alive after she saw something awesome.
"While the other teams, will face their demons!"
"No! I can't do this! Stop!" Mac screamed in fear.
"Ahhh!" The younger Simon cried.
"As teams are balancing their concentration to proceed to the next level... here at The Amazing Race!"
A montage of falling objects is shown and the frustrations and groans of the older Simon, Bloo, and Lincoln.
"Dang it!" Lincoln cursed.
