"No jail cell can keep the Dukester locked up, not now, not ever! Hngh!" Duke was standing inside of one of the cells from the prison, grabbing the bars and grunting loudly while he used his rippling muscles to force them apart so he could step through. As he dusted his hands off, he was suddenly handed a piece of paper from one of the prison's guards. "Hm? What's this? Bill for the damages caused to the prison during the show's usage of it…totalling out to seven…thousand!? Uh…t-the Dukester just remembered that he had to be…anywhere else right now!" The host started barreling away from the guard, dropping the bill behind him. "Last time on the Ridukeulous Race: we ended up going on our way from Zimbabwe to Australia, where our remaining teams learned about the boomerangs– sabotage devices that can force a team to repeat a challenge!" As Duke narrated, the clips of Conroy and Mika first finding their boomerang showed, with Mika being upset at Conroy for his plan to use it against the Long Lost Brothers. "After that, it was lockdown for everyone, as each team was tossed into a cell with only one possible way out of them…or, in the case of the Bachelorettes, two, since our Mystical Witches sort of gave them a hand." The next clip to show was of Flora throwing glitter in the guard's eyes, causing him to smash into the door of the Bachelorettes' cell and bust it open for them. "Some teams did well with the time alone, but for most, it only drove them more apart, with Michael turning to violence against Virgil, Evan absolutely refusing to help Logan whatsoever, and Phoebe finally standing up to Jamie Lynn…sort of, not really." The clip of Phoebe saying she didn't like Jamie Lynn played, with her immediately burying her face in a pillow after doing it.

"After escaping the prison, the next task at hand was to build a raft to sail a river to the chill zone, which is when things got interesting. Conroy and Mika had the biggest argument we've seen thus far, over who to use their boomerang on before Mika suddenly ripped their boomerang in two…which caused them to suffer, as Jamie Lynn was easily able to send them back into the prison for a re-run of the first challenge!" Mika and Conroy were shown bounding back into the prison, in the cell that was supposedly worse than all the rest of them. "Oh, we also got Arnold asking Mitsuki for advice on his 'relationship!' Who would've thought anyone would ever go to her for any sort of advice? The Bloody Prom Queens ended up slamming through the river challenge, winning the phone call home, which they used to call their bandmate, Ivy! Pretty cute, if you ask me." The following clip showed Becky and Olive on the phone with Ivy, both of them visibly excited about getting the call. "As we got closer to the end, only two teams remained imprisoned: the Vicious Pop Stars and the Basketball Team! After a romantic reconciliation, Mika and Conroy got a jump start on the next challenge, but the brief truce between Logan and Evan proved to be too much for them to handle, and our basketball dweebs lost…but didn't set sail, as it was a non-elimination! But there can only be so many of those, and who knows what today will be like? This is…THE RIDUKEULOUS RACE!"

Cue Intro

"Crikey! We're at the last leg's chill zone with last leg's winners, the Bloody Prom Queens!" Duke strode over to the chill zone, where the two children were standing and staring at him as he flexed his muscles in front of the cameras to try and make himself look even bigger than he already was. "You all know the drill by now: last leg's winners always get first dibs on the first travel tip of this leg!" Becky very, very slowly reached her hand out to press the button on top of the dukebox while Olive bounced up and down in place, obviously eager to see what the tip was going to reveal to them.

Confessional

"According to Duke, we've passed the halfway point of the race…some teams would see this as an accomplishment, but that's only because they're weakbloods. Pretty much every team here is weakblooded outside of ourselves and Mitsuki and Honey, anyways." Becky was in the middle of pulling her hair into her signature pigtails while Olive sat next to her, scribbling a picture. Out of her own curiosity, she peeked at the paper to see what it was before recoiling with a horrific look on her typically dull face. "W-what are you drawing!?"

"What? I saw Mitsuki and Honey sleeping next to each other, and, um, so Mitsuki, uh, she kept moving her head while she was sleeping to lay it in Honey's lap, yup!" Olive grabbed the picture, holding it up so the world could see that it was a drawing of Honey passed out while Mitsuki had her face buried in between her legs. "I didn't think nothin' was wrong with it."

"I think something is wrong with you in general…" Becky sighed and snatched the picture from Olive, causing her to puff her lower lip out to pout. "Oh no, don't you even start with the pouting!"

Confessional End

"It looks like we're starting off with an all-in…b…" Becky stared at the travel tip in absolute silence while Olive leaned in a bit closer, trying to catch a glimpse of what it said, only for her younger sister to pull it away from her so she couldn't see anything.

"Awwww, Becks, c'mon! Ya gotta show me what the tip says so we can go do our all-in!" Olive tried to reach out to grab the tip, but Becky just slapped her hands away while she glared at Duke, who had a smug look on his face, as he knew exactly what the tip read and why she dreaded it so much.

"...When this race is over, you are going to pay for the havoc you're about to unleash on me with this all-in." Becky grumbled and eventually sighed, going to read off of the rest of the tip. "...'Bunny Bagging.'"

"...DOES THAT MEAN-"


"It does mean indeed, Olive!" Duke somehow had made it away from the two girls, now standing in a farm that was being gnawed at and eaten from by a ludicrous amount of bunnies. "I know, I know, we all think a sight like this is adorable, but that sentiment isn't shared when it comes to the locals! Rabbits down under are seen as a pest problem that has gotten far out of their control, and despite the best efforts of the Aussies, they just can't seem to keep these ravenous rabbits from eating all of their crops and ruining their yards!" The host smirked as he watched some Australian local chasing after a rabbit with a net, only to slip and land in a heap of rabbit dung.

"The challenge is simple and straightforward: each team needs to work together to capture ten bunnies, which they'll have to turn into our poop-covered compatriot right here!" Duke grabbed the local by the back of his shirt, pulling him up off of the ground while pinching his own nose. "Y-yeesh, that reeks a lot worse than I imagined it to…once you finish your capture mission, you'll be rewarded with your next travel tip…unless you happen to get lucky! See, among all of these regular bunnies, there just so happens to be one albino rabbit! Find that one, and you'll get to jump straight ahead to the next challenge, no collection required!"


"Oh, this is going to be so magical, Helena!" Flora cheered as she and the rest of the competitors stood at the entrance of the farm before they all started rushing in like a stampede of bulls. The local had just gotten himself cleaned off finally, but when they came running, he had nowhere to go, and was trampled back into the dirt. Flora and Helena headed straight into the heart of the farm, where they found bunnies aplenty, enough bunnies to easily make a kid have a heart attack from sheer fluffiness. "Okay, we need a good game plan for how we're going to catch all of these bunnies! Do you think they like sparkles and glitter?"

"I…don't know if they'll have any feelings about sparkles and glitter whatsoever, but you can always try to lure them in with that. It might just be easier to run up and catch them by surprise, though." Helena glanced back at Flora, only to see that she was running around the farm, using her wand to deposit glitter in heaps all over the place. She couldn't help but smile as she watched her having her fun. "She's…so perfect."

"Who's so perfect?" Helena leapt up into the air and squealed out of fear, having not heard or seen Zeke coming up behind her. She came back down, heaving while her heart beat faster than it had ever beat before, and took a look at the sneaky man that stood there. He had a rabbit resting in his arms already and a nervous smile on his face. "I didn't expect you to be so jumpy when I came to say hi."

"A-and I didn't expect you to sneak up on me like some sort of assassin in waiting! Y-you scared the lights out of me…oh, I'm so glad Flora didn't see any of that." Helena sighed, slouching forward a bit while Zeke took to petting the rabbit on its head, smiling innocently. "I was just…admiring her. She can be so cute and dorky with her love for magical and mystical things, so…it makes me feel like I'm the luckiest woman in the world."

"Aw…that's really sweet!" Zeke chuckled before pointing over his shoulder, "My brother's busy painting himself with rabbit dung so the bunnies will recognize him as one of their own, thus making it easier for him to earn their trust." Helena grimaced as she peeked behind Zeke, seeing Lyle, completely coated in brown gook while he crawled on all fours towards the bunnies in the farm, only for one of them to bite him on the nose. He let out a shrill shriek before running around helplessly in the field, with Zeke gasping at the sight. "L-Lyle! Don't you worry, bro, I'm coming to help you!"

"M-maybe the poop wasn't such a good idea…" Helena murmured while Zeke burst off to help Lyle.

"Ohhhhhhh Helena! Lookie, lookie! I got one of the bunnies we needed!" Helena glanced over her shoulder as she heard Flora calling her, discovering that the bunny that she had gathered up had glitter all over its body. Well, that, and that Flora herself was also covered in glitter. "I, uh…may have made a big pile and dove into it like a bunch of leaves."

Confessional

"I've always felt like it was easier for me to connect with animals than with humans…not in a weird, nature way like how the brothers do, but something more magical and mystical than that!" Flora had the bunny resting in her lap while Helena was trying to scrub some of the glitter out of its fur, though she hadn't had any really good luck with this task. "Like, I can tell that this little fluff ball would just make for an amazing companion on a quest for the fate of a kingdom or something!"

"I think this bunny doesn't really seem like the type to enjoy a quest…it seems more just angry that it has all this glitter in its fur." The bunny chittered in an angry tune in response to Helena's statement, bringing her to gulp nervously. "...M-maybe one of the other nine bunnies we catch won't be so opposed to glitter."

"No one should be opposed to glitter, glitter is one of the best things ever invented!" Flora tossed up a handful of glitter, which got in the bunny's eyes and caused it to try running away, though Helena held it down so it couldn't.

Confessional End

"H-hey, you dumb animal, get back here!" Mitsuki scrambled after one of the bunnies in the farm while toting a burlap sack behind her. Unfortunately for her, she didn't notice another one of the rabbits sneaking up behind her to suddenly tie her boots together, causing her to trip and fall headfirst into a rabbit hole. She groaned in pain, very slowly opening her eyes to find herself face to face with Honey, who had a headlight on that was shining right in her eyes. "G-gah! What are you doing down here!?"

"Come on, Mitsuki, don't you know how this thing works? To catch the rabbits, you must think and act like the rabbits…so they'll probably crawl into my burrow at some point and we'll be able to catch them super easily!" Honey smirked as Mitsuki groaned once more, only to have her groaning interrupted by a loud shriek bellowing out of her digging partner's lips. "A-a rabbit just bit me on the butt!"

"Lucky rabbit…I-I mean stop goofing around and pull yourself out of the dirt already! Everyone else is gonna be finished with this all in way before us at this rate!" Mitsuki tried to pull her own head out of the burrow, but was stuck pretty good, bent over in a vulnerable position while Lady Belle and Ursula were watching her from above ground.

Confessional

"If I hadn't made it obvious enough already, there ain't no one I can tolerate less than that Mitsuki…she's basically a rabid dog and a horny rabbit mashed up into some weird cross-breed." Lady Belle chuckled as she plopped a large grocery bag into her lap, digging around before retrieving a heap of carrots from it and holding them out towards the camera. "Not like I'm actively gonna go out of my way to handle her…buuuuuuuuuuut inflicting a little bit of damage when I've got the chance certainly won't be any skin off of my bones."

"I just hope that we can find that albino…I didn't dress up this nicely just to have my clothes tarnished by rabbit shit." Ursula recoiled in absolute disgust as she noticed a big smudge of something on her purse. "...I really hope this is mud…"

Confessional End

"Alright…now's the perfect chance…Ursula, be a dear and go drop these carrots all over that pervert, would you?" Lady Belle smiled as she thrust the bag of carrots out towards Ursula, who immediately dropped it onto the ground. The Southerner glared as she picked the bag back up and made another attempt at giving it to her partner, who slapped it away this time. "Now now, Ursula…I've been a pretty valuable asset to this team, I'd say the least that you can do to repay me is go put these carrots on her kiester."

"Nobody says kiester, your age is showing. Though, I can't tell if your dialect or your crow's feet showed it first." Ursula snickered as she started to walk away from her partner, only to be grabbed by the collar of her shirt and pulled back towards her. "Hey, watch it, would you!? I don't want your grubby, backwoods hands touching any part of me, much less any of the clothing that I'm wearing!"

"And I don't want to get closer than five feet away from that mangy mongrel over there, so you are going to have to be the one to go dump the carrots on her!" Lady Belle gritted her teeth as she stared down at Ursula, who stared back up at her just as intensely.

"Do tell, what happens if I refuse? Nothing you can do will strongarm me into running your petty errands for you!" Ursula snapped back before she heard some annoying chittering behind her, which is when she turned to shout. "Can't you see we're in the middle of a conversation here!?" Though, the chittering didn't come from a person, but a rabbit…many rabbits. A double take around the two of them revealed that the carrots were scattered in between them. "...This has got to be the dumbest idea that you have ever had, Lady." Lady Belle didn't even have the chance to respond as the swarm of rabbits dogpiled onto them, trying to get at the carrots while the two women screamed out for help.

"And one…two…heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeave!" Honey grunted as she pulled Mitsuki's hips as hard as she possibly could, just barely managing to pull her out of the hole in the ground. The two of them immediately tumbled backwards, landing in a pile on the ground while Honey started to rub her head. "Wow, you were really stuck in that hole good!" The excavator laughed, stopping when she saw that Mitsuki had a rabbit somehow entirely stuffed into her mouth. She grabbed the sack and held it out to her so she could spit the animal out into it, marking their first catch of the challenge. "One down! And I never expected you to look so cute with your mouth full!"

"A-and I never expected you to be so gay! E-except I did, I expected that the whole time! S-s-so suck on that, hot momma!" Mitsuki wiped some of the fur off of her tongue with her hands before shooting off of the ground to start hunting for the next rabbit while Honey simply smirked and followed after her.

Confessional

"A lot of people out there are into girls like…hm…oh, like me, I guess! You know, they want some chest to slap around or whatever…not me, though! What do I like? That, over there." Honey pointed over her shoulder at Mitsuki, who was diving at another rabbit, only to hit her head on a head of cabbage. "Shrimpy…flat…pale as a ghost…she's just perfect! Getting her to make out with me is sooooooooooooo hard, though! But I haven't given up yet! Mark my words, that dork is gonna be lip to lip with me soon enough!"

Confessional End

"Here, bunny bunny! I'll let you eat some carrot cake if you just get in this bag!" Xavier tried his best to sneak up on a rabbit, but the second it heard him coming, it made a break for it, leaving him all by himself in the middle of the garden. "Oh, come on! How could any rabbit resist the delectable temptation of carrot cake? It's just to die for!" The baker reached into his hoodie and retrieved a freshly baked slice of carrot cake, which he shoved straight into his pie hole without a second thought. Meanwhile, Marty was walking slowly…ever so slowly while staring at the ground, not really paying attention to where he was going…that was until he bumped right into someone with a soft, voluptuous body.

"S-Sadie?" The deadpanner perked up excitedly, only for all the excitement to flee his face when he realized that it wasn't Sadie, but actually Karma. "Oh…nevermind…it's just you, Karma."

"I have to say, dahling, I think that's the most disappointed I've ever seen someone just from looking at me since I last visited my hometown. What's got you all down and out? You look like someone's just planted their heel on your nuggets." Karma giggled, reaching her hand down and scooping up a rabbit without even looking at where she was grabbing.

"Nothing, nothing…I'm just so…you know when you date someone, and then you think about them all the time and you want to spend every waking moment with them and when you don't get the chance to do that you start feeling miserable and like your life has no meaning? Yeah, well, I've been feeling like that a lot lately, since Xavier advised me to not spend so much time focusing on Sadie…I know the game is important and all, but I just want to spend more time with her. You get what I'm feeling, right?" Marty looked at Karma with his saddened eyes, hoping for some understanding.

"Not at all, dahling." Again, his heart shattered into a million pieces at hearing her immediate rejection. "Here's the thing: relationships are great and all, but if you're going to facet every little thing you do over the person you're dating, then where lays your own life? I've never actually dated anyone since I don't want to end up like that…I'm just not ready for it. I would say that, from what you're saying, you might not be ready for romance, either."

"I-I am so ready for romance! I'm so ready for romance that I'm practically drooling lovey dovey nonsense wherever I go!" Marty was quick to defend himself, only proving Karma's point further as she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at him. He paused for a moment and slowly started to blush while glancing down at the ground. "...I maybe see what you mean…but I don't want to give up on it now that I've got it!"

"I never said you'd have to give up on anything, it's just a learning experience, is all." Karma swooped her arm down again, absentmindedly pulling up another rabbit with ease. "You want to spend every waking minute with Sadie, but it's not like she'll be going anywhere anytime soon. If you look away from her, do you just imagine that she's disappeared forever?"

"Well…no, not really…"

"Exactly. Now, I would just adore the opportunity to keep playing love guru for you, but I'm currently trying to take this all-in by storm. Think about what I said though, dahling. Might make you understand more where Xavier is coming from and also make you feel a bit better. Au revoir." Karma took a slight bow before ballerina spinning away from Marty, leaving him to scratch the back of his head in thought.

"Evan, you oaf! You're supposed to be catching all of these rabbits so I don't even have to touch them! What are you doing!?" Marty could hear Logan whining from a distance, and slowly shifted his gaze to see that she was currently standing on top of a tall rock to try and avoid the rabbits, which were all over the place. Meanwhile, Evan was simply stroking his chin while staring off into the distance. "Evan! I'm talking to you! Don't tell me that you've gone deaf! I'm not buying you hearing aids!"

"Sh…I'm trying to focus on something, and I can't do that with you shouting in my ear." Evan reached his long arm up towards Logan, pressing a finger against her lips to effectively shush her, which only caused her to gasp out of pure offendedness. She started to blabber again, going on about how he was disrespecting her, but he just tried to tune her out as he kept an eye on Vanessa, who had fashioned together a stylish looking lasso, which she was using to snatch up rabbit after rabbit. He narrowed his eyes at her before grumbling and walking away from his partner.

"Evan!? Do not walk away when I'm speaking to you! Oh, you are so in for it, now!" Logan was about to jump off of the rock to chase after him, but when she realized that there were even more bunnies around her than there were before, she chose to stay in place. "...Just you wait until we're done with this leg!"

Confessional

"Not really sure why Evan was looking at Vanessa like that…I mean, I noticed some people staring at her before, but mostly because they thought she was hot. This didn't look like one of those stares at all." Marty scratched his chin in thought before shrugging and shaking his head. "Well, not really my business anyways…but Karma was…actually right about all that stuff before. Saying that I need to realize that Sadie isn't just gonna vanish into thin air if I'm not around her. Romance is a lot more complicated than I thought it would've been…"

Confessional End

"Put your back into it…they're rabbits, not metal beams." Jamie Lynn sighed as she watched Phoebe try to lift a rabbit off of the ground. The feeble girl couldn't even manage to budge it an inch, as it just looked annoyed that she was touching it in the first place. The nasty girl sighed again, moving in while cracking her knuckles to get ready to go after the rabbits with her, only for someone to grab her by the arm and yank her away. "This has happened before and I hated it then, what do you want?"

"Relax, would you? I'm just thinking about strategy and such…taking a look at teams that are having an easier time than others." Evan gestured out to the rest of the farm, showing the many teams that were having a hard time catching even one rabbit, while Karma and Vanessa had already gathered up seven of them. Jamie Lynn stared annoyedly before looking back at Evan. "What? Don't look at me like that, how can you not see how this is a bad thing?"

"You're worrying about nothing. Those two will run out of steam eventually, it's not like they've been powerhouses in every leg." Jamie Lynn tried to walk away from the conversation, but Evan pulled her right back in. "You know, if you keep doing that, I'm going to gnaw your arm right off. I'm not some girly girl that'll avoid violence at all costs, if you hadn't noticed yet."

"It's not really about them being powerhouses or anything, it's about how well they work together. Most teams have issues keeping themselves afloat in most of the legs, but those two always seem to bounce back from whatever goes wrong." Evan glared as he noticed Vanessa lassoing in the eighth rabbit for her and Karma. "And with the race being halfway done, I'm sure that they'll probably pick up steam…starting now, from the looks of things."

"Look, Evan, I don't have the time, or the patience to bother going after every little team when I have to focus on making sure my useless partner actually does something. If you want to sabotage those two so badly, you can figure it out yourself." As Jamie Lynn started reaching down to grab a rabbit that was bouncing near her, Vanessa's lasso swung by and whipped her right in the face.

"Oh, shoot! Sorry, sugar! I was trying to snatch up that rabbit!" Vanessa called out to Jamie Lynn before swinging the lasso again, this time actually managing to grab the rabbit with it and pull it in towards her. Evan watched Jamie Lynn with a smirk on his face as her eye started to twitch.

"Alright, forget what I said, we are going to annihilate those bitches."

"I-I got a bunny!" Phoebe cheered as she ran up to Jamie Lynn, showing off the tiny, adorable rabbit in her hands. Her partner and Evan didn't even bother looking at her, causing her to frown and slowly back away from them. "W-well…I guess I can just share my excitement about this with you then, bunny!" She tried to pet the rabbit with her finger, but it immediately chomped down on it, causing her to holler like a screeching banshee before chucking it straight off into the stratosphere.

Confessional

"Fuckin' bitch ass rabbit fuckin' cock suckin' son of a dick." Libby cussed over and over again as she wrapped up her bleeding finger with some of the cloth that she had ripped off of her shirt. "This is bad fuckin' news for me! Every single time we have an altercation with an animal like this, it sends Phoebe into fuckin' flight mode! She isn't gonna come back for another few hours now…which means I have to pretend to be her so that bitch, Jamie Lynn, doesn't suspect nothing! This is going to be a pain in my ass…"

Confessional End

"Rabbito, it is a very simple offer…you get in the bag, and I will reward you and all your rabbit friends with ten thousand dollars each! You can buy a lot of carrots and grass with ten thousand dollars…whaddya say?" Michael grinned as he held his team's sack out towards a rabbit, but the rodent just turned around and kicked some dirt into his face, causing his smile to drop down to a frown. "This is…not going the way that I expected it to. Virgilio, are you having any better luck than I?"

"I would say no," Virgil grumbled back at him, with Michael turning to see that he had been tied to a tree by a group of rabbits. The YouTuber had to put forth his best effort to not just burst out into howling laughter as he ran to his editor's aid, slowly untying each of the ropes that was holding him against the tree. "Aren't you gays all supposed to be sexual deviants? Shouldn't you know how to tie and untie ropes better than this?"

"I'm not even going to glorify that ignorant question with an answer…though I do like hearing that from you instead of some SJW blabber." Michael shook his head, finally managing to untie the last of the ropes and freeing Virgil from his tree prison. "I still can't believe you watched Hannah Richardson videos just for that act…I feel like my brain would've melted into some sort of slime from doing that."

"Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure I definitely have a Hannah-shaped tumor on my brain somewhere after that…it's constantly barking at me to check everyone's pronouns before speaking to them." Virgil grunted and punched himself in the side of the head. "...Hopefully that killed it…nope, still there. Well, from now on, I'm just going to call everyone a guy. …Unless they're actually a guy, then I'm gonna call them a sissy."

"That sounds like a wonderful game plan for you, Virgilio," Michael deadpanned before noticing a herd of rabbits running past them, which he started to chase after. "Come back here, rabbitos! I need to catch you so I can get my travel tip!" Virgil rolled his eyes, turning around to go look for rabbits elsewhere when he suddenly found Lyle backing up right towards him, laying out little treats to coerce the rabbits to follow him.

"Come on, little friends, just come a little closer…that's it…" Lyle took a deep relieved breath as a line of rabbits started to follow his trail. With a smile on his face, he opened his burlap sack and set it on the ground. "That's at least ten of them, this challenge wasn't so hard after all." As the nature lover chuckled to himself, he hadn't noticed the presence of Virgil, who was rubbing his hands together while grinning deviously.

Confessional

"Now, I could spend all day harassing Michael as payback for him hitting me in the face during the last leg, but I think that my time would be better spent making sure that we win." Virgil whistled as he dug around in a mysterious bag, grabbing a line of fire crackers which he dangled in front of the camera. "I know that Lady Belle had planned something like this already, but we all know it really only matters if a man is gonna do it. I'm just gonna give that dirt muncher a little gift to make this leg a lot more memorable for him."

Confessional End

"That's right, keep it coming, right into the sack. There you go…that's a good group of bunnies." Lyle reassured the rabbits while Virgil pulled a match out from his beanie, striking it and using it to light the firecrackers. The nature lover could smell the scent of fire, but didn't know where it was coming from until they were suddenly thrown onto him. "What the–" Before he could fully understand what was happening, the firecrackers started going off, sending sparks flying everywhere. He hollered and ran around in fear, flailing his arms in the air while Virgil snickered so hard that he was almost dry heaving.

"I expected him to at least make it more difficult for me, but I guess the world's finally decided to throw me a bone!" Virgil grabbed Lyle's bag of bunnies, which had eight of them stuffed into it. He opened the top of it and looked down at the rodents with a grin on his face. "Don't worry, unlike every other Chinese person, I'm not just gonna eat the first creature that I've scooped off of the ground! That's right, I'm not afraid to talk shit about my own people!"

"Aye aye aye! Virgilio, open the bag, open the bag!" Virgil looked over his shoulder to see Michael running right towards him with a rabbit currently latched onto his left arm by its teeth. The editor sighed, really wanting to enjoy seeing his teammate suffer, but ultimately, he opened the bag and let the YouTuber shake the rabbit off into it. "Phew, that was…hey, when did you find all of these rabbits!? We almost have enough to complete the all-in!"

"Tch, don't act so surprised that I can actually pull my own weight, gay boy." Virgil grumbled before stomping right off into the garden in search of their tenth and final catch, leaving Michael to sigh to himself. Meanwhile, in the heart of the Garden, Olive was walking around with four rabbits held tightly in her arms. Her eyes had gotten all big and puppy-like as she trailed behind Becky, who wasn't paying any attention to her whatsoever.

"Becks, please! Ya gotta let me keep one of the bunnies, they're so cute that my heart is about to kersplode! Kaplooey!" Olive moved the rabbits down a bit, showing that her heart was beating so hard and fast that it seemed like it was just about to fly right out of her chest. Becky stared for a moment before raising an eyebrow at her. "See? Gonna go ka-boom!"

"I think you just need to stop consuming so much sugar…your arteries are already halfway to being clogged and you're only thirteen." Olive puffed out her lip to pout, just like earlier, getting a groan sent her way from Becky. "You don't want to keep any of these bunnies, anyways. They're wild…and take a look at that." The younger sister pointed out towards Lady Belle and Ursula, who were both still getting mauled by rabbits, like before. "See? They aren't friendly. They'll bite you and then you'll cry about it and then I'll have to cook 'em, just like with the hamster."

"Aw…okay…wait a minute, you cooked my hamster!?" Olive's eyes shot wide open while Becky shrugged and kept moving past some heads of cabbage.

"That stupid rodent bit my sister, so I was teaching it a lesson. It was delicious." Becky licked her lips while the confused Olive didn't even know how to react to this revelation. She opened her mouth a few times to say something, but the words never fully pieced themselves together. As they continued along through the garden, they happened to come across Mika and Conroy, who were currently knelt down on the ground, building some odd sort of contraption. Becky tried to just sneak right by them, but Olive couldn't let that happen, as she waltzed right on up to them.

"Mika, Conroy! What are you two doin'? Buildin' some sort of doohickey? I wanna be part of the doohickey building, let me build the doohickey with you!" Olive thrust her rabbits into the arms of Becky, who sighed and accepted her fate as her sister got down on the ground to join the basketballers. She saw what they were building implemented some pulley system that had their burlap sack affixed to it. "Huh? I don't get it, what is this thing supposed to be?"

"It's a rabbit trap, just a non-lethal rabbit trap. The idea is that we've rubbed the scent of the garden's plants all over the base of the trap, where we have a button. Once a rabbit steps on the button, the bag will come down and scoop it up. Then, the trap resets…we'll get all ten of our rabbits without having to chase after a single one of them." Conroy adjusted his glasses with a small smirk on his face, a smirk that faded away almost immediately when Mika kissed him on the cheek. Becky gagged at the sight, but Olive seemed to think that it was pretty neat.

"My sen–...my Conroy has always been pretty smart with anything that requires a lot of thought to put together, so something like one of these traps is definitely something that favors him well! My idea was just to keep chasing the rabbits so that we would tire them out, but we tried that for a little bit and we ran out of energy first." Mika mumbled with a faint blush on her cheeks. "My…on the spot ideas are not always so clever. But this will definitely help us move on to the rest of the leg!"

"That's so cool! I wish I could think of something cool like that, but I'm not always so smart with the fancy gidgets and gadgets. Last time I tried to make something, it ended up setting our house on fire. Our ma was pretty miffed at me, yup!" As Olive swiped her thumb across her nose, Conroy and Mika exchanged a side glance.

Confessional

"We're at the halfway point of the race, which undoubtedly means that things are going to get a lot harder going forward. We think that it'll benefit us if we're able to form some type of impromptu alliance with one of the other teams." Conroy pulled a chalkboard over, pointing out all thirteen of the teams that were still in the game. Many of them were crossed out entirely, with the exception of two. "We had to think about our options, and as far as teams that we have positive relations with and that we know can pull their own weight…we narrowed it down to Olive and Becky or Karma and Vanessa."

"Since Olive and Becky came our way first, it just saves us the trouble of actually having to go out and ask someone to ally with us! Plus, Becky and Olive are just so darn cute, having them around would hardly be a bother to us!" Mika was bouncing up and down in her seat, which she had designated as Conroy's lap this time around. He was blushing pretty profusely as she kept on bouncing. "And with how much time they spend with Mitsuki and Honey…maybe that'll bring our alliance up to three teams!"

Confessional End

"Say, you two…you know, we're pretty far into the race at this point. Things are going to get a lot tougher at this point…it would probably be good to work together to make sure we all succeed in the coming legs. What do you guys think about an alliance?" Conroy finally finished setting up the trap, which was already at work catching rabbits while Mika and Olive were way too busy watching. He was essentially only speaking with Becky, who was still holding the four rabbits from before.

"An alliance with you two? Sounds like a pain in the ass…" Becky glanced past Conroy to get a good look at the trap at work before she set all four of her bunnies down on the ground. Albeit, they were far too terrified that she would skin them alive if they tried to run, so they just stood still and trembled in fear. "...I suppose we could maybe ally with you…on one condition. With all of your plans, like this one that you have right now, we get to reap the rewards first. So the first ten rabbits you get will be ours, not yours."

"That's…quite the demand. I was thinking that we could just make sure we complete everything at the same time to ensure that we have each other's backs during each part of each leg." Conroy rubbed the back of his neck, uncertain about this deal anymore while Becky just blankly stared at him.

"If you want us to partner with you, those are going to be the terms. Obviously, whatever challenges we excel at, we'll make sure to assist you with as well." Becky glanced over her shoulder, taking a look at some of the other teams that were running around in the garden before turning her attention back to Conroy. "And adding onto these terms, I want you two to help ensure that those old hags stay away from Mitsuki and Honey. I've seen the way they've been looking at them lately and I don't approve. The second that they do anything to those two, our alliance will be over and done."

"This…definitely favors you a lot more than it favors us…but…very well, we'll work together for the time being. It beats not having anyone on our side during this." Conroy held his hand out for Becky to shake it, but she just continued to stare at him and didn't even budge an inch from where she was standing. "...Right, I forgot that you don't like touching people. Or people in general."

Confessional

"It's not the best possible alliance, as it mostly benefits Becky and Olive over us…but it's still an alliance, and I know that they're quite the powerful duo. I'm sure that it'll prove to be worth our while in due time…probably." Conroy chuckled nervously before seeing that Mika was currently feasting on a heap of cotton candy. "Uh…where did you-"

"Olive gave it to me! This alliance is already bringing us some good rewards!" Mika grinned before taking another massive bite of her cotton candy, leaving Conroy to shrug.

Confessional End

"Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaadie? Sadie, where are you hiding? We gotta, like, find all these rabbits so we can get on with the rest of the challenge!" Katie shouted out as she wandered around into the garden, but she couldn't really find any sign of Sadie, and ended up finding Aisling instead. "Oh, magic lady! Have you seen Sadie anywhere? I haven't seen her since the all-in started."

"I haven't seen her…no…sorry…" Aisling murmured back to Katie, who finally noticed that she looked absolutely lost and miserable.

"Yeesh! You look, like…terrible! No offense!" Aisling whimpered ever so slightly as Katie pointed out her current state. "Like, what happened to you? Did Arnold drag you up a flight of stairs again? I remember the first time he did that and I thought you were going to get brain damage! You didn't get brain damage, did you?"

"I didn't get brain damage, no. I'm just…conflicted about things, is all. Trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do with how my teammate has been acting recently." Aisling glanced back out into the garden, finding that Arnold and Sadie were actually searching around the same area as each other. "...And there's your teammate, over where he is."

"Oh! Well…um…maybe you should just talk to him about it? I dunno exactly what's happening or how he's acting, but if it's bothering you, maybe you should just go right to him to handle it, yeah?" Katie giggled before she ran off to go join Sadie, while Arnold started heading over to join Aisling while he had two bunnies in his own hands.

"These rodents aren't making this all-in easy at all…did you consult your orb to figure out how we're going to place in this one?" Arnold inquired Aisling, who was holding her burlap sack out towards him. He dumped the two bunnies off into it, though they put up a fight and tried to escape before finally accepting their fate.

"...Yes, I consulted the crystal ball. It said eighth place. That's really low, though…I can't imagine you're just going to take that laying down." Aisling sighed and pulled the sack back, watching as Arnold's face started shifting to show how upset he was about hearing such a low placement for them.

"...Well, if the orb is saying we'll place eighth, then we'll definitely place eighth. It hasn't had a wrong prediction about us yet, after all." Arnold turned away from Aisling, staring out at all of the "rabbits." In all reality, he was observing the other teams in the field, trying to gauge just how far into the challenge they were.

Confessional

"I felt bad about the seance because I lied about the entire thing, and lying is something that only manipulators have to stoop to. What I won't feel bad about, however, is making sure that we get the placement that the orb says we're going to get. Aisling would say that fate has already decided it, or something like that, so I'm just 'following fate.' As much as I would love to just storm through it and make sure we get a higher placement…" Arnold sighed and slumped forward in his seat a bit. "...I really need to make sure that her confidence fully comes back, especially since I'm the one that destroyed it. She looks better with a smile on her face, anyways." He smirked for a moment before blushing and glaring at the camera. "...Don't misconstrue what I'm saying, here."

Confessional End

"Hmph, that oughtta be the last of these babies, mhm," Vanessa wiped the sweat from her brow as she set down her team's sack full of rabbits, with Karma standing right next to each other. "Did you see where that local went? Been a hot minute since I've seen him around here."

"Not sure, dahling. I was too focused on grabbing the rabbits with you…well, he has to be around here somewhere. Let's just start looking so we can get the next tip." As the gals started to tote their rabbit bag behind them, searching for the Australian local, they suddenly heard a voice calling to them from somewhere beyond the garden.

"Oh, woe is me, woe is me! How will I ever get a date to the prom if I look like a Tasmanian Devil that doesn't know how to dress herself? Surely my life has no meaning when I'm living like this!" The words that this mysterious Australian girl spoke had both Vanessa and Karma instantly looking remorseful, and they glanced behind them once they started to hear sobs coming from where the voice was.

"Nuh uh, honey, that don't sound good at all…that sounds like someone that needs some help boosting her confidence." Vanessa heard the sobbing get louder and louder, which started to bring tears to her own eyes. "Karma, just listen to that girl! She sounds so miserable about herself, we just have to do something about it!"

"I couldn't agree more dahling…but the challenge…" Karma looked back into the garden, finally spotting the local, but at that very moment, the sobbing started to mix with screams of agony and misery. She just couldn't focus and sighed, setting the rabbit sack down on the ground. "Alright, me and you will have to go find this girl and help her out. That's our duty as Glow-Up Gals!"

"You said it, sister!" Vanessa nodded back at Karma, and the two ran out of the garden into some tall fields, searching for where the voice came from while Jamie Lynn and Evan walked out of the fields and back into the garden, both of them whistling nonchalantly. The former had tears running down her cheeks, which she wiped away with a tissue while the latter was clearing his throat and drinking some water to recover his vocal chords after all that screaming.

"Well, that worked out a lot easier than I thought it would…guess all that's left is for me to take their bunny bag and keep going with the leg." Jamie Lynn grinned as she leaned down to grab Karma and Vanessa's bag, but as she grabbed it, Evan did the same. She glanced up at him, annoyed that he was getting in her way. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Well, seeing as how it was my idea to target those two in the first place, it only makes sense that my team should be the one that gets to take all the rewards. I'm sure you and that useless partner of yours will catch up soon enough." Evan chuckled, trying to tug the bag away, only for Jamie Lynn to tug it back. He glared at her, "You can reap the rewards when you come up with a plan to outwit another team, but this is my win, fair and square!"

"You barely did anything other than tell me that we were going to target those bitches, I was the one acting like a crying teenager! Oh, sorry, you also screamed like an idiot, too. I was pretty sure that would convince them that it was all a ruse, with your deep, ogre voice and all." Jamie Lynn grinned as she insulted Evan, who gasped.

"I am a tenor, I'll have you know! My voice can go higher than most women's even when I'm not trying! Now, give me the bag!"

"No!" The two of them grunted, each tugging on the rabbit bag until it suddenly ripped in half, spilling out its contents all over the garden. They watched helplessly as the rabbits ran off in several different directions, leaving them with no rabbits in their possession. "...Great going, Evan! Now neither of us gets to keep the rabbits!"

"Don't you blame this on me, you were the one trying to take what was rightfully mine!" They both butted their heads against each other, grumbling obnoxiously.

"Hey, assholes!" Libby shouted at the two of them, pretty much immediately getting their attention. At that point, she remembered that she was supposed to be playing the Phoebe game, and glanced around nervously. "U-u-uh…I…was calling myself 'assholes!' B-because I'm terrible enough to be more than just o-one asshole…um…s-so…m-maybe instead of fighting over the rabbits that are l-lost already, we should just go c-c-catch more?"

"...Don't butt into my conversations like that, bitch." Jamie Lynn glared at Libby, who pretended to be intimidated, but on the inside was seething with rage. She then glanced back at Evan, jabbing her index finger right into his chest. "Don't think this is over, you! I'm gonna get back at you for costing me what could've been a much easier win!"

Confessional

"That Evan's really proving to be more of a nuisance than a good ally! The only thing he did that made him actually useful was when he helped me get rid of Richard and Andrew!" Jamie Lynn huffed while Libby sat behind her, looking about ready to tear her head right off of her body. "I'm gonna have to ditch him sometime soon, I just have to figure out the perfect way to do it…it'll have to be done in a way that can get rid of him from the competition at the same time. But how, though?"

Confessional End

"Come on, Virgilio, put your back into it! Carry those bunnies like you've never carried a sack of bunnies before!" Virgil gritted his teeth while he continued to drag his team's bunny bag behind him, trying his best to ignore Michael, who was playing cheerleader for their team. They were headed towards the local, who was standing about ten feet away from them, when suddenly, they heard a loud screech come from yonder.

"Stop shoving me, you saggy-titted hag!" Ursula snapped as she and Lady Belle were running towards the local as well. Both of them were covered head to toe in scratches and bite marks from all the rabbits, but more importantly than that, Lady Belle had a bunny in her hands: the albino bunny that Duke had mentioned before. Virgil and Michael gasped at the sight, and started picking up their pace to get a lead, but it was of no use, as the Bachelorettes reached the local first. He took one look at the albino bunny, which looked fearful for its own life while Lady Belle and Ursula both took deep, heavy breaths.

"Well? This is the right bunny to find, right?" Lady Belle could hardly speak between her heaves, but the local gave the two of them a thumbs up and held out their travel tip, which the southern woman gladly snatched. "Yes! It says…'glide asunder from the great down under.' Well that just sounds plain silly."


"But you read it right, Lady MILF!" Duke was standing in front of a bunch of bi-planes, enough for each of the teams to take one. He had a grin on his face as he walked over to one, lifting it up into the air and holding it above his head. "The only thing left for the teams to do in this leg is take one of these glider planes and fly from Australia to the chill zone, near some mountains in…" The scene transitioned, revealing Duke standing on top of the chill zone, which was in an entirely different environment. "New Zealand!"


"So…have you ever flown a plane before? It can't be much harder than when we had to use those jet skis before, right?" Ursula asked Lady Belle as they were smushed up against each other as they sat in their plane, trying to figure out how they were supposed to take off when a trailer hitch hooked up to the front of it. They watched as the driver started zooming ahead, causing both of them to scream out in complete horror. They ended up being launched high into the sky from the momentum, while Michael and Virgil ran up to get into their own plane.

"Come on, we can still catch up to those old skanks!" Virgil snarled, hopping into the plane, though he was visibly disgusted from how close together he and Michael had to sit in its confines. Like before, they were launched high into the sky, with their plane quickly catching up to the Bachelorettes.

"What in tarnation? How come their plane is going faster than ours? They're the same exact kind of plane!" Lady Belle whined as she watched Virgil and Michael coast by them, both of the men blowing raspberries at the women.

"Maybe it's because you're so fat, you're weighing our plane down." Ursula snickered before she was slapped across the face by Lady Belle. "Hey! You watch where you're putting those mitts or I'm going to shove mine right up your-"

"As the Bachelorettes get down to some shady business in their glider, the YouTuber and Editor soar into first place, leaving eleven teams still trying to get rabbits! Some teams aren't doing half bad," as Duke spoke, the view of Zeke and Lyle was shown, with both of them currently pretending to be mother rabbits, leading a bunch of babies behind them. "Some teams are doing amazing!" The next two teams that were seen were Conroy, Mika, Olive, and Becky, all of which were standing and watching as rabbits were tricked one by one into falling for Conroy's trap. "And other teams…weeeeeeeeeeeell…"

"Honey, we've been walking around in this field for the past fifteen minutes…I'm starting to think that that girl might've just gone home at this rate." Vanessa had a whole bunch of fabric ready in her arms as she and Karma were still searching for the non-existent crying girl from earlier. "Maybe we should just get back to the challenge before things get too bad."

"You're probably right, dahling…not much that we can do to help someone that can't be seen." Karma sighed, stuffing a makeup kit back into her pocket, somehow, before the two of them started to make the trek back to the garden. They were pretty far out at this point, and couldn't really see what was ahead of them, when they suddenly came across a full-sized crocodile. They gasped at the sight of the beast, but when it opened its jaw to lunge at them, Vanessa suddenly leapt up into the air and dropped an elbow right down on its skull.

"That's what I'm talking about, baby! No croc's gonna make me its meal today, I'm sooner gonna make it my next handbag!" Vanessa continued to beat down on the crocodile while Karma watched in astonishment. "Aren't you gonna help me show this croc who's boss?"

"I…think I would rather stick to watching. I feel like me joining in on this will just make an already unfair fight more unfair." Vanessa shrugged in response to Karma before she punched the crocodile right in its eyeball, though she had its jaw forced shut with her arm, preventing it from trying to defend itself.

Confessional

"I've never really seen Vanessa get so…aggressive before. It's actually somewhat impressive." Karma stood further out in the field, glancing back to see that Vanessa was still unleashing a major beat down upon that poor crocodile, which looked about lifeless at this point. "Y-yeah, you really show that scaly beast who's boss, just like you said!"

Confessional End

"Finally…your trap worked." Becky mumbled as Conroy stood in awe of his success. But, before he could grab his rabbit back and claim his reward, she snatched it right from under his nose, as she had said she would. "Remember the terms of this alliance…me and Olive always get to go first. I'm sure you two will catch up with us soon enough…maybe…whatever, I don't care."

"Oh, we're leavin' already? Shoot…well, bye Conroy, bye Mika! We'll see you guys later when the leg is all finished!" Olive waved back at the basketballers as her and Becky ran off to go get their tip, leaving Mika to stare up at Conroy in question.

"...I may have let her coerce me a bit too much on how exactly our alliance was going to work. No matter, though. We'll be back up to the right amount of rabbits in no time." Conroy adjusted his glasses, only to look back at his trap and find that it had been broken…and that Sadie was currently laying down on top of the wreckage.

"...S-sorry…I tripped…" Mika and Conroy facepalmed in unison, allowing the BFFFL to bashfully sneak away from them to avoid the consequences of breaking their trap.

Confessional

"I really shouldn't have let Becky talk me into giving her and Olive all that power in the alliance…but if you were in my shoes, you would definitely understand. That girl is horrifying." Conroy shuddered, despite the otherwise lack of emotion that he was putting on display. "Even just talking to her makes me think that I'm going to turn to stone."

"Well, it's not all bad. We still got the four bunnies that she left behind, so that's a good start on our collection!" Mika held up the four bunnies that Olive and Becky had initially caught, smiling optimistically. "We only have to get another six…shouldn't be so hard!"

Confessional End

"Come on, finish line, chill zone, it's right there, Virgilio!" Michael panted as he and Virgil sprinted as fast as they could to the chill zone, where Duke was standing and waiting for them. He looked amused at how fast they were running, and even more amused when they finally reached the zone and flopped down onto the chill zone, both obviously exhausted from how fast they were going at that point.

"Michael, Virgil, congratulations! You two are our first place winners for this leg…but it was pretty close, because…" The YouTuber and Editor started to pick themselves up from the ground, but were immediately stomped back down when Lady Belle and Ursula landed in the chill zone. Michael and Virgil groaned from being stepped on, with the older women only stepping down harder on them. "Bachelorettes, you two are in second place! Not bad…try not to stain the chill zone carpet, though. I have to kinda reuse it in every leg, so having their blood on it would be…you know, not so good."

"White vinegar, dish soap, and water. That'll get blood out of any carpet." Ursula chuckled along with Lady Belle, and the two of them finally stepped off of Michael and Virgil, who weakly crawled away in pain.

"With the two first placing teams for this leg already done and ready to move on with the race, more and more teams are finally starting to finish catching their rabbits!" This time, when Duke narrated, a line of teams was shown in front of the Australian local back at the farm. The head of the line was Marty and Xavier, then Zeke and Lyle, followed by Mitsuki and Honey, with Conroy and Mika coming right after them. At the further end of the line, there was Arnold and Aisling, Flora and Helena, and Katie and Sadie. Some of the teams looked a little worse for wear than others, but all of them got to move onto the next challenge. "With more of the teams getting into their planes, some share some romantic moments!"

"Helena, the view is so pretty! Not as pretty as you, though!" Flora leaned over in the plane, kissing Helena on the cheek while the latter tried her best to focus on flying more than anything else.

"But other teams share some…not as romantic moments!" Duke snickered as the camera panned away from the girlfriends and over to Mitsuki and Honey, with the former flying the plane while her well-endowed partner was leaning her chest against her shoulder.

"...S-s-stop getting so close to me, I can feel your b-boob sweat ruining my shirt." Mitsuki whimpered, with Honey only smirking and leaning closer against her. Meanwhile, back on the ground, Evan and Logan were still hunting for bunnies…which really meant that only Evan was hunting for bunnies, while Logan barked orders at him from her rock.

"That's right, swoop them all up in that sack! Do it faster than that, most of the other teams are already gone!" Logan tried to take a step forward on the rock, only to slip, falling off of it and into the dirt. She groaned as a bunch of rabbits started hopping over to her, sniffing at her. When she noticed them, she screamed, swatting them away with her hands as best as she could. "Get back! Away from me, you ugly rodents!"

"Oh, would you stop complaining, already? Being so far behind is already a pain enough, but having to be far behind while also dealing with you being obnoxious isn't helping to make it any better." Evan rolled his eyes at his cousin, reaching down and plucking each of the bunnies around her up and into the bag. He looked down into it, frowning while Logan pulled herself up from the ground.

"Why do you look all angry? Isn't that enough rabbits for the job?" Logan peeked into the bag, gasping when she saw that there were only nine of them in there at the moment. "Nine!? Evan, come on! Do better than this, go get the last rabbit we need so we can be done with this challenge already!"

"Some help would be appreciated, you know." Evan grumbled back at Logan before heading out into the garden, still searching for the rabbit that would complete their ten rabbit collection. At the same time, Libby and Jamie Lynn were shoving their arms straight down burrows that the rabbits had made, plucking them up like birds to a worm.

"T-t-this is super gross…this mud is m-making my hands feel all sticky." Libby whined, with Jamie Lynn sighing while dropping another rabbit into their sack. "H-how many rabbits do we have right now? W-we have to have almost ten at this point, right?"

"You have eyes, don't you? You can just look in the bag yourself." Libby silently glared while Jamie Lynn accepted the fact that she wasn't actually going to do it, and checked it herself. "One…two…three…four…five. We have five rabbits right now. So we still need another five before we can consider this challenge over with."

"W-w-well, we should probably hurry up and get those five, because look who's finally getting back to the garden…" Libby pointed out towards the fields, garnering Jamie Lynn's attention. The nasty neighbor gasped as Karma and Vaness emerged from the fields, both wearing brand, spanking new pairs of crocodile boots. They started looking around for their rabbit sack, only to find that it had been torn in two.

"Honey, I think we may have been had!" Vanessa picked the bag up off of the ground, retrieving a needle from her dress to stitch it back together while Karma glared at Jamie Lynn, who looked entirely too suspicious at the moment.

"You're actually right for once, Phoebe! Hurry up, grab as many bunnies as you can and fast! We need to hightail it!" Libby nodded back at Jamie Lynn, and the two started to reach into the burrows faster and faster to find the rest of their rabbits.

"Sorry to interrupt you four with this little announcement, but I just thought it might be nice to let you know that we're leaving this party!" Evan chuckled as he held his tenth and final rabbit in hand, forcing it into the burlap sack, which he thrust towards the Australian local. He was so busy laughing, all proud of himself, that Logan had to grab the travel tip…and subsequently start dragging him towards the glider plane.

Confessional

"Oh, this is all Evan's fault, and he's not the one that has to suffer for it! If he never came up to me in the first place, I wouldn't have had to waste my time trying to distract those two girlbosses! Ugh!" Jamie Lynn aggressively punched a wall while Libby just blankly stared at her. She slowly looked back at her, even more annoyed to see how she was obviously judging her. "What!? What's your problem, huh!?"

"W-well…wouldn't it be your fault for listening to Evan? You could've just…ignored him." Libby pointed out the obvious, leaving Jamie Lynn to think about it in silence for a moment before grumbling and crossing her arms. The sharp-tongued girl sighed before whispering, "Don't get all cranky with me before pointing out the obvious, dickass."

"What did you say!?"

"N-nothing!"

Confessional End

"And we've got more and more teams rolling in towards the finish line while two teams are still trying to get the rest of the bunnies that they need for the challenge!" Duke got ready as he watched several teams start running towards the chill zone. "Bloody Prom Queens take third, nice job! Friendly Duo slide into fourth, with the Long Lost Brothers nabbing fifth place right behind them! Race Moms, you two are sixth, so the Basketball Team pulls up in seventh!"

"Come on, Phoebe, move your arms faster than that! They're already starting to use those crazy clothing whips from before to catch up to us!" Jamie Lynn saw Karma and Vanessa were already lassoing in the first few of their rabbits without having to chase after anything, but the first few soon become numbers five, six, seven, and eight. They were really amping up their speed, all the while still glaring at Jamie Lynn, who felt her heart pounding like it was about to burst right out of her chest.

"G-got the last one!" Libby spoke up, shoving the tenth rabbit into their burlap sack, but Jamie Lynn didn't even congratulate her, as she immediately grabbed the sack and started running off towards the local so she could move on. "Hey! Wait for me, you rancid, fucking bitch! I-I mean…wait up, please!"

"Nine and…ten!" Karma secured the final two rabbits that her and Vanessa needed with ease, shoving them right into the burlap sack before nodding to her partner. "Now that we've done part one of this challenge twice…what say we finally move on to part two?"

"You said it, gurl!" Vanessa bobbed her head while she spoke, and the two started to run after Jamie Lynn and Libby towards the local. Meanwhile, Duke was still greeting more of the teams at the chill zone, watching as they all rolled in.

"Psychic and Skeptic, eighth place! That's actually your lowest placement in a while…weird." Duke shrugged while Arnold smirked to himself, leaving Aisling to be confused about why he looked so happy in the first place. Nevertheless, they moved out of the way, allowing the next few teams to roll in. "Mystical Witches, ninth! BFFFLs, tenth! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand…Vicious Pop Stars, eleventh!"

"We really need to start getting better placements…" Logan sighed, trudging forward and leaving Evan with Duke. The two men stood together, watching as the final two planes started descending to land not too far from the chill zone. Jamie Lynn and Libby burst out of one, with Vanessa and Karma popping out of the other, and both of the teams glared at each other…well, Jamie Lynn glared at the two of them and they glared back at her at least. All four of them started hoofing it towards the chill zone in unison.

"That's it…they're all getting pretty close now. Phoebe and Jamie Lynn are in the lead…now Karma and Vanessa are in the lead! Now they're neck and neck! And twelfth place…is…" Duke kept his eyes as peeled as he possibly could as the four got closer and closer, with Evan grinning from ear to ear.

"...The Awkward Neighbors! Karma, Vanessa, I'm sorry ladies, but it looks like this race is just going to have to keep glowing up without you in it!" Karma and Vanessa gasped while Libby looked mildly upset about losing them.

"Yes, that's right, in your faces, bitches! You thought you could sneak the win from me last second, but I sure showed you! Maybe go glow yourselves up with a salad and you'll be able to catch up to me next time!" Jamie Lynn did a little victory dance, with Karma and Vanessa glaring right at her.

Confessional

"...I fuckin' hate people. I hate all sorts of people, doesn't really matter who is who, they all just suck, one way or another. So I shouldn't be upset about losing the Glow-Up Gals here…never even really talked to them that much." Libby shrugged, though she suddenly started looking more and more annoyed by the result. "...But if there is one thing I hate more than people, it's seeing that asswad, Jamie Lynn, being happy. And she was way too happy for my liking when we made it to the chill zone first. Mark my words, I'll put that bitch in her place when the time is right."

Confessional End


"So that's it, is it, dahling? I must say…not the most glamorous note for us to go off on. We probably should've figured that no one in the middle of that field actually needed a glow up." Karma sounded slightly down when she spoke, and the clip of her standing on water back in the Mediterranean was shown, with her beating up a shark right after. "Guess that's what we get for wanting to help everyone in need."

"Nuh uh, honey, ain't no way we should go and blame ourselves for the nastiness of somebody else! We did exactly what we came here to do, and that's gotta count for something!" As usual, Vanessa had a confident swank in her voice, which was echoing over the clip of her and Karma getting offended by Virgil saying slurs back in Brazil. "Besides, it isn't a total loss! We did get these boots out of it!"

"That…is true. We definitely slay in these boots…though maybe a little less violence against crocodiles next time would be nice. …Who am I kidding, that crocodile totally deserved it! He was not acting mahvelous whatsoever!" The next clip that played showcased Karma and Vanessa both having their hearts shatter after they heard that Mika didn't think Conroy looked better with the glow-up they gave him back in Finland.
