Since I did not hear a response, then I will not have any more elimination polls.
Leafpool and Hollyleaf ripped open their clue and looked at the choices for the Detour. "Which one do you want to do"? said Hollyleaf.
"Serving one. Anyhow look here, we cannot do the baking one. It is 2:07 and we would never get the task done on time. It says the place closes at 3", said Leafpool.
"Maybe we will be lucky and someone will misread the clue and waste time", said Hollyleaf.
"One can only hope", said Leafpool. They caught a cab to the cafe.
"Hey no other teams are here yet. We got to assume that the teams on the first flight are done with either task and hopefully we are the first. But Jayfeather, Willowshine and Tigerheart and Dawnpelt were at least 15 minutes behind us", said Leafpool. Leafpool decided to do 2 sets of customers and Hollyleaf one. By the time Leafpool was bringing out the first order, Jayfeather and Willowshine arrived in. About 2 minutes later Tigerheart and Dawnpelt walked in. It looked like they were going to be part of the same demonstration. Leafpool got both of the first pairings correct. Willowshine decided to do two pairings to make it easier for Jayfeather and Dawnpelt decided to do two out of the three pairings.
Leafpool remembered who got the what in the second pairings. Willowshine and Dawnpelt reported their orders to the pass and Dawnpelt got one wrong. She had to go back and get it correct. Willowshine also remembered who got what in the first order. Leafpool got her final pairing correct. She was ready to do the second order. Willowshine got her first pairing right and Dawnpelt got her first pairing right. Willowshine missed the second pairing and so did Dawnpelt. They had to both get the third one right or get a 5 minute penalty.
Jayfeather was stressing out. He already knew he was at a disadvantage due to his disability. Willowshine had disagreed because she thought his hearing was probably heightened due to his blindness. He asked, "How do I know though if they give me the right order or if I am giving the right order to the customers.
"I asked about that. The Maitre D' said that there is a waiter that will tell you if you picked up the right order and let you know which pairing is which once you get them to the table. But you must tell the waiter which one to put down in front of which customer", said Willowshine.
"That is better at least", said Jayfeather. Willowshine rushed up to get her third order and so did Dawnpelt. Leafpool put in the order for the second set of customers but the order was incorrect. She raced back to get the order again. Luckily Willowshine got the third order correct. Dawnpelt got it wrong and got a five minute penalty.
Leafpool got the first pairing of the second group of customers right. Willowshine got the second set of customer's order and brought it up to the pass. Finally when she did that, Dawnpelt was able to take the second set of customer's order. Leafpool got the second pairing of the second customers wrong. Leafpool was trying to keep it cool. She thought back to the third one and tried to remember that one. Willowshine got the first order on the second set of customers right. Then Dawnpelt tried and got hers right too. Leafpool got her third pairing right. Now she could pass it off to Hollyleaf with no penalties. She was so happy.
Willowshine got the second order wrong but Dawnpelt got it right. Hollyleaf took her first order and went back to give it to the pass and she got it right. She breathed a sigh of relief. Willowshine got her third order right and Dawnpelt got hers wrong. But neither qualified for a penalty. Jayfeather was ecstatic. Well as least as much as a cat like Jayfeather could be. Willowshine was indeed right, he did have a helper and the helper did just what his partner said he would do. Hollyleaf brought out her first order but gave it to the wrong customers in her group. She muttered a not so nice clan cat word under her breath. Jayfeather gave in the first order and it was right. Then Jayfeather had help bringing the order to the table. At that time Tigerheart took up the orders to the pass. Hollyleaf got her second order and she gave it to the right people in her group. Jayfeather had gotten his first order right. He actually cheered. Everyone stared and him and Hollyleaf's jaw dropped to the floor.
Tigerheart was confused for a second and got his first order wrong. He growled, "Seriously Jayfeather"!, said Tigerheart.
Dawnpelt just shook her head and said, "Just continue and forget about it".
Hollyleaf got her third order wrong. She was frustrated. She got a 5 minute penalty. "Don't worry", shouted Leafpool. Even with the 5 minute penalty we will be way ahead of the teams. After 5 minutes, they received their clue and went outside. Tigerheart got the second order right and so did Jayfeather. For the third order, Jayfeather got it right but Tigerheart got it wrong.
"Darn", Tigerheart yelled. He was even more upset when he saw Millie out of the corner of his eye picking up a pairing. Millie was furious when they first arrived because their driver got them lost and made them lose precious time, but Blossomfall was able to calm her down.
"Don't sweat it. It's only her first order with the first customers", said Dawnpelt. Jayfeather and Willowshine got their clue and left and 5 minutes later, so did Dawnpelt and Tigerheart. Millie completed all three pairings with the first customers correctly, but with the second set of customers, she got two wrong and got a 5 minute penalty. At that time, Leafstar and Echosong walked in.
Millie and Blossomfall were both upset, but Blossomfall regrouped and said, "They just walked in and didn't even start. I'm going to do my best to do this correctly and get done quickly".
"Good attitude, sweetheart and you had a calming effect on me", said Millie. Blossomfall felt a rush of pride at her mom's words.
Blossomfall indeed got all three done quickly and correctly and they got their clue too. Echosong did two sets of customers and Leafstar did one. They were a little slow but did not get any penalties. And even when they were all done, Nightcloud and Breezepelt did not even arrive. They got their clue and left as well.
It turned out that Nightcloud and Breezepelt just made it to the museum at 4:00. Luckily they were just able to finish around 4:59. They almost didn't because at first Breezepelt though he would have to see the movie again but he got it right. They also did the serving task but got a 5 minute penalty.
Earlier we see Tigerstar and Scourge opening their clue. Find this landmark that was prevalent in a book featuring a character named Esmeralda. "Fox-dung! What does that mean"!?yelled Tigerstar. "I don't read those type of books. I only read villain manuals"! yelled Tigerstar.
"I don't know. I will just ask someone", said Scourge. He asked a man and the man said, "Hunchback of Notre-Dame is the book".
"It must be the Notre Dame Cathedral we are looking for", said Scourge. They found a cab and got the right landmark. They ran out of their cab and hit the mat. Autumnsplash said, "Tigerstar and Scourge, I'm pleased to announce you are team #1. You won a Royal Catribbean Cruise to Bermuda for you and your partner".
"If we don't kill each other first", muttered Scourge.
"What did you say"? said Tigerstar.
"Oh nothing. Just that I cannot wait for the trip", said Scourge.
Squirrelflight and Bramblestar knew the answer to the clue right away. Bramblestar read the book a few months ago. They also still had their cab and were able to get to the pit stop. "Squirrelflight and Bramblestar. You are team number 2", said Autumnsplash.
"Yay", screamed both Squirrelflight and Bramblestar and they hugged each other.
Lionblaze and Crowfeather also had to ask for the answer to the clue but they also had a taxi as well. They figured it out and got to the Notre Dame Cathedral. Autumnsplash said, "You are both team number 3", said Autumnsplash. "Did you ever think you would work this well together"?
"Honestly I did not know what to expect, but it has been great", said Lionblaze.
"Indeed", exclaimed Crowfeather.
Leafpool and Hollyleaf arrived a little later. They knew the landmark but did not have a cab. However Autumnsplash said, "You are team number 4".
Jayfeather and Willowshine wasn't sure of the book either but got some help from their cabbie and found the landmark. Autumnsplash said, "You are team number 5. You are inspirational. You show others that you can face new challenges, no matter what obstacles they may face in life".
Jayfeather smiled (shockingly!) and Willowshine said, "I always knew he could do whatever he set his mind too. He is brilliant". She blushed as she said this. Autumnsplash gave a knowing look to Willowshine. Willowshine was actually happy that Jayfeather could not see that. She was embarassed.
About 15 minutes later Millie and Blossomfall arrived at the pit stop. 'You are team number 6", said Autumnsplash. Millie and Blossomfall hugged. Then about 10 minutes later Tigerheart and Dawnpelt arrived. "You are team number 7", said Autumnsplash.
Leafstar and Echosong were pronounced team number 8. We see Nightcloud and Breezepelt trying to finish the serving task and getting frustrated. Finally they finished and figured out the clue to the pit stop. They finally arrive and it is dark, very very dark! Autumnsplash looks very solemn. She takes a dramatic pause of about 2 minutes and then says, "Sorry but you are the last team to arrive and you have been eliminated from the Amazing Race". Anything you would like to say"?
"Despite this fact that the race has been very frustrating and I did not get to do any shopping here in France. I am glad I did it with my son", said Nightcloud.
"Yes it was a good experience to do the race", said Breezepelt.
