When Bramblestar and Squirrelflight finished the Detour, they received their next clue. It was for a Roadblock. We see Autumnsplash saying to the camera. This is a Roadblock. Each team member must do 6 out of the 12 Roadblocks. In this Roadblock, one team member must perform a traditional Russian dance. They must go to Bip Castle and they will get further instructions there. Squirrelflight decided to do the roadblock instead of Bramblestar, even though it is his turn because she is a better dancer.
A few minutes later Tigerstar and Scourge look at the clue. It is Scourge's turn and he agrees to do the dance. So the two teams took their cabs and made sure the cabbie knew the address for the castle. Then also Leafpool and Hollyleaf look at the clue. It is Leafpool's turn and she also decides to do the task.
About 15 minutes later, Bramblestar and Squirrelflight arrive at the Bip Castle. The cat in charge tells Squirrelflight to change into costume and explains that she will be doing a Barynya dance. Once she is in costume there will be a demonstration. Once she leaves to change into costume, Scourge and Tigerstar arrive and the cat in charge tells them that there will be a demonstration for both teams, so if Squirrelflight is ready before Scourge, she will have to wait. Tigerstar and Bramblestar look at each other awkwardly. Neither say a word to each other and look around for their teammates, willing them to arrive quickly.
So a few minutes later, both teams view the demonstration of the Barynya dance. They noticed it was not intricate choreography and they also had to sing some Russian words too. Then they have an instructor and they both practice. It seems to come easier to Squirrelflight than Scourge. At that time Leafpool and Hollyleaf arrive and Leafpool goes to change in costume.
So Squirrelflight is ready to go do the dance. She does very well and gets good marks. She then receives the clue and they are ready to leave. In another corner, Leafpool is viewing the demonstration and Scourge is ready to perform.
He is having some trouble and actually swears under his breath. It turns out he has to do it again. He goes back to practice and Leafpool is practicing too. She is not having as an easy time as Squirrelflight but a much better time than Scourge. Scourge decides to try to perform again and he did not do well and must try again. Leafpool had some trouble and did not make it on her first try, so she goes back to practice too. Scourge tries the third time and while he did better, he still did not make it. Leafpool went again and did well. She got the clue too. They go aside to look at the clue.
Scourge goes for the fourth time. At that time Reedwhisker and Mallownose walk in. Luckily, they had no trouble with their cab. Scourge completed the dance and he is happy to find out he is able to receive the clue. He cheers loud and Tigerstar and Scourge go aside to view the clue too. Mallownose decided to do the dance and came back out in costume to see the demonstration but at that time Jayfeather and Willowshine walk in and Mallownose is told he has to wait for Willowshine, who is doing the dance.
A few minutes later, they both see the demonstration of the dance. They both go to practice their dance. As Mallownose is ready to perform, Tigerheart and Dawnpelt walk in. Mallownose has some trouble so he has to do it again. Dawnpelt comes out in costume and sees her demonstration. She goes to practice and is doing well. Mallownose performs again and has some trouble again. He is feeling discouraged but his teammate Reedwhisker says some words of support. Dawnpelt performs and she does well and is able to get the clue. Mallownose did better and got the clue. Willowshine was able to get the clue after her 2nd try. Dawnpelt was able to get the clue on the first try. About 10 minutes later Lionblaze and Crowfeather arrive and Lionblaze agrees to do the dance. Lionblaze completes it on the 2nd try. About 20 minutes later Millie and Blossomfall arrive. They were debating on whether or not to use the Express Pass. Blossomfall is convinced this is a non elimination leg but Millie is not. Of course they are arguing again and the Russian cat is looking at them funny. Finally they decide to do the task and Blossomfall is the one doing it. But she is really good and finished it very quickly.
Squirrelflight and Bramblestar find out the Pit Stop is at the Palace Square. Their cabbie seems confused but lets them take the phone and look up directions. They leave and drive over there.
Tigerstar and Scourge talk to their cabbie and use his phone to get directions. Leafpool and Hollyleaf do the same. Luckily their cabbies seem to know where they are going.
About 30 minutes later, Squirrelflight and Bramblestar arrive at Palace Square and see Autumnsplash and race to the mat. Autumnsplash proudly says, "You are team number 1. Congratulations". 10 minutes after that Tigerstar and Scourge arrived and Autumnsplash says, "You are number 2. How does it feel to be in this position"? Tigerstar says, "We should be number 1. And we will. We will find a way to beat that OTHER team". 12 minutes after that, Leafpool and Hollyleaf arrive and are announced as team number 3. 55 minutes later, Reedwhisker and Mallownose arrive and are pronounced team number 4. About 10 minutes later, Tigerheart and Dawnpelt arrive and are team number 5. About 10 minutes after that Jayfeather and Willowshine arrive and they are team number 6. Lionblaze and Crowfeather are announced as team number 7.
When Millie and Blossomfall arrive, Autumnsplash looks very serious as she pronounces them the last team to arrive. But then she smiles and says, "This is a non elimination leg. However in the next leg, you will encounter a speed bump. When you see it, you must complete that task in order to go to the next task. Are you guys surprised"?
Blossomfall says, "No. I told my mother this would be a non elimination leg. I am glad I was right so we could save our Express Pass".
Stay tuned for the next leg of the race, in South Africa.
