The episode starts with Don narrating. "Dear God, what happened last time, was nuts." "We had to leave the state of Alaska early, due to a tornado warning." "Once we were back in Canada, we found out that it was a false alarm." "What's more interesting, is that amidst all the false alarm chaos, Duncan badly cut himself on his leg, and fell into a freezing cold pond." "This happened off screen, and another noteworthy thing about what happened, is that this injury is causing Duncan to suffer from memory loss." "Now i'm not accusing anyone of being sadistic, but when Junior expressed how disappointed he was that Duncan didn't die, Harold gave him a hug." "How are those two going to compete, taking into consideration all the crap that just took place?" "Find out on this episode of, the race around the states."

Intro consists of a shorter version of the final countdown.

Everyone was about to get back on the bus, and head back to the U.S. Because all of their belongings were left behind in Alaska during the evacuation process, the contestants were going to get them back when they got to Wisconsin. Once they got moving, they could hear somebody talking on the radio. "After the events that just took place in Alaska, people are having debates as to wether or not Duncan Riffon's injury, was the result of Carson Matthew." "He had already tried to kill another one of his students, Dwayne Santori the second, but was unsuccessful." "It looks as though he's out to kill every one of his students." "Now let's go to the weather."

(Confession cam- Is this the murderer?)

Junior- "Fuck both of them, they both can go to hell."

MacArthur- "There is something going on in my mind, about the incident that just took place." "I'm not going to say what it is on camera, but the thing that I am thinking, is incredibly important."

Rock- "Oh my God, this world has way too much violence."

**End confessional**

They eventually got off the bus in Wisconsin, in front of a weird looking building. Don was about to explain the details of the challenge, but was interrupted by a phone call. "What is it mom?" "I'm in the middle of hosting." "What?" "I am not the pharmacist, I am your son, I don't have any Tylenol." "Oh God, what the hell is wrong with you?" "Well I'm not going to do that, it's illegal, and several people could get hurt." "Yes, I can indeed confirm that there is a schism in his church." "You want me to say what on tv?" "I'm not doing that, it's offensive to jewish people." "This may take awhile, anyone wanna play poker?" asked Tom.

(Confession cam- Did I seriously write this shit down?)

Leonard- "The conversation starts off with medicine, then it switches to something illegal, then ends with something that could be considered sacrilegious." "Nobody has any idea, what the hell is going on."

Spud- "We should be talking about something that's less controversial, like politicians."

Jen- "Did alcohol have anything to do with this?"

**End confessional**

Don eventually hung up. "To all of the people watching this on tv, I do not blame you for being confused" he said. "Let's just continue on, and pretend that this never happened." "No promises" said Jacques.

They stepped inside the building, and they were now in a large hallway. Across the entire right side of the hall, were large blocks of ice, with fossils in them. "Oh God, this is bringing back bad memories" said Dwayne. "That was in the past, I am now over it" said Laurie. "Now that we have that cleared up, I think you all know what you have to do here" said Don. "The first contestant to get a fossil out of the ice, wins the challenge." "Do we get to keep the fossil once we get it out?" asked Chet. "Whatever, it's not worth much, those wooden artifacts are like $300 dollars max" said Don.

Everyone was then given a pickaxe, and they began digging through the ice. "If I didn't know any better, I would say that the producers are running out of ideas for challenges" said Pete. "What makes you think that?" asked Gerry. "I'm beginning to sense a pattern" said Pete. "First it was a snowmobile race, then a dog sled race, and now we're mining through ice." "That is three winter related challenges in a row, can these guys not think of anything else?" "Ever since this season started, I have been given a lot less creative liberty" said Don.

(Confession cam- I got winter on the brain)

Jay- "To be fair, we are in the month of November." "Not that I can actually feel anything."

Dwayne- "These people still put more care into their work than hit entertainment."

Pete- "I swear, these people are starting to get lazy."

**End confessional**

The challenge went on for quite some time, until Crimson finally got her fossil out. Lorenzo was the second contestant to do so, Leonard third, Sanders fourth, Noah fifth, Harold sixth, Kelly seventh, Owen eighth, Kitty ninth, Emma tenth, Chet eleventh, Brody twelfth, Geoff thirteenth, Laurie fourteenth, Ennui fifteenth, Tammy sixteenth, Chris seventeenth, Jen eighteenth, Ryan nineteenth, Mary twentieth, Stephanie twenty first, Miles twenty second, Jacques twenty third, Jay twenty fourth, Pete twenty fifth, MacArthur twenty sixth, Rock twenty seventh, Spud twenty eighth, Ellody twenty ninth, Gerry thirtieth, Josee thirty first, Tom thirty second, Junior thirty third, Carrie thirty fourth, Dwayne thirty fifth, and Taylor thirty sixth."

(Confession cam- Now to let it thaw)

Crimson- "Even though I just proved that I am good at it, I have no intentions of becoming a prospector."

Jacques- "Alas, I am no longer eligible to win this whole thing." "Ever since I won the first challenge of the season, I have just been going downhill."

Owen- "Okay, as it sits right now, i'm currently in the chase by 11 points." "Here's the problem, the guy right behind me is my best friend, and he'd rather go into the chase with six bonus points, as opposed to being a wild card."

Taylor- "Oh my God, I absolutely hate this game." "Because of my last place finish, I just got knocked out of the chase by that smelly fatass." "If I don't make up 16 points, it will only prove how rigged this competition is."

Chet- "Okay, with the amount of points that I have, I have officially clinched a spot in the chase." "I knew it, I knew i'd get in before my brother."

**End confessional**

The podium ceremony was now happening. Leonard was on the third place pedestal, Lorenzo was on the second place pedestal, and Crimson was on the winners pedestal. Crimson was happy about her second win of the season, but she wasn't showing it in the slightest. "Crimson, you have just won yourself a goat kart" said Don. "I've heard of go karts, i've never heard of goat karts" replied Crimson emotionlessly. "It's a kart that you sit in, while a goat pulls you" said Don. "You'll have to find your own goat though, maybe we'll come across a generous farmer in an upcoming state that will let you borrow one." He then turned towards the camera. "We are almost there, only three challenges left in the regular season before the chase." "Who is going to increase their chances at the million?" "Find out on the next episode of, the race around the states."

Authors note: I am going to clarify, that Laurie no longer holds a grudge against Dwayne Senior over the fossil incident. That happened over a year ago, and it wouldn't make sense continue to hold a grudge against him, when you take into consideration what happened to his son, right after the Ridongculous race ended.

I am not encouraging anyone to have these beliefs. I'm only pointing out that just because you wish death upon someone, it doesn't automatically make you a sadist. It highly depends on what you hate that person for.

As always, if you have an idea for a challenge in an upcoming state or a prize for a future challenge winner, feel free to let me know in a review.

Thank you for reading and please have a great day.
