The episode starts with Don narrating. "Last time on the race around the states, the chase finally began at the famous Hawaiian mountain, Mount Ka,ala." "It was a difficult hike to the top, and Harold's heart just couldn't take it, resulting in a last place finish." "Due to this bad start, Harold went from first place in points, to fourth." "Ryan was there to take the lead away." "MacArthur ended up getting the win, courtesy of a strategy that I don't want to talk about." "We were then greeted by a surprise guest, Annie Santori." "Wife of Dwayne Senior, and Mother of Dwayne Junior." "She showed up to try and convince Junior to quit and go home." "What is Junior planning on doing about with family troubles before we head back to the continental US?" "Find out on this episode of, the race around the states."
Intro consists of a shorter version of the final countdown.
(Room 6- the daters)
"Wow, I didn't think you would take the points lead so easily" said Stephanie. "Still, I feel bad for Harold, he went through hell earlier for nothing" said Ryan.
(Room 12- Harold and Carrie)
Harold walked into the room, and absolutely collapsed on his bed. "Oh Lord, the stuff that I have to put up with for a million dollars" he moaned. "Even if you don't win, at least you'll still get an awesome reward from the queen" said Carrie.
(Room 3- Father and son)
"Dwayne Marcus Santori the second, do you not realize the danger you are putting yourself in?" asked Annie. "Mom, I hate to be the one to say this, but you came all this way here for nothing" said Junior. "I'm not coming home with you." "Annie, i've already tried numerous times with him, he doesn't want to drop out" said Dwayne. "Junior, I would think you would be a lot more careful, considering how this is your second near death experience" said Annie. "Get it through to your head, I am not a child anymore" said Junior. "Well you certainly aren't an adult either" said Annie. Sanders then walked into the room. "Hey uh Junior, I know you're in the middle of something important, but something amazing just came up for both of us" said Sanders. "Mom, dad, this conversation is over" said Junior.
(Confession cam- Family troubles)
Junior- "I am very grateful to have Kendra as a girlfriend, I really needed to get out of there."
**End confessional**
Junior and Sanders then met up with a man in a suit, in the hotel lobby. "Even if neither of you win this whole thing, you can still make millions by representing us" said then man in the suit. He then handed both of them t-shirts, with the Hershey logo on them. "Wait, is this a sponsorship offer?" asked Junior. "Yep, the big man in Pennsylvania thinks you two are the best romantic couple on reality tv" said the man in the suit. "Who's the big man?" asked Junior. "The CEO of Hershey" said Sanders. The man in the suit then put two large contracts in front of them. "So, how would you guys like to represent the company for the rest of the season?" he asked. "Well first, we would like to read the contract in it's entirety" said Sanders.
45 minutes later.
"Well, now we are partners in more than one way" said Sanders. "Kendra, do you mind if I spend the night in your room?" asked Junior. "Let me guess, you want your parents to have the room to themselves, so they can have sex" said Sanders. "Well that's one way you can look at it" said Junior.
(Room 15- the cadets)
Upon walking into the room, Junior could really feel his head throbbing. "Junior, I mean this in the nicest way possible, you look like shit" said MacArthur. "Even if it's for a full 12 hours, it still doesn't feel like I get enough sleep" said Junior. He then got under the covers of Sanders' bed, just as Sanders walked out of the bathroom. Sanders then got under the covers beside him. "Do you always sleep with that teddy bear?" asked Sanders. "Been doing it since I was an infant" said Junior. Sanders then began spooning her boyfriend. "Good night Junior, I love you" said Sanders. "I love you too Kendra" said Junior.
The next morning, everyone was about to get on the cruise ship, to head back to the mainland. Junior and Sanders were now wearing Hershey t-shirts. The man in the suit was nice enough to let Junior keep his double zero on the back. They also noticed that Chet was wearing a Doritos shirt. "My sponsorship isn't lasting as long as yours, i'm only wearing this for one challenge, then i'm getting 700 bucks" said Chet. A UPS truck then drove up, and four men in uniforms were carrying large crates out of the back. "We've got two packages for Dwayne Santori the second" said one of the employees. Junior then opened the crates, and two robots came out. One was red, and one was blue. "Greetings, my name is Lee, and this is Richard" said the blue robot. Richard then said something in Italian. "He says it a pleasure to meet you" said Lee. "Do either of you know what year tennis became a sport?" asked Pete. "You seriously think that just because I am a robot, it automatically makes me a genius?" asked Lee. "You watch too many cartoons." "Where did you guys even come from?" asked Tom. "Our creator grew up on a dirt farm, and stole a shark tooth" said Lee.
(Confession cam- What is Toronto?)
Zoey- "Wow, Scott has a lot of spare time on his hands." "I like the names of the robots, they came from the most iconic family in NASCAR history." "But why did he program one of them to only speak Italian?" "And why is he just giving these robots to Junior?" "My only guess is that the father and son team was his favorite from the Ridongculous race." "Don't know what Junior is going to do with those bots though."
**End confessional**
As everyone was getting on the boat, the man in the suit followed Junior and Sanders. "Well of course I need to come with you, someone needs to make sure there aren't any contract violations" said the suited man. "By the way, you guys can call me Paul." Everyone was soon on the boat, and Annie was standing on the island's edge, speaking to her husband and son. "I want both of you to be extra careful out there" said Annie. "I can't bear to see something bad happen to either of you." The both then began pulling away, and they began waving to each other.
3 hours later
Harold was looking out onto the Horizon, thinking about how the rest of the competition would turn out. "Do I have a seriously have a shot at winning this thing in my current condition?" he thought. "I'm not sick, but i'll never be at 100%." "Hey Harold, we have a proposition for you" said a voice. Harold turned around, and saw the rockers. "We're were wondering if you'd like to start a band with us or not" said Rock. "Absolutely not, that was a part of my life I don't want to relive" said Harold. "This isn't going to be anything like the drama brothers, you'll have a lot more creative liberty with us" said Spud. "Nope, I don't want to be part of another boy band" said Harold. "This isn't a boy band, it's a rock band" said Rock. "Okay, i'll join you guys on one condition" said Harold. "The first song we ever play in concert, is driving angry."
A couple hours later, as the sun was setting, Junior and Sanders were holding hands. "Oh god, it's happening again, this is so terrible" said Junior. He then began clutching his stomach, and started vomiting over the edge of the boat. As they went back indoors, Junior almost fell down the stairs, before Sanders caught him at the last second. "It's alright Junior, I got you, let's take this one slow step at a time" said Sanders. When they got down to the bottom, they saw Zoey asleep on the ground, with Toby resting on top of her head. "Must have been too tired to make it back to bed" said Junior. When they rounded a corner, they saw Miles sitting on the ground crying, with Laurie patting her on the back. Miles then got up and hugged Junior. "If only you realized how much you were pushing yourself" said Miles. "The longer you continue to compete, the worse you are going to feel, physically and emotionally." "For goodness sake, stop doing this to yourself, I don't want you to die."
(Confession cam- I can't go on without you)
Junior- "I understand that Miles is fully in love with me, and would do anything to stop me from getting hurt." "I know what i'm doing is extremely dangerous, But I just don't want to stop after i've come so far."
Miles- "If something were to happen to Junior, I would need decades of therapy." "I care about him more than any other person in the world."
**End confessional**
The camera then switched focus to Don in his office, having an expresso. "Next episode, the chase will resume, as we enter the state of Maryland" he said. "Who will gain positions in points, and who will lose positions?" "Find out on the next episode of, The race around the states."
Authors notes: Richard Petty is not only my favorite driver in NASCAR history, he is also my all time favorite celebrity, period. Long live the king.
Once again, I will point out that I am terrible at writing song lyrics. If any of you want to type lyrics in a review, keep in mind that the song driving angry, is a parody of the song Ridin dirty. Also keep in mind that this is optional, I won't force anybody to do anything.
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.
