The episode starts with Don narrating. "Last time on the race around the states, Taylor was unable to take the hint, that Rock was asking her out on a date." "We then returned to the continental US to head over to Maryland, but due to a broken cylinder on good old 844, it was dark out by the time we got there." "The challenge was a race across the C&O canal trail." "Jay got off to a rough start, courtesy of being shoved to the ground by Chris." "But he just got up and kept going, and when the opportunity presented itself, he knocked Chris into the water, and got his fourth win of the season." "He is still 18 points out of the lead." "Will he make up those 18 points, will someone else take the lead instead, or will Ryan remain as the leader by the end of the day?" "Find out on this episode of, the race around the states."

Intro consists of a shorter version of the final countdown.

After that day's self defense class with Officer Chambers, Taylor went up to Rock to talk to him. "Hey listen, sorry about what happened yesterday" said Taylor. "I'm good for tomorrow night, you can pick the restaurant."

(Room 8- Jay and Chris)

"You didn't need to pull a stunt like that, that was a cheap shot" said Chris. "Shit up before I have Hazel shit on you again" said Jay. "Chris, you are a massive hypocrite" said Officer Chambers. "You are the most cheapest and shallow person I have ever met." Josee then walked into the room with a laptop, and gave Jay a quick peck on the lips. "I've got something funny to show you" said Josee. What she was showing her boyfriend, was a video titled Youtube poop: Bob and Wendy have twins. "Holy crap, Richard wasn't joking when he said he was making a YTP" said Jay.

(Room 6- the daters)

"Okay, this has gone on long enough" said Ryan. "How can I expect people to take me seriously, when my number of wins is lower than one of the adversity twins?" "What are you worried about?" asked Stephanie. "You have him by 18 points." "Were you not paying attention to what happened to Harold?" asked Ryan.

(Room 10- Geoff and Zoey)

Zoey had just turned on the news, and was shocked at what she was seeing. "In the state of New York, who started off as an unlikeable strategist, is now being seen as a hero" said the news reporter. "19 year old Scott Nantz witnessed a man in a mask running out of a Wall-Mart, holding a knife in one hand, and a baby in the other." "Scott then pointed a gun at the kidnapper, and had him back up against a wall." "He told him to carefully put down the child, before he pulled the trigger." "The masked man carefully set down the child, and as Scott was pulling out his phone to call the police, the kidnapper attempted to stab Scott, only to be shot in the shoulder." "The kidnapper would pass out due to blood loss before police arrived on the scene." "We have yet to find out the identity of the kidnapper, or the child and his family, because this incident happened only three hours ago."

(Confession cam- Everyday heroes)

Zoey- "Okay, during revenge of the island, there's no denying it, Scott was a total jerk." "Then in all stars, you could clearly see that over the course of the season, he was acting like a jerk, less and less." "Now, he has totally redeemed himself."

**End confessional**

Everyone got on the bus the next morning. With his sponsorship with Doritos only lasting one challenge, Chet was seen back in his purple shirt. They all eventually got off in front of a log cabin. "Okay, we are in the state of Utah, this state is known for a lot of snowboarding" said Don. "For this challenge, you are going to snowboard from the top of the mountain, to the bottom." "The first contestant to reach the bottom will win the challenge." "And Harold, this time, try not to come in so hot, we don't need you barging in on another elderly couple."

(Confession cam- Look what you've done to our breakfast)

Harold- "Okay, was that really necessary?"

Emma- "I'm still questioning how nobody got hurt when that happened."

**End confessional**

Soon, all of the contestants were in winter gear, and lined up side by side at the top of the mountain. Paul then walked up to Junior. "I know your heading is still throbbing, but try not to throw up after the challenge" said Paul. "Me and Officer Chambers have a bet, he doesn't think you're going to last more than five minutes after the challenge without puking." "You have got to fucking kidding me" said Junior.

The race soon began, and everyone was sliding down the mountain, at incredible speeds. At the rate he was going, Junior's vision was starting to get blurry. He could just barely make out the outline of his father, and a shade of orange. To stop himself from falling off course, he decided to follow those blurred figures. The shade of orange turned out to be coming from Emma's shirt. The three of them were actually ahead of everyone else. Dwayne Senior would end up crossing the line in first, with Emma in second, and Dwayne Junior in third. Leonard would eventually cross the line in fourth, Kitty fifth, Owen sixth, Chet seventh, Sanders eighth, Zoey ninth, Crimson tenth, Laurie eleventh, Taylor twelfth, Ryan thirteenth, Kelly fourteenth, Noah fifteenth, Ennui sixteenth, Jay seventeenth, Tammy eighteenth, Geoff nineteenth, Mary twentieth, Jen twenty first, Miles twenty second, Rock twenty third, Lorenzo twenty fourth, Jacques twenty fifth, Pete twenty sixth, Stephanie twenty seventh, Spud twenty eighth, MacArthur twenty ninth, Ellody thirtieth, Gerry thirty first, Chris thirty second, Tom thirty third, Josee thirty fourth, Harold thirty fifth, and Carrie thirty sixth."

(Confession cam- Everything looks fuzzy)

Ryan- "Nothing has changed, i'm still the point leader."

Harold- "I start the chase in first place." "Three challenges later, i'm all the way back in eighth." "What am I doing wrong?"

Dwayne- "While I am glad that I won, I really hope Junior is okay."

**End confessional**

The podium ceremony was now happening. Junior was on the third place pedestal, Emma was on the second place pedestal, and Dwayne was on the winner's pedestal. "Nicely done Dwayne, you just got yourself a plaid leather couch, from Bob's discount furniture" said Don. Paul then walked up to the podium. "It's been five minutes, I just won 20 bucks" said Paul. Junior began slipping, and his dad quickly caught him. "That wasn't my head, it's icy out here" said Junior. Don then turned to face the camera. "With only seven challenges left, Ryan continues to lead" he said. "Will he be able to keep it for another challenge?" "Find out next time on, the race around the states."

Authors note: With this part of the story taking place in November, I would like to point out that in real life, the state of Utah usually doesn't get snow until a month later.

Every time you watch a YTP, don't be surprised if there is at least one sex joke.

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.
