Rome is Where the Heart is:

Disclaimer: I don't own Total Drama.

Last time on the Ridonculous Race. Did the teams go to Tokyo Japan. First they had to go fishing and then they had to show who was in control. The Fraternal Twins won and the Cowgirls lost, but it was a no elimination round, so they are still with us. Will any team go home this episode? Find out at the Ridonculous Race!

"Welcome back, the 16 teams are still in Japan, Don said. The Fraternal Twins, Selene and Sebastian were the winners and get to grab a Travel Tip first.

Selene and Sebastian walked up to the Don-Box and grabbed the first Travel Tip.

"We are going to Italy," Sebastian said.

"Tell me we're going to Milan," Selene asked.

"Sorry Selene, we're going to Rome," Sebastian said.

Italy, that's what Morocco was originally supposed to be called, but the country that looks like a boot was ahead of them. Italy is of course known for delicious food and romantic gondolas and gladiator battles that took place a very long time ago.

The first 8 teams are in the plane and are now on their way to Italy, this will take around 15 hours to get there

"Dude this is so awesome, we are going to the land of pizza," Deuce said.

"The pizza paradise," Gus said.

"Okay, there must be a Dice pizza in Italy," Deuce said.

***** Confessional: Fraternal Twins *****

"Do we see the Pizza Delivery Guys as a threat?" Sebastian asked. "No, of course not."

"We beat them yesterday, they had a chance to come in first," Selene said.

"But they didn't, they were probably distracted by something they thought was insanely cool," Sebastian said.

"Plus it looks more like their goal is to find a Dice pizzeria outside of Canada, then they're focused on the money," Selene said.

"We finished fifth yesterday," Mitch said.

"Thanks to you Mitch, I'm very impressed with how you completed the video game challenge yesterday," Tony said.

"Thank you Tony, that's so nice of you to say that," Mitch said.

*****Individual Interview: Tony *****

"Mitch may be a bit of an strange bird, but he's pretty okay," Toney

Meanwhile, the 8 other teams were still at the airport, their flight wasn't due to leave for another half an hour and then have to deal with layovers along the way.

***** Confessional: Geeks *****

"Yesterday was a bit disappointing, at least for us geeks," Cody said.

"I disappointed the geek community yesterday, I failed as a gamer," Harold said.

"It was also a really hard videogame," Cody said.

"I'm not worthy of being a geek," Harold said.

Harold started crying and even the confessional, Cody felt uncomfortable, got up and walked over to the vending machines

"Yes, they have Mega Sour Cherries," Cody cheered.

Cody put the money in the vending machine and took out the candy, Kitty came over to the vending machine.

"Ah, there are no more Mega Sour Cherries," Kitty said with disappointment in her voice.

"Sorry I got the last one," Cody said.

"Lucky you," Kitty said.

"Do you like them too?" Cody asked.

"It's my favorite candy," Kitty said.

"Mine too," Cody said.

"Then enjoy," Kitty said.

The 8 last teams boarded flight number 2 and where heading for Italy in a extra-long flight

After many hours of flying, flight number one arrived in Italy. The 8 teams ran out of the airport to the Don-Box and grabbed a Travel Tip.

"It's All-In," Leshawna read of the Travel Tip.

"Get Your Armor Together," Leshaniqua said.

In this All-In the teams have to go to the Roman Forum, where they have to look for three things, a gladiator helmet, sword and shield. Once they have found all three, they show them the chariot that will take them to the next challenge, note that it is very important that they take all three, or else the next challenge will be quite difficult for them.

Instead of going by cab Forum Roman, each team will get their own car. The first 8 teams left from the airport and were now on their way to the Forum Roman

"Can I?" Douglas began.

"No," Roy said.

"You don't even know what I was going to ask," Douglas said.

"You wanted to ask if you can drive the car," Roy said.

"I can drive fast, you know that," Douglas said.

"I know, that's probably why you were the getaway driver for the bank robbery," Roy said." And that's exactly why you went to jail."

"It took you guys a couple of hours to catch me," Douglas said.

The other 8 teams were still on the plane and were just getting back in the air after their layover.

***** Confessional: Cowgirls *****

"I'm glad it was a non-elimination round yesterday," Bree said.

"We absolutely must not finish last this time, there is a really big chance that one team will be going home today," Laura said.

"And I don't wanted to be us,' Bree said.

"I'm still very sorry Kitty, I'm the reason we're here," Carrie said.

"It's okay, Carrie," Kitty said.

"I promise I'll do better in Italy," Carrie said.

Cody walked up to Kitty and Carrie. "Hey," Cody said.

"Hi," Kitty said.

"I wanted to give you these, I thought we could share them," Cody said as he handed Kitty his Mega Sour Cherries.

"But this is your candy," Kitty said.

"You are probably the only person beside me who loves these candies, I mean I can get a whole stash at home easily," Cody said.

"I know what you mean, but apparently they're very popular in Japan," Kitty said.

"Apparently," Cody said.

Kitty stood up and put her arm around Cody's neck. "Candy buddies, Kitty said, as she snapped a selfie of her and Cody.

Kitty let go of Cody and sat back down, Cody went back to his seat. Kitty began to eat of the candies.

"What are those candies Kitty?" Carrie asked

"These are Mega Sour Cherries," Kitty replied.

"Can I try one?" Carrie asked.

"Sure," Kitty said.

Carrie grabbed one of the candies and put it in her mouth, immediately she got a sour expression on her face and spit the candy out.

"These is very sour," Carrie said.

"Why do you think they're called Mega Sour Cherries, Kitty said. Be glad you didn't eat the Mega Sour Cherries Explosives, those are extremely sour.

"And you really like these?" Carrie asked.

"Yeah, it's my favorite candy of all time," Kitty said.

"I think you and Cody are the only ones eating them," Carrie said. "So sour."

And while flight number 2 was slowly getting ready to land, the first eight teams arrived at the Roman Forum and began the challenge right away.

"Whoa, cool I found a sword," Tony said.

"That's pretty dangerous, so give it to me," Mitch said.

"Look what I found," Kayla said.

"The helmet," Robin said.

"Two more items to go," Kayla said.

"Dude check this out I found this shield," Deuce said.

"So cool, I found this helmet," Gus said.

"That leaves only one more thing to find," Deuce said.

***** Confessional: Cheerleaders *****

"Seriously, those two pizza idiots have already found two items and we have nothing," Emily said.

"One of them thought the Tower of Pisa was made out of pizza," Valeria said.

"Unbelievably, they're the two dumbest people I've ever met and that's saying a lot, I'm not doing very well in school either," Emily said.

"We're two popular and hot cheerleaders, we don't have to do well, just the nerds who do our homework," Valeria said.

All the teams that were all at the at Roman Forum continued the challenge, meanwhile flight number 2 had landed. The 8 teams rushed out of the airport and all grabbed a Travel Tip and then started driving towards the Roman Forum.

***** Confessional: Bandmates *****

"9 may be my lucky number, but I'm not happy that we were finished 9th yesterday," Trent said.

"Especially since we had finished first in Germany, but yesterday's challenges we both weren't very good at," Blake said.

The last 8 teams were now all on their way to the Roman Forum, the 8 other teams there were all still working on the first part of the challenge.

"I found the shield," Emily said.

"Then we have everything," Valeria said.

The Cheerleaders went to the male and showed him everything, he brought them to the chariot and gave them the Travel Tip.

"Does it say what the next challenge is?" Emily asked.

"No, just that this chariot will bring the Coliseum," Valeria said.

"Okay, horses take us to the Coliseum," Emily said.

"And to victory," Valeria said.

The Cheerleaders set off for the Coliseum first, Stepson and Stepfather, Cop and Criminal, Cousins and Fraternal Twins had found all three required items and were now also heading towards the Coliseum. The other 8 teams arrived and got right to work on the challenge.

"This is not looking good for us Freddie," Eldon said.

"I can't find the sword anywhere," Freddie said.

"Okay, we split up, you look in that area and I'll look in that area," Eldon suggested.

"Good idea, Eldon," Freddie said.

"Finn, you already found the sword, good work," Tyler said.

"Isn't this great Bob, the history that happened here," Vera said.

"Vera, if we don't do this challenge really fast, we're history," Bob said.

Vera walked toward Bob, but tripped over something, when she tried to get up she noticed part of a sword sticking out of the ground,

"Look Bob I already found the sword," Vera said.

"Good job Vera," Bob said.

***** Confessional: Boy Scouts *****

"You can't be serious, we've been looking for the sword for hours and now two other teams have already found their swords," Eldon said.

"And those teams arrived later than us," Freddie said.

And while the Boy Scouts are bumming out that they haven't found a sword yet, the Cheerleaders' team arrived at the Coliseum first, Valeria retrieved the Travel Tip from the Don-Box.

"It's a Batch or Watch, It's Time To Duel," Emily read of the Travel Tip.

Specifically, a gladiatorial duel. In this Batch or Watch, the one who didn't play the game has to fight a gladiator battle with Maximus the Gladiator, in this battle you use the helmet, sword and shield that the candidates had to find in the Roman Forum, if they manage to defeat the gladiator and get a thumbs up from the Emperor, they get to proceed to the Chill-Zone. But if they get a thumbs down with they try again. And the more teams get to the Coliseum, the longer you have to wait, because only one team at a time can do the challenge. If you get a thumbs down too often, chances are your team will be going home.

"We have beaten the Gladiators very often in the Cheer Competitions," Valeria said.

"But those are cheerleaders, this is about a real gladiator," Emily said. "So glad I don't have to do this challenge,

"You saying that doesn't help me," Valeria said.

"At least you don't have to fight a lion," Emily said.

Valeria put on the helmet and grabbed the sword and shield and stepped into the arena, where a large man dressed as a gladiator stood and this intimidated Valeria even a little, She looked up and say a man who looked suspiciously like a famous emperor sitting at the top. The emperor struck the bell and the fight could begin.

Valeria raised her sword. "Here we go!" Valeria yelled.

Valeria ran towards the gladiator and hit his shield with her sword and it didn't do much, the gladiator pushed Valeria to the ground with shield. Valeria looked at the emperor who had his thumb down.

Valeria stood up and walked toward Emily. "Dang it," Valeria said.

"Next time you might have better luck," Emily said.

And while the Cheerleaders had to wait until they could fight the gladiator again, more and more teams had finished the first part of the challenge and were also already on their way to the Coliseum. A few more teams were busy with challenge but each of those teams already had two items and thus still had to search for 1 item.

"I found the sword," Freddie said.

"Finally," Eldon said.

"Here is the shield," Gina said.

"Good job honey," Ronald said.

"The helmet has been found," Moon said.

"Let's go," Steve said.

The Boy Scouts, Newlyweds and Supermodels all got into their own chariots and were all now on their way to the Coliseum.

Meanwhile in the Coliseum, the bandmates had just failed to defeat the gladiator and now it was Cody's turn from the Geeks.

"Come on Cody you can do this," Harold said.

"Have you seen how big that gladiator is," Cody said.

"Yes, he looks very big and quite dangerous, but that doesn't mean anything," Harold said.

"But, uh..," Cody began.

"Cody, you managed to knock Duncan out, Duncan, you're much stronger than people think," Harold said.

"You believe that I can do this?" Cody asked.

"We Geeks have to be there for each other," Harold said.

"You're right, I'm going for it," Cody said.

Cody stepped confidently into the area, but as soon as he saw the gladiator, he began to tremble. The bell rang, the gladiator ran toward Cody.

"I'm out of here," Cody said.

Cody began to run and managed to dodge the gladiator's attacks.

"Go for the attack Cody!" Harold said.

The gladiator came running ready to attack with his sword, Cody blocked the attack with his shield. The gladiator threw his shield on the ground and grabbed his sword with both hands, Cody used his shield to stop attacks and a few times he also hit back with his sword.

"Keep going, don't give up," Harold said.

It was now truly a sword fight between Cody and the gladiator. The gladiator ran towards the back and tripped over his own shield, Cody knocked the sword out of the gladiator's hands with his sword and held his sword close to the gladiator's face.

"Did I do it?" Cody asked himself.

Cody looked at the emperor and he gave Cody a thumbs up.

"I did it!" Cody cheered.

"Come Cody we are going to the Chill-Zone," Harold said.

The Geeks left the Coliseum and now it was the Hockey Players' turn.

"Okay, it's my turn," Tyler said.

Tyler put on his helmet and ran into the arena, less than 30 seconds later he returned,

"I Lost," Tyler said.

Now it was the Cheerleaders' turn again. Valeria entered the arena, this time she managed to dodge most of the gladiator's attacks and also give him a few rakish blows and floored him at the last moment, she looked up at the emperor who had his thumb up.

"Oh yeah baby," Valeria said.

"Valeria if we run fast now we can still catch up with the Geeks," Emily said.

The Cheerleaders ran out of the Coliseum and it was now the Supermodels' turn.

"I can't do this," Steve said.

"You have to Steve, it's your turn for the Batch or Watch," Moon said.

"There are two reasons I can't do this, the first is if this helmet goes on my head it will mess up my hair," Steve said.

"And what is the second reason?" Moon asked.

"I can't let anything happen to this face or this body, if I fight that gladiator all this might get damaged," Steve said.

"Hey, hurry up and get in that arena!" Selene yelled.

"Or just take your time," Sebastian said.

***** Confessional: Fraternal Twins *****

"I don't want those Supermodels winning the challenge before us," Sebastian said.

"But ahead of us are two other teams who can do the challenge before us and if they don't lose, we don't stand a chance of winning," Selene said.

"And by we, you mean me, I've to fight that gladiator," Sebastian pointed out.

"We could have been out of here by now if not for every thumb down you've gotten from that emperor," Selene said.

"You know how hard that is to fight," Sebastian said.

"A shrimpy geek managed to do it, in one go," Selene said.

And while most teams got frustrated with the Supermodels refusing to enter the arena, the Geeks arrived at the Chill-Zone,

"Cody and Harold, congratulations on getting first place," Don said.

"Yes," Harold cheered.

***** Confessional: Geeks *****

"I can't believe we won," Cody said.

"I told you could do it, Cody," Harold said.

"Thanks for believing in me, Harold," Cody said.

"Geeks stick together," Harold said.

"Valeria and Emily, you came in second, Don said, as the Cheerleaders stepped on The Carpet of Completion

***** Confessional: Cheerleaders *****

"No!" Emily shouted.

"Losing hurts, but losing to Geeks, no that's just to humiliating," Valeria said.

And while two teams are already in, almost a few more teams are at the Coliseum, most teams had completed the challenge well and were now on their way to the Chill-Zone.

3rd Ridonculous Race Veterans, 4th Fraternal Twins, 5th Cop and Criminal, 6th Teachers, 7th Cousins, 8th Newlyweds, 9th Artists, 10th Cowgirls, 11th Bandmates, 12th Stepson and Stepfather, 13th Boy Scouts,

***** Confessional: Cousins *****

"I have to say, it felt really good when I beat that gladiator," Leshawna said.

***** Confessional: Cop & Criminal *****

"It's so not fair," Douglas said.

"Finishing fifth isn't so bad," Roy said.

"No, I mean the Batch or Watch, I would have loved to fight the gladiator," Douglas said.

"It was my turn to Batch and for you to Watch," Roy said.

***** Confessional: Stepson and Stepfather *****

"This was so cool," Tony said.

"I'm especially glad nothing happened to you, I do not want to be the one the explain that to your mother," Mitch said.

Three teams left to finish, Which of these three teams will finish last and maybe go home? But at least it's not the Pizza Delivery Guys, because they finish 14th, Don said.

So it is now a battle between the Hockey Players and the Supermodels. After many tries both teams had managed to beat the gladiator and now they were running fast as they could to the Chill-Zone, who will be the first to step on The Carpet of Completion.

"Tyler and Finn, you came in 15th, you are still in the race," Don said.

"Yes, we're still sitting at the table," Tyler cheered.

"Steve and Moon, you're the last team to finish, you're cut from the Race," Don said.

***** Farewell Interview: Supermodels *****

"It's a real bummer we're already out of the race," Moon said.

"Maybe it's for the best," Steve said.

"We've lost the chance at 1 million dollar," Moon said.

"I know, but the challenges are probably gonna be tougher and more dangerous for us," Steve said.

"And even with a 1 million dollar wouldn't be enough fix our face, if something happened to them," Moon said.

"One with one less team now, we're left with 15 teams in the race, but where the next challenge take us, find out at the next Ridonculous Race!" Don said.

Winner: Geeks

Eliminated: Supermodels
