## Story

Leg 11 (Based off Leg 11 of The Amazing Race 19)

The race resumes at Matejuška Pier.

Exploit & Hali will depart 1st at 12:50 pm.

**Route Info:** Teams must fly to Panama City, Panama. Upon arrival, teams must make their way to Puerto El Corotu at Chagres National Park and take a boat up the Chagres River to Parara Puru, where they must sign up for one of two times, 7:00 am and 7:20 am, to receive a temporary tattoo the next morning.

**Hali:** "We have a huge lead from all the other teams and there are no assigned flights this leg so we know we need to use this to our advantage.

**Exploit:** "We need to get on a flight that no other team will be able to get on."

Exploit & Hali are on a flight leaving at 2:00 PM and arriving at 10:00 PM.

**Hali:** "There's no way any other team is making it on this flight."

Flight Leaves

**Hali:** "Bye Croatia!"

Swag & Eliov depart 2nd at 2:23 pm.

**Eliov:** "We are shocked there is no mandatory flight for us because it gives Exploit & Hali an advantage because the last 3 finished neck and neck but the two of them are over an hour in front of us so hopefully they did not get on a really good flight.

**Swag:** "Dang it! Our flight does not leave until six."

Nemo & Abe depart 3rd at 2:26 pm.

Asia & Jojo depart Last at 2:28 pm.

**Abe:** "So our flight is leaving at 6 and is expected to arrive at 2:00 AM."

**Jojo:** "I saw the flight and was like nope! We need to get ahead of the other teams."

**Asia:** "I saw a flight leaving at 4:30 and I was like if we can get on standby then maybe we can get ahead."

**Jojo:** "Let's go for it!"

Standby unavailable.

**Jojo:** "Shoot! Now we have to get standby on the other flight."

Flight 2 Leaves.

**Nemo:** "So Asia & Jojo were on standby but did not make it on the flight."

**Swag:** "Wow! They are so far behind."

**Jojo:** "Flight person, anything else?"

**Flight Booker:** "You've got 45 minutes to make the flight. You can take a connection through England and you will arrive at 8:00 AM Tomorrow

**Asia:** "Risks sometimes do not pay off but at least we're finally leaving"

**Flight 1:** Exploit & Hali.

**Flight 2:** Swag & Eliov, Nemo & Abe.

**Flight 3:** Asia & Jojo.

Flight 1 Lands.

**Exploit:** "Taxi, come on!"

**Hali:** "I kinda like that we are alone because it helps us stay more focused on ourselves."

**Exploit:** "Ok, here it is. 7:00 AM."

**Hali:** "The good thing is since we're here early we get more sleep, but in the mean time, let's enjoy the scenery."

Flight 2 Lands.

**Nemo:** "Taxi! Please go fast."

**Eliov:** "Our taxi's behind. Come on right around!"

**Swag:** "Yeah, that's what I like to see."

**Nemo:** "Who gave us this trash? Ugh!"

**Swag:** "Yes! We got 7:00."

**Nemo:** "Ok, so we will leave with Asia & Jojo."

**Abe:** "What if Asia & Jojo never make it here?"

**Swag:** "Where are Exploit & Hali?"

(cf) **Hali:** "We hid because we wanted to sleep, and not be disturbed by those fools."

Exploit & Hali get their clue currently in 1st place

Swag & Eliov get their clue currently in 2nd place

**Route Info:** Teams must figure out that their temporary tattoos point them to the San Francisco Bay Towers, where they would find their next clue.

**Swag:** "Hmm...we've got to figure this out."

**Hali:** "Oh wait, I get it. Let's go there."

**Eliov:** "Hey! let's work together."

(cf) **Swag:** "Working together this late in the race might be questionable, but knowing Nemo & Abe were 20 minutes behind, and the fact that Asia & Jojo never made it, it gives us time to create a lead."

**Hali:** "Ok, roadblock! Who wants to walk on rarefied air"

**Roadblock:** One team member must cross a tightrope between the towers, 35 stories tall and 65 feet across, to pick up their next clue at the other tower, and then make a trip back to the first tower before reuniting with their partner.

Hali is doing the RB

Eliov is doing the RB

**Exploit:** "Where do we go?"

**Swag:** "Let's run here so we get ahead in line."

**Hali:** "Hey! Rude!"

(cf) **Exploit:** "Only one team could do the challenge at a time and Swag & Eliov ran right in front of us after we helped them get here. I do not know what alliance they think we've got but it's done."

**Eliov:** "Oh my gosh! This is so high!"

**Exploit:** "I hope he falls so we are first."

Nemo & Abe get the clue currently in 3rd place.

**Abe:** "Ok, so we've got to find something that sticks out."

**Nemo:** "I think it's right over there."

**Abe:** "Let's run. we're still ahead of Asia & Jojo."

**Eliov:** "Back we go!"

Eliov finishes the RB currently in 1st place

**Route Info:** Teams are given a riddle, leaving teams to figure out that this referred to the statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps at Casco Viejo, where they would find their next clue.

**Swag:** "Let's go find someone with a phone."

**Hali:** "Ugh! Let's do this fast because we should be in first right now."

Abe is doing the RB

**Nemo:** "Ok, we have to wait for them to finish."

**Abe:** "And I don't like heights so this is not great."

**Exploit:** "We helped Swag & Eliov get here they said we can follow your lead and they cut us in line."

(cf) **Nemo:** "This isn’t first grade, like, why would you believe them?"

Hali finishes the RB currently in 2nd place

**Exploit:** "Ok let's find a taxi and see if they know."

**Eliov:** "We think we know this."

Flight 3 Lands.

**Asia:** "We're taking a cab to hopefully get our next clue."

**Jojo:** "We can still make up time."

Abe finishes the RB currently in 3rd place.

**Abe:** "Glad that's over."

**Nemo:** "We think we got the riddle figured out. Let's hope we can pass some teams."

**Swag:** "This is not it. Ugh! Navigation again."

**Eliov:** "Our navigation skills have sucked the whole race we got to get our act together and figure this out."

**Hali:** "We found it!"

**Detour:** Filet or Sole?

**Choice A:** *Filet*
Teams must make their way to El Mercado de Mariscos, where they must deliver fish to different marked stalls throughout the market, each of which only accepted certain kinds of fish, and only up to a certain weight of those fish. Once they have delivered all of their fish, the fishmonger would give them their next clue.

**Choice B:** *Sole*
Teams must make their way to the Salsipuedes Market and find a sandals stall, where they must use one piece of leather each to make the sole and strapping for a pair of sandals for a customer. Once the cobbler has approved their work, they would receive their next clue.

Exploit & Hali are doing Sole.

**Hali:** "We saw all three clues were still in there and I was like amazing! We've got a lead. Let's keep it!"

Asia & Jojo get there riddle clue currently in Last place.

**Jojo:** "Ok, we can do this!"

Nemo & Abe are doing Sole

**Abe:** "We are trying not to get lost since that seems to be the point of this leg so let's not be dumb here. Let's do the challenge where we know where we're going."

**Nemo:** "It does not look too complex; we can do it."

Jojo is doing the RB

**Jojo:** "I am so afraid of heights and I do not want to do the challenge."

**Asia:** "Suck it up! You want to win, right?! Well then do it because I am not going home because your lazy butt is making wrong decisions."

**Jojo:** "Who's idea was it to get on that flight?!"

**Asia:** "Come up with an idea yourself. After everything we have dealt with we can not go home. I would die to win this race and you do not care. Please do it!"

**Jojo:** "If I fall off this tight rope, I hope I fall into candy land."

**Asia:** "That was too difficult."

Swag & Eliov are doing Sole

**Swag:** "We're now in second to last so we've got to hope for the best."

**Nemo:** "So me and Abe are working. Exploit & Hali are here as well and we are doing great. I think we're close to done."

Jojo finishes the RB currently in Last place.

**Asia:** "We've got to go figure this out."

**Jojo:** "I am not giving up. You better believe that!"

**Swag:** "We've just made it to the detour and we're the 3rd team here, which means we got behind."

**Hali:** "Ok, let's go for it."

**Judge:** "This is overdone."

**Exploit:** "This is no joke."

**Abe:** "Ugh! I just relooked at what they did. We did the same thing! We've got to fix that."

Asia & Jojo are doing Sole

**Jojo:** "We got the riddle immediately and we may have been an hour behind but we can do this."

**Hali:** "Ok let's do it again!"

**Judge:** "Good!"

Exploit & Hali finish detour currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must make their way to Cathedral Square, where they would find a group of *tamborito* dancers wearing *pollera* dresses. Teams must find the name of the Pit Stop, Panamá Viejo, which was etched on the dancers' necklaces and written on one dancer's dress, to check in. The last team to check in may be eliminated.

**Nemo:** "Focus! We've got this!"

**Hali:** "This leg is very critical because not only does it ensure you're in the final leg, it gives momentum."

**Nemo:** "Let's get it checked!"

**Judge:** "Good!"

Nemo & Abe finish detour currently in 2nd place

**Nemo:** "Ok, good luck guys."

**Swag:** "So we think they're off to the pit stop. Obviously we do not know where Asia & Jojo are, they may be here doing the other detour. We've got no idea."

**Hali:** "Ok, we've arrived. we have to look for something."

(cf) **Exploit:** "Knowing we were in 1st, we wanted to take our time because we did not want to find something and get completely lost. We want the final leg badly."

**Asia:** "Ok, here it is."

**Jojo:** "Oh my gosh! The first time we have seen a team all day"

**Swag:** "Crap! We've got to hurry, Swag! it's now or never!"

**Asia:** "Let's pass them! Show those flops that they're washed up. They're season 1 washed up old people. They can go home."

**Hali:** "Wait, that might be it. That park! Let's go get a cab."

**Nemo:** "Ok, They're leaving leaving let's go look for what we need to look for."

**Abe:** "Gosh! What are we looking for?!"

**Swag:** "Ok, we have failed twice. let's do this."

Swag & Eliov finished detour currently in 3rd place.

**Asia:** "There they go. We hate them anyways."

**Jojo:** "That means they're ahead of us."

**Asia:** "Shut up! I have been carrying this whole time."

**Nemo:** "Ok, is that the clue?"

**Abe:** "Let's go for it."

**Hali:** "Our cab just took a five minute lap and dropped us back off so clearly we were not right."

**Exploit:** "Let's look more."

**Swag:** "Oh my gosh! They're still here!"

**Exploit:** "Ok, maybe that was more then five minutes."

**Nemo:** "Ugh! Our cab didn't know the directions."

**Abe:** "We need to be right."

**Swag:** "Let's go."

**Hali:** "If we are in last now, I do not know what to do."

**Asia:** "Ok, let's do this!"

Asia & Jojo finish detour currently in Last place.

**Swag:** "Our cabs just took different turns. Hopefully we've got the right location."

**Exploit:** "Our cab seems to know where we are going so let's go."

DRAMATIC MUSIC

**Nemo:** "Abe, there's Phil!"

Nemo & Abe, you are team number 1! You are one of the teams that will be racing to the finish line for one million dollars! You have won a trip for 2 from Travelocity and you are going to Italy! However, I have to tell you the final leg starts right now! Here is your clue. Now head to the airport!

**Nemo:** "So much for that win."

**Abe:** "At least we have time."

Exploit & Hali, you are team number 2! However, the final leg starts right now!

**Hali:** "Ugh! We wanted to rest."

**Exploit:** "We're in the finale but we lost our lead. We need to get it back."

**Jojo:** "Here it is. let's find the clue."

**Swag:** "Our cab was wrong!"

**Eliov:** "We've got to make it back before Asia & Jojo catch us."

**Jojo:** "Ok, to the pit stop!"

**Eliov:** "Oh my gosh! There's the clue! That was so dumb!"

**Jojo:** "Our cab just broke down!"

**Asia:** "We are completely screwed..."

**Eliov:** "There they are on the side of the road!"

**Swag:** "That's WHAT YOU GET FOR CALLING US OLD!"

**Asia:** "Do you hear yourself? how old are you?"

Cab drives away.

Swag & Eliov, you are team number 3!

**Swag:** "Buh bye to the witches."

However, the final leg starts right now here's your clue!

**Asia:** "Let's just run."

After a 20 minute run!

Jojo passes out.

**Asia:** "Give him medical. Come on medical, do your job, idiots!"

Jojo wakes up.

**Jojo:** "I feel better."

**Asia:** "Let's get this crap over with."

Asia & Jojo, you have fought hard. I am sorry to tell you that you are the last team to arrive.

**Asia:** "It's unfair! those old washed up people beat us, that boring fish and tree beat us, and who are the other people, like, fake underdogs. They don’t even deserve to beat us."

Well, how would you feel if I were to tell you that you can keep racing? Here's your next clue! In addition, you will have a speed bump on the final leg.

**Jojo:** "We made it!"

**Asia:** "I frankly do not want to see the other teams again. But when we win the race at the finish line, they won’t be there so that's good."
