## Story

Leg 10 (Based off Leg 10 of The Amazing Race 19)

A bus arrives at the Peace Palace.

**Phil:** "During the pit stop, teams boarded a bus heading for a mystery destination."

**Wilted:** "We are on a bus waiting to leave. We have four teams here so we think Asia & Jojo finally got out."

**Iconic:** "Maybe we can all sleep better tonight."

**Jojo:** "They're gonna be mad when we step on that bus."

**Abe:** "I wonder what we're waiting on?"

**Asia:** "WOOO! WHO'S READY FOR AN ALL NIGHTER!"

**Abe:** "I had to ask..."

**Alex:** "NOO! WHY DO THEY ALWAYS GET LAST ON NON-ELIMS!"

**Cloud:** "We can't get rid of them. They're like flies."

**Jojo:** "If you thought we were done, we've only just begun!"

**Brittnee:** "Ugh!"

Bus leaves.

**Alex:** "What happened last leg needs to be put behind us. This blame game stuff isn't going to work."

**Wilted:** "I know that. It's hard to slow down when you have so much money on the line. That's life changing and this is coming from a winner."

**Alex:** "We need it bad and that's why we have to do what we do best and work in spite of the rivalry."

(cf) **Alex:** "I firmly believe we can win this race. We've already done it before but we need to take the proper steps to do it. Wilted knows what needs done, he's just too intense sometimes."

**Mega:** "I feel good. We've made it so far that I think we've proved that we're a strong team."

**Cloud:** "I remember when we were labeled as lucky winners when we actually killed it."

**Mega:** "Let's not forget that we were also fan favorites. People love watching underdogs win and we did that."

**Cloud:** "I've had the chance to win twice and show people what I'm made of. We can absolutely win again."

**Micky:** "To think, I almost didn't come back because of how my last race ended. Doing it again was worth it to redeem myself no matter what happens now."

**Abe:** "This is the farthest I've made it in a long time and it feels weird saying that. I think I got so used to going far that I took for granted every single leg I've ran."

**Micky:** "Of course there's still the sting of going home so soon so I want to make this race count cause you never know when it's your last."

**Abe:** "I'm not relaxing one little bit. We've come too far to lose now. Ghost Town is here to win the race twice."

**Iconic:** "We're the newest team here and we're still going strong."

**Brittnee:** "I think we've grown so much through this that we feel like different people."

**Iconic:** "TSM left me relatively unknown but doing the race has led to several opportunities I would've never had otherwise. But the race is not over...We want to win it."

**Brittnee:** "I could be the first person to make the final leg in three back to back seasons and we could be the first to win two back to back. We're the team of firsts and that's where we want to finish."

**Jojo:** "It's party time!"

**Asia:** "WHO'S READY TO HEAR ABOUT WILTED'S LIES ABOUT BRITTNEE?!"

Everyone: "SHUT UP!"

Bus arrives.

The race resumes at De Krijtberg.

**Abe:** "This morning, we are leaving in first place which is always nice. We believe we're in
Amsterdam. We were taken in here by blindfold so we'll see if we're right."

**Micky:** "This place is beautiful! And so is the music."

**Abe:** "We're defiantly inside a Church. Take it all in."

Micky & Abe will depart 1st.

**Route Info:** Teams must make their way to the Koninklijk Theater Tuschinski and search for a gear. Once found, they must take it to the nearby canal bridges, where they would find five Dutch street organs. Once they've fixed the organ and both team members operate it for five minutes each, the organ grinder would give them their next clue.

**Micky:** "We are indeed in Amsterdam."

**Abe:** "It has to be near here. We just need to ask."

(cf) **Abe:** "Having experience helps in situations where you have no control of where you're going. Our goal is to take the record and leave Alex & Wilted with nothing."

**Micky:** "This is it. So we're looking for a gear somewhere in here."

**Abe:** "This place is huge."

**Iconic:** "Whoa, look at this!"

**Brittnee:** "It's so beautiful!"

(cf) **Micky:** "As we kept searching, more and more teams came in to the point that it was basically an equalizer."

**Asia:** "Everyone's here!"

**Alex:** "Ghost Town is still here."

**Cloud:** "Anything?"

**Mega:** "Nope."

**Abe:** "I got one! Let's go!"

**Mega:** "Found one!"

**Wilted:** "Where are they finding those?!"

**Alex:** "Who cares. I got one!"

**Iconic:** "Boom! Let's go!"

**Jojo:** "We're the only ones left!"

**Asia:** "WHERE IS THIS GEAR!"

**Micky:** "Here's an organ."

**Cloud:** "Over there!"

(cf) **Mega:** "We each had to operate the organ for five minutes and then the guy would give us our clue."

**Cloud:** "So cool!"

**Abe:** "This is what the race is about!"

**Alex:** "This is fun!"

**Iconic:** "It's hard work but the music makes it all worth it."

**Jojo:** "Anything?"

**Asia:** "GOT ONE! FINALLY!"

**Abe:** "Alright, your turn."

**Micky:** "Music time!"

**Cloud:** "Go for it."

**Mega:** "So it goes this way. There we go!"

**Brittnee:** "Everyone but Asia & Jojo are here so far."

**Iconic:** "Switch!"

**Alex:** "You're up."

**Wilted:** "Here we go."

(cf) **Cloud:** "We were all near each other on the bridges so we started dancing to our partners' music. Even enemies did it cause there was no Asia & Jojo!"

**Abe:** "I call this the T-pose. T for tree."

**Alex:** "I got the winning moves."

**Jojo:** "There it is!"

**Asia:** "Start turning!"

(cf) **Iconic:** "The dancing was short lived. Asia & Jojo arrived and started being negative as usual."

**Asia:** "Pick it up! You still have four minutes to go!"

**Micky:** "I'm done!"

Micky & Abe finish organ currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must take a train to Brussels, Belgium. Upon arrival, they musk find the marked cars and drive themselves to the Concert Noble, where they would find their next clue.

**Caution: U-Turn Ahead!**

**Micky:** "Another one?! How many uturns are there?!"

**Abe:** "Off to the train station. We have to hurry now."

**Mega:** "Done!"

Mega & Cloud finish organ currently in 2nd place.

**Wilted:** "I'm good!"

Alex & Wilted finish organ currently in 3rd place.

**Brittnee:** "Got it!"

Iconic & Brittnee finish organ currently in 4th place.

**Asia:** "SWITCH! IT'S MY TURN!"

**Abe:** "The next train doesn't leave for another 30 minutes. Everyone could catch up."

**Cloud:** "We need the fastest train possible please."

**Wilted:** "We're stuck here. Our only hope is Asia & Jojo missing it."

**Asia:** "I'M DONE!"

Asia & Jojo finish organ currently in Last place.

**Brittnee:** "We're boarding now. Let's hope they don't show up."

**Wilted:** "Please go."

Train leaves.

**Micky:** "We're moving. And I don't see them!"

**Cloud:** "We left them behind! YAY!"

**Abe:** "Now everyone can breathe."

**Asia:** "SURPRISE! GUESS AGAIN LOSERS!"

**Abe:** "Geez...spoke too soon again."

**Alex:** "Everyone's on the same train and we have yet another uturn coming up. Not good."

**Brittnee:** "I need sleep. Good night."

**Iconic:** "It isn't even night time yet but I agree. Good night."

(cf) **Cloud:** "We all needed sleep after the last leg so we all pretty much did. Even Asia & Jojo fell asleep!"

Train arrives.

**Cloud:** "Marked cars."

**Iconic:** "See anything?"

**Micky:** "There they are."

**Brittnee:** "Over there!"

**Alex:** "Everyone's in a car line right now. We just need to get there and build a lead cause I trust no one here."

**Asia:** "We want the power so we're getting there first!"

**Jojo:** "I'm thinking about ditching them to go this way."

**Cloud:** "I think I see a faster way to get there at this turn."

**Mega:** "Asia & Jojo just did it, should we?"

**Cloud:** "Sure. We're taking what might be a faster way but Asia & Jojo did as well which is scary cause they're not that smart."

**Abe:** "We lost two teams back there. They must be trying something but I don't know why since this is the fastest way."

**Micky:** "Good for us."

**Wilted:** "We've got Iconic & Brittnee in front and Ghost Town behind. The other two took that turn."

**Iconic:** "So far so good."

**Brittnee:** "Uh oh. We've got cops up here."

**Iconic:** "See what's going on."

**Brittnee:** "Excuse me, sir. Can we go this way to get here?"

**Cop:** "No. We're not allowing anyone on this road because of an accident."

**Brittnee:** "Crap!"

**Iconic:** "We need to turn around and go back!"

**Wilted:** "You're kidding me! I can't go this way! The road is closed!"

**Micky:** "Looks like we have to go the way the other teams went. Now we're behind."

**Jojo:** "I see it."

**Asia:** "Find parking!"

**Jojo:** "I can't! I got this guy on my tail!"

**Asia:** "Do it anyway!"

**Cloud:** "Here it is."

**Mega:** "Wow, this place is cool!"

**Cloud:** "Clue box!"

Mega & Cloud find the clue currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must drive themselves to the Ford Proving Grounds, where they would find their next clue.

**Mega:** "Let's go. They're just now getting here."

Asia & Jojo find the clue currently in 2nd place.

**Jojo:** "Come on, we've got to follow them."

**Mega:** "How do we get to the Ford Proving Grounds?"

**Asia:** "They stopped. SEE YA!"

**Jojo:** "We have an idea of where it is. So we're sticking with it."

(cf) **Cloud:** "We saw Asia & Jojo zoom past us but I don't think they ever stopped for directions."

**Mega:** "Thank you!"

**Cloud:** "There's everyone else, we need to go!"

Iconic & Brittnee find the clue currently in 3rd place.

Alex & Wilted find the clue currently in 4th place.

**Micky:** "I lost them."

**Abe:** "They made a green light and we didn't. We're in last place for sure now."

**Alex:** "Ghost Town is in last place where they belong. This uturn needs to be soon so we can use it on them!"

**Brittnee:** "No one talked strategy on the train because everyone needed sleep. So we have no idea if anyone is targeting us or not."

(cf) **Iconic:** "With so few teams left, we know we're threats. Our goal is to make it to the next leg in one piece."

**Micky:** "That was the longest red light ever."

**Abe:** "It's up here."

Micky & Abe find the clue currently in Last place.

**Micky:** "We need someone to get lost or something."

**Cloud:** "We missed the turn. We lost some time but we think Asia & Jojo are lost so we should be good."

**Jojo:** "I'm taking this turn."

**Asia:** "I see the box! Who needs maps?!"

**Jojo:** "There's our speed bump."

**Speed Bump:** Asia & Jojo must replace the tires on a Ford Mustang before they can continue racing.

**Asia:** "I've never changed a tire in my life! AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO!"

**Jojo:** "I am not doing this by myself."

**Asia:** "Fine. Here's your tools. I'm done."

**Jojo:** "You did one little thing!"

**Asia:** "Fine! I'll do this side."

(cf) **Jojo:** "Asia is smelling the million so now I know she wants to do anything it takes to win that title."

**Iconic:** "There's Alex & Wilted. We're staying with them."

**Brittnee:** "It's always good to have a team in sight early on like this."

**Wilted:** "I really want to lose these girls!"

**Alex:** "I don't know what to tell you here. There's no good way to do it."

**Brittnee:** "I doubt they're happy about it."

**Mega:** "There it is."

**Cloud:** "How'd they get here?! Well, they're doing that speed bump so whatever."

**Mega:** "Roadblock."

**Roadblock:** "*Who wants to play with the Ponies?*"
One team member must test drive a Ford Mustang. They must first accelerate to 100 mph and then brake at a designated spot. They must then go through a slalom course within 16 seconds. Finally, they must perform two victory doughnuts. Once all three tasks are completed, their instructor would give them their next clue.

Mega is doing the RB.

**Mega:** "These are the instructors? I choose you."

**Instructor:** "Alright, come with me."

**Jojo:** "This is not as hard as I thought."

**Asia:** "My side is done!"

**Jojo:** "She finished faster than me?! Wow."

**Asia:** "You're still working?!"

**Jojo:** "Not anymore. Check?"

Judge: "Good."

**Asia:** "YES!"

**Jojo:** "First try! We did that fast!"

Jojo is doing the RB.

**Alex:** "I see it."

**Iconic:** "Here we are."

Wilted is doing the RB.

Brittnee is doing the RB.

**Iconic:** "What happened to Ghost Town? Did they finish already?"

**Alex:** "They missed a light. We're all ahead of them. This would be a great time to take a shot at them."

**Iconic:** "They have been strong."

(cf) **Alex:** "I'm planting seeds to get rid of Micky & Abe. They want us out and since they've been winning, it shouldn't take much to convince the others."

**Asia:** "We'll do what we want. We play no one's games!"

**Alex:** "Then why do you follow everyone everywhere?"

**Asia:** "It's strategy sis!"

**Alex:** "Girl..."

**Mega:** "WHOA! THIS IS WILD!"

(cf) **Mega:** "They took us on this test course and let me tell you, I've never been in a car that went so fast before. He was making all these crazy sharp turns, it was really cool!"

**Abe:** "Oh, I see it."

Micky is doing the RB.

**Abe:** "I'm glad it's cars and not ponies otherwise I would be mad."

(cf) **Iconic:** "Everyone was there so I was nervous. I am hoping Brittnee can get it done before they do."

**Mega:** "Now the real fun begins."

**Instructor:** "This is slalom. You're time is measured from now until the end."

(cf) **Mega:** "Once we went around the track, I had to do this slalom course."

**Instructor:** "Go."

**Mega:** "Going, going."

**Instructor:** "And stop in the box without hitting the balloon."

**Mega:** "Ugh."

**Instructor:** "Too slow. Try again."

**Jojo:** "WHOA! SO FAST!"

**Wilted:** "Rad riding!"

**Brittnee:** "Don't let me die!"

**Mega:** "I hear them, I need to get it this time."

**Jojo:** "I'm watching someone do it."

**Mega:** "I hit the balloon!"

**Jojo:** "Alright, now it's my turn."

**Mega:** "Now there's a line so the pressure is on."

**Jojo:** "Dang it!"

**Wilted:** "Almost there. I got it!"

**Instructor:** "You didn't park in the box."

**Wilted:** "What?!"

(cf) **Wilted:** "The back tires were outside the box so I had to go over again. Super frustrating!"

**Brittnee:** "Oh boy!"

**Instructor:** "You hit a cone. Try again."

**Micky:** "Stupid balloon!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "That course was not easy. Everyone kept failing over and over again."

**Mega:** "Aw!"

**Jojo:** "NO!"

**Wilted:** "UGH!"

**Brittnee:** "Dang it!"

**Micky:** "Come on!"

**Mega:** "UGH!"

**Jojo:** "RIG!"

**Wilted:** "DUDE!"

**Brittnee:** "NO!"

**Micky:** "BLAST!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "Yeah, this sucks."

**Mega:** "I got it this time."

**Jojo:** "Miss it, miss it!"

**Mega:** "How about now?"

**Instructor:** "Good. Now make a victory lap."

**Mega:** "Woo!"

**Instructor:** "Complete. Well done."

Mega finished the RB currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must drive themselves to Ghent and search for the Hoofdbrug, where they would find their next clue.

**Jojo:** "YES!"

**Instructor:** "Complete. Well done."

Jojo complete the RB currently in 2nd place.

**Asia:** "SLAY!"

**Alex:** "I hate them..."

**Asia:** "I HEARD THAT!"

**Alex:** "You were meant to."

**Asia:** "SEE YA LOSER!"

**Jojo:** "I feel like we made up time."

**Wilted:** "They got it. I need to do it this time."

**Brittnee:** "He's almost got it."

**Wilted:** "OH COME ON! THAT DANG BALLOON!"

**Brittnee:** "I need to get it."

**Iconic:** "Come on, girl."

**Micky:** "This is torture having to wait. We're worried about this uturn coning up."

**Brittnee:** "Got it!"

**Instructor:** "Complete. Well done."

Brittnee finishes the RB currently in 3rd place.

**Micky:** "Here we go."

**Wilted:** "Fail, fail, fail!"

**Micky:** "Dang it!"

**Wilted:** "Phew. At least he's still here."

**Cloud:** "We're in the city but I'm not sure what the Hoofdbrug."

**Jojo:** "Do you know the Hoofdbrug?"

**Asia:** "It says right here on that map!"

**Jojo:** "Then we'll go there."

**Wilted:** "Please, please, please."

**Instructor:** "Complete. Well done."

**Wilted:** "Woo!"

Wilted finishes the RB currently in 4th place.

**Abe:** "And we're last. This is not good."

**Micky:** "I'll get it this time."

**Abe:** "Is that car him?"

**Micky:** "I'm done, let's go!"

Micky finishes the RB currently in Last place.

**Abe:** "We're still behind but we have time. You know, hopefully."

**Jojo:** "This is it. Where's the clue?"

**Asia:** "The barrel?"

**Jojo:** "It is red and yellow. That's it!"

**Detour:** Water or Waffle?

**Choice A:** *Water*
Teams must use the provided materials (pontoons, rope, and wood) to build a raft, which they must then use to search the Leie River for two halves to their next clue.

**Choice B:** *Waffle*
Teams must build a waffle stand and then bake and decorate 18 Belgian waffles to the chef's satisfaction. They must then display the waffles as it appeared in the chef's stand before they can receive their next clue.

Asia & Jojo are doing Waffle.

**Jojo:** "Let's do this one."

**Asia:** "How do we set this up?"

**Jojo:** "I think like that."

**Mega:** "We've got to be close."

**Cloud:** "There's Iconic & Brittnee."

**Iconic:** "Hide it so they don't see it."

Iconic & Brittnee are doing Waffle.

**Cloud:** "They got the clue from over there."

**Mega:** "Here it is."

Mega & Cloud are doing Waffle.

**Asia:** "I can't lift this up!"

**Jojo:** "Try it like this."

**Iconic:** "They're still setting up."

**Brittnee:** "We could pass them here if we're quick."

**Asia:** "There. Step aside, this is how you make waffles."

**Jojo:** "They had a display over there. I need to look."

**Asia:** "Look while I make these."

**Alex:** "Who's that behind us?"

**Micky:** "I see Alex & Wilted. We're still in this!"

**Wilted:** "Ghost Town is behind us again. This is so stressful!"

**Brittnee:** "There we go. I'm sure we set that up way faster."

**Cloud:** "Wow, that is heavy."

**Mega:** "And we still have to make these things."

**Alex:** "There it is."

Alex & Wilted are doing Waffle.

**Abe:** "It's in that barrel."

Micky & Abe are doing Water.

**Jojo:** "How's it going?"

**Asia:** "Don't ask..."

**Jojo:** "Did they get burnt?"

**Brittnee:** "Ugh, too thick."

**Iconic:** "We've two made but we made a mistake on this one."

**Mega:** "I'm not sure what to do with this but I'll put it here and see if it works."

**Alex:** "They're still here and they all look like they're struggling."

**Wilted:** "Let's do the other one then."

Alex & Wilted switch detours.

**Alex:** "So we're not as far behind as we thought but we have to hope that this will be faster."

(cf) **Wilted:** "We're trying to jump placements so we can dodge any chance of getting uturned by anyone."

**Micky:** "We need these sticks to go through here."

**Abe:** "Lay these out."

**Wilted:** "Right here."

**Alex:** "Grab those and start tying them up."

**Abe:** "Ahh. We could take these longer ones and use the short ones to keep it together."

**Micky:** "It's like we're on Survivor again."

(cf) **Abe:** "At this point, we're thinking if we can finish faster than Alex & Wilted, we could still uturn them."

(cf) **Wilted:** "Ghost Town being with us gave me more drive to finish so we can uturn them."

**Alex:** "Put that here."

**Brittnee:** "These things are awful! I don't get why I can't make these now."

**Iconic:** "We gotta find something wrong here otherwise we'll lose our position."

**Jojo:** "We're getting there. Asia is making these hot!"

**Asia:** "You better believe it!"

**Cloud:** "This is fun. We're making these pretty fast. We think we have the details."

**Mega:** "We're just enjoying ourselves trying not to stress out too much."

**Alex:** "Almost there."

**Micky:** "To the water."

**Abe:** "Looks good. Let's get going."

**Wilted:**" I think ours is good."

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

**Asia:** "They're in the water!"

**Jojo:** "We're pretty much there. Check?"

**Chef:** "No."

**Asia:** "What?!"

**Iconic:** "The others are getting the clue. We should've done the other one."

**Brittnee:** "Focus on this. We're close."

(cf) **Cloud:** "We knew that everyone was at the detour but panicking was not gonna help us so we toned that out."

**Mega:** "I'm pretty sure that has strawberries."

**Micky:** "There's one of them."

**Abe:** "I'll grab it."

**Wilted:** "See if we can bump them."

**Micky:** "Hey! Watch what you're doing!"

**Alex:** "We were hehehe!"

**Abe:** "Forget them, off to the next one."

**Alex:** "We got it, let's go."

**Jojo:** "Wait a second. I see a blueberry there."

**Asia:** "That has to be it. Check?"

**Chef:** "Yes."

**Asia:** "YESS!"

Asia & Jojo finish detour currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must make their way on foot to the Gravensteen, where they would find their next clue.

**Asia:** "That's back where we last came from!"

**Jojo:** "First place, here we come!"

**Cloud:** "Asia & Jojo finished."

**Iconic:** "Check?"

**Chef:** "No."

**Iconic:** "Oh no. Now we have to figure out what's wrong."

**Mega:** "Slow and steady wins the race. We would know."

**Abe:** "That's number two."

**Micky:** "Let's g-AHH!"

**Wilted:** "HAHAH!"

**Micky:** "Come on!"

(cf) **Micky:** "We should've seen this coming. They bumped into our boat so hard that one of our paddles got launched."

**Abe:** "It landed up here, I'll go get it."

**Alex:** "Nice work! Now we're in front of them!"

**Wilted:** "Bye bye!"

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

**Brittnee:** "Check?"

**Chef:** "No."

**Iconic:** "Let's go look again. Perhaps our flag was facing the wrong way."

**Brittnee:** "Mega & Cloud look close."

**Wilted:** "Keep paddling!"

**Alex:** "I am! We're almost there."

**Wilted:** "We made it! Read your half."

Alex & Wilted finish detour currently in 2nd place.

**Abe:** "There they go."

Micky & Abe finish detour currently in 3rd place.

**Abe:** "We have to beat them there. Chances are that uturn is there!"

**Alex:** "I see everyone but Asia & Jojo there."

**Wilted:** "They're probably lost for all I know."

**Asia:** "This is it."

**Jojo:** "Yeah, but where's the board?"

**Asia:** "It's in here somewhere."

(cf) **Jojo:** "This place was huge so this board could be anywhere."

**Asia:** "This place is creepy!"

**Jojo:** "No sign of it."

**Cloud:** "Let's try it."

**Mega:** "Check?"

**Chef:** "No."

**Cloud:** "I might have it. We have these backwards. Switch these two."

**Mega:** "We think we have it this time. Check?"

**Chef:** "Yes."

**Cloud:** "Yes!"

Mega & Cloud finish detour currently in 4th place.

**Mega:** "Good eye!"

**Brittnee:** "This is not good. We are now in last place and we have no idea if anyone is targeting us with that uturn."

**Iconic:** "We have to hope it's not us. Mega did it before so that's scary."

**Jojo:** "It's not at the top. Where have we not checked?"

**Asia:** "What's in that room?"

**Jojo:** "Here it is."

**Phil:** "This is a double uturn. Where two teams will have the opportunity to slow down two other teams, forcing them to perform both sides of the detour."

**Asia:** "We know exactly what we're doing hehehe!"

(cf) **Jojo:** "Earlier, a certain someone said they hated us and we hate them more so here's their payback!"

Asia & Jojo uturn Alex & Wilted.

**Route Info:** Teams must drive themselves to Muur van Geraardsbergen, where they would find their next clue.

**Jojo:** "We hate you!"

**Asia:** "Here they come."

**Alex:** "It's in here."

**Asia:** "SCREW YOU!"

**Wilted:** "HEY!"

**Alex:** "Um. That's a bad sign. That probably means they uturned us."

**Abe:** "It's over there."

(cf) **Abe:** "We saw Alex & Wilted searching for the board so if we beat them, we can use it on them."

**Wilted:** "Hurry! Ghost Town is here now!"

**Micky:** "It's not up here."

**Alex:** "Where is it?!"

**Iconic:** "Check?"

**Chef:** "No."

**Brittnee:** "Come on!"

**Abe:** "Micky, I see the board and they're on it!"

(cf) **Abe:** "We that Asia & Jojo uturned Alex & Wilted so our plan was to burn the board on them. But just before we were able to put our feet on the mat..."

**Alex:** "There!"

**Wilted:** "We touched it first!"

**Alex:** "Yep, we're uturned."

(cf) **Alex:** "Ghost Town was about to step on the uturn mat but we saw the board in a side hall and touched it just in time to edge them out."

**Alex:** "We have to uturn someone."

(cf) **Wilted:** "Asia & Jojo uturning us makes no sense but it does give us a chance to uturn our favorite people in the world...Micky & Abe!"

**Wilted:** "We're uturning Ghost Tow-"

**Abe:** "Wait a second. Why not uturn someone who is further behind to give yourselves a fighting chance? If you do us, you know we're right there."

**Alex:** "Hm...NAH!"

Alex & Wilted uturn Micky & Abe.

**Wilted:** "That was a long time coming losers!"

**Abe:** "Fine, go ahead. We'll just eliminate you ourselves."

**Alex:** "In your dreams!"

**Iconic:** "Wait, the chocolate one goes in that row. So there's another one out of place."

**Brittnee:** "I think it's that strawberry one."

**Iconic:** "We think we figured it out. Check?"

**Chef:** "Yes."

**Brittnee:** "Finally!"

Iconic & Brittnee finish detour currently in 3rd place.

**Iconic:** "We better not be uturned."

**Alex:** "Here it is."

**Micky:** "We have to build it like this."

**Alex:** "Looks good."

**Abe:** "One more post...there."

**Micky:** "I'm taking notes right now for the waffles."

**Abe:** "I used to make these things all the time so I should do well here."

**Alex:** "I'm a waffle wiz so we should be good."

**Wilted:** "Then why didn't we do this?"

**Alex:** "Because of the memory part. We obviously did the other one faster than them."

**Cloud:** "There's the board."

**Mega:** "It's all used up."

And Micky & Abe, this is your fourth time surviving the uturn which means Abe, you didn't break Alex & Wilted's record, but you have broken your own record with Coby for most uturns survived in a single season. We really are witnessing the best of the best go at it. You guys have broken all kinds of records this time around. I'm excited to see who comes out on top."

**Wilted:** "And we have the gold today."

(cf) **Alex:** "I was shocked that we came in first after the day we had. But this is why we are the strongest team in TAR history. We stopped Ghost Town from taking our record and even put our names by one of theirs. There is nothing stopping us from winning this race!"

(cf) **Abe:** "I'm a little bummed that we didn't steal their record but padding my own only shows that we are the team to beat. They will have to step up their games to have any shot at beating us!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "And that is why you never give up in this race. Someone could do something far worse than anything you did. So never give up."

**Asia:** "WHERE IS THIS STUPID THING?!"

**Jojo:** "We're not in Brussels yet."

**Cloud:** "We've made new friends, got to race with old ones, and made many memories here."

**Mega:** "Good job, partner."

**Cloud:** "Good job, partner."
