"Vroom Vroom, Bitch"

**"Vroom Vroom, Bitch"** is the fourth episode of Sleepy's Amazing Race 8.

## Story

* The leg starts with teams trying to find flights to Frankfurt, Germany.
* Since the teams are released in the middle of the night, a degree of equalization happens, but certain savvy teams think to buy tickets for the train in Frankfurt in advance, giving them an advantage. These teams are Ingrid and Beau, Milania and Rex, and Olwen and Brooke.
* Ingrid and Beau try to make amends with Milania and Rex and propose the idea of working together. Milania and Rex accept, but when Rex "quietly" suggested to Milania that they use the opportunity to sabotage their rivals, Ingrid and Beau overhear and they start fighting again. Great teamwork!
* The next day in Frankfurt, the aforementioned teams end up on the first train with the remaining teams on a later train... except Deirdre and Morgan who somehow end up on the first train? Maybe they sang a very persuasive song to the person at the ticket counter or maybe they just got lucky. Either way, they're there with the front of the pack.
* The good ol' rivalry between Team Love and Team Divorce continues, as they each try to sway Deirdre and Morgan to work with them for the leg. Deirdre and Morgan actually end up liking Olwen and Brooke the best since they're chill and not literally insane like the other teams on the train.
* Despite their lead, Olwen and Brooke and Milania and Rex end up getting lost in Stuttgart, allowing Ingrid and Beau and Deirdre and Morgan to pass them and the teams from the second train catch up to them.
* The rolls were crazy again this leg because those four teams somehow ended up all getting to the Roadblock at the same time anyway so idk what's happening anymore LMAO. The dice pretty much chose four main characters this leg!
* Clay and Eden get stuck at the Mercedez Headquarters because Clay apparently has a big fear of traveling at fast speeds, causing his team to fall to the back of the pack.
* At the Roadblock, Beau finds a gnome on literally his first try, giving his team a big lead going into the Detour. However, Brooke find a gnome not long afterward, giving him and Olwen the opportunity to catch up.
* Milania and Rex end up fluctuating wildly between being at the front of the pack and back of the pack this leg, while Alexa and Daniel, Clay and Eden, and Leo and Tristan are pretty consistently behind.
* Alexa and Daniel and Leo and Tristan just aren't very good navigators and get lost a fuckton, so that's why they're pretty far behind. None of that is Daniel's fault though, of course, because he's perfect and it's only ever Alexa that messes things up. At least, that's what Daniel says. God help Alexa, she's gonna snap one day.
* Ingrid and Beau and Olwen and Brooke are the first two teams at the Detour and basically end up having an intense dance-off for first place.
* The brothers come out on top and managed to maintain their lead to the Pit Stop, winning their second leg this season!
* After that, this Detour ends up being super hard and most of the teams get bunched up there.
* Deirdre and Morgan, being musicians, absolutely crush it and finish the Detour super quickly!
* Auster is also a musician (and an attention whore) so they're able to coach Ayla through the dance and complete the Detour quickly. Janelle and Sable are just smart and athletic and get the hang of the dance quickly, finishing as well.
* Deirdre and Morgan get lost looking for the Pit Stop, allowing the aforementioned two teams to pass them, but are still very proud of themselves and sing Khil, the host, and the other two teams a celebratory little song. Auster sings along too and kinda tries to upstage them with their vocals but it's all in good fun and the teams have a good laugh.
* The four remaining teams yet to finish the leg, however, are not having a good laugh.
* Alexa and Daniel try the dance side of the Detour, but Daniel keeps messing up and decides the whole side of the Detour is stupid so they decide to switch tasks.
* Milania and Rex also choose the non-dancing side of the Detour solely as an excuse to break things over each other's heads.
* Leo and Tristan figure they're athletic enough to complete the dance, while Clay and Eden decide to dance so as not to leave their fate up to luck.
* Alexa and Daniel and Milania and Rex get pretty lucky and finish the task, leaving only Leo and Tristan and Clay and Eden fighting it out for last.
* Leo and Tristan didn't realize how much memorization dancing requires and get very confused, while Clay's stiffness and embarrassment holds back him and Eden.
* In the end, Leo and Tristan finish the task first and head for the Pit Stop, but get lost because of course they do they're freaking himbos.
* Clay and Eden finish in the meantime and ooh baby we got a navigation-off!
* The team that reaches the Pit Stop first is...
* Clay and Eden! Khil tells them they're not last and they rejoice and hug each other as Clay apologizes profusely for holding them back and nearly getting them eliminated. Eden tells him it wasn't his fault and then she loves him and wouldn't want to race with anyone else! Especially because he's an excellent navigator and she's not.
* The music turns somber as Leo and Tristan approach the mat. Khil informs them that they are the last team to arrive...
* However, they'll live to see another day as this is a non-elimination leg! The boyfriends kiss and celebrate and vow to do better. Ah, what himbos.
