## Story

Leg 12 (Based off Leg 11/12 of The Amazing Race 35)

The race resumes at Peckforton Castle.

Micky & Abe have started 1st.

**Abe:** "Fly to Dublin, Ireland?!"

**Route Info:** Teams must fly to Dublin, Ireland. Upon arrival, teams will be taken to Saint Patrick's Cathedral where they would meet host **Phil Keoghan**.

**Micky:** "That's weird. Usually we fly back to the U.S. for the final. I wonder why we're going to Dublin?"

**Abe:** "I don't know. I'm sure they're gonna try and make it hard on us given that this is the grand championship."

**Brittnee:** "I feel good. We're in the final, we're heading to the airport, all we have to do is run a perfect leg."

**Iconic:** "Indeed! I love the though of two women holding the title of grand champions!"

**Wilted:** "We're on our way to the airport to get our tickets to Dublin. Not sure why but we have to go with it."

**Alex:** "I'm worried that this is one of those things where all four teams race in the final which would allow Asia & Jojo to possibly come to the final 3."

**Asia:** "WE'RE STILL IN AND THE OTHERS BETTER BE SCARED!"

**Jojo:** "You can try all you want but you can't get rid of us! That grand championship title is ours!"

**Micky:** "So it seems like we're all on the same flight."

(cf) **Alex:** "We were waiting at the airport for our flight to leave since it was pretty soon."

**Iconic:** "Congratulations. We're in the final, guys!"

**Micky:** "Yeah, congratulations!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "We've wondered why last season was an all Europe route, well now we know why. It was to pay for all the wacky stuff we did this time. And the wackiness hasn't even ended yet. We're excited for this final!"

**Wilted:** "We should be loving in peace now that Asia & Jojo are gone. We can get back to hating Ghost Town."

**Abe:** "Right back at you."

**Alex:** "I just hope it's not one of those legs where the last team gets to come with is. Otherwise there goes our peac-"

**Asia:** "GUESS WHO'S COMING WITH YOU!"

**Abe:** "Oh no..."

**Iconic:** "You're kidding me!"

**Alex:** "I knew it..."

**Jojo:** "I hope you're ready to lose!"

(cf) **Wilted:** "And just like that, we're back to square one. Someone is going home still and we've been told we're meeting Phil at this cathedral."

Flight leaves.

**Asia:** "We're ready to slay this!"

**Abe:** "Can't let this affect us. We'll do what we do best."

**Brittnee:** "So we're in leg 12 but one more team still has to go. If we're lucky, Asia & Jojo come in last again."

**Alex:** "Get your mind rested up, we're gonna need it."

Flight lands.

**Iconic:** "We are being taken to meet Phil right now. Who knows what this could be."

**Asia:** "Phil better have a good reason for making us ride in this smelly cab!"

**Phil:** ""Hello everybody! Welcome to Dublin; home to Guinness, Trinity College, and this countries most successful rock band, U2. Now, you're probably wondering why you're all here. That's because we have a challenge for you to overcome. One worthy of the grand championship. This is the first of two phases in the final leg. You will take part in a City Sprint. You are going to be racing through Dublin, navigating yourselves from place to place. There are two Roadblocks that you must decide ahead of time who is doing. You'll do every challenge as a team and test your individual skills. Remember, speed matters the most. You're going to race all around the city and come back here, the halfway elimination point for this leg of the race. The first three teams to finish here will race to the finish line in phase two of this leg. The team that doesn't will be eliminated right here. Your first clue is somewhere inside Saint Patrick's Cathedral. When I give you the word, you can find your clue, read it, and start your sprint around Dublin. Good luck, travel safe, GO!"

**Route Info:** Teams were told to search inside Saint Patrick's Cathedral for a clue, leaving them to figure out they were looking for a Travelocity roaming gnome. Once found, they must drive themselves to Castle Park School, then search for Forty Foot along Dublin Bay at Sandycove and swim out to a marked buoy in the Irish Sea to retrieve their next clue. Teams must carry the gnome with them for the remainder of Phase 1.

**Alex:** "This way!"

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

(cf) **Brittnee:** "We walk in and the cathedral was stunning! It's too bad we're racing for a lot of money otherwise we could take more of it in."

**Jojo:** "Look over there."

**Iconic:** "Anything?"

**Brittnee:** "Not yet."

**Alex:** "I got one. It's the Travelocity Gnome! Let's go!"

**Iconic:** "Got a gnome!"

**Abe:** "There's one. I was wondering when we'd see the gnome."

**Asia:** "Here!"

(cf) **Wilted:** "Our clue had two roadblock options that we each had to take. One said "Who wants to get their steps in" and the other said "Who's got the swing?" but we had no idea what they were. So we made our choices and went on our way."

**Abe:** "Alright. Let's hope we made the right choices."

(cf) **Abe:** "The scary thing is now we're committed to them even before we receive those clues. So we can't use the location to guess what the task might be."

**Iconic:** "So I'll do that I guess?"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "There's really no good way to do this without guessing and wasting time. We just marked two off and left."

**Jojo:** "What if it's running?"

**Asia:** "FORGET IT! PICK SOMETHING AND LET'S GO!"

(cf) **Asia:** "We still have a speed bump so we need to do this FAST!"

**Alex:** "Cars are over there."

**Micky:** "We're all still in a car line as of now. We need a point for people to get lost."

**Alex:** "Everyone is following us."

**Wilted:** "I am super tempted to take this exit to confuse them."

**Alex:** "It'll get us there but I don't know how fast so that's risky."

**Wilted:** "Which is why I'm doing it."

**Brittnee:** "Ugh! Alex & Wilted just got off."

**Abe:** "We're still going the right way so I'm not worried about them."

**Asia:** "Don't lose them!"

**Jojo:** "I'm trying."

**Abe:** "If you switch lanes here, we might be able to lose them."

**Iconic:** "Ghost Town is changing lanes."

**Brittnee:** "I'm on it."

**Jojo:** "Dang it! I lost them!"

**Asia:** "I've got it on the map! Keep going!"

**Alex:** "We're looking for Castle Park School."

**Wilted:** "Here it is. I don't see any other cars."

**Alex:** "Run!"

**Abe:** "That's them running."

**Brittnee:** "Dang. They found a faster way."

**Wilted:** "Which way?"

**Alex:** "That's a sign right there."

**Iconic:** "Nice! They stopped!"

**Wilted:** "Annoying!"

**Alex:** "Relax! We're still in front of them."

**Abe:** "We're right on them now."

**Asia:** "FINALLY!"

**Jojo:** "I think it's this way."

**Asia:** "Wait, I see our speed bump!"

**Speed Bump:** Asia & Jojo must swim the length of the pool inside Castle Park School before they can continue racing.

**Asia:** "Let's make this quick!"

**Jojo:** "There's the pool."

**Alex:** "Changing area's over here."

**Micky:** "I see the buoy. Let's make this quick."

(cf) **Alex:** "We knew that we'd have little to no time to think about things thanks to this whole City Sprint thing so our strategy is to just attack every task."

**Iconic:** "I don't think Asia & Jojo are here yet."

**Brittnee:** "They might be doing their speed bump."

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

**Wilted:** "BRR! This water is super cold!"

**Abe:** "YIKES! We're better off just going for it. It's freezing! I've already had hypothermia once!"

(cf) **Abe:** "I was not looking forward to the freezing water thanks to what happened with me getting hypothermia earlier in the race but I had to do it."

**Iconic:** "There they go."

(cf) **Brittnee:** "That water was no joke. I don't know what the temperature was but it was so cold!"

**Wilted:** "Grab it."

**Micky:** "Head back."

**Iconic:** "Brr! I got it!"

**Asia:** "I'm finished! COME ON JOJO!"

**Jojo:** "I'm here."

Asia & Jojo finish speed bump.

**Jojo:** "We might as well leave our gear on since we're swimming again."

**Wilted:** "Wow, that was something."

Alex & Wilted finish swimming currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must drive themselves to Gaiety Theatre, where they would find their next clue.

**Alex:** "I think we're in first place for sure."

**Abe:** "Ugh. Too cold for me."

Micky & Abe finish swimming currently in 2nd place.

**Jojo:** "They're just now finishing!"

Iconic & Brittnee finish swimming currently in 3rd place.

**Asia:** "GO! WE'RE IN LAST!"

(cf) **Jojo:** "We swam our butts off cause we knew we had to. There was no way anything was stopping us from catching them!"

Asia & Jojo finish swimming currently in Last place.

**Alex:** "Alright. We're trying to get here."

**Micky:** "I don't see us on the map."

**Abe:** "I can get us to here."

**Iconic:** "Let's ask someone."

**Wilted:** "This is still too close to call. We think Asia & Jojo finished their speed bump so it's on now."

**Brittnee:** "I got it. Let's go."

**Asia:** "Someone's driving off! We're still in it!"

**Iconic:** "That was them!"

**Micky:** "We are heading back the same way we came. It's more distance but we are going faster."

**Abe:** "Gotta love the freeway."

**Alex:** "I see the clue box."

**Wilted:** "It's a roadblock."

**Roadblock:** "*Who wants to get their steps in?*"
The team member assigned to this Roadblock must learn a 30-second Irish stepdance routine from *Riverdance*. Once they have performed the routine to the judge, *Riverdance* executive producer and associate director Padraic Moyles' satisfaction, he would give them one half of their next clue.

**Alex:** "So this is mine then."

Alex is doing the RB.

**Wilted:** "What's this say?"

**Route Info:** Non-participating team members must drive themselves to Croke Park, where they would find their next clue at the top of the stadium.

**Wilted:** "Oh. So I have to do this while you do that."

**Alex:** "Oh boy. Try to come back for me."

**Abe:** "Crap! We missed the parking garage so we have to loop around and go again."

**Iconic:** "I see the box."

Brittnee is doing the RB.

**Alex:** "Who's the best coach?"

**Brittnee:** "I'll take you."

**Alex:** "So what am I doing?"

**Abe:** "Ok, here we go."

Abe is doing the RB.

**Abe:** "Oh phew. There's a music element to this."

**Micky:** "So I have to go here then."

**Iconic:** "I am heading back to the car so I can get to the next place. Hopefully Brittnee knocks her thing out quick."

**Abe:** "You look like you want to teach me. Let's go."

**Instructor:** "So have you ever riverdanced before?"

**Abe:** "Nope. This will be a first."

**Alex:** "Crap. Abe is doing it."

(cf) **Alex:** "We all know how Abe is with music tasks so Ghost Town may have gotten lucky."

**Brittnee:** "Oh, I look cute in this!"

**Instructor:** "Ok, so we're mainly looking for five thing. Posture, which is having our shoulders back. Performance, which is always smiling whenever we're on stage. Our turnout, which is, we turn out from the hip, being on time with the music. And the last thing is just working as a team."

**Abe:** "Ok. I'm a performer so hopefully that helps a little."

**Alex:** "Whoa. This won't be easy but I aced my last dancing challenge."

**Instructor:** "So the first thing we're going to do is go point and point, hop step, back."

**Alex:** "Ok. I feel good so far."

**Wilted:** "I am searching for this stadium but I don't have Alex to navigate so I may need to ask. Wait. I see it!"

**Micky:** "There's Wilted."

**Wilted:** "A ha. Here it is."

**Roadblock:** "*Who's got the swing?*"
The team member assigned to this Roadblock must perform a hurling drill, which involved completing and catching a pass, then hit the ball with a paddle through the end goal above the crossbar to score a point. Once they have successfully performed the drill from start to finish, they would receive one half of their next clue.

Wilted is doing the second RB.

Micky is doing the second RB.

**Iconic:** "I have no idea where I am going right now. I need to stop somewhere."

**Jojo:** "I see it!"

Jojo is doing the RB.

**Asia:** "WHAT?! I HAVE TO DO THIS BY MYSELF?! NO MA'AM!"

**Jojo:** "Just go!"

**Wilted:** "Alright. So I have to capture this pass and hit the ball there? That sounds simple enough. I need to get our of here before Micky does."

**Micky:** "I get to watch him go and most likely fail."

**Wilted:** "Hey!"

**Brittnee:** "I'm slowly getting there."

**Jojo:** "Whoa! That's hard!"

**Alex:** "I wanna try."

**Abe:** "I'm going for it. I don't think I'll get it. I just want to know the speed."

Alex 1st attempt.

**Padraic Moyles:** "Well done, Alex. I think we need to go over it again."

**Alex:** "Alright. I slipped pretty early on."

Abe 1st attempt.

**Padraic Moyles:** "Very good, Abe. You're clearly learning. Let's see more improvement on the next turn."

**Abe:** "That was WAY faster than I thought."

**Brittnee:** "It seems like they're trying to get the speed. I'm gonna go try it."

**Jojo:** "GOSH! I am nowhere close to getting this!"

Brittnee 1st attempt.

**Padraic Moyles:** "Brittnee, I can tell you wanted to know the speed which is smart. Now that you know, let's see you use that to your advantage."

**Brittnee:** "Thanks."

(cf) **Brittnee:** "We're in the grand championship. You have to be on your toes all the time since everyone here knows how to game certain tasks."

**Jojo:** "SHOOT!"

**Wilted:** "Here it goes. NO!"

**Micky:** "Haha. Watch this."

**Wilted:** "Oh, I watched it alright."

**Asia:** "Do you know where this is?"

**Local:** "Down that way."

**Iconic:** "I see Asia. I need to get away from her."

**Asia:** "I HATE THIS!"

**Wilted:** "Dang it!"

**Micky:** "Here's my chance. Boom!"

Micky finishes his RB.

**Micky:** "I got a half of a clue. I'm heading back to the theatre where hopefully Abe finished his roadblock."

Wilted finishes his RB.

**Iconic:** "How am I so lost?! Do I still have the map?"

**Asia:** "I can't find this stupid thing!"

Alex 2nd attempt.

**Padraic Moyles:** "You are improving. Let's see that same improvement on the next one."

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

Abe 2nd attempt.

**Padraic Moyles:** "Abe, unfortunately, there was something there that...made you pass!"

Abe finishes his RB.

**Abe:** "So now I need to get back with Micky somehow."

Brittnee 2nd attempt.

**Padraic Moyles:** "You're getting better. You just have to remember to stay as a team."

**Alex:** "Thank you!"

Alex finishes her RB.

**Abe:** "Nothing yet. Wait, there he is!"

**Micky:** "There's Abe. Did you finish?"

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

**Wilted:** "Tell me Alex is in there."

**Alex:** "WILTED!"

**Wilted:** "There she is!"

Micky & Abe finish their RBs currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must drive themselves to Toner's Pub, where each team member must memorize and recite one of two passages from James Joyce's *Ulysses*. If each team member could recite their selected passage perfectly, they would receive their next clue.

**Abe:** "And we're off."

Alex & Wilted finish their RBs currently in 2nd place.

**Wilted:** "I didn't see Iconic or Asia there when we left. So I think we have a lead on them."

**Alex:** "Now we just have to stay with Ghost Town."

**Iconic:** "No! Just to the left."

**Asia:** "I can't even hit the thing!"

**Iconic:** "UGH! Again!"

**Asia:** "This is so stupid!"

(cf) **Asia:** "At this point, I was so mad that I just swung hard hoping it would stick."

**Iconic:** "I keep missing just to the left!"

**Asia:** "This had better work...SLAY!"

**Iconic:** "How?! That was her first time hitting the ball!"

Asia finishes her RB.

**Asia:** "Jojo better not be flopping right now!"

(cf) **Iconic:** "This sucks. I feel like I am letting Brittnee down. I have to get this done now!"

Brittnee 5th attempt.

**Padraic Moyles:** "Yes! That's the one!"

**Brittnee:** "Boom!"

Brittnee finishes her RB.

Jojo 4th attempt.

**Jojo:** "Shoot!"

**Padraic Moyles:** "You gave up on yourself at the end there. Keep at it and you'll finish."

**Jojo:** "I need to finish this before Asia comes back and kills me!"

**Micky:** "There's the pub."

**Alex:** "Right there."

**Abe:** "I'll take this one."

**Wilted:** "I want this one."

(cf) **Alex:** "Leave it up to Wilted to give me the harder one. Though neither of these look easy."

**Wilted:** "Each imagining himself to be the first last and only alone, whereas he is neither first last nor last nor only not alone in a series originating in and repeated to infinity."

**Abe:** "Every life is many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves."

(cf) **Micky:** "This is for that last push. We must beat Alex & WIlted here."

**Wilted:** "You're going down!"

**Abe:** "How about focus on you."

**Asia:** "There it is."

**Jojo:** "NO!"

**Brittnee:** "Oh no!"

**Iconic:** "Come on, YES!"

Iconic finishes her RB.

**Iconic:** "About time. At least I know how to get back."

Jojo 9th attempt.

**Padraic Moyles:** "Jojo, you're killing me with that ending. That's the only thing you need work on and you've got it."

**Asia:** "BOO!"

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

**Wilted:** "Alright."

**Micky:** "You suck!"

**Wilted:** "Shut up!"

**Alex:** "FOCUS!"

**Wilted:** "Ok ok ok. Each imagining himself to be the first last and only alone, whereas he is neither first nor last nor only not alone in a series originating in and repeated to infinity."

**Patrons:** "Boo!"

**Alex:** "Guess that was the wrong way of saying it."

**Wilted:** "Blame them. They can't keep their mouth shut!"

**Alex:** "Then let's do it to them."

**Micky:** "Each imagining himself to be the first last and alone, whereas he is neither first last nor last nor only alone in a series originating in and repeated to infinity."

**Wilted:** "UK Football sucks!"

**Micky:** "Hey!"

**Abe:** "Geez..."

**Patrons:** "Boo!"

**Abe:** "How about leaving us alone?"

**Alex:** "Tell that to your loud partner over here."

**Micky:** "I'll be as loud as I want thank you. Also, you don't diss proper football when you Americans steal our style all the time!"

**Wilted:** "We're free from you so get out!"

**Abe:** "Hey! That's my friend!"

**Micky:** "Is that your bag?"

**Wilted:** "Huh?"

Foot race!

**Brittnee:** "Just wait until they see us again!"

**Asia:** "Well..."

Asia & Jojo, you are the last team to arrive. And this time, there's no escape. You that you have been eliminated from the race.

**Asia:** "UGH!... I wanted to win. We wanted it badly. But you know what? This has been a fun ride. I've made memories that will last a lifetime."

**Jojo:** "Racing with Asia brought a lot out of me. She never quit on me and it got us this far."

**Asia:** "I'm proud of us. Even if it was rigged!"

**Jojo:** "We did good!"

**Asia:** "Now let's go before I CANCEL THIS SHOW!!"

Phase 2 of the final starts at Saint Patrick's Cathedral.

**Brittnee: "We've gotta catch up to the others quick!"**

**Iconic: "What's the clue say?"**

**Brittnee: "Fly to your final destination, Seattle, Washington!"**

**Route Info:** Teams must fly to Seattle, Washington, United States. Upon arrival, teams must choose a marked car with a miniature souvenir Space Needle on the dashboard and were left to figure out that they had to drive there in order to find their next clue.

**Phil:** "Now only three teams remain for the title of Grand Champions!"

(cf) **Micky:** "This is it. We know what needs done. I've gone from bottom three to top three and it's time to be the top one."

(cf) **Abe:** "All those wins mean nothing if we can't win this last leg. It's time to get into battle mode."

(cf) **Alex:** "We've survived several haters, we know what it takes and so it's all ours."

(cf) **Wilted:** "Failiure is not an option. We will tackle any challenge ahead of us and be the champions!"

(cf) **Iconic:** "We've stayed consistent and here we are. It's time for us to strike!!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "Just like before, they will not see it coming when we walk away the grand champions!"

All teams are on the same flight.

Flight leaves.

**Phil:** "All teams are now making their way to their final destination, Seattle, Washington for phase 2 of the final leg. This is for the grand championship! Who will claim the title and the four million dollars? We'll find out as the teams get ready to land!"

Flight lands.

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

**Micky:** "This way!"

**Brittnee:** "I see the cars!"

**Wilted:** "I'll bet that's where we're going."

**Alex:** "It looks like the Space Needle."

**Abe:** "We're on our way to the Space Needle. This final is bigger than any final we've ever made before. So we need to be perfect!"

**Micky:** "We're in a position where we MUST win or be forced to live with ourselves for letting this chance slide."

**Alex:** "We HAVE to win this. If Ghost Town wins this leg, they will tie our record for most legs won in a season. We deserve it all to ourselves."

**Wilted:** "I'm not sleeping on Iconic & Brittnee either, they're tough!"

**Alex:** "This is it. It's grand championship time!"

**Iconic:** "We've been in this spot before so we know we have to bring out our best!"

**Brittnee:** "All race long, we've tried to set ourselves up as non-threats. Now I am here for my third time in a row. But this is the one that matters!"

**Iconic:** "I see it!"

**Abe:** "There it is!"

**Wilted:** "It's up there!"

**Brittnee:** "Take a number!"

**Iconic:** "NUMBER 1!"

Iconic & Brittnee get number 1.

**Micky:** "GO GO GO!"

**Wilted:** "GET IT!"

**Abe:** "Got it!"

Micky & Abe get number 2.

Alex & Wilted get number 3.

**Alex:** "Great. We're off to a great start clearly."

**Iconic:** "Roadblock."

**Roadblock:** "*Who can walk the walk?*"
One team member would be harnessed and must walk around the sloped rim of the Space Needle, 500 feet above the ground, to retrieve their next clue.

**Iconic:** "If there's a memory task, who should do that?"

**Brittnee:** "I'll do that!"

Iconic is doing the RB.

**Abe:** "So we want to save me for a memory task right?"

**Micky:** "Yes."

Micky is doing the RB.

**Alex:** "I feel better about any memory thing."

**Wilted:** "It's all yours then if we're right about that."

Wilted is doing the RB.

(cf) **Wilted:** "As we're going up, all I can think of is winning this thing. We've come so far and we're worked so hard. We're known as the best and it's time to show it."

**Iconic:** "Woo!"

**Brittnee:** "COME ON ICONIC!"

**Abe:** "Asia & Jojo stole our car, they've made everyone fight. We're glad to be rid of them! Them winning would've been a joke."

**Alex:** "It's not like you're any better. You've hated us for no good reason since day one. All because we crushed you in Rivals."

**Abe:** "And we'll crush you where it counts. Here!"

**Iconic:** "I got it!"

Iconic finishes the RB currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must return to the entrance of the Space Needle and search for a man wearing a tie in Race colors, who would direct them to a marked path to Chihuly Garden and Glass, where they would find their next clue.

**Brittnee:** "Let's go!"

**Micky:** "Whoa. This is super high."

(cf) **Micky:** "If we weren't racing for the grand championship, I could look at this view all day. But I can't."

Micky finishes the RB currently in 2nd place.

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

(cf) **Wilted:** "I was ready for whatever this leg has to throw at me. Nothing is going to stop us from the title!"

Wilted finishes the RB currently in Last place.

**Brittnee:** "We have to go back out."

**Iconic:** "That man has race colors!"

**Brittnee:** "I see the box!"

**Iconic:** "Get ready for a Seattle Scramble?!"

**Scramble:** Teams were told the locations of all three tasks, which were inspired by the Seattle art scene, that they could complete in any order. For each task completed, teams would receive a puzzle piece. When all three were received, they would be combined to form a clue that would reveal the location of their next clue. The locations of each task, which teams must drive themselves to, were as follows:
**Grunge** at The Showbox;
**Grab** at the Emerald City Trapeze Arts;
**Glass** at the Seattle Glassblowing Studio

**Brittnee:** "We need directions to all of these!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "We were shocked to see a Scramble. It means that everyone is out for themselves. Which is great since we like to do our own thing."

**Micky:** "There's the man."

**Abe:** "I see the box. Get ready for a Seattle Scramble!"

(cf) **Micky:** "We were excited to see that Scramble cause it meant that no one would follow us but it also meant we can't follow anyone else."

**Abe:** "We have to get out of here and find these on the map."

**Alex:** "That tie is red and yellow."

**Wilted:** "The box is in that green house. Get ready for a Seattle Scramble."

(cf) **Alex:** "This is where we knew we had an edge because many times the teams have followed us. But now it makes no sense to follow anyone. Everyone has to run their own race."

**Wilted:** "Everyone is still here."

(cf) **Wilted:** "Everyone was in front of the Space Needle trying to get directions to these places. Now it's a matter of who gets them first and how we approach the order."

**Abe:** "All the addresses are in the clue. Let's do this one first."

**Brittnee:** "So we go here, then here, then here."

**Alex:** "Which one is nearest?"

**Local:** "This."

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

**Iconic:** "We're doing Grab first."

**Abe:** "We're doing Glass first."

**Alex:** "We're going to Glass first."

All teams drive off.

**Micky:** "Are we going the right way?"

**Abe:** "We should be."

**Brittnee:** "We're going for the furthest one. We think the next place is near the Glass thing."

**Iconic:** "If it's anything like our first season, this scramble will be crazy."

**Wilted:** "It makes more sense to knock these two out first cause they're pretty close to each other."

**Alex:** "I see a clue box!"

Alex & Wilted arrive at their first task, Glass.

**Glass:** Teams must use glassblowing techniques, following a demonstration, in order to turn molten glass into an undamaged glass float at least 4 inches in diameter. Once the judge is satisfied with their work, he would give teams a puzzle piece.

**Wilted:** "No one else is here. So either we're first or they all went somewhere else."

**Alex:** "We choose you to be our instructor."

**Abe:** "There's the box."

Micky & Abe arrive at their first task, Glass.

**Micky:** "We're making glass. Alex & Wilted are here."

**Wilted:** "Ghost Town is here as well."

**Alex:** "Focus."

**Instructor:** "So I'm going to get a little bit of glass and we'll work through the process."

**Alex:** "This place looks awesome."

**Abe:** "Hello, we'd like to make these."

**Instructor:** "Right this way."

**Wilted:** "Whoa."

**Instructor:** "We go in the color, we want to stop, press down a little bit. Lift, turn."

(cf) **Alex:** "The guy made that looks easy. But we could tell it would be anything but."

**Abe:** "It's hot. I need to be careful."

**Brittnee:** "I see the box."

Iconic & Brittnee arrive at their first task, Grab.

**Iconic:** "Let's see what we're doing."

**Grab:** Teams must learn and perform a flying trapeze move known as a "knee catch". If both team members could successfully pull off the move, teams would receive a puzzle piece.

**Iconic:** "Woo! We're gonna be in the circus!"

**Brittnee:** "This was made for us!"

**Instructor:** "So you grab on like this."

(cf) **Iconic:** "We both felt pretty good about this challenge and no one else is here. If we're gonna get a lead, now's the time!"

**Brittnee:** "A few practices and we'll be ready for it."

**Wilted:** "We're working with molten glass so we need to keep rolling it."

**Micky:** "So I heat it like this?"

**Alex:** "We have to get out of here before them. This looks good. Let's start blowing."

**Wilted:** "There's a hole in the iron rod. That must be how they do it."

**Alex:** "We're getting nothing."

**Wilted:** "It must not have been in there long enough."

**Micky:** "Blow harder!"

**Abe:** "That's as good as it's gonna get. We need to stick it in longer."

**Micky:** "Shoot!"

**Alex:** "Careful, it's falling."

**Iconic:** "Alright. I'm ready."

**Brittnee:** "You got it!"

Iconic 1st attempt.

**Iconic:** "THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE!"

**Brittnee:** "My turn!"

Brittnee 1st attempt.

**Brittnee:** "NO!"

**Iconic:** "Legs go up on the way down!"

**Brittnee:** "I got it. I just need to look again."

**Alex:** "It's getting too long when we do it that way."

**Wilted:** "They look like they're close."

**Micky:** "Keep rolling it."

**Abe:** "Rocking and rolling."

**Micky:** "Not too much. Just enough to not break it. We're ready to try it."

**Abe:** "Why is that not coming off?"

**Micky:** "Harder maybe?"

**Abe:** "Shoot! I hit it too hard."

**Alex:** "They have to start again. We've got this."

**Brittnee:** "No!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "I am feeling the pressure. I've missed twice now. We cannot lose this chance!"

**Wilted:** "What are we doing wrong?"

**Instructor:** "Heat is your friend here. Use the heat."

**Abe:** "Alright, this one looks good."

**Micky:** "Break it off. There we are!"

**Instructor:** "Let's see if it's big enough."

**Wilted:** "Did they just get it?"

**Instructor:** "No, not quite."

**Abe:** "Oh, come on!"

(cf) **Abe:** "All we had to do was blow a little longer and we would've been done right there. That is as frustrating as it gets! One little thing!"

**Brittnee:** "I've got it this time."

**Iconic:** "We have no idea where the other teams are. I'm sure they started with other things."

Brittnee 3rd attempt.

**Brittnee:** "UGH! I JUST MISSED IT!"

**Iconic:** "DON'T GIVE UP!! THAT WAS CLOSER!"

**Brittnee:** "I'll get it. I have to!"

**Abe:** "We're starting from scratch."

**Alex:** "Wait until it cools off then try it again."

**Micky:** "This might do it."

**Alex:** "Keep blowing in it."

**Wilted:** "I think that's big enough."

**Abe:** "No way that passes."

**Alex:** "Just gotta get it off."

**Wilted:** "There we go. Is this good?"

**Instructor:** "Yes."

Alex & Wilted complete Glass and have 1 of 3 pieces.

**Alex:** "It looks like a plane but without wings."

**Wilted:** "We know we're ahead of Ghost Town, we're not sure about Iconic & Brittnee."

**Alex:** "They're almost done I think so we need to hurry!"

**Abe:** "This is the one. Just need to get it off."

**Micky:** "NO!"

**Abe:** "Oh my gosh. That one hurts."

(cf) **Abe:** "We saw Alex & Wilted leave. We knew we had some catching up to go."

Brittnee 5th attempt.

**Brittnee:** "Yes!"

**Iconic:** "Woo!"

Iconic & Brittnee complete Grab and have 1 of 3 pieces.

**Iconic:** "Let's go here next."

**Brittnee:** "Alright."

**Abe:** "This is the one. Come on!"

**Micky:** "There we go!"

Micky & Abe complete Glass and have 1 of 3 pieces.

**Abe:** "We're sticking to our order so this is our next stop."

**Iconic:** "We have two more pieces to go. We assume the other two teams went somewhere else. So we have no idea what place we're in."

**Brittnee:** "Neither does anyone else."

**Alex:** "We just need to stay ahead of Micky & Abe. Maybe we'll see Iconic & Brittnee somewhere."

**Micky:** "These red lights are killing me."

**Abe:** "I know where we're going but boy these things are annoying!"

**Alex:** "Stop! There's the clue box."

Alex & Wilted arrive at their second task, Grunge.

**Grunge:** Teams must become roadies and, using a provided diagram as reference, set up a stage for a grunge band. Once their stage is correctly assembled, the band would perform a sound check before giving teams a puzzle piece.

**Alex:** "Alright. Let's take The Black Tones."

**Wilted:** "This is bad. This feels like one of those Abe tasks so we need to knock this out."

**Alex:** "We've got power here. Another power here."

**Wilted:** "Our stuff is outside. These say The Black Tones."

**Alex:** "That's us."

**Abe:** "We're about five minutes behind Alex & Wilt-there it is!"

Micky & Abe arrive at their second task, Grunge.

**Micky:** "Which one do you want?"

**Abe:** "We'll take Smokey Brights."

**Wilted:** "There they are. We need to move!"

**Wilted:** "I saw them!"

**Abe:** "Alright, so we need to go outside and get all the Smokey Bright stuff."

**Iconic:** "We're almost there. Just another block to go."

**Abe:** "We've got all our stuff in here. We just need to set up now."

(cf) **Abe:** "Usually, people are roadies for me so now it's time to see if I've learned anything from them."

**Micky:** "We just have to follow the diagram."

**Wilted:** "Get the guitars set up here."

**Alex:** "So far, so good."

**Iconic:** "I see it. Everyone else is here."

Iconic & Brittnee arrive at their second task, Grunge.

**Brittnee:** "We're La Fonda."

(cf) **Iconic:** "In our first season, our final task was to set up a drum kit so we felt good about doing another stage setting task."

**Brittnee:** "I think this is the stuff right here."

**Iconic:** "Good eye. Let's take it in."

**Wilted:** "Get the piano set up. I got these amps."

**Abe:** "This blue cable is for that guitar, get the red for the bass."

**Brittnee:** "Everyone is here which is good since their first task was closer."

**Wilted:** "Yellow is for that one. We need something shaped like this."

(cf) **Alex:** "Everyone was working hard, trying to get their bands ready before anyone else."

**Brittnee:** "Let's get the band's banner up here."

**Abe:** "Now this is what you call a battle of the bands."

**Alex:** "We're almost there. We just need to find this unit."

**Abe:** "Micky, we have a problem. I am not seeing a unit that goes on this amp. We might've left something outside."

**Wilted:** "Where's that unit?"

**Alex:** "I have no idea."

**Wilted:** "I feel like it's here somewhere."

**Iconic:** "Now plug the piano into there. We just need the guitars now."

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

**Abe:** "Ugh! We're so close but this unit is killing us!"

**Alex:** "This is our last thing for sure. We just can't find it."

**Brittnee:** "We have everything done except this. Something goes on that top left amp."

**Iconic:** "We need to find that."

**Abe:** "Micky, I found it. It was part of the top of the amp."

**Iconic:** "Ghost Town used that amp to get it."

**Micky:** "Crap. The girls saw us do that!"

**Abe:** "How?! Anyways. Check!"

**Judge:** "No."

**Abe:** "Ok, check every little thing. Did you plug the guitars in right?

**Micky:** "All the colors are right."

**Abe:** "Wait, we're missing power cords for the amps."

**Micky:** "Where would those be?"

**Abe:** "Normally in the back on some. A ha. Here's one."

**Micky:** "We still need another one."

**Iconic:** "Check?"

**Judge:** "No."

**Brittnee:** "We're close. It has to be something small."

**Wilted:** "They found their units. Where did they get those?"

**Alex:** "I have no idea."

(cf) **Iconic:** "We could see Alex & Wilted lifting the top of the amp with the unit and missing it! So we knew we had a chance to overtake them here."

**Abe:** "Micky, I got it. It was in that same amp. This should do it. Check?"

**Judge:** "Smokey Bright, sound check time. Let's go!"

**Abe:** "Yes!"

**Wilted:** "They got it. Shoot!"

**Abe:** "Oh, the band is coming out. Let's rock!"

Smokey Brights perform.

(cf) **Abe:** "I was at home in that task. Once we got it set up, it was just another night of rocking out!"

**Micky:** "Thank you!"

Micky & Abe complete Grunge and have 2 of 3 pieces.

**Abe:** "Two down, one to go."

**Micky:** "Alright. Get us to the last one."

**Alex:** "Hey, they've got their thing. Where did they get that?!"

**Iconic:** "Check?"

**Judge:** "No."

**Brittnee:** "Wait, we're missing a cable."

**Iconic:** "Oh, it was on that amp."

**Brittnee:** "Get that one in. Check?"

**Judge:** "La Fonda, sound check time. Let's go!"

**Iconic:** "There we go!"

La Fonda performs.

(cf) **Brittnee:** "Knowing that we did that work so they could play was a boss move on us. Now we can do our next thing which was pretty close."

Iconic & Brittnee complete Grunge and have 2 of 3 pieces.

**Wilted:** "Now we're last..."

(cf) **Alex:** "Once they finished, we knew we had to pick it up. If we can't find this unit, our race is over."

**Iconic:** "This shouldn't be too far away. We just need to get there and get our last piece."

**Brittnee:** "I feel good about our choices. They have a longer drive to get to their last one."

**Abe:** "I've got it on the map. I am hoping that whatever is after this last task here is closer to this than the Glass thing."

**Alex:** "Wilted..."

**Wilted:** "What is it?"

**Alex:** "It was here the entire time!"

**Wilted:** "How many times did we look there?!"

**Alex:** "Check?"

**Judge:** "Black Tones, sound check time. Let's go!"

**Wilted:** "There we go!"

The Black Tones perform.

(cf) **Wilted:** "At least we got some music out of it. But now we know we have to make up some time."

Alex & Wilted complete Grunge and have 2 of 3 pieces.

**Alex:** "Grab is our last one which Ghost Town is heading to as well. Iconic & Brittnee don't have as far to drive so we need to knock this out as fast as we can."

**Wilted:** "It better be something Ghost Town sucks at."

**Brittnee:** "There it is."

Iconic & Brittnee arrive at their third task, Glass.

**Iconic:** "We want you."

**Instructor:** "You want heat. Heat is your friend."

**Brittnee:** "So all we do is make a glass float. Let's go it."

**Iconic:** "So it goes in there, and we spin it."

**Abe:** "Micky, I see the box."

Micky & Abe arrive at their third task, Grab.

**Abe:** "There was a time when I was a gymnast but that was when I was like 5. We'll see if I remember anything."

**Micky:** "Let's hope."

**Brittnee:** "Ugh! It didn't come out right. I don't think it was hot enough."

**Iconic:** "We'll try it again."

**Abe:** "Alright. More heights which I love. Let's get this over with."

Abe 1st attempt.

**Abe:** "Crap!"

**Micky:** "Alex & Wilted are not here yet. We need to do this before they arrive."

Micky 1st attempt.

**Micky:** "Dang it!"

**Alex:** "I see the box!"

Alex & Wilted arrive at their third task, Grab.

**Wilted:** "They're still here."

**Alex:** "If they screw this up, we have a shot."

**Abe:** "Let's try this again."

Abe 2nd attempt.

**Abe:** "Yes! Forget what you know about P. T. Barnum, I'm the greatest showman!"

**Alex:** "And this is how many attempts?"

Micky 2nd attempt.

**Micky:** "Dang it!"

**Wilted:** "Micky sucked from what I saw. You're great alright."

**Abe:** "You're about to suck in a minute."

**Alex:** "Here we go."

**Iconic:** "Almost there. Just need it to cool off."

Alex 1st attempt.

**Alex:** "Boom! Wilted, get this and we leave!"

Wilted 1st attempt.

**Wilted:** "No!"

**Abe:** "You suck!"

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

Micky 3rd attempt.

**Micky:** "UGH!"

**Abe:** "Do not get frazzled!"

**Micky:** "I know."

**Brittnee:** "Blow, blow. Stop. This looks good."

**Iconic:** "Now to get it off. Boom. Now how does it look?"

**Instructor:** "Good."

**Iconic:** "Yes!"

**Brittnee:** "Woo!"

Iconic & Brittnee complete Glass and have 3 of 3 pieces.

Iconic & Brittnee complete the scramble currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must assemble all their puzzle pieces, which would be in the shape of a model seaplane. Teams must then drive themselves to the address provided on the model seaplane, Kenmore Air Harbor, where they would find their next clue.

**Brittnee:** "We did that pretty fast. We might be in the lead!"

**Iconic:** "So we're going to 6321 NE 176th Street. In Kenmore, Washington."

Wilted 2nd attempt.

**Wilted:** "Done!"

**Alex:** "Got em! Let's go!"

Alex & Wilted complete Grab and have 3 of 3 pieces.

Alex & Wilted complete the scramble currently in 2nd place.

**Abe:** "Come on, Micky. Let's go!"

**Micky:** "Come on. Get it this time.

Micky 4th attempt.

**Micky:** "Got it!"

**Abe:** "Nice!"

Micky & Abe complete Grab and have 3 of 3 pieces.

Micky & Abe complete the scramble currently in Last place.

**Abe:** "They just left not too long ago so we're still in this."

**Wilted:** "I hope we picked the right order to do these in. Otherwise Iconic & Brittnee will have an advantage."

**Brittnee:** "I guess we'll find out who was right and who was wrong."

**Iconic:** "This is for the grand championship so we need to beat them."

**Wilted:** "That title being on the line makes this even more stressful."

**Micky:** "I hope this is the right way. We know what's at stake so we need to win."

**Alex:** "That's the building. Clue box!"

**Roadblock:** "*Who's got the mind of a champion?*"
The team member who did not walk on the Space Needle must arrange kayaks with the **Roadblock** prompts and **Detour** choices from all 12 legs in chronological order on storage racks and place kayak paddles displaying each country on the associated racks. Once they have placed all the kayaks and paddles in the correct order, they would receive their next clue.

Alex is doing the second RB.

**Alex:** "Just like we thought. It's memory. And it looks like we're the first ones here. Better move fast!"

**Wilted:** "This is great. Alex knows this stuff so she should knock this out."

**Alex:** "Frog of Luck was Leg 2. I think Prayer went with that one."

**Wilted:** "No one else is here yet so we need to use this head start."

**Alex:** "Both Melon tasks were Paraguay, that was leg 6."

**Iconic:** "I see it."

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

Brittnee is doing the second RB.

Abe is doing the second RB.

**Micky:** "Whoa. All three teams are here now."

**Abe:** "Fall and Find were in Dubai. I believe that was leg 4."

**Brittnee:** "Who's ready to get paddled? That was the very first thing we did."

**Alex:** "I might as well do the four from this leg now."

**Brittnee:** "Uh oh. I am not sure what these are. I never saw Great Khan's Spy on anything."

**Abe:** "I don't remember seeing a roadblock with Who has a knack for sliding things into place?."

(cf) **Alex:** "It dawned on me that those two teams used Fast Forwards at one point in time. I remember each one warning us to think about our future so this must be it. Since they skipped some tasks, they didn't see those clues. Which gives me an advantage!"

**Alex:** "Honked off is leg 5."

**Abe:** "Ship or Skip is 100% leg 9."

(cf) **Abe:** "Those things were heavy! So it was not only mental, it was also physical. I don't want a repeat of season 10 so I need to work!"

**Brittnee:** "We did the Waffle thing in Belgium."

**Iconic:** "This is what the finals are made of. All three of them are on the move!"

**Alex:** "I've got one here that says Who wants to play with the ponies but I don't remember ever playing with ponies. I am stuck on that one."

**Abe:** "I remember Ponies being leg 10 since I commented on the car thing."

**Brittnee:** "Who can feel the beat? That was leg 4."

**Abe:** "Oh, you know what. I know what it was. We did the Fast Forward that leg so we never saw the other clues. That's probably where Camp and Cream go. That's why every Fast Forward said think about the future. We would have extra guessing to do here."

**Alex:** "Shoot it and Boot it were leg 11."

**Brittnee:** "I've got two here that are super similar. One says Who's ready to take a few steps back in time? And the other says Who wants to go back a thousand years in time? And I'm not sure which goes where."

**Abe:** "Tubing was the first roadblock I did."

**Alex:** "The time ones are tripping me up."

**Brittnee:** "Feel at home must've been leg 3. We never saw those tasks since we skipped them with the Fast Forward. I guess that's what that warning was for."

(cf) **Iconic:** "These are teams who have studied this stuff. We've all won before so it's probably coming down to speed. I could see this being over sooner than we think."

**Alex:** "I'm almost done. I just have have clowning around which was also leg 5."

**Abe:** "Pick sunflowers was leg 9."

**Brittnee:** "Who's feeling instrumental was leg 6. That's my last one."

(cf) **Brittnee:** "I place all my kayaks, now I need to put the countries up. The whole race is in my hands now. I can't let Iconic down now!"

**Alex:** "So China, then Japan, Kazakhstan was after that, then the United Arab Emirates."

**Brittnee:** "Colombia, Paraguay, I believe Morocco was after that."

**Abe:** "Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium, England.

**Alex:** "Wales, Ireland and the U.S. There! Check?"

**Judge:** "No."

**Alex:** "Shoot! Ok Alex, what's the problem?"

**Abe:** "Check!"

**Judge:** "No."

**Abe:** "Shoot! I need to look at everything again."

**Brittnee:** "They got rejected. Now's my chance. Check!"

**Judge:** "No."

**Brittnee:** "Do I have Wales on the wrong rack? Maybe that's what it was. Check?"

**Judge:** "No."

**Brittnee:** "What is it?"

(cf) **Alex:** "I remember not knowing for sure if I had the Ireland roadblocks in order so I tried switching those."

**Alex:** "Check?"

**Judge:** "No."

**Alex:** "Dang."

**Abe:** "I'm not sure. Everything looks right."

(cf) **Abe:** "I felt stuck. Everything looks right but I still got rejected. I need to figure out what's wrong before someone finishes."

**Wilted:** "Ugh! I can't take this! Come on Alex!"

**Micky:** "Stay focused Abe!"

**Iconic:** "You got it Brittnee!"

(cf) **Alex:** "It had to be one little thing I am not seeing. I am so close, I can taste it. I've got to figure this out before either of those two do."

**Alex:** "Let me try this. Check?"

**Judge:** "No."

**Alex:** "Come on! Wait. When did I put England and Wales in that order? I think I got it this time. Check?"

**Judge:** "No."

**Alex:** "Come on!"

**Brittnee:** "New plan. What's right and what's wrong?"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "My strategy now is to do a process of elimination. I am ignoring all the ones I know are right in order to try and spot something that could be changed."

**Brittnee:** "I don't know. I'll try switching these two around. Maybe the roadblock came first? No that can't be it. I know we started with a roadblock in Paraguay."

**Abe:** "I can't make any sense of this. Every detour feels and looks right."

(cf) **Abe:** "One thing BB6 has taught me is no matter how confident you feel in your answers, double check them anyways. The one thing I was the most confident in during that veto was the one thing I had wrong. So I need to do that here."

**Abe:** "Maybe... Of course! I've been wrong looking for incorrect detours all this time. There were two roadblock I wasn't sure on. The time roadblocks from Japan and Denmark. I'll try switching those."

**Alex:** "I'm going to look at this whole thing again."

(cf) **Alex:** "As I'm looking, I am erasing any idea of what I feel is right in order to spot something off. I know I am racing against the clock so I need to knock this out."

**Brittnee:** "I might have an idea. No that can't be it either."

(cf) **Brittnee:** "I keep reminding myself what all I am racing for and why I need to finish. It has to be one thing and I've ruled out a lot of possibilities. There's only one thing it can be."

**Abe:** "I've made the switch. If it's not this, I don't know what it is. Check?"

**Judge:** "Yes."

**Abe:** "YES!"

Abe finishes the second RB currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must make their way to Clise Mansion and cross the **Finish Line**.

**Phil:** "Along the way, these 9 teams were eliminated. But the first team to cross the finish line will win four million dollars, the title of grand champions, and the amazing race."

**Abe:** "This is it, the finish line. GO GO GO!"

**Micky:** "Hurry!"

**Alex:** "Wait, I see it. Step back was Denmark and the other one was Japan. Check?"

**Judge:** "Yes."

**Abe:** "BASE!"

Micky & Abe cross the finish line!

5 continents, 13 countries, and more than 35,000 miles! Micky & Abe, I am pleased to tell you that you are the official winners of The Amazing Race! And you have won the four million dollars! And you are the Grand Champions! Congratulations!

**Abe:** "Yes!"

**Micky:** "Wow, just wow!"

**Phil:** "How does it feel being here not just as winners, but our Grand Champions?"

**Micky:** "Coming into this race, I didn't know if I still had it after what happened last season. But as the race went along, I felt better and better about everything and here we are. I couldn't be more proud!"

**Phil:** "And Abe, this is your third time here as a winner. What makes this one different from the rest?"

**Abe:** "Well, the title and money for starters. But also, much like Micky, I too had a bad season before where I blew it by a navigation mistake. I said at the time that this happened to me in BLT and I came back and won the very next time but I said that more as a coping mechanism, not because I believed it. But it happened and it feels good to have our names on that record."

**Phil:** "That's right. You have moved into a tie for the most legs won in a season with six."

**Micky:** "This race is an easy favorite for me because it refreshed my enjoyment of it. I am proud of everything we've done here."

(cf) **Abe:** "The biggest thing I've learned in all of this is I need to focus on myself. This is my last time running this race and it couldn't have ended in a better way for us."

**Phil:** "How about it for our Grand Champions!"

Other teams clap.

**Iconic:** "WOO!"

**Brittnee:** "YAY!"

Iconic & Brittnee, well fought to the very end. You are officially team number 2.

**Brittnee:** "Well, we did pass one team. Three finals, three top two placements. I'm special!"

**Iconic:** "I still can't believe that fresh off of winning last season, we got to this point again. And while we fell short this time. I had a blast!"

(cf) **Iconic:** "We represented our girls well and did them proud I hope. This was by far the hardest thing I have ever done. And I did it with my girl so I'm proud!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "My time here in this race was special for many reasons. The people, the places, and the competition. You have to take everything in and enjoy it. I'm grateful for this whole thing and I'm ready to do it again!"

**Wilted:** "Yep. We missed the sign. That might've done it for us."

**Alex:** "Over there!"

**Wilted:** "Here we come!"

Alex & Wilted, after a well fought race, you are officially team number 3.

**Abe:** "So I got the last laugh after all."

**Alex:** "But you didn't eliminate us."

**Abe:** "Fair enough. I'll give credit where it's due, y'all pushed us to be our best."

**Alex:** "I suppose we could say the same. At least Asia & Jojo didn't win."

**Asia:** "JEALOUS!"

**Everyone:** "Shut up!"

**Wilted:** "It sucks now that we share the record with these two, but I guess we have to say at least we still have it."

**Alex:** "This race tested how well rivals can work together several times over. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't but we always had to figure it out."

(cf) **Wilted:** "When the dust settles, I remember the good times and just how feared we really were. We didn't give any teams the time of day and we stood our ground. That's why we did as well as we did."

(cf) **Alex:** "This is by far the hardest race I've ran. I'm proud to say we've survived every little thing this race threw at us and we're better people for it. I have no regrets other than not winning of course."

**Phil:** "Come on up!"

(cf) **Micky:** "It started as two strangers teaming up in TSM, then teaming up again for the race. And it turned into something I will never forget."

(cf) **Abe:** "I got everything I wanted out of this race. I made new friends, proved I still got it, and we are the grand champions! I would sing that Queen song if not for copyright. Thank you everyone for making this one fun!"

**Phil:** "Let's hear it for our line-up of champions! And our Grand Champions!"

Camera fades.

Since the previous leg was a no-rest leg, teams immediately departed from the **Pit Stop** to continue racing. Teams must fly to Dublin, Ireland. Upon arrival, teams will be taken to Saint Patrick's Cathedral where they would meet host **Phil Keoghan**.

 At Saint Patrick's Cathedral, teams were informed that they would be performing a **City Sprint** across Dublin, meaning that they would encounter two **Roadblock**s that they must pick before the they leave. They were then informed that their next clue was inside the Cathedral.

 Teams were told to search inside Saint Patrick's Cathedral for a clue, leaving them to figure out they were looking for a Travelocity roaming gnome. Once found, they must drive themselves to Castle Park School, then search for Forty Foot along Dublin Bay at Sandycove and swim out to a marked buoy in the Irish Sea to retrieve their next clue. Teams must carry the gnome with them for the remainder of Phase 1.

 At Castle Park School, Asia & Jojo would receive their clue for their **Speed Bump**.
Asia & Jojo must swim the length of the pool inside Castle Park School before they can continue racing.

 Teams must drive themselves to Gaiety Theatre, where they would find their next clue.

 "*Who wants to get their steps in?*"

The team member assigned to this Roadblock must learn a 30-second Irish stepdance routine from *Riverdance*. Once they have performed the routine to the judge, *Riverdance* executive producer and associate director Padraic Moyles' satisfaction, he would give them one half of their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

* Alex & Wilted
* Asia & Jojo
* Iconic & Brittnee
* Micky & Abe
 Non-participating team members must drive themselves to Croke Park, where they would find their next clue at the top of the stadium.

 "*Who's got the swing?*"

The team member assigned to this Roadblock must perform a hurling drill, which involved completing and catching a pass, then hit the ball with a paddle through the end goal above the crossbar to score a point. Once they have successfully performed the drill from start to finish, they would receive one half of their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

* Alex & Wilted
* Asia & Jojo
* Iconic & Brittnee
* Micky & Abe
 Teams must drive themselves to Toner's Pub, where each team member must memorize and recite one of two passages from James Joyce's *Ulysses*. If each team member could recite their selected passage perfectly, they would receive their next clue.

 Teams must make their way on foot back to Saint Patrick's Cathedral to get their next clue from **Phil** and start Phase 2.

This also served as an elimination point, in which the fourth team to arrive would be eliminated.

Asia & Jojo arrived last and were eliminated. Teams must fly to Seattle, Washington, United States. Upon arrival, teams must choose a marked car with a miniature souvenir Space Needle on the dashboard and were left to figure out that they had to drive there in order to find their next clue.

 "*Who can walk the walk?*"

The team member assigned to this Roadblock would be harnessed and must walk around the sloped rim of the Space Needle, 500 feet above the ground, to retrieve their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

* Alex & Wilted
* Iconic & Brittnee
* Micky & Abe
 Teams must return to the entrance of the Space Needle and search for a man wearing a tie in Race colors, who would direct them to a marked path to Chihuly Garden and Glass, where they would find their next clue.

 At Chihuly Garden and Glass, teams encountered the **Scramble**. Teams were told the locations of all three tasks, which were inspired by the Seattle art scene, that they could complete in any order. For each task completed, teams would receive a puzzle piece. When all three were received, they would be combined to form a clue that would reveal the location of their next clue. The locations of each task, which teams must drive themselves to, were as follows:

- **Grunge** at The Showbox;

- **Grab** at the Emerald City Trapeze Arts;

- **Glass** at the Seattle Glassblowing Studio
 Teams must become roadies and, using a provided diagram as reference, set up a stage for a grunge band. These are the teams' selected the bands and have to perform at the stage:

* Micky & Abe: Smokey Brights
* Iconic & Brittnee: La Fonda
* Alex & Wilted: The Black Tones

Once their stage is correctly assembled, the band would perform a sound check before giving teams a puzzle piece. Teams must learn and perform a flying trapeze move known as a "knee catch". If both team members could successfully pull off the move, teams would receive a puzzle piece.

 Teams must use glassblowing techniques, following a demonstration, in order to turn molten glass into an undamaged glass float at least 4 inches in diameter. Once the judge is satisfied with their work, he would give teams a puzzle piece.

 Teams must assemble all their puzzle pieces, which would be in the shape of a model seaplane. Teams must then drive themselves to the address provided on the model seaplane, Kenmore Air Harbor, where they would find their next clue.

 "*Who's got the mind of a champion?*"

The team member who sat out of the previous Roadblock must arrange kayaks with the **Roadblock** prompts and **Detour** choices from all 12 legs in chronological order on storage racks and place kayak paddles displaying each country on the associated racks. Once they have placed all the kayaks and paddles in the correct order, they would receive their next clue.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

* Alex & Wilted
* Iconic & Brittnee
* Micky & Abe
 Teams must make their way to Clise Mansion and cross the **Finish Line**.
