## Story

Leg 6 (Based off Leg 6 of The Amazing Race 29)

The race resumes at Landhannes Farm.

Alex & Wilted will depart 1st.

**Route Info:** Teams must fly to Milan, Italy. Once there, they must take a charter bus to Venice. The first charter bus could carry the first three teams and would depart at 4:15 am, while the second charter bus could carry the last four teams and would depart at 4:30 am. Upon arrival, teams must take a water taxi to Piazza San Marco and find a *spazzino*, who would give teams their next clue.

**Caution: U-Turn Ahead!**

**Clara:** "Another one! We better not get U-Turned again. Bash & Phorix, what was that about!"

**Bash:** "Just game. But how did you guys survive?!"

**Ashley:** "We’re just that good at slaying."

**Sarah:** "Well, you guys U-Turend Peanut & Coby so that helped."

**Alex:** "I guess we have to deal with her for at least one more leg. But we still have our U-Turn."

**Abe:** "It’s the sixth leg so we have to use our express pass at some point."

**Halcy:** "I wonder who they gave the second express pass to?"

**Alex:** "It wasn’t us. That’s for sure."

All teams are on the same flight.

Flight lands.

**Wilted:** "Bus!"

**Ashley:** "Where are they!"

**Phorix:** "Over there!"

**Clara:** "Got it!"

Alex & Wilted are on bus #1.

**Wilted:** "Advantage."

Cloud & Abe are on bus #1.

**Cloud:** "That feels good."

**Bash:** "Over there!"

**Clara:** "GET IN!"

Clara & Ashley are on bus #1.

**Clara:** "YES! GET OUT OF HERE!"

**Ashley:** "That feels good."

**Phorix:** "That sucks. We’re now in the back."

**Charter Bus 1:** Alex & Wilted, Cloud & Abe, Clara & Ashley.

**Charter Bus 2:** Bash & Phorix, White & War, Halcy & Pie, Getsome & Sarah.

Both buses leave.

**Ashley:** "Thanks again for saving us back there."

**Cloud:** "No problem. I’m guessing you used it?"

**Clara:** "Correct."

(cf) **Alex:** "We overheard a conversation and figured out that Clara & Ashley had the other express pass. They used it last leg so now the only team that has one is Cloud & Abe and they have to use it this leg. This is useful info to have and we keeping this to ourselves."

**Halcy:** "Does anyone on this bus have the other express pass?"

**War:** "No, sadly."

**Phorix:** "If Clara & Ashley get to that U-Turn first, we’re screwed."

**Getsome:** "I don’t feel like we’re a threat to anyone so maybe we can slide under the radar."

**Sarah:** "That would be great."

Bus 1 arrives.

**Abe:** "We want to go to this place."

**Wilted:** "Very fast!"

**Ashley:** "Let’s go!"

**Alex:** "We’re hoping for our third win in a row to tie the record we already have."

**Cloud:** "We just need to play our hand right and we’ll get ahead."

**Clara:** "I’m thinking about our target for the U-Turn and nothing else."

Bus 2 arrives.

**White:** "Take us here please."

**Bash:** "Go here."

**Pie:** "We want to go here."

**Getsome:** "And we’re off!"

**Clara:** "Start looking around.What’s a spazzino?"

**Cloud:** "Over here maybe?"

**Alex:** "I see yellow and red on that guy’s broom."

Alex & Wilted find the clue currently in 1st place.

**Detour:** Sing It or Bring It?

**Choice A:** *Sing It*
Teams must make their way to Trattoria al Ponte del Megio, where they dress as gondoliers and learn a traditional Italian serenade, "La Biondina in Gondoleta". They must then board a gondola traveling on the Grand Canal and perform the song for a couple on the gondola. If the mandolin player is satisfied with their performance, they would receive their next clue.

**Choice B:** *Bring It*
Teams must make their way to Campiello del Remer, where they must pick up a stack of suitcases and become porters. They must stack the suitcases on a provided dolly, then navigate through the narrow alleyways and bridges of Venice to the hotel specified on the suitcases' tags. Once they have made the delivery, they would receive their next clue from the hotel's porter.

Alex & Wilted are doing Bring It.

**Abe:** "I saw that!"

Cloud & Abe are doing Sing It.

**Ashley:** "Where is it?"

**Wilted:** "How do we get to Campiello del Remer?"

**Abe:** "Do you know where Trattoria al Ponte del Megio is?"

**Local:** "It’s far on foot."

**Alex:** "How do we get there then?"

**Cloud:** "We need another water taxi."

**Abe:** "I see one over there."

**Getsome:** "Here’s the piazza."

**Sarah:** "Clara & Ashley are still here!"

**Clara:** "Great, now the teams from the second bus are here!"

**Bash:** "Search over there."

**White:** "There it is."

White & War are doing Bring It.

**Halcy:** "Where is it?"

**War:** "Over there."

**Pie:** "Thanks."

(cf) **Halcy:** "So far this alliance with White & War has benefited us so we want to keep them in as long as possible."

Halcy & Pie are doing Bring It.

(cf) **Ashley:** "With the U-Turn coming up, we knew we had to find this clue fast because we’ve already been U-Turned once."

**Clara:** "Bash & Phorix just got it!"

Bash & Phorix are doing Sing It.

Clara & Ashley are doing Sing It.

**Sarah:** "Clara yelled over there. It might be that guy."

Getsome & Sarah are doing Sing It.

**Alex:** "It’s no use. We can’t find this challenge anywhere."

Alex & Wilted switch detours.

**Wilted:** "This is super risky but a local knows where the other one is."

**Abe:** "There it is."

**Cloud:** "This outfit is smokin’ hot."

**Abe:** "Let’s go practice."

**Wilted:** "I see the suitcases!’"

**Alex:** "We’re back on track."

**Wilted:** "We took the long way here. There’s White & War."

**War:** "Look at all these!"

**Halcy:** "This could get rough."

**Cloud:** "Let’s try it."

Cloud & Abe try but fail.

**Abe:** "We were on pitch but the words are really tough."

**Phorix:** "There’s Cloud & Abe."

**Cloud:** "A lot of teams just showed up."

**Abe:** "We might as well use it now so we have control over the U-Turn."

**Alex:** "There they are. And they’re about to use their express pass!"

Cloud & Abe use their express pass currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must take a water taxi to Ca' Zenobio degli Armeni, where they would find their next clue.

**Cloud:** "This is the trickiest part."

**Ashley:** "Thanks."

**Abe:** "This note is a B so watch that."

**Sarah:** "Got it."

(cf) **Wilted:** "We saw Cloud & Abe helping out Getsome & Sarah and Clara & Ashley. It’s clear they want those teams in the finale. I wonder if they know that we figured it out?"

**Abe:** "Next stop, U-Turn. Now we need to figure out who to use it on. That is, if we’re gonna use it."

**Cloud:** "Look up there."

**Halcy:** "Are you with us?"

**White:** "Yes."

**Abe:** "I see. We’re not the only alliance in the race. I remember them working together in season 10 and it looks like they’re doing it again."

**Cloud:** "Something for us to think about."

**White:** "UGH! This is taking forever to find!"

**Pie:** "How did we get so lost!"

Clara & Ashley try but fail.

**Clara:** "What did we do wrong?!"

Bash & Phorix try but fail.

**Bash:** "This is harder than I thought it would be."

**Alex:** "We need to keep practicing and hopefully we can one shot it."

**Cloud:** "I see it."

**Abe:** "Do you wanna use it?"

(cf) **Cloud:** "In our last season, I was hesitant to use the U-Turn. This time, however, it’s a different story."

Cloud & Abe U-Turn Halcy & Pie.

**Abe:** "They hate us anyway so it’s not like we’re making new enemies."

**Roadblock:** One team member must choose an actor wearing a traditional Venetian mask from a performance of *Commedia dell'arte* and use the provided materials to replicate their mask. If they can successfully recreate their actor's mask to the artist's satisfaction, they would receive their next clue.

Abe is doing the RB.

**Abe:** "Uh oh, this is a Cloud Roadblock. Well, it’s a good thing we have that head start because I might need it."

**Cloud:** "Abe is not terrible at art, but I’m more into it than he is. Hopefully he can get this."

**Abe:** "This guy looks easy, I’ll go for it."

**War:** "Where is this hotel?"

**Local:** "I don’t know."

**Halcy:** "This sucks. We’ve been at this for who knows how long."

**Alex:** "Almost ready."

Getsome & Sarah try but fail.

**Getsome:** "Abe said that was a B so we need to hit that note."

Bash & Phorix try but fail.

**Wilted:** "Ready."

**Alex:** "Great, we have to wait for Getsome & Sarah."

**Sarah:** "Yes!"

**Wilted:** "Can you take us here?"

**Ashley:** "Sir, can I have your taxi?"

**Local:** "No. I am late for work as it is."

**Clara:** "GO GET FIRED THEN! WE HAVE A RACE TO WIN! GET OUT!"

**Ashley:** "There’s one over here."

**Clara:** "Good. What a loser!"

**Abe:** "I think I got it. Check?"

**Artist:** "No."

**Abe:** "I see what I did wrong. I forgot to add this shiny coat to it."

**Pie:** "I see it."

Halcy & Pie reach the U-Turn board.

**Halcy:** "WHAT! WHY!"

**Pie:** "Great. We probably should’ve rethought that fight we had with them."

**Halcy:** "Or just win the leg all together. I don’t see or hear any other teams so I don’t know what to do."

**Pie:** "We only have one option cause they’re the only team we know is behind us."

Halcy & Pie U-Turn White & War.

**Halcy:** "Sorry guys."

**Bash:** "Over there."

**Pie:** "There’s Bash & Phorix, we could’ve done them."

(cf) **Abe:** "After I told Cloud what I had to do, we wrote a note to Getsome & Sarah for when they got here and put it next to the clue box. It’s a masquerade party of our own, and we’re in charge of who comes."

**Halcy:** "Alright, let’s get this song over with before they get here."

**Ashley:** "How’s this?"

**Ashley:** "How?!"

**Artist:** "No."

**Alex:** "I think I’m done."

**Artist:** "No."

**Alex:** "What?! What did I do wrong?"

**Bash:** "Good?"

**Artist:** "No."

**Bash:** "UGH! I hate this."

**War:** "There’s the singing task."

**White:** "And the TRAITORS!"

**Pie:** "We didn’t know anyone else was behind us!"

Okay guys, I can check you in now. Getsome & Sarah, you are now team number 5.

**Getsome:** "Phew. I’ll have to be more careful in the future. I got too excited that we found something and didn’t remember to sit back."
