## Story

Leg 7 (Based off Leg 8a of The Amazing Race 32)

The race resumes at Campo San Vio.

Cloud & Abe will depart 1st.

**Route Info:** Teams must fly to Hyderabad, India. Upon arrival, they must make their way to Multi Cuisine Restaurant at Sagar Ring Road, where they would find their next clue.

**Abe:** "We’ve got two alliances with Getsome & Sarah and Clara & Ashley. To my knowledge, neither team is aware that we are working with the other. Ashley hates both of those guys so that plays a part in that."

**Bash:** "We need a plan."

**Alex:** "The easy thing to do is this. Since Cloud & Abe have Clara & Ashley and Getsome & Sarah, we can get Halcy & Pie since they U-Turned them."

**Phorix:** "Sounds like a plan."

(cf) **Phorix:** "I’ve worked with Abe in Survivor 6, but you have to be adaptable to win so that’s what I have to do."

**Wilted:** "Yo."

**Pie:** "What is it?"

**Wilted:** "We have a problem. Cloud & Abe have been feeding the other two teams info in order to pick us three teams off."

**Halcy:** "What?!"

**Wilted:** "Yeah. So we were wondering if you wanted to join us and Bash & Phorix to create a counter alliance."

**Pie:** "Alright, we’re in."

(cf) **Alex:** "The stage is set. It’s a 3v3 now in this race. It’s the Alex & Wilted side vs the Cloud & Abe side. It might as well be named after us since we created it and, honestly, control it."

**Bash:** "All of us united should be able to knock those three out."

(cf) **Abe:** "We're heading for India. The same country where Alex & Wilted stole first place in Rivals which pretty much started our beef. This time will be different. If I get a chance to screw them over, I will happily do it."

All teams are on the same flight.

Flight lands.

**Pie:** "Fast fast fast!"

**Clara:** "Beat them! Beat them!"

All teams reach the next clue.

**Route info:** Teams must join a mobile smog-testing station and smog test three auto rickshaws, including entering the vehicle's information into the station's computer and inserting the measuring device into the vehicle's exhaust port. Once they have smog tested three auto rickshaws, they would receive their next clue.

**Phorix:** "Rickshaw!"

**Getsome:** "Everyone got here at the same time. It’s a mad dash for these rickshaws."

**Wilted:** "Tuk tuk!"

**Sarah:** "I got one. NO! I LOST IT!"

(cf) **Abe:** "I heard other teams calling Tuk tuk. I knew that the proper name here was Auto so we had a leg up."

**Abe:** "Auto!"

**Cloud:** "Here comes one!"

**Alex:** "Listen, Abe is calling out "auto." We need to say that instead."

(cf) **Wilted:** "We noticed that Cloud & Abe only help teams after they finish any given task so our strategy was to get our whole alliance finished before anyone from the other side is."

**Alex:** "Halcy, call them autos!"

**Halcy:** "Ok, auto!

**Clara:** "Tuk tuk!"

**Ashley:** "Tuk tuk!"

**Clara:** "GET YOUR BUTTS OVER HERE!"

**Bash:** "Auto!"

**Phorix:** "Alex & Wilted helped us out there."

**Bash:** "Enter the info."

**Abe:** "We need all the info to process."

**Alex:** "Alright, that’s one."

**Abe:** "One down, two to go."

**Bash:** "Got our first one."

**Getsome:** "Come on!"

**Sarah:** "I think I got one."

**Getsome:** "Get in! We’ll guide him there."

**Pie:** "First one done!"

**Clara:** "Finally! Get it checked!"

**Abe:** "Here comes another one!"

**Alex:** "That’s two!"

**Halcy:** "Got our second one!"

**Wilted:** "Let’s go over here!"

**Clara:** "What are they doing?!"

**Ashley:** "They’re getting more than one."

**Clara:** "Can they even do that?!"

**Ashley:** "The clue doesn’t say not to. We need to try that."

**Getsome:** "We just finished our first one."

**Cloud:** "Alright, one more."

(cf) **Wilted:** "We were on our last rickshaw so we grabbed one for ourselves and a few for Bash & Phorix and Halcy & Pie."

**Bash:** "Auto!"

**Alex:** "Take these and use them."

**Phorix:** "Thanks!"

**Pie:** "Come on, we need one more!"

**Wilted:** "Like this one?"

**Halcy:** "Thanks. We got one, let’s go!"

**Alex:** "Almost got our last one done."

**Abe:** "I got one!"

**Bash:** "We’re close."

**Wilted:** "We’re done!"

They must first have their dispatcher guide them to a local restaurant to pick up three food orders, then have their dispatcher guide them to three locations to make their deliveries, making sure to have each customer sign a voucher. Once they have finished all three deliveries, they must return to The Platina to return the phones and exchange the vouchers for their next clue.

**Choice B:** *Number Trap*
Teams must make their way to T-Hub, where they must play a motion-controlled video game, capturing all of the highlighted ones and zeros on a screen to reveal a binary code.

**Ashley:** "Hello, I’m a Swiggy delivery person. I need to go to this address."
