"Vroom Vroom"

**"Vroom Vroom"** is the tenth episode of Sleepy's Amazing Race 5.

## Story

* Because the previous leg was a No Rest Leg, there is no rest period and teams continue racing as soon as they reach the Pit Stop of the previous leg. Can Lavender and Casey maintain the lead they've held for the past two legs? Can Willow and Tad catch up despite being hours behind all the other teams? Can underdogs Shiloh and Jo somehow manage to stay in for another leg?
* Lavender and Casey reach the Roadblock and get started. This Roadblock proves difficult for Lavender, as Quinn and June, Victor and Athena, and Shiloh and Jo arrive before she finishes. Victor and Athena and Shiloh and Jo even finish before her, while Quinn has a bit of trouble.
* Victor and Athena and, surprisingly, Shiloh and Jo become the frontrunners of the leg, reaching the Detour first and finishing it in good time. Lavender and Quinn have trouble with the Roadblock, losing enough time that Willow and Tad get started on it right after the other two teams finish.
* Shiloh and Jo get lost, allowing Victor and Athena to pass them and easily maintain their lead for the rest of the leg, winning their fourth leg.
* Quinn and June finish the Detour quickly and catch up to Shiloh and Jo. Lavender and Casey have a tough time at the Detour, allowing Willow and Tad to catch up with them.
* Eventually, it comes down to a race between Lavender and Casey and Willow and Tad to avoid last place. Miraculously, Willow and Tad are able to overcome their massive deficit from the previous leg and survive in fourth place. Shockingly, Lavender and Casey end their winning streak, and are eliminated in 5th place.
* Lavender and Casey talk about how excited they are to have been on The Race and how honored they are to have been considered frontrunners for a time. They also mention that they'll hopefully get to see more of the world someday.
