## Story

Leg 5 (Based off Leg 2 of The Amazing Race 32)

The race resumes at the Dubai Marina.

Micky & Abe will depart 1st.

**Route Info:** Teams must fly to Bogotá, Colombia. Upon arrival, teams would find their next clue outside El Dorado International Airport.

**Abe:** "How are you feeling now that we have a win?"

**Micky:** "I feel a little better now that we have an express pass but it's still too early to tell. Deep down there's still the idea that you're beyond your prime."

**Abe:** "This happened to me before in BLT when I got voted out. Then I won my very next season in dominant fashion so that tells me to keep playing."

(cf) **Abe:** "The truth is I'm not too sure myself if I'm still able to keep up but I have to keep Micky confident enough so we don't flame out over thinking about the past."

At the airport.

**Iconic:** "We are here waiting for our flight to Colombia. Everyone is on it so it's a mad dash once we land."

**Clara:** "On the last leg, I made a dumb mistake. I need to step up my game or we go home."

**Nemo:** "We were lucky. A head to head came into play and kept us from going home there."

**Clara:** "Let's just decide it's us vs them, not each other."

**Nemo:** "That would make me happy."

**Asia:** "Clara has no business being here after that head to head."

**Sarah:** "I thought you wanted War & Coolguy out."

**Asia:** "Clara's even worse. She should've been eliminated already. SHE DOES NOT EVEN DESERVE TO BE HERE!"

**Clara:** "HEY THAT'S MY LINE! DON'T BE USING MY ICONIC WORDS GIRL!"

**Jojo:** "Strategically it makes sense to uturn them for all the crap they say."

(cf) **Nemo:** "I've had to sit through hours of Jojo's "strategic" game in the Discord spin off, then Season 12, and now here. Hearing him makes me want to lose any hearing I have!"

**Jojo:** "That's the thing as well. Iconic & Brittnee are stirring up drama about Alex & Wilted."

**Halcy:** "Huh?"

(cf) **Ashley:** "If only Iconic & Brittnee heard this. Maybe they'd actually believe that we were trying to help them."

**Alex:** "Don't even try Jojo."

**Jojo:** "I wouldn't be saying that when you try hard that weave to make up for your baldness."

**Alex:** "HEY! You're in no position to talk crap about any weave!"

**Clara:** "GET OUT! NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE!"

**Alex:** "I agree with Clara. Wait... Did I just say that?"

**Cloud:** "My gosh. They're screwing with our heads."

**Abe:** "That's their whole game in a nutshell. To screw people's games using nonsense. And they still think it worked cause they won... by a twist I might add."

**Jojo:** "You had that very same twist save you before mr tree."

**Abe:** "At least I'm not going around telling everyone I'm the greatest thing that's ever walked this earth."

**Jojo:** "You'd be lying to yourself anyways. We all know no one cares about trees."

**Cloud:** "Can I just finish this drawing in peace?"

**Jojo:** "Go cry in your corner Cloud just like you did in all your other seasons!"

**Cloud:** "I've grown since then but it's that kind of attitude that causes people to feel bad about themselves!"

**Mega:** "We don't need drama over petty things. We want a clean race to represent ourselves well."

**Jojo:** "Too bad you don't have a strategic bone in your body."

**Nemo:** "YOU KNOW WHAT?! YOU'VE BEEN A THORN IN EVERYONE'S SIDE FROM DAY ONE! I DON'T EVEN CARE IF YOU'RE A WEAK TEAM WHICH YOU ARE, IF WE GET A CHANCE, WE WILL UTURN YOU!"

**Jojo:** "Oh, I'm so scared of a little fish with a bad fin."

**Nemo:** "IT'S BAD ENOUGH YOU PUT ME THROUGH TORTUE ON DISCORD, NOW YOU'RE DOING IT TO EVERYONE HERE! YOU'RE A TERRIBLE PERSON! YOU DESERVE TO GO HOME!"

**Jojo:** "Big talk from a team that has won only one leg in their whole career."

Getosme: "Hey guys! I found a Subway over here. Who wants to come?"

**Nemo:** "ME!"

**Micky:** "I'm game."

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

**Wilted:** "Yes, PLEASE!"

(cf) **Getsome:** "I've never loved Subway so much in my life. It just so happens that there was one in the airport so the teams that were still there were able to get away from Ragia & Bozo."

(cf) **Iconic:** "After Asia & Jojo started doing their thing, we ran to a near by candy store to get away from them. But then we see Halcy & Ashley there as well."

**Ashley:** "Can we get those two some Snicker's?"

**Halcy:** "A Snicker's won't fix someone if that's who they really are."

**Ashley:** "True."

**Halcy:** "Speaking of unfixable people, there's Iconic & Brittnee."

**Brittnee:** "I heard that. How are we "unfixable" to you? Cause we're not playing your game?"

**Halcy:** "We've tried helping you several times and all you did was scream at us AND vote for us to be uturned after lying to us. We have no reason to help you now."

**Iconic:** "You're such liars! I don't understand why you would ever help Asia & Jojo."

**Ashley:** "That's the problem with your logic... ASIA & JOJO!"

**Brittnee:** "Just get back to eating your skittles and stay out of our way."

(cf) **Brittnee:** "I don't get the obsession with us. Is it because we're strong women? Are they threatened by another female team doing well? Oh, we can't have that now can we?"

(cf) **Ashley:** "Still as petty as ever. I told Halcy this was a bad idea and now I'm losing my mind over these two. We were supposed to be real women and have other women's backs but NOPE! They're in it only for the money."

**Getsome:** "These subs are so good!"

**Alex:** "I'll say."

(cf) **Wilted:** "We're trying to get closer with Getsome & Sarah so we went to the very back table and enjoyed our meals like normal humans."

**Getsome:** "I've never understood the hate for you guys. We've always liked you even when we were on opposite sides"

**Wilted:** "The reason is simple. We kept beating them so they resent the fact that we have the best record in terms of leg wins."

**Sarah:** "These are hyper competitive people."

**Wilted:** "Oh well. I'm ready for action once we land."

(cf) **Cloud:** "Our alliance with Micky & Abe and Clara & Nemo got our own table together to discuss strategy moving forward."

**Mega:** "There has to be another uturn coming up."

**Nemo:** "As long as we stay in front, we have control over it."

**Clara:** "I'm ready to see Asia & Jojo go."

**Abe:** "Everyone is. But we have stronger teams to deal with like Alex & Wilted or something like that."

**Clara:** "I hate them. They think they're the faces of the Race. I only see one face that is even worthy of that title."

**Cloud:** "We just know that we have each other's backs."

**Micky:** "Cheers to that."

**Jojo:** "Our flight is boarding and these teams are shook. They can't handle truth when they hear truth."

**Nemo:** "I hope we can actually sleep on the flight without too much drama."

Flight leaves.

**Iconic:** "We have two more legs to use the express pass so now it's all about timing."

**Sarah:** "We feel good about who we're working with but we have to be careful."

**Getsome:** "We don't want to be in a situation where we're putting our allies ahead of us."

**Jojo:** "Once we land, it's on."

Flight lands.

**Brittnee:** "Go!"

**Alex:** "Wilted, over here!"

**Mega:** "Clue box!"

**Route Info:** Teams must take a taxi to the Nemocón Salt Mine, where each teammate must find a ruby and a sapphire without duplicating. Once they have found both jewels, they must sign up for one of two departure times the following morning. The first four teams will depart at 6:00 am, while the last four will depart at 6:30 am. Teams must take their jewels to the pit stop in order to check in.

**Asia:** "We're looking for jewels for my fabulous self!"

**Clara:** "I want a diamond."

**Nemo:** "I don't think that's what we're looking for."

**Clara:** "Well we should. After all, diamonds are my best friend."

**Nemo:** "What about ruby?"

**Clara:** "I guess it will do."

**Nemo:** "So we find Asia. Her name was Ruby at one point."

**Clara:** "NO! WE'RE GETTING A SAPPHIRE!"

**Nemo:** "We need both."

**Sarah:** "I wonder what the jewels are for?"

**Getsome:** "Who knows."

**Cloud:** "We're going for the first jewel we see."

**Ashley:** "I see the mine."

(cf) **Ashley:** "Everybody showed up at the same time so it's a mad dash to find a jewel."

**Micky:** "Nothing here."

**Halcy:** "Search that side."

**Jojo:** "Where are these things?!"

**Sarah:** "Once you claim a jewel, you can't switch."

**Getsome:** "I found a ruby."

**Brittnee:** "Got a ruby!"

**Clara:** "I see a ruby but I'll let Nemo find it."

**Nemo:** "I got a sapphire."

**Getsome:** "I'm just hoping Sarah finds a sapphire so we can sign up first."

**Abe:** "Nice, I found a sapphire."

**Halcy:** "Where? Hey!"

**Iconic:** "That sapphire's mine!"

**Halcy:** "It was by those pews but Brittnee took it."

**Clara:** "I just got a sapphire. Nemo better have a ruby."

**Mega:** "Got a ruby."

**Clara:** "I got one. What did you get?"

**Nemo:** "I have a sapphire."

**Clara:** "Go get a ruby then!"

**Nemo:** "You have to. I got here first and the clue said the first person back is committed."

**Clara:** "I hate you."

**Nemo:** "We both got here first but we both had sapphires. Clara has to find a ruby."

**Clara:** "Great, I have to put it back where I found it and find a stupid ruby."

**Sarah:** "Got a sapphire."

**Getsome:** "So do I. You need a sapphire!"

**Iconic:** "I got a ruby."

**Brittnee:** "Yess! We got them both!"

Iconic & Brittnee are in group 1.

**Cloud:** "I see a sapphire."

**Clara:** "There's one."

**Micky:** "I see something."

**Clara:** "HEY!"

**Micky:** "Sorry. I was closer."

**Clara:** "That dumb brit stole that ruby from me."

Micky & Abe are in group 1.

**Asia:** "There's my ruby."

**Jojo:** "I got something. This better be right."

Mega & Cloud are in group 1.

**Wilted:** "Got a ruby."

**Jojo:** "Sign us up."

**Asia:** "Idiot! We both have rubies! Go get a sapphire!"

**Jojo:** "Shoot!"

**Wilted:** "There's only one spot left in the first group. Here comes Alex."

**Alex:** "I got a ruby."

**Wilted:** "Shoot! You need a sapphire!"

**Ashley:** "Got a ruby."

**Jojo:** "Where is this thing?"

**Halcy:** "This better work."

**Ashley:** "Please tell me you got a sapphire."

**Halcy:** "Indeed I did!"

**Ashley:** "Yes!"

Halcy & Ashley are in group 1.

**Asia:** "Dang it!"

**Getsome:** "Ugh! We were close."

**Sarah:** "Sorry."

**Getsome:** "It's fine."

**Group 1:** Iconic & Brittnee, Micky & Abe, Mega & Cloud, Halcy & Ashley.

**Group 2:** Getsome & Sarah, Asia & Jojo, Clara & Nemo, Alex & Wilted.

(cf) **Iconic:** "We got to go to sleep inside the mine which, on paper. should be fun for us all but who deciced to ruin it?"

**Asia:** "We'd be in the first group if you had grabbed a sapphire!"

**Jojo:** "How was I supposed to know what you had?!"

**Asia:** "You saw me grab mine!"

(cf) **Iconic:** "You know who else ruined it?"

**Clara:** "Yo Micky, what's up with stealing that Ruby? We're supposed to be allies."

**Micky:** "Are you serious right now? I was closer to it."

**Clara:** "We're an alliance. You're supposed to help me! You and Mega & Cloud did nothing!"

**Alex:** "Oh, big surprise. They have an alliance."

(cf) **Abe:** "And Clara just exposed the whole alliance to every single team in the mine."

**Asia:** "Go to sleep Jojo!"

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

**Asia:** "And by the way! Getsome & Sarah are working with Alex & Wilted."

**Sarah:** "Hey! How did you know about that?"

**Wilted:** "They didn't... SARAH!"

**Sarah:** "Oops!"

(cf) **Wilted:** "You're joking me. What are the odds Asia pairs us two teams up AND Sarah accidentally reveals it? Now everyone knows it. Can this night be over?"

(cf) **Asia:** "MASTERMIND I AM! I JUST EXPOSED TWO ALLIANCES! NO ONE IS SAFE IN THIS MINE!"

**Clara:** "Whatever, this is over!"

**Micky:** "Fine. Be that way!"

**Halcy:** "And someone stole mine little miss stealer!"

**Iconic:** "Seriously? Why are we in the drama now?"

**Halcy:** "Cause you started it!"

**Brittnee:** "Go to bed. Who let you drink before coming here?"

**Halcy:** "And who let you wear that weave to disguise your bald self?"

**Iconic:** "The nerve of you! You better hope there's no uturn!"

**Halcy:** "You'll never have a chance. You'd never be on my team!"

**Iconic:** "I don't want to be!"

**Asia:** "And since I see them! Clara, why the flop shoes! Those are so 2015!"

**Clara:** "SHUT UP! YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT SHOES! LOOK AT THOSE! THEY WENT OUT OF STYLE AS SOON AS YOUR STINKY FEET WORE THEM!"

**Asia:** "I DIDN'T KNOW THEY MADE CUSTOM DUMMY SHOES!"

**Clara:** "THE ONLY DUMMY HERE IS THE PLASTIC WHO CAN'T KEEP A CAB!"

**Abe:** "Geez louise. They're fighting over shoes."

**Mega:** "Can we go to bed?"

**Abe:** "This does not chance our alliance with you."

**Cloud:** "I know. I trust you."

Next morning.

**Ashley:** "Ugh! I don't feel like doing anything."

(cf) **Mega:** "Long story short, thanks to all the commotion, no one got any sleep last night."

**Nemo:** "I hate my life. I was already behind on sleep. I didn't need an all nighter."

**Cloud:** "This reminds me why all nighters are bad ideas."

**Abe:** "We would know."

**Iconic:** "First group will be departing soon and I don't feel like doing a thing."

Group 1 departs.

**Mega:** "Thank you."

**Micky:** "What's it say?"

**Abe:** "Warning: This is an Intersection."

**Phil:** "All teams will now face an Intersection and must mutually agree to join forces with another team and make all decisions together until further notice."

**Halcy:** "It's an Intersection."

**Ashley:** "Well, we know who we don't want."

**Mega:** "Wanna team up?"

**Abe:** "Sure."

**Iconic:** "Crap! That means we HAVE to choose Halcy & Ashley unless we want to wait for the second group."

**Ashley:** "Forget it. Let's just do it."

**Halcy:** "No! I'll put myself last before I work with them."

**Brittnee:** "Let's just do it."

**Ashley:** "Are you in?"

**Iconic:** "Let's just get this over with!"

**Halcy:** "I never said yes!"

**Brittnee:** "I did."

**Ashley:** "You're out voted."

**Halcy:** "Fine. Get the clue."

**Cloud:** "This altitude is no joke."

**Brittnee:** "Note: You must split off and team up with the intersected team member with the matching jewel."

**Halcy:** "Who has the sapphire?"

**Iconic:** "oh great... I do."

**Halcy:** "NO!"

(cf) **Iconic:** "She said I'd never be on her team just last night. Boy was she wrong!"

**Micky:** "I've got the ruby."

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

**Cloud:** "So we're teamed up again."

**Abe:** "Convenient. We've already won together."

(cf) **Abe:** "Cloud and I won New Connection together so it's only fitting that we get paired up again during this Intersection."

**Group 1 Teams:**
**Ruby:** Ashley & Brittnee, Mega & Micky.
**Sapphire:** Iconic & Halcy, Cloud & Abe.

**Route Info:** Teams must make their way on foot to Templo Parroquial San Francisco de Asís, where team members with a ruby must pick up an emerald and team members with a sapphire, a golden artifact. Then must then make their way to Universidad del Rosario, where they must deliver either the emerald to a broker or the golden artifact to an archeologist in exchange for their next clue which they must open with their original partners.

**Ashley:** "We have to find this on foot."

**Mega:** "Stay together until we get there."

**Cloud:** "That looks like a bell tower."

**Brittnee:** "It's over here."

**Abe:** "We're sapphire so we're taking the gold."

Cloud & Abe get their golden artifact currently in 1st place.

**Brittnee:** "Get the emerald. We're ruby so that's ours."

Ashley & Brittnee get their emerald currently in 2nd place.

**Mega:** "Got it."

Mega & Micky get their emerald currently in 3rd place.

**Halcy:** "We lost them."

**Iconic:** "It would've helped if you stayed with them!"

**Ashley:** "It's over there!"

**Halcy:** "Wait for us!"

**Micky:** "Wow, this traffic's awful."

**Mega:** "I hope we don't get split up."

**Cloud:** "Mega & Micky are right behind us so we're trying to get there together."

**Abe:** "I don't see them anymore."

**Micky:** "Their cab just made a move and ours is setting here."

**Mega:** "We'll catch up with them."

**Ashley:** "We're doing well. We have a good driver who's getting through the traffic."

**Brittnee:** "There is the saying keep your enemies closer."

**Ashley:** "We actually were trying to help you but whatever."

**Halcy:** "Up here!"

Iconic & Halcy get their golden artifact currency in 4th place.

**Iconic:** "Thanks to Halcy splitting off, we've lost our teammates."

**Halcy:** "How's that my fault? You ran ahead of me."

Group 2 departs.

**Clara:** "Intersection! I don't care who it is as long as it's not Asia!"

**Nemo:** "Wanna team?"

**Sarah:** "Ho thanks. We're going with them."

**Nemo:** "Oh no..."

**Alex:** "So I'm with Sarah."

**Clara:** "NO! At least put me with Jojo."

**Nemo:** "I better get Asia. Who has the sapphire?"

**Jojo:** "I do."

**Clara:** "NOOOOOO! NO NO NO NO NO!"

**Asia:** "BOOO!"

(cf) **Nemo:** "Everyone's nightmares came true. I didn't want Jojo and Clara didn't want Asia. But we both got stuck with the one we hated more. This is gonna be a long leg."

**Group 2 teams:**
**Ruby:** Getsome & Wilted, Clara & Asia.
**Sapphire:** Alex & Sarah, Nemo & Jojo.

**Getsome:** "I wonder how those two pairings will get through without murdering each other?"

**Wilted:** "Not long."

**Jojo:** "We need to take a left."

**Nemo:** "We haven't even asked for directions yet. What makes you sure?"

**Jojo:** "Didn't you call me a trash human?"

**Nemo:** "Don't even start! Don't even START! WE'RE STUCK TOGETHER AND I DON'T WANT LAST!"

**Jojo:** "Then go left!"

**Clara:** "HOW DID I GET STUCK WITH YOU?!"

**Asia:** "THE UNIVERSE HATES YOU! WHY DID IT HAVE TO DRAG ME INTO CLARA'S PUNISHMENT?!"

**Clara:** "SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR STINKY SHOES UP THE STAIRS!"

**Wilted:** "I can still hear them."

Getsome & Wilted get their emerald currently in 5th place.

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

Alex & Sarah get their golden artifact currently in 6th place.

**Getsome:** "Taxi!"

**Alex:** "Get two so we can go together."

**Sarah:** "That's a good idea."

**Nemo:** "That's a terrible idea!"

**Jojo:** "You have no ground to stand on when you tied me for second in Discord Survivor."

**Nemo:** "That jury respected me more than you!"

**Jojo:** "They were jealous!"

**Getsome:** "Got one."

**Alex:** "Oh my gosh! They're still wandering around hahaha!"

**Clara:** "I'M GONNA PULL THAT WEAVE OUT IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW ME!"

**Asia:** "IT'S THIS WAY STUPID!"

**Clara:** "CLEAN THE WAX OUT OF THOSE FAKE EARS! THE BELLS ARE COMING FROM HERE!"

**Nemo:** "Tell me we're still in the mine and I'm just having the worst nightmare of my life please."

**Cloud:** "This looks like town."

**Abe:** "Stay here, we'll be back."

**Ashley:** "Here we are. Cloud & Abe are up there."

**Brittnee:** "Follow them."

**Ashley:** "We can't. They're sapphires so they're looking for something different."

**Cloud:** "Ashley & Brittnee are here."

**Abe:** "Thankfully they're rubies so they can't follow us."

**Brittnee:** "Looking for an emerald broker. Where's a broker?"

**Ashley:** "We have to find Plazo Rosario."

**Cloud:** "Somehere there's an archeologist who wants this."

**Abe:** "We're going to the Archivo Histórico."

**Mega:** "This looks like the place. Park here please."

**Cloud:** "There it is."

**Abe:** "Nice! We have something for you."

**Archeologist:** "This is a fake."

**Abe:** "Oh no. We didn't grab an incorrect thing did we?"

**Cloud:** "I hope not."

**Archeologist:** "But here is your clue."

Cloud & Abe make their delivery.

**Abe:** "Oh, phew. Thank you!"

**Cloud:** "Let's read it."

**Abe:** "You may not open this until you reunite with your partners. So we have to find them."

**Cloud:** "They're looking for the broker."

**Brittnee:** "Ashley! Men in suits over here!"

**Ashley:** "I'm coming!"

**Brittnee:** "Is this yours?"

**Ashley:** "Got it!"

Ashley & Brittnee make their delivery.

**Ashley:** "You may not open this until you reunite with your partners. Not good."

**Brittnee:** "We left them behind. That was so stupid."

**Micky:** "They just got it from those men."

**Mega:** "Good eye!"

Mega & Micky make their delivery.

**Ashley:** "We led them here..."

**Mega:** "The question is did they finish?"

**Cloud:** "I see something there."

**Micky:** "There they are! Did you finish?"

**Abe:** "We've got a clue."

**Mega:** "Nice! We're all set!"

Cloud & Abe currently in 1st place.

Mega & Micky currently in 2nd place.

**Route Info:** Teams must take a taxi to Escuela Nacional Circo Para Todos, where they would find their next clue.

**Abe:** "You are no longer Intersected."

**Mega:** "So our teams are back the way they were. We had a cab waiting over here."

**Micky:** "Ours was right there as well. We can go together."

**Mega:** "We want to go here please!"

**Cloud:** "That's a task where if you got stuck with a rival, you're in for a rough day."

**Halcy:** "This traffic has not budged in like 20 minutes."

**Iconic:** "I'm already sick of this."

(cf) **Halcy:** "It was hard being teamed with someone who hated you. I was ready for this day to be over."

**Halcy:** "Can I ask you this. Why do you think we wanted to help Asia & Jojo of all teams?"

**Iconic:** "Because you clearly sabotaged us twice in order to help them get ahead."

**Halcy:** "Which is not what we were doing. We don't even like them. WHO DOES?"

**Iconic:** "Which makes them perfect shields. I know you're smarter than that unless you're blind."

**Halcy:** "As if Survivor 3 didn't make that clear. We wanted to stay all female strong. If you watched us you would know we're all about that."

**Ashley:** "I don't understand why we're fighting when me and Halcy made history in Redemption Time. We've proven we're all about girl power so why would we go out of our way to drag other women down?"

**Brittnee:** "I suppose you have a point given I was there to see it."

(cf) **Brittnee:** "I won't lie. After talking with Ashley, I'm starting to think this whole thing was a ploy to make sure the women don't team up. We're not about to play the men's games!"

**Brittnee:** "I'll have to talk to **Iconic:**"

**Nemo:** "It's up here!"

**Jojo:** "Take the emerald."

**Nemo:** "Read the clue idiot! That is not our item!"

Nemo & Jojo get their golden artifact currently in 7th place.

**Clara:** "WE'RE GOING IN CIRCLES NOW! MAKE A DECISION!"

**Asia:** "MAKE A CAREER FOR YOURSELF FIRST LITTLE MISS NOBODY!"

**Nemo:** "SHUT UP AND COME HERE! WE FOUND IT!"

**Clara:** "I TOLD YOU IT'S THIS WAY!"

**Asia:** "I SAID GO THAT WAY!"

**Clara:** "NO YOU DIDN'T!"

**Nemo:** "SHUT UP!"

(cf) **Nemo:** "Clara & Asia are the worst possible pairing we could've had. All they want to do is kill each other instead of racing. Can this day get any worse?"

Clara & Asia get their golden artifact currently in Last place.

**Nemo:** "I got us cabs. Let's go!"

**Clara:** "Wait! THIS IS NOT RIGHT! WE NEED AM EMERALD!"

**Asia:** "NO! WE'RE ALREADY MOVING! WE'LL LOSE THEM IF WE DO THAT!"

**Clara:** "READ THE CLUE DUMB! IT SAYS RUBIES MUST GRAB THE EMERALD!"

**Jojo:** "Run them over! We're in a race!"

**Nemo:** "Can we not be terrible humans for one second?"

**Jojo:** "It's okay. Run that kid over."

**Nemo:** "Why do I even try?"

**Wilted:** "We're getting close. Alex & Sarah are still behind us which is good."

(cf) **Getsome:** "Basically, we had our cab driver call Alex & Sarah's cab and made the two stay close over the phone. I think it really helped us given the terrible traffic."

**Alex:** "Our driver's a good man. He's keeping contact with our partners and staying with them."

**Sarah:** "I see a team in front of them."

**Halcy:** "That's Getsome & Wilted. How'd they catch up?"

**Iconic:** "We've been stuck here for ages. Why wouldn't they catch up?"

**Wilted:** "Pass that cab!"

**Sarah:** "Follow them!"

**Halcy:** "They just passed us. Both of their groups."

**Iconic:** "This sucks."

**Micky:** "Oh, I see it."

**Roadblock:** "*Who feels like clowning around?*"
The team member possessing the sapphire must perform this Roadblock. That team member must dress in clown attire and ride in a wheel of death, then cross a tightrope while wine bottle balanced, then return to the other side while balancing two filled wine glasses and the wine bottle. Once they have successfully performed the routine, they would receive their next clue.

**Abe:** "Note: The possessor of the sapphire must perform this roadblock. That's me."

Abe is doing the RB.

**Mega:** "That's you. You got this!"

Cloud is doing the RB.

**Abe:** "We're getting all dressed up. It's like being back on set again."

**Cloud:** "I like this color. You have to tell me what brand this lipstick is."

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

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

**Mega:** "Wow, these people are good!"

**Micky:** "I can't do any of that if I wanted to."

**Abe:** "Whoa!"

**Micky:** "There he is!"

**Abe:** "Motion sickness alert!"

**Mega:** "I've never seen him dress like that before. Oh, here comes Cloud!"

**Cloud:** "Weeeee!"

**Abe:** "Oh no. More heights."

**Micky:** "I feel like he says that just for tv cause I can't remember the last time he's ever had a problem with a heights task."

**Cloud:** "Oh, I can't wait to try that."

**Mega:** "They have to carry that wine bottle across. That's crazy!"

**Abe:** "Whoa. This ain't easy."

**Cloud:** "So I take this bottle?"

**Mega:** "Go Cloud!"

**Abe:** "I'm done!"

**Micky:** "Oh he got it."

**Abe:** "I have to carry two more glasses? You're joking!"

**Cloud:** "Here we go."

**Mega:** "Cloud's doing good. YEAH CLOUD!"

**Getsome:** "This is it."

**Alex:** "Thank you sir. Here's your money."

**Wilted:** "I see Ashley & Brittnee. They're still here!"

Getsome & Wilted make their delivery.

**Ashley:** "Let's get out of here before someone else sees us."

**Alex:** "Any idea where this could be?"

**Sarah:** "It might be up there. I see it!"

Alex & Sarah make their delivery.

**Getsome:** "They got it."

**Wilted:** "Over here!"

**Alex:** "We're coming!"

Getsome & Wilted currently in 3rd place.

Alex & Sarah currently in 4th place.

**Sarah:** "You are no longer Intersected."

**Alex:** "We need a cab."

**Wilted:** "Let's get mine."

**Getsome:** "We need to get a cab."

(cf) **Alex:** "We let our taxi go which was stupid. So it became a race for the lone cab."

**Wilted:** "Let us have it. I paid for it!"

**Getsome:** "Sorry, it's a race. Let's go!"

**Wilted:** "Dang it! We just lost that cab and our money for it. Why did you have to release your guy?"

**Wilted:** "I don't trust those two anymore after that."

**Alex:** "For what? Taking a taxi? I don't feel like getting hated on again because of pettiness."

**Wilted:** "Taxi! Got one!"

**Brittnee:** "I'm starting to think Halcy & Ashley were telling the truth."

**Iconic:** "You think so?"

**Brittnee:** "Yes. Ashley explained the whole thing and I was with her when they conducted the all female alliance. It makes no sense for us to play the men's games."

**Iconic:** "I guess so. I still think we need to watch them."

Nemo & Jojo make their delivery.

**Nemo:** "We're gonna be here all day."

**Jojo:** "We'll be fine. I want to see what it says. "You are no longer Intersected."

**Wilted:** "We gave you all that help only for you to take a taxi I gave you my money for? You probably lied about the eggs in Dubai too!"

**Sarah:** "It's not that big of a deal. We're supposed to be allies. Remember?"

**Wilted:** "I don't trust you anymore. That simple."

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

**Alex:** "You're an idiot! We need them! Now we have another team against us!"

**Wilted:** "They were already against us."

**Alex:** "Well, you made it worse if that's the case."

(cf) **Alex:** "I feel like this time around, Wilted has lost what has made us great which is staying calm. Maybe it's because of how much money is up for grabs but this has to stop."

(cf) **Sarah:** "After that comment, I have no trust in Alex & Wilted. I don't even know what Getsome saw in them. The fact they got so butt hurt by that, they're next for us."

Foot race.

Asia & Jojo, you are the seventh team to arrive.

**Asia:** "YASS! TAKE THAT CLARA!"

However, Jojo, you opened the clue before reuniting with Asia which you were told not to do. For that you have incurred a 30 minute penalty.

**Asia:** "IDIOT!"

Clara & Nemo, you are the last team to arrive. But, as you saw, Asia & Jojo received a penalty.

**Clara:** "EAT THAT ASIA!"

However, because Nemo didn't wait for you to open the clue, you have incurred the same penalty. Those penalties cancel each other out, that means you are last.

**Clara:** "NEMO!"

**Nemo:** "Leave it up to Jojo to screw me over. I'm ready to go."

However, Asia & Jojo, I understand that you broke a race rule by using your personal possessions to settle a bill. And for that you've incurred a two hour penalty. And that penalty makes all the difference. So Clara & Nemo, you are team number 7 and you are still in the race.

**Clara:** "YASS!"

**Nemo:** "I never want another leg like this again."

(cf) **Nemo:** "The only good thing that happened today was Clara was at least smart enough to drain Asia's wallet. Outside of that, we did horrible."

**Asia:** "NO FAIR! SHE MADE ME USE ALL MY MONEY!"

Asia & Jojo, you are now officially the last team to arrive.

**Asia:** "RIG! THE FIX IS IN FOR CLARA!"

**Clara:** "GO CRY HOME!"

There is some good news. And that is that this is a non-elimination leg. Which means you are still in the race.

**Asia:** "HAHAHAHA!"

**Clara:** "BOOOOOOOOOOOO! HOW MANY NONS DO THEY GET?!"

**Nemo:** "Too many."

But there's a lot of bad news. First of all, both of your penalties will be added to your release time, starting the next leg. And there's even more bad news cause sometime during the next leg of the race you will hit a Speed Bump. An extra task that only your team has to complete. You're a long way back guys.

**Jojo:** "We're in the race and we will win it even with this rig."
