## Story

Leg 9 (Based off Leg 7 of The Amazing Race 27)

The race resumes at the *Havet* Ship.

Micky & Abe will depart 1st.

**Route Info:** Teams must take a train from the Copenhagen Central Station to Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Upon arrival, teams must make their way to the location depicted in a provided picture, which they must figure out was the Lightvessel No. 11 in Leuvehaven, where they would claim departure times the following morning. The first team would depart at 5:00 am, with teams leaving 15 minutes apart.

**Abe:** "The last leg was super sweet in several ways. Alex & Wilted HATE us even more than ever before after we beat them with a uturn THEY gave to us."

**Micky:** "Our threat level has to be through the roof at this point but we just keep running our race."

Alex & Wilted depart 2nd.

**Alex:** "We had the last leg in our hands and lost it. We're determined that this leg will be ours."

**Wilted:** "More importantly is making sure Micky & Abe are nowhere near that finish line."

**Abe:** "Train station is up there."

**Micky:** "We need two tickets to Amsterdam."

**Abe:** "Rotterdam, not Amsterdam."

**Micky:** "Oh yeah. I keep wanting to say Amsterdam."

**Abe:** "It could be worse, you could've said Paris."

**Alex:** "I remember that."

**Wilted:** "What's up, what's up. Looks like we're on the same train."

(cf) **Alex:** "We don't really care about being sneaky anymore. They know we don't like them so we decided we're going to have fun with it."

**Alex:** "They want to go to Paris actually."

**Wilted:** "Absolutely... Eiffel Tower! Hehe!"

**Abe:** "Real original buddy."

**Alex:** "Don't miss the train!"

**Wilted:** "Ow!"

**Micky:** "Don't miss the steps!"

Asia & Jojo depart 3rd.

**Jojo:** "We feel good. We're getting closer to first. It's all about peaking at the right time and we're doing that."

**Asia:** "These other flops have no idea what's coming their way!"

**Micky:** "No one else is getting on this train I'm pretty sure."

**Jojo:** "We have our tickets. Let's go!"

**Asia:** "We have two minutes!"

**Wilted:** "This is where I'm sleeping? We're all set."

**Asia:** "GO! OUT OF MY WAY!"

Train 1 leaves.

**Jojo:** "Ugh! There it went."

**Asia:** "Back to the ticket counter..."

**Jojo:** "Unbelievable."

**Asia:** "So the next one leaves ten minutes after that one so we can catch them."

Mega & Cloud depart 4th.

**Cloud:** "We are very much still in this race. Don't count us out cause we're going to the country where our biggest comeback happened!"

**Mega:** "And we won't even need a fast forward this time."

**Asia:** "Can this train go?!"

**Driver:** "We must wait five minutes."

**Jojo:** "Is there any way we can go now?"

**Asia:** "How about this?"

(cf) **Asia:** "This is how you slay a driver into making you go. You kiss him all over the face and give him love like the loser's never had before BUT EW DID HE STINK!"

**Driver:** "For you, we'll go."

**Asia:** "Hehehe!"

Train 2 leaves.

Iconic & Brittnee depart Last.

**Brittnee:** "It sucked to lose our girls but we're here for ourselves. We have to win."

**Iconic:** "We want to be the first and only team to win back to back races. We can feel it coming."

**Brittnee:** "All about staying the course."

**Mega:** "So a train was here but it left early? How does that happen?"

**Cloud:** "I don't know but we better find something quick."

**Iconic:** "We're with Mega & Cloud so at least we're not alone."

**Brittnee:** "Nice to see teams after our day we had yesterday."

Train 3 leaves.

**Train 1:** Micky & Abe, Alex & Wilted.

**Train 2:** Asia & Jojo.

**Train 3:** Mega & Cloud, Iconic & Brittnee.

Train 1 arrives.

**Alex:** "We have to catch a tram and go to whatever this is."

**Micky:** "Here comes one."

(cf) **Wilted:** "We got on the same tram but we have to figure out what this place is before Ghost Town does so we get that head start."

**Alex:** "Excuse me. Do you know what this is and where it is?"

**Local:** "It's the Lightvessel No. 11."

**Wilted:** "Thank you."

**Micky:** "They're just now asking?"

**Abe:** "Looks like it."

(cf) **Micky:** "We asked way before we even got here so we know where we're going. I'm not sure what game they're playing but it won't work on us."

Train 2 arrives.

**Asia:** "So one more stop and we've made it."

**Jojo:** "That's what they said."

**Asia:** "We're staying on."

Train 2 leaves (wrong way).

**Alex:** "Get off!"

**Micky:** "It's around here somewhere."

**Alex:** "That's it!"

**Abe:** "Over there!"

Foot race.

**Abe:** "GOT IT!"

**Wilted:** "NO I GOT IT!"

(cf) **Wilted:** "We both grabbed the 5:00 time and had a hand on it."

**Wilted:** "Give up!"

**Abe:** "Let go! OW!"

**Wilted:** "HA!"

(cf) **Wilted:** "But then I stepped on his foot and he let go. Piece of cake."

Alex & Wilted get the 5:00 am departure.

Micky & Abe get the 5:15 am departure.

**Alex:** "We got the head start!"

**Abe:** "Dirty move, Wilted. Dirty move."

**Wilted:** "I'm here to play baby."

**Abe:** "You win the round Wilted, but I'll win the fight. Remember your blown lead?"

**Alex:** "We'll remember you when you get eliminated by us."

**Jojo:** "We should be close."

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

**Local:** "Rotterdam."

**Asia:** "That's where we're going."

**Local:** "That was the last stop. We're going to Amsterdam."

**Jojo:** "I thought we already passed Amsterdam!"

**Local:** "The track loops around."

**Asia:** "We have to go back!"

**Brittnee:** "We're in Amsterdam waiting for the train to get going again."

**Mega:** "So it's here?"

**Local:** "Yes."

**Cloud:** "Well then let's go."

**Iconic:** "Look! Mega & Cloud just got off."

**Brittnee:** "Oh yikes. They just made a big mistake."

**Mega:** "Sir, is this the Lightvessel No. 11?"

**Local:** "That's in Rotterdam."

**Mega:** "I thought this was. Are they not the same place?"

**Local:** "No."

**Cloud:** "Back to the train! Fast!"

**Brittnee:** "They realized it."

**Iconic:** "Too late!"

**Mega:** "We missed it!"

Train 3 leaves.

**Iconic:** "We lost Mega & Cloud. We now know we are not in last!"

**Mega:** "That sucks. We need another train."

**Cloud:** "We got one. Now we just have to hope we can make up time somewhere."

Train 4 leaves.

**Mega:** "Rotterdam is not Amsterdam, Rotterdam is not Amsterdam!"

Train 3 arrives.

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

**Brittnee:** "Come on tram!"

Train 2 arrives.

**Jojo:** "Go!"

**Iconic:** "I see Asia & Jojo."

(cf) **Brittnee:** "We knew where we were going and did not want to lead Asia & Jojo there. So we ducked behind a trash can hoping they didn't see us."

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

**Asia:** "It's not here! WE'RE IN THE WRONG PLACE!"

**Jojo:** "Let's get out of here then."

**Iconic:** "They left."

**Brittnee:** "Idiots! HAHA! Here it comes."

Train 4 arrives.

**Mega:** "Here we are finally."

**Cloud:** "We have to catch a tram."

**Jojo:** "Here comes one."

**Asia:** "FINALLY!"

**Mega:** "Here comes one."

**Jojo:** "NO! Mega & Cloud are getting on!"

**Asia:** "HOW! THEY WERE BEHIND US!"

**Cloud:** "Asia & Jojo!"

**Mega:** "Boy are we glad to see you!"

**Asia:** "SHUT UP! GET OFF FLOPS!"

**Cloud:** "I think we'll stay here."

**Iconic:** "There it is."

Iconic & Brittnee get the 5:30 am departure.

**Brittnee:** "So we're third here. Asia & Jojo didn't make it yet."

**Mega:** "This is our stop."

**Asia:** "RUN!"

**Cloud:** "Where is it?!"

**Jojo:** "Here!"

**Mega:** "There it is!"

**Cloud:** "Where are the times?!"

**Asia:** "GOT IT!"

Asia & Jojo get the 5:45 am departure.

**Mega:** "Here it is."

Mega & Cloud get the 6:00 am departure.

**Asia:** "AH HA HA! BOOO!!!"

**Mega:** "Don't listen to her."

**Cloud:** "Walk away."

(cf) **Cloud:** "We're starting out in last again. We're used to it by this point but it never gets any easier especially with this field."

**Wilted:** "We're all sleeping on the boat. There's no getting around it this time, everyone has to rough it."

**Brittnee:** "This place is beautiful at night."

**Iconic:** "We've come a long ways."

**Brittnee:** "We really have."

**Mega:** "Is something wrong?"

**Cloud:** "Nothing. It's just that leg 9 was a bad one for me last time I was on it."

**Abe:** "I know what you mean. I was there too."

**Mega:** "But this is a different race. We can make this leg different."

**Cloud:** "We could. Starting in last does not help."

**Abe:** "We always have the alliance if nothing else."

**Cloud:** "About that. If we're gonna win, I want it to be because I earned it. These next few legs will give us the chance to do that. So I'd like to ask to not have help from this point forward."

**Abe:** "Are you sure?"

**Cloud:**" I'm sure."

(cf) **Cloud:** "We're so deep into the race that it makes no sense to have alliances. We need to focus on ourselves if we want to win."

(cf) **Abe:** "I understand where she's coming from but now we're on our own. We've done well up to this point so I don't see that being a problem."

**Alex:** "We better not blow this head start we have."

**Wilted:** "We'll be fine. I'm so ready to see Micky & Abe out of this race."

**Alex:** "They're on fire right now. If anyone can stop them, it's us."

**Asia:** "And we can't?! YOU UNDERESTIMATE US!"

**Alex:** "Girl, this has nothing to do with you."

**Asia:** "THIS IS WHY WE STOPPED WORKING WITH YOU! YOU'RE TRASH!"

**Alex:** "Says the team that got saved by a non elim!"

(cf) **Wilted:** "Asia & Jojo have a way of turning something that has nothing to do with them into this big dramatic for nothing moment. It must suck living as losers."

**Jojo:** "You won't be saying dumb things when we win the title."

**Brittnee:** "You can't even win a leg. How are you going to win the race?"

**Asia:** "SHUT UP! WE'RE THE MOST DOMINANT TEAM LEFT! IF YOU SAW OUR SEASON YOU'D KNOW THA-"

**Micky:** "That you survived three non elims that season? Yeah, you were dominant alright."

**Mega:** "I want to go to bed."

**Asia:** "YOU'RE STAYING UP ALL NIGHT!"

**Wilted:** "I am in no mood for another all nighter cause of you."

**Jojo:** "Too bad!"

**Abe:** "Sometimes they make me rethink getting Alex & Wilted out in favor of those two tik toks. Something I'd call you crazy for saying I'd even think about!"

**Micky:** "I hate them. It sucks that we're stuck here all night."

**Brittnee:** "Welp, I'm guessing that thanks to these two, there will be no sleep tonight for queens tonight. And these queens want sleep."

**Iconic:** "Can we throw them overboard?"

**Alex:** "You just want tv time and that's it!"

**Jojo:** "This is why you're the most hated winners!"

**Wilted:** "YOU WERE BOO'D AT THE FINISH LINE YOU BOZOS! WE'RE HATED CAUSE WE DOMINATED! YOU'RE HATED BECAUSE YOU ANNOY EVERYONE EVERY DAY OF YOUR MISERABLE LIVES!"

**Asia:** "IT MUST BE SO HOT YELLING AT WOMEN! EVERYONE SEES YOU FOR THE MISOGYNIST YOU ARE!"

**Wilted:** "HOW?! CAUSE I HATE YOU?!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "The smart thing would be to simply ignore them. But when you're dealing with people this toxic, you don't really care what's smart, you tend to care for what saves your brain cells."

**Iconic:** "Don't even bring that into play girl. As women, we're here to say that you're a disgrace to every woman on the planet."

**Brittnee:** "You're the reason misogynists exist. Now go to bed!"

**Cloud:** "I am sick of these two ruining everything!"

**Asia:** OH, YOU DID NOT JUST DISRESPECT THE ONE AND ONLY!"

(cf) **Abe:** "This went on and on until the sun finally came up. And no one got any sleep. Can anyone guess why?"

**Iconic:** "I don't feel like racing one bit."

**Brittnee:** "I don't think anyone does."

**Mega:** "Boy, no sleep messes with you."

(cf) **Alex:** "We don't need sleep to win this race, but we sure could use it for our sanity. It's a little weird not being the most hated team left but it's not like we have competition in that area."

**Micky:** "I am so sick of them."

**Abe:** "They could go home and I wouldn't care."

**Alex:** "That's like, the one thing we can agree on."

**Abe:** "You're still going down though."

**Wilted:** "Not if you go down first."

**Asia:** "You're all doing down to the grave."

**Everyone:** "SHUT UP!"

Alex & Wilted depart 1st at 5:00am.

**Route Info:** Teams must make their way on foot to Kop van Zuid and take a water taxi to the Kinderdijk Windmills, where they would find their next clue.

**Wilted:** "Every step counts. The more you take, the higher the stakes."

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

(cf) **Wilted:** "At this point, there are no more alliances. With the grand championship on the line, everyone is out for themselves."

**Alex:** "If only we could find someone to tell us where this is."

**Wilted:** "There has to be a place opened twenty four seven that can help us."

**Alex:** "Or we could follow the signs. There's one right there."

**Wilted:** "I'm not sure that's the same place."

Micky & Abe depart 2nd at 5:15am.

**Micky:** "We need to ask someone."

**Abe:** "Let's see if this guy knows."

**Micky:** "I see a sign."

**Abe:** "Good eye. So it's over that bridge."

**Wilted:** "Thank you, sir."

**Alex:** "So it's where I told you it was."

**Wilted:** "Forget that, we know for sure now."

**Alex:** "Look! Ghost Town is already here."

**Micky:** "They just now got on the bridge!"

**Abe:** "This is our chance!"

**Alex:** "All we had to do was follow the sign but you decided to stop!"

**Wilted:** "Why do you always play the blame game when things go wrong?!"

**Alex:** "It's usually you! And it was this time!"

**Wilted:** "Whatever."

**Micky:** "Temper temper!"

**Wilted:** "Don't even start!"

**Abe:** "What happened to that lead?"

**Alex:** "Be quiet!"

Iconic & Brittnee depart 3rd at 5:30am.

**Iconic:** "This way."

**Brittnee:** "We're following the signs."

**Alex:** "This way!"

**Wilted:** "Alright little miss does nothing wrong."

**Alex:** "Don't be petty!"

**Micky:** "He sucks! You need a new partner!"

**Abe:** "He's too slow to keep up!"

**Alex:** "SHUT UP!"

**Micky:** "They're going the wrong way."

**Abe:** "The sign said this way so that's what we're doing."

**Brittnee:** "This is the bridge. How beautiful is this?!"

**Iconic:** "Stunning. I love this race!"

**Alex:** "Where are we?"

**Wilted:** "Oh, look who got us lost!"

**Alex:** "Okay I get it! Can we figure out where we're going?"

**Wilted:** "Ask this cab. Sir, do you know where the water taxi place is?"

**Driver:** "I know. Hop in."

**Wilted:** "Thanks."

**Alex:** "Wait, but didn't it..."

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

**Alex:** "..."

**Abe:** "We're in the right area but no sign of the place. We need someone to ask."

Asia & Jojo depart 4th at 5:45am.

**Jojo:** "Here we go."

**Asia:** "Over there!"

**Jojo:** "This leg is ours!"

**Iconic:** "There's Ghost Town looking as well."

**Micky:** "Wait, there it is."

**Brittnee:** "That's 100% it."

**Wilted:** "Ghost Town AND Iconic & Brittnee are here. Great."

**Abe:** "Sir, can you shut the door? We're in a race and want to leave before that team."

**Wilted:** "Taxi!"

**Alex:** "Shoot!"

**Micky:** "Too slow!"

**Brittnee:** "More teamwork!"

**Iconic:** "Here all night!"

**Abe:** "Tomorrow too!"

**Alex:** "OH MY GOSH!"

**Iconic:** "We left Alex & Wilted behind hehe!"

**Wilted:** "Here's one."

**Alex:** "What a joke. They still hate us."

Mega & Cloud depart Last at 6:00am.

**Mega:** "It's time for another comeback by us!"

**Cloud:** "We have to start behind to keep the viewers on their feet."

**Mega:** "Let's try over there."

**Iconic:** "This is it."

**Micky:** "Right here."

**Abe:** "I see windmills up there."

**Brittnee:** "OH! Clue box!"

**Roadblock:** "*Who wants to pick the sunflowers?*"
One team member must refer to a provided example, then find an exact match of Vincent van Gogh's *Sunflowers* placed among many decoys with only minor differences around the nearby windmills. Once they find an exact match, a miller would give them their next clue. If they are incorrect, teams must return the painting where they found it before they may continue searching.

Iconic is doing the RB.

**Micky:** "Flowers. That sounds like you."

**Abe:** "The only problem is if I do it, you'll be two behind."

**Micky:** "I can handle it."

**Abe:** "Alright, I'll do it."

Abe is doing the RB.

**Iconic:** "So I need to find the example. It must be in that windmill."

**Abe:** "Here it is. I can't take any notes which is no surprise."

**Wilted:** "There it is."

Alex is doing the RB.

**Alex:** "They're still studying so we're still in this."

**Abe:** "Alright, gotta run."

**Iconic:** "Phew, these windmills are not close at all."

**Alex:** "I'm taking my time. It's no use running if you're wrong."

**Iconic:** "I'll try this one."

**Abe:** "The vase is wrong on this. It has to be showing."

**Iconic:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "No."

**Iconic:** "Crap! Now I have to run all the way back and that windmill was nowhere near here."

**Abe:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "No."

**Abe:** "Dang. I'm checking the example after I put this back."

**Alex:** "Alright, I'm ready."

**Jojo:** "That's the taxi place."

**Asia:** "There's Mega & Cloud! How'd they catch up?!"

**Cloud:** "I see Asia & Jojo. We've made up time."

**Alex:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "No."

**Alex:** "Oh, that flower is off."

**Abe:** "This running is no joke. Who knew this could get physical?"

Asia is doing the RB.

**Asia:** "YASS! No sleep means no memory for them!"

(cf) **Jojo:** "I don't think the other teams see the game we're playing. If we continue to keep them up, their brains won't work right."

**Iconic:** "I've got a headache. Can't let that stop me."

**Asia:** "I'm gonna run all the way over there and take one."

**Abe:** "What is she doing?"

**Alex:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "No."

**Alex:** "That's it. I'm looking again."

**Abe:** "This one looks pretty good."

**Asia:** "I choose this one."

**Iconic:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "No."

**Iconic:** "OH COME ON!"

**Brittnee:** "Stay focused!"

**Wilted:** "Come on, Alex, get us out of here!"

**Alex:** "I'm studying!"

**Abe:** "I've picked out a couple of key details so that should help me eliminate a good chunk of of them."

**Alex:** "The vase is a dead giveaway. If it's inside, it's wrong."

**Iconic:** "Oh, that dandelion needs to be on the left."

**Mega:** "Everyone's still here!"

Cloud is doing the RB.

**Cloud:** "An art task! Perfect for me to get us out of last!"

**Jojo:** "Mega & Cloud are here!"

**Asia:** "Don't worry about it! This is the one."

**Abe:** "You didn't look at the example. How would you know that's right?"

**Asia:** "CHECK!"

**Miller:** "Yes."

**Asia:** "YASS!"

**Abe:** "WHAT?! HOW?! THAT'S BOGUS! SHE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE!"

**Asia:** "SEE YA!"

Asia finishes the RB currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must count the Kinderdijk Windmills from a marked platform and deliver that number of tulips to the *Spakenburgermeisje* at a marked stand in exchange for their next clue.

**Jojo:** "Woo!"

**Alex:** "That's the second time they've pulled that stunt!"

**Abe:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "Yes."

Abe finishes the RB currently in 2nd place.

**Jojo:** "How many windmills did you see?"

**Asia:** "Eighteen. Get eighteen tulips."

**Jojo:** "We're on fire! I see you used my strategy to get it right."

**Asia:** "It actually works."

**Micky:** "So there's at least twelve."

**Abe:** "Yes."

**Cloud:** "If this is it, this could be huge."

**Iconic:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "Yes."

Iconic finishes the RB currently in 3rd place.

**Micky:** "Iconic & Brittnee are coming."

**Wilted:** "We blew our head start because of course we did."

**Cloud:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "No."

**Cloud:** "Wait, there's no flower up there. That was stupid."

**Alex:** "This better be the one."

**Abe:** "I'm thinking nineteen, take nineteen."

**Brittnee:** "Let's try nineteen."

**Iconic:** "So now we have to deliver these to our next stop."

**Abe:** "Let's go. Asia & Jojo are trying that one-shot stunt again."

**Alex:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "Yes."

Alex finishes the RB currently in 4th place.

**Wilted:** "Finally."

**Alex:** "Don't even. Get up here and start counting. Cloud is right on my tail."

**Cloud:** "Check?"

**Miller:** "Yes."

**Cloud:** "WOOO!"

Cloud finishes the RB currently in Last place.

**Mega:** "We're catching up. We've caught Alex & Wilted and they started first!"

**Alex:** "Unbelievable."

**Asia:** "There she is."

**Spakenburgermeisje:** "Hello, please count your tulips into here."

**Jojo:** "Eighteen."

**Spakenburgermeisje:** "I'm sorry. That is wrong."

**Asia:** "DANG IT!"

**Jojo:** "Maybe it wasn't a good idea."

**Asia:** "We're off by one! COME ON!"

**Iconic:** "I heard them. They 100% got it wrong."

**Micky:** "They did not sound happy."

**Brittnee:** "Hey Asia & Jojo, I got one for you. Roses are red, violets are blue. SCREW YOU, AND SCREW YOU TOO!"

**Asia:** "DIE!"

**Iconic:** "Nineteen."

**Spakenburgermeisje:** "Congragulations!"

Iconic & Brittnee finish counting currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must take a water taxi to Nolet Distillery, where they would find their next clue.

**Abe:** "Well, that means we got it too. Nineteen."

**Spakenburgermeisje:** "Congratulations!"

Micky & Abe finish counting currently in 2nd place.

**Iconic:** "Don't let that team on!"

**Micky:** "Stop!"

**Abe:** "Ugh! There they go."

**Brittnee:** "YES! We just got the lead!"

**Iconic:** "They're still right behind us."

**Micky:** "Let's go. I can see their boat."

**Cloud:** "It's nineteen."

**Alex:** "I counted nineteen."

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

**Mega:** "There's Asia & Jojo!"

**Jojo:** "Ugh! Now we're in last."

**Wilted:** "That's what you get for being cocky!"

**Asia:** "SHUT UP LOSER!"

**Alex:** "You're the one who's losing."

**Jojo:** "They have nineteen."

**Asia:** "Take nineteen them!"

**Wilted:** "HEY! DO YOUR OWN THING FOR ONCE!"

**Cloud:** "I mean, that kinda gave it away."

**Jojo:** "So it is nineteen!"

**Cloud:** "Yep."

**Alex:** "Wilted, you're an idiot!"

**Brittnee:** "This looks like the place. So it must be in there."

**Iconic:** "That man might have it."

**Brittnee:** "You got a clue?"

**Iconic:** "Thank you!"

**Detour:** Ship or Skip?

**Choice A:** *Ship*
Teams must take a tram to Millennium Tower, where they must use a training simulator to navigate a simulation of the Port of Rotterdam in stormy weather to complete a two-part mission. With one member acting as the captain and the other as the navigator, they must first deliver a pilot to one of the ships in the water, then come to the aid of a ship in distress. If they could complete the mission in under five minutes, the captain would give them their next clue. If they run out of time before completing the mission, they must go to the back of the line before they are allowed to try again.

**Choice B:** *Skip*
Teams must take a tram to Leuvehoofd Park, where they must learn a Double Dutch clapping routine on a jump rope. If they could perform the routine for 45 seconds, they would receive their next clue.

**Brittnee:** "Oh great. Which one?"

(cf) **Iconic:** "When we got the detour clue, all we got were the names. So this is a blind detour. Now we have to take a shot in the dark and hope we pick a task we like."

**Iconic:** "Ship sounds easier."

Iconic & Brittnee are doing Ship.

**Brittnee:** "We've gotta catch a tram."

**Abe:** "There they go."

**Micky:** "This man has it."

**Abe:** "Skip? Ship sounds more physical."

**Micky:** "Alright."

Micky & Abe are doing Skip.

**Alex:** "Here she is."

**Spakenburgermeisje:** "Congratulations!"

Alex & Wilted finish counting currently in 3rd place.

**Cloud:** "We have nineteen."

**Spakenburgermeisje:** "Congratulations!"

Mega & Cloud finish counting currently in 4th place.

**Wilted:** "GO! Leave them!"

**Cloud:** "Nope!"

**Alex:** "And they got on with us."

**Mega:** "We're still ahead of Asia & Jojo. We're not in last anymore!"

**Asia:** "Nineteen!"

**Spakenburgermeisje:** "Congratulations!"

Asia & Jojo finish counting currently in Last place.

**Jojo:** "This sucks!"

**Asia:** "It's RIGGED!"

**Iconic:** "We're on the tram. Hopefully going the right way."

**Abe:** "Here's a tram."

**Micky:** "Let's hope we made the right choice."

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

**Wilted:** "Which one?"

**Alex:** "I don't know. Neither one stands out."

**Wilted:** "Let's do Ship."

Alex & Wilted are doing Ship.

**Cloud:** "Ship sounds like something you can do."

**Mega:** "Alright, we're doing Ship."

Mega & Cloud are doing Ship.

**Brittnee:** "The Millennium Tower is over there!"

(cf) **Iconic:** "We got there and took this training to control a ship simulation."

**Instructor:** "Look here. This is the radar. Touch here and the name of the ship will appear."

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

**Iconic:** "Whoa! It sure looks the part. It's like we're inside a real ship!"

**Brittnee:** "Here we go."

**Iconic:** "Mission objective: deliver pilot to: CIEMF. I have to find that ship."

**Brittnee:** "Alright, let me know when you find it."

**Iconic:** "There's so many! I can't find it!"

**Brittnee:** "We've already blown two minutes."

**Iconic:** "I found it!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "By the time we found the ship, it was too late."

**Captain:** "Sorry, your mission has failed. You must go back and try again."

**Iconic:** "I'm not sure if we can get this."

**Brittnee:** "I'll try navigating this time."

**Micky:** "Is this Leuvehoofd Park?"

**Abe:** "Oh my! Jump roping."

**Trainer:** "Alright, we're going to practice."

**Abe:** "So this is double dutch?"

(cf) **Micky:** "I've jump roped before like most kids, but never have I done it to a routine."

**Trainer:** "First, the Patti cake. Clap right, clap left. Clap, and then together."

(cf) **Abe:** "I'm a performer so I can learn things like this. But I'm not sure about Micky."

**Micky:** "I've got it."

**Abe:** "5, 6, 7, 8. Left, right, together. Ugh! My foot got caught."

**Micky:** "It's the hand thing that's throwing me off."

**Abe:** "Let's practice it a little more."

**Mega:** "Where's the tram?"

**Local:** "That way."

**Cloud:** "So it's right here. One just passed here."

**Wilted:** "We just saw Mega & Cloud standing at a station which means they didn't get on here."

**Mega:** "We lost Alex & Wilted."

**Asia:** "Let's do Skip."

Asia & Jojo are doing Skip.

**Jojo:** "What now?"

**Asia:** "We need a taxi."

**Jojo:** "Here's one. Taxi!"

**Asia:** "We better not lose today or it's rigged!"

**Iconic:** "Stupid waves! I can't get it over there!"

**Captain:** "Your mission has failed."

**Brittnee:** "Should we switch?"

**Iconic:** "I don't know. Who knows what the other task is."

(cf) **Brittnee:** "We were not anywhere close to getting this and we know that the longer you stay at a detour, the less sense it makes to switch."

**Brittnee:** "Your call. This one or the other one?"

**Iconic:** "Let's do the other one."

Iconic & Brittnee switch detours.

**Iconic:** "Lack of sleep is giving me all kinds of headaches but I have to power through it."

**Brittnee:** "Screw Asia & Jojo."

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

**Micky:** "Whoa, give me a second."

**Abe:** "Geez, this is gonna be tough."

**Micky:** "Alright."

**Abe:** "Left then right!"

**Micky:** "Shoot! I did it wrong."

**Jump Roper:** "Not quite."

**Micky:** "What now?"

**Abe:** "Let's try it one more time."

**Micky:** "Left right, I'm getting it now."

**Abe:** "We're starting to groove. NO! MY FOOT!"

**Micky:** "Forget this. We're gonna switch since we're not getting it."

Micky & Abe switch detours.

**Abe:** "I think I prefer the double dutch bus over that."

**Micky:** "We weren't there for that long so hopefully we didn't lose too much time."

**Abe:** "Wait, I just saw Asia & Jojo!"

**Jojo:** "Ghost Town left."

**Asia:** "Who cares! Let's go!"

**Micky:** "I don't know what to make of that."

**Mega:** "We're finally on a tram. Asia & Jojo should be behind us but you never know in this race."

**Jojo:** "There's no way Ghost Town got it that quick. They switched."

**Asia:** "So we're ahead of them!"

(cf) **Jojo:** "We now have a shot to take the lead back! We will not fail!"

**Asia:** "Left, right. NO! RIGHT!"

**Jojo:** "That's what I did!"

**Asia:** "MY RIGHT!"

**Iconic:** "Which way should we be going to get to Leuvehoofd Park?"

**Local:** "Get off this tram and take the next one that way."

**Brittnee:** "So we're on the wrong tram?"

**Local:** "Yes."

**Iconic:** "Shoot! If we didn't lose our lead before, we have now."

**Brittnee:** "We still have a chance. It was a one stop difference."

**Wilted:** "That's the tower."

**Alex:** "Alright, what are we doing?"

**Instructor:** This is the radar. This let's you find the ships. Use this to steer."

**Wilted:** "I'll drive."

**Alex:** "So I need to get the hang of this thing."

**Abe:** "That's the tower. Let's hope this task is better."

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

**Instructor:** "Follow me."

**Wilted:** "Mission objective: deliver pilot to: CIEMF."

**Alex:** "I got it. It's to the left in that grouping. It'll be the last one."

**Wilted:** "I just have to get other there."

(cf) **Wilted:** "The tough part was battling the waves. If you didn't do it right, it would throw you off course."

**Alex:** "Almost there."

**Wilted:** "Pilot delivered."

**Alex:** "S.O.S. Ship in distress. We gotta find that ship."

**Micky:** "I'm getting it down.

**Instructor:** "If you see a distress signal, go for it and help the people out."

**Abe:** "I already feel better about this one."

**Alex:** "I see the flare. That way!"

**Wilted:** "Come on waves!"

**Micky:** "We're ready to try."

**Instructor:** "You must wait for your turn."

**Abe:** "So another team is here already."

**Iconic:** "There's Asia & Jojo."

**Brittnee:** "They're jump roping. Double dutch! We can totally do this!"

(cf) **Iconic:** "I feel good about switching since we both love to jump rope."

**Asia:** "WE NEED TO TRY IT! ICONIC & BRITTNEE ARE HERE!"

**Jojo:** "Okay! Let's try it!"

**Iconic:** "Can you show us?"

**Trainer:** "Alright, we're going to practice."

**Jojo:** "Wait, now go."

**Asia:** "Two, three, fo-NO!"

**Jojo:** "I didn't know it was coming."

**Asia:** "IT ALWAYS COMES FROM THAT WAY!"

**Iconic:** "They suck. We've got this!"

**Wilted:** "Come on! Why won't you get in there?!"

**Captain:** "Your mission has failed."

**Alex:** "Shoot!"

**Micky:** "Who is it?"

**Wilted:** "Oh no, Ghost Town is here."

**Alex:** "That's a good thing. It means we passed them."

**Micky:** "Not if we get it on this try."

**Mega:** "Whoa! Two teams are here."

**Cloud:** "Every time it looks bad, it keeps getting better. Alright, how do we do this?"

**Abe:** "Here we go. Mission objective: deliver pilot to: CIEMF. So I need to find that."

**Alex:** "Mega & Cloud are here now."

**Jojo:** "Getting there."

**Asia:** "Stop talking and focu-YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! EVERYTIME!"

**Jojo:** "I can't see the rope when I do that!"

**Brittnee:** "Let's give it a go."

**Iconic:** "One, two, three four!"

**Brittnee:** "YES GIRL! KEEP IT UP!"

**Iconic:** "OW! My legs hurt from the roadblock."

**Brittnee:** "That's okay. We'll get it. We were close."

**Jojo:** "I need to figure out this rope thing."

**Asia:** "Yeah you do!"

**Micky:** "I got the pilot delivered. We have a mayday."

**Abe:** "I see it. Book it over there!"

**Micky:** "Hard to do with these waves. And we failed..."

**Captain:** "Your mission has failed."

**Abe:** "That's okay. If we can just deliver the pilot faster, we've got it."

**Cloud:** "Our turn."

(cf) **Mega:** "Going into the simulator, all we are thinking is we have to get this in one try. We know we can pass at least two teams if we do."

**Cloud:** "Mission objective: deliver pilot to: CIEMF. I'm doing the radar."

**Mega:** "Any sign of that ship?"

**Cloud:** "Nothing."

**Mega:** "It has to be somewhere."

**Cloud:** "Wait, I got it."

**Captain:** "Your mission has failed."

**Cloud:** "Ugh! Too late."

**Mega:** "We know what we're doing now so let's practice some more."

**Wilted:** "So I need to battle this way to get it."

(cf) **Micky:** "Alex & Wilted went back to practice and we saw Mega & Cloud come out just as they did."

**Alex:** "Ours!"

**Micky:** "No us!"

**Abe:** "Haha!"

**Wilted:** "Really? We were first in line."

**Alex:** "And who's idea was it to go back and practice instead of waiting?"

**Wilted:** "FORGET IT!"

**Abe:** "Alright, we've got it this time."

**Micky:** "Better run so far. I'm almost to the ship."

**Jojo:** "Left, right. Both."

**Asia:** "Left, right, both."

**Brittnee:** "They're actually getting it now."

**Asia:** "COME ON!"

**Brittnee:** "Um, never mind."

**Iconic:** "I've stretched out my legs a little so let's hope that works."

**Micky:** "Captain delivered. Now for the distress call"

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

**Iconic:** "Left, right, both."

**Brittnee:** "Keep it up!"

(cf) **Iconic:** "All I had to do was fight the pain and deliver. We need to finish this."

**Brittnee:** "Almost there."

**Abe:** "You've got 25 knots. Get him on there."

**Micky:** "Got it. I see the flare! Find that ship!"

**Alex:** "It sounds like they're doing well. UGH!"

**Abe:** "It's there, you're close."

**Micky:** "I've gotta push, I've gotta push!"

**Abe:** "You're right there! Five knots, nine knots, four knots, five knots, two, three. YES!"

**Micky:** "Mission successful!"

Micky & Abe finish detour currently in 1st place.

**Route Info:** Teams must take a train to The Hague, then take a tram to the Peace Palace to check in. The last team to check in may be eliminated.

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

**Wilted:** "SHOOT! Of course they got it."

**Alex:** "Focus on us! We can still catch them!"

**Mega:** "We're getting better."

**Iconic:** "We're close! I can feel it!"

**Jump Roper:** "Nice!"

**Brittnee:** "YESS!"

Iconic & Brittnee finish detour currently in 2nd place.

**Iconic:** "Bye losers!"

**Asia:** "SCREW YOU!"

**Brittnee:** "Right back at you!"

**Iconic:** "We need to catch a tram to the train station."

**Alex:** "Almost there."

**Wilted:** "We got it, you becha!"

**Alex:** "Five, two. Done!"

**Wilted:** "BOOM!"

Alex & Wilted finish detour currently in 3rd place.

**Cloud:** "Did you get it?"

**Alex:** "Yes. Pit stop's next so hurry."

**Mega:** "Thanks."

**Abe:** "We're at the station waiting for the train to get to The Hague."

**Micky:** "Here it is. Let's hope it leaves before anyone else gets here. We might be first or we've lost it to Iconic & Brittnee if they dominated the double dutch."

**Iconic:** "Can we make it on this train?"

**Ticket Master:** "No."

**Brittnee:** "Shoot!"

**Abe:** "I didn't see anyone get on. I think we're in good shape."

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

**Wilted:** "We've got up."

**Brittnee:** "Did Ghost Town finish before you?"

**Wilted:** "They did but we have no idea where they are."

**Alex:** "Come on! This is our train!"

**Asia:** "We need to get it this time!"

**Jojo:** "Come on, come on."

**Asia:** "Watch those legs!"

**Jump Roper:** "Nice!"

**Jojo:** "FINALLY!"

Asia & Jojo finish detour currently in 4th place.

**Cloud:** "Five, two, three."

**Mega:** "We got it!"

Mega & Cloud finish detour currently in Last place.

**Mega:** "It's not over ‘til it's over."

**Cloud:** "We'll see what happens."

**Abe:** "This is it."

**Micky:** "Trams are over there!"

**Abe:** "Are you serious?!"

(cf) **Abe:** "We get there and guess what? There's no tram at the station. Not great."

**Micky:** "20 minutes. That sucks."

**Wilted:** "We're on the train with Iconic & Brittnee. Maybe something happened to Ghost Town and we can catch them."

**Brittnee:** "This is our stop."

**Micky:** "Here comes the tram."

**Abe:** "Uh oh, we may have company."

**Alex:** "I see Ghost Town! They're just now getting on! HURRY!"

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

**Abe:** "Can we leave? We're in a race."

**Brittnee:** "Hurry!"

**Alex:** "Hey! We meet again!"

**Micky:** "Shoot!"

**Iconic:** "You can't have a party without us."

**Abe:** "This just turned into a three way race to the pit stop."

(cf) **Wilted:** "We're back in the hunt for first. We will take Ghost Town down!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "We snuck in there and now have a shot at number 1. We want this bad!"

(cf) **Micky:** "We had a head start but now it's equal. It's gonna be a sprint when we get there."

Tram arrives.

**Wilted:** "GO GO GO!"

**Brittnee:** "Is this the Peace Palace? Which way's the Peace Palace?"

**Abe:** "This way?"

**Iconic:** "It's there!"

**Alex:** "I see it!"

**Micky:** "Over there!"

Dramatic music.

**Abe:** "Phil!"

Micky & Abe, you are team number 1!

**Micky:** "YES!"

**Phil:** "Now you're probably wondering why you kept track of your steps today. Tell me your steps."

**Micky:** "I have 14,693."

**Abe:** "17,722."

**Phil:** "Well I have some good news for you, Fitbit is going to turn your 32,415 steps into..."

**Micky:** "Dollars?!"

**Phil:** "Dollars!"

**Abe:** "YES!"

**Phil:** "Now about your heart rates."

**Micky:** "86."

**Abe:** "78."

**Phil:** "Fitbit would also like to give you a 86 minus message that you can enjoy as soon as you leave the mat."

**Abe:** "I could use that! And some sleep!"

(cf) **Abe:** "Three in a row! I've tied the record twice now. Next leg, we're coming for it so Alex & Wilted can kiss it goodbye!"

**Wilted:** "They're already over there..."

**Alex:** "Of course."

Alex & Wilted, you're the second team to arrive.

**Alex:** "I guess we'll take it."

**Phil:** "However, your clue states that you must make your way to Kop van Zuid, you took a taxi cab there."

**Wilted:** "UGH!"

**Phil:** "What's the number one rule on the Amazing Race?"

**Alex:** "Read the clue..."

**Phil:** "You've incurred a 30 minute penalty which you will need to wait out before I can check you in."

**Alex:** "Once again, a Wilted idea harms us!"

**Wilted:** "You did it too!"

**Alex:** "You didn't even read the clue! That was your job!"

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

Iconic & Brittnee, you are team number 2.

**Iconic:** "YES!"

(cf) **Brittnee:** "We performed well. All we need to do is stay focused and we can make that final leg and be the grand champions!"

**Asia:** "There's the train! HURRY!"

**Cloud:** "Is it possible to get on this train?"

**Ticket Master:** "If you hurry."

**Mega:** "Let's run!"

**Jojo:** "Go! We need to go!"

**Mega:** "This isn't number 2!"

**Cloud:** "We're on the wrong platform!"

**Asia:** "We're leaving!"

**Mega:** "There it goes."

**Cloud:** "I know it's not over but it's hard to not think about it."

**Mega:** "We're not eliminated yet so maybe someone made a bigger mistake than we did."

**Phil:** "Alex & Wilted, I can check you in."

**Wilted:** "Geez."

Alex & Wilted, you are now team number 3. Alex, you don't look happy.

**Alex:** "I had this guy making stupid decisions and them blaming me for minor mistakes. The ones he made were what cost us today."

**Wilted:** "Take some accountability for your errors today! It wasn't all me!"

**Alex:** "Whatever, I'm ready for this day to end. I need sleep."

**Wilted:** "You sure do with that attitude."

**Alex:** "SHUT UP!"

**Wilted:** "Whatever..."

(cf) **Alex:** "We did not work well today. The whole idea of what makes this team work is us putting our rivalry aside and we didn't. We have to pick up the pieces and move forward cause we still have a race to win."

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

**Asia:** "We're all set! Pit stop, here we come!"

**Cloud:** "This is our stop."

**Mega:** "Let's go! Maybe we can catch that tram!"

**Jojo:** "Here they come!"

**Asia:** "Driver, let's go!"

**Driver:** "10 more minutes."

**Asia:** "What if I do this?"

(cf) **Asia:** "It's like I said, I always get my way."

**Asia:** "There's more if we go now."

**Driver:** "Ok."

**Jojo:** "We're going!"

**Cloud:** "UGH! We just missed it. And look at that, there's Asia & Jojo."

**Mega:** "It's looking bad but I'm not giving up hope. Here comes another one."

**Cloud:** "Let's get on that one. We have to hope they made a mistake since they got on the one before us."

(cf) **Jojo:** "We knew we had them at that point so it was smooth sailing to the pit stop."

**Asia:** "There he is!"

Asia & Jojo, you're the fourth team to arrive.

**Asia:** "WOO!"

However, your detour clue states that you must take a tram to your choice, you took a taxi instead. And for that you've incurred a 30 minute penalty.

**Asia:** "RIG! THAT IS SO RIG!"

**Jojo:** "We better not lose because of that."

**Mega:** "We're not seeing the Peace Palace on the screen here."

**Cloud:** "Is this tram going to the Peace Palace?"

**Local:** "This tram goes to the beach."

**Mega:** "Tram 1 goes to the beach?"

**Local:** "This is tram 9, not tram 1."

**Cloud:** "Oh no! Now we really are done."

**Mega:** "Let's go! We can switch to tram 1 right here!"

**Jojo:** "We've worked so hard. We can't lose like this."

**Cloud:** "Come on, come on!"

Dramatic music.

**Cloud:** "Phil! Give it to us. We're ready."

Mega & Cloud, you are...

**Cloud:** "Last?"

Team number 4 and you are still in the race!"

**Cloud:** "NO WAY!"

**Mega:** "We did it! That's why we're the comeback kids!"

(cf) **Cloud:** "We've had so many things not go our way this leg so to not be last was huge. Now we feel like we can get the better of the situation and win and be the grand champions!"

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

**Asia:** "BECAUSE OF RIG!"

**Jojo:** "This hard work went to waste all because of one little tiny thing."

Well, I'm sorry to tell you that...the next leg of the race will be tough."

**Jojo:** "Huh?"

You're not eliminated! This is a non-elimination leg and you are still in the race!"

**Asia:** "WHAT! YASSS!"

**Jojo:** "Still the champs!"

But you know there's some bad news. 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've done many Speed Bumps before.

**Jojo:** "And this one will be no different!"

(cf) **Asia:** "Those other teams better be scared when they see us back again. WE'RE OUT FOR HEADS NOW!"

* Route Info 4
* Detour
* Route Info 5 and Pit Stop
 The order of departure from the *Havet* Ship are as follows:

1. Micky & Abe
2. Alex & Wilted
3. Asia & Jojo
4. Mega & Cloud
5. Iconic & Brittnee
 Teams must take a train from the Copenhagen Central Station to Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Upon arrival, teams must make their way to the location depicted in a provided picture, which they must figure out was the Lightvessel No. 11 in Leuvehaven, where they would claim departure times the following morning. The first team would depart at 5:00 am, with teams leaving 15 minutes apart.

 Teams must make their way on foot to Kop van Zuid and take a water taxi to the Kinderdijk Windmills, where they would find their next clue.

 "*Who wants to pick the sunflowers?*"

The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock must refer to a provided example, then find an exact match of Vincent van Gogh's *Sunflowers* placed among many decoys with only minor differences around the nearby windmills. Once they find an exact match, a miller would give them their next clue. If they are incorrect, teams must return the painting where they found it before they may continue searching.

The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:

* Alex & Wilted
* Asia & Jojo
* Iconic & Brittnee
* Mega & Cloud
* Micky & Abe
 Teams must count the Kinderdijk Windmills from a marked platform and deliver that number of tulips to the *Spakenburgermeisje* at a marked stand in exchange for their next clue.

 Teams must take a water taxi to Nolet Distillery, where they would find their next clue.

**Choice A:** *Ship*
Teams must take a tram to Millennium Tower, where they must use a training simulator to navigate a simulation of the Port of Rotterdam in stormy weather to complete a two-part mission. With one member acting as the captain and the other as the navigator, they must first deliver a pilot to one of the ships in the water, then come to the aid of a ship in distress. If they could complete the mission in under five minutes, the captain would give them their next clue. If they run out of time before completing the mission, they must go to the back of the line before they are allowed to try again.

Alex & Wilted, Mega & Cloud, and Micky & Abe chose this task.

**Choice B:** *Skip*
Teams must take a tram to Leuvehoofd Park, where they must learn a Double Dutch clapping routine on a jump rope. If they could perform the routine for 45 seconds, they would receive their next clue.

Asia & Jojo and Iconic & Brittnee chose this task. Teams must take a train to The Hague, then take a tram to the Peace Palace to check in.

For coming in first place, Micky & Abe won cash prize from Fitbit matching the total sum of footsteps they took over the course of the leg, which totaled $32,415, and a massage equivalent to the higher heart rate of the team member upon checking in, 86 minutes, during the Pit Stop.

For coming in last place, Asia & Jojo will have to perform a **Speed Bump** at some point during the next leg of the race.
