User:The Flaming Sword of Fury/RR Chapter 4

“Last time on the Ridonculous Race: Teams traveled to Paris where their wills were tested, their artistic limits were pushed, their bravery was challenged. In the end, it was the Police Cadets who took victory over the Ice Dancers. Despite a close call for the RTV Pros, for the Tennis Rivals it was game set, someone light a match because oh boy did they stink! Who’ll stink it up today, they all have potential! But we can only send one team home! Who will it be? Find out on: The Ridonculous Race!”

(theme song plays)

“Yesterday’s chill zone was the Louvre, which is today’s starting point. Like before, teams will depart in the order they arrived in. Which means the cadets are-” Don was interrupted by the Ice Dancers trying to sneak off.

“Woah woah, yesterday’s winners go first ice capades!” He notified, to which the Ice Dancers simply glared at him and moved aside for the Cadets. “Yeah, relax Silver Streak!” MacArthur said.

“Wait your turn!” Sanders said.

(Team Interview: Sanders and MacArthur)

“I’ve got my eye on those two Ice Dancers. Give them an edge, and they might take the whole race! Not only that, but they’re super creepy!” MacArthur said. Sanders said nothing but nodded in agreement.

(Team Interview Over)

Sanders pressed the Don Box and grabbed the tip inside it, which read, “Take the train to Calanque de Maubois on the Mediterranean coast and search the station for your next tip.”

“Teams must take the train south to Calanque de Maubois. Calanque de Maubois skirts the Mediterranean on the South of France with sand so fine, you WANT it to get into your shorts. The Red Cliffs are just one of the many sites that makes this a popular tourist spot. Did I mention that the beaches are awesome? Because they are, oh so very, awesome.” Don narrated.

After the Cadets left, the Ice Dancers and Surfer Dudes both hurried over to the Don Box excitedly and grabbed their travel tips.

“We’ve got to head to Clock da Mobois?” Brody mispronounced the name.

“I’m no French expert, but I’m pretty sure that’s not how it’s pronounced.” Geoff said. The Ice Dancers overheard the two and twitched their eyes in annoyance.

(Team Interview: Jacques and Josee)

“First, we get bronze, then we get silver, then we have to listen to these two muscle heads butcher the French language? UGH I could use something to break right now!” Josee said angrily.

“Calm down Josee! While what they did was annoying, I doubt the tanned one knew any better!” Jacques tried to reassure Josee, but she only snapped at him.

“Don’t TELL ME to calm down!” She said.

(Team Interview Over)

After the two teams departed, the Best Friends and Father and Son ran to get their next tip. When Devin pressed the Don Box, his tip was stolen by a mime, he immediately gave chase to the mime. During this time, Junior stood next to Carrie and was immediately lovestruck by the sight of her. He took this opportunity to strike up a conversation with her.

“Hey, I’m Dwayne!” Junior said in a stereotypically manly voice.

“Oh, hello there! I’m Carrie, it’s nice to meet you.” Carrie outstretched her hand, and Junior nearly managed to shake her hand using his own, before being interrupted by Dwayne.

“Nice to meet you! I’m Dwayne, I see you’ve already met my son Junior! He’s very sarcastic, but he’s a good boy at heart! Aren’t you pal!” Dwayne patted his son’s head.

“Daaad!” Junior complained. Carrie smiled at the two of them and said, “Well it’s nice to meet you both! I wish you good luck on the race!”

“Ah, and to you and your partner as well!” Dwayne cheered.

Devin ran back to the starting area with a smile on his face and a travel tip in his hands, and said, “Come on homie, we’ve got to go!” Carrie smiled and followed him.

(Team Interview: Dwayne and Junior)

“My dad always finds a way to embarrass me.” Junior commented.

“Ah, you know that’s not true son! Haha, you’re just being self-conscious! Oh, I also managed to wash your lucky underwear the other day!” Dwayne said holding a pair of underwear with a four-leaf clover pattern.

“Daaaad!” Junior groaned.

(Team Interview Over)

Meanwhile, MacArthur and Sanders were not having good fortune at being able to find a cab. Finally, MacArthur got fed up, flung herself on the nearest cab that passed by and flashed her police badge at the driver.

“Police, we are commandeering this vehicle, maggot!” She said. The driver was freaked out, but graciously let the Cadets ride the cab anyway.

“Got one!” She said to Sanders, who simply looked at her in disbelief.

(Team Interview: MacArthur and Sanders)

“I’m a little worried about MacArthur. Sometimes she gets a little too aggressive, and things go out of hand rather quickly.” Sanders said.

“Huh, what did you say? I dare you to say that again!” MacArthur said. Sanders recoiled in fear, but MacArthur only laughed.

“I’m just kidding you, you know I’d never hurt a hair on your pretty little head. Lighten up!” MacArthur said, “I’m serious though, lighten up!”

(Team Interview Over)

The Ice Dancers on the other hand, managed to find a faster route to the train station. They stopped in front of a subway station entrance and Jacques said, “Ah, we have found ze gold! With this subway, we shall be given a ticket to first place!” The two ran inside the station and the Surfers followed them.

(Team Interview: Geoff and Brody)

“Our strategy is pretty simple: We just follow a team that looks like they know what they’re doing and do exactly what they do!” Brody said.

“Not only that, but we do it even better. We don’t want to give the teams the impression that we know what’s going on, so we’re practically just coat tailing!” Geoff said.

“Brilliant idea, man!” Brody said, and the two yet again fist bumped.

(Team Interview Over)

After a while, it was time for the Sisters to receive their next travel tip, Emma quickly ran up to the Don Box and received their tip.

“Alright, it’s time to have some fun, teammate of mine!” Kitty said.

“Kitty, there will never be a time to have fun! Especially not now, we have to board a train station to Calanque de Maubois!” Emma said.

“Alright, sounds like a good time!” Kitty chirped.

“Would you quit that already?” Emma said.

MacArthur was driving the cab she had commandeered from the driver who was staring at the two confused.

“Alright Sanders, I need directions!” MacArthur said.

Sanders rummaged around and commented, “There’s no map in the glove box!”

“Time for bad cop!” MacArthur said, she stopped the vehicle and shouted into the terrified driver’s face, “TRAIN STATION. DIRECTIONS. NOOOOOOOW!”

A few minutes later, Sanders pointed to the train station and shouted, “There it is!”

“Hold on, I gotta try something. Saw this in a movie once!” MacArthur said, she proceeded to spin the wheel very quickly, making the car spin out into a parking area, and somehow managing to position it perfectly into a parking spot. She got out of the car and put a slip of yellow paper on it.

“This is for parking in a fire zone!”

(Team Interview: Sanders and MacArthur)

“Is it even legal to give a ticket outside of our jurisdiction?” Sanders said. MacArthur said nothing but wrote on a slip of paper and presented it to Sanders.

“What…violation for excessive complaining? That’s not even a real violation!” Sanders said.

(Team Interview Over)

The first five teams managed to reach the station, however Dwayne was lagging.

“Come on Dad!” Junior shouted.

“I-I’m coming son!” Dwayne followed him slowly, while panting.

“While the first five teams managed to catch the train, the other eleven are still racing to catch the next train!” Don narrated.

Meanwhile, the Fashion Bloggers were currently trying out some of their new accessories that they had bought in France in their cab.

“The South of France is where the most glamorous people in the world hang out! It’s like Paris, but with glossier lipstick!” Jen commented. Tom suddenly gasped and started rummaging around in one of the bags.

“I sure hope I remembered to get this!” He said, he pulled out a bottle of spray tan and breathed a sigh of relief, “Oh phew…I thought I forgot this! Would you like to try some on, Jen?”

“That’s not even a question. OF COURSE, I do, Tom!” Jen said. Tom proceeded to start spraying and the cab quickly filled up with the spray.

Behind them followed the Geniuses, who were currently giving the driver directions to the train station.

“Take LeBron to Canal.” Mary started.

“Canal to Jermaine!” Ellody continued.

“Jermaine to Belmont!” Mary said.

“Turn left on Legrand!” Ellody said.

“Reverse on to Borough!” Mary said.

“And U turn back to Legrand’s Delta south of Dunkirk!” Ellody and Mary said together.

“That was elementary!” Mary chuckled and Ellody soon joined her.

(Team Interview: Ellody and Mary)

“We might not have been the most popular people in high school but memorizing street maps of every urban center is just as fun as going to parties or going on dates!” Ellody said.

“Yeah, I could just spend hours looking at street maps. Totally beats going to parties any day of the week!” Mary said.

(Team Interview Over)

Lorenzo was looking at a poster on the train station when Chet ran up to him sweating bullets.

“N-no fair jerk!” Chet said.

“Not my fault you missed the subway and had to take a taxi instead doofus!” Lorenzo said.

“Only because you didn’t bother trying to wait for me when I was in the bathroom!” Chet said.

Lorenzo just simply shrugged and said, “You could’ve just held it, idiot!” Chet got angry and the two once again started beating each other up.

As they were wrestling, the Sisters were currently riding in a rather nice-looking taxi. Kitty offered her phone to the driver and asked, “Hey, do you mind taking a picture of me and my sis? We’re currently taking a trip around the world and I just want to keep some memories!”

“Kitty, why can’t you take things seriously for once! This is a race, not a vacation!” Emma said.

“I just want to be able to share some memories with my big sister, is that so wrong? Besides, you gotta just loosen up and have fun sometimes! Just one picture of me and my big sister in France! PARIIIIIIS!” Kitty said, she roped Emma in and took a picture of the two.

“Ugh, I can’t believe you still act this way!” Emma snapped. She turned away from Kitty, who simply glared at her while she wasn’t looking.

After the Stepbrothers had arrived at the station, multiple other teams had as well. The Daters were currently making out as usual, while the Geniuses were talking to the Bloggers who were completely orange from the tan.

“Your skin pigmentation looks like it’s received too much dihydroxyacetone!” Mary chuckled, the two both started laughing while the Bloggers simply exchanged confused glances.

“What on earth are they laughing at?” Jen said.

“Beats me, but let’s not worry about it. They’re probably just jealous of how fabulous we look!” Tom said and struck a flamboyant pose after he had finished talking which only caused the Geniuses to laugh harder.

“As Group 2 waits at the train station, Group 1 has finally arrived!” Don said. After the five teams departed the train, they immediately started racing to the Don Box. Dwayne was the first to press the Don Box and receive his tip, with Brody pressing it right after him.

“It’s a botch or watch!” Dwayne said as he ran back to Junior, “Lucky for you little man! You don’t have to do it. It says we have to…get a tip off a shark.”

“In this botch or watch: whoever didn’t draw the caricature in Paris must swim to this part of the Mediterranean and manage to catch their next tip. But, there’s a catch, all tips have been attached to these hungry great white- “Don was cut off by a shark trying to attack him.

“Hah, so you want a taste of this huh? You wanna dance with the Widowmaker?” His boat was once again tipped by the shark and he fell back and screamed.

“Note: Eaten teammates will result in disqualification for the team in question…well that’s a relief…” Sanders said with a concerned expression on her face.

“Be right back homie! I hope…” Devin said looking worried as he stepped into the water. “Crush it bro! You can do this!” Geoff encouraged Brody.

“Thanks man, consider it crushed!” Brody said.

(Contestant Interview: Brody)

“These botch or watch challenges are the absolute worst! I always feel like I’m going to goof these up! Worst of all, I’m afraid of what my partner might say afterwards. Geoff’s a really nice guy, but sometimes he goes just a teensy bit too far. Luckily, I’ve been high school swim team captain for the past 3 years so…I should be perfectly fine with this one!” Brody said.

(Contestant Interview Over)

“Swim with sharks? Man did I dodge a bullet with this one!” MacArthur chuckled.

“Not helping MacArthur!” Sanders said, looking nervous.

“No offense, I’m just glad I’m not you right now, haha!” MacArthur said, she grew impatient with Sanders and pushed her into the water.

“She’ll be fine, shark attacks aren’t even the leading cause of death anymore!” MacArthur chuckled.

Devin, Josee, and Dwayne were all in the water, Josee was diving in and out of the water, while Dwayne was barely swimming at all.

(Team Interview: Dwayne and Junior)

“Turns out swimming in shark infested water is way harder on the old body than sitting at a desk all day! Who knew?” Dwayne said.

(Team Interview Over)

Josee then proceeded to do a backflip in the water, and gracefully grabbed her tip from a shark. Devin saw this and looked at her impressed, “Wow, nice move!” He said. Devin then proceeded to chase another shark that still had a tip attached to its dorsal fin. Right as he was about to grab the tip, Brody jumped on it and started wrestling with it.

“Sorry dude! But I really need this tip!” Brody shouted. Devin simply shrugged and swam off to find another shark.

While they were still swimming, Train 2 had arrived with almost all the remaining teams.

“Hey…wasn’t there 5 teams when we boarded this train?” Ellody commented.

“Maybe one of them missed the train. It would really stink to be that team then!” Mary chuckled. The 4 teams on the train then raced to grab their tips.

Meanwhile, Devin had decided to go underwater to receive a tip from the shark. He had found one, and managed to retrieve it from the fin, but the shark had noticed and swam after Devin in pursuit. He dropped the tip in fear of the shark and it floated up to the top to where Dwayne was still struggling to swim. He grabbed the tip and grinned.

“Well, that doesn’t happen every day!” He cheered.

(Team Interview: Dwayne and Junior)

“Wow dad, I’m actually kind of proud of you! It takes guts to swim out in shark infested water!” Junior remarked.

“Haha, oh Junior. This isn’t my first shark rodeo, pal. If anything, they should have been scared of the Dwayne man! HI YA!” Dwayne started screaming and punching the air, until he accidentally cracked the camera.

“Oh…oops!” Dwayne said.

(Team Interview Over)

“So, let me get this straight? You have to draw a stupid caricature, while I have to drink stew that was so hot it gave me stomach cramps and SWIM INTO SHARK INFESTED WATER?! This is so unfair!” Chet shouted as he walked into the water.

“Yeah yeah yeah, stop whining you big baby! It’s just a dumb shark!” Lorenzo said.

“Baby, if that shark eats you, I will murder and cook that shark just so we can be together!” Stephanie said as Ryan prepared to go into the water.

“Awww, you’re so cute when you’re being protective. But don’t worry! I’ll be careful!” Ryan said. He caressed Stephanie’s cheek and kissed her once more before heading out into the ocean.

Suddenly the whistles of a steamboat sounded, and two figures appeared on it. Those two figures turned out to be the Fashion Bloggers.

“Hi everyone! Hope you didn’t miss us too much!” Tom said.

(Team Interview: Jen and Tom) “So, the craziest thing just happened to us! We stepped off the train for a moment.” Jen explained.

“Just to breathe it in and right there on the platform was the Prince of Monaco!” Tom squealed.

“He asked us where we were heading, one thing leads to another and we get to party on a yacht!” Jen said.

“I’m so glad we made that decision. Not only does the Prince of Monaco have ridiculously great fashion sense. He’s also a great party host! A great party and a great eye candy, what more could you want?” Tom squealed excitedly.

“I know right?” Jen agreed.

(Team Interview Over)

“Thanks for the ride your highness!” Jen said. The two prepared to dive off into the water, before a shark jumped up and Tom jumped into Jen’s arms while screaming.

Jen looked into the water, scared and asked, “Is that a tip I saw? Are we going…. diving for sharks?”

“She is beauty, grace, and strength! Every move she makes makes a swan feel ugly!” Jacques marveled as Josee maneuvered through the water. A swan overheard his statement and bit him on the butt, he rubbed it and looked at the swan annoyed.

“Go get a bucket, son! We got to build a sandcastle!” Dwayne said.

“Dwayne might be drowning, but he’s right! For this task, teams must complete a sandcastle made in the form of the Palace of Versailles. When local sandcastle building expert Sandy McCastles, if that’s even his real name, approves of their sandcastle they will receive their next tip!” Don said.

Sanders stumbled out of the water, with a travel tip in her hand.

“It’s about time you got here!” MacArthur said, she scanned over the note and said, “Looks like we got to build a sandcastle. Stand up, Sanders! We have work to do!” She grabbed Sanders by the arm and stood her up.

“Fine…” Sanders said as she followed MacArthur.

In the water however, several team members were struggling to get their tip. Some, such as Tom and Chet were being chased, while Ryan had decided to wrestle with the shark instead. Devin successfully retrieved a tip and resurfaced. However, it was revealed that there was another angry shark underneath him. He was knocked off by the shark and screamed as it started to chase after him.

Mary on the other hand had a different idea. She kept part of her head underwater before popping up exposing more of her body. Two hungry sharks screeched at her before getting scared and running away. One of them left a tip, which Mary grabbed, and she smiled evilly as she revealed the real cause of their fear, a magnet.

(Team Interview: Ellody and Mary) “Sharks may not be afraid of me, but they ARE afraid of magnets!” Mary explained.

“Technically, it’s not really a fear.” Ellody commented.

“Of course, I knew that! I was being facetious, charged metals and saltwater create a weak electric field which disrupts the sharks’ electroreception senses.” Mary said.

“We should explain, you see, saltwater is an ionic solution. It contains particles with unpaired electrons.” Ellody said.

“I wish we had a dry erase board to show the viewers.” Mary said.

(Team Interview Over)

Meanwhile, the last train had arrived carrying the remaining teams. They all raced to get their tips and ran over to the beach. Brody however was still struggling with his shark and Rock had managed to muster up the courage to go in to the water.

(Team Interview: Rock and Spud) “I’d do pretty much anything for the good of our team. But sharks? Sharks are scary! I don’t mind dealing with it too much though. Even though I’m only 18, my parents really want me to get my own place. If I win the money, I’ll be able to build my own basement! I would also appreciate it if a certain someone was more helpful.” Rock said, looking aside at Spud who was busy wearing his headphones.

One minute later, Spud pulled them off and said, “Sorry dude, you were saying something?”

(Team Interview Over)

Crimson managed to easily get her travel tip, by simply staring at the shark. It ran away in fear and in the process, dropped a tip which fell into her grasp. Emma had also managed to grab her tip from the shark.

(Team Interview: Emma and Kitty)

“I was scared, but, I was glad Kitty didn’t have to do it.” Emma said.

“Awwww…” Kitty said, with a smile on her face.

“If anything happened to her, we’d be disqualified! And I can’t have that happen, I need this money!” Emma said with a serious expression on her face, Kitty simply looked saddened.

(Team Interview Over)

Jay on the other hand was having his own troubles with the shark. By a stroke of luck, he ended up simply grabbing a tip that had fallen off a shark who was chasing another person and cheered.

Meanwhile, back on the beach, some of the teams had started building their sandcastle. On the other hand, Chet and Lorenzo decided to waste time simply having a sand fight.

“Are you sure this has to be big?” Sanders says remarking on the size of their sandcastle.

“Do you want to take a chance on losing here? We go big or we go home!” MacArthur asked.

“Did you hear that? Go big or go home!” Emma ordered Kitty.

The Geniuses however, didn’t even start their sandcastle. They were busy writing out a very complex equation out instead.

(Team Interview: Ellody and Mary)

“Those other teams are too over their heads. They don’t understand that in order to make a perfect model, you also need the perfect data!” Ellody remarked.

“Yeah, just goes to show you we really know how to build models!” Mary chuckled.

(Team Interview Over)

Dwayne thought he had his sandcastle finished and called Sandy over, who shook his head in disapproval of Dwayne’s sandcastle.

“Hey, I was making sandcastles while you were making them in your pants!” Dwayne called after Sandy had walked away.

Owen had finally managed to grab his tip and in distress farted when 3 sharks were circling him. Back on the beach, Kelly and Taylor were still working on their sandcastles while Rock had only just started his.

He saw Spud rocking out in the sand and said, “Spud, you need to help out! This is a team effort!”

Spud looked at him and gave him a thumbs up that was hidden under the sand. Rock rolled his eyes, annoyed with his partner, and continued to work on his sandcastle. Eventually, he heard some sand being moved and saw his partner start to try helping, by throwing sand.

“Dude, what are you doing?” Rock said.

“Helping!” Spud exclaimed.

“If we win the money, I’m gonna start a charity, to help the preservation of these poor misunderstood creatures.” Miles said while petting a shark. She grabbed the tip and the shark roared, and Miles ran away scared as it gave chase.

(Team Interview: Laurie and Miles)

“You know what? Scratch sharks off of my preservation list!” Miles said.

Laurie gasped and said, “I can’t believe you would ever say something like that!”

“I know! It feels…weird.” Miles said.

(Team Interview Over)

A little while later, almost every team had finished the first part of the challenge besides Brody and Geoff; the former still being wrestling a shark. Dwayne and Junior called over Sandy again to view their rebuilt sand castle. He saw it and gave them a thumbs up, giving them their next travel tip.

“Grab a speedboat and follow the GPS to the chill zone on the southern tip of Iceland?!” Dwayne said.

“Iceland, the southernmost dock of this frigid island is the finish line for this leg of the race! The last team to arrive may be eliminated!” Don said.

“Awww look at the cute little castle!” Kitty said, looking at what Dwayne and Junior had built.

“Wait, hold the sandphone! It doesn’t have to be big! Sanders, we gotta change plans!” MacArthur said.

“You heard them! It doesn’t have to be big!” Emma said.

Meanwhile, Dwayne and Junior were trying to get their speedboat without much luck.

“Come on let’s grab a different boat!” Junior said.

“Nah, we just gotta adjust this tube mechanism thingy!” Dwayne said.

(Team Interview: Dwayne and Junior)

“My dad tried to attach a bell to my bike once. When he finished, the wheels were gone, just gone.” Junior said.

“It was a Swedish bell, very complicated…was that also the summer you walked everywhere?” Dwayne asked Junior who nodded in response.

(Team Interview Over)

The two finally managed to reach a boat that had worked, in which Junior showed Dwayne how to activate the boat. The two immediately sped off. Meanwhile, Brody had finally managed to come back with the tip, however only with him fitted into a shark’s mouth. He fell over and was spat out of the shark with the tip intact.

“That…was sick man!” Brody said.

Meanwhile, Sandy had approved the Bloggers’ sandcastle and the two raced off to find a speedboat. The Ice Dancers followed them after having their sandcastle approved as well. Unfortunately for the Best Friends, they weren’t having such good luck getting their boat to work.

“Is this thing broken?” Devin commented.

“I hope not, I don’t want to be eliminated because of a broken boat!” Carrie said. Fortunately, after a few more tries, the boat started to run, and they immediately sped off with the Cadets following them.

Somehow, the Stepbrothers managed to get their sandcastle approved and even reached the speedboats. But they still fought over who should drive.

“At least I have my driver’s license! That by default gives me more privilege! You don’t even have your learner’s permit doofus!” Chet said.

“This is a boat, nut brain, not a car!” Lorenzo said. Amidst their fighting, they accidentally got the boat started and sped off. The Best Friends on the other hand were having troubles with their boat and the motor was starting to emit smoke.

“Oh no, we got a problem! Any faster and the motor will die!” Devin said. The Cadets passed by them and Sanders waved at them.

“I hope you have a permit to barbecue on that thing!” Sanders said.

The Father and Son team had managed to arrive to the Chill Zone, however they were stopped by Don, “20-minute penalty! You read the travel tip before you had reunited with Junior!”

“Oh,come on, what can I give you? A coupon? There’s one for McDonough’s, you can get a free iced coffee…oh that one’s expired. But how about- “Dwayne was cut off by Don who said, “20 minutes, that is final!” The two of them stepped aside and Dwayne glanced at Don annoyed. Soon after the Father and Son’s penalty was issued, the Fashion Bloggers got off their boat and ran to the carpet of completion.

“Jennifer, Thomas, you’ve arrived second but there is 20-minute penalty for the both of you! You both did not board the train as the tip told you to do so and instead rode a yacht!” Don said. The bloggers rolled their eyes and stepped aside from the mat with annoyed expressions on their faces.

(Team Interview: Tom and Jen)

“Whatevs. A 20-minute penalty isn’t going to affect us that badly. I mean, we got to ride on a yacht and party with a prince on a yacht!” Tom said.

“I know right? Don sooooo wishes he was us!” Jen said.

(Team Interview Over)

Back at the beach, the Geniuses had finally finished their data, “300,073.996 cubic yards! Perfect, now all we need to do, is create the perfect model to represent our data!” Ellody said. Unfortunately for them it was washed away by an incoming wave.

“Oh no! Our data! We have to redo it!” Ellody said.

“Or, we could just simply wing it!” Mary suggested.

“Wing it? Mary I’m a scientist, I don’t know how to wing it!” She grabbed Mary by the shoulders and shook her.

“Jacques, Josee, you have come in first! You two are unusually calm!” Don said to the duo who were currently blowing kisses to the cameras.

(Team Interview: Jacques and Josee)

Jacques and Josee do nothing but squeal and kiss the camera. They are also shown dancing and have an authentically happy grin on their face for once.

(Team Interview Over)

Owen and Noah raced to the mat and were called in second place, to which they cheered.

“Third!” Don called to the Cadets, when they arrived, who simply high fived each other in response.

“Dude, we’re dead last!” Brody said to Geoff after their sandcastle was approved.

“Guess we’ll have to double time it bro!” Geoff said, he grabbed Brody’s hand and dragged him.

“Did you hear something?” Ellody asked worriedly.

“No, now come on, we need to finish this sandcastle!” Mary said.

“Fourth!” Don called Dwayne and Junior as soon as their penalty ended and had stepped on the mat. The Bloggers on the other hand had only one-minute remaining. Luckily, no team had arrived during that minute and they were called in fifth place.

The Surfer Dudes, during this time, had managed to find a working speedboat and sped off after activating it.

“Sixth!” A picture of the Daters was shown.

“Seventh!” A picture of the Stepbrothers was shown.

“Eighth!” A picture of the Goths was shown.

“Ninth!” A picture of the Sisters was shown. After they checked in, a random pair of locals appeared.

“Who are you and what are you doing on my show?” Don asked.

“Oh, we just wanted to say we are great fans of your work!” The male local said.

“Yes, and we would like your autograph!” The female local said.

“Oh, that’s sweet, but you’ll have to wait, I’m kinda in the middle of a show right now.” The couple nodded in understanding and left the area.

“Tenth!” A picture of the Mom and Daughter appeared.

“Eleventh!” A picture of the Vegans appeared.

“Twelfth!” A picture of the Adversity Twins appeared.

“Thirteenth!” A picture of the Rockers appeared.

The Best Friends’ speedboats’ motor was still stuttering, and the speedboat was managing to move even slower.

“Looks like we might be headed home, Carrie.” Devin said with a serious expression on his face.

(Team Interview: Carrie and Devin)

“So unfair that we would be cut from this competition all due to a faulty motor and not something we did wrong. We make a great team.” Devin said, placing his hand on Carrie’s shoulder.

“Yeah, we really are." Carrie said.

(Team Interview Over)

While the Surfer Dudes had somewhat better luck with their speedboat initially, their motor had unfortunately started sputtering electricity and it broke down almost immediately.

“Ughh…we’re going to be eliminated. And it’s going to be all my fault.” Brody said, getting choked up.

“Aw, dude…it’s fine! Really, no act on your part could have possibly prevented this man.” Geoff said.

“You think so?” Brody sniffled, wiping a tear from his eye.

“I know so, in fact, I have a wicked idea man, but you’ll have to agree to it!” Geoff said. Brody simply nodded, and Geoff immediately whispered something in his ear.

“Are you insane? I mean, I’d do that but that sounds insanely wicked bro! If it saves us, then sure!” Brody said, perking back up. He poked at the electricity sputtering motor, and in the process of electrocuting himself also managed to cause the speedboat to move. He repeated this action constantly, which helped the duo moved faster through the water.

“Homie, I see it, I see Iceland!” Carrie cheered, pointing to the location of the Chill Zone.

“Good eye, homie! Maybe we won’t go home after all!” Devin cheered.

“Yeah…maybe!” Carrie agreed.

At the same time, Geoff also managed to spot Iceland, and Brody continued to electrocute himself purposefully. Once the Best Friends hit the dock, the two raced to the carpet.

“Congratulations Best Friends, you’re in fourteenth!” Don cheered, the two hugged each other tightly in relief and after releasing had a huge grin on their faces. They stepped off the mat once they heard rapid footsteps, which turned out to be Geoff holding his unconscious partner.

“Um what happened to your partner?” Carrie asked Geoff. Geoff didn’t reply but looked at Don worriedly.

“Give us the news man…” Geoff said. “Surfers…I’m sorry to say this, but…you’re not in last place!” Don announced, causing Geoff to cheer.

“Yes, we did it man! Well, mostly you did it, BUT we still did it bro!” Geoff cheered.

“I’ll be right back. I have to give the last team the bad news…” Don said.

A few hours later, Don reappeared in a helicopter hovering over the beach.

“Geniuses, I am sorry to say this, but you are in sixteenth place! You have been cut from the race, and you can stop building your sandcastle now! I’m in a helicopter isn’t this cool?!” Don announced.

The Geniuses looked up and sighed at each other. As soon as they got up, a montage of moments from the team started playing.

“How ironic, our strength in urban planning also ended up being our downfall!” Ellody said.

“That just proves how flawed this show is, but we played our part.” Mary said.

“I really do wonder about the girl in pigtails though. It would have been interesting to see her relationship with her sister play out more…even if it was just more for a research purpose than actual interest.” Ellody said.

“She’ll be fine, I have no doubts about that!” Mary said

“Anyways, I guess this just goes to show, that geniuses aren’t always as smart as they think!” Ellody said. The two immediately started laughing at this statement.
