Oops. Sorry to keep you readers and fans (if, there are still any) waiting so long. I had exams in the past few weeks and really could not find the time to write out the next leg. I'll try to finish it up by the end of this week. So expect it around Sunday latest.

LEG 5: "There's no such thing as karma". - Jason

Phil: Previously on The Amazing Race. Ten teams set out from the freezing climate of Greenland to the Republic of Ireland. Airport skills as well as luck were crucial in getting the best flights into Ireland.

Counter: Michael?
Counter: You are now on the flight. Please proceed to the gate.
Counter: Henry & Florence? You're on the flight
Counter: Brandon & Alexa… I'm sorry but we couldn't add you on the flight.

Alexa: Oh no. Oh no.

Phil: In Ireland, Jessica & Ashley, already at the back of the pack decided to go for the Fast-Forward, in a bid to escape elimination. It wasn't easy as the task was a cryptic riddle.

Jessica: Hmm… Gigantic needle in a haystack?
Ashley: What does this mean?

Phil: And being at the back of the pack for the first time in the race, Brandon & Alexa's already rocky relationship hit rockbottom.

Alexa: Why the hell are you yelling at me?
Alexa: I'm not going to put up with your nonsense anymore. You immature brat.

Brandon: Look Alexa. You told me to go this way. We were supposed to go THAT way. You just fucking screwed us up.

-Alexa starts crying-

Phil: In the end, Brandon & Alexa just couldn't keep up. And they became the 3rd team to be eliminated from The Amazing Race.

Alexa: It's alright, Phil. I wanted out anyway.

Phil: Now… only 9 teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?


-Credits roll-


Phil: This is Finbarre's Cathedral, in the Cork district of the Republic of Ireland. This magnificent structure built in the 7th century is the fourth pit-stop in a race around the world.

Phil: Henry & Florence… who were the first team to arrive at 7.11pm, will depart at 7.11am.

Florence: Alright. Start of the 5th leg!

-opens up clue-

Henry: Fly to Monaco!
Florence: Awesome. The land of the rich.

Phil: Teams must now make their way to the airport and search for available flights to take them to Monaco.

Florence (conf): Coming in first is certainly a morale booster for us.
Henry (conf): We certainly have shown all the other teams that we aren't pushovers.
Florence (conf): We're not here for a holiday. We're here to win!

-Michael & Tiffany depart at 7.22am-

Tiffany: Awesome, baby. Monaco.
Michael: That's not too far from here, I think.
Michael (conf): So far Tiff & I have been doing well. Hopefully we continue till the end of the race and win it all.
Tiffany (conf): Hopefully…

-Jenn & Nicole depart at 7.43am-

Nicole: Alright. Off to another European country.
Jenn (conf): We're certainly having fun in this race.
Nicole (conf): And while we're having fun… we're doing good as well.

-Jason & Nicholas depart at 7.56am-

Nicholas: Monaco? Where's that? Asia?
Jason: Think so.

-Thomas & Zoey depart at 7.58am-
Zoey: Alright come on, Dad. Gotta hustle to the airport!

-Jeffrey & Ryan depart at 8.12am-
Ryan: Any idea where Monaco is?
Jeffrey: Not a clue…!

-Dorothy & Lauren depart at 8.20am-
Dorothy: Come on, Lauren. Taxi's there.
Lauren: Coming…!

-Jessica & Ashley depart at 8.44am-
Ashley: Well, well. Monaco.
Jessica: That's GREAT.
Jessica (conf): When we found out we're going to Monaco, we were delighted because we lived there for a couple of years when we were teenagers.
Ashley: This is gonna be a fun leg, Jess.
Jessica: Definitely.

-Melissa & Sean are the last to depart, at 10.25am-
Melissa: Lots of catching up to do.
Sean (conf): Being more than 2 hours from the next team really sucks.
Melissa (conf): We started off the leg feeling really horrible.

-all teams arrived at the airport only to find out that they're all stuck on the same flight with each other because an earlier flight had been cancelled-

Henry: Wow.
Florence: This really sucks big time.

Michael: There goes our lead.
Tiffany: Crap.

Sean: This is the leg we make a comeback.
Melissa: We're all equalized now… Finally.

Jessica: This is great. Now we are all on an equal footing.
Ashley: This leg, we'll do our absolute best.

Thomas: It's anybody's game now.

Nicole: Anyone of us could be eliminated today.
Jenn: It's not gonna be us.

Lauren: We're not going home this leg!

Phil: All teams are now on the same flight to the small island of Monaco. Once teams land in Monte-Carlo, they have to make their way on foot to the "Las Vegas Hotel" where their next clue will be waiting at the entrance.

-the plane lands and there is a mad scramble out of the airport-

Sean: Mom. This way!
Melissa: You absolutely sure?
Sean: Yeah! Follow me.
Sean (conf): Before we left Ireland, I did some research and found the best route to the hotel. I guess it really paid off.

Jenn: Nicole! I have a map. Let's run.
Nicole: Great job, babe.

Jessica: Ashley. I know the way. Come on. Run.
Ashley: I'm running already. And this is so exciting. Back to Monaco!!

Jason: Follow the girls. They know where they're going.
Nicholas: Alright.
Jason (conf): Our plan is to exploit the stupidity of other racers and leech of them when we can and then slowly kick them out of the race one by one.

Zoey: Dad! Why did you stop?
Thomas: I'm getting a map!
Zoey: Ughh.
Zoey (conf): As most daughters, I get frustrated with my Dad sometimes. It's just that I'm a more "head-on" type of person while my dad is more of a "plan then do" type of guy.
Zoey: HURRY UP, Dad.
Thomas: Alright, alright, Zoey. Chill. I got the map.
Zoey: Can we go now?
Thomas: Yes!
Thomas (conf): I've gotten used to her occasional tantrums and stuff. So it's not really a big deal anymore.

Jeffrey: That way, Ryan.
Ryan: You sure??
Jeffrey: I think so. Come on.

Tiffany: Michael.
Michael: What?
Tiffany: I can't run. I feel so tired.
Michael: Give me your bag.
Tiffany (conf): After the flight to Monaco, I don't know what came over me. I felt nauseous and I was totally out of shape. Thank goodness for Michael…

Henry: Is that the hotel, Flo?
Florence: I think so. Come on. It's just about five minutes away.

Dorothy: Follow them, Lauren?
Lauren: Yeah, I think we should.
Lauren (conf): We thought Henry & Florence were really good racers and so we followed them. But it turns out… they had no idea where they were going.

Henry: Flo! This is not it!
Florence: Damn. We're screwed then. We went the wrong way.

Lauren: You guys, this is not it?
Henry: I'm afraid not.
Dorothy: Nevermind. Lauren! Let's go.


Florence (conf): It was embarrassing to be leading another team the wrong way.
Henry (conf): Typical case of the blind leading the blind.
---

Melissa: Sean! There's the box.
Sean: Great spotting, Mom!

-rips open clue-

Sean: Route Information… and a Fast Forward!

Phil: Teams now have to search the entire hotel for the famous Casino. Once there, teams have to play Blackjack with a professional dealer and once they've won 3 games, they will receive their next clue.

Teams however, who want to opt for the Fast-Forward will be playing a different game and with a risk. They will be playing Poker with a professional dealer and they have to win 2 rounds before they get their Fast-Forward award. This twist is that they will be using the race-allocated money as the stakes. The team will lose US$10 per round that they lose. It is a highly risky task and teams with bad luck, may find that their race has ended as it is.

Melissa: Do you wanna do the Fast Forward?
Sean: I dunno. It seems incredibly risky.
Melissa: I say we do it. At least get a 1st place while we're in the race.
Sean: Alright then. It's all or nothing now, Mom.
Melissa: Let's go!

Nicole: Dang. Melissa & Sean beat us here.

Jenn: Oh. Let's hope we're No.2 then.

Nicole: Hmm. I think it's still way too early to use our Fast Forward.

Jenn: And it's way too risky as well. Let's just do the blackjack.



Jessica: Ah there's the hotel.

Jason: Alright, let's overtake them bitches.

Nicholas: That was uncalled for.

Ashley: Oh damn. The boys just overtook us.

Ashley (conf): Jason is absolutely horrible. He takes advantage of others and shows zero gratitude. I feel sorry for Nick who has to be stuck with him.



Nicholas: Definitely the blackjack bro. Fast-Forward is too much risk.

Jason: Fine fine. Let's go then.



Jessica: Umm. Obviously we can't take the Fast-Forward… so yeah. Let's find the casino.



Zoey: Finally here.

Thomas: Fast-Forward?

Zoey: Nah. Someone probably is already trying it.

Zoey (conf): Our plan is to keep the Fast-Forward till the very end of the race…UNLESS we are really desperate to use it.



Tiffany: Thanks, honey.

Michael: Feeling better, Tiff?

Tiffany: Yeah. Come on. The clue's just there.

Michael: Okay. Let's do the blackjack. Safer.



Ryan: God. Where's that place? We've been wandering around like morons for awhile now…

Jeffrey: There! I see the box.

Ryan: Man. We're TOO lucky.

Jeffrey: Wanna do the blackjack?

Ryan: Hell yeah!!

Henry: Clue box at 4 o'clock.

Florence: Only 2 left. Crap.

Henry: Wanna do the Fast-Forward?

Florence: Nah.

Henry: Blackjack it is then…



Dorothy: Where is the place?

Lauren: There. Found it.

Dorothy: Let's do the blackjack.



---

Melissa: Wow. We've lost 30 dollars already.

Sean: This is getting really scary, Mom. We only have about 80 left.

Melissa: Let's hope our luck changes soon.



Nicole: Blackjack's fun. We've won 2 rounds so far.

Jenn: YES. Done.

Dealer: Here's your next clue.



Sean: Damn. Girls are fast.

Jenn: Travel by taxi to the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco-Ville.

Nicole: Come on. We're in the lead right now.



Ashley: Oh yes yes yes.

Jessica: Great choosing of cards!

Dealer: Congratulations.

Ashley: Off to the museum!



Jason: Crap. The bitches left.

Nicholas: I call this bad karma, Jason. Put a sock in your bloody mouth.

Jason: Shut up. There's no such thing as karma.



Zoey: One more…

Thomas: And done!

Dealer: Good job, here's your clue.

Zoey: Let's go, let's go!



Jason: Argh.



Melissa: YES. Finally won one.

Sean: Money check…

Melissa: 50 dollars left.

Sean: This is gonna be tight.



Jason: Finally!

Nicholas: Come on. Oceanographic Museum!



Tiffany: Drat. We're doing really badly, hun.

Michael: I know!! We haven't even won one yet. Damn.



Dorothy: Wow is this freaky or what. We played 2 rounds and won both!

Lauren: There goes our streak. We just lost this one.

Dorothy: It's alright. We're still in great shape.

Lauren: WOW. We won again?

Dealer: Here's your clue.

Lauren: THANK YOU.

Dorothy: This is what I call luck!

Lauren: Come on, come on. Let's move.



Henry: Man. Those guys are fast…

Florence: Focus, Henry.



Jeffrey: And finally, we're done.

Ryan: Awesome. Come on. Oceanographic museum is our destination.



Michael: Damn. This is horrible. We only won one round out of 20 so far.



Henry: Please… please… Let this be it.

Florence: YES.

Henry: Come on. We're still in this thing.

Melissa: Sean. This is bad. We'll need to save at least US$30 and we've only got 40 left...

Sean: We can't give up now, mom. We'll be definitely eliminated.

Melissa: It's all on luck now.



Tiffany: Ugh. Finally done. I hate this game.

Michael: Come on now, Tiff. We have lots of catching up to do.



Melissa: Please… let us win.

Sean: Come on…

Melissa: OH MY…

.

.

.

Sean: YES!!

Melissa: WOHOO.

Sean: We won the Fast-Forward, mom!

-hugs-

Dealer: Here is your Fast-Forward award. Congratulations.



Melissa: Fly to the Czech Republic!

Sean: WOW.



Phil: Having completed the Fast-Forward, Melissa & Sean may now skip all tasks and head directly to the pit-stop. However, as it is located not in Monaco but in Czech Republic, they will have to grab the earliest possible flight and fly into the Czech Republic. Once there, they will have to drive themselves to the town of Beroun and check in at the pit-stop at the Lookout on The Děd Hill.



Sean: Freaking awesome.

Melissa: Let's go now.



---



Jessica: The girlfriends are up ahead.

Ashley: Excuse me, Sir. Could you please overtake that taxi in front of us? We're in competition.

Taxi: Sure.



Jenn: NOO…

Nicole: Please. Drive faster, sir.

Taxi: I'm afraid I have to follow the speed limit.

Jenn & Nicole: -.-"



Jessica: Ahh. THAT has to be the museum.

Ashley: Let's make a run for it once we get there. The girlfriends are just a couple of meters behind us.



Jessica: It's a Roadblock!



Phil: A Roadblock is a task that only one person may perform. In this Roadblock, that person has to obtain 10 sets of pictures of fishes from the entrance and then use a provided camera to take a photograph of each of these fishes in the museum. However, the team member must figure out that they must take a photograph of a large 66-foot Whale Skeleton in the museum to correspond to the picture of a live whale in the provided pictures.



Jessica: Ashley. You do it. I've done 2 already.

Ashley: Alright. Wish me luck.

Jessica: Luck.

-Jenn & Nicole arrive a minute later-



Jenn: Roadblock.

Nicole: You do it, Jenn.

Jenn: Alright. Gimme a good luck kiss?

-kiss-



Thomas: I'll do this Roadblock, Zo.

Zoey: Good luck, Dad.



Nicholas: Time to make up for loss time.

Jason: It's a Roadblock.

Nicholas: You do it bro.



Dorothy: It's a Roadblock again…

Lauren: This doesn't seem too physical. Gran, you should do this one.

Dorothy: Alright



Jeffrey: Dude. I don't think he knows where he's going. We passed by this same street four times already!

Ryan: Do you wanna change taxi drivers then?

Jeffrey: Yeah I think we should.

-Jeffrey & Ryan change taxi drivers-



Michael: Good job, Lucas.

Michael (conf): We had a great taxi driver. He went over the speed limit, he took shortcuts and he got us there REAL fast.

Tiffany: At least we still have some luck on our side.

Michael: Roadblock. I'll do this one.

Tiffany: Go ahead. Good luck, Michael.



Henry: Roadblock.

Florence: I'll do it. It sounds easy enough.



Jeffrey: Finally, we're here. Gosh. That bad taxi driver really screwed us up.

Ryan: Come on, Jeff. Less talk more walk.

Jeffrey: Roadblock. Ryan, you do it.

Ryan: Alright.



---



Ashley: Hmm. I only have 9 fishes' pictures. There's no whale here!



Thomas: Something's not quite right… This place can't possibly be keeping a live whale.



Jenn: What could this be?



Ashley: RIGHT. The skeleton thing I passed earlier on.

-Ashley completed her task-



Jessica: Oh my gosh. GREAT JOB, Girl!

Ashley: Come on. Let's go already.

Jessica: Make your way on foot to the Prince's Palace of Monaco.



Phil: Teams must now make their way on foot to the relatively nearby Prince's Palace of Monaco. Once there, teams will have to search for a statue of Francois Grimaldi outside the palace. However, teams are only told to look for a monk and they have to figure out for themselves that it is a statue they are looking for.

Ashley: Come on. Let's run, Jessica.



Thomas: Hmm. could it be the skeleton??

-Thomas completes the task-



Zoey: That was incredible, Dad. You did awesome.

-hugs-

Thomas: C'mon. We gotta run to somewhere again.

Zoey: This is one tiring leg!



Nicole: Oh no. Why is Jenn taking so long.



Jenn: Man.. What IS it??? Argh.



Jason: What could this whale thing be??



Jenn: Oh my god. I feel so stupid! It's the skeletal structure of a whale.



-Jenn completes the task-



Nicole: Phew. I was worried for a second there.

Jenn: The thing's so tricky. Glad I didn't take longer than I did.



Michael: I think I know what it is…

-Michael completes the task-



Jason who followed Michael also thus completed the task without figuring it out. Then Jason ran out and got the clue first, before Michael.



Jason: Ha. That's how you do a task.

Nicholas: Let me guess… You did something immoral again?

Jason: Let's just start running to the palace, dude.



Michael: Tiffany. Let's hustle. Gotta get to the palace.

Tiffany: Good job on the Roadblock, Michael.

Michael: Thanks Tiff.



Lauren (whispering to herself): Come on, gran… One team has already overtaken us…

Dorothy: There isn't any whale here! What am I supposed to take a photo of?



-after some contemplation, Dorothy finally figured out the task and got the next clue-



Dorothy: Tricking an old lady like that…Sheesh.

Lauren: Come on gran. We have to run again. We can't be eliminated today. We just can't!!



Florence: Aha. I think I know what it is.

-Florence completes the task, quickly-



Henry: That was fast. Good job, Florence.

Florence: It was nothing. Pretty simple actually.



Jeffrey: Come on, Ryan… Hurry!!

Ryan: Where's the stupid whale I'm supposed to find?



*about 10 minutes walking around aimlessly, Ryan finally figures it out and completes the task*



Jeffrey: Come on. We're the last team already!

Ryan: Alright. We really gotta start running.



---



Jessica: Alright. Now we're looking for a monk…

Ashley: This leg's been pretty tricky so far. I doubt we're really looking for a human.

Jessica: Then it's probably a statue.

Ashley: There… I see one!

Jessica: There's no clue box though.

Ashley: Look down there. Below the statue. There are some words inscribed on it.

Jessica: "Fly to the c-h-c-z-e u-p-r-e-b-i-l-c and look for the Žižkov Television Tower for your next clue."

Ashley: Is that like an anagram or something?

Jessica: I think so. We have to descramble it. Think in the context of European countries.

Ashley & Jessica together: the CZECH REPUBLIC!



Phil: Teams must now fly to the Czech Republic. They are to choose their own flights.



Jessica: Oh god, when is this leg gonna end if we're gonna fly again!

Ashley: Only god and the producers know.



Zoey: Dad… The girls are catching up to us.

Thomas: I can't run as fast as them, Zo.



Jenn: Come on, we can overtake Thomas & Zoey.

Nicole: What are we even looking for?

Jenn: Some monk guy.

Nicole: But there's no one here.



Thomas: Zo. We might be looking for a statue.

Zoey: Like that one?

Thomas: Let's check it out.

Zoey: Yup. It is… Hmm. I think we're supposed to fly to the Czech Republic.

Thomas: Come on. Let's go now. Don't let the girls see us here.



Jenn: Hmm. Thomas & Zoey seem to have gone…

Nicole: Did they find the monk already?

Jenn: Could it be this statue of a monk?

Nicole: Hmm. There's no clue box.

Jenn: But there's the clue!

Nicole: Oh. We're flying to the Czech Republic.



**Subsequently, the next few teams arrived in the following order: Jason & Nicholas, Michael & Tiffany and Dorothy & Lauren. Michael & Tiffany figured it out instantly and overtook Jason & Nicholas who had trouble with it. Dorothy & Lauren remained in 7th position. **



Henry: I have no idea what we are looking for…

Florence: I don't see any monks here.

Henry: We're obviously missing something.

-they walk past the statue and ignore it-

Jeffrey: We're still in the game! Look… Henry & Florence!
Ryan: I doubt we're looking for a real monk though. If we were, they would've found him by now.
Jeffrey: Maybe it's that statue they just passed.
Ryan: It is! Great job, Jeffrey. Now's our chance to surge ahead of them.

Florence: Man. I'm so exhausted. Where is the monk?!
Henry: Come on, Flo! Don't give up.

Jeffrey to Ryan: Should we tell them?
Ryan: Well, alright… They'd help us if we were them.
Jeffrey to Florence: You guys are looking for a statue! You passed it a couple of times.
Florence: Thanks you guys!
Florence (conf): Jeffrey & Ryan are really nice people to have told us what we were looking for. It is, after all, a competition and they are not obliged to help us in any way.



---

-At the Monaco airport, teams start to scramble around the airport looking for best possible flights into the Czech Republic.-

Jessica: Mam. Can you put us on the earliest flight to Czech Republic?
Ticket Counter: The earliest you can get on is the 7.40pm flight on Czech Air.
Ashley: And you're sure that's the earliest possible?
Ticket Counter: Very sure.
Ashley: Alright. Book us on that flight please. Thank you very much.

**Thomas & Zoey, Jenn & Nicole, Michael & Tiffany all subsequently get onto the same 7.40pm flight to Czech Republic**

Jason: Is it possible for us to get on the 7.40pm flight PLEASE?
Ticket Counter: It is going to be very difficult. You only have 15 minutes to check in and board.
Nicholas: Please, miss. This is a matter of life and death.

-Dorothy & Lauren arrive about a minute after them and are behind the queue-

Jason: Please put us on the flight. We'll make it. If we don't, we're out of our competition.
Nicholas: One million dollars at stake here. Please try your best to get us on.
Ticket Counter: Okay. Here are your tickets. I suggest you run as fast as possible or you will miss the plane.
Jason: THANK YOU SO MUCH. And if you can, please DO NOT let the team behind us get on the flight. It is very important. Can you do this for me please?
Ticket Counter: Alright.

Dorothy: Could you please sign us up for the same flight as the 2 boys in front of us?
Ticket Counter: I'm really sorry but I really can't. You will definitely not make it in time.
Lauren: Please, this is important.
Ticket Counter: I'm sorry but it's really out of the question. And besides, the 2 guys ahead of you told me not to issue you the tickets.
Lauren (conf): When I heard what Jason & Nicholas had said, I was thoroughly outraged. How could they do such a despicable thing? We didn't even offend them or anything.
Dorothy (conf): Nobody messes with us and gets away with it. I may be old… But that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a pushover.
Dorothy: Oh well. Then what is the next possible flight?
Ticket Counter: The next flight is only at 11.20pm.
Lauren: WHAT? That's 3 ½ hours difference!
Ticket Counter: This is the only flight out tonight.
Lauren: We'll take it then.



**Henry & Florence and Jeffrey & Ryan end up also getting the same 11.20pm flight**

Phil: Teams are now on 2 separate flights from Monaco to Prague, Czech Republic. The first flight carries Ashley, Thomas & Zoey, Jenn & Kelly, Michael & Tiffany and Jason & Nicholas.

Teams on the second flight, arriving more than 3 hours later than the first, carries Dorothy & Lauren, Jeffrey & Ryan and Henry & Florence.

Once teams land in the Czech Republic, they have to drive themselves to the Žižkov Television Tower. Once there, they will find their next clue at the base of the 216 meters structure.

Dorothy: This is it. One of the 3 of us is going home this leg.
Lauren: We're not going home like this. We still have unfinished business.

Jeffrey: We've been in worst situations. And we have overcame each and everyone of them.
Ryan: We will survive.

Henry: We're not going home after we just clinched a first place the previous leg.
Florence: This is not the end of us!



---
-The teams on the first flight arrive in Prague, Czech Republic and rush to get their cars from the airport-

Zoey: Dad. You know where you're going?
Thomas: Yeah.

Jason: Time to leech of these weak teams again.
Nicholas: -sighs-

Zoey: The bros are following us again…
Thomas (conf): Jason & Nicholas are definitely too dependent on other teams. It will just be a matter of time before they get eliminated due to too much dependence on other teams.

Nicole: Jenn. You know the way?
Jenn: Yeah. You drive. I'll navigate.

Jessica: Let's just follow the girlfriends, Ashley.
Ashley: Alright. Hope they don't mind.

Michael: Last ones out of the airport…
Tiffany: This shows the importance of getting the front seats.
Michael: Next time we'll ask…



**Thomas & Zoey are in the lead, followed close behind by Jason & Nicholas. A couple of minutes behind is Jenn & Nicole, closely followed by Jessica & Ashley. Michael & Tiffany are the last of the group**

Thomas: Been expecting this…
Zoey: Detour! Ascend or Descend.

Phil: In this Detour, teams have to choose to either Ascend or Descend the Television Tower.

In Ascend, teams will have to climb up 100-meters of stairs up to an Observation Deck where they will have to use binoculars to look for a marked building which they have to search for their next clue. Teams have to walk down via the staircase again.

In Descend, teams have to take an elevator to the top of the tower, at the height of 216 meters. Once there, they will have to bungee jump down all the way to the bottom of the tower to obtain their next clue.

Evidently, Descend is a faster but more frightening task. Teams choosing Ascend must also have a good eye to be able to spot the marked building.

Thomas: I really can't do the bungee, Zoey.
Zoey: Dad…!
Thomas: Please, Zoey.
Zoey: Well, alright. Let's do the Ascend as quickly as possible then.

Jason: Detour.
Nicholas: The choice's obvious isn't it?
Jason: Descend, duh! Let's go!
Nicholas (conf): This high-risk stuff is our specialty.

Nicole: Descend! It's gonna be awesome.
Jenn: But I'm afraid of heights, Nicole!
Nicole: Come on. Do it for me.
Jenn: Well, alright. Just for you. Just because you're so cute.
Nicole: Aww. You flatter me.

Ashley: I'm NOT gonna bungee off this insanely tall building.
Ashley (conf): Since I was a kid, I had a severe case of phobia of heights.
Jessica: Alright alright. I'm sure we'll do okay at the ascending one.

Michael: Detour…
Tiffany: We definitely have to descend if we plan on making up some time.
Michael: But you're scared of heights.
Tiffany: Let's pretend that doesn't exist for now. Let's go!
Michael: That's my wife!

-Scene shows Melissa & Sean driving themselves in Prague and proceeding to the pit-stop-

Sean: This must be it!
Melissa: We're coming, Phil.
Sean: That sounds so cliché.

Pit-stop greeter: Welcome to the Czech Republic.

Melissa & Sean: Thanks!

Phil: Melissa & Sean…

Sean: Ya, Phil?

Phil: You are team number ONE.

Melissa: Ahh!
Sean: It's about time!

Phil: Now I have some more good news for you. As the winners of this leg of the race, you have won a trip for two to Australia where all expenses will be paid for you guys.

Sean: That's awesome.
Melissa: Thanks, Phil.
Sean (conf): This is definitely a morale booster for my mom & me.
Melissa (conf): It's a whole new game right now.

Nicholas: Yeah. That was exhilarating.
Jason: Wicked sick! Nick.. Where's the clue?
Nicholas: Right here, bro.
Jason: Drive yourselves to the next pit-stop!

Phil: Teams will now have to drive themselves a rather long distance to the town of Beroun and have to then find the Lookout on The Děd Hill. This lookout is the pit-stop for this leg of the race. The last team to check in… MAY be eliminated.

Jason: Come on. It's crunch time. Let's go!
Nicholas: You don't have to shout into my ear, bro. I'm right next to you.

Nicole: That was the coolest thing I've done!
Jenn: That was the scariest thing I've done! I almost crapped my pants.

Nicole: Well, you didn't right? So yay!
Jenn: Please… let it be the pit-stop.

-rips clue open-

Nicole: YES. Come on. Get our car.

Zoey: Dad… Where is that marked building?
Thomas: I think I see it…
Zoey: Good job, Dad…
Thomas: Oh no. Looks like the girlfriends are already done.

Zoey: It's alright. We just have to move fast now and hopefully we're not more than 5th position this leg around.

Tiffany: Wow. That was mind blowing.
Michael: Pretty scary stuff, huh?
Tiffany: Not as scary as being eliminated today! C'mon. We gotta get to the pit-stop, pronto!

Ashley: Well, I think we lost a placing or two due to the Detour.
Jessica: Come on. We can still make up time if we hurry.
Ashley: Alrighty then.

---
**The second flight lands and the last 3 teams scramble to avoid elimination**

Dorothy: COME ON, Lauren!
Lauren: I've got the map. Follow the road and we'll be fine!

Jeffrey: Come on Ryan. We can't afford any mistakes at this point.
Ryan: I know I know. You know where you're going.
Jeffrey: Yeah.

Florence: Go honey. Drive like you've never driven before!
Henry: Alright.
---

Jenn: It's the brothers. You wanna overtake em?
Nicole: Duh. What are you waiting for??
Nicholas: Dude. Don't let them pass you!

-Jenn & Nicole passes them-

Nicholas: Always talking big, Jason… But you can't do anything right.
Jason: Look who's talking.
Nicholas: Nevermind. We just have to run really fast when we get there.
Jason: You mean now?
Nicholas: Yes, RUN.

Nicole: Jenn… Come on. Run!
Jenn: Argh. I'm coming.

Pit-stop Greeter: Welcome to the Czech Republic.

Dorothy: It's either we descend or we might be going home today.
Lauren: You sure you're up for it?
Dorothy: Yeah. Anything for you, Lauren.
Lauren: Thanks, gran. Come on. Let's hurry up and find the elevator.

Florence: OH SHOOT.
Henry: What a good time to have a flat tire!
Florence: CUT THE SACARSM HENRY! GEEZ. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. THIS IS THE CRITICAL MOMENT.
Henry: I just have to change it, Flo. Cool down.
Florence: COOL DOWN? How to? OH MY GOD. Jeffrey & Ryan just passed us.
Henry: Alright, alright. I'm done already.
Florence: Henry. Step on it. I don't wanna go home yet!!

Ryan: Luck's on our side for now, I guess.
Jeffrey: Detour, Ryan.
Ryan: No way I'm doing the bungee.
Jeffrey: Why not?!
Ryan: I'm terrified that's why! And think about it… Would Henry & Florence do the Descend? I don't think so. They'd be too scared too. Let's do the Ascend and stop wasting time!

Henry: Detour.
Florence: Ascend or Descend?
Henry: We HAVE to Descend, Florence.
Florence: Oh my god. Are you serious?
Henry: It's either that or we go home for sure.
Florence: Alright fine.
Florence (conf): Nothing scares me more than being eliminated. Not even jumping off a 216 meters building.

Thomas: Oh my god. There's Phil.

Phil: Thomas & Zoey?

Zoey: Come on, Phil. Give us some good news!

Phil: You guys are team number FOUR.

Michael: Let's just do our best and run.


**a footrace ensues between Michael & Tiffany and Jessica & Ashley**

Phil: Jessica & Ashley… You are team number FIVE.

Jessica: Thanks Phil.

Phil: Michael & Tiffany… You are team number SIX.

Michael: Ugh.

Dorothy: Oh my god. I can't believe I just jumped down the building.
Lauren: Gosh. I'm so PROUD of you, granny!
Dorothy: Granny power!
Lauren: Come on. After what you've manage to accomplish, we can't go home today.

Henry: That was so fun.
Florence: Yeah for you. I was shivering the whole way. And we aren't even sure where Jeffrey & Ryan are right now.
Henry: Let's hope they're behind us.
Florence: I'd doubt that…
Henry: Come on. We gotta rush. It's off to the pit-stop.



Ryan: Come on, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey: We need to go now. Henry & Florence can't be that far behind us!

Lauren: Park here, Gran.
Dorothy: Let's run to Phil, dear.

Phil: Dorothy & Lauren… you are team number SEVEN.

Dorothy: Not too bad.
Lauren: Not too bad at all.
Dorothy: Thanks, Phil.

Phil: You guys are really hanging on really well in the race.

Lauren: We're just trying to survive leg by leg. And it's working so far!

Florence: Oh my god, Henry. I can't believe it. YOU WENT THE WRONG WAY.
Henry: Sorry, Flo. I missed the exit.

Ryan: Are we there yet?
Jeffrey: Just a couple more minutes according to the map.

Florence: We're so dead.

Jeffrey: There. This must be it.

Henry: Come on. Let's give it one last final run.

Ryan: Come on Jeffrey. Let's start running.

Pit-stop Greeter: Welcome to the Czech Republic.

=dramatic pause=



Phil: Henry & Florence… You are team number EIGHT.

Henry: PHEW.
Florence: OH MY GOD. -sobs-
Florence: We thought we were out for sure!
Henry: What a relief.
Florence: Indeed.
Florence (conf): Next leg, we're definitely gonna be working harder to get out of the back of the pack after this harrowing experience.

-sad music cues-


Phil: Jeffrey & Ryan…

Ryan: Aahh..
Jeffrey: Oh no. Please don't say we're last.

Phil: You are indeed, the LAST team to arrive.

Jeffrey: What..?
Ryan: Oh my god.

Phil: I'm sorry to tell you… that you have been eliminated from the race.

Jeffrey: Aw shucks.
Ryan: Damn. We didn't think we were gonna be out this leg.

Phil: Anything can happen in this race you guys.

Jeffrey: Oh well. We came here with nothing and we're going back with lots of fond memories.
Ryan: It's been a real blast.
Jeffrey (conf): Being on The Amazing Race has truly opened my eyes and allowed me to realize how big the world is and how many different cultures there are.
Ryan (conf): It's certainly been a fun and enjoyable trip and especially so when I got to do it with my best friend.
