The Amazing Race Part 5 (NB Game)

Based on the real show The [name_m]Amazing[/name_m] [name_m]Race[/name_m], teams of two will travel around the world to try and win 1,000,000! In the show, the teams get clues and do tasks in various countries, trying not to be the last team to arrive. In the majority of these legs (parts of the [name_m]Race[/name_m]), there will be an elimination for the last team to arrive, unless spared by a Non-Elimination Leg.

[name_f]Remember[/name_f] to do Part 1 or the game would not make sense. Stay in the same continent for this leg but again, new country. For this leg; the first six teams are on an early flight that leaves an hour early while the last two teams to finish get a later flight.


SPEED BUMP (Task for just the team who finished last in the previous leg): The team must recite a 4-digit code then walk to a table of cases and input the code until they unlock the case that leads to the next clue.


DETOUR (where teams must do one of two tasks): Teams must feed and clean an animal native to the country or play an instrument common in the country to collect tips. You may choose which teams complete which Detour.

[name_m]Roll[/name_m] D6 twice for extras to add in.

1: A team (you choose) admittedly isn’t the best with this Detour task but laugh it off and enjoy themselves.
2: A team (you choose) comes into the task earlier than another team (you choose) but finishes later, worrying the former.
3: A team (you choose) is maintaining a positive attitude and great teamwork.
4: A team (you choose) thinks about home.
5: A team (you choose) chose the task they felt they’d accomplish quicker but admits the other task looked really fun.
6: A team (you choose) convinces a team (you choose) to work together for the task.


ROADBLOCK (where only one member on the team does the task): One team member must do a traditional dance in sync with two native dancers. You choose everyone who does this Roadblock.

[name_m]Roll[/name_m] D6 once for extras to add in. You may choose which team this is for.

1: The team member not performing the Roadblock is getting a bad feeling they should have done the task instead.
2: The team member doing the Roadblock gets into an argument with another team member doing the Roadblock (you choose), but both truce in the end.
3: The team member doing the Roadblock suffers an ankle injury but completes the Roadblock, though worrying how this will affect their game moving forward.
4: The team member not doing the Roadblock feels this would be a fun task but is glad not to do it because staying in sync is hard.
5: The team member not doing the Roadblock is a little saddened by how long it’s taking but doesn’t blame partner for this.
6: The team member doing the Roadblock is having a great time and putting some energy into it.

SPEED BUMP (Task for just the team who finished last in the previous leg): The Ballet Sisters (Selena & Jocelynn) must recite a 4-digit code then walk to a table of cases and input the code until they unlock the case that leads to the next clue.

[name_m]Even[/name_m] though The Biker Bros [name_m]Marc[/name_m] & [name_m]Ty[/name_m] struggle with playing the Dombra, they laugh it off and try to enjoy themselves

The Kindergarten Teachers (Hailee)

The [name_m]History[/name_m] Buffs (Evelyn)
The Ballet Sisters (Jocelynn)

[name_m]Marc[/name_m] of The Biker Bros is not doing the Roadblock and is a little saddened by how long it’s taking, but doesn’t blame [name_m]Ty[/name_m] for this as he knows that dancing isn’t really his thing.

Part 5 takes place in Iqaluit, [name_f]Canada[/name_f].

[name_m]Mateo[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], [name_m]Evan[/name_m], and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] all took the early flight while [name_f]Naomi[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Stacy[/name_f], and [name_m]Mark[/name_m] had to fly out an hour later.

Speed Bump:
[name_f]Stacy[/name_f] and [name_m]Mark[/name_m] had to recite a 4-digit code and input the code to unlock a case leading to the next clue.

Detour:
Each team must choose to either feed and clean an Arctic fox, or play an unusual Inuit instrument and collect tips.

The fox challenge was chosen by:
[name_m]Mateo[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] and [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Stacy[/name_f] and [name_m]Mark[/name_m]

The instrument challenge was chosen by:
[name_m]Evan[/name_m] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]

[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] chose the fox challenge because they thought it’d be faster but thought playing the instrument looked really fun.
[name_m]Evan[/name_m] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f], who hate the cold, thought about home and how much they missed nice weather.

Roadblock:
Each team had to have one member do a traditional dance in sync with two native dancers. The players who participated in the roadblock were:

[name_m]Mateo[/name_m]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_m]Mark[/name_m]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] injures his ankle at the end of the roadblock and is not sure how this will affect his game going forward.
[name_f]Julia[/name_f] has a great time performing her dance and puts a lot of energy into it.

Pit Stop:
The places for the [name_f]Canada[/name_f] challanges were:
1st Place: [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Julia[/name_f]
2nd Place: [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m]

7th Place: [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] were eliminated.

SPEED BUMP:[name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Ross[/name_m] and [name_m]David[/name_m] (The [name_f]Air[/name_f] Force Pilots) have to recite a 4-digit code, then walk to a table of cases and input the code until they unlock the case that leads to their next clue.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]

DETOUR:[name_f][/name_f] Teams must go to a Pomeranian rescue, where they are each assigned a Pomeranian to feed, bathe, play with, and take pictures of for the rescue’s website OR they must play the Hurdy-Gurdy by Cloth [name_m]Hall[/name_m] to collect tips. I know they probably shouldn’t all choose the Pomeranians, but c’mon, they’re puppies!
[name_f][/name_f]– [name_m]The[/name_m] [name_f]Pageant[/name_f] Queens – Pomeranians
[name_f][/name_f]– [name_m]The[/name_m] Puzzle People – Pomeranians
[name_f][/name_f]– [name_m]The[/name_m] Nurses – Pomeranians
[name_f][/name_f]– [name_m]The[/name_m] Foodies – Pomeranians
[name_f][/name_f]– [name_m]The[/name_m] Grandmas – Pomeranians

[name_f][/name_f]– [name_m]The[/name_m] [name_f]Air[/name_f] Force [name_m]Pilots[/name_m] – Pomeranians

[name_f][/name_f]

Literally everyone[name_f][/name_f] has so much fun with the puppies! Whilst [name_m]Robert[/name_m] and [name_f]Brenda[/name_f] admitted the Hurdy-Gurdy looked fun, the idea of playing with and getting to love on little Pomeranians was too tempting. All of them get very attached to their puppy, with a lot of them wanting to go back and adopt their assigned puppy.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]

ROADBLOCK:[name_f][/name_f] One team member must do a Polonaise in sync with two native dancers. Who does it:
[name_f][/name_f]– [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] (The [name_f]Pageant[/name_f] Queens)
[name_f][/name_f]– [name_m]Preston[/name_m] (The Puzzle People)

[name_f][/name_f]

During the Roadblock, [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] suffers an ankle injury, but still completes the Roadblock – with a lot of worry now into how this will affect their game going forward. Meanwhile, [name_f]Sana[/name_f] has a great time and puts a lot of energy into it.

Teams travel from [name_m]Thailand[/name_m] to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia!
[name_m]The[/name_m] Influencers, [name_m]The[/name_m] Vets, Team Mum, [name_m]The[/name_m] Horse Girls, and Team [name_m]Foster[/name_m] are on the first flight, and Team [name_m]Texas[/name_m] and [name_m]The[/name_m] Librarians are on the later flight.

[name_m]The[/name_m] Librarians complete their [name_m]Speed[/name_m] Bump, and joins the others at the Detour.

Detour: Feed and clean [name_m]Takhi[/name_m] horses or play a Tsuur, a type of flute, for tips.

[name_m]Takhi[/name_m]:
[name_m]The[/name_m] Influencers - they arrive at the Detour before Team [name_m]Texas[/name_m], but finish after them, causing them some concern
[name_m]The[/name_m] Vets
[name_m]The[/name_m] Horse Girls
Team [name_m]Texas[/name_m]

Tsuur:
Team Mum
Team [name_m]Foster[/name_m] - they’re not great at this, but they laugh it off and enjoy each others’ company

Roadblock: Dancing the Mongol Biyelgee with native dancers
[name_m]The[/name_m] Influencers: [name_f]Ashlie[/name_f]
[name_m]The[/name_m] Vets: [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] (Tatum is watching her and wishes she could be in her place, she’s worried [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] is going to struggle.)
[name_m]The[/name_m] Horse Girls: [name_m]Ashton[/name_m]
Team [name_m]Texas[/name_m]: [name_m]Joe[/name_m]
Team Mum: [name_f]Caryn[/name_f]
Team [name_m]Foster[/name_m]: [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f]
[name_m]The[/name_m] Librarians: [name_f]Marianne[/name_f]

Pit Stop:

  1. Team [name_m]Texas[/name_m] - [name_m]Joe[/name_m] & [name_f]Kimmie[/name_f] (married couple) - they each win a personal technology suite!!
  2. [name_m]The[/name_m] Librarians - [name_m]Adam[/name_m] & [name_f]Marianne[/name_f]
  3. [name_m]The[/name_m] Vets - [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] & [name_m]Tatum[/name_m] (navy veterans)

  5. Team [name_m]Foster[/name_m] - [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] & [name_m]Mason[/name_m] (mom & foster-adopted son)
  6. [name_m]The[/name_m] Horse Girls - [name_m]Ashton[/name_m] & [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] (dressage teammates)

Due to some pit stop confusion, [name_m]The[/name_m] Influencers, [name_f]Ashlie[/name_f] & [name_m]Ray[/name_m], go from first to worst, and are eliminated.

Detour: Tend or Tune

[name_m]Ethan[/name_m] & [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]

  • [name_f]Lena[/name_f] & [name_f]Tasha[/name_f] arrive early at Tune

  • They feel good, controlled, ahead

Meanwhile… [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] & [name_f]Bri[/name_f] show up shortly after, already loud and energized.

  • [name_f]Lena[/name_f] & [name_f]Tasha[/name_f] struggle to get momentum

  • [name_m]Not[/name_m] bad… just not earning tips fast enough

Meanwhile:

  • [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] & [name_f]Bri[/name_f] start pulling in tips quickly

  • Crowd responds to energy over precision

And then…

They pass them.

[name_f]Kayla[/name_f] & [name_f]Bri[/name_f] celebrate hitting their tip goal.

They grab their clue.

Run off.

[name_f]She[/name_f] sees it.

[name_m]You[/name_m] can literally watch the calculation happening in her head.

“They got here after us.”

  1. “We had the advantage.”
  2. “We’re losing time.”
  3. “Why didn’t we just go faster?”

Still trying to keep things up:

“We’re fine, just keep going.”

[name_f]Mari[/name_f]:

“We’re not the fastest team… but we work really well together.”

[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] (smiling, rare but genuine):

“And honestly, that’s getting us further than I expected.”

Roadblock: One team member must learn a traditional [name_m]Moroccan[/name_m] dance sequence and perform it in sync with 2 other dancers

[name_f]Sofia[/name_f] (focused, annoyed):

“You’re stepping into my side.”

[name_m]Andre[/name_m] (confident, not backing down):

“No, I’m not. You’re drifting.”

  • Both reset again after a failed attempt

  • Tension builds

[name_f]Sofia[/name_f]:

“I need you to stay in your lane.”

[name_m]Andre[/name_m]:

“I am in my lane.”

Neither of them wrong… neither of them letting it go.

[name_m]Andre[/name_m] exhales:

“Alright… I’ll tighten it up.”

[name_f]Sofia[/name_f] nods:

“I’ll give you more space.”
