EPISODE ONE – Los Angeles, California to Praia, Cape Verde
http://www.seeing-stars.com/Images/Slides/Observatory.JPG
Phil: I'm standing near the Griffith Park Observatory, the starting line for the Virtual Amazing Race. From this park, 11 teams will race around the world for $1 million. Speedboats are racing the teams toward the starting line. The eleven teams are:
Juni & Kim, moved from Korea two years ago for a better life and are now dating
Mara & Charlene, Openly-lesbian, hoping to find the secret to a lasting relationship
Morgan & Baxter, Professional surfers and lifelong friends from Long Beach, CA
Brenton & Delta, a black orphan boy and Latin orphan girl who became siblings from TX
Vivienne & Marien, twin sisters born in the south of France who reside now in NY
Cal & Rodney, middle aged gay men who were shunned by their families residing in OH
Troy & Larraine, married Obama supporters with three children from Kentucky
Nigella & Nico, mother and her fitness freak son from Colorado, with a “rocky” relationship
Ozzy & Amanda, met on Survivor now with a budding relationship still strengthening daily
Sydney & Ingrid, married with grandchildren. They are fierce competitors from Louisiana
Stacey & Derek, met at a modelling set 3 yrs ago and have been dating ever since from CA
Phil: Who will come up with the right combination of brains, brawn and teamwork to win the $1 million?
Teams assembled on the green situated just outside the Observatory to receive the rules from Phil.
Phil: In just a few minutes, you'll be leaving on a race around the world, separated into legs. There will be various tasks to be completed throughout them. At the end of each leg, there is a pit-stop. Eight of these pit-stops are elimination points. If you're last, you'll be eliminated. There is cash to cover all expenses except airline tickets which you won’t need to pay for. Your first clue is waiting inside the envelope on top the luggage you have brought with you. When I give you the word, you can run over to your bags, read the clue and run to the marked cars in the parking lot. The first team to cross the finish line at the end of 11 legs wins $1 million. Now is everybody ready…
All: Yeah! Yeah!
Phil: The world is waiting for you.
Phil: Good luck, Travel safe.
Phil: GO!!!!!!!!!!
Ozzy and Amanda reach their clue first with Morgan and Baxter and Juni and Kim just behind them.
Ozzy: Fly to Praia, Cape Verde
Morgan: Once there find…

Charlene: Oh my god, what are we doing Mara, (she kisses her)
The teams depart with Vivienne and Marien bringing up the rear.

Ozzy: I’ll step up the speed
<CONFESSIONAL>
Amanda: Ozzy is extremely competitive, I am certainly
a competitive being but not to his extreme

Extremely important to never be passed by another team

to an average African American family
Brenton: all of her parents died from a disease and her family,
she was the only to survive
Delta: Brenton’s father died and his mother having 4 kids couldn’t
care for them all and so to put it nicely she got rid of Brent
Brenton: we next met at an Orphanage, and one day when a
Middle aged white family who were wealthy came picked Delta and
