puddin:
( Thanks to SLD for the fast fingers ..)

Sarah, reading CLUE: YOU MAY NOT BEG OR SELL ANYTHING.

Sarah conf: We have forty American dollars (and the other teams don't, neener neener ...)

First to the travel agent.
Equalizer, they open at 9:00.
Tyler/James arrive there, too.

Dustin//Kandice 8:11 am
Rob/Kimberley 8:13 am

Dustin boo-hooing through a confessional about how tough it is to be a pageant girl. Boo-****in, hoo!

David/Mary 8:16 am.
Mary cries reading the clue.
David conf: My Dad was in Vietnam. He told me stories about it. One of the worst wars ever.
Mary, yelling: EVERYONE is passing you! I'm gonna get angry! I won't lose this race 'cause o you ...
David: You cain't look at my speed-o-meter, okay?

The early arrivers want to form a line at the ticket agent's booth. Several teams there already.

Erwin/Godwin get the clue, missed the time ...
Dustin/Kandice notice there are four ticket agents.
The "gay couple" walk past them.
Tom: Ter, they cut the line!
Dustin: You walked past us!

Argument ensues.

Tom: I thought we could trust you.
Tom to Terry: They are not gonna win a beauty pageant for kindness!

Lyn/Karlyn 9:02, "It's not just the million dollars." Team Whatevia compares the Race to childbirth. 

They arrive at the ticket counter about the same time as Mary gets her ticket.
Everyone is on the SAME FLIGHT!

EQUALIZER!

Mary gets her ankle wrapped by her hubbie.
Conf: I didn't leave my kids for nothing. I gotta do it!

Flight takes off.

puddin:
Hanoi, 10:58 pm.
Teams deplane and search for taxis.

Tyler/James try to talk with hand signals.
Peter runs leaving Sarah in the dust.
Sarah: I. Can't. Run. As. Fast! 

Duke/Lauren trust some locals to get them a "special" ride.
Lauren thinks it's a bad idea not to take a cab.
Duke: She knows the language.
Lauren: We don't have time for this.

Lyn/Karlyn "tried to pair up with Kentucky."
Conf: They try to help people. It's what most southern folks do.

<3

Overturned 18-wheeler! WHOA!
Cabs slowly pass the accident.
Rob/Kimberly take over 1st while Dustin/Kandice stand there and gawk. Blondies sink from 1st to 3rd. Bwahaha!

Woman in cab with Duke/Lauren: He take you. My brother. Drop me off.
Duke: How long will that take me (extra)?
Woman: 30 minutes.
Lauren, pissed: Now. We're. In. Last.
Duke: Not yet.
Lauren: We'll be eliminated.

COMMERCIAL.

puddin:
Duke: How far are we going?
Woman: 30 minutes.
Duke hands her $11. "This is good, right?"
Woman: No. Twenty. Don't you understand?
Duke: We don't have enough money. Maybe not pay ...
Lauren: When we're arrested when we can't pay him!

Prison closed until morning.
Tom/Terry decide to sleep out in front of the Hanoi Hilton.

Duke: $11. That's all I have. No other money to my name.
Cabbie shakes his hand and they depart.
Duke: A godsend!

MORNING.
The prison opens.

CLUE: Hundreds of Americans were held captive here.
Phil: Including Sen. John McCain. Teams must search to find his flightsuit for the next clue.
David: I am honored to be here for my Dad.

Mary goes to a door; locked.
Teams search through rows and hallways.
Body parts! Yucko! A dungeon of plastic and wax figures!

There it is. The lfight suit, first to find it Tom/Terry.
They get the clue and turn around, as other teams get their clues in rapid sequence.
Practically all teams get their clues in a matter of 2 minutes.

Erwin/Godwin take "a moment of silence" for servicemen around the world.
Conf: It's a significant place that we wanted to honor properly, even though it'd put us in last.

CLUE: Find the Old Quarter.
Phil: At this particular intersection, a marked flower shop for the next clue.

Teams get back in taxis.
Some teams ask directions, as if to walk.
Local: Too far to walk!
Broke-ass Duke and Lauren, however, walk.

Teams drive wildly through city streets clogged with bikes, motorcycles driving every which-way.

Tom/Terry, CLUE: ROADBLOCK.
Phil: Figure out how to charm people and turn a profit. Choose bike with a basket of flowers, sell flowers to make 80,000 Vietnamese Dong, which teams may keep.

Tom: Flowers!?
Teams have extreme difficulty dragging the basket along with the bike. The basket makes the bike wiggle.

Tom: Please??
One team loses their flowers as they turn the bike. (Rob)

Mary: I can't ride. My foot.
David puts down his backpack.

Peter is popular, cha-ching! Cha-ching!!
Walking, Duke/Lauren arrive, not far behind the group.
CLUE: Travel by bus to the village of Vac.
Phil: Search for Buddhist temple for the next clue.

Rob needs 2000 more Dong.
Erwin/Godwin yell to each other about how and where to sell flowers, and lament (conf: women sell more flowers) that other teams had greater success.

Tom is pissing everyoen off.
Duke/Lauren finally begin.
Rob thinks he has 80,000.
Dustin/Kandice done. 3rd
Rob/Kimberly done. 2nd
Tyler/James done. 4th
Teams search for the bus station, then have to decide WHICH bus to take of the hundreds of buses.
Sarah: I'm hoping THIS is the right one.
They leave on some bus going somewhere.

Tom/Terry finish in 6th.
Locals give directions. Some of our friends are told to take bus 69. Some are taking bus 22.
Lauren conf: Dad did a great job! Ladies jumping to buy Dad's flowers! It was just chaotic.
Duke/Lauren finish in last, get CLUE, head for the bus to Vac.

Tom/Terry are riding a bus "with no other teams."

Tyler/James and Dustin/Kandice have teamed up.
Lyn/Karlyn follow the growing group of teams heading for the bus station.
Teams have to cross a busy street.
Tyler: It's like Frogger, dude!

The side of the bus has a sign that says, "Vac 5,000"
Most of our teams are on that bus.
Several other teams still haven't gotten on yet.
Peter/Sarah, still looking for a bus.
Standing on the street, bus passes Peter/Sarah.
Sarah: There they go. Crap. We're out of it.

COMMERCIAL.

puddin:
detour

[attachment deleted by admin]

puddin:
Peter: Sarah! We messed up! Oh, God!

David/Mary on bus.
D, conf: My Dad's only told stories about Vietnam as people shooting, fighting. To see a rice paddy and think what he went through. (Fighting tears.)

Phil: For safety reasons teams are strictly forbidden to take or ride motorcycles in Vietnam.

Sarah, on bus: We'll see if we can make up the time.

CLUE box, surrounded by regailed dancers.
Erwin/Godwin, DETOUR.
Fuel, or Foul?
Fuel, travel on foot to work station, take wet coal, press to 30 coal bricks. Correctly make all 30 for the clue.
Foul, travel on foot to courtyard, using local methods and materials, build a bird cage.

Erwin/Godwin bust coal to make bricks.
Locals delight in seeing them work.

After making 30 in the hot sun, Erwin's bricks suck. He has to start over.

Dragging a foot, Mary to David: I think I hurt my ankle bad!

Tom/Terry start brickmaking.

Teams who were on the bus together arrive in rapid sequence.
Mary, in the town square: It's like one of those things you see on TV, Dave!
Most teams are doing fuel.
Of Tom's bricks, only 1 is good.
Erwin/Godwin's 2nd batch is good.
E/G, CLUE: Make your way through town to the pitstop.
Phil: Canh Dong Dia, this rice paddy, the last team to check in here may be eliminated.
