--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phil: (Scene of LA) I'm standing aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. From this harbor, 11 teams will race around the world for $1 million. Helicopters are racing the teams toward the harbor.
Debbie/Bianca, lifelong friends from Virginia.
Lynn/Alex, a male couple
Rob/Amber, engaged couple (of professional mediawhores!)
Ryan/Chuck, best friends from South Carolina who call themselves "hillbillies"
Megan/Heidi, roommates from California
Susan/Patrick, mother and gay son from Ohio
Meredith/Gretchen, retirees from Maryland
Brian/Greg, brothers from LA
Uchenna/Joyce, married, Houston
Ron/Kelly, former POW and pageant queen, long-distance daters
Ray/Deana, daters from Ohio
Phil: Who will come up with the right combination of brains, brawn and teamwork to win the $1 million?
Teams assembled on the green.
Phil: In just a few minutes, you'll be leaving on a race around the world. Separated into legs. Various tasks. Cash to cover expenses except airline tickets. Eight pitstops are elimination points. If you're last, you'll be eliminated. Your first clue, waiting inside the envelope atop your luggage. When you get the word, get the clue, and run to the cars in the parking lot. The first team to cross the finish line wins $1 million.
All: Yeah! Yeah!
Phil: The world is waiting for you. Good luck. Travel safe. GO!!
puddin:
Mom/Son: We're on our way to PERU!
Uchenna: We grew up in Cali!
Joyce, clappy hands: This is great!!
Megan/Heidi argue over how fast (70 mph) they're going.
The hillbillies are unintelligible in spots, without closed captioning.
(And I fear the closed captioning would be garbled!)
Meredith: Lima, Peru!
Gretchen: Usually we'd be in front of the fireplace watching this, instead of in it!
Rob: So fah we'h doing good.
Ambah: We're in last.
puddin:
Deana: The other teams are breaking the rules!
Deana, conf: I can't stand it when Ray is always right.
Uchenna: Some teams are making a break. (SPeeding) We're in it to win it, okay?
Teams are flying past traffic on the 710.
One of the women teams (Megan/Heidi) sideswipes a guardrail from going too fast. Seems they're unscathed, although other teams noticed their near miss.
Rahb: How much money they give us?
Ahmbah: $132.
Rahb: This isn't Suhvivah. You can eat!
Patrick: My hands are shaking, I'm so excited!
Brian and Greg need to keep the headbands ... LOL
Kelly conf: I'm hoping the race will show Ron and I whether we're meant to be. If my dream comes tru, we win and it's a fairy tale ending.
First teams to the airport: Mom/GaySonPatrick. Hillbillies. Ray/Deana.
The first teams get on the first shuttle.
Ray: Dammit! There's the shuttle! Suck it up!
Deana: Dammit!
Uchenna: The shuttle!
Joyce: Everybody's here!
Male voice (?)Uchenna (?) : We gotta wait for another shuttle.
Susan/Patrick, Ron/Kelly, Ryan/Chuch, Lynn/Alex first to the teriminal.
Rahb/Ambah bringing up the reah.
Rahb: We're gonna win the million. But if we don't win it, we've already won a million!
Ambah and Rahb share a giggle.
*snicker*
puddin:
Here comes the next batch onto the shuttles.
Teams get American flight.
Ron/Kelly get American "'cause we're the all-American couple!"
The gay guys team guesses wrong and has to head for American.
Gretchen is lost.
G: Oh, god darn it. We have to go around.
American's terminal is closer to the shuttle stop than United.
So the next batch of shuttlepeeps decides to try American first.
Mom shares flight info with the blondes.
One of the blondes borrows a cell phone to ask about United 840.
Rahb/Ambah finally get to the airport.
Gretchen finally finds it, too.
Gretchen yells at the shuttle: STOP!
G: He's not gonna let us on.
Rahb and Ambah got on before them.
Rahb inside, looking at Gretchen, outside: That's too bad.
Gretchen: God darn it!
Eventually Gretchen gets the shuttle to stop, so they're on the last shuttle with Rahmbah.
Gay guys are stuck getting back on the shuttle to go to United. Rahb and Ambah are surprised. American's already full.
Standing in line and wondering if they'll have enough tickets on American, Joyce/Uchenna.
Acting all smug, Mom/Patrick and Team Blonde.
Uchenna and Joyce are SOL. Off to United.
On United: Romber, Gretchen/Meredith, Brian/Greg, Lynn/Alex
On American: Ryan/Chuck, Heidi/Megan, Mom/Patrick, Ron/Kelly and everyone who's not on the slower United.
