puddin:
thanks to SurvivorLDog93 @ sucks for the play by play  :tada:


Phil voice: Previously, six families left Panama, to Costa Rica. Teams sprinted to the edge of a volcano. Paolos conspired against the Weavers, who lashed out. At the Roadblock, Tammy Gaghan searched in vain. Teams ventured into a rain forest, and garbageman Tony Paolo outmuscled his sons. In the final run to the pitstop, Marian Paolo struggled to keep up, but they were team #1. The Gaghans couldn't catch up, and never recovered.

Now, five families remain. Who will be eliminated next?


Credits roll.

Phil voice: This is Costa Rica. This Pacific paradise, the sixth pitstop.

Can the Paolos continue to capitalize on teamwork?
Will Weavers survive being outcasts?

Paolo, 7:27 am, CLUE: Travel to Playa Maracas.
Phil: One team member swims out to a buoy for the next clue.
Marian, conf: I'm tired.

Linz, 7:28 am
$310 for this leg of the race.
Confs: This isn't about physical fitness. This is a learning experience.

Bransen, 7:29 am.
Confs: Dad can't handle it. It's gotta be a team effort.

Tony will swim out to the buoy for Paolos.
Mom: There's the Cincinnati boys ...
Linz family arrives, begins the buoy swim.
Bransens close behind.
Nick passes Tony.
Tony struggles.
Wally swims out and misses the buoy, to the dismay of the fam.

Nick, 1st to the buoy CLUE.
Tony hangs on the buoy, for dear life. He can't sink down underwater for the buried clue.
DJ: Dad! Don't drown!
The sons swim out and get him some help.

CLUE: Make your way to La Iglesia de Metal.
Phil: This metal church was imported from Belgium. An altar boy will give the next clue.

Bransen, 2nd to shore.
Tony Paolo finally makes it back to shore.
Linz speaking Spanglish, asking for phone.
Someone speaks ENGLISH!!

The drivers say it's a 2 1/2 hour drive.

At long last, Godlewski, 4th, leave the pitstop.
Sharon will swim.
Quickly she gets to the buoy, and double-overarm-backstrokes her way to the shore with the clue.

Weaver, 9:00, last to depart pitstop.
Conf: It's greater to be hated for who you are than loved for who you're not. We're competitors!

Rolly swims out and back in a jiffy.
Mom: Thank you, Jesus!


Godlewskis on payphone, arrange for taxi.
Weavers call on the same phone, get a taxi close behind.
More Spanglish. Rrrapido!

First to tow, Linz.
A funeral going on, as they reach the altar boy.

DETOUR.
Brush, or Barrel.
Brush, teams travel by taxi 10 miles to an ox cart factory. Choose a cartwheel, follow the pattern and decorate the wheel to the approval of the artisan.
Barrel. Travel 10 miles to a sugar plantation, transport 1 ton of sugar 6 miles, then search a factory for the next CLUE.

Decisions, decisions ...

Linz, sugar.
Paolo, sugar.

Weavers do handclaps and cheerleading for their driver Armando, as he passes everything on the road.

At the cane plantation, they load sugar cane.
Meanwhile, Godlewskis exasperated in traffic.

COMMERCIAL.

puddin:
Oops .. it was the Bransens exasperated before the commercial.

Anyway ...

Linz madly load sugar cane, while Paolos ... you guessed it ..> ARGUE.
Bransens still headed for the BRUSH, while in 4th, Godlewski choose to paint. In last, Weavers choose BRUSH.

Linz, Paolos toss cane.
Man: Esta' bien! (It's good!)
Linz leave the plantation in 1st.

Bransens start to paint; Godlewskis arrive.
The Godlewskeeediots are painting each outlined figure individually, instead of painting from the inside out. Bet they'll smudge 'em ...
Sharon: Trish! I don't wanna have to redo your stuff!

First to the "toneleria", Linz.
They look through marked racks for a barrel hiding the CLUE.
They find marked barrels.
They decide to use tools to open barrels.
They didn't have to!
CLUE: Fly to Phoenix, AZ.
Phil: They'll choose a marked car, and drive to the Bondurant (?) driving school (?) for the next clue.

Paolos look through barrels, find CLUE.
Off they go, for the aeropuerto.

Bransens come to the end of the paint job, get approval and a CLUE. They're off.

Godlewskis paint .. Weavers paint ...
Weavers finish in 4th.
Frustrated, Godlewski: How'd they finish!? They got here 20 minutes after us?
Sister: It's 'cause we're housewives!
Airport.
A plane leaves at 9:45, but there aren't enough seats.
The American Airlines peeps close the ticket counter.
Male (DJ?) voice: The guy's a MORON!

Weavers make it to the airport, with glee: The Cleavers! The Cleavers! Whee!

EQUALIZER.
Bransen, Paolos leaving 10 minutes ahead of Linz, the next morning.
Tony: Team Florida is on the same flight! Sonofabitch!
Godlewskis finally finish painting.
Off to the airport ...
DJ admits they're trying to knock the Weavers out.
Mom Weaver: Let's be friends.
DJ has this look on his face, like ... WTF!?!?
Linz flight #1.
Ten minute later departing, Weaver, Bransen, Paolo, Godlewski, all make flight #2.

Teams change planes in different cities.
At their airports, they try for better seats, to be closest to the front.

At the counter, Godlewski family is shocked to find out that America West somehow .. LOST their reservation?
Voice: Out luck just SUCKS!

COMMERCIAL.

puddin:
My network cut into election results  (:;)


At JFK, the Godlewskis beg to get on the flight.
America West finds a flight via Newark, and they'll accept.
THey have to taxi to EWR, though.
At EWR, they arrive.
They run to America West counter, and will arrive in PHX 9:20 am.

Flight #1, 7:00 am out of Newark, Godlewski.
FLight #2, leaves JFK with Weaver, Paolo, Bransen.
Flight #3, leaves Atlanta with Linz.

Phil: They have to drive 14 miles to the Bondurant Superkart School for the next clue.

PHX.
Godlewski, arrive 1st, 45 minutes EARLY!!!
Voice: Oh, man! It's hotter than SNOT!

Next, Flight #2 from JFK arrives with Bransen, Weaver, Paolo.
Teams run through the airport to find their designated cars.
Bransen, Weavers find the marked car. They take 10 East.
Paolos can't find a car.
Linz arrive last, quickly depart.

Mom Paolo holds up the team with whining and exhaustion.
Finally they find their Yukon and head off.
Mom: I hope to God you never get married, D! No wife would ever put up with your nonsense! I don't know why your dad just doesn't knock your head off!
At Bondurant ...

Godlewski, ROADBLOCK.
Phil: Suit up, get behind the wheel of a supercart, finish a 50 lap race in sweltering heat for the next CLUE.
Michelle will ride.

Bransen, 2nd to the ROADBLOCK. Weavers 3rd.
Weaver Mom: If this is that thing where you have to drive the car around, I'm doing it!
To man, Mom: My husband was killed on a race track a year ago. It was horrible.
More tears from the kids ...
More encouragement from the attendant ...
Off goes the Widow Weaver!
Michelle, Wally and Widow race around in the hot-ass Arizona sun.

The Weaver kids aren't enjoying this ... ONE ... BIT.

Linz, 4th to the ROADBLOCK.

In the lead, Godlewski and Bransen lap the Widow.
The Godlewski sisters go to the Weaver family and attempt encouragement. (Lamely, though.)

Michelle Godlewski almost finished.
Tommy Linz already at 14, catching up.

Michelle, 49 laps ... now 50.

Godlewski, CLUE: Drive yourselves to the next pitstop.
Phil: Ft. McDowell, in this ancestral tribal land, is the next pitstop. Last team to arrive MAY be eliminated.
Godlewskis argue over which direction to drive toward the Pitstop.
