Episode #11 Recap: THE FINALE

Our teams in the finale are: BERT and ERNIE, CHEWBACCA and HAN and FLUTTERSHY and RAINBOW DASH. Who will win The Amazing Race?

The first task for this is the ROADBLOCK The final Roadblock of the Race required one team member to search through a pile of more than 300 surfboards for eleven that displayed a picture depicting a task, location, or person related to the ten previous legs of the race—one from each of the first nine legs, and one from each half of the double leg (the remaining surfboards had pictures depicting unrelated objects, some of which were pictures showing tasks from previous seasons). Then they had to arrange the surfboards in a fence in chronological order of their appearance during the Race. When all eleven surfboards were displayed in the correct order, they would receive their final clue.

Team members taking on the roadblock:

Bert
Chewbacca
Fluttershy

Bert and Fluttershy are evenly matched and work quickly to do the task. Chewy is moving a little bit slower and is a little bit more clumsy with the surfboards. He accidently turns around while carrying one of the boards and whacks Han in the face with it. Ernie sees this laughs and Yells "Hey Han, Surfs up!"

The teams begin arranging their surfboards in chronological order. When Bert finds the board with the cheese wheel picture on it he looks over at Ernie and says: "Ernie... Don't let a cheese wheel hit me in the head"

Chewy also finds the cheese board and goes "mwrorr urghrrr rnnh" and holds his stomach.

All three teams decide to work together to complete the task.

DETOUR

At Beach Access 118, teams had to season a 145-pound (66 kg) pig with island flavoring, then carry it suspended on a bamboo pole 200 yards (180 m) along the beach to a Hawaiian luau. At the luau, they had to properly cover the pig for traditional kalua cooking to receive their next clue. This task was one of the two Detour choices on this leg, but since all teams chose to do the same Detour, it was shown as a miscellaneous task.

Highlights:

*Ernie disappears for a while leaving Bert wondering where he has gone.When he shows up, Ernie has Grass skirts and coconut bras for all the teams.

*Chewy and Han look like something out of Baywatch with the way they run down the beach carrying their pig.

*The ponies gallop down the beach with their pig.

Lowlights:

*Chewy hears the music "Gettin down tonight" and gets down and kisses his pig on the snout causing Han to hit him over the head with the stick.

*Bert and Ernie struggle with the weight of the pig and have a few falls.Ernie in an effort to try and catch up tries to move quicker but accidently knocks Bert into the pit where the pig will be cooked and starts covering Bert. Bert gets out and resembles a mouldy banana. Ernie doesn't recognise Bert again! This causes another visit from the MBB who peel away the leaves to reveal the real Bert once again.

Quotes:
Rainbow Dash to Fluttershy: Does any of this remind you of Lord of the Flies?
Fluttershy: I'm so glad I'm vegetarian.

Han singing to Chewy: Get up get on up! while he whacks him with a stick. He then changes once Chewy is up to "Let's get physical."Han dances around in his grass skirt while singing and whacking Chewy.

Ernie to Bert: "Hey Bert that's no way to toss a pig skin" as they fall carrying the pig.

Bert to Ernie:" I'm sure glad Miss Piggy isn't here for this."

Additional Task

.At McGregor Point, teams had to get on a personal water craft and ride one mile (1.6 km) along a marked path in search of a field of 100 buoys. They then had to search the buoys for one of four that had their next clue attached.

*The ponies are off like a shot racing for the buoys. Following closely behind by Chewy and Han. Han yells to Chewy Warp speed isn't going to be fast enough we need to speed like we're Penne Al Aribiata and Mr Stevens is after us!

*Ernie is having heeps of fun driving around his water craft he is spinning circles around Bert and yelling "Weeeeee! ",spraying Bert in the face with his wake.

*Chewy crashes into the clue. Han tries to help Chewy back on to his watercraft the ponies race up and get a clue too, followed by Bert and Ernie. After which a high speed water craft race ensues as all three teams gun it for the shore.Bert and Ernie are first on shore followed closely behind by the ponies who overtake them on foot.Chewy and Han are the last on shore but because they are taller than Bert and Ernie they too quickly catch up on foot.

The teams are headed for the finish line.

At the finish line, the wizards and witches have finished transporting everybody and are waiting with anticipation to see who comes first. Homer and Barney try to eat a man in a donut costume then drink lots of beer. The excitement is high. Even Adam and Bill, resident bloggers helped along by a team of kittens and the force are excited.

PIT STOP

In a thunders rush of galloping hooves the ponies come barrelling into the pit stop first!!! All the eliminated teams cheer as the ponies go up to Adam. Ross yells "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

"Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash....22 days, 9 countries, 40,000 miles Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash I am pleased to tell you you are the winners of THE AMAZING RACE and have won 1 million dollars." Everyone claps and cheers.
The ponies bro-hoof Adam.

Fluttershy says "I can't believe we made it."
Rainbow Dash" I couldn't have done it without her."
"To all our pony peeps thanks for your support."

A hot hairy and panting Chewy and a sweaty Han come running into the pit stop.Chewy and Han come running to the pit stop. Everyone cheers and claps for them too.

"Chewy and Han, " says Adam "you're team #2 you fought a great race. Through cheese wheels and silent night operas.Congratulations. The force is strong within you both." Luke and Leia run up to hug Chewy and Han. A man in a very tattered doughtnut suits comes running through.Chewy tells Adam how he thinks he might take up gymnastics after the race and Han thinks that he might try and become an underwear model for Calvin Klein.

Bert and Ernie come rushing into the pit stop with everyone screaming and yelling and cheering them on.
"Bert and Ernie, " says Adam, "you're team #3. You ran a good race. Good job guys. " Ernie and Bert are hugged by the witches and hobbits. Bert and Ernie and Frodo and Sam decide to have a double wedding after the race.Oprah hugs Ernie and Bert and signs a book deal.

Ernie: Hey Adam hey Adam, WE been to 9 different countries, we travelled 40,000 number of miles, we've even seen Bert in a dress and his underwear too heee hee heee hee- (Ernie!) but Bert and I were wondering if you could tell us one thing...
Adam: What?
Ernie and Bert together singing: Can you tell us how to get, how to get to Sesame-a Street. Then Ernie pulls out a ukelele and starts rocking out with the crowd.

The show ends with a huge party. Oprah and Jeremy Kyle waltz, Ernie plays the time warp on the ukelele and everyone dances, Homer and Barney come out with some crazy acrobatic moves as they stand on giant cheese wheels and walk them around. Batman, Robin,Daphne and Velma, Leonard and Sheldon, and the wizards have a massive game of leap frog going on. and a space ship with a huge banner flying behind it say congratulations on completing the race circles in the sky. The lady boys and the MBB take turns dressing and undressing Bert.

Just as the show ends the screen goes black and fuzzy then Freddy and Jason appear.They point a cupcake at the screen and whisper "We'll be back. "

FADE TO BLACK.
