Amazing Race Season 3: Episode 5 recap

Teams make their way from Germany to France.

DETOUR
In this Leg's Detour, teams chose between In the Trenches or Under Fire. For both tasks, teams dressed up as World War I-era American soldiers, known as Doughboys.

In the Trenches, teams traveled through trenches to a telegraph where they had to decipher a message in Morse code –"We will prevail. Vive la France."– and then presented their deciphered message to the French sergeant.

In Under Fire, teams crawled under barbed wire 100 feet to receive a message –"The war is over. Vive la liberté."– from a man in a foxhole. They then crawled back through the barbed wire to present the message to the sergeant. Before either task was completed and the teams received their clue, the message they received was sent to "headquarters" via carrier pigeon.

Teams doing In the Trenches
*Po and Shifu
*Applejack and Big Mac
*Dr Evil and Minime
*Frankenfurter and Rocky

Teams doing Under Fire
*Adam and Bill
*Beastly and No Heart
*Ghost Nappa and Vegeta
*Gru and Vector
*Michael Jackson and Whitney's ghosts



IN THE TRENCHES

Highlights

* Po and Shifu make it to the telegraph first, because Po thinks he's going to get Pillsbury crescent rolls and starts looking for the Pillsbury doughboy. Shifu hits him with the stick to keep him moving.

Lowlights

*Frankenfurter doesn't want to get his clothes dirty, so he and Rocky jump on Applejack and Big Mac, slowing the other team down. When Big Mac and Applejack get to the telegraph they buck Frank and Rocky off, making them land in a big mud puddle.

*Dr Evil loses Minime in a mud hole, and has to feel around to fish him out.

Quotes

Po "Shifu where are the crescent rolls? When they said doughboys I expected Pillsbury"
Po "Poke me and die old man, you should know better than to poke a hungry bear."

 Applejack and Big Mac say "Last stop on the pony express, " before bucking off Frank and Rocky.

Dr Evil, "come to daddy Minime, oh you stink."

UNDER FIRE

Highlights

*Bill and Adam suffer a temporary setback because Bill's pants get snagged on the barbed wire. Adam comes back and yanks Bill out of his pants, who finishes the detour in his underwear.

* No Heart turns into a tornado, whirling through the detour, carrying Beastly with him.

Lowlights

*Nappa and Vegeta get held up because Nappa keeps scratching his back with the barbed wire and purring like a kitten.

*Michael Jackson and Whitney get held up, because Michael Jackson keeps trying to steal the man in the foxhole's french military jacket, because he wants it for his next video.

*Gru and Vector use the shrink ray to shrink the wire, but they accidentally change the settings, so the wire ends up huge and everybody runs under it with no problem.

Quotes

*Michael Jackson and French lieutenant, "Oui," "non," "Oui!" "Non, non, monsieur Jackson. It is my coat!" Michael Jackson hits the lieutenant with the baguette and takes the coat anyway.
Whitney says "Michael's gone gangster! He's bad, bad, bad you know it!"

*Adam to Bill: You have to crawl under there
Bill: Under where?
Adam: Ha I made you say underwear and now I can see your underwear.

Nappa: PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Vegeta: Goddamnit, Nappa.

Gru: Run for it!!

BLIND U-TURN

Po and Shifu run past the u-turn, not wanting to use it. However Beastly and No Heart get to it second and decide to use it. Beastly and No Heart show up at the blind u-turn sign but Beastly falls on it and breaks it. No Heart says "What it is?" and then realises it's the u-turn sign. Beastly starts shouting, "we're going to win, we're going to win this leg."

Beastly says "let's u-turn Gru and Vector..no, no no, Dr Evil and Minime, no no, Nappa and Vegeta..."
No Heart says "No we're going to u-turn someone who actually cares." No Heart puts up Michael and Jackson and Whitney's ghosts picture, which means they have to go back and do the trenches.

The ponies and Adam and Bill end up at the u-turn at the same time.
"Who do you think did this?"
"Beats me, but we have to go to the pit stop now, so we better beat it. "

Vegeta using his super saiyan swagger, looks around and sees the sign has been flattened and put back up and says to Nappa, "it must've been that windbag No Heart and that Beastly. "
Nappa says "Sucks to be you, MJ and Whitney. "

Michael Jackson and Whitney see they've been u-turned and Michael Jackson starts to cry. Whitney grabs him, and drags him along saying "we don't have time for this, here's a tissue. " They go back to the trenches where they're chased by the french lieutenant who keeps screaming, "give me back my coat you smooth criminal, monsieur Jackson, you better take a look at the man in the mirror because he's bad, bad, bad you know it! Sacrebleu! Zut alors! Merde! ScheiSSe oh that is not french. Come back Michael Jackson. Heal the World. Michael Jackson waves the jacket behind him saying "vive la liberte for the coat!"

PIT STOP

Ernie and Bert wait at the pit stop. And suprisingly, in first place is Michael Jackson and Whitney. Michael Jackson wins/steals a free coat, courtesy of the french lieutenant. Whitney wins a new album called Let the spirit move you.

In second place, is the french lieutenant but he's not part of the race, so Ernie and Bert say "KIDNAP THAT FOOL" and drag him off. They give him a consolation prize, of a pink raincoat and he walks off like "Yes I'm a lady" which makes Bert raise his eyebrows.

The real second place team is Po and Shifu, with Shifu hitting Po with the stick screaming.

The third place team is Adam and Bill. Shifu drops the stick that he was hitting Po with, tripping Bill and Adam, who slide headfirst into third place, high fiving Bert and Ernie from the ground.

The fourth place team is Beastly and No Heart. No Heart gets really angry, "BEASTLYYYYYYYYYYYYY" because even though they u-turned MJ and Whitney, they still came in first. "n-n-n-n-o heart," Beastly says. No Heart grabs the stick and chases Beastly off the pit stop. "N-n-n-n-o Heart it's not my fault. Oh if only the care bears were here to distract you."

In fifth place is Applejack and Big Mac, who gallop in.. Bert and Ernie congratulate Big Mac and Applejack. "You are the 5th place team and that means you are still in the race." "Eyup"

In sixth place is Ghost Nappa and Vegeta. "Hey Vegeta, " says Nappa," guess what place we're in Vegeta."
"We're in sixth place Nappa." "No we're in 666 Vegeta." "What does that mean Nappa?" "It means....I've got a stuttering problem." "We're leaving Nappa."

In seventh place is Frankenfurter and Rocky. "Frank and Rocky, you are team number 7 and that means you are still in the race."

In eighth place is Dr Evil and Minime, who think they're in last and are all set to attack Bert and Ernie when Bert and Ernie tell them they are "team number 8 and are still in the race for 1 millionnn dolllarssss"

In last place is Gru and Vector. While trying to change the shrink ray settings after the barbed wire debacle, they accidentally shrink themselves and it takes them forever to get to the pit stop.
"Gru and Vector," Says Bert, "you are the last team to arrive and I am sorry to tell you, you have been eliminated from the race. " Since they are out of the race, and no longer a threat, Dr Evil who is good with frikkin laser beams,  helps fix their shrink ray and returns them back to normal size.

Amazing Race Season 3: Episode 4 recap

Firstup is an Intersection
At the Intersection, teams had to join with one other team to complete tasks and make decisions together until further notice. In this special Roadblock, one team member from each of the intersected teams had to take the S-Bahn bungee jump Crane (machine).

 Teams working together
Beastly and No Heart with Gru and Vector:Beastly and Gru are jumping.

Applejack and Big Mac and Po and Shifu: Applejack and Shifu are jumping.

Adam and Bill and Ghost Nappa and Vegeta: Adam and Vegeta are jumping.

 Miley and Billy Ray and Dr Evil and Minime: Billy Ray and Minime.

Frankenfurter and Rocky and Michael Jackson and Whitney's ghosts Frankenfurter and Whitney.

Beastly and Gru: Beastly cuts Gru's bungee cord and Gru says "
Beastly do you know anything about safety?" "Sure I know all about safety..." right as Gru falls to the ground..."What is it?"

Applejack and Shifu They bounce like crazy for an extra ten minutes. Shifu uses Po's stomach as a trampoline.

 Adam and Vegeta: Adam is too scared to jump, so Vegeta pushes him over the edge.

 Billy Ray and MinimeThey jump off and Minime flies out of his harness but luckily for him he is saved by Billy Ray's mullet.

Frankenfurter and Whitney: They jump off but somehow at the end of the jump they sonehow switch outfits.

 DETOUR The Detour for this Leg was a choice between Soccer or Sauerkraut. In Soccer, teams made their way to Adolf-Jäger-Kampfbahn Stadium and had to successfully kick a ball from the penalty mark (12 yd/11 m) through 5 targets located in the goal to receive their next clue. In Sauerkraut, teams had to travel to a restaurant called Alt Hamburger Bürgerhaus and eat a plate of sauerkraut while a band played a song called the "Sauerkraut Polka". Teams had to finish the plate before the end of the song in order to receive their clue. If the song ended first, they had to start over with a new plate of sauerkraut.

SOCCER
Highlights: *With 8 powerful pony legs Applejack and big Mac had no problem with this, kicking the ball like they just came off of the world cup field.
*Frankenfurter also showed off his legs and his soccer skills running around in skimpy soccer shorts and high heeled soccer cleats.
Minime also did fantastically good, running underneith and between the legs of the ponies and Frankenfurter like a little mini machine.

Low lights:
*Nappa kicked the ball so hard that it hit Beastly carrying him through the goal posts.
Quotes: No heart: Beastly! Get back here! Nappa: Hey Vegeta, look at me, I'm a balla! Minime: Wheeeeee  

Sauerkraut

While a band played a song called the "Sauerkraut Polka". Teams had to finish the plate before the end of the song in order to receive their clue. If the song ended first, they had to start over with a new plate of sauerkraut.

Highlights:
Bill and Adam love burgers so after choking down some sauerkraut they danced the polka with their empty plates on their heads, ordered some burgers and headed for the pit stop.

Gru and Vector used the shrink ray on the plate of sauerkraut, shrinking it then downing it.

Lowlights:
Po couldn't wait to get into the sauerkraut. Unfortunately it turned him into a panda powder keg of gas! Po's gas bubble burst blasting him and his chair right out of the area. The force of the blast so strong it made Billy Ray's mullet stand up straight.

A hazard team came in and covered the detour is yellow caution tape.

Quotes:
MJ and Whtney: If we weren't dead we'd both be dying right now.
Po (After stomach starts to gurgle): Uh oh... Boom!
The Polka Band: And we call this number the I choka on Panda Smoka Polka. (they pass out just before they can start playing the song)

PIT STOP

First to arrive is Po and Shifu, who departed the detour in fart style. "Po and Shifu, " says Ernie as they breeze past, "you're team number one and that means you are in fart..I mean first place. As the winners of this leg of the race, you have won a gas cooker courtesy of the New Zealand gas company. Ernie turns to Bert and says "hey wait a minute, you're not Bert...your skins turned all green! Bert you're not Bert!" The MBB come and take Bert away strapping an oxygen mask to his face. 

 Second to arrive in a cloud of gas is  Applejack and Big Mac "Applejack and Big Mac, you're team #2! "says Ernie, "you may want to take some time like the rest of us to catch your breath."

Third to arrive is Ghost Nappa and Vegeta. Nappa and Vegeta come into the pit stop. Nappa had far too much red bull because he thought it would give him wings so he mistakes Ernie for a Pokemon and tries to catch him. Vegeta tells him, "you have to damage it first, " but lets it go after Ernie tells them they are in 3rd place and still in the race.

Fourth to arrive, ready to rescue Ernie is Adam and Bill. "Adam and Bill, "says Ernie, "you are team #4 and are still in the race." In the words of Homer Simpson they say wooohooooo and go to get a Duff beer.

In 5th place, still struggling along from the sauerkraut detour is Michael and Whitney's ghosts, Whitney starts singing, "why didn't we have it all ?" and Michael Jackson replies, "the smell is bad, bad, you know it's bad bad bad."

In 6th place is Gru and Vector who seem glad to still be in the race.

In 7th place is Dr Evil and Minime 

In 8th place is Beastly and No Heart.

In 9th place is Frankenfurter and Rocky who sing about it.

In last place is Miley and Billy Ray.
"Miley and Billy Ray," Ernie says, "you are the last team to arrive. I am sorry to tell you that does mean you have been eliminated from the race."

Billy ray: Says to Miley watch how your pappa use to do this as a kid. Yee haa! Unfortunately he ends up getting the lasso caught in his own mullet giving himself a very fancy looking pony tail . From behind he looks like he is a third my little pony.

AppleJack Struggles because teams keep lassoing her instead of the horse they are supposed to which holds up her and Big Mac. .Sick of her team being roped by other teams Applejack decides to get the assistance of her horse buddies to cause a diversion on the Adam and Bill team, causing a rift between the two teams.

He skillfuly disarms MJ with a move that he got from Jackie Chan in Rush hour 2. then filling the squirt gun with chocolate sauce, he squirts the target. Poe instantly snags it dragging it in and licking it clean. Shifu smacks Po with a chopstick reminding him that he has no idea where that target has been.

Gru
Seeing as everyone else used guns and they used to promote violence, Gru pulls out Vector's shrink ray and accidentally fires it at the target, causing it to be smaller which gives him even more trouble with the roadblock.
Bella 
Bella ends up snagging her target by pretending that it's Jacob as he hates Edward's washboard of a chest.

Next up is a Detour.In the Detour, teams chose between Horse Sense and Horse Power. In Horse Sense, teams were given a set of directions by a gunslinger and, using only a stationary compass as a navigational aid, had to find a bag of loot buried in a field. They then had to deliver the bag to the lead bandit, and if the markings on their bag matched the coordinates given to them, he would give the team coin with the name of the Pit Stop location on it as their next clue.

Amazing Race Season 3: Episode 1 recap

All the teams are transported to the starting line by bus. This is the first time in the Amazing Race where we have 3 ghosts entered. We also have some musical talent. Pity Statler and Waldorf aren't here. Ernie and Bert are waiting at the starting line.

Ernie fires the starting pistol.
Bert: "Hey Ernie, you know you're not supposed to play with guns!" "Now Give me that".

Ernie: Hey Bert hey Bert I need to start the race now stand back... On your mark, Get ready... Go!"A flare whistles right over top of Bert's head parting his hair right down the middle. Teams race for the clue, running over a stunned and shocked Bert.

Bill and Adam pause to help Bert back up and return him to Ernie's side..Adam: "It's not easy being the host but you two will do great. Keep up the fine work. " 
 Adam grabs Bill and they race off for the clue.

Teams are now headed to Chile

Bill" Hey Adam Shaggy and Scooby never found the Chilli in Chile do you think we will?"
Adam: Dohohohohohohohoho

The first task in this race leg is a ROADBLOCK.













In the first Roadblock of the Race, one team member has to cross a tightrope the length of a football field (360 ft/110 m) suspended 120 feet (37 m) above the ground.

Team members doing the roadblock:

Bill makes his way slowly and cautiously along the tight rope.
Adam yells encouragement from below: "Bill! Just don't look dow... Never mind. Keep going you're doing great."
Adam says to Bill before they leave "Good thing Shaggy and Scoob aren't here. They'd probably try to eat Big Mac and Applejack."

Applejack: Applejack chooses to take this one for the team and walks across carefully, one hoof after another. "Easy, just don't look down...." 
Big Mac "Eyup" 

Beastly:  No heart tricks Beastly into doing it.
No heart: "Beastly you do this!"
Beastly: "But I'm afraid of heights."
No Heart: "Beastly!"
Beastly: "I guess I'm afraid of no heart even more." 

Edward: Beastly races across the tight rope trying to get away from Edward who thinks that Beastly might make a good snack.


As Applejack runs off she says to Big Mac" Hey Big Mac that vampire is sparkling. "
Big Mac' Think he's heard of Twilight Sparkle?"
(echo of dohohohohohohoho)

Darth Vader: Darth Vader shows off the power of the dark side by doing cartwheels across the tight rope and light saber tricks half way. 

Minime: Dr. Evil tricks Mini Me into doing this challenge by betting him 

"1 million dollars" that he can't do it.


Ghost Nappa: He gets up and starts bouncing on the tight rope going "wheeeee this is fuuuuun" "Vegeta you should come up here and try this is fuuuun."
Vegeta: "Nappa! We're in a race damn it! Stop fooling around." 

Gru: Gru does it. He appears to be executing a series of ballet moves across the tight rope. No one knows where he got the tutu from but he finishes with a flying leap over the end. 

Justin Bieber: Justin does well but near the end he loses his balance and has a fall. Luckily he is harnessed in.Being Justin Bieber he yells down to Selena: "Hey babe I'm fallin for you" 

Michael Jackson: Michael Jackson, not wanting to be outdone by Darth Vader or outshone  by sparkling Edward, moonwalks his way backwards across the tight rope, waving his gloved hand at the crowd below. 

Billy Ray Cyrus: Billy Ray line dances his way across the tight rope.He does the Boot Scootin Boogie.

Shifu: Shifu does it and does a series of kung fu moves across the tight rope, nabbing a dumpling off a plate at the end.

Once they finish teams take a funicular down the mountain to find their next clue. 

Now they have an additional task in place of a detour! 



At Paseo Templeman, teams picked up painting supplies (4 paint cans, paint brushes, and a ladder) and had to find a group of house painters next to a house matching the color of their paint. Once at the house, they had to finish painting a portion of the house to receive their next clue.





Highlights

*Michael Jackson gets a zombie army to perform Thriller with him up the road

*As he is carrying the paint cans, Billy Ray starts singing: "Don't tell me back, my achy braky back, This painting biz is real tough work to hack."

*Justin sings "Hi ho" as they walk down the road with their ladder and paint. 

*Applejack and Big Mac work together to load up their supplies and gallop off to start painting.

*Beastly and No heart decide to sabotage  Dr. Evil and Minime and maybe Gru and Vector by swtiching some of their paint cans around.

*Po and Shifu  accidentally rescue Dr. Evil and Minime, and Gru and Vector because Po Says that the paint cans remind him of marshmellows and he is jealous  that the other 2  teams got assorted marshmellows while he and Shifu just had all the same plain old marshmellows. 

*Edward complains that the paint isn't glitter and comes out in a silver suit "got my bling bling on now"


*Frankenfurter  sings: "Sweet paint bless my soul, I really love the brush and roll."

Lowlights

*Ghost Nappa smacks the cans, splattering paint all over Vegeta. "You can't defeat me, I'm the patty cake champion"

*Richard Hatch accidentally whacks Darth in the head with the ladder denting Darth's helmet. 

*Adam and Bill meanwhile were chased by a gang of angry painters when they accidentally went into a house where a paint crew not part of the Amazing race was working, and started painting. 

Quotes

Adam and Bill:  As they run away from the angry painters "Running for our lives wasn't quite what I had in mind when you said let's paint the town red. I didn't think it was gonna be with our own blood." 
"Run faster"!!! 

Darth Vader: Hieavy breathing sounds as Richard Hatch whacks his helmet.

Edward to Bella: "I bring the Bling babe!"


Applejack"Now that's what I call Twilight Sparkle"
Big Mac "Eyyupppp"

PIT STOP

The first team to arrive at the pit stop, red paint and all is Adam and Bill. 
Ernie: Hey bert, hey bert, I'm not sure if that's our first team or a red fire truck  racing to the pit stop.
Bert: Ernie It's Adam and Bill and it looks like they've been out painting the town red and everything else that got in their way.

Ernie won't let them into the pit stop because they're not Adam and Bill because they are all covered in red paint and stuff so he has to call the Missing AB bureau.

Once Bert gets some paint thinner and helps Adam and Bill to clean off Ernie let's them check in.

Ernie"Adam and Bill you're team number #1 and that means you are still in the race. 


Bert"As the winners of this leg of the race you have won 100 pounds of red licorice, a trip to Disney World and some tickets to see the Boston Red Sox. Oh and also a towel monogrammed with the Missing AB Bureau..." 

The second team to arrive is Michael Jackson and Whitney 
MJ moonwalks into the pit stop while carrying Whitney and doing back spins. 
"Michael Jackson, " says Ernie, "Whitney...you're team number 2 and that means you are still in the race! Can I have your autograph?"

The third team to arrive is Applejack and Big Mac. "Applejack and Big Mac, " says Ernie, "you're team number 3 and that means you are still in the race!!" 
Applejack" That's great news. 
Big Mac "Eyup"

The fourth team to arrive is Miley and Billy Ray. "Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus, you're team number 4 and that means you are still in the race!!" Miley: Hey Pop, it's like climbing a mountain but we will get there.

The fifth team to arrive is No Heart and Beastly. After they check in, No Heart gives Beastly a present (a treadmill) 
Beastly" I love it...It's something I've always wanted....what is it?
No Heart "A guarantee that you will win the leg next time!!" 

The sixth team to arrive is Nappa and Vegeta. Nappa: Did you hear that Vegeta we're still in the race.
Vegeta: ugggh u-ugh *has a nosebleed*
Nappa: You okay vegeta?
Vegeta: Yes, ju-just an aneurysm out of sheer stupidity 
Nappa: Wow-didn't think you were that stupid Vegeta

The seventh team to arrive is Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez who seem shocked to learn that they are in 7th and didn't come last. Bert asks Justin: Who is this lovely lady that you are racing with?
To which Bieber responds with: "She my baby baby baby ya.

Dr Evil and Minime arrive in eighth.Ernie says "Dr Evil and Minime you are team number 8 and still in the race for 1 miiiiillion dollaarrrs"

Bella and Edward arrive in 9th. "Bella and Edward, " says Ernie, "Bella and Edward our sparkly friends you can shine because you're team number nine and that means you are still in the race." 

Rocky and Frankenfurter come in 10th. "Rocky and Frank, " says Bert, "you're team number 10 and that means you are still in the race!" 

Po and Shifu manage to come in 11th place. "Po and Shifu, " says Ernie, squeaking a rubber ducky "you are team number 11 and that means you squeaked by enough to be in the race"

Gru and Vector arrive in 12th place. "Vector and Gru, " says Bert, "You're team number 12 and that means you are still in the race!" Vector kicks Gru as they leave the pit stop. 

Darth Vader and Hatch are the last team to arrive. "Darth Vader and Richard Hatch, I'm sorry to  say but I guess the power of the dark side wasn't very strong this time. You are the last team to check in and you have been eliminated."

Teams are now headed to Puerto Rico, then United States to finish THE AMAZING RACE.

In Pony Up, teams had to ride a horse into the ocean then hang onto its tail as it goes around buoys, when the horse has finished its course, teams would receive their next clue. In Tee It Up, teams had to dress in proper golfing attire, then went out to the driving range and had to hit a golf ball into a 16-foot (4.9 m) area 140 yards (130 m) away. When one of the team members' puts a ball on the green, teams would receive their next clue.

Waldorf: No I feel like an episode of the muppet show right now.
Statler: Why's that?
Waldorf: Cause I"m sinking you old fool. help help!
Waldorf: Well we survived that challenge. I guess we will have a whale of a tale to tell.
Statler: Don't you mean a horse?
Waldorf: Of course. Dohohohohohohoho.

During the challenge:
Statler and waldorf together: Heads or tails? Tails for the win.

At the end of the challenge:
Statler: Well that was a medium cahllenge.
Waldorf: A medium chalenge? Are you sure?
Statler: Yup it wasn't rare and it certainly wasn't well done.Dohohohohohohoho.

TEE IT UP

Highlights

*Everyone is showing off their fancy golfing attire.Shaggy is looking very smart in his checkered pants while Scooby is wearing a shirt promoting Ernie's Barber shop and some very baggy long green and white shorts.

* Susan does a pirouette swinging her leg over top of Shaggy's head causing his smart white golfing cap to go flying.

Lowlights

*Shaggy takes some time to dig his hat and wig out of the sand trap where they landed.

*BOB rolls down the driving range and falls into the pond but gets his ball back.

*Susan keeps blasting the balls right over the green and one smashes through the window of Adam's make up trailer landing on his huge pile of Spaghetti .Adam almost chips a tooth biting into the golf ball thinking it was a meatball. From outside Bumblebee can be heard playing "On top of spaghettttiii"

Quotes

*Before the challenge started Susan looked over to Shaggy and Scooby and asked:
Susan: Have you got the balls for this challenge?
Shaggy and Scooby were flabbergasted and not sure what to say.
Susan: Oh, there they are.
And she reaches behind them grabbing a bucket of golf balls.
Susan: There is a bucket of balls there for you guy too, hurry up.
Scooby"Rehehehehehehehehe. "
Shaggy "Like zoinks Scoob like i thought she was saying we're cowards."
Scooby"re rare...rarent re?"

Teams head to the roadblock from there. In the final Roadblock of the race, one team member had to dive off a 30 ft (9.1 m) bridge then swim 90 yards (82 m) to a buoy, where they would find their next clue. After obtaining the clue, they went to the waiting boats that returned them to shore.

Team members doing the roadblock:


Scooby: Scooby stands on the edge of the bridge teeth chattering and knees knocking."Rikes Raggy Ri ron't rike reights!" Shaggy throws some Scooby snacks into the air in front of Scooby and before he realises what he has done he dives after the snacks
Scooby: Gulp! rmm rooby ranks... Rikes! Ragggggy!!!

Susan:
Susan does a canon ball and soaks everyone.
She causes a huge tidal wave that Scooby rides grabbing the clue on his way past.

Statler:Statler gets a soaker while stan "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine." Waldorf"you old fool I'm not your son and my name's not Shine. Now jump in that water and start swimming you old fool." Statler says "Where's that crazy barber I could use a rubber ducky right now. "

FINISH LINE

Teams can now head to the finish line in the United States. All teams get on the same plane so it could be anyone's guess who wins. All the previously eliminated teams are gathered at the finish line to see who will be the winner of The Amazing Race Season 2 when Scooby and Shaggy appear. The two of them sprint away from a headless Frankenstein who reveals himself to be Richard Hatch, winking at the cameras.They crash through the finish line and come to a stop in front of Adam.
"A race lasting 29 days and nearly 40,000 miles. I am pleased to tell you that you are the winners of The Amazing Race and have solved the mystery of winning 1 million dollars!!!!"


Shaggy: Zoinks, and double Zoinks, Scoob we did it we won. That million dollars will sure buy a lot of tuna fish and chocolate ice cream subs. mmmmMaybe we can even buy a new pimped out mystery machine for Freddy to drive.
Scooby says "ri rouldnt rave rone rit rithout ry rood rold ruddy raggy"
Shaggy says "And I couldn't have done it without my best buddy in the whole wide world. Now let's do what we do best, Scoob. Eat!" The crowd lift up Shaggy and Scooby and they start crowd surfing.

As Statler and Waldorf come in to the check in mat:
Adam: "Well, here they are ladies and Gentleman. It's Starsky and Crutch. "
S and W: Hey Adam your standing too close to the check in mat.
"Well how's this?"
"Still too close."
"How's this?"
"A little more."
"Well how far back do you want me to go?"
S and W: "Gotta car?"
Adam: I outta punch you in the nose for that.
S"Please not while I'm holding it."
Holding their noses Statler and Waldorf go to be checked in.
Adam: You may be crusty and you may be dusty but you old fellows are team number two! Congratulations!"


Adam:" BOB and Susan you didn't win the race but you still made a big finish! Congratulations you are team number three."Susan hugs Bob and says she is proud of how far they came and everything they saw. Bob is too busy looking at the green jello with pineapple chunks and saying it is his new love. Bob says he lost interest in Mark when he got dyed purple because purple isn't his color.

Adam announces that the Amazing Race Season 2 is now over. A monster yells "Time for makeupppp." "What?" "Makeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuppppppppppppp." Adam gets powderpuffed with a giant cloud of powder in his face. Statler and Waldorf grab him and pull him onto the bus where the other team members are now and Mr Burns drives away. Adam can be heard screaming "Let me outtttttt...." and we hear Kermit say "Can I help you out?" "Please." "which way did you come in?"

The screen fades to black. It goes fuzzy and then a clip of Freddy and Jason appear from space saying "We'll be back. Hasta la vista, baby."

Standby for Season 3 and 4.
