Episode #7 Recap

The teams travel from India to Thailand.

DETOUR

100 barrels or 2 miles In 100 Barrels, teams had to travel to Pae Yod, choose one of 6 fishing boats, fill 47 barrels with water, and load 53 on the upper deck. In 2 Miles, teams had to transport a rickshaw (with one team member sitting in it) 2 miles (3.2 km) from Wat Phutta Mongkhon Nimit to King Rama IX Park to find the next clue. Bike pumps were provided alongside the rickshaws in the event of a flat tire.

FAST FORWARD

To get the fast forward, teams must go to the market and give 5 people a hair cut.

Ernie and Bert are going for the fast forward because they want to win a leg and they don't care whose leg it is.

Teams doing 100 barrels:

*Chewy and Han

*Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash

*Freddy and Jason

Teams doing 2 miles:

* Frodo and Sam

*Hermione and Luna

*Leonard and Sheldon

FAST FORWARD

Ernie gives his famous hair cut, shaving all the monks bald which they like but he clips so fast that he doesn't realise he has cut Bert's hair too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hou8AyxWTYw and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRMZkEoBbuQ

Ernie and Bert head to the pit stop.

100 barrels

Highlights:

*Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash do well because Fluttershy imagines that she is feeding a herd of camels.

Lowlights:

*Chewy falls in the water and smells like wet wookie.

Quotes:

Freddy and Jason: 'What's in these barrels? A dead body?'

Jason: Aww if there is, you got the lucky barrel.

Han: Oh man Chewy and I thought wet dog was bad.

2 miles

Highlights

*Leonard and Sheldon get off to a strong start.

*Hermione and Luna get off to a strong start.

*The hobbits have hard time keeping up because of their short legs and have to do double the distance because they take two steps for ever one of the humans but are determined to finish the race leg.

* Luna and Herminone turn around to help the hobbits but keep making Hanz and Franz Jokes about how they are there to "pump you up"!

Lowlights

*The hobbits get a flat tire.

*Leonard and Sheldon:Shelden rides in the rickshaw and takes out a whip to smack Leonard in the butt with, explaining how it is a tactical necessity and he calculated it would motivate Leonard to move. Leonard and Sheldon argue.Leonard, tired of being whipped by Sheldon sits crosslegged on the ground and meditates in peaceful protest. Sheldon not wanting to lose picks up cross legged Leonard and starts carrying him.Leonard noticing the whip in Sheldon's back pocket grabs it and starts whipping Shelden who scream ouch! and drops Leonard, scolding Leonard by reminding him that "Leonard, I bruise easily! why did you do that?"

Quotes:

Leonard: Ow Sheldon ow!

Sheldon: Oh I'm sorry, I thought it would motivate you to move faster. If my calculations are correct with each whipping you should move about 3% faster.

Luna: "Hello little girly hobbit men" "We're here to pump you up!" (Speaking in cheesy arnold accent and flexing biceps)

PIT STOP

Ernie and a rather bald Bert arrive at the pit stop mat. 'Ernie and Bert,' says Adam, 'you're team #1!" Members of the Missing Bert Bureau show up behind them wearing suits and ties and sunglasses. Ernie say: "ya hear that Bert number one numero uno!" Then he rubs Bert's bald head for good luck. Adam says 'As the winners of this leg of the race you have won your MBB badges and immunity for the next leg of the race which means you cannot be eliminated. You also get an all expenses paid trip to Cleveland for the world Barber shop quartet sing off.'

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash arrive. 'Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, you're Team #2!"

Hermione and Luna and Frodo and Sam arrive at the pit stop together. "Hermione and Luna, you're team #3, Frodo and Sam you're team #4!" The two teams high five each other.

Han Solo and Chewy arrive in 5th place. "Han and Chewy, you're team #5 and you're still in the race!"

Freddy and Jason, arrive in 6th place. "Freddy and Jason, you're team #6!"

Leonard and Sheldon arrive in last. Sheldon: "Hey Leonard, Isn't that Penny over there? Making out with with that bald banana headed guy?"

"What! Lenard runs to look. Then realises he has been duped and throws a banana at Sheldon but his aim is so bad that he hits Bert.

Ernie "Hey Bert, I like your hair Bert. You're very appealing with this hair Bert."

"Leonard and Sheldon,' says Adam 'You are the last team to arrive. I am sorry to tell you you have both been eliminated from the race.'

Sheldon: Really? Where did it all go wrong? According to my calculations...he says pulling a chart out entitled "Race winning probability." Leonard peels a banana and shoves it into Sheldon's mouth before he can finish. Leonard passes out on the ground.

Elimination Station #6

The teams are drinking Duff Beer and eating Scooby snacks while they wait for the next team to arrive.

They are all shocked when the wizards walk through the door. Ross immediately yells at them that it really sucked to be a hoover and the other teams boo the wizards until they make donuts appear and a giant game of Tetris which causes everybody to calm down and realise that it is a good thing, because the wizards haven't won the race.

Jeremy Kyle supports Freddy and Jason still because he tells the wizards they did a good job of keeping the ratings up but he still supports the killer team.

Oprah still supports Bert and Ernie and wants to get the rights to the film version of Ernie and Bert race to the finish line.

Rachel and Ross are still voting for the ponies since friendship is magic.

Daphnne and Velma hope Hermione and Luna can win the race.

Batman and Robin support the hobbits because they were always friendly to them and never sabotaged anyone.

Luke and Leia want the force to be with Chewy and Han.

Homer and Barney don't care. 'Pass the donuts. Are we still racing?'

Gandalf and Saruman want Leonard and Sheldon to win and Saruman confesses that he cast a spell on Gandalf to make him do evil things and the spell has worn off. Jeremy Kyle offers to have them on the show to talk about it.

Homer and Barney ask in Russian "Are we still racing?"

Most of the teams want Freddy and Jason to lose but are too afraid to say.

Exit interview with Gandalf and Saruman

You've got a bit of a reputation for being bad boys among our other contestants.

Gandalf and Saruman sing: Bad boys, bad boys what you going to do when they come for you.

What do you have to say about your antics on the race?

Saruman: Well we set out to win this race, at any cost. Even if that meant racing ruthlessly.

Where did the race leg go wrong for you?

Gandalf: It started with the camel dung. And it's all in the footwear. Next time we're going after a Nike sponsorship.

Saruman: Yeah and it didn't help that we got U-turned and backstabbed.

Why do you think Freddy and Jason u-turned you?

Saruman: They thought we were a threat.

Gandalf: Yeah.

Where did you learn how to run the race?

Saruman: We learned from our coach, Richard Hatch.

Gandalf: Yeah he taught us everything we know.

Sorry? Richard Hatch?

Saruman: The evil genius from such shows as Survivor and Celebrity Apprentice.

Why did you turn Adam's head into a tetris game?

Saruman: We saw a funny show on TV called Fast and Loose that inspired us. That and Adam's jaw actually is a perfect square.

The wizards finish their interview early to go to the elimination station.

Episode #6 Recap

The teams travel from Russia to India. All of the teams make the same flight and are therefore equalized(again). When they get to India they encounter a ROADBLOCK. In this roadblock, teams must use traditional tools to pile hay up to a marked line and fill a trough with water.

Team members decide who will do the roadblock.

Bert and Ernie: Ernie is doing the roadblock. Hey Bert, it's hay Bert. Ernie sings a Hay piling song and sails through the road block. Ernie: hey hey hey, I pile hay, every day, I pile some hay. Then I fill the trough fill the trough then I take things off take things off-Kick it!!! Take things off take things off!!! Bert: Ernie! This is the last straw!

Chewy and Han: Han is doing this one. Han works quickly piling the hay while Chewy grunts encouragement. When they are finished Han jumps on the camel takes off his hat and shouts look at me Chewy I"m Han of Arabia.

Gandalf and Saruman: Saruman takes the road block challenge for the wizards. But he is used to having evil henchmen to do his dirty work so he is slow and clumsily piling the hay.They also have an over anxious camel that goes for the hay accidentally knocking Saraman into the water trough. To add insult to injury as the wizards complete the road block and race off to the detour they both step in camel dung and it takes for ever to remove it from those pointy wizard shoes.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy: Fluttershy.Fluttershy is an excellent animal carer and easily completes the road block in no time at all.

Freddy and Jason: Jason

Jason piles the straw with no prolem at all swinging the pitch fork like he has used it before. and being the joker that he is, Jason pikes Freddy in the butt with it. This starts a bit of a fight between the two but wanting to beat the wizards they make up quickly and run off to the detour.

Hermione and Luna: Hermione.Hermione has an unsteady start but Luna keeps shouting encouragement and telling her to swing it like a bludger is heading her way and she gets into the groove piling the hay and filling the trough.

Leonard and Sheldon: Sheldon. Sheldon is terrified of camels. 'Leonard, I think it wants to eat me.' He keeps spilling the hay because his hands are shaking.Leonard: "Move faster Sheldon!" Sheldon: "Leonard that is a wild animal. Wild animals hate sudden movements. You'd never survive in the Savannah in Africa" Leonard" It's a camel. It can't hurt you." Sheldon" Leonard, it's spitting at me, Leonard it's spitting at me." Leonard"So spit back."

Frodo and Sam: Sam is doing the roadblock. Master Frodo, let me show you how we shoveled back in the shire. Frodo:'Sam I know this, you were my gardener remember?" Sam"Right, and I learned how to dig...." Frodo" Sam, this is no time for dreaming about gold digging, let's go."

The teams move onto the DETOUR. This detour is Movers or Shakers. In MOVERs teams must teams head to the Sanganeri Gate, choose two rickshaws loaded with barrels of hay and transport them 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the Zorawar Singh Gate. When they reach the Zorawar Singh Gate, they have to search through the hay for a metal elephant charm which they could then trade for their next clue.

In Shakers teams should go to a junction (called Badi Chopar, intersection of Johari Bazar, Tripoli Bazar, Ramganz Bazar and Sireh Deori Bazar Roads) and dress in traditional costumes and join a local dance troupe to collect 100 (around US$2) worth of tips. They then give the money they earned to the band leader to receive their next clue.

Teams doing MOVERS:

* Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash

* Chewbacca and Han Solo

*Gandalf and Saruman

*Leonard and Sheldon

Teams doing SHAKERS:

*Ernie and Bert

*Frodo and Sam

*Freddy and Jason

*Hermione and Luna

*Freddy and Jason miraciously reach a U-turn first and they u-turn their former alliance members the wizards. That's one way to stab someone in the back.

MOVERS

Highlights:

*Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash spring into the lead and they kick over the barrels at the gate, and stealthily use hoof and snout to go through quickly and find the elephant charm and are off to the pit stop.

* Chewy and Han do really well at the movers detour and Chewy barrels his way through the hay to find the charm.

Middlelight:

*The wizards do okay and are 3rd to leave the detour.

Lowlights:

* Leonard and Sheldon struggle because the only exercise they really get is playing World of Warcraft.

Quotes

Chewy: (Mwroorrrrrrr mwrorrrr mwrorrrr mwrorrrr) (translation: I like to move it, move it!)

Han: Man if you're going to be singing Chewy, we should've done the other detour.

Leonard: Come on Sheldon. Didn't you ever look for the prize in the cereal box when you were a kid?'

Sheldon: I wasn't allowed to eat that cereal. Mine was all wholegrain and organic.

Rainbow Dash: Eat our sparkly dust, wizards.

Gandalf and Saruman get to the U-turn 'Galloping gollums, Freddy and Jason U-turned us!'

They have to go to the other detour which sets them back again.

SHAKERS

Highlights:

*Bert and Ernie. Every time Bert tries to put on his costume Ernie tells him he isn't Bert, he's not the real Bert and that he is going to call the MBB.

*Frodo and Sam do extremely well because they have the cute factor. They have to help Bert put his costume on and off as Ernie refuses to believe that he is truly Bert.

*Hermione and Luna do really well, as well as receiving their $2 they receive a number of marriage proposals.

Lowlights:

*Freddy and Jason manage to extort $2 from frightened onlookers.

* The wizards are terrible at dancing and keep tripping over their pointy shoes, so everybody keeps laughing at them. The wizards steal Freddy and Jason's clothes so they have to go to the pit stop in the dance costumes.

Quotes:

Ernie: In fact you're not Bert. Quick call the Missing Bert Bureau!

Ernie: Quick, shake it like you've got pigeons in your pants.

Bert: Ernie, there is a pigeon in my pants

Ernie: I know Bert, I put them, I thought it would help you shake better.

Hermione: This is fun, check us out in the next Weird Witches video!

Freddy: Jason, dance better, you're killing it.

Jason: Me, what about you. (Jason gives him the hip bump)

PIT STOP

* Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash in a cloud of sparkling dust blaze into the pit stop. 'Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, you're team Number #1! As the winners of this leg of the race you've won a lifetime supply of mane and tail shampoo (That will be good for Rarity, says Rainbow Dash) and $5000 from the makers of the Tetris game.

*Chewy and Han arrive and both of them are singing "i like to move it, move it. except Chewy sounds like mwrorrr urghrrr rnrnnh" "Chewy and Han, you're team #2!"

*Ernie and Bert fly straight as a pigeon into 3rd. "Ernie and Bert, you're team #3!" Bert is surprised because he thought the Missing Bert Bureau stuff held them up.

*Frodo and Sam come into 4th but they tell Adam they are happy to be 4th and wait because they want to see where the wizards come in.

* Hermione and Luna arrive. 'Hermione and Luna, you're team #5"

*Leonard and Sheldon having finally found their elephant charm and being motivated by running behind Hermione and Luna arrive into 6th place.

*Gandalf and Saruman into 7th "Gandalf and Saruman says Adam you are team #7 however, you receive a 30 minute penalty for stealing Freddy and Jason's clothes and you will need to wait that out before checking in." The wizards taunt and tease Adam.

"Ooh boo hoo my name's Adam' says Saruman, 'let's all play tetris with my head."

"Ohh and look at my jaw," says Gandalf "It's almost a perfect square."

That startles Frodo and he asks Adam "Will you marry me?' to which Sam gasps in shock.

"I cannot marry you...because my jaw is a perfect square. '

As Adam gives them the penalty, they turn his head into tetris the video game.

Freddy and Jason come in. Adam tells the team they are the last team to arrive by flashing the words across his game screen face. The next thing that comes along the game screen face is "You look ridiculous." Freddy and Jason put out all their knives. Then on the screen comes the words in big red letters "But because Gandalf and Saruman received a 30 minute penalty plus a 4 hour one for turning my head into this stupid screen, you are still in the race!" They high five each other but they have knives in their hands so they stab each other. Hermione is kind enough to turn Adam's head back but not before playing a game of Tetris first.

Adam asks Gandalf and Saruman to come to the mat and tells them they are the last team to arrive and are therefore eliminated from the race.

Episode #5 Recap

In this leg's Detour there is a choice between Russian Bride or Russian Snowplow. In Russian Bride, using Lada cars, teams took themselves to a Soviet-era apartment - apartment building 4 in Komsomolskaya Street, fetched one Russian bride and brought her to the Voznesensky Cathedral, where her groom was waiting. Once the team had a picture taken with the couple, the groom handed the team their next clue. In Russian Snowplow, with their Lada cars, teams headed to Stadium Spartak, where each team member took turns driving a snowplow through a marked lane while directed by their partner.

Teams doing RUSSIAN BRIDE:

Batman and Robin

Bert and Ernie

Chewbacca and Han

Frodo and Sam

Leonard and Sheldon

Teams doing RUSSIAN SNOWPLOW:

Barney and Homer

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash

Freddy and Jason

Gandalf and Saruman

Hermione and Luna

Highlights of the Russian Bride

*Leonard and Sheldon pop the hood of the Lada and soup it up so it's super fast. Leonard draws on his knowledge of the russian language that he learned from his chess code

*Bert and Ernie and Frodo and Sam are super excited to get their brides to the cathedral. They sing Going to the Chapel all the way there.

Lowlights of the Russian Bride

*On the way to the cathedral Batman and Robin are pulled over by KGB agents and questioned about their funny costumes or lack of clothing.

Quotes

Chewbacca: Mwrorrrrr urghrrr rnnnhhhh rrughhh urrghhhh rnnnhh (translation: I once ordered a mail order bride but I sent her back when she was hairier than I was. )

Hans Solo: How do you think I met you?

Ernie: Hey Bert, she's pretty Bert. But not as pretty as you, Bert.

Robin: Spiralling Sputniks, Batman, I think we're being pulled over by the KGB!

RUSSIAN SNOWPLOW

Highlights of the snowplow task:

*Hermione and Luna engage in a battle of bumperplow with the wizards but Hermione is better at magic so she thwarts the wizards' sabotage plan which makes the wizards very cross.

*Homer and Barney have excellent skills from running their own snowplow businesses.

*The ponies come in behind Homer and Barney because their plow had two extra horsepower.

Lowlights of the snowplow task:

*Jason accidentally runs over Freddy while he's manuvering the course and all that can be heard from under the snowplow is "Freddy's down!" .

Quotes

Fluttershy "1 horse power, 2 horse power."

Gandalf "Now that's what I call a hit and run" Saruman "Now Freddy's a hit. "

Homer" Mr Plow! Now that's my name! That name again is Mr Plow! He gets up and stands on his snowplow and yells "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!"

In this leg's Roadblock, one team member has to choose two Russian marathon runners who will help them warm up, before he or she stripped down to his or her underwear to run a 1.4-mile (2.3 km) course toward the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre, where their partner, who was transported there separately, will join them in heading to the Pit Stop.

Team members doing the roadblock:

Leonard and Sheldon: They argue over who is going to do the roadblock then they decide that Sheldon will do the roadblock. So he strips down to a pair of tighty whities that have the day of the week on them and RACE LEG 5.

Bert and Ernie: It's Bert's turn ."ERNIE! All these people will see me. " "You'll be fine, Bert. Just think of how good you look in tights, Bert. " Bert strips down to a pair of Alphabet Blockhead boxers.

Chewbacca and Han Solo: Han agrees to do it. Han Solo strips down to a purple g-string and Chewy just rolls his eyes. All the cameras immediately blur Han Solo out.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash: Fluttershy does it. Fluttershy takes off her saddle to reveal some fancy underwear made by Rarity and sings "The Art of the Undress"

Freddy and Jason: Freddy does it. Freddy strips down to a pair of boxers that match his red and green sweater.

Frodo and Sam: Frodo does it. While he runs he yells "I wish the ring had never come to me, I wish none of this had happened" Frodo falls over near the ballet theatre.

Gandalf and Saruman: Saruman does it. His underwear has orcs and the eye of Sauron all over it. Most of the other teams cover their eyes, allowing the wizards to get ahead.

Hermione and Luna: Luna is up. The crowd goes wild as Luna strips down to a pair of Victoria's Secret underwear. As she runs Gandalf sings "Loony Loony Lovegood" and "Oh Potter, you rotter, what have you done, you're killing the students, you think it's good fun"

Batman and Robin: Robin decides to do it since all he has to do is take off his shirt and cape and he's good to go.

Barney and Homer: Homer is up. He is puffed after running for 1 minute. He is wearing Mr Plow boxers.

PIT STOP

Waiting at the pit stop with Adam is Frank.N.Furter from the Rocky Horror Picture Show who was so inspired by the time warp last week that he wants to do it again.

Leonard and Sheldon make it to the pit stop in the ballet theatre. "Leonard and Sheldon, you're Team Number ONE! As the winners of this leg of the race, you've won a snow cone machine and a case of russian vodka!" Sheldon gives Leonard a hug. Leonard says "Sheldon I'm not used to these pdas!" To which Sheldon replies " I'm just trying to avoid hypothermia. Now warm my core!!!"

With thunder and hooves, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, gallop into second. "Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash you're Team Number 2!"

Gandalf and Saruman come in. "Gandalf and Saruman, you're Team #3!"

Bert and Ernie pirouette into 4th place. "Hey Ernie, all this fresh air is invirogorating!"

Frodo and Sam. Sam helps Frodo up from where he fell down and says "I can't carry the ring,Mr Frodo but I can carry you!" He lifts Frodo up and puts him down gently at the pit stop. "Frodo and Sam, you're Team #5!"

Freddy and Jason run to the checkin mat, Freddy still sporting the tread marks from the snow plow on his body. "Freddy and Jason, you're Team #6!"

Han Solo and Chewy fell behind because Han lost a shoe on the run to the pit stop, making for some frightening camera work as he bent down to retrieve it. Frank.N.Furter says "Looking good, " to Han Solo. "Han and Chewy, you're Team #7! Now put some clothes on," says Adam.

Hermione and Luna come to the pit stop, terrified that they are one of the last teams to arrive. They brace themselves for an elimination. "Hermione and Luna, you are Team #8!" They are both silent, shocked until Adam says "You are still in the race!"

Barney and Homer took their own pit stop on the way to the pit stop and were detained by the Moscow police for peeing in public. They go to the pit stop and Adam tells them "Barney and Homer, you are Team #9 I am sorry to tell you, you have both been eliminated from the race."

Batman and Robin: Batman and Robin got detoured, thinking they saw the Bat signal in the sky but it turned out to be the neon lights of the Moscow McDonalds. They arrive at the pit stop. "Batman and Robin, " says Adam "You are the last team to arrive. I am sorry to tell you you have both been eliminated from the race."

Elimination Station: Daphnne and Velma arrive

Jeremy Kyle and Oprah, Luke and Leia and Rachel and Ross are waiting for the next team to arrive. Luke and Leia and Rachel and Ross have been under an extensive interviewing process while Ross is still whining about how much it sucks to be a hoover. They wait to see who the next team will be and are surprised when Daphnne and Velma show up.

"Was it the wizards?" says Ross.

Daphnne explains the sticky situation they were in and how they got weaseled by the wizards. They go on to explain that almost all the teams have been sabotaged by the wizards and received no penalty. To which Oprah and Jeremy Kyle look at each other, wink and say "ratings week". Leia says to Daphnne "Girlfriend, in spite of everything, that is one fine hairdo you have. And I'm Princess Leia and I know fine hairdos".

Jeremy Kyle wants Freddy and Jason to win as he thinks they still have the edge. Oprah is still cheering for her bookclub fans Ernie and Bert. Rachel and Ross are cheering for the ponies since friendship is magic. Luke and Leia hope that the force will remain with Han and Chewy and that Chewy will not eat anymore cheese. Daphnne and Velma hope that the teams who helped them with the detour will stay in the race and beat those weaselly wizards.

All teams agree that the wizards should be eliminated next for extreme amounts of sabotage.

Daphnne and Velma bust out the scooby snacks and share them with the others.

Episode #3 Recap

Teams head to Romania. They head to their first roadblock. In this roadblock, teams must perform a series of moves for 3 gymnastics disciplines. The balance beam, parallel bars and floor exercises before receiving their next clue.

The teams who will do this roadblock.

Chewbacca: "Mwrorrr urghrrr rnnnnhhhhh rurgrrrr rrrnnnhh"(translation: I'm not wearing that girl's leotard" ) to which Han replies "better you than me." Chewbacca puts the leotard on and starts strutting. To which Han says "First you don't want to put it on. Now you're John Travolta. Get on the balance beam you big furball. This is the amazing race not America's Next top model. Or the next top wookie model."

Luna: Luna does a really unique performance, waving her arms and flapping and spinning but then Hermione realised she was just trying to get rid of the wrackspurts.

Robin: Robin takes to the floor losing no time because he's already wearing leotard-like attire.

Bert : Ernie annoys Bert by saying "Hey Bert, you look cute in that leotard, Bert." Bert gives a solid performance.

Freddy: Freddy does well until he gets to the floor exercises. Freddy attempts a one handed cartwheel but the knife blades on his glove cut through the mat and stick into the wooden floor. It takes Jason a good 5 or 10 minutes to pull him free.

Fluttershy: Fluttershy tackles the roadblock like a professional showjump horse, leaping over the balance beam, and the parallel bars. But stumbles at the end getting her hoof caught in the torn matting from Freddy's glove.

Both Freddy and Fluttershy have to redo the roadblock. While Freddy is performing, Jason eliminates one of the judges luring him away with a piece of cherry pie from the last detour. Freddy and Fluttershy get it right the second time and does a one handed cartwheel with his other hand.

Sheldon: He stands on the balance beam. "Hey Leonard, I can see some dandruff in your hair from up here." He then calculates every angle of every task.

Velma: "Let's get jinky with it!" She looks funky in her leotard. And she busts out some wicked Bring it on Cheerleading moves.

Frodo: He needs a lift to get up to the parallel bars. So Sam gives him a boost but with a little too much force sending him flying over the equipment. He hits his head hard and doesn't know who Sam is. Sam says "It's me, Mr Frodo. It's your Sam." He comes to and climbs up the parallel bars from the side and finishes the event.

Gandalf: While doing a handstand move on the parallel bars, Gandalf's robe falls around his head causing Saruman to giggle and point like a little schoolgirl and say "I can see your underwear."

Leia: Leia looks smoking in a extra shiny gold leotard. Luke says "Do it Leia!" to which Leia says "I'll try." In Yoda's voice, Luke says "Do or do not do, there is no try."

Homer: Barney and Homer got held up because they discovered the beer tent. Homer does the roadblock. A slightly wobbly Homer steps up onto the balance beam where he accidentally kicks over a can of beer that Barney left thinking it was a bar rail. Homer slides along the wet balance beam launching himself off the one end and catching the parallel bars. He does a triple flip landing in a belly flop on the mat, causing all the russian judges to hold up scorecards with a Perfect 10.

Now the teams are off to the detour. GYPSY MOVES or VAMPIRE REMAINS. In Gypsy Moves, teams have to help a family of gypsies move from one camp to another by loading their belongings on a traditional horse-drawn cart and unloading them at another location.

In Vampire Remains, teams have to drag a chained coffin to a field of stakes on the land of Bran Castle. Once there, they had to undo the chains of the coffin to find several antique frames which they then had to smash against stakes (i.e., impale, a reference to Vlad the Impaler) until they found one containing a flag that they could trade for their next clue.

Chewy/Han: GYPSY MOVES

Hermione/Luna: GYPSY MOVES

Batman/Robin: VAMPIRE REMAINS

Bert/Ernie: GYPSY MOVES

Freddy/Jason: VAMPIRE REMAINS
Fluttershy/Rainbow Dash: GYPSY MOVES

Sheldon/Leonard: GYPSY MOVES

Daphnne/Velma: VAMPIRE REMAINS

Frodo/Sam: GYPSY MOVES

Gandalf/Saruman: VAMPIRE REMAINS

Luke/Leia: VAMPIRE REMAINS
Homer/Barney: VAMPIRE REMAINS

Highlights of the GYPSY MOVES:

* Bert is very good at organizing the cart but they fall a little behind because Ernie spooks the horses with his rubber ducky.

*Leonard and Sheldon do the best because they treat it like a game of Tetris, with precision.

*Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash get exercise because they decide to pull the cart themselves.

Lowlights of the GYPSY MOVES:

*Frodo accidentally falls into a trunk and Sam locks him in. Then says "Mr Frodo? Mr Frodo? Damn I need those detectives to solve the mystery of the missing Frodo. " He eventually hears banging on the trunk and opens it to find Frodo.

*Chewbacca and Han fall behind because Chewy packed Han's hat.

QUOTES FROM GYPSY MOVES:

"Man, "says Hermione, "this is just like packing for Hogwarts."

"Hey Rubber Ducky, say Hello to these cute little horsies." says Ernie.

"Mwrorrrrr urghrrr rnnnnh " "Yeah I know I've got hat hair, that's why we have to find it." "mwrorrrr urghrrr rnnnnnnnh rrrrrrr" (Translated as: What are you worried about, Daphnne has enough hair product for all of us."

VAMPIRE REMAINS DETOUR

Highlights of the Vampire Remains Detour:

*Freddy and Jason have no problem looking like they have dragged a coffin once or twice before.

*Freddy and Jason excel at impaling the frames. They look like they have had a lot of practice.

*Daphnne and Velma struggle at first to move the coffin but then Velma produces a handful of Scooby snacks and they pull it all the way to the finish where they impale the frames.

Lowlights of the Vampire Remains Detour:

* Homer accidentally backs into one of the stakes poking himself in the butt.

* While Batman and Robin are smashing the frames, Saruman sneaks up on them and closes the coffin lid, catching Batman's cape, holding them up for a few extra minutes.

*At the mention of steaks, the food kind, Gandalf and Saruman get hungry so they steal some of Daphnne and Velma's scooby snacks.

*Gandalf and Saruman put a cheese wheel from the first leg of the race in Luke and Leia's coffin. When Luke and Leia try to lift it, but they can't do it very well and have to go very slowly.

Quotes:

" Man I thought there were going to be steaks here, not wooden sticks. I brought my HP sauce and everything." says Barney "DOH" says Homer.

Luke"Leaping Lightsabers Leia, what's this cheese wheel doing in the coffin?"

Robin" Those wizards are pulling a caper on us, Batman!"

Daphnne " Zowie Wowie Velma, this reminds me of the case of the coughing coffin!"

THE PIT STOP

Sheldon and Leonard engage in a foot race with Homer and Barney. Barney stops to pick up his steak that he got on the way and Sheldon and Leonard reach the mat first. "Sheldon and Leonard you're team #1!" to which Sheldon replies "Wow Adam, did you see our good man Leonard here run? He was like a little jackrabbit. Leonard, I didn't think you had it in you." Adam tells them that as the winners they have won for their excellent speed and packing abilities, Tetris for the PS2 and some luggage AND a ticket to Equestria where the my little ponies live.

Nobody is more surprised than Homer and Barney when they come to the pit stop and are told by Adam they're in 2nd place. Adam compliments Homer on his perfect 10 in gymnastics. Barney says "What?We're still in the race?Let's celebrate " He and Homer have another beer to go with their steak.

Freddy and Jason arrive at the pit stop in 3rd place. When the producers asked Adam what he thought of this team he told them "Oh they're a scream."

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash show jump their way into 4th place. "Yay!"

Chewbacca and Han come into 5th place. Chewy says "Mwrorrr Urghrrr Rnnnhhhh rnnnnh urghrrrr rnnnh " (translation: Next time keep your hat on your head unless you want to show off that wicket hat hair") Chewy grabs Han's hat and runs off the mat.

Ernie and Bert arrive in 6th place. "Hey Bert, hey Bert we made it."

Hermione and Luna packed their way to Hogwarts and apparate into 7th place. They high five each other and say "Now that's how you pack, sister!"

Frodo and Sam and Gandalf and Saruman also have a foot race. But the wizards grab the hobbits and leap frog their way over the top of them , into 8th place. "However,"says Adam "You sabotaged three other teams. You have incurred a 30 minute penalty which you will have to wait out until I can check you in." The wizards debate turning into a frog, a fruit basket or a pogo stick, but decide not to in case they incur a further penalty for sabotaging the host.

Frodo and Sam are excited to be Team #8. They set off a dragon firework that flies around the elimination mat and ends up lighting the wizard's robes on fire to which all the other teams laugh and clap, except Freddy and Jason. Gandalf grabs a fire extinguisher and puts out Saruman while they wait out their 30 minute penalty.

Daphnne and Velma run into 9th place sweating like crazy but with their hair still looking perfect from Daphnne's gel.

"Gandalf and Saruman,"says Adam "You can now check in." And they check into 10th place and skip off the mat.

Batman and Robin got held up because they had to get Batman's cape fixed. "Batman and Robin"says Adam "I am sorry to tell you....you are team #11!" "Walloping Wizards, Batman, we're still in the race!"

A dejected Luke and Leia make their way to the checkin mat knowing that they are in last place. "Luke and Leia," says Adam "You are the last team to arrive. We're terribly sorry the force wasn't with you this time. But as a consolation prize, here is some penne all'arribiata courtesy of Mr Stevens from the Death Star Canteen. "

Elimination Interview with Ross and Rachel

We're here with Ross and Rachel whose hoover encounter cost them the race.

How do you feel about being eliminated?

Ross: Well it could've been worse, we could've been eliminated by Freddy and Jason.

How much time did the pogo stick situation cost you?

Rachel: It cost us about 15 minutes and that was just enough time for the wizards to push us out of the race.

How do you feel about what Gandalf and Saruman did?

Rachel: Obviously, we're not happy, well duh, they cost us the race.

Ross: It's lousy my back hurts from all the pogo hopping we did, Rachel, you really need to lose some weight.

Rachel: Ross!(smack)

**Stay tuned as Rachel and Ross go to the villa.

Amazing Race Contest Episode 2 Recap

Teams are headed to Munich, Germany. Once they get there they must drive themselves to the village of Ruhpolding and ride in a cable car to the top of the mountain. Once there, they will receive their next clue.

Because Hermione and Luna came in first, they are first to depart. The rest of the tea

ms will follow in the order they arrived. They are all off to the airport. While in the car the teams use mobile phones to call up the airlines. Somehow, Freddy and Jason call Chewbacca and Han Solo so Han pretends to be an airline travel person. Luckily for them, Freddy and Jason think that it was a mistake on their part so the Wookie is safe: that was a close shave.

Teams get on flights and are on their way. They make their way to Ruhpolding and find their next clue.

This is the team's first ROADBLOCK. Who is ready to fly like an eagle? In this roadblock teams must paraglide with an instructor. The jump is more than 6,000 feet. Their partner must take the gondola back down the mountain and wait. If it's unsafe teams have the option of running do

The teams decide among themselves who will go for the roadblock.wn the hill.

Daphnne: Fred! Save me! Save me and my hair!

Ernie:Hey Bert watch me fly. Watch me fly, Bert.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bert you should try this too Bert it's fun!

Freddy: Jason slices some holes in Freddy's paraglider so that he plummets to the bottom of the hill gaining some extra time for Freddy and Jason.

Han Solo: I wish I had my millenium falcon here. Where's the warp speed button on this baby?

Luke: Hey Leia, if I can fly an X-wing fighter through a tiny hole in the Death Star Canteen this should be a piece of cake.

Homer:Homer paraglides through the drive-thru of a donut shop. Mmmmm Donuts, mmmmm. He flies over Bert with the donut box and a donut falls on Bert's head. Ernie comes up to Bert. "Hey Bert, I like your new hat, Bert."

"Ernie! Get this thing off me!"

"Sure thing Bert." And proceeds to eat the donut off the top of Bert's head "Mmmm that was delicious. Got any more?"

"ERNIE!"

Bert puts Ernie in a chokehold, prompting Freddy and Jason to say to one another "Guess we'll be seeing them on the next Jeremy Kyle show."

Hermione: Hermione says that this is just as easy as flying a broom.

Fluttershy: Fluttershy flies. She tries to rescue all the birds she sees on her way down.

Frodo: "Oh, Sam, hobbits should always have their feet on the ground not the air...ARRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" "Wow,"says Sam, "I didn't know Frodo could scream like a little girl."

Saruman: "FOR NARNIAAAAAAAAAAAAA AND FOR ASLANNNNNNNNNNN.....Oh wait wrong movie." Gandalf says"Oh fool of a wizard. Why don't you rid me of your stupidity?"

Sheldon: "Leonard and Penny, Leonard and Penny, Leonard and Pennnny.......hmmm...now that I've calculated the precise wind speed and nose tilt angle this is actually kind of liberating. "

Ross: "Rachel I'm scared! I'm scared!" Rachel acts all sexy "Come on you big boy,"she says kissing him on the cheek. He jumps off.

Robin: Batman says to Robin "Remember everything I taught you about flying the bat jet!!!" Robin leaps off yelling "But I only have my learner's permit!"

Placing of the Teams:

Han Solo and Chewy are in 1st: They found a warp drive button and pulled into second place.

Freddy and Jason are in 2nd. Freddy gets mad after a quick descent to the bottom. He yells at Jason. And says that doesn't Jason remember what they learned on the Jeremy Kyle show. Jason yells back that he was just trying to give them a competitive edge.

Daphnne and Velma are currently in 3rd because Daphnne had to stop to fix her hair.

Barney and Homer: Barney and Homer are in 4th due to running on Donut Power.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash: They are in 5th and now have lots of bird fr

iends.

Ernie and Bert: They fall to 6th place due to the donut dilemma.

Sheldon and Leonard: Sheldon calculated such a perfect angle and demonstrated a perfect landing allowing him and Leonard to make 7th place.

Luke and Leia: He tried to fly his glider into a tiny hole in the Death Star's Canteen so he could get some Penne All'Arriabiata and he fell to 8th place.

Hermione and Luna: They fell to 9th place. All Hermione had to say about that was oopsie, maybe it's not flying a broom after all.

Frodo and Sam: After being blown off course by 100 metres, Frodo and Sam bring up 10th place.

Batman and Robin: Robin screams "Batman we never covered parking" and promptly crashed the glider. Batman should've remembered that the last time he tried to teach Robin to drive he had to take the Batmobile to the repair shop. They are Team #11

Gandalf and Saruman: They come in 12th because Ross accidentally cut them off causing them to crash and Saruman turned Ross into a

pogo stick so Rachel rides the pogo stick to the detour where she convinces Gandalf to change him back.

Rachel and Ross: Are in 13th place. See above.

Teams now have to drive themselves to Schonau Am Konigsee. Once there they will have their first DETOUR. In this detour teams have the choice between BALANCING DOLLY or AUSTRIAN FOLLY. In Balancing Dolly teams must ride a Segway along a 2 mile obstacle course. At the end of the course they'll receive their next clue. In Austrian Folly teams

must go into a party tent and throw pies at a target. What they don't know is

The teams choose their detours.that the target is their partner's face. They must take turns smacking each other in the face until they find a pie with a cherry centre. The band leader will give them their next clue.

Chewy and Han Solo: They choose the pies because Chewy is hungry. He hopes it's an eating contest.

Daphnne and Velma: They choose the segways.

Luke and Leia: They choose the segways.

Barney and Homer: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm pies.

Ernie and Bert: Due to their biker gang, they choose the segways.

Hermione and Luna: They choose the segways

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash: They choose the pies.

Freddy and Jason: They choose the pies.

Frodo and Sam: They choose the segways

Gandalf and Saruman: They choose the pies.

Leonard and Sheldon: They choose the pies due to Sheldon's terrible video game driving skills.

Ross and Rachel: They head to the pies after the wizards.

Batman and Robin: They do the segways.

BALANCING DOLLY(SEGWAYS)

HIGHLIGHTS

* Ernie and Bert admit that they are part of a renegade biker gang in Sesame Street, cruising the sesame streets. They tell others that the gang is the Alphabet Blockheads. They do wheelies on their segways.

LOWLIGHTS

*Robin crashes causing Batman to ask him "where did you get your licence? Out of a cereal box?" Robin promptly says "You should know you gave it to me."

*Frodo and Sam stand on each others shoulders and keep falling down. This prompts Sam to argue with Frodo to which Frodo replies "Don't get short with me!"

QUOTES

Luke and Leia "I wonder how Han is doing at the pie contest.I hope Chewy hasn't eaten all the pies."

Hermione"Nice segway."

....

And now the pie contest.

AUSTRIAN FOLLY

*Highlights

*Barney and Homer do exceptionally well at the pie challenge. Homer catches the pies in his mouth then opens his mouth to show Barney "Seefood" "Mmmmmm Seefood"

*In a genius move, Freddy and Jason replace the knife blades in Freddy's glove, with pie lifters, giving them a competitive edge.

*Lowlights

Chewbacca has cheesed off Freddy and Jason. Freddy and Jason are mad because they've been running down wind from Chewbacca who is still feeling the effect of being lactose-intolerant and eating all that cheese. To get back at Chewy Freddy and Jason give him a haircut: a reverse mohawk. When Chewy complains they say they took lessons from their good friend Sweeney Todd. Han Solo says to Chewy "Well you know what they say, they're a cut above us. Let's get back in the race."

*The ponies get tangled up and get pie stuck in their hooves and end up sliding around the detour with pie tins stuck on their feet.

*Gandalf and Saruman and Rachel and Ross get held up as Rachel tries to convince them to turn Ross back to his human form instead of a pogo stick form.

Quotes

Leonard"Sheldon! Where's my lactase?"

Sheldon"Leonard I have observed that you can tolerate small amounts of nonfat ice cream without producing a noxious gas.So eat the dang pie"

Leonard"I don't want to end up like that furry fart machine.

The teams then go to a woodcutters and get a piece of wood stamped with their next clue.

Once teams have their clue they can proceed to the Schloss Hellbrunn which is the pit stop on this leg of the race. The last team to check in here may be eliminated.

Teams get their wood and head to the pit stop. At the pit stop a woman named Yvonne is standing there near Adam wearing a t-shirt with the words Jeremy Kyle superfan across it and holding a sign saying "Bring back Jeremy Kyle" and she offers to race with him in place of Oprah.

PIT STOP

Chewy's new haircut has made him more aero-dynamic, shaving minutes off their time, allowing them to come in 1st to the pit stop.

Han Solo says "Does anyone know where I can get a wookie steam-clean? This guy has cherry pie filling and cheese stuck in his fur?"

Chewy"Mwrorrrrrr"

"Well,"says Adam "As the winners of this leg of the race, you've won complimentary dry-cleaning services from the ABC Cleaning Company!And a one year supply of cherry pie. "

A footrace occurs between Ernie and Bert and Freddy and Jason. To try and slow Ernie and Bert down, Freddy hits Bert in the back of the head with a pie but it doesn't work and Ernie and Bert segway into second.

"Ernie!"says Bert "Get this thing off me."

"Hey Bert,"says Ernie "I like your berry Beret Bert."

"Ernie get this thing off me."

"Sure thing Bert."

Nyom Nyom Nyom.

"ERNIE!"

Ernie says to Han and Chewy "Can we get Bert's head steam cleaned?Because he's starting to smell like a wookie."

"ERNIE!!!!Don't let a pie hit me!"

Freddy and Jason slide into 3rd place. Adam stands surrounded by bodyguards. Adam says "How do you feel about being third?"

"We'd kill for second or first,"says Jason.

Homer and Barney bellyflop into 4th place. Adam asks how they did and they say it was a piece of cake, or a piece of pie.

Hermione and Luna magic their way into 5th place.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash come in 6th place, looking a little pie-eyed.

Leonard and Sheldon make their way to the pit stop. Adam says "Sheldon and Leonard you're team number #7!"

"See,"says Sheldon "You were okay after those pies. You haven't yet produced a noxious gas."

Leonard answers his comment by saying "Sheldon I've been clenching all the way. I can't hold it anymore!" and with that he does a huge fart. Sheldon faints and Adam and Leonard pull Sheldon off the mat and Han Solo says "Man and I thought the wookie was bad."

In a dynamic duel for 8th and 9th place, the hobbits bunnyhopped the blundering Batman and the Boy Wonder who crashed and rolled into 8th place. Adam asks them how they feel about coming in higher than they did last week. To which Sam replies "Well we got a bit short with each other but we're good now." The hobbits dance off the the elimination mat.

After a rough ride, where Robin knocked over all the local's letterboxes, a ruffled Batman and Robin secure 9th place. Adam asks them what went wrong on this leg of the race. Robin says "Batman, I think I need more practice in the Batmobile" to which Batman says "No way" and walks off mad. "Hey Bert," says Ernie "Do you think they'll end up on the Jeremy Kyle show?"

Daphnne and Velma got sidetracked on their segways by some mysterious reason but still managed to come in 10th. "Jinkies,"says Velma.

Luke and Leia come in 11th place. "Looks like the force has saved you yet again,"says Adam. "Lucky Lightsabers Leia,"says Luke, "We did it again." They high five each other and walk off the mat.

Gandalf and Saruman got held up by the pogo stick situation with Rachel and Ross, as they try to find the right spell to change Ross back. Ross was turned into one or two different things until they finally got it right. They cast a spell to get to the pit stop faster and received a 15 minute penalty for excessive use of magic. "We're wizards,"says Gandalf, "What else are we supposed to do?" But they still claim 12th place.

After several transformations including a pogo stick, a rubber ducky(courtesy of Ernie), a fruit basket and a hoover, a dishevelled Ross and Rachel walk to the pit stop. Ross lost his shoes and had to walk barefoot. Adam says "Ross and Rachel, you are the last team to arrive. I am sorry to tell you you have both been eliminated from the race. How do you feel?" A teary, whimpering Ross says "My feet are killing me and it really sucks to be a hoover!" To which Rachel puts her arm around Ross and says "Well Ross, you're still a great friend. "

Adam gets on his segway and is joined by Bert and Ernie the leaders of the Alphabet Blockheads, as they segway off into the sunset they unroll a banner behind them that says "This episode of the Amazing Race was brought to you by the letters F and U and by the number 2. " The three turn around and wink at the producers.

Commerical and Introduction

Here is the Introduction

And the commercial

Make sure you check them both out for the contestants.

Episode #1 Recap

All the teams line up.

Adam the host: Welcome everyone. In just a few minutes our teams will leave on a race around the world. There is a clue waiting on your bags. When I give the word you can run over to your bags and open the clue. Read the clue and jump into one of the parked cars. Our teams will be racing for 1 million dollars. Is everybody ready? No? The world is waiting for you although I don't know if they're ready for you. GO!

Freddy and Jason are first to the clue. After a fight to get the clue Freddy slices it open. They're off to Zocano, Switzerland. Barney falls over drunk and knocks Homer into the bags. Homer opens the clue. Jeremy Kyle and Oprah interview their bag on the whereabouts of their missing clue. Velma and Daphnne solve the mystery and give Jeremy Kyle and Oprah the clue. Ernie and Bert are lagging behind as Ernie has lost his rubber ducky.

Eventually the teams get to the airport. Freddy and Jason get held up by the metal detectors but they manage to get through.

On the first flight departing, teams are:

Ernie and Bert

Freddy and Jason

Jeremy Kyle and Oprah

Daphnne and Velma

Homer and Barney

Chewbacca and Han Solo

Fluttershy and Rainbo

w Dash

On the second flight teams are:

Luke and Leia

Rachel and Ross

Batman and Robin

Gandalf and Saruman

Frodo and Sam

Hermione and Luna

Sheldon and Leonard

When the first flight lands teams are off on the train to Zurich.

When the second flight lands teams will catch their train in Milan.

At the train station in Milan, Rachel and Ross miss their train because Ross is whining about carrying all the luggage. Rachel tells him to shut up and hands him another piece of luggage to carry. They have to wait for the next train.

The first train is in Switzerland now.

When teams make it to Locarno they get a clue which tells them to go to the Church of San Antonio where they will sign a registrar and get a message from the priest.

The first team to make it to the registrar is Chewbacca and Han Solo and they sign in for the 7:15 am train. Ernie and Bert are next on the 7.15 am train followed by Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash and Daphnne and Velma.

The first team to sign in for the 7:30 am train is Jeremy Kyle and Oprah. Freddy and Jason and Homer and Barney sign up.

Meanwhile the other train has only just arrived. Sheldon and Leonard get the last seats on the 7.30 am train.

On the last train leaving at 7:45 is everybody else.

Teams get a picture and they're off to the Versazca Dam. They're off in their taxis.

Now it's time for the ROADBLOCK: Who has nerves of steel?

Chewbacca and Han Solo open the clue. To complete this roadblock one team member must do a death defying 70,000 foot bungee jump.

The team members performing the roadblock are:

Chewbacca : Han Solo pushes Chewbacca into doing it. Come on you big furball. As Chewy jumps all you can hear is the echo of MWRORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Ernie: Ernie volunteers to do it. Before Ernie jumps he hands Bert the rubber ducky then leaps off saying WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Bert you should try it this is fun.

Rainbow Dash: Rainbow Dash just leaps off. She has no fear of heights.

Velma: Daphnne and Velma are scared. Zoinks. After a quick game of rock, paper, scissors Velma says Jinkies I guess I'll go. She leaps off with her eyes closed.

The teams on the 7:30 train have arrived now and they're deciding who will do the roadblock.

Barney: They argue for a bit before Homer bribes Barney with duff beer. Barney jumps. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP is all anyone can hear.

Jeremy Kyle: He just jumps. Boring. Next.

Leonard: Before he jumps Sheldon tells him the statistical probability of something going wrong. Leonard is scared but he jumps anyway he yells "PENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY"

Jason: Freddy and Jason argue over who is going to jump. Freddy says "Jason your shoes untied" then puts the bungee cord around his ankle as he bends down and pushes him over the side creating a new movie sequel Freddy v.s Jason 2.

The 7:45 train gets in.

Batman: Batman jumps. He has no fear and uses his own bat bungee for his utility belt.

Rachel: Ross and Rachel argue about who is going to jump. Rachel says "Ok, you big baby" and she jumps.

Gandalf: Gandalf and Saruman decide to flip a coin to see who jumps. But since they don't have any coins they toss Frodo in the air. Saruman wins the toss. Gandalf jumps. "Fly, you fools!"

Sam: Sam jumps because Frodo is dizzy from the coin toss.

Luna: Luna jumps.

Luke Skywalker: Luke jumps and Leia shouts "May the force be with you!"

The team catches transport to Interlaken, Switzerland to perform their next task. Transport 200 pounds of cheese down a hill. When teams have stacked all 200 pounds of cheese they will receive their next clue.

Highlights of the Cheese Task

*Oprah does well with the cheese task. After getting it to the bottom of the hill she gives it away to her audience after it's stacked.

*Bert and Ernie get extra points for Bert's incredibly organized cheese stacking.

*Homer and Barney slide down the hill with the cheese on the stomachs.

Lowlights of the Cheese Task

*Chewbacca eats the cheese in the run to the bottom of the hill and manage to convince the judges that they still transported it to the bottom of the hill, just inside Chewbacca, therefore they avoid any penalties.

* Freddy and Jason prove themselves quite adept at cheese-slicing.

* The cheese was as big as Frodo and Sam and it takes both of them to carry one cheese down the hill.

Quotations (Famous Quotes)

Han Solo: Chewbacca you're not supposed to eat the cheese

Chewy: MWRORRRRRRRRRRRR URGHRRRR RNNNHHHHH!

Luna: What do you call cheese that doesn't belong to you?

Hermione: Nacho Cheese.

Bert: Ernie! Ernie! Don't let a cheese hit me!

Frodo: Sam! That cheese is as big as you!

Batman: Robin think about the yoga classes we do!

Leonard: Why are you wearing gloves?

Sheldon: I can't touch that cheese with my bare hands. It's a rolling ball of bacteria!

Chewy and Han Solo finish the cheese task first. Teams that finish the cheese task can now make their way to the pit stop at Stechelberg. Once there they have to listen for a group of yodellers who will lead them to the pit stop.

Chewy is sluggish after eating the cheese and can't move very fast. This annoys Han Solo. He starts yelling insults Furball. Fleabag. Cheeseroller.

Meanwhile Ernie and Bert surge ahead. In a surprising turn of events Hermione and Luna sweep past all the competition on their brooms. They handle the cheese like they're in a big Quidditch match.

Hermione and Luna sweep their way in fact, all the way to the checkin mat where they find Adam standing at the pit stop looking annoyed at all the yodelling."Hermione and Luna, you're Team #1!" They dance and get all excited. "As the winners of this leg of the race you'll each receive a CD of The Latest Yodelling hits by Cheese ball and Swiss Cheesey with Guest Star Brie Camembert!" "I LOVE THEM!" says Luna.

Ernie and Bert make their way to Adam. "Ernie and Bert, you're team number #2!" Ernie and Bert high five each other and dance around Adam. Adam is not amused.Ernie and Bert sing "Rubber Ducky you're the one" and force Adam to pet the rubber ducky. Adam is not amused. Adam sends them off the mat to their mandatory rest period/ get out of my face rest place.

Freddy and Jason may have eliminated several citizens on their way to the pit stop. Adam stands quite a few feet back as they come to the check in mat. "Freddy and Jason you are team #3!" Freddy and Jason tell Adam that it's been a slice so far.

Han Solo and Chewbacca got held up. Chewbacca started coughing up cheese balls and is still on the slow side. Adam says "Han Solo and Chewbacca you are Team #4!" Han Solo says "Have you ever tried cleaning cheese out of a wookie's fur?" Chewbacca"Mwrorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Han Solo" Who knew that wookies could be lactose intolerant? We could've been first you furry, farting flea bag!!!!!"*

*Han Solo and Chewbacca will appear on the Jeremy Kyle show to talk about how cheese drove a wedge between their friendship. Adam: Funny, I didn't know cheese could drive. Producers: ADAM!!!

Checking in behind Han and Chewy are Homer and Barney! Adam says"Homer and Barney, you're team #5!" Their response? "Mmmmmmmmm, cheese. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP" Adam"That's amazing. That burping in sync. Can you teach me?"Barney, Adam and Homer "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP" Producers"ADAM we're warning you!"

Following closely behind Barney and Homer is Batman and Robin. They reach Adam and check in as Team #6. Robin"Flaming Fondo Forks, Batman, that was a lot of cheese" Batman"Luckily we did all that yoga."

Checking in shortly after Batman and Robin is the ponies! Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash check in Team #7. They smoked the cheese challenge. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" says Rainbow Dash. "Yay" says Fluttershy. "Louder!"says Rainbow Dash."Yay!" "Louder!" "GAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSP.....Yay"

Not far behind is Sheldon and Leonard. "Sheldon and Leonard you're Team #8!" Sheldon: "According to my calculations ever since encountering Chewbaca that cheese went from solid, to liquid to gas in record time, Leonard"

Daphnne and Velma check in as Team #9. Adam says "Daphnne and Velma you're Team #9!" They say "Well Adam, we solved the mystery of the missing cheese....next week we'll solve the case of the missing knees" Adam"So that's where my cheese got to..." Producers"ADAM!"

Saruman races ahead of Gandalf to the checkin mat. "You shall not pass," yells Gandalf. He forces Saruman back so they step on the mat together. Adam says "Gandalf and Saruman, you're Team #10!" **

**Gandalf and Saruman will also be on the Jeremy Kyle show to talk about the road rules of passing.

Rachel and Ross find the pit stop. "Rachel and Ross, you're Team #11!" Ross smiles and says to Adam "After going through mud, sweat and cheese, we're still friends." Rachel nods in agreement.

Frodo and Sam head to the pit stop looking dejected. It took them about an hour to carry one cheese. Adam looks down at them. They are too short to even look in the eye. "Frodo and Sam," says Adam. "I am sorry to tell you....you are still in the race" Frodo and Sam look at each other shocked. They were sure they were in last. They dance and high five each other. Even going through a hobbit toss again is worth it. They are Team #12

Luke and Leia wasted 10 minutes looking for Yoda instead of yodelling but they come in and they make it to Adam. Adam looks at them "Luke and Leia, you're team #13!" "Oh wow!"says Luke , "The force was strong enough to keep us in the race!" Leia"Now we know what yodel is!"

Jeremy Kyle and Oprah make it to Adam. "Jeremy Kyle and Oprah, I am sorry to tell you you are the last team to arrive. You have both been eliminated from the race. " Oprah says " Well Adam we did our best and we had lots of fan support and we're sorry we won't be going on. But as a consolation prize those audience members sitting in the studio if you just check under your chairs you'll see a gift certificate for a 100 pound cheese wheel for everyone in Oprah's audience today. " Jeremy Kyle says "Adam those other contestants better be careful of that team Jason and Freddy because this is what happens when people aren't hugged enough as children they grow up to be vicious killers like Freddy and Jason. Freddy and Jason come on my show and we'll get you the help you need. You can make that change"***

***Stay tuned for Freddy and Jason on the Jeremy Kyle show.

Jeremy Kyle and Oprah came in last because on their way to the pit stop, Oprah and Jeremy got stopped by adoring fans and ended up signing autographs for about 20 minutes putting them in last place and Oprah, being one to never disappoint her fans couldn't resist.

Adam the host says "Join us next week as 13 teams race around the world for 1 million dollars. Oh and by the way producers,"he screams, "It's NACHO cheese producers, NACHO cheese!" as he rolls a giant cheese wheel off the set.

On the next episode of the Amazing Race Chewbacca has cheesed off his competitors once again. You know what they say Chewy, cheese goes well with grapes.
