Greetings From Paris!
#3 of The Amazing Race 2
On the last leg of the Amazing Race, players traveled to London, England. Once there, they had to skateboard across a famous bridge and play a big game of darts. The twins manages to come out on top but the siblings argues too much that it knocked them out of the race. 1 team down, 17 remain. Who's next? It all happens right here on... the Amazing Race.

"Welcome back to Big Ben." Toner says. "As usual, yesterday's winners are the first ones up." Kit steps up and gets her clue for her and her sister.
"Route Info: get on a train and head to... Paris!" Kit says, excited. Teams will travel to Paris, France: home of many famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre. Once teams gets off the train, they'll head to the Eiffel Tower where their next clue waits.
"Let's go!" Kitty says. Her and Kit run off as the rest of the teams get their clue. Everyone heads to the same train station and gets on the next ride to Paris. During the ride, some teams decide to talk some strategy.
"Well, that's own team down." Tammy says. "Still have 16 left to go before we win it all."
"Ok." Rachel says. "But chill out. The odds of us going home right now are slim because of the numerous amount of teams."
"Alright. I'll try to keep it under control." Up towards the front, Paul & Phil are in each other's embrace, making out with each other.
"Is that how you always kiss in porns?" Amy asks them.
"Sometimes." Paul says.
"Even when the director says cut." Phil says. He turns back to his partner and goes back to making out with him.
"So, how long have you two been in love?" Maxwell asks the teacher/student duo.
"Ever since last year." Joe says. He cuddles up to Boomer. "I'm actually glad I told Boomer my feelings for him."
"I'm happy you did." Boomer says. "Now I no longer have lonely nights and I get a great cuddle buddy. How about you and Richard?"
"Oh I've secretly liked him since I first paid him to fuck with me." Richard says. He leans over and kisses Maxwell on the cheek.
"Awwwww, there's so many cute couples in this race." Vince says.
"I know," Sam says, "but we still have to focus on the race, ok?"
"Ok."

After a 6 hour train ride, the teams arrive to a Parisian train station and finds the clue box outside. "Route Info: take an Amazing Race cab and drive to the Eiffel Tower." DeeDee reads. The rest of the teams get the clue and run up and out towards the 17 cabs waiting for them.
"I'm driving." DeeDee says.
"I'll drive!" Kit says.
"Let's do this!" Milon says. After teams take off, it'll be a while until they get to the Tower.
"This is so fun." Griffin says.
"I know." Zander says. "I wonder if the others think we're a threat."
"Doubt it."
"True." Zander smiles at his partner. What I wouldn't give to kiss him right now, he thinks, but we have a race to do.
"I'm so pumped up!" Kitty says. "We won yesterday! Think we can win again today?"
"I'm sure we can," Kit says, "as long as we stay focused. No distractions, Kitty."
"I promise. Besides, I came here for two reasons. One, because a half a million dollars sounds sweet; and two, I wanted to spend more time with you, sis."
"Well, I'm glad you do, Kitty." Kit says with a smile.
"We had a major close call yesterday." Milon says.
"I know," Zax says, "17th place? C'mon! We can do better than that!"
"I know! Plus if we get 17th again, we're gonna be eliminated."
"Relax! That's not gonna happen ok?"
"There's the Eiffel Tower, I can see it!" Tammy exclaims.
"You're right!" Rachel says. "Go! Go! Go!" Griffin & Zander are the first ones to arrive at the Eiffel Tower. The clue box sits at one of the legs.
"Roadblock: whoever didn't throw darts in London must do the... Cheese Challenge?" Zander reads. One person from each team has to sample 3 different types of French cheeses before they can get their next clue from a local Parisian (black husky). They will get to try Brie, Chèvre, and Bleu.
"Looks like it's my turn." Griffin says. "And it's perfect too; I'm really good with eating challenges."
"What about when Zeke make a bet that make you walk around the office half naked?" Zander asks/teases.
"I purposely threw that." Griffin is handed a plate with a sample of Bleu, Chèvre, and Brie as more teams show up to the tower (Kit & Kitty, Tammy & Rachel, Diesel & DeeDee, Milon & Zax, and Paul & Phil).
"Looks like it's my turn." Diesel says.
"I'm up." Milon says.
"Bring it on!" Kit says. As them along with Tammy and Phil get their cheeses, Zoe & Patricia and Vince & Sam arrive.
"Cheeses? Huh, good thing I'm not lactose intolerant." Zoe says.
"I guess I'm doing this." Sam says. As Sam and Zoe are given their cheeses, Griffin quickly finishes his sample and gives it back to the local (Pierre). Pierre gives Griffin & Zander their next clue.
"Route Info: head to the Arc de Triomphe where your next task awaits." Zander reads. Him and Griffin get back to their cab and start driving off.
"How'd they finish so fast?" Kit asks.
"Have you seen Griffin's gut? He could've gotten a baker's dozen donuts in this task and he still would've come in first." Kitty says.
"True." Kit finishes the Bleu and goes on to the Chèvre.
"You can do this!" DeeDee says. "Show that cheese who's boss!"
"DeeDee?" Diesel says.
"Yes?"
"I'm already done." Diesel holds up the empty plate and goes over to Pierre. "To the Arc de Triomphe!" As the Policefurs run back to their cab, several more teams arrive (Becky & KiKi, Shelly & Fran, Amy & Hector, Boomer & Joe, Maxwell & Richard, and Miles & Joey).
"I guess I'm up." Becky says.
"This won't be too bad." Fran says. "I came in second in the Michigan Hot Dog Eating Contest."
"This is awesome! I've always wanted to try this stuff!" Hector says.
"Oh man! I'm starved." Boomer says.
"I can do this." Richard says. As them and Joey get their cheeses, some teams finish and get their next clue (Kit & Kitty, Milon & Zax, Tammy & Rachel).
"Done!" Zoe says. She hands Pierre her empty plate and her and Patricia get their next clue. Soon, the final three teams (Barbara & Eddy, Jasper & Mitch, and Jared & Cynthia) arrive at the Eiffel Tower and start their Roadblock. Mitch, Cynthia, and Barbara are handed played and they start munching.
"Almost done?" KiKi asks.
"Almost...." Becky finishes her last bite and swallows. "Now I'm done." They get their clue and run off.
"Fini!" Fran says.
"That wasn't so hard, was it?" Shelly asks.
"You're just jealous you had to throw darts and I just had to eat." Fran gets their next clue as Joey finishes for him and Miles.

Griffin & Zander are the first to reach the Arc de Triomphe. Zander takes the clue and reads it to his partner. "It's a One-Way. Run up the stairs of the Arc de Triomphe to get a giant cheese roll at the top. Roll it back down to the checkpoint on the other side of the landmark." Last team there could be cut from the race.
"Ummm... Zander, I'm not exactly comfortable with stairs." Griffin says.
"Why's that?" Zander asks.
"Because it hurts my legs after a while."
"I'm sure they have an elevator now come on!" Him and Griffin head into the Arc and find the elevator. Meanwhile, the Policefurs and Sisters make it to the Arc too.
"Let's go, Kitty!" Kit says. Diesel & DeeDee run neck and neck up the stairs with them.
"Policefurs for the win!" DeeDee says. Zoe & Patricia and Tammy & Rachel soon arrive and get their clues before heading up the stairs.
When Griffin & Zander reach the top, they find 17 giant cheese wheels they must take back downstairs. "C'mon, Griffin! We need to get this down the stairs!" Zander says. Griffin helps his partner get one wheel on its side and starts rolling towards the stairs.
"What the hell? How'd they do it so fast?" DeeDee asks.
"I don't know but keep moving!" Diesel says. With Kit & Kitty right on their trail, the Policefurs make it to the top next and get a cheese wheel.
"We're gonna have to push together." Kit says.
"Right." Kitty says. She gets with her sister and starts to help push it downstairs.
***
Paul & Phil and Amy & Hector finish the Cheese Challenge and get their clues. "Finished!" Boomer says. Him and Joe get their clue next and they take off.
"Done!" Sam shows Pierre his clean plate and him and Vince get their clue. Vince quickly kisses Sam on the lips before they run off.
"You taste like cheese." Vince says.
"Do I?" Sam giggles and blushes.
"Done." Barbara says. "Much easier to digest than Eddy's spaghetti."
"Hey now!" Eddy says. Pierre gives Barbara her clue. "What's wrong with my spaghetti?"
"You put too much Parmesan on it."
"I do not!"
"Yeah you do."
"Not!" Barbara & Eddy run off. Jared quickly swallows what he has left and gives Pierre his plate.
"Sweet! We're going to the Arc de Triomphe!" Jared says.
"Let's go!" Cynthia happily exclaims. Richard has the Chèvre left and Mitch has the Bleu left to swallow. Both realizing they're in a race to not come in last, they quickly eat what's left and give their plates to Pierre.
"Done!" They both say at the same time. They're given their clues and they scurry off.

As Milon & Zax, Shelly & Fran, Becky & KiKi, Miles & Joey, Paul & Phil, and Amy & Hector arrive at the Arc de Triomphe and start running up the stairs, Griffin & Zander make it down the stairs with their cheese wheel. "There's Toner!" Griffin points ahead of him. Him and Zander hurry up and push their wheel onto the rug.
"Griffin & Zander, first to arrive." Toner says. Zander cheers and jumps into Griffin's arm and is about to kiss him, but Tomer continues, "BUT! You two are getting a 20-minute penalty."
"Why?!" Zander asks.
"You two were supposed to go up the stairs, not take the elevator. So, you two must wait before you can officially check in." Diesel & DeeDee and Kit & Kitty make it down with their wheels and starts rolling it towards the checkpoint. The sisters quickly catch up but they aren't fast enough.
"Diesel & DeeDee, first place." Toner says.
"Oh yeah!" DeeDee says. She hugs her partner and they step off the rug.
"Kit & Kitty, second place."
"Good enough for me." Kit says. She pushes her cheese wheel away and walks off. Barbara & Eddy, Vince & Sam, Jasper & Mitch, Boomer & Joe, and Maxwell & Richard soon arrive and start climbing the stairs. At this point, a majority of the teams have started to come back downstairs with their cheese wheels.
"Hurry up!" Tammy says.
"I'm trying!" Rachel says. The Olympians and the publishers are neck in neck for third place. After several minutes, they make it off the stairs and see the checkpoint.
"Kick it in high gear!" Zoe says. Her and Patricia give it their all to make it there before Tammy & Rachel.
"Zoe & Patricia, third place." Toner says.
"Woohoo!!!" Zoe says.
"We're still in this!" Patricia says. As they get off, Tammy & Rachel step on with smiles on their faces.
"As Olympians, you're probably used to being told this... fourth place." Toner says. Tammy's eye twitches in irritation as they step off the rug.
Becky & KiKi- 5th place
Shelly & Fran- 6th place
Paul & Phil- 7th place
Amy & Hector- 8th place
Miles & Joey- 9th place
Vince & Sam- 10th place
"Arcadia workers, Milon & Zax, 11th place. Not bad." Toner says.
"Sweet!" Milon says.
"We're getting better, man." Zax says. Jared & Cynthia finally arrive and take their clue.
"We have to hurry. We're in last!" Jared says as they start to run up the stairs. Boomer & Joe and Jasper & Mitch run down the stairs with cheese wheels in front of them.
"Help me, Richard!" Maxwell says. Richard goes over and helps Maxwell get a wheel on its side. They start rolling it downstairs as Barbara & Eddy get their wheel. As the teams pass Jared & Cynthia, it only fills their chests with more dread that they could come in last.
The hooker/customer and teacher/student duos remain side by side but one team manages to get on the rug before the other. "Boomer & Joe, 12th place." Toner announces. "Maxwell & Richard, 13th."
"Yay! We did it bae!" Richard says, hugging and kissing Maxwell.
"You're pretty strong, Boomer." Joe says, rubbing the polar bear's chest.
"Thanks." Boomer blushes and the four of them walk off. A couple more teams make it off the stairs and straight to the checkpoint.
"Jasper & Mitch, 14th place." Toner says. "Barbara & Eddy, you're in 15th."
"Well, that's fine." Barbara says. "Unlike Eddy's..."
"Don't say it!" Eddy says.
"Sheesh! They're like an old married couple." Jasper says. "I hope you and I don't end up that way."
"Me too, bro." Mitch says. Jared & Cynthia make it to the roof where only one cheese wheel remains. They picks it up, get it on its side and start rolling it downstairs.
"Griffin & Zander, one more minute left in your penalty." Toner says.
"Good." Zander says. "Let's hope the coyotes don't make it down in time."
"I know." Griffin says, putting an arm around him.
"Hurry!" Jared says.
"I know!" Cynthia says. The two makes it to the bottom of the stairs as the co-workers have 20 seconds left.
10 seconds.
- Jared & Cynthia are 27 feet away. "Almost there!" Jared exclaims.
"Time's up!" Toner says. Griffin & Zander quickly step on the rug. "Griffin & Zander, 16th place."
"Whew!" Griffin says. He kisses Zander on his cheek and walks off. "That was close."
"I know." Zander says. Jared & Cynthia step on the rug.
"I'm sorry, Jared & Cynthia, you're in last place and therefore you're cut from the race." Toner says.
"Oh well." Jared turns around, tail limp and walk away. Cynthia puts an arm around him to try and cheer him up. "Sorry if I wasted your time, Cynthia. I just hoped we could've won."
"Sorry?" She kisses him on the cheek which causes his tail to perk up. "This was the most fun I've had in a long time. I'm happy you did this with me."
"Well, I'm glad I could do this with you too. Now let's go home and try something else."
"Sure."
