View Full Version : The Amazing Drag Race (the gayest crossover event of the century)
because I'm not letting the Drag Race sub-forum go quiet during the off-season that easily.
https://i.imgur.com/TSf2SN6.png
The most ambitious crossover event of the century has arrived. Forget Drag Race UK. Forget Drag Race Canada. Forget Celebrity Drag Race and Drag Race Juniors and Drag Race on Ice and Drag Love Island (I swear I only made two of those up). This is the competition you've all been waiting for, ever since I realised the other day that RuPaul's Drag Race and The Amazing Race both have the word 'race' in the title.
Eleven pairs of men in wigs, racing around the world for a cash prize of one million dollars and a year's supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics. Sounds like something that would go off without a hitch, doesn't it? In case you're somehow dubious...
Here's how it'll work:
In a format I saw on another forum, liked and decided to steal, this will work as a boosting game. This means that at the start of each leg of the race, you will rank the teams in order of preference from first to last. For example:
Leg 1
1st - Team A
2nd - Team B
3rd - Team C
4th - Team D
5th - Team E
6th - Team F
7th - Team G
8th - Team H
9th - Team I
10th - Team J
11th - Team K
I'll then use the results to determine the order that the teams finish each leg in. I'll do this by counting the votes for each placement (who got votes for first place, then second, and so and so forth), then running them through random.org (https://www.random.org/lists/) to decide which team finishes where. For instance, if four people put Team A in first place like I did above, and one person puts Team F in first place, I'll put Team A into the randomiser four times and Team F once. This means that Team A have an 80% chance of placing first in this leg, but there's always a chance that Team F will get randomly picked instead. I'll then move on through the rest of the placements, voiding any votes for teams who've already been picked, until one team is left. This team will then be eliminated from the race/shot out of a cannon into the sun. As a result, I'm hoping that the game will be fairly unpredictable, as a team who gets a ton of first place votes could still come in last if they don't get many back-up votes further down the list. Once all of this has been decided for each leg, I’ll write some (hopefully) entertaining stuff to fill the gaps in between, such as which countries the teams travel to, which tasks they complete and which queens get kicked off which flights for being over the alcohol limit. Clear as mud? Good, let's move on!
The game itself will run much like a regular season of The Amazing Race. No worries if you're not familiar with how TAR works: Wikipedia has a pretty thorough rundown on the rules (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Race#The_Race), but all you really need to know for this version is that eleven teams of two will be racing around the world from country to country, completing various types of tasks (the ones you'll be hearing about most are Detours and Roadblocks; the first is a choice between two tasks, the second is a task only one member of each team can complete) along the way. At the end of each leg is a Pit Stop, at which the team arriving in last place will be eliminated. Well, unless it's a predetermined non-elimination leg, in which case they’ll get to carry on racing. The team who finishes first in the final leg wins the race. It's hosted by a man named Phil who has a funny accent and is sort of hot if you're into that cool-church-minister-who-goes-hiking-on-Saturdays vibe. And, because I'm a bored gay, I thought it might be a laugh to imagine drag queens doing all of the above. The racing bit, I mean, not Phil.*
I'll be revealing the ten teams I've selected to run the race shortly, as well as the four teams vying to fill the final spot (which you get to choose, you lucky beggars). I'll also open a sweepstake if there's enough interest.
Until then, in the words of Phil Keoghan himself – let's go, lesbians, let’s go!
*when planning this, I didn’t give much thought as to whether the queens would be running the race in drag or not. I assume it’d be much more logistically convenient for them to run it out of drag, but if you’d rather picture Mimi Imfurst trying to hail a taxi on the streets of Dhaka in full mug and heels, be my guest!

If enough people are up for it I'll post more about what the sweepstakes will involve later :love: Until then, the first interactive decision will be picking the 11th team, so stay tuned for that as well
Clue for Team #1: they host a podcast together
https://i.imgur.com/XPTbvbZ.png
https://i.imgur.com/fZRspOc.png
______________________________________________
Alaska Thunder**** 5000 & Willam
Very much the Martha Stewart and… well, Prison Martha Stewart of RuPaul’s Drag Race (you can probably guess which one is which), Alaska & Willam have managed to spin a media empire out of their collective two-and-a-half seasons on the show, despite their actual experiences of the competition being rather different (to say the least - the most recent episode of Race Chaser saw Willam trying to compare her parting quote from RuPaul with Alaska's, before Alaska not-smugly reminded her that she was never eliminated and so never got one). Between the two of them, they have amassed a total of eight studio albums, a podcast, an American Apparel ad campaign, a drag pageant and guest appearances on shows such as The Celebrity Apprentice, The Bachelorette, Scared Famous and, yes, Boston Public with Loretta Devine. Will all of their media success translate to a strong run on The Amazing Race? I don’t bloody know. That’s why I’m making you lot decide. Showbiz!
Most likely to: actually fly into, or at least over, the state of Alaska.
Least likely to: travel to Alaska’s home planet of Glamtron (the CBS budget doesn’t stretch that far).

https://i.imgur.com/MA4yyAM.png
______________________________________________
Alyssa Edwards & Shangela
If Alaska & Willam are the Martha Stewart(s) of the Drag Race world, the Haus of Edwards must be the… the Kardashians? The Knowles-Carters? The Clintons? The point is, if this were The Amazing Race: Family Edition, the Edwardses would easily snatch first place. Sure, haus mother Alyssa may have let Shangela spread her wings and fly the nest (to the Oscars of all places) in recent months, shifting much of her attention to the fledgling Plastique Tiara in the process, but what’s The Amazing Race without an ‘estranged loved ones trying to reconnect with one another’ storyline? Plus, any excuse for Jenifer Lewis to make a cameo along the way is fine by me.
Most likely to: skip a leg of the race in order to attend an important awards ceremony.
Least likely to: have sugar daddies.
Clue for Team #3: they're non-Drag Race queens
https://i.imgur.com/N3s0qYH.png
https://i.imgur.com/ThcSpYJ.png
______________________________________________
Lady Bunny & Coco Peru
I’m not saying that these two are old, but if I’ve got my gay history correct, Lady Bunny threw the first wig at Stonewall, as Coco stood by telling all the rioters that she remembers when the West Village used to be nothing but fields. Let’s hope TADR’s answer to Peggy & Claire (https://cdn.sierrasun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2016/08/SS_SS200210203070101AR.jpg) can put their combined age to good use on the race, and prove to some of these young queens that, to quote Judge Judy, beauty fades, dumb is forever. Well, that, and I’m sure some of the airlines are bound to have AARP discounts, so they’ll always have something to fall back on.
Most likely to: have their wigs arrested at customs a la Pete Burns’ coat.
Least likely to: remember that they can’t just drive from one continent to another because Pangea broke up 200 million years ago.
Clue for Team #4: they both have over one million Instagram followers
https://i.imgur.com/rWkbMhI.png
https://i.imgur.com/PPFK1Cm.png?1
______________________________________________
Farrah Moan & Valentina
The most Instagram-ready of our teams, and in that sense the anti-Bunny & Coco, Farrah & Valentina began their Drag Race careers as the best of frenemies (see: "you don’t love me" and "shut up Farrah Moan" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g63nZlpX7E)) and have up until now ended things on somewhat better terms, assuming Farrah doesn’t still hold a grudge against Valentina for beating her in a lip sync (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D6Lcj854ro) by pretending to be a cat. With one half of the team looking like Christina Aguilera circa 2002 and the other looking like Linda Evangelista circa 1990, can their youthful good looks propel them to the million dollars? Or will racing around the world simply not make sense with their fantasy?
Most likely to: refuse to check into a Pit Stop until they’ve applied their highlight.
Least likely to: be allowed on a flight without being accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Clue for Team #5: they lip synced against each other during their original season
https://i.imgur.com/5sioXqi.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/JIXLa8e.png
______________________________________________
Gia Gunn & Laganja Estranja
The more environmentally-conscious of you won’t have to worry about this team keeping to their green flying duty when Laganja’s around, that’s for certain. Those who do have cause for concern will be hotel and restaurant owners, who may find their no-smoking signs vanishing at a record speed and being used as couture headpieces instead. Meanwhile, having someone as artful in the trade of reality television as Gina Gum on the team probably won’t hurt their chances of making it far in the race, unless she spends so long yelling at Coco Peru about her old nose in an airport terminal that she and Laganja miss their flight. What privilege!
Most likely to: start an argument with Phil at the starting line (more of a Gia one, this one).
Least likely to: succeed at a task which involves identifying Nancy Pelosi out of a line-up (https://hornet.com/stories/courtney-act-gia-gunn/) (again... more a Gia thing).
Clue for Team #6: contains both a Drag Race runner-up and a Drag Race first boot, despite neither queen achieving these placements on their original season
https://i.imgur.com/vZT5diY.png
https://i.imgur.com/6FYn3bU.png
______________________________________________
Jasmine Masters & Kennedy Davenport
While Jasmine is less in this race for the competition and the exhilarating sense of adventure it provides, and more as part of her global crusade to get weed legalised in every sovereign state on the planet, Kennedy is hungry for a win after coming so close in All Stars 3 (maybe she can chat to Shangela about that if they get stuck on the same flight. Start up a support group or something). With the added bonus of being the only queen in the race to actually share a name with an airport - or at least she will be until Laganja Estranja International Airport opens in Paramaribo next February - can the Dancing Diva of Texas strut her stuff all the way to a million dollars? And will Jasmine decide to clock off halfway through the race and force production to bring in a stunt double with a translucent bag over their head (https://tomandlorenzo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/RuPaul-Drag-Race-Holi-Slay-Spectacular-Special-VH1-Tom-Lorenzo-Site-20.jpg)? Only time will tell!
Most likely to: have something to say.
Least likely to: not have anything to say.
Clue for Team #7: they're both based in the same city (hint: it’s not in California, New York, Texas, Florida or Illinois)
https://i.imgur.com/zxW1rTj.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/cjxc976.png
______________________________________________
Jinkx Monsoon & BenDeLaCreme
One’s a quirky weirdo outsider from Seattle who managed to overcome her inner saboteur and slay the three-headed beast that was Rolaskatox to snatch the crown in season 5, the other’s a quirky weirdo outsider from Seattle who took one look at Bebe Zahara Benet’s jungle kitty and decided to quit All Stars 3. Together, who knows what they might be capable of? Y'know, other than a straight-to-DVD remake of the movie Us (and as long as Jinkx doesn’t face any Roadblocks involving water and/or the backs of ducks, and Dela doesn’t face any involving lip syncing, that is). Fingers crossed Jinkx doesn’t accidentally mistake a clue for giblets for the cats either.
Most likely to: scour duty free for lipstick and white-out before catching a flight.
Least likely to: get a tan at any point during the race.
Clue for Team #8: they were eliminated in the same episode, eight years apart
https://i.imgur.com/3QC5MhH.png
https://i.imgur.com/GPFBjMb.png
______________________________________________
Mayhem Miller & Morgan McMichaels
Mayhem & Morgan have a lot more in common than just being from West Hollywood - they both won the first challenges of their original Drag Race seasons, only to be eliminated in week five after losing a lip sync to a Davenport (yes, Monét X Change is technically a Davenport, I swear I’m not making this up). As WeHo queens are known for being as vague as possible at all times, preferably when bitching about another queen on social media, these two should have the strategic element of the race on lock - if not just because they’ll always be too vague to accidentally give vital information to any other teams. Oh, and if our teams happen to run into any Nazis along the race, Morgan’s got you covered (https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/pride/8479775/morgan-mcmichaels-drag-race-bedazzled-cast-nazi). Thanks Morgan.
Most likely to: be eliminated fifth (it’s the statistics speaking, not me).
Least likely to: have grievances with anyone they actually specify by name.
Clue for Team #9: they have competed in seventeen episodes of Drag Race together, but have never lip synced against each other
https://i.imgur.com/upJjN6a.png
https://i.imgur.com/ndxpokn.png
______________________________________________
Monét X Change & Monique Heart
Rumour has it that Monét was initially supposed to compete on the race with her podcasting sister Bob the Drag Queen, but it turns out that Bob is so inherently New York that it’s biologically impossible for her to leave the tri-state area for longer than a fortnight. So instead production roped in Monique, thus allowing her to put her hypothesis that the ooh ah ah sensation can indeed be felt in every nation to the test. Given how well they worked as a painting and decorating duo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBjvH9qie90) back in All Stars 4, racing across the planet should be a breeze for these two. Who said? Jesus.
Most likely to: wake up in cold sweats in a hotel in eastern Europe after having had simultaneous nightmares about The Vixen.
Least likely to: complete a painting Detour in a reasonable amount of time.
Clue for Team #10: two queens who have participated in a Lip Sync for the Crown against each other
https://i.imgur.com/FzxyEfO.png
https://i.imgur.com/hf0lucI.png
______________________________________________
Sasha Velour & Shea Couleé
Hey beauties, it’s Sasha & Shea! Given that they were basically edited like a team of annoyingly competent Amazing Race winners in their original Drag Race season, Sashea will likely have no qualms about being paired up in another high-pressure competition situation this time around. Unless they end up comparing the trajectories of their careers post-Drag Race at any point. Or their social media followers. Or get onto the subject of rose petals. Or unless Shea decides to gift Sasha a basket of hamburgers and shampoo for being such a great race partner. And that’s something you definitely shouldn't joke about.
Most likely to: have the highest collective IQ of any team on the race. Well, unless Serena Cha Cha decides to take part, that is.
Least likely to: joke about that.
So, those are the ten teams I've chosen to take part in the race!
https://i.imgur.com/9GUWZQJ.png https://i.imgur.com/poP4p78.png https://i.imgur.com/z3oOqW1.png https://i.imgur.com/cuaoIXd.png https://i.imgur.com/dJULNbs.png
Alaska & Willam / Alyssa & Shangela / Bunny & Coco / Farrah & Valentina / Gia & Laganja
Jasmine & Kennedy / Jinkx & Dela / Mayhem & Morgan / Monét & Monique / Sasha & Shea

Now, however, I'm handing over the power to the members of the Conservative Part-oh wait, sorry, I mean you guys (secret Tories among you included, sure why not, I'm a tolerant guy). It's your job to choose the eleventh and final team.
Next, I'll be introducing you to the four potential wildcard teams, and then it'll be up to you to pick which one you want to subject upon an unwilling planet...
https://i.imgur.com/Wp7ZoIB.png
https://i.imgur.com/r6aRj5U.png
______________________________________________
Wildcard Team #1: Kelly Mantle & Tammie Brown
As much as it’s fun to bring in well-established pairs of queens to compete in the race, production knows that forcing queens with seemingly little history to work together is when the sparks truly fly. Which is to say that Tammie “it was a dead body!” Brown and Kelly “oh mama they tried to drown me in the ocean” Mantle deserve to be heralded as one of Drag Race’s finest dynamic duos as much as the next… er, I don’t know, Dusty Ray Bottoms and Jaidynn Diore Fierce (why not) and with any luck this race will rectify that. No combination of potential queens in the running matches the description of wildcard better than these two, which is why inflicting them upon a divided world as a kind of peace offering sounds pretty good to me. C’mon Bolsonaro! Teleport us to Mars!

Wildcard Team #2: Kim Chi & Naomi Smalls

Enter now via the app or on the website to be in with a chance of meeting Kim & Naomi during a fag break in between filming in some random village in Moldova! #Klarna #RaceLikeAQueen #spon

______________________________________________
Wildcard Team #3: Nina West & Shuga Cain
No stranger to controversial eliminations, Nina & Shuga should have plenty of fans on their side ready to go to battle for them in the event that they somehow get rigged out of their second reality competition in a row. But then again, they’re both so calm and congenial that I highly doubt they’ll kick up a fuss, even if they do happen to get eliminated on a leg consisting of a "learn and perform a magic trick" Detour and a "do a lip sync to No Scrubs" Roadblock. You know, just as examples.
https://i.imgur.com/vsN1ULI.png
https://i.imgur.com/hwiG4Oj.png
______________________________________________
Wildcard Team #4: Silky Nutmeg Ganache & A'keria C. Davenport
Silky & A’keria are determined not to let the absence of their third Dreamgirl, Miss Vanjie, stop them in the race. That’s because they’re planning on smuggling her into Silky’s backpack, and if anything they’ll be more likely to get stopped because of Vanjie’s presence, namely in customs. Bonus points if they subject a terrified Phil to their two-woman rendition of And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going at the Pit Stop at any point and force a non-elimination in the process.
Your job:
It's now your turn to choose which of the four wildcard teams you'd like to see try and navigate immigration at the airports of the world while dressed like women. Will it be:
Kelly Mantle & Tammie Brown (#TeamBrownBacon)?
Kim Chi & Naomi Smalls (#TeamKlarna)?
Nina West & Shuga Cain (#TeamNana)?
or Silky Nutmeg Ganache & A'keria C. Davenport (#TeamDreamgirls)?
To decide, please rank the above from 1st (your favourite) to 4th (your least), as below. For this round only, there'll be no randomising involved: simply, whoever gets the most votes will join the race.
1st -
2nd -
3rd -
4th -
I'll close the votes in a day or two, and inform you of the results if you haven't already counted them up yourselves. I'll then kick off the game proper :love:

This is New York City, the most populated city in North America.
In the heart of the city is the iconic Columbia University, which will serve as the starting line for a race like no other.
https://i.imgur.com/bvBsnDS.jpg
From here, eleven teams of drag queens are about to embark on a race around the world.
The winning team will take home a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics and a cash prize of one million dollars.
This is The Amazing Drag Race.
______________________________________________
New York City, New York, United States.
The ten preselected teams gather on the steps of Columbia's Low Memorial Library, where host Phil Keoghan welcomes them to the race. Most of the queens seem excited, although Coco can be seen wondering aloud whether she left the stove on. Gia notices that she is stood next to Farrah, and shifts several inches in the other direction.
After Phil has greeted the queens, he introduces the eleventh and final team to the race: Kelly & Tammie. Tammie walks in singing her new original song, 'If You're Happy And You Know It, Steal a Bus'.
Wildcard Vote
1st: Kelly & Tammie (Team Brown Bacon) - 30
2nd: Nina & Shuga (Team Nana) - 29
3rd: Kim & Naomi (Team Klarna) - 21
4th: Silky & A’keria (Team Dreamgirls) - 20
Phil then points the teams to their bags, which are waiting for them at the bottom of the steps along with their clues. Once teams open their clues, he explains, what they choose to do next and for the rest of the race is entirely up to them.
Shangela takes a deep breath. Monique mutters a prayer of supplication. Willam does a hit of poppers.

Nana :(
Your job:
It's time for the first (proper) vote of the race! Here, you'll be helping to decide the placements for leg 1. As I outlined in the opening post, the finishing order for this leg, and the remainder of the legs throughout the race, will be decided by randomised weighting, meaning the team that gets the most votes for first place won't necessarily finish first in the leg (although they should have a pretty good shot at it). Similarly, the team with most last place votes won't necessarily be the team finishing last. How fun.
To do this, please rank the following eleven teams from 1st (this can be your favourite team, or the team you think would be most likely to finish first if this were an actual race, or the team you think wear the prettiest outfits, etc... regardless of the reasoning you use, it's up to you) to 11th (your least favourite team, or the team you think would be most likely to book flights to the wrong country and sustain a serious injury on the plane, forcing them to quit the race... etc) and post them below.
1st (favourite) -
2nd -
3rd -
4th -
5th -
6th -
7th -
8th -
9th -
10th -
11th (least favourite) -
And again, these are the eleven teams you'll be ranking:
Alaska & Willam
Alyssa & Shangela
Bunny & Coco
Farrah & Valentina
Gia & Laganja
Jasmine & Kennedy
Jinkx & Dela
Kelly & Tammie
Mayhem & Morgan
Monét & Monique
Sasha & Shea

Just a reminder that these rankings will count for this leg only; I'll reset with each leg, so don't worry if you drastically change your mind on, say, Kennedy Davenport between now and next Monday. There'll be plenty of opportunities to vote differently further on down the line if you want to do so. On the flip side, you can vote exactly the same each leg if you like (minus whoever gets eliminated each time). Again, it's up to you!
While I won't be disclosing when the three non-elimination legs will be for the sake of ~excitement~ (for the sake of fairness I'll prove that these were predetermined all along at the end of the game), I will say that this leg is definitely an elimination leg, meaning whichever team is selected last will be out for good.
I'll keep this vote open until sometime Saturday, at which point I'll randomise the results and use them to write the first leg! Until then, here's a clue as to the first destination.

Sorry, just noticed that my sleep-deprived brain wrote Monét & Morgan instead of Monét & Monique in the post above :laugh: Lemme know if you want to change your vote to remedy this
Without giving you all too much to do at once on purpose, I'll also open the sweepstakes now, if there's a particular team you fancy getting behind for as long as they may last on the race.
The sweepstake is first come, first served, and will for now just be one person-per-team (unless the demand for racing drag queens is much higher than I'd anticipated). Pick a team and I'll add you to the list:
Alaska & Willam - Ammi
Alyssa & Shangela - Liam
Bunny & Coco -
Farrah & Valentina - RileyH
Gia & Laganja -
Jasmine & Kennedy - Shaun
Jinkx & Dela - Barry
Kelly & Tammie - Black Dagger
Mayhem & Morgan -
Monét & Monique -
Sasha & Shea -
The winner will receive a lifetime supply of Absolut vodka and a plaster cast of Soju's cyst.

Previously on The Amazing Drag Race...
https://i.imgur.com/9v0bzMx.png
This is New York City, the most populated city in North America.
In the heart of the city is the iconic Columbia University, which will serve as the starting line for a race like no other.
https://i.imgur.com/bvBsnDS.jpg
From here, eleven teams of drag queens are about to embark on a race around the world.
The winning team will take home a one-year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills cosmetics and a cash prize of one million dollars.
This is The Amazing Drag Race.
______________________________________________
New York City, New York, United States.
The ten preselected teams gather on the steps of Columbia's Low Memorial Library, where host Phil Keoghan welcomes them to the race. Most of the queens seem excited, although Coco can be seen wondering aloud whether she left the stove on. Gia notices that she is stood next to Farrah, and shifts several inches in the other direction.
After Phil has greeted the queens, he introduces the eleventh and final team to the race: Kelly & Tammie. Tammie walks in singing her new original song, 'If You're Happy And You Know It, Steal a Bus'.
Phil then points the teams to their bags, which are waiting for them at the bottom of the steps along with their clues. Once teams open their clues, he explains, what they choose to do next and for the rest of the race is entirely up to them.
Shangela takes a deep breath. Monique mutters a prayer of supplication. Willam does a hit of poppers.
______________________________________________
The world is waiting for you. Good luck… travel safe… go!
______________________________________________
To be continued.
https://i.imgur.com/f1IHT6R.png
The teams race down the steps of the Low Library towards their bags, and rip open their first clues:
https://i.imgur.com/BvlVBB3.png
Valentina gets excited and hopes she’ll get to meet Miss Colombia at some point during the leg. Willam checks her bag to see how much room she has to bring back cocaine on the flight home.
There are eleven marked cars parked along the road, and the teams must use these to drive to the airport. A mad rush to get to these cars ensues, with Bunny doing a Mimi Imfurst and lifting the much smaller Farrah over her shoulder to get her out of the way. "I have tucking panties older than you. Smarter, too," Bunny says as she races past a bewildered Farrah.
Feeling a little bruised after being manhandled by Lady Bunny, Farrah asks Valentina if she can drive instead while she applies an ice pack to her hip. "We’re not even on the freeway and you’re already whining" says Valentina, rolling her mascara-coated eyes as she looks for signs pointing to JFK.
Jasmine & Kennedy get stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the airport; Jasmine, who is driving their team’s car, takes this as an opportunity to get out and smoke a joint by the freeway. As she does so, Gia & Laganja drive past in the express lane. Laganja, who has also rolled a joint, smugly waves at a furious Jasmine from the passenger seat of her car.
Alaska & Willam and Jinkx & Dela are the first two teams to arrive at the airport. There, they make a pact to look out for one another during the first leg. "After that," Alaska says, "it’s every queen for herself." The two teams shake on this deal as they secure their seats on the first flight.
The next four teams - Alyssa & Shangela, Mayhem & Morgan, Monét & Monique and Sasha & Shea - arrive at the airport more or less at the same time, and all rush towards the Avianca desk. There are only enough seats for two teams on this flight. After a foot race, Mayhem & Morgan arrive at the desk first, but are blocked by Alyssa & Shangela, who duck through their legs and climb up onto the counter. "We call dibs!" shouts Alyssa, dipping into the splits. "Move, Oscar nominee coming through," Shangela adds, as the three teams in line get increasingly riled up. In the end, Alyssa & Shangela[/B]’s quick thinking secures them seats on the first flight, and they are joined by Mayhem & Morgan. Monét & Monique, making their way to the JetBlue desk, swear to get their revenge on Team Haus of Edwards. "May the Lord strike down upon thee with great vengeance," warns Monique, as Monét mops her forehead with a sponge.
As the first four teams wait to board their flight, Shangela searches through her backpack and takes out a massive amount of padding. "I can’t be landing in Colombia with a flat ass!" she laughs as she stuffs the padding down her trousers. Alyssa watches on proudly.
Gia & Laganja arrive next, followed by Bunny & Coco. Both secure seats on the second flight, and Coco spends the wait browsing duty free for panettone. She leaves disappointed ("what kind of store doesn’t restock its panettone until 2pm?").
Kelly & Tammie, who were late to depart Columbia University after Tammie spent twenty minutes trying to drive the car like a Flintstones car, arrive at JFK in time to secure the first seats on the last flight. Jasmine & Kennedy turn up next, but are held up further when Jasmine insists on smoking another joint in the parking lot. Kennedy reminds her that they’re about to race around the world for a million dollars and that it’d be preferable if Jasmine didn’t do it entirely high.
Farrah & Valentina are the last team to arrive at the airport, having taken a detour to buy iced coffee. "Don’t worry," Valentina assures Farrah, still nursing a bruised hip. "They’ll hold the plane for us. Or at least I think that’s how airports work." Valentina puts on a pair of sunglasses and sips her coffee.
https://i.imgur.com/f1IHT6R.png
The Avianca plane lands in Bogotá, and the four teams on board - Alaska & Willam, Alyssa & Shangela, Jinkx & Dela and Mayhem & Morgan - race through the airport to find a taxi. However, as they do so, Alyssa & Shangela are stopped by a customs officer, who takes them into a room. There, the officer tells Shangela she is being held on suspicion of smuggling drugs into the country, pointing to her suspiciously large, oddly-shaped bum. Although Shangela tries to explain that she is wearing padding, the officer does not want to listen, and she eventually snaps at him.
"I am not smuggling crystal meth up my ass," Shangela yells. "I’ve never smuggled crystal meth up my ass. If I wanted to smuggle crystal meth up my ass, yes, I could probably go out and do it, because I am what? Supple. You could never smuggle crystal meth up your ass because you are not that kind of customs officer." She reaches for a drink to throw over the customs officer, but as the only beverage in the room is a single bottle of water, she decides that this would not have the same dramatic effect. The officer decides to keep Alyssa & Shangela in the room to await further questioning.
Meanwhile, the three teams at the front of the pack are in taxis driving to the Botero Museum, a famous art gallery in downtown Bogotá. Once there, they look for a cluebox on the first floor of the gallery. Jinkx & Dela reach this first and rip open their clue.
https://i.imgur.com/dcGbC2g.png
Jinkx & Dela, deducing that the Gold Museum is closer and would be less likely to trigger Jinkx’s angina, choose Search for Gold. Alaska & Willam arrive at the cluebox next and choose the same task. Mayhem & Morgan, refreshed from a beauty nap on the plane, opt for the more physical task, Go for Gold.
The JetBlue plane is next to arrive, carrying Bunny & Coco, Gia & Laganja, Monét & Monique and Sasha & Shea. As they wait for a taxi, Sasha pulls rose petals out of her backpack, mildly irritating Shea. The four teams arrive at the Botero Museum, where all of them except Sasha & Shea choose to Search for Gold.
At the gold-searching Detour, Jinkx & Dela strike… well, gold when they find the key and unlock the box only a few minutes into the task. "I mean, they could have at least waited for us," Alaska says as Team Seattle read their next clue, before quickly realising that she and Willam wouldn't have waited for them either.
https://i.imgur.com/B83vqWx.png
At the cycling Detour, Mayhem & Morgan get so distracted by the site of Colombian men riding around in lycra that they forget neither of them knows how to ride a bike. Accordingly, they decide to switch to the other Detour. "We’ve already wasted so much time," Morgan laments in the taxi to the Gold Museum. "But still... dem bulges," says Mayhem, still thinking about the male cyclists.
Bunny & Coco, Gia & Laganja and Monét & Monique arrive at the Gold Museum as Alaska & Willam are still searching for their key. Mayhem & Morgan then show up and squeeze into the cramped space to do the same. "I haven’t seen this many people in one small room since that chemsex party at Andy Cohen’s," remarks Willam, who has found a chair in the corner to sit on as everyone else searches through the piles of golden tat. Out of nowhere, Gia screams, having unlocked the box containing a clue. As Gia & Laganja grab the clue and run out of the room, still screaming, Lady Bunny gives them the side-eye. "I wish someone would gag those two with a Delorean," she says.
https://i.imgur.com/f1IHT6R.png
Meanwhile, Sasha & Shea arrive at the velodrome. After spending some time figuring out how to ride the tandem bike, they manage to complete the task on the second attempt. Sasha pulls some rose petals out of her sleeve in celebration. Shea is very confused.
Arriving at the Virrey Park Hotel, Jinkx & Dela are amazed to see that Gia & Laganja have caught up and are now nipping at their heels. "Quick, someone slow them down," says Dela. "Give them a comedy challenge." Both teams rip open their next clues.
https://i.imgur.com/uPAd3ej.png
"A sports bar? I didn’t sign up for this," Jinkx says dismissively. Gia is initially disgusted, but comes round to the idea once Laganja reminds her of all the trade they might find at the bar.
At last, the third plane arrives in Bogotá, and the three teams on board (Farrah & Valentina, Jasmine & Kennedy and Kelly & Tammie) rush off and head towards the taxi rank. Well, I say “rush” - Farrah & Valentina are driven through the airport terminal in a buggy at Valentina’s request. Kelly & Tammie are first to get into a taxi, although Kelly is forced to interject after Tammie wrongly asks the driver to take them to Stamford, Connecticut. Across the airport, the customs officers finally agree to let Alyssa & Shangela go after Alyssa performs an impromptu lip sync to a Colombia’s national anthem, She Wolf by Shakira. The Haus of Edwards then rushes to catch up with the other teams.
Back at the Gold Museum, Monét finds a key, but the box it opens is empty. Alaska then finds a key and successfully finds her and Willam’s next clue. Spurred on by this, Morgan tries every box in the room, and eventually finds the clue that will take them to the hotel. Alaska & Willam and Mayhem & Morgan then arrive at the hotel at the same time, before reading clues directing them to the sports bar.
https://i.imgur.com/f1IHT6R.png
At the bar, Jinkx & Dela and Gia & Laganja are assigned their next task.
https://i.imgur.com/2yRCdXz.png
Jinkx elects to perform the Roadblock for her team, while Gia decides to do it for hers, having spotted a good-looking Colombian man at the bar she wants to impress. The face-off is a tense one, but Jinkx is the first to win five games, and is handed the next clue for Team Seattle. Once Gia has finished the task, she slips the hot Colombian guy her number.
https://i.imgur.com/P1UTtl1.png
Jinkx & Dela and Gia & Laganja both grab taxis to Monserrate, a hill which towers over Bogotá. Jinkx & Dela make it to the bottom of the hill first and decide to take the cable car up to the top. Gia & Laganja, spotting a sign saying that the cable cars only run every fifteen minutes, settle for the slower funicular instead. Once at the top, the teams make their way to Monserrate Sanctuary, a 17th century Catholic shrine, where Phil is waiting for them...
https://i.imgur.com/FQSsaCp.png
Jinkx & Dela... you are team number one!
Phil: Congrats, you two! For coming first in this leg of the race, you have won a trip for two from Travelocity to Coventry, England!
Dela: Ooh, how exotic!
Jinkx & Dela - 3 (Barry, Liam, Ammi)
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Shaun)
Alyssa & Shangela - 1 (Morgan)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (RileyH)
https://i.imgur.com/f1IHT6R.png
Gia & Laganja arrive at the top few minutes later.
https://i.imgur.com/dJULNbs.png
Gia & Laganja... you are team number two!
Phil: You two made up quite a lot of time on this leg, well done! And… wait, who’s this?
Phil gestures towards a tall, dark Colombian man who has joined Gia & Laganja on the mat.
Gia: This is Sebastian :)
Alyssa & Shangela - 2 (Barry, Ammi)
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Liam)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Morgan)
Gia & Laganja - 1 (RileyH)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Shaun)
Alaska & Willam arrive at the hotel, along with Mayhem & Morgan. Both teams make their way to the sports bar, although Mayhem & Morgan's taxi takes them to the wrong bar, causing another delay. At the correct bar, Willam elects to do the Roadblock. Amazingly, she beats the trejo champions in record time. "What can I say? I know how to beat off a load of Colombian men," she says drolly. Team Race Chaser then heads to the Pit Stop, choosing to take the cable car up the hill.
https://i.imgur.com/9GUWZQJ.png
Alaska & Willam... you are team number three!
Alaska: Hieeeeeee Phil!
Phil: I… I don’t understand, is that supposed to be a reference to something?
Alyssa & Shangela - 2 (RileyH, Liam)
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Ammi)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Shaun)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Barry)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Morgan)
Mayhem & Morgan finally arrive at the right bar, with Sasha & Shea just behind. Mayhem and Shea perform the task respectively, while Morgan grabs a drink and Sasha flicks through a battered copy of Gender Trouble she pulled out of her backpack. As both teams finish the task and receive their next clues, Bunny & Coco and Monét & Monique arrive. "How quaint," Coco remarks as she walks in. "This must be the natural habitat of the straights."
https://i.imgur.com/FY5tqrg.png
Mayhem & Morgan... you are team number four!
Morgan: I’m never riding in a Colombian taxi again.
Mayhem: Speak for yourself ;)
Alaska & Willam - 2 (Riley H, Barry)
Monét & Monique - 2 (Liam, Morgan)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Shaun)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Ammi)
https://i.imgur.com/ihhtvOQ.png
Sasha & Shea... you are team number five!
Phil: This must be the lowest either of you has ever placed in anything, right?
Sasha: Oh, no. I came last in an egg and spoon race when I was eight.
Sasha & Shea - 3 (Barry, Liam, Morgan)
Alyssa & Shangela - 1 (Shaun)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Ammi)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (RileyH)
https://i.imgur.com/f1IHT6R.png
The four teams at the back of the pack - Team Haus of Edwards, Team French Vanilla Fantasy, Team Jush Good Friends and Team Brown Bacon - arrive at the gallery. Farrah & Valentina and Kelly & Tammie decide to search for the key, while Alyssa & Shangela and Jasmine & Kennedy, worrying that the other Detour would take too long, choose the cycling task. Farrah begins to panic when the first key she finds unlocks an empty box, and panics even more when Kelly opens a box with a clue in on her first try.
At the Roadblock, Coco and Monique compete for their teams. Monique calls on the Lord to help her through a sporting challenge, and somehow succeeds. However, Coco immediately finds herself struggling, if not least because her wig keeps slipping down her face and blocking her vision. Her problems intensify when Kelly & Tammie arrive from the Detour, looking fresh-faced and ready to throw some steel discs at some targets. Kelly easily does so, and as she and Tammie leave, Bunny orders a double vodka from the bar in the hope that it’ll make this whole thing go quicker. Finally, Coco wins five games, and once Bunny has sobered up, they head towards the Pit Stop.
https://i.imgur.com/vTxPQtS.png
Monét & Monique... you are team number six!
Monét gifts a baffled Phil a sponge.
Farrah & Valentina - 2 (Liam, Ammi)
Monét & Monique - 2 (RileyH, Shaun)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Barry)
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Morgan)
https://i.imgur.com/2cfyTql.png
Kelly & Tammie... you are team number seven!
Phil: So how are you two liking Colombia so far?
Tammie: ...this isn’t Connecticut?
Kelly & Tammie - 3 (Barry, Ammi, Shaun)
Gia & Laganja - 1 (Morgan)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Liam)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (RileyH)
https://i.imgur.com/z3oOqW1.png
Bunny & Coco... you are team number eight!
Coco: I still haven’t found any panettone in this damn city.
Monét & Monique - 2 (Barry, Ammi)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Liam)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Morgan)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (RileyH)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Shaun)
https://i.imgur.com/f1IHT6R.png
At the cycling Detour, Jasmine & Kennedy and Alyssa & Shangela both struggle with their tandem bikes. "Tandem bicycles done ****ed up drag," Jasmine mutters after she and Kennedy fall off for the fourth time in a row. Shangela’s padding, meanwhile, is playing havoc with her ability to ride the bike, and she ends up having to cut a whole in her trousers to get it all out. Meanwhile, Farrah & Valentina keep searching for the right key in the golden room. After a quick break to re-apply their makeup, Farrah ends up chancing upon a key that opens a box with a clue in it. Ecstatic, they head to the next location (albeit with Farrah trailing behind, rubbing her sore hip).
At the Roadblock, Valentina charitably agrees to let Farrah rest, and takes on the task of playing trejo herself. The high spirits don’t last long, as Valentina breaks a nail throwing the first disc. It takes Farrah's encouragement (and the promise that Farrah will pay for the taxi to the Pit Stop) for Valentina to finish the game.
https://i.imgur.com/cuaoIXd.png
Farrah & Valentina... you are team number nine!
Phil: This was a tough leg for you two, it seems.
Valentina: I know… my poor fingernail :(
Farrah: whines
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Barry)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Ammi)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Morgan)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Liam)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (RileyH)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (Shaun)
With the rest of the teams having checked in, Alyssa & Shangela and Jasmine & Kennedy eventually finish the cycling challenge and power through the rest of the leg, both teams determined to stay in the race. Shangela and Jasmine choose to complete the Roadblock respectively, and both finish the task at more or less the same time. Both teams rush out onto the street to hail a cab to the Pit Stop.
At the bottom of the hill, a tired Jasmine pleads with Kennedy to take the cable car all the way up. Undeterred, an energetic Alyssa & Shangela decide to run to the top, counting on the cable car slowing down on its ascent.
All of a sudden, Phil spots a team running towards the mat...
https://i.imgur.com/aMJRuLp.png
Jasmine & Kennedy... you are team number ten!
Phil: Well done! You’ve survived by the skin of your teeth!
Kennedy: We’re still here! Love on me! #teamkenney
Jasmine: Damn I need a blunt.
Bunny & Coco - 2 (RileyH, Morgan)
Gia & Laganja - 2 (Barry, Ammi)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Shaun)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Liam)
Alyssa & Shangela reach the top of the hill a minute later, and are visibly disappointed when they realise that they are last.
https://i.imgur.com/8uykyiX.png
Alyssa & Shangela… you’re the last team to arrive. I’m sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race.
Alyssa: The customs officials got us, gal!
Shangela: Look, we knew coming into this race that no matter what happened, we’d still be family at the end of it.
Alyssa: Yeah. It was shorter than we’d hoped, we loved everything that we got to see and do here in Venezuela.
Phil: Colombia.
Alyssa: Yeah, that.
Shangela: Now go stream A Star is Born!
Alyssa & Shangela walk off into the sunset, before dropping into the splits one last time for good measure.
______________________________________________
Ten teams remain in the race.
Not only did Alyssa & Shangela not get any last-place votes, but nobody even placed them in the bottom half of their rankings :worry: I didn't expect the pitfalls of the format to pronounce themselves so quickly, but hey... it's ~unpredictable~!
I'll post leg 2 details once I've given you all enough time to read the novel I ended up writing for this leg

omg what :( how did that even happen :(
omg what :( how did that even happen :(
The in-universe answer would be that a customs officer thought Shangela's butt pads looked like bags of crystal meth
The actual answer would be a mixture of bad luck (they had a 40% chance of placing second) and being so popular that all of their votes were concentrated at the top of people's rankings, with no votes further down to fall back on in the unlikely event that... well, something like this would happen </3
Your job:
An untimely tragedy may have already befallen us, but the race moves fast and so must we. Once again, please rank the following ten teams from 1st to 10th and post your rankings below:

You'll have until Monday afternoon to vote, at which point I'll calculate the results and keep my fingers crossed that random.org doesn't pick off the fan favourites one by one. Until then, here's a clue as to the teams' next destination:

Also, for the sake of both my sanity and your time, the coming legs will be at least somewhat shorter than this one... I just thought it'd be best to fully introduce each of the teams in this leg (and got slightly carried away) :laugh:

You'd best believe I just tried to change the title to "the gayest Alyssa and Shangela-less crossover event of the century", but was stopped in my tracks by TiBB's character limit

The vote for leg 2 is now closed. Results will follow later tonight...
Previously on The Amazing Drag Race...
- Eleven teams set out from New York City in a race around around the world.
- Jinkx & Dela and Alaska & Willam formed a short-term alliance, which ended when Team Seattle ditched the Race Chasers at the Detour.
- Alyssa & Shangela's behaviour at the airport alienated the other teams, who got the last laugh when the Haus of Edwards got detained in Colombia.
- Gia & Laganja got lucky at a sports bar - not only did Gia complete the Roadblock, but she bagged herself a man named Sebastian as well.
- It was Jinkx & Dela, however, who sped ahead to win the leg. Alyssa & Shangela, after spending most of the day in detention at the airport, came in last and were eliminated.
- Ten teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?
https://i.imgur.com/9MRMC4i.png
Jinkx & Dela, who arrived first in the previous leg, are the first team to depart Bogotá, Colombia. They rip open their next clue.
https://i.imgur.com/u5E4m2W.png
Dela says that they'll to try and stay at the front of the pack for the rest of the race, but that doing so without alliances is going to be difficult. "Instead," Jinkx adds, "we’ll just have to run the other teams over with our car. I’m kidding. We’ll get a taxi driver to do it for us."
The rest of the teams all depart the Pit Stop in the order they arrived, and as the sun rises in Bogotá, the racers head to the airport in taxis. In her and Lady Bunny’s taxi, Coco ponders on the ramifications of travelling to Peru, her namesake country. "Does this make me President? Am I their President now? You know, I’ve always considered branching out into politics," she muses, as Bunny tries to have a nap in the back seat.
As the first six teams to arrive at the airport, Alaska & Willam, Gia & Laganja (and their new friend Sebastian, who Gia somehow manages to book a seat for despite him not having his passport on him), Jinkx & Dela, Mayhem & Morgan, Monét & Monique and Sasha & Shea all secure seats on the first flight to Peru. The other four teams - Bunny & Coco, Farrah & Valentina, Jasmine & Kennedy and Kelly & Tammie - settle for a later flight, much to the annoyance of Team French Vanilla Fantasy. However, the first connecting flight from Lima to Arequipa gets cancelled due to strong winds, and the six teams in the lead find themselves stuck at the airport, forced to take the same connecting flight as the four trailing teams. “We’re all on the same flight,” Mayhem sighs, watching her lead disintegrating. “We’re all on the same flight!” Valentina cheers, buying her fellow trailing teams complimentary iced lattes in celebration. “To the iced coffee crew,” Kelly says, raising her beverage and toasting the new alliance.
Concerned by the looming equaliser, Gia approaches the airline desk and stealthily asks if she, Laganja and Sebastian can be seated at the front of the plane, knowing that it will benefit them in the mad rush through the airport in Arequipa. Farrah & Valentina overhear this and tell the other teams in the newly-formed Iced Coffee Crew, who all then head over to inquire about upgrades. Gia becomes offended by this, accuses the other teams of copying her idea and asks Sebastian to act as her bodyguard. "You can’t do this! We’ll sue you all after the race!" Gia shouts at the other waiting teams, as Sebastian does his best to keep them away from the desk. "Excuse your mouth?" Tammie replies, severely doubting Gia’s knowledge of the American legal system. It’s only when Jasmine offers everyone a joint that the tension is diffused, and, with upgrades secured, the teams go their separate ways.
https://i.imgur.com/9MRMC4i.png
Upon arrival in Arequipa, all ten teams race at once through the airport terminal, with Jinkx & Dela briefly getting separated in all the commotion. "Honestly, I should microchip that woman," says a mildly-out-of-breath Jinkx as she searches the crowd for Dela’s face. Gia & Laganja, who were first off the plane, manage to miss the signs pointing to the taxi rank, and are beaten to it by all four teams in the Iced Coffee Crew. Kelly is quick to take control for her team, fearing that Tammie may somehow ask their driver for directions to Uncle Jack’s Apple Shack in Madison, Wisconsin instead of the Plaza de Armas.
Farrah & Valentina are the first team to arrive at the plaza, and read their next clue.
https://i.imgur.com/HFrdhk2.png
The rest of the teams soon show up, and are all equally confused as to who the mysterious Juanita is. "Maybe she’s the local neighbourhood ho,” Alaska suggests. "I respect that." What teams must figure out is that ‘Juanita’ is not a living person, but the name of a frozen mummy on display in the nearby Museo de Santuarios Andinos.
Monét & Monique decide to walk around the square shouting Juanita’s name. Mayhem & Morgan ask every woman in the vicinity if her name is Juanita. Bunny & Coco do the same, but also ask every woman in the vicinity if she’d be willing to change her name to Juanita for a small cash offering. Eventually, Laganja gets Sebastian to ask around for Juanita in Spanish, and is quickly told to head to the museum. Once the other teams spot Gia & Laganja leaving the square, they all head in the same direction. "These queens all want to be me," Gia says, accusing the other teams of once again copying her. “It’s quite sad actually.”
At the museum, teams find the frozen mummy, and are handed their next clue when they do.
https://i.imgur.com/IoOnVSD.png
The teams race to the local witches’ market, with Gia & Laganja having the edge over the rest of the pack. Jinkx & Dela, still a little flustered after losing each other at the airport, are trailing slightly and determined to catch up. Also at the back of the pack are Mayhem & Morgan who, after having approached seemingly every woman in the entire city in their search to find Juanita, are beginning to tire. "Perk up, bitch! We’re drag queens!" Mayhem says to Morgan in an attempt to encourage her. Team Fresh Tilapia get to the market first and read their clue.
https://i.imgur.com/yKoGBMs.png
The team members who did not complete the Roadblock in the previous leg - Bunny, Laganja, Kennedy, Dela, Tammie, Morgan, Monét and Sasha - all elect to perform this task, except for Farrah, who sits out to let Valentina take charge, and Alaska, who lets Willam do her magic instead. "I’m a natural saleswoman, you know,” Tammie tells the camera proudly. “As a child I once sold Eva Gabor a condo in Santa Monica.” Laganja enlists Sebastian’s help in finding some of the items, and as a result she purchases all items on the list before anyone else. She also has no trouble selling them. "Ayahuasca? Mawma, I buy and sell hallucinogenic plants all the time. This is just another day at the office for me." Laganja ends up making a large profit and hands the money to the vendor for her next clue. Gia is disgusted by everything she sees being sold around her and vows to never visit Peru again.
https://i.imgur.com/9MRMC4i.png
https://i.imgur.com/6XwsQjX.png
As Gia & Laganja wait for Sebastian to hail a taxi, Tammie finishes up the task, having sold more than double the number of items she was required to. As she and Kelly read their next clue, she credits being fluent in Spanish as a factor in helping her win over the locals. This also ends up helping Valentina, who adds some multilingual flourishes to her selling patter and gets the task done in no time at all. In stark comparison, Bunny finds herself struggling to shift any of the produce she has found. "Does nobody in this town want to buy a dried llama fetus from a 56-year old man in a wig?" she asks, surveying the amount of stock she has left. Kennedy decides to perform an impromptu dance routine for her customers, and suddenly sees her items flying off the shelves. Bunny spots this and tries a similar technique, but ends up twisting her ankle and has to do the rest of the task sitting down.
At the fountain, Gia & Laganja find a bench to chill out on and watch Sebastian retrieve their next clue. He emerges from the fountain panting and soaking wet, before giving the clue to Laganja to read (Gia declines as not to interfere with the manicure she got at the end of the previous leg).
https://i.imgur.com/qncUY0G.png
Giving priority to Gia’s manicure, Team Fresh Tilapia choose the less physical Detour, Shear It. The three of them head off to Alpaca World, despite pledging prior to the race to never work with children or animals.
Back at the market, Willam’s new selling tactic has gone a bit astray, and she is spending more time flirting with the men of Arequipa (and telling them to follow her on all forms of social media, as well as OnlyFans and Venmo). Alaska has to eventually step in and tell her to focus on the Roadblock, not on sleeping with as many Peruvian guys in one day as is humanly possible. "That’s Gia’s job," she says with a wink. Jasmine & Kennedy and Monét & Monique are next to receive their clues from the vendor, at which point Willam throws a load of business cards into the crowd of men that has gathered, and buys her and Alaska’s next clue.
At the fountain, Kelly & Tammie, Monét & Monique and Alaska & Willam choose the alpaca-shearing Detour, while Jasmine & Kennedy, owing to Kennedy’s life-long fear of camelids, decide to go white water rafting. Farrah & Valentina also choose to go rafting, if not just because neither of them know what alpaca shearing is and assume it involves riding them. As the three teams arrive at Alpaca World, Gia & Laganja are busy watching Sebastian shear their first alpaca. "Do they do coconut water at this place?" Gia asks, as her Colombian friend wrestles the animal. "I’d really like a coconut water."
Sasha & Shea are next to finish the market Roadblock. As they receive their next clue, Sasha cracks open an armadillo egg to release a cascade of rose petals from inside. "Did you really bring a culturally-specific rose petal reveal to each country, bitch?" asks an exasperated Shea. Morgan also finishes up for her team, and she and Mayhem go off to search for taxis. Dela sees the other teams finishing the task and begins to panic, releasing only her and Jinkx and Bunny & Coco are left at the market. “None of these teams wanted to help us,” Dela says to the camera. “Which is fine. It’s the name of the game after all. But what I’m surprised at is how quickly this race got so cutthroat. People are doing anything to get a win.” As she says this, Bunny is getting her swollen ankle massaged by the Peruvian stall vendor.
“As a teenager I spent three months in the Machu Picchu area shearing alpacas, teaching them French and introducing them to the work of Carole King,” Tammie says as she grips her and Kelly’s assigned animal. Tammie’s prior experience helps them speed through the task, and Kelly makes quick work of washing and dyeing the wool. With no young men around to distract Willam, she and Alaska finish next, followed by Monet & Monique. Gia & Laganja see the other teams leaving and begin to get frustrated with Sebastian’s shearing abilities. After taking over the task, they end up being much faster, and receive their next clue only a few minutes after Monét & Monique do.
https://i.imgur.com/ZZYg5bt.png
https://i.imgur.com/9MRMC4i.png
Farrah & Valentina and Jasmine & Kennedy both arrive at the Steer It Detour, and don white water rafting gear. Before beginning the task, Team French Vanilla Fantasy do a quick fashion show in their life jackets, using the riverbank as a runway. Jasmine tells them to hurry up. Once in their rafts, Farrah & Valentina pick up the speed and pull ahead of Team Jush Good Friends, with Farrah in charge of steering the raft and Valentina in charge of searching for (and translating) the numbers. At the end of the course, Farrah & Valentina input the code first, and are correct. They receive their clue and pick a marked car to drive to the Pit Stop in, as Jasmine & Kennedy finish up the course and do the same.
A car race to the lake ensues between Kelly & Tammie, Alaska & Willam, Monét & Monique, Gia & Laganja, Farrah & Valentina and Jasmine & Kennedy. Along the way, Alaska & Willam take a wrong turn, and have to drive an additional ten minutes to get back on the right road. Monét & Monique blow a tyre, and as Monét changes it, Monique asks God to blow everyone else’s tyres as well. At the lake, Phil spots a car emerging from the vast horizon…
https://i.imgur.com/cuaoIXd.png
Farrah & Valentina… you are team number one!
Phil: I have more good news for you: as the winners of this leg of the race, you have both won a tantric massage from the mayor of Arequipa.
The mayor of Arequipa waves at Farrah & Valentina.
Phil: From last to first!
Valentina: I hope this shows that we’re a force to be reckoned with and the other teams should start taking us seriously. Now, if you don't mind me, I'm off to do some backstroke in the lake to cool off.
Phil: Do you think the Iced Coffee Crew alliance will last beyond this leg?
Farrah: The what now?
Jinkx & Dela - 2 (Liam, Black Dagger)
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Shaun)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Ammi)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (RileyH)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Braden)
Monét & Monique - 1 (Morgan)
https://i.imgur.com/dJULNbs.png
Gia & Laganja… you are the second team to arrive.
However, it is against the rules to use a member of the public to assist you in the race and complete tasks on your behalf.
As a result of receiving help from Sebastian and therefore breaking the rules of the race, Gia & Laganja receive a three-hour penalty, which they must wait out before they are able to check in. Upon hearing this, Gia accuses Phil of hating true love, and goes off to sulk.
https://i.imgur.com/2cfyTql.png
Kelly & Tammie… you are now team number two!
Kelly: Well that was unexpected.
Tammie: As I said to Eva Gabor as she signed the lease on that condo, this is the greatest day of my life bar none.
Kelly & Tammie - 2 (Ammi, Black Dagger)
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Liam)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Shaun)
Gia & Laganja - 1 (RileyH)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Braden)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Morgan)
https://i.imgur.com/aMJRuLp.png
Jasmine & Kennedy... you are team number three!
Phil: You’re moving up!
Kennedy: Did somebody say… moving up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvFlMGW_LnE)?
Jinkx & Dela - 2 (Shaun, Ammi)
Monét & Monique - 2 (Liam, RileyH)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Braden)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Black Dagger)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Morgan)
https://i.imgur.com/9GUWZQJ.png
Alaska & Willam… you are team number four!
Phil: You two are proving to be quite the consistent pairin-
Willam: Hold that thought.
Willam takes Phil’s phone and uses it to check her OnlyFans account for new Peruvian followers.
Willam: Thirty eight. Nice.
Alaska & Willam - 4 (Ammi, Morgan, Braden, RileyH)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Black Dagger)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Shaun)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Liam)
https://i.imgur.com/vTxPQtS.png
Monét & Monique… you are team number five!
Phil: So I hear you two had a little car trouble on the way over here?
Monique: The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Monét: (wearing a sponge as a fascinator) She does indeed.
Monét & Monique - 2 (Ammi, Black Dagger)
Sasha & Shea - 2 (Morgan, Liam)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Braden)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (RileyH)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Shaun)
Sasha & Shea arrive at the fountain and choose the alpaca-shearing task. Once at Alpaca World, they complete the task with little difficulty. In fact, their only issue is a disagreement over which of them will drive to the Pit Stop (Shea ends up getting the honours). Mayhem & Morgan, meanwhile, opt for the river rafting. Although they quickly get to grips with the technicalities of steering the raft, they forget to pay attention to the numbers along the riverbank, and realise at the end of the course that they’ll have to go back and do the whole thing again. On their second attempt, they take extra care to memorise the numbers, and manage to unlock their next clue before heading to the Pit Stop.
https://i.imgur.com/ihhtvOQ.png
Sasha & Shea… you are team number six!
Phil: Sasha, I think you might have dropped something back there.
Phil gestures to a trail of rose petals which seem to have fallen out of Sasha’s pocket on the way to the mat.
Sasha: I have absolutely no idea who those belong to.
Jasmine & Kennedy - 3 (Ammi, Morgan, Braden)
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Black Dagger)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Liam)
Monét & Monique - 1 (Shaun)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (RileyH)
https://i.imgur.com/FY5tqrg.png
Mayhem & Morgan… you are team number seven!
Morgan: I need a drink. Does this lake have a bar?
Mayhem & Morgan - 4 (Shaun, Liam, Black Dagger, RileyH)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Ammi)
Gia & Laganja - 1 (Morgan)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (Braden)
https://i.imgur.com/9MRMC4i.png
Dela finally completes the Roadblock at the market, and she and Jinkx choose to do the alpaca-shearing task. “I hope these alpacas are actually alive,” Jinkx says on the way to the Detour, referring to the dried llama foetuses Dela had to sell at the market. "I’ve had enough of mummified things for one day." The threat of elimination seems to spur Team Seattle on, and they soon finish shearing their alpacas and preparing the wool. On their way out, Jinkx asks if the weaver can rustle them up a nice winter shawl each.
https://i.imgur.com/FQSsaCp.png
Jinkx & Dela… you are team number eight!
Phil: Falling from first to eighth must be tough.
Dela: It is, yes, but one thing we’ve learned from our time on Drag Race is that no matter what, we keep trying and we never give up.
Jinkx: Apart from that time on Drag Race when you gave up.
Dela: Apart from that.
Jinkx & Dela - 2 (Morgan, RileyH)
Sasha & Shea - 2 (Shaun, Black Dagger)
Gia & Laganja - 1 (Ammi)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Liam)
Monét & Monique - 1 (Braden)
An hour and a half has now passed on Gia & Laganja’s penalty. With only one team left to check in, Laganja stands nervously by the mat. Gia and Sebastian, meanwhile, have decided to have a rest in their car together. "I’m sure they’re having a lovely time in there," Phil says over some indeterminable muffled noises coming from the car. "They sound very restful."
Bunny & Coco, meanwhile, finally finish the Roadblock, despite the sight of Bunny’s enlarged ankle putting off customers. For the Detour, they choose to shear some alpacas, assuming that their experience dealing with lots of hair will help them in the task. Coco takes charge of the shearing, while Bunny washes and dyes the wool. As she does so, one of the alpacas starts licking Bunny’s foot. "It’s the most action I’ve had in years," she sighs.
With Bunny & Coco finishing up the Detour, they pick the last remaining car and begin the drive to the Pit Stop. At this point, Gia & Laganja have 45 minutes left before they are allowed to check in. Gia and Sebastian have at last emerged from their car; Sebastian looks a little sheepish and Gia smells like Sebastian’s cologne. Laganja has spent the duration of the penalty getting high.
With five minutes left on the clock, a car appears on the horizon. Out hobbles Bunny, followed by Coco. Tired from running a market stall and shearing alpacas all afternoon, they crawl to the mat.
https://i.imgur.com/z3oOqW1.png
Bunny & Coco... you are team number nine!
Phil: You’re still in the race, congratulations!
Coco: Oh my lanta.
Bunny: We beat out the drama queens! That’s what they get for being young, good-looking and successful!
Bunny & Coco - 2 (Morgan, RileyH)
Farrah & Valentina - 2 (Shaun, Black Dagger)
Gia & Laganja - 1 (Braden)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Liam)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (Ammi)
As Bunny & Coco celebrate, Phil calls Gia & Laganja onto the mat to finally check in. Sebastian tries to join them, but Phil politely gestures for him to stay where he is.
https://i.imgur.com/nAqsPrD.png
Gia & Laganja... you are now the last team to arrive. I'm sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race.
Phil: Any last words?
Gia looks across at Bunny & Coco.
Gia: You’re all still dudes.
Gia walks away from the mat, grabs Sebastian’s arm and heads off to find the nearest lawyer. Laganja follows behind, mouthing "sorry" at the other team.
______________________________________________
Nine teams remain in the race.

That should do the trick...
Previously on The Amazing Drag Race...
- Ten teams raced from Colombia to Arequipa, Peru.
- The four teams at the back of the pack managed to catch up with the others at the airport, and bonded over their success (and iced lattes).
- Gia & Laganja and Kelly & Tammie sold a pretty penny at the witch market Roadblock, although the amount of help Team Fresh Tilapia received from their new Colombian friend Sebastian began to raise eyebrows.
- Team Brown Bacon got to grips with a hairy Roadblock, while Farrah & Valentina went white water rafting to get ahead.
- In the end, Team French Vanilla Fantasy took first place in a close race to the Pit Stop.
- Although Gia & Laganja were the second team to arrive at the Pit Stop, their consistent rule-breaking cost them, and they were issued a penalty that ultimately saw them eliminated from the race.
- Nine teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?

Farrah & Valentina depart first from the Pit Stop and decide not to wait for Kelly & Tammie and Jasmine & Kennedy, with whom they had aligned the previous leg, despite both of these teams departing just a few minutes after them. "We're in a dog eat dog race," Valentina says with a hint of evil in her voice. "I hope we don’t have to go anywhere where they actually eat dogs," Farrah adds, the thought of doing so having mildly upset her.
https://i.imgur.com/seafTW6.png
"Why, Willam, have you ever been to Denmark?" Alaska asks Willam as the two are driven from Lake Salinas to the airport in Arequipa. "I might have done," she replies, trying to recall. "I did hook up with a guy in a bar called The Den in LA, and for all intents and purposes his name might have been Mark. Does that count?"
The rest of the teams depart Peru in the order they arrived at the Pit Stop, although Bunny & Coco are twenty minutes late to leave after having both overslept. Luckily for them, all teams end up on the same flight to Copenhagen, with the 18 hour-long trip (with connections in Lima and Amsterdam) giving Team Legendhairy plenty of time to catch up on their sleep. Monique spends the flight time reading the Bible, while Willam spends it making his way through all of the male flight attendants.
Upon arrival in Copenhagen, the teams taxi to the Round Tower in the city centre. Jinkx & Dela, more determined than ever following their brush with elimination last leg, pay their driver to run red lights, and arrive at the tower first. They look around for a flag with an arrow on it, and quickly find one pointing to a nearby building. After asking a local, they deduce that the next location is Copenhagen University.
The rest of the teams then arrive at the Round Tower in relatively quick succession, except for Bunny & Coco, who only realise after fifteen minutes that they had forgotten to tell their taxi driver where to take them, and have been driving around in circles in the airport parking lot the entire time. Upon rectifying this mistake, they head to the top of the tower and, slightly out of breath, take the last clue. "I shouldn’t have eaten all of that rigatoni on the plane," Coco says, clutching her sides.
Jinkx & Dela arrive at the University first, followed by Farrah & Valentina, Alaska & Willam and Kelly & Tammie. Tammie in particular is excited about being back on a university campus, saying that it reminds her of her time she spent as a ghost at Oxford in the 1790s. There, the teams find their next clue.
https://i.imgur.com/XMfdldO.png
Jinkx decides to become a tour guide for her group, with Farrah, Alaska and Kelly performing the task for their teams. Jasmine & Kennedy, Mayhem & Morgan and Sasha & Shea soon arrive and nominate Jasmine, Mayhem and Shea for the Roadblock respectively. Monét & Monique, who were incorrectly told to go to a different building by a passerby at the tower, show up next, followed by Bunny & Coco. Monét and Coco take it upon themselves to show tourists around the city for their respective teams.
https://i.imgur.com/gpUTHrw.png
Some of the queens use their initiative to find the locations: Jinkx sets aside time for her tourists to use the bathroom at the University while she gets a local to draw a map for her, while Alaska borrows a student’s phone and loads up Google Maps. Kelly decides to pay another student to tag along with her group, pretending to be a tourist, and subtly point her in the right direction of each location. Other queens decide to wing it; Coco chooses to take her tourists to every interesting-looking place within a mile radius and hope that she ends up checking off the three locations along the way, while Monét decides to dance for her group for tips, and soon forgets about the task at hand.
It is Jasmine who perhaps has the roughest time at the Roadblock, however. Despite being committed to the task at hand, she constantly finds herself being stopped by locals and passers-by, who recognise her from her viral videos. “Det er den Ånd I Øøp lady!” says one, as her Danish fans begin to crowd around her and block her path. Jasmine is flattered at first, but when she realises that her fans are more interested in getting selfies than offering her directions to Nyhavn, she snaps and steals a phone out of a particularly enthusiastic teenager’s hand. "And wash your puss!" she shouts in frustration as she leads her group of tourists away, throwing the phone into the canal as she does so.
Kelly’s technique appears to work the best, as she finishes the task before any of the other groups. "It just goes to show that we don’t need any other teams to, well, drag us through this race," she says in what appears to be a slight dig at Farrah & Valentina. Kelly’s quick work allows her and Tammie to read their next clue.
https://i.imgur.com/RBWQgSd.png
Jinkx & Dela are next to finish the Roadblock, followed by Alaska & Willam and Farrah & Valentina. While Shea is away completing the task, Sasha strikes up a conversation in Danish about religious ethics with a friendly university professor. As Mayhem completes the task, Morgan grabs a burger from a stall across the street.
Kelly & Tammie arrive at the Lego cluebox, having run as fast as they could from their taxi. As they do so, Tammie accidentally skids into the cluebox, breaking it in half. "Poor workmanship," she mutters as she steps over the Lego pieces to read one of the several clues that have now fallen out onto the pavement. Members of the crew scramble to put the cluebox back together as Kelly reads the clue aloud.
https://i.imgur.com/HOMT2BG.png
Both thespians at heart, Team Brown Bacon opt for the Bard Detour. Jinkx & Dela arrive at the entrance to Freetown just in time to find that the cluebox has been reassembled, and choose the same task as the team before them. "I haven’t been working out nearly enough to carry that much beer across this city," Dela says, already tired from the hypothetical scenario. "And I haven’t drunk enough beer in my life," adds Jinkx.
https://i.imgur.com/gpUTHrw.png
Alaska & Willam turn up shortly afterwards, and are the first team to opt for the beer-bottling task on Willam’s suggestion. Alaska finds this hilarious and spends the rest of the leg calling Willam "bro" or "dude" at every opportunity. "To be fair," Alaska says, "getting hideously drunk in Copenhagen does sound like a very fun idea right about now." Arriving at the Starbucks down the street from the cluebox, Farrah & Valentina sip their iced lattes as they mull over which option to pick, eventually settling for the beer task as Valentina would like to try out her new Fitbit. Mayhem & Morgan then arrive at the cluebox following a taxi chase with Sasha & Shea (the latter of which had to physically drag the former away from her ethics conversation with the Danish academic). Both teams choose to learn Shakespeare, with Team Petal to the Metal feeling fairly smug that they already have a Danish speaker on their team. Monét & Monique receive their clue next ("as it says in the Book of Genesis, less dancing and more paying attention" Monique warns as their team leaves the Roadblock), followed by Bunny & Coco, the latter of which got lucky in her tour of the city. Jasmine & Kennedy, still being followed by the odd Masters fan, are last to the cluebox.
Upon arrival at Kronborg Castle, Jinkx & Dela and Kelly & Tammie at first seem prepared to (verbally) fight each other to finish the task first, with Tammie trying to psych out Team Seattle by recounting a story about the time she put on a one-woman performance of Hamlet for a gaggle of miners in the middle of the Australian outback. However, once it becomes apparent that each team is struggling in a different area (Jinkx & Dela cannot get to grips with the Danish language, Kelly & Tammie end up seducing the director too much), they decide to help one another, and end up bonding over the fact that they were both in alliances with other teams that ended up falling through. "We can be the Sloppy Seconds alliance," Jinkx suggests. "I mean, I’ve already printed a t-shirt with that written on, so I may as well find some place to use it." Having taken the director’s notes on board and made their performances of the soliloquy less erotic, Kelly & Tammie finish first, with Jinkx & Dela following several minutes later.
https://i.imgur.com/FPQ0mgP.png
Over at the Carlsberg brewery, Alaska & Willam take advantage of the shorter distance they had to travel compared to the teams at the Shakespearean Detour, and make light work of bottling the beer. "I’ve had many years’ experience of holding things of this shape in my hands," Willam says as she does so. "Not necessarily bottles, but… things." Alaska takes the opportunity to sample some of the beers being produced at the brewery. "I’d rather this were vodka," she says, having just downed a pint of beer, "but it’s doing the job all the same." With all five gallons bottled, they grab crates and trolleys and begin the three mile walk to the oldest pub in the city. They spend this time singing 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, although this somehow ends up morphing into a cover of AM to PM by Christina Milian. Upon reaching the pub and distributing the drinks, Alaska praises Willam on not trying to get off with any of the patrons. "I mean, these guys don’t seem particularly loaded" is Willam’s response.
Kelly & Tammie and Jinkx & Dela both head back into the city in their taxis to look for the Pit Stop. Alaska & Willam, having the advantage of proximity, as the pub they finished the Detour at is just around the corner from the castle gardens. Phil waits patiently in the gardens for the first team to arrive…
https://i.imgur.com/2cfyTql.png
Kelly & Tammie… you are the first team to arrive. However, as you broke a cluebox and caused a delay in production, you have received an appropriate penalty…
Kelly begins to worry, fearing another Gia & Laganja situation.
...of ten seconds. Those crew members worked pretty darn quickly to put the Lego pieces back together, after all. Anyway, you’re team number one!
Kelly breathes a sigh of relief.
Phil: For winning this leg of the race, you have won a trip for two from Travelocity to visit my mother! She hasn’t a clue what drag is so she’ll probably be very confused, but hey, anything to get her out of the house.
Tammie: No problem. My music is very popular with the over-70s female demographic.
Alaska & Willam - 2 (Ammi, Shaun)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (RileyH)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Liam)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Black Dagger)
Monét & Monique - 1 (Morgan)
https://i.imgur.com/9GUWZQJ.png
Alaska & Willam… you are team number two!
Willam locks eyes with the Pit Stop greeter, a young man in a national Danish costume.
Willam: You look rich. You’ll do.
Alaska & Willam - 3 (Morgan, Liam, RileyH)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Shaun)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Ammi)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Black Dagger)
https://i.imgur.com/FQSsaCp.png
Jinkx & Dela… you are team number three!
Phil: How would you two sum up your time on the race so far?
Dela: Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity.
Jinkx: That’s deep. Is it from Moana?
Monét & Monique - 2 (Liam, RileyH)
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Black Dagger)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Morgan)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Shaun)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Ammi)
https://i.imgur.com/gpUTHrw.png
Farrah & Valentina prove to be surprisingly strong at beer bottling, at least once Valentina has shown Farrah how to put a bottle cap on. They are cheered on by locals as they take the bottles to the pub, although it’s unclear whether it’s the drag queens, the beer or the prospect of being on TV that the people of Copenhagen are excited by.
https://i.imgur.com/cuaoIXd.png
Farrah & Valentina… you are team number four!
Valentina: You mispronounced "number one".
Phil: No, but good try. Three teams have already checked in.
Valentina: Say it with me… nuuum… berrrr… onnnne… Phil, you’re not saying it...
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Black Dagger)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Liam)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (RileyH)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Shaun)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Ammi)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Morgan)
Mayhem & Morgan and Sasha & Shea once again arrive within a minute of each other, this time at the castle. Not only does Sasha quickly pick up the Danish, but she realises that she also knows the Hamlet extract by heart, and Team WeHo have barely stepped foot into the practice room when Sasha & Shea finish up. Shea watches Sasha intently on the drive to the Pit Stop in case she produces rose petals from any orifice of her body.
https://i.imgur.com/ihhtvOQ.png
Sasha & Shea… you’re team number five!
Sasha tells Shea to take her shoes off, and as she does, rose petals fall out onto the mat.
Shea: They were feeling pretty uncomfortable today...
Sasha & Shea - 3 (Morgan, Liam, RileyH)
Monét & Monique - 2 (Shaun, Black Dagger)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Ammi)
https://i.imgur.com/FY5tqrg.png
Mayhem & Morgan… you’re team number six!
Phil: One better than last time. You have to be happy with that, right?
Mayhem: Six is actually my lucky number. Well, no, it’s 32, but for the sake of this show we can pretend otherwise, right?
Mayhem sheepishly covers up the "I <3 the number 32" tattoo on her arm.
Mayhem & Morgan - 3 (Liam, RileyH, Black Dagger)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Morgan)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Shaun)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (Ammi)
Monét & Monique arrive at the brewery, followed several minutes later by Jasmine & Kennedy (who still have Shakespeare-related PTSD from season seven of Drag Race and have wisely decided to avoid the Hamlet task). While Kennedy reveals she secretly brews her own craft beer in her spare time and therefore knows how to correctly bottle booze, Monét & Monique are at a loss. "Anything that’s not a margarita, I’m a stranger to it," Monét says, watching how the instructor is demonstrating the bottling process. "We should ask Bob the Drag Queen. She drinks beer. Then again, she also votes Republican, so we’d best not." Team MoMo have only filled three bottles by the time Team Jush Good Friends have bottled fifty, and so decide their best course of action is to switch Detours.
https://i.imgur.com/aMJRuLp.png
Jasmine & Kennedy… you’re team number seven!
Phil: I hear you had a spot of trouble completing the Roadbl-
Phil is interrupted by a crowd of screaming Jasmine Masters fans, who storm the mat and demand she calls them junkie *****s. Kennedy produces mace from her backpack and starts spraying it at the crowd, who soon disperse.
Pit Stop greeter: ...welcome to Denmark I guess?
Jasmine & Kennedy - 2 (Morgan, Black Dagger)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Liam)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (RileyH)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Shaun)
Monét & Monique - 1 (Ammi)
Monét & Monique arrive at the castle to find Bunny & Coco already there. Team Legendhairy have already spent half an hour trying to recite the soliloquy, and having the Danish spelled out phonetically for them on scripts is giving them no help. “I need a prompt,” Coco tells the director. "Perhaps I’m a glamorous spinster who hears a knock at the door on a cold dark night, and is informed by a police officer that her toyboy lover has been captured by the Korean mafia," she says, her voice trailing off towards the end of the sentence. “And Bunny can be a prostitute,” she finishes. "No change there then!" Bunny says. As hard as Monét & Monique try, Bunny & Coco’s vivid imagination gives them a helping hand in the task, and the director commends them as much on their use of the scenery as their mastering of the language. Bunny & Coco are handed their next clue, and Monét & Monique receive theirs only a few minutes later. A taxi race to the Pit Stop ensues, and for a second it looks as though Monét & Monique could pip it…
https://i.imgur.com/z3oOqW1.png
Bunny & Coco… you’re team number eight!
Phil: You just keep on surviving, don’t you?
Bunny: We’re like cockroaches! Which is funny, because this wig is absolutely infested with bedbugs.
Kelly & Tammie - 2 (Morgan, Liam)
Sasha & Shea - 2 (Shaun, Black Dagger)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (RileyH)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Ammi)
Monét & Monique’s taxi pulls up and they jog through the gardens, keeping their heads as high as they can lift them.
https://i.imgur.com/xZVefmP.png
Monét & Monique... you’re the last team to arrive. I’m sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race.
Phil: It's tough to say goodbye to any team this early, but you two will definitely be missed from the race. What was your proudest moment doing this together?
Monét: I’d say doing it with this hateful bitch right here.
Monét hugs Monique as she simultaneously wipes the sweat off her partner's forehead with a sponge
Monique: I’m very proud that we did everything in accordance with the holy book.
Monique pulls out a copy of Class with the Countess: How to Live With Elegance and Flair by Luann de Lesseps, from The Real Housewives of New York.
Monique: May the church say amen!
As they walk away through the gardens, Monique reminds Monét that no matter what, she still beat Gia.
______________________________________________
Eight teams remain in the race.
Your job:
As I breathe a sigh of relief that I won't have to keep copying-and-pasting that bloody acute accent in Monét's name for the rest of the game, it's time for another vote. This time, things will be a little different. Legs 4 and 5 will be done as a double round, meaning you can vote twice, once for each leg - it's up to you whether you vote exactly the same both times or if you decide to shake things up between the two. Please rank the following teams from 1st to 8th twice and post your rankings below (if you could, please label which set of rankings are for leg 4 and which are for leg 5. Ta very much):
Alaska & Willam | Alaska & Willam
Bunny & Coco | Bunny & Coco
Farrah & Valentina | Farrah & Valentina
Jasmine & Kennedy | Jasmine & Kennedy
Jinkx & Dela | Jinkx & Dela
Kelly & Tammie | Kelly & Tammie

You'll have until Friday afternoon to vote, at which point I'll do what I usually do, just double. As I said, the next two legs will be posted in the same round, meaning that two more teams could be eliminated come Friday. Until then, and at the risk of this getting too Eurovision-centric, here's a clue to the teams' next destination:

Just watched it now, was pretty fun :love: and a nice distraction until they fall out over something trivial again in 4 months time
Providing I get a move on, legs 4 and 5 will be posted later today!
(voting is closed btw) (and has been for several days lol :love:)
https://i.imgur.com/oNkfH9f.png
Kelly & Tammie are the first team to depart the Pit Stop in Copenhagen, having finished first on the previous leg. During the mandatory rest period, Tammie has managed to acquire a pet fox, and she decides to give their next clue to the fox to read. The fox runs off with the clue in its mouth, prompting a short delay for production to print off a new clue.
https://i.imgur.com/sy8E316.png
Alaska & Willam are next to depart for the airport, with the other teams following in order. Bunny & Coco remain at the back of the pack as the eight remaining teams book their flights to Bologna; the first flight carries Kelly & Tammie, Alaska & Willam, Jinkx & Dela, Farrah & Valentina and Sasha & Shea, while the second flight, arriving an hour later than the first, carries Mayhem & Morgan, Jasmine & Kennedy and Bunny & Coco. The teams on the first flight compare their knowledge of Bologna, and soon come to the agreement that none of them know much more than the sausage of the same name.
The first five teams arrive in Italy and travel by taxi to Bologna’s central public library. All teams agree to split up to search the vast library’s shelves for a clue; this quickly proves to have been a poor strategic decision on Shea’s behalf, as Sasha gets distracted in the gender studies section and forgets about the task at hand. Alaska finds the first clue for her and Willam, and after Jinkx & Dela and Kelly & Tammie choose to honour their newly-formed Sloppy Seconds alliance by helping one another in their search, the other four teams find theirs as well.
https://i.imgur.com/aUbe947.png
"In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln was offered honorary citizenship of the third-smallest country in Europe, San Marino," Phil Keoghan explains, seen stood in front of an old building in the city of the same name. "Letters of correspondence between the President and the Sammarinese government are kept here in the State Archives, which is also where teams will find their next clue." Back in the library, some of the teams seem a little puzzled by their instructions ("I thought San Marino was the made-up country in Frozen," Farrah says in earnest), while Jinkx & Dela appear flustered by the thought of having to drive themselves for the rest of the leg.
As the five teams in front head to the railway station and board a train to Rimini, the remaining three touch down in Bologna. As they do so, Mayhem wonders aloud whether Farrah & Valentina have ever stepped inside a library before today, and she and Morgan impersonate Farrah crying as she tries to turn the pages of a book.
In Rimini ("the birthplace of Leah Remini," Alaska tells her fellow racers), the teams in front take the first five marked cars and begin the 12 mile drive into San Marino. As they enter the Republic, Valentina’s attention is diverted to a Sammarinese McDonald’s, which she spots along the way. Unable to comprehend its existence, Valentina makes Farrah stop the car while she gets out to have a look around the mystical restaurant. “It’s like American McDonald’s, but it’s not!” Valentina exclaims, picking up a Pepsi cup and marvelling at it in bewilderment. After Valentina has done a lap of the establishment, examining every piece of cutlery in sight, Farrah decides that the team may as well share a meal before resuming the race, and the two sit down for lunch.

farrah & tina :worry:
https://i.imgur.com/oNkfH9f.png
Meanwhile, Alaska & Willam arrive at the State Archives and read their next clue. They are followed by Jinkx & Dela, Sasha & Shea and Kelly & Tammie, the latter of whom is still keeping an eye out for Leah Remini.
https://i.imgur.com/Zkd5rwJ.png
Alaska & Willam and Sasha & Shea choose Target, while Jinkx & Dela and Kelly & Tammie, arguably the two more artful teams, opt for Tower and head out of town to the bakery. The crossbow task is nearby, and Team Race Chaser soon get the hang of the practicalities of the challenge. "I’m used to shooting loads," Willam says, adjusting the position of her bow. “Loads of arrows?" Alaska asks inquisitively. "Nope," Willam replies. "Just loads."
Sasha & Shea, however, struggle to hit the first target. "I never did archery at Vassar," Sasha says, before reeling off a list of nineteen extracurricular activities that she was involved in. Meanwhile, across San Marino, Jinkx & Dela and Kelly & Tammie arrive at the bakery and begin decorating their cakes. While Team Seattle choose to pipe to the baker’s exact specification, Kelly & Tammie decide to go for a more improvised approach, one which involves Tammie piping a highly-detailed portrait of Ellen Burstyn onto the side of their cake. Of the two teams, Jinkx & Dela finish first, while Kelly & Tammie are asked to redecorate their cakes and remove references to any movie stars from the 1970s. Back in San Marino City, Alaska & Willam hit their five targets, and both they and Jinkx & Dela receive their next clues.
https://i.imgur.com/loV39YZ.png
By this point, Farrah & Valentina are finishing up their lunch. Out of the corner of her eye, Valentina notices marked cars driving down the road, and realises that the remaining three teams have managed to catch up while they were eating. She tosses her tray across the McDonald’s, hitting a worker on the chin in the process, and drags Farrah out to their car. “We’ve got some catching up to do!” she yells, wiping barbecue sauce off her bottom lip. At the Detour, Bunny & Coco, Mayhem & Morgan and Jasmine & Kennedy all opt for the target practice, while Farrah & Valentina, in the mood for dessert, decide to decorate cakes.
Kelly & Tammie soon finish up their decorating and receive their next clue, followed by Sasha & Shea, who took their time in mastering the art of firing crossbows. At Liberty Square, Alaska & Willam arrive to read their next clue.
https://i.imgur.com/upOayxz.png
"My work as a professional actor has given me years of experience of performing under pressure, so this should be breeze," Willam says as she dons a traditional Sammarinese guard’s outfit. A supportive Alaska wolf whistles in the background. Jinkx & Dela then arrive, with Dela opting to perform the Roadblock. As Willam and Dela learn their routines, Kelly & Tammie arrive, and Kelly decides, against all of her better instincts, to trust Tammie with performing the Changing of the Guard ceremony, with Sasha doing the same for her team ("funnily enough, I did take a class on the national ceremonies of San Marino one semester," she says).
Back at the Detour, Jasmine & Kennedy prove to be surprisingly adept at firing crossbows, with Kennedy explaining that she gained the skill from years of hunting down drag queens who never paid her after making dresses for them. They’re next to get their clue, followed by Bunny & Coco, who claim their advantage is that they were both alive when the crossbow was invented. Mayhem & Morgan both struggle to get the hang of the task, while Farrah & Valentina, the team they had earlier been mocking, hit the ground running once they arrive at the bakery. "I don’t usually consume sugar unless it’s in a skinny iced vanilla mocha cinnamon latte," Valentina explains as she caresses a piping bag. "But for now I’ll make an exception."
Over in the city, Dela finishes the Changing of the Guard performance first, but is told that as she had been holding her rifle the wrong way the entire time, she must start again. This gives Willam a chance to pull ahead, and she executes the routine without flaw on her first attempt. Willam doesn’t even change out of her costume as she and Alaska run across the square to the Pit Stop.
https://i.imgur.com/9GUWZQJ.png
Alaska & Willam… you are team number one!
Phil: For winning this leg of the race, you have won two tickets to the world premiere of the movie Cats!
Willam: ...I’ll pass.
Alaska & Willam - 2 (Ammi, Shaun)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Liam)
https://i.imgur.com/oNkfH9f.png
To Jinkx’s delight, Dela finishes the routine on her second try. Before they run over to Phil on the mat, Dela shows Tammie the correct way to hold her rifle (Tammie had, of course, been riding around on it like a broomstick). At the other corner of the square, Shea complains that Jinkx didn’t offer any help to Sasha, who finishes the task shortly afterwards. "So much for genuine friendships," she grumbles.
https://i.imgur.com/FQSsaCp.png
Jinkx & Dela… you are team number two!
Phil: A not so sloppy second, huh?
Jinkx: Oh, trust me Phil, I'm always sloppy in some place or another. Sometimes you just have to look a little harder to find it.
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Liam)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Shaun)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Ammi)

Sasha & Shea… you are team number four!
Sasha explains that she had an elaborate rose petal reveal planned for this Pit Stop, but her petals were confiscated at Copenhagen Airport.
Bunny & Coco - 2 (Ammi, Shaun)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (Liam)
Jasmine & Kennedy, having received their clue following the Detour, travel a short distance on foot to the Roadblock, and are comforted to see that only four other teams have checked in. Kennedy decides to perform the Roadblock, and credits "the dark underworld of the pageant scene" for her knowledge of how to handle a rifle. Bunny & Coco show up next, followed quickly behind by Farrah & Valentina. Both teams are held up at the Roadblock, however; Bunny struggles to fit into the extra small guard outfit she has been provided with ("she looks like the Incredible Hulk," muses Coco as she studies Bunny’s ripped trousers), while Farrah gets scared by the rifle and has to be coaxed down from a tower by Valentina. Only once Jasmine & Kennedy have checked in does either team begin the actual task.

Jasmine & Kennedy… you are team number five!
Jasmine: I hope MB. hasn't edited me out of this damn episode, jush!
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Ammi)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Shaun)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Liam)
Aware that they are now in last place, Mayhem & Morgan finally finish up the Detour, and make their way to Liberty Square. Morgan chooses to perform the Roadblock for her team, and a three-way battle between the remaining teams ensues. Each competitor takes several tries to execute the ceremony properly, but it is Lady Bunny who finishes first. She rips off her trousers and she and Coco head over to see Phil.
https://i.imgur.com/z3oOqW1.png
Bunny & Coco… you are team number six!
Phil: Here's fifty dollars. Go buy some new clothes.
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Liam)
Farrah & Valentina - 1 (Ammi)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (Shaun)
This leaves Farrah & Valentina and Mayhem & Morgan still to check in. Watching on the sidelines, Valentina says that she regrets the earlier detour to McDonald’s, although it is unknown whether this is because it put her and Farrah behind in the race, or because all the grease from her Big Mac has now given her a poorly stomach. As Farrah struggles to remember the routine, the instructor gives Morgan his seal of approval, and she and Mayhem race over to the mat.

Mayhem & Morgan… you are team number seven!
Mayhem & Morgan have to check themselves in at the Pit Stop as Phil has gone for a piss.
Mayhem & Morgan - 2 (Ammi, Shaun)
Kelly & Tammie - `1 (Liam)
Valentina cheers on Farrah the best she can, and after she finally completes the Roadblock, Team French Vanilla Fantasy walk over to Phil, arm-in-arm and slightly dejected.
https://i.imgur.com/cuaoIXd.png
Farrah & Valentina… you are the last team to arrive.
However, I am pleased to tell you that this is the first of three predetermined non-elimination legs, and you are still in the race.
This means that, at some point in the next leg, you will have to perform a Speed Bump, which is a task that no other team has to perform. Additionally, you will receive no money at the start of the next leg.
Farrah: (crying tears of happiness) That’s actually a good thing. We’d probably just have used it to buy more McDonald's.
Valentina: Speak for yourself! I would have used it at Starbucks!

I'm protesting this
As this was a non-elimination, the results of this leg will be included in determining the results of the next leg (i.e. the placements each team received here will be treated like an extra vote in leg 5)
And because I'm charitable, here's a clue for the teams' next destination. It isn't even a Eurovision reference!

https://i.imgur.com/283WEt9.png
Alaska & Willam are the first team to set off from Liberty Square in the centre of San Marino. They read their next clue as they do so.
https://i.imgur.com/4aceBPk.png
"Screw Piazza Cavour," Alaska says as they begin the drive back to Italy. "I’m still trying to find Leah Remini!"
Jinkx & Dela and Kelly & Tammie set out together a few minutes later, with Kelly suppressing a yawn as she climbs into the driver’s seat of her car. "It’s too early to be thinking about Naples. Or apples. Or nipples. I didn’t sleep much last night, I’m sure you can tell," she says, as Tammie enthusiastically bops along to Italian radio in the back seat. Jinkx & Dela set off on the route first, with Tammie & Kelly following them. One-by-one, the rest of the teams begin the drive to Rimini. Well, except for Farrah & Valentina, who spend half an hour searching the empty streets of San Marino for tourists willing to part with their cash, having been given no money at the start of the leg. "We could always rob McDonald’s," Valentina suggests. It is unclear whether she is being serious or not.
Alaska & Willam are the first to arrive at the bus sign-up sheet in Rimini. Jinkx & Dela follow behind, and it is only upon arrival in Rimini that they realise they somehow lost Kelly & Tammie along the way. Six miles back down the road, Team Brown Bacon are fretting over the flat tyre that has quite literally stopped them in their tracks. "We could try blowing into it," Tammie says, telling her teammate that Allison Janney once complimented her on her lung capacity. Instead, Kelly decides to wait for a replacement car to arrive, hoping that the other teams take long enough that they still manage to get a seat on the first bus.
Alas, they do not; Sasha & Shea and Jasmine & Kennedy arrive to claim the last two pairs of seats on the first bus, with Bunny & Coco and Mayhem & Morgan taking the first seats on the second bus. As the first teams board the bus, Kennedy fantasises about travelling to the fashion capital of Italy, before being reminded by Willam that she’s thinking of Milan, not Naples. "Naples is known for pizzas, the mafia and a bunch of brothels that got buried by a volcano," Willam informs her. Everyone is impressed by her knowledge of Italian cities. As they set off on the five hour bus ride, Sasha tries to get everyone to sing So Emotional by Whitney Houston; Shea soon puts an end to this by jabbing Sasha in the face with her elbow.
Kelly & Tammie receive their replacement car and drive cautiously into Rimini, signing up for places on the second bus. Farrah & Valentina are the last team to sign up for the bus, having been unlucky in their efforts to raise money in San Marino, and having decided not to rob a restaurant and get criminal records in the process. The second bus is much more tense than the first, with each team talking about how desperate they are to avoid elimination this leg (well, except Bunny & Coco, but only because they both fall asleep five minutes into the journey and spend the entire five hours snoring like grizzly bears). Even Tammie, who would have been the first to join in with any song-singing on the first place, spends the journey anxiously biting her nails, and, eventually, her fingers.
The first bus arrives to a sunny Naples afternoon, and the teams on board - Alaska & Willam, Jasmine & Kennedy, Jinkx & Dela and Sasha & Shea - pile out to find the next clue box.
https://i.imgur.com/gLQmzbz.png
https://i.imgur.com/283WEt9.png
All four teams grab taxis to Via Toledo, one of the most popular shopping streets in Naples. There, they run past the Speed Bump that awaits Farrah & Valentina (each team making a whining sound as they run past as a way of imparting their good luck wishes. Or just making fun of Farrah, I don’t know), and open their next clues.
https://i.imgur.com/v2nOAzf.png
Jinkx & Dela, having completed a food-based Detour on the previous leg, decide to avoid making pizzas and instead choose Underground, with Sasha & Shea and Jasmine & Kennedy selecting the same option. Willam, who considers herself a connoisseur of pizza ("at least when I’m stoned enough"), convinces Alaska to go for Perfectly Round. "Like my ass!" Alaska cries out in delight as she reads the name of the Detour. Team Race Chaser arrive at their Detour first, and although they are at first taken aback by the sheer number of rules and regulations they must adhere to in order to pass the task, they decide to get their hands dirty (well, doughy) straight away and make the pizzas as quickly as possible. Although this tactic results in more than a few pizzas that fail the pizza master’s test, they still have enough approved pizzas to put in the oven and get their next clue.
https://i.imgur.com/oYwTBac.png
At the underground tunnels, meanwhile, Jasmine & Kennedy are the first team to start the task, having arrived before Jinkx & Dela and Sasha & Shea. Once Jasmine has finished complaining that the hard hat she has been assigned doesn’t fit her head very well, she and Kennedy begin searching the tunnels for the marked items they are required to find. They do this in a fairly short amount of time, but become stumped when they get back to surface level and have to figure out the order that they found the items in. As Jink & Dela head down into the tunnels, they decide to make up a song to remember the order, but they soon forget this when Jinkx has to remind Dela to stay on key. Sasha & Shea then head down, and soon all three teams are back on the surface, trying to find the correct order of the twenty items. Eventually, Jasmine & Kennedy get the order right, and are handed their next clue before Jasmine can say "this helmet is hurting my ears".
The second bus, carrying a now-awake Bunny & Coco, Farrah & Valentina, Kelly & Tammie and Mayhem & Morgan, arrives in Naples at last. With Farrah & Valentina having borrowed money from the other teams on the bus, all teams travel by taxi to Via Toledo, where Team French Vanilla Fantasy encounter their Speed Bump.
https://i.imgur.com/uBorsoi.png
"We can do this," Valentina confidently tells Farrah. "After all, we’re both works of art. I’d hang me slightly closer to the front, but still." As they head down the street to the gallery, the other three teams choose between Detours. Mayhem & Morgan and Kelly & Tammie opt for Underground, while Bunny & Coco decide not to go down into the ancient tunnels, owing to Coco’s debilitating fear of being within twenty feet of anything older than she is. "I hope I find a good panettone while I’m here," Coco says in the taxi to the pizzeria, grabbing Bunny’s arm to get her attention. "Keep an eye out for places that might do a good panettone."
Meanwhile, Sasha & Shea and Jinkx & Dela have completed the Detour, and they, along with Alaska & Willam and Jasmine & Kennedy, have been and gone at the Piazza Nazionale, where their next clue awaited them.
https://i.imgur.com/FMUFYjH.png
Sasha gets excited by the historical possibilities of visiting Pompeii, while Alaska says she can’t wait to look around the brothels that Willam mentioned earlier. Meanwhile, Farrah & Valentina finish up their Speed Bump at the gallery, with Valentina having somehow convinced Farrah that only one person can do the task, and that it should be Farrah. Valentina takes the time to spread out on a chaise longue on the other side of the room, and asks a museum guide if she can take a photo for Instagram so she can post it after the race. Once Farrah has completed the task and Valentina has FaceTuned the photo, they head back onto the street to choose their next clue; they decide to make pizza.
At the tunnel Detour, Mayhem & Morgan seem to take a more serious approach compared to Kelly & Tammie, the latter of whom spends a good five minutes touching the tunnel walls to see if anything will cave in, and being mildly disappointed when nothing does. It is therefore no surprise that Team WeHo finish the task first, and despite Kelly’s hardest attempts to copy the other team, the Brown Bacon girls are left behind to try and find the correct order. Over at the pizzeria, Bunny & Coco don’t seem particularly happy to see Farrah & Valentina arrive. "I was hoping they’d accidentally get locked in the gallery overnight," says Bunny as she rolls out some dough. Valentina, meanwhile, applies some gloves and gets to work.
https://i.imgur.com/283WEt9.png
Alaska & Willam arrive at the entrance to Pompeii first and open their next clue.
https://i.imgur.com/RRcmC2p.png
Alaska takes on Roadblocking duties for her team, joking that the crux of the task is just "fancy tipping". Jasmine & Kennedy soon arrive, followed by Jinkx & Dela and Sashea, with Jasmine, Jinkx and Shea opting to do the task respectively. Alaska uses her surprisingly strong knowledge of Roman mythology to finish first, with the other three not far behind (despite Jasmine inviting Neptune to go and smoke weed with her mid-task). Each team is then handed their next clue, along with a surprise.
https://i.imgur.com/HioQmWI.png
"Look, it’s you!" Shea says to Sasha, holding the egg up against her head to compare the likeness. The four teams each hail taxis from Pompeii back into Naples, with Alaska & Willam waving one down so fast that you’d think the volcano had begun erupting again. At the castle, located on the seafront in Naples, Phil spots a car pulling up and a team running out…
https://i.imgur.com/9GUWZQJ.png
Alaska & Willam… you are team number one!
Phil: Well done on winning two legs in a row! And the good news doesn’t stop there; for coming first in this leg of the race, you have won a lifetime supply of eggs! What do you think about that?
Alaska: Well... to quote Gia Gunn, is there no budget this time around?
Alaska & Willam - 2 (previous leg placement, Liam)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Shaun)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Ammi)

Back at the pizza place, Bunny & Coco pay extra attention to the wording of the document they have to use (“who knew the ability to read would come in handy?" Bunny asks, perhaps assuming that Farrah & Valentina do not possess this skill). Team Legendhairy manage to make ten pizzas before the French Vanilla Fantasy girls, and they leave the pizzeria in the direction of their next clue with tomato sauce smeared across their faces like tribal war paint. At the same time, Mayhem & Morgan are on their way to the Piazza Nazionale, while Kelly & Tammie realise that they are making little progress with the tunnel Detour and decide to try their hand at pizza-making instead. Team Brown Bacon arrive at the pizzeria as Farrah & Valentina throw yet another rejected pizza into the bin, with Farrah making the appropriate whining sound effect to go along with it.
Mayhem & Morgan and Bunny & Coco both receive their next clues at the piazza, and head towards Pompeii. In their taxi, Coco pretends to interview Bunny, asking her what it was like to have the eruption of Mount Vesuvius spoil her bat mitzvah. Upon arrival, Mayhem and Coco opt to search for the Roman gods respectively; after flirting with the statues in exchange for information, Mayhem finishes the Roadblock first, followed by Coco, who spends ten minutes nosing around the brothel part way through the task. Both teams receive their next clues, although it is only when they have arrived back in Naples that Mayhem & Morgan realise that they left their egg back in Pompeii. They turn around in the other direction and race back towards where they left their egg, giving Bunny & Coco the chance to squeeze ahead.
https://i.imgur.com/z3oOqW1.png
Bunny & Coco… you are team number five!
Phil: That's your best placement yet.
Coco: (counting on fingers) So at this rate, we should reach first place by leg... 27!
Bunny: That sounds doable.
Bunny & Coco - 2 (Ammi, Liam)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (previous leg placement)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Shaun)
https://i.imgur.com/FY5tqrg.png
Mayhem & Morgan… you are team number six!
Phil: Well done on beating your fifth episode curse!
Mayhem: This is unprecedented territory.
Morgan: I wasn't even aware that TV shows have more than five episodes, to be honest.
Sasha & Shea - 2 (Ammi, Shaun)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (previous leg placement)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Liam)
The pizza-making is not going well for either team, but Kelly & Tammie’s decision to make up a song, ‘Margherita Man, Send Down Your Cheese’, gives them the determination to finish the task. It gives Farrah & Valentina the determination to stick dough in their ears, which soon makes them run out of dough to actually make pizzas with. Eventually, Kelly & Tammie finish the Detour first, with Farrah & Valentina leaving approximately ten minutes later. As Farrah & Valentina begin the drive to Pompeii, Valentina dons sunglasses and a silk headscarf, like a glamorous Italian woman from the 1950s. "Do I look like Sophia Loren?" she asks Farrah. "Is she the woman from Modern Family?" Farrah replies.
At the Roadblock, Valentina and Kelly choose to search the site for the twelve gods. Kelly imagines what it would be like if Laganja were still here and says "yes gawd" whenever she spots a statue, which amuses her if no one else. Valentina, meanwhile, compliments each god on their outfit, and starts a conversation with the goddess Ceres about style advice. The Roadblock is more a matter of luck than anything else, and it becomes apparent that luck is firmly on Kelly’s side. She and Tammie, who has spent the duration of the task eating volcanic dust, depart for the Pit Stop, egg in tow.

Kelly & Tammie… you are team number seven!
Tammie coughs up some dust.
Mayhem & Morgan - 2 (previous leg placement, Ammi)
Jasmine & Kennedy - 1 (Liam)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Shaun)
Farrah, Valentina and their egg make their way to the Pit Stop, aware that this probably isn't going to be the second non-elimination leg in a row.
https://i.imgur.com/HksSiuG.png
Farrah & Valentina… you’re the last team to arrive. I’m sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race.
Phil: This would certainly have been a less interesting show if it weren't for you two.
Valentina: Wait, this was being filmed?
Stunned by this revelation, Valentina goes off to get an iced latte, while Farrah goes off to find somewhere to turn the egg into an omelette.

...Team Brown Bacon..:lovedup:...why do they remind me of Eddy and Patsy so much...
To shamelessly get this thread to the next page, here are some lovely photos of Madrid!

(this is apparently an ancient Egyptian temple in Madrid. I'm as confused as you are)
https://i.imgur.com/OAwhdjv.png
As dawn breaks in southern Italy, Alaska & Willam are first to depart the Pit Stop.
https://i.imgur.com/C1Tmi5M.png
All teams arrive at the airport in the order they finished the previous leg, and manage to all board the next available flight out of Naples, putting the seven remaining teams on an equal playing field. Kelly, who is beginning to feel the exhausting effects of the race, tries to get some sleep on the plane.
Upon arrival in Madrid, the teams travel by taxi to the monastery, with many of the queens speculating as to what the secret cookies could be. "If there are no drugs involved, I’ll be highly disappointed," Willam says rather firmly. Alaska reminds her that they are travelling to a nun’s convent, and that uncovering an illegal narcotics ring operating from inside a nunnery would be an unlikely task for the producers of The Amazing Race to assign the teams.
Indeed, there are no drugs involved in the task, unless you happen to be addicted to shortbread biscuits. Jasmine & Kennedy are the first team to arrive at the plaza where the monastery is located, followed by Mayhem & Morgan, but both teams spend several minutes wandering aimlessly around the outside of the building, unsure as to how they are supposed to order cookies from inside. The rest of the teams then quickly show up, and it is Jinkx & Dela who find the hidden alleyway where the cookie-ordering window is located. Dela orders the cookies for her team, and a nun’s hand appears from the dark to hand them their next clue.
https://i.imgur.com/mU6vYAK.png
Tammie, proficient in the Spanish language as she is, notices a sign which says that the window closes at one o’clock, as this is when the nuns go for siesta. Rather than making them want to hurry (the teams arrived in Madrid late-morning), Kelly suggests that they both go for a siesta as well. While Team Brown Bacon find a spare room in the monastery to have nap, the other teams collect their cookies and their clues. For the Detour, Jinkx & Dela, Bunny & Coco and Sasha & Shea decide to Find the Note, while Alaska & Willam, Jasmine & Kennedy and Mayhem & Morgan choose to Find the Net. Kelly & Tammie, who opted to Find a Bed for the afternoon, eventually wake up and, feeling somewhat energised, head to the football stadium.
Despite the mental image of drag queens taking penalties in one of the world’s most famous football grounds being one that could strike fear into the hearts of sports fans and homosexuals alike, Alaska & Willam end up being quite good at the Detour (I won’t repeat any of Willam’s comments during the task, as I’ve already written enough balls puns for one game). Mayhem & Morgan also get the hang of it, or at least they do eventually after Mayhem’s boot comes flying off and it collides with the goalkeeper’s face. Jasmine & Kennedy do not find the challenge coming as naturally to them; although Kennedy manages to score a few to begin with, Jasmine isn’t able to connect, and ends up wheezing in all possible directions while Kennedy does most of the hard work.
and no, the secret Spanish nun cookies are not something I made up (https://boingboing.net/2015/05/13/how-to-buy-secret-cookies-bake.html)
https://i.imgur.com/OAwhdjv.png
Over at the Royal Palace, a seemingly-easy task soon proves to be rather difficult, as the teams are given no guidelines on how to tune the instruments, and each one must be tuned differently. "I wish Thorgy Thor were here. That’s a sentence nobody has ever said before," Bunny says to herself as she begins arbitrarily fiddling with a cello. Sasha & Shea think at first that they’ve managed to tune all four instruments correctly, and are surprised when the string quartet immediately tells them to try again. Of those at the musical Detour, it is only Jinkx & Dela who are able to finish in a short amount of time, leaving just as a bleary-eyed Kelly & Tammie arrive. "It’s a lot trickier than it looks," Jinkx calls out to the other team as they read their next clue, still just-about-honouring their alliance in the process.
https://i.imgur.com/yEaNAMd.png
At the Royal Post Office, Jinkx & Dela choose not to use the U-Turn (which would enable them to force any team they're ahead of to go back and complete the other Detour, slowing them down in the process), deciding that it’s still too early in the race to deliberately alienate other teams. "Plus," Dela adds, "we’re in the lead, so we don’t have to." Alaska & Willam show up next and also decide to leave the U-Turn board untouched, though Willam is mildly tempted "for the sake of chaos". A montage of the four queens swallowing grapes, set to silly music, follows, and the teams then open their next clues.
https://i.imgur.com/hly84dv.png
Mayhem & Morgan are the next team to depart the football Detour, while Bunny & Coco are next to leave the musical Detour (where both Sasha & Shea and Kelly & Tammie continue to struggle). The two teams agree that one ought to use the U-Turn, and it is Mayhem & Morgan who volunteer to get blood on their hands. "We’re past episode five now, so as far as we’re concerned, the gloves are off," Morgan says, taking off the actual gloves she’s wearing as a visual aide. Deciding that Sasha & Shea pose the greatest competition of the three trailing teams, Mayhem & Morgan choose to use the first U-Turn on them. "Rose petals won’t help you now, bitch," Mayhem says as she sticks Team Petal to the Metal’s photo on the board. Both they and Bunny & Coco then set off towards the next location.
Corral de la Morería is one of the most famous flamenco tablaos in the world, let alone in Spain, and is where Alaska & Willam and Jinkx & Dela arrive to find a Roadblock awaiting them.
https://i.imgur.com/J9ULQR1.png
Alaska and Dela choose to dance for their dinner - sorry, their teams - and a battle between two All Stars soon ensues. The two queens revel in trash talking the other, which is quite amusing considering they’re both dressed in flamenco costumes and holding massive fans. As Dela tries to compare the sizes of the props they have been given, Alaska yells "do not attack my fan, bitch!" in her best Mimi Imfurst voice. Ultimately, it is Dela who triumphs, but only because the audience turns against Alaska when she licks Dela’s face mid-performance.
https://i.imgur.com/sHts1tA.png
As Jinkx & Dela travel to the Pit Stop, and Alaska puts on a second flamenco performance that doesn’t involve as much tongue-to-skin contact, Jasmine & Kennedy arrive at the Double U-Turn. Unsure where they stand in the leg so far, they decide to U-Turn Kelly & Tammie, in the hope that their decision to have a nap at the monastery put them behind. "Let’s hope that works," Kennedy mumbles with a grape in her mouth. Meanwhile, Bunny & Coco and Mayhem & Morgan arrive at the flamenco hall. Coco decides that she can put on the more convincing melodramatic one-woman dance performance and performs the Roadblock for her team, while Morgan spares Mayhem the embarrassment of her shoe flying off for the second task in a row and decides to learn the dance. Alaska receives her and Willam’s clue as the other two teams mark out their routines.
At the Pit Stop, amidst a sea of tourists, Phil spots a team running towards him; one of them is still wearing their flamenco heels…
https://i.imgur.com/FQSsaCp.png
Jinkx & Dela… you are team number one!
Phil: For winning this leg of the race, you have won a trip for two from Travelocity to Cairo!
Jinkx: Wow, Cairo!
Phil: That's right, exotic Cairo, Illinois, home to the A. B. Safford Memorial Library! And you can enjoy that after the race.
Alaska & Willam - 2 (Morgan, RileyH)
Jinkx & Dela - 2 (Liam, Black Dagger)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Ammi)

Alaska & Willam… you are team number two!
Phil goes off to take a dip in the fountain, leaving the teams to check themselves in. Alaska is disappointed as she wanted to try and lick him.

Jasmine & Kennedy - 2 (Morgan, RileyH)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Black Dagger)

At the flamenco hall, Morgan’s athleticism wins the day over Coco’s flair for melodrama, and Team WeHo receive their clue next. Jasmine & Kennedy then arrive, and as Kennedy squares off flamenco-style against Coco, Jasmine and Bunny discuss what went on at the U-Turn. Sasha & Shea, having found the instrument-tuning task extremely difficult, arrive at the U-Turn before Kelly & Tammie, and are annoyed to see that Bunny & Coco targeted them. “They’re just jealous that we still have our original hips,” Sasha says as they make their way to the football stadium. Kelly & Tammie are the last to show up at the U-Turn, and once Tammie is done trying to U-Turn a pigeon that she spotted, they head in the same direction.

Mayhem & Morgan… you are team number three!
With Phil absent, Mayhem & Morgan twiddle their thumbs. Morgan whistles, then stops for a bit, then starts again.
Sasha & Shea - 2 (RileyH, Liam)
Alaska & Willam - 1 (Black Dagger)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Ammi)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Morgan)
https://i.imgur.com/z3oOqW1.png
Bunny & Coco… you are team number four!
With Phil absent, Coco goes off to find some Spanish panettone and Bunny goes off to troll Bianca Del Rio on Twitter.
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Black Dagger)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (RileyH)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Ammi)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Liam)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (Morgan)
https://i.imgur.com/aMJRuLp.png
Jasmine & Kennedy… you are team number five!
With Phil absen... look, you don't need me to tell you that Jasmine & Kennedy went off to smoke a joint, do you?
Jasmine & Kennedy - 2 (Ammi, Black Dagger)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (RileyH)
Jinkx & Dela - 1 (Morgan)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Liam)
Arriving at the football stadium one after the other, Sasha & Shea and Kelly & Tammie realise that they are the last two teams. As Sasha & Shea arrived first, they get to complete the Detour, and therefore receive their next clue, before Kelly & Tammie. Both teams then head to the Royal Post Office, where they guzzle grapes, and then to the flamenco hall. On the way, both decide to ignore the "travel on foot" part of the clue; Sasha & Shea’s taxi gets stuck in traffic, while Kelly & Tammie’s decision to steal bikes from strangers and ride them through the busy streets ends up getting them there faster (in place of the stolen bikes, Tammie leaves two signed copies of her festive album 'A Very Available Christmas', which she considers to be worth “much more than any bewheeled contraption”). Tammie also completes the Roadblock, drawing on her experience as an Andalusian flamenco dancer in a former life to do so. Sasha and Shea arrive, and select Shea to do the task, just as Kelly & Tammie are heading out the door. Shea then proceeds to dance the fastest flamenco routine ever seen in an effort to catch up, and a race to the Pit Stop ensues.

Kelly & Tammie… you are team number six!
Phil has returned from his paddle in the fountain, and decides that as Kelly & Tammie and Sasha & Shea each ignored part of the clue by not walking to the flamenco hall, it would be pointless to penalise them both. Kelly responds by kissing him (in your face, Alaska!), while Tammie responds by gifting him a signed copy of the follow-up album to 'A Very Available Christmas', entitled 'All of These People Answered My Calls on Martin Luther King Jr. Day And This Was the Result'.
Bunny & Coco - 2 (RileyH, Liam)
Kelly & Tammie - 1 (Morgan)
Mayhem & Morgan - 1 (Black Dagger)
Sasha & Shea - 1 (Ammi)
https://i.imgur.com/lodoKKO.png
Sasha & Shea… you’re the last team to arrive. I’m sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race.
Sasha: I can't say I’m not disappointed, because we’re both so used to doing well in Drag Race, and even in everyday life, that being eliminated almost feels like a failure. But deep down inside I know it isn’t.
Shea: You’re right. We’ve still got cause for celebration! Which reminds me...
Right on cue, Shea pours red paint, tar and bird feathers onto Sasha’s head. Sasha screams and wipes paint from her eyes as Shea runs off through the park.
Shea: Who likes throwing rose petals now, bitch?
Shea is restrained by two Spanish police officers who happen to be passing by.
Phil: That was... much more violent than I was expecting.

Six teams remain in the race.
Your job:
Just like a few rounds ago, legs 7 and 8 will be done as a double round, meaning you can vote twice, once for each leg. Again, feel free to use the same rankings twice, or post two completely different sets of rankings, as you please. Please rank the following teams from 1st to 6th twice, one for leg 7 and one for leg 8, and post your rankings below:
Alaska & Willam | Alaska & Willam
Bunny & Coco | Bunny & Coco

You'll have until early on Friday to do this, at which point I'll werk it all out. Until then, here's a clue for where the teams will be kicking off the second half of the race, and by 'clue' I mean I've literally spelled out the name of the country!

It took me longer than I’d like to admit to get that clue, sigh

I don't blame you, the country of Lettersykes is a pretty obscure one after all

I go away for one week and the entire cast of season nine perishes :love:
The next leg will be up tomorrow, just in case anyone thought I'd forgotten about this :laugh:
...it all just gives us more time with the remaining ladies, MB...and a timer can’t be applied to perfection or to the gayest crossover event of the century...:love:...
...mind you, Shaun goes away again for one week and....
...I don’t know if he’s away again actually...
Warning: the amount of effort I put into writing this leg is vastly disproportionate to the amount of effort it would actually take to travel to Rwanda.
https://i.imgur.com/C0mTGTg.png
Jinkx & Dela are the first team to set out from the Pit Stop.
https://i.imgur.com/GFm8wxu.png
They’re also the first to figure out that the flag is that of Rwanda, although not before Jinkx tries to wrestle a bull. Alaska flounces around the bullring in a fitting bolero jacket.
Next, all teams travel to Kigali via Amsterdam (which is a bit weird considering Spain is closer to Rwanda than the Netherlands, but hey, that’s how airlines work). At the airport, Kelly & Tammie vow to get their revenge on Jasmine & Kennedy, who U-Turned during them the previous leg. Over to the side, Mayhem & Morgan express their relief that Sasha & Shea (who they themselves U-Turned) are no longer around to confront them.
Once they arrive, teams travel to the Kigali Genocide Memorial to pay their respects to the victims of the 1994 Rwandan genocide before they continue with the race. Let's just say it puts squabbling about who U-Turned who and why into context. This isn't a funny bit so I'll move on.

The teams all drink their milk, except Kelly & Tammie who somehow manage to turn the milk into a Long Island iced tea and a pint of blood respectively. Jasmine points out that the milk is the first drink she's had in a decade that she hasn't blended raw cannabis into first.
https://i.imgur.com/XeW4BPv.png
The teams then begin the drive into the Rwandan countryside. As Willam drives for her team, Alaska uses the journey time to record and release an entire new album in the back seat, having contacted several local musicians to feature on it using a phone she found discarded at a gas station and whatever the Rwandan version of the Yellow Pages is.
Having arrived at Volcanoes National Park in relatively close proximity to one another, the teams observe a newborn gorilla naming ceremony similar to Rwanda's annual Kwita Izina ceremony. Afterwards, they must each sign up to sponsor one of the baby gorillas, for which they will receive a gorilla soft toy which they must carry with them for the rest of the leg. Alaska christens her toy 'Lil Poundape'.
https://i.imgur.com/PuDU1Zb.png
Five of the teams (Alaska & Willam, Jasmine & Kennedy, Mayhem & Morgan, Bunny & Coco and Jinkx & Dela) choose Herbal Tea, while Kelly & Tammie, the latter of whom believing that the multiple claims she has made to thrones of foreign kingdoms in the past will help her, opt for Royalty. Team Race Chaser speed through their Detour (and resist the temptation to lace the tea with anything), while Bunny & Coco spend more time requesting members of the village to make them cups of tea than vice versa, slowing them down significantly.
https://i.imgur.com/soXu960.png
Alaska & Willam... you are team number one!
https://i.imgur.com/9GUWZQJ.png
Phil: For coming first in this leg in the race, you two have won not just your soft toy gorilla, but the opportunity to name a real life Rwandan gori-
Willam: Willam. We're naming it Willam.
Alaska hands Phil a copy of her new album, which she has somehow already managed to get distributed in CD format.
Alaska & Willam - 3 (Ammi, RileyH, Liam)
https://i.imgur.com/aMJRuLp.png
Jasmine & Kennedy... you are team number two!
Jasmine & Kennedy - 2 (Ammi, RileyH)

Jinkx & Dela - 2 (Ammi, RileyH)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Liam)

Mayhem & Morgan... you are team number four!
Mayhem & Morgan - 2 (RileyH, Liam)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (Ammi)
https://i.imgur.com/2cfyTql.png
Kelly & Tammie... you are team number five!
Kelly & Tammie - 2 (Ammi, Liam)
Bunny & Coco - 1 (RileyH)
https://i.imgur.com/z3oOqW1.png
Bunny & Coco... you're the last team to arrive.
However, this is the second of three pre-determined non-elimination legs, and you are still in the race. This means you'll have to complete a Speed Bump during the next leg, and you will receive no money either.
Bunny: Receiving no money? The next leg sounds just like an Aja tour!

Six teams remain in the race.
