Episode 1: My Only Goal 

... standing on Dodge Island, Miami ... 

Phil Woods: Here I stand, on Dodge Island in Miami, waiting for the arrival of the nine teams that will be competing in the iAmaz1ng Race 3! This season, you will see some things you have seen in past seasons and you will see some things that are new to the game! More on that later... let's meet the teams! 

... cars begin to pull up and teams exit ... 

Gabe: Whats up guys! I'm Gabe and I was on a couple seasons of iSurv1vor and the i1 Challenge: The Inferno. My only goal here is to not be the first one gone! 

Kyle:  I am Kyle, partners with Gabe. We met on the Inferno and decided to represent the Inferno here on the iAmaz1ng race 3. I think we will do good... as long as Phil Woods doesn't tell me to sit my ass down! 

Tanya: I am Tanya... and this is my partner, Fabi. Um, he is still drunk from the wine fest we had to pick him up at so I will talk for us. We are the World Travelers and I think we have what it takes to win this game! 

Noah: Hey guys! It's Noah. Here to do better than I did in the Inferno! This is my partner Britti. She won the Inferno, so I am hoping with her skill, I can win a i1 game! 

... a pink limo arrives, two ladies in fur coats arrive ... 

Amanda: Where we've been, who we were, doesn't matter... 
Kim: We are back... 
Amanda: The Queens are here...
Kim: And ready to win the iAmaz1ng Race!

... more cars arrive ... 

Katz: Hey guys! I'm Katz! I know. You are already hoping I go home first but my track record proves that I am pretty good at this game and I am going to be here for a while. 
Derby: Yea, what she said... 

Felix: My girl Sassy and I decided we were going to run this race together for a little redemption for Sassy. 
Sassy: In my original season, I was philiminated with Samantha.. I don't want to relive that moment again this season!

.. a Lincoln Continental pulls up ... 

HLC: Hello. My name is Heather and I am about to bugger my way around the fetching world with Carlos. 
Carlos:  I wanted to play... and Heather told me I could be in Survive the House Season 3 if we were partners! 

... the last car arrives ... 

Patia: Ginny and I are here to show the rest of the racers that two girls can win this race! So far the winners have been one guy / one girl and two guys! We are here to show them that two girls can win this race! 

Debbie: We're back! The #BlackSheep are back! We had an awesome time in Season 1 and 2 and we were invited back for Season 3 since we were fan favorites! Hoping to finally win so I an retire from racing around the world with jared. I love him but I got to settle down soon. 

Phil Woods: Teams, come on in... Welcome to Dodgers Dock located in Miami, Florida. This is man made dock that is mostly used for commercial activity and it is the start of iAmaz1ng Race 3. 

... the teams clap ...

Phil Woods: Before I give you your first clue, I want to tell you about Season 3 of iAmaz1ng Race so you know what you are getting yourself into. This season will be a little different than seasons past. There are no Non-Elimination legs, minus the first leg. There are PIT STOP ELIMINATION CHALLENGES though. If you arrive last at a pre-determined pit stop, you will be required to complete the PIT STOP ELIMINATION CHALLENGE in order to stay in the game. If you succeed, you will continue racing. If you fail, you will be eliminated from the race. 

Amanda: So..... like what if no one gets eliminated? Do we race forever til we get to a final 3? 

Phil Woods: good question... no. There are only two Pit Stop Elimination Challenges... meaning up to five teams could make the final leg! 

Katz: I like... anything that betters my chances of making the end of a game I like... 

Phil Woods: let's get started... here is first clue.   ... Phil Hands each team a clue ...   the world wide web awaits... ready set.. Go! 

Patia: Phil says go, and we are standing on this dock with all these numbered cargo freights and I'm just confused... I never left my wilderness. I am not sure what is going on. 



Carlos: Alright, so we need to pick a cargo box and see if it has our backpacks in it... something has a punishment and something has a reward. Ok, pretty simple. 
HLC: Carlos, where are our bookbags? How are we supposed to race without our stuff?

... teams begin checking cargo boxes ... 

Ashley: So we go in cargo box 11 and we didnt find our bags but we found a clue envelope. 
Katz: We won't know if it is a prize or punishment until we check in with Phil. This isn't round three, so it has to be a prize! 

Debbie: The first one we went to was 10 and there was an clue inside the box but no luggage. This may be the prize or it may be the punishment. 
Jared: And Katz and Ashley found the other one... so one of us is good, the other... not so much.

Phil Woods: All teams have found their luggage and their next clue...

... in taxis ... 
Patia: that is a cute mascot, wonder who's mascot that is?
Ginny: ... silence... 
Patia: Taxi driver... can you take us to the home of this cute little fella.
ginny: ... silence ... 

Carlos: I knew exactly where to go. Marlin's Park. I push HLC in the back of a taxi and we were off. 

... teams begin arriving at Marlin's Park and receive their next



Phil Woods: The following people have stepped up to complete this roadblock: Carlos, Fabi, Derby, Amanda, Kyle, Debbie, Patia, Britti. 

Gabe: I can't hit it.
Kyle: That's what she said! 
Gabe: Shut up Kyle! 

Phil Woods: Carlos is the first one to hit two homeruns and receives his next clue... 



Phil Woods: Amanda and Ashley get their two homeruns shortly there after... 

Amanda; As soon as I saw the clue, I knew we were flying to St. Louis to this nightclub that I went to once. It was called the Glorious Rooster or something like that. 
Kim: Then I had to remind Amanda how the race usually works. You don't drastically change locations mid leg... so i had to reel her back in and remind her we are probably staying in Miami. 

Phil Woods: Teams are now racing to Little Havana, 8th Street to be exact to look for this 1/2 American 1/2 Cuban rooster where they will receive their next clue. 

... Back at the stadium ... 
Patia: I just got my ten pitches and I got no homeruns. Im going to be here forever!
Britti: Me too girl, me too! We got to keep trying though. We are good people, we deserve to be there... just try. we'll get it. 

... Katz/Ashley, HLC/Carlos reach the rooster at the same time ... .


HLC: OH OH OH! A dancing Challenge!
Carlos: NO Heather. We are doing World Traveler! 
HLC: ugh. OK.

Ashley: The Calle Ocho Festival is known for diversity as it has multiple cultures, nationalities and countries represented. In World Traveler, teams must find a flag for Ireland, America, Japan, China, Russia, Italy, Spain and Vietnam. Put them in the designated area for their team in the order in which they are listed in this clue. 

... they begin searching as other teams arrive ... 

Katz: All the teams are here now... this is going to be close!

Phil Woods: Carlos and HLC collected their flags first and our now on their way to the Pit Stop after receiving their last clue... 


HLC: What a weird looking statue... 
Carlos: You are going to regret that comment... 

... at the Pitstop at 1933 - 1944 Meridan Avenue, Miami Beach ... 
Phil Woods: Carlos and HLC, you are... team number ONE! Congrats! 
Carlos: It was easy but it was hard, having HLC as my partner Phil Woods. 
HLC: I did my best and you keep treating me like crap, you will be by yourself.
Carlos: ooh. 
Phil Woods: Stand to the side... we'll talk about your reward once everyone gets here. Another team is on their way. 

Katz: Yes! We made it to the second leg! Baby steps! I love this game. I like to think I am good at it... 
Phil Wods: Katz and Ashley, you are team number two! However, I need you to open your envelop you received in the cargo at the start of this leg. 
Katz: You will spend the next leg handcuffed to your partner. This punishment will require you BOTH to complete each task during the next leg. 
Phil Woods: You two have received the Starting Line Punishment of having two do twice the work during leg 2. You will each have to complete each task and provide a screen shot with evidence that it is your screen and not a shared picture. Nicole and Dylan had this punishment during Season 1 and they went on to win, so please do not be discouraged! 

... more teams arrive ... 

Phil Woods: Kim an Amanda, you are team number 3. 

Phil Woods: Gabe and Kyle, you are team number 4. 

Phil Woods: Tanya and Fabi, by one second, you are team number 5. 

Phil Woods:  Jared and Debbie, you are team number 6. You clearly have the Starting Line Prize, which we will address in a second. 

Phil Woods: Britti an Noah, you are team number 7. 

Phil Woods: Patia an Ginny, you are team number 8. Alright guys, can I have all the teams come in here please. I have an announcement to make... 

Britti: I am a little confused because Phil Woods only checked in 8 teams... and there was 9 teams at the starting line and he is calling us in for an announcement after 8 teams. 

Phil Woods:  Sassy and Felix have been Philiminated from the iAmaz1ng Race. Moving on to the prize... can I have Carlos/HLC and Debbie/Jared come forward... 

Carlos: Prizes for your boy Carlos. I hope its a new car. 

Phil Woods: Alright guys, here comes your prize...     ... two small single engine planes are seen landing ... 
HLC: I won a plane! Omg! I always wanted a plane.
Phil Woods: Not so fast HLC. This is the start of the second leg. You will each receive your next clue and a direct flight to your next location. While the other teams must get to the airport and book and flight... a flight that leaves sooner than later one would hope. 

Carlos: Let's go HLC. Give me that clue, bro. We out! 
Phil Woods: Not so fast Carlos. You each have room for ONE other team on your flight. You must now pick another team to take with you on your flight. 

... everyone looks at Phil Woods with a shocked look on their face .. 

NEXT TIME ON THE iAMAZ1NG RACE
Debbie: No matter who I pick, I am screwed... but I think I know who I need to pick.
HLC: This is fetching unbelievable. I don't know why he would do this to us! 

Tanya: Brazil is beautiful. Just look at it. I don't know if I could live here but I could look at it forever! 

Doctor: So tell me what hurts. 

Phil Woods: A curse... in the third round right?.. but this is the second... a new record

Wondering if Amanda thinking that the giant rooster was a male strip club in St. Louis, while we were hanging out in Miami, cost us the game.

She's so easily distracted.

This leg was non-elim, so at least you'll make one more round.

Episode 2: Did They Get Lost?

Phil Woods: Carlos/HLC, Debbie/Jared, you now have a choice to make. You have two planes waiting for you to take you to your next location. Those planes have room for one more team each. Who will you pick?

HLC: Well Phil...
Carlos: Patia and Ginny, Phil.
HLC: You didn't even ask me...
Carlos: I do everything, I pick.

Phil Woods: Ok, well, Patia and Ginny... come on up, you are going in the first plane. Debbie and Jared, who will be joining you?

Debbie: Regardless who I pick, I am going to be in trouble.

Debbie: Ok, so I thought long and hard about this and we are going to take Kim and Amanda with us.

Kim: Queens... everyone wants to be around us.
Amanda: Be nice, Kim.

... the first two planes leave for Rio De Janeiro, Brazil ...

Phil Woods: For the rest of you, your first clue awaits you at the end of the beach... first come first serve... a good old foot race!

... Katz and Derby are the first to get to their clue ...

Katz: Make your way to Miami International Airport and Book a flight to the home of the 2016 Summer Olympics… once you land, keep your mouth closed for your own safety. You do not have to look for an actual flight, just tell me where you are going! This is not an HLC game!

Derby: Clearly being the sporty member of the team, I knew exactly where we are going... Rio!

... a racer falls on the beach ...
Britti: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! My ankle!
Noah: Brittti! Are you ok!?
Britti: noooooooo. I am pretty sure it is broken!
Noah: MEDIC! We need a MEDIC!

Noah: So at the start of the 2nd leg, Britti fell...
Britti(Crying): And broke my ankle...
Noah: So we are out... because she cannot compete with a broken ankle.
Britti(Crying more): Im soooooo sorry Noah! I know how much you wanted this...
Noah: As long as you are ok, i'm ok!

... The first two planes land in Rio and the teams receive their next clue as they jump into a taxi ...

Debbie: Make your way to the base of ˈkɾiʃtu ɦedẽˈtoɦ, the famous art deco statue created by Paul Landowski.
Jared: ... silence ...
Debbie: So we have to tell the taxi driver where to go...
Jared: ... silence ...

Amanda: The Jesus Statue... we need to go to the Jesus Statue sir!

Phil Woods: The first four teams are headed to the Christ the Redeemer Statue...

Patia: We landed in Brazil and we received our next clue, a transportation challenge...
Ginny: You will watch the provided video. At the end of the video, you will be asked a question. If you get it wrong, you must ride the Corcovado Rack Railway back to the start and try again. You must watch the video each time, from start to finish, before you can answer. Once video finishes, you must close the video to receive your next question.



( when teams go to the end of the video, they were asked "What number was on the rail car that you passed on your way to the Christ the Redeemer Statue! All racers got the answer correct )

Carlos: We got to the statue and we got our next clue; a road block.
HLC: Friends From Around the World
... To celebrate the Olympics and many countries coming to Rio this summer, find FOUR people from FOUR different countries. You can include the USA. This can be people on your friends list, your skype list. You need to send me one picture of each person and tell me where they are from to get credit. I will be verifying this, so it would be easier if your screen shot of that person came with proof.

( teams were on screen share and pulled up different people from four different countries to receive credit for this! Popular picks were: Fabi, Desiree, Taylor Ukmar, Joe Purcell )

Kim: Done! Done! Done! here are the four people, give us our next clue, now!
Amanda: SO demanding. I am for sure the nice Queen... hopefully no one drops a house on you, Kim.
Kim: where is the clue! We are done and before Carlos! I want the clue! ... snatches clue ...

Kim: Make your way on foot to the square that is characterized by large, neo-colonial houses and Atlantic Forest vegetation. Once there, search for your next clue.... OK! Let's go!

Carlos: we need one more! Let's go, HLC. Find someone! Why am I doing everything myself!?!?!

... at the bottom of the hill ...
Amanda: Let's show this nice gentleman our clue and see if he can help us.
Kim: HEY YOU! THERE! YEAH! YOU! GET OVER HERE!
Amanda: Go sit over there on that bench, you are in time out!
Gentleman: Can I help you?
Amanda: Yes, can you tell me where this is?
Gentleman(after reading): Largo do Boticário is where you want to go...

Phil Woods: All teams, minus Patia and Ginny, are headed to Largo do Boticário. Patia and Ginny are on their way to Copacabana. Once teams arrive at Largo do Boticario, they will find their next clue.

Amanda(reading her clue): Make your way to The 140-hectare park lies at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain, far below the right arm of the statue of Christ the Redeemer. Once there, search for your next clue... Ok, Kim, let me handle this... Carlos and HLC are right behind us!

... Carlos and HLC arrive as Kim and Amanda find out they are headed to the Botanical Garden of Rio De Janeiro! ...

Phil Woods: When teams arrived at the Botanical Garden, they will navigate the garden, looking for the pit stop. If they run into a dead end, they must go back to the beginning of the garden and start over!



Phil Woods: Kim and Amanda, you are team number 1.
Kim: Yes, Yes we are. We know.
Amanda: Thanks Phil Woods.
Phil Woods: Slide on over please.
Phil Woods: Carlos and HLC, you are team number 2. Not bad.

... more teams arrive ...

Phil Woods: Gabe and Kyle, you are team number 3.

Phil Woods: Debbie and Jared, you are team number 4.

Phil Woods: Tanya and Fabi, you are team number 5.

... in the garden, in handcuffs ...

Katz: OK, all we have left is to navigate this garden and we can take these handcuffs off...

Derby: So we were running to make it through the garden, as we knew we were at the end of the pack, with only Patia and Ginny behind us. As we were running, I went left and Katz went right... and since we were handcuffed together, this did not end well. The doctors say I may have a concussion from hitting the ground when I got yanked to the right by Katz.
Katz: good news... we dont have to go home.... but Derby cannot do anything physical next round, so I have to do everything, regardless of how comfortable I am with it! ( disadvantage was given to Katz and Ashley )

Phil Woods: Katz and Ashley, come on in. Let's remove those handcuffs. While you remove the cuffs, let's talk.
Katz: OK!
Phil Woods: So normally, you go home 3rd and this is round 2... are you nervous?
Katz: Im not sure, I didn't see Patia in the garden, so I think she is still behind us.
Phil Woods: Well, you are right... but I couldn't tell you where they are.
Katz: Did they get lost?
Phil Woods: When you guys want to Largo, they went to Copacabana and were never heard from again...

... scene cuts to Copacabana ...

Patia: hey, pool boy... I'll have another gin and tonic.
Ginny: I'll take straight vodka... what do we have to lose!
Patia: Living the dream...

Until next time...

( the next leg must be completed by Wednesday at 8:00 pm! Schedule a time, ASAP to do this leg! The earliest you can do this leg is tomorrow at noon! )

[woods]

Episode 3: Bicycles, Ice Hockey and Churches

Phil Woods: At the end of the last leg, the final 6 was announced after two teams left us; Britti broke her ankle and the team of Patia and Ginny decided that partying in Brazil was more rewarding then the prize for winning the iAmaz1ng Race. Tonight, teams will depart Brazil and head to a country that is very familiar to one of our racers... 

... the first team gets ready to depart ... 

Kim: Here, let me read the clue. 
Amanda: We don't have much time, the 2nd place team is starting soon.
Kim: Give me a second, where are my glasses?

... the next team opens their clue ... 

Carlos: Make your way to Galeao-Antonio Carlos Jobm International Airport and book a flight to German airport with the International Civil Aviation Organization airport code EDDM.
HLC: OK, Carlos. So in my game, we have to find the exact flight we need... so let's get to a laptop!
Carlos: This isn't your game, Heather. All we need to do is tell him what airport we are going to! I got it... 

Phil Woods: All teams are now on a flight to Munich, Germany... as expected, this excites one racer...

... on the plane ... 
Fabi: This is exciting. We are going to Germany! This is the leg I come in first... 
Tanya: ... silence ...
Fabi: Or I go home... that would be awkward.
Tanya: ... silence ... 

... outside the airport ... 
Katz: bikes! marked bikes... ok. so you can't do this, because it physical... and we have to wait until the results of your concussion test come back... but let's read the clue and do this! 
Derby: Make your way to the home of EHC Munchen.... 

Kyle: Come here, Gabe! Let's see if this hottie knows where we are suppose to go... he looks like he would play hockey.
Gabe: sure... 

Debbie: excuse me, sir... do you know where the EHC Munchen play?
Gentleman: Olympia Eishalle is where they play. 

Phil Woods: Teams will now perform a transportation challenge where they must navigate the streets of Munich on a popular form of transportation; a bicycle. 
( Carlos is the only player to complete the transportation challenge on the first try.. the rest looked like the provided video, which is actual footage of Amanda cycling through Germany)



... At Olympia Eishalle ... 

Carlos: Road Block: GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
You will go on screen share with me and you will receive your next clue when you score 2 goals.

Phil Woods: teams will now try to sure two goals against a rookie goalie from the EHC Munchen ice hockey team... 

HLC: Carlos is doing really well. There are some other teams arriving. This is going to come down to who can score first... oh, that doesn't sound good.

Gabe: I'll do this... 
Kyle: Go ahead... it is too cold out there for me.

Katz: Oce again, I got this... since you can't do anything physical yet... 

Fabi: I got this one! 
Tanya: ... silence ... 

... on the ice ...

Carlos: That is one!!!! that is one baby! 
HLC: Oh carlos, stop talking to me like that you aren't Sandros Pomales! 

Gabe: this sucks! I can't do this!

Katz: Right, this is harder than it looks! 

Gabe: Kyle, do you want to switch? 
Kyle: Ummmm. let me get my gloves and a turtleneck! 

Carlos: DONE! Two goals! Let's go! Two! get the clue HLC!

... Debbie/Jared & Kim/Amanda arrive as Carlos is leaving ... 

Carlos: Make sure your way to Viktualienmarkt. Tell me what Viktualienmarkt is to receive your next clue.
HLC: Get the laptop!
Carlos: We don't have a laptop, HLC! We are on the iAmaz1ng Race! Find a local! 
HLC: Fabiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! what is Vikatomanenmarkt? 

Kyle(On the ice!): DONE! Two! Done! ( Kyle had the fastest time on this road block ) 

Phil Woods: Teams are now racing to Viktualienmarkt; the local food market. When they arrive, they will find a detour; Chug or Lug! 

Carlos: Detour: Chug or Lug

Chug: Each team member must chug a glass of water on cam.
( teams with only one person playing this round had to chug two glasses of water to receive their next clue; all teams chose chug ) 

Katz: Derby can do this detour since it is not technically physical... and I am proud of us. we are leaving this detour in second place with only Carlos in front of us and Gabe and Kyle right behind us!

Fabi: I am going to chug! if you know anything about me, you know I love the drink! Hoping this race is over soon, I heard there is a wine fest coming up! Wait, I shouldn't say that. I may jinx myself... but then I would be home in time for the wine fest... hmmmm! 



Carlos: PostCard Pit Stop Challenge: 
Make your way to the location on the postcard which is the pit stop for this leg of the race. Warning, last team to check in may be eliminated. 

... At Asam Church ... 

Phil Woods: Carlos and HLC, you are team number 1!

Phil Woods: Katz and Derby, you are team number 2. Derby you are now cleared to compete. Slide over here comes another team.

Phil Woods: Gabe and Kyle, you are team number 3. You were literally two seconds between Katz and Derby. 
Gabe: Ouch. 

Phil Woods: Fabi and Tanya, you are team number 4. Fabi, how was it racing through Germany?
Fabi: Bicycles, ice hockey and churches; everything I hate about Germany. 
Tanya: ... silence ... 

Phil Woods: Well guys, there are two teams still out there... the last team to arrive today will be competing in the first ever PIT STOP ELIMINATION CHALLENGE. If they complete the challenge, they will continue racing with you. If they fail, they are out. Here comes team number 5... 

Kyle: OH MY LANTA!

TO BE CONTINUED!

CARLOS and HLC you have been U-turned by The Queens... Sorry, not sorry!

On the next leg of the race, there will be a detour. You will have to do both detours. 

I am going to six flags tomorrow... so the next leg won't be until Monday.
