TAR 18 Episode 5 - Putting A Bullet In A Playboy Bunny


Kent/Vyxsin find their fanny pack at the gondola. At the front of the pack, Margie/Luke learn there is only one train and everybody is going to be on it. This includes the goths who have now arrived at the pit stop to be told the news that they're still going - but they're also told they have a 30 minute penalty for taking the wrong flight.

Kent/Vyxsin catch up to the other teams to find them playing basketball, and decide not to tell them about the penalty as it might make them a target. The train takes them to their destination and the Globetrotters find themselves in last after Jet/Cord take their cab.

Once the teams make it to the Archway, they have to choose a detour. One of the options is a memory challenge where they have to arrange dolls in the order that matches their counterparts on stage. Zev/Justin finish first, with Kisha/Jen right behind them. The other task is to arrange piping. Margie/Luke, Jet/Cord, Kent/Vyxsin, the Globetrotters and the cheerleaders all choose to do this one. Margie/Luke and Jet/Cord complete it first.

Zev/Justin and Kisha/Jen follow Ron/Christina's taxi driver but they end up taken to the wrong place. Consequently Margie/Luke arrive at the double U-turn first. They decide not to use it as they’re just happy to be first. Jet/Cord also pass on it.

Kent/Vyxsin and Jaime/Cara get to the U-turn at the same time, with Kent/Vyxsin making sure to get first dibs. Despite Jaime/Cara urging them to U-turn the Globetrotters, the Goths decide it’s safer to pick the one team they know is behind them…meaning they end up U-turning Jaime/Cara right in front of their face. Cold-blooded!

As Jaime/Cara go off to do the doll task, the Globetrotters arrive at the U-turn to find they’ve been U-turned by the redheads. Both of them make it through the doll task without much trouble, and on the way to their next location, the Globetrotters manage to overtake them. The bad taxi group finally find the U-turn and are relieved to see they’re safe.

The teams now must build a dinosaur skeleton, and Gary/Mallory are the last to arrive at the park after getting lost. Not liking their odds, they decide to use the express pass. The pair now feel they have to come first to justify losing the pass, but when they lose their cab, Jet/Cord are able to finish ahead of them, pushing them into second.

Back at the dinosaur site, Margie/Luke are the next team to finish. The Globetrotters confront the cheerleaders about the U-turn and they pass the blame onto Kent/Vyxsin. The Goths admit they have a 30 minute penalty and saw it as their only way to survive the leg. Kent finishes the skeleton, and the Goths are the next team to get to the pit stop. They then begin the nerve-wracking wait, and Kisha/Jen overtake them to claim 4th.

The Globetrotters are now done with their skeleton, and celebrate by yelling "Double U-turn this!". A delighted Kent/Vyxsin are finally allowed to check in first however, but both teams are proud of having to overcome huge obstacles.

Of the last three stragglers, Christina is the next to finish and check in, meaning it comes down to Justin and Jaime. Jaime is in a lot of pain and doesn't have the energy to take hers apart and fix what's wrong, so Zev/Justin beat them to the pit stop. The cheerleaders are eliminated, but by the time they finished that damn dinosaur, they just seemed happy it's over.
