But they to carry heavy bags and eat the spiciest chips they'll ever eat in their lifetime before they continued. The movie experts surprisingly won and even though the songwriters were penalized, the Transexuals were the ones who were sent home. 13 teams left and a lot more of the country to visit.  \n\\*\\*\\*  \n\"Welcome back to Mt Rushmore.\" Toner says. \"Right now the teams are here in the snack shop waiting for the next challenge to begin. However, I've got a secret. Hidden in this leg is a secret power known as the 'Yield'. If a team finds it, they earn the power to stop one team from racing momentarily. Jack \u0026 Maria won yesterday, so they're up first today.\" Maria steps up, hits the clue box button and takes the clue.  \n\"Route Info: All teams head for the Amazing Race and it'll drive you to the airport. From there, you'll take a flight to Seattle.\" Maria reads. Seattle, Washington; home of the space needle, the Seattle Seahawks, and the CenturyLink Field. Once they arrive at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, they'll take another bus straight to CenturyLink Field. Their next clue is in the middle of the football field.  \n\"Let's go!\" Jack says and they head off. The rest of the teams get the clue and run back to the bus at the parking lot. Once they're all on board, they head back to Rapid City International.  \nHans \u0026 Claudia sit in the back seat of the bus. Hans stares out the window watching the view go by, while Claudia contemplates what they can do to get rid of another team. Her biggest worry is The Axis, the alliance that was formed yesterday. It consisted of the sorority sisters, adrenaline junkies, and the movie experts.  \n\"Hans?\" Claudia gently shakes her partner to make sure he's still awake.  \n\"Hm? Yeah Claudia?\" Hans says.  \n\"Nothing. Just eating to know if you're awake. I just water to ask if you wanted to chat.\"  \n\"I'm kinda tired. Can this wait until we get to Seattle?\"  \n\"Fine. You're right. This race can get exhausting.\" Claudia layer down on the bus seat. Not the softest thing she's ever rested her head on, but good enough for her. She looks around and her eyes draw to the bottom of the seat in front of her. She looks and sees that Ashley \u0026 Jo (the ones seated in front of her) were facing away. Claudia carefully reached out and felt something underneath their seat. It felt a lot like a clue. She carefully takes it out from the seat. It was taped under there.  \nShe looks at it. It's yellow and looks almost exactly like a normal clue. But this one had a yellow triangle on it and it said \"Yield\" on it. Before someone can look, she stuffs it up her shirt and tucks it in.  \n\\*\\*\\*  \nThe bakers got a seat in the back of the plane so they wouldn't arouse suspicion arouse suspicion. \"Hans,\" Claudia whispers when they're seat belted in, \"I found something.\"  \n\"What?\" Hans whispers, ears perking up.  \n\"Look.\" She hands him the Yield clue she found. She opens it up and silently reads it. \"Congrats. You've found the Yield. You can use this power to stop one team for 10 minutes after the first challenge.\"  \n\"Oh my god! You realize what this could mean?\" Hans whispers.  \n\"Yes. That we destroy The Axis by using it on them. This has a photo of all the teams in here. Not sure what it's for, but well found out.\"  \n\\*\\*\\*  \nOnce the teams got to Seattle, and they got on another Amazing Race bus, they arrive at CenturyLink Field at 12:35 pm. Ashley \u0026 Jo were the first team to arrive. They press the clue box button and get their challenge.  \n\"Detour: you complete either the obstacle course or... the jock challenge?\" Ashley reads. Teams can either complete complete an obstacle course consisting of tires, a swinging rope, and diving under a low board in under 20 seconds; or they can grab a football and try to get from one end of the field to another while some members of the Seattle Seahawks try to stop them.  \n7 teams choose the obstacle course (Jack \u0026 Maria, Angie \u0026 Jennifer, Seven \u0026 Stuart, Hans \u0026 Claudia, Ashley \u0026 Jo, Rob \u0026 Robbie, and Jon \u0026 Devon), while the other 6 (Cody \u0026 Dave, June \u0026 Mabel, Brent \u0026 Syd, Richie \u0026 Vlad, Tommy \u0026 Regina, and Helga \u0026 Gretel) choose the jock challenge.  \nJack \u0026 Maria try the obstacle course first. Maria gets by the tires quick, Jack a bit slow; Maria swings the 5 ft gap and makes it, Jack right behind her; Maria makes it under the board at the 16 second mark. Jack makes it at the 21 second mark.  \n\"We'll have to go again.\" Maria says as they jog back to the start.  \nAngie \u0026 Jennifer are next. They step up. They were both fast in the tires and rope, but Jen struggled getting under the board, making it out after 27 seconds. \"We have to keep trying.\" Angie says. It was Seven \u0026 Stuart's turn.  \nSeven runs through the tires like it was nothing and makes it over the gap. Stuart was close behind her. \"This is insane!\" Seven says and she dives under the board to reach the other side. Stuart makes it too and they see the clock. 23 seconds.  \n\"This is impossible!\" Stuart exclaims. Jon \u0026 Devon step up. They both stay neck and neck at the tires. Jon was having a bit of trouble at the rope but did fine. When they both got under the board and they saw the clock. 19 seconds.  \n\"Oh my god! We get to move on!\" Jon says.  \n\"Hop on, buddy.\" Devon says. Jon climbs onto his shoulders and they run out of there. The rest of the teams at the obstacle course watch wide-eyed and jaw-dropped.  \n\"How did they, of all teams, get in first place?\" Ashley asks.  \n\"I don't know.\" Rob says. Hans \u0026 Claudia complete the course in 24 seconds so they have to start again.  \nJon \u0026 Devon run outside the stadium where they see the next clue box, along with something else. \"What the?\" Jon asks. They see the Yield station next to the clue box. The station is empty so they don't have to worry about anything. Devon hits the button and hands the clue to his partner.  \n\"Route Info: He'd straight to the Space Needle where the checkpoint lies.\" Jon reads. Teams have to go, on foot, to the Space Needle where the checkpoint rug lies. That's about a 2.5 mile travel. The rug is right outside at the entrance.  \nBack in the stadium, Hans \u0026 Claudia are on their next turn. Claudia face plants into the ground after she gets off the rope. When they get to the other side of the course, they see the clock. 26 seconds.  \n\"This is taking forever!!!!\" She yells.  \n\\*\\*\\*  \n\"Let's do this.\" Helga says. She grabs a football out of the bin on one end of the field. Her and Gretel start running. To make things fair, only two football players are on the field to stop them (both white wolves).  \n\"Bring it on, boys!\" Helga yells. When the four collide, the wrestlers end up on the ground.  \n\"What the fuck? Is this seriously happening!?\" Gretel asks. The Seahawk players then drag them off. It was then Cody \u0026 Dave's turn.  \n\"This'll be easy.\" Cody says. \"We're jocks. We can do this.\"  \n\"Absolutely.\" Dave says, grabbing a football. The jocks then start running down the field where the two wolves wait for them. The pairs then run at each other. Dave hangs on to the football and they collide. However, Cody \u0026 Dave actually manage to knock them out of the way instead of the other way around.  \n\"Awesome!\" Cody says. Whatever team they play for... that information is not disclosed and cannot be revealed. The jocks make it to the end of the field and the run off to the next clue box.  \n\"The Space Needle? Sweet! Let's go bro!\" Dave says as they run off.  \nAngie gets under the board and sees her and Jennifer's time: 18 seconds.  \n\"Nice job. Let's go!\" Jennifer says as they run off.  \nSeven \u0026 Stuart fail again. It was Hans \u0026 Claudia's turn again. Hans makes it through the tires and rope again just fine along with Claudia. She wants to use her Yield on someone from The Axis. Angie \u0026 Jennifer are already done so they can't be stopped.  \nWhen Claudia comes up from under the board she looks at their time: 19 seconds.  \n\"Finally!\" She exclaims. \"Now run boy!!!\" The bakers take off as the sisters step up for their turn. When they get outside, they see the clue box and the Yield station. It's a yellow board with two boxes. One labeled \"Yielded\", the other labeled \"Courtesy of:\".  \n\"This must be what the pictures are for.\" Hans says. He takes the photos from the Yield ticket. He then places him and Claudia's photo under the courtesy label.  \n\"Who should we slow down?\" Claudia asks.  \n\"Who do you think we should slow down?\" Hans asks.  \n\"Someone from The Axis. Angie \u0026 Jen are already ahead. Let's slow down...\" She rummages through the photos. Then she sees the perfect one and evilly laughs as she puts it on the \"Yielded\" box and they run off. As they get further away from the Yield station, Claudia can't stop snickering about how Jack \u0026 Maria will react when they see their photo.  \n\\*\\*\\*  \nTommy \u0026 Regina are the next to finish the detour when Tommy darted out of the jock's way. Next was Richie \u0026 Vlad. Vlad takes the football.  \n\"You have the stronger paws.\" Richie told him. As they run, the see the wolves that will try to stop them.  \n\"Know the plan?\" Vlad says.  \n\"Yep.\" Vlad gets on Richie's shoulders. Just when they're about to run into the football players, Vlad jumps off of Richie's shoulders and over the football players. The rules said they had to get the football to the other side of the field; it didn't say both members of the team had to be with the football.  \n\"Nice job.\" Regina says as she hi-5's the songwriters.  \n\"Thanks. No way are we coming in last place today!\" Richie says.  \n\"Together?\" June asks her allies.  \n\"Together.\" Brent \u0026 Syd say at the same time. Mabel and Syd each grab a foot ball and start running down the field. Since two pairs are running, four Seahawks charge at them. The teams manage to dart out of their way, but one of the players catches Syd's shirt collar.  \n\"Brent, catch!\" Syd yells and he throws it to him before the players could prevent it. Brent turns around and kept running. He sees the football coming, jumps, and manages to catch it; continuing to run as it happens. The early graduates slip ahead but they're still working with the he humans.  \nThe football players eventually let Syd go since Helga \u0026 Gretel step back up to try it again.  \nRob \u0026 Robbie finish the obstacle course when Jack \u0026 Maria step back up. Maria steps up her game and finishes the course in 15 seconds. Jack has trouble finishing the course but manages to get out from underneath the board right when the clock turn to 19 seconds.  \n\"Nice job, Jack.\" Maria says. \"Let's go. I bet you people have already got to the checkpoint.\" The movie experts run outside to the clue box.  \n\"Uh... Maria?\" Jack points to the Yield station. They see the picture of them under \"Yielded\". Maria covers her mouth in horror. When she sees the \"Courtesy of\" she's not surprised.  \n\"The bakers. Of course they did this.\" Maria says. The experts step on the Yield mat (a yellow circle with a black circle with a slash) and a timer of 10 minutes starts.  \n\\*\\*\\*  \n\"Nice job, Gretel.\" Helga says.  \n\"Are you kidding me? You just tricked both of the football players to come after me.\" Gretel hold a paw over her black eye.  \n\"At least we finished the detour and we're not in last.\" They run off. Seven \u0026 Stuart complete the course in 18 seconds and soon after, Ashley \u0026 Jo complete in 18 as well.  \nWhen Seven \u0026 Stuart run outside, they see Jack \u0026 Maria sitting on the ground with a 7 minute timer still going down.  \n\"What're you doing?\" Seven asks.  \n\"We've been Yielded.\" Jack says. \"We can't move until timer's done.\"  \n\"Who did this?\" Stuart asks.  \n\"Who do you think?\" Maria asks, pointing to the bakers' photo on the Yield station.  \n\"Hans \u0026 Claudia? Man, those two are dead!\" Seven yells.  \n\"Guys, you need to keep moving.\" Maria says.  \n\"But why?\"  \n\"Because all the other teams have probably checked in by now. If you don't move, you could be eliminated. Don't worry about us.\"  \n\"You sure?\" Stuart asks.  \n\"Positive.\" Jack says. The junkies look at each other, shrug, and run off as the sisters get their clue.  \n\\*\\*\\*  \nToner sits at the checkpoint rug reading his newspaper like usual when he sees a team step on the rug. He puts down his paper and nearly drops his pants when he sees who it is. \"Well, I'll be...\" He says. \"I never thought you two would be here. Oh well. Prostitutes, you win this leg of the race.\"  \n\"Yay!!\" Jon says.  \n\"Awesome!!\" Devon says. Jon gets down from Devon's shoulders and they make out.  \n\"Guys, live TV, remember?\" Toner says. Jon \u0026 Devon walk off.  \n\"May we do the usual?\" Jon asks.  \n\"You bet baby.\" Devon says. \"Let's do it in public, like I know you enjoy.\"  \nToner gets on his phone. \"Hello? Mr Milton?\" His boss. \"Yes. Remind me why you let Jon \u0026 Devon race again.\" Angie \u0026 Jennifer make it to the checkpoint rug next. Toner holds up two fingers to indicate they're in second. \"Ok. Thanks.\" He hangs up. \"Hans \u0026 Claudia, third place.\"  \n\"Perfect.\" Claudia says. \"I can't wait to see Jack \u0026 Maria's placing.\" She evilly giggles as she walks off. Angie overheard her.  \n\"What did she do to Jack \u0026 Maria?\" Angie asks.  \n\"I'm not sure.\" Jennifer says.  \nCody \u0026 Dave- 4th place  \nTommy \u0026 Regina- 5th place  \nRichie \u0026 Vlad- 6th place  \nBrent \u0026 Syd- 7th place  \nJune \u0026 Mabel- 8th place  \nRob \u0026 Robbie- 9th place  \nHelga \u0026 Gretel- 10th place  \n\"Where's the rest of our team?\" Jennifer asks.  \n\"I'm not sure.\" Angie says. \"Oh wait, here comes Seven \u0026 Stuart!\" The junkies run with the rest of energy they have left, which is still a bit enough to outrun the sisters. When Angie sees Ashley \u0026 Jo come into view, that's when she gets nervous. The four Racers fight to make it to the checkpoint.  \n\"Oh god, are we too late?\" Ashley asks.  \n\"Not sure. But those two were sitting outside the football field, remember?\" Jo reminds her sister.  \n\"Junkies, 11th place.\" Toner announces.  \n\"Whew! That was close.\" Seven says. Ashley \u0026 Jo then step on the rug.  \n\"Sisters... you're in 12th place, aka still in the race!\"  \n\"Woohoo!!!\" Jo climbs onto her sister and they walk off.  \n\"Wait,\" Robbie asks, \"if they aren't last, who is?\"  \n\\*\\*\\*  \nJack \u0026 Maria run halfway to the Space Needle, when they run into Toner before they cross a street. \"Oh no.\" Maria says.  \n\"Movie Experts, Jack \u0026 Maria, the other twelve teams have already checked in. You two are out of the race.\" Toner says. \"Sorry I'm not sorry. Now goodbye.\" He turns and walks away without a second glance.  \nJack puts an arm around Maria and they walk the other direction. \"It was fun while it lasted.\" Jack says. \"But I've gotta say, I'm never going to eat a hotdog without knowing what's in it first from now on.\"  \n\"Still scared from Chicago?\" Maria asks.  \n\"Yep.\"  \n\"We may not've won the race, but in my book, we did good enough to show how awesome we are.\"  \n\"So true my friend.\"  \n\"Wanna go home and binge watch the Harry Potter movies?\"  \n\"Oh yeah.\"  \n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"So Furry Presents: The Amazing Race","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/932488-jalapeno-south-dakota.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/933632-hawaiian-paradise.json"}}
