thank you for the votes everyone!
Leg 2 (Part 1)
Previously on The Amazing Race, fifteen teams of two set out from AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, on a race around the world, starting in Cancun, Mexico.
While Brendan & Alba claimed the Fast Forward and were fast-tracked to the pitstop, both Sierra & Faith and Lori & Madison had trouble finding a pirate ship.
Morton, Lori and Regina all managed to secure their place in the race by completing the Roadblock quicker than anyone, while Min-jae, Chase and Richard slowed things down for their team.
In the end, Lori & Madison and Sierra & Faith managed to escape elimination, while Richard & William became the first team eliminated from the race.
Fourteen teams remain - who will be eliminated next?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Leaving first at 9:17 am, Brendan & Alba open their first clue:
"Fly to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Once you have landed, travel by taxi to the Bonde de Santa Teresa, where you will find your next clue."
All teams make their way back to Cancun, where they all catch different flights to Miami, Florida, upon which they all catch the same flight to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
Brendan & Alba catch the first flight to Miami:
Thomas & Sakurako, Matias & Ashanti, Henry & Min-Jae, Max & Abel, Axel & Abraham, Tucker & Regina and Chase & Brendan, manage to catch the second flight to Miami:
While Michelle & Morton, Jasmine & Irene, Myles & Ivy, Laura & Pineapple, Lori & Madison, and Sierra & Faith manage to catch the third flight to Miami:
With all teams making it onto the flight from Miami to Rio De Janeiro:
Upon arriving at the Bonde de Santa Teresa, teams find another clue.
"Travel by tram to the top of the Carioca Aqueduct - from there, travel by foot to the Escadaria Selarón, where a group of street artists will give you your next clue. Only seven teams can fit onto a single tram."
The first team to open their clue finds both a Fast Forward and a second Route Info:
"FAST FORWARD: To claim this Fast Forward, make your way to Praia do Flamengo and win a game of Beach Volleyball against a pair of locals, with both sides only using their feet. Once you score ten points against your opposition, you will win the Fast Forward."
As some teams decide whether or not to take the Fast Forward, others read the next Route Info:
"Travel by taxi to Largo de São Francisco de Paula, and find your next cluebox amongst the street parade."
The first team to arrive finds a bustling Rio Carnaval parade ongoing, as well as their clue - a Roadblock:
"ROADBLOCK: one team member must participate in a Rio Carnival parade. After putting on a special costume, they must learn the samba and then lead a parade of dancers. If the Carnival Princess approves their dance, they will receive their next clue; if not, they will be sent back to learn the dance and try again."

Instructions for the Voters:
For the tram: PM me, either on the board or on Discord, four (4) teams you want to be on the first tram. The seven teams with the most votes will be on the first tram, departing at 9:00 AM, while the other seven teams will be on the second tram, departing at 9:20 AM. If there is a tie for the last few spot/s, the tiebreaker will be the first teams to have votes in. If there is still a tie, placements will be decided via random generator.
For the Fast Forward: PM me, either on the board or on Discord, one (1) team you want to win the Fast Forward. If the team with the most votes receives 3 or more, they will go for and win the Fast Forward. If they receive 2 or less, no team will claim the Fast Forward. All teams except Brendan & Alba are able to go for the Fast Forward.
For the taxi to Largo de São Francisco de Paula: Choose a taxi for each team from the numbered list below by placing the team next to a number. Each number corresponds to a time between 7 minutes and 13 minutes, with two times at each increment being available. Due to the random nature of this, voters can still only choose every 24 hours, but no priority will be given to voters who submitted team - choose any team you want at any time. This time will also apply to a team who goes for the Fast Forward, if applicable.
