The next leg of the race begins for me at 1:07 a.m., and when my alarm goes off at midnight, I pack up my stuff and meet Troy in the lobby. He still looks exhausted—he probably went out drinking or something instead of resting. As the van to the starting line is about to leave, a chattering, giggling Will and Philadelphia pile in behind us, both clutching take-out coffees that didn’t come from the hotel. I hate that they clearly got up early to spend more time together, despite the producers’ orders not to leave their rooms.

“Hey.” Will shoots me a megawatt smile as he settles down in the seat behind mine. “You get some sleep?”

“I certainly didn’t,” Philadelphia chimes in before I can answer. “This one snores like a chain saw, and I could hear him through the wall.” She giggles and shoves Will’s shoulder in a familiar way, as if they’ve known each other for years, and it makes me want to puke. I turn back around and concentrate on looking like nothing is bothering me.

Isis is waiting for us at the checkpoint, looking as fresh and rested as she did at the starting line in LA. Doesn’t she ever sleep? We meet our new camera crew and get miked, and at exactly 1:07, Isis hands us our first pink envelope. I notice she has tiny Around the World heart-map decals on her nails. “May the forces of love and luck be with you,” she says as I rip open the Velcro.

Fly to New Delhi, India, and make your way to the Lodhi Gardens, where you will receive your next instructions and complete a task of jumbo-sized proportions.
