Detour
Dildo, Newfoundland
Petitioning or Fishing?
Dildo Newfoundland is known for its name, you can find a bunch of videos of Jimmy Kimmel trying to become its Mayor, etc, but Dildo is also a fisherman's dream location & a lot of the towns business comes from the bodies of water surrounding it. Please post your decision in your Team Confessional. You can change tasks at any time by letting us know, but you will incur a 5 minute penalty for traveling to the new task.

Petitioning
Welcome to the political side of Dildo, Newfoundland,
For decades now, some Dildo, Newfoundland residents have been trying to get the name changed for obvious reasons. Petitions have often been the way residents have tried to get the change done & now you will join them trying to get enough names to achieve the ultimate goal.
Please make a new thread in your Team Confessional titled "Dildo No More". You have to get 25 names on your list to move on. In order to get a name on your list, you have to make a post that has a timestamp that ends with a 7. Every post you make that has a 7 as the last digit in the seconds, it will count as a name. You need to do that until you have 25 names, so 25 posts that have a 7 as the last digit in the second. Once you finish, come back to this thread & post "Motion Passed". Once we confirm your 25 names, we will give you the next clue.

Roadblock
Welcome to Reykjavík, Iceland,
You must now tell us which one of you will compete in this challenge. You cannot change your mind once you select a team member. You will post here in your Team Confessional. Once you pick your team member, we will post the challenge. Who's feeling patriotic?
The Amazing Race Quarantine: Season 1
Roadblock - Reykjavík, Iceland
You have made it to the capital of Iceland, Reykjavík. The President of Iceland (Guðni Th. Jóhannesson) is here to great us all & has your next clue in hand. In order to get that clue from him, you must impress the President by singing the Iceland National Anthem for him.
Here is a video with the English words to the anthem (I'm not that mean, I won't make you sing in Icelandic). Feel free to use whatever tools you need to help you though. I need you to send a video in your Team TWITTER GROUP CHAT that I'm included in. You need to sing the whole Iceland anthem and you have to try & be on melody. If it helps you to have it play in the background, that's fine too. I just don't want it to sound like someone just reading off words. I want it to sound like the actual anthem.
Have fun!!!
