The Race for Leg #7

The Amazing Race Quarantine: Season 1
Leg #7 - Time Deadline = 5 hours





Welcome Teams,


We are leaving Versailles, France behind today & moving on out to our next destination.

You won't be traveling very far though. You're on your way to PARIS!!!! The city of love is only a short taxi ride away. Once you get to Paris, France, your taxi driver will give you the next clue.

As you drive by in the city, you see a lot of movie billboards, new & old movie posters plastered along the walls, but you don't quite place the movies with all the French writing.

To get your next clue, you have to give the French movie title for these American movies (when they translate them into French, they give them a French title too, sometimes doesn't even make sense with the English title. For example, "American Pie" in French is "Folie de Graduation" which if translated to English would mean "Graduation Craziness".) You will get a 1 minute penalty for every wrong submission so better send all in one post. Accents matter.

As always in this game, don't forget where you are. I'm looking for what the title is here, not in other French speaking countries.


Movies:

1- King Richard
2- Don't Look Up
3- Clifford the Big Red Dog
4- Steel Magnolias
5- Last Night in Soho

ANSWERS:
1- La Méthode Williams
2- Don't Look Up: Déni cosmique
3- Clifford
4- Potins de Femmes
5- Last Night in Soho

The Amazing Race Quarantine: Season 1

Route Information Clue



Welcome to Paris, France,



When you got out of the taxi, your driver didn't give you a clue, he actually just pointed towards a café in the distance. He then told you to walk up to the man sitting outside on the terrace, the man wearing the black pants and green beret. He informed you that his name is Pierre-André Deschamps. This man has your next clue he said.

You walk over to the man in question. You notice he's reading yesterday's newspaper. You know this because it has Vanessa Paradis, Johnny Depp's ex wife,  on the front cover & you say it in the hotel lobby when you got to Versailles yesterday evening. You notice that he has his left leg crossed over his right leg &  that he has a watch on his right wrist. The watch looks like a dark blue Apple watch. You feel bad for disturbing him, but you clear your throat & wait until he looks up at you.

After looking at both of you up & down, from head to toe, Pierre-André Deschamps starts to tell you how excited he is to finally be in the presence of a couple Americans. You see, Pierre-André Deschamps recently stumbled upon a show on Netflix called Emily in Paris. After watching a few episodes, he came to the conclusion that Americans are uncultured freaks who really have no idea how things are in Paris & he's just frankly appalled & is delighted to finally tell it straight to an American face. Pierre-André Deschamps then tells you that in order to get your clue, you must complete his mini "Emily in Paris" horror relay race. If the French have to suffer this show existing, you have to suffer him having a little fun with it.

Pierre-André Deschamps looks down at his watch & reacts in shock. "Ma parole!". It's so late already. Pierre-André Deschamps has to be at a dinner party soon. His friend Bernadette Sirois is having her 29th birthday party at Chez L'Ami Jean so you must hurry. He informs you that you will receive a 5 minute penalty if you take more than 30 minutes to complete every task from the time this post is posted in your Team Confessional to your last set of answers (minus the time it takes us to send you the next part.)

First you have to answer these questions about the show's first season.


Questions:

1- What is the first thing we see Emily do?
2- What is Emily's social media handle?
3- While Emily talks to her Chicago boss on FaceTime, a man excuses himself to do what behind her?
4- When Emily has issues with the plumbing in her shower, where does she wash her hair?
5- What is the runtime on episode 6? (please post your source in case Netflix Canada is different)
6- Name 2 things hanging from Emily's purse when Pierre calls her Ringarde (describe them best you can , I'm not looking for their specific names)
7- Is the vagina in French feminine or masculine?





ANSWERS:
1- Running
2- @emilycooper or @emilyinparis
3- Pee
4- In the bidet
5- 29:27 or 29:38
6- Bag charms. Big red heart & gold Eiffel tower
7- Masculine

They all have to do with the first season of Emily in Paris, but since he's feeling like an asshole, he removed 1 letter from each word to make it harder.

Part #3




Finally Pierre-André Deschamps shows you a montage he made of some of the actors & actresses from the first season of Emily in Paris. He drew on them thinking it's funny, he doesn't care if you don't find it funny, he's laughing just thinking about it. You can see his dragon tattoo on his stomach when he starts to laugh harder. He wants you to name each character in the picture.
