Swordguy
Mr. Smartypants
Sunako
ZiP

And the eliminated racer is:

Who, by the way, won the Amazing Race last season. The trophy (crafted by Sam*ron, I might add) will fall to new blood this time around.

The next checkpoint is:

Cuba.

Cuba lies in teh Torrid Zone.

source: Cubafacts.com
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

All facts are legal, but Smartypants and Swordguy still need to check in. I'll give them a bit longer.
