Jordan takes the Roadblock for his team and Louie cites his experience helping his Italian grandmother cook as the reason he chose to do it for Team Super Fuzz. I wonder if Louie’s grandma was from Sicily or Venice. We should ask Brent for help with this one.

Jet finishes up and they have to head to the Shanghai fashion district. To go along with the randomness of this challenge, there are also several shots of Pingping with a cigarette in his mouth. Why? I assume it was to set up this gem from Jet: “So, apparently, smoking will stunt your growth.”

While Jordan complains that his hands are freezing and Louie is shaming the memory of his deceased grandmother with his poor noodle making skills, Caite has gotten into a groove and is securely in second place. With a kiss on Pingping’s cheek, Caite bolts with the clue.

The cowboys arrive at the fashion house, which is full of various articles of clothing. The teams have to find a designer’s sketch and collect all the correct pieces of the outfit for the model to wear. The boys lament another “fine arts” challenge following their struggles with the drums earlier. Despite being fish out of water, Jet and Cord seem to be having fun with the task by joking around and embracing their deficiency in picking out clothes.

Louie recognizes that Jordan’s frustration is taking its toll on him and that this is their chance to get out in front of another team. Louie finishes and the tears start for Jordan. You can almost see the brothers’ mom beam with pride all the way from Rhode Island when Dan comes over unsolicited to boost Jordan’s spirit and encourage him that he can do this task.

Jet and Cord’s model puts all on the items they selected but alas, it is not right. They examine the sketch again and figure that the shirt was the wrong piece. After a quick change by the model, the cowboys are still in first place before another team has shown up. The cowboys then head to a football stadium for their next clue.

As they leave, Caite and Brent arrive and get to work on the task. Zooland…er…Brent and Caite say that they are used to this type of world but are usually on the other side, being the one trying on the clothes. You know, because they are so good-looking. Michael and Louie seem to have made up some ground as they show up shortly after South Carolina. But appearances are deceiving as Team Super Fuzz reverts back to their ways in early legs by not paying attention. Perfect example: They take the clue out of the clue box that is in front of the door of the fashion house and proceed to walk all over the place looking for said fashion house. The defective detectives are back.

Jordan finishes and the brothers have a chance to catch up if Michael and Louie remain lost. Meanwhile, Brent and Caite dress their model correctly the first time.
