How weird. He's not yelling and complaining in this picture.

As they are all making their way through the Roadblock, Jet & Cord land with a determination to rock the tasks to make up for the airplane faux pas. Apparently, Jen had the same approach because she dominates the Roadblock and finishes first. With clue in hand, she and her sister leave for a wrestling club. Justin has once again joined forces with Big Easy and they get all their pieces of the phrase. They aren’t too far behind the sisters.

On the other hand, Kent is the antithesis of teamwork. He has about three more clues than Gary but asks for his help. He even promises that he will show him where the final holy man is. As soon as he gets his final clue (thanks to Gary), Kent makes a break for it and then tries to justify it as their co-dependent relationship had run its course. When he meets up with Vyxsin, Mallory asks about Gary and is told that “he’s right behind me.” Mallory correctly surmises that means that Kent got the clue and left Gary high and dry. Beauty queens can have common sense. Gary makes it through the task and they are off as well.

Cord is on the scene for the cowboys and Ron the Reliably Unreliable Roadblock Performer is securing his place in last by wandering aimlessly with a single piece, while everyone else besides Cord is done with the challenge.

Somehow the Globetrotters and Zev & Justin pass the sisters on the way to the Detour clue. The choices on this leg are Feed the Fire or Feed the Buffalo. For Fire, they must cross the Ganges River to a place where they will make 50 fuel patties out of buffalo manure, then stick it to a wall for it to dry. Finally, they have to use ones already dried to start a fire and boil milk. This sounds like one crappy Detour (sorry). For Buffalo, the team crosses the river and retrieves a bale of hay, which they then have to deliver to an address in the city.

Both of these first two teams go with Buffalo. I assume that Kisha & Jen didn’t thoroughly read their clue because they decide to go with Fire. I am not sure that I would ever opt for a task that involved excrement.

At Buffalo, Zev & Justin and the Globetrotters grab their hay and are on their way. Jet & Cord have officially passed Ron & Christina at the Roadblock because Ron says he over thought the clue. Sure you did, pops, sure you did.

The one-sided alliance of the Goths and Gary & Mallory are also going with Fire but if they could see what Kisha & Jen were dealing with; their choice may have been reversed. As Jen points out, “The crap you do for a million dollars.” As a lover of bad puns (which is to say all puns) and juvenile humor about poo, I really hope the sisters don’t get eliminated this leg.
