Anti-Big Brother Vanessa & Ralph are living up to their new name by telling us that they will happily return the U-Turn favor on Big Brother if given the chance. This has me thinking that there is still possibility for yet another non-elimination leg this season. I thought we were done with that but I now fear that not only is there another one looming but that this will be it since there are only five teams left.

Sorry, back to the travel agent. Vanessa & Ralph decide to do their own research for flights instead of relying on the travel agents themselves. Lo and behold, they find another connecting flight through Nairobi that puts them about 30 minutes ahead of the other teams. For a team that left the pitstop nearly five hours after the leading duo, Vanessa & Ralph may have just gotten a much needed boost…

Never mind. The second flight lands as the divorcees are trying to get information about the bus schedules to Thevara. Bopper’s injury costs Team Justified almost immediately as they are the last ones to get to the depot and have to wait on a bus, whereas all the others have already left with Rachel & Dave in the front.

And Army of Two is the first team at the clue at the college. It’s "Lights... camera... dancing" for this Roadblock as one of the team members has to learn a Bollywood choreography routine and perform is satisfactorily before getting their clue. Dave is happy to hand this one over to Rachel. Dave is thrilled that the clue alluded to dancing, so he didn’t get tricked into volunteering for this one.

Right behind them, as Blonde Rachel gets changed for the task, are Border Patrol, Anti-Big Brother and Big Brother. We have JJ (who gets the nod by default since Art did the previous "dance routine" task with the wine bottles in South America), Vanessa and Bad Rachel, who is excited about the “fun outfits and sparkles”. Meanwhile, Ralph thinks that Vanessa will be all right since “she has a little Puerto Rican in her.” Yes, my mind immediately meant to the gutter when I heard this spoken and immediately felt bad about it.

India marks the return of an old favorite – Mark’s perpetual motion sickness. But he explains that as long as he has his barf bag, he’s good. The same can’t be said for me, if I have to be subjected to another round of him retching in a cab or bus.

(Side note: Producers, unless such action impacts their race performance, please just edit out anything along those lines. We really don’t need to hear it and I’m not sure it adds anything to the show. Thanks, Daron)

As you could have predicted, JJ is having the worst time with learning the routine as the girls seem to have picked up on the overall tempo of the choreography. The bitter JJ has at least redirected his bitterness as this point to Art, who is trying to encourage him but is only distracting him.
