Meanwhile, the Chos have to yet again stop for directions. When Karlyn complains again, Lyn asks why she doesn't navigate. Karlyn remarkably says that she said before that they shouldn't be following them. Okay, really – then why are you?? Hypocrisy mark. Karlyn interviews that she "loves" the Chos, but Erwin is too indecisive, too afraid to get lost. Finally, the Lyns cut loose. However, they don't have the courtesy or decency to tell the Chos (or even just yell out that they're leaving). This action leads Godwin to curse and Erwin to voice his disappointment. Self righteous mark! The alliance is finally done – and it's fairly clear that so are the Chos.

The models find their sheet music and their pianist. Dustin and Kandice rap and it is indeed painful to watch. At least they looked like they were having fun. Each of the lead teams get their clues and they are off to the pit stop at the Patriotic War Memorial.

When the Chos decide to follow Team Bama, they are not happy. Karlyn states that "The Cho Brothers need to learn to run their own race." EXCUSE ME!! Look, you don't want to wait for them, fine. I can respect that. But after all the help they gave you (the flight information out of Madagascar is but one example), the least you can do is not give them grief for following you. Hypocrisy mark times ten.

Rob and Kimberly find the club and invite their locals in. The locals decline. Both the Chos and the Lyns are off to rap. The Lyns find someone to lead them and while the Chos could follow them, they choose not to. Erwin thinks they have "too much pride" to follow them. Self righteous mark times ten. Godwin meanwhile looks close to tears. Rob and Kimberly get their rap down, get their clue and they are off to the war memorial. Their locals are still waiting for them and ride in the car with them to the pit stop. Tyler and James check in as Team #1. Dustin and Kandice are Team #2.

The Chos get lost on their way to the club and end up asking for directions. They change tasks because the Music Academy is easier to find. Rob and Kimberly check in as Team #3. Lyn and Karlyn are set to rap and Lyn does this silly little walk – sort of like what Richard Pryor used to do, but not as cool. In fact, it's not cool at all. Anyway, they rap and it does look, for the first time in a while, that they are having fun. Erwin finds the music and finds a pianist. The Lyns get their clue, the Chos get their clue. And now it's a race to the pit stop. The Chos direct themselves onto a street that is closed to car traffic. They are stopped by the police and ordered to show him their "documents." Karlyn and Lyn make it to the pit stop and check in as Team #4.

This leaves the Chos as the last team to arrive and they are eliminated. Godwin cries again for the third time. They interview that they "wanted to run the race the way they were raised." Please! I certainly don't condone teams that cheat or sabotage others to get ahead, but this idea that they needed to run the race "right" is just bullshit. Nobility in this context is just hubris. Self righteous mark time 100. And with that, the Chos finally won something, winning the Hypocrisy v. Self Righteousness battle and earning my undying enmity, which is a shame because up until three legs ago, I was pulling for them all the way. I'm sure they'll be able to live with themselves as they hang out in sequesterville, for whatever that is worth.
