Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Goodbye, honeys

Traffic jam on the way to the pit stop. Blake jumps out and asks if they can go around. (Because they should get to go, and all of the unimportant civilians should have to sit in traffic.) Chris and Alex, meanwhile, think they've taken a wrong turn. "We screwed up, man, we screwed up," Alex says. Chris pounds the map with his palm. You'd think he could at least hit the dashboard or something, because nothing sounds as weenie as slapping a piece of paper. Cha-Cha-Cha thinks they're on the right track, and Danny says that either way, they "came to enjoy the journey." And unlike most people, who say things like this because they know they're going to lose, I think they actually did come to enjoy the journey. Boston looks over their map. They try to wave down a car to help them with directions. The car doesn't stop. (They need to put some padding under Chris's shirt so he'll look like a desperate pregnant lady. And then he'll ask Alex whether he looks nine months pregnant, and Alex will say "more like fifteen," and then...I'm sorry, I'm losing my train of thought.)
Commercials. I'm not sure I understand this Mike's Hard Lemonade campaign. I now associate this particular product with unappealing, stupid, unfunny commercials that are trying to amuse me but don't. It's like it's the [THUNK] of alcoholic beverages. Shut up, Mike's Hard Lemonade.
Chris and Alex get a guy to give them some directions. Cha-Cha-Cha is navigating. Meanwhile, the Teeth find the Roadblock at 4Track Adventures. As Phil explains, the team member who takes it has to jump on an ATV and drive a little course that leads to a beach. Then you gun it down the beach to the next clue, grab the clue, and take it back to your partner. Paige takes it for the Teeth. "Okay, Paiger, you're the one," Blake says. She suits up, and it's another blue jumpsuit, believe it or not. She also gets a helmet. Men swoon.
Chris and Alex get their directions and haul ass to their camper, yelling "chee-ahs" to the guy as they go. Heh.
Back to Blake, who says to the camera solemnly that "when the pressure's on, Paige is tough." She drives off in her little ATV. He tells her to go "nice and slow." Huh? She voices over that she has "no fear of speed" and "was flying through those trails," over footage of her not at all flying, but more puttering along. I mean, she's not crawling, but she's certainly not going particularly fast in the shots they show us. Boston drives up, and Alex takes it for them.
