Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT More-WHAT-ee-us?

By Miss Alli | Season 10 | Episode 7 | Aired on 10.28.2006

The Pointies roll down the window and ask directions. They get no help. "Great help, dude. You guys are awesome," Rob mumbles to himself. Hee. When you do that to the person, it pisses me off, but honestly, I'd probably feel the same way. I talk to people who can't hear me constantly, mostly about how much I hate them. I did this today: "Of course there's no one in the office of my apartment complex when I want to pick up a package. Why would someone be in the office, just because it's office hours. WHY?" I would have done well to stop at "you guys are awesome."

The Expired Alliance arrives at the post office and collects clues. Initially, there is some disagreement, with Mary and one of the *lyns wanting to go with Sea, but the *wins want to go for Salt, and they all wind up deciding to stick together and hit the Salt option. I would not do that, ever. I hate those things, and I'd get so frustrated, I can't imagine.

Tyler and James are finally approaching the post office, and they're coming as the Expired Alliance is going. To my surprise, the A(AM!)s choose to go for Salt, which... what? Why? I suppose they could argue that their complete lack of navigational skills might be a reason, but it doesn't seem compelling to me. I can't imagine risking being the person who can't find the damn salt shaker. They're also not happy about being behind the Expired Alliance. Fortunately, if they wait, the Expired Alliance will probably line up and shoot itself in all twelve feet with one shot, so it won't last.

Meanwhile, the BQs are enjoying their boat ride. In fact, they lie down in their boat for a while, which... why not, you know? If you're just waiting to get somewhere, you might as well make it quality relaxation. They've certainly mastered the appearance of occasional moments of being laid back.

The Expired Alliance arrives at the enormous piles of salt, and I already hate this Detour. Ugh. All the teams start to look, but none of them particularly seem to have a plan. I would think if you were going to do this, you would at least have to find a way to do it somewhat methodically, so that you weren't just endlessly pushing the same salt around. Shortly thereafter, Tyler and James arrive, so now we have four teams digging in salt piles. Mary calls Dave over quietly, asking him to look at something for her. It turns out that she has a salt shaker, but... it's full of pepper. No clue. "Guys, it's not in every shaker," Mary calls out. Aaack. Even worse! In the imaginary race in my head, I am totally not choosing this Detour option.
