Episode Report Card Miss Alli: A+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT These bootings are made for taking a taxi
By Miss Alli | Season 3 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.22.2002
Things are tense out on the water between my least favorite teams. Aahab beats Teri and the Hat to the other side. Oh, the indifference!
Firecop is looking for the restaurant where they need to deliver the wine. They make the first delivery successfully, and Jill and John Vito follow. Meanwhile, Ian and Teri unload the ninety-pound wine barrel (and who's pushing it? She is, of course, while he asks directions), as do Aaron and Arianne. FloZach and Heave begin their deliveries. In the John Bon Vito truck, he rereads the directions. You know, reading the directions is a good thing. Firecop doesn't read them, though (at which point failure to read clues carefully stops merely being a subtle underpinning of this episode and becomes a downright theme), and tries to make the second delivery at the place where the clue says they have to go last. (You have to hit the Majestic Café last, you see, because that's where the clues are.)
Jill and John Vito approach the second delivery point. He says "hola" to the people in the restaurant. BZZZT! It's Portugal, buddy. But they seem to politely know he means to be friendly. He's happy to hear that they're the first to reach this point.
Heave truck. Eve is sitting in the driver's seat for some unknown reason, despite the fact that she can't get the truck into gear and Heather can. So Heather keeps reaching forward between the front seats and putting the truck in gear so Eve can drive. Excuse me, but why doesn't Heather just drive? I feel like there must be some explanation for it, but it's hard for me to figure out what it would be. ["I'm going to go way out on a limb and suggest that said explanation contains the phrase 'dumb bints.'" -- Sars] At some point, getting out and pushing the truck would have been faster than what they're doing.
Heave, Firecop, and FloZach converge on the second delivery point at the same time, and Eve manages to park the truck she can't drive in such a way that Firecop is trapped. Even though Firecop is finished delivering, they can't move their truck and get on the way, and they grumble in frustration. Damon yells at Eve to move the damn truck.
Michael and Kathy are not even at the Detour yet, because they once again have the world's most aimless cab driver. Michael is beginning to think the driver has no idea where he's going. Uh-oh. Michael says they can't be eliminated at this point, because they're "too damn good." Oh, okay. Well, then, I'm sure you'll be just fine.
