At Plaza de la Democracia, Art has reached the climax of the dance routine, where he balances on his stomach with his chin, hands and feet hovering inches above the paving stones. The Roadblock completed, they get their next clue, which is directs them to the Pit Stop. Phil says that means traveling on foot to "this renowned monument at Escalinanta de Antiquera." It's a statue of an angel on a column at the top of a flight of white stone steps with Phil and the mat positioned on a landing about halfway up. The last team to check in may be eliminated. The Border Patrol agents get directions from the local cops and hike to the monument. They jog up the two flights of stairs from the street, which nearly wears them out. Alien smugglers, take note: if you're fleeing the Border Patrol, run uphill. It's the opposite of fleeing a bear. Phil's there in front of the mat, standing next to a local model in a short dress and an Angelina-like stance. She welcomes them to Asunción. "Wow, you're really pretty," Art informs her. They're team number one and they share a big hug. They've won a trip to the Bahamas. Art says this was a perfect day. "We smoked everybody." JJ adds, "We really don't think that we should be anything but number one. Every day. We're just gonna win. That's it. We're just gonna win." Cool, I'll see you at the end of the season, then.
