Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Camel Kicks And Milk
By Miss Alli | Season 12 | Episode 3 | Aired on 11.17.2007
Nate is finally done, so now Hendekea is getting really nervous about Azaria's slowpoking. Nate and Jen fall in line behind TK and Rachel, sort of breaking into the pack as it passes back going in the (we hope) right direction. In third place, Ron has to break out in a rendition of "It's A Long Road [sic] To Tipperary," which is not what anyone needs, especially the camels. Christina protests, and he insists that the camels are moaning in appreciation, while she thinks they're moaning at him to shut up. I think Christina is projecting onto the camels, but that doesn't make her wrong.
And now, Lorena is just flat-out screaming. She is screaming. Azaria's camel knocks some of his milk out of the bowl again. And then...man, I do not know how to explain this, but Jennifer...she somehow believes that the camel has run dry and can be...kind of stimulated to, um...I just can't explain it. Suffice it to say she is making a yanking motion, and it's most unsavory-looking, and it's a teat on a girl camel, so just because her last boyfriend liked it when...see, I shouldn't have tried. Julia says that her camel is not making any milk anymore, and Lorena is still screaming. So basically, Lorena, Julia, Jennifer, and Azaria have run their camels out of milk, either because of low supply or loss of milk through spilling or both.
Back from commercials, Lorena has decided to call upon divine help, saying, "Please, Lord, give me milk." As Lorena shrieks and gets kicked (God: "I'm sorry; did I misunderstand the request? Did you say 'gimme' and not 'kick me'? I'm so sorry; that happens to me all the time!"), Jason tells us that this was very emotionally difficult for him, as much as it might have been hilarious for everyone else. I added the last part. Azaria is a little more practical in his focus, and he asks if now that everyone who has any milk has already gotten it, he can switch. The guys say yes, he can switch, so he goes to get another camel. Julia's camel has no milk either, although it does have a big cascade of poop for her to enjoy. Once they switch, it does appear that the problem was the camels themselves, because everybody gets moving -- well, everybody but Lorena. Azaria and Hendekea get out of the Roadblock in sixth place.
TK and Rachel, meanwhile, reach the clue box with their four camels, and they open a clue for a Detour. Phil explains that the choices are Teach It or Learn It. In Teach It, you choose a local youngster and teach him or her ten common English words, using flashcards. When your child can recite all ten in one shot, you can go. In Learn It, you have to learn ten words in the regional language. I have to say, if you want your destiny in your own hands here, you're going with Learn It. Pick the wrong kid, and you could be here a long time. Rachel wants to do Teach, though. That would just make me too nervous. Nate and Jen take Learn It for the same reason I would -- "relying on ourselves." Kynt and Vyxsin take Learn It, while Nick and Don take Teach It, with Nick opining that the kid they pick is likely to be smarter than they are. Heh. Ron, thinking similarly, says that the kids have had more sleep than the contestants have, so they might as well do the Teach It option. But the first place that this clump of teams winds up, nobody seems to know what they're talking about or what they want.
