Episode Report Card Miss Alli: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Flights of fancy, flats of fate
By Miss Alli | Season 3 | Episode 7 | Aired on 11.19.2002
At the Munich train station, JVJ and BoB meet up as they wait for the train to Innsbruck. They're all on the 11:40, so they'll be in Innsbruck in lots and lots of time for the opening of the Detour options. "Only Ian's ahead of us," Jill says. "Unless he's at a bar in Casablanca, having a drink," Gerard remarks, getting a laugh from the crowd that motivates him to go on: "'Teri, I know we'll get outta here!'" he mimics. Kenny then smacks the table a few times in a dramatic fashion, and I'm not sure I want to think about what part of Ian's personality that's supposed to emulate.
Back at the Annasaule, Asshat is pondering their Detour options. Ian wants to bobsled, so they head for the track to sign up in case there's a line.
JVJ and BoB board the 11:40 train from Munich to Innsbruck.
At the bobsled track in the darkness, Ian dismisses his cab, telling the driver to come back the next day at 8:30. He and Teri find the flag, and there are six numbers tacked to the post that they can grab to determine the order in which they'll get to go the next morning. Ian grabs the "1" and expresses his great happiness. The international booing can be heard from space. "Boooooo!"
FloZach at the puppet theater. Flo is advocating the Fast Forward, probably on the theory that they're far enough behind the three teams that left Casablanca ahead of them that, if they don't take the Fast Forward and Andre and Damon do, they'll be sure to wind up in last place. The real shame is that because the Fast Forward is given out in Munich rather than later in Innsbruck, they don't know at this point about the hours of operation issue relating to the Detour. It might be, though, that they should have gambled on it. It just seems to me that the timing strongly suggests potential hours-of-operation problems, and it might have been worth taking that risk, given that they had to wait overnight for the FF anyway. At any rate, the FF requires you to go to the Eisbach River in Munich and find the guy who's surfing on the standing wave. Apparently, the only challenge other than locating the surfer is "attracting his attention." The hell? The FFs are getting way too easy. They should at least have to knock him off the board. I would enjoy watching Zach fight a surfer. It would be the mellowest fight ever. It would take six minutes for anyone to say anything. Or move. FloZach discusses the FF option. She continues to believe that Firecop is a big enough concern that they have to take the FF to ensure that they aren't eliminated.
