Episode Report Card Miss Alli: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Don't Bite on the Beethoven

Commercials. The only thing that separates you from a career in stripping is the right skin lotion. Honest.
Kelly and Jon are lucky enough to locate a little old lady who knows a heck of a lot more about Beethoven than they do. When they get there, it's called "Beethovenhaus." See? German is your friend. Kelly says she "feels like [they're] in Munchkinland." Inside, the Wig Guy who I guess is supposed to be playing Beethoven hands them the route marker. "Nice to meet you! Like your music!" Kelly says. Heee hee. That was cute. Of course, as forum poster El Guapo pointed out, it's not like he could hear her.
The Women's Alliance arrives at the base of the spire and learns that it's a Roadblock. And what's the Roadblock? Bungee-jumping. NOT surprising. Phil tells us that Donauturm is the tallest tower jump in Europe. Pretty high, in other words, but that's a lot of qualifiers, there, Phil. On the way up to the tower, Sheree and Tian (who have chosen to the do the Roadblock) clutch hands. That was kind of sweet, actually.
Next to the Roadblock are Chip and Reichen, followed by the Insane/Clown posse consisting of Jon and Al and Millie and Chuck. Al and Jon agree that Jon (the human cannonball) is the most likely bungee-jumper. When Chuck and Millie open it, Chuck says, "I don't mind," and Millie smugly snaps back, "But I get to do it." It is certainly possible that they had agreed in advance that she would do it (though she did the last one, so...why?), but nothing about the way Millie has behaved has given me much reason to give her the benefit of the doubt and think that this is anything other than her usual screw-everyone- other-than-me attitude. ["Maybe now it's becoming clear why Chuck won't commit to a relationship with her: she sucks." -- Wing Chun]
Tian is first out to the jump. She loves it, she's an adrenaline junkie, blah blah blah who cares. She's lowered down, where she congratulates herself. Boring bungee footage. I hate bungee segments. What I love, though, is the interview where Tian talks about how much she loves things like that, while Jaree looks dead-eyed into the camera like, "Here she goes again about what a thrill-seeker she is. Can you believe this shit?" Of course, I am guessing, because Jaree doesn't mention this part out loud. Tian and Jaree read the clue with Monica, and it tells them to get to the pit stop by traveling by train to Gmunden. Phil tells us that the train trip is 185 miles. He introduces us again to the Marblemouth Hotel, also known as Seeschloss Orth. Last one to the pit stop is a Philiminated egg.
