At the departure gate in São Paolo, Jason & Amy and Marie (Tim's probably wandering around lost somewhere) are at the now-open podium to check on the possibility of getting standby on the flight that arrives in Lisbon at 7:00 AM. But the baseball wives show up to show the gate agent their document showing that they're already first on the standby list. Marie objects to them cutting in line, which Nicky & Kim deny doing, because as has been established, they're already on standby. "Am I missing something?" Jason asks. Clearly he is. Marie says it's not possible for the baseball wives to have gotten on standby before now, because she's so damn sure this is the only way to do it, and Kim explains, "When we got here, we figured it out." Or, to put it in a less polite but 100% accurate way, you snooze you lose.
She feels awkward about it, but I don't see where they did anything wrong, even if Marie and Jason seem to. I mean, maybe it wasn't the most politically savvy move to try to jump ahead at the podium, but they backed down on that part pretty quickly. Kim interviews unapologetically that they came to compete, and as we see from an onscreen graphic that they have indeed gotten themselves locked in on that flight landing at 7 AM, she says it was a good move. No argument here. "Why are they first? That wasn't the order!" Marie whines, as though all that matters is the order in which the teams made it to the gate. Unfortunately for Marie, it's a big wide wonderful world out there, with options that exist for other people to take advantage of even if she's not aware of them. Jason & Amy also make it on this earliest flight as a result of being the first team to show up at the podium (that they then waited at for hours for something to happen), but Tim & Marie are out of luck.
Marie interviews, "We hate them right now." I don't know if Tim feels like that, but it's not as though his feelings are ever relevant to her in any way. At the gate, Marie tells the baseball wives to their face that they're dead to her, and Jason adds, "That was a bold move, ladies." Suck it up, whiners; you got caught coasting and you got beat. Marie even has the balls to interview that there's no way the baseball wives are getting her Express Pass now. "They pulled a stunt that I would pull," she says, giving herself too much credit on top of everything else. "So it kind of lets me know that okay, now it's on." You know, Marie's pissed at the wrong people, but what else is new? Also, we just went to the first commercial break before any teams have even arrived on the continent where this leg is supposedly taking place.
