Bald ambition We Have A Bad Elephant - An elephant-pushing Detour and a camel-whupping Roadblock take a back seat to the poetry of head-shaving as the race continues across India. Get a tissue, y'all, because Joyce is bald. At least we get to bid farewell to Alex and Lynn, so there's something to feel happy about. |

Tea, totally Mow 'Em Down Like Grass - In India, the teams tackle a patience-testing Roadblock and a rather chaotic Detour that sends them around like the donut-cart guy at your office. In the end, all is "To Be Continued," so how's that for anticlimactic? |

Head wounds and foot races I've Been Wanting A Face Lift For A Long Time - First, Gretchen gets herself a nice walking-wounded appearance, and then she and Meredith lose all their money and their stuff at a non-elimination mat.

Horses, horses, horses, horses What A Gaucho You Are - In Argentina, the teams try out their equestrian skills, then head to Buenos Aires for a little boating and navigating.

Back to the (sucking) Windy City 4 Continents, 24 Cities, 40,000 Miles - After a final stop in China where Hayden quits and Aaron proposes to her, the remaining three teams head for Honolulu and then Chicago, where Kris and Jon, having been screwed by a ticket agent, lose the race to Freddy and the odious Kendra. It's fitting, somehow. |

Like Madonna and Sean Penn, only more tiresome You Deal With This Before I Hyperventilate - In Shanghai, the final four teams race around with buildings and bricks and whatnot, and Kris and Jon get every slow cab driver in the city to take them on various Rides of Futility.

Rotten to the Corsica Tell My Mom I Love Her - Corsica brings grape-stomping and wall-climbing. And more arguing from Jonathan and Victoria. And more twitting around from El Hornio.

Over And Over, They'll Be A Fool For You Phil Is A Choo-Choo Charlie - Because the effort to become a Burnett show isn't quite obvious enough yet, we are now subjected to a Burnett-like clip show in which, as usual, there is primarily a lot of stuff we've already seen and rehashed a number of times. Not to make it sound less than exciting. |

The Best Pest Is A Budapest They Probably Should Have Some Counseling - Jonathan is still making himself unpopular among the world's cab drivers, but at least there is no pushing or shoving. Kendra gripes, Hayden can't drive, and all the chicks are bungee-jumping. |

Go Fish What If It Isn't Sanitary? - In Senegal, the teams are confronted with fish, salt, and ferries.

A Few Leaders And A Bunch Of Oslo-Rans I'm Not His Wife, He Doesn't Need To Yell At Me - The race moves to Norway, where heights, navigation, and a tricky Detour make for a complicated leg. Meredith and Maria also can't drive stick, which is a pretty good metaphor for their poor performance generally. They get booted, which seems fair. |

United, We Fly Standby You Just Made Me A Millionaire - In the first half of the finale, Linda and Karen almost pull out a victory over Colin and Christie, but then...they don't, and they are eliminated.

You gotta dance with the ox that brung ya It's Okay, Run Them Over! - In New Zealand and in the Philippines, Colin is an ass in any language and culture. When he and Christie fall momentarily behind at just the wrong moment, they find themselves victims of the dreaded Yield, and, totally unable to cope with falling out of first place, they collapse utterly. Only an unexpected non-elimination saves them from departing the Race entirely. Darn. |

Suck Like An Egyptian Are You Good At Puzzles? - A couple of teams really ratchet up the performance problems this week, particularly the Twinkies, who think that puzzle pieces are included with clues for no reason whatsoever.
