Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Barbarians at the gate
By Miss Alli | Season 4 | Episode 4 | Aired on 06.18.2003
Despite all this, as the clock turns to 9:00, we see that Tian has relented at the last minute, and has stopped at the gate to dramatically wave the other cars in ahead of her. She may or may not have been clever enough to realize that they've already done the Roadblock, and practically the only time that it would matter who runs to a lighthouse clue box first in a situation like this would be for a Roadblock, so it's very, very unlikely that it's going to matter. She claims, however, that her reason for doing it was how "crazy" the reaction of everyone else became.
When the teams go through the gate, they're given a map to the lighthouse, because finding it actually requires some navigation. They cross a bridge, and Jon and Kelly continue bickering in the car, while Josh and DadSteve ask someone for directions. Tian, trying the classic method of speaking in a English with a funny accent and seeing whether it makes it easier for people to understand her, tries to get directions from a guy in a truck. Surprisingly, the first team to the lighthouse is Jon and Kelly. She initially doubts that they're in the right place, because she sees no other cars, but he exasperatedly says, "How many times have I got to prove you wrong?" as they ascend to the clue box. She apologizes in a way that she thinks is adorable and I think is insufferable. When you keep screwing up in the same way, continually apologizing is better than not doing anything, but it runs a distant second to knocking it off. The clue tells them to drive themselves to a marked parking lot at Gorges du Blavet, which Phil explains (and the cameramen drunkenly demonstrate) is a sort of woodsy mountainous area about ninety miles away. There, they'll find the next clue.
The virginless clowns, David and Jeff, Monica and Sheree, and Chip and Reichen arrive next at the lighthouse. Millie and Chuck are lagging behind a little, and pass Jon and Kelly on the way out. Kelly resolves to mislead Millie, so when the teams pass, she sticks her head out the window and acts confused, and then she cackles happily at her "fake-out." Yeah, I'm sure Millie was very confused. "Did you see Kelly acting like she was looking for it?" Chuck asks Millie. "She is so catty," Millie mutters. Interestingly, Kelly and Millie are locked in one of those battles that happens from time to time where they have each other dead to rights on their major complaints, which is why they can't stop pulling each other's hair, figuratively speaking. Millie and Chuck run into AirSteve and Dave at the lighthouse.
