Bob and Joyce head down the zip line and land in the pool. Yay! I think I like them, too, although I need to see more personality.
I do not, however, need to see more Brandon, but here he is, reading the Detour clue to Nicole. They and Jim and Marsha both choose the Zips. Jim seems interested in the concept of something other than a zip line, but Marsha just tells him, "We don't want to do that." She's all heart with the injured partner and everything. Charla and Mirna are another team that's all atwitter about the roulette, because they're so good at it. In fact, Mirna thinks the presence of a gambling task is "a sign." You know, I've heard that when you ask for divine intervention, God often sends gambling.
Colin and Christie are also zipping. "To the roof!" he yells, just like he's a villain in a swashbuckling movie. It would have been awesome if he had pointed and twirled a cape.
It turns out Charla doesn't really want to do the gambling, but Mirna badgers her into it. "I just have a feeling!" she says. "I don't, but we'll try it," Charla says.
Brandon and Nicole cross the zip line. Jim and Marsha, for whatever reason, have gotten lost inside the hotel looking for the zip task. Don't try to keep track of how many teams got lost during this episode, because it will make you cry. I like the part where they turn the lights on and off to try to make the door unlock. Because that sometimes works.
Colin crosses the zip line. He calls back to Christie about how she just has to "not freeze" while she's doing it. He's...kind of hot, which bothers me, because I don't think I like them. Or I kind of do like them, but I'd rather not. I am conflicted. She successfully navigates the first zip, and he cheers for her. She talks about how supportive and nice he is, and I wish she would stop creating all the cognitive dissonance.
In the casino, Charla and Mirna win at roulette, which causes Mirna to dance around disturbingly. They rip the clue, and Mirna makes some weird remark about how they should stay and play one hand of blackjack, and Charla's like, "No," and then they tear off in search of the pit stop. Heh.
