Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Suck Like An Egyptian

Meanwhile, in Frankfurt, the flight from St. Petersburg lands with most of the teams on it. A social hour ensues in the Frankfurt airport, in which Brandon and Nicole, Chip and Kim, and Lance and Marshall sit around chatting, because fortunately, they have nothing pressing to do. Mirna and Charla, however, go in search of an earlier flight to Cairo, because while they are racing annoyingly at times, they are at least racing. They're not able to gain an advantage of the size of Colin and Christie's, but they do get a flight that's better by about fifty minutes. They resolve not to let anybody else find out that they're doing anything different. There seems to be little risk of anybody else finding out, since the rest of the teams are apparently lolling about like it's spring break in Ft. Lauderdale, only colder.
Charla and Mirna are hanging with the other teams, interestingly, apparently to throw them off the scent. (Clever.) Mirna whispers that they can't take off and go to their new gate until everybody is asleep. And indeed, once the other three teams are sleeping (and Kim has rolled her hair, with which you know Mirna can sympathize), Mirna and Charla sneak off (accompanied by sneaky-sneak music) to get their other flight.
At 2:35 AM, Colin and Christie's flight lands in Cairo. They get to the Tower of Cairo, but its hours of operation are 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, so they'll have to wait until morning. Still, they are very happy, because this will still leave them a substantial chunk of their lead. About seven hours, by Colin's calculations -- which, by the way, he performs by grinding his teeth rhythmically, just like the ancients did. He and Christie find a spot to lie down and sleep until it's time to head for the tower in the morning.
Meanwhile, all the way back in St. Petersburg, Linda and Karen board their flight to Frankfurt. In Frankfurt, the three sleeping teams wake up and wonder about the whereabouts of Mirna and Charla. Kim hypothesizes that they'll show up just in time to get on the flight, but Marshall voices over that as much as they dislike Mirna and Charla, they know they're not dumb, so they figured there was a good shot that the cousins had scampered off and found a better flight. Indeed, there are Mirna and Charla now, boarding the Alitalia flight to Cairo. Mirna notes that everything on the plane is green, and she refers to green as her "lucky colors." Yeah. Not sure why green is plural, and not sure why Mirna doesn't seem to own anything green if that's her lucky...um, colors. It might be time to rethink that "not dumb" as it applies to the broad conduct of life activities. They fly from Frankfurt to Cairo, scheduled to arrive at 2:25.
