Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT How egg-stremely satisfying
By Miss Alli | Season 5 | Episode 7 | Aired on 08.16.2004
6:01 AM. Chip and Kim. Kim explains that she and Chip believe they can compete, because they're "doing everything right" at this point. Chip interviews that in order to win, you need "brainpower more than brawn." And I agree, although both are helpful, as well as appreciated by me. They get in their cab.
6:03 AM. Twinkies. Upon reading about flying to Kenya, they give identical "woo!"s and jump up and down. You know, girls, some things just aren't worth doing in tandem. Kami interviews that now that they're in third, they figure first is within reach. It's only two spots away, you know. (They borrowed a pencil and some paper.) "We just have to be in control of what we're doing," she says. They hop in their cab. "We need to get there fast!" they helpfully tell their cab driver, who will have to go against the Taxicab Code of Conduct and its default preference for lollygagging.
Colin and Christie arrive at the airport for the Egypt Air flight. Chip and Kim are on their way also.
6:10 AM. Brandon and Nicole. "I put my confidence and my trust in the Lord, not necessarily assuming that it's in His plan for Nikki and I to win." Okay, aside from a small problem with pronoun usage, I actually can get behind that. They recap the clue in their taxi, including the magic words "Mystery Destination." Is it...Shreveport? Nicole goes on to discuss in the cab how much she loved Egypt, and how wonderful she thought the people were. Nicole loves the Egyptians. She wants to grow up to walk just like them.
Chip and Kim and the Twinkies get to the airport and head inside.
6:28 AM. Charla and Mirna. Charla goes to dramatically rip the clue, and she manages to fail to rip the strip properly, so they have to stand around tearing the envelope apart, which isn't nearly as adorable as they think it is. They read the clue. "Let's get the heck out of here!" Charla says. Mirna's strange notions continue to unfurl as they leave the pit stop. (Miss Alli's Mom: "She thinks she invented aluminum foil! She's delusional!") Mirna says that now people don't underestimate them -- they overestimate them. She believes that people have become so insanely terrified that they believe her and Charla to be even better than they actually are. Which, you will recall from Mirna's previous comments, is so good that they make everyone crazy with jealousy. "We're having a good time, and we're not going to let anyone take that away from us," Mirna interviews, as Charla squints agreeably, wearing a highly unflattering and scrunchy fuchsia thing. Whatever all that fussy stitchy business is that's going on between Charla's boobs, that's not a good look for anyone. As Mirna walks, she snipes at Charla to go faster, as Charla runs along behind her. I wonder what Mirna would think of anyone else commenting that Charla isn't very fast. I'm just wondering, since Mirna brings it up about every five minutes.
