Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Italians Dressing
By Miss Alli | Season 9 | Episode 5 | Aired on 03.27.2006
Dave and Lori hit the Detour clue and take the Laundry. "We're not the athletic people," Lori says. "Yeah, no kidding," Dave agrees. Heh.
Barry finds the Amazing Tag. They get their clue and leave for Segesta. As they're leaving, they run into an approaching Dave and Lori.
Ray and Yolanda find the Detour clue and choose the bell. Seriously, they should. Any clue with "find" in it is one they should avoid. Lake and Michelle pick the Laundry. Danielle and Dani take Laundry as well. "We are always last," they mutter. Dani says to Danielle (I think), "We're two girls. We're twenty-two, we just graduated from college. All these people, they've traveled all over the world...calm down, we're doing good." Aside from that icky "we're girls" comment, she's sort of right, up to a point. I do think young people who haven't traveled extensively are at something of a disadvantage, not that it hasn't been overcome on occasion. I do think this is the farthest anyone has ever gone when both members of the team sport words on their asses.
Ray and Yolanda haul their bell to their little vehicle, and he lifts it into the back.
Over at the laundry lines, Dave and Lori are getting a little frustrated, as he isn't even sure what they should be looking for. Fast approaching are Lake and Michelle, who barely avoid a very embarrassing moment when she stops him from just starting to look through the laundry of some perfectly nice Palermo resident who put out the wash at the exactly wrong time. "Baby, people live there," she says. "That's their stuff." Heh. Now that would have been a Detour -- running away from angry locals after you start pawing through their underwear. They should have made that the Detour option, just so we could hear Fran and Barry say, "We'll take Strange Panties." Danielle and Dani, however, manage to find the laundry before Lake and Michelle, and their arrival is unhappily noted by Dave and Lori. Lake and Michelle soon join the group, and they're off.
"You having fun yet?" Lake asks as they all hunt through clothes. "No, I want to kill myself," says either Danielle or Dani. It's safe to say that would be an overreaction. Dave, for his part, sounds half-dead and is starting to doubt that there even are any Amazing Tags to be found. "Come on, we've got to give it a shot," Lori says gently. "Try a different line." Dave is not looking convinced.
Commercials. I have a feeling I'm not going to be seeing The DaVinci Code, either. It feels like Tom Hanks's hair does more and more acting for him.
