By Miss Alli | Season 9 | Episode 5 | Aired on 03.27.2006
As BJ and Tyler run down toward the pit stop, Eric and Jeremy spot them from a distance. BJ and Tyler land on the mat in first place. When Phil says he has good news, Tyler continues his Idiot Tour Of Cultural Stereotypes by saying, "We get...pizza pie!" Phil explains that they get, in fact, a "digital imaging package" that includes a camera, printer, computer, and batteries. Nice that they threw in the batteries. "Whoooooa! Digital imaging!" Ugh. God.
Eric and Jeremy choose not to Yield anyone. They get the Roadblock clue, and Eric takes it. Jeremy decides to offer to take off his shirt and model, which...you know, I really, really don't like this whole area of teasing the horndogs about being gay, but it's like they're begging me to. "Check me out, dude," Jeremy says. And he poses. It's all very...odd. Let's just say it's odd. ["I'm not teasing when I say that Eric and Jeremy really are the last two people alive who don't know that Eric and Jeremy are gay, and if they could just come out and realize that then they could kiss and hold hands, they would be a lot happier. And less tired from the strain of pretending to mack on girls all the time." -- Wing Chun]
MoJo gets to Segesta and starts walking toward the Yield mat.
Eric puts the top half of his statue onto the bottom half as Jeremy comments, "As soon as Dani meets one of these guys, she's probably going to leave me." You know, I now feel like this whole thing ceased to be funny before I was born. Eric takes note of the extra pieces, but he has the thing checked out and learns that it is indeed finished. They get the pit stop clue and leave.
Monica and Joseph reach the Roadblock clue. Monica takes it.
Down at the pit stop, Eric and Jeremy arrive and, upon seeing the greeter, they exclaim, "Holy hottie!" Okay, it stopped being funny before my grandparents were born.
Back at Laundry, Lake and Michelle and Danielle and Dani are still struggling, but Michelle is the one who finds the tag first. When she does, Lake says, "Kiss me, darlin'!" in the same cadence you'd use for "I'll be damned," which I thought was cute, kind of. And then he adds, "Sugar blossom!" I wouldn't mind the occasional "sugar blossom." Just something to keep in mind. They get their clue for Segesta and leave.
Dave and Lori are driving through Italy. In the Lake and Michelle car, he asks if she thinks they need to Yield, because they know at least the girls are behind them. "Only if you want to," she wusses.
