Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Macau, Right In The Kisser
By Miss Alli | Season 11 | Episode 10 | Aired on 04.21.2007
Eric and Pink grab a taxi to Macau Tower. Eric says in the cab that he's not too worried about being Yielded, and he figures that one of the other teams arrived at the Yield in time to Yield the BQs. That, of course, would not be dirty play, unlike the BQs' Yielding of him, which was totally dirty play. I have whiplash! I can barely keep up!
Kandice steps out onto the rim of the observation deck. As my best friend noted at this point, this is the part that would be much more horrible than the jumping, if you were afraid of heights. Inside, Charla is kind of glad that she doesn't have to go first. As she walks, Kandice tells us that this part is "more of a mind test than anything else." I always notice that Kandice has this way of narrating things to the camera when she's fairly obviously trying to straighten them out in her own head. Like, she really is kind of spazzing out, but if she keeps talking, she doesn't have to think too much. Down on the ground, Dustin is about as freaked as I've ever seen her, tearing up a little bit as she watches Kandice all the way up there. Maybe she's afraid that having used the Yield by proxy will cause a wind gust to come and blow Kandice off the side of the building. Karma, you know. Danny starts his deck walk as well, and he looks pretty unfazed. And then Charla leaves, and she's really booking, even as she says that she's being blown around by the wind. I like the part where Charla's like, "I have never done anything like this in my whole entire life." Because it's kind of obvious, given how many of us similarly have never walked around the edge of a tower wearing safety gear, and yet it's really cute.
Now, Kandice changes into jumping gear, which turns out to be different from walk-the-deck gear. Maybe something with wind resistance? Anyway, she verifies with her safety guy that it's really okay to jump off the building, even when it's windy, which is exactly what I was thinking. I think just like a Miss America contestant! And then she jumps, grinning the whole time. This isn't a straight jump, in the sense that they're kind of lowering you, but it's still damn high. When Kandice is on solid ground, Dustin runs over and hugs her so hard that it knocks her attached body-cam off. Aw. Asked by Oswald whether she loved it, Kandice lowers her voice and says she thought she might "crap [her] pants." Ladies and gentlemen, Miss New York! They receive a clue that tells them to take a taxi to Lo Lim Ioc Garden, where they'll search the garden for a clue. In the first example of a pattern you'll see repeated throughout the leg, they leave just as Eric and Pink are arriving at the tower.
