Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Faltering Economy
By Miss Alli | Season 12 | Episode 6 | Aired on 12.08.2007
Jen and Nate and Kynt and Vyxsin are still looking for the clue box.
Ron gets himself a stone that fits in the wall, so before anyone else has even found the clue box for the Roadblock, he's done and getting his next clue. The clue tells them to "make [their] way to the roof" of the Fort Of St. Lawrence. Phil says that once they get up there, they'll take a tandem zip line that will take them to another tower. They begin to head for the roof, and Nate and Jen and Kynt and Vyxsin consult a map to see where the hell they're going. Up at the top of the roof, Ron and Christina are strapped into their safety gear for the zip line. "I just ate. I might throw up my lunch," Ron offers. He certainly is a wad of difficulties. "Don't close your eyes, okay?" she says to him. "You will never see this view ever again." Aw. Zzzzip! They fly through the air, and they are both screaming. Quite a lot. "That was awesome," Christina laughs as they get un...safety-geared. They read the next clue, which is for the Detour. The Detour options are Short & Long or Long & Short. Phil says this is a choice between "ways that foreign armies might have tried to invade Dubrovnik." I really hope that Short & Long is shooting a short person out of a long cannon, because that is totally the one Nate and Jen should do. Phil explains that in Short & Long, you rappel down the fort, then follow a marked path to a city wall that you scale using a rope ladder, then you go on foot and navigate through the old town to a clue box. In Long & Short, you take another tandem zip down to the water, then you swim to a platform and row a little fishing boat around the harbor, winding up at the same clue box. So the first one has more running around, but the second one has more boat-rowing. But it has no climbing. I'm not sure these are very balanced, honestly. But Phil says that this second option might not be for "teams without extreme physical prow-ESS."
Ron and Chris take the boat, thinking it's "easiest." So much for the need for physical prow-ESS. Apparently, that didn't get through as the message.
Finally, Nate and Jen and Kynt and Vyxsin find the clue box. And I do mean "finally." Nate and Kynt take the Roadblock (remember, with the blocks?) for their teams. "Just fit it in every hole, okay?" Jen says. And I really feel like if I add "in bed," it's going to make this site pop up in a lot of very naughty Google searches. Vyxsin suggests that it's "just like Tetris," which is amusing mostly because the best comparison Vyxsin can think of for fitting something into something else is Tetris. Not a Lego set, not...you know, building blocks...but Tetris, which this really has nothing to do with.
