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
Azaria and Hendekea arrive at the fort.
Nick prods Don as Don tries to put the stone in the wall. Don is denied again. In a sequence that's suspiciously Frankenbitey, in that nobody's mouth is moving at any time, Nick allegedly is all, "You've got to move faster," and Don is all, "I am tired." I think they're going for something here that's not really happening, so much -- the kid is frustrated, but I don't think there's any serious elder abuse going on or anything. If Nick punches his grandpa last week, I am going to be so shown up.
At any rate, after some more commercials, Don finally gets the stone in place, and they leave for the roof of the fort. Azaria and Hendekea are finding the fort, and TK and Rachel are up ahead, pulling the pit stop clue. They get a cab for the cross. Up on the roof as they're strapped in, Nick looks down and sees Azaria and Hendekea, so those two teams apparently are really close to each other. Speaking of the brother and sister, when they get the "builder's eye" clue, Hendekea just says, "Azaria, you have to do it." And there's something about the delivery that smacks of "it's too important for me to do it," and that's unfortunate. She's a perfectly capable person. Nick and Don zip line to the tower, and Hendekea looks up and sees them, excitedly pointing out to Azaria that there's a team within reach, so they're not out of it, which they probably thought they were. Nick and Don read the Detour clue, and Nick thinks they ought to get in the boat rather than rappelling, to give Don a chance to rest. Azaria works on the Roadblock. Nick and Don zip down to the water. Azaria finishes the Roadblock, so they're ready to go.
BOOM! Welcome, TK and Rachel, you are team number four. They're very happy with this finish, all things considered, including the fact that they're pretty nice people in general. I wish she hadn't said the "gymnast" thing.
Azaria and Hendekea get to the Detour clue, and they take the boat, with him saying that'll be good because that way, he can do the rowing. Oh, pish.
I do not believe at all that Nick is saying "You've got to move faster" to Don at all, because they keep showing that and he keeps not being close enough to see his lips moving. But at any rate, Don has done at least some of the rowing, and he asks Nick if he wants to row a while. Nick says yes. Meanwhile, Azaria and Hendekea zip to the water and look for their boat. "Just keep going, Nick," Don encourages. He pushes Nick to go faster (so they're even, I think) and kibitzes him about the oar placement. "Worry about yourself," Nick says. "I'm helping you here, if you know it or not," Don says. Definitely a little Bickerson action going on with this team. Fight! Fight! Fight! He's no match for you, Nick -- you've got both backpacks!
