Episode Report Card M. Giant: B | 140 USERS: B YOU GRADE IT Smithing and Sewing
By M. Giant | Season 21 | Episode 4 | Aired on 2012.10.21
Abbie finishes sewing their mattress, and they ask for approval. In response, the judge just picks up several big handfuls of leftover cotton and drops them back on the ground, in the international sign for "your mattress sucks." They figure out that means they'll need to open it up and stuff more in. Be sure to do it long, strong, and hard.
The monster truckers and the twins are now fine-tuning their work, each using their sledgehammers to hit the smaller hammer where their blacksmith is placing it to show them where to go. The twins get an okay, and celebrate while their blacksmith bangs out a few finishing touches before giving them their clue. Rob & Kelley appear to finish almost immediately thereafter, and the two teams read the clues sending them to the Pit Stop in second and third place. It gets a little complicated here, because Phil says they first have to get to what he heroically refers to as Keronigonj Kholamora Launch Ghat, where they'll take a riverboat to Old Dhaka (there's a new Dhaka?), specifically a place called Swarighat. And then they have to go on foot to the Pit Stop, which is still Shambazar Chan Mia Ghat. "The last team to check in here may be eliminated," Phil says from the midst of all the activity in the area. After three elimination legs in a row? Not likely. Both blacksmithing teams run off in search of their drivers.
The Chippendales reach the market next and start searching through a bag, Jaymes gagging as he sticks his whole head in there. Theirs seems to have the loudest flies so far. Josh & Brent show up and spot them. While rummaging around, Jaymes says, "This is like when you can't find the scoop in the protein shake." The goat farmers join the hunt, and actually find their fish next, holding it up so the Chippendales can see it. They find their own fish soon thereafter, and the two teams head off to the cotton task in fifth and sixth place.
Abbie and Ryan finish re-sewing their mattress. While the judge is checking their work, Abbie says, "I'd sleep here tonight." Then the judge gives them a thumbs-up, Ryan hugs him aggressively, and I realize Abbie was being serious.
