Episode Report Card M. Giant: B- | 38 USERS: B YOU GRADE IT They Are The Egg Men

Leo & Jamal are still searching eh field, saying they've been up and down every row several times. Thus they give up on it and decide to switch tasks. "Stupidest Detour I've ever chosen," Jamal says. Wait, but if they did the makeup task instead, why does Jamal still have his beard in the post-leg interviews? You don't fool me, pre-commercial cut to ads.
But they're back in their cab, and they show up at "Paint Your Partner" to find all three of the other teams still in progress. They're surprised to see that, but not as surprised as Jason is to see them show up. "Needle in a haystack, huh?" Jason asks. Good lord, how did Jason already hear about the clever phrase Jamal coined? It's catching on fast. Amy interviews, "Remember that little thing called karma?" and flashes us a sunny smile. Leo & Jamal sit across from each other at a workstation, realize they have no idea where to start (and even if they did, some of the other teams are looking pretty rough even though they have ladies in them). This is probably the first time that their alliance with Ally & Ashley could have helped them out. When they realize they have to shave, that's the final dealbreaker. Back to their cab, and back to the other Detour, and at least they're motivated now that they know what's going on at the one they're too hairy to even attempt. Too bad we never saw Adam & Brendon give this one a try.
The other three teams continue with the task. "This is the worst thing I've ever done in my life," says Jason, who has had a pretty good life, then. He unsurprisingly has the second-best makeup in the room (after the model). Tim tells Marie to stop wasting time powdering his face for fun, because she totally is. Soon Jason & Amy are getting their wigs put on, but Travis' face is is a mass of sloppy black smudges, as though Nicole's been applying his makeup using charcoal briquettes. Tim & Marie have pretty much caught up with them, in fact. Jason & Amy are the first to finish the Detour as well as the Road Block, and their next clue is telling them to go to the Pit Stop. "Teams must now descend five hundred steps to the bottom of the Cimahi Waterfall," Phil says, "the Pit Stop for this leg of the race." The last team to check in here, he says, gesturing to the mat from a wooden footbridge a stone's throw away from it, "May be eliminated." With two legs and four teams left? Doubtful. In the cab, Amy tells Jason he did a great job. "I feel completely ridiculous right now," he says. Well, mission accomplished, then.
