So basically, the only thing of any "significance" that occurs in this episode is the crazy overreaction of every other team to the fact that, in accordance with the rules, Dustin and Kandice used the Yield to slow down Eric and Pink in the previous leg. You'd think that no one could possibly get upset about this, but the most indignant team of all is Charla and Mirna, who were not even involved. What follows is Mirna at her truly pitiable best, believing she is dispensing various spicy rejoinders when, in fact, she is making a complete idiot out of herself with her sparkling wit, evidenced by remarks like "Yield Queens." Although Mirna behaves as aggressively and as rudely as she possibly can, and although Danny and Oswald decide to throw Charla and Mirna a totally uncalled-for assist, Mirna gets dusted in her big battle with the BQs, who get themselves on the standby list ahead of her -- which doesn't really matter, since both teams get on the plane, but it was a moral victory if you don't dig Mirna. Which I don't. In Hong Kong, Danny and Oswald are adorable while taking on a movie-stunt Fast Forward, while the other teams scramble up some scaffolding while trying to avoid flying kung fu guys. Oh, yes. I'm serious. The Roadblock involves kicking doors down, at which Charla turns out to be surprisingly talented. In the end, although they mess up the Detour choice, don't read the clue, don't communicate with their taxi driver, go the wrong way, can't drive, and basically race like idiots, Charla and Mirna come in third, because Eric and Danielle can't get on a good flight and then don't race particularly well either. So Eric and Pink come in last, but are not eliminated, yawn. The entire episode is uneventful and annoying, and it's particularly depressing that there doesn't seem to be a team left besides the BQs that understands what it means to be in a competition and not take it personally. Boo.
