OSWALD & DANNY FALL SHORT AGAIN
Navigational woes caused the elimination of best friends Oswald & Danny who finished in fourth place, just like in Season Two. Meanwhile, beauty queens Dustin & Kandice broke their fourth place curse with another victory as they, along with cousins Charla & Mirna and dating couple Eric & Danielle, now battle for the one million dollar prize.
PLAYING CATCH UP
Departing the Pit Stop in first place at 2:15am, beauty queens Dustin & Kandice discovered they needed to fly over 7,500 miles to the island of Guam and then drive nine miles to Andersen Air Force Base. Due to military security, the Teams would then select a military escort to drive them to an air traffic control tower where they had to climb the stairs to find their next clue on top.
Arriving at the airport, the beauty queens did their research and bought tickets on a Cathay Pacific flight departing at 9:05am, connecting through Tokyo, which would land in Guam at 9:50pm. After securing their seats, Dustin & Kandice walked away from the counter as cousins Charla & Mirna and dating couple Eric & Danielle purchased tickets for the same flight. The beauty queens lamented, "The beauty of being first. We do all the work and they go, 'I'll have what they had.'"
Last place Oswald & Danny, marked for elimination, arrived at the airport frantically running to make the flight the other three Teams already boarded. The duo's hopes were crushed initially as the plane soared away, but an agent informed them the 10:15am flight to Tokyo would also connect to the plane landing in Guam at 9:50pm. However, they received a warning that they had only 45 minutes to make the connection in Tokyo.
While the best friends flirted with disaster, Oswald & Danny ran through the terminal in Tokyo to board the connection to Guam with only moments to spare. Noting the other three Teams disappointment at seeing them, Oswald quipped, "We're not sure whether we landed in Japan or in Alaska, because we felt the cold breeze, freezing cold, but we don't care."
TOP GUNS
Landing in Guam, Oswald & Danny took a lead out of the airport followed by cousins Charla & Mirna only to find out that military escorts wouldn't arrive to take them to the air traffic control tower on Andersen Air Force Base until 7:00am. When the escorts arrived the next morning, the Teams raced to the tower where they found a Detour having to choose between Care Package and Engine Care. In Care Package, Teams made their way to a warehouse to take part in an Air Force humanitarian relief effort by filling a box with 500 pounds of essential supplies for locals on neighboring islands. Once their box reached 500 pounds of supplies, Teams would board a massive C-17 cargo plane for a one in a lifetime opportunity to experience an official Air Force airdrop exercise. When they returned to the ground the Load Master would hand them their next clue. The task required relatively little physical activity, but the training exercise took roughly thirty minutes to complete. In Engine Care, Teams had to scour a B-52 bomber by choosing an engine pod, with its sail and wing flap, and washing it clean. Once the Senior Air Force Maintenance Officer was satisfied with their job, he would hand them their next clue.
As Eric & Danielle, Dustin & Kandice, and Oswald & Danny all opted to use a little elbow grease to make our nation's fleet of B-52 bombers sparkle, Charla & Mirna wanted to lend a hand to those less fortunate than themselves. After throwing in a wide array of items from food and clothing to mathematic books, the cousins reached the required weight of 500 pounds allowing them to board the enormous C-17 cargo plane to make their airdrop. |
