CLEAN AS A WHISTLE
As the cousins took to the air for their humanitarian effort, the three Teams on the ground needed plenty of effort to clean the large wing flap, pitch black with dirt. After a maintenance officer pointed out a dirty spot on the beauty queens' wing, Kandice joked, "There's no charming the sergeant. The sergeant was all about business. We weren't getting anywhere with a smile. We had to scrub." While Eric & Danielle and Oswald & Danny kept scrubbing and scouring, Dustin & Kandice's cleaning skills earned the seal of approval from the United States Air Force. Opening their next clue, the beauty queens discovered they needed to drive 21 miles to the U.S. Naval Base Guam where a naval escort would drive them to the next Route Marker.
Scrubbing equally as hard, Eric & Danielle finished cleaning the bomber right behind the beauty queens followed by Oswald & Danny in third place. When their cargo plane touched back down after launching their supplies, cousins Charla & Mirna already were in last place leaving the Air Force Base. Mirna commented, "We're worried because it's the final elimination before the final three, a race 'til the end. We don't want to finish today. It's so awful."
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Pulling into the U.S. Naval Base alone in first, beauty queens Dustin & Kandice selected their escort who drove them to their next clue, a Roadblock. In this Roadblock, one Team member had to take part in a naval search and rescue training exercise. Using a hand held GPS device, they needed to navigate through the jungle and locate one of four Search & Rescue training officers. The officer would then program additional information into their GPS unit for finding a new course to a clearing in the jungle. Once there, the Team member had to call a helicopter to request "extraction," set off a smoke grenade to signal their exact position and wait to be picked-up and returned to their teammate.
Dustin suited up in her military gear, grabbed her GPS device and began walking along the base in search of one of the four officers. Following the arrow on the GPS, she likened the mission to "searching for your Easter basket." Soon, Danielle and Charla joined Dustin in the search as a lost Oswald & Danny found directions to the base. After Dustin located her pilot and started walking to the clearing, Danielle couldn't locate hers even though the GPS told her he was directly in front of her. She couldn't see him in the dense brush and kept walking past, but eventually she found her man and headed to the clearing as well. Meanwhile, poor Charla didn't know how to operate the GPS device very well allowing Oswald, who finally began the task, an opportunity to catch up. |
