ON TOP AGAIN
Arriving at the clearing, Dustin radioed for a helicopter, tossed her smoke grenade and waited to be picked up. A thrilled Dustin enjoyed her ride in the military helicopter and returned to Kandice where the pair opened their clue instructing them to drive 11 miles to the Pit Stop at Fort Soledad, a 19th Century fortification built to protect Spanish galleons from pirates.
As Charla, Danielle, and Oswald all struggled to use their GPS devices, beauty queens Dustin & Kandice arrived at Fort Soledad to claim another first place finish. Phil informed the excited pair that, along with an appearance in the final three, they had each won an all-terrain vehicle. Phil joked with the happy beauty queens, "Do you have any idea how many toys you guys now have?"
END OF THE ROAD
While Danielle began crying as she panicked over finding the landing zone. Charla and Oswald still hadn't even found their pilot. Eventually, Danielle realized that hitting the buttons on the side of the GPS device threw off her reading. This discovery allowed her to get back on track just as Charla and then Oswald, who walked directly by many times, locate their pilots. Oswald joked to the pilot, "How much do I not like you?"
As Eric & Danielle sped away to a second place finish, the race for the last spot in the final three boiled down to Oswald & Danny and Charla & Mirna. While the cousins took a lead out of the U.S. Naval Base, they went in the complete opposite direction forcing them to turn around. The tension rose with so much at stake, but the cousins pulled through by stepping onto the mat in third place and celebrated with a very loud cheer.
Arriving at Fort Soledad in last place, best friends Oswald & Danny received the bad news from Phil that they had been eliminated from the race. After pledging their support for Charla & Mirna who they called a "class act", the best friends reflected on the race and their friendship. Oswald commented, "We ran the race the way we wanted to run it. We had an amazing time doing it. There will be many chapters written about Oswald & Danny and the Amazing Race happens to be a paragraph." Danny added, "To be able to go through this and survive it twice leads me to believe that I will have Oswald in my life always. He'll be pushing the wheelchair as I'm going into the home, the gay nursing home that I'm going to open up." Oswald quipped, "Hopefully by then he won't speak so much that he'll be interrupting me every time I say something." |
