“No, Let’s Just Go” Phil’s Diaries: Ep 7 Parting Words: Charla & Mirna

As the remaining four Teams completed the Detour and closed in on the hotel, Chip and Colin sat down to the bountiful feast of eggs. While Chip made caviar look like ice cream, he had a more difficult time with the eggs, explaining that they can't just be swallowed, but must be chewed as well. Colin, unhappy with the consistency of his eggs, heated them again on the skillet in hopes that they would be more palatable. Chip continued to power through his plate of eggs and finished while Colin's plate still remained full. Chip & Kim opened their clue, which instructed them to walk to the valley's edge and take a zipline, known as a flying fox, over a gorge 230 feet deep. Once they reached the other side, they had to run to the Lake Manyara lookout, a watering hole for Africa's wildlife and the Pit Stop for this leg of the Race.

With the arrival of the other four Teams at the Roadblock, Christie became worried as she watched her Team's lead slowly slip away as Colin struggled to choke down the eggs. Karen dug into her pile of scrambled eggs in hopes of catching Colin, while Brandon and Kami got off to a slow start. Lagging behind, Charla began cooking her egg while her partner Mirna suggested how healthy the egg will be for her.

Taking the zipline across the gorge, Chip & Kim arrived at the Pit Stop in first place. Host Phil Keoghan informed Chip & Kim that, as winners of the seventh leg of the Race, they had won a vacation to Latin America, compliments of American Airlines website, AA.com.

ELIMINATION
Choking down the last bites of his egg, Colin ran out of the hotel with Christie, leading the pair to a second place finish. Now fueled by a chance to finally get ahead, Karen beat the remaining Teams at the Roadblock as the bowling moms celebrated a third-place finish, followed by Brandon & Nicole in fourth place.

It came down to an eating race between Kami and Charla. Twin Karli commanded, "Don't look at it, Kami! Just shovel it in your face!" To a weary Charla, Mirna cheered, "You're doing a really good job. You're almost finished." In the end, Kami, using as much water as possible to choke down the eggs, ate her entire plate while Charla still had several bites left. For Kami's effort, the twins earned a fifth-place victory, once again narrowly avoiding a last-place finish.

After enjoying the gorgeous view on the zipline, Charla & Mirna stepped onto the mat in last place, where Phil informed them they were eliminated from THE AMAZING RACE. On her experience, Charla remarked, "I just wanted to prove to the world how much I can do, and it's not easy when there's…always people thinking you can't do it and you have to work extra hard to do it…[but] you have to do it. You have to accomplish your dreams." A teary Phil told Charla, "You have an amazing spirit." On her one-of-a-kind cousin Mirna, Charla added, "She's just an amazing person to be around and to have as a cousin. I just love her."
