It's the killer combination of adrenaline-fueled competitiveness AND grinding tiredness. If I've got the times right, Nat & Kat (doctors) started out at 1 AM, got a flight to Oman that landed them at 8:55 PM, and then started their competition day at 7:45 AM, sleeping rough probably in the airport AND on a sidewalk in Oman.
It's a wonder that
all
the teams didn't drive aimlessly all over Oman looking for the task.
Did I miss something? Was Mallory an actual competitive beauty queen? If so, my estimation of her goes up by a bit, she sure didn't come off as worried about the state of her nails or her makeup.
Yeah, she was Miss Kentucky in the Miss America pageant. I believe that is what she said.
I think she was like a 5th or 4th runner up in the Miss America pagent. I didn't check, but that's what is stuck in my brain. Every time I see her I think..but..but she's OK with no/smeared makup and chipped nails, my beauty pagent view is all askew!
I was sad to see Gary and Mallory go. She was by far the best former beauty pageant queen we've ever had on the show. And I loved her relationship with her dad. I'm rooting for our two all girl teams to make top 3, but I'm worried about Nat and Kat. They do have a tendency to get lost. Isn't this the second time they've gone from first (or very close to the top of the pack) to last?
I always forget Jill and Thomas are even on the race until they pop up. They are a very non-descript team, which I guess is a good thing in life but a bad thing on the race. I was meh on the Chad/Stephanie engagement. She seems like she's too good for him, but if that's who she wants, god bless 'em, I guess. Nick seems to have totally forgotten that he swore off treating his awesome girlfriend poorly after the whole Ghana meltdown. Maybe if Vicki has another asthma attack and actually winds up actually requiring medical attention this time? Yuck. At least Vicki continues to rock.
I was disappointed that no one did the wedding dinner!
Me too, Theo. I did love how excited everyone was (for the most part) in delivering the water.
I thought the proposal was really sweet, pity it had to come from such a giant douchenozzle.
Just Desserts: Morgan's been an ass all along, but it this the first time he's been a homophobic ass?

I haven't watched the ep yet, but given that about 95% of his self-aggrandizing comments are about how manly and TOTALLY NOT GAY he is, I'ma say no. I've personally had him filed under "If he were a GOP congressman we'd have caught him in an airport bathroom by now" since the chocolate dress ep.
