Heffalumps and Wildebeests

With one question to go, Lex Loser is in the lead with two points, and all the others except Teresa have one point each. Peachy tells Teresa that she won't compete in the last round, since it's impossible for her to win; even so, I imagine she'd like to continue hearing how poorly her husband knows her experiences, desires, and fears. The last question asks for the S6's greatest achievement. Kimj chokes up as she answers that her proudest accomplishment is her family: she's been happily married for thirty-seven years, and she has three great children. She then continues, "And not having any family of my own before that..." Was she an orphan or something? In any case, Kimj's husband agrees almost word for word. Eerie, but that's what thirty-seven years will do, I guess. Ethan is most proud of playing professional soccer, but his mom rambles on about his having competed in the state soccer tournament as a high-school freshman. Ethan is shocked and says, "Because there's nothing after high school." Which is so true, and the others laugh. Peachy points out that Big Tom didn't even hesitate; instead, he immediately wrote down three letters. Tom says his greatest accomplishment is his son and Peachy doesn't even have to play the tape, because his wife knows. She does know, so Tom gets a point. Kimp says that calling off her wedding at the last minute was her accomplishment, and acknowledges that it's a strange choice; her mother agrees, and cites Kimp's "solo trip to Europe." Lex Loser says, "Like Big Tom, I have no doubt." His two sons -- again, even the shifty one -- are his "crowning achievement," and his wife agrees. As he proclaims Lex Loser the winner, Peachy says, "Lex [Loser], it seems every time I turn around, I'm handing you something." He then tells Lex Loser to go easy on his Visa card. His Visa card. Got it? What is he, a college freshman? Peachy then reveals that he can't let Lex Loser go alone, and suggests that he take a companion. Lex Loser doesn't deliberate or give any excuses as he picks Big Tom, who promises, "I'll be the best date you ever had." Then the other members of Mofo Maji hug Tom and Lex Loser goodbye; as we go to commercial, a brief clip reveals Lex Loser and Big Tom skipping -- arm in arm -- through an open field.

Lex Loser and Big Tom clutch at each other and giggle, then resume running through the brush toward a waiting plane. Once boarded, Lex Loser explains to Tom that they're on an airplane on their way to Masai Mara; he says it blows his mind. The plane is very small and low-flying. Lex Loser tells us in a confessional that he knew, when he picked Big Tom, it would be a roller coaster ride. He says that "if anyone should see something completely different and really experience Africa," it's Tom.
