Drew blocks a kick. Go, Drew! Finally, Teri and Ian and Aahab arrive at the stadium. Aahab wastes a moment standing on the stairs being shocked that they're the last people to get there. They are wondering...how can this be? Is there something wrong with the universe? Down on the field, John Vito stops a kick, but frankly it more looks like he's so big that eventually the kid just hits him with the ball. As he and Jill walk off toward the pit stop, he says, "Did you see how I stopped it? With my face!" He's proud. Heh. "Yeah, yeah, come on, sweetie! You did great!" she says with affectionate impatience. Next, Zach just barely deflects a kick up and over the goalpost, so FloZach is off. Heather then blocks one as well, and Heave takes off. The last two to take to the goals are Ian and Arianne. (Arianne? Why? Aaron's so much taller than she is! She's teeny! Idiots.) "Block it," Teri commands. "Oh, yeah, right," Ian says, as enthusiastic and upbeat as ever. Aaron tells Arianne to concentrate, but he then starts loudly fretting as it doesn't go well. "I'm too short," Arianne complains, quite correctly. Bad call, having her do this particular one. Ian, like Zach before him, just barely touches a shot that wasn't very good in the first place, but it's enough to make it hit the top of the goal and bounce away harmlessly, so he's all done. Arianne continues flailing about in the goal. "We're done," Aaron moans. "We're out."
This would be a good moment to pause and recall the following: "Ride their asses." "Get those twins." "Twin hunt." "Too pretty." Just sit and bask in how ridiculous they look and how ineffectual they've been this entire leg. It's funny how old saws are sometimes dead on, but "pride goeth before a fall"? Yeah, that would be it, right there. Humble up, kids; you're not helping your karma any.
Teri and Ian take off, leaving Aaron and Arianne alone on the soccer field. Oh, and as Teri and Ian leave, they read the clue out loud, and again, she reads the sentence, "Now, you must walk to the pit stop."
Commercials. Secret Platinum? Should deodorant really involve platinum? I'm thinking that would be expensive.
