Run It Up the Pole and See Who Salutes

Lexi takes this one, which she and Trey find pretty funny for some reason. But first, they have to get the crates they loaded into the backs of their cars at the beginning of the leg, to carry the mushrooms in and, more importantly, to show off that foot-operated lift gate again. Lexi looks at the three varieties, which she describes as "kind of like flowers," "mushrooms," and "big brown mushrooms. " With such vivid language in her mind, how could she fail? As she heads into the tunnels, which are apparently much chillier than she's dressed for, Trey says he's feeling good about being the first ones there. Lexi wanders around, looking at all different kinds of mushrooms and getting confused and creeped out. She finds one batch of the brown mushrooms before a light goes out on her and she has to gather them in the night-vision camera. I take it that the perfect conditions for growing mushrooms also includes limited exposure to light, because that's going to be happening to people a lot.

When the Chippendales arrive, Jaymes cackles at the Roadblock clue and volunteers, "I'm a fun guy." He certainly works hard enough at it. He goes to unload the crates while James stands with Trey at the waiting area and talks about the other two teams being behind them somewhere after going to the Chow Detour.

On the way here, Josh tries to confirm directions with Brent, who says, "I don't...know. I don't think it's right." Helpful.

The twins finish the feeding task, asking the judge, "C'est bon, c'est bon?" It's good; as the guy hands them their clue and gets a one-armed hug in return, they rush out, not bothering to stick around to watch the feeding frenzy in their hurry to hear that French horn fartfest one more time.

The goat farmers have pulled over to check their map. "We need to be on D-30," Brent explains. Josh pulls out into traffic, although they probably should have waited until they knew which direction to go.

Jaymes goes pounding into the tunnel, calling for Lexi. She's still running through the dark like she's on Ghost Hunters or something, but she seems to feel good about having found her third variety. Now if she can just find her way back out. "These are my little sea-life ones here," Jaymes says with satisfaction as he spots some growing off the side of some dark blocks of God knows what. Lexi finds another batch that she thinks might be more correct than what she already has, and baskets those, saying that if she gets back up there and it's wrong, "It's definitely going to be disappointing." Jaymes finds some that "look like bread," and the lights go out on him, too. And on Lexi again, who's lost and praying for guidance out of here as Jaymes is already running back out. Hurrying past the waiting area, Jaymes says to James and Trey, "Don't get excited, it's really confusing down there." Trey gets the opposite of excited. But Lexi is soon running toward daylight as well.
