Macau, Right In The Kisser

The BQs are now on a ferry as well, and they say that they're glad to be alone, since ferries have a bad history of turning into huge bunching points. Danny and Oswald, meanwhile, get to Macau Tower and learn that it doesn't open until 10:00 AM. So that really is a bunching point. Dustin and Kandice get off the ferry and get the rickshaw clue. When they hear that there's a Yield coming, they're kind of concerned, given the "dirty hookers"-style reaction they got from using it last time. They get the information on Macau Tower, and in the cab, Dustin says that she senses that maybe they're going to be Yielded. I have the same sense.

7:06 AM. Mirna and Charla. As they head off the mat, Mirna interviews that there are actually people who think that she should treat Charla in a special way because she's short, but she just treats Charla in a regular way. As you will see in certain parts of this episode, she's telling the complete truth. She treats Charla in exactly the same way she treats cab drivers and ticket agents, not to mention other contestants. No favoritism, no fuss. Mirna assures us that while other teams probably see her as "a tyrant," she's just trying to win. And you can't win without berating your partner, DUH. I did briefly thrill to the idea that Charla would get to the ferry and do another round of her pantomime explanation of "amigo, we need to go to the ferry." That would make Mrs. Music Stylist the happiest lady in America. But no, they go to the terminal and get on the boat without incident, international or otherwise. Mirna says that they should get their "barf bags ready, just in case." I'm sorry, the joke is just too obvious. It's like stepping on a bug.

Danny and Oswald are standing around at Macau Tower, stressing about the amount of money that they have. Or, really, that they don't have. Oswald says they only had $73, and they spent $50 on the ferry and more for cabs, so they're in fairly desperate need of cash. Just then, Dustin and Kandice show up. They start to chat amicably with the boys, and Oswald is "teasing" about the guys being in front of them, while Danny "mock"-threatens that they're going to Yield the BQs. Of course, this has the effect of reminding the BQs that Danny and Oswald could, in fact, Yield them, and it might not be all that funny. Remember, Danny and Oswald did, in fact, say in the cab that they if they Yielded anyone, it would be Dustin and Kandice. And they did, in fact, merely note that they didn't think they'd "need" to use the Yield -- and that was before they lost a lead of an hour and a half. I kind of think that they want to Yield someone anyway, because they're concerned about having lost their entire lead. Oswald says to the BQs, "We have a little offer on the Yield." Oswald explains that they're broke, and they need money, and in exchange for money, they'll Yield whomever the BQs want. It kind of feels like something comes before this, though, because of the way Oswald says "we'll Yield whoever you want." It's like a name has already been put out, and Oswald is qualifying by saying it can be anyone. But I could be making that up. My mind is sometimes almost as creative as Mirna's. The BQs have a chat in which they discuss whether or not to take this deal.
