2:25 PM. Millie and Chuck. I assume it's raining, because if those aren't weather-related hoods they're wearing, they've taken to wearing full-body condoms. Which would seem like rather an extreme step. Upon seeing the clue, Millie yells out, "India! Yes!" and puts her fists over her head in a victory gesture. Wow, that is really too much gumption for 2:25 in the morning. Between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM, I believe we should all live in a gumption-free zone. Anyway, as Chuck reads the clue, Millie actually babbles over him while he's talking, because Chuck's life is an endless appearance on The McLaughlin Group, and he is stuck in Eleanor Clift's chair. The clue -- to the degree that you can hear Chuck read it -- tells the teams to fly to Mumbai, India. There's a faboo shot of a big flock of birds scattering as we see the generic Mumbai establishing footage, and then Phil explains that the teams will find their way to Film City, which is part of India's well-known "Bollywood" moviemaking complex. According to the teaser footage, this task will feature dancing girls. During his off-the-mat voice-over, Chuck says that he and Millie both get "overly frantic," which I think is an interesting observation, because they do both get frantic, but they do it in completely different ways. He freezes, while she stops thinking and flails around like Animal on The Muppet Show, going, "Eat drums! EAT DRUMS!" As they throw their bags into the cab, Millie asks the driver if she can borrow his cell phone to call about plane reservations. Bunching, schmunching -- she will prevail! Somewhat ominously, Chuck interviews about how important trust is and the degree to which he and Millie don't have it. It's kind of sad, actually. In the cab, she calls and starts asking about flights.
