2:25 AM. The *wins. They are wearing matching shirts with the word "LOST" on them and a picture of Phil, though it's hard to make out yet what exactly the rest of the shirt says. I'm certainly not above sporting a picture of Phil, so I'm behind that. Erwin explains that their first priority is to "enjoy the adventure." They add that if they wanted the money, they'd be lying and cheating more. I'm not sure what they'd be lying and cheating about, so much, but I assume they know. Maybe they'd be lying about their love of Phil, which they clearly are not.

2:49 AM. Dave and Mary. Dave explains in their mat-leaving interview that he wants to win the race in order to get out of the coal mine. I'd say that's a fairly compelling reason. He talks about taking his kids to Disneyland or on airplanes, and it's very nice to hear people aspire to things you could actually do with a million dollars after taxes, rather than "I'd never have to work again," "I would roll around in my gold bullion for all eternity," and other fantasies. Because you could, in fact, just about afford Disneyland. Of course, then: back to the coal mine. In your Mickey Mouse ears.

2:53 AM. Lyn and Karlyn. Lyn explains that this is really the first time the two of them have spent this kind of 24-hour face-to-face time together. The underlying attitude doesn't exactly seem to be, "And I can't believe how much fun it is!" Indeed, Karlyn explicitly adds, "I'm sick of looking at her." It's only the fifth leg! Hate your partner in the final leg! You might still have to drag her ass around and pay the locals to paddle a boat for her! (But I kid Flo.)

3:46 AM. Dustin and Kandice. (Look at that long, long gap. They were very far behind.) Kandice says that it's "do or die" for the BQs now, because they're in last place and need to really be on top of their game. She says that there will be no allowing other people to get in front of them because they aren't "aggressive enough." That's exactly the way she got to Miss America. Just ask all the girls who "mysteriously" wound up with food coloring in their toothpaste. In the cab, Dustin says she hopes that the first train won't leave till morning, which would allow them to catch up with the rest of the teams.

At the train station, Rob and Kimberly arrive first, and they are quickly followed by Peter and Sarah. Then Tyler and James, the *wins, Dave and Mary, the *lyns... it's a party! Party at the train station! Fashion show at lunch! And then Dustin and Kandice get there, and they are very happy to see that the other teams are all hanging around. Nobody else acts happy to see the BQs at all. Whether that is because they aren't well-liked or because it means everyone is tied really remains to be seen.
