So after all that, all the teams are on their way to Mauritius on the same route, connecting through London. (Amazing Yellow Line: "Oy.") In Mauritius, the teams hop off the plane and start looking for the marked cars. Tyler and James comment on the very nice weather they're having. When they get to a car, they find a model boat that says, "Swim to me." And the boat is called "Isla Maurita." As Phil explains, they have to figure out (!) that this is a real boat anchored in Grand Bais. Really? They have to figure something out, rather than just "drive here"? Shocking! As Tyler and James get going, they're having a little trouble remembering what side of the road to drive on. It turns out that they have left the airport, however, with absolutely no idea where they're going. They start to wonder, once on the road, whether that was the best idea. James thinks a hotel might know where the thing is, but Tyler isn't sure where a hotel would be. See, I would have tried someone at the airport, knuckleheads. I swear, they would leave a Walgreens and drive to a hardware store to buy tampons.
The *lyns and BQs are getting in their cars as well. Karlyn wants to drive out to the street and see if someone knows where this boat is. "So we're not waiting on Mary and Dave?" Lyn asks. "No," Karlyn says. "We don't have time to 'wait.'" Mary, on the other hand, is headed out to the parking lot and telling Dave they need to find their group. The BQs think the clue is "cool." The Pointies are out and driving. The BQs think they might be able to ask some guys who are standing around whether they know what the boat is. The Pointies are right behind them. Dave comments that he and Mary are waiting on the *wins, who now emerge -- last, as usual -- from the airport. Meanwhile, Lyn is out on the road stopping to talk to a guy who tells her that the boat is on the north side of Grand Bais. When Dustin gets directions, she seems to think "Grand Bais" is something called "Grumby." The surliest clay toy ever, no doubt. Rob and Kimberly have no idea what the guy said, but they're following the BQs. The *wins and Dave and Mary find out from the same guys that the boat is at Grand Bais. Mary reminds us as she and Dave drive that she's afraid of fish. Dave, on the other hand, says that he's afraid of water in general, because when he was five years old, his cousin got the genius idea of throwing him in a lake to "teach" him to swim. This has "traumatized" him about swimming. Mary calls his a pretty common "rite of passage" where they're from, throwing kids in the water to make them swim. Sounds like a great idea. I also like to throw them through windshields to make them wear seatbelts, and I've heard that if you throw them out of trees, they can learn to fly. What do you think made Phil the person he is today?
