Mob Rule Travel Agency. The agent has good news at last -- something has just opened up that goes through Amsterdam and arrives in Warsaw at 9:45 AM. Not as good as the BQs got, but better than 11:25, certainly. Mirna and Charla and Danny and Oswald all get tickets and leave for the airport. The travel agency bolts the doors, grabs some tea, and talks for six solid hours about how obnoxious Mirna was. By evening, the neighborhood is leafleted with her picture, encouraging no one to allow her admittance.
Eric and Pink have, in fact, found another travel agency. They give the information about wanting to get to Warsaw. Everything they're looking at, however, is full. There isn't a lot of time for dallying, so they give up and head for the airport to use the flight that's already reserved. Sometimes, you just have to love the one you're with.
Mirna and Charla and Oswald and Danny get on their flight, and Mirna and Charla blow kisses to Zanzibar as they board. Zanzibar wipes its face off. Their flight takes off at 4:00. They're headed for Nairobi, then Amsterdam, then Warsaw. Eric and Pink are still at Zanzibar airport, where Pink is telling us that she and Eric are not getting along very well right now. He says she's touchy; she says she's not. He interviews that there's no handling her when she's like this, and that she just yells, which he doesn't like. She tells him that he's no fun to be around at all anymore. And then they look deeply into each other's eyes and start singing "Some Enchanted Evening." Okay, not really.
7:01 PM. Five pages into the recap, Team Guido finally opens their clue. They immediately realize that they can only hope to make the flight landing at 11:25, so they have to hustle to the airport. Bill insists in an interview that the field they're facing is "the best field in the history of The Amazing Race," which I don't consider true at all. This field isn't even as good as the field they dealt with the first time. And I don't want them to say that, lest "best of the best" mythology arise where it is not warranted. At any rate, they haul ass to the Zanzibar airport, because they barely have time to make the "bad" flight everybody else was trying to avoid.
