Weeping and whaling

The Roadblock is taken by Gerard, Flo, Jill, Andre, and Derek. There is much frenetic snail-cart assembly footage, and then it's time for the hard sell. The seller is supplied with an attractive white coat (apparently, the international symbol for My Snails Are Healthy And Sanitary, Despite Their Appearance).

Aahab drives the sand bike straight into a ditch. Aaron complains that he crashed it because Arianne was screaming like a girl. I'm not sure I really believe that's why he crashed, but I suppose it's not worth worrying over now.

Back in snail-land, various approaches to selling are attempted. Jill asks how to beckon customers in Arabic, while Andre just flat-out begs for help from the crowd. Heh. I can understand that. "One bowl! You don't have to eat it!" he yells. Heh, again. Flo and Jill yell to each other as they work. It's clear that one of the challenges here is that there are now five of them selling the same thing at the same time within a very short distance, so from a business perspective, it's partly just a matter of distinguishing yourself from numerous extremely local competitors. Oh, and also they're selling snails. Which are made of snails.

Aahab finishes the Detour, and it looks pretty dark already. It is not looking good for Aahab.

Gerard says "Si" to one of his customers. Bzzzt! Heh. Eventually, though, once he dons the little white cap that seems to be the other part of the uniform, he starts to move the merchandise. Flo bubbles over with enthusiasm in thanking her customers. "I love you! I love you!" she yells. You know, she just needs to stop screaming in general, and I have a feeling I might like her a lot better. Derek is running behind, but the white hat seems to be the charm for him, too. Andre finishes first, and the route info directs him to the Riad Catalina. Phil re-explains that this is the pit stop, almost as if he didn't already do that when Asshat got the Fast Forward. Thanks, Phil. They do provide the crucial dramatic shot of the Amazing Mat. Look! The mat! It will be someone's undoing! Look at the mat! Anyway, back on the streets of Marrakech, Andre retrieves Damon, and they set off toward the pit stop in first place.
