All the skydivers arrive at the Aeroclub. Brandon and Nicole blow by the flag on the way to the entrance, even though they see it, but when the Twinkies get there, Karli gets their cab to stop at the flag, and she wants to get out. Kami overrules her, though, all, "Just because we see the flag, that doesn't mean this is the spot." So she makes the driver leave and follow Brandon and Nicole. When they all wind up circling back to that fateful flag, Karli understandably can't resist pointing out that she was right. Both teams pile out of their cabs at the airfield, and the first to the clue box is Brandon, so he grabs the little "1" off the post for their team, putting KamiKarli 45 minutes behind them. When he waves the "1" at the camera, it's particularly nice that Brandon resists doing a "We're Number One!" with one finger. To her credit, Kami immediately apologizes to Karli, and says she's sorry, and she should have listened. You know, people don't often do that quite that readily; that impressed me.
Commercials. DEAN CAIN! Okay, I'll tell you the story of my "Super Wishes" picture. In the early days of widely-used AOL, I used to hang out in some of their chat rooms (this was before I had Real Live Internet at home, even). During the run of Lois and Clark, they had a chat with him (I KNOW!), which I went to (I KNOW!). And they had a trivia question at the end, and the five fastest people to answer won autographed pictures. Thus, I have an autographed picture of him that says, "To Linda, Super Wishes." I am not even lying. It's mostly because I can type fast, and I'm obsessive enough to remember stupid details like the name of the award that they were fighting over in some early episode or another. Because that was the question. (I KNOW!)
When we return, Kami and Karli are sitting in white chairs, waiting for Brandon and Nicole to take off ahead of them. Karli is still pissed. Kami's like, "Get over it," and Karli's like, "I'll get over it when I want to get over it," and there are the Twinkies I know. Their moment of grace couldn't last, unfortunately. Brandon and Nicole's skydiving plane takes off. On the ground, we are treated to the extended dance mix of the Twinkie pout, with extra cowbell.
In the Colin/Christie cab, Colin feels the need to point out how much he'd love to go skydiving (because he's not a sissy or anything, AT ALL), but they're taking the Off-Road option on the theory that it will be faster. They are the first to arrive at the 4x4s, hollering "very fast" at everybody all the time, which is just getting really old now, so they should quit it. The guide tells Colin to follow the flags and get to the endpoint as quickly as he can. Colin takes off. Woooo! Off-roading! Anyway, so Colin is getting his Big Stud Moment on, and you can just kind of doze off around here if you want to. You won't miss much, except his efforts to overcompensate, if you get my drift. Yeah. When I told Mirna I didn't think he had a Napoleon complex, I shouldn't have said I didn't think he was short -- I should have said I didn't think he was short like that.
