Marcy and Ron make it to the mat at last, and are Philiminated. Ron admits that he's "deeply disappointed," but Marcy is grateful for the opportunity to be here in Vietnam. She tells Phil about her dad who was shot down. "Through his tenacity and determination, he was rescued. I just get choked up." And that's what she's doing. And honestly, as much as they deserved to lose, it wasn't a lack of tenacity and determination that cost them this leg; just a lack of speediness. She solo-interviews, that you can't hit a home run unless you step up to the plate, "And I think going on the Amazing Race was stepping up to the plate." Fair enough. Next time bring a bat.
