Brian and Greg note that they have to wait for a backup car before they can go.
Ron and Kelly turn in some of their corn, but they've got some left. Rob and Amber arrive at the box next, and they choose the water and start sucking. Heh. Metaphor! Lynn and Alex take the Food. The first thing Lynn wants to tell Ron and Kelly is that "the boys wrecked." And then: "We stop [true], help them out [not so true], and then Amber and Rob? Drive straight on by!" He just loses so much of the cool they get for stopping when he's more interested in updating Ron and Kelly on Rob and Amber than on the crash, you know? This inspires Kelly, who has this little red-statey moment when she tells Ron that Rob and Amber "do not deserve!" And then she's like, "No quitting," because it's all about moral superiority, and shut up and whatnot.
At the Detour, Rob and Amber suck.
Lynn and Alex and Ron and Kelly both have some trouble with the grinding, as Rob and Amber work on filling up their last few eggs. Ron and Kelly finish first and get going. Phil explains that they're driving themselves to a dried-out lake, and when they get there, they'll spend the night out in the desert. Ron and Kelly leave. Rob and Amber finish up the last egg, bury them, and get their clue. They head out to the pit stop in second place. Lynn and Alex are still working.
Ray and Deana approach, then Meredith and Gretchen and Uchenna and Joyce. All take Food. Ray is already yelling at Deana for being too slow, probably to the surprise of no one.
Crash site. Replacement vehicle. Once they get going, Brian says a prayer, beginning with a request to God to be with their camera guy. Aw. And then they pray for guidance. (God: "Well, okay.")
Up ahead, Lynn and Alex are trying to grind the corn, and Lynn is like, "You suck!" Because he's nice that way. Alex points out that he doesn't suck; he's right about how to do it, so it's Lynn who sucks. Or something. "This is how you do it," Alex says. "Yeah, if you have 20,000 years!" Lynn snaps. Oh, come on, now, boys, don't fight. Your nice relationship is one of the few things you have going for you, as far as I'm concerned.
