Taraweasel, Boston, and 3Cha are still making their way to the station. "You gotta just, like, floor it, man," Alex tells their driver. "It is floored, it is flat, so do not panic, we will get there," the slightly irritated driver tells him. Heh. Way to stand up for yourself, driver. Don't let the neckless push you around. Of course, Taraweasel now passes Boston, so the definition of "floored" depends on what particular cab you happen to be in. In the Cha cab, Ozzie explains that they are sticking with Taraweasel and Boston, and the Teeth are on their own.
Speaking of Blake and Paige, here's Blake, on the way to the FF: "The game is getting tight, you know...this is the final four. I don't have any loyalties, or alliances, or anything. It's Paige and I versus them." First, wouldn't that be "Paige and me"? ["Actually, the verb 'to be' requires the subjective case except in its infinitive form, so, no. In case anyone's working on an Amazing Grammar manuscript." -- Sars] Second, when did Blake ever have any loyalties or alliances? When has Blake ever played for anyone but himself? In short, shut up, Blake. Cheater! Speeder! They find the speedboat and take off. Flying down the river, Paige clutches her absurdly inappropriate knit hat (take the damn hat off, sweetheart), they look for the flag, and the only highlight is when Blake gets splashed with water right in the face and reports that it's cold.
Tara and Wil, apparently due to the stellar performance of their taxi driver, are the first to Wentworth Station. Boston is right behind, followed by Oswald and Danny. The clue sends them to the Nevis Highwire Platform, which is out in the middle of a gorge. To get there, you drive up the mountain and then hop a gondola. (No, not a gondola like in Venice -- a gondola like at a ski resort.) On the way up, Wil wants to discuss what the hell a Nevis Platform is. Heh. This will be a nice one for Wil, Afraid-Of-Heights Man. The word "platform" doesn't really thrill him so much. Worse yet, he opens what looks like a little brochure, which indicates that this platform is the home of the "mother of all bungee jumps." Tara is tickled. Wil smiles nervously, and it's officially Wil's First Endearing Moment Ever.
