The Beauty Of Coming In Last

Tyler and James get to the airport. Predictably, they aren't happy that Dustin and Kandice are there ahead of them, because these teams are locked in an eternal battle between bitter rivals, or else they all kind of want to make out with each other and don't really know what to do with that. The A(AM!)s go inside and locate the BQs, who reveal that they're going through Milan. The boys check on the Milan flight, but there are no more seats on that one. Now, the BQs finally check on the actual connection to Ourzazate, finding out that it leaves at 10:55 PM and is basically the only flight there. So now the BQs have booked themselves a very close connection in Milan in order to get them to Casablanca seven hours before their next connecting flight leaves. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Kandice, incidentally, is confidently pronouncing the city "OR-a-zad" now, which you could kind of figure out isn't right by counting the Zs. Once you're at the airport, you ought to know how to pronounce the city you're going to, is my opinion.

9:08 AM. We learn from the *lyns that they are getting no money for this leg. They chat on the way off the mat about what language is spoken in Morocco, and Lyn offers "Moroccan." Karlyn waits a beat, then points out that this is not a language, and they laugh. Lyn interviews that it's weird to be all that's left of their alliance, but they wear the distinction "with pride." Honestly, I think Karlyn couldn't care less. I think the needle on Karlyn's attitude only budges about two clicks nicer than "better you than me," even with people she genuinely likes. She says that the competition is tough, but they're "ready for it."

At the airport, the Pointies ask for tickets connecting through Casablanca. I'm pretty sure the "additional information" told them they had to do that, just because of how all the teams are presenting that as the challenge to the ticket agent. I don't know why I always feel the need to point out things like that, except on the theory that I am some kind of dry reality-show historian. Bore-is Kearns Goodwin, as it were. Tyler and James are the next to show up, and these two teams determine that there's a flight that will connect through Paris and get to Casablanca at 4:35 PM. Plenty of time, obviously to wait for the 10:55 PM flight to Ourzazate. The BQs come wandering up, and they ask whether this group found anything. Given how bad they are at projecting nonchalance in this situation, I hope neither of them had "acting" as her talent. Rob looks at them and tells them that they're all getting in at 1:00. "To Casablanca?" a BQ asks in disbelief. Rob confirms that they have tickets to get into Casablanca at 1:00. (Of course... it won't matter unless... well, never mind; I don't want to wreck his joke.) Rob doesn't crack as Kandice chokes out a chuckle over the fact that they "thought [they] were doing so good." Rob interviews that the BQs "race with a certain amount of arrogance," which I completely agree with, which is why I don't blame him for this at all. The assembled boys have some fun watching Dustin try to choke back her pissed-off-edness and recast it as passive-aggressive smiling. Dustin insists that she's not mad, she's just trying to figure out why they didn't find out about the flight. "You know, I'll tell you why," Rob says, drawing out his moment as every guy should. "Because it didn't exist." The group laugh at the BQs expense is richly deserved, and then the A(AM!)s and Pointies get their tickets through Paris.
