She's still in there after the ads, although Kent is yelling at her, "You need to calm it down. This isn't working." Unlike the yelling of Kent, which is totally working. The guys on the dock help haul her out, and Kent gets off with their backpacks. "You gotta get a grip, sis," he says as he follows her up the steps. "Lets' go up and catch a taxi." But don't step in front of one, or else Vyxsin's going to end up like Paul McCrane in Robocop.
Kisha and Jen arrive in third place. They'll take it, as always, because that's probably the best ranking they'll ever get.
Jet and Cord get their hay delivered and receive their Pit Stop cue in sixth place. Ron and Christina do the same, in last. At the Pit Stop, Mallory emerges from a doorway whooping, and whoops all the way to the Mat, where Phil eyebrows at her before telling them they're team number four.
Meanwhile, the supposed fifth-place team is trying to flag down a taxi on the street, and Vyxsin wastes time trying to hire an empty tuk-tuk. So it's not entirely surprising when Jet and Cord arrive on the mat in fifth place. They high-five, and Cord explains, "Every time we had a chance to bust it and get back in the race by pure grit and try, that's what we did." And after a self-congratulatory speech like that, the Heroic Cowboy Theme probably would have been overkill.
Ron and Christina get in a water taxi to the Pit Stop, Christina saying it's the fastest way there so she's hoping nobody else has the same idea. Well, someone else did, but it didn't exactly work out. Speaking of whom, Kent and Vyxsin flag down a passing tuk-tuk and ask the driver if he can take them there. "I can take you," he says. "All right, get this guy out!" Kent demand. Wait, what? He and Vyxsin both rudely shoo this blurry-faced dude out of the vehicle, which makes me want to make them blurry-faced. Seriously, who the fuck do they think they are? I don't know what the rules are about hijacking tuk-tuks are in Varanasi, but it seems like preference should go to fares who don't reek of Ganges-water.
