They leave in this order:

Dustin & Kandice – 2:15am

Charla & Mirna – 2:50

Eric & Danielle – 3:06

Danny & Oswald – 4:37

The boat leaves at 3am so Dustin & Kandice made it.  Charla & Mirna just missed it so had to wait for the one that left at 4 so they meet up w/ Eric & Danielle.  Mirna says that Charla says Dustin & Kandice don’t know how to use the Internet.  Then she gets in a cab & once again belittles the driver trying to talk in some weird accent.  She used a cellphone to call to find the earliest flight on their way.  Dustin & Kandice are already there & get the flight that lands at 9:50pm.  When the BQs see Eric they tell him he is looking buff in his white shirt.  All 3 lead teams get on the same flight.  Danny & Oswald missed it by 5 minutes but find a flight that connects w/ the others & they will only have 45 minutes to make the connection.  They make it on so all 4 teams get to Guam together.

Eric says they hate Danny & Oswald.  The control tower doesn’t open until 7am & when they get the clue it is a Detour.  In Care Package they have to load a box w/ stuff to 500 pounds & then get on a plane for it to drop the package.  In Engine Care they have to scour a B52 bomber.  Charla & Mirna are the only ones to pick the Care Package & they were just whipping the stuff in the box as fast as they could & that pissed off the military guy & he yelled at them to use a degree of love.  Charla & Mirna’s package was dropped before anyone was done w/ the plane but they all were done before their plane landed.  Charla tries to get the plane to hurry by lying & saying it is life or death.

They have to go to a Naval Base & get another escort to drive.  Dustin & Kandice are 1st & pick the only woman.  The next clue was the Roadblock.  It’s a Search & Rescue mission.  They have to use a GPS device to find a pilot & then they will put new co-ordinates in it & they have to find where they call for an extraction & a helicopter will pick them up.  Dustin does it.  Oswald & Danny are lost so they pay a taxi to follow.  Eric has done all the Roadblocks he is allowed so Danielle has to do it.  Dustin finds the pilot.  Charla does her last Roadblock & she kept pushing buttons even though the officer kept telling her not to.  Danielle finds her pilot.  Dustin completes the mission & she & Kandice head to the Pit Stop.  Oswald & Danny arrive at the Roadblock & Oswald does it.

Dustin & Kandice finish 1st & won ATVs.  Danielle can’t find the extraction point.  Charla finally finds the pilot.  Oswald does too.  Danielle completes it & then the other 2 are close behind her.  Eric & Danielle get 2nd.  Charla & Mirna were 3rd.  So Danny & Oswald were Philiminated.  They said they would love for Charla & Mirna to win cuz they are a class act.  That makes me lose any respect I had for them.

Next week is the one-hour finale.  Dustin & Kandice finally argue w/ each other.

5/6:  The teams have to fly to Hawaii & sign up for a helicopter flight that leaves 10 minutes apart.  They leave in this order:

Dustin & Kandice – 11:53am

Eric & Danielle – 12:55pm

Charla & Mirna – 1:29pm

Dustin & Kandice get to the airport & find out that the quickest flight lands at 7:40am & book it & ask the agent not to tell anyone they saw 2 blondes.  The agent asked what color is blonde.  I am not sure if she was joking on how she wouldn’t answer their question or it was a language thing & she really didn’t understand.  But I think it is funny that they are referred to as the blondes when the other all-girl team are bottle blondes too.  Eric & Danielle find out that the flight the girls booked is sold out but another one connects w/ the same flight in Tokyo so they will get in together.  Mirna is on the 1st flight w/ the couple & then when Eric & Danielle are on the 2nd w/ the BQs Shmirna never shows up & they have no idea what happened.  What happened is Mirna found another flight that got in at 7.  So they landed first & the other 2 teams ended up being just 20 minutes behind them.

Shmirna got the 9am helicopter ride & after that they had to get a Jeep & drive to the harbor.  Eric & Danielle got 9:10 & the BQs got 9:20.  Shmirna got to the Detour.  For Over they had to sand & paddle to a buoy to get the clue.  For Under they have to go to an underwater cave to a buoy & swim down to get it.  The girls chose to paddle & Mirna bitched & whined the whole time.  Charla was better at it as usual & Mirna made the excuse that it is cuz she is little so a lower center of gravity.  It doesn’t explain how the guy demonst rating was at least average height & he did just fine.  She is such a whining snatch & I don’t know how anyone can tolerate her.  Charla is able to get the clue so Mirna didn’t even have to go all the way to the buoy.  I think since it is a team event they both should have had to complete it.  But that’s just me.  They now have to go to a shipwreck on the beach & trek a mile.

The other 2 teams do Under & then both pass Shmirna on the beach.  Of course Mirna yells at Charla & blames her for it.  She kept reminding her that it is a race like she didn’t know already.  Eric & Danielle get the clue first & have to get a kayak & paddle out to a buoy.  This is where you literally separate the men from the girls.  This was really tough for the all girl teams.  Dustin & Kandice capsized multiple times.  Mirna screamed at Charla constantly.  Eric & Danielle got the clue first &a mp; have to fly to San Francisco & find the Old Mint.  Dustin & Kandice were 2nd & on the drive to the airport they had their first shown fight.  But I don’t know if you could even call it a fight.  It was more like a therapy session.  It was the most mature argument I have ever seen.  Kandice told Dustin she wasn’t a good teammate cuz she wouldn’t listen to her during the paddling & she always listens to her.  She said she has no patience for her right now.  But then they both apologize & shake & move on.  This is why these girls are far & away superior to the other teams.  They are kick ass racers & treat each other & the locals w/ respect but never forgetting it is a game & doing what has to be done w/o being nasty.  Love these girls.

Eric & Danielle book their flight that gets in at 6:07.  Mirna lies as usual & tells the agent that it is an emergency that they get to Oakland .  I wouldn’t be surprised if these girls would say that there was a death in their family since they always tell people it is life or death.  It’s just money honeys.  Dustin & Kandice booked the same flight as the couple but stayed to watch Shmirna to make sure they didn’t get a better flight.  & they don’t so they are all equalized again.

When the teams got to the Mint it wasn’t a Roadblock but something they had to do together.  1 person from each team would go in a room & answer 4 questions that had to do w/ which team from the Race they thought would answer each one.  Each team was represented by a number so you would then have a 4-digit code that the first person locks into the machine.  Then the 2nd person has to get the same answers to get the code to unlock the box.  The 2nd person only had a 10-minute time limit though so if they don’t get it right in that time they get the clue anyway.  The questions were:

Who is the least trustworthy?

Who has the best sense of humor?

Who is most overrated?

Who will you keep in touch w/?

Romber’s name was used often for the 2 bad ones.  Eric & Danielle were first & she got it right on the 3rd try.  Kandice & Charla were never right & Kandice’s 10 minutes were up first.  Next they had to go to the Botanical Gardens for the final Pit Stop.  Charla uses her usual lie to the driver & claims it is life or death.  Eric & Danielle got their first to win TAR: All-Stars.  The spoilers were dead on this season on the order from start to finish.  Eric said he never slowed down for Danielle & is proud of her.  Dustin & Kandice got 2nd.  They said they were happy for Eric & Danielle.  Charla & Mirna were last.  Mirna went on & on like they cured cancer or something cuz of how Charla did on the Race.  Again, this is the difference between them & the BQs.  Charla just brags about how they are the greatest ever while the girls talk about how great the experience was & the memories they will have forever.  The BQs are far & away better people than the shady Shmirna.  Phil gives a phone to the winners saying they can call their families to tell them but it was just Eric’s old partner Jeremy being an idiot.
