The teams receive instructions to fly to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, which means that the entire first part of the episode is taken up with people trying to say "Ouagadougou" without sounding like total idiots, which very few manage successfully. Ron is nursing a hernia at the same time, because apparently, haranguing your daughter really takes a toll on your innards. After a long plane ride highlighted by a few almost-but-not-quite big leads developing, everyone took a bus into the African savannah, where they had a little party that allowed Donald to develop a big (and futile -- SPOILER!) crush on Marianna and Julia. Shana and Jennifer let their inner ugly Americans get some air, but everyone had to buckle down when the Roadblock required someone to milk a camel. This challenges everyone, but it"s not a huge, huge issue for anyone but Lorena, who totally freaks out when she can"t get the camel to give up the milk. For whatever reason, when the second-to-last-place Marianna and Julia finally figure out that one should milk the camels that have babies near them, they decide to pass this advice on to Lorena, who promptly uses it to finish the task. A Detour focusing on either teaching or learning language allows everyone to share some adorable moments with the local youth, but when Jason and Lorena catch up and then pass Marianna and Julia, the sisters are eliminated. We came so close to getting rid of one of those irritating couples that always seem to end up in the final three, and it is so infuriating, you guys. Anyway, there"s something of a reprieve from the intensity of last week"s Ron/Christina ugliness, so at least there"s that.
