The Amazing Race: All-Stars You Need To Watch Your Jokes, Guy

Season 1,  Episode 5 | Original Airdate: March 18, 2007

After hunting in the snow for beacons using technology that flummoxes Oswald and Danny to a surprising degree, the teams head to Mozambique. The Roadblock requires them to commune with land-mine-sniffing rats, and if you don't believe that's for real, you underestimate…well, the usefulness of Mozambique's rat population, I suppose. Everyone winds up bunched a few times, and in reality, your finish in the leg comes down to which Detour you pick. It's the second week in a row where choosing the wrong Detour seals your fate in terms of front-of-the-pack and back-of-the-pack, because it turns out that they asked teams to earn such a small amount of money for street manicures that they could have picked up that much in coins out of the gutter before the punishing coal task was completed. Mirna and Charla pick the manicures right away, and they take first place in what's clearly the only way they were going to. The BQs are a bit behind, but they come in second, and they're followed by Teri and Ian, who come in third despite having screwed up, gotten lost, and stumbled on the manicure task while looking for the other one. That's sort of how you can tell it's tilted. Anyway, the rest of the teams head for the pit stop covered with coal dust, and Oswald loudly threatens that he's going to hug Phil. Phil actually runs from the mat, leading to a most delightful chase scene in what's usually not a chase-scene kind of show. Finally, Oswald settles down, and they get checked in. Then Guido and Eric and Pink battle it out for what they believe to be last place, and Guido emerges victorious by outrunning Danielle, whom Eric will now torture forever based on, he says, the fact that she lost to "queens." This really happened. Uchenna and Joyce come in last, but they are not eliminated. They are "marked" next week, so tune in to see whether God decides to give them more miracles.
