TAR: Gnome-ward bound

This week's exotic destination was the country known as 'Lithuana' to Nate, and 'Lithuania' to everyone else in the world.

After coming in second to Azaria and Hendekea last week, Nate and Jen were determined to take that ever elusive first place. "We have a ball of fire inside us," Jen said. I hear Gaviscon helps with that kind of thing.

One thing was for sure — with all those fireballs rolling around inside Nate and Jen, there was no space for love and affection. Contrast this to Ronald and Christina, who constantly shower affection on one another. Well, Christina does. Ronald mostly just talks about pastries.

I'm just a sweet transvestite...

Kynt had a goth-gasm at the prospect of travelling to Lithuania. Ever since he was a wee lad, he's wanted to travel to Romania or Transylvania. No doubt he's watched 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' a few too many times. Never mind that Romania is nowhere near Lithuania on a map. Any 'ania' will do, I suppose.

Jennifer, of the Brokedown Blondes, was still racked with guilt over having U-turned Jason and Florena in the last episode. Ye gods, you made them waste a bit of time. You didn't send them to the Rack to be stretched. Shana was unrepentant, mostly because Jason and Florena were dead gone, and they were still around. I agree with her. Put away the razors, Jennifer. There's no need for self-cutting.

Time for airport shenanigans. The first team to hit the Air Paris offices was Ronald and Christina. No surprise that as soon as Christina tried to book a flight, Ronald was on her case telling her she was doing it wrong. "I'm teaching her to be able to deal with different people," he explained. She's certainly learning to deal with pompous, hyper-critical jackasses, at least.

Secret agent man

Despite having booked first, Ronald and Christina ended up on the latest flight. Donald and Nicolas were the next to arrive at Air Paris HQ and tried to oh-so-covertly book the earliest connection. As soon as the other teams walked in, Nicolas told the travel agent to book them later flights. "We can hear you," Hendekea deadpanned. Don't look for Nicolas to be replacing Daniel Craig as 007 any time soon.

Nicolas' career as a suave secret agent was dealt a further blow when Azaria and Hendekea managed to snatch the last couple of seats on the flight they wanted. Even worse was the fact that after they were forced to book a later flight, Nate and Jen somehow managed to get another couple of seats on the earlier 1:25 flight, hanging on to the wing or something.
