The task called for a good listener, so who better to do it than Ronald? He does seem to listen to people, as long as they aren't his daughter, so he zoomed through the task pretty quickly. Nate called Jen a good listener so she took on the task for them. Listening is the last thing I'd want to be good at if I was dating either of those two yahoos.

Lituvus Wargarble Whatsit

Still lost were Shana and Jennifer who were driving around in circles. Jennifer suggested Shana stop the car and ask someone but Shana argued that it would waste time. Yes, let's not cut into that all important driving-around-like-clueless-morons time. Eventually Shana asked a local for directions and they were off to St Anne's.

The next destination was clearly chosen by the sadistic producers because of its damn near unpronounceable name. The nearest approximation I can get is Lituvus Wargarble Whatsit. This is Lithuanian for "Land of the Product Placement Gnomes". Teams had to find a Travelocity gnome among its surly Lithuaninan cousins.

The teams were happier with carrying a gnome around with them than a chicken because at least the gnome was "a lot easier to care for than the chicken". Eh, I prefer the chicken. At least it wasn't a product-placed Rainbow Farms chicken or anything.

Detour

After the field of gnomes lay a Detour ? teams either had to count fence poles or walk on stilts to a finish line. Both options were at the same location, and a variety of festival-types pranced around in outlandish costumes. Kynt and Vyxsin had another goth-gasm at the thought of being around others who enjoy dressing up and looking ridiculous. Except I'm way more impressed with the locals' costumes than I am with emo-black lipstick and hair the colour of Vanish liquid.

Stilt-walking is not easy, as teams like the Goths, TK/Rachel and Ronald/Christina quickly learned. The Goths abandoned their stilt-walking for counting posts but lost a chunk of their lead in the process, which allowed the Hippies to sneak a first place ahead of them. They won a trip to Japan and were so excited you'd think someone had snuck ecstasy in their weed.
