I came in when everyone was riding tandem bikes in Australia with Mo and Jo doing some quality yelling at each other. Then I learn the Hippies suddenly have a rivalry with MoJo.

That was some bad luck for the Old Folks. They were smart and called ahead for a taxi after their ferry ride just like MoJo but their car wasn't there.

The Hippies were back in the second spot until Blonde Hippie couldn't figure out the prison Roadblock and Jo passed him up. That gave us a legit sprint to the finish, but Team Nipple Ring jingled their way to victory once again.

This was a very time-consuming challenge so when the Black team finished it in fourth you knew they were safe. They tried the fake drama on us but the Oldies came in last and said good-bye. A very nice showing by them though. They have every right to be proud, and weep for joy.

So then I went to the CBS website to see if there were any video clips that would help me. They have a bunch of footage to watch but here's all I learned:

The Hippies begged for money on their flight to Australia.
The hump on Monica's hair is more hair.
The Hippies' lack of money motivated them for "full-frontal action."
The Frat Boys said they told MoJo that the Hippies planned to Yield them.

OK, so that last part was useful. That would explain why the Hippies and MoJos aren't getting along.

Then I went to the recap on the CBS site and learned that the Old and Black teams gave the Hippies money at the beginning of the leg but the Frats left an IOU and MoJo also dissed them. That would explain the desire to Yield.

I also learned that the Hippies picked up a Bedouin who needed a ride and he bought them gas and food. The Hippie magic is back!

And hopefully my VCR magic will be back soon too. Let me know if I missed anything really cool!
