The mini-recap is up at TWOP for last night’s episode:

Television Without Pity » It’s another week in Egypt as the teams climb down into a pyramid, get to know the local wildlife, and dig that crazy thingamajig that none of them has ever heard of. Mirna experiments with a theory that she can take your taxi even if your stuff is still in it, and when it doesn’t work the way she hopes it will, you will not be surprised to hear that she concludes that people who want to continue occupying their own taxis are “maniacs.” Even goats don’t like her, and they eat cans.

Chip and Kim have another strong week, Brandon and Nicole bubble along in the middle of the shrinking pack, and the moms dig out of their fiscal hole to get themselves back in the game. It’s not as hard as you’d think.

The Twinkies continue their quest for a Nobel Prize in physics by wondering aloud what “descend” means, while Marshall and Lance hobble along, crippled by Marshall’s knee issues.

In the end, it’s another leg where the editors are stuck with a difficult task in creating suspense, because a certain pair of brothers are kind of nowhere near anyone else all day. And sure enough, by the end of this fairly short leg, it’s a not-so-fond farewell for Marshall and Lance, who dishonor their entire quest for cheap-ass product placement by actually punking out on the Roadblock, becoming the first team in history to intentionally quit in the middle of a leg just because they don’t feel like doing it anymore.

Not walking any farther because of your medical emergency? Understandable. Not digging out the stone to finish the Roadblock? Pansy-ass, to the Nth degree. That’s what you get for putting people on the show who don’t give a good goddamn about anything except getting their t-shirts on television. Let that be a lesson to you, casting types.

Oooh, Miss Alli gives it to ’em good and proper. And rightly so.
