The judges unbelievably let them move on, and the only conclusion I can come to is that they have blonde hair. They were unquestionably worse than The Babies and Moronald and Christina. Maybe the judges are just tired of watching their culture made into a mockery at this point, who knows? The Blondes move along and so do The Hippies, as they have managed to find an ounce of gold.

The Blondes approach the U-Turn box and notice The Hippies very close on their heels, so they decide to U-Turn them and assure themselves a safe lead. This would probably be a good move if they had actually pulled out The Hippies' picture and stuck it on the sign. Instead they pull out Jason and Lorena's picture - apparently mistaking The Hippies for the never-to-be-marrieds. As we all know, Jason and Lorena haven't even arrived at the Detour yet and pose virtually no threat at this point. Another brilliant move by the LA Blondes. The big blonde feels bad about doing the U-Turn, but the little one assures her that it's all part of the game and other teams wouldn't hesitate to do it to them. Again, true, but usually U-Turns serve some sort of strategic purpose, not just delaying a team who is already trailing way behind, and all because The Blondes can not identify their fellow racers. As they post up the picture (one of Jason and Lorena to be U-Turned, and one of themselves as the U-Turners) they stop to admire what a good picture it is of themselves. It is actually a deceptively good picture. Now get out of here, girls.

Who are they?

The Hippies see the U-Turn and tell us that it is not a very wise move by The Blondes since now they will have a target on their backs. The Blondes must be pretty confused when The Hippies don't turn around to finish the Detour, but board a taxi of their own and head to the Goat Market. In the taxi, the little blonde says that they love Jason and Lorena, but felt it was the right decision to U-Turn them. The big blonde whimpers that karma is a bitch. Do I sense a blonde feud coming on?

Jason and Lorena arrive at the Detour at last and decide to shake their booties. Little do they know, they will also be shaking a pan. Meanwhile The Siblings and The Babies are arriving at the Goat Market and spotting goats and chickens being transported in very uncomfortable-looking methods to the market to be sold. The Siblings get to the clue first, and wouldn't you know it - it's a Road Block. Phil?

Only one person can perform this task, which is to load up a bicycle (popular item this season) with a giant ton of awkward items, including a goat, then pedal their loaded bicycles to another market and deliver their supplies to an individually specified vendor. Azaria takes this one, and so does Jennifer. The goats look so uncomfortable strapped into their little laundry baskets, but I'm not going to quibble with the starving. Other items they have to load are blankets, water containers, tea kettles and a plant.

Aw...

Jason and Lorena perform their dance for the celebrity judges and Lorena tells us that Puerto Ricans love to dance - apparently she's Puerto Rican. Jason tells us that when he first saw Lorena she was on a dance floor and he wanted to dance with her because she's hot. True love, I tell you. They get through their crazy routine and Jason says he feels like he's on American Idol - in Africa. Jason, you card. The judges let them pass and they (and we) bid farewell to the judges and all of the dancing muppets.

"See you next time!"

The Hippies manage to surpass The Blondes in their taxi - again I'm wondering how confused The Blondes must be at seeing this - and Jennifer has her bicycle all loaded up and ready to ride to the market. Nathan is off to the side yelling at her, of course. As she stops to ask a local for directions, her goat tries to eat her clue. Hooray, little goat! The next three teams arrive at the Goat Market, these being Jem and Rio, Grandpa and Nick, and Moronald and Christina. Jem naturally takes the challenge, and so does Christina to spare her father from a hernia flare-up, and then we have a Festivus miracle when lanky Nicholas participates in his very first challenge and decides to tackle the Road Block! Way to get in the race, Nick! Grandpa, have a seat.
