BAD EGGS: What did we learn during this leg of the Race?

We learned that as obnoxious as Mirna is, that sometimes, Christie can give as good as she gets. And then Mirna and Charla can go lower, yet again. Still, even if God's on your side, sometimes a bus driver isn't, and sometimes you can get shaken down like a Philadelphia City Councilman in the late 1970s. That said, as scary as the bus situation was, there's nothing scarier than an hive of African bees, a fact fans of Bowling for Columbine already knew. Apparently, you can't send a reality show to Africa without playing cheesy Lion King-esque music in the background.

Also: this ain't Survivor, and alliances aren't all that useful, and Colin needs to pick up a copy of Cook's Illustrated, because even a dozen eggs should take no more than three minutes to cook scrambled.

Things we relearned: there's no team nicer than Chip & Kim, and, lest we forget, A Roadblock Is A Task Only Charla Can Perform.

Still, some crafty editing plays with your expectations at the end, and you don't believe the ending is real until it is. In the Comments, let's talk about it.
