SFist Watches: Your Locals On Reality TV

All the teams make it on a flight to Johannesburg, where they will then have to fly to Addis Addaba, and then Frankfurt, before heading to Helsinki. Once there they looked for the Kappeli Cafe where they logged into AOL Email (product placement alert!) for video messages from their family (cheese alert!). Their next clue revealed they'd need to travel by train and cab to the Soppeenharjun Koulu school, which was 125 miles away. All the teams caught the same train.

Once in town, Team Bama totally cut a line to steal a cab, while the Chos got left behind for being polite. At the school, they had to wander around and look for the clue box. Detour! Swamp This--cross country skiing through a mile-long muddy course, or Swamp That--an obstacle course in the mud that required brute force, not skill. The Chos, in last place, chose Swamp That. It was sloggy, it was muddy, it was dirty.

Clue! Teams now had to take a train 107 mile to Turku, and then drive 78 miles to Lohja, where they'd need to take a tram into the Tytyrin Limestone Mine and look for the clue box. The Chos headed off for the train in last place, and missed the first train. On the second train, the bros found someone who actually worked for the mining company, and although we didn't actually see them gain any useful information from the dude, we're assuming he gave them directions to the mine or something.

At the mine, in third place, the Chos found the Roadblock, which required them to bike into the mine, retrieve some limestone, and crack it open to reveal the clue. Oh man, we can't believe the miner from Kentucky didn't get to do this Roadblock! Godwin made his way down the mine, with jerky Rob on his ass the whole way. He beat him, but once they hit the road, the Chos were in last place.

The teams then had to drive themselves to the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki. Wait a sec. The clue didn't say it was the Pit Stop. We smell a superleg! Once at the Stadium they had to rapell down a huge tower, face first. And shoeless. Yeek. Team (Former) Junkie Models made it down, but we were right about the superleg. We'll have to wait until next week to see how they Finnish it. Ha! GET IT??

Last week on "America's Next Top Model" Melrose still reigned supreme, while Anchal was eliminated because she didn't have the self-confidence to maintain a career as a model when all those around her were telling her she's too fat, when in reality who wouldn't kill for a bod like hers, right?!

Melrose continued to not care what the other girls thought of her this week, yadda yadda. Oh no! Another painful acting exercise! The first exercise: act crazy. Second exercise: dump. Um. I don't think we really want to see that. Oohh. She means "dumping feelings." Actually, we don't want to see that either. Especially Melrose's fake ranting. Or CariDee admitting she once tried to kill herself. Can we go back to them writhing on the floor acting crazy?

All the stage drama lead to their challenge which involved acting in a silent movie. The winner of the challenge would get a guest spot on "One Tree Hill." And that winner? CariDee. Because they didn't want her to try and kill herself again. Also, all the girls are going to Spain. The...uh...Spanish fashion capital of the world!

Spain! Everything's in Spanish. Crazy! A bunch of male models get on the bus with them and they all go to dinner. The girls soon learn they'll need to shoot a commercial in Spanish (well, Catalan) and make out with one of the male models. It comes out that the guy partnered with Jaeda doesn't like black girls, but we didn't really get that from what he was saying. Maybe he said it off-screen?

During the commercial shoot, Jaeda broke down because she didn't want to kiss the racist guy. Melrose did great, OF COURSE. CariDee totally blew it. And the twins both sucked.

Panel! Time to watch the embarrassing commercials! Actually, the commercial was a montage of all of the girls, but the girls got to be grilled based on the "best" takes. Needless to say, it was painful all around. Except for Melrose, OF COURSE, (although, we thought she was way too giggly). Backstage all the girls got on Melrose's case for her pointing out that she had stayed up late studying her lines. Well, she is bit of a teacher's pet, ain't she? During the commercial break they also showed an English version of the Secret commercial, and hooo. It was better than the Catalan one!

Judgment time! The judges thought Melrose was really great, but some still think she looks too old. Don't matter, she's still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model.

Jaeda is not.

"Survivor." Yul continues to hold the immunity idol, and hasn't been under any threat of getting voted out, so he hasn't had any need to use it yet. How long will that last?

Tree mail! The teams got some kind of code board, with what looked like flags painted on it. Aitu decided to try and memorize it in preparation for the reward challenge, which was hopelessly complicated, as they usually are. It involved giant compasses, compass points, knots, treasure chests, flags, and solving a code. Easy peezy! The prize was flying to a local island and eating a native feast. Yul and the Aitu tribe gained the lead early, and their memorization of the flags must have proved helpful as they solved the code pretty quickly. They won reward.

At their reward, Aitu was met with a traditional, native greeting, and were carried to the cook-out on bamboo thrones. Much eating, grass skirt-wearing, and dancing followed. Yul was also pounced on by some full-figured gals who turned him into a Yul sandwich.

Tree mail! A map of the islands of the Pacific. Immunity challenge! Pontoons; diving for island names; matching island names to a blank map. On your mark, get set, go! Aitu got an early lead, and dominated the challenge, winning immunity for the fourth time in a row. Yul is cool for another week, woot!

In a twist, the losing team had to take a bottle containing a message back to camp with them, and they wouldn't be able to open it until after they had voted at council. It turned out to be a note telling them they'd have to vote out ANOTHER tribe member. Double elimination! And the two booted were Rebecca and Jenny. TTFN!
