FALL FROM GRACE: ROB & AMBER ELIMINATED
After three consecutive first place finishes, newlyweds Rob & Amber ran a sloppy leg and struggled to overcome critical mistakes that resulted in a showdown against cousins Charla & Mirna, a Team to whom they lied and from whom they stole a taxi. In the end, the cousins prevailed as a stunned Rob & Amber became the fourth Team eliminated from the race.
GOING SOUTH
Departing the Pit Stop in first place at 6:11am, newlyweds Rob & Amber opened their clue instructing them to fly to over 800 miles to Punta Arenas, Chile and find Lord Lonsdale's Shipwreck.
At the Puerto Montt Airport, Rob & Amber secured tickets on a 9:40am flight to Punta Arenas and then, always trying to gain any advantage possible, went to a nearby computer to research the location of Lord Lonsdale's Shipwreck. As the couple hunted online for information, married couple Uchenna & Joyce, dating couple Eric & Danielle, best friends Oswald & Danny, and beauty queens Dustin & Kandice also booked seats on the 9:40am flight to Punta Arenas.
Arriving at the airport in sixth place, married parents Teri & Ian received the troubling news that the 9:40am flight to Puerto Montt was fully booking meaning they would have to take the later flight at 11:15am. After some begging and pleading, the married parents caught a huge break when seats opened on the 9:40am flight which put life partners Joe & Bill and cousins Charla & Mirna alone on the 11:15am flight. Joe remarked, "Bill and I constantly get nervous when we're gonna fall to last place. You just don't want to be way back behind everybody else."
MAGELLAN MAYHEM
Landing in Punta Arenas at 11:50am, newlyweds Rob & Amber as usual set the pace exiting the airport taking with them directions to the shipwreck that a flight attendant accidentally gave to Rob instead of Uchenna who asked for them. At Lord Lonsdale's Shipwreck, Rob & Amber, along with the other Teams, opened their clue to find a Detour having to choose between Navigate It and Sign It. In Navigate It, Teams had to use a map of Punta Arenas to get to the town plaza where a sailor would hand them a compass. Then, using the compass, the Teams needed to walk directly south to find the Nautilus Building, a deep-sea salvage business. In Sign It, Teams had to choose a pole and building supplies and carry them up a flight of stairs to Magellan's Map. Using the map as a reference, Teams needed to figure out his journey around the world began and ended in Seville. Then, they had to build a traditional local signpost listing in order the fourteen ports of call in his voyage. While the signs didn't have to point in the right direction, all the cities had to be spelled correctly.
Rivals Rob & Amber and Uchenna & Joyce began the complicated task of building the signpost with Dustin & Kandice while Teri & Ian, Oswald & Danny, and Eric & Danielle all set off on foot in search of the sailor with a compass. Apparent history buff Rob got a jump on the competition by knowing that Magellan began in Seville while Uchenna & Joyce incorrectly assumed he began in Guam since it appeared at the end of the map. However, Rob's good start took a bad turn when he misspelled Philippines on a placard by adding an extra L and omitting a P. |
