NAVIGATE TO THE LEAD
As the three Teams struggled to figure out the signpost, dating couple Eric & Danielle used their compass to easily navigate to the Nautilus Building. Opening their clue, they learned they needed to return to the airport and sign up for one of two charter flights leaving three hours apart to Ushuaia, Argentina, 165 miles away, and find Playa Larga Beach. The dating couple secured seats on the first charter flight with the other two Teams who chose the navigation Detour, Oswald & Danny and a thrilled Teri & Ian who finally moved to the front of the pack.
As the second flight landed in Punta Arenas carrying cousins Charla & Mirna and life partners Joe & Bill, Rob & Amber still failed to see their mistake in the misspelling of Philippines while Uchenna & Joyce correctly assumed the order of their signpost was incorrect and began switching city names. However, Dustin & Kandice lagged behind both Teams by thinking that the direction the arrows on the placards pointed made a difference. Going back to the map, Uchenna & Joyce finally identified Seville as the start city to earn their clue as a frustrated Rob remained baffled. Equally as confused and concerned about wasted time, Dustin & Kandice asked Rob & Amber if they wanted to switch tasks together since the other plane already landed.
CARRYING HER WEIGHT
As the newlyweds and beauty queens raced off to navigate, cousins Charla & Mirna began building signposts amid the strewn placards and poles from the Teams who abandoned the task while life partners Joe & Bill opted to navigate the streets of Punta Arenas. Mirna barked out orders for an overwhelmed Charla to carry materials up the steep stairs, shouting, "You're going too slow!" A frustrated Charla dropped her box of placards, replying, "I can't go any faster, please!" Not wanting to the subject drop, Mirna continued, "You're wasting a lot of time." Charla, now with the cumbersome pole slung over her shoulder, put it down in complete irritation, asking, "What do you want me to do?" The pair continued this way until they reached the top of the stairs and began constructing the signpost where they quickly realized they chose the wrong task and promptly switched.
After lagging behind early in the leg, life partners Joe & Bill excitedly passed by Rob & Amber and Dustin & Kandice on the streets of Punta Arenas to finish the Detour in fifth place, but their hard work still resulted in being on the second charter flight with the newlyweds and beauty queens along with Uchenna & Joyce and Charla & Mirna. Disappointed in his performance and position on the second charter, Rob commented, "This is ridiculous. What a day."
SPECIAL DELIVERY
Landing in Ushuaia, Argentina at 10:45am, married parents Teri & Ian took a lead out of the airport, but ran right past a yellow and red flag when they exited their taxi at Playa Larga. As Teri & Ian searched through the brush and hillside, Oswald & Danny and Eric & Danielle ran to the cluebox, discovering they had travel by taxi to Bahia La Pataia. At the bay, they would then take a boat leaving twenty minutes apart carrying two Teams maximum to the post office on Isla Redonda, also known as the End of the World as it is the southern most tip of South America.
Arriving at the post office at the End of the World together in first place, Eric & Danielle and Oswald & Danny opened their clue to find a Roadblock. In it, one Team member had to sort through a full mail bag of 1600 envelopes to find one of two letters addressed to their Teams. What Teams did not know was that a Team from their first season on the race wrote the letter. Once they found the letter, they had to read it out loud to their teammate to receive their next clue. |
