TAR16 - EP1: "Nana is kickin' your butt (Chile)"--
« on: February 01, 2010, 02:06:44 PM »

Teams  start off by navigating through the congested streets of Los Angeles and, for the first time ever, must rely solely on public transportation to make their way to LAX

Teams travel to Castillo Wulff (a small castle by the sea) in Valparaiso, Chile in order to find their next clue

Teams make their way to their first destination where they will encounter one of the most daunting Roadblocks in the history of the series on THE AMAZING RACE
 
Teams must perform a Road Block in Valparaiso, Chile in which one team member must cross a tight rope the length of a football field and 120 feet above rooftops, in order to receive their next clue.

Valparaiso
The Amazing Race came to town - we spent a whole lunchtime in a waiting for the couples to come running by chased by their out of breath cameraman and soundman. It was funny (in a slightly cruel way) to see the teams that went down streets that none of the others had chosen. Losers. How we laughed as we sipped our beers.
woden: Looks like Cardonal Market.




Blog find:


Phil filming in Valparaiso, Chile

challenge set up, teams had to paint the  white portions of the walls

Slowhatch:  I found a picture of the market; the sign reads Templeman, one of the main drags of Old Town. The cross-street? Maybe...San Enrique.
*OK, I think I've got it. Enlarge the pictures here and here; it's the building behind San Luis Gonazga church at the top of Cerro Alegre. The cross street is Galos.

The Amazing race was being filmed whie wer were in town, and Elise had the pleasure of seeing many moronic Americans carrying paint tins up the hills. We were chased away every time we went for our cameras, so you`ll have to watch all of season 27 to check the truthfulness of this.

Umm, all of these photos have their original EXIF data still - we can tell to the second when they were taken!
i.e.:
<exif:DateTimeOriginal>2009-11-29T13:04:13-05:00</exif:DateTimeOriginal>

Who needs sun angles!

Teams make their way to their first destination where they will encounter one of the most daunting Roadblocks in the history of the series on THE AMAZING RACE

So this is in Wulff's Castle right?

Another Roadblock? But the moms are doing it both. (The words "Road Block" have space, so it is not a Roadblock right? :lol3)

i don't think the highwires are a roadblock

both Dana and Adrian are seen doing the task

the person falling from the highwire in the promo video is definitely Adrian

and one of the photos has Dana doing the task as well

Essentially all the teams pictured at the Roadblock are at the Roadblock sometime from 9:30 to 10:00 am Pacific time based on the EXIF data. The only picture not at or near the Roadblock is Jody & Shannon, who are on the way to Wulf Castle at around 1:00 pm pacific time.

Joe & Heidi are running to the Roadblock at around 9:30.
Monique & Shawne, Dan & Jordan, Steve & Allie, and Jeff & Jordan are all at the Roadblock at about 9:45.
Louie & Michael are at the Roadblock at about 10:00.
Adrian & Dana are at the Roadblock at about 2:30. :(

EDIT: Fixed Adrian & Dana error.

Add five hours for Chile, and that's about 2.30pm to 3.00pm, eh? No first leg bunch-up-and-collect-departure-times then?

If the flight lands at about 10.10am, we've got to give them something to do until the afternoon...

And if we needed more confirmation... Blue clues. Not a Roadblock.

6.00pm, that's pretty late, and we know Jodi/Shannon are not last. Is Wulff Castle going to be our Pit Stop?

And what's going on at the back of this shot?

Somehow I always though we knew Wulff Castle was our Pitstop...now what made me think that?? ???

I agree...no red cards to be seen.

Good job on the location Neobie!!!! Is that anywhere near this location with Steve and Allie^^??

So why does the press say the highwire IS the RB?? :groan:

So this looks pretty plausible, huh?

Paint the town in Santiago
Bus bunching to Valparaiso (1.5h journey)
High wire at Cerro Artilleria
Pit Stop at Wulff Castle, Vina del Mar

Yeah, Peach. Steve/Allie are in the area. Looks like the starting side to me, but I can't confirm for now.

Why would Joseph & Heidi have a Roadblock clue in their hands if they had already done the Roadblock and come off a bus ride? This isn't coming together.
