How reliable is Murtz and how would he hear more than you do?

How well do you trust his writings? I put the link on The Media site....

The Amazing Race 16 (CBS) 8 p.m.

The nine remaining teams travel from Chile to Argentina.

Murtz says: Not looking good for the Big Brother team.

It could just be meaning that J&J fall behind during the episode, but not necessarily get eliminated. I think this could actually be an intentional red herring. But we'll just have to wait and see. My blood pressure is dangerous right now with all this suspense! :lol:

Last night, on another board, Murtz posted he didn't know, and it was a guess this week.

As for them being on The Baub Show tomorrow, Bob has wanted them back on the show for a long time. To me, it's no different than them doing radio or magazine interviews during the past few weeks.

 :lol:  This area on the Limay River has me stumped.  What exactly did they do there... I found it in GE and it's an empty field, situated in the rugged Valle Encantado (Enchanted Valley) of eroded stone formations, known for it's rock climbing. huh!?!  :res:

 :lol:  From what I can tell, it's an empty field... no estancia in sight (not sure what that funny circular grouping of trees is to the right).   However, given TPTB, and what we know of BVM's tiny mind, IMO, this would make a heck of a pitstop location... very scenic.   :duno:

Have any other teams from past seasons given interviews while they were still in the race? I know they give them after being eliminated, but before that seems odd.

Okay...so I am hearing through the grapevine that Steve falls on the way to the detour tonight...  FWIW.

Still think the pic shows Carol, but :duno:

No Diane, the bus would be well before the fall, and I am not sure that is anything anyway.

Frommer's Review


Step back in time to the old Patagonian pioneer days, at this country store dating back more than a century. Little has changed since the days when Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid purportedly stopped in for a meal. It's northeast of Bariloche, on the road to Villa La Angostura, past the airport turn-off and the town of Dina Huapi. The menu is pure Patagonian, including lamb slow-grilled on a spit and every cut of beef you could imagine, from T-bone to tongue. This makes a great stop for a midday meal if you are on a sightseeing drive.

The pictures match our shots, but could we pinpoint something with this? It's "down the road from La Lipela"...

In a cultural note, in Mexico, a "boliche" is a bowling ally :lol:
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

I still don't know where the RB was... :(

Jet and Cord - Once again, a swift, flawless leg ran! How do they do it so fast! But as much as I like them, I hope that they will not go on dominating the race. It's gonna be really boring.

Steve and Allie - Wow, coming in second was awesome! Loved it that they came from the middle of the pack to the top. And Steve gets the "Cowboy of the Day" award! That was quick work at the Roadblock.

Carol and Brandy - These ladies are doing surprisingly well leg after leg. They kinda annoy me sometimes with their squabbles but I've to admit, they're really funny at times.

Joe and Heidi - Doing really well too. I did think that Joe would get rather aggresive on the race and all but so far, he's fine towards Heidi. But perhaps that's cos we're not getting that much edit of them in the first place, hmm.

Jeff and Jordan - Hello, please read your clue carefully! Thankfully that didn't cost them the race.

Dan and Jordan - I actually kind of like these brothers, hmm. They aren't doing too well though are they.

Brent and Caite - They're pretty impressive this leg, I must say. From being sick to leaving the pit-stop 3 hours later than scheduled, they did an awesome job catching up. I thought it was pretty sweet of them to encourage the mums at the Detour. But I don't know, I'm still neutral towards this team. They need to stop arguing and be nicer to each other hm.

Louie and Michael - For a team that said they were gonna come in first every leg, they aren't doing too well are they. They've been barely surviving elimination the past three weeks now.

Monique and Shawne - I didn't use to pay much attention to this team, but I felt really sad when they were eliminated. They just tried so hard, at the Roadblock, at the Detour, even switching tasks when they knew they were in dead last and everyone was gone. And they're such nice people! Maybe they should have prayed right at the start of the Roadblock but that's not my point lol. I'm proud of them and I'm sure their children are too. They are the mums who never gave up! :)
