Rob and Amber are yielded and then end up last on the mat. If TPTB follow practice from last TAR, then Romber would have to finish first in leg 4 or be eliminated. Which they are. This keeps the number of programs in balance for the finish on May 13.
Just a wild idea as I look at the wild blue waters of the rafting bit as posted by Peach.

GMAN, you haven't got the MARKED FOR ELIMINATION concept quite right. If Rob and Amber finish last in a NEL leg, then they have to finish first or suffer a 30 minute penalty. They are not automatically eliminated, but with the design of the legs in AR10 was that in 2 of 3 cases (exception was when David and Mary lucked out with the Fast Forward due to fake-out assistance from the Chos) it was almost impossible to overcome the 30 minutes penalty and David and Mary (2nd time) and Dustin and Kandice (Barcelona) were eliminated by it.

Here's a construction picture; the photo caption states that the PM fish farm (Instituto Araucana) didn't become operational until August 2006 (you can go to the Hesy site and search the galleries for other Chile photos). And the Austral University also has a PM "acuicultura" place, but the photo doesn't look like a match.

:lol: I was scanning all over the coastline of Puerto Montt with Google Earth looking for those "pipes" (or whatever they were, and the building with the dormers) but couldn't find anything that matched. This area is known for salmon farms, so why the "flounders"? Maybe Pacific Salmon would put up too much of a fight being lifted by hand. ;)
(ETA: Looks like Puerto Montt has "food courts" at their malls just like we do. :rotf: Yumm yumm, those DoggiS sure look good!)

Given Puerto Montt is over 850 miles from Punta Arena, it does look like a TBC in Chile/Argentina is likely. Ushualia is only 160 miles from Punta Arena, BTW.
B:) OK, times up, back to racing, err.... I mean spoiling. ;)

Maybe PA is just a seperate leg?

I am now considering the possibility of 5 South America legs. #3 at Puerto Montt, #4 at Punta Arenas and #5 at Ushuaia. This occurs to me because of the wealth of activities that appear to happen around Puerto Montt, elevating that to its own short leg(although there is 1000 miles of flying to get there). Also, the statement that there were ultimately 5 teams in Sequesterville - Acapulco has bothered me, because I just don't believe they would bring someone back from Mozambique to Mexico. Having all South America eliminations at Acapulco makes more sense to me.

Having a two-to-three-week vacation in Acapulco ain't all that bad! Great clubs, great restaurants, great beach, etc. just too many people! What a change from 1963 when I was first there.
