I'll work on bringing some stuff over here soon. Feel free to pitch in :rotf:
Atacama Desert, Chile ( November 22/23 ?) CBS press Sunday, Feb. 25 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) THE AMAZING RACE: ALL-STARS -- The second team is eliminated in Chile. USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2007-01-15-amazing-race_x.htm) ** How did Race challenge contestants who knew the drill? "We had to throw them curveball after curveball, because they all thought they knew what we were doing again," Van Munster says. So the 45,000-mile, 28-day race, which ended Dec. 19, sent them "from extreme cold to extreme heat," a desert in northern Chile to "borderline South Pole" in Antarctica. Slowhatch (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,8579.msg174586.html#msg174586) finds yet another Blog entry: (http://sarahinsouthamerica.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html) San Pedro de Atacama (http://www.sanpedroatacama.com/ingles/visitar.htm) ( posted on 11/23 ) **Apparently Amazing race is in town today, so we´re going to sniff that out.

What is this place where Romber is? Roadblock in a courtroom?
I don't know but it looks like there are all kinds of colors (yellow, blue, red, purple) all stuck together along with the white instruction page.
I think the purple thing might be a guide book or maybe of the area or maybe of the court house so they can find thing (Possibly the road block like TAR9 in the prison

Well Eric & Dee are at the TACA (http://www.taca.com/eng/cus/clan/clanmen.asp) counter in the one pic then we have Kentucky w/ Charla & Mirna and we know this is the Quito Airport too so maybe we can find that area in the Quito airport?

A NOTE ON TIME ZONES IN SOUTH AMERICA
Quito is on the same time right now as EST.
Santiago and all of Chile, including PUNTA ARENAS, is on Daylight Time right now, with the net effect that they are 2 hours ahead of EST.
Ushuaia, Buenos Aires and all of Argentina is on standard time, 2 hours ahead of EST.
Brazil, relevant to AR11 only for Sao Paulo airport, is on Daylight time right now, with the net effect that it is 3 hours ahead of EST.
So, for the flights from USHUAIA, the first one to Buenos Aires will involve no time change, the second one from there to Sao Paulo will involve moving the clock one hour ahead, and then from Sao Paulo to Johannesburg(7 hours ahead of EST) the clock will have to be moved ahead another 4 hours. There is no time difference between Johannesburg and Maputo.

Are dustin and kandice doing an intersection with charla and mirna in this episode? That's what it looks like...why would Charla be telling Dustin to make a decision?
Title: Re: EP2: "Beauty Is Sometimes Skin Deep."
Post by: puddin on February 19, 2007, 02:30:38 PM
I don't think so Mike. My take is they are following each other ( alliance ) and..they are lost and maybe are asking this man for directions and he isn't sure so Mirna shoves him and yells at the BQ's to decide which way to go. Or you are right and I am wrong.. :lol:. Waiting for more clues but I guess CBS is off for the Holiday :snicker:

So the purple " guide " is a guide to find a clue in this building or what ever the hell it is? Wish I could find it (:;) My guess is this is a task they have to do here is to get the clue that sends them to the Quito airport and then to San Pedro/Atacama desert and then to Chuquicamata Mine / Desert truck where they have to Change a tire? the roadblock?
I think this place is in Chile. They have a good reputation and several schools for Navy. I am trying to find something there.
There is Museum called "Museo Naval y Maritimo de Punta Arenas" in Chile. THis is in a town called Punta ARenas, close to the Tierra del Fuego National Park. I cannot find pictures of the Museum, but this may be what we are looking for. Here is a map of the area (hope I do it right)

The guard in the back wears the same kind of uniform as the guard in the counting room, and the walls do seem to match the earlier R/A cap (purple guidebook).

Your map is fine. I would caution you that PUNTA ARENAS is nowhere near Tierra del Fuego National Park, which is close to USHUAIA, Argentina. Perhaps you were thinking Tierra del Fuego Island, which can be seen across the Strait of Magellan from PUNTA ARENAS.

I think Charla wants BQs to share the cost of following a taxi. I think BQs are reluctant to do it. Charla may want all of their money or most of it. Based on Charla giving the taxi driver all of their money on the first leg I feel that they will think nothing of using all of their money and then having to beg, if that will help them in the race. The BQs are probably afraid to use all of their money and then have to beg for food or whatever.
The taxi driver must really want a lot to be their guide to wherever they are going.

There is a Museo Naval in Valparaíso, Chile. I can find the building on Google Earth, but no other pictures yet.
Do we think this museum is in Ecuador or Chile? (Kevin and Drew might think Peru)

Interactive map: Not much but it shows Paseo 21 De Mayo
http://www.rutavalparaiso.cl/web/pag/cd2_en.htm
Naval and Maritime Museum
It possesses important relics that tell about the history of the Chilean Navy from 1818 to 1880. The seat of the Museum was the Chilean Navy School until 1967, when the last Naval ceremony took place there. Address: Paseo 21 de Mayo Telephone: (32) 437-651 Opening hours: from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Entrance fee: adults 500 pesos, children and pensioners 200 pesos
The Naval and Maritime Museum is an establishment aimed to protect, preserve and divulge to the public, the Chilean Naval and Maritime historical heritage. The premises are located at Valparaiso, Chile, Paseo 21 de Mayo, a location where you may enjoy a spectacular view of the bay and harbor. The museum, occupying since 1967 part of a building that belonged to the ex- naval school, was reconditioned maintaining the original architectural design.

Why I think the museum is in Ecuador :angel:
Teams leave the piststop and drive themselves to Quito? somewhere? in the vehicles they came in. Of course the Frats get a new vehicle but again have troubles and get stuck in the mud. (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP2/00152-19-2007.jpg) (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP2/00412-19-2007.jpg) They are directed to find this building where they must match something? to get a clue that directs them to take a taxi to Quito airport and fly to Calama/ Atacama desert to do other tasks. See its nightime .. (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP2/00142-19-2007.jpg) (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP2/00132-19-2007.jpg)
Cha's and Romber are 2 teams we see on the flight.. (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP2/00162-19-2007.jpg)
From these pictures below it is now daylight ..can someone can tell me how long a flight from Quito to Calama would take? :lol: (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP2/18Feb0056.jpg)(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/rawalsh/TAR11/EP2/18Feb0057.jpg)

Kogs has a good point. It looks like they just moved the model ship out of the way to make room for the cluebox. Maybe the whole exhibit is about that ship and what it carried.

PUDDIN, your statement "Why I think the museum is in Ecuador
Teams leave the piststop and drive themselves to Quito? somewhere? in the vehicles they came in. Of course the Frats get a new vehicle but again have troubles and get stuck in the mud."
makes no sense to me. No sane Ecuadorian would locate a naval museum in Quito 2 hours from the nearest significant body of water. It would be in Guayaquil, the seaport and largest city of Ecuador.
I have no quarrel with the naval museum in Valparaiso except that I don't believe the race will be diverted from Santiago airport and back just to allow a visit to that museum. With a perfectly good naval museum in PUNTA ARENAS where the race is going anyway, that is where we are likely to see AR11 visit a naval museum.

I like the cultural center that puddin found. Googling "quito cultural metroploitan" I stumbled across a web site that list Quito museums. Interestingly I found the following:
Centro Cultural Metropolitano
A great adventure to see Ecuador's past, including the XVIII century time when the Geodesic Mission visit the "Mitad del Mundo" to determine the exact location of the equatorial line.
Hours: Tuesday - Sunday: 10:00-18:00 Entrance Fee: $1.50; students $0.75; children $0.50 García Moreno & Espejo Phone: (02) 2 584 362 Website: www.centrohistoricodequito.com
I am thinking the lines on the floor (where the clue box is located) represent the equator.

Oh I didn't know they went to PUNTA ARENAS in this leg? I'll have to read back. And I'm just looking around, I never claimed my theory to be right..I'm pretty sure we can speculate here? Isn't this how we try to put things together? And yes I have been looking around Guayaquil also but with no luck.

OK, PUDDIN, you are right. I had missed something. I've been trying to put a naval museum into perspective, but that isn't what we need to do. The few naval objects are part of a much broader collection in a large museum and they must be in the Quito area because they are part of Episode 2. There won't be any such museums in Calama or San Pedro de Atacama.

I continue with my museum in Chille theory. Like I said, CHile is well know for the NAval. THey have several naval academies, that Latin AMerica kids go to.
I dont think the Museum in Valparaiso is the one they go to. Valparaiso is way up north of Ushuai, etc.
There is another Naval Museum called "Museo Naval Antártico Comodoro Federico Guesalaga Toro" on a Naval Base Arturo Prat on the Chilean Antartica. I asume it has to be close to Ushuai. I dont have any picture to pinpoint this Museum or the "Museo Naval y Marítimo de Punta Arenas" to be the ones the go. Also we could look into Naval Academies, as another option.
Hope this helps.

charlierose, to support your efforts I have done some research which has been successful on Naval Base Arturio Prat in the Chilean Antarctic. It is on Robert Island in the South Shetland Islands, third island south of King George Island. No, nobody is going to send the Amazing Race there to see its naval museum. However, if you want to learn more about it and can read Spanish, try this: Naval Base Prat (http://www.geofisica.cl/papers/ignacio/ignacio.htm)

When Mirna speculates about R/A having a better flight, they're standing in UIO. There's an American Deli in the International area. It's edited to look like R/A are already in a different airport ahead of the pack, but I haven't found a match for the background yet. (If teams have to change those tires without power tools, they should seriously consider the other option ;D)

S. P. de Atacama (arrow pointing ahead) (S P = San Pedro) Parque Valle de la Luna (http://www.welcomeargentina.com/paseos/valle_luna/index_i.html) (arrow to the right)
It looks like the same road that the BQs vs Charla & Mirna confrontation occurs.
And...I don't even have to break out the SEMA calculatios to say that that happened between noon and 1:00 pm. That is because of the way the sun is so high up. If the actual road position is found then I will be able to nail down the time to a few minutes because it goes from East to West in about one hour.

This clip is ealy in the day. So I would guess it is when they land at the Calama airport. The other clip with at least four red SUVs on the road in the same place is with sun straight up. So that's later on that they drive off at the same time. Seams really strange. Maybe they get the SUVs after the mining detour.
Finally we will have Dave in a mine! :lol:

Thanks Mike and keep praying. Of course I'm hoping that it is accurate and we will have an exciting finish with the spoiled F3. I wish your team the best of luck as well as all the other teams.

Post by: apskip on February 20, 2007, 09:25:16 PM
SLOWHATCH and PUDDIN, please try LIMA and PANAMA CITY. They are the 2 most likely connecting airports to get to Santiago. "When Mirna speculates about R/A having a better flight, they're standing in UIO. There's an American Deli in the International area. It's edited to look like R/A are already in a different airport ahead of the pack, but I haven't found a match for the background yet."
CHATEAU, your theory about a 630am flight to BOGOTA does not make good sense since nobody could possibly get to QUITO airport in time for a 630am departure. They would have to leave Hacienda Yanahurco about 1am for the 4 hour trip plus have no tasks to do in the Quito area (which is highly unlikely given the museum search that has been going on). The earliest that Romber could have finished was about 2pm given the time for the ride to Hacienda Yanahurco starting from 7am plus the time spent on the search for the button in the field plus the Wrangle task time and walk up the hill.

I don't know...most of the South America museums I've looked at have a "colonial" style, while this place has a more modern urban look to it. Puddin may be right, it could just be a temporary exhibit somewhere. Whatever it is, it has "co" in the title (look above his head).

First, is there ANY possibility that we are seeing a "blended" preview--with info from another episode? We got one earlier promo with both old and new info...This would give us a few more places to look...
I agree Slowhatch--That street looks very "urban" to me...is there any possibility that our guys could do a task in Santiago or is that strictly a change plane place?
I like the cutural center puddin found--will search for special exhibits...

CHATEAU, my assumptions about flights gets teams into the area where this sign is at about the right time. The flights from Santiago would be at 645am or 705am, arriving Calama at 845am or 910am. The distance from Calama to some miles short of San Pedro de Atacama where this sign is would take about 2 hours after camera/soundman deplaning. This would be much more within the spirit of Amazing Race bunching created by having a hours-of-operation task in Quito prior to releasing teams to the airport, which would prevent them from getting a flight that gets them to Calama same day. It is possible that there is no Quito task and Rob/Amber do attempt a breakaway, but I consider more probable that they do that later in the day and do not succeed in getting any further than the Santiago airport. As long as a team gets out of Quito on the 1805 flight to LIMA, they should make connections for the 0645 flight Santiago to Calama. Any earlier flights don't gain them anything except a longer wait in Santiago airport.

"Not much luck with Lima or Panama. At least we can take comfort in the fact that they'll be taking off from LA again: runway 7L-25R"
You couldn't possibly mean Los Angeles for LA. What does LA mean? Could it mean that the runway marker in this picture is the same as one you are familiar with in Los Angeles even though this is not the Los Angeles International Airport?

While Rob and Amber are in the same clothes, and the seats look very similar (color and possible pattern), and ROb & Amber are seated on the same side of the plane.
In this shot (the one for this episode?), One of the Cha's (who is the taller thinner one Oswald?), is wearing what appears to be a white tea shirt.
In the first part of the first episode (to airport on plane, out of airport and to Pim's) he is wearing no white under shirt/tea shirt. But it is the clothes he wore for the next day in checking in to the Hacienda (well at elast a white tea shirt there.
So I vote a new shot of a different flight.

The editors may try to generate some drama, but if Kevin/Drew are still fixing their ride (good way to mess up your back) during the daylight hours (assuming the cotopaxi region) then they're so far behind that they'll never be a factor in this leg.
Amendment: it might be an 18 or 24 hour pitstop to prevent people from driving around the area in the dark. :-[

And now I'm thinking Romber is not the duo risking a flight.. it makes no sense since we see them on board with the Cha's and Rob is looking like he is looking at someone coming down the aisle and I think in the background I see Mary but am not sure?
eta: this but am confused? I think, link (http://www.museos-ecuador.com/bce/html/default.htm), there are two Banco museums with the one I'm thinking of is the converted Bank.

SLOWHATCH, your math is impeccable, but your nautical approach will be jeopardized by a 2 hour overland sail to reach the coast of Ecuador. The teams could find this a bit daunting, followed by about 1400 miles at sea to ARICA, Chile, then 500 miles by car to CALAMA. I bet they decide to take the planes instead.

PUDDIN, the most probable is clearly Quito area museums. However, after that there is really nowhere else you can go but to Guayaquil. There are two reasons for that:
1. Guayaquil is the commercial center of Ecuador and its leading seaport. It has a much larger population. It should have a reasonable number of museums even though Quito as captial city may ahve more.
2. The Guayaquil airport has about the same flight density in all directions as Quito airport does.
I think you should continue your Guayaquil area museum search.

Thankz Banzai,
I'm somewhat confused. I would think the confrontation on the road between Charla/Mirna & BQs was on the way to the Detour.
If that is right, then how would BQs not be in the final 4 racing to pit stop if they and Charla/Mirna started from the same spot in road at about the same time?
BQ's aren't shown at Detour. The way Phil worded it, Charla/Mirna were 1 of 4 teams trying to not get eliminated.
Since the final 4 are racing across the desert it doesn't seem to me that the confrontation would be on the way to the pit stop as I can't see anyone using up that much time in that part of the race.
Also, it appears to be Amber working the Back Hoe. I'm hoping since she is shown on the clip at the same time as the group that that means they are in the 4 teams racing to the pit stop. :pray: (I guess you can tell I'm not a Rob/Amber fan)
Title: Re: EP2: "Beauty Is Sometimes Skin Deep."

I'm sure that the confrontation takes place after the copper mine. The reason is that we have pin pointed the the road that it happens on. They are going to San Pedro de Atacama at that point and it's around noon. The copper mine shots look like early to mid morning.
Thanks Banzai ! This shot is basically equal to looking at a clock! I can't do it now but later on I will have an exact time for it.

My take fwiw:
4 teams racing through the desert Cha's Charla & Mirna BQ's David and Mary and Kevin & Drew are the ones that misread the clue so are not apart of the 4 teams racing through the desert
**A roadside confrontation causes one team to give another team an ultimatum. Is this the end of their alliance? C/M & the BQ's per promo's
**Racing to avoid elimination four teams conduct a mad dash in 4x4's across the desert where frustration and anger boil over and alliances are shattered. We know that the frustrated alliance is C/M & the BQ's
**Racing to avoid elimination, four teams conduct a mad dash in 4x4's across the desert. Who will make it? This goes hand in hand with the above clue
**On the way to the pitstop, one team misreads a clue and falls further behind. Is this the end for them? Kevin & Drew
David & Mary running with the Cha's to the detour: (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=11514.0;attach=21703;image)

I suspect that they have to take the company bus in and out of the mining operations area.
That is to explain why they are bunched both before and after the detour.

There's one shot that nobody seems to have commented on. At the very beginning of allmost all the promos Uchenna and Joyce are shown jumping with joy, Uchenna pumps his fist, and Joyce opens her mouth in a gasp of delight. Is this a shot of Uchenna and Joyce winning the leg and winning a delux trip to the unknown?

The 10 remaining teams begin the second leg of the race in Ecuador and then travel to Chile where they must change a tire on a huge truck used at a copper mine. Later, they race across a desert in 4x4s to the pit stop where one team is eliminated. Phil Keoghan is the host.

34. "Kevin/Drew in TAR All stars" I have a TAR all star spoiler. My wife's friend is a neighbor of Kevin from Kevin/Drew fame and tells me that Kevin is doing TAR-all star. Although I know this type of info usually is greeted with much skepticism, since neither my wife nor her friend are TAR fans and it took several weeks just to get the name of the TAR neighbor, I believe it is probably true.

This has probably already been mentioned but I'll just say it again. I think the mechanics of the Raodblock are
1) Teams rush into the museum 2) They get to the cluebox and read the instructions, choose who does it (see Roadblock instructions in Amber's hand) 3) That team member probably searches for some artifact 4) They show it to the guard back by the entry (see a Guido jumping with joy near the guard)

Looks like the ROADBLOCK takes place first at the Marine Museum (Ecuador somewhere). Teams then must get to the airport and find flights to Chile. Then proceed (they must drive 4x4's to desert mining site.
Looks like the DETOUR takes place in Chile and the choice is between either LIFT IT (lifting gravel from a pile, moving the front loadeer a ways and dumping the load) or CHANGE IT (changing nuts on a huge, I mean HUGE tire.)
It looks like Romber is at least an hour ahead of Charla and Mirna.
At the end of the DETOUR teams must race across the desert to the pitstop.
Kevin and Drew are way behind and eventually are Philiminated!

Just a wild guess, but could it be the Guayas, built in 1841 in Guayaquil, the first seaworthy steamship built on the Southamerican west coast. :angel: (BTW, it's also featured on the coat of arms of Ecuador).

Nautical or Maritime exhibitions Model ships Ship figureheads Museum/special interest/ displays--exhibitions--exhibits-- Sea-faring Magellan Tourist displays Bank displays

Peach, I think that only having an hour really hurt the possability of exploring either team drama or the difficulty of the drive and altitude int eh first episode.
I also think the fact that all these racers are aware of how they have come across beofre on tv, and might choose to edit themselves (especially earlier before things really get tense) more careully.
I expect the team drama to increase, I am a little more curious about the events and tasks. Like uyyourself I won't not only difficult tasks ut tasks that are visually arresting. And this looks like we have two weeks in a row where teh tasks aren't visually that interesting.

An 18 hour pitstop already? Right behind having a sleep-over with cots and all at a nice restaurant? Gee--that is so tough for our guys.... :colealert:
I know they are all hurting from the altitude--but somehow this doesn't seem like the "we're going to make it really difficult for them" of Bertram's quote...
Or if it really WAS that difficult due to the altitude and the hard drive--then TPTB need to SHOW us that a little more.
I still want my DRAMA! :lol:
Chateau--could that shot of Romber be after the drive back to Quito o (4+ hours according to Whirley)--or wherever that darn museum is --would they let them drive in the dark? Does that change the time estimate at all?

He's getting into the car peach..I'll guess he's just leaving the Ranch. Also now I'm thinking that Romber do go for the delayed earlier flight but switch once they find out it was delayed and thats why they look like a deer caught in headlights :inocent:.

I wont be surprised at all with a 18 hour pit Stop. The producers generally don't have teams driving at night under really harsh conditions. And I think having several hours of (what we have several teams) calling the worst roads they have ever been on would make the producers hesitant to let them leave at hours where for all teams the entire length of the bad part of the road would be done at night.
And Peach you are so right. The altitude has to be a killer, the road was a killer and that has to be hard on the body for extended periods. But the stupid ass prodcuers don't show us that or even talk about it. We have to read about the area or watch the extra clips to understand that the first episode wasn't a walk in the park.
Apskip, does an 18 hour window screw with much of the flight schedules?
And Chateau d If. I love that you get check in times for the teams. Love it.
Can't wait to get confirmation tomorrow about how much time seperated all the different teams.

It looks to me like it is along the Paseo Pratt in Antofagasta, Chile. The best evidence is in the pavement style that shows up in a Panoramio of of GE.
Look here to see the dual tile pattern of diamonds and squares. It's the same in the promo.
Also, from GE there are large swaths of light and dark colored regions of the pavement. These match the promo too.

Quote
2. Quito 11/22 to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile If no or early tasks in Quito allows this, then Fly UIO to Panama City on COPA 210 0740 to 0925, then PTY to Santiago CM796 1138 to 1953, then catch last flight to Antofagasta LAN 376 2100 to 2255. Get a rental car to make up the extra 125 miles to Calama in about 2 hours and arrive about 9 hours ahead of the teams coming directly to Calama by air. For teams who can’t make this connection then the structure of flights from SCL to CJC means that there is no benefit to getting to SCL early. I expect that teams will try unnecessary connections through Bogota and elsewhere, but the simplest and most reasonable is TACA 028 UIO to LIM 1805 to 2010, then LACSA 651 LIM to SCL 2105 0225, then LAN 344 SJC to CJC 0640 to 0845.
The part about dropping into Antofagasta now looks like part of the race, not just a way for one team to beat others to Calama! The arrival time of 22:55 is certainly consistent with the darkness of the Roadblock.

Here is my castle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chateau_d%27If). It's a few miles off the coast of Marseille. ;D
The street is named after Arturo Prat so there is a spelling variation to keep in mind. And it is sometimes called a peatonal to designate it for foot traffic.
I looked a little but have not come up with museums or banks either. This is Puddin's area of expertise.

This would of course be the same Chilean Naval head Arturio Prat for whom the Naval Base Arturio Prat on Robert Island in the Chilean Antarctic is named. We can thank charlierose for that tidbit of information on an earlier posting.

Ah, Chateau, now I know where my Huguenot ancestors were inprisoned. But that was long, long ago so I won't hold it against you. But be careful, that Chateau is more of a prison than a romantic castle as is mine on the Rhine.
Would the Chuquicamata Mina de Cobre fit "a copper mine close to Antofagasta?"

Were we off or were we off on the "mystery museum" - 'twas no museum it was the lobby of the Codelco Copper mine company in Santiago, Chile!!!
We goofed that one, but we had the name of the mine, Chuquicamata in Calama right.
What kind of hours do those suits keep in Codelco? Board meetings going on at least after 2:30AM!
Typical TAR bunch up with all teams on the same flighj from Santiago to Calama.
Puddin's boot list holds true: Kevin and Drew gone. Drew didn't seem very happy about it. And they lost because they couldn't follow directions nor did they see the speed limit sign increase to 50kph.
Rob and Amber again! Odds will jump again this week, but if Puddin's list holds they say bye-bye in two weeks!

Wow i really hope spoilers are a little wrong and Ozzy and Danny will be in the final three [i cant even hope for Romber anymore because spoilers are so against it] but the BQ's and Charla and Mirna are really sucking at this race, geeze and i thought Danielle shouldn't have been a all star.
Eric was way annoying he is no Rob, lets face it.
Rob and Amber are rocking and have now broken two records, the first team to come in first on the first two legs of the race, and have now have the most first places, with 7, I count TBC's because it was a whole episode, and in their season they actually reached the mat. They do deserve the final three, and i still have my fingers cross "the list" is wrong, or at least i hope they can beat Teri and Ian!

No sane businessmen would be holding a meeting at 0300. What we saw were local actors dressed up as businessmen. I hope that got good money for playing the part of mannequins.

TPTB threw in a 18 hour pit stop which threw our timings off, but no matter they all ended up arriving in Santiago at the same time (Romber and the Chas were about 15 minutes behind) and then all bunched up again on the flight to Calama. If Joyce hadn't given the answer to Ian, he might still be trying to figure out where all the letters were or what the spelt.
Drew and Kevin really got nasty on the flight to Calama; pulling other people's bags out of the overhead bins in first class (a smart move on whoever did that) as they got on the plane. It looks like Drew emptied half of his bag out, or he never could have taken it on board with him.
Note the really small bags that Rob and Amber are carrying; who needs a change of clothing every day? In fact, Rob's is not a backpack at all, but a side carrying messenger bag. Smart move on the part of Romber.
Amber is pretty darn good moving that front-loader around. Surprise here since Rob was on camera saying that this wouldn't be hard for him since he had been driving things like this for 10 years when he was working in construction (before his Survivor, Surviror All Stars, TAR and TARAS years!) Did he say anything when Amber climbed on board?
So far the tasks haven't been all that physically challenging. Are things about to change?

GMAN, it was David and Mary's bags. I applauded when I saw Drew do that. When I travel on an airplane, I HATE IT when people from other sections of the plane early board and steal my luggage space. Passengers in coach are not allowed to put bags in first class luggage compartments unless explicitly given permission by the flight attendants. If that had happened, David would have said something. Instead, he just went and put his bags back in the same place. I am looking forward to seeing the last of KENTUCKY in episode 3. They are getting on my nerves (almost as much as Mirna and Charla and, surprisingly, more than Rob and Amber so far).

Buddy TV interview with Kevin and Drew (http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-amazing-race/exclusive-interview-kevin-and-4445.aspx)
Quote
Is there anything from last night’s episode that they didn’t show that you wish they had?
Kevin: Yup, absolutely. Right from episode one, do you remember we completely destroyed our car just trying to get there? Well, the front end was destroyed so it was un-drivable. So what they did was they held us back, they made us fiddle around with the car for about 20 minutes and then we said, “Okay, we can’t drive it, we can’t get it out of the mud, we’re going to try and fix the flat.” And then on top of that they gave us a 15-minute penalty. So when it says that we left at such and such time, add about another half an hour, 45 minutes on that and that’s when we actually left. So given the fact that we finished five minutes behind the last two teams, I mean that half hour penalty was big. I don’t know why they didn’t show that because it’s very part and partial to the story that’s shown. Drew getting oxygen wasn’t part and partial to the story that’s shown. You’d already seen enough of him falling and nursing his various injuries and talking about his medicine. The oxygen was nothing. They should have used that time to show we had a half an hour penalty, that’d make more sense
Quote
Did any of the teams annoy you? Was there anybody that you really didn’t get along with?
Drew: No, we kind of got along with everybody. Even the incident with David and Mary with the luggage, they didn’t show it afterwards, but that became a non-issue and I’m very good friends wit Dave and Mary now.
Kevin: We all laugh about it. It wasn’t nearly as scandalous as it looked on TV.
Title: Re: EP2: "Beauty Is Sometimes Skin Deep."
Post by: apskip on February 26, 2007, 05:41:01 PM
From Kevin and Drew: " I mean that half hour penalty was big."
NOT quite. Since Kevin and Drew were on the same flight from Santiago to Calama as all thet other teams, the penalty meant absolutely nothing. Also, they left Hacienda Yanahurco at 854am and would have arrived at Quito Airport around 1pm. The flight from Quito to Lima left at 605pm, so they sat around the Quito airport for nearly 5 hours. The only things that ultimately were big were their inability to know when the speed limits changed to 50 km/hr, their inability to know which way to turn at the final junction, and their feeble walking from the car to the mat.
This is supposed to be REALITY TELEVISION.

Free at last! ;D After 3 days of voir dire on a gang murder case, the defense team booted me on a preemptory challenge. I guess they just didn't like me; I'm so ashamed :snicker:. Back to work. The exhibit was De Proa al Mar (http://www.codelco.com/prensa/archivo/detalle.asp?id=20061113120704).

Ha! Congrats on your escape! They salivate when they see me coming....I've been called for jury duty 9 times and served on all 9 juries--I'm just the ideal juror I guess! You'll have to tell me your secret!
Great pickup on that doggone exhibit! I must have googled every possible combo of nautical or maritime art/exhibitions/exhibits and as did puddin--I looked all over Santiago. Hate it when we can't find something! :umn:

a few kilometres off San Pedro, on the right (NE) side of the road to Calama.
During the show, there was a sign that the marked the east entrance and you could see cars driving through a defile. Unless production rented the entire park (a possibility), I'll go ahead and mark the pit stop on this small branch road.

SLOWHATCH, my analysis of the way into Valley of the Dead indicates a different possibility for where the mat area was. I think it was much closer to the main road. Please take a look at my file initially meant to be .kmz but with misfunctions I had to turn it into a .jpg file which does not allow Google Earth manipulation. Please note that where I think it is is just left of the Photographic point shown just before the big curve to the left. Your PitStop thumbtack is on the far right. the junction of the main road and entrance road is on the far left.

I don't see a kmz attached, but without a lot of markers (one pile of dirt looks a lot like any other ;D), your guess is as good as mine. I chose my spot for three reasons:
the policeman, who was parked at the edge of town, told the BQs it was only two kilometers away
cars are seen going in the east entrance
cars can be seen traveling through narrow passages before they get to the pit stop road
Like I said, there aren't a lot of markers and it's just a guess.

I can't make fun of Eric for spelling, because I suck at it.
I actually felt a little ssorry for him. He had wrote down the letters he saw, and he looked at the pictures (including the correct one), but he didn't see the "H" on the pen and thus didn't have the letters for it. SOmeone on another board said, well if he had the Q then he should automatically have figured it out. But according to the show there were extra letters, so for all he knew the "Q" could have been an extra letter.
Though, I will say, unless there was additional info restricting this. I would have just wrote down each location and then show the guard until I got I right.
Nobody tried this, so I would almost say their had to be a some restriction on it.
Or almost everyone who didn't figure it out immediately (like the BQ,s and Mary) are idiots.

That was Joyce; Eric wrote down Aquarium. I couldn't cap the whole instruction sheet, but there was probably something in there--going to the back of the line, etc.--to prevent people doing multiple guesses. This cap from Mirna is curious. I've found Sky Airline (but the webpage won't load) and of course LAN chile--but there doesn't seem to be any flights matching those numbers. Of course, things could have changed in the last 3 months.

MSWOOD, I think you've solved the puzzle with your last sentence. The racers may be the most interesting of all Amazing Racers, but nobody ever claimed that they were the brightest. The clue as I understood it directed them to look at the items on the wall and then work with the letters from the things around the table. What related to letters on the items on the wall? Only nameplates with names spelled out. I would have written down all 9 of the nameplates (only Mary did this if I remember correctly; will wonders never cease?) and then began the letter comparison against them to rule them in or out when enough letters indicated that.
