Making it as we speak! :2hearts:
Did you have Cerveza Cristal for the Chile leg?Pisco sour actually :lol:
Estadio Francisco Cabasés, Rachel. Or, as the club supporters call it, "La Boutique".Thank you! :2hearts: The edit is done so well tonight that it's hard for me to keep track even. :funny:
This is cheating on Amber's part.

Ricky & Cesar follow in on the mat in 2ND PLACE!
Would be really smart to just go to the fingerprints Detour in this case. If they do that, I won't be AS mad.
And that was our massive and caffeinated episode for tonight! Pop your bubble and leave your thoughts, comments, critiques, and anything in between you would like to share below and let's drift into a good conversation.

Too bad we didn't see anyone doing the fingerprinting detour; forensics is quite an intriguing topic. It's possible Derek & Shelisa chose it given their occupations but they were too far behind to catch up via either Detour.
"In response to criticism from critics and fans about answer-sharing among alliance members [during season 32], Amazing Race co-creator and executive producer Elise Doganieri stated in an interview after the season that the show was considering challenge-specific rules to limit answer-sharing."
I guess that was a lie, then.
“I don’t mind the alliances—I think there’s something really exciting about that, and when other teams don’t even know there’s an alliance or they think that they’re part of an alliance,” she said. “I like all that intrigue; I think that’s kind of fun. But, you know, helping a team that might be struggling because you want them to advance over another team? I think we have to look at that, and I don’t know what the answer to that as yet, but it’s definitely something we’re going to look at.”

The existence of alliances, and helping others that are struggling, is not the same as abjectly providing the correct answer to someone and solving the Roadblock for them. THAT is what I assumed was going to be banned in future seasons after the response to Season 32.
Finally someone other than the boyfriends win a leg :conf:
The alliance thing gets annoying and then by the end of the leg the two FF teams start teaming up together :groan:
Can we get over this the next week?
Shelisa's reaction to Derek's boleadora throws was the best thing about the first half of the episode
Super disappointed at Amber wanting to stay and help at the first RB. At a Roadblock, your own race partner isn't allowed to help you, yet someone from another team can come over to your workstation and give you the answer. Ugh. It takes the "Amazing" out of "Amazing Race" to see a racer be able to take that kind of escape hatch.
That said, as it stands, I do concede that helping other teams can be a strategic move in some circumstances. So there has to be something that can be done to remove the incentives teams might have to gift other teams with help to this extent.
Rod getting the sports RB on the first try was the most predictable thing ever.

Starting with Michelle & Sean, those that placed last the previous leg are eliminated the next leg. So we've seen Michelle & Sean, Kishori & Karishma, Derek & Shelisa. Currently, Sunny & Bizzy are last in Argentina, there's a possibility, they'll be last in Uruguay.While the effect of group start and first-in-first-out tasks are visible, the last 3 eliminated teams were defeated because of their own devastating mistake. That is not the same case as Jordan & Jeff in TAR 16 France.
