I second that.  I think Romber will be getting a fistfull or Mariano-Hate from everybody.  Which could be an editing setup for their elimination.

D/B are accusing rob of lying...wonder if everyone is agreeing...did he really lie or are the girls setting them up?

Do we see all the teams there...is this as time of opening bunching?  Could this lead to an allince with Ron/Kelly they do not like D/B and Ron told Deana and Ryan( ithink his name) about what d/B did

Very little clues to go on so I'll see if we can figure out some of the tasks.. :P

 task is shining shoes
Ron with shoeshine box .. Chile perhaps?

Ron with Kelley maybe delivering something..papers ?

I think Ron and Kelly are going to do well this episode...from last to the middle or front of the pack.  IF one of the challegnes is shining shoes...in the military you have to have everything sparking and crisp...ron will breeze through the challenge.  I think the hug is because they did the paper challenge and she may have carreid alot and found the place.

thank you..I think your onto something with the blue clothing Banzai  |#' ..the pip that I saw was definitly Lynn doing the shoeshine ,so we can see Gretchen ,Ron, Lynn, Ambuh  doing this task .Just a thought..maybe they have to find the right persons shoes to polish to get the clue ? or like you said earn a certain amount of money ? Do you think this is the roadblock? or the delivering papers whatever ?

Add Debbie ( the redhead one ) to the shoeshine list . So far we have Debbie , Amber , Gretchen , Ray ,Ron, Brian ( I still get these two mixed up) and  Alex confirmed for what we think is the roadblock /shineshoes.

Since Uchenna does backflip and possibly is in an improv league in Houston (could be another person, but I don't think so), my bet is on him.

Great job on figuring out who is doing the first roadblock of TAR7.  Who would have known that http://www.clubanywhere.com/c/a/view.html?;5487 shoe shining was such a big deal in Chile?

For those trivia devotees, the ugly fish shown in the previews are called toothfish.  However, in order to sell it to us Amercians, the fish were renamed Chilean Sea Bass.

from your link Pedaler ..find the right persons shoe to get the clue ..? Deb has a paper in her hand..a photo perhaps ? or maybe they have to polish a certain amount of shoes ..Texan mentioned that Ron should breeze through this easily since he was in the military  ..^&#
There are hundreds of these shoe shine booths in Santiago. Cost for a shine was 300 pesos, or about 50 cents.


Pedaler also from your link..this explains the green/metal and canopy that we see around Romber ..perfect..thankyou  ]*[

That's a good match and matches the shots of the other four teams going up the mountain to the Virgin Statue, but it is not a CABLE CAR it is a funicular railroad which runs on cogs up a very steep incline to the top of the mountain.

The detour in Chile seems to be a choice between visiting a market to purchase veggies and fishes, and a visit to a book or document store to pick up certain publications and deliver them somewhere (Hall of Justice?)

The roadblock seems to be a task involving shoe shines either earn a certain amount or complete a certain amount. The shoeshine people all wear a distinctive blue coat.

Just some observations for reviewing the vidcaps.

The confrontation with Rob appears to happen in Peru.  Everyone is wearing heavy outfits.  The one Amber wears matches the one she is wearing getting off a bus.  That bus has the Peruvian Flag painted on the side.

I get the impression that Kelly is upset when she's huggin Ron.  I don't think they do that well performing their detour task.

Finally, Puddin matched a photo of Rob with a photo of the funicular/cable car going up the hill to Cerro San Cristobao.  He has a big smile on, so if the pit stop is by the statue, then they do well.

For those interested, here's a map of Santiago http://www.lonelyplanet.com/mapshells/south_america/santiago/santiago.htm that shows the Central Market and Cerro San Cristobao.  It's not shown, but the airport is to the west/northwest of downtown.

The shoeshine gig is most definitely the ROADBLOCK. In the live video of Debbie with blue shirt with arm down (probably holding shoeshine box), you can see that she hold the RED ROADBLOCK CLUE in her other hand. But not clear what the actual task is, but we now have just about every one except Uchgenna or Joyce doing it.

From the webclues I don't think were sure of Pat & mom either ? Urcheena may do the Roadblock..I'm guessing per the webclues, it maybe or may not be..just a guess

one racer uses charm and entertainment to successfully try and complete a road block

Title: Re: EP2 Title~"The Whole Country Hates Me "
Post by: gingerman28 on March 08, 2005, 04:05:00 PM
Let's try and see if we can put it all together to find out what we know and what we do not know about tonight's show:

This week it is heavy on the "What we don't know" and there are some very large holes or pitfalls for us to fall into.

Let's begin at the beginning.  The ten remaining teams will be starting off in Cuzco at the message box in the church courtyard 12 hours after they arrive.  Since all the teams arrived between noon and 2:00PM (according to TV Guide) they will be starting off again in the dead of night starting at midnight or so.  But we have no shots of them going anywhere in the dark of night.

Our first glimpse of the teams is at a bus or railroad station which looks like from the warm clothes that they are wearing that they still are in Cuzco. And it looks like everyone is together either waiting for a bus or a train.  If they are travelling by bus to Lima where they will be catching a LAN plane to Santiago, Chile they have a 20 hour bus ride ahead of themselves.  We do see the various teams leaving the bus somewhere and we  see the bus on the road somewhere. But here is our delimma.  The teams are alighting from the bus in daytime. If the bus ride is 20 hours and it is just getting light in Lima at 6:00AM, then the bus must have left Cuzco at 10:00AM. Have they been waiting around the bus station for those missing 10 hours? And it is creul beyond words to make them ride a bus for 20 hours when they can do the same distance by air in one hour.
So this is our problem. What has happened from midnight to whenever we see the teams on the buses (and there are more than one bus involved.)

So now somehow we arrive at the airport in Lima. We have direct flights leaving at 7:15AM and 8:20AM  arriving in Santiago, Chile at 12:35PM and 1:40PM.  This make sense since we see all of the activity in Santiago happening in the daylight.  BUT we have one report that the teams went to Santiago via Buenos Aires. Yes there is a LAN flight from Lima to Santiago via BA, but it leaves at 12:05AM arriving in Santiago at 9:35AM. But our teams could only make this flight if the buses left Cuzco no later than 3:00AM.

Anyway somehow or another the teams end up in Santiago, Chile. Most likely they will have to go to some landmark such as the Neptune Fountain on Cerro Santa Lucia or take the funicular up to the statue of the Virgin Mary on top of Cerro San Cristobal. We have nothing pointing us toward the Nepture Fountain (although we have shots of it in the opening credit montage) bu we do have a few of the teams on the funicular. We have shot of Uchenna and Joyce reading something in the upper fanicular station (did they just get the clue and are deciding what to do next?) We have a shot of a very relaxed Rob in the car going up. So I suspect that this is the first landmark they have to find to get the Detour clue. That leaves the Neptune Fountain on Cerro Santa Lucia as a possible pit stop.

The DETOUR seems to be between buying stuff such as fish and veggies in the Mercado Central( Lynn and Alex)  or finding the right number of books in a bookshop or document center and delivering them to the Tribunales de Justica (Ron and Kelly) (Debbie and Bianca).

The ROADBLOCK is played up BIG!  Almost everyone is shown downing the distinctive blue shirts and getting a shoeshine box and setting out. We have only identified one member of each team doing this, so it must be the roadblock.  One shot of Debbie shows her in the blue smock and carrying the RED Roadblock card in one hand and the box in the other.  We do not know if the task is to shine "x" number of shoes, to find a particular pair, or raise a certain amount of money in order to get the last clue which will lead them to the pit stop.

I still wonder why we have the big hole at the beginning of the program. And I wonder why there is no indication of the teams making the 3 hour train trip to Machu Picchu. But perhaps this is like TAR6 where there was no advance notice of the 17 hour train ride to Xi'an and a visit to the famous Terra Cotta Warriors.

We will have to wait to see what unfolds tonight since Howard has not blessed us with his advance wisdom.

You all are doing so great!

 I can only add that I saw a destination city of Aerquipa on one of the buses.  It looks like a shorter ride than Lima.  And it has an airport served by LAN.

ETA:  I think it's the one with Uchenna & Joyce stepping out.  I can't see it in the screen cap but I remember seeing it in my recording.  Not at home right now so I can't check.

Great catch, Chateau!!

Arequipa is 320 miles from Cuzco and easily reached by bus.  LAN has flights out of Arequipa leaving at either 2:25PM arrving in Santiago, Chile at 1:40AM via Lima or leaving at 9:15PM arriving in Santiago at 6:35AM also via Lima. So its possible this is the way they went. If they arrive early in Arequipa, the second largest city in Peru, they may have time for another task to perform before getting to the airport for the 9:15PM flight. Arequipa has many wonderful old places to visit. We will see in about a half hour what is what.

As the Teams made their way to Santiago, Chile, engaged couple Rob & Amber cruised to an easy victory but made several enemies along the way by employing tricks to secure an advantage. Meanwhile, brothers Brian & Greg and roommates Megan & Heidi bonded on a bus ride to Arequipa, Peru only to square off against each other in a dramatic footrace to the Pit Stop. In the end, the brothers edged out Megan & Heidi, giving the roommates a tearful goodbye as they became the second Team eliminated from THE AMAZING RACE.

Departing the Pit Stop in first place at 10:54 pm, best friends Debbie & Bianca opened their first clue to discover they must travel 400 miles by bus to the city of Arequipa and find a shoe shine union for their next clue. With the bus station not open until the following morning at 5:30, all the Teams arrived there to spend the night, planning to buy tickets for the earliest bus leaving at 6:20 am. However, after speaking with the security guard, Rob discovered that a second bus, leaving at 7:00 am, arrived in Arequipa half an hour earlier than the 6:20 am bus because it made less stops along the way.

While most Teams lined up to buy tickets on the slower bus, Rob kept his information confidential, telling only on-and-off dating couple Ray & Deana and married couple Uchenna & Joyce. To make sure the other Teams wouldn’t get this information, Rob also paid the local to keep quiet. However, Alex uncovered Rob’s plot: when he asked for information, the guard replied that “the man in the cap” had asked him to remain silent. Realizing Rob’s duplicity, boyfriends Lynn & Alex and Debbie & Bianca led the other Teams in purchasing tickets on the same bus as Rob & Amber, Uchenna & Joyce, and Ray & Deana.
CONFRONTATION
Refusing to let the situation slide, Lynn & Alex and Debbie & Bianca confronted Rob, accusing him of lying. In typical fashion, Rob not only denied the accusation, but turned it around, becoming offended that people called him a liar. Not believing Rob’s denials, Lynn walked away with a parting shot: “Let’s just say it’s a good thing that people can’t be voted off.”
CONSPIRACY
During the 10-hour bus ride through the Andes Mountains, most Teams relaxed and enjoyed the view. Using the time to become acquainted, sparks flew between Brian & Greg and Megan & Heidi. On the brothers, Megan remarked, “They’re a lot more like Heidi and I than we would’ve even thought.” Meanwhile, Rob used his time on the bus to secure an advantage when they arrived in Arequipa. By pooling money with Ray & Deana, Uchenna & Joyce, and former POW and beauty queen Ron & Kelly, Rob bribed the bus driver to open only the door in front to allow him and the other three Teams to get off the bus before the other Teams stuck in the back
SHOE-IN
Arriving in Arequipa, the four Teams involved in the conspiracy quickly exited the bus and dashed into taxis to take them to the shoe shine union while the remaining Teams shouted for the driver to open the back door. Reaching the union in first place, Ray & Deana opened their clue to find a Roadblock. In this Roadblock, one Team member had to choose a shoe shine representative to accompany them while they shined five pairs of shoes, earning one Peruvian sole per shine, before returning to the union headquarters to receive their next clue.

Electing to perform the task for their Teams, Ron, Amber and Ray took an early lead in shining the shoes of paying customers, while retired married couple Meredith & Gretchen found themselves in last place. With a distinguished career in the military, Ron proved his skill at shoe shining by completing the task first. Returning to the headquarters, he opened the next clue with Kelly to learn they had been awarded tickets on the first of two flights to Santiago, Chile, departing 45 minutes apart. Once in Santiago, Teams must ride a funicular to a statue of the Virgin Mary to find their next clue. Joining Ron & Kelly on the first flight were Rob & Amber, Ray & Deana, mother and son Susan & Patrick, and Meredith & Gretchen. Megan & Heidi, Uchenna & Joyce, Debbie & Bianca, Lynn & Alex and Brian & Greg had to settle for the later flight to Santiago. On being in the back of the pack, Lynn quipped, “That’s okay. We’re good at pulling up the rear.”
SHOP OR SCHLEP?
Landing in Santiago, Chile, Rob & Amber took an early lead out of the airport with Ron & Kelly as the two Teams shared a funicular to the statue of the Virgin Mary. Opening their clues, the Teams encountered a Detour. In this Detour, Teams had to choose between Shop and Schlep. Teams choosing Shop had to travel two miles to a restaurant to receive a traditional Chilean recipe from the chef. Then, in a crowded market, Teams needed to buy the five ingredients for the recipe and return to the chef to earn the next clue. Teams choosing to Schlep had to travel nearly two miles to a bookstore and deliver 180 books eight blocks to the Library of Congress to receive their next clue. Not wanting to buy the ingredients using their own money, both Ron & Kelly and Rob & Amber opted to Schlep books.

As the two Teams made their way to the bookstore, the second plane landed in Santiago with Debbie & Bianca getting an early lead on the Teams in the back, while Megan & Heidi fell to last place. At the funicular, Deana & Ray opted to Schlep, while Meredith & Gretchen chose to Shop. Susan & Patrick ran into trouble at the funicular after running out of money, forcing them to beg to pay for the fare. This delay allowed Debbie & Bianca, from the second flight, to catch up to Susan & Patrick from the first flight.
BOOKING IT
At the bookstore, Rob & Amber employed the proper book-stacking technique to allow them to carry all 180 volumes to the Library of Congress. Meanwhile, Ron & Kelly, using a less effective method, stacked 112, forcing them to make a second trip to the bookstore. Even though Kelly disagreed with the plan, Ron decided it was best for his Team. At the Library of Congress, Rob & Amber quickly stacked all their 180 books to earn the next clue that directed them to the Pit Stop at Cerra Santa Lucia in the center of Santiago.

Quickly taking the one-mile taxi ride, Rob & Amber arrived at Cerra Santa Lucia and stepped onto the mat in first place. Host Phil Keoghan informed the excited pair that they had won a Travelocity trip to Atlantis from Paradise Islands in the Bahamas, staying at the exclusive Royal Towers.
At the market, Meredith & Gretchen received a nasty shock when they realized they lacked enough money to pay for the fish on their list of ingredients for the chef. However, the kind merchant allowed the retired married couple to get the fish at a reduced cost.

Meanwhile, after getting stuck in traffic, Brian & Greg finally arrived at the funiculars followed by Megan & Heidi in last place. On their predicament, the brothers remarked, “It sure would be nice to enjoy this nice cruise, but we got to be all stressed out.” In a race to avoid elimination, the brothers opted for Schlep, while the roommates chose to Shop.
MARKET MADNESS
As Ron & Kelly and Ray & Deana stepped on the mat in second and third place respectively, three Teams that chose to shop ran into difficulties. When returning to the chef with the ingredients, both Meredith & Gretchen and Lynn & Alex discovered the fish they bought did not weigh the required three kilograms, forcing them to return to the market. Meanwhile, Susan & Patrick, out of money, needed to beg for enough to buy the fish and other ingredients. These struggles allowed Uchenna & Joyce, with the required amount of fish, to jump ahead en route to a fourth-place finish.

At the market, Lynn & Alex created a stir when they demanded the full three kilograms that they paid for. Instead, the boyfriends were met with jeers and shouts from the workers and other locals. A furious Lynn shouted, “We’re not paying you any more dinero!” The pair eventually gave their patronage to another fish vendor who did not cheat them on the scale. After a very close taxi race to the Pit Stop, Lynn & Alex finished in fifth place ahead of sixth-place Debbie & Bianca, and seventh-place Meredith & Gretchen.
With Susan & Patrick stepping onto the mat in eighth place, only Brian & Greg and Megan & Heidi, bonding on the bus to Arequipa, were left, forced to battle each other to remain in the race. Initially, the brothers, with a small lead, made a tactical error like Ron & Kelly by needing two trips to deliver the books to the Library of Congress. Meanwhile, Megan & Heidi breezed through the shopping to earn the clue directing them to the Pit Stop.
PHOTO FINISH
Now with a lead, Megan & Heidi jumped into a taxi as Brian & Greg stacked the last of the 180 books in the library to earn their clue, snagging a taxi as well. A disappointed Brian said, “One of us is going down. Let’s hope they had problems finding the ingredients.” As the two Teams neared Cerra Santa Lucia, they were shocked to spot each other in adjacent taxis in the gridlock traffic. Realizing their fate would be determined by a footrace, both Teams quickly darted from their cabs and ran the remaining few blocks to where Phil stood waiting. In the end, Brian & Greg picked up speed to finish in ninth place, while Megan & Heidi came in last, becoming the second Team eliminated from THE AMAZING RACE.

On her experience, Megan offered, “I have an extreme pride for Heidi and I not giving up.” Heidi added, “There was many chances we could have just looked at each other and said, ‘You know what, we don’t have it,’ or ‘I can’t. I can’t’ never came out of our mouths.” Alongside the mat, Brian & Greg offered a tearful goodbye to the roommates. Greg said, “We’re going to miss you girls. I had so much fun with you guys.”
