Topic: TAR16 - EP2: "When the Cow Kicked Me in the Head (Chile)"--

[Glamazon Racer]

I started this thread since CBS revealed the title quote of the second episode, and I think this is an amazing episode title but is it just me, or is there a lot of 'kicking' going on this season!

In this episode, the race continues through Chile.

Good luck deciphering this episode, awesome detectives!

PIT STOP: Grotto of Lourdes, Puerto Varas
EVIDENCE: Teams photographed at pit stop

[AmazingDT]

I think a team will  begin arguing.

[Mandoli]

Going with the pictures from the first episode thread... The farm with the two guys playing musical instruments is in this episode? Read the caption and it said there was a cow involved. So maybe they visit the farm here?

[Hooky]

What? That title isn't even a complete sentence. At least change it to: "The cow kicked me in the head." Otherwise, finish the sentence.

[caper]

I'm thinking the caption for this episode could be one of the cowboys saying  - this reminds me of that time "when the cow kicked me in the head"  I'm probably way off!!!

[georgiapeach]

I thought the same thing...that this could in some way refer to Cord's severe rodeo head injury...

[AmazingDT]

"Since when do you run so slowly!"  WHEN THE COW KICKED ME IN THE HEAD!
im waaaaaaay off

[Glamazon Racer]

"Since when do you run so slowly!"  WHEN THE COW KICKED ME IN THE HEAD!
im waaaaaaay off

No, that actually seems quite feasable!

This will join "I'm Like An Angry Cow" in my collection of epic cow-related title quotes.

[redskevin88]

My gut feeling is that one of the slower teams say this, and when the partner gets angry...

[kyla]

Doesn't one of the tasks in this episode involve milking a cow?

I guess they weren't shown the right way to do (hence, getting kicked in the head) and they're explaining to their partner what happened.

[Mandoli]

Sorry, it wasn't the first episode thread. It was the screenshot thread. I'm borrowing the picture that heyhay posted along with the caption under it.

The teams of the CBS series "The Amazing Race 16" perform a Road Block on the Weisser Family Farm by Lake Llanquihue, Chile in which one team member must gather baking ingredients from around the farm, including a fresh cup of milk by milking a cow, in order to receive their next clue.

Yep, cow milking. So this goes here?

Why didn't you let us know earlier??!

'Cause I didn't know which thread it was already posted in, and I just remembered to hunt for it.

I already referenced the farm earlier in the post...

[georgiapeach]

Thanks Mandoli!! Good job!

[Mandoli]

Heh. The rare moment I get the spoilers right. I hope my track record this season is semi-better than TAR15.

[theschnauzers]

At least cow milking won't be as scary as camel milking.

[Glamazon Racer]

At least cow milking won't be as scary as camel milking.

Ah, that brings back memories of the most underachieving team, IMO.

But I'm really looking forward to these cows!

[realshowfan]

Yay for handling animals tasks <3 <3

As for the title, I am guessing it's the second half of a sentence, like:

"I was doing my own business when the cow kicked me in the head."

[puddin]

here ya go.. video preview when ready .. it will get better, give it a few minutes


 

[Boingo]

    It's a Santiago Bus Terminal... (aka Terminal Sur)  OK, spoiling done...  

[Neobie]

Nice shot of a clock there. Chateau, shall you do us the honour?

So... 7.20am or 7.20pm? Sunrise in Santiago is at 6.26am and sunset at 8.37pm...

[AmazingDT]

looks like Joe and Hedi make enemies 

[Hooky]

looks like Joe and Hedi make enemies 

On the contrary, it's really ALL the teams versus Louie & Mike. I'd say Louie & Mike are the ones making enemies.

[Slowhatch]

So... 7.20am or 7.20pm? Sunrise in Santiago is at 6.26am and sunset at 8.37pm...

The bus companies I've looked at (Turbus, Pullman, etc.) have southbound long-hauls leaving Santiago in the evening hours, with just a few morning departures.

[Kiwi Jay]

On the contrary, it's really ALL the teams versus Louie & Mike. I'd say Louie & Mike are the ones making enemies.

Huh, how do you work that out! When Louie and Mike say 'you can't get away with this' Steve is also there and he doesn't look happy at Joe either. All the teams are angry at Joe and Heidi for allowing Brandy and Carol to skip ahead in the line!

[banzai]

I say it's in the morning because she's wearing some gloves. She's sensitive to morning cold. 

[georgiapeach]

banzai!!

[Neobie]

Can you guys access the Pullman Bus schedule? I seem to need a password to get in. They've missed the morning Turbus if it's 7.20am.

I presume it's the morning of the 30th, which gives them a full day of travelling and maybe an overnight bunch, for Leg Two to end on the afternoon of the 1st? Fits the timing for a 12h Pit Stop in Valparaiso, considering all teams came in before Dana/Adrian were eliminated at 7.30pm the previous day.

If you look closely they let Monique and Shawne also skip ahead.

Maybe Joe & Heidi just wanted to let all-female teams go first.

Not sure this is anything new but in these two pictures you can see it says "Litoral Central" "V Region"...Central Coast Fifth Region of Chile.



Fifth Region of Chile

Valparaiso: Capital of the Fifth Region
Distance: 120 kilometers away from Santiago
Main Activity: Tourism and Commerce

This is the central zone of the country. It presents numerous small beaches in their coast, all of them, with good tourist facilities.  There are important urban cities too.

Principal Cities:
· Valparaíso
· Viña del Mar
· Quintero
· Los Andes

Site Attractions:
· Chilean Populations:
La Ligua, San Felipe de Aconcagua, Casa Blanca

· Beaches - Resorts:
Reñaca, Concon, Horcon, Zapallar, Papudo beach

· Beaches - Resorts:
Cartagena, Algarrobo, El Quisco, Santo Domingo beach

· Portillo Ski Center
· Juan Fernandez Archipelago
· Eastern Island
· Robinson Crusoe Island

[Boingo]

 The sign makes sense, graytex    I fully expect the racers to travel from Valporaiso to  Santiago via Terminal Alameda.  Kinda looks like the interior of Terminal Alameda (similar phones outside, similar glass doors, signs, even a Pullman Bus sign inside in the same location)..  hmmmmm....

    CHILE GETS CHILLY AS RACERS SLING INSULTS, FORM ALLIANCES AND FACE FICKLE LIVESTOCK ON "THE AMAZING RACE," SUNDAY, FEB. 21 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

"When the Cow Kicked Me in the Head" (Chile) - A Roadblock turns into a recipe for pain when one Racer encounters a moody cow, and things turn sour when a newly formed alliance rubs teams the wrong way on THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, Feb. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Phil Keoghan is host.

 

[Caelestor]

Two animal tasks in one episode? Nice

[AmazingDT]

Wow i  bet with the first quarter, there will be a lot of drama from buying bus tickets

[apskip]

Pure logic suggests that with a circa 3pm pit stop the most logical departure time for teams to get to Santiago is around 3am. The time to reach the Santiago southward bus terminal should not be more than 1 to 2 hours, much of that waiting for a cab or bus. That indicates to me that a 7am departure time from Santiago south is absolutely feasible.

[chill_sd]

I think the Pit Stop times are closer to 6pm.  But that still makes the 7:20 on the bus terminal clock logically AM rather than PM.

[puddin]

[Sailing]

Thank you puddin for the screencaps!   

[puddin]

Video when ready >>>>


   

[chill_sd]

Looks like Monique takes quite a kick from that cow.

[AmazingDT]

it looks like Caite and Brent chose the swimming detour

[Slowhatch]

I've found a similar floor pattern here and this Chilean bus blog (near the bottom of the page). It's the bus station in Temuco, although I wouldn't call the evidence conclusive.

[georgiapeach]

I thought the swimming was the tail end of the condor paraglide into the lake?? Or is that supposed to be the next week?

[Slowhatch]

I thought the swimming was the tail end of the condor paraglide into the lake??

It is. In fact, that looks like the water taxi parked next to the platform (in the condor cap, I mean). Detour: Condor or Llama. Roadblock: Who wants to kicked in the head by a cow?

[JGR]

Looks like Monique takes quite a kick from that cow.

Ow!

Jordan looks sad.  I hope they don't come in last this leg!!

[Caelestor]

They won't.

[kwando1313]

Wow... that kicking has gotta hurt.

[Hooky]

Hilarious preview!

[AmazingDT]

Shawne or anyone else: When did you get that bruise? Monique: When the Cow kicked me in the head! 
I think it makes sense now

[Boingo]

good catch     I'd say the stores are similar in the Temuco Terminal.

[Boingo]

  Neobie got it right.  The "Katrina" is located on Lago Todos los Santos.  Here it is!   

[Neobie]

Nice, Boingo!

Volcano Osorno here.

[Slowhatch]

It's about where Onces Bellavista sits, just south of Ensenada. And the confessional viewpoints are roughly similar to the Hotel/Cabanas del Lago on the outskirts of PV. So I'm wondering...do they head west instead of east, finishing up in PV?

[georgiapeach]

According to this, that water was COLD.

http://www.ilec.or.jp/database/sam/sam-11.html

[Neobie]

How about our production hotel, Cumbres Patagonicas?




P.S. What are they doing in Temuco? Mid-journey stopover? Waffle House breakdown? ("I'm happy!")

[georgiapeach]

I forget...do we have the Llamas yet??

From the original newspaper article>>Onces Bellavistas

Their website: http://www.oncesbellavista.cl/cabanas.htm

And from their photogallery>.we get llamas! http://www.oncesbellavista.cl/albums/page_01.htm

Smells like a Pitstop to me.






Oh...and milk too!
http://www.oncesbellavista.cl/albums/bellavista5.JPG

[georgiapeach]

Somewhere near?

[redskevin88]

Looks like Monique takes quite a kick from that cow.

Ow!

Jordan looks sad.  I hope they don't come in last this leg!!

They will win the first three legs, and then Jeff will make a critical error and then Monique & Shawnee will overtake them ala Charla & Mirna.

[Neobie]

Don't we already have a Pit Stop in the town of Puerto Varas itself, where Jody/Shannon were seen in the grotto with Phil and the greeter? Am I missing something?

[nathandg0924]

Really exciting leg after seeing those previews

Wow... that kicking has gotta hurt.

I wouldn't want to be in her shoes at that time

I forget...do we have the Llamas yet??

Nice, but that isn't the Pit stop we already have those spoiler pictures already in Puerto Varas

[georgiapeach]

Sorry...I didn't mean the MAT Pitstop...I meant the place where the racers spend the night.   Might they go back here?? 

[Slowhatch]

Someplace with a narrower "inlet," I think; I like Neobie's hotel.
If Jebber is Ep2, then the cars still have to be resolved. The trunk cap looks like cabs, not self-drive (yellow roofs, driver standing by). And I don't think anyone has figured out the "old joint."

[Boingo]

   No surprise here, Temuco is the end of the line for the bus trip.  They switch to (taxi?) cars at the Terminal Rodoviario de La Araucanía, Temuco, Chile.  

eta:  which leaves them a good 200 miles from Puerto Varas...   hmmmm, why do we see a lone racer looking worried in the bus terminal? ....did they miss the connection? ....are they taking a cab to catch up with the others further south? ....so many questions

Maybe they have to take cabs back to Osorno, then bus to Angostura/Bariloche.

[Neobie]

Remember, teams check in at the end of Leg Two around mid-day of the 1st. If teams are released from Santiago/Valparaiso on the morning of the 30th (following the assumption that gloves=morning), that means a daytime bus ride would result in an overnight stay somewhere around Puerto Varas. Would that be at the Onces as Peach pointed out (any insider info?), at the Temuco bus stop, or maybe in the cabin Jet/Cord are searching in? It's a 13.5h bus ride to Puerto Varas, 9.5h to Temuco.

Jebber has the teams in Argentina, so I'm pretty sure that's Leg Three.

Hypothesis: Travel to Temuco by bus, arrive around sundown, find a departure time in the cabins a la Southern Colonel in TAR 8 (Jet/Cord doing the OK sign), depart the next morning by taxi.

[Boingo]

  

[Slowhatch]

Nice work on the Temuco cap!  A morning departure for Temuco is easy with Tur-Bus; I couldn't get the Pullman site to work.

[Sailing]

Do we know if the roadblock was done before or after the detour?

[Hooky]

If the overnight rest hypothesis is correct, then maybe this is to make up for the lack of an overnight rest on Leg 1.

[Caelestor]

Remember there was an overnight rest on TAR 15's second leg as well. 

[redskevin88]

Remember there was an overnight rest on TAR 15's second leg as well.

Leg 2 of TAR 15 was just an hours of operation rest, I think (not scheduled). Whenever they stay in provided tents, hotel lodgings, etc., it is an overnight rest. Leg 2 didn't look like it was pre-planned, per se.

[georgiapeach]

How about our production hotel, Cumbres Patagonicas?




P.S. What are they doing in Temuco? Mid-journey stopover? Waffle House breakdown? ("I'm happy!")

Okay...I am convinced!

[georgiapeach]

And Slowhatch was miles ahead of me on the llamas...y'all need to take another look in the screencaps thread!! Lots of great ep 2 and 3 pics and locations!!

This leader board is awesome.  All the info is right there!  Thanks.

[walkingpneumonia]

Loved the "Yo, dude, don't leave me hanging!" moment at the mat with Brent and Caite.
 

[Boingo]

   I don't know... I thought Jeff's dumb moment was when he asked the cowboys if they were taking the same bus to Temecula, [California].   

[Jobby]

I hated the fact that Team Grandma was beaten just mere moments by Team I-don't-give-a-damn-if-you're-detectives. I had the feeling they couldn't catchup at all and i was proud that they reached the RB before one team at least! Too bad Team BB gave Team IDGADIYD the route to the RB and the cow for kickin' my grandma! Go granny!! Keep going physical!

Team Gay Brothers, which i highly suspect not one, but both are gay... are irritating the **** out of me. *rolleyes*

Team Ellen Degeneres are doing very well with Team Asian and the both of them seemed to be inseparable. Lol.

Team Americans have no maps are proving to be a force to be reckon with. Doing very well and surprising many of the other teams.

I like Team BB the last leg.. but not as much this leg because i just don't see any chemistry between these two. Anyone with me?

Team Black Sisters always managed to pick themselves up from the back of the pack, for 2 legs in a row.. pretty amazing stuff.. but will their luck run out?

Team please-give-them-more-edit (Steve and Allie) are being shown so little that i'm wondering if they're even on the race or not, lol.

Loved the llama detour, but the bird one was lame. The RB was lazy and pretty much unexciting and a waste of air space.

I loveeeeee Chile and think the place is beautiful though!!

[Jobby]

And i'm really sad to say that my favourite team of the pack.... is out of the race. Kinda sucks out the enthusiasm i have for this season.. even though they came all the way to SINGAPORE.

[Hooky]

And i'm really sad to say that my favourite team of the pack.... is out of the race. Kinda sucks out the enthusiasm i have for this season.. even though they came all the way to SINGAPORE.

Yeah, they were my favorite, too. But at least one of my favorites is still in it.

[Ruth]

Jet and Cord - They could very well be the Meghan and Cheyne of this season. I mean, they're just so fast! They practically ran a flawless leg. I like them, but it's too bad their evil side came up so early.

Brent and Caite - They're doing very well, which I guess ain't that surprising, 'cos they just seemed so competitive pre-race. Well at least to me. And I don't know, but I have this feeling that they could win the race. Just a feeling.

Steve and Allie - They're my favourite team on the race now. They're just such nice people and they seem to work really well together, which is awesome.

Jodi and Shannon - It sucked to see them go. It sucked to see Grandma being kicked by the cow. It sucked that they overtook Mike and Louie to the Roadblock but fell behind eventually. I really, really liked them, they're just so lovable.

I agree with Joab, my enthusiasm for this season is kinda going down. I could easily find four teams to support for the past few seasons, but not this season. Hmm.
