My AMAZING RACE LEG 4 Recap.!!
It all started when Peach told me the location. I called a friend of mine who Works nearby the plaza and she went there and sent me the pictures of the set up of the watermelon task.
I drove as fast as i could to the plaza and got under a tend (considering that there was some kind of concert nearby). I spotted Dangelo and his friend arriving first at the watermelon task, then the two bearded M/M team and follow them the M/F asian team.
They were working hard for hours, and as i was texting with Peach, i told her that this might not be an ARI since there was no way for teams to be that far behind and not getting there.
Thank god a dude standing nearby asked me if could sit under the tend i eas on (it was sooo hot) and i said yes. Turns out he was coming in one of the cars that brought a team from the airport, we strted talking and he goes: “Well, we picked them at 1 PM ish and came to the COSTANERA DE ASUNCIÓN to pick “something”. After that (and this i recall just NOW) we went to THE PALACIO DE LOPEZ (i have no idea what did they do there).
From there, we took them to CHACARITA neghboorhood, where they must find the Harmonic Landfill place to make some kind of music instrument (which they had to play it to get their next clue)
After that, he told me they drove to MERCADO NUMERO 4 to prepare “Terere” with some kind of herbs. If they were correct (i realice now) they would recibe their next clue and a “Termo” (you can see in hands of girl of the indian team) as a gift.
Once finished there, he told me that they have two choices……and i was like BINGO.! It was a detour, that explained WHY it was taking hours for the other 5 teams to arrive there at the plaza.
I asked for the other location and without hesitation he told me that the dance challenge was on the OLD TRAIN STATION near Plaza Uruguaya. I grabbed my friend and ran to my car to get there ASAP.
While we were getting moved, we saw the two bearded guys finishing the watermelon task and they were heading to the pit spot (we asume)
We got to the train station adn the location was close to the public, but i managed my way to sniff some pics and a short video of the indian team leaving for the pit stop. They yelled so loud to the taxi driver that it was clear it was the PLAZA ITALIA.
They got on their taxi and so we did, i started my car try to follow them, but they beat us to the pit stop (lol). We got into the plaza and got closer to the filming área. Some production crew told us to step aside.
We did, got on a bench and witnessed the indian team being interviewed. There were team number 5. That being said, bearded guys were team number 4.
I wanted to cry, i missed four teams for assuming that the watermelon tas kwas an ARI and being at the PLAZA DELOS HEROES for more tan 4 hours. During this time the other four teams did the dancing challenge and got in the 4 first places.
Not long after the indian team, the asian team arrived and they were team number 6.
We walked around for awhile while it was getting dark and we saw some tends on the back of the plaza, there were some security guys and teams were there!!
Not so long ago, lights were ut on in some specific locations inside the plaza and the interviews started.
If i’m correct, they do the interview in the order the teams arrived. Why i think that? Well, we knew for a fact that Bearded, Indian and Asian were teams 4,5 and 6; which means i missed 3 teams (not 4 as i original thought).
Those teams are: Will & Boyfriend (they were first to be interviewed), Mom and Dad (we call them like that just because they are by far the oldest team, lol…please dont take it on the wrong side, they look nice and adorable as a couple) and two Young Ladies in Black (i think they are Team #4 according to the timeline).
Phil was constanly operateing a cellphone, and you could clearly hear what he was saying. In some point he goes: one team hasn’t left the roadblock yet (it was the F/F team i will further refer to) and one tea mis really struggling at the watermelon task (DeAngelo & Friend).
Team barded, indian and asian were resting in the tends when DeAngelo and his friend arrived. They were soo static and frantic about still being on the race as team number 7.
We then sat and wait for over an hour and overheard some guy saying: “The ladies are still somewhere on the route, we are just waiting for them”
All of sudden, Phil is gone….but the mat and everyone else stayed. I had to come back home for some health issues i told Peach about, so i couldn’t confirm it it was indeed a F/F the one team missing. I have no idea if they came to the pitstop or Phil went to them.
I wish i could help more, but as i said yesterday…with what i did; i lived my dream!! It was just amazing…and incredible at the same time!
Hope this can clarify some things for the admins when it comes down to the teams and the timeline.
Happy Sunday everyone, let’s keep tracking them!
