i'd say this is the second detour that feels balanced between each others. if your ass can't climb you may head into trouble, but if you can't perform or you are in bad luck with the crowd then you also heasd into trouble

The chincheros are absolutely stumped at Rod's size carrying the drum set. Leticia is asking for dinero passively. She wasn't feeling it. :funny: She is not good at asking the public for money and switch positions. Leticia realizes he is the showstopper here and the switchup works out. They finish without a cut scene to the other Detour.

Juan is stressed while Ricky points out the way to the old train station. "Look for parking." -Cesar. Juan says they are due for a first place. "We may have to sprint." And...

Ricky & Cesar arrive at the Pit Stop and are TEAM NUMBER ONE! They win OneKey Cash to Singapore.

Juan & Shane are right behind and rush to the Pit Stop to find out they are TEAM NUMBER TWO!

"Right there", Juan cutting into Sunny getting to the RB. "Everyone loves a comeback story!" - Bizzy

Remaining teams at the Roadblock with Melissa getting through in 6th! They climb.

Amber & Vinny arrive on the mat and are TEAM NUMBER THREE!

Angie & Danny stumble into the mat and are TEAM NUMBER FOUR! Danny says he realizes Angie is right about not being so generous about giving directions.

Yvonne & Mel arrive at the rock climbing tower and Yv grabs the first flag.

Rod & Leticia are TEAM NUMBER FIVE. They want to win bad. And we are allowed to use the Super Bowl title here on TAR! :2hearts: An achievement in itself.

Melissa grabs the second flag after taking a leap of faith up. Yvonne is proud of her.

Karishma is trying to figure out how to get something unstuck. Bizzy calls for a check as Karishma looks mad. Bizzy is incorrect while Kishori tries to motivate her cousin.

"This stupid little bolt is stuck in this stupid little thing." - Karishma

"Hey Lisa, are you ready to go?" / "I've been ready!" right before Derek finishes. The grandparents are climbing for the Detour clue.

Karishma is frustrated and is on the verge of tears.

Bizzy calls for another check and passes in 8th! "It was deja vu from Colombia." - Karishma. She is frustrated and visibly panicking.

Commercials and Phil asking for applicants.

We return to Karishma & Kishori's chances of staying skating away. "You can do this Karishma, you can do this." - Kishori. Karishma makes a breakthrough as she gets a screw out! :conf:

She gets a check and is correct! They move on to the climbing Detour.

Derek & Shelisa are navigating their minds off. Sunny & Bizzy arrive at the climbing and reason their upper body strength as an excuse to show Bizzy's biceps. Sunny is immediately struggling at the top, but manages to grab the flag.

Bizzy finishes her part quickly. Yvonne & Melissa arrive on the mat and we see our first instance of personality from this team five legs in as Yvonne is so shocked to hear about being in the middle of the pack still.

Derek & Shelisa says they are supporters of Lifetime Fitness as they arrive at the rock climbing. Shelisa sees it's difficult.

Kishori & Karishma driving to the park still and still have faith.

Shelisa is struggling up the tower.

Shelisa grabs the second flag and is down. They leave in 8th. Meanwhile, Kishori & Karishma are at the rock climbing and Kishori immediately breaks down in tears as she is afraid of heights. Karishma reveals her love language is words of affirmation. "You're basically Tyra Banks!" - Karishma.

Sunny & Bizzy are on the mat and are TEAM NUMBER SEVEN. Sunny reveals directions are their kryptonite. They've lost hours of being... lost.

Derek & Shelisa can't figure out their directions, meanwhile Karishma is jetting up the concrete tower. Karishma also wants Kishori to shut up as she finds her holding. "Get me off this freaking wall!" - Karishma :funny:

Karishma is zooming through the street while Derek & Shelisa are visibly lost. It's a self-driving race to the train station.

And Derek & Shelisa run through the doors and see Phil. They are TEAM NUMBER EIGHT and Shelisa is shocked they are still in. Shelisa is surprised she didn't curse.

Kishori & Karishma are the last team to arrive and have been eliminated from the race. "We tried our best. That's alright." - Karishma. Kishori is proud of themselves and recalls their girl power. They know their relatives are proud of them and that's all they could've done.

End credits and stay tuned for scenes from our next episode!

NEXT WEEK!
Show content
In Cordoba, Argentina, a Mega Leg is at stake! We get a biking, meat, and motocross task. Infamous Zorb task (maybe yikes). More drama and more tasks. Angie is on the verge of fainting for the second time.

That was an awful leg in Chile. It reminded me of The Amazing Race in Israel or the Americas.

it was suprisingly an okay leg. the detour were fine and balanced while the rb could be def better. as much as i love skateboarding, im just not sure the nature of this task. if team performer had to ride a skateboard through slalom course that might have been better.

i will say this, they boyfriends performance throughout the race so far has been out of this world, and i comfortably bet they would also do well in much competitive season

what might have been

I could go to any local park and find a car, build a skateboard, play some drums and climb a structure.

Rumor is they were supposed to catch a second charter plane to another continent around this point, but it never showed up. I'm guessing this was the substitute leg.

These tasks really felt like something they cobbled together at the last minute.

Half of this leg also came from TAR Israel, increasing the likelihood that it was a replacement leg. Thankfully, it was bolstered by the self-drive. We rarely see that in Santiago.

Interesting how Marilyn Monroe's car is the make of the former longtime sponsor of the show (Ford), while teams drove around this leg in Volkswagens.

I love how the cameraman got out of K & K's car to film from the outside when they stalled. One team always struggles with stick shift so might as well grab some popcorn.

Derek opened the Roadblock clue and immediately said "Detour!"  :funny:

The navigation felt more challenging than tasks this leg. (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.)
