The Amazing Race: Salty Floatations and Birdcage Mishaps


    Once again we have a delay due to football overtime but as our race begins its anyone's game and anything can happen. So as Pinky and her whipped teammate depart from the race mat they are going on a boat Museo Corbeta Esmeralda where they have to find a sign then figure out what it says and then repeat that saying back to the officer in Spanish. And since the boat doesn't open up until 4 hours after they departed that means all teams will be on even ground heading to the boat. But as the teams are waiting for the boat to open Pinky just had to get bitchy and tell the other racers to put their bags in the order they can in so there are no cuts. In other news the Party Boys are all over the place in this leg and they even convinced the Ice Girls to be their race wives those girls better set some boundaries and let them know that doesn't included sleeping in the same bed. Cause no one should have to put up with that type of torture not even those girls. But anyway Charge the Ship, Men!!! Was the saying of the day as the Mountain Boys and Ice Princesses got their clue first. Teams now have to head to Irlanda Salt Mines and search for their next clue so while the Mountain Boys and Ice Princesses are just getting to the salt mines the other teams are just leaving the boat.

Detour: Our first detour of the race teams have to ride their bikes across the salt mine road and choose between two task mining and brining. Brining: Teams have to add enough salt to a pool of water until they can float above the water while reading a paper. Mining: Teams have to break open huge salt rocks until they find a mini clue hidden inside. The boy choose mining while the girls choose brining. Team Party Boys arrive next and they head to do some mining omg its like these guys are trying out for their own reality show or something. Soon the other teams arrive and choose their detour while Team Birdcage got stuck with a cab who had no clue where he was going and this was only the beginning of their problems during this leg of the race. So lets talk about the teams in mining first shall we, these teams are the Party Boys, the NFL, and the Mountain Men. Team NFL is breaking rocks with their bear hands as they just pick them up and smash it on the ground while the other two teams are hammering away with their picks and hammers. But its our Mountain boys who snag the clue first and soon after The Party Boys and then NFL. From the look of it Mining was the best choice since these teams were the first ones out. Meanwhile in Brining, the other teams, Team Pinky, the Dating Couple, Ice Princesses, Trophy Wives, the Doctors, and Team Ohio are mostly struggling with carrying the bags to the water because they are heavy. But its the Dating Couple who make it out of there first followed by The Doctors, then Team Pinky. After the Ice Princesses complete the challenge Team Birdcage is just arriving to the detour ready to mine away back in brining the Ohio boys are next to get the clue leaving only the Trophy wives who are struggling to carry the bags to the water. In mining the Birdcage team receives their clue and soon after the Trophy Wives leave as well so with that over.

     Teams now have to head back to the city and grab a bus to Santiago, Chile which is a 24 hour bus ride their so they better get a early ride, once there they have to head to Plaza De Armas and search for their next clue. So on the first bus which departs at 1:30pm are team NFL, team Mountain men, the Dating Couple, the Doctors, and the Party Boys. And can I just say the Party Boys are already trying to cheat on their wives by seeing if there are an girls on the bus umm I know those guy wouldn't make good husbands even if it is fake ones. On the second bus to Santiago which departs at 2:00pm are Team Pinky, the Trophy Wives, the Ice Princesses, and team Ohio and as for the Birdcage well lets just say they just made their second mistake of the night. So they were at the bus depot and they could have gotten on the same bus as the 2:00 teams but instead they got on a bus leaving at 4:00pm. Why you ask? Well after looking at the tape a couple of time it was a misconception on their part. After hearing the details about the 2:00pm bus and how it will be arriving at 6:00pm the guys then ask the clerk at the bus depot if their were any earlier buses leaving to Santiago and the clerk told them the Next bus is at 4:00pm. But for some reason these guys thought this bus arrives at 4:00 not leaves at 4:00, guys this isn't the airport where you can go to a different airline and grab a better flight this is a bus depot that acts on a schedule. So if you have one bus heading to Chile and that is on a time stamp then that one and only bus line will be departing at different times and only at those times so shame on your part for not listening next time learn Spanish so now they will be arriving in Santiago at 10:00pm and not 6:00pm. Back on the bus route the first bus is just arriving in Santiago and the teams book it to the Plaza. On the second bus it seem the Trophy Wives and the Exes have a little something in common one of the Wives husband is friends with the guy from team Pinky humm this might be a little leverage for the girls to get that second express pass.

Roadblock: Teams will have to go to one of the shoe shining stations set up for them and shine a customers shoes who are waiting for them once they are done the teams then have to pack everything from the station correctly and head to a storage locker where the guy in there will hand them their next clue. The key to finding these shoe station why just look for the red and white colors strings. Amy (dating), Nicole(doctors), Leo(Party Boys), Chester(NFL), and Brandon(Mountain) all decide to do the task and they shine the shoes with ease. But when it came to packing that is where the tricky part comes in to place everything in its proper place. Leo was first to arrive at the storage center but was sent away for improper packing giving the football players the lead as Chester gets the clue first. After Leo, Brandon, Nicole, and Amy all packed their gear right and receive the next clue. So night falls in Santiago as the 2nd bus finally arrives at 6:44pm 44 minutes after schedule. With Ashley(Ice), Nicky(Trophy), Danny(Ohio), and Marie(Pinky) all choosing to do the task meanwhile the third bus arrives carrying team Birdcage which got there early arriving at 7:03 pm they made up some serious time catching up with the other teams. Rowan decides to do the task and for the last mistake of their night well they did not read their clue properly and instead of going to a marked shoe polish station Rowan decides to grab an actual shoe polisher who is working in the plaza, hijack HIS shoe polish station, and then convince him to pack up HIS shoe shine set to go with him to the storage site. Like OMFG first off this whole situation was hilarious and sad at the same time because this guy should have read the clue properly!!!! But the poor shoe shiner went alone with this crazy tourist for some reason oh man the TAR producer better reimburse him for his missed sales. So while Rowan was at the storage site with the shoe polisher and as he was begging him not to leave I could not tell if Marie was saying no to the polisher or Rowan? But why didn't Rowan notice that everyone else didn't have their own personal shoe polisher but instead had actual shoe polish stations. So after that whole debacle here teams were on their way to the pit stop and here are the places for the teams.

1st: Team NFL now NFL only got first due to the Party Boys not paying their cab so they had to go back giving NFL first place.

2nd: Team Party Boys the Boys made a big error by not settling their cab before checking in costing them first place. this is the second time a team has cost themselves first place.

3rd: Team Mountain Men
4th: The Doctors
5th: The Dating Couple
6th: Team Ohio
7th: The Ice Princesses
8th: Team Pinky
9th: Team Trophy Wives, stuck at the road block with the Birdcage the girls forgot their rug so they had to head back for it making it a cab race to the pit stop and the girls won in the end.

Last Place: The Birdcage this was not their leg that is for sure from one mistake after another it was no surprise that they arrived in last place. bye guys time to head back to the theater.

I really enjoyed this episode it made me see the racers in a new light making me figure out who is going to be my favorite to win and who I just down right dislike. So far I love NFL, and the Mountain Men and I hate the Party Boys and Team Pinky cause the girl on that team is just a down right bitch.
