When the Cow Kicked Me in the Head
February 21

Last time, eleven teams raced from Los Angeles to Chile, as they began a journey that led them up a hill... and down a mountain. Unfortunately for High School Sweethearts Adrian & Dana, it didn't even go that far as they were eliminated at the site of the Detour. Now the Race continues with 10 teams in a country since ravaged by an earthquake.

PIT STOP
VALPARAISO, CHILE
PALACIO BABURIZZA
0321 LOCAL TIME

After the rest period of 12 hours, Jordan L & Jeff get their first clue and head out.

ROUTE INFO

MAKE YOUR WAY TO PUERTO VARAS!

Take a bus back to Santiago, where you will take another bus to Puerto Varas, where you will take a boat to Isla Margarita. Then climb to Mirador, where you will find your next clue. You have $87 for this leg of the Race.

Jeff & Jordan L. have no idea how to tell their cabbie to go to Valparaiso.... even though they're already there. By 5am, all of the teams make it to the bus station. Carol & Brandy strike an alliance with Joe & Heidi.

All teams now make their way to Santiago, Chile. Once there, they head to the station kiosk to get tickets to Puerto Varas. Joe & Heidi hold a spot for Carol & Brandy, but the other teams are left out in the cold.

5:30 Bus to Puerto Varas
JOE & HEIDI
BRANDY & CAROL

7:45 Bus to Puerto Varas
ALL THE OTHER TEAMS

Brent & Caite, Jeff & Jordan, and Jet & Cord decide to take another bus to Puerto Varas.

9:15 Bus to Puerto Varas via Temuco
JET & CORD
JEFF & JORDAN L
BRENT & CAITE

Fortune favors the bold, right? They hope to catch the 6:30 to Puerto Varas... or in the case of Jet & Cord, keeping their original 7:00 seats and watching the other teams scramble. Way to Cowboy Up. Meanwhile, the 6:30 to Puerto Varas which arrives at a station down the street... is gone. So it's BACK to the first station. In Double Time. And THAT bus is gone. They missed BOTH buses and the next bus leaves TOMORROW morning at 1.

Jet & Cord currently lead, as they head to the Petrohue Hotel and Mirador. All they have to do is follow the trail. But they have to wait until 7:30 tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Jet & Cord start out on the trail and take a boat to Mirador... they're followed by Joe & Heidi, Brent & Caite, Jeff & Jordan L, and Brandy & Carol. Steve & Allie are the first off the late bus from Santiago. Meanwhile, JorDan can't drive stick.

Jet & Cord head to Isla Margarita and find...

DETOUR

LLAMA ADORATION OR CONDOR CONSTERNATION?

LLAMA ADORATION: Make your way to a field of grazing llamas. Dress a llama by placing a blanket on its back and a scarf around its neck. When the llama is properly adorned, the keeper will give you your next clue.

CONDOR CONSTERNATION: Make your way to a beach where you must dress as condors and use your costume to glide out to a clue in the water.

Jet & Cord, Brandy & Carol, and Joe & Heidi dress a llama. Brent & Caite fly, while Jeff & Jordan follow suit. Jet & Cord find the friendliest llama you ever did meet and dress it to get...

ROUTE INFO

GET YOURSELF TO HIGHER GROUND!

Drive yourselves to Onces Bellavista Farm in Puerto Varas and search the grounds for your next clue.

Back at the farm, the other llamas don't look too friendly. Joe gets a couple of kicks.

At the condor Detour, the birds take to the air and hope to grab a clue. They... fail.

Joe &Heidi take advantage of a sleeping llama and dress it.

The rest of the pack make their way to the Detour. Jeff & Jordan L are hoping to make it out to the buoy with some dignity... Yeah, that doesn't happen.

Meanwhile, JorDan are lost. Jody & Shannon finally arrive in Puerto Varas.

Louie & Michael and Monique & Shawne dress their llamas at the ranch. Meanwhile, Jet & Cord finally arrive at the barn and...

ROADBLOCK

IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE KUCHEN!

Race around the farm and collect the five ingredients essential to making kuchen: flour, a plate of butter, a bowl of sugar, a baker's dozen of eggs, and milk straight from the cow's teat. Gather the right ingredients, and you'll gather the next clue.

Jet starts out grabbing the milk, something he has experience in doing. Then he gets some eggs, sugar, flour, and butter. Now to the kitchen to make the kuchen. And while the mamacitas do that, Jet gets this...

ROUTE INFO

MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PIT STOP!

Drive yourselves back to Puerto Varas and find Gruta de la Virgen, the Pit Stop for the Leg of the Race. WARNING! The last team to check in MAY BE ELIMINATED

After taking a serving of kuchen, Jet & Cord make their way back to the town.

Meanwhile, Carol & Brandy go to the Roadblock. Brandy milks a cow that's in the business of... doing its business. Brent and Jeff follow suit. As the teams arrive for the Roadblock, Louie & Michael decide to drive past the entrance of said Roadblock.

PIT STOP
PUERTO VARAS, CHILE
GRUTA DE LA VIRGEN

Jet & Cord, who've been dominating this leg of the Race, arrive in first to greet Phil and the happy local. They might need another buckle for their belt. Will a sailboat do you?

Coming in second... Joe & Heidi. Carol & Brandy are in third. Brent & Caite come in fourth... and stay there. Meanwhile, Louie & Michael are lost. Again. They run into Jeff & Jordan as they look for the Pit Stop. The Big Brother vets direct them BACK to the villa.

Monique & Shawne catch up to the pack and lock in the 5 spot. Jordan & Jeff take sixth. Louie & Michael catch up to Jody & Shannon. Michael... falls. Jody... gets kicked in the head by a cow.

Back at the Pit Stop, Steve & Allie take seventh. Michael takes milk. JorDan takes eighth. Michael finally finds the pantry... Jody goes back for more milk.

Now all the teams have completed the Roadblock. It's a race to the Pit Stop, and the first team there are...

... LOUIE & MICHAEL! They get ninth, and Jody & Shannon, by that much, are sent home. They can do physical things... and they move onto their next crazy adventure.
