Run Like Scalded Dogs
February 28

We continue our race in Chile with nine. Jet & Cord made a bold move and reaped the rewards at the first team at the Pit Stop. Jody & Shannon miss the train and their Amazing Race ends in Puerto Varas, Chile...

PIT STOP
PUERTO VARAS, CHILE
GRUTA DE LA VIRGEN
2320 LOCAL TIME

... where we pick up with Jet & Cord. After the rest period, they get this clue...

ROUTE INFO

FIND THE GNOME IN THE WALL GANG!

Take a bus across the Andes to Argentina, then drive to el Boliche Viejo in Bariloche. Once there, you'll have to play a game of Five-Card Stud against a Travelocity Roaming Gnome. Tour bus leaves at 8:30a. First three teams ONLY! You have $48 for this leg of the Race.

Their bus leaves at 8:30am, as they analyze their picture of Butch and Sundance... and a Gnome. They use the spare time to get a lay of the land from a few locals que habla el ingles.

Meanwhile, back at the Pit Stop, Caite is puking. Brent gets her to a hospital. They make it to the ER 10 minutes AFTER their scheduled departure. The rest of the teams are departing, but Brent & Caite leave for the race course three hours after their DDT (designated departure time). Good thing no one left yet.

8:30 BUS to BARILOCHE
Jet & Cord
Carol & Brandy
Joe & Heidi

8:50 BUS to BARILOCHE
All other teams

Six hours later, the teams arrive in...

BARILOCHE, ARGENTINA

Now to find the Gnome in the Wall Gang. All the teams head out in their respective cars, with Jet & Cord in front... slowly, but in front. They know where the joint is. The rest of the pack think they know where they're heading... but they don't know that Jet & Cord know EXACTLY where they're going.

... and they're first there. But who'll beat the Gnome first? It's Joe & Heidi, nines against the Gnome's Ace-high.

ROUTE INFO

"Hoof it to the Peņa Gaucha!"

Carol & Brandy win their hand, king-high versus jack-high.

Jet & Cord... get a bad beat. Their Gnome has a really big poker face.

Joe & Heidi are the first to the Peņa Gaucha and this clue...

ROADBLOCK

WHO HAS A WAY WITH A ROPE?

Choose a roping station, and after one of you watches a demonstration, you will attempt to rope a "steer" 18 feet away. If you succeed, you must pull the cow back to receive your clue.

Heidi looks like a roper. Meanwhile, Jet & Cord finally win a hand with a jack kicker. They head to the ranch, where Carol & Brandy are already ready to rope in a clue. Cord shows the teams how to do it.

ROUTE INFO

MAKE YOUR WAY TO PUENTE NIRIHUAU!

Drive yourselves to Puente Nirihuau. Once you're there, search the cliffs overlooking the river for your next clue.

Carol has a bit of a tangle, while Jeff tries his hand at lassoing... Carol gets her clue, followed by Heidi... Meanwhile, Brent & Caite... are lost.

Jet & Cord make their way to Nirihuau and...

DETOUR

HORSE SENSE or HORSE POWER?

HORSE SENSE: Visit a gunslinger and get a set of directions. Then using an old-time compass for reference, follow the coordinates by a set number of paces to find bags of money left in the ground. Deliver the money to a lead bandit at the train station, who'll give you your next clue.

HORSE POWER: Make your way to a polo field and don appropriate attire. Moving a practice pony and alternating turns, you must score a goal in nine swings or less. Once they succeed, they'll receive their next clue.

Jet & Cord go with... horse power.

Meanwhile, Jeff finally swings his way to Nirihuau, at about the same time Steve & Allie do the same.

Jet & Cord try to stick it in the goal... while Joe & Heidi overshoot a route marker. Meanwhile, Jet & Cord get a trophy for their placing with this...

ROUTE INFO

Estancia Fortin Chacabuco

This is the Pit Stop for the leg. Last team to check in MAY BE ELIMINATED.

Meanwhile, Carol & Brandy meet the gunslinger and get their direction... as do Jeff & Jordan.

JorDan finally play cards, as Carol & Brandy find their first bag of gold. Meanwhile, Jeff & Jordan mistake the gunslinger for the lead bandit. Carol & Brandy... are losing themselves on foot. Steve takes a tumble... and Carol & Brandy decide to take the other Detour on.

Brent & Caite... are still lost.

JorDan rope in their steer, as Jeff & Jordan grab their bag... and give it to the wrong guy. He doesn't even know where the train station is. That's a big help.

Joe & Heidi find the station... but they have the wrong bag of money, so they have to stick it back where they found it.

Louie & Michael rope in a clue ahead of Monique & Shawne... and Steve & Allie and Carol & Brandy knock a goal or two in.

Brent & Caite finally get to the poker table... and the lasso... and the bridge. Meanwhile, Monique & Shawne are still roping.... until they finally nail it. Can they get back into this Race?

PIT STOP
BARILOCHE, ARGENTINA
ESTANCIA FORTIN CHACABUCO

Another leg, another first place finish for Jet & Cord! They pick up a trip to Patagonia!

Back to the Detour, as we get faked out, lost, and just plain crazy running grid searches. Jeff & Jordan get Louie & Michael's bag. Thanks for that.

Steve & Allie come in second... Brandy & Carol come in third.

Jeff & Jordan finally arrive at the station and get their clue.

Joe & Heidi take down #4. Meanwhile, Louie & Michael switch Detours. While JorDan... misses their final shot. They're going to have to do it all over again. This is their third attempt. Third time's the charm.

Jeff & Jordan L take #5. Louie & Michael take #2... as in their second attempt at goal. Brent & Caite finally make their shot, followed by "SPARTAAAAAA!" Louie & Michael.

JorDan gets the six spot. Monique & Shawne switch Detours... and Brent & Caite lock in the 7-spot.

That leaves the moms and the cops... The cops have already finished and are headed to the Pit Stop, where they lock in #8.

That leaves the moms, who just want to be an example of what happens when you follow your dreams. They're proud of each other, but alas, their Amazing Race will end here in Argentina.
