Ok, they have to drive themselves over 150 miles through the Andes Mountains to Argentina... to Puente Viejo? Dunno if that spelling is right. Rob and Amber were off first at 12:34 AM.

And...CAUTION YIELD AHEAD

Greg and Brian off now... they joke, "Starting in last place...the Smith brothers."

Rob and Amber asked someone for directions and said they meet such nice people.

Rob/Amber realize they have to wait until 5AM to get their car. Rob asks if they want to go back to the hotel.

Ron/Kelly and Ray/Deanna seeing that now... Debbie/Bianca arriving now and also find out they have to wait. Deb/Bianca are going back to the hotel to get directions and then come back.

Ok - All arriving now, Deb/Bia back at the hotel asking for a map. Oh, Rob and Amber now leaving the hotel and they are snagging Deb/Bia's cab - Rob offers to pay him more than them. Rob says that will teach them for accusing him of lying.

Deb/Bia now looking for another cab. Rob/Amber now there with Deb/Bia right behind them. 5 AM and they all rush in to get their cars.

Rob/Amber looking at the map. Rob is going to sto pand ask the police and asks him to drive and show him. Now has a police escort. They are on the main highway now.

Lynn/Alex also getting on the highway with Gret/Mere, Greg/Brian, Ron/Kelly, Uch/Joy right behind. Ray/Deanna are in 7th place and Ray tells Dea to stick wwith who is in front.

Oh Pat/Sus stopping to ask directions at a gas station as we see another car drive past - oh Deb/Bia. Deb/Bia on the high now with Sus/Pat still looking for it.

Rob/Amber are getting off the highway now - the exit for the Andes. Lynn/Alex right behind them.

All other cars now getting off too... Ray/Deanna following those in front of them.

Deb/Bian now thinkn they have passed an exit that they needed - it looked like they went through a toll that no one else went through.

Rob/Amber going up the mountain now. Rob says this is wild.

Lynn/Alex say that everyone said that the first chance they got they would yield Rob/Amber and wonder if people will have the b@lls to do it.

Gret/Mere getting queasy from the altitude.

Rob/Amber, Lynn/Alex, and Gret/Mere passing the Argentina border.

Sus/Pat still lost in Santiago! They've been wandering around for an 1 hour and 45 minutes... and still not on the highway.

Oh geez. Rob was so proud of himself for taking the cab. Hello? They were at a HOTEL! It's not difficult to find another one.

Did anyone notice Amber wasn't as into stealing the cab and simply kept her mouth shut? Interesting relationship dynamic.

And can't Rob figure anything out on his own? He asks other people to do things all the time. He's shameless. The first couple of times he did it, it seemed clever. Now he just seems lazy.

Susan/Pat still lost - finally they find it. Deb/Bia still haven't crossed the border... they stop to ask directions and the person has no idea. One of them comments that they are all stupid and the other says , "Not that we're doing much better."

Other teams are amazed at the sights. Rob/Amber see the route marker on the bridge across the way. First of three yields in the race. Phil explains the Yield rules to us as Rob/Amber choose not to yield.

DETOUR. Paddle or Pedal. Paddle must take inflatible raft and complete 7mi course down the river. Current will speed them up but navigating in the currents could be tough. Pedal do a 7 mile course - they will have to navigate themselves but if they have strong legs they can do it fast.

Rob/Amber and Lynn/Alex doing the river rafting. Rob and Amber are off with Lynn/Alex right behind. Amber says her arm is dying. Lynn giving Alex directions on what to do.

Mere/Gret right in front of Greg/Brian and then Greg/Brian pass them saying that Mere/Gret are going too slow. Greg/Brian also not yielding and off...they are going to do the bikes.

Mere/Gret not doing the yield and I think they are doing the river. Brian/Greg are off - they say, "Man it is windy out." Mere/Gret off to the boats.

Amber having trouble and Lynn/Alex paddling harding to get ahead of them... Rob tells Amber the other group is catching up and Lynn/Alex pass them. Lynn/Alex done...drive themselves close to 70 miles to Camping Suizo - a traditional Argentina BBQ. Amber/Rob right behind them as Lynn/Alex say the gay boys took on the couple from Survivor.

Ron/Kelly don't do the yield and doing the river rafting. Ray/Deanna not using yield and doing the rafting.

Sus/Pat in the Andes now wondering how high they are as Deb/Bia see the ocean... they realize they have really messed up and now have to back 2 hours to get back on track.

Deb/Bia start heading back now. Greg/Brian think they are about halfway when one realizes he has a flat tire. They can't believe it. As they work on the flat they see Gret/Mere paddling away in the river.

Ron/Kelly now passing them on the river. Greg/Brian decide to carry the bike now. Gret/Mere right behind Ron/Kelly to get clue and head off to the camping ground as Mere is having some trouble breathing from the rowing and running...

Uchenna/Joyce pass Ray/Deanna on the river and beat Greg/Brian to the clue. Joyce comments that she thinks she lost her nails as Greg/Brian finally arrive. Ray/Deanna right behind. Ray is amazed by Uchenna's rowing.

Sus/Pat arrive and not yield as they decide to do the river.

Lynn/Alex arrive at the camp ground and see the flag. RoadBlock - Who's not a vegetarian. Have to eat traditional Argentina meal...Cow rib..pork sausage... blood sausage..ack. I missed the rest. I think he said each portion weighs 4 pounds? Will fill in as we hear more.

Alex is eating away as Rob/Amber arrive. Rob is going to do it but he is amazed at the 4 pounds...he says, "At least I'm hungry." Lynn encourages Alex to barf it up and make more room but Alex tells him that when you're doing an eating challenge that is the last thing you want to hear.

Sus/Pat finish and are off to campground as Deb/Bia arrive. One of them - oh Debbie says she almost died in a water rafting accident but they are still going to do it as Bianca reassures her it will be fine.

4 teams came into the city at the same time and now trying to beat each other to the grounds and asking for directions.

Amber asks if it is any good or is it yucky and Rob says he doesn't want to talk about it.

Mere/Gret and Greg/Brian running for the clue. Mere is going to eat and - ack - not sure which of the brothers is doing it.

Ron is going to do it. Lynn encouraging Alex as Rob doesn't think he'll be able to eat it all. Uchen/Joy arrive and Uchenna is going to do it.

Rob is having a hard time. He says the brains and intestine is the nastiess part as the brothers joke about how when they make brains at home it is the best part. Alex throws up and Amber tells Rob not to pay attention to him. Lynn tells Alex it's alright.

Rob wonders what happens if you can't finish and asks Amber - he has to come up with a plan but he doesn't want to sit there for 3 hours and try to finish it...you take a 4 hour penalty. Rob quits. And their countdown starts...

Deanna is going to eat... she tells Ray she doesn't think she'll be able to do it and Ray says they made a big mistake as Rob decides they have to get others to quit too. He goes to work on Ray - Deanna then quits. Rob says the beauty of the plan is that it is foolproof.

Lynn asks Rob why he quit as he had a good lead. Ron says this is the worst eating experience he has had in his life - and reminds us that he had to eat in an Iraqi prison. Uchenna is working hard as Gret tells Mere she wishes she could help.

Deanna and Ray urging Gret to have Mere to quit.. now Mere and Gret are discussing whether they should quit it.

No kidding! I can't believe this!

During every other season everyone sucked it up and did the Road Blocks. Then along comes Rob who can't scoff down four pounds of meat and everyone follows his lead.

I swear, if they all quit and take a penalty...

Mere doesn't think he can eat it all and he quits. Gret says they'll just wait with everyone as Amber says it is a smart move.

Lynn encourages Alex and tells him he is almost there as Gret says that Uchenna is knocking it out. Uchenna finishes and they clap for him as Alex can't believe it.

Drive yourself 8 miles to next pit stop - a traditional Argentine ranch. I missed the name. Uchenna says it is so cool to come in first and Joyce asks him if he wants a mint and he laughs.

Alex finishes and Lynn/Alex are off. They think they can beat Uch/Joy because they'll get lost. Lynn tells Alex he did awesome.

Uch/Joyce turn in somewhere but realize it isn't right and have to turn around. Lynn/Alex think they are in the right place but Alex tells him to stop...

Lynn/Alex are team #1. They cheer and hug. They tell Phil that they passed Rob/Amber on the river. Phil says that must have felt good.

Uchenna/Joyce arrive and are team #2. They can't believe it ... Phil says Uchenna is a monster eater but they got beaten out on the drive to pit stop.

Haha! Sus/Pat are eating something on their ride to camp ground and Pat says they will get some small meal when they get there!

Greg/Brian finish and are off...with Ron/Kelly right behind.

Pat is going to eat as they pass Greg/Brian on their way out.

Mere/Gret's penalty time now starts as Sus/Pat have arrived.

Deb/Bia on their way to the campground now. Determined not to give up even though it doesn't look good.

Brian/Greg are team #3 and Ron/Kelly are team #4. They stood on the mat together and high fived.

Pat tells Sus to be quiet and they are bickering. Pat says the more she talks to him the more he doesn't want to do it. She says this is it, it could be over.

Amber tells Rob this was a good idea and he agrees. They are all watching Sus/Pat. Pat says he can't do it. He doesn't think Deb/Bia are going to finish it.

Deb/Bia arrive now. Sus/Pat still not doing it as Debbie starts eating. Rob says he thinks Deb will eat as soon as she finds out she can still be in this game.

Rob/Amber's time is up and they start off. Rob says that was slick the way they pulled it off. Rob and Amber are team #5. Phil was laughing but he says he doesn't know why he is laughing. Phil asks how Rob convinced the teams to not do it and Rob says he has no idea.

Bia cheering on Debbie... Pat eats something and throws up as Bia tells Debbie not to listen. She covers her ears and sings so she can't hear it.

Gret says she feels so bad for them

Ray/Deanna's time is up with Mere/Gret right behind them. They are off. Ray/Deanna say they will beat them in a footrace.

Ray/Deanna are team #6.

Mere/Gret get a little lost but they get to the mat. They are team #7. Mere says lucky 7.

Pat is eating away as Bia tells Debbie she has the same amount as Patrick.

Debbie still working as Patrick finishes... she is on her last bite. Pat says he just needed the pressure. Sus gets a little lost...as Debbie finishes. Bianca claps for her saying, "Yeah the only girl that did it."

Deb/Bia on their way as Sus/Pat still a little lost.

Wow..not sure... ok, Sus/Pat are team #8. Phil teases them with a long pause. Pat/Sus say this is high drama.

Debbie/Bianca are the last team to arrive. They have been eliminated. They hug. Phil tells him he was pretty confident they were going to be in the top 3 and they say they made a huge mistake. They hug and say they love each other.

Ok - I hate that taking the penalty didn't cause a team to lose because now they will think about doing it again when it gets a little tough! That's crazy.

Wow. I thought for sure this would be an elimination leg.

I would have never thought D/K would come in last.

Love him or hate him, but I think Rob is setting a precedence for future races. Meaning other teams may now start thinking "outside the box".

I would "not" eat 4 lbs of meat and would also take the time penalty.

Rob was smart not to do it since several teams had not shown up. It takes a long time to eat that much food.

Why make people eat to the point of being sick. I would rather see them do a challange other than making yourself sick.

Honestly I'm torn. I didn't like him on Survivor but I can't decide if I dislike him here or not. Have to give him credit tonight, though, this could have been it for them but he somehow pulled it out. I think I'm reserving judgement until we get into some tougher tasks and we see if how he handles those.

scorpio, it WAS an elimination round. i think you meant you thought for sure it would be a NON elimination race! i read your post first and thought everyone was safe and then a post or two later i saw the girls were out and said, "huh?"
can't wait to see the show. thanks for spoiling all!

I can't decide which is more fun, watching Rob this season, or watching Scorpio getting aggravated at watching Rob this season. (hee, hee, just messing with you Scorpio.)
