The Amazing Race 16 Episode 3

Grandmother and granddaughter Jody & Shannon were eliminated in The Amazing Race 16 Episode 2.
Teams depart in the order in which they arrived, except for the sick Brent & Caite.
First: Jet & Cord - 11:20PM
Second: Joe & Heidi - 11:55PM
Third: Carol & Brandy - 11:55PM
Fourth: Monique & Shawne - 1:22AM
Fifth: Jordan & Jeff - 2:01AM
Sixth: Steve & Allie - 2:23AM
Seventh: Dan & Jordan- 2:25AM
Eighth: Louie & Michael - 3:12AM
Ninth: Brent & Caite: 4:25AM (3 hours and 5 minutes after scheduled departure)
Carol & Brandy say they bicker about the stupidest things, not something which will help them on the race.
Caite’s sick, and Brent may not be far behind. They think it’s either dehydration or food poisoning.
Teams will take 1 of 2 buses on a 6 hour ride through the Andes Mountains into Bariloche, Argentina. Upon arrival, they will drive themselves to an old saloon, El Boliche Viejo, where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hid. When they get there, they will have to play a game of 5 card stud against the Travelocity roaming gnome.
The first three teams to arrive will get on the first bus, so it’s pretty well predetermined what the order will be, not that it makes a large difference.
First bus (departs at 8:30AM): Jet & Cord, Joe & Heidi, Carol & Brandy
Second bus (departs at 8:50AM): Monique & Shawne, Jordan & Jeff, Steve & Allie, Dan & Jordan, Louie & Michael, Brent & Caite
Everybody follows the cowboys. Based on the results of the previous leg, they believe they’re strong contenders. Knowing they’re being followed and knowing they have the right directions, Jet & Cord just pull over and let everybody else pass.
Dan & Jordan continue to struggle driving stick. This could well cost them the race at some point.
The next destination is the Pena Gaucha, where the road block is steer roping. This is tailor made to the cowboys, who should now be able to get a comfortable lead back.
Road block: Heidi, Carol, Jet, Jeff, Steve, Shawne, Michael/Louie, Dan, Brent
Teams must then drive themselves to Puente Nirihuau, where they will search the cliffs overlooking the river for their next clue. The cowboys figure that breaking the gnome may be better than breaking their legs, should it come down to a choice between the two.
The detour is a choice between horse sense or horse power. In horse sense, they will use an old time compass to follow coordinates by counting out steps. They will then dig up a bag, and if it matches, they will get their next clue. Counting steps and then digging? Does not sound good. In horse power, teams will play polo using a practice pony and must attempt to score a goal in 9 swings or less.
Horse power: Jet & Cord, Steve & Allie, Carol & Brandy (switched from horse sense), Joe & Heidi (switched from horse sense), Dan & Jordan (switched from horse sense), Brent & Caite, Louie & Michael (switched from horse sense)
Horse sense: Jordan & Jeff, Monique & Shawne (switched from horse power)
Joe’s under the impression that the compass on his watch will help him here. Oh no. Brandy wants Carol to be the leader, kinda, but the bickering does not look like it will end regardless of who the leader is. Jeff & Jordan seem to have figured out the task, except that they don’t know who the lead bandit is. It does not seem as if they’ve read the clue. Luckily, Louie & Michael hand their bag to them on a silver platter. Jeff’s decided that he and Jordan are too stupid to reproduce.
The trailing teams begin to pile up on the horse power detour, creating a battle for last.
The pit stop for this leg of the race is Estancia Fortin Chacabuco, a ranch at the foot of the Andes mountains.
First: Jet & Cord (win a trip to Chile)
Second: Steve & Allie
Third: Carol & Brandy
Fourth: Joe & Heidi
Fifth: Jordan & Jeff
Sixth: Dan & Jordan
Seventh: Brent & Caite
Eighth: Louie & Michael
Eliminated: Monique & Shawne
Finding out that God does not care about the results of the race, Monique & Shawne have been eliminated. And I was so looking forward to the sick whiny people being eliminated instead.
