Season 23 is here! Phil says it will be the most competitive teams yet! Should be exciting...
In case you missed it, here are the bios for the 11 teams.
The 2 Express Passes are in play again this season. The team to finish 1st on the 1st leg of the race will win an Express Pass for themselves and a 2nd Express Pass for them to give to someone else.
And they're off, to Chile!
Leo & Jamal, cousins, aka "Afghanimals" are out first and they make it to the airport first. Brandon & Adam are the first team to get stuck on the 2nd flight. All the teams finally make it to the airport, and it's a waiting game, so they take the time to get to know everyone. Leo & Jamal and Ally & Ashley connect quickly and could be the first alliance in the race.
Nicole & Travis seem to have an advantage, as they speak pretty fluent Spanish. It turns out Leo & Jamal do as well.
Road Block: Follow Paraglider
One team member will paraglide while the other will remain on the ground and will follow them in a taxi and meet them wherever they land.
Marie "stole" the cab from Jamal as they raced to find their partner. I'm not sure if she knew she was stealing his cab, but he had called for a cab and she ended up snagging it. He already thought she was annoying, so this could be the first enemies of the season.
Road Block: Collect 5 Fish
Whoever did the 1st Road Block, must do this Road Block. Nicole & Travis reach this Road Block 1st. Rowan is funny, he said "my name isn't Rowan for nothing"...as he rows his boat to collect his fish. Meanwhile, Chester wondered if the little rowboat would hold him. Some teams made it look easy, while others struggled to get themselves going.
Leo & Jamal didn't read the clue and Jamal took off in the boat. If it wasn't for one of the girls, they would have had no clue. It took Leo awhile to get Jamal to come back to the dock so he could go out and do the task, and Jamal didn't seem to be in any hurry.
Jason & Amy lucked out that Jason got to do the rowing task because he rowed crew. That task was nothing for him...he killed it! Brandon on the other hand was confused and couldn't find the right boats.
Naina also read the clue wrong and took off in the boat. She continued to flop around and struggle, and THEN she realized that she read the clue wrong and he should have done it. It was dark by the time he finished. Bummer. However, reading the clue wrong didn't lose it for them, because Brandon & Adam were almost done and had already left the Road Block.
Pit Stop
Nicole & Travis arrive first, however...they have a 30 minute penalty because they took a taxi instead of walking. They are reminded of the #1 Rule in Amazing Race: READ THE CLUE!
