Amazing Race, Ep. 23.2

Leg #2: Iquique Chile -> Santiago, Chile

Detour: Brining or Mining
Both tasks have to do with salt mining. In "Brining" they have to strip down to their bathing suits and carry big bags of salt to a tub full of water. They have to put in enough salt in to float. In "Mining" they have to use sledge hammers to break up big chunks of salt.

Bike riding to the task site proved to be very difficult for Nicole, she was wobbling to and fro and even crashed. Yikes! About half of the teams choose "Mining" and the other half choose "Brining". Shocker: Tim & Marie do nothing but yell at each other through the entire task. These 2 are going to kill each other before this race is over...one of them is leaving in a body bag.

Brandon & Adam emerged first from the Detour, moving from last to first. Nicky & Kim are in last.

The bus going to Santiago is 24 hours...bummer! 5 teams leave on the first bus, some others leave on the 2nd. Rowan & Shane figured out that the bus the other 4 teams are on is making a lot of stops and is going to take a lot longer than 24 hours. The ticket agents tell them another bus leaves at 4 PM...they think they said they would ARRIVE at 4 PM, which they think is going to give them a couple hour lead on the 2nd bus. They act like they are getting on the bus with everyone else, but at the last minute don't get on. They then find out that they don't arrive at 4 PM, they will arrive at 10 PM...uh oh! That totally backfired! There is another bus that will leave in an hour that will get them there around 7/8 PM.

On the bus ride, Nicky & Kim make a connection with Tim & Marie. It just so happens that Kim's husband played minor league baseball with Tim! Tim & Marie say they would like to align with them since everyone else hates them. It looks like Nicky & Kin will be getting the 2nd Express Pass.

Road Block: Shoeshine Carts
They have to shine some shoes and then put together the shoeshine cart and then wheel it through the town to get their clue.

All of the teams just piled everything up, but when they arrived were told they had to actually put it together first.

Chester & Ephraim finish first with Leo & Jamal close behind.

By the time the 2nd bus of racers arrives, it is completely dark. Somehow, Rowan & Shane actually caught up to everyone else. Rowan bothers a guy who was working and made him come with him, only to find out that he had done it wrong and had to start over. Nicky was also having problems and had to start over. She tried to get Marie to give her the Express Pass, but she said she couldn't give it to her there and that she could beat Bingo (aka Rowan & Shane)

Pitstop #2
Leo & Jamal arrived first but didn't completely settle their cab bill, so they had to go back. When they come back to the mat, they start yelling at each other placing blame on each other.
