S36.E04: Those Who Wander Are Not Lost

[chitowngirl]

Teams paraglide their way to the start of this leg in Medellín, Colombia, where they must choose between detours getting in sync or decoding a rebus puzzle.

[DEL901]

Yikes.  The detour option were so mismatched….or so I thought until so many people blew the easy one big time, over and over and didn’t even seem familiar with the concept.  

[Lantern7]

Paragliding. Helluva way to start a leg.

Looks like so much fun. It is things like this why people want to go on the Amazing Race.

 

Are they using drones to film them up-close?

He couldn’t do the coffee steps but had not problem with paragliding.

[Browncoat]

Paragliding -- cool, but I'd be terrified.  Glad the fog cleared up, though.

Hooray for the full opening!

[Lantern7]

Full credits this week!

[Browncoat]

"Not as cute."

"Speak for yourself!"

Heh.

[nilyank]

Actual facetime for Yvonne and Melissa.

[dizzyd]

Loving the challenges so far today. Does anyone know what Phil’s pendant means? Lol, even the dog read the clue and didn’t walk or run the escalator.

[Browncoat]

How hard could breakdancing be?  Oh, Phil.  Have you watched this show?

[nilyank]

Oooh they gave us the clues so we can play along.

But I want to see players trying to breakdance.

[Browncoat]

Even the dog didn't walk or run on the escalator!

[nilyank]

Ha. Dog riding down the escalators.

The world is bigger than you think.

[Browncoat]

Amazing camera people are amazing.

Yup, coz I think it’s a small world after all.

[Lantern7]

I liked Random Escalator Dog.

[Browncoat]

That really didn't seem to be that hard of a puzzle.

Unless you overthink it.

I have done that paragliding in Medellin.  From the exact same starting point.  It was forking amazing!  I opted for a full hour, and I could have stayed up there all day! 

I can't figure out how they got the footage they did.    Drones, as someone mentioned above?  GoPro cameras on their feet?  Personally, I'd like to have seen more scenery, less racers.  I give DoubleDutch guy kudos for not freaking out about it. 

The murals are cool, but I wish they had to wait a set time between guesses.  The breakdancing looks sooooo hard! 

I think the girlfriends are getting the elimination edit.  Just a total guess, but for some reason I'm getting that feeling.

Vinny and Amber are getting on my nerves.

[dizzyd]

The dance detour is turning out to be significantly more difficult.

Amber shouldn’t have come on the race.

[nilyank]

Taxi driver is giving Vinnie and Amber that side eye.

Yeah, they are not close in any way.  I can't think of other detours that were so lopsided.

Good point.  When they first started with "The world" I hoped it would be "The world is waiting."

I think this is the most we’ve seen of them this season.

Another seemingly lopsided Detour.

Or if you don't do them in order.

[Lantern7]

“Double H hockey sticks”?!? The actual fuck?

[dizzyd]

Those boys can dance for me anytime.😉

[MerBearHou]

Bizzy and Sunny’s puzzle interpretation is SO off!!  Mama rat took little rat skiing around the world…

[Browncoat]

How on earth did they get to "those who wander are not lost" from that puzzle?

[dizzyd]

These ladies are cracking me up with their guesses. 

[Browncoat]

Oh, dude, don't blame her because you're fucking up the dance.

[nilyank]

The judge is being nice.

[Browncoat]

And now blaming the dance because it's a routine instead of freestyle.

[iMonrey]

I guess the dance isn't that hard after all but it would suck so much time up to learn it. The puzzle seems super easy, but wow the girls have no clue.

Rod didn't even confer with Leticia before choosing the dance. He's really overbearing.

[dizzyd]

Sean really getting into it, complete 180 after last week.

[Lantern7]

I think Rod was a little too eager to breakdance. Luckily, it didn’t cost him and Leticia.

Sunny & Bizzy . . . oy vey. “Globe, rat . . . ‘As I walk through the valley to the shadow of death’?”

[Browncoat]

Interesting sculptures.  In a good way.

Because they don't seem to understand it's a REBUS.

I want that giant fat cat.

The Roadblock is easier if you knew Spanish.

[Browncoat]

The earth I find than we think?  WTF?

[nilyank]

"The earth I find makes me think."

Umm not really.

[Lantern7]

Twenty- . . . thirty-one tries? OMG.

[Browncoat]

Okay, maybe the detour isn't really as lopsided as we thought.

[dizzyd]

I’m imagining them watching this with their families who are probably laughing at their guesses. They’re never going to let them forget this.

[Grizzly]

Now I can't even remember what the right answer is because they've been so close.

Is that your final guess? 😉
