The Amazing Race

Run Like Scalded Dogs!

Season 16, Episode 3, Aired 2/28/10

Episode Summary

The nine remaining teams depart the Pit Stop at Gruta de la Virgen in Puerto Varas, Chile for Bariloche, Argentina, but an illness threatens one teams ability to proceed. A lassoing Roadblock is right up Jet's alley, but proves daunting for others. A polo-themed "Horse Power" Detour choice exhausts some physically, while following directions is too much of a mental challenge for others on a "Horse Sense" hunt for buried loot. In the end, one team struggles to reach the Pit Stop at Estancia Fortin Chacabuco and can only hope they'll be spared elimination.moreless

"Bad"

By BrockAlexander, Mar 06, 2010 Report Abuse

Absolutely dismal casting this season, besides the cowboys, I cant think of anyone worth cheering on. Makes me mad, sitting here in Aus, that we cant have any involvement. How poor have they all performed in the challenges thus far, big brother team - dont read challenges and how did she win that show, i'd slash my wrists listening to her. The models oh brother, are they serious and such!!!! The detectives omg, thank god there arent on my watch. Brothers frankly ones gay and the other one just doesnt know it yet. We have seen a team not able to walk repel across a walkline. A team paint a wrong house. Instructions not read over and over again plus no one is worth listening to, genuinely funny. Casting director should be shot. Thats enough ranting, i just get disappointed being in Aus that i cant compete in such a great event esp with such underwhelming teams this season. Usually i love you TAR but sadly this is the worst season i have seen cast. Looking fwd to TAR Asiamoreless

"Perfect"

By amazing_race, Mar 01, 2010 Report Abuse

I founrd this episode to be a little worse than the previous one, but still very interesting and full of greatness.

I thought the idea of poker with rthe gnomes was great, but too bad, the teams didn't actually have to do anything to win.

The Road Block was great, but it seemed really difficult, and personally, I wouldn't want to attempt that!

I thought the Detour was innovative, and personally, both tasks would've been quite easy for me, although they had their tricky aspects.

I thought the episode was quite nerve-racking, particularly with the emergency room, but I was disappointed that the ending wasn't as close as it seemed to appear.

Overall, an excellent episode that I would highly recommend. Not as great as the last one, but in my opinion, it is still a magnificent episode.

Keep it up TAR, as this season is looking remarkable so far!moreless
