The Amazing Race Recap: Valley of the Dead, Chile

Beauty is Sometimes Skin Deep

Rob and Amber, who arrived in Quinto, Ecuador in first place, were the first team to depart, with instructions to fly to Santiago, Chile. When they landed, they were to travel to the headquarters of Codelco, the largest copper mining company in the world.

On the way out of the park, Charla and Mirna managed to get their truck stuck in the mud, and were helped out by those overly-nice folks from Kentucky, David and Mary, which actually lead Mirna to say that they were trustworthy. Too bad the same couldn't be said for her. There I go with the foreshadowing again. Keep reading to see what I mean.

Grease: You're the One That I Want Recap: Frankie Avalon Performs with the Sandys

On the prior episode, Chad and Kathleen were saved by the judges from having to go home. This week, Frankie Avalon joins the panel as the remaining Sandys sing their hearts out. Presumably since only the girls are singing this week, there will only be two people in the bottom next week. If there are still four, then only one person won't be in the bottom group!

That's the strangest thing about this show is the unpredictability. On one hand, that is okay. Not knowing what comes next isn't entirely bad. You want to watch to see what happens. But on the other hand, it's just bizarre. It seems like they change things every week and so it's hard to get it down. On American Idol, they keep you guessing as to who is going to leave, but the format is basically the same. Here they announce it at the end, in the beginning, it's four people, it's two people, your vote counts, except when it doesn't. It's just strange. Oh well. On with the show.
