Well, at least there were two Texans victorious tonight. Chester and Ephraim won the second leg of the Amazing Race (in Chile) and won a trip to some resort islands that they can take after the race. First they had to translate and recite a phrase in Spanish then take a cab ride to some salt mines where they busted some large salt rocks until they uncovered a clue. They then rode a bus to Santiago and had to shine shoes then pack up the shoe shine cart and return it to the vendor.

A pair of Afghan cousins actually beat them to the pit stop but they failed to pay their cabbie and were told to go back, giving Chester and Ephraim enough time to check in first.

Back at the salt mine while others were using picks and chisels, the former NFL linemen chose to just lift the rocks over their heads and smash them on the ground. That did not give them the lead but did allow them to make up for lost time.

The theatre performers were eliminated, sparing the baseball wives who, at least, got a chance to switch into bikinis before they'll eventually be eliminated. Typically, the women who spend the first two shows whining things like "I can't do this," "I'm so scared" and "This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do" don't last very long on this show.
