Lima International Airport. The teams who came straight here from Quito are already headed for the flight to Santiago, and Rob and Amber are hustling to try to get on it. When they get there, though, they're told that it's too late to get on the flight. Danny and Oswald join them, and though they cajole and ask nicely, they can't get themselves on the flight. "This is not fun," Oswald says, and the flight to Santiago leaves without them. Rob talks about how easy it is, in a short time, to lose whatever advantage you thought you had, and he's certainly right about that.
Commercials. I hide from Lowe's, too, but for very different reasons.
When we return, we see Rob and Amber and Danny and Oswald on a different, and slightly later, flight to Santiago. And then we are in Santiago, just in time to see the lead plane land. Teams hustle for taxis, and Eric and Pink are out in front, followed by Uchenna and Joyce. It appears that Mary is once again in an alliance, waiting at the airport for Charla and Mirna. At the Codelco Building, Eric and Danielle and Uchenna and Joyce open the clue, which is a Roadblock. Phil explains that at this Roadblock, one team member has to go down to the ground floor and solve a puzzle that starts with finding letters of the alphabet scattered around the room. What they need to figure out is that the majority of the letters -- though apparently not all -- scramble to spell the name of a copper mine, which is one of a bunch of mines pictured (with name plates) on the walls. When you think you have the answer, you show it to the security guard, and he gives you your clue.
Uchenna and Joyce read off the "Who has an eye for detail?" clue for the Roadblock, and they agree that she has the eye for detail, so she'll do it. Eric and Pink decide that he should do this one. For once, they actually show the entire Roadblock clue, which says that the room contains "details" that reveal the answer, and that when they have the answer, they'll take it to the guard. Joyce and Eric enter the room at essentially the same time, finding a bunch of guys sitting around the table talking -- nice of them to wait around until 3:00 in the morning. I guess a morning bunching was considered undesirable, given that this would have been an obvious place for one. Eric voices over that when they got in there, they saw letters all over the place -- on people's sleeves and ties and lighters and pens and whatnot. Basically, the key to solving the puzzle is noticing the business about the pictures on the walls. Dustin and Kandice arrive next, and Dustin takes the Roadblock and enters the room. Bill and Joe show up fourth, and Bill takes it. So now, we have Eric, Joyce, Dustin, and Bill in the room. Kevin and Drew come, and Kevin takes the Roadblock. That is, assuming Kevin can't claim credit for the Roadblock he already did today, "Jump Out Of The Way Of A Speeding SUV."
