The race runs its second leg in Chile, but not all of it in Iquique. Ten teams leave in the middle of the night to visit a floating museum, which of course doesn't open until 7:15 AM. That gives Marie plenty of time to get on everyone's nerves with her bossiness, but since she and Tim have an Express Pass to wave in everyone's faces she more or less gets away with it. In the morning, the teams have to board the ship and then research a quote by a famous Chilean sea captain to get their clue. That sends them to a Detour at a salt mine in which they have to either break up salt boulders with hammers and spikes or fill tubs of water with enough salt to allow them to float on their backs while reading a newspaper. Neither of these is physically unchallenging, because the salt for the tubs comes in 25-kg bags and the salt for the other half of the Detour is in the form of boulders to be smashed with hammers and spikes.
Then it's a 1000-mile bus ride to the capital city of Santiago. There's some bus terminal intrigue in which half the teams get on a 1:30 PM bus, while most of the other half gets on a 2:00 PM bus. Rowan & Shane, a.k.a. Team Bingo, pull what they think is a fast one, waiting for a later bus that they think will get them there sooner, only to learn that the later bus will also get them there later. So they really just ended up pulling a really slow one. And this after getting lost on the way to the Detour, too.
When the lead teams show up in Santiago the following afternoon, they find a Roadblock that requires them to shine a customer's shoes, then Tetris all the pieces of the self-contained shoeshine stand into their proper places and roll the whole assembly six blocks to get their clue. This proves more challenging than most teams expected, so most of them end up being required to repack correctly. Meanwhile, on the second bus, Tim & Marie form an alliance with the baseball wives because Tim knows Nicky's husband and Nicky & Kim want the Express Pass. Former football players Chester & Ephraim finish the Roadblock in first place, just ahead of Afghanimals Leo & Jamal, and race them to the Pit Stop at a nature reserve outside town. It's close, especially when Leo has some trouble paying their cabdriver and they have to go back. That puts Team NFL in first place for this leg, and the Afghanimals in second, though they end up bickering on the mat as bitterly as if it were last. Brandon & Adam, who started the leg in tenth but spent the first half of it in the lead, come in third, followed by ER docs Nicole & Travis in fourth and Jason & Amy in fifth.
The second bus arrives after dark, hours later, but the plaza is still busy as they take on the Roadblock. And when Team Bingo catches up with them after all despite taking the third and last bus. Rowan still manages to blow it by temporarily usurping the job and commandeering the gear (and probably ruining the night) of a random shoeshine guy who has nothing to do with the race. Okies Tim & Danny end up in sixth place, with blondes Ally & Ashley in seventh.
Meanwhile, Nicky left her rug at the shoeshine station and has to go back for it, especially since Marie refuses to give her the Express Pass because she doesn't see what's in it for her. After a mortifying scene at the Roadblock checkpoint, Rowan finds a marked shoeshine stand while Nicky is finding her rug, but she still manages to beat him to the final clue while he struggles with packing. Tim & Marie check in as team number eight while Team Bingo and the baseball wives race for last. Ultimately, Nicky & Kim come in ninth, and Team Bingo is Philiminated, deservedly so.
