Talk:The Amazing Race 3 (Latin American season)

Was the first episode the first part of a double lenght leg, or the first leg, without a rest period?
What do you think, what kind of leg was it? Here is what Harris told the teams:
 * Felipe & Alejandro: ...and i have got another surprise, we are still racing, here is your next clue.
 * Nicolás & Cristóbal: ... i have got a surprise, this is not a pit stop, you're still racing.
 * Toya & Juan del Mar: ...another clue, you're still racing.
 * José & Marisol: This is not a pit stop, you're still racing. Here's your next clue.
 * Nico & Andre: here's your next clue, you are still racing.
 * Pablo & Rosario:...you're still racing, here's your next clue.
 * Maxi & Demi: ...you're still racing, here is your next clue.
 * Rosy & Mónica: ...you haven't finished, here is your next clue.
 * Rick & Kathy: ...you're still racing, here is your next clue.
 * Ale & Eze: ...you're still racing cause' here is your next clue.
 * Vero & Gaba: ...you're the last team to arrive, this is a non elimination, in the next leg you will have to complete a speed bump, but you have to keep racing cause' here's is your next clue.

It is clearly a double lenght leg! he said several times this is not a pit stop.

 * This very same argument came up over the discussion of the first and fourth legs of Season 18. In the first leg of that season, the first team to arrive won a prize (the express pass), but everyone was told to continue racing, and that it was not over. This is a rehash of this idea. The first leg simply ended without a conventional rest stop. This has been argued to death, and I'd rather not do it again. The fact that the girls received a penalty for arriving last should be proof enough. He said they have a Speed Bump next leg, and I doubt they're gonna have a Speed Bump two episodes from now. 174.1.48.24 (talk) 23:58, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * (In response to quotes): Exactly. This is basically the same thing Phil said to the teams in Season 18.
 * This is a TAR18-style no-break leg.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 00:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Gonzalochileno, the first team got a prize. That's a Pit Stop. This is exactly what happened in Sydney for the Unfinished Business racers.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 00:10, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * To clarify, every leg ends with a prize.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 00:13, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Okay, if there is a consensus of it being like TAR 18 pit stops, i'm ok with that, also i'm not so sure if this season will have prizes in every leg, cause' it doesn't have sponsors... but we'll see later Gonzalochileno (talk) 00:16, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Both of the en Discovery Channel versions had prizes at the end of each leg. The Express Pass is a prize and it was awarded at the end of the El Calafate leg.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 00:18, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You were right guys, a producer told me it was the same as TAR 18. Sorry :D Gonzalochileno (talk) 01:57, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * A who told you what?— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 02:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I asked a producer of the show if it was a double lenght leg or a no-break leg, and she said it was exactly like TAR 18, so you were right. Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * How do you have the contact info for a producer?— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 02:28, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * People from production really likes to interact with fans on the facebook page of the race Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:45, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't think the first two seasons fall under this same category... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.1.48.24 (talk) 03:28, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

No, they don't... because those seasons aired before the introduction of this kind of leg, the others were just double legs.Gonzalochileno (talk) 18:09, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Grammar
Please, could anyone check the grammar of this article? I'm not a native speaker of the english language, so there are probably many mistakes. Thanks Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:14, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Not that bad. All fixed up.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 02:45, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot Ryulong! Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:57, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * In the future, if you could get the names of the specific things in the Detours, it'd be nice, too.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 02:59, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

The info. was different for every team, i think to avoid they could help each other. Also, please check the grammar of this 3rd leg. THANKS! Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:02, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Please check grammar, as usual :D Gonzalochileno (talk) 01:54, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Please check the grammar, i think i made more mistakes than usual XD Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:02, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I've checked the grammar, but it would help to know what fountain you refer to in the Roadblock.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 02:09, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Please check Leg 6 grammar. Thanks a lot for your work, without it it would look awful! :/ Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:00, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I did it, already.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 03:49, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Please check the grammar for leg 8, i'm really sorry if i have many mistakes, but my computer was extremely slow, and it took me a loooong time to do it :( Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:43, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't have to keep asking.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 02:47, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Okay, i won't ask again... Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:50, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Twins
Are you sure Cristóbal did the Roadblock on the third leg? I'm pretty sure I heard Rosario saying thank you to "Nico" as he was perparing to jump. It's really hard to tell with twins. 174.1.48.24 (talk) 02:33, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

It was Cristóbal, he said i wil do it, Cristóbal... i think it is kind of a rule to say who will do it. Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:41, 11 October 2011 (UTC)


 * How can you tell them apart? lol 174.1.48.24 (talk) 04:46, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

One of the twins is taller than the other. But i don't know who is the tallest yet :/ Gonzalochileno (talk) 18:22, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Fountain
The fountain was right in the intersection of those 2 streets, a name in spanish could be Fuente de los Candados. We could put in the summary something like this:
 * Montevideo (Intersection of 18 de Julio and Yi Street - Fuente de los Candados) Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:38, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * So say that it was the "Fuente de los Candados".— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 02:41, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, i didn't understood your question at first. lol Gonzalochileno (talk) 02:55, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * You want to always be specific and use proper nouns when possible.— Ryulong ( 竜龙 ) 03:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, next time i will try to do it as correct as possible, but today i didn't have much time... sorry :( Gonzalochileno (talk) 03:12, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
