The cowboys were lucky, but they were also smart - the grandmother/granddaughter team could have gotten on the same buses they did if they'd done a little more research at the bus station.
And the one in the white hat with the rain cover is HAWT.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

And the cowboys were the recipients of really excellent luck; loved how they acknowleged that and didn't even attempt to say that they got on the best connection because they were paying attention.
I thought they played hella smart. I mean, thinking to check in during a bus change to get the 6:30 bus was smart, and also ensured they knew where the other bus was boarding too. I thought they raced super smart, and I don't think it was luck AT ALL that helped them.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I missed something because I didn't follow how the grandmother/daughter team got so far behind on the buses. They seemed competitive enough on the challenges, and would have been good people to root for.

They were worried about getting on the second bus because the line was so long, so they went looking for a different bus company. But instead of looking around for the best option, it looked to me like they just bought the first tickets they found.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
And they knew when they got them that they were an hour or more behind and just kind of shrugged and hoped for the best. That's why I'm not too sorry to see them gone, much as I liked them. If they struggled because of the grandmother's physical strength (or balance!) or something like that, it would be a sadder exit. But they weren't fighting even in the stuff that had zero to do with any physical capabilities.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, the cowboys ran a great leg, which was nice to see. And even though the tasks kind of played to their strengths, too, I would not have been surprised if a team that thought they could buy any kind of foreign money and it would work out could get lost driving around....

I think part of that money exchange was edited to show them as being stupid when they were trying to think ahead. One of them commented that it was the only "walking around money" that was available. I'm almost willing to bet that the exchange person assured them that the money would work in Chile (I forget what kind they got).
I'm surprised that any teams did the condor jump in the water challenge. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Clearly, if anyone recorded me traveling to places I didn't know about, I would at some point say or do something stupid.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm pretty sure that for me, the traveling part would not be necessary.
