I have an 8:54 start time. Stupid X-factor is dragging it out further tonight (why do they even need Ariana Grande to sing 3 songs?)
-
Yep, I've got 8:54-10:07pm for tonight :)
-
It's 8:53. HURRY THE (SWEAR WORD) UP AND CRUSH SOMEONES DREAMS ALREADY X-FACTOR!!!!!!
-
Well done 7. 14 minutes late from your advertised time of 8:45.
-
Actually starting up at 8:58 this time...
Previously on TAR Aus vs NZ, alliances were broken, then in a Nation vs Nation battle, John & Murray opted to go it alone and the Aussies came out on top.
Romance blossomed!
*engagement*
And Daniel & Ryan came in first and won Salvage Pass.
John & Murray struggled with wood building and came in last, with their fate determined by Daniel & Ryan.
2 NZ and 3 Aus are left - who will be eliminated next?
-
Russia is the biggest country in the world spanning 9 timezones!
Teams are departing on the 7th leg from the Russian capital of Moscow (assuming travel during Pit Stop).
Daniel & Ryan depart at 9:49am!
FLY TO LISBON, PORTUGAL!
-
Ash & Jarrod start at 10:14am.
I don't understand how Daniel & Ryan came first if their time factors in a 1-hour advantage..... :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
Sally & Tyson start at 10:33am!
Sally thinks Portugal is South America! :funny:
-
Ashleigh: Only thing I know about Portugal is Nando's! :funny:
12:20am - Cat & Jesse start
12:31am - Carla & Hereni start
Hereni (or one of them) is part-Portuguese :o
Carla & Hereni talk about it's important to help out Cat & Jesse as the last two Kiwi teams.
Sally Googled Portugal and found out it's in Europe. :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny:
-
LoL at Sally & Tyson thinking that Portugal is South American. (especially the moment at the Internet cafe)
-
All teams take the same flight via Frankfurt, Germany!
And we're in Lisbon! With Daniel & Ryan first out of the airport.
Teams are off to TORRE DE BELEM - the Pit Stop of TAR3 Leg 4 (one of my favourite legs ever) <3
Sally & Tyson and Daniel & Ryan are the first two there!
Learn & Perform a Fado Duet with the help of an MP3 player and must sing the song in Portuguese!
-
The rest of the pack gets to the Torre De Belem with Ashleigh & Jarrod bringing up the rear after getting lost. The Kiwis get there 3rd and 4th, Ashleigh & jarrod get there last.
Jesse is excited for a music task finally.
All teams are learning the song in Portuguese with their headphones in! :lol:
Ashleigh: The only time I see Jarrod sing is 10-15 beers in. :lol:
Hereni: Everyone thinks Maoris are good singers, but I'm one of them that's not.
Carla & hereni attempt first but don't get it.
Ash & Jarrod attempt next and no luck.
Ash: It sounded like a Portuguese traditional song sung by an Australian bogan.
-
Tyson's singing is bringing people to tears! :lol:
Ash: We thought it was beautiful. :lol:
Ash & Jarrod are back again at it.
Jesse: (regarding Jarrod) He was into it, I'll give him that much.
Cat: He was passionate.
No luck!
Cat & Jesse are up next
-
Cat sings is well, but Jesse stuffs up! :lol:
Daniel & Ryan are up next.
They are approved on the first try. Jarrod doesnt' approve
Proceed to the tram stop near the Largo Das Porta Du Sol.
A montage of every other team getting it is shown...
-
Cat & Jesse are the only team left with S/T leaving 2nd, C/H 3rd, A/J 4th.
Cat & Jesse are struggling.
Jesse: If we're eliminated because I cannot do the singing challenge, I don't think I could live with it.
*commercials*
-
We are back!
Cat & Jesse are still singing.
And they get it!
They are out of there in last place!
-
They get to the tram area and they're locked out until the morning.
And all of a sudden it's morning and they get on the No 8 tram to the plaza that looks like TAR23.
DETOUR: Wet or Dry?
In Wet, teams will do the Portuguese street festival with umbrellas and must count only the yellow umbrellas.
In Dry, they must choose a lady and search a bunch of laundry to find the one with their lady's name.
Everyone chooses Wet.
-
And all of a sudden it's morning and they get on the No 8 tram to the plaza that looks like TAR23
I was gonna say.
-
Jesse is colourblind. Occasionally the green ones look yellow to him!
Everyone is frantically counting the yellow umbrellas.
Carla: They weren't in straight rows. If you count in rows, you forget which one's in each row.
Aussies are teaming up. Kiwis do the same.
But Ashleigh & Jarrod have left for Dry and are searching the laundry up a building.
Daniel & Ryan submit a guess. It's wrong.
Sally & Tyson guess. Also wrong.
They go back and work together.
-
Carla & Hereni submit a guess which is wrong.
Cat & Jesse guess - also wrong.
After each wrong guess they have to get a new mini-chalkboard to write on.
Ashleigh & Jarrod can't find a thing in the laundry.
Daniel & Ryan guess correctly and give the answer to Tyson & Sally.
They both get their clue.
Drive yourselves to Fisherman's Beach.
-
Carla & Hereni ask for the answer but the Australians aren't giving anything away.
Ashleigh & Jarrod are searching for Florinda's clothing.
Jarrod: (with a leopard bra) That's a bit racey for Florinda. :lol:
The leading Australian teams hire a taxi to lead them and are working together still.
-
Jarrod wants to change back to Wet. They haven't found one name yet.
Ashleigh wants to stay. Jarrod wants to leave.
*argument*
They leave to go count umbrellas again.
*commercials*
-
*Bonus Extra Video*
Little snippet of Sally & Tyson running around.
*back to commercials*
-
We are back!
Ashleigh & Jarrod's argument ends with them returning to count umbrellas.
Carla & Hereni submit a wrong guess. They're still working with Cat & Jesse.
Cat & Jesse get the right answer! They're out in third place and give the answer to Carla & Hereni, who are out of there in 4th.
Teams are enjoying their convertible sports cars. :lol:
Ash & Jarrod are counting with nobody else in sight.
-
YESSS PLEASE LET ASH AND JARROD GET ELIMINATED!
-
Sally & Tyson and Daniel & Ryan are driving in caravan across beautiful Portugal.
Ashleigh & Jarrod are still counting... umbrellas everywhere and guess a random number of 888 that they saw on a wall. :lol:
Sally stops their taxi to make sure the driver goes to the right place. They're not 100% sure but they resume driving.
Ashleigh & Jarrod are asking locals for the answer... they are COMPLETELY off! :lol: 3000 :funny:
3000 sunshades :lol:
CARLA & HERENI are first at the Roadblock!
Who's a good catch?
The team member performing this RB must sort and deliver mussels, 1 large fish and 5kg of octopus then they must eat a portion of Portuguese fish stew to proceed.
Hereni is performing.
-
Cat & Jesse are 2nd at the Roadblock!
The Kiwi teams are wondering where the Aussies are. Jesse is performing.
The leading Australian teams think they're going the wrong way.
Apparently there is more than one "Fisherman's Beach" and Sally feels bad for making the mistake and screwing up themselves and the nurses.
Daniel & Ryan: We should just ditch them.
-
Back at the Detour, Ashleigh & Jarrod are counting.
Ashleigh: Count all the YELLOW umbrellas.
OMG THEY JUST REALISED! :groan: :groan: :groan: :groan: :groan: :groan: :groan:
*commercials*
-
So what does everyone think. Elimination or non-elimination.
-
We are back!
Ashleigh & Jarrod finally realise to count the YELLOW only. :lol:
"How did we miss that?"
Ashleigh wanted to go back to Dry, but Jarrod does not want to.
Hereni has shoved a lot of fish down her shirt. "Baby on board!" :lol:
Looks like Cat is doing it, not Jesse. And she makes a handbag out of her clothing. :lol:
Daniel & Ryan and Sally & Tyson arrive at the Roadblock. Ryan and Tyson will perform.
-
Ashleigh & Jarrod are over it. Jarrod is sitting in a chair. Ashleigh is sick of the task.
Hereni is lugging fish and trying to find the location by recruiting helpers who are carrying the fish for her. :lol:
Tyson and Ryan seem to be working together. Tyson gets directions but Ryan is not sure about following them anymore.
Back at the Detour, Ashleigh & Jarrod are going to ask locals again. These ones know the answer! :o
Ashleigh & Jarrod get their clue!
-
Lots of applause for Ashleigh & Jarrod :lol:
Hereni finds the restaurant but her octopus is 100 grams under weight! :groan: She has to go all the way back for more.
*commercials*
-
We are back! Hereni's gotta go back and runs all the way back, losing their lead.
Cat is struggling with the carrying. "I've carried my fair share of babies, but I'm pretty sure I made them walk when they were this heavy" :lol:
Tyson gets to the restaurant! So does Ryan. Ryan doesn't have enough octopus. Meanwhile Tyson has enough - he made sure to take the BIG ones, smart guy <3
Time to eat for Tyson, just as Cat arrives!
-
Hereni is back at the start and has another octopus.
Meanwhile Ashleigh & Jarrod finally start their drive and the handbrake was on :lol:
Ryan is back and picks up another octopus.
Cat is praying hers weighs enough. AND IT IS!
Tyson is eating but there are a lot of bones in this food!
Hereni arrives and has her fish done. Cat & Hereni are eating with Tyson now.
-
Cat's "enjoying the meal" while Hereni is gulping it down. Tyson is done and Ryan is there now. Hereni is done too.
Ryan surpasses Cat, who is the last one there and eating.
Tyson arrives first back to Sally!
Drive to the pPit Stop - the Pena Palace over the town of Sintra!
Fantastic Pit Stop choice! :hoot: :hoot:
-
Carla & Hereni and Daniel & Ryan hot on the heels of Sally & Tyson. The girls think the bodybuilders went the wrong way.
The boys choose to follow the girls rather than the bodybuilders.
Cat finishes eating and discards her fish-lugging vest. :lol:
Everyone else is searching for Sintra Palace!
Carla & Hereni stop for instructions and the boys overtake..
Cat & Jesse are off towards the Pit Stop too.
-
Sally & Tyson miss a turn and get instructions too.
Ashleigh & Jarrod arrive at the Roadblock and Jarrod is performing after ripping the clue in half. :lol:
They know they're last and he's very frustrated.
-
Ashleigh's hoping for a NEL while she waits.
Jarrod drops a fish.
*commercials(
-
We are back!

Ashleigh's crying on the mat as they await their fate.
I have to tell you that you are the last team to check in... and luckily for you, this is a pre-determined non-elimination round!
Ashleigh & Jarrod are saved!
Pit Stop Results:

Next time... FLY TO DUBROVNIK, CROATIA!
Emotions run high...
As the Aussies go out on a limb.
And team Kiwi face their biggest fears!
While a bombshell at the Pit Stop will shock them all! :o
-
The Dubrovnik tasks involved heights - looks like potentially the TAR12 Detour or at least one side of it!
Teams were also carrying large rocks like the TAR12 Roadblock in some shape or form!
Can't wait for Dubrovnik next week - my favourite city I've ever seen on TAR <3 :conf:
Pit Stop Results:
1st - Daniel & Ryan
2nd - Carla & Hereni
3rd - Cat & Jesse
4th - Sally & Tyson
5th - Ashleigh & Jarrod (NEL)
-
Awesome! Thanks for the updates, can't wait to see it!! :hearts:
-
And all of a sudden it's morning and they get on the No 8 tram to the plaza that looks like TAR23
I was gonna say.
Maybe be Miles detour (measure the distance using giant compass) on TAR23 I think. ???
-
Drive to the Pit Stop - the Pena Palace over the town of Sintra!
Fantastic Pit Stop choice! :hoot: :hoot:
The Pena Palace pit stop is about 20 minutes distance to Castelo dos Mouros (Castle of the Moors), the pit stop of Leg 3 TAR23. :hearts:
-
Tyson and his restroom break :o :o :o :o TAR US 14 all over again Kisha/Jen
-
s9 detour again
-
Cat & Jesse in the Top 3 <3
Ashleigh & Jarrod being NEL'd </3
-
Really good episode! The NZ teams did good,but I just wanted one of them to win! :gaah:
I'm happy to see Cat & Jesse come in the Top 3 for the first time! They're so lovable! :hearts:
To bad Ashleigh & Jarrod got NEL...Jarrod's attitude is funny sometimes (when he's struggling),but he's annoying as hell.
HOWEVER,I could see on the final seconds of the preview Cat and Sally at the Pit Stop celebrating,while Ashleigh was close to them with a sad face. Is it a sigh of things to come?
PS: There's no more NEL,so we don't have to worry about that anymore.
-
Beautiful episode! Cat & Jesse and Sally & Tyson are so lovable! I cannot wait to see what the pit stop shock is :O :O
-
Jarrod reminded me so much of Karl Pilkington in this leg...
-
s9 detour again
which detour? ???
-
s9 detour again
which detour? ???
Slicey laundry
-
Does the Aussie Version feature the same Fado-singing girl as the one in the Season 23? They kinda look alike! Hot Portuguese lad(y/ies)! :-[ :-[ :-[ :luvya::luvya: :luvya:

I'm not sure whether the pit stop greeter on this leg is the same person on the judge at Miles Detour (TAR23 Portugal Leg)
-
I think the Fado-singing girl's name is Cuca Roseta. I think that her nose is the matching point here:
(http://www.iol.pt/multimedia/oratvi/multimedia/imagem/id/13858219/)
compare to these:
(http://i60.[banned image hosting site].com/2e699ip.jpg)
(http://i58.[banned image hosting site].com/x23o8x.jpg)
Here's also a video of her singing the EXACT same song that teams had to sing. The title of the song is Fado do Cansaço.
Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuYLil5mDSY
Correct me if I'm wrong. :)
-
It just aired over in NZ and my dad only had one thing to say about Jarrod at roadblock "He's an idiot" xD
-
