Thank you Doremon and  :welcome2: to RFF!

I was thinking the phở making would be ridiculously easy, but I suppose the challenge is in finding the shops with the ingredients and taking them back to the food stand. I'd still likely choose this over the human chess (if that's the other side of the detour). Unless it has 15 ingredients like Kamineko's version.  :whoa

Well, it's not MY version, I just took it from other website. :lol:

Anyway, I think that maybe some shops have more than one ingredient to be taken. Maybe they collect all the herbs from one shop, and then find the chicken in other shop, and so on. However, in the website, it said that the cooking time is 3 hours (which is too long, imo). So, maybe some of the ingredients are already given (the broth, for example), so they just find all the ingredients, go back to the stand, put all of them to the bowl, and pour the broth? :)

THERE IS NO WAY that D and C could do this:

"Your Tan is Totally Cool--At the Detour Decision Point, Roller Derby moms Beth (left) and Mona (right) must perform the Mua Sapa, the Vietnamese bamboo dance, in order to receive the next clue on, THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, March 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

"Hiền tài là nguyên khí quốc gia" can be translated as "The talents are national resources".

For Phở Gà challenge, I think they have a list of ingredient (in Vietnamese) and they must find all of them in many different streets. Actually, you can get lost in Hanoi because in that area of Hanoi, the names of streets are very confusing for foreigner (most of streets start with "Hàng" sush as Hàng Đào, Hàng Gà, Hàng Bạc... Also, they must serve Phở Gà to some customers, maybe.

Actually, it's Múa Sạp, not Mua Sapa (Sapa is a famous sightseeing city in the north of Vietnam). It's very easy dance routines. You only need to do with rhythm.

I have heard from some Vietnamese friends that in Hanoi there are streets called Fish Street, Beans Street, etc because fish or beans or whatever was sold there. Maybe this would tie into the Pho Detour?

Yes, it's true but only in the past. Like Hàng Gà - Chicken Street, in the past, all the streets sold chicken but now, they don't.

"Your Tan is Totally Cool--In this Road Block, Married couple Wynona (left) and Chuck (right) must search through hundreds of posters to find one with the quote "Glory to the Younger Generation" in order to receive the next clue on, THE AMAZING RACE, Sunday, March 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

For this task, as I see, all the poster have the phrase "Vinh quang thay thế hệ thanh niên chúng ta" ("Glory to the younger generation". So I think most of poster will have typo. They must remember exactly the words in flowers to find the right one.

Mua Sap challenge takes place in Công viên Thống Nhất (Thong Nhat Park). I can't find a photo of that place but I found this photo. It is the yellow part behind Derby Moms.

One more thing, checking mat for this leg is the same place which was used as checking mat for The Amazing race Vietnam 1 leg 1.

I found Joey & Meghan video interview here http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=8399731  in this video (01:50) they are talking about hunting scorpions, which is one of the challenges in Botswana. It means they are safe in Vietnam

It's an elimination leg, but considering Dave/Connor quit and surely will be eliminated, the 7 remaining teams will be safe through this leg.

So maybe Dave & Conner will be first for three times in a row. They satisfied and decided to quit.

There's no way Dave could do bamboo dance. I think they just hit the pitstop to be eliminated.

the "crushing" news might be a reference to Dave's worsening feet, I guess? :lol:

It could be the RI given after completing the RB.
