Off and running! Previously on TAR Aus vs NZ, for the first  time two nations went head to head and battle lines were drawn!

There were highs and lows, but John & Murray won on home turf! *two EPs*

A simple mistake cost Aussies Inga & Tiharna dearly.

4 Aus & 5 NZ remain! Who will be eliminated next?

John & Murray arrived first and should be first to depart, but have failed to arrive at the Pit Start on time, they overslept!

Carla & Hereni depart first at 2:22am!

One of the nurses had been to Cambodia first.

John & Murray are up an HOUR late. They will depart 5th!  :groan:

3:22am they depart, an hour behind Carla & Hereni. Apparently it was a strategy of oversleeping since everyone's gonna wait at that airport!
.
The rest of the pack departs and everyone is off to the airport.

Aston & Christie are struggling with sleep deprivation already.

Everyone at the airport thinks John & Murray are here to win at all costs and the nurses comment that they are very arrogant.

Two flights via Sydney & Melbourne to Siem Reap arriving at the same time!

We are in Cambodia! Off to the Old Market of Siem Reap.

They will sample "seven Cambodian delicacies" - i.e. 7 tarantulas. :lol: :funny:

Elizabeth & Todd and Ashleigh & Jarrod also arrive and are eating.

John & Murray are done in 3rd!

Emily & Jono, Daniel & Ryan and Carla & Herei are out in 5-7. Cat & Jesse leave 8th, Aston & Christie are sill MIA.

They finally arrive and are scared of spiders... they don't even want to touch the plate. :lol:

Ashleigh & Jarrod appear lost in their tuktuk.

Emily & Jono have gone all the way to Angkor Wat without buying a ticket back at where they were supposed to buy them.

Aston & Christie start eating.

They are finally done and out of there.

Emily & Jono: "Purchase a ticket at the ticket information booth."

John & Murray arrive at the Information Centre first - doesn't open until 8am the next morning!

But John & Murray race off in a tuktuk to leave Elizabeth & Todd thinking that they got in before it closed! :lol: They are doing their "psychological warfare".

We are back!

More scenes of John & Murray racing off leaving the mother/son in despair.

Daniel & Ryan arrive and they realise there is no way that the boys arrived before it closed.

All the teams arrive one by one. Emily & JOno finally arrive back to the ticket centre and are relieved that they are equalised.

8am

Everyone gets tickets and pedometers to count steps. Jesse: "If they were close to matching, they could win a bonus." Not too sure what this is all about.

Aston & Christie say that Elizabeth is a dirty player - she was telling their driver something I think.

Sally & Tyson arrive first at Angkor Wat. Elizabeth & Todd are walking along and being overtaken.

Everyone is racing and Emily takes a fall. Cat & Jesse stop to help her up. <3 :hrt:

Cat: You don't want to see a Kiwi team hurt.

Sally & Tyson get to the Roadblock in first place!

Who is the zen master?

They must count the number of monks wearing yellow and red prayer beads before getting a blessing and climbing the stairs. They must pick which monk to tell their answer too but onto 1 of the 2 monks will give them a clue, the other will trick them ???

Ash & Jarrod arrive 2nd at the task, Daniel & Ryan are 3rd.

Sally and Ashleigh are performing the Roadblock for there teams, as is Ryan.

The monks are walking around making it the whole way.

Tyson, Jarrod and Daniel make a Final 3 pact. :lol:

Jarrod: We're sick of the Kiwis winning everything.

Ashleigh goes up with an answer and she is wrong. She goes down.

Elizabeth & Todd arrive 4th. Cat & Jesse and Emily & Jono are 5th and 6th meaning all Aus teams are ahead this time!

Aston & Christie and John & Murray arrived 7th and 8th.

John & Murray contemplate an EP use. Elizabeth is doing the Roadblock.

Sally, Ashleigh and Ryan start discussing answers and ruling out possibilities and working together.

The problem is that they are all telling answers to a different monk so I'm not sure how methodical this is! :lol:

John & Murray run up the stairs together without counting. They hand over the Express Pass to skip it.

Ryan: I would think people would use the EP to do a task that they physically cannot do.

Travel by tuktuk to Tjoup Snae Restaurant and take a reading from their step counters to receive their next clue!

The EP users race off in the lead. More "psychological warfare".
Carla & Hereni are still searching for the RB clue.

Aston is meditating while Christie tries the task.

Ashleigh counted 22 monks and is feeling sure. Elizabeth blocks her off on the stairs Monica Culpepper style.

Cat & Jesse are now sharing with some teams.

Jono is trying to fish for information from many teams. Jono: "I thought we've got to be a lot higher than we're doing."

He guesses 26! He is done!

Jono gives the answer to Christie!

Emily & Jono are out in 1st. Emily's not so happy he gave her the answer.

Jesse was not happy that they helped them when she fell, worked together and then they ditched them without telling them the answer.

John & Murray are a little lost seemingly.

Aston & Christie leave in 3rd place behind Emily & Jono.

Emily: Why did you tell them?
Jono: Because they're not a threat.

John & Murray arrive at the restuarant. There is a prize for whoever stayed closest.

DETOUR: Shrimp or Shoot.

Grant: In Shrimp, teams must harvest shrimp from traps around the freshwater lake for 750 grams.

In Shoot, they must go to the pool tables in the floating village to adjust a table and then sink 5 shots.

Levelling the table using pieces of wood is not so easy. John & Murray are frustrated - John wants to go to the Shrimp.

We are back.

John & Murray stay at the Shoot.

Ashleigh goes up with the correct answer but gives it to the wrong monk. Jesse says the answer to the right monk.

All teams get it off of that and they basically all leave together! Five or six way tie for last at the moment! :lol:

John & Murray get the table level and start to shoot! Emily & Jono are collecting their Shrimp.

Ashleigh: The mother and son have got no friends now. People have showed their true colours.

Daniel is trying to run in the tuktuk to increase the pedometers, as is Jesse, but little do they know it needs to be matching! :lol:

John & Murray sink five shots! They are done!

And we are back!

Emily & Jono are looking for their Angkor Wat tickets - they cannot find them so they have to go buy new ones.

John & Murray are in the clear to run to the mat! John & Murray arrive first!

Welcome to Cambodia!

John & Murray you are the first team but I can't check you in. Did you settle your bill with your tuktuk driver?

No we didn't.

You have to settle all transactions before checking in!

Emily & Jono race ahead as John & Murray go back!

Grant: Emily & Jono, you have settled all your bills, you are the first team to Pit!

They won $10,000 Virgin Australia vouchers and Platinum upgrade stuff or something all for Virgin Australia!

Cat/jEsse, Daniel/Ryan, Aston/Christie and Sally/Tyson at the Shoot.

John & Murray check in 2nd!

1st - Emily & Jono
2nd - John & Murray

Ashleigh wants to play pool since they have a table at home. They have a mini argument about the Detour on their boat.

Daniel & Ryan successfully balance the table and start playing pool... if that abysmal shot counts as playing pool.

Aston doesn't realise she needs to hit the white ball! :lol:

Daniel & Ryan are out in 3rd place.

Everyone plays pool and they are done.

Cat & Jesse, Sally & Tyson and Aston & Christie leave 4th, 5th and 6th respectively.

Daniel & Ryan check in 3rd!

1st - Emily & Jono
2nd - John & Murray
3rd - Daniel & Ryan

Daniel & Ryan won the step=counter things!

They won a 30-minute time advantage to start the next leg!

Ashleigh & Ryan fail the Shrimp and want to go to the pool.

Cat & Jesse are emotional seeing kids and thinking of their own.

Elizabeth & Todd are trying to get the Shrimp, as are Carla & Hereni.

Only Carla & Hereni and Elizabeth & Todd remain at the Shrimp with the latter calling "medic!" while Ashleigh & Jarrod seemed to be switching over to Shoot.

Aston & Christie, Cat & Jesse and Sally & Tyson are en-route to the Pit Stop. :)

We are back.

Elizabeth has smashed part of her arm and they go to a medic boat. She banged her arm on the side of the boat.

Carla & Hereni believe they are last and are trying to finish. Their boat is taking up water so they leave for Shoot as well.

Ashleigh & Jarrod breeze through Shoot and leave in 7th.

Carla & Hereni start shooting pool. Elizabeth & Todd head over there also after checking her arm. It's a battle between these two for last!

Carla & Hereni adjust the table correctly. Elizabeth & Todd are struggling!

Carla & Hereni have won! They check in 8th!

Elizabeth & Todd are the last team to arrive and have been eliminated from the race.

Second Australian team bites the dust - bye I really hated you guys, cya later. :)

1st - Emily & Jono
2nd - John & Murray
3rd - Daniel & Ryan
4th - Sally & Tyson
5th - Cat & Jesse
6th - Aston & Christie
7th - Ashleigh & Jarrod
8th - Carla & Hereni
9th - Elizabeth & Todd (Eliminated)

Next time on the race, John & Murray aren't making any friends, even among their fellow Kiwis.

While Aston & Christie implode.

And the Aussies finally start getting their act together - clip of Sally & Tyson ascending a rock face similar to TAR10 in Vietnam.

There was also a U-Turn shown, but I didn't quite see who it was looking through the pictures - might have been John & Murray.

Wow, what a cool leg design! It felt like an improved version of TAR13's visit to Cambodia! If only the spiders were after the equalizer...

Overall I think that was a really good leg! A lot of drama, exciting tasks, some great places visited (Angkor Wat and the Baphuon Temple) and a really solid leg overall, plus I was happy with who went home :lol:

Much better than Leg 1 and it certainly raises my expectations a bit thankfully!

Excited about that U-Turn next week, plus Thailand looks beautiful.

Just watched the leg and I must agree with racer. Good tasks, drama and scenery. I didn't want that the episode end because of how entertaining it was.

Elizabeth & Todd  :'(

Some teams got to my nerves.

IDK but is Shrimp that hard? Some teams seems not to start do the task yet when other teams already finished the Shoot task.

Love this leg! It's been a while since Cambodia was visited (last time I watched was in TAR15) and this leg seems really interesting!

My impression and comments in this leg:
1. I don't like John & Murray's racing style. I hope they're U-Turned next leg. :res:
2. The Roadblock seemed pretty confusing. It makes you have to be lucky enough to choose the right monk.
3. Love Aston & Christie expressions when they're eating the tarantula! When they took the live one into the plate, it's priceless!
4. The Detour seemed pretty far between each other.

IDK but is Shrimp that hard? Some teams seems not to start do the task yet when other teams already finished the Shoot task.
I think the problem is shrimps are pretty rare in the location, so the boat had to take the teams to where they think had many shrimps underwater.

Exciting leg, and open to anyone to win. But that had to be one of the worst uses of the Express Pass. John and Murray seem to be easily flustered and not so cohesive as a team, they almost completely losted when they had problems at the Shoot detour. I hope they get eliminated quickly.

Finally got around to watching these 2 episodes. I'm glad to see I was not the only one who was not really feeling it for the 1st episode, as I found myself tuning out at times.

I thought the 2nd episode was an improvement, once teams from both countries no longer had the home field advantage. This was where the meat and potatoes of the race really begins, sort of speak.

It will take some getting used to Grant being his reserved self again with Aussie accent, after seeing him attempt an American accent for 1 season of "Defiance", and actually show a lot more emotion and literally kick some ass in that show. Speaking of which, time to change my avatar.  :)

So happy to see John & Murray not win the leg. I have no problem with them being the lone wolf of the race, but the way they just gave up on the Roadblock without trying it, just really rubbed me the wrong way. Now, they have that other Express Pass to give away. Next leg should tell if they are all bark, and hardly any bite.

Have to give credit to the feisty friends, afraid of the spiders, but still going through the challenge. Even after picking up a live one by mistake.

Nice to see Cambodia, and Angkor Wat. I am actually thinking visiting there later this year.

So far, the only team that I like, are the nurses and the moms. And I am starting not to like John & Murray, and I guess Ashleigh & Jarrod are going to be the villains of this season. Everyone else, it's still too early to tell.

I haven't seen nothing here about one thing - what about the "nations war"? Did it end after the Tug Of War or will we have some other challenges which will be performed as a nation? I guess the roadblock in Cambodia was designed a little bit that way -  it would be a much easier task if they would cooperate.

I don't think that they would, because the producers had no idea of how many teams from each country would be left at each leg of the race. If they wanted to make things equal between the teams, the only way they could reliably do so was on the first leg.

It was a solid episode and I loved it. The tasks were good and the locations were great! I hated the equalizers, but the tasks made up for it! <3

I agree with everyone that the boys made a mistake with the Express Pass. Really dumb IMO and they still didn't get 1st lol

So sad to Elizabeth and Todd go. :( I liked them. :(

And lol Aston and Christine are great <333333 my faves <33333

While I do agree that the EP choice wasn't smart but it wasn't as dumb if the EP didn't have to be used so early.

The EP was dumb and John and Murray are getting on my nerves.

Freaking happy the moms got to stay over the mom and son. The son can be REALLY rude at times but I think that does not affect their relationship.

Emily and Jono.. don't really like them much and my impression changed for the male nurses. Absolutely endearing and good natured.

Cat and Jesse = <333 UNDERDOGS

The body building team can be really nice as well :)

That aside, the Roadblock is exactly what makes TAR Aussie so much better to watch than the US version. Really complicating yet straight to the point task, the Detour was a mixture of skill and labour (of course I thought it was quite obvious which was easier).

IMO, a very good episode helped by the fact that team's positions CHANGED the whole way and Emily and Jono randomly came in first.
