Topic: TAR Vietnam Season 5 All-Star: SHOW Discussion

[G.B.]

Fun fact, Vung Tau was previously visited on the first season of HaMerotz LaMillion. It's one of only two locations that have been visited on TAR, but not TAR Vietnam. (The others are Cái Bè and Vac)

What a lovely blur shirt Thuy Dung was wearing this week!

Here's the help I need this week.
1. DETOUR! Where did each of the two Detours take place? How much salt needed? Also, do we know what kind of fish those were?
2. Did anyone catch the 2nd Roadblock prompt? (Ai Thich...?)
3. Did they say where the bamboo bridge was located?

[Quốc Nghĩa]

All about the numbers:

Roadblock 1: After 45 minutes, teams finish 1/3 of a bow will get 1 hour penalty, finish 2/3 will get 15 minutes penalty.

Detour:
- Salt: Long Sơn commune, Vũng Tàu city. They have to fill 5 wheelbarrows of salt.
- Fish: Mr. Lê Văn Ánh's house, hamlet 8, Long Sơn commune, Vũng Tàu city. They have to catch 3 giant mudskippers (thòi lòi).

Roadblock 2: Ai thích mạo hiểm?

Bamboo RI: Mr. Tâm's house, Gò Găng, hamlet 9, Long Sơn commune, Vũng Tàu city.

I think the second RB is: Ai thích khó khăn?

The South West of Vietnam has 13 provinces and they only visited twice in season 1 and 2 (Kiên Giang & Cà Mau). I hope there are some legs in this areas this season. I was suprised that they passed Hanoi this season, hope someday they will pass HCMC also.

There was also Dong Thap in Season 3

Those numbers must have been mistakenly copied from another version.

Apparently the only other country on the route is that they're going to Australia for the semi-final leg.

So 2 continents, 2 countries.

What was going on with the girls at the end of this leg? Why'd they walk back down the hill?

They told the taxi driver that they will pay money after the race which is forbidden. So they had to go back, ask the taxi driver to settle down every problem before check in.

[Quốc Nghĩa]

Special clue is FF, I think it's something new. 

[Quốc Nghĩa]

Most horrible Fast Forward of all time.   

[paradoxinee]

They want to have a love drama, you know

They want to have a love drama, you know 

And Pink love drama is more awful than FF task. 

Meanwhile, Huong Giang has just confirmed that she and Criss were broken up.

I hate how the producer exchange money for a chance to continue racing in this and the last season

According to the comments of Criss's status on Facebook, they broke up before the race started

[paradoxinee]

I have heard about their broke-up long time ago.

[Maanca]

Not being able to see this, just curious, what are Lincoln and Tien Dat like? They seem to be the team to beat, top 3 every leg.

Because TARVN tasks are very physical, they have advantage for being alpha-male team. Tien Dat is also very clever, experienced guy.

They exchange the race for 60 million or 150 million, Hương Giang can make the same ammount of money in a week or less.

That was weird... (Beautiful island though)

1. Roadblock prompt?
2. How many pearls to win? What's the 15 minute penalty for?
3. I'm guessing these Detour names are Vietnamese idioms too. "Snake Fish Snake Toad" doesn't make much sense, haha.
4. What's the point of standing on the block of ice? Lincoln got off, but nothing happened?
5. What did the blindfolded team member have to do at the temple?
6. How much is the exchange offer after the Fast Forward? (60 or 150?)
7. Did Brown team receive same penalty as Orange team? (I don't remember them using illegal transportation)

1. Mò kim đáy biển. (Vietnamese idiom = Find a needle in haystack)

2. 3 black pearls. Team members can collect how many clams they want each round, but they have to find 3 black pearls inside the clams after a round unless they have to take 15 minutes penalty to do the next round. Nhan Phuc Vinh collected 8 clams but only 2 black pearls in it so he got penalty.

3. Lóc ca lóc cóc = "Snake Fish Snake Toad" 
- Lóc ca lóc cóc= Knock knock (not quite right)
- Thời gian tan chảy = Melting time

4. Ice detour: 5 minutes on the ice block, 5 minutes off. 1 member has to do it over and over again until his/her partner find the key. Members who find the keys have to draw to choose random tools, which was the reason why Tiến Đạt and Thùy Dung got big spoons and Anh Tuấn got small one.

5. One member has to remember a poem with upbeat music and one member blindfolded (They don't explain why but I think this makes them not to see the body language and mouth of their partners).

6. 60 when Huy Khánh talked to Pink on the phone and 150 at the Pitstop.

Teaser ep 9: Australia

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/Obv1H0ga8IE" target="_blank" class="new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/Obv1H0ga8IE</a>

I think we only have 10 legs this year. I think it's supposed to be 11 legs but they canceled 1 because of airplane disaster.

[paradoxinee]

The leg cancelled might be NEL so it doesn't matter though.

[Maanca]

If Huong Giang & Criss win, they'll have quite a record to their name. TAR's first two-time winners.
