Anita & Tom arrive first and see the clue box so far away. Yvonne & Chloe get the Roadblock clue!

RB: Who likes a good character?

Roadblock: In the first Roadblock of the Race, one teams must search through an ENTIRE tea plantation for an Indonesian puppet to exchange for their next clue.

Louisia & Treasuri miss the clue. Anita & Tom have to return. Only Yvonne & Chloe are at the Roadblock properly!

Chloe is doing the Roadblock. Chloe is confused.

Anita & Tom see the clue now and so do Treasuri & Louisa.

Chloe finds it! They're in first place!

Route Info: Make your way to the next Pit Stop (it's just there near the plantation :lol:) The last team to check in here MAY be eliminated!

Yvonne & Chloe are running to the Pit Stop! "I CAN SMELL ALLAN" :lol:

Yvonne & Chloe, YOU ARE TEAM NUMBER ONE!  :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

The prize wasn't announced if ever  :tantrum

They're happy to redeem themselves from their leg one performance.

Pit Stop already!? :gaah:

There's 30 minutes left I'm SURE there's another task :lol:

The "Pit Stop" wasn't shown too, just a clue box.

Allan's pre-commercial statement confused me. :lol: I blame editing too.

Yvonne & Chloe from almost-worst to 1st! :o

Well, I'm glad there's a roadblock. :lol: However, it was a poorly designed roadblock. They could've done better with the puppets.

JK is extremely lost at the Roadblock as Brandon & Alphaeus arrive.

It's them two fighting for elimination.

j/k, JK literally finds it now and they're done!

Brandon gets it too! :o

Potential foot-race to the Pit Stop!

JK & Mike are walking, Brandon & Alphaeus are running!

JK & Mike walk to the Pit Stop and check in as 8th Place!

Alphaeus & Brandon are the last team to arrive and they have both been eliminated from the Race.

They're sad to go from first to worst. They're happy to at least do it together.

"Good Race"
"No Regrets".

It's over!

I forgot to mention Yvonne & Chloe's leg prize. Either it was non-existent (budget!? (:;) ) or it was just not revealed (editing!? :groan: ).

Meanwhile, I did not see the smart kids' elimination coming. :o 1st to worst, the complete opposite of Yvonne & Chloe's. I didn't know the 9th place curse would stretch to TARA. :lol:

Some coincidences this leg:
~Yvonne & Chloe and Brandon & Alphaeus are at both ends of the placement spectrum during leg start and leg end, and they just switched places. Both teams are from Malaysia too.
~The 3 MM teams this season are the bottom 3 this leg.

Overall, the episode was good. There were a lot of placement switches, and the detour was good. There were amusing mistakes from teams, :lol: and also navigation drama. The roadblock was poorly designed though, and it was bordering linear. ??? At least there was a suspenseful footrace in the end. I was rooting for both teams, so oh well. :torche At least Brandon & Alphaeus won something from last leg. :lol:

JK & Mike on the preview though. :ascared Is there even any team I don't like? ???

Also NEL, when are you coming? :lol: Please don't let the budget push you too far. :(

The RB almost killed this leg overall, but i'm still satisfied, really better leg... Placement switches suprised me tough....

Fun fact:

Alpheus and Brandon is the first team that eliminated after departed first on the last leg in TARA franchise (am i right?)

A good karma I can find in this leg was that JK & Mike gave Louisa & Treasuri a hint, then they were barely spared elimination this leg.

I also find it ironic how 2 frontrunning teams were fighting for last this leg. :o

By the way, I checked spoilers months ago, but I don't remember anything from there. :lol: I never checked the timeline nor did I analyze any spoiler, so I am watching this season with no spoilers. :gnome

Asia's 9th place curse
Season 1 (Aubrey & Jacqueline) quit the RB
Season 2 (Brett & Kinaryosih) switch the detour, navigation lost
Season 3 (Isaac & William) took the later flight
Season 4 (Wendy & Alan) caught the very slow bus

this episode is way better than the first one. still, there are some flaws on editing, but I really enjoyed it!

tasks were good, though the Roadblock is too linear and I kinda hope they put the Pit Stop somewhere else, but all the drama that happens on this leg (e.g: navigational problem, fail to read clue, last two teams doing RB at the same time, etc) makes it more interesting to watch

we also got to see a huge comeback from yvonne/chloe goddesses  :luvya: rach/vick driving their bike like crazy :lol: parul/maggie (kinda) involved on an argument, rachel applies a bug spray while vicky doing RB <3 :lol: and JK/Mike bicker worse than a married couple. there are sooo many great moments there and I can't wait to see it more on the next episodes!  :conf:

I'm not exactly sure how they defined "search tea plantation for doll" as a Roadblock, but Maggie tweeted that it took her five minutes so maybe it was easier than the task made it look on TV?  :umn:

The RB being pretty easy would explain how the Roadblock arrival order basically remained the same after placements otherwise shifting all leg.
