Nope, glad they improved the musical element.

Anita & Tom were such a strong team. :torche This was just not their leg.

Fun fact: Tom & Anita never landed on an odd-numbered placement. :ascared

Next task looks tough, and I see one of my task ideas in there. :o

Remember what I said about Thailand being the best leg in YEARS?

That leg is now this leg. Just... magical. Absolutely magical.

This season <3

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ONE AWESOMELY AMAZINGLY INCREDIBLY FUN AND EXCITING LEG!!!!!

There was so much to this! We have an ARI which is an outreach to the less privileged. There may have been a HoO like the other leg with 8 teams (which one was that again? ??? :lol: ), but this leg is still awesome!

Moving on, the roadblock may have been recycled like I said earlier, but it was challenging enough to shuffle placements, failing to be boring and linear. The detour was so fun so watch! The longganisa-making in a kalesa was nice, and much better than the longganisa task in TARP1. On the other hand, the karaoke task on a carabao was so cool! :funny: It was so fun watching the teams trying to sing in Ilocano. That song choice was so entertaining! :funny:

The U-turn news was making me excited. Even though it wasn't used, there was enough placement shuffling to make up for it. :wohoo: JK & Mike the underdogs finally won a leg, and strong teams like Trez & Lou and Tom & Anita fell behind.

Imho, this is the BEST leg TAR (including all) has ever made in the Philippines! It is better than any TARP leg I have seen. There were fun and entertaining moments, difficult tasks, culturally-related tasks, placement shufflings, and plot twists.

I'll comment on teams later once I calm down a bit. :lol:

P.S. I would love to see that detour again in any TAR version! Bonus points if the U-turn will be available too.

You know I find it funny tha after the 6th leg that at least three teams, Louisa and Treasuri, JK and Mike, and Yvonne and Chloe had leg wins. Meanwhile, the Philippine Teams have none, yet we still have 2 representatives left in the race.  :ascared

Is this some sort of sign?  :grins:

Like what Maggie said before, it doesnt matter what place you are as long as you're not last. The final leg only matters.

Well, that's definitely some irony and coincidence. :ascared

I can't remember every detail now. :lol:

Eric & Rona and Parul & Maggie were really fun to watch in this episode. I won't go into detail since I can't remember every fun moment, but I do remember seeing Eric & Rona on the Cashcab PH episode right before TARA5. It's interesting to see how Parul & Maggie were intimidated by the Ilokano version of Tatlong Bibe to the point that they switched, wherein the other teams stayed in the said detour, but it's also interesting to learn how one of them has nursing experience and that the longganisa detour was better for them.

I like how Trez & Lou are strategic with the roadblock at one point. They may have led 1st from there, but the difficult detour almost got them kicked out of the race, which I now realize is quite shocking since I thought that time that the leg would be a NEL. :o

Meanwhile, Tom & Anita are a strong team too, but I guess it was just not their leg. :torche Still, they could've caught up after the HoO and during the roadblock, yet they failed to do so. This isn't the first time I wished a strong team like them could've at least won a leg, but with minimal amount of leg prizes, I guess it doesn't matter here. :(

On the other hand, JK & Mike proved themselves to be more than just a team that stays in the bottom.  :hoot: They now remind me of TAR16's Louie & Michael. At the bottom for a couple of legs, nearly dodging elimination, and then suddenly landing themselves a win. Meanwhile, Yvonne & Chloe may be an all-female team, but they are the only 1 among the 3 Malaysians teams remaining. This team really proved themselves to be strong. :hoot:

3 FF teams at the F5! :ascared That's amazing! I wish TAR US can have that too. I'm predicting that the next leg will be a NEL. Also, I can't believe I am not checking spoilers until now. :lol: Based on thread titles and past early reveals, it seems like TARA is spilling too much this season, which I'm not really sure if it's good or bad. :funny:

Placement facts so far:
~Tom & Anita only have even-numbered pit stop placements, and since we won't see them anymore next episode, this record is somewhat cool, imo. :lol:
~Treasuri & Louisa's lowest placement was on this leg.
~Eric & Rona have their 4th 4th place finish until this leg.
~Parul & Maggie got a repeat placement for the 1st time, with 3rd place on the legs with a Yield or a U-turn.
~Same goes for Yvonne & Chloe for their 2nd 2nd place finish after the past 2 legs. :nut:
~This one is not a placement fact, but after looking carefully at the result table in Wikipedia, Leg 4 had a Yield, Leg 5 had a Fast Forward, and Leg 6 had a U-turn. All of which were unsuccessfully used. :o

I'll add this too for fun.
