Previously on The Amazing Race Asia...

Five teams continued through the city of Singapore.

At the first task, Yvonne & Chloe took the lead. But it didn't take long for JK & Mike to catch up!

All teams found the clue but married Filipino couple Eric & Rona struggled.

At the Detour, some teams found themselves off-balance while JK & Mike managed to get a perfect leg and hit first on home ground!

Despite being lost, Eric & Rona were last and were found.

Five teams remain, who will be eliminated next?

We're in Singapore.

It's night.

JK & Mike depart first!

Route Info: Make your way to Yogyakart, Indonesia! Once there, teams must make their way to Goa Jamblang (aka Jamblang Cave) to receive your next clue. NOTE: The first team to hit the airline desk will get access to Garuda Indonesia's Premium Lounge.

Yvonne & Chloe depart.

They say that they get stressed but they need to stay calm and not lose focus.

All other teams depart.

JK & Mike arrive at the airport first and raffle the lounge trip! They end up giving it to Eric & Rona :lol: <3

Eric & Rona are thankful.

All teams depart for Yogyakarta now!

In Jakarta, Eric & Rona enjoy the lounge (it's a connection) to Yogyakarta.

Teams are now in Yogyakarta!

Treasuri & Louisa try to get one taxi and JK is pissed that she's trying to get ahead and calls her a bitch :lol:

Treasuri & Louisa get out first. All other teams close behind.

In their cab, Treasuri is frustrated at JK & Mike being pissed off.

JK & Mike are fuming: "We want to beat Treasuri & Louisa. I'm never talking to Treasuri ever again."

Eric & Rona are on the way to their Speed Bump, which involves drinking a herbal drink named Jamu blind and then identifying the ingredients used to be allowed to continue racing.

Eric & Rona arrive and drink. Rona says that it's bitter. They drink their first shot and then identify the right ingredient!

They're done with the Speed Bump.

Meanwhile, Treasuri & Louisa say that they need to stay ahead of the strong Philippine teams. Parul & Maggie say that getting Treasuri & Louisa out with Eric & Rona was a deal.

Treasuri & Louisa arrive at the task first and it's a Roadblock! Who's ready to walk the line?

RB: One team member must traverse over a 100 meter tightrope and then climb a 10-meter ladder to get their clue. If they drop their clue, they must try again or receive a 2-hour penalty.

All other teams but Eric & Rona arrive. Treasuri/JK/Parul/Chloe? doing it.

Treasuri begins to walk. JK begins to walk. "**** ITS TIRING" JK :lol: <3

Treasuri arrives on her ladder. JK says Treasuri is too heavy and then yells at Treasuri and they argue omg :lol: <3

"OH **** **** ME" JK is melting down while on a tightrope :lol: <3

JK wants to make a deal about Treasuri waiting for him to do the RB and they begin fighting OMG :lol: <3

Treasuri begins climbing as Eric & Rona arrive. Eric is doing it.

Treasuri goes up while Louisa chants "GO TRES GO LOUISA TRES LOUISA CHAMPIONS" <3

They get the clue first!

Route Info: Make your way to Prambatan Temple to receive your next clue.

JK & Mike with the lounge. :hrt:

I hope Trez & Lou is not winning because of home country advantage, because there's 2 more legs of Indonesia. :res: I hope TARA won't get this kind of sponsor/budget issue again, but since we're stuck with Indonesia for the rest of the race, I hope these last few legs will deliver.

Speedbump seems fast and easy, just bitter; a good enough Speedbump. The roadblock seems tough, but I think I've seen the task before. ??? Still a challenge, so it's okay, I guess.

We're back.

JK falls and Parul panics because the rope shakes. Parul however, keeps her balance.

JK decides to quit and take the 2-hour penalty.

Parul gets her clue and begins shaking. Maggie tells her to "SHAKE IT OFF".

Chloe begins to walk. Parul finishes the task in 2nd! Parul says that she felt sad about JK.

Treasuri & Louisa arrive at the temple!

Roadblock: Who recognizes Divine Order? No rule about performer. Treasuri does it!

RB: Teams must memorise names and positions of all the Hindu Deities in the temple and then match everything to get your clue.

Treasuri begins doing the task. "PROBABLY THEY THINK IM A MAD LADY TALKING TO MYSELF" <3

At the first Roadblock, Yvonne is walking and is intimidated because Eric is heavy. Yvonne finishes the task in 3rd though!

JK & Mike contemplate quitting and taking the penalty but JK eventually decides to do it and not quit.

At the second RB, Treasuri & Louisa get it on their first try! :o

Route Info: Both team members must shoot two arrows on a hanging target to receive their next clue.

Eric & Rona finally finishes the first RB in 4th. JK finally decides to try again.

Parul & Maggie arrives at the second RB and Parul does it.

Parul says that she is Hindu so the task is right up her alley. She's lost however, and can't see some of the deities.

At the archery task, Treasuri & Louisa try to shoot and they keep missing.

At the first RB, JK finally finishes it! Mike says that he's trying his hardest and this is the proudest he's ever been of him. They're out of the first RB in last! He's crying but he's happy to have finished it.

At the second RB, Parul finds more deities as Yvonne & Chloe and Eric & Rona arrive. Rona is doing it. Chloe is doing it.

Parul & Maggie ask for a check and they're wrong! :(

They have it checked again. They are still wrong!

On their third check, Parul & Maggie finish RB2 in second!

Yvonne & Chloe ask for a check twice. Wrong. Eric & Rona ask for a check. Wrong.

JK & Mike arrive and Mike does the RB.

Chloe is stumped. They're frustrated at the task. Yvonne tells her to calm down and focus.

Chloe asks for a switch of the board. :lol: <3

"When Chloe asks for a new board, that's when I knew she had lost her mind" :lol:

JK & Mike catching up. :hoot:

Eric & Rona catching up. :hoot:

Parul & Maggie remaining consistent so far. :yess: Hope they beat Trez & Lou. :lol:

The 2nd roadblock is difficult too, since it requires memory, and that's a lot to memorize. I didn't expect Parul being Hindu, so at least she had some kind of advantage.

Archery task is okay. I still appreciate TARA having ARIs every leg. :hrt:

The last task seems like a giveaway, especially after all the tough tasks that leg.

Trez & Lou's 1st 1st in Indonesia. :lol: I wonder if they're making it to he Top 3 next leg, because TAR can be unpredictable at times.

Eric & Rona making a comeback! :wohoo: Something Rach & Vicky failed to do after the speedbump. Eric & Rona passed one team each per task, except the last one. :hrt:

Just as I thought this season couldn't get any better... this leg happens.

Perfect tasks?
Drama EVERYWHERE?
One of the most tense races to the Pit Stop in YEARS?

Heavenly leg. An absolute euphoric leg.

The best double Roadblock AND Indonesian leg ever?

Just... wow.

This season is DEFINITELY the best season since TARAUS2 now. Just amazing. Just phenomenal.

That was so suspenseful! :o I thought JK & Mike had it. :torche Looking back at their past legs, it was awesome how they made it this far. They had legs where they were fighting for last, and there were legs they owned the leg. This was just the leg where their luck ran out. :( At least they made it far and won some legs.  :hoot:

I can hope for an all-female finale. :ascared Or, 2 Philippine teams racing the finale. :ascared I'm excited for next week I guess.  :hoot:
