AMAZING RACE ASIA COMMENTARY
apskip:
I am not quite finished seeing episode 7, with one more segment to go. However, I have several obvservations:
1. Terri is back to her old tricks. Her passive-aggressive behavior while she was doing the Roadblock was particularly destructive.
2. Ann complained about her team's navigation skills. That applies to every team still in this competition. Don't they ever try to read maps and use their own navigational skills? The use of ferns and leading taxis is now prevelant for at least the last part of the trip from Busan to Seoul.
3. Why was everyone doing the Roadblock trying to keep papers and the Roadblock card in their hand? Couldn't they see that this was only going to show down their ability to grasp both sides of the lids and lift up?
4. Ultimately, it looks like every team gets the final placement they deserve. Marc and Rovilson get lucky once again with a fern to lead them to Olympic Park after they are already in the vicinity of Olympic Stadium, supposedly a few kilometers away.
5. The destructive behavior of Pamela after Vanessa made a driving mistake was ridiculous. However, Vanessa was not listening to her and would not get a U-turn ASAP, which clearly cost them major in arriving at the Folk Village and lost them at least one position from the 3rd they were in when this incident started.
TARAsia Fan:
That last segment is now up, apskip.

Right you are, TARAsia Fan. Now that I have seen what I had heard about with Henry and Terri far behind the other teams, it looks to me that they are about 1.5 to 2 hours behind Pamela/Vanessa, Ann/Diane and Natasha/Paula. It looked like there was an element of unfairness in them not getting the Marked for Elmination 30 minute penalty on the next leg. If Monica/Edwin got it, why not Henry/Terri?The money is easy to replace by begging in a modern relatively rich city like Seoul. I think Michael McKay just decided to help kept Henry/Terri in the race as long as possible because they are easily the most colorful team. The sisters, Ann/Diane, and Natasha/Paula are all vanilla. The only team remotely as interesting as Henry/Terri is Collin/Adrian who don't seem to get much air time.
The next leg to Frankfurt is certain to have long flights so that there will be a bunching on arrival. If the luck of Marc/Rovilson turns sour, which is long overdue, we could be rid of them in the string of tasks after the Frankfurt airport.

Unless there's a task that involves luck, :res: we will most likely see Marc and Rovilson get eliminated.

I can't get into this show! :(
I tried watching it today but it just seems so ... student made (that's a crappy way of describing it)? It doesn't have the quality of the American TAR -- I like a lot of the teams though.
