TARA 4 EP 7 Episode and EP 8 Show Discussion (Australia) **SPOILERS**

--- Quote ---...they had to pick up campervans @ QT airport and get their next clue from QT events centre.
On Monday they did something at coronet peak and then had a goal kicking/rugby challenge with some All Blacks and children before finishing up with a pitstop. Unsure if this was an elimination stop but 6 teams started Tuesday, they had to do a sheep mustering challenge and something else, then post a letter at the post office to get their next clue to head to the airport and onto Sydney.
...I believe there was only a 30min gap between all the teams arrivals in Sydney) .Once they arrived at Sydney they had to find Circular Quay & find a man with a brolly for their next clue, thats as far as I know...
1st team was a couple of American (i think) dudes, the chicks in 2nd, a well spoken Asian couple was 3rd, only caught a glimpse of 4th & 5th but last place was two Asian girls who seemed to be struggling and didn't seem to be great with English. I also know the team that came into town 5th had some troubles, drove the wrong way down the main street, got stuck panic'd etc and ended up trying to do a u-turn on the main street and had to get help from a local to get the campervan off the main street, so they were penalized for allowing someone else to drive their car as well as for breaking the law by driving down the main street so they would have been struggling to stay in it.

This is the post I was referring to. I think this hasn't happened. We haven't seen penalties for the 5th team (pardon me, it's not the last team who was penalized, but rather, the 5th team).

I really loved this leg. First, I was laughing at the teams ski (or attempt to). Ethan and Khairie and Sunaina and Dimple were so funny doing it! Then there was the sheep Detour... I couldn't stop laughing when Ethan actually said to the sheep, "You, come here!" LOL!!!
Three cheers for Jess and Lani! They did so well this leg and I'm really happy for them. They started the race at the back of the pack, slowly got the hang of it, and led this leg. I just really love their positive energy on the race, how they're always so happy and excited about everything. They remind me of Brook and Claire, just not as competitive. The only bummer for this leg was that it was a TBC. I would really have loved to see Jess and Lani win a leg... =( But I saw the TBC coming, when the episode was ending yet teams weren't shown checking in yet. Oh well... I hope that Jess and Lani will have their turn at first place for real!
I'm not sure I'm liking Ethan and Khairie too much now. Perhaps Sunaina and Dimple are not getting along well with the other teams. But the former didn't have to laugh at them crashing into the pole at the ski task. Hmm. I don't know, but Ethan and Khairie seem to be getting the Nick and Starr edit. They have their sneaky, evil ways, but are still really popular. I still think they'll win but seeing that they're so evil, I'd rather have the Richards win. Yes, these guys are competitive and could make the show boring by winning many legs. But at least they're doing their own thing and haven't really done anything annoying or evil. Just my two cents' worth.
I must say that this was an exciting leg though. The 4 teams trailing were all so close to one another. The TBC saved Hussein and Natasha, otherwise they'd have been eliminated straightaway. I must say, the Roadblock's really hard. It's like the one in TAR 8. Kudos to everyone who did it! Hee.
Jess and Lani, Michelle and Claire for first place soon!

I must say that I somehow agree with your observations. I am starting to get annoyed at the Malaysin team. The Nick & Starr "evil" edit for me goes more to Jess and Lani, in the sense that their comments about the other teams are ruthless, albeit being hilarious at the same time. They seem to say honestly what they think of other groups.
As for Ethan and Khairie, I have this inkling that they might just not make it to the finals, with Michelle and Claire taking their spot instead.
Would we see another intersection this leg (as seen with the photos of Team Malaysia and Team Singapore working together? Or is this just a case of two teams helping each other out?

I'm just rooting for Michelle and Claire. Singapore all-female teams made it 7th and 4th place in 1st and 3rd season. Michelle and Claire needs to make it to top 3!! :lol: :hearts:

Even though I'm from the Philippines I'm also rooting for Michelle & Claire, I have a knack on supporting very young teams. Obviously I'm also rooting for The Richards and Jess & Lani! With the 2 Hour Lead I hope those 2 teams keep their lead. Do you think the bug eating task is a roadblock? because I guess not because I think the roadblock is the car driving thingy..
