They were marked for elimination. Hopefully they won't be eliminated. I'd love to see the actors get U-Turned next week :wohoo:

I don't think the couple will be eliminated next week, I'm worried for the purple team
Show contentI heard some rumors say that the couple is the winner :conf: But rumors cannot be trusted, but who knows :)
So next week, maybe they will travel to Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan province. In teaser, I see they will row coracles, travel on a bullock cart, race motorcycles on the sand dunes, ...
Here is insider news that one of the professional travelers, “grand-aunt” Long (the guy with glasses), told us
--- Quote ---This episode (Ep 09) has a very interesting detail, that is
When we’re traveling from Nha Trang to Da Lat by bus at 8.00am, each of us just eat a Vietnamese pork sandwich which is sold in front of bus station at Nha Trang to appease our hunger. As a result, we totally feel belly- pinched at noon. However, because we are on the race, we all must evince that we are tough and strong to avoid the contempt of the other teams. Each team superciliously stares at the other teams and says something like “What? Hungry? Piece of cake!” The scene in which some guys spontaneously sing as you see on TV, it’s not because they enjoy life or the trip, but because they’re too hungry to sleep, so they sing to forget their hungers, and they all sing sad songs …
When the bus was nearly at Dalat, the driver is very understanding when he stops at a rest area for us, including the passengers to go pee pee … What? We are hungry, and now, have to pass water? Alright, whatever! A piss shot and we have nothing to store now. After “picking flowers,” (= having a piss) passengers’ faces are suffused with delight, but our faces become paler and paler. Becgie (he means Baggio) is naturally strong as an ox, “meaty” and “fatty”, but now, just because of starvation, he has to leave his pride to declare “I suggest when arriving to Da Lat, our teams take a break for having lunch and then race whatever race you want.” “Clap! Clap!” A ripple of applause runs through the racers.
Arriving to bus station at Dalat, I slowly get off the bus. Remembering my brother’s oath, the first thing I do is having a glance at any restaurants nearby. Suddenly, my old man, Mr Binh, pulls my arms. “Run! Run! They all run away!” I’m frightened looking around. Hmm … over there! The guys who enthusiastically voted for stopping the race to eat just a few minutes ago; now they’re leading all teams in skipping lunch to race. They’re running towards the cab as if they are chased by dogs. I also have to break my butt to run after them. So we run, run and run until night without having meals. From Nha Trang to Dalat with a loaf of bread …
I completely lose my trust in people!!!
