Coutzy's Commentaries on AusTAR 2! Episode 9 announcement.
Coutzy:
We're back.
Lucy (or Emilia) says she didn't see Paul intentionally do anything, the cheerleaders comment that it didn't come across well.
We're at a Roadblock: Teams must make their way to Hagia Sophia, which was originally built as a Christian Church, before being converted to a Muslim Mosque.
The chosen team member must memorise 8 symbols inside the mosque, then replace them correctly to receive their next clue.
Teams may only go back to the mosque once to check answers.
Paul is first to try inside the answer area, which is inundated with water, and teams have to wear boots to keep leeches away.
Sarah is recalling a little song in her head to help her.
Paul seems pretty confident as he goes through.
Grace's first try is wrong, so she's going back to rememorize.
Paul hopes he can live up to his bragging, and he's got it all correct which proves the old adage: It's not showing off if you back it up.
Teams must now make their way to the Pit Stop and are told on the clue "Do not delay"
Grant tells us in the footage that the last team may be eliminated, but I'm still calling a double leg.
Michelle and Jo are also finished. Paul is desperate for a first place finish, Michelle and Jo have found a sign to point them in the right direction.
Ad break.
Coutzy:
And we're back. Zuji gets a plug, but they couldn't find a flight I wanted last night.
Paul and Steve arrive first, and as winners of this leg, they've won an action packed trip to the Australian Rally Championship. They'll ride alongside Honda's team and have VIP access to the Pit.
Paul feels good about being U-Turned, and making a comeback from 6th to first, but more importantly aren't told to move on.
Michelle and Jo are checked in 2nd.
Ross doesn't even get close.
Sticky has about half his done.
Andrew is wrong.
Sarah is still chanting as she works through.
Grace is 100% sure on her second effort, and she and Sam are correct, they'll move in 3rd and 4th.
Andrew is correct on his 2nd effort, they're off in 5th.
Ross is even more wrong on his second try, and Lucy is wrong too. Sarah has 3 wrong on her first try.
Sticky and Sam have outran GraJo easily for 3rd spot, GraJo in 4th.
The Cops job in for 5th.
Lucy tries again for no result.
Ross is getting even further away from the result and is telling Tarryn that he can't do it.
We get an ad break as these two ponder the penalty.
Coutzy:
We're back.
Sarah is wrong. James knows his penalty strategy and suggests that Sarah take a penalty now, believing that Ross or Lucy will also take one.
Sarah has declared her intention to take the penalty and they've taken their clue.
Lucy has got it right and they're off to the Pit Stop.
Hunners Chick hits the mat, and their penalty time starts.
Ross is still struggling and nowhere near it. He chooses the four hour penalty waaaaaaay too late for my liking.
Lucy and Emilia come in for a record finish of 2 places above last, well over their customary 1 place above last.
Ross and Tarryn reach the mat and James and Sarah look horrified.
Sarah's face screams relief as Grant informs Footballer's Daughters of their penalty. They're checked in 7th place.
Ross and Tarryn hit 8th place, but it's a pre-determined non elimination round, so they'll be Marked for Elimination the next leg.
Next time the teams are getting steamy on the most surprising leg yet, one false step could cost one team everything. At this point, we see Michelle (or Jo) struggling to breathe.
Coutzy:
Awards
Clive Peters Play of the Day
-Hands down Paul and Steve for their fantastic leg. They were at the top of the pack from start to finish and getting back ahead of the Team the U-Turned you before the next clue is just plain awesome.
Muppet of the Week
Ross, for taking too long to decide he wasn't going to get the puzzle right.
Heel Moment of the Week
This week I'm splitting the honors between Grace and Evilpaul the Accountant. I don't know why she thinks she's so much better than him after she was the main instigator in the "Let's mess with Paul" game, and Paul could have probably handled it better than to throw a hissy fit.
Congratulations, You Just Made Youtube
Paul and Grace split another award. This time, for Backpack Wars.
The Fran and Barry "Well that was unexpected" Award
Lucy and Emilia for their unexpected completely out of the blue 6th place finish. I thought for sure they were bound for a 7th place finish, until Grant said it was a non elimination leg, when I thought for sure they'd find a way to last.
