Meanwhile, I did not see the smart kids' elimination coming. :o 1st to worst, the complete opposite of Yvonne & Chloe's. I didn't know the 9th place curse would stretch to TARA. :lol:
Some coincidences this leg:
~Yvonne & Chloe and Brandon & Alphaeus are at both ends of the placement spectrum during leg start and leg end, and they just switched places. Both teams are from Malaysia too.
~The 3 MM teams this season are the bottom 3 this leg.
Overall, the episode was good. There were a lot of placement switches, and the detour was good. There were amusing mistakes from teams, :lol: and also navigation drama. The roadblock was poorly designed though, and it was bordering linear. ??? At least there was a suspenseful footrace in the end. I was rooting for both teams, so oh well. :torche At least Brandon & Alphaeus won something from last leg. :lol:
JK & Mike on the preview though. :ascared Is there even any team I don't like? ???
Also NEL, when are you coming? :lol: Please don't let the budget push you too far. :(

Asia's 9th place curse
Season 1 (Aubrey & Jacqueline) quit the RB
Season 2 (Brett & Kinaryosih) switch the detour, navigation lost
Season 3 (Isaac & William) took the later flight
Season 4 (Wendy & Alan) caught the very slow bus
BourkieBoy:
Still annoyed that it was an elimination leg, but:
SO HAPPY THAT #TEAMTRAVELHOSTS checked in 5th! :luvya:
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE UPDATES GAMER!
Prama:
this episode is way better than the first one. still, there are some flaws on editing, but I really enjoyed it!
tasks were good, though the Roadblock is too linear and I kinda hope they put the Pit Stop somewhere else, but all the drama that happens on this leg (e.g: navigational problem, fail to read clue, last two teams doing RB at the same time, etc) makes it more interesting to watch
we also got to see a huge comeback from yvonne/chloe goddesses :luvya: rach/vick driving their bike like crazy :lol: parul/maggie (kinda) involved on an argument, rachel applies a bug spray while vicky doing RB <3 :lol: and JK/Mike bicker worse than a married couple. there are sooo many great moments there and I can't wait to see it more on the next episodes! :conf:

I'm not exactly sure how they defined "search tea plantation for doll" as a Roadblock, but Maggie tweeted that it took her five minutes so maybe it was easier than the task made it look on TV? :umn:
The RB being pretty easy would explain how the Roadblock arrival order basically remained the same after placements otherwise shifting all leg.
