At the ropes course, Amani is scared she's going to lose her place in the course. She just wants it over and done with and makes it across the the platform. She tangles her rope and drops down the ladder but Rowah isn't concerned LOL. Amani is challenged in the mud, but they finish and head to the rafts. Rowah calls her daughter epic and is so proud of her. Ash & Sid hit the mud course and they note they like the finer things in life. Ash tries to call it a full body mud mask to get through it. Femi & Nick finally hit the ropes course and note they're not Tarzan. They think it's really high but know they're making silly mistakes which is why they're in last.

The nuns say their brothers and nephews are going to be ashamed of their drone skills. They start praying to god for some help to get Therese to score. It works as they finally get a goal, though Therese calls it a fluke. They leave in 9th place but know they're going to be eliminated if they dont get there fast. Femi & Nick finish their detour and head to the rafts in last.

Jasmin & Jerome start rafting as do Alpacas. They reach the pitstop unceremoniously in 5th and 6th spot.

The nuns think they've spent 1.5hrs droning. They dont know whats happened to everyone else. They see Ash & Sid and know their not last. Ash & Sid are worried now they're close to last. Femi & Nick are close to giving up, but something clicks and they say they didnt come all this way to give up. Rowah & Amani and Sid & Ash are all gearing up. The instragrammers hit the water first and take a lead. The muslim girls are right behind. The nuns reach the gear spot and start suiting up. Femi & Nick also arrive, they both realise they have a chance. Femi & Nick know they can't leave now, they're so much better than this... lol. Commercial break.

At the river, the nuns say the nurses have the biggest guns and will overtake them, so they have to try really hard. They call it magic that they're in Korea and doing this. They hear a noise and think it's air leaking from their boat. But then they realise its just the drone filming them LOL.

Beau is doing some live updates and honestly Phil could learn a thing or two. Sid & Ash hit the mat in 7th place, Rowah & Amani on their tails in 8th.

Femi & Nick are still behind the nuns. Nuns are just aiming for the goal of Beau Ryan LOL. They're so excited to be rafting in Korea. The nurses spin out and note that the gap really isnt closing. The nuns are doing really well. The nuns hit the shore and begin running to the mat. The nurses hit the land and sprint up the hill. A footrace is on to the mat. Femi & Nick have overtaken the nuns and they hit the mat just before them. Femi & Nick are 9th and the Nuns have been eliminated. They were so close. Femi calls this a big wake up call, their strategy obviously wasnt the way to go. Beau calls them the most hated people in Australia right now cause they knocked out the nuns LOL.

The nuns say it would have been awesome to stay but they're glad it was one big adventure. Go sister!

Next time, teams travel to Vietnam. Where a challenge pushes teams to breaking point (eating challenge!) before an epic race to the pitstop.

From what it looked like, the nuns probably lost out by maybe 20 meters or so... that praying at the fence honestly cost them the race :(

inabw809:
They really stepped up on the editing this episode, I feel; it's made the tone a LOT more like your traditional TAR episode.

dryedmangoez:
I agree. Much better pacing this ep. Not having to do team intros throughout the episode helped a lot.

About the opening credits though. TARAu really has had the best of any TAR in the world. But the mix of TARUS and TAR Canada's styles for the teams was very underwhelming. The green screen team shots really take away from the much more dynamic and fun shots of TARAu past. Like this iconic shot of Anne-Marie & Tracy:


The scenic/landmark shots they used though were stunning. But, eh, I'm sadly underwhelmed. lol
