1 leg 2 nights  :ascared

Only in Vietnam version, I think:
- 1 leg in two episodes, it will be like that all season.
- Roadblock: there are two different parts of a RB. The second part is not related to the first one. I think there are two RB but for the same person.

There will be 11 legs this time and only 9 teams. So at least 4 leg NEL/KOR.

Muong Thanh, not Tan Thanh.

Ep 2 was better than ep 1. And some teams started showing their true colour.  :) :) But the edit's still bad.  :groan:

Thank. I just try to use my memory. I did not want to watch it again because it is so terrible.

Edit, Camera and Sound... they were all so bad. But yeah, the teams are all good.

Hey everyone! It's your favourite Wiki-writer! :D I just have a few questions/requests that I hope can get answered here.

1. For all of the M/F teams, can someone please say who is the male and who is the female? I want to be sure, as I am unfamiliar with Vietnamese names.
2. Why is the relationship of Team Purple listed as "chị em"? Putting this into Google Translate gives me 'Sisters'.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Orange team: Hieu Nguyen (M) & Trang Tran (F)
Teal team: Son Ngoc Minh (M) & Mint Hue (F)
Red team: Long Dien (M) & Kim Dung (F)
Green team: Hoang Nam (M) & Lan Trinh (F)
Blue team: Hoang Duong (M) & Mai Trang (F)
Purple team: Khai Anh (M) & Kim Thanh (F)
Pink team: Criss Lai (M) & Huong Giang (F)

For purple team, 'Chị em' means older sister and younger brother. However, they are not relative. Kim Thanh's husband is a composer. Khai Anh is a singer. He is the manager of Khai Anh. So Khai Anh and Kim Thanh consider each other as sister and brother.

Post by: G.B. on June 28, 2014, 02:41:04 AM
Oh wow, I got all but one of them right! Awesome.

Hmm, so would "chi em" be sort of like slang, or a colloquial term in this sense? Kind of like how in English we might go "Hey, Bro!" to someone who isn't our Brother?
Title: Re: Re: TAR VietNam 3-- Pre-Race News, Speculation, Cast Reveal
Post by: paradoxinee on June 28, 2014, 03:07:54 AM
Yes, it is something like that.
Actually I don't know why their relationship is Sister and Brother. Maybe they are too close and consider each other as family's members.

Leg 2: Hanoi

Starting line: Ngoc Son temple, Hoan Kiem lake

Route info: Drive themselves by bike to the gas station at the crossing road between Hang Bun street and Yen Phu street, find a marked person.

(I don't know why Grey team departs behind Blue team)

Roadblock: Who wants to be a barber (similar to TAR US 24 Roadblock in Sevilles)
- Team member has to shave successful 3 balloons.
- If the balloon explodes, they need to wait 15 minutes to continue.

Route info: Go to the oldest house in Duong Lam village to find the next clue.

Leg 1 - The Express Pass (Thẻ Ưu Tiên) - an item that can be used on the race to skip any one task of the team's choosing up until the 11th leg.
the end of leg 8th

Airdate: 21 June 2014
21 and 22 because this year, 2 episodes for 1 legs on Saturday and Sun day. :D

Quote
At the Mot Mai Pagoda, team had to search for a large box filled with books, and had to transport this box to the Tran Nhan Tong Buddha Statue. They would deliver the box to a monk, who would ask them for "The Green Lotus Bud". Teams had to figure out that this was the name of one of the books in the box and present said book to him. In exchange, he would hand them their next clue.
If teams can't find the hint, the have to transport the box of books to cable station and there's a person who will answer the hint for them.

That's why purple team had to come back but luckily, the box fell down and they found the book. :D

What do you think of my listing Team Purple as "Siblings in Spirit"?

Questions for Episode 3:

-Did they have to shave 3 balloons, or just attempt 3 balloons?
-Did the Dong Ho challenge take place at the Voi Phuc Temple (Temple #4), or elsewhere?

2. Age
3. Hometown

If you can't find the last two that's okay, but their full name is almost mandatory. Whenever someone has the chance. Thanks!

Muy Sap has been done plenty of times in other races, so it's good to throw in a twist.

Orange team was so angry today! What happened?

And....wow....Just WOW...It's COUNTING! It's simple 12345 COUNTING...How did so many of them screw that up? Honestly, how difficult is it to count to 29??

But that twist is stupid.

About orange team, Trang Tran got hurt by carrying bamboo and she swear. Hieu Nguyen thought that she's bitching about him and he yelled against her. Trang Tran got angry and wanted to give up until Hieu Nguyen gave her an apology.

About counting, some teams got difficult to focus with holding that egg. And also, some soldier statues are very difficult to identify because they are not separating statues. Some of them are just a face, a head... which are hidden behind another soldier.

They must build a kind of fireplace called 'Bep Hoang Cam' which was used in the war in Vietnam. This fireplace is famous because it makes no smoke so that it is useful for camouflage during the war. Then, they have to boil one hotpan of water to receive the next clue.

Route info: Go to Ban Vang 1, Dien Bien to find the next clue.

Someone (he said that he was an camera man of this show) texted a message to reporters about the result of the race and accused that the show was fixed for some contestants.  )-**

He explained in previous post.

A mystery person who claimed to be used to be in product crew sent that mobile message to many people including reporters and old racers (Diep Lam Anh was the last year winner). He/She claimed that: BHD (Production Company) fixed the results. They rigged for Blue team to go far in the game. Blue team, Yellow team and Pink team are Production's pet and they did many things to give advantage for these team. He also revealed the final results of these teams. I don't know if it's true or right but it's a kind of spoiler so I will not translate that part.

If not, could you at least write a list of locations? Getting those for the Wiki can be difficult sometimes

At the VERY least, if they mention the starting line could you say that? The starting lines never have Captions on screen that I can translate :c

No, I still watch the show. I just feel to have no interest to recap it. Just like the last season's final leg.
Anyway, I will try to do it but maybe a little delay.

QUESTIONS ABOUT LEG 4:

1. Does anyone know what kind of plants they were harvesting for the elephants?
2. Does anyone know the name of the song they sung during the Roadblock? Was it a love song?
3. What is team blue's penalty for finishing in last? (If stated)

I shall remain a neutral party in the midst of all this controversy. I'm just an impartial observer who wishes to get the wikis done.

1. Just a kind of grass. I don't know the name.
2. Yes, it is a love song but it is a kind of traditional music (local music). That kind of music is called "Ḥ"
3. No penalty because it's KOR.

Yes, everyone is welcomed here, especially a racer. But which racer are you :-/ Anyway, the first thing you can help is: GB need full name of all racers. I try to find it in Vietnamese media but I can't find anything. I only know Do Hoang Duong and Ngo Mai Trang.

The race is public so some photos of the race will be somewhere. Just need some investigations. And in RFF, there are many great detectives.

Yes, hello! Whoever you are, it's really great to meet you!

One very important aspect of our wiki is the Full Names of contestants, since this is a Reality Show wiki and we are collecting data on real people. It looks a little unprofessional when Season 3 only has given names, while the past two seasons have full names X3

It would also be nice to have their ages and hometowns, but these are not as important as the names.

Just in general, I think, is to take a look at the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Race_Vietnam_2014) and just see if anything stands out to you that is incorrect. If you don't feel like editing it, then I will be more than happy to do it for you. Just say anything here that's wrong and I will fix it!

Thank you in advance!

I just read the leg 4.
1. Đền Cuông task, they must use the numbers and the given keys to find a word related to An Dương Vương. The answer is Vương ( = King in English)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_D%C6%B0%C6%A1ng_V%C6%B0%C6%A1ng
2. They need to cut 15 kg of nearby plant and feed 5kg to the elephant. They need to clean 50kg of elephant waste.
3. About the salt task, I think you don't understand how they made the salt. Here is the step.
- Sand is spread over the land and they water it with sea water. Under the sun, sand is dried and keep the salt crystal.
- Collect the sand and put it to the designed place. (Team did it right when they came)
- Use their feet to prepare the sand. Add the water. Sand is now as a filter and they can collect water with very high concentration of salt. (The team did this)
- That water with high concentration of salt is put into the field. Under the sun, salt is crystalized as iced and then they collect it. (The team did it, they collect 70 kg each team).
- Spread the new sand over the land for the next time (Team did it).

Ikr.

I forgot about this, the soccer challenge
- You said 4 hits but we should make it more clearly: each member two hits.
- In front of the goal right in the middle, they have a human frame instead of a goal keeper.
- They must goal 3 out of 5 times.
- If they fails, they got 15 minutes penalty until trying again.

And about Ḥ roadblock, after hearing the song, they have 30 minutes to learn before trying to perform. Everytime they fail, they also got 15 minutes penalty.

I think I can say this race is 15 minutes race because they give 15 minutes penalty almost every challenge.

Leg 5
In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to ride the park's zipline. During the ride, they would have to memorize the numbers they saw along the ride. Then, they had to punch in the string of numbers in the correct order as they appeared to dial a person who would have their next clue. In this Detour. teams choose between Truyền Thống (Tradition) and Hiện Đại (Modern). In Truyền Thống, teams had to take a basket and wade into the nearby ocean. where they would use it to collect small snails from the waterbed. Once they had collected at least 5kg, teams would get their next clue. In Hiện Đại, teams had to use the provided tools and materials to install a work of modern art (installation art). Once their work was approved by a judge, teams would get their next clue
Once at the Alba Hot Springs, one team member had to complete a complex high-altitude ropes course while blindfolded. – i know this is called Hi-wire

Long Dien is his full name since he is of chinese descent. Last name Long, first name Dien. I think Kim Dung is a similar case but I can't be 100% sure.
It's becoming acceptable for Vietnamese to go by their first/last name basis and Trang Khieu, Trang Tran and Hieu Nguyen are using this format professionally so I think keeping their names like this will make it easier for anyone who wants to find out more about them as compared to their full name.

Thank you very much for the hometowns and ages!! That's perfect, for the first time a TAR Vietnam table will be completely full of those.

...Except I think you missed Blue Team. I'm going to guess that the show already refers to them by full name? (Considering how long they are)

The names are just SPECTACULAR so far, thank you very very much! It lets us do something before the "Other" Amazing Race Wiki, mwahahaha! If you find out anything more about Red/Orange names, let us know! :D

And those are snails? Really? They look super tiny, I totally thought they were rocks. Do you (or Paradoxinee) happen to know which lake that task took place at?

Oh and one more thing, could you confirm that Team Blue received no penalty for Leg 5 (Such as the 30-minut penalty if not in first). Since theirs is such an unusual circumstance, I'd like to have a second source confirm what happened (Certainly not that I don't trust you, Para ^_^)

This is KOR? Really? I never picked up on that.

But the Latin American race has done KOR with NEL penalties before, it's not a new thing.

Are you sure Huy is not just telling them "You get to keep on racing!" because they haven't been eliminated? Kinda like Phil sometimes says "You get to race another day"

The problem is that last time when Blue team (Hoang Duong - Kiwi) is saved by KOR leg, they got no penalty. That's why it made this leg more rigging. And also, HK said KOR for other teams and NEL for Yellow team.

GB, there are some mistakes, I think.

For leg 5: Huế
- Sơn Ngọc Minh & Mint Huê received 15 minutes penalty, not 20 minutes.
- They must sell 20 hats (Nón) for 3 millions VND. They could sell 1 for any price they want though (200.000 VND, 100.000 VND...)
- For Highwire challenge, after receiving the clue, the one did the course need to finish the remain part with the mouth holding the clue. That's why Yellow team had to do it again because Trang Khieu dropped the clue.

For leg 6: Nha Trang, Khánh Ḥa
- In Xuống Biển, they must sew to repair the broken net.
- The first task is using their body except their hands and their foot to paint a picture about Nha Trang (Not I Love Nha Trang, that is just idea of Pink and Orange teams).
- In the second task, they must pass 7 platforms in order then swim to the instructed boat to obtain 10 bottles of Sting.
- In the last task, they have to paddle basket boats to a big boat. There they must prepare everything to cook a famous dish of Nha Trang called 'Chả cá' (kind of fish loaf, I don't know how to call that in English). Then they should bring everything prepared back into the basket boats, paddle into the middle of the water, fry the fish loaf. After that, bring back to the big boat (not another one). The judge will taste and decide if they pass or fail.

They continue to change the rule.

Penalty for giving up Roadblock is only 1 hour. Also, they can change people to do the Roadblock (the same as last year).

They must prune grape branches and harvest grapes as instructed.
For pruning, they have to finish a required area (marked by green rope, I think). The same for harvesting grapes.

Son Ngoc Minh & Mint Hue got 30 minutes penalty because they borrow the money from local people to pay the taxi (they swear to come back to return the money after the race). However, Huy Khanh told them that the penalty will start from the starting point of next leg. I don't know but it means that they 100% think that Red team will be eliminated at that point.

I cannot believe how difficult it is to find the Trai Bo Ecological Tourist Zone in Nghe An on Google Earth/Maps, despite many websites claiming it's the "largest zoo in Vietnam". I can't find a single trace of it anywhere.

To be fair though, that was a speeding penalty and speeding penalties have been applied at the start of the following leg since season 2 (along with car-stealing penalties LOL (luh ya Don & MJ <3)).

From Wikipedia Vietnamese, Trang Khieu & An Dinh make to the finally and they arrived 1st place but received 30mins penalty, HuongGiang&Criss and Tran Tran& Hieu Nguyen check-in dropping them into 3rd place.
Once again, team check-in the finish lines 1st but didn't win  (:;)

They used the same 10-second loop song for the ENTIRE eating challenge. Wow.....That was really annoying.

But, on the other hand, I got a laugh then Do Hoang Duong referenced Angry Birds. XDD

Did we ever get a name for either of the fields they went to in this leg? (The Roadblock, and the Tractor task)

Awesome! I was also hoping to get some assistance with something else.

At this point in the development of the RFF Wiki, I'm gathering up the 'Roadblock' prompts, ie the questions (Ai Thich...) that are asked before they decide who does the Roadblock. For this show, most of them are helpfully written on screen.

A few, however, are not. :( I'm missing,

Season 1, First Roadblock of Final Leg (Climbing across the bridge)
Season 2, Leg 3
Season 2, Leg 4
Season 2, Leg 7, and
Season 3, Leg 7 (Last week's)

They're all still on Youtube, thankfully, and you can usually hear one of the contestants at least SAYING it. If anyone would like to help, that would be greatly appreciated!

Season 1: Final leg. They said nothing about that.
Season 2: Leg 3. Who wants to fly up? (Ai muốn bay lên)
Season 2: Leg 4. Who loves treasure under the sea? (Ai thích báu vật dưới đáy biển)
Season 2: Leg 7. Who loves to clean up your house? (Ai thích dọn dẹp nhà cửa)
Season 3: Leg 7. Who loves sheep? (Ai thích cừu)

Hey wassap. Couple of questions for the exciting trip to South Korea!!

-What happened to An Dinh in the airport?
-How would "Phóng Tên" be translated? I put it into Google Translate, but it's spitting out "Reporter Name", which doesn't make much sense for the stick-throwing task.
-What is the Blue Team's penalty for?

-What is the Blue Team's penalty for?

- An Dinh has two passports and she had a problem when she used both. So she could not fly with everyone. Luckily, all the flights were delayed when they went to Incheon so An Dinh can catch up (only 1 hour later than departure time).
- Phóng = Throw/Launch, Tên = Arrow.
- This Roadblock, they need to shoot 5 dishes with 16 bullets. If they fail, they have to wait for 30 minutes before receiving the next clue. There is a problem with RB count. Hoang Duong already did 5 roadblocks. This made 6th RB and it broke the rule. But actually, they did not get any penalty for that because they already failed and had to wait 30 minutes.

I will tell you after watching it tonight. However, according to my friends, even Huy Khanh said that this is a NEL (Not-yet-eliminated leg, literally), it seems to be KOR/TBC leg without any penalty.

Blue team and Orange team got penalty for talking while doing counting task. They had to keep silent inside the museum. If they want to talk, they had to walk outside the museum.

For Yellow team, they got no penalty.

GB, some mistakes in last leg in Jeju:
1. Throwing Stick Detour: On the way up, they will receive a sticker which they can exchange for 10 sticks on the top. If they failed, they must climb down by another way to get another sticker and climb up again.
2. For Maze Route Info: there are two parts of the clue within two clue boxes in the maze. They must find both. This part "However, there were also some empty clue boxes in the maze" is not correct.

There are 10 baskets of cakes. Also there are 10 cards include 1 red card (heart or diamond), 8 black card (spade or club) and 1 joker. These cards are shuffled and dealt randomly. One member of the team has to choose one basket and eat one cake. If the basket has black card, they must finish the cake and choose another one. If it has red card, they must the finish the cake before receiving the next clue. If it has joker, they get 15 minutes penalty.

-Were the judges from the two Detours celebrities? They seemed famous.
-What was the time limit for the high-wire challenge?
-What was the time limit for the ball-rolling challenge?

-What was the time limit for the ball-rolling challenge?

Thx!

- I don't know the judge from Sing Detour. The judge for Magic Detour is one of semi-finalists of Vietnam Got Talent season 2.
- Time limit for high-wire challenge is 30 minutes. For each 5 minutes over, they get 15 minutes penalty. If they give up, they got 2 hours and 30 minutes penalty.
- They don't mention the time-limit for ball-rolling challenge and also time penalty when they fail. I will ask racer about this one. If you've not known yet, the sum of numbers of all balls in a row has to be 26. They can not use pen and paper to calculate. Yellow team will get penalty if they are not the last team to arrive.
- For your reference, the Roadblock, they have only 1 minute and 30 seconds to perform. If they fail, they get 10 minute penalty before starting again. For the first 5 times, they must have all 3 balls in the cup. After failing 5 times, the score will be accumulated until they have all three balls. Side note: They can not throw ball directly to the cup, the ball has to bound on the table into the cup.

- The judge from sing detour is Anh Bằng. He's not quite famous because of his type of music (songs about revolution, war, soldiers, ect). The place is the house of Star Academy Vietnam.
- The judge from magic detour is Nguyễn Phương. Semifinalist of Vietnam's Got Talent.
