NEW TWIST AS OF TAR 25: Once you book a flight, you CANNOT change! :o
-
YESSSS CYCLISTS DANCE - ahead of the power teams
-
This new rule is ridiculous.
-
Ok. They are going to Singapore and going to drink a coconut. (Didn't get location)
Everyone has flights from Paris which they may use but other than that they are on their own.
There will be a U-turn and there is some u-turn stagegy, nothing new.
Surfers + dentist are going via Paris
Cyliest Scientist and Wrestlers are on earlier flight via Rome
-
FF: Do a surf simulator.
RI: Marina Bay Sands
-
Here I was thinking that the fast forward was going to be at Marina Bay Sands :funny:
Guess I was wrong...
(But I guess it would make sense as a roadblock...)
-
Cyclist taking FF
-
Did someone caught the time difference between Adam & Bethany and Misti & Jim leaving the PS?
-
Just started watching and A&B on flight 2? Yeah, really looks like cyclists are safe guys. :groan:
-
RB: Tipe rope between the towers.
-
.We have our Phil moment
-
"She makes ice cream for a living and I kick girls in the face for a living."
-
Adam & Betheny are trying the FF. They know it may screw them over, but surfing!!!
Scientist did the RB, while Brooke wanted them to fall.
-
Sorry that my updates suck.
-
AMAYA CURRENTLY IN FIRST <3333333
-
Adam & Betheny are trying the FF. They know it may screw them over, but surfing!!!
Scientist did the RB, while Brooke wanted them to fall.
Too bad for the Wrestlers that Amy & Maya don't fall, then. :funny:
-
Lol at reusing half a detour from last season :funny:
-
Lol at reusing half a detour from last season :funny:
Well it wasn't used last season xD
-
Right... everyone went for the hackeysack one... I remember now :P
-
Detour: Crab or Massage
Brook and Robbie have a bit of Fran and Barry moment
Interesting FF battle
-
Yup! When was the last time we saw an FF battle?
-
Yup! When was the last time we saw an FF battle?
I think is Rachel & Dave vs Joey & Danny FF Battle on TAR20 in Azerbaijan.
-
Surfers win the FF, the leg, and a trip to Bali
-
Kym & Alli bickering badly... HATE seeing them like this :'(
This is the most energy we've seen from Amy... but OMG THAT SOUNDS/LOOKS SO PAINFUL I FEEL SO SORRY :'( :'(
:res: @ Brooke
-
OMG at Maya's back! It's all purple! That must be hurting so badly.
-
Sigh, proves my point that when a team is in the back, only then their true team's dynamics show.
That's why I think Misti and Jim and Adam and Bethany are great teams. Leg 4 shows everything.
-
A LOT of censorship this episode xD
-
OMG at Maya's back! It's all purple! That must be hurting so badly.
The power of cupping. You wanna try? :funny:
-

Definitely applies to Kym & Alli. But who else? ???
-
Ugh that massage Detour looks awful!
-
And good-bye to Misti & Jim wish of breaking Davechel's record.
-
OMG at Maya's back! It's all purple! That must be hurting so badly.

Declive, come to Singapore, Joab and I will give u a treat. Followed by a crab dinner if you can still sit or stand after it. :funny:
-
Oh wow! Brooke & Robbie not u-turning the Cyclists!
-
Cyclists still have a chance!
-
UPDATE: &%$# Bethany.
-
The Wrestlers are also backstabbers. Just FYI Rob & Amber were also backstabbers but had more class (and more leg wins).
-
Last episode was the first time I didn't really enjoy the Wrestlers. This episode, HATE. All they do is tease the Candy Girls because they're physically better than them :res:
BUT OMG at the drama in this episode. Race drama & team drama. Haven't gotten too much all season - this is amazing.
-
Sigh, proves my point that when a team is in the back, only then their true team's dynamics show.

I would have to disagree. Yes, they're bickering, and yes, their positive edit was because they were frontrunners, but, in their defense, they just lost a Fast Forward and knew that they were doomed. Besides, now they're acting positive to each other. I think it was just a "heat of the moment" thing.
-
I officially hate Brooke & Robbie for lying to Amy & Maya and backstabbing them too. Hopefully, they'll get karma!
-
Cyclists can get back in it, but at the expense of the candy girls. :(
I agree with Book, too, when you're that competitive, of course you're going to have a tussle-moment with your partner - doesn't make them grouchy people :hugs:
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
There's no competitive team on TAR that haven't had one of those moment at some point of the race.
-
I love Amy and Maya but I cant believe they U turned Adam and Bethany such a waste, they should have u turned team teeth!!!
-
We will miss you Cyclists! Great episode though!
-
I didn't realize until this episode that we have an EXTREMELY strong Final Five. Some may argue that Amy & Maya aren't really strong, but we've seen them get through the tasks quickly (but early in the race, they had navigation issues, but that's because they were self-driving legs...) and they can think strategically. Same goes to Brooke & Robbie, who didn't really do all that well until this leg (there was also Leg 4).
So someone had to go... and it was unfortunately the Cyclists :'( :'(
-
I love Amy and Maya but I cant believe they U turned Adam and Bethany such a waste, they should have u turned team teeth!!!
The Save says hi
-
I love Amy and Maya but I cant believe they U turned Adam and Bethany such a waste, they should have u turned team teeth!!!
What? They had the Save!
-
I love Amy and Maya but I cant believe they U turned Adam and Bethany such a waste, they should have u turned team teeth!!!
ofc that wouldn't have been a waste at all either . . .
-
I officially hate Brooke & Robbie for lying to Amy & Maya and backstabbing them too. Hopefully, they'll get karma!
See the preview for next week's episode. Karma bites them like you get a fish in your pants.
I love Amy and Maya but I cant believe they U turned Adam and Bethany such a waste, they should have u turned team teeth!!!
For people with PhDs, they are easily gullible. Not as street smart as Nat & Kat or Kisha & Jen.
-
Ugh that Merlion task was so stupid
All it accomplished was dropping Amy & Maya from 2nd to fourth. That's the third leg this season where Amy & Maya were second to finish the Detour/Roadblock but dropped to fourth or fifth en route to the Pit Stop....
-
the task was to allow u-turned teams to catch up imo best ari of the season
-
My Ox is broken switchback next week. :hearts: :yess: :conf:

LEG 9 (Malta --> Singapore) EPISODE ANALYSIS
BETTER TITLE QUOTE: "Cowabunga!" - Adam
In a breathtaking retreat from European territory to Asia, the teams experienced new tastes, new waves, and new heights shown throughout tonight's Leg. First thing I need to address is Jim's confessional about the no-swap ticket booking rule. I don't believe that is a new rule, but that was interesting information I learned from tonight. That's all. For the rest of the Leg, THIS WAS THE BEST EPISODE OF TAR25 TO DATE AND POSSIBLY THE BEST IN A DECADE! From the hilarity of the cupping v. crab Detour, U-Turn drama, Brooke & Robbie betraying Amy & Maya, and intense race for last place between Amy & Maya and Kym & Alli, I could not ask for anything more. Simply amazing!
FAST FORWARD: (Flow Rider)
One team must ride a wave for two minutes in order to receive the direct clue to the Pit Stop. This was an awesome Fast Forward in my opinion. Concentration is an essential quality to succeed in this task and even the slightest movement can cause someone to fly back into the barrier. Also, the Kym & Alli and Adam & Bethany competition to win a pass to the Pit Stop made this episode even more fantastic. Soundtrack was spot on for this task!
FAST FORWARD SCORE: 11/10 :hoot:
ROADBLOCK: (Who knows what a funambulist is?)
One team member had to walk a tightrope across the gap of two towers, grab a clue, and return to the starting point. This task required abdominal balance in order to offset the shakiness of the ropes. Despite the medium difficulty, I did not like how there was only one line for teams to traverse. Two lines would have sufficed for the epic competition purpose.
ROADBLOCK SCORE: 9/10
DETOUR: (Feel The Burn or Get Crackin')
In Feel The Burn, teams had to enjoy a Singaporean-style cupping session without resigning to receive their next clue. Three words for this task: Super incredibly hilarious! :funny: I loved every second of the purple feeling teams got after the deep tissue massage, especially when Amy began running in a weird motion. Haha. In Get Crackin', teams had to harvest 2 lbs. of crab meat to receive the next clue. Although Misti & Jim are the only team who attempted (completed) the task, the fresh-off-the-heat touch of the crabs is a decent obstacle to overcome.
DETOUR SCORE: 10/10
OTHER SCORES:
TEAM DEVELOPMENT: 9/10
TEAM DRAMA: 10/10
EDITING: 10/10
SOUNDTRACK: 10/10
PIT STOP CONFIGURATION: 10/10 (Finally, every placement is revealed by Phil himself. Woo hoo!)
KYM & ALLI'S TICKET AGENCY DANCE: 10/10
BROOKIE PASSING THE CLUE GUY IN HANDS' REACH: 11/10 (:funny:)
#FEELTHEBURN DURING THE CUPPING: 10/10
OVERALL: 10/10 :colors
But now... Frosty the Snowman here in the U.S.! :waves:

RachelLeVega, I usually agree with your alternate title quotes, but "Cowabunga!" really? You're Taking My Tan Off was one of the bests this season, imo.
-
Awesome episode with a sad outcome. The first 3 legs were alright... then 4 & 5 were probably the bests of the season so far for me... 6 & 7 were boring... 8 was better... 9 was back to where 4 & 5 were... but even better.
Tasks:
1. Fast Forward - Since when were Fast Forward's actually challenging?? Hate how this basically SCREAMED Adam & Bethany (note: I'm not blaming Adam/Bethany). But wow...
2. Roadblock - Feel like we've already seen something like this? At least Jim fell & added some drama to this task :lol:
3. Detour - The cupping detour.. OMG. I don't know why but I could not stop laughing at the cymbals dude at the Detour the Dentists did :lol:
4. Active Route Info - Definitely a unique Route Info! This was pretty much a Detour, but only just to pick up a clue. If they ever visit Singapore again, I wouldn't be surprised if one of these locations was re-used :lol:
Teams:
1. Adam & Bethany - I know, it's not their fault, but ughhhhh I'm mad at them.
2. Brooke & Robbie - Sheesh. Found these two hilarious... now I'm sick of them. Especially Brooke. With her teasing the Scientists, she's basically saying that brawn beats brain in the Race :res: Josh & Brent say hello!! :waves:
3. Misti & Jim - I laughed when Jim pulled out his whistle and joined the commotion at the Detour :funny:
4. Amy & Maya - Based off the editing, I really thought they were going to even beat the Fast Forward team to the Pit Stop, but then I was cheering for them to get 2nd. Then, they fall to 4th because of Brooke & Robbie. TRUST NO ONE
5. Kym & Alli - Hated seeing them in this position this leg. The one Fast Forward that appears, it's hard. Please return for another Race and WIN.
LOVE: Amy & Maya
LIKE: Adam & Bethany, Misti & Jim
NEUTRAL: Robbie (I really just think Brooke is a bad influence on him)
DISLIKE: Brooke
Who would have thought that the Scientists would be involved in this type of drama? :funny: "Next week, the Scientists want some answers!" THIS was their breakout episode.
Guys, I wouldn't get too excited over the Switchback. I mean, when did we ever see a good Switchback?
TAR 15 - Haybales (TAR 6) - This Switchback was actually pretty good, but Sam & Dan were annoying to watch.
TAR 20 - Shave Your Head (TAR 5/TAR 7) - Provided some funny Brenchel drama, but we didn't get to see this in action.
TAR 21 - Pole Vault (TAR 12) - Underwhelming. Ryan of Abbie & Ryan did fall a few times, but it was in the middle of a sad montage.
TAR 22 - Cheese Hill (TAR 14) - It was cool seeing this in a totally different environment, but that's about it...
- Briefcase (TAR 8 ) - It was good, but it kinda ruined the finale.
-
4. Active Route Info - Definitely a unique Route Info! This was pretty much a Detour, but only just to pick up a clue. If they ever visit Singapore again, I wouldn't be surprised if one of these locations was re-used :lol:
Actually, TAR has used several of the five locations of the lion statute ARI in past visits; Mount Faber was the pitstop in TAR 3 when Jill and John Vito were eliminated.
This was a good leg, even though Adam and Bethany had to adjust to the smaller size of the wave runner surfboard, that didn't take them long. It is ironic that Kym and Alli got eliminated anyhow without being U-Turned, and the U-Turn was wasted on a team that won the FF, although the only team that knew about it was Kym and Alli.
I'm sure the other three teams were shocked when they found out that Adam and Bethany had won the FF and the leg, after they arrived at the pit stop. I'm not sure how long a gap there is between the surfers and the wrestlers, but it will be interesting to see if it is enough to make a difference on the flights to the next destination. :)
And I;m sure Colin will be glad to pass the title of Ox Meltdown to one of this season's teams -- my guess is Jim will have the meltdown, but it won't matter because my guess is that leg 10 will be the final NEL.

Brooke was an iconic cackling mess this episode and I loved it! The cupping detour was amazing. I could watch that over and over

Brooke during the cupping Detour.
-
Disappointed in Brooke, but Amy & Maya always verify, you are in a competitive
race after all. Ally and Kym were fierce competitors, not my favorites, but
hate to see them go.
-
First of all, Kym/Alli :torche
I don't exactly see Brooke/Robbie as dead to me? Sure Amy/Maya are my favorite team, but EVIL Brooke/Robbie just came out of nowhere and I love them even more now because their antics are hilarious especially Brooke :lol: It may be mean, but they are entertaining!
The episode was surprisingly fun considering a LOT of it was recycled from TARA. (the tightrope walk, the "go to one of four locations to find the clue" ARI, the Fast Forward) It shows how even though The Amazing Race can recycle tasks from other versions, the cast they choose could easily make it fun. (TAR24's Sewing in Sri Lanka is a perfect example of how much they could fail with this) The cupping Detour was surprisingly great too, it certainly brought back TAR14 foot massage memories :lol:
A very solid leg!
Cast Rank: I. Love. EVERYONE! :hrt:
-
IDK why it happens to me but I feel that teams are zigzagging towards the place in Singapore even some point (Marina Bay Sands, Raffles Place, Fullerton Pavilion) are just neighbour to each other jugging on the background IMO.
Is there any Singaporean have any idea how near or far between the place for this leg?
-
Did anybody notice The Fullerton Pavilion in the background of Merlion Park lol
-
I feel like they don't even show the greeters saying "Welcome to _________" anymore... :(
According to one of the insider videos with Kym & Alli, the greeter for this leg is a former Racer - Melody or Sharon - from The Amazing Race Asia 1.

Whooohoooo!

Yep they are all within 10 minutes of each other without a crowded traffic.. As always with any Urban Singapore leg -.-
-
My dilemma this leg, not sure if I preferred the cyclists or Amaya to stay. I love both teams... The entire final five is awesome. :'(
-
This is one of those legs where the nature of the game hits the racers. I love it!
First, the whole u-turn plan! The default was to u-turn the cyclists. Everyone was on board. Then surprise! A fast-forward! And the cyclists are going for it. The default plan may not work now. So the front runners (Amy and Maya and Brooke and Robbie) established a new plan to U-turn one of the teams from the back (Misti and Jim and Bethany and Adam) along with the cyclists. This way, at least 1 team from the back will be pushed even more behind, just in case the cyclists actually won the fast forward. Amy and Maya did the surfers first (which I think is the right thing to do, considering you know they are behind). Little that they know the Surfers were actually the one with the Fast Forward LOL!. Then Brooke and Robbie refused to go along with the plan because their "mini accident" with Amy and Maya. Little that they knew u-turning the Cyclists would actually make their original plan work. LOL
Secondly, the fast forward. You gotta give Adam and Bethany credits for risking that move. That took a lot of guts, especially with at least three teams ahead of you. I would never go for a fast forward under that circumstance. Too much gamble to handle. And the fact that neither teams refused to let go of the fast forward is so great to watch. Something REALLY RARE that you get to see on the show.
Lastly, the "mini accident" between two front runners of the leg. Usually in past seasons, front runners of the leg tend to work together. Not this time lol. Well at least the cooperation was one sided. That was a bold move from the Wrestlers to lie but it didn't seem very well now that Amy and Maya actually survived lol.
And to think, in the beginning they all have one common enemy. LOL!
In the end, the cyclists were eliminated (as they planned), but Kym and Alli kinda brought it upon themselves. You want to blame them for going for the Fast Forward but you really can't because at that moment, the circumstance were actually in their favor. As matter of fact, we would call them making a dumb move if they didn't go for it. Ah the beauty of this game!
Looking forward to the Phillipines!
-
i loved this leg but i can't stand the wrestlers now, esp Brooke :knuckles:
Adam & Bethany clearly have the advantage at the fast forward
So sad Kym & Alli have been eliminated from the race :'( :'(
I will mad if they are not picked by CBS for the next All Stars Season
-
I love Brooke & Robbie. Without them, the ending of this leg would be so boring with Kym & Alli 100% going home. Yeah, maybe because I'm not really a fan of The Candy Girls so I don't really care if they got elimination instead of Kym & Alli.
-
If we complain enough, we might see them. :funny:
-
Sad for Kym/Alli, but it was either them or Amy/Maya. (THANKS WRESTLERS!) :torche
Although I really don't blame them for leading the Scientists to the wrong direction. They at least added some spice to the leg's ending.
Also, the Pit Stop Greeter :hrt:
-
I feel like they don't even show the greeters saying "Welcome to _________" anymore... :(
According to one of the insider videos with Kym & Alli, the greeter for this leg is a former Racer - Melody or Sharon - from The Amazing Race Asia 1.
I think the pit stop greeter is Melody from TARA 1.
Yah that her, maybe cos the legs was reuse from TARA 4 :funny: :funny: :funny: :funny:
-

Also because of Brooke lie to Maya, we can see all the Merlion Statue from all the location :funny: :funny:
-
All teams are delivering this season! I'll be happy with anyone with them winning
-
I'll be with them and win! :funny: #typoawk #justkidding
I am very glad the Singapore leg delivered this time. A memorable task massage task, a chilling Roadblock, a failed U-TURN and a Fast Forward battle!
Thanks to Jim falling. Thanks to Brooke's lying. Thanks to Amaya cluelessness. Thanks to Adam and Bethany's perseverance. And sadly, thanks to Kym and Allie's epic Fast Forward failure.
I think many times, the teams make up a huge part of the race and I hope the casting team continue to remember that no matter how lame the tasks or countries are, the show will still deliver with great teams.
We do not need boring "first-time we failed and therefore we need redemption" teams like Jessica and John or Amanda and Kris. We do not need teams like Dave and Connor, who are undeniably a great team but just NOT fun to watch.
What we need is more Kent and Vyxsin, Brendon and Rachel, Caroline and Jennifer, Jaymes and James and Nadiya and Natalie type of teams. Teams who have a great chemistry, great rapport and able to communicate whether nicely or explode in times of dysfunctional moments (it gets people talking!). If you ever have to go for a sweet couple, I think Kris and Jon and Adam and Bethany are examples of these type of couple teams they should cast. All in all, the stars are aligned this season just like in TAR 14 when Margie and Luke and the all-female teams made it far.

~The new rule with the flights is not something I like or hate, but I like how it adds up as a new game changer to TAR. :hrt:
~The fast forward was so good with a 2nd team coming, It adds some suspense. :hrt: These types fast forwards should be seen in future seasons, not just some bungee jumping by getting to a tower first or not some fast forward clue popping out on a linear leg.
~The roadblock was good despite it being recycled from TARA4.
~The china cups detour was nice. :hrt: We finally got to see the other detour from TAR24 Leg 2. :lol: Candy girls shouting just adds up to the goodness of the detour. :luvya:
~On the other hand, the crab detour was nice as well. :hrt: The factor that added to that was the noise coming from the cymbals and flute. It was an awesome distraction IMO. :funny: Jim adding the whistle was just... :funny: :funny: :funny:
~What I like about the ARI is that it shuffled some placements; however, I think it was more of a luck task.
~I like how the Cyclists weren't U-turned. :hearts: Sadly though, they were still eliminated. :torche
~I like how the Scientists were leading. Too bad they had to fall behind.
~I like how the Wrestlers chose not to U-turn the Cyclists. Additional points goes to Brooke's evil lying. :hrt: I'm probably one of the few who like it. It added some suspense in a race for last against the Cyclists IMO. :hrt:
~I like how the Dentists don't get the all-serious edit anymore. Jim was having fun whistling along with the noise at the detour. :funny:
~I like how the Surfers took the risk at the FF. I didn't like how the Cyclists had to go home because of that though. :torche Oh well...
~Kym & Alli were such a fun team. I'm not gonna mourn about their elimination any further, but instead, I am hoping that they will come back for All-Stars! :hoot: :hoot: :hoot: They have to because they are such a fun team. All I hope is that they don't have to turn it down once they get invited.
I love the episode. :wohoo: :hearts: :conf: :colors :hrt: :luvya: :hoot: I still do not hate any team until now. (Weird I think)
Seriously, I want Kym & Alli for All-Stars! :hoot: :hoot: :hoot: :hoot: :hoot: I really hope they come back next time.

Anyway, for the new rule of flights, teams cannot try to get to earlier flights by waitlist or at the connecting airports anymore, right?
-
i loved this leg but i can't stand the wrestlers now, esp Brooke :knuckles:
Adam & Bethany clearly have the advantage at the fast forward
So sad Kym & Alli have been eliminated from the race :'( :'(
I will mad if they are not picked by CBS for the next All Stars Season
^ Exactly the same.
Bring the Cyclists back for the next All Stars, please.

Finally watched the episode and gosh, Broobie are SO BADASS EVIL. <3
Amaya being GULLIBLE </3
Adam and Bethany winning Fast Forward <3
Kym and Allie being eliminated </3
Misti and Jim being calm and cool and finally not talking about how they want to win every leg <3
-
Something random, but I can't believe they spent an entire leg running around downtown Singapore which included locations like Raffles Place and Clark Quay and nobody freaking saw them. :groan: :lala :gaah:
-
I feel like they don't even show the greeters saying "Welcome to _________" anymore... :(
According to one of the insider videos with Kym & Alli, the greeter for this leg is a former Racer - Melody or Sharon - from The Amazing Race Asia 1.
I think the pit stop greeter is Melody from TARA 1.
:o Oh my god! That's why the girl looked so familiar. I kept wondering where I knew the woman from. I just thought I watch some Singaporean TV a few years before...
Which video tells that it was Melody? Found the video. Its title: The Amazing Race Family. Is she Melody or Sharon? I first thought it was Melody because of the eyes, but she said her bike stalled out on her, and that happened to Sharon.

It was Melody.. Lol cos TARA fans know her :funny: :funny: :funny:

My only problem though, so far there are only three teams that has won a leg! That's kind of a bummer! Character-wise they are great to watch, but not so much competition-wise apparently.

I see that the majority are now hating the Wrestlers, but I have to take their side over the Scientists. Reason being that the Scientists going against Kym & Alli was a BIG NO NO in my book, so whoever rivals the Scientists, I'm rooting for. Maybe a flawed logic, oh well. :funny:
Brooke does still really annoy me, but I like Robbie and feel he's being dragged down by her. :'(
RIP the GREATEST Female team to ever grace my television. If we're lucky enough to get another All Stars they've gotta be locks for the casting. It would be a travesty for them to be overlooked by producers.
Began to slowly love Jim this episode, now that his edit is much less intense then usual.
Tasks we're great, and whoever decided to put that RI AFTER the U-Turn was a genius, and a welcome change to allow U-Turned teams the opportunity to catch up.
Team Rankings After Leg 9
LOVE: I hate saying this but Nobody. :'(
Slowly Loving: Jim & Misti
Like: Robbie
Neutral: Adam & Bethany
Dislike: Brooke
HATE: Amy & Maya - Last week they we're in my Love List, but after their attack on the Cyclists I've no choice but to place them here now. Especially after the Cyclists helped them get the earlier flight, it feels like a betrayal. :(

well but Kym/Alli wanted to help them because they wanted them to be on same flight so as to keep the competition around in case of any flight delay.
To be honest, this season Final 5 is great because most of them are quite clever and strategic:-
Kym/Alli - offered help to Amy/Maya just because they knew they could beat them; went for FF because in a lead and avoid the U-turn; voiced out the intention to go for FF so that A/M and B/R would not compete with and probably won't consider U-turn them; skipping the Merlion along the harbour because they knew it would not be that close
Amy/Maya - The whole U-turn strategy, they are absolutely right u-turning the surfers in this situation and persuading the second team to u-turn the cyclists so that any one of them would fall under the u-turn
Adam/Bethany - Bethany is so clever this time going for the FF even in last place, as they knew that they got nothing to lose in this situation, and also avoid the u-turn
The only random characters are the wrestlers, they are quite sneaky that they lied, it nearly skewed the outcome a bit (potentially eliminating A/M)
I would have to say the cyclists are out because they're too clever, if they only did the normal course the worst outcome may be being u-turn by A/M but they would further u-turn the wrestlers, so the wrestlers may probably be out in this situation. Anyway, the producers have to get the cyclists back for All-Stars!! :hrt:

Melody shares her thought on being the pitstop greeter on TAR 25.
Just when I thought being part of #TheAmazingRaceAsia in 2006 was close enough to being part of the original US version of #TheAmazingRace, I got invited to stand next to #PhilKeoghan on THAT mat for #TAR25 in #Singapore earlier this year. I was absolutely stoked and honored to represent our little Red Dot again. That's another big fat check on the bucket list! Thanks so much for the opportunity, @activetvasia! xoxo #melodychen #amazingrace #amazingracegreeter #amazingracer
