I'm assuming "Rokkaa" translates to "Rock", as in the verb to make music. ("We're gonna ROCK this town!") Because all of my research pointed me towards "Rokkaa" meaning "Pea Soup", and that makes a lot less sense.

You are correct :tup:

In this case "rokkaa" means "to rock". However, one could say rokka or rokkakeitto, meaning the pea soup. It is not the most used word for it, more like a regional word. Also Rokka was the last name of a well-known somewhat fictional character.

Episode 3

Decent/Good episode. The tasks were good, since there were different techniques or tactics how you can do it (coconuts & building the raft). The elevator or stairs at the end was also okay, though I think it was just to make it easier for the editor to try to make things more dramatic.

Mari is still my fave, but I don't like her son. Sara&Artturi are entertaining and nice that they are moving forward in the rankings, but next episode Sara will have difficulties cuddling with the snakes I guess.

The female teams are okay, but faves are mom&daughter. The politicians Maria&other blonde are also interesting and competitive, interesting to see Maria's boiling points and her losing her temper more and more as the game continues.

Tuomas from twins team seems to be a bit goofy and disoriented, which is good, since other teams are a bit too similar with each other.

Hmm. I am not happy about the way how the young men ended their race, even though they were my least favourites. The episode didn't showcase enough how sick Jaakko really was. Especially, when the old guy & Mari have also been sick. Now they made it look like the boys were hangover, just not feeling it, tired or something else - when the news article states that he was actually really sick.

I'm just happy they referenced Da Vinci in one of the places he lived, and one of his less famous ideas (my favorite is the mechanical knight he at least built a prototype of, which sadly no longer exists)

I'm not sure why every time they go to Milan that they do one task in the city before leaving for the rest of the leg. Happened in TAR 4, TAR 29, and now TAR 38. The flower task was great, but the rest of the leg really couldn't compare. It did allow us to see the famous Hermann. It's an accomplishment that Jack & Chelsie were able to survive for ten legs with all of their navigational woes.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but the non-Big Brother racers are way more entertaining to me than the ones from Big Brother.

Adam is a large reason why Joseph & Adam are my favorites this season.

Every single time around this point of every season. Also, I find it funny how Thailand is the first country they revisit and they do the coin balancing task again just with water. Think they were hoping more people would get drenched. Of all the teams with the most questionable boat building skills, Tomas & Esko easily took the prize. None of their bamboo poles stayed above water. The women continue to dominate this season though Sara & Artturi are moving up. Mari & Joel have gotten another lucky break though don't think it will last.


I'll just leave this here.

Parkkali says that he developed a fever in Cambodia, where he received painkillers to control the symptoms. The flight to Thailand also went in a feverish mood.

– Finally, the situation hit me in the face. On the morning of the race, an ambulance and production crew came to our hotel. I had to be put on an IV because my body was completely empty, Parkkali recalls.

– I was in really bad shape, completely bedridden. My fever was really high and I also had flu symptoms. It was hard to talk and I was sweating. Then, when I got a stomach bug, I went completely dry and limp. That was the worst of all.

– The doctor said that now the fever is so high and the stomach is rumbling so loudly that if he goes to compete, the risk of myocarditis is so high that there is no way he can go, Parkkali says.

Parkkali was bedridden for several days, unable to leave his hotel room. Lindemann did not catch the disease, even though he was in the same room as Parkkali.
