:-[ I just copied over a lot from Season 2, because I didn't want any Wiki admins yelling at me for incomplete pages...

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?

- They had to shave 3 balloons
- Dong Ho challenge took place at the Voi Phuc temple (Thu Le Zoo).

To Peach: All the shows in Vietnam will be official uploaded online by producer, even in HD :lol:

Detour: Drum or Candy
- Drum: Two members of the team need to stand on the seesaw as long as one end of the seesaw (the one who hold the drum stick has to be up in the air and the balloon does not explode at the other end. One member stricks the drum three times and then they must exchange the flags and the drumstick to finish the task.
- Candy: Cook traditional candy called Che Lam

Route info: Go to a marked place near Duong Lam village to play stick pushing.
- Two members play stick pushing with two strong men. They must stay inside the playing area for 3 minutes to finish the task.

Route info: Find a marked person in Ta Hien street, Hanoi to receive the next clue.

Route info: Sell 5 scarfs to get 1.5 million VND (about 70 USD).

Pit stop: Hoang Thanh Thang Long (Thang Long Ruin) (Last season Finish Line)

2. Hoang Nam - Lan Trinh
3. Son Ngoc Minh - Mint Hue
4. Trang Tran - Hieu Nguyen
5. Hoang Duong - Mai Trang
6. Trang Khieu - An Dinh
7. Huong Giang - Criss Lai
8. Khai Anh - Kim Thanh (get 30 minutes penalty, go from second place to 8th place).
9. Son Viet - Minh Long (Eliminated, they lost the clue but because they went to Pit stop at the last place, they don't need to receive the penalty)

OMG! This leg is so good and emotional.  :'( Love the casts of this season. They're so competitive and good, I can't hate anyone.  :conf:

@Peach: Even live stream is official in Vietnam because VTV is national chanel so they want to make sure everyone can watch the shows by anyway that we can.

I forgot to ask for this before, but I'll also need some information about the contestants. I'd like,

1. Full Name (Most important)
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!

And when viewers said that there were many things missing, the editors answered that two episodes are still too short for them :lol:

TAR Philippines has three-five episodes per one leg, but unlike other TARs, the show has 30 minutes shorter.

The controversy about the race is so annoying this week.  )-** But the tasks of this leg were good by far.  :luvya: The purple girl is a famous composer's wife but didn't know 'Nhảy Sạp' (Bamboo Dance).  :funny:

Really? I hate the tasks. Bamboo Dance and Weights? Are they prisoners? It's opposite to the beauty of that dance. They should ask them to learn a complicated dance moves than doing something ridiculous like that.

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.

Route info: Go to the oldest house in Ban Po. Bring two goats to the marked place. They must guess correctly the weight of the goats. (Error is no more than 0.5 kg)
Penalty: 1 hour if giving up.

Route info: Go to historical place "Chỉ huy chiến dịch Điện Biên Phủ" (Military Control Center for Battle of Dien Bien Phu) near Muong Phang, Dien Bien. 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.

Detour: Solider or Citizen
- Solider: Dig a standard stronghold (?) (Funfact: During digging, red team was freaked out because they though that they dug into a bomb)
- Citizen: Transfer 4 bags of rice (160 kg) to the marked place

Route info: Go to instructed place. One person is held by a fixed rope, one person is held by a elastic rope. They have to exchange the flag.

Pit stop: A1 hill

1. Huong Giang - Criss Lai
2. Long Dien - Kim Dung
3. Son Ngoc Minh - Mint Hue
4. Trang Khan - Hieu Nguyen
5. Hoang Duong - Mai Trang
6. Khai Anh - Kim Thanh
7. Trang Khieu - An Dinh
8. Lan Trinh - Hoang Nam (Eliminated. 30 minutes penalty because of losing Detour clue. Trang Khieu - An Dinh picked it up. Eliminated.)

Twist: Trang Khieu - An Dinh had a choice to return the clue for Lan Trinh - Hoang Nam. But of course, they refuse to do that. If they did, they would be eliminated.

Up to now, all the RI are ARI. They always need to do a kind of task every time they received a clue.
