Predicting an NEL.

Same.

Who's updating tonight?

[aussieamazingracer]

Predicting an NEL.

Same!! Surely it will be a NEL?? Too early to get to F5 this leg. Excited for Africa! I can’t update tonight.

[Jay33]

I haven't seen the last two episodes yet, but most of my favorites are already gone now. Not really a fan of Femi/Nick, though I thought I would be. Of those left I guess I'd pick J/J as my winners.

[BourkieBoy]

Previously, on The Amazing Race Australia!

In Mongolia, the epic Race for $250,000, reached the halfway point! As a new contender rose and we said goodbye to a favorite!

Tonight, the competition reaches new heights in Africa, where the wildfire and the nature, are as big as the teams!

But, when it comes to working together, it's every team for themselves!

Intro!

[BourkieBoy]

We are in Mongolia, a land of great contrasts! In the capital city, teams are departing on Leg 7!

ROUTE INFO: Fly to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe! When they land, they will need to make their way to Victoria Falls and continue the seventh leg of their journey!

Tim & Rod think the Jamaican bobsled team is from Zimbabwe 

The Deadly Duo are tired of Sid & Ash and are pissed off about being lied to!

When in Victoria Falls, they need to find a lady who will greet them with their clue!

Tom & Tyler overslept and have MISSED their Pit Stop departure! They went from 4th to 6th!

[Maanca]

Huh. Didn't know Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe had an airport. US and Israel flew into Livingstone, Zambia.

[BourkieBoy]

It took 24 hours and 15,000km to reach Zimbabwe from Mongolia!

The tribal woman spits on the teams and then gives them their next clue! 

ROUTE INFO: Make your way to Victoria Bridge in Zambia! They will need to travel to Batoka Sky Aerodome, where their next clue awaits!

It's a race between Tom & Tyler and Femi & Nick for last!

All teams are now in their taxis, they are in Zambia

Roadblock: Who does things to the letter? One member from each team must take a aeroflight over Victoria Falls and search for six letters: KIUNUM (MUKUNI)

[BourkieBoy]

Ash, Viv, Tyler, Femi, Jerome & Rod are doing the Roadblock!

Viv & Joey want to have an alliance with The Deadly Duo but not the Footy Boys!

After they land, the teams need to unscramble the six letters they found and then drive themselves to Mukuni Village! (TAR 1, Leg 2!)

Ash & Sid in 1st, Deadly Duo in 2nd, Jasmin is pissed that Jerome gave the answer to Viv & Joey, who keep the clue to themselves! 

Rod was up in the air for 30 minutes and can't find the 6th letter! They fly down and now need to wait at the back of the pack!

Commercials!

[BourkieBoy]

OK, so they've just announced that TAR Australia will be airing in the Summer, yet there's only TWO episodes announced for Summmer 2019-2020 

[BourkieBoy]

We're back!

Tim & Rod manage to get the Footy Boys help and they give them the missing letter!

Ash & Sid are unsure whether Mukuni means Mukuni Village or Mukuni Safari!

All teams end up going to Mukuni Safari and figure out the clue box is at Mukuni Village!

Ash & Sid want to walk together with the Deadly Duo, Jasmin isnt happy about it, but goes with it

Viv goes up to do the Roadblock, just to check and they are off to the Village!

Nick is done with the Roadblock quite quickly and they are catching up fast!

[BourkieBoy]

INTERSECTION: Play a traditional African instrument and perform a melody in perfect sync, to receive your next clue

Footy Boys are first there and they need to wait for another team to arrive! Footy Boys team up with Jasmin & Jerome and burn the Influencers!

Tom does a floss to the music! 

Tyler comments how the instrument is like a xynophone and how he didn't get his license in primary school! 

Tim & Rod arrive and they team up with the Influences!

[BourkieBoy]

Footy Boys and the Deadly Duo finish the Intersection!

DETOUR: Cultivate or Separate
Cultivate: My Ox Is Broken Switchback! 
Separate: Construct a diving fence between houses to receive your next clue

Footy Boys decide on Cultivate, while Deadly Duo decide on Separate!

Just a off comment here, but Mukuni Village gives me vibes of the Aboriginal community I visited in the Northern Territory in June! It's bringing back memories!

[BourkieBoy]

The Newlyweds decide on Cultivate!

Viv & Joey arrive and have to wait for Femi & Nick to arrive! They are in second to last place and Viv comments how they could be waiting for hours for Femi & Nick to arrive, because they have a bad sense of direction! 

Commercials!

[BourkieBoy]

We're back!

Sid & Ash have also chosen Separate! They are still pissed about Jasmine & Jerome being in front of them!

Tom & Tyler comment how the field ploughing is just like pre-season football training! 

The teams need to plough in straight lines! The farmer denies the Football Boys, Tyler argues with them and Tom comments how 'you never argue with the umpire' 

Tim & Rod finish 1st!

Teams find an iPad in their car, with messages from home! Tim & Rod receive one from their mothers! <3

[BourkieBoy]

ROUTE INFO: Make your way to the Livingstone Island Launch Site and board one of two tourist boats. Once on board, they will cruise down the Zambezi River to Livingstone Island and search for their next clue!

If teams miss either of the two boats, there will be a 45 minute wait for the next one!

Femi & Nick decide to do Cultivate! 

Tom & Tyler are approved! Tom & Tyler receive a message from AFL legend, Paul Roos (Tyler's dad)!

Jasmin & Jerome are in a rush and have broken one their plant legs!

Commercials! 

[Maanca]

Femi & Nick are becoming one of THOSE teams, it seems. That team who somehow just survives leg after leg.

Those start to annoy me after a while =/ Maybe it's just me.

[BourkieBoy]

We're back!

Tom & Tyler arrive at the Launch Site in 1st! They are on a boat with a UK family of four! 

They find their clue at the top of the most amazing waterfall in the world! They take a moment to look around, as they are clearly in First!

ROUTE INFO: Drive yourselves to the Elephant Cafe and search for Beau and your next Pit Stop! The last team to check-in, may be eliminated!

At the bottom, Tyler & Tom run into Tim & Rod and tell them to admire the view!

Viv & Joey finish the Detour in 5th! Femi & Nick are not far behind them!

[BourkieBoy]

Femi & Nick receive a message from their sisters and a mutual friend! I think Viv & Joey receive a message from a childhood friend or cousin?

Sid & Ash are in Last! They keep talking trash against Deadly Duo and it's getting very annoying

Jerome & Jasmine receive a message from their young son, Jerome's sisters and Jerome's mum!

Sid & Ash don't even watch their video and instead drive off to their next location! 

It's a race for First Place between the Footy Boys and the Newlyweds! Who come out on top?

Commercials!

[BourkieBoy]

We're back!

Tom & Tyler are actually neck and neck with Tim & Rod! This is going to be a foot race to mat!

Teams aren't allowed to run! If they do, they risk being trampled by an elephant! 

Tom & Tyler are first team to check in! No prize! 

Tim & Rod are the second team to check in!

Sid & Ash are arguing over where to store their car keys! Sid nearly slams the door on Ash 

[Maanca]

I'm just following along for now, but by the sounds of Sid's behaviour on this episode, I'm seeing the reason why his arrest happened.

[BourkieBoy]

Viv & Joey are the third team to check-in!

Jasmin & Jerome are driving on the wrong road! They are now not that far away from Sid & As and look be in last!

Commercials!

[BourkieBoy]

We are back!

Sid & Ash believe that they forgot that today's leg was a Race! 

Jasmin & Jerome are heading in the wrong direction and need to head back! They have been driving around for an hour!

Femi & Nick are the fourth team to check-in!

Jasmin & Jerome are now behind The Influences! This is a Race for last place now!

Sid & Ash doesn't allow Jasmin & Jerome to overtake them. Sid & Ash decides to drive onto the OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD to not let Jasmin & Jerome overtake them!

[BourkieBoy]

Sid & Ash are mucking around getting their bags! Jasmin & Jerome are 15 meters in front...

Jasmin & Jerome are the fifth team to check-in!

Sid & Ash are the last team to check-in! However, this leg is a predetermined NON-ELIMINATION LEG 

Sid & Ash need to change their racing ways and in quick smart!

Tomorrow night, on The Amazing Race Australia!

Show content

As our African Adventure continues, teams travel to Zimbabwe! Teams go back to school, to learn some hard lessons! But break the rules and you'll find yourself in detention!

[Jay33]

Hopefully Sid/Ash get eliminated tomorrow then.

[claude_24hrs]

Huh. Didn't know Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe had an airport. US and Israel flew into Livingstone, Zambia.

This airport and the airport in Livingstone, Zambia are 25 miles apart.

Since I don't watch (any) foreign TARs, the flight between Ulaanbaatar to VFA Zimbabwe has a numerous of connections via Hong Kong and Addis Ababa as it is a long flight over 6,900 miles long.

[ovalorange]

Ooft, in light of Ash & Sid's recent AVO this episode was not a good look for them. He was such an asshole to her the entire way through.

In saying that, I think this easily was the most drama filled episode of the season so far. I only hope the season can keep this pace up throughout the remaining legs.

The irony that the Detour that put them in last was called "Separate" (which they since have)

[Xoruz]

This was definitely the most full leg and the most drama-filled with everything going on with Sid & Ash. Victoria Falls is one of the most stunning locations TAR has ever gone to, and I want to go there every time I see it. However, these legs tend to steer into more travel porn than an actual race, but this episode had a pretty decent competition throughout.

[stunami]

I loved this leg 

It had everything: a detour, a roadblock and even an intersection.
Location was stunning!
I like every team left (I think Sid/Ash do bring something to the season even if he's an asshole).
I'm happy Viv/Joey are starting to realize that you can't keep helping Tyler/Tom because they win almost every time.

It was not very strategic for Jerome/Jasmin to do the intersection with them, it would have been smart to do it with their nemesis.
I really like Tim/Rod now they are adorable and funny (a bit clumsy/dummy with some of their quotes haha the Jamaica bobsleigh team hahaha)

It's really a miracle Femi/Nick are still there... they should have been out leg 2.

It looks like Sid/Ash will have a penalty next leg, wonder if that will do them in, or if they will survive.
TARA hasn't been super subtile with their previews and team's final moment (Rowah/Amani with the eating roadblock in Vietnam, the farmers with the camel, etc.)

EDIT: Just saw another commercial for tonight where it says that the influencers got a 1h penalty for speeding, they passed along the way Nick/Femi, Viv/Joey and Tim/Rod. Then we see Beau tell people (we don't see who) You are team # 2, 3 ,4 . and they make it look like the influencers are still waiting. Either it's tricky editing, or they just spoiled that the 3 teams we saw are team 2-3-4 and it's a battle for last place between the influencers and who ever is left.

[Musicon]

Very obvious non elimination leg so I just couldn't feel the suspense.  And didn't like teams being able to choose who they did the intersection with.  Too many "oh my god"s on the scenery.  It did have some self navigation which was good but I'd rather that was on an elimination leg.
