hello.....

Hi Julsrum13. Welcome back.

Am I thinking if there is another FAST FORWARD in this leg although Allan mentioned there was only one FF.

If the helicopter ride is a task that only one racer can get, it would be unfair to the other teams unless this is a FF.

What do y'all think?

Wow.. Good job Al-Hafyz.... May kababayan..hehehe

If this FF. Geoff and Tisha will not do the fish... Skip all the task..hehehe

Oh yes. I am so dumb You are making me so dumb Julsrums. Hehe

yes... if it is FF then they have to skip all tasks....

But geoff was doing task with fishes....

How about tania n ida doing FF.......

But alan said this is the only FF in the race.... so FF is already taken...

Also, Allan said that there's only one FF in this race like what you said..

20 mins. = flying time to hongkong via helicopter
1 hr. = sailing time to hongkong via ferry

Finally, when teams are faced with travelling to another country
without any direct flights, five teams take three different flights to
get to their destination. Sadly, one of the flights leaves a team far
behind than the others.

Hongkong to Singapore:

1st flight. CX739
departure: 11:20 am
arrival: 3:25 pm
>Geoff and Tisha

2nd flight. SQ863
departure: 1:30 pm
arrival: 5:20 pm
> Sam and Vince

3rd flight. CX735
departure: 2:20 pm
arrival: 6:10 pm
> A.D and Fuzzie, Henry and Bernie, Ida and Tania

Singapore to Cochin:

one of the flights leaves a team far
behind than the others.

1st flight:
It's Geoff and Tisha flight.. The Air India flight departs maybe at 6 pm and arrived in cochin at 9 pm...

2nd and 3rd flights:
The 4 teams ramains booked a flight MI468 that depart at 8:45 pm and arrived at 1:15 am(singapore time);;;;;;; 10:45 pm(cochin time).

Great Julsrum. That could be the flights they're going to take from Hong Kong

It's on

1. Get the next clue at St. Paul Ruins

2. Roadblock at Macau Tower - Its bungee jumping and NOT skyjump (Damn it, I received a tip they will go here but since I did not see it last week, I thought it was a hoax)

3. Only Geoff and Tisha are done with the roadblock. Only the first team to finish the RB gets the heli ride. It went to Tisha and Geoff.The rest takes ferry.

4. Go to Hong Kong and find a Maskargo store.

5. Ida and Tania are 2 hour behind

6. Sam, AD, Bernie and Tania all did the RB

7. In Hong Kong, find a Maskargo box containing a letter from a family member.

8. G/T are now on board to India. Sam/Vince found their box.

9. Sam and Vince can't get a direct flight to Cochin. They are connecting to Mumbai

10. Sam/Vince were able to convince Henry and Bernie to take the same flight.

11. Tania/Ida and AD/Fuzzie are on the same flight - HK-Mumbai-Cochin

12. S/V and H/B missed the connecting flight in Mumbai

13. Wash an elephant

14. DETOUR: Fish or Fill;;;;; Fish-deliver a swordfish to a restaurant and in FILL - fill a pottery with a coloured rice

Waaa. I am so alone here. No one wants to help me. Why?

15. S/V and HB just arrived in Cochin

16. S/V are ahead of H/B

17. G/T are leading.

18. G/T and I/T are racing for first

19. H/B and S/V are fighting for the fourth the place

20. G/T are first and I/T have to wait 30 minute as a penalty for checking in last in the previous leg

21. S/V picked fish and H/B picked Fill

1st - GT
2nd- AD
3rd- IT
4th -SV
5th HB - ELIMINATED

OMFG that was unexpected! I knew it the bungee was a roadblock. :)

This is the most unpredictable leg so far. The video editor were able to hide the twist of the game in the preview

Yes, jk. I knew you always said it was the roadblock. I never expected that HB will be eliminated this early. What I thought was they finished fourth overall.

I was never expecting it too, jon. But a tiny part of me kinda wanted them to be eliminated haha.

That was a leg dictated by luck.

Released from the Macau pit stop

1. Geoff and Tisha - 4:04 AM
2. Sam and Vince - 4:14 AM
3. AD and Fuzzie - 5:40 AM
4. Henry and Bernie - 6: 04 AM
5. Ida and Tania - 8:13 AM

we are right that the pitstop is the BOLGATTY PALACE

For me, it's more of a karma.

For sure the next roadblock will be still in India.

jk, can you describe what you have seen in the preview?

I havent seen it yet jon. Haha. Sorry.

1) geoff and tisha riding some sort of a vehicle
2) ida and tania pushing something with flower pots on top
3) geoff and tisha playing cricket
4) sam and vince laughing out loud facing someone i think (a pitstop?)
5) sam and vince grinding bamboo i think
6) ad and fuzzie seems to be choosing one of the guys wearing turban? standing there

sorry, i dont think i described it well but here goes

Thank you Heartz, so it is INDIA again.

yeap its india

I feel the elimination of Henry and Bernie a little unfair for them since they never came in last in the last two non-eliminations leg. I feel like they sacrificed to let Ida and Tania in the final 4.

I don't think they sacrificed this leg for Ida & Tania.. it's just that the luck is not in their side this time.. plus, they agreed to team up with Sam & Vince in the flight thingy.. so It's their fault for making not a wise decision...

Please don't blame others team Jon :).. Eventhough I'm sad H&B is gone, but still I'm happy I&T is still in.. I have the feelings that I&T will go very very far..

Err, I said I "FEEL". I did not say they "REALLY" sacrificed.

the helicopter thingy was very unfair... if there is no helicopter ride... Sam & Vince will maybe team up with Geoff and Tisha instead of Henry & Bernie.... besides that Henry & Bernie was run out of luck... hope that Ida & Tania will continue the journey for Henry & Bernie....

Oh, sorry Jon.. :).. I misread it ..

I agree with the helicopter is unfair.. but emm, I couldn't believe that Ida & Tania still manage to chase G&T and switching first place with them.. It's so awesome to see one very competitive race..

i didn't watch that part of the race... very disappointed... :confused: :confused: but i was happy to know that Ida & Tania gave a hell of a fight to Geoff & Tisha... in the beginning of the leg the girls were 4 hours and 45 minutes behind the leader...

I also mentioned earlier that if the helicopter ride is part of the task and only one team can avail of it, it is indeed very unfair. This is like the mast climbing in Macau Tower where the other racers were prevented to scale the outer portion of the tower.

There was bunching in India because of hours of operations. That was the factor that made AD/Fuzzie and Ida/Tania to catch up.

But between Ida/Tania and Henry/Bernie, I would prefer to keep Ida/Tania in the race:miss_saber15:

I agree with you Jon, I wish next leg will be so much competitive than this one..

Oh my gawd. What a shock. Bernie and Henry got eliminated. We got it right about the MASKargo product placement.

Congrats Banzai. Credits to you. You were the source of that. Good job.

Not yet JK. If Banzai don't upload it then we don't have something to work on. LOL

Oh okay jon. I am excited for next week's episode! But not really about next week's resumption of school! Hahaha! Will be waiting for the preview :)

Onam is the biggest and the most important festival of the state of Kerala. It is a harvest festival and is celebrated with joy and enthusiasm all over the state by people of all communities. According to a popular legend, the festival is celebrated to welcome King Mahabali, whose spirit is said to visit Kerala at the time of Onam.



This Kolam is made up of flowers seen in front of all houses at the time of Onam....

OMG, Sprity. You are right with this. Good job buddy. This one of the detours. Why did we not dig much on this?

I thought it was 2:22PM in my last spoiler. It's 8:22AM actually. This is where the taxi driver got some mobile petrol.



Ida's watch is 8:35AM at the Fill Detour.



So they checked in between 9:30AM - 10AM plus a 30-minute penalty.

So, we are right with our wind theory. They checked in before noon. Thanks Banzai.
