The Amazing Race Asia 3 : Episode 2

The 2nd episode was aired for 90 minutes, wow, that was unexpected! But even if it went for 2 hours, I'd gladly watch it :)

Here's a short recap of episode 2.

9 teams remain. 2nd leg - Chiang Mai, Thailand to Mae Kong Phong
  • Take the Flight Of The Gibbon (glide down a cable ala Flying Fox)
Sathit Buarawong Banana Plantation
Roadblock (only one person may perform task)
  • Find Backpack
  • Avoid being shot by Paintball Snipers
Fly to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
  • Find cluebox at Saigon Opera House
Saigon Pho Cafe
  • Play a video game 'System Rush Evolution' using a Nokia N82 Handphone
Henry's funny antics left me in stitches :)

Ben Thanh Market
  • Find a flower stall (Shuwan Kwong Fresh Flower)
Travel by bus to the Cai Be Bus Terminal

Detour
Sampan or Some Walk (Catch Chickens and deliver to market)

Travel by bus to Thanh Nu Jeanne D'Arc Vang Nan Church, Ho Chi Minh city
  • Donate US500 to a friend in need (from Singha). Teams choose one of 9 charity organization reps and purchase supplies
Saigon Post Office

Pit stop : The Museum of Vietnamese History
  1. Bernie & Henry (Malaysia) Winner of this leg wins free fuel with Techron for a year, courtesy of Caltex
  2. A.D. & Fuzzie (Singapore)
  3. Vince & Sam (Hong Kong)
  4. Niroo & Kapil (India)
  5. Geoff & Tisha (Philippines)
  6. Ida & Tania (Malaysia)
  7. Pailin & Natalie (Thailand)
  8. Mai & Oliver (Thailand)
  9. Will & Isaac (South Korea) - Eliminated!
During the show, Natalie (of team Thailand) made a statement... 'Being dirty is the lowest form of human existence.' What did she expect the race to be? I pity Pailin.

    Geez, I was tired just watching them slog it out. What a crazy Amazing Race it has been so far. One of the toughest I must say.

    And boy watching them try to catch chickens was a riot la. I may be a city boy but I sure know how to catch chickens ... LOL!

    I'm looking forward to next weeks installment :D

    Oh if Natalie is scared of dirty, she shouldn't participate in the first place esp. in such kind of competition.

    Hi Nessa, regret I have not seen these shows, or others like 'survivors' etc....guess I'm more just the 'Lonely Planet' and late night movies kind...but lately have been engrossed with US politics, re Sarah Palin.

    Fun to see how she turns out...and sales of eye glasses same ones as her's are flying off the shelves.

    Interesting blog you have Nessa. Not to mention an attractive author too, ha ha.
    You keep well and have a great weekend. Lee.

    Dora ~ Yeah, I guess she didn't even watch the earlier races, what Amazing Race is about.

    I don't understand why she couldn't sleep at the airport when her team mate (who is also a beauty queen) has no trouble sleeping at all. Nat's diva attitude could spoil it for the team. I do hope they'll stay longer in the race though :)

    Ethel ~ Haha... Pailin is OK, Nat is a bit of a drama queen... complaining seja. But kudos to them for completing the 'some walk' task. That was hard carrying chickens all the way to the market.

    Carol ~ What??! You missed it! Alaaa... kesian. The repeats are on Saturday and Sunday but I'm unsure of the time cos this leg is shown for 1 1/2 hours!

    Sting ~ Henry may look tough and all but he's a softie at heart (the part where he cried). I mean, it's not easy to find a man cry like dat in public.

    He was also hilarious when Bernie scolded him during the chicken catching task... where he said, 'chicken stew, fried chicken' while patting the chicken :D

    Regina ~ Yakah? Well, I hope you do get a glimpse of the show through this post :)

    The Malaysians are pretty good. They got 1st place for this leg and the other team, they were in 6th place. Not bad kan :D

    U.Lee ~ Hi Uncle Lee! :) Oh, I used to love 'Survivor' but I got bored after the 3rd or was it the 4th season...

    I'm not into politics, I follow a bit but not engrossed... you know la Malaysian politics these days... like a comedy!

    Thanks for the kind words U. Lee. Do drop by when you can. You have a great week ahead.

    Carol ~ Oh, that's great :D Syiok kan the 2nd leg... very mencabar! I saw the repeats on Sunday at 7.30pm til 9.30pm.

    I think AXN ada banyak kali show the repeats... I don't subscribe to Astro magazine so I dunno the time of those repeats.
