The Amazing Race Asia 3 : Episode 8

.
It's the 8th leg with 3 remaining legs to go. Someone will definitely be eliminated tonight!

I had butterflies in my stomach while watching the show and writing the report at the same time. It felt as if I was there running alongside with the contestants!

Episode 8 recap.

8th leg - Ama Cultural Village, Coloane Island ~ Ruins of St. Paul, Macau

Make your way to the entrance of Macau Tower

Roadblock (only one person may perform task)
  • Bungee Jump off the Macau Tower

Geoff and Tish (team Philippines) were the first to complete the task and rewarded with a flight to Hong Kong by helicopter

The rest of the teams will have to travel by ferry to Hong Kong

Go to MASkargo Warehouse and search for team's box, each team member gets a letter from their families

Travel to Cochin, India and find the temple at Neelamkulangara (unsure of spelling) for their next clue

Make your way to the front of the temple, receive blessings by the priest to get their next clue

Take a taxi to the Elephant Washing Grounds at SPS temple in Kumbalam

Wash the elephant using the traditional way by using coconut husks

Detour
Fish ~ Haul 6 large fish (Marlin) to a Seafood Restaurant
or

  1. I knew deep in my heart that Bernie and Henry would be eliminated after that flight screw up ... sigggghhhh, at least got one Malaysia team still left and Fuzzy and AD also still there. They're quite funny too ... Hope Ida & Tania make it all the way to the finals. They did a great job of catching up.

  3. Nick ~ I had a feeling too and was devastated when they came in last. They shouldn't have followed Sam & Vince's flight. Oh well... what's done is done ya.

    Ya, I'm glad for Ida and Tania too. AD and Fuzzie are amazing! :)

  5. Sia nangis bah when Allan told them they have been eliminated. dari mula smpai akhir tu episode, mcm sia ada sana ikut durang belari. when they gaduh at the maskargo, i also felt it. mcm mo marah durang cos they wasted time arguing. :(

    well, memang bukan luck durang lah.
    good luck to tania and ida....yg sia suka durang dua ni, very hepi2 bah.

    i actually dont hate the phi's team. tish is a sweet girl but si geoff tu bah yg dr awal2 season so annoying. but i can see now he's aware of that and more nicer than before. salute sama tish cos she's very strong. sanggup bah angkat tu merlin...

  8. Carol ~ Yeah, it was frustrating seeing them fight looking for the box. I guess they were reali pressured by being 2nd last kan.

    Sia mimang sedih ba Carol, masa sia type nama diorang kana eliminated, ish, my jantung macam kuyak rabak seja tapi apa buli buat kan :*(

    Well, at least Geoff is treating Tish better. She is very2 patient with him, kalu sia, lama suda sia lempang muka dia, biadap tul ba sometimes.

  9. Marzie ~ It's an exciting show plus all the drama and suspense, give it a chance... it'll grow on you, that's for sure :)

    Yup, one team down, one more team left (Ida and the ever bubbly Tania)! I do hope they make it to the final.

  10. Arneta ~ Sia pun sama juga, macam sia pun ikut belari... hehe

    Yeah, he is. I guess being 2nd last reali stepped up the pressure. Ya, I'm oso rooting for Ida and Tania and the Singapore girls :D

  11. Oh well, at least there is still a Malaysian team still n contention. My respects for Ida & Tania has gone up considerably. They did a pretty good job of overcoming the odds to stay in the race.

  12. Mat Dingo ~ I didn't think they could pull it off but they certainly proved me wrong. Hats off to them for their 'never say die attitude' and they're a bunch of happy-go-lucky mamas aren't they :)

    Go Ida & Tania!
