The Amazing Race Asia 3 : Episode 9

.
2 legs to go before the winner is revealed. That's just 2 weeks from now. Sighhh... it has been quite a race and it's going to end soon. I feel rather sad. I'm still heartbroken Bernie and Henry got eliminated last week :*(

Still, we have to move on... as the race is not over yet. I'm glad Ida and Tania is still in the game. 4 teams left so in this episode, I'm guessing they may have the intersection.

The Intersection, requires each team to pair up with other team and perform all tasks and make decisions together until further notice.

Just about 5 hours to go before the show starts. I decided to publish this earlier and add in the details later. Heroes 3 is also showing tonight right after TARA 3 so I have to be real quick.

Episode 9 recap.

9th leg - Bolgatty Palace, Cochin ~ Pune, India

Fly to Mumbai and travel to Pune, make your way to Jawaharlal Nehru Cricket Stadium to get the next clue

Play a game of Cricket with the locals, teams must hit the boundary with 36 tries. Failure to do so result in a 10 minute time penalty

Using the Map Application on a Nokia 6210 navigator, teams must guide their auto rickshaw driver to their next destination for their next clue

Roadblock (only one person may perform task) ~ Who Has The Better Pheta?
  • Search through a field of 50 men wearing a pheta, and locate the correct pheta with the word "Correct" written inside
Travel by auto rickshaw to Sony World showroom, Equity Tower in Aundh

Get someone to tell a joke (capture it on video). A panel of 6 judges must find the joke funny in order for the teams to get their next clue

Detour


Push ~ Transport 75 clay pots from Datta Shinde Pottery shop to Rajkumar Provision Store (1km away)
or
Crush ~ Crush sugarcane to get 40 glasses of juice and sell 200 rupees worth of drinks

Make your way to Desai Bahndhu Ambewal (U-Turn ahead)

A team that gets a U-Turn must complete a Detour task they did not take (therefore, team must complete both detours)

Geoff & Tisha (Philippines) U-Turned A.D. & Fuzzie (Singapore)

Pit Stop : Gokhale Institute of Politics & Economics

  1. Vince & Sam (Hong Kong) ~ each wins an N96 phone

  1. That's an early post :D It is sad to see Bernie & Henry go but that's the way the game is played. I'm rooting for Ida & Tania or maybe even Fuzzy and A.D ... :D

  2. Phew, for a moment there I thought A.D & Fuzzie were done for. And it's really a pity that Ida & Tania didn't have their pix with them to U-turn those two annoying people. And I'm sure you know who I'm talking about :D

  3. I was so nervous watching this episode,afraid that Ida & Tania got eliminated. If only they got their pix with them...i can imagine how Geoff will react being U-turned.

    Lucky for A.D & Fuzzie, it's non-elimination leg,otherwise it's over for them..

  8. Nick ~ Those two were really lucky that Ida and Tania didn't have their pix with them, if not, they definitely would have been U-Turned.

  14. Emila ~ Yeah, they're very determined indeed. I love their positive attitude. I have discounted them when they came in last in the previous episode. They're bubbly too, which is fun to watch :)
