Comments!!!

Okay, I like Marc and Rovilson and everything, but their luck is just, as Rovilson says, "retarded". I don't hate them. I hate their luck.

Adrian/Collin: Why not YIELD them Huh

!? I mean, give yourselves a first place!!!

Henry/Terri: Kami/Karli-style placings or what?! 9th-9th-5th-7th-6th-3rd. Forget my pre-race list conspiracy theory, here comes the Kami/Karli trend!!! :laff:

They mellowed down this episode, so I commend them on that.

Pam/Vanessa: Pamela was right!!! Vanessa, make the taxi run as fast as possible!!! A little slower and Paula/Natasha would've beaten them. I didn't realize how close they were.

Ann/Diane and Sawaka/Daichi battling to avoid last? I was nearly holding back tears. Sad

Who would've known that the spoiler of the surviving teams in the Final 6 would still hold true even if there was a confusion in the order of the Japan/Korea legs?

Anyways, I feel like I visited TAR 4 and TAR 6 this leg. The taekwondo and lock/key challenge was very redundant, yet nostalgic. That's, hmm...TAR 5, TAR 3, TARA 1, TAR 4 and TAR 6 copied. A few more seasons left. :laff:

*cue the Marc/Rovilson hate/like bashes*

Marc and Rovilson didn't get 4 fourth placings in a row, there's a TBC in the middle. The TBC restarted all the leg wins countings.

I was looking on wikipedia. Did Henry/Terri actually use the yield on Marc/Rovilson who were in front of them? How stupid... :laff:

Popo, the TBC did NOT re-start all the leg win countings. The 5th and 6th episodes count as 1 long leg. One leg is technically from 1 pit stop to another pit stop. Fukuoka was NOT a pit stop. It was merely a place where the racers received another clue.

Anyway, did anyone notice that there was no announcement as to what the winners of this particular leg won (if there was any prize at all)?

IMO, it has always been counted as one leg, but it is often considered as two separate legs.

They had no prize this leg.

They probably think that Marc and Rovilson doesn't need any more trips or what. What they neep is a tape to shut them up. :laff:

And no, Marc and Rovilson didn't come in four times in a row, they only came in three times, 2nd at the TBC leg, and first again.

And Philippines team yielding Philippines team, now that's something. :laff:

It was all one leg because they never actually stopped at the mat in Japan because it was not the pitstop which means Rovilson and Marc did get 4 in a row.

Quote from benw.blogspot.com:

"First and foremost, congrats to Marc and Rovilson for being the only team ever to arrive in 1st place four legs in a row. It's better than any Eric/Jeremy, BJ/Tyler or Romber performance. 4 out of 5 legs!"

Now, Popo, we all know how much you hate Marc and Rovilson. I respect your right to be subjective in how you view them. I myself think that having them win 4 straight legs make for very boring TV. BUT, let's not take away credit when it is due.

They won 4 straight legs. 'Nuff said.

Nobody really cares about what benw.blogspot.com writes. I don't even know it existed until you showed me the link.

With that said, i'll make Marc and Rovilson's placings sound nicer -

FIRST FIRST FIRST TBC FIRST.

So that's 3 legs in a row + TBC + 1 leg.

Where does the 4 legs in a row come from, when there's 5 legs in actual? :laff:

How right you are, beepbop.

It is very clear that one leg is from 1 pit stop to another pit stop.

Just because 1 leg is edited much longer than other legs doesn't mean that the longer leg should be considered 2 legs. This is soooo illogical.

The standings at the TBC do matter, and I agree that it messes up their record.

There might not have been a pitstop, but they didn't get to Phil first. The record still hasn't been beaten. Tongue

Yes, TARA2 already had 5 legs, 4 normal ones, and 1 superleg. M/R won 4 out of the 5 legs in the race.

Definition of a "Leg":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Race#Race_legs

------------

Anyway, M/R had superluck in that leg. It would be hilarious though if their luck run out before the final leg and got eliminated by a luck task, or a taxi.

Henry and Terri... Roll Eyes

Yielding M/R? Well at least they proved that you can use the Yield on ANYONE, even on teams ahead of you. Not that it would make a difference.

I didn't want Daichi/Sawaka to be eliminated, you could see that Sawaka really wanted to do the Race. They just kept "slipping" in their position. But the Final 6 teams are the most competitive of the lot so they all deserve their placings their. btw, can the Japanese siblings speak Korean? or were they speaking Japanese and the people there understand a bit of it (like a second language)?

Still not sure where the Ann/Diane hate is coming from.

Fun episode!

You are right JP. TARA-2 already has 5 legs: 4 normal ones and 1 superleg/ I checked JP's link to wikipedia and TAR rules indeed read that: a leg only finishes when the members of a team step on a check-in mat "at a designated pit stop." Since Fukuoka clearly was NOT a pit stop, the leg continued until its end in Busan, Korea.

Thus, the 1st leg was won by Pamela/Vanessa (Manila-Fort Santiago) and the next 4 legs were won by M/R (1.Manila-Paco Park, 2.New Zealand, 3.New Zealand, 4.Busan, South Korea). All in all a total of 5 legs spread out to 6 episodes.

Popo, if you can show me a written rule that a TBC is equivalent to 1 leg, then I'll accede. I'm betting that you can't.

Either you're trying to convince people of your beliefs, or you're just stating your opinion, which is what everyone else is doing all along. Anyway, a debate is good. There's nothing childish about debates. Actually, childish people are the ones who can't come in a debate without getting emotional and calling what other people are doing childish. Wink

Lol.. they won 4 legs in a row! i thinkt he production team are tired handing them prizes so they decided to stop for a leg. Tongue

i am pretty sick and tired looking at them seeking attention everywhere even at the temple. I think it's a mistake to even include them in the race.

I am sad to see Daichi and Sawaka go.. they are jus so nice and sweet! but it's ok. They tried their best. just that others were more scheming than them like ann and diane. Sad

Terri and Henry... totally speechless. They actually thought that they would be faster than Marc and Rovilson.

Argh! Marc and Rovilson are first again! I totally CANNOT believe their luck at the Roadblock. Oh by the way, WONDERFUL disguises on their part, I'm SURE that the other teams did not recognize them one bit. Roll Eyes

I was so happy that Collin and Adrian overtook Marc and Rovilson to the Yield! It doesn't matter that they didn't yield Marc and Rovilson though. After all, it's not like they were battling for last place or something. Sigh, I did think that they could get a first place this leg, especially since they finished the Detour first and all that but they were overtaken by Marc and Rovilson. Oh, did Collin and Adrian really steal their cab? I wasn't paying total attention there. Nevertheless, they raced well, I still love them, and I'm proud of them!

I was really sad when it came down to Ann and Diane and Sawaka and Daichi to battle for last place. I like both teams and although I knew it was quite impossible, I was actually hoping for a Terri/Henry elimination instead. Of course I'd have rather Ann and Diane stayed over Sawaka and Daichi, but the siblings' elimination was a rather tearful one too. Hee. Oh, why would anyone believe that they had to go back to the airport for their next clue? Lol.

I'm hoping that Marc and Rovilson do not come in first place again next leg. Ah whatever, really, as long as they just don't win the race. Heh.

Popo, I stated my opinion that M/R won 4 legs in a row and I backed up my opinion by quoting a written rule which supports my opinion.

You, on the other hand, stated your opinion and offered no written rule to back it up.

When someone lacks objectivity -- that's being childish.

Popo, I'm not trying to fight with you. I'm just saying that I know you dislike M/R and I respect your right to dislike them. I respect your right to think of them as "cocky" or "arrogant" or whatever else you might want to call them. BUT let's give them credit for winning 4 legs in a row -- 3 normal legs and 1 super leg (again, I base my opinion on the written official TAR Rules as provided for in wikipedia.org)

IN MY OPINION -

Marc and Rovilson came in SECOND on the FIRST LEG, FIRST on the SECOND LEG, FIRST on the THIRD LEG, FIRST on the FOURTH LEG, SECOND on the FIFTH TBC LEG and FIRST again on the SIXTH LEG.

That's 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1. It's SIMPLE mathematics, do i have to put it ANY SIMPLER?

There's 6 EPISODES up to now for TARA. Marc and Rovilson won FOUR out of SIX EPISODES. If that makes it sound BETTER and MORE convincing for YOU.

TAKE IT or LEAVE IT. I will never SEE IT as THEM winning FOUR legs in a ROW because of the TBC. If they had came in FIRST at the FAKE PITSTOP, then i WOULD have given them the credit, but they DIDN'T.

And WHO SAYS the TBC leg isn't a PITSTOP. Go REWATCH it AGAIN. When ALLAN WU announced to the teams to MAKE THEIR WAY THERE, he said TEAMS HAVE TO NOW TRAVEL TO THE PITSTOP, instead of "FIND ALLAN". So IT'S A PITSTOP for the TBC leg, since ALLAN WU said it HIMSELF DURING the SHOW. GET IT?

And in TAR 7, TAR 8, TAR 9, TAR 10, they included TBCs as a SINGLE LEG on their LEADERBOARDS on the CBS website. They will blank OUT the WHOLE ROW as BLACK for that PARTICULAR TBC LEG. Thus, Marc and Rovilson, DIDN'T win FOUR legs in a ROW. Rather, THEY WON 3 legs in a ROW, and because of the TBC, their RECORD was DROPPED.

And NO, even if it's my favourite teams in this SITUATION, i'll still THINK they only win THREE in a ROW - Because i DON'T love my teams BLINDLY without a REASON.

You want OBJECTIVITY? You want back up? I offered TWO above. Take it, OR leave it. As i've said. NOW, stop the ARGUMENT because this is JUST a DIFFERING in PERCEPTIONS, and if it was to CONTINUE, this will NEVER STOP.

THANK YOU.

Popo, TAR rules are clear and written. A leg is from 1 pit stop to another pit stop. A pit stop is a "mandatory rest period" (again, you just have to read the TAR rules as stated in wikipedia.org). This never happened in Fukuoka.

I'm not arguing with you, my dear Popo. I'm merely stating a fact.

It seems you're the one who doesn't want to make this stop.

And, oh yes, you're most welcome Cheesy

I know you probably hate me already as much, if not more, than M/R (if this is true, please know that the feeling is definitely NOT mutual). But, Popo, I urge you to just read the written TAR rules at wikipedia.org. It will enlighten you as to what "a leg" is; what "a pit stop" is; what a "super leg" is. The rules are all there. You just have to read it for yourself.

Now if after you've read the written rules and you still feel that a TBC is a leg, then at least give us a concrete, logical, and educated basis for your opinion.

Lol...this time, I kinda agree with Popo. There was a mat. If this were like the TAR 6 and TAR 10 TBC legs where there was no mat in-between, then okay, they won four legs. But the thing is, there was a mat. Thus, technically, it was a Pitstop. So technically, they won 3 and placed 2nd, then won again. Statistically speaking, however, they won 4 legs in a row. So, congrats to them for that.

In other news, congrats to JJ/Z for having the highest average out of all TARA all-female teams. Grin

Hi Raymond. I'm just basing my side on the fact that TAR rules clearly provide that a leg is from 1 pitstop to another pitstop. Again, I refer to the TAR rules provided for in the wikipedia.org link which was given by JP. A pitstop is termed as "a mandatory rest period". Obviously, there was none in Fukuoka. It was an extra-long leg or, what TAR rules describe as a "super leg." Again, the written rules are there for you to read.

I know that. Wink

I just count them as that for my own purpose, thus the whole statistically speaking part. I know that it's a fact that they won 4 legs in a row, but I still count superlegs as two separate legs because had the producers researched more on begging in Hungary, there might've been no TBC legs, hence the whole technically part.

Hope I made that clear. Grin

Popo, just to make it clear.

We are talking about legs, not episodes.

If you insist that 1 leg = 1 episode, I'm sorry, but Leg 5 was for 2 episodes, Episode 5 and Episode 6. If Leg 5 ended in Episode 5, then they should've taken the 12 hour mandatory rest period.

Did they even stop for 12 seconds as soon as Phil gave them the clue?

Please just accept the truth that the team you hate the most actually broke the record. I'm sorry.

By the way, would you deny the fact that a team won 4 legs if it was, say, Henry/Terri in the situation of Marc/Rovilson?

zippo, i don't give a damn about what wikipedia says. =)

The concrete, logical and educated reason? - They came in 3 times 1st in a row, followed by 2nd on a TBC, and 1st on the leg after the TBC. How did that come as 4 legs in a row when there's 6 episodes and 6 different legs for teams to run in so far.

You also ask Jejo if he read everything that you posted. Well, my dear Popo, have you read the written TAR rules the link of which was provided earlier? I guess you haven't because you just said that "you didn't give a damn about it." I'd hate to think that, perhaps, you are afraid to read it for fear of being proven wrong.

Again, it is clear that 1 episode does NOT and will NEVER equal 1 leg. We are talking about legs NOR episodes. 1 leg is from 1 pit stop to another pit stop. You say that you "have provided evidences (sic)" on your theory, I do not think that you have presented any concrete one thus far to contradict the clear written rule that 1 leg is from 1 pit stop to another pit stop considering that TAR and TARA episodes announce verbally that "a pit stop is a mandatory rest period." Jejo himself was correct when he pointed out that there was NOT even a 12-second rest in Fukuoka.

As such, it is clear that M/R (the team you hate most) has won 4 legs in a row -- more wins in a row, I believe, that any team in TAR/TARA history.

Oh my gosh, everyone, calm down, who really cares how many legs Marc/Rovilson have won?! Let's just say they've won a LOT. Grin

Anyway, why exactly did Henry/Terri yield Marc/Rovilson? Did they really think that they could slow down a team in front of them? Although Collin/Adrian should have used it, I can see why they didn't, it would just cause more reason for M/R to be mad at them...

Sad to see Daichi/Sawaka gone, but I still don't get the hate for Ann/Diane.

Hi Heather. I myself can't get the deal with H/T yielding M/R. I can't even tell whether or not it was done tongue-in-cheek?

As regards the A/D hate, I guess we'd have to see the dynamics of the teams during the pit stops to have a bigger picture. One thing is telling though: during the ferry trip from Fukuoka to Busan, all the teams were shown swapping stories and having a good time with each other (I caught M/R, C/A, H/T, D/S, N/P, and P/V grouped together) BUT I didn't see A/D with the group. Now, this is just a guess and I'm just basing this on that short clip of the time they had on the ferry BUT it could be that, during breaks (i.e., on trips, while waiting for flights, etc.) or during pit stops, A/D just keep to themselves OR are not as friendly towards the other teams as much as the other teams are with each other.

I was also quite sad to see D/S go.

Also, why is it that it was only M/R's taxi driver that delivered his passengers to the APEC House front door? The rest of the taxi drivers delivered their passengers at the side which necessitated most of the teams to walk a longer distance and to even climb over a closed gate. Plus, upon entering the main door of the APEC House, one of the APEC House personnel even directed M/R where to go thereby overtaking C/A.

I already told you that i have my reasonings for not viewing them to win FOUR LEGS IN A ROW because what they did was to come in FIRST 3 times in a row, 2nd on a TBC and then FIRST again. Where did the four legs in a row come from? I don't even need to read something to prove myself wrong, thank you.

I've already gave my takes on this, they tied with Romber, Colin/Christie and BJ and Tyler for winning three legs in a row. What you can hope for though is that they win the next 3 legs again so that they really win 4 legs in a row. Other than that, they still only won three legs in a row for now. And the record hasn't been broken.

I'm tired of this and i'm going to stop this once for all. Bring everything into the PM. This is going to be my last post discussion on whether this slimey, irritating, attention seeking, totally horrible team has won 4 legs in a row or what. Please stop all these. My PM still has space for many more messages. Wink

Wow. Its amazing how one can hate A/D just because he didnt see them mingling with the other teams. From what I know, they are portrayed as a nice team ever since the start from the race.

And Zippo, there's no need to go all out to contradict someone's opinion. We know you like M/R, so just stop there and not carry on anymore.

I just watched this episode and thought this leg was pretty crappish.

Marc and Rovilson -
Hell, i don't hate them now. I simply loathe them with an extreme passion. Fake moustache and trying to hide? I don't find that funny. HA HA HA. Blocking up the entire road, and turning to the camera and saying "This is chaos, amazing race asia"? What do they think this is? Their own sports show that they are hosting? If they love to camwhore with the camera, do it on their own show, stop bring their ATTENTION SEEKING anthics onto this race because not all viewers enjoy watching two childish males acting as immature as they can be. Oh no, they aren't acting, they are probably just being themselves. Can't blame them. I also don't blame them for having retarded luck, cause retarded luck are for retarded people.

Collin and Adrian -
I thought if Marc and Rovilson was in their position, they would have taken the taxi too. And i'm glad that they didn't Yield Marc and Rovilson, simply because Singaporeans are nice. What does Marc and Rovilson think about "I think they are definitely going to Yield us", well, they didn't, did they? I think only people like Marc and Rovilson who has such a competitive nature and evil spirit will think of all people to be "wanting" to Yield them. And when they didn't Yield them? - they said they probably felt bad about stealing their cab. Hello, guys, they didn't steal your cab, they simply got on it BEFORE you two could. If you have booked the taxi or asked the cab driver to wait for you and Adrian and Collin still took the cab, then i rightfully say they steal your cab, but they didn't did they? Marc and Rovilson are seriously getting on my nerves and i would hate to see them win. I'm so gonna lose all purpose in watching such shows if an extremely pathetic team like them won.

Henri and Terri -
I'm loving them more, and i understand why they wanted to Yield the two guys. But they need to be a little more strategic. P.S: They are so sweet to each other and worked so well together this leg!

Pamela and Vanessa -
99.9% of the time they are whining. I don't hate them, but i find them extremely annoying.

Paula and Natasha -
I still love them, and had no idea where the Ann and Diane hate is coming from them.

Ann and Diane -
I still believe these two moms can do anything.

Sawaka and Daichi -
Sad to see them go, but i seriously think they killed themselves by going for the wrong Detour. It was a bad bad choice.

The Detour was unfair, one being too easy, one too hard. The Roadblock was crap, the route markers this leg was lame. Overall, this is a bad leg IMO.

By the way, i think the final three teams are -
Marc and Rovilson
Henry and Terri
Ann and Diane

Fourth OR Fifth -
Natasha and Paula
Adrian and Collin

Sixth -
Pamela and Vanessa (too little edit over the legs)

Adrian and Collin had fairly little share of edit too. I believe it should be either of them eliminated next. Sad

Really, Popo? You could've fooled me (joke).

Seriously though, in the face of yet another generalization from you, most of the Singaporeans I've met are, indeed, nice (with the exception of an airport cab driver who drove for me last August when I was in Singapore).

Speaking of "NICE", Team S/D was too nice (if I were in their position, I would have yielded A/D -- a team that they were sure was behind them).

Popo, I do agree with you about your Final 3 (M/R, H/T, and A/D). That would be a nice Final Leg because you'll have 1 all male team battling 1 mixed team battling 1 all female team. However, I would say that C/A is such a strong team that I wouldn't be surprised if they were in the Final 3. I would even rank the Final 3 as follows: M/R and C/A as odds-on favorites while the last spot would be a toss-up between H/T and A/D. As to who'd win? I'm of the opinion that if a team is in the Final 3, all bets are off and any team has as much a chance as the others.

By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND SUNDRY!!!
