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:

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.

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.

I don't have to, it's my own belief that they didn't win 4 legs in a row. I don't need to convince someone else that they won 4 legs in a row just because i have to, i'm not that childish.

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.

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.

The hate thread? :laff:

Ray showed me that.

They are just growing old for me. We know they are a strong team, that is obvious. Now that Daichi and Sawaka are gone, I'll be rooting for an all female final 3. =D

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.
