AZAR KA KAYA? HENDE KAYA? TAR 12 LEG 7

Oh my God!!! It was a melancholic Monday for me. Hu hu hu…

At the start of the leg. teams were instructed to fly 900 miles to Dubrovnik, Croatia and travel to the base of the Fort of St. Lawrence.

I love the airport drama this time coz it made me uneasy watching my fav team begging to have an earlier flight to Croatia.

TK & Rachel formed a short alliance at the airport and seached the internet for flights.

Meanwhile, Ronald & Christina reserved a flight in a nearby hotel and booked seasts on LOT Polish Air departing Vilnius at 6:25am and landing in Dubrovnik at 11:20am.
But when they arrived at the airport, they still queued at the ticket counter of Czech Airlines which has an earlier flight at 6am and landing at 11:20am for assurance.
When my fav siblings arrived, Christina offered them the phone number to call for the Polish flight.


They gave their position in the Czech Air queue, the siblings ran off, hoping to connect to Polish Air but they couldn’t get through on the phone. Now they are last in line at Czech Air, Azaria wanted to continue to call Polish Air, while Hendekea just wanted to return to Czech Air. When Hendekea blamed Azaria of making all of the decisions for the Team, Azaria harshly replied, “Don’t give me your attitude, okay?” Fight na sila! Worried na ako.

When the Czech Air office finally opened at 4:30am, my fav team The Hipies purchased their tickets.Nick & Don also purchased the same tickets, but when Nate & Jen stepped up ,ticketing had stopped because it was time to board the flight! Panic attack agad ang mag-jowa as super sprint over to the travel agency where Kynt & Vyxsin purchased the Polish Air flight that Ron & Chris had booked earlier, but had to wait while Azaria & Hendekea finished their transaction for the same flight. Luckily, the got their tickets just in the nick of time.

When the 6:25am flight was boarding, Hendekia approached the counter to give them better seats but they were shocked coz they were accidentally given a BUSINESS CLASS TICKETS!!!! BAWAL SA RACE ITO! ECONOMY LANG DAPAT!
Panic sila takbo ever sa counter again kaso too late na sa flight. Instead they were a given a later flight with a connecting flight through Frankfurt.

Landing in Dubrovnik at 11:20am, Nate & Jen, The Goths and my not fav team Ron & Christina searched the clue box. The first two were lost but the latter immediately found it.

ROADBLOCK: one Team member had to help in the renovation of the city walls damaged by the bombings during the Yugoslavian civil war of the 1990s. The Racer needed to search through a pile of 150 stones to find one of eight that fit into the wall.

Boring task siya.


Next clue, make way to the roof of the Fort of St. Lawrence and take a tandem zip line to the roof of Fort Borkar.

11

I wanna do it. It’s like flying!!!

NEXT CLUE : DETOUR
choice between Short & Long and Long & Short. In Short & Long, Teams must rappel down from the roof of the fort to the base and follow the marked path to a city wall that they had to climb with a rope ladder. Then, once at the top, they had to make their way through Dubrovnik’s Old Town to a plaza where they would find their next clue. The hard physical part of the task was short, but then Teams must navigate a long distance through the confusing streets to the plaza. In Long & Short, Teams must use a tandem zip-line to fly from the fort to the water below. Then, after swimming to a floating platform, they must choose a small fishing boat, row around the city walls to the old harbor, and run to the same plaza, where they would find their next clue. The hard physical part of this task was much longer, but the short distance to the plaza was far less confusing.

Ron & Christina chose Long & Short, at first medyo nahirapan but they decided to have teamwork kaya they finished it smoothly. After finishing the roadblock & zip line, The Goths and the Bickering Jen & Nate did their detour.

Nate & Jen who began rowing with the hopes of overtaking the father and daughter were still bickering. Lack of rowing experience coupled with a volatile relationship led to another blowup between the dating couple. The fighting escalated to the point where Jen shouted, “I’m never gonna to be with you ever again. I hate you with a passion.” Nate was speechless.

The second plane landed and it was the plane of TK & Rachel, they finished the roadblock so quickly and did the detour next.

Meanwhile, The Goths chose Short & Long enjoyed their task.

Even though the bickering couple had overtaken Ron & Christina in a race for the cluebox, with first place on the line, both Teams required a taxi to the next Pit Stop at the Stone Cross Overlook. Ron & Christina caught a taxi ahead of Nate & Jen., you know why? The driver rejected them coz they were wet. A frustrated Jen shouted, “It’s not okay! It’s unfair! Our relationship sucks!”

First place- Ron & Christina( I am not happy for Ron). They won a brand new catamaran.
Nate & Jennifer took a private car and it’s illegal in the race so they were instructed by Phil to go back to the place where they got the clue and get a legal taxi.

2nd place – Kynt & Vyxsin by the way teams were greeted with a gun shot kaya gulat na gulat sila sa pit stop!

3rd place – Nate & Jen. According to Jen : As far as Nate and I being together in the end, it’s unpredictable to me right now…I don’t know if it’s too late. We’ve been through a lot.”

4th place – TK & Rachel – Luckily!I really wan them to win!

As TK & Rachel ran to the pit stop, Nicolas & Don finally landed in Croatia just barely ahead of the last place Azaria & Hendekia. Medyo nahirapan si Don sa Roadblock, the siblings naman were on their way to the Fort. After fitting the stone into the wall, the grandfather and grandson prepared for the zip line , when they spotted Azaria & Hendekea running to the cluebox for the Roadblock. A bewildered Hendekea shouted when she saw Nick & Don sailing across the sea.
May pag-asa pa sila!


19

Both teams chose Long & Short Detour but the granddad-grandson team were ahead already. Making them the 5th team to arrive at the pitstop.

Last team: Hu hu hu my fav Azaria & Hendekia have been eliminated from the race.
Last words : Hendekea commented, “Although my brother might be a little too hard on me, I know he just wants me to go as far as I can. I think our relationship will just get better and grow stronger.” Azaria added, “As a brother, I think part of my job is to challenge Hendekea, so for her to come out and show the intensity.
