CRASHED & BURNED ON THE FLAGS

THE AMAZING RACE ASIA 2
FINALE


At the start of the leg, Marc & Rovilson confessed about their goals in the race. So far they have fulfilled the three.
Namely not to get eliminated and to be in the top three teams. Their third goal was to win the leg in Philippines and they did it on the 2nd leg. To win is not on their agenda.

FIRST CLUE:
From the Aquila Game Reserve in Cape Town, South Africa, teams must head to the District 6 Museum to receive their next clue. Named after the Cape Town area where residents were forcibly removed from their homes, the museum serves as a reminder of those events.
Using a Sony Vaio notebook, teams must unlock password on the notebook using the original street names found in District Six.

Marc and Rovilson were the first to the museum, and immediately started keying the street names into the notebook, hoping to unlock the clue. After a few random tries, the duo unlocked the clue, which tells them to read one paragraph off the wall, which describes the history of the district, before they will be given the next clue.




NEXT CLUE DETOUR
The next challenge is a Detour and teams must head to the Vitoria and Alfred Waterfront, more commonly known as the V & A Waterfront.

In Search, teams must head to The Scratch Patch, where a collection of tens of thousands of tumble polished gemstones lie, waiting for visitors to bring them home. Within the sea of multicolored stones, teams must pick up three specially market stones for their next clue.

In Assemble, teams must make a traditional wire radio out of a collection of parts. Once the completed unit is able to receive radio signals, teams will receive their next clue.

Marc & Rov picked Search first but overwhelmed by the number of stones in the patch they decided to switch to assemble.

The gay buddies chose to search. Of course di nila feel gumawa ng radio. Baka masugatan mga hands nila. The sisters chose to assemble too.


In just one try, Marc and Rovilson completed their radio and received the next clue:

NEXT CLUE:
Teams must now head to the soccer field at FC Kapstadt, which is located next to the site of the 2010 World Cup. They must score three goals from the penalty line to get the next clue.

It's obvious that the goalkeeper didn't want them to succeed. Hmmm...
Pinahirapan talaga sila!

Afterwards, when the gay buddies and the sisters arrived at the field. Aba parang andali dali lang.
Pinagbigyan talaga!!!! Kaasar ha!!!

Next CLUE:
Teams must now head to Atlantis Dunes and ride an All-Terrain Vehicle, or Quad Bike, around a sand course. Located in the course are 18 possible containers, with only one containing the necessary clue. The other 17 contain an hourglass. If teams open a container with the hourglass, they must flip it and let the device run its course, before continuing to their next clue.

Marc & Rovilson were first and almost opened all the containers. The gay buddies really cheated this time. Nag-skip sila ng mga containers kasi alam nila nabuksan na nila Marc ang mga ito. Bwisit sila!
Buti nga at nag-sink ang Quad bikes nila. Di lang yun muntikan na madaganan si Collen. Naku ang face baka tuluyan pang masira!

When Marc & Rovilson, opened the right one. They knew what to do. Instead of jumping they just sipmly sat down in the sand. Pretending it wasn't there.


Next CLUE:
Teams must now make their way to the Cape Point Lighthouse. Once there, they have to tell the lighthouse keeper where they think they would be traveling to next.

This time Magnum PI made a bad decision coz they went down instead of going upwards.
Medyo naunahan sila ng mga bading kasi the girlaloos decided to go upwards. Dang it!


NEXT CLUE:steams must now travel to the Raffles Statue near the Asian Civilisations Museum, for their next clue. This is also good news as the location of the statue is right next to where teams started off from in the beginning of the race.

Of course tuwang tuwa ang mga bading!Taga-Singapor kaya sila???

Pero all three teams got on the same flight.
Back to zero again!

In SINGAPORE:
First to get a taxi .. Marc & Rovilson! Grabbeee excited ako super! This is it!!!
Kaso kasunod naman mga bading! Making pakiusap in Mandarin na dapat manalo sila.


At the statue of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the founding father of Singapore, Marc and Rovilson pulled out the first clue, which guides them towards the Tanjong Beach in Sentosa for their next clue.
Followed by the gay buddies who forgot to tell their taxi driver to wait. Pam & Van had just asrrived.



NEXT CLUE: ROADBLOCK
Teams are now faced with a Roadblock at the beach, where one team member must place national flags in the sand, in the order of the countries they have visited since the start of the race.

This time Rovilson did the task coz Marc had finished all his Rbs. It's frustrating to watch Rov picking the wrong flags. So sad.

Pam & Van just arrived. Van did the task and was also bit confused.






Finally, Adrienne & Colleen arrived at the beach. Adrienne picked the task.
I think he did it in a minute! Hmmmmm.....
Ok Fine matalino siya. Bata pa raw siya pinag-aralan na raw niya ang mga flags. Hmmmm...




NEXT CLUE:
Teams must now make their way to the Chinese Garden which is the final pitstop for The Amazing Race Asia.


Vanessa completed the roadblock next and received their final clue as well.

But our buddy Rovilson was still stucked in the sand.

Rovilson eventually completed the Roadblock and they are the third team headed towards the pitstop.
Hu hu hu... I wanted to cry na.....

At the Chinese Garden,

Adrian and Collin rushed towards a waiting Allan Wu with matching slow mo running pa na super corny tingnan dahil ampanget ni Colleen,
WINNER DAW SILA!!!
Talaga lang huh??? Fine!
