A DREADFUL LEG IN BUDAPEST

TAR ASIA 2 - LEG 11
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY



At the start of the Budapest leg, Singaporeans gay buddies I mean gay buddies were the first to leave.

First CLUE: From the Solomon Tower in Budapest, Hungary, teams must now locate the Little Princess statue for their next clue. However, teams are not told what or where the statue is.
There were no instructions about the next location so the only solution is to ask the locals.
Sculpted by Laszlo Marton in 1989, the statue was inspired by Marton's daughter and is located by the Danube Promenade.


The second to leave the pitstop, Marc and Rovilson were already planning to take back the lead.
They should coz I missed their base dance at the pit stop.

You know what? Rov & Marc caught up with the gym buddies. It was amazing!

Next clue:
Teams are now faced with their first Fast Forward. By completing a challenge and winning the Fast Forward clue, teams can skip all challenges in this leg of the race and proceed directly to the pitstop.

Both teams decided to do it.

In this special challenge, teams have to head to the Elizabeth Bridge and count the vertical struts or bars between the flag area of the bridge. The flags are placed on each end of the bridge. The first team to enter the correct number into a combination safe will receive the Fast Forward.


Watching that FF was really enjoyable and I almost had a heart attack.
I thought my bet was right on their 2nd attempt but they were wrong again and the gay buddies got it!!!!
Damn!!!! Fuck the gays!!!!

I love this comment from Rov:
"Immediately, we had to pick up our hearts that fell to the bottom of the ocean," says Rovilson.After spending an hour at the Fast Forward, they must now catch up with the remaining three teams.

So the gay buddies can now procced directly to the pitstop.
The pitstop for this leg of the race is the Gellert Hill Citadel, where one can enjoy a panoramic view of Budapest. The last team to arrive will be eliminated.

NEXT CLUE:
Teams must now head to the Labyrinth of Buda Castle for their next clue.

ROADBLOCK:
One teammate must enter the labyrinth and search the treasure chests for their next clue.

Rovilson, Pamela, Dianne did this.
It was a boring task.

At this time Paula and Natasha just arrived at the statue.

NEXT CLUE:
Teams must now leave their cars and use the South Bridge entrance to get to Margaret Island, an island located in the middle of the Danube. They must then ride a pedicab, and find the home of Saint Margaret. There, they must pick up a souvenir and return with it to the pedicab man for their next clue.

Rov & Marc finished this task so fast.

NEXT CLUE:
Teams must head to Heroes' Square, where they will be facing a Yield. In this, one team can force another team to Yield, by preventing them from continuing with the race for a set amount of time.

Currently in second place, Marc and Rovilson had no interest in yielding any of the teams behind them, but had actually been told to do so by another team. Rovilson explained, "We are not going to Yield a team based on our own standing but we have been requested by another team, which will not be named, to yield another team."

Back on the island, the sisters received guidance from a local and found the souvenir, while the moms were still looking for the soft toy.

At Heroes Square, Marc and Rovilson arrived and placed a Yield on Ann and Diane.
They did this so that Paula & Natasha can catch up.

The next task is a Detour. In Say It, teams must pronounce the names of the 14 kings whose statues are erected in the square. In Play It, teams must solve the six colour sides of a Rubix Cube, one colour at a time. They must also alternative colours between team members.

Marc and Rovilson opt to Play It, and finished the task so quickly.

PIT STOP STANDINGS

1ST PLACE: The gay buddies I mean gym buddies
2ND PLACE : Rov & Marc

4TH PLACE : The Desperate Housewives – Nobody helped them during the Say It challenge so they switched task.
LAST PLACE : Sad to say the The Thai Babes weren't able to catch up the pack. Paula & Natasha have been eliminated.

Sad to see them go.
