So the entire episode was shot in Thailand.. again. Not that I’m complaining, it just makes me wonder if they are ever going out of the South East Asia/Australasia region for this show. I kind of like the fact that they showed two different parts of Thailand - the cultural side from the last episode, and the natural beauty of the country.
First of all, the whole fiasco of getting from Bangkok to Krabi was highly entertaining. Confusing, but entertaining, nonetheless. Three of them took the easy 11 hour express bus ride, while the other three was more adventurous and took 5 different public buses and a total of .. what 17 hours? Adventurous, but highly risky and foolish if you ask me.In any case, the 6 hours delay didn’t really matter in the end since there was a retarded opening times equalizer waiting for them at Krabi. I really really hate this kind of equalizers, but good for those stuck in this group I guess.
A Fast Forward was available and I was initially surprised no one wanted to do it. The detour was between Smash (smashing coconuts to find one with red ink inside) and Grab (grabbing underwater clues from the buoys). The Smash detour sounded like a logical choice, but seeing that they were given a miniature hammer instead of a parang to smash the nuts, it was obviously the wrong choice. The Grab detour was clearly the better choice as the waters themselves were not that deep.. and they could’ve gone through all the buoys faster than go through the 75 coconuts.
The roadblock was climbing a really high rock wall. That looked extremely daunting, and I personally don’t know if I could’ve done it. No hang on… I’m not going to go beneath Sahran’s level (that pathetic bitch). But kudos to everyone who did the climb. Another clue leading them to the pitstop, and the whiny bitch got eliminated. All is well with the world again, thank fuck.
In the order of their arrival at the pitstop :
1. Marsio & Mardy
Seriously, wtf? They must be doing something right to be the first team.. again. Sure it’s because of the Fast Forward, but so what? They took the chance and it paid off. I’m still bewildered as to why the rest of the teams were very laidback and hesitant to rush for the Fast Forward. That said, if this team goes out next, it will the best Final Four ever. I’m possibly no different from these two (big, overweight.. and balding some more) but for fucks sake, they used up all their money… for new backpacks and most probably for FOOD. Aiyoo.. “Marsio, stop eating.. get the tickets first”. LMAO. *sigh* They are just playing the tiring cliche of big fat lazy men who does nothing but eat and eat and eat.. again and again. I don’t know if I should be angry at them or sad for them. Really. And bitch please, you do not need one person to balance the kayak, and the other to paddle. Come on, who are you kidding. That’s just laziness speaking and I know this cause I’ve done kayakking in open waters and I’m as big as they are.
2. Andy & Laura
Yeah.. still not liking them, but they’ve proven to be good racers so far. They’ve been in the Top 2 for the past .. what 3 or 4 legs? Gotta hand it to them. They got lucky with the boatmen at the pitstop, but they also made good decisions at the detour.
3. Sandy & Francesca
Well.. they’re just.. there, ya know. Nothing much to be said of what we don’t already know about them. These guys are definitely a shoe-in for the final three.
4. Andrew & Syeon
They are proving to become a much bigger threat now that the race is dwindling down in the number of racers. They were comfortably leading the pack at the detour and roadblock, but unfortunately they got screwed in the end by an incompetent boat driver. Go Team Malaysia!
5. Joe Jer & Zabrina
I was so nervous for them at the detour. They got really lucky after switching from the coconuts to the buoy. I didn’t think the girls would’ve faired so well with the rock climbing roadblock but Zabrina pulled it through. You go girl! <3 <3 <3 They have a lot ahead of them, being the only all-female team left in the race, but I don't think they'll have any problems to outlast at least one other team still in the race.
6. Sahran & Howard
Watching Sahran spread his ass cheek to the camera during the rock climb was painful to watch, but it paid off with their elimination. I kept telling myself that they were going to take the 4-hour penalty and avoid the rock climbing but they proved me wrong. But still, does the bitch cry over everything? I mean, good for you that you actually performed the climb, but do you have to pout and cry after the bloody thing was already over? GOD! Very da memalukan nak mampos. Worst team to be on an Amazing Race show ever, and I’m glad their asses are finally off the show.
