Oh, Wow! It's Like One of Those
Things You See on TV! - October 1
Leg 3: Terelj, Mongolia - Hanoi, Vietnam
PIT STOP: TERELJ, MONGOLIA
We kick off the third leg of the race in Mongolia. Peter and
Sarah are the first team to receive this clue...
ROUTE
INFO |
Fly to Hanoi, Vietnam, and
find the prison known as "the Hanoi Hilton". You will not
receive any money to start this leg, nor are you allowed
to ask for any. |
The teams must now travel over
2,300 miles to Hanoi, Vietnam. Once they arrive they'll find
their way to a prison infamously known as the Hanoi Hilton,
where they'll find their next clue. However, they learn of
another twist, they will receive no money for the start of the
leg. And the teams are not allowed to sell anything or beg for
money.
HANOI, VIETNAM
While the teams get their taxis to the "Hanoi Hilton", Duke and
Lauren get help from a few Vietnamese the former knew in the
past. Unfortunately, they miscalculated the distance from the
airport to the prison and they could be setting themselves up
for their own roadblock. However, they did luck out after Duke
told him he had $11 to his name and the taxi driver understood
the situation.
Then an argument over line placement between Tom/Terry and
Dustin/Kandice ensued before the teams arrived in Hanoi. where
at 8 A.M., they entered the prison nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton"
and search for John McCain's flight suit. Some of the teams
choose to stop briefly for a moment of silence out of respect
for the veterans of Vietnam. Tom and Terry were the first team
to read the next clue...
ROUTE
INFO |
Make your way to Hanoi's Old
Quarter and find the marked flower shop. |
The teams now have to make their
way 1 1/2 miles to the Old Quarter at an intersection, where
they'll find a flower shop. Over there Tom and Terry get there
first, one member of each team will participate in a Roadblock
that requires them do the following...
ROAD
BLOCK |
Team members must choose a
bicycle with a basket of flowers and sell enough of them
to make at least 80,000 Vietnamese dong. |
After a team completes the
aforementioned task, they are allowed to keep any of the money
they've made. The teams at this point who've completed the
task got their next clue...
ROUTE
INFO |
Travel by public bus to the
Village of Vac. |
The teams then travel thirty
miles by public bus to Vac Village. After Erwin and Godwin
left the bus, one Vietnamese wanted to give them a
one-kilometer ride on his motorbike, but they refused. Then
Phil (via voiceover) mentions that for safety reasons teams
are strictly forbidden to ride or operate on motorcycles while
in Vietnam. Upon arriving in Vac, the teams run into a Detour
after witnessing a Vietnamese performance...
|
DETOUR |
FUEL or FOWL
FUEL: Teams must travel on foot to a workstation where
they must press coal to correctly create 30 coal
bricks which are Vietnam's common fuel source.
FOWL: Teams must travel on food to a courtyard and
then construct a single birdcage.
|
Erwin and Godwin complete "Fuel"
first and they get the final clue...
ROUTE
INFO |
Make your way on foot to
Danh Dong Dig, which is the Pit Stop to this leg of the
race.
WARNING: The last team to check in may be eliminated! |
PIT STOP: DANH DONG
DIG, VAC, VIETNAM
After Tom and Terry completed
"Fuel" they made a critical error in not following a clue's
instructions by riding a motorbike as was mentioned in an
earlier voiceover by Phil. This could cost them dearly as when
they've got to the mat and has been given the news of their
aforementioned event has given them a 30-minute penalty. They
now must wait for the said timeframe before returning to the
mat. Then a few more teams complete their leg without incident.
In the end, here's how they stood.
+----+------------------+-------------+
| #1.|Erwin and Godwin |Up from #8 |
+----+------------------+-------------+
| #2.|Tyler and James |Same Position|
+----+------------------+-------------+
| #3.|Rob and Kimberly |Up from #6 |
+----+------------------+-------------+
| #4.|Dustin and Candice|Up from #5 |
+----+------------------+-------------+
| #5.|Peter and Sarah |Down from #1 |
+----+------------------+-------------+
| #6.|Lyn and Karlyn |Up from #9 |
+----+------------------+-------------+
| #7.|David and Mary |Same Position|
+----+------------------+-------------+
| #8.|Tom and Terry |Down from #4 |
+----+------------------+-------------+
| #9.|Duke and Lauren |ELMINATED |
+----+------------------+-------------+
For Erwin/Godwin's first-place finish, they won a home
entertainment system. Tom and Terry were in second place, but
their mistake sent them down to 8th place, almost knocking them
out of the race. As for Duke and Lauren, apparently they should
have done the "Fuel" Detour task instead of the "Fowl" task. As
a result, they've been Philiminated.
The 4th leg starts next time here on TAR 10. |
