spiderbraidsThis week on TAR Asia: Sydney.
1. Boy, Andy and Laura will do ANYTHING to improve on a 7th place finish. Even hiding the Sydney maps in the Singapore airport store. Still finished 7th though (especially with Laura racing on a bum knee a la Marshall and Lance). 4th in a row.
2. Howard (of Howard and Sahran) takes a 4 hour penalty after getting a cold. Ouch. As if last place and a mugging aren't enough... Heck, Howard spent so long suiting up, Prashant and Sahil were well in last before the RB, and still finished ahead of them (even without the penalty).
3. The Roadblock Howard quit was essentially diving into a tank filled with sharks and getting a clue. And you thought that the "get clue from snake pit" one was scary...
4. Detour: Peeling shrimp (think TAR: Family Edition's Carolina leg), or climbing to the top of Sydney Harbor bridge (think TAR5's NZ leg, without the scary bungee jump).
5. Sharon/Melody continue to wisecrack through the race: "I'm the queen of the world!" "I think I stepped on doggie poo-poo." (not back to back, mind you)
6. No prize for this leg, but last week, Mardy and Marsio got a Sony HD video camera.
7. Actual clues. One clue said, "Danergous seaside animals will lead you to your next clue"... and one team thought they were thinking seagulls :D
8. And there was a local culture task mixed with product placement: Find someone who can sing "Click Go The Shears" and film him/her with (YEP!) a Sony HD video camera and show it on a Bravia.
