The Amazing Race Asia 3; Episode 4

Its an Amazing Race 3 Day again folks, we are now on the 4th Pit Stop in the race around Asia the world.

Race Battleground: Taiwan
1. Taipie Proper - Navigating this city using a car is gruesome specially if your a first timer and you don't read or speak Mandarin. It has so many right and left turns and many of the racers feel trap to this travesty.
2. Shenkeng, Taipie - Part of the city suburb and part of the challenge. Locating this place is the one of the top challenge in the race as some teams got lost, racers dumber moments.
3. Taipie City Hall - The pit stop of the race.

Race Challenges:
1. Detour - Shoot It or Shape It. The shoot it challenge was the difficult one, in here, they have to shoot something in a miniature museum but they have no idea what it is. The challenge is nothing physical but it takes keen eyes to finish early and most of the team feel short on this. Shape it is the easy one, they only have to figure shapes using tangram, only one team choose this test and made the right choice.
2. The second challenge was braille reading. This is an easy task as well because they only have to read braille to get the next clue, teams here that has no patients and coordination end up finishing late. Its Berni and Henry who hurrays a lot feel into the trap. Teams then afterwards will give a $20,000 to the institute for the blind as a help.
3. Road Block - one man tasked and the main course of the episode, in this task, teams are ask to eat a Taiwanese delicacy called Stinky Tofu. Stinky because it smells very bad as a result if unique combination of spices. Tania and Ida have the most dramatic experience in this tasks with tears falling down all over as Tania grapples the delicacy. Oliver have few throw ups with Mai laughing in the background, so are the the rest of the eams except Niroo and Kapel who refuse to take the challenge.

Rundown of teams who made it to the fourth round.
1. Tania and Ida (Malaysia) - I told you before that I was wrong to call them weak because they are indeed very competitive and being the overall champ in this episodes proves everything. They got the best price also being the first team to arrive, they booth win the very sleek and feature packed flagship device from Nokia, N96, the omnipotent device.
2. Sam and Vince (Hongkong) - I'm still not beating on them. They will be eliminated soon.
3. Mai and Oliver (Thailand) - There starting to recognize each others strenght and weakness and that made them up par with the other groups.
4. Berni and Henry (Malaysia) - They tumble down in navigation and braille test, they must calm down once in awhile and think. Being in a hurry all the time is always the best thing to do in this Race. They must think!
5. A.D. and Fuzzie (Singapore) - Lucky enough to stay in the race.
6. Jeoff and Tisha (Philippines) - Same problem with Berni and Henry. Hope they learn from their mistakes.
7. Niroo and Kapel (India) - Eliminated. Their problem was with driving automatic cars, its a shame for this team being very much well known in their country yet cant figure out automatic cars. They must have been to dependent on their drivers that they don't know how to drive such cars. Lesson learned.
