    Hey everyone, please note the following minor changes I have made to our Scoring System which can be viewed in my previous post:


    - I have firstly adjusted the points for the Hazard from 20 points to 25 points. THis is done in order to distribute tantamount points to that of the Speed Bump, considering that they are basically the same sort of thing.


    - I have changed the scores for first / second / third place from 30 / 10 / 5 to 30 / 20 / 10, in order to have a more even distribution of these points, and also to ensure that we have a higher scoring game.


    - I have added another element in which "Your team finishes in the same position (but not first place) on consecutive legs". I f this happens to your team, you will receive ten points. Our existing score of twenty points for a team who WINS consecutive legs remains in place.


    Let me know if you have any problems with the changes OR if you would like to suggest any further changes or additions and good luck on the remainder of the pool!


    Also, congrats to Numb3rsfan1 who has taken the early lead with Kaylani & Lisa!

    Glad to see Jeremy & Sandy still holding in there strong. I was worried for them this leg. Just hope next leg I can some points from them, would be neat.

    And so I am now the onyl one yet to score, lol! Perhaps Liz & Marie can pull off a Kisha & Jen, who were barely scoring for me lasst season!


    Guys, please note the update for next week and the episode after that will each be 3-4 days later than usual. This is due to me having exams over the course of Monday-Wednesday of the next two weeks, and so I will not be viewing the episodes until Thursday evening in Australian time.


    Starting from Episode 6, updaates will return to normal.

    It was a very emotional but nice leg for sure. The Roadblock was one of the best I reckon. I just don't understand how Kaylani & Lisa managed to fall behind all those teams while searching for the PIT STOP.


    Amazing_race you barely survived this leg, but you're still in! Jeremy & Sandy, my team are finally going up the ranks. Thailand will be nice next week

    Congratulations amazing_race. Liz & Marie get to see another day as they survived the obvious and predictable second of four non-elimination points. The next non-elimination will either be leg 7 or 8. Probably 7. They'll do the eliminate two teams at once pattern.

    Well, after two seasons of victory, it seems I have picked a dud this time; the lowest scoring team!!!


    Anyways, good luck to the rest of you, and I will be cheering on Amani & Marcus from the sidelines. All the best, and I look forward to picking a better team next season!

    Very sorry to see you out amazing_race, and yes especially after a few strong seasons. Oh well, I don't know how much further Jeremy & Sandy will make it. I am actually guessing they will get eliminated in the final 4, for some reason, but it could be a lot sooner. Especially judging by what happened in Bangkok.


    Usually it is the same people who get to the top sort of five in the pool, well I guess that trend has been curved.


    So freaking glad Asia is over. That has and will really put down this season. Five legs, is just not on. Ranking the legs in Asia this season:


    5-1-3-2-4

    I really like Jeremy & Sandy as well and I'm concerned that they may go sooner thn later, as they seem to receive close to zero screen time. I hope that changes!


    Ranking the Asian legs for this season, mine looks like:


    3 - 2 - 4 - 1 - 5

    Im glad they're out of Asia. I love all the upcoming destinations. Malawi sounds cool, good old TAR African leg days. Its going to be exciting. Denmark will be fantastic, best location of the season, even if it is only for one leg, but I am not sure. It is the destination I most wanted the show to visit. Belgium sounds fantastic also, a nice country in Northern Europe with modern buildings and high cultural aspects. Im guessing that covers two legs. Will the penultimate leg be in Panama?
