We are almost at the end of the race. Here's my review of episode 10 of TARA 3.
Teams first made their way to Bhaja Caves to get their clue. Then they must travel by train and after they had arrived at the central railway station they must take note of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi near the station. Then they must make their way to a Standard Chartered bank branch for their next clue. At the bank, teams had to use an ATM card and the birth date of Mahatma Gandhi as the PIN number to get their next clue. If they didn't get the clue in 3 attempts, they will have to face 10 minute time penalty. Geoff & Tisha was the only team who got the penalty for failing to complete the task.
Teams then travelled to Muscat, Oman and they have to find a marked vehicle to know their next destination. After that, they must drive to Al Alam Palace to get the next clue which stated that they must make their way to Nizwah Fort for their next clue (sound confusing? I hope not. They didn't do any particular task so far except finding the clue box). At the Nizwah Fort however are a lot of clue boxes, and teams must search for the right clue box for their next clue.
Teams then headed for Mutrah Souq and faced with a Detour. This time, it's between Carpet and Count It. In Carpet, teams must match a unique piece of design on a carpet with the one caught on a Sony Cybershot camera. There are hundreds (I think) of carpets in the shop so this may be difficult. In Count It, teams must count the number of dried limes in a basket at a local perfume store. This may sound easy but they had not have enough rest or sleep so counting more than a thousand dried limes can be confusing. All teams completed Count It with Geoff & Tisha kept running back and forth between the 2 tasks when finally they chose to stick with Count It.
Teams then headed to Wadi Tanuf and unfortunately, all teams were lost. They worked together and finally found the place and the clue box. Teams then faced with a Roadblock. One team member must cross a canyon gap using Tyrolean traverse and get the clue hanging from the other side, and then make their way back. Ida and Geoff completed the Roadblock while Sam and Fuzzie failed to do so and incurred a 4 hour time penalty. I think it was not entirely Sam's and Fuzzie's fault. Sam is short so he must use a lot of energy to pull himself up as he was hanging lower from the main rope while Fuzzie is quite a big person so she had to use a lot of energy too to pull her body weight up. On the other hand, Ida and Geoff are both quite tall and slim so it will be easier for them to complete the Roadblock, at least that's what I think.
Teams then made their way by foot to the pit stop. Ida & Tania were 1st (yay!), Geoff & Tisha were 2nd and Sam & Vince were 3rd. Sam & Vince will also incurred a 4 hour time penalty at the beginning of the next leg. AD and Fuzzie were the last team to arrive and so were eliminated from the race.
I will miss AD & Fuzzie, they are such 'real' people. I'm so impressed that they managed to finish 4th in this race. Well done girls!
And so we have our final 3 teams. Sam & Vince will definitely have some disadvantage as they had the time penalty, hopefully hours of operation and flights delay will help them to catch up with the other 2 teams. But aside from that, I think all 3 teams have a good chance in winning this race. Good luck to all!!!
