TARUS15 - Part 2: Gary/Matt first & Garrett/Jessica eliminated

The teams left Tokyo, Japan to see Ho Chi Mihn, Vietnam to take a bus to Cai Be, where they had to arrive to the dock to receive their next clue. All of the teams found themselves on the same flight, so it was now even to get to the bus station. The first five or six so teams arrive on the first bus leaving where they were given a lead of the teams who fell behind. The teams on the second bus decide to pay the bus company and driver to convince them to move the bus, instead of waiting an hour. So, the teams arrive to Cai Be, where they receive their next task: Fill a tree bottom with mud all the way to the line.

All of the teams arrive to the little farm equally fair, and this is where Maria/Tiffany were five their speed bump task: serve Vietnamese food to the dock guard where they’ll receive their next clue. It was, I believe Meghan/Cheyne who completed the route info first and received their next clue: Go back to the dock and make your way to Cai Be field. This is where I believe Lance/Keri and Brian/Ericka were the next two teams to finish the task, where I believe Tiffany/Maria and Mika/Canaan were the last two teams. Finally, teams arrive to the roadblock which is moving ducks to a pen with the use of flags.

During the roadblock, Meghan and Keri struggled to get it in their first attempt. It was Matt, Sam, and Globetrotter who completed the roadblock first, and got to move on. Canaan/Mika and Garrett/Jessica were frustrated with their teammate, as Jessica and Mika both struggled to do the roadblock fast. Ericka also struggled with this roadblock, and she too got frustrated, along with Brian. It was Gary/Mat who arrived to the pit stop and Phil tells them they are team number one, wining a kayak for each of them as a prize. Sam/Dan and Flight Time/Big Easy came in second and third place by a hair.

Back at the roadblock, Keri, Zev or Justin, I forgot, and Meghan finally finished the task, and moved along to the pit stop. This left us with a very frustrated Ericka, Jessica, and Mika to compete with Tiffany and Marcy in this roadblock. Next, Lance/Keri were team number four, Zev/Justin were team number five, and Meghan/Cheyne were team number six. Maria/Tiffany finished the roadblock, and went to seventh place. Finally, it was Mika/Canaan, and Marcy/Ron who finished the task, and at the pit stop, Mika/Canaan were team number eight and Marcy/Ron were team number nine.

It was now between Ericka and Jessica to finished the task, and within minutes, Ericka finished first, following that was Jessica. So it was a mad dash to the finish line where Brian/Ericka finished first earning tenth place. Jessica/Garrett were the last team to arrive, and were eliminated from the race. They were extremely disappointed with that fact, as they were totally into doing this together. I personally didn’t mind that leg, however, it wasn’t like it was anything new, they have probably dealt with mud and trees and have herded birds before.

I think Mika/Canaan are my early favorites, but they don’t seem to have had much luck so far. Brian/Ericka are my next favorites, but they haven’t been good at any of the roadblocks so far. It just might be Zev/Justin who could pull this one through and make it a good race. I can truly tell it’s a competitive race, since the placing changed drastically from leg one to leg two. There are still no teams I really don’t like, and that’s a good thing, as that like, rarely happens.
