TARUS15 - Sam/Dan first & Zev/Justin Eliminated

Leg Four tasks: Teams had to make their way to the Foreign Correspondent’s Club where they must ask for their next assignment. Then, teams where given a picture of Jackie Kennedy and had to find the Kennedy suite. In the detour, teams had to either cover or wrap, by selling motorcycle helmets or finding a matching colored scarf. In the roadblock, teams had to act like monkeys and perform stunts humans do as monkeys. The pit stop was Wat Phnom.

1ST - Sam/Dan - They managed to stay in the front of the pack throughout most the race, and I believe they were only behind Zev/Justin. They were the second team to arrive to the pit stop, behind Zev/Justin, and were very close to Herb/Nate, but Zev/Justin revealed they lost a passport, and had to leave the pit stop to find it.

2ND - Flight/Time/Big Easy - Again, they ran another solid race, and easily caught up to Sam/Dan. I really feel they are decent racers indeed, and will make this race really competitive.

3RD - Brian/Ericka - This team really knows how to climb to a top position, and I really think they have potential to race, despite their first episode performance. I’m waiting for them to get first place, and make an easy run to the finish line.

4TH - Gary/Matt - They are still good racers, and I’m glad they are not a bickering team, and really get along despite being completely different. Lance/Keri can really learn from them.

5TH - Meghan/Cheyne - They kind of remind me of TAR6 Kris/Jon, but way more likable, but on a more competitive race. I see they are getting along and that’s a plus, and they are good racers, so far.

6TH - Lance/Keri - They are always almost in the bottom of the pack, along with Mika/Canaan. This is our conflicting arguing team of the season that hardly anyone likes. I am actually meh on them because they aren’t good at good grip on the race and they are always fighting.

7TH - Mika/Canaan - You can only fall in the back of the pack so many times before you’re hopeless. I really wish this team was a lot better. They are almost like the older teams or perhaps, Dani/Danielle or Marisa/Brooke.

8TH - Maria/Tiffany - This was the second time arriving last to the pit stop and got spared, after getting spared on a NEL and then on a team penalized. I don’t expect much from them, which is a disappointment.

9TH - Zev/Justin - They arrived in first, and pretty much had first the entire leg, however, Zev lost his passport. They couldn’t find it at all (it was reported that the passport was left on the monkey roadblock) and were eliminated from the race.

This was a disappointing leg simply because all it was we saw was scarf matching, helmet selling, hat searching, suite searching, and a monkey task a kid could do. This was way under what I’d expect from so much competitive teams casted. I’m starting to think this race will be very predictable, and I’d be shocked if this race didn’t end up with the Globetrotters, Team Zebra, Dan/Sam, and Meghan/Cheyne as the final four teams, I which I’d know to expect a u-turn to change that, but whatever.
