DIFFERENT WAYS TO SHOW WHY YOUR TEAM SHOULD BE CHOSEN:
I can run faster than you!

Competitive: We can run very fast We can swim very far We’re very athletic We’re smarter than average We’re highly travelled We have good sense of direction We’re willing to do whatever it takes We can speak 12 different languages

Reverse Psych those judges!

Reverse psychology: We’re adventure virgins We’ve never got outside out town We’ve never flew in an airplane We’ve never seen that much money Our kids never been to Disneyland

I want to win!

Desire: We want to win We need the cash We want to see how our relationship can withstand the stress We want to travel We want people to recognise our face We want to show people we’re more then just a pretty face

Anyone can wear their underwear outside

Funny: Act out a funny scenario Bounce around wearing your underwear on the outside

Act like you're already in the Amazing Race!

Racing: Act like you’re in the race Act like you’ve just won the race Act like you’re doing a detour Act like you’re in a road block Act like you’ve just arrived at the pit stop

Do whatever you want: You can shoot whatever you want, even boring videos of your team rambling on and on and on... (heck, Andy and Laura still got picked!)

Predictions for Episode 10

Here we go... 5 teams left. Who'll be out?
M&Ms - Mardy and Marsio
Will it be the weakest team out? They know they are physically weak. And they do seem to be running out of tasks wich require more brain than brawn? Even for the brainy tasks, they seem to be reaching there later than the other teams. Plus, in the history of TAR, I've never seen anyone run out of cash due to excessive purchases (and food). Luck will definitely be a factor for them. They cant take any more fast forward though.
Joe Jer and Zabrina
Will they make it to the final 3, or will the curse of the all-girl team get to them? Initially, they were in the leading pack. But lately, they seem to be lagging behind, and just about manage to survive. They definitely perservere and keep up their optimism even when they're last. However, they are still the only team left that has not won any leg. Plus, they did finish in last before, but got real lucky with a non-elimination round. Will their luck last?
Andrew and Syeon
This Malaysian pair seem to be the only "Asian" leading the pack. They seem to be able to do things just right to get them into the lead, only to be snatched away at the very last minute. It seems very obvious they are in contention for the final 3. It does boil down to luck ultimately, and they seem to be the only team that did not suffer a bout of bad luck. All they needed was a little flat tire in the race to the pit stop. How lucky can they really be?
Sandy and Francessca
The beef and the beauty. They are indeed lucky. They were really in for trouble last episode, but it was a superleg. They have came in last before, and yet also came in first in home ground. In terms of physical fitness, there are no other team that could outdo them. But will all brawn and no brain lead to victory? What if there's a little brainy puzzle at the very end? It could be thier last straw. Heck, they cant even count right.
Andy and Laura
At first they claim to be the most unlucky pair ever. Then they manage to do a Thai curse and switch luck with the Singaporean girls. And now, they're leading all the way. They have even won the most number of legs too. However, they are turning into evil little monsters. Trying as much as they could to influence and sabotaj other teams so that they could lead instead. Well, it could either be that or luck that is bringing them into the lead. But, nobody likes to see evil triumph over good, do they?
Ok, so here's my prediction for this week (ok, I'll put only 2, since there's only 5 teams left):
1. Andy and Laura
They seem to be in the lead so much that they're getting cocky. Probably will get too overconfident too soon. And nobody likes evil to reign.
2. M&Ms
The weakest out. It looks like they might not catch up with the rest of the teams. With all the breaks they keep taking to eat, get massage, and spend money, how will they focus on the finish line?
