#337 - TAR 11 Finale

ENGLISH

Last night, the finale episode of The Amazing Race 11 was aired.

All three teams had to leave Guam to Honolulu, Hawaii. They all had to make flights to Tokyo first then continued their journey to Honolulu. In Guam, all of them booked the same flight. Once they arrived at Tokyo, Charla&Mirna were genius by finding another flight which was apparently earlier 40 minutes than flight they had reserved before. So, Charla and Mirna had the lead against Eric&Danielle and Dustin and Kandice rite now!! :) One they arrived at Honolulu, they had to take a charter helicopter to fly to Lanai which left 10 minutes apart. Predictably, Charla&Mirna got the first heli. After that they had to do a Detour Task and chose between "Under" or "Over". Charla and Mirna took Over where they had to paddle a surfing board (where Charla excelled at this task due to her handicap (handicap is not always bad, lol)). Dustin&Kandice and Eric and Danielle took "Under" where they had to swim to get the clues under the buoy. Then, they had to make their way to a shipwrecked and sail to a buoy against the wave to get the next clue. This is a 100% physical task. Even thought Charla&Mirna got the lead, Eric and Danielle and Dustin&Kandice could pass them. Eric and Danielle finished this task first, followed by Dustin&Kandice, and Charla and Mirna last. Then, they had to fly to the final destination, San Fransisco.

Btw, there was an unaired Road-Block which involved jumping off the cliff to the seashore in Hawaii.

Even though Eric&Danielle got the lead, they were all equalized again on the flight. Once they arrived at San Fransisco, they all went to SF Mill where they had to do their final task. One team member would answer 4 questions about what they thought about the other teams. After that he/she would get a 4-digit code which they should enter to the safebox. The team-mate then had to answer that 4 questions they thought the other team-mate had answered before. If they got it correct, the safebox would open and they could take the final clue. Otherwise, after 10 minutes, the guard would call them and hand them the last clue. Well, only Eric&Danielle got it correct. As a result, Eric&Danielle won The Amazing Race!! All eliminated teams (John Vito and Jill, Kevin and Drew, David and Mary, Rob&Amber, Teri and Ian, Joe and Bill, Uchenna and Joyce, and Oswald&Danny) waited for them on the finish line... :) Dustin and Kandice came second followed by Charla and Mirna.

Btw, Eric and Danielle really got through hell during the whole race. They got yielded TWICE, marked for elimination once, got bad luck on several flights (including got kicked off from a plane), and never won a single leg before!! But in the end, they won the 1 million dollar!! Hmmm.... . Either Charla&Mirna and Dustin and Kandice had won several legs before (2 and 4 respectively). On their original season, Eric (partenered with Jeremy) dominated the race but finished second on the final leg while Danielle (partnered with Dani) ended on #8. Dustin and Kandice played role as a villain on TAR 10 and finished #4. Charla and Mirna allied with Linda&Karen and confronted with Colin and Christie (team who won the MOST leg in one race so far which I hope would have joined TAR All-Stars but didn't since Christie was pregnant) on TAR5 finished #6.

Well, my most fave team on TAR All-Stars is Charla&Mirna, he3... :) Danny was right, they were class-act!! :)

Semalem episode terakhir dari The Amazing Race 11 ditayangin.

Semua tiga tim meninggalkan Guam ke Honolulu, Hawaii. Mereka semua naik pesawat dulu ke Tokyo trus melanjutkan perjalanan ke Honolulu. Di Guam, mereka semua memesan penerbangan yang sama. Begitu mereka sampai di Tokyo, Charla and Mirna jenius banget dengan menemukan penerbangan lain yang ternyata lebih dulu 40 menit dari penerbangan yang sudah mereka pesen. Jadi, Charla&Mirna memimpin deh sementara di depan Eric and Danielle dan Dustin&Kandice saat ini!! :) Begitu mereka sampai di Honolulu, mereka harus naik helikopter pesanan untuk terbang ke Lanai yang berangkat terpisah 10 menit. Seperti yang sudah ditebak, Charla&Mirna aik heli yang pertama. Trus, mereka mesti melakukan Detour dan memilih di antara "Under" atau "Over". Charla&Mirna ngambil Over dimana mereka harus mengayuh papan selancar (Charla melakukan tugas dengan hebat karena kekurangannya (kekurangan ga selalu jelek ternyata, lol)). Dustin and Kandice dan Eric&Danielle ngambil tugas "Under" dimana mereka harus berenang untuk ngambil petunjuk di bawah pelampung. Trus mereka mesti pergi ke kapal yang terdampar dan mengayuh melawan ombak ke pelampung untuk mendapatkan petunjuk. Tugas ini 100% tugas fisik. Walaupun Charla and Mirna memimpin, Eric&Danielle dan Dustin and Kandice bisa menyalip mereka. Eric&Danielle selesai duluan, diikuti oleh Dustin and Kandice, dan Charla&Mirna terakhir. Trus mereka mesti pergi ke tujuan akhir, San Fransisco.

Btw, ternyata ada Road-Block yang ga ditayangin tuh yang mengikutsertakan melompat dari tebing ke laut di Hawaii.

Walau Eric and Danielle memimpin, mereka semua seimbang lagi di penerbangan. Begitu sampai di San Fransisco, mereka semua pergi ke SF Mill dimana mereka akan melakukan tugas akhir. Satu anggota tim harus menjawab 4 pertanyaan mengenai apa yang mereka pikirkan tennag tim lain. Habis itu dia akan mendapat 4 kote digit yang mereka masukkan ke brankas. Trus rekannya akan menjawab 4 pertanyaan yang mereka pikir pasangan mereka jawab. Kalo bener, brankasnya akan kebuka dan mereka bisa ngambil petunjuk terakhir. Kalo engga, habis 10 menit petugasnya akan manggil mereka dan ngasi petunjuk akhirnya. Hmm, cuma Eric&Danielle yang benar menjawab. Sebagai hasilnya, ya Eric and Danielle yang menang The Amazing Race!! Semua tim yang udah dieliminasi (John Vito and Jill, Kevin and Drew, David&Mary, Rob and Amber, Teri and Ian, Joe and Bill, Uchenna&Joyce, dan Oswald and Danny) menunggu mereka di garis finish... :) Dustin and Kandice sampai kedua diikuti Charla and Mirna.

Btw, Eric&Danielle memang bener-bener melewati neraka sih sepanjang pertandingan. Mereka di-yield DUA KALI, ditandai eliminasi sekali, bernasib buruk di beberapa penerbangan (termasuk dikeluarkan dari sebuah pesawat), dan nggak pernah memenangkan satu pun babak sebelumnya!! Tapi akhirnya, mereka yang menang 1 juta dolar!! Hmmm... . Semua Charla and Mirna mapun Dustin and Kandice udah memenangkan beberapa babak sebelumnya (2 dan 4 berurutan). Di musim awalnya, Eric (partner sama Jeremy) mendominasi pertandingan tapi selesai kedua di babak akhirnya sementara Danielle (partner sama Dani) tereliminasi di posisi #8. Dustin and Kandice berperan sebagai orang jahat di TAR 10 dan selesai #4. Charla&Mirna beraliansi dengan Linda and Karen dan berkonfrontasi dengan Colin and Christie (team yang menang PALING BANYAK babak dalam satu pertandingan sejauh ini dan aku harap bakalan ikutan TAR All-Stars tapi enggak gara-gara Christie hamil) di TAR5 dan selesai #6.

Hmm, tim paling favorit saya adalah Charla and Mirna, he3... :) Bener katanya Danny, mereka benar-benar "berkualitas"!! :)
