The Amazing Race Asia 2: Episode 12
February 11, 2008
With four teams left, the race is now on for a spot in the top three positions, towards the final grand prize. After spending most of the race behind Marc and Rovilson, Adrian and Collin are on top, but can they still maintain the lead, with sisters Pamela and Vanessa, together with mothers Ann and Diane, gunning for them?
From Gellert Hill and the Citadel in Budapest, Hungary, teams must now catch the next flight which will bring them to Cape Town in South Africa. They must then make their way to Signal Hill, a landmark location in the city.
With $200 for this leg of the race, Collin and Adrian are the first to leave the pitstop at 8.10pm. Far ahead of everyone else, the duo makes full use of their early lead and head directly towards a computer.
"We are going to a nearby hotel for internet access, where we can do proper research," explains Collin on their game plan. Their objective is not towards the front of the line, but just to be in the top three teams for the final leg.
But despite their best efforts, there is nothing online that will bring them a significant lead. The other teams pick up their clues, and are surprised by their next destination.
"We could not believe we would be going all the way to South Africa. It was crazy," points out Vanessa.
But putting things in perspective is her sister, who feels this is a chance for them to take the lead.
Arriving at the airport, Marc and Rovilson are first to notice that Adrian and Collin are nowhere to be found again. Did the Singaporeans manage to outsmart the rest and skip ahead?
Quips Rovilson, "They are probably setting up a website and chatting with someone from Cape Town already."
