Vince & Sam the winners of TARA3!!!



Finally, we have the winners! Congratulations to Vince & Sam for winning The Amazing Race Asia season 3!!! I had goosebumps watching them racing to the last pit stop.

And here is my review for the last leg of TARA3.




Teams first started off making their way to Muscat Office for their next clue. Then, they must make their way to Said's Camel Farm and transfer 10 camels into a holding pit before they can get their next clue. Ida & Tania completed the task without having much trouble while Sam & Vince were really struggling with their camels. And I think Tisha looked really cute while pulling and communicating with the camels to get them into the holding pit.





Next, the final Roadblock. Teams must drive to Uber Sands and use a metal detector to locate a key that will unlock a box containing their next clue. The teams vehicles got stuck in the sand quite several times. The wheather was too hot and the tire became soft and buried in the sand. Ida & Tania were the worst team affected by this. After that, they must travel to Phuket, Thailand and take a taxi to Sam Kong Temple for their next clue. Ida & Tania made a bad flight choices and ended up stranded at the airport. This lead them to lost precious time and being the last team to arrive in Phuket behind Geoff & Tisha and Vince & Sam who were on the same flight.






Teams then made their way to Thai Trade Food Ice Factory and searched through a barrel of shaved ice to locate an ice cube before receiving their next clue. Teams then must go to Lam Hin Pier for their next clue. After that, they must take a traditional Thai long tail fishing boat and locate a fisherman who has their next clue.

Next, the final Detour. Teams must pick between Pull and Plunge. In Pull, teams must locate a marked oyster in an oyster farm and exchange it for their next clue. In Plunge, teams must dive and search the sea floor for giant clamshell. They will find a pearl inside the clamshell and must exchange it for their next clue. Vince & Sam and Geoff & Tisha completed the Pull task while Ida & Tania chose Plunge. Ida & Tania really enjoyed themselves in the water.





After that, the final task. Teams must dig in a marked area in Rang Yai Beach for a buried treasure chest. The 1st team to place their treasure chest on the map at the final pit stop will be the winner of The Amazing Race Asia season 3 and also win USD100,000.

And as you guys already know by now (the title of this post is obvious enough), Vince and Sam are the winners of TARA 3 with Geoff & Tisha in 2nd place and Tania & Ida in 3rd place. It was an amazing race from the start to the finish. I also want to congratulate Geoff & Tisha and Tania & Ida for making it to the final. You guys race really well. Well done!
