Previously on The Amazing Race, 9 teams of 2 set out from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and travelled 210km to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. At the airport, Timothy & Siying were unable to get on the flight everyone else was on. But after being persistant, they managed to to squeeze on. At the detour, Jenyun's love for pink paid off when they luckily found their matching scarf within seconds. In the meanwhile, Rachel & Baowen faced tough luck selling their helmets. Finding themselves lost in the market, Jack & Sam started to panic. However, it was Wanjing who flared up at the communication barrier with the locals. Timothy & Siying arrived at the Roadblock at the front of the pack, but found that Siying has difficulty completing the roadblock, allowing most of the last female teams to catch up. In the end, Jenyun's agility propelled their team into first place. Xinfang & Wanjing's luck dipped again when their taxi was the last among the 4 to the pitstop. After a wild footrace between 4 teams, Xinfang & Wanjing were edged out, causing them to be the 4th team to be eliminated.8 teams remain, who will be eliminated next?
Leg 5 - Cause you're hot then you're cold (Waisin)Priscilla & Jenyun, who were the first team to arrive, will depart at 12.25pm.Priscilla: *rips open clue* Fly to the Persian's Gulf and find the world's tallest building.Jenyun: Huh?Yixuan (voice-over): Teams must now figure out that the world's tallest building is Burj Dubai in the capital city of United Arab Emirates. Once they figure out that, they must fly to Dubai, UAE and make their way to a fountain to sign up on 1 of 2 groups to ride an elevator to the 124th floor of Burj Dubai.Priscilla: Let's find out where is the Persian Gulf and the tallest building.Jenyun: We need the internet!*confessionals*Jenyun: I am glad that my fairygodmother and I came in first! I will continue to work hard so as not to disappoint my fairygodmother.Priscilla: And I will do my part to stay in the race too.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*All 8 teams are on the same flight to Dubai, connecting through Bangkok**at Bangkok*Karhwee: Hi, is there a faster flight to Dubai?ticket-agent: I'm sorry, but your flight is the earliest one there is.Karhwee: Alright. Thank you.*confessionals*Karhwee: We tried to get an earlier flight but they don't have one.Waisin: Looks like we have to stay with the pack.Karhwee: How loserish.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*at Dubai*Waisin: Taxi!Zhenyang: Quick, a cab!Yuyan: Aiyo, Booboo faster! Alot of teams left already.Jack: Sam, quick! We are behind many teams!*on the road*Pohchoon: We are the first to..Zhenyang: No, second. Waisin & Karhwee are ahead.Pohchoon: Aiya, whatever la dont interrupt me.Zhenyang: Then get your facts right. *rolls eyes*Waisin: Karhwee & I have come up with a strategy.Karhwee: That is to try and notice the other teams weak points and hit them hard.Waisin: Err.. I think I still prefer to the work together well one.Karhwee: Oh how silly Waisin.Baowen: Are we last again?Rachel: I don't think so. The cousins were behind us when we left the airport.Baowen: Ahhhh, I don't want to be last.*at fountain**1st team on 5:30am group - Waisin & Karhwee*Waisin: Yes! We are the first team here.Karhwee: We just have to maintain this lead.*2nd team on 5:30am group - Timothy & Siying*Timothy: It's so rare we are ahead of the pack.Siying: Yeah, especially when we were slapped with a U-Turn unknowingly sometime back *glares at Waisin & Karhwee**confessionals*Timothy: Back at Vietnam, Waisin & Karhwee used their U-Turn on us in hopes of extending their lead and coming in first.Siying: But they still came in second. Or bi good!Timothy: And know there is this awkward silence with only the 2 of our teams around.*confessionals*Waisin: Timothy & Siying are strong. So strong.Karhwee: They survived our U-Turn, and I'm afraid it might have repurcussions on us. Like they would U-Turn us later in the game.*on the road*
Zhenyang: Oh my god, that's the airport right?
Pohchoon: Holy shit, let's change cabs!
Zhenyang: For the first time, you are actually making sense!
Pohchoon: =.=
*gets into new cab*
Pohchoon: And that bitch still dare to collect cab fare. What a scammer!
Priscilla: My god, why aren't we reaching? My fairy sense tells me 2 teams already arrived at the sign-ups.
Jenyun: Then use your magic to teleport us there!
Priscilla: I can't, I overused it just now to make the plane land earlier.
*at fountain*
*3rd team on 5:30am group - Yuyan & Lisa*Lisa: We are third?Yuyan: Booboo! Our cab is good!Lisa: Booboo!*last team on 5:30am group - Yanzhi & John**1st team on 5:45am group - Priscilla & Jenyun*Jenyun: Ahhh! Fairygodmother!

I AM SCARED!Yuyan: BOOBOO! ME TOO!Siying: *clutching Timothy tightly* Please don't let me die.Timothy: I won't baby. Nothing will happen.Yanzhi: Hah! Look at them.John: This is actually quite high you know.*at 124th floor**1st team to get clue - Waisin & Karhwee**2nd team to get clue - Yanzhi & John**3rd team to get clue - Timothy & Siying**4th team to get clue - Yuyan & Lisa*Waisin: *rips open clue* Route Info.Yixuan (voice-over): Teams must now make their way to a nearby parking structure and drive a marked car to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and ride a 4x4 vehicle to their next clue.Yuyan: Booboo! Got Fast Forward!Lisa: Let's take it.Yixuan (voice-over): This is the 2nd of only 2 Fast Forwards hidden on the entire race. The first team who finds it and completes it can skip all task and head directly to the Pitstop. In this Fast Forward, that team have to travel to Dubai Autodrome. Then, one team member will have to drive a F3 open-wheel racecar and accelerating to up to 100mph, complete a lap within 45 seconds or less.Yuyan: This is going to be exciting.Lisa: *shouting out* We are going for the Fast Forward! Don't follow us!Yanzhi: *whispering* I think we stand a better chance to win the Fast Forward than them.John: Shall we try it?Yanzhi: Yes.*5.45am*Sam: This is indeed once in a lifetime chance.Jack: You can't even experience this elsewhere. This is really amazing!Baowen: Ahhhh! This is soooooo high!Rachel: Don't worry, nothing will happen to us. The top should be barriered.Jenyun: I wish the other teams will fall of the Burj Dubai and die. *evil smile*Priscilla: No dear, I can't use my powers for evil.Zhenyang: Let's beat all these teams.Pohchoon: We can eliminate them now by throwing them down! Totally BOOMZ right?*5th team to get clue - Jack & Sam**6th team to get clue - Zhenyang & Pohchoon**7th team to get clue - Priscilla & Jenyun**last team to get clue - Rachel & Baowen**on the road*Timothy: I think we should just follow Waisin & Karhwee. They seem to be always knowing where to go.Siying: Ya, that's a great idea!Waisin: Why are they following us like that? It's very annoying!Karhwee: U-Turn them again!Pohchoon: I say we ask someone before moving, in case we start to quarrel on the way again.Zhenyang: Fine. You call the shots.Baowen: I see the desert entrance, I think we should just follow this path all the way!Rachel: Not bad ah bao!Yuyan: I think Yanzhi & John are also doing the Fast Forward.Lisa: Ooh sickening sickening sickening. We have to beat them or it's bye bye to us.*at Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve*Waisin: We are here! Let's dash to the clue!Karhwee: We must not let them beat us.Rachel: Oh my! We caught up to the first group!Baowen: Yay!*1st team to ride 4x4 vehicle - Waisin & Karhwee**2nd team to ride 4x4 vehicle - Timothy & Siying**3rd team to ride 4x4 vehicle - Rachel & Baowen**on the road*Yanzhi: Are you sure this is the way to the Autodrome? It says 'No Entry', you know?John: The map doesn't show one way roads.Yanzhi: I will try to turn around it.Zhenyang: Oh my god. We finally found the desert! Hope we aren't last.Pohchoon: Thanks to my BOOMZ navigating skills.Zhenyang: Oh shut up.Pohchoon: SHINGZ YOU! LALALA~Jenyun: We are totally lost.Priscilla: Let me use my magic and tada! A magic map!Jack: I see Zhenyang & Pohchoon right ahead, shall we follow them?Sam: The map also says it's here. Overtake them instead.Jack: I'm trying, I'm trying.*4th team on 4x4 vehicle - Zhenyang & Pohchoon**5th team on 4x4 vehicle - Jack & Sam**at cluebox*Waisin: *rips open clue* Roadblock. It's my turn.Yixuan (voice-over): A roadblock is a task where only one team member may perform. And no team member can perform more than 6 in the entire race. In this roadblock, that team member must choose a traditional bag and search the desert for water stored in urns buried under the sand. However, not all urns contain water. Once they have collected enough water for their camel, they will receive their next clue.Karhwee: I would have collapsed in the heat.Timothy: This roadblock looks tough, let me do it.Rachel: I do it?Baowen: Okay. Don't get heatstroke arhhhhhh.*at Dubai Autodrome**1st team to arrive at Dubai Autodrome - Yanzhi & John**2nd team to arrive at Dubai Autodrome - Yuyan & Lisa*Yuyan: How? Should we wait for them to fail?Lisa: If we go back now, we will also be last. Let's take a gamble.Yanzhi: Okay, you have to do this within one attempt.John: *wearing gear* I hope I can succeed.*at Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve*Jenyun: Wow! Your magic map brought us here!Priscilla: Of course!*6th team on 4x4 vehicle - Priscilla & Jenyun**at roadblock*Waisin: My god, it's so warm here. I wanted to ask Timothy to work together but I am sure he wouldn't want to.Timothy: I've found 3 urns but they are all empty. Grrr, this is getting frustrating.Rachel: This desert is so vast. How long do I have to search?Zhenyang: *rips open clue* Roadblock.
Pohchoon: I will die in the heat.Zhenyang: Then what makes you think I won't die in the heat?Jack: I will do it.Sam: Jiayou!Pohchoon: Can't you just shut up and do it? Jack already went into the desert!Zhenyang: Fine! You will do the next one and I hope you have to do some bungee jump and the rope snaps.Pohchoon: SHINGZ YOU LAH!*at Dubai Autodrome**John's 1st attempt*Yanzhi: Oh crap. He stumbled abit at that turn. I hope it doesn't affect his timing too much.
Yuyan: Please be 46 seconds. Please be 46 seconds.
Lisa: Booboo! Continue praying!
*John crosses finish line**Time clocked: 47 seconds*John: Oh shit!Yanzhi: This is looking so bad.Yuyan: YAY! I'm going to do this under 45 seconds!Lisa: Booboo all the way!*at roadblock*Priscilla: Okay so who shall do this detour?Jenyun: Can you do it? I don't want to get sunburnt.Priscilla: Alright.Waisin: Yes! I finally found the urn with water!Timothy: Okay. So there is actually water in some urns!Rachel: I am totally lost. I can't see the boys, I can't find the water. This sucks.Jack: Why is the urn empty? Is it supposed to be empty?Zhenyang: I saw Timothy squatting down there. I'm hoping there's water there.Priscilla: Oh my god. The weather is terrible.*at Dubai Autodrome**Yuyan 1st attempt*Yanzhi: Holy shit! She did that killer turn so smoothly.John: We better run soon.Lisa: BOOBOO! BOOBOO! BOOBOO! BOOBOO!*Yuyan crosses finish line**Time clocked: 43 seconds**Yuyan & Lisa wins Fast Forward*Yanzhi: Let's beat it!John: Crap, this is so shitty.Yuyan: *rips open clue* Take a Maserati to the Pitstop.Yixuan (voice-over): Having won the Fast Forward, Yuyan & Lisa will now skip all task and head directly to the Pitstop, the amphitheatre at Souk Madnet Jimirah. This beautiful amphitheatre, which marks the success of this city, is the fifth Pitstop in the race around the world. The last team to check in, may be eliminated.Lisa: I've never taken a Maserati before in my life.Yuyan: Yeah! This is so cool!*at roadblock**1st team to complete roadblock - Waisin & Karhwee*Waisin: Okay, let's leave quickly. *rips open clue* Drive yourselves to Ski Dubai.Yixuan (voice-over): Teams must now drive themselves back into the city and find Ski Dubai, a resort with more than 2200 square meters of snow.Karhwee: They are throwing us into the freezing winter after torturing under this horrendous heat?Waisin: Cause you're hot then you're cold.*awkward silence*
Waisin: Ops, sorry.*2nd team to complete roadblock - Timothy & Siying**3rd team to complete roadblock - Zhenyang & Pohchoon*Siying: Okay, Ski Dubai.Timothy: Let's go!Pohchoon: That was fast.Zhenyang: Of course, unlike you, so inefficient.Pohchoon: Like hello, I'm praising you. Can't you be more polite?Zhenyang: If I'm not polite, I would have been hurling more unpleasant insults.Pohchoon: Oh whatever. SHINGZ YOU SHINGZ YOU SHINGZ YOU!Zhenyang: Ah shut up.Jack: Finally, an urn with water.Rachel: I am going to faint soon. *peers into urn* Ahh! WATER!Priscilla: I don't even see any urns around here.*at Souk Madnet Jimirah*pitstop greeter: Welcome to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.Lisa: Thank you.Yuyan: Tell us we are first.Yixuan: Yuyan & Lisa, you are team number 1!Lisa: YAY!!!
Yuyan: This is totally awesome! Yixuan: As the winners of this leg of the race, you have won a trip for 2 to Jamaica, compliments of Travelocity. And you can enjoy that after the race.Lisa: I'm so proud of Yuyan! She actually managed to beat the boys in the racing car thing!Yuyan: Aw, it was nothing.*confessionals*Yuyan: Actually, when John came back at 47 seconds, I was doubting if I could beat the timing. But I actually did it, and it left a sense of achievement after that.Lisa: We are first! WOW!*at Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve*Yanzhi: I seriously hope we can catch up.John: We can if we work hard enough.*7th team on 4x4 vehicle - Yanzhi & John**at roadblock**4th team to complete roadblock - Jack & Sam**5th team to complete roadblock - Rachel & Baowen*Sam: Quick, let's get out before they completes it.Jack: My exact sentiments.Baowen: We are going to ski!!!Rachel: Let's go!Priscilla: Great, I finally found water. After I become dead last.*at Ski Dubai**1st team to reach Ski Dubai - Waisin & Karhwee*Waisin: *rips open clue* Detour. Build a Snowman or Find a Snowman.Yixuan (voice-over): A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its pros and cons. In this detour, teams have to choose between 2 frigid tasks under the sweltering heat. The choice, Build a Snowman or Find a Snowman.In Build a Snowman, teams have to carry snow from the frigid conditions inside to the blistering heat outdoors. Then, they have to build a traditional snowman with two coal eyes, a carrot nose, and a top hat. Once done, they will receive their next clue.In Find a Snowman, teams have to take a chairlift up the mountain and then sled down to a mound of snow. Then, they have to search through the massive pile of snow for a tiny snowman buried in it. Once found, they will receive their next clue.Karhwee: Building sounds so much better. Not a luck-based one.*2nd team to reach Ski Dubai - Zhenyang & Pohchoon*Pohchoon: Let's do the building. Who knows how long we will take and how small that shit is.Zhenyang: Okay lor. I never build before snowman in my life*at roadblock**6th team to complete roadblock - Priscilla & Jenyun*Priscilla: Ski Dubai! Let's go!Jenyun: Ahhh!! We are not last! I just saw Yanzhi & John!Priscilla: Great, we will not lose here!Yanzhi: You do the roadblock?John: Okay.*at Build a Snowman detour*
Karhwee: The snow melts very fast.Waisin: How?Karhwee: I think you will take the snow, then I will craft it as you bring it here.Waisin: I like it~Pohchoon: Let's carry one lump and shape it at a time.Zhenyang: But won't it melt very quickly?Pohchoon: You never know until we try.Zhenyang: Whatever. You call the shots.Pohchoon: Bitch, can you sound less sarcastic?*3rd team to reach Ski Dubai - Jack & Sam*Jack: Let's find a snowman.
Sam: And we get to play with the sled! Cool!*4th team to reach Ski Dubai - Timothy & Siying*Timothy: Should have just followed Waisin & Karhwee, then we wouldn't have gotten lost.Siying: Let's build a snowman! I want to build one!Timothy: Okay.*at roadblock*John: This is retarded. Who will find water under such blistering heat in a desert?*at Build a Snowman detour*Zhenyang: Okay, our plan isn't working. One person carry the snow, one person build. Okay?Pohchoon: Try lo.Timothy: Quick, Waisin & Karhwee are almost done!Siying: Okay, let's just make a small scale one.*1st team to complete detour - Waisin & Karhwee*Waisin: *rips open clue* It's the Pitstop!Yixuan (voice-over): Teams must now make their way to the Pitstop, the amphitheatre at Souk Madnet Jimirah.

The last team to check in, may be eliminated.Karhwee: Let's go!Zhenyang: My god, they are done already.Pohchoon: Let's hustle!Timothy: Okay, I think our snowman is looking good.Siying: It's cute! Let's name it believing!*at Find a Snowman detour*Jack: Okay, their definition of 'massive' is really massive.Sam: Let's start digging!*at roadblock**7th to complete roadblock - Yanzhi & John*John: There's still hope.Yanzhi: All is not lost.*at Ski Dubai**5th team to arrive at Ski Dubai - Rachel & Baowen*Rachel: Let's build a snowman!

Let's find a snowman!Priscilla: Okay.*at Build a Snowman detour**2nd team to complete detour - Timothy & Siying**3rd team to complete detour - Zhenyang & Pohchoon*Siying: I don't want to get eliminated. Let's go!Timothy: We have to beat the boys!Pohchoon: Eh they left already! Time to go go go!Zhenyang: I'm right behind you. Go!*at Souk Madnet Jimirah*pitstop greeter: Welcome to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.Yixuan: Waisin & Karhwee, you are team number 2!Karhwee: Expected.Waisin: We have three 2s now.

Why did you help the brothers back at the detour?Jenyun: We are hoping that they might help us back in future and also collecting good karma.*Jack & Sam ran up to map*Yixuan: Kindly step off the mat so I can check them in.*Priscilla & Jenyun steps aside*Yixuan: Jack & Sam, you are team number 6!Sam: Still in this.Jack: We will do our best next leg!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*one taxi pulls in front of amphitheatre**2 people running onto the map*pitstop greeter: Welcome to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.Rachel: Thank you.Yixuan: Rachel & Baowen, you are.....Rachel: Yes?Baowen: Oh no.Yixuan: Team number 7! You are still in the race.Baowen: Oh yay!Rachel: This leg was terrible.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------pitstop greeter: Welcome to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.Yixuan: Yanzhi & John, you are the last team to arrive.
Yanzhi: We know.Yixuan: I'm sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the race.John: We screwed up at the Fast Forward.Yanzhi: And didn't do well enough to catch up with the other teams.John: I think it's a waste for us to make our exit now because I believe that our team has much more potential.Yanzhi: John & I have become better friends through the race. We have learnt more about each other's strengths and weaknesses.John: Coming into this race, I thought I am unable to do many things. But this raced has pushed my limits and even showed that I can drive a racecar! But not that good.Yanzhi: All the best to the remaining teams!Leg 5 Placing:1st - Yuyan & Lisa (Fast Forward)2nd - Waisin & Karhwee3rd - Zhenyang & Pohchoon4th - Timothy & Siying5th - Priscilla & Jenyun6th - Jack & Sam7th - Rachel & Baowen8th - Yanzhi & John (eliminated)
On the next episode of The Amazing Race,the remaining 7 teams raced into Old Dubai. Priscilla & Jenyun's hatred for smoking caused them to blunder in the detour. And Sam tries to stay afloat in the roadblock. A calculating task caused headaches to many teams.Will Waisin & Karhwee break their string of 2nd places?And can Rachel & Baowen make it out of the bottom of the pack?7 teams remain, who will be eliminated next?
