On this season, 5 teams will embark on a new journey around the world, into 5 different countries. Mainly Calgary Canada, Finland, Korea, Fiji and United States. This season we focused on realism with all the brand new elements including money and transports. The teams were rather close and tied down together. The winning team won by less than 3 mins! Let's meet the teams (in winning order):
TEAM PYTHAGORAS Justin&ZiCheng Relationship = Ex-Winner/Runnerup Country= Newfoundland Canada & Singapore Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because... we know how to get around quickly and easily, and know how to save time....as we proved when we got 1st and 2nd on Virtual TAR#2... He's a great guy and i think he's really cool.....
If you are lost, how will you get home? = First, I will get help from ...Any english speaking people that I can find... I would then try to sell anything that I had with me to get enough money for a plane ticket...and then I'd fly home...(of course)
Team Philliminator Brandon & Hao Relationship = AR Hosts Country=Singapore
I think WE will WIN the game because i really think that we have such a great friendship! We have said "You have been eliminated from the race." to many racers, and we really hope that we will not even hear a word from this phrase from Shieh.....haha... If you are lost, how will you get home? = USD$1000 is a lot of cash!! Yeah we can do alot of things with it.....
Firstly, we will find our way to some crowded places whereby there is lots of food and shopping!!! Yeah....shop till we drop b4 going to look for some help....(it is really such a rare occassion that we will be stranded on some unfamiliar lands)....so juz make the full use out of it!! And then we will wait for the cops to come....haha....
Team E.W.C (East West Coast) Chris & Danny Relationship = Online Pals Country: United States (Chris-Califonia, Danny-Florida)
The relationship between us is a really unique one. We met through our good friend Ray and we've been online friends ever since. We've had our differences a couple of times but I think we can handle this game and make this a growing experience for us both. We think we can win because I think we have the mental capability of psyching out our opponents and intimidating them, making them weak in the bones and pull ahead for a clean cut victory.
If you are lost, how will you get home? First, we would use all $1000 dollars to buy the sexiest and sleeziest clothes this side of the western hemisphere. Second, we would go on the street and become male prostitues to all men and women who would have us. Then, we would make as much money as possible and continue doing so until we have enough money to buy a plane, and fly away safely home.
Team Harbase Alaric&Boonkiat Relationship = School prefects Country= Singapore
Reasons for winning the game = I think I will win the game because... we are quite IT-savvy and I believe we would definitely make Singapore proud this time..
If you are lost, how will you get home? = First, I will get help from ... one of the embassy in the country who offers english speaking staff and hopefullt through them, buy a ticket home.. however i think goin to the airport straight away would be better cos i believe that there would be some english speaking staff there..
Team Loner Melvin Country= Singapore *Our poor melvin got abandoned by his younger brother to play the game alone.
