EPISODE 13
FINAL DESTINATION (PART 2)
The sisters pick up their clue at the Dunes, as Collin and Adrian climb the steps to the top of the lighthouse, and meet the lighthouse keeper. So where are teams headed to next?
"Malaysia?" asks Collin. The keeper shakes his head, and Collin continues, "Singapore?" This time, the keeper breaks out in a wide grin and hands the gym buddies their next clue.
"Singapore, here we come," cheers Collin with glee, as teams must now travel to the Raffles Statue near the Asian Civilisations Museum, for their next clue. This is also good news as the location of the statue is right next to where teams started off from in the beginning of the race.
Marc and Rovilson are the second to reach the lighthouse, and immediately guess correctly that they are headed for Singapore. Towards the evening, the Malaysian sisters arrive and also surmise correctly that Singapore is the next destination. "When we found out we were going to Singapore, we knew there was still hope to do better," explains Pamela.
And she is correct. Arriving at the airport, she finds the other two teams waiting to get seats on the first flight to Singapore. All three teams get tickets for the same flight, and after travelling 9,700km, land in Singapore and very much closer to their last pitstop.
Dashing out of the airport terminal, Marc and Rovilson are the first to grab a taxi and urges the driver to step on it. "I know there are speed rules in this beautiful country of yours but if you can just push the edge, like that right there," says Rovilson, pointing to a car that overtakes them.
In another taxi behind them, Collin asks his driver to speed up. In Mandarin, he explains to the driver his predicament, and about the race and how it is important that they show up ahead at the statue.
At the statue of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the founding father of Singapore, Marc and Rovilson pull out the first clue, which guides them towards the Tanjong Beach in Sentosa for their next clue. Adrian and Collin are right behind them, and pick up the same clue. But when they leave, they see Marc and Rovilson hopping into a taxi that was waiting for them.
The gym buddies forget to ask their taxi driver to wait for them and have to spend time looking for another taxi. As the sisters pull in, the gym buddies are still looking for a taxi.
This time, Marc is extremely pleased in having the foresight of having their driver wait for them. Pamela is also looking forward to getting to the beach as the sisters have an advantaged. Says Pamela with a laugh, "We are going to win as long as Vanessa is not driving."
In their new taxi, Collin is worried about their positioning. "Every minute counts now since we wasted time getting a cab," he laments, even as Adrian tries to calm him down. |
