After coming in last three times in a row, Terri & Henry were finally eliminated in The Amazing Race Asia 2 Episode 9. Somehow, that was long overdue. The poster kids for controversy, you can feel the show hoping against hope that the old couple pull it together if only to have more shouting and drama in the show. The rest of the pack is quite a snooze with only Rovilson & Marc and Adrian & Collin showing the grits and the mental ability to finish the race. With the exception of Anne & Diane, the remaining teams are a good-natured happy bunch and show no sharp claws towards the other teams. They all hate Anne & Diane, and the reasons for that remain to be concretized. The bickering sisters Vanessa & Pamela are getting too dramatic.

Teams headed to Budapest, Hungary, 443km away by train. Adrian & Colling outsmarted everyone else by taking a connecting train ride that left earlier instead of a direct ride that left two hours later. They won the tenth leg by a considerable margin with Marc & Rovilson in second. Third goes to Pamela & Vanessa, fourth to Ann & Diane and fifth to Paula & Natasha who were not eliminated.

Just how many non-elimination legs are there?

Manual cars have provided entertainment again. Not all teams were skilled at driving manual cars, and the struggle with them have brought mishaps that are nice in the beginning but have just dragged on throughout the episode.
