Teams arrive in Pila and get the clue, this season's first:
ROADBLOCK
"Who has an animal instinct?"
The chosen team member must ride in a motortrike sidecar [similar to a tuktuk] to a rice paddy, where they must use a carabao (ox)-driven plow to plow a figure eight path through the field, steering through marked poles. Teams are given instructions on steering the plow beforehand, and are allowed to ask for assistance from watching farmers if they go off course, but must restart the task if they do so.
The chosen team members arrive at the field:
1) Marc
2) Pamela
3) Kinaryosih
4) Diane
5) Aurelia
6) Collin
7) Natasha
8) Daichi

And finish the task:
1) Marc (Marc 1, Rovilson 0)

Bus #5:
6=) Adrian/Collin, Natasha/Paula
Bus #6:

Both tasks involved in this Detour take place in the Carriedo LRT Station in Santa Cruz, Manila, and teams must travel there in their jeepney before starting.
Teams selecting HEEL must match five hundred shoes mixed up in a marked area into their 250 pairs. PROS: Not physical. CONS: Requires a lot of patience.
Teams selecting WHEEL must completely and correctly build a bicycle from its component parts, using tools provided. PROS: Mechanical teams can finish quickly. CONS: Could be confusing and complicated.

Money for this race leg: $46.00
Money for the entire race: $46.00
Day One
Thursday, July 5th, 2007
In Singapore, the ten teams are transported to the starting line at the Asian Civilisations Museum. In order of appearance in the season's opening credits, they are:
1) Pamela/Vanessa, sisters representing Malaysia
2) Edwin/Monica, dating couple representing Hong Kong
3) Marc/Rovilson, best friends representing the Philippines
4) Terri/Henry, married couple representing the Philippines
5) Diane/Ann, "dancing mums" representing Malaysia
6) Adrian/Collin, gym buddies representing Singapore
7) Sophie/Aurelia, ex-housemates representing Singapore
8) Daichi/Sawaka, brother and sister representing Japan [and the first Japanese TAR team]
9) Kinaryosih/Brett, dating couple representing Indonesia
10) Natasha/Paula, childhood friends representing Thailand
At the Asian Civilisations Museum, Allan briefs the teams and reminds them that the prize is US$100,000. When he says go, teams run to their backpacks and read the first clue, placed on top of the bags. The clue contains a postcard showing a Singaporean landmark. Teams must search within a 300-yard radius (around 270 metres) of the museum for a taxi which has a figurine of the landmark shown in their picture. There are ten taxis with different figurines and teams find theirs, getting their next clue from the cab driver:
1) Pamela/Vanessa
2) Sophie/Aurelia
3) Marc/Rovilson
4) Adrian/Collin
5) Diane/Ann
6) Natasha/Paula
7) Kinaryosih/Brett
8) Daichi/Sawaka
9) Edwin/Monica
10) Terri/Henry
The next clue directs teams to take their taxi to Faber Point and find the Merlion, which they do in bunches:
1) Pamela/Vanessa
2) Adrian/Collin
3) Marc/Rovilson
-----
4) Sophie/Aurelia
5) Diane/Ann
6) Kinaryosih/Brett
7) Natasha/Paula

Teams are told to take a Nokia N95 GPS and use it to direct the driver to the next clue. The directions lead to Suntec City Mall, where teams arrive in the same order (though Sophie/Aurelia and Diane/Ann pull ahead of the teams they were bunched with), and find their first:
Dare <--DETOUR--> Stair
Teams selecting DARE must take an elevator to the roof of Tower Three, and complete a Tyrolean (hand-over-hand) Traverse to get to the next clue on the adjacent Tower Four. PROS: Task is much quicker. CONS: Task takes place 181 metres (just short of 600 feet) above the ground, so is likely to be scary.
Teams selecting STAIR must climb the stairs to the roof of Tower Three, return to the lobby, walk to Tower Four, and climb to the cluebox on the roof. PROS: Not scary. CONS: Both towers are 45 floors high, so the task will be very physically demanding, and much slower.
All ten teams choose Dare, and finish:
1) Adrian/Collin
2) Marc/Rovilson
3) Pamela/Vanessa
4) Sophie/Aurelia
5) Diane/Ann
6) Daichi/Sawaka

9) Terri/Henry
10) Edwin/Monica

The first eight teams all manage to arrive at Changi International Airport in time to take the same Singapore Airlines flight to Manila arriving later that afternoon. Terri/Henry and Edwin/Monica arrive too late to make this flight, and are relegated to the next flight on Singapore Airlines a couple of hours later.
In Manila, teams arrive at the CCP Complex:
1) Marc/Rovilson
2) Pamela/Vanessa
3) Diane/Ann
4) Adrian/Collin
5) Daichi/Sawaka
6) Kinaryosih/Brett
7) Sophie/Aurelia
8) Natasha/Paula

1) Pamela/Vanessa
2) Marc/Rovilson
3) Adrian/Collin, who lose their cab to the departing Pamela/Vanessa when they arrive
4) Diane/Ann
5) Kinaryosih/Brett
6) Sophie/Aurelia
7) Natasha/Paula
8) Daichi/Sawaka
9) Terri/Henry
