The Amazing Race Asia

Episode 5 (3x5)

: 11, 2008

As it stands, two teams have decided to bail out of the race by taking the four hour penalty for not completing a challenge. Can the other teams muster enough strength to continue with the race, or will more choose to take the easy way out? After the task at the Sony Style Store, teams received a Fast Forward option. The Fast Forward was to travel to a certain street, where there will find a clue box. The clue would then instruct them to get a permanent tattoo at Kevin's Tattoo. The Roadblock was to find a souvenir, which would later be revealed to be a small silver token that had the AXN logo on one side and The Amazing Race Asia logo on the other side in a cart of coal. In this leg's Detour the choice was between Pick or Pail. In Pick, teams had to drive themselves to a local mall and retrieve three soft toys from a game machine. In Pail, teams had to go to the Grand Tong Temple and must fill a bucket full of water and carry it to the top of the mountain where a monk will check to see if they had enough water. If they have enough they will receive their next clue.
