dating couple amanda & kris bacame the fourth team to be eliminated in the 14th season of amazing race asia. this came after some unfortunate events that happened in the leg.at the start of the leg, teams were instructed to fly from romania to siberia. 3 teams got a headstart since they caught an earlier flight, which were christie & jodi, kisha & jen and mark & michael. but when they arrived at krasnoyarsk hydroelectric dam, it will only open at 8:30am. fortunately, it was not enough for the other teams to catch up.
they were next instructed to go to saint innokenty church where they encountered a detour. the detour is a choice between stack or construct. in stack, teams need to stack wood similar and in front of an existing stack of wood. in construct, teams need to assemble a local style window panel and install it in a marked house. most of the teams chose stack but bvecame frustrated when the stack fell. three teams switched tasks, which are mel & mike, mark & michael and amanda & kris.
after the u turn, teams encounters a detour, with a twist. in previous seasons, when a team uses the u turn, they must also post their pictures on the bottom part of the board. in this blind u turn, they will not post their own pictures, leaving everyone wondering who used the u turn.
the first three teams (christie & jodi, kisha & jen and tammy & victor) opted not to use the blind u turn. upon arrival at the blind u turn post, margie & luke thought that they are in danger since the last 5 teams are fighting for their lives. so they decided to use it and u turn amanda & kris.
the three teams that switched to construct finished far behind the ones that finished stack. they almost finished at the same time. so when amanda & kris finished their task and saw they were u turn-ed, they reacted quite nicely, as if they expected it. they also needed to finish the stack task.
the other teams meanwhile proceeded to bobrovy log park, where they encountered a roadblock. one team member needs to ride bobsled course and finish in 4 minutes or less. along the course, they need to look for letters. after the ride, they would write the letters and if they completed the 7 leters, they need to form a name of a famous russian author, who is chekov.
after the roadblock, they were instructed to go to krasnoyarsk theater of musical comedy, which is the 4th pit stop of the race. the rankings for this leg is as follows:
1. christie & jodi
2. kisha & jen
