Great new tracks from Lee Euijin, Kang Daniel, VANNER, WHIB, TIOT
Welp, after a few solid weeks, we’re back to more wobbly footing with Pulang Araw. Dare I say it was quite a boring week, to be honest.
The day continues for the teams as they begin the 8th Leg by driving to the Skeleton Coast.
The 7th Leg of the Race takes teams to Namibia where they start the Leg at Walvis Bay International Airport. The first clue, including 365 Namibian dollars, directs teams to drive themselves into the Namib Desert to find Dune 7, one of the highest in the world.
Shoma is shocked to wake up to a Granute looking down on him. He quickly henshins and knocks the Granute onto the bed. But the Granute is excited to see Shoma is doing well after the surgery and to see the Gochizo’s power first h and. He’s just annoyed though that Bouche had not told him of his progress sooner.
Meanwhile, Sakito heads to Hashiri Curry, a new curry restaurant that’s opened up, to give it a try. But he is confused after his plate is empty after only one bite. He tells Byundi that the one bite was delicious, but he wants his full plate.
The Race begins as a tangled mess trips up teams before a cultural journey results in one of the most nail-biting races to the Mat ever!
Thirteen brand new teams arrive at the Amphitheater at the University of the Philippines for the Starting Line. This first Leg will be a CashKarera Leg. So teams will be Racing to bank money at every Route Marker and task while also Racing to avoid a Non-Elimination penalty in the next Leg.
SIX! refreshingly great tracks for the season from XODIAC, ASC2NT, POW, GEMINI, Nam Woo Hyun, ONLEE.
Definitely the strongest week of Pulang Araw yet. Obviously not perfect still. But this week’s episodes definitely delivered what I think many (myself included) came into the series for.
