Hey everyone! Himmy is very excited today~ Because it’s our Wallace’s birthday!! 😀

He’s officially 40th years old now lol. We’ll keep loving you Wallace~ No matter what age you are 😉

Happy birthday Wallace! ❤ I wish you happy everyday! Keep looking young! Most importantly, stay healthy and keep making good drama! 😀 There’s more I want to write but I can’t express in words how much I love him. 😮 I love his smile, his attitude, his determination, his kindness, his talent, his optimistic, and much much more! lol this is becoming a love letter to Wallace. 😛

He doesn’t need to be perfect, he’s already perfect just the way he is. This is the Wallace that I love.

Still looks young as always. 🙂

To celebrate it, here’s a nice fanmade video dedicated to Wallace.

Everyone is welcome to leave a comment or greeting for our ‘little wa’ (including you, silent readers 😉 )

Peanuts: Happy Birthday Wallace Chung ! 40 Amazing Years & More for the Cute & Charming Chung ! LOL Thanks to Won for doing the banners for me.

Ok back to TAR now, haha…..Athens was the next stop!

In this episode they went to Athens, Greece. But before they started their challenges, they needed to vote for a team to U-turn. The night before, the couple and the two guys came to Wallace’s room to discuss and collaborate so that they won’t get the U-turn. The couple think Ekin’s team is strong and suggested to give the U-turn to them but the two guys worked with Ekin’s team before, so they were reluctant to give them the U-turn. Instead, they suggested Calvin’s team. Wallace has to make the decision but he avoided it, saying that he’ll follow the majority since he has given U-turn before. In the end, they decided it by sortition, and that unlucky team with 3-0 votes was Calvin’s team…

Peanuts:  I don’t like how they bullied poor Calvin. Each of the team should just vote according to their wishes and not enter into an agreement. I think that 2 model guys are the instigators and WC was just following the crowd. The Olympic couple should get the U-turn since they are so strong.

Look at this cutie pie, trying to pull an innocent face? lol

When they voted on the next day, Calvin voted Wallace and thought they won’t be voted since they’re not as strong as other teams… oopsie~

Peanuts: Cunning Chung ! lol

The first task was to go to an antique market to make a pottery as per the sample provided and must be approved by the judge. They were given 6 slabs of clay and if they used them up without passing, they’ll be given 15 minutes penalty.

Can I have that water bottle please? >.<

The couple was the first to finish the task, since Angel learned this before. They were really kind to tell Wallace their technique, thus Wallace completed the task right after that. The other teams were all unable to do it and got 15 minutes penalty.

Peanuts: WC is being impatient again and I think Jackie will be able to do it better & faster 😛 Oh, look at the heart warming moment between the 2 siblings, feeding WC water lol.

Next, they needed to match the equipment for four gods and goddess correctly and say ‘please come to life’ in Greek in order to get the next clue. Wallace tried many rounds without success, they almost tried every equipment there. They really needed to calm down and think carefully. Luckily, the other teams haven’t reached yet but the time wasted here made them unable to catch up with the couple.

Lol so cute (Yes, I think he looks cute no matter what he does.)

Everyone thought God of Wisdom should hold the olive branch. Ekin was really smart because he’ll look at her eyes to see her reactions, every time he gave her something. Hence, he was successful in one try!

Peanuts: Knowing that they are going to Greece, shouldn’t WC or Jackie does some preparatory work like looking at the pictures of the Greek mythlogy Gods? They did pretty bad here, the scatter gun approach 😦

Wallace finally placed everything correctly, and the next task they need to choose between:

1) Use a big slingshot to hit the target with watermelons from 15 feet away. Each round can sling 10 times. After each round, they can choose to switch challenger. They need to complete it in 5 rounds, if not they have to do the other task or get time penalty.

2) They need to go to a library and memorize an Archimedes principle that has been written on the board. It’ll only show for 20 seconds in every 30 seconds. After they’ve memorized it, they needed to find the so-called ‘Archimedes’ and one person has to recite it to him to get the next clue. (Calvin was the only team who had chosen this task)

Wallace chosen the first task. He used the slingshot that the couple team used before but he failed in the first round since he didn’t notice that the leather that held the watermelon can be adjusted which would made it easier to sling. After they noticed that, they succeeded immediately.

Wallace said it needed a lot of strength to sling, so he didn’t even let Jackie try even though she’s a firefighter. Such a sweet brother. 🙂

Peanuts: Oh, another memorable moment of the 2 siblings working well together. WC could have done better but as usual, he was impatient and didn’t look plus think properly.

After finishing this task, they proceeded to find out the result of the voting. Of course Calvin’s team has the highest vote. Thus, they needed to do the slingshot too. Jordan was hoping the couple was the one to be given the U-turn since they’re very strong.

Next, they reached ‘Archeon Gefseis’ an ancient Greece restaurant. In there, one person will time travel to ancient Greece, whereas the other one will pick one question about something seen or experienced in the time travelling. After the question was answered correctly they can get the next clue, but if the answer was wrong, they needed to do the time travel again and another question will be chosen.

Everyone looked happy when they went in for the first time. 😀

I think Wallace should be the one to do this task since he has good visual memory. The questions that Wallace picked were ‘What is the name of the lady in white who sat on the table?’ ‘How many candles are there on the dining table?’ ‘What color is the clothes wore by the first person who held your hand?’ Jackie answered pink which is correct.

The couple was very lucky, Angel guessed the correct answer on her second try and left very quickly.

Peanuts: I agree with Himmy that WC should have done this task, so that I can watch more of his feet while they were being washed, lol.

The next stop was the Panathenaic Stadium, where they needed to complete a 3,000 meters marathon (8 laps) together, before proceeding to the final destination.

Initially, they thought only one person was needed to do this task and Jackie volunteered, saying 3,000 meters is a piece of cake. lol Since she’s a firefighter, I think this is just like normal training for her.

Thanks to this task I get to see Wallace’s sexy legs. 😛

Haha, the two guys said Jackie looked more relaxed compared to Wallace. Wallace initially thought he’ll control their speed and taking care of Jackie but it turned out to be the opposite. 😀 Wallace heard the bell and thought they’ve completed, but it actually meant they still have one lap left. Obviously, Wallace seldom jogs because after the 5th laps, he already started to push himself. He asked Jackie if she still can run faster. When Jackie said ‘Can run a little bit faster’, poor Wallace, looked annoyed 😀

Peanuts: Found this gif especially for Himmy, showing WC taking off his clothes as well as showing his shapely legs, lol. Did you notice the 2 siblings have been wearing leggings and pants until this race? This is pretty boring except looking at WC’s sexy legs, lol.

Thank you, Peanut! So hot! I love looking at Wallace taking off his clothes the most! 😀 Yes! I always complaint that Wallace was showing too little skin! He always wore long sleeves and long pants. Although I think he looks good with three quarter sleeves, he doesn’t need to wear them all the time!

Lastly, they needed to walk to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Wallace arrived second since they failed to catch up with the couple.

The couple will be given a GPS in the next leg since they were first. How come last time Wallace didn’t get any prize but the couple always got good prizes? 😦

Peanuts: Yes, so unfair to WC. He doesn’t need useless prize like the free 1 year supply of milk, lol. But some help in the race is always welcome. Honestly, this episode feels a bit dull after the high of the last 2 episodes. WC didn’t seem to be in his tiptop condition but nonetheless still managed to come second, so congrats!

The team who wins the next leg will be given a revive card to revive any eliminated team of their choosing. Many people wanted to revive the youngest team since they’ve eliminated too early.

This was a non-elimination leg which means Calvin’s team was saved but they’ll have to do an extra task in the next leg. I actually hope they got eliminated because I’m so done with his partner. Every time, she appears I just wanted to press fast  forward.  All she did was   complained and cried.

Peanuts: I don’t like the youngest team because that girl is useless and pampered, everything also dare not do 😦 Thus, what is the point of taking part in the race?

Next week there’ll be diving and viking in Santorini! 😮

Peanuts:  Oppa, you’ve finally arrived in South Korea, add oil 🙂

Peanuts: Oppa, you look good in your hanbok, better looking than a Korean 😛 I’ll support WC all the way back to HK, go go go WC…heehee…..

Peanuts: In appreciation of Himmy and my effort in writing this special feature on TAR, WC is giving the rose to us, lol.

I happily accept it! But there’s only one 😮

BTW Can you recognize who is this guy?…  lol

Peanuts: After racing around the world, WC is back to HK, his home turf 🙂

Peanuts: Final in Shenzhen, who is the winner? If you are eager to know, leave a comment and I’ll email you personally 😛

Himmy is very jealous of those lucky fans. > <
