      Jeena. At the Rangunan Zoo, teams had to split off and complete a Road Block task. In this task, they needed to choose one person who liked animals. Team members had to walk into a snake pit with some of the world's largest snakes and retrieve a clue from the center of the pit within two minutes. After this, teams were given the Route Info and a Fast Forward.

    Which team won the first season of "The Amazing Race Asia"?"The Amazing Race: Asia" 1.6 (kyleisalive)

      Zabrina and Joe Jer. After the Road Block, teams had to drive to the finish line: Bako National Park. Here, teams needed to ride a flagged speedboat and reach the finish mat on the boardwalk. Joe Jer and Zabrina were the first to land on the mat and won the $100,000 US dollars. They also became the first all-female team to win any edition of "The Amazing Race". Sandy and Francesca placed second soon after and Andrew and Syeon placed third.

    Which team won the Fast Forward in Leg 2?"The Amazing Race: Asia" 1.1 (kyleisalive)

      Sahil and Prashant. In this Fast Forward, teams had to travel six miles to an Indonesian school for another clue. This clue told teams to search the school for children listening to Sony MP3 walkmans. Once a team has found the one child who is listening to the phrase 'you have chosen correctly', they could receive a clue taking them directly to the Pit Stop. Sahil and Prashant were first to arrive despite the fact that Jeena and Ernie left the Zoo first, and they obtained the clue.

    Which team was Yielded in Dubai in Leg 10?"The Amazing Race: Asia" 1.6 (kyleisalive)

      None of them. Upon arrival at Abra Station, all four teams made the decision not to Yield another team. Here, teams obtained their Road Block clue. Before attempting the task, teams needed to travel to Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, where one team member would need to complete a nine hole golf course using only a putter and a single club. Once they completed all nine holes, they could obtain their next clue.

    Which team was last to arrive at the Pit Stop in Leg 4?"The Amazing Race: Asia" 1.2 (kyleisalive)

      Howard and Sahran. After the Road Block, teams were instructed to take a ferry to the Circular Quay station and then take a water taxi to the Tall Bounty located in Sydney Harbour. This ship held the fourth Pit Stop. Although they were fourth to the Road Block, Andrew and Syeon were first to arrive at the Pit Stop. The last team to arrive was Howard and Sahran though Leg 4 was a pre-determined non-elimination leg. They also incurred a four hour penalty because Howard quit the diving Road Block.

    Which team was last to arrive at the Pit Stop in Leg 10?"The Amazing Race: Asia" 1.6 (kyleisalive)

      Mardy and Marsio. After the Detour, teams were told to go to Modern Jewelery Shop in Gold Souk. Here, they could claim their final clue for this leg of the race.

The first team to arrive here was Sandy and Francesca while the last was Mardy and Marsio. This leg was the final non-elimination leg of the race, so they were spared from elimination.

      Sandy and Francesca. After filming locals, teams needed to take a ferry across Sydney Harbour to the suburb of Manly, nearly eleven kilometers away.

    Which team was eliminated in the sixth leg of the race?"The Amazing Race: Asia" 1.3 (kyleisalive)

      Aubrey and Jacqueline. After the Detour, teams needed to travel to the Uluwatu Caves, where they could receive another clue.

Sandy and Francesca, who were first to step in front of the Yield, decided to use it to their advantage by Yielding Andy and Laura. This is because of cab troubles earlier in the leg.
