    Memorable Moments: Christina tells how she feels about her Dad. They were aligning with Azaria and Hendekea in Episode 1. Ron is great at "singing." They finished in first place finish in Croatia! They took third place in legs 4 & 5, 7 & 8 resulting highest places for Asian team (including the one above) for Amazing Race. They also became the first parent-child and Asian-American team in the Final 3. (Excluding Family Edition). Advice to the Team: Have fun, try to get along a bit and less nagging, more teamwork. Ron, listen to Christina more. She's 126 not 6. Otherwise, you guys are doing great.
