Amazing Race Asia

January 8, 2008

So the race is still on and there are 6 teams left battling out to be the winner. By the way if you don’t know ARA (Amazing Race Asia). Here’s a brief summary. ARA is quite similar to the American edition. The basic premise is the same, namely that teams must follow clues and complete tasks to check in to pit stops in a race around the world. It’s a TV show that let the teams compete on who will be able to complete their task first. They are being test physically and mentally. It’s compose of the following coutries SIngapore, Philippines, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hongkong, and Thailand. The 6 remaining teams are 2 from the Philippines, 2 from Malaysia, 1 from Singapore and 1 from Thailand. Here are a few descriptions regarding our potential winners.

From:

Philippines

 

 

 

 

 

 

No Amazing Race show can be without its hunk factor and that is where Marc and Rovilson from the Philippines come in. This is one team with the two flamboyant individuals, who dish out a mixture of comedy and ego with a ton of sass. Both TV hosts by day, Rovilson also works as a magazine editor while Marc is a model, whose face, and rather well toned body, has graced the cover of many magazines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
When it comes to the discipline, dedication and effort placed in getting things done, nothing prepares you quite like the military and after over 20 years of serving his country, retired United States Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Henry Reed, together with his wife, Terri, is taking all he knows about travelling around the world and putting them into competing in The Amazing Race Asia.

 

Singapore

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Young, energetic and passionate about their fitness regime, gym buddies, Collin and Adrian from Singapore are in such good shape that they could be the perfect poster boys for being fit and healthy. In fact, one can hardly tell that this team holds a secret which can prove to either be a setback or a huge advantage in The Amazing Race Asia! The jovial pair will proudly tell you, and expressively too, that Adrian has a hearing disability and relies on sign language to communicate with his teammate, Collin.

 

Thailand

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One works as a VJ in Bangkok, Thailand, and is a rising, hot starlet, having appeared in several Thai movies since 2002. The other is more than likely a sight for sore eyes at the mining company where she works at, dealing with, well, explosives. What Paula Taylor and Natasha Monks have in common, besides turning 24 this year and in possession of sizzling good looks, is a lifetime of friendship and the intent to win The Amazing Race Asia.

 

Malaysia 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When it comes to The Amazing Race Asia, there is an unspoken pressure for Pamela, 24, and Vanessa, 29, to bring home the top prize. Yes, both Malaysians realize that there is a lot riding on them to perform well, since the winners of the inaugural The Amazing Race Asia were Malaysian and also an all female team!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can call them the desperate housewives of Malaysia - housewives who are desperate for new challenges and adventure that is. And what better way to discover excitement than to pack their bags and take off on The Amazing Race Asia. These two longtime dancing buddies are trying to prove that after family commitments, everything else they undertake should be as easy as performing hip hop or funk jazz.

 

 

 

So that’s all our players left. Which team will be the winner? Just stay tune at AXN-Asia. All descriptions and photos of the players are from Amazing Race Asia at AXN.com
