I think that “ordinary” Filipinos should not attempt to join AXN’s popular reality show The Amazing Race Asia and just try to enjoy watching the show at the comfort of their homes. Because no matter how unique or creative your videos will be, and as long as popular models or stars will send theirs, the stars will always be chosen to represent the Philippines.
The first season of TARA brought us two teams from the Philippines: (1) the pink duo composed of sexy actress Aubrey Miles and model Jacqueline Yu, and (2) the Lopez couple Ernie and Jeena. Ernie is the son of Eugenio Lopez, Jr. and the brother of Eugenio Lopez III, chairman of the local network ABS-CBN. Aside from the Philippines, Malaysia also has two teams in the race. It could have been a good chance for the Philippines to win the race or, at least, to reach the finale, but unfortunately, both teams from the country were the first and second to be eliminated. What a shame!
I suspect that the AXN executives in the Philippines selected only the popular and the influential to compete in TARA. Though the new season brings another celebrity, I am glad they include the interesting couple of the retired US Navy officer Henry Reed and his Filipina wife Terri Reed. The celebrity I’m referring above is no less than Marc Nelson, paired up with his best buddy Rovilson Fernandez. Both worked as TV and event hosts in Manila, with modeling as sidelines. Hmmm, I guess Marc should replace Allan Wu already. The latter’s hosting style is quite annoying. Plus, he’s a Fear Factor loser. Too bad he’s back on screen again.
Looking at our powerhouse teams, I suddenly had high hopes for this season. They better not be eliminated early, else I’ll stop watching the show again. Watch Racers Revealed on November 1, only at AXN.

Every time I hear of that wonderful series Amazing Race, one team uniquely pops in my mind.
REICHEN (my personal hero) AND CHIP.
I just hope Marc and Rovilson wouldn't pull out a Reichen-Chip revelation for the next season. But as always, I'll be eagerly looking forward for that AR-Asia edition.
The 12th season will debut na pala this monday right? Sayang may work pa naman ako. Grrr.. Hehehe.
Ruff, THANKS for coming back. I wonder where all the bloggers have gone. Were they in vacation? Akala ko wala ng magco-comment sa blog ko forever. HaHaHa.
But anyway, I'm just hoping that one or two of our teams will last up to the finale. Before kasi I stopped watching TARA right after Aubrey Miles and Jac got booted. Sana hindi sila maagang matanggal. HeHe.
THANKS again. U save my day.
what time on monday?
Hey, I was actually trying to find that out. I'll inform u, I haven't checked the TV recently.
I hope I get to join the amazing race one day. I heard marc nelson let's guys dig him.
exactly. before you know it, c pacquiao na pala ung kasali.
Bino/Geno, I could be your mate. I was hardly hoping I could join that show. Maybe in their 8th season, or when Allan Wu's not their host already. HaHaHa.
Princess Jackie, you got me there! Or TEAM Erap and Gloria na pala noh? And then we'll call them THE CORRUPTS. LOL.
who are these people they're choosing to represent the philippines?!!
they should chose the real people.
i suggest the tambays.
'coz as far i as i know they can do anything..
not those rich brats.
HaHaHaHa. Hey, Chase, I hope the tambays actually sent their audition tapes and could handle interviews in average English. And you know what, the sad part is, you have to answer all the expenses until you get to be chosen as one of the final racers.
