It’s official! Tisha Silang and Geoff Rodriguez are the Philippines’ contenders in “Amazing Race Asia.” Tisha happens to be the ex-GF of Paolo Bediones. What a coincidence that Pao is hosting “Survivor Philippines” while Tisha is competing in another reality show. Survival of the ex-es?

Two-and-a-half S’poreans in new race

THE Amazing Race Asia is back for a third season, but with a twist: Instead of watching just two Singaporeans competing as a pair against other teams from the region, you’ll also see a third Singaporean — playing for another team.

Last season, teams raced through 10 countries, including South Korea, New Zealand and the Czech Republic, in 24 days. Victory eventually went to the Singaporean team of Collin Low and Adrian Yap.

This season, the Singaporean team comprises freelance TV writer-director AD Chan, 34, and her friend of 15 years, 34-year-old teacher Faeza “Fuzzie” Sirajudin (right).

Easy-going and likeable, the duo described themselves as resembling “an old married couple — except we’re not old, we’re not married and we’re not a couple”.

Despite confessing to be physically unfit, AD and Fuzzie revealed that they were more than able to hold their own in other ways, such as “using our minds rather than our bodies”. The race, they said, was a personal challenge.

Not only are they competing against themselves, they are also competing against a fellow countryman: Singaporean Sam Wu, 32, makes up half of team Hong Kong. The university lecturer has been an expatriate in Hong Kong for the last five years. He told Today he considers himself equal parts Singaporean and Hong Kong resident, and did not see a problem regarding what some might view as conflicting loyalties.

His teammate and friend of four years, Vince Chung, is not a native of Hong Kong, either. The 32-year-old stand-up comedian and host is originally Canadian.

Filming commenced here during the middle of the year and lasted a month. While contestants could not reveal details of their experiences, the latest season is “the toughest race ever”, according to Mr Ricky Ow, senior vice-president and general manager of SPE Networks Asia, the parent network of AXN channel. To find out who wins, you’ll have to wait for the season finale on Nov 23.

The Amazing Race Asia 3 debuts Sept 11 on AXN (StarHub Ch 19) at 9pm.
