Old School Mates?

I have high expectations for Eric & Rona. Never watched them on Philippine TV, but Rona immediately charms in their audition video. She could be hilariously awesome.

Cast Thoughts and Prediction (after watching most audition vids)
1. Tom/Anita- I hope their a fun couple and not the couple that breaks down and fights a lot.
2. Chloe/Yvonne
3. Brandon/Alphaeus- I could see them winning but also the other way around. They seem like contenders.
4. Rachel/Vicky- I could see them bicker here and there.
5. Louisa/Treasuri- They remind me of Zabrina's team from S1 minus the winning aspect. I think they could be the underdogs like Lucy/Emilia.
6. JK/Mike- They seem loud with dominant personalities.
7. Eric/Rona- Average couple. Reminds me of Tyson/Sally.
8. Lisa/Nicole- Love this team because their literally a team of firsts and fun.
9. Rei/Kenji
10. Parul/Maggie
11. Alex/Will- I hope they don't become full of themselves.

--- Quote from: Maanca on July 28, 2016, 12:01:50 PM ---Did TAR Asia in previous seasons reveal the cast before filming, or is this a new thing like with the US?
Looks like a terrific cast, but while I hate to sound like one of the common Canadian complaints ("there should be a team from every province"), another country or two could have been represented. No China or India, the 2 countries that together are 1/3 of the earth's population :P
Also, love a couple of those names. Treasuri, Alphaeus.

All thsese casts were selected purely from ASEAN countries...
unlike previous seasons, where some outer ASEAN also included (India, Japan)
oh well, wish the best of luck for all the racers...
