Amazing Race 6

Well, the race has begun again and I have not blog of it yet. The new rule in this round of the race is that each member of the participants can only participate in 6 of the road blocks. This will seriously hold some teams back. Also I have notice from the past two episode, the racer gets to overnight at midpoint before elimination the next day, this gives level the playing field and any gain accumulated earlier previous day is gone. Not sure if the entire race this will continue.

On this day..







Amazing Race 6

Yes, the Amazing race is back with Season 6, November 16th, the race around the world begins. The usual mix of characters fill majority of the cast with the usual Grandparents, Parents, Long distance, Models, Father-Daughter, Sisters, Bestfriends, and a new odd couple and this season it is the Wrestling family. Here are the winners for the past 5 Amazing Race, who will take the Million this time? Well, looking at the past race winnings below, it has bee 3 friends and 2 married couple, if I were to make a non-intelligent guess, it would be a Married couple winning this time.

Amazing Race 5 - Chip & Kim (Married Parents)
Amazing Race 4 - Reichen & Chip (Married Couple)
Amazing Race 3 - Flo & Zach (Friends)
Amazing Race 2 - Chris & Alex (Friends)
Amazing Race 1 - Rob & Brennan (Best Friends)

The biggest winner so far has been Phil Keoghan, who has been busy with his new show, NOW (No Opportunity Wasted) on the discovery channel. As usual, Phil will be at the scene and walk the audience through the task of the participants. But it just does not feel right as we all know Phil in Amazing Race and this new show just don?t feel right. Well, that?s just my perspective. The new show is a win win for participants, community and even the audience gets a kick from watching them. The participants would usually have a dream, and it would usually(sometimes not) involve community work, such as building a boxing club for the local kids to stay out of the streets or making a picture to create awareness for the US veteran soldiers who?s country has abandon them. And Phil has a new book that goes by the show title too…..

On this day..







Amazing Race 6

As Amazing as the race gets, a surprising annoucement was made last night, a new Amazing race-season 6. Seson 5 is yet to be completed, and Season 6 is starting on Sept 25. Yes, Sept 25. With this new annoucement, I am predicting a new surprise, which is the top 3 from season 5, when they have reached the finish line, will have the opportunity to join the new race for another 1 million dollars.

Will this back to back feature kill the race, Will the viewers be tired of the race?? Well, we will see. The Season 6 casting was in secret, and the production was also very quiet. The Season 6 site has little to no information at all, except on the airing date. With such secrecy, I am sure there are bound to be surprises. Could this be the season where the winners from previous seasons returns? Well Survivor has done it with thier All Stars series last season, even fear factor has “Fear Factor Secon Chance” for those who did not win the first time round. We will know by Sept 25.

Anyway, in last night’s race, as usual Colin got #1 and Chip got second, guess this is the scene that we have seen too often. Maybe Chip’s stratergy to get Colin’s team to self destruct will work. Will see in the next episode where Christie demanded more respect from Colin. I am also interested to see how Brandon and Nicole can survive in India without any money. “Lord help them”…

On this day..



Amazing Race 5 final episode was aired on Astro’s AXN last Wednesday. Although I didn’t get to watch it, my sister called from home to tell me the results. It was as I expected. I hate Collin and Christie to the max. Thank God they didn’t win.
P.S. Brandon & Nicole survived well in India without any money. If I’m not wrong, after India, they proceeded to New Zealand.
