Season 3

The second season of The Amazing Race Asia is a reality television game show based on the American series, The Amazing Race. The second season of the show features ten teams of two with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world to win US$100,000.

This season premiered on 22 November 2007 at 9PM (UTC+8) and ended on 14 February 2008 at 9PM (UTC+8).

Singaporean gym buddies Adrian Yap and Collin Low were the winners of this Race.

Production

Development and filming

The Race's Starting Line was at Empress Lawn at the mouth of the Singapore River.

The second season of The Amazing Race Asia covered 50,000 kilometres (31,000 mi) (the longest route to date of The Amazing Race Asia) in 24 days racing across 4 continents, including the first time an Amazing Race franchise visited the Czech Republic, a nation that had not been visited by the original version at the time of air (the nation would later be visited in the 15th season, in 2009.).[2][3] The show adopted newer rules from the original American version, such as the non-elimination penalty where the team who checked in last must make it to first place in the next leg or else incur the 30 minute penalty. Production made the Race more competitive by imposing more self-driving and reducing the chance of teams being bunched up on the same airplane flight.[4]

This season had two different penalties for coming in last on a non-elimination leg. Edwin & Monica were marked for elimination for coming in last on the first leg, and Henry & Terri were stripped of all their money and had to begin the next leg with no money after coming in last on the seventh leg. Racers were not told that the original non-elimination penalty was still applicable. This twist led to an argument between Henry and host Allan Wu at the Seoul Pit Stop, when the former was unwilling to give up his team's money.[5] In the following leg, the penalty reverted to the 'marked for elimination' penalty after Terri & Henry finished last consecutively.

Cast

This season featured 10 teams chosen from 2500 applicants, including racers from the original American series.[2] Final applications were accepted 13 April 2007 (two weeks after the original deadline). This season was also open to the Japanese, who were ineligible for Season 1. Final interviews were held sometime in April or May 2007. Filming took place sometime in June or July 2007.[6][7]

This season's cast included reunited siblings, childhood friends, and dating couples.[2] Notably, Adrian is the first hearing-impaired contestant in Amazing Race history.[8] It also featured a large number of local media personalities or their relatives. Monica represented Toronto, Ontario, Canada and won the 1997 Miss Chinese International Pageant,[9] while Paula is a Channel [V] VJ.[4] Vanessa and Pamela are the sisters of famous Malaysian singer Vince Chong.[10] Kinaryosih is a famous Indonesian movie actress and model, who has also won a Citra Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2006.[11] Sophie is a filmmaker for the Discovery Channel,[12] as well as a correspondent for the Asian Film Festival.[13] Marc is a model and host of the Philippine sports show Sports Unlimited, while Rovilson is a host for another similar show, Gameplan and an editor for Maxim Philippines.[14]

This season features three non-Asians. One is Henry, a former US Navy Petty Officer, who raced with his Filipina wife Trinidad (better known as Terri).[15] The other is Aurelia, a Frenchwoman residing in Hong Kong who raced with her Singaporean ex-housemate Sophie,[1][16] while Brett is of Australian nationality.

Henry Reed died on May 21, 2013 at the age of 53.[citation needed]

Marc & Rovilson winning eight legs of this Race was, at the time, a record set for winning the most legs in a single season, which would later be matched by the winning team Rachel & Dave of twentieth season of the original American version and Tom & Tyler from the fourth season of the Australian version.

Future appearances

Paula Taylor appeared on the first leg of The Amazing Race Asia 3 as a Pit Stop greeter in Chiang Mai.[17]

Marketing

The second season of the show had six official sponsors: Aviva, Caltex, Nokia Nseries, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific, Bintan Lagoon Resort, and Standard Chartered Bank.[18] The sponsors played a major role in the series by providing prizes and integrating their products into various tasks. Two special episodes acted as bookends for this season; the first subtitled Racers Revealed was shown three weeks before the season premiere while the second, Memories aired one week after the season finale. The former contained racer introductions and production insight into the casting process.[19] The latter featured the racers sharing their favorite memories and highlights of the Race, similar to that of Season 1.
