I like watching The Amazing Race. Something about travelling and "seeing" other cultures really tickles my fancy. Many of my friends and I would talk about how it would be fun to be part of the race, and how lucky those Americans were that their passports enabled them to participate in a race that could take them practically anywhere in the world.
Enter: The Amazing Race Asia. The first time we heard of it, we were wondering if they would be confined to the Asian region. And, even if they were, would there actually be any Philippine teams given the penchant of Filipinos to "extend their vacation" (in a manner of speaking).
Well, if TARA 4 is any indication, it doesn't seem like ordinary Filipinos would get a chance to participate. There are two teams in the fourth installment--one, two Fil-Am guys; and the other is composed of two girls, one of which is not even Filipina, while the other, despite having a Filipino-sounding name, sounds nothing like a Filipino.
I have nothing against either of these teams. I wouldn't mind if they win. It's just strange. Since I don't know them personally, one would think that Filipinos would want either of the two to win just because they were Filipinos. But the thought of cheering for them is about as easy as cheering for any other team...
It's a good thing that Lani is cute.... =)
If only for that, Go Jess and Lani!
