We think that the show’s starting time being erratic is one factor that pulls it down. You never know when it’ll actually start as it’s dependent on when Willie’s show will end as it goes overtime most of the time. It’s good “Amazing Race” is now replayed on Sunday night marathons at 9:30.
The show’s executive producer, Leo Conde, says the elimination of Football Brothers Anton del Rosario of the Azkals and his Kuya Armand disappointed a lot of their fans who are rooting for them. Most people thought they’d win as they’re both strong and athletic. They made a strong showing during the show’s first leg that started in Paco, Manila and went to the Yacht Club, Cuneta Astrodome, Midas Hotel, UST and Star City. But in the show’s second leg in Vigan and Bontoc, they did a violation that proved fatal: they texted a relative. Using a communication device to contact others is totally against the rules, so they were punished.
The Alabang Housewives were meant to be ousted but because of the penalty, it’s the Del Rosario brothers who were sent home. They’re the second team to be eliminated. The first one was Dating Couple Mykey Lacson and Crystel Castro. As of now, the numero uno couple are Gym Buddies Mark Dungo and Kat Tan who won the 1st and 2nd legs. Winners for each leg get P200,000 cash from American Tourister, so they have already won P400,000 so far.
Also in the top five are Celebrity Best Friends LJ Moreno and CJ Jaravata, Amigas Saida Diola and Jervi Li, Kumpares Boom Vergara and Cheng Rodriguez, and Reunited Friends Sheena Cruz and Gee Canlas.
