Derek Ramsay Springs A Surprise In 'The Amazing Race Philippines 2' That Shocks Everyone

DEREK RAMSAY springs a surprise in “The Amazing Race Philippines 2”. In the last pit stop episode, things got very emotional due to the determination and toughness shown by 52-year-old AJ Saliba of Team Mag-Ama. AJ kept on pushing his limit for his son Jody, but this only eventually led to a painful accident. Everyone thought the race is done for these two, but Derek announced a twist that shocked everyone. Despite leading in the fifth week and eventually winning the sixth week’s super-Leg, Team Mag-ama AJ and Jody dropped to the last spot as other teams conspired to work against them. As the Race takes the teams from Cebu to Bohol, the father and son struggled hard in the challenges that came their way.

Still, they managed to catch up with team Nerds Vincent Yu and Ed Manguan, and team Mr. Pogi Kelvin Engles and JP Duray. Team Chefs Eji Estillore and Roch Hernandez were first to finish the task. They eventually arrived first to the pit stop and won the PHP 200,000 pit stop cash prize from Rexona.

Team Dating Couple Matthew Edwards and Phoebe Walker came in second, followed by team Magkapatid Jet and Yna Cruz as third. After hours of agonizing attempts, AJ still wasn’t able to finish their task. The Nerds finished their penalties and were able to get ahead of them, eventually securing the fifth spot for themselves. AJ also sprained his leg after an excruciating fall, which made Jody decide to plead for his father to stop and accept their loss. Host Derek had to hold back his tears after witnessing the father and son's admirable determination and will to win. To everyone’s surprise, Derek announced that no one gets eliminated that time and team Mag-ama still has a chance to redeem themselves. With only two remaining weeks to go, teams are expected to now give everything they race towards the final pit stop.
