Amazing Race Asia Season 4 teams finally revealed

Image via WikipediaI was up until 2 something in the morning the other day trying to watch the The Amazing Race Asia: Racers Revealed special on the AXN site (which only requires you to complete a survey before you can continue on).

It's basically an hour long special of host Allan Wu walking through (I think) KL's Chinatown introducing the new batch of 10 teams from all over Asia, as well as some commentary from the show's casting director and producer.

Here's the breakdown of teams by country:

• 2 teams from India
• 2 Malaysian teams
• 2 teams from the Philippines
• 2 Indonesian teams, one being a father-daughter team, a TARA first
• One team from Hong Kong
• One team from Singapore

For once there are no famous (not even by proxy) Malaysian celebrities this season. But I'm hoping that the teams (two guys and a married couple) can cope and are not out in the first leg or something, cos that would be embarassing. There haven't been any Malaysian team out in the first leg yet so far, so here's hoping that would stand.


After all this time, there is also an intergenerational element in the race with its first father-daughter team. If there were a grandparent-grandchild team from where ever, I would root for them big time. Make it happen, TARA team - there are so many mactors one can watch on TV who want their 15 minutes.
