Amazing Race Asia
A race around Asia.Powering through 15 cities in 24 days and travelling for over 36 000 kilometres, female duo Zabrina Fernandez and Tee Joe Jer made headlines and created history!
Zabrina, 26 and Joe Jer, 29
Not only were they the winners of the very first season of The Amazing Race Asia, they were also the first ever all-female team to win the grand prize in the history of The Amazing Race franchise! That's AWESOME!! Not only winning US$ 100 000 (RM 365 000), They made Malaysia proud! So did Andrew and Syeon.
The couple from Malaysia were one of the top 3 teams but finished third behind Sandy and Francesca from Hong Kong.They were favourites to win this race but they made a wrong choice by using "lonely planet" map and got lost in Kuching, Malaysia for the final leg.Malaysia should be proud to have them representing us as they had the "never give up" attitude.Syeon, originally from South Korea bare the pain through the whole show as she hurt her ankle in India and she told Andrew not to give up even when they were far behind for the final leg.
There were 2 teams representing Malaysia and both were in the final leg, top 3.
Runners-up were Sandy and Francesca representing Hong Kong.
As they were almost eliminated in the first leg if not for the pre-determine non-elimination round, they were more determined to win the race.They were very good in physical task as Sandy is well built as a personal trainer and francesca is...erm... easily pissed off?haha.Anyway, they were very strong competitors.
The other teams are :
Ernie and Jeena
[ Adventurous couple from Philippines ]
Aubrey and Jacqueline

The Amazing Race Asia is exciting especially the final leg! Malaysia Boleh!! I wanna join with one of my friend.Don't know whether if there's another one? or if we'll be able to get in?
