EPISODE 1:
RACERS REVEALED
Park Sam Won, 25, Company Accountant
Kim Jo Young, 25, Magazine Editor
Dating from South Korea
Jo Young: Even though I love Sam Won so much, I can't help but to be insecure. Just the mere fact that people mistaken me as his fan hurts me a lot. Well, he does look like a celebrity but I'm his girlfriend, not his fan. I'm gonna prove in this race that this girl they're calling a fan can actually kick some ass.
Sam Won: Kick? Well, we can literally kick because we're both taekwondo blackbelters. **Laughs** Jo Young is sweet and kind but once she feels offended, she won't hesitate to fight back. That's why I love this little girl…
Jo Young: Little girl? Duh… **Both laugh**
Cici Nerawath, 26, Beauty Queen/Model
Shebie Jesnapore, 25, Beauty Queen/Actress
Beauty Queens from India
Cici: Yes!! You're not hallucinating. We're back!!
Shebie: To win…! **Laughs**
Cici: Shebie and I were on TAR 16 (Yzysg's race) but we were eliminated because of an unlucky situation.
Shebie: But now, we're gonna prove how fierce and competitive we really are.
Cici: We are definitely here to win.
Patty Hsu, 27, Model/Entrepreneur
Ayah Kang, 27, Model/Fashion Designer
Friends from Hong Kong
Patty: I believe that the only two options on a competition like this race is being tricky or being tricked. And, we choose the first option. **Laughs**
Ayah: Why are you revealing our strategy? Oh well… We're not really mean. I mean, we just need to be mean.
Patty: She obviously loves the word "mean" because that's what she is.
Ayah: And you are. **Both laugh**
Jason Gah, Screenwriter/Director
James Cheng, Singer/Fashion Designer
(Gay) Best Friends from Malaysia
Jason: I love The Amazing Race. It's my lifelong dream to be in this race and I'm more than happy to be living the dream with my best friend. He's just simply amazing. He's the really tough one.
James: But definitely, he's the brain and the heart. I said the "heart" because he's too nice to be in a race as competitive as this.
Shan Su, 27 - Basketball Player
Chin Lau, 27 - Basketball Player
Basketball Teammates from Singapore
Shan: In any kind of game, I really want to play clean. I want to earn more friends not enemies. My teammate here is the opposite… He's my most boring teammate ever and he doesn't even talk to me. Just kidding, bro…
Chin: Yah, he's friendly to the extent that he gives the ball to the opponent to avoid enemies.
Shan: He's just kidding…
Chin: No, I'm not. And his jokes? Simply ridiculous...
Shan: He's just a bitter man.
Chin: No, I'm not.
Uma Khouny, 28, Half-Turkish Host/Entrepreneur
Cass Ponti, 27, Actress/Dancer
Dating from the Philippines
Uma: Cass and I were both in Big Brother Philippines and we eventually fell for each other there. We have so many differences due to our cultural conflicts both inside and outside the BB House.
Cass: That's why we fight a lot. Well, regarding about the race, I'm actually the real masculine here. I'm used to jobs that are usually for men and I know it's an advantage for us. On the other hand, he's the vain and metrosexual one.
Cyrix Matsumoto, 24, Cosplayer/Dubber
Myakka Matsumoto, 23, Cosplayer/Dancer
Sisters/Cosplayers from Japan
Myakka: We are the Cosplaying sisters. Yes, we love each other as sisters and we have the same passion, which is cosplaying, but we fight a lot. But that won't cost us. That's for sure.
Cyrix: Running the race in costume is definitely freakish but that's just a part of the game. Let the other teams think we're crazy, I don't care!! If other teams would call us "Team Freaky" so be it. But we're serious competitor, they must know that.
Susie Tan-Jensen, 54, Physician
Andy Jensen, 30, Architect
Mother/Son from Taiwan
Andy: I can't believe this!! Mum, we're racing again!!
Susie: Doing the race once is fantastic and doing it again? Wow, that's awesome!!
Andy: We simply sent in our audition video but we were really never expecting to be in because we've already done TAR 16 (Yzysg's Race). Guess what, we got "LUCKY" again!!
Susie: Extremely LUCKY as usual.
Alexis Ratnasari, 27, Model
Kim Hutagalung, 27, Veterinarian
Dating On and Off from Indonesia
Kim: When we were high school, he broke my heart big time. I really hated him but just last year, we met again and fell in love for the second time around. This race can either make us together again or break us for good.
Alexis: Yah, this could really decide as to where this relationship is leading. As the result of this race is still vague, what's clear in my heart is that I love her so much.
Gabrielle Madrigal, 24, Heiress/Bank Executive
Lena Santos, 48, Nanny
Heiress/Nanny from the Philippines
Gabrielle: I want to experience the real life and culture of different countries and at the same time, have the thrill of a lifetime. And there's no other right person for me to do the race with but my nanny who I love the most.
Lena: She was born with "golden spoon" in her mouth but she's not that showy. I really hope this race would change her into someone better and that many people would vote for us.
Gabrielle: Mama Len, what are you talking about?
Lena: Huh? Whatever. We just wanna win in whatever way it must be.
John Garcia, 50, Chef (Spanish/American)
Kevin Garcia, 26, Equestrian
Father/Son from Thailand
John: This is exciting for me, man. Race around the world, are you kidding me? Ah… It's just really wonderful to be actually racing with my son over here. Damn. This will really be cool. And one of our advantages is that I can actually speak many languages.
Kevin: The competitive nature of this race is definitely not new to me as an equestrian but for Dad? I doubt. Dad is generally good at sometimes but can also be tactless.
John: And he's high-tempered. I have to watch for that.
Kevin: Look who's talking…
Don Joseph Aom, 28, Everester
Jane Cheng, 27, Everester
Dating Everesters from Malaysia
Don Joseph: We've already been to the top of the world… who else is capable of conquering the rest of it? Damn. We're gonna dominate this whole race, I swear.
Jane: That's basically it. We've been to, literally, TOP of the world and we're ready to race AROUND the world.
Don Joseph: Going to Everest was the toughest the world could offer so all the challenges in this race would just be really easy for us.
Leg 1 starts immediately after Dragoon's finale...
