The Amazing Race is Back!!!

The Race about to begin

My favourite RACE is back!

Like previous Races, there are 12 teams participated. But this time, the AR Season 10 has a very unique teams or should I say weird??! hehehe. But I think it will definitely make this race more interesting. Here are the participants:

Bilal & Sa'eed (Bestfriends)
David &Mary (Coalminer & Wife)
Duke & Lauren (Father & Daughter)
Dustin & Kandice (Beauty Queens)
Erwin & Godwin (Brothers)
Kellie & Jamie (Cheerleaders)
Lyn & Karlyn (Single Moms & Friends)
Peter & Sarah (Recently Dating Couple)
Rob & Kimberly (Dating Couple)
Tom & Terry (Boyfriends)
Tyler & James (Models & Friends)
Vipul & Arti (Married Couple)

What made me excited was when Phil Keoghan said "you think you know this race but I warn you, there will be many surprises - expect the unexpected!"

When Phil announced "the world is waiting" then the Race begins. They started the Race from the Emerald City of Seattle, Washington and travelled all the way to Beijing, China.

Bilal & Sa'eed

Their first roadblock was in the Gold House Restaurant where the teams have to indulge fish eyes hmmm yummyyy hehehe. From there they need to go to Forbidden City to find a kiosk and grab 3 departure times. This is where I saw the sign 'Last Team'. I suspected something 'fishy' was going on. The teams kept on arriving one by one. The last team to arrive was Bilal & Sa'eed. Then Phil and the magic mat appeared :) When Phil announced that Bilal & Sa'eed has been eliminated from the Race the bestfriends' team argued that it was not a pit stop yet. Well as Phil said in the beginning 'expect the unexpected'.

Next, the team's first Detour was to choose between labour or leisure. Most of the teams chose labour where they need to lay bricks on a sidewalk. In leisure, cheerleaders Kellie & Jamie and boyfriends, Tom & Terry participated in an exercise known as Taiji Bailong.

Tyler & James

After completing the Detour task, the teams were heading to the first Pit Stop at Juyongguan. It was not an easy to reach the Pit Stop as they have to use a rope as their ladder to scale a wall. Models and friends Tyler & James reached at the top of the wall and they proceeded to step on the mat where Phil was awaiting. They won USD20k for being the first to arrive.
Vipul & Arti

The last team to arrive was the Indian-American couple, Vipul & Arti. They were the second team eliminated from the Race. Couldn't wait for the next episode. Last season, I picked Mom and Daughter team (Wanda & Desiree). This time, I think I'm gonna follow Father and Daughter team, Duke & Lauren!

Stay tuned on AXN every monday at 9.00pm for the next Amazing Race 10!
