Right. The Amazing Race Asia edition has just ended. It’s hard to avoid making comparisons between the Asian edition with the original US edition. After all, it was the US edition which eventually spawned out a sister edition.

I originally intended to submit an entry for this. It would have been so much fun and entertaining, just to participate in it. How often do you get to absail down from the 8th floor of a shopping mall? Almost never, except within the context of a race, naturally.

Still, you can sense a slight rawness to the editing of this first episode of the Asian race. A little rough around the edges compared to the editing of the US versions. Hey, them Americans have 10 seasons under their belts. Of course it’s better. Allen Wu seems kind of stiff too. I think he needs to relax more; loosen up a bit. IHate to say this, but it appeared as though he wanted to smash the camera, judging by the way he talked and walked towards it, when he was explaining the requirements to complete the detour.

Anyway, this is only the first episode of the first season. I’m sure it will improve over time.

And to think that I wanted to join this. HA! I may not even have been selected for it in the first place!
