The Amazing Race Philippines 2 Season Wrap-up

And season 2 of The Amazing Race Philippines is over! I think most weren’t even sure a season 2 would ever exist. So it was great to hear last December that TV5 had indeed ordered a brand new season.

Let me just say right off the bat before we get to the very long essay below; It is absolutely amazing to have seen The Amazing Race Philippines Season 2. It definitely had its faults, but overall, it was a solid season and it even just existing is something to appreciate.

A big Congratulations to the cast and especially the crew for completing the season. Producing The Amazing Race is definitely a difficult job for anyone, even for creators Bertram Van Munster and Elise Doganieri. Taking on The Amazing Race is a big commitment production-wise, so it is definitely a big accomplishment when a season is completed.

There are definitely many good things to love about this season and unfortunately, many bad things to nitpick as well.

Let’s get it to it! Continue reading →

The Amazing Race Philippines 2 Leg 9 Wrap-up – "Kalingan natin ibigay yung best natin."

Just one hour left! But first, this penultimate Leg.

Overall, it was just okay. I wish it had been a fuller and more exciting penultimate Leg. Not having watched either task at the beautiful Divine Mercy Shrine from Monday, I think the best task of the week had to be the Detour, especially the ostrich side of it.

I’m going to need to see more ostriches on The Amazing Race alongside the camels and donkeys. Continue reading →

Recap: The Amazing Race Philippines 2, Episode 51 (Leg 9, Day 3) – "Let's just enjoy this while we're here."

Back to the big gulo the night before. Matt explains that he didn’t care for the way Jet confronted him and it would’ve been a different story if it didn’t happen the way it did. Especially since outside of the Race, it’s Phoebe that gets “high-blood” most of the time and not Matt.

Derek says despite the “small confrontation,” both teams “decided to stay” in the Race! Continue reading →

The Amazing Race Philippines 2, Leg 8 Wrap-up – "Walang kaibi-kaibigan dito."

Well, it’s been hard doing Leg Wrap-ups for Legs that were missing an episode or chunks of episodes. So I guess it would be impossible to do a Wrap-up for a Leg in which I missed four episodes of.

But I’ll do one anyway. 🙂 Continue reading →
