Recap/Commentary: The Amazing Race Vietnam 2019, Episode 9 – North Korea (!)

As a Filipino-American, it’s certainly not strange for me to enjoy foreign, especially Asian, entertainment.

The Amazing Race 31 Season Wrap-up

The Amazing Race 30 Episode 11

Another Amazing Race US season has come and gone. And it gets more and more miraculous that this old franchise continues to survive. But at the very least, we know TARUS still has one more season ready to go.

Definitely far from the HD era gold standard Season 25. And even the next best. Season 27. If this weren’t the much-hyped showdown between Survivor, Big Brother and Amazing Race alums, this would very much be a forgettable season. Continue reading →
