The Amazing Race Asia 4 gets your heart pumping and your side in stitches
The Amazing Race Asia promises lots of unexpected surprises every season, and it does not disappoint in the latest season –the 4th edition since the Asian adaptation started in 2006. The last season was billed as the “Toughest Race Ever”, and the contestants were certainly tested physically and mentally to their limits; this season promises lots of laughter and wacky moments that will have viewers in stitches, as motormouths and madcap personalities dominate the Race this time.
For the first time ever, The Amazing Race Asia will premiere online first, one whole week before its on-air broadcast. Viewers can log on to www.axn-asia.com/tara on 16 September to be one of the first to catch the first episode online, while those who prefer watching it the traditional way can tune in to the on-air premiere on AXN on 23 September.
Humour is the name of the game as this season ups the comedy ante. Executive Producer, Michael McKay, ended up in tears for laughing too hard during the Race and even during the post-production of the series. “Manas and Sahil from India generate the laughs right from the start, Ethan and Khairie from Malaysia are just naturally funny guys; and the Richards from the Philippines have a very dry sense of humour, though Hilda might just steal the opening episode,” revealed McKay.
Indeed, drama and hilarity ensue this season – look out for chatterboxes who just cannot stop talking, wild party girls with outrageous behaviour, a team who brought along a foldable chair to rest as and when they get the chance to, and self-confessed cry babies who will cry about anything and everything… Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the teams are sure to entertain with their over-the-top antics. Of course, there are also the regular joes who will warm your hearts with their sincerity and determination.
Expect to see one of the hardest roadblocks ever, exotic and scenic locales, as well as some of the funniest moments in Race history being dished out this season. Prepare to join these 10 teams on an adventurous and humourous ride…only on AXN!
The Amazing Race Asia Season 4 is sponsored by Sony Electronics Asia Pacific, Caltex, Axiata Group, as well as Official Hotel Partner Hilton Hotels & Resorts.
