Che-Cheh

Wooohooooo attention all The Amazing Race fans out there. The 11th season of The Amazing Race will premiere in the US on Sunday, Feb 18 2007. Yes we Malaysian will get to watch it at Astro come this Feb too. My heart goes DUP DUP BOOM! DUP DUP BOOM! every time I see the The Amazing Race:All-Stars adverts in Astro. Can’t wait any longer man!

This 11th installment (The Amazing Race 11) will feature an All-St rs casts; reuniting some of the most controversial, amusing, unforgettable and favourite teams from Season 1 to 10. I’m a bit disappointed though. My favourite guys, BJ and Tyler did not participate. However there is this one particular team that is coming back for their 4th stint in a reality TV show (twice for TAR, twice for Survivor). Can you guess who?

Ok I know your heart is going DUP DUP BOOM! already.
Not wanting to delay you any further may I present you the TAR 11:All-Stars teams. Deng deng deng…

Frankly speaking, I couldn’t remember this 3 teams: Ozwald and Danny; Kevin and Drew; John and Jill. I would love to see a more energetic gameplay by David and Mary (please be more active x3). The cunning Eric is here too…with girlfriend Danielle. Hmm wonder how he’s gonna play the game this time with a new teammate. Rob and Amber is the one I’m telling you about above. They’re back with a vengeance but of course Uchenna and Joyce is here to stop them again. I think Dustin and Kandice can go further this time too IF they’ve learnt their lesson. My favourite top 3 teams are Uchenna and Joyce, Rob and Amber and David and Mary. In the spirit of BJ and Tyler, I would like to wish all of you TTOW!!! (ok maybe I’m abit crazy)
