I disagree. It didn't ruin the excitement of the episode unless you knew beforehand that it was a non-elimination round... and if you did, you deserve that for reading spoilers before you watched the episode.

we didn't say it "spoiled" it, did we? LOL... it just seems so "anti-climactic"... here you go, seeing these people scrammble to be in the top 9... and no one goes home. what a way to kill the "excitement", don't you think? it just seems too early to put in a non-elimination. the only times those really work is if the team you are rooting for finishes last... and viewers haven't seen enough of these people to even root or be emotionally invested in them.

i actually did a "faith hill" when i watched the end of the pilot. heh heh.

And I can very much sympathize when Ernie and Jeena hit that car!! Haha

And you just gotta love the "Mabuhay ang Pilipinas" bit when both teams were helping each other out. Pinoy teams ftw!

Baka na-miss ko lang, but how did Ernie and Jeena resolve their predicament with the sideswiped car and the really pissed owner? Inabangan ko talaga kung ano na ang nangyari, and the next thing I saw was they were already at the race track...!

Might as well check out AXN-Asia's website...

"Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!" ARRRYAAAAAHHH!

they never showed it... our theory is that they probably offered to replace the guy's car. heaven knows they can certainly afford to. LOL.

"sorry" is just not gonna cut it today. ... oooooooooh! LOL.

Yeah I was waiting for that scene after the commercial because it was kind of a big deal(to me anyway) but they never showed it.

my brother's comment on Aubrey/Jackie: "Ano ba yan? ang aarte! puro... i wanna go shopping, fix my hair, powder my nose, is my hair okay?"

but all in all....anybody noticed that the racers are all like - super nice? no one's is sniping at another team, and no teams yet are sniping at each other.......will they be able to maintain this "niceness" in the coming episodes? the teams are really helping one another

made me realize - are asians really THAT nice?

btw, anyone else noticed that the taxis in KL would really rip off the passenger? when Andy and Laura (?) got in the taxi on the way to kompleks kraf, the taxi encircled the block of Times Square first before going on to the highway? When we were there in KL for a vacation, the exact same thing happened to us! grabe talaga! And the side comment of Aubrey when they got off the taxi "RIP OFF"

dont know if this is still a spoiler

in the first ep..

did anybody notice that the 1st team is the exact same couple as the 5th team to arrive at the last checkpoint? or nahihilo lang ako

jayps · « **Reply #37 on:** Nov 16, 2006 at 01:07 AM »

Are they going to travel around the globe? Or sa Asia lang?

I think that was the Malaysian couple. They arrived first along with the Indonesian twins but I think they missed some stuff on the hike challenge so they had to go back and re-do it.

dni · « **Reply #39 on:** Nov 16, 2006 at 01:04 PM »

i like team M&M!! hehe even though they are not fit they still managed to arrive at the pit stop first!! they were using their brains throughout the way

the Malaysian couple arrived first but they didn't follow the correct forest trail so they had to do it again kaya sila yung 1st and 5th team!!

i was thinking about the same thing when Ernie hit the car. gave the car owner his contact details and Ernie got the car owner's contact details then he will send him a new car nalang!! haha although mayabang din nga yung mga comments nila, mukhang ok pa din sila

but i totally hate Aubrey and Jacq.... anak ng pating ang aarte nila!!!!!!!!!!

been thinking of this even before the show started...
Americans can practically travel almost anywhere in the world without needing a visa...
Filipinos practically needs a visa just to travel anywhere in the world...
kung South East Asian countries lang ok pa ang Philippine passport, but outside of it wala na... $:-\$

Contractually, you submit your passport to the producers before the race, and they facilitate all the visas you will need, including many to countries you won't be going to - to deliberately mislead you. The passport is returned to you just as you are about to travel to the starting destination, so you won't have time to research the countries whose visas you find on your passport.

It's supposedly a race around the world, not just Asia, but I'm not sure if they actually left our continent.

alcobobaz · « **Reply #42 on:** Nov 16, 2006 at 09:55 PM »

Ernie and Jeena.

Arte or not, Im definitely for Aubrey and Jackie now.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #43 on:** Nov 16, 2006 at 10:03 PM »

When out of all the teams that left money for the last placers, they chose to only show Ernie & Jeena, I had a feeling this might happen.

d**n!

But their elimination made things more exciting. It's hard to say which remaining team appears to have an advantage. Ernie & Jeena were miles ahead of everyone else.

indie boi · « **Reply #44 on:** Nov 16, 2006 at 10:05 PM »

Big tactical mistake. oh well... they don't need the money anyway. Go Jacqui and Aubrey! hehe.

jayps · « **Reply #45 on:** Nov 17, 2006 at 01:38 AM »

Oh man!!! Ernie and Jeena are out! They shouldn't have gone for the fast forward especially when you are in first place.

Anyway now I have no choice but to root for Jacqui and Aubrey! I hope they do well in the next legs. I also like Laura and Andy, I love their humor. It was so funny when Laura sort of tripped seconds before reaching the mat and Andy had this goofy "Nooooo!!!" expression and had to come back and help her.

otogi · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 17, 2006 at 06:48 AM »

Bad night last night.
I really like Jeena and Ernie. SAYANG!!!

We're the first team to be eliminated!!! .. considering they're strong, fast, aggressive...but bad in stratedy

Big mistake. They were first already. Bad move talaga.

Lucky couple from Hong Kong. They're supposed to be the first one eliminated last pit stop...

Hu hu hu :'(

Pansin ko lang sa first two episodes ang pinakamalaking obstacle eh yung mga taxi driver.

jekoy · « **Reply #48 on:** Nov 17, 2006 at 02:08 PM »

one of the lopez' problems were they don't know how to say what they want to the cab drivers. man, did they ever ride a taxi cab before this event? mukhang hindi, eh.. hehehe...

mukhang under si ernie kay esmi...buti mukhang mabait at tahimik lang itong si ernie and can take the commands / yakking!

My wife said that they have been badgering Ernie about the race at work and he has been firmly tight-lipped about it -- no amount of cajoling and ribbing they did could make Ernie talk, not even something as harmless as his experience about the race.

Probably because the experience was too short to have anything substantial to share.

It looks that way. Or maybe he's too embarassed to say that they were the first team to be eliminated, hehe.

According to my wife, Jeena and their kid are chauffeured all over the city. Ernie rides the MRT to and from work but he gets picked up by the chauffeur at the Buendia Station. When he feels really "pedestrian" he drives himself to work... in a royal blue Z3 Roadster (though this was four years ago, I don't know what his new car is now).

Ahhh, to be a Lopez...

Anyways, taas noo pa rin tayo kahit sa pagkatalo...!

About the race,... i think the Bakso cart challenge was the LAMEST Detour task I've ever seen. Wala masyadong challenge dun.

AshKetchum · « **Reply #53 on:** Nov 17, 2006 at 08:29 PM »

Ernie & Jeena shouldn't have taken the fast forward since they were currently ahead of the others.

I'm rooting for M&M, as they continue to defy odds. Also for the 2 Singaporean girls, the 2 Malaysian girls, plus Andy & Laura.

Don' t like the Pinay bimbos, the Indian himbos, and that Malaysian couple.

rooting form M & M......aliw kasi sila....... "our bodies are not made for this race - but our mind is" or words to that effect

besides....second episode.......all the teams are still super nice

even the slight disagreement with the taxi between the malaysian couple & ernie/jeena didnt actually erupt into a full blown quarrel - like what i am used to seeing in the amazing race

Funktopuss · « **Reply #58 on:** Nov 20, 2006 at 09:00 PM »

those bimbos are ruining the image of the proud filipino people, other asian might think that filipina people are ho's. They must have been qualified to join the race based on their appearance, nice boobies though.

vinta18 · « **Reply #59 on:** Nov 21, 2006 at 12:52 PM »

^ Not really. Some Asian countries are full of real Filipina hos.
