Tonight's episode of the Amazing Race 2 was the season finale. At the start, they edited together the highlights of a very interesting race as we have been following for the past weeks since it started. You were reminded of some very memorable tasks done as they went through
15 cities and
10 countries in
Asia, Oceania, Europe and Africa.
Also it brought back to mind the very explosive and irritating conflicts featuring
Terri and Henry. That hot-headed woman sure gave Pinays a bad name. Her shrill nagging demeanor was terrible enough to drive her US Navy Petty Officer husband Henry to tears!
In this last episode, the last three teams were the beautiful
sisters Paula and Vanessa from Malaysia, gym buddies Adrian and Colin from Singapore, and best friends Marc and Rovilson from the Philippines.
Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez were the alpha male team of the race and led most of the way, losing a couple of laps in Europe only to gain back in the penultimate pitstop in South Africa. However, even if they led most of the way in South Africa, all the teams left South Africa on the same plane en route to Singapore. Even then, Marc and Rovilson still led most of the way up to the last Road Block in Sentosa which Rovilson tried to do. Unfortunately, Rovilson had difficulty with flags of the places that they have visited. So much so that Adrian and Colin AND Pamela and Vanessa BOTH overtook them at that point. Too bad for the Philippine team that that was already the last event and the next stop was already the Finish Line in a Chinese Garden in Jurong.
Adrian Yap and Colin Low came in first were declared the Winners of the Amazing Race Asia 2. Vanessa and Pamela Chong were a surprising second. And erstwhile leadersand local favorites
Marc and Rovilson wound up only in third place.
