Meeting The Amazing Race Asia 4's Philippine teams!

In general, I don't watch TV. There are only a handful of shows that can make me tune in, and one of them is The Amazing Race Asia. We're now on season 4, and I've seen how the Philippine contingents have been getting better and better with each race.

The Amazing Race Asia 4's Philippine contingentBack in season 3 our bets Geoff and Tisha placed second. This season, things are looking good with our two teams: Richard and Richard (both pictured above) + Jess and Lani (pictured above). Unfortunately Jess wasn't around when the Philippine teams threw a bloggers viewing party at the National Sports Grill last October 28, 2010.

Richard of Team Philippines in The Amazing Race Asia 4Richard cordially met us when we arrived at the venue. We were to watch two episodes (eps 5 and 6 to be exact) on a big screen -- the episode that took place in the Philippines and the one that comes after, which was the latest installment at the time.

Of course, I won in the trivia games. Twice. Hey, it's the ONLY show I watch these days. Such is the extent of my fandom. I really really love this show folks! Photo credit goes to Az again. :)

The Amazing Race Asia fridge magnet and photo frameI LOVE this prize! It's an Amazing Race Asia fridge magnet and photo frame. So cute! I immediately stuck it to our refrigerator the moment I got home. I'm such a fan and I know merchandise like this can't just be bought anywhere.

Thank you to the City of Legazpi and Misibis Bay Resort (the official Philippine pitstop for TARA 4) for making this gathering possible!

UPDATE: Team Philippines consisting of Richard and Richard WON The Amazing Race Asia 4!!! WOOT!!!
