AMAZING RACE 2014 All Star Cast Version
The continuation of their journey to complete the Amazing Race:
From Guangzhou, China and at the Pit Stop it was Team Rachel and Brendon who arrived at the Pit Stop first and awarded a prize by the Host Phil Keoughan.
They received a clue once again that they have to depart from the Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, board a flight to Sabah, Borneo in Malaysia.
In Borneo: They have to retrieve the clue card again at the concrete stairs which is kind of familiar. I think it was once the "scene" of the previous Amazing Race episode but that was in Jakarta, Indonesia...I think. Anyway they proceeded to the waterfalls and retrieved the Travelocity gnome. one person from each team has to rock climb down the path through where the clue envelope is to be found. One by one they have to do that task to the waterfalls and let the water streamed down on their face. Oh yeah! that was exciting eh? The scene reminds me of the movie "The Mission."
From the Waterfalls they have to journey their way to the Kampung Tombung. They have to build a raft made from bamboo poles that they can use to travel and deliver goods (fruits, onions, etc. inside the box) to the village where the datu awaits their safe arrival. Or they can use the detour to travel by raft on the river and ask another tribe wearing bark of trees as clothes to help them use the "pipehitter" or "sumpit" to target the parrots. To build the bambbo raft they have to use nylon cords and they can tie the bamboo poles tightly and sturdy enough to stand the rough current of water. The water is calm and steady during the delivery of the goods to the village but to another tribe the path to that area is rough and rapid flow of water is a bit harsh that they get stuck to the curve or thrown overboard, and sometimes they have to fight for their lives. Weird eh?
The Pit Stop : The Chieftain and Phil Keoughan waited for them to arrive at Kota Kinabalu:
In order of arrival: 1. Dave and Connor are the winners of this leg of the race. They won a trip to Budapest, Hungary courtesy of Travelocity. 2. Jet and Cord, 3. Leo and Jamal 4. Margie and Luke 5 Flight Time and Big Easy 6. Jennifer and Caroline 7. Jessica and John 8. Brendon and Rachel 9. Joey and Meghan the last to arrive at the Pit Stop and were eliminated.

Amazing Race 2014 Returns
Unbelievable but it's true! Looks like it's Christmas in February! It started on the 23rd of February and until today, February 24... the snowy winter wonderland is evident of a very cold season and what a timing that Sochi.ru Winter Olympic games has ended yesterday, February 23, 2014 but not here in Canada.
I think Canada is the true North strong and free.
When the weather temperature is cold and below negative then what you think is the reason for this sudden turn of events? Have to stock lots of food in the fridge. Cook lots of food and eat. Keep yourself warm by having hot beverage, coffee, hot cocoa or hot chocolate with milk for kids. Have a bowl of soup to keep you healthy and energize your daily life.
The forecast of more snowfall? Wait till you see what's on the ground today.
Once again the AMAZING RACE has started at 8pm Sunday night. It was an "all star cast" teams from previous amazing race contest were chosen to to fill up the 11 teams to the leg of the race that will lead them to journey around the world within time limit. Phil Keoughan the host of the most popular travel and tour race contest asked the first to plu their electric car a Ford Hybrid to its socket before the teams were asked to find the "chinese symbol or character" on top of the UCLA's cadet musician's headgear. Then they have to begin their journey travel by car to the airport heading for China. Guamgzhou, China.
11 TEAM- CONTESTANTS (22)
1. Leo and Jamal
2. Margie and Luke
3. Flight Easy and B. Easy
4. Mark and Mallory
5. Dave and Connor
6. Jet and Cord
7. Jessica and John
8. Brandon and Rachel
9. Natalee and Nadiya
10. Joey and Meghan
11. Caroline and Jennifer
From Guangzhou, China the eleven teams, the whole cast went to the clue retrieval. First Task: Shop until you drop. They have to find the bridal shop named "Silver Gorgeous" at the Bridal District where beautiful bridal gowns and party dress are made to perfection. The sales clerk will hand over a bag of clues inside then they have to travel again to find the Canton Tower which is the highest tower in the urban district of Guangzhou. It was a circular tower so high that you can see the whole skyline, aerial view of the city. On top of the tower is a feriswheel at the edge. From those ferris wheel cubicles the hidden clue envelope is located. They opened the envelope. Some have the "try again" instructions and other envelopes have the right clue which is another task to make. Next is to find the clue at Haixinxia Stadium. State of the art stadium down below the tower of Guangzhou.
At the Stadium, each one from the team will have to head over heels acrobatic stunt 5x up on the air with just two sturdy cords or durable wire? tightened to their waist and legs as support. Well just like the stunts that Angelina Jolie performed in her movie.
1. Jet and Cord, the cowboys arrived by foot at the Pit Stop and was given the Express Pass. Another Express Pass was given to them and they will share it with another team who they thought deserve the Express pass.
2. Leo and Jamal
3. Dave and Connor
4. Margie and Luke
5. Brandon and Rachel
6. Mark and Mallory
7. Big Easy and Flight
8. Jessica and John
9. Sarah and Jennifer
10. Joey and Meghan
11. Natalie and Nadiya - the Sri-lankan sisters are eliminated on this leg of the race. Remember them on their first try of the race? These twins are noisy, they always chat and quarrel with each other, one is always grumpy and moody. Sometimes they hate each other and sometimes when they talked they keep rushing what they are saying and most of the time talking the same words at the same time. Too bad they were eliminated right away.
Why I like to watch this popular TV SHow? It features the renewed infrastructures in every parts of the world. What are the new changes that took place in every city in every country. You wont believe that the old ancient civilization was really a thing of the past. The rural area that you think is so damned poor is one of the richest city. The people whom you think that are uneducated are the most educated people based on the development and improvement of their city. It's like looking in through the glass and taking part in a sociology class. What happened to a ravaged war torn country after a year or five years os infrastructure and construction of skyscrapers, you wont believe that the desert is no longer a barren land but a city of skyscrapers. The poorest of the poor has improved their lives better than those who condemned them. Because they followed the law and rules or they disobeyed the rules? Weird. How and why?
ONE MILLION DOLLARS worth PRIZE is a lot of money. You wont earn million of dollars by working everyday even if you work in 20 years. A US president is only paid $100,000/year according to a news reporter. You probably can earn million dollars if you are NHL player or a football player but that's with a contract.
Or try lottery ticket maybe there is that winning ticket out there.

I don't know if I like the new season of Amazing Race. Anyway they have an opening of finding the cue card or clue card from high above air balloon. The color of the balloon? Red and yellow orange which is in similarity with the logo for DQ's CMN.The whole cast at first opened up with them biking in group going to the vineyard somewhere in California then a flight to the Buenos Aires in Argentina for daredevil stunt of skydiving landing on the mark X on the ground. Then having to make empanadas the Argentine's way while the native Argentine's dance their native Spanish folk dance. That's where most of them slow down... making empanada. Misa and Maiya were eliminated on this first lap of the game.
What's the lesson on this kind of game adventure? To earn million dollars your life is at stake.Then it's better to earn just right amount of money and do the right thing. Just be yourself and be happy with what you have.If you have a good stable job just be contented. Don't go for quick money or get rich quick like as if its a scam. Maybe not! But who wants to spare millions of dollars the easy way. Ah, I'm not a producer of that said show and I don't know what it stated in what they signed in so it's really not my business what they are doing. The point is they are showing their stunts on public viewing through TV. I'm a viewer and I paid my TV connection. Everyone is entitled for opinion whether it's negative or positive at least somebody is talking about what's been viewed. Besides, they are all adventurous and what they have shown is nothing to what the military have encountered in protecting the land. You know what I mean.
Fear factor stunts ala GI Jane. That's what Amazing Race is. For others Amazing Race is raising your children to be the best they can, kind, compassionate, respectful and law abiding, family oriented and hopefully your guide when you grow old. I hope that's the future hope or are we all gonna be imitating the new society of disrespectful generation who are impeaching judges because you cannot gain anything or because there is no budget for the government expenditures? That alone reflects how bad society is. Well guess what in other countries there's always a rumble inside a parliamentary house, they keep throwing food at each other. At least in the Philippines it's only war with words. WORD WAR III. They will only stop the impeachment after they were able to mix Corona with peaches.
CORONA + PEACHES = COOLERS
