Though most couples strive for harmony believing that it ultimately makes for a good foundation to a solid relationship, there are those who think otherwise.
Geoff Rodriguez and Tisha Silang, after three blissful years of being together, are eager to rock the boat and test their relationship. And they’re doing it on international television.
The couple is among nine others in The Amazing Race Asia, or TARA.
“Tisha and I have had a sound relationship, from the time we have met. And now we are testing that by entering the race”, the 26-year-old Rodriguez confirms.
Silang, 32, admits too much of unanimity is a cause of concern for both of them.
“We never really fight. The past three years was just a great big ball. By joining the race we’d get to know more of each other.”
The couple says their relationship is a classic example of “opposite attracts.”
”Nobody would have thought that we would end up dating. We have very different personalities but [we] have managed to make it work so far,” notes Silang.
”Hopefully, this will continue during the race”, Geoff adds smiling.
This is the second time that the couple has auditioned for the show. The couple missed the deadline the first time. They almost missed the deadline for this season too.
“We were in such a rush to submit the video. I can’t say we did anything really spectacular”, Silang discloses. Some find it ironic that the two are to represent the Philippines.
Silang is a Canadian by citizenship, which 10 years ago caused her to give up her title as Bb. Pilipinas-Universe.
Geoff Rodriguez (whose real name is Geoff Briz) is from New Zealand who came to Manila a decade ago to seek opportunities in modeling. He is now an occasional actor and model, but mostly a fixture in social events that require model types.
The Amazing Race Asia, is apparently not keen on citizenships among its participants. There is. [Other non-Asians representing an Asian country in the race like Silang and Briz (we mean Rodirguez), like Natalie Glebova, representing Thailand, and Vince Chung, representing Hong Kong. Sam Wu, Chung’s partner, is originally from Singapore .
According to Rodriguez, another big reason they joined the contest is to “counter the loss of the team from the Philippines in the previous season”.
Last season, the team from the Philippines placed third. Australian Marc Nelson (who has been living in the Philippines for years) and buddy Rovilson Fernandez nearly topped the race but bogged down in the last task.
“Our plan is simple—we will just have fun. What I offer this team is unpredictability—that’ll keep the others guessing”, Rodriguez shares.
Silang counters, “Yeah, and I will be the one who will keep him from making a fool of himself.”
Allan Wu returns to hosting duties, as he guides teams along their adventure to reach the finishing mat to take home the $100,000 prize.
