MUMBAI: AXN has announced that throughout the third season of its reality show The Amazing Race Asia 3, the Hong Kong team has had the honour of being the first and the last team to leave the pitstop.
They won the only fast forward in the race, incurred a penalty for not completing a challenge, and got a permanent tattoo.
Now, best buddies Vince Matthew Chung and Samuel Wu have added another achievement by being the first team from Hong Kong to win The Amazing Race Asia.
In the grand finale of the show, the 32-year-old friends edged out Malaysian mothers Ida Nerina and best friend Tania Khan as well as dating couple Tisha Silang and Geoff Rodriguez from the Philippines, to claim the top spot and the cash prize of $100,000.
The broadcaster adds that what was the most surprising of their win was that they were the dark horse in the last leg, having incurred a four-hour penalty for forfeiting a challenge in the previous leg. This put them in the last position and four hours behind the other teams when the final race started.
They say, “We felt dejected at this point as we thought we had lost the game. I’ve never been pushed to my breaking point until now. But you know what they say… The first shall be last and the last shall be first! This memorable quote was mentioned to us during the first three challenges where we were continually in last place during the very first leg in Bangkok. And so we pushed on, and I’m glad that we did,” says Vince, a comedian and host living in Hong Kong.
The show's host Allan Wu says, “Once again, this third season of The Amazing Race Asia exceeded my own expectations. We learned that anything can happen in the toughest race ever.”
