The Amazing Race Asia 2

Hosted by Allan Wu, it featured ten teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the Eastern Hemisphere to win US$100,000.

Adrian Yap was the first contestant with a disability to participate & win any edition of The Amazing Race, while Malaysian sisters Pamela and Vanessa Chong finished in second place and Philippine best friends and expats Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez finished in third place.

[4] Production made the show more competitive by imposing more self-driving and reducing the chance of teams being bunched up on the same airplane flight.

This twist led to an argument between Henry and host Allan Wu at the Seoul Pit Stop, when the former was unwilling to give up his team's money.

The second season of the show had six official sponsors: Aviva, Caltex, Nokia Nseries, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific, Bintan Lagoon Resort, and Standard Chartered Bank.

Monica Lo represented Toronto, Ontario, Canada and won the 1997 Miss Chinese International Pageant,[12] while Paula Taylor is a Channel [V] VJ.

[18] The other is Aurelia, a Frenchwoman residing in Hong Kong who raced with her Singaporean ex-housemate Sophie,[1][19] while Brett is of Australian nationality.

Paula Taylor appeared on the first leg of The Amazing Race Asia 3 as a Pit Stop greeter in Chiang Mai.
