MANILA, Philippines - Blonde sisters Tina and Avy Wells were fourth to be eliminated from The Amazing Race Philippines 2.
In last Saturday’s episode, the eight remaining racers had to surf at Ganaden’s Nook by the Sea in San Fernando to get the route information that will lead them to the fourth pit stop location. Team Dating Couple Matthew Edwards and Phoebe Walker, still first in the race, were only seconds ahead of second-placer Team Magkapatid Jet and Yna Cruz who met them at the race mat. The couple won another P200,000 from Shell V Power Nitro+. Team Mag-ama AJ and Jody Saliba advanced to the third slot, followed by chefs Roch Hernandez and Eji Estillore, and nerds Vincent Yu and Ed Manguan.
Meanwhile, Team Sexy Besties RR Enriquez and Jeck Maierhofer became the only all-female team in the competition after making it to the sixth spot. They were followed by Team Mr. Pogi Kelvin Engles and John Paul Duray who leaped to the seventh spot, thus eliminating the blondes from the race.
Despite finishing last, Tina and Avy won the hearts of millions of netizens due to their impressive performance despite being left out of alliances formed by other teams.
“Nung first leg pa lang, the other teams were ganging up on us. We never really allied with the other teams, which was fine by us because Avy and I figured that in the end, it will still be every team for themselves,” Tina said in an interview with InterAksyon.com.
This week, viewers can look forward to the much-awaited meltdown of first-placers Matthew and Phoebe. Will it affect their standing in the race? Will other racers be able to overtake them from what seems to be a leg-after-leg win? Another team to watch out for is the father and son tandem of AJ and Jody who jumped over to the third spot after starting out in the fifth place for the past legs. Will their performance improve now that the race takes them to the Ilocos region?
The Amazing Race Philippines Season 2 airs daily at 9 p.m. on TV5.
