The Amazing Race Asia Season 3 is finally here! And the makers say it's the toughest race ever! The contestants were introduced yesterday, and it's sure to be quite the cast. We have a handful of eccentrics, obsessive compulsive's; as always, the pretty faces; then we have the extremely competitive teams (who I surmise will be Team Korea); and finally, the heiress and the actress, who I'm currently rooting for - Ida Nerina (actress) and Tania Khan (heiress) of Malaysia.

Their chemistry together is just great! They're funny, witty, intelligent, and surprisingly, despite their social status, are not afraid to make an outright fool of themselves (Their answer to the superhero nickname was pretty funny - Ida saying she'll use the power of her big eyes, and Tania saying that she's going to use the power of her smile then laughing like hell after).



What I feel is most interesting about them is that they're totally clueless about this whole race thing. They haven't gone backpacking yet, and are only used to a glamorous way of traveling, complete with Four Season pillows! (the two actually asked TARA if they will be providing those huge thread-count comfy pillows for them). So it will be a laugh to see them adjust to this high-paced 'cowboy' race!

I'm guessing they're going to be like Danny and Oswald of Amazing Race 2, stopping by midway through the race to go shopping in a nearby boutique, or taking a sip of espresso at an outdoor cafe.
