I found this @ Sucks:

AXN-Asia announced that applications for the new season of TAR Asia has opened until 30th March 2007.

amazing-race-asia.axn-asia.com/season2/

TAKEN FROM THE AXN-ASIA WEBSITE:

Eligibility Requirements - In Brief.

* All applicants MUST understand and speak English.
* Each applicant must have a teammate in order to apply to participate on the Program.
* Both members of each team must be at least 21 years of age (as of March 30, 2007).
* You are eligible to apply if you are a citizen of Asia, or a non-Asian citizen who is currently living and/or working in Asia. Asia is defined as all countries within the AXN Asia footprint, and Japan (i.e., all of Asia except Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East).
* Each team is responsible for ensuring that at least one member can drive a vehicle with a manual transmission, and at least one for automatic.
* All applicants must have a valid passport or be in the process of obtaining a passport (which process will be completed in time for the applicant to travel internationally should the applicant be selected as a participant).

Allan Wu's TARA2 interview:
http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/lifestyle/lifestyle/view_article.php ?article_id=85217

Conversation with an amazing TV host

By Nińo Mark Sablan
Inquirer
Last updated 10:02pm (Mla time) 08/28/2007

MANILA, Philippines - After hosting the first season of the AXN Original Production "The Amazing Race Asia," Singapore-based Chinese-American actor Allan Wu was deluged with endorsement deals, commercial offers and other various proposals - even invitations to star in a Filipino movie.

And while he did accept some of those irresistible offers (the Filipino flick sadly not being a part of it), he is now back as the host of season two of one of the world's greatest, most exciting and most successful reality TV franchises.

"The Amazing Race Asia" Season 2 (TARA 2) is set to premiere soon on AXN. While host Wu admits to trying to look a lot less like Phil Keoghan of the US edition and a lot more like himself in the new season, the show itself has undergone several exciting changes.

"You can never rest on your laurels," he says, referring to both his career and the show's success. Allan also states that while the first season put the show on the map, "TARA 2" will now be writing the map.

In an exclusive phoner with 2bU!, "TARA 2's" hot and sexy host reveals how not-so-nice some of the teams are in this season, what the challenges are like and how long he plans to be part of the show.

What can viewers expect from "TARA 2"?

You can expect a lot more surprises and a lot more drama. This year, the producers spent a lot of time and energy trying to pick out colorful and provocative and combustible contestants in the race and have them all thrown in the mix racing around the world. It's just a hundred percent unadulterated entertainment. The teams will go a lot farther. If you enjoyed last season, you'll definitely enjoy this season. It's even more exciting this year.

How different are the contestants in this new batch?

Last season, the teams were all quite nice people, this season they're laying their true colors out for everyone to see. Some of the teams even wanted to start fighting with me! They're very, very angry people!

With the new season we have new rules implemented also. Sometimes the teams refuse to accept their fate or the consequences of their actions. They think they're right.

Honestly, I think some of these teams might have been a little delusional but it obviously makes for great television, too.

Last year, all the teams were pretty much excited to be on the show. Last season, a lot of the teams were saying, wow, we're in the premiere, the maiden voyage of "The Amazing Race Asia." This time around, people know sort of what to expect but, I think, even more importantly, they are out to win that money and to be the champion. Some of them will stop at nothing to try and achieve that goal.

Are the contestants from "TARA 2" more interesting than those from the first season?

I would love to say most definitely for sure but I don't want to offend the first season contestants. But I definitely think they are more controversial. They are definitely more multifaceted and a lot more colorful.

Is there a special way of introducing the new season of "TARA"?

We're going to have a special episode before the actual premiere of the first leg of the race. It's called Racers Revealed and it gives the audience the chance to get more familiar with the racers before they actually start competing on the show. In that show, there's a good chance they're going to show some of these audition tapes so in the future, people will have a better idea of what it takes to be in the show.

Were there any improvements made?

For me personally as a host I think I needed to be more myself. I think I was trying probably too much to be like Phil (Keoghan), trying to fill Phil's shoes. But the show itself, people were saying there wasn't enough self driving or the teams were all always clumped up on the same flight. This year, you can expect none of that to really happen.
There's a lot more driving, with the teams going from location to location, which tests how well these teams work together.

How different are the challenges in this season?

There's probably less fear-related ones this time and more thinking and skill-related ones, too, but all the challenges reflect on the venue or location or country or continent we're at because we do travel very very far this time around.

Did the first season rate well?

I heard about it from the producers and the TV station and they were all very excited with the ratings and viewership and response so I think that's part of the reason why we came back for season two. It was hard for me to imagine this season being better but this season's going to be off the wall.

How long will you be committed to "TARA"?

I am committed to as many as they need me for, so as long as the show is there and as long as I don't do too bad of a job, I think I'll still be in line to host and be a part of "The Amazing Race Asia." It's a unique, special and historic opportunity for me. It's by far the most exciting, the most memorable and the most enjoyable job that I have ever had.

I thought there was plenty of self-driving...

The flights thing I agree with.

What I HATED where the stupid 'order-determining' tasks, like the bungee jump. They formed a line for the Roadblock and checked in in the exact same order as when they finished! If you're going to do that, arrange it so it doesn't determine the order of check in. Roll Eyes

From wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Race_Asia_2

From a Channel NewsAsia interview on 1st October 2007, Allan said that there are teams this time that get hopelessly lost, which results in huge difference in check in time and the participants this time are much more motivated than the previous season's and do things such as cutting queues in customs and requesting their taxi drivers to exceed the speed limit to surge ahead.

The Amazing Race Asia 2 - Racers Revealed - A One Hour Special
THE SHOW
"RACERS REVEALED" is an all-access pass to the official racing teams for The Amazing Race Asia season 2

The overwhelming success of the first season of The Race, which was seen, heard and discussed in newspaper, magazines, on radio, TV, in Internet forums and around water coolers across Asia inspired the producers to create this Exclusive Special.

The world's most exciting reality TV race in Asia last year drew an estimated viewing audience in excess of 15 million per episode, from all over the region - Singapore, Japan, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

As soon as the word was out that The Amazing Race Asia was racing for a second time the AXN offices were flooded with applications, the adventurous, the young, the fit, the not so fit; doctors, IT specialists, models - they all wanted to take part in the race of a lifetime and from thousands of entries only 10 teams were chosen.

"RACERS REVEALED" gives you the viewer the opportunity to find out which of the 2500 applicants will pit their wits against unforeseen circumstances, match brawn with brains and represent their country for the ultimate Glory of Racing the Race of a life time.

Across the hour we discover who answered yes to the call of the Race and who will be taking the first step towards the finishing tarmac. Via personal interviews with each team we find out what it takes to be an Amazing Race Asia contestant.

YOU WILL MEET the team with a secret weapon that will create race history even before the race starts; the team member who shocked his family and the racer who won "FEAR FACTOR ASIA" and now has their sights set on winning the "THE AMAZING RACE ASIA"

"RACERS REVEALED" will allow us to understand what it takes to be top of the pack and be selected for The Amazing Race Asia series 2 - the world's greatest race!!!

It turns out that on Nov. 1st, they'll air "The Racers Revealed". It's like a preview. Instead of a recap episode, we get to see a preview episode. And then on Nov. 22nd, the real race begins. So they skip 2 weeks.

OK I just watched the "Racers Revealed" and I'm looking forward to seeing the Adrian/Collin team. Adrian is the real survivor in the real world. Another team that stands out is team Rovil/Marc. They're funny and energetic. Ann looks easy going; just like they said in their preview. Other teams that I'll pay attention to are: Pam/Vanessa & Paula/Natasha.

The rest Tongue

especially the Asian Romber Tongue

Henri/Terri, Ann/Diane and Sawaka/Daichi are my faves.
Marc/Rovilson are default faves.
I like Paula/Natasha too.
Colin/Adrian may grow on me, but not as of now.
Brett/Kinar, Aurelia/Sophie, Pamela/Vanessa, don't like, but don't hate too.
Monica/Edwin: If they're anything like Rob (Amber is ok), I have someone to hate... :laff:

Anyway, I think I really suck. TAR and TARA have visited Singapore thrice and I didn't see any of the racers at all. Angry

After watching racers revealed, here are the teams i really like -

Adrian and Collin
Brett and Kinar
Paula and Natasha
Henry and Terri
Ann and Diane
Marc and Rovilson

I find Daichi and Sawaka weird for some reason, Pamela and Vanessa are boring, Edwin and Monica i hate them most, while the Singapore/HongKong team Sophie and Aurelia is okay.. but i don't really like them.

Really like Henry and Terri, but they could prove to be annoying on the race. But their audition tape was the one i enjoyed the most. Adrian and Collin's SINGAPOREANS!

So that means i'll be rooting for them! Ann and Diane are the cool, hot, sexy, yummy moms! Really like their energy and spirits! Love Natasha and Paula alot too! I guess i'll stick to my pre-show favourite and root for these for teams!

But i really don't mind Brett and Kinar! Didn't like Marc and Rovilson so much, but they are fun!

Favourite team and most likely to win is never accurate. Last season Aubrey and JacQ had the highest percentages to win and was the most favourite team as well, because their country had a higher population, as well as they were models/actresses. Roll Eyes
