The show is all about contestants from different parts of asia, doing a race around the world. At the start of episode the teams are given money and where to get their next clue. The team would need to complete the stunt before they can get their next clue. As usual the final winner(s) of the race would win a lot of money.
It is fun to watch the contestants trying to convince the taxi drivers to go in the direction they need to or pay taxi drivers to show them the route. It also shows how people would selflessly help others, by taking the contestants to the destination.
Being a game the contestants would be trying to outdo each other by using:
1) Fast forward -> DO a single task and go to the pit stop(Can be used only once by the team in the race) 2) Yield -> The team that is yielded has to wait before they move ahead(Can be used only once by the team in the race)
The tasks are challenging with some tasks meant only for one of the team members to do and others where both team members need to participate.
The things I dont like in this series are:
1) The original amazing race has gifts for the winning team in each episode. The team that wins in amazing race asia dont get any gifts
2) The amazing race asia is scheduled at 11pm India, which is 2 late to watch the show!
