Production

Development and filming

In late 2011, TV5 announced that it has acquired the rights to air a local version of the reality show in the Philippines.[6] [7] [8] Filming took place in June of the following year. TV5 had commissioned the Australian production company, activeTV to produce the show.[9]

To promote the show, a mini race for the press was held on October 18, 2012 in Eastwood City. Press members were paired with a team from the race and completed different tasks together.[10] Teams had also appeared on various TV5 shows. Teams were interviewed on talk shows like Ang Latest and Good Morning Club, appeared on game shows like Million Peso Money Drop, Wiltime Bigtime among others.

Leg 1 featured theater actor and director Audie Gemora as a judge in the "Bingo" task and game show host Arnell Ignacio as the quizmaster of the Ikot Detour choice.[11]

Casting

Auditions were held from March 5, 2012 to April 27, 2012 (extended from April 2, 2012). Applicants had to be at least 21 years old, a Filipino citizen or a permanent resident of the Philippines. Auditions were done via three methods: online, mail-in, and on-ground at TV5 Broadway Studio in Quezon City and at other various locations.[12]

Broadcasting

Unlike its international counterparts, the show was broadcast as a weekday program airing 30 minutes per episode in 6 times a week, Monday through Saturday, compared to other versions of the show which airs 1 to 2 episodes per week.[13] [14] Also, a special marathon episode of the daily episodes per week aired on Sundays.

On December 10, 2012, the show was preempted in order to give way for TV5's telethon to support the victims of Typhoon Bopha (local name: Pablo).

Cast

On October 19, 2012, the contestants were revealed.[10] The cast includes celebrity best friends CJ Jaravata and LJ Moreno, beauty queen Danielle "Dani" Castaño and football player brothers Anton and Armand del Rosario.[15] [16] Jervi Li of Team Amigas (with Saida Diola) was the first transgender contestant to compete on any series of The Amazing Race.

Notes
  1. ^ Due to rain, Crystel & Mykey and Pamela & Vanessa were unable to complete either Detour choices at Star City and instead, had their next clues given to them.
  2. Boom & Cheng and Anton & Armand were each issued 14-minute penalties after breaking 14 jars in the burnay jar transporting task; Pamela & Vanessa and Sheena & Gee, 20 minutes for 20 jars; Fausto & Dayal and Dani & Mish, 11 minutes for 11 jars.
  3. Marc & Kat used their Salvage Pass to enter the Bantay Bell Tower before the "Hours of Operation."
  4. Anton & Armand initially arrived 4th, but were issued a 24-hour penalty as they contacted someone outside the race, which was strictly prohibited against the show's rules. The last six teams trailing them checked-in during their penalty time, dropping Anton & Armand to last place and resulting in their elimination.[19] [20]
  5. Fausto & Dayal initially arrived 6th, but did not perform an additional task at the Maligcong Rice Terraces. They were instructed to perform the additional task before they could be checked in. Dani & Mish and Ed & Angel checked-in while they went back, dropping Fausto & Dayal to 8th.
  6. Pamela & Vanessa did not complete final task. Already in last place, they were allowed to check-in at the Pit Stop and were eliminated without being assessed a penalty.[21]
  7. Marc & Kat used the Express Pass to bypass the Roadblock in Leg 5. Before using the Express Pass, Marc elected to perform the Roadblock, and this is reflected in the total Roadblock count.
  8. Dani & Mish were issued a 20-minute penalty at the Roadblock site due to Dani asking Dayal the answer to the Roadblock puzzle. They had to turn the hourglass at the nearby Yield station before continuing with their Roadblock.

  11. Ed & Angel did not finish the task at the Red Labuyo Restaurant and were issued a 2-hour penalty. They arrived at the Pit Stop last, but were notified that it was a non-elimination leg. The 2-hour penalty they would have taken from the task was instead applied to their starting time in Leg 8.
  12. Ed & Angel had been "Marked for Elimination"; however, after the other teams had checked-in, Derek came out to Luyang Beach and eliminated them without the 30-minute penalty being issued.
  13. ^ Boom & Cheng and Fausto & Dayal were each issued 40-minute penalties after arriving at Mactan–Cebu International Airport for booking business class tickets instead of economy class tickets.
  14. Sheena & Gee initially arrived 5th, but were not immediately allowed to check in because they did not come into agreement with their driver in their fare. Derek questioned the taxi driver and accepted; allowing Sheena & Gee to check-in. This did not affect their placement.
  15. Marc & Kat initially arrived 2nd, but were issued a 40-minute penalty for untying the ropes used at the Lulubog Detour. LJ & CJ checked in during their penalty time, dropping Marc & Kat to 3rd.
  16. Sheena & Gee initially arrived 3rd, but were issued a 30-minute penalty for being "Marked for Elimination" and not arriving 1st. LJ & CJ checked in during the penalty time, dropping Sheena & Gee to last place and resulting in their elimination.
  17. At the Smart Puerto Princesa challenge on Leg 13, Fausto & Dayal were issued a 15-minute penalty for using one of the illegal words in the description.

Voting history

In addition to the original Yield format used on the fourth and ninth legs, where only a single team could Yield another team of their choosing, all teams on the fifth and sixth legs voted for who should receive the Yield and U-Turn. This format is similar to the format introduced on the second season of Israel's version of The Amazing Race, HaMerotz LaMillion. Teams would encounter, at the beginning of the leg, a board where they had to cast their vote for the team they wanted to either Yield (Leg 5) or U-Turn (Leg 6). The team with the most Yield votes had to stop racing for a predetermined amount of time later in the leg before continuing; while the team who has the most U-Turn votes must complete both tasks of the Detour.
