Season 1

The Amazing Race Philippines 2 is the second season of The Amazing Race Philippines. It featured eleven teams of two, each in a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the Philippines. Derek Ramsay returned as the host of the show.[1]

The show premiered on October 6, 2014. It was first aired every Monday to Friday at 7:00 p.m., and Saturday at 9:00 p.m. (

PST) on TV5. During the third week, it was moved to 9:00 p.m. every Monday to Saturday. A special recap episode of those shown during the week aired every Sunday at 9:00 p.m. (PST).[2]

Dating couple Matthew "Matt" Edwards and Phoebe Walker were the winners of this season.[3]

Production

Development and filming

The ruins of Baluarte de San Diego in Intramuros, Manila served as backdrop of the Starting Line for the second season of The Amazing Race Philippines.

In late 2013, TV5 announced that it had renewed the show for a second season. The network had earlier announced that this season, dubbed The Amazing Race Philippines: Biyaheng Asya, would feature challenges across several Asian countries.[4][5] However, this was dropped due to time and logistical constraints in order to have the show ready for an October 2014 premiere date.[6]

Filming took place in late August 2014. Like the first season, TV5 commissioned the Australian production company, activeTV to produce the show.[7] According to executive producer, and director, Michael McKay, this season was going to have major changes with a tweaked format and the Fast Forward task, was to be dropped.[8] A total of 39 cameras were used to film the second season with drones filming aerial shots.[9] This season was also the first international race to use the new title card and graphics package introduced on season 23 of the American series.

In Leg 1, judges featured in the Priscilla, Queen of Desert task included theatre actors Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, Michael Williams (who were both starring in the musical), Joey Mead King, and Resorts World Manila Entertainment Head, Colin Kerr.

In Leg 2, Jodilly Pendre, from Asia's Next Top Model, was featured as the clue giver at the Makati City Go Kart challenge.

Notable Pit Stop greeters included actresses

Jasmine Curtis (Leg 1), Ritz Azul
(Leg 3), Beauty Pageant contestant Heidi Ronato (Leg 4), Festival Queen "Reyna ng Aliwan 2014" Steffi Rose Aberasturi (Leg 6), Miss Bohol 2014 Queenie Melody Fullante (Leg 7) and Miss Iloilo 2014 Janine May Coo (Leg 8).

This season introduced a new twist, called the "Duel", where teams had to compete head-to-head in a pre-determined challenge, where winning teams can move on to the next challenge, while the losing team had to wait for new challengers. The team who lost the last Duel would face a penalty.

Casting

Auditions were held from June 13, 2014, to June 28, 2014, which was then extended to July 18, 2014. Applicants had to be at least 21 years old, and a

Filipino citizen, or a permanent resident of the Philippines. Auditions were done using three methods: online, mail-in, and in person at TV5 Broadway Studio in Quezon City as well as other locations such as: SM City CEBU, Matina Town Square, Davao, and Marquee Mall, Pampanga.[10][11]

Broadcasting

The show was broadcast as a weekday program airing for 30 minutes per episode, six times a week for ten weeks beginning October 6, 2014. Unlike the first season, each leg was shown over the course of a week with each episode showing at least one task that teams had to complete. The race to the Pit Stop aired on Saturday and a 30-minute recap of the weekly episodes aired on Sundays.[2] This is in contrast to other versions of the show which aired each leg in one or two episodes per week. The last two episodes aired an hour long, and with the penultimate episode showcasing not only the final task and subsequent race to the Pit Stop, but also the highlights of the entire race at the end.

Voting history

In this season, teams encountered a voting board sometime during each leg. There, they had to cast their vote for the team they wished to delay during that leg. However, unlike last season, teams were unaware if the team they were voting for would either be U-Turned or Yielded until the clue prior to the reveal board. The team with the most votes was either delayed by a U-Turn or a Yield. Teams that had been U-Turned had to complete both Detour choices while teams that had been Yielded incurred a time penalty and had to turn an hour glass at the Yield reveal board before they could continue racing.
