AMAZING RACE FINAL THREE RACE FOR THE MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE

After 10 legs it's down to the final three teams for the race to the $US 1 million prize on the Amazing Race USA edition. The top contenders are the brother and sister team of Nick and Starr who have finished first in six legs f the race. They are followed by former NFL player Ken Greene and his estranged wife Tina who have been first on three legs.

Only one other team has finished first and that was the previous week the team being the mother Toni and son Dallas who experienced the whatever could go wrong did go wrong syndrome and were eliminated in Moscow, Russia.

Toni has been giving her son the decision making responsibility and it has worked for them throughout the race but as fate would have it bad luck and absentmindedness entered the picture.

Toni gave Dallas her passport and money to hold. While on a detour task where only one can do while the other teammate waits in a designated area Dallas left the bag with the money and passports in the taxi when he went to meet his mother. Surprisingly a number of Russians willingly gave them money without any questions during their time of need.

With very little begged money they had to travel by public transport. In doing so they were slowed down by having to beg and not being able to take a taxi.

The benefactors were Arizona State University fraternity brothers Andrew and Dan who finished second last week. Their previous highest finish was fourth. They took the right time to better that mark thus they qualified for the final three.

Throughout the competition Andrew and Dan have been challenged with poor motor skills (bad dancing rhythm), physicality and poor decision making. As Andrew said if they win it would be the biggest upset in Amazing Race history.

Tune in for the final Monday night on the AXN Network. Please note schedule below for the times and dates of that show and the repeat programs of the final episode.

Well as they say the party is over and America's Top Model has a winner and it isn't our Asian representative Sheena Sakai who was eliminated in episode 10. Top Model finished their last episode in the USA last week. The programs are televised on a six week delay basis in Asia.

This past week (episode 7) Sheena was in the bottom two but her personality got her through. She did make the final six which entitled her to the annual trip abroad for the final six Top Models. This year they traveled to Amsterdam. That takes place in episode 10 and where the end of the road came for Sheena who has been labeled too hooch (sexy). That's a good call as she is one sexy girl who for an Asian is quite tall a 5'10". As Paris Hilton would say, "She's hot."

While in Amsterdam the girls then went to the Red Light district for a challenge posing as storefront models selling various designers' dresses. Sheena was criticized for giving lewd poses. She was also criticized for her inconsistency and trouble controlling both her pose and face together. The result was she was eliminated.

After returning to New York City, USA she admitted that she probably isn't a high fashion model but more suited for being a glamor model.

There are two more episodes with Sheena involved so if you want to see America's Top Model's first full blooded Asian contestant you have two episodes to do so. America's Top Model airs Sunday night on Channel V in Southeast Asia.
