IT'S ON FOR US $1 MILLION ON THE AMAZING RACE USA

This will be the semifinal week for the Amazing Race USA edition as all of the non elimination passes have been given out and only four teams remain. The mother Toni and son Dallas team are the first team to finish a leg first other than the brother and sister team of Nick and Starr and former NFL defensive back Ken Greene and his estranged wife Tina.

Toni and Dallas are gaining momentum at the right time as they are moving to the forefront with their determination and teamwork. Unlike previous parent sibling relationship teams on the show in the past Toni and Dallas work together as friends and not like a parent always knowing what is right or wrong. Toni has confidence in her son who is young, strong and has an athletic build. He's also good looking as he and Starr are starting to heat things up on the show. As they tell it they have an attraction for each other that could continue after the race is over.

Mom is doing the right thing (at least on camera) and letting her son be the man that he is and let him handle his business without interference or jealousy. Nick and Starr have won the most legs of the race with five and Ken and Tina close behind with three. Ken and Tina have been having some bad luck with taxi drivers who don't know their way around but they have overcome those shortcomings to continue their challenge for the US $1 million first prize.

Frat buddies Andrew and Dan from Arizona State University were issued the last non elimination pass last week after they bumbled their way through several tasks. They are intelligent but make bad decisions and have some physical problems with motor skills. Their value to the show is they are nice people who give their all and add an element of comedy to the program. Who will make the final three? Tune in Monday night on the AXN Network and find out.

TOP MODEL ALMOST ASIAN'D OUT

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.

The Amazing Race Asia's Memories episode is more of a review of all of the races than a behind the scenes look of what the contestants were doing in their free time when not racing. There are a couple of scenes which depict that but not enough to merit a must view. Our rating.... NO BIG DEAL
