The Amazing Race Asia 3 Official Winners

Update: I hate to say I told you so, Sam and Vince won The Amazing Race Asia 3! The Final 3 are: Ida & Tania, Geoff & Tisha, Sam & Vince. Now my prediction is almost complete! I am “almost certainly sure” (33% sure?) that Team Hong Kong Sam and Vince (Best Buddies) will win The Amazing Race Asia 3 (TARA 3) race. They have been very competitive so far and they have a big chance in winning the race. Wohoo!

Learning from Amazing Race Asia 2 (which kept everybody guessing who the winner would be, and ended up with a really surprising twist). But before the race ended, Colin and Adrian were already on a Sony TV ad, which really made me think, why chose them when Team Philippines Marc and Rovilson was the stronger team at the time?

See The Amazing Race Asia 3 Winners Sam and Vince of Team Hong Kong on a Sony TV Ad

I think the winners are chosen to represent the major sponsor, Sony, on their TV commercial. Just think of it as an indirect way of showing the winners beforehand.

    I agree. The same thing happened lasT year though they kept denying it to high heavens!

  2. John Says:

    could be true!

  3. vogue Says:

    yeah…i also think so…so sad for geoff and tisha!

  4. Alfredo Says:

    oks lang yan @vogue, lets try again sa The Amazing Race Asia 4 :-P

  5. norman Says:

    i don’t mind it if sam & vince are the winners, as long as Geoff & tish plus ida & tania are in the top 3.

  6. barbiedoll0116 Says:

    The TARA 1 launch party was held in Malaysia and the Malaysia team won. Same with TARA 2 launch party held in Singapore and the Singapore team won. The TARA 3 launch party was held in the Philippines last Sep-08 so there must be a reason behind that. They can choose to launch in Hongkong but why in the Philippines?

    Please don’t forget that Rovilson (Philippines) and Vanessa (Malaysia) also got a Sony commercial since they are 3rd and 2nd placers respectively.

  7. Richard Says:

    good job.. i would prefer vince & sam over geoff & tisha. js my own fav..

  8. monaco Says:

    As if to dispel speculations that Sam and Vince won, Sony has just come out with another ad with Bernie and Henry.

  9. Alfredo Says:

    @monaco. would love to see that ad! :-)

  10. micmac Says:

    id love tisha and geoff to win!

  11. adelia Says:

    i really hope vince & sam win the race since they are really a solid team. they know how to finish the leg quickly. such a good example of cooperative team. they are not like geoff & tisha, whom i think will be eliminated before they could enter the final leg.

  12. ti Says:

    ida and tania should win! i am ok with vince and sam too! just not geoff and tisha…..

  13. nora Says:

    nahhh….solid?? last episodes b4 season finale…look at sam..too weak..vince seems like wanna punch sam face bcos cannot finish and lucky on them cos singapore team also cant finish it..(thx to fuzzie…pity a.d..they got chances to be top 3)

  14. Bob Says:

    The finale 3; Ida & Tania, Geoff & Tisha, Sam & Vince..very difficult to predict whose gonna win the race, just like sam & vince that we knew they’re doing good so far but this week..but i hope the malaysian team will do the best for the final

  15. mergcli Says:

    though i love sam and vince for being a good sport my loyalty is still with my co-filipinos, geoff and tisha is an amazing team!!! they’ll win!!!

  16. rky Says:

    as far as i remember, marc and rovilson had a sony ad as well..

  17. rta Says:

    yup sam and vince did won the contest. im most certain because again for the same views above-the sony ad featuring them. the release of the bernie-henry version is meant to sway people form thinking of sam and vince as the winners (although im am equally rooting for them for their wits and strategies), choosing them hightime when only three teams are left is an absolute indication. why not ida and tania or goeff and tish, all of which are equally good looking?anyway, kudos to sam and vince.

  18. syila Says:

    i’ll go for team Phlippines ofcourse.=)

  19. Alfredo Says:

    but the poll thinks otherwise. let’s see the final episode next week! wohoo! :-D

  20. patty Says:

    because i DONT REALLY like them. i prefer geoff and tisha win. geoff is marc’s buddy (the one who is in TARA 2 with rovilson) but as you said, maybe vince and sam win.. but i’ll go and suport TEAM PHILIPPINES! haha wuhooo. go :)

  21. davaogirl Says:

    that’s true that they have a commercial but so does bernie and henry, the brother and sister team that got eliminated about two weeks ago. they also have a sony commercial being shown in axn.

  22. sbstonecold316 Says:

    I’m sorry but I don’t think this ad completely assures Sam and Vince are the winning team. Nonetheless, I really like them, I think they’ve come a long way to get such an opportunity. I’d love it if the Malaysian team wins! If it’s not them, then I really hope Sam and Vince do instead. These two teams are so entertaining to watch and they to me, are evenly matched. I don’t mind if Geoff and Tisha win, but I just don’t think they deserve it as much as Ida-Tania and Sam-Vince really do…

  23. xtian Says:

    Tish and Geoff are the winners. Gino Ruffino accidentally spilled the word Congratulations to tish and geoff during one of the episodes of hard ball last week.

    about the sony commercial, almost all participants appear on sony commercials. Henrie and Bernie also have their sony commercial, and they’re not the winners.

    The commercial is not a basis to know who won.

    Just my 2 cents! go Pinoy!

  24. fairness Says:

    geoff and tisha totally does not deserve it, come on, Gandhi is 31 yrs old? Hilarious!

    They dont have good sportsmanship and their attitude is not a good example to the younger generation.

  25. lavanderj girl Says:

    as much as I want team Philippines to win TARA 3. I beleive that Team Hong Kong is the the lucky team to win it. Because of their Sony commercial. It also state there on the lower right side that they are the Amazing team from Hong Kong. Which means they won TARA 3.

  26. Alfredo Says:

    lolz, thursday is only a few days away!

  27. jeffyiie Says:

    i think geoff and tish would win ?
    why?
    well, simple. i’m superstitious.

    TARA1 leg 10
    1st andrew and syeon
    2nd zabrina and joe
    3rd sandy and fransesca

    TARA1 last leg
    1st zabrina and joe
    2nd sandy and fransesca
    3rd andrew and syeon

    TARA2 leg 10
    1st marc and ro
    2nd collin and adrian
    3rd vanessa and pam

    TARA2 last leg
    1st collin and adrian
    2nd vanessa and pam
    3rd marc and ro

    TARA3 leg 10
    1st ida and tania
    2nd geoff and tish
    3rd sam and vince

    TARA2 last leg [ i think and i hope. ]
    1st geoff and tish
    2nd sam and vince
    3rd ida and tania

    that’s what i think why? because in the past seasons, 2nd placers in leg 10 became winners of race. 3rd placers in leg 10 became 2nd over-all and 1st placers on leg 10 are the last teams to arrive.

    well, if geoff and tish won, they deserve it. :D go philippines.

  28. joylyn Says:

    i rily hope geoff & tisha wins! they deserved it just like the rest coz they have gone through the same hurdles & tried harder even if others prejudged them. if ever geoff sounds suplado at times bt thats the way he is & nothng wrong with being frank & demonstrative. i was heartbroken when marc/rov didnt win in tara2.

  29. joylyn Says:

    just the same i am happy with the final 3 line up. they were determined & resilient but being a true pinoy my wishes are for geoff & tisha! GO TEAM PHILS! good luck to all 3 teams!

  30. sarah Says:

    I would rather have team sam and vince win than geoff and tisha. Geoff can be so mean!

  31. duh Says:

    Why is it that the Amazing Race Asia could never feature local and authentic citizens of each country?

    It would be much more interesting to see true Filipinos racing than to have a New Zealander represent a country so rich in history and civilisation. Same for teams Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, etc etc etc.

    As if we don’t see enough caucasians from the american version of Amazing Race… duh

  32. Joy Says:

    Have you seen the episode where he was hanging almost giving up? What’s competitive about them?

    They are good people but hello? they talk about helping each other with Geoff and Tisha but they left …(Counting of the contents of the sack) they suggested it in the first place.

  33. mitch Says:

    i dnt think vince and sam deserve to win the race since they didn’t even finish the last task last epi so i would rather go for geoff and tish coz they finish their task even if they are the last.. its just my opinion and im so ecited to see whose gonna win the race hopefully team phil will win.. =)

  34. kudosqueen Says:

    i definitely agree about the advertisement thingy because i noticed that too… albeit that fact, i wasn’t so convinced about the advertisement rumor because a few Saturday nights ago i was watching Sports Unlimited… Diane C. was interviewing Geoff about the race and Geoff said, “beat that, Mark and Geoff…” so i wasn’t pretty sure what he really meant by that statement…. was it because they ended either team number 1 or team number 2 and definitely not team number 3?

  35. hemlock26 Says:

    well bernie and henry also got a sony HD commercial here in singapore but they got eliminated……

    but still the final 3 teams are great!

    good luck!

  36. samsoon Says:

    sam and vince take 4hours penalty last episode for the last challenge.. it’s impossible for them to catch up with another team..ida and tania..chayok!!

  37. samsoon Says:

    ida..u are wonderwoman!!…sam can’t beat u..

  38. zezoo Says:

    Whoever wins the race deserves it. I’ve read a post that says:

    “I don’t mind if Geoff and Tisha win, but I just don’t think they deserve it as much as Ida-Tania and Sam-Vince really do…”

    And they deserve it more because…? That sucks. I think no team is less deserving than the others. Just because team Philippines was chaotic at times doesn’t mean they’re already less deserving. They’ve worked hard to be in the finale and that’s it.

    What I want:

    1st – Sam and Vince
    2nd – Geoff and Tisha
    3rd – Ida and Tania

    What I think will happen:

    1st – Geoff and Tisha
    2nd – Ida and Tania
    3rd – Sam and Vince

  39. Nuke…..shames….. Says:

    i think geoff and tisha could win the race cause they are so tuff than other teams… and they are so competitive team. go team philipplines. mabuhay tara3….

  40. jeremiah Says:

    Geoff and Tisha will win!

  41. ronin Says:

    Just a different opinion regarding the Sony Ad. I think Sam and Vince were used as endorses of the digitalcam because they won this product when they finished first in leg no. 5. Bernie and Henry were the endorsers of the handycam because they won this when they were the first to finish in either leg 2 or 3 (can’t remember which leg it was exactly).

    Geoff and Tisha won each a Bravia and a Playstation for finishing first in leg no. 7. I just wonder when their commercial for those products will be, if one was made in the first place! Hehe.

    Anyway, I just think that the producers of this show would not repeat the same mistake they did last season because I’m quite sure they were criticized for that by the fans.

    And of course, I’d like Geoff and Tisha to win this season! We’ll all know by Thursday. :)

  42. samsoon Says:

    hopefully ida n tania will win.
    coz they struggle to be the top 3.

  43. zz Says:

    Dear Duh!

    FYI, Ida is a true blue m’sian mind you, her parents are Malay…you’re such a double DUHHHH!!!

  44. AMEER Says:

    1. IDA AND TANIA
    2. GEOFF AND TISHA
    3. SAM AND VINCE

  45. bojangled dude Says:

    I think Geoff and Tisha deserves to win….seriously…the true meaning of the race is not really to make friends out of everybody…it’s all about strategy and luck….they played the game well….they had strategy….

    ….but, i don’t mind if sam and vince or ida and tania will win….

  46. TARfanatic Says:

    yeah, same thoughts here. I think vince and sam won. Their Sony commercial was the first one for TAR3, then after several days it came the Bernie and Henri Sony commercial. Same thing happened last season. Anyways, too bad or Geoff and Tish. I wanted them to win.

  47. cool Says:

    I would surely support Ida & Tanya…!

    GO MALAYSIA !!!!

  48. jiggs Says:

    Bawi nalang sa season 4. winner na tayo nyan sila marc&rovilson third place non. si geoff&tisha second place.. next season team philippines will win the amazing race asia season 4!

  49. Alfredo Says:

    Thanks everyone for participating this blog :) It looks the underdog is the winner :) Will wait for the Amazing Race Asia 4 Winners!

  50. Romm Says:

    im really sobbing over spilled milk….. wanted so bad for tish and geoff to win it for the country. they were so close. they were also the funniest, though i do think they need some mending to do with a.d. and fuzzie.

    geoff and tish, i hope the thought of winning 2nd place wont taunt you senseless. you did great and we can tell you enjoyed the whole experience. :-)

  51. someone Says:

    congrats to sam and vince…

    but it would have been more exciting if the penalty was after the race and not before the race…

    the 4 hours penalty was reduce to around 2 hours because the next clue wont be available after 8:00 AM…

    now what if ida and tania left 2:15 AM and geof and tisha left 2:30 AM… this means that sam and vince will be leaving around 6:45 AM… and then all of them will be together waiting for the 8:00 AM…

    if i was ad and fuzzie, when i saw vince /sam couldn’t cross that cliff, i would have taken that penalty…

    anyway, i think ida and tania really deserves to win… they completed all the challenges and they really worked as a team…

    geof and tisha are cool and deserves to win too… geof should have more patience with tisha… they could have worked better as a team at the kayaking…

  52. samsoon Says:

    the winner is sam n vince..
    congratulations..
    ida n tania..it’s ok u the last team arrive..
    but we malaysian proud of you!

  53. Geoff Nelson Says:

    Ugh! Who cares about them? I ain’t like the teams for this season. They’re so boring! I haven’t even watched the last episode. I hope, TARA4 will have competitors who are more interesting than in the past seasons, and I hope that in the next season, an all-girl team will win! :D Yatta! And also, I wish TAR US or Asian version will make Teen Edition for it! And when it does, I wanna be one of the racers. :)

  54. Axia Says:

    They had great team work and worth winning this race.Tiss and Geoff will piss me off if they win they have attitude prob. I rather ida and her team win instead.
