Looks like Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho are returning to the Amazing Race.
Previews for the upcoming 18th season of the CBS reality TV series, “Amazing Race” showed couples who had competed and lost in previous seasons returning for another shot. Among the contestants seen in the season dubbed, “Unfinished Business” were poker pros Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho.
The two must be happy to be included in this next season as it’s composed of “favourite teams” from the past, so it’s a nice compliment to go along with the $1 million freeroll.
Ho and Michelle compete on Season 15 where they were ultimately eliminated in sixth place after being unable to complete a challenge on a makeshift golf course with high winds. The ladies simply didn’t have the strength to complete the challenge and were eliminated on the spot.
When asked by Poker News Daily whether she and Ho would consider returning to the “Amazing Race”, Michelle said, “The ‘Amazing Race’ was the adventure of a lifetime. Clearly with how we were eliminated from our season, we’ll always feel like we have some unfinished business and would jump at the chance to do it again.”
Oh she even used the name of the season in her quote so you know it’s got to be true, right? Well not necessarily. While a number of sites are reporting that Michelle and Ho are indeed part of the next season, some sites have reported seeing the teams racing around Oceanworld in Australia at the same time that Maria Ho was tweeting from the Heartland Poker Tour in the US.
You can find out for sure whether Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho are on or not by tuning into the first episode which airs Sunday, February 20th. If you're like me you might prefer your reality TV mixed with some online poker. Grab your laptop and grind it up while you watch Ho and Michelle gunning for the $1 million.
