Russian Mystery with Kevjumba

Kevjumba and his dad got eliminated from in the latest episode of Amazing Race Season 17. Kevjumba recaps his experience and talks about the pair of penalties Team Jumba received, which ultimately resulted in a heartbreaking loss for them. (Watch Amazing Race Season 17 Episode 7.) It was fun while it lasted. Here’s a note from Kevin Wu :

I know a lot of people are starting to get angry at the show and CBS for eliminating us, but please try not to direct anger towards them. They’ve been kind enough to allow me to post recaps and to use their clips, and also were thankful they had us on the show. Thanks!

Stay till the end of the video for a special appearance by Michael Wu, kevjumba’s dad.

KTown Reality Show producers interview with channelAPA.com

Ever since channelAPA.com revealed the KTown Reality show cast, our site has been lit up with both positive and negative comments. Since then, we’ve also seen more provocative Ktown show photos and even the “Asian Jersey Shore” casting reel. It’s been a wild storm of conflicting comments without one episode even airing. Recently, we had a chance to chat with some of the producers for the Asian American reality show, Mike Le and Eddie Kim. They talk about the reaction from Asian American community, the biggest misconception of the show, and the stereotypes they want to break.

Producer Mike Le also wrote and intriguing piece: No Time For Love, Dr. Jones! (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Produced a Reality Show), which talks about some of the behind the scenes activities as well as his perspectives on the show.

Look for news coming soon about the KTown Reality Show
