AMAZING RACE ASIA : CHAMPION!!!

Wow...It really is AMAZING how one day you know someone and then all of a sudden you find out this whole other side of them.It was like that with Vince.We all met around July and started hanging out.  Then we came up with the idea for  CB FRESH, shot the show and began editing it.It was around this time (Early September-ish) that  Vince mentioned that he was on The Amazing Race Asia 3.  He was allowed to talk about it since the show was premiering early September.  Due to the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), he wasn't able to talk about anything until the show actually started.Then we started seeing his face on billboards and posters across SoHo, magazine ads and newspaper interviews.  It was really cool and interesting to see the whole process in action.Every thursday there would be a gathering and we would all go to support and join in on the fun, because now we actually had an emotional attachment to the characters on-screen.Throughout all this,  SimonRob, myself and the rest of the  CB FRESH crew would constantly chisel away and say that he had indeed won the race and that he would fund our show.  Like a professional undercover CIA agent,  Vince would easily deflect any questions or queries, never giving any hint or clue as to what would come next.So finally, the day has come where  Vince, having made it into the "Final 3", sits on the edge of victory, while we all wait on the sidelines clutching our drinks and staring intently at the rectangular portal in front of us.Location:  Grappa's, Jardine House in IFC.  This was the venue for the past several eps.The CB Freshers bringing on the love and support.Etchy dropped by to lend the "Alive Not Dead" thumb of support![](/attachments/2008/11/61114_200811210204513.thumb.jpg)The suspense (sus SPENCE hehe) was too much for Spencer.Moments before the fateful victory.Mission accomplished![](/attachments/2008/11/61114_200811210204516.thumb.jpg)And the crowd goes wild![](/attachments/2008/11/61114_200811210204517.thumb.jpg)Minutes later, we tried contacting Vince, but alas, he is now too big for the little people...Its all good, cuz we love the boy no matter what!Well, here's to a really incredible journey that has brought me a good friend and has also coincided with the creation of our brand and show.  So hopefully this is just the beginning for our  Vince Matthew Chung and the only place he can go is up!Semper Fi Marine, Semper Fi.
