The Amazing Race Asia had been the first international version of The Amazing Race and after some time, China got its own version. It started out slow but started finding a good rhythm around episode 4 when the teams developed into full characters more and they found a good task balace, unfortunately the momentum it gained would quickly crash after episode 6. First one of the more popular teams of the season took a FaceHeelTurn quickly rivaling the spot of most hated team of the season. Second came the infamous AssPull on leg 9 when they had 3 back to back non-elimination legs. Finally with two of the more likable teams making up the final eliminations, left only one team to root for. The finale was where it all came to a head though. Despite first place switching several times, they had a horrendous mid leg equalizer that cancelled out the favorite team's lead. That combined with the rather generic memory task and a terrible winner left the finale, the season, and the new spin-off on a sour note.

The Amazing Race Asia had been the first international version of The Amazing Race and after some time, China got its own version. It started out as a pretty decent season with some of the less liked teams being eliminated first, but after halfway through the season it suffered some major problems. Like one of the more likable teams taking a FaceHeelTurn and becoming one of the least likable teams in the season, one of the biggest AssPull in the series with not one, nor two, but three back to back non elimination legs, and 2 of the most likable teams being eliminated leaving only one likable team in the finale. Things seemed to be getting better in the finale when the 2 more likeable teams were ahead of Rachel & Charlie, but a mid-leg equalizer helped them catch up and in the final task, Rachel & Charlie excelled catching up and finding the quickest route to the finish line and winning. Overall China Rush 1 could be considered average at best

* FelonyMisdemeanor: They were horrified at where they had to sleep in the train

Best friends and ultramarathoners from the UK. Despite Sarah's tendency to whine, they were a pretty strong team throughout the race also being the only team other than Rick & Josh and Rachel & Charlie to win a leg. They seemed to have a good chance at winning until the 10th leg where they struggled on the golfing task in which they chose to take a 4 hour penalty after falling into last place. Before their penalty was over, all other teams had checked in and got the first field elimination of the series.

* GenreSavvy: Seemed to be the only team who remembered to take notes for the final task

* GenreSavvy: During Leg 8, in the Detour option where they had to eat incredibly spicy food, they used the yogurt packs they carried as snacks to help soothe the heat from the food, allowing them to finish before other teams.

%%* {{Expy}}: Of Flo & Zach

* SirSwearsALot: Rachel was a female version of this

* TheLoad: Rachel spent most of the second half of the race whining and arguing with Charlie

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale: Averted, as many racers felt bad for Sean having to put up with Amy's attitude

* ChekhovsHobby: Amy was said to be a good cook, which helped in the fish Roadblock on Leg 5

* IMeantToDoThat: Sean's excuse for coming in second so much
* ItsAllAboutMe: The judge in the drawing task told Amy she came off as this
