This week's Shanghai Rush elimination interviews is a two-for-one, since we only got around to watching the last two episodes on Youku (sorry, but it loads sooo slow outside of China!). Last last week, mother and son team Norma and David got kicked off after failing the map challenge. Then most recently, Brazilian couple Rodrigo and Fernanda came in last and had to go as well.

The two weren't even originally supposed to be together. Both William and Lauren had come to Shanghai Rush auditions with partners who couldn't make it, and so they decided to join up to become one of the more unlikely pairs of the season.

The most recent episode of Shanghai Rush, the first English-language reality show of its scale in China, saw intrepid Shanghai newbies, Matti and Justin get kicked off. Ultimately, a streak of terrible luck and their inability to communicate (often with hilarious results) caused them to come in last in a competition that took them all over the Songjiang district.

We hope everyone's readying their tv sets to watch Shanghai Rush, China's first English-language reality show, which premiers tonight at 8pm on ICS. While others have taken a sneak peek at the first episode - in which we're introduced to the ten teams of two that will be gracing our televisions for the next twelve Sundays - we decided to have a chat with the man behind the scenes: Eric Ransdell, director.

If you're a fan of The Amazing Race and you've got a month to kill in Shanghai, why not try out for ICS' upcoming reality show: Shanghai Rush

William Feng is the host of ICS Shanghai's travel show Getaway. New shows go out on Thursdays and are repeated across the week.
