Earlier this month, we were walking through the Channel One mall when we came across auditions for a new reality tV series called 加油!东方天使 - roughly translatable into "Let's Go! Oriental Angel."

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.
