Joe & Heidi Wang Eliminated from The Amazing Race

In the most recent episode of The Amazing Race, husband and wife team, Joe and Heidi Wang were eliminated after being “U-turned” by the police detective duo Louie and Michael, who felt that the couple were a strong team that needed to be eliminated. As soon as I saw the alternative task that Joe and Heidi had to do, which was to decode a Morse code message under noisy conditions in a mock World War I trench warfare environment, I knew that they might possibly be eliminated. No other team tried to decode the Morse code, instead choosing to crawl through the battlefield task. Joe and Heidi were a competitive team, and it’s too bad that they did not make it further in the race like past Asian American teams, such as the winning siblings, Tammy and Victor Jih, and the runner-up father and daughter team, Ronald & Christina.
