IF YOU’VE BEEN FOLLOWING the exciting last few episodes of “The Amazing Race Asia 3,” you know that real-life couple Tisha Silang and Geoff Rodriguez have had their share of arriving first in the pit stops.

In this exclusive chitchat with Super, the couple dishes out status quotes on the race that “has changed everything.”

On their relationship

Tisha: I think during the first couple of episodes, we were still trying to get used to racing together.
Geoff: I agree. As the race has gone on, we’ve learned so much more about each other.
T: Now that we’re near the end, we’ve put all the fighting out of the way.
G: Besides, it’s normal for relationships.
T: With dating, sometimes you don’t really get to know anything about the other person. This race has changed everything.

On the competition

T: All the teams are pretty much neck and neck at this point. And we don’t have an alliance with anybody.
G: You know, looking back, we knew we weren’t the most liked—we were likely to be yielded anytime.

On arriving first at the pit stop for the very first time

G: The word to describe that would be refreshing. See, we had a chance to place first in the first episode of the race and we gave it away. Placing first now was more rewarding. We were on a total high.
T: I was just relieved. It was kinda like a validation of—
G: —of our relationship.
T: That if we could just keep the bickering aside, we could do anything.
G: This whole thing was just great for us.
