Why Natalie Glebova (and Pailin Rungratanasunthorn ) Were Eliminated from Amazing Race Asia 3

One of the Thai Teams was Eliminated in Episode 3 of the Amazing Race Asia: You Can't Blame Pailin Though

On the third episode of the Amazing Race Asia 3, ex-Miss Universe, Natalie Glebova and her partner, Pailin Rungratanasunthorn from Thailand, were eliminated. For those of us who have watched the first two episodes, this certainly wasn't a surprise. But for anyone else, here's why Glebova and Rungratanasunthorn were eliminated from Amazing Race Asia 3.

It's simple really. Natalie Glebova is probably the most spoiled contestant they've ever had on Amazing Race Asia and the most clueless. She didn't seem to understand how difficult the Amazing Race Asia is, how it requires a lot of physical exertion, and that there will be sometimes days where you don't get to have a shower or sleep in a hotel. For someone like Natalie Glebova, who is a pampered, hi-so (high-society) girl with no clue about hardships, this was just too much. She harped on and on about how she 'hated being dirty' and how 'tired' she was.

The funniest thing however was when she and Pailin had to spend the night at the airport in Bangkok. Pailin, being typically Thai (polite, kind and making the best of everything) settled down on a row of seats to get some sleep. Natalie started crying and insisting that this was the 'worst thing that had ever happened' to her, and no way could she sleep in an airport. What kind of privileged life do you lead if sleeping in an extremely beautiful, very clean and safe airport (Suvarnabhumi) is the worst thing that's ever happened to you?

The worst thing about Natalie Glebova though on the Amazing Race Asia 3 was her complete disregard for her partner, Pailin Rungratanasunthorn. Pailin had signed up for the Amazing Race Asia 3 really wanting to do her best and wanting to win. She chose the wrong partner in Natalie Glebova. Pailin worked hard trying to complete every task ahead of everyone else. Glebova spent her whole time whining and complaining and treating everyone else with a condescending attitude. She also gave up at least once on almost any task they had to do. With a partner like that, unfortunately, poor Pailin didn't stand a chance. As Pailin herself said "it takes two people to take part in the Amazing Race."
