Executive Producer, Michael McKay, revealed that this latest installment has a greater tilt towards humour, saying, “Manas and Sahil from India generate the laughs right from the start, Ethan and Khairie from Malaysia are just naturally funny guys; and the Richards from the Philippines have a very dry sense of humour, though Hilda might just steal the opening episode.”

Filmed in June 2010, The Amazing Race Asia 4 flagged off in Kuala Lumpur, marking the series’ first return to Malaysia since the first installment, which flagged off at Dataran Merdeka. As before, a diverse mix of characters were selected to make up for the ten teams participating in this season.
