Pro poker players Maria Ho and Tiffany Michelle have caused controversy ever since they first appeared on the CBS reality show “Amazing Race”. The controversy all started when Michelle and Ho said they were volunteer workers for a charity. This statement was an obvious lie since the two have both made names for themselves, as well as a lot of money, in the poker world.
Unfortunately for these two, their time on the Amazing Race came to an end after the latest episode. The episode started with the contestants traveling to Amsterdam where Ho and Michelle took second place in the first leg. But the pair struggled as the race went on and fell back to fifth place as teams raced to a statue.
After getting their next clue, Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho played a carnival game called High Striker where they attempted to ring a bell by hitting a mallet. The two failed to hit the bell after 30 attempts and then went on to a golf challenge. The golf game also proved to be too much for Ho and Michelle since weather conditions were bad and the golf ball was oversized.
So both contestants went back to High Striker where they again spent numerous attempts trying to ring the bell. 72 unsuccessful tries later, Michelle and Ho decided to go back to the golf course and try to complete each of the 3 holes in 8 strokes or fewer. Due to the cold wind, and their fatigue from all of the attempts at High Striker, Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho could not complete the challenge. They were eventually greeted by the show’s host Phil Keoghan who informed them that their run on the show was over. Following their elimination, Michelle and Ho ended up taking 6th place out of 12 teams overall.
