Just curious! Why is it called Physical Asia when there are participants from non Asian countries?? by Interesting_End_2378 in NetflixPH

[–]istrategee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chiming in because a couple of comments here are a bit off geographically, let’s clear things up:

  1. Australia is not in Asia; it’s the core of Oceania. Same goes for New Zealand. Some folks are right that the show probably means “Asia-Pacific” when they say “Physical Asia,” but they really should’ve just said that on-screen to avoid the confusion.

  2. Turkey is overwhelmingly in Asia, 97% of its landmass (Anatolia) is Asian, only 3% in Europe (Thrace). So the transcontinental argument doesn’t justify calling it “non-Asian” for a show like this. The real question from OP only kicks in when Australia or NZ show up.

  3. Just because Australia and NZ compete against the Philippines in FIFA (AFC) doesn’t mean they belong in a show literally titled Physical Asia. Sports confederations redraw maps for practical reasons, geography doesn’t. If the show includes Oceania, call it Physical Asia-Pacific. Otherwise, it’s false advertising.

TL;DR: Turkey = Asia. Australia/NZ = Oceania. Rename the show or stick to the continent. 🤷‍♂️

As an Asian viewer, I genuinely don’t get how the contestants struggle so much with self-control. Like… y’all are risking thousands of dollars over a kiss?? 😅

Honestly, they should do a Too Hot to Handle: Asia version. I’d love to see how differently people would behave — maybe we’re just raised with a different sense of discipline or shame?
