The Amazing Race Wiki


Danielle "Dani" Kirsten Muriel Castaño and Michelle "Mish" van Ruvyen are a team of Bombshells on The Amazing Race Philippines 1.

Dani & Mish's time on the Race was marked by their frequent clashes with each other due to their differing personalities. Mish's more levelheaded demeanor often clashed with Dani's strategic, frenetic approach, resulting in many bouts of bickering between the two friends. In addition, Dani's volatile personality and frequent hysterical breakdowns grated on even the other teams, resulting in their competitors voting to both Yield and U-Turn Dani & Mish in back-to-back legs. They fell behind early on in the fifth leg after struggling with navigating and Mish struggling with the Roadblock, only being saved by a No-Rest Leg. They failed to make the most of their second chance in the next leg, however, when Dani's own difficulties in the next Roadblock, as well as a lingering injury sustained by Mish and even more bouts of bickering caused them to be eliminated in 8th place.
