Profile

Janelle

• Age: 21
• Hometown: Sydney, Australia

Karin

• Age: 23
• Hometown: Stockholm, Sweden

Karin and Janelle are genuine "Shanghai Socialites". Originally from Sweden and Australia respectively, Karin and Janelle have spent the past year and a half as flatmates and best friends, becoming legends in the Shanghai nightlife. But as much as these two bombshells are alike, they come from quite different backgrounds. While Karin spent most of her four years in Shanghai studying or working full-time, Janelle comes from a privileged background and has lived comfortably on her parents trust-fund – until now. After the race both Karin and Janelle will return to their own countries and start new lives. China Rush may be their last shot for an adventure together in China.
