The 9 teams that are going to participate in the 9th season of Asia Express, also called “Silk Road”said goodbye to family and loved ones and set off on the adventure of a lifetime.
While the other contestants were checking their bags or exchanging final impressions before boarding, Cheloo managed, as usual, to attract attention in a special way. The artist was caught enjoying a beer right at the airport while trying to hide it from the world.
He wrapped the bottle in a napkin, imitating the popular method of consuming alcoholic beverages in public spaces without attracting too much attention.
The gesture was seen more as a joke than as a real attempt to hide something, considering the artist’s lack of care, writes Cancan.ro.
“That doesn’t scare us either, because you can’t plan (no – ranking). I’m not allowed to eat spicy food, but fast is very good. We’re not the type to make alliances. When I’m sleepy I sit down and sleep and when I’m hungry, I bark”Cheloo said.
Cheloo is among the favorites this season where he will team up with Mihai Ban, his good friend and partner from the Dakar. A few days ago, the two sent a joint message: “We have a thousand reasons to participate, but we’re not going to tell you any of them.”
Season 9 of Asia Express, broadcast by Antena 1, brings to Romanian viewers a mix of stars as never seen before.
Early risers and accompanied by many emotions, the 18 competitors met at the airport, ready to spend two months away from the monotonous life, according to Click!.ro. Among them are:
Loredana Chivu and Ana Mocanu
The two former TV nurses joined forces to demonstrate their strength and determination. Arranged and flirtatious, but also with a lot of luggage, they presented themselves confidently at the airport. “I expect an intense experience that will take me completely out of my comfort zone. I know it will be hard, with many challenges and unpredictable moments, but that’s what motivates me. I want to discover myself in a completely different situation from my everyday life and see how strong I really am. I’m leaving with emotions, but also with a lot of enthusiasm. I’m leaving the comfort of my home and my loved ones for a unique adventure”said Loredana Chivu.
Valerie Lungu and Alex Gâlcă
With smiles on their faces and good energy, they embarked on the big challenge in Asia Express. If Alex Gâlcă was photographed while sitting quietly on the luggage, sending a determined message: “Let’s go!”his partner was extremely emotional: “Omg… wish us good luck” (Wish us luck).

Mirela Vaida and Oana Tomoiaga
Before departure, the two contestants had an unexpected surprise. Master Nicolae Botgros came to the airport to support them: “You came to wish us success, that we are leaving for Asia. We kiss you, master! You know that you are bringing us luck, that we saw you here before we left,” said Mirela Vaida.
Mirela Retegan and Maya
“Done! We left on the Asia Express. Today at the airport we were overwhelmed by friends and colleagues. We received hearts of strength. And donuts. And hugs of love. We left to their applause”wrote Mirela Retegan on social networks.
Gabi Torje and Alin Alexuc Ciurariu
“The first thing we thought about when we accepted Asia Express was:
The show from PROTV that takes a break after more than 20 years of broadcasting. “There’s enough hustle and bustle around”
What’s Up and Mikey
What’s Up goes on the Asia Express with Miky, his wife. The two appeared at Otopeni Airport, but the artist attracted attention with the mask he was wearing, due to a cold he is dealing with.
Radu Isac and Eduard Hordilă
“My expectations are to return home unharmed, untraumatized and with money to buy a Logan. I’ve never been to Asia or to a hit show, so I’m doing two things at once. I’m leaving a bit upset because I don’t think I know what I’m getting myself into. Otherwise, confident. I know the way to Otopeni well. I’m also happy that I’ll spend more time with Eddy. We’re both running away from responsibilities in different directions and we don’t get to see each other often.”
