8.30 The Amazing Race (90 minute season premiere)

I hope ithis double emmy winner does well against kath and kim and remains in the timeslot, seems seven are trying to promote this show for once as it went really well for CBS. Season 6 is going to be the first season to play in the Fall since season 3 and will premere late october/early november.

Awesome stargate heaven!

About time the amazing race got a decent time slot.

^^I saw about three weeks worth of the new season of the Amazing Race when I was in the US in July...very cool, some funny personalities! :)

I can't believe its finally in a prime time slot. No more staying up till 11pm on Saturday nights.

The Amazing Race is returning soon to 7. Im excited. Just thought id tell eveyone.

Anyone know where r'outemarker' has gone? He was obsessed with this show

:D Yes where is Routemaker these days?

I'll be watching?

I'm so happy it's going to be in a good timeslot. I remember Channel seven promoted one season of the Amazing Race, except it was on a saturday I think and it didn't do all that well.

But I'm also happy it'll be paired up with my favourite show.....STARGATE!

I wonder this time if they'll travel to Bangdad. :)

I remember they came to Brisbane and then went to the Sunshine Coast and to Cairns. I was so disappointed. I wanted them to come to the Gold Coast. Hope they do in this series.

did anyone catch last nights episode?? filmed in DUBAI!!! they went up worlds tallest hotel, skyline looked amazing! lots & lots of bldgs!

I saw it as well. Dubai looked great. It was very kind that the hotel allowed them to be used on the program. It was also shocking that Charla and Mirna got eliminated in Tanzania. They were regularly towards the front of the pack and I was impressed with their cleverness.

Also this is the first series I've watched of the program and I think it's one of the most exciting and thrilling reality TV shows out there. I like the unpredictable nature of the program which also adds to it.

Dubai looked amazing, as did Buenos Aires and the southern part of Argentina a couple of weeks back. The race is great, i love the places they visit and the tasks that they have to complete (though not as funny as in the last race). It is disappointing that racers can be at the mercy of ruthless taxi drivers or people intent on ripping them off (but i suppose that is part of the race). Those nasty guys on the bus in Tanzania seemed shady and it was good to seem them get out of their in one piece.

One thing i hope happens in future races. It would be great to see an International version of the Amazing Race with teams from a few countries competing for glory rather than just teams from the US...

have they ever come to Australia in this show, do you think they will in this series?

They have. They went to Sydney (bridgeclimb) --> Adelaide (dunno) --> Northern SA. (to dig some opals).

They have. They went to Sydney (bridgeclimb) --> Adelaide (dunno) --> Northern SA. (to dig some opals).

Which series was that?

it was couple of years back. they even went to Mooloolaba in NEQ and never go the name right! mooollloaaallbbaaarrrr!!! in yank accent.llol

Series 4 I think. (the series before the one currently on air)

colin is a total wanker, i was so hoping he was gunna get arrested or at least punched by the taxi driver

lol same i hate him - last night episode was good for two reasons
1. dubai was awesome
2.The midget and her cousin went (i hated them)

If you wana know who wins try and uncode this

GCKHPIAPSH & GHKJIDMR

lol same i hate him - last night episode was good for two reasons

If you wana know who wins try and uncode this

GCKHPIAPS & HKJIDM

can ive another hint, buggered if I can spell a word from HKJIDM because theres only 1 vowel in there ?

ever second letter is one letter of the winner
eg.
kCkHyRdIaSqHyTwAhRjRoA8NxT
that says - Chris tarrant (the capitals are every second letter.)

ever second letter is one letter of the winner
eg.
kCkHyRdIaSqHyTwAhRjRoA8NxT

Ah gotcha ! ;)

Well, looks like we're very slow with getting the Amazing Race over here, the 6th series is already being shown in America. We're still watching the 5th series I think. Unfortunately now I know who did win, even b4 Perth4life said so. :(

(P.S Perth4life, I'd advise removing the name of the winner asap to prevent anyone else who doesn't want to know yet from knowing)

a bit too late for that me thinks, looks like ill be watching the last episodes for the scenery now and not for the race :bash:

sorry i feel bad, when i found out i didn't want to be told (but im happy)
i'll make it more confusing.

p.s you didn't have to read that!

Eh. The ending wasn't too exciting for season 5. We're (I live in the US) going to see 6x03 Tuesday!

colin is a total wanker, i was so hoping he was gunna get arrested or at least punched by the taxi driver

Yeah, he was lucky but I feel that he did have the right to contest the fare as the driver failed to deliver on his promise of getting them there second!!!!. The way he handled the matter though was silly. If he was calm, maybe he could of got a compromise. The drivers (including the bus drivers) I thought were very arrogrant in trying to milk each of the couples money.

I hate Colin too. Im glad GCKHPIAPS & HKJIDM win. They totally deserve it.

yer, lol.

they charged them $150 or something just to get into town, then they wouldnt let them off the bus when they didnt want to pay, god they're scrabby.

sorry i feel bad, when i found out i didn't want to be told (but im happy)
i'll make it more confusing.

nah mate its sweet, i have no self control and couldnt help myself :)

Eh. The ending wasn't too exciting for season 5. We're (I live in the US) going to see 6x03 Tuesday!

I had a look at the official site for the Amazing Race 6 and they're already well into it. Two pairs have been eliminated and are making their way across Scandavia.

Any oz stop overs?

Any oz stop overs?

No idea for series 6. The route is unknown and is only revealed as they travel through them.

last nights episode was a crack up purely because of colin going crazy with his ox. quote of the year has to be "My ox is broken!!!" :cheers:

this show rocks. so glad they moved it from 11pm to 8:30pm!!!

I hate collins so much. Hopefully get eliminated next episode.

just a clue, because u all hate him

KhYe IdUoWeBsTRt UwQiPn

the small letters are the clue, yer i thort he was gunna hurt the ox! dickhead.

We will know who wins tonight. Go Colin & Christie :)

The race ended in Dallas last night with Chips & Kim winning the million. They were in last place during the visit to Calgary when the other two couples - Colin & Christe along Brandon & Nicole ended up leaving the city later than originally planned as their American Airlines flight was delayed by two hours & could not secure seats on another carrier . Chips & Kim were able to grab another flight (United Airlines) that put them two hours ahead of the others and were made aware of the delay. That two hour lead ensured they won the million. Congrulations to them.

Runners up were Colin & Christe - Well done to them
& third place - Brandon & Nicole

I hope they do series 6 when the ratings season starts in Feburary.

chip and kim were VERY LUCKy, maybe they got the "karma" that they always thought they deserved, well done.
the best players were undoubtably Colin and Christie but just had bad luck.

Dallas skyline looks awesome from that park but the inner city looked pretty tragic to me.

Good that Chip & Kim won. I hated Colin & Christie - they dissed my hometown.

We've half way thru the next season here in Canada. I'll be sure not to spoil anything for you. LOL There are two more seasons to come as they just OK'd another after the current one we're getting now. Think they're on Season 6 now and 7 is coming up next summer (Canada) Its a great show. I will warn you though that the biggest wanker in the world is in Season 6 that we're half thru now. He is worse than anybody before.

lol, did my clues help neone? KCUHLIP GAHNUD WKRIAM
CHIP AND KIM, yey.

May we have a preview of what countries will feature in the next series? :)

May we have a preview of what countries will feature in the next series? :)
well teams visit Iceland,the worlds biggest IKEA, Hungary and Senegal just to name a few.

lol random countries, please dont give anymore away, the amazing race is my favourite show besides the OC >> i bet they finish in the US again.

lol random countries, please dont give anymore away, the amazing race is my favourite show besides the OC >> i bet they finish in the US again.
they will always finish in the US thats why its a 'race around the world'. they dont finish in teh same city due to possible spoilers from people seeing them leave and waiting around to see who arrives a month later.

ok thanks, how du know neways, ure over here?

Did they go to Spain sometime?

Did they go to Spain sometime?
i think they drove through spain to go to Algeciras to catch a ferry to morrocco in season 3.

i read the thing about finishing in the US and in diffrent cities to avoid spoilers from a website interview with co-creator Elise Doganeri. her husband Bertram van Munster (Executive Producer) came home one day and challenged her to come up with a TV show concept and she came up with what is now 'The Amazing Race'.

They renewed the english channel in Dubai its called "one tv". I can see the amazing race now.

They have been to Spain to my knowlege. Im beginning to think they'll go places like Scandinavia and Turkey.

Series 6 starts in two weeks (Feb 1) :)

yey thank fuck for that.

...and at a more decent time too - 7:30pm

monday night 7 30?

monday night 7 30?
no It will premiere Tuesday 7.30 (2 hour premiere episode) it will then move to Thursday 9.30 after the hit new series Lost.

so all in all 3 hours of amazing race next week.

also note an encore presentation of monday nights desperate housewives will play directly after the amazing race 9.30 tuesday.

seven are repeating the amazing race premiere thursday at noon to catch some of that daytime audience into watching the next episode which will air later on in the evening.

lol!! back at skool on tuesday :( so it will be good to watch that night, cant wait for the series LOST, does that premier tonight? or have i missed one?

lol!! back at skool on tuesday :( so it will be good to watch that night, cant wait for the series LOST, does that premier tonight? or have i missed one?
Lost will premiere Thursday Feb 3 at 8.30 followed by the 2nd episode of The Amazing Race 6 at 9.30. The perfect match!

The lost premiere will be repeated agin Friday feb 4 at 11.30 and Saturday feb 5 at 8.40.

So you'll have 3 chances to catch the best new show on television

yey!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE OC RETURNS ON TUESDAY, ILL HAVE TO TAPE THE AMAZING RACE!!!

Thank god seven a repeating some of these shows, they're all in Loaded timeslots.

And those who want to catch up on the older contests can watch it at 9:30pm tuesday's on FOX8.

Loving the new series so far!!! Pissed myself laughing last week watching them try to "rollerskate" (I thought it was road skiing) down the hill. The wrestlers might kill eachother by the end of it and I think the entrepeneur's are heading for a divorce. That Hellboy is a real sook.

One thing that I find a little more prevelant this episode is how much they all fight with eachother, but it seems to be a much closer race this time, they always seem to be driving in convoy.

The dumb girls who cant drive a stick shift have gone thank god, they just seemed a little too much like quitters. I am so far most impressed with the father/daughter team who went from last place to 3rd without cheating, driving like they have a deathwish or being the most athletically capable group. And credit must be given to the old couple when they climbed that ice wall!

The Amazing Race is back!!!!

First episode of series 9 was great - Sao Paulo is insane! There's an Australian leg this series - contestants have been sighted in Perth, Darwin, Adelaide and Sydney (some cities may have just been stopovers?)

Yay! It's been fucking ages since the amazing race was last on. Makes thursday night a good night for tv but WHERES STACKED?

Watched the marathon on FOX 8 not too long ago. The best series I watched was when they stopped in Sydney...damn that was great, and golfing in Coober Pedy :D

Perth and sydney cant be stop overs.

Perth and sydney cant be stop overs.
If there coming in to Australia, Perth could be a stopover then they catch a connecting flight to the eastern states. ;)

Damn, I love this show! I remember when they stopped off in Adelaide on one season, my uncle actually picked up one of the groups in his cab. I believe the group was brothers and sisters and the guy was called Blake.

I've been told by a friend at uni which city that they will be in as the shop she works in will be involved in the show. I will keep it a secret. I'm aware that they will have to do something "sporty" while they are here as well and it involves that shop:)

Hey, is the one on Ch 7 Season 8 or 9?

It's season nine. There was a series 8, but it was all American and they didnt go overseas.

Yep it’s season 9, the latest. We’re about 1 or 2 episodes behind the US.

they are coming to Perth, Busselton and Port Headland

I've got a feeling there coming here to Adelaide & Kangaroo Island, tho if it does happen it wont be the first time, Adelaide & Coober Pedy were in it a couple of years ago

hoping they do come here because of the massive exporsure Adelaide and the State would get!!!

but i wish they would do a Aussie version - wat is very unlikel :(

If they don't go to WA they should finally go to melbourne!

yeah well i heard they will be going to some of Australia's top attractions!!

I agree Melbourne deserves to be in it!!!!

Was it not on last week? Please say it wasnt! I checked but it wasnt playing.

']Was it not on last week? Please say it wasnt! I checked but it wasnt playing.
It wasn't on. It's back this Thursday.

Yay! Its my fave show on telly too. Only started watching it 2 series ago, but love it :-)

yay! Its on again! (tommorow)

The latest episode came out in America on Sunday. The Australian city that was featured was...

...Perth.

Features Kings Park War Memorial, Fremantle and Rottnest Island.

And then they apparently continue on to Darwin.

Thats not what my friend said. They told me they were coming to Sydney.

Well after Darwin there suppose to be moving onto Thailand...

How many episodes ahead of Australia is the U.S.A. in the current series?

Its Brisbane!! then another city! a friend that works in Boarders in the city had Ray & Yolanda ask for a lonely planet guide to asia!!! Also the clue box was spotted next to the wally Lewis statue outside suncorp!!!

Well episode 9 was in Perth. Check out the CBS web site. Not sure where they go after that.
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race9/shows/ep09/phil/photos/slideShow/1.jpg
On Rottnest Island.

Amazing Race is truly one of the best way to recognize a country.. I never knew about Fremantle 'til I saw the Amazing Race.. Sorry, I really am an ignorant american :runaway:

Don't worry. The East coast of Australia is also ignorant when it comes to Perth or Western Australia in general :runaway:

AFAIK Brisbane and Sydney were just stopovers on flights into/out of Perth from Africa. There weren't any tasks in any of those cities.

CRAP! I accidently stumbled across who won!

Don't worry. The East coast of Australia is also ignorant when it comes to Perth or Western Australia in general :runaway:

and Adelaide & the rest of SA!!!!

Don’t forget Perth will be in this week’s episode. Then they are off to Darwin/Lake Bennett the following week.

Did anyone catch the Amazing race in Aus? Good ep, although they spent too much time in fremantle...i wanted to see more Perth... :)

I agree with you SoulvisionQ1.
Didn't really give a good expose of Perth itself, however better than nothing.
Bit disappointed the 'Old couple' got eliminated, I was hoping they'd win...GO THE HIPPIES.....

Did anyone catch the Amazing race in Aus? Good ep, although they spent too much time in fremantle...i wanted to see more Perth... :)

yep, i will also have to agree with you there, i mean the only part of perth they did, was the war mermorial lol:)

^ dar.
Though it begs the question how did melbourne go about missing a chance to shove it's head in front of the international stage?

As for the footage. It was bad and showed little of perth and our dimensions. That smell is shocking. Going to the perth hills go down Great eastern highway and not the bypass to avoid smell.

It wasn't in Melbourne? then I don't give a stuff about missing it.

Typical self indulgent Victorian!!

^^ Umm, why? unlike you i actually enjoy watching other citys and states like perth on the AR, but unfortunatly they didn't have all that much on it...
It wasn't in Melbourne? then I don't give a stuff about missing it.
looks like someone deleated your last post aswell... how rude of them... :jk:

last episode was crap, but this episode looks much better! i don't mind them showing 2 episodes of Perth haha.

Where were the Quokkas?! I was so disappointed - why highlight Rottnest without the cute little critters?

Still, it was worth it for the Frat boys in speedos! :)

they didn't show enough higlights or didn't give enough info.
baha and in freo they were soo dumb standing waiting for a taxi when the prison was up the road.

As for the footage. It was bad and showed little of perth and our dimensions.

Yeah I thought the footage was crap

and it really didnt impress me

hopefully tonights episode will see alot more of the city, because last episode was the worst, it was like 90% in fremantle lol

Would have been a 15 minute walk to Old Fremantle Prison tops from the Rottnest Express Terminal. While I was in Perth I had a good walk around Fremantle.

last week the taxi driver droped the hippies off at perth train station and told them to catch a bus to freo when they could of caught a train. that was weird

Yeah the taxi driver wanted to stuff them around. Everyone in Perth knows the trains run frequently.

"The Amazing Race" is over for another year.
"Dang those hippies"! :)

yeah go the hippies!

"damn you frat boys!"

Glad the hippies won, though they all really need to polish up on their flags, you'd think you'd remember where you've just been!

Those frat boys are hot but I'm glad the sweet hippies won - that brunette hippy was kinda cute too!

Was an excellent finale. Good to see the hippies win!

When are they ever going to visit Melbourne? They've been everywhere except Tassie and Victoria.

^^ I don't think they will for a long time now...Cause audiences in America will get angry if they go to Australia again..

How was the hippies' effort in consuming a (big) bowl of grasshoppers and crickets each? They each threw up at least twice! :puke: They deserved to win just for that!

From that we can deduce that they weren't vegetarians...

Coincidence?

A last-to-first listing of the foreign (non-USA) countries that the teams visited reveals: 3. Australia, 1. Japan.

World Cup result: Australia 3, Japan 1.

Spooky... :runaway:

Anyone see lasts nights episode set in Auckland - showcased the skyline really well. One team had to climb up the antenna of the Sky Tower, and the other teams had to scan the skyline with binoculars for gnomes hidden on rooftops and balconies of skyscrapers all over the city - then go up there and collect them. Then another task set on top of Mount Eden, with stunning views of the skyline. Great stuff. Although the blond chicks were eliminated :(

good episode - pity some of the perve factor has been eliminated. It looked pretty scary hanging off the outer ladder at the top of Sky Tower.

Bump. Anyone still watch The Amazing Race? Its a credit to the format of this show that it is now into its 14th season but it reamains virtually unchanged. Not like the other boring reality competitions which have to rely on sensationalist twists that will "change the game forever" every five mintues in a desperate attempt to con the viewers into sticking around.

Anyway, its on like donkey kong once again. First episode last night was pretty good, particularly the cheese rolling, made even better but the Swiss dudes laughing their arses off on the sidelines :lol: And good to see Preston and Jennifer eliminated, they spent the whole episode bitching and abusing each other.

Tuned in the other day to watch the latet series.

Gotta agree with the cheese rolling scenes which were great, though i wondered why none of the teams bothered rolling the cheese down the hill if they were eventually allowed to get away with such anyways.

The teams are mostly 'interesting' as well, and you've gotta admire the communication between the mother and son so far.

Watched the Amazing Race the other night... absolutely sums up everything that is wrong with American television (and culture) at present...

With the exception of mother & deaf son, its just a parade of culturaly ignorant, self centred celberity seekers. God knows what the taxi drivers thought when some contestants said "its really important, we're in a race" when they were trying to get to the dam.... (a) no effort to speak the local language at all, and (b) getting somebody to a hospital is important, hurrying someone along because you're running late is just rude.

Still, compulsive viewing, will no doubt be tuning in next week.

^^ I get what you are saying but think you are being a little unfair.

Honestly do you think we Aussies would fare much better? You seen many Australians being 'cultural sensitive' or speaking the lingo while on hols in Bali? And thats while doing normal boring everyday holiday stuff like buying weed or a can of coke. Unlike A.R contestants who rush across a god ugly stinking city with wierd foreigners in the way while severely jetlagged with b.o, needing to take a dump REAL soon alongside a partner who you used to like but now looks ugly and is pissing you off all the time thinking Phils gonna send you home tonight.

Sure the producers could only pick only culturally aware Americans who speak fluent Russian, Greek, Pashtun and Xhosi but that wont make for great tv.

I do like it but whenever they go to Brazil and the contestants use their Spanish on the locals: "Si senor, muy rapido!" Trying to be polite but missing the mark greatly.

Definately compulsary viewing. Although I dont get to worried if I miss an episode nowadays. Im like "Where are they now, Mongolia? I'll give this weeks episode a miss."

Also how did Phil end up with a Boston accent?

Channel Seven have now gone straight onto screening Amazing Race 15 which is good cause we're only two episodes behind the US. And this season might be of particular interest to us because a) it has a contestant with aspergers and b) has a couple of legs in Dubai, including something involving the Burj Dubai! Should be good.

I do like it but whenever they go to Brazil and the contestants use their Spanish on the locals: "Si senor, muy rapido!" Trying to be polite but missing the mark greatly.


Don't they speak Portuguese in Brazil?

or do you mean they're attempting to speak words that overlap between both languages?

Are they coming to Australia this time? I always bloody miss when they do!

Don't they speak Portuguese in Brazil?

or do you mean they're attempting to speak words that overlap between both languages?

It's because they're speaking the wrong language.
They're similar, but still different (Yes they speak Portuguese in Brazil)

I love it how when they go to countries where they use a cryllic alphabet and the Americans are trying to read it, for example they read 'Москва' as "Mockba" when it's actually pronounced as "Moskva"

Are they coming to Australia this time? I always bloody miss when they do!Unfortunately not. I think the last time they came to Australia was Amazing Race 9 (filmed in Nov 2005), which you'll probably remember cause they visited Perth and went over to Rottnest Island.

I do not remember :lol:
I guess I missed it :/ the time they actually do come here I dont see it :bash:

The Amazing Races episode last night was great, i dont really have a favourite yet but Zev and Justin i like.
LOL, it showed a sneak peak of next weeks and Lance from team Lance & Keri, he challenges Phil*the host* to a wrestling match right there and then, he must get a time penalty in like 8th place or sumthing, cause he goes off, the sneak peak was funny and i cant wait to see what causes this wrestling challenge.

I just seen the preview to the next episode of the amazing race, there in dubai!
one of the tasks is the jump of the burj dubai! :nuts:

looks like a good episode though :D

Hopefully the series will be Melbourne and Victoria one day. Mind you, they've visited just about everywhere else Perth, Brisbane, SA, NT and Sydney. So that just leaves Tassie and Victoria. Not a big deal if the contestants are spared Canberra. LOL

They didn't have to jump off it, but it would have bein funny to watch them do that though.

Haha, Maria and Tiffany broke their cars radiator, its good Sam and Dan waited behind till Maria and Tiffany's replacement car arrived.

Awesome!
last week the two that I hated got kicked off :D
the lady was alright, just the bloke shitted me off big time!
complete cocky cockhead!

:D

Can't believe the chick didn't go down the slide... What an idiot.

Yeah caught the end of that, pretty hilarious.

Can't believe the chick didn't go down the slide... What an idiot.

haha she was going mental!

Im watching it now, we are hours behinde all yous (N)

who goes, the globes?
big easy is taking forever on this case, he cant tell time!

Can't believe the chick didn't go down the slide... What an idiot.

That pissed me off. Then the fact she seen the other team, but still sat there!
Though it was funny when her boyfriend was trying to force her down. haha

what a chicken shit chick! she was all freakn out and stuff. it was just a water slide ffs! so she loses the race for them, i'd be dumpn her arse...

It wasn't as crazy as the slide and Wet n Wild either. I'd be so pissed off about that. I don't watch it, just caught the end before Family Guy.

It wasn't as crazy as the slide and Wet n Wild either. I'd be so pissed off about that. I don't watch it, just caught the end before Family Guy.

haha, your like me
the only reason I watch it
is so I dont miss family guy and american dad :lol:

Yeah and it always goes overtime so I have to wait to see family guy.

I got all seasons of Family Guy and American Dad on DVD, so i dont watch them on TV.

Haha, funny thing is, her fear made them lose the race, she had 2 fears, water and heights, what a combination. So insignificant.

:nuts:It wasn't as crazy as the slide and Wet n Wild either. I'd be so pissed off about that. I don't watch it, just caught the end before Family Guy.

I stayed at the Atlantis earlier this year and the waterpark is truly brilliant - just the "lazy river" ride takes over an hour and includes loads of rapids.

It is a scary slide when you look down on the sharks from a height, but i don't get why someone fearful of heights and water would enter the Amazing race knowing there would be scary tasks?! :nuts:

Who's going to audition for The Amazing Race Australia (http://au.tv.yahoo.com/the-amazing-race/)?

Who's going to audition for The Amazing Race Australia (http://au.tv.yahoo.com/the-amazing-race/)?:banana: :banana2: :banana2: :banana:

That is awesome news!! I wont audition, but can't wait to watch. Good on Seven for making the committment but I hope its going to be a fully fledged race around the globe, not just a half arsed version on the cheap. And exciting to hear that Phil Keoghan is possibly hosting, but Grant Denyer and Daniel Macpherson have also been linked to the show. Denyer could be alright but I couldn't stand Macpherson. More info in article from The Spy Report (http://www.mediaspy.org/report/2010/08/05/the-amazing-race-australia-confirmed-by-seven/)

Yay!!

Who's going to audition for The Amazing Race Australia (http://au.tv.yahoo.com/the-amazing-race/)?

Grant Bowler will host. Filming now - supposedly in Europe at the moment.

In related news the 18th season of the US version of The Amazing Race is currently in Australia. Sydney yesterday. Broken Hill - "outback" - today. Rumoured Melbourne tomorrow (but it would be very unusual to spend so long in one country).

i applied :( havent heard back :( awwww

does anyone know the progress of this show?

have they filmed it and are waiting to show it after christmas?

^^As hornetfig said, the (Australian) race is in progress as we speak. Left from MCG, legs in Bali, Vietnam, Macau, then South Africa and now over to Europe. You can follow the spoilers at RealityFanForum (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/board,96.0.html). Grant Bowler is a great choice as host, he was good on The Mole. And apparentely the (American) racers are currently on the Indian Pacific from Broken Hill (TAR18 on RFF (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/board,122.0.html)). Exciting to have them back in Australia.

How exciting!

USA Amazing Race contestants are now believed to be back in Sydney. Next stop - Japan

They are spending a fair amount of time in Australia

I just thought i would let you guys know that the amazing race was in perth today...

American TAR18 is now airing on 7mate on Sundays at 6:30pm. First episode taking place in Sydney was on last week, with several activities around Manly. You can watch it online (http://au.tv.yahoo.com/plus7/the-amazing-race/) if you missed it. Tomorrow night is the episode where they head out to Broken Hill. Hopefully the Australian TAR will start airing as soon as this series is finished.

How exciting!

USA Amazing Race contestants are now believed to be back in Sydney. Next stop - Japan

Did the US Amazing Race make it to Brisbane back in November? Around that time I was at South Bank having lunch and a couple of girls with a camera crew pulled up on Little Stanley St at South Bank in a Wiked Camper. The girls jumped out of the car and ran into South Bank being followed by the camera crew. They then ran back, jumped in the van, did a very quick car leaving scene for the camera crew, who then jumped back in and they were off again (just barely in time for camera crew to make it back into the van). I'm pretty certain it looked like an Amazing Race style event -> of course there are numerous versions of the show across the globe these days.

Just checked on Wikipedia and they did not make it to Brisbane. They are going to Lijiang though -> one of my favourite places on the planet. Never thought the Amazing Race would make it to Yunnan provence -> a bit off the beaten track.

^ you may have seen The Amazing Race Asia?

Review (http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2011/05/the-amazing-race-australia.html)

Amazing Race Australia started around 30 Minutes ago! Great aerial shots of Melbourne

indeed melbourne looked amazinggg!

I thought the show was good, though rather over edited so we seemed to skip over things.

Still, I already love the Big W ladies! And hate the "entrepreneur" couple who seem nasty & over-competitive already.

Typical of Australia though to not represent an Asian or gay couple -whereas the US show usually always has more diverse couples.

great series

Its funny with the Oz accent on this show, i know ill get used to it but im so used to the contestants saying things like ''Dangit'' and being all gang-ho American.
The $250,000 prize money is ok but it aint no million.
My favourit team are the Muslim brothers, not just because they are from Melb but they seem like genuinely nice guys.
Though how long they last is anouther thing, comming last on the 1st leg and it being a non-elimination and having to come 1st in the next pit-stop or incur a 30 minute penalty doesn't gell well for this team.

It was good, however for me the show lost a LOT of credibility when it "subliminally" showed the NAB credit card being placed on the counter at Melb airport. Its a tacky and unnessesary thing which doesn't happen in TAR US but seems to happen a lot in Australia shows in general. I would prefer to have a NAB ad banner at the bottom like they did for the first check in rather.

^^ All true Dockside, though at least the Aussies don't say "Good Job!" every 5 minutes!

I thought it was pretty good. Although one thing I found a bit annoying was some of the teams putting on a fairly patronising accent to the locals at the market. I think I'll be going for Sam & Renae, they certainly make for good viewing :)

I would prefer to have a NAB ad banner at the bottom like they did for the first check in rather.It guess NAB is sponsoring Australian TAR like Travelocity sponsors American TAR. They usually get a plug at the pit stop, and there have been a few tasks that involve finding a Travelocity gnome. Although granted using the gnome doesn't seem as blantantly commercial as a random shot of the credit card.

I watched it last night, and it is just as good as the American versions that I have seen. My only disappointment was the prize money. They should offer more.

I like it

It's the first series, i'm sure there will be gay couples in the future series. Why does it matter anyway?


P.S. There are 2 guys of Egyptian background & also a couple that look to be Greek.

I watched it last night, and it is just as good as the American versions that I have seen. My only disappointment was the prize money. They should offer more.

$250K is still a pretty decent prize! Also, the girls who won the first leg won $10K. Pretty good IMO! The leg winners in the US version usually get a holiday.

Its a tacky and unnessesary thing which doesn't happen in TAR US but seems to happen a lot in Australia shows in general.

Take your Travelocity Roaming Gnome and shove it up where now?

Just be care not to run over your bottle of Snapple in your brand new 2011 Ford Focus

I thought that they finally replicated the original series well here. I loved it.
My favourites are the two fat women, the cowboys and the models. The 'entrepreneur' couple from Sydney made me almost puke. As did the Greek dating couple. He's hot but obviously gained his education from the bottom of a cornflakes box.

I thought it was pretty good. Although one thing I found a bit annoying was some of the teams putting on a fairly patronising accent to the locals at the market.

This was my only real criticism (which could hardly be levelled at Channel 7). And when that dickhead was wailing "please, my children need food!!" in the Indonesian marketplace I thought that was in really poor taste on his part.

Otherwise it wasn't that bad. The product placement was entirely predictable... no Australian network would shell out this much for a show of this style without having relentless product placement.

The Amazing Race is boring. OZ version isn't much better, only difference are the accents of the people screaming at every task.

Widget prefers the Wiggles :(

I seriously can't understand the Cowboys when they speak.....

Why is is tacky and why do you even care? Weird that you'd let something so minor bother you. NAB obviously sponsor the show in same way...it's no big deal.

My only disappointment was the prize money. They should offer more.

Well it ain't no million, only 1/4 of it; to make it feel better:

$250,000AUD = $264737.40USD

Bring on Vietnam next week! Will the Race end at the MCG or someplace else?

^^ they pay tax in the US so they end up with virtually the same prize money.

"While taxes vary by state and how on winnings are invested, a rough rule of thumb is that a winner who takes a lump sum can reasonably expect to pocket 1/3 of the jackpot amount after the initial tax withholding and additional taxes at the end of the tax year. Therefore, a winner of a $100,000,000 jackpot who takes a lump sum can roughly expect to have $33,000,000 after filing income tax documents for the year in which the jackpot was won."

Bring on Vietnam next week! Will the Race end at the MCG or someplace else?

My guess is that because it started in Melbourne so it should end in Sydney, im putting my money on the steps of the Opera House.

It ends in Perth apparently.

^^ Really? cool!

Typical of Australia though to not represent an Asian or gay couple -whereas the US show usually always has more diverse couples.

Yes but then everyone would say it was a token gesture so they're screwed either way.

It was typical however. The rednecks are from Queensland. Struth!!! and the ethincs are from Melbourne.

Lucky they didn't take some of those Victorian rednecks, they'd probably go on a killing spree if the show goes to India.

Anyways, next weeks show is in Hong Kong! Nice. :cheers:

The teams suck in this show, apart from the big W ladies.

Yay, Hong Kong next week!

^^ Totally agree. I can't stand the contestants and actually may put me off watching any more episodes. Tonight I found the rudeness and abruptness shocking. No respect for cultural differences at all.
Exceptions were Big W ladies, brother/sister who were last and perhaps the dad/son.

Anne-Marie & Tracy (BIG W ladies) cannot stop laughing, watching them do challenges and whatnot is definitely a highlight of the debut aussie series.

Anastasia & Chris (dating) are rude to each other, other cultures and other contestants. hope they end up last place next week.

The entrepreneur couple are the most annoying pair on there though. Focus, achieve, believe... WTF :nuts:

The big W ladies and the surfers are my favorites

Don't you just want to punch their lights out? :ohno:

Why do almost all of them speak like retards when they are talking to Asians?

I wanna punch the living daylights outta them too!

Aww the big W ladies got kicked off =(

fuck, who wants to punch that joey chick in the face?

^ It was pretty weak of them, Like they had 4 hrs to do that challenge.

fuck, who wants to punch that joey chick in the face?

God I hate that loser bitch!

"I feel cleansed" my arse!
She could have a hairy back, but no clippers could 'cleanse' her body from the evil within. Obviously I find that couple vile.
I loved the fat women and the two Mo's were so nice in their reaction.

Damn the Woolies ladies were the only ones I liked :(

Anastasia & Chris (dating) are rude to each other, other cultures and other contestants. hope they end up last place next week.

Huh? In what way are they rude to other cultures and contestants? Have you not seen the entrepreneurs?
Chris is a dick to his GF but apart from that I don't recall them being rude to the others...

where's hong kong? is that in singapore?

I find the entrepreneurs the most annoying couple..

Aww the big W ladies got kicked off =(

Devstating. :(

where's hong kong? is that in singapore?

Saw that :lol:

That idiot joey woman is even more annoying with a shaved head btw. :bash:

I find the entrepreneurs the most annoying couple..

Are they the pricks with "ask believe receive" or some shit written on their shirts?

I've never been more certain that someone was on a reality show to kick start their shitty home business than I have been of those two.

Absolutely spot on :applause:

That "entrepreneur" couple are appalling, and its awful to think they came in first after shafting the sisters for helping them the week before.:ohno:

Joey is surely the vilest creature ever to appear on our TV screens - can't believe how riled she makes me!
Let's hope they get kicked off as a result of their broken 4WD - hinted at in the trailer for next week's ep? The rest of the teams seem like nice people.

Guess the Big W ladies didn't have their hearts in it (in spite of being tired out), as they had 4 hrs to work out the right combination of lanterns. A shame that they're out.

yeah I would of managed to work everything out in 4 hours with the lanterns...

yeah I would of managed to work everything out in 4 hours with the lanterns...

Yea, there was more than enough time for those Big W ladies to work it out even if they had gone for a quick dinner break or something at a nearby mall for about an hour or so before finishing off the puzzle.

Perhaps they misunderstood or forgot the rules, ie. they didn't know that Mo and Mos had the 4 hour penalty.

Are they the pricks with "ask believe receive" or some shit written on their shirts?

I've never been more certain that someone was on a reality show to kick start their shitty home business than I have been of those two.

Yeah, they had crush it on their shirts last night. Fucken annoying twits. :bash:

Mo and Mos race in slow-mo
Karl Quinn
June 1, 2011

Melbourne mates Mo and Mos might not win the Amazing Race but they are winning fans.

COULD Mo and Mos be the least likely reality TV stars ever? Chubby, slow and still in the show only by the skin of their collective teeth, Mohammed El-leissy (Mo) and Mostafa Haroun (Mos) are the Muslim mates from Melbourne who have entrenched themselves (alongside the now-departed Big W ladies) as firm fan favourites on The Amazing Race Australia, Seven's local adaptation of the long-running US series.

Three episodes in and they have already come so close to elimination so many times that no one gives them much chance of winning the series, but there's no denying they've won viewers over. And that, says Mo, is victory enough.

''Up until now the media's engagement with Muslims has been a little tokenistic,'' says the 26-year-old social worker from Brunswick. ''They try to do good stories, but it's all, 'Oh look, it's the hijab in football colours.' They've been trying to push a really positive message, which is great, but for us on the receiving end, it's a bit like, 'Oh look, they're human.' ''
Advertisement: Story continues below

The Amazing Race is different, he says, despite the fact early publicity played up the challenges of the boys, both practising Muslims, having to stop to pray five times a day. ''With us, they've put our humanity before our faith,'' he says. ''We've reached a new audience on Channel Seven that never get to see a positive story about Muslims.''

Not that they're keen to see themselves as role models. ''If I was ever to be a role model, it would be for 'eat more food','' jokes Mos, who works part-time in the gift shop at Melbourne Zoo.

''We'd be role models for obesity,'' chips in Mo. '' 'Eat more doughnuts - but make sure they're halal'.''

The boys have developed a fine line in self-deprecating humour and have vague ambitions to spin that into a media career. They've been working on a demo of a radio show that they hope to shop around and have been working up short videos for YouTube in which they share their insights into just-aired episodes of the series (details of coming episodes are, of course, strictly off limits under the terms of their confidentiality agreements with Seven).

It's not that either of them is desperate for a showbiz career, just that they're up for whatever comes next. After all, that's what took them to the show in the first place.

Mos had just started a new job when he got a call at 2am from his mate Mo asking if he'd do a video audition; Mo had made it to the last stage of auditions but the mate he'd got there with had bailed at the last minute.

''To be honest, he was about the eighth person I called,'' says Mo.

Undeterred, Mos jumped at the chance and filed his audition an hour later. The next morning, he was at the production office for an in-the-flesh audition. A week later, he and Mo were off and running. Well, make that off and walking a little bit faster than usual. ''We don't run anywhere,'' says Mos. ''I went to the gym … once,'' says Mo.

In fact, Mos has a master's in sports business, but has never had the opportunity to put it into practice in the workplace. How come?

''No one seems to like my name when I apply,'' he says, suggesting that while the reality TV world has embraced him and his faith, the real world remains a little more of a challenge. ''I can't get my foot in the door, get that interview, even though I am qualified. And when I do get interviews, people are surprised I speak with an Australian accent.''

''It's very Anglo,'' says Mo of the world of sport. ''Matey.''

''I can be matey,'' says Mos. ''I can go to the pub and drink water.''

Right now, there's a fair chunk of Australia that'd be willing to shout him a glass, too.

The Amazing Race Australia is on Seven on Monday at 8.30pm.

That would be such an easy 'challenge' for me. I can do it within 1 min. LOL :lol:

^ It was pretty weak of them, Like they had 4 hrs to do that challenge.

So just to summarise that insightful Age article:

role models for obesity? just what we need.

Nasty - they're normal guys and seem really nice, so quit slagging them off so spitefully for their weight.

I like Mo & Mos, funny guys.

he himself said it, buddy. I personally don't have a problem with people who are overweight or obese... more often than not, they're nicer than skinny people.

Computer says no

I was shattered that the Big W ladies got eliminated :(

Saw the ad for next weeks show yesterday, gonna be good..... They're going to South Africa and the annoying couple get their car bogged up to the axles in mud. It showed them trying to get out & everyone going past them laughing. Suck shit. :lol:

Are they the pricks with "ask believe receive" or some shit written on their shirts?

I've never been more certain that someone was on a reality show to kick start their shitty home business than I have been of those two.

Lol..so true!! We'll see them on the infomercials soon..

I felt like throwing them hammers at Richard and Joey grrr!!!

YES!!!

Probably the highlight of the show once they got out!

Karma is a bitch! :lol:

Though now I have no one left to whinge about.

^^ Indeed, how fantastic. Would have hated to have seen such characters as these two succeed in this show.

Guess the Greek couple are our next VFTW candidates, if he really does keep screaming at his "I'm a female therefore I kowtow to my caveman" partner?

The entrepreneurs were on Sunrise this morning wearing those stupid shirts. Also managed to get in a plug about their personal training website :ohno:

I felt so sorry for those poor goats. But it was really nice how when the Dad & Son team found out their goat was pregnant, they decided to carry her.

I like TAR and have watched many editions. This is what I think, so far, about TAR - Australia in comparison to TAR (US):

- the financial prizes for winners of each leg are quite more relevant if compared to the average leg prize on US edition (a trip to some 3* resort in or not far from US). If they keep the pace, there will be more $$ for grabs on leg prizes than the final prize itself

- they selected some teams (the clerk ladies and the Muslim brothers) who are just not fit for racing. While US edition had older couples, and some not-so-fit folks, these 2 pairs are way off standard. I also didn't like either the PR-show of "look, we are Muslims and proud of it" TAR showed in the first episode neither the goofy background music showing them in action or lack thereof.

- the Australian cowboys are sub-par compared to the American cowboys (Jeff and Cod)

- apparently, a same very annoying repetitive take is repeated over and over in both editions (US and Australia): pointless takes of teams urging their drivers to pass other taxis carrying other team. Seriously, I can't stand the 523th identical scene of someone yelling "hurry, hurry, it's a race".

The south Africa episode was good, And of course the farmers would have succeeded. I'm really looking forward to seeing them cope somewhere like london.

Love the show....
Hate the farmers, I can't understand what they're saying.....
Love the Muslim guys....

Yeah I think Chris & Anastasia are my next pick to go. She's okay, but he's an absolute prick to her.
Love the show....
Hate the farmers, I can't understand what they're saying.....
Love the Muslim guys....
The farmers are okay. The guy with the black hat is a real dope though. :lol: But they were nice enough to not U turn anybody whilst in the lead.

Next week looks like they'll be in Cape Town. I didn't think a trip to South Africa would be complete without going there.

apparently, a same very annoying repetitive take is repeated over and over in both editions (US and Australia)

They apparently seem to have been taken from The Amazing Race: Asia. I've never seen an episode of TARA, but TARA doesn't seem to venture beyond eastern Europe, so maybe they'll switch up to some previous US challenges, or devise new ones.

pointless takes of teams urging their drivers to pass other taxis carrying other team. Seriously, I can't stand the 523th identical scene of someone yelling "hurry, hurry, it's a race".

But that's inherent to the format. It doesn't matter who devices the challenges, any driving or taxiing will elicit the same sort of reactions.

^^ It would be interesting to see them venturing in Canada and US for some challenges on the mid of the competition, as in TAR (US) they are on North America only for the 1st or last lag of the race.

I guess the reason by which TAR Asia didn't get beyond Europe has to do with extreme difficult to get visas to UK and US for certain nationalities.

Mo & Mos gawwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn! Thought they'd be the next to go. Did anyone see Chris' big dummy spit on tonight's show? :lol:

Damn missed the show, anyone know when they'll repeat tonight's episode this week?

^^ You can watch them online, but I think they're usually on one of the 7 channels around midday on the weekend.

Bit sad to see Mo & Mos go, but Im so surprised how they made it so far.

I honestly thought that Chris & Anastasia would loose after their fight (& her not helping, loosing their keys and then Anastasia's stacking the 4 wheeler.

My favourite part of the show was when Mo got pushed out of the plane!

Chris & Anastasia were on Sunrise this morning. He was very apologetic about his treatment of her.

Also, he did a live chat on the Herald Sun website today. There were som interesting questions... :lol:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/tv-radio/live-chat-with-amazing-race-australia-most-hated-entrant-chris/story-e6frf9ho-1226074860660

Assuming we could bet on the winner through TAB, the odds after this week would be something like:

Nathan & Tyler: $1.60
The Cowboys: $1.90
Dad & Son: $2.10
Hot Blondes: $6.50
Chris & Anastasia: $10.35
Old Bikies: $25.00
The Sisters: $65.00

----------------------------------------

Chris having another dummy spit: $1.01:lol:

How demeaning to women was Chris?

u8soExX9dp4

Chris having another dummy spit: $1.01

I think those are really generous odds.

Not sure there is anyone likeable left. The US series usually ensures they have a few likeable teams at least.

I don't mind the surfy dudes, they seem like pretty cruisey sorta guys.

Can't believe how much I want to go to Prague now...

Can't believe how much I want to go to Prague now...

I've heard very good things about Prague actually. Supposedly got a great nightlife too. :cheers:

I don't mind the surfy dudes, they seem like pretty cruisey sorta guys.

Yeah they seem to be the best team. I think i'd prefer them to win it.

My impressions so far:

The father and son need to quit with the sentimental crap, what a couple of soft cocks.
The cowboys are try hard texans and their hats suck. Somebody get them a speech therapist?
Seems like the Greek(?) dude has some anger problems. His girl is ok.
The bogan dude is irritating for too many reasons and his wife is a bit of a space cadet.
Shame about the muslim guys. They seemed ok, just physically not up to scratch.
The blondes are bitchy… strong team though. They were unlucky on the last two shows imo.
The sisters are just are idiots, especially the ranga one. No surprise they lost really.

It's amusing… i think i prefer the American version though. I'd like to see an amazing race or survivor with international competitors (who can speak english).

The father and son need to quit with the sentimental crap, what a couple of soft cocks. - agree, they're soft cocks, but still a good chance
The cowboys are try hard texans and their hats suck. Somebody get them a speech therapist? - i like these guys, if you've been in the country these guys are pretty typical of country guys.

For me it's between the surfy dudes, the cowboys and father/son. The others are all pretty crap.

For me it's between the surfy dudes, the cowboys and father/son. The others are all pretty crap.

Well, the surfers and the father/son teams are on the final. Plus the top model cheekz.

I assumed it was the surfy dudes (who need haircuts) that win? Given all that kerfuffle in the papers several weeks ago now about it being leaked.

I have a definite crush on Luke (father/son team) I must confess!

well i'm still working with one of girls so guessing they didnt win.

can some1 record this in HD tonight? looks like some really good perth shots
