The race started today at the MCG.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Grant Bowler confirmed as host. He ain't Phil, but he's an excellent "second" choice.

Thank god it wasn't Tom Williams.

According to TV Tonight they are in Bali at the moment. I am looking forward to this series.

 

[Plugger35]

Wow, Seven are really lashing out on the budget sending them to Bali.

What's the bet the next countries are PNG, Fiji and NZ?

The way Qantas is going at the moment, it may be Jetstar short hops or nothing

Grant Bowler!

Best decision!

 

[Cousin Jed]

Wonder if there will be a mole..

The race has been run......and run.. but who wins...---< I don't know <---

The crew are ..exhausted is one word to describe their current state.










The answer will be revealed sometime in 2011.

If they go to New Zealand, the local HAS to be Phil.

I didn't even realise Phil was a Kiwi until I saw him interviewed a couple of years ago. No way you could pick it from his accent.

I doubt he would stoop to being involved in the Australian Amazing Race anyway.

No air date yet but the newest series of the Amazing Race US (I think it is 18?) will be shown 2 days after it is shown in the US on 7mate.

Oh god...

Also, where are the token gays!? And the token blacks!? Channel 7 are doing it wrong.

Some No-name is going to be hosting The Australian Amazing Race

Shame It can't be Phil.

Also I read on Wikipedia that the end prize money would be $250,000 instead of $1M

Thou shalt not question Grant Bowler. He hosted The Mole. He'll be awesome.

 

[Selective Retention]

Yeah Bowler was a gun on the mole. It's hard to say how he will go with the amazing race. Hopefully he doesn't come across too much as poor man's Phil, he's a pretty similar character.

I get the feeling you will complain about the entire series and how it is not exactly like the American Amazing Race.

The Australian production will not have the same $$ and I don't think anyone would have expected the prize to be $1 million. In fact, to have that experience I am sure most people would do it for nothing.

Cannot wait for it to start and hoping it turns out to be a good series.

Maybe so.

Yeah that's what I don't want happening

I am not for one minute complaining about our version of the Amazing Race. I am just fearing that it will be just like our version of Survivor that's all. I am also in anticipation of this series, however I do not want it to be a failure or a once-of.

Heh Ryot and Liberty. What were their parents smoking? I guess Ryot's the brother and Liberty is the sister.

 

[scottywiper]

Dave and Kell are mates of mine...going to be very interesting see how they are portrayed.
He is a full-on character, who calls a spade a bloody shovel and always says what he thinks. Always.
Can easily see him being the bad guy of the series.
Should be entertaining to watch.

 

[lemon chicken]

Is this going on 7mate or the main channel?

 

[Puddy]

Good to see Wolfgang West again

 

[that_dood]

Probably the main channel at 7:30pm on Wednesdays.

That is why they have moved the US series on 7mate to 7:30pm Wednesday to get the audience ready.
