The Amazing Race Australia 4 is the fourth season of The Amazing Race Australia , an Australian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race . This season was the first to air on Network 10 after moving from Seven Network and was hosted by former rugby league footballer Beau Ryan, who replaced Grant Bowler. It featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the Eastern Hemisphere to win the grand prize of A$250,000 during twelve legs. [3] This season visited three continents and eight countries and travelled over 45,000 kilometres (28,000 mi). Starting in Seoul, racers travelled through South Korea, Vietnam, Mongolia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Thailand before returning to Australia and finishing in Nitmiluk National Park. A new twist introduced in this season was an international start. The season premiered on Monday, 28 October 2019, with the show airing on Mondays and Tuesdays in the 7:30 p.m. timeslot on Network 10, and concluded on 3 December 2019. [4]
Newlyweds Tim and Rod Sattler-Jones were the winners of this season, while married Aboriginal couple Jasmin Onus and Jerome Cubillo finished in second place and siblings Viv and Joey Dinh finished in third place.
In May 2019, rumours circulated that The Amazing Race Australia would return after five years when casting opened for an "Adventure Travel Competition" to be produced by Eureka Productions that was "looking for personality-packed teams of two to take part in a competitive reality travel series full of great prizes to be won!" [5] On 29 May 2019, Beverley McGarvey, the chief content officer of Network 10, announced that the network was in the process of acquiring two franchises that would air at the end of the year saying, "We are doing The Masked Singer , which is different, a bit crazy and a proper original. The other thing, a franchise I can't talk about yet, will be huge for us too. We are finalising the contract at present," and described the second franchise they were acquiring as "a bit more familiar." [6]
The next day, TV Blackbox reported that CBS Studios International had bought the rights to the Australian franchise of The Amazing Race with the series set to air in the final quarter of 2019. [7] On 27 June, Network 10 officially announced that it would be reviving The Amazing Race Australia with Beverley McGarvey announcing that a new series was set to air in late 2019 and that Beau Ryan would be serving as the new host. [8]
The racecourse for this season travelled to eight countries across three continents (Asia, Africa and Oceania), racing 45,000 km in total. [9] [10] [11] [12] The season started outside of Australia at Seoul Plaza in Seoul, South Korea, making it the first time for the Australian series where the starting line was not located in the show's host country. [13] This season also included first-time visits to South Korea, Mongolia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
Applications for the fourth season opened in May 2019 and were open to permanent residents and citizens from Australia and New Zealand, who were at least 18 years old. Applications for the 2019 edition were originally set to close on 31 May 2019 but were extended to 7 July 2019. [5]
On 3 September, during an episode of Australian Survivor , it was first revealed that The Amazing Race Australia would begin airing in October. The premiere date was later announced on 7 October after cast announcements began to be 28 October 2019. [4]
