Season chronology |
The Amazing Race Australia 6 (also promoted as The Amazing Race: Around the World [1] ) is the sixth season of The Amazing Race Australia , an Australian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race and the third instalment of Network 10's iteration of the show. The season featured twenty teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world to win the grand prize of A$250,000 and two new cars (an Isuzu D-MAX and an Isuzu MU-X). [2] Beau Ryan returned as the regular host, with presenter Scott Tweedie guest hosting for episodes 8–11 after Ryan caught COVID-19 during filming. After the previous season was set in Australia due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this season returned to the standard travel format, visited six continents and seven countries and travelled over 55,000 kilometres (34,000 mi) during twenty-one legs. Starting in Melbourne and Sydney, racers travelled through Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Colombia, Belize, Mexico before returning to Australia, travelling through Western Australia and finishing in Broome. New twists introduced in this season include a split-city start, a no-switch Detour and an elimination during a no-rest leg. The season premiered on 29 August 2022, [3] with the finale airing on 9 October 2022.
Married couple Heath Curry & Toni Hilland were the winners of this season, while church friends Angel Williams and Frankie Vaaua finished in second place and newlywed teachers Kelly and Georgia Baildon finished in third place.
On 20 October 2021, Network 10 announced at upfronts that a new season was set to air in the second half of 2022. [4] [5] [6]
Unlike the previous season, which filmed solely in Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions, Beverley McGarvey, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer of Paramount Global Australia and New Zealand, stated that she intended for the show to resume travelling internationally again after the American version resumed international travel for their 33rd season in September 2021. [7] On 2 February 2022, Daniel Monaghan, 10's Head of Programming, reaffirmed that the show would still be filming internationally as the Omicron surge began to subside. [8]
Filming for the season began in March 2022. This season introduced a new twist involving two groups of ten teams starting The Amazing Race Australia separately, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne, each oblivious to the existence of the other, and racing separately before converging in the next leg. [2] On 5 March 2022, Beau Ryan was spotted in Chefchaouen, Morocco. [9] On 20 March, TV Blackbox reported that a few crew members had tested positive for COVID-19 requiring some of the crew, including Ryan, to self-isolate in hotels while the rest of the crew continued filming. From the eighth to eleventh legs, Scott Tweedie was brought in to temporarily replace Ryan as host. [10] According to TV Tonight, Tweedie was contacted prior to the season to potentially step in as host as part of the production's COVID-safe contingency plan. [11] The show then travelled to İzmir and Alaçatı. [12] Filming wrapped in April 2022. [13] In addition to Morocco, this season included first-time visits to Greece, Colombia, Belize and Mexico.
The Speed Bump, which was not in the previous season, was brought back into this season for teams that returned after self-isolating due to COVID-19.
Casting for the season began in early November 2021. Contestants were required to be fully vaccinated with filming expected to occur from February 2022 over four to seven weeks. [14]
Isuzu, UBank, Kathmandu and Merrell served as sponsors for this season. [15]
The cast was revealed on 22 August 2022. [16]
