Is there a celeb version coming up? Em Rusciano mentioned on her podcast this week she was asked to compete with her husband Scott.
Great way to stick the final nail to the coffin if it’s true.

Sad thing is, they’d be thinking it’ll do the opposite 
The Amazing Race China (four seasons from 2014 to 2017) involved at least one celebrity in each team.
Yeah and that didn’t even last as long as the Australian version.
The Chinese TV landscape is also a very different one compared to Australia (Ala the amount of cross-promotion and product placement they allow puts The Block to shame).
Fantastic news for such an awesome, strong couple.

Sunday Herald Sun’s Fiona Byrne mentioned briefly in her column today that there would be a celebrity version this year.
From 10:
This year, the biggest race around the world is heading in a new direction in an exciting new series, The Amazing Race Australia Celebrity Edition. They say travel is the ultimate test of any relationship, and for the celebrities joining us this season, it will be no ordinary challenge. Our celebrities and their race partner will be met at the starting line by our larrikin host Beau Ryan, who will be sure to throw twists and turns their way as they race across the globe. From culture shock, meagre budgets and the pressure of a non-stop race, our star racers will be tested in ways we’ve never seen before.

Well that’s the nail in the coffin for the show. Nobody wants a celeb version.

Even more reason not to watch.

I’ll still watch but I don’t think he’s a great advert for the season. He can be quite funny but it’s more likely that he’ll be a disaster on the show…which could be quite funny in itself.
Looks like he won’t be on this series.

That is a great line-up.
Jana Pittman posted on Instagram this week that she spotted her new book at the newsagent at Sydney Airport. So it seems she was flying out for the celebrity edition.

So they are announcing the cast before it’s filmed? Odd.
I had a feeling that either this or The Traitors having celebs was a reason to bring George back on something. Ugh.
My initial thought was the opposite.
I think it’s an OK lineup. Going them though most teams (at least 9 of them) have someone that’s either been on I’m A Celeb before and/or another reality show in the past couple years.

Having him in the cast is a turn off for me.
I think the celebrity concept is pointless in this type of show. And in most cases it’s a celebrity with non-celebrity family member.
