The Amazing Race

Not by Australian standards.

Seven has had Australian Gangster sitting on the shelf for two years due to legal reasons. They also have that new Bevan Lee drama Between Two Worlds. It was completed and meant to air last year but Seven has held it back because their schedule is bursting with so many top rating, quality productions. The return of Changing Rooms has been hotly anticipated by certain people here yet Ten is still holding onto the remaining episodes more than a year after they started the series.

CBS has announced its fall schedule which includes TAR.

CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl said:

If we get back into production (on The Amazing Race), you can trust that we have plotted out all of the safe and smart ways of doing it. Some countries are more affected than others and these producers are some of the best in the business and they will plot out a race that sticks to countries that are safe.

Who knows, maybe they’ll head to New Zealand and Australia, seeing as we probably seem to be ā€˜safer’ than some other countries.

Hopefully if they come to Australia they won’t need to use subtitles again…!

I wonder if Australia or NZ would allow that?

Absolutely, it has been a while since the American version has visited Australia.

Two week quarantine, paid for by the production company/network. I reckon that should be the first avenue to opening the country then can move up from there.

Has the US version ever gone to Canada? I was thinking about it yesterday but I can’t recall them ever going there.

It will be interesting to see if the new season gets a prime timeslot or relegated to late night when it airs here, on a multichannel of course.

Depends a lot on whether Seven want to continue to hold the rights to the show. I can’t see it being worth it just to schedule in a 11pm timeslot.

It will probably be the later. I don’t mind where it is but if we get it within a week or two of the US I’ll be happy. It’s been so long since we’ve had an Amazing Race season I’m super keen for it.

Now after we’ve seen this season we need Ch9 to pick up Race Across the World. Then I’ll be happy!

A bit hard to do that for the forseeable future with all the travel restrictions etc.

Sorry, I was meaning the overseas version. It’s already been screened in the UK and was an awesome alternative to TAR.

Ah sorry didn’t catch that. If last year’s anything to go by it will probably air on Nine again soon which will be nice to see.

You can watch them easily on YouTube for free.

Season 2 of Race Across the World is one of the better seasons of a reality show I have watched in a while. Nine definitely should air it.
