Seven’s highly-anticipated local series of The Amazing Race will air premiere next week at 8:30pm Monday night.

In the premiere episode, meet the 11 teams who are about to depart on the adventure of a lifetime. Starting at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, they will cover more than 50,000km, 4 continents, 12 countries and 23 cities, and along the way, they’ll confront fears, experience new cultures and make lifelong friends. Who will have the right combination of strategy, strength, skill and teamwork to win the $250,000 prize?

This one is faithfully produced guys (see Review). If you enjoy the US version -and who doesn’t?- you’ll get right into this one.

This is a 90 minute premiere, pushing Brothers and Sisters back to 10pm.

Bring it on….

  1. in the past they put this up against Nine’s footy show but I am pleased they have done the right thing and put TAR on against non bogan opposition this time around.

  2. Glad that it didn’t go Wednesdays. That night has enough viewing to worry about with MasterChef, AGT, Spicks and Specks, Angry Boys and Hungry Beast whereas Monday is only going to have MasterChef, Amazing Race and Offspring.

  3. @Andrew_81. And what’s wrong with that? beautiful people are still human. There is a difference between a diverse cast and an ugly cast.

  4. $250,000 ?
    cheapskates couldn’t even offer $1 million like the US
    in fact, our dollar is better than parity so the prize should have been $1 million US….

  5. Heaps good! Can’t wait!! Liking the 8:30 timeslot – can watch it straight after masterchef 😀 – it’s much nicer when my favourite shows don’t clash!!

  6. Now this is a ratings competition!!

    Ch 7’s “TAR Australia” vs. Ch 9’s “CSI s12” vs Ch 10’s “Offspring s2” vs. Ch 11’s “Supernatural s6”.

    I hope that Ch 7 is planning to encore screenings days later, like 7 encores eps of the American version (7TWO on Wednesday & replayed on Ch 7 Sunday morning).

  7. I wonder where Downton Abbey will go? Maybe they’ll bump Criminal Minds to 9:30 Wednesdays, they’ve done it before and it still pulled 1 mill every wk

  8. Theres an article in this weeks TV Week with all the contestants. As usual there is about 4 model teams and not one fully black or Asian person lol

  9. That’s going to hurt Offspring’s initial airing, I’d imagine. TAR is far more Twitter/Watercooler friendly, Offspring is easily PVR material.

  10. I’m really surprised that Seven didn’t put it in a 7:30pm slot (Thursdays maybe?) given that it is a local version (and I assume has a PG classification like the US series). Or is that the Masterchef effect?
