Returning: The Amazing Race

Good news for Amazing Race fans with a double-episode to be fast-tracked to Seven next week.

Amazing Race fans who have been asking about the new series can breathe a sigh of relief.

The new series starts in the US today and will premiere on Seven at 9:30pm on Thursday October 6th.

Seven will begin with a double episode to bring us up to date.

That will see new episodes broadcast 4 days after the US.

This means both Amazing Race and Survivor, which starts tomorrow night on Nine, are now being fast-tracked to Aussie audiences.

  1. @David Knox , i remember that , maybe you can let us know what the ratings were for it when it showed on 7mate last time please david as a curiosity factor.Be it in HD or SD as debated here , it wont change until end of 2013 and by then i guess theyll change from MPEG2 to MPEG4 for more bandwidth.In theory this may alllow more than 1 HD channel so who knows we may get lucky and have the primary channels back and a few others too.

  2. Great news! I too don’t understand why people are whinging. It’s on, its being fast-tracked, it’s on Seven so everyone can watch it, what more do you want? Was it even shown in HD when it was on 7mate earlier in the year? Gosh, be happy people!

  3. Come on people! it’s no real big deal that it won’t be in HD, at least we are getting it fast tracked so we won’t be months & months behind the US. It’s not like that there are that many shows that can be seen in HD on free to air in Australia at the moment anyway. The last season it was on 7mate & because viewers living in Regional SA don’t have the extra digital multi channels yet (they are coming on November the 11th), I had to wait for the replay on the main Seven Channel on Sunday mornings.

  4. It’s good to see that the networks are listening! I don’t care what time it is on, or if it is in HD! It just means I don’t have to download it and I am more than prepared to watch it on TV as long as it’s not delayed by weeks.

  5. Yay! Great to have it back. But its a pity they don’t have it on earlier. More like 730pm. Also wouldn’t mind if they could repeat it on 7mate on a Sunday afternoon.

    Despite my whinging I am really excited to have The Amazing Race back. Love the show and look forward to watching it.
