Airdate: Australia’s Best Competition Competition

Australia is blessed with some of the world’s weirdest competitions. Every town you visit has a race or toss or bake-off that couldn’t exist anywhere else.

We love a competition, but which competition is Australia’s best competition?

triple j’s Lewis Hobba and Michael Hing set out to answer this in Australia’s Best Competition Competition.

The journey takes the duo to every corner of the country, taking part in this country’s weirdest, wildest, and sometimes oiliest competitions. From Australian classics like wood chopping and the Archibald Prize, to the speed of street racing, the Turkish oil wrestling and more!

“For us, entering these competitions resulted in one broken leg and a lot of broken dreams. This show truly highlights the best of Australia and the worst of our hand-eye coordination”, said Hobba and Hing. “We hope this inspires people to go to new places and try new things, but if not, we hope everyone enjoys watching grown men fall over and hurt themselves.”

In this one-hour TV special, Hobba and Hing score each competition they enter using their own patented rating system and present their findings to a live studio audience as well as representatives from each competition.

Thursday October 27 at 8.30pm on ABC.
