This is it! The final episode, airs 8:30pm till 10pm 9pm till 10:30pm on Monday, 1 August. Here are the TV guide details:

It's a race to the finish line when The Amazing Race Australia returns home for the winners to be crowned tonight. In Singapore, the teams seek their race riches from a local fortune teller; while a 55 storey tight-rope crossing Detour tests their nerves. Back in Australia, they search Fremantle Prison for their next clue. But the final challenge brings them all unstuck as they struggle to remember the highlights of their epic journey. Only one team will persevere to get to the finish line first and take home the $250,000 prize. Hosted by GRANT BOWLER, LUKE, JEFF, MATT NUNN, TOM WARRINER, TYLER ATKINS, NATHAN JOLLIFFE, SAM SCHOERS and RENAE WAUHOP.

Wow! The finish already! I'm not sure which team I really want to win. I prefer Sam and Renae over the others, but I would not mind if either of the other two won.

Good luck to all three! :)

averages as of episode 10:

Tyler & Nathan    2.40 
Matt & Tom     3.20                                                       
Jeff & Luke     3.20                         
6th Anastasia & Chris      4.50   
5th Dave & Kelly      4.55 
                   
Sam & Renae    4.60                                                     
7th Alana & Mel     6.66                               
11th Ryot & Liberty    7.00                             
9th Richard & Joey     7.25                       
8th Mo & Mos     8.60   
10th Anne-Marie & Tracy   8.66 


Sam and Renae had the lowest average placement at the beginning of leg 11, and I think they were lucky to make it this far.  They won legs 1 and 11, but have had many close calls in between.  I wouldn't mind seeing them win though.

Can't wait for the final! :wohoo:

FYI, The Amazing Race Australia finale has been pushed back to 9pm next Monday to avoid a clash with the Masterchef finale on a rival channel. It will be a 1.5 hour show.

whether they're in front or not, I'm just glad we have a finish mat, I still don't understand why TARA used a regular pitstop mat, well it's a cheap production so maybe they can't afford a real finish mat? or they just think we won't know the difference, TARA takes it's audience for granted.

Bring on the 21!

this is the second time (first being TAR12) that every team in the final three is likeable and I won't mind seeing any of them win.

just to make sure of my statement. final 3 teams I didn't like (seasons I've watched)
(winners are in green)
Season 3: Teri and Ian (mostly Ian)
Season 5: Colin and Christie (they're still awesome though, but not likeable)
Season 6: Freddy and Kendra (inconsiderate racist b*tch)
Season 7: Ron and Kelly (STFU Ron, we know you're POW, nobody gives a crap)
Season 9: Eric and Jeremy (pimps)
Season 10: Ron and Kimberly (god...) Lyn and Karlyn (b*tches)
Season 11: Eric and Danielle (two terrible persons)
Season 13: Nick and Starr (Blander than sunflower seeds)
Season 14: Jaime and Cara (Xenophobics)
Season 15: Sam and Dan (As bad as Lynn and Alex)
Season 16: Dan and Jordan (most undeserving whiny team EVAR)
Season 17: Jill and Thomas (excruciating to watch)
Season 18: Flight Time and Big Easy (Ignorant, Pompous, Mean, Unfunny, Annoying, Self-centered and they U-turned the Cowboys)
Asia 1: Sandy and Francesca (should have been gone the first leg)
Asia 2: Marc and Rovilson (Waaayy to dominant and not very funny)
Asia 3: Geoff and Tisha (absolutly irritating, particularly Geoff)
Asia 4: Richard and Richard (Selfish meatheads)
Bring on the 21!

I cheered when I saw that. That's what been bothering me the most about the Latin America version. As exciting as TAR_LA S2  was resolved by a footrace to the finish line, it felt somewhat tasteless without the other teams on the mat.

Loving that we get a two location finale like older seasons of TAR had.

It doesn't even matter what they do in Singapore.

But if you want to know. They definitely went to the Marina Bay Sands, The Youth Olympic Park, which is near the Marina Bay Sands and of course.. The Singapore Flyer.. which is near to the Youth Olympic Park and Marina Bay Sands. :res:

So I guess either they go for durians first then go to Youth Olympic Park > Marina Bay Sands (ropes task) > Singapore Flyer (receive clue back to Australia)

:D :jam:

I stand corrected. Yes. its not the finale, but finals week. I guess the ratings for Ten will be near 2 million all week so I don't think Seven wanted to risk any overlap of the shows.

It's said that in the history of TAR the team in which there is a member named Tyler would always win in the finale.

It's said that no parent-child team could win in the finale.

It's also said that any team that gets the Express Pass would be No.3 in the finale.

So now we know the possible result of the next episode. :lol:

Well, I hope that the "curse" will be broken now.

Even that I don't mind seeing any of them win, I really want the "curses" will be gone forever. :tup:

Yeah, I hope that it's going to be like the first season of TAR Asia, where one of the curse was broken (F/F team never win the race)... :tup:

So, I really want the "Parent/Child team never win the race" curse will be broken this time... :tup:

You know what I mean.. :lol:
