The future for The Amazing Race Australia is unclear following Seven’s 2013 Programming launch in Sydney on Tuesday.
The show didn’t rate a mention in Seven’s Press Release despite the fact it has attracted a solid fanbase in just two seasons.
Sources tell TV Tonight that whilst Seven called for Auditions for a third series in August, so far it hasn’t locked onto a third season.
That’s despite solid reviews and a nomination for an International Emmy Award. The first season also attracted strong ratings, but the second suffered from multiple timeslots and a hiatus during the Olympics.
Applications close on October 30 with filming usually taking place in November / December.
The activeTV series, hosted by Grant Bowler, is every bit as good as the US version, so fingers crossed it wins a third season.
Seven did not respond to enquiries.
and Australia’s Got Talent disbite getting a mention at the Press Release is still not 100% confermed for a season next year. If TARAU is going down then I hope it takes AGT down too (Its because of this (bleep) that TARAU had a bad rattings for the first few episodes and brought the average down).
Deal or No Deal , Beauty and the Geek, Please Marry My Boy, Dinner Date, RSPCA Animal Rescue
Lets all collectively pray the show comes back! They bring interesting destinations in Cuba ad Israel
We need to start a petition to keep the show alive.Yes
Stripping a leg over two nights doesn't increase the revenue, it just makes half the episodes anticlimaxes.Well thats not too bad. There might be no TARAU til 2014 but at least there still be TARAU.
I'm hearing it's about 90% certain Seven plan on doing The Mole and TAR Australia in alternating years, with Grant hosting both. Which would mean no race until 2014.

Do you have a link/source where you heard that please? It sounds interesting.
I have behind-the-scenes sources.

Let's end the source discussion please. :tup:Peach is right. Its getting depressing
Can't another channel take it on? Surely the makers would want it on every year, not alternating.
Can't another channel take it on? Surely the makers would want it on every year, not alternating.
None of the main networks can't do anything because 7 airs TARUS and they have exlusive rights to produce TARAU. So unless 9 or 10 can find a loophole (like how 7 did celbrearty survivor) they are no use to us.
There is a slim probably unlikely chance that fox 8 (on foxtel or what you in the US call cable) could produce TAR AU as have pay tv rights over the show (I deffiatily saw the HK TAR 17 ep)but again don't count on it.

7. The Amazing Race Australia (Seven)The only realty show that ranked higher was The Voice (Ranked 6th and is over rated, airs on Nine). Top on the list was Homeland (airs on TEN)
ASIDE from laconic host Grant Bowler, the key element that makes The Amazing Race Australia so much fun to watch is the excellent casting. This year, producers again mixed together a compelling group of heroes and villains. This year's cast boasted identical twins (both rugby league cheerleaders and devotees of peroxide and orange-skin tanning), indigenous Australian cousins, a pair of Melbourne cops, a brother-sister combination and two quirky hairdressers, Sue and Teresa. Then there was Sticky, who was born without a left forearm. Watching this enterprising and relentlessly upbeat youngster compete was an unadulterated joy
All of this is looking good but we still have not heard anything from Active or Seven which is unusually strange, as I'm pretty sure that casting for the Mole which seemed to be the show that was overtaking the race has ended by now. There is just no activity whatsoever which makes me wonder if they are holding it off altogether until 2014? Thoughts anyone?

It could film in the first 1/2 of the year (when The Mole is airing), and air in the second half (when The Mole is filming).

Thats an idea. A change of filming time to change the seasons to try new locations (by seasons i mean weather ie a place that is amazing in winter but unavalbale in summer)
It won an International Emmy Award for activeTV and was praised by viewers and critics alike, but what is the future for The Amazing Race Australia?
After just two seasons the show seems to have sunk quickly in Seven’s eyes, failing to win an endorsement at the network’s recent Upfronts.
Meanwhile Seven got excited about a return for The Mole -but does it come at the expense of Race?
A call-out for new contestants took place in August, but presumably all those applications are gathering dust while the network tries to make up its mind.
Last month Seven’s Director of Production Brad Lyons, said of the Emmy win: ”We are absolutely over the moon that an Australian production has received such recognition at an international level. Our congratulations to each and every member of the team.”
But yesterday a Seven spokesperson still couldn’t confirm a renewal, telling TV Tonight, “No decision until early next year. It’s on the drawing board and a much loved format.”
In a recent TV Tonight poll 68% of viewers voted YES for the show to be renewed, and 24% voted NO. This week it also received 2 AACTA Awards nominations.
Maybe it’s another format a rival network could swoop upon if Seven doesn’t want the show?
Are the prople at 7 idiots?
I going to be starting a online petition in a couple of hours to make sure this amazing show comes back for a season 3. (I'm busy over the next few hours)
If someone else want to start one then be my guest.
You guys are cute, overreacting like true fanatics of the race! Have no fear the show is coming back next year. Casting won't start till next year as well.I hope your right but how do you know the show is coming back.

I can't reveal my sources, but know that a 3rd season has definitely been planned it's just a matter of finding the time to shoot and more so air it, so I actually don't know when it will air but it has been planned and just waiting for the green light for it to happen.
I have close my petition. No one was signing (myself and 2 very nice canadian people were the only ones to sign)
Sorry, I didn't see it. This forum is kind of hidden lower down so I guess not many visit it often. It would probably have been better starting a new thread for it to make it more visible.I had it as a very big signature. If you want to start a new one be my guest.
They have released a host for the Mole and it is NOT Grant so I don't think this really affects whether or not TAR AUS will return. I personally think it will though maybe not till the second half of the year - There is no way 7 will dump a show that has done really well rating wise.It hasn't rated the best but that was due to poor timeslots (especially in S2). 7 should give it at least one more chance.

An update on TARAU 3 will (hopefully) occur in the coming days as TV Tonight will do their program wrap for 7 for the upcoming year. (TV tonight have done their wraps for 9 and 10)
I don't think they will do that. The end of the year is when TAR 23 will most likely air.

we should be seeing or hearing something since it usually airs in May ???Our current theory is that they will film it during (Australia's) winter (June-August) for a spring Airing (September-November); basically it will follow a production cycle like what TARUS 23 would do

Who knows they could even pool their resources and do a similar route to each other (I heard that somthing like that could of happen between TARUS and TARI a couple of years ago)
With the TV show "Defiance" just being renewed for a second season, I wonder what will mean for TAR Aus?At first I didn't know what you meant by "Defence" but I looked it up and it was Grant's show.
Grant said he would be more than happy to host a 3rd season if it fits in with his schedule. Though I do know about some other people being 'trained' for the hosting position in the past especially for the second season.Can you tell us who? (I have big money on Grant Denyer)

Well, hopefully there is a third season as I thought the second season was very strong!I agree. Season 2 was comparable to some of the better TARUS seasons (minus some poor leg designs in the middle of the race) but did it get the ratings 7 wanted (even thought the show aired after Australia's Got No Talent for the 1st half of the season which was ratting badly last year and the timeslot changes to TARAU)
Multiple sightings of contestants in Melbourne, Australia.
That's too far to be true?! :ascared

Probably a local race. I don't think it would be smart for them to wear shirts advertising TARAus :lol:
So far we've got Pink, Orange, Yellow, and now Black team... :lol:
The only channle that would make TAR other then 7 is Fox8 (On Foxtel). They are the only other channle that has the licence to air TARUS(they are currentily airing TARUS-18 on Thursdays)
I hope there's another Channel willing to buy the TAR license from Channel-7
Maybe channel 9 or 10 wanna have a breakthrough..?!
I have it on good authority that if The Mole does not rate well, Channel 7 will film a new series of The Amazing Race - possibly even later this year, so it's ready to go early/mid 2014.I dont see The Mole working 3 nights a week. I don't think it will rate but who knows.
If The Mole rates well, Channel 7 will make another series of that instead. Likely due to the fact it is way cheaper to produce and make.
So if we want to see another series of The Amazing Race Australia we want to hope The Mole does not rate well.
It will be on 3 nights a week though, coming on after House Rules.
I am thinking 10 teams with 1 from NZ to drum up excitement across the Tasman(like MKR3) and 11 legs instead of 12/13.
Would you rather TARAu not come back at all.I am thinking 10 teams with 1 from NZ to drum up excitement across the Tasman(like MKR3) and 11 legs instead of 12/13.
NO. Please no. I don't really care much about less legs, but please not a team from NZ, we don't want to see that.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if 7 try and get more syndication deals for TARAu to compensate for some of the shows budget (they recently sold the rights to air TARAu in South Africa)

When Seven announced a reboot of The Mole, fans got excited.Soure: http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2013/07/should-seven-resume-the-amazing-race-australia.html
It had been 8 years since we saw the competition show, hosted for 4 seasons by actor Grant Bowler and 1 by Tom Williams.
Such was the enthusiasm for the show that it regularly topped polls on this site gauging viewer anticipation. But since the show debuted, the reaction has been less than enthusiastic, reflected in overnight ratings and rescheduled by Seven from 3 nights a week to just 1.
But those same viewers have also been calling for the return of The Amazing Race Australia, shelved for the year in favour of The Mole.
In its first season TARAu did great business in an early timeslot against MasterChef Australia, with solid ratings plus plenty of buzz in media and social. Last year it faced stiff competition from The Voice on Nine and was moved to a 9pm timeslot following Australia’s Got Talent, which attracts an older demo. It even went into a hiatus during the Olympic Games making it harder for the audience to connect.
The Amazing Race Australia proved to be a rare case of a local series adaptation being just as good as the original, backed up by an International Emmy award, an AACTA Award, plus Director’s Guild nominations and two Asian TV Awards. It was the first Reality show to film in Cuba and of the international Amazing Race franchise, it remains the only international version to race in Israel, outside of the local Israeli version.
You can also see its legacy in the casting of other hit Seven shows: My Kitchen Rules and House Rules now cast their couples with Amazing Race-like branding, sometimes even down to the colour coding.
With so many accolades, it begs the question, why is Seven holding off a third season? It even called for contestants last year for a third season.
And if they don’t want the show, could another network pick it up?
The short answer to that is: nope, not yet.
Seven still retains rights to The Amazing Race brand and has a close relationship with format-holders Disney. Co-creator Bertram van Munster knows Seven has been with the Race since day one and is fond of Seven CEO Tim Worner. But he was also a consultant on the Australian series and keeps a close eye on the show’s performances around the world, including time slot moves and audiences.
Disney declined to comment for this article.
activeTV, which produced TARA, has since produced versions in The Philippines, Ukraine, Israel and is planning another in Asia.
activeTV also declined to comment.
Fortunately, Seven did comment when approached by TV Tonight.
“It’s one of our favourites here at Seven and is under consideration for 2014,” a spokesperson said.
So over to you, dear reader.
Should Seven return The Amazing Race Australia next year?
Well if they would be so kind as to lower the age limit to 18, I could apply. ;)What is it now? 21?

The casting in both of TAR Australia's seasons were 2 of the best overall ever IMO (especially 2)
So season 3 won't happen at the end of this year it seems, but be on the lookout early next year!
Where did you hear this.
They could've used a slightly better word that stands out tbh instead of "big"Or they can get back to TARAu3 and stop this nonsense

THE AMAZING RACE AUSTRALIA is looking for ordinary people ready for the most extraordinary adventure of their lives.
Seven has announced the return of the hugely popular reality series, which has seen previous winners walk away with $250,000 prize money.
Teams of two will crisscross the globe in a fast-paced and unrelenting race around the world, unsure of what challenges lie ahead. Along the way they’ll confront fears, experience new cultures and make lifelong friends.
For further information and to apply, visit yahoo7.com.au/amazingrace from midday today.
Applications close on Wednesday, December 18, 2013.
THE AMAZING RACE AUSTRALIA is a Disney format and will be produced in-house by Seven.
The previous two series have been a huge hit with audiences and critics alike with the most recent awarded an International Emmy.
Disney format? :STAR part owned by Disney I think :res:
It’s great to see Seven is returning to The Amazing Race Australia, something many readers have been campaigning for over an extensive period.
Both Aussie seasons were as good as anything the US has served up -a rarity in local adaptations.
But there will be some subtle changes to the new season with Seven producing the series in-house.
That means activeTV, which won the International Emmy Award for the second season, is not on board. That’s a shame given they have produced a Philippine version, a Ukrainian version, an Israeli version, helped out on two American series, consulted on a Vietnamese version and is planning another in Asia.
Rights holders Disney and co-creator Bertram van Munster are loyal to Seven given the network’s long association with the brand, so presumably they have faith in Seven’s own team. No doubt Grant Bowler will be high on the host wishlist if he is available.
There will also be a twist this season, which Mediaweek reports is a “race within a race” -Australia vs. NZ competitors. If you remember back to earlier seasons of MKR, we’ve previously seen Kiwis brought in to take on Aussies in Seven shows.
Applications for teams of two open from midday today if you wish to apply: yahoo7.com.au/amazingrace
They close on Wednesday, December 18, 2013.
Ew. It's going to be crap now. (Not your fault Kiwis) I truly believe 7 is going to spend no money at all on this :res:Don't be negative, at least we have a 3rd season and we know that none of the legs will rip off TARA or any other activtv produced legs. We are going to have a compleatily original race (without the "Jig" or "Pig" detour.) and van Munster has faith in an in house production. How bad can it be?
If we didn't rip off Jig or Pig we wouldn't have had Hunners flashing the entirety of the Philippines :lol:That's an image I want to delete from my memory.
I'll only be 20. Darn it, what is the deal with 21 age limit? Is it because of restrictions overseas or what?Will you become 21 by the end of January.
No. Sadly I have to wait I guess, or be cheeky and say to them about the 19-20 year olds on the U.S version when it is also a 21-age limit race. :funny:Good luck.
3. Both applicants must be Australian or New Zealand citizens or have been a permanent resident of Australia or New Zealand for at least 2 years.Confirms NZ participation.
4. Neither applicant may be now or have been in the past 2 years an employee, officer, director or agent of the Seven Network, TVNZ or their affiliates, or be associated with any news or media outlet, including any web based media outlet, in Australia or elsewhere.So it'll probably air on and be partly funded by TVNZ
How do people in Australia feel about people from New Zealand, and vice versa? Do they like each other (maybe how Americans like Canadians), dislike each other (like how SOME Americans dislike Mexicans), or do they not care about each other (like how Americans aren't really concerned with, I don't know, Polish people)? Would Australians not want to watch it because it has New Zealanders? I'm from the US, so I'm not sure.
Polish people <3
Polish people <3
What? I couldn't think of anything :funny:
And thanks Australians and New Zealanders for the insight!
There are many Poles on rff :P
I don't think there are many reliable sites because 7 hates us and has decided that we don't need to rewatch a show, EVER.
Surely filming MUST begin soon. It's just about February!Either filming will begin really soon or they are putting it off until September (really unlikely as that would clash with TAR25)
Seven is now casting for a new Reality competition series, The Big Adventure.Source: http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2014/02/auditions-the-big-adventure.html
As revealed last year, the series involves ”Adventure, Competition and Travel” as well as a “Big Cash Prize.”
Unlike The Amazing Race Australia, the show seeks individuals not couples.

EXCLUSIVE: TV Tonight can reveal Grant Bowler will return as host of The Amazing Race Australia for Seven.Source: http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2014/02/grant-bowler-returns-to-host-amazing-race-australia.html
Bowler, who was well-received by fans of the local adaptation, hosted two seasons of the show for Seven in 2011 and 2012.
Produced by activeTV, the series went on to win an International Emmy award.
The third season is to be produced in-house by Seven and sees Aussie teams compete against teams from New Zealand. The change in producers is understood to be part of a cost saving by the network, which prides itself on internal productions.
Retaining Bowler in the hosting position will keep some synchronicity for the audience.
Shooting is expected to begin in March, travelling to more international territories.
