I like them!!


 Farmers not Cowboys....

Thanks for doing this!!

Are there bios yet??

:popcorn:

I love the cast, it's much better than I first anticipated.

Yeah, Matt & Tom are farmers not cowboys.

There are bios, did you want me to put them up?

Thanks ovalorange! For the name order, I believe that the group shot has the names in correct order. It's the order I got them from the newspaper caption, and all the ones we know are correct, as well as all of the M/F ones.

I'll get the bios and put them at the start of the thread.

ETA: Bios are up, they are on post 4.

For some reason Richard and Joey remind me of Ray and Deana or Lance and Keri, I think they'll be too intense and lose focus, bumping them out of the race.

No date has been set yet, but we are mid way through the first half of the Australian TV season, a lot of shows are finishing up this week or the next. There is a chance of TAR Australia starting after Easter, possibly a 7:30pm Wednesday or Thursday time slot.

I was thinking it might take one of My Kitchen Rules timeslots (Mon-Wed, 7.30pm). It finishes up this week and has had a great ratings success there. I could see Channel 7 trying to do the same thing with TarAus to boost the initial ratings

I would be very surprised if AusTAR came on while TAR 18 was still showing.

Seven have sent out a press kit for The Amazing Race Australia. It can't be too long away from a premiere now.

I tried to attach the PDF but the attachment was too big. Anyway the original file can be found here for those interested.

Jeff and Luke aren't seen in one either -- it cuts straight to them walking down the docks in their interview clip.

I'll get a fatwa for saying this, but Mo & Mos reminds me of Bilal & Sa'eed

I'm getting Tammy & Vic vibes from Ryot & Liberty.

Ok so I finally got around to fixing up the contestant part of the timeline:

Please feel free to scrutinize!


Safe from Elimination at End of Leg:

    * Sam and Renae - Last seen getting off train in Europe (I am assuming this is the Germany to Prague train, may be wrong) - SEEN IN PREVIOUSLY ON EP1 clip
    * Tom and Matt - Last spotted at Ben Gurion International Airport  on route to Sri Lanka Photographic evidence
    * Richard and Joey - Last seen driving in South Africa SEEN IN PREVIOUSLY ON EP1 clip
    * Nathan and Taylor - Last seen getting off train in Europe (I am assuming this is the Germany to Prague train, may be wrong) - SEEN IN PREVIOUSLY ON EP1 clip
    * Chris and Anastasia - Last seen doing crossbow task in Prague SEEN IN PREVIOUSLY ON EP1 clip AND other clips
    * Mo and Mos - Last seen at shooting task in South Africa SEEN IN PREVIOUSLY ON EP1 clip
    * Alana and Mel - Last seen driving in South Africa SEEN IN PREVIOUSLY ON EP1 clip
    * Jeff and Luke - Last seen at skydiving in South Africa (They are hugging next a big X, is this a correct assumption) - SEEN IN PREVIOUSLY ON EP1 clip

Possibly Eliminated:

    * Anne-Marie and Tracy - Last spotted reading HK Clue SEEN IN PREVIOUSLY ON EP1 clip AND other clips
    * David and Kelly - Last spotted in HK/Macau SEEN IN PREVIOUSLY ON EP1 clip and NEXT TIME ON EP3

Status Uncertain:

    * Liberty and Ryot - ELIMINATED

Going by this and promos, I say Big W are next  :'( followed by Dave and Kelly  :'(

I can't get a cap of it right now, but I'm sure I've seen Dave & Kelly in armour gear in what I presume is Prague.
