GAME ON!
Grant: Morning is breaking over Sydney Heads, the entrance to the worlds biggest natural harbour.
From this harbour, 11 teams of two are about to embark on a race around the world. The teams are:
Shane and Andrew- Cops from Melbourne.
In our roles as cops we've been in some sticky situations, when you take someone to the trenches, we take eachother.
Cheerleader twins Michelle and Jo
We're born 34 seconds apart. The best things about being twins is more attention and finishing each other sentences.
Flatmates from Tassie Sticky and Sam
Sticky was born without one arm, and wants to prove that he can do anything anyone else can do. He steals the girls, which annoys Sam
James and Hunner Chick.
James is a 23 year old hotel manager, Hunners Chick is a 32 year old salon manager. They believe opposites attract.
Adam and Dane- Cousins.
They grew up with eachother and like to have a laugh. They believe their indigeonous side will help them out on the race.
From Geraldton WA, Sue and Teresa.
Teresa owns a hairdressing salon, and Sue has been working for her for 8 years. They believe very much in karma and positive vibes.
Athletic Father and Daughter Ross and Taryn
Ross played for Fitzroy and Melbourne in the AFL. Taryn's greatest accomplishment was making it to the top level of basketball in Australia.
Schoolteacher sisters Lucy and Emelia
They come from a traditional italian family. Lucy's voice is "A bit more on the woggy side." They work together at the same school, both teaching Italian.
Engaged Brisbane couple Kym and Donna.
They've known each other 4 years, and click together like 2 bits of lego. Kym is the rock, Donna is the crazy one. They're not here to make friends, they have enough already.
Joseph and Grace- Brother and Sister.
Joseph works for one of the big banks (I hate him just for that) Grace thinks he's a know it all, and she needs to tell him when he's wrong.
From Melbourne- Paul and Steve, workmates.
Paul runs accounts, Steve is more hands on. They are both in the roadworks industry. They are here to win. Paul isn't going to practice an elimination speech, because he plans on winning.
All do their run throughs, and Grant is explaining the rules.
