There was gonna be one. It never got past pre-production.
Looks like when this one finally gets rolling, Coutzy's gonna have his/her hands full.

:lol3: I'll either be on it, or following it in my car :lol3:

Last I looked it is perhaps 2500 driving miles from Melbourne to Perth and 2140 driving miles from Melbourne to Cairns in northern Queensland. That's a lot of driving unless it the race stays just in New South Wales, which I believe you would agree is highly unlikely.

If he's got the drive and starts an online petition for gas money I would chip in :lol:

Television,Television Programmes
The Seven Network has purchased the international format rights to the highly successful reality adventure series, The Amazing Race.
A network insider confirmed the program was in pre-production, and that executives were discussing the finer details, the Herald Sun reports.
The local version will see teams of two race across the country in a number of challenges to secure the grand prize. It is unknown whether competing contestants will also travel internationally.
A presenter for the show hasn’t been settled on yet, however, there is speculation that Phil Keoghan will be involved. The Emmy award-winning New Zealand television personality has hosted the original American series since its inception.
Other names being considered for the hosting role include network personalities Grant Denyer and Daniel MacPherson.
It is understood that Seven is prepared to invest significantly in the local version, attempting to create a program that mirrors the success of the international series. Additionally, a celebrity spin-off of the show is believed to be in consideration.

I will likely kill somebody if they choose to go for a "Celebrity" version instead of allowing me onto the show.

I hear ya, man. At least they said "additionally", and it's right at the end of the article, almost making it seem like a second thought. I'm sure there'd be a huge uproar from Amazing Race fans all over the world if they didn't have a civilian version.
(Then again, the American version is more or less a celebrity edition as it is... :groan: I'm still holding out hope I'll make it on the show when I apply in a few years.)
