Amazing Race Australia - Speculation

--- Quote ---So you might think hosting Amazing Race would be starting to pall, but a decade in, Keoghan still seems enthusiastic about it. And it still is an amazing show. Fingers crossed the Australian version measures up.
"I would like to think it will," Keoghan says. "I mean, I hope that it is made at the same level, with the same quality. I think Australians deserve it. They've wanted it for a long time.
"There's no doubting any of the talents of anybody in Australia. Execution of the production and all of that, that'll be all covered. The issue is really going to come down to making sure that they get the right cast. And that Australians care. You know that Australians can be pretty critical when they want to be."
Of course, the prize money in the Australian version might also be substantially less than $1 million dollars as well. Will it have the GST out of it? Keoghan wants to know.

--- Quote ---If North America is true, maybe they went somewhere south of the USA, where the race would not be as well known. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Caribbean countries considered part of North America?

All except for Trinidad and Tobago, which is technically part of South America.
They could be hiding in plain sight to avoid spoilers, in a big city where people are seen as "too busy to care", the way Burnett approached filming of The Apprentice in New York.

Tho Trinidad and Tobago is much much closer to S.A. it is still very much part of the North American continent
same thing with the Netherlands Antilles (Aruba, Curacao, etc)

As predicted, Channel 7 are starting to show some promos for The Amazing Race Australia. In the next couple of weeks the TV networks heavily promote all of this years new season shows after the summer break.
The promo I saw was only short, no info at all about contestants or countries. Also no air date or clue if it will be shown early, middle or late 2011. Keep an eye out for more promos soon!

I expect it will be shown just after TAR18 to try and cash in on the popularity of the returning racers.
