Amazing Race Australia - Speculation
RichInSydney:
Channel 7 have released their line up for the start of the new season next week. Unfortunately no Amazing Race Australia yet.
Only speculation at this stage but I have heard it may air at the start of June. This could mean TAR 18 could be aired before this. There are still a few timeslots not filled yet so you never know. Channel 7 are notorious for changing scedules at late notice so we really can't predict anything at this stage.

A June start would be awesome, because that way a 2nd season would most likely come after my 21st birthday

I don't think Channel 7 would do 2 seasons a year like they do in the US. If they give the go ahead for season 2, I'd say it would be filmed late 2011 for 2012 broadcast.

I saw that preview today during the Australian Open tennis! :hearts:
Here is my guess to when TAR Australia will air, based on trends from previous US seasons:
I'm thinking that for the time being, no TAR in Australia. On Thursday nights, they are going to have How I Met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives on, and as Australian TAR Fans will know, the US TAR has always given on Thursday nights, ever since Season 5 (with the exception of the last three episodes of TAR15, which shifted to Tuesday nights).
So I'm guessing that by May/June, one of those three shows will either have their season finished, or will shift to a different night (potentially when My Kitchen Rules finishes, as that show is apparently going to air three nights a week). This will allow Seven to put the US TAR season on Thursday night.
I am sort of hoping that they will show the US episodes followed by the Australian episodes on the same night, sort of like how Channel Ten shows NCIS followed by NCIS: Los Angeles on Tuesday nights.
So according to my guesswork (and a little bit of my hoping) I predict a May/June start to airing TAR18 in Australia (follows the precedent set by TAR12, TAR14 and TAR16) with TAR Australia airing concurrently. :duno:
Of course, it is also very possible that they will air the entirety of TAR18 before they air TAR Australia. My other scenario is that they will air TAR18, then give TAR Australia as soon as it finishes, and then start TAR19 (less than a week behind the USA, just like how TAR17 was).
Hope I didn't blabber on for too long! B:)
