I speculate that this is because they don't want the US version to overlap with the premiere of TAR AUS in 2011.

As for the delays, it depends on the season. We got allstars before 10, and then season 12 came almost 2 years after, but season 13 through 16 were only a few weeks out.

I'm a long time lurker here who finally joined up. You guys here do a wonderful job and I'm very impressed, there's no place out on the internet like this!
I'm so excited to see the Amazing Race come to Australia, I hope to participate on it soon and I know many people have gone crazy over it since the applications came out.
Coutzy, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that season 14 was about six months behind the U.S? Though I remember season 15 wasn't too bad, Channel Seven did air double episodes each week allowing us to see the finale about a week or so behind the actual airing in the U.S.
But yes, Channel Seven stuffed the order up for allstars and season 10, we heard about Dustin and Kandice's and David and Mary's previous race results before we had even seen it.

Possibly- I haven't watched them on channel 7 since season 12. I've used, shall we say, "Other methods"

:lol3: I do the same, simply for the fact the programming is very inconsistant season to season.

Any word on when this is starting? Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne starts would be the most likely! Ready to get my detective on :lol:

I have rough theories based on events they wouldn't want to clash with.
Theoretically (read- According to the application forms) The race could be run at any time between now and the end of December.
Realistically- They will not run the race through Christmas, and I think it would be doubtful that they would want to clash with the Melbourne Cup (Is that as big an event outside of Victoria?) since it is a big Channel 7 event. Assuming they would not want to clash with the Cup, that would rule out any start before the first week of November. They would also not want to run to deep into school holidays, when flights and entrance fees to several attractions almost double in price. This rules out a week or two leading up to Christmas.
I hypothesize that Phil/Ben/Tom/Whoever else Channel 7 is considering to host will be saying "Go!" in mid to late November (If I had to pick any one day, I would say the morning of the 16th, simply because I like the number)
As for the starting line, Channel 7 (The broadcasting aspect, anyway) is a based in the Docklands of Melbourne, so I would hazard a guess to say Melbourne is the most likely start city. Possible starting lines for Melbourne would include the MCG, Etihad Stadium, The Shrine of Rememberance, The King's Domain or the Sidney Myer Music Bowl
