Adventure time for Amazing Race teams
May 23, 2012
Adam Corowa and cousin Dane.
Amazing Race Australia contestant Adam Corowa says he went days without eating and did not admit to being on the TV show when travelling to avoid any incidents.
Corowa, who paired up with his cousin Dane Corowa, makes up one of the 11 teams competing for $250,000 prize money in the second season of the Seven Network's Amazing Race Australia.
The cousins, who grew up together in NSW's Tweed Heads, is the first indigenous team to compete on the reality orienteering show.
Amazing Race Australia, which premieres next Wednesday, covers more than 65,000 kilometres, across four continents, taking in a dozen countries and almost two dozen cities.
Adam, 30, says that because 29-year-old Dane had trouble converting currency it meant they were short changed and had to forgo meals. In addition, time and travel constraints added to the stress of having to skip breakfast, lunch and dinner.
"The money side of things was tough," Adam says.
"We were only getting a $100 a day and there were days on end where we didn't eat.
"We had trouble with our expenses ... we got ripped off a bit.
"Once we travelled for 10 hours on a bus without stopping and we got to our destination late at night that was pretty hard (trying to find somewhere to eat)."
Although filming for the show Amazing Race Australia finished in December, Adam and Dane have been restrained from talking about their experience until now.
The cousins say are used to keeping quiet though because while they were racing around the world they didn't advertise their involvement in the Amazing Race Australia for promotional and security reasons.
"If someone asked us if we were part of the Amazing Race we would say have to say 'no, we are on a travel documentary'," Adam, the father-of-three, says.
"In some certain places it was vital for us to say `no' because there could have been terrorism. There were some pretty scary places."
Other teams racing this season include on-again, off-again couple Sarah, 32 and James 23; larger-than-life Sydney sisters Lucy and Emilia; and former Fitzroy AFL player Ross Thornton and his daughter Tarryn.
The Amazing Race Australia premieres on the Seven Network on May 30 at 9pm.

exit interview with Dane & Adam

Bad luck. :(
They should have asked the father and daughter if they would be willing to lend them some money.
That way they didn't need to break any rules. They were willing to help them buy a busticket anyway.
Just bad luck. I like having the Italian sisters around still but frankly they kinda deserved to be out because they made some glaring obvious mistakes. One of which was telling the the 'alpha' a**holes (well one anyway..) how to do the dung challenge.
Oh and by the way, I don't mind dung challenges but really why does it always have to be that when it comes to India.. :groan:
I imagine the place has a few better things to do, as much as we all like to gloat about contestants messing around with pigpoo first and then cowpoo next..
But I digress, :lol: Too bad, I liked this team! I think they were just unlucky from the beginning basically, with their raft falling to pieces just before the finish in episode 1 already.
(Maybe they should have paid more attention to the money but none of the other teams seemed to be in real trouble).
zeeyyy:
India is a place where you can get cheated (TAR Aus, TARA) and groped (TAR)! :'(
Yes, it's here that the cousins were cheated as they paid 800 rupees for a tut-tut ride which is the start of their nightmare...
Glamazon Racer:
I actually really liked them and had the potential to do really well, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. :(
Never would've thought they'd be the first exits, though! :ascared
