TAR Australia 5 (2021!!) News/Media/Speculation Thread! *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

It's heavily dependent on where you're coming from and traveling to. NSW/SA just removed a mandatory 14 day quarantine  this week, I imagine some restrictions will change as filming goes on.

Beau's coming from Sydney, but no idea where they're heading to. Bottom line is though that QLD has strong quarantine restrictions, to the point there's excessive media coverage slamming it. Most people leaving NSW are required to undergo quarantine anywhere they go. As far as I understand, no VIC teams are reportedly involved this season due to the high cases in Melbourne at the moment.

I think we'll need to see where they start and from there figure out which states they can or cannot enter without quarantining. Best bet to do that is refer to the state government's website for the official requirements.

--- Quote ---With his trademark high energy and court jester spirit, The Amazing Race host Beau Ryan returned to filming the reality adventure series on location in Queensland this week.

While the series set off last year around the world, this season – in the time of coronavirus – the popular 10 tentpole has been forced to think on its feet and find a new route around Australia.

As Network 10 executive producer Cathie Scott told Saturday EXTRA, when the world went into shutdown back in March, “embarking on a travel reality format such as The Amazing Race Australia … presented us with immense challenges but also an incredible opportunity to re-imagine this much-loved format.”

After a successful return to air last year, “the onset of COVID and the travel restrictions that ensued meant that we had to reassess all of series 2 international route planning and quickly adapt to shooting totally within Australia,” Ms Scott said.

“A cleverly designed travel route across the country, with the highest level of COVID safety protocols in place, will highlight never before regions and cultures right on our front door.”

With production staff, as well as contestants and crew all forced into a two-week hotel quarantine, the new season set off this week, bracing for anything.

Beyond the basic social distancing protocols, TV productions like the Race have had to pivot their plans to ensure the safety of all cast and crew, while still maintaining the entertainment standards viewers have come to expect from the highly-engaging reality genre.

After an initial shutdown of all studio filming and outside broadcasts in March, slowly but surely the TV networks and production companies they hire to deliver their reality slate have come back to life.

It’s just that real life looks a little different now.

--- Quote ---Production for The Amazing Race has resumed in Queensland, months after it was temporarily shut down.

And last week, the show's host Beau Ryan was spotted chatting to a crew member as he enjoyed a break from filming the show.

The ex-NRL star, 35, kept things cool and casual in a white T-shirt and black shorts as he sat on a wall outside a venue in Cairns.
