Author Topic: TAR Australia Cancelled? (2011-2022?) UPDATE: Nope! (Read 12953 times)

The show is officially cancelled. 10 just posted their "year in review" and there is absolutely no mention of TAR or any of their shows that aired in Q3 and Q4 2022, with the exception of The Masked Singer. Beau has also removed the "register for interest" link from his Instagram.

Rest easy, Network 10 TAR.

While I understand the reasoning from what you all explained, it saddens me SO MUCH to lose any of our TAR franchises.

Do you all think a change in hosts would have made a difference?

And is there ANY hope it could be picked up by others?

Thanks for all the updates Gamer....heartbreaking .

How saddening.

This is awful news, but it's hardly unexpected. The ratings for TAR Australia 6 were awful, no show was gunna be renewed on those figures.

As for maybe the show would do better with Beau as host, I don't think it would of really made a difference. Every reality show on Network 10 in 2022 has pretty much failed this year, except for Australian Survivor and The Masked Singer, with each of those failed shows having a different Host, so I don't think Beau as Host was a problem for viewers...

Word on the street:

Don't give up.

There are numerous budget and financial things to address to make this viable.

BUT...not impossible and not without hope.

Hang tough!

Very interesting! Let's not give up hope for TAR Australia just yet!

Hopeful news from 10. I suspected it wasn't a complete cancellation and more a need to look for a redirection.

They would do well to look at returning the cast to a normal number of 12 teams across 12 episodes. I think they've lost the way a bit with the massive 20 teams, the 21-24 episodes, the Sabotage-Save, the intruder teams, all of that just isn't in keeping with the tradition of the race. What we want to see is ordinary Australians from all age groups, ethnicities, physicalities and walks of life, competing in interesting challenges in interesting places. The most they should look to include is a fast forward or two, and a yield/u-turn or two.

Here's hoping they schedule it in for late-2023 or early-2024.

Not TAR, but:

https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2022/10/21/channel-9-commissions-new-travel-adventures-series-globetrotters-promising-the-overseas-adventure-of-a-lifetime/

Channel 9 has officially greenlit a show called "Globetrotters" which is cited as an "original concept" developed by Endemol Shine where "two teams of two pack their bags for the overseas adventure of a liftetime with a huge cash prize for the winning team".

Apps are open and the show will film January 30, 2023 for six weeks.

I wonder if 9 secretly picked up TAR from 10 under this working title The filming schedule is eerily similar to what 10 did for TAR Australia 5-6 (6-7 weeks for both seasons).

I still believe that this show is the new TarAustralia. Any updates on it. It could b Amazing Race Aus 7

Unfortunately, this show is not TAR Australia. It has been announced today as RUSH, a travel adventure series following twelve everyday Aussies embarking on an adventure of a lifetime to some of the most exhilarating places on the planet.

Interestingly, it's being hosted by two-time Australian Survivor contestant David Genat...

Considering that they did mention that the format was developed by Endemol Shine, was probably a giveaway already that it would not be TAR.

False alarm! Channel 10 has officially confirmed The Amazing Race Australia for the second half of 2023.

Apps and other details are TBA.

Superb news. I hope they reduce back to the normal 11-12 teams and 12 legs, like they did in the first 10 edition. The Australian edition had far too many needless twists that I would rather not ever see again, and the most recent simply had too many teams and too much COVID interference.

I hope they learn from all of the above, and this season is really wonderful. Good luck to them!

What the Aotearoan said.

Curiously, the article made no mention of Beau returning as the host - perhaps Scott Tweedie shall take his place for good.

NumfarPTB · « **Reply #38 on:** April 28, 2023, 06:10:04 AM »

Interesting.
Wonder if they've started casting, if they do plan for the second semester 2023 broadcast, they need to start filming soon, unless that's a very late into the year broadcast.
Maybe they might race around the same time as US, which will make following filming a bit hectic.

Also hoping for a smaller cast, with fewer weird twitsts, yet with the way Network 10 seems to always broadcast multiple episodes per week, is harder with a smaller cast.

BourkieBoy · « **Reply #39 on:** April 28, 2023, 07:00:01 AM »

Woohoo! What great news to get on a Friday afternoon!

I think it's time to go back to basics with 11 teams and 12 legs. Like Peach always says, I want to see "ordinary people doing extraordinary things"! Make TAR Australia 7 just like TAR Australia 2, with an awesome cast, route & challenges!

As for filming & airing, I think we'll see this version in a similar vein to TAR Australia 4 in 2019: filming from mid-August to mid-September and airing from late October to early December...

Parasparopagraho · « **Reply #40 on:** April 28, 2023, 08:11:57 AM »

So if the Finnish edition waits until late summertime to film, then there's a non-zero possibility that it could run into teams from TARAUS7.

Maanca · « **Reply #41 on:** April 28, 2023, 01:49:30 PM »

Shocking. I figured after that disastrous last season, they were dead for good. At least on Ten 😮

But the next season definitely needs a shakeup in who's producing the show.

Honestly, not surprised.

The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition

This year, the biggest race around the world is heading in a new direction in an exciting new series, The Amazing Race Australia Celebrity Edition. They say travel is the ultimate test of any relationship, and for the celebrities joining us this season, it will be no ordinary challenge. Our celebrities and their race partner will be met at the starting line by our larrikin host Beau Ryan, who will be sure to throw twists and turns their way as they race across the globe. From culture shock, meagre budgets and the pressure of a non-stop race, our star racers will be tested in ways we’ve never seen before.

It isn't Australia without trying to do a Celebrity version of a reality show I guess

I kind of hope celebrity edition means traditional 12 legs race because of busy schedules of celebrities? I am over 24 x 1 hours 15 minutes episode tbh.

Amen!

I also hope they reduce the amount of bunching points on every single legs.

Not surprised honestly - no apps and there was already a tease for this last season.

A strategy for 10 is apparently to cut down on the length of most of their reality shows by a little after their disastrous 2022 so I'm presently guessing we have a 15-18 leg season instead of 21-24. Five countries, three legs a piece just like Australia 6 to keep costs down (with an accelerated filming schedule similar to that season), 14-15 teams.

Also we'll be moving all discussion to a new thread below, thanks Xoruz for the theme report!
