Huh, so they're satisfied with the numbers.
As I said elsewhere, been very pleasantly surprised by this season so far.
This Celebrity Edition has been overall better than the bloated 2 previous seasons we've had of this version.

A little snippet about what we are up for this season in today's 10's Programmer's Wrap!

Last season's great cast more than made up for the lame route (did we really need 6 legs in Malaysia?) This is nice to know.

Though I wonder if they'll do something to dissuade another tie in the final 3. Apparently only the US version pays prize money to 2nd and 3rd place. If Australia did that, then they won't feel guilted into sharing the charity.

They are about to be unleashed in the new-look Top Gear Australia but when do presenters Jonathan LaPaglia and Beau Ryan head off for their respective ‘day jobs’ on Australian Survivor and The Amazing Race Australia?

“Nothing’s official yet for Survivor,” said LaPaglia, “but typically we shoot every season around the end of July / August. As far as I know we are doing another season, but nothing’s locked in yet.”

“In terms of Amazing Race we are going with a celebrity version again, which I’m happy about,” says Beau Ryan.

“I mean, we had huge success last year off the back of the celebrity version, but I do like the fact that average Australians can compete as well.

“It’s only a matter of time before we probably go back to that format. We’ve got an incredible cast and we are going relatively soon.”

Meanwhile Top Gear Australia premieres May 17 on Paramount+.
