The most Amazing Race LINDA SMITH | April 20, 2012 12.01am
TWO Tasmanian men will star in the new series of The Amazing Race Australia.
Launceston flatmates Geoff Stick and Sam Hay, both 24, will feature on Series Two of the travel-adventure show, which will soon screen on Southern Cross.
The two met at school 12 years ago and have been best friends since.
They not only live together but also play in the same cricket and football clubs and applied for The Amazing Race Australia because they thought their strong bond and easygoing personalities would stand them in good stead for winning the show's $250,000 first prize.
Stick, who was born without a left forearm, was also keen to highlight the capabilities of people with disabilities.
"I just want to prove to myself and anyone who has ever doubted me that my arm won't stop me from doing anything," Stick said.
Hay said Stick was "just an inspirational bloke".
"He's better than me at just about anything, including with the ladies," he said.
They are one of 11 teams in the new series, in which contestants do activities such as skydiving, rafting and bungy jumping while racing around the world.

STICKY & SAM, flatmates, live in Tasmania
MET at school 12 years ago and have been best friends since.
Sticky was born without a left forearm but still competes in the same cricket and football clubs as Sam.
“Sticky’s just an inspirational bloke. He’s better than me at just about anything, including the ladies,” Sam said.
The boys are determined that nothing will hold them back on the Race.
“I just want to prove myself and anyone who’s ever doubted me that my arm won’t stop me from doing anything,” Sticky said.

Sticky & Sam (TAS) Official TARAUS Website Bio
Geoff, or “Sticky” to his mates, and Sam met at school in Launceston 12 years ago and have been best friends ever since.
These flatmates also compete together in the same cricket and football clubs – no mean feat given Sticky was born without a left forearm.
“Sticky’s just an inspirational bloke. He’s better than me at just about anything, including with the ladies!” says Sam.
And the boys are determined that nothing will hold them back on the race.
“I just want to prove to myself and anyone who’s ever doubted me that my arm won’t stop me from doing anything,” explains Sticky.
“It’s never held me back before and I don’t see why it will now.”
These sports-mad mates have both competed at an elite level. Sticky trained in javelin at the Australian Institute of Sport and is hoping to be selected in the Australian Paralympic team, while Sam has played grade cricket.
And look out ladies – both Sam and Sticky are single and on the lookout for love.
“It’d be great to find love on the show,” says Sticky.
The boys believe their easygoing nature will also stand them in good stead on the race.
“I don’t think we really have a weakness,” says Sam. “Unless of course anything comes down to luck because we’re unlucky as hell.”

Surely the meter of their taxi said 176.50 not 1.765,00??
None of the other teams ran into that much trouble with their taxi fares and it seems unlikely TAR would give them a rediculous budget compared to the local prices, i.e. one to not even cover a cab fare?
The taxi driver said : How many hours? He probably thought they were chartering him for 2000 Philippine pesos? :duno:
I don't think he meant to rip them off, it was probably more a misunderstanding but it wasn't corrected.
I hope they won't make these sorts of mistakes again though.
Would be a shame if they got out because of one of these mistakes, and this could have easily cost them the race if it hadn't been for the free ride they got.
-
I love this team. :hearts:
-
Pleased to see them win, especially after the clear disadvantage Sticky had with the pull-task.
Maybe he should have thought about that one a bit more before choosing it. :lol:
Lucky for them no fatal mistakes here.
Seems like a likeable team sofar so among my fave's. :)
-
so happy they won the leg :conf:
they're strong and they've got a sense of humour about them, a team worth rooting for!

I have a feeling that they will get eliminated because they got lost.

Something new about their elimination I never knew before.
On the show it looked like they just got lost. After the Season 4 elimination of Show content
Tom & Tyler
, Sticky tweeted that they were the recipients of an unaired U-Turn in Cuba. A voting one.

Sam responded saying they were U-Turned because of the Express Pass. Rewatching Leg 2, Sticky does appear to be holding onto a yellow envelope, which he didn't have when running to the Pit Stop. TARAU 2 really had the unfortunate problem of too much entertainment. :funny:

Just tweeted at Sticky and Sam, and Sam happened to let me know that he believes they voted to U-Turn Paul and Steve in Cuba which makes sense. That leaves Lucy & Emilia's vote as the only mystery vote since they didn't vote for Sticky and Sam based on the Reality Fan Wiki page, as I haven't watched the Andrew & Shane interview yet.
https://twitter.com/Hayzie26/status/1672378555601395713?s=20
Pretty sure it was just the standard Paul and Steve vote

I'll dig through my Facebook DMs with Lumelia that I had going on when doing the TAR Australia 2 blogs. I'm sure I must have asked them about the U-Turn votes like I did with Sticky & Sam and Shane & Andrew a few years ago.

"Good morning! I’ll need to check with Emilia but I’m pretty sure that we voted for Shane and Andrew! But will double check!!"
Yeah, Lumelia were onto Shane & Andrew as being the biggest threats from the beginning of the race.

I actually said to Sam that Lucy & Emilia's vote is now the only one that remained a mystery, and he told me Lucy & Emilia U-Turned them as well. He also said that they used the Express Pass in leg 7 on the unaired Detour, and they chose the task where they rolled cigars (I guess it makes sense why they didn't air the Express Pass if they weren't going to air the Detour they used it on). I started listening to the TAR Aus 2 rewatch podcast just yesterday and binged the 4 episodes, and I believe one of you mentioned something about the Express Pass playing into a later episode, so you probably knew about the Express Pass being used, but it wasn't mentioned on Reality Fan Wiki, so I asked.
Hell, I might as well ask him about all the other unaired Route Info Tasks, Detours, and Roadblocks now. Y'all should get him and Sticky on the Podcast!

If you go into the Twitter archives through advanced search filters back when I did my TAR Australia 2 TARstorian blogs, Sticky & Sam publicly tweeted replies to all of the questions I asked after each episode blog (and I updated it into my TAR Australia 2 TARstorian episode blogs themselves). I included as much of the info I got from Lucy & Emilia too. All of the unaired tasks, the Express Pass, and Must Vote U-Turn stuff were all in the tweets.
There's also the Shane & Andrew podcast interview I did in 2020 where we talked about a bunch of the unaired Cuba and India stuff too.
And yes, we've been working on scheduling Sticky & Sam for an interview since I completed the TAR Australia 2 TARstorian blogs back in 2020. It's tough getting my time zone, Michael's time zone, and Sticky & Sam's time zones all lined up for an interview. They want to do an interview and we do too.
Once the TAR Australia 2 podcasts are all released, we plan to finally get around to interviewing Sticky & Sam and Lucy & Emilia. . .and if there is a God, we'll get Paul Montgomery, Sarah, Grace, Grant Bowler, or Michael MacKay on too.

It makes sense has it's 3 different parts of the world, so finding time where someone is not up in the middle of the night is difficult. I wish you guys luck on the interviews, and Michael MacKay would be amazing to interview! Also, I feel like Paul is like the Amanda Kimmel of TAR Aus, so giving you guys all the prayers on that.
I did listen to the Shane & Andrew podcast a couple days ago and it was wonderful! I will be keeping up with the podcast! Can't wait to listen to episode 5 today!

Yeah, Australian interviews usually end up with it being me disadvantaged time-wise for once haha
I don't *think* the episode has released yet where we discover Paul isn't completely nomadic, but he would be an absolute dream to get I think (especially after this week's episode which I think may get me some hate tweets...)

I watched this season for the first time last week, and hated Paul until the race ended, and then I enjoyed him after the fact. I enjoy a villain that you love to hate, and he was it. I agree with most of your Paul takes. He wasn't that bad just arrogant. I didn't realize how bad Grace came across until after the fact (except for the fake breasts comment.. that was just always bad).
Alright if I have anymore comments I will leave them under the podcast thread instead of in here, as I don't want to clutter the thread with non-Sticky & Sam stuff, but good chat! You guys are great!

Man, you guys gotta DM me when you discover new information like this that I need to add to the wiki. I don't watch every forum and every thread like a hawk...
