The Amazing Race Australia 5

January 01, 1970

The Amazing Race Australia 5 is the fifth season of The Amazing Race Australia, an Australian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race and the second instalment of Network 10's iteration of the show. Hosted by Beau Ryan, it featured sixteen teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around Australia due to the COVID-19 pandemic to win A$250,000.[2] This season visited four states and two territories and travelled over 17,000 kilometres (11,000ย mi) during twenty-four legs. Starting in Newell, Queensland, racers travelled through Queensland, the Northern Territory, South Australia, Tasmania, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory before finishing atop Mount Kosciuszko. New twists introduced in this season include forcing the first team to arrive at a U-Turn to use it, stowaway teams and the First Class Pass, which was awarded to the winners of non-elimination legs, allowed them to skip the next leg and give a Salvage (an advantage) and a Sabotage (a disadvantage) for the last two teams during the next leg. The season premiered at 7:30ย pm on 1 February 2021 and concluded on 28 March 2021.[3]

Production edit

Development and filming edit

On 10 October 2019, the show's renewal was announced at the 2020 upfronts prior to the premiere of the previous season[4] with the second season from Network 10 initially set to air in late 2020.[5]

After production of the thirty-third season of the American edition of The Amazing Race was halted in February 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, questions were raised over whether a new Australian edition would be filmed later in the year.[6] A Network 10 spokesperson later stated that the network was seeking advice to create a safe route and establish proper safety measures.[7] Host Beau Ryan stated on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that the season would not be cancelled, but the outbreak had caused producers to change the season's route twice and that the season could film only in Australia if the outbreak worsened.[8] The initially planned international route for this season included visits to India, Brazil and Europe.[9] On 11 March, a Network 10 spokesperson confirmed that the season would film only in Australia.[10][11] Filming was set to occur between June and July 2020[12] but was postponed due to interstate travel restrictions.[13] Beverley McGarvey, the chief content officer and executive vice president of ViacomCBS in Australia and New Zealand, stated that the network was committed to filming the season once state borders reopened.[14] In an interview on Studio 10, Beau Ryan stated that the show created COVID safety officers, contestants and crew members would be regularly tested and provided with personal protective equipment and the show would be travelling to areas with lower populations to reduce personal interactions.[15]

According to Beau Ryan, production would take place over eight to nine weeks starting in late September with a two-week quarantine before filming, and Victoria and Western Australia would be hard to include due to border and lockdown restrictions.[16][17] The planned legs in Western Australia were to be Perth, Rottnest Island and Broome, but were eventually cancelled and replaced by reused legs in Queensland.[18] Following the quarantine period to medically clear the teams and production, filming started in Queensland in early October 2020.[19][20] During filming, producer Yasmin Kara broke her vertebrae while testing a challenge that involved jumping into the water.[21] Production concluded in mid-November.[22]

Chris Diloreto & Aleisha Groth set a record for most consecutive legs run in a single season at 22 legs.[23] With eight leg wins, Ashleigh Lawrence & Amanda Blanks broke the record for most leg wins by an all-female team, previously held by Natalie & Meaghan from The Amazing Race Canada 2, and tied the record for most leg wins in a single season.[24]

This season's visits to South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory meant that all of Australia's states and territories were featured at least once among the first five seasons of The Amazing Race Australia.

Format changes edit

This season introduced two new game mechanics: the First Class Pass and Stowaway teams.[25][26]

  • The First Class Pass was awarded to the first-place team of a non-elimination leg. The recipients would be able to skip the next leg, during which they would enjoy a special reward experience. Additionally, the holders would allocate The Salvage (an advantage) and The Sabotage (a disadvantage) to the bottom two teams of the non-elimination leg.
  • At random intervals, new teams would be introduced at the start of specific legs. These teams would be referred to as stowaway teams.

Additionally, unlike other versions of The Amazing Race and previous seasons of The Amazing Race Australia, the first team to arrive at a U-Turn was required to use it. In other versions, this decision was optional for all teams, unless it was used by a team who arrived earlier).

A new twist called the T-Junction was announced in pre-season press but did not appear this season. The T-Junction would have been similar to an Intersection, but with all remaining teams split into two larger teams for the rest of the leg. The first team to arrive at the T-Junction would create both super-teams. The second super-team to arrive at the Pit Stop would then have to choose one team from the group to eliminate.[25]

Casting edit

Casting for the fifth season of The Amazing Race Australia initially opened during the finale week of the previous season on 2 December 2019.[27] As the number of coronavirus cases began to decline across much of the country and some states started the process of reopening borders,[28] casting resumed on 16 June 2020.[29] Casting was initially set to close on 26 July 2020 but was extended to 2 August 2020.[30][31]

30,000 people applied for this season.[32] Ultimately only 16 teams were chosen to compete โ€“ 14 teams began racing from the first leg with two additional "stowaway teams" entering the competition in the seventh & tenth legs. At 16 teams, this season set the record for the most teams running a season of The Amazing Race.

  •   In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to perform a Marvel Cinematic Universe-inspired stunt by jumping over a flame bar and free-falling 10 metres (33ย ft) to receive their next clue directing them to the Pit Stop: Berrys Bay Lookout, overlooking Sydney Harbour.

Episode summary
  •   At the start of this leg, teams were instructed to fly to Canberra and make their way to Lake Burley Griffin. There, in this leg's first Roadblock, one team member had to ride a Fliteboard for ten seconds while wearing court dress to receive their next clue.
  • Teams then had to travel to Parliament House, where they had to correctly assemble two giant 60-square-metre (650ย sqย ft) puzzles of the flag of Australia and the Australian Aboriginal Flag using fabric strips to receive their next clue from Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly politician Tara Cheyne.
  •   In this season's final Roadblock, both team members had to fly via helicopter to Thredbo, New South Wales. Once there, the team member who did not perform the previous Roadblock had to board a stunt helicopter, climb down a rope ladder to retrieve their next clue, jump into the water and then swim to shore to reunite with their partner.
  • After the second Roadblock, teams had to take the gondola up Mount Kosciuszko to a giant 300-metre (980ย ft) slip and slide at Friday Flat, which they had to ride down while collecting six coloured flags to receive their next clue. Then, at Eagles Nest, teams had to match weird laws with the correct state or territory that they were from, collecting puzzle pieces from the eliminated teams for each correct answer. Once all puzzle pieces were collected, teams had to assemble the puzzle of an Aboriginal Australian group map to receive their final clue, which directed them to the finish line: Mount Kosciuszko Summit.
Additional note
  • Inside Old Parliament House, one team member had to stand in the House of Representatives gallery and memorise an excerpt of the "Kerr's cur" speech, made by former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. They then had to dictate the excerpt without any notes to their partner, who had to use a typewriter to perfectly type out the excerpt. Once approved, one team member had to proceed to the front steps to deliver the lines to receive their next clue. This task was unaired in the episode.[50]

Notes
  1. ^ The final episode was coded into two programs โ€“ "Grand Finale" and "The Finish Line". Because of this, two separate sets of ratings were produced.

Critical response edit

The twist to introduce two new "stowaway" intruder teams was not received well by many viewers of the show.[26] In response to the criticism of the stowaway twist, Beverley McGarvey stated, "In an ideal world, would we have done things a little bit differently? Absolutely."[99]

On 10 October 2019 the show s renewal was announced at the 2020 upfronts prior to the premiere of the previous season 4 with the second season from Network 10 initially set to air in late 2020 5 After production of the thirty third season of the American edition of The Amazing Race was halted in February 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic questions were raised over whether a new Australian edition would be filmed later in the year 6 A Network 10 spokesperson later stated that the network was seeking advice to create a safe route and establish proper safety measures 7 Host Beau Ryan stated on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that the season would not be cancelled but the outbreak had caused producers to change the season s route twice and that the season could film only in Australia if the outbreak worsened 8 The initially planned international route for this season included visits to India Brazil and Europe 9 On 11 March a Network 10 spokesperson confirmed that the season would film only in Australia 10 11 Filming was set to occur between June and July 2020 12 but was postponed due to interstate travel restrictions 13 Beverley McGarvey the chief content officer and executive vice president of ViacomCBS in Australia and New Zealand stated that the network was committed to filming the season once state borders reopened 14 In an interview on Studio 10 Beau Ryan stated that the show created COVID safety officers contestants and crew members would be regularly tested and provided with personal protective equipment and the show would be travelling to areas with lower populations to reduce personal interactions 15 According to Beau Ryan production would take place over eight to nine weeks starting in late September with a two week quarantine before filming and Victoria and Western Australia would be hard to include due to border and lockdown restrictions 16 17 The planned legs in Western Australia were to be Perth Rottnest Island and Broome but were

mechanics the First Class Pass and Stowaway teams 25 26 The First Class Pass was awarded to the first place team of a non elimination leg The recipients would be able to skip the next leg during which

random intervals new teams would be introduced at the start of specific legs These teams would be referred to as stowaway teams Additionally unlike other versions of The Amazing Race and previous seasons of The Amazing Race Australia the first team to arrive at a U Turn was required to use it In other versions this decision was optional for all teams unless it was used by a team who arrived earlier A new twist called the T Junction was announced in pre season press but did not appear this season The T Junction would have been similar to an Intersection but with all remaining teams split
