All Stories FeedReturning: The Amazing Race
Phil Keoghan and his team of aggressive racers take to their next race from 7:30pm Thursday July 23rd.
The fourteenth season of The Amazing Race will include five teams of family members, four couples who are married or dating, and two teams of friends.
In addition to their first-ever deaf contestant (23yo college graduate Luke Adams), the cast also includes flight attendants, stuntmen, cheerleaders and a gay father/activist and his screenwriter son, who wrote School of Rock and Year of the Dog.
And it even included a scene with Phil in his underwear. Anything for that Emmy nomination, eh?
This series aired in the US in February.

9:30pm It would have been up against the Footy Show
Yes I’ve seen Luke’s post-show comments. There are at least 3 ‘gay-ish teams’ this season, but only one identified. But probably four if you ask me!!!
Not the first deaf competitor. A competitor on the Amazing Race Asia was the first deaf competitor in The Amazing Race franchise. Interestingly, though, there have been complaints from the deaf participant that he wasn’t allowed to express that he also happens to be gay, because producers already had a ‘gay’ team. Interesting little snippit in passing.
Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of the teams for the new series on aussie tv next week!
Thanks
Not only is the writer of School of Rock here, but he acted in it too! David you should’ve mentioned that!!
For all those who watched it, ‘Ned Schneebly’ is in the race!!
Now all we need is a midget competitor and an amputee competitor… Oh wait we’ve ticked those boxes… Ok I think we’re up to the transvestite nun…
@Adam. No they didn’t come to Australia. They do go to NZ though
@KT
No it isn’t in HD.
Absolutely love TAR!
But what a shock – a team of Blonde Girls!!!!!
Yes!!! And it’s on during prime time as well!
Yes, excellent. Fantasic news!! This has made my day.
thank goodness! Amazing Race is probably the only US show that I watch on aussie TV.
I think they came to adelaide….
730 was always a bit too early for me, I normally forget to tape it.
@KT: If this season is in HD, then how could it be in 4:3 as opposed to 16:9, unless they decided to cut off the sides.
Woohoo. Already seen it also but I’ll watch again, as it was a fantastic season. The Russian legs are the best.
@ Daniel.
Nope. It aired in the States in 4:3
Is this one in at least widescreen? >_>
Finally! And thank goodness it’s 7:30 Thu and not 8:30.
This season is really good. I will be watching again, and not just for Phil in his undies! They’ve tweaked the filming/editing style (including updated credits) and it’s done in HD now, so it looks absolutely fantastic. Some of the scenes are breathtaking.
Why oh why can’t people use Search and / or Tag functions readily available to help me help you?
Reality check: Where are Survivor and Amazing Race?
It’s about time Survivor was screened. Why oh why can’t somebody at this site investigate this matter?
Dino: no.
I saw the ad for the first time last night and got excited. Great thats it got a 7.30 timeslot also. What will be following it at 8.30 when Grey’s finishes? One of those terrible new shows??
Excellent news.
Is there any chance it will be a double ep premiere? I noticed nothing has been announce for the 8.30 slot yet, with Grey’s vacating it the week before.
7.30pm timeslot WOO!
Can’t wait
@ Nathan: won’t matter whether we watch it or not, it’s the people with the people-meters who ultimately decide the fate of shows.
And like Gerrard, I’ve already seen it. Seven takes waaaaay too long.
I have to agree with Zambora. It is long overdue. Good to see thgat it is in the Competitive timeslot of 7.30 Thursday’s. It will be interesting to see how it competes with Ch9 Getaway.
Better late than never. Excellent timeslot, I never thought it suited the 9.30 (or later) timeslots.
Now to keep it at 7.30, we all better watch it guys! No complaining if it gets bumped!!!
Already seen the season so I won’t be watching. But the season’s pretty good, just like all the other Amazing Race seasons.
@ Channel 7, stop making cheap reality TV like Beauty and the Geek, and World’s Strictest Parents, and start making good shows like this.
That will be shocking to see Phil in his underwear…he always looks like he’s packing something deadly in there.
Yahoo! Thank you channel 7….bringing the amazing race show back on!
That’s great news for TAR fans like me!
About bloody time.
