Returning: The Amazing Race

The Amazing Race returns to Seven next month, potentially with $2M on offer.

The Amazing Race returns to Seven next month, on a new night.

It begins at 10:15pm Monday October 8, a week after its US premiere.

There’s potentially $2M on offer, but with a catch.

“Double Your Money”
The Amazing Race is back for its 21st season, but this year there is a new twist that will raise the stakes for the entire race. If the Team that wins the first leg of the season can outrace the other 10 Teams and win the final leg of the Race, they will double their money and win a $2 million grand prize instead of $1 million. Teams will travel through three continents, nine countries and cover more than 25,000 miles, where they’ll be faced with a 10-story rappel in Los Angeles, frying an egg on their heads in Indonesia, working as ‘rat collectors’ in Bangladesh and revisiting one of the Race’s most infamous Roadblocks in the Netherlands in this season’s ‘Switchback.’

  1. I’ve seen 3 different start times for TAR tonight – 10.15, 10.20 and 10.30 – I guess I’ll set my timer for 10pm-12pm and hope it’s there somewhere in the middle!

  2. @ MuchoTB, Seven are advertising Once as coming soon to Wednesdays, I think it will take the 7:30pm Wednesday timeslot, with only factuals being scheduled there at the moment.

  3. 10.15….will no doubt run late….get stuffed Seven, i’ll watch elsewhere. They have an Australian version, how can they possibly treat the US one like crap and expect people to then watch the Aussie one?

  4. Good to see it back, but I would have preferred to see the show on a Wednesday or Thursday night or in an earlier timeslot over on 7mate. I guess I will have to record it & watch it the next day.

  5. Wasn’t it only a couple days after US air date last season? Weird that with all the fast tracking hype going on recently that they’re going to be slower with TAR than they were last season.

  6. So happy to have it back. But its on so late. I really hope 7 will repeat it on the weekend. That’s one good thing about Nine is that they usually repeat some shows on a Sunday.
