Feb. 13th, 2006 12:09 pmYour TV is claiming that Channel 7 are going to broadcast TAR9 starting March 2nd, which would be only 2 days after it starts in the US. Anyone else heard more on this?
The article:
Race heads Down Under
It's good news for fans of The Amazing Race - the incredible journey with a $US1 million prize at the finish line is returning to Australian screens.
Race devotees were left in the dark when the Seven network held off on airing the eighth season of the reality show, which featured families of four zipping around the US - a twist on the usual format, in which teams of two journey to every corner of the world.
The series will make a welcome return when Seven begins broadcasting the ninth season - which returns to the classic teams-of-two set-up - on Thursday, 2 March, just days after it premieres in the United States.
Australian fans have an extra reason to look forward to the new season after Race contestants were spotted at Western Australia's Rottnest Island in November.
Kiwi Phil Keoghan, The Amazing Race's well-travelled host, will make another trip Down Under when he travels to Melbourne later this year to compete in the Grand Prix's celebrity race.
And Phil's going to drive in the Celebrity Race?!? Hm, might actually be tempted to tune in again this year then.
