The Amazing Race Australia 6
The Amazing Race Australia 6 is the sixth season of The Amazing Race Australia, an Australian reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race and the third instalment of Network 10's iteration of the show. The season featured the largest cast in Amazing Race History with twenty teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world to win the grand prize of A$250,000 and two new cars. Beau Ryan returned as the regular host, with presenter Scott Tweedie guest hosting for episodes 8–11 after Ryan caught COVID-19 during filming.
Development and filming
On 20 October 2021, Network 10 announced at upfronts that a new season was set to air in the second half of 2022. Unlike the previous season, which filmed solely in Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions, Beverley McGarvey, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer of Paramount Global Australia and New Zealand, stated that she intended for the show to resume travelling internationally again after the American version resumed international travel for their 33rd season in September 2021. On 2 February 2022, Daniel Monaghan, 10's Head of Programming, reaffirmed that the show would still be filming internationally as the Omicron surge began to subside.
Casting
Casting for the season began in early November 2021. Contestants were required to be fully vaccinated with filming expected to occur from February 2022 over four to seven weeks.
Marketing
Isuzu, UBank, Kathmandu and Merrell served as sponsors for this season.
The cast was revealed on 22 August 2022. In 2023, Jake O'Brien and Holly MacAlpine appeared on the sixth season of MTV's Ex on the Beach. In 2024, O'Brien appeared on the second season of FBoy Island Australia.
