The race is on! Despite COVID-19 wreaking havoc on all our favourite shows, The Amazing Race Australia has persevered through the trials – much like its contestants – and has come out the other side stronger than ever.
But, while we love watching the racers test their limits and defy the odds, only one team can be victorious.

There is $250,000 up for grabs and each team is determined to be the one depositing that cheque at the end of the competition.
Unfortunately, beloved host Beau Ryan can’t split the cash 14 ways, meaning that 13 teams will have to say goodbye before the last pair standing wins that glorious prize.
As we countdown to crowning the winner, here is every single contestant who has left the race.
Kimberley Cousins | Dwes & Katherine
Last to arrive and first to go!
The Kimberley cousins were the first to leave the race after arriving last to the Pitt Stop in Mossman, Queensland. But it wasn’t quite their last hurrah as the pair made a spectacular return in episode three.
However, the cousins’ journey came to its actual end in Coober Pedy, South Australia.
