The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition 2025 ft. Gretel

Some piss poor planning in that ep with the fish drying and net untangling one after another in full sun in 38C heat. They should have rigged up shade cloths for the net untangling. 15 minutes in that kind of sun and I'd be fried and passing out. I've lived in that climate for nine years now and don't even go out between 10am and 4pm when it's sunny, unless it's very brief. So that was a shame, and also for Fev and Leni.
 
Oop. Two teams are gone. It was sad that Fev had to go out that way. He would probably have held on if it wasn't a virtual pit stop. Leni may have recovered then from her illness by the next leg. I really thought Fev was going to win this year. I thought he was getting a winner's edit. Shows what I know. 😆

Gretel sounded exhausted when she and Epiphany made it to the mat. I suspect there will be an extra non-elimination episode coming up because of the unexpected double drop out. On Wiki, it says they had 15 legs, so does that mean 15 episodes? Last night was episode 7 and there are now six teams left.

Next episode is Sunday at 7:00.
 
Shame to see Gretel and Epiphany squander their lead with a poor face painting performance. But they're still in with a chance.

I'm reading Gretel's book The Night My Bum Dropped, but it's hard going. It's vaguely amusing at best and painful at worst. It's going to be a struggle to finish. Some of the reviews are pretty damning, too, so I'm not alone.
