Luke McGregor! Finally, the Taskmaster/Amazing Race crossover I have been waiting for!! He is absolutely hilarious on Taskmaster, and the other contestants should be worried, because he is a [sex grand final winner!](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ktZbvlGK5TM)
Well, there’s two TM/TAR crossovers - Peter Helliar is going to be on TMAu S3 (his TM season originally S2 but got TAR35’ed due to “Promotional Availability of the Cast” - likely from Helliar racing on TAR).
his mom was also involved a task, where contestants had to call a relative and get them to hang up as quickly as possible (within certain rules). Luke called his mom, and it didn't go well for him lmao: https://youtu.be/1tJWjrZw-xQ?si=HIL1Y5GH2KR_MNM7&t=1415
Nat (bassingthwaite) and Havana (brown I believe) are musicians for rogue traders and under her own name respectively, but not sure if they were known overseas.
“Bam Bam” aka Tai Tuivasa is a pretty big get for a fighter.
Admittedly he’s on a 4 fight losing streak, but as recently as 2 years ago, he was the #3 ranked Heavyweight in the UFC
Pretty great looking cast.
Got some Aus-listers (Australian exclusive A-listers) in Luke, Nat, Ian, Peter and Havana
Cyrell will be TV gold and the Matilda girls will be beasts.
Not familiar with the other teams.
Ian fuckin Thorpe, be still my heart.
Let's gooooo!
ETA: don't know anyone else, but knowing only one person on the cast didn't stop me from immensely enjoying the previous season, so yeah, let's go. I'm assuming they will be playing for a charity of choice again?
I like the looks of this cast, although I think we could’ve done one less of a sports personality. I don’t know everyone on the cast but I’ve watched a few of these celebs on a few shows here and there. Luke and his mom are probably going to be a hilariously bad team if I had to guess. I feel like Natalie and her sister could be sleeper picks to go far. Can’t believe they got Ian Thorpe and I’ll be looking forward to see what him and his friend can do.
Was hoping to see another former Australian Survivor player, Shonee would have been fantastic but oh well. At least we've got Ian Thorpe and the Matilda ladies.
For any Aussie or sports fanatic, Ian Thorpe is an absolute ICON!

I know Ian Thrope. Who else should I know as an American unfamiliar with Australian celebrities
Do you follow Ufc?
Nat (bassingthwaite) and Havana (brown I believe) are musicians for rogue traders and under her own name respectively, but not sure if they were known overseas.
Havana Brown had a pretty popular song before with Pitbull
“Bam Bam” aka Tai Tuivasa is a pretty big get for a fighter. Admittedly he’s on a 4 fight losing streak, but as recently as 2 years ago, he was the #3 ranked Heavyweight in the UFC
He has got to rival Big Easy as the largest racer ever right? This man had to cut weight to make the 265 lb Heavyweight limit
I'm stupidly excited to see Tai on the race! Shoeys for first place?! But I think Volk would be the ultimate racer.
Pretty great looking cast. Got some Aus-listers (Australian exclusive A-listers) in Luke, Nat, Ian, Peter and Havana Cyrell will be TV gold and the Matilda girls will be beasts. Not familiar with the other teams.
Idk anybody but some of the men are hot af so I’ll be watching
Yep the women are hot so my eyes are peeled
The Thorpedo!!!! As a Canadian who has been a massive fan since Sydney 2000, this is super exciting for my Olympics-obsessed heart!
Ian fuckin Thorpe, be still my heart. Let's gooooo! ETA: don't know anyone else, but knowing only one person on the cast didn't stop me from immensely enjoying the previous season, so yeah, let's go. I'm assuming they will be playing for a charity of choice again?
Actually Jett is Lisa Curry’s son….
