History Characters / TheAmazingRaceAustralia6

The cast, despite the wide disparity in skill level, contains several very well-liked teams, some of whom are the most well-liked in the entire Australian spin-off despite the lessened inter-team interactions from the previous season. They took a more ambitious course this time around, taking initiative to do the rare gamble of visiting all 6 habitable continents. Unfortunately this came at the cost of several teams having to take COVID breaks which not only meant they were well-rested, but the poor design caused the eliminations of two fan-favorite teams. Beau Ryan was clearly sliding back into old habits of showing off for the cameras which culminated when he caught COVID and would cut to him in the hotel room mid-race. He was temporarily replaced with a robot and later, Scott Tweedle, both of whom were seen as better hosts than him. The cast was vocally competitive in their desire to win, and proved it with their urgency and willingness to take huge gambles in their effort to win. The overcrowding of teams caused several teams who fans wanted to see more of to be OutOfFocus. The pacing felt a lot better this time around with more evenly placed non-elimination legs and attempting to have the same number of teams every legs. The suspense was further increased by the frequent footraces both for first and last with interesting elimination methods on several legs. The finale was one of the most poorly received in Australian history, despite the universally beloved winner. Despite having one of the more creative FinalExamFinale challenges in recent years, production put a luck based task right before that, which was the deciding factor of the finale by a longshot. This failure was not only noticed, but emphasized by the finale when more focus was put on who would place second once the winners were obvious. While the season had its faults, the overall agreement is the teams made up for where the producers failed and the season was neither a success nor a failure.

* AsianAirhead: Completely averted. Kathy is portrayed as the more rational one of the duo; Chace is multi-lingual and they excel in most challenges.

* BareYourMidriff: At some points in the competition, Angel wears a top that shows off her belly.

* BareYourMidriff: Occasionally, Chelsea would wear outfits that exposed her midriff.

* BareYourMidriff: Both like to wear midriff-baring outfits.

!Introduced in Leg 1 (Started in Melbourne)
!!Chelsea & Jamus
Engaged parents.

* AreWeThereYet: Averted when Chelsea asks this to Jamus...about whether they've finished cracking all their nuts.
* BareYourMidriff: Occasionally, Chelsea would wear outfits that exposed her midriff.
* BigEater: An unwitting example, as they ended up having to eat 39 pies due to screwing up on the Heat Detour the first time.
* DownToTheLastPlay: Chelsea & Jamus managed to beat Heath & Toni to be the first team to check in at Belize. Notably, they decided to take a different route from Heath & Toni to do so.
* FatAndSkinny: Downplayed with Jamus, as he ended up unintentionally damaging the taxi's rear left wheel in Colombia on their way to the La Piedra stair climbing challenge, before deciding to sit in the passenger front seat.
* HairTriggerTemper: See RageQuit.
* MoralityPet: Jamus to Chelsea for the most part.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In Colombia, Chelsea & Jamus handed out some of the cheese arepas to the children on the way to the school. The charity worker forces them to make more of them as a result.
* NoodleIncident: Chelsea mentions to Jamus in Belize last time they went camping, they only camped for 24 hours. Apparently, [[HairTriggerTemper she "packed up everything in a huff and a puff and [they] were outta there"]].
* RageQuit: Chelsea has had roughly a handful of these, going as far as to threaten this upon Jamus, especially with the gevrek challenge and trying to find their taxi following the La Piedra challenge.
* [[ReadTheFreakingManual Read the Freaking Clue]]: The arepa challenge clue said to head to the art school, then feed the kids. Chelsea fed kids on the way to said art school...and [[HairTriggerTemper blamed Jamus for the mistake]].
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Heights and small spaces for Chelsea, who inevitably has to race in one of the highest cities in the world (Bogota) and pass through some narrow caves. She also doesn't like tarantulas.

Barista sisters.

* BareYourMidriff: Both like to wear midriff-baring outfits.
* DisqualificationInducedVictory: In Morocco, after Jake and Holly RageQuit the hat twirling challenge.

* OneSteveLimit: Subverted, as Fliss and Flick both have the first name "Felicity".
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Flick, whose real name is "Felicity". A more downplayed example was that Gabby was also sometimes referred to as "Gabba" by Flick and likewise, Flick was sometimes referred to as "Flicka" by Gabby.
* OwMyBodypart: Flick was somewhat more concerned about her eyelashes than her fake hair before doing the Stunt Roadblock in Morocco. She did clear the challenge, but her lashes weren't unscathed.
-->'''Flick:''' Oh, my lashes!

Country kids.

* AcquiredErrorAtThePrinter: On the speed bump sign at the Belize school, Tottie’s name was spelt without an ‘E’.

Tropes associated with them:

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Jake and Holly arrived first at the pitstop. Unfortunately, they had to sit through a 30 minute penalty and watch every other team check in ahead of them, thus making them eliminated.
* RageQuit: At the hat twirling challenge in Morocco - taking the 30 minute penalty narrowly cost them the Race.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: They don't appear in the intro sequence after the third episode for some reason.

!!Jodie & Claire

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Claire didn’t just clear the jet car challenge, she obliterated it in under 50 seconds!
* GenreSavvy: Claire reminded Jodie that they need to bring their backpacks to check in at the pitstops. In the same leg, Chelsea and Jamus fell behind due to forgetting theirs in the car.

* NoSenseOfDirection: Jodie & Claire consistently relied on passerbys to help steer them in the right direction at times, especially with challenges.

Aunty & niece.

* DownToTheLastPlay: In an emotional finish, Tiffany & Cynthia ended up checking in ahead of Jodie & Claire on the second Belize leg by one millisecond. Fortunately for both teams, [[SubvertedTrope the outcome didn’t matter since]] [[GameBreakingInjury Fliss & Tottie were eliminated involuntarily due to the former’s sprained ankle]].
* ExhaustionInducedIdiocy: Tiffany & Cynthia felt overwhelmed with the heat at the school in Belize (which didn’t help when they were one of the couples without shade), and considered the idea of taking a time penalty, even though this is the same challenge for the returning teams to do a speed bump. Fortunately, they subverted that idea and continued the challenge.
* HoldingHands: Did this with Jodie and Claire in Belize when they realised one team could be eliminated.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer / SickEpisode: Tiffany and Cynthia don’t show up in the Colombia and Belize episodes due to COVID-19 precautions and so disappear from related trailers.
** TheBusCameBack: Tiffany & Cynthia return starting with the second Belize leg.

!Introduced in Leg 2 (Started in Sydney)
!!Angel & Frankie
Church friends.

* BareYourMidriff: At some points in the competition, Angel wears a top that shows off her belly.
* ChekhovsHobby:
** They perform dances on Tiktok and this helped them with the dancing challenges. This was averted when Angel's belief in her "sense of rhythm" led her astray at the Beat Detour (where teams had to play steel drums in time with the band) - Frankie was the only participant of that challenge revealed to have learnt drums.
** Angel has a habit of taking selfies, which allows her to have fun with the Graffiti Art challenge.
* CurbStompBattle: It's discussed in the first Colombia leg most of the teams never saw Angel and Frankie on the Race course, due to how ahead they were after several consecutive wins. This then disappears as they commit some serious errors (such as struggling at the Beat Detour) and more teams are in COVID lockdown and/or eliminated.
* TheDitz: When they were in Athens, Angel thought UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar was Greek.
* DownToTheLastPlay:
** Angel & Frankie overtook Flick & Gabby just as they got out of the car, guaranteeing their fourth first place in a row.
** Angel and Frankie managed to be the second to last team to check in at the first Belize leg with a difference of 25 seconds, eliminating Flick & Gabby.
* InvoluntaryGroupSplit: Angel was stuck at Cancun for part of the Belize leg due to COVID-related travel issues, leaving Frankie to complete the cashew challenge and the glass cleaning roadblock by himself. Notably, Frankie only had to fill half the jar of cashews and Angel caught up to him when a hotel equalizer occurred mid-leg.
* MidBattleTeaBreak: Confident they were first, they briefly stopped at a shoe store in one leg. True to form, they chose [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience orange shoes]].
* PlatonicLifePartners: Pako and Mori mentioned they thought Angel and Frankie were an item and on their way to the Australian plane quiz task, they're (incorrectly) assumed to be partners by the person driving the airport buggy. They decided to arrive on the mat on the second Belize leg by [[PrincessCarry having Angel jump into Frankie's arms]] [[note]]Beau calls them out on the fact they can't sign in without having both team members' feet on the mat[[/note]], which didn't help their case. In the final leg, Frankie finally admits there is a bit of a spark between the two of them.
* RageBreakingPoint: Angel becomes frustrated when the bell keeper tells her and Frankie to “please try again” after a few attempts, to the point that she blurts out a censored F-Bomb.
* RealityShowGenreBlindness: The only team of the final three blindsided by the memory challenge.
* SympathyForTheHero: Angel & Frankie hugged Mori as he was struggling with his fear of vertigo, and they were understandably saddened about Pako & Mori being the next team eliminated via time penalty.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Angel doesn't seem to like stingrays or sharks, to the point she had a panic attack after being in the water with them in Caye Caulker.

!!Bren & Anja
Vegan warriors.

* GenderBlenderName: "Bren" could be short for "Brendan" or "Brenda".
* GoodSamaritan: They helped a bird they saw on the way to the Pit Stop that was struggling to fly.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: They don't appear in the intro sequence after their leg for some reason.

!!Crystal & Reem
Middle Eastern mates.

* ChekhovsSkill: Their profile mentioned they're fluent in Arabic, which was helpful for travelling in Morocco.
* DrivingStick: Failed at this during a self-driving leg and so Reem had to push the car.

!!Heath & Toni
Enduring Love couple (also referred to as "memory makers" on their Ten Play profile). Toni was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and so now the couple are trying to make the most of their time together.

* AscendedToCarnivorism: Toni, a vegan, ate eyeballs and intestines to continue the Race in Colombia.
* BigYes:
** When they were the last team to check in on the second Colombian leg, Heath lets one out after hearing fill-in host Scott Tweedie say [[CatchphraseInterruptus "This is a pre-determined..."]]
** Toni lets out one of her own after learning they were the first team to check in on the second Belize leg.
* ChekhovsHobby: Toni revealed that she has went bike riding plenty of times before in the lead up to the coconut bike roadblock in Belize.
* DownToTheLastPlay: In a race to the pit stop, Heath and Toni managed to check in first ahead of Pako and Mori on the third Belize leg.
* NoIndoorVoice: Heath let his frustrations out during the tejo challenge as he kept missing the target. He also yelled loudly at the end of the Twerk It Detour (even though yelling for that was optional) and at the final finish line.
* PopTheTires: Heath and Toni's cab driver in Colombia unwittingly pops a tyre trying to merge into a lane. Following this setback, the couple decided to go on foot to the market. Fill-in host Scott Tweedie points out that they're the first couple in Amazing Race Australia history to have a popped tyre.
* PrecisionFStrike: Heath drops a censored one during the finale.
* VomitIndiscretionShot:
** Toni ended up visibly vomiting trying to keep down the dinner Roadblock in Colombia. This was also shown in trailers.

Lawyer cousins.

Tropes associated with them:

!!Sam & Alex
Flamboyant friends.

* CampGay / TheDitz:
From [[https://10play.com.au/the-amazing-race-australia/teams/season-3/sam-alex/pa220819lsrpd their profile]]:
--> They call each other and everyone angel, because they can’t remember everyone’s names!
* OneSteveLimit: Averted from their very first day on the Race with Sam & Stu.

!!Sam & Stu
Friends and "mullets".

!!Stuart & Glennon
Friends and Baru mates (meaning they are Indigenous).

* DownToTheLastPlay: Overtook Sam & Stu on the final stretch of the Greek leg, eliminating them.

* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer / SickEpisode: Stuart and Glennon don't show up in the Turkey episodes due to COVID-19 precautions and so disappear from related trailers too.
** TheBusCameBack: Stuart and Glennon return starting with the first Colombian leg.

* NoIndoorVoice: Heath let his frustrations out during the tejo challenge as he kept missing the target. He also yelled loudly at the end of the Twerk It Detour (even though yelling for that was optional).

** Toni also visibly vomited while she was doing the airplane roadblock. Fortunately, she had a vomit bag with her.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Mori has a noted issue of Vertigo in the lead up to the challenge where he and Pako have to try and memorise the six Noongar seasons upside down. It sadly proved to be the team's downfall, as he failed to muster the courage to even try the challenge.

* TwoferTokenMinority: They're indigenous - although their status as such isn't mentioned, you can see indigenous patterns on some of their clothing to indicate this.

* PlatonicLifePartners: Pako and Mori mentioned they thought Angel and Frankie were an item. They decided to arrive on the mat on the second Belize leg by [[PrincessCarry having Angel jump into Frankie's arms]] [[note]]Beau calls them out on the fact they can't sign in without having both team members' feet on the mat[[/note]], which didn't help their case.

* DownToTheLastPlay: In a three-way race to the second Mexico pitstop, Kelly & Georgia managed to outpace Heath & Toni and Angel & Frankie to be the first team to check in.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: Toni ended up visibly vomiting trying to keep down the dinner Roadblock in Colombia. This was also shown in trailers.

* SoreLoser: After learning that they've been eliminated, Kathy throws a fit, claiming that they were one of the stronger teams this season (which isn't completely wrong; they've finished in the top three twice prior), before ultimately throwing her backpack onto the ground in frustration. Somewhat understandable given that a design flaw caused them to lose their lead over other teams (see UnwinnableByMistake / BornUnlucky).

* NoodleIncident: Chelsea mentions to Jamus in Belize last time they went camping, they only camped for 24 hours. Apparently, [[HairTriggerTemper she "packed up everything in a huff and a puff and we were outta there"]].

* ChekhovsSkill: With 15 years’ worth of experience in Dragon Boating, Jodie & Claire managed to avoid capsizing their canoe in the Belize calendar challenge.

* RealMenWearPink: See SickeningSweethearts for Pako's love of romantic movies. For a literal version of this trope, they wear pink tank tops when the weather allows for it. They even refer to themselves as the "pink boys" while falling behind in Colombia, and Beau says this trope word for word about them after the couple checked in at Belize.

** In Turkey, when they learn they have to ride a motorised "magic carpet":

* DownToTheLastPlay: In an emotional finish, Tiffany & Cynthia ended up checking in ahead of Jodie & Claire on the second leg of Belize by one millisecond. Fortunately for both teams, [[SubvertedTrope the outcome didn’t matter since]] [[GameBreakingInjury Fliss & Tottie were eliminated involuntarily due to the former’s sprained ankle]].
* ExhaustionInducedIdiocy: Tiffany & Cynthia felt overwhelmed with the heat at the school in Belize (which didn’t help when they were the one of the couples without shade), and considered the idea of taking a time penalty, even though this is the same challenge for the returning teams to do a speed bump. Fortunately, they subverted that idea and continued the challenge.

* BareYourMidriff: At some points in the competition, Angel wears a shirt that shows off her belly.

* CurbStompBattle: It's discussed in the first Colombia leg most of the teams never saw Angel and Frankie on the Race course, due to how ahead they were after several consecutive wins.
