Cyrell and Eden reveal who the “dark horse” is on The Amazing Race 2024

It's probably not who you're thinking!

The Amazing Race Australia 2024 has seen Chloe Logarzo and Emily Gielnik from The Matilda’s consistently lead the pack. However, eliminated couple Cyrell Paule and Eden Dally have revealed that there’s a different “dark horse” team to watch out for.

During a post-elimination interview with Chattr, Eden and Cyrell said that they believe Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley are in with a chance to win the entire show.

“The dark horses are Brooke and Adam, the blue team,” Eden said. “They came to the mud challenge 20 minutes after us, and they still beat us.”

“Brooke and Adam are one of the teams we underestimated, but I’m telling you, they are a force to be reckoned with. They’re the best,” Cyrell added.

“We definitely underestimated our opponents,” the former MAFS star continued. “Well, some we thought would be tough competition, but others we thought we had it in the bag, and we clearly didn’t!

“That’s why you don’t underestimate anyone, and you don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Eden and Cyrell loved showing a different side to their relationship

Eden and Cyrell are both very well-known reality stars. Eden was in Love Island Australia Season 1 and has competed on SAS Australia, while Cyrell was on MAFS Season 6 and The Challenge: Australia.

One of Cyrell’s most memorable TV moments was when her MAFS co-star Martha Kalifatidis threw a glass of red wine all over her during a particularly dramatic Dinner Party. In that same season, she earned the nickname Cyclone Cyrell.

Cyrell and Eden began dating shortly after her season of MAFS had finished airing, and five months later, they announced that they were having a baby.

The couple split up while Cyrell was pregnant but got back together before their son Boston, now 2, was born.

After going through so much together in the public eye, Cyrell and Eden said it was nice to appear on a reality show where viewers could see their softer side.

“I think everyone has this perception of us, and they associate Cyrell with drama [from past TV shows], so it was nice to show another side of our relationship.”

As Eden and Cyrell ran towards The Amazing Race finish line, they knew they were in last place, but they held hands and ran towards the mat with big smiles on their faces anyway.

“We were just happy to get to that finish line,” Cyrell reflected. “People have this idea about us, that we’re firecrackers or hot heated, which we can be, but at the end of the day, we have a positive relationship.”

The Amazing Race Australia 2024 airs on Mondays and Tuesdays at 7:30pm on Channel Ten and 10Play.
