Beloved Below Deck star Aesha Scott is currently competing on The Amazing Race Australia 2025 with her fiancé Scott Dobson, and they’ve been gliding through challenges with ease. The adorable couple have been taking all the road bumps in their stride, and Aesha tells Chattr her time working on superyachts could give them the edge on their competition.
“On Below Deck, I’m used to trying to complete an hour’s worth of jobs in 10 minutes simultaneously, so working in high stress is my usual fare,” Aesha says. “I think that will help a lot with the race, as you are trying to figure out so much on a huge time crunch!”
The couple have plenty of strengths and has come into the race with confidence.
“I think we can win because we are both pretty all-round capable people who are very competitive,” Aesha admits. “That mixed with a good nose for figuring out new places will do us well, I think.”
It can be risky for a couple in a relationship to compete on The Amazing Race Australia, because you’re put into high-stress situations. In other words, it can really be make or break. However, Aesha believes she will come out of The Amazing Race Australia with a stronger bond with Scott.
“I am so excited to be doing this race! I’ve dreamed of being in the race since I was 13, a long-time fan of the show, so this opportunity is totally surreal. I chose to do it with Scott because we have always had travel and adventure as the centre of our relationship, and what better test of our bond before we get married,” Aesha says.
“I think this is the show where couples are either driven together or torn apart. I’m really, really hoping for the former. I have high hopes, Scott taught me how to paraglide, and that’s a pretty high-stress situation.”
Will Aesha Scott’s fiancé take her last name and become Scott Scott?
Aesha and Scott are set to tie the knot soon, and she says competing on The Amazing Race Australia felt like a pre-honeymoon.
The biggest question fans have, though, is whether Scott will take Aesha’s last name and become Scott Scott. The couple have joked about it in the past, and with the wedding around the corner… are these two going to do the funniest thing ever?
“We had planned to do that for years, but as the date is getting closer, I think Scott is realising how annoying it would be for forms and cards, and everyone thinks you made a mistake,” Aesha spills.
“I feel a change of mind coming, and we will probably just keep our last names.”
We’re still holding out hope. Do it for the plot, Scott Scott!
The Amazing Race Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
