Dominic Di Tommaso (Dom Tomato) and Marx Marsters were clearly the strongest physical contenders on The Amazing Race Australia 2025. But, with the parkour pros gone, who’s the team to beat now?
During an interview with Chattr, Dom pointed out that there’s so much more to being successful on The Amazing Race than just strength, and said he thinks dark horses Georgie Tunny and Rob Mills have a great chance at winning the season.
“I think there are a few teams that I think have a high potential of continuing on. When I was racing, I think Georgie and Rob were always in — even watching it back now as well — they’ve always been in that, like, top little bunch. And I think that they could go all the way.”
Looking back at his time on the race, Dom said that while speed and strength are great assets for The Amazing Race, contestants who take the opportunity to slow down and think about how to approach a task tend to excel.
“I think reading the clues thoroughly is very important. I often will read things out loud and not really register them internally. So I think that’s one thing that’s definitely a big takeaway. I also think, and just like my father says, just like slowing down and making sure that you do make the right choices is, as you saw, hugely important.”
Dom believes Brendan Fevola could win The Amazing Race Australia 2025
Dom also pointed to Brendan Fevola, who he built a great friendship during filming, as someone he believes can make it far in the competition.
“I admire Fev, but I do think when it comes down to competing, even when he comes up against it, he seems to be able to pull through. Whether it’s the predetermined non-elimination episode, the luck of the Fev finds a way. So I’m pretty hopeful that he and Lenny will be able to also take it all the way.”
The professional athlete commented on Brendan’s decision to run back for Gretal and Epiphany Killeen’s forgotten backpacks, a move that cost them valuable time and caused them to fall behind in the race.
“What really took me was Brendan running back and grabbing their bag for them and falling down the muddy hill with it all. I think that he’s been such, not just a standout racer, but a standout person on the race. He was someone who really made us all feel like a family,” Dom said
“He’s someone I admire very much, and so getting to spend that time and create that bond with him was really special for me.”
The Amazing Race Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
