The Amazing Race Australia 2025 is underway, and 13 teams of Australian celebrities are gallivanting around the globe in the hope of winning the prize for their chosen charity.
Among this year’s cast are Brendan Fevola and his daughter Leni, Dessert Masters host Melissa Leong and her friend Leah Wilson and Below Deck icon Aesha Scott and her fiancé Scott Dobson.
Each team has chosen a charity to represent, and whichever team crosses the finish line first will win $100,000 for their cause.
Tai ‘Bam Bam’ and Logan Tuviasa won The Amazing Race Australia 2024 and donated their prize to the Sydney Region Aboriginal Corporation.
“I used to work for them,” Tai told Chattr at the time. “I used to run a men’s group, and used to look after men down there. So we do a lot of work with the community, so I was really familiar with them. I had been doing a lot of football stuff with them.”
But with eliminations happening almost every episode, some celebrities are already losing their chance at snagging the winner’s title and the prize money.
Read on to find out who has left The Amazing Race Australia 2025 so far.
Who has been eliminated from The Amazing Race Australia so far?
Stop eleven – Gretel Killeen and Epiphany Mason
At stop eleven in Taiwan, Gretel Killeen and her daughter Epiphany Mason arrived last to the mat and were eliminated from the competition. Despite their departure, they remained positive while reflecting on their journey in the race.
“This has never been about coming first; it’s about staying in the race and having as many experiences as we possibly can,” Gretel told Beau. “As well as bringing some attention to women’s health so people are aware it’s been neglected for so long — we wanted to shine a light on that.”
Stop ten – non elimination
Stop ten saw The Amazing Race contestants head to Taiwan, and Steve and Bernie Curry were the last contestants who made it to the mat. Luckily, for them, it was a non-elimination round, and the brothers were left to race another day.
Stop nine – Melissa Leong and Leah Wilson
Melissa and Leah looked like they had a chance to stay in The Amazing Race Australia after Steve and Bernie Curry took a time penalty during a dance challenge, but even with that advantage, they still arrived at the mat in last place.
“Not going to sugarcoat it, it absolutely sucks,” Melissa told Beau. “It just goes to show you can have all of the heart in the world, and sometimes the odds aren’t in your favour.”
Stop eight – non elimination
Aesha and Scott were devastated when they arrived at the mat in last place during their time racing in Sri Lanka. Luckily, the pair were saved as it was a predetermined non-elimination leg.
Stop seven – Brendan and Leni Fevola, and Lindy and Stella Klim
Sadly, we lost two incredible parent-daughter duos on The Amazing Race Australia’s seventh leg due to illness. Fan-favourite Brendan Fevola set off on this leg solo, after his daughter Leni was too sick to race. Viewers were in awe of his determination to push through for his charity, as he faced his phobia of the ocean and dealt with heatstroke.
When he finally arrived at the mat, he was elated to learn he had come second. However, host Beau revealed this was a virtual pit stop, and Brendan made the tough decision to quit the race.
“On the race, you really need someone with you, someone to cheer you on, pick you up. You just need that person next to you, and I didn’t have that today,” he explained. “I just don’t think I can do this on my own. I’ve used all my tickets, man. I think I’m gonna have to check out, go home to my kid, take her home to her mum and sisters.”
Lindy and Stella were hoping to push through and make it to the eighth leg, but Stella struggled during a challenge and had a dizzy spell. The medics suggested the pair pull out from The Amazing Race Australia, which was tough.
“We’ve had a great time, it’s been so special doing it with Stella,” Lindy told producers. “I’m really fortunate that we had this experience that we could do together.”
Stop six – Dom ‘Tomato’ Di Tommaso and Marx Marsters
Dom ‘Tomato’ Di Tommaso and Marx Marsters took a time penalty after struggling with a challenge and it proved to be their downfall. The pair chose ‘Balls’ over ‘Guts’, and it proved to be a bad decision. Dom Tomato and Marx had to create 50 perfect salty yoghurt balls, but after failing to create the right consistency, they took a 30-minute time penalty.
When they arrived at the mat, Beau asked them to wait out their time penalty. With only 30 seconds to go, it looked like Dom Tomato and Marx would slide through by the skin of their teeth, but influencers Lindy and Stella made it to the mat just in time.
Stop five – non elimination
Brendan and Leni were almost cut from The Amazing Race Australia at stop five, but were saved by a predetermined non-elimination leg. Meanwhile, Gretel and Epiphany proved they’re ones to watch by coming first on the mat, with Rob and Georgia coming second.
Stop four – Steph and Ben
Steph and Ben narrowly avoided elimination at stop two, but they met their end at stop four. While they thrived at selling pomegranate juice in the first challenge, thanks to Steph’s confident approach, they fell behind during the second dance challenge.
When they hit the mat shortly after Lindy and Stella, Beau informed them that they were eliminated.
“Brigit Water Foundation is run by our mum,” Steph said. “And it provides water to rural communities and developing countries.”
“It would have been nice to get the money for it, but we’ve had such a good time here anyway,” Ben added.
Stop three – Bronte Campbell and Benfield Lainchbury
Bronte and Benfield chose a door-painting challenge over tile scrubbing, which proved far too time-consuming. Luke and Sassy made the same choice, and the lengthy task ultimately left both teams trailing in last place.
However, Luke and Sassy managed to finish their challenge first, beating Bronte and Benfield to the finish line.
After host Beau Cook confirmed their elimination, Olympian Bronte reflected on the charity they were racing for — Carers Australia — sharing how her own mum dedicates herself to caring for her brother, who lives with cerebral palsy.
Stop two – non elimination
Brendan and Leni narrowly missed out on finishing last on The Amazing Race Australia during episode two, after they took a wrong turn right before the finish line.
Meanwhile, Luke and Sassy and Steph and Ben fell behind during the last challenge and it was Steph and Ben who were last to the Pit Stop. However, luckily for them, it was a pre-determined non-elimination.
Stop one – Ed Kavalee and Tiff Hall
Ed and Tiff fell behind during the Detour challenge, where they had to stack hay into a pyramid tall enough to meet the required height.
After spending a considerable amount of time trying to complete the task, they decided to take a time penalty, which meant they’d have an extra 20 minutes added on after they reached the mat.
Although Ed and Tiff arrived at the mat in 11th place, both Luke and Sassy, along with Lindy and Stella, managed to check in while the pair served their time penalty — ultimately leading to their elimination from the race.
