Trans-tasman showdown starts today


Positive and perky Amazing Race hopefuls Emily and Jono Trenberth may seem like sweeties at first but underneath lies a fierce competitive streak which they hoped to use to their advantage.

This year’s Amazing Race pits New Zealand against Australia in a trans-Tasman showdown.

The teams are out to win but this time they also carry their nation’s pride on their shoulders.

Teams follow clues in a race around the world, crossing ten countries. The winner of the series is the first team to finish the final leg and collect the grand prize of $250,000.

The Christchurch duo were nicknamed the ‘Von Trapps’ during filming because of a habit of breaking out into song and dance at odd times.
