Josh Garlepp shared footage to his TikTok account recently of two contestants from the 2022 season having to re-do the same scene multiple times for the cameraman.

The contestants were keen to run off to their next destination after reading out directions, only to be told by producers to ‘go again’.

Josh, who was observing the takes, captioned the clip: ‘If anyone says reality TV is real show them this.’

He also captioned the post: ‘No wonder it’s a race, wasted so much time doing takes, I was walking by.’

‘There have been a small number of positive COVID cases detected within the production of The Amazing Race Australia, but filming on the upcoming season has not been impacted,’ the statement read.
