Havana Brown and Stephanie Wood were in the lead on leg six of The Amazing Race 2024 until they reached the Road Block challenge, which required them to find 28 teeth buried within a square of dirt.
While some of the remaining The Amazing Race cast sailed through the challenge, Stephanie struggled to find the last few teeth, which saw them drop into last place and be eliminated from the competition.
However, during an exclusive interview with Chattr, Havana and Stephanie shared just how well their particular teeth were buried.
“I feel like the other teams that were finding it really easy, [the teeth] were just floating towards the top,” Havana said. “I saw Stephanie work so hard to dig out our entire hole.”
“She went through all the different parts of the dirt multiple times. So, it was just strange that we weren’t able to find that too. Very unlucky.”
Havana revealed that their competitors, Ian Thorpe and Christian Miranda, risked their own spot in the game by helping the women look for the missing teeth.
“You didn’t see this on the screen, but Thorpey and Christian, before they left, they spent a good 10-15 minutes helping Stephanie try to find the tooth, and they couldn’t find it.”
“It was so kind of them,” Stephanie added.
Havana Brown and Stephanie Wood reveal how close The Amazing Race cast were
Havana revealed that she and Stephanie built a very close relationship with both Christian and Ian and Matilda’s players Chloe Logarzo and Emily Gielnik.
“Chloe came out and played soccer with my daughter recently,” Stephanie said. “She hosted a little soccer clinic for my daughter and her friends.”
“The Tillies [Matildas] we regularly with and keep in contact with. We’re trying to organise a time for them to come to one of my shows so we can all catch up,” Havana added.
The Australia DJ said that the cast has a WhatsApp group where they discuss the episodes together and added that she’s recently spent time with Ian.
“I think we’ve made some lifelong friends out of it, which is really great. It’s such a cool crew of cast,” she said.
“Everyone got along very well. There were so many comedians. I mean, Adam [Eckersley] and Brooke [McClymont] and Peter and Bridge [Helliar] are so funny, especially when you’re exhausted; they definitely kept the vibe high.”
With so many new friends left in the game, who are Havana and Stephanie hoping will win The Amazing Race Australia 2024?
“To be honest, I want everyone to win. But obviously, they can’t, so I’d like the Matilda’s girls to win — for girl power,” Havana said.
Considering Chloe and Emily have a few race wins under their belt already, an overall win could very well be on the cards for them!
The Amazing Race Australia 2024 airs on Mondays and Tuesdays at 7:30pm on Channel Ten and 10Play.
