Australia is blessed with some of the world’s weirdest competitions. Every town you visit has a race or toss or bake-off that couldn’t exist anywhere else.
We love a competition, but which competition is Australia’s BEST competition?
This is the question triple j’s Lewis Hobba and Michael Hing set out to answer in Australia’s Best Competition Competition which premieres on ABC TV Plus and ABC iview, Thursday October 27 at 8.30pm.
The journey takes the duo to every corner of the country, taking part in this country’s weirdest, wildest, and sometimes oiliest competitions. From Australian classics like wood chopping and the Archibald Prize, to the speed of street racing, the Turkish oil wrestling and more!
Their high-octane exploits result in a broken limb, a lot of semi-nude embarrassment and at least one legitimate victory.
“For us, entering these competitions resulted in one broken leg and a lot of broken dreams. This show truly highlights the best of Australia and the worst of our hand-eye coordination”, said Hobba and Hing. “We hope this inspires people to go to new places and try new things, but if not, we hope everyone enjoys watching grown men fall over and hurt themselves.”
In this one-hour TV special, Hobba and Hing score each competition they enter using their own patented rating system and present their findings to a live studio audience as well as representatives from each competition.
Who will walk away with the title of Australia’s Best Competition?
