Are you ready to feel the rush?
In a television first, viewers at home have watched as teams made up of everyday folks are thrust into chaotic scenarios, during cultural festivities around the globe, all whilst deprived of their sight and sound.
The show we're referring to? That would, of course, be Rush Australia.
Watch the trailer for No Hard Feelings. Story continues after post.
The aim is for teams to race against one another, hoping to arrive at the 'safe zone' first and be crowned victorious, whilst decoding cryptic messages from the host David Genat.
And the weirdest part? Teams are dropped into crowd madness wearing noise-cancelling headphones and blackout goggles, waiting for instructions from 'Golden God' David. Sounds fun right?
If you're a fan of reality TV, specifically Aussie reality TV then you'll likely remember David's face from his appearance on various programs – but none have come close to his victorious season of Australian Survivor.
Rush covers ground in Thailand, Turkey, Brazil and India just to name a few, and along the way there have been a couple of teams that have stood out from the rest.
It's giving big Amazing Race vibes, but the question we all want to know is who the heck won this weird and whacky competition!?
Without further ado, let's introduce you to this year's winner.
Who is the winner of Rush 2023?
Last night David Genat, or as the show refers to him "DG" bestowed eternal glory and $100,000 dollars and two first-class tickets around the world to none other than Hamish Collins.
But it's what the 29-year-old winner plans to do with his cash that's surprising us all!
After finding out he was indeed this season's winner, Hamish shared his thoughts, “I had so many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities through this show,” he said. “Travelling, that’s living my dream, so I will be donating some of it to charity. I’ll be donating to the Make a Wish Foundation because I’d love to use that money to make others’ dreams come true,” according to Media Week.
Hamish went on to explain he would be using a portion of the money to clear some of his student debt, considering he has just completed an MBA.
The winner went on to thank his family for his love of travel and most importantly his grandmother.
“She’s done so much travelling in her life and she’s just about to turn 97. I will take her out for a very special memorable lunch,” said Hamish.
It's safe to say that the money has gone to a very deserving winner and we can't wait to see what he does next.
