- Source: Ultimate Tag (Australian TV series)
Ultimate Tag was a short-lived Australian sports entertainment obstacle course competition based on the American series of the same name which premiered on Seven on 7 March 2021. Following the premise of the original version, the format was based on the game of tag and involved contestants running through various indoor obstacle courses while professional taggers attempt to catch them. Abbey Gelmi and Matt Shirvington hosted the series, with Bill Woods as commentator.
After three episodes, the series was moved to Channel Seven’s sister channel 7flix due to unexpectedly low viewership. Seven conceded the series failed to resonate with audiences and would not be returning for a second season, and was eventually cancelled shortly afterwards.
Format
The competition took place across six Heats, three Semi-Finals and the Grand Final, with every course and run becoming more difficult and challenging. The courses included Survival Tag, Gravity Tag, Revenge Tag, The Wall, Stealth Tag, Dodge Tag, The Alley and The Vortex. The winner of the series would receive $100,000, but the prize was amazingly never won.
Production
In July 2020, it was announced that Seven Network had purchased the rights to the series and would will making their own version of the show for Australian audiences in 2021. Auditions were open between July & August 2020. The series was officially confirmed by Seven at their annual upfronts in October 2020, produced by Endemol Shine Australia and with Abbey Gelmi and Matt Shirvington announced as hosts and Bill Woods as commentator.
