Kelly & Georgia

Kelly Baildon and Georgia Baildon are a team of Newlywed Teachers on The Amazing Race Australia 6.

Having quit their jobs right before going on the Race, Kelly & Georgia entered with a "win at all costs" mindset. They followed up on this by making several alliances with other teams and Georgia deciding to eat meat during several eating tasks despite being a vegetarian. However, while they won the first leg, they were unable to replicate this success for most of the Race. They would ultimately remain in the middle of the pack for seven consecutive legs until they contracted COVID-19 in Türkiye and were thrown into isolation.

When they returned in Belize, Kelly & Georgia struggled to re-adapt to the Race, with the couple bickering more and working less in sync with each other due to Kelly overestimating Georgia's physical abilities and the two of them struggling with tasks that were outside their skillsets as teachers. They even made a nearly costly mistake in the penultimate leg when Kelly left their passports at a task, forcing them to backtrack all the way to the task location to recover it. In spite of their newfound struggles however, Kelly & Georgia managed to rebound, eventually winning two more legs prior to the finale.

In the finale, they got off to a rocky start after bickering at the Chinese Chopsticks challenge. While they were able to catch up to all of the other teams and even remain in 2nd place for a big stretch of the finale, Kelly struggled at the sandcastle Roadblock. This ended up being the final nail in the coffin for their journey, and they finished the Race in 3rd place.

Kelly and Georgia are newlyweds who are all about adventure. They have jumped out of planes, swam with sharks and climbed volcanoes. They love to travel, creating and posting videos about their journeys on YouTube. Together they have been to the Philippines three times, Indonesia twice and Singapore. Georgia has travelled throughout Europe and Asia, and Kelly has travelled to the USA and Asia.

Both are used to being the leader due to their jobs as teachers, but when together, Georgia gives the directions, and Kelly takes the directions! They are extremely competitive and hate losing with a passion. Winning would help set up a life for themselves and a future family.

Get to know Kelly[]

Where have you lived? I have lived most of my life in Australia. I was born on the Gold Coast and then moved overseas to England for a few years as my dad was a professional rugby league player. We then moved back to Australia and I lived in Bundaberg for a couple of years before returning to Brisbane.
What do you think will be your biggest advantage or strength in The Race? My biggest advantage will definitely be my analytical, calculating mentality. I'm a maths teacher so I'm very good at identifying the steps needed to solve a problem, and then calculating a solution.
