CBS finally announced the contestants for the All Star Season of The Amazing Race. There are certainly some surprises on the list. Read on for more info.
CBS has finally announced the contestants who will be taking part in the eleventh edition of The Amazing Race. So, you can stop wondering whether Chip and Kim or Jonathan and Victoria made the cut!
Uchenna and Joyce Agu, who won TAR 7, are the only winners to make it as All Stars. Rob and Amber Mariano, who were on the same season and the Agus, will also be making a re-appearance. Rob, who first made reality TV waves on Survivor, said, “This time, we're getting first place. No more second. I'm sick of second place.”
From Season One, we have Team Guido (Joe Baldassare and Steve Bartek) and Drew Feinberg and Kevin O’Connor. Charla Faddoul and Mirna Hindoyan, who made waves in Season Five, will be returning. Hopefully, there won’t be such a focus on Charla’s diminutive size this time. She totally rocks! Mirna, on the other hand, I can do without.
Eric Sanchez and Danielle Turner, who appeared on Season Nine with different partners, have paired up as All-Stars. John Vito Pietanza and Jill Aquilino (Season 3), who were in love while competing the first time around, have since split as a couple but decided to do TAR for old times sake. It proves the old saying that "money is stronger than love," or something like that.
Rounding out the remaining contestants are:
Oswald Mendez & Danilo Jimenez (Season Two)
Teri Pollack & Ian Pollack (Season Three)
Dustin Seltzer & Kandice Pelliter (Season Ten)
David Conley Jr. & Mary Conley (Season Ten)
The Amazing Race All-Stars kicks off on CBS this February 18th. I can’t wait! Honestly, I might start watching TAR again.
