[A few tidbits](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100121/ap_en_tv/us_tv_amazing_race16) about the next _Amazing Race_, which probably starts after the Olympics. Overpacking? Boy, there’s a mistake even the most clueless don’t usually make. Detectives, eh? ---

Oh, god…Miss Teen South Carolina (“People in Iraq need maps”) is on this season! Am I a bad person for anticipating at least as much entertainment from her cluelessness as from Jordan’s? Those two in close proximity may just create a black hole of anti-intelligence… ---

Sounds like fun. Anyone want to start placing bets on when the athletic bull riders pull a big blunder and get Philiminated? Because I have a feeling that will happen. ---

I wonder if they’ll go to such as the Iraq. ---

I love this show, because it does so much to reinforce what the rest of the world thinks of Americans. That’s not a good thing, BTW. ---

I wonder how many of the cast knew where (or what) the Seychelles are. Admittedly, I had to think about it for a a few seconds before it dawned on me where they are. ---

More details on the CBS page: [http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing\_race/bio/](http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/bio/) There’s only two young couples and most of the teams are 40+. This could either be a real interesting season or a real boring season with two/three teams dominating every single time. ---

I notice that they have the requisite gay couple as usual. ---

Ooo! I’m glad I saw this; I had assumed the next season wouldn’t start until September. ---

I’m sure we’ve had a lesbian team before, but I can’t remember if they were a couple or not. ---

Those were the lesbian priests, right? Looking forward to the new season. As someone on the far side of 40, I’m glad to see more mature teams. Should be fun! ---

From the headline: “dectectives”?? Does anyone remember how to spell anymore? I wish they’d put it back on Tuesday night. Why does it always have to be Sundays? ---

There was another Yahoo! article on the race a couple of days ago, more about the pageant woman then anyone else. I can’t wait for it to start. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/first-peek-at-the-next-amazing-race-cast/525835.md?page=2)
