Season 11 of The Amazing Race is set to premiere on Sunday, February 18 at 8pm ET. For those of you who haven’t heard, it’s an all-star edition, featuring notable teams from previous seasons. The cast:
TEAM SEASON PLACING
Joe & Bill season 1 3rd place
Kevin & Drew season 1 4th place
Oswald & Danny season 2 4th place
Teri & Ian season 3 2nd place
John & Jill season 3 5th place
Charla & Mirna season 5 6th place
Uchenna & Joyce season 7 1st place
Rob & Amber season 7 2nd place
Eric & Danielle season 9 2nd/7th place (mixed team)
Dustin & Kandice season 10 4th place
David & Mary season 10 6th place
So. Some fan favorites, clearly, as well as some teams with…heatedly mixed reviews (three guesses as to which one I mean). An odd choice with David & Mary (IMO) and one team that’s a mix of two previous teams. And, I should point out, only one previous winner. Luckily no Jonathan, though.
It seems to me that the competition should be intense: everyone’s gone through this before, and there are no real dud teams here. As a point of discussion, I wonder if the early-season teams will be at a disadvantage, since the Race and the strategy has been refined from season to season.
