Teams for Amazing Race 10 revealed...
I have not seen pictures of the teams posted yet anywhere (not even the CBS website).
I have yet to miss a season of this show although last year I had to use the DVR to record all of the season and wasn't able to watch it live. http://www.zap2it.com/tv/news/zap-am...news-headlines Diverse Cast Embarks on 'Amazing Race' Show's 10th edition includes Muslim team, amputee July 15 2006 PASADENA, Calif. -- The 10th edition of "The Amazing Race" will kick off with one of the most diverse groups of teams the show has ever had. The Emmy-winning series, which moves to Sundays in the fall, will feature 12 teams this time, up from the usual complement of 11. Racers include the show's first-ever Muslim team -- a pair of Browns-loving best friends from Cleveland -- along with an Indian-American couple, an amputee (Sarah Reinertsen) who competes in triathlons and a father and his lesbian daughter. And, yes, there are a couple of models, as well as a pair of Miss USA contestants. "The range in this cast is remarkable," host Phil Keoghan told reporters Saturday at the Television Critics Association press tour. "We've never had such a broad spectrum of people." The 12 teams will be put to the test right away, executive producers Bertram Van Munster and Jonathan Littman say. Instead of "easing in" to the competition by sending the teams Spoiler:

With NBC having Sunday Night Football, it means that for the first time I will not be able to watch TAR as it airs. :sad:

The oldest person is 52. That's good.

Miss California USA - Dustin-Leigh Konzelman

It really is heart warming to know that Reality TV is providing former Miss USA contestants a way to extend their 15 minutes.

Miss California looks scary. Miss New York looks decent.

:thumbsup: to more amazing race. I can't wait although which one of these groups are going to bring the funny. I'm betting the tour company owner.

It will be interesting to hear from them as to why they think their relationship will improve by participating on the Amazing Race. |
I read that Sarah Reinertsen has an artifical leg!
Ms. California looks like Allison from BigBrother (and TAR). |
It's always interesting to see who will race, but it is nothing compared to actually watching the first episode. It's hard to get a good read on the teams from what you read in their bios.
|
How will the Muslim team do their five prayers each day? From what I know about Islam, there are specific times each day they pray too. So, depending on where in the world they are, the times will be different.
Should be interesting. |
They may not be practicing or strict muslims.

Does anyone know anything about a team from last season that are in this years Race also?
This is what I read on Yahoo... Also among the 12 two-person teams, one set of competitors from last season. |

Over/under on how many episodes it'll be before one of the other teams refers to the Muslim team as "terrorists" or "suicide bombers"? ;)
Definitely can't wait for this one to kick off. Last season was a great return to form for the show. |

Now if it were Survivor, that would be a different story! ;) Chris |
And the insidious plot by Miss USA to take over reality tv continues...
|
Looking forward to this one

Name: Arti Patel Occupation: Nutritional Educator Age: 26 Hometown: Windermere, Fla. Relationship: Married Vipul and Arti are the first Indian-American team to run the Race. Both speak several languages and are well-traveled. Vipul admits to being a bit overzealous, while Arti takes great pride in her ability to reign in his emotions and focus his strengths - a skill she will undoubtedly be forced to call upon while racing around the world. http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/3...1544164ct6.jpg Team Number 2 Name: Erwin Cho Occupation: Insurance Company Manager Age: 32 Hometown: San Francisco, Calif Name: Godwin Cho Occupation: Financial Analyst Age: 29 Hometown: San Francisco, Calif Relationship: Brothers These overachieving, super-competitive brothers say they are ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

Bilal is energetic and outgoing while Sa'eed is quiet and passive. Their vastly different temperaments will be fun to watch as they attempt to navigate over 40,000 miles in under 30 days. http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/6...0553781el5.jpg Team Number 8 Name: Peter Harsch Occupation: Clinical Prosthetist Age: 35 Hometown: Laguna Beach, Calif Name: Sarah Reinertsen Occupation: Motivational Speaker Age: 31 Hometown: Trabuco Canyon, Calif Relationship: Friends Peter and Sarah are both Iron Man competitors who have a long history of teamwork. Sarah recently became the first female with an artificial leg to complete the Hawaii Iron Man Triathlon. Peter works as a clinical prosthetist and travels the country speaking to amputees and consulting for prosthetic legs. Both are out to win and eager to show the world that a disability will not stop them from reaching their goals. http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/4...0553140ks2.jpg Team Number 9 Name: Rob Diaz Occupation: Bartender/Real Estate Student Age: 31 Hometown: Los Angeles Name: Kimberly Chabolla Occupation: Public Relations Age: 28 Hometown: Los Angeles Relationship: Dating Rob and Kimberly met while bartending and have been dating for the last two years.

They are both looking to the Race to test the strength of their relationship and prove to them that they were meant to be together. http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5...0554109ly9.jpg Team Number 10 Name: Tyler Denk Occupation: Model Age: 29 Hometown: Los Angeles Name: James Branaman Occupation: Model Age: 27 Hometown: Los Angeles Relationship: Best Friends Tyler and James are not your typical "pretty boys"; they've both had their share of hard knocks. After losing track of each other several years ago, they reconnected after going through rehab and have been best friends ever since. They're hoping their new found lease on life will help carry them around the globe and across the finish line. http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/8...0553624db0.jpg Team Number 11 Name: Dustin Konzelman Occupation: Reigning Miss California/Marketing Director Age: 24 Hometown: Riverside, Calif. Name: Kandice Pelletier Occupation: Reigning Miss NY/Rockette Age: 24 Hometown: New York Relationship: Best Friends Dustin and Kandice met while rooming together at the Miss USA pageant. Rivals at first, they quickly became friends and have been inseparable ever since. Kandice is wild and impulsive, while Dustin is religious and more conservative. Their shared trait is they are both intense competitors who thrive on winning. http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2...0554265if4.jpg Team Number 12 Name: Duke Marcoccio Occupation: Owner -- Tour Company Age: 52 Hometown: Warwick, R.I.

They are currently rebuilding their relationship and hope the Race will help them recapture the closeness they once shared. http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/5...0553484ro5.jpg |
nice mix. I don't expect much out of team #6...
|
Hm. Safe to assume that the teams that feature competitors with limited travel experience won't last long? Good luck, Conley's and Alabama moms!
|
I predict Teams 8 or 9 will win the race...

I'm rooting for the islamic boys!!
the indian girl looks hot. and I vote for Teams 5 and 6 to be the first teams gone. |
Damn, I wonder if Jamie Hill is related to Lauren Hill who was also a USC cheerleader. She looks kind like her if it's the brunette.
I had a few classes with Lauren way back when. She dropped out and went the way of Playboy. Also, she won the Fear Factor playboy episode. That's her on the left: http://www.nbc.com/Fear_Factor/rewind/214_rewind.shtml |
The douchebags, er, I mean pretty boys are likely to be the favorite.
The Cocks Cheerleaders look pretty good. Better than the Miss USA contestants. Why is the gay team always male? Can't we ever get some hot lezbos? |
