Amazing Racers Ready to Roll Gina Serpe Tue Aug 19, 5:12 AM ET Los Angeles (E! Online) - Two McLovin-loving frat brothers, a former NFL player and his estranged wife (awkward) and a pair of honey-making hippies are among the competitors set for a globe-trotting spin around the world on the upcoming 13th season of the Amazing Race. CBS has announced the 11 two-person teams set to compete on the Emmy-magnet reality show when it kicks off Sept. 28. Phil Keoghan is again back with the best job in the world, lording over the global go-round as the teams traverse more than 30,000 miles in 23 days, vying for the $1 million prize. Among the hot spots the teams are set to touch down on: Brazil, Bolivia, Russia, India, a first-ever stop in Cambodia and, for the sake of cultural learnings making benefit the glorious competitors, Kazakhstan. "We shot most of that episode in [its] capital," executive producer Bertram van Munster said. "People were a little afraid we were going to pull a Borat on them. I told them we weren't doing Borat, but what happened there is very, very funny." Here's a look at the teams: http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0343b.jpg • Terence Gerchberg, running coach, 35; Sarah Leshner, investment analyst, 31 (newly dating) http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...124_D0742b.jpg • Marisa Axelrod, student, 22; Brooke Jackson, graphic designer, 24 (Southern belle best friends) http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0224b.jpg • Andrew Lappitt, student, 22; Dan Honig, hotel manager trainee, 23 (fraternity brothers nicknamed "Team Superbad") http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0464b.jpg • Aja Benton, aspiring actress, 25; Ty White, banker, 25 (dating long distance) http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0621b.jpg • Mark Yturralde, Comic-Con treasurer, 41; Bill Hahler, student aid administrator, 42 (best friends) http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0729b.jpg • Toni Imbimbo, accounting consultant, 51; Dallas Imbimbo, student, 22 (mother and son) http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0174b.jpg • Nick Spangler, actor, 22; Starr Spangler, former NFL cheerleader, 21 (brother and sister) http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0595b.jpg • Anita Jones, retired paralegal, 63; Arthur Jones, playground maintenance, 61 (married beekeepers) http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0771b.jpg • Kelly Crabb, sales representative, 26; Christy Cook, business developer, 26 (divorcees) http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0829b.jpg • Ken Greene, home builder and ex-NFL player, 51; Tina Greene, executive search firm president, 48 (separated) http://i.realitytvworld.com/images/a...068_D0530b.jpg • Anthony Marotta, mortgage broker, 32; Stephanie Kacandes, financial saleswoman, 32 (dating) |

Ha ha, small world. I know Marisa's sister. This is going to be an entertaining season.

I believe since we are getting a fall edition, that we should also be getting a winter edition! :thumbsup:

There are two actors. Should there also be two fewer beekeepers? There are two of them as well.

;) At least beekeeping is unusual and somewhat interesting. When these reality shows cast admitted actors/models etc. it just seems too famewhorish. I have seen more aspiring actors & models on the Amazing Race than I have ever met in real life. I'd rather see more "real" people. |

I like how we are already getting some obvious nicknames: Superbad, Hippie Beekeepers, Southern Belles and Motherboy II. |
Damn. I'm 0-for-13 on making this show.
|
How far have you got in the application process?
