New ‘Amazing Race’ Cast Features Familiar ‘Survivor’s

Aug 31st, 2011 | 10:58 AM | Comments 0

Over the past ten years, “The Amazing Race” has welcomed plenty of CBS reality stars through its gates. “Survivor” couple “Boston” Rob Mariano and Amber Brkick have appeared twice, while “Big Brother” twosomes Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd, and Alison Irwin and Donny Patrick have also competed. Now, a new pair of vets are joining the show. “Survivor” winners Jenna Morasca and Ethan Zohn will trek around the globe in the Emmy-winning show’s 19th season.

Joining Ethan and Jenna are ten other teams, which include a pair of Olympic snowboarders, twin sisters, an ex-FNL tight end, flight attendant pals, and the youngest person to ever make a solo sailing trip around the world.

Meet the new cast:

The latest installment, which finds contestants traveling to Indonesia, Malawi, Belgium and Denmark – among other exotic locales – will also introduce a new penalty. The “Hazard,” the network teases, will impact one team’s future right from the starting line. We’ll also be treated to the show’s first-ever Double Elimination.

The anniversary season (the series first premiered on Sept. 5, 2001) kicks off Sept. 25 at 8/7c on CBS.

Here are the 11 new teams:
