Cast have been revealed for the upcoming 23rd season of the hit US TV Show, The Amazing Race, which is due to premiere on the 29th of September, 2013!

:amazed:

Rowan and Shane :worship:

Hope it is better than the last two season.

Meet The Cast:



Also, I believe there's 2 express passes this year again.

****ing love it so far, so much better than the last few seasons.

Sexiest terrorist, screaming ex couple and two drag queens... doesn't get better then that

where can we watch this?

Such a boring premiere, nobody stands out whatsoever

Hard to expect much with the modern budget version of this show. The cast is the usual set of photogenic middle America stereotypes: clowns, blondes, sports wives etc. The leg design saved the first seven teams just by sticking them on a much earlier plane. Of course the days when teams could search for the quickest flight have long gone. The road blocks (no detour) were repeats from previous races, but not as tough. Repeating the double express pass twist, so a team gets one without even earning it. Just a 40 minute premiere.

Did feel like a very underwhelming premiere.

Second episode was better, happier with the elimination as well. Tasks better, the transport choices were less spoonfed, closer elimination.

The cast sucks omg. CBS needs to stop with the gimmicks and fame*****s and use regular people. Like me when I apply :)

But the pink-haired girl is amazing <3

Next season is going to be All Stars, according to a very reliable source.

So far they've confirmed that these teams are back:
-Brendon & Rachel
-Jet & Cord
-Mark & Bopper (replacement for Chippendales, who pulled out at the last minute)
-Natalie & Nadiya
-Joey & Mehgan
-Andy & Tommy

They've also said Brook & Claire, Rob & Amber and all the winners aren't on it (there's no winners, only post-S18 team + cowboys)

This is the reliable source, who has given some pretty accurate info about CBS shows in the past: https://twitter.com/MissCleo_BB15

More teams to be supposedly 'revealed' later today.

:bored: Clearly a joke?

The Cowboys suck and all ready had a second chance. And the others are just as bad. Although havent seen season 20 so dont know how Mark/Booper and Rachel/Brendan are like.

Shame I liked the Chippendales. Natalie and Nadiya were annoyingly funny at best

These goddess' have to be on as well

omg Brendon & Rachel :love:

Hope she loses again and cries in a bush in the middle of the Egypt desert

Wait the Cowboys are partaking in it again? This is like their third time.

Full cast (according to Miss Cleo):

Jet & Cord (TAR16) (Only team pre-UB + first team to return form 3rd time)
Andy & Tommy (TAR19)
Brendon & Rachel (TAR 20)
Mark & Bopper (TAR 20)
Trey & Lexi (TAR 21)
Natalie & Nadiya (TAR 21)
Caroline & Jennifer (TAR 22)
Joey & Meghan (TAR 22)
Pam & Winnie (TAR 22)
Dave & Connor (TAR 22)
Tim & Marie (TAR 23)

The Chippendales (Jaymes + James from TAR21) pulled out last minute, apparently)

:shocked: Why have they picked the worst people EVER

Natalie and Nadia and Marie are the only decent ones

Dave and Connor were also nice enough, the rest SUCK

Why the cowgirls again? They lost twice all ready and I bet it will be rigged for them to win. Hope they are u-turned like ****

My thoughts are bolded. Looks like a cast which Brenchel can beat which is good, they need to win. They should have put in those two who came fourth to the unexpected gay winners that season, they got screwed over by flights and all the other players. This cast are barely all-stars tbh.

Trey & Lexi have been cut from the cast apparently.

Didn't Natalie & Nadiya finish 4th that season?

Dave and Conner and Caroline & Jennifer I don't agree on.

I liked Dave and Conner, I cant recall Caroline and Jennifer at all and it says on wikipedia they made final 4 :conf:

Yeh I struggled remembering them even though they were recent.

Dave/Connor are largely memorable as Dave got injured. Maybe if he got injured again just in time for All Stars they might provide some drama, otherwise I'm likely to find them bland again.

Oh I forgot about this

Didnt dave and connor both recover from cancer?

Yeh but that didn't really mean much in the race apart from the confessionals were they kept speaking about it. And we've heard all about that once. I found them pretty bland.

Then 5th, that couple that everyone hated. Abby and something.

Abbie and Ryan ^

They wont be back as they have split up now

Abbie was nice, I don't think everybody hated her at all.

I'm slowly catching up and omg these ****ing idiots in episode two :joker: why give them a spot on the show

i like jason and amy hope they win

The clowns were just picked as they were clowns, typical of the casting for the show now.

Not sure which team Jason and Amy are I'll have to check.

They are the team who are in kinda in a alliance with the doctors travis and nicole. Plus they hate the arghanimals so thats always a bonus. They seem like a nice couple and seem like a strong team.

Their edit is very under the rader so they mostly will mostly win.

I cant see Marie and tim winning now if



so if the final 3 are (apparent final 3)

I really think Marie needs to be slapped off of a cliff.

I'm not fond on the tramps or the afghanimals... the power couple this season are quite dislikeable, although I did like them in the first two legs. Jason and Amy ftw please.

I think I got spoiled in a roundabout way on Tim and Marie on another forum, which probably relates to the first spoiler above (though I didn't open it).

I don't like the doctors much, just seem too serious. Marie is pretty funny, in her comments on her partner and how she is with others. Winners nearly always are boring though, an exception being the 3rd season.

Pretty much all this, I cant warm to the doctors either, they are just so serious and if they dont come first they bitch and moan about it

Marie is needed for this season because she is amusing to watch

And I agree the winners will probably be Jason and Amy; nice people but not interesting. I think the fact when Jason said on the mat in last weeks episode he and Amy were going to beat Tim and Marie was a clue to them eventually in the end beating them, just like the Youtubers in last season who kept moaning that everyone was helping the boring icehockey players and they will end up beating them all... and look what happened.

I disagree that all winners are boring however, Chip and Kim, Dan and Jordan, Jen and Keasha and Ernie and Cindy (more so Cindy) were not your typical winners and had some moments.

The race has started. This is the cast list.
