The Amazing Race: Meet The All-Stars!
by Lynn on January 16th, 2007
CBS has finally released the identities of the All-Star teams that will be back next season to take on The Amazing Race again. Some of them we loved to hate and some of them we just loved. Check them out!
Kevin and Drew (Season 1)
The fraternity brothers from Season 1 are all grown up and married. Kevin & Drew met in a fraternity while attending St. Johns University and immediately hit it off. This high-spirited friendship paved the way for one of the most popular teams in the series’ 10 seasons.
After falling short of the million dollars during season 1, the fraternity brothers took their lovable banter to Discovery Channel’s “Kevin and Drew Unleashed.”
Oswald & Danny (Season 2)
These best friends from Season 2 had a falling out several years ago, but have since mended their relationship and claim to be better friends now than they’ve ever been during their 12 years of friendship.
Even though these two don’t live in the same city, they still see each other quite frequently and are ready to take another adventure of a lifetime together.
John & Jill (Season 3)
Season 3’s John Vito and Jill are back for another chance at winning the million dollar prize. What’s different this time around? These former lovebirds are no longer romantically involved. Changing the dynamic of their relationship allows them to focus all of their efforts on running the best Race possible. Both individuals are fierce competitors and know they have the skills and experience necessary to win.
John Vito, a trader in New York City, and Jill, a product controller, both originally from Staten Island, New York, currently reside in Manhattan.
Uchenna & Joyce (Season 7)
Uchenna and Joyce are one of the most beloved teams from any season of Race. The winners of Season 7, Uchenna and Joyce were relentless and stopped at nothing to win the $1 million prize… including shaving their heads.
They have known each other for 16 years and have been married for seven of those. Both have admitted that the continued inability to start a family has caused a strain on their marriage, but are looking to the Race to get their relationship back on track.
David & Mary (Season 10)
Everybody’s favorite coalminer and his wife are back for another trek around the world. David and Mary, the lovable, wide-eyed couple from Stone, Ky., finished sixth in the 10th installment.
The Conleys met at the local McDonalds over 11 years ago and have been married for nearly 10 years. They are the proud parents of three children.
After falling short of the $1 million prize, Mary was adamant that she and David would not sign up for another Race and leave their children again, but something tells her that they have what it takes to win the million dollars this time around.
Charla & Mirna (Season 5)
The inspirational cousins from Season 5 are back for another trip around the world. Charla and Mirna have both made numerous television appearances since their time on Race and are eager to capture America’s heart once again. Both are now married and ready to start a family.
A highly competitive team during their season, Charla, who stands at 4 feet tall, describes herself as dedicated, passionate and driven to succeed. Mirna describes herself as hard working, a leader, but with a comical side. Her greatest achievement is obtaining her Juris Doctorate at age 23.
Rob & Amber (Season 7)
America’s Sweethearts met, fell in love and got married…all in front of the cameras. It all started during Survivor: All-Stars, where Rob finished in second place to Amber.
Shortly after, they were cast on the seventh season of the Race and fought their way to the top of the pack, ultimately finishing as the runner-ups to Joyce and Uchenna.
Teri & Ian (Season 3)
Second place in Season 3 just wasn’t good enough for this dynamic duo. Teri and Ian are still the oldest players to ever finish the Amazing Race and they are back to show that they haven’t lost a step.
One of the fan favorites from all the seasons of Race, Teri and Ian both have fiery personalities and a determination to win.
Married for 25 years with three kids, they were by far one of the most competitive teams to ever Race. Both admit that the biggest similarity between them is that they both always think they are right, which can lead to a good amount of healthy bickering.
Eric & Danielle (Season 9)
This unique duo met while Racing against each other during Season 9. During their travels, they developed a bond which transpired into a romance and the two have been dating for the past year. Eric, who had partnered with Jeremy during his first Race around the world, finished in 2nd place to the Hippies while Danielle, who ran the Race with her best friend Dani, were the 4th Team ousted. This time around, Eric and Danielle are going to combine their efforts using strengths from their former teammates as they forge this new partnership hoping they have what is takes to Race with the best of them.
Joe & Bill (Season 1)
“Team Guido,” the avid adventurers from Season 1, return for another attempt at the $1 million prize. Claiming they’ve had their bags packed since they returned home from the first season, they are ready to go!
Admittedly, one of the most conniving teams in the history of Race, “Team Guido” were the masters of the old-school strategy and successfully outplayed most of their former competitors.
Dustin & Kandice (Season 10)
These former Beauty Queens are back for a second chance and more determined than ever to prove to the world that they aren’t just pretty faces. Proven to be fierce competitors during this current installment of Race, Dustin and Kandice are focused and have their sights on the Million Dollar Prize.
These Best Friends met while rooming together at the Miss America pageant in 2005 and quickly formed a bond that they knew would last a long time.
Be sure to tune in on Sunday February 18 at 8:00 pm to see the season premiere.
