Title: TAR 9 Teams - Speculation Thread
Post by: Hi-Fi on December 16, 2005, 07:43:42 PM
Let's talk teams!!

Someone posted a more detailed description on the forum at tv.com. I don't know if it's accurate, though:

Team 1: A curly redhead is pictured, however her partner is not. Rumoured to be a guy and this is the newlywed or engaged couple.

Team 2:Young brunette females could be sisters and could use flirting as a weapon.

Team 3:These people are probably Amish. The man is bearded and the woman has puffy blonde hair. They are middle aged. Prtobably a married couple.They dressed very odd.

Team 4:This team could have a racially mixed male and a African American Female. They look like Frank/Margarita.
Could be a strong team. Probably a dating couple.

Team 5:an all male team. One male is Italian. Rumoured they are friends and one is strait and one is Gay. The First ever gay/strait friend both the same gender.

Team 6:Very tall man and very short blonde Female. He looks older than her and could be a father/daughter team or a way older dating team like Ray/Deana

Team 7:The Granny team like Peggy/Claire. However they look about 50. They could be the first lezz couple

Team 8:An all-male team however not too strong.

Team 9:An country middle age couple. Probably just a bit older than Debra/Steve.

Team 10: Young Asian females. First time we have an all asian team.

Team 11: The nerds. Rumoured than the Female in this group could be Angie from Survivor Palau

Ok were set Hi-Fi !! (wish I had a better capture software *sigh * )

Team 2 , everyone says they are brunettes but I think they have highlights so still think they are blondes . Now team 10 they are what you call brunettes , they don't look Asian to me , my girls are Asian /American but look more Asian than these two, but female partner in team 4 sure does look Asian .


I wonder if Team 8 isnt our blue adidas sneakers spotted in Alaska ? hard to say  ?

I'd love to see an asian team (i think the only asian we had in the race was Kathy in TAR3, right?) but you're right, puddin. Those girls do not look asian to me. The woman in team 4 really does, though.

And i am seeing two men in team 3, the blonde is not a a woman for me. am i out of my mind here?

I'm pretty sure team 1 is a couple, because we already have 3 female-female teams.

It looks like we have a really good group of teams here!!

I'm so excited for this season!!

Now I see the blond as a male too  on team 3  |(  ,I'm NOT going to make fun of them  (%# untill we see who they are ..im telling you they could turn out to be the the team we are all rooting for.

Isn't it odd that we don't have some model/good looking couple teams?? Although team 6 could fit the profile. The girl reminds me of Scarlet Johanson in The Island.

Team 9 creeps me out with those smiles. ]][

I think the "Odd Couple " team # 3 have ski pants on . And sometimes when I watch the video the male of team 9 looks like a female ..I'll see what I grab   :)*

I agree i see no asian in the two girls in team 10.

Looks like AR is going all out for a girl team to finally reach that matt. What  thats 3 all girls team possible 4.

does anyone think that one of the flirty girls looks just like Kim P from Survivor Africa. (the one in the brown)

I'm all for a girl team winning the race, but they should quit getting "And we like boys" kind of teams and start getting teams like Debbie/Bianca. Megan/Heidi being the last example of a wasted team. |(

And i don't think she looks like Kim P. I was rooting for Kim in Survivor Africa. :cryC:

I still find it very odd that we don't have a young couple/ good-looking couple in this group. I mean, i know they went over their heads in TAR6, but i tought it was TAR rule or something. :winkC:

Well the team with that blonde, that guy with her is very blurry and can very well be pretty young, i think he looks like RON from AR7.  And the two African americans of black guy/asian women are young.

TEAM 10 is NOT asian i will bet money on it.  Teh girl in the pink hat is DEFFINALLY NOT!!! the girl in the red it just tan not ASIAN.

This is from over at sucks. Could only be team 5 or 9. Hard to tell from the pic but team 5 might be 50-ish?

Quote
Take this FWIW - I was talking to someone who saw TAR being filmed in Perth, and they said they saw an old couple walking around Fremantle with a cameraman, sound guy etc. They speculate they were around 50-60yrs old. They think it was a male/female couple or possibly male/male (they aren't completely sure, as they only got a glimpse of them). They couldn't remember what clothes/colours they were wearing.

I don't think that the two women that are referred to as gutsy grannies are that old. (I think I recognized them thanks to Tevo)....they are very tall, they are around my age (45), and will make you LYAO.
I will say NO more!

FWIW, I don't think the jumper is the team 4 guy. The jumper looks too caucasian and his red jacket doesn't look like it has a black collar. The color block lettering on the back of the jumpers jacket might be a logo for the bungy company and they are having the teams wear it for marketing.

It was just a weak connection via the red jacket.  But we will know when the reace starts!

Puddin and Hi-Fi were speculating back on page 1 that team 70's might be two guys. I'll join that camp; I took a closer look and it sure looks like a beard on the second person.

I already love the Dee's our first spoiled team . Love the older couple too as well as the 50 ish ladies .
So who wins ? the 2 dudes in the car ( team 5 ) "off to a Million Bucks "  the Dees's "Were girls & were young and we love boys *giggle*"  or the Nerds , "Were two of the biggest Nerds that you'll ever meet " or the 50 ish grannies ?  :winkC:

The Geeks: 11th Place
Double D's: 10th Place

Thats my prediction as of now.

My guess is the two girls (team 10?) win the million.

Team 70's: it's almost like they're wearing costumes!! ]][


Teams going down first: Double D, Team Nerd, Old couple and Grannies are my preditictions, although Meredith and Gretchen teached us a lesson about older teams.

Teams with more chances of winning, according tho the show history: 2 men team(both teams), young couple team, black guy/asian(?) girl team.

can't tell: 70's team, girl/girl team, first team(we don't know if it's a couple or 2 girls)

This thread has been so much fun for me to read.  You guys are hilarious about the hippies (Team Skittles).  I agree with Puddin.  They look like a team I would enjoy as either for a team to cheer for or to laugh at.  I definitely like their style of clothing with their bell bottom nylon pants and that 70's shirt with the funky opening.  Green shirt guy might start a new fashion trend. :gman:  I wonder if they will have a laid back approach to the game but still do well.  I can hardly wait for this one to start as I do have severe TAR withdrawals as I refused to watch the family edition --I did watch the two hour finale to see where they visited in Canada (that's where I am from) and after watching the weaver family (mom with 3 kids) in action, I remembered why I did not watch the family edition.  I hope CBS gave that Rollie kid money for doing all the tasks for his family---that kid should get a medal.

'Amazing Race' Toes Starting Line in February

Monday, January 09, 2006
12:14 PM PT

Fans of "The Amazing Race" have done their best to forget this fall's underwhelming "Family Edition." Apparently CBS has too.
In announcing that the show will return to the airwaves at the end of February, the network makes no mention of the most recent installment, whose ratings lagged behind the two previous seasons. It does note, however, that the show "returns to its international format where teams of two will travel to exotic locations, spanning five continents."

All that will happen starting Tuesday, Feb. 28, when "The Amazing Race" launches its ninth run with a two-hour premiere. The announcement Monday (Jan. 9) follows on the heels of the unveiling of the latest group of "Survivor" contestants. That show returns Thursday, Feb. 2.


"Survivor" will have to face two weeks of NBC's Winter Olympics coverage after it premieres, but "The Amazing Race" will have no such hurdles. Its debut is scheduled for two days after the closing ceremonies in Torino, Italy.
Additionally, CBS says it's keeping the new dramedy "Love Monkey" in the 10 p.m. Tuesday hour after its Jan. 17 premiere; the original plan was to move it to 9 p.m. Tuesdays the following week.

In other scheduling news, UPN has bumped back the premiere date of its unscripted series "Get This Party Started." The show, originally scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 24, will now debut on Tuesday, Feb.

Survivor Panama and The Amazing Race to Return in February  1/10/06

CBS'S REALITY TITANS TO RETURN IN FEBRUARY

"Survivor Panama - Exile Island" Premieres Thursday, Feb. 2, 8:00-9:00 PM

Three Time Emmy Award-Winner "The Amazing Race" Returns for its Ninth Edition

With a Two-Hour Premiere, Tuesday, Feb. 28, 9:00-11:00 PM


"Love Monkey" to Remain In the Tuesday, 10:00-11:00 PM Time Period

CBS's two reality heavyweights -- Survivor and The Amazing Race -- will return in February.

The 12th edition of Survivor, Survivor Panama - Exile Island, premieres Thursday, Feb. 2 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). The most recent installment, "Survivor: Guatemala," won its time period every week in viewers (18.30m), adults 18-49 (6.5/18) and adults 25-54 (7.9/19) and maintained its place in history as being one of only six programs to finish every season (11 editions over the course of five and a half seasons) in the top 10.

Survivor Panama - Exile Island, hosted by Jeff Probst, will find the 16 new castaways initially divided into four tribes of four -- Older Men vs. Older Woman vs. Younger Men vs. Younger Women (the four tribes will become two during a schoolyard pick in the second episode). During the duration of Survivor Panama - Exile Island, at least one castaway each episode will be banished to a separate island miles away from camp. While being separated from the tribe is not desirable, the castaways will learn that there is a hidden Immunity Idol somewhere on Exile Island. If found, this Immunity Idol could save an individual from being voted out at a future Tribal Council.


Survivor: Panama is produced by SEG, Inc. Mark Burnett and Tom Shelly are the executive producers.


The ninth installment of The Amazing Race returns to its international format where teams of two will travel to exotic locations, spanning five continents, with stops in the Middle East, Moscow and Sicily to name a few. The three time Emmy Award-winning adventure series premieres Tuesday, Feb. 28 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT).

Last spring's The Amazing Race 7, the most recent edition to have the two-person team format, achieved series high ratings in viewers (13.03m), adults 18-34 (4.6/13), adults 18-49 (5.3/13) and adults 25-54 (6.1/14)

The Amazing Race, which has been the recipient of the Emmy Award for Best Reality Program for three consecutive years, is produced by Amazing Race Productions Inc. and Touchstone Television Productions, LLC. Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster, Jonathan Littman and Hayma Screech Washington are executive producers. Phil Keoghan is host.

Meanwhile, CBS's mid-season series Love Monkey, which premieres on Tuesday, Jan. 17, will remain in the Tuesday 10:00-11:00 PM time period.

He's not very athletic, but we did ride our bikes for Boston to New York in 3 days 1 summer and that's was the toughest AIDS Ride I've ever done. I hope I have pictures of that...

So, there was nothing on The Early Show this morning? I checked CBSnews.com, and there was nothing on the site.

Nevertheless, Amber Mariano is on Wednesday with her book of advice for girls (there goes another generation...)
Jeff Probst is on Thursday.
The first Survivor: Panama - Exile Island loser is on Friday..which answers my question that tribal council still exists.

'Amazing Race' Gets Back to Basics

Monday, January 30, 2006
09:19 AM PT

Although not one of the participants describes him- or herself as a model, actor or personal trainer, fans of "The Amazing Race" should feel comfortable that the show is getting back to its roots after last fall's family edition.
CBS on Monday (Jan. 30) unveiled the identities of the 11 teams competing in the ninth edition of the show, which premieres Tuesday, Feb. 28. CBS promises a much more globe-trotting competition this time -- which won't be tough considering the family race never left North America.

The teams will hit five continents this time around, with host Phil Keoghan meeting them in Moscow and the Middle East, among other exotic locales. As always, they'll be racing to claim a $1 million prize.

Among the competitors this time are two childhood friends from Staten Island, N.Y., neither of whom has traveled much; a pair of former junior-college track athletes; a couple that's been married 40 years; and a guy who has a fear of flying and hasn't been on a plane in eight years.

CBS' Latest "Amazing" Globetrotters

by Gina Serpe
Jan 30, 2006, 12:50 PM PT



And they're off...

CBS has revealed the identities of its latest batch of Amazing Race-rs, including college sweethearts, bohemian best buds and a mother-daughter pairing.

a d v e r t i s e m e n t
 

 
 
 
The three-time Emmy-winning reality show will forgo last season's gimmick of four-member family teams and return to its original format for its ninth season, pitting 11 two-person teams against each other in a race around the world for a million-dollar prize.

Phil Keoghan again hosts the globe-trotting adventure series, which this season will span five continents and include stops in the Middle East, Moscow and Sicily, among other exotic locales, CBS announced Monday.

The 30-day trek requires contestants to compete in a series of mental and physical challenges at each destination, and only when each task is complete do they learn the location of their next mission. Each week, the team that's made the least amount of progress is eliminated.

Among the 22 contestants for The Amazing Race 9 are Tyler MacNiven, one-half of the self-proclaimed bohemian best-bud pairing, once walked the 2,000-mile length of Japan in order to impress a local woman, while married couple Fran and Barry Lazarus, both in their 60s and the race's oldest competitors, claim to have traveled to more than 45 countries and climbed all of Colorado's mountains.

Here's the complete list of competitors:

BJ Averell, 26, online tutor, Los Angeles; Tyler MacNiven, 25, filmmaker, San Francisco (best friends)
Scott Braginton-Smith, 41, sales rep, West Harwich, Massachusetts; John Lowe, 38, wealth manager, Dorchester, Massachusetts (lifelong friends)
Yolanda Brown-Moore, 27, science teacher, Chicago; Ray Whitty, 31, attorney, Chicago (dating)
Monica Cayce, 23, student, Fayetteville, Arkansas; Joseph Meadows, 23, homebuilder, Fort Smith, Arkansas (dating)
Desiree Cifre, 24, writer, New York; Wanda Lopez-Rochford, 44, corporate trainer, Smyrna, Georgia (mother/daughter)
Michelle Garner, 36, homemaker, Hattiesburg, Mississippi; Lake Garner, 37, dentist, Hattiesburg, Mississippi (married parents)
Joni Glaze, 44, children's minister, Katy, Texas; Lisa Hinds, 48, realtor/artist, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida (sisters)
Barry Lazarus, 63, retired physician, Silverthorne, Colorado; Fran Lazarus, 61, retired accountant, Silverthorne, Colorado (married 40 years)
Jeremy Ryan, 26, valet, Fort Lauderdale; Eric Sanchez, 27, waiter, Fort Lauderdale (friends)
David Spiker, 30, musician, Manhattan, Kansas; Lori Willems, 25, Pizza Hut manager, Manhattan, Kansas (dating)
Dani Torchio, 22, recent college grad, Staten Island; Danielle Turner, 22, recent college grad, Staten Island (childhood friends)

CBS is hoping a return to the original format will boost Race's Nielsens. Last season's family edition averaged just 10.8 million viewers, down from 13 million from the previous two-person team season.

The Amazing Race 9 kicks off with a two-hour season premiere Feb. 28 on CBS.

TARJunkie999 on RealityTVWorld has identified the centre building in the CBS photo as Holiday Inn Denver, and that set me off on a search for the exact rooftop the photo was taken. Not much surprise here, but the teams were on the Adams Mark Hotel, starting line sequester for TAR9. (Phil was seen in the lobby two days before the race began.)

Some photos and maps to help us out...

Title: Re: The Amazing Race 9 Site is up ! Teams !
Post by: never0102 on February 04, 2006, 06:37:45 PM
Here are my views on the teams.

I will Start with GIRL TEAMS!

1. Danielle and Danielle:  Some say they will fall in the hot girl curse(2nd eliminated).  1. That doesnt exist its the Roomates curse all Kim and Lesie, Meredith and Maria, and Megan and Heidi's relationship was roomates. So with that i think they will go down the same lines as Kami and Karli just do alot better than them(in the way they wont be second to last almost every leg)  But i can see then potentially final five or three.

2. Lisa and Joni:  I dont will they be the next bowling moms or the next Peggy and Claire.  I will have to go with the next (more happy though) Peggy and Claire.

3. Wanda and Deseree: If anyone would fall into the second team eliminated i think it would be them.  They look like they were in shape and from the preview way back when (team 10 remember) they would have been my pic to win, but i was turned off by there CBS pick, i really just dont see them going far.  Even in the commercial they look good, but so did Megan and Heidi and look what happened to them. 

The Guy teams:

1. Eric and Jeremy: Nothing to say but why does the AR still cast teams like them, i think they are boring. Will prolly do good i mean the worst place a young male male team has ever come in was 6th and i only think two male male young in shape team havnt made the final three.  So chances are with them being in at least the final three. Unfortunally. 

2. John and Scott: Look like a Lynn and Alex but wont do nearly as good as they did.

3. BJ and Tyler:  They seem very unique, i dont think we have ever seen something like them before. I think they are going to be either the fun forth place team, or could be the next Bill and Joe, but i am leaning toward the fun team.

Girl/Guy Teams
1. Joe and Monica: Why they were casted i dont know, could be the next Kris and Jon, who were boring and the only reason KJ were so liked was because everyone else was not liked. I am hopeing they are either a Deniss and Erika or Ali and Donny so some of the more interesing teams go far.  Why they casted a good looking couple was not needed when Dani and Dani  and Erik and Jeremy are hot enough.

2. Lake and Michelle: Heard he is a jerk and her family is not very well liked so i think they will be the nasty team and go out like Ray and Deana or Jon and Victoria.

3. Ray and Yolanda: She looks like Hera, his name is Ray whats in common Hera and Ray from previous racers came in 7th place, maybe more than just coincidence?

4. David and Lori: dont know what to say but i got a impression of Ryan and Chuck from the preview, but they actually got noticed in the preview(along with Dani and Danielle).  In AR7 pre after AR6 i belive the only teams that got noticed were Rob and Amber and Ron and Kelly and look how far they went. So prolly around for a while.  Teams that get eliminated early usually are non existent in previews.

5. Fran and Barry: Get a huge Meredith and Gretchen and Teri and Ian vibe from them.  But they can also fall into Don and Mary Jean or the couple from season one that just loose becuase of luck or just getting lost.
I just hope female teams arent handicaped by going to the middle east.
My Race Predictions:
11th: John and Scott
10th: Wanda and Desiree
9th: Lisa and Joni
8th: Fran and Barry
7th: Ray and Yolanda
6th: Lake and Michelle
5th: David and Lori
4th: BJ and Tyler
Third: Joe and Monica
Second: Erik and Jeremy
Winners: Danielle and Danielle

Come on Girls have got to pull this off for once.  Godlewskis and Linda and Karen in forth place.  the Godlewski's broke the first place barrier for women(comming in first more than just once they did it THREE Times).  Its just calling for a girl team to win.  If its not going to be Danielle and Dani then i guess its Wanda and Desiree.

Thanks for the links Kogs.  After viewing the clip for BJ & Tyler (my fav team), I don't think they are as compatible as they appear.  BJ doesn't have any sense of time and likes to take naps.  Huh???  Tyler appears hyperactive, so should make for some funny moments.  Are they the winners?, not so sure now.

Wow, the old team look really buff.  They might be the dark horse team this year.  Go Geritol!

Dennis Haysbert, Scott Foley, Robert Patrick, Regina Taylor, Max Martini, Michael Irby, Demore Barnes, Abby Brammell and Audry Marie Anderson Star

"The Amazing Race" Moves to a New Time Period on March 7 -- Tuesday, 10:00 PM -- After Its Two-Hour Premiere on Feb. 28

THE UNIT, an action drama that follows a covert team of special forces operatives as they risk their lives on undercover missions around the globe while their wives maintain the homefront, protecting their husbands' secrets, premieres Tuesday, March 7 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

THE AMAZING RACE 9, which premieres with a two-hour broadcast on Tuesday, Feb. 28 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), will move to a new time period on Tuesday (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), effective March 7.

THE UNIT stars Dennis Haysbert, Scott Foley, Robert Patrick, Regina Taylor, Max Martini, Michael Irby, Demore Barnes, Abby Brammell and Audry Marie Anderson.

As head of the Unit, Jonas Blane (Haysbert) leads his team on missions out in the field and is responsible for taking elite new recruit Bob Brown (Foley) under his wing. The Unit includes Jonas, Colonel Tom Ryan (Patrick), Mack Gerhardt (Martini), Charles Grey (Irby), Hector Williams (Barnes) and Bob Brown, all highly skilled soldiers, whose ability to rely on each other in life-threatening situations creates their unique brotherhood. Jonas' wife, Molly (Taylor), is the base matriarch who comforts and counsels "the unit's" wives as they cope with the fear and uncertainty they experience when their husbands leave home. Molly and Tiffy Gerhardt (Brammell), a wife hiding her own dark secrets, help Bob's pregnant wife, Kim (Anderson), acclimate to the stress of her new secret life.

David Mamet ("The Verdict," "The Untouchables") and Shawn Ryan ("The Shield") are executive producers for Twentieth Century Fox Television.

..." current season: 9 (15 episodes)"...

I was never very good at math, but I count only 12 possible episodes from Feb.28 till CMA on May 23.   :-\
Is it really possible CBS would have 15 episodes (as that would require 6 Non-eliminations or To Be Continued)?   :umn:
 ??? Ahhh...those CBS webmonkeys strike again!    :groan:
 
OK, just read Kogs post.  15 may be possible.  Premier = 2 epiosdes, Finale = 2 episodes, and 1 mid-season double episode
Never mind.   :-[

Smart move by the suits at CBS if this is correct and that after the premiere the show time will move to 10:00PM EST instead of the usual 9:00PM.  This puts it out of competition with that ratings killer of all killer programs "American Idol".

First episode runs the traditional two hours but I think that this will be considered just one leg as it has always been in the past.  Usually includes a lot of travel and an overnight under the stars somewhere - that's why they seem to travel to warm climates during first episode.  Iceland was an exception but it was summer then.

If we follow the usual patterns (what the heck is usual for this series?) the last show will be a two-hour finale on Tueday, May 16.  This would be 11 legs with one double leg (two shows) in the middle somewhere (possibly Australia) That would leave three teams for the final two hour leg.

The finale that I think to be premiere on May 30, 1 week after the Annual Country Music Awards. (U.S. time), is the week after the finale of American Idol 5.
Title: Re: TAR9 premiere Date Feb 28th
Post by: Mister RC on February 13, 2006, 07:50:03 AM
Given how the Premiere date starts exactly 52 weeks (a.k.a. one day earlier than last year), I believe that the possibility of a May 9 finale is pretty strong.  The only possible scenario is for there to be a two-hour mid-season Special Episode (NEL followed by an elimination), and for the recap to air on a different night (Wednesday).

Here's a sample: If the schedule matches TAR7 and its schedule, TAR9 could look something like this:

02/28/06: TAR9-01
03/07/06: TAR9-02
03/14/06: TAR9-03
03/21/06: TAR9-04
03/28/06: TAR9-05 & 06 (NEL then Philimination)
04/04/06: TAR9-07
04/11/06: TAR9-08A
04/18/06: TAR9-08B
04/25/06: TAR9-09
05/02/06: TAR9-10
05/09/06: TAR9-11 & 12 (NEL then Race to the Finish Line)


This is just speculation, but if TPTB stick to its 11-episode format, this is possible.  Even with TAR airing at 10, there could still be a two-hour episode somewhere in the middle (if not March, in April, switching places with the TBC episodes).  It makes sense because who wants to sit through several 1-hour Non-elimination episodes?  At least that's what I hope doesn't happen.  But it's possible that there aren't any 2-hour mid-season episodes (and there should be since TARFE had one and this version goes back to the glory days of TAR we hope) and the finale is on May 16, but with Survivor's finale likely to air on May 7 (which doesn't seem possible now, since it looks like the season could end as early as April 23 or 30), I would assume that TPTB would want both big reality shows ending around the same time or in the same week.

I guess it's too early to tell.  I'm not a detective or someone that's on the inside and doesn't know the schedule yet.  I'm just a TAR fan who has a big imagination and predicts/speculates a lot of stuff based on what I have or see.  I do have to say that we might want to rule out May 30, because that's on day removed from Memorial Day (obversed that is, since May 30 is the real Memorial Day), and likely out of the sweeps period.

I will dig out the pictures (and some of them are hu-flippin-larious), get them scanned and posted them here tomorrow. He could be the funniest person I know.

He's not very athletic, but we did ride our bikes for Boston to New York in 3 days 1 summer and that's was the toughest AIDS Ride I've ever done. I hope I have pictures of that...

Thanks, Puddin. Where was it originally? AOL? I got the link working once, but when I tried it again I got an 11-second ad "this can only be viewed at Ifilm." (Not my week for video, I guess; I'm going to order HDTV before the premiere to see if that will improve things)
Also: someone (I think maybe Chateau) speculated upstream that the skiing was pre-season. That's confirmed now, as well as MoJo kitesurfing (somewhere in Arkansas, I presume).

I found another clip !!!!!!!!!
Its Phil and clips from the end of TAR8 preview for TAR9



Phil: this race is going to capture the audiences imagination .There are very few shows that offer what Amazing Race has to offer .
This is a show that travels thousands of miles to some of the most exotic places around the world .You'll absolute see places you've never seen before but thats the beauty of the Amazing Race . Theres not a team that we have this time that you can say is like any other ,they're unique , dynamic engaging characters unlike anything we've ever seen before .The Amazing Race gives back as much as it takes .People walk away from this race and say it was a life changing experience .Why wouldn't you want to be on the amazing Race?

Amazing Race 9: Meet the Racers
Amazing Race 9 Premieres Tues. Feb. 28 (9-11pm) On CBS4.
Click PLAY on your video viewer to meet the teams

(CBS4 News) LOS ANGELES Fasten your seatbelts because on Feb. 28, The Amazing Race takes off again for its ninth season.

This time, the reality adventure series returns to its international format in which teams of two will travel to exotic locations, spanning five continents, with stops in spots such as the Middle East, Moscow and Sicily.

"The Amazing Race 9" will begin with a special two-hour premiere on Tuesday, Feb. 28 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS. Starting Tuesday, March 7, the Amazing Race will move to its new timeslot from 10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT. Phil Keoghan is host of the series.

Now, let’s see who makes up the 11 teams of two:

BJ & Tyler are bohemian best buds who first met four years ago during the Semester at Sea program, where they shared the experience of sailing around the world. BJ is a graduate of Harvard University, while Tyler graduated from UC Santa Cruz after completing two semesters abroad--one in Hungary, the other in South Africa. Both have traveled the world extensively and speak several languages including Spanish and Japanese.

Scott and John represent best friends on the east coast. This team may have problems because John admits to being too controlling and also has a fear of flying.
John, who is single, lives in Boston, Massachusetts, where he works as a wealth manager and artist. He also plans to pursue a career in real estate one day.
Scott, who is in sales, currently resides on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He describes himself as a fun and gregarious person whose personal motto is "live, live, live." He claims that the most exciting moment in life has yet to happen.

Desiree and Wanda are a mother daughter team looking to experience other cultures on the race. Wanda, a corporate trainer, is married and lives in Smyrna, Georgia. She’s also fluent in Spanish, which could help them out a lot during the race.
Desiree resides in New York City where she works as a writer.

Michelle and Lake are married parents from Mississippi. Lake is a dentist who has limited traveling experience outside of the United States. Michelle is a stay-at-home mother of three who works part-time in Lake's office.

Sisters Joni and Lisa have lived apart from each other for 20 years. The sisters hope their experience on THE AMAZING RACE will help them to reconnect with one another and make up for lost time.
Lisa, who lives in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, is also a mother of two and has been married for seven years.
Joni, who resides in Katy, Texas, is the mother of two and has been married for 10 years.

Barry and Fran have known each other for 45 years and have been married for over 40. The proud parents of two children, this adventure-loving couple makes their home in Summit County, Colorado. Fran, who is 61 years old, is a retired accountant who describes herself as having a positive outlook on life. Fran admits that she’s running THE AMAZING RACE to show that “old people” can compete just as well as most 25 year olds.
Barry, who is 63 years old, thrives on challenging himself and loves to compete. A retired urologist and former battalion surgeon with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam, Barry describes himself as outgoing and dependable.

Dani and Danielle are childhood friends hailing from Staten Island, New York. The two beauties met over 10 years ago and have been inseparable ever since.
Outgoing and talkative, Danielle, who recently graduated from St. Johns University with a degree in Speech Pathology, has limited experience when it comes to traveling abroad and is eager to see what this globetrotting adventure has to offer.
Dani recently graduated at the top of her class from Wagner College. She describes herself as being fun-loving, wild and eager to get out of Staten Island.

Jeremy and Eric are best friends from Fort Lauderdale. Both are admittedly cocky, very competitive and strong athletes. Sarcastic and patient, Jeremy is well-traveled and ready for the adventure of a lifetime.
Eric, who has little experience traveling outside of the United States, describes himself as being athletic and outgoing.

Ray and Yolanda are a dating couple of five years. An accomplished athlete, Yolanda ran track with Ray's cousin at the University of Florida. Natives of Florida, Ray & Yolanda now reside in Chicago, Illinois. Yolanda grew up in Gainesville, Florida and was a math and science teacher in Miami before she recently moved in with Ray, who is originally from Jacksonville. After receiving his law degree from the University of Miami and practicing law in South Florida, Ray accepted a position as an attorney in Chicago.

Joseph & Monica are a southern dating couple. After a brief separation the couple missed each other too much that they decided to give the relationship another try. They've been together ever since. Joseph describes himself as confident and funny, while Monica is independent and tenacious.

David & Lori are the third dating couple of the race from Manhattan, Kansas. Although Lori is ready to get married, David would like to get his career off the ground before he ties the knot.
Describing himself as intelligent and compassionate, David has done little traveling, but is eager to explore the world. His one phobia is heights.
An assistant manager at Pizza Hut, Lori says she is energetic, understanding and willing. She also believes herself to be more spontaneous than her partner, who is more reserved and likes to have a plan.
