I can't say for sure if that is Jenna Morasca or not, but I only see 3 people in those two pictures. Jenna, the camera guy and the sound guy. There are only 3 sets of legs. The top picture does show something black over the top of Jenna's backpack, but I think that's the back end of the camera on the guy's shoulder. Most likely if that is Jenna Morasca, then Ethan Zohn is probably her partner, but I don't see him in those pictures.

Yes it is Jenna and Ethan.

1. Laurence & Zac Sunderland (Father & Son)
2. Older blue team (M/F)
3. The couple that some of us have speculated to be Ethan & Jenna, a pair of Survivor winners
4. Blonde all-female team (wearing reddish tops)
5. Young couple (M/F in white and blue)
6. African American couple (M/F wearing black)
7. African American female wearing pink (teammate not visible)
8. Young yellow couple (M/F)
9. Green team (M/M, probably surfers)
10. Dark-haired all-female team (with pink jackets, apparently from Hawaii)

I only have 10, am I missing one, or is that all we have?

Oo 3 female teams. Cool :)

Maybe there is a possibility the MIA team got an earlier flight?  :lol:

And must probably wait for other teams (TAR 15)  :lol:

Following Peach's hunch on Ethan's yellow shirt I can say it is him!

Good luck Survivors.  Ethan:  change that shirt!  :lol:

Like Zac and Laurence, if that one other team is Jenna and Ethan, there's a compelling story there beyond the Survivor connection, namely Ethan's a cancer survivor and as I recall it was a very life-threatening situation for Ethan when it was diagnosed. Also, Ethan has been a tireless promoter for youth soccer (or football, if you prefer). If it's those two, I wouldn't have a problem with their being cast because of the Ethan backstories; he's earned it, IMHO.

Zac's solo voyage around the world was a tremendous personal accomplishment. Little doubt it would be appealing to Lynn, Bert, Elise and especially Phil.

Question could the Jenna-Ethan team be the team that was documented at a ticket counter by tweetpic that came out last night?

The Sunderland family has been in the news for Zac's younger sister Abby who also set out to sail around the world.

This could turn out to be a great cast. I'm already liking Laurence & Zac, and Ethan & Jenna do have that 'beyond survivor' story that theschnauzers has mentioned which will no doubt appeal to more people than Rob & Amber. My speculation is that our missing 11th team is a M/M team as we only have 2 of the usual 3.

Great work, was just going to confirm that the green team is definitely the 'surfer' types.
The NIKE swish on the bright green shoes is the tell.

Great to see Ethan and Jenna racing!! Ethan will still be below his best physical condition, and as a soccer player I worry that he hasn't built back the mass on his legs. I work with leukemic patients and have a few friends who have been through the lengthy process and even my good friend who sped through recovery and runs marathons took years to get back to normal energy and strength. Jenna may be the strength for the team. Usually hate reality tv re-competitors, but am cheering for them HUGELY already. They have given so much after their wins to community and through his battle with cancer.

Hopefully our last team isn't another m/f couple as there are at least 5 of them. But there is always hope that at least one of them might be brother/sister or gay friends.

Great stuff everyone, LOVE these first few days except that I find myself being glued to the computer to read all your information... arrggh. Good thing I have some time off.

I could not agree more! And I am so not a fan of already been used players...but this is something special. He fought so hard, and she fought FOR him so hard, so I am thrilled to have them join the TAR family.

I thought it was kind of cool when they brought in Alison Irwin from Big Brother 4 for The Amazing Race 5 with her bf who had beef with her from her performances on BB. But then the over did it when they had Rob/Amber and Jordan/Jeff on the race. I am definitely okay with Ethan and Jenna coming back though.

I realized it was the yellow Grassroots Soccer Tee-Shirt too, but I was nearly asleep and didn't bother to post it. I was sure however, and I am really pleased. What a good cast!

On the topic of celebrity casting that we like, I'm not usually a fan of people under 21 getting casted, but Zac actually did something other than make videos or say something stupid. From what I see so far, I like the cast.

So Ethan & Jenna are on the show!  I'll be rooting for them -- Ethan because of his cancer and because he was one Survivor winner I liked, Jenna because I felt for her when she left Survivor All-Stars because she suspected (accurately) that her mother was dying and she felt she had to go home and see her mom while she still could.  I wish them the best of luck!
