RachelLeVega:
A fresh and exciting cast! :hearts: Deserves better promo visuals too
M/F:
Brother | Sister - 32 yrs; Hispanic siblings from the Midwest expanding their horizons; brother is sarcastic at times and lighthearted in humor while the sister is more conservative and organized
Married Homemakers - 50 yrs; Work-at-home parents from Utah always looking for an adventure; all about literally bringing fun to the race via their backpacks stocked with random treasures such as a scrapbook, art supplies, and tape - Potential race winners?
Best Friends - 24 & 23 yrs; African-American besties from Long Island; athletically talented young woman supporting her precious gay best friend since they first met in high school; the archetypical "popular person racing with bullied individual" team
Newlyweds - 30 yrs; Former female sports car model and the average-looking guy with a decent job making young men and women watching question their own dating approaches; Kelly & Jon-like personalities and hardly ever bicker, but they do disagree at times
Newly Dating - 26 yrs; "Most emotionally disastrous team" since Nate & Jen; Both of Northeast Asian descent and commonly find flaws more than being fortunate for things; always trying to fix each others' ideas & attitudes before the thoughts get too troublesome, but ends up in irony

M/M:
Uncle | Nephew - 46 yrs & 20 yrs; First person under 21 at the starting line to be on TAR since season 19!; Any type of personalities with a mind-boggling backstory would fit as with a new kind of parent/child team
Brothers - 25 yrs; Modelesque Caucasian brothers with dark pasts in high school and college, epitome of a frat boy persona and charming with a side of guilty pleasure (Oh, brother)

F/F:
Lifelong Friends - 25 yrs; Two young, geeky hipsters from the Carolinas that have been friends since primary school... except one of them deals with alopecia and received a scar on her arm after a fiery car accident :(; inspirational team of the season
Hairstylists | Former Roommates - 27 yrs & 25 yrs; African and Jamaican-American best friends, hairstylists, and former U of Washington roomies with flagrant (:oh) and flavorful fashion sense planning to run the race for good time's sake; one is calm and jocular while the other is flamboyant but knowledgable
Engaged - 39 yrs; Found true love in each other and they plan to put their relationship to an ultimate test; warmhearted, brave, adventurous, but kind of snappy when people or themselves become annoying
Astronaut Wives - 60 & 70 yrs; Forget sports wives - science wives are the biggest thing (thanks ABC :funny:) since frozen fruit; first ever older recruited team, but a lot of potential to bringing spunk and charm into the race; this team will make everyone smile or laugh with pleasure

I hope the Astronaunt's wife go really far <33

The route is really cool! Slovenia & Cyprus & Kyrgyzstan <33 Songkran's RB in Chiang Mai <3333 (I don't know if the shooting is gonna fit in with the festival time (13-15 Apr) but they can staged it like Holi in TAR13! TAR should have done it in one of their several Thailand's visit! Instead of going on boat and Phuket-BKK combo repeatedly :res:) Toulouse <333 (Although I kind of hope Andorra after Toulouse leg, but Paris is so long overdue and should have given another shot!)
