The Amazing Race 17 Contestant Spoilers **summary in post 1**
Caelestor:
TAR 5, considered one of the more popular seasons, had a bunch of stunt-casting (including 4 BQs). Who knows?
Competitor:
I don't doubt that they make good competitors. Naturally, they are young and fit and used to some form of competition. I just don't like the lack of diversity in backgrounds and the (most-likely) recruiting that is going on...

I doubt all of their pageant pasts will be revealed on-air, anyway. Marsha from TAR5 was a pageant competitor, too, as was Christie, and I believe Alison was, too, and none of them mentioned it. The only one who did was Nicole.
I think perhaps only Megan & Jennifer's pasts will be revealed since they're a team of beauty queens.

Good points by all. Production and casting gets paid the big bucks to make these decisions. Initially, I don't like it, but let's see how it all pans out.

Before anyone criticizes CBS employees by name, shouldn't we be 100% certain the contestant identifications are correct and there really are 4 former pageant contestants on this season?
