The Amazing Race 10
(Bios) BERTRAM VAN MUNSTER
(Executive Producer, Director and Co-Creator, THE AMAZING RACE 10)
Bertram van Munster has carved out a very special place for himself in global television. He possesses a very imaginative and daring spirit for creating high quality, unique and even rarified cinema verite-style reality television. In September 2005 Bertram, with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, his distinguished partner of six years, earned his third consecutive top reality television Emmy Award (Outstanding Reality Competition Program, 2002, 2003, 2004) for the THE AMAZING RACE, on the Network.
Bertram and his partner, Co-Creator/Co-Executive Producer Elise Doganieri, won the much-coveted 2005 Producers Guild of America (PGA) award for Non-Fiction Television for THE AMAZING RACE and also took home a Family Friendly Award in 2005. Bertram was honored with a Best Director Award nomination this year from the Directors Guild of America, in addition to receiving top award nominations from both the PGA and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD Award).
In early 2003, Bertram created and was the executive producer of the critically acclaimed ABC reality series "Profiles from the Front Line," which put a human face on the war on terrorism by profiling the incredibly brave men and women in the armed forces who are engaged in battling the enemy.
Bertram was also the creator and executive producer of "Wild Things," the hit syndicated adventure series from Paramount Domestic Television, which premiered in 1997 and ran for three consecutive championship seasons. In order to create some 80 hours of "Wild Things," Bertram and his crews traversed some of the world's most inaccessible and inhospitable regions -- from Africa to Alaska -- in search of compelling, reality-style stories.
Prior to his association with Paramount, Bertram most notably served as producer on more than 300 half-hour episodes and three one-hour specials of Fox Broadcasting's long-running prime time series "Cops." During Bertram's tenure, the series received four Emmy Award nominations and was honored with a Television Critics Award. He also served as a consultant on a special Fox sweeps edition of "X-Files" meets "Cops."
Born and raised in Holland, Bertram first worked as an apprentice cameraman for Fox Movietone News. Later, he became a much sought after director-cinematographer on high-end commercials with his Amsterdam-based company, Film Group One, which was regarded as the premiere European production house by the world's top ad agencies.
Earthview maintains satellite offices throughout the globe, including Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Nairobi, Kenya; Johannesburg, South Africa; New Delhi, India, and Bangkok, Thailand.
He makes his home with his wife, Elise, in Los Angeles.

JONATHAN LITTMAN
(Executive Producer, THE AMAZING RACE)
Jonathan Littman began his career in entertainment on Broadway, working as both a stage manager and casting director while still in college. After college, Littman moved from theater to television, starting at ABC in Children’s and Late Night Programming, which led to his first producing job as a segment producer for “Day’s End,” a late night news show that followed “Nightline.”
After moving to California in 1989, Littman joined NBC as Director of Daytime Programs. He left two years later to join the still fledgling FOX network, and spent the next six years working in both current programming and drama development, where he was involved in the development and day-to-day management of “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “Melrose Place” and “The X-Files.”
In 1997, Littman left FOX to create and run a television division for film producer Jerry Bruckheimer. As President of Jerry Bruckheimer Television (JBTV), Littman has been responsible for the development and production of all Bruckheimer series which include “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “CSI: Miami,” “CSI: NY,” “Cold Case,” “Close To Home,” “Without a Trace” and the Emmy Award-winning series “The Amazing Race,” all on CBS. Littman serves as an executive producer on all the series.
He was born in New Jersey and lives in Los Angeles.

Is this a typo or is there a surprise 13th team?

:hithere: joe6606! :welcome:
Since it says AMONG the 12 teams, I interpret it to mean the "set of competitors from last season" are one of the 12 teams.
(I'm curious...who would that team be from last season!!? ??? )

Just the opposite. From the website:
--- Quote ---"You don't need to be, you know, an expert in ancient history or something to figure this out. You just need to know what lipstick Madonna was wearing the other night on 'Entertainment Tonight.'

For me, that's above and beyond the call of duty. :lol3:
But seriously? As I understand the concept, it's very clever, almost brilliant in a Machiavellian sort of way. Instead of attracting viewers to a certain time slot (by making good programs), you can use a contest to "steer" them to a show. Networks can move "eyes" towards an ailing program or (worse yet) direct viewers attention to the ads and product placements in a particular show (in which case the show content becomes almost irrelevant).
