Topic: TAR 27 Contestant **Spoilers**

[georgiapeach]

Once the race is underway...THIS is the place to post team pics to help us get them all ID'd!

Counting on everyone's eagle eyes!


If you would like to share info privately, my email is in my profile or you can register and PM me. All info is completely confidential.


As y'all know, RFF does not reveal the ID's of any racers until teams are safely underway. So hang tight!

[Boingo]

   MissCleo is currently tweeting casting spoilers for TAR27... err, well, she's tweeting which former BB cast members will NOT be racing.     Take it FWIW.   

[georgiapeach]

Regardless of what MissCleo chooses to reveal, RFF NEVER reveals any contestants prior to the start of the race, and certainly not before sequester.

Any premature reveal could put a contestant at risk of contract violation and of being removed from the cast.

No cast discussion until the race is underway please. Thanks everyone!

[georgiapeach]

Contestants safely entered sequester on 6/17/15. 

Wishing them all the adventure of a lifetime!!

I i have spec for one of Team TMZ:

Shevonne Sullivan.

I'm not sure who her partner is but I think it could be Kelly Berning, another TMZ staffer who hasn't been active on Twitter for quite some time.

@strainosaleij yeah I've seen tons of them but I don't know who any of them are. People in blue, pink and purple

We may have to watch the open start to identify them.

Laura and Jenny from TAR26 say there's a team of cuties from Texas (They say "their boyfriends" on IG xD). I bet it's the orange M/M team.

[mjharmstone]

According to a poster on Facebook, the red M/M team is E-Knock and Jin, brothers from Boston, MA. They both appeared on America's Best Dance Crew Season 1 as part of the crew Status Quo and E-Knock appeared on SYTYCD as well apparently.

[SouthernDucks]

Yay for a black M/M team!

That is Jin and Eknock from Boston, MA. They were on America's Best Dance Crew season 1 and Eknock was also on So You Think You Can Dance. This is according to a friend of theirs on FB.

That press release is official, there's no reason for it to have been removed.

Still have to match names and faces, though.

Here's the press release from that very same URL posted above:

Eleven new teams began the journey of a lifetime this morning when THE AMAZING RACE kicked off its 27th trip around the world in Venice Beach, Calif. After completing their first challenge, the teams are now en route to their first destination, Rio de Janeiro. The new season of THE AMAZING RACE premieres Friday, Sept. 25 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan (@PhilKeoghan) is the host. Additional details will be announced at a later date.

Following are the 11 teams competing on the upcoming season of THE AMAZING RACE:

     Ernest Phillips and Jin Lao, brothers from Boston
     Denise Williams and James Earl Corley, mother and son from Prattville, Ala.
     Cindy and Rick Chac, newlyweds from San Diego, Calif.
     Alex Manard and Adam Dingeman, cousins from Chicago and Des Moines, Iowa, respectively
     Justin Scheman and Diana Bishop, engaged couple from Philadelphia
     Jazmine Lewis and Danielle Littleton, athletes from Los Angeles
     Tanner Kloven and Josh Ahern, best friends from Dallas
     Kelly Berning and Shevonne Sullivan, TMZ editor and post production supervisor, respectively, from Los Angeles
     Kelsey Gerckens and Joey Buttitta, dating news anchors from Santa Barbara, Calif.
     Logan Fazio and Chris Gordon, dating paparazzi from Miami Beach, Fla.
     Tiffany Chantell Torres and Krista DeBono, friends from Hoboken, N.J., and Staten Island, N.Y., respectively

Amazing facts about the reigning Emmy-Award winner THE AMAZING RACE!

     Last season, THE AMAZING RACE notched its 10th Emmy Award win for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program
     Nominated in the category every year since its inception in 2003
     15 total Emmy wins, including other categories
     65 total Emmy nominations

THE AMAZING RACE sends 11 teams on a trek around the world. Each Team is comprised of two people who have a pre-existing relationship with one another. At every destination, each Team competes in a series of challenges — some mental and some physical — and when the tasks have been completed, they learn their next destination. Teams who are farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning at least $1 million.

Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster, Jonathan Littman, Elise Doganieri and Mark Vertullo are the executive producers for Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Earthview Inc. in association with ABC Studios and Amazing Race Productions. THE AMAZING RACE was created by Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri.

Team Green until we match them to a name...

[Chateau d If]

Using the CBS official list of Racer names, this is obviously Cindy and Rick Chac:  "Chacattack"

[Alenaveda]

Cheerleaders!

The girls should be Tiffany Chantell Torres and Krista DeBono, friends from Hoboken, N.J., and Staten Island, N.Y., respectively

DENISE, 51 & JAMES EARL, 25 - MOTHER/SON

Some background on Denise & James Earl.

James Earl Corley was named Head Drum Major at Auburn University in 2010.
Denise Corley Williams served the City of Prattville as its first Special Events Director, the census and public records show her as 51-years-old.

See photos of James Earl taken from his public Facebook profile, below.

[Belle Book]

I think I'll like Jasmine & Danielle -- the black ff team, Tiffany & Krista -- the cheerleaders -- and Cindy and Rick most at first glance.  I'm familiar with E-Knock so I might like him and his partner and the engaged couple are from Philly (near Pottstown, where I grew up) so I might like them as well.

I'm never fond of alpha-male teams, so already I hope Tanner and Josh don't make the finals.

[fossil-racer]

Moved delete

[Kiwi Jay]

Post that kind of discussion in the discussion thread that's been created please guys, this thread is for spoilers of teams and relevant information, as we uncover them

LOGAN FAZIO (OF LOGAN & CHRIS - DATING PAPARAZZI)
Logan Fazio's website is www.thesemiamistreets.com. She has attracted multiple attention from news outlets for being 'the beautiful, bikini wearing paparazzo' - her age is listed at 36 on an acting website, though this could be outdated.

I'm never fond of alpha-male teams, so already I hope Tanner and Josh don't make the finals.

My main interest is seeing the most competent teams make the final three/four, so if Tanner/Josh are one of those most competent teams, I have no problem with that.

Well, I can see your point.

Scheman and Bishop's storyline; I wouldn't be surprised if the other "civilian" teams had story hooks as well.

Found some background info on Jazmine & Danielle (Team "Lavender Love").

Both of them competed in collegiate-level track & field at University of California-Riverside!

Here's a good shot of the TMZ girls at the line up.

[Chateau d If]

Here's Bertram, Alex, and Adam at the start line.

[Chateau d If]

And here are Chris and Logan sizing up the competition.

I'm liking this team.  How come?      

[theschnauzers]

When I was doing a quick search about Tanner and Josh, the "best friends" after the start Monday, I found that they're both grads from Texas Tech, and both are sales marketing reps for medical pharmaceutical supply businesses. That would suggest a team with very high social skills with others, i.e., other teams and with locals.

[Platrium]

There's also this one, not sure if this has been posted before:

http://www.buzzfeed.com/alivelez/this-guy-faked-the-amazing-race-to-propose-to-his-girlfriend#.bwEwqrpmk

Someone posted this on the "Awesome TAR themed proposal" thread. Glad they're in the race now, for real.

Local Reporters Join Reality Show

Two local KEYT reporters have joined the newest season of the hit CBS show, The Amazing Race.

http://www.edhat.com/site/tidbit.cfm?nid=154826

[TARUSAFan]

I did a quick search on Adam Dingeman, from the Cousins team and the search revealed he is an actor. Adam Dingeman is seen in The Crazies (2010), Lab Rats (2012) and Glee (2009). He also has a broadway appearance The Burnt Part Boys .

Below are 2 pics, first one is the broadway musical and the second one is the one from Glee, he is on the far right of the picture.

As if my name doesnt already give it away; im definitely pulling for the cheerleaders.  In fact, ive met one of these 2 at an event in the past.  Go cheerleaders!!

[PikaBelleChu]

...and so with Tanner Kloven and Josh Ahern in Instagram photos:

[Marionete]

This is pretty random, but it's strange to me that Tanner's last name is very similar to mine (Klovas), while he is American and I'm Lithuanian

[BritishTARFan]

This is pretty random, but it's strange to me that Tanner's last name is very similar to mine (Klovas), while he is American and I'm Lithuanian

He could have Lithuanian ancestors?

[Marionete]

I doubt it, it would be more recognizable I think. Like, Aras & Vytas (Baskauskas) are pretty typical Lithuanian names, while Tanner Kloven is probably just coincidentially similar.

[RachelLeVega]

European ancestry, but first-generation American perhaps?

Just putting it out there, that's IS a picture of Tanner but that is NOT a correct picture of Josh... That's some random soccer player.

[Castaway]

Thank you for information.

I hope Tanner & Josh will make it far. When they were last seen?

The best place to look for that would be here: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,31236.msg1100607.html#msg1100607

Thank you, georgiapeach.

Until I went on her Twitter yesterday, I thought Logan was the male of Logan & Chris    Never knew that was a unisex name.

And I see she's a Bieber fan. That drops them down my list =/

[Marionete]

What, how could Chris be a female name
Christina yes, but Chris

[BritishTARFan]

What, how could Chris be a female name
Christina yes, but Chris

It usually is Chritina eg: Ron & Chris = Ronald & Christina 

[stekay]

Cept Ashe was always Christina

[smiley]

What, how could Chris be a female name
Christina yes, but Chris

She could have shortened it to Chris and that she goes by. I know a few female Chris's.

[theschnauzers]

We've had Kris....same name, different spelling, can be male or female as well.

[Platrium]

I was actually confused who was who in Logan & Chris because I thought that both are guys names. When I thought through it again, I then thought that both could be female names too. So I was confused until I triple checked.

[NumfarPTB]

And official pics and descriptions are up:
