Amazing Race Season 16 (big brother, on tv, house, actress)

[momof2dfw]

Premiers February 14th
WOO-HOO!!!!!
From a local article here since someone in the area will be on it:
Arlington couple among 'Amazing Race' teams | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | Latest News

Some excerpts from it:
A few of this season's contestants have previously been in the spotlight, including former "Big Brother" houseguests Jordan Lloyd, 22, and Jeff Schroeder, 31, as well as former Miss Teen South Carolina Caitlin Upton, 20, who is racing with her boyfriend, Brent Horne, 28. Upton said she wanted to redeem herself on the race after her infamous 2007 pageant flub involving a confused and mangled response to a geography question.
Great........ another beauty pageant person. LOL!!!!

For the first time, when the teams departed "The Amazing Race" starting line, they had to rely solely on public transportation - no rental cars, no taxis - to make their way from downtown Los Angeles to the airport, a world-class challenge in itself. Executive producer Bertram van Munster said the racers then headed to Valparaiso, Chile. Other stops included France and the Seychelles.

"We have never been to that place before," van Munster said of the lush island destination off the east coast of Africa. "We were looking into going to Africa, but I couldn't find any countries that would fit into the entire scheme of the race, and I wanted to go to an original place. It's very beautiful. It's very remote. It takes forever to get there."

No mention if they are going to India AGAIN or not.

Oh my, this will be good - count me in! I can't believe the dim bulb from SC is going to get another opportunity to publicly humiliate herself - I am sure she will avail herself of it in due time!

I don't know but those names sound familiar????? Especially Cord McCoy. I can't place it though. Maybe when I see them or something it will click.

I got to see Colt McCoy on Sunday. Got his pic and autograph. He was in Plano.
