Cast Announcement Confirms BIG BROTHER’s Jordan & Jeff Have Joined AMAZING RACE!!
I am – Hercules!!
It seems like every season since CBS’ “Big Brother” launched, the contestants have been musing on the live feeds about finding their ways also onto the pioneering series’ sister reality shows on CBS. Nearly a decade later, it’s finally happened, with Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd joining the 16th edition of “The Amazing Race,” launching Valentine’s Day.
UPDATE: Talkbacker geeko2000 points out correctly that Alison Irwin from the fourth and seventh seasons of "Big Brother" competed on "Amazing Race" with her boyfriend. I completely forgot!
The press release reveals also we’re getting cowboys, detectives, lesbians, a pro baseball coach and a grandmother-granddaughter team:
CBS ANNOUNCES THE 11 TEAMS RACING IN THE EMMY AWARD-WINNING SERIES, "THE AMAZING RACE," PREMIERING FEBRUARY 14
Eleven Teams Hit the Road for a 40,000-Mile Sprint around the Globe and Find Themselves in the Midst of a World War I Re-enactment, Retracing the Early Days of The Beatles and Come Face-to-Face with One of the World's Most Infamous Villains
CBS today announced the 11 Teams set to compete in the 16th edition of THE AMAZING RACE, premiering Sunday, Feb. 14 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Emmy Award nominee Phil Keoghan is the host.
Contestants will travel nearly 40,000 miles across five continents and eight countries. Eleven Teams start off by navigating through the congested streets of Los Angeles and, for the first time ever, must rely solely on public transportation to make their way to LAX. The Teams' first destination lies in Chile where they will encounter one of the most daunting Roadblocks in the history of the series. In their ongoing battle for the one million dollar prize, Teams will participate in a grueling World War I reenactment in France, retrace the early days of the iconic rock group, The Beatles, and come face-to-face with one of the world's most infamous villains.
Season 16 features Teams from all walks of life, including couples, parents, siblings, friends, models, lawyers, detectives and even cowboys.
The Emmy Award-Winning THE AMAZING RACE received its seventh consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Reality Competition Program last year.

That cracked me the hell up. I like this show, but I always forget to watch it.
-
Seriously.
-
I'm in Carol & Brandy's corner already. Because they're adorable.
-
Their last names Wang
-
A new 240hz LED TV to watch Amazing Race on! Wait! Where are you going?
-
Was so obvious they would be together for awhile (if not marriage). Bring on the next Big Brother!
-
In fact, it's so unimportant, I'd sooner read Twilight News. Big Brother, the few times I attempted to view was full of scum people with nothing to offer in life to anyone. Amazing Race was okay for a while, but who really cares and tell me why you care. I don't understand. At all.
-
I'd do Grandma!...Grannie got a hot body
-
huge fan of theirs on BB, I think all us BB fans wanted this. Can't wait!
-
oh my bad...I got confused...I was looking at the wrong caption...the grandma is not hot...it's the 2 lesbian chicks that are hot...the captions are underneath the pic not above it..DOH!
-
Your posts made me laugh!
-
TAR - best reality / competition show on TV. I'm ready for seasons 16-30!
-
that was awesome :)
-
Classic.
-
made it on The Amazing Race. Alison from BB4 was the first. She competed with her boyfriend at the time. Peace out!
-
The ones on the last season seemed too easy, especially on the final leg.
-
Not anymore. Kind of hard to go undercover when millions of people know who you are (and what you do for a living).The McPoyle Clan, I agree with the final leg last season. Nothing all that difficult, just time-consuming. Surprised they didn't do the memory challenge like they usually do.
-
Ok, Amazing Race would be a great reality show to BE on, but is the WORST to watch. It's totally sexist and boring. My standards for reality TV are very low (for example, I watched Jeff and Jordumb on Big Brother) but not so low to watch this.
I actually think the EMmy always goes to this show just because it is so very, very boring. But "respectable." What-ever!
