CBS on Wednesday revealed the 11 teams that will compete for the $1 million prize on the 22nd season of The Amazing Race, which premieres at 8 p.m. Feb. 17.
Among the teams are a pair of roller derby moms, country singers, professional hockey player brothers, YouTube hosts, twin OB/GYNs and father-and-son cancer survivors.
This season of the Phil Keoghan-hosted competition will feature a new twist wherein the first team to check in at the first pit-stop will earn two “Express Passes” -- one to keep for themselves and one that must be given to another team by the end of the fourth leg of the race.
The teams will travel more than 30,000 miles this season, visiting five continents and nine countries. Among their tasks will be skydiving from 10,000 feet in Bora Bora, participating in a Shemozzle race in New Zealand, hunting for scorpions with the Bushmen of Botswana and scaling the treacherous north face of the Eiger Mountain in Switzerland.
