As we've been anticipating, the next season of The Amazing Race is indeed an All-Star version. CBS revealed the teams the other day, so you know I have to get in my two cents on them. And, but of course, I welcome your two cents, too. For the skinny on the first six teams I wrote about, head to this article.
Here are the rest of the teams, again in no particular order:
Often a team I loved to hate during Season 1, I'm happy to see that Team Guido, Joe and Bill, are included this season. These guys are cut-throat, albeit very entertaining to watch. Even though they only made a third place finish in their season, the other teams shouldn't take these two lightly. They're the ones who started the matching team outfits. Mary (TAR10) may have had a very different first impression of gay men had she met Team Guido instead of Tom and Terry in her season. Ruthless competitors, but true TAR history, welcome back Joe and Bill!

Eric and Danielle come to us from Season 9, in which they were competitors, not a team at all. Eric was teamed up with his buddy Jeremy and they made it to second place. Meanwhile, Danielle was with her best friend Dani and only made it to a seventh place finish. Oh, but they're dating now and coming together as a team for All-Stars. I'm a bit ambivalent about the idea of them as a team, but I think they might be fairly competitive. As long as they don't bicker and fuss at each other, I can take 'em on the show... I guess.

Oh, no! It's the return of the "Evil Beauty Queens" from Season 10... which we just finished watching a month ago. To their credit, I admit that they're a very strong all-female team and I was surprised they only finished in fourth place in their own season. It still bugs me that they saddled the ChoBros with their wrecked car instead of taking their chances with the damage they created. That was a very low move, I say. That aside, it will be interesting to see how these two fare when the show most likely won't get into alliances.

i do like some of the teams but i wanted to see some early eliminated temas like jim and marsha (season 5), bob and joyce (season 5), gus and hera and a little bit kris and jon
i also think that no winners teams should be in this all stars season so i hope uchena and joyce be the first eliminated team
i also hate that there are only 11 teams

Unless something happened and I don't know, the Amazing Race's producers made a huge mistake not calling the best team ever to run the race, not only good navegating, or choosing good flights, performing well at road blocks and detours, or avoiding elimnation at the last possible moment, but the most enjoyble to watch team, with a lot of witt and determination not to forget about the laughs. Team Ken and Gerard
And also the team that thinks outside the box, one of my favorite teams ... Aaron and Areane.
That said I have to tell that I am very, very, very excited about the all stars and I am looking forward to watching every episode twice.

I can't stand Rob and Amber! I love this show but do you know that the host and producer favor these two idiots. The last time they were on they get a prize every time they come in first. Whenever any of the other team come in first they get nothing. I hope Rob and Amber get the boot so I can enjoy this show again. I'm sorry but these idiots does make the ratings for the show. They're killing it instead. Please let this be their last reality show (15 minutes of fame) and let them go back to being the losers that they are.

Get rid of Rob and Amber! They're nothing but a couple of losers who think they are so smart but my dog is a lot smarter than the two of them.
