Meet the New Cast from Season 19 of "The Amazing Race"

Season 19 of The Amazing Race begins on CBS on Sunday, September 25th at 8 :00 PM ET, and there will be new twists and turns this time around:

This season, the multi-Emmy Award-winning series sends 11 new Teams on a Race around the globe, making first time visits to exotic locations such as Indonesia, Malawi, Belgium and Denmark. Along the way, Teams will travel through four continents and 20 cities and cover nearly 40,000 miles.
Teams will be tested early and often and met with a new penalty called the “Hazard,” which will impact one Team’s future on the Race right from the starting line. The global journey sets off from the foothills of Southern California where the Teams’ problem solving abilities will be put to the test as they search for clues to their first destination, Taipei, Taiwan. Teams fortunate enough to survive the first leg will find themselves amidst an 8th Century Buddhist temple in Indonesia, riding elephants through the rain forests of Thailand, and racing for their lives when they discover they’re facing the series first ever Double Elimination.

In keeping with it's tradition of being the most gay-inclusive of reality competition shows, this season will include a Team Gay, flight attendants and partners Ron Zeitz and Bill Smith. You can learn more about them below.

You can see the entire cast of 11 teams at the show's website, but we'll single out a few we'll definitely have our eyes on when the show begins.

Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca are both former winners of Survivor, and spousal equivalents to each other. Hopefully Ethan will use his experience on that other show and remember that shirtlessness is a requirement to winning.

Justin and Jennifer Young are a brother and sister team from Georgia. Brother and sister? Excellent, the show always needs some sibling drama. Hopefully old wounds will be opened.

Laurence and Zach Sunderland are a father/son team. When Zach was 16, he became the youngest person to sail around the world solo, but he's 19 now, and a shaggy-haired cutie. But he's worth watching because of all of his ... travel experience.

Kaylani and Lisa are Vegas cocktail waitresses. What other reason do you need to root for them?

Andy and Tommy are professional snowboarders. Andy rocks the hell out of that beard and headband. And they're both totally stoked!

Do you have an early eye on any team?
