Rob and Amber Lead ‘Amazing Race: All-Stars’ Cast
Rob and Amber Mariano, TV’s most frequently televised reality couple, will make their expected return to unscripted programming on “The Amazing Race: All-Stars,” leading a cast of favorites.
CBS announced the 11 returning teams on Tuesday (Jan. 16) morning, a group that includes only a single former winner: Joyce and Uchenna Agu, who took the million dollars home after Season 7.
Joyce and Uchenna, if you’ll recall, narrowly beat Rob and Amber, who each competed on a season of “Survivor” before meeting and falling in love on “Survivor: All-Stars.” In addition, the couple televised their wedding and they’ve also begun a new show on Fox Reality.
Among the interesting twists is the mixed team of Eric Sanchez and Danielle “Dee” Turner. Although they competed on separate teams in Season 9 (he finished second, while she was in seventh), they met and have been dating since soon after.
“Amazing Race: All-Stars” will premiere on Sunday, Feb. 18.
