Although it’s not entirely new news (this had been leaked awhile back), it is official: The Amazing Race All-Stars teams have been announced. I’m looking forward to seeing the “all-star” concept played out on one of the best reality shows around. This is sure to be a fun-filled ride with the following contestants, although some were not as memorable to me as others:

• Dustin Seltzer and Kandice Pelletier (a.k.a. “the beauty queens”—ack!) from Season 10
• Joe Baldassare and Bill Bartek (“Team Guido”) from Season 1
• Kevin O’Connor and Drew Feinberg from Season 1
• Ozwald Mendez and Danilo Jimenez from Season 2
• John Vito Pietanza and Jill Aquilino from Season 3
• Uchenna Agu and Joyce Agu, the winners of Season 7
• David Conley, Jr. and Mary Conley (“team Kentucky”) from Season 10
• Charla Baklayan Faddoul and Mirna Hindoyan from Season 5
• Rob Mariano and Amber Mariano from Season 7
• Teri Pollack and Ian Pollack from Season 3
• Eric Sanchez and Danielle Turner from Season 9

Most interesting among the teams is the pairing of Season nine’s Eric and Danielle, who participated in separate teams during that season. The two dated soon after the season ended. The Amazing Race All-Stars premieres Sunday, February 18th.
