The Amazing Race 18 Teams Revealed and Confirmed
And the day all Amazing Race fans have been waiting for (or dreading) is finally here. USA Today broke the news overnight in preparation for today’s print edition, officially confirming the list for the new season of The Amazing Race entitled “Unfinished Business.”
While the list has been confirmed with the help of spoiler moles and TAR fans everywhere, there was no official confirmation until today.
My take on the teams and the entire debacle season’s premise in the next post, but here, presenting the eleven teams competing for a second chance on the upcoming 18th season of The Amazing Race, premiering Sunday, February 20th on CBS.
