NEW YORK -- A new batch of contestants is ready to hit the starting line when "The Amazing Race 2" kicks off in less than a month on CBS. On Wednesday, host Phil Keoghan visits The Early Show to announce the 11 teams who will race around the world for $1 million.

And we invited so Drew Feinberg and Kevin O'Connor from season one to offer an expert prediction as to how the teams will fare this year's race.
"The Amazing Race 2" premieres with a special episode Monday, March 11, at 10:00 PM, ET/PT and then moves into its regular time slot of Wednesdays at 9:00 ET/PT.

<ELEVEN TEAMS? How many did we have last time?>

There were eleven teams last time, too Car. I have no idea why such an odd number.

Thanks TK, I couldn't remember, and there were so many in the beginning I had to wait a couple of weeks til some got eliminated to really get to know them!
I am thinking...1 episode per team + 2 for the finale=13 and don't networks order shows in 13 wk increments?

Did anyone see the commercial last night during Survivor where they showed the teams?

I laughed so hard at the last team (the frat boy clones) Where the curly headed one said he's not afraid of anything, except running into his mom.

Car,
If I remember correctly, there were 11 teams last year. But what the producers did was: 1 episode per team + 2 for the finale + 2 episodes where no one was eliminated = 13 episodes.

So they had 2 check points where no team was taken out, but they still had to wait the 12 hours to leave again.
Can't remember the details of which stops though.
