On the last episode of the Amazing Race 13 the Hippies were eliminated leaving ten teams remaining. This week those ten teams raced throughout Brazil having one of the most mistake filled legs ever seen on the show. It all began where the last leg left off as Starr/Nick and Ken/Tina were the first out of the gate and at the airport. Here they learned the earliest flight to their next location in Brazil was all full. As Tina persisted begging to get on the lady at the flight counter let them know the flight was raised to a larger flight, giving not only them but the rest of the teams availability on the flight.
While at the airport Terence and Sarah continued their crazy antics, complaining that Nick/Star/Tina/Ken were in an alliance and that they “didn’t say hello”. It was actually very funny to see them complaining about that but their quarrel didn’t stop there. Since Tina thought she got the flight changed for everyone she told them all that they owed her. She and Ken then decided to butt in front of everyone in line for the plan, setting Terence off. He didn’t think they deserved to get ahead and started to rip Tina apart. Ken stepped in to save her and the quickly stopped following the commercial break. How convenient.
The Amazing Race is back and with that the Elimination Station is back. After being eliminated from the race the teams get to join their fellow eliminees at a luxurious house in Acapulco Mexico. Last night Anita and Arthur became the first eliminated from The Amazing Race 13 and therefore they get to be the first in Elimination Station. Watch as they are amazed at the house they will be living in. Coming from a farm of bees and being the hippies of the season it is definitely an eye opener for them.
The Amazing Race is back for its 13th season and after winning their sixth Emmy in a row they have a lot to stand up for. Starting once again in Los Angeles, California the new 11 teams began from the Colosseum in California. After getting to know the teams the race began as the teams learned they were to fly to Belize for their first leg. Airport troubles once again struck as most of the teams went into the wrong line for tickets. After finding the new line Terence/Sarah, Mark/Bill, Aja/Ty, Nick/Starr, Kelly/Christy and Ken/Tina landed the first flight out.
While in line the frat brothers Andrew and Dan mentioned how they hoped the flight would be delayed, giving them a better shot as the second flight was three hours behind. Some didn’t take to that too well but it did of course jinx the flight as indeed the first flight to Belize was delayed, but not enough to arrive after the second flight. When landing in Belize the teams had to first find a sandwich shop where they would get a clue to transport a candy cart to a plaza. Terence and Sarah pulled out ahead quickly thanks to Sarah being able to talk the language and they landed the first spot on the sign in sheet in the end, giving them a 9:00 departing time.

With September quickly approaching that means the return of The Amazing Race. Today CBS released the profiles of the 11 new teams that will be taking on the 13th season of the show. Below I give my insight on the cast and how I think they will do. Trust me, we have a few crazies in there for sure.
Toni and Dallas - Mother and Son
Last season we saw the father/daughter team bicker and learn to love each other. For these two it seems the love is already there and they are spending time on the trip to bond even more. I don’t see them fighting to much but rather working well together. While Toni befriends the older teams Dallas can work on the younger teams and have a great combination.
Terence and Sarah - Dating for almost a year
These two look like the cliche couple who loves to argue on the race. Their bio says they are polar opposites and we all know that will lead to some high drama. I can see some fights going on between the two but they will make up fast. They have a good shot at winning as long as they fight in the cab and not during challenges!
Nick and Starr - Brother and Sister
This team seems very “peppy” and excited for the race. Although they say they are now best friends they were once “bitter enemies” which could be interesting. Right now they live several hundred miles apart so it will be interesting to see how they think the other has changed over the years. They also disagree on how to approach things, Nick wants to think things out while Starr wants to jump right in. They should have a good time on the race as long as they can get along.
Mark and Bill - Best Friends and Comic Book fans
These two friends may not be in the best shape on the race but they do claim that they will be the most strategic race ever on the show. If they can outsmart the other teams and win I’d be surprised since luck and actual physical strength is needed. I have a feeling these two will last fairly long and hopefully bring some humorous moments to the season.
Marisa and Brooke - Best Friends
These two are self proclaimed “southern belles” and promise to bring some manners to the race. I have a feeling they’ll be bringing something else as they think flirting will be their biggest assets. I don’t think they’ll make it as far as the blondes from season 9 and All Stars but you never know. They may just surprise us all.
Ken and Tina - Separated Couple
Although these two are separated they are still married and want to use the show to rekindle their relationship. Along with that Ken is an ex-NFL player while Tina is a CEO. Being separated we will surely have two sides to this couple: fighting and bonding. They remind me of the separated couple from season one as their relationship is always changing. I think Ken and Tina’s personal story will be much more interesting then their racing.
Kelly and Christy - Best Friends
I can really see these two ladies having a large rivalry with the two blondes. Both want to be the first all female team to be the winner of the race and these two will do anything to win. Since they have known each other for over 10 years you can be assured they won’t get tired of each other. I don’t see them fighting but rather getting along and possibly gaining that lucrative title of all female winners.
Anthony and Stephanie - Dating Couple
The two claim to be constantly bickering which will either be great TV or get annoying very quickly. Since they split for over a year and got back together only recently before the race I can see some friction between the two. Because of that I doubt they will very far, considering their personal problems seem like they would take up more time then the race for them. I for see a sudden elimination from these two.
Anita and Arthur - Married for 14 years
Each season has to have a cooky team and these two are just that. They are straight up hippies who own a bee farm. You can’t get any crazier then that! Although they are older I hope they do well as they seem like they will bring a ton of fun to the show. They may have difficulty on some of the challenges but where they will shine is their likeability. It seems everyone will want to be their friends as they are the “parents” of the group. Hopefully they stay long but I don’t have high hopes that they will.
Andrew and Dan - Fraternity Brothers
These two claim to be fraternity brothers but they don’t look like your average frat bros. These two remind me of a younger version of the other male team this season. They have a geeky look to them and claim to be the “super bad” team. I have a feeling that just may be the case but since I’m rooting for them I hope they do well. If they can keep the show entertaining yet still compete well I think they’ll be one of the most favorite teams yet.
Aja and Ty - Long Distance Couple
It seems the race has a lot of unconventional couples this season and this is one of them. The two live on opposite sides of the country yet still maintain a relationship. It will surely be interesting to see how they deal with each other as they’ve never been together longer then two weeks. Since Aja is known to be emotional look for some tears for her and if she tends to do that too often she may be crying very quickly at the elimination mat.
