The Amazing Race season 32 cast revealed
The cast for season 32 of The Amazing Race is revealed and includes some familiar faces
While racing around the world may not currently be possible due to COVID-19, at least you can still watch other people do it. CBS has released the cast for season 32 of The Amazing Race, and it includes some familiar faces.
Former NFL teammates DeAngelo Williams and Gary Barnidge will be competing together. Running back Williams and tight end Barnidge played together on the Carolina Panthers, where Williams led the league in touchdown runs one season and also made a Pro Bowl. Also racing this season are Olympic hurdlers Kellie Wells-Brinkley and LaVonne Idlette, as well as pro volleyball players Riley and Maddison McKibbin. Eleven teams in total will be battling for the $1 million prize.
While most international travel is still shut down, this edition of the CBS reality competition franchise (which will premiere Oct. 14 on CBS) was actually filmed well before the coronavirus pandemic struck. In fact, the show was in the middle of filming the follow-up 33rd season when it had to cease production and send teams back home due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
“Coming back for the 32nd time on The Amazing Race, I feel we are in a privileged position to show what is right in the world, and to show what’s good in the world,” says host Phil Keoghan in a video promo for the season (watch above). “There’s never been a more important time.”
The teams will start at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and travel to their first destination, Trinidad and Tobago. Along the route, teams will travel to France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and more. Along the way, the pairs will take part in challenges, including several indigenous-themed competitions. Says Keoghan: “I feel like we’ve got back to what I’ve always loved about the show, which is giving an opportunity to so-called ordinary people a chance to race.”
