Welcome Back, Phil: Amazing Race 12 Starts This Sunday

November 2, 2007 at 10:30 AM | by | Comments (0)

Amazing Race 12 starts Sunday night, and you know we're on the case. Every Monday after the show, which premieres at 8 pm Eastern, we'll recap the best and (more likely) the worst of each episode. We'll also be plotting the race locations on our interactive Amazing Race Map, as we've done the past three seasons.

Until we see the racers on the course, there's no way to know who has what it takes to win the $1 million prize. But that won't stop us from handicapping the favorites after the jump.

Shana and Jennifer are definitely this season's Dustin and Kandice. They certainly have the arrogance and pride to stay at the front of the pack, but history's against them. Despite two Race appearances, DuKa still couldn't win it.

Father-daughter duo Ronald and Christina have some serious international travel chops (and Ronald has the guts to wear a "Who's Your Daddy" shirt). But no father-daughter team has ever won the Race, and Ronald's straight-laced attitude might not play well on the course where improvisation and flexibility are key.

A couple more teams are worth watching. Obviously the goth team of Kynt and Vyxsin is getting some press--we're hoping they're axed immediately. (Seriously: Her name is Vyxsin? Come on.) And if their publicity photo is any indication, we'll be calling Marianna and Julia the ice queens by Monday morning.

So who do we have to win it? Lorena and Jason channel Season 10 racers Rob and Kimberly with their opposites-attract relationship. Plus Jason has a total Mark Wahlberg thing going on, which has to be a good thing. If these two can avoid arguments and work together with one other team, they have a good shot at winning the Race.
