Cowboys, B-Ballers and Former NFL Cheerleaders Return for 'Amazing Race' All Stars

It's kinda hard to believe that Amazing Race will hit the starting line with its 18th season on February 20. But this reality-show old-timer is changing things up this season, including airing the show in HD (it's about time; we want to see all those great destinations in hi-def) and featuring an all-star cast of fan favorites.

"Amazing Race: Unfinished Business" will bring the racers across five continents and 23 cities, including Sydney, where they will swim with the sharks, and Tokyo, where they'll swim in freezing Mt. Fuji water. So did your fave racer return for season 18? Check out the full roster this way:

· Season 17's Beauty queen Mallory Ervin and her pops, Gary, who got lost in Oman despite praying a lot.
· Season 16's cowboy bros Jet McCoy and Cord McCoy, who claimed that another team's dishonesty made them lose the No. 1 spot.
· Season 15's Harlem Globetrotters Flight Time and Big Easy, the hilarious and serious contenders seek redemption after a game-ending penalty.
· Season 15 BFFs Zev Glassenberg and Justin Kanew, whose downfall was a lost passport.
· Season 14's engaged couple Amanda Blackledge and Kris Klicka, who were did in by a U-turn from their so-called pals.
· Season 14's former NFL cheerleaders Jaime Edmondson—now a Playboy Playmate—and Cara Rosenthal, who had cab woes.
· Season 14's sporty sisters LaKisha Hoffman and Jennifer Hoffman, who lost out on landing top three because of a bathroom break.
· Season 14's inspiring Luke Adams, whose deafness didn't prevent him from making the top three, and his mom Margie.
· Season 14's father-son pair Mel and Mike White, who got bad luck in the cab driver department in Thailand.
· Season 12's father-daughter duo Ron Hsu and Christina Hsui, who were oh-so-close to the win and landed second.
· Season 12's pink and black attack Kynt Kaliber and Vyxsin Fiala, whose inability to drive stick made them sputter out of the contest.

Although it's an all-star cast, it's only made up of those from season 12 and beyond, which is disappointing. It's also heavy with season 14 teams. Who will you root for? Let us know in the comments below.
