Amazing Race 27 Cast Spoilers - 11 Teams to Compete

Amazing Race 27 Cast Spoilers

On Thursday, The Amazing Race 27 cast began their television journey from Venice Beach, California. The kick off was public. Fans were encouraged to show up and watch as host Phil Keoghan saw the teams off.

Shortly thereafter, CBS revealed the 11 teams taking part in the latest race around the  world. Because of course,  they would have leaked anyway!

After completing their first challenge, the teams headed out to their first destination, Rio de Janeiro.

The dating twist from the previous season has been put aside, for couples who have “pre-existing relationships.” The teams are the typical mixture of dating and married couples, family members, friends, etc.

There’s some fun stuff on the Amazing Race Facebook page. A group of past winners were on hand to see the teams off, including the very first winner of the race, and a season 26 winner, Laura.
