According to RFF, The Amazing Race started filming at LAX this past weekend . There is a familiar team in the mix. I will refrain from naming them, because I do not want it to be true. I guess it could be good news depending on your perspective.
Looks true to me, UCLA hat and all...

There is a picture of part of the cast standing outside gate 42B...that's terminal 4, which is Qantas...which means the first leg should be in Australia.
EDIT: Actually, RFF seems to think they are heading to Buenos Aires, Argentina via Miami.
Why must CBS start disappointing me once more with this casting? I'm super ugh about it considering I can't stand Brenchel in the slightest. I would honestly rather see Russell from Survivor than them.
I can't stand them either but it should make for good tv. I can't believe they are already taping a new season. I guess it makes sense as they do 2 seasons a year. Looking forward to seeing who else is going to be on next season.

Exactly my thoughts. I guess its a good way to draw in Big Brother viewers, or turn them completely away from the race (like myself).
I refuse to watch this until they are gone, so hopefully they go first.

I quit BB this summer because of Rachel and I guess she is now going on to infect another reality show I enjoy.
I hoping they lose their passports on the first leg.

Don't worry, B, someone would miraculously find it and return them to the airport! ;)
RFF marked the start as Bridlewood Winery in Santa Ynez, CA, so we're probably looking at another East coast finale.
EDIT: Although, teams are going the opposite way; they went from LAX to Argentina, to Paraguay, and eventually ended up in Torino, Italy. Maybe there will be West coast start and end points.
RFF seems to think that Andrew and Elliot Weber are a team.
28-year-old Andrew has played in the MLS for the San Jose Earthquakes and DC United, and his twin brother Elliot is in a band out of Arizona.
They've also confirmed the finish mat as being in Honolulu, with a penultimate leg in Osaka, Japan.

Let's hope this time a team can't speak Japanese...
Some more additions:
Amateur MMA fighter Ralph Kelley is racing with his girlfriend, Vanessa Macias.
Manchester, Kentucky mechanic Bill "Bopper" Minton is racing with Mark Jackson (relationship unknown). They are believed to have been eliminated in Torino.
Premiere date February 19, 2012.
Unfortunately, it would appear as though the suckhole that is Jersey Shore is permeating into the shows we know and love...
RFF is currently speculating that some guy named Joey Lasalla, from New York, is on the show. He is Snooki's personal trainer. His partner is only currently known as "Danny H", also from NY.
