In news that's no surprise to fans, Rob and Amber Mariano, TV's most successful reality couple, will return for another around-the-world trip in "The Amazing Race: All-Stars" which will begins February 18.
Among fan favorites and villians who will be returning are Team Guido, cousins Charla and Mirna, and the fab duo of Ozwald and Danilo.
Also returning are Joyce and Uchenna Agu, the $1 million winners from Season 7 who famously shaved their heads at a fast forward.
Absent from the competition are any teams from The Amazing Race 4, The Amazing Race 6, or the show's disastrous The Amazing Race: Family Edition 8th season.
Rather than basing their casting decisions on only the strength of each team's previous Race finish, the producers also took the teams' personal stories into consideration. "They're not necessarily the winners, but character-wise, they're all-stars in our book," executive producer Bertram van Munster told USA Today.
