'The Amazing Race' Cast Brings Together Total Strangers

The Amazing Race is the grandpa of reality competition shows. It's old, well-established, and entertaining. The show is now entering its 29th season. Usually, pairs of two people who know each other well race around the world competing for a million dollars. Audiences love watching as family, friends, and lovers compete and find victory or defeat together. The Amazing Race is mixing it up this season by pairing complete strangers together. It's actually the first time in the show's 29-season history that this has happened. Twenty-two strangers will meet on day one, where they will pair up and begin the adventure of a lifetime. So, who are the members of The Amazing Race 2017 cast? I have the full list for you below, and it doesn't disappoint.

Pairing up strangers promises great television. Executive producer and co-creator of The Amazing Race, Elise Doganieri, said in an intro video for the season, "I think there's going to be two types of sparks. Probably love sparks. And probably fiery drama sparks." I would have to agree; there's so much potential. And, the cast has everything from firefighters to math champs to models, so it's a good mix. Meet the exciting group of soon-to-be world travelers below and hear what they had to say in their revealing CBS video bios.

Kevin Ng

This certified athletic trainer lives by the motto, "long hair, don't care." He would buy a bunch of puppies if he won and probably would let their fur grow shaggy and long.

Becca Droz

Becca is a climbing instructor who has three siblings, two big braids, and one goal to win. With a degree in outdoor leadership and a huge smile, she is ready to run around the world.

Redmond Ramos

Right off the bat, Redmond is probably the most likable of the cast and he knows it saying, "And who's not gonna like me?" Redmond was a combat medic for the marines before losing his leg and is now a motivational speaker.

Olivia "Olive" Beauregard

Olive is a firefighter from Boston complete with an accent and an east coast attitude. She hopes for a partner who won't quit and wants to make her department back home proud.
