Meet the Teams
Miss America 2004 Ericka Dunlap (a Delta Sigma Theta) and her husband are contestants. Cheyne Whitney, another contestant, is a Sigma Chi from SDSU. Not too sure of other Greeks this season.

They had an open casting call here a few weeks ago for the Amazing Race....i'm so upset I didn't go 
But YAY!! I <3 the Amazing Race
ETA: Reading the info they had, they said that Zev Glassenberg has Asperger's. From someone that knows little about Autism and less about Asperger's, i'll be interested to see how he does in this competition.

How you know the GLO affiliations? Also I find it awesome that one of the teams is made up of former globetrotters.

I did a search for the Cheyne guy and his name came up on an SDSU Sigma Chi website. The People article says the couple reconnected at a frat party.
I knew about Ericka Dunlap's affiliation because of the discussion in the DST forum after she won Miss America a few years ago.

I love TAR and I wish they would allow Canadians to participate. So far, the only Canadians that I have seen on American shows has been "The Bachelor".

I think it has to do with the fact the Bachelor has no prize money. It's something to do with taxation.
The Amazing Race would also have issues of different issuing countries for passports.

Are you talking about "visas" to enter the different countries that the racers travel to? You would only need 1 passport -- your own.

Phil did an interview awhile ago (I think for CTV?) where he said there may be issues of border guards letting Canadian passport holders through more quickly than American at customs, which could give teams unfair advantages. I remember he said they had a Swiss crew member who always cleared way before anyone else on the crew.

That would be sweet, if you could work it to your advantage. Some people have more than one passport, which could work nicely, like if you had an EU passport and you were in Europe (which TAR pretty much travels to, every time).
And yeah, part of me is all  right now about having a Canadian passport. That is all!

I don't like the meathead guy - he seems like a jerk. I like the 2 gay brothers and some of the more athletic teams.

Phil sure was taken a back when Garrett showed his temper at the end. Sure hope that Jessica gets a clue and disappears soon. Not someone she wants to marry!

Well... looks like that will happen.
Garrett proposes to Jessica right after they are elimated and the cameras were right there.
