‘The Amazing Race’ Cast Revealed: ‘Big Brother’ Alums & Their Companions (PHOTOS)
Big Brother fan-favorites are coming to The Amazing Race Season 38. CBS unveiled the cast, along with their travel companions, on Thursday, August 14, after teasing the cast with mysterious headshots a la Big Brother. Get a glimpse of the cast, which includes 14 former Houseguests (three of them former winners), in the teaser trailer above.
The Amazing Race Season 38 cast includes one pair with two Big Brother alums, and it’s a power couple of the franchise. Taylor Hale and Kyland Young, who are dating in real life, will compete in The Amazing Race. Kyland competed on Big Brother Season 23, and Taylor won Season 24. With the exception of Season 12 and 18, most of the players in this cast competed in the 20s seasons of Big Brother.
The Amazing Race Season 38 premieres on a special night, Thursday, September 25, at 9/8c on CBS. It will have its regular time period premiere on Wednesday, October 1, at 9:30/8:30c after Survivor. The October 1 episode will not be a repeat of the premiere; it will be Season 38 Episode 2.
The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan invites some of Big Brother‘s fiercest competitors to exit the house and race in the real world when 13 fan-favorite houseguests embark on a European adventure with their travel companion, on the 38th season of the Emmy-winning CBS Original series. And after having its biggest cast ever in Season 37, the reality competition show is delivering another series first in Season 38 outside of its Big Brother cast.
The Houseguests-turned-Racers kick off the season in Amsterdam where they face classic game pieces and unexpected twists right off the bat. For the first time in The Amazing Race history, teams face their first challenge before even lining up on the starting line — the first team to complete the task receives an express pass and the last team to complete the task faces the consequences of a Hazard. Along the route, teams will reach new heights in Prague, bathe like a king in Budapest, and skydive nearly 13,000 feet over Romania.
“The Amazing Race takes the Racers and viewers on an unforgettable journey,” said co-creators and executive producers Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri. “With a traveling crew of over 100 people, over the course of 38 seasons, we have traveled to nearly 100 countries and over 1 million miles, an extraordinary feat of storytelling and logistics. For this season, it was fun to bring the former Big Brother players out of the house and on an adventure in the real world, as the Race is a global triumph that continues to inspire and connect people all over the world.”
The Amazing Race can be seen on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ Premium plan subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs). Paramount+ subscribers will have access to stream live via the live feed of their local CBS affiliate on the service, as well as on demand. Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream live, but will have access to on-demand the day after the episode airs.

The article says there are 13 "fan-favorite" BB alums. When I count the alums, there are only 13 total. With one of those 13 being Angela, I take issue with the term "fan favorite." She was annoying AF.

O
Will it be fun watching her get out then probably the first ones
-

C
I have no interest in watching a full season of BB on Amazing Race.
This was a dumb idea for true Amazing Race loyalist.

I think it is an awesome idea and u are dumb

I was almost on board with this upcoming season until I saw Angela would be on it. I will gladly and easily pass on this one!
-

I think it'll be so fun to watch Angela get out right away because she has no physical strength. You guys are just no fun go watch. Something else is boring then this is gonna be so fun. I'm excited. Probably best you don't watch it. You're boring. I heard if you're bored you're probably boring.

Horrible casting choice.
I didn't want to see a Big Brother show.
-
C
We have no desire to watch a cast of BB re-treads compete. A few BB's would have been fine but this is ridiculous. Extremely poor casting choice!
-
C
Angela and Taylor both. Don't think I will watch this season
-
O
Probably better if you don't, I think it's gonna be amazing
