The Amazing Race season 14 Cast!!!

CBS has revealed the identities of the 11 teams competing on The Amazing Race's fourteenth season, which will premiere Sunday, February 15 at 8PM ET/PT.

Like all previous The Amazing Race editions, the members of the 11 teams competing on the show's fourteenth installment have a pre-existing relationship with one another. Five teams are made up of family members, four teams consist of couples who are married or dating, and two teams are friends.

In addition to The Amazing Race's first-ever deaf contestant, the cast also includes a gay father and his Hollywood writer/actor son and a team of brothers who are stuntmen.
The Amazing Race 14's teams traveled 40,000 miles in just 22 days and made stops in nine different countries.

In addition to the world's second tallest bungee jump, the course also included bone-chilling Siberian temperatures, the suffocating heat of India, and an Olympic-sized challenge that left the teams "gasping for air," according to CBS. The course also featured The Amazing Race's first-ever trips to Romania and Siberia.

"Heading into our 14th season, I wanted to pull out all the stops. We have extreme climates, intense roadblocks and less time in airports, which adds up to an exhausting course for the racers, said Bertram van Munster, The Amazing Race's co-creator and executive producer. "Whether you're a screenwriter, a Harvard graduate, a jockey or a carpenter, this race will test your stamina, your heart and your will to win."

The Amazing Race 14's premiere will mark the first time CBS has aired fall and spring editions of The Amazing Race in the same season since the show's tenth and eleventh editions aired during the 2006-2007 season.

The 11 teams competing on The Amazing Race's fourteenth season -- as well as their CBS-supplied profile information -- are:

"Brothers/Stuntmen" Mark and Michael Munoz

Mark is a 48-year-old stuntman/actor from Los Angeles, CA. Michael is a 51-year-old stuntman/actor from Maui, HI.

CBS says: This team of brothers has been competing - against everyone else and each other - their entire lives.

"Sibling Lawyers" Tammy and Victor Jih

Tammy is a 26-year-old lawyer from San Francisco, CA. Victor is a 35-year-old lawyer from Los Angeles, CA.

CBS says: If they can manage to set aside sibling rivalries long enough to use their most valuable attribute - their intelligence - this brother/sister duo, both with Harvard Law degrees, might just have what it takes to outsmart the competition and be a force to be reckoned with.

"Sisters" Jennifer and LaKisha Hoffman

Jennifer is a 24-year-old marketing assistant from Louisville, KY. Lakisha is a 28-year-old program coordinator from Bronx, NY.

Flight Attendants" Christie Volkmer and Jodi Wincheski

Christie is a 37-year-old flight attendant from Choctaw, OK. Jodi is a 40-year-old fight attendant from, Houston, TX.

CBS says: These two savvy flight attendants met while working on a Southwest Airlines flight six years ago and they made an instant connection. Both are extremely competitive.

"Former NFL Cheerleaders" Cara Rosenthal and Jaime Edmondson

Cara is a 26-year-old law student from Boca Raton, FL. Jaime is a 29-year-old former police officer from Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

CBS says: Cara and Jaime met three years ago while cheerleading for the NFL's Miami Dolphins. But don't be fooled by their looks, these two women are as tough as they come. Jaime is a former police officer and Cara is planning to attend law school.



"Married Couple" Brad and Victoria Hunt

Brad is a 52-year-old distribution dispatcher. Victoria is a 47-year-old tax manager. They reside in Columbus, OH.
