Amazing All-Stars

It's already the best reality show on television, but this season's all-star edition of The Amazing Race is off to a great start. What is that you say? It's not an all-star edition? But I've seen all these teams before!


You have Ron & Kimberly, the overbearing boyfriend with the insecure girlfriend (Colin & Christie, Jonathan & Victoria, Lake & Michelle).

You have Tom & Terry, the over-the-top flamboyant gay guys (Oswald & Danny, Lynn & Alex).

You have Kellie & Jamie, the sweet but hapless girls (Lena & Kristy).

You have Dustin & Kandice, the dumb blondes (Megan & Heidi).

You have Duke & Lauren, the parent who struggles with his child's homosexuality (Susan & Patrick, Steve & Josh, Dennis & Andrew).

You have Lyn & Karlyn, the black mothers from the South (Monica & Sheree).

You have David & Mary, the ignorant bible-thumping rednecks (Weaver family, Cyndi & Russell).

You have Tyler & James, the silly himbo male models (Eric & Jeremy, Brian & Greg, David & Jeff).

You have Erwin & Godwin, the brothers who are very different but still very close (Ken & Gerard).

You have Peter & Sarah, the girl who is prone to meltdowns and the guy who has keep her from going off the deep end (Brandon & Nicole, Flo & Zach, Adam & Rebecca -- though Adam was the girl).

And you have a couple of random minority teams thrown in for the purposes of diversity who got eliminated by the end of the first episode (Tramel & Talicia, Black family).

Isn't typecasting wonderful?!
