By Olivia Montine
The Amazing Race is compiling fan favorites from reality television shows across the board for their new season--and the competition will be fierce.
The 31st season of the show brings back previous contestants from The Amazing Race alongside fan favorites from other reality shows such as Big Brother and Survivor. It's like a high school yearbook of CBS reality competition contestants.
The Phil Keoghan hosted program will feature 11 teams embarking on a 25,000 mile journey--and the first place prize is $1 million.
The contestants include Art Velez, John James "JJ" Carrell,
Colin Guinn, and Christie Woods from past seasons of The Amazing Race. Chris Hammons, Bret Labelle, Corinne Kaplan, and Eliza Orlins from Survivor. Janelle Pierzina, Britney Haynes, Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater from Big Brother.
The new season premieres on April 17.
