Who are the 'Amazing Race' Contestants? Your Favorite Reality TV Stars are Back for the Global Competition

The Amazing Race Season 31 premiere is just around the corner, and the cast has finally been announced. This year, the lineup is full of veteran reality TV stars, from Big Brother favorites to past Amazing Race runners. Here's the full list of those competing on the award-winning CBS competition, which premieres April 17.

RETURNING AMAZING RACE TEAMS

• Colin Guinn and Christie Woods

These life partners were previously seen on The Amazing Race Season 5, where they finished in second place. They've been together almost 18 years, according to an Instagram post by Guinn in 2016. The couple was featured on the show 15 years ago, and claimed the format of the series has changed a bit since they last played. Guinn commented on their training for the series on Instagram, and posted a photo of he and Woods backpacking in Sedona, Arizona.

• Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran

The third time is hopefully the charm for this team. Temory and Zardan are from both The Amazing Race Season 23 and The Amazing Race: All-Stars, finishing fourth both times. The cousins are longtime fan favorites.

• Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl

Oakley and Kuhl were previously seen on The Amazing Race Season 28, where they made it all the way to the finale before coming in third place. The friends are both successful YouTube content creators.

• Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce

Previously seen on Season 29 of The Amazing Race, where they came in fifth place, friends Droz and Pierce may have the most recent competition show experience.

• Art Velez and John James "JJ" Carrell

From The Amazing Race 20, border patrol agents and friends Velez and Carrell — who came just short of winning in their first go-around on the show — may have a few prior competitors to avenge in the upcoming season.

FORMER SURVIVOR CONTESTANTS

• Chris Hammons and Bret Labelle

These friends first met on Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X in 2016, where Chris finished in 11th place and Bret in fifth. This will be their first time competing on The Amazing Race.

• Corinne Kaplan and Eliza Orlins

These Survivor alumni have each done two seasons of island tribal competition between them, but have never appeared on The Amazing Race.

• Rupert and Laura Boneham

Four-time Survivor competitor — and onetime Indiana gubernatorial candidate — Rupert actually went up against his wife Laura in the Blood vs. Water season of that show. This time, the couple will get to work together for a chance, taking on The Amazing Race for the first time.

COMPETITORS FROM BIG BROTHER

• Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo

The recently engaged Franzel and Arroyo met while locked down together in the Big Brother house. Franzel has competed in two seasons of the summer reality series, and won Big Brother 18, where Victor came in fifth. Neither has appeared on The Amazing Race.

• Janelle Pierzina and Britney Haynes

With five seasons of Big Brother backstabbing between them, friends Pierzina and Haynes know a thing or two about making an impression on reality TV. Pierzina's best finish during her three times on BB was third place, while Haynes' top result on the CBS fan fave was a fourth-place result.

• Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater

This one is a mix of CBS reality competition royalty. Reilly, is not only one of the most infamous competitors on Big Brother, which she won on her second attempt, but she and now-husband (and former BB roommate) Brendan twice competed in The Amazing Race, finishing in third place both times. Now she's racing for a third time, but with her sister Slater, who put in her time in the Big Brother, where she tried — but failed — to hide her connection to her famous sibling.
