'Amazing Race' Gets Back to Basics

Although not one of the participants describes him- or herself as a model, actor or personal trainer, fans of "The Amazing Race" should feel comfortable that the show is getting back to its roots after last fall's family edition.
CBS on Monday (Jan. 30) unveiled the identities of the 11 teams competing in the ninth edition of the show, which premieres Tuesday, Feb. 28. CBS promises a much more globe-trotting competition this time -- which won't be tough considering the family race never left North America.

The teams will hit five continents this time around, with host Phil Keoghan meeting them in Moscow and the Middle East, among other exotic locales. As always, they'll be racing to claim a $1 million prize.

2. Family edition was alright

There was just too many people in it and the fact that they never left North America hurt.
