Wonder why they decided on 12 teams??? At least there will be one less non-elimination leg. And did anyone notice there's no sneior citizen team this season??? It's a shame as I always like to root for them.

MY EARLY PREDICTION
1. Peter & Sarah
2. Vipul & Arti
3. Tyler & James
4. Tom & Terry
5. Rob & Kim
6. Kellie & Jamie
7. Bilal & Sa'eed
8. David & Mary
9. Duke & Lauren
10. Dustin & Kandice
11. Erwin & Godwin
12. Lyn & Karlyn

I agree, I love the older couples!

I am loving Vipul & Arti. Multiple languages and extensive travel sound good to me! Can't wait for this to start.

The countries sound great this season! I am especially looking forward to Mongolia. It doesnt seem to have much tourism, so the language barrier will be a huge problem even for those with language skills!
