On the heels of the announcement of the Survivor contestants, CBS has released this information:

CBS News' THE EARLY SHOW will announce the cast

for AMAZING RACE: ALL-STARS on Tuesday, Jan. 16 (7:00-9:00 AM, ET/PT).

The 11th edition of the Emmy Award-winning series debuts on Sunday,

Feb. 18 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

So we will get to meet the All-Star cast this Tuesday.

And the new season will premiere on Sunday, February 18th.

Woohoo!! I am very excited!

I LOVED Mirna and Charla last time and am so glad they're back. I never liked Rob and Amber on AR or Survivor.

Can somebody tell me WHY it started LATE? I didn't program my DVR to extend for a period of time, since I THOUGHT football season was over

I never expect it to start on time and I tape the whole prime time lineup on Sundays so I just have my VCR set from when TAR is supposed to start til almost midnight...since, ostensibly, Trace ends at 11, but not frequently. I never did get to see what happened on Trace the episode after Danny & Elena kissed because the game went on so long but supposedly it was on somewhere sometime.

Can you believe TAR started late due to another overrun (even with the NFL over!) It was a golf overrun.

Who was ousted tonight? I was watching the Oscars.

Kevin & Drew

Man last night's episode had me stressed OUT! What a good episode - it made you think ANYONE could have been eliminated and it kept switching throughout the entire episode.

I was happy to see Kandice/Dustin make it...I was on their side when it came to following Mirna/Charla. That was completely acceptable of them.

Glad Kentucky is still there - I just like them for some reason.

I'm happy that Kevin/Drew left - that Kevin is unbearable and completely ridiculous.

Was NOT happy to see Rob/Amber get first again - and get something else for free from CBS...make me PUKE.

That episode was very good. Must better then the 1st.

I'm so sick and tired of Romber. I so want them eliminated and fast. Charla & Mirna were crazy lastnight but I love it. I'm not a fan of the BQ's and I find it funny they were mad at Charla & Mirna not wanting them to follow. Dustin & Kandice would of done the same thing if Charla & Mirna were following them.

Not that sad too see Kevin & Drew get eliminated. It's sad how bad they got because they were a fun team on Season 1.

It looks like I am the only one, but I love Rob & Amber! They are my favorites!

Dustin & Kandice I like so far, I didn't see them originally on their season, so I am still forming an opinion about them.

David & Mary, and Charla & Mirna are tied for my least favorite teams...they both really annoy me.

Romber was fun to watch on All-Stars the first round, but they have got so shoved down our throats it's sickening! What I didn't get is when everyone was looking at the picture why Joyce didn't follow suit!!!

Anyway...I caught this last few minutes what did the cousins do to tick off Kentucky??

I am so glad the guys left last night. I never liked them before, and am glad they are out of it.

My fave teams right now are Danny & Oswald, Uchenna & Joyce (even though she was so dumb last night), the CoalMiners, and the Beauty Queens (they are catching on with me).

I don't like Teri & Ian, Eric & Danielle, Charla & Mirna.

I absolutely HATE Romber and Team Guido.

Anyway...I caught this last few minutes what did the cousins do to tick off Kentucky??

Charla & Mirna passed Dave & Mary. It was kinda stupid. I love Mary but she needs to realize this isn't the time to make friends.

Last night's episode was amazing... one of the most exciting ever!

I love almost everyone... even Amber who actually !@#$%^&*]ed out Rob, kind of

Charla & Mirna were hilarious, Mary is ready to get bi*#(y... and we got the first "EYE-AN!" from Teri!!

Wee... this is going to be an awesome season.

Mirna and Charla are always hilarious. I am thrilled they are included in this all-stars edition and I love them. Rob and Amber however, I have never liked.

I'm rooting for Oswald and Danny the most. They are mainly what got me interested in TAR when I first came upon it in Season 2. They seem to have gotten a little more subdued, though. Or maybe it's just because there hasn't been as much coverage of them so far in this race as there have been with some other teams. Love them, though. LOL when Danny said he must have been a man in a previous life.

Couldn't stand Mary last season and can't stand her now. It's a race. Being nice and forging alliances are one thing but she has got to stop expecting more out of it than what it is. Nobody is going to hand you the million bucks. And I think on the scale of giving help vs. needing it, they've taken more than they've given. Seriously, I wish David was running the race with another partner.

The BQ's were dead on about Charla & Mirna. They turn everything into a stressed-out drama.

Cha Cha Cha is my favorite team of all-time and I'm absolutely rooting for them! HATE Romber and Eric/Danielle and Teri/Ian are so strange, but lovable.

I hope they release DVDs of seasons 2 & 3, those were my all-time favorites!
