With The Amazing 6 barely in the books, CBS has already unveiled the new teams for The Amazing Race 7. Here is the rundown (pics courtesy of the CBS TAR7 Home Page)
Brian & Greg - 27/24 - Actor-Bartender/Bouncer - "Brothers" - Santa Monica, CA
Lynn & Alex - 30/22 - Executive Assistants - "Boyfriends" - West Hollywood, CA
Debbie & Bianca - 25/26 - Photographer/High School Teacher - "Life Long Friends" Woodbridge, VA
Megan & Heidi - 26/31 - Fashion Designer/Mom - "Roommates" - Oak Park, CA
Meredith & Gretchen - 69/66 - Retired Executive/Retired Flight Attendant & RN - "Grandparents" - Easton, MD - All-time oldest team on TAR.
Ray & Deana - 44/27 - Stockbroker/Marketing - "Dating On & Off" - Youngstown, OH
Rob & Amber - 29/26 - Professional Reality Stars - "Engaged" - Canton, MA & Beaver, PA
Ron & Kelly - 28/26 - Former Iraq War POW/Legislative Correspondent - "Dating" - Villa Rica, GA & Greenville, NC - Kelly is also a former Miss SC beauty pageant queen
Ryan & Chuck - 31/32 - General Contractor/Sales - "Best Friends" - Landrum & Inman, SC
Susan & Patrick - 54/26 - Director of Judicial Affairs/Writer - "Mother/Son" - Hamilton, OH - First ever mother/son team, Patrick is a "gay writer in Hollywood who seeks her acceptance."
Even more good news, especially for us long-time TAR fanatics who always worried about the show's future, The Amazing Race 8 is already in the works... with a twist. It will consist of fewer, but larger 4-member teams of relatives. The teams will not necessarily be just a set of parents and two kids...but could be a mix of siblings, generations, or future in-laws (kids must be 12 or older). This edition will film over the summer and air in the fall. In my opinion, this is a great way to shake-up the franchise.
The Amazing Race 9 also appears to be greenlighted and scheduled to air early 2006.

I don't think it's a good idea to involve kids in these shows. Maybe from 16 upwards, but 12? Seems a bit too young for me.
