More than a month after reports that it was about to begin production first began emerging, CBS has confirmed that The Amazing Race's next edition will be an All-Stars edition featuring teams that previously competed on earlier seasons of the long-running reality show.
CBS might not yet be willing to confirm last week's report that The Amazing Race's next edition will be an All-Stars edition, but there's one group of Race-affiliated folks who apparently don't have a problem announcing that the show will allegedly begin production soon -- disgruntled former The Amazing Race winners that weren't approached about participating in the competition.
Although this summer's Big Brother 7: All-Stars failed to deliver a ratings spark similar to 2004's Survivor: All-Stars, CBS has reportedly decided that The Amazing Race 11, set to begin filming next month, will be a long-rumored All-Stars edition featuring teams that previously competed on earlier seasons of the long-running reality show.
Bravo has announced the identities of most of the thirty-two former reality television participants -- billed as representing sixteen different reality shows -- who will compete in its upcoming Battle of the Network Reality Stars.
CBS might have decided to delay The Amazing Race 6's premiere until later this fall, but apparently the last-minute cancellation came too late to prevent the publication of a TV Guide article introducing its contestants.
