The Amazing Race, Emmy-winner many times over, is back after a far too long hiatus this Sunday in its normal Sundays at 8pm time slot on CBS.  As a bonus, if you switch to CBS five minutes early you'll be able to watch the insane ramblings of an old codger, aka Andy Rooney's segment on 60 Minutes.  The Amazing Race 13 will follow eleven teams as they race around the world.  The winner receives a cool million dollars.  Over the last few weeks, we at BuddyTV have ramped up our coverage of The Amazing Race, previewing each and every participating team.  If you need a primer before tuning in on Sunday evening (and, really, why wouldn't you?), we've got it for you.

For a simple overview of the eleven teams, complete with pictures and a description of their relationship, go here:
