Leg 1 (Based off Leg 2 of The Amazing Race 18)
Phil Keoghan: "I'm standing in at the . For the past 9 seasons, The Amazing Race has tested the boundaries of some of TSM’s best players. From pairing them with their enemies to forcing them to race with complete strangers. And now for our tenth season, we’re bringing back not 11, but 12 of the best and most popular teams to ever run this race. Some are friends, some are bitter enemies, and some are going for a shot at redemption. It is bound to be the biggest season the race has ever seen. The 12 teams are...
Micky & Abe, original winners from Season 1 and Season 5.
Micky: "We are the OG's... the official winners."
Abe: "Last season, I became a two time winner. This time, I'm back with Ghost Town to refill our legacy."
Micky: "We are the best team ever, and we can definitely win again!"
Veronica & Blue, underdogs from Seasons 3 and 6.
Veronica: "We are hot messes. Sometimes we look like pewes, but we are a strong team."
Blue: "We did what we needed to do and almost won twice."
Veronica: "This season. we're completing our destiny."
White & War, best friends from Season 9.
White: "Last time on the race we almost won. We made a big mistake at the f4, which cost us."
War: "This season, me and my dad are going to crush the competition and we're winning. Those other teams are dead to us."
White: "And after I win, I’m eating lots of steaks."
Mega & Cloud, fan favorite winners from Seasons 4, 5, and 8.
Cloud: "We are racing for the fourth time together. We won Season 4 when no one thought we would."
Mega: "We're positive, we have our eyes on the prize."
Cloud: "After I became one of only two people to win the race twice last season, I'm ready for a third win! My confidence is at an all time high!"
Clara & Nemo, rivals from Season 7.
Nemo: "We were a mess. Clara thought it was a strategic idea to fight with every team."
Clara: "I am who I am and if you can’t handle the tea, get out of the kitchen. I’m going to calm down a little maybe."
Nemo: "We're going for the win and we're going to crush it!"
Soccer & Sonic, AKA Team Tik Tok from Season 9.
Soccer: "Last time I went on the race to grow my Tik Tok fan base."
Sonic: "This time he will finish the challenge instead of doing a dance move for Tik Tok."
Soccer: "I’ll attempt to keep my eyes on the prize."
Sonic: "YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE!"
Abi & Katie, fusion team from Seasons 6 and 8.
Katie: "The first time we ran the race, we were always in the back, but then we came back and showed that we came to play."
Abi: "We got so close last time and got screwed by a twist so this time, we're gonna show the haters that we can keep up and actually win the race!"
Katie: "We're the team to watch out for, just wait!"
Alex & Wilted, dominant winners from Season 7.
Alex: "We dominated with 6 leg wins, and we were strong."
Wilted: "Some hated us but I don’t care."
Alex: "We worked well together despite being rivals and I think we can win again."
Peanut & Amy, Race icons from Seasons 1 and 8.
Amy: "We did well twice, but we can do better and I want to win again."
Peanut: "I'm still looking for my first win. Amy needs to stop tripping and then we would do well."
Amy: "Yep, that's the plan!"
Poet & Chic, surprise favorites from Seasons 2 and 8.
Poet: "We got super close to winning last time and just fell short."
Chic: "Being known among the best ever feels good and we want that title."
Poet: "The win is going to be ours this time!"
Halcy & Pie, dominant team from Season 3.
Pie: "We got screwed over by the f4 twist."
Halcy: "We had a lead but lost it with a slow taxi, and then struggled at the task and got eliminated."
Pie: "We haven't raced together at all since season 3, but we raced practically flawlessly and this time we're gonna make improvements and do even better."
Jenn & Etoille, dominant female winners from Season 6.
Jenn: "We won the race, and dominated."
Etoille: "We were against returning teams and we made them look like absolute fools."
Jenn: "The goal this time is to have fun and, you know, win again!"
