The Amazing Race is set to return on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, with a brand new and adventurous season. Competing for $1 million are 12 pairs who have their eyes on the prize. One of the teams set to participate is former NFL coach Rex Ryan and probation officer Tim Mann, also Rex’s golf buddy.
The two had initially connected over the Buffalo Bills. In a promo, Ryan said that Tim was a huge fan and that he had “failed miserably” to coach the same team.
The show will continue to feature some of the changes it had adopted in the previous season due to Covid-19 restrictions. To ensure the crew and cast members’ safety, everyone will still be traveling by charter jet but will largely stick to European routes and will cover destinations such as Austria, France, Italy, Spain, and for the first time, Jordan.
Golf buddies Rex Ryan and Tim Mann to compete in the latest season of The Amazing Race
The Amazing Race host described Rex as “larger than life” and Tim as a “powerlifter.” In a conversation with Parade about the upcoming season’s cast, he said:
"The two of them bring presence. I expect to see them want to stamp their authority on the competition right out of the gate. They let us know that right away."
Former NFL head coach, Rex, is one of the league’s most known names who began his career as a college football coach. They both initially connected over the Buffalo Bills and grew closer while Tim’s mother battled ALS. Rex said that Tim is “like a brother.”
Team T-Rex, as they like to be called, have been friends for six or seven years. In their introductory video for The Amazing Race, Ryan said:
"I think a lot of people will just love us because we are kinda the underdogs here."
The two introduced themselves and spoke about how they became friends. As for their strategy, Ryan said:
"I know a little bit about team building. If you want to be really good, you lean on yourself but if you wanna be great, you lean on yourself and others."
Tim Mann said that networking and team building could be their advantage in the latest leg of The Amazing Race. He briefly implied that heights are not his strong suit and said that Rex wants to do heights. To this, Rex said:
"I wanna do ‘em because you don't wanna do ‘em."
Other pairs competing against them in the upcoming season include twin sisters Emily and Molly, Latin dancers Aubrey and David, retired cheerleaders Quinton and Mattie, married couple Luis and Michelle, and military brothers Marcus and Michael.
Viewers will also get to see father-daughter duo Linton and Sharik, to be married Aastha and Nina, motivational speakers Rich and Dom, high school sweethearts Will and Abby, newlyweds Glenda and Lumumba, and Big Brother couple Derek and Claire competing for the ultimate prize.
The Amazing Race Season 34 will premiere on Wednesday, September 21 at 10 pm ET on CBS with Phil Keoghan as host.
