Ethan Zohn, a "Survivor" winner whose knows the true meaning of "survivor," will compete on the 10th-anniversary season of "The Amazing Race." Zohn, 37, winner of "Survivor: Africa," is in remission from Hodgkin's lymphoma after a stem-cell transplant. He'll compete with his longtime girlfriend, Jenna Morasca, 30, winner of "Survivor: Amazon."
The 11 teams competing in the 19th edition of the round-the-world race, which premieres at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25, also include former NFL tight end Marcus Pollard and a teen who sailed around the world solo. Again, no St. Louis-area team made the cut; maybe someday.
A new penalty called the Hazard "will impact one team's future on the Race right from the starting line," CBS says. The journey starts in Southern California and heads for Taipei, Taiwan. First-time destinations include Indonesia, Malawi, Belgium and Denmark.
Here are the teams in addition to Zohn and Morasca:

Andy Finch, 30, and Tommy Czeschin, 32, professional snowboarders and former Olympians from California. Amani Pollard, 36, and her husband, Marcus Pollard, 39, a retired NFL player (Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions) now coaching high school football in Pine Mountain, Ga. Kaylani Paliotta, 33, and Lisa Tilley, 32, cocktail waitresses and former showgirls from Las Vegas.
