With the season 13 debut of CBS' The Amazing Race looming just around the
corner (okay, Sept. 28), exec producer Bertram Van Munster slipped us a few
clues about the upcoming globetrot.

. The race takes 23 days, covers nearly 40,000 miles, spans five continents,
and features some far-flung locales never before seen on the show, including
Angkor Wat, Cambodia and La Paz, Bolivia.

. The youngest team is a tandem of two guys in their early 20s. "They're
made for television," Van Munster says. "They're supersmart - and they make
terrible mistakes." A pair of recent divorcees in their late 20s also vie
for the million-dollar prize. "They were left with some financial debt, so
they really have a motive to run around the world," he says. And once again,
expect a serving of granola - this time with a husband-wife squad of
60-something Oregon hippies. "They're the real thing," says Van Munster.
"They come right out of the '60s. To a lot of people, it looks almost like
they're from a different planet."

. As for the challenges, "We've really outdone ourselves in the department
of outrageousness," Van Munster declares. "We have a situation in Bolivia
where we have the [contestants] go down a cobblestone hill on very, very
primitive bikes, and it's just the most hilarious thing you've ever seen in
your life. It's a truly bone-jarring experience." (Another must-see detour:
A by-train-or-by-bus scavenger hunt in Moscow. )

. One familiar thing actually did happen on this race: The producers didn't
predict the winner. Says Van Munster, "We've been wrong every time, across
the board."
