"Big Brother" duo emerge as "Amazing Race" villains
(CBS) NEW YORK - Season 20 of "The Amazing Race" doesn't get under way until Sunday night but already Brandon Villegas and Rachel Reilly, the couple from "Big Brother," are the villains of the show.
In an interview with TV Guide writer Joyce Eng, host Phil Keoghan said both fans and other teams are upset by the casting of the divisive "Big Brother" team.
"There are Racers right at the beginning who make it clear they don't like it," he said, " I don't really know why they think it's not fair."
The 11 teams on the hit CBS reality show include married clowns, a pair of border control guards and some attractive federal agents.
Also, for the first time this season, teams will visit Azerbaijan, on the Caspian Sea. Keoghan called it "a world unlike we've ever seen on the show."
