"The Amazing Race 14" field includes two all-male, three all-female and five opposite sex teams. As noted much too much, no all-female team has won the race through the 13 airings to date.

The oldest racer, Mel White of the Mel & Mike father/son team clocks in at 68 years, multiple racers come in at the youngest age of 23. The median age of 36 years also tends slightly older than the usual, something for which this 39-year old blogger is thankful.
Only four romantic couple teams are in the TAR14 cast, a lower number than the norm. Two of the romantic teams are married duos. Including those spousal pairs, seven teams of relatives are on "The Amazing Race 14." One team of openly gay contestants, a father/son teamup, is in the field. One deaf contestant, Luke Adams of the Margie/Luke mother/son team, is in the race in a first for the series.

As per usual, California leads the 50 states in active Racers for the new edition though with much less domination of the field than the last few cycles. Six out of the 22 racers hail from the Golden state. Surprisingly, the Virginia takes the second spot with three racers though none based anywhere near my own home state of Maryland.
CBS press release info on the various eleven teams has been up for weeks on TARbloob. I'll post my own pre-race thoughts on each of the teams in the final few days preceding the start of the TAR14 airing.
