Austinite competing on new season of ‘Amazing Race’
Austin’s ever-growing population of reality show stars will grow yet again when CBS’s “The Amazing Race” returns for a new season on Sept. 28.
Christy Cook (that’s her on the right), described in the CBS announcement as a 26-year-old business developer from Austin, will join her best friend Kelly Crabb, (on the left) a pharmaceutical representative from Houston, in the adventure contest. Both young women also are described as “divorcees.”
Among the 11 teams scheduled to compete on “Amazing Race” are an ex-NFL player (Ken Greene) and his estranged wife (Tina), a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and her actor brother (Starr and Nick Spangler), married sixtysomething beekeepers who call themselves hippies and several best-pals and a few romantic couples.
Starting at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the teams will travel more than 30,000 miles in 23 days to countries such as Brazil, Bolivia, Russia, India and Kazakhstan. As usual, $1 million is the prize.

Her friend is a Pharma Rep... I don't see too many reality programs, unless forced to... but it seems this profession is overly represented in reality programs. I wonder why that is?
