Joe and Heidi Wang from the Amazing Race

Joe and Heidi Wang

I just got the newsflash from 8 Asians: Joe and Heidi Wang will be running the Amazing Race, beginning this Sunday on CBS.  Like the winners Tammy and Victor Jih from last season, the team has an Asian American male and an Asian American female, but unlike last season, they’re not brother and sister.  Woohoo for diversity!  They’re also parents of two children, so  cheers for the Rice Daddy.

I don’t know how long this will be up, but you can see a video of them here.  They’ve got an awesome bio too; check out the link under their name above.  Mixing it up with them this season will be Jordan and Jeff from Big Brother (which I only saw a part of–the part where the blasian brother got axed) and the infamous Miss Carolina 2007 who stumbled on public TV when someone asked a hard question.
