And they're off!

"I'll definitely tune in to watch Rob and Amber, because Rob is a blast to be around," he said. "The guy is endlessly entertaining. . . . He's just fun to be around."

And he doesn't care that the other teams will be out to get him and Amber.

"Rob is not worried about how it will look or how it seems," Probst said. "Is it weird to ask Amber to marry me on the live show? Is it weird that I've already done two 'Survivors' and now I'm doing 'Amazing Race'? He doesn't care. It's his life.

"I aspire to be more like that, to tell you the truth. Because I've thought about doing 'The Amazing Race' and then thought — oh, boy, that would be really weird because people would then say, 'Why is he on a show? He just hosted one.' I'd like to be able to just say, 'Because I want to do it!' "

Maybe they'll do a celebrity edition of "Amazing Race" someday. . . .
