'Amazing Race': UCF's Miss America, husband will compete
Central Florida will have a special reason to follow "The Amazing Race" this season.
As widely rumored, Orlando native Ericka Dunlap will compete. She is a former Miss America who graduated from the University of Central Florida. She will take part with her husband, Brian Kleinschmidt, whom she met at UCF.
They now live in Nashville.
The CBS bio of Dunlap says, "Ericka has lived a very structured, prim and proper life but plans to embrace her true self and expose a vulnerable side of her life beyond Miss America while racing around the world. Her life's goal is to become a country music recording artist."
The CBS bio also says: "Brian is an all-American guy who contends that nice guys do not always have to finish last. He has enjoyed life as a standout athlete, singer, actor, and loyal friend. The opportunity to extensively tour the U.S. with his job as a sports and entertainment marketing manager has further boosted Brian's confidence and travel expertise. Though some may see Brian and Ericka as total opposites, they believe that their differences are actually their greatest strength and will propel them around the world all the way towards the finish line."
"The Amazing Race" starts with a two-hour season premiere at 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27, on WKMG-Channel 6.
Other competitors include two Harlem Globetrotters, married yoga instructors, professional poker players and a man with Asperger's syndrome.
