"The Amazing Race" Season 21 cast includes reality stars, exotic dancers, monster truckers, a lumberjack and so much more.

The new season, which kicks off Sunday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, will feature a new twist: a $2 million prize. If the team that wins the first leg of the season outraces the other 10 teams and wins the final leg of "The Amazing Race," that team will get $2 million instead of the $1 million grand prize.

Contestants for this season include Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge from "The Fabulous Beekman Boys," Chippendale dancers Jaymes Vaughan and James Davis, Megadeth band member James LoMenzo and more. Meet the rest of the cast in the slideshow below.
