If the thread is just for location spoilers, can't the title indicate that?

The race started from L.A. very early this morning!  The cast flew from LAX to Detroit via Delta, and they're now on a layover, waiting to head east, which means either to a European country or a South American one.

As for the the actual cast itself . . . wow.  This looks absolutely dire:

• Chelsie & Jack Baham (Chelsie’s dad) - BB26
• Tucker & Eric DesLauriers (Tucker’s brother) - BB26
• Rubina & Kristine Bernabe (Rubina’s sister) - BB26
• Matt & Megan Turner (Turner’s wife) - BB24
• Jag & Jas Bains (Jag’s brother) - BB25
• Angela & Lexi Murray (Angela’s daughter) - BB26
• Taylor & Kyland (????) - BB23 and BB24
• Izzy Gleicher & Paige Seber (Izzy’s fiancé) - BB25
• Natalie & Stephanie Negrotti (Natalie’s sister) - BB18
• Joseph & Adam Abdin (Joseph’s brother) - BB24
• Kathryn Dunn & Alex (Kathryn's boyfriend) - BB21
• Enzo & Unknown Partner - BB12

This confirms the first destination the home of original Big Brother: Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Here is Phil standing on shooting scenes in Hoorn, just north of Amsterdam, as he had arrived on a direct KLM flight from LA before the teams:

Amazing Race 38 just started in Big Brother’s birthplace, with these BB alum

The last part is easy this season because the cast is made up of Big Brother alum paired with someone from their non-Big Brother life—with at least one exception.

Teams were spotted early Sunday in the Delta terminal at LAX, flying from Detroit and on to Amsterdam. But they weren’t yet racing, as the race began midday today in the Netherlands, birthplace of Big Brother. The race has literally just begun.
*  *  *
The Netherlands is a natural for a Big Brother-themed season: the show first aired there in 1999, and the format was created by John de Mol, who founded the production company Endemol.
*  *  *
Last week, someone posted on Reddit that the show would film in Hoorn, Netherlands, on March 16 and 17, but the moderators of the subreddit deleted the post for unknown reasons.

That’s actually where the race began—and made the local news, which included a photo of the crew set up in front of the Westfries Museum, including a blurry Phil Keoghan.
*  *  *
If you were hoping for a wide range of BB seasons to be represented, sorry: 70 percent of TAR 38’s Big Brother alum are from seasons 24, 25, and 26, the last three seasons.

There are just four from earlier seasons—BB12, BB18, BB21, and BB23—and 18, 21, and 23 hardly count as earlier, since BB18 was in 2016. If this season is designed to honor 25 years of Big Brother, they forgot most of the years.

However, there’s an interesting change for The Amazing Race: a majority of the teams are all-female teams, and on the race itself, there are at least three queer women.

Overall, there are five all-female teams, and just four teams of men, and four mixed-sex teams. (The season airing now, TAR 37, has five teams of men, four teams of women, and five mixed-sex teams; TAR 36 only had three teams of women.)

Here are the TAR 38 teams, both presumed/rumored and confirmed; I’ve highlighted the teams listed as confirmed by the Amazing Race Discord as of last night, and obviously this will become clearer as the teams continue to race and encounter people:

1. Big Brother 12 third-pace Enzo Palumbo and an unknown person
2. Big Brother 18 player Natalie Negrotti and her sister
3. Big Brother 21 player Kat Dunn and her boyfriend
4. Big Brother 23 player Hannah Chaddha and her sister
5. Big Brother 24 winner Taylor Hale with BB23 player Kyland Young
6. Big Brother 24 player Matt Turner (aka Turner) and his wife
7. Big Brother 24 player Joseph Abdin and his brother
8. Big Brother 25 winner Jag Bains and his brother
9. Big Brother 25 player Izzy Gleicher and her girlfriend/fiancee
10. Big Brother 26 winner Chelsie Baham and her father
11. Big Brother 26 player Tucker Des Lauriers and his brother
12. Big Brother 26 player Rubina Bernabe and her sister
13. Big Brother 26 player Angela Murray and her mother
