Unlike in the previous seasons, three teams will be given the privilege to take the first flight if they arrive at the Los Angeles airport first by using a public transportation.

CBS has shared the first look into the new season of "The Amazing Race". Host Phil Keoghan addressed the 11 teams that will travel the world starting from Los Angeles, U.S. In the first task, they will be sent to Santiago, Chile but they must take a public transportation to the airport, something which Carol and Brandy thought to be difficult.

Premiering on Sunday, February 14, the 16th season includes former "Big Brother" cast Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder, 2007 Miss South Carolina Teen USA Caite Upton, and Cleveland Indians third-base coach Steve Smith. Jody Kelly, at the age of 71, is the oldest contestant in the show's history. She is competing with her granddaughter Shannon.

According to preliminary reports, the teams will visit France, England, Argentina and Singapore among others. Visiting a total of 5 continents and 9 countries, the distance traveled is around 40,000 miles.

The story of Katherine and Damon as well as Stefan and Elena continues in 'A Few Good Men' while the undead will haunt a town in 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid'.

In the next "The Vampire Diaries", the passion, the romance, the mystery, the heat, the love and the danger return on March 25. The vampire series will take a five-week break in order to give the Winter Olympic its primetime slot and come back with the episode "A Few Good Men".

Meanwhile, Exec Producer Julie Plec offers to give some spoilers while the show is in hiatus. "MAJOR SPOILERS about to happen. Go twitter free if you don't want to know," she wrote on Thursday, February 11 night on her Twitter account.

Also disappearing from the screen for five long weeks is "Vampire" companion on Thursday, "Supernatural". When it returns, the Winchester brothers will fight flesh-eating zombies who want to turn the whole town into chew toys. One highlight seen in the preview is the appearance of Bobby's dead wife.

In season 3 episode "Dream a Little Dream of Me", it was revealed that Bobby got into hunting after witnessing the possession of his wife and killing her. He bears immense guilt for what he did to her, and has taken some sort of unwritten vow to become involved with the supernatural to prevent what happened to him from ever happening to anyone else.

Take a look at how the celebrities attempt to humor each other by either improvising or making fun of their real situation.

How intense "The Celebrity Apprentice" season 3 will be and how hilarious it is at the same time are shown in two new clips released by NBC. The promos mostly highlight on the performances of Cyndi Lauper, Sharon Osbourne and Rod Blagojevich.

The first two are in the same team called Tenacity while the politician is in team Rock Solid.

Coming March 14, the show will put battle of the sexes, splitting the men and women into two teams. In an appearance on Howard Stern's show last year, Sharon said that they would be selling burgers down in New York and Cyndi claimed she was the project manager.

From the look of the preview, this season will be less intense with the jokes even from Mr. Donald Trump himself. He told Cyndi, "You're a big believer in hair like I am right?" and she replied "yes" with a laugh. Later on she 'improvised' on the boardroom that a friend of her thinks Mr. Trump is sexy. The boss' son Donald Trump Jr. then asked, "How old is Edith" only to be shushed by his father.

The other celebrities who will play for charity are Brett Michaels, Darryl Strawberry, Holly Robinson Peete, Bill Goldberg, Maria Kanellis, Sinbad, Curtis Stone, Carol Leifer, Summer Sanders, Michael Johnson, and Selita Ebanks. "This season of Celebrity Apprentice is going to be fantastic. The list of celebrities we have this season is outstanding and the show will really resonate with our core viewers and fans," said Trump. "I expect this season of Celebrity Apprentice to be the best one yet."

The medical drama will explore the main characters' pivotal pasts in a flashback-heavy episode.

"Grey's Anatomy" will take a different route next week with a series of flashbacks to the time when the doctors of Seattle Grace decided to be life savers. In his new role as Chief, Derek restores the hospital lecture series, and Richard, Bailey and Callie present to the group pivotal surgical cases from their pasts.

Bailey reflects on her first days as a shy resident, Callie looks back on a polio case, and Richard recalls a case in which he and Ellis worked on a patient diagnosed with GRID, a virus later called AIDS. "The Time Warp" will air on Thursday, February 18.

J. August Richards and Sarah Paulson have been tapped to be the younger versions of Richard and Ellis respectively. The 1982 throwback will reveal how the previous Chief and Meredith's mom were involved in an affair.

Meanwhile in Bailey's part, she will be seen in early 2000s when she was still Mandy and under supervision of a character played by Missi Pyle. "We're going to see Bailey when she still called herself Mandy and had not yet learned to speak up," said creator Shonda Rhimes. "Mandy is Bailey's inner geek, and Chandra [Wilson] plays the Mandy of it all brilliantly."
