The poster reportedly spotted one of the famous pairs for "The Amazing Race" season 30, which is composed of former "Big Brother" season 19 housemates named Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson. The poster claimed that the pair arrived at the Reykjavik's old city center at 12:26 p.m. local time, and they had to find the location of a female athlete named Katherine who will provide them with two questions that they have to answer before they proceed to their next challenge.

"Team Jody asked the crowd and then went into a local store to inquire. They got the answers correct on the 2nd try. They then had to drink shots before getting their next clue. They left and headed for the pit stop at 12:33 local time. I do not believe there were any teams before them as I was watching lengthy dress rehearsals prior," the forum post also said.

Aside from the former "Big Brother" season 19 cast members, other notable contestants were reportedly included in the roster for "The Amazing Race" season 30. It includes Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi and another race car driver named Conor Daly, former "American Ninja Warrior" contestants April Gould and Sarah Williams, competitive eaters Tim Janus and Joey Chestnut, as well as former NBA players Shawn Marion and Cedric Ceballos.

CBS is expected to announce the schedule of the premiere episode of "The Amazing Race" season 30 in the coming days.
