Topic: TAR All-Stars 2 Wish List

It is getting suspicious because of no auditions for Season 18, was this kinda how things went after TAR10 for 11 casting process?

[Paron]

I really don't think anyone ousted before F6 should be considered an "All-Star," so I'd cut Zev & Justin and Jordan & Jeff out of any possibility.

No.  TAR11 actually did have auditions.  But all chosen teams were dropped when they decided to do an All-Star season.

I really don't think anyone ousted before F6 should be considered an "All-Star," so I'd cut Zev & Justin and Jordan & Jeff out of any possibility.

Exactly, here's my 12 teams for a Post-ARAS (After Season 11):
- Kynt and Vyxsin
- Ronald and Christina
- Nathan and Jennifer (are they still together)
- Nick and Starr (if Nathan and Jennifer aren't together only)
- Ken and Tina
- Toni and Dallas
- Jamie and Cara
- Margie and Luke
- Kisha and Jen
- Meghan and Cheyne
- Flight Time and Big Easy
- Jet and Cord
- Carol and Brandy

OK, scratch my original thought haha!

[apskip]

I would rather see a race of the fourth outs...or maybe the robbed teams like Brad/Vic, Zev/Justin, and a few unlucky first outs.

But I stand by loving NEW teams of ordinary people...not recruited, just wonderful applicants. There are thousands of them, we know it is possible. Look at the joy of season one.

I really wouldn't call Brad & Victoria or Zev and Justin robbed as their own errors caused their eliminations.

But one of the pluses for a Season of Early outs is that in many cases we never really got to see a lot of these teams.  The problem with this is (besides of course events outside your own control) it's really difficult to judge how well teams that went out early actually race.  As most of the racers who had completed or nearly completed the race will attest that the further along you get the harder the race is as you are suffering from fatigue, hunger, more stress, etc.

I believe there will be another all stars to feed the hunger of all diehard fans? Survivor couldn't resist and did many allstars or half or part allstars season. I know the prouducers of TAR said Allstars was a bad idea.. but i think if they are to do it again, there will be much more careful planning and selection of teams.

And oh i forgot all about Kynt and Vyxsin.. definitely a memorable team. And it would be good to get some of the family edition teams to race as a team of two. Mama Paolo and Papa Paolo will be fun to watch, i believe.. except that they probably will have no chance of winning if they are up against the all-stars.

Hence my stand is that the teams chosen have to be BOTH MEMORABLE and COMPETITIVE. Very competitive in fact. The reason why the first allstar wasn't even that exciting because some of the teams chosen were not even competitive at all. (Teri and Ian, Charla and Mirna wants to be.. but they're not, Danielle, Mary and David, Kevin and Drew..)

And up till now only a few teams fit the criteria and i agree with mswood, you need to have token alpha male teams in the race, but only TWO.

"The reason why the first allstar wasn't even that exciting because some of the teams chosen were not even competitive at all. " - Joab, you have hit it out of the park here. I remember Phil Keoghan talking about the All-Stars teams before the broadcast season for AR11, and maybe even before the actual race was run, that they were chosen as a sort of popularity contest. He did not say it, but it was obvious that alpha males past winners had been excluded. Popular teams like John Vito and Jill(out 1st), Kevin and Drew (out 2nd) and David and Mary (out 3rd) took precedence over high performing teams. So why would anyone believe that it would be different for an All-Stars 2 Amazing Race?

  Let me get under here now.

If it's personalities they want, and maybe ratings, too, the best team to cast might be Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz.  Totally a gimmick and certainly not "ordinary people doing extraordinary things", but think of the intra-team dynamic.

I'm not advocating this, just sayin'.

(I know there is a rumor that we'll see these two on Survivor 22. Early boots, I would imagine hope.)

[Caelestor]

If they have another season with returning racers, don't even try to call it All-Stars. If we ignore all the winners and everybody that participated in TAR 11, you'd be unable to get a cast of 11 truly exciting AND competitive teams. At least the last Survivor Season was just HvV (but even then, I don't think they got the distributions correct).

Oh wow. [This upcoming season is only my second season here (including lurking) for TAR spoilers (and even then, I only wanted to see the cast pictures for TAR16 when they were first posted), so this is the first I've heard of that.] What ever happened to those teams that were originally selected for TAR11? Did they just become the TAR12 cast? Or did the producers just scrap them all and never bring them back for their real shot at racing?

I don't know.  I think some did.  Half of two other teams were directed over to Survivor to be on its Fiji season.  (Earl Cole and Michelle Yi were the two who were.)

Oh, come on Uycocoa, you should already know that that question never gets answered here.

[Goldeneye]

This is my wishlist for TAR AS2 - and it will include primarily TAR 4, 6, 8 and 12-16, deliberately excluding any winners or anyone who appeared in TAR11 and is designed to include certain teams who are popular/fairly strong/noteworthy/unlucky a second chance.

Ronald & Christina (TAR12)
Kynt & Vyxsin (TAR12)
Jon & Al (TAR4)
Kris & Jon (TAR6)
Mark & Bill (TAR13)
Mel & Mike (TAR14)
Toni & Dallas (TAR13)
Bill & Tammy of the Gaghan family (TAR8/FE)
Gary & Matt (TAR15)
Jet & Cord (TAR16)
Steve & Allie (TAR16)
12th team is one of the alternates or a TAR17 team

An earlier list I created somewhere else had five other teams, but since TAR15 and TAR16, I removed those and moved them to alternates and those are in bold.

Possible alternates...
Dennis & Andrew (TAR3), Colin & Christie (TAR5), Gus & Hera (TAR6), Lena & Kristy (TAR6), Don & Mary Jean (TAR6), Lake & Michelle (TAR9), Erwin & Godwin (TAR10), Bilal & Saeed (TAR10), Vipul & Arti (TAR10), Joseph & Monica (TAR9), Nicolas & Donald (TAR12), Margie & Luke (TAR14), Kisha & Jen (TAR14), Brad & Victoria (TAR14), Jodi & Christie (TAR14), Zev & Justin (TAR15), Flight Time & Big Easy (TAR15), Eric & Lisa (TAR15), Jody & Shannon (TAR16), Monique & Shawne (TAR16)

If I removed (or bent) the rule about no previous winners - I may be okay with adding Starr & Dallas (TAR13) as a hybrid team presuming they are still together in place of Toni & Dallas (TAR13).

[docol]

1. Dustin & Kandice
2. Nathan & Jennifer
3. Kynt & Vyxsin
4. Toni & Dallas
5. Terrence & Sarah
6. Jamie & Cara
7. Kisha & Jenn
8. Flight Time & Big Easy
9. Jet & Cord
10. Some Team From Season 17 
11. Some Team From Season 17

These list is baed in teams who have the drive, passion and the disare to WIN the race.....These are the most MEMORABLE teams from the past 6 season who i PERSONALLY believe, will show everything they've got to take home the 1 milllion dollars..!!

Leg 3 - Barcelona, Spain to Nairobi, Kenya

Leg 4 - Nairobi, Kenya

Leg 5 - Nairobi, Kenya to Harare, Zimbabwe

[Jobby]

A few memorable teams that must definitely have another go since TAR Allstars, whether or not they're well-like or not.. but the presence of these teams will make TAR 18 one hell of a race -

Those in red are those whom i think has a huge chance of being invited back to race..

TAR 12 -
Ronald and Christina
Kynt and Vyxsin

TAR 13 -
Ken and Tina
Terence and Sarah

TAR 14 -
Margie and Luke
Tammy and Victor
Cara and Jaime
Kisha and Jen

TAR 15 -
Brian and Ericka

TAR 16 -
Carol and Brandy
Jet and Cord

TAR 17 -
Nat and Kat (based on popularity so far)
Brooke and Claire (based on popularity so far)

And so if they're including a few of the teams before Allstars, here's who i'll like to see make it -
1. Flo and Zach
2. Colin and Christie
3. Linda and Karen
4. Kris and Jon
5. Two of the Gaghans

And there's really no one else that are really memorable from the previous seasons that didn't make it on Allstars. Come to think of it, the producers did a really good job in casting for Allstars actually...

Just that it didn't turn out well...

[Kiwi Jay]

I really want to see some Pre-ARAS 1, teams on this race...

[Mister RC]

How far along is Claire in terms of her pregnancy?

[DrRox]

about 6 months

[maf]

about 6 months

Now that would be a challenge. To race in that condition:-)

[Jobby]

Hmmm, i guess Brooke and Claire are out of the running.
