I think the race will start tomorrow... :hearts: :hearts:
Because the  12 of december there will be the final party of tar 17 ....and isn't possible that Phil ,the crew and other won't be there
Tomorrow is 20 november....about 20 -21 days...the race will finish  just in time for final party..


It is VERY possible.


ALL of you...this is the CONTESTANT thread....so let's please get back on target. :groan:

However,  is very probably to see again Gary and Mallory... :tup:
But also Marge and Luke(for sure) ,Ron and Christina , Toni and Dallas..(a season of parents and their children... :colors)

Kynt and Vyxsin(for sure 100%)
Ken and  Tina
Azaria & Hendekea or Flight Time and Big Easy
Jill and Thomas
Kris and Amanda
Zev and Justin
Jet and Cord
I Think this is the cast for 18 season... :waves: :waves:

At least somebody finally remembered Azaria and Hendekea from TAR 12.

I'm becoming more and more trepidous about this season...Tina of Ken and Tina last posted on Facebook, on Thursday, can they still be racing? Jet and Cord obviously aren't going to make it! Brook and Claire, can't be there, this is making me wonder if we are right about it having former teams after all...Maybe its former racers with someone new? Because if this season was ARAS2 and featured teams from 12-17, you couldn't race without Jet and Cord and Brook and Claire, could you...

Do we know that teams are in sequester? Do we know that TPTB would not allow them to make trivial social networking updates if they are in sequester?

If you look at peach's first comment about All-Stars, she states:

The Amazing Race will be back! Although fans are still waiting for word of an official renewal from CBS for our favorite series, TAR 18 is apparently a definite GO!!

Plans for TAR 18 seem to be well under way. The next season of TAR will reportedly include a group of former racers from Season 12 onwards, and may already be completely casted. At least one round of "final" racer casting interviews has already occurred.

With the lack of any official TAR 18 applications, it has been widely speculated online for months that TAR 18 could be an "All-Stars" of some sort. While that term is not being used officially as of yet, it IS clear that we are going to have another chance to see some of our favorite (and perhaps not so favorite racers) in action again!

Filming is expected to begin later this fall.

I wonder, if it is full-on, returning All-Stars

Many here have wondered this throughout our mostly fruitless arguments on this thread. As I have said I would be partially surprised to see another pure all stars like TAR 11.

Addendum: I know some people think that TAR 11 was not really an "All-Stars" and I agree so let's not start that again.

Well personally, I truly hope it is an 'All-Stars' rather than a gimmick season. I don't want to see say Kynt with a new partner etc. No gimmicks!

I hope Jet and Cord and The Greene Team make it for this race...

I'd like 11 teams, 12 legs involving:

Ron and Christina
Kynt and Vyxsin
Ken and Tina
Nick and Starr
Terence and Sarah
Margie and Luke
Sam and Dan
Jet and Cord
Nat and Kat
Gary and Mallory

along with Kisha and Jen or Nathan and Jennifer, of TAR 14 and 12, respectively. Leaning toward Kisha and Jen so there are 7 couples, 2 male teams and 2 female teams.

I control some facebook's profiles and Unfortunately Nat and Kat post personal messages in the last hours...

It seems like sort of overactivity to me. I wonder if the participating teams have been instructed to post something in order to make it look as though they are carrying on their normal lives.

Can any of you share links to these posts, or at least some quotes of what sort of thing they are saying?

I am just wondering how they could do a type of All-Stars if Ken and Tina, Brook and Claire, Nat and Kat and Jet and Cord are not involved...

I'm not sold that Ken and Tina aren't in the race. If I'm not mistaken, Claire is now pregnant, so that would rule out her and Brooke. On Nat and Kat, maybe they won season 17 and no former winners are on the race? And Jet and Cord are still up in the air...

I agree that those four teams would be missed, but you could still have a great season without them.

Nat and Kat are also doctors... Regardless of whether or not they win TAR17 (which I don't know, and don't want to know!), they already took one month of work off at their hospital, so I don't think they'd be able to take another month off so soon after the first one (even if they are 5-6 months away. Americans don't get very many days off a year).

I think that's probably true. It is hard for any team who raced in the year prior to the all stars to return in the same calendar year. The only teams who returned from season 10 were Dustin and Kandice and David and Mary. Those people do not strike me as having very much to do.

Keeping this good qualifier in mind, who could return from this year?

Michael & Kevin
Gary & Mallory
Katie & Rachel, maybe?

I don't know for sure. That's all I can think of. Michael and Gary seem like they could be old enough to be retired, Kevin's young, and I don't know what Mallory, Katie, and Rachel do other than look pretty/play volleyball. :duno:

Here's what I think:

Chad & Stephanie            Possible to return    
Jill & Thomas                     "    "
Nick & Vicki                     I don't think they are too busy pursuing their careers
Brook & Claire                     Probably not because of Claire, but I know Brook would go again, even with someone else
Nat & Kat                    Couldn't get the time off
Gary & Mallory                    They could probably make it happen
Michael & Kevin                Pretty much self-employed, a definite possibility
Katie & Rachel                    I'm not sure how the beach volleyball circuit works.  :helpme
Connor & Jonathan          I couldn't even venture a guess
Andie & Jenna                    I don't get from them that they would return
Ron & Tony                      Have busy careers, Race won't return last place finisher

Well, that would probably be hard to prove. All I know is that she was married on August 7th, and they finished the race in late June. She has had plenty of time to get pregnant since returning.

Since Justin still hasn't tweeted since Tuesday, I'm even more convinced that they'll be at the starting line.

I was trying to see if they were going with a race full of teams that had bad exits.  Mark has been actively tweeting, so he and Bill are probably out of the running.

You're right it doesn't matter and can't be proved.

Yeah, it looks like he used to tweet everyday. Same for Cord who also dropped off on the 16th. Mean anything?  :duno:
