Instead of Mel/Mike and ESPECIALLY Steve and Linda (Who were mediocre at best) I'd rather see Nick and Starr vs. Meghan and Cheyne in the battle of the juggernaut M/F teams.

Ron/Christina
Kynt/Vyxsin
Ken/Tina
Margie/Luke
Kisha/Jen
Jamie/Cara
Flight Time/Big Easy
Zev/Justin
Jet/Cord
Gary/Mallory
Michael/Kevin
Nat/Kat

This is more what I hoped

So far only three of them have potentially been spotted; so I'll wait for more widespread confirmation before reacting to the whole suggested cast.

I read what she said then, and even then, it wasn't 100 percent certain by the words she used to give that list.  Secondly, there's always the possibility of a change between then and now for any sort of reason.

So like I said, I'll hold back and wait for confirming evidence.

I really hope this one time, alot of those teams are wrong..

I have no idea how some of them would have even made it onto this season whereas some of the more memorable/better competitors are not involved.

Steve and Linda.. really?

Look at KevJumba's twitter page and there is something there that may be interesting.

This tweet doesn't say anything about actually playing basketball with the globetrotters. Kevin and Michael were already spotted, so this means that most likely Flight Time and Big Easy are most likely on season 18. They could be trying to throw us off though.

The only real hope for a different cast is that TPTB had a few lists going of the teams and released them to various people in the operation in hopes of rooting out Peach's source. That's the only way we can hope for a drastically different cast. If that is not the case, then I guess their definition of All Star is different from ours. Or, they are gunning for a different theme than All Stars.

On the tweets, it wouldn't be hard for someone who isn't Kevin (or anyone with twitter or Facebook) to post for them. I'm not sure what I would read into Internet activity.

Wait a second... maybe it isnt suppose to be an Allstars season.. and really is just Redemption/2nd chance for some racers that made mistakes.

Kynt and Vyxsin - didn't watch their season so someone may have a better idea..

Amanda and Kris - seemed like they would do well but ended up getting blind U-Turned ultimately sealing their fate

Jaime and Cara - Can't think of any, made it to final 3

Margie and Luke - Can't think of any, made it to final 3.... than again Tammy and Victor blew by both of these last 2 teams in the finals because they had trouble doing the past places/events final challenge thing

Kisha and Jen - In Beijing they didn't want to swim.. put them far behind

Mark and Michael - Got several penalties, ultimately sealing their fate


Mel and Mike - I think they made a mistake on the leg that sent them home. I also think they had an opportunity to get a Fast Forward but decided not to try for it

Steve and Linda - Thy were cray-cray (crazy) but didn't she decide to run down the mountain when they were waiting to paraglide and she got soooo lost? X_X

Flighttime and Big Easy - Gave up on the roadblock.. I think they were sent home that leg with a penalty for quitting roadblock

Zev and Justin - lost passport.. all i need to say

Jet and Cord - I'm sure someone can think of something... weren't they supposed to win?

Gary and Mallory - Got lost in Oman

 Michael and Kevin - lost because of penalties

How do you know its them at LAX, all the report said was 2 asian guys at LAX and thats all.  Theres no photo evidence and they didn't say its was a older asian guy and younger asian guy, just 2 asian guys.

I am speculating this because it is perceived that this is an All Star Season, and those are the only two asians that competed together on a season within the last 7 or 8 seasons.

Thing is, EVERY team that didn't win made mistakes or got shafted. Getting lost or performing poorly in a challenge is not uncommon in the race.

It said 2 asian men..


I don't remember the last time i called a 20 year old male, a boy. Just my opinion though.

And it's pretty obvious that the teams will be season 12-17 i thought

The list I posted should be the actual list, minus whoever turned into an alternate.

The other team is a rumor only, believe that has been debunked. :lol:

Erwin/Godwin, Ron/Christina, Tammy/Victor and Joe/Heidi?
