That was a shame that they couldn't race again. It was a shame they finished 2nd, because they were such a nice couple and they deserved to win.
Platrium:
Will TAR still invite racers from earlier seasons to race in the future, or will they be "forgotten" forever?
TheBayAreaGuy:
Yeah no one pre-S14 is ever coming back as a racer...they might throw a token for a premiere visit (Frank, Rob & Brennan recently) or a Switchback but otherwise, TAR history starts with S14 for the producers (they absolutely love that season). Why else would they pretend that S24 was the first "All-Stars"? This is what angers me the most as a TAR fan...it's such a slap to the face to long-time fans that the early seasons don't matter.

I would not be so sure.... :tup:
TheBayAreaGuy:
Sincerely curious, why think otherwise?
The show hasn't celebrated its history. In the S26 premiere, the montage of previous TAR couples showed only one pre-S11 team (S10 Rob & Kim). When Bertram was asked why no pre-S11 team was appearing in S18 (eg. Ken & Gerard, or the Clowns), he replied "If we're digging too far back, people might not even remember who they were." However, other RTV shows are willing to have early season teams appear.
