The bigger trend I've seen is: most of the teams will rank worse than they originally did, then only one team will rank at the exact same position (Ozzy & Danny, Kent & Vyxsin), and everyone else will improve.

I think the way it will distribute is that the same-placer team will indicate the Season that was average in difficulty, while the teams that improve will indicate which seasons were harder (Kisha & Jen are kind of an anomaly seeing the weakness of the rest of the S14 cast).But it was interesting to see how S5, S10 and S9 made it to the finale in AS, seeing as they're considered to be on the harder side.

It also helps show that a team got unlucky to be eliminated when they were and actually had they hung around, could of won their original season.

Just some interesting tidbits about both All Stars and Unfinished Business that we may see repeated in this up coming season.

If you made the final three in your original season you will be eliminated in this season towards the middle of the pack.
If you came in fourth in your original season you will likely place second overall.
If you came in sixth in your original season you will likely place third overall
If you win, The final leg will be your only win for that season.

Dustin & Kandice and Flight Time & Big Easy placed 4th in their original season and placed 2nd in their return, Will we see a M/F team come second this season?
Charla & Mirna and Gary & Mallory placed 6th in their original season and placed 3rd in their return, Will we see a M/M season come third?

If you finished 5th you will finish 5th again :lol: Kent & Vyxsin and also never win a leg :lol: Could be Youtubers if they are invited back :lol:

Amazing coincidences! :lol:

I always thought it was funny how on both seasons that teams that finished above 4th(AS)/5th(UB) did better the second time around and those eliminated before it did worse. Oswald & Danny and Kent & Vxysin both got the exact same placement as their previous race too :lol:

I doubt that will hold this season though :/

fundamentally, I wasn't really a fan of a returners season

but I guess some of the recent casts were worth to be brought back

putting Rachel and The Twins and Marie in  one season?
Oh good lord in heaven please get us through this!!!!

Brenchel could redeem their "no-leg-win" curse I suppose ...
The Snnowboarders, The Twins, and The Country singers could redeem their 4th place finish
and Dave and Connor will just... do whatever it is they did and we're supposed to be inspired by it

surprised they didn't bring back Max and Katie, chippendales, or Amani and Marcus. Max and Katie will be thrilled to come back. I wonder how they will approach the race for the 2nd time. I mean they can't lay low and be passive-aggressive anymore it's too obvious now.
Chippendales and Amani and Marcus were probably not looking forward to return.

I assume the production didn't really want to bring back a bunch of final three racers like UB. F3 Teams to return so are only Brendon and Rachel and Jet and Cord. Like really? The Cowboys, Again????
Just get over it, CBS! they did it once they came close, they did it twice they got u-turned, so the third time is gonna be the charm?  :groan:

Apparently Maxie turned it down  :res:  (:;) :groan: :knuckles: :tantrum :( :'( :crazy: :dick :pull :faint:

I think they were just hated too much and they wouldn't be able to cope with the hate again.

really? WOW! I thought I read somewhere they wanted to return but that was a long time ago ...
they were a great a team, especially with like navigation and flights...
it's a disappointment they refused to return due to some stupid haters...

Youtube apparently were also uncertain if they'd return but I think it's easy to incorporate it into their job, also increasing their fame  :cheer:

Honestly, what makes Joey & Meghan All-Stars worthy other than being in an alliance with one of the biggest delusional idiots to ever run the Race? :nana

I think that is an unfair comment, they enjoyed the race for one, and were uturned twice for being annoying? They weren't even a threat but everyone loved Banthony and what happened, banthony won  :res: :res:

Well, plenty of teams enjoy the Race. And it really was because of their alliance. Wasn't it basically the others liked Mona & Beth a little more and weren't as annoying that Joey & Meghan were U-Turned instead? :)

I think Peach is right. So many teams, random ones like Cowboys and Country girls? They are such random teams to fling about when we have an abundance of other All Stars teams, well that most of us here agree on are all stars :lol:

Meghan was alright half the time. But then Joey's histrionics and playing to the camera would drag her down a lot honestly. Can she Race with some other YouTuber?  :hoot:

He could do all of that YouTube as much as he wants, it's those 13 episodes of a show I watch that annoys me  :funny: Hopefully it'll only end up being one  :)

Unless it's Justine Ezarik, I don't think I'd separate a team (especially Joey & Meghan) for any reason whatsoever. I'll admit, I didn't mind Eric & Danielle as a team (probably since I'm probably the only TAR9 fan on Planet Earth).  I don't think it should've been done looking back for many reasons, mainly since it denied people seeing how Eric & Jeremy would've performed against better competition.  Regardless, it should not have been done, but I respect it given the fact that both Eric & Danielle were former racers (two people that actually had a storyline).  Therefore, I'm not sure if I'd ever drop a racer for someone that hasn't raced before. JMO.

There are a couple of teams from Youtube that I'd love to see on the Race but more on the gaming side of things  :funny: That's off topic though xD.

Jason & Amy
Dave & Connor
Country Singers
Joey & Danny
Mopper
Brenchel
Art & JJ

It's a spec, it's not what I really want.

Btw, which teams turned down TAR's offer of becoming returning racers? So that we'll know which teams will definitely not show up on TAR24. :)

I can't see Jeremy & Sandy returning this season seeing as they just had a baby other than that I'm fine with your spec.

Was the Colin and Jonathan hybrid team for TARAS ever real or just made up?  I think because both Christie and Victoria were pregnant at the time?
