If we have returnees like what Survivor did, here's my honest opinion. (Not a Wishlist)
Voting pool of 20 teams.
11 teams cast.
No pre-TAR18 teams if we follow BvM's philosophy of "no one would remember them".
No threepeaters.
TAR26:
Hayley & Blair (Obviously!)
Matt & Ashley (CBS made a whole segment of them on YouTube, clearly they like them.)
Mike & Rochelle (Obviously!)
TAR25:
Kym & Alli (Obvious!)
Adam & Bethany (From the mouths of FB fans: "OMG BETHANY WHAT AN INSPIRATION" so obvious choice!)
Shelley & Nici (Fans liked them)
Tim & Te Jay (They got a montage at the end)
Misti & Jim (Pretty liked by CBS to be featured a lot on their Facebook page.)
TAR23:
Nicky & Kim (montage at the end)
Tim & Danny (Same)
TAR22:
Max & Katie (Pretty liked by fans)
Chuck & Wynona (Pretty liked by fans)
TAR21:
Jaymes & James (Fan favorite)
Trey & Lexi (Casuals loved them)
James & Abba (Same)
TAR20:
Joey "Fitness" & Danny (seemed pretty well-liked, PLUS they occasionally pop out at TAR casting calls AND they got a montage)
Bopper & Mark (Technically Bopper hasn't raced twice
)
TAR19:
Bill & Cathi (montage and locks!)
Amani & Marcus (Same.)
Liz & Marie (Liked enough at the moment)
Out:
Dennis & Isabelle (CBS likes them, but they broke up
)
Brooke & Robbie (See above.)
Vanessa & Ralph (CBS gave them a montage, but see above.)
Tim & Marie (rejected TAR24)
Pam & Winnie (Pam works for ABC now.
)
Jeff & Jackie (Got a montage but are NOT dating at all or seem very close post-show.)
