I feel that if they did All Stars, it would be better to do for season 32 so that they have some more new teams and possibly more ratings.

Nah, I think 32 would be too long. AS 1 to UB = 7 seasons. UB to AS 2 = 6 seasons. 32 would be 8 seasons, and they already have plenty of teams to choose from. If they wait any longer, it'll be 31, but I doubt they'll wait all the way to 32.

Then how do AS 1 count, it took 10 seasons to pick 11 teams to return?
That is true, and I speculated about that, but I think going with the pattern of the last two returnee seasons, I think it unlikely. Caveat to that is if they skip unpopular seasons like they did in AS 1 (4,6,8) so they'd skip seasons like 26 and maybe 27 and/or 28.

i think they should do Season 20-29
1) So Mark & Bopper could race (I doubt i'd actually have anyone from S20 tbh)
2) S24 was picked terribly!!!! It should be UB 2.0 so it makes sense to do 20-29!!!

I don't want no All Stars, ever, because 24 gives me no hope that they can ever cast a great returnee season again.

And please no teams returning for third time. It WAS SO BAD. Thanks to that season, I'm forced to only remember about Cancer's whiny feud with Brenchel about the U-Turn. That's all I can remember from TAR 24.

BTW, Tim & Marie were to be cast in TAR 24, but they declined. One of them (Pam & Winnie) now works in ABC so it's impossible, but maybe. Pick again.

well, this is my dream and am using it for my fanfic. Thanks for the info tho! And I agree 24 SUCKEDDDD!!! Cast & Route!!!!! Like they had the TAR 18 teams take spots from worthy teams like Pam & WInnie, Max & Katie, and Nicky & Kim!!! That's why i feature them :) :)

Not necessarily. Kelsey & Joey were with ABC News (and still are) when they raced. So apparently network affiliation does matter.

The one thing I remember about s24, and is totally worth me buying the eventual DVD, is the UCLA band playing the theme to kick off the season. That was awesome! By far my favorite intro.

From an ET interview on TAR FB page, sounds like S30 will be another gimmick season.

What worries me is Phil mentioning Leslie Moonves, the man has awful taste and is clearly very disconnected from the fanbase of his network's TV shows.

If we do get returnees honestly, I'd take all-stars with the strangers twist than risk another casting disaster like 24.

I've heard this all-stars strangers twist rumor come up. Just recently, a couple weeks ago, I heard an ex-racer say CBS was casting a season like this in a podcast. Let me see if I can go find it.....

An interesting thing to consider is, while there are certainly plenty of All-Star worthy teams, are there many All-Star worthy individuals? Like, I assume if it was all strangers, we would only get one person per team and then follow TAR29's schoolyard pick. Most of the memorable Racers are because of their team and maybe not on their own. Not everyone is a Rachel Reilly or a Blair. But at the same time, part of their being memorable Racers are because of the fun and drama with their partners. I guess bland individuals would be mitigated by any possible clashes between those who get paired up. Though unlike TAR29, most of these All-Stars would probably know each other already or at least know of their Racing style.

I assume they're hoping for a cast full of Mark & Mallory-s. Or the odd chance that a team of rivals gets paired up together without any choice. Unless they do a random draw type of thing which could provide the drama they would be looking for.

Yes Claude you were first! I was running out the door and threw that in without looking, sorry.

But Phil does not say filming the whole month of October. "Filming in October" was all we got.

I'm just happy that we got a Filming Date!  :conf:

Personally, I would like to see a All-Stars but we need them to be real 'All-Stars'.

He also says filming at end of summer, not happening.

After several gimmick seasons a nice regular cast would be a lovely "something special".

30 is not an AllStars.

It was Rachel. And yes. 31 is being widely speculated as some sort of AllStars twist.

30 is not an AllStars.

End of Summer is Sept 22 officially, so that's around the time we expect them to start (its also after the Emmys)

im more than willing to tell peach to add to credibility i just dont want it out there in case it comes back to bite me.

the gimmick has to do with the lifestyles of the teams and how it affects the relationship but not in the way of "all the teams are internet stars!!"
