Although to be honest I could also see them going 3-3-3 with 2 hybrid teams, just to keep the 11 team format

But then the "versus" bit wouldn't make much sense
You are the last team to arrive.
This is a Philmination leg, so I'm sorry to tell you that you have been Philiminated from the race.

There's so many different factors to consider in terms of how any of this will work, most importantly is the timeslot and whether or not TAR is back twice a season or just a midseason filler.

If it's a midseason benchwarmer or even if it is guaranteed merely to bridge Survivor seasons in the slot, then doing this most gimmick season of all is even less appealing.

We should get two seasons unless this one kills us.

I was wondering why the CBS social media intern decided to flashback to the Brooke & Claire's watermelon moment today.

But maybe it makes sense now. They're one of the TAR All-Stars being asked back for this clusterfrak of desperation.  :groan:

If Brooke and Claire are on this season, I have at least some hope that the TAR All-Stars will be somewhat decent. I've been hoping that they would race again for so long. Although I would have still much preferred an all TAR All-Star season to this.

Brooke and Claire and Kym and Alli would be awesome but I would save them for a full allstars.

Honestly, I feel like the FF teams for BB could be the Twins in Season 17 as well as Vanessa/Tiffany.

OK if they are insisting on doing TAR vs Survivor vs BB, they better cast the best (and entertaining) teams!

I still think this TAR x Survivor x BB season is stupid, but Brooke & Claire <3

I mean if we could convince them to return then why couldn't they go full fledged TAR only All-Stars? *sigh*

I still loathe this idea, but it's better than a pure BB edition. Predictions on the TAR teams? I'm guessing Justin and Diana and Kristi and Jen for starters.

Just saw this and wow. I AM APPALLED AND DISGUSTED WITH THE IDEA. It should be called The Amazing Race: Desperate for Viewers Edition. Terrible idea. I would prefer a new cast from different ages although I would not mind with 1-2 "Popular" Teams because casting would most likely do it. BUT THIS, JUST NO!!! FOR THE LOVE OF TAR NO MORE GIMMICKS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

If Brooke & Claire are slated for the cast. Just no! Save them for the All Stars. They are more deserving to be in an All-Star Amazing Race Season, not this.

Im not a fan of this twist/theme but if it gains more ratings and keeps the show on the air longer, then I can live with it. I know we would all rather see all stars or all new teams and if they need a gimmick they could do a fans vs favorites.  I just hope they go to countries survivor has been to.

4-4-4
Is this a legitimate source? And where in the article does it say 4-4-4?

Very. Martin is the source of all our well researched Survivor info.

He didn't say 4-4-4. That is MY take on the news.

This IS happening folks. I do NOT like it but its a done deal.

The next season is a mash up of Survivor/BB/ and TAR racers.

You know what? We just need to accept it and let it happen. If it can bring good ratings, then we could have another normal season.

Survivor has been recycling past cast members for at least a portion of the cast for quite a few seasons now and I believe BB has as well (don't follow it closely). I suspect that once they start doing it on TAR (probably at CBS's urging) it'll become a semi-permanent feature most seasons.  :groan:

Redmond's good at spoiling Survivor casts and themes.  He doesn't spoil BB or TAR.  IMHO his post does NOT make it a 'done deal'.

What confused me is that you went from "I would HIGHLY suggest not believing everything you read"  to "4-4-4" with a Redmond link  to a "done deal".

What about a cast that includes hybrids?  But not in our traditional sense (Eric/Danielle, Mark/Mallory), but hybrids in the shows that they've been on.

Like Rob/Amber are hybrid Survivor/Amazing Race, Jeff/Jordan, Brendan/Rachel, Cody/Jessica are hybrid Big Brother/Amazing Race

I could see TPTB doing something along the lines of:
2 pure BB
2 pure Surv.
2 pure TAR
5 assorted multi-show teams

It would help 'keep balance' while still having 11 teams (also opening the door for Romber/Brenchal/Jordeff/Jody/Keithney to return)
