I'm just pointing out how previous BB and Survivor crossovers were at least winners when cast on TAR (save for Alison on TAR5 and Cody & Jessica, Now for TAR31, it'll be a cast of likely all losers. Not just alums, but apparently people who have appeared on BB and Survivor more than once and LOST all times they appeared. Plus likely TAR alums who are also non-winners. So therefore, CBS is weary of possibly the perception that TAR31 will be a cast of reality show losers. ).

And that's a valid concern that carries over to TAR. The headlines being The Amazing Race is in such dire straits that they are now a dumping ground for Survivor and Big Brother rejects. Or as mentioned in this thread before, The Amazing Race: Desperate Edition.

Where are you getting this stuff? Hey I am not thrilled with this idea either. But let's stick to facts please.

Keith and Whitney were on TAR and didn't win Survivor.

There is no evidence that being on BB or Survivor more than once is a criteria for this cast.

I think there are some major assumptions being made here which are not confirmed in any way.

Speculation is fine. But unless you have firm proof, lets be sure to differentiate speculation from fact please.

Info posted elsewhere remains speculation unless there is actual proof. There have been numerous incorrect postings across multiple platforms, so let's all be cautious for now.

Thanks guys!

Isn't Tiffany pregnant (or recently given birth)?

Yeah. They are not racing for sure.

And I wish people wouldn't quote crap from missyae.  He used Russell Hantz to spoil a few Survivor seasons long ago but hasn't done anything since except (1) steal spoilers from other sites and post them as his own and (2) post lots of pure spec to see what sticks.

CBS has now announced a renewal for Celebrity Big Brother. That worries me as to how season 30 would be cast and aired. Really worries me.

They can do the same thing as last time and have TAR start earlier then shift to 9pm

The shift to 9pm did not help TAR at all.  People even tuned out for the 9pm episodes of the 2-hour blocks, even without the Olympics and even with the no commercial breaks at the top of the hour.

This season takes the lowest spot for me across all US Seasons. It is already doomed before it even started. The idea alone is atrocious.  :furious:

It's disappointing that people are willing to give up on the race over seasons that have neither cast the teams nor started filming.  For people claiming to be fans, it's almost like they want the show to fail.

If they want to check out of these recent seasons by pre-judging everything that happens, maybe they just want the viewership to fall and the show to be canceled outright.  Like fans.

 :idgit

Sometimes it's worse than the FB page, where people whine about 'normal people' not getting cast and insist that 'senior citizen seasons' would be the best option.

Maybe taking rumours with a grain of salt or being open-minded would help some of you enjoy the show a bit more.  Otherwise, maybe beggars can't be choosers.

Yikes.

And now they say this: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheAmazingRace/comments/8iwooq/tar_31_teams/

"Here's the proper rumored list (includes one former Bb/Survivor player paired with their loved one):

Big Brother:

Josh & Paul

Mark & Elena (alternate for Elissa & Rachel)

Liz & Julia

Nicole & Victor

Caleb & his wife Ashley

Survivor:

Joe & Sierra

Sebastian & Jenna (alternate for Rupert & Laura)

Brad & Monica

Dale & Kelley

Spencer & his girlfiend Marcella (alternate for Tina & Katie)

Adam & his brother Evan

For a bit surprise, no returning TAR teams will compete for TAR 31."



If this is true, I would have loved also some TAR teams, and people who played in old seasons of each reality show, not just people who played on the last 2-3 seasons of each. :/

That would make sense with the other rumours floating around about CBS' top picks declining the offers.
However, everything would also make sense as unbased speculation and wishlists, so yeah, I'll still wait for more trusted sources, or the actual race to begin.

So when is the atrocious TAR 31 going to start filming? I just hope the producers cancel this pathetic idea at the last minute.

OKAY guys ENOUGH. Whining week is OVER.

NO more false info from other sites  to be posted here.

TAR 31 is CASTED. TAR 31 Will be filming in about 3 weeks +/-.

If YOU HATE This idea, then write CBS and WRP and tell them so. But having a few FACTS  to support your anger would be good.

Otherwise can we  move forward and just hope for the best?

I really hate to see a lot of moaning and groaning when we still have a lot to learn about tis season.

Gosh knows the idea does NOT thrill me either. I am grieving for the might have been's too. But it is what it is so let's do our best to SEE what happens.

Moving on....

Back to PRE-RACE FACTS and Speculation on them please.

And FACTS do not include fantasy lists from other sites.

Welcome to RFF, kyleisalive! :welcome:

I'm pretty much in agreement with you. I've been turned off by the general negativity and gloom and doom around here for several seasons now and it's one reason I don't participate as much as I used to.

Who says they haven't already?
But it's not like they care or will listen to criticism anyway.

...

And about the definition of "fans," I think anyone who takes the time and effort to come to a TAR-specific forum to express their frustration or anger over the show and what it has become actually does care about the show that much to do so. If you want to find people who seem to want to sabotage The Amazing Race, you can definitely find those people. They are very powerful people. But not here on this forum and not even many of the fans commenting on social media.
