I guess some people might consider Steve a celebrity also, as he is a baseball coach.

Yep. I do.

I was looking up B.J. and Tyler on wikipedia since I just saw their audition tape on YouTube (which was well over the 3 minutes limit? not sure if there was a limit for TAR 9 auditions) and noticed at the end of B.J.'s wikipedia page that he's an aspiring actor and in 2005 (prior to his '06 TAR appearance) was in two multimedia productions...one movie (never heard of it) and an episode (as an extra) on CSI...
so add him to the (unfortunately) ever-growing list of TAR alum who are pseudo-celebs ;)
Also, Tyler was (once again, according to wikipedia) also in a Movie (albeit shortly after their appearance). Didn't know it till now, but apparently he was the hippy who steals Will Smith's bone density scanner in Pursuit of Happiness. Also, this is prior to getting on TAR:
--- Quote ---In 2004, MacNiven walked the length of Japan over 145 days. He created a one-hour documentary of the trek, titled Kintaro Walks Japan. MacNiven cited three reasons for the journey. On his first trip to the country in 2002, he fell in love with the country and had to return. It was on this trip that a friend nicknamed him "Kintaro," which means "Golden Boy," because of his blond hair. MacNiven also hoped to find his father's birthplace in Hokkaidō, where his parents had been Presbyterian ministers for two years. Lastly, MacNiven hoped to impress a girl, Ayumi Meegan, whose parents George Meegan and Yoshiko Matsumoto recorded the longest unbroken walk in recorded history, spanning 19,019 miles.[8]
Unable to find a distributor for the documentary of the trek, MacNiven burned 1,000 DVDs and began hawking copies of the film on the streets of San Francisco and at a restaurant his father owns. One day, George Strompolos, an executive from the nearby Google campus, dropped by. “Dad showed the movie to him,” MacNiven said. “He watched it and said, ‘This is exactly what we need.’” Today roughly 500 people watch the film every day at Google Video.[9]

Honestly, this is a case where I don't mind since they are one of my favorite TAR teams yet...
(no idea if these have been brought up in other threads)

Now let's look at AR16:
Caitlin Upton, Miss Teen South Carolina
Jordan Lloyd, Big Brother 11 winner
Jeff Schroeder, Big Brother 11 second place

Jeff didn't win second place. Natalie did. Jeff won America's favorite. Both Jeff and Jordan don't think they are celebs at all.
--- End quote ---
They will have been on two Reality shows in less than a year. The Amazing Race is an Emmy award winning program. So even if they do not think they are celebs that is what they have become. Also, I thought I read somewhere that Jeff wanted to be an actor and had some work a couple of years ago.
