Casting for Season 18?
Caelestor:
I also agree that All-Stars was a below average season. Even though I wasn't spoiled, I knew it was going to be an NEL or who was going to be eliminated by the first commercial break in Episodes 6-11.
Most of my reasons have been stated by mswood, but here's my take. I personally believe that Teri/Ian and Joe/Bill could have gone further in the race had not been for the flight mess-ups. Also, it seriously messed up the flow of Episode 6-8 and forced the producers to pull some obvious bunching at the last moment. In a similar note, Uchenna/Joyce's early mercy elim left us with 2 back to back F4 NELs. That's not exciting to watch.
Finally, the returning cast. There were no major story arcs to follow (it seemed as if the teams just went on the race for fun), taking the punch out of this season. (Potentially a reason for why recruited teams don't work; they just don't have a storyline to follow.) And no, I don't mean petty inter-team drama, I mean intra-team relationships.

When Charla/Mirna beat Rob/Amber to the Pitstop and eliminated them!!!!!

ok.... we're getting off topic. *yawn*

Yes we are cocoa. I, myself seem to get longwinded when I have an opinion. I also tend to digress from the original thought. I don't know when 18 will be cast or whether they will have casting calls or applications. If Peach is right there will be no need for either. I want TAR to go back to its roots and cast non-spotlight citizens. These types of teams don't care a rat's behind about the camera men following them. They're not concerned with appearances or monitoring their speech. They are there to win a million dollars. That is the cast I hope they give us in 18. If there is no casting call, then I guess I won't get my wish. Longwinded again, huh. Sorry. I did stay somewhat on topic. :<)
TARdevotee:
Hmm, would anyone know when applications for the spring cycles of the Race are normally released? When were they released last year for season 16? I refuse to start freaking out about former racers coming back until it's actually confirmed! :neener:
