TAR 18 Contestant Speculation
Competitor:
Mine: no season 13 reps
I wanted it to be All Stars who were top four/five material. No offense to Steve/Linda, Kevin/Michael, Amanda/Kris, and Zev/Justin, but they didn't get far enough in their seasons to be All Stars in my opinion. I love those teams, but them over Ken/Tina and Toni/Dallas is disappointing.
Now, if TPTB are shooting for another angle, my only complaint I'd the abundance of Season 14 teams.
mswood:
My God that is a lot of all Male teams (Yuck, and for the same reason I was slightly disappointed to see 4 women teams this cycle).
And I just realized that we will be getting the Globetrotters theme and the cowboys theme each week......
calibound234:
not sure what gimmicky means.. please explain? thanks
For me...
I am underwhelmed aswell.. I thought that if they are wasting a season to bring back past racers, atleast have it be teams that we either loved or hated on their respective seasons.. strong competitors, memorable personalities, etc. Give people a reason to want to tune in and watch THE SAME TEAMS compete again.
There are 7 speculated teams from TAR 14.. Why? They could have given us atleast one Season 13 team... or another Season 12,15,16,17 team... I don't want to see a bunch of teams from the same season. Especially that one. I understand why Jamie and Cara/Margie and Luke are there.. but not really sure about the other teams.. Especially Steve and Linda/Amanda and Kris (sorry if i sound bitter...)
There are only 9 females in the speculated list of 13 teams.
5 M/M Teams
2 F/F Teams (from the same season......)
6 M/F Teams (3 are parent/child relationships)
slayton:
Mel & Mike coming back would be a pleasant surprise to me because he seemed to be busy with TV and movies. After re-reading their post-elimination interviews, I guess that it's not such a surprise:
--- Quote ---Would you do it all over again?
Mike: Heck yeah! We're ready for the invite for the All-Stars or a rematch. We'll be there for sure.
--- End quote ---
The biggest hurdles for them are Mel's age, and Mike being vegan. I think there's a huge difference between Mike White, who didn't compromise on his veganism in TAR14, and Terence and Kat who compromised their vegetarianism during the race. I hope Mike takes his own advice and brings a lot of protein bars this time, so that he doesn't end up starving for days like last time. (I know that others would have hated it and they would have had a valid point about it being an unfair advantage, but I would've been perfectly happy if Mike ran TAR18 with Reese and either Jet or Cord ran TAR18 with Sarah Jessica Parker.)
I think it's only fair that only teams that have been eliminated on broadcasted episodes by the time that TAR18 starts filming get to appear on TAR18. This way, all of the teams have been able to see all of the major things that all of the other teams did during their run on the show.
I never liked the idea of "All-Stars." I always liked what Erika from TAR5 and probably some other racers thought up, The Amazing Race: All-Losers, and this fits the bill.

basically a team that was originally casted because they were already semi-famous (specifically the Globetrotters, Cowboys, and Jumbas)
