Or anyone else can answer also.....just what would be a TAR All Star.....

To be honest, I don't think anyone in TAR 18 is All-Star worthy, except *****, ******, ******* and perhaps ******. What I meant was I much rather have them call it All-Stars 2 than 'Unfinished Business'.
An Amazing Race All-Star should be memorable, unique, record-setting, most loved or hated.
In TAR All-Stars, we had a number of All-Star worthy teams/racers, like Charla & Mirna, Rob & Amber, Uchenna & Joyce, Dustin & Kandice, Teri & Ian, Oswald & Danny, Eric and Joe & Bill. They are all remembered for something and are classic teams, that are hard to replicate in recent seasons. Which is why the older seasons have more substance, in my opinion.

THREE!!!!!
I love Nat and Kat so much I didn't even dare to believe that they would win. (I know, that sounds weird not to have faith in your favourite team.) But after TAR 12 and TAR 15 where I believed that my favourite teams would win and they lost, I decided not to have my hopes too high anymore.
That said, I don't care if the finale wasn't exciting. It sure was for me, because half the time I was so anxious that a team would catch up to Nat and Kat (especially Jill and Thomas) so I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And then Brook and Claire looked like they had such a smooth traffic compared to Nat and Kat. In the end, Nat and Kat won. I almost fainted when they arrived at the Finish Line. Like, did that really happen? NAT AND KAT WON????
Who would have thought that the top two teams would be all-female teams! Even if Nat and Kat really won, I'd have predicted the second place team to be Jill and Thomas. Well, maybe the finale wasn't that exciting for many, but I guess many of us wouldn't have expected the final outcome to be like that.
My guess is wrong, Jill and Thomas didn't win. But I'm eating my words ever so happily. Because Nat and Kat surprised me and WON!!!!!
NAT AND KAT!!!!!! HISTORY IS MADE!!!!!!!!
Caelestor:
Wow, my favorite team actually won for a change! :yess: Kudos to N/K for an amazing last leg!
Now that the season is over, I'll offer a general overlook over the season. This is definitely one of my top 5 now; even though we went to only 2 new countries, there were definitely legs that felt new: England, Ghana, Swedish Lapland, St. Petersburg during the summer (instead of winter), Jebel Shams in Oman, Bangladesh, and S. Korea.
Really, there were no horrendous legs this season! The only leg I would consider unoriginal is Narvik (and maybe HK).
On a related note, did anyone notice that there's a 7-roadblock rule now? I'm surprised.
Ruth:
And I love the Pit-stop Greeter task. I'm sure by now, teams would be writing notes about all the legs. But they can't really write much about the pit-stop greeter (maybe they wouldn't even think of that) because it's something visual. I thought that it would have been a rather difficult task, but apparently they did not the the teams struggling much. Maybe they just have a fantastic memory, because I feel that I would have struggled with that.
With that, this is my favourite season EVER. And this marks the third season my favourite team has won. Awesome!

I agree! :cmas16 I was so excited to see Pit-Stop Greeters from past seasons! :cmas9 I remember seeing the one from S11 E2 on the screen! It was so cool! :cmas22
I myself was trying to play along, by guessing which seasons it comes from. :cmas23
P.S Love the various shots of the Korean Air B747-4B5! (and couple that with California Gurls! XD) :xmas146
