TAR 24 Contestant Spoilers "Returning Racers"

<< < (24/25) > >>

Air:
Then by logic we would have gotten people like Brandam or Tim & Danny (despite the fact I have no idea what people see in them) because everyone melted down and was like *CRIES* BRANDAM ARE ELIMINATED *CRIES* BRANDAM FOR ALLSTARS!!!11!!!!1! all over the FB page and ditto with Tim & Danny.

(CaroJen having a fanbase is pretty shocking, not because they're bad but because they're MOR and NaNa having a fanbase is shocking because I didn't realise that many people off the forums liked them)

Jimmer:
Well to be invited to All Stars they need to have SOME fan base or else ratings would be crap, but also the teams you talked about having a fan base also placed 3rd, 4th, and 5th in their original season which all but CaroJen, I think all of the teams you listed were competitive. (Even though tbh, there were more competitive teams like Tim & Marie and Maxie, Abbie & Ryan, Andy & Tommy etc.) Nevertheless, they are still competitive, especially Brenchel with their Art & JJ and Vanessa hate.

Competitive, certainly. It's TAR. :lol: However, uniquely memorable if it was only about their racing tactics, eehhh... if it wasn't for previous show or musical fan base, they would be utter goners.

Jimmer:
Brenchel would have been memorable because of Brenchel vs. Ranessa and Brenchel vs. Art & JJ, those were great rivalries! <3

Likability of teams seems to be the ONLY thing most viewers care about of TAR these days which saddens me.

It might help if you reread what Phil said about the first All Stars...


--- Quote ---He also added that the production team's goal for the race "wasn't to pick the best racers", but "to pick the teams that have earned the most attention over the last 10 seasons"
--- End quote ---

If they wanted competitive racers, they would have brought back some previous winners who won 7 or 8 legs. I don't think the All Stars label is that far off this season, the cast DOES have a bunch of the most memorable teams over the previous 10 seasons. Maybe not the 11 most memorable teams, but almost all of the teams selected for All Stars are polarising enough to have sparked major discussion from viewers.
