I know that casting can be a logical nightmare especially when casting a returning season but if you are unsure the cast is worthy of being called All Stars then change the subtitle. Unfinished Business was a good subtitle and theme for the season, Redemption would of worked well for this season.

The thing is, there were plenty other teams who actually were better All-Star worthy teams, yet they decided NOT to invite them.
Bertram and Co: :crazy:

Which makes it even more blaffling as to why they brought back Cowboys, Globes & Margie & Luke. We could have had the Chippendales, Trey & Lexi, Tim & Marie, Bill & Cathi, Amani & Marcus, Max & Katie, Pam & Winnie, Abbie & Ryan, James & Abba hell I would of been happy to see Joey "Fitness" and Danny return.

Tim & Marie and Max & Katie were invited, but the two teams declined it. :( I wish they were in this season.
If I'm not mistaken, Amani & Marcus were also invited.
As for the other teams, I don't know what happened, but all of those teams above deserves to return.

I have to complain about the stationing of the Double U-Turn. First of all, I do not think it's fair for a team to be U-Turned and then before they complete the other side of the Detour they are allowed to U-Turn another team?! I think that's just silly to penalise another team before you have even served your own penalty. It just doesn't make sense. Not to mention when the U-Turn is positioned pointlessly and just completely goes to waste.
The Double U-Turn is a great concept because unlike a single U-Turn, it gives the team a chance to face an opponent, however it has only been played out how it should in a few circumstances.

It is one of the weakest seasons and the ratings are showing for it. I really think there needs to be a major change within the Race management and possibly a uplifting to casting.

That's why we have this thread. :) All we should hope for now... is that TAR will follow at least most of them.
About the U-turn, I think it shouldn't be a W-turn all the time. I still miss the yield. :( There should be a combination of the yields and U-turns, but each team has only one yield/U-turn power per race.

I like how the U-Turn is played out and I do not think they should change it because then what might happen is by the time a team finishes both detours, they could be in last place and have no way to save themselves. I like Double U-Turns way more that the single ones because it means just because you are U-Turned, doesn't mean you are out. I like them, and they shouldn't be changed IMO. They can throw in some Yields and I would love to see them back, but not the single U-Turn.
Platrium:
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this in this thread: I want to see every team's arrival time at all the pit stops.
dryedmangoez:
TAR really needs to do something about having actual competition on the RACE.
This is still is Race, right? You can help other teams and have alliances and such, but I don't think we've ever seen this level of idiocy (and yes, it is idiotic) ever on the Race. These people are waiting around for other teams for goodness sakes. WTF.
I don't know how to fix that though. Maybe it's part of improving casting?
