Returning Racers Part 4: All-Star Wishlist
cbacbacba1:
I will describe my list in terms of AS3 or UB2, though most teams appear on both lists at the same time (coloured red)
For UB2,
Kym & Alli (S25, 5th) : Strong FF team, only to lose because of failure in FF
Adam & Bethany (S25, 3rd) : Bethany proved the world having one hand is enough, but she is not able to put the cities in order
Hayley & Blair (S26, 3rd) : Hayley was always right, until the last roadblock which blew their win
Justin & Diana (S27, 2nd) : Dominating the whole race with 7 leg wins, only to lose it at the final leg
Tiffany & Krista (S27, 4th) : Having such a lead for the penultimate leg, only to struggled in the roadblock, cannot recover despite an hour log penalty of the other team
Tyler & Korey (S28, 3rd) : Winning the most legs, but fell short caused Tyler cannot jump a leap of faith
Brodie & Kurt (S28, 5th) : Getting teamed up by the other teams' double u-turn plan of the others justifying their existence
Becca & Floyd (S29, 5th) : Have them swapped the roadblock performer on their last leg, they may have a shot of winning
Henry & Evan (S30, 2nd) : Henry's second thought at the final roadblock caused them a million dollars
Kristi & Jen (S30, 3rd) : Hard to not include the strongest FF team ever in the race, right?
Alex & Conor (S30, 4th) : Over-thinking the signs in Lan Kwai Fong caused them a spot in final 3
Alternatives : Misti & Jim (S25, 2nd), Tanner & Josh (S27, 6th), Seth & Olive (S29, 9th), Matt & Redmond (S29, 4th)
For AS3,
Kym & Alli (S25, 5th) : Typical example of strong FF team
Adam & Bethany (S25, 3rd) : CBS loves to have inspirational role models in races (see Charla, Luke and the Cancers)
Hayley & Blair (S26, 3rd) : Not saying they fit the season theme, but they are arguably one of the most entertaining teams ever in race history
Jeff & Jackie (S26, 7th) : CBS loves show crossovers. Because Jody won TAR30, they are representing this time.
Justin & Diana (S27, 2nd) : They are representing the Super fans (urgh B:))!
Tiffany & Krista (S27, 4th) : Who don't like some female eye-candies for the race?
Sheri & Cole (S28, 2nd) : The classic example of an underdog team. Would like to see how far they can reach by luck this time
Tyler & Korey (S28, 3rd) : Tyler's fame gonna keep them in returning, like Joey & Meghan
Becca & Floyd (S29, 5th) : Casual's faves must be invited to return, like Cowboys
Kristi & Jen (S30, 3rd) : The strongest FF team cannot be ignored, right?
Alex & Conor (S30, 4th) : Unique male teams relationship keep them in the spot
Alternatives : Shelly & Nici (S25, 7th), Matt & Ashley (S26, 5th), Denise & James Earl (S27, 5th) Burnie & Ashley (S28, 4th), Logan & Sara (S29, composite 3rd / 8th), Matt & Redmond (S29, 4th), Trevor & Chris (S30, 7th)

a definitive all-stars list for prospective s31/32
1] Kym and Alli - they don't even need justification; they're a well rounded , funny and an absolutely lovable team.
2] Shelley and Nici - they were super fans who weren't irksome, really knew the value of them racing, and everybody loves parental teams.
3] Mike and Rochelle - This couple still remains even after the cumbersome race, they showed us what love meant and were absolute underdogs who deserve a second chance!
4] Tiffany and Krista - (see : Kym and Alli) + they're really funny and quirky. They were believed to be the cliched blonde cheerleader team but they proved us wrong.
5] Tanner and Josh - I loved them so much on the show because every leg was an adventure for them and they didn't deserve to go home (see : unfair speed bump + unexpected u-turn)
6] Sheri and Cole - We don't even need to justify why they're here; the sweetest team to ever run the amazing race, and underdogs who nearly took home the cake
7] Tyler and Korey - for the casuals. And also because they were a little funny ? I don't know.
8] Brodie and Kurt / Redmond and Matt - Any one of these hyper-competitive alpha male teams. I'm not really their fans but you need a myriad of teams to make a season interesting.
9] Becca and Floyd - In a season filled with misfits and chaos these 2 were the only pure and fun-filled (literally) team. Hoping to see them return!
10] Kristi and Jen - Strongest female team to ever run the race; they'll show that men ain't got nothing on women.
11] Alex and Conor - They were a highly awkward team in the first few legs but for 2/3rds of it they really grew on us. imo They didn't have a graceful exit as they spent their last leg majorly frustrated and lost just by the skin of their necks.
and now for unfinished business because we're like 12 seasons due !! - (from seasons 19-30 excluding 19 cause that **** was boring)
1] Bopper and Mark - Remember Mallory y'all? Bopper did it better.
2] Jaymes and James - It has been 6 years but I'm sure they're worthy of a second chance.
3] Caroline and Jennifer - they would be threepeating but like,,, they're actually funny girls who broke the archetype of dumb blonde girls (see: Dustin and Kandice) by coming in 4th on their original season and 2nd on their next run - Let them take 1st once and for all !!!
4] Nicky and Kim - (I think) they were the first team in TAR history to combat an unprecedented u-turn and a speed bump. A grueling leg ultimately led to their elimination. They rightfully deserve a second chance.
5] Misti and Jim / Nicole and Travis - both hyper-competitive married doctors who earned stiff reputations on their runs. They would idly want a second chance.
6] Kym and Alli - they were their season's most successful team and literally no one predicted their elimination; a botched fast-forward really threw them off. They deserve a chance at redemption.
7] nope :\
8] Burnie and Ashley - a wrong detour and absolute chaos on the penultimate leg led to their elimination. Imagine placing 2nd 4 legs in a row and then hoping for a victory only to have your hopes slashed on the second to last leg...
9] Liz and Mike - They developed a strong synergy, albeit not being the best team of their season, they were a strong duo. Again, a u-turn and a speed bump should practically be outlawed.
10] Brittany and Lucas - a passport disaster that ended in their elimination before they could even attempt their leg. They definitely deserve a second chance.
11] Henry and Evan - they were this close to winning. Your moral conscience already knows they deserve another shot.

Isn't Tiffany pregnant? She probably can't race unfortunately.

Brooke & Robbie
Erin & Joslyn

Note 1: UB wishlist is different and never included. (I should. ???)
Note 2: Teams I took out from the list will still be great backups. Actually, even those from recent seasons that I never listed.
Note 3: I would've included Kristi & Jen as a main wish, but racing again might ruin their overall record especially after seeing them as a threat this season. If they'd be given the opportunity to race again though, I'd love to have them around once more! :)
Note 4: I took out all the teams from TAR26. :o Shows how it's probably my least favorite season among the recent 6, cast-wise. I guess it was the lack of diversity in the cast. ??? I'd be glad to see some or any of those teams again though.
georgiapeach:
Yes you all need to look realistically at who would be available.
Bethany is pregnant with her second child.
Tiffany is also pregnant.
Brooke and Robbie are no longer a couple. Brooke also has a baby.
Having said that, I do think it unlikely we will see a returning racers season any time soon.
Newbies please!
