I think 'well-known' is a more fitting term.

I'd say Bethany and Jonathan Knight are about the biggest celebrities TAR's had to date. She's had movies and books made about her, and has been in a couple of movies herself. He was part of a band that was a big deal back in the day.
And those are just the last 2 seasons, so this could be a new trend for TAR to cast bigger names.

I know this is dating back to the relatively early days of TAR, but have we forgotten how many times Rob and Amber were recognized when they were racing? Or that during the various All Stars seasons nearly everybody was known to a significant portion of the people in the countries that were visited. Yet there were no ugly incidents. I probably shouldn't have quoted it to the above. It was aimed more towards TAR456's comments about danger to celebrities.
If you're worried about celebrities, some of the Asian, the Vietnamese and the Philippines versions are just about entirely celebrities and they have no problems.

I'm worried, but not in that sense. I'm almost scared that the powers are going to overdo the celebs on TAR thing.

About danger to celebrities, I mean that celebrities in TAR may be robbed. But, you know, that celebrities that has been in TAR were less recognized by almost everyone. For example, Muslim countries would not know who is Maria & Tiffany, who are famous professional poker players. Also, nobody outside basketball fans and North America have known Harlem Globetrotters. The celebrities that are well known, are celebrities that is known by almost everyone in the world, like Ariana Grande, George Clooney, or anything that has been as actor in big role movies or famous TV series.
