BIG FAT NO.

I know this was 2 years ago but YES. Justin and Diana DO NOT deserve a second chance. They were struggling at that adirondack chair challenge and Kelsey and Joey won fair and square.
Unfinished business is for teams who missed out on opportunities based on the circumstances. Like someone stealing someone else's cab, losing passports, getting lost because of a bad taxi, missing a flight/connecting flight, etc. NOT because a team struggled at a challenge.

Yeah because Lucas lost his passport? And it took him and Brittany a ridiculously long time to retrieve it? And they didn't even get a chance to run the leg before they were eliminated?
So they technically have unfinished business?

I don't think the TPTB would agree with this statement. Historically second chances and AllStars have come to popular or controversial or ratings driven teams OR sponsor chosen teams (Season 24) as well as a few honest "second chancers". Their definition is different from ours. If it was strictly that no way Abba and James would have been passed over.

Point. IMO this isn't a TPTB personality but I feel that this is how the race should be, which I don't think I implied. I mean in s18 when they were (re)introducing the teams they brought out the hamartia that led to the teams' elimination. For instance, Kynt and Vyxsin having issues with their car in Italy and instead of dealing with it maturely they panicked and were fighting all the time. Upon that they weren't able to utilize the u-turn to their advantage. With a speed bump on their back, they couldn't keep up and they were recast on unfinished business.
This is just the way I feel teams should be recast.
But if it were in my hands, God Forbid Justin and Diana be recast for an unfinished business. I would go crazy.

Unfinished business, maybe, though I still think CBS wouldn't take them for ratings purposes. All stars is an easy pass.
